Several off-road vehicles flying the Military Department's flag drove steadily through the morning mist and darkness.
In winter, Zone 15 was just as silent as Zone 19. At this hour, the streets were practically deserted, save for the patrolling security teams.
Leighton's gaze shifted from a security team back to the little one curled up and fast asleep in the passenger seat.
She must have felt too stuffy, as she'd stopped covering her head with her scarf, revealing a small, flushed face.
The last time he had seen her was back when he led the little lions to capture a fugitive in Zone 19.
He hadn't seen her in several days, and her face had gotten a bit rounder.
'Looks like those guys from the Military Department took good care of her,' Leighton thought to himself. Glancing back, he saw the two little lions in the backseat, craning their necks to stare at Gu Ning.
They had been holding that position ever since she fell asleep.
"Have you two stared enough?"
