How to Feed an Abyss!

Chapter 70: confrontation

The personnel in the welfare center were evacuated, and the law enforcement team came to the door of Wu Zhengqing's room.

The door was unlocked, the captain gestured, and the team members broke in!

However-

The room was empty.

While others were checking under the bed and table, several soldiers pointed their guns in different directions. This small room can be seen at a glance, and the only blind spot is the attic.

The captain climbed the stairs under cover and saw a few books scattered in the attic, the planet model had just been taken out of the collection cabinet, and a backpack was placed on the ground with two cosmic posters just installed in it.

There was dust on the ground, and there were a few fresh footprints.

There are indications that the people here have just left.

"..." the captain cursed silently.

They searched the entire welfare center again and made sure that the person was no longer there.

"We watched him come in." A soldier said, "There is only one exit and one elevator. Team B has been guarding outside, and no one has been seen leaving."

"It's really his grandma's hell." The captain scolded, "Why did this person fly away so well?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment: "The small skylight in the attic is indeed open. We checked, and there is no foothold outside the window, and no one fell to death. It is impossible that he really has wings, right?" He smiled dryly.

The law enforcement team closed the team and left.

Before leaving, they told the staff: "If you see that person named Shi Yuan coming back, notify the law enforcement team immediately."

Wang Yu couldn't believe it, and asked, "What did he do?"

The captain replied: "He is suspected of first-degree murder, and I cannot disclose other details to you."

"Murder? How is that possible!" Wang Yu's eyes widened, "He would never do such a thing!"

"Whether there is a crime or not is something that the court should think about." The captain said coldly, "We have obtained the arrest warrant, and we are only responsible for law enforcement and arresting the suspect. No matter how much you believe it, don't contact him in any way. It's for your own safety."

Wang Yu's face was paler than paper.

"Know people, know faces, but don't know hearts, you should understand this sentence." The captain said before leaving, "We have seen too many examples, and I don't know how many victims believed that the murderer was a good person before they were in danger. Ma'am, I wish you peace , contact us at any time.”

He turned to leave, and suddenly frowned.

"What?" Wang Yu asked.

"...Evacuate immediately." The captain said, "Everyone evacuates immediately. The monitoring center just confirmed that in this tower...the infection wavelength of Abyss 0 appeared."

Abyss No. 0 appeared again? How could the signal be in the city, here?

Too many things happened in a short period of time, and everyone was panicked and confused. Under the command of the law enforcement team, Tower No. 4 was temporarily emptied.

Wang Yu was walking on the way to the station, her thoughts were confused.

Does the admiral know? Did he order Shi Yuan's arrest, or did he not know about it? She thought, Shi Yuan has been staying with General Lu all the time, why, how did this happen? .

However, the scene of seeing Shi Yuan for the first time flashed in her mind—

In the high and low forest, the moonlight was bleak, the queen bee flapped its wings at high speed, and Shi Yuan stretched out his hands to it.

The queen bee opened her six legs to Shi Yuan, trying to enclose him.

It was like predation, and it was like a hug. And Shi Yuan's expression was calm, as if the monster was his kind.

The tram came, and Wang Yu got on.

A group of people who had just evacuated crowded into the car, she took out her mobile phone with difficulty, hesitated again and again, and sent a message to Shi Yuan: 【Are you okay? 】

no reply.

at the same time.

The boy with the first devil horns hid in the alley.

He was in the attic when law enforcement broke in. He has always been afraid of people, his first reaction is to lie low

Body, secretly looked at.

He saw five or six soldiers and the cold guns in their hands.

Shi Yuan didn't know what happened.

But he has an innate, instinctive intuition. This intuition makes the birds return to their nests and the beasts seek blood, and it also makes them move when they hear the wind. He knew that something was wrong, and besides, these people must be coming after him, with a strong hostility that he must avoid.

He must not be caught by them. Shi Yuan had seen how decisive those soldiers were against the enemy, if...if they knew that he was a monster, they would definitely kill him.

He hasn't confessed to Lu Tinghan yet, he can't die yet.

The only exit was the skylight. Before the captain came up, Shi Yuan turned into black mist and fled, hiding in the alley far away.

But Shi Yuan had no idea what to do next.

He stayed like this for five or six minutes. Before he could clear his mind, he heard footsteps approaching.

The patrol team in the whole area is in action, together with the law enforcement team, this place is no longer safe. With such a great momentum, he must have caused a lot of trouble.

The only safe place...the only place that is absolutely safe, without people, is the wasteland.

The footsteps were getting closer, accompanied by the drone of drones.

Shi Yuan stood up, turned into black mist and ran out of the city again.

He hasn't been out of the city for a long time, and the outside of the city is strange and familiar. The sky is still beautiful, the rich colors are like oil paintings, and the weeds are still in a mess. A few insect-shaped creatures ran away in terror. He didn't run far, and came to the nearest bush, sat on a tree stump, stared blankly for a while, took out cell phone.

He wanted to send a message to Lu Tinghan.

It is obvious that Lu Tinghan is the general of the alliance and the person who most wants to kill monsters. He does not hesitate to go to the front line again and again, and he does not hesitate to defend the city at the expense of teachers and students. Lu Tinghan criticized, did Lu Tinghan misunderstand something, and how much did he know the truth; obviously he shouldn't reveal his movements...

Shi Yuan still opened Lu Tinghan's message box.

The cursor jumped, and the last chat record was Lu Tinghan's reply: [Good night, wait for me to come back]

Shi Yuan curled up his tail sadly.

He thought about it and didn't know what to say, so he typed a line: 【Where are you? 】

He didn't send it out, so he deleted it and replaced it with: [There are so many people trying to arrest me, I'm so scared]

He deleted it again, and finally just typed carefully: 【Lu Tinghan, can I see you? 】

He mustered up the courage to hit the send button.

The message popped up, and the prompt symbol turned twice and turned into a red exclamation mark.

Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then sent it again, still with a red exclamation point.

Here is the wasteland.

There are no signal towers, no convoys of military signal transmitters, and mobile phones cannot receive signals.

But he couldn't go back to the city either.

Every time he turns into a black mist, the alliance will monitor him, causing unnecessary confusion every time, and even affecting the battle situation. Besides, the law enforcement teams in half the city are looking for him. If he returns to the city and is found, he will turn into a black mist in desperation, which is tantamount to confirming that he is a monster and an abyss in front of everyone.

If he publicly reveals his identity...

What should Lu Tinghan do?

Someone always knew that Lu Tinghan stayed with him all the time. Lu Tinghan had already received a lot of suspicion because of the watcher, if something like this happened again, I don't know what trouble would happen. He can go back to the wilderness, but Lu Tinghan only has the city, the city he loves so much.

Shi Yuan must never return to the city.

At least, he shouldn't go back until Lu Tinghan comes back.

Shi Yuan tried to send a few more messages and made a few phone calls, but to no avail.

It was getting late, and the black city wall stood in the twilight, silent and far away.

Shi Yuan could still see the city, but he never felt that the city was so far away from him, even when he and Wang Yu looked at the city side by side, he had never been to the city.

City, but also know that they will arrive eventually. Unlike now, the searchlights on the city wall were lit up one after another, and the soldiers stood firm at their posts. He had seen streets and buildings, aircraft and defensive forts, and felt that he might not be able to go back.

Only then did he truly realize that his peaceful life had been shattered.

Everything came too suddenly, too caught off guard. He had no chance to react, no room to resist.

...It was as if Lu Tinghan first appeared in his life many years ago.

Is that the end? On such an ordinary day, he thought?

There was a "rustling" sound from the bushes, and at night, the monsters were restless.

Several fluorescent-colored snakes crawled out, entwined around the vines, and spit out gorgeous letters. The ant colony carries the infected fallen leaves, and the formic acid corrodes the leaves, and a small brown cloud rises. Shi Yuan sat on the tree stump and saw some young trees twisting their roots and running away.

This is the scene he is most familiar with. This is how he came from the wasteland step by step, day by day.

Now, he was going to spend another night like this.

The wind was strong, whining through the forest. Shi Yuan found a leeward place, leaned against an old tree, wrapped his clothes tightly, and wrapped his tail around himself.

He missed Lu Tinghan very much.

He hoped that Lu Tinghan would miss him tonight too.

The aircraft landed in Fengyang City.

Lu Tinghan sat in the office expressionlessly, with lengthy documents laid out on the holographic projection.

He didn't know about the arrest warrant and Yin Zhou until he returned to the city.

Yin Zhou died from the shooting, and the fingerprints on the pistol were compared and found to be Shi Yuan's.

Although no one can explain how Shi Yuan appeared in the wasteland and how he left safely... At least on the matter of guns, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.

Moreover, Lu Tinghan knew why Shi Yuan used a gun.

At that time, there was a shooting case in the city, and the monster's attack became more and more intense. He was worried that Shi Yuan would be in danger, so he personally taught him how to use a pistol.

He remembered how stiff Shi Yuan's gun posture was, and how he taught him to load, load, aim and shoot.

When Shi Yuan used the skills he taught, the first bullet he fired was aimed at the alliance fighters, his subordinates and compatriots.

Another material is about Xie Qianming.

Xie Qianming died due to the parasitism of purple lantern insects.

The convoy killed the queen bee and saved Shi Yuan. And then the queen bee infected by the No. 0 abyss appeared, code-named "Black Queen", whose ability to transcend time caused panic for a time.

Xie Qianming went out of the city without leaving a record, and the driving recorder was damaged, so he had no way of knowing the situation at that time.

On the screen, the information of Yin Zhou and Xie Qianming, as well as the reports of several occurrences of Abyss 0, were listed together.

When you look at the whole thing together, it's very subtle.

There is no record of the two incidents, if you guess in the worst direction... The deaths of Xie Qianming and Yin Zhou were all because they discovered Shi Yuan's identity, or because they had conflicts, so they were silenced. This is also a very reasonable guess, after all, only the dead can keep secrets forever.

But then he remembered—

On the night of the fall of Gleaner City, several defense points took turns to report that the monster retreated for a few rounds inexplicably, as if they were afraid of something, and they had a chance to rescue so many residents;

During the I-level warning, the infection wavelength of Abyss No. 0 appeared in Fengyang City and headed towards Iron City. A few days later, the alliance miraculously received the data of "Overview", and then the infection wavelength returned to Fengyang City ;

After the "heavy hammer" fell, someone brought him out of the ruins, the rock snake dared not get close, and he tasted a kiss of blood and mud.

Lu Tinghan closed his eyes, half of his heart was filled with cold tide, and half with burning fire - even at this moment when he thought of Shi Yuan, his heart was still soft.

He thought, Shi Yuan, what have you done?

Are you really... the one I thought it was?

The adjutant knocked on the door and came in to report: "Admiral Lu, I have asked clearly. The arrest warrant was issued by Lieutenant General Fu Xiu."

Fu Xiu is the second-in-command of Fengyang City. If there is no dispute about an order such as an arrest warrant, there is really no need to report it to Lu Tinghan in detail.

The adjutant said: "The latest feedback from the law enforcement team is that no one can be found, and the search is being stepped up. Do you have any instructions?"

"No." Lu Tinghan said, "If he really wants to leave, no one can stop him." He paused, "However, I know how to see him. He will come back."

The adjutant was puzzled.

Lu Tinghan stood up, put on his coat and walked outside: "He promised to wait for me, and I will always find him. He—he came for me."

18 hours later.

The law enforcement team received a report, and some people claimed that they had seen the suspect on the arrest warrant.

The sighting took place at an abandoned energy tower.

The soldiers surrounded the tower, and they couldn't be too cautious in the face of fugitives suspected of first-degree murder. Aircraft and robots are activated, snipers are in position, but just before the assault begins—

The silver-gray aircraft landed.

A handsome man in military uniform with grey-blue eyes, a pulled-down military cap, and glaringly white gloves.

The captain of the law enforcement team stood at attention and saluted: "Admiral Lu." He was not sure why Lu Tinghan appeared, and reported, "The criminal suspect is hiding here, and we are preparing to break in..."

"No need." Lu Tinghan said, "I'll just go."

The captain was taken aback.

"You stay here, I'll go." Lu Tinghan said, "I'll take care of this matter, and don't shoot without my order."

"He is suspected of first-degree murder, and there is a very high risk, admiral, you..."

"I know what I'm doing, this is an order. And I know how to use a gun better than everyone present." Lu Tinghan said calmly, drew his gun, and went to the energy tower in full view.

Unaccompanied by anyone, he opened the creaking door and walked up the old stairs.

When he was a child, he climbed here countless times to look far away. He never thought that one day someone would be able to stand side by side with him, watching the city, the wasteland, the windmills and the Beicheng District where the broken light flows.

He was also here to confess to Shi Yuan.

Of course Shi Yuan will come here.

He also told Shiyuan that open places are not safe, and Shiyuan would not go to the rooftop.

Lu Tinghan walked up step by step and reached the highest floor under the rooftop. It was pitch black there, and he couldn't see anything, but he seemed to know his direction, and walked towards the corner.

As he approached, the moonlight passed through the broken wall and the exposed/exposed steel mesh, dimly illuminating the figure of a person.

The man had devil horns on his head, black scales at the end of his eyes, and a long tail tied in a knot.

Lu Tinghan looked at him quietly, and called out, "Shi Yuan."

The boy trembled all over, and took a few steps forward tremblingly. He tried his best to restrain himself, but couldn't bear it anymore, and threw himself into his arms. He hugged Lu Tinghan tightly, raised his head and kissed him. It was a passionate and desperate kiss, Lu Tinghan tasted the bitterness of tears.

As expected, he came back as promised and came for him. Lu Tinghan's fingertips moved, allowing Shi Yuan to move.

After the kiss was over, Shi Yuan wanted to pull Lu Tinghan's hand and interlocked his fingers, but what he touched was a cold pistol.

"...Lu Tinghan," he said with tears all over his face, "Are you going to kill me?"
