The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

Blood soaked a corner of the vellum paper document bag. Flash Dance. The man wearing only a dark racer-shirt on his upper body took off his goggles with one hand, shook his loose hair, and glanced at the contents of the paper in the sunlight shining in from the window.

"Captain, is this what you want?" Regular, well-behaved, uniformed subordinates stood aside with their heads bowed.

"Yes and no. The above statistics are too old, and the personnel structure here has changed too much in the last two or three months, and it is basically of little reference value. The man rubbed his fingers over the neatly arranged intricate text, and asked, "Are they already in place?" ”

"Rest assured, you were contacted by her three minutes ago. Now the city's power and communication network is actually in our hands. ”

"Good. She's still so efficient. The man glanced back at his subordinate and suddenly smiled, "It's south here, and it's more than thirty degrees outside." Aren't you hot? ”

"Article 23, except in special circumstances, it is not allowed to wear civilian clothes during the performance of duties."

"You're pretty good at memorizing, and it seems that you've been punished for copying the code before, right?" Sweat rolled down his skin non-stop, and the man picked up the corner of his vest with two fingers and fanned the wind, and raised his chin with a smile, "Raise your noble hand, don't report me." ”

"No, it won't." There is a brown scar at the corner of the subordinate's eye, which is not long or short, and the mental outlook of the whole person is obviously much older than the age directly shown by the appearance, "But I still recommend that you put on the complicated outfit that is issued on it." After all, we're facing a special group of enemies this time, and these new equipment will help increase our survival rate. ”

"If the ability is not enough, will technology make it up? It's good. The man bent down and pulled a few clips out of the jacket he had left in the corner and stuck them in his trouser pockets, "It's also because the people above are just getting used to this new home, and a lot of the mess that was built in the past can't be made out of the materials on this planet." Otherwise, where is it our turn to fight, we can just put a few thousand indestructible machines and wipe this place casually - just like they used to fight for a small island and only end up blowing up and sinking their neighbors by the way, how convenient it is. ”

"It's time to refresh your perception of the technology department. Most of the weapons of the past can now be replicated on this planet, and the reason why they can't be put into the battlefield on a large scale is because of the high cost. Dead people are more cost-effective than plane crashes. The subordinate corrected him with a serious face.

"Why, you have to disagree with me today, don't you?" The man didn't look angry, "Or is it that a veteran like you is nervous before the battle?" ”

As it is written in the textbook, as long as a soldier has the courage to stare at the corpse of the other person when he kills for the first time, he will not tremble when holding a gun for the rest of his life." The subordinate paused, but said bluntly, "I just want to remind you that after today's incident, there may be no turning back on our relationship with humans." ”

"There will always be a day between us and them, sooner or later. Either continue to live together on thin ice, or die happily together, aren't these two situations the only ending? The man patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, if we turn back now, we will be dealt with by military law." How, are you ready to join me in the glorious role of the sinner of history? ”

Behind the two of them, the city's symbolic "mayor" and several "councillors" who actually control everything here are forever frozen in the scene of the meeting around the round table. On the yellowed wallpaper, bullet holes and blood stains stained the precious famous paintings. The crystal lamp smashed into the ground turned into a pile of reflective glass slag, like a reef with a jewel-like glow in the blood water.

"It's almost time, isn't it?" The man's finger tapped the delicate dial on his wrist, "Inform our lieutenant that at three o'clock, I will accept the results of her recent hard work in human language." ”

"Understood."

-

After the absolute silence, a high-pitched, shrill electric murmur suddenly came from the headset. As soon as Ling Shucheng frowned and put this little thing back in his pocket, his shoulder was pinched vigorously.

"Look up and look at the big screen hanging outside the mall." Qiu Pingning withdrew his right hand, pointed at the position diagonally upward, and muttered to himself with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the signal base station?" Last time, I told the deputy captain of the guard about this, poor communication is the most likely thing to cause panic, and I should check all the aging wiring before the summer......"

Black-and-white snowflakes filled the curtain that covered an entire glass wall. During the time period when salarymen have basically officially started their afternoon work, a few classic old movie clips are usually inserted between commodity advertisements, attracting many idlers with no spending power to gather around to receive artistic edification, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a change of direction to add a little popularity to the business district that cannot be immediately discounted.

"Do you do that a lot here?" The uneasiness in my heart became even stronger, as if some potential threat was about to emerge. Ling Shucheng stared at the huge screen tightly, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to make a hole in it.

"Anyway, it's not the first time that this kind of sudden signal has happened......" Qiu Pingning said halfway through, covering his mouth and yawning heavily, and said lazily with physiological tears in his eyes, "Look around, aren't everyone's reactions quite calm." ”

Ling Shucheng's mind repeatedly replayed the words that Bai Ji had only had time to leave in half, shook his head with a calm face, and tried to comb through the noisy sounds that his ears had captured.

While a couple was excitedly exchanging their thoughts on the short film that had just been shown, a widowed elderly woman was sitting next to them with crutches in her hands, silently reciting the name of the person who had stood with her fifty years ago to watch a movie for free. After passing through the noisy drumbeat that haunts the shopping street, the school bell flutters in unison over the tall buildings.

Three o'clock in the afternoon. The hot wind was still singing about the arrival of summer, but a large thick cumulonimbus cloud had accumulated on the hill on the south side of the city. In Qiu Pingning's curious gaze, Ling Shucheng looked around left and right as if he couldn't help it, and his pursed lips seemed to be pressed against something.

"Maybe it's just a short trip, aren't you a little too nervous?" Qiu Pingning couldn't help but disturb this former water city army dignitary with a worried face, "Why, it's not a bit of a malfunction in other people's machinery when it is heated?" Even my kettle occasionally runs out of electricity. ”

"No, it's not. There is absolutely no problem with the equipment around us, and the signal transmission and reception are all normal. Ling Shucheng didn't explain the basis of his judgment to him, but only asked a little eagerly at a higher speed, "Your main base station here...... Or is it something like that, where is the location? Is there a special person to take care of you? ”

"What's there about this kind of thing that deserves 'special care'?" Qiu Pingning's face was puzzled, "If I'm not mistaken, it's probably in a building in the south of the city......"

"Take me there." Ling Shucheng looked into his eyes seriously, "Immediately." ”

"What the hell is wrong with you? Did you get a little traumatic stress disorder from what happened on the original ship? Qiu Pingning was a little amused by his overly serious attitude, "But it's all in this business, and it is inevitable that there will be some problems in this regard." Actually, I know a good psychiatrist......"

"It's too late to explain so much." Ling Shucheng knew that it was very difficult for a person who was not familiar with him to understand his leapfrog thinking in a short period of time, so he could only continue to urge dryly, "My intuition has saved my own and others' lives countless times, please believe me." ”

"Intuition?" Qiu Pingning raised his eyebrows, and was about to tease him a few more words, when he noticed that the noisy voices around him suddenly amplified several times.

"The screen seems to have been restored! The estimated signal is also ......"

"Wait, my eyes aren't very good, what's rolling on it?"

"What is it to solicit clues from the general public...... Wanted murderer of the public murderer of a six-fingered citizen? ”

The voice that was originally beautiful suddenly changed tone. Qiu Pingning's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly squeezed away a few people who were in the way, and occupied the position of the flower bed with the best angle.

On the black screen, white text and neatly arranged ID photos are scrolling alternately. Despite his recent severe sleep deprivation, his eyesight is still very good, so there is absolutely no possibility of misreading.

Maybe something was wrong with his brain's comprehension? These lines weren't what he thought they were?

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Qiu Pingning's face became more and more blue.

"You want us to hand over the murderer of the six-fingered citizen within an hour?" After a long list of swear words, he grabbed all the loose hair back on top of his head, puffed out his eyes and turned his head to ask Ling Shucheng loudly, "You still put this kind of news in a public place and scroll it, are they crazy?" ”

"It's not crazy, it's a definite threat. What's more, they don't specify who the killer is, but instead refer to the group of 'gifted'. A rare cold sweat oozed from Ling Shucheng's forehead, "As far as the current situation is concerned, the communication network in the city is already under their control. ”

"Damn, what's the matter, I'll call the bureau right away......" Qiu Pingning just took out the headset, and slapped his head in annoyance, "By the way, the communication is broken, I'll run back immediately!" ”

"You wait." Ling Shucheng pulled him back, "Looking at the photo above, do you think a few people look familiar?" ”

Qiu Pingning was almost stumbled, and Ling Shucheng's hand, which didn't look strong, was surprised for a moment, and then said perfunctorily: "It seems to be." Anyway, you keep looking at it here, and I'll have to go back and let you know as soon as possible......"

"No need to be notified, all the electronic devices in the city that automatically receive signals are now playing this, and there is still an audio version." Ling Shucheng continued to listen intently to the sound leaking from several headsets around him, "It's a female voice with inaccurate pronunciation, it is estimated that it is a ...... from the six fingers."

Before he could finish his words, a low female voice suddenly came out of the screen that was originally just silently scrolling text: "...... Repeat again. The above citizens have confirmed that all of them were killed in the suburbs outside the city in the early hours of last night, and according to the known information and various traces left at the scene, the murderer can basically be identified as one of the 'gifted'. In view of the fact that the prisoner is likely to choose to hide here temporarily, and the threat is extremely high, and the method of committing the crime is extremely cruel, we will personally lead a team into the city in an hour to investigate and arrest the suspect. We also ask the majority of peace-loving human friends to cooperate with our actions and refrain from taking drastic measures to interfere and resist, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings......"

Qiu Pingning's inhaling voice became louder and louder, and finally he couldn't help but throw away the headset he was holding in his hand, crushed it with the soles of his feet, and suppressed the fire and whispered: "What does this mean?" Threaten us with the method of deducting basins? Damn, which boss is in charge of this screen? Turn off the electricity for me right away! What a thing! ”

"Look at the second row, the two pictures on the far left." Rushed a few steps away by the panicked crowd, Ling Shucheng had to raise his breath to increase the volume when he spoke, "It's the owner and proprietress of the barbecue restaurant last time, do you remember?" ”

-

Wearing a pair of short jeans that were almost thigh-level, the young girl stood under the air vent of the central air conditioning, still sweating from the heat.

"Isn't it like grabbing land? It's still so literary. Occupying the advantage of height, she looked down on the street below through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The dense crowd spread like ants along the streets with thick blood vessels. Satisfied with getting by for a long time, these guys even seem to have forgotten how to write the words "be prepared". The girl shook her head with a pout, probably sighing in anger.

She took out half of the cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth, used her index finger to shoot out a small wisp of orange flame out of thin air and slowly lit it, then squinted and leaned against the window.

Isn't this too female hooligan? She winked at her reflection on the glass, and continued to listen patiently as the alien woman in the headset repeatedly conveyed a "declaration of war" in a sense.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Smoke rings wafted out of the window. She slowly stretched her tanned arms and whistled out of tune.

Seconds later, the flames of the explosion lit up her dark brown eyes.

"Oh, sure enough, there is a trick." The girl looked in the direction of the firelight, "Civilized people are trouble, and if you want to kill someone, you have to direct and act yourself first." ”

After a deliberate silence, the mechanical alien female voice in the headset finally brought obvious anger.

“…… We would like to warn you once again, please stay calm and do not make senseless resistance, so as not to bring more misunderstandings......"

The continuous explosions are like a salute to release emotions. The girl brushed her hair and threw the annoying headset out the window.

By the time they hit the ground, the tiny electronic components had turned into a charred black mass of dregs.
