Chapter 364: Strange Reception Banquet
The reception banquet prepared for Gu Yuelong and Xue Xin, the two strong generals of the Northern Theater, was in the evening.
After receiving the notice, Chen Chong came to the banquet hall in advance, and while waiting, the three leaders of the War Department, the two war generals, and most of the high-level officials of the War Defense Department arrived one after another.
Except for Ming Blood and Wu Yunlong, all the high-level officials in the refuge area have arrived.
Although it was to catch the wind and wash the dust, there was no joyful atmosphere in the banquet hall, but it was a little depressing.
When everyone was seated, all the controllers focused on Gu Yuelong and Xue Xin, guessing the identity and strength of these two distinguished guests, while Chen Chong, who was at the bottom, lowered his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were all on Si Chengxiu's body.
At this moment, the head of the political department, who had been heavily injured in the battle with the 'land god', had a sallow face, and in addition to his face, even his neck, palms and other parts were wrapped in bandages, faintly exuding a smell of herbs, and he coughed lightly from time to time, like a patient who had not recovered from a serious illness.
And Xiongkun, the head of the Ministry of Health on the side, is in the same situation.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Chong smiled coldly in his heart. And noticing the state of these two leaders, the high-level people present couldn't help but look at each other, and stopped talking.
This is the first time in the past few days that they have met the leaders of the two ministries.
The condition of the two seems to confirm the rumors that the two leaders in the refuge area have been hit hard.
"Don't be too surprised. ”
At this time, facing the suspicious eyes of several high-level executives, Si Chengxiu coughed and said softly:
"We are indeed seriously injured, but the injuries are not fatal, and now they are getting better little by little, but we have not told you for the sake of people's hearts. ”
Xiong Kun smiled: "Now that the two strong reinforcements from the war zone have arrived, the two of us who are useless can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Gu Yuelong and Xue Xin, the two generals, were not surprised, obviously they had already sped with the three leaders after arriving in the refuge area, and knew the situation of Si Chengxiu and Xiongkun, and said in unison:
"Both of them are heroes who turned the tide, the backbone of the entire refuge area, and it really hurts us to say that. ”
"In any case, the fact that two people who have traveled thousands of miles to support us in the refuge area is a complete reassurance. ”
As soon as he waved his hand, he looked at the many high-level leaders at the bottom:
"Let me officially introduce to you, these two are the high-level officials of the Northern Theater, the military commissar and the honorary general, Gu Yuelong and His Excellency Xue Xin. During the time these two have come to our refuge to support, you have to treat them as your most honored guests, just as you did with the three of us!"
Although there had already been some speculation in his heart, after hearing the identity of Gu Yuelong and Xue Xin named by Xing Zhan, the high-level people present were still awe-inspiring:
"Yes!"
"You don't have to be so polite, we are here to get through the difficulties together, how can we be noisy?"
Xue Xin smiled slightly, then her smile retracted, and she sighed faintly:
"But I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived, something like this would happen in the refuge area. ”
The words fell, and the ballroom fell into a deathly silence.
The labor dormitory, the guard barracks, and the new human training camp, the continuous slaughter in the past three days has made the shock and anger of the high-level reach an overwhelming level, but the confusion and lack of clues about the identity of the human demon have made everyone even more restless.
What kind of strength has this demon reached now?
Who will it target next?
Could it just hide around itself and others, or even look at them in the shadows and laugh at them?
All kinds of speculation and gloom shrouded his heart, like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and like the deadly death lurking beside him, the kind of palpitation like a man's back, except for the strong people of the level of the three leaders, no one is immune.
The most terrifying thing about people and demons is this sense of stopping that can be anyone.
"Now, one thing is pretty much certain. ”
In the dead silence, the cold and majestic voice of the torture war broke the silence:
"Judging from the fact that several instructors of the New Human Training Camp died one after another last night, this human demon at least has the strength of a second-order controller, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhao Junlie and Nightingale, two high-level transcendents, to be unaware and resist. ”
As he spoke, the eyes of the criminal war swept over the high-level leaders in charge of the banquet one by one: "The high-level leaders present have basically confirmed that there is a sufficient alibi, except for ......"
Gu Yuelong's eyes moved, and he said in a deep voice: "The leader of the criminal battle, except for whom?"
"It was a high-ranking person who had completely disappeared since the first day of the incident in the refuge area. ”
Xing Zhan said slowly:
"I have sent Wu Yunlong to the industrial base to investigate the cause, but so far I have not received accurate results, and I don't know if he is dead or alive. ”
"Missing at this juncture?"
Xue Xin's slender eyebrows suddenly raised.
Xing Zhan understood what she meant, and said slowly:
"It cannot be ruled out that this person is suspected of becoming a demon, but it is unlikely. Because if he were a human demon, there was no reason why he would expose himself in this way, and then commit crimes continuously. Moreover, the modus operandi, the use of weapons and methods are also inconsistent with himself. ”
"And in the past three days, we have mobilized all our staff, and we have turned the refuge area up and down, and there is no trace of him. ”
When the words fell, Gu Yuelong and Xue Xin's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a pimple.
Situations like the refuge zone are also genuinely strange and tricky.
"I also have a guess for your reference. ”
Gu Yuelong groaned:
"Is it possible that this demon is not in the refuge area? he may be this blood, or he may not be a person from the refuge area in the first place, he is like a wanderer in the wilderness, he will take advantage of the night to sneak into the refuge area and wait for the opportunity to commit crimes, and then ......"
In the banquet hall, everyone was solemn and communicating, only Chen Chong was expressionless like a sculpture, and he did not react to everyone's conversation. Ming Blood had already died in the Longyan Grand Canyon, and there was no connection between nature and humans and demons, but it was a pity that he gave others the wrong guidance by mistake.
"Si Cheng Xiu ......"
Inadvertently, he glanced at Si Chengxiu, who coughed and said a few words from time to time, and a strange feeling was born in his heart.
A terrifying human demon sat at the banquet and talked and laughed, but no one else was aware of it. It's as if a cannibal demon has taken on the form of a human being, and is communicating with his food.
Weird, and sarcastic.
Thinking of this, Chen Chong's heart was cold, and his eyes turned to Xing Zhan, he already had a plan.
