"Didn't you say a good rest? Why did you suddenly assign me a task again, don't go, don't go, don't go, you can find someone else. ”

On the wasteland in the backyard of the ZC base, Xiu Qi sat listlessly on a small dirt slope, and behind him was He Bing, who had just found him and given him a task.

With the gradual stabilization of the current situation, the ZC organization began to make use of more idle resources, such an area of wasteland, in the past, at best, it was a useless place for the ZC organization to provide outdoor experiments or member activities, now it is different from the past, the lack of resources has also made the ZC organization have to put down its body, and transform it into a production base for various crops, although relying only on the food production here can not make the entire ZC organization self-sufficient, But it has also solved a considerable part of the food problem, and now it is the season when some crops are ripe, and with the scientific and technological support and cultivation of the ZC organization, the appearance here can be called 'thriving', which can be said to be a very rare scene.

Naturally, it is not just the scenery that has changed, and now many members of the ZC organization are no longer what they were at the beginning.

The slumped Xiu Qi sat there with his waist bent, completely lost the appearance of the eternal vitality of the four *** powers, Feng Che's death, for Xiu Qi, who has always regarded Feng Che as a friend and opponent, is definitely a heavy blow, not only the sadness and sadness caused by the death of his friend, but also the lack of such a person as Feng Che around him, but also made Xiu Qi experience the cruelty and helplessness of the last days again, and even, there are some panics and uneasiness that he can finally suppress in his heart in the early stages of the disaster.

The original five-person team, now he is left alone, the calm and venomous Feng Che, the lovely He Qing, the loyal Chen Zheng and the clever Shi Qiu, these companions who once regarded themselves as able to entrust their lives, left him one after another, and he was full of cultivation and could not do anything, maybe one day, he would follow in the footsteps of these comrades.

It is no longer the same cultivation as before, but this does not delay He Bing from putting him in his own position.

"You have to be clear about who you are and what you are in." He Bing, who was directly rejected, did not mean to be annoyed, and seemed to have guessed that Xiu Qi would give such an answer, He Bing said calmly: "Since you entered the organization and became a member of the organization, you have no right to refuse, this has nothing to do with your experience, it has nothing to do with your current strength, just because, your life is given by the organization, and you can sit here and talk to me, in the final analysis, it is also the opportunity given to you by the organization." So, I don't think you have any right to refuse orders from the organization. ”

"Take a step back." Before Xiu Qi could respond, He Bing continued: "Even if you really rely on the strength you have now, you are arrogant and have the idea of disobedience... Do you really think that today's organization is so weak that it can't deal with a single rebel? You don't have to look at me with this look, it's not a threat, I'm just telling you what is at stake, and getting rid of you may consume some unnecessary resources, but for the stability of the organization, these resources are an exchange that every senior executive will agree to make. Of course, all of this is based on your genuine determination to rebel against the organization. ”

Maybe Xiu Qi was really afraid of death, or maybe he had already begun to accept his fate, Xiu Qi finally withdrew his hateful gaze, turned his head to look at the dense crops in front of him, and said no more.

"Are you thinking, I have seen your decadent appearance, why do I insist that you go out on a mission?" Unexpectedly, He Bing walked slowly to Xiu Qi's side and sat down side by side with him: "Of course I know very well why you are like this. Feng Che that kid, although I don't like it very much, but I have to admit that during the time he was still alive, he had a fairly obvious impact on the morale of many members, maybe it could really be regarded as personality charm or something else, that guy's personality made him naturally a pistachio in the eyes of many people, or, 'friend in troubled times'? It can even be said that it is the spiritual pillar of some people. With a lively personality, a calm mind, and a strength that surpasses most people, such a person is indeed suitable for the role of a spiritual leader at the moment, and those who are affected by him can more or less benefit from the hope revealed by the tearing clouds under the doomsday that it brings, although slender, but bright and shining. The death of such a character who can be called a hero may be a big blow to many people, but it is even more serious for people like you who get along most closely with him and are most obviously affected, and even subconsciously, there will be a kind of negative self-suggestion of 'he is dead, how long can I live'. ”

Xiuqi, who was almost said to be in his heart, had to focus his eyes on the not too old man next to him again, and there was a bit of annoyance in his tone, as well as a little despair from the bottom of his heart: "Now that you know everything, what are you still looking for me for?" Thinking I'm going to die just outside this time?! ”

"No, no, no, you're thinking a little too negative." Seeing that Xiu Qi was excited, He Bing still had that calm appearance: "The organization naturally has its own considerations for the candidates who go out for missions, but in addition, in my opinion, this may not be a good thing for people like you, judging from your current situation, if you continue, sooner or later it will be a dead end, there is nothing to doubt - you, or you, need to make changes." ”

"Change?"

"If you continue to be decadent, do you think you can survive this disaster? You're not a kid anymore, you wouldn't have such naïve thoughts, would you? He Bing's expression finally fluctuated for the first time, and it was just a shameful smile: "Not to mention yourself, in the past, why did you pin your hopes on Feng Che, and on what basis did he have the obligation to bear the pressure of breaking through the desperate situation for you?" Although it's a little late to say these things now, but if you cultivate it, you are really embarrassed to live forever under the roof that others have held up for you? And then one day, you Xiu Qi died tragically at the hands of monsters, and finally recalled Feng Che's voice and smile, and calmly accepted the cruel reality without any pressure, which came down to the bullshit excuse of 'there was no hope from the beginning'? Is this last day just a place for you to constantly find support for yourself? You must know that you are now the top ranking in terms of combat power of the entire ZC organization! If you die in this way, even Feng Che will disdain to treat you as a former competitor! ”

After saying this, it was not a heartfelt word or a strategic fool, He Bing finally just dropped a sentence of 'think about it for yourself', and then got up and left, leaving Xiu Qi in place still in a daze, his eyes cloudy.

"Didn't you read today?" In the gloomy room, with a simple food and water in his hand, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xi Yingdu, who had empty eyes, in a daze on the bed as always.

"Sister Shui, you're here." Seeing the arrival of the light water, Xiying rarely squeezed out a smile, compared to the previous Xiying, now she is emaciated, her cheeks are deeply sunken, her lips are dry, her hair is scattered, and she has completely lost her previous capable temperament.

"I've been saying what I should have said to you for two or three times, it's not that you don't understand, but you can't listen to it at all." Looking at Xiying, who was no longer familiar with him, Shui Qing was angry for no reason: "You don't want to tell me what happened that day, Xiu Qi and Xi Si don't know the situation, and that kid Qu Nuo is even more silent about everything that happened that day, even so, even so!" Think about it for yourself, if Feng Che was still around, would that guy want to see you like this now?! ”

It may be that he heard Feng Che's name, or it may be that he focused on the word 'still', or maybe he even thought of the scene where Feng Che reappeared in front of him, but after years of tempering, Xiying, who should have been invincible, collapsed in an instant, burying his face that could no longer be emaciated deep in his arms, and the whole person trembled violently.

"Ugh."

In the past month, Shui Qing, who has been surprised by this, has already known very well, and now he has to let Xiying slowly heal his wounds, and he did not continue to speak irritating.

Hearing that someone was looking for her outside the door, Shui Qing had to let Xiying struggle alone on the bed, and saw Chu Li standing outside the house from the display screen next to the door, she was stunned at first, and then opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" Blocking the door, the water light face is not good.

"There are some tasks that I need to give to Nozomi." Chu Li still looked like that: "It's not a confidential matter, you can audit." ”

"Mission?!" Hearing this word, Shui Qing, who was not very calm, was like a woman who had just broken up heard the name of her scumbag ex-boyfriend, and instantly reached the edge of an outburst: "Are all the people above who make decisions blind or stupid?!" The one inside who looks like someone who can carry out a task? There's a limit to being stupid, right?! ”

"You're not one of those ignorant newcomers anymore, you should know better than me that the organization's orders shouldn't be so questioned by your own members, get out of the way."

In the face of Shui Qing's abusive questioning, Chu Li's attitude did not waver in the slightest, but Shui Qing, and the arrogance of standing up for his girlfriend was instantly extinguished, and he turned into a weak posture that was almost begging.

"You, you, with your current status, you should have the right to change the candidates for the mission, right? No matter how bad it is, you are qualified to make suggestions, right? Count me begging you, change someone, even if it's for Feng Che's face, even if it's such an opportunity that Feng Che's death won for Xiaoying, change someone.. Let her go! ”

Originally, Shui Qing's words at the beginning did not shake Chu Li at all, but when this man heard the last four words, Chu Li, who was going to ignore Shui Qing and enter the room directly, really stopped, and his eyes changed from resolute to hesitant in an instant, and then returned to calm.

Shui Qing didn't know if it was her own delusion, she always felt that Chu Li had a killing intent towards herself at that moment!

"For the sake of Feng Che's face."

In the end, Chu Li, who had been standing at the door for a long time, still left, and Shui Shui, who was still in place, didn't know what he and Xiying had gone through, let out a sigh of relief.

Walking around the corner of the corridor, Chu Li stopped, looking at the ceiling above his head that was like daylight, Chu Li said to himself: "Really force her to pass, in the end, the two of us will be in an endless situation, right?" Although I have no intention of making a living... Forget it, after all, I'm unreasonable, forget it. ”

At the same time, in many corners of the base, different people reacted differently.

"Captain, I always feel a little evil on this mission, this is inexplicable, why is it sudden..?" In a small conference room, Xing Qianli had his back against the wall, his arms folded in front of his chest, muttering as he chewed gum.

"I don't know if it's evil or not, in short, judging from the previous situation, the current City A has become too big a threat to those of us who are capable, don't be so careless, be careful!" Not far from Xing Qianli's side, Zhang Zongchen sat on a chair and glanced at the former, and sent him a 'friendly reminder' of being an old teammate.

"No matter what, the task is the task, our Molong team doesn't need to think about other superfluous things, everything is undecided outside, just see the move." Qi Yang, the captain of the Molong squad and the former No. 1 combat force of the ZC organization, stood in front of the conference table and said to his team members with a serious face: "Even if many capable squads are dispatched to this mission, we have to prove that at the moment, our Molong squad is still in the first position within the organization, which is absolutely unquestionable!" ”

"Yes!"

……

"Lao Jiang, your status is higher than mine, do you have any news about this mission?" In Jiang Long's room, Yu Qing looked at Jiang Long, who was sitting on a chair and was showing his strength against some white powder, but he still asked helplessly: "This is a task that suddenly came, City A, or more than a dozen capable people acting together, just saying that I don't believe it in order to 'get information'." ”

"Ahh Jiang Long, who was finished, seemed to be greatly satisfied, and let out a long moan. groaned, and did not rush to answer Yu Qing's inquiry, this man who is considered by many to be the number one master in the organization today because of his own ability 'absolute control', has a thin body, dark skin, and his appearance is not good, coupled with his special 'habits' and not very kind character, although he is strong and a small high-level of the ZC organization, whether it is an old man or a newcomer, there are few reasons to make friends with him.

"I don't know much more about the situation than you do." Coming back to his senses, Jiang Long was finally willing to speak: "The instructions given to everyone above are indeed such a general statement as 'reconnaissance intelligence', and the candidates, on the surface, seem to be the strongest group of people in the organization today, but the only additional news I know is that these candidates seem to be selected by the one named Chu Li, and I don't know if other things have anything to do with him." ”

"Chu Li."

silently recited the name in his heart, Yu Qing couldn't help but think of the hatred in his heart that he had a good relationship with before, Feng Che, when he thought of this name, Yu Qing, who had always regarded the film and television as his goddess, even had a little itchy teeth, but when he thought about it, he thought that this guy had already died, Yu Qing couldn't help but sneer.

……

"La-la-la, la-la, throwing knives to your head, la-la-la, la-la, close your eyes and don't be afraid, la-la-la..."

Su Chen, who was singing strange ballads, seemed to be in a very happy mood at the moment, but then again, he was always in such a good mood.

"Lala, lala, use me to kill people, lalala, lala, kill you carelessly, lalala, la, it's all your plan, I'm also your target, lalala, lala.."

The weird ballads, the weird melodies, and Su Chen's exaggerated clown costume, inadvertently, this clown seems to tell the fate of many people.
