When Brigade Zhao turned around after hearing Hu Xiaoling's "warning", he deeply felt the difficulties that Qiu Shi had faced in guarding here with this group of people for the past few years.
too difficult.
This is all face to face.
Zhao Lu could tell from the clothes that the black shadow who seemed to be kissing Qiu Shi was the fifth person who was supposed to be lying on the ground.
Just looking at its condition, you can tell it has been eroded by things in lightning that no one has ever seen.
Zhao Lu's hand on his waist touched the gun. There was still enough time, and a shot in the head would be enough...
Qiu Shiyi hit the black shadow’s head.
The black shadow's head was hit and it tilted back suddenly. Then the dagger in Qiu Shi's hand flashed a cold light and pierced into the black shadow's eye socket from top to bottom.
It took less than two seconds for Zhao Lu to touch the gun and draw it.
The black shadow had already fallen to the ground, Qiu Shi's knee was pressing on his chest, and the dagger had stabbed into his face seven or eight times.
The black shadow didn't even have time to move before it disappeared.
"You..." Zhao Lu put the gun back to its place and walked over.
Qiu Shi did not stop. Every time the dagger fell, it was so powerful that the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
After stabbing the shadow a dozen times, Qiu Shi finally stopped, grabbed the shadow's clothes, wiped his hand and the dagger, and slowly stood up.
"What about working out?" Zhao Lu finally had the chance to finish what he was going to say.
"The mission continues," Qiu Shi stretched his neck and arms, and pulled Zhao Lu's scarf, wiped the blood off his face, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, poured two pills into his mouth, "It's safe now, clear all the bodies within 300 meters, and search carefully."
"Yeah." Zhao Lu responded.
Qiu Shi threw the medicine bottle to him: "Two pills."
"I don't think I need it," Zhao Lu said, "I haven't touched it either. It's hard to make, so save it."
"Do you want me to feed you?" Qiu Shi asked.
Zhao Lu immediately poured out two pills and ate them.
This medicine is specially supplied and not everyone in the inner city can get it. It is said to have a certain protective effect, but it is just said.
Qiu Shi began to check the bodies. All the bodies that were searched were dragged together and destroyed. It was important to maintain a good image of the city.
"Is this medicine difficult to produce?" Zhao Lu touched his belly.
“The more threats you feel, the more you need shelter,” Qiu said. “The more scared you are, the more obedient you are.”
Zhao Lu looked at him, not knowing whether he understood or not.
There was nothing good on the corpses. Qiu Shi sighed and finally walked to the mother and daughter.
The girl was protected by her mother, so she should not have had any fear when she died. When Qiu Shi pulled away the cloth covering her face, he could even see a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Brother Shi," Zhao Lu squatted down and rummaged through the bag on his mother's back, "I've always wanted to ask you."
"Hmm?" Qiu Shi glanced at him.
"Are you looking for someone?" Zhao Lu said, "I always have to look at the face."
Qiu Shi looked at him without saying anything.
"My observation skills are pretty good." said Zhao Lu.
"So, am I mentally ill?" Qiu Shi asked.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Lu was stunned.
“I don’t even know if the person I’m looking for is a man or a woman, old or young,” Qiu said. “I have to look at each one.”
Zhao Lu thought for a moment and said, "What if they are looking for a whole family?"
Qiu Shi suddenly laughed, quite happily, and even patted his shoulder with his hand: "Hey..."
Zhao Lu also laughed for a long time.
"Where else can we find a big family?" said Qiu Shi.
Zhao Lu paused, and the smile froze on his face.
"Call it a day," Qiu Shi stood up and kicked Zhao Lu on the butt, "I'm going to drive."
"Go relax for a while." Zhao Lu said, "You treat."
Qiu Shi drove the car slowly, and Zhao Lu followed beside the car, throwing the bodies into the car one by one.
It was exceptionally quiet outside the city right now, because we had just passed the "jungle", and the night sky was pitch black, with no clouds visible, but if you turned your head and faced the mountain side, you could see the light.
This mountain is called Yuanshi Mountain, a name given by the company’s first-generation founder here, symbolizing that this is the beginning of everything. No one knew what it was called before, but people generally called this mountain Dahei Mountain.
Because it is very large and high, it seems like a barrier with no end, and the rocks are blue-black.
In the dark night, the Dahei Mountain towers high into the sky, with a colorful halo on the edge of the mountain, making it look more imposing than during the day.
There are more mountains on the other side of the Dahei Mountain, surrounded by huge rivers and dense forests. The dense east-west peaks are arranged like knife blades. The streets and houses built in the narrow and deep valleys under the cliffs are the destination that the mother and daughter and the refugees who appear every day want to reach, Yuncheng.
The name Yuncheng sounds good, a city in the clouds, a safe place to live, but considering that it is taken from the background of the company "Yuncheng Mining", it seems a bit boring.
"It looks pretty from this perspective," Zhao Lu got into the car and turned to look at Dahei Mountain. "I never really paid much attention to it."
"Why did you pay attention to it today?" Qiu Shi turned the car around.
"That's just sentimentality. I haven't seen my child for a long time," Zhao Lu said. "And today I saw a dead one."
Qiu Shi didn't say anything.
The place where the bodies were destroyed was a cave outside the city. It was very hidden, with only a gravel road built by a company leading to it. Cars could barely drive to the cave entrance. If there were a few more "jungles", the road would be rotten.
"Does Xiao Lei care about these things?" Zhao Lu dragged the corpse into the cave entrance, which was less than two square meters. He could hear the corpse sliding down with the gravel. "If this road is not repaired, we will have to climb up carrying the corpse."
"You go and try it." Qiu Shi pushed the bodies of the mother and daughter into the cave together.
The sound of gravel crashing and sliding down continued for a long time. It could be heard that the body did not fall to the bottom of the cave until the sound disappeared. This cave seemed to lead to the center of the earth.
"Put that thing away." Old Dumbledore pointed at the little butterfly flying around in the tavern.
"Take some photos," Zhang Sihai waved his hand, and the little butterfly returned to his shoulder. "Many people have never seen these bars in the outer city, and they think they are very..."
Zhang Sihai lowered his voice: "Terrible."
"So fragile." Old Deng said coldly.
"After all..." Zhang Sihai looked at her, and before his eyes flashed the scene of Old Deng slashing the black shadow's throat with a knife and then quickly retreating, "Don't everyone do the same as you... just leave that person there and ignore him?"
"The body collector will take care of it." Xiaoxia said.
Zhang Sihai said nothing more and looked around the pub.
This tavern is on the edge of the outer city, against the mountain wall. Half of the space is stone caves, and the other half is made of wood. The space is not small, but there are many people. At a glance, most of the people dressed like residents of the outer city. He looks out of place sitting here in his clean and tidy outfit.
However, this tavern is just two blocks away from the tunnel. It is far from the inner city but close to the waterway district. Maybe he can hear some news about the missing cases there. After all, he almost lost his life just now. At least he doesn't have the courage to go to the waterway district again tonight.
"People from the inner city still dare to come out?" A man at the table next to him looked at Zhang Sihai, "You've run so far, aren't you afraid you won't be able to get back and die outside?"
Zhang Sihai glanced at him without saying anything. Little Butterfly turned around and took a picture of the man's face. Zhang Sihai quickly pushed Little Butterfly towards himself.
"I heard that someone went missing again in the past few days?" Old Deng asked.
"Yes," the man said, "there must be more than we know. Didn't you notice that all the guards in the inner city have come out?"
"It's no use even if they come out. This is not the kind of thing that can be solved in two or three days by sending a team," said another uncle. "Those who should die will die, and those who should disappear will disappear. This is not something that these guards can solve."
“Who is going to solve it?” Zhang Sihai understood something and asked immediately.
The uncle glanced at him and said, "You people in the inner city know best."
"What?" Zhang Sihai didn't understand.
"A hidden guard." said the man from before.
When the people around heard the name, they turned their heads.
Zhang Sihai frowned: "That thing is a lie. Yuncheng does not allow biological organisms to enter and exist..."
Everyone in the room was silent for two seconds before bursting into laughter.
Zhang Sihai was a little overwhelmed by the laughter and looked at Lao Deng.
"Do you believe it, little baby?" Old Deng asked with a smile.
Zhang Sihai didn't answer.
Just when everyone had finished laughing at the naive little baby in the inner city and began to heatedly discuss the existence of the hidden guards, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and several tall men walked in with cold air.
"Fuck, what bad luck." A man with pigtails turned around and saw what people were doing and cursed.
"The corpse collector." Old Deng approached Zhang Sihai and whispered an introduction in his ear.
The corpse collectors didn't say anything, didn't look around, and walked straight to the bar.
The man in the middle reached out his hand and grabbed the back of his head when he passed by the man with the pigtails, then pushed him onto the table.
The knock was so light and effortless that you couldn't even see the strength, but the girl with the pigtails was completely unable to resist. After a loud "clang", she fell on the table and didn't move.
“Don’t be so arrogant,” the burly man with a goatee next to the man with the pigtails slammed the table and stood up, “This is not a place for you bunch of people who want to kill people!”
"The Outer City Gang," Hu Xiaoling smiled, "Everyone is afraid of the Outer City Gang, right?"
"That's good to know," the man with the goatee folded his arms and glared at them, "Let's resolve this matter."
Hu Xiaoling turned his head and glanced at Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi had just taken out a cigarette when the tavern owner next to him came over to light it for him. After hearing this, he glanced at the man with the goatee, then gently tossed the cigarette in his hand, put it in his mouth, and tilted his head to light it on the lighter handed to him by the owner.
“Don’t do it here, don’t do it here, don’t do it here…” The boss reacted immediately and said in a series of words, “I just repaired the pillars and the door pillars. If you collapse them again, you can just take them away from me.”
Qiu Shi sighed, turned around and walked towards the door. When he passed by the goatee, he raised his hand and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Come out."
This extremely insulting finger made the man with the goatee stunned at first, and then he became furious, threw his chair and followed out.
There were only two noises outside.
There was an "ow" sound that was stuck in the throat and not fully uttered, and a "bang" sound as something hit the mountain wall.
Everyone in the pub stared at the door. Two seconds later, Qiu Shi came back with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Go get some first aid," he said as he walked towards the bar, "If they don't wake up in ten minutes, we'll take them away if they're dead."
The people at the table with the goatee hesitated for a moment, then stood up and ran out.
After a short silence, the pub slowly became lively again. This episode was an unexpected bonus tonight. "Whose is this?" Zhao Lu asked with a frown.
Qiu Shi turned his head and saw a butterfly-shaped pet next to the bar. When the pet moved back, he grabbed it, then forced it to shut down and placed it on the bar.
"Sorry." A hand reached out from the side, trying to take the pet away.
Qiu Shi used his fingers to push the pet aside. He knew who this thing belonged to. When he came in, he saw Li Datou sitting in the corner, but his face still clearly showed that I am a fool from the inner city, but I still think I am smart and brave.
"Please give it back to me." said Li Datou.
Qiu Shi took the pet, skillfully removed its storage device in two moves, and then put the pet in Li Datou's hands.
"I'm sorry," Li Datou was stunned, "I..."
"Get lost." Qiu Shi said.
"Give it back to me." Li Datou was indeed as brave as he thought.
When Qiu Shi turned around and was about to slap him back to the corner, a girl took action first, pushed Li Datou's arm to the side, and stood in front of Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi had met this girl twice. She was a "radical" element that caused the company a lot of trouble.
“Give it back to him,” the girl whispered, “You can delete the part that shows you.”
The radicals were indeed much smarter than a fool like Li Datou. Qiu Shi stood up and took the memory stick to the second floor of the tavern: "I want to take a look first."
“No…” Li Datou suddenly became anxious and went over to stop him, but was immediately pulled away by the girl.
"Let him see." The girl glared at Li Datou in a calm voice.
Li Datou paused, then whispered, "Does he have the equipment? How can he see it?"
"I'll use my mind to see," Qiu Shi said, and then looked at the girl, "If he dares to go up before I come down, I'll take you two and that skinny little shrimp away with me."
"Don't touch his other content," the girl said in a steady voice, not afraid of him, and even threatened him, "or you won't be able to leave today."
Qiu Shi didn't say anything, turned around and went upstairs.
"Why is it so smelly!" A strange smell from the second floor made him frown and hold his breath, "Are you incontinent?"
"The sphincter is strong," an old voice replied. "Close the door."
Qiu Shi turned around and closed the door.
"I cooked something to eat." A wrinkled hand reached out from the shadows in the corner, holding a bowl of black paste. "Want a bite?"
"I'm still five years away from my goal of living to 30," Qiu Shi cleared the mess of papers and debris on the floor with his feet, pulled over a small chair and sat down, "Please don't poison me to death."
The person in the corner smiled and slowly moved out. He was an old man sitting in a wheelchair, his age was very rare in the outer city. Every time Qiu Shi saw him, he had a very unreal feeling.
"What's so fun?" asked the old man.
"Make a copy of what's inside and give it to me." Qiu Shi handed Li Datou's memory stick to him.
"Do you want to delete the part in his film that shows you?" The old man had a monitoring device on his ear, so he could hear everything going on on the first floor.
"No need." Qiu Shi said, taking out his pet and throwing it into the air, "Read the missed call and call back."
Xiao Chong quickly answered the call and projected the person on the other end of the call. Because the room was too messy, the person's face was projected in fragments.
"What's the matter?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Is there anything unusual among the bodies that arrived today?" Fragmented asked.
"No." Qiu Shi replied.
"No infected people?" Fragmented asked again.
"Is that also considered abnormal?" Qiu Shi asked back.
"Not really," said Fragmented. "What else?"
Qiu Shi thought about it and said, "That's actually possible."
"Speak." said Fragmented.
“Everything my people found today was cleared away,” Qiu said. “Not a single hair was left.”
Fragmented and speechless.
"When will Captain Xiao leave?" Qiu Shi asked, "He is the biggest anomaly in my place. He is buzzing all day long. Even his biochemical bodies cannot last as long as his. If he stays for two more days, I am afraid I will kill him because I can't help it."
"He has his job," Fragmented said.
"What is his job?" Qiu Shi asked.
Fragmented did not answer.
"How long will you stay?" Qiu Shi asked again.
Fragmented still no answer.
"Can I kill him?" Qiu Shi continued to ask.
"No," Fragmented said, "I need more of your people to go around the outer city recently."
"The company is short of staff?" said Qiu Shi.
"Qiu Shi, you have too many questions." said Fragmented.
“Give me some equipment,” Qiu said. “My men are not unarmed, but they are basically armed.”
"Tomorrow afternoon," said Fragmented, "what will you give in exchange?"
"Map." Qiu Shi waved his hand and ended the call. He leaned back in his chair and was silent for a while. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's fucking dark."
"Talk to them," the old man turned his wheelchair, "they must be in trouble."
"Hmm?" Qiu Shi reacted immediately and walked over to sit next to the old man. "What did you take pictures of?"
On the screen in front of the old man was the video that Li Datou had just shot. It was all black and you could barely make out a swaying figure. It was the scene of the girl killing the infected person. She did it quite skillfully and neatly.
"The problem is that I have to collect the bodies?" Qiu Shi asked.
The old man paused, enlarged the picture and brightened it.
"There's another person?" Qiu Shi moved closer to the display screen.
The video continued to play, and the figure flashed by so fast that the video seemed to have dropped frames.
Qiu Shi was a little surprised.
Is this thing really real
The author has something to say:
Oh, we meet again. We meet so often⊙▽⊙.
I was really touched to see so many familiar IDs in the comments yesterday, you are still here! ! ! !
so good!!!!!
By the way, Xiao Zhang is not Qiu Shi’s CP. The reason why there is only one name in the protagonist column is because of choice difficulty…
[Urgent supplement] The difficulty in choosing a name only refers to the name, not the character! There are not many people to choose from, only many names! Ah...
