Seeing that in the motorcade following him, more than a dozen special team members rushed towards or chased the people he mentioned, Lu Xin stood silently.
He leaned on the back seat, slowly took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
"Do you really want to arrest them all?"
His voice was a little low and uncertain, and he asked Chen Jing on the channel.
"If there is anything unusual among them, they will naturally be arrested and the necessary questioning, isolation, and testing procedures will be carried out."
Chen Jing's words seemed extremely powerful. "They will be released only if they are 100% safe."
"But..."
Lu Xin slowly rubbed his face and slowly looked up.
Now he is already on the main road entering the most prosperous area of Main City. Looking up, he can find that the location of Main City center is different from that of Satellite City. There are a large number of pedestrians of all kinds walking on the street, and there are countless people working and living in the towering office buildings. It has the most prosperous neighborhoods, the most upscale hotels, and the densest crowds.
But at this time, Lu Xin could see that among the countless crowds, various mutations had appeared above their heads, on their backs, or on themselves. They carry monsters on their backs, or become monsters themselves.
These monsters were hidden in the crowd. Because there were so many of them, it seemed that monsters accounted for the majority.
They looked at the people around them and the city with all kinds of greedy and strange eyes, as if because no one could detect their existence, they became more and more arrogant, looking at the prey walking around them with an abnormal excitement.
No one is aware of their existence, they are still happily or busy doing their own thing and walking their own path.
Lu Xin is the only one that can be seen, so it feels like an outlier in the bustling city.
When he looked at this bustling city center, he felt like he was looking at a Ghost Domain.
The endless monsters give people a depressing and irritable feeling.
"If you really want to catch me..."
His voice came after a while. "I'm afraid, we need to send more people over..."
"..."
As if he heard something from Lu Xin's words, Chen Jing's heart suddenly shrank.
At about the same time, the east gate of Qinggang City was located on the steel suspension bridge on the sea side.
You can see from a distance that a huge modified cargo ship is parked in the port in the distance. Immediately, three vehicles drove from the direction of the port, moved forward, and then drove straight onto the platform in front of the suspension bridge under the watchful eyes of two rows of armed soldiers.
"Welcome Old Man Ye, we have been waiting for a long time..."
Mr. Su and Professor Bai came forward to greet them with smiles and shook hands with the first person who got off the car.
A total of seven people got out of the three cars.
Most of them wore navy-blue uniforms and neat clothes, but two of them wore casual clothes.
One is an old man in a suit, who looks elegant and has a cane in his hand. There is a girl in a navy blue nurse uniform taking care of him next to him. On the metal boom he is holding, there is a bottle of medicine hanging along the plastic tube and extended to his arm.
The other one is a man of few words.
He looked very ordinary, looking like he would fall over if the wind blew.
The reason why he attracted the attention of others was that he was wearing a red cloak with the hood covering his face.
Looking under the hood, one could see the smaller half of his pale and thin face.
Mr. Su shook hands with the old man wearing a sling bottle and smiled gently, "I heard that Sea Nation's expert team is coming to share your latest scientific research results. We at Qinggang extend a warm welcome. As soon as we receive your telegram, we will arrange for the expert team to attend the meeting."
"We still want to thank Mr. Su for giving us this opportunity."
The old man's face, which was covered with age spots, also showed a gentle smile. He shook hands with Mr. Su, then looked at Professor Bai and said with a smile, "This must be the famous Mr. Bai. I heard about your performance at the alliance meeting. Your report on the research on special mental types was very popular. It has been made into a book and has been circulated in Sea Nation."
"Haha, go in and talk."
Mr. Su is like a generous and enthusiastic host who politely invites the other party's team to enter High Wall City.
The group of people chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But in a building not far from the steel suspension bridge in the east, Minister Shen, who was wearing military uniform, was looking at the picture on the monitor indifferently. His eyes swept over the old man holding the bottle, and then fell on the man in the red cloak.
"Did you find anything?"
He spoke coldly and asked indifferently.
Behind him, a row of staff also wearing military uniforms faced computers covering the entire wall.
While analyzing the data on the computer screen, they recorded something.
A staff member reported, "Following Mr. Su and Professor Bai, and welcoming the expert team of Sea Nation, there are three ability users. Among them, the one who is best at sensing the mental level and ability type of others is the watchdog. However, he did not send back any special information. This shows that he did not find any abnormalities in those seven people. Even those with abilities are within the control range."
"According to the feedback from the testing equipment we arranged next to the East Gate Steel Suspension Bridge, it can be determined that among the seven people on the other side, there is only one ability user, that is, the man in the red cloak. His spiritual level is approximately between 600 and 1,000."
"In the information faxed over before Sea Nation landed, it was said that his name is Shen Ming and he is a researcher of Sea Nation."
"With the existing data, it is still not possible to analyze what kind of capability system the other party is in."
"..."
"It doesn't matter whether you can see their ability system."
Minister Shen said with an expressionless face, "What I need to ensure is whether they are really here to exchange academic knowledge, and if they really have any abnormal thoughts, whether we can stop them at any time and ensure that none of them can escape."
"Yes!"
The staff agreed loudly and reported other developments very efficiently:
"The sea area thirty miles around Qinggang has been investigated at the same time, and there is nothing abnormal."
"At the same time, seven Special Action Team members from the Special Purity Department, four Special Action Team members from the City Defense Department, ten A-level Special Task Force, and three hundred city defense troops wearing high-level protective clothing have all been deployed around Donghai Hotel and are on standby at any time."
After hearing these words, Minister Shen fell silent.
Sea Nation was built by a group of people who took refuge at sea on cargo ships and ships after Crimson Moon Cataclysm when the world was full of madmen eating people. They have not joined the Northern Alliance, but now that the situation has stabilized, there have been more and more business contacts with the major High Wall City players in the alliance. Promoting such academic exchanges seems to be inevitable and necessary.
But in the world after Crimson Moon, no one dares to take it lightly.
For Mr. Su, his responsibility is to entertain the other party with a wine glass.
Then, he must hold the gun pointed at these people tightly and be ready to fire at any time.
"Qinggang's senior talent training meeting is scheduled to be held at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"According to previous arrangements, you can attend the meeting tomorrow."
Mr. Su was smiling at this time and invited Sea Nation's expert team into Donghai Hotel's conference room.
The location of Donghai Hotel is very special in the entire Qinggang. It is located on the east side of Main City, in a location with extremely sparse people and buildings. It is surrounded by large squares and defensive buildings. The nearest office building is more than a thousand meters away.
The nearest shopping malls and residential areas are already three kilometers away.
The entire surrounding building itself is also made of high-grade building materials and tempered glass, which can withstand high-intensity shaking and mental radiation. In addition, as if to ensure that the meeting can be held smoothly, armed soldiers have already set up a tight blockade around it.
"Senior talent training meeting?"
The old man wearing a sling bottle looked weak, but he was in good spirits.
He smiled and said, "Actually, it's your ability user training conference in Qinggang, right?"
"A lot of information was disclosed in this alliance exchange meeting. It can be seen that all parties have focused on the research and enhancement of ability users. With experts like Professor Bai in Qinggang, they will definitely not fall behind others."
"..."
Mr. Su smiled and said, "I don't understand. In Qinggang, all the work in this area is done by professionals."
He said and looked at Professor Bai.
Professor Bai just smiled and nodded, saying, "There are some plans, but there are still many concerns before we really start doing them."
"Haha, people in the light don't tell secret words."
The old man holding the bottle said with a smile, "Actually, everyone knows that the emergence of ability users has become an issue that none of us can ignore. Whether they are really God's apostles or a group of weird lunatics, we don't care for the moment. The only thing that is certain is that we, High Wall City, must abandon our prejudices and unite to fight against this drastic change."
"I came here this time to promote exchanges and cooperation between Sea Nation and Qinggang City."
"Then use Qinggang City as a seesaw to achieve cooperation with the entire alliance."
"..."
Mr. Su and Professor Bai looked at each other in surprise. The old man's words seemed to be more friendly than expected.
"Dingling bell..."
But just when they were about to discuss it further, the red landline suddenly rang in the conference room.
The crisp ringtone seemed a bit harsh in this serious atmosphere.
Mr. Su just smiled and motioned to the secretary beside him to answer the phone. He was still thinking about what to say.
But before he could continue to change the topic back to the previous rhythm, the secretary suddenly turned around:
"Mr. Su."
He looked a little hesitant. "You may need to answer this call."
"Sorry."
Mr. Su smiled and said to the old man, then picked up the phone, listened quietly for a while, and then gently put it down.
The expression on his face did not change. He just said to the secretary, "Go to Minister Shen's place."
