Chapter 297: Boredom
Feng Ling originally just said it casually, but she didn't expect Ye Zheng to react.
At this time, Xu Yiming and Cao Hongyi spotted the barbecue stove in the distance and shouted, "Feng Ling! Shall we have barbecue for lunch?"
Feng Ling turned around and said, "I didn't buy any ingredients, so let's find a restaurant. I'll treat you!"
Cao Hongyi seemed to be more interested in outdoor barbecue. He smiled and said, "If there is no food, we can go buy it. It is more enjoyable to grill meat by ourselves than to eat in a restaurant."
Xu Yiming also agreed: "There is such a big lake here, we can catch some fish and grill them."
Feng Ling wanted to ask: Are your fishing skills any good?
But seeing how excited they were, she didn't want to spoil their fun. "If I had known you wanted to eat barbecue, I would have bought the largest barbecue grill."
"This is enough!" Cao Hongyi was ready to go. He asked Feng Ling for the keys to the pickup truck and went to buy ingredients with Xu Yiming.
After the two drove away, Feng Ling looked at Ye Zheng and asked curiously: "Do you know Bai Lu?"
"I consider them my students." Ye Zheng said calmly, "I was among the first batch of inspectors to receive training. When the Supervisory Bureau was first established, it was short of not only inspectors but also instructors who could train inspectors. So for a while I was transferred to the training camp to participate in the training work. Bai Lu and Bai Shuang both took my tactics courses."
Feng Ling seemed to smell a subtle hint of arrogance in Ye Zheng's words.
Ye Zheng talked freely: "Bai Lu and Bai Shuang are excellent. Not only are they quick to react, but they also have excellent tacit understanding. I designed a set of playing methods based on their situations, which can allow them to cooperate with each other and bring out the maximum capabilities of the cards."
"What if we fight alone?" Feng Ling asked.
"If we fight alone..." Ye Zheng frowned slightly, "The effect will definitely be worse. Their card abilities are to release extremely strong cold air, using water molecules in the air to create frost. The doubled frost can freeze and necrotize the enemy's nerve tissue in a short period of time. If we fight alone, the effect of the frost will definitely be discounted."
Feng Ling thought about it, "What if one of them dies and the other one digests the other's card, can we still unleash the power of two people?"
Ye Zheng shook his head, "Not necessarily. Cards are not simple math problems. You have digested cards before, so you should know that cards will be lost during digestion, just like when we eat, the nutrients in the food will not be absorbed 100%, and some will always be lost."
"That's true." Feng Ling nodded thoughtfully.
A card, as the main card of the deck and as a secondary card that is digested, will have different effects.
Ye Zheng added: "And these two cards are both high-level cards. For the Supervisory Bureau, training two high-level card warriors is more cost-effective than training one warrior with two high-level cards."
She paused and looked at Feng Ling again, "Why do you ask? Did something happen to one of them?"
"Yes, Bai Shuang is dead." Feng Ling did not hide it and replied directly, "It is said that he died in action a month ago, but I don't have much impression. Maybe not every inspector's death will be reported in the news."
Ye Zheng fell silent.
After a while, she whispered, "Most sacrifices are silent. When facing the public, bad news must be less than good news. For example, my funeral may be able to inspire people in a short period of time and turn grief and anger into strength, but if news of death comes every day, our deaths will only have the effect of spreading panic..."
"No wonder. I was wondering why every time I do something, it always becomes a hot topic. Is it because you died that the public opinion is trying to find a balance with me?" Feng Ling felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Ye Zheng stared at her gloomily, "I'm not dead yet."
Feng Ling chuckled, "Why bother with words? You know what I mean~"
Ye Zheng also smiled gently. She envied Feng Ling's relaxation. It seemed that all the heaviness in the world became as light as dust in front of Feng Ling.
Ye Zheng turned his head and looked at the calm lake, sighing: "Feng Ling, you need to live longer. The people need to build confidence. If you die, it will be more difficult to rebuild confidence next time."
Feng Ling bent down, picked up a stone and threw it into the lake.
The stone floated rhythmically on the water four or five times, creating ripples.
"You think too much. I can't care about the people's confidence. I only care about the present." Feng Ling patted the dirt on his hands and said, "For example, now I want to catch Xingguang." "This alien is not easy to catch." Ye Zheng asked, "Have you chosen a place?"
Feng Ling nodded, "Well, there are many tunnels in Jingnan City. I've seen an abandoned tunnel that I think is suitable. I'll take you to see it later."
"Okay, let's observe for a few more days and try not to alert the enemy."
"Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."
The two chatted for a while by the lake, and soon Xu Yiming and Cao Hongyi came back with a cart of food.
The two men were having an outdoor barbecue with great enthusiasm, and Feng Ling and Huangfu Miaomiao also joined in the fun.
After eating the barbecue, we cleaned up and tidied up the mess, and before we knew it, it was already evening.
Xu Yiming and Cao Hongyi are going to fly back to Qingjiang City.
Feng Ling is going to meet He Yuening and He Xingluo to patrol together.
Ye Zheng needs to stay in Maple Leaf Lake. Her main task is to protect Li Qing. However, the long night is bound to be boring, so Ye Zheng took away the tablet computer that Huangfu Miaomiao had just obtained.
Huangfu Miaomiao got into the pickup truck with tears in her eyes.
Feng Ling threw his phone to her, "It's the same if you use my phone to watch short videos."
"It's different..." Huangfu Miaomiao closed her eyes, looking heartbroken.
Feng Ling held the steering wheel and sighed.
It seems that I have to buy Ye Zheng a mobile phone. The expenses of supporting the family have been getting higher and higher recently.

……
As the sun sets in the west, the glass walls of the tall buildings reflect the orange-gold light. The forest of steel and concrete becomes soft and warm at this moment. But after the afterglow fades, the city becomes rugged and cold again.
Neon lights began to light up and traffic gradually thinned out.
Feng Ling drove the pickup truck slowly through the traffic. She estimated the time and called He Yuening.
"Little Moon~Little Star~Which street do we start patrolling from today?"
On the other end of the phone, He Yuening's voice was still lively: "Hahaha! Xingluo, did you hear that? Feng Ling called us Little Moon and Little Star, hahahahahaha..."
He Xingluo's voice came: "Don't laugh... Sister Ling, Sister Ling, we are rushing to Jinxi Road now. There was a police notification just now. Someone in Jinxi Road called the police and reported that an alien species was found."
"Sister Ling! This is our first time on patrol in Jingnan City!" This was He Yuening's voice, sounding a little excited.
Then He Xingluo complained in a low voice: "Be serious, we are recording a video."
"Oh, I see..."
According to relevant regulations, inspectors must turn on their cameras every time they go out on patrol.
Feng Ling smiled and said, "I'm not far from there, let's go over and take a look."
