After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bai began to prepare for his departure to City A in the afternoon.
He found some money in the room, put it in his pocket, and then went out to buy things.
The mirror that Xiao Pu gave to Zhou Bai was a folding type, with a simple shape and a suitable size, but it was a bit strange that he would always take the mirror out to look at it from time to time.
In order to prevent his future movements from being too abrupt, the first thing Zhou Bai did after going out was to buy a pocket watch with a mirror.
And I also specially selected one that had no pattern on the outside and could be polished brightly.
After buying the pocket watch, he went into a clothing store and bought himself several sets of clothes.
Long pants, long sleeves, gloves, masks, caps, scarves...
Zhou Bai follows two principles when choosing clothes.
One is to try to look low-key, and the other is to try not to expose your skin to the air.
After buying clothes and some daily necessities, he still had a little money left in his pocket, so he bought some bread and then returned to the house where he now lives with a bag full of things.
After returning home and eating lunch, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Bai picked up his luggage, took the bus, and arrived in front of the office building where the duty team was located.
As soon as he got off the car, Zhou Bai saw a fat man from a distance, holding a large suitcase in each hand and carrying a large backpack behind him, walking towards him.
Fatty Peng also noticed Zhou Bai who had just stepped off the bus, screamed, and rushed over with two suitcases in hand.
"Ah! Captain! It's really you! I feel like I'm dreaming!"
Zhou Bai felt a large wall of flesh rushing towards him.
Moreover, it hit him with a "bang", and then he hugged him tightly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuah... Captain, I finally look forward to your return.
Do you know how miserable I have been during this period of your absence?"
Zhou Bai couldn't push him away too hard, so he could only gently pat his back and persuade him for a while before he let go.
Zhou Bai sighed, and when he saw the tears still hanging on Fatty Peng's face, he felt even more helpless.
How come such a big fat person still loves to cry?
Headache.
"Let's go, let's go and report first."
Fatty Peng nodded vigorously.
Wiping the tears on his face with his sleeve, he pulled two large boxes of luggage and followed Zhou Bai into the office building ahead.
The two of them were walking in the corridor, and before they entered the office, they heard the sound of quarreling coming from inside.
"Qifa, you have to remember that you are just a small team member.
I'll give you a task, just listen carefully.
It’s not your turn to ask so many questions.”
Zhou Bai frowned when he heard the name "Qifa".
Isn't this another teammate of his?
Fatty Peng, who was following him, heard the sound coming from the office and nervously came over and held Zhou Bai's arm.
"It's over, it's over, that madman is going to start again."
Zhou Bai looked at Fatty Peng in confusion, and then heard a cry of pain coming from the office in front of him.
"Qifa, you are sick.
It hurts... it hurts...
Let go, let go."
When Zhou Bai took Fatty Peng into the office, he saw a tough guy wearing overalls, grabbing his hand and bending over in pain.
Opposite him, stood a young man with a thin face and sharp eyes.
Zhou Bai recognized the tough guy wearing overalls.
His name is Lu Shi.
In Patient No. 0139's memory, Zhou Bai was the captain, and Lu Shi was the deputy captain at that time.
If I remember correctly, I seem to have never had a good relationship with this vice-captain.
After Zhou Bai looked at Lu Shi, his eyes fell on the sharp-eyed young man.
At this time, Fatty Peng came close to Zhou Bai's ear, secretly pointed at the young man, and whispered to Zhou Bai.
"That person is Qi Fa."
Zhou Bai nodded slightly.
Then he ignored Lu Shi, walked directly to Qi Fa, and stretched out his hand to him.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Bai. From today on, we are teammates."
When Qi Fa saw the two people coming in, neither of them paid any attention to the injured Lu Shi, and the expression on his face softened a little.
But he still looked Zhou Bai up and down, and turned away coldly, with no intention of shaking hands with Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai didn't pay much attention and retracted his outstretched hand with a smile.
But Fatty Peng gave up and rushed over with his fists waving.
"Crazy Qi, even if you bully me, if you dare to bully the captain, I will fight with you."
Zhou Bai didn't want to start a conflict within the team before setting off, so he quickly grabbed Fatty Peng.
At this time, they suddenly heard Lu Shi laughing from the side.
"Oh, Peng Kuan, you must be stupid.
Have you forgotten who is the captain now?"
Lu Shi looked like a villain who had succeeded.
Fatty Peng was held down by Zhou Bai. Hearing Lu Shi's ridicule, he could only mutter secretly.
"You say it is, but I don't recognize it in my heart anyway."
Naturally, Lu Shi didn't hear what Fatty Peng said.
He bared his teeth to endure the pain in his hand and threw a map on the table in front of them.
"This is a map of city a.
The distress signal was sent out four times in total, and they are all marked on the map. You can see for yourself."
When Qi Fa heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at the map that fell on the ground.
But Zhou Bai was one step ahead of him and picked up the map that fell on the ground.
Fatty Peng immediately came closer and looked at the map with Zhou Bai.
On the contrary, Qi Fa felt a little awkward. He wanted to see the map but was too embarrassed to get close.
In the end, Zhou Bai waved to him, and he came closer with a cold face.
"The place where the first distress call was sent was the cemetery.
Then there are amusement parks and movie theaters.
The last time he was seen was here, in a supermarket?"
The three of them looked at this unstructured action trajectory with puzzled expressions.
"There's only so much information we can provide.
Just pack up and get ready to go."
Lu Shi almost had the words "please fend for yourself" written on his face.
Zhou Bai folded the map, put it in his pocket, and then prepared to take the two of them out together.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a panicked voice coming from outside the door.
"Captain Lu, Captain Lu, it's not good.
The leader is here.
The three of them haven't set off yet, right?"
Lu Shi glanced at the panicked man impatiently.
"What kind of leader?
Is there any need to be so panicked?"
The person who ran in breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Bai and the three of them still standing in the office.
"so far so good.
It’s good that you haven’t left yet.
The leader named these three people who are going to City A."
