Chapter 31: Innocence
Seeing this, Zhang Yan rushed over without thinking about it.
Zhang Yan slashed those ordinary zombies all the way, and where the knife passed, the ordinary zombies turned into pieces.
Killing and killing, Zhang Yan became more and more proficient in the use of her abilities.
She discovers that she not only has the double knives and compound eyes of a praying mantis, but also has the body of a praying mantis.
She's more subtle when she's lurking, and she's more fluid and explosive when she's attacking.
Her stride and waist were consciously cooperating with the attack of the mantis's twin knives, as if she was born proficient in those actual combat skills.
When she killed all the zombies besieging Ning Meng, Zhang Yan stood in place, looking at her twin knives, thoughtful, digesting the benefits of the battle.
Ning Meng smiled gratefully and slowly climbed down from the front of the car.
She looked at Zhang Yan, then at Yan Zhuo, and spoke incoherently excitedly:
"Thank you! Thank you so much! Thank you! Oh my God, Zhang Yan, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful! Nothing short of a hero! I'm going to scold Senior Brother Liu for a while, he still suspects you! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be stuck here. I'm just a clerk, and it's ...... to leave myself to follow you."
As Ning Meng spoke, she quickly tied her messy hair into a ball, so that she could move easily.
When it came to the last sentence, she seemed to suddenly realize that she had slipped out.
Ning Meng's eyes widened, raised her head, and looked at Zhang Yan embarrassedly.
Zhang Yan narrowed her eyes:
"Stalking me? Why? ”
Ning Meng sighed, and there were many complaints in her tone:
"Not the last time?
The suspicion of you has been completely ruled out, but then Zhao Ziqi died in the detention room inexplicably, and on the same day, the people who lived in the same dormitory with you also had abnormalities, and they surrendered one after another, and the surveillance of the public security building was also deleted that day...... Senior Brother Liu suspected that you did it.
This time, I heard that you came out with Wang Pengfei to kill the second-level zombies, and then disappeared for so long, Senior Brother Liu took the opportunity to apply to come out to find you, in fact, because he wanted to catch you.
Because one of them is an accomplice named Liu Gengyun, and he has not been found yet, and no one can find him, Senior Brother Liu suspects that you killed him. ”
Zhang Yan nodded, but she could understand.
However, understanding is understanding, and she still feels very unhappy to be monitored and followed by these two people.
Yan Zhuo on the side smiled silently, but quietly opened the mental force field and searched Ning Meng's memory to see if she was lying.
After checking his memory, Yan Zhuo withdrew his mental force field, and the corners of his eyes soothed a little.
Ning Meng didn't lie.
Yan Zhuo looked at Ning Meng, his voice was gentle, and his words were sharp:
"The whole Bohai City is a zombie, and now even survival is a problem, so many serious public security problems are happening at the same time, and there are too many problems to deal with...... But you are still holding on to this case, what are you trying to prove? Prove you right? ”
Ning Meng smiled bitterly and shook her head vigorously:
"After all, we are criminal police, what can we do if we don't handle the case? There's always something to be done by us. Although I also don't think it's necessary to escalate this matter to this level at all...... But ......"
She looked at Zhang Yan and was a little apprehensive:
"Zhang Yan, it's true that you killed Liu Gengyun, right?"
Zhang Yan didn't have any expression, and asked lightly:
"What would you do if I confessed that I killed you?"
Ning Meng clenched her fists, and her delicate brows furrowed:
"I ...... Will pretend not to hear. You saved me just now, I believe you are not a bad person, Liu Gengyun's incident is at most just manslaughter when resisting. ”
At this moment, a man's voice that made Zhang Yan feel instinctively disgusted came from behind him-
"Ning Meng, you can pretend you can't hear it, but I heard it. Zhang Yan, sure enough, you killed Liu Gengyun. ”
Zhang Yan had already discovered Liu Mang's approach, but she really didn't want to see his face.
Liu Mang's face is very thoughtful and righteous, but he always holds Zhang Yan tightly, which makes Zhang Yan feel that his face seems to have become much uglier.
She didn't want to continue making up lies, so she frankly admitted:
"I did kill it. And then what? ”
Liu Mang stared at Zhang Yan with sharp eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
He stood there, carrying a long knife dripping with blood in his hand, without any further movement.
The two looked at each other for a full minute.
Zhang Yan's eyes were calm.
Liu Mang's eyes were deep.
A minute later, Liu Mang finally spoke:
"I know you killed it, and my judgment has always been correct. However, I don't have any evidence to prove that you killed Liu Gengyun. I just saw Liu Gengyun's corpse with my own eyes, and I thought that finding the corpse would prove that you were the murderer, but it turned out to be ...... But the corpse exonerated you completely. ”
Hearing Liu Mang's words, Zhang Yan, Yan Zhuo, and Ning Meng had different expressions and were wonderful.
Zhang Yan narrowed her eyes, showing a hint of confusion.
Yan Zhuo hooked the corners of his lips and smiled warmly.
Ning Meng rushed to Liu Mang happily and hugged Liu Mang's arm-
"Wow! Thank you, Brother Liu! ”
Liu Mang glanced at Ning Meng, and there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes.
When he raised his head again and looked at Zhang Yan, his expression was serious and annoying:
"I found Liu Gengyun's body and an unnamed male corpse discarded in a basement, and judging from the corpse's reaction, both of them died within an hour."
After a pause, Liu Mang's eyes were like knives, and he seemed to have some regret and resentment-
"Killing outside the safe zone is not under our control. We maintain order in the safe zone, so, Zhang Yan, even if it was the two people you killed just now, you are innocent to me. ”
Zhang Yan nodded and said plainly:
"Got it. I hope you don't bother me again. ”
Seeing Zhang Yan's attitude so cold, Liu Mang's eyes were not good, and he snorted coldly-
"But! If I catch you in the safe zone next time...... I wouldn't let you go so easily. You were weak before, but now that you have the ability and become strong, I will not tolerate you again. ”
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and didn't say another word.
However, this man named Liu Mang became a little more pleasing to the eye in Zhang Yan's eyes at this time.
It doesn't seem so hateful.
At this time, Yan Zhuo suddenly walked up to Liu Mang with a smile and asked for help:
"Officer Liu, we are separated from our companions, can you take us to find them?"
Liu Mang glanced at Yan Zhuo deeply, and when he looked at Yan Zhuo, his eyes were not aggressive, and became very peaceful:
"Absolutely, it's our job."
As he spoke, Liu Mang asked Yan Zhuo in detail what his two teammates looked like and how they got separated.
Knowing that the lost teammates had the name "Bailan" among them, Liu Mang was obviously stunned, and his brows furrowed.
For some reason, Liu Mang's tone was a little sour:
"There are four of you? Just two Adepts? Good luck. ”
He thought that Zhang Yan and Bai Lan were superpowers, and Zheng Ziye and Yan Zhuo were ordinary people.
But Yan Zhuo's next words made Liu Mang even more stunned-
"All four of us are Adepts. With the exception of Bai Lan, all of them were abilities that they got in the past few days. ”
"Four Abilities...... You're in luck. ”
Liu Mang's eyes were full of envy, but also with a hint of jealousy.
At this time, some of the crystal nuclei obtained by the army going out to hunt second-level zombies were sent to the criminal police team building.
As long as they can get the ability as a criminal policeman, they can better manage the security in the security zone.
Liu Mang and Ning Meng both ate two crystal nuclei, but they still didn't get the ability.
Unexpectedly, these four ordinary people came out to take risks, but they just lost their way, but they all got abilities.
Luck is such a thing...... You can't compare to people.
After feeling unbalanced for a while, Liu Mang sighed and began to look for the place where Bai Lan and Zheng Ziye were trapped according to the appearance of the building described by Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo.
Liu Mang and Ning Meng are both natives of Bohai City, who have worked and lived in Bohai City for more than 20 years and are very familiar with various terrains.
Soon, they took Zhang Yan and Yan Zhuo to find the familiar building.
Although Guo Zhigang used the maze card, but the maze card can only change a small part of the things, Zhang Yan came to the building again, and saw that the arrangement of the buildings around him had changed, but the appearance of the building had not changed.
The vicinity of this building was clean, there was not an ordinary zombie, but there was a smell of blood.
Zhang Yan walked into the community and tried to call out the names of Zheng Ziye and Bai Lan.
A few seconds later, on the third-floor balcony of the residential building in front of Zhang Yan, someone waved at Zhang Yan, and Bai Lan's voice came from there-
"We're here! We'll be down right away! ”
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
A few minutes later, Zheng Ziye and Bai Lan walked out of the building.
It wasn't just the two of them who came out, Zheng Ziye also had a child in his arms.
The boy looked to be only three or four years old, a beautiful and lovely boy, but he was too thin and seemed to have not eaten anything for a long time.
Zhang Yan looked at the little boy, and the little boy also looked at her, his eyes watery and silent.
Zhang Yan pointed to the child and asked Zheng Ziye:
"What's the matter with this kid?"
Zheng Ziye is serious:
"Because I've waited too long for you, Bai Lan's child and I are three years old."
Zhang Yan pouted and made a verdict on this cold joke:
"It's not funny."
Zheng Ziye nodded, thoughtfully, perhaps summing up the lessons of this failure.
Bai Lan smiled and explained:
"He heard the sound of us killing a second-level zombie, so he slammed the door and asked us for help, and we saved him."
