Chapter 313 Chapter 313

Huang Tianzhen received the notice from his superiors in the evening. At that time, he was eating barbecue at a table outside the barbecue restaurant with Su Sanan and Han Qi.

Barbecue should be paired with beer, but their team didn't know when they would suddenly have a mission to carry out, so they couldn't drink alcohol. They had to regretfully switch to Coke.

"It's such a beautiful evening, but there are only three of us. What a pity." Huang Tianzhen said as he enjoyed the cool breeze. "Gong Qian didn't come because he still has some medical data to sort out. Why did the captain refuse the invitation? I'll treat you."

"The captain said the report has not been processed." Su Sanan replied.

Huang Tianzhen took a bite of the chicken skewer and said, "Ah? Didn't you submit the report last night?"

"It seems that there are some minor issues that need to be revised." Su Sanan shook his head and said, "I don't know. The captain is responsible for the recent reports. Maybe the writing standards for the reports have changed."

"Tsk." Huang Tianzhen took a sip of Coke and put the cup heavily on the table. He obviously didn't drink, but his face was a bit lazy, as if he was really drunk. He rested his chin on the table with one hand and his eyes were blurry. "Never mind him, he couldn't come because of his own choice. It's not that I didn't invite him."

Han Qi looked at the skewers on the plate, thinking about the captain's recent behavior, and said hesitantly: "Well, do you think the captain is a little strange recently?"

"Strange? What's strange about that?" Huang Tianzhen asked back, "I think he's the same as usual, still that cold and indifferent person."

"I haven't seen the captain eat or drink in the past two days." Han Qi said.

Huang Tianzhen looked confused: "Ah?"

Su Sanan put his finger on his chin and said, "Now that you mention it... the captain has not eaten with us in the cafeteria since the end of the last vacation."

The relationship between the members of Qingtong's team is good, but no matter how good it is, they are not as close as Siamese twins. In particular, Qingtong, as the team leader, is busier than the members who are only responsible for executing tasks. He has to exchange information with other teams to prevent all B-level teams from being concentrated in one province. He also has to connect with his superiors to collect supplies for the B-level teams. Occasionally, he will go to the research institute to hand in the spoils they got when hunting strange monsters, and at the same time, he will also get a batch of "orders" from the research institute.

B-level teams can directly take on the task of hunting B-level monsters, but it does not mean that they will only hunt B-level monsters. They will also kill low-level monsters they encounter on the way, collect a batch of spoils and hand them over to the research institute to make weapons and armor. The so-called "order" is a list of monsters that the research institute lists that they are in urgent need of recently.

Especially during the period before and after the mission, Qingtong was the busiest. He had so much work to do that he missed his meals. If Huang Tianzhen and the others had not remembered to bring lunch to the captain, Qingtong might not have had a meal all day.

But I shouldn't be that busy these two days. The C-level task has been completed long ago. The report form is the last link in the follow-up work. Submitting the report form means that the previous task is completely completed.

Although Qingtong didn't feel busy, he didn't go to eat with them. Su Sanan also asked if he needed their help in delivering the food, but Qingtong refused.

"And I never see him at dinner time." Han Qi said, "I always find it weird."

Huang Tianzhen lowered his brows and looked at the two people beside him with a serious expression: "You say, could he be..."

"Is it possible?"

"He's secretly dating a girlfriend!" Huang Tianzhen said excitedly, "He's embarrassed to let us know, and he ran out to date his girlfriend during dinner time! It's too awkward, and I won't laugh at him! It should be said that finding a girlfriend is a good thing!"

"Girlfriend?" Han Qi recalled, "I haven't seen any strange women appearing in the headquarters recently, so that shouldn't be the case."

“Are they from the same department?”

"Impossible." Su Sanan shook his head. "The girls in the same department are all on missions in other places. The ones who have finished their missions and are resting at the headquarters these days are all boys."

"I'm not talking about the operations team, I'm talking about the civilian staff." Huang Tianzhen said in a low voice, "For example, that little Zhao with long hair? She's so pretty!"

"She's married and has two children."

"Then...Xiao Qin from the office next door?"

"She's talking about her boyfriend."

"Or Xiao Xu?"

"Could the 'Xiao Xu' you're talking about be the one wearing the butterfly hairpin? Although she's not married or in a relationship, she's a single person." Su Sanan sighed, "Don't even think about it, that's not the case."

"Ah..." Huang Tianzhen folded his arms and looked at the dim sky, "It can't be a man, right?"

Han Qi, who had not finished his drink, choked: "Cough...what?"

"Just talking." Huang Tianzhen felt the phone in his pocket vibrate and took it out to take a look.

Su Sanan and Han Qi's phones rang only two or three seconds later. The three of them looked at each other. Huang Tianzhen took out some cash and put it on the table, saying, "Boss, I'll put the money here. You don't need to serve the unfinished ones later!"

When the barbecue stall owner poked his head out of the kitchen, all he saw was money weighed down by drink cans on the empty table.

"The weird department's operations team is really busy." The boss put away the money and started to clean the table. "Leave before you finish eating."

His place is close to the strange headquarters, and he always meets people in uniform who come to eat barbecue. He is basically familiar with the members of these action teams.

"Let's serve the remaining skewers next time they come." The boss muttered softly.

Before I finished packing up the things on the stall, I saw a message pop up on my phone, reminding me that the surrounding area would soon become an overlapping space area, and that people who remained here should evacuate in an orderly manner.

"Overlap...what?" The boss was confused. When he looked up, he saw a man wearing a red armband in the distance shouting with a loud speaker for everyone to evacuate.

"Please leave here in an orderly manner. You don't need to take anything with you, just evacuate yourself. Gather at XX Square. Before the overlapping space ends, please all go to the hotel together." The person with the red armband shouted, "Don't be complacent, don't stay here. The other world is not that easy to go to. If you go there without being awakened, your life safety will not be guaranteed!"

The barbecue owner remembered what he had seen in the news, and quickly packed up his things and locked the door. He only took his carry-on luggage and called his family as he walked: "Yes, take the kids to the square as well. Don't come back. What about the overlapping space here? Right..."

More people evacuated here with the barbecue boss, and as imagined, there was no one who was stubborn enough to stay here and travel to another world.

It has been some time since the red sun descended. Those who were stubborn have long since passed away and are no longer alive today.

Soon the people nearby were cleared out, and the people with red armbands even searched under the bridge to make sure there were no people hiding, and then they sealed off the area and waited for the department's awakened personnel to arrive.

Similar things happen in countries all over the world.

The first batch of worldwide space overlaps involves 36 countries, with one to two virtual circles in each country. There are still two hours before the space anchor is activated, and the overlap is expected to last 24 hours.

headquarters.

In the action team's office, Qingtong was sorting packages. Just after he stuffed the last bottle of medicine into the bag, he saw Huang Tianzhen and his men arriving. Gong Qian arrived later, almost ten minutes after Huang Tianzhen and his men.

"Captain." Huang Tianzhen waved to Qingtong with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to going to another world this time."

"Don't waste your time. Time is short. Prepare weapons, medicine, food and water." Qingtong said, "We are merging with another team this time. After arriving in the other world, all members must act together and do not leave without permission."

"Are food and water necessary?" Su Sanan asked doubtfully, "Aren't we only there for 24 hours?"

"Don't underestimate the strange realm and the alien world." Qingtong said, "Maybe to the outside world, we are only there for 24 hours, but the time we spend inside may not be that long. If something unexpected happens, at least we must ensure that we have a source of energy, and don't rely on luck for everything."

"Listen to the captain." Huang Tianzhen took out two bags of chocolate and stuffed them into his bag. "Hehe, I've prepared something high in calories. It's absolutely foolproof."

"What we really need to prepare is water." Han Qi said, shaking the bottle.

Although Su Sanan's ability can provide the most basic source of water, the use of his power may also rely on physical strength and energy to maintain, so if you can bring your own water, then bring it first.

As for Gong Qian, as a medical assistant, all he needs to pay attention to are things like alcohol, bandages, and various medicines issued by the department.

It took them about twenty minutes to prepare their luggage. When they arrived at the circle that would connect to the other world, they ran into another team that was already waiting there.

What surprised Qingtong was that the other group were all acquaintances.

"Hi, long time no see." Gan Xiaoqing greeted Qingtong with a smile, "I didn't expect you guys could become a B-level team so quickly, that's amazing."

"Long time no see, Xiaoqing! When did you get here?" Huang Tianzhen immediately came over, "How is it? Seeing our powerful golden thighs, shouldn't you hug us quickly? Don't be afraid of this trip to the other world, I'll protect you."

Gan Xiaoqing shrugged: "We just arrived in the afternoon, and we received this task before we even had a chance to rest. It's really tiring."

Su Sanan: "I didn't expect the other team was you guys, I thought it was also a B-level team."

Qu Zhongyi: "There are only three B-level teams in the country. How can we send them all out at once? Besides, our strength is not bad. Give us another year or so, and sooner or later we will grow into a B-level team."

Lan Tiantian, who was in the same team as Gan Xiaoqing, walked up to Gong Qian and looked him over. "You are the doctor in Qingtong's team, right? I watched the recorded surgery. Can you teach me when you have time? I also want to perform a weird surgery on my own in the future."

After saying that, the girl smiled and gestured: "Of course, it's not for nothing that I let you teach me. I'll pay the tuition."

"If we have time." Gong Qian nodded.

He knew this girl. She was a student in the same class as Qingtong and the others. She was the only one who knew medicine, but she was studying medicine.
