Feng Qiang gave the order.

A large number of personnel forces were mobilized.

The situation is constantly reported and the deployment is constantly adjusted.

No target locations have been found in the northern part of Lincheng...... Continue your search......

No target location has been found in the western area of Lincheng for the time being...... Intensify your search efforts......

Three drones were destroyed during the search...... Immediately send out new drones to search and mobilize forces to check on the destruction site......

The front lines blocking the polluters are also continuing to send back information: the deviants are constantly appearing, storming the built defenses from various positions, and the risk of the defense line collapsing is increasing.

"Headquarters, support, immediate support, there are a large number of polluters in the 134 squad defense area, and there are many mutants ......"

"Squad 023 is fighting, lack of firepower, request for support ......"

"Deviant, deviant! In the 047 squad defense area, there are many mutants raiding, immediately support, immediately support......"

Information continues to be transmitted back to the official Trickster headquarters.

In the headquarters room, Feng Qiang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he thought for a moment, and used his mobile phone to order a new deployment: "Mobilize the first reserve, strengthen the search for the target location, mobilize the second reserve, support the front line, and delegate the authority of long-range fire projection, we must stabilize the defense line, and then find an opportunity to build the second defense line......"

After the delivery, I couldn't help but shake my head when I looked at the real-time picture transmitted back by the drone on the screen in the room.

The current situation is far from optimistic.

Li He in the room could also see this.

According to the current power in the hands of Lin Cheng's officials, it is difficult to resist for a long time in the face of the attacks of polluters and deviants, and it is necessary to find the target location as soon as possible, destroy the altar, and destroy the ritual...... Li He thought to himself, but the target location seemed to be very hidden, and it was not so easy to find...... Or, the target location may not exist yet.

After all, the video in the secret water polo shows that he only appeared at the target location on July 19.

It's the night of July 18th, and the target site may still be under construction, and the polluters and deviants haven't collected enough blood, so the ritual may not have started yet.

So, hold on for more than a dozen hours?

It's difficult...... Li He sighed slightly in his heart, and then turned his head to look out the window as if he had heard something.

Feng Qiang and He Tang also seemed to hear something, and turned their heads to look out the window together.

"Chirp-" Birds chirped outside the window.

Well? This is?

The three of them were wondering, and with a "bang", a bright red palm-sized bird slammed into the window.

The force was so great that it directly smashed the body, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, but the window glass also hit a crack.

"Bang!"

The same bird appeared again, slamming into the window again.

A second crack appears in the window.

"Bang bang bang!"

One after another, strange red birds appeared, slamming into the window one after another.

In the end, there was a "bang", the window shattered, and the birds rushed in, frantically attacking Li He, Feng Qiang, and Chou He Tang in the room.

"Damn, what the hell is this bird? It can't be heat, right? "Sorrowful He Tang complained.

"Be careful, there are quirks, don't get hurt by them." Feng Qiang said, the skin of his whole body turned stone blue, picked up the alloy battle axe from the side, and began to kill mercilessly.

"Of course I do." Sorrowful He Tang said, although he complained, the movements in his hands were not slow, he grabbed a long sword, and black mist gushed out of his pores to wrap the blade, swinging towards many strange red birds. When the bird was touched, its body shattered instantly, and its flesh and feathers flew wildly.

While he was on a killing spree, he turned his head to Li He and reminded, "Dean Li, you should also pay attention." ”

"Okay." Li He responded, his mental power condensed into a transparent battle armor, protecting his body, and the black umbrella stabbed out quickly like a sword, dropping one strange red bird after another. At the same time, under the control of telekinesis, twelve miniature darts flew out with a roar, piercing the bodies of one after another weird red birds, and the efficiency of destroying red birds was extremely high, almost comparable to the sum of Feng Qiang and Chou He Tang.

After a while, the three of them wiped out all the strange red birds that broke in, and the ground was covered with bird corpses.

Li He lowered his body and examined the relatively complete corpse of a strange red bird, and found that in the eye socket, a delicate branch the thickness of a toothpick had grown, which was obviously also polluted by the power of the treacherous spirit.

Showing the results to Chou He Tang and Feng Qiang, Feng Qiang frowned deeply: "Even the birds have been affected, but what is the purpose, just to harass us?" ”

"It didn't hurt us in the slightest, didn't it have any effect?" Sorrowful He Tang said.

Li He thought for a few seconds and slowly spoke: "Maybe it's to cover up other purposes." ”

"For what purpose?" Feng Qiang asked, and almost as soon as he asked, he heard a dull explosion sound from below the building, so powerful that the building where the official trickster headquarters was located shook several times.

Feng Qiang and He Tang's faces changed slightly, and Li He also frowned.

After a while, the door opened, and Bai Jiayue, who had gone downstairs before, returned, the Tang knife in her hand stained with blood and bird feathers.

Walking in the door and seeing a bird corpse, Bai Jiayue was stunned: "What, you have also been attacked by these strange birds?" ”

"Looks like you're too." Li Hedao.

"Not bad." Bai Jiayue nodded, "In addition, there is another bad thing to tell you. ”

"What?" Feng Qiang asked.

Bai Jiayue didn't answer directly, but turned her head to look behind her, and a mid-level security officer walked in, wearing a black uniform, stained with blood and shredded bird meat, and the corners of his clothes were still burned by the flames of the explosion.

He looked at Feng Qiang and said, "Captain Feng, the underground warehouse was attacked, the explosion damaged the protective door, and the stored body of Shen He was lost. ”

"What!" When he heard this, he called out first.

Feng Qiang clenched his fists, slowly looked at Li He and said, "Dean Li, it seems that you are right, the attack of the birds is really to cover up other purposes, and now the goal has been successfully achieved." ”

"Not unexpected." Li Hedao, the brain and soul fragments of the second consciousness body are running rapidly, constantly analyzing the current situation.

Gradually, a faint light appeared in his eyes, his thoughts became extremely clear, and his eyes must have said to Feng Qiang: "Obviously, everything the other party did was planned, although I don't know why I snatched Shen He's body, but there must be a purpose, and it is getting closer and closer to success."

And I can conclude that this is not the worst-case scenario, but probably the best-case scenario for the next period of time, and we have to make trade-offs and prepare for the worst. ”

"Dean Li, what do you mean?"

"Shrink the current defensive line, abandon the unimportant areas of Lin City, and conserve forces for the next worse situation."

Feng Qiang hesitated when he heard this, and then his mobile phone rang.

He quickly connected, listened to the report on the phone, hung up for a moment, looked at Li He and smiled bitterly: "Dean Li, you are right." The front line has just reported that the number of mutants is increasing, the fringe line has been breached, and the ranks of vigilantes are being forced to retreat in an attempt to build a new line of defense......"

"And ......" pursed his lips, Feng Qiang looked at Bai Jiayue, "Xiaobai, there is news you should know, but I hope you have to control yourself." ”

"What?"

"Your mother is a little dangerous."

Bai Jiayue's eyebrows were raised suddenly, and the black hair on her head instantly turned half red.
