When Li Feng returned to the conference room, the only action team that had followed the symbiote was once again thrown away and lost three soldiers. Dozens of inner city residents were accidentally injured.
He took off his coat, pulled out the sleeves of his pajamas, put his hands on the table, and looked around at the people in front of him. He was so stressed that he could hardly open his eyes. He was so sleepy that he would fall asleep on the table in the next second. With.
"Is there anything new?" Minister Liu asked.
Li Feng struggled to come back to his senses from his sleep, and shook his hand at Director Wu.
Curator Wu had been working with him for the longest time and knew his little habits very well. He took out two small pills and put them in his hand, then turned to explain to everyone: "It's for refreshing."
"Director Li, thank you for your hard work." Colonel Xu said.
"As long as he's not dead," Li Feng put the pill in his mouth and chewed it, then looked up at everyone, "Let Lin Sheng out."
The conference room fell into dead silence. Without Zhang Qifeng, who would scold him immediately, Li Feng even felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why?" Colonel Xu asked after a while, "Does it have anything to do with the phone call just now?"
"The call was from Qiu Shi," Li Feng said. "Donglin Town was attacked by the symbiote, and the scale was larger than ours. Xing Bi's suggestion was to let Lin Sheng get out."
"Xing Bi?" Minister Liu frowned and thought, "Are his words credible?"
"It's more credible than mine," Li Feng said. "They have already had a battle with the symbiote. Xing Bi is also a symbiote himself, so I hope everyone can seriously consider his words."
"Is it just Lin Sheng?" Director Wu asked, "Don't you need a kite flyer?"
"Xing Bi's original words are that he alone is enough, and we can't find a suitable person to fly this kite now," Li Feng said. "If we put some restrictions on Lin Sheng, can it be achieved?"
Director Wu hesitated and looked at Colonel Xu and Minister Liu.
"We have no time," Li Feng pointed to the moving bright spot on the screen, "Isn't it obvious what they are going to do? They are looking for the general and Mr. Long."
Everyone actually knows this matter in their mind, but as long as it is not spoken out, it can still leave a buffer for some decisions. Li Feng made it clear directly. If there is a problem, no one can escape unscathed.
"Can Lin Sheng's solo action be realized?" Colonel Xu asked Director Wu.
"Short-term control like Xing Bi's last time requires time to prepare," Director Wu tapped his fingers on his chin quickly, "It may be too late..."
"Inject a limiter into his neck," Li Feng said decisively. "Set the action range to the inner city. If it exceeds, he will be killed."
Director Wu looked at him: "If there is an accident during the pursuit, it will be over."
"The failure to strictly abide by the task setting means that it is uncontrollable," Li Feng said. "If it is gone, it is gone. If it is no longer used, it will be destroyed."
Several people were silent again.
Li Feng felt that he might have lacked sleep and was a little too restrained in his words, so he added: "We all think that Xing Bi is even more uncontrollable, but so far, he is still controllable even though he is thousands of miles away from us. , be decisive, all humans here.”
The distance from the Ministry of Emergency Affairs to the exhibition hall is not far, but the road is also chaotic.
Because half of the manpower at the checkpoint has been transferred to several explosion points, the brave people in the outer city have already rushed into the inner city. For them, whether they will die or not is just a matter of one day sooner or later. Now they can grab whatever they want. , venting emotions is the most charming thing.
Li Feng was the youngest in the small conspiracy group and was just a small director. His car rushed to the front.
Stones were thrown at them or mud was thrown at them all the way. The last few refugees jumped on the front of the car and smashed the car glass with unknown metal objects in their hands, making a loud noise. The secretary huddled in the back seat and was completely frightened. sound.
"Open the window," Li Feng said to the two City Defense Department guards in the car, "shoot whoever blocks the car."
The two guards opened the car window, leaned out halfway with their guns, fired several shots into the sky, and then began to clear away the refugees from the outer city who wanted to rush forward.
Even though he knew that Zhao Lu and his gang would not get involved in this kind of thing, Li Feng still subconsciously stared at every outsider who passed by that he could see clearly, just in case any of the body collectors went crazy and entered the inner city and were captured. He was afraid that Qiu Shi would be killed if he came back.
Although Qiu Shi may not be able to come back.
The car drove into the underground of the exhibition hall, and the people in the next few cars looked solemn when they got out of the car. Seven symbiotes and a group of infected people could turn the inner city into a pot of porridge.
"Our residents have been comfortable for too long." Colonel Xu said.
"The same goes for our armed forces," Li Feng said.
"Come on, come on," Director Wu quickly raised his voice, covering up his words, "Everyone go to the emergency transport cabin. The power supply is separate, which is safer."
Director Wu glared at Li Feng when he walked into the cabin.
Li Feng sighed.
He didn't know why these people were not anxious, even with knives stuck in their butts, but they still insisted on maintaining their leadership demeanor.
The staff in the laboratory had already transferred Lin Sheng into the glass cover. Just like Xing Bi, everything was ready and now he was waiting for the injection controller.
Director Wu removed the shield, and Lin Sheng inside could now see and hear.
"Lin Sheng," Director Wu said, "How do you feel now?"
"It's okay." Lin Sheng replied, moving his neck slightly and scanning the faces of everyone in the laboratory.
"Now we need you to complete an unexpected task," Director Wu raised the injection device in his hand and shook it at him. "The specific requirements will be synchronized with you during the preparation work."
"Okay." Lin Sheng replied.
Li Feng looked at him, not wanting to compare him with Xing Bi, but after all, this was the only first-level latent guard they used except Xing Bi, so there would still be some comparison.
Lin Sheng didn't have as obvious emotions as Xing Bi. Both his expression and eyes were much colder. Unlike Xing Bi's coldness with few words, Lin Sheng's coldness was really cold, and he even had almost no body movements.
"We will now inject a controller into the back of your neck." Director Wu said.
The experimenter entered the cover and inserted the controller into the back of Lin Sheng's neck.
"This is a range controller," Director Wu said. "The range is the inner city area. You have a clear concept of this area, right?"
"Yes." Lin Sheng said.
"The mission goal is to clean up the symbiotes that have invaded the inner city. There are currently seven," Director Wu said. "If there are new targets before completing the mission, the mission goal will be added automatically. The mission will end when all are cleared. Is it clear?"
"Clear." Lin Sheng said.
"Director Li, please add something." Director Wu glanced at Li Feng.
"If the mission target leaves the inner city area, abandon the target," Li Feng said. "Guarantee the safety of Mr. Long and the general during the mission. Anyone who may hinder the cleanup mission and threaten the safety of Mr. Long, the general, and you must be protected." Can be cleaned.”
Several people in the room looked at him.
"Complete the mission as soon as possible without destroying the facilities in the inner city," Li Feng said. "In addition, do not try to control the other party's symbiote, just clean it up. We will monitor your body's feedback data in real time. Once we think you There is control intention…”
He walked over to the controller's activating device: "This will activate the controller, understand?"
Lin Sheng looked at him: "Understood."
Zhang Qifeng's car followed the army transport truck to the exhibition hall. Seeing Lin Sheng's transfer box being put on the transport truck, he looked at Li Feng: "Director Li, you..."
"I'll take your car," Li Feng opened the door and got into Zhang Qifeng's car, "it was said in the car."
Zhang Qifeng had no choice but to get back into the car and ask the driver to catch up with the transport truck in front.
"You are crazy." Zhang Qifeng said.
"Keep your people away from the target symbiote," Li Feng said. "The order Lin Sheng received is to eliminate anyone he thinks is hindering his mission, including people from the army and the City Defense Department."
If Zhang Qifeng hadn't rushed to notify the several teams he sent out, he would probably have punched him right now.
After notifying his people to withdraw from the target area, Zhang Qifeng turned his head and glared at Li Feng: "You..."
"Is Datou staying at home today?" Li Feng said, "I have to go out to shoot videos, but it is quite dangerous."
Zhang Qifeng suppressed his anger. After all, if Li Feng hadn't forced Zhang Sihai home, he would have been blown up along with the refugee in the sewage outlet.
"I will repay the favor I owe you." Zhang Qifeng said.
"I owe it to you," Li Feng said. "I like others to owe me something."
The convoy stopped next to the mountain closest to the mission target. Li Feng got out of the car and watched Lin Sheng walk out of the transfer box. He paused for a few seconds and made the same action as Xing Bi did.
He looked up at the sky.
"Let's go." Director Wu's voice came from the earphones.
Lin Sheng ran towards the road up the mountain on the opposite side.
Three refugees ran towards him carrying bags filled with looted items. Clear blood stains could be seen on the iron bars in their hands.
"Damn it." Zhang Qifeng cursed and pulled out his gun.
The refugee at the front seemed to be excited by the robbery. When he saw Lin Sheng, he let out a strange scream, rushed over, raised the iron rod in his hand, and swung it at Lin Sheng's head.
Lin Sheng didn't stop, raised his hand to catch the iron rod, and then pushed it. The end of the iron rod was inserted into the mouth of the man who was still charging forward, and passed through the back of his head.
Lin Sheng's push was so powerful that it did not stop after passing through one person's head, and then pierced the second person's head.
The person running at the end was so frightened by the scene before him that he screamed and fell to the ground. His two companions stood still for a few seconds and then fell together at his feet.
And Lin Sheng had disappeared at the end of the road above.
The battle in Donglin Town is over.
The time was actually very short, more than an hour, and both sides suffered losses.
However, when Qiu Shi and the others drove through the battlefield where the previous fiercest fighting had occurred, they discovered that the corpses on the ground were mostly human beings.
Except for the few in the jungle who were hit in the neck by Qiu Shi and the back of the neck by Xing Bi, both sides recovered their biochemical bodies as much as possible. After all, in the chaotic artillery | gun battle, they wanted to accurately hit the neck and It’s not easy. You can take it back and use it again.
Just thinking about this level made Qiu Shi feel very uncomfortable.
"Those biochemical corpses," Hu Xiaoling asked, "can they be resurrected after being brought back?"
"As long as their little square brains are not violently destroyed while connected to their bodies," Xing Bi said, "their bodies can't be too damaged to be repaired."
"A square brain?" Hu Xiaoling was stunned.
"The center, the biochemical reaction depends on the thing behind the neck." Qiu Shi explained.
"Really!" Hu Xiaoling curiously moved closer to the back of Xing Bi's neck.
"Can you," Qiu Shi pushed him away, "look like a wounded person?"
"Now I can't feel the injured half of my body," Hu Xiaoling said. "I need to distract myself to avoid pain."
"I can knock you out." Xing Bi said.
"...No thank you." Hu Xiaoling retracted his seat. Houses on the outskirts of Donglin Town were severely damaged, and some had completely collapsed.
But what made Qiu Shi a little concerned was that the residents here once again showed a completely different state from the residents of Yuncheng. They did not cry or be in a daze. They started to rebuild almost as soon as the battle ended.
"It's right to let them fight the symbiote," Qiu Shi said, "This town is not Cloud City, this is a town's army."
"Fortunately, this town is small," Hu Xiaoling said. "If the area were larger, Yuncheng would not be a match."
"The area is not small." Xing Bi said.
"It's much smaller than Yuncheng. Yuncheng has several mines connected together." Hu Xiaoling said.
"They have tunnels." Qiu Shi looked at a collapsed house. In the middle of the house, between a pile of rocks and wood, a hole could be vaguely seen.
"How did you know?" Hu Xiaoling asked.
"I guessed it." Qiu Shi didn't say much. He didn't want Hu Xiaoling to delve too much into the matters in Donglin Town. The corpse collector who lived outside the city and was not welcomed should not have any position.
Besides, the current Donglin Town is no longer the paradise that rejected biochemical bodies and left it to humans like Yuncheng. Except for a small number of original residents who joined after being defeated, these people have all been composed of biochemical bodies and immune humans. New weapons replaced it.
When he returned to Qiu Shi's treehouse, Hu Xiaoling asked, "Can we drive back to Yuncheng in this car?"
"How did you cross the river when they brought you here?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Take a boat," Hu Xiaoling said. "The boat is hidden in the mountains. There is a hole. When it is used, it is guided into the river with slide rails..."
Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly react: "Then you don't know, how did you cross the river?"
Qiu Shi glanced at Xing Bi.
"Flying here." Xing Bi said.
"Fly?" Hu Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "I saw it on the road! A group of birdmen were flying in the sky! They attacked their car. You guys are amazing, you can fly across such a wide river!"
"Yeah." Xing Bi nodded.
"How will they use their boat when we go back?" Qiu Shi quickly changed the subject. Xing Bi might tell Hu Xiaoling about his body being drained later.
"There is a crank on this side of the river," Hu Xiaoling said. "It can control the slide rail on that side to extend, and the boat can be pulled all the way to this side."
"Can you still find the place to cross the river?" Qiu Shi asked.
"Yes," Hu Xiaoling said, "I specifically noted the location."
"Reliable." Qiu Shi patted him on the shoulder.
"Although I don't want you to rescue me," Hu Xiaoling said, "but we all know that if something happens, you will definitely not just ignore it."
Qiu Shi smiled.
There was no one around the tree house. It seemed that everyone was busy rebuilding after the war, and no one cared about them.
But Qiu Shi could still feel his sight. Halfway up the stairs, Xing Bi said behind him: "There is someone in the room."
Before Qiu Shi could speak, he had already walked to the front.
But when he opened the door and entered the house, there was only one person in the house, and he was still a human being.
This man was leaning against the window, and when he heard someone coming in, he turned around and said, "Sorry, it was too windy outside, so I came in."
Xing Bi said nothing, but turned to look at Qiu Shi.
When Qiu Shi saw the man's face clearly, he knew why Xing Bi was looking at him.
It's really fucking similar.
"Holy shit," Hu Xiaoling whispered from behind, "Is this your brother?"
"My name is Qiu Shi. I came here quietly. There was no arrangement for us to meet now." The man by the window came over and stood in front of Qiu Shi. "Mayor Luo and Grandma should have told you about me." ”
"Yes... I said it." Qiu Shi looked at him with a strange feeling.
Xing Bi said that in theory, if these people wanted to keep him, they would not lie about something that was particularly easy to verify. But when he saw this person who looked very similar to himself, Qiu Shi still felt very strange. strangeness.
He looked very similar, but he was much thinner than he looked, and his skin was paler. He looked like those people in the inner city who had been living a comfortable life.
Maybe it's because he has been alone since he was a child and has no so-called relatives. The closest thing he has is the group of corpse collectors. Now when he sees this person who is basically his biological brother, he can't even figure out how he feels.
It's not a surprise, nor does it feel particularly close.
When Qiu Yu wanted to come over and hug him, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it: "No."
Qiu Yu smiled and took a step back.
"I'm not used to it," Qiu Shi said.
"Can I talk to you..." Qiu Yu looked at Xing Bi and Hu Xiaoling, "Can we talk alone?"
This younger brother, who obviously had no fighting ability, seemed to have no reason to refuse such a request.
"Then you guys wait for me outside?" Qiu Shi also looked at Xing Bi and Hu Xiaoling.
"Okay." Hu Xiaoling responded, but did not go out immediately. Instead, he walked up to Qiu Yu and said, "Sorry, let's check."
Qiu Yu raised his arms cooperatively, and Hu Xiaoling patted and checked him from top to bottom, then turned around and followed Xing Bi out.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly," Qiu Shi said and closed the door, "There's no need to talk about brotherhood. I don't feel anything about it."
"No one knows where you were taken," Qiu Yu leaned on the table and looked at him, "Our people have been looking for you, hiding and looking for you at the same time."
"Why are you looking for me?" Qiu Shi said, "In such troubled times, it's not a big deal if a child disappears."
"People who are immune to infection have one more chance of survival than others in this troubled world," Qiu Yu said. "We don't want to give up on this world, and we want more immune humans to be together, even one more. It’s like a big family, just trying to live a better life.”
Qiu Shi said nothing.
"Mom and dad led everyone to work hard to open up a paradise where everyone can live peacefully," Qiu Yu said. "There are no endless fights, escapes, and no need to see loved ones die again and again, but..."
"They are dead, and you are their son, so you can continue to be their leader," Qiu Shi interrupted, "You can do whatever you want to find me."
Qiu Yu looked at him and smiled: "You are really... a little heartless."
"I have never lived in a peach blossom garden," Qiu Shi said, "I have never expected anyone to give me a peach blossom garden, and I have not created a great peach blossom garden for anyone."
The light in Qiu Yu's eyes dimmed, and he tilted his head.
Qiu Shi saw the tears in his eyes.
"You can give it a try. You are also their son." Qiu Shi said.
"I'm not... strong enough," Qiu Yu lowered his voice, "I was sick when I was a child, and everyone thought I would die. Although I didn't die, my health has never been good. In this world, people like me will be... Eliminated, so they need you."
Qiu Shi said nothing and frowned.
"You are the truly perfect continuation of your parents. As for me," Qiu Yu sighed and touched the back of his neck, "Even if it is strengthened, you are still..."
"Strengthen?" Qiu Shi looked at his action and remembered the small gang that tied him and Xing Bi on the other side. Several humans in the group had that small square on the back of their necks.
"Well," Qiu Yu nodded, "We have to coexist with biochemical bodies. In such an environment, we need stronger abilities."
"Are you crazy?" Qiu Shi couldn't understand.
"Maybe," Qiu Yu smiled, "I actually know that even if I am strengthened like this, I can't be as strong as you, but... I also want to do something for everyone, just a little bit..."
Qiu Yu's voice was trembling, and he spoke with some difficulty: "I even thought that it would be great if you were as weak as me... Then at least I am not the worst one, not the only one who is not expected... But I also hope that everyone will be well, and that there will be a strong person standing among us... "
Qiu Shi didn't know what to say. Qiu Yu's words made him feel a little uncomfortable. He knew the kind of thing where you want to prove yourself and do something for others, but you can't do anything and no one thinks you are. The feeling of inability to do it.
He walked slowly and hesitantly in front of Qiu Yu. He just rejected Qiu Yu's hug, which might be regarded as another rejection.
He opened his arms and hugged Qiu Yu gently.
"So I hope," Qiu Yu raised his head and looked at him, moving his hands, "that person is not you."
Qiu Shi didn't react for a moment.
However, Qiu Yu's unusually raised arm allowed him to react in the shortest possible time.
He grabbed Qiu Yu's wrist.
But I still felt pain in my chest.
The knife in Qiu Yu's hand had already been halfway into his body, with the tip pointing upward and piercing through his left rib.
