Early morning, city n, Excellent Biopharmaceutical Company.
Compared with the zombies passing by from time to time on the surrounding streets, the empty space in front of this building full of futuristic technology is a bit weird.
It can't be said to be clean, because there is also a lot of garbage and dust blown by the wind at the door of the building;
But it can't be said to be messy, because the main roads around the building are clear, and at least two vehicles can move forward side by side.
Most of the moon hanging in the sky has sunk into the horizon, and a fish-belly white color appears in the east, announcing the arrival of a new day.
Because of the special time, the restless city ushered in a rare tranquility, without the roar of zombies or the roar of strange beasts.
It seems that everything is still the same. When the sun rises, the city will be busy as usual.
But just at this moment, the roar of an engine came from the street in the distance.
Two black Land Rovers were speeding through the streets, not very fast, but definitely not slow either.
It stands to reason that zombies would subconsciously choose to approach after hearing the roar of the engine. After all, they are very sensitive to sound.
But facing these two Land Rovers, no zombie dared to step forward.
On the contrary, those in the middle of the road will run away in the opposite direction in advance, as if they are afraid of getting too close to the car.
The side window of the Land Rover opened, revealing a head with gray hair.
"Hey, the city is better than my little broken town..."
With his slender arms sticking out from the window, Wang Jue looked like a tourist returning from a trip, enjoying the cool breeze in the early morning.
Gang Hu in the main driver's seat did not stop her behavior, but he also had no intention of talking to the woman, and just drove the car on his own.
Just when the vehicle was about to arrive at the downstairs of Excellence Biopharmaceutical Company, the strong man took out the intercom and spoke concisely.
"Notify Research Station No. 22 that we have arrived and ask Honglian to send someone out to greet us."
"receive."
The same concise reply came, accompanied by a harsh brake sound.
The two Land Rovers parked at the edge of the building. Except for Wang Jue, who jumped out of the car and stretched himself, no one else had any intention of getting out of the car.
The streets were deserted. Apart from the zombies wandering in the distance, it was difficult to see a living creature.
A scene of doomsday depression.
Probably because he felt that getting out of the car alone was a bit boring, Wang Jue, who wandered around for a while, turned back and did not get in the car. Instead, he walked around the front of the car and lay down by Ganghu's window.
"Little Tiger, I haven't seen you for a year. You have become a lot more impressive. Now you can't even go in on your own initiative. You have to ask Honglian to send someone to pick you up."
Glancing at Wang Jue, whose face was full of joking, Gang Hu showed no expression.
"I just follow the procedures given by the organization. It's not what you think, Dr. Wang."
"Hey, what does it matter? It's normal for your strength to increase and your style to increase..."
Wang Jue laughed, as if his relationship with the other party was extremely good, completely forgetting the previous tense situation.
After waiting for a while, people began to appear in the quiet building.
There aren't many, only four.
The leader was naturally Hong Lian, who was wearing a red windbreaker, and behind this woman were three men with stern faces.
Before the four of them got close to him, Wang Jue stretched out his arms and said hello from a distance.
"Sister Honglian, long time no see..."
"Dr. Wang?"
Hong Lian, who was still looking solemn at first, couldn't help but speed up her steps when she saw it was Wang Jue.
"Dr. Wang, why are you here? I heard Yin Ji say that you are not..."
Before Honglian finished speaking, Wang Jue raised his palm and made a stop gesture.
Then he pointed to the steel tiger in the car and shrugged.
"Well, I was captured by this little tiger. I was just staying in the Siming Mountain Refuge..."
"Steel Tiger? You..."
Honglian frowned slightly and was about to say something, but when his eyes glanced at the closed iron plate on the back seat, he immediately changed his mind.
"It's better to invite Master Apostle out quickly. Master Feng has been waiting below for a long time."
Upon hearing the words 'Lord Feng', both the playful Wang Jue and the expressionless Gang Hu were slightly startled.
"Master Feng is here too? Shouldn't he be in Kyoto?"
"Here we go, let's move faster." Honglian nodded and did not answer Ganghu's question, but just urged.
At the same time as she spoke, the three action team members behind the woman also stepped forward and gave Ganghu a look that said, 'They can help.'
Seeing that Honglian had no intention of explaining, Ganghu didn't ask any more questions, got out of the car silently, and called his team members.
"No. 4, No. 5, please bring out the apostle..."
As Gang Hu issued the order, the two women, whose faces were mostly covered, came over and walked towards the back of the car that was closed by an iron plate with a look of reverence on their faces.
"Honglian, what do you call these people?"
Although Gang Hu no longer needs to call Hong Lian "sir", there is still a trace of fear in his words and deeds. It is not as Wang Jue said before that he has become arrogant.
"Oh, I just forgot to introduce, Greedy Wolf Team, the action team of Research Station 22, captain Chen Lang, a first-level ability user."
I don’t know if it was Guren’s intention or if she didn’t pay attention at all. In short, when introducing the Greedy Wolf Team, she just introduced the captain’s name in a cursory manner and did not mention the other two team members at all. She seemed a little absent-minded.
"First-level ability user Chen Lang, right? Please appoint a team member to park our car. Now, just follow No. 2."
Although the head squad leader's face was covered by a metal mask, his disdain for Chen Lang and others could still be seen in Gang Hu's eyes.
Although his tone was far from cold, it always sounded like he was commanding.
Although Chen Lang and others felt unhappy after hearing this, their immediate superior Hong Lian didn't say anything at the moment, so they naturally had no right to be unhappy.
Maintaining a kind expression on his face, Chen Lang turned to his team members and said.
"Li Ming, you and Lord Steel Tiger's team members will park the car together. Shan Peng and I will help escort Lord Apostle..."
Before Chen Lang finished speaking, Gang Hu raised his hand and forcibly interrupted.
"No need, all three of you go and park the car. Let us escort you, the apostle."
With that said, Gang Hu stopped No. 2 who was about to drive.
"No. 2, give the key to Captain Chen. Leave small things like parking to them."
"yes."
The man called No. 2 simply responded and at the same time threw the key in his hand towards Chen Lang.
"Take good care of the car, otherwise it will look good with you..."
