In the silent rainy night, from time to time, there were the roars of unknown creatures, gunshots, car collisions, explosions, and, always mixed in with these different sounds, the weird and heart-wrenching sound of a baby crying.
Various different sounds made the atmosphere in the detention center extremely quiet.
There were so many people crowded, but no one dared to make any noise.
The guards and detainees were just squatting in the warehouse together, quietly waiting for the chaos outside to pass.
"Crack!"
In this quiet and uncomfortable atmosphere, Lu Xin lit a cigarette. When he saw many eyes from around him looking at him, he shook his shoulders unnaturally, signaled to everyone, and said, "You guys want one too?"
The guards around and the detainees looked at each other, and the cigarette buyer young guard took the cigarettes and began to distribute them one by one. He seemed to subconsciously not want Lu Xin to be in trouble, so he took the initiative to pass out the cigarettes for him. It's just that Lu Xin looked at the rapidly decreasing number of cigarettes with a strange look in his eyes. But after hesitating for a while, he still didn't have the nerve to stop him from sharing the cigarettes.
Then everyone stayed in the warehouse, smoking silently, and no one dared to sleep.
"Brother, what on earth is this... outside?"
I don't know how long it took, but a guard finally reacted and plucked up the courage to ask Lu Xin.
"Madman."
Lu Xin, under the eyes of everyone, smoked silently and answered softly.
"Crazy?"
The guards and the detainees on both sides of the warehouse were in unnatural commotion, and their faces were full of doubts. "Is this a lunatic?"
"No, I've seen madmen in the circus before. Isn't it like this?"
"More than just a circus? I've seen it in the wilderness before, but it's different from this one. You can kill with a gun..."
"..."
Facing everyone's doubts, Lu Xin flicked the cigarette ashes and said, "It's very simple. This is a mutation."
"Mutation?"
There was a gasp of air all around.
Everyone's hearts were suddenly filled with panic. "Damn it, can a madman mutate?"
"It's over! The mutated madman suddenly appeared inside the high wall. There won't be another chaos, right?"
"... Brother, if there is more chaos, will you let us go?"
"..."
"It's okay."
Facing the panicked people around, Lu Xin felt that it was necessary to educate them about the science to eliminate the panic, and said with a smile, "There won't be a big chaos like before. Now all the High Wall Citys have experience, and there are some... special people to guard them. Besides, many targeted technologies have come out now. Even if you encounter a madman again, it won't be as chaotic as before."
"No matter how powerful the madman is, a high-frequency ion cannon will hit him and kill a large area!"
"..."
Lu Xin's explanation, or the ease in his words, had a very soothing effect on the people around him.
He breathed a visible sigh of relief, and the guy who had been making trouble just now didn't say anything.
Lu Xin can also feel the admiration for him in these people's eyes, which feels quite comfortable.
"Brother, what do you do?"
An older guard took out a pack of cigarettes with purple filters from his pocket that he was reluctant to smoke.
He carefully weighed one out and gave it to Lu Xin.
Lu Xin glanced at him, threw the cigarette to the ground, stamped it out, took his cigarette case, gave him the cigarette he weighed out, then touched one himself, lit it on the fire given by others, and sighed softly:
"I work in a business company in Qinggang. I was promoted not long ago and am already a supervisor."
"Awesome, young and promising..."
"Sure enough, it turns out that this eldest brother is a person of some status. He must be earning a lot, right?"
"..."
There was a sound of patting the horse all around, and then someone asked, "How did this big brother get in?"
Lu Xin took a puff of cigarette and sighed, "I shot someone with a gun."
People around him suddenly became nervous. "Damn it, was it shot inside the wall or outside the wall?"
Lu Xin said, "Inside the wall."
A group of people suddenly became more nervous. "Is the person dead?"
Lu Xin shook his head. "Probably not."
"That's okay..."
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, "It shouldn't be too serious, right?"
"I don't think so..."
An old guard asked worriedly, "Did you bring a gun into the city?"
Lu Xin said, "No, I grabbed the gun from the police officer next to me.
Everyone around was stunned. "Fuck..."
Lu Xin said, "Then I shot all the bullets from both magazines into him in front of them."
People around were shocked. "Fuck..."
Lu Xin said, "That person should have a good background, and his family relationship is unusual..."
"..."
The people around him were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.
Lu Xin Seeing how panicked they were, he was a little worried himself and hurriedly said, "Under normal circumstances, how many years would this be?"
The old guard took a breath and lowered his voice. "Little brother, you have a big problem. You grabbed a gun, seriously injured someone, and shot so many bullets. It is unlikely that you will survive... In addition, if the family really has a background and a high status, put some pressure on the Administrative Hall. I think... If you are lucky, you can be in trouble for the rest of your life..."
Lu Xin was also a little confused when he heard this. "Fuck..."
While talking and chatting, the chaos outside disappeared at some point, and the dim light of dawn also filtered through the small window.
Everyone had been nervous all night, and by this time, the one with a big heart had already fallen asleep against the wall.
"Kakakaka"
Suddenly, the sound of hard-soled heels on the cement floor came from the corridor outside. The sound kept getting closer, and then there was the sound of the iron door opening and closing. Many people in the warehouse suddenly became alert, got up in panic, and looked outside.
Lu Xin didn't sleep well at this time, worried that he would be in trouble for the rest of his life.
He looked up and looked out. Hearing the movement, he didn't sound like a madman.
"Who is Lu Xin?"
Soon the footsteps came to the front of the warehouse, and they saw a few people wearing military uniforms or black suits. They all had serious faces and looked very capable, with no unnecessary expressions on their faces. Even after seeing these guards huddled together with the prisoners, and some of them even sleeping disheveled and bleary-eyed, their expressions did not change much, and they just asked coldly.
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised and raised his hand. "I am."
I suddenly felt worried. Is it because you came to see me so early because of the beating yesterday?
"That's you?"
These people took a look at Lu Xin, who was holding his pants in one hand and looking a little nervous, and then got out of the way.
"Kakaka"
Footsteps sounded again, and a woman wearing a slim-fitting casual black suit and short hair appeared outside the fence.
She glanced at Lu Xin, suppressed a smile and said, "How did you spend last night?"
"Ah this..."
Lu Xin was a little surprised when he saw this woman. He wiped his eyes hard before he was finally sure.
"Chen... team leader?"
The short-haired woman who appeared outside the fence was none other than Chen Jing.
Lu Xin never expected that in this situation, Chen Jing would suddenly appear in front of him.
"Open it!"
Chen Jing finally laughed, but stopped it, kept a serious expression, and stepped aside.
In fact, the iron fence was unlocked to begin with, and the guards came in on their own initiative last night.
Lu Xin walked out with his pants lifted. He looked serious when facing Chen Jing, but in fact he always had a smile hidden in his eyes. He also felt a little embarrassed.
I met an acquaintance from Qinggang at Central City, who was still my leader, still in the detention center, and...
... I don't even have a belt now.
"Get his stuff."
Chen Jing noticed Lu Xin's embarrassment and said to the person next to him, "Especially his belt."
With that said, he led Lu Xin out. After walking out of this long corridor, he saw that in the hall, the corpse of the monster killed last night had disappeared, leaving only patches of black scorch marks on the ground, surrounded by eye-catching lines.
Lu Xin's things were not touched. His bag, the contents of his pockets, and his belt were all taken over.
"Let's go, there are still very important things waiting to be done."
Chen Jing waited for Lu Xin to clean up himself, then said to him with a smile.
"Leaving now?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look back at the warehouse, and then at the people who accompanied Chen Jing. He felt a little unreasonable in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "I was imprisoned here because I shot someone..."
"Wouldn't it be good if we just leave like this?"
"..."
"What?"
The few people who came with Chen Jing were a little stunned and looked at him strangely.
What, are you still addicted?
Chen Jing took a low breath, turned around, looked at Lu Xin seriously, and said loudly, "Mr. Lu, we have investigated what happened last night. Earth Group Warehouse Management Department Quality Inspection Supervisor Zhao Hui is suspected of being related to the leakage of confidential information at a subordinate experimental base of Central City Research Institute. It also has some evil intentions when it comes to Hongling City, the head of a certain team Gao Ting!"
"As a brave citizen of Qinggang, you did what you should do, and you should be rewarded for it!"
"Of course, you robbed police officer Central City Satellite City No. 7 of his gun and caused serious personal injury to Zhao Hui. This in itself is also a serious violation of discipline and you need to be punished. But now, considering that the situation is urgent, your cooperation is needed. In addition, after the shooting incident, you took the initiative to return the empty gun and surrendered. If you have a good attitude of pleading guilty, you can also be given a lighter sentence as appropriate!"
As she said that, she took out a piece of paper with a red seal and formally said to Lu Xin, "Now our Qinggang office in Central City has officially submitted an application to Central City General Administrative Hall to temporarily take you out to help deal with an emergency pollution incident."
"The punishment that you have not fulfilled will be compensated in the form of credit or a fine."
"Of course."
She put the paper away and finally couldn't hold back her smile, but she still said seriously, "The fine has been paid for you."
"Ah this..."
Lu Xin looked at Chen Jing blankly, and his heart was suddenly moved.
My cat is about to give birth and I'm so nervous, so do you have to give me a ticket?
