225 Command
◎Found Team Leader Huo!◎
On the day when the pollution broke out at the cleaning center, on the 29th floor underground, Huo Wenxi was imprisoned.
Huo Wenxi couldn't lie down in a cage that was only one meter wide, but she didn't sit down either.
She maintained the same posture from beginning to end, standing against the wall with her hands handcuffed.
There were no doors or windows here, only a void of light. She couldn't tell the time. It seemed as if she had been imprisoned for ten years, but also as if it had only been two or three days.
Zhu Ning had already entered the New Century Hotel. Her intuition told her that this must be the most brutal battle, with heavy casualties.
But before setting off, she did not give Zhu Ning any hints, but instead carefully selected teammates for her.
She only has intuition and cannot change reality. Those who know too much are destined to bear more.
Suddenly, the light on the ceiling flickered, and Huo Wenxi frowned. The place where she was was used to detain high-risk individuals, and below her was the surviving investigator outside the wall.
If an incident occurs in a clean center, the underground area must be sealed off to prevent the trapped pollutants from escaping.
Level A pollution wouldn't reach underground at all, but now the lights inside were flickering, followed by a piercing alarm.
[S-level pollutant invasion, please take emergency shelter]
S-level pollutants? The level of pollution at the cleaning center far exceeded Huo Wenxi's expectations.
Huo Wenxi asked: "What's going on outside?"
There was a surveillance camera above the room. A hissing sound came from above, probably someone pressing the talk button.
"Huo...chila...quick...bang!" The person in charge of monitoring Huo Wenxi tried to speak, but before he could finish, there was a chaotic sound of gunfire in the background, as if he was hit hard by something.
Then it seemed as if a monster was dragging someone on the ground, making a sticky and disgusting friction sound.
Just imagining it makes my scalp tingle. What is this thing?
Had the pollution spread underground? Huo Wenxi knew too little to make any judgement.
The walls of the cell were pure white. She couldn't see outside except for a vent at the top.
Tick-tock——
A drop of cold water fell on Huo Wenxi's head. Is the cell leaking?
As if to verify Huo Wenxi's guess, more and more water seeped down and Huo Wenxi's face was wet.
The water was already filling up around her feet, submerging her shoes. At this rate, she would drown in no time.
The cell is completely sealed. After all, the purpose of the cage is to prevent criminals from escaping, so there is no need to consider comfort and safety.
Huo Wenxi slapped the wall, but no one heard her cry for help. The sound of water became louder and louder, like a faucet that was left on.
Zhuang Lin was sent out by Huo Wenxi. The members of the abnormal event investigation team all had tasks to do. If the cleaning center fell, no one would even think of coming to rescue.
By the time they remember, they might only find a corpse in an underground cage.
The leader of the investigation team was actually drowned. The water was too deep and Huo Wenxi had no way to escape. She could only relax her body and float in the water.
Huo Wenxi used the buoyancy to feel for the vent above her head. This was her only way to survive.
She hammered with her elbows, but her hands were cuffed, making it difficult for her to exert any force.
Huo Wenxi knocked on it a few times, but the vent remained motionless. This was a prison cell. If it could be easily broken into, the enemy would have escaped long ago.
Huo Wenxi's head was pressed against the ceiling, the accumulated water had submerged her chest. She was now breathing on the tiny space, and water kept choking her throat.
Suddenly, Huo Wenxi covered his right eye and felt something bulging under the eye patch.
Her alienated eyes moved, like a little snake turning over.
She got goosebumps all over her body, and a huge panic gripped her heart. At that moment, she and the pollutants resonated at the same frequency, and even her breathing stopped.
It was as if someone had grabbed her eyeballs out of thin air, and her eyes had become part of the underground contaminants.
Huo Wenxi's face was pale and her heart was beating faster. She stared coldly below, knowing that danger was coming from under her feet.
The investigator just below her, separated by a floor, had some unknown reason for an accident. He had just returned from outside the wall and was the only person who had looked into the strange red light in reality and was still alive.
Pollution can induce pollution. A person on the verge of infection can be ignited with just the slightest stimulation, just like a piece of wood doused in gasoline, which only needs a match to ignite.
The investigator outside the wall waited for Match to arrive, and he exploded into pollutants. The polluted area could spread in just a few minutes. Huo Wenxi was too close to him and was easily swept up by the polluted area.
Huo Wenxi was not wearing protective clothing, had no weapons, and had no offensive abilities. He was trapped in a cage and had no way to save himself and could only wait to die.
Huo Wenxi felt a stinging pain in her right eye. She covered her eyes and felt a stream of blood flowing down her right eye, which was quickly diluted in the water.
Huo Wenxi forgot that she also showed symptoms of alienation. She was also a potential contaminant. Underground investigators were easily infected, and she was no exception.
She had unfinished work to do, and if she was going to die, she shouldn't die at this time. She couldn't collapse and become a pollutant during this period of time.
Huo Wenxi's mind was spinning rapidly. She stood still, staring coldly ahead.
The four white walls of the cage were all the same, but Huo Wenxi stared accurately at the one in front of her. She had a premonition that something was going to happen.
There was a burst of gunfire and the sound of gunpowder outside, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps, and someone was attacking the pollutants.
Bang bang bang——!
Suddenly, a knife stabbed in from the white wall in front of him. The knife light was cold and almost stabbed into Huo Wenxi's face.
A knife appeared without warning in the narrow space, which was scary enough, but Huo Wenxi didn't even frown.
The blade was pulled down suddenly, leaving a brilliant streak of fire and instantly cutting a two-meter-long gash.
The accumulated water gushed out like a flood, and Huo Wenxi fell to the ground.
A pair of hands stretched out from the crack and pulled the door open to both sides. Outside the door stood a person wearing a witcher's protective suit.
Someone's voice came: "We found Team Leader Huo!"
Ten witchers appeared at this time. Someone put a helmet on Huo Wenxi, and a female witcher quickly wrapped her in protective clothing, not daring to delay for even a second.
In such a chaotic situation, when the doomsday crisis is approaching and no one is in charge, the person that comes to mind most easily is Huo Wenxi.
They are not stupid, they are clear-headed and know that they are doomed.
They lack a commander.
Huo Wenxi is the best candidate. Her special abilities are suitable for decision-making, and her public speeches convince many people.
In this rescue operation, six people died on the way to see Huo Wenxi, not counting the injured, but they all felt that it was worth exchanging their lives for Huo Wenxi's.
The witcher led the way in front, someone was defending behind, and Huo Wenxi was guarded in the middle.
The elevator was no longer working, so Huo Wenxi was led up the stairs. Behind her, she could hear screams, gunshots, and explosions.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. Huo Wenxi was shocked. He knew without thinking how tragic the casualties were. Huo Wenxi instinctively wanted to look back.
The demon hunter who was in charge of guarding her said, "Team Leader Huo, don't look back."
There's nothing to see, only casualties behind. People should look forward and not be slowed down by the victims.
All those who died for Huo Wenxi have already realized that they did not exist to add burden to Huo Wenxi.
"Team Leader Huo," someone said from behind, "Let's move forward."
Huo Wenxi's body stiffened. Technology had advanced when she was born, and she had only climbed stairs a few times in her life. This road was the most difficult one she had ever walked.
She was not a very sentimental person, but at this moment she could not see the steps in front of her.
A gunshot was heard behind him, followed by a muffled sound as someone's body rolled down the stairs.
Huo Wenxi stepped onto the stairs. Every time she took one more step, she heard another gunshot behind her.
As she moved forward, people had already died for her, and the victims didn't even need Huo Wenxi to remember their names.
Huo Wenxi walked forward, feeling that the road he was walking on was covered in blood. After a long time, they finally reached the ground.
There were only six people left escorting her, and the anti-fouling iron door behind her fell heavily.
"We'll handle it next," said the demon hunter waiting on the ground. "Send Team Leader Huo to the medical department for treatment first."
A few floors of the cleaning center were still operational, but most of it was in a bad state. Five floors were destroyed and the fire took a long time to extinguish.
The 103 Area Cleaning Center suffered an unprecedented blow. The first was the ghost that emerged from the hotel, the second was the pollution brought by Zhu Ning, and the third was the collapse of the underground investigators that formed an S-level contaminated area.
Huo Wenxi took off his helmet and listened patiently to their mission briefing.
A lot of things happened while she was away. Huo Wenxi fell silent when she heard that Xu Meng, Cao Wei and Fu Bai had sacrificed their lives.
Although I had a premonition, it was still different when I heard it.
The true list of victims is still being compiled, and some people died without anyone knowing.
Fang Ying's death surprised Huo Wenxi a little, but not that much.
Huo Wenxi's intuition immediately guessed the truth. Zhu Ning was called a devil, so theoretically he should stay away from the cleaning center and take the risk to come back and kill Fang Ying, an assistant.
There is only one possibility, Fang Ying is the superior responsible for contacting Cheng Mofei. Huo Wenxi had previously promised Zhu Ning to help her investigate, but unexpectedly she was too late.
Things happened so fast, like a derailment, out of control, and now Huo Wenxi is trying to pull the car back on track.
Huo Wenxi entered his familiar office. Surprisingly, it was not polluted. There was just a pile of scattered documents on the ground, which looked like a ruin.
An employee inside opened his mouth wide when he saw Huo Wenxi. She was followed by a group of people, all of whom were demon hunters.
He slapped his head and remembered that he had forgotten about his team leader! He had completely forgotten to rescue Team Leader Huo. Fortunately, the demon hunter took action, otherwise Zhuang Lin would have chopped him to pieces when he returned.
"Team Leader Huo." The young employee was holding a document. This was the task assigned to him by Huo Wenxi. He had already found all the information.
Huo Wenxi didn't have time to change her clothes. She looked very disheveled, but her expression didn't relax at all. She had already entered the working state.
"Everyone enter the conference room." Huo Wenxi said.
This group of people usually don't deal with the abnormal events team, let alone enter their meeting rooms.
The conference room is not big, with only twenty chairs, but it is full of people. Some people have no room and have to stand outside the door. The corridor is also crowded.
They craned their necks to look inside. No one was chatting; they desperately needed someone to give them directions.
It was pitch black outside the window, and now that the sky dome was closed, the lights inside seemed to be the only light.
Huo Wenxi's meeting was no different from any other, except that he didn't smoke.
In front of her were people who had come to seek refuge with her, and they couldn't help but look at her. Huo Wenxi was truly strong-willed. She sat in a chair, water stains still flowing down her face, her long braids untied, hanging wetly. She looked like a drowned ghost, yet she could still hold the meeting without changing her expression.
Huo Wenxi actually wanted to clean up such a mess. Lu Qiqin didn't even want to get involved. Whoever tried and failed would be a sinner for all eternity.
Huo Wenxi doesn't care whether someone is guilty or not. If a person dies, he will just be a pile of ashes. It's all the same.
Huo Wenxi gave several orders in succession. Zhuang Lin had not returned yet, so he must have been attacked on the road, and he needed someone to pick him up.
We must preserve the data at all costs, as it costs our lives.
"Count all the available personnel and submit a list to me." Huo Wenxi said, "Departments willing to cooperate, please have the current person in charge report to me."
She was talking about the current person in charge. With the changing situation, the situation within each department is probably quite difficult.
Huo Wenxi: "Take me to see Xuanqing later."
The control of the Operations Department is still in Xuan Qing's hands, and the Demon Hunters are the largest armed force of the Cleaning Center.
"This..." The person in charge of the execution hesitated. Xuanqing is still receiving treatment and probably won't cooperate.
Huo Wenxi knew that Xuan Qing must have spare weapons. Xuan Qing was the leader of the demon hunters, and she must have more people at her disposal than he did.
Huo Wenxi: "Notify her, I'll go talk to her in person later."
She needs to win over all the allies she can, and Huo Wenxi also needs the ability to express her feelings.
Huo Wenxi asked, "Where's Zhu Ning?"
"I lost him." He said with some embarrassment. He had mixed feelings about Zhu Ning. He didn't believe the devilish talk that others were spreading, but he didn't have a good impression of Zhu Ning either.
Someone from the cleaning center tried to find Zhu Ning to negotiate, at least to get more information.
Zhu Ning is being hunted by extremists, and only a fool would show up. It is too difficult to find Zhu Ning now.
Huo Wenxi paused for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Find her."
She must be found at all costs. Zhu Ning is a very important part of the original plan. The truth about the descent of God has been found, and Huo Wenxi's garbage purifier cannot be lost.
Huo Wenxi still remembers the alliance between her and Zhu Ning and will never betray them.
