Chapter 47 Underwater Sharp Objects
In the quiet and deep swamp forest, large tracts of trees rose from the lake water, and a little roots floated on the water surface, revealing the hollow like a cell below.
A speedboat was passing through it.
Gulu~gulu~
The propeller was turning slowly, making a sneaky and weird low sound.
As the water flow stirred, bubbles rose one by one from the dark lake water, breaking through the dark green duckweed connected to the lake surface, rippling out circles and circles of ripples.
"It should be here, haven't been found yet?"
The man controlled the course of the speedboat and asked anxiously the policeman who was sitting in the middle of the ship with a computer searching for something.
At the bow of the boat, there was a squat...or a woman kneeling down, without saying a word, but her eyes kept wandering in the swamp forest, with clouds of worry and sadness on her face.
"Andre, you have to understand that this is not an easy thing. You just told me that your child left the house and drove on the speedboat. I couldn't determine his current location at all, so you have to think about where he might be, because this detector can only detect life within a range of fifty meters... In fact, I don't understand why you must let me come out and find it. I've just arrived here and I'm not familiar with this kind of swamp search and rescue work. You should agree to let Bob and the others help, rather than saying that too many people will scare your children."
Obviously, the police were a little dissatisfied, but while he was speaking, he was still watching the signal changes on the screen seriously.
"You are a policeman. Isn't it your job to find the missing person? We ask for your help to trust you, and other police officers are looking for it in the town. If you don't want to, you can go back now. If my child gets into trouble because of your delay, I promise that you, an outsider, will regret it!"
Andre, whose child was missing, was undoubtedly even worse. He stretched out his index finger and pointed it at the police without hesitation, and the woman at the bow also turned around.
Drop ~
The sudden signal sound made the policeman who looked ugly and prepared to refute turned his attention back to his detector screen, and a red dot appeared at the bottom of the screen.
"5 meters underwater...5 meters underwater?"
At first, the police read the information based on the data displayed by the detector, but the police quickly realized what the data meant and were full of doubts.
There is a large life reaction of 5 meters underwater?
This is not the sea, but the swamp!
The reason why he came here to work is that it is very safe. Unlike various dangerous areas outside, this small town in the swamp area is not only not troubled by monsters from sources of mental pollution, but even ordinary injuries rarely occur. Pythons or crocodiles do not exist here. Even if there are, they have been hunted by local hunters and made into leather for sale.
So what is detected by this detector?
"Did you find something?"
Andrey asked, the light from the bow of the ship did not shine here, his face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
"I noticed that there were... maybe there were creatures like pythons or snapping turtles coming from other places, so we'd continue looking for them."
It is naturally impossible for children to appear 5 meters underwater. The policeman who wanted to say a few more words realized that it was not suitable to talk about other topics at this time, so he casually made an excuse and did not continue, but instead put his attention back to the screen.
Drop ~ Drop ~ Drop ~
Sudden signaling sounds sounded.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the large number of red dots that suddenly appeared on the screen, the policeman's expression stopped. He subconsciously thought that there was a problem with the detector, so he quickly pressed the key to start and prepared to restart.
However, before he could press it down, a dim candlelight lit up in the nearby swamp forest, and it was faintly like the low buzzing sound and the sound of water flowing when the engine was just turned off.
The policeman suddenly stood up, as if something was choking in his throat. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he should say.
He noticed a certain existence approaching, so he stretched out his right hand and pressed the gun around his waist nervously. A data stream lit up in his eyes, cracks appeared on the skin of his left forearm, and a metallic luster flashed inside.
He is not an ordinary person without combat effectiveness. He has received professional training in the police academy and excellent grades, and is very confident in his own strength.
However, as he was ready to draw his gun at any time, he saw the disgusting dark green phosphorescence that appeared in the lake around his speedboat, and the sharp objects that were moving quickly under the water and approaching him.
This moment.
The police stopped thinking.
Or he can't continue thinking.
Because his will does not allow this thing to continue!
......
Boom ~
The orange-yellow fire surged from the stove, and in the black iron pot, several octopus tentacles were constantly curled up due to the fried food, rolling among various dark seasonings.
“Table No. 3, braised pork trotters, salted potatoes, steamed turtle, meaty eggplant, tomato scrambled eggs…”
A waiter ran into the kitchen with the menu that the guest had just ordered, and used thumbtips to pin the back of the previous menu in order. He kept shouting in his mouth, and began to put the prepared dishes into the next plate to prepare to serve them out.
For them, food delivery robots are not allowed to be used because the strange-tempered shopkeeper thinks that the robot is cold and hard and unmannerable, and is incompatible with the restaurant's harmonious and warm atmosphere.
By chance, just as he left the kitchen with dishes, the shopkeeper happened to walk in from the counter outside.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper!"
There was no such thing as before in my heart. Facing this shopkeeper with silver hair but still energetic spirit, the waiter only had admiration.
"Hey~ you've worked hard. I'll get a piece of meat in the kitchen later, go back to add a meal for myself, and eat more!"
Chen Qing squinted his eyes and patted the waiter on the shoulder, turned sideways and asked him to go there first, before continuing to walk into the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, you..."
Nie Qingzhu, who was carrying ingredients, noticed that the old man walked into the kitchen and hurriedly came up to him.
"I have a friend who hasn't seen each other for five years and it's inconvenient outside. You know, it's too noisy, so I'm going to go upstairs first, and I'm looking at you outside. If something happens, she will come to you."
"If Xiaocui didn't let her go out to watch, she wouldn't be able to help in the kitchen anyway. She was complaining to me just now that the smoke here was heavy."
Nie Qingzhu pointed to the girl who was watching here next to her and said with a smile.
"Well, tell her."
Chen Qing nodded and turned around and walked up the stairs on the inside of the kitchen.
This design is not available in many restaurants, because the second floor is also a place for guests to eat, so the more places it can be placed, the better.
Xiangfeng Restaurant is undoubtedly an exception.
Although the second floor is still a dining area, it is limited to the front hall and a lounge behind it. For this reason, there is a special sign outside the door.
Of course, there are very few people who can enter this so-called lounge.
"The person who defeated the Taoist lord in Rongxia City appeared again."
Looking at the audio-visual stick in his hand, the old man took a sip of tea, tidied up his cigarette puff, and said with a sound of the door.
"Didn't it disappear for five years? No response was made to contact us at the beginning, but now it suddenly appears again... Be careful. In five years, the voice and situation at that time had already blurred!"
During the years when the accident happened in Yecheng and the whole federation was in turmoil, whether it was cooperation or simply trying to maintain this one-sided relationship, the Yimeng had contacted Zhu Jue several times, but had no reply at all.
It is precisely because of this that this sudden call made them feel a little scared and alert.
"It doesn't seem to be fake... I have clearly asked about his situation at that time, and the matter between Suzi and him was not so easy to forge."
Taking a sip of cigarette, Chen Qing frowned. It was his way to come up to contact the headquarters after careful consideration.
The video of Zhu Jue riding Baiyaki forcibly killing the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was stored in the federal government and confirmed Zhu Jue's identity as soon as possible. However, not so many people knew about what happened in the square where the puppets burned in Rong Xiacheng. As an eyewitness, Su Zi is a very good witness himself.
"What he wants."
At this time, another old voice suddenly came from the audition stick.
"How do you know he's asking us for help?"
Chen Qing asked with a smile.
"Haha, do you know him early? That's a guy who can't get up early if you don't have anything to help you, expect him to contact you?"
"He knew we had the technology of manufacturing evolutionary agents, so he wanted us to help him make a copy, saying that he didn't have strength and focused as much on ability as possible."
Reposting the request mentioned by Zhu Jue on the phone, Chen Qing walked to the window and looked at the old large pipes outside. In five years, Rong Xia City is becoming another super city!
"Haha, it's his style. After confirming it, take the stuff."
"Are you crazy? This person has disappeared for five years. He was once a first-level inspector of the Yecheng Monster Countermeasure Bureau. If you help him, aren't you afraid of helping us all?"
Obviously, not everyone agreed with the person’s thoughts before.
"After he sends the materials, you will know why I agree... Chen Qing, tell him that you can help. We must take half of the evolutionary meat, otherwise we will not talk about it. I will say so much for the time being. Don't explore his current situation. Just keep in touch, it may be of great use in the future."
The man didn't care about dissuasion at all, and his words were undoubtedly more effective than the other person in Chen Qing.
Chen Qing, who put down the audition stick, contacted Zhu Jue again to show their attitude.
"No problem, as long as it's free... Hello, can you tattoo me a tattoo that others can't see?"
Zhu Jue on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a tattoo shop, asking about tattoos.
"Are you here to find fault?"
