Qiu Shi parked the car next to the rocks under the tunnel. If Li Feng really delivered the goods according to his list, he would need this car. Although the car jingled and swayed every step of the way, it was still very powerful. It was a high-powered truck that they used to haul corpses.
However, this car can run on flat ground, but it is absolutely impossible to drive to the entrance of the tunnel. Only transport vehicles from the inner city can do it, such as the one that will deliver goods to him later, but they will not get out.
He had to move it up and down by himself.
Originally, he could just call someone to come over for this kind of thing, but his dealings with Li Feng were not all for "work". There were also many private transactions, and no one knew which ones would be thunderous.
The sound of an engine came from the tunnel, and the delivery vehicle arrived.
Qiu Shi started walking up. There were refugees coming today, and the traces of people running up and down on the gravel road were still there. He walked quite easily on this path. There was a slightly larger rock every few steps, which Zhao Lv and the others had specially cleared. If he stepped on the first rock correctly, he could pedal all the way up.
At normal speed, he could see the car exiting the tunnel when he was halfway there, but this time he was almost at the top and the car didn't come out.
As he speeded up to see what was going on, the sound of the engine in the tunnel suddenly stopped.
He actually didn't even plan to leave the tunnel.
Qiu Shi immediately became a little angry. The people from the Security Bureau were so arrogant about delivering goods.
After hesitating for two seconds, he accelerated and rushed forward. Sure enough, he saw that the delivery vehicle was parked near the exit of the tunnel and had turned off.
The Security Department's car was protected at the front, rear, left, right and top. Except for a vague figure, nothing else could be seen from the outside.
After a confrontation between one person and one car for a while, he could only ask: "Which bastard is it?"
The door opened, but no one got out.
Qiu Shi didn't say anything anymore, walked over quickly and kicked the car door back.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
He was about to walk back to get the goods, but he stopped as soon as he took a step.
When he turned around, he already held the dagger inserted in the side of his leg in his hand, and the car window was open.
From the rearview mirror, he could see that there was no one in the cab. All he saw was a coat hanging on the backrest.
Qiu Shi didn't hesitate. He quickly leaned down and took a look at the bottom of the car. Then when he stood up, he jumped up and climbed onto the roof of the car.
The roof of the car looks normal, no one is around, there is no dust, and it is well maintained.
He half-knelt on the roof of the car and listened, but didn't hear anything unusual. He slowly got up and walked around on the roof of the car, but saw no one.
The driver is missing.
He looked across the tunnel and saw no one.
In the time between when the car stalled and now, an ordinary driver at the Security Administration Warehouse would not be able to run out of the tunnel from the other end even if someone points a gun at him.
The disappearance actually happened to him personally.
The walkie-talkie on his waist rang twice, and Zhao Lu's voice came out: "Brother Shi, something happened in Dayan."
Dayan is the name of the tavern they often go to. The owner gives various preferential treatment to the corpse collector. In addition to wanting to be cremated after death, it is just so that they can go there and help when refugees make trouble.
But now the driver is missing, and it only takes less than ten minutes to walk from the Big Rock Tavern...
"I'm in the tunnel, you and Xiaoling come here." Qiu Shi jumped from the roof to the back of the car, raised his elbow and hit the lock of the car. The metal elbow pad and the lock made a crisp sound, and the lock fell to the ground. .
"What's your situation?" Zhao Lu asked.
"Get the goods," Qiu Shi opened the door of the carriage and jumped back suddenly. After making sure that there was nothing abnormal inside, he jumped into the back compartment. "The others stayed, in pairs, with guns, to check the bunker and the city." There is an abnormality within the 500-meter range outside. Two more people will come and take away the goods in the tunnel."
"I know." Zhao Lu replied.
Qiu Shi quickly dug out the weapon box from the pile of goods and took out a stun gun.
At the bottom of the box was the gun he wanted, but he didn't know the situation at the tavern. He couldn't go to the scene with the weapon Li Feng gave him in violation of regulations.
After locking the box and throwing it away from the car, Qiu Shi jumped into the cab, turned the car around, and drove towards the pub.
The lights in the tavern were on, but someone could be seen lying on the ground at the door from a distance.
Qiu Shi jumped out of the car and saw clearly that the man was a young man working in a tavern. Based on his experience, he could tell at a glance that the young man was dead.
When I looked in through the window, I saw seven people lying around in the room, including the boss lying outside the bar.
Qiu Shi took a breath, calmed down and listened, and rushed in after confirming that it was completely silent.
There is no one left alive.
All dead.
Qiu Shi reached out and touched the boss's body, but it was still warm.
He didn't have time to check the cause of death. The thing that killed these people should still be there, and it was probably upstairs.
But the old man upstairs didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Zhao Lu, Xiaoling, don't come to Dayan, let Xiao Lei go find Li Feng," Qiu Shi said while taking the walkie-talkie, took out his little pet, and gave the instruction, "Open the source, follow and film from a distance."
Then he threw the little pet out of the window with a raised hand and quickly went up to the second floor with a stun gun.
The second floor was equally quiet, but the corpse collector's years of experience outside the city still made him feel the danger. If it were someone else, he might not go inside again.
But the old man happened to be someone else.
He turned into the room on the second floor.
The old man is still there and alive.
But he was grabbed by his feet off the ground and held in the air, unable to make any sound.
The person holding him was dressed in black, and his face was hidden in the darkness, but this was obviously not the usual infected people they occasionally encountered.
The infected have no such power.
When he saw him coming in, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were filled with "Get out of here, you idiot."
"Let him go." Qiu Shi pointed the gun at the man, but without giving the man time to think, he fired directly as he spoke.
Blue electricity hit the man's neck.
There didn't seem to be any damage done.
There are two possibilities. Li Feng deceived him with a fake, and the other person was not a human being.
The old man's eyes widened again.
Qiu Shi lowered his body suddenly and dodged the arm that swept from behind. The dagger in his hand went back and pierced into the thigh of an unknown person behind him.
But the owner of the thigh showed no reaction.
Sure enough, it's not a human being.
Qiu Shi felt a huge pain in his back, and his whole body was pulled into the air and knocked out of the skylight on the second floor.
Li Feng leaned on the chair, his legs resting on an unknown instrument on the table, and looked at Director Zhang: "There is no time to waste any more time. It only takes ten minutes. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to catch up."
"Don't be too crazy," Director Zhang said with a cold face, "I can agree that it is outrageous for you to send two third-level sneak guards out to look for him! The Security Administration can take care of the internal affairs, and you'd better not do anything about external defense. Express your opinion."
Li Feng looked much calmer than Director Zhang. Only the tapping of his fingers on his arm revealed a little bit of his inner feelings. He continued to express his opinions unhurriedly: "There is no need, and there is no need to waste two Level 3s." , Qiu Shi gave an accurate location, just need to..."
He turned his head and glanced at the glass cover: "Send Xing Bi to the place, let him out, find the person, and bring him back. That's it. It's almost like putting an elephant in the refrigerator."
Director Zhang turned to Director Wu: "Old Wu?"
"I have nothing to say," Director Wu said, "I am only responsible for technology."
"Okay, you two are on the same side," Director Zhang walked to the table and pushed Li Feng's legs away, "This is impossible."
"Qiu Shi is not a fool. He also has a video backup in his hand. No one knows where he put it." Li Feng stood up, nose to nose with Director Zhang, and said word by word, "The front foot came to find me. If something goes wrong on the back foot, the people holding the backup will blame it on us."
Director Zhang said nothing.
"Everyone knows what the consequences of this video's exposure will be," Li Feng said. "I won't say what will happen to your son, nor what will happen to you as the director. I will just say that Yun Yun's principle is not to allow biochemical entities to exist. Not only can the city not guarantee human safety, it even has hidden guards. Do you think those radicals are looking forward to such an opportunity?"
"The existence of potential guards is also for the safety of this city." Director Zhang said.
"Is it still important?" Li Feng said, "People thought so in the beginning, but what about now? What people here want is a world without biochemical bodies, a world with only humans. No matter what your reasons are, It is no longer important. What is important is that people are easily incited. Once they find that this is not the paradise they want, once someone stirs up trouble, once the situation is out of control..."
"What do you want to say?" Director Zhang stared at him.
"You were the first person the general killed," Li Feng said. "You are the sinner."
"Li Feng is really good at criticizing people," Director Zhang was silent for a long time and sighed, "He is indeed the youngest director in the history of Yuncheng."
"It's nothing," Li Feng fell back in his chair, "It's all potential that was forced out."
"If we let Xing Bi go out to look for someone now, what difference does it make to what you said?" Director Zhang had leaned slightly towards the door. There was a confidential hotline outside the door, but his words did not change.
"Xing Bi will not be seen, let alone photographed," Li Feng replied simply, "speed and accuracy are the difference."
Director Zhang said nothing and walked out of the door.
"If anything goes wrong in this matter, the three of us will be dead together." Director Wu said.
"So the pressure is on you now," Li Feng said. "You can't make any mistakes. I guarantee that within an hour he will be just a thoughtless tool, a tool to bring back Qiu Shi."
"Lao Zhang and I are both under great pressure," Curator Wu stood up, "It's you, are you under any pressure?"
"I don't," Li Feng said. "I will have you two with me even to death. What pressure do I have?"
Curator Wu smiled and shook his head, picking up the phone at hand: "Come here as a group, the confidentiality level is red."
"Why don't you wait and see if the general will approve it?" Li Feng asked.
"Lao Zhang has been forced by you to have no way out," Director Wu said. "He must get the general's approval."
Li Feng smiled and said no more. When Director Wu was getting ready, he looked down at his hands, which were shaking badly.
He took a breath, closed his eyes and let it out slowly, stood up and walked slowly to the glass cover.
Xing Bi, who was sitting on the chair inside, still had his head lowered. He had been here for several hours. Xing Bi had been in this state since he greeted them.
Li Feng felt that if this was him, he had been locked up here under control for who knows how many years. Once he came out, the first thing he would do would be to kill everyone here, and he would never let anyone be 100% controllable.
But this is what he thinks as a human being, and Xing Bi is not a human being.
Then why is it so uncontrollable?
Xing Bi, who had kept his head down, slowly raised his head, his eyes still looking in the direction of Li Feng.
"Old Wu," Li Feng looked into Xing Bi's eyes. To be honest, it was completely different from the strong oppression he felt. Xing Bi didn't have murderous intent from his eyes to his tone. "Can he hear us?"
"No," Director Wu said, "I can't hear the sound and can't see outside."
"Really?" Li Feng asked.
"The latent guards are biochemical bodies, not aliens, and have no special powers." Director Wu said, "Don't forget, they were first created by humans."
"Then how did he know it was night," Li Feng said, "and how did he know you weren't the only one outside?"
"They have a precise judgment of time. If he is imprisoned for another hundred years, he will still be able to tell the difference between morning and evening. He can even know what time it is now," Director Wu said. "As for knowing that there is more than one of us, I can only say You underestimate his intelligence."
A submarine guard who can clearly know how long he has been imprisoned here, and can accurately know the time... Only a submarine guard can endure such pain.
"I'm going to deal with the matter at the tavern," Li Feng turned around, "The body collector is still waiting for news from me. If I don't comfort him for a while, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
"Yeah." Director Wu nodded, "Um...Qiu Shi."
"Huh?" Li Feng looked at him.
"As long as he doesn't die, right?" Director Wu asked, "If we go as fast as possible, we may not be able to guarantee that he won't be injured."
Qiu Shi was very smart. Xiao Chong opened up the source of the information. From the tracking footage he obtained, it can be seen that the third-level biochemical body cannot kill Qiu Shi instantly, and Qiu Shi can even fight back.
"As long as he doesn't die," Li Feng said, "He can handle it very well."
"Just tell me," Zhao Lu, who had seven or eight guns hanging on his legs and waist, was standing in front of him like a gun dealer, "Qiu Shi, right now, at this moment when I'm talking to you, is he still alive? "
"Alive," Li Feng looked around and realized that he was right to meet here in the Abandoned Corpse Cave. With Zhao Lu's indifferent attitude, he added, "His little pet has been following him and has life detection. .”
"We..." Zhao Lu touched the gun.
"No need," Li Feng immediately pointed at his hand holding the gun, "Don't make any moves, don't go anywhere, just here. I said I would get him back and I will do it. Don't cause any trouble for me."
"Okay," Zhao Lu said through gritted teeth, "I'll come here in person for such a big official like you."
"Telling Xiao Lei was about Dayan Tavern," Li Feng said, "Qiu Shi was taken away for investigation."
"knew."
Once threatened, people's actions will become very efficient. I don't know what method Director Zhang used to get the general to approve Xing Bi's temporary activation within fifteen minutes.
Director Wu used the most direct method to seal off all Xing Bi's memories from an hour ago, and enforced the only instruction to track and bring back the target Qiu Shi within 40 minutes. Just ensure that the target had vital signs, and the mission failed. You must also return within forty minutes.
This crude method will at least damage the submarines below the second level, and the self-awareness of the biochemical body can also break through the closed shackles, and the control plan for Xing Bi has not yet been completed, so no matter whether it is successful or not, if He did not return within the stipulated time for any reason...
The time is accurate to the minute.
When Li Feng arrived at the starting point, people from the City Defense Department had already completed the blockade work. It looked like a normal focused security inspection operation.
Under normal circumstances, no one would come here. Refugees cannot come here, and residents from outer cities will not come here.
Qiu Shi's signal was in the dense forest east of the tunnel. Because the biochemical body that took him away was not of a high level, the dense Cloud City defense system in the forest could greatly slow down the speed.
However, in order to prevent the little pet from being discovered, Qiu Shi set up long-distance follow-up. The little pet could no longer take pictures of him and the biochemical body in the dense forest.
A large black truck without any markings was surrounded by three City Defense Department vehicles. The door opened, and Li Feng saw various shining equipment arranged inside, as well as Xing Bi, who was wearing a City Defense Department uniform.
After leaving the isolation cover and changing his clothes, Xing Bi was still in a state of being inside the cover, seemingly unaware of all the movements around him.
"Determine the task content." A laboratory worker stood in front of him.
"Bring the target back within forty minutes and ensure vital signs," Xing Bi said. "If the mission fails, return within forty minutes."
"Check the target location." Director Wu said on the side.
The staff member looked at the coordinates on Xing Bi's wrist: "Very correct."
Director Wu turned his head and glanced at Director Zhang who was sitting in the car next to him.
"Let's go." Director Zhang looked gloomy.
"Set off."
Xing Bi got out of the car. When everyone was waiting for him to set off, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
Li Feng quickly looked at Director Wu. Director Wu was obviously not sure whether this was a normal reaction. He just looked at him with zero information.
But before they could think any more, Xing Bi had already jumped off the rock wall, drew an arc in the air, and disappeared into the dense forest without making any sound.
When Qiu Shi woke up, he found that he was stuffed in a box. The word "stuffed" was not an exaggeration at all. If he was two centimeters taller, the box would not be able to fit him.
They were in a ball, unable to move anywhere except their facial features.
The person who took him away was a biochemical body. He was not sure whether he was a hidden bodyguard or not, because to be honest, the opponent's combat power was not too strong. Other than that, he could no longer guess anything.
He didn't even dare to guess whether Li Feng would come to save him after receiving the news.
The only thing I can do now is listen to the movement outside and count the time.
But no one spoke outside. Apart from knowing that he should be in a dense forest, knowing that the person dragging him encountered two defensive attacks, and knowing that the box bumped against rocks and mud alternately, he could not count the time. He was dizzy. Dizziness, difficulty breathing.
But not long after, the person dragging the box suddenly let go.
Then there were two dull sounds of something hitting a tree.
somebody is coming.
Li Feng still behaved like a human being!
"Open the box!" Qiu Shi roared.
In order to ensure that the sound could reach outside the box and be heard, he took a deep breath and was about to roar again, but the box was suddenly opened. Qiu Shi even saw the lock on the outside of the box being pulled off and flying.
Then a hand passed by his eyes and pressed on the side of his neck.
"Alive!" Qiu Shi struggled and rolled out of the box. He took out the knife hidden in his boots and then glanced back.
A man about the same height as him was facing away from him, wearing a white uniform of the City Defense Department.
Unarmed.
Are you here to die?
Li Feng's enemy.
Qiu Shi didn't know where the injury was on his back. The pain was severe now, but he still jumped up and prepared to try to fight with this man.
But when he saw that there were five biochemical bodies in black clothes around him, he changed his mind.
"Fuck you," he turned around and ran away, "Run!"
A man in black rushed over and blocked him.
Without thinking, Qiu Shi used his inertia to jump up and kicked the man.
But a white shadow had already circled behind the man in black at the same time, and struck the man in black on the back of his neck with a palm.
The man in black seemed to be picked up by something, and flew towards Qiu Shi's legs, and then collided with him.
The impact was so powerful that it was beyond Qiu Shi's imagination that he was knocked back to the ground by the man in black.
As he fell hard, Qiu Shi felt a pain in his chest, and he even heard a click.
His ribs seemed broken.
This damn... what kind of strength.
When he turned his head in pain, he saw two men in black lying not far away. They were as motionless as the one on him.
Qiu Shi realized that this must be the person who hit the tree twice at the beginning.
One move at a time.
This person is not from the City Defense Department.
This is a sneaker.
There really are hidden guards in Yuncheng.
He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his chest and back, and lifted the man in black from his body, trying to get a clear look at the hidden guard.
Just as he was halfway up, another man in black flew over and bumped into him.
"I..." Qiu Shi felt that his eyes were going dark and he could hardly keep up with his breathing.
"Don't run," the man said.
"Your name..." Qiu Shi felt himself burning with anger. It was the first time he knew that someone would use this method to prevent others from escaping. "Do you have a name?"
"Xing Bi." Xing Bi had finished the fight now, walked in front of him, and used his toes to push away the person pressing on him.
"Xing Bi," Qiu Shi repeated, closed his eyes, took a breath, gritted his teeth and cursed, "Fuck | your ancestors."
Xing Bi had no reaction to these words, and his expression did not change at all. He just stepped on the back of the neck of the biochemical body next to him, and Qiu Shi heard the sound of something breaking.
Then Xing Bi bent down and pinched his wrist, while pressing the side of his neck again.
"Not dead!" Qiu Shi became impatient. He ignored the severe pain in his chest and raised his hand to press on the side of Xing Bi's neck.
...no pulse.
That's nature, where does the biochemical body's pulse come from?
Xing Bi looked at him.
Qiu Shi withdrew his hand and lay flat. Only then did he realize that his chest and back hurt so much that he could hardly breathe: "How to leave? I could have left, but you ruined it for me."
Xing Bi turned his head and glanced at the previous box.
"That's impossible." Qiu Shi said.
Before he could speak again, Xing Bi had already grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up from the ground.
Qiu Shi couldn't even curse another word before he fainted from the pain.
