It only took more than half an hour for Jiang Yue to arrive at the operations bureau.
On the way here just now, although he noticed that the strange creatures lurking in the dark places in Star City were very active, he didn't take it seriously at the time.
I think this should be normal, after all, weird creatures always become active at night.
After hearing the sudden news from Luo Teng, Jiang Yue realized in a daze that he might have overlooked something in his hurry to get on his way.
These weird creatures are indeed a little overactive.
It turns out that they had already planned something?
In the past, it was not uncommon for strange creatures to attack humans late at night. However, most of the time, the targets of these strange creatures' attacks were humans who were alone or who came out to look for food late at night.
Occasionally, there will be attacks on humans in the building, but this is not the norm.
But now, hearing Luo Teng say this, it is obvious that this is not an isolated case, but a large-scale outbreak.
Jiang Yue quickly read through the information coming from various places.
The kangaroo boss was obviously a little unhappy with Luo Teng coming to disturb him: "Luo Bureau, if I remember correctly, Xiao Jiang is not from your operations bureau, right?"
Luo Teng was stunned: "It is true that Xiao Jiang has not joined the Action Bureau. This is because our Action Bureau is not blessed enough."
"Haha, I'm not interested in whether you are blessed or not. However, since Xiao Jiang is not from the Action Bureau, you can't always point your fingers at him for all your bad things, right? He doesn't have the obligation to wipe your butts every day, right?"
this……
Luo Teng was a little confused. What did Mr. Kangaroo mean? Was she aggrieved for Jiang Yueming?
What she said is not unreasonable.
But this kind of truth is indeed a bit hurtful.
Moreover, Luo Teng felt that given the relationship between the Action Bureau and Jiang Yue, it seemed that it was not the kangaroo boss’s turn to say such a thing, right?
Don’t you understand the principle of estrangement and indifference?
Of course, even if Luo Teng thought so, it would be hard to refute.
After all, now we need a kangaroo boss. This weird boss is a docile donkey and needs to be coaxed.
"What Mr. Kangaroo said is that our Operations Bureau has always felt guilty about Xiao Jiang."
"You say you feel guilty, but in fact you still have to do things endlessly, right?" the kangaroo boss said coldly.
Luo Teng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, this is a problem of our operations bureau."
Jiang Yue said with a smile: "It's rare for Mr. Kangaroo to care about me so much, but I can't blame the Operations Bureau for this. The current situation in Star City is that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer losses. I would like to be alone, but the situation does not allow it."
"Why is it not allowed? With your strength, you can definitely escape from Star City. If you go to the capital, I don't know how many people will win over you. Why bother getting involved in this quagmire?"
Jiang Yue and Luo Teng were both quite surprised. Hearing the kangaroo boss's tone, he really put himself in Jiang Yue's shoes, and there was a hint of sincerity and concern in his words.
"If you can just leave, who wouldn't know how to leave? Everyone has a reason to stay. When Mr. Kangaroo joined that organization and stayed in Star City, didn't he also have your reason?"
The kangaroo boss was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Is that what you said last time? Is there anything you must protect in Star City?"
"Yes, Star City is my home. I don't want my family to return to Star City one day and there will be only ruins and monsters running rampant. I have to make some efforts to try my best to let them find the way home when they want to go home."
When Jiang Yue said this, he said in a sincere tone: "My efforts alone are definitely not enough, so I beg Mr. Kangaroo to try his best."
The kangaroo boss had a stiff expression, and after a long moment, he nodded indifferently.
Without saying anything else, he waved his hand and walked towards the laboratory.
Walking to the door of the laboratory, just before closing the door, the kangaroo boss stopped but did not look back.
"Boy, don't let the monster kill you before I figure out a way!"
After saying that, the kangaroo boss slammed the laboratory door tightly.
Jiang Yue and Luo Teng were left looking at each other.
After being stunned for a while, Luo Teng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, although this kangaroo boss has a weird temper, she seems to really care about you."
"Luo Ju, why do you sound sour to me when you say this?"
Luo Teng let out a long sigh and said, "It's not sour, just a little emotional. I can't even remember how long it has been since no one cared about me so much."
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Maybe, Luo Ju, you should consider starting a family."
Starting a family?
A hint of sadness flashed in Luo Teng's eyes. It was obvious that the word home touched a sensitive part deep in his heart.
He had a family, a harmonious family, and countless beautiful and sweet memories.
However, everything came to an abrupt end at that nightmare moment.
All his closest and dearest family members died tragically at the hands of the evil monster overnight.
Since then, the softest part of Luo Teng's heart seemed to have been dug out and sealed.
From then on, he became a workaholic, a tool man who only saw work, and lived like a fighting machine without emotions.
This was also Jiang Yue's first impression when he first met him. His poker face seemed to be without any emotion.
In fact, it is not that Luo Teng has no emotions, but that he has become accustomed to being emotionless.
Emotion is like a whip. Whenever he feels something, the whip will beat him mercilessly and punish him.
So, starting a family?
Luo Teng shook his head and said bitterly: "Xiao Jiang, let's talk about business."
…
More and more intelligence continues to flow into the Operations Directorate.
In just two or three hours, the number of strange incidents in various places has skyrocketed crazily, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that all the strange creatures have been severely stimulated and become extremely active this night.
"Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"
"There is no doubt that this is the revenge of the Weird Tree." Jiang Yue's words were not just random words, but carefully considered.
"It seems that the Weird Tree's control over the weird creatures in Star City is much stronger than we imagined? Since it has controlled such a large number of weird creatures, why is it still willing to lie dormant and not attack Star City?"
"This is not necessarily controlled by the weird tree. Maybe it is just adding fuel to the fire? If it really controls all the weird creatures in the entire Star City, there is no reason why it can still be so calm. Is it fully capable of declaring war with humans on the surface?
"
"That's true, humans can't be monolithic, and weird creatures certainly can't do it either."
"Luo Ju, to a certain extent, this is not all bad. At least it proves that what we did during the day still had an impact on the weird tree. At least it angered it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a fuss tonight.
Big noise. Maybe, it is really scary."
"It is inevitable to be wary. The combat effectiveness of the core of humanity has not been reduced too much. The general structure of official power is still there, and the military has not moved at all."
"Another point is that after all, they are not as familiar with the earth's surface as humans. They have been dormant for an entire civilization era. Even if they survive until now, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced and they will not be able to return to their peak state for a while. They are also afraid of the earth's surface.
of."
Luo Teng nodded and said: "It's just that a night like this is definitely a huge test for human survivors."
Jiang Yuedao: "The test is necessary. Those who are still surviving now have enough psychological preparation for the strange world. They must also know that this kind of test is inevitable. Fear and fear are useless, they can only face it."
Luo Teng sighed: "That's what I say, but the vast majority of survivors are still no match for the strange creatures."
"We haven't experienced the cost of this kind of growth early on, but we will have to experience it later. How many people do we need if the action bureau is full? How many leaks can we plug if we send them all out?"
"The Operations Bureau currently has a lot of manpower, but if we say it is enough, it will never be enough. I have also sent some troops out, but in the current situation, I am afraid those troops cannot change the general situation."
The Operations Bureau has indeed expanded its manpower, but if people keep filling this hole, no matter how many lives are lost, it may not be enough.
Therefore, Luo Teng would not have a brainstorm.
After all, you still have to stay calm and rational, and tighten your own fence first before you are qualified to consider more things.
"By the way, Xiao Jiang, isn't Miss Han coming with you?" Luo Teng suddenly asked.
Jiang Yue's expression changed: "Didn't she return to Daozi Lane Villa?"
Luo Teng shook his head blankly: "Before you came, Old Han asked me. I didn't know where you were going. Judging from Old Han's tone, he probably had never seen Han Jingjing and thought she was with you."
"Then she should still be at Yangfan Middle School." Jiang Yue frowned.
He suddenly couldn't sit still.
There has been a lot of activity in Yangfan Middle School recently. With a population of two to three hundred, it can be considered a small survivor base.
If there is a big commotion caused by strange creatures, Yangfan Middle School will be a very conspicuous target.
"Luo Ju, it seems I have to go out for a while."
"Are you going to Yangfan Middle School?" Seeing Jiang Yue's attitude, Luo Teng knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Although there are many awakened students in Yangfan Middle School, they are not particularly outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness. I am indeed a little worried."
"Should we arrange a helicopter?"
"No, it's not safe at night. I'll go there by myself." Jiang Yue refused to be transported by helicopter.
"Xiao Jiang, at this time, you have to travel such a long distance. I'm a little worried."
The demons are dancing wildly tonight, and all the strange creatures may be active.
Wandering around on the street at this time, wouldn’t it mean delivering food to your door?
Even Jiang Yue and Luo Teng were very worried.
"I have a way. Normal evil monsters may not dare to provoke me. Those who dare to provoke me may not be able to catch up with me. Don't worry."
Jiang Yue thought of Yangfan Middle School and became anxious for a moment. After a few hasty explanations with Bureau Luo, he quickly set off into the turbulent night.
Indeed, as the intelligence said, strange creatures were indeed having a carnival on the streets of Star City.
Every time Jiang Yue walked, he would encounter a large number of strange creatures, gathering wildly in the streets and sweeping the streets and alleys.
The survivors in various buildings are in unspeakable misery, and nightmares are playing out in every block and every corner.
Jiang Yue naturally encountered many evil monsters without eyes who came to cause trouble, but Jiang Yue was not polite at all and directly killed them with thunderous means.
The most similar thing between weird creatures and humans is that they bully the weak and fear the strong.
After each of the weird creatures suffered losses at Jiang Yue's hands, the other weird creatures became more honest and actively avoided Jiang Yue, not daring to confront him.
This actually greatly improved Jiang Yue's driving speed.
…
Over at Yangfan Middle School, the atmosphere has not been affected much since Jiang Yue left.
Although Han Jingjing was a little unhappy, she got over it after being coaxed by Zhong Leyi with a few words. After all, she was not that kind of entangled girl.
Even if she is still angry in her heart, she will not keep a straight face all day long. This is not in line with her persona of a wealthy lady.
She also kept giving herself a hard time in her heart, and as long as Jiang Yue came back before dark, she would forgive her.
But until it was almost dark, Jiang Yue was still nowhere to be seen.
This made Han Jingjing somewhat annoyed.
Even Tong Feifei didn't dare to make fun of Han Jingjing again.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and night was about to fall, the teams sent out to collect supplies all returned to the school one after another.
All kinds of farm tools, seeds, fertilizers, etc. were collected in a complete manner. In addition, there were many useful materials. It was definitely a huge harvest.
Therefore, after a collective decision, we will hold a small celebration party tonight.
Celebrate the success of each action team's first outing to collect supplies.
A good start filled Yangfan Middle School with hope.
Under this situation, Han Jingjing couldn't show off her personal mood, so she could only have fun with everyone.
But the loss deep in my heart became heavier as the night deepened.
She couldn't help but think about it.
Jiang Yue follows that vixen Lin Yifei, where will he go at night?
Will that little goblin Lin Yifei be crazy about seducing Jiang Yue?
That guy Jiang Yue, can he stand the test?
At the celebration banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and smiled happily, except Han Jingjing, who smiled a little reluctantly and seemed a little worried.
And Tong Feifei seemed to be a little restless.
"Jingjing, Xiaozhong, I suddenly have a bad feeling." Han Jingjing glanced at the deep night outside the window and whispered.
While everyone was having fun, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he lowered his voice.
"What?" Zhong Leyi asked worriedly, "Is there another evil monster about to invade? It finally stopped for a day or two."
"I don't know, I just suddenly have a strong premonition that something terrible is going to happen tonight!"
Tong Feifei said, his mind became more and more restless, and he stood up from the chair.
He said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me, the celebration banquet is over. All action teams will not rest tonight and cheer up! All defense zones must not have a blind spot for one second. Once there is any trouble, they must be the first to do so.
Time to blow the whistle!"
Originally, these action teams were rotated in shifts. At least every team member was guaranteed to have five or six hours of rest.
And his order was equivalent to depriving all team members of their right to rest.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the food in their mouths immediately lost its flavor.
"It's not that I want to trouble everyone, I have a very bad premonition. Tonight, we may have to experience a moment more terrifying than the giant invasion. I hope that even if the worst moment comes, at least we will be prepared.
Instead of being caught off guard like last time!"
