"My life is so hard, I see other people dating every day."
The two surveillance duo hid on the roof of the opposite building, shivering from the cold.
At this time of year, the nighttime temperatures were usually normal, unlike now, when it's bitterly cold.
Their cameras were found to have been removed the next day.
Moreover, Squad 01 is even more vigilant, having installed infrared alarms throughout the villa. The alarms go off incessantly whenever someone approaches their perimeter.
The higher-ups forcibly seized the villa across the street from them, and the two surveillance operatives were called over again to monitor them with binoculars.
"Actually, I don't understand whether the higher-ups want to monitor Professor Chu or Si Beiting?"
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
The third sound was added.
The two watchers turned around and saw Jack standing behind them, looking at them coldly.
"Lieutenant General!"
The two monitors felt a chill and stood up straight in unison.
"Get out of the way."
Jack stepped forward and took the binoculars.
Across from them, Si Beiting picked up Chu Xinxin and placed her on the table.
Chu Xinxin wrapped her arms around Si Beiting's neck, and the two were very affectionate.
“They’ve always been like this,” Jack asked, frowning.
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
"No abnormalities?"
"No... if I had to say something, it's that the general... has an unusually long duration," the monitor said.
"Also, they like to bathe together," said the second monitor.
Jack: ......
The adjutant stepped forward and said, "Lieutenant General, I don't think it was them that day."
Jack remained silent.
The adjutant said, "Professor Chu doesn't have any special abilities, let alone one that combines speed and aggression."
Jack said in a somber tone, "But that day at the city lord's mansion, I could clearly sense that there were people upstairs."
The adjutant hesitated, "But... Lieutenant General, the cleaning staff did see the two of them enter the men's restroom together..."
Wow!
The Big Gossip.
The two monitors exchanged a furtive glance.
"Indecent!" Jack cursed through gritted teeth. "Let's go."
As soon as Jack finished speaking, everyone's AI devices started beeping.
"Head to Holy Light Hospital immediately! A riot has broken out among the superhumans!"
Jack's pupils constricted, and he leaped directly off the roof!
In an instant, all the guards and personal soldiers of the city lord's mansion rushed to Holy Light Hospital.
When Jack arrived, St. Light Hospital was engulfed in flames and filled with cries of agony.
Several powerful superhumans held down a naked man.
Jack recognized him; it was the man in bed number one.
"How did they escape from the basement?!" Jack grabbed a doctor and asked fiercely.
"Bed number four, bed number four has crawled out from underneath!"
Bed number four?!
"He fled out of the city!"
In the chaos, someone shouted something, and all the superpowered individuals rushed towards the city gate again.
Jack mustered all his strength to chase after it, and finally, just as he was about to reach the city gate, he saw the number four bed.
He stood at the city gate, watching the red-haired zombie in bed number three and the monster born from bed number two, constantly tearing at the guards at the city gate.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and looked over; his eerie green eyes sent chills down one's spine.
He glanced around, then his gaze finally settled on Jack.
Jack felt a chill run down his spine and stopped abruptly.
The one-sided battle at the city gate has ended. The normally powerful superhumans crumbled like tofu blocks.
Before the cannons were fired at him, Bed Number Four fled out of the city with the two zombies.
......
"You mean they faked their deaths to lure the hospital staff back down?"
When Si Beiting and Chu Xinxin received the news, it was already dawn.
David was on watch last night, and he was the one who told them the news.
“Yes.” David nodded. “Although the city lord’s mansion has blocked the news, too many people saw them escape last night.”
The hospital was in complete chaos, but David found a doctor he knew from before and easily got the information.
"The blood in patient number four contains a substance that the other three patients do not have."
As Chu Xinxin spoke, she took out the experimental report she had just completed that day: "This substance can form a protective layer on the surface of the brain, preventing the zombie virus from entering while also filtering out harmful substances."
Chu Xinxin calls this substance "evolutionary cells".
“When I obtained his blood, these cells had already evolved to maturity…” Chu Xinxin’s voice turned somber. “He was lying to me back then.”
She thought he was still human, and out of a moment of pity, she released the device that was holding him captive.
Si Beiting could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
He comforted him, saying, "Even if you don't help him release it, he will command that monster to press the switch for him. He not only has intelligence, but he can also command the other two zombies. It's not your fault, don't overthink it."
"Hmm." Chu Xinxin's heart was still heavy. "What are the City Lord's plans now?"
"The city lord's mansion is in an uproar right now. Everyone with military rank and real power is questioning the city lord about why he put such a dangerous thing into the base." David suddenly remembered something and added, "Except for the head, everyone else is gone."
Si Beiting raised an eyebrow: "Wouldn't it be strange if I didn't go?"
“Yes, you’d better go now, or the people watching you will come too.” David shoved his car keys into his hand.
"I'll go with you."
Chu Xinxin said.
......
The City Lord's Mansion.
Faced with the crowd's questions, the city lord remained silent.
As they were talking, someone actually suggested that they should elect a new city lord.
"The city lord is old and his body and mind are not up to par. For the future of the base and the future of humanity, I propose that the city lord be appointed by the most capable person!"
The room fell silent immediately after he said that.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Jack laughed in exasperation. Did they really come here for the safety of the base? Or to seek justice for those who died at the city gate last night?
Their real goal is to seize power!
I disagree.
Si Beiting's voice came from outside the door.
He and Chu Xinxin stood on either side of the city lord.
Si Beiting still had that smiling look on his face: "Gentlemen, the zombies in Death Valley have probably heard your plans. Change the city lord? Change who? You? When the zombies come, what will you use to deal with them? Your bodies, which have been emptied by wine and women?"
These powerful figures, holding high positions and living a life of ease, have lost the passion they had when they first established the base.
Before anyone could refute him, Si Beiting spoke first: "The city lord is not speaking because you are not giving him a chance to speak. I believe that the city lord is wholeheartedly for the base and for the future of Renlai, and will definitely give us a satisfactory explanation."
Everyone understood: Si Beiting was putting the city lord in a high position, forcing him to speak.
"Lord of the city, please say a few words."
Si Beiting thoughtfully took a microphone from his pocket and handed it to the city lord.
The city lord was silent for two seconds, then slowly stood up from his chair.
Although he was old, he was still tall and strong.
"Gentlemen, please follow me."
