End of Mystery

The locomotive carried the two of them through the tall and deep space of the city, drove down from the intertwined and scattered overpasses, and entered the Nancheng District full of industrial layouts.

Huge steam pipes can be seen, extending in parallel, bypassing low buildings with sparse lights, like a thread ball in chaos but orderly.

From time to time, turbulent steam gushes out from both sides of the road like the breath of a whale.

At the beginning, Xiao Xiao could only smell red-hot rust and dull steam, mixed with unknown chemicals, filling the air with a dangerous atmosphere.

The entire old district of Nancheng gives people the impression of depression and dilapidation. There are abandoned factories everywhere due to bankruptcy. There are not a single street lamp on the street, which makes the whole city look much darker than other places.

On the tall brick walls, there are exaggerated and colorful graffiti, but under the graffiti, there are people wandering around with nothing to do.

Some of them have cigarettes in their mouths, some hold a bottle of wine, or they are in small groups, or squatting alone on a dark street corner. Every time a new face appears, countless empty eyes stare at it.

This is the most dangerous neighborhood in the city, and it is also the breeding ground for countless thugs, prostitutes, and criminal geniuses.

In Xiao Xiao's memory, this place was already very famous four years ago, and the order was broken. Even the security department did not dare to come to this place to arrest people, unless it sent a large number of troops to come.

He couldn't help but look back.

Here, eye contact with any one person may create unnecessary conflicts.

On the contrary, she was soft. In such an environment, she acted very relaxed. She even stopped beside a railing that allowed her to support the ground.

He took out a small electronic instrument and observed it for a while, before a few unfamiliar faces around tentatively approached, he stepped on the gas and left here.

Immediately behind them there was a chorus of cursing, and the chaotic sound of wine bottles being slammed onto the ground behind them.

Ten minutes later, the soft locomotive drove to a place that was considered desolate compared to the desolate old city, which seemed to be the edge of the city.

There are only large stretches of abandoned factory buildings here, and the black holes look like corpses crawling on the ground. Occasionally, a dim light is lit outside a door, and the lonely person seems to be shivering in the thick night.

"Anomalous radiation was discovered around here..."

Ruanrou stretched out his feet to support the railing next to him, raised his left wrist, and swiped and pulled on the display screen above.

Xiao Xiao kept the couple quiet and did not disturb her.

Click in from your own mailbox, and you can also see a map with a special mark, which should be a reminder from the task issuer.

This also made Xiao Xiao feel a little strange: he already understood that the emissaries of these "foreigners" himself were to clean up the deformed creatures for the city.

However, at first he thought that the city would directly issue the "task" to him, but later he found that it was not quite like it.

At least if this city releases a mission, it will never give itself another chance to pick and choose and find suitable events...

According to what Ruan Ruan said, even the task level is just summed up by all the foreigners.

So, who issued the task?

The sender of the email, the person named "Ye"?

Who is he? The leader of the alien organization?

Just as they were thinking, on the side of the street not far away, two people who looked like two drunks stood up and tentatively walked to them not far away, without saying a word, just wandering around there with eyes flashing.

After observing for a while, he walked over dawdly, glanced over Xiao Xiao and Ruan Ruan, and asked, "What do you guys do?"

Ruan Ruan looked up at them, and said with a smile: "I want to ask you something, in this area, have you heard that there have been some strange things?"

"Someone missing, or something?"

"..."

The two people saw the soft smiling face, their eyes lit up, and there was an unnatural smile on their faces. They got closer and closer, and stretched their hands to the lower back: "Is it just the two of you?"

"Little sister, your two headlights are quite beautiful..."

"..."

Ruan Ruan frowned, and subconsciously reached into the bag in front of the motorcycle, but hesitated for a moment, thought of something, withdrew his hand again, elbowed Xiao Xiao who was sitting obediently.

"oh?"

Xiao Xiao was startled for a moment before he understood.

The eldest sister said that when she came this time, she didn't care about anything and took care of everything by herself.

So, start now?

So he raised his head and glanced at the two people, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, then he suddenly pulled out his gun and shot the person in front of him in the leg.

"Boom!"

The sudden gunshot made Ruan Ruan in front of him tremble in fright, and turned his head around suddenly.

I saw Xiao Xiao holding the gun in his hand steadily. He didn't even look at the person lying on the ground with his thighs in his arms. Instead, the muzzle of the gun moved steadily and pointed at another person's face.

The voice seemed very polite: "Inquire about something, have you heard of any strange things happening in this area?"

"Someone missing, or something?"

"..."

"Ahh..."

It wasn't until he asked all these words that the two people in front of him realized it. One hugged his thigh and let out a scream like a pig being killed.

The other one faced the black muzzle of the gun, his face turned pale instantly, and his pants gradually became wet.

Xiao Xiao's face was calm, he waved his fingers up and down, and said, "I haven't answered our question yet..."

"No... I don't know..."

The uninjured man's legs were trembling, and he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with a mournful face and handed it over: "This...people often go missing here, I...my wife ran away with someone..."

"oh."

Xiao Xiao got used to being on the pier, so he took a cigarette out of the pack and put it on his ear. He gave him a sympathetic look, and said patiently, "Is there anything else?"

"I...I really don't know..."

"Think again..."

The people who were pointed at by the gun were about to cry, and suddenly thought of something, and carefully pointed to an abandoned factory area: "Oh, yes, then...there..."

"It is said that people often go missing. Others... say that there is a warehouse that eats... people..."

"..."

"A warehouse that eats people?"

Xiao Xiao was surprised, turned his head to look at Ruan Ruan, and saw her nodded slightly.

So Xiao Xiao also turned his head to look at this person, and said softly: "Thank you, it's okay, go home early, drink less, and my wife may come back again."

"By the way, take the one on the ground away too. He's seriously injured. Find a better clinic."

"..."

"Yes Yes……"

With a mournful face, the man pulled up the man who had been shot in the thigh from the ground, and ran away staggeringly.

Xiao Xiao watched them walk away, then put away his gun, and cast a questioning look at Ruan Ruan, as if he wanted to know how he was doing.

Ruan Ruan looked at his calm and handsome face, remained silent for a long time, and said, "Just asking for directions, and you shot?"

"They have bad intentions..."

Xiao Xiao explained honestly: "When they came over just now, they were already about to draw their swords... I didn't see clearly, maybe they were holding guns."

"Because maybe, you shoot?"

Ruan Ruan's eyes became more and more surprised: "You don't hesitate?"

"Because it's better for us all."

Xiao Xiao said: "I'm just a newcomer, and I don't have much combat experience. They have already come to the front. If I suddenly draw my sword and charge up, my marksmanship is so bad, I may kill them..."

"It might even be hurt by them unexpectedly."

"It's better to shoot first, so as to avoid killing the two of them, we don't delay asking them for some information..."

"..."

Ruan Ruan looked surprised: "So you are still kind?"

"of course……"

Xiao Xiao's face was calm, didn't he make the most correct choice?

Besides, this is a foreign land full of monsters, so what if he really kills them?

"Well then, you really...have unlimited potential..."

Ruan Ruan was convinced, sighed helplessly, and turned to look at the abandoned factory building, where the "people-eating warehouse" that the two people mentioned just now was located.

Her expression quickly became a little serious: "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, jumped out of the car, looked in the direction of the warehouse from a distance, then held the gun tightly in his hand, and strode forward.

Ruan Ruan also followed, watching him move forward, his curiosity became even stronger: "Do you just go in like this?"

"Otherwise what else?"

Xiao Xiao stood still, looked at her in surprise, and said, "I'm just a newcomer with no experience..."

"You didn't even arrange a military training for me..."

"..."

"Okay, okay, I'm only in charge of observing you this time, you can do whatever you want..."

Ruan Ruan didn't know how to answer, so she waved her hand and stood firmly two or three meters away from Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao also thought about it, and found that he really knew nothing else, so he walked straight forward.

Taking a deep breath, I was also thinking in my heart: "I really need to cheer up this time. If I don't do well, the points..."

"...No, the points are not important, the important thing is that it will be very embarrassing."
