Lin Qingliu was of course interested in the information in Wen Cheng's mind, but as a person who tended to be lawful, he did not intend to use some extreme methods to obtain this information.
He tried to make his comments as neutral as possible so as not to expose the fact that he actually had some friendship with Wang Xiao.
After dealing with the problem here, just when Lin Qingliu was about to go home, the door of Wencheng's office welcomed a new visitor.
"Report, a medium-sized beast tide has appeared in the northwest of Hope City, and there is a suspected fourth-level beast."
"Follow the procedure and prepare for defense."
Just as the messenger was about to leave, Wen Cheng suddenly stopped him and asked Lin Qingliu:
"Do you think Jinmo and the others can fight now?"
This question is actually a bit strange. Jinmo and other ten super-powered people have almost no serious injuries. Except for the weak Fresnel, the rest of them can actually go to the battlefield now.
Rather, a battle was exactly what they wanted, and the accumulated resentment and dissatisfaction in their hearts could be completely released in this defensive battle.
Lin Qingliu blinked and quickly understood the true meaning of Wencheng's words.
Sending these super-powered people to the battlefield is the final test for them.
If those "things" outside the city replaced them silently, then some clues would likely be revealed during the battle.
Lin Qingliu thought for a moment and said:
"Everyone except Fresnel can go, but I still suggest sending some super-powered people to coordinate with us."
He stuck to the word "cooperation", hinting at the possible risks of Wencheng, and continued to maintain his cautious and rigorous personality.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Wen Cheng replied, reached out and pulled out a piece of paper, wrote something on it and handed it to the messenger:
"Leave it to your captain, and gather the superpowers who are being quarantined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
At this point, there was no more concern for Lin Qingliu at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He left the place with ease and returned home as usual, escorted by several soldiers.
A few minutes later, Jinmo had already led her team out, while the five members of Fresnel's team gathered in front of Fresnel's window.
"Why do you look like you're visiting a dying old man?"
Fresnel licked his dry lips and smiled bitterly:
"I'm really not dying... I just feel a little weak."
"I don't know. We came here only after receiving orders."
Upon hearing this, Fresnel's smile faded:
"Maybe it's something important."
As expected, someone soon walked into the room with a letter of appointment and announced in front of everyone that due to Fresnel's physical condition, Wang Xiao would temporarily take over as the captain of Team 25 and immediately head to the northwest outer wall of Hope City to prepare to meet the beast tide.
The reason why it was temporary was actually that Wencheng was saving face for Fresnel.
Unless there are any major mistakes, making a hasty position change will always make people feel uncomfortable.
Although he had learned from Lin Qingliu that Fresnel was planning to abdicate, it would be difficult for him to make the appointment directly unless the other party took the initiative to propose it.
Therefore, Wang Xiao was only holding the title of "temporary replacement" at this time.
Including Fresnel, several people turned to look at Wang Xiao, the "acting captain".
After a brief eye contact, the four of them quickly changed into their combat gear and headed for the outer city wall with the help of the super-powered "weightlessness".

Five kilometers outside Hope City.
Fran, who was walking at the end of the team, was not happy because she could already see the city wall.
Through his own efforts, the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect successfully had a left protector, a right protector and an elder.
In fact, Fran didn’t quite understand what these titles meant, but Lin Qingliu taught her this useless knowledge and said that it didn’t matter if she couldn’t tell them apart, because they were all the leader’s subordinates anyway.
The left protector is the severely injured single wolf (dog) who first looked at the slides.
The Right Protector is a strange beast that is a hybrid of various herbivorous animals. It has long, sharp, curved horns on its head, and it has considerable strength in battles between strange beasts. However, because it was ambushed, one of its horns was broken, and now its entire head always turns to one side involuntarily.
As for the elder, he was somewhat similar to the elephant that Fran had seen in her divinely inspired dream, the only problem being that he was not that big, and his fangs, which had extremely powerful attacking power, were slightly different on each head.
At this point, Fran has actually tried her best to complete her plan.
Not to mention whether she could brainwash more strange beasts, the physical structure of the right protector and the elders alone was not enough to support them in attacking the city wall.
In the previous beast tide, the only ones who could climb up the city wall by themselves or with the help of insect-shaped beasts were those beasts similar to cats and dogs, whose bodies were obviously more flexible.
As for the other green cocoon beasts, they existed only as cannon fodder, so naturally there was nothing worthy of attention.
But the problem now is that Fran and her friends are about to be exposed to the hail of bullets from the city wall...
“Play it by ear, play it by ear.”
Fran passed the slightly panicked order to several of her subordinates through a small-scale mental network.
The strange beasts paused slightly and put some distance between themselves and the main group.

On the city wall.
"What the hell is that?"
A soldier who was in charge of observing the enemy cried out in surprise. He looked at the crocodile that was dozens of meters long, with a high bulge in its back and covered in armor, and felt his heart beating uncontrollably.
"Send more weapons, send more weapons immediately!"
The crocodile this time was different from the fourth-level monster that attacked before. Its body was lying on the ground, and it looked a little shorter than the tall bird-like creatures behind it.
This prevented the monitoring system from discovering it in time, resulting in some loopholes in the weapons response plan.
Fortunately, these minor problems were quickly resolved, and the electromagnetic cannon that had attacked the fourth-level giant snake automatically moved along the track above the city wall.
Twenty, no, nineteen super-powered people are already ready on the city wall.
This was not the first time that Wang Xiao commanded a team, but the two previous experiences were once in the plant cage and the other when the team was disturbed and about to collapse. And now, the Fresnel team, who was holding back their anger... now should be called Wang Xiao team, was obviously ready for a big fight.
The beast tide gradually approached the city wall, and the battle was about to break out.
The electromagnetic cannon that once killed a giant snake in seconds opened fire first. Amid the hair-raising sound of electricity, the projectile flew towards the crocodile monster's head with a sonic boom.
But after the smoke and dust cleared, the people on the city wall were greatly disappointed.
The fourth-level beast that was lying on the ground and moving slowly forward was still moving forward!
