Chapter 48
On the other side, Lin Nan, who had chased Wen Xin out of sight, finally found other teams that came to support him.
When they heard that all the people in the first and second teams were killed, the faces of the team members changed drastically.
They didn't dare to delay at all. They got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed back to the base in a hurry.
Li Yongming is gathering the troops.
His face was calm, but his eyes could hardly hide a trace of anxiety.
It was because the team members who were sent back by Wen Xin just heard the news that other bases had intervened.
Now more than ten hours have passed, and emergency calls have been sent out several times, but there has been no response from the other end of the mission.
This means that something might have happened to the large troop, and even Wen Xin is in danger!
Li Yongming felt extremely regretful.
He only saw Wen Xin working hard, but he didn't expect that this kid would be so impatient and couldn't wait to accept the mission and leave the base to earn merit.
And what a coincidence, I received the task from Zhang Quanyong!
Li Yongming felt uneasy even when he was standing, and paced back and forth.
He knew that because Zhang Quanyong was related to the development of the zombie virus vaccine, this mission was classified as a special rescue operation, so the real mission content was only known by those few people, and it was kept strictly confidential from both superiors and subordinates. It was normal for Wen Xin to receive the debt clearance support mission without any defense.
But he still almost vomited blood.
Why did Wen Xin accept this mission when he didn't take so many simple, easy missions with little survival pressure?
Soon, Lin Nan and other members of the team came back.
The first thing he said was news that was enough to give Li Yongming a heart attack.
All members of the detachment were wiped out, and Zhang Quanyong was not at the target location at all.
Wen Xin was kidnapped by a group of foxes that looked like mutants and has been missing ever since.
Li Yongming: "Fuck his mother..."
Lin Nan and other team members lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Yongming's ugly and furious face.
The latter took a deep breath and swallowed the rest of the swear words with all his restraint.
Li Yongming held his forehead, which was throbbing with veins, and turned to the clerk and said, "Right now, use all possible means to contact Officer Wen. Go!"
This matter is of great importance and is beyond his ability to decide.
According to the itinerary, Wen Jinfeng has entered the signal coverage range of the base station in City A. He no longer needs to find a signal tower that has not collapsed to send a telegram before contacting as before.
Li Yongming had just contacted Wen Jinfeng not long ago.
It was that time that Wen Jinfeng found out that Wen Xin had run out before he was about to come back, and he couldn't help but scolded him in a low voice: "Nonsense."
This time, Li Yongming reported all the current situations to the other party with sweat on his forehead, but the person on the other end of the line did not speak for a long time.
Wen Jinfeng's breathing rose and fell, sounding particularly heavy as he tried hard to suppress his emotions.
But he didn't hold back and curse like Li Yongming did.
He just said slowly, "I will be back in about an hour, no more than ten minutes at the latest."
"Invite them to my home until I come back."
Li Yongming's heart skipped a beat.
He swallowed and asked harshly, "Boss, what do you mean by 'they'?"
"Supervisors and everyone above."
That pretty much covers all levels of management!
Li Yongming moved his mouth but could not speak.
By the time he came to his senses, Wen Jinfeng had already hung up the call.
Recalling the other party's calm voice, Li Yongming felt as if a terrible storm was roaring towards him, and his already sweaty palms became even colder.
Early in the morning of that day, before daybreak, the survivors who were not asleep in the A City base heard a series of orderly footsteps coming from outside the house.
They cautiously opened the window curtains and saw a large number of troops pouring out. They were so scared that they immediately retracted their heads.
.
Qiu Zhen, the third-in-command of City A, never expected that he would be snatched from his bed and held abducted in his own lair.
His first reaction was that people from other bases had entered City A. His eyes turned fierce and he was about to pull out the gun under his pillow.
But the next second, Qiu Zhen recognized the person in front of him.
"It's you!"
The last time they met, this guy was standing guard at Wen Jinfeng's office. When he saw him coming, he saluted him respectfully.
Now the man grabbed his arm forcefully, with only indifference on his face.
"We are just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us, Commander Qiu."
Qiu Zhen: “…”
He was furious: "Wen Jinfeng, what do you mean by this?!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the businesslike young man in front of him tear off the tape and seal his mouth.
Qiu Zhen's cheeks turned red: "...Mmmmm!"
He was still lying on the bed, wearing only a pair of underwear.
Seeing that Wen Jinfeng was not joking and was ready to fight for real, Qiu Zhen only had time to grab a bed sheet to wrap his lower body.
The soldiers forced him into the car.
Qiu Zhen was holding back his anger along the way.
It was not until he arrived at Wen Jinfeng's mansion and saw a room full of people tied up that he was shocked to find that he was only handcuffed on the wrists and was actually treated well.
Then, his rage became uncontrollable.
Considering that Qiu Zhen still had several troops under his command and there was a danger that he would rebel if forced into a corner, Wen Jinfeng's men did not dare to treat him too harshly and tore off the tape after arriving at the location.
As soon as a cut was made on his mouth, the other party's earth-shaking roar almost blew the roof off.
"Tell me, f*cking you, does Wen Jinfeng want to rebel?!"
A bunch of people were suddenly forced into the room. They arrived earlier than Qiu Zhen and were a little tired from the noise just now. They were listless and silent.
As a result, he was instantly perked up by Qiu Zhen's loud roar.
The angry and impassioned "Mmmmm!" sounds rose and fell in the house.
The sound is so noisy and the content is so vague, it's like putting a cat on a piano and letting it clatter around.
...It can be seen that everyone tried hard to express their resentment and anger, but the tape on their mouths really limited their ability to speak sweet words.
Qiu Zhen just wanted to know what was wrong with that moody lunatic Wen Jinfeng this time.
However, after listening for a long time, I didn't hear any useless information.
Most people were as confused and bewildered as he was.
Qiu Zhen looked around.
He found that everyone present was from the management of the A City base, and there were a lot of familiar faces. A strange thought popped into his mind.
Qiu Zhen knew that Wen Jinfeng and the old chairman of the Regulatory Commission had always been at odds. In fact, he also couldn't stand the old bitch who liked to do things behind people's backs.
But Wen Jinfeng shouldn't have done such a ruthless and almost hostile act to the old president, right?
Facts have proved that Qiu Zhen was wrong.
He underestimated Wen Jinfeng's courage.
When Qiu Zhen saw the old president with handcuffs on his hands, three layers of tape on his mouth, and a gloomy face sitting in a chair, his face began to twitch wildly.
The current power division in the base can be described as 4:4:2.
Wen Jinfeng is four, the old president is four, and he is two... Bah, no, two!
Qiu Zhen was abducted himself, so at most he would be angry for a while and then ask for some hush money and benefits.
But the old president was also arrested. If Wen Jinfeng didn't handle the situation well or couldn't give a reasonable explanation, all the land in City A would be overturned afterwards.
Qiu Zhen was unsure and increasingly suspected that Wen Jinfeng wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seize power.
So he looked at the old president's wrinkled face, endured the disgust, and helped the man tear off the tape.
Qiu Zhen: "Hey President Zuo, do you know Wen Jinfeng..."
The old president ignored him.
The moment he was able to speak, he was like a silent speaker that suddenly exploded. He slammed his hands on the table and cursed in anger.
"When Wen Jinfeng came to discuss cooperation, I knew he had ulterior motives, and it turned out just as I expected!"
"Everyone has seen it today, right? Since he dared to send troops to round us up this time, he will dare to let the army point their guns at our heads next time and dominate City A!"
"How can we keep such an ambitious person?!"
Qiu Zhen: “…”
He looked at the people in the room who were incited by the old president's few words and were filled with resentment. He felt a stomachache for a moment.
I can't control it, and I don't want to control it.
Qiu Zhen looked at the troops surrounding the room, knowing full well that there was no possibility of escaping. He sat depressed on the sofa, waiting for Wen Jinfeng to come back and give an explanation.
People didn't have to wait too long.
About ten minutes later, the tightly closed door was pushed open.
A man in a black windbreaker appeared in front of everyone.
He was thin and bony, with long and narrow eyebrows and a pair of eyes as black as a cold pond. He gave people an inviolable aura. When he walked into the house, he seemed to be wrapped in the cold wind of the night, and the hem of his windbreaker danced fiercely.
When they saw the real culprit appear, the people who were cursing just now stopped immediately.
But when they remembered that they still had the support of the old chairman of the base supervisory committee, they immediately seemed to regain their position and opened their mouths to question.
Wen Jinfeng's movements were faster than theirs.
That was an action that no one expected.
Bang!
Along with the gunshots, a heart-wrenching scream rang out among the crowd.
“Aaaaaa——”
The warm liquid splashed onto the face of the nearest person.
They lowered their heads in confusion and saw the blood rapidly spreading out from the victim's thighs. Their blank faces were gradually filled with fear.
I didn't have time to scream.
Bang!
Wen Jinfeng's hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock. While the victim continued to scream and twist in pain, he accurately shot him in the calf again!
And then.
Bang! Bang!
Four shots in a row, one shot in the left thigh, one shot in the left calf, one shot in the right thigh, and one shot in the right calf.
It is not fatal, but it causes the person who is shot to suffer excruciating pain.
Wen Jinfeng handed the gun in his hand to Li Yongming, and walked towards the crying person with quick steps.
At this moment, everyone's curses, doubts, and hatred were all shaken back into their stomachs by the four consecutive and steady gunshots.
They watched Wen Jinfeng approach the injured.
Said nothing, asked nothing.
Wen Jinfeng slammed the man's head hard on the table, and another scream echoed throughout the room.
"ah--"
The old president was shocked and shouted angrily: "Wen Jinfeng, do you still have the law?!"
Although he tried to be patient, there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice when he saw this man who did not play by the rules.
"King's law?"
Hearing this word, Wen Jinfeng stopped what he was doing, turned around, and stared at him with dark eyes.
Although there was no expression on the man's face, it made everyone feel cold to the core.
Suddenly, Wen Jinfeng smiled.
He said: "I was too reasonable before, which allowed some rats to emerge from the dark gutter."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Jinfeng grabbed the man under him and smashed him down hard!
This time, even the pear wood table was almost shattered.
Everyone could see that Wen Jinfeng had murderous intentions and had no intention of holding back, including the person being beaten.
A large blank space appeared on his face, and he felt the fear of death very clearly.
Wen Jinfeng would kill him.
It would really kill him!
When the man was about to attack again, the man finally collapsed in extreme pain and anxiety, with tears, snot and blood mixed together.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have attacked your brother. I shouldn't have sold his whereabouts to people outside the base. Please spare me, please let me go!"
After hearing this, the confused people finally understood why Wen Jinfeng suddenly did this to people.
They looked at each other in confusion.
Then there was another gunshot, causing everyone to turn around and look.
After getting the answer, Wen Jinfeng did not waste any more time and decisively asked Li Yongming to deal with this person.
Finally, he took the handkerchief handed to him by his adjutant and wiped the blood off his fingers.
"In fact, I already have solid evidence that he sold the base information, but the process would take too much time, so I decided to be quick and easy and let everyone laugh at me."
Everyone...can't laugh.
This is the brilliance of Wen Jinfeng.
From the time he entered the door until now, the other party had not mentioned anything about selling information, but the person who confessed could not help but say it out, instantly eliminating the suspicion that Wen Jinfeng was forced to confess.
Even if Wen Jinfeng didn't produce any solid evidence afterwards, no one could do anything to him.
How else to say it?
Could it be that the person who confessed could hear Wen Jinfeng's inner voice, and therefore begged for mercy according to his wishes?
It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
That must be because the deceased had something to hide and knew clearly what he had done wrong, so he confessed the truth.
In the deathly silence, someone spoke timidly: "Well, then is this matter resolved? We didn't do anything, can you let us go first?"
He admitted that he was kidnapped for no reason and was filled with anger.
But now, he doesn't want to pursue anything anymore. He just wants to stay away from the devil Wen Jinfeng, as far as he can!
There are many people who share the same idea as him.
Don't mention that everyone just acted as if they wanted to tear Wen Jinfeng apart. He's just a paper tiger, alive and well. Who would want to fight him to death?
"Don't be impatient." He sat in front of the old president who had been speechless for a long time, and laughed softly, "The first traitor has been dealt with, isn't there a second one?"
"I don't know how many of you know Zhang Quanyong. As far as I know, he is the key to developing the vaccine."
The word "vaccine" made everyone look up in shock again.
Even Qiu Zhen, who seemed indifferent to everything, showed a look of surprise.
"Are you talking about the vaccine for the zombie virus?"
"Yes, that's it. As long as you can get the vaccine, it's equivalent to getting everything: money, fame, reputation, power, and even a golden ticket to immunity from death."
Qiu Zhen's eyes turned red. What does the zombie vaccine mean? Who living in this doomsday doesn't know this?
"Where is the man you are talking about?"
"Maybe he was kidnapped, or maybe he's dead."
"What?"
"Don't understand?"
Facing the emotionally unstable people, Wen Jinfeng's smiling face gradually turned colder, as cold as a winter river that had not melted for a thousand years.
"He may be dead, like the hundreds of soldiers who were dispatched from the corps to participate in the rescue operation this time. He may have been kidnapped, like my stupid brother who was born with a lack of brains and went wherever there was danger."
He stood up, walked beside the sweaty old president, and spoke word by word.
"My warriors have undergone rigorous and demanding training. The storms of the apocalypse did not defeat them, nor did the sharp teeth and claws of the zombies kill them. Instead, they died at the hands of their own people."
"My younger brother, my only family member, was also dragged into this and I don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Wen Jinfeng leaned down and whispered in the old president's ear: "Tell me, if I'm not angry, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable?"
His words were full of suppressed madness, and his fingertips pointed at the back of the old president's head, making people feel that it was not a finger, but a loaded gun.
The old president's throat moved, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Wen Jinfeng's men suddenly bring in a few iron cans.
The dark liquid splashed onto the floor, and someone immediately smelled the strong odor.
"Gasoline, it's gasoline!"
Everyone was horrified.
"Oh my god, Wen Jinfeng, what do you want to do? Are you going to burn everyone to death?!"
Wen Jinfeng stood up slowly, looked down at everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm here too, right?"
"The person hiding in the dark is too cunning and too vicious. If we allow such a person to continue to harm the base, it may not be long before we are wiped out by others."
"If that's the case, burning our boats is a good way to deal with it."
"Of course." He emphasized, "I still don't want to do this unless it's necessary. So please cooperate with the investigation, find the traitor as soon as possible, and let everyone go back as soon as possible."
Looking at Wen Jinfeng's impeccable smile, everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
That night, the A City base was subjected to a major cleansing.
Due to the sudden disappearance of the management, the base was shut down for most of the day, causing a lot of trouble, before gradually resuming operations.
Wen Jinfeng took this opportunity to clean out those corrupt officials in the Regulatory Commission who were involved in bribery and collusion with foreign enemies. In an instant, more than half of the people in the Regulatory Commission were gone, and even the old chairman almost lost his life.
After this incident, the three giants of the A City Base existed in name only, and the balance of power tilted dramatically towards Wen Jinfeng.
No one dared to touch Wen Jinfeng's mold anymore.
…
Sitting in the office chair, Wen Jinfeng had a dark shadow under his eyes.
He had been up for two days and two nights, and rubbing his forehead constantly did not relieve his sleepiness at all.
Wen Jinfeng asked hoarsely: "...still haven't found it?"
The bodies of the detachment members have been recovered, and those who were not infected and turned into zombies have basically been buried.
Only Wen Xin is still missing.
Li Yongming looked gloomy, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wen Jinfeng with a wave of his hand.
"Forget it. I'll sleep for four hours. When I get up, I'll personally take people to the southeast region to ask questions."
Although he said "asking", his words were filled with an uncontrollable murderous aura that made people shudder.
Li Yongming pursed his lips: "But sir, the Idealism in the southeast region has disappeared..."
Wen Jinfeng raised his eyelids, frowned and looked over sternly: "Who did it?"
Li Yongming: "The intelligence said that it was the bishop of Idealism, who was also their chief bishop, who personally killed them."
Wen Jinfeng almost thought he was hallucinating.
When Li Yongming heard this information for the first time, he was as incredulous as he was.
He glanced at Wen Jinfeng's face and said in a harsh tone, "Also, there is one more thing."
"Earlier you asked us to take the news to other bases and issue a large reward for finding Wen Xin's whereabouts."
"But when our people went there, they found that we were not the only ones looking for Wen Xin. People in the west, east, and south had issued wanted warrants everywhere, and the time limit was within a few days."
"Because the bounty offered by those unknown groups is five times ours, we may need to pay more to get priority among the mercenaries."
Wen Jinfeng: “…………”
.
Three days ago.
The moment he saw the pink ball, Wen Xin's pupils trembled.
When I came to my senses, I had already held Tuanzi tightly in my arms.
"Xiao Qi..." Wen Xin's voice trembled, "It's Xiao Qi, right?"
There was an indescribable timidity and guilt in the pink girl's eyes, and she almost burst into tears when the young man hugged her like that.
But before it could say anything, Wen Xin, perhaps due to emotional excitement or exhaustion, staggered and fell down again.
The little fox was startled and quickly swung out its big tail to cushion his back.
With a bang, the soft tail was almost flattened.
But compared to before evolution, the little fox felt only a slight pain, which could be completely ignored.
Even when he was unconscious, Wen Xin subconsciously held the little fox in his arms, as if he was afraid of losing it, and he held it very tightly.
It was so tight that all the fear of homesickness disappeared like a wisp of smoke in this unreserved embrace.
The little fox lowered his head, looked at Wen Xin's pale and almost transparent face, and licked the other's forehead with heartache.
"Hmm..."
Sorry Wen Xin, I'm late...
After this coma, Wen Xin slept for a whole day.
When he woke up again, the little fox was no longer by his side, and he could only hear a cold rebuke coming from outside the door.
"You almost caused me to lose him, and you're asking for my forgiveness?"
