The midnight snacks prepared by the Security Office were very rich, including fried juicy steaks, roasted golden and tender whole chickens, and sausages cut into large slices. In addition, there were two bowls of small wontons and several pickled side dishes.
At the special request of Gecko, several bottles of beer were prepared for each of them.
Because beer has a short shelf life, beer has become more scarce than liquor after the disaster.
Most of the drunkards in the satellite city can only survive on the inferior liquor brought back by the pioneering team or produced in small workshops. However, fortunately, Qinggang City already has a complete beer and liquor production line, and now it has resumed work in the main city. Some good liquor can be produced, and beer has begun to be supplied to the market in large quantities, and even traded to some forces outside the city.
Of course, even so, being able to drink fresh beer in the satellite city is a luxury.
"I'm going home today."
After finishing supper, Lu Xin said to Bihu.
When his mother left, she told him that she would hold a family meeting, and Lu Xin had agreed. He felt that this meeting was very important.
Besides, he actually had something to say.
After hearing Lu Xin's proposal, Bihu's face changed slightly, and he seemed not to want Lu Xin to leave.
Lu Xin guessed that this might be because Bihu received an order from someone asking him to try to keep himself in the guard hall.
But facing Lu Xin's calm gaze, the gecko did not stop him, but changed the subject and said with a smile: "Go back if you want."
"You have made such a great contribution this time, can you still tie us up here?"
"How about I go back with you?"
While saying this, he laughed happily and said: "I wanted to visit your house last time."
"This..."
After hearing this, Lu Xin looked at the gecko helplessly and said seriously: "What's wrong with being alive?"
"What?"
The gecko was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his stiff expression, Lu Xin smiled apologetically: "I was just joking with you..."
"Haha..."
Gecko laughed twice to cope with it, and then said to Lu Xin seriously: "Don't make such jokes in the future, it's quite scary."
"You know, I'm the most serious person and never joke with people."
"..."
"Okay."
Lu Xin nodded, and then said: "But I won't invite you to my home this time. You can take over my shift here for a while. If there is anything, you can call me. I shouldn't need too much time to rush back to replace you."
"In that case..."
Gecko listened and nodded, saying: "Okay, go ahead."
...
...
Lu Xin packed up his things and walked out of the security office.
He had planned to take the subway, but thinking that it was so late now, the subway must have stopped operating long ago. In addition, seeing that the jeep that brought him and Gecko was still parked at the door, he walked out, opened the door and got in.
After his sister sat next to him, he said to the driver in the driver's seat: "Take me to the Moon Terrace."
The driver was a man who looked taciturn, about 40 years old. After completing the task last time, he also picked up Gecko and Lu Xin. It can be seen that his duty should be to serve the ability users at such critical times.
The driver didn't say much, just nodded and started the engine.
After the jeep started to move, Lu Xin found that several police officers hurried out of the guard hall. One of them was the staff member wearing thick protective clothing. They all looked at the jeep anxiously, but in the end they didn't stop.
As the jeep entered the next intersection, several car lights soon lit up behind it.
It was late at night, close to dawn, and because there had just been such a big chaos in the city, there were very few cars on the road.
So those cars were unusually conspicuous.
Whether they tried to cover up or not, they could be seen at a glance that they were following him.
Even in the depths of the dark buildings around him, there always seemed to be a few pairs of eyes looking at him.
…
…
Lu Xin sat quietly in the back seat, lowering his head slightly.
My sister lay down next to Lu Xin, her face against the glass window, staring at some places in the dark with wide eyes.
If someone was looking at him through a telescope or other instruments at this time, Lu Xin felt that they must not know that while they were looking at him, there was also a strange girl looking at them beside him.
He sighed slightly.
He could understand some people's curiosity and vigilance towards him at this time, but he didn't like being stared at.
Besides, he was planning to go home for a family meeting. Lu Xin didn't know to what extent these people would follow or monitor him. If they crossed the line, would it anger his father who was already in a bad mood?
So after thinking for a while, he took out the satellite phone and dialed it.
Chen Jing picked up the phone quickly, and her voice was as capable as ever: "What's the matter?"
"The matter in Satellite City has been dealt with almost completely..."
Lu Xin pondered and said slowly: "I plan to go home now."
Chen Jing said: "Then go back. You don't have to report this to me."
Lu Xin was silent for a moment and said: "But there are many people following me. I don't like this."
"..."
Chen Jing was obviously silent for a while and said: "I understand. Let me arrange it."
…
…
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xin waited quietly in the back seat.
In the rearview mirror, the driver glanced at Lu Xin, as if he didn't expect him to solve the tracking problem in this way.
It is unknown what arrangements Chen Jing made. The cars following the jeep turned around quickly.
The feeling of being watched by a few eyes hidden in the dark and feeling a little upset has disappeared.
This makes Lu Xin believe that those who were arranged to follow him should have been withdrawn.
The satellite phone rang. After the call was connected, Chen Jing said calmly: "The people following you were not arranged by the headquarters, but I have asked them to withdraw all of them. You don't have to worry about these things for the time being. You can even... be more steady..."
"Have you never seen a woman's intestines?"
"..."
Lu Xin was about to agree, but was interrupted by Chen Jing's sudden words. He subconsciously asked: "What are you doing?"
"I'm in surgery."
Chen Jing said: "I was injured when I was attacked. Now I have time to deal with it."
"..."
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment and said: "Are you okay?"
"Nothing."
Chen Jing's tone seemed to be a little nonchalant. She said: "It's just a cut in the abdomen, which hurts the internal organs. It will be fine after suturing. I have hypnotized myself with my ability and I won't feel pain... Your matter is more important. I heard about your handling of the mental monster this time. You did a good job, but because you handled it well, you scared some people."
"But it's not just you. When we recruited Baby, Drunkard, Gecko, and even me at the beginning, they all had this reaction. We have our own rules and regulations in the Special Pollution Cleanup Department. We don't have to pay attention to these annoying things."
"..."
"Okay, you focus on the operation."
Lu Xin answered the phone and hung up.
At this time, he remembered that he was also injured. He looked down and saw that the wound had already scabbed and seemed to be healing.
He thought silently in his heart that Chen Jing was his leader, and she was in surgery...
...Should I buy some fruit and send it over?
...
...
After driving for half an hour, the jeep stopped under an old building.
Lu Xin got out of the car, walked to the driver's seat, and said to the driver: "Don't wait for me, I'll go back by myself later."
The driver nodded expressionlessly and whispered: "Got it."
Lu Xin nodded to him, turned around and walked up to the dark old building.
The moment he entered the doorway, a room on the left side of the fourth floor suddenly lit up with warm lights.
…
…
The driver drove the car silently towards the guard hall. After driving a long way, his palm holding the steering wheel suddenly trembled visibly, and his expressionless face also showed a little relaxation. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He took a headset with a slightly trembling hand and put it on his ear. Someone in the channel had already called him.
"There is an order from above to stop monitoring the individual soldier..."
"B3, did you hear that? There is an order from above to stop monitoring the individual soldier!"
"..."
"I heard it!"
The driver spoke in a hoarse voice, saying, "He was in my car just now, why did you do that?"
"It was Chen Jing from the special operations team who vouched for him."
"But... didn't they say that his current threat level has reached Class A?"
"..."
The voice in the channel was silent for a while, and then said, "This is also for your safety. The higher-ups have just received a report that during his mission to clean up the super-second-level mental monsters in Satellite City No. 2, several people who were ordered to investigate him have paid the price."
"Among them, there is a senior investigator, an A-level elite agent, and even... a capable person."
"The cause of death is unknown..."
"..."
The driver subconsciously turned his head and looked at the area where the old building was located.
After a long, long time, he suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away from the area.
