The end of the world is coming: My waiter is too Buddhist
Chapter 257 The Tree That Eats Souls
"elder brother!"
The thin boy's shrill roar was particularly harsh even in the wind and snow, which successfully attracted the attention of the nearby exploration team.
Half an hour later...
A burst of hurried footsteps could be heard in the corridor of the military zone of the official shelter. The wind caused by the footsteps blew off some of the green and yellow leaves of the potted plants in the corridor.
He pushed open the office door and his secretary Wang Zhenglin's voice arrived before his own.
"General, something happened with the exploration team!"
Tapping the table with his fingers, Zheng Qi gently reminded: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Infected by his master's calmness, Wang Zhenglin took a deep breath to calm his breathing before speaking: "General, the team of psychics who went out to explore today was attacked by mutant plants. Two teams of more than ten people disappeared on the spot, and their lives and deaths are still unknown."
As he said this, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He took the hot water handed to him by his master and took a sip before he suppressed the fear in his heart.
"According to the reports of the survivors, the mutant plant that unknowingly dragged away the two teams has covered an area that is almost close to the shelter, and it seems to have a certain level of intelligence. Someone heard it make syllables similar to human language!"
Thinking of the fear on the face of the surviving team member when he said this, Wang Zhenglin couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "General, do you think these animals and plants will really evolve into monsters?"
Although the arrival of the end of the world and the mutation of animals and plants caught people off guard, humans have been describing animals and plants in a humanized way since ancient times. When Wang Zhenglin heard this news, he subconsciously thought of many monsters in mythological stories.
If monsters really exist in the world, then humans with special powers can also cultivate immortality, right?
Just as these absurd thoughts flashed through Wang Zhenglin's mind, Zheng Qi took off his glasses and suddenly stood up: "Let's go, take me to see the surviving team members."
After being stunned for a second, Wang Zhenglin immediately followed up: "General, there is a teenager among the survivors this time, but he is not from the exploration team. I heard that he sneaked out with his brother.
Other survivors said that this guy seemed to be the first person to come into contact with the mutant plants, so maybe he knew a little more, but this guy seemed to be frightened and didn't say anything the whole time. "
Zheng Qi strode forward, and Wang Zhenglin jogged along behind him, while also introducing many specific details about the mutant plant murder incident.
Taking the special elevator all the way down, the two soon arrived at the first floor of the shelter. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Zheng Qi unconsciously tightened his coat.
Noticing his master's actions, Wang Zhenglin immediately explained: "General, the first floor is connected to the shelter's main entrance, so it is more affected by the outside temperature. I'll send someone to deliver some clothes."
Looking at the people around him who were wearing thin clothes but were still busy working, Zheng Qi shook his head: "No need, they don't have thick clothes to wear, and we are here to comfort the wounded."
Understanding what Zheng Qi meant, Wang Zhenglin followed him respectfully half a step behind. His expression and movements were comparable to those of a professionally trained bodyguard.
Zheng Qi walked through the bustling crowd and followed the guard's instructions to the security station located in the central area of the first floor. As soon as he approached, he heard a commotion at the door of the security station.
Looking up, I saw a group of people holding banners and blocking the entrance of the police station, crying and shouting, and several members of the police station were saying something in the crowd.
Seeing this, Wang Zhenglin skillfully asked the security guard who was leading the way: "Is there any other entrance?"
"Yes, yes. General Zheng, this way."
This security guard in his early twenties has a plump figure and a warm smile, and he seems to be more fawning than some middle-aged people.
Following his instructions, Zheng Qi and his companion walked into a nearby shop and then into a long corridor. When they turned a corner, they saw the badge of the public security station.
Pointing to the iron gate in front, the pot-bellied security guard began to explain like a tour guide: "The original police station was not in this area. This was a restaurant that was abandoned and our police station moved here. The passage connects the kitchen and the warehouse.
With a creaking sound, the iron gate at the end of the passage was pushed open as the security guard was explaining. The unpleasant sound instantly attracted the attention of the people around.
At first glance, this is a luxuriously and comfortable rest area. At this moment, there are groups of security guards smoking and chatting in the rest area. When they see the look from their old ambassador, they immediately scatter like birds and beasts.
After closing the iron gate, the security guard smiled and stretched out his hand: "I have heard of your name for a long time, General. I am the deputy director of the First Floor Public Security Bureau..."
Before he could finish, Wang Zhenglin interrupted him: "Okay, now bring all the surviving members of the exploration team. Our general wants to question them."
The outstretched hand froze in mid-air. The security guard could only smile awkwardly and rub his hands: "They are still in the interrogation room taking statements, so..."
"Interrogation room? Are you interrogating the surviving exploration team members as mortals?"
Zheng Qi's words were neither hot nor cold, but the security guard was shocked. He was about to explain but was interrupted again: "Okay, call your chief over."
Although he was unwilling and dissatisfied, he still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go ask our director right away."
He turned around and walked away unsteadily. Wang Zhenglin frowned and said, "General, this police station is too messy. I don't know how they usually manage it."
Zheng Qi did not respond to his words. He turned and walked into the office area of the public security bureau, and Wang Zhenglin followed closely behind him.
It was almost evening at this time. The security guards at their workstations seemed to be sitting quietly, but when I walked over, I found that they were either playing games or watching movies. None of them were working, and they seemed not to hear the noise of the crowd outside the door.
Zheng Qi randomly found a young man and patted him on the shoulder. He said in a kind tone: "Hello, where is the exploration team that was brought back today? I'm looking for someone."
Suddenly interrupted, the young man who was playing games did not even turn his head and said: "Family members of the exploration team, right? If you want to bring someone, just go straight and turn left. Everyone is in the detention room."
After getting the answer he wanted, Zheng Qi quickly found the so-called detention room according to the instructions. Through the glass, he could see about 10 to 20 people squatting inside.
There was no guard at the door, and the two of them pushed it open easily. The sound of the door opening attracted many people who were squatting to look up.
Being watched by so many eyes, Wang Zhenglin immediately stepped forward and said, "This is General Zheng. I am here today to inquire about the matter of mutant plants in the snow. If you know anything, please feel free to tell me."
This sentence was like a poisonous snake burrowing into the crowd, scaring many people so much that they immediately lowered their heads and hugged themselves tightly. That timid look didn't seem like that of a normally courageous psychic.
Seeing that the crowd did not respond, Zheng Qi walked straight through the crowd and found the little boy hiding in the corner: "I heard that your brother is missing. Do you want to find him? I can help you!"
Slowly raising his head, the boy shook his head with lifeless eyes: "Don't go, it will eat up your soul, you can't save it, you can't save it..."
