"What do you think it is?" the old man asked.
"I don't feel anything right now," Qiu Shi flicked his finger on the screen, "Delete this paragraph from Li Datou's share, and delete the one that captured me."
"Didn't I say I won't delete yours?" The old man started to operate.
"That girl is quite smart," Qiu Shi said. "She may not remember the duration. She could tell there was something wrong just by deleting that bit."
The old man shook his head: "Most people are not as careful as they are without preparation."
"I want to use this to negotiate terms with the Security Administration," Qiu Shi leaned on the back of his chair and swayed slightly, "I have to make sure that no one other than me notices it before I provide it to him."
The old man stopped moving his hands and turned to look at him.
"Just don't think of yourself as a human being." Qiu Shi waved his hand at him.
"It's okay not to be a human being, but it's not interesting to be a human being anyway," the old man said, "but I want to share the benefits."
Qiu Shi frowned.
"Then kill me." The old man said.
"What do you want?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Map." said the old man.
"Go away," Qiu Shi stood up, "If Li Feng wants a map, you want a map. Why are you joining in the fun?"
"What I want is different from him," the old man said. "Just find me a railway map, any kind."
"Railway?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Like this," the old man took out a plastic map fragment from an iron box next to him and handed it to him. "Do you see clearly? It's different from the ones Li Feng asked for."
Many people are collecting those maps from before everything started, with different purposes. Most of them are for collection, which is valuable, and some are for finding other shelters.
This seemed very mysterious to Qiu Shi. After all, some of the refugees found Yuncheng with maps.
The map Li Feng wanted was a little different, with the locations and structures of various special underground buildings. However, Li Feng also corrected him. They couldn't be called maps, but they should be called what Qiu Shi was not interested in.
He has lived here since he could remember. It has such a sky, such a wind, such a mountain, such a world, and such rules.
As for everything else.
"Who cares," Qiu Shi said, "They are all things that no longer exist."
When he went downstairs, he looked up and met Li Datou's eager gaze. Qiu Shi threw the memory in his hand over.
Li Datou was indeed an inner-city waste. He tried to pick it up with both hands but failed to catch it. The memory hit him in the face and then fell into the girl's hands.
The girl turned back and stretched out her hand to him: "Deng Yeye, just call me Lao Deng."
Probably intending to give him a high five.
Qiu Shi didn't have much interaction with people who he expected to be in trouble unless necessary. He just glanced at her hand and turned around to go to the bar.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, several of them left the tavern.
When leaving, the boss brought two bottles of wine to Zhao Lu, saying they were good things from the inner city.
When the boss dies, he wants to be burned instead of being thrown into the endless cave outside the city like garbage. This can only be done by corpse collectors like them.
"Burn me too." Hu Xiaoling said.
"Well," Zhao Lu nodded, then turned around, "Brother Shi, where are you? Do you want to burn you?"
"I'll make a specimen and put it on your bedside for worship." Qiu Shi said.
When we returned to the corpse collector's bunker outside the city, the sky in the distance had begun to turn white.
Everyone else was still sleeping, but Captain Xiao Leixiao was standing on their only path, with two people with him.
"Do you usually stay up all night like this?" He asked before Qiu Shi could speak.
"Are you in love with me?" Qiu Shi asked.
Xiao Lei was stunned.
"How long have you been waiting for me here?" Qiu Shi said as he walked inside, "Come on, come to my room."
"Qiu Shi!" Xiao Lei was a little annoyed and his voice suddenly rose, "Can you and your people cooperate with my work? Do you really think of yourself as the boss?"
Zhao Lu sighed.
Just when Xiao Lei judged the meaning of his sigh, Qiu Shi kicked him in the chest and sent him flying backwards. Hu Xiaoling reached out and fished him out twice but failed to catch him.
Before Xiao Lei could breathe again, Qiu Shi pulled him up from the ground and swung him against the rock next to him.
The kicking and throwing made Xiao Lei lie on the ground and kicked his legs several times without being able to stand up.
"I'm the boss here," Qiu Shi stood in front of him. His breathing didn't even change during these two times, his voice was calm, "But I'm being reasonable. If you don't bother me, I won't hit you."
Xiao Lei said nothing.
Qiu Shi turned around and entered the bunker. Only then did the two people Xiao Lei and others dared to go over and help him.
"What's going on with this guy?" Zhao Lu was puzzled, "Why send such a fool to such a complicated place outside the city?"
"Li Feng's enemies," Hu Xiaoling said, "were sent here to be beaten."
"Are you really going to check something?" Zhao Lu frowned, "What can a person like this find?"
"Maybe they are checking us." Qiu Shi said.
"Why?" Zhao Lu became anxious, "We have been doing the dirtiest work and living the most difficult life in these years. Not to mention entering the inner city, even going to the outer city is fucking uncomfortable. That's all. They didn’t let them take care of anything…”
"That's it," Hu Xiaoling said, "We are not under their control."
"Really?" Zhao Lu looked at Qiu Shi.
"Huh?" Qiu Shi also looked at him.
"Are you pretending to be stupid?" Zhao Lu asked.
"I'm so stupid sometimes," Qiu Shi said.
After the "Jungle" passed through, the damage reports in various parts of Yuncheng have been summarized and put on the table. The Security Department needs to arrange materials and manpower for these places according to priority. These are Li Feng's jobs.
Li Feng called the secretary in: "Let's take care of these things that I have already signed. I will have to go to the warehouse in a while. I will not be in the office all afternoon."
"Have you met the body collector? I think it's in the schedule." the secretary asked.
"Yes." Li Feng nodded, "By the way, I want to know about the situation outside the city yesterday."
The secretary lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand: "There is a huge shortage of workers over there in the forest."
"Find someone from outside the city to bring in," Li Feng said. "Singles are given priority. Ask the company's engineering department for the specific number of people."
"Okay." The secretary went out.
Li Feng glanced at the time. Qiu Shi was a relatively punctual person and it should have been almost time. He stood up and left the office.
Qiu Shi changed his clothes and stood at the gate of the inner city, waiting for the guard to check his pass.
For many refugees, the gate to this city in the clouds is Daheishan, the mountain that can stop all kinds of disasters and dangers, and can also stop everyone.
However, the real gate of Yuncheng is actually in the inner city, behind Dahei Mountain. You can see it from a distance after coming through the tunnel, but you can't see it when you get closer, because the sign of the gate is the three stone statues standing on the cliff. .
The initial scope of Yuncheng was the inner city. Later, in order to accommodate the constant influx of refugees, it slowly expanded beyond the outer city.
Qiu Shi raised his head and looked above.
These three are the founders of Yuncheng. On the left is the generation leader of Yuncheng Mining. In the middle is the first general. The one on the right is a latent guard, but the stone head has been chopped off.
Cloud City does not allow biological entities to exist or enter, but one of its creators is a latent guard.
Qiu Shi went to school for a few days. The school mainly taught various skills and also introduced history, but it was not very detailed. However, Qiu Shi studied very seriously.
According to the records in the book, biochemical bodies were entrusted with important tasks because their capabilities and resistance far exceeded those of humans. However, some of them chose to betray when the disaster occurred. After humans destroyed most of the rebels, a small number of responsible people were left. The biological body that works as a guard, that is, the hidden guard.
However, the uncontrollability of biochemical bodies cannot be solved. They are infinitely close to humans but have no human characteristics. The potential guards were eventually eliminated because they threatened human survival, and Yuncheng no longer allowed any biochemical bodies to exist or enter.
But regarding this part, the official and private opinions are different about who is the righteous side between humans and submarines.
Of course, the so-called folk sayings, for Qiu Shi, were the old man's sayings.
The old man stood firmly on the side of Qianwei, full of distrust of the company.
"Because we have experienced it." The old man said.
Qiu Shi chose to believe a little of both sides, but not entirely. After all, he only lived for the moment. The company is naturally not trustworthy, and no one as old as him can back up what the old man said.
Qiu Shi needs to be "summoned" by the Security Bureau to enter the inner city, and the area of activity is also restricted. Generally, he can only go from the inner city gate to the Security Bureau warehouse to pick up some odds and ends, such as car repair tools and non-lethal weapons. It's simple. protection and the like.
It is yes to ask for food with a certificate.
The guard checked and passed his pass. The guard's surname was Lu and he was familiar with Qiu Shi, so the inspection was quite fast. The delivery truck from the warehouse over there was also waiting.
When Qiu Shi was about to go over, another guard glanced at the inspection machine and said with some disdain: "The body collector."
Qiu Shi turned to look at him.
"What are you looking at?" The guard also looked at him.
"New here, right?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Come in." Guard Lu shook his head at him.
"What are you looking at? Do you care if I am new here?" the new guard said.
"Recognize me," Qiu Shi smiled, "I'll collect the body for you tonight."
The new guard stared and prepared to come over, but was stopped by Guard Lu: "He is Qiu Shi."
Then he turned to Qiu Shi and repeated with a raised voice: "You come in!"
Qiu Shi turned around, entered the gate, and got into the delivery vehicle.
Today he didn't just go to Li Feng to ask for a meal, and didn't want to waste time. In the past, his process today was to attack the police, attack the new idiot, and then go to the dungeon for three days.
It's very familiar, I don't know how many times I've done it.
The warehouse of the Security Department is in the center of the inner city, in a single-peaked mountain. It has several floors and goes deep underground. It was the former mine of the mining company.
However, although the warehouse is in the center of the inner city, the delivery vehicles will not go through the central road. Instead, they will go to Tanxia District on the edge of the inner city. When the car drives on the small road, you can hear the huge waterfalls in the distance. The impact sound.
Driving all the way into the warehouse, then into the transportation warehouse, and all the way down to the bottom floor of the warehouse, Li Feng was already waiting.
Seeing Qiu Shi get out of the car, he turned around and walked inside, asking, "What's missing?"
"Gun." Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng looked back at him and said, "Corpse collectors are not allowed to carry guns."
"Why." Qiu Shi said.
"Except for the army in the outer city, even the people in the company don't have guns. That's the rule." Li Feng said.
Qiu Shi said nothing.
Li Feng stood still and turned around: "Use the few you have on hand if you can. I'll pretend not to know and you just know a little bit and don't push yourself too far."
Qiu Shi smiled and leaned on the shelf next to him without saying anything.
"What's missing?" Li Feng asked again.
"Bullets." Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng almost couldn't control his expression, his eyebrows twitched several times because of anger: "They all say that the corpse collectors should be reorganized. I think this is correct."
"So this is Captain Xiao's job, right?" Qiu Shi asked, "I said I wanted to check, but I didn't leave the bunker all day, so I just stared at my people and thought about it."
"Where is what I want?" Li Feng did not answer his question directly.
"I didn't bring it with me," Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng's face darkened, and his originally gentle eyes suddenly became thorny: "Qiu Shi, you have to figure out why you can stand here with me..."
"Look at this." Qiu Shi took out a memory and threw it on the nearby cargo box.
Li Feng stared at him for a while, then reached for the memory and put it into the portable reading device.
The video picture projected on the cargo box was very unclear, but the segment Qiu Shi gave him was enlarged and intercepted by the old man from the video. Although it was blurry, Li Feng's reaction proved that he could still tell what it was at a glance. .
"Is he a latent guard?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Where did it come from?" Li Feng asked.
"It was captured in the later video," Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng looked at the next video again.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li Datou, I'm fine..."
The moment Li Datou's face appeared in the video, Qiu Shi saw Li Feng suddenly startled, and then his brows furrowed.
"Do you know each other?" Qiu Shi smiled.
"This Li... Big Head," Li Feng turned off the video and put the memory away, "In his hand..."
"I have already cleared his hand," Qiu Shi said, "Now there are only two copies, one for each of us."
"Do you want a gun?" Li Feng asked.
"Originally I just wanted a gun," Qiu Shi said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "but I suddenly discovered that this Li Datou should have some background. You should be able to do a lot with this, so..."
He handed the paper over: "Now I have changed my mind, I still want these."
"Changed your mind?" Li Feng glared at him, "Didn't you write this a long time ago?"
"That's true," Qiu Shi said, "but I never thought I would have a chance to use it."
Li Feng took the paper and looked at it: "Mobile phone? What mobile phone?"
"Just that kind, the old one," Qiu Shi gestured, "the kind that's like a square."
"What do you want that for?" Li Feng said, "You can't do anything with that thing."
"Have fun," Qiu Shi said, "You can also take photos and videos."
"Is this considered corpse collection equipment?" Li Feng said.
"The things I gave you can only be exchanged for corpse collection equipment?" Qiu Shi asked, "Have I ever scolded you in person for being evil?"
"Yes." Li Feng put the note into his pocket, "There are a lot of things. I will have someone deliver them out at night, and you can ask someone to pick them up at the entrance of the tunnel."
"Yeah." Qiu Shi nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Qiu Shi." Li Feng stopped him.
Qiu Shi stopped.
"You are not as powerful as you think..." Li Feng threw a pack of cigarettes to him, "You are not as powerful as you think."
"Oh." Qiu Shi responded.
The playback equipment in the conference room was very clear. The fleeting sneak guard and "Hello everyone, I am Li Datou" appeared repeatedly on the screen.
The three people in the room looked at the screen in silence.
When Li Datou said "Hello everyone" for the twenty-seventh time, Director Zhang of the City Defense Department turned off the video with a gloomy look, ending the cycle of brainwashing.
"What if Sihai directly posted the video," Li Feng frowned, with a worried look on his face, "It would be very troublesome..."
"Did you cut off the source of the video?" Director Zhang interrupted him rudely.
"Which source?" Li Feng was very calm.
"Nonsense!" Director Zhang suppressed his voice, "Did you pinch Zhang Sihai?"
"There's no need to pinch Qiu Shi, he won't tell anyone." Li Feng glanced at the man who had been sitting silently in the corner of the conference room. "He will be of great use."
This person is Director Wu of the Historical Exhibition Hall.
The exhibition hall preserves various objects and documents related to the history of Yuncheng for everyone to visit and study.
Of course, this is a superficial function. If it were just these, Director Wu would not be sitting here.
"Old Wu, what do you think?" Director Zhang turned to look at him.
"I still have my initial opinion," Director Wu said, "This matter cannot be solved by a submarine at that level. If we delay any longer, more accidents will only happen. It was Li Feng who stopped us this time, otherwise you, Director It may not be saved.”
"The problem in the forest is very serious," Li Feng said. "Now we are pulling people to block it in the name of repairing the damage to the 'jungle'. When those in the outer city find out that none of the people who came in have gone back, it will be difficult to handle."
Director Zhang glanced at Li Feng and said nothing.
"Substitute someone." Director Wu said.
"Xing Bi?" Li Feng asked.
When the name was spoken, Director Zhang and Director Wu glanced at him at the same time. Although the three of them knew in their hearts that they were talking about Xing Bi, when they actually said it, even Li Feng himself hesitated.
"There is no guarantee that he is 100% controllable, and the general will not approve it," Director Zhang said.
"He must be 100% controllable," Li Feng said.
Curator Wu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, as if thinking, and finally raised his head: "It will take at least 24 hours."
"Can we take a tour?" Director Zhang glanced at Li Feng, "I need to make sure."
Li Feng understood what he meant, so he followed suit: "Second."
"I want to ask for permission." Director Wu said.
Perhaps because of the urgency of the matter this time, the company and the general approved their request three hours later.
This is the second time Li Feng has come here since joining the Security Department. The last time he came here was as the assistant to the director of the Security Department.
Historical exhibition hall, heavy weapons storage.
The teleportation cabin kept going downwards, making constant creaking sounds and shaking slightly.
He was not willing to come here unless necessary. This place made him feel very uncomfortable, suffocating and depressing. Staying there for a few hours would make it difficult to tell the difference between morning and night.
Li Feng leaned against the bulkhead: "Director Wu, you can apply for maintenance of the teleportation cabin with the Security Administration, and it will be approved in two hours."
"Huh?" Director Wu looked at him.
"Let's fix this thing," Li Feng said. "It's not worth it for one guy to kill three important people."
"When it comes to security issues," Director Wu said, "we can't just repair it casually."
Security issues.
It is estimated that during the sinking process, there were other confidential spaces outside the bulkhead.
"I'll write a last word." Li Feng took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it and found that it was the list Qiu Shi had given him before. He clicked his tongue and put it back in his pocket.
"We're here. Let's write some more before we return." Director Wu said.
Stepping out of the teleportation cabin, there is a tunnel. It is different from the tunnels that can be seen everywhere in Cloud City. Although this tunnel has not been smoothed, it has been reinforced with special materials. The whole space has a metallic luster. In addition, three tunnels need to be on-site. The thick protective door can only be opened with authorization. Whatever is closed here seems to be locked in hell.
The inside of the protective door is spacious, with a laboratory style. There are two rows of rooms in a corridor on the side, and the controllable submarines "living" in them are the ones captured in Zhang Sihai's video.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Datou..."
Li Feng quickly shook his head.
In the glass cover like a booth in the middle of the laboratory is the submarine that must be 100% controllable within 24 hours.
There was no physical restraint, and the man was sitting on the chair in the middle, upright yet relaxed, with his head lowered as if he was asleep.
"He can't see us. The glass is one-sided." Director Wu walked to the console, knocked on the microphone, and said hello to the person inside, "Xing Bi."
Xing Bi had no reaction.
After waiting for a while, Director Wu approached the microphone and was about to speak again, when Xing Bi suddenly moved and slowly raised his head.
Although the glass was one-sided, when he raised his head, his eyes were still looking exactly in the direction of the three of them.
Such "looking at each other" made Li Feng instantly feel uncomfortable and have a strong sense of oppression. He moved to the side and stood behind Director Zhang.
"Good evening, everyone." Xing Bi said.
There was no murderous intent in the slightly hoarse voice.
