Dawn of a New Era

When Chen Shouyi saw Bai Xiaoling's anxious expression, he knew something had happened.

"Mom and Dad! I'm back."

"Officer Bai has been waiting for you for a long time!" Mother Chen said.

Bai Xiaoling quickly said, "No, I've only been here not long ago."

"Facts, are you in no hurry?" Chen Shouyi asked aloud.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

"Well, then I'll go and change first," Chen Shouyi said.

He walked quickly to the second floor, ripped off the clothes and pants that had been smashed by the iron rod, and threw them into the trash can, then went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, picked out a suit of clothes at random, and put on a mask. Get out of the bedroom.

...

The two walked out the door.

"What's the matter?"

"I have a tricky task!" Bai Xiaoling replied in a low voice while walking quickly: "Let me tell you on the road, I will be your car, the road is a bit far away!"

If it is a car, it is naturally a bicycle.

Without any objection, Chen Shouyi put the bow bag on the handlebar and pushed the bike out of the garage.

After Bai Xiaoling sat down, she hugged Chen Shouyi's waist naturally. She had learned her lesson last time, and she said:

"This mission is quite dangerous. It happened at Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy. The first death was five days ago. Four students in a dormitory were silently devoured by someone, leaving only a pile of bones.

So far, the death toll has reached 26, including 22 students, two martial arts teachers, and two military warriors, one of whom is a great warrior! "

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly when he heard this.

The military has always been in charge of the security of Hedong City now, and the warriors in the safe zone are still in closed military training. The people who dispatched the military didn't feel any surprise, but they didn't expect that even the great warriors died.

And he also discovered a problem, those who died were not ordinary people, even the ordinary students of the Martial Arts Academy had the strength of martial artist apprentices, and the teachers who taught martial arts were basically martial artists.

"Is it a barbarian or a monster?" Chen Shouyi asked aloud.

"It's not clear yet. Before I came here, I roughly read the case files. According to the traces of gnawing on the bones and the footprints at the scene, it should be a creature similar to a human. It may be a barbarian, or it may be a human?"

"Did no one see it?" Chen Shouyi asked suspiciously.

It stands to reason that with so many people in an academy, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible for it to have no witnesses.

"This is the strangest part. No one saw its true face, as if it could become invisible. Even the military warrior died without a sound. When his wreckage was found, it was already the next morning. .”

Chen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. This incident was really unbelievable. A great warrior had no strength to resist, and died quietly: "Where are the military warriors, haven't they been dispatched?"

"The higher-ups are in contact," Bai Xiaoling said.

It's better not to be alone.

Chen Shouyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What people fear the most is neither knives nor guns, but is often related to mystery. What he fears most is this kind of weird monster who knows nothing.

I just don't know, who will the martial artist come?

Xiao Changming?

It's still Lei Ruiyang!

However, the biggest possibility should be Xiao Changming. Civilian warriors conduct closed training. It is impossible for them to be guarded by no one. With his strong temper, he will even stare at these civilian warriors for military training.

...

The newly moved Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy is located at the outermost edge of the safety zone, next to the countryside. Compared with the old campus, the campus is pitifully small, only the size of an elementary school.

It is estimated that a primary school was originally planned here.

At this time, the entire Martial Arts Academy was blocked by heavily armed soldiers. On the balconies of nearby buildings, a large number of snipers could be seen looming, and Chen Shouyi could even see a few cannons erected on the roof.

There was an air of solemnity.

When Chen Shouyi and Bai Xiaoling took out the chief security adviser's certificate and the police officer's certificate respectively to enter the school gate, they found that there were more military police inside.

Many soldiers and policemen are inspecting the ground inch by inch, trying to find out where the man-eating monster is hiding.

"Are you sure the monster is in the martial arts academy?" Chen Shouyi asked with his head tilted.

"It should be nine times out of ten. The army surrounded the entire academy yesterday, but the two military warriors still died in the night." Bai Xiaoling smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind and said. Riding on Chen Shouyi's bicycle was really exciting. .

There was a section of the road that was especially close to the Martial Arts Academy. The road surface had not yet been paved with concrete, and the whole bike seemed to be bouncing. Up to now, she couldn't feel her buttocks.

The whole thing is numb.

Chen Shouyi parked his bicycle in the parking shed, and soon walked into a large office, which had become a joint command room for the police and the military.

Xiao Changming and the two great warriors from the military had already arrived. Seeing Chen Shouyi coming in, except for Xiao Changming who nodded slightly, the other two great warriors turned their faces coldly.

Obviously, after offending Lei Ruiyang at the last meeting, he also offended the warriors of the military to a certain extent, at least it was definitely not a good impression. The military always pays attention to unity, and now many people probably don't like him very much.

Chen Shouyi was calm and didn't care at all.

It's nothing to worry about, military warriors and civilian warriors have never had less than one pot of piss.

After Bai Xiaoling's introduction, Chen Shouyi shook hands with the leaders of the police and the military respectively, and after a few simple words of courtesy, he found a seat and sat down.

The police came with a deputy director, while the military came with a regimental commander.

But compared to the large number of warriors in the military, the police side was much poorer, and Chen Shouyi was the only one.

"Xiao Li, explain the current situation to General Counsel Chen." The deputy director named Fang Zhihai, a thin middle-aged man, said to a young and capable policewoman standing beside him.

"Yes, Chief Fang!"

"Mr. Chen, hello, my name is Li Zhenzhen!" The policewoman first made a cup of tea for Chen Shouyi, and then introduced the situation to him: "Now all the students and teachers have gathered on the playground, which is also the focus of this mission Protect the place, when the time comes, you and the military warriors will act as a mobile force..."

The policewoman briefly explained the situation.

Chen Shouyi was thoughtful. The purpose of doing this was probably not just for protection, but also for some kind of monitoring and investigation. If it was just to protect the safety of students and teachers, these students and teachers could be released from this dangerous campus. Or simply join the search team.

It is estimated that the police suspected that this mysterious murderer was hiding among the students and teachers.

...

In the evening, he ate box lunches. Although considering his big appetite, he ordered four boxes, Chen Shouyi still felt that he was only half full.

He deliberately walked to the unoccupied corner on the third floor of the administrative building, finished his meal, put on a mask, and was just about to go downstairs.

bang...

In the gloomy sky, there was the sound of rolling thunder, and a flash of lightning flashed across the distant sky. He immediately looked up and found that the sky was covered with dark clouds.

He sniffed the air lightly.

It seems to have a damp breath.

"It might rain!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself, "Tonight is going to be hard!"

It is now mid-April, the climate has gradually warmed up, and the rainy weather has gradually increased.

He looked at his watch, and it was not yet five o'clock. According to the time of past murders, they were all in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, it was still early, so he walked out of the administrative building, and after asking a soldier, he came soon to the playground.

At a glance, the playground is densely packed with students and teachers sitting on the ground, and the estimated number is more than 3,000. At this time, the teachers of each class are receiving their class lunches.

From the faces of these students, there was not much panic. Instead, many people were excited to participate in group activities, and the atmosphere was extremely noisy.

There are very few trees on the playground, only a circle of small trees are planted around the wall. Judging by the bulging mud bumps under the tree, it should have been planted not long ago.

Chen Shouyi carefully observed the surrounding terrain, then turned and returned to the administration building.
