How come it's the end

Glancing at Jiuhua, who was sitting upright on the sofa without moving, Sen Luo poured two glasses of water out of disposable paper cups, held one for himself, and put the other in front of Bai Shengxin.

"Old Bai," he said tentatively after thinking about the wording, "Cen Cen hasn't come back yet, you have locked her ability, she has such a temper, wandering around by herself, I don't know if something will happen to her?"

Bai Shengxin took a sip from his water glass, looked out the window, and said nonchalantly, "It's daytime now, what could happen."

Looking at the hospital building and seeing the people coming and going there, he asked, "Did you find out, when is the convoy leaving?"

Seeing that the other party obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, Sen Luo could only obediently answer: "Nine o'clock."

"Has everything been packed?" Bai Shengxin asked.

"It's all ready, the car and gasoline, and the water along the way..." Sen Luo said, his voice gradually subsided.

After hesitating for a while, he plucked up his courage and asked again: "Old Bai, are we really going back like this instead of visiting Mingzhu City? Although the church attacked the association, something may have happened to Lingling and Ah Xiang. Right now It’s such a mess, maybe where are they hiding? There are also things that the higher-ups told us to retrieve..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Shengxin sighed.

He asked Sen Luo: "Cen Cen doesn't even think that Lingling has the possibility of surviving, what are you daydreaming about here?"

Sen Luo's expression became awkward, and he pursed his lips, not daring to continue to argue on this point.

"But the task..." he said weakly.

Bai Shengxin said: "The higher-ups asked us to support the association and the military region, and to retrieve a valuable item kept in the association. But now that the association has fallen and the military region has been destroyed, since we already know the situation, of course we should report back to the higher-ups as soon as possible. What is the reason? Do you want to continue wasting time for nothing?"

That's not the case.

Sen Luo thought to himself.

It is true that he also thought that Dong Lingling and Fang Xiang's chances of surviving were very low, but he hadn't searched for them before. Is it really okay to just give up the last hope?

As for the task assigned by the superior, Bai Shengxin's statement was even more weird.

Before that, he felt that Bai Shengxin's attention seemed to be completely focused on the military region. He came to Mingzhu City not so much to meet friends, but for missions, and his purpose was more like looking forward to direct contact with the military region.

Sen Luo understands that his friend has been depressed all the time. Due to sensitive identity issues, he has the honor of the eighth knight for nothing, but he just puts it there like a vase.

Due to the Empress's prestige, when people from a relatively well-known family in the empire met Bai Shengxin on the street, they had to carefully hold the arc of their smiles when they greeted each other, so as not to be passed on to the Queen's ears by those who wanted to say that they were forming a clique for personal gain.

Sen Luo never doubted his friend's excellence, but this excellence was only reflected in his abilities.

Accustomed to seeing all kinds of spirits in the imperial capital, Sen Luo didn't think that Bai Shengxin had the ability to compete with them on the same stage.

And that's actually a good thing.

Sen Luo thought more than once, if Bai Shengxin really had the qualifications of the Radiant Empress, it would be impossible to sit in today's position in peace.

Bearing the title of the eighth in the empire, even if he has no power in his hands, even if it is Her Majesty the Empress, she will not show any apparent disrespect to him.

To put it bluntly, Bai Shengxin's current status is exactly the affirmation and praise of the mediocre half-brother by the Empress Guanghui.

Bystanders are clear, authorities are obsessed, Bai Shengxin himself does not think so.

In terms of ambition, he is not really ambitious.

It's just that he has grown up in the center of rights and interests since he was born. The only way he understands to realize his own value is to hold power.

This is also the reason why Shiyu told Xiao Ning to stay away from Bai Shengxin, calling him stupid and troublesome.

Mediocre but unwilling to be mediocre, stupid but not stupid to the end, unambitious but in a high position.

It's not big treachery or evil, nor is it sticking to principles. If you want to achieve your goals, you must hold your conscience firmly.

Being in the imperial city that cannibalizes people but does not spit out bones, chasing is indeed a naive and ridiculous realization of one's own value.

It's like an ostrich growing in a group of colorful phoenixes. It doesn't realize its own difference, but only admires the beauty of the colorful phoenix soaring in the sky.

Once he is allowed to seize the opportunity, he will jump into the abyss surrounded by colorful clouds, but the bottomless bottomless...

It's fine if I obediently fall to pieces, I'm afraid that I will drag a few backs when I die.

Sen Luo didn't think so deeply and thoroughly, he was just vaguely uneasy, feeling that the friends who grew up together since childhood have become a little strange recently.

This strangeness caused haze and fear to grow in his heart.

Glancing at Jiuhua, Sen Luo lowered his eyelids and rubbed the center of his brows tiredly.

"I'll go find Cen Cen." He said and walked out the door.

"She'll come back after she figured it out," Bai Shengxin called to Sen Luo, and said, "Go and see the convoy. Once they're ready to go, our side will be ready as well."

Sen Luo didn't quite understand Bai Shengxin's thoughts, and replied: "It's not necessary, even if we want to return to the imperial capital, don't we have to go with their convoy?"

It's not like civilians who have no power to restrain a chicken, they can only hug together and seek the protection of the strong.

There are three of them, oh no, there are four of them now, and it would be more convenient for four of them to act independently than to follow the convoy.

Although Bai Shengxin gave an explanation for this, it was still difficult for Sen Luo to understand.

Bai Shengxin showed a strong interest in the team's leading ability users, and it seemed that he wanted to build a good relationship with them on the way back to the imperial capital, and even planned to draw them into his command.

Sen Luo can understand Bai Shengxin's thoughts, but what he doesn't understand is his friend's way of beating around the bush.

The position is detached, the strength is crushing, and if you want to show favor to the other party, whether it is to be gentle or to demonstrate, there are obviously more straightforward and concise choices. Even if you go directly to negotiate conditions and use benefits to win over, it is more reliable than the so-called "cultivating feelings" Bar?

But no one would care about his thoughts, Sen Luo didn't say much, followed Bai Shengxin's order, went out to the hospital and kept an eye on the movement of the convoy.

Half an hour earlier, Xiao Ning met with Ma Guohua and Qin Hao, called Xu Kai, He Wen and Zhan Yao, and had a simple meeting.

Before he could figure out how to bring up the incident of the Holy Disciplinary Army that was supposed to appear, Xiao Ning heard Ma Guohua say worriedly: "Captain Xiao, just now Bai Shengxin asked someone to say that they will go north with our convoy back to the Imperial Capital in a while. .”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning frowned and asked, "What do you mean, why do they have to go with our convoy? What about the hundreds of people in Tongchuan County, how are they going to arrange it?"

Ma Guohua shook his head, showing hesitation, and answered with difficulty: "I haven't heard... Maybe I don't care about it?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, with a trace of sadness and indignation in their hearts.

Hundreds of lives have been lost, and it’s not necessarily anyone’s responsibility, but helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, saving people doesn’t mean you rush into the wolf’s den to protect people for a while, and then pat your ass and go away , and left people in the wolf den.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much," Xiao Ning thought for a while, and comforted everyone, "There are quite a few capable people in Tongchuan County right now, didn't those few perform well last night? Looking back, you will take all the capable people here. Come here and explain the situation to them..."

At this point, he couldn't go on talking.

Xiao Ning thought of Mingzhu City. After awakening, there are very few capable people who are willing to shoulder the responsibility to protect civilians. What's more, those who joined their convoy last night were obviously a group of people who put their own interests first and knew how to weigh gains and losses.

Bai Shengxin and the three of them stayed, but they still couldn't stabilize the hearts of these people.Once he knew that the supernatural beings were going to leave, he probably didn't intend to leave, so he hurriedly begged to hug his thigh to make a living by himself.

Take the survivors from Tongchuan County on the road together?

This is even more needless to think about.

The team is currently close to saturation. Although the number of capable people is gradually increasing, the manpower is still tight.

What's more, if there are many people, there will be mixed thoughts. In fact, more than half of the group that came out of Mingzhu City at the moment were protected by Xiao Ning from various places in the Construction Bureau on the night of the first blood moon.The rest have also seen Xiao Ning's power with their own eyes. It can be said that they did not choose to stay because they believed in their hearts that following Xiao Ning would have a better chance of surviving.

Therefore, with Xiao Ning in charge of the team, there is no need to worry about trouble.

The group in Tongchuan County is different. They have preconceived ideas, first they have seen Jiuhua, and later they have Bai Shengxin.No matter what the team members say, they won't really admire Xiao Ning in their hearts.

It's easy to handle with few people, and give him a service if you don't obey.

But if hundreds of people poured in at once, it would be difficult to control it.

Ma Guohua's headache was not limited to the safety of the masses, he was also concerned about the Jiuhua incident that Xiao Ning had mentioned.

If Bai Shengxin wants to go on the road with the convoy, he will definitely bring Jiuhua with him.

This also means that sooner or later the convoy will come into the sight of the church and may even be targeted.

One problem after another, but none of them can lead to a proper solution right away.

Xiao Ning kept his face calm, calming people down with a calm demeanor, crying like a dog in his heart, holding the cotton candy and refusing to let go.

"I'm so stupid, really, just knowing that Bai Shengxin is an idiot, I'm still negligent in guarding against it!"

"...I don't blame you," the system patted the host's dog's head, giving rare gentle comfort, "Life is always full of accidents, who would have thought that idiots would start dragging people into the water so soon, don't cry, don't cry, we Let's find the boss to get rid of Bai Shengxin?"

Xiao Ning shook his head: "...What are you doing? What are you talking about, Tang'er, are you originally a system with this kind of setting?"

"Once and for all." The electronic voice of the system was ruthless.

It would not be of much use to continue the discussion. Xiao Ning announced the adjournment of the meeting, saying that he should not think too much about it, and the team will start as usual, so that everyone should not waste time.

Standing casually on the side of the street with his back against the wall, Xiao Ning lit a cigarette and began to seriously think about ways to get rid of Bai Shengxin.

Although I don't know what the other party wants to do, but it is certain that they have plans for the team.

But to be honest, so many problems have been added to the team in just one night. If he is really allowed to follow the road, who knows what the fuck this idiot can do? !

After taking two puffs of a cigarette, it was suddenly picked up by a hand stretched out from the side.

That hand didn't move the cigarette, as if it was specially held for Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning smiled, and took a puff with the other's hand.

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Yu asked after returning the cigarette to Xiao Ning.

"Boss," this is the first time Xiao Ning has said what he calls Shiyu in his heart, he asked, "Are you interested in eliminating harm for the people?"
