Chapter 179 That person has long been dead
Shen Qing strode forward, took out the maritime satellite phone and dialed a number: “Have you found Shen Xingzhi?”
"Commissioner, I'm sorry, not yet."
"You idiot! It's been almost a year, and you're telling me you haven't found it yet?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We've been everywhere, but everyone says they haven't seen him in three years."
"No? I saw it with my own eyes in Illinois a year before the apocalypse!"
"Yes, yes, we will definitely seize the time and go to other places to have a look. Also, Commissioner, there is a piece of news that I don't know if it is accurate..."
"explain."
"We found his childhood records in the nursing home you mentioned. Uh, it shows that he died thirteen years ago... from organ failure."
Shen Qing stopped abruptly: "How is that possible?! What nonsense are you talking about?! Go find it for me! Don't use this excuse to fool me!"
"yes!"
"Wait. Send me all the information about the nursing home."
"yes!"
However, after reading the information, he actually felt that the credibility of this news was at least 80%.
If his cousin, Shen Xingzhi, had died at the age of thirteen...
Then, he frowned. Who was that person he had met in the past thirteen years?
Is this a substitute that Shen Yi found? !
Shen Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then picked up the internal line. "Please connect me to the military headquarters and ask them to invite the captain of the Undead Squad over."
After hearing the reply from the other end, he slowly put down the phone.
If you can't do it openly, then you can only use some tricks.
Soon, a subordinate came in with a man, then bowed and left, leaving only the man in the room.
Shen Qing quickly stood up and said with a warm smile, "Come on, sit down."
The man opposite was unmoved and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you a small favor. I want to ask someone something."
"Why should I help you?"
"Because your target is one of the most difficult to obtain in the entire Xia Kingdom. I have no other options, so I came to you."
The man looked at Shen Qing for a few seconds and said, "Okay. When?"
"The sooner the better."
"Who is it and what do you want to ask?"
Shen Qing hurriedly handed over a card on the table. The man took it, glanced at it, and said, "I'll give you news tomorrow night."
Shen Qing's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Okay."
The next evening.
Shen Qing got the answer he wanted as promised.
However, as soon as he saw the first line of words, he stood up suddenly with a serious expression.
After reading it quickly, he slowly raised his head and squinted his eyes, "I see! Shen Yi, you really played a big game."
He paced the room, muttering to himself, "If that's the case, then all my plans are useless. He will never submit to me. Then, I can only..."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at the person opposite him and said, "I agree to your previous request."
The man suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes shining, "So what are your terms in exchange?"
"It just so happens that it's pretty much what you want. You want to compete with the top masters of Xia Country, and I want their lives!"
The man on the other side regained his expressionless face. "That doesn't count as one of your conditions. You can think of another one. Where are they?"
"City C. You can leave immediately. I'll send a helicopter to you."
"No need, we'll go by ourselves."
"Please."
The person opposite didn't respond and turned away.
At this time, the Chaoyang base was immersed in joy, and had no idea that the murderous intent of the dark night was quietly approaching them.
"Now, please welcome our base commander—Gu Chao! Welcome everyone!"
"oh!!"
"Base Commander, Base Commander, Base Commander!"
"Base Commander, I love you!!"
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
Gu Chao walked onto the stage, raised his hands, and pressed them down slightly, and the audience immediately quieted down.
He picked up the microphone. "First of all, thank you all for your dedication in defending the city. It's because of you that our base was able to successfully eliminate so many mutant creatures, and now, we have the opportunity to sit here and hold a celebration banquet. Thank you."
"Secondly, I want to express my gratitude to those brothers who sacrificed their precious lives defending the city. It is because of their fearlessness and selflessness that we have achieved our success today. Now, please remember the names of these heroes. Chen Su, Li Xinyao, Fang Haochu, Kong Xinwen, He Hui, Yao Jingcheng..."
Every time Gu Chao read out a name, someone in the audience would either shed silent tears, sob quietly, or cry uncontrollably. These cold names represented a vibrant life that had been lost.
Their lives ended here. No matter whether they experienced happiness or sorrow in the future, there would be no chance to start over again.
"Song Shu, Mu Hang, Yu Hongwen, Qi Xingping..." Gu Chao was still reciting one name after another in his low and solemn voice.
When Lu Ming heard the word "pine tree", she choked with sobs and was speechless. She didn't even dare to look at whether his parents had arrived at the scene, or what expressions they had on their faces.
Finally, the long list was read out. A total of 319 guards died in this battle to defend the city.
"Please pick up your glasses and join me in toasting the martyrs!" After saying that, he raised the glass high, poured it down, and spilled the wine onto the ground.
"Respect the martyrs!"
Everyone raised their glasses of wine and toasted to heaven and earth.
Lu Ming turned his wrist, his eyes red, and said quietly in his heart: Goodbye, Peng Shu.
Goodbye, brothers.
Parting is always painful, but this is not the original intention of holding this party tonight.
Then Gu Chao spoke again, "But tonight isn't a farewell banquet, it's a celebration. Before us, 89 coastal cities, eight official bases, and countless civilian bases all perished at the hands of these mutant creatures. And you, however, have successfully wiped them out! Moreover, our experience in fighting these enemies has spread throughout the country, saving countless bases from danger. You are all heroes! Today, please enjoy yourself to the fullest, and don't leave until you're drunk!"
"oh!!!!"
Everyone in the audience cheered, clapped wildly, slammed the table, and stomped their feet, expressing their emotions that had nowhere to go.
Gu Chao walked down and the host came on stage again to host the show.
"The base commander's words brought tears to my eyes. Now, please allow our deputy base commander, Zhou Zixi, to speak!"
The base leaders took turns to encourage everyone. No one said much and the meal started soon.
Today, Lu Ming contributed all the supplies he had collected from the high-priced meat supermarket in H City and held a simple barbecue banquet for the more than 10,000 superpowers defending the city.
Of course, the other guards and survivors of the base also had extra meals to celebrate this happy day together.
The celebration banquet must have a program, so while the audience was eating enthusiastically, there was a chaotic performance on the stage.
However, after three rounds of drinks, Gu Chao was drinking the wine offered by others when he suddenly heard the announcement on the stage: "The next program, wow, you must be looking forward to it the most. That's right, it's the great encouragement brought by our instructor Lu Minglu - Go to the Expedition! Please enjoy!"
What?
Did he hear it right?
who?
Lulu actually signed up?
How come he doesn’t know?
