Level III
When Zhou Wen was still young, he did not quite understand why that wimpy old pops liked smoking.
At that time, that middle-aged man would often use one hand to hold a can of cheap beer, stand in one place with a smoke in front, then lean on the doorframe watching the sunset outside. In that golden and soft light, his old pops seemed like a manga character with quite some important role.
Then his old pops would let out a very loud heeee————tui.
And then, use the fingertips yellowed from the smoke to clip an even cheaper cigarette close to the mouth, and suck on it vigorously, then turn around to speak with him, "Son, life is always this crappy."
And right now, Zhou Wen was already close to fifty. He grabbed his own hat, taking it down from the head, with a face full of apathy towards life.
That intern brat following behind very cleverly passed a cigarette to him, and then took out a lighter to light the cigarette for him. Zhou Wen sucked in a puff of smoke vigorously, the smoke sprayed out from the nasal cavity, and he comfortably sighed.
He held the cigarette, and used his thumb instruct this young'n- he remembered the other person's name, Feng Cheng, and thus leisurely propped his own big belly and said, "Xiao'Cheng, this kind of thing is very bothersome, you see. Once you become a regular, you will know, when you meet with this kind of thing, you'd really rather you didn't enter the police academy. Today, I will bring you along to take care of it, and once you do a lot of it in the future, you will be familiar with it."
Feng Cheng's looks appeared to be very plain, it was that type that if you tossed it in a group of people, you wouldn't be able to find it again, but unlike normal, if one carefully observed, then they will find out, even if Feng Cheng dressed extremely plain and simply, this person's physique looked to not be too bad.
Feng Cheng revealed a kind of smile like being surprised by the honour that solely belonged to interns, "Thank you Sir Zhou!"
The tone was excited, and his face even carried an immature smile, like many interns.
While Zhou Wen smoked, he walked into the monitoring room—— according to rules, he originally could not smoke, but at this age for Zhou Wen, the work he did was also the department's secret, so a majority of people would close one eye for him, and was considered a kind of remuneration.
After all, the things that Zhou Wen had to take care of were very troubling.
Zhou Wen played the security footage, then sat on the chair, watching that damned footage of the manmade lake at Wei Ning City's national park he already watched for seven hours. Right now, he was already a ravaged military big-bellied uncle fed up with work, the prideful skill he had in his youth long already concealed along with the fat in the body—— however, the fat could not completely burden his strength.
At this time, this middle-aged man used his big and thick fingers with dead calluses to tap here and there, and one could see that he felt this made him suffer, but he had to do it- however, nicotine made him much more relaxed, and he really started slowly teaching the young person to his back.
"Like this... and then click here... and then..." While he spoke, he cut out those abnormal videos according to the time- these things would not be left in the police department, but needed to be immediately sent to the higher-ups.
Feng Cheng watched very seriously at his back.
Six hours later, after finishing checking the video and ascertaining that there was nothing omitted, the two went out of the monitoring room one after the other. Zhou Wen was walking at the front, speaking to Feng Cheng at the back, "You're not bad, but since we saw some things, we have to take that damned full-body examination, trust me, you won't like..."
Zhou Wen walked out a few steps forward again, and suddenly, he slightly used some strength on the bottom of his feet, and that pair of very old leather shoes trampled on the flooring, but it did not make any clearly abnormal sounds.
Zhou Wen did not say anything anymore.
That face that lost its edges and corners of his slid down with sweat, concentrating, looking at the hallway's signposts in front of him.
He saw those signposts stuck to the wall, warping with a sort of indescribable shape, and to his back, it long already lost the sound of the other person's footsteps.
The hallway's lights went black.
Drip drop, drip drop——
The sound of something dripping down.
Zhou Wen's nerves were taut to the extreme. All of a sudden, there was something hitting with power to the back, so Zhou Wen countered with an elbow hit, he did not hold back any power at all with this, but who knew that a hand would rapidly hit his elbow, and then quickly slide by along the arm like a snake- in this instant, Zhou Wen felt a kind of trembling feeling like being wrapped by a venomous snake, however, the other person seemed to not plan on harming him.
After this hand dispelled the power, it firmly pressed on his elbow, making Zhou Wen's attack melt invisibly.
—— Pah!
The lights turned on.
Zhou Wen's eyes flashed with a shadow, layer over layer, he felt like his brain might have broken down, and actually saw a rioting colour of black.
He shook his head, and flung quite a few sweat drops on his face away, and the person pressing on him opened their mouth.
"Are you alright, Sir Zhou?"
With that extremely plain face, Feng Cheng asked him in concern.
"What happened just now?" Zhou Wen was a bit afraid after the fact, he looked at Feng Cheng, and once again appraised the other party. This time, he finally saw something different, "Wow, you brat, so your skills were this good?"
"Sir Zhou was also very incredible when you were young, I just got lucky." Feng Cheng revealed a fatuous smile, "Just now, the lights in the hallway flashed for a bit, nothing else, I saw you were about to faint, so I wanted to pull you a bit."
No matter how Zhou Wen looked at it, it didn't seem too likely, but he was already accustomed with not maintaining far too much curiosity, and he used strength to step on the floorboards, "Heh, I might really be tired, if I don't sleep until the afternoon tomorrow, I will not get up!"
Feng Cheng followed at his back in agreement.
The two walked out of the police department side by side.
Except, Feng Cheng's palm was holding something.
「Special Forces C-level Member 0132: Confirmed to be a level III hazard, already processed in emergency, requesting reinforcements. 」
After a while, another string of words were sent out, and the entire time, Feng Cheng whose hand was put in the pockets, holding something, not reaching out, chatted naturally with Zhou Wen.
「Special Forces C-level Member 0132: People with close contact at 56, people with indirect contact at 1200, those with extremely close contact at 2, need to briefly investigate, also requesting a B-level member to participate in this escort, for now, the hazard has been temporarily taken in. 」
