Chapter 54: Step by step

"That's not a problem." Liu Kong said calmly, "Regarding the selection of Long Mu, according to the convention, it is still assigned by the Sword Pavilion, and this is not something we need to worry about. ”

"I'm afraid that no one will want to do it then." Shangguan Hong said coldly

"I don't think we're going too fast." HN Commander Fang Heng, who had not spoken since the beginning of the meeting, spoke, "How long has it been since I received the news of the 'Knight' rebellion? ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the commander-in-chief Liu Kong again

"About twelve hours." Shangguan Hong, as the first to receive the news, stood up and said

"So since receiving the news of the 'Knight' rebellion, who is in charge of S City so far?"

"Because Shanshui was also seriously injured, the situation in S City is now temporarily presided over by Wu Qinyuan, the head of the Coyote Brigade." Shangguan Hong replied

"So in the past 5 hours, what has happened to the 'knight'?" Fang Heng thought for a moment and continued to ask

"No, since 11 o'clock last night, he has not detected his fluctuations. And last night around 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock on the edge of the jurisdiction of S City, Skynet detected a long period of violent abnormal fluctuations, including the 'knight' himself, and the other party was presumed to be a B-class alien. Liu Kong explained slowly, "After that, around 11 o'clock, the last fluctuation of the 'knight' was detected in the stronghold of the city of the Thunder Dragon Brigade. The time happened to be just after the warning from his dragon pastor, Shangguan Shanshui. His defection can be presumed. ”

"What, then, was the purpose of his defection? Who are the B-class Inhumans who came into contact with him? Fang Heng asked calmly

"Due to the destruction of all the audio and video materials of that night, these can only be known after Shangguan Shanshui comes to his senses." Liu Kong groaned for a moment and replied slowly

"So, isn't it too early for us to decide whether or not to execute the 'knights'?" Fang Heng's command was amazing

"To be honest, based on his past performance, I don't really believe that the 'Knights' will rebel for no reason, and there is no need to do it at this point in time. Isn't it suspicious that a B-class Inhuman had been in contact with him before Skynet's observations? At that time, his dragon pastor, Shangguan Shanshui, did not send an urgent contact, indicating that this meeting was also unreasonable. What happened after that doesn't logically make any sense, doesn't it? ”

"Commander Fang, what do you mean? Do you mean that the message that my daughter risked her life is fake? Shangguan Hong's peace that he had maintained all night was still broken by Fang Heng's words, although he tried to restrain himself, after all, his own daughter was in the hospital at the moment and her life and death were uncertain, and at this moment he couldn't help but burst out.

"I didn't mean it that way, but for the past twelve hours, the 'knight' hasn't done anything. We don't know the specifics of S City yet. If you rashly use the plan at this time and release Ren Yuan to cause unnecessary losses, then the consequences will be unimaginable. Fang Heng changed his taciturn at the beginning of the meeting and said quickly

"The consequences are unimaginable? Wounded Liunian used his ability to attack Long Mu, who was supposed to be protected by him, destroyed the data, and absconded in fear of crime! When is this all the time, and we are slowly investigating why he defected? When I get a hole in my chest, will I ask him personally? Shangguan Hong said hatefully

"So what if that B-class Inhuman who came into contact with the 'Knight' was the reason for his defection? How can we guarantee that Ren Yuan will not be contacted and then kill his own Long Mu to defect? Fang Heng said-for-tat, "What's more, now the 'knight' is only suspected of stabbing his Long Mu, Ren Yuan really has a criminal record, isn't he?" ”

Shangguan Hong snorted coldly and did not continue to speak, and the rest of the people in the conference room were silent.

"So Commander Fang, what do you think we should do next?" Liu Kong broke the silence with a voice

"I think that while it is true that the eradication of the 'knights' is a top priority, since the 'knights' have not made any new moves so far, it is clear that they may not have lost their minds. At that moment, we should first send an investigation team into S City to investigate the specific situation, I just looked through the meeting materials, I think the sudden B-class alien is also very suspicious, and it is the top priority to find out the ins and outs of the whole incident first. Secondly, step up the treatment of the injured Long Mu and obtain first-hand information as soon as possible. In terms of intelligence, we have already lost a move, we can no longer act blindly, why did a B-level high-level Inhuman appear out of thin air, and we have not received any relevant reports from S City before? I think it's problematic here! If you don't investigate clearly, you will act rashly, and I am afraid that in the end, you will lose your wife and lose your army. Fang Heng analyzed one by one

"Do you mean, there is something wrong with the work of good water?" Shangguan Hong asked coldly

"Isn't it? And it's not a mistake, it's a major mistake. At 8 o'clock, we found a high-level alien, why did we not receive accurate reports and related audio and video materials by 11 o'clock, which led to the destruction of all the information by the time the incident finally happened. Fang Heng was not shaken by Shangguan Hong's words

"You!" Shangguan Hong was furious

"Okay, we're here for a meeting, not a quarrel, the situation is already very serious, and there's no time for me to argue here." Liu Kong said to stop the two, "Then send a group of personnel from the Southwest Headquarters to S City to investigate, I will report to the state, notify the local government and the police to cooperate, and at the same time let the Sword Pavilion prepare the candidate for Ren Yuan's Long Mu, and take the next step according to the results of the investigation." Still have questions? ”

Everyone discussed and agreed, but Shangguan Hong watched coldly and remained silent.

"Since there is no problem, let's break the meeting. The commander instructed you to stay for a while, and we will discuss the arrangements of the investigation team. After Liu Kong announced the dismissal of the meeting, the seven 3D projectors were dimmed, and only Shangguan Hong was still on

"If there is anything else to discuss, you can arrange it, and the GD branch will fully cooperate." Shangguan Hong's anger did not subside

"I know that this kind of thing has happened, and you are very uncomfortable, but now is not the time to be emotional, and we are responsible for the safety of the people." Liu Kong said helplessly

"I know..."Shangguan Hong sighed, "let's talk about work." ”

……

Shangguan Shanshui slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was a layer of transparent glass, and he could see the pale pink ceiling above, with an oxygen mask on his mouth, and a dull pain in his chest.

"Dr. Wang, the patient is awake!" A nurse shouted

Soon there was a rush of footsteps, and Wu Qinyuan and several doctors walked into the ward.

Dr. Wang leaned forward and opened Shangguan Shanshui's eyelids and lit the flashlight. Shangguan Shanshui suddenly received the strong light and subconsciously tightened his pupils. Seeing this scene, the doctor couldn't help but be overjoyed

"The patient has regained consciousness, can he speak? Do you remember who you are? ”

"I... Call Shangguan... Shanshui..."Shanshui's lips moved slightly, and a few words exhausted the accumulated energy, and slowly fell asleep again.

"It's good, self-perception is normal." The doctor reviewed the signs on the device and rearranged the dosage of each drug to the nurse.

"Xiao Wang, can I have a few words with her?" Wu Qinyuan asked anxiously

"No, the patient is still weak. Although the wound on the chest cleverly avoided the lungs and arteries, the wound was too large and the amount of blood was lost, and it was not out of danger yet. It's not time to have too much communication. The doctor motioned for the nurse to close the glass door and for everyone to go out first.

"No, it's urgent, we have to ask now." Wu Qinyuan stopped Dr. Wang's footsteps and said in a low voice

"I'm a doctor and I have to take responsibility for her life. I don't know what happened in the ministry, but you can also see it, Old Wu, she can't complete the communication at all now," Dr. Wang frowned, in addition to being a doctor at the city hospital, he was also a supernumerary member of the coyote brigade.

"What if you get a booster shot?" Wu Qinyuan gritted his teeth and asked fiercely

"I'm not sure if it will work, but there's a good chance she'll die of organ failure tonight." Dr. Wang said, "That wound is not fatal, can't you wait for a few days?" ”

"Time waits for no one..."Wu Qinyuan smiled bitterly, "Then when do you think she will be able to get out of danger?" ”

"It's up to her, she's lost so much blood, multiple organs are on the verge of failure, it's a miracle that she's waking up so quickly. It shows that she has a good foundation, and if she is optimistic, she will be out of danger in a few days. ”

"Aren't they all blood transfusions?" When Wu Qinyuan heard that he would have to wait for a few days, he couldn't help it

"Old Wu, people are not machines, and organ damage caused by long-term blood loss cannot be cured immediately by blood transfusion..."Dr. Wang also smiled wryly.

"But we can't wait that long!" Wu Qinyuan was annoyed, he reported the news to the ministry as soon as possible, but the notice he received was to maintain order and wait for the order to submit a detailed report. Angry, he scolded in the communication channel, all he knew was said in the voice report, usually their coyote brigade provides support and news to the Thunder Dragon brigade, and the action records of the duo have never been in his hands, where can he hold back a detailed report.

And what made him even more incredible was that such a big thing had happened, why did the superiors of the Thunder Dragon Brigade not respond effectively? Didn't the injured year say that Shangguan Shanshui had already asked the ministry for support? Why hasn't the long-overdue support arrived? Thinking of the wounded year, Wu Qinyuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, if the most hurt betrayal of the wounded year was his partner and girlfriend Shangguan Shanshui, then the second was himself who was also a teacher and friend with him. Until now, he still didn't believe that Wound Nian would betray the Order.

He now desperately wants to ask Shangguan Shanshui, what happened at that time, did she see it wrong? What really happened that night? Mystery after mystery entangled, tearing at his heart, as he staggered down the corridor of the hospital, he realized that he was not only old, but too old. His already aged body could no longer withstand this series of changes, and overnight, one of the two juniors he relied on the most was struggling on the edge of life and death, and the other betrayed the organization's whereabouts are unknown. The blow and chaos left him breathless.

"I'm really old..."

Wu Qinyuan held on to the wall and sat down tremblingly on the plastic chair in the hospital corridor. The toss of the night before broke the old man, and after the voice report, he handed over the work to his subordinates and came to the hospital alone to wait for Shangguan Shanshui to wake up, which was the only job he was qualified for now.

The two Liu brothers, who had been following him, were sitting at the headquarters of the Coyote Brigade at the moment, and the City Museum was in charge of the overall situation. That night, all the organizations of the Ministry of Disasters in S City were running like crazy, everyone was busy all night, everyone was told to be fully prepared for the next emergencies, searching for anomalies, but except for a few people, everyone didn't know why they were busy.

The Coyote Brigade took over all the departments of the S City Disaster Department, and one by one orders and reports were intertwined into an invisible giant net in the night sky of S City through radio waves, and each node was busy in a dazed and tense manner, but last night's S City was still so prosperous and peaceful as every ordinary night in the past.

Wu Qinyuan looked at the wall in a daze, in the corridor outside the ICU ward, everyone's faces were covered with gloom that could not be dissolved, and no one paid attention to this lonely old man, as if waiting for something. He didn't know what he was waiting for, waiting for Shangguan Shanshui to wake up? Still waiting for the report of the Wounded Years...

The sudden ringing of "Jingle Bell Bell" woke Wu Qinyuan from his daze, he took out his mobile phone and stabilized his emotions, he is now the only backbone of the ministry in S City, and he can't let his subordinates feel his wavering.

"What's the matter?" After answering the phone, he asked calmly

"The detection team checked the abnormal fluctuation of the 'knight' in the bloodstains at the scene, and there was only this one fluctuation! It is almost certain that it was the 'knight' himself! ”
