Chapter 3

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

The door to the director’s room was half-opened and unlocked. The tea on the table was obviously just poured, exuding wisps of white heat, but there was no one in the room. He didn’t know where the owner of the room went temporarily. Shen Shanwu relied on the art of boldness, looking around from the left and right, and slipped in as soon as he saw no one.

Rows of folders were neatly placed in the cabinets on the walls of the office, and the contents were carefully marked on the walls, which greatly facilitated foreign intruders like Shen Shanwu.

He quickly found what he wanted, and then locked the boy according to the time of admission and the initials of his name. Fortunately, the name of the President’s son was very complicated, and there was no situation of having the same name.

There was a little noise outside the door, and Shen Shanwu listened carefully. It was the footsteps of a group of people going up the stairs nearly 20 meters away, leaving him more than enough time to leave.

He put the documents back in place, erased all traces, came out of the room lightly with his hands and feet, and then calmly half-closed the door.

Behind the director’s office was the toilet. Even if he was asked or recorded by surveillance in the corridor, he still had a reason for being here.

Shen Shanwu returned to the hall, raised his head just in time to see the group of people he heard coming face to face, three men and one woman, one of whom was middle-aged, fat, and a little bald, without a mask, a plaid shirt, and casual pants, very much like a math or physics teacher before the end of the world.

The other three were all handsome and beautiful women who looked tall with those long legs. They were heroic in army green combat uniforms. The leader was still wearing a white cloak. Unfortunately, because they were all wearing masks, he couldn’t see their true faces.

new high-quality metal protective masks… Shen Shanwu’s heart jumped, and he had a faint bad feeling. The protective equipment for ordinary people outside was helmets and masks. Ordinary actions were unhindered, but it was indeed very cumbersome to fight. Therefore, the mercenary legions and teams that needed to fight would be equipped with masks, which were both lightweight and protective.

As for the super-grade new metal protective masks worn by these three, they were really rounding up to burn gold. It was expensive in itself. The expensive filter element inside the mask had to be replaced once a day. Most teams couldn’t afford it. Even if they had it, it would not really be used for daily needs.

However, it was worth the money. It was said that this mask was a must for breathability, protection, and lightness. Making you unwilling to remove it when you put it on

Almost instantly, Shen Shanwu realized that these three people must be members of a very powerful team from a coastal base in the mouths of the children who had skipped school just now.

From the bald teacher who was introducing the situation of the school’s teachers with a respectful and flattering tone, he didn’t guess wrong.

Shen Shanwu walked forward generously, not minding the four people on the opposite side who noticed him. When they were three meters away from each other, Shen Shanwu smiled sweetly. Like the most well-behaved student, with a loud and clear voice, he greeted, “Hello, teachers!”

What a polite and attractive student! The bald teacher smiled and squinted his eyes, “Eh, you too, classmate.”

Shen Shanwu got up after bowing and planned to leave, but before he even got one step, he was blocked by a slender and strong thigh in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and was met straight with a pair of platinum masks.

It’s the one wearing the cloak.

“What?” Shen Shanwu pretended to be taken aback and stepped back half a step. He hurriedly and timidly asked the bald teacher for help, “…Teacher.” But he was thinking in his heart if this person found any flaws in him.

The man in the way slowly squatted down, squatting down until he was as tall as Shen Shanwu, standing.

“What’s your name?” The man asked.

“…” Shen Shanwu didn’t answer, but continued to ask the teacher for help with puppy-like eyes. Although the latter felt strange in his heart, he kept smiling and encouraged the students to answer the question, “Hello, classmate, this is the Shanhai team captain of the coastal base. Can you tell the captain your name out loud?”

Yes, thank you for your help. I haven’t prepared my own pseudonym before.

Shen Shanwu remained silent, trying to make himself act like a child frightened by a strange man, while his mind was running fast… Whether it was too simple or too complicated, the name would attract attention that would make them react normally. Um… Shanwu, Shan Jian, Wu Tong, Feng Huang, Long Feng, Cheng Xiang?

“Don’t be afraid.” The voice of the captain of the Shanhai team was a little softer. Shen Shanwu could imagine a gentle expression hidden behind the mask.

The man stretched out his hand and touched Shen Shanwu’s hair. The black gloves were light to the touch, and his body temperature was vaguely revealed. When he felt it, he knew that it was expensive. He asked again, “What’s your name?”

At this time, Shen Shanwu had already figured out his stage name for his debut. He pretended to be well appeased, blinked, and said, “My name is Wu Long. Wu is Wu from Eastern Wu, and Long is the Long of Dragon Snake Horse Sheep.”

Another man in military uniform standing not far away suddenly laughed. His voice sounded young, but he was seventeen or eighteen years old. “The little guy still knows East Wu?”

Shen Shanwu didn’t answer. He just wanted to pass this test quickly and then go to the president’s son’s dormitory to send out the gift. Unfortunately, it backfired. After the cloak man knew his name, he still refused to let him go and continued to ask, “How old are you? What grade and class are you in? Where do you live? What are the names of your parents?”

What the hell was this with checking his background? Was this person sick??

Shen Shanwu was shocked. As surprised as him were the bald instructor and even the other two members of the Shanhai team. The man who had joked about East Wu was puzzled, “Captain? Is there anything wrong with this boy?”

The man in the cloak didn’t care about him, he just looked at Shen Shanwu quietly, waiting for his answer.

Should he just lie down on the ground and cry or play tricks to escape this catastrophe? Shen Shanwu’s first reaction was to make this kind of plan, but the 30 year old soul inside didn’t allow him to do so. He made up his mind fiercely, “Age eleven, a student in Class 9 of the sixth grade. My family lives in the east, and my father’s name is Wu—”

“Sixth grade…” The bald teacher suddenly interrupted in surprise, “There is no Class 9!”

“…” Shen Shanwu secretly scolded himself for miscalculation! He just thought that the first few classes were all top students, and the teacher might remember their faces and names well, but he didn’t expect that they were compiled too late, and there was no Class 9 in the school. He quickly recalled what class the president’s son was in, and made up for it. “Ah, I’m sorry I was wrong. I’m from Class 5 of the sixth grade.”

“Is the pronunciation of 9 and 5 far different?” The only woman present said coldly, she seemed to have doubted Shen Shanwu’s identity, and asked in an interrogative tone.

The squatting team captain still didn’t respond, but the bald teacher was even more frightened, “I..I am the teacher of Class 5 of the sixth grade, and there is no Wu Long in our class!”

Shen Shanwu: “…”

Shen Shanwu turned around, tiptoed a little, and jumped out of the half-open window directly.

It’s really bad luck. It was clear that everything had gone well before. Why did he suddenly meet the team captain halfway through, staring at him and asking questions?

There were many places suitable for climbing on the outer wall of the administrative building. As soon as Shen Shanwu turned out the window, he saw someone stretching out their arm to grab him. He quickly and dexterously avoided the side, and then jumped downstairs without looking back.

A child’s body was really inconvenient, but Shen Shanwu must not become an adult in full view of the public. He thought he had not exposed his identity, but he couldn’t figure out what the captain had found.

A high and sharp whistle pierced through the sky from Shen Shanwu’s head, and in an instant, the eyes of the entire campus turned to him.

He raised his head in surprise and saw that the two team members were a man and a woman. They turned over the window and jumped off the building faster than he did. At first glance, they wanted to arrest him and bring him for interrogation. The team captain stood there gloomily by the window. The cold platinum mask was facing him.

Shen Shanwu didn’t know how fast a normal ten-year-old boy could run. He only regretted that he wasn’t patient enough. When he didn’t know whether his mutant identity was exposed or not, he fled in guilt.

Before he could run two steps after landing, two men in army green protective suits suddenly appeared in front of him from nowhere. They wore armbands belonging to the Shanhai team on their necklines and arms. They pulled out their guns neatly and aimed at Shen Shanwu, shouting loudly, “Stop, don’t move! Raise your hands above your head, or I will shoot!”

Shen Shanwu: “…” On the surface, he’s just a weak little boy! Do they have to be so vicious?

Their masks were equipped with communication devices, and Shen Shanwu’s excellent hearing as a mutant vaguely heard some orders. The two men immediately retracted their hand guns and prepared to step forward with their bare hands to catch him.

Hmm? It seems that this order was most likely not to hurt him. If they really shot him and found out that he was a mutant, it was known that mutants would not be injured by a bullet..

Shen Shanwu turned his head slightly and saw a man and a woman slowly approaching behind him, while the two men in front of him were also approaching. He decisively stepped short and escaped from the right at a very tricky angle.

“Fuck! Is this kid a loach?” The young man yelled, and hurriedly chased after him again.

This direction was heading to the auditorium. After Shen Shanwu realized this, he was overjoyed. The auditorium was full of students. He would drill into the crowd and could easily get out.

But when he felt that he was about to escape, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened from the inside, and two people who were also wearing the armbands of the Shanhai Team came out from the inside. One of them had a tie on their neckline. It is very likely that he had just been called down from the podium by the whistle.

Wasn’t it just dealing with a single kid? Why did they have to send the whole nest?!

“Lieutenant! That’s the kid!” The young man pointed at Shen Shanwu and yelled. Before his voice fell, the door of the auditorium was closed again, and the two big men in front of him had already moved. The lieutenant who appeared late was the most ruthless. He grabbed Shen Shanwu by the back of the neck and almost pressed him to the ground. The young man quickly yelled again, “The captain ordered not to hurt him. Lieutenant, take it easy!”

The lieutenant’s arms stiffened, and he changed his posture halfway, from pressing to the ground to lifting to the sky, as if he was holding a bomb, looking heroic and righteous. Shen Shanwu gave up the struggle speechlessly. He wanted to see what medicine was being sold in the team’s pot.

Afraid of him running away, the lieutenant tightly grasped Shen Shanwu’s wrists with one hand. As soon as he was surrounded, the next second, the captain of the Shanhai team walked over in strides. The length of his legs was an advantage, and the bald instructor behind him couldn’t keep up with the trot all the way.

“Why are you running?” The captain asked after standing still, and the cloak that fluttered all the way with his steps also returned to its original position lightly.

Shen Shanwu didn’t bother to pretend to be good anymore. He said angrily, “Look at you chasing me so scarily, who wouldn’t run?”

“I’m scary?” The captain was startled for a moment. He thought for a while, raised his hand, and gently pressed the cheekbones on both sides of the mask. Suddenly, the lock on the back of the mask fixed to the head opened in response. He lowered his head slightly and took off the mask on his face with one hand.

At the bottom was a very British and handsome face. The first thing that was revealed was a pair of gentle and affectionate peach blossom eyes, followed by a tall nose, and the corners of the lips naturally rise in the arc of the invitation to kiss the lips. When coupled with the carefully crafted facial contours, it was a very affectionate look.

But these soft appearances were suppressed by a cold and hard temperament. Even if Shen Shanwu could see that the reason the captain took off his mask was to show that he had a stronger affinity, the gloomy expression on his face all the time, as if he had just lost his parents and a loved one died, really stopped the child from crying at night.

The author has something to say:

Captain: To a certain extent, your description is correct; a loved one indeed died.

Shen Shanwu: I don’t want to know at the moment.
