Chapter 26: The Wolves
  After a while, Lin Xi stood in the middle of the crowd.
  He sank his eyes and tried to take out the firearm behind him several times but finally gave up and stood in the crowd with his eyes low .
  The woman next to her became louder.
  “Isn’t he the one sent by the laboratory!”
  “The laboratory must not be nice to us and put meticulous work by our side!”
  Responding to her words, the person next to him who was infected with the archaea screamed even louder.
  “The meticulous work of human beings! The laboratory and you should perish together!”
  He shouted, rushing towards Lin Xi with fission all over his body.
  “Bang——” At this moment, there was a sudden gunshot in the square.
  A bullet pierced through the crowd and penetrated the head of the infected person with precision.
  “Splat-“
  The green brains splattered on the spot followed by the sound of military vehicles whistling from outside the square.
  A row of convoys drove into the crowd.
  Teams are emblazoned with the diamond-shaped logo on the other side. The person in front was standing on a modified motorcycle with a green leaf in his mouth. He was not tall and was holding a sub-machine gun with smoke billowing from the muzzle.
  The crowd in the square screamed again in panic.
  The man with the green leaf in his mouth seemed to have never heard of it. He lifted the gun and fired again with a “bang bang”, killing all the surviving infected people on the field one by one.
  The convoy also stopped in the infection circle.and a group of fully-armed soldiers jumped out of the car, took out the pill and sprayed the infected body.
  The archaea were burning with flames three meters high.
  Beside the flames, another commander in a cloak stepped out of the jeep and showed his military ID.
  “A person infected with archaea has appeared here and now the third special warfare advance unit on the other side will take over to clean it up. Please cooperate with our department’s germ layer detection and investigation.” He said while looking at Lin Xi.
  Lin Xi looked away.
  But the eyes of the people around were focused on the person who they recognized.
  “Commander Mu, you’re here! Look, this is the third time an archaea has appeared in the city, what the hell is going on?”
  “The archaea has entered the city again, how will we live in the future? Ah!”
  “Commander, you must protect us, you must save us.”
  A famous commander of the advance force was very young. Five years ago, he came to Dongcheng to lead the people of Dongcheng to fight against the cataclysm of different species and become the savior of mankind.
  Sure enough, Mu Yechen responded to them: “It’s an extraordinary period recently and there are alien waves outside the city. If it’s unnecessary, everyone should go out less.”
  “Okay, let’s listen to the savior’s words.” The crowd responded immediately.
  “Savior, there is also a suspicious person who spreads archaea here. He is likely to be one of the fine works of the laboratory!” Some people are still making suggestions.
  “Commander, you should interrogate him properly.” they offered advice.
  Mu Yechen looked at Lin Xi slowly.
  He didn’t know why Lin Xi appeared here at this time but he felt that there was no need for the executioner to spread terror in the city.
  But he saw Lin Xi raised his head and looked at him again.
  He stretched out his folded hands to him.
  “Take me away.”
  The distance between the two is only two meters, next to them are excited human beings. Half of them are praying to the savior to save people and half of them are scolding the executioner’s evil deeds.
  Lin Xi glanced at it: “There may be people from the laboratory here.”
  Mu Yechen: “…”
  He didn’t really want to put shackles on Lin Xi’s thin wrists.
  However, Lin Xi added: “The infection started with me and I seem to have something on my body.”
  Mu Yechen: “…”
  “Has anyone been in contact with you?”
  “I’m tracking her but she seems to be heading towards the direction of the garrison and is now gone.”
  The two spoke in a low voice, only audible to communicate with each other.
  Mu Yechen’s eyes narrowed.
  Lin Xi is an executioner and he never failed to perform a mission. If Lin Xi can track the lost person, he’s afraid that the other party is not a simple person.
  Thinking of Lin Xi’s safety, he decided to take Lin Xi to the advance troop station for a full-body check first.
  He let Lin Xi ride in his car and only explained that he was brought back for interrogation.
  Before leaving, he also saw flyers scattered on the ground with a photo of Lin Xi wearing a red cross on the flyer.
  But Lin Xi did not mention it.
  He was silent, turned around and ordered to let Luo Xiaowei stay and destroy the flyers.
  After that, Mu Yechen and Lin Xi returned to the barracks together.
  The detection instrument swept across Lin Xi’s body, and finally detected invisible archaea molecules on the edge of Lin Xi’s trousers.
  Mu Yechen changed Lin Xi into clean clothes and ordered a search for the whereabouts of the girl in Lin Xi’s narration.
  However, the girl’s whereabouts were hidden and the advance team expanded the search area. They searched almost half of the Dongcheng but did not find the girl’s figure.
  Mu Yechen had no choice but to give up and turned around to take care of Xiao Bai in the military camp.
  He searched the barracks and found that Lin Xi had run to the city wall of Dongcheng alone.
  Inside the east wall is the world of humans.
  Outside the city walls is a different world.
  Lin Xi looked out quietly, the hair and the hem of his clothes were blown by the fishy wind but he remained motionless and looked out quietly, as if it were a standing statue.
  Mu Yechen was silent and followed him up the stairs.
  He hadn’t seen Lin Xi for a while.
  At this time, the attack of the alien species was in a rest period and only a few low-level creatures patrolled near the city wall, which was not enough to pose a threat.
  He stood beside Lin Xi and looked at the ruins outside the city wall with him.
  “Are you still used to live here?”
  “Yes.”
  “I heard Cang Jie say that you rarely eat.”
  “My structure is different from that of ordinary people. Photosynthesis is easier than eating.”
  “Then the gun… “
  “The gun is very good, easy to use, and very beautiful but it looks a little precious.”
  Lin Xi thought for a while and added.
  “But I like it very much.”
  “!!”
Â
  Mu Yechen raised his eyes and looked at the man next to him.
  He knew that the gun had been in storage for a long time and it was a coming-of-age gift from his father. Later, because of his father’s death, he rarely continued to use it.
  But one day five years ago, he sorted out his father’s belongings, reopened the red box and discovered the secret inside the gun.
  He saw a line of very small words in the precise trajectory.
  “Lin Xi, have we met before?”
  Mu Yechen’s hand on the city wall slowly tightened and after a while, he finally asked the question in his heart.
  The wind was very strong, whistling against human ears but Mu Yechen really wanted to hear the answer clearly.
  He couldn’t help but look at the executioner.
  But the executioner’s expression did not change.
  He is still looking at the world in the distance.
  “Commander is talking about the time in the monitoring room?”
  His voice was extremely natural, “I was drugged by the laboratory that time and wasn’t very conscious but I would like to thank the commander for taking off my earplugs. Thank you for letting me find out that the person was you.”
  “…”
  In that plan, he knew that Lin Xi was about to be treated as a female animal and he didn’t want such a thing to happen to the person named “Lin Xi”.
  But now Mu Yechen didn’t want to ask about the selection.
  His face was a little stiff.
  Lin Xi glanced at him but laughed: “Lord Commander, you don’t have to worry too much. Participating in breeding is a two-way choice. I am willing and I also want to leave a descendant for myself. .”
  He also hooked the corner of his lips and continued to talk about this topic.
  “Commander is the savior anyway and saved me when I was in danger. This time, it’s not a loss.”
  After not being a docile Xiaobai, Lin Xi returned to his true identity as an executioner.
  Mu Yechen sighed and didn’t ask any more questions.
  “I don’t like being called a savior,” he replied.
  Lin Xi wanted to say more but at this time his words were blocked by Mu Yechen’s memories.
  Mu Yechen said in a human way, “It may be a bit of a joke to say it. When the siege came five years ago, I don’t know how my father died. The people in the laboratory said that when the cataclysm came, I supported Dongcheng Shuangmen and successfully resisted it. The encirclement and suppression of the beast tide.”
   “But I only remember that I killed the alien species at the north gate at that time, I don’t remember that I went to support Commander Gu.”
  He said, looking at the wolves lingering on the ground.
  “On that day, I lost my father and my best friend. Besides them, I also felt that I lost a very important person.”
  “Awoo—” The wolf on the ground echoed.
  Humans watched them from the city walls.
  They are also looking at the food on the city walls.
  Lin Xi’s eyes also seemed to be looking directly at the wolves, his eyes were dull.
  But when he looked at Mu Yechen coldly, the corner of his eyes was suddenly attracted by a little red on the commander’s shoulder.
  The blood was smudged from the clothes.
  “Are you injured?” Lin Xi suddenly asked.
  Mu Yechen was startled and found that the wound on his left hand seemed to have opened again.
  The mutant’s injuries healed quickly and most of the injuries he suffered during the beast swarm twenty days ago were healed by now.
  This wound was newly added yesterday and the bone was visible at the time, so that the wound has not healed up to now.
  “Injured by the wolves?” He heard Lin Xi ask again.
  As long as the wolves linger, this siege will not end. Mu Yechen also understood this truth, he had indeed led the mutants to sneak into the rear of the siege.
  “How do you know we’ve moved them?”
  “The blue wolves are very cunning. Once they find that their opponents are difficult to deal with, they will use wheel tactics until the opponent’s physical strength is exhausted. I don’t think these low-level creatures will be difficult. They are the only ones here that might hurt you.”
  Mu Yechen was silent, he found that Lin Xi knew the wolves and himself very well.
  “Have you seen them before?”
  The executioners perform various tasks, including dealing with real aliens.
  “Yes. I have encountered a wolf pack once but although they are cunning, they also have a fatal weakness.” Lin Xi said, “I killed their leader at the time and now the wolf pack had no leader to organize an attack.”
  Mu Yechen became more silent, he said after a while: “We also went to assassinate the leader two days ago. But the strength of that wolf is probably comparable to yours. I predicted it in advance, it is very familiar with my attack method.”
  It is impossible for ordinary aliens to react faster than Mu Yechen’s and it is impossible for the wolves.
  But when the commander mentioned the “attack method”, Lin Xi’s eyes suddenly tightened.
  Mu Yechen sighed again.
  “This time, the wolves came prepared.” Mu Yechen said.
  “Last night, a human broke into our military camp and I was attacked by him. hurt.”
