Chapter 124: See Liu Zheng at Night
Night falls.
Liu Zheng sat alone in the tent and frowned. He regretted that he had followed his pampered cousin since childhood. He wanted to complete this task quickly and go back to the errand. But this unserious cousin actually had a whim, and he had to try to shoot people. The survivor who looked like he had come to ask for help was gone.
There have been two outbreaks of the virus in City A, is it that easy to find a survivor?
has been in officialdom for many years, and he doesn't understand anything. My aunt and uncle are very shrewd people. The search for Dr. K was timely. Qi Shaofeng is the only son of the two. I'm afraid the most important thing is that my aunt and uncle have got a little inside information, and they want to take the opportunity to pave Qi Shaofeng's future career.
But in this way, if Qi Shaofeng recklessly messed up this operation, then his efforts in front of his aunt in the past two months would be in vain. Nowadays, it seems that the odds of such a scenario are too great.
"Ugh."
Liu Zheng sighed in his heart. He unconsciously played with the teacup in his hand and frowned unconsciously: "Fortunately, I didn't find the child's body." But just in case he's not alone. Tell the other survivors about it......"
The more he thought about it, the more chilling he became. Survivors are hard to find. In case it really lets the other survivors know that the troops are shooting the survivors wantonly. Then this mission is really hanging.
Without survivors, there are no clues. Without clues, where can I go to find that mysterious Dr. K?
Thinking of this, he missed Fang Wanqu's old partner a little. It's a pity that Fang Wanqu escorted him to N City and was transferred. If Fang Wanqu was by his side now, he might have found a clue to Dr. K. At least you won't encounter such a bad thing.
He drank the already cold tea in the teacup in one gulp, and got up to refill the pot of tea. At least I have to get a charter tonight, and I'll discuss it with Camp Commander Lan tomorrow morning. As for his cousin Qi Shaofeng, he didn't count on it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the marching bed with blazing eyes.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he has been in the officialdom for so long, and he quickly calmed down. However, when he saw the person's appearance clearly, the mood that had just calmed down immediately set off waves.
"It turned out to be you."
Liu Zheng walked quickly to the marching bed, and opened his hands to give Lu Li a hug. Lu Li raised his hand to block his outstretched hands, and stood up expressionlessly.
"Mayor Liu, we're meeting again."
When Liu Zheng heard Lu Li's tone, there was a taste of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and his heart suddenly chuckled: "It's bad, that kid is really his person." β
"You guessed it right."
Lu Li took a step forward and stood in front of Liu Zheng. By this time, he had already jumped up in size. Standing in front of Liu Zheng, who was only 1.7 meters tall, he looked directly into Liu Zheng's eyes condescendingly, and snorted coldly in an unkind tone: "Your people...... Oh no, it was your cousin who shot and wounded my guy and almost died. β
Forced by Lu Li's eyes, Liu Zheng subconsciously took a step back, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat while making amends.
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding......"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked one thing. Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt creepy, and he took several steps back as if he had seen a ghost, until he hit the table.
"You...... How do you know what I'm thinking? β
A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Li's eyes. He avoided answering, and then explained his intentions: "I don't want to pursue your cousin's injury to me this time. I just wanted to remind you not to enter the city lightly. It's not as simple as you think. β
Liu Zheng has been the mayor of City A for a few years, and subconsciously asked: "What's the situation?" β
"Zombies have evolved."
Lu Li explained briefly, and then walked outside, and sneered: "Anyway, don't venture into the city and it's fine." That's it, believe it or not. β
Liu Zheng was stunned. Seeing that Lu Li was about to walk out of the tent, he hurriedly ran forward and grabbed Lu Li: "Okay, okay, listen to you." I only have two questions for you. β
"What's the problem, let's hear it."
Lu Li stopped and turned around. As soon as Liu Zheng saw that he was willing to listen to him, he hurriedly pulled him to the table and sat down.
"Are you Dr. K?"
"It's not."
Lu Li answered cleanly and decisively, so that Liu Zheng's later words were all rotten in his stomach. He smiled bitterly, got up and walked to the side to make a new pot of tea, and then returned to Lu Li and sat down. While pouring tea for Lu Li, he complained of bitterness with a sad face.
"City A is ruined by my hands. I am a sinner through the ages in City A. I never deny that. But there are still thousands of survivors across the country. They are innocent. The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't just human. If not Dr. K, at least someone he knew. Such talents can't be buried in the people. He should be able to play a greater role if he is funded by the state. I beg you, let me see him. β
When Lu Li heard this, he raised his hand expressionlessly and interrupted him: "I'm sorry, what's the other question?" β
"Uh......"
Liu Zheng choked for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses. He pushed the teacup to Lu Li's side, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Since you don't want to help, I won't force it." Come, take a sip of tea first. This is the best Tieguanyin. β
"Not necessarily."
Lu Li pushed away the teacup and sneered: "I have to explain two points. One, I came this time to see that you were pretty good before, and I don't want you to throw your life in City A in vain. Two, I haven't forgotten your cousin...... Hmm, it's the kid named Qi Shaofeng who almost killed my people. He only needs to dare to step into City A. I don't guarantee that he won't be sniped. β
Liu Zheng heard Lu Li's tone so resolute, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead. At this point, there's nothing left to talk about. I originally wanted to envelop this young man and find that Dr. K indirectly. Outcome...... He shook his head with a wry smile and sighed in his heart.
"Cousin, cousin, I was killed by you. How should I explain to my aunt when I go back? β
In the midst of depression, a sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Li's mouth, and he got up and walked outside the tent. When Liu Zheng saw it, he hurriedly got up and stayed: "Don't ...... Don't go, let's talk about it again. β
"What else do you want to talk about?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Li's eyes, and he sneered, "Want to take Dr. K? I don't know what you're doing in such a hurry to find Dr. K. But I'll give you one more free sentence. Dr. K has made all of his research findings available to the public. β
When he said this, he hesitated slightly, and then added again: "After mastering the human enhancer and the evolutionary theory, zombies are no longer the opponents of humans. Instead of going to Dr. K, it is better to concentrate on these two things. That's all there is to say, and there will be no time in the future. β
With that, he turned and walked out of the tent. Liu Zheng hurriedly chased out of the tent, but there was still a figure outside. At this time, a soldier came from not far away. When he saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Did you see a man coming out of my tent just now?"
The soldier looked left and right blankly, and asked suspiciously, "Besides you, is there anyone else?" β
Liu Zheng was speechless. With an impatient wave of his hand, he dismissed the soldier and turned back to his tent. He walked over to the table and sat down, staring intently at the cup of tea on the table. After a long time, he suddenly realized that he slapped the table lightly, and his face showed a hint of understanding.
"He must be an evolutionary. Dr. K might be him. No, we have to tell the battalion commander SΓΉlan about this news, and ask him to arrange for people to go into the city tomorrow and find him. β
He just got up, then sat down again. There was a hint of worry between his eyebrows, and he said to himself, "But he said that the zombies in the city have evolved...... It's true? Or is it deliberately intimidating me? β
He's struggling. Both hands began to play with the teacup unconsciously. After thinking for a long time, his face became more resolute: "Whether it's true or not, I have to make this trip." Even if you put the whole camp on board, you have to find that Dr. K. β
Thinking of this, he immediately got up, drank all the tea in one gulp, and then walked out of the tent and went to find Camp Commander Lan. Not long after, he found Camp Commander Lan in the temporary warehouse. As soon as they met, he immediately held Camp Commander Lan's hand tightly and pleaded bitterly.
"Lao Lan, you must help me this time."
Camp Chief Lan is no stranger to Liu Zheng. He was stunned by Liu Zheng's actions, put down the quartermaster statistics table in his hand, and looked at Liu Zheng with a suspicious expression.
"Mayor Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Zhengshen smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "I found a clue about Dr. K." β
Camp Chief Lan's eyes lit up suddenly. He looked left and right, and then pulled Liu Zheng to a remote place, and asked eagerly, "What?" Tell me about it. β
"Dr. K's men found me just now."
"What about people?"
"Gone."
ββ¦β¦β
Camp Chief Lan was immediately angry. He complained stupidly, "Why did you let people go? β
Liu Zheng spread his hands and replied depressedly: "People are evolutionaries, what can I do." β
"Evolver?"
Camp Commander Lan was stunned and asked, "Is that the kind of evolutionary person on the radio?" β
"Hmm."
Liu Zheng recalled Lu Li's elusive ability, and sighed with envy: "I've seen it with my own eyes." Evolvers are like superpowers in the movies. He walked out of the tent on his front foot, and I couldn't find him on my heels. That's a lot better than you. β
Camp Commander Lan smacked his lips, his face unbelievable. After a while, he came back to his senses, and then looked at Liu Zheng with a strange expression: "Do you want me to take someone to the city to find him out?" β
"Hehe, you are worthy of being your old Lan, smart."
Liu Zheng smiled and gave a thumbs up to Camp Commander Chaolan. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Lan spat thick phlegm on the ground and categorically rejected his plea.
"No, I can't. We've only been here for three days. The surrounding situation has not yet been figured out, like daring into the city? No, absolutely not. I will not risk the lives of my brothers in the camp until the situation is investigated. β
Speaking of this, he felt that his tone was a little inappropriate, his tone eased, and he persuaded bitterly: "Mayor Liu, it's not that I refuse to help you with this." It's just that being greedy for merit and making rash advances is a taboo in the army. Why don't you delay me for a few more days, and I'll promise to help you find that Dr. K, can you?" β
"This ...... All right. It's all up to you. β
Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. After a few small talks, he took his leave. When he was far away, a trace of cruelty flashed on his face.
"Old Lan, don't blame me. If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. If someone else finds that Dr. K first, I won't be able to keep the black gauze hat on my head, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life. β
Immediately, he walked straight to the tent where Qi Shaofeng was.
