Chapter 42: Rescue
Wandering on the land called Terra, the development of a mobile city is like building blocks, piecing together land ships that serve as bases to increase the size of the city.
Although the method is good, it is a pity that it has shortcomings, and with the increasing number of land ships, its different internal structure has led to the city base becoming more and more labyrinthine, and some facilities have become a place that everyone talks about and never wants to set foot in.
For example, sewage systems.
Having forgotten to make a few turns in the ankle-deep sewage, Zhao Xi's breathing apparatus unconsciously became damp, making him feel very uncomfortable. "Doctor, haven't you arrived yet?"
"I don't know," the sound muffled in the environment, and the Man in the Iron Mask reached for his flashlight again, checking for any marks on the passage. "Anyway, Longmen doesn't even have a monitoring system, and it's really heart-wrenching..."
"Uh, that's it." Hearing this, his cheeks were slightly red, and Xingxiong, who was following behind the two, hesitated for a moment and responded: "The Guards Bureau has applied for it before---
"Lack of funding or staffing, or conflict of interest with the establishment and authority of other departments?" The second half of the sentence that the ghost daughter had not yet spoken, the man who did not look back smiled: "Anyway, the result is certain, we can't get any support from Longmen Baidao now, we can only rely on ourselves~~"
"What do you know, Longmenโ"
"Be quiet, mother monkey, you want to change the way you want to integrate the movement, don't be so obvious." Interrupting Long Niang's speech, Zhao Xi quickly found the mark left by the forerunner. "There."
It looks like dirt that has accumulated over time, and the palm-sized pattern is drawn on the corner of the wall, making it almost impossible to spot at first glance. Crouching down to observe for a moment, the doctor quickly made a silent gesture to the group.
"At the intersection ahead, the other party is carrying weapons, and the hostages are with them."
"Where's the quantity?"
"Eleven people, two magicians."
It is a matter of human life, and even Chen Huijie, who has always been unruly, kept silent with a cold face. Standing consciously at the front of the line, Zhao Xi, who was in a hurry, quickly caught the sound beyond the current.
The movement of shoes in the water, and the crying and conversation of people.
Thinking about the broken bones are mostly with them, Zhao Xi, who has been blown up enough by the latter, did not dare to be careless, showed his weapon and lightened his steps, and the young man slowly approached the sound of the wall, and finally found the target at the next intersection.
More than a dozen members of the Integration Movement, pushing and shoving civilians twice their size, were walking deeper into the passage, and whenever a civilian cried or expressed resistance, they would greet them with their fists and shoes to make them obedient.
"It's too much." I don't know when I slipped to Zhao Xi's side, and someone who saw what the enemy was doing gritted his teeth, but Zhao Xi, who sensed that something was wrong, suddenly grabbed his arm. "What do you want to do?"
"Save them, of course."
"There are remote-controlled bombs on the hostages, can you kill them all in an instant without harming the innocent?" glaring at the other party fiercely, Zhao Xi ignored her dissatisfied gaze and pushed Chen Huijie to the back of the line. Through the dim lighting of the waterway, he carefully observed the infected, and his eyes quickly fell on the leader.
The black tactical suit, black shorts, black cape with hood, and black stockings that the doctor remembered were exactly the same as the broken bones in his memory, but the clothes and pants of the person concerned were intact, which made him suspect that this was not him, but a trick of the tanuki to change the prince.
Regardless of whether she is true or not, defeat it first, don't worry about those details, and confirm that the other party is holding a controller in her hand, Zhao Xi quickly informed the rest of the team of the situation.
"Breaking in will definitely not work, as long as they use the hostages as a shield, we will throw a rat trap and have to let them go." Seeing that Chen Huijie was still not convinced, the doctor hurriedly added: "Beauty, maybe you can really destroy everyone with one blow with all your strength, and don't let them detonate the bomb..."
"But if I'm not mistaken, the range of your moves is not small, not to mention that it is easy to get injured by mistake, but if it affects the wall or pipe, it is easy to have an accident, isn't it?" Seeing that the anger on the other party's face gradually disappeared, the doctor turned his attention to Zhao Xi.
"Brother, you're better at tactics, do you have any good advice?"
Do you leave the choice to me, seeing that the other party is not joking, Xingxiong and several other Guards Bureau agents who are traveling with him also look like they are listening to each other, Zhao Xi looked at the doctor after a little thought and said, "Can you order 'her' to make a move?" โ
------------
"Woooooo
"Don't cry, little brat!" Impatiently giving the other a slap in the face, the masked man pushes the little girl with red and swollen cheeks to keep her going. "As long as you are obedient, I will let you go back when the time comes."
"Don't be so violent, she's infected." As if she couldn't get used to his approach, a female infected person next door adjusted her mask and persuaded her: "Everyone has the same disease and should help each other." โ
"The infected people in Longmen are treated much better than Ursas." The man at the head of the line broke the silence and joined them in the conversation. "Wearing a collar, not being able to work in the city center, living in quarantine... In our opinion, this so-called 'discrimination' is nothing at all. โ
"Ivan, I know you're a little jealous, but Xiao Zou's words are not unreasonable, it's no good for us to hurt the hostages, control your emotions a little."
"Alright, Captain." Waving his hand impatiently, the man motioned for the other to move on. "Say less, broken bones won't be like you, don't show your stuff."
"Cut, that's what you haven't seen him look like in his spare time, it's even more ---!? than W" A wary gaze shot from behind the mask, surveying the dimly lit waterways, and the small infected took a suspicious step forward. "I seem to hear something..."
Before the word could be spoken, the person concerned threw his head back and fell into the sewage like stepping on a banana peel. Noticing nothing out of the ordinary, the nearest sorcerer smiled dumbly and stepped forward to help the other man up.
Then he experienced the same experience as 'Broken Bone', slipping and falling to the ground on his back, his body convulsing inexplicably.
Once it was a coincidence, twice it was inevitable, and realizing that the situation was not good, the infected took the hostages as meat shields, formed a ring and drew their weapons. Just as they were looking for anything suspicious, a white arrow from the waterway shot in, knocking the sorcerer to the ground before he had time to dodge.
"There!" The unusually eye-catching energy beam allowed the members of the integration movement to capture the location of the sneak attacker, shouting a warning while the ashes used crossbow arrows and Molotov cocktails, and everyone was facing forward, but they also relaxed their vigilance around them.
It's not a long time, but it's enough for Ruper, who lurks in the ceiling.
Falling like cotton wool, the silver-haired woman stood up silently, pulled out her dagger and clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes locked on the infected who were still shooting into the depths of the passage, unaware.
