Chapter 106
"That's about it. I don't know what's wrong with these people's brains. They suddenly went astray and even attacked the defense team."
As the secretary spoke, there was a look of incomprehension in her eyes.
Although many people died in the town because of the earthquake, the remaining people still have to live. Even the families of those people on the ground are not all dead, and their families still have to rely on the defense team for protection.
Normally, this family would still have some concerns and would not let these people go to such extremes.
But the reality is that these people know that there are people at home who need their care, but they still choose this path.
"Take him away and lock him up first. We'll question him tomorrow morning when we're free. Don't leave anything on him."
After hearing what the secretary said, Mayor Xiao frowned. He also vaguely felt that something was wrong. There must be something else going on.
"It's too late now. Defense Captain, please go back to work. We'll discuss how to proceed tomorrow morning."
Mayor Xiao looked up at the sky. It was a rare good night with countless stars in the sky.
Looking at the bright and dazzling sky, Mayor Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of emotion in his heart. Why couldn't the earth be as peaceful and bright as the sky?
He sighed and followed the captain of the defense team, watching him command his subordinates to lock up everyone. He was relieved after making sure that these people had no abilities and could not get out of such a cage.
"Wait, these people caused such a scene tonight, they must be hiding something else, you should be more careful."
After making sure that the situation had temporarily stabilized and that the matters that required his witnessing had been handled, and that it was time for him to go back and rest, Mayor Xiao felt relieved and prepared to go back.
But before leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned around to give the captain of the defense team some instructions.
"Well, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. When they were struggling, I already had my team members check our defense gates in batches. There's no problem for now."
The defense captain did not ignore Mayor Xiao's advice and carefully recounted his reaction that night.
He had originally planned to tell it the next day, but since Mayor Xiao asked, he didn't hide it.
"That's good. You can go back now. We'll go back and rest first. Come to the town government tomorrow morning when you hand over your shift to discuss things."
Since the other party had already made arrangements, Mayor Xiao didn't hold on to his distrust and insisted on seeing a detailed person. After confirming that there was no problem, he agreed directly.
On the way back, Mayor Xiao looked at the secretary who was still a little frightened and couldn't understand why those people would take action like this, so he gently comforted her.
"There's no point worrying about this now. Go back and have a good rest. Get up early tomorrow morning and come up with a set of rules.
Also, Xiao Liu gave me some information on the mountain. I think it might be related to the behavior of those people tonight, but I'm not sure. I need you to communicate with the captain of the defense team tomorrow morning to see if you can hook him up."
Mayor Xiao had no intention of taking care of the other person just because he was emotionally unstable.
It is understandable that the secretary is emotionally unstable after having just experienced life and death, but these are turbulent times, and the most important thing is to control his emotions and handle his work well.
The more confused you are and the more you can't see the future, the more you need to control your emotions and analyze and deal with things calmly.
This is the deputy he needs.
When it comes to emotional management, Mayor Xiao is more optimistic about Xiao Liu in the mountain. Xiao Liu is the secretary Mayor Xiao has met in recent years who can best keep up with Mayor Xiao's work pace, will not cause him any trouble, and can assist him in all aspects of his work.
Before leaving, Mayor Xiao stared at the secretary again and said, "Act rationally."
"Okay, don't worry, Mayor."
After hearing the last sentence, the secretary, who was originally a little uneasy, became inexplicably sharp and realized that some of his actions tonight were inappropriate, and hurriedly made a promise to Mayor Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Mayor Xiao didn't say anything. He just smiled, waved his hand, and turned back to rest.
But after he really went back to rest, Mayor Xiao couldn't fall asleep again.
"Hello, it's me. Have they detected any mutant creatures that we haven't discovered yet?"
Mayor Xiao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Helplessly, he sat up, picked up his communicator, and dialed the number he was very familiar with.
"You little brat, every time you call me it's to ask for news. Oh, your uncle's health is not worth your concern?"
A familiar male voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He didn't care about Mayor Xiao's slightly serious voice at all, but instead teased him.
"No?"
After hearing Uncle Xiao's voice and guessing his current condition, Mayor Xiao felt a little disappointed.
"There's no official news at all?"
Still unwilling to give up, Mayor Xiao asked again softly.
"Did you find anything over there?"
After listening to Mayor Xiao's inquiring words one after another, even if Uncle Xiao was stupid, he could tell that something was wrong.
"I heard something from the people who went up the mountain. The mutations nowadays are somewhat beyond common sense."
Mayor Xiao said this, but he didn't know how to explain it to Uncle Xiao.
"According to what the people on the mountain said, it's just like what was said in the myths and legends of the past, it has become a spirit."
"Wait over there. I'll be done investigating here soon. Let me come over and take a look."
Hearing Mayor Xiao's somewhat ambiguous words, Uncle Xiao felt a little worried. He gave him some advice before hanging up the phone.
Mayor Xiao was relieved when he heard that his uncle was coming.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust the defense team, but Uncle Xiao has been on the front line for a long time and has a keen sense of the emergence of unknown mutant creatures. This sense is not even possessed by those who have enhanced their five senses.
Uncle Xiao has been able to work on the front line for such a long time and is still alive and well. It can be seen that his business ability is far beyond that of ordinary people.
"I hope I can find it..."
Mayor Xiao did not want to doubt that such a plague god with obvious malice towards humans had come to his town, but some details now made it impossible for Mayor Xiao not to doubt it.
If he had not just heard Xiao Liu on the mountain mention such a mutant creature, he might not have cared about these details, but who made him run into it? The occurrence of such a coincidence is also a reminder from the unknown.
Everything that had happened since the great changes in the world did not allow him to be a pure materialist for the time being. He thought it was normal to believe in superstition in certain aspects.
The bustle at the foot of the mountain continued until Uncle Xiao himself came from thousands of miles away.
These days, people in the town feel that they can no longer live, and the source of this feeling is that the defense team members are not providing adequate protection, and they then launch attacks against the defense team members.
Those who feel that they are weak will be targeted individually; when they are strong or there are many of them, they will target the defense team members who are on duty and look exhausted after working all night.
"Fuck, this has happened so many times. If they keep arresting them like this, the town will have no place to keep them. What's wrong with these people's brains? The town has already said that without our protection, they will eat shit. Or are they just going to wash themselves and serve as food for the mutant plants and animals outside?"
Faced with another suicide attack, one of the defense team members couldn't help but swear after they controlled him.
Being on duty at night requires more concentration and is definitely more tiring than defending during the day. The key is that these people specifically target the defense team members who are off night shift, which makes everyone angry.
To this day, no member of the defense team can fail to curse these people when they mention them.
We rely on these people to protect our food and drink, but the key is that we still hate them so much!
If this continues, the defense team will all become rebellious and will take their families with them to hide in the mountains, leaving the town at the foot of the mountain for those people. Then we will see what the people in the town at the foot of the mountain will eat and drink, and how they will defend against the attacks of those mutated animals and plants.
Although some of the resources in the town were currently allocated by Mayor Xiao, if the defense team had not worked diligently to hand over the supplies to the people escorting them and then safely bring the supplies back to the town, the supplies in the town would have been gone long ago.
Even now, the town defense team has not given up despite being attacked like this, all because Mayor Xiao is holding them by their side. Otherwise, the defense team would have given up long ago.
"Mayor, Mr. Xiao is here. Can I bring him over directly?"
There was a knock on the office door. Mayor Xiao looked up and nodded to his secretary, motioning him to come in.
After listening to the secretary's words, Mayor Xiao stood up immediately.
"No need, I'll go there myself."
As he spoke, Mayor Xiao stepped forward and headed in the direction his secretary had led.
Since Uncle Xiao left last time, although the two of them kept in touch frequently, they hadn't seen each other in reality for a long time.
This time, when he heard that something was happening with Mayor Xiao, Uncle Xiao actually completed the reconnaissance mission ahead of time, talked to his friends, and brought several better front-line investigators here.
Uncle Xiao definitely believed what Xiao Changdong said.
After all, Xiao Changdong is an outstanding young man taught by the older generation of the family. He has vision and vision. In peacetime, Changdong's future path has been paved for him to walk on. His future is right in front of him, and he can handle it.
Uncle Xiao didn't believe that Xiao Changdong, who was so meticulous in everything, would make a mistake.
Because of trust, he came without any doubt. Fearing that he was not capable enough on his own, he brought along a close friend as helper.
"Uncle, please."
They had just met and there was no greeting. Mayor Xiao stared at his uncle and said this first.
Uncle Xiao also knew his nephew's temper. If he wasn't really in a hurry, he wouldn't urge him to work so hard.
"Okay, don't worry, my uncle is here."
Uncle Xiao said this and patted Mayor Xiao on the shoulder.
"Last time, my uncle was saved thanks to the locust leaves you gave him. Otherwise, it would be a question whether he would still be alive. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
After saying this, Uncle Xiao turned around and urged Mayor Xiao to go back.
"Go back, we are busy and don't have time to talk to you."
Uncle Xiao kept waving his hands to drive Mayor Xiao away. After watching the man walk away, Uncle Xiao turned around and looked at his friend.
"Did you find anything?"
The friend nodded.
"Something's wrong, but it's just my feeling. I didn't see it with my eyes."
Uncle Xiao nodded hurriedly in response to his friend's words, "Me too. I just felt something was wrong, but with our eyesight we couldn't see anything. That's a serious matter."
"Let's do as directed. If we can't handle it, have the leader send in more frontline scouts. It would be best if a frontline team of skilled personnel also comes along. Although the enemy is evasive and their attack capabilities may not be strong, it won't be easy to catch them."
As my friend spoke, he lowered his head and began to fiddle with his communicator.
The communicators they used for frontline exploration had all been upgraded by the research institute. After the last incident when Uncle Xiao and his team were trapped in the mine, the higher-ups paid more attention to this aspect.
"You guys take notes, I'll apply to the higher-ups."
Seeing that Uncle Xiao was still observing his surroundings, his friend gave him a reminder.
"Okay, don't worry, we're all watching."
Hearing the reminder, the remaining two friends and Uncle Xiao nodded, turned around, took out their computers and equipment, and began to observe the surroundings and collect data.
After the first round of data collection was completed, Uncle Xiao entered it into the computer system.
"I'll let the data run for a while, and we'll disperse to other places to take a look."
Uncle Xiao said this and began to make arrangements.
"This is the information about the town my nephew gave me. Take it and have a look. I'll go down and check on those imprisoned people. Maybe they'll have some clues."
Uncle Xiao said this, gave the information, and prepared to go see those people himself.
"Those who were locked up? Those who were interrogated but nothing was revealed?"
Hearing this, Uncle Xiao's friend stopped fiddling with the communicator and looked up at Uncle Xiao.
On the way here, they had already heard Uncle Xiao talk about what was happening in the town, and they were very clear about the purpose of their visit.
When they heard Uncle Xiao mention those people, several friends stopped what they were doing. They all wanted to go and see those who were imprisoned first.
A group of people who were particularly hostile to the defense team suddenly appeared in the town. All they wanted to do all day was attack the defense team and kill them.
It’s incredible to think about it. When the captain of Mayor Xiao’s defense team first interrogated these people, they all wondered whether these people had been bewitched.
But after a series of interrogations, no clues were found, as if the hatred that appeared was all made up by them themselves.
The purpose is that simple.
Want to kill the defense team members!
