In the silent rainy night, from time to time, there were roars of unknown creatures, gunshots, car crashes, explosions, and, mixed in with these different sounds, the weird and creepy cry of babies.
Various different sounds made the atmosphere in the detention center unusually quiet.
There were so many people, but no one dared to make a noise.
The guards and the detainees squatted in the warehouse together, quietly waiting for the chaos outside to pass.
"Pop!"
In this quiet and uncomfortable atmosphere, Lu Xin lit a cigarette. Seeing that many eyes were looking at him, he shook his shoulders unnaturally, signaled to everyone, and said, "Would you like one too?"
The guards and the detainees looked at each other, and the young guard who bought the cigarettes took it and started to distribute them one by one. He seemed to subconsciously not want to trouble Lu Xin, so he took the initiative to distribute the cigarettes for him. But Lu Xin looked at the cigarettes that were decreasing rapidly, and his eyes looked a little strange. But after hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to stop him from distributing cigarettes.
Then everyone huddled in the warehouse, smoking silently, and no one dared to sleep.
"Brother, what is this... outside?"
After an unknown amount of time, a guard finally reacted and asked Lu Xin with courage.
"Mad man."
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Xin smoked silently and answered softly.
"Madman?"
The guards and the prisoners in the warehouses on both sides were a little agitated, with doubts on their faces: "Is this a madman?"
"No, I've seen madmen in the circus before, not like this?"
"Not just in the circus? I've seen madmen in the wilderness before, and they're different from this one. Guns can kill them..."
"..."
Facing everyone's doubts, Lu Xin flicked the ash and said, "It's very simple, it's a mutation."
"Mutated?"
There was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air all around.
Everyone's heart was filled with panic: "Fuck, can a madman mutate?"
"It's over! The mutated madman suddenly appeared inside the high wall. There won't be another chaos, right?"
"... Brothers, if there is chaos again, will you let us go?"
"..."
"It's okay."
Facing the panicked people around, Lu Xin felt that he needed to popularize science with them to dispel their panic, and said with a smile: "There won't be another chaos like before. Now all the high-walled cities have experience, and there are some... special people guarding them. Besides, many targeted technologies have come out now. Even if we encounter a madman again, it won't be as chaotic as before."
"No matter how powerful the madman is, a high-frequency ion cannon will kill a large number of people!"
"..."
Lu Xin's explanation, or the ease in his words, played a good role in calming the people around him.
The guy who was clamoring to go out just now was relieved and didn't say anything.
Lu Xin could also feel the admiration in these people's eyes, which was quite comfortable.
"Brother, what do you do?"
An older guard took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket that he usually didn't want to smoke, with purple filters.
He carefully weighed out a cigarette and gave it to Lu Xin. .
Lu Xin glanced at him, threw the cigarette that had been smoked to the butt on the ground, stepped on it, took his cigarette box, gave him the one he had weighed out, then touched a cigarette himself, lit it on the fire handed to him by someone else, and sighed:
"I work in a business company in Qinggang. I was promoted not long ago and am now a supervisor."
"Great, great, young and promising..."
"Sure enough, this big brother is a person of status at first glance. He must make a lot of money, right?"
"..."
There was a sound of flattery around, and then someone asked: "This big brother, how did you get in?"
Lu Xin took a puff of cigarette and sighed: "I shot someone with a gun."
The people around him suddenly became nervous: "Fuck, was it shot inside or outside the wall?"
Lu Xin said: "Inside the wall."
The group of people suddenly became more nervous: "Is the person dead?"
Lu Xin shook his head: "Probably not."
"That's not bad..."
Everyone around was relieved: "It shouldn't be too serious, right?"
"Not necessarily..."
An old guard said worriedly: "Did you bring a gun into the city?"
Lu Xin said: "No, I stole the gun from the police officer next to me."
Everyone around was stunned: "Fuck..."
Lu Xin said: "Then I shot him with two magazines of bullets in front of them."
Everyone around was shocked: "Fuck..."
Lu Xin said: "That person should have a good background, and his family relationship is not ordinary..."
"..."
Everyone around was so scared that they couldn't even speak.
Seeing how panicked they were, Lu Xin was also a little worried, and hurriedly said: "Under normal circumstances, how many years would this sentence be? "
The old guard took a breath and lowered his voice and said, "Little brother, you have a big problem. You stole a gun and seriously injured someone. You shot so many bullets at him. It's unlikely that you will survive... In addition, if his family really has a background and a high status, they can put some pressure on the administrative office. I think... If you are lucky, you can open up wasteland for the rest of your life..."
Lu Xin was also a little confused when he heard it: "Fuck..."
...
While talking and chatting, the chaos outside disappeared without a trace, and the light of dawn came through the small window.
Everyone was nervous all night, and some people were so carefree that they slept against the wall.
"Click, click, click"
Suddenly, in the corridor outside, there was the sound of hard-soled heels stepping on the concrete floor. The sound kept getting closer, and then there was the sound of the iron door opening and closing. In the warehouse, many people suddenly became alert, got up in a panic, and looked outside.
Lu Xin didn't sleep well at this time, worried that he would open up wasteland for the rest of his life.
I looked up and looked outside. It didn't sound like a madman.
"Who is Lu Xin?"
Soon the footsteps came to the warehouse. I saw several people in military uniforms or black suits. They all had gloomy faces and looked very capable. There was no extra expression on their faces. Even when I saw the guards now, crowded with prisoners, and some of them even slept in disheveled clothes and sleepy eyes, my face did not change. I just asked coldly.
"Ah?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised and raised his hand: "I am."
I was a little worried. He came to see me so early. Could it be because of the beating yesterday?
"It's you? "
These people looked at Lu Xin, who was holding up his pants with one hand and looked a little nervous, and then stepped aside.
"Click, click, click"
The footsteps sounded again, and a woman with short hair and a slim black casual suit appeared outside the fence.
She glanced at Lu Xin and said with a smile: "Did you have a good night last night?"
"Ah, this..."
Lu Xin was a little surprised when he saw this woman. He wiped his eyes hard and finally confirmed it.
"Chen... Team Leader?"
The short-haired woman who appeared outside the fence was Chen Jing.
Lu Xin never thought that under such circumstances, Chen Jing would suddenly appear in front of him.
"Open it! "
Chen Jing finally laughed, but stopped, keeping a serious look, and moved aside.
In fact, the iron fence was not locked, and the guards came in on their own initiative last night.
Lu Xin came out with his pants held up, and greeted Chen Jing with a serious look, but in fact, he was smiling all the time. He also felt a little embarrassed.
He met an acquaintance from Qinggang in the central city, who was his leader, and was in the detention center, and...
...he didn't even have a belt now.
"Bring his things here."
Chen Jing saw Lu Xin's embarrassment and said to the person next to him: "Especially his belt. "
As he said that, he took Lu Xin out. After walking out of the long corridor, he saw that the corpse of the monster killed last night in the hall had disappeared. There were only pieces of black scorch marks on the ground, surrounded by eye-catching lines.
No one touched Lu Xin's things. His bag, the things in his pocket, and his belt were all taken over.
"Let's go. There are still important things waiting to be done."
Chen Jing waited for Lu Xin to pack himself up, and then said to him with a smile.
"Are you leaving now?"
Lu Xin was somewhat surprised. He couldn't help but look back at the warehouse, and then looked at the people who accompanied Chen Jing. He felt a little unreasonable and asked in a low voice: "I was locked up here because I shot someone..."
"Will it be bad to just leave like this?"
"..."
"What? "
The people who accompanied Chen Jing were a little stunned and looked at him with strange eyes.
What's the matter, are you addicted to living here?
Chen Jing exhaled softly, turned around, looked at Lu Xin seriously, and said loudly: "Mr. Lu, we have investigated what happened last night. Zhao Hui, the quality inspection supervisor of the warehouse management department of Dadi Group, is suspected of leaking confidential information of a subordinate experimental base of the Central City Research Institute. Gao Ting, the head of a certain team from Hongling City, who came to Hongling City, also has some bad intentions!"
"As a Qinggang citizen who is brave and righteous, you did what you should do and should be commended for it!"
"Of course, you robbed the gun of the police officer of the No. 7 satellite city in the Central City and caused serious personal injury to Zhao Hui. This is also a serious violation of discipline and you need to be punished. But now, considering the urgency of the situation, your cooperation is needed. In addition, after the shooting, you took the initiative to return the empty gun and surrendered yourself. You have a good attitude of confessing your guilt, so you can be given a lighter sentence at your discretion! "
As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper with a red seal and formally said to Lu Xin: "Now my Qinggang Office in the Central City has officially submitted an application to the Central City Administrative Office to temporarily take you out to help deal with an emergency pollution incident."
"The punishment you have not yet fulfilled will be compensated in the form of merits or fines."
"Of course."
She put the paper away, and finally couldn't hold back her smile, but still said seriously: "The fine has been paid for you."
"Ah this..."
Lu Xin looked at Chen Jing blankly, and his heart was suddenly moved.
