Shangguan Hou was still on the phone. When he looked up, he saw Huo Yao exiting the small building.
His voice promptly paused. He quickly retreated by a couple of steps and concealed himself.
After stepping out of the building, Huo Yao retrieved a mask and put it on. She also pulled down her hoodie. With her slightly wavy bangs pressed down against her forehead, her eyes could not be seen fully, making it impossible to see her face at all.
The sky had turned dark and the streetlamps were on. Before long, she disappeared down the street.
Shangguan Hou walked out still holding his phone to his ear and talking. He looked in the direction Huo Yao had disappeared and pondered before changing his tone over the phone. "Don't bother sending men over. Also, get the security team to reduce one-third of the base security."
"Why?" asked the person over the phone quizzically.
