The word "should" is used very cleverly.
Although I hope that there will be strange beasts attacking from the north of the city, those are the scale and level of a beast tide. There has never been two or three kittens like this.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the big screen in front of them.
Sure enough, at the end of the camera's field of view, a small row of pixels was constantly shaking.
"Send a message to the city walls, strengthen the alert, and prepare to retrieve the exploration team."
"receive!"
After the order was given, the city defense troops on the north wall quickly moved, and visible or invisible weapons were aimed at the outside of the city.
As the figures got closer, everyone in the command room could already tell that they were five figures.
"Nian" is tall and walks in the middle of the team, so he can be recognized at a glance.
"Report, confirm the number of people is correct, and there is no obvious abnormality in the posture."
The new intelligence was reported, and several senior executives fell into a brief silence. They began to think about one thing:
Should we inform the civilians in the city about this?
This is not a particularly safe thing to do, but publicity is part of the exploration plan.
"Keep observing. If there are no obvious abnormalities when you are two kilometers away from the city wall, have those people at the radio station announce the entire city. They must have prepared a press release for such a big event."
After careful consideration, the senior executives finally reached a consensus.
Five minutes later, the exploration team was confirmed for the third time to have no obvious abnormalities.
In the City of Hope, at this time when everyone was about to fall asleep, exciting news came from all the radios that were turned on.
Like a boulder thrown into a pool of stagnant water, everyone in the joint command center could almost feel the surging emotional ripples throughout the city.
The press release was broadcast three times in succession. Many people walked out of their homes and ran towards the north gate as soon as the first broadcast ended.
As for those who lived in other districts and even the inner city, although they were unable to be present in person due to the size of Hope City and the policy of closing the city gates at night, they all excitedly turned over in their beds.
Life may be stressful, but it’s always good to have hope.
At least, if the exploration teams can continue to be successful, they won't have to worry about having their heads bitten off by strange beasts late at night.
Twenty minutes later, the electric basket transported the five-member team, whose identities were confirmed and who were conscious, to the city wall.
At this moment, the restricted area of the military camp below the city wall was already densely packed with people.
Seeing this scene, even the city defense troops felt proud. A smile appeared on the weather-beaten faces of the five-man team. They looked downward, stretched out their right hands and waved politely.
Cheers quickly broke out from the crowd below.
For the Hope City accelerated education system, which has serious diversion, many people actually do not understand the meaning of sampling or analysis.
But the broadcast deliberately concealed the importance of this part, making most people think that being able to go out once and come back to a dangerous place like outside the city is already a success.
The cheers lasted for more than ten minutes until the five-man team, led by relevant personnel, disappeared on the city wall.
They might still be expecting the super-powered people to come down and leave through the main gate of the military camp, giving them a chance to see them face to face.
But anyone who can think independently knows that this is impossible.
What the five people were going to experience next was simple: being isolated, interrogated individually, and repeatedly questioned, just like captured criminals.
This was something they had already prepared for before leaving the city, and Hope City had no intention of concealing such a plan.
Once their confessions are flawless and match the audio recordings, they will be real heroes.
It all seems to be in order, but in reality no one has ever put it into practice. The reason is simple: this system, which was established twenty years ago, has never really been used.
Because the five members of the "Nian" team are the real first group of people returning from the outside world.
The next moment the five people disappeared on the city wall, electromagnetic shackles were already put on their wrists and ankles.
With the abilities of these people, they basically all have their own ways of escaping from trouble.
But they accepted it completely, as if to prove their loyalty to Hope City.
Below the city wall, the crowd began to slowly disperse under the persuasion of the security team.
Most people gradually left, and only a slightly plump and strong young man near the front row was still staring blankly at the empty city wall.
“That’s great.”
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Okay, okay, let's go. See you next time."
Seeing that there was a passionate young man who refused to leave, the security team member who had seen a lot of such things walked over slowly and tried to persuade the other party with a little impatience.
Luke seemed to wake up from his dream and turned to smile politely at the security guard.
The security guard was stunned for a moment, as if he rarely saw such a polite person. His facial expression changed slightly and he also showed his gentle side.
Just then, a "beep, beep" sound came from Luke's waist.
He quickly pulled out the team's communicator and pressed the connect button.
The security team member in front of him suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder they were so polite. It turned out that they were people from the inner city on official business.
As he is already halfway into old age, he has a lot of experience and knows that anyone who can carry a communicator with him is definitely not an ordinary person.
Looking Luke up and down, the old security guard suddenly had a strange idea in his mind:
He is of a high position, young, and most importantly, polite... If my daughter could meet such a young man, wouldn't it be...
Just as he began to sketch the other party's image in his mind, a curse that almost broke his defense reached his ears:
“Six days! He committed the crime again in just six days. Is our database a fucking public toilet?
"Come as you please, leave as you please! Do you think I know better than you what I have investigated which people should be killed by the Mind Flayer?!
"Stay on the scene while you're investigating. I'll be there in ten minutes."
As the old security guard stared in astonishment, the polite young man hung up the phone, then quickly suppressed his anger, nodded at him, and walked away.
Looking at the young man's back, the old security guard thought for a moment and said to himself:
"It's not a bad thing to have a bit of temper."
---
"explain."
"Captain, it's like this... We were keeping a close eye on it, but half an hour ago the radio suddenly sounded. It's really hard to explore what's going on outside, so everyone listened carefully for a while..."
"After listening, you found that the target was dead, right?"
"……yes."
"You guys are pretty nice. You all care about the news outside the city."
“…”
