"Ring, ring, ring..."
The city began to regain its vitality.
Passersby, steamy breakfast shops, and dense bicycle traffic formed a perfectly normal and peaceful scene.
Who could have imagined that to contain the spread of terrifying forces, this place had been sealed off from the outside world for more than three months?
"Let's have breakfast first!" Zhu Xueqing suggested.

The three quickly entered a breakfast shop, with only a handful of people inside.
Each of them ordered breakfast, eating silently while listening to the conversations around them.
"You know the limping Zhang who picks up garbage in our neighborhood every day? He's disappeared too!" A tall young man said in a suppressed voice full of fear.
"Ah, he was quite kind! He's a good person!" the young man with a short haircut across from him said in surprise.
"Good person? Nonsense, who knows what bad things he did in the past? Otherwise, how could he become a 'messenger of evil'..."
