Chapter 7 Shadows in the Night
That night, Li Qing learned a lot of information from Tang Guoqiang in the military camp.
About Lei Laohu - Lei Laohu's real name is not Lei Laohu, but people around him like to call him that, and he himself likes to be called like this, so this name continues.
Before the Doomsday, he was just a middle-level officer, and his brain was not smart. After the Doomsday, his body evolved very quickly, and he was almost terrifying. Many super lives were not as strong as his body. Therefore, even if his brain was not very useful, he occupied the highest position in the entire Jinan Military Region just by relying on his physical advantages and completed an alternative political change.
Of course, the information in it is very fragmented, and Li Qing also pieced it together bit by bit, but he is already sure of one thing - Lei Laohu is probably the mission target they are going to find.
Some words that come from middle and senior military officers are definitely much more useful than those that are said by gangsters. And through conversations, Li Qing also knew that Lei Laohu usually moves in the Jinan Research Institute or the surrounding military camps, and occasionally goes to the beach.
This is all useful information. When Tiantianhei sent Tang Guoqiang away again, Li Qing and Chen Si looked at each other and knew that they were going to take action tonight.
Official news can be waited, but secret means have to come.
At night, Li Qing, Chen Si and others fell asleep in the dormitory first. At around 1 o'clock in the morning, when people were most sleepy, they woke up tacitly together, and then left the dormitory in the dark.
The two of them were like ghosts, one could invisible, and the other was very agile in their senses. The fog and night could act as his cloak to avoid various sentries from afar. They walked in the military camp one after another and one after another, as if they were in a no-man's realm. First, they figured out the structure of the military camp, and then wandered around the area of the highest officer for a while, but they didn't find the person they were looking for.
Finally, the two went to the research institute and made another search, but they did not find any results.
In this world, countries have noticed it before the end of the world, so research institutes are built in every provincial capital city. After the end of the world, these places naturally become paradises for scientists and brain evolvers. Li Qing and the others did not find any strong people in the institute, but saw that there were a lot of research equipment and they were operating well. Obviously, there were brain evolvers working in it.
In each province, it seems that one or two brain mutants can always appear within nearly 100 million people. The probability of these mutants seems to be very stable - about one in 50 million.
Fifty million people - some die, some survive, but basically 50 million living people can have a brain mutant.
After a brief look around the research institute, Li Qing waved his hand to signal Chen Si to leave - there was no harvest tonight, so he could only wait for the official news tomorrow. While the two were about to leave, Li Qing suddenly heard a different breath in the air - it was the sound of wind, the sound of the air being knocked out by a moving object at a high speed.
Li Qing was very familiar with this sound. He could squeeze through the wind when he was on the road or fighting. When Liu Chang and Li Qingshui moved, they could even squeeze the air out of the explosion-like sound. When they came into contact with this sound every day, they could know what it was - someone must be moving at high speed not far away.
Li Qing had a keen hearing. After hearing this voice, he signaled Chen Si to follow him. The latter also knew what he had discovered and followed decisively.
The two of them moved forward one after another. In order to catch up with the sound, Li Qing chased at full speed, and finally bypassed the main entrance of the institute and finally caught up with the sound at the back door. The darkness was mixed with thick fog, and Li Qing could not see the man clearly at first. After reaching a distance of dozens of meters, his mental power was poured into his eyes, and then he saw the man's appearance clearly.
There seemed to be some willow-like wounds on the neck, and the face was a bit ferocious, as if it had been seriously injured before, which made people unable to see their facial features clearly - but this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the man's clothes. There is a pendant on his neck, gloves on his hand, and a strange ninja suit. He was wearing a pair of strange elf leather boots like the Western magic world. This outfit directly told Li Qing his identity - the Trialer.
Only the Trialer can wear such a weird outfit, and only the Trialer will emit a magical aura.
But as Li Qing knew, except for the five people on his side, only Ding Liu and the special forces soldier were left. This man was obviously not one of the two in terms of dress and appearance.
"Did Ding Liu lied to me before?" This was Li Qing's first reaction, "Didn't her team members die? Or did Yu Qiann die?"
Li Qing felt puzzled, but he didn't stop in his hand. He picked up the crossbow arrow and wanted to use the darkness and thick fog to give him a long-range sneak attack.
He could hear the sound, and his eyes could see through the thick fog - the other party might not be able to do it. Because among the major attributes of Li Qing, his perception ability is simply out of the blue, and he can also add spiritual perception. In terms of visibility in the dark, he believed that no trialist at this stage could catch up with him.
But, the man hadn't noticed it before. The moment he picked up the crossbow, the guy suddenly felt it. Although he didn't seem to know where the danger came from, he was a very alert person. While feeling the danger, his figure shrank and he actually crawled into the underground and disappeared.
Just like Tu Xingsun's earth escape, this is the first time Li Qing has seen this kind of magic.
"Danger sensing and earth escape?" He still shot out his crossbow arrow and inserted it into the land where he disappeared. After corroding a large hole on the ground, Li Qing knew that this was not a simple trick - the other party did feel the danger and left.
The figure appeared in the dark night, and Li Qing frowned and looked at Chen Si: "Things seem to have become more complicated, and people from the Willow Sect have also come, and they are not any of the female agents or special forces."
Li Qing said while alerting the surroundings.
"There are other people alive?"
"Well, I saw it with my own eyes, I was here just now." Li Qing nodded.
"Ding Liu lied to us" Chen Si's first reaction was the same as Li Qing, but the inference was just born and rejected by Li Qing again. "I thought so before, but it was irrelevant to think about it again. If those people are alive, there is no reason not to participate in the second task of Liu Chang's encirclement. That is a very important task. If you succeed, you can get luck, and there is no reason to give up for no reason. The most important thing for the trialists is the task. They don't participate in the task, but now they appear. Could it be that Liu Shufang's mission mode is multi-line? Or maybe they just got out of trouble?"
His head was a little big. Just based on the information he knew now, Li Qing could not deduce which one was the real answer, so he waved his hand, "Go back first. I know that Liu Shufang has other people alive and has participated here, so we must be vigilant."
Returning on the spot, on the way back, Li Qing blessed all his mental power into his senses, and only returned to his accommodation after confirming that there was no tail to follow him.
Although I didn’t find the mission goal when I traveled tonight, I didn’t get anything. The whole thing became even more confusing, and Li Qing also sounded the alarm for himself.
The next morning, Tang Guoqiang came over and brought good news - it was said that the highest level of the Jinan Military Region was preparing to meet Li Qing and others.
The news is indeed good. After Li Qing and others washed their faces and tapped them, they walked towards the high-level military conference room in the early morning wind. Li Qing had already investigated it and was quite familiar with it. After following Tang Guoqiang all the way here, he opened the door and came to the conference room on the third floor, but was disappointed to find that it was not Lei Laohu who met them, but the director of the Jinan Research Institute, a brain mutant named Zhang.
Through the self-introduction of both sides, Li Qing knew that this man was Lei Laohu's closest comrade-in-arms. His status in the Jinan Military Region was equivalent to the highest military chief of staff. In addition to military affairs, Lei Laohu also listened to many things - after all, as a brain mutant, this guy has a good brain and must be much better at dealing with things than Lei Laohu.
So in the entire military region, Lei Laohu said he was the highest commander, but the person who handled the most was the person in front of him - it was true that he was the highest commander.
"You said you came from Beijing." After the two sides briefly introduced themselves, Lao Zhang looked at Li Qing and others one by one. Facing the brain mutants, Li Qing had some experience - he knew that these guys could not be deceived at all. They were all as savages as ghosts, and the best way to talk to them was to get straight to the point.
Sure enough, he first glanced at Li Qing and others briefly, and then he was completely attracted to his attention. Then he only stared at Li Qing and others' equipment. Finally, he came to the same conclusion as when the clone Laozi saw them, and was even more convinced: "It's true that you are from Beijing, but you came to Beijing from a further distance, right?"
"Yes." Li Qing nodded.
"What's going on here?"
"Look for Lei Laohu and borrow someone." Li Qing replied, "Let him do some help."
"Help?" Director Zhang waved his hand and asked Tang Guoqiang to go out, and ordered the guards to leave the door, leaving behind a quiet conversation environment. "What are you busy with? If you look for him, do you want to use his body to ask him to help kill someone?"
"Yes." Li Qing nodded. "The willow tree's man."
"We can't afford to provoke willow trees." Director Zhang shook his head, "provoking him is equivalent to dying."
"But if you don't mess with him, I'll come here sooner or later."
"At least not now." Director Zhang walked to Li Qing, "The willow tree is developing north now, and its next goal is Beijing. It may still go north in the future. He will avoid the seaside area because he still has some awe of life here. I guess that there are things he fears in the sea, and he will expand all the way north to Russia, not Shandong."
"No, don't talk, I understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Li Qing was about to speak, but Director Zhang waved his hand, "I understand whether the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but I really don't want to provoke that guy Liu Shu and cause trouble. In fact, you should know that there are limited things we can help here, at most, to help you complete the murder task, but it has nothing to do with the situation. Of course, I can't make the decision on this matter. Whether Lei Laohu will help you or not will have to decide whether he will help you. He has gone to the beach these two days, but he is coming soon. We will discuss this matter when he comes back."
"Actually, even if you don't want to cause trouble, you can't avoid this disaster." Li Qing glanced at Director Zhang, "You should be able to tell if what I told the truth. I can tell you that you have been targeted by Liushu people here. You are the same people as us. You don't have to be afraid of provoking Liushu, because he has arrived."
