Chapter 17 Genetic Advantages, Luo Xiaoxue’s Teaching!
After Song Yongfeng, the "outsider", left, the atmosphere between the two was no longer as serious as before.
Although the last time they met was when the original owner just came out of the high walls and they had a quick encounter without even saying hello, Cheng Ye inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with Luo Xiaoxue.
If I have to describe it, she's the female version of Brother B?
He is not shy at all and seems very generous in his speech, actions and interactions with others.
After a few polite words, Cheng Ye immediately changed the subject.
"Sister Luo, when did Brother B leave?"
"He left shortly after finishing his phone conversation with you. The people in the inner city are different from those in our buffer zone. They act like they're being chased by infected creatures."
"I don't know much about hydropower stations, but Brother B..."
"Don't worry about him. He and your father have walked this road to the hydropower station at least a hundred times. He can walk there with his eyes closed. As for the infected body..."
As Luo Xiaoxue spoke, she took out a palm-sized booklet from her bag.
"The hydropower station is Xingfu City's most important asset. We've stationed two 500-man security teams there, so you don't have to worry about its safety. Let's put it this way... the infection wave that broke through our buffer zone went to the hydropower station. It's probably hard for them to even get close. They're just staying there for a while and can't come back."
"As for you, with the recent heavy rains, the frequency of hydrophilic infections is bound to increase significantly. I compiled this booklet, which contains methods for dealing with common hydrophilic infections. It may not be as comprehensive as your brother B's own compilation, but you can refer to it and learn from the inspector's instructions."
"Sister Luo, thank you so much!"
Cheng Ye quickly took the booklet and thanked him repeatedly.
In terms of combat capability, Liu Bi is naturally stronger, but when it comes to organizing information, Luo Xiaoxue is obviously being modest.
He had heard Liu Bi mention it when he was taking a break after training.
Eight years ago, the checkpoints did not have such great powers and the buffer zone was managed jointly by the checkpoints and the Public Security Bureau.
The former is responsible for guarding the sentry post, while the latter is responsible for dealing with infected bodies and protecting the area's safety.
Luo Xiaoxue was an instructor at the Public Security Bureau at the time. She was responsible for teaching and training new recruits on weekdays. When a wave of infection occurred, she would immediately rush to the front line to fight the infected bodies.
Later, the buffer zone was restructured several times, and the Public Security Bureau was abolished by the top management of Xingfu City, and all its rights and personnel were incorporated into the checkpoint.
Luo Xiaoxue happened to be pregnant, so she simply chose to leave and became a "full-time housewife".
Many years passed in a flash.
Cheng Ye flipped open the handbook, took a look, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Luo is still as charming as she was back then. If I finish reading this, I should be considered your student, right?"
"Hey, you're quite... chatty!"
Luo Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but give Cheng Ye a blank look, and the smile on her face became more intense.
Liu Bike has been talking about Cheng Ye a lot recently. In fact, she has already formed a simple impression of him.
Smart, hardworking, diligent and talented, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a younger version of Jackie Chan.
However, it was not until today when the two of them met that she discovered that the real Cheng Ye and the Cheng Ye mentioned by Liu Bi were completely two different people!
Cheng Long, an honest man, probably wouldn't be able to say the sentence just now even if he kept it in for his whole life.
"This is not joking, but telling the truth."
Cheng Ye blinked, "But...are there so many hydrophilic infectious organisms wandering around in our Shi Province?"
A quick flip through the booklet revealed at least sixty different sources of infection.
Moreover, the capabilities of each infection source are different, and if they appear at the same time, the difficulty of dealing with them is definitely not as simple as 1+1.
"a lot of!"
Luo Xiaoxue nodded heavily. "Our Shi Province has a well-developed water system, which naturally attracts all kinds of hydrophilic organisms. Now that the rainstorm line is moving south, no one can say for sure whether they will migrate with the rain line. What's more, the ones I've compiled for you are not all, but only those that have appeared around our Xingfu City in the past ten years."
"Memorizing these will be enough to keep you from panicking when you encounter a regular attack from infected entities. As for those individuals who still retain some level of consciousness after being infected... I heard from Liu Bi that you just dealt with a Deathrattle Tentacle Infected the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, he must have drowned and then been possessed by the Deathrattle Tentacles. He relied on his obsession to force himself to reach Happy City."
"Well, this type of infected body is the one we need to be most vigilant against! Ordinary infected bodies will only hide in the dark and attack suddenly. As long as you are careful and know their special abilities, it will be difficult to be infected if you have your back to the checkpoint.
But those infected with residual consciousness are different. They can disguise themselves, deceive your judgment, and some can even hide from detectors, requiring careful verbal traps to detect their flaws."
"That's perfect. Let me tell you a few typical examples. Your brother B and I have personally encountered them."
Fearing that Cheng Ye would take it lightly, Luo Xiaoxue explained in great detail, with the content far more detailed than the prosecutor trainee training Cheng Ye had previously participated in.
These experiences, in particular, are not the fancy ones learned in apprenticeship training, but practical insights that can only be summarized by people who have personally come into contact with infected bodies.
Since the matter concerned life and death, Cheng Ye listened very carefully and asked questions from time to time.
It was clearly the first time the two of them communicated, but it went surprisingly smoothly.
Ding Dong.
Until the bank closed at 8:30, the staff were still sitting at the door chatting excitedly when they pushed the door open and left.
"Come on, your brother B is not at home today, so there's a bed available. Let's go home and continue chatting!"
One person speaks, one person listens.
One person asks, one person answers.
The questions were tricky and the answers were appropriate.
Luo Xiaoxue patted the armrest of the bench, and the way she looked at Cheng Ye was no longer that of an outstanding junior, but rather that of an unpolished jade!
She had been an instructor for nearly six years and had seen many geniuses, but no one could be compared with Cheng Ye.
Luo Xiaoxue had only seen that kind of instinctive ability to draw inferences from one instance and that ability to understand things quickly in books describing humans in the old times.
It is rumored that in that era, humans did not have to worry about survival, nor did they pursue the use of force. Their brain activity was extremely developed, and their speed of learning and accepting new things was several times that of today's wasteland humans.
"Oh, this is not good, right?"
Cheng Ye scratched his head. "It just so happens that I still have one day off, and I won't start work until the day after tomorrow. How about we do it tomorrow..."
"What tomorrow? It's right now, right tonight!"
No wonder these two people can get along so well, Liu Bi and Luo Xiaoxue's personalities are simply perfect for each other.
Seeing this, Cheng Ye couldn't refuse and could only get on the bus to the suburbs.
"Come over when you have time. You're alone now, right?"
"Um..."
Ah, why does it feel more and more wrong?
It feels like I'm facing my mentor?!
Cheng Ye couldn't help but recall that the supervisor assigned to him after he passed the graduate school entrance exam also said the same thing. At that time, he naively thought that if he could get the supervisor's true teachings, it would not be impossible for him to get a doctorate in the future.
But he soon discovered that his mentor had said this to everyone under him, and after calling everyone over, he did not ask them to impart knowledge, but to do public welfare work, which led to many people next door laughing at them and calling them slaves.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah, I was thinking that I could come and ask Teacher Luo for advice more often in the future."
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
Luo Xiaoxue smacked her lips. Liu Bi and Cheng Long hadn't learned this skill of telling nonsense without thinking. Many prosecutors she had met couldn't do it either, but she didn't expect Cheng Ye to be able to learn it without any instruction.
"I thought you could become a trainee inspector in two months, thanks to the favor Brother Long left behind..."
"I don't need these favors now, and I can't use them."
"Too."
...
The bus was shaking, and by the last few stops, only two people were left.
The chemical plant staff residential area is really remote. Even if it were larger, Cheng Ye would not choose to live here.
Otherwise, you have to take a bus for more than half an hour every day to get to the central checkpoint, not to mention going to the library to read, or going to the South Station on the other side of the buffer zone. It is just like going back to modern times and squeezing into the morning and evening rush hours to commute.
After entering the community, Liu Bi’s house was on the fifth floor of Building 4.
Before Luo Xiaoxue could take out the key to open the door, the security door was pushed open from the inside, revealing a little head with a ponytail.
"Ah, Mom, why did you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Ye standing behind Luo Xiaoxue, and his little head immediately shrank back, leaving only a pair of big black eyes looking out carefully through the crack in the door.
Seeing that cunning and cleverness, Cheng Ye couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile like an aunt.
"Yiyi, this is your brother Cheng Ye, Uncle Cheng's son, the one your father talks about every day."
"Cheng..Cheng Ye Guoguo?"
The voice was a bit childish, which was very inconsistent with the main tone of the wasteland, but it made Cheng Ye's tense mood relax a little.
Sure enough, new hope is the main force against fear!
