Chapter 548: Twilight

A few minutes later, Gong Piqing came to the door of the headquarters and could vaguely hear someone inside opening a drawer looking for something.

He knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open, and saw the old man taking a new candle from a drawer and lighting it, next to the old man and the three senior commanders on the night shift tonight.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with the World Tree coming so late? A senior commander said as he looked at him with a smile.

"The plan proposed at today's meeting, come and approve the implementation, I'll go tonight, Gaia's affairs can't be delayed any longer." Gong Piqing said.

It was obvious that the commanders, including the old man, had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Tonight? You don't rest? Performing tasks like this will be unbearable......" The old man said as he looked at him worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm fine, every second I miss now, Gaia suffers for one more second." Gong Piqing said.

The old man pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "Yes, you're right, just now the medical department came to tell me that Gaia's situation is really dangerous, he is almost inseparable from anesthetics now, and he must use anesthetics and painkillers to relieve the pain on his body......"

"Well, then please give me a review, I'll leave now."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the commanders, including the old man, showed a hint of sharpness at the same time.

"Are you sure...... Is it for 'you'? ā€

When he said the word "you", the old man's tone was obviously heavier, and Gong Piqing understood what he meant.

"Just go out to find some supplies, I mutated out a pair of wings after I went out, and flew back directly with something after I found it, so it was the fastest, and I didn't need other helpers, and now the Hades just finished surgery and can't move, Gaia can't move in the intensive care ward, and if the ghost leaves, there will be no one left to watch the house."

Gong Piqing said this, in fact, to imply that if the ghost was gone, there would really be no one to watch the house.

"No, let the ghost accompany you, you call the ghost over first, and I'll talk to you before approving the task." The old man finished speaking categorically, and then focused on the candle in his hand.

Gong Piqing frowned slightly, "If I leave with the ghost......"

"It's okay, it's dark outside, you and the ghost go out together to take care of each other, the situation of the Hades is not so bad, his mental power is enough to cover the entire research institute, even if he can't move, it won't affect him much, it's enough for him to stay and watch the house." The old man continued.

Gong Piqing sighed softly, he didn't expect to be told by the Hades King, it seems that the command will not let him act alone no matter what......

"Okay, I'll go find the ghost." Gong Piqing finished speaking a little helplessly, turned around and walked towards the exit of the headquarters.

In fact, there was something he didn't say to the old man just now, that is, this mission was actually not suitable for ghosts to participate, which is why he and Hades considered each other instead of ghosts at the beginning.

The ghost's ability is to kill in close quarters and haste, and their mission this time is to go out to find energy supplies, if the ghost is allowed to go out, the ghost's physique is not outstanding, so the living ghost of carrying materials can't do it, the ghost can only act as a guard in such a mission, and if it is for the Hades to follow, the Hades can help carry the materials with their mental power, and at the same time do not delay the use of mental power to conduct environmental reconnaissance and conventional combat.

To put it bluntly, it is more appropriate for him to go out on this mission with any super soldier than with a ghost; Because if he goes out with the ghost, then he will become a tool man who is completely responsible for carrying fuel, and the ghost will become his "full-time bodyguard", after all, he can't let the ghost carry a backpack full of fuel for dozens or even hundreds of pounds to move at high speed......

But since the orders from the headquarters were already in front of him, what else could he do......

Thinking about it, he knocked on the ghost's door, and the ghost took off his hat and had two pink headbands on his head, as if the guy was researching a new hairstyle for himself.

"Hey! My man, it's a pleasure to be a guest with me, are you going to take me out on a mission? ā€

It seems that the ghost also guessed his purpose early on, and even he saw the ghost's double knife from the door, it seems that the ghost is preparing a hairstyle for this mission, and as soon as he gives an order, the ghost will immediately pick up the knife and go out with him.

"It's the task of going out to find fuel supplies mentioned at today's meeting, and the headquarters asked you to go with me, do you have time?" Gong Piqing knew that the ghost had already guessed that he would say this.

"Absolutely! At this time, everyone will have time and will be happy to accompany you out on a mission~ When, is it now? The ghost said, raising an eyebrow at him cheerfully.

He nodded, "That's right, you need to go to the command headquarters with me first to approve the mission, and after approving it, we'll go straight away." ā€

"Okay! Then let's go now! ā€

Sure enough, as Gong Piqing expected, the ghost jumped up from the chair and appeared at the door in an instant, Gong Piqing was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses again, the ghost was already standing at the door with two knives in his arms waiting for him.

He was helpless for a while, and said in his heart that it seems that what the Hades said is really right, and the sense of security of following the ghost out on a mission is indeed bursting, because the ghost's detection ability is not inferior to that of the Hades, but it is far beyond the Hades in terms of assassination ability, and go out on a mission with the ghost, I'm afraid that when you haven't turned around, the ghost will flash to your side and then shake off the blood stains on the knife in front of you, and you ask him how there is blood on the knife, He patted you on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you don't know, in the few seconds you walked, I had already killed dozens of zombies that wanted to sneak up on you......

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked out of the headquarters, he took off his clothes in advance and mutated into a silver-gray exoskeleton, and the ghost was also directly on a mission with a knife and a stick, they didn't plan to go back to prepare, but set off directly.

This time, the process they followed was basically similar to the previous process, this mission was sealed by the command and signed by them, that is, their mission was also recorded in the Mill Research Institute's operational files and their personal files, and if they did something like violating the rules in this mission, they would also be punished according to normal rules.

However, all the people involved knew that the headquarters did this to prevent Gong Piqing from doing something out of the ordinary, and the fact that Gong Piqing went to sweep the Xiguan Renai Research Institute as the World Destroyer Dragon Nidhogg last time was enough to prove his madness.

But in Gong Piqing's heart, he really planned to do something this time, and even when he walked out of the underground parking lot with the ghost, he was still thinking about how he could sneak away quietly without the ghost knowing......

But he knew that this was almost impossible for him, and he had almost no way to sneak away without the ghost noticing, and the ghost had countless ways to sneak away from him, and even he could wonder if the ghost who was walking forward with him was really a "ghost", because one of the ghost's abilities was to create a small number of controllable clones, and the body could do other things at will.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh helplessly, the ghost noticed his small movement for the first time, and then his eyes fell on him, "What's the matter, good brother, what are you laughing at?" Isn't it very happy to come out with me on a mission, and secretly happy in my heart~"

He laughed helplessly in his heart, the ghost is still so narcissistic, but "since ancient times" no one has ever accused the ghost of narcissism, because the narcissism of the ghost has enough strength as a foreshadowing.

"No, no...... I...... Just thought of something happy. He improvised a lie and fooled him.

The ghost wondered, "Happy things?" What other happy things can you think of at such a time? ā€

He wanted to skip the topic, but he didn't expect the ghost to break the casserole and ask the end, so he could only continue to make it up......

"I—I thought about howling when the Hades came out of the medical department just now, holding his ass, really not like him...... Surely you've never seen him like this before, have you? ā€

The ghost immediately had a picture in his mind when he heard it, and then he couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, in a ward of the medical department of the Mill Institute, the Hades lying on the bed sneezed a series of sneezes, needless to say, he knew that someone was talking about him......

Gong Piqing and the ghost walked forward like a daily shopping mall, as if they didn't have to worry about whether there would be any danger around them suddenly - this is how to go out on a mission with the ghost, it seems to be talking and laughing with you, in fact, the entire battlefield has been controlled by the ghost......
