He saluted Dai Bingcheng, and then nodded slightly at Du Qixi, thanking him for the assistance he had just given to his group.

The latter curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Li Zhen slightly...... His gaze stopped at his waist. And it gets complicated in an instant.

The knife that Hu Yanling gave him was stuck diagonally behind his back, and the handle of the knife fell downward, revealing its end from his waist. This knife seems to be of excellent material, even the standard military field knife of the executive officer cannot be compared with it, so Li Zhen is more and more satisfied with it.

At this moment, Du Qixi saw the handle of the knife.

But his surprise, or doubt, didn't last long. Because Dai Bingcheng had already introduced him: "This is Lieutenant Li Zhen." ”

So Du Qixi's gaze became even more surprised. The polite smile on his face had vanished, and his brow furrowed slightly.

And Li Zhen also noticed a point. He wasn't a fool, of course he knew what the other party saw...... And what kind of associations might have arisen? It's just that he didn't think clearly - whether Hu Yanling gave this knife to himself unintentionally or intentionally. But no matter what...... This Du Qixi's first impression of himself seems to be not good.

Dai Bingcheng said again: "This is Captain Du Qixi of the Southern Base Security Bureau. This time, I am also the coordinator of both of us. ”

So Li Zhen raised his hand and saluted again, and the other party returned the salute.

The atmosphere was a little subtle—even the Executives, who had just settled in the neighborhood and were on guard, were aware of it. Almost everyone present knew Du Qixi, and even several of them had a good relationship with him in the past. However, the more this happened, the more dissatisfied he became now. A few of them also spat on the ground: "Phew! ”

The same ...... They are also aware of Du Qixi's original "gift of knives". Hu Yanling is his former partner, with a very unrestrained personality and different hobbies. Therefore, the first gift Du Qixi gave her was this Yanling knife - which happened to match her name. It is said to be called "Autumn Water".

However, now that the knife was on Li Zhen's back - no wonder he always felt that his comrades-in-arms around him often looked at him and seemed to be smiling...... It turned out to be the reason.

As for Dai Bingcheng, he is acting quite calmly at the moment. It seems that he has nothing to do with this former subordinate, and he is only regarded as an ordinary colleague within the secret service system.

Now that these three people are together, the relationship is really messy. Li Zhen sighed in his heart and decided to put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind for the time being.

Dai Bingcheng looked at Li Zhen: "You said before that you had a similar feeling before your ability awakened. So what do you think about what happened to them? ”

Li Zhen hesitated slightly, not knowing whether some words should be said. In fact, he deduced that Adam was hiding somewhere underground—perhaps even the last tomb of Nachiyu. And then it somehow affected the ordinary people, causing them to mutate and kill each other. And judging from the situation when he first came into contact with Adam, it is very likely that those mutants will be firmly controlled by Adam. Become a weapon of war against those who attack themselves.

Adam is indeed getting stronger.

But eventually he said, "I think Adam is underground in this area." Maybe it's some kind of ability that we don't know yet is affecting them. But it should only work for the average person. ”

Du Qixi opened his mouth and said: "We have the same opinion over there. After all, it was thought that the Chiyou tomb was nearby. It's just that in this way, the previous combat plan will have to change drastically. The reinforcements on the side of the airport are basically useless, and they have to rely on the capable to break in. It was imperative to find the entrance to the cemetery first, and the Secret Security Team and the people on the other side of the airport could take care of the perimeter - at least to ensure that the people at the Gate of Truth would not infiltrate. ”

Dai Bingcheng nodded slightly: "There are not too many people in the Gate of Truth. They're not going to storm here. But they haven't shown up yet...... This is a bit strange. ”

He looked up at Du Qixi again: "Your expert group is still there, and now this is the case, can they find out the exact location for me within a few hours?" At the very least, we need to figure out if this is a dungeon underneath the ground, or if it is a tunnel that has been excavated like before. ”

Du Qixi's face was difficult: "I have measured it with an instrument before." The reason why there is no conclusion is because of the topography here - there is a dark river under the Enshi Gorge, the river leads in all directions, and there are natural caves at the tributaries...... Therefore, whether it is a manually excavated passage or a naturally formed tomb, it is difficult to judge. ”

Dai Bingcheng finally frowned, and focused on the pale red area of the map: "It's hard to judge? Now there are more than a hundred mutants roaming the place! They are all our former comrades-in-arms! This piece. Whether or not it will expand, how long its influence will last, and how long the mutants will remain in their current state - these are questions that urgently need an answer! ”

"We're dealing with a Level 4 event right now - since you're only willing to send teams of experts and ordinary combat troops, I'll be in command of the scene. So I need to know exactly in an hour if Adam is under this area, how far from the ground he is, if he has lurked through some passage that we haven't found, and why our probe is not responding to it! ”

Dai Bingcheng spoke in a hurry, and his tone was stern. Many people heard his voice and looked over to this side, intentionally or unintentionally. There is even some schadenfreude between the eyebrows. And Du Qixi stood straight opposite him, his face changed. After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "Director Dai." I'm no longer your subordinate. ”

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Dai Bingcheng stared at him for a while, and said coldly, "Okay." Captain Du Qixi. Indeed, you are no longer my subordinate. Then I will now give you a formal order in my capacity as the field commander - in an hour, come to me with a definite result. If you can't get back to your life after an hour—"

He pointed to Du Qixi's epaulettes: "I will enforce battlefield discipline." ”

It was only at this time that Li Zhen realized that the previous peace between the two was all disguised.

Dai Bingcheng at this moment is completely different from the Director Dai in his impression. He lost his usual composure and became aggressive—even making naked threats to a junior officer.

Du Qixi pursed his lips, lifted the sniper rifle on his side, saluted Dai Bingcheng silently, and turned around and walked towards the helicopter on the west side. (To be continued.) )
