Chapter 126

"Commander Wen has disappeared, and no one knows where he has gone. City A is leaderless now, and Commander Li and his men have also run into trouble. I was able to escape during the chaos!"

The little fox just learned the situation from the believers and hurried to the private meeting room of the church. Before he entered, he heard such a shocking news and subconsciously looked at the young man with a gloomy face.

Wen Xin said solemnly: "Don't panic, tell me clearly what happened. When did you find out that Wen Jinfeng disappeared, and what happened to Li Yongming and the others?"

The messenger gathered himself and managed to remain calm under the young man's steady gaze.

Through the other party's narration, Wen Xin learned that about a week ago, a mysterious man wearing a cloak suddenly visited the base and asked to meet Wen Jinfeng.

Wen Jinfeng seemed to know the man, and he met him personally and had a private conversation with him for about half an hour. After that, the man left the A City base in a hurry, and Wen Jinfeng disappeared the next day.

The messenger looked at the letter he had just handed over to Wen Xin, and a box tightly wrapped in cloth.

"About two hours before Commander Wen disappeared, he secretly summoned me and told me to deliver these two items to you as soon as possible. I didn't dare to delay at all along the way, for fear of delaying Commander's instructions."

Before he finished speaking, the messenger seemed to be in a state of emotional excitement, and gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Li and his men were attacked in the Military and Political Department and almost died. Afterwards, we checked the surveillance and found that the attackers seemed to appear out of thin air."

"Appearing out of nowhere?" The little fox speculated, "Could the attacker be a mutant?"

Before Wen Xin brought the messenger into the conference room, he deliberately dismissed the attendants and strictly ordered that no unrelated people were allowed to approach.

The latter seemed to have not expected someone to suddenly come in, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.

The messenger glanced at Wen Xin's reaction. Seeing that the young man showed no displeasure, he swallowed and continued, "Yes, we can't think of any other explanation except that the attacker has the ability to hide his tracks."

"We checked repeatedly many times. There are dozens of surveillance devices from base security to entering the military-political building, but none of them captured how the attacker entered the office where Chief Wen was. We asked the security personnel and guards in charge of patrols, and they knew nothing about the attacker."

The little fox suddenly became worried.

He was not worried about anything else but that Wen Xin would be upset and depressed when she knew that something happened to her only relative.

However, Wen Xin's reaction was much calmer than he had imagined. While the messenger was speaking, he untied the cloth wrapped around the box, revealing a silver-white lead sealed box inside with a six-digit combination lock hanging in the middle.

Wen Xin had seen this kind of code box during his time in the rookie training camp.

This combination box uses an old-fashioned pressure-sensitive device. If someone wants to obtain the contents through external force, the two chemicals in it will mix together during the violent disassembly process, causing an explosion, completely destroying the object and severely injuring the person who wants to steal it.

"What did Wen Jinfeng say to Doupeng? No one knows?"

"No, even Lieutenant Li Yongming was ordered to wait outside the door. No one knows what they talked about."

Wen Xin put down the box and looked through the letter. The seal was intact and there was no sign of it being opened.

The messenger rubbed his sweaty palms, his voice anxious: "Mr. Wen Xin, Chief Wen is missing, Chief Li and his men are seriously injured, City A is in chaos, and we need you to come forward and take charge of the situation!"

Wen Xin shook his head: "Me? When Wen Jinfeng just got into trouble, I suddenly rushed to City A. In the eyes of others, I'm afraid that Wen Jinfeng's disappearance and the series of chaos that happened in City A recently were all caused by me in secret."

"Are we just going to leave it alone?" The messenger became visibly excited.

"Commander Wen's disappearance will not be kept secret for long. The First Base will soon know that City A has no one to lead it. For them, that is no less than a piece of cooked fat meat. I'm afraid the First Base has already taken action against City A!"

Wen Xin rubbed his swollen and painful brows vigorously, and seemed to suddenly understand the seriousness of the matter. He murmured to himself, "According to what you said, I must bring enough people to help City A, which may be surrounded by enemies..."

The messenger looked sad. "I've heard rumors from the outside world. I know that there are many rifts between you and Commander Wen. But no matter what happened, Commander Wen is still your relative. Do you really want to watch City A fall into the hands of the First Base?"

Wen Xin did not answer him, nor did he pay attention to the little fox who was hesitant to speak next to him. He opened the letter silently.

Reading it from beginning to end, I could sense the tone of the novel being gentle and aggressive, with a rare hint of sarcasm and ridicule.

However, the owner of the letter did not explain why he disappeared. He seemed to ask Wen Xin in a casual manner about his current health. Then he changed the subject and said that he had too many enemies and the lightning damage from the Tyrannosaurus had not healed yet, and many people were ready to bring him down.

Wen Jinfeng said that he had trouble sleeping during the day and at night, and needed to take sleeping pills when necessary to fall asleep normally. The pressure was increasing day by day, and he often dreamed of things that happened in the past, such as the joke that Wen Xin liked to find potted plants to recognize his relatives.

…

No matter who reads the content of this letter, they will feel that it is a letter of help from Wen Jinfeng to Wen Xin. It first says that the injury was caused by Wen Xin to soften people's hearts, then talks about the past, plays the family card with the young man, and indirectly asks for help.

Then it is connected to Wen Jinfeng’s sudden disappearance.

Wen Xin tightly grasped the letter and let out a heavy breath: "I originally thought that cutting off contact with him was the best way to protect him, but I didn't expect..."

Facing the messenger's complicated gaze, Wen Xin closed his eyes and kept rubbing his temples, as if trying to adjust his unstable emotions.

He then took the lead combination box and turned the metal dial on the combination lock with his fingertips, making a crisp clicking sound.

After about ten seconds, there was a click.

There was an unusual sound coming from the combination lock, and the messenger raised his head subconsciously. Before he could stretch his neck to look forward, he heard Wen Xin suddenly ask him: "There is one thing I can't figure out."

Wen Xin's palm was pressed on the top of the combination box. The lid and the box fit tightly together. Just based on the sound just now, it was impossible to tell whether the combination lock was really opened.

The messenger concealed the darkness in his eyes and said, "You ask."

"How long after Wen Jinfeng disappeared did Li Yongming and the others start to attack?"

The messenger answered in less than half a day.

Wen Xin: "In less than half a day, all of them were killed?"

"No, it was less than half a day before we heard that Commander Li had been attacked, and then others had accidents."

Wen Xin asked some more detailed questions.

The messenger answered all the questions one by one without omission, but the little fox standing next to Wen Xin suddenly frowned and gave him a suspicious look.

This glance made the messenger obviously panic.

He immediately repeated what he had just said in his mind, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. But the next second, Wen Xin asked him again: "Then when did you move?"

Just as the messenger was about to speak, his face suddenly changed and his pupils constricted, because he realized there was a fatal loophole in what he had just said.

Wen Xin helped him to say it out: "You said you dare not delay what Wen Jinfeng told you to do, so from the time he handed the things to you, you should have set out immediately within half an hour to come to Wei Xin Sect to find me."

"So, how can you, who left City A a long time ago, know clearly about the series of changes that happened in City A? Does it mean that you still need to communicate with City A from time to time for the tasks that Wen Jinfeng secretly assigned to you?"

As soon as he heard this, the messenger realized that his plan was exposed, so he turned around and started to run.

However, before he could take a step forward, a sharp pain came from the top of his head. The little fox pressed him to the ground with a scarlet bloodshot in his eyes.

The pressure from an S-class mutant was something that no ordinary person could resist. He was stared at by the little fox with its strange blood-red eyes, and he instantly lost the strength to resist.

Something magical happened.

The messenger's facial features suddenly changed, like a candle slowly melting in a flame. The original outline disappeared bit by bit, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.

In a trance, he saw Wen Xin walking towards him, his voice angry and broken.

"I won't say anything. Kill me if you dare!"

Wen Xin looked at this person who could change his face and seemed a little surprised. Shao Ding said with understanding, "It seems that the person who sent you here is not Dr. Anqi."

The man was slightly stunned.

"If you were someone sent by Anzi, he would at least not have given you this story full of loopholes, and he would have also told you in advance that it was meaningless to hide secrets in front of the Pope of Idealism."

As the man's eyes widened with a look of extreme fear, the little fox moved his fingers and performed an illusion.

With the man's location as the center, invisible ripples spread in the air, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Wen Xin saw a ruin.

To call it a ruin may not be quite appropriate. To be more specific, it is an abandoned processing plant.

But the processing plant is not the point; the point is the person lying on the ground - the messenger.

The real messenger was lying on the ground, his pupils dilated and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He had been dead for a long time.

In addition to the psychic who disguised himself as a messenger, there were two other people on the scene. They searched the messenger's body and found the letter and code box, and opened the letter without hesitation.

After reading the content, the flat-headed man sneered and said, "Who would have thought that Wen Jinfeng, that mad man who had been arrogant for half his life, would end up falling into the hands of his brother and now he has to beg for help. I really want to see how miserable he is now."

The other man with a beard had a blank expression on his face, and was clearly not interested in the contents of the letter.

He turned his gaze to the silver-white code box: "Is this what General Shao asked us to intercept?"

The crew-haired man frowned and said, "Don't touch it. I may not be able to restore it to its original state."

"What's the harm in taking a look?" The man with the sideburns gave him a sinister smile and touched the suppressor on his neck. "Don't you want to know how to get rid of the control?"

Then he looked at the only Face Changer who was not wearing a suppressor and said, "Don't you want to save my mother who is being held in the base?"

The face-changing user moved his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to say to stop her.

The flat-headed man seemed to have gone through a psychological struggle, and finally questioned in a frustrated tone: "But that man, even Wen Jinfeng would call him General when he saw him, can we get rid of his control by taking the things in this box? Are you kidding me?"

"Whether it is possible or not, won't we know after just one look?"

The man with the mustache licked his chapped lips. "What on earth could it be that would make Wen Jinfeng risk his life alone and even be detained by the First Base to hand it over to his brother? I'm really curious."

The crew-haired man was obviously persuaded.

During the discussion between the two of them, the Face Changing Specialist just listened hesitantly at the side.

It was not until the man with the sideburns was about to use brute force to open the password box that he spoke up: "Hey! Is it dangerous if you just open it like this?"

"Tsk, at most they just stuff some nitric acid or something like that into the container to destroy the contents. That's the way they always do it."

"What a bunch of idiots! They definitely don't think that we, who have special abilities, can restore things completely."

The Face Dancer wants to say something else.

"Besides," the man with the sideburns said nonchalantly, "how dangerous could the thing Wen Jinfeng gave to his brother be?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and the bearded man dismantled the code box without any skill, and touched the detonator inside the code box without disappointing everyone's expectations. A dazzling white light suddenly lit up.

Bang!

There was a loud bang and a flame rose up from the ground, and the flames shot straight into the sky.

Feeling a wave of heat coming towards him, the already hesitant Face Dancer subconsciously jumped to the side. However, even though his reaction was fast enough, he was still affected and a layer of flesh was burned off half of his body!

“Ahhhhhh!”

The first person to scream was not the pale-faced Face-changer.

The flat-headed man who was also affected by the explosion and had his calf blown off kept screaming. Within his sight, the whole body of the bearded man was charred black, with only half of his bloody body left, hanging on the tree branch, staggering.

Pop.

The lead code box was no longer intact and slipped from the corpse's hand, falling to the ground with a slight sound.

The little fox watched this tragic scene, his heart shuddered, and he couldn't help but look at Wen Xin's reaction in panic again.

But Wen Xin remained calm, even relieved. He turned around and picked up the silver-white code box, and said with a look of realization, "It looks like the real thing." It was something Wen Jinfeng left for him, and it had not been swapped out by anyone.

Little Fox: “…”
