Although it had only been a few days, Zhang Cheng, who returned to the surface again, felt as if more than half a month had passed.
The blue sky, white clouds and sunshine that he had not seen for a long time made his eyes narrow slightly, but he quickly adapted to it with the strong physical fitness of the awakened ones.
"It's been too long since I've been back to the surface. I'm still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change."
He took out his cell phone. The weather forecast showed that it would rain in two hours.
But looking at the blue sky and white clouds now, I don’t know if the weather forecast is accurate.
When passing by the Awakened Rest Area, there were quite a few Awakened people playing basketball, tennis and swimming, and each of their moves looked more explosive than the top stars.
It’s just that these are all zero-level awakeners.
Think about it, earning points on the surface is slower than in the abyss. They have to do tasks or make money in other ways, and then use the money to convert points into points in proportion before they can go to the Founding City for consumption. In this way, they want to earn enough enhancers or evolutions. Money is grown too slowly.
Besides, how could a group of people who would not even go to the abyss go to the abyss world to advance?
Those people stopped when they saw Zhang Cheng from a distance. Some of them seemed to recognize Zhang Cheng's face.
However, they only chatted cautiously, and then looked here from time to time, but no one dared to come over.
Although everyone is a zero-level awakener, there is already a sadly thick barrier between Zhang Cheng and them at this moment.
Zhang Cheng didn't pay much attention. He bypassed the rest area and canteen area and came to the front field area.
There is only one receptionist in the field area, who is operating something on the computer.
Zhang Chengxin said that the surface of the earth is indeed not as good as the Founding City. People there are using terminals, but in the end, they are still computers here.
"Hello." Zhang Cheng asked with a smile when he came to the counter, "Can I ask if there are any tasks available in our city now?"
"There is a field team for acute rescue missions. You have a work permit for the field team...ah?! Are you Zhang Cheng?!"
The lady at the front desk looked up casually, but when she saw Zhang Cheng, she subconsciously exclaimed, but her strong professionalism immediately lowered her voice.
Fortunately, there were not many people at this time, so her face was so excited that no one noticed her.
Zhang Cheng smiled gently: "I have a temporary work permit for the field team. Can this be used?"
As he said that, he handed over the temporary work permit for the field team that he had applied for before.
"No problem! This works!"
The front desk responded casually, then took the ID and scanned it in front of the machine, "Yes, it does work.
"It's just that there are no acute rescue missions now, only the verification missions accumulated during this period. Do you want to take it?"
Zhang Cheng nodded, "Take it."
The so-called verification mission was the one he did last time.
That is, someone reports a crime, usually a vicious case such as a murder or a disappearance, and then the police investigate and find extraordinary signs or no clues.
At this time, the public security system will transfer the case to Renjue Lian, and then Renjue Lian will send awakeners to investigate to see if it is a latent invasion of abyssal monsters.
After all, a vicious invasion by abyssal monsters would cause a large number of casualties in a short period of time, and the emergency rescue team of the field team was designed to deal with that.
In a latent case like this, the abyss monsters are generally not too strong, and the main force is the pseudo-monsters who are good at disguise.
What's more, it's not necessarily the abyss monster that did it.
Now that there is no acute invasion incident, Zhang Cheng can only take on this kind of mission and try his luck.
His parents are in his hometown, and someone from Jue Lian's "Talent Support Plan" has sent people to protect him. There is no guarantee of safety, and there is no need for him to go back and be nagged.
Sister and the others are all in the Founding City, so it's not interesting for him to be there.
"Okay, then I'll sort out the information and then you can make your selection."
The front desk operator worked hard on the keyboard for a while, then printed out a stack of information and handed it to Zhang Cheng, "This is the transferred case we received here, take a look."
"sorry to bother you."
Zhang Cheng took the pile of paper and turned it over.
As he turned over the pages, he suddenly froze, and the careless and gentle smile on his face faded away.
Seeing him staring at a certain page of information as if frozen in place, the front desk asked cautiously: "Did you encounter any problems?"
"Huh? No." Zhang Cheng smiled after reacting, and then pulled out the information, "What's going on with this case?"
"Let me take a look for you."
The sister at the front desk took the information and looked at it, "Oh, this is the case. The parents of this young man named Xu Feng died inexplicably on the same day, and he was the only one who survived.
"Later, he took the initiative to break up with his girlfriend, but he worked even harder. He wouldn't go home until 10 or 11pm every day if he didn't work overtime, even though he didn't get a promotion or salary increase.
"After we took over, we also sent awakened people to investigate. The final conclusion was that his parents did indeed die at the hands of monsters from the abyss, but he was hidden in a cabinet by his parents at the time and was not discovered, and his parents were not found until they died. Block in front of the cabinet.
"The monster from the abyss left after killing his parents. We are still investigating. His subsequent breakup with his girlfriend and his willingness to work overtime every day may have been partly due to psychological trauma, but he has since recovered."
The front desk tried his best to explain to Zhang Cheng, "The main reason why this case is still there is because the abyss monster has not been found yet, so this case cannot be closed."
Zhang Cheng nodded, "I understand, can I go take a look at this case?"
Xu Feng...he was the one who grew up.
"Ah? This is no problem." The receptionist stood up quickly, "Wait a moment, I will go to the terminal and send his home address and some information we investigated to your personal terminal."
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
People's bureaus in third-tier cities usually only have one terminal, and it is a large and old model, so they usually only use computers.
It's just that Zhang Cheng didn't have access to their intranet because of the branch organization. According to regulations, information related to the abyss world was not allowed to be transmitted externally, so she could only go to the terminal and send it to Zhang Cheng.
After a while, the personal terminal on Zhang Cheng's wrist vibrated.
He opened the information and looked at it. Just as he thought, Xu Feng's family was still in Longxin District.
He remembered that after graduating from high school, Xu Feng's family moved from the old community to the new community over there.
Putting away the information, Zhang Cheng nodded towards the front desk, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome!" the front desk said hurriedly: "Do you have our uniforms? If not, we have spare ones here."
Then she added, "It's free."
Zhang Cheng nodded, "Okay, then give me one."
Ten minutes later, Zhang Cheng, who had changed his shirt and tie inside and wore a long black windbreaker outside, left the branch and got on his motorcycle. Before putting on his helmet, he took out his mobile phone and opened the phone book.
Looking at the word "Lao Xu" in the phone book, he was silent for a moment and his eyes became firm.
After dialing the number, the ringtone rang for a moment and the call was answered.
"Brother Cheng?"
"...Old Xu, where are you?"
"I'm at work, what's wrong?"
"Please take a leave. I have something to ask you. You go home and wait for me."
"Okay... okay, let me tell the manager, why is this so serious?"
"...We'll talk about it later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng put on his helmet and started the motorcycle.
Good brother...I'm here to kill you.
