Chapter 80 Routine inspection! [Seeking monthly ticket subscription]
"The third one was easy."
Zheng Shiduo clapped his hands and left the narrow room.
Wang Jixuan lowered his head and went in, burning the mimic blade beast and the "human skin", watching the flickering flames.
They were currently still on the 46th floor, at the edge of the City of Joy, in a slum built of abandoned containers.
Under the dim light of the surrounding street lamps, those figures lay or sat calmly and weakly inside and outside their "homes".
They were not curious about what happened here.
Wan Xiaoqi squatted in front of a few skinny children and took out the emergency food he had on him and handed it to them. The children wanted to grab it, but as if they remembered something, they retracted their hands tremblingly.
Lin Bo, who was standing guard nearby, sighed and whispered, "It's useless. They don't dare to eat it without the gang's permission."
"Why?" Wan Xiaoqi's voice trembled slightly.
"Because the lower city is outside the order, it is an additional place of the fortress, the blood bank of the fortress."
Zheng Shiduo pouted and muttered, strolling forward with his hands behind his back, muttering disapprovingly:
“In order to produce more materials, the fortress must cultivate low-cost labor.
"Because of the existence of the Lower City, the Fortress has enough miners to go to the outer expansion area to mine and transport, despite the threat of being attacked by blade beasts. The Middle City then uses these natural resources to manufacture guns and ammunition to protect the Fortress and support the front line.
"Is this correct? Definitely not. But will the fort have enough firepower if it doesn't do this? It's very likely that it won't be enough. The average firepower of the fort's defense area and the internal volume of the fort are a complex calculation formula.
“Fortress No. 76 is a fortress with an above-average civilization ecology, and its civilization index is always high… because most other fortresses are worse than this one.
“Many fortresses on the brink of collapse have begun to use extreme measures.
"Xiao Qi, you don't have to feel guilty about this. You will have to face the death threat from the Blade Beasts in the future. Your life is because your parents are fighting on the front line, and you will follow this path in the future... Lingtong's logistics team has to add a few members every year due to personnel losses. You should also pay more attention to it. Have fun in your spare time and find a few boyfriends and girlfriends."
Zheng Shiduo smiled with narrowed eyes.
This is one of the rare "normal" things he can say.
Wan Xiaoqi asked: "Can't Central City allocate some supplies to us?"
"No."
Zheng Shiduo said calmly:
"No matter how much money we spend on the lower city, it is just an added value on the foundation. However, the middle city is the central pillar of the fortress. Without the lower city, the fortress can still rely on the middle city to operate normally and feed and protect hundreds of thousands of people. It's just that the supplies shipped to the outside will be greatly reduced."
"But……"
"Okay, get up quickly. This is the first time I've seen something like this. I blamed myself for half a month and even vowed to make changes."
Zheng Shiduo curled his lips and raised his eyebrows:
"Later I realized that it was just me being too naive... We killed three Mimic Blade Beasts, and I don't know if the others are hiding."
"There should be no communication between them."
Taoist Wang, who had already cleaned up the bodies and traces, called out:
“The two blade beasts behind didn’t notice us coming.
“There should be more on the forty-sixth floor.
"Keep searching. We need to move faster. In addition to finding these blade beasts, the most important thing is to find the way they entered the fortress."
"understand!"
"Yes!"
Zheng Shiduo and Wan Xiaoqi agreed.
Before leaving, Wan Xiaoqi put two bags of emergency food in a corner, looked down for a while, then turned around and quickly followed Wang Jixuan's back.
……
The third floor of the fortress, the home of psychic power.
Wei Lin was sitting quietly under the guiding light.
His dry old face took on an oily luster under the sunlight.
He is meditating.
This is a way that allows him to feel the boundary between "reality" and "illusion". After each meditation, Wei Linzheng's understanding of psychic energy will be improved slightly.
Similarly, daily meditation is his most important thing and he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
Today there is a blind guy...
"Commissioner! Commissioner!"
Bang bang bang!
"Ok?"
Wei Lin was frowning and opening his eyes, looking at the reckless middle-aged man in front of him, and decided to wait for him to speak about the emergency before punishing him appropriately.
"what happened?"
"Specialist! Three of the Mimic Blade Beasts we targeted earlier have been killed! The psychic signal has disappeared!"
Wei Lin's frown gradually relaxed: "Who's down there?"
"do not know!"
"Can't you investigate it and then come to report to me?" Wei Linzheng's voice gradually became colder.
Two drops of cold sweat appeared on the visitor's forehead, and he said quickly:
"Specialist! We are being watched closely now! Before, we said we wanted to support the battle in the desert, but it was rejected by the defense army. Everyone's actions are completely restricted... But how can they find the Mimic Blade Beast? Considering the intelligence given to us by the headquarters before, Black Storm has the ability to identify Mimic Blade Beast..."
Wei Linzheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is that E-level psychic down there? Interesting."
He thought carefully, his body floated up, his feet landed, his hands behind his back, and he said slowly:
“Everyone gather together and choose the right time to sound the Mimic Blade Beast attack alert to the fortress in order to legally obtain the authority to intervene.
"Feng Bangjie and I will stop the half-man mecha. You select three or four C-class psychics with outstanding abilities and send them down to destroy the Mimic Blade Beast and capture the Black Storm alive. This way, we will have a bargaining chip in our hands.
"Remember, destroying the Mimic Blade Beast is our priority. This is our job. Even when dealing with an E-class psychic, we cannot be careless... This is a very interesting specimen. If we cannot capture it alive, we must collect enough cells from it and make the relevant dead appear to be controlled by the Mimic Blade Beast."
The middle-aged man shouted: "Yes! Commissioner!"
"Watch the volume, psykers, be classy, and always remember that we are all-round evolution."
……
at the same time;
The fourth Mimic Blade Beast was discovered in the Silver Party territory on the 46th floor.
With the help of Lin Bo and Lin Yong, they have checked every corner of the 46th floor, and according to the previous rules, they can go directly to the 48th floor.
——While exploring the forty-sixth floor, Taoist Wang’s spiritual consciousness had already vertically checked the forty-seventh floor.
"Just go to the bottom floor. I'll check all 48 floors at the same time."
Master Wang explained:
"I feel that the last few blade beasts are more likely to be on the 49th floor, and the fortress's defense loophole may also be at the deepest part of the underground."
"Yes!"
"Boss," Zheng Shiduo asked quietly in the car behind, "How did you find them?"
"There is a kind of telepathy between me... and the Blade Beasts, similar to that between prey and hunter."
Taoist priest Wang made up a lie and solemnly reiterated in his heart that they, the monks, did not have the saying of "not telling lies".
Zheng Shiduo leaned back, his eyes full of admiration, and tactfully did not ask any further questions.
There was a gangster convoy escorting them nearby. After entering the 49th floor, the purge troops sent out several armored vehicles. Lin Bo and Lin Yong transformed from drivers to followers, carrying backpacks and guns beside them. Wang Jixuan carefully sensed everywhere and put his spiritual awareness to the maximum.
Zheng Shiduo looked at Lin Bo and Lin Yong, and muttered with a smile: "You two brothers?"
"Yes," Limbo replied vigorously, "the test tube next door! The same nursery, the same nursery, the same soldier training academy!"
Zheng Shiduo winked and said, "Hey, hey, we are brothers at ordinary times, but are you here to help me in an emergency at night?"
"Well," Lin Bo explained quickly, "We are not in that kind of relationship! We strictly follow the normal breeding values advocated by the Fortress, and we are both interested in fertile women."
Wan Xiaoqi complained: "Captain Zheng, what are you doing? Stop teasing them!"
“Hahaha!” Zheng Shiduo clicked his tongue, “I can’t help myself when I see a handsome guy.”
Taoist Wang suddenly said, "Stop the car."
Zheng Shiduo's face turned pale. He thought he had gone too far in making dirty jokes and was going to be kicked out by the boss!
fine……
Wang Jixuan stood up and jumped off the armored vehicle, staring at a residential area with a frown.
Wang Jixuan is very familiar with this place.
Every time he set out from the wooden house to attack the Black Fire Gang's territory, he would pass by here. This was the edge of the Wanlijin Gang's territory, and he could see several men and women sewing clothes under the light in front of the door.
What made Wang Jixuan frown was the slight fluctuations that appeared on these people.
Demonic spirit.
Humans who are faintly infected by demonic energy?
Wang Jixuan gestured, "Xiao Qi, request more troops, at least 300 people."
"Got it! Xiao Qi will take care of it right away!"
Wan Xiaoqi agreed crisply, took out the micro terminal he carried with him, and quickly sent a message to Sister Wan at the supply station, applying for permission to use some of the combat girls.
Wang Jixuan led Lin Bo forward, climbed the winding and simple metal stairs, and stopped in front of a middle-aged woman.
"Miss?"
Lin Bo stepped forward and greeted with a smile:
"What do you do for a living?"
The woman looked timidly at the handsome young man from the security team, raised the wire basket in her hand, and did not answer.
Lin Bo was about to speak, but Taoist Wang raised his hand and held his shoulder.
"I'd better do it myself."
Wang Jixuan took out a few Happy Coins from his pocket and said with a smile, "Sister, I want to ask you something."
"please sit down."
The woman hurriedly tried to give up her seat.
"No, no, please sit down, sister."
Wang Jixuan waved his hand and asked with a smile:
"We are investigating a fugitive who escaped from Midtown. Have you seen anyone unusual recently? Or anyone who has suddenly changed drastically? Nowadays, plastic surgery technology is very advanced, and it can change a person's face and body shape."
The woman looked at the joy coins.
Wang Jixuan pressed a happy coin into the wire basket in front of her.
The woman immediately laughed: "I have indeed seen some unusual people recently. They are soldiers from the cleanup unit. They often patrol everywhere in their cars and occasionally give us some snacks and medicines. They are all very nice."
Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head, placing two happy coins in her wire basket.
"If you want to say someone suddenly changed his temper, it's true, but I don't dare to say it, it might cause us trouble."
A total of six Joy Coins appeared in her wire basket.
The woman looked around and whispered:
“In fact, just in the past two days, near the Sixth Brewery over there, two people who are said to have super powers came. That guy is amazing. Not only can he levitate in the air, but he can also make people fall asleep directly. If someone is sick, they will be cured when they come to him!
“Yesterday they wanted to worship some kind of goddess Guli, saying that she could bring blessings and help us forget our pain.
"I went over to watch for a while, then I hurried back because I was still boiling water at home... It was quite spooky over there. In the past two days, many people seemed to be crazy, kissing and worshipping the pictures engraved on the metal plates.
"Several big brothers who are in charge of our street also went to take a look, and two of them believed them!
"It's, it's pretty scary!"
Lin Bo asked: "Then why didn't you report it to the purge troops?"
"How could we dare to talk to them? Besides, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Many people claim to be some kind of god or some kind of adult, and they eat and drink for free, but it turns out that it's all fake."
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly: "Can you point us in the direction of that winery?"
"Well, over there, don't tell them I said that..."
"Thank you."
Taoist Wang looked in the direction the woman pointed, temporarily withdrew his spiritual consciousness into his body, and then approached and spread in that direction.
What a strong evil spirit.
One is strong, the other is weak.
It seems that it is not as simple as an ordinary mimic blade beast.
This means...
A crystal core that is slightly higher than the basic blade beast?
Wang Jixuan glanced at Lin Bo and said, "Bring someone over later. I'll go over and explore the way first."
Just as Lin Bo was about to speak, Wang Jixuan snatched the golf club bag from his hand, jumped to the rooftop more than ten meters away, and disappeared after a few jumps.
The woman shuddered all over. "Oh my god! He, he he he!"
"You saw nothing, heard nothing, and you never saw us."
Lin Bo took out a communicator from his jacket pocket, pulled up a photo, handed it to the woman, and threatened her in a low voice:
"Brother Heilin, the boss of Wanlijin, had dinner with me."
"Understood," the woman trembled and tried to return the happy coins.
"Just keep it and spend it in two months, or you might get into big trouble."
"Hey, yes."
Lin Bo glanced at the tin house behind the woman. There were two pairs of children's shoes inside, mixed in with several pairs of adult shoes and boots, so he left with peace of mind.
On the other side, Wang Jixuan had landed in front of a tavern with a sign that read "Flaming Red Snake".
Behind the pub is the brewery.
The source of the evil spirit is underneath this tavern.
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense has already detected that there are about sixty or seventy people underground, very close to the location of the two evil spirits.
If it were him two months ago, he would have probably pulled out his pistol and grabbed his high explosives;
but now……
He took out a few happy coins from his pocket, adjusted his law enforcement uniform, lowered his hat brim, put his hands behind his back, kicked the door open, and uttered his magnetic voice.
"Uptown Law Enforcement Team, routine inspection!"
