Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 383 Illuminati
The news of the Illuminati has recently spread among the guards, because the development momentum of this evil cult is so rapid that it has grown to several hundred members in just half a month.
We are now in a period of extremely hot natural disasters, and many people have a negative attitude towards life. The emergence of the Church of Light takes advantage of this mentality of people to stir up the sins and desires deep in their hearts, and even creates an illusory utopian world for people.
In this utopian world, people can freely obtain money and wealth, have equal status, and have no worries about food, clothing, and transportation. It is simply an ideal social paradise.
However, this great ideal is only a beautiful dream, but the Illuminati promises that as long as you join the organization, you can gain superpowers, and as long as you become a superpower, you can compete with the current system of the base.
What they advocate is to turn all members into superpowers, and then work together to resist the current government. Their leader, Mr. Smith, is a great creator. It was he who developed a drug that can turn ordinary humans into superpowers.
In fact, when the government first learned about this organization, the Illuminati had only a few dozen members and was not worthy of their attention at all. It was not until several terrorist attacks occurred recently that the government gradually realized that something was wrong. After checking, they found that these things were all related to the Illuminati, which they had looked down upon in the past!
The [Illuminati] currently has more than 200 members, of which more than one-third are people with special abilities. This speed of development is simply incredible.
Ye Ziqiu looked at Qingzhi and said, "Let's take the things back to the institute and let Academician Chen check them. I suspect they may have become stronger because they drank this strange liquid."
Then he checked the bodies outside again, and then Ye Ziqiu frowned and looked at Xu Tong, "Didn't they say there were seven terrorists? Why are there only four bodies here? Where are the rest?"
Xu Tong first looked at Shen Lian, then at Dong Zhi, but neither of them spoke. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and whispered, "They all ran away."
Ye Ziqiu sneered: "You can even run away like this. I thought that where Captain Shen is, not even an ant can escape from your sight. I didn't expect that you would be careless and lose the opportunity."
Xu Tong could tell that this sister and Shen Lian were not getting along, and thought of the rumors about the "Hunters" and "Light Chasers" teams not getting along. Unexpectedly, it was not just a rumor, but a real disagreement.
"This can't be blamed on Captain Shen. Those two men were just too cunning. They simply sold out the rest of their accomplices and used their own accomplices to contain Captain Shen and his men. Plus, they were really powerful at the time. That ability was like cheating." Xu Tong still felt a little scared when he thought of the scene just now.
Ye Ziqiu was too lazy to listen to all this and asked again which two people had run away. But when he heard that they were two people with relatively high levels of supernatural powers, his face immediately turned ugly.
"We can't delay this any longer. First, we don't know how long they can last after drinking that strange potion. Second, they have already carried out many terrorist attacks. If they go to other places and hurt innocent people, Team Leader Xu, you'd better contact other security bureaus immediately. It would be best if you mobilize all the Self-Defense Force members to conduct multiple patrols and impose martial law on the entire city."
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and immediately ran out, looking so flustered that he almost tripped over the gravel outside.
"Sister Zi Qiu, we should tell the captain about this immediately. We also need to track them." Xu Qingzhi said with a worried look on his face.
Ye Ziqiu smiled and said calmly, "Why rush? When it comes to tracking methods, we still have to rely on psychics. Don't we have an S-level psychic standing next to us? Captain Shen will do this himself."
Xu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Lian awkwardly.
Even Dong Zhi who was beside Shen Lian was a little unsure at this time. Although the captain's mental power could indeed track the breath of the psychic left within half an hour, it was still unknown what the captain's plan for the future was.
All I heard was Shen Lian taking off his suit jacket, leaving him wearing only a dark blue shirt underneath. The shirt was ironed and fitted, making his muscular figure more prominent. He was the typical type of person who looked thin when dressed and looked muscular when undressed.
No wonder Shen Lian has always had many female fans in the circle. In addition, the base has been focusing on publicity during this period. Compared with the Hunters who have always been low-key and mysterious and do not like to show up in the spotlight, the Light Chasers do have a higher support rate among the people.
I thought Shen Lian would reject this outright, but unexpectedly, Shen Lian turned around and said to Dong Zhi: "This person ran southward. At this time, the range he ran should not exceed five kilometers. Focus on checking the self-built houses and residential buildings within five kilometers."
It turned out that when they were talking just now, Shen Lian had already used his mental power to track the specific escape direction of Brother Zhao and Yang Feng.
However, psychics are not omnipotent. Generally speaking, the higher the level of psychic power, the larger the range that can be tracked, and the range can also be detected through breath.
For example, for a psychic like Xu Qingzhi, who already has A-level mental strength, the actual range he can detect is about three kilometers, but to be more specific, he can only grasp one direction at most. However, a true S-level psychic like Shen Lian can lock the range to specific buildings or a street, and sometimes even find the neighborhood where the psychic is located.
This is the level difference between psychics. Why do so many A-level psychics try every means to upgrade to S-level psychics but always fail? It is because the gap between S-level and A-level is like the river and the ocean. Although one is long, it will always have an end, but the other is boundless and inexhaustible.
After Ye Ziqiu and Xu Qingzhi took on the task here, they planned to temporarily return to the guard headquarters to report the relevant situation, but the most important thing was to deliver the bottle of medicine in their hands to Academician Chen as soon as possible.
What on earth is this potion that can actually allow a psychic's level to suddenly break through? If it is a new type of potion, it is very likely to overturn the existing psychic level system.
On the way back, Xu Qingzhi went to the research institute, and Ye Ziqiu wanted to report back to the guard team headquarters.
It was getting darker and the sky was sinking. There was still a trace of the setting sun in the distance. The temperature outside was still as high as 53 degrees. It was 7:20. It had been several months since the cold winter in November. Those who had air conditioners in the base turned them on to cool down, and those who didn't tried their best to turn on fans. The worst ones would at least open the windows for some ventilation, so that breathing wouldn't be uncomfortable in the house.
Gu Tongwan still stayed in the guesthouse. There was still martial law outside, but fortunately the terrorist attack in the afternoon did not spread to this neighborhood. It seemed that the Security Bureau had dispatched additional Self-Defense Force personnel. Now, when he opened the window, he could see that all the street lights in the neighborhood were on, and he could vaguely see the light of flashlights not far away.
She had no intention of staying here overnight and talked to the landlady about it. Although Xiaoli and Lan Cen tried to keep her, she still refused. It was a bit too much for three people to sleep in Xiaoli's room, and it was not very convenient for her to use the space when she wanted to. It would be better for her to return to her own little house and be comfortable.
On the way back, I was stopped and checked as expected. After all, there are very few people on the road between seven and eight o'clock. In addition, the incident that happened this afternoon made people in the neighborhood panic, and the intensity of the investigation was intensified. So people living nearby have to endure the heat and close the doors and windows even in the hottest days.
Fortunately, the other party checked quickly and let her go after confirming her identity, address and the purpose of her trip.
When she returned to the inner circle, the sentry posts there had twice as many people as usual. The people there already knew her. One reason was that not many people often drove such a new off-road vehicle, and the other was that she was a girl and was pretty. Occasionally when she went back, some guys would deliberately strike up a conversation with her, so they all knew her. Therefore, the interrogation process was much smoother than in the outer circle.
Two of the guys who were checked were somewhat familiar with Gu Tongwan, and they even helped her to register when she brought the goods back.
At this time, the two young men should have just finished their shift. Their sentry booth should have three shifts, and generally they change shifts once every half a month.
The first shift is from 7am to 3pm, the second shift is from 3pm to 11pm, and the third shift is from 11pm to 7am the next morning.
Moreover, these two boys are only in their early twenties and are full of energy. I don’t know if it is because of this reason, but I can see them working evening and night shifts for a month in a row.
When the two boys saw that Gu Tongwan had just returned at this time, they couldn't help but come forward to talk to him.
"Miss, the city has just been put under martial law tonight. You should go back quickly. Don't run around now. What if you meet a bad guy on the way?"
The boy who was speaking had just joined the Self-Defense Forces two months ago. He was a C-level psychic. Originally, with his level of psychic ability, he could have directly joined the guard team. It was said that he had already passed the exam, but he temporarily changed it to voluntary employment and ran to the Self-Defense Forces. Moreover, he had a more Buddhist personality, that is, he was rather lazy. He did not like to go on missions in the Guard Bureau and automatically transferred to the sentry post for duty. For him, it was just a matter of checking the vehicles coming in and out every day. Although the sentry had to stand all the time, it was not that strict. There would be a small bench placed behind him so he could sit for a while when no one was around.
However, the weather is hot during this period, and the parasol placed outside is not enough. People inside are still uncomfortable with the sun. Fortunately, the bureau is worried about heatstroke at the sentry post, so they specially customized a batch of parasols made of new materials from the research institute. It is said that this material can reduce at least 90% of ultraviolet radiation and can also prevent excessive sun exposure. The bureau customized nearly 100 such parasols at one time, mainly for various sentry posts and security booths in the blocks.
Gu Tongwan's eyes fell on the dark blue uniform the boy was wearing. The material of this uniform seemed to be similar to what she had bought in the outdoor goods store before. It should be a high-temperature resistant fabric, but it seemed that the one he was wearing should be of higher quality.
The uniforms of the Self-Defense Force members have recently been changed to dark blue, which is somewhat similar to the other set of training uniforms for firefighters in the past, but they are equipped with heat-resistant short boots and sun-proof gloves, and they always wear helmets. This seems to be a rule, because whenever you encounter special situations, the head is the most vulnerable, so it must be protected.
This uniform is said to be resistant to high temperatures and is also the latest product from the research institute.
In comparison, the uniforms of the guard team members are a bit more advanced. They are black body-shaping uniforms that show off the whole body shape when worn. It is said that when selecting, the guard team not only requires the ability level to be above C level, but also has requirements for height and appearance. At least the appearance must be decent and cannot be ugly, which will affect the image of the guard team.
Gu Tongwan found this selection requirement quite funny, but when he thought about the various publicity activities the guard team had received since they entered the base, he probably thought it was to win over the people. Who doesn't like to be pleasing to the eye?
"Well, I just came back from the outer circle. The situation there is a little more serious than here, but there are many Self-Defense Forces patrolling along the way, so there won't be any danger for the time being."
"It is said that a big explosion occurred in the outer circle, right? People these days get very angry, especially those with special abilities. If you have nothing to do during this period, you'd better not go out too much. Even if you have to go out, at least find a few more friends to accompany you." Another little boy couldn't help but join in the conversation. He didn't look as energetic as the other one, and he looked listless. It was probably because the weather was too hot.
"Miss, are you going out to play today?" Another boy with small tiger teeth continued to ask with a smile. He was quite lively and could chat with Gu Tongwan for a few minutes every time.
"Yes, I'm going out to catch up with some friends and bring some things back to make a sunshade."
"Miss, it's hard to find workers in this weather. Why don't you consider me? I can do it for free, and I'm free this weekend."
"Come on, I think you have other intentions, miss, don't worry about it. If you want to build a sunshade, I have a relative who does renovations at home and can help."
"You have to charge for helping others. It's embarrassing for you not to pay your relative. Miss, please consider me. I can let you do it for free." The little boy showed a pair of fangs and looked quite well-behaved when he smiled.
Gu Tongwan couldn't help but shook his head, "Don't worry, I can install it myself. Nowadays, there is no distinction between men and women. Also, don't flirt with me all the time. I'm not interested in younger men."
He said this with a smile, and drove away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes. As a result, the two could only stare at each other. The boy with tiger teeth didn't mind, but sighed and said, "It's true that beautiful women are hard to chase."
