Chapter 85 Slums

 "Intern, it's me."

When Yu Zhesen entered the warehouse, he immediately identified himself aloud to prevent Chu Yuexi from ambushing him again.

Chu Yuexi walked out from behind the large coil next to the entrance, and the armor on her body slowly decomposed into light particles.

The battery life of her exoskeleton armor has reached its limit, and the performance of the trainee commissioner's armor is not as good as that of the official commissioner in all aspects.

"Is the matter resolved?"

"It's solved, but not completely solved." Yu Zhesen revealed the information about the third enemy with superpowers to her.

Chu Yuexi showed a worried expression: "There are still enemies hiding in the dark. This feeling of being watched is really uncomfortable."

"Sun Minghang now plans to lead the Gamma team to join the Beta team."

"Senior Sun is really dedicated and dedicated." Chu Yuexi admired from the bottom of her heart.

The original mission of the Gamma Team was to support the Beta Team, but now it seems that they cannot protect themselves.

"I'm here to call you back." Yu Zhesen glanced at the group of children beside him, "But you probably have something else you want to do?"

"I want to send them back." Chu Yuexi nodded.

Yu Zhesen thought for a moment: "The Return Sect's target today is Fu Zhaohai after all. Now that the sniper team has also been lost, it shouldn't be a problem for these children."

"But what if...what if."

Chu Yuexi pursed her lips, leaned close to him and whispered:

"Before I was temporarily assigned to the Gamma Team, I was on a mission in Dream Journey Park and met a little girl who lost her mother. These cult scum have no empathy at all and don't care about innocent deaths and injuries. The little girl's mother

I can't catch up, but these children in front of me are the ones I can protect."

She didn't want to regret that she gave up doing what she could because of a moment of negligence.

Chu Yuexi noticed that Yu Zhesen was a little distracted, and when she was about to ask, she heard him say: "Then let me go with you."

When Yu Zhesen was distracted, he thought of Sun Minghang's words.

A moment ago, Sun Minghang, claiming to be the leader of the Gamma Team, gave him instructions: "Go get your girlfriend back, or you can decide on your own what to do next."

This is not so much an order as it is some kind of permission.

The guy who gave him the impression of being careless when they first met seemed to have expected that Chu Yuexi would be entangled in other things.

Who among us is the superpower with the ability to predict? Yu Zhesen laughed at himself in his heart.

"It's time to go home, I'll take you home." Amid Chu Yuexi's clapping, the children lined up in two columns.

She has fully gained the trust of these children and has the unshakable authority in front of them.

"Actually, if you don't become a commissioner of the Security Bureau, you might be quite successful if you take the exam to become a kindergarten teacher." Yu Zhesen teased with a smile.

"My parents said so too." Chu Yuexi rolled her eyes at him, "Can my ability only be used to draw toys for children?"

No, as a "Sketch" with abilities belonging to the first group of "Creation", your potential should be more than this, Yu Zhesen thought.

The activation of the "Sketch" power requires both the user's painting skills and mental strength to be of high standard. He can't comment on Chu Yuexi's mental strength, but her painting ability should only be considered an amateur's, not even entry-level.

Not really.

So she could only use "sketch" to make something with simple geometric shapes.

Yu Zhesen glanced at the clouds on the horizon, looked at Chu Yuexi and hesitated to speak.

He wondered if he would be too disrespectful to her if he said to her openly at this moment, "Intern, look at the shapes of clouds, they are more imaginative than your paintings."

Shi Xin said quietly: "For you to think so is a kind of disrespect for people, especially when the other person has had a life-and-death friendship with you."

"I repent."

……

Leaving the abandoned factory and entering the edge of the old city, you can see dark concrete low-rise buildings and illegal shacks everywhere.

The air is turbid because the sewers are not properly sealed, and black sludge visible to the naked eye accumulates in the ditches.

Yu Zhesen watched all this calmly. He had long known that there were such miserable slums on the edge of the old city, because occasionally - very rare times he would go to this area to deliver one or two express deliveries.

Compared to this area, the area around Hongyu Bar and Jianghu Night Market can even be considered a paradise.

But the children are not unhappy at all, this is their home.

The old man sitting on the roadside weaving bamboo strips glanced at the children who came back in groups, smiled and showed his yellow teeth. He greeted the leading child: "Hey, little carrot, where are you going to play again?"
The children laughed and ignored the old man, and began to chase each other and fight.

"Slow down, be careful." Chu Yuexi shouted from behind.

The old man raised his head and looked at the two young men following the child, with a hint of wariness in his eyes about meeting strangers.

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi felt his gaze and responded with polite smiles.

"It's strange..." The old man shook his head. He probably felt that they didn't look like bad people, so he concentrated on the work at hand.

Yu Zhesen heard Chu Yuexi say to him next to him: "You don't seem to be surprised at all. This place is obviously incompatible with the Fuxing City."

"I haven't been to any place in Qidao City? It's not surprising that I've seen so many things. On the contrary, it's you, your reaction is too calm."

"My aunt's family used to live here, and I would stay here for half a month every summer vacation when I was a student." Chu Yuexi put her hands into the pockets of her sports coat, "After so many years, nothing has changed.

."

Yu Zhesen didn't know how to answer her words, so he could only show a surprised expression to show that he was listening.

"This is an abandoned place." She said softly, "Look, there are not even security assistance robots here. Obviously the administration is not willing to invest any funds here."

Yu Zhesen thought that based on her understanding of Chu Yuexi, she should be very disdainful of this kind of thing.

But now her tone does not sound cynical and complaining about injustice, but just a little bit sad.

“There is no need for security assistance robots here,” he said humorously. “The rogue wild dogs would rather wander around Qinglong Street, where there are bars, Internet cafes, dance halls, and shampoo shops, where they can buy cheap prosthetic parts.

There is also a craniotomy clinic for neurology.”

"There is no need...there are only children and old people left behind here."

"There are boring people like us." Yu Zhesen said, "Isn't this good? There is a life-and-death fight outside. The Returned Sect may have spent all their savings over the years to save Fu Zhaohai, but here it is still peaceful.

."

So far, the methods used by the Adventist sect include drone and missile air strikes from deep-sea motherships, strong electronic jamming, bomb train terrorist attacks, network attack virus intrusions, indiscriminate attacks by military-grade bionic robots and targeted security interceptions.

Bureau Action Team.

The defense force has been in peace for a long time and its response is quite poor. Of course, the performance of the Security Bureau is not much better.

This turmoil may be written into the textbooks of the Security Bureau's new recruit training camp like the big riot in Xingzhou City...

"Goodbye, sister!" The innocent calls of children came one after another.

The children who arrived home left the team and reluctantly said goodbye to their playmates. The marching team became smaller and smaller, and finally only the leader Xiaoluobo, Chu Yuexi, and Yu Zhesen remained.

Xiaoluobo started to turn around and walk back. Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi, who were surprised by this, heard him explain: "I just passed my house, but I want to send my friends home first."

This is the responsibility and obligation of being a "leader".

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi, who understood this, looked at each other and were both surprised by Little Carrot's precocity.

"Some people may be born to be the boss." Yu Zhesen quietly said to Chu Yuexi.

"It seems so. When I was in school, there were always people like that in the class... There were always supporters around me." Chu Yuexi murmured.

She suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, were you the eldest or the youngest when you were in school?"

"No, I live in isolation."

"Really? But you look quite cheerful and you speak... humorously. You don't look like someone who is lonely and has no friends."

Yu Zhesen smiled and did not answer.

If I had to explain it, he was not excluded from the crowd, but he actively stayed away and did not want to blend in.

There is a sun in my life, compared with which all the stars pale.

"I'm home, brothers and sisters, thank you." Xiaoluobo said to Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi while standing in front of a small courtyard surrounded by low walls.

"Goodbye." Chu Yuexi waved to him.

"Come in and sit for a while. I'll get you two glasses of water."

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi looked at each other again. They originally wanted to politely decline, but the innocence in the child's eyes made people unable to refuse.

They followed Xiaoluobo into the house, and all three of them were stunned at the entrance.

Not because of the expected poverty and poverty, but because there was a tall and burly man standing behind him in the room.

He is 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Yu Zhesen. He has short black hair and a slim brown jacket that shows the tight and strong muscle lines on his arms and back. He has his hands in his pockets. He is wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and thick-soled gray leather shoes.

.

"You...who are you?"

There was a slight fear in Xiaoluobo's voice. He instinctively wanted to run away and call for help, but because Chu Yuexi and Yu Zhesen were behind him, he had the courage to ask questions to the strangers who broke into his home.

The tall and burly man turned around, looked past the child who was less than his waist height, paused slightly on Chu Yuexi, and then moved to Yu Zhesen.

His skin is a dark wheat color, his brows are like swords, and his piercing pupils are a burning golden color.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." The man said, "I didn't expect that my wish would come true on this occasion."
