Location: Special Police Brigade, Jingnan City. Date: January 26, 2027.
At this moment, Wang Zheng and his group were in the special police brigade's operations room, watching Liu Zhe explain the relevant intelligence to them.
Looking at the information in his hand, which listed the identities and home addresses of all the mutants, Wang Zheng felt the environment looked increasingly familiar.
Moreover, the identities of these mutants are quite interesting; they are all ordinary people, with not a single one being an awakened individual.
According to Liu Zhe, people who went mad after eating smuggled exotic animal meat in the past did not have such a strong reaction, and ordinary people would never eat it or know about this route.
The fact that no meat was found in any of these people's homes makes it even stranger.
Wang Zheng pondered the connections on his own while listening to Liu Zhe's explanation.
"In conclusion, our experts from all fields have unanimously deduced that this was an organized, large-scale, and highly targeted terrorist activity, and not an ordinary smuggling case."
It's highly likely that some hidden demon is manipulating things from the shadows, which is why we contacted you in time to get your perspective..."
Dang Liantao pondered for a moment and then said:
"We can't really offer any opinions. This is the first time we've encountered a situation like this. We plan to go to the scene of the incident to check on the local situation before making any further comments."
Let's see if we can detect any lingering traces of the Heavenly Demon.
Judging from the black mist that Xiao Wang forced out during his treatment, this matter is basically inseparable from the Heavenly Demon.
Furthermore, we extracted some useful information from the demons we captured earlier, which is very likely a follow-up plan or retaliation by the demon organization that was wiped out at Zhongshan Wharf last time.
Shan Changxu was also indignant on the side.
"If you ask me, these bastards should be wiped out in one fell swoop, so they won't keep popping up and causing trouble every day, making it impossible for people to have a peaceful New Year."
Dang Liantao frowned.
"Stop complaining. How are you going to fight? Who are you going to fight? You're so old and still so irritable. Look at Wang Zheng, he's more composed than you."
Wang Zheng was interrupted by the sudden sound of his name. He looked up blankly and found that Dang Liantao was not looking at him at all, but had turned to look at Liu Zhe on the other side.
"Captain Liu, if you get any crucial clues after those patients regain consciousness, please let me know immediately. We'll take our leave now and go scout out the location first, then we'll see what happens."
Liu Zhe readily agreed.
"Captain Dang, don't worry, I'll personally keep an eye on things and I'll let you know as soon as I have the results."
Then he looked at Wang Zheng and rubbed his hands together sheepishly.
"It's just a bit of a hassle for Lieutenant Wang. I might need to come back in a few days. There are still some brothers out there on missions, and right now only your healing spell can be effective."
Although a team of experts from Beijing might arrive tonight, it's uncertain whether it will be effective. We'll inevitably have to trouble you then.
Wang Zheng naturally nodded in agreement.
"No problem, Brother Liu, just give me instructions when the time comes. I know the police force well, so I can come by myself next time."
For Wang Zheng, it was just a matter of convenience and not troublesome, especially since he also had the upper limit of spiritual energy to take. In comparison, he still felt that this matter itself was more complicated.
Under Captain Liu's escort, Wang Zheng followed Dang Liantao downstairs, got into the car, and sped off towards the old town.
Watching the military jeep drive away, Liu Zhe let out a long sigh, feeling as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from his heart. He then turned and roared at the command post inside:
"Get the brothers to work harder and bring back all the mutants who are still roaming outside. Try to completely cure all the patients within two days!"
...
More than an hour later, the atmosphere inside the jeep driving along the riverside avenue was somewhat heavy. Looking at the scenery along the river, Wang Zheng couldn't help but think of the scene of capturing the Heavenly Demon at the dock.
As the military vehicles sped along, they soon began to traverse the various streets and alleys in the old city that had undergone changes.
Looking at the familiar scenery before him, Wang Zheng finally recognized it. He had been here before, when he came here to catch the thief who stole his bicycle.
No wonder it looked familiar when he was looking at the map, but he couldn't match the terrain to his memory.
But once he actually arrived at the destination and looked at the surrounding street scene, he immediately remembered.
Looking at the familiar street scene, Wang Zheng asked curiously:
"Brother Dang, is it appropriate for us to just drive around here in military vehicles like this? If there really is a demon nearby, won't this just alert them?"
Dang Liantao replied with a smile:
"The point is to stir up trouble. These guys are too good at hiding. Even if we sneak over, we probably won't find anything."
The situation is urgent now, and there's no time for us to slowly plan and investigate.
"Let's go through this openly today. If we can alert these guys hiding in the shadows, we might even make some discoveries."
