Chapter 40: A Silent Farewell (Part II)
"Why did Wanshu go for so long?"
A few minutes later, Lin Lexuan stopped chatting with the others and asked with some confusion.
"Miss her so soon?" Lin Muhan squeezed his eyes.
Lin Lexuan threw a sofa cushion at him, and Lin Muhan dodged it with a smile.
At this time, Xie Mengqi looked at him solemnly and said, "By the way, Le Xuan, you have to be careful not to let Yan Huang find out about the matter between you, after all, the organization has rules that only men and women can be allowed to be together after the age of twenty-five." ”
"I know Sister Mengqi, you can rest assured. She's been up for almost an hour, though. She'd never been on it that long before. Lin Lexuan pointed to his watch and said.
"It's been a long time......"
Xie Mengqi also glanced at his watch and said, "And it's time to cook." ”
Lin Lexuan stood up, picked up an umbrella and walked onto the balcony.
And when he came to the rooftop, his pupils shrank sharply. He looked at the empty rooftop and said with a smile: "Wanshu, can you be invisible?" I don't remember the teacher saying you have this potential. ”
No one answered.
"Wanshu?" Lin Lexuan asked again suspiciously.
There is still no sound.
"Are you going to play hide and seek?"
Lin Lexuan glanced at the rooftop helplessly, trying to find her shadow: "Don't make trouble, Mengqi asked you to go down and help her cook." ”
But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed something that made his heart stop.
The watch belonging to Xie Wanshu was lying quietly on the floor tiles of the rooftop, and the watch film was splashed with rainwater.
He couldn't believe his eyes. The umbrella in his hand slipped to the ground, and he walked to the watch with a pale face, and his trembling hands groped beside the watch for a while, but he didn't touch anything.
The last glimmer of hope was dashed.
Gradually, a feeling of weakness penetrated his body like a virus, and the girl's watch slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
"Why ......"
The rain was pouring down, and he couldn't say a word as if he had a hard lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow.
I don't know why, without any warning, without any hint, she just left.
He stared at the watch as if looking at it would bring her back.
In a flash of lightning, he finally understood why the girl had said such a thing to him last night.
"So that's what it is...... Your choice? ”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
And as if he had finally gathered enough strength, he let out a heart-rending wail. The others below heard the roar on the rooftop and hurried onto the rooftop.
When they looked at Lin Lexuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and the watch in his hand, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.
"It can't ......"
Lin Xiangyu, Lin Muhan and Xie Mengqi looked at this scene blankly and muttered.
…………………………………………
Loud sirens rang throughout the base, and several groups of investigators came to the children's houses, who took various notes and subjected them to several polygraph tests, which proved that they were indeed unaware of the incident. The waves of investigators also searched their houses to the fullest, but found nothing that violated the organization's rules.
Subsequently, Lin Lexuan and the others were taken to the square. At this time, waves of abilities and soldiers were mobilized, and almost all the abilities in the base were gathered.
And in front of the square, a man in a military uniform with a strong face stood under a large umbrella and was delivering a mobilization speech:
"The reason the alarm is sounding at the base today is that there is a member of the organization who has betrayed everyone! Her number is number 78. ”
With that, he held up the board in his hand, on which was a magnified, one-inch photograph attached.
"This is the girl who has seriously violated the rules and regulations of the organization and at the same time seriously threatens the safety of all of us. She ignored the integrity and discipline of the organization and trampled our dignity under our feet! ”
He paused, his fierce gaze scanning everyone below.
"We will not compromise and will never forgive this extremely irresponsible behavior! Now, every member of the group, I ask you, I command you to bring back this man who has disgraced us, and we will let her know what will happen if she betrays us! ”
Speaking of this, he faced the crowd of black pressure below, raised his arms and shouted:
"Now, let's go!!"
"Yes sir!!"
The roars of thousands of people resounded throughout the square, and the scorching heat that converged even broke through the blockade of the heavy rain curtain. Then there were the voices of various detachments, everyone took up their weapons, helicopters parked in the square flew one after another, armored vehicles drove in all directions, and everywhere there was the sound of raindrops hitting the iron plates.
The four children came to the place where the weapons were placed, and the non-commissioned officer in charge of distributing them looked at them and said, "Get that." ”
The men did not speak, they silently picked up their weapons and left the weapon point.
At this time, Xie Mengqi turned around, she looked at the three boys, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why this matter has become like this, but we have to find Wanshu before these people catch her." ”
"Is there any need for this?" Lin Lexuan laughed miserably.
"Of course it's necessary."
Xie Mengqi glanced at him sternly and said, "Don't you want to ask her why this is?" ”
Lin Lexuan's eyes regained a hint of brilliance, and Lin Xiangyu and Lin Muhan also nodded solemnly.
But just as they were about to act, a colonel suddenly stepped down from an armored car, he pointed at them and said: "No. 72, you and Team D of Group B are on the ground and follow the helicopter to the north, No. 75, you get on that armored car, No. 81, you get on the helicopter behind me, No. 85, you follow me." ”
Xie Mengqi frowned and was about to speak, but the colonel ignored her and yelled at them: "Hurry up!" ”
Xie Mengqi glanced at the others with a solemn expression, gestured to them to act according to a plan, and then ran towards the helicopter with his weapon in hand.
They dispersed.
Lin Lexuan took the assault rifle in his hand and followed the search team mentioned by the colonel in a daze.
And at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.
He seemed to vaguely remember that after he and Xie Wanshu completed the task of killing Zhang Han, the driver who picked them up didn't seem to put a hood on them, and the driver seemed to have a few words with Xie Wanshu.
"Will Wanshu go that way?"
Thinking of this, a flame of hope rekindled in his chest.
"Keep up with the helicopter, let's search north!"
The team leader shook off the rain and yelled at the people behind him. A total of seven people, including Lin Lexuan, stood up with their weapons and kept up with the captain's pace.
"How do I get rid of these people?"
Lin Lexuan walked at the end with a gun, desperately turning this thought in his mind.
(Thank you for your tips!) I won't list them all here! )
