The criss-crossing bone forest slowly decayed as if it had been exposed to high-concentration sulfuric acid, and it was not Ji Zhan's turn to deal with the aftermath.
Lin Xu's body was also handed over to the district management team who came from behind. Ji Zhan couldn't help but glance a few more times in the direction where Lin Xu was taken away.
Death is very common in such an apocalyptic world, but death happens to people who are related to them every day, and it is still difficult for human beings with emotions to adapt to such separation.
"Ji Zhan, are you sad?" Jing Sa walked to Ji Zhan's side and asked, seeing Ji Zhan's dazed look.
Ji Zhan shook his head gently. Although it was a pity for Lin Xu's death, he was not sad.
Ji Zhan pursed his lips and said, "I was just thinking that I might never see eyes of that color again."
Jing Sa's eyes darkened. He didn't want to say false words of comfort to Ji Zhan, but he also wouldn't hide anything from Ji Zhan.
Even though what he was about to say might make Ji Zhan angry, Jing Sa still wanted Ji Zhan to know.
Because Ji Zhan is the one who knows his true nature...
"Ji Zhan." Jing Sa's arm hung from Ji Zhan's back around her neck, and she was close to Ji Zhan. It looked like an intimate gesture that an ordinary couple would do.
Under Ji Zhan's questioning gaze, Jing Sa lowered his voice and said, "I killed Lin Xu."
Ji Zhan's pupils narrowed slightly, and she looked at Jing Sa in great surprise.
There was no regret or concealment in Jing Sa's eyes, and he just let Ji Zhan look at him. After a few seconds, Ji Zhan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
However, a group of footsteps approached, and Ji Zhan had to pay attention first and turn his head to look behind him.
When Qi Huan and Yu Wu saw the approaching team, they both hurriedly moved aside and subconsciously stepped aside, straightening their backs and saying, "Captain!"
It was Cheng Yue who brought the team over. They seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and everyone had some injuries.
Cheng Yue first looked around at the mess around him. They also encountered monsters when they came over, but the traces of the battle were not as tragic as here.
While Cheng Yue was looking around, he naturally saw Ji Zhan and Jing Sa standing over there.
When Qi Huan and Yu Wu saw that Cheng Yue was about to pass, they quickly stopped him and said, "Captain, the monster just now was solved thanks to the help of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa."
"Yes, yes, captain, Ji Zhan's injuries haven't healed yet. She was because of..."
They were all eager to explain to Ji Zhan and Jing Sa, because they all knew very well what kind of punishment the Inquisition would impose if Ji Zhan and Jing Sa returned to the inner base like this.
However, their explanation was not recognized by Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue stood still, his tall and burly figure and his usual majesty in the team made Qi Huan and Yu Wu feel the hairs on their bodies stand up.
Cheng Yue said: "Qi Huan, Yu Wu, you two have also been included in the review list, and what you said can no longer be used as testimony."
After Cheng Yue finished speaking, two people came from behind. They took out handcuffs that could suppress the power of evolvers, took Qi Huan and Yu Wu's wrists and cuffed them.
Qi Huan and Yu Wu both subconsciously tried to struggle, but were held down by someone's shoulders.
Lan Qian had a closer relationship with Qi Huan, so she asked her men to get out of the way, and she came to guard them both personally.
Lan Qian said to Qi Huan: "You two, please be quiet."
"Sister Lan Qian, please help me. The two of them really didn't do anything detrimental to the base!" Qi Huan said urgently to Lan Qian.
Lan Qian looked at the three people who were talking over there and could only say: "Ji Zhan and Jing Sa disappeared for no reason at first, and now they appear inexplicably at the outer base, and they also forged their identities. It was obviously premeditated. This incident
If they can't give the superiors a reasonable explanation for the matter, even if Brother Yue lets them go, the superiors will still interrogate them."
Lan Qian has no hostility towards Ji Zhan and the others, but she always stands on Cheng Yue's side, so she has a lot of inability to control herself.
On the other side, Cheng Yue stood opposite Ji Zhan and Jing Sa. Ji Zhan and Jing Sa were not afraid of Cheng Yue, their eyes were calm and calm.
Cheng Yue didn't like the looks in Ji Zhan and Jing Sa's eyes. Whenever they showed such looks, it would make people feel like they were floating outside.
It's like there is a deep gap between them and the rest of the world.
"You should know what you have done wrong. Follow me back to the inner base for interrogation." Cheng Yue did not forcibly put the handcuffs on their wrists, but just hooked them on their fingers, allowing himself to be arrested.
But Ji Zhan and Jing Sa didn't move. Cheng Yue narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said with a strong warning in his voice: "Don't struggle in vain. I know that you are stronger than everyone here."
, I don’t want to engage in a useless struggle. As long as you cooperate well, the trial court will not make things difficult for you.”
As long as it is certain that Ji Zhan and Jing Sa pose no threat to the base, even if the Inquisition wants to embarrass them, Commander Qiu will not allow it for the first time.
The power of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa is a great asset to the Fifth Security Base.
"So in the court of justice, you'd better tell the truth, and you'd better explain everything you have concealed." Cheng Yue's eyes swept towards Ji Zhan and Jing Sa like sharp knives.
Ji Zhan glanced at Cheng Yue indifferently, her clear eyes were terrifyingly calm, and she said, "Why are you so afraid of us?"
She and Jing Sa were obviously human beings, and everything they did did not endanger the safety of the base. She couldn't understand why Cheng Yue always kept an eye on her and Jing Sa.
Cheng Yue said: "No one will let down their guard against someone who has concealed many secrets."
What Cheng Yue was really afraid of was not Ji Zhan, but Jing Sa.
It started from the time when Jing Sa resisted the physical examination and died in the night.
Jing Sa could also keenly sense Cheng Yue's attitude towards him. He reached out and touched the handcuffs hooked on Cheng Yue's fingers. The handcuffs fell from Cheng Yue's hands and hit the ground.
Jing Sa's eyes were dark, and although there was a smile in his eyes, it made people feel that his aura was even more dangerous at this moment.
Sensing the danger, Cheng Yue subconsciously placed his hand on the trigger of the rifle on his chest and stared at Jing Sa with increasing vigilance.
However, in the tense atmosphere, Jing Sa laughed "chi" as if his prank had succeeded.
"Is Captain Cheng Yue afraid of me?" Jing Sa said with a smile.
However, this sentence was a provocation to Cheng Yue.
Before Cheng Yue could say anything, Jing Sa kicked the handcuffs at his feet and said, "Ji Zhan and I will go back with you, but we don't need this. You should know that this thing can't lock us."
…
The cleaning mission of the outer base lasted for a whole day. Ji Zhan, Jing Sa, and Zhao Ziwei were detained at the temporary headquarters and did not participate in the operation because they were listed as review targets.
At this moment, the five of them were sitting on a container, gnawing dry food and drinking cold water.
Zhao Ziwei was shocked for a long time when he saw Ji Zhan and Jing Sa, but he soon accepted the reality. It would be best for them to come back safely.
"Really, since they have to be detained, they are all treated equally." Qi Huan was a little annoyed by the handcuffs and looked unhappily at Jing Sa, who was free to move over there and was wiping Ji Zhan's mouth with a handkerchief.
Zhao Ziwei comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't complain. After we return to the inner base, Ji Zhan and Jing Sa will have to go to the trial court to suffer some hardships."
The review process of the Inquisition will not be gentle. The presiding judges will use any means to pry answers out of people's mouths.
Zhao Ziwei said to Ji Zhan and Jing Sa: "I, Qi Huan, and Yu Wu are also subjects of review. They will also ask us about you. We don't know anything about what you have done in the past three months. You can tell us now.
When the time comes to examine us, we can also find ways to induce the chief judge to reduce your punishment as much as possible."
Ji Zhan shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, this matter is between me and Jing Sa, you don't need to get involved."
After Ji Zhan's words were finished, Zhao Ziwei and the others felt a sense of disappointment in their hearts. Although they were on the same team, even though they were born and died together several times, in Ji Zhan's heart, they were still separate entities.
"When the Inquisition asks you questions, just answer them truthfully." Jing Sa also said the same.
Zhao Ziwei and the others had no choice but to agree.
There was a noise outside, and even the handcuffs on Qi Huan's wrists couldn't stop his curiosity. He walked over and poked his head to take a look.
"This is what your team members are fighting for. No matter what, they have to give me an explanation!"
"I am the captain of the district management team, and I have a position. If you are so arrogant, don't you take our management department seriously?!"
Qi Huan sneered when he saw the man who was noisily facing Cheng Yue.
Isn't that the man he turned into a pig's head?
Lan Qian stayed behind Cheng Yue. She caught a glimpse of Qi Huan, who was not restless, and walked over quietly.
"You are still so restless even after being handcuffed. Brother Yue is now being entangled by the district management team. How can you attack them? It will cause a lot of trouble."
Lan Qian also took advantage of this opportunity to put the gun aside. Seeing that there was an empty container on the other side of Ji Zhan that could be used as a seat, she sat over it.
Lan Qian crossed her legs and took out a slender lady's cigarette from her pocket. She saw Ji Zhan staring at the cigarette in her hand and asked with a grin: "Want to try it?"
Lan Qian also handed the cigarette to Ji Zhan, and then she felt the death gaze from behind Ji Zhan.
Lan Qian took back her hand, bit it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Forget it, your guy won't let me."
Ji Zhan looked back at Jing Sa, who had regained his composure, and explained, "I'm just a little curious."
Jing Sa touched the top of Ji Zhan's hair and said, "The smell is too strong and not suitable for you."
"oh."
Here, Qi Huan has already begun to ask Lan Qian for information. He said: "Sister Lan Qian, what does the commander mean now?"
"Does he really want to let the people from the Inquisition examine us?"
