Chapter 13 City Guard Bureau
The rumbling rainstorm was pounding on the ground. There was not a single soul on the streets of the upper city. Everyone was avoiding the rain.
Even the city guards who were cleaning up the chaos put away their minions tonight.
Because this is acid rain.
The city guards in the upper city do not need to do anything tonight. They only need to sit quietly on the soft chairs of the city guard bureau, pour themselves a cup of hot water when it is cold, and then wait for the sun to rise tomorrow.
This rain will take away half the lives of the rats that break into the uptown area.
There were only two things they needed to do after the rain stopped.
One was to collect the corpses of rats that fell in the streets because of their stupidity.
The other thing is to go into every possible corner of the uptown area and pull out those smart, hiding rats.
They have ten thousand ways to identify those Xiacheng people hiding in corners, among which the most advantageous weapon is household registration.
Not everyone in No. 88 City can have a household registration, especially those from the Lower City.
The heavy rain curtain obscured the sight, and the pungent smell in the air kept irritating people's nostrils.
Zhang Cishun was running on the streets and under the buildings wearing a raincoat.
The rain splashed on his face and skin, and while flowing down, he felt a burning pain.
Jing Shuo was running on the other side of the road.
The two of them were like ghosts walking through the shadows, and the rain completely obscured the sound of their movement.
They had been away from 'home' for ten minutes.
And their destination is just ahead.
When night fell today, Zhang Cishun asked Jing Shuo if he wanted to become a Shangcheng native.
Jing Shuo's answer was no.
This answer did not surprise Zhang Cishun, because just the night before, Jing Shuo told him that he wanted to build a city without upper and lower cities.
With such a wish, how could he be willing to become a city dweller in City No. 88?
But the current situation is that they have to make a choice.
Become an 'uptowner'
or escape pursuit or die.
This is a question of a good choice, or at the beginning neither of them had a choice.
Jing Shuo can fight better than Zhang Cishun and is more ruthless than Zhang Cishun.
But he is definitely not as capable or ruthless as the city guards.
Not to mention the Wilderness Army.
"Slow down! Come closer to me! Approach slowly!"
When he was about to approach the City Guard Bureau, Zhang Cishun gestured towards Jing Shuo.
This is a gesture that the two of them have discussed at home in advance, and is used when it is inconvenient to speak.
The high-rise building of the City Health Bureau is very tall, and there are no other buildings within a dozen meters of it, only parked vehicles and fences.
The fence stood like a spear at the very edge.
Zhang Cishun and Jing Shuo bent over and walked along the fence, looking for a place to climb over.
The two-metre-long sharp metal barrier is less a fence than a spear embedded in the concrete. The body of each 'spear' is extremely smooth, and each one is independent, with no fixed connection between the two.
This made Zhang Cishun feel like he didn't know where to start.
Especially on rainy days, not only is it easy to miss, but it is also easy to lose your footing. He had no doubt that if something unexpected happened during the climb, these 'spear spears' would pierce their bodies!
Jing Shuo was a little eager to try, but Zhang Cishun held him down.
After walking half a circle along the fence and looking ahead to the 'gate' not far away, they found a place they could climb over.
A... broken fence.
It looked like it had been hit by a car. It was crooked and formed a triangular narrow space with the normal fence on the side.
"I should be able to get there, you..." Jing Shuo whispered.
"I can do it too." Zhang Cishun was determined.
... The lights
in the City Guard Bureau
illuminate every corner of the bureau luxuriously, and the darkness and heavy rain outside have not affected the place at all.
The killings during the day left many people with bloody smells on their bodies. Fortunately, the City Guards Bureau had a special place for them to rest and change clothes. Once they changed their clothes, they were the same City Guards again, neatly dressed and holding their heads high. .
"Boss...can I ask for leave tomorrow?" A man who was almost slumped on the sofa looked out the window.
But he couldn't see the scenery outside the window, he could only see the scene in the house reflected on the window.
Only occasionally when lightning burst, he could see the tall buildings outside the window hidden behind the dark curtain of rain.
"No."
He was answered by the man sitting at the desk. There were three people in the room, and he was the only one who was still working with full energy.
On the computer opened in front of him, the trajectory of each team of the city guard was marked on the map.
These trajectories are marked in blue. In addition, there is another black-yellow marked trajectory.
That's from the Wilderness Army.
These tracks occupy almost two-thirds of the entire map or city map, leaving only about the central third of the area uninfested.
"I don't want to go to the inner city, boss... Wouldn't it be better to leave this job to the Wilderness Army?" The person who spoke before turned around: "Let's continue to check the upper city. We have finished checking the streets and alleys. Isn't there still something hidden in the building? , these are all hidden dangers."
"If we don't find them out, what will happen to the safety of the people in Shangcheng District!" "
The Wilderness Army is a foreign army." The captain, known as the boss, put his hand on his watch and repeated several times After the operation, several sets of data were pulled out from the watch and thrown into the computer.
Then I saw that the map on the computer screen added a few more black and yellow tracks.
This means... there are still wilderness troops in action amidst the rain.
"A group of...monsters." The captain murmured softly.
Acid rain is a natural disaster that even the City Guards don't want to face, but for the Wilderness Army, no one has ever acted in the rain. The conditions in the wilderness are much more difficult than in the city.
There is not only acid rain, but also all kinds of disasters that no one can imagine.
The people of the Wilderness Army were very secretive about this.
"They are not from the foreign army... We did not give the order to mobilize their actions. We were worried that they would threaten the rule of the inner city. What were you thinking when you gave the order? Now that you know you are afraid..." The man muttered, his tone full of worry. complain.
"Wu Yan, shut your stinky mouth."
Before the captain could speak, another person in the room spoke. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if it was an illusion when he opened his eyes. A ray of light shot out of his eyes, as sharp as a sword.
Wu Yan didn't seem to expect that he could answer the conversation. He opened his mouth dumbly, but in the end he didn't say a word. He rolled his eyes, stood up and pushed the door open.
The captain didn't even look up, his fingers were planning on the map.
After a while, he said: "Xin Zhe, call him back. I will tell you the course of action tomorrow." ...
