Chapter 1445: Chapter 10: Big Face Cat

A small helicopter took off from Rhein University, heading towards the outskirts of Donghai City.

Lin Xian looked down.

Chaotic, dirty, dilapidated.

The outskirts of Donghai City were dotted with many small villages, all of which felt wild without exception.

Just as Liu Feng had said.

An enclosed environment like Rhein University is practically a paradise in this era; the chaos in Brooklyn and the outskirts of Donghai are the norm in these times.

The small helicopter descended far from the village where Chen Heping was located, and Lin Xian and Liu Feng prepared to walk the rest of the way.

“This kind of unfriendly helicopter is likely to backfire.”

Liu Feng explained:

“It would be better if we walk over slowly; at least we won’t make them feel threatened. No matter what… the villagers on the outskirts of Donghai tend to be hostile to Rhein University.”

“Why?”

Lin Xian asked:

“Is it purely out of jealousy or envy?”

“Not entirely, I suppose.”

Liu Feng showed a troubled expression:

“In an era where resources are limited, and life is generally backward, the interactions between individuals and even between organizations are quite complex.”

“Our Rhein University maintains a neutral stance by not getting involved in any disputes, but instead, we become the enemy that everyone resents.”

“But don’t worry too much about it; everyone knows we are neutral. It’s just an emotional resentment towards us, but it’s also a form of safety statement. Of course… we still need to be cautious.”

Liu Feng took a gun from the pilot and handed it to Lin Xian:

“Just hold onto the gun. Your shooting skills are the best; I feel safer when you have it.”

Lin Xian picked up the gun, weighed it, and handed it back to the pilot:

“Forget it. I think it’s better not to bring a gun.”

He looked at Liu Feng and explained:

“Since we are seeking help from Chen Heping, we should at least come with sincerity. Not bringing weapons is our greatest sincerity.”

“And you mentioned before, even when our people carried weapons and clashed with Big Face Cat the day before, Big Face Cat just drove them away without using weapons.”

“I… how should I put it, even though I’m familiar with Big Face Cat and the others, they don’t recognize me. But no matter which dreamland I encounter Big Face Cat, he is always a simple person.”

“Especially in this era, if Chen Heping is alive, then Big Face Cat’s daughter must be alive too. Based on the pattern I’ve gathered, as long as Big Face Cat’s girl is alive, he will definitely be a good father.”

Recalling in the Second Dreamland, Big Face Cat’s doting smile towards his children, he even reminded Lin Xian to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, all to set a good example for the kids.

This naive and rugged man, though crude and wild, has a gentle heart.

Lin Xian knew it very well.

This was his Brother Lian, and he was a part of the Lian Gang; even if the Lian Gang might not accept him now, in Lin Xian’s eyes, Big Face Cat and the others were already good friends like CC.

Liu Feng glanced at Lin Xian.

He didn’t say much, just followed quietly behind him, staggering towards the village ahead.

…

“Stop!”

They had just reached the entrance when suddenly a tall and thin man with sharp eyes and a red tassel spear in hand glared at them:

“Where did you city folks come from! Get off our land!”

Lin Xian looked up: “Oh no.”

“What is it?” Liu Feng asked curiously in a low voice.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Er Zhuzi was guarding the gate?”

Lin Xian frowned, complaining:

“Liu Feng, your intelligence work is terrible; how could you not mention such an important detail?”

Faced with Lin Xian’s complaint, Liu Feng was taken aback:

“Does it matter who guards the gate?”

“Of course, it matters…”

Lin Xian sighed inwardly.

If he had known this tidbit, he would have brought a female teacher from Rhein University with him and then pretend they were a couple, and Er Zhuzi would have let them pass with eyes closed.

But now.

He was a big man, bringing along Liu Feng, this decrepit old man, and if Er Zhuzi lets them through, that would be a miracle.

However.

Since they were here.

No choice but to forge ahead.

Lin Xian walked up with a smile:

“Brother Zhu.”

“Who the heck is your Brother Zhu! Get out of here!” Er Zhuzi spat and swung his spear.

“Huh? What’s up, Er Zhuzi?”

Suddenly.

From behind the village gate came a sweet voice… gentle as the wind, warm as jade.

Then.

A slim, fair-featured woman stepped out, with a five or six-year-old girl in tow.

“Sister-in-law!” “Sister-in-law!”

Lin Xian and Er Zhuzi blurted out in unison.

Lin Xian took a clear look.

This beautiful woman was none other than Sister-in-law Lian, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time!

It really had been a while.

He still remembered, during the Second Dreamland, going to Big Face Cat’s house every day to eat dumplings, all made by Sister-in-law Lian.

Sister-in-law Lian was not only beautiful and kind but also understanding, and Lin Xian had a very good impression of her.

Swish —

Before he could take a step forward, Er Zhuzi was already snorting steam, thrusting his spear at Lin Xian’s face:

“You pampered rogue! How dare you call her sister-in-law!”

Sister-in-law Lian was bewildered by the scene before her.

She looked at Er Zhuzi and then at Lin Xian:

“You two… By the way, do you know me?”

“Of course I do.”

Lin Xian smiled warmly:

“Sister-in-law, I’m Brother Lian’s friend. Can you let us in to see Brother Lian?”

“Brother Lian my foot!”

Er Zhuzi, angered, practically jumped up, just short of riding a Qiankun Ring.

He pointed at Lin Xian and cursed:

“Is your purpose to see Brother Lian? I’m too lazy to expose you! You pretty boy clearly have ulterior motives!”

“Alright, alright.”

Sister-in-law Lian, holding her child, clapped to stop Er Zhuzi:
