Chapter 1556 Hearing about Shaotong again
......
In a room on the fourth floor of the only guest house in Jinxiu Town, Jiang Cheng was exchanging the latest information with Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai. Fatty No, Fatty has been very close to Su An recently, and it is said that he has gradually become familiar with some second-generation crimsons under Su An's introduction.
There has been a lot of news recently. The good news is that due to the country’s absolute advantage, the remnants of the Night’s Watch are retreating steadily. All strongholds, large and small, will be attacked immediately as soon as they are discovered. Except for a small number of surrenders, the rest All were surrounded and annihilated.
But the bad news that followed was that under such a high-pressure attack, the remaining core members of the Night Watch became increasingly crazy and began to attack indiscriminately, even targeting schools, airports, In densely populated areas such as stations, office buildings, and business districts, the extent of the madness is evident.
In such a high-intensity conflict, supernatural incidents occurred frequently in various places. Some of the most affected cities have even begun martial law. Citizens are notified not to go out unless necessary. Public transportation has been basically suspended. All transportation arteries are guarded by soldiers with live ammunition. .
At the same time, casualties in the battle against the remnants of the Night's Watch are also increasing, especially the dark army under Mr. Luo who is charging at the front line. It is said that the establishment has been disabled, and the number of casualties has once been More than two-thirds.
This is not entirely because the overall combat power of the dark army is weaker than that of the Night Watch. A larger part of the reason is that these remnants of the Night Watch are too cunning and cruel. They choose their hiding places in densely populated areas and have armies with heavy firepower. Unable to use their hands and feet, they can only take advantage of the flexibility of the dark army to clear them out.
Once they start taking action, this group of desperadoes naturally have no worries, but the dark army is different. One can completely let go, while the other is restrained and unwilling to hurt innocent people. The comparison between the two has caused such casualties. excusable.
However, to everyone's relief, as the war progressed, more and more anonymous disciples hiding in every corner of the city began to step out of the shadows and actively join the war against the remnants of the Night Watch. Including some former night watchmen.
With the continuous injection of new forces, the overall size and quality of the dark army are also increasing, and they have begun to gain the upper hand in the following battles.
Some paranormal incidents rated B and below do not even require official action. Within a few hours after the incident is exposed, no more than 1 day at the latest, the name will be left. The disciples will solve the problem, and when facing some high-level supernatural events, everyone will spontaneously form a team, systematically study and judge, and finally select a few capable and experienced disciples to lead the team, and continue to attack in batches, after paying a heavy price It was eventually resolved after casualties.
Among the major cities in the country, Dajing City and Shanghai City were the most affected, with the highest level of supernatural incidents and the heaviest casualties. The social order in some areas was almost collapsed. However, in Through both official and private channels, a steady stream of disciples came from all over the country to support them. After several days of brutal fighting, the haze that shrouded the two cities finally receded.
As these incidents were calmed down one by one, the survivors slowly woke up, and more and more people began to accept the "alien" existence like the disciples. They could no longer hide in the dark. The shadows of people are also stationed in the dark night to protect people before dawn from the invasion of nightmares.
In addition to these messages about the overall situation, there is also a message specifically for Jiang Cheng. It was sent by Mr. Luo on his behalf. The content of the message is very simple. The identities of Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie have been verified. There is no Question, according to the previous agreement, these two people can deliver it before this evening at the earliest.
More and more folk taboos have been encountered in recent missions. This aspect is Jiang Cheng's shortcomings. He has suffered a lot in several missions. Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie happen to be masters in this lineage. Jiang Cheng wants to invite them to give Make up for the lessons with my own group of people.
In fact, Jiang Cheng’s favorite candidate was Mr. Yu Chengmu. Unfortunately, this man had passed away, so Jiang Cheng had no choice but to offer him three sticks of incense in his heart.
Li Bai also knows a little bit about the rules of Yin Xing, but according to her own words, she is also a second-hand swordsman who is superficial and does not understand many details, but with Li Bai here, that is This eliminated the possibility of Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie talking nonsense, otherwise the consequences would be serious if discovered.
After a simple meal, everyone dispersed. Jiang Cheng was a little tired and planned to go back to his room to take a nap. But not long after he lay down and felt a little sleepy, he heard someone knocking on the door.
After the door opened, there was a somewhat familiar woman outside. Jiang Cheng remembered her as the adjutant of the person in charge here.
"Mr. Jiang, the person in charge asked me to invite you over. He has something very important to do." The woman's voice was breathy, and it was obvious that she had run all the way here.
Follow the woman to a room on the second floor and open the door. A middle-aged man has been waiting for a long time. There are several brown paper bags on the table in front of the man.
The man waved his hand, and the woman withdrew and closed the door. However, when she heard the footsteps, the woman did not go far, but stood guard outside the door.
Seeing those brown paper bags, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. First of all, he knew that today’s incident must be related to the Crimson Base. Secondly, he was a little dissatisfied because he had already reminded the man that what was inside these paper bags Don't touch them, let alone open them and look at them. This will only cause endless trouble.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't get me wrong. I have received authorization from above." The middle-aged man got straight to the point, "I came to you today to ask you something."
"I've told you everything I know about what's going on in the Crimson Base, and now that the base has been destroyed, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it."
Jiang Cheng just had his words written all over his face, and he didn't want to The contact with the man is too deep. After all, he was once a member of the Crimson. Who knows whether it will involve him in the end.
“Do you know Shao Tong?” the middle-aged man suddenly asked.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment. After all, he had never mentioned anything about Shao Tong to the man, and neither did Fatty. So he must have heard this content from elsewhere, which also verified the man. What he said was true, he did receive some kind of authorization from the top.
After thinking briefly, Jiang Cheng nodded, "I know, he was my teammate in the last mission."
"According to my information, this person named Shao Tong also came from Crimson, which is the underground base that was bombed not long ago." The man asked: "Is that so?"
"Yes." Jiang Cheng didn't hide anything.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Jiang Cheng's answer, the man took a deep breath, "Mr. Jiang, I have to tell you that according to our collection of information, there has never been anyone named Shao Tong in that base. "(End of this chapter)
