Representative Tu Wenyu also said that he will not leave, he will advance and retreat with all the victims and compatriots, and he will wait until rescue arrives.
An awakened sergeant came in and saluted Congressman Tu Wenyu.
Behind him were several people, who should be the "important researchers" that Councilor Tu called.
Tang Shi saw familiar faces among those people, including Zhuo Xi and Dr. Weng. Their faces were ugly and they seemed to be quite frightened.
Councilor Tu Wenyu continued: "Except for the leader Lu An, the 12 of you will lead 20 awakening troops to protect these five researchers from leaving Xianglong City. They must be safely delivered to Shuanghua City!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered at the same time.
Lu An was originally the temporary leader of Xianglong City. Now that he has passed the assessment, he is officially appointed as the leader of Xianglong City. If Xianglong City is in trouble, as the leader, he will be in charge of all the awakening armies in Xianglong City. Of course he can't leave, he will stay, that's inevitable.
Twenty awakening troops are already in place, and the researchers are also here, ready to set off at any time.
Before setting off, Councilor Tu Wenyu issued another order, "Now, I officially appoint Yan Xu as the captain of the escort team, and Di Kong and Tang Shi as deputy captains. If there is any emergency on the way, the three of them have the right to Decide everything.”
Yanxu looked at Councilor Tu Wenyu strangely. Logically speaking, Yanxu should not be the captain. In terms of seniority in Xianglong City, if Lu An does not go, Di Kong is the most qualified. Yanxu is just A newcomer in Xianglong City, even though he had outstanding results in the assessment, because he was serious and dull, and didn't talk much to other people, he was so unsociable and a newcomer, he was actually singled out as the captain, so that those who were dissatisfied with him were singled out. People who are familiar with it will inevitably feel a little unbalanced.
Yanxu remained silent, and everyone else looked at Yanxu with strange eyes.
Councilor Tu Wenyu saw their reactions in his eyes and said seriously: "Yanxu, in peacetime, once served as the 'Captain of the National Special Mission Execution Brigade'. He is more qualified than everyone present to serve as this officer." Captain of the mission.”
Yanxu was surprised. He didn't know who Councilor Tu Wenyu was. He actually knew his background.
Not only Yanxu, but everyone else looked at him in surprise.
Such figures were once heroes hidden in darkness in peaceful times. When could they come into contact with such a big shot
Now he is standing with them alive, and they are also lucky enough to be his "soldiers" for once.
When everyone looked at him, their eyes suddenly changed. They were filled with trust and pride. You must be proud to be able to perform missions with national-level soldiers.
The most surprising person is Lu An. Although Lu An was also a soldier in peacetime, he did not have the same official position as Yanxu. If it were still in peacetime now, Lu An would salute Yanxu and shout "sir" when he saw Yanxu. He actually said before that he would accept Yan Xu, but now he feels ashamed just thinking about it.
Once Yanxu's true identity in the peaceful era was revealed, several researchers who were nervous just now breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard that the leader of Lu An would not go with them, they all sweated in their hearts. No matter how high the value is, they are just ordinary people in peacetime. When encountering problems, they will never have the calmness and independent judgment of real soldiers who have received heavy training.
Since the people who are now the captains have such status, they have nothing to worry about. If even Yanxu can't protect them, they can't expect others to safely send them to Shuanghua City.
An awakened person from the Hunter Alliance asked, "Even if Yanxu is qualified to be the captain, what about Tang Shi? Let him serve as the deputy captain. He and Yanxu are already together. With this arrangement, when making decisions, It would be unfair.”
"What are you dissatisfied with my proposal?" Suo Liangying spoke, her sharp eyes directed at the man who asked the question, "Are you suspecting that my members of the Trial Council are unfair?"
When the man came into contact with Suo Liangying's sharp eyes like an eagle, he swallowed secretly and fell silent.
Suo Liangying didn't want to overwhelm others with her imposing manner, so she explained, "Tang Shi is a member of my trial committee. I recommended him as deputy captain. Naturally, it was based on all his performance in the assessment. It has nothing to do with who he is close to. As a judge, he should distinguish between public and private matters."
Tang Shi was surprised. He didn't expect that the person who recommended him as vice-captain would be Suo Liangying.
The man resisted the pressure and asked again, "Then... what if it's unfair?"
Suo Liangying's eyes were as cold as ice and her tone was certain, "He won't."
Everyone: “…”
Suo Liangying added: "The person I choose will not be unfair."
Tang Dynasty: "..."
other people:"… "
Well, they have seen such conceited and defensive examiners, so they won’t do it.
The awakened person who asked the question also touched his nose uglyly and did not intend to say anything more.
Everyone set off immediately without saying anything more.
When leaving, Yanxu slowed down and hesitated a little. Tang Shi saw what he meant and stopped to wait for him.
Finally, when everyone else was leaving, Yanxu turned to look at Councilor Tu Wenyu.
When Councilor Tu Wenyu saw Yanxu's look, he knew what he wanted to ask and said with a smile: "Your family is all well and now they live in Yanlai City near Shuanghua City."
Hearing the news, Yan Xu was so excited that he couldn't help but saluted Congressman Tu Wenyu with an old-fashioned military salute. The gesture was a standard one, and said loudly: "Thank you Congressman Tu!"
Councilor Tu Wenyu came over, patted Yanxu on the shoulder, and whispered to him.
Tang Shi didn't hear what was specifically said. He only saw Yanxu nodding.
When they both came out, Yanxu breathed a huge sigh of relief, and while he was walking at the end and no one was paying attention, he reached out and hugged Tang Shi.
He was very happy and excited, knowing that his family was well and now that he was in Yanlai City, he could finally carry out his mission without any worries.
Tang Shi patted his back and said, "I told you not to worry, they will be fine."
"Yes." A smile appeared on Yanxu's face and he asked in a low voice: "Where is Yanlai City? Is it far from Shuanghua City?"
Tang Shi also answered with a smile: "Not far away, I saw from the map that Shuanghua City, Yanlai City and Luochuan City are all very large gathering places, located at the three corners of an equilateral triangle. For such a large gathering place, I estimate that it is at least an S-class gathering place."
Yanxu quietly held Tang Shi's hand and whispered: "After the mission is completed, I will take you home. Grandpa must be very worried about me. I want to show him that he has personally chosen a good grandson-in-law. Without him, With his foresight, I probably died in Lincheng."
Tang Shi looked away uncomfortably, feeling a little hot on his face. He was really not used to the words "granddaughter-in-law".
When Yanxu saw that Tang Shi was actually shy, he felt itchy and wanted to grab him and kiss him.
Just when Tang Shi was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, two cold gazes came towards him. Tang Shi was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Long Mian standing there, looking at them coldly.
Tang Shi secretly retracted his hand, and Yan Xu frowned dissatisfied. Tang Shi glared at him and warned him not to mess around.
They left the World Trade Center through another door, without letting the refugees on the second floor see them, for fear that they would mistakenly think they were abandoned and cause chaos, which would be difficult to deal with.
The Awakening Army walked on both sides and at the end, the researchers walked in the middle, and Yanxu and others walked at the front to clear the way for them.
As soon as they left the building, they met the wandering undead soldiers, and there was no surprise that they were all fighting. Fortunately, the undead soldiers were not difficult to deal with, but there were just a lot of them. They quickly left the vicinity of the World Trade Center, and the huge creature in the distance was still stuck. It went crazy there, and all the buildings around it were moved to the ground. It was like a giant overlord flower that was stuck, twisting and destroying everything around it.
"God, what kind of creature is this?" A researcher in his sixties or seventies suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the huge creature in the distance.
"Please hurry up and follow, Dr. Shi." The awakening army around him urged him.
The old researcher was unaware and was still looking at the big guy in fascination. Dr. Weng Aozhang, who was walking in front, turned around and found that his senior brother was gone. When he turned around, he saw him standing there watching the big guy, shouting. Said: "Shi Laozhang! Hurry up!"
After calling him, seeing that he didn't move, Dr. Weng and Zhuo Xi walked back together, each holding an arm and dragging him away. Even so, Dr. Shi still turned to look.
Tang Shi and Zhan Rong were arranged by Yan Xu to walk on the second floor. If the first floor couldn't block it, the second floor must block it. Zhan Rong was an expert at long-range attacks, so it was even more convenient to attack from behind. They are relatively close to the researcher, and they will be the first to know if the researcher makes any movements.
Tang Shi stopped and waited for them to catch up before continuing and asked casually, "What's the matter, Dr. Shi?"
Dr. Shi Fengyushi is Weng Aozhang's senior brother and Zhuo Xi's current teacher. His main research project is cards, and Weng Aozhang's main research project is runes. They have made huge contributions in both fields, whether it is Who, they all have a lot of respect for researchers.
No one should underestimate researchers. Even though they are old and frail, and they are all ordinary people, their role is definitely greater than that of the awakened ones. The hope of mankind is tied to them. No matter how careless they are, even the awakened ones Even if you die, you must protect them.
Dr. Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Shi, ignored him and continued to think about his own affairs.
Tang Shi touched his nose and was not embarrassed. He heard that the researchers had weird personalities, and he felt the same way.
The researchers they want to protect are all ordinary people, and their progress is very slow. They can only slow down and accommodate them, which means they have to kill many undead soldiers who come from elsewhere.
