229 Allies
◎Don't be afraid, I will take care of it for you◎
The ice curtain raised by the mountain cat was like an iceberg. It was the first time that Zhu Ning saw an ice-type mutant so powerful.
This was also the first time that Zhu Ning saw Bobcat take action. As expected of someone who had entered an S-level contaminated area, his movements were particularly agile.
The ice spikes fell like bullets, piercing the enemy's body accurately, and the bright red blood dyed the ice spikes red.
Ye Fei saw a red dot appear on his car's navigation system. Daju said, "Don't worry about Bobcat. He will take care of it. Turn left."
Ye Fei immediately turned the steering wheel and the car suddenly turned left. Zhu Ning, who was on the roof, had to steady himself.
"Turn off the lights." Daju remotely controlled the internal system of the flying car and turned off the headlights.
It was the first time for Ye Fei to have remote assistance, and he found it very novel. They drove onto Highway 1, and it was pitch dark without any lights on, which meant they were completely in the dark.
Daju: "There are enemies ahead."
Ye Fei couldn't see anyone at all. Only after Daju reminded him did he see the light in front of him, like the starry sky. Why are there so many of them?
Daju's voice was methodical as he tapped on the keyboard, "Enter the left 3 tunnel."
Ye Fei followed Daju's voice and suddenly turned like a blind man. He saw the pursuer behind him.
But the man didn't catch up. The moment Ye Fei entered the tunnel, the tunnel gate was suddenly lowered.
The gate weighed tons, and as it was lowered, they heard banging noises behind them.
"Great," Daju said, "Go down Ninth Avenue. There's traffic there."
Ye Fei felt that things had become very simple, as if he was playing a game. He just had to follow instructions and respond without worrying about anything else. If there were enemies, Zhu Ning on the roof would deal with them, and Shen Xingqiao would assist.
The Bobcat will assist. He suddenly appears from nowhere and uses ice to freeze a new path and build an artificial ice bridge.
Then it disappeared mysteriously again. Big Orange always told me not to worry about it, the mountain cat would take care of itself.
Ye Fei sighed that the professional demon hunter team was indeed extraordinary. Their mobility and coordination were really different.
Half an hour passed before they completely shook off their pursuers, the car slowed down, and an abandoned high-rise building appeared before them.
I don’t know how long this place has been abandoned, and some weeds and moss have grown on the tall buildings.
Ye Fei's car was shaking when it stopped, black smoke came out of the rear of the car, and it hit the ground with a bang. This time it was completely scrapped.
Daju: "Go forward, there is an air raid safe house underground. My signal will disappear after you enter."
Daju quickly tapped away on the keyboard and said, "Snake Cat and I will be there in a bit. You guys go in and rest first. Thank you for your hard work."
Daju's voice was very calm, as if he was just here to carry out a mission step by step. Ye Fei wanted to reply, "You've worked hard too," but Daju quickly cut off the signal connection. She still needed to completely erase their tracks on the Internet.
After several people got out of the car, Ye Fei was still in a daze. The speed was too fast and he couldn't think clearly.
Daju's voice on the other end of the channel disappeared for a long time. Everyone else got out of the car. Shen Xingqiao knocked on his window and asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
Ye Fei got out of the car woodenly. Zhu Ning had already jumped out of the car, and the black slime returned to her body.
Lin Xiaofeng was held in Zhu Ning's arms, and the little girl hugged Zhu Ning's neck obediently.
This seemed to be an abandoned office building. No one spoke. They always felt unsafe outside. Daju gave instructions before going offline.
They went underground, the old elevator shaft was still functioning, but once they entered this area there was no signal.
The office building must have been some confidential organization in the past. It looks very mysterious, and the security measures are still in operation.
Adhering to the trust in their teammates, several people went underground, seemingly deep into the ground, a full twenty meters.
The elevator stopped with a thud, and the rusty elevator doors opened to both sides, revealing a room in front of everyone.
There is electricity inside, six rooms, a living room, and a full range of toiletries and medical supplies.
Not knowing who this place belonged to, Ye Fei and Shen Xingqiao opened every room to check and make sure there was no danger.
Ding-ling-ling——
As soon as they came in, a bell suddenly rang in the house. Because it was so quiet underground, the ringing sounded like a terrifying death knell.
Several people were still in combat mode and had not yet completely relaxed. They were a little stressed for a moment and suddenly became alert.
There is a very old telephone in the underground safe house. It still needs to be dialed. It is almost an antique in this world. The ringtone comes from here.
There is no high-tech equipment in the house, which actually helps to prevent tracking in this day and age.
Zhu Ning put Lin Xiaofeng down, stood up to answer the phone, and picked up the receiver in full view of everyone.
They were all watching while Zhu Ning was talking on the phone, afraid that something might happen, even the receiver might explode.
"Zhu Ning?" Huo Wenxi's voice came from the other side.
Zhu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She had mixed feelings at that moment; she had found her ally. Huo Wenxi could be heard flipping through documents. "Are you at the safe house? This is my place. It used to be used by the higher-ups. It's pretty safe."
As expected of Huo Wenxi, she always has a backup plan. The safe house is deep underground and has anti-tracking devices that can prevent tracking-type mutants. There is no high-tech communication in the house, which is like a dungeon. It is also the safest place for Zhu Ning at the moment.
Zhu Ning gestured to a few people and said, "We are one family."
Several people relaxed their tense bodies, but did not look away.
Zhu Ning was afraid that they would worry, so she didn't want to call in front of them. She mouthed, "I'll go in and talk," and then picked up the antique telephone. Fortunately, the phone line was long enough, and she went into the study next door.
Zhu Ning leaned against the door and asked, "Did you contact them?"
Since this place belongs to Huo Wenxi, Huo Wenxi at least needs to contact Daju, so she formed a new team for Zhu Ning.
Huo Wenxi: "Yes, you are really hard to find. Are you safe?"
Zhu Ning: "I'm fine, I've awakened my devouring ability."
Huo Wenxi: "I saw the video. I need you to report the details to me later so I can make an assessment."
Huo Wenxi didn't know Zhu Ning's true condition and needed more data. Zhu Ning hummed and asked, "How are your eyes?"
Zhu Ning remembered that before entering the hotel, Zhuang Lin said that Huo Wenxi had become alienated. She was now very sensitive to alienated states, and the only people she knew about were Song Zhizhang and Huo Wenxi.
Huo Wenxi: "It's okay at the moment, don't worry."
Zhu Ning had never met Huo Wenxi in person, and after hearing her describe herself so casually, he didn't know whether he should be worried.
Logically speaking, Huo Wenxi is her superior. After they get in touch, Zhu Ning, as a subordinate, should make a task report.
But Zhu Ning couldn't speak, she didn't want to mention Xu Meng.
Huo Wenxi: "I think I know everything. Xie Jiazu has reported to me. The Cheetah team has worked hard. I will give them appropriate compensation after this is over."
But it was meaningless for the Cheetah team, and Xu Meng never received any compensation until his death.
Zhu Ning was silent for a moment. No one spoke for a moment, and the only sound in the receiver was the faint breathing of the two people. If Zhu Ning didn't speak, Huo Wenxi wouldn't rush him. She wanted to wait until Zhu Ning was willing to speak.
After a while, Zhu Ning asked a simple question: "What time is it now?"
Zhu Ning threw away all the electronic devices including the secondary computer. She completely lost the concept of time.
Huo Wenxi: "There are still three days left after today, and today will be over in two hours."
Zhu Ning actually slept for one of the three days. Zhu Ning asked, "Did you get what you wanted?"
Zhu Ning chose to wear the human-machine combined device during the mission, saying that it was beneficial to Huo Wenxi's situation.
Huo Wenxi: “Yes.”
Zhu Ning: "That's good."
At least someone benefited from this operation, and it sounds like Huo Wenxi is in really good shape.
Zhu Ning: "Is this the time you mentioned to turn off the lights?"
Unexpectedly, the words Huo Wenxi said casually at that time were so appropriate. Area 103 was dark, as if the lights were turned off.
Huo Wenxi and she are allies, and they can be completely open with each other. Huo Wenxi said: "I am more adapted to the world after turning off the lights than I thought."
Huo Wenxi has the blood of the Huo family flowing in her bones. She guessed that when the Kingdom of God took off for the first time, the means must have been extremely bloody.
None of the aristocratic families at that time had clean hands, and Huo Wenxi was in line with the family tradition.
Zhu Ning asked, "Is the information useful?"
Huo Wenxi did not answer immediately. Zhuang Lin had already returned. They saw the so-called experimental research data and knew the cause and effect, but did not find a definite solution to break the deadlock.
The researchers are still studying it. There are a few difficult parts that they don’t understand.
The probability is that there is little hope, otherwise Su He would not let them enter the laboratory.
Huo Wenxi thought of what the head of the family said. They were too late. God had already been "born" in this strange way, and the best time to stop it had long passed.
Zhu Ning understood from Huo Wenxi's silence that it might really be meaningless and worthless.
They lost a battle. What's more terrifying than losing a teammate is that their sacrifice was meaningless.
"Zhu Ning," Huo Wenxi sensed Zhu Ning's emotions and said, "I am your commander. I gave the orders and I selected your teammates. I will bear the consequences."
"You are my soldier. In human history, no battle failure has ever been blamed on a soldier. This is the psychological pressure that commanders should bear."
"Six hundred casualties have been reported, and there will be even more in the future," Huo Wenxi said. "Your friends, I, and you yourself may all die in the next battle, but don't be afraid. I will bear the responsibility for you."
Zhu Ning didn't speak for a long time. She could hear noises coming from behind her. Song Zhizhang and Lin Xiaofeng were talking, and Shen Xingqiao was arguing with Ye Fei.
Each one was so vivid, but Zhu Ning had to treat them as potentially dead.
She is not a savior, someone has to die.
Zhu Ning closed his eyes and asked, "Are you comforting me?"
Huo Wenxi: "Yes, I am comforting you. I rarely comfort others."
The little witch could actually comfort people. Zhu Ning experienced this very rare feeling, while Huo Wenxi seemed to be coaxing a cat in an unskilled way.
Zhu Ning leaned his head against the door and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Huo Wenxi: "The old plan, find the source of pollution and devour it, but Su He is more troublesome. I am trying to find a solution."
Zhu Ning asked, "Any clues about the source of the pollution?"
There was the sound of a lighter. Huo Wenxi must have lit a cigarette. She exhaled smoke and said, "Let's take a gamble. We missed the opportunity. There might be clues when the contaminated area is formed."
Zhu Ning was stunned and felt that Huo Wenxi was really a little crazy.
If the entire area is to be polluted, there must be a source of pollution. They currently have too few clues, so Huo Wenxi plans to take one last gamble.
At the moment of pollution, new clues related to the source of pollution will appear, and Huo Wenxi must choose this opportunity to take action.
Zhu Ning didn't know how to describe it. Huo Wenxi increased the stakes on the gambling table, and the entire district lived and died together.
Are the children of these aristocratic families all a little crazy?
Huo Wenxi: "Don't worry about the previous steps, you only need to execute the last step."
Zhu Ning didn't know what Huo Wenxi was planning. With just a few words, each step would be difficult to complete. Finding the source of the pollution and fighting against Su He would be very troublesome.
Zhu Ning paused, feeling the urge to tell Huo Wenxi the truth, "I don't know if I can do it in the end."
The amount of pollutants underground was too huge. Zhu Ning looked at her hands. The black mucus could be manipulated freely by her. She activated her devouring ability, but she still didn't know how to do it.
The pollutants were just underground, a massive mass. Zhu Ning wondered strangely how he could devour them. He couldn't just stick a straw in there and suck out the "jelly," could he?
Zhu Ning might choke to death if swallowed this way.
What if Huo Wenxi completed the previous steps, but the last step was ruined by Zhu Ning?
Huo Wenxi quickly replied: "It doesn't matter."
"Huh?" Zhu Ning thought she had misheard. Shouldn't Huo Wenxi cheer her up and say some chicken soup nonsense like "You should believe in your potential and you will definitely succeed"?
"Yes." Huo Wenxi's laughter came from the other end of the phone. There was a bit of suppressed madness in his laughter, as if Huo Wenxi had been fooling his partners before and was only beginning to tell the truth at this moment.
Huo Wenxi held a cigarette between his legs, staring at the burning butt, and said, "It doesn't matter, Zhu Ning. This is a huge gamble, and it doesn't matter if you lose. This world must rely on someone to save it, and it doesn't matter if it is destroyed. Why should the pressure be put on you? You have the power. It doesn't matter if it is destroyed or saved. I don't care."
Zhu Ning: “…”
What is this Queen's Speech?
Zhu Ning felt much more relieved after hearing this. Huo Wenxi had given her a golden medal of immunity from death. It didn't matter whether she won or lost, Huo Wenxi would not blame her.
They are struggling before the doomsday that is bound to come. Even if they lose, they can still say calmly, "We have tried our best. If we lose, we lose. If we die, we die."
I have to admit that the little witch's comfort is very effective, no wonder it is so rare.
Zhu Ning asked, "What do you want me to do now?"
Huo Wenxi: "Stay alive and don't get hurt. I'm confident that you have many companions around you. They will protect you."
Huo Wenxi believed that Zhu Ning's companions and friends were all very reliable, so Huo Wenxi didn't have to worry about Zhu Ning's safety for the time being.
Huo Wenxi: "Study your abilities carefully. I can help you solve some problems."
Zhu Ning hummed and asked, "Anything else?"
Huo Wenxi: "Oh, by the way, take a picture for me later and include today's date."
Zhu Ning: "...Hmm?"
Huo Wenxi: "I need to prove to someone that you are still alive."
