The metal door was closed and everyone was trying to figure out how to open it.
"Let me try." Lu Chengchuan asked everyone to step back. He was ready to try to open the door.
He placed his hands on either side of the door, having seen metal doors open inwards before, and wondered if he could push it open.
Everyone stepped back, Lu Chengchuan sank his feet, and slowly circulated his internal energy, pushing the strength from his waist to his shoulders, and pushing forward with his arms.
The metal door creaked loudly, but it didn't budge.
To the people behind, the metal door remained motionless. Lu Chengchuan saw more of it. He could see the metal door tremble slightly, but he was not strong enough to push it open.
Lu Chengchuan tried his best, but this little strength was not enough to open the door. After pushing for a while, he gave up.
"Can you bring the machine down and push it?"
Since it couldn't be pushed open by human power, Lu Chengchuan thought of using a machine.
But this is another big problem. The project manager looked around and said, "This is difficult to do. Small machines can't be pushed out, and large machines can't be brought in."
They were in a huge pit, more than a hundred meters deep, and large machines could not be brought in at all.
"It looks like the door won't be open for a while."
The door couldn't be opened, and Lu Chengchuan was a little disappointed, but disappointment couldn't change anything, so he could only accept it.
"Are we going to stay here?"
"Wait two days and see. We'll leave if nothing unexpected happens." Zhou Yaning said they would wait for a few days and leave if nothing unexpected happens.
After leaving the pit, Zhou Yaning reported the matter and asked the army to guard the place.
Another week passed, and nothing happened in the pit. The three regiments set up heavy defenses, and Lu Chengchuan and his men prepared to leave.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see."
At the airport, Lin Jing and his teammates came over. After lying in bed for so many days, they finally recovered from their injuries. When they learned that they were leaving, Lin Jing also came over to accompany them.
"Captain Lin, can you... take a few more days of rest?"
"I've been resting for over a month. If I continue, my bones will rust."
Lin Jing and his team recovered well, but the death of their teammate still made them sad.
The two teams boarded the plane, and Zhou Yaning immediately told them, "The plane will land at Donghai City Airport. We'll go check out the situation in Donghai City then."
"Why are you still going to Donghai City? Isn't everything fine there?"
When they heard that they were going to Donghai City, Qian Xiaoling was the first to shout out.
It's been almost two months. Is it still necessary to go to Donghai City? Why not go directly back to Guangnan Province?
"This is an order from above. Don't complain. This is an order." Zhou Yaning used a serious tone to tell Qian Xiaoling to shut up.
She knew that the team members wanted to go back, but the order was for them to go to Donghai City.
A few hours later, the small plane arrived at Donghai City Airport at around four o'clock in the afternoon, and they arrived in this bustling city again.
On the way to the Investigation Bureau, everyone watched the scene on the street. Almost two months had passed, and Donghai City hadn't changed at all. The streets were still crowded, and the roads were still congested.
As soon as they got off the car at the bottom of the office building, they saw He Yan standing in front of the office building door waiting for them.
"Mr. Lu, Captain Lin, Captain Zhou, you are finally back. Last time you left without saying goodbye, and it took me so long to find you." Seeing them get off the car, He Yan walked forward quickly.
On the day they left, he was still investigating outside. When he came back to look for them, the others said that they had left suddenly. He Yan was completely at a loss. In the end, the director sent him an explanation.
They said they had a more important mission and had to leave Donghai City temporarily.
He Yan could only accept it. Fortunately, no major problems occurred during this period. They arrested all the people who should be arrested, and the police strictly monitored the city to prevent kidnapping cases.
Although the black fog outside the city has not dissipated yet, Donghai City is still very safe.
"Captain He, I think Donghai City is quite safe, even without us."
They drove all the way here, and every street they passed was filled with people, and the car never stopped. It didn't look like there were monsters everywhere.
"Alas, who knows when an accident will happen. I feel at ease knowing you are here with me."
Back in the familiar office, He Yan told them about some of the events that had occurred in the past two months.
The investigation into the cultists is still ongoing. He Yan is also afraid that these guys will suddenly return. As long as the black fog outside the city does not dissipate, they have to remain vigilant.
After explaining these basic situations, He Yan brought the two captains to his office for a detailed discussion.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will only stay here for half a month. We have to go back after half a month."
In the office, Zhou Yaning explained to He Yan the time they would be leaving. They wouldn't be here for half a month, and Guangnan Province wasn't always peaceful.
"Half a month, Mr. Lu is going back too?" He Yan was a little anxious when he heard her say that.
It would be fine if other people left, but He Yan felt uneasy once Lu Chengchuan left. Without this great master to keep the situation under control, he was afraid that those guys would show up again.
If another powerful monster appeared, how many people would die in a densely populated city like Donghai...
"Of course, he's from our Guangnan Bureau, so of course we have to go together."
Zhou Yaning didn't want to come out and leave Lu Chengchuan here. Even if she agreed, Lu Chengchuan might not agree, and she couldn't force him to stay.
Lu Chengchuan is so powerful, who wouldn’t want him to help them?
But there is only one person like her, who would give her up?
"We are in a hurry. If the monster appears again..."
"Captain He, even if I agree, do you think I can convince him to stay? You should know that he's just a non-staff member. Our tricks won't work on him."
Zhou Yaning interrupted him again and said that there was no point in being anxious, as Lu Chengchuan's stay or departure was up to him.
With his strength, who would dare to stop him if he wanted to leave?
"You two, please stop arguing. Captain He, I think Captain Zhou is right. It depends on Mr. Lu's opinion."
Lin Jing came out to ease the atmosphere. If they continued talking like this, the two might start fighting.
Lin Jing himself had considered taking Lu Chengchuan to Sili, so that he would have a life-saving helper at a critical moment. But after thinking about it, he felt that Lu Chengchuan would not leave Guangnan Province, so he simply gave up the idea.
The people outside didn't know what the three of them were talking about. Lu Chengchuan sat by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
......
"It's so boring, why isn't it time to go back yet?"
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Qian Xiaoling and the others sat in the office of the Investigation Bureau every day. After a long time, they were so bored that they exploded.
"If you're bored, go out for a walk. I'll tell you when we get back. Don't scream and howl here."
Zhou Yaning asked her to go for a walk outside to relieve her mood.
Hearing that she could go out, Qian Xiaoling rolled her eyes, stood up and ran to Lu Chengchuan.
"Brother Lu, let's go out for a walk."
