Chapter 44: Urgent Mission

Hearing about eating, Chu Xiao's eyes lit up.

....

This time, under the gaze of Professor Huang and a group of professors, Chu Xiao walked to the dinner table with six boxes of packaged seafood.

"Why did you eat so much this time?" Feeling the gaze of others, Professor Huang was a little ashamed, and he didn't want to sit in the same position with Chu Xiao anymore.

Chu Xiao also blushed a little, but still said, "Uh... My family loves to eat. ”

“......”

Professor Huang didn't speak anymore and ate silently.

Chu Xiao kept the portion he wanted to eat, and put the rest away, ready to take it back for his parents to enjoy.

During the whole meal, it was unusually quiet.

In other words, Professor Huang is ashamed and does not dare to raise his head anymore.

Professor Huang didn't speak, and Chu Xiao didn't speak.

......

"Professor Huang, I'm done eating." Chu Xiao wiped his mouth, hugged the boxed lunch in his arms and prepared to leave.

Professor Huang nodded. "Well, okay." Go ahead, come early tomorrow. ”

"Good!" Chu Xiao agreed, hugged the lunch box and turned to leave.

"Hey, ah, I'm Huang Zhigang."

Hearing the voice, Chu Xiao looked back and saw that it was Professor Huang answering the phone.

Chu Xiao nodded to Professor Huang, turned around and continued to walk out.

Out of the research institute, Chu Xiao looked at his tricycle.

He ran over and looked at the charger, which was already full.

Chu Xiao put the lunch box in the driver's seat, unplugged the charger, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Comrade, I'm leaving. Thank you. ”

Chu Xiao warmly greeted an armed policeman standing guard.

Started the tricycle and made a U-turn.

"Chuxiao, wait."

"The first dawn!"

Behind the tricycle, Professor Huang's voice was heard.

Chu Xiao poked his head back a little strangely and saw Professor Huang coming down the steps, a little out of breath.

"Chuxiao, don't go."

Professor Huang said as he beckoned to Chu Xiao and let Chu Xiao pass.

"Professor Huang, what's wrong?"

Chu Xiao was a little puzzled and walked towards Professor Huang.

The two met at the gate of the scientific research institute.

"What's wrong, Professor Huang."

Chu Xiao looked at Professor Huang in front of him.

Professor Huang was gasping for breath at the moment, holding his waist with one hand.

"Wait... Wait a minute. Professor Huang gasped, sweating profusely on his forehead.

He waved his hand, motioning for Chu Xiao to wait, allowing himself to catch his breath.

A minute later.

"Chu Xiao, I just received a call from Minister Li, he is going to come over later, and he has a task to release for you." Professor Huang was still gasping for breath as he spoke, and at the end, Professor Huang added: "Urgent task." ”

"We?" Chu Xiao grasped some important points.

"Yes, it's you, you, Wang Jin, Liu Zai. They're all coming, you come with me, and we'll be waiting for them in the conference room. ”

Professor Huang moved his limp limbs and walked to the conference room with Chu Xiao.

.....

About ten minutes or so

Chu Xiao was sitting in the conference room, and the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Looking up, the people who came were Wang Jin and Liu Zai.

"Hi, Brother Chu Xiao."

"The first dawn."

Both came in and said hello.

"You're here." Chu Xiao also stood up and said hello.

At the same time, he dragged the other two chairs out and motioned for them to sit down.

The three of them were seated again.

"Is there any clue about the guy you're investigating?" Chu Xiao asked.

"No, like the old man and the ghost, they all disappeared out of thin air." Wang Jin was a little angry and scolded.

Obviously, he hasn't been much better these days.

"Do you know what our mission is?" Liu Zai suddenly interjected on the side.

Chu Xiao shook his head, he didn't know at all.

"I can probably guess some."

Wang Jin leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, and looked at the ceiling.

Chu Xiao wanted to ask something, but the door of the conference room was pushed open again.

Chu Xiao looked back and saw that Professor Huang and Minister Li had already come in.

Seeing the two people who came over, Chu Xiao and Liu Zai both sat down, except for Wang Jin.

Maybe because the matter was urgent, Minister Li didn't pay too much attention to it.

Minister Li stood in the center of the podium, and Professor Huang stood to the side.

Minister Li put down the folder in his arms and said in a serious tone: "Today, there is an urgent task assigned to you. ”

"It's a rescue mission."

"You should know that ten years ago, there was an S-class ghost that slaughtered an entire city."

"We don't know if the ghost is still in the city."

And that city slowly turned into a ghost town. Over time, something of this is fermenting. ”

"The ghost energy that overflowed from the city spread outward and expanded."

"Two months ago, we and several other cities sent a large number of capable people one after another."

"I'm going to enclose the perimeter of that ghost town with B-13 forbidden objects to stop the spillage of ghost energy."

"The plan went very smoothly and there were no obstacles."

Minister Li said, and Professor Huang pressed a switch in his hand on one side.

Then, behind Minister Li, a screen slowly fell.

On that screen, a large, detailed map was displayed.

Minister Li turned around at the right time and pointed to a location on the map.

continued: "The entire perimeter of the ghost town has basically been corroborated. ”

"Only here!"

Minister Li's finger tapped a little at that point.

"We're in charge here, and we've been banning it for a long time. As a result, there is an opening here. ”

"If this place is not blocked, then all the ghost energy will overflow from this opening."

"We've contacted the ban team."

"Now, they're having a big hard time."

"In this place, an abyssal monster has awakened. Moreover, there are survivors in this place. ”

"Now, our capable ones have to resist the abyss monster hiding in the shadows on the one hand, and protect the survivors at all times."

"They are under a lot of pressure and can't get out."

At this time, Wang Jin suddenly spoke.

"I'm afraid it's not enough for the three of us, right?"

Minister Li nodded and said, "That's right, the headquarters will also send Liu Zhiqi and Gong Jie over." ”

Wang Jin frowned and asked, "Isn't this tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall?" As soon as we leave, who will be responsible for the supernatural events in the entire Eastern District? ”

"What if something happens then?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the west and south districts of Twilight City, as well as the central city, will have people to come to help defend it."

"If we study it, there will be no problem."

Minister Li also explained surprisingly patiently.

Wang Jin nodded, and asked again, "What was our main task in the past?" Protecting survivors? Or fight off the abyssal monsters? ”
