The highest point in the Midnight District used to be a commercial center before the war.

The dilapidated top floor of the high-rise building was razed to the ground, and there was no shelter around, so the wind under the ocean drove straight in, blowing people blind.

On the ruins, Jiang Bieqiu and Fang Jue looked up.

The crowd is crowded, like ants.

Ordinary people who have not been infected by pollutants are under centralized control in Luoshan, and they need to wait for the midnight zone to completely eliminate the pollution before they can be free.A woman staggered out of the crowd, but was stopped by soldiers.

Through the wind, Jiang Bieqiu could neither hear nor see clearly.

He looked sideways at Fang Jue and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Fang Jue: "The missing person includes her child, and she is asking the people in the military region to rescue her."

"The people in the military area will not be rescued." Jiang Bieqiu said, "It has been a few hours since the direct contact with the polluted body, and all those who should be infected have been infected. Moreover, they are ordinary people, and Luo Shan will not let them His soldiers are in danger."

Fang Jue nodded slightly: "Yes."

After speaking, he walked over there.

Seeing Fang Jue, the lady grabbed the corner of his uniform as if seeing a savior, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir...you should be their commander, please, my daughter was taken away by the polluted body , please let them save my daughter..."

Fang Jue took a step back to avoid the lady's touch.

Seeing this, the latter instantly looked like a burnt out candle, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and murmured: "Is it really impossible to save? Can I exchange my life for my daughter's life?"

Fang Jue said, "What does your daughter look like?"

The lady suddenly raised her head, and after a moment of ecstasy, she counted them one by one tremblingly: "Short hair! Big eyes, with a mole at the corner of the eye! She was still holding her favorite bear when she was taken away..."

As she spoke, the memory touched her heartstrings, and the lady burst into tears: "When she woke up, she said she wanted to hear me tell a story at night...how could she know that she just went out of the house..."

Fang Jue hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to help the crying lady on the ground.

He didn't say it could be saved, and he didn't say it couldn't be saved, but amidst the suppressed sobs and anxiety, he said: "I will get rid of those pollutants, but I can't guarantee that your daughter will be brought back safely. You have to do it." Get ready."

The lady nodded with a sob: "I know...thank you, sir..."

Scattered cries and thanks were blown away by the wind.

Luoshan, who was busy in the resettlement area, heard that Fang Jue was going to get close to the group of polluted bodies again, so he ran out of the house in a hurry: "Are you going to save people?"

Fang Jue's face was light: "I am a sentinel, not afraid of pollution."

"But that is a polluted body with intelligence." Luo Shan disagreed, and persuaded, "The polluted bodies of the Beagle Star will only attack instinctively, but they will gather together to capture humans. This is obviously aimed at aliens. A trap for capable people. Fang Jue, I have already reported it to the Tower of Dawn, just wait a little longer."

Fang Jue shook his head: "I can't wait, and I can't wait."

In the resettlement area, many electronic devices were making operating sounds one after another, and on a huge screen, thermal sensing images showed the location of the pollutants.

There are three in total.

The captured person is right next to him, some distance away from the contaminated body. Although there is a possibility of not being infected, it is very small.Seeing that Fang Jue couldn't be stopped, Luo Shan simply turned the screen and explained: "They are not far away, just above an auction venue. We don't know what they want to catch humans for the time being."

While speaking, he put on heavy protective clothing.Fang Jue saw it, raised his hand to block it, and said, "You don't have to go."

Luo Shan smiled and said, "I won't let my soldiers take risks, but I'm also an executive officer, and I need to be responsible for these humans."

Fang Jue didn't want to say more, the two were actually equal, he couldn't order Luo Shan directly, but he could refuse directly with actions.Unexpectedly, before he could move, he saw a person walking away from the door, and said softly: "Commander Luo Shan, as the executive officer of the military region, you are not responsible for the missing humans, but for them who are still in panic."

Jiang Bieqiu pointed out through the window, thousands of people in the Midnight District huddled together with their families, their faces were full of unknown confusion and fear.

After all, they are protected by the tower area and supernatural beings, and have enjoyed the stability of several generations. The younger generation of children have never even heard of pollutants.The comfort in Utopia is broken, and those tragic moments that only exist in human history are now in sight, and there is no other emotion except bewilderment and fear.

Luo Shan sighed heavily.

"I don't know... where these pollutants come from."

Jiang Bieqiu put his hands on Fang Jue's shoulders with a smile, and said to Luo Shan, "Don't sigh, this time I went to the underground world with Chief Fang Jue, and it's not all fruitless, don't you think so, Fang Jue?"

As he spoke, he poked Fang Jue familiarly.

Fang Jue glanced at him, moved his lips, and didn't know what to think of, so he didn't speak.

"I know Chief Fang is strong, but I still don't suggest you go alone." Luo Shan didn't notice the tide between the two, thought for a moment, and said distressedly, "I don't understand, there is no one else in the Twilight Tower area? Why are you a top executive running around outside?"

Jiang Bieqiu said: "Who said to let him go alone, wouldn't there be me here?"

Until the backs of the two disappeared completely out of sight, Luo Shan still didn't realize the difference between going alone and going with two.

But in the end, he followed Jiang Bieqiu's suggestion, stayed to deal with the aftermath, and...received the senior management who came down from the Twilight Zone for inspection.

On the other side, Fang Jue didn't know that he was walking ahead, and the management of the Twilight Tower area hung up a communication for Luo Shan.He was watching Jiang Bieqiu fiddling with a small thermal imaging device for locating pollutants.

After a long time, he heard himself asking, "What are you doing here?"

"That's what I said." Jiang Bieqiu slid his finger, enlarged the position on the page and said, "If you can go, I can't? We have worked together for a while, Mr. Fang, you can't just give up like this. .”

Fang Jue withdrew his gaze, noncommittal.

"However, Fang Jue." Jiang Bieqiu smiled, "Although you may understand it very well, I still want to say that the little girl can't be saved. You are asking for trouble for yourself by promising her mother to save her. .”

Fang Jue: "Yes."

Since the pollution body appeared, his mood became manic.He didn't think that Jiang Bieqiu, as a guide, would not be able to perceive this irritability, but Fang Jue knew that Jiang Bieqiu was going, and he couldn't stop him.

Just like he was going to save the little girl.

Regardless of any responsibilities and obligations, Jiang Bieqiu wanted to accompany him, so he did.

He wanted to save, so he did.

It's just that, recalling the decades of being the executive officer of the Twilight Tower, those days and nights when I walked alone, it wouldn't be bad if someone could be with me.
