Chapter 131 Aurora City's Order

Xi Renjie quickly walked through the headquarters hall and entered the telegraph room.

At this moment, two law enforcers were on duty in the telegraph room. Seeing Xi Renjie coming, they stood up from their seats.

"Chief Xi..."

"Is there a text message from Aurora City?"

"Yes."

"Does anyone else know?"

"No, we notified you as soon as possible... and the content of this text message requires your identity code to receive it."

Xi Renjie frowned slightly, waved his hand, asked everyone in the telegraph room to leave, then locked the door himself and walked towards the special telegraph in the center of the room.

Han Meng did not come back, and Aurora City did not send reinforcements. At this juncture, Aurora City suddenly sent a message to District 3, and it was an encrypted message directed at itself...

This shows that the thick fog did not hinder the transmission of the message, and Aurora City also knew that he was the acting director of District 3. As long as he thought about it a little, he could feel something was wrong.

Xi Renjie sat down in front of the telegraph machine, tapped the keys to enter his code, and after a short pause, a short message was automatically printed out.

Click... click... click...

The white paper rose from the top of the machine little by little, and lines of characters appeared in front of Xi Renjie.

"【Broken Tail Plan】..." Seeing the four big words at the beginning, Xi Renjie's heart suddenly shook. He stared at the characters gradually appearing on it, and his eyes were filled with shock!

This short message explained that Aurora City was about to abandon the seven districts, but there was no explanation. Instead, it directly ordered Xi Renjie to lead the law enforcers on the list and take the train to Aurora City as soon as possible.

Chen Ling's guess was right. Aurora City...really going to give up the seven districts? !

Xi Renjie suddenly felt his mind go blank. He looked at the names that were printed one by one, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Now the destruction of the three districts has become inevitable, and it is only a matter of time. Aurora City gave this list, and it should be to select some people from the seven districts to fill the vacancies in the city. But what puzzled Xi Renjie was... Chen Ling was not on this list.

Chen Ling is an enforcer of the [Shura] path. Although he is only the first level, his potential is not bad. Even those enforcers who are lazy all day are on the list. Why can't Chen Ling be on the list?

As if to answer Xi Renjie's doubts, as the last name on the list appeared, another line of lonely characters popped up with a click:

[Order 2: Before all members retreat, no matter what means, eliminate the heretic Chen Ling! ]

The moment Xi Renjie saw this line of words, his pupils suddenly contracted!

There was no reason, no explanation, this line of command was the last text in the encrypted message, like a line of unquestionable Aurora City instructions.

"Heretic... Chen Ling?" Xi Renjie's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand why Chen Ling was a heretic and why he was hunted by Aurora City?

Xi Renjie immediately used the telegraph to send another message to Aurora City, asking for the reason for killing Chen Ling, but he waited in the house for nearly half an hour, and there was no response from the other side, as if they had lost contact again.

The noise and commotion outside the window became louder and louder, and Xi Renjie could not sit still. He took a last look at the telegraph, got up and pushed the door open.

"Commander Xi, why did you take so long to go in?" asked the law enforcer who had been guarding the door. "What did Aurora City say? Are reinforcements coming?"

This law enforcer was Xi Renjie's confidant and a good person, but at this moment, under his anxious questioning, Xi Renjie could only fall silent...

"Commander Xi, the situation outside is not good. Many residents have gathered at the entrance of the headquarters." Several more law enforcers hurried over, "They want to ask what happened in Districts 2 and 4, and whether District 3 will be in danger... They all seem to be scared."

"Commander Xi, some residents in the south said that there seemed to be strange cries approaching District 4. Could it be that the disaster that slaughtered District 4 is coming?"

"Commander... what should we do next?"

More and more law enforcers surrounded Xi Renjie, their faces a little pale. Although they have been law enforcers for many years, this is the first time they have encountered such a scene. They are a little panicked like the people outside.

Outside the gate of the law enforcer headquarters, there was a continuous noise and knocking; inside the gate, the faces of many law enforcers were anxious and fearful under the light of the kerosene lamp.

Xi Renjie's eyes swept over these law enforcers one after another, and his hand holding the list clenched unconsciously...

"Tan Ming, come with me."

He struggled for a long time in his heart, and still spoke hoarsely, then pushed through the crowd and walked straight to the back door of the headquarters.

The law enforcer named Tan Ming was stunned and immediately followed. Two figures opened the narrow back door in the night and disappeared in the thick fog... Only the other law enforcers were left standing there, their eyes full of confusion.

...

"Brother Jie, what happened?"

Tan Ming is a law enforcer who has followed Xi Renjie for many years. He is a good person and is considered his confidant. His name is on the list of transfers this time.

Xi Renjie walked silently on the dim streets, passing through alleys. Through the gaps in the alleys, he could see that the gate of the headquarters had indeed been surrounded by a group of people... They did not stop and walked silently further away.

"Aurora City is going to give up the seven districts." Xi Renjie said hoarsely.

"What?!" Tan Ming's eyes widened.

Xi Renjie handed over the text message in his hand directly. Tan Ming read it carefully, and a deep shock appeared on his face!

"Then... what about these people? There are 40,000 people alive in District 3 now!" Tan Ming couldn't help asking, "If we leave, will we just leave them to fend for themselves?"

Xi Renjie paused.

He looked at the many streets that were gradually lighting up, and guilt and struggle appeared in his eyes.

"I don't know... Before Mengge left, he asked us to guard the third district... But we can't do it at all. If we stay, we can only die with them..."

"What's the matter with this list? Most of the people on it are those parasites who eat and drink for free and do whatever they want! The real law enforcers are not on it at all... What is Aurora City thinking?" Tan Ming said indignantly, "Are they really going to take these parasites away and leave our brothers here to die?"

"... I don't know, I really don't know!"

Xi Renjie grabbed his hair with both hands, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and reason and emotion were fighting wildly in his mind.
