Chapter 12 Following the Captain, You Feel Quite Awkward
"Should we pursue them?" Xu Feng asked, worried that the advanced species might not have been completely eliminated, lest it cause more trouble later.
Sui Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Even if we chase after them now, we won't be able to catch up."
He glanced at Lv Zhi, who was standing with Lin Zhi not far away. The man was leaning against a lamppost and coughing, but it wasn't as bad as before; he wasn't spitting blood anymore.
Sui Cheng subconsciously felt that the revival of the newly mutated person was related to the law enforcement.
This man is shrouded in mystery. When you get close to him, you can sense his sincerity, but you can never truly understand him.
Sui Cheng patted his pocket, and Xu Feng noticed his subtle movement. Surprisingly, he knew what Sui Cheng wanted, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his own bag and offered one to Sui Cheng. "Want one?"
"Hmm." Sui Cheng lit a cigarette, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes. He suddenly asked Xu Feng, "Have you ever been pursued by someone?"
Team leader Xu nearly choked on her cigarette smoke and quickly said, "Why are you asking this? You wouldn't happen to be...?"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhi walked over, glanced at the cigarette between Sui Cheng's fingers, and just as he was about to touch his lips, he took the cigarette away with an extremely natural movement, bit his lip, took a puff, and coughed violently from the choking.
"Cough cough cough, why do you like this kind of thing?" Lu Zhi's expression twisted.
Xu Feng was dumbfounded. He pointed at the entourage and then at the executioner, his expression incredibly vivid. "You..."
With a hint of anger on his face, Sui Cheng snatched the cigarette away, threw it on the ground, stomped it out, and said coldly, "With your health, you still smoke? Aren't you afraid of smoking your way to death?"
Lu Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sui, you really are like a boss controlling her man..."
Before he could finish his teasing remark, he was glared at by the attendant, and Lu Zhi immediately shut up, changing the subject to say, "A man who controls his own wife."
"Lawyer, you are really... a scoundrel!" Sui Cheng was indeed angry with him. This was the first time in his life that a man had teased him like this.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I won't take it from you next time."
Lu Zhi patted his arm and spoke in a coaxing tone.
Xu Feng felt increasingly uneasy. Weren't these two being a little too ambiguous? He recalled the question his companion had just asked him.
Wow! This sickly-looking man seems to be following Cheng, doesn't he?
Holy crap, this is an absolute bombshell!
Xu Feng's thoughts were written all over his face. Sui Cheng interrupted his daydreaming and said, "Captain Xu, we need to prepare to find the second high-level species immediately."
Xu Feng's attention was indeed diverted, and he said, "The advanced species already has a basic understanding. It might know the current situation. If it hides, it will be really hard to find in such a big city as Furong."
"The people sent by the plunderers have been mostly dealt with, so we can conduct a large-scale search now."
"good."
They dealt with the corpses on the ground first, and then Xu Feng threw a fire on them.
If these corpses are not dealt with, they will become nourishment for those alien species, making them stronger. In particular, since the superhumans themselves possess energy, they will become even more nourishment for them.
According to the information, traces of advanced species had been found in three places, so they searched those three places.
Because higher-level species are generally larger than other species, it takes them time and effort to move their territory.
But animals are a different story. These kinds of exotic species are not to be underestimated. They were the first to be eliminated. Now, except for animals in mountainous and coastal areas, most of them have been wiped out.
The vehicle was moving quickly when Sui Cheng felt a weight on his shoulder. He glanced to the side and saw that Lu Zhi had fallen onto his shoulder.
It doesn't look like it's sleeping; could it be that it's dizzy?
Sui Cheng instinctively checked his breathing to make sure he was still alive.
Lu Zhi's breathing was long and shallow, not as hot as usual, and it tickled my fingers.
"Linzhi, do I remember the infirmary gave you a vital signs detection watch that was still being tested?"
Lin Zhi thought about it and realized that she did have such a thing, which she had put into her spatial storage.
After rummaging around for a while, she took out a black bracelet and handed it to her attendant: "This is it."
I picked it up and played with it for a bit. The function of the bracelet is very simple: it collects various basic data about the human body, such as heart rate and blood pressure. The daily records are automatically saved, and the data is cleared once a month.
After ensuring the bracelet was fully functional, he grabbed Lu Zhi's hand and put it on the man's wrist.
Lu Zhi was already awake, his eyes open as he watched Sui Cheng holding his hand and fiddling with the bracelet, a tender smile in his eyes.
"Following the captain's lead, you seem rather awkward."
The man's breath brushed against his ear. Sui Cheng quickly pulled away from him, his elbow against Lu Zhi's chest, and said coldly, "So you're still alive."
Lu Zhi scoffed, "Who would dare to die without Captain Sui's permission?"
He fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist; against the black bracelet, the blue veins under his skin became even more prominent.
Looking at his profile as he lowered his head, Sui Cheng saw that his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his nose was straight, and his lips were thin—the face of a virtuous gentleman.
He subtly moved to the side, ignoring his own heartbeat.
This person is indeed quite good-looking, but he's too talkative.
Lu Zhi lowered her head, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, pretending not to see his furtive gaze, lest she get angry again.
When they reached the outskirts of the city, they arrived at the former Furong Garden in Furong City, located halfway up the mountain. In the face of the apocalypse, this place was extremely dangerous. The hibiscus flowers all over the mountain were infected and turned into mutants. The fragrance they released had a bewitching effect, and hundreds of superhumans had sacrificed themselves here.
Xu Feng shuddered and said, "Please don't let it be hibiscus flowers again, it's a nightmare."
His voice came through the earphones to everyone's ears. Although Chen Jiang and the others had not experienced that great battle, they had heard about it. Only Lu Zhi knew nothing about it.
He asked curiously, "What happened here?"
As he approached, he smelled the fragrance of hibiscus flowers, and a hint of impatience appeared in his eyes; he hated flowers the most.
"Hey, Brother Lu, you didn't know?"
While in the city, the skill that Lü Zhi displayed made everyone in the entourage unknowingly change how they addressed him, and the entourage didn't say anything.
Chen Jiang gave a brief explanation to the law enforcement officer. Last year, when the apocalypse broke out and the base was newly built, the superhumans in the base formed teams to search for supplies in various places. They eventually found Furong Garden, where the first wave of superhumans was completely wiped out. Then, the three major bases joined forces and sent more than a hundred superhumans, most of whom were killed or wounded, before they were finally able to barely clear the place.
"Hmm, hibiscus flowers are indeed a nuisance." Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Sui Cheng, and asked, "Captain Sui, do you like them?"
"Indifferent." Sui Cheng didn't particularly like flowers, but he didn't dislike them either. He was rather indifferent to these delicate flowers.
Upon hearing his answer, the pleasure in Lu Zhi's eyes became even more evident.
"Captain, there's an energy fluctuation up there."
Tan Qingjia used her special ability to scout the way, and unexpectedly, she actually made a discovery.
