Chapter 498

Su Yang turned his head and, seeing Liu Mengyun's determined and stubborn gaze, nodded.

"Good, then you stay!"

"Mm!"

The entire Yangcheng City was empty.

Inside the city, there was utter silence.

A few ferocious beasts hiding in the shadows crept out stealthily and gnawed on other corpses.

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun stood back-to-back against the deserted Yangcheng City, waiting in silence.

Waiting for this Yangcheng City defense battle that belonged solely to the two of them!

At dusk, Liu Mengyun cleared out a small residential house near the collapsed western city wall that still had running water.

The two ate a meal inside the house and took a bath before returning to their respective bedrooms.

The entire city was eerily quiet, like a ghost realm!

On the third day, at four in the morning, Su Yang jumped out of bed.

"Damn it!" he muttered irritably, "These ferocious beasts really know how to pick their time—both times they appeared, it was during this exact window!"

"How long until they arrive?"

Liu Mengyun pushed open the door and asked.

"Half an hour!"

Su Yang entered the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed water onto his face.

"Here!"

Liu Mengyun handed Su Yang a towel.

Su Yang rubbed his face and stared at his reflection in the mirror, momentarily stunned.

This towel with blue stripes resembled the one he had prepared himself.

Having long been on missions away from home, Su Yang had the habit of bringing his own towel and toothbrush.

"Brush your teeth?"

Su Yang asked in confusion: "Do you have a clean toothbrush?"

"This is yours. As for whether it's clean, only you know!"

Liu Mengyun handed Su Yang a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a tooth-cup bearing a cute cat pattern.

That cup was still a small gift from his sister, Su Xiaoxiao.

"This…"

"I just went back to the inn to pack up. When I opened the door to my room, I remembered—this room was yours. So I casually picked up the things you left in the bathroom and brought them back!"

Liu Mengyun's voice was as cold as ever.

"Then I owe you thanks."

Su Yang believed Liu Mengyun's words.

"I'm your deputy officer!"

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Su Yang stepped into the chilly night air, fully alert.

Storm Eagle stood atop the collapsed city wall, waiting quietly for him.

Su Yang spread his arms and stretched, every joint in his body cracking loudly.
