The first time was six years ago, in Shennongjia. He tore Adam's skin, and then he saw it. Beneath the skin are dense eyeballs, constantly flipping and sliding, which makes people shudder.

In light of this...... Xiao Heng should be a species.

However, the species should not be so vulnerable, he looks more like some kind of highly alienated combat tool with a specific role. In fact, what his "role" is, Li Zhen has already figured it out. It's just this corpse......

He frowned slightly, and sliced its arm open with the spear in his hand, revealing the bones underneath. Bones and muscles and tendons are attached, and red blood obscures its original color. Li Zhen picked up a piece of gravel beside him, and with a little force, he slashed down at the bone.

There was a click, and the bones shattered.

He clapped his hands and stood up, shaking his head slightly.

Adam and Chiyou's bones are harder than steel. But Xiao Heng's is no different from humans.

So Li Zhen could only temporarily put aside his doubts, and walked down the ruins with the gun in his hand.

Zhang Jian and Pang Feihong were also crushed under the stone slabs. Both were unconscious, but still breathing. The breathing was not faint and there were no obvious external injuries. In fact, Li Zhen didn't care much whether they were alive or dead - because both of them were capable people, and he always had a way to save them.

He paused briefly in front of the two of them, reached out and grabbed the edge of the slab, and then pressed harder—a whole plate was lifted by him, and then flew out of the slab with another burst of force. The dust raised made the two of them disgraced, and Li Zhen squatted down and tried to pat Pang Feihong's face. But he only opened his eyes slightly and looked at Li Zhen. He let out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again.

So he went to see Zhang Jian. His eyelids were opened, and the fundus of his eyes was bloodshot and quite severe. This condition presumably means intracranial hemorrhage. For ordinary people, the situation is extremely serious, but for him it is just a question of whether to let his own blood be released.

Li Zhen stood up and looked into the distance, and saw a familiar figure.

A girl is running through the rubble with some college students, extinguishing fires, rescuing people, and searching for water pipes. She was in good shape, but because there was a tall wall here and there, the other party didn't seem to notice them.

Li Zhen squinted at her and raised his voice, "Guo Jinyuan." ”

The girl was slightly stunned. Stop and look here. Li Zhen took two diagonal steps and waved his hand at her: "Here." ”

The other party's eyes suddenly burst into a burst of joy and excitement. The whole person became radiant. Her eyes widened, she looked at Li Zhen, and then at the classmates who had gone away, and staggered to Li Zhen by stepping on the broken bricks and tiles on the ground.

When she got closer, panting and slightly embarrassed. The first sentence was, "Is it you?" Are they here to get you?! ”

It's a bit of a clueless and strange question. But Li Zhen knew what this girl was thinking. So he smiled: "Hmm." Come and get me. ”

Guo Jinyuan sighed with relief. The whole person seems to have risen from under the gloomy water. But she still bit her lip and her eyes went back and forth on Li Zhen's body: "I heard...... I heard that Xiao Heng and Xiao Yan are also here-"

Then she pointed somewhere behind her, "They also said that Xiao Yan was dead—"

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes." Xiao Heng also died. ”

After three seconds of sluggishness, Guo Jinyuan stared at Li Zhen in disbelief.

Until Li Zhen spread his hands again: "I don't lie." ”

The girl flew forward. suddenly hugged Li Zhen's neck. The sudden change made Li Zhen's heart tighten, and he instinctively reacted defensively. However, Guo Jinyuan's body was soft and warm, and after hugging him, he just shouted happily: "I know that you are Li Zhen!" It's no problem to have you out! ”

Her voice shook Li Zhen's eardrums. But in the end......

He finally lowered his hand quietly—the tip of Longinus' spear was pressed against her side.

Li Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, patted her shoulder with one hand, and said softly, "Hey, someone is coming." ”

Only then did Guo Jinyuan get rid of the joy of the gaffe and retreat slightly-Li Zhen thought that she would behave a little cramped, or a little embarrassed. But to her surprise, she only looked behind her back – and saw a few of her classmates poking their heads in here.

Then she took a deep breath.

Li Zhen realized that things were going to be bad. But before he could stop it, the girl shouted.

"Xiao Heng is dead!!"

This clear sound traveled far away. So the voice was like some kind of natural sound or magic spell, which made everyone stunned in unison. The students stood there for a moment and asked her in a loud voice, "What did you say?" ”

"General Li killed Xiao Heng!"

She shouted again and asked Li Zhen, who was born, to come.

Li Zhen rolled his eyes in his heart. In fact, he was not afraid of being known at all, it was he who killed Xiao Heng - this kind of thing didn't matter to him. Nor did he particularly resist the feeling of being looked at with reverence after a fierce battle - well, maybe a little shy and cramped, but better than obscurity and obscurity.

He felt that these thoughts were human nature, and he had always felt that he was just an ordinary person who happened to have a strong strength.

But here's the problem......

Earlier, a group of helicopter gunships bombed him indiscriminately. Although it didn't hit him directly, the clothes on his body were not materials that could withstand the heat. What's more, there was a fierce chase and high-intensity exercise afterwards, and the clothes on his body were so torn that they couldn't be torn anymore.

The outer garment on the upper body had been torn to shreds after the wings had been extended. And the pants on the lower half of the body are also tattered, and they are stained with Xiao Heng's blood. So now he stood shirtless, wearing only a pair of torn "shorts", and holding the gun on top of a pile of rubble...... It looks like a warrior from a tribe that has just returned from the battlefield in ancient times.

In fact, in the eyes of these people, Xiao Heng may not be a character that everyone can't wait to get rid of. In this modern society, especially within the empire, it is difficult for a dictator to really force the people under his control to do so. But the current situation is really far from the civilized society they have in their impression - six years is indeed not a short time, but it is not long enough to make people lose all hope in their hearts and the memory of a beautiful civilization.

Plus everything that's going on here. A small battle unfolded in an urban area – albeit a rather remote one – affected so many people and killed so many people. It was naturally not Li Zhen who started the battle first, and the ownership of those armed helicopters was clear at a glance, so the sadness and indignation made the people around them finally reach the limit of their patience with that General Xiao.

Therefore, Li Zhen has become a "hero" figure in a sense who "eliminates harm for the people". If he were an ordinary capable person, perhaps some of the more far-sighted people would be worried about what would happen to Yuzhou in the future - the death of Xiao Heng had created a power vacuum, and perhaps many people would have begun to fight for power and cause greater chaos.

However, the one who killed Xiao Heng at the moment is himself an imperial general, and he is still the kind of general who is worthy of his name and has a good reputation. People always like to think about one thing in the direction of the better - for example, "Even if this General Li is the general here, he is still a war hero, at least no worse than Xiao Heng" This kind of idea has germinated in the hearts of many people.

What happened next made him feel a little depressed. Because after many people expressed their feelings after "looking up to him for a long time", more people began to ask for his opinion. For example, what to do now, where to get in touch, how many people should search and rescue, how many people should extinguish the fire, how to place the wounded, etc.

Troublesome things like this made Li Zhen frown. Because of what he learned in the Secret Service, in the northern base...... Most of it was telling him how to destroy, not how to rebuild. Fortunately, after seeing Xiao Heng's corpse, people's trust and blind worship of him have reached a higher level, even if the original idea of "maybe he killed Xiao Heng in order to seize power" in some people's hearts has all disappeared.

For it is indeed not a human corpse. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a species or a different species.

As a result, several "instructions" issued by Li Zhen were carried out, and people's hearts finally calmed down. The situation has improved since the arrival of the previous vice dean and other leaders of the university, who are out-and-out experts compared to Li Zhen when it comes to organizing people.

He finally had time to find some free time, sat down in a flower bed outside the university walls, and sighed wearily.

After a while, Guo Jinyuan walked over.

Li Zhen looked at her and smiled wryly: "Don't call this time." ”

Guo Jinyuan's face showed an embarrassed look, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm sorry...... I was so excited just now. ”

Then she pinched the corner of her clothes and stopped talking.

Li Zhen saw her twisted and pinched demeanor, and thought for a while: "Do you still want to go back?" ”

"Hmm." Guo Jinyuan nodded, "At least I want to go back and see...... Is there really something wrong? ”

"Then you may have to wait a while." Li Zhen pointed to the rescue point in the distance that had been temporarily set up by the doctors of the University Hospital, "The fat man you saw behind me just now is in charge of managing that door. If you want to go back, you have to wait for him to recover. ”

After getting Li Zhen's promise, Guo Jinyuan's expression relaxed. She pursed her lips and smiled again: "Then I won't be in a hurry." ”

She looked at Li Zhen and sat down beside him.

Li Zhen didn't speak, and she was silent. After a while, she asked softly, "What about you...... Are you leaving? (To be continued......)
