Chapter 248 Go Quickly! If You Go Too Late, There Will Be No One Left Alive!

"What?!"

Su Yi was stunned for a few seconds when he first received the message. He almost thought that the correspondent had sent wrong information.

It is normal for the Xinchang land reclamation team to have casualties, but were the bodies killed by survivors?

There is a ghost mist outside the city. Who has the courage to wander around casually and has the ability to successfully kill people in the ghost mist?

"Is the news accurate?"

Su Yi responded quickly and questioned the staff of the headquarters. A serious voice came from the communication device: "Chief, the news is basically conclusive. Seven professionals from Xinchang have inspected the body, and the inspection results of the body are basically consistent."

"Two minutes ago, Dongfang Command has drawn up a professional team to rush to Xinchang and notified Xinchang to enter the city's second-level combat alert state."

"Is it the survivors from two cities away who are causing trouble?"

Su Yi frowned, and the staff replied: "This possibility is not ruled out at present. Commander Dongfang pointed out that the murderer has two possibilities: inside the city and outside the city."

"Either the special talents in the city are waiting for the opportunity to kill, or the non-local survivors outside the city are killing them."

"I understand, do as Commander Dongfang says."

Su Yi nodded, hung up the communication device and fell into deep thought.

This may seem like a minor casualty of a team, but it represents a completely different meaning.

If the murderer is within two cities, this matter is considered an internal security issue at best and not too serious; but if the murderer is a foreigner from outside the city, the significance is extraordinary!

Outside the two cities, even the nearest urban area is dozens of kilometers away from the two cities.

These dozens of kilometers are filled with ghost fog. How can one overcome the ghost fog without some real skills?

The most important thing is, if it was someone from outside the city, why would he kill the survivors in Xinchang?

"Did it happen accidentally? Or was it intentional?"

Su Yi frowned. He had to consider the possibility that the murderer came from outside the city. He was even thinking about the identity of the murderer: "Is he from Guangling?"

Su Yi looked up at the detailed map of the country hanging on the wall. There were many large and small towns near Xinchang, and Jinling was the largest city near Xinchang.

On the contrary, Guangling City is geographically far away from both cities.

There are many towns, villages, and individual municipal cities in between.

"If the murderer came from Guangling, it is 123 kilometers from Guangling to Xinchang."

"It's 100 kilometers from Guangling to Jinling. Obviously Jinling is closer."

"Moreover, if Guangling intends to expand outward, why should it go to Xinchang and Jinling rather than the nearer ones? There are other cities to choose from within these hundreds of kilometers."

Su Yi couldn't figure it out. He felt that the possibility of the murderer coming from Guangling was relatively low.

"Maybe it's not from Guangling. Maybe it's because I'm thinking about Guangling in my heart, so I thought of it reflexively."

"Even if Guangling has completed internal unification and has the strength to expand outward, it may not be able to span hundreds of kilometers."

"Even if it were me, in the third doomsday situation, it would be impossible to easily send a team to such a far place. There would be too many variables encountered, and the benefits would be completely disproportionate."

"If it's not Guangling, then who is it? Someone from the nearby towns and villages?"

Su Yi frowned: "Is the murderer one person? Or multiple people? Why do you want to kill the people in Xinchang? Is there any hatred?"

"Of course, it is also possible that this was just a killing of passion, a temporary conflict caused by the encounter between the two parties."

"The most important thing is that the body was found not far outside the city. If the murderer had not left... he might have sneaked into the city!"

Su Yi suddenly woke up, quickly grabbed the communication device, and contacted the Xinchang headquarters unilaterally.

"Hello, hello, this is the Xinchang Command Center."

Chen Xun's voice came from the other end of the communication end, and Su Yi said in a deep voice: "Let Chen Dafeng answer the call."

"Looking for Captain Chen..."

Chen Xun was stunned. He looked down at the communication number and his expression changed: "It's the chief! Chief, I'll notify Captain Chen right now!"

Chen Xun did not dare to neglect. This was the first time he received a special private communication number from the chief, and it was also the first time he heard the chief's voice.

After a while, Chen Dafeng's voice appeared on the communication terminal: "Chief, are you looking for me?"

Chen Dafeng's tone was calm, with a hint of politeness.

This was completely different from his usual carelessness. Chen Xun could even see that the boy was holding a communication device in both hands, and his whole body was telling what it meant to be careful.

"Regarding the murder of members of the Xinchang land reclamation team, I suspect the murderer may have entered the city."

"The murderer has entered the city?"

Chen Dafeng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted: "Chief, have you found out where he is? I'll go arrest him right away!"

He thought Su Yi was looking for him to catch the murderer.

"I don't know yet."

Su Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "But I remember that in the summary of survivor talent information reported by Xinchang last month, there was a survivor with a special talent that can see the memories of other people in the last 24 hours, right?"

"It seems...there is such a person, right?"

Chen Dafeng hesitated. How did he know that Xinchang had any survivor talents? He didn't care about these things at all.

"There is this person. Her name is Xu Li. She is a 24-year-old woman. She is currently working as a temporary employee in the Department of Special Talents and assists in handling logistical matters."

Chen Xun on the side suddenly spoke. After a pause, he added: "An hour ago, Liu Wenbo temporarily transferred her to a special team responsible for examining the cause of death and the death process of the corpses."

"It seems that your reaction speed is quite fast."

Su Yi smiled and ordered: "Chen Dafeng, go and protect Xu Li immediately! You must ensure the safety of the members of the special team until they find out the identity of the murderer."

"In addition, Chen Xun, notify the Xinchang headquarters to inform the management of the news that the murderer is suspected of entering the city, but do not spread it to the people or cause panic."

"You disperse all the defenders throughout the city to ensure that if any unexpected situation occurs, the defenders can rush to the scene as soon as possible!"

Su Yi's voice was urgent and fast. In fact, he didn't need too many arrangements. After hearing Su Yi's analysis, Chen Xun already understood what to do.

"Captain Chen, go to the special team quickly!"

Chen Xun urged Chen Dafeng, and he took the initiative to take over the communication device: "Chief, don't worry, if the murderer really enters the city, we will definitely find him!"

"Just do your best."

Su Yi paused and suddenly said: "Chen Xun, I remember that you can see people's shelter information, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Chen Xun nodded, as if he realized what Su Yi was going to say.

"Then if the murderer is not a survivor of Xinchang and Jinling, you should be able to tell. Even if your talent cannot see the complete shelter information, the shelter's ownership information should be visible."

Su Yi squinted his eyes slightly: "In addition, I remember that the census work in Xinchang is about to be carried out in the next few days, and the relevant staff and teams are also ready."

"I understand, Chief."

Chen Xun took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "I will lead the team myself, right now! Start a city-wide manhunt immediately!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Once you find something abnormal, don't expose it and notify Chen Dafeng first."

Su Yi nodded: "No matter how strong the murderer is, I believe Chen Dafeng can withstand it for at least a while. Jinling is already preparing new rescue forces to rush to Xinchang."

Su Yi attaches great importance to this matter, and he is also worried about whether the weak Xinchang can withstand the murderer hiding in the dark.

After all, a survivor who can do whatever he wants in the ghost mist is definitely not weak, and he is definitely capable of causing havoc in an entire city.

"Wait, Chief!"

Chen Xun suddenly reminded: "The new rescue force should not be anxious. Maybe they can wait until the murderer is discovered before supporting Xinchang...Actually, what I mean is, what if this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Everyone in the two cities knows that Xinchang no longer has a legitimate commander. Liu Wenbo has been revoked as a commander by his superiors. You are the only official commander in the two cities."

"If the real target of the murderer was Jinling, the murder in Xinchang was an attack in the east and in the west."

Chen Xun reminded in a low voice, causing Su Yi to wake up immediately.

yes!

He just felt that the sudden appearance of murderers in Xinchang was a bit inexplicable. There were strong men who could easily cross the ghost fog outside the city, so why did they go to Xinchang to kill some wasteland pioneers?

Was it because you were full?

As the saying goes, everything happens for a reason, and there must be key reasons that you can't think of.

Chen Xun's reminder at this moment made Su Yi realize that in the recent call between the national mechanism and major commanders, the replacement of new commanders and the cancellation of the status of some old commanders had been announced on a large scale.

Although there is no specific list announced above, it is not difficult for smart commanders to guess the country's plans, and even predict disputes and conflicts of interest between old and new commanders.

At this grassroots level, will there be smarter commanders who take targeted measures and take some actions to muddy the water? So as to make your own interests and safety more secure?

For example... triggering disputes among multiple surrounding commanders in advance, or assassinating commanders to plunge a place into chaos.

No matter which point is achieved, it can at least ensure that he will not be in the whirlpool of commanders' disputes in the near future, and may even reap the benefits.

"Drawing trouble to the east? Killing someone with a borrowed knife? Driving a tiger to devour a wolf?"

Several words popped into Su Yi's mind. He didn't know what the murderer wanted to do, but what Chen Xun said was very reasonable, and Su Yi had to guard against it.

"Well, I understand."

Su Yi took a deep breath: "We must find the murderer as soon as possible and find out the truth of the matter so that we can give an explanation to the deceased."

"Yes, Chief!"

Chen Xun responded in a deep voice.

After hanging up the communication, Su Yi devoted himself almost wholeheartedly to the large-scale supervision of Xinchang City.

The activities of various major personnel are all under Su Yi's supervision.

Su Yi even connected the perspectives of multiple defenders, constantly checking for any suspicious targets in the city through the defenders' soldiers distributed in every corner of the city.

Maybe the murderer was hiding too deep, or maybe the murderer didn't enter the city at all, but Su Yi didn't notice anything unusual.

Two hours later, the latest information came from Xinchang.

Chen Xun applied to call Su Yi and informed him of the latest news alone.

"Chief, the results of the special team's inspection are out."

"Based on the comprehensive review of multiple corpses and the effects of talents, it has been confirmed that the murderers came from outside the city, not from the survivors of Xinchang and Jinling, and there are many murderers."

"Based on the analysis of the images seen by the deceased before his death, it is roughly estimated that there are at least more than 200 people."

"The means used by the murderer to break through the fog is a device that can break through the fog. The deceased did not see it clearly. It is suspected to be a hidden weapon-like mechanism prop or talent skill."

"The lethality is very strong, almost a one-shot kill; the various scars on the deceased's body were left intentionally by the murderer. It is not a fetish for corpse abuse, but it should be to confuse our judgment of the corpse."

"And because the fog was too thick, the deceased only noticed that the murderer merged into the black fog before he died, and did not see their next geographical location and direction, nor did he see clearly whether the murderer was a man or a woman."

"According to the analysis of the think tank of the Xinchang Command, this should be a team of more than 200 survivors, among which there are many strong talent units; the other party's goal is very clear, and they were attacked near Xinchang. They killed the survivors immediately, so they must be well prepared. "

"I guess their target is Xinchang, or they are using Xinchang to divert Jinling's attention."

Chen Xun said his analysis in a deep voice: "Although we are not sure about the location of the murderer, based on the current intelligence, I guess the murderer will soon make the next move."

"It is impossible that they just want to kill a few people. They will definitely make a bigger noise to achieve their goal."

"Xinchang has made corresponding preparations. As long as the murderer takes action again, we will definitely find new clues and even catch him on the spot..."

"They have already started!"

Su Yi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, raising his voice a little: "Chen Xun! You lead the team to Xinchang North City Snack Street immediately! They are there! Chen Dafeng has already met them!"

"Hurry up, right away! Immediately!"

Su Yi's voice was very urgent, and Chen Xun was stunned. He didn't know how the chief knew that Chen Dafeng was ambushed. This was probably the chief's special method.

"I'll take people to rescue Captain Chen right away!"

Chen Xun was about to leave immediately, but unexpectedly heard Su Yi's urgent reminder on the communication terminal: "It's not about rescuing Chen Dafeng! It's about ensuring he survives!"

Su Yi was very anxious: "Go quickly! If you go too late, they will be killed by Chen Dafeng!"

Chen Xun: "???"
