Maybe some of the people outside the top 20 on this list are not in the stream, but those within the 20 are all well-known figures.

Su Fan gently kicked Zhong Kui's foot who was lying on the ground and glanced at Chen Mu. The other party seems to be angry with him because of what happened just now, saying that he doesn't want to pay attention to him. Su Fan naturally didn't take what happened just now to heart, he just felt that the two people in front of him were a little interesting.

"Top 20 killers. Su Fan sneered and said, "That's it." Saying that, he looked at Chen Mu and said to Chen Ran, "Since everyone will be colleagues in the future, the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders." In the future, the seventh and eleventh places on the killer list will be the two of you, and only the four of us know about this matter, and you will have to accept the task in the future. ”

Chen Ran didn't speak, since Su Fan and Ren Qingming came over, half of his mind stayed on the two people lying on the ground, thinking about how to explain. The other half of his mind is on Ren Qingming.

The relationship between him and Ren Qingming was not very good before, at most, the other party saved his younger brother, and then the two had some necessary contact. For example, pick up Ren Qingming out of Shencheng.

After that, the two of them occasionally chatted on their mobile phones, and he didn't know why Ren Qingming would chat with such an unknown junior as himself about something very ordinary. Ren Qingming is not a person who can chat, and the frequency of chatting between them is not too high, sometimes they will say one or two words a week, and sometimes there will be no news for half a month.

Chen Ran felt that this was very normal, after all, he knew very well what the other party's identity was?

But after Ren Qingming helped him pick up his injured arm just now, he felt that the atmosphere between them was a little weird, and he couldn't say what was strange, but he felt that he shouldn't be close to this man who was admired and regarded as the pinnacle by people of their level. On the other hand, Ren Qingming, it seems to be a natural thing for him to be so quiet with himself.

When did their relationship get to this point?

Chen Ran didn't speak, but it didn't mean that Chen Mu would also listen to Su Fan's words.

"Have you forgotten that I was just a sophomore in high school. ”

Chen Mu's words attracted the attention of the other three, especially Su Fan. After he said that sentence just now, he went to call Jiang Han, and he could solve the two people on the ground, that is, on the spot. He was able to deal with these two without any trace, but not at the moment. However, things like the broken queen are not what he is good at, so he can only call Jiang Han over. Even if Jiang Han is still in the base thousands of miles away at this moment, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as Su Fan says a word, Jiang Han will quickly appear in the location designated by Su Fan no matter where he is.

Su Fan put away his phone, glanced at the people on the ground, and then looked up at Chen Mu. In just half a second, a lot of thoughts appeared in his mind, and he even began to doubt Chen Mu's true identity, or he made a certain reasonable guess about Chen Mu's true identity in his heart.

He laughed, "A sophomore in high school can take down the seventh-ranked killer in a matter of minutes." Should I say that Zexian No. 1 Middle School is a genius like you, or is it only you who is a genius? He stepped forward and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, and suddenly the words changed, "It's not small." ”

"And you ......" Su Fan finally turned the topic to Chen Ran. "I think you're supposed to be in the training camp by now, and you've already started your annual leave? I think there's no such thing as annual leave in the training camp. Su Fan muttered to himself, and only after making sure that the training camp did not have annual leave did he be sure, "So are you skipping class now?" or have you given up. ”

"Take a leave of absence. Chen Ran said, "You shouldn't need your approval to ask for leave." ”

"Really?" Su Fan looked confused, turned around and asked Ren Qingming, "Who is in charge of the training camp now? I can't control them, right?"

Ren Qingming thought about this question carefully, how should he answer it. To say that Su Fan's status is in the research institute, he can be regarded as one person under ten thousand people, but he has never interfered in the affairs of the training camp, if he wants to take care of him, of course he can manage it, but the problem is that there is no procedure to say that he wants to take care of it.

What a troublesome question.

"Our current direct boss is Zhou Hua. ”

"Zhou Hua. Su Fan laughed irrepressibly. "I also know Zhou Hua, but I just know it. ”

Chen Ran silently rolled his eyes in his heart, yes, the two of you just know each other, the most familiar stranger who has known each other for more than ten years and has been fighting together for more than ten years.

The joke is so cold.

"If you're done with what you're doing, come back to the base with me, I just thought of something you need to deal with. As for the old ...... Zhou Hua's side, I'll go over and make it clear. ”

Obviously it was Lao Zhou, but he changed it to a Zhou painting, I really don't know what this Su boss in front of me was thinking? Is it necessary to pretend to be so unfamiliar? The people in the research institute of their relationship know. Is he really a rookie who has just entered the institute?

Chen Ran glanced at Ren Qingming, and the expression on the other party's face was an expression of concern for a rookie.

OK, he admits it, he's a rookie.

"I haven't finished dealing with things yet, and I'll go back to the base as soon as I'm done. Chen Ran didn't follow Su Fan's words as he imagined.

He asked for leave this time and came back with something very important, and he couldn't go until the matter was done. And Su Fan was not as unkind as he imagined, and what he wanted Chen Ran to do was also something he had just come up with. He can accept Chen Ran's toughness, as long as this person belongs to him at that time.

That's right, after a few minutes of contact. Su Fan was sure, he wanted Chen Ran.

"Alright, just leave it to the two of us here, and you should go home as soon as you want. Su Fan gave an eviction order, and the two brothers Chen Ran and Chen Mu didn't want to stay in this place for too long. After Su Fan finished speaking, the two of them immediately got into the car and left.

Su Fan looked at the car that no longer had a shadow, and scolded with a smile: "Heartless little rabbit cub, we are here to help them clean up the aftermath, and we don't even have a word of thanks." ”

"You've got something more important than thank you. Ren Qingming can always know Su Fan's inner thoughts in a very short time. "If you want this kid, he'll follow you. It's Director Chen's side, I guess it's enough. ”

Ren Qingming's mind is very clear, here Chen Qikang and Su Fan are fighting hotly, and now he is going to Chen Qikang to ask for his eldest son. Even if Chen Qikang knew that it was a good decision for Chen Ran to follow Su Fan, in the final result, he would definitely let Chen Ran follow Su Fan, but he must disgust Su Fan when he agreed.

No way, this is Chen Qikang, the director of the Peace Division.

Su Fan smiled confidently, and looked at Chen Renqing's eyes very ...... Odd. Almost subconsciously, he knew what the other party was thinking.

"You want me to be a lobbyist for you. ”

An affirmative sentence without doubt.

"You saved his youngest son last time, and with your current status in the institute, he will give you some face. When the time comes, you and I will fight back and forth, and he will definitely let him spit out Chen Ran, this kid. ”

"Yes. ”

Ren Qingming didn't think Su Fan's statement was a bit disgusting, he was just thinking that this statement was a bit feasible. As for why he wanted Chen Ran to follow Su Fan, a large part of the reason was because he didn't want Chen Ran to die. In recent years, the mortality rate of those who have gone to the front line to become executors has risen from 30 percent to 70 percent.

As the boss of the front-line medical department, he is very aware of the rise in the data, and as for the reason for this rise, he can only guess roughly. The most fundamental reason needs to be found by explorers. But what anyone with a discerning eye can see is that in recent years, the number and quality of intruders have increased. What used to take only four or five people to solve can now take up to ten.

If Chen Ran can follow behind Su Fan, he will not only be able to learn more, but also have a greater chance of survival.

——

On the other side, the two brothers of the Chen family were in the car.

"Do you want to follow Su Fan?" asked Chen Mu.

"Isn't that good?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's whether it's willing or not. Although Chen Mu is only a seventeen-year-old sophomore, in Chen Ran's eyes, he is a veteran with more combat experience than himself. He sometimes doesn't listen to Chen Qikang's words, but Chen Mu's words can make him listen to them a little.

"Of course I do. ”

Chen Ran didn't even think about replying.

This crisp and neat answer made Chen Mu feel in a trance for a moment, he had heard this sentence a few years ago, or more than ten years ago.

Chen Mu turned his head sideways and looked at Chen Ran, and another man appeared in his sight.

It was a man in his thirties, with a little long hair and a scruffy beard. Dressed in the summer combat uniform of the institute executor, carrying a red tassel gun on his back. The gun was wrapped in several layers of thick cloth, so tightly that it was impossible to tell what he was carrying at a glance. Obviously he was very tired, but his eyes were full of powerful light.

"In the past, I couldn't understand why I had to become an executor, I just felt that it was my responsibility as the son of the Chen family. Later, I thought that this peaceful and prosperous era was very good, but it was a pity that it was ruined. Later, they all left one by one, and even I thought that everyone in this world could die, but he couldn't...... Also, it's gone. I was thinking, how long can I last, how long can I resist, and do I still have the point of fighting?" the man untied the straps on his chest and stood on the ground with the red tassel gun in his hand, staring ahead.

There was a void ahead, and it was this nothingness that began to pour into countless intruders. They look like humans, but with vicious fangs, and they rush towards men.

The man extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, clenched the gun, and finally turned his head and said, "A long time ago, someone asked me if I would like to be an executor, and my answer at that time was ......"

"Of course I do. ”

There was no one in the direction the man was looking, but he was really speaking in the tone of an old friend.

The figure of the person in Chen Mu's eyes gradually merged with Chen Ran in front of him, Chen Ran turned his head and asked him with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

"I am thinking about what kind of people those executors are, and what forces support them to fight bravely at the forefront without fear of life and death. ”

"Maybe it's an ideal. Chen Ran didn't doubt him, and didn't even think much about it.

"Ideal?" Chen Ran muttered, "Is there really anyone willing to sacrifice their lives in order for others to survive?"

"You know this best. After so many rounds, our understanding of human nature is somewhat deeper than ours. ”

Chen Mu didn't respond, and changed the topic very stiffly: "Listen to Su Fan, you didn't have a holiday, are you coming back?"

"Private matters. ”

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

Personal.

The two arrived at Chen's house at exactly six o'clock and caught up with dinner. The two of them went home and really gave Zhou Zhiqing a big surprise.

Chen Mu stayed in Zexian County after the winter vacation and did not go back, during which Zhou Zhiqing also called him and asked him to go back early, but Chen Mu never responded to her. As for Chen Ran, he only told her that she was going to be in charge of a new project of the company, and she needed to travel far away, and she might come back when she would.

Today, however, the two undated sons have returned.

Zhou Zhiqing's joy was indescribable, and she immediately cooked many dishes that the two brothers loved.

After a busy meal, it was also eight o'clock, and the three of them were able to sit at the dining table and have a good meal.

A table of food, a lamp, a few people, maybe that's what home is all about.

During the meal, Chen Ran and Chen Mu looked at each other frequently, and they all signaled to each other with their eyes, but no one wanted to speak. Until the two of them made this wrong move that caught Zhou Zhiqing's attention.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhiqing realized that something was wrong, and Zhou Zhiqing was quite happy. After all, Chen Mu has always disliked Chen Ran very much, and now the relationship seems to be much better. Gradually, she felt that the atmosphere was not going in a warm direction. He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"What are you two brothers playing dumb riddles, are you all full?"

As soon as Zhou Zhiqing's words fell, the two brothers put down their chopsticks together, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.

"You're my brother, you say it first. ”

Chen Mu chose to strike first, and drank the soup quietly after speaking.

Xiao Mu said that he was going out for the Chinese New Year this year and was not at home for the New Year. ”

Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, Jiang was still old and spicy. You let me say it first, I don't have to say my own business, silly brother.

"Huh?"

Before Zhou Zhiqing could react, Chen Mu struck again, "Brother said that he would have to go on a business trip for the Chinese New Year this year, and he would not be at home for the New Year." ”

After speaking, the two leaned back in their chairs and made a look of being slaughtered. That's it, anyway, it's all said. Surprisingly, for a long time they did not hear the reaction they imagined. They couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhiqing, but found that the other party was actually drinking the soup very elegantly.

"Mom?" Chen Ran shouted cautiously.

"Huh?" Zhou Zhiqing didn't seem to hear what they had just said.

"We just said ......"

"Oh, don't you go home for the New Year, I heard. ”

Chen Ran and Chen Mu glanced at each other: That's it?

"What's wrong?"

The two brothers shook their heads violently, "No, it's nothing. ”

"Alas. Zhou Zhiqing suddenly sighed deeply, causing the two brothers to take a sharp breath.
