Chapter 143 Let the Bullets Fly for a While

Just like Lu Qingliang said before, as long as you do nothing, you will never make a mistake. And as long as you do it, there is bound to be a chance that something will go wrong.

The murderous house incident has developed to this point, and the outcome cannot be said to be good. But Li Wenhua obviously had no intention of punishing Action Team 2.

Everyone knows very well that if the second operations team is punished at this moment, then the atmosphere of the entire operations department may be worrying in the future.

Li Wenhua's figure disappeared, and there was still silence in the conference room.

Lu Ming didn't know what to say or what to do. He just felt like he had no strength and energy at this moment, and had a feeling that everything was in vain. After that, there was a hint of unwillingness and anger.

He knew that at this moment, there were probably countless people busy in the cities surrounding Yangyuan City.

Countless people are discussing the implementation details of the relocation plan and subsequent resettlement in the meeting.

A large number of construction workers and building materials are gathering in certain designated areas, where they will build temporary settlements so that the relocated residents of Yuanyangyuan City can have a temporary place to stay.

Countless amounts of convenient food are arriving here on trucks, trains, planes and other means of transportation, and thousands of security guards, doctors and others are being mobilized urgently.

To resettle more than one million residents is a huge project. The time for people to prepare in advance is only about a week.

After a long time, Zhang Dingshan finally spoke.

"Everyone, let's go and have a rest first. After working for such a long time, it's time to take a rest."

With that said, he stood up and walked out first. In the video, Lu Qingliang said "goodbye" to Lu Ming with a wry smile, and then cut off the communication.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and slumped back on the back of the seat, feeling his heart full of annoyance.

In the end, he did not go to rest, but left the temporary headquarters and walked around the city aimlessly.

It has been a while since I came to Yangyuan City, but because I was busy with work, Lu Ming never had time to walk around the city and take a look.

Now that the mission had almost failed, he finally had time to do it.

It was already dusk now. The sun sets in the west and the lanterns come on.

This place is only one kilometer away from the Marina Building, and it is like two different worlds from the Marina Building.

The Binhai Building was heavily guarded, and everyone looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy. Not far away from Binhai Building, there is a lot of traffic. Battery cars, cars and pedestrians formed a long queue, just waiting for the traffic light to turn green, and then it immediately surged down like a flood that had opened.

Being hugged by the crowd, Lu Ming walked forward silently.

Ahead is a community. On both sides of the street at the entrance of the community, there are already many people pushing carts and riding three-wheelers waiting to set up stalls here. For stalls selling cold skins, the stall owner has packed portions of cold skins, seasonings, cucumber shreds, etc. in plastic lunch boxes in advance. For stalls selling fried dumplings, the stall owner has packed dumplings with thin skins and large fillings. Put it on the iron plate and fry it sizzlingly, and the aroma keeps coming out.

A farm three-wheeler was filled with watermelons, and the loudspeaker that played back the recording kept shouting words such as "Watermelon, big watermelon, big sweet and sandy watermelon", and several old people spread it on the ground. On the cloth, fresh and crisp cucumbers, courgettes, eggplants, green onions and other vegetables were placed on it.

Residents who have finished work or picked up their children from school often stop their electric carts when passing by these stalls, prop them up with their feet, and then buy some food for the evening from various stalls. Some bought cold skin, some bought fried dumplings, and some were bargaining with the watermelon stall owner.

A little girl sitting in the back seat of the electric car was crying loudly and wanted to buy a big marshmallow. The young mother was scolding her, but she couldn't bargain with her daughter. In the end, she had no choice but to buy it, and then watched her daughter fill it up. Cheating on marshmallows with a smile on her face, she was worried about her daughter's teeth.

The barbecue stall opposite the community has opened its tables, and people are gradually starting to sit there. The aroma of grilled skewers spread out, and young people gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing loudly while raising their glasses boldly.

In the community, the windows of tall residential buildings have been gradually lit up, and the figures inside the windows can be vaguely seen. On the road, car horns beeped, urging people blocking the road to get out of the way. In the small square in front of the community, old people took their toddlers, chatting while quickly stuffing bottles into their children's mouths...

While inside, Lu Ming felt like he was surrounded by an indescribable aura. This aura filled the world, and no one was aware of it, yet everyone seemed to be filled with it.

Lu Ming knew that the name of this kind of breath was life.

Everyone enjoys a peaceful and tranquil living environment unscrupulously, as if this environment is innate, just like sunlight, air and water, it exists naturally.

People are worried about an occasional quarrel, running for a dry wallet, and busy for many seemingly important things, non-stop. But for this most important thing, they all subconsciously ignored it, just like ignoring the sunshine every day.

Lu Ming knew that it was very likely that in just a few days, people in Yangyuan City would truly feel how insignificant the things they had valued in the past were. Those things that I have ignored in the past will become more important and indispensable.

The fate of countless people will undergo earth-shaking changes. The trajectory of fate has deviated, leading to an unknown direction. No one knows where it will ultimately lead.

Lu Ming slowly walked to the small square and sat down on a stone chair. Looking at the children playing in front of him and the old man chatting and paying attention to the children, Lu Ming was stunned for a long time.

He had a feeling. He felt that he was guilty, that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities, and that he had implicated many, many others. The peaceful living environment I feel at this moment will be destroyed because of my failure to fulfill my responsibilities.

We are brave men who walk in the darkness. We are the human world’s last line of defense against supernatural forces.

But now, this line of defense has failed.

"Uncle, aren't you happy? Can I give you my lollipop? My mother bought it for me. It's so sweet!"

When Lu Ming came back to his senses, he saw that at some point, a little girl with braids was standing in front of him, holding a lollipop in her hand and looking at him very seriously.

A smile appeared subconsciously on Lu Ming's face.

"Thank you, uncle doesn't eat lollipops."

"Are you afraid of tooth decay? My mother won't let me eat two lollipops, but only one."

"Kid, mom is right, eating too many lollipops will cause tooth decay."

"Then, can I give you the magic wand to play with?"

The little girl handed over the magic wand again.

"Okay." Lu Ming took the magic wand, waved it in the air twice, and said, "Can uncle turn you into a beautiful little princess?"

"Yeah!"

"Change! Okay, the magic wand is returned to you. Now you are a beautiful little princess, go play!"

"Thank you uncle!"

The little girl jumped away. Lu Ming looked at her back with a smile on his face. It took a long time to slowly regain calm.

"I want to protect all of this." Lu Ming told himself in his heart: "This is not just my responsibility, not just what I should do, but also because... I like all of this. I can't allow anyone to... No force can destroy it."

Lu Ming stood up and walked slowly towards the Binhai Building.

After passing numerous inspections, Lu Ming came to Binhai Building again.

At this moment, there are still many people busy here. The building restoration team is still closely monitoring the structural changes of the Binhai Building all the time, and microbiology experts are also busy conducting various tests.

He saw Zhang Dingshan standing outside the cordon, looking at the building that was gradually falling into night, and his mind seemed to have left his body.

Lu Ming knew that he had been carrying a very heavy pressure. Lu Ming did not disturb him, but walked away directly and entered the ward where He Wei was.

He Wei was still asleep at the moment. Because apart from the mental stress and abnormality, she did not suffer any injuries. After coming out of the underground cave, she did not go to a large hospital, but only rested here in a temporary hospital.

"Chief He's vital signs are stable. He should be fine after a few days of rest."

Lu Ming nodded, instead of waking her up, he left again.

No one was using the conference room at the moment, only Lu Ming was there. At the same time, because the conference room has taken considerable sound insulation and confidentiality measures, it is also very quiet here. Most noise from the outside can't come through.

Lu Ming raised his head and seemed to be looking straight ahead, but his eyelids were slightly drooped, and he seemed to be looking at the ground. But there was no focus in his eyes, and he seemed to be looking at nothing.

He slowly walked toward the innermost part of the conference room. When he was about to hit the wall, he stopped, turned around, and started walking toward the door again.

When I almost reached the door, I turned back and walked to the innermost part, and then turned back again.

He was like a blindfolded donkey, just walking around unconsciously and ignoring any changes in the outside world.

He is starting from the beginning, comprehensively sorting out and thinking about the entire process of the murderous house incident. From the beginning when ordinary employees were scared to death, to the intervention of Captain Gao Chunhua of the Public Security Bureau, to the death of Wu Xiuzhu, and then to Master Zhiguang, Zheng Peng, Zhenlongzhuang, Terror, Loushen, etc., I thought about it bit by bit. , sorted out bit by bit, and sorted out the logical relationships and connections bit by bit.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have overlooked something or was missing something. Although the current logical system seemed complete, there was still some part that seemed wrong. He tried to find out what was overlooked, missing, or wrong, but he still couldn't find it.

The night is getting deeper. Lu Ming finally let out a long sigh and ended his thinking.

He didn't find what he was looking for.

Just as he was about to leave the conference room, the door was suddenly pushed open. Zhang Dingshan walked in.

"Isn't it disturbing you?"

Lu Ming shook his head slightly ashamed: "No."

"That's good." Zhang Dingshan pointed to the chair: "Sit."

"Captain, is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, just chat." Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. After all, what we are facing is a force beyond our control. It is normal for the mission to fail in the end. Even Captain Wang Zheng's 16th team, It’s not like there are no cases of failure.”

Lu Ming sighed softly.

He knew that was the case. However, despite the almost unlimited material and personnel support from the World Government, the fact that we can mobilize such a huge amount of resources, and the top think tank team is always checking for leaks and filling vacancies for our side, we are still unable to complete the task. This kind of It doesn't feel good after all.

"You have to learn to accept this kind of thing. Accept the fact that your own abilities are limited, and also accept the fact that the entire human world has limited abilities. Then, regroup and face the next challenge with stronger confidence."

Lu Ming nodded silently.

"In any case, the destruction of a city is only controllable and acceptable to the entire human world. What's more, more people will not die as a result. This situation is enough for us to be grateful. .”

Lu Ming took a long breath: "Yes."

Seeing that Lu Ming seemed to be coming out of his depression, Zhang Dingshan also had a smile on his face: "Have you heard? Some people in Yangyuan City have begun to sell their properties at low prices, mainly real estate. .”

Lu Ming was startled, and then anger welled up in his heart.

This is obviously because Yangyuan City is about to be attacked by a hydrogen bomb. The city will be abandoned and everyone will be relocated. This decision has been leaked. Some well-informed people are taking advantage of the information asymmetry to harvest the remaining uninformed people!

At this time, there are still people who want to make a fortune!

Lu Ming gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

Zhang Dingshan seemed to have no emotion.

"This kind of thing is normal. People who find it hard to make a fortune for the country are always there. Of course, being normal doesn't mean we have to accept it."

"Have you arrested anyone? We should catch them all and kill them all!"

Zhang Dingshan shook his head gently: "Don't be anxious. The current situation is not suitable for a big fight. When this matter is completely stable, just arrest people one by one according to the list. What is the saying? Let the bullets fly for a while. "

Lu Ming calmed his thoughts and nodded.

"That boss Yan Haiyan escaped from Wu Qingfu's fate first, but I don't think he can escape this time."

Yan Hai was the boss who luckily escaped Wu Qingfu's fearful suppression because of congenital underdevelopment of the amygdala.

From what Zhang Dingshan said, it seems that Yan Hai is also on the list.

Just as Lu Ming was about to ask about the situation again, he saw Zhang Dingshan's cell phone suddenly ringing. After speaking a few words through the call, Zhang Dingshan's expression became slightly more solemn.

"At the scaled-down Zhenlong Zhuang, the environmental monitoring team reported that they discovered some changes that I don't know if they can be called abnormal."
