Chapter 30: Suicide Squad
Battalion Commander Wang took Yu Xiaofei and others to a conference room on the second floor, pushed the door and walked in, it was full of smoke, and there were already many people seated.
Sitting in the right seat was naturally Cheng Yuan, his brows were furrowed, a huge ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, and he was still holding a lit cigarette in his hand at this time.
The first person sitting on Cheng Yuan's right hand side was Ah Hong, still looking cynical, Erlang's legs were raised high, and when he saw Yu Xiaofei and others coming in, the corners of his mouth went up, revealing a mysterious smile.
Sitting opposite Ah Hong was Head Zhang, who was sitting there upright, like a straight pine, meticulous, with a serious expression, and he couldn't see anything unusual. Sitting next to Camp Commander Zhang was the bald man Li Hai that day, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and it was only after Yu Xiaofei and others came in that his eyes opened slightly, but then his eyes were closed tightly again.
Sitting next to Ah Hong was Yuan Ziyi, dressed in purple, but his long black hair was not tied into a ponytail today, but was coiled behind his head like a cloud, and his eyebrows were full of sassy and heroic. Yu Xiaofei and Jack. Ding, Zhang Jiang, and Wang approached the long table and sat down on both sides in turn.
"It's almost all here." Cheng Yuan took a big puff of cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, spit out bursts of smoke, and reached out to rub his somewhat sore forehead.
"Huh? What about the man in the cloak yesterday? "Jack. Ding said curiously.
"I haven't been able to find him since yesterday's fight, and I have sent people to search the whole city, but there is no news." Head Zhang said.
"If you can't find it, you can't find it." Cheng Yuan took out another cigarette, smacked the cigarette handle on the table, and said, "I summoned everyone to come here in such a hurry today, even if I don't say the reason, I think everyone can guess one or two, at about 3:50 today, there was a sudden large-scale power outage outside the city, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, everything was dark, and now the people of the whole city are in a great panic, thinking that this is the deepening of the catastrophe, and they feel that the earth will fall into greater danger!" If it weren't for the head of the regiment Zhang and the deputy city lord of Zhou to come forward to calm the emotions of the people, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Cheng Yuan stopped and looked at everyone, lit the cigarette, took a puff, and continued, "I don't know what you think about this situation?" ”
"Naturally, the power system has collapsed, and it has been more than ten days since the world became like this, and it is a miracle that this power system can persist until now." Ah Hong said casually.
Cheng Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter, his fingers regularly tapped on the table, and he didn't speak.
"I don't know what the city lord's plan is?" Yu Xiaofei asked.
"I'd like to set up a team to go outside and find out the main cause of this power outage. I ......"
"No way!" Before Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Head Zhang, who was sitting on the side, "I don't agree with this idea, it's just nonsense!" Whether the power system outside collapses, whether it is dark or not, has nothing to do with our Red Fire City, although I don't know why, but Red Fire City seems to have a unique energy source to carry it, and it doesn't need the support of electricity at all! ”
"Lao Zhang, don't get excited, this is just a discussion, after all, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to send someone out to investigate, maybe the truth of this power collapse and the arrival of the end times are also inseparable, and now the people outside also need an explanation."
Battalion Commander Zhang stood up suddenly, "Just because of a guess, we want our soldiers to die?" Everyone knows that it's pitch black outside, and there are a large number of unknown and powerful monsters hiding in it, who should be chosen for this team? Who wants to go? ”
Cheng Yuan touched his head awkwardly, "I also know that this makes you very embarrassed, Ah Hong, why don't you talk about it?" ”
"I'm not interested in being on that suicide squad." Ah Hong also lit a cigarette for herself, looking like a hanger.
The words Suicide Squad made the atmosphere a little cold.
"City Lord Cheng, to investigate the cause of the power collapse, I would like to go and investigate." Seeing that everyone was silent, Yu Xiaofei said.
"Huh?" Cheng Yuan turned his head to look in Yu Xiaofei's direction with some surprise, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, but I have one request."
"Don't say a request, as long as I can do it, even if it is ten thousand, I, Cheng Yuan, will do my best to meet you."
"I hope I can choose the composition of this exploration team!" Yu Xiaofeidao.
Yu Xiaofei's request that was not a request made Cheng Yuan surprised again, he had already prepared to open his mouth to Xiaofei Lion and make many unbelievable and unrealistic requests, but he never expected that Yu Xiaofei would only make such a small request.
"Of course, this exploration team is all about you!" Cheng Yuan was a little overjoyed, "You really deserve to be the champion of the competition, I didn't misunderstand you!" ”
Even Ah Hong looked at Yu Xiaofei curiously at this time, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yu Xiaofei's gourd.
The sound of the palm and the table colliding violently suddenly resounded in everyone's ears, and following the sound, they saw that there were cracks on the table in front of Captain Zhang, and Captain Zhang was standing there with an angry face.
"Nonsense!" Camp Commander Zhang glared at Xiao Fei angrily, "You know what? You're kidding your own life! It's pitch black outside, why do you dare to say that you want to go out and investigate the cause of the power system collapse? ”
Yu Xiaofei was about to speak, but was interrupted by the deafening voice of Head Zhang, "You are committing suicide!" Suicide! ”
Yu Xiaofei: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I know it in my heart. ”
"There are a few farts!" Camp Commander Zhang was furious and even cursed with swear words, "I admit that you are very strong, but your ability should be used in more critical places, instead of going outside to fill the bellies of those filthy monsters!" ”
Cheng Yuan interjected: "Lao Zhang, with Xiao Fei's ability, those zombies outside can't help him, even if they meet powerful monsters, they can't beat them, they can always run back." ”
Yu Xiaofei looked relaxed: "Head Zhang, there are some things that no one wants to do, but someone still has to do it, right?" Since no one wants to jump out and probe the cause of the collapse of the power system, then I am willing to be the forerunner! ”
Camp Chief Zhang stood without saying a word, and then left the conference room alone.
"Okay, Yu Xiaofei, then it's hard for you!" Cheng Yuan patted Yu Xiaofei on the shoulder, "Just mention what you need, the personnel will pick which one to choose, remember, the task is only secondary, life is the most important, safety first!" ”
"I understand." Yu Xiaofei nodded.
Then everyone left, Yu Xiaofei and Jack. Ding and Zhang Jiang returned to the hotel. Although Ding and Zhang Jiang were puzzled by Xiao Fei's actions, they did not question it, and the three of them took a rest to make final preparations for the next day's exploration.
And Yu Xiaofei already had a list of this trip in his heart.
