"When we get to the place, let's have a good chat..."
"Okay, as long as you have enough time."
Hamilton nodded and stepped lightly on the accelerator.
The off-road vehicle started again and drove smoothly to the Siming Mountain shelter...
…
At the other end, there is a clearing in the woods beside the road.
Qin Tian's headless body has been completely wrapped in red silk. The entire body is wrinkled and shriveled, and it has shrunk by a full circle compared to before.
Zhang Ning, who stood quietly on the spot, lowered his head, his eyes had already returned to scarlet color, his entire face was filled with a dull expression, and his mouth kept making meaningless sounds.
"Aba...Aba..."
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a faint sound of broken leaves in the distance. Three figures walked out of the forest and stepped into the open space where Zhang Ning was without any scruples.
The leader was wearing a black robe, with a wide hood covering his entire head, and his face was also obscured by a weird crying mask, making it difficult to tell the male and female.
The two people following behind the black robe were a girl and a boy, with complicated expressions on their faces. They were undoubtedly Lin Tanying and Deafyang.
As the man in black robe stepped into the open space, the red silk threads that filled the surrounding area trembled suddenly, and quickly retracted to Zhang Ning like a swallow returning to its nest. body of.
Stopping ten steps away from Zhang Ning, his black robe was fluttering in the breeze, like a ghost.
A hoarse and harsh sound came from behind the mask, with obvious electronic noise. It was impossible to tell the gender of the speaker.
"Lin Tanying, do you remember what I told you?"
When the man in black robe asked, nervousness appeared on the girl's face. She immediately nodded respectfully and answered in a low voice.
"Remember, Prophet."
However, the black robe still seemed uneasy, "Repeat it again."
"Sneak into the Siming Mountain shelter as soon as possible, find Tu Zhiying, and kill her."
"Well...yes, if you finish well, the light of freedom will reward you..."
The black robe raised his head, and a little bit of sunlight reflected on the strange crying face mask.
"Rise to level six as soon as possible. I will give you next instructions then."
"Uh, okay... Then where should I find you then..."
Lin Tanying asked cautiously, fearing that she would say even a single word wrong.
"You don't have to come to me. When you reach the sixth level, I will naturally come to you..."
Before the words were spoken, the clothes on the man in black robes shook violently as if they had been blown by the strong wind!
When Lin Tanying and Deafyang reacted, there was no human figure in front of them, only the stunned soldier-level zombies were slowly approaching them.
"Just... left..."
The deaf sheep murmured, his little face turned pale with shock.
The violent breathing made him realize an embarrassing fact. During the time when the black-robed man was there just now, he didn't even dare to breathe normally.
】
"Probably gone..."
Lin Tanying was in a better state than the deaf sheep, but she still couldn't hide the fear on her face, her body was trembling slightly, and her purple pupils were full of fear.
"Then...are we really going to sneak into the Siming Mountain shelter? To kill that woman named Tu Zhiying?"
The tentacles wrapped tightly around the little boy's body, as if doing so could bring some comfort to his restless soul.
"Otherwise, you want to bet?"
Lin Tanying frowned, feeling dissatisfied with Deafyang's inquiry.
Although she didn't know who the man in black robe was, nor why he suddenly came to her and assigned her a mission.
But one thing Lin Tanying knew very well was that the man in black robe was very powerful!
Just a few rays of spiritual power emanating from her body overwhelmed her, who had already entered the fourth level!
In front of that black robe, she didn't even dare to open her mental vision to check the other person's level.
"No..." The deaf sheep's head shook like a rattle, "I listen to you, and I listen to my sister in everything, but..."
"But what?" Lin Tanying frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"But do we really still want to keep this strange pawn? I always feel that his growth rate is a bit too fast, and from the time you recognized him, sister, I still can't fully control him..."
The deaf sheep's voice became quieter and quieter, and the caution on his face gradually turned into worry.
Looking at the stupid soldier Zhang Ning not far away, Lin Tanying sighed softly.
"You think I don't want to? If this pawn wasn't weird and useful at critical moments, I would have dealt with him long ago..."
"Then..." Deaf Sheep was speechless.
"Let's get out of here first..." Looking away from Zhang Ning, Lin Tanying looked at the young lady beside her, "I already have a little girl." It’s a small idea. It can not only deal with this weird pawn, but also complete the task assigned to us by the black-robed prophet..."
Siming Mountain Shelter, No. 4 Underground Shelter, Recovery Room.
Sitting on the hospital bed near the door was a fat man with a round face and a big belly. He was slowly tearing off the bandages on his body. From the high pile of discarded bandages at his feet, it could be seen that this man's previous injuries were not serious. Considered light.
As soon as he took off the bandage on his arm, the fat man suddenly seemed to think of something. He stopped moving and spoke to the side.
"Huizi, I heard from Xiao Xiao that the survivors who came out of the Four Seasons Settlement two days ago seemed to be asking about Lao Bai? Is this possible?"
"Yes, it seems to be a woman named Zha Xiahe, she looks like she is in her twenties..."
Wang Xuhui emerged from the corner and answered the question in a timely manner.
"Cha Xiahe..."
Xu Xiafeng's eyes narrowed into slits, and there was a little sparkle in his pupils. It only lasted for a breath, and then immediately returned to his indifferent appearance.
"Is he an able person?"
"yes……"
Wang Xuhui responded and quickly added another sentence.
"But she didn't want to join the military."
"Don't want to join? Huh, maybe a relative died in the Four Seasons Settlement, right?"
Xu Xiafeng snorted softly. Although his tone was unkind, the expression on his face did not change much.
Wang Xuhui nodded: "Yes, I heard that her sister, Cha Qiuju, seemed to have been killed by a prime minister-level zombie and died."
"No wonder you want to ask about Lao Bai, the person here is not evil..."
Xu Xiafeng's face showed solemnity, and after a while he sighed heavily.
"Let's take the blame and have a good talk with her, and say that the military is willing to compensate."
"We have searched for it a long time ago, but Zha Xiahe showed no intention of reconciliation, and all the compensation resources sent were returned..."
The young soldier had a troubled look on his face.
"Then what does she want? Will she pay for her life with Lao Bai?!"
Hearing this, Xu Xiafeng's brows stood up, and anger rushed to his heart.
"...It looks...like..."
"Damn it! You rebelled against her. This is what the boss of the settlement is used to. Now he comes to me to show his temper?!"
Xu Xiafeng cursed angrily and slapped the hospital bed with his palms.
There was a loud bang, and a distinct palm print with five fingers was left on the solid steel bed.
"Obviously you are more like the bandit leader..."
Faced with Xu Xiafeng's sudden rage, Wang Xuhui showed no fear at all and habitually complained.
"What did you say?! Is your skin itchy? Do you want me to help you loosen it up?!"
Xu Xia Fenghu's eyes widened and he fired an angry machine gun at his little follower.
"No, no, no, no, I've finished reporting my situation. Let's go first. Captain Xu, you can rest more and fully recover from your injuries..."
Wang Xuhui shrank his neck and tried to run away.
However, before he could reach the door, Xu Xiafeng called him back again.
"Wait a minute! Why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Wang Xuhui paused and leaned against the door, looking tired: "Your orders~"
"Keep an eye on Cha Xiahe during this period, and don't let her do anything outrageous..."
Hearing this order, Wang Xuhui once again had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Captain Xu, it's not that I don't want to do this work, it's just that there is a shortage of manpower in the shelter now, Qiu The team has also said that it will strengthen inspections and job rotations, but it really can’t allocate manpower..."
Before Wang Xuhui could finish speaking, Xu Xiafeng waved his fat palm and forcibly interrupted.
"I don't care about your nonsense. I only know one thing. The surname of this shelter is Xu, not Qiu! You kid, please tell me!"
Seeing Xu Xiafeng's indifferent appearance, Wang Xuhui simply walked back from the door, pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Xu Xiafeng.
"Captain Xu, I have been with you for five years. There are some things I want to talk to you behind closed doors..."
Seeing that Huizi, who had always been naughty, suddenly became serious, Xu Xiafeng was stunned for a moment, and then started to yell and curse.
"Damn it, if you say something you have to say, don't whine like a bitch!"
"Captain Xu, you have a good relationship with the Bai Commission for Discipline Inspection. Everyone below knows that you, the civil and military personnel of the Ninth Military Region, stole the show in front of the central government. In each military region, you two protectors were also outstanding. Famous, that’s from the bottom of my heart to treat my brothers well..."
"If you don't get the fucking point right, I'm going to kick your ass..." Xu Xiafeng interrupted Wang Xuhui's flattery in a cold voice.
"Hey, okay, I want to say that brothers all agree with you and the Commission for Discipline Inspection Bai, but the decision made by the Commission for Discipline Inspection Bai before was really..."
Wang Xuhui was a little embarrassed and glanced at Xu Xiafeng hesitantly.
Seeing the other party gently raising his chin to signal, he dared to continue speaking.
"The Bai Discipline Inspection Commission was able to make the decision to destroy the Four Seasons Settlement before, which really chilled the hearts of the brothers."
After saying this, there was silence in the ward.
Xu Xiafeng's heavy breathing continued for several breaths before he finally spoke in a deep voice.
"go on."
"There are rumors circulating in the team, saying that the Bai Discipline Inspection Commission has forgotten its original intention and lost its humanity. As a result, everyone is slowly leaning towards supporting Qiu Qianjun. There is not much left for you to speak..."
"But Lao Bai sacrificed himself and resolved a crisis that could completely destroy the refuge. Isn't this enough to outweigh the merits and demerits?"
Xu Xiafeng's eyes slowly became bloodshot, and there was a hint of pleading in his words that he had never heard before.
"Captain Xu..." Wang Xuhui chuckled, with a helpless look on his face, "Many brothers were willing to die that night. They didn't want to trade their original intention of joining the army in exchange for survival..."
