Pollution throughout the territory - #234 - Chapter 231 Hunting the Apostles: [Rusted Paint Door] and [Fortune Cookies]

When the meeting ended, it was already three o’clock in the morning.

In the end, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and actually because there would be no more variables in their combat power, the action time was 9pm on October 19th.

That is tonight.

[Rusted Paint Door – Replica (Renovation)] has been shipped. When Liu Fusheng returns home from get off work tonight, he will be teleported to the battlefield that the Foundation has prepared. No one can leave there alive, including… themselves.

When the meeting ended, everyone else had already left, but the four A-level personnel were still sitting in their seats.

Time passed slowly, and perhaps out of unwillingness to break the final peace, none of the four people spoke first.

With no outsiders present, Xiao Zheng’s face was no longer as energetic as before, showing deep fatigue.

“I haven’t been back to the headquarters for two years.” He said suddenly.

Hearing this, the other three people sighed.

“I’ve had it for more than a year,” said the skinny Yi Zhiyu.

“Nine months.”

Cang Lan, whose whole body was hidden under her robe, said with a clear voice, like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Liang Wan only smiled bitterly and did not participate in this topic.

Of course she understood what the three of them meant by these words. As A-level investigators of the Foundation, they not only had super high authority, but also represented extremely strong combat effectiveness. Each of them was an important trump card for the Foundation to fight against pollution. Very valuable.

There is a tacit understanding within the foundation that no one wants to mention. Just like an old dog will not die at home. If a B-level or A-level investigator does not return to the headquarters for a long time but still maintains contact with the foundation, he will still be in contact with the foundation. If you are accepting a task, then the investigator himself has probably been contaminated.

The senior management obviously knew about this situation, but still chose to acquiesce. It is difficult to say whether this is tenderness, or using their belief in human beings to squeeze out the last value.

Generally, if a C-class or D-class dares to do this, they are probably already on the defection list.

In the past, the hunting of apostles was done by urgently dispatching nearby investigators, because every discovery meant huge riots and the death of countless civilians. The Foundation had to race against time to prevent the contamination from continuing to spread. But this time it’s different.

Liu Fusheng’s identity as apostle was reported by Xia Ren, who was highly suspected of being an apostle of the abyss. Moreover, Liu Fusheng did not belong to the category with a huge range of harm, so the foundation had enough time to prepare. In order to avoid more losses, it was the first to accept it. The ones responsible for this task are these contaminated A-level investigators.

As for Liang Wan herself, although she is A-level, she is a bit special. In this mission, she was not the main force in the battle, so she was able to act casually in the meeting just now.

“Have you all gone back to your own homes to see it?”

Xiao Zheng smiled and said: “I joined the foundation ten years ago. Before that, I had a wife and children. I did not choose to tell them about the pollution. When I received the mission some time ago, I dropped by and didn’t dare to go back. I got closer and only took a few glances from a distance. My daughter is already in high school and is as beautiful as her mother.”

When he said this, a happy smile filled his face subconsciously, but then he became a little disappointed: “In ten years, my daughter probably forgot what her father looked like, but I don’t regret my original decision. Pollution is too dangerous.” Yes, I have seen many tragedies, it is enough for us to bear them.”

“I’m an orphan.”

Yi Zhiyu shrugged and pulled his eyelids, making it impossible to tell his mood at the moment: “I have been wandering in Nanzhou since I can remember.”

“The ghost killed my whole family in front of me.”

Canglan said lightly, as if he was just describing a trivial matter.

Unlike Xia Ren, within the Foundation, investigators usually still refer to infected bodies as “ghosts.”

Xiao Zheng was a little embarrassed. He originally just wanted to relax the atmosphere, but he didn’t expect that he would not open any pot.

Fortunately, Liang Wan seemed to have remembered something and said, “During the meeting just now, Liu Fusheng’s abilities were not mentioned, right?” She had not listened carefully just now.

Canglan said: “Not really.”

Yi Zhiyu said: “This apostle has not caused any commotion in public, so there is no information in this regard. His ability can only be known in the battle at night.”

Xiao Zheng saw some clues and said, “You ask, do you know more information?”

Liang Wan recalled what Xia Ren said when he drove her to the airport before Jianghe City, and said, “I have a friend with whom Liu Fusheng had… a mutual discussion.”

“Discussion? With an apostle?”

As soon as these words came out, even Cang Lan, who was under the robe, couldn’t help but feel a little surprised in his tone.

This is like someone who said that his friend had a fight with an aircraft carrier. It really challenges human imagination.

Xiao Zheng looked at Liang Wan with a somewhat strange look and said, “Is this friend you are talking about yourself?”

“How can it be.”

Liang Wan explained: “The person who told me the news is the guy who revealed Liu Fusheng’s identity as an apostle to the foundation.”

“That mysterious man?”

Because everything about Xia Ren is handled by doctors and a few people, and this information is top secret, even A-level investigators don’t know.

Yi Zhiyu thought for a while and thought of Liu Fusheng’s hometown and the city where Liang Wan went before. Then he suddenly realized and said: “He is in Mu…”

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and stopped continuing.

The foundation is not impregnable. It is best not to know this kind of information that they should not know. Even if they guess it, it will rot in their stomachs.

“alright.”

Xiao Zheng tapped his finger on the table and said, “Liang Wan, can you tell me more about Liu Fusheng’s abilities?”

“Um.”

Nodding, Liang Wan recalled and said: “My friend only sparred with him for a short time. Liu Fusheng has a moody personality. When fighting, he can stretch out another palm from his palm, and there seems to be still something in his body. There is another personality that I have quarreled with.”

Several people fell silent, thinking about this sentence.

Canglan quickly said: “If you are simply changing your body to increase the attack distance, then you only need to extend your arms. Add in the symptoms that are suspected of mental classification, and if you put them on the apostle, I think he has two body.”

This guess is so bold that it cannot be carefully scrutinized, but the experience and intuition of the A-level investigator cannot be ignored.

“I think it’s possible.”

Xiao Zheng agreed.

“correct.”

Liang Wan continued: “Liu Fusheng likes to kill people randomly, and everyone he kills will become an infected body. These infected bodies seem to be no different from other similar bodies. However, once asked for any information about Liu Fusheng himself, they will quickly Self-disintegration. In addition to the two bodies, he may also have abilities similar to curses or poisons. That’s all I know.”

“If that’s the case…”

Xiao Zheng glanced at Yi Zhiyu and said, “Don’t do anything tonight, avoid direct physical contact with him, let us do it first.”

The latter nodded.

…

…

Sunrise and moonset, afternoon.

The location has been selected, and the [Rusty Paint Door-Replica (Renovation)] has been anchored to it to ensure that the transmission can proceed smoothly. Traps, weapons, evacuation of surrounding people, and road blockade have also been planned long ago. Everything is in place. Proceeding in an orderly manner.

Just waiting for tonight.

It’s still the same office, everyone is exchanging the latest information.

The leader of the logistics force brought in a small lead box, put it on the conference table, and said, “This is a [fortune cookie-derivative] sent from the headquarters. Do you want to try it?”
