Chapter 80: Longing
"So, the one who took Zhao Qian away was a white-skinned woman with two knife arms?"
"Yes! The bat called her Mantis, and I saw her attacks and movements, and she did look like a mutant who had been injected with the mantis gene. Wu Zi stood across the desk and told the truth of the matter.
"Hmm~" Chen Quan, who was in deep thought, couldn't help but tap his index finger on the solid wood desk. "Did she do anything else special, like kill our warriors?"
"No, she just killed a lot of brothers at the beginning, and then she leaned against the protective wall to watch the battle, but it seems to be ......"
"Seems like what?" Chen Quan hurriedly asked.
"Oh! That's right! She had snatched Captain Li Wei's silver magic gold pen before, and she was smiling wildly, as if she was very happy! Takeko recalled.
"That's right...... Okay, you go down first, if you have any other questions, come back to me! ”
"Yes, oh yes! There is one more thing I forgot to mention. ”
"What's the matter?" Chen Quan raised his head and looked at Wuzi opposite.
"It was Captain Yuan Hong who gave me a large amount of contribution coins after I cleaned up the battlefield and counted the casualties, saying that it was used to compensate for the soldiers who died in battle and were seriously injured! He also asked me how Captain Li Wei's injury was, if his arm couldn't be cured, he would go to Lao Zhao of the Weapons Department to make a prosthetic leg, and he would pay for it! ”
"Looks like he wanted to open it after that! Okay, I know, you go to the finance to receive 500,000 contributions, plus Yuan Hong's, and compensate the brothers below. ”
"Yes! Thank you Corps! After Wuzi saluted Chen Quan, he went out.
"Wade, what do you think about this?" Chen Quan turned his head to look at Wade who was sitting on the sofa.
"It's hard to say, from Lilith and Wang Wu's statement, the two people who attacked on the other side should have nothing to do with the strange beasts that we let us exterminate this time, after all, one side is a mutant, and the other side is indeed a mutant beast!" Wade touched the ring on his left ring finger and looked down in thought.
"Not necessarily!"
"Oh? Do you have a different opinion?! Wade raised his head and looked at Chen Quan in the office chair.
"From the actions of these two intruders, we can obviously know that our team has their mole, and being able to understand our defensive loopholes so well shows that this mole has a very high status in our team."
"But this only means that there are moles, and there is no way to prove that they have anything to do with this large-scale invasion?" Wade couldn't help but interrupt his reasoning.
"Don't worry, listen to me! This time, the two of them were able to control the time so accurately, and while most of the high-level leaders of our team went out on a mission and our two left-behind captains Xiaodao and Yuan Hong were seriously injured, they attacked and kidnapped Zhao Qian in one fell swoop, I think it should not be as simple as having a mole in our team. Otherwise, when we went out to exterminate and resist a large number of mutant beasts, how would the one called the praying mantis know that we couldn't pull out our hands and come back? ”
"Maybe there were also traitors in the team that followed us out at that time to contact them at any time?" Wade retorted.
"Even if there are traitors who cooperate with them inside and outside, how can we explain the large number of mutant beasts besieging us?" Chen Quan got up from his seat and walked to the window to look at the building downstairs, "Those mutant beasts are obviously controlled by someone, if it is just a simple large-scale attack, our people will not suffer heavy casualties!" It was because someone was manipulating them behind the scenes that when we announced our retreat, the two intruders who attacked Lilith also fled. ”
"And at the same time, the mutant beasts that attacked us also retreated when Lilith contacted you. I'm sure you know that! ”
Wade, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but nod.
"So all things considered, it's not hard for us to imagine. There is a different force that exists outside of our three factions! ”
"Other forces!?"
"Not bad! Other forces! They do not belong to our Protectors or your Protectors, and if they do not kill us on a large scale when they are able to do so, it can be concluded that they do not belong to those destroyers who have lost their conscience! ”
"Coupled with the news we got from the mouth of the Chilian snake who was captured alive by us before, it is not difficult to know that these two intruders are the other two small leaders of the organization in her mouth. And they all have the same goals. ”
"You mean Zhao Qian!?"
"Yes, it's Zhao Qian!"
――――――
Bright yellow basement.
Seeing the heavy stone door in front of him being pushed open from the outside, Zhao Qian couldn't help but stop stepping forward with his right foot, and then retracted again.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The door opened, and the praying mantis was the first to come in through the aisle, "You're awake!" ”
"Ahh yes, I'm awake, it's okay, you see! After speaking, Zhao Qian raised his right hand to show the praying mantis as if offering a treasure, as if he was afraid that she would lie back by himself again.
"It's okay, Dr. Zhao, it's all my fault, there is no way to discipline you, and you have suffered!" From behind the praying mantis came a thick and deep middle-aged man's voice.
Zhao Gan, who didn't notice much behind the praying mantis, couldn't help but be stunned. "Ahh Sorry, I didn't notice you, you're ......"
"I'm the person in charge here, you can call me a skeleton or a white bone!" A middle-aged man wrapped in a black cloak walked out of the dark passage where there was no light, and the praying mantis gave way for him and stood aside respectfully.
Carefully observing the man named Bai Gu two or three meters away, Zhao Qian found that no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any exposed parts of his body, including his face, and even his hands were covered with a pair of black opaque gloves. And the reason why Zhao Qian guessed that he was a middle-aged man was completely from his voice.
While Zhao Gan was observing the other party, Bai Gu was also observing him, as if he knew Zhao Gan's thoughts, Bai Gu moved his limbs under the robe, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to see you with my true face, but I'm afraid that you will scare you when you see my true face, so I deliberately found such a large cloth robe to cover myself." ”
"Ahh Uh, that, it's okay, I'm also a person who has seen some big scenes, even if you have two heads, I won't be afraid, you don't have to be so wronged yourself. "Zhao Qian thought to himself, no matter how terrifying you are, can there be a group of people watching me on the right hand side of the horror?
"Hehehe, compared to the two heads, it's still my appearance that is more terrifying. Spider! ”
"Yes!" The spider on one side hurriedly crawled to Zhao Gan's side.
"Take these little guys, go out immediately, and gather around here, it's completely to scare our guests!"
"Understood, let's go out." With that, the spider waved his slender tentacles around. The strange people who were watching strongly around walked out of the door one by one. It's not okay if you don't line up, the door is only three meters high and wide, and many of the big guys in these mutants stand taller than the door, such as the centaur, when he goes out, he still bends over and twists the horse's butt to go out!
After waiting for a while, until only himself, the praying mantis, the spider, and the mysterious white bones were left in the room, Zhao Qian felt comfortable and couldn't help but exhale.
"I'm really sorry, Dr. Zhao, you must have been scared by them, right?" Listening to Bai Gu's words, the praying mantis couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, although I don't know why they keep staring at me, but that doesn't stop me from getting to know them."
"Oh? Know them? Bai Gu couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, although it was my first time in your place, I guessed from the mantis's words that you needed my help."
The praying mantis, who was standing beside Bai Gu, couldn't help but raise his slender and good-looking eyebrows after listening to Zhao Gan's words, and Bai Gu also nodded his head secretly.
"When I woke up, the spider stayed by my side and watched me, and I was wearing a pair of metal gloves." After speaking, he pointed to the large disc beside him.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhao, I don't want to hurt you either, my eyes are a little short-sighted, and if I don't look closely, I can only see a red humanoid silhouette of a heat source. When I got close to you, I was so excited......"
"It's okay, I was careless, I didn't blame you." Stopping the spider's apology with his hand, Zhao Qian walked to the side of the bed and did it, "To be honest, I was really taken aback when I saw these mutants. Because, although I am a biological genetic researcher, I have never had the opportunity to see so many strange mutants at once. ”
"I suppose there are more mutants like this here with you, right?" Zhao Qian looked at the white bones in the black robe.
"You're right, this is just the tip of the iceberg here!" Looking at Bai Gu and nodding his head, Zhao Qian couldn't help but sigh.
"More than 1,000 years ago, human civilization was indeed on the verge of being destroyed by that worldwide catastrophe."
"But after that disaster, the surviving human beings have once again copied the previous civilization, and even worked harder to develop, so that our technology, education, and life have undergone earth-shaking changes!"
"Where there is change, there is deterioration! At least over the years, I have seen too many wicked people in my biological comprehension, and I have also understood too many evil things. I don't know who you are and what your purpose is for looking for me, but I am not blind, I can feel that you have no ill will towards me, plus the way they looked at me just now, it is the most primitive longing, you are eager for my help, and even eager to be saved! ”
"Praying mantis, white bones, if you have any requirements, just say it, as long as it is nothing about the moral bottom line, I can agree!"
