Chapter 50: Intercession
Niu Niu's room is closed on all sides, with two single beds, and a standard witness protection room.
Niuniu entered the house and closed the door with her backhand, and said to Ke Junxia bluntly: "Please let her go." ”
Ke Junxia replied very simply: "Impossible!" ”
Niu Niu accused: "Is it interesting to exchange other people's lives for money? ”
Ke Junxia said: "You are biased in what you say, but in fact, life is more valuable." ”
"You!" Niu Niu resisted her anger and prayed instead, "She is my only friend, and she saved me." ”
Ke Junxia said: "Many people have saved you, but do you only think you should be grateful to her?" ”
Niuniu didn't know what to say for a while, indeed, she was able to live until now and recover her health, not only because of "her", many people have contributed, and even the people from the hospital research society, but can this feeling be the same?
Ke Junxia continued: "Actually, what you should be thanking the most is your parents, they broke their hearts for you, because most of the energy was put on you, and your father's company was about to go out of business. ”
"He deserves it!" Niuniu suddenly came out with such a sentence.
Ke Junxia felt that to this extent, it was already related to Niuniu's family affairs, and this was not within the scope of his commission. Then he said, "Your private affairs are not in my charge, but one thing may be as you like, and I have always been in favor of taking her alive, and I will do my best to do so, even though she has killed my mother." ”
Niuniu saw Ke Junxia mention the family feud, so she had to mutter: "Then it's better to kill her, you don't know what the people from the Medical Research Society have done to her." ”
Ke Junxia felt that it would be a waste of time to continue talking like this, it seemed that Mr. Feng was too spoiled by this daughter before, so that she still couldn't tell what family affection was and what love was. So he said to Niuniu: "You tell the coconut and them specifically, tomorrow they will ask you for a detailed record, what do you think and what you want, you can also say it when the time comes." ”
Ke Junxia was about to go out after speaking, but when Ke Junxia walked to the door, Niuniu, who had been in a daze, suddenly pounced and pushed Ke Junxia violently, but Ke Junxia's body was like an iron pillar, just shook slightly, but Niuniu sat on the ground instead.
"You're so cold-blooded! You don't know what love is! Niu Niu sat on the ground and scolded.
Ke Junxia was thinking about whether to help her up, when he suddenly felt the ground shake, and after a short pause for half a second, it was another one, but the strength was greater, and even Ke Junxia was a little unsteady on his feet.
Niuniu panicked, she held on to the edge of the bed with one hand, trying to stand up, but she didn't succeed, so she pushed the disaster on Ke Junxia's head again, crying and shouting: "What the hell are you doing." ”
Ke Junxia pulled her up and dragged her to the side of the closet.
The furniture here is fixed to the wall or floor, and is very sturdy, and if it collapses, it will form a triangular safe area.
Ke Junxia used his body to protect Niuniu, and said at the same time: "No one is a ghost!" There was an earthquake. ”
"What's going on! Isn't it going to die? The ground shook, and the power suddenly went out in the house, and Niuniu was really scared in the dark. But she didn't know that Ke Junxia was more scared than her now.
Since the geological problems caused by the sewage lake, the metropolis has been experiencing small earthquakes, but the closer you get to the upper city, the smaller the tremors are felt, and they are almost invisible; The people in the lower city are busy making ends meet all day long, and they have long been accustomed to the slightest shaking, and as for the sewage town in the hard-hit area, the people there are originally waiting for death, and they don't care anymore.
However, the magnitude of the earthquake suddenly intensified, and the Special Investigation Bureau was located between the upper and lower districts, and the tremor was already extremely strong. Ke Junxia is worried that the end of the metropolis will come early, so room 405 will have no meaning of existence, and no one will pay for it.
The shaking did not stop, the door was kicked open again, and the coconut staggered in and shouted, "Xiao Ke! How are you? ”
Ke Junxia responded: "Here, safe." ”
Coconut pounced on the sound and used her body to protect Ke Junxia and Niuniu at the same time, but she was too involved in protecting and hugging too tightly, causing Ke Junxia to almost suffocate to death by her tropical fruits. But at the same time, it warmed his heart - she still cared about me anyway.
The earthquake actually lasted less than 40 seconds, but this time became the longest and most fearful 40 seconds in many people's lives.
In the room, the vibration had stopped, but Coconut still held Ke Junxia and Niuniu, Ke Junxia moved his body slightly, and then whispered: "Sister Coconut, it seems to have stopped." ”
The coconut said "um", then let go of the two, looked around to check the damage in the room, looked around, and when he looked down at Ke Junxia and Niuniu, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Director Ke, aren't you going to let go until now?" ”
Ke Junxia realized that although he felt very calm and soberly let go of the coconut, he was still only holding Niuniu, and what was even worse was that one of his hands was still grasping Niuniu's very sensitive place, no wonder it felt so good.
Although Ke Junxia let go of Niuniu like an electric shock under the size of a coconut, Niuniu's face was already flushed, and girls are generally more sensitive than men, but this time, for some reason, she didn't resist Ke Junxia's "lightness" in time.
In this case, it is meaningless to apologize, it will only aggravate the embarrassment, so Ke Junxia pretended to be fine, stood up, and said to Coconut seriously: "Look at how the others are." ”
Coconut said, "They'll be fine." ”
Ke Junxia said: "Check the situation outside, if it doesn't work, withdraw to the square." ”
Coconut nodded, Ke Junxia was about to take the opportunity to leave, but Niuniu suddenly said behind her back: "Mr. Ke, count me begging you, let her live." ”
Ke Junxia actually made a "hmm" sound, and then buried his head and left. And Niuniu only thought he agreed, and actually laughed happily. As everyone knows, whether a man is intentional or unintentional, as long as he feels that he is wrong, he will always say something to make amends, even if this promise will never be fulfilled.
The casualties caused by this earthquake were not large, and the entire metropolis only suffered forty or fifty casualties, and most of them died from falling from buildings and falling objects from heights, but because the casualties were basically concentrated in the lower city, and the disaster reduction administration of the metropolis made another mistake, the result made this earthquake a watershed for the metropolis, and since then the metropolis has become more and more chaotic day by day, until the day of the end comes.
Probably just to reduce panic, the Metropolitan Disaster Risk Reduction Committee announced to everyone that the earthquake was just an accident, and that everyone should take care of their health and do not sleep on the streets, and similar situations will not happen in the short term. As a result, at about 4 a.m. that night, another aftershock occurred, which, although of a small magnitude, completely ruined the credibility of the Disaster Risk Reduction Committee, resulting in houses and unoccupied, street squares filled with tents, and urban order spiraled out of control.
Ke Junxia went to work at the Special Investigation Bureau the next day, and found that even the spacious square around the Special Investigation Bureau building was densely packed with tents, and in addition to ordinary citizens, the Special Investigation Bureau also set up temporary offices, and more than half of the people moved to crowded tents.
Although Ke Junxia was also worried that the end would come in the past few days, he was not nervous to this extent, so he still came to the underground office, and only got the key back yesterday, and went to live in a tent today, which was a pity.
But someone came earlier than him, Lin Quan.
"You're just in time." Lin Quan saw Ke Junxia come in, and said directly: "Now there are two great opportunities, but there is also a big difficulty. ”
Ke Junxia said: "What is an opportunity and a difficulty, one by one." ”
Lin Quan said: "There was an earthquake yesterday, and today everyone went to the square to set up tents, but the warehouse can't be moved for the time being, because the administration of the bureau has been panicked in the past few days, so it has become easy for us to approve and allocate materials." ”
Ke Junxia nodded and said: "It's really good news, if we can allocate a little more, we can buy a little less, after all, when it is first built, we have to save flowers." ”
Lin Quan also said: "The special-shaped squadron in the bureau has withdrawn from the Special Investigation Bureau in a formation, and they have left a lot of equipment that they can't take away. ”
Ke Junxia was stunned: "The alien squadron is leaving?" But I thought to myself: Could it be that it is also a rat on a sunken ship? Looks like a crisis is looming.
Lin Quan said: "Now it's a problem, now people are panicking, they are avoiding shocks, workers are not easy to find, but the opportunity must not be lost, if you want to do it, you have to do it for a few days." ”
When it comes to manpower, Ke Junxia thinks of Coconut and her teammates, but unfortunately they are all girls, although they are all good hands, they are not necessarily good workers.
Lin Quan continued: "Another point, the situation is so bad now, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, we should contact Mr. Igo now, and according to the agreement, we will get back the two-week advance office fee first." Because the Metropolitan agreed to pay the money in gold and silver currency, it took at least three people to go with them to ensure safety on the road. ”
Ke Junxia said: "Now we are indeed a problem with manpower, but I can accompany you to receive this money." ”
Lin Quan said: "According to the safety protocol, you also need a person with a gun empty-handed. ”
Before the words fell, another person came in at the door, it was Hao Qiying, as soon as he came in, he said to Ke Junxia: "Director Ke, everyone else has moved out to work, why are you still here, this is a basement, in case ......"
Ke Junxia smiled and said to Lin Quan, "How about this?" ”
Lin Quan said: "I don't know enough, but it should be no problem to carry the suitcase." ”
Hao Qiying didn't understand the cause and effect, and asked in a daze: "What box?" ”
Before Ke Junxia could answer, suddenly the loudspeaker on the top of the office sounded a sizzling electric current, and his face suddenly changed.
The hunters of the Special Investigation Bureau are a loose organization, and they usually fight in their own hands, each earning their own money, and they have more privileges than ordinary citizens. But the privilege is not given for nothing, the hunters are also the militia of the metropolis, because the metropolis as a merchant city does not have a regular army, and the special investigation bureau also takes on certain military duties. So in the Special Investigation Bureau, almost half of the offices are equipped with such radio horns, which are used to assemble forces in times of emergency.
But the regulations are like this, Ke Junxia has been in the company for almost three years, and it is the first time he has heard the horn sound, and sometimes looking at the dusty radios, Ke Junxia even suspects that they have long been broken.
But now the radio answers Ke Junxia's questions with its own excellent quality.
"Please note, please be careful, all hunters who hear the announcement, please bring all your weapons and equipment to the square to assemble, there is an emergency, there is an emergency. Please note, please note that this is not a drill. ”
Ke Junxia looked at Hao Qiying, the muscles on the latter's face twitched indistinctly, and he was afraid.
Hao Qiying thought about it, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Ke Junxia: "Director, we are not in the square, so we said that we didn't hear ......."
When Ke Junxia came to the office this time, he was going to decorate the office well, so he brought some things from his home and lockers, but he didn't expect to catch up with this stubble, but it's okay, at least he doesn't have to rush around looking for equipment.
So Ke Junxia opened the carrying bag, put on the combat waist seal, inserted the double-barreled short *** into the holster behind his back, and the pistol was loaded.
Hao Qiying saw that Ke Junxia was already preparing, and it was not good to be too bad for the sake of his job, so he gritted his teeth, pulled out his pistol and loaded it, his face full of grief and indignation.
Ke Junxia checked the double-shot self-defense pistol used by his mother, filled two more rounds of ammunition and handed it to Lin Quan and said, "You stay and watch our belongings." ”
Lin Quan nodded and took the gun and said, "You have to be careful." ”
"Let's go." Hao Qiying said. At this point, the second replay of the broadcast has begun.
Ke Junxia said to Hao Qiying: "You stay to assist Lin Quan, it's not easy for us to have this bit of belongings, it's better to have an experienced person present." ”
"Chief Ke!" Hao Qiying looked very moved, and she was about to cry again.
"Cut, what kind of person, when my mother was alive, I always watched this kind of crying and crying old movies, and I hid every time." Ke Junxia said as he inserted the pistol into the holster and walked out.
