Alien Executioner
Page 117
The girl in front of him was wearing a high-end uniform under her windbreaker. It was light ink-colored with a little satin gray, but it was a little too big.
This uniform is obviously not An Xiao's, but more like her brother's, because although the uniform does not fit well, it is barely acceptable.
What a willful girl she is. But with such a background and status, it’s okay for her to show off in a high-end uniform, right?
The team leader pursed his lips slightly. He was a man in his 40s, married with children, and had long been considered an uncle in the eyes of others. He had been an executive for nearly years, but his thoughts and views on the system were not that old-fashioned.
He glanced behind the girl and his eyes swept over the alien man. Although they were dozens of meters apart, he was not worried at all that he would run away.
Executives like to describe themselves as venomous snakes, rather than as the great and bright image. It is difficult for the prey targeted by the venomous snake to escape.
In his eyes, An Xiaoze was a born venomous snake. Even though she was beautiful, lively, and lovable, she would behave quietly in certain situations.
An Xiao noticed that the so-called team leader in front of him was observing his appearance, and realized what he was thinking, so he smiled and said:
"It looks great, doesn't it? It's my sister's executive officer uniform. As a trainee executive officer, I don't have a high-level uniform, so it's not a uniform violation for me, right?"
It sounded like that, but something didn't seem right, so the team leader nodded symbolically.
"Your sister's?" He was a little confused. "Isn't it the director's?"
"If it was my brother's uniform, it might fit better." She shook her head, "But I can't wear his clothes, can I?"
"Yeah." The team leader nodded, "Let's not talk too much. It would be bad if the prey escapes."
"Can he run away?" An Xiao didn't seem worried at all.
“No one likes trouble.”
"My brother also said this. It seems that we have the same opinion." An Xiao's eyes swept over the others.
"So just chop off the enemy's legs before they run away. Seniors, leave this mission to me."
"No, even though he is only Grade B, he suddenly entered the red high-risk list. We, Nanjin, believe in Zero's judgment."
The team leader decisively shook his head and rejected the idea. He understood that even if the enemy was not that dangerous, it could not be handed over to a trainee executive to handle.
Although An Xiao is the daughter of the An family and possesses unknown strength and more advanced devouring weapons, she is ultimately just an assistant in the operation.
A single assistant completed the entire operation, while the actual executors were hiding from the rain and watching the battle. If this were to get out...
Suddenly, the team leader was stunned and only saw the girl's back in the rain.
"Boss, she's gone." The young executive was stunned.
"Why didn't you stop her!" the team leader roared at the others.
He was slightly startled, and except for the youngest executive, everyone else rushed into the rainstorm.
Chapter 195: Foolish Dream (V)
The man's name was Gong. He knew that his current condition was terrible. Just from the outside, he looked like a rotten rag hiding from the rain.
The heavy rain enveloped the world, making him extremely irritated. He opened his bloodshot eyes wide, as if trying to find something from the pouring rain.
I couldn't see anything, and there seemed to be something breathing in the hazy mist. Was it someone? Or was it an auditory hallucination?
Gong squatted and leaned against the drainpipe at the end of the alley. Next to it was a late-night snack shop that had already been opened. In such bad weather, no one would come out at night, and the taxi drivers also returned to their comfortable homes early.
He could only hide under the eaves and wait for his prey. No one wanted to get soaked, as that would be like restraining the body.
He was starving, and his sanity was almost torn to pieces by the sudden feeling of hunger.
Gong is a natural alien, born in Green Algae City. Just like other aliens, he was not born in a big hospital, but just an apartment building. It was not a smooth process, and no one wants to recall it.
When he grew up, he graduated from a less famous school. Since he had been learning how to hunt and avoid enforcement officers since he was a child, his childhood was quite bleak. Naturally, he had no intention of studying. In order to fit into this society, he had to change his appearance.
Gong finally became a graphic designer, which is not a good job. Because of the low income, he could only live in an old apartment building. In order to survive in this safest city, he had to spend most of his savings on food, and the remaining money was barely enough to pay the rent.
But some inexplicable things have happened recently, which made him a little worried.
If the aliens want to survive in this city without being noticed by the executive officers, the most basic requirement is that they must not hunt and disguise themselves as normal humans. Therefore, how to solve the food problem is an important issue.
Gong came to this city three years ago. At that time, he was not familiar with the place and did not know the way around. Because he was extremely hungry, he almost went hunting one night.
Fortunately, he was discovered by another kind-hearted alien, who was the food middleman of this street. He was responsible for finding food channels and distribution for the aliens in this area, and naturally became the spokesperson.
Gong prefers to call him the "chief", because no alien species in this area dares to listen to him.
The leader was just a B-level alien, just like himself. This level was only slightly better than the lowest C-level and was not worth the executive's attention.
But even so, the leader still opened up a food trade channel with District 9, but this channel was actually not clean.
Since the Ninth District is the most chaotic, many people die there every day. Therefore, some alien species take risks and come there to look for corpses. They divide them into many parts and then send them to all parts of the world. After passing through layers of middlemen, they are finally sold to alien species in need.
Although FACA was jointly established by the entire federation, with branches in various federal districts and bureaus in various cities, and enjoying the rights of each federal district, its headquarters is ultimately located in the Third District, and all senior executives are also locals of the Third District. Therefore, they turn a blind eye to this unclean channel leading to the Ninth District.
The Third District and the Ninth District of the Federation have a deep hatred in history.
Gong had lived in Huacheng for three years and had passed those three years peacefully, but everything changed a month ago.
A month ago, the middleman disappeared and no one has ever seen him since. After losing the food middleman, hundreds of alien species fell into chaos.
Other middlemen are unwilling to accept these people, even if there is money to be made. Providing food to more alien species means that this channel will be riskier.
There is more than one person in charge of an entire channel. Each middleman is like a transit station. There may even be dozens of people jointly maintaining a channel. The sudden increase in a large number of people will create uncertainty.
No one wanted to take the risk and they all refused the food offered.
Some time ago, Gong was somewhat desperate. He wanted to leave the city and go hunting elsewhere, but after spending more than three years in peace in Huacheng, he had forgotten how to hunt.
The alien species is like a beast, but as a beast, he has lost the ferocity in his blood. He is afraid of taking the risk of being attacked by the executive officer. This city is safe, and no one is willing to leave a safe city.
What's more, in other cities, there are more high-level alien species than in Huacheng, and their forces are complicated.
It is for this reason that the executive officers of other cities are more aggressive in their crackdowns and don’t care whether you hunt or not.
Just as they were discussing whether to try to find a channel, a stranger appeared in everyone's sight.
"I heard that you are worried about not being able to eat human flesh?" The young ruffian said this nonchalantly.
No one paid any attention to this ruffian at the time. He was dressed like a gangster and seemed to be there to make fun of people.
Until this gangster took out a tube of blue potion, revealed his identity as a member of the Violence Gang, and told the effect of the potion.
"Something like this can relieve your hunger for a month, and you won't have to worry about food anymore," said the gangster.
No one should have believed what he said, because if such a thing really existed, then alien species and humans would have lived in peace and harmony long ago. Would there be a need to hunt for human flesh? This is really nonsense.
This was what Gong was thinking at the time, but everyone was almost reaching their limit of endurance of hunger. Even if they didn't believe it, they would force themselves to imagine that such a good thing could really happen.
No one cares about the gangster's violent identity. As the largest alien force in the third district and the first vanguard of the Alphabet Organization, he should not appear in Huacheng.
In the end, Gong still drank the potion. To be exact, he bought it for four thousand yuan, which was equivalent to half of his income this month.
"Can I know what this is?" Before drinking it, only Gong asked this question.
Things with price tags made everything seem more real, and it was also because of the price that they decided to take a gamble.
The ruffian counted the money skillfully, his eyes just glancing at his face.
"Serum No. 4 can protect you for a month, but after a month..."
What will happen in a month?
The ruffian left without saying a word. Although Gong was full of curiosity about this, he soon lost interest in it.
The potion worked and I wouldn't be hungry for at least the next month.
But this is also the beginning of strange things.
Chapter 196: Foolish Dream (VI)
It was a dream-like experience.
……
The train started.
"Sir, do you need a box lunch or mineral water?"
"I……"
Gong was sitting in the front row of the carriage. The conductor stood beside him and asked with a shy smile. The noisy roar of the train made him extremely irritated. He felt a little thirsty, so he wanted to buy a bottle of water, but before that he subconsciously checked his account balance.
“How much is the mineral water?”
"Mineral water is 3 yuan." The conductor replied politely.
"Then..."
Suddenly, a naughty child from an unknown family crossed the aisle of the carriage, making a noisy sound, interrupting Gong's words.
He originally wanted to buy a bottle of mineral water and a bucket of instant noodles to satisfy his craving, but the child who jumped out was so uneducated that he lost interest.
"No, thank you." Gong covered his face with his hands and rejected the train attendant's greetings exhaustedly.
After the conductor left, he looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly, and the trees were swaying in the breeze, but Gong was not in a good mood.
I don't know when it started, but Gong found that his emotions had become abnormal, and he began to have uncontrollable emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. His mental state was once very bad, and sometimes he even talked to himself, and he had inexplicable hallucinations repeatedly.
Two weeks after drinking the serum potion named No. 4, Gong received a WeChat message from the landlord.
[Xiao Gong, I'm sorry to bother you while you're working. My cousin's son has been admitted to Atlanta College, and her family will move to Huacheng in two weeks, so we need you to vacate the house you're currently renting...] Shan
[I'm really sorry. We have had a very pleasant cooperation for three years. I admire you very much. Our rental contract will not be terminated because of this. I support your work very much. Therefore, you can sublease another property of mine, but the location is a bit remote. But don't worry, I am happy to compensate you with the lowest rent. ]弍
The landlord sent these two WeChat messages in the morning, along with the location and pictures of the house.
Gong studied it for a long time before he was sure that he had made no loss, and even made a profit. The rent was reduced from 3200 yuan per month in the contract to 1500 yuan. Although the house was remote, it was not in the suburbs, and it was also carefully decorated. It was really hard to resist.
As a graphic designer, Gong hardly needs to go out except for taking orders online. He only needs to go out a few times a month to visit old customers, so location is not his primary consideration.
To this end, Gong took a train directly to the designated place to look at houses. He pretended to be dissatisfied and bargained beforehand. With a reluctant attitude, he made the landlord pay for half a year's broadband fee and three months' water and electricity fees for him, and successfully obtained the right to live in the house. (
Gong is actually a very careful budgeter. After all, the expenses will be getting bigger and bigger in the future. In the past, he bought food once every two weeks, and each time he would spend one thousand to two thousand yuan, which would cost him almost half a month's income.
Serum No. 4 is indeed a good thing. Although the side effects are unknown, it does eliminate hunger.)
He had a feeling that good things like this would only become more and more expensive in the future, so he had to save more money.
The train stopped and he arrived at his destination. Huacheng was a very large place, comparable to several cities, so he took a taxi to look for a new house.
The residential area where the new house is located is really hard to find. Even the driver had to drive around for a long time before finally parking the car a hundred meters away from the shore of Anting Lake. This is the only residential area in the surrounding area. After crossing the bridge over the lake, it is no different from the suburbs.
Gong felt lost, but not discouraged. After getting off the car, he walked into the entrance of the community and felt a chill.
The community was completely deserted. Even in the security room, no one was seen and the tables were covered with dust.
He blew and the dust was blown away.
"Cough, cough, what the hell is this?" Gong was choked. He took a deep breath and looked inside the community. It was eerily quiet.
Is this a ghost town left behind after a failed real estate development?
This thought flashed through Gong's mind, and he felt that he had been cheated by the landlord. But after all, they had been friends for three years, and the landlord would not cheat him. Her nephew was admitted to Atlanta College and would not move in until half a month later. It was still a conscience to remind himself of this now.
Since he was already here, he decided to come in and take a look. He walked along the path in the community, feeling a surge of emotion.
There are four buildings in the community, but they are brand new, as if they were just developed recently, and all of them have been renovated.
This means that this is not a ghost town. You can even hear dogs barking. Some families have dogs and there are still people living here.
When passing by the orchard, Gong saw a few jumping little white rabbits and thought they were probably some children who had let them roam free there.
It’s so strange, why are this rabbit’s eyes completely gray?
Is it an illusion?
He suddenly felt a little palpitation, and for a moment, the building in front of him seemed to be drifting like water ripples.
Am I too tired...
……
The next night, Gong had already moved into the new house. The new house was very beautiful and exquisitely decorated, which was completely incomparable to the old apartment.
But you have to cross the lake, which is too far from the center of Huacheng City.
He understood why the landlord left such a good house for him. Although the old apartment he lived in before was decades old and the decoration was not good, it was on Exhibition Street and very close to Atlanta College, which was very suitable for her cousin.
At night, he began to clean up the house and put his own things in place, but that was only part of it. The family had to move to the old apartment in two weeks, so before that, he would still be a tenant of the old apartment.
The landlord's decoration is simple and not gorgeous, but it can be considered fashionable. However, I am not used to the three-bedroom, one-living room apartment of over 100 square meters. It was difficult to get used to it when I first moved in. It is too spacious for one person.
Gong had an uneasy feeling for some reason. He did not feel comfortable and warm sitting on the sofa, but rather a chill.
"Did you not close the window?!"
