Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 457 The corpses were all eaten clean
A-level mutant beasts appeared in the dungeon, and some were even relatively rare demon species. After this news came out, the top brass of the base instantly felt a sense of crisis.
A total of thirteen people only managed to escape with two of them. Zhang Xiaoxiao was huddled in the corner of the interrogation room with a towel wrapped around her body. The person interrogating her was a young female officer from the guard team.
Through a glass window, several leaders from the Coordination Department and the Safety Management Department were frowning outside.
"How's the situation with the boys? Did you find out anything?"
The interrogation room on the other side ended ten minutes earlier than this one. The male officer conducting the interrogation reported the situation truthfully: "From what I can see so far, it's basically the same as what the girl said. They encountered the mutant beast in the red danger zone."
"Demon species? Or a mutated demon species? Is this possible?" The coordinating captain paced on the spot and asked in disbelief.
The head of the management department shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. We know that the demon species is already an A-level mutant beast. If it is a mutated demon species, will it be higher in level? But there is also a contradiction here. If there are really mutated demon species in the dungeon, the guard team would not have failed to discover them when they were carrying out the suppression operation."
An accompanying officer said at this time: "Could it be that they mutated? They didn't originally exist in the dungeon, but appeared after we started excavating. I remember that the dungeon was shut down for a while during the extreme heat. The guards didn't carry out any clearing missions during that month. Perhaps it was during that period that the demons had the opportunity to inhabit this place."
"Is it really possible? Then where did they enter the underground city from? The entrances to the underground city are guarded 24 hours a day, unless..."
"Perhaps they entered from underground, or perhaps they opened another secret entrance to the dungeon. After all, the terrain of the Black Danger Zone is complex. Even if we have carried out a clearance mission, we cannot completely clear all the terrain and mutants."
The more he heard people around him explain this, the uglier the captain's face became. If these demons really entered the dungeon from other places and lay dormant for a long time, then it would be a disaster for the entire base.
The head of the management department frowned and looked at the team leader: "I think we should report the situation, and then we need to discuss whether we need to stop opening the dungeon to the public in the near future."
"If we stop opening it, it means that the dungeon is not safe at the moment. Once this news spreads, those powerful people who invested in the dungeon in the early stage will not give up." The captain of the coordination team had thought about this method, but when he thought of the faces of those powerful people, he felt that this would most likely not work.
“But if they are really demons, once their number exceeds the upper limit that can be suppressed, the entire dungeon will be destroyed.
While the two were still discussing how to deal with the demons in the dungeon, the outer door of the interrogation room was broken into.
The people who came were the director of the hydropower plant and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. They were also the fathers of Chen Fangming and Yuan Zhong. They had a great influence in the base. When they learned that their sons were missing in the underground city, they immediately went to the underground city security management hall.
The head of the management department recognized the two men and was about to say hello, but the two men rushed in angrily, pointed at them and asked, "My son has been missing for more than four hours. Why haven't you sent anyone to look for him? Do you want my son to die in the dungeon?"
Yuan Zhong's father seemed particularly excited. Although he usually ignored his son and let him do whatever he wanted, he was actually old when he had the son. Especially after the end of the world when he lost many relatives, he had watched his son grow up even if he didn't make any progress. Now that he knew his son was in danger, he was naturally furious.
"What is your Security Management Department doing? How could so many people disappear in the dungeon at the same time? Moreover, a dangerous mutant beast like the demon species appeared. This matter should be immediately treated as an S+ emergency." Chen Fangming's father was even more agitated. He had only this one precious son, and the family treated Chen Fangming almost as a treasure. In addition, Chen Fangming was a B-level fire-type mutant, and the family originally wanted to send him to a special school. Who knows, he might become an A-level or even S-level mutant in three to five years. Now that his son was in trouble in the dungeon, he simply wanted to eat the leader of the management department whole to vent his hatred!
The commander of the coordinating team had just made a phone call. When he turned around and saw the anger on the two people's faces, he also tried to persuade them appropriately: "This incident was completely an accident. Who would have thought that these children would be so bold as to run into the danger zone? Long before entering the underground city, the broadcast at the entrance and the staff had already reminded all entrants not to step into the danger zone, especially the red and black zones."
"You're talking nonsense. If you really don't want anyone to go in, you should set up a high-voltage power grid along the cordon. Otherwise, how can you stop curious people? Besides, the appearance of A-level mutant beasts inside was not announced before the dungeon opened. Are you still hiding something from us?" Chen Fangming's father became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. When he heard that the people from the Coordination Department wanted to continue to shirk responsibility, he became so angry that he trembled all over.
Just as the two were arguing, the door was pushed open again. This time, a senior leader of the guard team came in. He was wearing a black uniform belonging to the guard team, and there were several stars on the epaulettes on his shoulders.
At present, the guard team still uses the military management system before the end of the world, and the military rank level is still the same as before, but the positions have been slightly adjusted. For example, the positions of company commander and regiment commander have been cancelled and replaced by ministers, captains, and squad leaders. The man in front of him with a scar on the corner of his eye who looks difficult to deal with is the captain of the seventh team of the guard team and also an A-level psychic.
Wang Shu looked at the chaotic scene in the office with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. Then, the supernatural pressure emanating from his body instantly covered the entire space, making everyone feel a sudden sense of suffocation. They knew that this was a warning from a high-level supernatural being.
Behind Wang Shu were several psychics whose levels were at least C or above. Although their levels seemed not as good as some civilian psychics, in fact, the psychics who had been tempered day and night in confidential units like the Guard had strong strength and hunting experience. Even C-level psychics could easily compete with some civilian psychics who had not received formal training.
However, the guard team's entrance exam is too difficult, and the registration threshold must reach at least C-level supernatural powers. In addition, one must pass three tests: written test, practical test, and interview. If any of the tests are not up to standard, one will not be able to pass the assessment.
The examination threshold of the Self-Defense Forces is much lower. Non-supernatural people can also sign up, and those with relevant experience will be specially recruited. However, the salary and benefits of the Self-Defense Forces and the Guard are also very different. The annual salary of the Guard is enough for the whole family to eat and drink well, and accommodation is also subsidized. The salary of the Self-Defense Forces is basically the same as that of some ordinary white-collar workers, except that there will be some meal allowances and attendance allowances every month.
Currently, the Jiangcheng Base Guard is divided into thirteen teams. The "Hunters" and "Light Chasers" are not included in the Jiangcheng Guard because they came from Kyoto. The strength level of each guard team is ranked from 0 to 1. The number of people in each team is about 10-30, but generally the more efficient the team, the fewer people will be.
As the captain of Team Seven, Wang Shu is extremely powerful. All of his twenty-one members are above Level B, and there are even two Level A psychics. Therefore, the fact that the top management sent Team Seven, where Wang Shu is located, to deal with this matter also indirectly shows that the base is very wary of the emergence of demons.
"Isn't this Captain Wang? We can actually let you show up this time." After the captain of the coordination team recovered a little, he strode to Wang Shu. Although the captain of the coordination team was Wang Shu's superior on the surface, Wang Shu held the real power. Besides, there were only a few hundred A-level psychics in the base at present, and there were only more than 5,000 people recorded in the whole of China. This showed how precious high-level psychics were.
The others who had recovered their senses suddenly became quiet after they found out that the person coming was Wang Shu. They were like saw-mouthed gourds and did not dare to make loud noises in front of Wang Shu.
Wang Shu had experience as a mercenary in his early years. He was arbitrary and disliked these so-called powerful people. This time he was sent here to deal with the affairs of the dungeon entirely because he was targeting the demons. As for the life and death of those two second-generation rich people, he didn't care at all.
"What's the current situation? I'll give you one minute to explain it clearly." Wang Shu pulled a stool and sat down, his eyes leisurely fixed on the captain in front of him.
The captain of the coordinating team shuddered, then organized his words and repeated what he had just learned from the interrogation.
"That is to say, all the information about the demon species was provided by these two young men. Although they saw it with their own eyes, there is no substantial evidence. Is that right?" There was a hint of disdain in Wang Shu's voice, and it seemed that he did not quite believe in the existence of the demon species.
The captain looked a little embarrassed, and even maintained a smirk on his face. The director of management beside him quickly explained: "The clues provided by these two people are very detailed. The devil species is confidential information and has not been announced to the public yet, but the morphological characteristics of the mutant beasts described by these two young people are basically consistent with the devil species."
Wang Shu raised his eyebrows and then asked, "Have you used the polygraph?"
"I used it. Both of them passed."
"How much manpower can be deployed in the dungeon at present?" Wang Shu subconsciously touched the ring on his hand, and his expression was much more cautious than before.
The coordinating captain quickly replied: "There are currently three guard teams left in the underground city, with a total of 25 people, and there are 160 Self-Defense Force members left."
After the clearing mission was over, there were only three left of the original eight guard teams in the dungeon, and the strongest among these teams was only a B-level psychic, because most of the A-level psychics were only willing to perform important tasks, and it was impossible to mobilize too many highly registered psychics for tasks like patrolling and placement. As for the Hunter Association, the bid was too high, because most of the patrol missions in the dungeon were assigned to the Self-Defense Forces.
Before Wang Shu could say anything, Chen Fangming's father became anxious and hurriedly urged, "Captain Wang, my son is still in the underground city. He is a B-level psychic after all. He will join the guard team and serve the country in the future. We can't just leave him alone."
Yuan Zhong's father sneered at the side: "It sounds like your son is the only B-level psychic. Even if I am anxious, I will still listen to Captain Wang at this moment."
Chen Fangming's father's face gradually lost color due to the insults, and he cursed in his heart: "This man is so vicious. When he came here, he told me that he would put pressure on the higher-ups, but when Wang Shu came, he immediately became as cowardly as a bird, and even tried to put pressure on him here. It's so hateful! His Yuan family is indeed not in a hurry. Everyone knows that he has many illegitimate children. If this son is gone, he can train another one. It's not like I only have one precious son."
Wang Shu waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "Alright, stop being so petty in front of me. This matter needs to be dealt with, but there are not enough people in the dungeon right now. I can only mobilize eight people. I have to find a way to borrow the rest from the Hunter Association. But you have to know that the Hunter Association doesn't work for nothing."
At this point, everyone present understood what Wang Shu meant. Looking at Wang Shu's attitude at this moment, the coordinating captain couldn't help but despise him in his heart, "This guy is the captain of the seventh squadron. He is obsessed with money. No wonder the captains of the guard teams are so arrogant on weekdays. I guess they rely on their abilities to trample most people under their feet."
The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and the Director of the Hydropower Plant exchanged glances and said at the same time: "Money is not a big deal, as long as Captain Wang can contact the Hunter Association."
At this time, Wang Shu's deputy handed over a note, on which was the account for the transfer.
Ten minutes later, two 200,000 points were deposited into Wang Shu's account. Wang Shu looked at the message on his phone and said with a smile, "I will lead the team to the dungeon in 20 minutes. I want to meet this demon in person."
Half an hour later, including three B-level psychics and five C-level psychics borrowed from the Hunter Association, plus the seven guards brought by Wang Shu, and nearly thirty Self-Defense Force members dispatched from the dungeon, more than forty people drove eight cars deep into the danger zone.
The coordinating team leader and the security director were sitting in the office and receiving real-time images via drone.
The captain couldn't help but worry: "It's been an hour and fifteen minutes since the demon species was discovered. What if something unexpected really happens..."
"It's not just a one-in-a-lifetime chance. If it's a real demon, there's no way it could be left alive. Its body would have been eaten clean long ago. Besides, do you think Wang Shu really went down there to save people?" The management director sneered, his words full of disdain.
The captain of the overall coordination team opened his mouth in surprise, and then heard the other party say: "Wang Shu just wants to catch the demon species first before the higher-ups really send people down, so that it can affect the team ranking next month. And he collected 400,000 points, how much do you think the Hunter Association can actually get?"
The director of management slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After a while, he cursed: "They are all a bunch of profit-seeking people, there are few good people!"
