Without asking, Ning Feng followed Yan Rulong silently, thinking quietly about what happened.
Is there something wrong with Chaiya and the others?
But according to the impression at the time, Roda should not have been seriously injured. Was there an accident later?
Attrition?
Disabled?
But if it was such a big matter, Yan Rulong wouldn't be so without a sense of urgency.
Or is this just an excuse, he wants to ask about Li Tiandu?
Ning Feng didn't know how much Yan Rulong knew about that matter. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to know the details, but he couldn't say whether he would discover something.
Click.
The two of them arrived at Yan Rulong's office without saying anything.
This was not the first time Ning Feng came to his office, and he didn't feel nervous at all.
It's a little messy, but not irritating, and you can clearly feel the sense of order in the chaos.
It's just that the placement of some details is a bit informal, which may make obsessive-compulsive disorder uncomfortable.
There are several photo frames placed on the corner of the table. On the contrary, this kind of detail adds a sense of life to the serious atmosphere.
Sitting opposite each other, Ning Feng became more and more confused about Yan Rulong's true meaning.
Because no matter how he looked at it, the other party was just doing business and had no personal emotions involved.
However, I always feel that something is not normal.
It's like it's stuck in the throat.
Crunch.
The seat groaned under him, and Yan Rulong seemed much more relaxed when he returned to the room, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
He is just an ordinary person. Not only has he not rested since he was engaged in invention, but he has been dealing with high-intensity mental work.
He also handled some issues that should have been resolved by branch heads...
He is very tired.
Yan Rulong took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer and was about to light it, but put it in again after seeing Ning Feng.
Finally, he chose a new piece of nicotine and stuck it on his arm.
Pulling himself together, Yan Rulong slowly spoke:
"Anyway, let's talk about the conclusion first. They applied for a one-month short-term leave."
A vacation that does not accept compulsory tasks and is completely removed from the front line.
Ning Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little surprised by this result, but it was not that unexpected.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Without answering directly, Yan Rulong took out a stack of documents from his left hand and placed them in front of Ning Feng.
Um?
With a quick glance, Ning Feng saw the contents clearly. They were the medical test reports of each awakened person.
While Ning Feng quickly flipped through the report, Yan Rulong calmly explained:
"This is the entire Awakening team that took over our mission and came to Bincheng to assist."
"Although there was no real attrition due to the final support, there were 9 personnel who were evaluated as 'recommended to retire'."
Frowning his brows, Ning Feng didn't think this number was low.
On the contrary, the number is really high.
If dispersed to various teams, this would be the adjustment of 9 teams. For the remaining people, this would definitely be a torture.
Moreover, the level of these teams should not be low, so why would something like this happen?
The medical technology of the Watch Society is here. If it is a physical injury, it can be treated as long as it is not the kind of injury that kills in one blow.
unless……
"Guessed it? Yes, they are contaminated."
pollute.
The toughest problem.
This influence is unconscious and even, to a large extent, difficult to control.
It’s not that there are no treatment methods, but it will either take too long, consume a lot of resources, or cause some irreversible damage.
If these people don't want to retire, they need to find ways to suppress and remove pollution.
"This time's enemies, those extraordinary creatures...except for a few who still have some sense left, the rest of their wills have been contaminated."
"Their will has been destroyed long ago, and all that remains in their bodies is the most primitive killing instinct."
The body is controlled to attack the awakened ones, and then gives up control after seeing them, and they will chase the enemy on their own.
"At the moment of death, the pollution contained in their bodies will explode outwards, causing casualties."
Those dark creatures will cause destruction when they are alive, and when they die, they are equivalent to bombs emitting pollution.
Very cruel method.
This is not treating extraordinary creatures as living creatures at all, but purely using them as props.
Ning Feng knew whose handiwork this was.
Li Tiandu.
Even when he fell into the abyss, his hatred for extraordinary creatures did not weaken.
Contaminated, he hates everyone, including the Watch, and also supernatural beings.
He should have been extremely angry at the underhanded tactics of the mastermind behind the scenes, but Yan Rulong didn't dwell on it. He turned the page directly and concluded:
"Okay, I just want you to be careful when encountering this kind of thing in the future. I don't need you to think too much."
"The matter is over. All we can do is reflect on our mistakes and avoid falling into the same trap in the future."
Raising his head tiredly, Yan Rulong said in a deep voice:
"It was a failure of my command that caused such a situation, and I will bear all the responsibilities."
!!!
Raising his hand, Yan Rulong interrupted Ning Feng's hesitation and said calmly:
"No need to persuade me, I have already submitted the report."
"If there is one person who needs to bear all these mistakes, that person is me, and it can only be me."
Yan Rulong said this calmly and could not be refuted at all.
Looking into Yan Rulong's firm eyes for a moment, Ning Feng nodded silently.
Yan Rulong has his own persistence, and Ning Feng can't change it.
"But Chaiya and the others are not on the list of those nine people. Roda, who was most seriously injured by them, only needs to rest for half a month."
"But they still asked me for a month's leave. Do you understand what this means?"
meaning?
Ning Feng thought for a moment and understood what the three of them meant.
It's a notification and an attitude.
Chaiya and the others are not a team under Bincheng, so even if they are asking for leave, they should not submit it to Yan Rulong.
Unless it was to inform Yan Rulong and pass it on to Ning Feng through his mouth.
They gave Ning Feng a chance - a reason for Ning Feng to legitimately change teams while they were on vacation.
Good to get together and good to go.
Before he has fully adjusted, let him choose better teammates.
The reason why such a situation occurs is very simple.
Because Chai Ya and others felt that the strength of themselves and Ning Feng were not matched, and they were not suitable to continue forming a team.
Chai Ya and Lu Qing didn't know what Ning Feng had done or his strength.
But just from reviewing the battle afterwards, they can know how much contribution Ning Feng made.
If he is able to achieve such achievements, do you think he is just an ordinary first-order awakened person?
It’s better not to lie to us.
And Roda knew better. He had really seen Ning Feng's strength revealed.
Just the moment he saved him, Ning Feng's strength shocked him, not to mention his subsequent achievements.
There is definitely a secret in Ning Feng's body.
But Roda did not tell anyone else about his findings, and the report also concealed the witnessing of Ning Feng, all of which were attributed to confusion...
do not ask me!
I did not see anything!
Then, he asked Chai Ya to apply to Yan Rulong on the grounds of physical discomfort.
This kind of talent is an irresistible temptation for any team, and it is the best choice to hold it tightly in your hands.
But Roda still chose to let go.
Because he knows very well the standards of his own people.
There is no problem in bringing new people up, but if they really want to take some high-end adventures, they are still not qualified.
Chaiya was a little surprised, but out of trust in Roda, she submitted the application as he said without asking the reason.
Looking at Ning Feng with a slightly complicated expression, Yan Rulong's eyes were calm and he said softly:
"I think you can understand what they mean. As for how to decide, I can't give you any advice. I can only say..."
"For us soldiers, this kind of thing happens all the time, so don't be mentally burdened."
"On this road, we are always meeting and always losing."
"Someone will always be left behind, but all we can do is continue to look forward and keep walking."
Ning Feng was originally one of the people left behind, but now Yan Rulong naturally excluded him.
"You will definitely encounter things like this again in the future. You have to learn to get used to it."
It seems that Yan Rulong is more confident in Ning Feng's future than Ning Feng himself.
He had finished speaking and said softly to Ning Feng who was in deep thought:
"Okay, let's go Ning Feng."
There was nothing strange about Yan Rulong's expression. He motioned Ning Feng to leave with his eyes:
"Let's go and find your teammates."
"I have other things to deal with, so I won't go with you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to pick up the documents on the table and read them silently.
Is this the end?
Ning Feng always felt that Yan Rulong seemed to be hiding something, but at this time he did not inquire further and chose to obey.
Ning Feng stood up immediately and walked silently toward the door. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said:
"Xi...Dr. Lin gave me a prop, and I did a lot of things with it."
This sentence is not a lie.
Without the secret patterns and legendary magic power that Shilin gave Ning Feng, Ning Feng would not be able to do many things.
Ning Feng didn't know why he said this at this time.
Do you want to defend yourself? Do you want to prove that you have not changed?
But he didn't care about Ning Feng's explanation. Yan Rulong raised his head, shook his head at him and said:
"Let's go."
"……clear."
Bang.
Looking at the closed door, Yan Rulong's expression gradually changed.
Putting down the pretentious documents, Yan Rulong fell back and leaned on the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling.
After a moment of silence, he turned off the lights in the office and covered his face with his coat in the darkness.
There was no more sound in the room.
…
…
Walking silently, Ning Feng did not look back, wondering what happened after he left.
"He didn't ask..."
Yan Rulong never mentioned anything related to Li Tiandu from beginning to end.
Maybe Yan Rulong knows, or maybe he doesn't.
But in the end, he didn't speak.
However, Ning Feng noticed one detail.
One of the photo frames on Yan Rulong's desk was knocked down.
Ning Feng was impressed by that...
That was the only photo taken of Yan Rulong and Li Tiandu.
