The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 981 Target Appears
Late at night, Shanqing District.

Rain fell from the sky, and a black business car with a license plate number ending in 36 slowly passed through the streets of Shanqing District.

Perhaps because of the rain, almost all the stores were closed, and there were no food stalls or pedestrians on the road. It looked particularly deserted, as if it was midnight.

Nana was driving the car, and Chen Ying was sitting in the passenger seat with her eyes closed [Perception].

In the back parking space, Gao Yang and Horse were sitting.

The four of them were considered the "advance force", and the others were also organized into groups and approached Qinghe Park in different ways.

Gao Yang looked at the streets outside through the hazy car window with raindrops. Sure enough, the closer he got to Qinghe Park, the quieter the streets became, and the air was full of conspiracy.

Since the horse was reborn from nirvana, he has completely changed as a person. Not only has his appearance changed from fat to normal, but his personality has also become mature and stable.

Along the way, he didn't speak much, silently checking the equipment he carried, and adjusting the cyber calf over and over again to ensure that it was in optimal condition.

"Are you still used to it?" Gao Yang asked proactively.

"Get used to it." The horse reported the work in a professional tone: "I broke through level 4 [jump] in less than two hours after getting the rune, and then directly upgraded to level 7. Don't worry, as long as you keep a distance, Qilin will never catch it. I."

"Yeah." Gao Yang looked at the man in front of him and sighed in his heart. For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Officer Huang in his eyebrows.

"Brother Yang, where are you?" The horse asked back.

"What's wrong with me?" Gao Yang didn't react.

"I heard that you had a good sleep." Chen Ying couldn't help but speak, and she explained guiltily: "It's not me who gossips, everyone is spreading the news."

"Slept well." Gao Yang smiled faintly.

"That's good." Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Yang hadn't rested for several days. Everyone was worried about his physical and mental state, fearing that he might collapse at any time.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Liao Liao rushed into the cafeteria excitedly and shared the latest gossip with everyone - Gao Yang finally fell asleep with the help of Qing Ling.

Everyone felt relieved and felt a lot more at ease. As the old saying goes, if you can eat and sleep, it won't be a big problem.

After this, the blazing spirit of gossip started. Many people ran to the roof and watched a live broadcast with binoculars.

Everyone was sitting on small stools, eating melon seeds and chatting animatedly.

"Is she Qing Ling?"

"No, I feel like Qing Ling."

"Tsk, tsk, Captain Gao's sleeping posture is hard to describe. I thought that someone who is usually handsome would also be handsome when sleeping."

"What do you need to be handsome when sleeping? Just sleep well."

"That's right, look how well he sleeps now, like a docile tabby cat."

"What kind of cat? It must be a tiger at least."

"There is a tiger in my heart, and I smell the rose carefully, and I feel the smell."

"Look! He turned over, turned over..."

"Haha, that's a good sign. It indicates that Jiu Si will make a complete comeback!"

"That's right! We will win tonight!"

"Fuck the dog Qilin to death!"

……

The horse in the car glanced out the window and knew that he was almost at his destination. He said solemnly: "Brother Yang, while there is still time, I want to say a few words to you. If you don't like to hear it, I won't say it."

"Say it, I want to hear it." Gao Yang responded seriously. "You came to comfort me that night, but I said those words to you. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Gao Yang said, "Everyone wants to be alone sometimes."

The horse lowered his head and looked at his legs with a bitter voice: "I was in pain at the time. I always thought that White Rabbit regretted saving me. She only saved me out of desperation. She scolded me until she died. If she knew the result, she would definitely leave me alone. People like me are not worth saving at all. I kept asking myself why I wasn’t the one who died that night..."

Gao Yang didn't speak.

"But, the moment the talent for jumping appeared in my mind, I suddenly figured it out." The horse looked up at Gao Yang, with tears in the corners of his eyes:

"Brother Yang, whether White Rabbit has been using me, hating me, or feeling guilty for me, or even having a slight affection for me, I will never know, and these are not important anymore."

"You said that deeds don't matter. What's important is that White Rabbit did save me that night, and she did give me the [jumping] talent. That's enough."

"Brother Yang." Junma said in a sincere voice, "You too, no matter what the result is, you have done everything you can. You have never been sorry to anyone. That's enough."

Gao Yang was silent for a long time and stretched out his hand: "Han Yingjun, thank you."

"Thank you too, Gao Yang." The horse stretched out his hand and held it firmly.

In the process, Junma also quietly handed a small object to Gao Yang, which was the "mousetrap" that Dr. Jia had driven out of him.

In Dr. Jia’s original words: The effect is not guaranteed and we are not responsible for anything that happens.

"Captain, we're here." Chen Ying opened her eyes.

The car has stopped at the north gate of Qinghe Park. As expected, there are construction roadblocks surrounding the gate. Several staff members are wearing raincoats and holding batons to prevent anyone from entering.

With just one glance, Gao Yang discovered that they were all controlled by the [Puppet Master].

"Captain." Chen Ying said with a heavy face: "The distance is a bit far. I can't be sure that Qilin is in Qinghe Park, but there are indeed many awakened ones there, ranging in strength and weakness."

"It's okay. Everything is going as planned. Just wait for my signal."

As soon as Gao Yang opened the door and got out of the car, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had forgotten some details.

He calmed down and failed to remember. He stopped worrying and walked into the rain.

……

Three minutes later, Gao Yang came to Qinghe Lake in the center of the park alone.

This time, the water in Qinghe Lake was "emptied out" again, turning into a huge silt pit three meters below the ground. It was also covered with withered lotus poles. At first glance, it looked like it was after a war. The scorched earth left countless broken arrows and spears.

There was a pavilion built on the mud pit, and several people were standing in the pavilion.

Meng Yang and Wang Weiyan, who were in a "calm" state, held hands and looked ahead in a daze, as if they were sleepwalking.

Suzaku was sitting in a wheelchair beside her. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were dull and hazy.

Standing next to Zhuque was Zhang Wei. He was wearing black gold shackles on his hands and feet. His face was sullen, and his eyes were looking around. He was expecting someone to save him, but he didn't want anyone to actually die.

In addition to these four people, Mr. Li was also sitting in a wheelchair and accompanying them with a calm expression.

As for tonight's protagonist, Qilin, he stood on the corridor outside the pavilion, leaning on a crutch with one hand and looking calm, as if he was really just admiring the lotus.

He was dressed very formally today, no longer wearing an elegant overcoat, but a slim-fitting dark suit, with an open coat, a crisp shirt underneath, a tie, and a unicorn brooch made of black gold in the breast pocket— -Sure enough, he has never really forgotten the Qilin Union, nor has he forgotten his "original intention."

I don't know when the cold rain stopped. His slightly damp chestnut hair was combed back, and he wore black-rimmed glasses. His right eye was gray and cold, and his left eye was deep and green. He exuded an ascetic coldness.

The corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and the target appeared.
