"What?!" On the speeding car, Xiang Yu turned pale with shock, "There is an underground passage between Jishi Hospital and the Salesian Hospital?!"

"Strictly speaking, the construction of the subway line started many years ago. The location of the Jishi Hospital and the Salesian Hospital were originally prepared to build stations. At that time, most of the underground tunnels had been dug through, and steel rails had already begun to be laid on some sections of the road. Well, after the disaster came, the project would naturally come to an end." Su Xian looked cold and serious, "After all, it happened many years ago, and it was underground construction, plus so many people died more than 20 years ago. , There are very few people who know about the underground tunnels in Dongcheng District."

He sighed deeply: "It's the first time I know too."

"So, there must be a secret entrance in Jishi Hospital, and Jiang Qiyan escaped from there!" Xiang Yu said, slapping his thigh, "Damn it! No wonder I can't find it no matter how hard I try!"

Su Xian recalled the phrase "digging three feet to find him" when he was so angry. Now that he thought about it, it was a mistake, but digging three feet is definitely not enough.

"We split up. One group of people will go to Jishi Hospital, and the other group will follow me to the Salesian's Home." Su Xian's eyes were as dark as water, "There should be entrances leading to the underground in these two places... One place is their base camp!"

Su Xia actually prefers the Salesian's Home. After all, Jishi Hospital is a big place, and there are so many people coming in and out every day, and there are many people with mixed eyes.

But the Salesian Hospital is different, it is located in a remote place, there are not too many people, and there is Ding Dacheng in charge, so it is much more ideal than the Jishi Hospital, which is very popular.

But just to be on the safe side, Su Xian still sent someone to Ji Shi Hospital.

"By the way, regarding the entrance, I looked through the architectural drawings of Chai Hospital and found that there is a building that was built almost 20 years ago, and the others are old buildings. You should focus on that building. I guess the entrance is at There."

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about the entrance to the Salesian's Home?"

Su Xian rubbed his eyebrows: "I don't have time to look for the drawings of the Salesian Hospital now... Fortunately, it's not as big as Jishi Hospital there, and I know it well."

Even that Zhu Mengqing didn't know what was going on behind the scenes at the Salesian's Home, which meant that Ding Dacheng was really tight-lipped... Then, the entrance would most likely be located where only he would go.

Su Xian guessed that it should be in his residence, such as a bedroom or something.

Back then, that woman insisted on relocating the sales nursery to the site of Bofeng Biopharmaceutical Company, she really had ulterior motives.

Presumably from that time on, their plan began.

What Xiaotao said was absolutely correct, it was indeed something that only a lunatic could do, it was completely unbelievable.

Su Xian really couldn't figure out why those people slapped their heads and came up with such a stupid and crazy idea.

He couldn't figure it out, and neither could Yu Wan back then.

So she died.

"The symptoms of my insomnia at night have become more and more serious recently, so that I am in a trance during the day, and I always feel that someone is following me. It seems to be the sequelae of lack of sleep, which creates an illusion."

This is the last sentence in Yu Wan's diary.

Su Xian tightly clutched the old cover of the notebook, his knuckles turned white, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

That was not an illusion, his mother's death that year was definitely not an accident!

"Lu Yuan escaped?!" Huo Jing grabbed the collar of the security officer who came to notify, and asked in a bad tone, "There are so many of you here, yet you let him escape? Are you a bunch of idiots?! "

Not only was he intentional or unintentional, he scolded Deputy Director Ren together, and the colleague who was strangled by the neck wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd: "How do you talk? Do you think we are willing? The sudden appearance on the way A large group of alien species, we were unprepared, we were killed by surprise, they lay on the windshield, blocking the view, the car directly crashed into the house on the side of the road, many people were injured, and almost lost one Brother... Ren Ju is also seriously injured!"

"Alien species?! Or a large group?" Huo Jing felt incredulous, "Could it be that you guys drove to the west city?"

The other party took the opportunity to break away from his restraint, and argued angrily: "How is it possible? We didn't know that there were so many alien species hidden in Dongcheng District, and..."

His expression changed slightly, and Huo Jing asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"I always feel that those alien species are different from what we usually deal with."

Huo Jing thought his words were looking for excuses: "What's different? Has it mutated again?"

"Maybe it's true!" His colleague suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Did you know? The group of those who smashed the car windows, blocked the view, and after the collision, they split into two groups, some of them swarmed up to attack us; Some of them headed towards Lu Yuan, but not only did they not do anything to Lu Yuan, they even broke the shackles for him... I doubt they were sent by Lu Yuan!"

After hearing this description, Huo Jing's face was also full of surprise: "They have such a clear division of labor, it was indeed impossible for them to happen in the past."

"Not only is there a clear division of labor, but also well-trained, okay?!" The colleague yelled, "It's as if someone is directing..."

He said and patted his chest again: "Fortunately, we have wiped them out in one fell swoop!"

"Maybe someone is really behind the scenes..." Huo Jing murmured, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression froze, "If it wasn't for this ambush, we would never have known that there were so many alien species hidden in Dongcheng... except for those who attacked you. Those, will there be a larger number lurking?"

The security officer suddenly changed his face after hearing this: "This...this...can't it?"

Huo Jing frowned and asked, "How many people are still in the bureau now?"

"Not too many. Except for the part that couldn't leave, some of the rest went to the West City to perform duties, and the other part was borrowed by Su Xian. His case has not been investigated yet."

"He's the one who has trouble!" Huo Jing snorted coldly, "If something really happened to Dongcheng, we would never be able to find anyone! Do we have to count on those trash from the Comprehensive Management Bureau?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang suddenly.

Huo Jing suddenly had an ominous premonition. He took a deep breath and picked up the microphone.

"Suddenly a large number of alien species appeared on the streets and alleys of Dongcheng District, attacking the citizens wantonly, causing many deaths and injuries so far! You all come to support!"

The call came from the headquarters, and Huo Jing gasped for breath. He actually hit the mark. He really encountered such a bad situation.

"I'm still in the training camp, and I'll bring the available people as soon as possible!" He promised and asked again, "Where's the No. [-] office?"

"Most of the people in Institute No. [-] have been taken away by Su Xian. I don't know what happened, and I can't get in touch now. But if they encounter a foreign species, they will definitely not sit idly by..."

Huo Jing hung up the phone with a very ugly face: "Trash!"

He prepared his weapon, put on his coat again, and opened the door while buttoning it up: "It's not too late, let's go now!"

When he first heard that Lu Yuan had escaped, the first thing he suspected was Deputy Director Ren.

In any case, Lu Yuan is likely to be related to him by blood, presumably he knows this himself, so it is entirely possible for him to play favoritism.

But after that, it was a strange species, still such a strange species, Huo Jing couldn't figure it out... At the same time, he also felt that this matter should have nothing to do with Deputy Director Ren.

No matter what, it's impossible for the deputy director of the Management Bureau to collude with other species, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he had a face-to-face meeting with a person and almost ran into him.

"Ah, Instructor Huo, good evening!" Zhong Yuncong saluted, and then handed over a neatly copied and meticulously drawn homework with both hands, "I've copied it, come and hand in the homework..."

Huo Jing was so anxious right now that he didn't have time to pay attention to him at all. With a gloomy expression on his face, he directly pushed the person aside: "Get out!"

Zhong Yun was caught off guard, bumped his shoulder against the wall, and grinned in pain, but he was very puzzled. Although Instructor Huo usually didn't have a good attitude towards him, he seldom used it.

And he didn't mess with him at all today!

But seeing his hurried appearance, not as calm as usual, could something serious happen?

Thinking of this, he ran after him: "Did something happen..."

Huo Jing went straight to a car, and was about to open the car door, when he heard his question, his eyes turned cold, and he stabbed at him like ice: "Shut up, and go back to the dormitory obediently, otherwise, don't Blame me for being rude!"

Zhong Yuncong swallowed, and turned to look at the other security officer.

The other one was obviously more kind than Huo Jing, and he persuaded him nicely: "A large-scale alien species suddenly broke out in the city, and now the bureau is short of manpower, we have to go back quickly to support, you go back and stay , it's dangerous outside, don't run around!"

Zhong Yuncong was surprised: "How could it be? Isn't the east city separated from the west city? Why are the alien species..."

"It's not clear yet." The magistrate shook his head and sighed. "Besides, the alien species I met this time is very unusual. It seems that the IQ has returned. All of them are shrewd and cunning, as if someone ordered them..."

"An alien species that listens to someone's command?" Zhong Yuncong suddenly remembered something, his back turned cold, and he looked at Huo Jing with burning eyes, "Instructor Huo, I am not joking with you...I have seen such an alien species before. , I know who is behind them."

Huo Jing looked at him in disbelief.

Xiao Tao forgot when was the last time she was sober.

These days, she has been stuck in a drowsy sleep for a long time, as if wrapped in a whirlpool, muddled, but unable to get rid of it.

When she opened her eyes, she couldn't even adjust to the light, and the fragile cornea was stimulated and secreted tears.

She closed her eyes again, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao Tao, you finally woke up, why are you crying..."

She heard a clear and pleasant voice, and opened her eyes in confusion. After her vision gradually became clear, she saw Jiang Chuchu's beautiful face.

"It's you..." She murmured, for Jiang Chuchu, her mood was too complicated.

"Are you okay? Have you been in a coma for a long time?" Jiang Chuchu held her cold hand. Unlike before, this time, her palm was warm.

"Your hands are so cold... Is it because of me?" Jiang Chuchu put her hands on her face, "Brother said, because of you, I was cured...but you became In this way, I am really sorry!"

All I lost was some blood, but there were two girls who lost their lives because of you.

Xiaotao closed her eyes, but finally said nothing.

If Jiang Chuchu found out about this, then her two family members would probably die.

"Why don't you talk... are you angry with me?" Jiang Chuchu asked anxiously, "If I knew it would make you so weak, I wouldn't have cured you, but at that time I was injected and nothing I don't know... When I wake up, the illness will be cured... I don't know what happened..."

Xiao Tao's pale lips moved: "No, I'm not angry with you...I'm just..."

Looking at the familiar white walls and ceiling lights in the room, she laughed at herself: "I just didn't expect that I tried my best to escape, but in the end I returned to the original point."

"Ah?" Jiang Chuchu didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask any more when she saw Xiaotao's sluggish expression.

She held her hand tightly, hoping to warm her up too.

After a while, Xiaotao asked in a low voice: "Chuchu, why are you here? Is he... your brother brought you here?"

"Well... I don't know what this place is. It's cold and humid here, and my brother won't let me go out, so I can only stay in the same room every day. It's almost the same as before." Jiang Chuchu sighed deeply, " I don’t even know what’s the point of getting the disease cured.”

Xiaotao opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"And..." Jiang Chuchu suddenly became a little at a loss, "I don't know what's going on recently...I...I..."

She stumbled, Xiao Tao frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Her eyes fluctuated, and she said quietly: "I always feel... a little uncomfortable."
