If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 64: Situation of the 14th Detachment

Fan Honghong was thinking about what to say to Aunt Lin when he suddenly heard Aunt Lin ask:
"Honghong, you're back. Why isn't my Xiangxiang back? Did you two have another fight?"

Fan Honghong was stunned. When she realized something, her face changed and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Aunt Lin was still talking to herself, "Honghong, my Xiangxiang has a bad temper and is prone to getting into trouble. You should be more patient with her..."

Aunt Lin would never have said these words before.

At this time, another middle-aged man came out and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait a moment? Why are you in such a hurry? Xiangxiang won't be back so soon."

As he said this, he walked forward and held Aunt Lin's wheelchair.

This person is naturally Lu Xiangxiang's father, Aunt Lin's husband.

"Uncle Lu...Aunt Lin..." Fan Honghong hesitated to speak.

"It's Honghong." Uncle Lu then noticed the presence of Fan Honghong and Fanxing, "You're back." As he said this, a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

Fan Honghong noticed that although Uncle Lu was still dressed meticulously as usual, he could not hide the fatigue on his face.

I only heard Uncle Lu say to Aunt Lin: "Go back to the house first, I have something to tell Hong Hong."

Aunt Lin looked puzzled. "What can't you say to my face?"

But despite saying that, she still pushed her wheelchair into the yard by herself, muttering softly, "Really, how could she have accidentally fallen?"

Fan Honghong knew that she was talking about her leg, but Fan Honghong knew very well that the injury was not caused by an accidental fall, but was caused by Aunt Lin when she committed suicide.

After Aunt Lin walked away, the smile on Uncle Lu's face gradually faded, replaced by a dejected look.

"Honghong, I'm sure you've seen it too. Your Aunt Lin was so shocked that she has a problem with her brain. Her memory is stuck on the morning when Xiangxiang went out the day before yesterday."

Just now, the two of them were preparing to celebrate Xiangxiang's graduation at home.

Because their relationship with Xiangxiang has always been strained, Aunt Lin has been urging Uncle Lu to hurry up, hoping that it can be done before Xiangxiang comes back.

They didn't want their daughter to see how diligent and busy they were. Wouldn't that mean they were the ones who gave in first?
No, absolutely not!
This couple's personalities are just like that, strict and awkward, otherwise their relationship with their daughter wouldn't have gotten to the point it is now.

In fact, this scene had already happened once yesterday morning.

What they happily welcomed that day was not the graduation of Lu Xiangxiang, but the news of her death.

Uncle Lu is very regretful now. He thinks, if he and his wife had softened their attitudes earlier, would things not have come to this point?

Unfortunately, it's too late...

"Honghong, please, next time you meet Aunt Lin, just play along with her, just as if Xiangxiang... is still here..."

As he spoke, Uncle Lu, who usually had a strong personality, had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"I understand, Uncle Lu." Fan Honghong hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Uncle Lu forced a smile and said, "It's actually quite good for her to be like this. Otherwise... it would be... too miserable..."

That was their only daughter... and she was gone just like that.

After saying this, Fan Honghong suddenly seemed to feel that Uncle Lu's body was a little hunched.

She couldn't help but comfort him, "Uncle Lu, you must hold on. Xiangxiang still has a chance of revival. It's certain. Xiaohuan and I will help."

Uncle Lu said gratefully, "I will, don't worry." In fact, he was also trying his best. After all, he couldn't put all his hopes on the children.

He is also a spiritualist. Although he is not in a combat position, he is at least better than the two fledgling girls Fan Honghong and Mei Xiaohuan in terms of strength, connections and knowledge.

But in fact, he had no hope for his daughter's resurrection, because he had never heard of any case of the dead being resurrected.

Even if there had been one such case, he would not be as desperate as he is now.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Lu said, "You guys go and do your own things. I should go back to see your Aunt Lin..."

Fan Honghong nodded and watched Uncle Lu leave. He only spoke after he was out of sight.

"Uncle Lu used to be such a strong person... and Aunt Lin, she's also very strong-willed..."

Fanxing patted Fan Honghong's back, silently comforting her.

Soon Fan Honghong adjusted his mood and said to Fanxing, "Let's go to the detachment first!"

Then the two of them passed through the Liangjie Pavilion and successfully arrived in the surface world.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Fan Honghong pointed to a tall building not far away and said to Fanxing: "Xingxing, look, that's where I work in the surface world."

There was a sign on the roof of the tall building that read "Hongguang City Third People's Hospital".

Fanxing teased her, "You're a doctor from a big hospital, so impressive!"

The reputation of Hongguang City Third People's Hospital is among the best in the entire Longxia Country.

"Hehehe~~" Fan Honghong patted Fanxing, "You're still just an intern! You're still far from that."

In fact, as a spiritualist, Fan Honghong's medical skills are very superb, which is a dimensionality reduction attack in the surface world. With the blessing of the spiritual bandage, she can easily complete an operation that seems extremely difficult to others.

Of course, as an intern, she is not yet qualified to perform surgery in the surface world, but she has performed several surgeries due to accidents in the inner world.

Fan Honghong has a car. She drove her car out of the garage and drove to the location of the 14th team according to the address given by the teacher.

About 30 minutes later, the car stopped not far from a narrow alley.

After getting out of the car, the two walked to the entrance of the alley and saw that the dim alley was dirty and messy.

"The 14th team is here?" Fan Honghong said in disbelief. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't even believe that there was such a dirty and messy place in Hongguang City.

The architectural style here seems to be a relic of the old times.

"Could it be a mistake?" Fanxing was also a little bit unbelieving.

Fan Honghong looked at the address on the spiritual pattern wristband again, "Yes, it's this place, No. 111, Lanting Apartment, Yanxia Street, East District.

Look, doesn't the sign next to it point to Lanting Apartment at the end of this alley?

Fanxing looked in the direction Fan Honghong pointed, and sure enough, she saw a dilapidated road sign.

"Let's go in and take a look first." Seeing that the address was correct, she walked into the alley first.

Fan Honghong followed closely behind.

Kicking a broken cardboard box into a nearby trash can, she couldn't help but complain, "Isn't there a garbage disposal robot here?"

Just as she finished speaking, she stepped on another banana peel.

Fortunately, she walked very steadily, otherwise she would have fallen. He kicked the banana peel into the trash can again, complaining as he hurried to catch up with Fanxing.

After walking through a long alley, Fanxing and the others saw a dilapidated apartment building in front of them. This style of building would probably be hard to find anywhere else except here.

(Note: The world in which Fanxing resides is a future world with slightly more advanced technology than our real world, but not by much, less than a hundred years.)
At this moment, someone happened to be passing by. Fan Honghong quickly stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to bus number 111?"

The man casually pointed in a direction and said, "Look, it's the one at the very back."

"Thank you." Fan Honghong thanked him politely and then pulled Fanxing inside, complaining as he walked, "It's not like I haven't visited other branches. Even if their branches aren't skyscrapers, they're still ordinary houses. Ours is nothing but a slum from the old days."

Fanxing carefully observed the surrounding environment and suddenly said, "Do you feel that the spiritual energy here is more abundant than outside?"

Fan Honghong was stunned. "Is there?" She stopped and felt it for a while. "No?"

No? Fanxing looked puzzled. Could it be that Honghong couldn't feel it?

Just then, a round, red bird landed on the power lines above their heads.

The little bird is only the size of a fist, with black eyes, it is so cute.

Fanxing recognized it as a spirit creature at a glance.

After walking a few steps forward, I saw a little flower spirit sitting leisurely on the disk of a sunflower in a flowerpot at the door of a house, basking in the sun.

When it realized that the stars were looking at it, it waved at them, not thinking that it was a big deal that someone could see it.

Just as they were about to reach No. 111, a big yellow dog suddenly appeared from nowhere and barked at them.

However, passers-by ignored the big yellow dog. Obviously, it was also a spiritual species.

After the big yellow dog barked a few times, it was glared at fiercely by Fan Honghong, and it immediately ran away with its tail between its legs.

Seeing this, Fanxing asked again: "Honghong, do you think there are too many spirit seeds here?"

Fan Honghong thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.

Except for special spirit species such as the little flower spirit and the little wood spirit, other spirit species will be sent to the inner world once they are discovered, otherwise they will soon be contaminated by the strange elements that are prevalent in the surface world.

Moreover, this is the location of the patrol branch, so it should be so. However, the 14th branch did not seem to take any measures against the spiritual seeds here, but chose to let them run free.

"What a strange place." Fan Honghong also murmured.

The two soon arrived at the door of No. 111, only to see the tattered iron gate covered with various small advertisements.

Fan Honghong reached out and knocked on the door. "Isn't there even a doorbell?"

After knocking for a long time with no response, she increased her strength.

Finally, the door banged open.

"Knock, knock, He Chaoyang, are you going to die? You're not going to let me sleep so early in the morning!"

The person who opened the door was a sloppy middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, with a fair face and no beard, but he was fat all over, especially his beer belly was very conspicuous, and he was bald on the top of his head.

He was wearing a white old man's shirt on the upper body, loose brown shorts on the lower body, and a pair of sandals on his feet that looked like they had been worn for a long time.

When he saw that the person coming was not He Chaoyang, he was slightly stunned, and then asked doubtfully: "Who are you looking for?"

Fan Honghong said: "We are the new people who have just been assigned here."

The man suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead, saying, "Oh, oh, oh, I remember now. That's what happened. So it was you guys!"

Fan Honghong: ...

Is this person reliable?
"Please come in, please come in!" The man quickly made way and invited the two in.

When the two entered the house, they were immediately shocked by the mess inside.

There were potato chip bags all over the floor, several leftover instant noodle buckets on the table, and the sofa was piled with clothes, which seemed to include a pair of underwear with holes in it.

The man cleaned up quickly and said without embarrassment, "Haha~haha~ I forgot there's a new person coming. It's a little dirty and messy. I'll clean it up right away."

As he packed up, he introduced himself: "My name is Lu Xiaoling, captain of the 14th team. You can call me Xiaoling or Captain."

After looking around the room, Fanxing asked, "Captain, are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

Lu Xiaoling replied, "There's another member named He Chaoyang. He's busy with his work in the outer world and only comes when there's a mission."

Upon hearing this, Fan Honghong exclaimed, "No, there are only two of you in the 14th team?"

Lu Xiaoling smiled and said, "There are two more of you, so there are four of us now."

Fan Honghong couldn't help but whisper to Fanxing, "No wonder Team 14 is so unknown. There are only two people, and one of them is your rotten ex-husband."

Fanxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.

"Captain, do you usually live directly in the branch?" Fanxing asked.

"Yeah!" Lu Xiaoling nodded. "It turns out it's just Xiao He and I. I might as well live here. But I'll be careful next time."

After all, the newcomers are two girls, so he can't be too casual.

The room was quickly cleaned up, and Fanxing and Fan Honghong also roughly figured out the general structure of this branch.

The entire branch was converted from a two-bedroom, one-living-room residential building.

One of the bedrooms is currently occupied by Lu Xiaoling, and the other has become a storage room.

The living room is the main activity area, with an electronic screen more than one meter high in front. According to Lu Xiaoling, that is the task bar for the patrol team to accept tasks.

In addition to dealing with the sudden appearance of spiritual species within the city, the patrol team can also accept various tasks issued by the alliance on their own.

Of course, these missions basically take place in the surface world, and the patrol team is too low-level to be qualified to accept the missions in the inner world.

The situation of the 14th Detachment is that He Chaoyang is a bad guy who never accepts any missions and only handles emergencies in the urban area.

Lu Xiaoling, on the other hand, was a person who took advantage of the situation. She took the salary from the alliance for nothing, and spent her weekdays either sleeping or playing games in her room. She never even left the branch office.

This is how he got his glowing white skin.

So the task column of Branch 14 is just a decoration.

Just as the three of them were getting to know each other, a snow-white pig-shaped spirit flew out of the room, yawning as it walked.

Why do we say this pig flew out? Because its body is very petite, about the size of a chicken, but its ears are bigger than its body, flapping and flapping, and it actually has the ability to fly.
