To complete the mission, I exchanged all my points for protective clothing and weapons in the store.

These past few days, I've been wandering the streets, but there are too many insects. Every two steps, I almost have to shoot one.

If I can't find the black-clad youth today, I won't have enough bullets to go out again.

Just when I was about to give up, I noticed that all the insects seemed to be guided by something, moving in the same direction.

My intuition told me that something was not right, so I quietly followed them.

Finally, they stopped at the end of an alley, and I also saw the black-clad youth mentioned by the mechanical voice.

Don't ask me how I knew, but his skin was almost translucent white, surrounded by a swarm of insects, yet no one dared to attack him.

This is not how an ordinary person should be treated.

I hesitated whether to rush up. After all, the mission rewards were generous, and the person was right in front of me.

I gritted my teeth and thought, "Take a risk and gain an advantage!"

I raised my gun and shot my way through.

However, what spewed out from the insects' heads wasn't blood, but a puddle of greenish thick liquid.

I held back the urge to vomit and made my way towards the youth.

When I was almost in front of him, he suddenly looked up and said inexplicably, "So it's you."

I looked at him puzzled.

He straightened up and walked straight towards me.

With a bit of caution, I took two steps back.

I will complete the mission, but only for the high points.

If the mission threatens my personal safety, I won't do it. After all, I need to be alive to enjoy the rewards. Otherwise, everything is in vain.

He chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't harm you. I will help you. Let's go."

I looked at him skeptically, and he maintained his original expression.

I relaxed and said, "Someone asked me to come and save you."

He nodded, "Okay, let's go."

"Aren't you curious?"

He stopped and turned around, leaning in close to me, "Will you tell me?"

I hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. After all, no one would believe me if I mentioned having a space.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he smiled, showing his white teeth, "See, even if I ask, you won't tell. What a waste of my saliva. You know, water is not cheap these days."

I brought the black-clad youth back home. He told me his name is Yan Shi, but when I asked him anything else, he refused to say a word.

I didn't insist since saving him was a mission given by the mechanical voice. I didn't need to trouble myself with unnecessary questions.

That's how we peacefully coexisted for a while.
