Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong turned to look at the person.
This is a middle-aged man in his early fifties, wearing a military uniform and major general epaulettes.
As soon as the cheap young man saw the middle-aged man, he immediately waved his hand nonchalantly, "Dad!"
The two patrol officers stood at attention and raised their hands in salute, "Hello, Chief."
The middle-aged man stood at attention and raised his hand in return, then glanced at his son, "If you don't want to help, why are you here? Are you lazy again?"
"No way, I don't think these two people are behaving strangely and don't look like good people..." The young man couldn't continue, Xiao Mo kept staring at him with accusing eyes.
The middle-aged major general looked at Xiao Mo and said, "Please answer my question."
Xiao Mo couldn't make up a good reason for a while, so he could only vaguely say: "We are also employed by others."
"Who? Who hired you?"
To tell a lie requires hundreds of lies to cover it up, it would be better not to tell it and let them guess, so Xiao Mo simply replied: "Sorry, we can't tell it."
The middle-aged major general glanced at the metal shape that fell on the ground and said with a very obvious hint: "You are destroying municipal public facilities."
Xiao Mo understood what he meant. The other party was threatening him. If he didn't name the employer, he would arrest them for damaging public facilities.
"I can repair communication equipment. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You were talking loudly." Xiao Mo said that he was definitely not a spy or saboteur.
The middle-aged major general gently grasped and released his right hand, glanced at the fat insect of unknown species, and said, "Kill the insect to death and follow me."
Compared with a bug that got into a metal sculpture and two weirdos hired to catch bugs, it is more important to restore communication. They originally had dedicated maintenance personnel, but the other party was seriously injured last night, and the whole city is now in chaos. It was chaotic, and it became difficult to temporarily deploy manpower. It would be best if these two people could repair the communication equipment. If they couldn't... if there was a real problem, he wouldn't be afraid of them running away.
Xiao Mo didn't expect to catch an insect and bump into the military, but he couldn't avoid it. It was not clear at night, and it was more conspicuous. He dared to bet with his life that in this chaotic period, at night , there will be police and military patrols all over the road, not to mention the city center.
In this case, it is better to recycle them generously according to the road map drawn by Xue Lihong. After all, they are catching bugs that look like vermin, not murder and arson.
Xiao Mo grabbed the bug and looked at Xue Lihong in embarrassment. If he killed the bug in front of these people, and the bug corpse suddenly disappeared...how would he explain it
Xue Lihong silently took out a glass bottle with a tight seal from her backpack, "Put it in this, maybe it will suffocate you to death."
Xiao Mo saw that it was the glass bottle Xue Lihong took out from his backpack, and immediately took it. He had no doubt that the glass bottle was strong enough to trap the metal-eating beetle.
The bugs were stuffed into a glass bottle and sealed. Because there was a problem with systematic recycling, Xiao Mo did not give the glass bottle to Xue Lihong, but stuffed it into his backpack.
The middle-aged major general turned around, Xiao Mo put on his shoes and Xue Lihong followed.
The cheap young man came to Xiao Mo and asked excitedly: "Hey, brother, what do you call me? My name is Qiu Xin, a person with nine hatreds, and a Xin with three golds. What about you?"
"My surname is Xiao, you can call me Lao Xiao." Xiao Mo was cautious and did not say his full name.
"What's the name of that consumptive ghost hero?"
"You can ask him yourself."
Qiu Xin glanced at Xue Lihong secretly, and said cautiously: "He looks so fierce."
"how come?"
"Really, don't you think that your companion is like..." Qiu Xin desperately thought about the adjective, "a super fierce blade that has been buried underground for thousands of years, has just been born, and is desperately thirsty for blood and nourishment?"
Xiao Mo couldn't help but turn to look at him, "Are you exaggerating?"
Qiu Xin shook his head, "I'm not exaggerating. I'm not good at other things, but I'm very accurate in judging people. Anyway, your companion is not like an ordinary person."
"Well, he is indeed not an ordinary person. He is a retired mercenary."
Qiu Xin clapped his hands, "That's what I'm saying! By the way, is it because he retired because he suffered from some serious illness?"
"Hmm..." Xiao Mo was vague again.
"My dear, he can still be so strong even though he is seriously ill. How powerful will he be when he is healthy?" Qiu Xin peeked at Xue Lihong with adoring starry eyes.
Xue Lihong glanced at him.
Qiu Xin's heart skipped a beat and he became honest.
When the two patrol policemen saw that the middle-aged major general was taking the people there in person, they left to do other things.
The middle-aged major general was quite transparent and led Xiao Mo and the two of them to the temporary command center without asking any questions.
"Commander Qiu, Commander Yang called just now..." A communications soldier ran forward and swallowed back his words when he saw two strangers in Xiao Mo.
"I'll fight back later." Commander Qiu waved his hand.
Xiao Mo turned these two lines of dialogue around in his mind.
Why didn't Commander Yang directly contact Commander Qiu on his cell phone
There is no fixed phone here, so 90% of the time they communicate with each other is a satellite phone. Anything that requires both parties to use a satellite phone to communicate, except for emergencies, is a highly confidential event. What could it be
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Xiao Mo did not dare to observe the situation inside the command center. When Commander Qiu brought him to the communication equipment, he took it and started testing it.
Xue Lihong stood aside silently.
Commander Qiu glanced at Xue Lihong, and Qiu Xin whispered something into his ear.
Commander Qiu nodded to Xue Lihong, and Xue Lihong nodded lightly in return.
Commander Qiu asked a communications soldier to help Xiao Mo and walked to the corner to pick up the satellite phone there.
Xue Lihong leaned lazily on the edge of a long table, and the conversation between Commander Qiu and Commander Yang fell into his ears verbatim.
"How's it going? Can it be repaired?" The baby-faced communications soldier looked at Xiao Mo anxiously.
He is a highly talented student majoring in communications technology at the military academy. He can use and repair communication equipment whether it is radio, telecommunications, network, or satellite signals.
But that is based on the fact that the main parts and spare parts are readily available. Once the replacement spare parts cannot keep up, he will get stuck.
Because of some unspeakable psychology, he didn't take the initiative to tell Xiao Mo what was wrong, just to see if he could check it out.
Qiu Xin also wanted to squeeze over to take a look, but his father threw him out to help carry the things.
Xiao Mo has been in the society for so many years, how could he not see the little thoughts of this communication soldier, but he didn't care. He wanted to repair the main unit of the communication equipment quickly, and then he and Xue Lihong could recycle it. The second gold-eating insect.
And the moment he touched the main unit of the communicator, a three-dimensional image appeared in his mind.
Xiao Mo was startled and asked the system: "What's going on?"
The signal soldier replied: "I don't know what happened, but it can't be used anyway."
Xiao Mo was alert and did not dare to speak to the system again.
"This is your ability. It has been slightly improved after you absorbed the energy crystal." The system answered very insincerely.
Xiao Mo looked at the three-dimensional picture and almost intuitively found the damaged part immediately.
"Lend me your tools." Xiao Mo said to the communication soldier.
"Hey, if you don't understand, don't open it casually."
"I'll pay you if it's broken." Xiao Mo took the tools and disassembled the machine, and quickly found the damaged mixer.
"This mixer is broken, is there any replacement?" Xiao Mo asked the communications soldier.
The signal soldier was shocked. He didn't expect that he would find the problem so quickly. This man didn't do much testing.
"No. If there was a replacement, I would have replaced it long ago. The warehouse of this thing is out of stock, and now I can't even make a temporary transfer to other army warehouses." The communications soldier said with a sad face.
"The only way is to take the mixer apart and repair it."
The signal soldier doubted, "Can you repair it? These are all ready-made modules."
Xiao Mo turned to Xue Lihong, who was standing aside and keeping her presence to a minimum, and said, "Come here and help me."
Xue Lihong instantly understood what he meant, she wanted him to cover.
Xue Lihong walked over to "help", blocking the sight of the communications soldier.
This was the first time that Xiao Mo used his "repair" ability when he had a clear understanding of it.
It was a wonderful feeling. When he was thinking about repairing the mixer, a three-dimensional diagram of the mixer appeared in his mind, and the damaged parts were clearly visible.
And the complete and normal three-dimensional diagram of the mixer appears on the other side, like some kind of contrast.
I hope it can be restored to look like the picture next to it, Xiao Mo thought subconsciously.
Then he saw... no, he should have felt it, as if there were very tiny things around him that were concentrating on the mixer in his hand, and the scorched and burned parts were being repaired bit by bit.
Xiao Mo felt that a long time had passed, but when the realization that "it has been repaired" appeared in his consciousness, he raised his wrist to check the time and found that less than two minutes had passed.
Xiao Mo hesitated for a while longer and saw that seven or eight minutes had passed before putting the mixer back into place.
"Okay, try it and see if it works." Xiao Mo stood up and said to the communication soldier.
With a look of disbelief on his face, the communications soldier switched to a channel and started calling the other party.
Soon there was a response from the opposite side: "Team Three, I am Team Three. Team Three is calling the Headquarters, asking the Headquarters to send people to blockade Nan'an Hospital! There is a monster here! It's a real monster! Headquarters, Headquarters, can you hear me?"
The communications soldier was about to answer when a big hand grabbed the answering machine, "I am Qiu Feng, is this you Zheng He?"
The other side was quiet for a while, and then shouted: "Commander! It's you! Aren't you at the headquarters? Why did you run out?"
"I'm here to find out the actual situation. What's going on there? What monster are you talking about?"
"It's a kind of creature with wings and a big belly..."
After hearing this, Xiao Mo was not going to listen any more. He had already guessed what monster the soldier named Zheng He encountered.
From the corner of his eye, Qiu Feng saw Xiao Mo and the two walking out of the command center. He thought for a second whether to keep these two people, but what Zheng He shouted on the other side immediately took away all his thoughts.
Qiu Feng secretly thought it was a pity, forget it, he is not a malicious person.
If it weren't for this kind of chaos, he would definitely not let those two people slip away from his hands easily. Those two people must know something, maybe they know more than him, and they seem to be useful. Well, there's that weird bug...
The communications soldier was very excited and wanted to stop Xiao Mo and ask him how he fixed it, but seeing that the leader didn't leave them alone, he couldn't speak casually and could only hold back.
How did that person fix it? I didn't see him take out any replacement parts. The communications soldier felt itchy and his face turned red from the unexplainable mystery.
Xiao Mo was also afraid that the military commander would keep someone behind, so he ran towards his bicycle after leaving the command center tent. Fortunately, the bicycle was still there.
The two of them got on the bike and headed towards their second destination.
"Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait!" Qiu Xin threw away the garbage he was carrying and rushed towards the two of them.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong wanted to pretend they didn't see it, but the kid rushed very fast and blocked their direction.
"Brother, do you still want to catch bugs?" Qiu Xin stopped the two of them and asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Mo looked at him with a smile. He found the boy quite pleasing to his eye, although he was a bit too cute.
"Then can you take me with you?"
"cannot."
"Don't be like this, I just want to catch a bug like that with you."
"What do you want that insect for? It's not a fun thing. It's not easy to get rid of..."
Qiu Xin quickly waved his hand, "I'm not playing with it. I raised a little thing, and it likes to eat bugs. I've never seen this kind of bug, and it's so big. I think it must like it."
Xiao Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "In this way, if there are any extra ones, I will remember to leave them for you." But he sincerely hoped that the twenty-fifth gold-eating insect would not be found again.
"That's it. My mobile phone number is 15815815888. Do you remember it?"
How can you not remember the number of such a wealthy person
Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment. Comparing his conscience with his fear of being exposed, conscience prevailed in the end. "Hey, boy, tell your dad, that kind of monster is called a giant-winged blood mosquito beast. It likes darkness and hates bright light. It's mostly in Haunts at night, has no vision, but is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. That triangular headcase has three functions: insect tentacles, animal sense of smell, and radar. These are what I saw online. You can search online. It is said that someone is offering a reward. Capture these deformed monsters.”
"Hey, brother, please speak slowly, I didn't remember it! Don't leave, brother! What on earth are you talking about?"
Xiao Mo pedaled his bicycle like a hot wheel. In fact, he regretted it after saying that. He thought maybe he should leave the city.
Xue Lihong looked at him, feeling a little funny.
