Guard Department prepared a very rich late-night snack, including fried, juicy steaks, roasted golden and tender whole chickens, and sausages cut into large pieces. In addition, there were actually two bowls of small wontons, and several delicious pickled side dishes.

At the special request of Gecko, several bottles of beer were prepared for each of them.

Because beer has a shorter shelf life, beer has become rarer than liquor after the disaster.

Most of the drunkards in Satellite City can only survive on the low-quality liquor brought back by Pioneer Team or produced in small workshops. However, fortunately, Qinggang City originally had a complete beer and liquor production line, and now it has resumed work at Main City. Some good liquor has been produced, and beer has begun to be supplied to the market in large quantities, and is even traded to some forces outside the city.

Of course, even so, being able to drink fresh beer at Satellite City is still a luxury.

"I'm going home today."

After finishing the midnight snack, Lu Xin said to Gecko.

When Mom left, he told himself that he would hold a family meeting. Lu Xin had already agreed. He felt that this meeting was very important.

Moreover, he himself actually had something to say.

Gecko's face changed slightly after hearing Lu Xin's proposal. He seemed not to want Lu Xin to leave.

Lu Xin speculated that this may be because Gecko received orders from some people to try to keep himself as stable as possible in the Guard Department.

But facing Lu Xin's calm gaze, Gecko did not stop him. Instead, he changed his voice and said with a smile, "You can come back if you want."

"After such great achievements this time, is it possible that we can still be tied here?"

"How about I go back with you too?"

As he spoke, he smiled happily and said, "I just wanted to sit at your house last time."

"This..."

After hearing this, Lu Xin looked at Gecko helplessly and said seriously, "What's wrong with living?"

"What?"

Gecko was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xin Seeing his stiff expression, he smiled apologetically, "I'm just kidding you..."

"Haha..."

Gecko laughed twice in response, and then said seriously to Lu Xin: "Don't make such jokes in the future, it's quite scary."

"You know, I am the most serious person and I never joke with others."

"..."

"Okay."

Lu Xin nodded, and then said, "But I won't invite you to my home this time. You can work here for me for a while. If anything happens, you can call me. It shouldn't take long for me to come back and take your place."

"In this case..."

Gecko listened and had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay, go to hell."

Lu Xin packed up his things briefly and walked out Guard Department.

He originally planned to take the subway, but thinking that it was already so late, the subway must have been out of service long ago. In addition, when he saw that the jeep that sent him and Gecko over was still parked at the door, he walked straight out, opened the door and got in the car.

After his sister sat next to him, he said to the driver in the driver's seat, "Send me a ride Moon Platform."

The driver is a seemingly taciturn man, about forty years old. After completing the last mission, he also picked up Gecko and Lu Xin. It can be seen that his duty should be to serve people with abilities in such critical times.

The driver didn't say anything, just nodded and started the engine.

After the jeep started moving, Lu Xin noticed that several police officers rushed out of the Guard Department. One of them was the staff member wearing thick protective clothing. They all looked at the jeep anxiously, but in the end they did not stop.

Just as the jeep drove into the next intersection, the lights of several cars behind it quickly came on.

It was late at night, close to dawn, and because there had just been such a big chaos in the city, there were very few cars on the road.

So those cars were extremely conspicuous.

Regardless of whether they cover up or not, you can tell at a glance that they are following you.

Even deep in the dark surrounding buildings, there always seemed to be a few pairs of eyes looking at him.

Lu Xin sat quietly in the back seat, head slightly lowered.

My sister was lying next to Lu Xin, her face pressed against the glass window, her eyes widened as she looked at some places in the darkness.

If someone is looking at themselves through a telescope or other instruments at this time, Lu Xin feels that they must not know that when they are looking at themselves, there is a strange girl looking at them next to them.

Sighed slightly.

He could understand that some people were curious and wary of him at this time, but he didn't like being stared at.

Moreover, now that I am planning to go home for a family meeting, Lu Xin wonders to what extent these people will follow or monitor me. If they cross the line, will they anger my father who is already in a bad mood?

So after thinking for a while, he took out the satellite phone and dialed.

Chen Jing quickly picked up the answer, his voice as always, very capable. "What's the matter?"

"Satellite City The matter here has been almost settled..."

Lu Xin pondered and said slowly, "Now I plan to go home."

Chen Jing said, "Then just go back. You don't need to report this kind of thing to me."

Lu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "But there are many people following me, and I don't like this very much."

"..."

Chen Jing was obviously silent for a while and said, "I understand, wait for me to make arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xin waited quietly in the back seat.

In the rearview mirror, the driver glanced at Lu Xin, as if he didn't expect that he would use this method to solve the tracking problem.

I don't know what kind of arrangements Chen Jing made. Several vehicles following the jeep quickly turned around.

The feeling of being watched by several hidden eyes and being a little upset has also disappeared.

This makes Lu Xin believe that those who were arranged to follow him should have indeed been withdrawn.

The satellite phone rang. After it was connected, Chen Jing said calmly, "The people following you were not arranged by the headquarters, but I have asked them to withdraw all of them. You don't have to worry about these things for the time being. You can even... be more steady..."

"Have you never seen a woman's intestines?"

"..."

Lu Xin was about to agree, but was interrupted by Chen Jing's sudden sentence, and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm in surgery."

Chen Jing said, "I was slightly injured when I was attacked, and now I have time to deal with it."

"..."

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay."

Chen Jing's tone seemed to be a little nonchalant as he said, "It's just a hole in the abdomen that hurts the internal organs. It will be fine after suturing it. I have used my ability to hypnotize myself so that I won't feel the pain... Your matters are more important. I heard about the matter you solved Mental Monster this time. You did a good job, but because you handled it well, it scared some people."

"But it's not just you. When I recruited Kid, the drunkard, Gecko, and even when they first faced me, they all had this reaction. We Special Pollution Cleanup Department people have our own rules and regulations, so we don't need to pay attention to these annoying things."

"..."

"Okay, you focus on the surgery."

Lu Xin answered into the phone and hung up.

At this time, he remembered that he was also injured. When he looked down, he saw that the wound had already formed scabs and seemed to be healed soon.

I thought silently in my heart, Chen Jing is my leader, she is undergoing surgery...

... Would you like to buy some fruit and send it over?

After driving for half an hour, the jeep stopped under an old building.

Lu Xin got out of the car, then walked to the driver's seat and said to the driver, "Don't wait for me, I'll go back by myself later."

The driver nodded expressionlessly and whispered, "I understand."

Lu Xin nodded to him, turned around and walked up the dark old building.

The moment he entered the doorway, a room on the left side of the fourth floor suddenly lit up with warm lights.

The driver silently drove the car towards the Guard Department position. After driving far away, his palms holding the steering wheel suddenly started to visibly tremble. His expressionless face also appeared a little relaxed, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He took an earphone with a slightly trembling hand and put it on his ear. Someone on the channel had already been calling him.

"There is an order from above to stop monitoring individual soldiers..."

"B3, did you hear that? There is an order from above to stop monitoring individual soldiers!"

"..."

"I heard it!"

The driver spoke in a hoarse voice, "He was in my car just now. Why did he do this?"

"It was Chen Jing of Special Action Team who vouched for him."

"But... doesn't it mean that his current threat level has reached level A?"

"..."

The voice in the channel was silent for a while and said, "This is also for your safety. We have just received a report from above. During his Satellite City No. 2 and Super-Class B mental monster cleanup mission, several people who were ordered to investigate him have already paid the price."

"Among them are a senior investigator, an A-level elite agent, and even... an ability user."

"Cause of death, unknown..."

"..."

The driver subconsciously turned back and looked at the area where the old building was located.

After a long, long time, he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away from this area.

The monthly ticket is too expensive, almost 4,000...
