"If you do something like this again next time," Director Zhang pressed his face to Li Feng's face and shouted angrily, "You'd better tell me in advance so that I can put you in the dungeon!"
Li Feng stepped back, feeling that Director Zhang would bite his nose off in the next second out of shock and anger.
He looked at Director Wu who was giving the final explanation over there, and whispered: "Director Zhang, who am I for? If we delay for another week and do this again, maybe the inner city will be invaded by then. If someone takes advantage of the chaos and posts the video, everyone will find out that the company and the military have known about it for a long time, but they have been hiding it from the public, putting the safety of civilians at risk..."
"Are you threatening me?" Director Zhang looked at him.
"How dare I." Li Feng said.
"You are really..." Director Zhang said in a low voice, "very scary."
Li Feng did not answer. Seeing that Director Wu must have finished his final statement and was looking over here, he immediately tilted his head: "Director Wu, how are you?"
"That's basically it," Director Wu said. "I personally think this exhibition is quite successful."
"The results of this display are quite satisfactory. The entire video will be submitted to the general and Mr. Long." The person from the company nodded and looked at the military representative.
"The specific general will give further instructions." The man said.
"The situation is very urgent," Director Zhang added at this time, "It is best to conduct the trial execution of the first mission today. The training of the cooperation team arranged by the general has been completed."
"Well, these generals know it well," the man nodded and glanced at Li Feng, "Director Li."
"Although my original intention for today's violation was that I was too worried about the safety of Yuncheng," Li Feng said sincerely, "but the method I adopted was still thoughtless. I am willing to accept any form of punishment after the mission is over."
The man didn't speak any more. He just patted Li Feng twice on the shoulder, turned around and walked out: "There's no need to send him off. You continue to make preparations."
Director Zhang followed a few people out.
"Tell me what you want," Curator Wu waved to the people in the experimental team, "Do the final feedback reception and debugging to ensure that the communication is not interfered with at all."
Li Feng looked at Xing Bi in the hood and walked to the console: "Which switch is dialogue?"
"What are you doing?" Director Wu asked.
"I still have something to ask him." Li Feng said.
"You still dare to ask?" Director Wu looked at him, "You can't find anyone to chat with?"
"The important thing," Li Feng said, "is just one question."
"Ask me first," Director Wu said, "I might be able to answer you."
Li Feng ignored Director Wu and didn't ask him to turn on the call switch. Xing Bi could see outside now, but couldn't hear the sound.
"Do you know why you must bring Qiu Shi back?" Li Feng turned to look at Xing Bi and asked.
Xing Bi looked at him and said two words. It was easy to tell what they were by looking at the shape of his mouth.
"Know."
Curator Wu turned on the call switch and asked again: "What do you know?"
"He is a kite flyer." Xing Bi said.
Director Wu was silent for a long time.
Although no one will mention that oath once, it is not unfamiliar to them "managers", but this sentence really makes people silent.
This was the private name that the submariners used to call their human partners.
"When you injured Qiu Shi," Li Feng asked the sharpest and most dangerous question, "Are you trying to refuse the mission?"
The answer to this question actually represents whether Xing Bi is really controllable.
"That's not me." Xing Bi said.
This simple answer is reasonable and thoughtful enough.
Although Li Feng still had doubts, the submarine sent out that day could not be said to be Xing Bi. In theory, it was just a machine with all thoughts forcibly sealed.
"Xing Bi, because Qiu Shi was injured, it will take at least half a month to recover." Director Wu looked at Xing Bi, "So there is no kite flyer this time. The people who will cooperate with you are the general's people. I need you." reconfirm……"
"I will try my best to complete the task while ensuring their safety." Xing Bi said.
"Premise." Director Wu emphasized.
"My own safety." Xing Bi said.
"Okay." Director Wu nodded and turned off the switch.
The password is Li Feng's work number 103, a simple three numbers.
When the box was opened, the crowd huddled in the bunker let out a collective exclamation, followed by wild shouts and laughter.
"Isn't this a dream? Someone hit me!" Hu Xiaoling roared, "Quick! Brother Shi! Open those ones too!"
All four boxes were opened, and the bunker outside the city was filled with joy, a volume that had never been heard before.
The boxes were full of weapons, including ordinary ones and models that they would never dare to think of. Some of them had military stamps on them.
"This is not even at the level of the City Defense Department," Brig. Zhao said with uncontrollable excitement, "This is for the military."
"Yeah." Qiu Shi responded. Looking at the excited brothers around him, helplessness wrapped around him little by little.
These weapons, which are considered luxurious for corpse collectors, mean that what they will face next is no longer the refugees and corpses of the past, nor the occasional infected people.
"Brother Shi, why did they give us these weapons?" Someone finally thought of this key question in ecstasy.
"The defense outside the city has been upgraded," Qiu Shi sat leaning against the wall. "The number of infected people has increased recently, and there are also suspicious intruders. There may be... sudden emergencies. Our patrol missions are more frequent than before. The level of danger has also increased.”
"Is there really a biochemical invasion?" Someone asked, "If there are only infected people, no matter how many people are infected, they won't be able to use weapons of this level."
"It's just a rumor, there is no official confirmation," Qiu Shi said, "If... we really encounter it, hit the neck. The back of the neck is the center. If you can't kill it, the movement of the biochemical body will be restricted."
"Where did you know that?" Hu Xiaoling asked with admiration.
"Historical Exhibition Hall," Qiu Shi stood up, "Zhao Lu Xiaoling, take everyone to divide the weapons and carry them with you. The two people who go out on duty will take the hard goods with steel seals in pairs, and then go around the bunker. Set up an ambush point, and also arrange time to go to the corpse cave to familiarize yourself with the weapons."
"Okay, leave it to us." Zhao Lu nodded.
"What about me?" Xiao Lei couldn't help but ask.
There was uncontrollable laughter in the room.
"Come." Qiu Shi walked out of the weapons bunker and returned to his "ward."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lei followed.
"Sit." Qiu Shi lay back on the hospital bed and put his hand into the sleeve of a device next to him. When he took it out a few seconds later, the needle had already been inserted. He also had two bottles of some unknown liquid. lose.
The injuries on his body have healed a lot today. He was a little surprised by the speed. He only knew that hospitals in the inner city could cure many diseases, but he didn't expect them to be so good.
"Why did you call me here?" Xiao Lei sat next to him and waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask when he closed his eyes and was about to sleep.
"What else do you want?" Qiu Shi turned to look at him, "Do you want to take a gun and go out for a walk? Or do you want to take over Zhao Brigade's command of the gang? How about you collect the corpses? Then we can go Collect your body? Is there anything you can do here?"
Xiao Lei lost his voice.
"They may take you back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Qiu Shi closed his eyes, "Just stay in the house. After all, you are a wealthy man in the inner city. I can't bear the responsibility of dying here."
"Something big is going to happen." Xiao Lei said.
"I don't know." Qiu Shi said.
When the military vehicle drove out of the tunnel early in the morning, Qiu Shi was still sleeping.
"Brother Shi!" Zhao Lu kicked open the door of the "ward".
Qiu Shi sighed without opening his eyes.
Xiao Lei, who was dozing next to him, was so frightened that he almost jumped to the roof. He pulled out a knife from his waist and slashed at the door.
"What disease!" Zhao Lu cursed, "What are you doing here!"
"...It scared me to death," Xiao Lei said, "I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I was sitting here. I thought something had come in."
"If anything can get here, it means we are dead," Zhao Lu said, "I suggest you commit suicide directly."
Xiao Lei sighed and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Brigade ignored him and walked to Qiu Shi's bedside: "Brother Shi, there is a military vehicle coming from the other side of the tunnel, a big black vehicle used to pull people."
Qiu Shi stuffed all the medicines he had to take three times today into his mouth and took them all at once, got up and left the ward.
The cars used by the military to pull people are all black, and they call them big black cars.
The big black car didn't stop when it reached the bottom of the slope, and headed straight up towards the bunker.
"It's hard for me to find you this early in the morning, you're bullshit." Qiu Shi cursed, jumped onto the bunker, pulled off the camouflage net, and started his motorcycle.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the motorcycle rushed down. Qiu Shi put the car across the road that the big black car must pass, put his legs on the ground, lowered his head, lit a cigarette and waited.
The big black car had to stop until it reached his legs. A soldier with a gun jumped out from the passenger seat. He pointed at Qiu Shi with an angry look and yelled: "What are you doing! Get out of the way!"
"What are you doing?" Qiu Shi also got out of the car and looked at him.
"The military is performing its mission and there is no need to explain it to you!" The soldier raised his gun and came over to push him with the gun.
"Fuck the military." Qiu Shi became furious when he heard the word "military." He threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and kicked the man in the stomach.
When the man fell backward, he grabbed his collar and pulled him back. While the man was still covered, Qiu Shi had already snatched the gun from his hand and shot him in the head. To: "You are the only little sergeant!"
Then there were three gun butts in a row: "It's worthy! Follow me! Do it!"
When he let go, the sergeant almost fell down. He held on to the wheel next to him before he regained his balance. Blood flowed from his forehead.
"Brother Shi!" Hu Xiaoling's voice came from the bunker nearby.
Qiu Shi turned around and took a look and found that several soldiers who got off the car formed a half circle and pointed their guns at him.
"Qiu Shi," a man in civilian clothes without a gun came over, "I am the captain of this defense operation, Zhao Yi."
"What does this have to do with you?" Qiu Shi turned around and asked Zhao Lu.
Zhao Lu was stunned when he asked: "My brother?"
"The defense time is twenty days," Zhao Yi continued, "There is no participation from the City Defense Department in this operation. The military is directly under the command. Please cooperate."
"Drive the car down to find a place to hide, and then come over and tell me this," Qiu Shi said. "Are you afraid that others won't be able to discover the bunker location?"
Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, then made a gesture to the car, and everyone in the car got out. At a glance, there were about twenty or thirty people, all of whom were fully armed soldiers.
The big black car slowly retreated down the slope.
"My people will be divided into three groups," Zhao Yi looked at him. "One group will set up defenses here, one group will be on the other side of the tunnel, and one group will conduct mobile patrols."
Qiu Shi looked at him without saying anything.
"Where are your people?" Zhao Yi asked.
"My people are divided into two groups," Qiu Shi said, "one group collects the corpses, and the other group sleeps."
"Please cooperate." Zhao Yi repeated.
"My people will not perform any missions with the military," Qiu Shi said in a calm voice, "I will not participate or assist."
Zhao Yi frowned.
"Listen," Qiu Shi said, "We are not soldiers, we are civilians, and we are civilians who are not protected by Yuncheng. Do you understand?"
"So?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Stay away from the bunker. Don't cause trouble for us. Just do whatever you want." Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng was sitting in the conference room of the laboratory, watching the shaking picture on the screen, which was recorded by Xing Bi's team when he was performing the mission last night.
The mission was successful, and the infected persons and two biochemical entities within the specified range were cleared.
But all six people in the team were infected. After Xing Bi killed the infected, he came back alone.
Li Feng was forced by Director Zhang to sit here and watch the video all morning. They needed to make sure that Xing Bi's behavior was not abnormal and that the death of the six-person team was an unavoidable and normal result.
"The general's phone number," Director Wu walked in and said, "That call button on your hand."
"I'm not here," Li Feng waved his hand, "Just say I didn't come, I..."
"He knows you are not at the Security Bureau," Director Wu said. "He is just asking about the situation, not to incriminate us."
Li Feng sighed, paused the video, rubbed his face, stood up and answered the general's call.
The general's face appeared on the monitor.
"Sit down and talk," the general said. "Be casual."
"Well," Li Feng sat down, took the remote control, and cut out the video screen in the corner of the monitor, "I'm still watching this video."
"I have talked with Lao Wu and Lao Zhang," the general said, "Now I want to hear your opinion."
"Let me talk about the conclusion first," Li Feng said. "I think Xing Bi's behavior is normal. The death of the team members is an inevitable result that can be predicted before the action."
The general sighed and seemed to feel sorry for several team members: "Lao Zhang originally thought that those medicines could withstand it to a certain extent."
"The medicine can only protect against a small amount of contact. Our formula is incomplete and there is too little information before the 'break'..." Li Feng was interrupted by the general before he could finish his words.
"Let Qiu Shi start adapting to training," the general said. "Is three days enough?"
"According to his physical condition..." Li Feng paused and wanted to calculate the time.
"He has been able to beat the heads of the people I sent to help defend him," the general said. "I think there is nothing wrong with his bones."
"I understand," Li Feng said, "I'll pick him up right away."
Qiu Shi was very grateful that the vehicle from the Security Department did not drive to the bunker again. In the past few days, all kinds of large vehicles had almost squeezed out a road from the bottom of the slope to the bunker.
"How long will it take?" Zhao Lu asked.
"No more than a week," Qiu Shi didn't dare to specify the time limit. "During this period, any issues will be decided by you, and the brothers will leave them to you."
"Don't be like confessing your last words," Zhao Lu said. "You went to the ruins and came back ten days ago and never confessed."
That's when I know I can definitely come back.
"Don't do anything with Zhao Yi's gang, and don't take risks for them," Qiu Shi said. "It's not safe. They have no actual combat experience in these years. People from the City Defense Department can still beat up refugees. Then The soldiers don’t even know how to survive outside the city.”
"Yeah." Zhao Lu nodded.
Qiu Shi glanced at Xiao Lei next to him, and Xiao Lei came over expectantly.
"Master Li may have forgotten you here," Qiu Shi looked at him, "But it's okay, if something happens, you are the only person here who can contact Li Feng."
"Well," Xiao Lei responded, "I will take good care of them."
Zhao Lu turned around and looked at him: "How much did you drink?"
The City Defense Department's car stopped under the tunnel. Qiu Shi jumped out from behind Zhao Lu's car and patted him on the shoulder. Zhao Lu turned around and drove away.
The car door opened and Qiu Shi saw Li Feng sitting inside. He sighed and got in the car.
"From now on, the itinerary is top secret," Li Feng looked out the window. "Everything you hear, see, and experience, you will take it to your grave with you."
Qiu Shi said nothing.
"Give me some news." Li Feng said.
"If you don't die well, you will definitely die in my hands." Qiu Shi said.
Li Feng knocked on the panel behind the driver and the car started.
This time, before Qiu Shi could ask, Li Feng continued: "Now I will take you to the exhibition hall to receive three days of training and learn to cooperate with the submarine to perform tasks."
Exhibition hall? train? Hidden guard? Task? Are you still fucking cooperative?
These strings of words were connected together, and Qiu Shi, who had not planned to talk to Li Feng all the way, couldn't help but said, "What the hell is this?"
"Someone will explain it to you in detail when you get there," Li Feng said, "How are the injuries on your body?"
"Don't ask such hypocritical words," Qiu Shi said. "Even if I die in the next second, you will bring this dead person over. Does it make any difference whether he is injured or not?"
Li Feng smiled.
The inner city is still lively, with people coming and going on the roads. In addition to the shops on both sides of the road, the tunnels leading into the mountain are also brightly lit, and the living areas inside look prosperous and peaceful.
As if to show him the life scenes in the inner city, the car drove along the winding mountain road in the inner city to the bottom of the valley, and then drove up the mountainside from the winding mountain road on the opposite side.
After turning another narrow peak, Qiu Shi saw the historical exhibition hall.
Then the car drove directly into the entrance tunnel from the side. An automatic door opened upwards. Inside was a large transport cabin, and the car drove directly in.
They began to descend with people and vehicles.
After getting out of the car, Qiu Shi could see surveillance cameras everywhere, front, back, left and right, which made people feel extremely uneasy.
After a body search, he put on the white uniform of the City Defense Department, followed Li Feng and the staff, and entered a large room that was simply decorated, like a vacant office.
Different from the strict and guarded atmosphere before, there was a table, a sofa, three cabinets side by side, and a camera in the corner, which looked casual and a bit crude.
The man sitting behind the table saw them enter and stood up.
"Director Wu of the exhibition hall is responsible for the technical support of this mission," Li Feng introduced to Qiu Shi, "This mission has a high level of confidentiality, and all you can see are the core members."
"Hello," Director Wu smiled at him and nodded, "Qiu Shi, how are you doing?"
"It's okay." Qiu Shi frowned.
Curator Wu turned sideways and waved his hand towards the sofa behind him: "You have met Xing Bi before, so you don't need me to introduce him specifically, right?"
Qiu Shi was a little surprised when he saw Xing Bishi sitting on the sofa.
Because he has lived outside the city all year round, he has a very keen intuition about the environment he is in, and in at least ten seconds from the time he walked into this room to now, he even noticed that Director Wu took off his shoes and sat behind the table to get up. I quickly put it on when I arrived, but I didn't feel Xing Bi's presence at all.
The man who broke one of his bones and knocked him unconscious twice was sitting on the sofa, but he didn't even see him.
And when Xing Bi's eyes met his, he suddenly felt that this was the same as the person who stuffed him into the box that day, with only one shell.
"The normal procedure should be to meet in the laboratory," Director Wu said bluntly, "But what Director Li means is..."
He glanced at Qiu Shi: "I'm afraid you won't cooperate in the laboratory."
"I don't want to cooperate here," Qiu Shi said, "I was forced."
"Time is limited," Li Feng stood aside with his arms folded, "Director Wu, let's get started."
"Have you seen the situation over there in the woodland?" Director Wu went straight to the point. "That is the reason for the recent increase in infected people. We call it the "nest". Your mission is to clean up the infected and symbiotic organisms. Enter In the center of the nest, find the core source of infection and try to destroy it."
After Director Wu finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Shi, as if waiting for him to digest the content.
"Then can he just go?" Qiu Shi glanced at Xing Bi, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"You want to go too." Li Feng said, "From now on, you are partners."
Qiu Shi frowned and looked at him in silence for a long time before speaking: "Is this mission to be performed one at a time for a human?"
"Of course not." Li Feng smiled.
"Then why can I come back alive?" Qiu Shi said, "The medicine you gave me, I need to take two pills just for close contact. This kind of behavior of running into people's lair and smashing eggs, even one bottle is not enough, right? ?”
"You won't die." Li Feng said.
"Why!" Qiu Shi asked again.
"The medicine I gave you is vitamins." Li Feng said.
Qiu Shi looked at him.
"It's not an anti-infective drug." Li Feng said.
Qiu Shi felt that his hands were shaking a little. He took a breath before suppressing his voice and asked again: "Do you know that I also gave these vitamins to my brothers?"
"Usually you don't let them take action when dealing with infected people," Li Feng said, "You also let them take the gun..."
Qiu Shi didn't let Li Feng finish what he said. He punched Li Feng in the face and said, "Father, you will die."
Before Li Feng could completely fall to the ground, Qiu Shi had already stepped on top of him. Then his body suddenly sank and his knee was pressed into Li Feng's throat.
...But being held up by someone, the strength of this knee was lost, and his legs were a little painful from stretching.
He didn't need to look back to know who had stopped him. Director Wu was still standing there without reacting.
It can only be Xing Bi.
"Let go!" He shook his arm.
Xing Bi let go of his hand.
Curator Wu came to his senses at this moment, went over to help Li Feng up from the ground, and handed him a tissue.
"Xing Bi," Li Feng didn't seem to mind Qiu Shi's punch at all and asked while wiping the blood pouring out of his nose, "Feedback question, why didn't you stop him with the first punch?"
"That punch is not fatal." Xing Bi said.
