"What are you two talking about?" Haifengqiu asked: "When did dozens of girls get lost in District 2?"
Bai Zhi told what happened that day, and Hong Xing didn't stop talking about what he said later.
"Why not Wang Chengpeng?" Zhang Tianzhao frowned and looked at Bai Zhi, very dissatisfied with Bai Zhi's position. She believed Hong Xing's nonsense that it was not him, and she believed Hong Xing's nonsense that it was not Wang Chengpeng. Why did Bai Zhi believe Hong Xing's nonsense so much?
"I also think this is more likely Wang Chengpeng's doing." Hai Fengqiu also frowned. He felt that Bai Zhi had a problem, and Hong Xingluan had a bigger problem.
Although Bai Zhi thinks Aunt Tao is more suspicious, it does look like Wang Chengpeng did it. Considering Zhang Tianzhao's mood, Bai Zhi decided to shut up.
"It's very problematic that District 2 is hiding so many people after losing so many people. I have to go to District 2 today to find out what Brother Liu is saying. Bai Zhi, take advantage of your free time now and get me something that women and children can use. Please bring the stuff to me in your pocket." Hai Fengqiu took out his pocket from his backpack and handed it to Bai Zhi. Haifengqiu has space, and the waist bag is always placed in the backpack.
They were talking about small talk again. Bai Zhi silently took the bag and entered the gang territory. Brother Liu has a wife and daughter, and he just moved to Residential Area No. 2, so he must be lacking a lot of things. She picked out some daily necessities and packed them with two moisture-proof mats, three sleeping bags, a set of gas cylinder stoves, two bags of rice, several boxes of cans and two boxes of water. She also walked around the vegetable patch and felt that it was almost done. Come out with your fanny pack.
Hai Fengqiu expressionlessly took the bag from his pocket, put it in his backpack without even looking at it, and left directly.
Zhang Tianzhao had already sat in his seat and read a book without even raising his head. Bai Zhi silently took out the material plan that she had not finished yesterday and continued to work on it.
I don't know when the wind stopped, and crystal snowdrops fell on the glass window, rustling one after another.
Bai Zhi looked up accidentally and saw several flocks of birds circling in the gray sky. Each bird was quite big. She thought of the group of mutant birds she met on the way to Shanghai. The pencil in her hand fell to the table, bounced up and rolled towards Zhang Tianzhao. "Senior sister. There are birds."
Zhang Tianzhao looked up and immediately stuffed the book into his backpack and said, "Have a look!" He ran forward for a few steps, stopped and stretched out his hand to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi handed him her hand. Zhang Tianzhao's hands were dry, warm and strong. He held Bai Zhi's hand tightly and led her towards the direction of the birds.
Superhumans gathering on the playground for training. A dozen people ran out from the district office building and dispersed in various directions. Sharp whistles sounded one after another, and the children who were still active on the playground lined up and ran to the nearest underground settlement under the leadership of their teachers.
The first group of birds, with their shrill chirps, rushed towards the convoy transporting grain on the main road 200 meters away. There were more than a hundred birds in total. Zhang Tianzhao threw the ice net while running. Bai Zhi's thunder net is nearly thirty meters in diameter. The last ones hit the ice net first, catching two-thirds of the birds with the rumbling thunder. After a dazzling flash, large clumps of black coal fell with the unpleasant stench of burnt feathers, and the popping sound continued.
Zhang Tianzhao summoned the ice gun and jumped onto the roof of the car. When the ice gun penetrated the body of the half-meter-high mutated bird, the thunderball surged out and attached to the bird's body. He threw the dead bird into the flock, and the thunderball exploded. All the mutated birds within a few meters were turned into charcoal, or part of their bodies was turned into charcoal, and they hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of mist-like snow foam.
Bai Zhi jumped onto the roof of the car with the thunder blade in hand, stood behind Zhang Tianzhao, turned around slightly, pressed his back against his back, and used a group attack. Her attack just now was so powerful that another small group of nearly a hundred birds hovering in the sky locked onto her and swooped down towards her.
Zhang Tianzhao threw the ice net towards the group of mutated birds. Bai Zhi's thunder net collided with it, killing all the birds. The remaining dozens of mutated birds screamed and scattered, scrambling to escape into the sky, and flew into several large flocks of birds hovering in the air.
Another group of mutant birds has launched an attack on an office building a few hundred meters away. Several groups of supernatural beings have passed by. The captain shouted loudly, and the sound of the thunderball exploding was loud.
Zhang Tianzhao looked up at the birds in the sky and said: "There are several carts of grain here, and they are still their target. We will guard here."
"I have modified the note to let them come up." Bai Zhi pressed her head against Zhang Tianzhao's back and said softly: "What will your father-in-law think when he sees the little woman behind you now?"
"You will say that I am the little man behind you." Zhang Tianzhao squinted at the district office building, "As you wish, my mother came out to watch the fun."
While they were talking, several groups of flying birds in the air had already formed into a large flock, slowly circling in the sky above them. The screams from the district office building were heartbreaking, powerful and soul-stirring.
Bai Zhi looked sideways, and saw an unfamiliar girl standing next to Gan Lin who was covering her mouth, using sound waves to attract hatred. Aunt Tao looked up at the mutated birds here with a solemn look on her face.
The birds above them were commotion, and a small group flew over there. "Follow me!" Zhang Tianzhao glanced at the birds above his head and said, "Let's go there."
"You go over here, I'll cause hatred. Here they are." Bai Zhi looked in the other direction. Haifengqiu and Yue Dongting were running here one after the other. Both of them were very fast. Behind the screaming girl is the district office building. Most of the clerks in the office building have not awakened their powers. In the past, they would have carried some of the birds overhead, which was too dangerous.
Zhang Tianzhao breathed heavily and said, "Be careful." He used the Great Qing Gong to fly towards the district office building.
Over there, Hai Fengqiu also used the Great Qing Gong to fly, and his direction was towards Bai Zhi. Yue Dongting was in mid-air, his crossbow pointed at the birds over the district office building.
Bai Zhi threw out the third thunder net to block her head. When the birds hit the thunder net, Haifengqiu's Wudi fell on Bai Zhi's head, and the smoking bird corpse hit Wudi and bounced away. Hai Fengqiu jumped on the roof of the car and stood beside her, using his machete to strike at a large bird with blackened wings, a body nearly one meter long, and a half-beat slower than the forerunner.
Zhang Tianzhao was already standing in front of his mother, wielding a long spear to seal the air. His cousin and Yue Dongting stood side by side, smashing out section after section of the wall of fire, forcing the mutated bird that was pecking at the girl who kept screaming back into the range of Yue Dongting's group attack.
The mutated birds in the sky were afraid of thunder nets and no longer attacked in groups. They divided into small groups of about ten and rushed down one by one. Bai Zhi gave up using thunder nets and, like Haifengqiu, only used weapons to kill these mutated birds. What she is most familiar with is the move that Haifengqiu taught her. It is quick, direct, simple, but violent. Every strike of the sword brought out a long blade.
Gu Tianbai ran out of the office building and when passing by Yue Dongting, he threw out a seven or eight meter long wall of fire to protect Yue Dongting. He strode towards Bai Zhi, but before anyone arrived, two walls of fire had already shot out for dozens of meters. A wall of fire twisted flexibly like a swimming dragon, and the dragon's head hit the mutated bird one after another. Every mutant bird hit turned into a ball of fire. The fiercely burning fireball flew wildly in the air, and finally died. Another wall of fire blocked Bai Zhi's body, and several swooping mutant birds screamed and turned.
After Gu Tianbai climbed onto the roof of the car, Hai Fengqiu moved a step so that the three of them stood in a triangle. Bai Zhi admired the wall of fire chasing birds in the air, "It's so handsome."
Gu Tianbai maneuvered around the wall of fire around Bai Zhi, causing Bai Zhi to switch from melee combat to long-range combat. He was breathing rapidly, but with a smile on his face, he said, "That thunder net of yours is more handsome."
Bai Zhi didn't need to face the mutant bird flying too close. Hai Fengqiu released a huge blade wheel. The shining silver blade whirred and flew into the air, chasing the escaping mutant bird. The two squadrons of the 24th and 24th squadrons left behind today also arrived. Under the command of the captain of the second squadron, they divided into two groups, went to the office building to help, and killed the mutated birds that survived the landing and those that flew low near the grain truck. Superpowers of various types shone in the gray sky, and soon all the mutant birds were killed.
Most people here at the district office building were very surprised. Everyone knows that Hai Fengqiu is very strong, and everyone is not surprised that Zhang Tianzhao is very strong. It is surprising that Yue Dongting's group attack is so powerful, but if they can be partners, their strength should not be much different. What shocked people were the brothers and sisters Gu Tianbai and Gu Baizhi.
Everyone has heard that Angelica dahurica has very powerful superpowers, but most people have not witnessed it with their own eyes, thinking that no matter how powerful Angelica dahurica is, it will not be that powerful. After all, women's overall superpower level is not good enough. No matter how powerful Bai Zhi is, she can only stand out among women. But judging from the battle just now, her abilities are probably the strongest among Team 1. Her group attack is super powerful, and she can kill birds very neatly with just a wave of her hand. The most important thing is that even when faced with a flock of mutant birds alone, the girl can remain calm without changing her expression. This calmness makes her stand out among men.
Everyone has heard that Gu Tianbai, the deputy director of the office who has only been here a few days, is good at planning and scheduling, and that he has fire powers. However, he has not done anything since he arrived in District 1. Everyone almost thinks of this. Forgot everything. Gu Tianbai can not only throw the fire wall, but he can also make the fire wall look like a fire dragon, controlling three of them at the same time. In terms of fire power, there is probably no one in Shanghai who is stronger than him.
Sha Liu, the leader of District 2 and District 4, who came to the meeting, looked at Gu Tianbai with his eyes glowing green. Why do they want to talk to District 1 about a district merger? Both of them are purely combat units. In the first two days of the apocalypse, each family was in chaos, and the survival rate of civilians was not high. Nowadays, every company is seriously short of professional talents in logistics. The original leadership team of District 1 was assigned to ensure the normal operation of the institute, and they were all involved in logistics. What a great job they did in robbing District 19. No one would let go of a talent like Yue Dongting who could wake up from his dreams with a smile. District 2 actually found a Gu Tianbai who was even stronger than Yue Dongting. If Gu Tianbai is taken back to Hemao District, maybe the level of the fire-type superpower users in the whole district will be greatly improved.
There are no casualties here. In another office building, only the skulls of more than a dozen clerks were left, and it was said that many people with supernatural powers were injured. Hai Fengqiu and Zhang Tianzhao accompanied Brother Chen to Yue Dongting.
Gu Tianbai had been at the resettlement site for the past two days, and he was busy with meetings today, so he had a lot of things on hand. Moreover, the mutated birds do not just need to be killed. The corpses need to be cleaned up, the bereaved families must be appeased, and the origin of the mutated birds must be investigated. All these things must be arranged in advance, and a memo must be made to Brother Chen to remind him. He directly pulled Bai Zhi into his office to help him.
The bosses who came back to continue the meeting passed by Deputy Director Gu's office and were very surprised to see the other side of Gu Baizhi who had just shaken his hand and killed everyone instantly. The girl lowered her eyebrows and sat at a small coffee table, holding a pencil and writing a summary while reading the report. The deputy director, who was outstanding in the fire department, was gentle and wrote quickly. He would also discuss certain matters with Bai Xiaozhi. The two of them handled the desk work calmly and looked very professional.
What Lao Chen got is a group of good helpers! He's been too proud lately. The leader of District 2 passed by silently. District 4 leader Sha Liu passed by angrily. Ms. Tao happily passed by. The yellow-faced old man really didn’t want to pass by.
Brother-in-law Chen came back and went around Deputy Director Gu's office. He held two pages of paper and gathered people from District 1 outside the conference room to arrange work. Everyone in the conference room heard it. Ya didn't think about it at all and was just reading the manuscript. After coming back, Brother-in-law Chen proudly flicked the two pages in front of Shaliu and said, "I have picked up a few good seedlings. I think I will be able to escape from the Wenshan Meeting soon and fight side by side with you."
"He was transplanted halfway, Chen Husheng, can you keep him alive?" Shaliu's artillery fire directly hit the weak point.
"You're a good person, there's nothing you can do about it." Brother-in-law Chen smiled honestly and said, "Please give me some advice on Gan Lin's matter. After all, you are her uncle."
"Isn't it Haikou who has the final say on major events in District 1?" Shaliu paused for a while and asked, "What does she mean?"
"Of course she wants Gan Lin to stay. But it also depends on Gan Lin's own wishes." Brother-in-law Chen smiled politely at Ms. Tao, "There are ways to improve her abilities in District 5, and she is willing to go, and Haihuan can't stop her. .”
"We've been arguing about her all day. Gan Lin can go if she wants." Sha Liu was rude and did not speak politely just because Ms. Tao was there. "Let's talk about the joint area immediately after the outsiders leave!"
"Then we'll say goodbye. I'll take Gan Lin and the others away today. My assistant will bring them back the day after tomorrow to show you the results." Ms. Tao stood up and said goodbye, "You are busy, let Director Gu see me off. Just a paragraph."
"What's he busy with?" Brother-in-law Chen called the yellow-faced old man's name, "Mr. Kang, please send Minister Tao off."
As Ms. Tao and her party walked out, someone slammed the door of the conference room shut behind them. District 5 is stuck with food and is trying to get people. Neither District 2 nor District 4 has a favorable impression of District 5. The people from District 5 were as good at brainwashing as if they were selling Amway. They coaxed Gan Lin, who had space powers, into following them in just a few clicks. Mr. Kang, who was seeing off the guests, didn't even look down upon them.
In Director Gu's office, which Ms. Tao was concerned about, several people from Team 1 were also having a meeting. Zhang Tianzhao sat on the left armrest of the wooden sofa where Bai Zhi sat, with his hands on Bai Zhi's shoulders.
Bai Zhi was still engrossed in writing the summary. She did not participate in the discussion. They were talking about how to disrupt the formation of the superpowers in areas 2 and 4. Bai Zhi knew nothing about this field.
Ms. Tao smiled at Zhang Tianzhao as she passed by the door, her eyes filled with admiration. The corners of Zhang Tianzhao's mouth turned up, and he looked down at Bai Zhi's side face.
"You're not going to go back and help your mother, are you?" Yue Dongting noticed the exchange between mother and son and asked very directly.
Zhang Tianzhao said calmly: "Learning from past mistakes is not far away. I will not throw myself into a trap."
Both Haifengqiu and Yue Dongting understood that he was referring to the cousin who had dismantled the parts. When the scientist went crazy, he really didn't recognize his relatives, and several people sighed in unison. Gu Tianbai raised his eyebrows and turned his attention to a document in his hand.
Bai Zhi put her left hand on Zhang Tianzhao's leg and pressed it gently twice quickly. Zhang Tianzhao caught her hand and held the little hand that conveyed care and love firmly in his palm.
Once the combined area was determined, all three areas moved very quickly. Areas 2 and 4 separated the teams of superpowers and handed them over to Haifengqiu. Area 1 transfers ordinary combat troops to Shaliu. District 1 has set aside a special area for Hai Fengqiu to form a new division. The number of the new division is currently less than 3,000. The ambitious Hai Fengqiu has left a staff for the superpowers from other districts.
The upgraded canteen has doubled in size as a matter of course, and the newly added jobs in Districts 2 and 4 each occupy fifteen, and in order to take care of the mood of the brother units in District 1, we have accepted eleven family members from outside the first team. The division cafeteria is located next to the new division headquarters and provides rationed meals for the entire new division and their families. Zhang Tianzhao provided two tons of clean water every day and secretly added water to the entire New First Division.
The ration of members of the New First Division has not increased, but it is an indisputable fact that people with superpowers have big appetites. Hai Fengqiu was able to get half of the search supplies to keep for himself. The self-retained supplies belong to each team, and each team is allowed to start its own business.
The first time Gan Lin came back, Zhang Tianxu accompanied her, but Zhang Tianzhao didn't see him. Gan Lin returned to District 1 for the second time ten days later. She proudly demonstrated her ability and used space to bring hundreds of tons of rice filled with deep friendship from District 5. This time, she only looked slightly pale after taking out the rice. She recovered after taking a short rest surrounded by a large group of bodyguards. When she went to the Sha family to visit her parents, she persuaded four of the Sha family's adult cousins to go to District 5 with her.
Sha Shuang was very moved, but Grandpa Sha rejected Gan Lin and kicked the Gan family, including his daughter, out of District 1. The third generation of the Sha family was strictly prohibited from leaving the underground settlement.
Districts 2 and 4 do not have as many family members as District 1, and their combined number is less than 6,000. The merger of the three districts lowered the male-to-female ratio to ten to one. Except for children who go to school and have somewhere to go, the vast majority of women have no jobs and can only stay at home.
After the district was merged, the first order issued by the district government was to strictly prohibit family members from traveling alone. Working family members were transported to and from get off work by teams of soldiers. There used to be two guards per shift in each residential area, but now there are ten guards per shift. In places such as schools and canteens where family members are relatively concentrated, security measures are extremely strict, second only to the laboratory in Sea Coral.
There was a new guy in Residential Area No. 2 who asked the girl next door to hang out. The girl didn't agree and yelled a few words. When the guy pulled her, he was caught by a patrolling military policeman and shot dead. The young man's family kicked him out on the spot.
District 1’s attitude towards protecting women is extremely tough, and the negative effects are also very obvious. While women are safe, they also lose their freedom of movement. It is almost impossible to see lesbians traveling alone on the road.
Bai Zhi complained to Zhu Cuicui during dinner one time: "There is a female mosquito flying over in Area 1 right now. I guess these animals will happily escort her to a certain clean arm and carefully wait for her to suck blood."
"It's really terrible." Zhu Cuicui was also extremely dissatisfied. Now Old Man Hai brings Xiaofei to the division canteen three times a day, so she no longer needs to deliver food. Bai Zhi could go out with Zhang Tianzhao on missions every other day. She did some sending and receiving work at the division headquarters, and she didn't even have a chance to leave the division headquarters yard.
Sun Heping passed by and listened to them, and said to them: "You two, you two, are born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed. It's getting more and more chaotic outside, just stay at home."
"What kind of chaos is it outside?" Zhu Cuicui clicked her chopsticks, "Tell me about it. You can't show happiness without contrast."
Haifengqiu sighed tiredly, "District 5 wants our new 1st Division to go over and help clear the two safe zones. The district is negotiating terms with them. We may have to fight with District 5. By then, you two can do whatever it takes outside. Saw."
Lin Yunlai walked slowly to the dining hall and said, "Yue Dongting, your Queen Mother is looking for you."
Yue Dongting silently put down his bowls and chopsticks and went out. After a while, he ran in sweating profusely and said, "My three sisters are gone."
