"I didn't expect to be so lucky. It turned out to be the overlap of the Mechanical City. But it's a pity that now is not the time to explore the overlap. We have to be careful to avoid the overlap area and don't get carried away."

Long Er looked at the overlapping areas in front of him and said with a smile.

“It’s really a pity.”

Shen Qiu nodded slightly in response. He still knew the priorities clearly. The most urgent task now was to resolve the issue of District 8.

If the Eighth District is really destroyed, the entire Red Alliance will be in danger, and I myself may not have a good life in the future.

Long Er took Shen Qiu and circumvented the entire overlapping area from the side.

They continued on their way.

"Long Er, do you think there will be infected people who leave from this overlapping world and then return to other areas of the Red Alliance from the overlapping world?"

"Theoretically, there should be, but the probability is not high. Because the IQ of the infected is not very high, after entering the overlapping world, there is a high probability that they will be killed by local monsters."

"No matter how small the probability is, it's still a probability. Then wouldn't other areas be dangerous as well?"

"Not really, because the outbreak actually started in District 8. Infected people were also found in other districts, and the number was not small, but they were all eradicated, and it wasn't as serious as District 8."

"Oh, then what's going on here? Did District 8 not take it seriously at the beginning and missed the best time?"

Shen Qiu deliberately used the question to test the waters.

"I'm telling you, you really guessed wrong. District Eight didn't ignore it. They went crazy when they first discovered the problem! There are some minor flaws in the response strategy, but the overall direction is correct. But for some reason, they just can't figure it out!"

When Long Er said this, he was also very puzzled, and his tone was full of doubt.

"Do you suspect anything?"

"I felt like something was wrong."

"You seem to be hinting at something. Are you trying to say that there are worms among us?"

"Hehe, it's hard to say. But it's not impossible. After all, the forest is big, and it's not surprising to see a few traitors."

"Why."

Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh.

Bang!

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard in the distance, interrupting the conversation between Shen Qiu and Long Er.

Shen Qiu and Long Er looked at each other and then moved over.

Soon the two men appeared at the entrance of a small alley on the street, and they stuck their heads out to look over.

In the distant street, five people wearing modular armor and different metal masks and with arrogant manners were standing there.

There were several corpses lying scattered around, and not far away from them, there was a father and son lying with their hands behind their backs.

"Sun Zhan, these corpse monsters are really annoying."

A woman wearing a metal mask of a white cat complained.

"Okay, Song Yu, let's leave this place now."

Sun Zhan twisted his neck and said.

Just as Sun Zhan and others were about to leave, the father and son lying on the ground begged.

"Please save us and take us away."

Sun Zhan stopped, turned his head to look at the father and son lying on the ground, and raised the modular automatic pistol in his hand!

Bang!

Two shots directly killed the father and son who were calling for help, and the ground was stained red with blood.

A drizzle began to fall from the sky again.

When Song Yu and others saw Sun Zhan's behavior, their expressions did not change at all, as if it was the most normal thing.

"It's so annoying. They asked me to save them. They're only worth a few cents. It's a waste of my time."

Sun Zhan spoke sarcastically, as if he was being despised.

"Okay, don't let these ants affect our mood."

Song Yu half-coquettishly persuaded Sun Zhan.

Shen Qiu, who was hiding in the alley, suddenly looked a little cold when he saw this scene.

Long Er also said helplessly.

“You can really see termites everywhere you go.”

"If they don't want to save people, they can just leave. There's no need to kill them. And if they don't want to save people, what are they doing here?"

"Well, most of the people who came to support us came with the belief of rescue. But not all of them came. There must be many people who came with other purposes, such as gaining points or merits, etc."

Long Er explained to Shen Qiu.

At this time Shen Qiu pulled out Han Ye indifferently. When Long Er saw Shen Qiu's action, he hurriedly held his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"Nothing. I remember that according to the Red League Law and the rules set by District 8, as long as you lie down with your hands behind your back, no one is allowed to kill. Do they break the rules? Can I kill them?"

Shen Qiu replied calmly, because he knew that it would be difficult for the law to punish them.

When Long Er heard Shen Qiu's words, he suddenly became a little dazed.

He seemed to see himself in the past, full of vigor and vitality. At that time, when he saw something he didn't like, he would just chop it down without saying a word.

But afterwards, it caused endless troubles and almost led to his downfall and irreparable disaster.

He still clearly remembers what his elder brother said to him.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Long Er took a deep breath and said to Shen Qiu.

"They are new nobles, and this is a disaster area. If you kill them, you won't be able to explain yourself. And even if you are right, the big forces behind them will not let you go. You will only bring trouble upon yourself."

After listening to Long Er's words, Shen Qiu fell silent.

After a long time, Long Er said to Shen Qiu in a deep voice.

“Do what you are capable of. Don’t act on impulse, learn to be calm.”

"I understand. Let's go."

Shen Qiu responded in a deep voice.

However, just as he was leaving, Long Er turned around and looked at Sun Zhan and others again.

A prompt box appeared in his eyes.

"Recording completed."

After a long time, Shen Qiu and Long Er finally arrived at the blockade checkpoint.

"Finally we've reached the checkpoint."

Shen Qiu let out a long sigh.

"Are you sure you want to go in here?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Long Er's eyes.

"If not from here, where else can we enter? Come on, and remember to lie down in a good position later."

Shen Qiu reminded Long Er.

"Ahem, alright!"

Long Er didn't know what to say.

Just as Shen Qiu and Long Er approached the checkpoint, they immediately received a warning shot from a second lieutenant officer. And this was because Shen Qiu and his team looked like KPI personnel, otherwise it would not be a warning shot in the air.

The lieutenant shouted in a deep voice.

"I am Lieutenant Li Zhong. Please stop immediately and take the correct action."

Shen Qiu carried the corpse aside swiftly, then lay down and shouted.

"We are from the third team of the Shenxing City KPI. We want to pass through here and go to the general command area. Please let us pass."

"Do you have a special pass?"

"No. But I am transporting a very special monster corpse for inspection. This matter is very important."

"I'm sorry, you have obvious scars on your bodies, so I can't let you pass directly. You can either return to your defense line and hand in your mission, or go and apply to your superiors. But you can also choose to have us send you to the quarantine area for a 7-12 day inspection."

Second Lieutenant Li Zhong replied in a rigid tone.
