At five in the morning, at the gate of Dongyang Base
Three or four guards checked everyone entering and leaving the city against the wanted posters.
As the shift change approached, everyone felt a little tired, so the two people who were close to each other started chatting to keep themselves awake.
"Didn't they say there was a psychopathic killer from Hekang escaping to Dongyang? It's been a few days now, and we've done fingerprints, blood tests, and even compared portraits, but we haven't found any suspicious individuals. Do you think the information above is wrong?"
The companion yawned, opened his eyelids and shook his head:
"Who knows? But let's take a closer look. I heard that this wanted criminal might be a zombie disguised as a human. This kind of zombie is different from the ones we usually see. It must have mutated. Not only do they have strange abilities like those of superpowers, they are also very good at disguise and their IQ is comparable to ours. Otherwise, He Kang would be gone in such a short time. Even the son of their base commander has fled to Changjing."
After hearing this, his companion suddenly woke up and became much more sober.
But in a trance, he seemed to see a familiar face among the team entering the city. It was the person on the wanted poster that they had been looking for day and night!
Unexpectedly, when he looked again, the person was gone!
He immediately shouted to his companions, "There's something going on over there! Come with me, two brothers!"
The three men ran over quickly with guns in hand, but they stripped almost everyone in the area but still couldn't find any suspicious persons.
Su Tao only slept for four or five hours last night and got up at six in the morning to listen to Zhuang Wan's report on her daily work and Tao Yang's recent situation.
"Everything is normal in Taoyang. He Kang's research team also arrived in Taoyang safely last night. There were no casualties. Mr. Shen asked me to express his gratitude to you on his behalf."
Su Tao was quite happy: "This mercenary team called 'Pozhu' is quite capable. I thought that in the best case scenario, there would be only a few casualties. That's really good. Let's pay them the balance of the mercenary fee as soon as possible."
Zhuang Wan hesitated and said, "I was just about to tell you about this 'Pozhu'. After they escorted Mr. Shen and the others to Taoyang, they probably saw that the environment here was so good that they suddenly changed their minds and didn't want the balance. They wanted us to help take in someone."
Su Tao frowned slightly: "We signed an agreement when we cooperated, how can we change the compensation method just like that?"
Zhuang Wan sighed, "I told their Captain Duan the same thing, but Captain Duan hopes that you can meet him after you return, and his attitude is very sincere."
"Then I heard that the man they wanted to send to Taoyang was Captain Duan's teacher. He had led the team for over ten years and was very skilled in both martial arts and marksmanship. But last year, he fell ill and was in excruciating pain. He had been to many places but couldn't get a cure. Captain Duan decided to give up and find him a good place to retire, where he could at least enjoy a few days of peace and stability."
Su Tao asked, "Have you seen Dr. Zhong?"
Zhuang Wan shook her head. "Captain Duan didn't bring his teacher with him, but he described the clinical symptoms. Gao Yi initially diagnosed it as a severe case of myelitis. His special abilities can't cure this condition, and our current medical facilities aren't adequate. Sending him to Changjing might offer some hope."
"Then why not send it to Changjing?"
"Captain Duan said they have enemies in Changjing. Hey, Boss, why don't you wait for you to come back and meet Captain Duan? I think he's a very loyal and righteous man. Besides, his teacher is really talented and very good at military management. He was the one who established the 'Pozhu'. Maybe he can even help us establish the Taoyang Self-Support Army."
These words touched Su Tao: "Okay, then you arrange for them to stay in Taoyang temporarily and wait for me to come back."
"Okay." Zhuang Wan agreed, and then gently urged:
"Boss, it's already October. Let's put the construction of the new house on the agenda. Also, do we need to expand the cafeteria? It's a bit crowded."
Su Tao held her forehead with her hand. "I know, I know. The two schools in Dongyang haven't been completed yet. I'm really being squeezed dry. By the way, how many people are there in Shen Wencheng's research team? I still have to build a dormitory building for them today. Also, let Shen Wencheng talk to Mr. Mei to see how to build their research laboratory."
Zhuang Wan said attentively, "32 people, thank you for your hard work, boss. Please hold on. We also need the land for the training ground—"
Su Tao hung up the phone decisively.
Before leaving for the trade fair, Su Tao saw that Shi Zijin looked a little serious, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Anything that can make him worried must be no small matter.
Su Tao asked him, "Is there something wrong with Dongyang?"
Shi Zijin pinched his nose and whispered:
"The guards in Dongyang said last night that someone saw Bone Wing, but they haven't found it yet. I'm a little worried that it has already sneaked into the city. The old leader is now organizing a city-wide screening and strengthening the supervision of Liu Panpan."
Su Tao's heart was pounding. "Dongyang has such strict entry inspections, how could it sneak in?"
Shi Zijin said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be through the main gate."
Su Tao felt unwell.
Damn, I forgot it can fly.
At the same time, she was extremely grateful that Taoyang had built the protective shield early on. No matter whether it went up to the sky or into the ground, no one could sneak into Taoyang.
"Then do you want to go back?" Su Tao asked.
Shi Zijin was very sorry: "Yes, you have to leave this afternoon at the latest. I will let Kaiyu stay with you."
Su Tao waved her hands quickly: "You don't have to be sorry, this matter is extraordinary, you must go back, and you can take Jian Kaiyu with you. There will be no problem on my side, and even if there is, I can handle it myself."
Shi Zijin originally thought that he could at least accompany her for another half a day, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the trade fair, the old leader called him and asked him to come back quickly.
Bone Wing appeared in the city and killed a four-year-old boy.
When Su Tao heard the news, she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Director Guo called and told her very sadly that the dead child was named Yangyang and was from an orphanage.
Last night, a teacher discovered that he was not in bed and searched for him all night. Then early in the morning, he heard that a child had died on the street. Principal Miao ran to identify him crying, and it turned out to be him.
Su Tao punched the wall, his heart filled with anger and sadness.
It was Gu Yi. He was taking revenge on Liu Panpan, on everyone, and on the world.
Poor Yangyang, he thought he had found a good mother to rely on, but he didn't expect that this mother not only treated him as a substitute, but also as his death warrant.
