Chapter 114 The real goal
Facing Chu Hongxiu's murderous gaze, Liu Zhenhai gave a bitter smile. He asked her to follow Xiao Chen and observe. She was not happy in every way, but she went anyway. The final observation results were different from what he thought.
This seems to be a pair of orphan brothers and sisters who keep each other warm.
Yes, Orphan, he has just retrieved Xiao Chen's information through the law enforcer system.
It shows the identities of Xiao Chen and Mu Xiaowan. They are both orphans. Although the files were only entered into the resident system three years ago, this is considered normal.
How many people in the slums were not recorded in the records? He estimated that Xiao Chen only had official records after entering high school three years ago.
"You are so suspicious of someone who saved your life."
After Chu Hongxiu finished speaking, Liu Zhenhai raised his hands to express surrender, quietly pulled her aside and stuffed her with a bank card.
"My salary last month is all in it. I have about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan left. Help me give it to that child."
Liu Zhenhai said with a slight guilt, Chu Hongxiu was stunned for a moment.
Although Liu Zhenhai has the highest position and receives an awakened person's allowance every month, as an awakened person, he consumes more funds than ordinary people. Just the supplements and raw stones are a huge amount.
What's more, if you are injured and need to be treated, the costs are astronomical.
She blamed Liu Zhenhai, but in fact she knew that most of the money Liu Zhenhai earned every month went to help the poor folks in his hometown.
"What's the big deal? I'll call on the team to help."
"Don't."
Liu Zhenhai quickly stopped her. Looking at the busy team members, he couldn't help but light up another cigarette.
"It's not easy for brothers to go through life and death. How much money do they earn? They all have families and businesses, unlike my brother. If you are willing, you can give some more to those two children."
After Liu Zhenhai finished speaking, without waiting for Chu Hongxiu to speak, he waved his hands and went to work with the team members. Chu Hongxiu looked at his back, which was slightly staggering due to injuries, and shook the bank card in his hand.
…
All the infected people in Area C died, and the news spread like wildfire within two days.
However, in order to investigate the danger, it still took ten days to unblock Area C.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had the life crystal in his hand, and the life crystal had been tested and Mu Xiaowan could suck it in multiple times. Otherwise, ten days would be enough to suck him dry.
Except for the life crystal of No. 2, all other crystals including those of infected person No. 1 have been absorbed by the two of them.
Xiao Chen now wants to take the test to see how much his force level is. Because these ten days have passed, he feels that his strength, speed, and mental state are all stronger than before.
According to statistics, a total of 12 ordinary residents were eaten, and 6 residents were infected and became zombies.
Such infected ordinary people also need to be burned and executed. Xiao Chen also went to the scene. Not to watch the fun, but to pick up life crystals.
But what surprised him was that among the six burned corpses, only one, a very thick-looking man, produced a crystal the size of a fingernail.
There were no corpses of the other five people at all.
"Perhaps this has something to do with my growth in the Force."
The stronger his own Force power, the harder it is for ordinary corpses to produce crystals. It's like playing a game. After the character level is high, he loses experience in fighting mobs.
After returning home, Xiao Chen also received a call from his head teacher, Lao Song.
"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"
"Oh, it's okay! It scared me to death."
"There will be a test in two days. You have to rush back. Even if you can't awaken and graduate with a higher Force value, it will be easier to find a job."
Old Song was a chattering man, but he had always been kind to Xiao Chen. When he first entered school, he was short of living expenses, so Old Song quietly advanced him without telling him.
Later, Xiao Chen learned about this expense from others, but Lao Song did not admit it at all.
"It's time to test."
Looking at Mu Xiaowan who was tidying up her housework, Xiao Chen suddenly frowned and became serious.
These days, not only himself, Mu Xiaowan's strength and speed have also improved tremendously. Referring to Mu Xiaowan, Xiao Chen also feels that his force level is definitely not what it used to be.
But there's a problem.
During the last test, my Force value was only over 70 points. If it suddenly skyrocketed this time, would that arouse suspicion?
Xiao Chen couldn't help but be paranoid. He had an infected sister at home, and the official attitude towards infected people was to kill them all. He was already used to thinking about possible crises in advance.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Brother Xiao Chen, are you at home? I am Chu Hongxiu."
Chu Hongxiu didn't come by herself, but also brought a woman in professional attire.
She looked like she was about thirty years old with more formal makeup, and her eyes lit up after seeing Xiao Chen.
"This is?"
"This is reporter Zhao from Jiangcheng Times. After hearing that you were involved in this operation, I would like to interview you and do a special report. Is that okay?"
Chu Hongxiu also has her own plans.
For poor families like the Xiao Chen brothers and sisters, money is one thing, and opportunity is another. Even if you are not an awakened person, after graduation, having such a courageous resume will be a highlight when companies recruit.
Xiao Chen wanted to refuse because it did not conform to his principle of keeping a low profile.
However, it suddenly occurred to him that this seemed to be an opportunity for him to explain the sudden increase in his force value. After thinking about the explanation in his mind, he happily agreed.
After taking a photo of Xiao Chen and Chu Hongxiu with the "Being Brave in Righteousness" banner, Chu Hongxiu put down a card and a small bag of rough stones and left.
The rest of the time was left to Xiao Chen and reporter Zhao.
Looking at Xiao Chen's house, the shabby furniture and decorations, Zhao Meng's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Orphans, school students, slum dwellers, and rescue law enforcement teams, the combination of these elements is enough for her to write an eye-catching piece of news.
In the following interview, what surprised Zhao Meng the most was Xiao Chen’s “advantage”.
Regarding the harsh environment in the slums and the official's ignorance, they basically kept silent and did not complain at all. However, they praised the official's speedy handling and the responsible law enforcement team.
Without Zhao Meng's reminder or deliberate guidance, Xiao Chen completely avoided those contents that might not be shown.
Isn't this the best way?
Who could be a more suitable person to interview? There is no need to change the manuscript!
"Finally, can you allow me to tell the law enforcement team something from my heart?"
Normally, Zhao Meng would have asked him to speak, but would not have recorded it, but Xiao Chen's previous speech was already too satisfying to her.
"I'm very grateful to the law enforcement team for their quick removal operation, and also to the rough stones they gave me. I blocked them for ten days. I didn't waste them. I used them to practice every day. You know, I really didn't have the money to buy them before. During these ten days, I gained a lot. I even have a feeling that I can become an awakened person in the graduation test!"
