The clues stopped abruptly, as if they were deliberately erased.
The Code did not choose to blow up this laboratory.
Rather than blowing it up, it's better to use it to confuse the enemy.
Go through the long and narrow passage, go up the stairs, and dive into the water again.
With a "plop", Guan Guan swam out of the water.
Zhenzhuan stepped sideways and returned to the concrete floor next to the ditch. Xingtu who was standing beside him thoughtfully handed him a towel.
"Thank you." Guan Guan picked up the towel and wiped his body briefly.
"How's it going? Are there any clues in it?" Xingtu asked.
"Unfortunately, our clues have been cut off." Guan Guan said hesitantly, "It seems that [The Web of Shadows] are not ordinary people. I underestimated them."
"Then should we retreat temporarily or look for new clues?" Xingtu asked a little unwillingly.
Guan Guan thought for a rare moment and said, "Let's go to the morning market and have a simple breakfast."
"Okay." Xingtu responded quickly.
"By the way, how did you know that the informant was the white-haired uncle selling pancakes and fruit?"
"Half of it is due to my unique ability, and the other half...forget it, I don't want you to know." Guan Guan didn't want to continue talking.
Xingtu unexpectedly stopped asking.
The two of them re-entered the morning market, and the familiar shouts echoed in Zhenzhuan's ears. Each stall was filled with a variety of ingredients, which looked very tempting.
Along with bursts of thick water vapor, bursts of aroma hit your nose.
"I didn't expect the food in Slum No. 13 to be quite delicious." Xingtu praised, "I have a little appetite."
The guidelines state unquestionably: "First, don't use the official term [Slum No. 13]. People here are used to calling it "Northeast and South No. 13" street. Second, don't think it's hygienic just because it smells good.
Most of the food ingredients here are not fresh, and coupled with environmental pollution, most of the food is harmful to the body."
"It seems I can just be a salted fish." Xingtu shrugged, "You are simply a perfect woman."
"No, my vision is not very good. I made a mistake." Zhen Guan looked at Xingtu, "Originally, I wanted you to learn the skills in the dark, but now it seems that it is all in vain."
Why does this sentence sound so unbeatable? Forget it, I can't beat it anyway... Xingtu thought silently.
"Okay, let's sit at that stall and have breakfast." Guan Guan stopped in front of a store.
The shop had no signboard and the food it sold was very simple, just fried dough sticks and eggs.
After the guide greeted the boss, he served it
A plate full of food.
On the plate lay a few fried dough sticks and a few raw eggs.
Disgust was written all over Xingtu's face.
"Eat quickly, don't be picky, this is much better than your black tea." Zhan Guan directly picked up a fried dough stick and put it into his mouth gracefully.
"Haha, this kind of eating posture is not what a girl living here would like." Xingtu was amused by Zhan Guan's eating posture.
Facing Xingtu's habitually folded legs, Guan Guan said quietly: "Your sitting posture is not like the men here, so you have no right to talk about other people."
In the secret competition, Xingtu and Guanzhen finished a simple breakfast.
Xingtu wiped the oil from his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
[Okay, let’s sort out the content of the information. 】
The voice of principles rang in Xingtu's ears.
【……】
The voice of communication becomes noisy.
Guan Guan was in front of Xingtu, his face was heavy, and his eyes were looking at the sky behind Xingtu.
"What's wrong, Principle." Xingtu turned to look behind him.
There were strange fluctuations in the air, and behind him were chaotic streets and blazing flames.
"There are no more clues to be found. Let's leave this place of right and wrong first." Guan Guan calmly ordered.
Xingtu asked anxiously: "How is Xiaoya? Has she been sent away?"
Guan Guan glanced at the communication device and said, "Don't worry, she has been sent out safely."
The fire caused thick smoke to billow from Slum No. 13, and people screamed in panic.
The crowd rushed in like a tide, and Guan Guan's relatively small body was swallowed up by the fleeing crowd.
Adhering to the code of clandestine operations, she cannot use her special abilities in front of so many people.
Xingtu finally exerted a much stronger power than his peers. He went upstream without hesitation and walked forcefully to the side of the criterion.
"No matter what happens, I will be by your side to accompany you." Xingtu stretched out his strong arms.
"Why are you so stupid?" Guan Guan held Xingtu's wrist tightly.
"It's better to leave these lame love words to your future lover." Guan Guan said without any emotion.
"You are probably overthinking it." Xingtu smiled awkwardly.
In this way, Xingtu and Guanzhi held each other's arms, worked together, and finally escaped from Slum No. 13.
Outside Slum 13 is a deserted land.
The residents who were lucky enough to escape were gasping for air and sitting weakly on the ground, their eyes already dim and lifeless.
Thirteen
The slum is a scorched place.
The residents who were unfortunately trapped in the fire scene were blind, kneeling on the ground in despair, watching the fire engulf their bodies.
"It's really cruel and inhumane. Who caused the fire?"
"Life is in ruins, God, who did we offend?"
The sound of discussion reached his ears, like sharp thorns, piercing into his heart and confusing Xingtu's heart.
The integrity engraved in his bones made him unable to face this fact.
"Why are you still standing there! Call the relevant federal departments quickly!" Xingtu shouted at the guidelines for the sit-in.
Guan Guan said painfully: "It's useless. Slum No. 13 belongs to the autonomous region, and the federation will not send anyone to rescue them."
"The Federation, is the Federation headquarters so ruthless?" Xingtu was in a daze.
"Isn't it possible even with your high level of authority?"
"No matter who calls, they won't come over. Just give up." Guan Guan said coldly.
"Then I'll go in and save them alone." Xingtu rushed to the front of Guan Guan in a state of confusion.
"Snapped."
Guan Guan suddenly slapped Xingtu with his backhand and slapped him across the face.
A big red handprint appeared on Xingtu's face.
"Xingtu, please wake up a little bit." Guan Guan frowned and said angrily, "Stop yelling! What's the use of being brave now!"
Guan Guan said in a trembling voice: "Although most of the people inside are innocent, they are also strangers to you."
"I ask you a question, and if you can answer it, I will let you die." Guan Guan pointed at the fire scene with his right hand firmly.
"If there are two people in a fire that you need to save, one is Xiaoya, and the other is three people you don't know, and you can only save one side, what would you choose?"
"Would you sacrifice those three people or Xiaoya?" Guan Guan's words were like a needle pricking Xingtu's heart.
Xingtu did not give up and continued: "I won't choose, I will go directly to save..."
"If you didn't rescue one of the two sides, you would think that you killed them, right?" Guan Guan interrupted Xingtu, "Don't I know you well?"
And this sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Xingtu couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, fell into a trance, and fell to the ground.
"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth." Guan Guan said in a hoarse voice.
"You have sacrificed enough, don't sacrifice yourself anymore."
Xingtu raised his face covered with dirt and asked, "Can I entrust you with my life?"
