Chapter 109: Weird Beast Tide + Extreme Cold
Click.
Li Lan stood up in panic, tripping over the stool. "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I have something like that!"
Li Lan was in a panic. He had no special ability. He had joined the organization early and had only a mediocre position. He was not responsible for any core confidential matters, and he did not have to do any small things. He only had a job setting up a stall here. He was too lazy to ask about the details and just muddled through.
However, with the recent unrest in the Northwest region, he had vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Now that he was actually being called upon, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Qiao Qiao was not sure about the man's identity at first, but judging by his reaction, he must be related to the "God's Descent" organization.
She didn't delay any longer and directly showed her major general badge, "You are under arrest. Put down everything and come with us."
When Li Lan saw the badge, he immediately turned around and ran, kicking and knocking over many shops along the way.
"Ouch, I'm going to die!"
"Blind thing, don't you know how to see the road?"
"Why are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"
Qiao Qiao looked down at the information in the chat channel and did not chase after him. "Let's go, let's go explore some other places."
Li Lan ran out of the market and looked back to see no one catching up with him. Just as he slowed down to wipe the sweat off his face, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"who……"
Before he could finish his words, he felt dizzy and the next second he was pinned to the ground and subdued.
"take away."
"Mingli has been caught." Qiao Qiao turned off the system and started the motorcycle.
She was not that stupid. She and Yueying were going to have to investigate the huge Northwest region, so naturally she had to notify Tang Mingli and ask her to secretly send someone to help.
What's more, for such a major event, it is natural to leave a record of the work so that the superiors will be aware of it, so that it will be easier to get promoted in the future.
Then, within two hours when the Sky Eye Card became invalid, Qiao Qiao wandered around the central city and outer city areas. In the central city area, he found three old and dilapidated residential buildings with problems, while the ones in the outer city area were even more terrible.
As soon as we arrived at the outer city area, the screen of the Sky Eye Card was full of red. It was obvious that there were no high-level card drawers in the outer city area, and the forces behind them did not need to worry about being discovered and acted recklessly.
Qiao Qiao directly sent the screenshot to Tang Mingli and went to the nearest place to check the situation.
As soon as they reached an abandoned shelter, Xiao Qiao jumped out of his arms, ran to the corner, retched a few times, and then dug for something.
Before Qiao Qiao could do anything, a few green balls appeared in the soil. They were about the size of quail eggs. If Xiao Qiao hadn't dug them out, they would probably never have been discovered.
"Don't move!" Not knowing the specific effect of the green ball, Qiao Qiao put on gloves, took out the disinfectant spray and sprayed Xiao Qiao all over his body, especially the two paws that touched the ball, and wiped them several times.
Then he put it in a plastic bag and told Tang Mingli the situation.
Before Qiao Qiao could deal with it, the beast tide came again.
It wasn't until late at night that all the mutant animals were dealt with.
"You're back. Are you hurt?" Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe had been worried about their daughter's safety and couldn't sleep. They would only feel relieved when they saw her return safely.
Qiao Qiao was too tired to speak. She just handed the plastic bag containing the green meatballs to her parents and wanted to go upstairs to sleep.
"Hey, don't sleep yet, use the primary treatment cabin to treat the wounds on your body." Qiao Huizhou looked at Qiao Qiao's torn winter clothes, the blood that seeped into it had soaked the clothes.
Qiao Qiao couldn't open his eyes, leaning on Yueying and muttering: "I'm so sleepy..."
"You can't sleep with injuries all over your body." Qiao Huizhou half hugged and half embraced Qiao Qiao and put her into the primary treatment cabin in the living room.
None of Qiao Qiao's injuries were serious. Most of them were abrasions caused by not dodging quickly. All the wounds healed in less than five minutes.
"This child..." Qiao Huizhou looked at his daughter's sleeping face, feeling distressed and helpless.
"I'll carry her upstairs." Yueying picked up Qiao Qiao and did not forget to explain the situation of the green ball before going upstairs.
Qiao Xinghe said seriously: "I understand. I will take it to the laboratory for examination tomorrow morning."
It is the 522nd day of the apocalypse, December 6th, and there are still 2 days until the end of the beast tide.
Compared to the clearness of her brain, the first thing Qiao Qiao felt was the pain in her body. She felt sore all over. But her whole body was clean and refreshed, obviously someone helped her wash last night.
She rolled around in bed with the quilt in her arms for a few rounds, not wanting to get up at all.
Fortunately, I finished all my work yesterday and can rest at home before the beast tide arrives.
She opened the system chat channel, and at the top was Tang Mingli's message.
"All suspicious persons and items have been controlled. Many people confessed to the identity of the God's Descent Organization, but they did not know the use of the green pills. Wang Fuyun verified that they were not lying. Currently, the green pills have been sent to various laboratories, and we hope to crack them as soon as possible."
Qiao Qiao frowned. Such a large-scale drugging was enough to show that the power of the "God's Descent" organization was greater than she had imagined, but who were they? All the top people in the country had been checked, and there was no problem with them.
Did we miss someone?
Or maybe this person is hiding too deeply that even the Federation cannot detect him.
The 523rd day of doomsday, December 7th, is only one day left until the end of the beast tide.
"Great, there's only one day left!"
"It will be over soon."
"Finally! The smell of blood has been making me sick for a while now."
Qiao Qiao was lying on the bed, looking at the messages in the chat channel. Most people were optimistic, but she knew that the last day would not be easy to get through.
After several days of excessive physical exertion, I gradually got used to it. When I woke up this morning, my body was only a little sore.
She slapped her body in frustration, "You are such a loser!"
When she went downstairs, she was surprised to find Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe at home. Since the research institute had made a discovery, they had been in the laboratory for a long time, going out before dawn and coming back late at night. Qiao Qiao hadn't seen them at home in the morning for a long time, "Dad, Mom, you didn't go out."
Qiao Huizhou put away his serious expression and greeted with a smile: "Well, on the last day of the mission, the Federation requires all high-level card drawers to go to the outer city area to resist the beast tide."
"Oh, you guys be careful." Qiao Qiao picked up the sandwich.
Qiao Xinghe's face was gloomy: "The effect of that green pill has been found out."
Qiao Qiao was curious: "What is it?"
Qiao Xinghe: "Attract animals, especially mutant animals, and drive them crazy to a certain extent."
Qiao Qiao frowned, but was not very surprised. She had roughly guessed it based on Xiao Qiao's abnormal behavior in recent days, but she just had no evidence.
"What does the Federation say?"
Qiao Huizhou drank a sip of milk and sighed, "What can I say? It's still the same as before. We'll hold a meeting and make up our minds to catch the God's Descent Organization and continue the investigation."
"I don't think they can succeed." After many things happened, Qiao Qiao did not have a good impression of the Federation.
Take the last inspection for example. The staff treated some people in the central city who had some capital but not much money badly. They took the opportunity to accept and rob precious items. However, they were very respectful to people in the inner city. Some of them had strange personalities and did not like others entering their homes. They would leave after giving some cards to them. There was no serious inspection according to the regulations.
There are even some people, such as the Director of the Special Management Bureau, the Federal Chief Executive, the President of the Parliament, the Marshal, the General, the Lieutenant General, etc., whom the staff dare not investigate at all.
Qiao Qiao suspected that the founder of the God's Descent Organization might be among them, but without solid evidence, no one dared to act rashly.
As for the green pill this time, it might be able to capture some of the organization's minions, but it is unlikely to succeed in capturing the founder.
Qiao Huizhou also knew the answer: "Well, at least without the green pill, the Northwest District is no longer a delicious cake in the eyes of the mutant animals."
"Buzz-buzz-buzz--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm sounded.
"The highest level of alert, there must be a beast tide coming." Qiao Qiao and her parents put on their cold-proof clothes.
Even though the winter clothing was made of special materials and was rarely damaged, the mutant animals were not to be underestimated and could be easily damaged in battle. Therefore, the three of them put warm packs in their pockets.
The warm pack is produced by the system and can keep the whole body at 20-25℃ for 10 hours each time.
The effect of the green pill had worn off, so Xiao Qiao could naturally join in the fight. By the time the three of them arrived, the beast tide had already arrived.
To make matters worse, it rains and leaks. Fighting in a temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius was already difficult, and now it was snowing heavily. The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds pressed down overhead, as if the sky would collapse in the next second.
The biting cold wind blew snowflakes onto people's bodies. People who were wearing cold-proof clothing were fine, but those who were wearing old down jackets suffered.
An endless tide of beasts came, led by a pack of mutant wolves, each with green pupils showing in the gloomy weather.
Qiao Qiao did not attack first, she stood on a high place and watched the ordinary people fighting the army. She accidentally saw many familiar people, Xia Momo, Tang Mingli, Tang Zhijie, Diwu Boshan, Su Qian, Xiao Yan and other high-level card drawers were still watching.
Three hours later, the beast tide showed no signs of dissipating, and people gradually became exhausted, so the high-level card drawers took action.
This time, only 50% of the beast tide are young mutant animals, 40% are in the growth stage, and the remaining 10% are in the mature stage, which will naturally be the responsibility of Qiao Qiao and other high-level card drawers.
Late at night, the beast tide was almost resolved, with only dozens of mature mutant animals left. Just when everyone thought success was just around the corner, an accident happened.
"roar!"
Accompanied by a huge roar, several shadows quickly attacked from a distance.
One of the shadows slapped Su Qian. Su Qian was young, and his water control ability was of limited use in the ice and snow, so he fell backwards.
"Be careful!" Tang Mingli flew forward, caught Su Qian's body and held him in his arms, rolled on the ground twice to relieve the force, and when he looked down, he saw that Su Qian had fainted, his winter clothes on his chest were torn, and blood was coming out of the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
Tang Mingli called two soldiers over and handed Su Qian over to them: "Hurry up and send her to the No. 2 Research Institute for treatment!"
"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly carried Su Qian away. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of relief.
One of them said: "Even the high-level card drawer was seriously injured. We would just be cannon fodder if we stayed there. Fortunately, we were able to leave."
Another person carried Su Qian on his back and asked: "Do you think we can hold the Northwest District this time?"
"It should be possible. There are so many high-level card drawers here. The Federation will eventually find a way."
"That's right. If the sky collapses, there will always be someone taller to hold it up."
"boom!"
Qiao Qiao put away the energy cannon and magic wand, and used the air advantage to continuously attack the mutant black bear with the elf bow and arrows.
A flaming arrow with special effects shot at the black bear's back, directly hitting the wound caused by the energy cannon, and flames began to burn.
The black bear rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire. Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to finish off the enemy with his rifle and musket, and finally killed the enemy.
"Ha ha……"
The flight card time ended, and Qiao Qiao was exhausted. He had no choice but to use a small protective shield to hide inside to recover his strength. When others saw the protective shield, they quickly got in to hide.
Qiao Qiao now had time to check the surrounding situation. There were four fully mutated black bears. They had thick skin and flesh, were extremely powerful, and were invincible. No ordinary person could resist them.
She had just dealt with one after using all her cards, Xiao Qiao, Qiao Man, Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe attacked one together, Xia Momo, Diwu Boshan and others fought with another, and the last black bear ran rampant among the crowd, killing countless innocent people.
Yueying had already taken action once before to relieve the pressure on others, and her skill was now in the cooldown period.
All of Qiao Qiao's skills are on cooldown, and he is no longer able to deal with another one.
“Beep——”
A sharp whistle sounded and Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She had heard that familiar voice somewhere before.
Then, dozens of mutant animals, either growing or mature, came running from the inner city...
