The First Mist Chapter 33: Zhanxu Cemetery
Inside the cave, Zhou Ye handed a cigarette to the captain and expressed his gratitude.
Su Shuang and Cao Fei cleaned up the corpses of the beasts on the ground and took out the folding bags to put them in.
Cao Fei saw Xu Shen standing in a daze at the entrance of the cave and angrily called him for help.
Xu Shen immediately stepped forward to help them collect the bodies, and asked, "Where is He Ming?"
"It's all your fault!"
Cao Fei was so angry when he heard this that he yelled, "If we didn't have a newcomer like you on our team, would He Ming have gotten into trouble? You keep asking questions. You don't know anything, you just keep asking questions!"
Xu Shen was stunned and his face turned cold.
"Cao Fei, that's enough!"
Su Shuang shouted from the side.
Cao Fei's face flushed, and he said angrily: "That's right!"
Zhou Ye, who was chatting with the captain of the fifth formation, heard the noise, frowned, and shouted at Cao Fei: "Enough, Cao Fei, stop talking nonsense! What does He Ming's accident have to do with Xu Shen? He is a newcomer who can protect himself, which is already a good performance!"
Cao Fei's face was filled with anger. He knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xu Shen, but when he saw He Ming's death, he was furious, and he had no place to vent this anger. Cursing Xu Shen made him feel better.
"Xu Shen saved me, so please be polite when speaking to him!" Su Shuang warned Cao Fei.
Cao Fei and Zhou Ye were both stunned. Xu Shen saved Su Shuang?
"I was trapped by a D-level and an E-level beast at that time. Fortunately, Xu Shen came over and killed the two beasts with his own hands!" Su Shuang originally planned to go back and talk about it, but seeing Cao Fei's bad attitude towards Xu Shen, she told the matter now.
This incident will definitely be credited to Xu Shen, and they will know it sooner or later.
"Him? Killed a D-level ruins beast?" Cao Fei widened his eyes and looked at Xu Shen in disbelief, then turned to look at Su Shuang. His expression seemed to be saying, are you kidding me?
Su Shuang snorted coldly and said, "Don't look at him as a newcomer, but his strength is no worse than ours, it's just that his combat experience is a little less, don't take it out on him!"
Cao Fei's expression changed slightly. He naturally understood this. The look he gave Xu Shen was a little different, with a little more aggrieved.
This kind of thing will be recorded in the qualifications. The first entry in Xu Shen’s file is an extremely brilliant one - killing a D-level ruins beast!
"So, if Xu Shen hadn't been here, you would have gotten into trouble too?" Zhou Ye looked at Su Shuang. He didn't doubt that Su Shuang was lying. Based on his understanding of Su Shuang, he knew that the other party would not easily get familiar with others. The only reason why she was speaking for Xu Shen now was this.
Su Shuang thought of He Ming's death, her expression changed, and she said, "You can say that."
Zhou Ye took a deep breath. It was a close call. Two team members were almost lost at once!
If something happened to Su Shuang, he, as the captain, would be to blame.
"Thanks to Xu Shen." Zhou Ye stepped forward and patted Xu Shen on the shoulder, saying, "Don't take Cao Fei's words to heart. Good job. I will report this to the bureau and will definitely reward you!"
Xu Shen smiled slightly and said, "Sister Su is our teammate, so it's only natural for us to help her."
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Ye laughed.
"Captain Zhou, let's go look somewhere else to avoid any damage. The hard work of finishing up will be left to you." said the captain of the fifth formation.
"No, no, you've worked hard. Thank you all. I'll treat you to dinner next time!" Zhou Ye said quickly.
Xu Shen saw that the young man who passed through the wall followed the five people and left.
He didn't know whether the young man was a human or a ghost, but it was obvious that neither of them noticed each other.
Xu Shen bent down to collect the beasts, cut them into pieces, arranged them, and put them into a foldable bag.
"You don't seem afraid at all?" Su Shuang noticed Xu Shen's skillful posture and was slightly stunned.
Having just come out of the training camp, it was good enough that he didn't get scared to the point of his legs Looking at Xu Shen's reaction, he seemed particularly dull.
"Huh?" Xu Shen asked, "Aren't they dead?"
Su Shuang was speechless after being asked this question. He was indeed dead...but it was so bloody, did you really not have any reaction?
Even those veteran team members who have been with the team for one or two years would feel their stomachs churning and their brows furrowed when dealing with these corpses, and it was difficult for them to remain calm.
"That's right..." Su Shuang said angrily, and then started to deal with it on her own.
"There are not enough body bags. Only the core part was taken. The outer limbs were thrown away." Zhou Ye said helplessly: "It's too late to send body bags now. It's a pity that I didn't ask them for some."
Xu Shen was stunned and said, "Why is it too late? Half an hour is enough for our bureau to get here."
"In half an hour, the bodies of these people have been dissolved." Su Shuang replied.
"Dissolve?"
"Once a Xu dies, if it is not dealt with and discarded naturally, it will gradually dissolve and disappear in the Xu world, or in other words, disappear in the level of the Xu world that we can see." Su Shuang explained.
Xu Shen was stunned .
"These body bags are specially made to protect them from the erosion of the Xu Realm." Zhou Ye smiled at Xu Shen and said, "How about it? Does it sound like these bodies are being digested by the Xu Realm?"
Xu Shen felt a chill.
"Hehe..." Maeve laughed beside her.
Soon, everyone finished packing the bodies. At this time, Xu Shen saw that the young man who had followed the five people through the wall and left, actually turned back.
"No, nothing at all. Could these guys have lost their things?" The young man was a little angry. He walked past the corpses on the ground, passed through Zhou Ye's body, looked around, and finally stopped beside Xu Shen.
“…”
Xu Shen had a blank expression on his face. He picked up the body bag and asked Zhou Ye, "Captain, where are we going now?"
"You take these things away, I'll go pick up He Ming." Zhou Ye's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he turned and left.
"It shouldn't be in the hands of these guys. They just arrived..." At this time, the young man suddenly turned his head and his eyes fell on Xu Shen and others.
Xu Shen felt waves of murderous intent, and his skin couldn't help but feel a slight chill. He didn't know whether this young man was a human or a ghost.
"You'd better hide well..." Maeve said with a smile beside Xu Shen.
Xu Shen's heart was shocked.
Hide well?
This young man is searching for... Could it be the piece of black skin that Maeve threw to him? !
He thought of the things hidden in the interlayer of his combat uniform on his chest, and couldn't help but hug the body bag to his chest.
"Shall we go too?"
Xu Shen said to Su Shuang.
"Um."
Several people each picked up a few bags of beast corpses and left the cave together.
Xu Shen didn't dare to look back. He felt that the young man's eyes seemed to be following their backs. Moreover, he felt that once the other party had an idea, he might rush up and attack in an instant!
Because of this, he did not carry the body bag on his back like Su Shuang and the others, as that would have affected his ability to draw the sword.
Soon, everyone walked out of the cave safely.
The survivors here from the Jackal Gang have also been brought out, and after the ruins-destroying device is contacted, they will return to the real world together.
Zhou Ye was carrying a body bag with a long strip of material inside. It was obvious that it contained He Ming's body.
Xu Shen thought about this colleague who he had only known for a short time and had not even had a good conversation with. He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be separated from him forever.
"He Ming was involved in the Xu Beast incident. All his family members were killed by the Xu Beast. He was left alone, and now he is gone too..." Zhou Ye's face was gloomy.
After unlocking the ruins-breaking device, everyone returned to the streets of reality, and Zhou Ye took He Ming's body back to the car.
" Everyone, please observe a moment of silence..." Su Ya's voice came from the earphones, a little low.
Everyone was silent.
There were some minor accidents during this event, but overall it ended successfully.
The remaining members of the Jackal Gang were taken away by the Patrol Office outside the blockade and handed over to the Patrol Office for interrogation and detention.
the next day.
Xu Shen and others dressed neatly in combat uniforms and came to the Zhanxu Tomb Courtyard of the Xumi Bureau.
There are densely packed tombstones here, stretching endlessly, like gray flower trees planted on the hillside.
And now, there is one more piece here.
He Ming's name and photo are written on the tombstone, and his clothes are in front of the tombstone.
Zhou Ye stepped forward to toast, followed by Cao Fei, Su Shuang and Xu Shen.
"Have a nice journey..." Zhou Ye's face was heavy, and the middle-aged man's cheeks seemed to look a little more mature.
The traces left by time and events form wrinkles and pits.
"Will we be buried here in the future?" Su Shuang whispered to herself, not asking, but feeling confused.
"To some extent, He Ming is lucky. At least he has a body left behind." Zhou Ye heard Su Shuang's confused voice, put away his depressed mood, and comforted her: "Many of these are cenotaphs, and there are no body residues left."
"Xiao Xu, don't forget to come and visit every year." Zhou Ye turned and said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will."
"Most of us in Zhanxu have lost our relatives. Apart from our teammates, no one else comes to visit us. This world will eventually forget us..." Zhou Ye said softly.
For the first time, Xu Shen felt the sadness and heaviness of the Zhanxu personnel. It seemed that even the inspection office bowed and nodded when they saw them, but in fact they were just a group of pitiful people.
After saying goodbye to He Ming, the few of them returned from the Zhanxu Tomb Courtyard.
The mission settlement will be announced tomorrow, so Zhou Ye stayed in Building 17 and did not return to his house in the city.
Xu Shen returned to his room, seeming a little dazed. He accidentally bumped into the corner of the table while walking, and his palm immediately bleeds.
He rubbed his palms, sighed, and put on his combat uniform as usual to prepare for training, but his palms touched something in the interlayer of the combat uniform and immediately turned it out.
"Almost forgot this," he said to himself.
