Chapter 388 Preparations before climbing



"You all have worked hard. Now that things are over, you can have a good rest."

Qin Ziye shook his head: "Now is not the time to rest, the trouble is still to come."

Shen Cheng was stunned.

Qin Ziye explained to Chen Cheng, "After a disaster like this, the crime rate will peak significantly, especially human traffickers, who will be even more rampant. Our Public Security Bureau will have to be on high alert for a long time to come and we can't let our guard down for even a moment."

"I see..."

"Special Investigator Shen..." After looking at Shen Cheng for a moment, Qin Ziye suddenly asked, "What do you think of the position of special investigator?"

Hearing Qin Ziye's question, Chen Cheng pinched his chin and thought for a moment before answering, "Keep your responsibilities in mind, do what you should do, and do what you can. That's probably it, right?"

"Have you ever thought about taking the initiative to fight for something?" Qin Ziye blinked.

Hearing this, Chen Cheng smiled slightly: "I never think about fighting for anything. When I am needed, I will definitely do my best, but if it is normal, as long as I can protect the people around me, that is enough."

"Protect the people around you..."

Qin Ziye lowered his head and murmured something, suddenly thinking of Master Ru, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

"When you say people around you, do you mean your family?"

"Yes, but not entirely. I mean it literally." Chen Cheng said bluntly: "As long as I can see anyone who needs help, I will lend a hand to the best of my ability. This is my responsibility."

Qin Ziye gradually smiled. "It seems like you were this kind of person before you became a special investigator, Officer Shen."

"Maybe, but it was just personality before, and now it's duty."

Qin Ziye turned his head and looked at the citizens who still had hopeful smiles on their faces even though they were surrounded by ruins, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Yes, I am a security guard. There is no point in pursuing fame and fortune. Protecting the people around me is my job.

Master Ru, you actually...want to tell me this, right?

If the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up. People taller than us will hold up our sky, and we will be responsible for holding up their sky.

"Thank you, Officer Shen." Qin Ziye suddenly thanked Shen Cheng, leaving Shen Cheng somewhat confused.

"Are you in a hurry to go back? Do you want to come sit with us at the Public Security Bureau..." At this point, Qin Ziye suddenly remembered that the Public Security Bureau had collapsed in the earthquake, and said, "Do you want to come sit with us?"

"No, I have something else to do later."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first then."

"Goodbye, Qin Zhian."

"Goodbye, Officer Shen."

After watching Qin Ziye leave, Chen Cheng and Liusu had nothing to do, so they continued to wander around to see if there was any place where they could be of use.

"Golden Sword!"

A shout attracted Shen Cheng's attention. He turned around and saw that it was Jin Dao running towards him with his tongue hanging out, and he was pulling at his trouser legs excitedly.

A man in military uniform followed behind Jin Dao. Seeing Shen Cheng, he greeted him, “Officer Shen.”

"Hello." Shen Cheng didn't know the other person's name, so he nodded and greeted him politely.

The soldier looked at the golden knife circling around Shen Cheng and couldn't help but smile: "The golden knife rarely gets so close to people. It seems that it likes you very much."

"I like it, too." Chen Cheng smiled and patted Jin Dao's head. Jin Dao immediately moved closer to him, wagging his tail like an electric fan.

"Should you guys go back soon?"

The soldier shook his head. "Disaster relief isn't over yet. Although we survived this earthquake, aftershocks are likely to strike at any time. We'll stay here for a while to help the residents rebuild their homes, and we'll be ready to send reinforcements to other cities at any time."

Aftershocks...

Shen Cheng sighed: "Everyone is working hard."

“This is what we should do!”

The soldier wanted to say something to Shen Cheng, but suddenly a whistle sounded, and he had to swallow his words back: "It's time to assemble. Goodbye, Officer Shen! Jin Dao, we're leaving!"

"Woof woof!"

After walking around here, Chen Cheng and Liu Su found that there was not much they could do to help. Finally, they had a meal with the citizens and began to rest quietly, waiting for Yu Lan's notification.

"A 25-meter-long giant bird, a giant bird buried on the top of Mount Everest." Shen Cheng couldn't help but think of the golden dragon of Kunlun Mountain.

Could it be the same type of creature?

According to the explanation from the Institute of Biological Sciences, these so-called "divine beasts" in people's eyes are creatures with powerful supernatural powers. To put it bluntly, they have been included in the scope of science.

After all, the existence of people with special abilities, people with adaptability, and people who are awakened can all be explained by science, so there is nothing strange about analyzing these creatures in this way. Ying Yu might be included in this.

Sure enough, anything whose existence can be confirmed can be explained by science.

It was not until the afternoon that Yu Lan's notice arrived, and the group gathered in the tent again.

"It's getting late. Everyone, please pick up your equipment. We will go to the foot of Mount Everest first and start climbing early the next day." As he spoke, Yu Lan and Dr. Xiao Liang also picked up a set of equipment each.

"You guys want to come too?" Shen Cheng was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course. After all, we need to collect samples on site, and we are the only two researchers present." Yu Lan's expression remained unchanged as she led the way out of the tent. "It's time for us to set off."

Shen Cheng and his group hurried to catch up.

Just like that, without any of the citizens of this city noticing, Shen Cheng and his group drove towards Mount Everest.

The foot of Mount Everest was also destroyed by the earthquake. There are only simple shelters built hastily, and you can't even take a shower.

No one complained at all. They just ate some high-energy food at night, packed up and went to bed.

Chen Cheng and Wolf Team slept together, while Liusu, Yu Lan and Dr. Xiaoliang, three girls, slept together.

That night, Liusu went to bed early and the surroundings were quiet. On the other hand, on Chen Cheng's side, the thirteen grown men of the Wolf Team were sleeping in sleeping bags, snoring loudly.

Chen Cheng opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling, without the slightest hint of sleepiness.

After being stunned for an unknown amount of time, Shen Cheng left the sleeping bag and walked out of the room.

The nights in the Western Territory were extremely cold, not to mention the Everest. Even with Shen Cheng's physique, he couldn't help but shiver in such an environment.

Back in the room, Shen Cheng put on the jacket he had been given today and walked out of the room. He felt much warmer.

It was the biting cold wind blowing on his face that made Shen Cheng feel a stinging sensation on his face.
