Chapter 124 Reissue
A few of them spent a few days of leisure in the base. Of course, they were the only ones who had leisure time.
Zhang Hezhi and Xu Manwen have been extremely busy since that day. Even though their original jobs were gone, they still had other work to do. According to Xu Manwen, as long as they haven't retired, there will always be endless work to do.
Recently, there have been frequent information exchanges between the Dawn Base and the Lightning Base, and both sides are testing each other's bottom line. Now the Dawn Base also has a handle in the hands of the Lightning Base, so they have to speak carefully, for fear that the Lightning Base will be forced to go all out. By then, the internal strife in the Lightning Base will definitely cost them half their lives, which is really not worth it.
The good news is that Dawn Base has shown signs of loosening its stance. The words between the lines suggest that "it can be announced but the timing will be discussed later." Regardless of whether Dawn Base really thinks so or is just a delaying tactic to stall Dawn Base's actions, this is a good breakthrough.
The bad news is that Dawn Base has indeed discovered quite a few strangers who intended to sneak in recently, and these people were undoubtedly sent by Dawn Base.
Fortunately, Wu Xi had anticipated this, and the guards who patrolled the base daily immediately discovered these uninvited guests and detained them in jail awaiting interrogation.
Although it was called an interrogation, there was actually nothing to interrogate. Wu Xi didn't even need to guess who sent them and what their purpose was. He just asked the prison guards to go through the process, let them suffer a little and stay in jail honestly.
However, Wu Xi also told Lu Shiyu a bad thing, that is, Duan Ren and his men had secretly escaped at some point. Because most of the manpower had been transferred away, it was too late when they discovered that they were missing.
Lu Shiyu, in turn, comforted Wu Xi and told her not to worry about it, saying that even if they wanted to cause trouble, they would find Tang Zeyu and it had nothing to do with her. This made Wu Xi, who was originally quite depressed, laugh, and before leaving, she stuffed a few boxes of bullets into Lu Shiyu's hands.
Tang Zeyu was not in the hotel, saying that he was going to the prison to visit his former colleague. Chen Yunliang went to the laboratory to observe the research work on meteorites. Shaoxing Yang and Yan Hong sneaked off to play somewhere unknown.
Lu Shiyu was the only one left in the hotel today, and the unusual quietness made Lu Shiyu feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Shiyu was lying on the big bed, looking at the ceiling boredly until the sun reached its highest point. Then he suddenly sat up from the bed.
“This is such a waste of life!”
Lu Shiyu said to himself: "It's rare to have some free time, I should do something."
But Lu Shiyu couldn't think of anything he could do after thinking about it, so he decided to go out and buy some ingredients to see what kind of food he could make to pass the time.
"Dessert... I haven't made dessert in a long time." Lu Shiyu was walking on the way to the supermarket with a basket of vegetables, thinking as he walked: "Yan Hong should like dessert. Does Tang Zeyu like sweets..."
Tang Zeyu seemed to be eating silently all the time, rarely showing his preferences. The sudden thought made Lu Shiyu begin to wonder if Tang Zeyu didn't like the food he cooked.
But he is always the first to pick up his chopsticks when eating, and he always eats everything. If he didn't like the food, he wouldn't finish it all.
No, it could also be that Tang Zeyu is used to not wasting food and will finish it whether he likes it or not.
Lu Shiyu was walking while struggling with this seemingly insignificant but very troubling problem. When she walked past the glass window and saw her own reflection in the glass, she comforted herself that this was just the professional quality of a chef who cared about the diners' feelings.
While I was still lost in thought on the road, I suddenly saw a shadow behind me through the glass.
In an alley not far away, Bayard was sneaking into the alley.
Lu Shiyu instantly put aside his previous random thoughts, turned around to check Bayard's position, and just caught the whole process of him walking into the alley.
I didn't expect that I would be the first person to find the mercenary team.
Lu Shiyu raised his wrist, and on his hand was the bracelet given by Wu Xi for communication.
The bracelet has no other function except to communicate and send positioning information like a phone. This bracelet was originally intended for people who go out, so that if someone fails to return on time or encounters an accident, others can conduct a search and rescue operation. Now that all outdoor activities have been stopped, Wu Xi gave one to each member of the Eagle Team, which also facilitates their remote communication within the Dawn Base.
At that time, I thought Wu Xi was overthinking it, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon.
Lu Shiyu briefly explained to the bracelet that he had seen Bayard, sent the real-time location to the other people, and then chased after him.
When he was on the road, he ran to the entrance of the alley and stopped, then leaned sideways to see what was happening inside.
There was not only Bayard in the alley, there was also a man in casual clothes.
Occasionally, children and dogs pass by in the alley. At first glance, they seem very normal, but if you look closely, you will find that there is something strange about these two people.
The man's eyes were always stealing glances around, and Bayard's body was very stiff. It was obvious that neither of them was very relaxed, as if they were doing something bad and were afraid of being discovered.
Lu Shiyu frowned slightly. She dared to say that the man was definitely not a local.
Meeting in alleys is a habit in the Dawn Base. The alleys in the Dawn Base are a completely different dark world compared to the streets, so many criminals like to conduct secret transactions in the alleys. However, it is different in the Dawn Base. Most of the meetings in the Dawn Base are in crowded places. In contrast to the Dawn Base, the alleys in the Dawn Base are always crowded with people, which is not suitable for talking about private matters at all.
The two men were obviously new here and were not yet clear on the difference between the two bases. They were always on the alert for the occasional passers-by around them.
Lu Shiyu also concluded from this that the man was not a native of the Dawn Base, but was sent from the Dawn Base.
I didn't expect that Bayard would choose to betray the contact between the Dawn Base and the Twilight Base. No, Bayard was originally a member of the Twilight Base, there was no such thing as betrayal.
Lu Shiyu recalled the stories about mercenaries that Shaoxing Yang and others had told him, and felt that the possibility of the mercenary team doing such a thing was too high. To be on the safe side, Lu Shiyu decided to notify Wu Xi again. It would be troublesome if the mercenary team really did something that caused damage to the Dawn Base.
Just as Lu Shiyu was about to contact Wu Xi, the bracelet showed that Tang Zeyu was calling. The ringtone echoed throughout the alley, and Lu Shiyu was so scared that he almost threw the bracelet away.
"who!"
Bayard and the man were instantly alert and looked towards the alley entrance with fierce expressions.
Lu Shiyu tried to mute the bracelet in a panic, but accidentally touched the power off button. The light on the bracelet went out, and Lu Shiyu felt even more desperate.
Don't let down your guard at a time like this!!!
The man glanced at the alley entrance and hurriedly ran away in the other direction, while Bayard walked slowly towards Lu Shiyu.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lu Shiyu first looked back at the surroundings.
It was too open, and there was no other place to hide except this alley. Even if he ran away immediately, it would be too late. He would definitely be seen by Bayard who came out. Lu Shiyu didn't have the confidence to outrun a professional mercenary.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, until Bayard walked out of the alley and looked around. People were coming and going on the street, and their movements and expressions were extremely natural.
Bayard didn't find any suspects among the crowd who might be eavesdropping, and he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
While hiding under the box, Yu tried his best to lower his breathing and listened to the footsteps gradually moving away. He did not dare to come out of the box until they disappeared.
"That was a close call, it almost..."
Lu Shiyu had just crawled out of the box, and after taking only two steps, he turned around and met the person he least wanted to meet. His body froze.
"Almost what?"
Bayard played with the scarlet scimitar, a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Lu Shiyu's throat seemed to be strangled by a hand. He couldn't utter a word for a long time and subconsciously took a step back.
"Well, I remember you weren't on the Eagle Squad. You weren't part of the Exploration Squad. Even if we caught you, the captain wouldn't be happy," Bayard said, changing the subject. "But if we let you go, we'd be in big trouble. You've seen things you shouldn't have. Consider yourself unlucky. Don't be so curious in your next life."
Lu Shiyu caught a glimpse of the cold light flashing from the machete, then glanced at the bustling crowd and screamed, "Someone is robbing us with a knife!!!"
Lu Shiyu's shout instantly attracted the attention of people on the entire street. The people who had been unaware of the situation stopped to look, their gossip instinct making them stop.
Bayard, who suddenly became the center of attention on the street, seemed to be exposed under the spotlight. Bayard, who had been hiding his whereabouts, became angry in an instant, and even the disguise of a fake smile could not be maintained. He swept a terrifying look at Lu Shiyu, and scared Lu Shiyu so much that he couldn't help but shiver.
"You're dead."
After saying that, Bayard stopped hesitating and was about to chop Lu Shiyu with the scimitar in his hand. When the onlookers saw this scene, the timid ones screamed and looked away, while those who reacted quickly immediately looked for the nearest patrol officers to help.
Just as Bayard's scimitar was about to chop Lu Shiyu, Lu Shiyu subconsciously released a black hole. Bayard was distracted by the sudden appearance of the black hole, and the scimitar in his hand accidentally slipped out of his hand and was sucked into the black hole with a certain suction force.
Then the black hole closed. Bayard looked at his empty palm, his expression a little stunned for a moment, and then turned into even stronger anger.
"Damn, after all this time you do have superpowers," Bayard pulled a gun from his waist and pointed it at Lu Shiyu. "I want to see whether your superpowers are faster or my bullets are faster."
Without any warning, the bullet shot out from the gun in Bayard's hand and went straight towards Lu Shiyu. The onlookers who had just breathed a sigh of relief were worried again, but this time Lu Shiyu had calmed down and opened several black holes with ease.
The dense bullets were swallowed by the black hole one by one, and until the bullets in Bayard's gun were used up, not a single one hit Lu Shiyu.
Bayard just thought that Lu Shiyu was lucky and reached into his pocket to reload the magazine, but this time his target was no longer Lu Shiyu, but the passers-by around him.
"No more bullets? Then I'll give these back to you!"
After saying that, Lu Shiyu raised his hand, and after the black hole expanded, the bullets that had been swallowed actually emerged from the black hole, retaining the kinetic energy after being fired from the gun, and their power was not reduced at all.
The situation reversed in an instant. Now it was not Lu Shiyu who was facing the hail of bullets, but Bayard himself who fired those bullets.
Faced with the dense rain of bullets, Bayard was inevitably hit by several bullets even though he dodged. Blood gushed out from the bullet holes, staining a large area of Bayard's clothes red.
