Chapter 421 Another Xia Yue
These gates are inlaid with ancient runes and emit a faint blue light. They are the last line of defense to prevent the aliens from escaping.
Su Xue and others did not enter through this gate, but opened a small door through some special equipment.
And all the dramatic changes started from here. After entering this deserted and lifeless city, the recorder began to malfunction continuously.
When the recorder flashed for the last time and then lit up again, the time had jumped to two hours later.
The recorder's owner fell to the ground, groaning in pain, surrounded by cries and gunshots.
Through the recorder on the girl's chest, everyone found that she was struggling to hold a blood-stained pistol, as if she wanted to escape the scene, but her legs had been bitten by something and were bloody.
And these people didn't even seem to see what the attackers were.
"Save...save us...the things here...the things here...all, all..."
After saying this, the girl suddenly looked up to the right, and the recorder on her chest also turned to the right at the same time.
When they saw the woman walking out of a building, everyone was stunned.
Li Muhan even stood up in astonishment.
Impossible... Impossible... Hey, what's going on...
“No…don’t come over here…”
The owner of the recorder gripped her pistol and shot at the thing that kept coming towards her.
But the thing seemed to be completely unharmed and continued to walk towards the camera step by step.
Almost everyone present frowned.
Li Muhan's lips were even trembling.
"No... please, don't... don't kill me..." The girl's gun had no bullets left.
The cries and curses of the companions around him gradually began to subside, and the city seemed to have fallen into deathly silence again.
There was only the sound of the woman's bare feet walking towards her and her own beating heartbeat.
Finally, the thing walked in front of the girl. She twisted her neck stiffly, making a crackling sound. Her eyes turned blood red at this moment, and a pair of huge black wings stretched out from her back.
"Xia Yue..."
Li Muhan was already stunned. Finally, the image on the recorder fell into complete silence after the girl screamed.
At the same time, the attendees in the audience also began to discuss at this time.
The content shown in the previous video could not be clearer. This special investigation team was almost completely wiped out.
What is even more shocking is that one of the attackers turned out to be an alien currently being taken in by the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
Calamity-level vampire, Xia Liya.
"This is impossible..." Li Muhan stared at the last image on the recorder. The girl who gradually approached the recorder and showed her fangs was indeed Xia Yue.
"Could it be Charlotte... That's not right..."
"Okay." Lin Ze interrupted the discussion in the audience.
"I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you clearly that this alien isn't the vampire Xia Liya you're familiar with. This city holds many secrets, and what we're discussing right now isn't that, but these missing investigators."
Lin Ze pressed the control key and the screen switched the picture.
The screen shows the joint investigation notice issued by the Special Management Bureau and the subsequent rescue work goals.
"The General Administration has issued a document to reorganize elite personnel to enter the border city to search for possible survivors, and the personnel sent by our Tianhai City Special Management Bureau have also been finalized."
As he spoke, Lin Ze looked towards the audience.
Li Muhan was almost eager to stand up.
But Lin Ze passed Li Muhan's line of sight and looked to the other side.
"Yang Er, your third team will take the lead."
Yang Er didn't say anything, just nodded. Now he had completely put away his previous nonchalant look.
The meeting ended here, and Li Muhan stopped Lin Ze at the door.
"Director Lin, can I request to join this search and rescue operation?" Li Muhan's eyes were full of earnestness, and he looked at Lin Ze nervously.
Lin Ze's smile had returned to her face. Her eyes moved between Qu Ran and Li Muhan, and then she spoke to Li Muhan.
"Li Muhan, you are now directly under the Intelligence Department. You shouldn't submit this kind of application directly to me without going through her."
Li Muhan was stunned when he heard this, and realized his impulsiveness. He immediately turned to Qu Ran with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"Captain Qu, I...I really hope to participate in this search and rescue, because one of my team members is missing."
Qu Ran avoided Li Muhan's gaze. She wrapped herself tightly around her thin suit, her voice trembling. "Li Muhan, I know this sounds cruel, but I... I'm really sorry. I can't approve your request."
"But... Su Xue's condition is critical, I..."
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, Li Muhan, but are you sure you can beat Yang Er?"
Qu Ran's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Li Muhan's enthusiasm.
The strength of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of Guankou is on par with Sun Yan. Li Muhan knows that his current strength is not enough to compete with him.
"You, you actually have a good brain, but Li Muhan, your emotions can easily affect your judgment and lead to mistakes... I'm really sorry... Woohoo, I can't take the risk of letting you participate in this mission. Besides... you have other important tasks to complete."
Qu Ran's eyes were full of helplessness and guilt. She huddled up and looked away. There was no light in her eyes at all, as if she had lost hope in this world.
"Other missions...?"
Li Muhan also calmed down at this moment. Lin Ze patted Li Muhan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do your best. Don't worry, I sent Taozi out. I promise to send her back to you in one piece."
After saying that, Lin Ze turned around and left the meeting room.
There is a mystery hidden in Lin Ze's words.
In the last battle shown by the recorder just now, Li Muhan did not see Su Xue.
In other words, Lin Ze may know Su Xue's situation now, and she should be in no danger.
But at the same time, she also directly dispatched Yang Er to carry out the rescue mission, which means that this safety is only temporary.
And that ghost thing that looks exactly like Xia Yue...
"Let's go... Li Muhan, I, let's go to the engineering department."
Qu Ran tugged at Li Muhan's sleeve. She was wearing a pair of medical gloves and seemed to be afraid of direct skin contact with people.
"Go to the Engineering Department? Is my mission related to the Engineering Department?"
Qu Ran nodded slightly, then took Li Muhan out of the headquarters building and went to the engineering department.
"Minister, this batch of orders is coming in again."
"Why is he rushing us for an order we just placed the day before yesterday? Tell the logistics department, we're human beings, not aliens. If they think we're slow, they can just go out and outsource. Why hasn't he addressed the complaint about the cafeteria's food getting worse? And he still has the nerve to rush us?"
"Minister, the Scientific Council reported that the materials sent last time did not match the model."
"Idiot! This batch of materials is a new type with adaptive adjustment capabilities, and the error range is acceptable! Isn't this already announced?! After Wu Qin stepped down, are all the Science Council members like this?! Tell Qian Gongyue that China's materials and calculation standards are different from those abroad! Let her adapt on her own!"
Seeing Mo Qiao debugging the equipment and solving various problems while also filling out receipts, Li Muhan and Qu Ran felt embarrassed to disturb her.
In fact, the two of them had been standing in the engineering department for almost half an hour.
But Mo Qiao had no time to deal with them.
Finally, it was the deputy director of the engineering department, a burly man who couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He walked up to Mo Qiao and whispered a few words to him. Only then did Mo Qiao stick his head out from behind a huge device that was being debugged.
"Just talk when you come, don't just stand there like a dead person!"
"Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I deserve to die, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, Minister Mo, please hit me to death with a hammer... My mouth should have been smashed long ago, wuwuwu..."
“…”
Li Muhan looked at these leaders with different personalities, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart, and then he let out a long sigh.
