Chapter 207 Secret
"You can say he was caught, or you can say he wasn't caught," Han Xu replied on the other end of the phone. "The situation is a bit complicated. You can come over and take a look."
Feng Ling found it strange because Han Xu was always straightforward in his words and was not the kind of person who would keep people in suspense.
She asked Han Xu to send her the location and found that the location was at least two kilometers away from the street she had originally tracked.
After running two kilometers in such a short time, Feng Ling felt that the alien species was really good at running.
She put away her phone and drove the truck towards Han Xu.
Ye Zheng asked her sternly in the carriage: "Did you catch the alien? Did it run away? You shouldn't have let it go just now! All the aliens deserve to die! Damn it! They must be eradicated! All of them deserve to die!!!"
Huangfu Miaomiao and Li Qing in the car remained silent.
Ye Zheng's emotions were still fluctuating. "…What if it runs away? What if it attacks the citizens to vent its anger? What if it has hostages? How should I deal with it? How should I deal with it!"
Feng Ling: “…………”
It didn't even have time to escape, so how could it have the time to attack the citizens to vent its anger? Even if it wanted to vent its anger, it should have planned revenge after escaping successfully.
But having said that, he is indeed worthy of being an inspector who has received rigorous training. Even after becoming a polluted body, his awareness is still so high.
"Do you need me to give you a sedative?" Feng Ling asked her.
"I am very calm now!" Ye Zheng's face was slightly distorted, and he stared at Feng Ling with red eyes, "You shouldn't have let the alien escape!"
Feng Ling was silent.
After a while, she looked at Ye Zheng and said, "Is there a possibility... that is, I didn't let it escape on purpose."
Ye Zheng was slightly stunned.
Feng Ling explained: "At that time, I was surrounded by those moving corpses, and the Gu Insect Master was quite far away from me, so it was difficult to use mental pressure. And you know, my speed was not fast enough, because I knew I would definitely not be able to outrun the opponent, so I marked them in advance, which can be regarded as a way to make up for it."
Ye Zheng said nothing, and looked at Feng Ling with suspicion.
Feng Ling said to Ye Zheng in a gentle voice, "Look, we just alarmed more than 40 alien species. The possibility of destroying them all at once is very low. Only one escaped. The operation was generally successful. We should focus more on our achievements instead of focusing on our mistakes."
Ye Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.
Feng Ling continued, "The behavior of the alien is uncontrollable. Letting it escape is indeed a huge hidden danger. It may kill people to vent its anger, or it may take hostages. But...if we hadn't discovered this den today, would the alien not kill people? Is it my fault that the alien killed people? Even if I have killed most of the remaining aliens, do I have to be responsible for the crime committed by the escaped alien? Do I, and you, really need to bear such heavy pressure?"
Ye Zheng slowly took a half step back and whispered, "That's not what I meant..."
Feng Ling exhaled and smiled at her: "I know, you are just emotional for a moment."
The truck stopped and the driver in front shouted to the car: "We've arrived!"
Feng Ling looked at Li Qing and Xu Yiming in the carriage and said, "You stay here. Little Skeleton and I will go down to see what's going on."
Then she looked at Ye Zheng again: "Protect the Taoist priest. The more the aliens want him dead, the more we must not let him die."
Ye Zheng replied coldly: "Don't worry."
Feng Ling waved to Huangfu Miaomiao, and the two jumped out of the car one after the other.
Half of the road ahead was lined with blue construction fences, and several patrol cars with flashing red lights were parked on the side of the road, making the already narrow road even narrower, making it impossible for trucks to drive in.
Feng Ling passed by the patrol car and saw a group of people not far away. The leader should be Han Xu.
Huangfu Miaomiao followed her and asked in a low voice as they walked: "So you let him run away accidentally, I thought you did it on purpose." Feng Ling glanced at the truck behind him and whispered: "If I don't say this, she will never stop."
"Ah?..." Huangfu Miaomiao was stunned and looked up at Feng Ling, "Then, then aren't you afraid? If the players really cause trouble like Ye Zheng said, humans will definitely scold you to death."
Feng Ling looked troubled. "Maybe my brain wasn't sharp enough. I was only thinking about finding the Eye of Horus at the time. I didn't think too much about it."
In fact, it has little to do with the brain, but rather an inability to adapt to the change in one's role.
In the past, Feng Ling was used to being alone and was used to being responsible for herself. Other people’s affairs had nothing to do with her, and she did not have to be responsible for other people’s lives and safety.
So she did whatever she wanted, never considering that she would be responsible for the subsequent butterfly effect.
She could clearly feel that she was getting stronger, but she only realized belatedly the responsibility on her shoulders.
Feng Ling couldn't help but think of an old saying: The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
The feeling of being restrained is always there.
She felt a little helpless, because it turned out that the responsibility was not something she took on voluntarily, but was instead placed on her without any explanation.
Because she has become stronger, any of her actions may have immeasurable consequences.
In the past, when she fought on the street, she just fought. Now, when she fights, one side must be bleed. That's the difference.
Feng Ling sighed slightly, looked at Huangfu Miaomiao beside him, and whispered: "Don't let Ye Zheng know about this."
Huangfu Miaomiao nodded vigorously, feeling inexplicably happy, "Yes! This is a secret between the two of us!"
Feng Ling laughed and reached out to rub her little head.
Huangfu Miaomiao smiled and said, "I can't tell, you are afraid of Ye Zheng."
"I'm afraid of her?" Feng Ling rolled her eyes. "I don't want to bother with someone with a pollution value of 48%. If she goes crazy, it will be difficult to suppress her."
Huangfu Miaomiao nodded in agreement. Ye Zheng was indeed scary when he went crazy.
"But what should we do..." Huangfu Miaomiao was worried about Feng Ling, "You always go against the people of the Xingxing Society. They will retaliate against you sooner or later. If they carry out a large-scale terrorist attack in the name of revenge against you, you will still be scolded."
Feng Ling frowned after hearing this, "Let's talk about the future later. Anyway, tonight, we must catch the escaped alien species no matter what."
As they were talking, they soon came to Han Xu.
Han Xu stood at the entrance of a subway station that was under construction and motioned Feng Ling to look down.
"I ordered the team to keep a safe distance and only conduct long-range attacks. The sniper hit it, and then it fled inside. The heavy rain in the past two days caused water to accumulate in the subway tunnel, and there were many insects in the water, so I had people guard the entrance and exit, intending to wait for the water to recede before going down."
After listening to this, Feng Ling asked, "When will the accumulated water recede?"
"One or two days." Han Xu looked at the subway entrance with some annoyance. "The subway station here is still under construction, and the drainage system is not perfect."
Feng Ling thought about it, then walked in, "I'll go in and try."
"Hey!" Han Xu hurriedly stopped her and said solemnly, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? That guy put a lot of worms in the water!"
There is only one chapter today, and the rest of the plot has not been written yet, hahaha!
