One day later, in the conference room of the Puxi military headquarters, everyone had a report in front of them. After reading it, everyone looked solemn.
Overnight, all the supplies in warehouses No. 7 and 8 disappeared! There wasn't even a pair of underwear left.
There was no problem with the security system, and there were no loopholes in the monitoring system. None of the personnel responsible for guarding at the time knew what was going on.
"Could it be haunted!?"
The general sitting at the head of the conference table was about sixty years old. When darkness fell, he was temporarily transferred from the north to take charge. Because he had worked in the military region, many of them were his old subordinates and even close confidants, so his authority and authority were even Overshadowing Commander Chen, at this time, his eyes were sternly scanning the generals and government officials, and he said in a deep voice.
"Commander, it's not a ghost. There must be someone behind the scenes." Deputy Commander Yao, who was sitting on the right hand side of the Commander, said calmly. He was an administrative official and Song Zihuai's old rival. This matter originally had something to do with him. It's not big, it's a matter of the military, but when the supplies are gone, the trouble he faces becomes bigger. People all over the city are following him to beg for food.
If all those mouths were opened and arranged closely together, even a mountain could be eaten.
"Vice President Chen, who do you think it will be?" The commander-in-chief turned his gaze to the former Commander Chen, his voice softened slightly, as if he was asking for advice.
Chen Zhidong's eyelids twitched, as if he had just woken up from sleep. He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him. He said a little embarrassedly: "Let's listen to the advice of Staff Zhu first."
There was a hint of gloom in the commander-in-chief's eyes, but he said nothing more. He still smiled at Chen Zhidong, and then looked at Zhu Xirui, his tone became serious, but his expression was encouraging: "Since Deputy Chen I always say that, please let’s talk to the staff.”
Zhu Xirui secretly smiled bitterly. Ever since he clearly supported the commander-in-chief, Chen Zhidong had kept a vague distance from him and basically said nothing on important matters. But now, I can only bite the bullet and said calmly: "Other than Chu Yunsheng, there will be no other one. The battle eight days ago is still vivid in my mind. He can take out so much out of thin air." It seems that there must be a way to hide the same materials and do it silently."
As soon as he spoke, a representative of the Fire Tribe nodded and said, "Yes, he can use our tribe's suit. Although we don't know how he did it, according to intelligence, he can indeed activate the function of hiding his body. "
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yao Yue is a fat man wearing glasses. At this moment, he pushed up the delicate eyes on the bridge of his nose and interjected: "In this case, do you have a way to detect it?"
The Fire Tribe representative said indifferently: "You can give it a try."
Then there was some deployment, and the meeting ended.
However, the mysterious theft from the warehouse did not end with the addition of the Fire Tribe.
On the second day, all the supplies in Warehouse No. 3 disappeared, and on the third day, all supplies in Warehouse No. 11 disappeared. On the fifth day, Warehouse No. 13 was discovered halfway through the "move". After more than half of the security personnel were injured or killed, not even the shadow of the other party was found.
On the sixth day, Grain Warehouse No. 5 was looted!
On the seventh day, the military couldn't sit still, and the government couldn't sit still either. The daily meetings became more and more intense. Only Chen Zhidong stood with his eyelids closed, seemingly sleeping.
"If the multipotent protoss cannot solve this problem, there is no need for them to cross the river to attack. They will all starve to death!" A lean government official on the side of Deputy Commander Yao Yue said, almost slapping the table.
these past few days. As warehouses were stolen one after another, supplies suddenly became more scarce than ever before. The various departments that came to beg for food almost tore him into pieces, so he was very excited.
The representatives of the Fire Tribe had stopped talking, and their detection methods had basically failed, but they still looked at the lean official indifferently. A look like looking at a clown.
Faced with the excitement of the crowd, the representative of the Multi-functional Clan finally said: "According to our intelligence, Chu Yunsheng must have used a high-tech rune technology, and the level may be much higher than before. Currently, our most advanced The equipment is only enough to protect the two largest warehouses from being stolen, the others..."
He said helplessly: "I can't think of a way for now. I can only hope that you will strengthen your precautions, form a circle of people, overlap on top of each other, block all the gaps, and densely gather people in every place."
"If that's the case -" Deputy Commander Yao paused and said solemnly: "We can only support it for half a month at most!"
He is the highest administrative officer, and he has the clearest and most authoritative knowledge of the city's material consumption. When he said these words, it was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, causing an explosion and chaos.
"Quiet!" The commander-in-chief slapped the table and said coldly: "No matter what, please hold on to the last warehouse and defend it with heavy troops. As long as you persist for this month, new reinforcements from the Arctic base and the various gods will come one after another to eradicate the enemy. This demon is just around the corner!”
…
On the eighth day, Zhu Xirui’s residence.
"Dad, I heard that Warehouse No. 9 was stolen again?" Zhu Lingdie looked at his extremely tired father and asked carefully.
Zhu Xirui pulled her body out from the sofa and said haggardly: "Lingdie, I want to send your mother and you to the Arctic base in two days."
Zhu Lingdie trembled all over and said in disbelief: "Dad, is it you?"
She had never seen her father so depressed before, and she couldn't help but feel frightened.
Zhu Xirui sighed and said: "When the missile was used, serious differences arose within the military. The multi-functional clan controlled many people. In the end, the missile was launched. Some people were disheartened, not only at the top, but also at the top. This sentiment is also felt among the officers below. Now that warehouses have been stolen one after another, people are even more panicked. Half of the battle has been lost before it is even fought."
Zhu Lingdie's beautiful brows wrinkled slightly, and she said in confusion: "The multi-functional family is like this... Dad, why do you still support them?"
Zhu Xirui glanced at her daughter and said with a wry smile: "You don't think it's the reason why dad and Fang Yuehou are at odds, right? Even if your dad is so stingy, Fang Yuehou won't. He and I just have different ideas. Dad thinks Chu Yun Sheng is a demon, but he thinks it is hope. We are just taking different paths, but the goals are not much different."
Zhu Lingdie's expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "Dad, actually, I have never figured out why you must think that Chu Yunsheng is the devil?"
This question has been lingering in her mind for a long time, and she has been thinking hard about it.
Zhu Xirui looked at his most beloved daughter, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Master Yijing will not make lies out of thin air. I know him very well. He must have seen something."
Zhu Lingdie continued without giving up: "But what Master Yijing said may not be true, and he returned to Qishan after the battle that day, and there is still no news. If Chu Yunsheng is really a demon, he Why don't you care? Wouldn't he rather die than kill Chu Yunsheng?"
Zhu Xirui looked at her daughter with joy, took out a dozen forms from her briefcase, handed them to her and said: "My daughter is indeed dilated. Indeed, even with just a few words from the master, my father will not believe it for sure. You see Looking at these tables, they are all people gathered by Chu Yunsheng and their information. Except for one Song Zihuai, half of Fang Yuehou, how many "good people" are there? From the ghost leader down, there are those who have committed crimes. There are as many as you want, those with brain problems and those who are extremely vicious. I heard that he finally recruited a lecherous guy in the city. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, even Chu Yunsheng may not have noticed it yet."
Zhu Lingdie glanced at the form quickly, but still insisted: "Dad, these alone are not enough to prove that he is a devil?"
Zhu Xirui frowned, feeling that her daughter was a little strange, but she didn’t think much about it. She was silent for a moment and said: "Master Yijing said that he is a person who deserves to die but is not dead. He deduced that Chu Yunsheng’s parents would not only die violently, but also die before he was born. , his mother once had a child die in pregnancy!"
Zhu Lingdie suddenly said with horror: "Why, how could this happen?"
Zhu Xirui shook his head and said: "I didn't believe it at first. After arriving in Shanghai, my father checked the detailed files and information on him and his family, which were exactly the same as what Master Yijing said! But even so, I still didn't believe it, and I once I secretly visited Chu Yunsheng's aunt and got confirmation from her that Chu Yunsheng's parents had indeed lost a child before he was born. He died suddenly when he was eight months old. According to the custom in their hometown, they were worried about the dead baby. Will take away the next child, so even his parents don’t know where the unborn child was eventually buried by the old man, and Chu Yunsheng doesn’t know even more. According to his aunt, Chu Yunsheng’s parents never told Let’s get over him.”
Zhu Lingdie was shocked: "Didn't they tell Chu Yunsheng when they were dying?"
Zhu Xirui looked strange and said: "They died violently. Even if they wanted to, how could they come in time?"
Zhu Lingdie took a breath and said after a while: "Then he is too miserable."
Zhu Xirui said with a gloomy expression: "You don't understand, how miserable this world has been for him in the past, he will make this world as miserable in the future!"
Zhu Lingdie felt frightened in her heart and almost lost consciousness.
Zhu Xirui patted her shoulder, stood up, and consoled her: "That's why dad would rather cooperate with the Duoneng clan. Although they look down on humans and despise life, they need us."
Then, he smiled sadly: "This pitiful need is the value of our existence. At least we can still survive."
Zhu Lingdie raised her head, looked at Zeng Rushan's father, and said with difficulty: "Is there hope?"
Zhu Xirui smiled faintly, and suddenly a strong momentum and pride came from nowhere. His eyes were sharp and he said: "Of course! Lingdie, you have to remember that no matter it is the multi-potent clan, or the ice and fire clan, these races that claim to be superior , can never escape the reality: they can only survive on earth in human form!
No matter how they ignore, suppress, despise us, or treat us as inferior beings, they can't change the fact that even Chu Yunsheng is a human being first and foremost.
So, at least in this land, humans are the biggest! He is the real master and no one can change him! "
