◎Captain takes action◎

Chapter 43

After briefly looking at the plant, the captain began to observe the mutant animals.

These animals were very small when he looked down from above. If he had not observed carefully and had good eyesight, he might not have been able to see them.

"It should be here. What should we do now?"

The captain looked at the scene below, thought carefully, and then headed towards the government office in the town.

It is completely possible for him to go there now, but he has to greet the authorities in advance so that he will be familiar to people and avoid panic caused by the people sent by the authorities later not recognizing him.

At this time, the mayor hung up the phone after hearing that the village chief was about to hang up, and then waited quietly.

From what he heard on the phone before, it was obvious that there were more than just one or two people with special abilities in Daxi Village. There were three currently appearing before him, not counting the locust tree that was highly protected by Village Chief Wu.

Just compare the ratio of those people on the official side who are looking for people with special abilities with the ratio of people with special abilities who have appeared in Daxi Village. The ratio is a bit scary.

What caused it?

The mayor sat in his office chair, lost in thought.

He was thinking so deeply that he didn't even notice when an abnormal shadow appeared in the house. Instead, it was the captain who was getting impatient and made some noise, which made the mayor come back to his senses.

The mayor was shocked when he heard the voice and saw the figure suddenly appearing in front of him.

"This...you are the one the village chief mentioned on the phone earlier..."

The mayor didn't finish his words, but just looked at the figure standing opposite him with a questioning look in his eyes, but he was already certain of his guess in his heart.

When the village chief spoke to him before, he did not hang up the phone. He listened to the whole process. Although he did not understand why Tang Rufeng called this ghost captain, he still remembered everything he could.

Suddenly seeing the captain appear in his office, he began to understand why Tang Rufeng called him that.

Although the figure in front of him was transparent and many details on his body were unclear, he could still clearly see something from the figure's standing posture.

Have some guesses.

"Yes, I am. You can just call me Qingzhi. You said you wanted to help me before, so I came to tell you. Now I'm leaving."

Hearing the mayor's question, the captain turned around, put down his hands that were fiddling with things in the office, and answered the mayor.

His soul was still quite weak and he couldn't lift anything heavier, so he waited for about ten minutes after entering the office. When he didn't see any reaction from the man, he reached out and fiddled with a small ornament that would make a sound as a reminder.

Now, as Tang Rufeng's abilities have improved, he can already speak briefly, but not much and can only speak as briefly as possible.

"Hmm? Is there anything else you need help with?"

The mayor saw him fly towards the window after he finished speaking and hurriedly asked.

"No, just remind the people coming behind you."

As Captain Qing said this, the figure flew out.

In other words, he wanted to make sure that the people over there were okay for the time being, otherwise he would not have wasted so much time in the mayor's office.

The mayor listened to his words and thought about them, then he understood who the people behind him were.

They are special rescue workers sent from above.

"That seems to be the case. If we can't identify the enemy and us, it won't be a good thing if we hurt either side."

The mayor said this, putting aside the other questions in his mind. Anyway, the figure had gone far away and there was no way to explain it to him. What else could he do if he couldn't hold it back?

Captain Qing didn't expect that he had only stayed in the mayor's office for about ten minutes, and the place that seemed to be fine before was now at the center of crisis.

The air was filled with the roars of stray animals and the slapping of the vines of the creeper below.

The reason was simple: someone broke into that area again.

"Huh? No one told them that it's dangerous here and they can't leave? How irresponsible."

Looking at the scene below, the captain frowned, and his transparent pale face looked a little unsightly.

If those people blocking the road ahead heard or heard what he said, they would definitely feel very aggrieved.

Of course, the authorities noticed the abnormality as soon as they received the call for help, and blocked the road section as soon as they saw the danger. The road from the city to the town has been closed to traffic for a long time.

But there are some people who don't follow the moral code of martial arts. Even though they have been told that they cannot leave, there are still people who want to leave, and they are very anxious to leave, regardless of the consequences. What can they do? They can't just cordon off the entire area and prevent them from finding loopholes, right?

People always have to pay for their own willfulness.

They can only try their best to stop it and save the obedient people.

Those who are disobedient will still find a way to climb over them in the middle of the night even if they block the roads and set up fences, and then start running wildly when no one notices them.

That’s right, they were running like crazy, which showed a lot of perseverance. They ran all the way from the city to the town, which was more than 20 miles away!

"Brother, I'm so unlucky. There's a mad dog here. If I get bitten by one, will I get rabies?"

While dodging the canes coming from the side, Chang An took the time to look at the mutant animals that were eyeing her hungrily on the side. Seeing one of them was a dog that looked very sloppy and fierce, and looked very crazy, she turned around and asked her brother.

"You are now within the attack range of this plant. Those animals will definitely not come in. They are afraid of being beaten!"

Chang Le was busy dodging the whipping vines, and took the time to follow his sister's gaze, looking at the several mutant animals squatting over there, and answering the questions his sister asked.

"Well, isn't this just to entertain you..."

Chang An turned her head and stopped looking at the ones over there. Instead, she reached out and pulled her brother's arm. With her pull, her brother narrowly avoided a cane.

"I'm really impressed by you. Do I need fun right now? What I need is for us to get around this plant as quickly as possible. We still have to go home."

Chang Le was speechless after hearing what his sister said and emphasized it.

"Alright, alright, brother, do you feel like this branch is hitting us faster?"

Chang An pursed his lips and changed the subject.

When the two of them first walked up to the plant, it seemed that the plant was not growing very fast!

Look at it now. If you pull the vine any faster, it will throw itself away, right?

As she was thinking this, she saw a bullet coming towards her, and she couldn't turn around to dodge, so she just bent down and rolled over.

"Look at how dirty you are."

When Chang Le saw her like this, there was some worry in his eyes.

Seeing that his sister was rolling on the ground and had no chance to stand up because of avoiding the attack, he said words of disgust, but his body moved around at an extremely fast speed, lashed out at his own cane, and stepped forward to help Chang An take the blow, giving Chang An time to stand up.

Chang An had anticipated her brother's possible behavior when he quickly came over. Now seeing that he was really hit, she felt quite uncomfortable, but she did not let her brother down. She took this opportunity to stand up and pulled her brother to hide aside.

The blow just now hit Chang Le directly on the chest, almost knocking him out of breath.

"Tsk... that's difficult..."

Being pulled away a little, Chang Le frowned, feeling the pain in his chest, and guessed that his ribs must have been broken.

"Please calm down. You're already feeling uncomfortable hiding, yet you come up to help me. Are you okay now?"

Chang An pulled her brother to hide aside again, and while she was insulting her brother, her eyes were red.

If it wasn't for helping her, how could her brother have been injured?

The movement on their side was noticed by the people in the other house from the very beginning.

It wasn't because of how much noise they made at the beginning, but because there were originally several mutant animals guarding their place, but because of their arrival, those animals surrounded them, and now there were no signs of those terrifying mutant animals outside their room.

How could they not see such an obvious difference?

When they saw the mutant animals move to another place, they thought it was the official rescue that the middle-aged man had mentioned. It was only when they got closer and took a closer look that they saw the brother and sister.

"These two kids are really reckless. It's so dangerous out there. Look at their current state. They didn't even drive this way. They just walked all the way here!"

Tang's mother leaned over a small hole and looked outside. After observing for a while, she said to Tang's father.

"Yeah, it's true. They're really brave. There was an accident here, and no cars were passing behind us. I guess the authorities have closed this road and are not allowing people to pass. Don't these two kids know?"

As Tang's father spoke, he also leaned over to take a look.

Next to them, the middle-aged man heard the two people talking and put down his hands that were working on the keyboard. He turned his head and looked in their direction with a questioning look.

"What are you looking at?"

"Two kids are coming over from outside. They're about to cross the edge of the plant. They're halfway through now. It looks dangerous!"

Hearing the voice, Tang's mother turned around and saw the middle-aged man. She quickly finished her words and just looked at him, as if she wanted to know if he had any solution.

After all, the couple was able to escape safely only by following each other in the beginning, and now they are hiding in this room waiting for rescue.

"Hmm? Kid?"

Hearing her words, the middle-aged man put down the notebook in his hand, put it away, and put it properly into his computer bag. After doing this, he walked forward.

"Let me see."

Seeing that he seemed to want to intervene, Tang's father and mother quickly moved to the side so that the other party could face the small hole and see the situation outside clearly.

The middle-aged man came closer and took a closer look. He confirmed that the people making the noise outside were indeed two young children. He frowned and put down his computer bag. "Could you please keep an eye on my things for me? I'll go outside to see if I can help."

As he said this, he walked outside.

But before he could walk out the door, he was stopped by other people in the house.

After observing for a period of time, they were all very sure that this person must have an extraordinary identity. He knew things that ordinary people like them did not know, and any two words he said were like enlightenment to them.

If they let this person go, and something happens later, will they be affected even if they survive?

With this thought in mind, no one else present wanted him to go out and rescue people.

"You said before that those things outside are very dangerous. People without the ability to go out could easily risk their own lives to save others. How about we just shout at them from here and wait for them to come over on their own?"

One of them said this and blocked the door to prevent the middle-aged man from leaving.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man frowned and looked at the person in front of him who was blocking his way, feeling very displeased.

When Tang's father and mother saw this situation, they didn't know what to say. After all, everyone had their own considerations. They could only say that they didn't object.

People are selfish. If you ask them to go out and save someone, they will definitely not go.

Because they are not just themselves, there are elderly people at home who need to be supported and a child with poor health who needs to be taken care of. The existence of these people is a responsibility, and they cannot just act on their own will.

So when they see someone trying to go out and save people, they won't object, but when they see others trying to stop them, they won't say anything in agreement. They just look at the middle-aged man, waiting for his answer.

The middle-aged man's answer was very simple. Compared with his skills, the people present were all weaklings. How could they stop him so easily?

He dodged, gently pushed the person away under the astonished gaze of the person opposite, opened the door and walked out.

This door is specially made. It is difficult to break through from the outside, but it is still easy to open from the inside.

I had just walked a few steps outside when a cat with fierce eyes jumped out from the corner.

The other party was very fast. Just as he took a few steps and was about to step out of the building, it jumped out when it saw an unobstructed place and pounced straight at the middle-aged man.

Kick the cat out.

The middle-aged man turned and ran towards Chang'an Changle.

The closer he got, the more clearly he could see the current condition of the two people.

"You're getting too close, come towards me!"

He didn't care that he might attract the attention of the mutant animals who were staring at the two of them, and shouted in their direction.

"Brother, there's someone over there! Shall we go?"

Hearing the sound, Chang An struggled to pull his brother over a vine and asked his brother next to him.

"Walk!"

Feeling the pain in his chest, my brother didn't waste any words and agreed directly.

If they delay any longer and can't find a solution, the two siblings will die here today.

But before they could head towards the middle-aged man, the mutant vines closest to them seemed to have noticed their intention to retreat, and the vines they pulled out were even more densely.

In a moment of carelessness, Chang Le and Chang An were beaten to the ground. Before they could dodge, they were beaten several times in a row. Their bodies were filled with pain, which felt like it was piercing their hearts.

Taking advantage of the brief time when they were unable to move, one of the main branches of the climbing plant stretched out towards the two of them, and it seemed that it was preparing to tie them up and make them its nutrients.

Seeing this critical moment, the middle-aged man in the distance wanted to rush over and take the two away, but his previous shout had already attracted the mutant animals that were staring at the two siblings.

Seeing him like this, seemingly not very prepared and very easy to attack, how could those mutant animals miss such a good opportunity? They jumped and headed towards the middle-aged man.

In an instant, it went from being a crisis to a crisis between two parties.

In comparison, the middle-aged man is slightly better. He is good at fighting and can resist temporarily, but there are many mutant animals. If they keep staring at him and attacking him, his physical strength will have a limit and he will not be able to withstand the continuous attack.

The people in the room who were staring at this scene began to scream in their hearts, muttering "It's over, it's over, it's over..."

"We should have worked together to stop him before. Can he get away with it now?"

One of them said, his face full of worry.

"It's useful to say it, now it depends on whether he still wants to take care of the two kids who are already halfway into the coffin. If he doesn't care, he will retreat immediately. His skills should be able to do it and he can still survive. If he still wants to take care of it, looking at the current situation, there is no way."

The person who had stopped the middle-aged man from leaving said this.

But thinking of the middle-aged man's determination to go out, no one present was sure whether he would choose to come back.

Everyone was guessing, but no one had a specific answer.

"Outside! What's that?!"

Just as they were looking outside and thinking anxiously, suddenly, someone pointed at the sky, his eyes widened, and his tone was surprised.

Hearing his voice, everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

I only saw a blurry and transparent figure standing in the sky, and in his hand, I didn't know what was flashing.

The people present watched as the light shone on the plant and the attacking mutant animals, and they could clearly see that their attacks began to slow down.

It was as if something was suppressing their aggressiveness and preventing them from using it.

Like an inverted pressure field, it does not allow any action beyond what it allows.

When the middle-aged man noticed the abnormality, the first thing he did was not to look up at the sky to find the source, but to kick away several mutant animals that had just been attacking him and were now suppressed and could only move slowly.

Then he turned and ran to the other side, pulling the two siblings out of the attack range of the mutant plants.

After he pulled the two siblings away from these mutated animals and plants, he stopped and looked up at the sky.

"What's this?"

In the sky, behind the light, there was a seemingly transparent shadow, holding a glowing object in its hand, looking towards them.

Because the light was soft, they didn't feel uncomfortable even when looking at it, so they still had time to ask this question.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he spoke.

As far as he knew, among the people with special abilities received by the Flower-Growing Country, there was no one with such ability who could suppress mutated plants and animals!

This was the first case he had discovered in all the time he had been searching for information!

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Chang Le and Chang An just recovered from their shock and followed his gaze to look up at the sky.

"Transparent. Has our world become so fantastical that everyone is transparent?"

Chang An did not answer the middle-aged man's words, but just let out an incredible surprise.

"He should have helped us block the attack of these things just now, right?"

Chang Le looked up at the transparent figure hanging in the sky and gave a reminder.

"Hmm, awesome! Could this be someone coming to rescue us?"

Chang An nodded, staring at the figure in the sky with bright eyes.

The captain hanging in the sky saw that the situation below was temporarily under control, and was somewhat amazed at the ability of Xiao Ling'er in the leaf in his hand.

After controlling his evil spirit and making sure that the locust leaf could remain floating in the air, he let go of it and slowly fell to the ground.

When they got closer, the three of them could see the face of the transparent figure clearly.

Unexpectedly, after seeing clearly, the three of them immediately ruled out the idea that people became transparent because of their abilities.

Just based on the other person's aura, no one would ever regard him as a human being!

"Scared to death."

As soon as the captain landed on the ground and floated, he saw the dumbfounded looks of the three people. He tilted his head and asked, with a hint of confusion on his handsome and transparent face.

There was no noticeable change in tone.

Hearing the voice, the three of them came back to their senses and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you for your rescue. Is this the official rescue you requested?"

After thanking him, the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes and no."

The captain said this and stopped talking.

He was having a hard time speaking now, and saying more would be a waste of the ability Rufeng had given him.

He was reluctant to use it so quickly, so he saved it so that he could spend more time with Rufeng after returning.

Looking up at the locust leaves floating in the sky, he clenched the remaining leaf in his hand, turned around and floated to the building he had seen before, stood in the shadow, and waited for the official people to come and deal with these mutated animals and plants.

He has a clear position on himself. He is here to be a courier for a short period of time to control the situation. He can't do more and can only wait here.

Because he is a ghost, he doesn't like to stay in the sun, so it's better for him to stay in the shade.

Although the captain didn't say anything or give any reminders, the people who were trapped in the house slowly walked out, staring curiously at the mutant animals and plants that were pressed down and moving slowly on the ground.

Tang's parents were also among them, but when they came out, they were carrying their own luggage and the middle-aged man's luggage.

As soon as they came out, the first thing they said to the middle-aged man was that they were leaving first.

"Thank you for taking us into hiding. Now that the mutants here have been suppressed, we want to leave first and not wait for official rescue. Anyway, we are not far from the town now, so there should be no problems later."

As Tang's parents spoke, they handed over the middle-aged man's luggage.

After hearing what they said, the middle-aged man expressed his understanding.

"Well, you guys should stay away from that mutant plant now. It has some attack capabilities. Once you get past it, there won't be any danger when you get to the town."

The middle-aged man gave a reminder.

Why did he know so much? Of course it was because his good nephew told him.

Ever since receiving his call for help, his nephew has brought people here to check. There was no problem walking forward, but when they arrived at this place, they were stopped by mutant plants.

They couldn't come over, and I couldn't go over either, so I could only stay like this.

After hearing his words, those who had been hesitating whether to take this opportunity to leave the dangerous area, almost before they could react, had already run back to the room they had been staying in, picked up their luggage and ran away.

Why not take this opportunity to go back to town? What if there is no next chance?

The movement in this area was soon noticed by the people sent by the mayor to keep an eye on it. The mayor and the people keeping an eye on this area only knew about it for a few minutes.

Knowing that the mutated plants and animals here have been controlled.

The first thing he thought about was whether he could bring people to kill this thing?

With this idea in mind, he wanted to take action.

But before taking action, he changed his mind and called his uncle, wanting to hear his uncle's opinion, who had started dealing with those mutated creatures after the changes in the world.

What opinion could Uncle Xiao have? He even wanted to call his brother directly and let his brother, who usually looked serious and like a fake person, see how unconventional his son's ideas were.

"What are you thinking? You think you're just chopping cabbage? Can you compare a level 1 account with a level 10 boss account? Can you break through their defense?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He didn't think about leaving when he watched others leave. He now had someone he wanted to observe more.

Anyway, the official rescue team is on the way now. He looked at the distance between himself and them and thought they should be here in less than two hours, so it won't have any impact.

He looked up at the sky and saw that he was standing right under the light. Only then could he see clearly what was in the center of the light.

A very small leaf.

"What are your leaves made of?"
