"Well, since no one objects, I will be the temporary commander now! The first thing I'm going to announce now is that everyone should get moving. Immediately find everything you can use in the gymnasium and build fortifications at all the major entrances and exits of the gymnasium. Be prepared to fight to the death to stop the wave of alien monsters that are surrounding us!"
"clear!"
Everyone present responded in a deep voice.
"Second, I will form five three-person search and rescue teams to search and rescue Major Li Mingde. The candidates will be selected from the personnel of our KPI department, and those who are good at investigation and tracking will be given priority!"
"I, I used to be a scout."
"I am an awakener of the wind element."
…
A KPI staff member responded.
It can be seen that Bai Qi's prestige is still very high.
Shen Qiu turned his head to look at Chen Ye and asked in confusion.
"Why don't you sign up?"
"Forget it. You see, all the people who signed up are regulars. If I stand out now, I will be laughed at."
Chen Ye forced out an awkward smile.
"I think you're pretty capable. Let's find a quiet place and you can do some reconnaissance. I'll help you keep an eye on it."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and said to Chen Ye.
"Can I do it?"
Chen Ye was a little unconfident.
"Let's give it a try. A little more hope is always good. You know, the signal stick is still with Li Mingde."
Shen Qiu said to Chen Ye in a deep voice.
"Okay, okay, let's find a quiet place."
As soon as Chen Ye heard the signal stick, he quickly agreed.
So Shen Qiu and Chen Ye walked to the side, and Bai Qi had also divided the work among everyone.
I saw many KPI personnel and soldiers moving.
Either go find materials to build simple fortifications, or go look for Li Mingde's whereabouts, or just go outside to keep watch and so on.
In short, everything was running smoothly.
At this time, Shen Qiu and Chen Ye found a quiet area to sit down, and Chen Ye began to control his swarm of rats to gather.
It wasn't long before the rats gathered.
Chen Ye took a deep breath, picked up the retention needle, and let out some more blood for the mice to lick.
Then Chen Ye's eyes began to emit green light, and all the mice stared at Chen Ye, with the image of Li Mingde appearing in their eyes.
"go!"
Chen Ye immediately gave an order, and many rats scattered.
"It's done, boss. The rest depends on luck."
Chen Ye said to Shen Qiu very tiredly.
"You need to work on this ability. It feels like you've lost half your life after using it for a while."
Shen Qiu whispered to Chen Ye.
"I want to, but the problem is I'm poor."
Chen Ye also smiled bitterly.
"Okay, stop playing the victim and get back to work. I'll give you credit for finding Li Mingde."
Shen Qiu promised Chen Ye.
"Really?"
Chen Ye suddenly became motivated.
"I always keep my word."
"Okay, wait."
Chen Ye then began to carefully control the swarm of rats to search.
Shen Qiu sat next to him, waiting quietly.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
Time keeps passing.
Shen Qiu kept looking at his watch, his expression becoming more and more solemn. There were only less than two hours left before the countdown ended.
Chen Ye still didn't find anything.
As for the five search teams organized by Bai Qi, three of them have returned empty-handed.
The most important point is that the surrounding alien monsters are getting closer and closer to the gymnasium, and the radius of their activity area is less than 5 kilometers.
The only slight consolation is that temporary defensive fortifications have been built.
For example, at the main entrance of the gymnasium, a wall was constructed by an earth-type awakener using a mixture of dismantled chairs and soil to shrink the entrance.
Trenches were also set up in the rear to avoid long-range beam attacks from large aliens.
…
Just when Shen Qiu was becoming more and more uneasy, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke to Shen Qiu excitedly.
"Brother, we have a clue."
"What clues?"
Shen Qiu's expression was startled and he asked immediately.
"Xiao Hui, I found a shoulder medal that had been scraped off at a sewer crossing near the Huifu Bridge. It looks very much like Commander Li Mingde's."
Chen Ye said to Shen Qiu.
"The problem is that the Huifu Bridge seems to have been covered by a strange wave of aliens. Rats and the like can get through, but we probably can't."
Shen Qiu said, feeling very tricky.
If he had the ability to break through, he could have considered breaking out directly.
"No need to do that. Two kilometers north of the gymnasium, there is a sewer entrance that leads to the sewer where he was dragged down."
Chen Ye explained to Shen Qiu.
When Shen Qiu heard Chen Ye's words, he immediately stood up and said.
"Let's go and talk to Bai Qi."
"Come on, Boss."
Chen Ye said somewhat unnaturally.
"What's wrong?"
"Even if we tell them, they may not believe us. Also, I can't guarantee that we can find Major Li Mingde. Another thing is that although there are no monsters in the sewers now, it is probably very dangerous. Even if you convince them, if the personnel who go to investigate die or something goes wrong, they will definitely blame us. If we find the person, it will be fine, but if we can't, it will be troublesome."
"Then let's go by ourselves."
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"Okay!"
Chen Ye immediately nodded in response.
"Walk!"
Shen Qiu then took Chen Ye outside.
Just as Shen Qiu and the other man climbed over the fortifications and prepared to leave, the soldier in charge of guarding the north gate shouted.
"Where are you going?"
"Go out and investigate."
"Be careful and come back soon. The monster is shrinking soon."
"OK."
Shen Qiu waved his hand and left with Chen Ye.
They ran quickly towards the north street, and could see a few scattered alien bodies along the way.
When they saw Shen Qiu and Chen Ye, murderous light suddenly flashed in their eyes and they rushed forward one after another.
Shen Qiu didn't indulge their habits and raised Blood Fang to shoot.
Bang!
One by one, they were shot in the head as they approached the alien body and fell down unwillingly.
"It's another 800 meters. It's in the alley on the right side of the street ahead."
Chen Ye is also very nervous now. You know, there are basically no people active outside now, and any movement is a monster.
"I see."
Shen Qiu responded in a deep voice. He was highly focused. While killing the aliens that were blocking his way, he also observed his surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks.
Fortunately, they were lucky this time and ran into the alley smoothly.
“It’s this sewer opening!”
Chen Ye ran to a sewer entrance, squatted down and said.
"Open it."
Shen Qiu looked around vigilantly and gave instructions to Chen Ye.
"Okay, it's pretty heavy."
Chen Ye used all his strength to lift the manhole cover with difficulty, his face turned red.
As the manhole cover was opened, the rustling sound of Xiao Hui was heard from below.
"You go down first!"
Shen Qiu said to Chen Ye.
"Okay!"
Chen Ye then climbed down carefully.
After Shen Qiu saw Chen Ye go down, he immediately spoke up to remind him.
“Get out of the way!”
He jumped down nimbly, his feet stepping on the dirty water, splashing water.
