implication [end times]

He Rongsheng patted Li Shuxiu on the shoulder, signaling him to follow the team.

The newly reorganized tenth team now has two main responsibilities. One is to go to the front line at any time when the sea ghosts change, and the other is to deal with violent conflicts in the resettlement area and eliminate potential safety hazards.

After the scene was almost handled, Captain Ding received the news and quickly led the team to the next mission location.It was a community school not far from the ruins, which was requisitioned to accommodate victims and supplies because it was close to the junction of the second and third ring roads.

He Rongsheng and Li Shuxiu walked side by side. Seeing the latter's dejected face, he asked why.Li Shuxiu was still in shock at this time, so he told the truth without thinking too much.

"It's unbelievable. So many people died just for a piece of broken land and a little tribute." Li Shuxiu said, "What time is it now, why are they so extreme?"

He Rongsheng was silent for a while, and said: "To be honest, I think your thoughts are even more unbelievable... Well, I used to have many things that I couldn't understand, and my thoughts at that time can't even be imagined by myself now."

Zhan Yiye, who was walking in front, accidentally listened to it, then turned around and asked, "Are you talking about the fact that after the riot subsided, someone bought a gun to cheat points?"

He Rongcheng was stunned for a moment, then grinned in embarrassment: "Yes, this incident is one of them, and I said at the time that I might do the same."

"What about now?" Li Shuxiu asked.

"Not anymore, maybe." He Rongsheng said.

After a pause, he said, "Maybe."

"But the problem is that the xenophobia of the aborigines in the second ring is too serious. Do we have to deal with these unnecessary conflicts all the time? Is there no solution?"

Zhan Yiye didn't roll his eyes this time, and said in a calm tone: "All rings are xenophobic. I followed the leader to the first and second rings for a meeting. Do you know that when asked where you are from, the reactions of residents in each ring are different? ?Residents in the third ring generally say that they are from the main city, and residents of the second ring say that they are from the inner ring—because the first and second rings are collectively called the inner ring, and the third ring is also called the outer ring. And the residents of the first ring say they are People in the first ring. Each ring has high walls and checkpoints, and has its own unique cultural habits, so there will be a lot of misunderstandings and frictions, and I have committed a lot of stupid. As for the solution, it is not you who study theory in school now When taking the test."

"How can we divide so carefully, don't everyone live in the main city..."

Zhan Yiye interrupted him suddenly: "Where are you from?"

"One ring..." Li Shuxiu shut his mouth abruptly.

Zhan Yiye didn't answer the phone anymore, and the members of the tenth team had sneaked into the Second Ring Shaoka Road Community School where the incident happened.Captain Ding led them into the teaching building according to the map, and finally came to a small hidden meeting room at the corner of the top floor along the winding corridor.Through the thick wooden door, the sound of prayers could be heard indistinctly, like waves in the middle of the night.

"Only by breaking the boundary can we live together forever."

"God rises from the bottom of the sea and rescues people from falling. People sacrifice to the sea god and thus gain new life."

"Pain comes from someone else. If he is me, then all evil will cease and all suffering will be eliminated. This is Datong."

……

Li Shuxiu was not close to the door, but he vaguely heard the content.He whispered to He Rongsheng next to him: "Could the Sea God they're talking about be..."

"It's a sea ghost." He Rongsheng said in a low voice. "Recently, some people have gathered illegally to preach. They worship sea ghosts as gods and want to offer sacrifices to the gods."

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable..." Li Shuxiu, who lacked vocabulary, opened his eyes and muttered, "Aren't sea ghosts cannibals? What do these people think? How could there be such a person?"

"Shh, stop chatting." Zhan Yiye in the front took out rope handcuffs from behind his waist and urged, "Get ready for action."

Soon after the fall of the Three Rings, these missionaries appeared in the resettlement area one after another. They made various pamphlets, preaching that sea ghosts are actually gods who save the world. The "Sea Gods" came to the world to guide mankind in a new direction. They are a hundred times stronger than humans, they are better and more powerful species, and they are more qualified to be the masters of the earth.And those who believe in the "Sea God" will be taken care of and get eternal freedom and peace in Datong.

In such a special period, such words and deeds that disturb the hearts of the people will naturally be severely punished, but the whereabouts of this group of people are uncertain. This group of people took the pot away.

According to Xu Pei'er's informant, Captain Ding Taitai suspected that these missionaries were related to the previous Mutual Aid Association on Ginkgo Road in the Third Ring Road, because the ideas in it were too similar.Some of these missionaries did mention the name of "Mr. Gong", but this mysterious "Mr. Gong" never appeared.

Team Ten’s operation went smoothly, and all the religious believers who were fooled or voluntarily gathered were taken away, but the leading few committed suicide by jumping out of the window the moment Team Ten broke in.Xu Pei'er, who was standing by the window at that time, tried to stop her, but failed, but was kicked by one of them, and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

Ding Taitai called the team members to withdraw, while he hurriedly carried Xu Pei'er on his back and ran to the nearest medical point, but he didn't dare to run fast, for fear of hurting Teacher Xu on his back.So the lower body strength he trained in the military academy for many years finally came in handy.I saw Captain Ding's pair of long-legged spinning tops swaying rapidly, but his upper body remained motionless, as if the cup of tea that Xu Pei'er poured on it would not spill out.

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Peier to pour tea.She just lay on Ding Taitai's broad and powerful back, and lightly rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Tsk, there is a situation." Brother Ta said while escorting the two perpetrators, "When did it start?"

"It's been a long time, both of them are kind-hearted and sincere people, they are a good match." Zhan Yiye said, "But it's not important, gossip less and work more."

Captain Ding was away for the time being, and the vice-captain Zhan Yiye watched the team members deal with all the matters on the memorandum and ticked them off before mercifully letting them disband.Among them, He Rongsheng received special approval to leave the team an hour early, and went to the post office to wait for the telegram. After the fall of the Third Ring Road, the communication and logistics inside and outside the city were completely cut off, and the originally relatively primitive telegram returned to people's vision.He Rongsheng was the only one in the team who used to live outside the city. He couldn't get in touch with his family, so he sent a telegram to his former colleagues to inquire about the situation at home. Today was the time to call back.Different from the densely populated original Third Ring Road, the scattered residents outside the city seemed to suffer from lesser damage from sea ghosts. He Rongsheng, who has been busy so far and couldn't stop, didn't dare to think about whether he could receive a call back.

The post office next to the second ring checkpoint is not far from this community school.On the way to the post office, He Rongsheng's palms were sweating nervously.He tried to divert his anxiety, and carefully looked at the dense poplar trees on the roadside and the seaweed that clung to them.A pike perched on a tree, its smooth and slender tail feathers hidden among the leaves, staring blankly at the passers-by.

He Rongsheng reflexively wanted to stay away from this mutant flying fish.When they were outside the city before, it was recognized that the most difficult thing to deal with was not wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards, but this small but extremely fierce carnivorous flying fish.Therefore, most retail investors living outside the city will install protective nets in their yards, and some are more cautious and will connect to electricity, such as Ran Yu's house.

For a while after He Rongsheng entered the city, he was shocked by the fact that there was no fish in the sky in the main city. Later, he realized that it was the credit of several high-power aerial jammers developed by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.After these days of turmoil, he knows that it is understandable for various departments to care about one thing and lose another.Moreover, these finches on the side of the road did not seem to be aggressive, just squatting on the treetops-perhaps not causing too many casualties is the key to their being ignored so far.

However, He Rongsheng frowned and took a closer look, but there were too many sparrow fish hiding in these trees.

After Lou Yue talked with the person in charge of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, he received a call from Yan Ai.

In fact, Yan Ai had already discussed this issue with the newly established research group before contacting Lou Yue.This research group gathered the most well-known experts in various disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, and informatics from the main city's research institute. After a heated discussion, they believed that we should first pay attention to Ran Yu's behavior of asking for sugar.

"We don't have a clue right now. I think the clues Ran Yu gave point to you." Yan Ai said, "The kind of candy he wanted is in a snack shop on Wisteria Road in Yihuan Road. I heard from Xiangxiang that you used to go there often. ? I think the relationship between you and Ran Yu is not simple."

"No time to explain this, tell me what's wrong with him first."

"Okay." Yan Ai briefly summarized Ran Yu's words and deeds today.

"He said he wanted to fly a kite?" Lou Yue asked, "Is there anything else? What about his demeanor and movements?"

"There is no other expression. He picked up the paper kite and shook it up and down a few times, then gave it to me, and his tone was normal..."

Lou Yue could no longer hear what Yan Ai was saying later, and he quickly searched for everything about "kite" in Ran Yu's letter in his mind.

Soon, he remembered a stick figure.

At that time, Lou Yue mentioned in a letter that there were often children flying kites in the nearby park, and he sent a small kite there.His pen pal wrote back with some pride: "Although kites cannot be flown here, there are many things that look like it flying in the sky."

The stick figure is exactly the kind of sparrow fish that Lou Yue has accidentally seen today, with its long tail feathers fluttering in the air.On the back of the painting is Ran Yu's crooked and naive handwriting at that time——

Look, does it look like a kite?
