Under the hazy night, looking around, you can see the undulating water waves on the river shining with silver light.
The water waves rushed towards the shore, and the flowers, plants and trees on the shore rustled in the breeze.
A burst of dense footsteps came from a distance, and the leading investigator heard painful wailing in front of him. He frowned, and then raised his hand to signal his colleagues behind him to slow down.
Alert to an ambush, the investigators slowly moved forward. Then, they saw a shocking scene. Everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened wide.
There were many people in black clothes lying on the grass by the river bank, and these people's bodies were more or less exuding some psychic energy fluctuations.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the men in black lying on the ground are injured, and the wailing sounds from their mouths are not fake.
According to the information provided by the informant, these people were the law elements who came to pick up the goods.
Originally, these investigators who came from another place thought that they would have a fight with the criminals who were picking up the goods, but they didn't expect what they would look like when they arrived at the scene. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"what happened?"
"These people seem to be injured. Were they attacked by someone?"
"The goods won't be snatched away by others, right?"
"There is still a transport ship docked on the shore. I will go up and take a look later to find out whether the goods have been robbed."
Some investigators discussed in low voices, and then the leading investigator gave an order. Everyone swarmed forward and handcuffed all the injured criminals lying on the ground.
The injured criminal had no strength to resist at all, so he was handcuffed by the investigators and then pulled up from the ground.
"What happened? Why are you all injured and lying on the ground?" The leading investigator asked looking at a criminal who had pretended to be dead before and had not suffered many injuries.
"..." The criminal who was questioned remained silent and did not intend to answer the questions asked by the leading investigator.
"Hmph..." A cold snort came from the mouth of the leading investigator. He exuded a powerful aura and enveloped the criminals.
The strong pressure fell on him, which shocked the criminal. In fear, he immediately opened his mouth and honestly explained what had just happened.
"We didn't know what happened. We were planning to receive the goods, but suddenly many huge black vines appeared in the grass, surrounded us and attacked us..."
The leading investigator frowned after listening to the criminals' account. According to the other party's statement, no one of these criminals showed up after they were attacked by black vines.
The black vines lost their color and turned into limp vines piled on the ground at the scene until the investigators arrived.
Just when the leading investigator was puzzled after listening to the criminals' story, Luo Song, who participated in the operation, came to a pile of limp vines.
He knelt down and looked at the previously alienated vines in front of him, and the things he had encountered before immediately came to mind.
"Is it the fault of that strange kid?"
Luo Song, who had come into contact with the Seven-Colored Flower in human form, looked at the vines at the scene and naturally thought of the Seven-Colored Flower.
Subsequently, investigators found many contraband items from the ship docked on the shore.
After learning that there were originally crew members on the ship, but now they were no longer there, the leading investigator immediately arranged for people to go to the river to look for the escaped crew members.
After a search, the escaped crew members were not found, so the investigators who came to carry out the arrest mission this time gathered their team and returned to the station.
…………
A group of people swam quickly in the cold river. Although they swam a long distance, they could still vaguely hear the sounds of fighting in the distance.
In order not to be caught, the escaping crew members swam with all their strength.
When the captain got ashore, he waited for his crew to get ashore. After everyone got ashore, everyone fled to a safer place without looking back.
It was precisely because of the captain's decisive actions that these people were prevented from being caught by investigators who arrived later.
"Captain, I'm so cold!" The soaked crew member was blown away by the wind and was so cold that his teeth kept chattering. He shouted to the captain who was running ahead.
The same situation happened to other crew members. Everyone really couldn't stand the cold now. After all, they had been soaking in the cold river water for a while, and now the wind started to blow. Even if they were stronger than ordinary people, they couldn't withstand this.
's encounter.
"Everyone, please hold on, we are not completely out of danger yet." The experienced captain did not dare to take it lightly, explained to the cold crew members, and then continued to escape far away.
Although they were cold and shivering due to the wind, the crew members also knew that what the captain said was right. If they stopped, they would lose the chance to escape.
So the crew gritted their teeth and insisted on following the captain and continuing to escape.
Because the meeting place is very close to the wilderness where strange beasts are infested, the further you run away, the better your chances of avoiding danger.
Of course, after entering the wilderness, alien beasts are also quite dangerous, but for these fleeing crew members, the danger of alien beasts is unknown, and the danger that may befall them at any time is now.
After trying their best to escape, the group entered the wilderness for a long distance.
Arriving at this place, it can be said that we are temporarily out of danger.
It was quiet in the wilderness. Looking around, looking at the lush grass, it seemed that scary beasts were jumping out of the grass at any time.
Escaping the danger that appeared on the river bank, a group of crew members had just relaxed when they suddenly heard a burst of beast roars in the distance. Their worries immediately rose again.
The experienced captain spoke to reassure his crew, "Don't panic, everyone, it's not far from the city and there won't be any powerful beasts.
Even if a strange beast appears, with so many of us, it will be more than enough to deal with it."
Hearing what the captain said, the nervous crew immediately relaxed a lot.
"I'll find a place to make a fire to dry my clothes." The captain, who was soaked and a little cold, said to the crew, and then immediately ran to the hill in the distance.
There may be a cave in the hill ahead. If you can find it, you can go to the cave to stay warm and dry your soaked clothes.
The crew saw the captain running towards the hill in the distance, and they followed him immediately.
The bad luck they encountered earlier made everyone feel depressed.
Now my luck finally improved. When I arrived at the foot of the hill, I quickly discovered the cave.
The captain and his crew collected some dry wood and resin from the surroundings, and then entered the cave.
The captain, who likes to smoke, carries a lighter with him. Because it is waterproof, the lighter did not become useless when he jumped into the water just now.
With a bang, the lighter lit up a comforting orange flame.
There were pairs of eyes staring at the orange fire in the dim cave. Everyone wanted to get closer to it and draw warmth from it.
Put the lighter close to the pile of wood, the flame ignites the branches, and the dry wood on top is also ignited.
After a while, two bonfires were raised in the cave. The group of people divided into two groups and sat in front of the bonfires to dry their clothes.
The heat wave hit the body, which warmed the cold body a lot, and everyone felt much better.
Although the people who escaped in this group are in a much better mood, now that they think about what happened just now, they feel frightened and at the same time find it very difficult to accept.
This transportation of goods can be said to have gone through twists and turns, and after a lot of hard work, the goods finally arrived at the destination.
As a result, at the final moment, such a problem unexpectedly occurred. This was an unforgettable blow to everyone involved in transporting the goods.
"Okay, don't despair, everyone, we managed to escape." The captain encouraged his crew.
"Yes! At least we managed to escape. Thinking about those guys, I'm afraid they are all dead now."
"As soon as I saw the strange movement on the shore, I knew something was wrong."
"Fortunately, the captain reacted quickly enough and asked us to jump into the river and escape. Otherwise, we might have suffered the same fate as those on the shore."
The crew members were sitting around the campfire, talking to each other, with happy expressions on their faces. After all, the scene they just saw was too shocking.
"Captain, how are we going to leave this city next?" One of the crew members asked. The place where they are now is not completely out of the jurisdiction of the Rongcheng Superpower Management Bureau, and they are a little worried that the investigators will chase them.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, just follow my arrangements from now on." The experienced captain said with a smile. Although he didn't want to laugh at this time, he had to smile in order to reassure the frightened crew.
Seeing the confident captain, the crew members felt very relieved, and their low morale gradually recovered.
It took some time to dry the soaked clothes. After putting them on, his body was completely warm. At this time, the captain stood up and walked out of the cave. Of course, he did not forget to explain what he was going to do.
.
"I'll go out and make a call to the boss. You can continue to warm yourself by the fire and don't run around."
"Yes." The crew members who had just experienced an accident would not dare to run around! Now if there is no special situation, they are unwilling to leave the warm cave.
After the captain came out of the cave, he walked some distance ahead. He came to a place with many low shrubs, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
This special mobile phone is also waterproof, and the signal is extremely strong. Even if there is no fierce fighting around here, the mobile phone can still release signals through some special components and connect to the base station very far away, so that it can make calls.
Make a call.
After the captain took out his mobile phone, he immediately opened the call history and dialed a number.
The outgoing call was answered shortly after, and a younger voice came from the other side.
"It's so late. Call me. Calculate the time. You've arrived. Have you delivered the goods to the other party safely and are you on your way back now?"
The captain was silent for a few seconds, and said in a serious tone to the young man on the other side of the phone, "After we arrived at the place, when we were about to hand over the cargo, something unexpected happened."
"Huh?" The young man lying on the big bed in the five-star hotel with his back against the bedside suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and then asked, "Tell me specifically what happened?"
"After we docked, we were originally going to hand over the goods, but then there was a noise in the surrounding grass. I saw that the situation was not good, so I prepared to leave with the goods temporarily.
As a result, many black vines suddenly appeared in the grass and entangled our ship..." The captain carefully told the young man on the other side of the phone what he had encountered before.
"..." The young man who was originally lying on the bed with his back against the head of the bed had already gotten off the bed.
He stepped on his slippers and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. His expression was very solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was staring at the beach in front of him, with thoughts running rapidly in his mind.
"This time it has nothing to do with our transportation personnel. If this happens, there is a high probability that the news is leaked." The captain said, explaining the responsibility for the failure of this delivery.
The young man who was silent and didn't speak thought for half a minute and said, "Don't worry, if this happens, the responsibility will naturally not be on you..."
"Now we have found a cave to hide in the wilderness. Tomorrow morning I will take everyone out of Rongcheng. I need you to arrange for someone to join us. Otherwise, we will not be able to leave safely." The captain asked for support.
"Okay, I will make arrangements later, and I will send you the information of the person you are contacting in an hour." The young man replied.
After the captain got what he wanted, he felt a lot more relaxed. After a few more chats, the two of them hung up the phone when they had nothing else to say.
The young man with a solemn expression stared at the lively beach in the distance. His fists were clenched tightly and his teeth were chattering.
"Damn it, it has failed again. This is the first time. I promised him last time that he will definitely deliver the goods successfully this time. Now that it has failed again, he doesn't know how furious he will be."
The young man's head hurt when he thought about the scene where the partner of the organization was angry.
Although the people under the other party are far less powerful than the organization, the other party's business is extensive and very useful to the organization.
It was precisely because the other party had the value to use him that he couldn't attack that guy with a bad temper easily. Otherwise, with the young man's temper, if the other party dared to point at his head and yell, he would have been killed long ago.
