It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 410: Feng Shao's Death

"Brother Han, what do you mean by that?" Duan Fei stared at Han Xu in astonishment. "What do you mean by... abandoned? Millions of people live here. Doesn't the General Supervision Bureau care?!"

Han Xu didn't look at him, but gently lifted the white cloth and covered the deceased again.

"It's not that we don't care. It's that the city's geographical location is too special. Not only is it very close to the quarantine zone, but the port is directly connected to the Molan River. On the other side of the Molan River is the Mogu Kingdom. Guangshan City is like a bridge for alien species to reach the Mogu Kingdom. Sending more people will only hinder the smooth flow of this bridge."

Han Xu said this and glanced at Duan Fei. Seeing that he looked shocked, he couldn't help but sigh and raised his hand to pat Duan Fei gently on the shoulder.

"Many of the cities near Mogu Country don't even have supervisory sub-bureaus. There is a shortage of people everywhere... Everywhere is facing a shortage of manpower. Therefore, I will be responsible for this accident, not only for you, but also for Guangshan City." Han Xu paused, and then said, "In a few weeks, I will be transferred away from here."

Duan Fei panicked, "Brother Han, where are you going to be transferred to?"

Han Xu smiled at him and said, "It's confidential, don't ask."

Duan Fei felt unhappy. "There are more than 30 inspectors who graduated with me. Why are they still short of people? They are always short of people. You must have been transferred to fill vacancies in other branches."

After hearing this, Han Xu's faint smile disappeared and he became a little cold.

"Think about the first batch of inspectors. How many are left now? The most famous one, Ye Zheng, died in the maze. My former captain died at the hands of aliens. Did Bai Shuang from Jingnan City die tragically? Only one of the twins sent over some time ago survived, and even though she survived, she's almost crazy... How long does it take to train an inspector? How long does it take to kill an inspector? So tell me, why is there always a shortage of people?"

Duan Fei listened to Han Xu's words with his head hung dejectedly, feeling indescribably weak all over.

"Don't always act like a child." Han Xu retracted his gaze, took out his phone and slowly flipped through the address book. "You have great potential. You shouldn't waste time in a place like the observation room. Go back and have a good sleep. Adjust your state as soon as possible. I'll take care of the rest."

He dialed the number of a leader of the General Administration, ignored Duan Fei behind him, and strode out of the morgue.

……

Han Xu made this call in order to take the responsibility for the accidental death on himself, and he was mentally prepared to accept punishment.

He also considered that he would face curses and resentment from the deceased's family.

In the end, it's just a loss of money or life.

He can afford the money, but as for his life... he probably won't have the chance to pay for it, because the Inspector holds the card and the General Inspectorate will not allow him to pay with his life for it.

So how do we atone for our sins?
Go to jail, it just so happens that Scarecrow's job is like a life sentence.

Han Xu suddenly felt that it was destined that he would spend the rest of his life in this way.

But Han Xu didn't expect that he had no chance to atone for his sins.

The superiors quickly gave instructions, requiring the Guangshan Branch to announce to the public that the dead scavenger was killed by the alien species, and that the inspector had performed his duties conscientiously and there was no problem of accidental injury.

"Han Xu, this is a critical period. Public opinion cannot withstand any disturbance. We cannot let the public's confidence in the entire supervisory agency be affected by the death of one person! Do you understand what is more important?..."

A long speech mixed with reproaches poured into Han Xu's ears.

He stood in the quiet and deserted corridor, holding his cell phone in one hand, his posture frozen like a sculpture.

Suddenly a loud thunder sounded!
Han Xu suddenly came back to his senses.

"Han Xu, are you listening? The entire monitoring system is under great pressure right now. Many monitors have developed various psychological problems even if the pollution value has not reached 22%. If any negative public opinion appears in society at this time, everyone's work situation will become more difficult! Besides, the dead cannot be resurrected. The families of the deceased need white lies more than the truth. Do you want everyone to know that the scavenger died at the hands of our own people?..."

"I understand." Han Xu replied numbly, "I will do a good job of cleaning up the mess."

…………

……

In the evening, the sky seemed to have not changed at all, still covered by dark rain clouds.

Ling Feiran got out of the car in front of the Supervisory Building.

She had been to this place twice.

One time, I accompanied Feng Shao to an interview.

The other time is now, when I received the news of Feng Shao’s death.

She came in such a hurry that she didn't dress up. She wore a floral shirt stained with kitchen oil and a dark long skirt. Her hair was uncombed and tied up loosely, with messy hair. Her pale face was bloodless.

She followed the escort all the way to the morgue and stopped in front of the morgue door.

Feng Shao was inside, but she hesitated, wondering whether she should go back and dress up and see Feng Shao for the last time.

Ling Feiran touched her face with her cold fingers and thought: At least putting on a little lipstick would be nice.

She might have been a little confused, and actually asked the people around her: "Do you have lipstick?"

Accompanying her were two special forces members and a member of the cleaning team.

Faced with Ling Feiran's request, everyone was stunned at first, and then asked each other if they had lipstick.

A female team member named Yang Ping said: "I'll go to the medical area to ask."

Yang Ping hurried away and hurried back, borrowing half a tube of lip balm from the nurse.

The lip balm has a hint of pink, and when applied on the lips, Ling Feiran's complexion looks much better.

"Thank you." Ling Feiran thanked Yang Ping, looking very calm.

She finally stepped into the morgue.

Feng Shao just lay there.

Duan Fei was there too, standing stiffly to the side with his head lowered, reciting word for word what Han Xu had taught him: "...an accident occurred during the operation. When the cleaning team arrived at the scene, we discovered that the alien that was killed was actually faking his death. Although we launched a manhunt again, the alien killed Feng Shao while escaping...We are very sorry for this accident..."

He could hardly continue.

Although this description was very close to the truth and there was no need for Captain Han to take the blame for him, he knew better than anyone that Feng Shao died at his hands.

"I'm sorry..." Duan Fei lowered his head even lower, his vision blurred, "I'm really sorry..."

Ling Feiran stared at Feng Shao and asked, "Is that alien dead?"

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment and looked up at her.

"The alien that killed Feng Shao..." Ling Feiran looked at Duan Fei and smiled, "It should be dead, right?"

Duan Fei nodded slowly, "Yes... I killed him."

"Then there's no need to apologize. You've already avenged him." Ling Feiran's gaze returned to Feng Shao, wanting to engrave this last moment of him deeply into her heart: his tightly closed eyes, purple lips, slightly stubbled jaw, and a chest that didn't rise or fall at all...

Has the heart stopped beating?
When I went out in the morning, I was full of energy and enthusiasm, but how come I am now motionless?
Ling Feiran lifted the white cloth a little and saw Feng Shao's torn chest.

The map is a picture I found online, and then I started to show my talent, painting it with all kinds of fancy colors. Hmm, it looks pretty good~
