Chapter 53: The First Pet

Moonstone City, within the Third Civilian District.

Chen Qi stepped over the narrow, pitch-black tunnel, emerging from the crack's entrance.

The Black Rabbit gang might very well be lying in ambush at the crack.

Chen Qi cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

The time flow in the crack synced with reality.

By now, night had fallen, and moonlight bathed the chaotic city in this remote corner of the world.

Chen Qi scanned the area.

The dilapidated streetlights flickered, walls were covered with bullet holes and smoke stains, some shops were completely ruined, and the air was tinged with a hint of gunpowder.

The moment he emerged, a drunken plumber by the street and a woman reading the newspaper on a rooftop both glanced his way simultaneously.

Among them were gang informants.

Gangs, like rats, made full use of their numbers to oppress the weaker individuals.
