"Who are you, and what do you want with her?" One of the soldiers asked.
"I am her friend, and I am worried about her since she lost someone important recently," Ryan replied. "I just need to confirm that she is alright."
Ryan was trying to be as friendly as possible. Still, in the end, the Chinese soldiers didn't relax even a little bit for some odd reason. It didn't look like they had problems with foreigners, so they had no real reason to be so wary of him. Or maybe the fact that they didn't have many visitors was the cause of that.
While Ryan was expecting a positive answer, he noticed that Shanghai didn't suffer from Poseidon's flood. While the ground around was wet thanks to the seawater, the city itself was completely fine… probably because it was inside someone's domain.
