Chapter 31: The Gap

Dawning United No. 014 Sky Island City Center District, Disaster Countermeasures Department.

At the end of a meeting, Xu Han walked out of the venue with a gloomy face.

He walked briskly down the hallway, his footsteps echoing loudly. When the people on the road saw him, they all avoided three points, not daring to touch his moldy head.

Back in the office of Team 4, after he brought the door, the whole person collapsed on the sofa in the resting area.

His eyes stared at the ceiling for a moment, and then he sat up straight, took out a cigarette, lit a fire, and smoked it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the door was pushed open again, this time it was Tu Zhiwu who came in.

However, her complexion at this time was not good-looking, with dark circles in her eyes, and she was a little haggard.

"Captain? Why don't you turn on the lights? Tu Zhiwu saw the sad figure smoking on the sofa at a glance, asked in some surprise, and turned on the light in the room at the same time.

"Zhiwu, you're back." Xu Han sighed and spit out a puff of cigarette and said, "Is your sister okay?" ”

"She's fine, but she's probably seen most of the scene." Tu Zhiwu said, "I was frightened, and the doctor said that there might be sequelae. ”

The failed operation a few days ago caused their fourth team to suffer a huge blow.

But apart from this, Tu Zhiwu didn't expect that a bigger blow to her was still to come.

When the incident was finished that night, he found his sister Tuwenwen at the scene.

She was trembling, wearing a coat and coming to Tu Zhiwu under the escort of the rescuers, her emotions were almost out of control, as if she was scared silly.

In the fragmented description, she learned that she was present at the scene and happened to see the scene of the Scissors Scourge stepping into the quasi-second order, and the scene where the weapon monster opened fire at the end.

Even Tu Zhiwu, who has been trained for a long time, was trembling with his legs and weak in his heart when he was finally aimed at the muzzle of that strange man, so she could fully imagine how impactful this kind of picture was for a relatively immature child.

Tuwenwen is now temporarily hospitalized, and she is responsible for accompanying her.

When her parents found out about this, they scolded her for a bloody thing, and she worked hard for several days.

Xu Han nodded slightly and said, "The meeting just now was just over." ”

"That's ...... The result? Tu Zhiwu sat down on another sofa and looked at Xu Han with some uneasiness.

"It's better than expected, but it's hard to say whether it's better or not."

Xu Han pressed the cigarette into the ashtray on the armrest of the sofa and said: "More than half of the four teams were killed and wounded, and I should have resigned, but unexpectedly, my position was not canceled by the higher-ups." ”

"That should be a good thing, right?" Tu Zhiwu said in surprise.

Xu Han shook his head: "But the relevant positions of our four teams will be divided into other departments, and the relevant punishments will not be less, we are now more like an animal specimen, and we still look like things on the outside, but there is basically nothing left inside." ”

"What's the point of that?" Tu Zhiwu frowned.

Xu Han's eyes looked at the little sparks that were still flickering in the ashtray, and said for a long time: "It hasn't been long since the six teams were wiped out, if you remove me now and the four teams are renovated, there will be several times more work to be done, it seems that something has happened to the above, and I don't want to be distracted to deal with this." I've been really short of people lately. ”

"But this treatment is more like ...... The autumn queen asked to cut? ”

"That's right, it's just a slow death, we know that we will die when we get our hands freed, but we still have to continue to work. There is no way, everyone is just a worker at best. Xu Han sneered.

Tu Zhiwu was silent.

"I'm sorry, Zhiwu, I originally said that I would be able to ask you to be promoted to the deputy team soon, but now it's all gone." Xu Han said wistfully.

"No need to do that, captain, you've already helped me a lot since I joined the team." Tu Zhiwu hurriedly shook his head and said.

Xu Han smiled, did not continue the topic, and his face became a little more serious: "Then let's talk about our follow-up tasks." It's been a bit of a mess in the city lately, so let's help the other teams deal with it. ”

Tu Zhiwu also cheered up and listened.

"First, a batch of goods has recently poured into the black market in the city, all of which are fragments produced by the high-depth boundary, there are too many of them, we suspect that there may be a problem with the source, this is the responsibility of the third team, and you will bring a few people to assist."

Tu Zhiwu nodded slightly.

"The second one let me go, and recently confirmed the traces of the Cangjiao in the city, the first and second teams are responsible together, and I assist on behalf of the fourth team."

"Worship Cangjiao!" Tu Zhiwu's pupils shrank, and his voice couldn't help but raise.

Xu Han nodded and said: "It's dangerous, I won't let you go, you can take care of your sister more in the next few days before going to work, just take a few days off, hard work for you." ”

"Captain, stay safe."

"Heh, who are you talking to?"

Xu Han smiled and pretended to be disdainful.

"By the way, what about the 'troupe'?"

"I reported, and the boss said that someone would be sent to investigate, but it won't be the recent, and the important thing now is still on Bai Cang."

After the two of them finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

After a long time, Xu Han stood up: "Don't take some things too seriously, let's take my sister to relax more these days." ”

Tu Zhiwu sat in the empty office, looking at the empty room, thinking of some familiar friends' faces on weekdays and working together, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.

It's not like she's not without the deaths of her teammates.

But something happened so suddenly.

People who are prepared can bear a lot, but often reality does not prepare people.

……

Gunshots rang out, longing figures fell, and monsters covered with guns and munitions walked the streets strewn with corpses.

Everyone died in terror, without blinking their eyes, their eyes wide open.

Their heads were tilted to one side, as if they were all looking at her.

She saw a lot of acquaintances in it.

I can even see my sister, as well as my father and mother......

All dead.

The footsteps echoing in her ears suddenly stopped, and her body shook, and she raised her head in a trance.

The rusty muzzle of the gun was aimed at her brow, and the strange man, with a hideous grin, slowly pulled the trigger......

"Don't ......!"

Tuwenwen's body trembled, and he opened his eyes in his sleep, and found that he was already sweating profusely, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Trembling and straightening up, she looked out the window and saw that it was just dawn outside, and she had woken up early.

She shouldn't have been there that night.

No, she shouldn't even have gone back to the homeless area, she shouldn't have gone out alone in the first place.

Although the quilt was covered, his body felt a chill, and he couldn't help shivering, and he clutched the quilt even more.

She slowly closed her eyes, trying to empty her mind and forget all the unpleasantness.

Soon, however, her brow furrowed, and all sorts of frightening images appeared before her eyes again.

Tears lingered from the corners of his eyes, and his body continued to tremble.

Whoosh –

Dark red particles floated from her body, but they were fleeting.

Immersed in fear, she didn't know it.

No one else knew.

……

Early this morning, Chen Changcai made an appointment with Wan Yi.

"You said that the spiritual power method has gained something?" Wan also asked.

"Yes, and there are seven sets of clues at once." Chen Changcai nodded.

"Why are there so many at once? Some time ago, there was no gain at all, but now suddenly there is? ”

"Isn't this a batch of new goods coming in from the black market recently, I immediately inquired for you after I realized it, and there was a result all of a sudden." Chen Changcai's eyebrows jumped, making Wan Yi's eyes all focus there.

"How much does it cost, and how can I get it?" Is it probable? Wan Yi asked.

He didn't think that in such a big city, he was the only one who needed the spiritual power transformation method.

As soon as he asked this, Chen Changcai suddenly became a little embarrassed: "According to my total, if it goes well...... Well, three of them you have a chance. ”

"What if it doesn't go well?"

“…… A? ”

"It's not bad, I thought I didn't have a chance at all." Wan Yi said optimistically.

"Brother, you are free."

"Please help me arrange the rest of the matter, and I'll invite you to dinner when I get it." Wan Yi said.

Chen Changcai frowned when he heard this: "Aren't you going with me?" ”

"It's not about buying clothes for yourself, just have it, wouldn't it be nice for me to have a chance as a little newcomer? I've had arrangements lately, and I can't spare it. Wan Yi said.

In fact, it's not impossible to be free if you want to, just let the doppelganger do it on your behalf.

But Wan Yi felt that it was not so necessary, and what he had to do next might be quite a doppelganger, so let's keep it for now.

"You still haven't dispelled that idea? Really want to do it? Chen Changcai said.

He immediately reacted to what Wan Yi was going to do.

"I have made up my mind." Wan Yi smiled.

Chen Changcai stared at Wan Yi for a moment, and then reminded in frustration: "If you really want to go to the high-depth boundary, then don't go to time and space with special rules, because there are too many kills at first sight, and there is no cost of trial and error at all." I'd rather go to worlds with a high level of power than to go to strange worlds where danger lurks in the dark. ”

Wan Yi nodded understandingly: "I know." ”
