The police officer whose shield was hit lowered his body a little, but still gritted his teeth and responded: "Well...we will never surrender to the infected!"

"There are only a few of you! Why are you doing this? What's the benefit?" The other party didn't quite understand, but swung the stick in his hand even harder.

"It's our duty!" the police officer responded, and several people worked together to build a flesh-and-blood defense line to block the attacking infected people in the alley.

"Then don't blame us for being ruthless! Didn't you see the monster behind us? Let us pass!" The infected person seemed to have heard something, looked back, and then with a look of horror on his face, he pushed the police officer desperately with one hand and pointed behind him with the other.

But the only response he got was the police officer muttering in confusion, "Where are the monsters? Huh?!"

The next moment, the member of the Integration Movement suddenly felt someone grabbing his back, and then pulling him back violently. He flew out with all four limbs in the air, fell heavily to the ground, and was unable to get up for a long time.

The culprit who caused all this threw out a few infected people who were caught off guard. After confirming that they had lost their ability to resist, he clapped his hands, looked at the police officer who was looking at them and said, "The pressure has been relieved."

"I recognize you. You were there when we fought Bone Crusher before." Chen Huijie didn't dare to call her old colleague by name. Her current identity was limited to the fact that they had cooperated in previous operations.

"Ah! Doctor! I was indeed there at that time. Thank you for your support. Who is this?" The police officer gestured to his colleagues to check the infected people who fell to the ground, and then expressed his gratitude to Chen Huijie for his support. Then he noticed the infected person who had been following her.

Since the police officer knew the doctor, he did not question Huang's identity as an infected person.

"This is my bodyguard. He will be acting with me for the time being. Without further ado, the next line of defense should be Hengshan Square in District 16?" Chen Huijie explained Huang's identity, then took out a map and asked the police officer about the defense line.

"Do you still need to send guards with your strength? You seem to be quite capable, right?" The police officer muttered to himself, but still asked seriously through the communicator. After getting permission, he told the two about the defense line arranged by the Guard Bureau at Hengshan Square.

After thanking the other party, Chen Huijie took back the map with satisfaction, and then called Huang to go to the next location.

Not long after they set off, they both stopped at the same time. Huang noticed that Mephisto's herd was attacking their own people not far away, and she felt confused.

A new picture appeared in front of Chen Huijie, which showed the conversation between Chen Sir and Shi Huaiya in another location.

"Strange, there are physiological messages all the time, but I can't receive any scheduled notifications, and there is no sign of emergency signals being sent. What happened..." In the screen, Sir Chen stared at the communicator uneasily, and looked up in a certain direction from time to time.

Chen Huijie took in the other person's words and actions. Was he an informant? Judging from the situation, was he an important informant? Would he be an important part of the main storyline like Ah Fa?

Shi Huaiya noticed Sir Chen's uneasiness and directly guessed the reason for his concern and deduced further based on it.

"Infected?" "Yes."

"You suspect he has defected?" "No way."

"So this is the 'absolutely impossible' that you suspect?"

Upon hearing this, Sir Chen subconsciously looked in a certain direction and said with some concern: "If she really defected...the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, if she were to betray Longmen, then no one in the entire Longmen would be trustworthy. "

After hearing what Sir Chen said, Shi Huaiya and Chen Huijie had already guessed who it was. In the scene, when Shi Huaiya subconsciously grabbed Sir Chen and questioned him, Chen Huijie silently opened the address book on the game interface and sent a message to a superior who was working overtime.

"Jiu Sir, there is news about you in the main storyline, come quickly!"

Chapter 129 Two Willful Snipers

Ever since Zhou came out, there has been a question lingering in the hearts of Longmen, especially the police officers of the Guard Bureau, that is, why their superior Jiu Sir has not had any news of her. This question became more and more intense until the main line of Chapter 5 when the Guard Bureau was breached and Jiu Sir did not show up.

For a time, there were all kinds of opinions about Jiu in the Guard Bureau and even among the residents of Longmen. The most accepted conclusion was that Jiu left the Guard Bureau or even died in the line of duty for some reason before the main storyline.

Although these speculations did not affect Jiu's mentality, they have had some impact on her work task arrangement. Unfortunately, Jiu herself had already given up, and she just spent more time moving bricks in the game.

As her student and someone who had been taken care of since she joined the Guards Bureau, Chen Huijie saw all of this and was anxious. Now that there was news about Jiu, she naturally notified everyone immediately.

As soon as he got off work, he lived in the game, doing his homework while studying the dark files, thinking about how to give the other party a formal organization. When Jiu saw Chen Huijie's message, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sent a question mark immediately.

"?"

"In the beginning of the sixth chapter, there is some information about you. It is very likely that you have joined the Reunion Movement and become my...informant."

"Informant?"

"Yes, I will tell you the follow-up developments as soon as possible." "Okay, thank you, Xiao Chen."

Seeing this, Jiu couldn't help but touch the Originium growing on her back, then his body shook violently, feeling the hardness of his fingers and the pain of the Originium being touched. Jiu directly quit the game and returned to his personal space, lying on his side on his sofa and closed his eyes.

"An informant of the Reunion Movement? Haha, that timeline does fit her identity. Maybe she asked to go there on her own initiative."

Thinking about these things, Jiu fell asleep unconsciously. In fact, Jiu had not slept well for such a long time. People, once they know that there is no story of their own in the future of another time and space, they will always worry about gains and losses, and even affect themselves. Sometimes it is better to have news, at least their story is still going on.

Chen Huijie, who didn't know that her Ninth Commander had fallen asleep, was still pointing in the air. This was too much. He simply revealed the news about the Ninth Sir and then there was no more scene, leaving only the scene where Faust and Mephistopheles seemed to have a conflict.

At this time, Faust tried his best to persuade Mephisto to stop his Originium spell to catalyze the herd, but Mephisto, who could no longer bear other people's opinions, silenced him instead.

Chen Huijie gritted her teeth as she watched Mephisto in the screen no longer care about anything and let the herd attack their own people, and then the attacked people would catalyze the formation of new herds. But now she could only instruct Huang and notify Amiya and others to speed up the pace to the defense line of Hengshan Square in District 16. She had already recognized that Mephisto and others were there.

While on the road, Chen Huijie watched the tragedy of the integration movement and the herd killing each other, and silently cursed Mephistopheles in her heart, "You deserve to die!" She only hated that she couldn't kill Mephistopheles at the end of the main storyline of Chapter 5. Injuring the opponent, but making him more crazy and harming innocent people is not what Chen Huijie, a righteous girl, wants to see.

Soon, Amiya and Graythroat, dragging Gavial, who was found from somewhere, arrived at the location first with the Rhodes Island team, and began to cooperate with the guards to rebuild a stronger line of defense.

Not far away in the alley opposite the defense line, some members of the Integration Movement could be seen running towards them as if escaping for their lives. From deeper inside, screams and terrifying howls were heard, making some members' scalps tingle.

Upon seeing this, Amiya first asked Sir Chen for an oral order to direct the guards who were forming a unified defense line with them, and then ordered to let these escaping infected people pass through their first line of defense. Gavial, who was on standby, led the medical team to examine and question these infected people, and at the same time asked all members to prepare for battle to guard against the herds that might emerge from the alley at any time.

Chen Huijie also hurried over with Huang. Seeing the little rabbit jogging over and looking at her with concern, she raised her hand and was about to say something when she froze, leaving the little rabbit at a loss.

In the scene, Faust, who ignored Mephisto's orders, raised his crossbow and led his team of phantom crossbowmen to attack his companions' herd, covering the evacuation of the surviving members of the Integration Movement, leaving only the Libori boy with a hideous face standing there.

Looking at the thin figure who was protecting his own people, Chen Huijie's favorability towards Faust increased. It turned out that there were normal people around Mephistopheles, but the top priority at this stage was to resist the impact of Mephistopheles' herd. They could now see the herds following the fleeing infected people and rushing towards the defense line.

Just as Chen Huijie transformed into Archangel Power and fired the ammunition in her hands at the herds one by one to cover the evacuation of other infected people, she noticed that the images of Faust and Mephistopheles had disappeared at some point.

But she had no time to study these things. While turning on the overload mode output, she shouted at the infected people to move faster and asked Javier to speed up the work. After entering the defense line, they had their bodies checked immediately. Those who were scratched by the herd were put aside for isolation. The rest of the infected people were supervised by members of the second or even third line of defense.

After seeing that the members of the Reunion Movement were relatively safe, Faust, who was hiding in a tall building in the alley, led the Phantom Crossbowmen to slowly disperse. Mephisto was right. Although these herds' attack on the defense line seemed excessive, it was also their best chance to break through the defense line by taking advantage of the chaos.

Faust, who seemed to have gained a little comfort by silently deceiving himself in his heart, took Mephistopheles and others and successfully broke through another weaker line of defense with the help of the concealment spell and evacuated towards the gantry exit.

However, their actions were seen by several people who had been following them. Several dark shadows standing in the shadow of the tall building watched them break through another line of defense, nodded to each other, and then disappeared without a trace.

The sharp-eyed Graythroat also noticed all this. Standing on the high platform, she noticed a few blurred moments of light and shadow on the other side of the defense line. Having already known the intelligence of Faust and others in advance, she guessed that some members of the Phantom Crossbowmen took advantage of the chaos to escape from other defense lines.

After notifying Amiya, who had a good relationship with her, Graythroat, who was originally sniping the herd, picked up the crossbow and left the high platform defense line on his own, chasing in the direction where the blurry light and shadow had just appeared.

Amiya, who didn't know the truth, shouted a few words from the command terminal. When she saw that the other party didn't respond, she could only say to Chen Huijie who had noticed something was wrong and came to her side:

"Doctor, could you please go over and support Graythroat? I'm worried that she might be in danger. You're the only person I trust the most here. Once the situation on the defense line here eases, I'll bring people over to support her as soon as possible."

"Although her self-centered behavior is really annoying, Doctor, please rest assured. This line of defense is left to us. Please go over quickly. After all, you are our companion." The saw in Huang's hand was already turning completely. She waved the saw to tear one herd after another into pieces, and said while she had time.

Seeing Graythroat suddenly leaving the line to chase someone, and the scene of Faust and others who had already disappeared, Chen Huijie, who had already guessed who the other party was chasing, no longer hesitated. He transformed into Angelina, cast a gravity spell, and flew up to chase after them.

Looking at Chen Huijie's receding figure, Huang, who had seen it many times, couldn't help but complain: "The doctor's Originium skills are really outrageous."

Chapter 130 Conversation between Snipers

After all, the Phantom Crossbowmen were better at fighting in the snow than in alleys. What's more, they had to cover the retreat of a part of the remnants of the Integration Movement along the way. This meant that no matter how cautious they were, they still left some traces behind, and Graythroat followed the traces all the way.

On the other side, after ordering the Phantom Crossbowman to take Mephisto away first, Faust cleaned up a lot of out-of-control herds. He then stood in an alley and communicated with several survivors of the Integration Movement who were about to leave.

"Are you really not going back to Chernobyl with us?" Faust asked somewhat sadly as he looked at the old faces in front of him. They were all compatriots who had walked out of the snowfield with Faust and others.

"I'm sorry Faust, the current behavior and philosophy of the Reunion Movement are far from our previous ideals. Helping you attack Longmen is the last thing we can do for the Reunion Movement.

Now Ivan, who had been following the Bone Crusher cadre, also died under Mephisto's spell. He evaded the pursuit of Rhodes Island and the Guards, but died at the hands of his own people. We, we really don't want to continue fighting.

This time, if we are still alive after leaving Longmen, we plan to go west to see if we can find a way for the infected to survive."

"West? OK, I wish you good luck on your journey." Faust turned around and was about to leave. One of the members of the Reunion Movement hesitated for a moment and said:

"Faust, are you really unwilling to come with us? You know that Leader Tallulah and Mephisto, who we watched grow up together, really make us feel strange now. Are they really still our companions, and not some devils?"

Faust, who was about to leave, stopped. Some memories rose up from the bottom of his heart again. Since the plan to attack Chernobyl, how many innocent people had died in front of him? He seemed to see those innocent civilians and compatriots who died tragically under Mephistopheles' atrocities. They stood in front of him, questioning him and cursing him.

All this made him silent. After a long while, he said, "After taking Mephisto back... I won't go to Chernobog, don't worry."

"Well... Faust, this is the mark of our team. If you want to follow us, just follow the mark we left. We are waiting for you."

One of the infected people stepped forward and handed Faust a drawing with the mark of his team on it, then stepped back. Faust took a look at the mark, which was a logo of a team under the guerrillas.

He did not answer, but gradually disappeared from their sight, but they knew that Faust had heard it. Several people looked at each other, took off the armband of the Integration Movement from their arms, held it in their hands and looked at it again, then threw it on the ground and left in another direction.

After seeing the few people leave, Faust, who had been standing in the dark, slowly emerged from the shadows. He stared at the armband thrown on the ground in a daze. Suddenly, he realized that there was a crossbow pointing at him from behind. He was about to raise the crossbow in his hand, but the Liberi girl behind him shouted sternly: "Put down your weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Faust slowly placed the crossbow in his hand next to his leg and raised his other hand above his head to indicate that he was not a threat for the time being.

Graythroat pointed the crossbow at Faust and walked out carefully from the shadows behind him. She glanced at the armband on the ground and the footprints left by others when they left.

"Only you?"

Feeling that the opponent did not want to release the crossbow in his hand for the time being, Faust subconsciously wanted to look back at the opponent. There were very few opponents who could get so close to him before he noticed them. This action made Graythroat even more nervous.

"Don't look back! If you move again, I'll shoot!"

"Crossbowmen should shoot first, then speak." After leaving a warning, Faust disappeared in front of Graythroat, leaving no trace and causing the Liberi girl's pupils to tremble violently, but she held the crossbow in her hand steadily, always aiming at the original place.

"What? The body...disappeared? No! I've read your intelligence files, and your magic can't hide from me!

I know that as long as I pull the trigger, you will be pierced by the crossbow arrow!"

Graythroat first tried to trick the other party while comforting herself, but the next second the sniper's sixth sense made her subconsciously raise the crossbow and turn around to aim behind her.

Faust slowly appeared with a crossbow in hand, looking at Graythroat with some curiosity.

"Can you predict my moves?"

The only answer he got was Graythroat's silence, but Faust was not angry. No matter who it was, if they were almost killed by the target they were targeting, no matter how calm they appeared on the surface, they would feel a little ashamed and angry in their hearts.

"We are two lone crossbowmen. If we pull the trigger at the same time, we will both die."

Faust first carefully analyzed the current situation, then asked with interest: "What's your name?"

"Code name Graythroat, when did you get behind me?" With the step given by Faust, Graythroat went down.

"When you blinked the third time, just now, why didn't you pull the trigger?"

"Rhodes Island wants to rescue other infected people. I saw you helping other infected people. Maybe we are on the same path."

"That's my comrade, and you are my enemy."

"But you are too tired now. Anyone who uses a crossbow can see your fatigue. If the string is too tight, it will break."

Faust was silent for a moment, then put down his crossbow and said, "As a crossbowman, you talk too much."

Graythroat hesitated for a moment and put down his crossbow. "Then why don't you join us on Rhodes Island to help other infected people? We could have been companions!"

To be honest, at that moment, Faust was indeed a little moved, but he suddenly thought of Mephisto, Frost Star and others, and finally he said: "You may be right, but I can't help it."

"But you haven't tried to do anything to me yet."

“It’s only because you didn’t do it that I didn’t do it.

But, next time it won’t be the same, if you don’t kill me now, I will kill you.”

Perhaps he made up his mind, Faust finally said: "Killing and being killed, we can't get rid of it. In this respect, you and I are the same."

At this point, Faust glanced at the shadows not far from Graythroat, and then disappeared. This time, he disappeared without a trace, making it impossible for Graythroat to track him. In the end, she could only shout loudly: "I have no ill intentions! It's just... why can't we be together?"

What answered her was Faust's gradually weakening reply.

"I really want to agree to your request, but I know it's impossible.

You have had too little contact with them, and your brain is full of illusions and misunderstandings.

And I...there's no way back."

"How could this happen?!" Graythroat lowered his head and said weakly.

After a while, she calmed down and suddenly said, "Come out, the one in the shadows."

"Graythroat?" Chen Huijie slowly walked out of the shadows and greeted with some concern.

"I'm fine. How long have you been watching?"

"From the moment you aimed at Faust."

"It seems I underestimated you, Doctor."

Chen Huijie did not answer, and the two continued to remain silent. Then Gray Throat spoke first: "Do you think Faust can really become our companion?"
