Without asking any questions, Ning Feng silently followed Yan Rulong, quietly pondering what had happened.
Did something happen to Chai Ya and the others?
Based on my memory at the time, Roda shouldn't have been seriously injured. Did something unexpected happen later?
Staff reduction?
Disability?
But if it were something this big, Yan Rulong wouldn't be so lacking in urgency.
Or is this just an excuse, and he actually wants to ask about Li Tiandu?
Ning Feng didn't know how much Yan Rulong knew about that matter. Logically speaking, he wasn't qualified to know the details, but who knew if he might discover something.
Card.
The two of them went to Yan Rulong's office without saying a word.
This wasn't the first time Ning Feng had come to his office, and he didn't seem nervous.
It's a bit messy, but it's not annoying; you can clearly feel a sense of order within the chaos.
However, the arrangement of some details is a bit careless, which might bother those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Several picture frames were placed on one corner of the table; it was this detail that added a touch of life to the serious atmosphere.
Sitting opposite each other, Ning Feng became increasingly confused about Yan Rulong's true intentions.
Because no matter how he looked at it, the other party was only doing business as required, without any personal feelings involved.
However, I always felt that something was not right.
It felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat.
Creak.
The chair groaned beneath him, and Yan Rulong seemed much more relaxed back in his room, rubbing his tired eyes.
He is just an ordinary person. Since the incident, he has not only not rested, but has been dealing with high-intensity mental work.
He also took care of some issues that should have been handled by the branch manager...
He was very tired.
Yan Rulong took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and was about to light it, but put it back in after seeing Ning Feng.
Finally, he chose to replace the nicotine patch with a new one and put it on his arm.
Forcing himself to speak, Yan Rulong slowly began:
"In short, to sum it up, they applied for a short leave of one month."
Leave without accepting mandatory tasks, completely removed from frontline duties.
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Ning Feng was somewhat surprised by the result, but it wasn't entirely unexpected.
Can you tell me why?
Instead of answering directly, Yan Rulong took out a stack of documents from his left and placed them in front of Ning Feng.
Um?
With a quick glance, Ning Feng saw the contents: medical test reports of various awakened individuals.
As Ning Feng rapidly flipped through the report, Yan Rulong calmly explained:
"These are all the Awakened teams that came to Bincheng to assist us on this mission."
"Although no real casualties occurred thanks to the final support, nine people were deemed 'recommended for retirement'."
Ning Feng frowned, not because he thought the number was low.
On the contrary, this number is actually quite high.
If the teams are split up, that's a reorganization of 9 teams, which will be an absolute ordeal for the remaining members.
Moreover, these teams should have been quite skilled, so how could something like this have happened?
With the Watchers' medical expertise, they should be able to treat any physical injuries, unless they are fatal.
unless……
"You guessed it? That's right, they were contaminated."
pollute.
The most difficult problem.
This influence is imperceptible and, to a large extent, difficult to contain.
It's not that there are no treatments available, but they either take too long, consume too many resources, or cause some irreversible damage.
If these people don't want to retire, then they need to find ways to suppress and eliminate the pollution.
"This time, those extraordinary creatures... except for a few who still retain their rationality, the will of the rest has been corrupted."
"Their will was destroyed long ago, and all that remains in their bodies is the most primitive killing instinct."
Their bodies are manipulated to attack Awakened Ones, but once they see them, they relinquish control and begin chasing the enemy on their own.
"At the moment of death, the pollution stored in their bodies will erupt outward, causing casualties."
Those dark creatures cause destruction when they are alive, and when they die, they are like bombs that emit pollution.
It was a very cruel method.
This completely disregards the supernatural beings as living beings, treating them purely as props for use.
Ning Feng knew whose handiwork this was.
Li Tiandu.
Even after falling into the abyss, his hatred for supernatural beings did not diminish.
He was corrupted and hated everyone, including the Watchers and the supernatural beings.
Yan Rulong should have been furious at the mastermind's underhanded tactics, but he didn't dwell on it. He simply turned the page and concluded:
"Okay, I just want you to be careful in the future when you encounter this kind of thing, not for you to overthink it."
"The matter is over. All we can do is reflect on our mistakes and avoid falling into the same trap in the future."
Yan Rulong wearily raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"This situation is due to my failed command, and I will take full responsibility."
!!
Raising his hand, Yan Rulong interrupted Ning Feng's hesitant expression and calmly said:
"Don't try to persuade me, I've already submitted the report."
"If someone has to take the blame for all of this, that person is me, and it can only be me."
Yan Rulong said this calmly, leaving no room for rebuttal.
