Time passed quickly, and it was six o'clock in the afternoon. The Spices called the time after six o'clock the evening, which is said to be the custom of their ancestors, when the ancestors were still living on the earth, on the dome of the world, the lights were turned on punctually at the first six o'clock every day, and the second six o'clock was turned off on time, and the ancestors called the two hours after six o'clock respectively day and night, which was used for work during the day and entertainment and rest at night.

The Spices had never seen the dome of the world, nor had they seen the first six o'clock turn off the second six o'clock to illuminate the world - Spice's perpetual motion lamp was always on for safety, and it was said that this would provide a certain degree of protection against the invasion of mutated creatures - but this did not prevent them from carrying on the customs of their ancestors, so from the generation that first settled here, the distinction between day and night, along with the twenty-four hour timekeeping method, was passed down by word of mouth. The time between the first six o'clock and the second six o'clock on the clock is called daytime, and the time from the second six o'clock to the first six o'clock of the next day is called night. Twelve hours during the day are spent on study and work, and twelve hours at night are spent on recreation and sleep.

"But for the security forces, it's just a 24-hour day."

Outside the ruins of the school occupied by earthworms, Blair, an uncle who had just exchanged posts with the captain of the second team who was in charge of standing guard, looked at the groups of workers who were getting off the construction site on the main road of the town in the distance, shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Speaking of which, I finally found an excuse to escape from Sophia's grandmother, the old man's condition has been a little worse recently, and next month I will go to the Yingxi Hospital in Yingxi Town, opposite Yongdao, to bring more sedative medicine to the old man to see if it can get better...... Until then, the old man will look for ...... first," Blair pinched the bridge of his nose and thought for a moment, then cried out, "Thunder! ”

"Here!" Ten meters away, a white fat boy with a security team epaulette answered when he saw his boss shouting to him, and then trotted over, "Captain, you call me something?" ”

Blair remembered that this fat white boy was seventeen years old, and when he went to the construction site a year ago, he saw that he had some brute strength and honesty, and he had been assigned to be the coordinator of the east end of the town some time ago...... It's time for this kid to do something for me. "I ask you, is the captain nice to you?"

"Okay." Although the fat boy is fat, he has two sweet dimples on his face when he laughs.

"......" saw the fat boy's smile, and thought of the arduous and honorable task he was about to entrust to him, the uncle's face did not change, but his heart twitched slightly, thinking, this lovely fat man, I picked him back then, it was definitely the most correct thing I ever did. The tone of command that came to his lips also changed to an inquiring tone, "Then can you help the captain do something?" ”

"Okay." A short and powerful reply, and the standard Lei Chubby smile that is still two dimples, but behind this smile is the second half of the little fat man's words, "It's easy to say anything except to help take care of Grandma Sophia." ”

"......" Uncle stared at the little fat man with an expressionless face.

"......" Lei Xiaopang looked back at Blair with a bright smile.

"Let's go back to the guard."

"Hey, okay." The little fat man twisted his ass and ran back again.

"Tsk, this man is honest and does his duty."

I really picked him back then, and that's the thing I regret the most in my life...... I regret it more than I promised Mr. Hyde to let Garcia's bastard boy be the leader...... A hundredfold.

A hundred times is really a modifier that the Spices like to use.

……

The duty of the security team is to protect the safety of the town and maintain the stability of the town, for these two responsibilities, since the first time Mr. Hyde, who is now on the runaway, formed the security team into two squads, each team is led by a captain of the town, and he thinks that the most suitable five people are formed, and the two teams are formed by a common security team leader - now Garcia has been led by Teacher Hyde before, and he patrols and helps in the town in different time periods. It has always been a six-hour and six-hour rotation system for one team and two teams to ensure that each team has more than six hours of rest time a day, but the so-called rest of the security team is just a change of place to work, for example, the first team stands guard around the town to guard against possible invading mutant creatures, and the second team conducts visits and investigations around the town to solve the incurable diseases of each family, and the work of the two teams in the next six hours is just a change. What, you ask to sleep? Oh, of course, in fact, there is no explicit rule on the rules and regulations that the security team must conduct investigation visits and help the people in the town solve problems, and the members of the security team can go home and sleep well while they are in charge of this task, but ......

“…… After all, they are all from the same town, and we can't do nothing if something happens to anyone's family, not to mention that many of them have deceased relatives who died in the struggle to defend the settlement! Teacher Hyde's words made countless young people who were bitter and tired Spice settle down to do things well, and only occasionally squinted in the corner when they were idle, and over time, Teacher Hyde and his security team were respected by the whole town, and generations of security team members also remembered their mission.

"With great power comes great responsibility."

This is one of the most common phrases spoken by Mr. Hyde. He said that it was the words of a very famous person in an ancient book he had read, and that it didn't matter if it was famous or not in ancient times, but in today's Spice, it is definitely a phrase that the members of the vigilantes regard as a holy message, and it is still framed on the wall of the sheriff's office at the east end of the town.

"Who called me the captain......

Poor Blair finally sighed and accepted the fact that he would have hours a day for the rest of the month to face Sophia, who treated herself like a three-year-old baby.

"Think better, Blair, it's only been less than ten days, and ten days later he will still be a good man!"

The uncle's face was so relieved, and his mood finally improved. So he began to lead the security team to inspect and supervise the two earthworms in the ruins of the school for the second time today, and pay attention to the movements of the two big guys in the school area at any time.

Bullair and the rest of the vigilantes preferred to refer to the two uninvited guests as meat worms rather than earthworms, because they fit the name meat worms - at least in Blair's opinion. Blair, who lives in Spice and is accustomed to eating poor calorie compound food, has not lost his belief in the pursuit of rare food, on the contrary, after he heard Mr. Hyde talk about the delicacies eaten by rich people outside the town when he was a child, he was full of craving for the meat and juice of various mutated creatures - when he was a child, he even drew a special book of underground country recipes, in which all kinds of strange and unseen creatures and meats were combined, tsk, we are inconvenient to mention these black histories, But if you really want to calculate it, from the time the uncle entered the security team to the present, in the past five or six years, he and his companions have eaten more than a dozen big-toothed ants that entered the town, although the taste is relatively unpalatable, but in the eyes of Blair, who has eaten too many scumbag and tasteless synthetic calories, it is tantamount to a new experience for the taste buds.

However, this time, the food seems to be relatively large in size and lethality......

Blair had never seen a mutant creature as big as these two big guys in his life for half of his life, and two days ago when he was on duty, he passed by the basic school where Garcia's teachers were teaching, listening to the sound of the teacher in the classroom and the sound of children reading aloud, suddenly there was an unusual louder and louder sound from the wall next to several boxes belonging to the school, and as soon as he looked up, a crack appeared on the wall that spread from a point to the center.

At that time, he didn't know that it was an earthworm, but his uncle's intuition told him that there must be a problem, so he quickly gathered the members of the security team, and together with Garcia and a total of three teachers in the school, led more than 100 students from the school to evacuate the scene quickly. It was not until the adults rushed back to school that they found that in the crack that had expanded into a large hole, two large brown-gray flesh worms with large faces and three or four people lying horizontally and end-to-end were rolled out of the cracks.

Two large flesh worms twisted and rolled out of the hole, and then into the pile of boxes in the school.

"There's something good to eat." That was Blair's first thought. Then he picked up the waist knife he carried with him and was about to enter the school to find the earthworm and cut it a few times, but was stopped by Garcia, the leader appointed by Mr. Hyde.

"Don't act rashly, this is an earthworm." Garcia said with a solemn expression, "Teacher Hyde said it to me when he was still there. ”

Earthworm, remembered, when I was seven or eight years old, I heard once that there was a meat worm in the town that was a little smaller than these two. At that time, Mr. Hyde was still in the town, and the security team was full of old people from his father's and grandfather's generation.

"Earthworms have a strong ability to regenerate, and when attacked, they behave violently, and their honor hurts people nearby. I see that these two earthworms are already injured when they fall into Spice and have no strength, so I might as well watch them first, and then I will go back and see if there is any way to solve these two big guys at once. ”

"By the way, the children will all go back to rest these days, and the school will not be able to go to school, you see now."

So Blair understood, and blocked the entire school with the captain of the second team, Shan, and the two teams took turns to look at the two big meat worms entrenched in the school for a moment without interruption, but fortunately, these two injured earthworms did not continue to be the cause of trouble, but they all looked quite safe. At least for the past two days, judging from the heat source sensing scanners equipped by the security team, the big red dots representing the two large earthworms have been in place all the time, at most slightly offset, similar to the feeling of turning over while sleeping.

"Andrey, how are the two big meat worms doing right now?" After taking a sip of water to relieve the dry mouth caused by an afternoon of visiting the village to help the villagers solve problems, Blair turned his head to ask the veteran team members who were squatting on the ground and fiddling with the detector.

"Captain Hui, everything is normal, the two big meat worms are the same as yesterday and the day before yesterday, there is not much movement." Andrei, a small veteran member who was squatting on the ground, laughed.

Blair also laughed, "That's good, it's good to be peaceful, so that we have a little more time to prepare." By the way, Garcia just sent us another big bag of his knick-knacks......"

"Captain, do you really believe that those little things in the leader can kill these two big guys?" The little man smiled noncommittally.

"Face work still has to be done, after all, it is the team leader hand-picked by Mr. Hyde, although the teacher is gone, but everyone still has to listen to his orders, right?" Blair also smiled, and then shook his head, "What's more, people are also teachers themselves now, even if they don't lead the team, your own children will be sent to basic schools to learn basic knowledge in the near future, right?" ”

"That's right." The little man shook his head and continued to observe the situation in the pile of boxes in the school. "And who was assigned to do the bomb arrangement this time?"

"I originally wanted to go over by myself, after all, it's not safe, but Lei Xiaopang felt that he had made fun of me before, and just came over to apologize, so he resisted the bag by the way, and at this time it is estimated that it has been placed according to the drawings given by Garcia."

"Oh? Which positions were there again last time? ”

"No, this time it's A4, C5 and F3 on the west side near the door."

“A4C5F3…… I'll take a look......" The little man squinted his eyes and looked for it on the detector, "Ah, I see, there is a little fat man's heat sensing ...... in the A4 position"

"Yo, Lei Xiaopang is quite fast." Blair duly expressed his surprise.

"That's, after all, it's the task given to him by the team leader...... Wait a minute! Not good! The little man's voice suddenly became bitter.

"What's wrong!?" Captain Blair chuckled suddenly.

"Those two big guys moved! They seem to have spotted Chubby and moved towards Chubby! ”

"Hell!" The uncle's face was shocked, and he threw the kettle in his hand and ran towards the school. As he ran, he pulled out a small long box from the waistband of his pants and yelled inside, "Fat Thunder!" Here's your captain! Hear it, hurry up! ”

"What's wrong with being so anxious and roaring, rushing to be reincarnated?" Lei Xiaopang's smiling voice came from the walkie-talkie, and people knew that they must have laughed with the standard smile of two dimples while talking.

"Come back, those two big bugs are coming towards you!

"What!?"

"Captain, that big bug has moved from B6 to A5!"

"Don't be stunned, run! Run back! Blair yelled over the walkie-talkie as he flew through the school gates and into the stack of boxes.
