into the sheath

He Mu followed behind Jiang Feng.He deliberately took a step behind, and stopped after the first door of the passage was closed.

Aware of this movement, Jiang Feng stopped walking forward, then turned to look at He Mu with indifferent eyes.He didn't speak, but was waiting for He Mu to initiate the conversation.

The undercurrent that had not completely subsided just now suddenly surged up again.

After nearly half a minute of stalemate, Jiang Fengban narrowed his eyes, but he was the first to speak: "He Fuzhi." When he spoke, his voice was gentle, but the threat and warning in it were obvious, "Some words, if you really want to It's hard to talk about, but I also want to know: You can stay in this position now, I'm giving Xiao Hui face. Don't take yourself too seriously."

Jiang Feng paused, watching He Mu's gaze deepen, "After all, the bug swarm is imminent, and neither you nor I want to see anything happen to the person in charge of Target City at this point in time."

"..."

What He Mu wanted to say was blocked in his throat, like a beast being choked by the throat in an instant.

He Mu was transferred to this South No. 37 target city a year and a half ago.After the initial temptation, he also thought about completely taking over the power of the target city to himself, but as soon as this plan took shape, Jiang Feng interrupted the next action.

This guide swiftly and swiftly replaced all the key personnel in key positions, and then caught a big or small mistake that he had neglected. Most of the forces under the deployment shoveled up—during this period, he was taught a lesson for his schemes.

Xiao Hui didn't respond to this, so he could only endure it secretly.He Mu knew that he had already been regarded as a half-abandoned child.

Thinking of this, He Mu looked at Jiang Feng even more unkindly.

"I just want to introduce you to the current situation of the target city." He Mu said, "I apologize if I caused any misunderstanding to Commander Jiang."

Jiang Feng didn't give any response to this, but just frowned secretly where He Mu couldn't see.

For some reason, whether it's hypocritical or blatant, this kind of coping that should become a part of work routine suddenly makes Jiang Feng feel a little tired.He made up his mind, and before he walked into the second door, he suddenly remembered another sentry who was bluntly bluffing. It tunes the preparation of the five senses.

But this preparation soon came to nothing.

The glance he handed back didn't come, so Jiang Feng could only glance at He Mu who was behind him, and then entered the data center silently.

He Mu's face froze when he saw the coldness in his eyes, and the expression on his face became even uglier in an instant.

This data center is in the shape of a huge oblate sphere. In the center is a scaled-down holographic model of the target city and its surroundings. The small red dots representing the Zerg are densely distributed around, and occasionally a corner is cleaned up. It was soon submerged by red dots again. If people who have not experienced this scene just stand outside the city, it is impossible to imagine how the open space can accommodate these aliens that cannot be captured visually.The arrangement of equipment is similar to concentric circles, and the boundaries between the various functional areas are clear. If we leave aside the more complicated and detailed division of labor here, then in fact, this data center is similar to the one in the transfer station, and it is also dim and tense. , making people seem to be trapped in a ball of cotton called depression, and even the breathing has the illusion of being blocked.

There are more Sentinels here than elsewhere.In order to reduce the sensory burden, those sentinels wore exclusive earmuffs and communication microphones, which made people wonder whether they would choose more rigorous "fully armed" if it was convenient.

Jiang Feng only looked around roughly and then looked away.He is familiar with the situation here, and there is no need to look further at this time.

"The upper limit of the radiation data of the three main cities in the south needs to be increased, and we should make corresponding preparations. It will take five days at the earliest to return to normal there." Jiang Feng said.As he spoke, he turned his head to look at He Mu, whose expression was still cloudy, bluntly showing dissatisfaction.

Jiang Feng said: "Call Mr. Zheng over here."

Zheng Gong is one of the senior technicians in this data center, and she is mainly responsible for the derivation of the model.Jiang Feng's words meant that he was going to directly bypass He Mu.

"...I will give the order down." He Mu said in a deep voice beside him.

"Call Zheng Gong over here." Jiang Feng said, "I don't want to repeat what I said a third time."

……

Tang Heng didn't know why he followed this sentinel here.

This is an indoor training ground. All the equipment and instruments have been put away. At this time, only the flat ground and two people standing opposite each other are left.

I don't know where I got the news, centered on the confronting two people, the surrounding crowd gradually filled with crowds of onlookers, and there was a tendency to gather more and more crowds.There are sentinels and there are guides.

The initial discussion was very small, but amidst the Qi Qi, it gradually became louder, and finally even turned into shouts.Noisy sound is the best stimulant for the Sentinels, instantly turning this training room into a arena where the strongest are respected.

The sentinel who looked like the person in charge of the training room stood aside, watching with his hands behind his back.

Not long after, Tang Heng felt his temples throbbing, and the noise turned into a buzzing, lingering in his ears.

The distance between him and Jiang Feng was too far at this time, and his voice instantly became a redundant burden.Tang Heng could vaguely feel the information barrier trembling, as if it was going to be unbearable.

But Tang Heng didn't want to care so much at the moment.

He has accumulated too much anger along the way, and if he doesn't find an outlet to vent, he feels that he is going to explode.

And the sentinel standing opposite him didn't care about it.

The sentry looked around, and then asked jokingly, "Is your guide not around here?"

"Yes." Tang Heng replied.

"It just so happens that I finished the mission and just disconnected." The sentinel shrugged, "That's fair."

The Quantum Beast of the Sentinel - the black panther was standing nearby, with a pair of glowing yellow eyes, looking at Tang Heng's position without blinking.It seemed to be looking at it, and it seemed to be looking for something. After looking at it for a while, it looked around again.

Its owner asked its question for it, "Where is your Quantum Beast?"

Tang Heng's eyes suddenly showed cruelty, and he clenched his fists tightly, "Where is there so much nonsense?"

Among the onlookers, no one thought that Tang Heng would be the first to attack.The sentinel didn't expect it either, so when Tang Heng's clenched fist swung towards his eyes with a strong wind, he retreated completely subconsciously. Although he dodged in a hurry, he still remembered to bring the black panther back into his mental image .

The fist in the neck was windy, and it almost brushed the tip of the nose.

The attack speed of this punch alone is enough to judge the strength of a sentry.

Seeing this, the leisurely look on the sentinel's face subsided, and then showed a bit of eagerness, and put on a serious look.

Tang Heng saw his transformation, but he didn't care about his thoughts, he only regretted secretly - the flexibility of his body had indeed declined significantly, and he thought that this punch would be able to hit the opponent's face smoothly.Tang Heng pursed his lips, and with unsatisfactory strength, he made a wrong step and swung a second punch instead.

He was still easily dodged by the opponent.

The strength among sentinels has never been ranked according to seniority. Every battle is a fusion of skills, experience and talent, and it is impossible to say which component is more powerful.Because Tang Heng was full of anger in his heart, every shot was a fatal move. He couldn't see the specific system, but relying on the unique reaction speed and connection of the sentinel, it was already difficult for ordinary people to parry.

But the response of the sentinel in front of him did not show much embarrassment.

This easy posture made Tang Heng feel even more angry, and he suddenly remembered Jiang Feng's involuntary stop of his stepping forward just now.

——Because he feels that his strength is far inferior to that of He Mu!

Thinking of this, Tang Heng gritted his teeth, and the speed of his shots was faster and faster, accompanied by his heartbeat gradually beating like a drum.

All the thoughts happened in the blink of an eye. In fact, the two of them shot and counterattacked very quickly. The roles of offense and defense changed back and forth in an instant, and several moves were passed in the blink of an eye.

The body temperature rises with the warmth of the atmosphere.

Tang Heng's high-intensity offensive was completely supported by his excellent physical fitness, and he didn't consider the ability of his information barrier to withstand it. Therefore, under such high-frequency attacks, he became a little dazed after a short while.What is left on the retina is an afterimage of the action, and the reaction time is being stretched indefinitely.

At first he could only fight back instinctively.

Finally, the flaw appeared.

After an attack, Tang Heng made a mistake in predicting the movement trajectory of the sentry, and the original evasive action was delayed by half a second, but it was precisely this half second that made him look more like he was directly sent to the opponent's fist. Down.

Sighs and regrets sounded together.

It took half a minute for the pain in the cheek from the heavy punch to explode suddenly, and the sudden burst of pain made Tang Heng's brain dizzy and his vision blurred.

Perhaps he bit the inner wall of his mouth, and he tasted a rust-like fishy smell.

……

That "Zheng Gong" was a fat middle-aged woman, wearing a pair of rimless glasses. The eyes behind the lenses were sharp, diluting the kindness and harmlessness brought about by her appearance.

When she was led to Jiang Feng, she was still muttering, and she was very dissatisfied with the interruption of her work, but when she saw Jiang Feng standing in front of her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then restrained her dissatisfaction a little .

"Chief." Zheng Gong's attitude towards Jiang Feng was quite respectful. After the salute was over, he added, as if he had just seen He Mu, "Mr. He."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Jiang Feng to ask questions, she said directly: "It's like this, the 'reproduction' speed of the Zerg is faster than we expected, and based on the weather forecast for a period of time in the future, I think the real outbreak time of the bug swarm may be about In advance. Moreover, I think there is a problem with the initial parameter setting of the model. Look, here..."

Zheng Gong spoke very fast, and her familiarity with the business made her habitually bring out abbreviations in the expressions of some terms, which made her narration even more difficult to understand.

Because there are people in Target City who are responsible for data analysis and sorting, He Mu usually does not come into contact with these professional terms. Due to Jiang Feng's presence, he had to show concentration on her words for the sake of his professional image, but After less than three sentences, he couldn't listen anymore.

Jiang Feng saw the impatience in He Mu's expression, but didn't say anything at this moment.

Zheng Gong's words proved his guess very well, and the main reason for the abnormal setting of the model parameters she said was actually the batch of "light sources" that had been placed in the designated positions.

Just in the gap of thinking, Jiang Feng's eyes moved and inadvertently scanned the opposite screen, but his pupils trembled suddenly, and his sight stopped.

If he was not mistaken, the figure that appeared on the screen was Tang Heng?

The emotion in Jiang Feng's eyes moved imperceptibly.

Looking at the background, it should be in an indoor training ground, and he is... discussing fighting skills with another person?It is not difficult to see from the size that the other person is also a sentry, and the fighting between the sentries is so fast that almost an afterimage is left on the screen.

And it was obvious that Tang Heng was in decline.

The surveillance displays in these target cities are not locked, but like a revolving lantern, they show the pictures taken by thousands of surveillance cameras in the city one by one, and each segment will only stay for about 20 seconds-in a sense, its viewing Sex is more important than practicality.

This period of monitoring is quickly skipped.In the data center at this time, except for Jiang Feng, no one else seemed to notice it.

After all, this kind of so-called "discussion" happens from time to time in the target city where most of the residents are sentinels.As long as the hazard warning doesn't appear, it's fine.

Jiang Feng looked away.

"The results, data and causes of the main city's radiation fluctuations will be repeated again."

The fluent words were suddenly interrupted by Jiang Feng, Zheng Gong was taken aback for a moment, and soon regained his thoughts, and continued: "The main value of Nansan is [-]% higher than that of other cities. Considering that Nansan Located in the southeast corner of the southern urban agglomeration, based on this data, the travel route of this bug swarm may be affected, thus deviating from the original deduction track..."

The rotation cycle of that row of monitoring screens is 15 minutes, and when 15 minutes passed, Jiang Feng found that his sight fell on that screen again, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

After this brief moment of hesitation, which was almost equivalent to the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng simply watched the entire scene.

I don't know what happened in these 15 minutes. Tang Heng, who was retreating steadily under the opponent's attack, turned the situation around, and faintly seemed to completely suppress the opponent.The other sentinel was forced to retreat step by step. Seeing that he was about to exit the boundary of the field, he suddenly stopped and turned to the side to avoid it. At the same time, a black panther that jumped out from nowhere was heading towards Tang Heng pounced on his back.

At this moment, another huge tiger also appeared on the screen.

Roar--

Jiang Feng felt that he could almost hear the roar of the tiger.

It is Tang Heng's Quantum Beast.

……

In the first two matches, Tang Heng lost without any suspense, and there were boos in the training ground.

The sentry didn't care much about this, he looked at Tang Heng who was standing still and breathing calmly, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Are you still here?"

"Continue." Tang Heng said.

As soon as the words fell, the next attack followed.The sentry turned sideways to avoid it again, but it was too late to go any further, so it could only fight back, using defense as an attack.

Tang Heng's attack was still fast and ruthless, every time the sentry thought that his physical strength was about to be exhausted and he could take advantage of the situation to fight back, but every time he felt the more fierce attack.The speed became faster and faster, and the skills became more and more pure. The sentry later found out that Tang Heng was even imitating his moves.

This progress is astounding.

In fact, the second victory was not as easy as the performance watched by the onlookers, and in this third game, it became more difficult to win.

Suddenly, no one could clearly see how Tang Heng moved. In short, in an instant, the situation was completely reversed.The defeat of the sentry appeared suddenly, it seemed that Tang Heng had counterattacked by mistake, followed by an elbow, and the man was beaten beyond his strength.

Seeing this, someone on the sidelines yelled and laughed: "Qiao She, you can't do it! Are you tired!"

The sentry pursed its lips.

The mistakes in the connection of movements were so brief that they were almost hard to catch. Before that, he never thought that they could be disassembled in this way.

Finally, he looked at Tang Heng with complete seriousness.

Tang Heng didn't give the sentry any more time to think, and his offensive became more and more difficult to parry.Tang Heng pressed hard step by step, until the opponent had no way to retreat, the neck fist seemed to carry a mighty force, and hit the side of the sentry's neck.

This time, it's either dead or disabled...

The air is still.

Suddenly, the sentry hurriedly backed away, and at the same time, his Quantum Beast flashed out of thin air and rushed straight towards Tang Heng's back.

Tang Heng sensed the approaching danger, but it was too late to stop and defend.

"Roar--"

In the next second, there was a roar of a tiger that was loud enough to shake people's eardrums, and a big tiger with a body length of more than two meters also suddenly appeared, and it attacked the black panther with a big mouth. The black panther, which was taller than an adult man, actually looked petite.

The two beasts immediately fought into a ball.

"Cough." The sentry coughed and said loudly, "I admit defeat."

Tang Heng's attention was originally on the Quantum Beast that suddenly appeared, but when he heard the man speak, he turned his gaze away.

Seeing that person, Tang Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the two of them should have been exchanging ideas just now.

Thinking of the last punch, Tang Heng pursed his lips, and then a trace of annoyance flashed across his expression.

"...Sorry. I didn't control it."

With that said, Tang Heng's eyes darkened.He had to admit that in the second half of the journey, he really wanted to kill, and even at this moment there seemed to be a snarl of torture in his ears.

And the reason why the black panther attacked him was probably because he was eager to protect the master in desperation.

"Cub." Tang Heng rubbed his nose and shouted to the big tiger, "Come back...stop, roll back, don't think I didn't see that you want to give it another paw."

The sentinel named Qiao She: "..."

In response, the tiger stopped biting the black panther's neck, froze again under Tang Heng's scolding, and then retracted the big paw that was about to swing down as if unwilling.

Jumping away from the panther, it roared again and looked back at Tang Heng.

Tang Heng: ...

Tang Heng: Finally had enough hiding, are you willing to come out?

The cub didn't respond, but looked up at Tang Heng proudly, posing as the king of beasts.

The corners of Tang Heng's eyes twitched, and he raised his fist: ... Heh, I will provoke you again.

The cub Dang even roared back not to be outdone, and even turned around, facing Tang Heng in an attacking posture.

Qiao She called his Quantum Beast back, checked and found no obvious injuries, and then felt relieved. He couldn't help laughing while watching the interaction between the man and the tiger.

"Hey, interrupt me." Qiao She said to Tang Heng.

This sound caught the cub's attention, and it recognized him as the owner of the black panther. Seeing him approaching Tang Heng proactively, it couldn't help turning its attack target to him again.

Qiao She quickly put on a gesture of begging for mercy, and then looked at Tang Heng, "Just now we were both on top, don't let your big guy remember me alone."

Tang Heng was silent, only turned his head and continued to stare at the cub with vicious eyes.

Qiao She still wanted to say something, but when he saw the information prompt on the terminal light up, he flipped through it casually, glanced at it twice, and then raised his head to look at Tang Heng.

This time, there was a little more curiosity in his eyes.

"Tang Heng?" Qiao She said, "The superior said that we have a sentry here from the reserve list, and it must be you."

Hearing his name being called suddenly, Tang Heng looked back in surprise, "...it's me."

"Let me introduce myself again." Qiao She's expression suddenly became serious.He stood up straight, and stretched out his hand towards Tang Heng, "I am the vice-captain of the Special Guard, Qiao She. You are welcome to join."
