The woman who was sitting at the desk opposite Lao Chen didn't feel anything unusual. She continued to yawn leisurely, lamenting that the work she and Lao Chen were doing as superpowers was really tiring.
It was not until the woman picked up the teacup and drank for a long time to refresh herself, and then complained for a long time, but still did not see any movement from the other side, that she realized something was wrong: "Old Chen, what's wrong?"
"Oh no, come in quickly and take a look, Old Chen is... dead." The woman stood up and pushed Old Chen, who was buried in the table, but he suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The horrified woman immediately shouted to the special forces patrolling outside. She began to tremble uncontrollably.
The special forces team on the platform outside who received the news were stunned for a moment, and then quickly came over.
"Xiao Chen, go find Doctor Zhou." Even the squadron leader in the opposite office walked over immediately and gave instructions to a soldier behind him.
The soldier quickly ran out of the reservoir platform after hearing this. The passage was not wide, and after going out, there were two rows of houses on the left and right.
The soldiers in charge of security at the reservoir and the families of the related supernatural people are all here. No matter how many people there are in each family, there are only two rooms inside and outside.
Fortunately, the temperature in the city was not particularly cold, so everyone could barely get by. Soon, the soldier knocked on the door of one of the houses.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor was brought to the platform.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhou, to trouble you to make this trip so late at night." The squadron leader looked at Dr. Zhou with some apology.
"It doesn't matter, it's all for work." Doctor Zhou put down the medicine box in his hand and began to carefully examine Lao Chen's body.
After the examination, Dr. Zhou sighed silently in his heart and looked at the squadron leader on the side: "Old Chen did not have any wounds on his body, so it can be preliminarily determined that he was not killed by an external attack.
As for the specific cause of his death, I can't say. We need to perform an autopsy to determine it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The squadron leader was obviously relieved when he heard Dr. Zhou's judgment.
Then he thanked Dr. Zhou very politely.
Knowing that he would not be needed next, Dr. Zhou nodded in return, quickly packed up his things, and left the office in the corner of the reservoir.
After he went out, he stood on the platform of the reservoir, looking at the calm reservoir, his heartbeat accelerated. After a long while, he could only sigh and turn back to his home.
"Old Zhou, Old Chen...?" Dr. Zhou's wife looked at her husband going in and out, and his obviously depressed mood, her tone slightly uneasy.
Dr. Zhou did not answer his wife. He immediately closed the door and pulled his wife into the inner room. He lowered his voice and said, "You and Cai'er should stay at home for the next two days. No matter what happens, put it off. Don't go out."
"What happened?" Mrs. Zhou looked at her husband in surprise as he suddenly became cautious and alert.
Dr. Zhou looked at his wife and said, "Don't worry, as long as we don't go out, nothing should happen.
By the way, how many days can the food at home last?"
"I went out and bought some potatoes and sweet potatoes yesterday. Together with rice and flour, they can last us a week if we save them." Mrs. Zhou looked at her husband and did not ask any more questions.
After hearing his wife's answer, Dr. Zhou felt relieved: "Take Cai'er to bed early. Remember what I said, don't go out recently."
"Okay, I understand."
After watching his wife enter the room, Dr. Zhou began to panic uncontrollably. He was a top surgeon in a Class-A hospital and had some status.
It's a pity that at the end of the world, people with healing abilities appeared, and a surgical genius like me gradually became a useless person, so I was sent here to be the head of a clinic.
Based on past experience, he was certain that although Lao Chen's death was not caused by an external force, it was definitely not normal, because any emergency could not take someone's life in an instant without any signs.
Compared to Lao Chen's sudden death, he was more convinced that it was the result of an attacking psychic. Based on Lao Chen's ability characteristics, he guessed that the problem should be in the reservoir.
As for why he did not speak out despite his suspicions, Dr. Zhou's reason was simple: he did not want to die, and he did not want the soldiers who respected him to die.
That person was able to kill Lao Chen in an instant, which showed how terrifying his strength was. If he told the truth, the three special forces would definitely be involved. If they accidentally angered the other party, all of them would die.
There are no basic systems or rules in the end times. When gods with extraordinary powers fight each other, all they have to do is keep their heads down and remain silent, perhaps to save their lives.
On the other side, Nan Muran and the others were unaware of these circumstances and just followed the water pipe down.
Although there were several forks in the road, everyone still successfully reached the swimming pool on the rooftop of Jinyi Building.
Through the pool net, they could clearly see the situation inside the pool. Perhaps because the temperature was too low, there were not many people in the open-air pool.
"Let's go out." After Nan Muran used her psychic powers to clearly investigate the surrounding situation, she signaled Si Ye to open the net in front.
"It looks like the swimming pool hasn't been used for quite some time."
Everyone entered the swimming pool one after another. The pool board above our heads was only about fifty centimeters away from the water surface, but we were finally able to stand in the water and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qinglong used his visual ability to penetrate the baffle and carefully observe the surrounding situation: "There is no one on the entire rooftop."
