Chapter 65: Black Crow
Seven rings.
"There's no signal on my phone. I still can't contact my little brother, and I can't find little Salem either."
Chen Shaoyan's eyes were red, and Chen Xin, who was holding Shaya, comforted her:
"I'm from the Colossus Academy, so there won't be any problems. And Salem, once everything is settled and I've contacted the Director, I'll start a large-scale search. It'll be fine. It'll be fine."
Chen Shaoyan nodded silently.
The brother and sister brought Shaya and crowded into the long street, which was full of people who had fled from the Eighth Ring. Although only the elite were allowed to enter the Seventh Ring,
But the Eighth Ring is the second largest area in the entire Great City, and it is also the most populous one. In an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers, the population has reached 100 million.
Even the elite class, there are millions of them, now caught off guard, they have temporarily become refugees. Even if Chen Xin is a senior inspector, it is useless. The Seventh Ring Police Station does not care about you, the Eighth Ring Police Officers.
Even if your identity is verified today, you will have to wait at least a few days until the situation stabilizes.
What's more, the people of the Seventh Ring do not like these refugees from the Eighth Ring.
"Let's find a place to stay first. Sister, do you have your bank card with you?"
"How can we care about so many things when we are escaping? Let's find a bridge tunnel and deal with it for a day or two. Let's wait until the situation stabilizes and see when the signal can be restored."
After squeezing through the crowd, the three of them wandered around and finally found a relatively secluded place, which was behind a large factory and there were not many people around.
Chen Xin frowned.
Someone in the factory saw them, and soon a group of people came out, led by a middle-aged man who looked very fierce.
"Refugees from the Eighth Ring?"
The middle-aged man looked Chen Shaoyan up and down, with a strange look in his eyes:
"If you have a pretty girl, take her home with you, and if you have a pretty boy, send him to your parents."
About ten people gathered around her, and the silly girl burst into tears.
Chen Xin looked solemn, took a step forward holding Shaya, and said in a deep voice:
"My friends, I am Chen Xin, the senior inspector of the Eighth Ring. I have no intention of causing any trouble, but I hope you will give me a chance to live. Once I am safe, I will definitely come and thank you."
More than ten people looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
"Senior Inspector?"
The middle-aged man in the lead smiled:
"When the director of this ring comes, we have to hand in a visiting card! Did you even tell me your identity? Well, since he is a senior inspector, it is better to be cautious."
After a pause, he side-glanced and ordered:
"Break his hands, cut his tongue, and scratch his face. Make sure he can't write, speak, or be recognized. Then hand him over to Old Song for surgery to avoid any trouble later."
Chen Xin's expression turned ugly. Surgery?
Organ trafficker?
He took a deep breath:
"Everyone, can't you really give me a way to survive?"
More than ten people surrounded him silently, holding knives and sticks. The middle-aged man slowly took out a pistol from his waist, walked forward, and pointed it at Chen Xin's forehead.
Chen Xin sighed, covered Sha Ya's eyes, and silently took a step back.
As he stepped back.
Chen Shaoyan, who was only meters tall and looked like a child of about ten years old, kicked the mud hard, catching the middle-aged man off guard, and dust splashed into his eyes!
He subconsciously covered his face, and then heard a deafening gunshot. When he rubbed the sand from his eyes, he saw that everyone around him was lying in a pool of blood, and the black, hot muzzle of the gun was pointing at him.
So fast, so fierce.
Hit the iron plate.
The middle-aged man's lips were dry and he stared at the girl in front of him and spoke with difficulty:
"We are the Seventh Ring Construction Company. If you let me go, there is still a way out."
Chen Shaoyan pulled the trigger and the middle-aged man's head exploded.
She reloaded her bullets expressionlessly, skillfully searched for money from more than a dozen corpses, and quickly said:
"Change places and run to where there are more people."
Chen Xin covered the silly girl's eyes and nodded silently. There was a reason why the elder sister, with such a beautiful appearance, could live a stable life in Huomen and even work hard to gain a certain status.
Before the security guards of this large factory caught up with them, the two of them fled with Sha Ya. While running away, Chen Xin saw a black crow on a tree, looking at them.
He didn't know why he could see the humane word "look at" in the eyes of a flat-haired beast, but that was how he felt.
………………
The roar of the hovercraft engine was getting closer. Chen Xiang probed with his mind, his expression froze, and he didn't bother to cover up. He picked up the sack with the unconscious Professor Su inside, opened the secret room, and threw it in. The secret room was closed, and when he returned to the living room, the hovercraft was just stable by the window, the door opened, and the people inside jumped into the house.
"You are indeed here."
Lin Yulang smiled, and the vice president who jumped in also smiled:
"Xiao Chen, this is classmate Wei, right? The academy was worried about you, so I took Lecturer Lin to look for you all over the place, and finally found you."
"Vice Dean, Lecturer Lin." Chen Xiang and Wei Qingqiu greeted at the same time.
The vice president nodded calmly towards Wei Qingqiu, not taking it seriously, and patted Chen Xiang's shoulder affectionately, sighing:
"The incident happened too quickly. The outer third ring was in complete chaos. Now the main body of the academy has moved to the sixth ring. The dean is worried about you and told me to find you. You must not get into trouble."
Chen Xiang's face showed an expression of being flattered:
"Vice President, how can I be so worthy of this?"
"You are one of the few true geniuses since the establishment of the academy, and you dare to stand up for your teachers and classmates at the critical moment. In this era, you are rare and deserve all the attention you can give!"
After a pause, the vice president said kindly:
"There's a new policy from above. Our college must leave the outer third ring road as a whole. I'd better go back to the eighth ring road before the policy is fully implemented. Let's go to the sixth ring road first. The dean wants to see you."
The entire college will be separated from the outer third ring road?
Chen Xiang's heart was heavy. Was it because the seventh and eighth rings were abandoned just like the ninth ring?
He didn't know what the dean wanted to do, but it was definitely not a good thing and his plan was very deep.
As his mind turned over and over, a look of gratitude appeared on Chen Xiang's face:
"I understand the good intentions of the college, but my family is missing now. Vice President, can you wait for me to find them first?"
"Don't worry, I checked for you before I came here. Your elder sister and second brother were on the list of elites who entered the seventh ring yesterday. Oh, and there is also a girl named Chen Xiaoya."
The vice president smiled and said:
"They will be properly arranged in the Seventh Ring Road. It's hard to find them now. Once they are more stable, the academy will send someone to take them to the Sixth Ring Road. Don't worry."
Chen Xiang nodded gratefully, his heart slightly tense.
The eldest sister, the second brother and the silly girl have all entered the seventh ring, what about little Salem?
There is no way that the elder sister would abandon Little Salem. Something must have happened, especially at this special time.
He was not too worried and guessed that there was something wrong with little Salem, and that he might even be the first generation.
Now, it depends on why the dean wants to see me so eagerly, and also Lin Yulang. How did this guy get involved with the top management of the college?
Chen Xiang did not refuse again. After exchanging a glance with Wei Qingqiu, he nodded and said:
"Then I will follow the arrangements of the academy!"
"Okay, get in the car and get back to the Sixth Ring Road as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I'm discovered coming here, I'll be in some trouble. Don't be afraid. There are always countermeasures for every policy. If there is any trouble, it will only be a minor one for now."
Taking Xiao Wei onto the hovercraft, Chen Xiang was a little worried about Professor Sura's condition, but he did not show it. He just listened quietly to the roar of the hovercraft's engine.
The hovercraft slowly rose up, and the entire situation of the Eight Rings came into view.
There were flames everywhere, the dust had not yet settled, the air was filled with concrete powder and the smell of despair, and the area near the huge space-time rift was completely reduced to ruins.
The sun has set, and night has just come.
Today, the Eighth Ring Road has long lost its former flashing neon lights; instead, it is filled with flames, from fires that could not be extinguished even by floods, and from torches in the hands of desperate people who did not have time to escape.
In those areas that were not flooded, you can still see the wreckage of vehicles scattered all over the place, and the windows of shops have been broken.
The smoke from the ruins grew thicker, calming the sound of the flood a little, and it sounded like Bahuan's faint cry.
"That crow is flying so high."
Wei Qingqiu suddenly spoke, and Chen Xiang followed her gaze and saw a pitch-black crow flying by not far away.
The crow glanced sideways, as if sizing them up, with an ominous look in its dark red pupils.
Chen Xiang noticed that Lin Yulang lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, as if...
salute.
………………
"Sue the dead bird?"
In the escaped Eighth Ring Villa, Lu Sarah sat alone in a wheelchair and crushed a crow to death. There was no blood or internal organs bursting out, but instead there were straws that pricked his hand one after another.
He looked at the large box containing wooden boxes that had not been taken away, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
"The one coming from the Deep Void Church is not a false god."
"It's troublesome."
Lu Sarah sighed, peeled a boiled egg, which he disliked the most, and chewed it slowly.
"That guy is not here, so at least there is no nagging."
He touched his ears, sitting alone in the wheelchair, and muttered to himself with regret.
