The five of them sat around the dining table, eating the cake baked by Ao Ying, and discussing the details of the interrogation just now.
"Squad leader, are you saying that several demon kings have dispatched a large number of their subordinates and dispersed them to dozens of cities behind to cause trouble?"
Yue Wushuang asked softly, with a bit of worry in her eyes.
Zhou Zheng said: "The two of them tortured the group of monsters they caught in recent days. As long as they could open their mouths, the answers were similar. Captain Feng has already reported the situation."
Li Zhiyong said: "Disturbing the enemy's rear is a relatively common strategy."
Xiao Sheng sneered: "Good fellow, these monsters don't think about cooking, they all start studying the art of war."
"Don't worry too much."
Yue Wushuang introduced:
"Although a lot of the standing forces of the Twelve Cities of the East China Sea have been deployed to the front lines, there are still nearly forty cultivating forces in the Twelve Cities.
"In this case, our masters from the Shenying Realm and Guixu Realm of Yue Sword Immortal Sect will come out to slay demons, and other sects will also take action."
"This couldn't be better."
Zhou Zheng took a look at the group of Daxiu cultivators he was in, and found that many Taoist priests had indeed come out to discuss the issue of demons becoming more and more active recently.
Let's wait for instructor Xiaoyue to arrange it. This is not something that a young monk like him should consider.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "In my impression, there will be a difficult period of several months every two or three years. There will be a large number of police patrols on the road, and the supply of supplies will be limited... Looking at it now, this situation should be the case in the West."
The fighting on the front line was tense, resulting in instability in the rear."
"Squad leader, you can practice with peace of mind and don't go out," Xiao Sheng said directly, "You are not yet at the level of a god. You will be in danger when you encounter more powerful demons. It is enough for me to act with Zhiyong and Wushuang together."
Ao Ying nodded gently and looked at Zhou Zheng with some worry.
"In this way, our group is divided into two groups."
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said slowly:
"I took Ao Ying with me and other Xiantian realm team members to deal with some weaker monsters and spirits.
"The three of you form a quick response team to kill the stronger demons and reduce casualties as much as possible.
"Xiao Sheng, don't hold back anymore. What we are pursuing now is efficiency. Once it is determined that the target has harmed someone or has the opportunity to harm someone, according to regulations, he can be killed directly."
"Okay," Xiao Sheng's eyes flashed with a little sparkle, "I can still control the severity of these."
Li Zhiyong said: "I need more sniper rifles."
Zhou Zheng wondered: "Aren't your two big snipers enough?"
Li Zhiyong said: "If you encounter a group of monsters and the firepower is not enough, a sniper rifle combined with spirit-infused bullets can effectively kill monsters that have been practicing for hundreds of years without consuming too much of my mana."
"I'll go find Captain Feng and apply."
Zhou Zheng thought in his heart and felt that he still needed to fulfill his responsibilities as a squad leader, so he warned:
"Everyone, please rest first, there will be no orders coming to us tonight.
"Now that we are on the front line against demons and have become the trump cards in the eyes of our colleagues on the Third Industrial Island, let us spend some time and energy to fight to protect those innocent people.
“However, you must do everything according to your ability and never force yourself.
"We can only do what we are capable of, otherwise it will not solve troubles, but create troubles for others."
"Squad leader, don't worry," Xiao Sheng waved his hand, "With me watching over them, there won't be any big trouble."
Yue Wushuang curled her lips and snorted, while Li Zhiyong nodded kindly.
Then the three of them rushed back to their own areas and started busy, making preparations for a long-term battle.
Talismans and ammunition must be prepared, and magic weapons and firearms must also be maintained.
Zhou Zheng sat in the restaurant for a while, his eyes a little deep.
Ao Ying asked softly: "Do you feel stressed?"
"Well," Zhou Zheng smiled, "If I have entered the Divine Ying Realm now, I can also act with the three of them... I don't want to think about this anymore and go back to the house to practice!"
Ao Ying pursed her lips and complained: "I will know how to practice when I get back home."
It’s not impossible to practice dual cultivation.
Zhou Zheng almost blurted out this joke, secretly thinking it was dangerous.
If she takes it seriously, it will not end well.
…
Before dawn, Zhou Zheng heard the whistle outside the window.
He broke out of his trance and walked to the window to look outside. He saw more than a dozen colleagues who were in a hurry gathering, boarding several off-road vehicles and setting off quickly.
There is less and less time for everyone to rest in shifts.
Feng Bugui called quickly and asked Zhou Zheng in a hoarse voice if the five of them were ready.
Zhou Zheng explained their grouping plan, and pulled Feng Bugui into his team's chat group, asking Feng Bugui to directly mobilize three monks above the Divine Ying Realm, and he and Ao Ying went to the next team to help catch the monsters.
"I can also fight."
Ao Ying recommended herself: "The two of us can actually act together with Xiao Sheng and the others."
"Try not to take action," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "Wushuang is not here, so you should hide with me. If the Dragon Palace knows that I am taking you to a bloody and bloody place instead of a romantic one, I will probably urge you to go home again."
"That's okay, I can lend you spiritual power at any time, and I can also protect you personally, hehe."
"Will borrowing spiritual power like this affect your practice?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"No way."
Ao Ying smiled and said: "Spiritual power can be restored on its own, just like your magic power. What I am waiting for now is for the soul to drive the bloodline to awaken. Transforming into a dragon is actually very complicated. Although I don't have to do anything now, leaping through the dragon gate is a
Big trouble."
"As long as it doesn't affect you."
Zhou Zheng stretched out and asked enthusiastically: "Shall we go out now?"
"I'll make some breakfast before we move on," Ao Ying said. "With so many monks patrolling, you won't be missing."
"Okay, let's wait until the three of them go out together... let's cook some frozen dumplings."
"Eat dumplings so early in the morning?"
Zhou Zheng said sternly: "Get up and put the dumplings on your feet for good luck."
"Hee," Ao Ying suddenly couldn't help laughing.
Today is bound to be busy.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zheng's five-man team divided into two groups and began to form a fire-fighting team.
In their group chat, several of Captain Feng's superiors soon appeared. These leaders were unambiguous and directly equipped the five-man team with a helicopter for rapid maneuverability.
Xiao Sheng put away his previously cheerful and upright side, showed the demeanor of a contemporary heavenly general, and tried his best to play his role at the peak of the Return to Ruins Realm.
He always charges forward in every battle, leaving Yue Wushuang to chase his back.
Li Zhiyong has been hiding in the relatively hidden rear. With a sniper rifle and two spiritual bullets, he can often control the situation accurately and quickly.
Compared to the three of them, Zhou Zheng and Ao Ying were slightly more relaxed.
They spend half of their time patrolling and investigating monster traces, and there is relatively little fighting.
Zhou Zheng also secretly learned how to identify whether spiritual objects are contaminated with evil spirits, and sharpened his eyesight and judgment.
He also encountered trouble today.
At that time, they were tracking traces of monsters in a vegetable market. Zhou Zheng had already roughly identified the suspect and surrounded the suspect with several team members. However, because there were too many mortals around, he was afraid of causing accidental injuries and did not take direct action.
Just when Zhou Zheng was passing by a water tank, a grass carp suddenly jumped out of the water, sprayed out a sharp light from its mouth, and scraped directly towards Zhou Zheng's thigh.
Fortunately, Zhou Zheng reacted quickly and used a palm downwards to summon an explosion-proof shield to block the blow. Ao Ying was also surrounded by spiritual power.
The most troublesome thing is that after they caught the two monsters, they had to put talismans on the witnesses one by one to block their memories for a few minutes and restore order to normal.
The more he thought about it, the less he understood why things like gods and demons had to be hidden from ordinary people.
It seems that there is no concept of the public's right to know in Futian League.
at dusk.
After the five-person team returned to the villa, except for Ao Ying who was running around making tea and cutting fruits for everyone, the four of them collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion.
Yue Wushuang gently kneaded her calves to prevent excessive exercise from producing muscle mass and affecting the beauty of her slim legs.
She said: "It's really a fulfilling day."
"We caught more than 20 monsters today, and they are not weak in cultivation," Xiao Sheng let out a long sigh, "What's going on with these two layers of protective formation? It feels like they've been penetrated through a sieve."
Li Zhiyong said: "These demons must have some means of entry that the authorities don't know about."
"I'm thinking about this too. If we don't block the source, catching them like this is not the solution. They just want to burn the flames of war to our rear areas."
Zhou Zheng sat up and took out a crumpled piece of printing paper from his pocket, with a rough topographic map of the Third Industrial Island drawn on it.
Zhou Zheng said: "Look, this is the statistics I made this afternoon. The distribution map of more than 80 chaotic monsters recently discovered, the most concentrated areas are these three."
Li Zhiyong said slowly: "Light rail station, logistics distribution center, red light district."
"Red light district? Where?" Xiao Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is there such a fun place?"
Yue Wushuang snorted softly: "I'm not afraid of affecting the reputation of Futian Alliance."
Xiao Sheng laughed twice, but did not argue with the woman.
"I will go investigate these three places tomorrow," Zhou Zheng said, "You continue to be a fire brigade, don't worry, I won't go there alone."
Several people nodded, discussed a few more words, and dragged their tired bodies back to the house to restore their mana and energy.
Ao Ying specially brewed ginseng tea and gave it to Zhou Zheng in advance.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but yawned after putting on his pajamas. He was mentally calculating tomorrow's investigation plan and suitable companions. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes, gradually falling into trance.
Ao Ying turned into a golden carp and sank into the large fish tank. She seemed a little tired and soon became motionless.
The night outside the window is getting darker, and occasionally a few young men and women wearing dark blue windbreakers say good night to each other and go back to their residences to repair.
Everywhere in the Third Industrial Island is still ‘busy’.
Police cars patrolled back and forth, and figures wearing blue windbreakers quickly walked through the streets and alleys. The walkie-talkies on their shoulders continued to send out new instructions.
Similar situations appeared in Longchen City and every corner of the Twelve Cities in the East China Sea.
In the shadows of thousands of lights, there are many figures crawling and squirming.
In the main urban area, the apartment building where Zhou Zheng previously rented.
The sound of clattering footsteps echoed in the corridor. The figure wearing a black one-piece gelcoat attracted the attention of several passers-by. It also made an uncle holding the key to open the door unable to find the keyhole for a long time.
Perhaps it was because of the stiletto heels that this figure looked very tall, with a pair of long straight and round legs, and the tight-fitting rubber coat depicted her almost perfect outline.
She tied her long, light yellow hair into a ponytail, which made her neck look longer and slender, and the exposed skin on her neck was slightly pale.
The woman stopped in front of a security door and raised her head slightly.
A pair of small round eyes flashed with light green, and her oval-shaped face was a mixture of charm and coldness. She bit her lip lightly, her eyes shining brighter, and she pressed the doorbell with her gloved right hand.
Ding dong——
"Who?"
A somewhat impatient man's voice came from inside the door.
The woman was obviously a little nervous, but her nervousness was filled with anticipation. Her posture became straighter and taller, and her breathing became very gentle.
When the door opened, the middle-aged man who was about to curse was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gentleman's smile:
"Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Zhou Zheng, doesn't he live here anymore?"
She looked past the person in front of her and looked at the situation in the room.
"Ah, you are talking about the previous tenant," the middle-aged uncle said hurriedly, "I heard from the rental office that he had rented for several years, but ended up quitting the rent early without even returning the rent."
"Really? Thanks."
The woman responded with a smile, a hint of light green flashing in her eyes.
The middle-aged man who was greedily looking at the figure of the beautiful woman in front of him suddenly started to tremble. He turned around, closed the door and walked back into the house. Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, his eyes became dull.
"Dirty."
The woman stepped toward the other side of the corridor, her slender brows slightly furrowed, and her figure gradually melted into the darkness.
