Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

Gao Changkong, the popular investigation team leader in Blizzard City, seems to have a sunny and calm personality.

He is elegant and easy-going, and can get along well with many people.

When Zhang Yi chatted with him, he felt that this person had a very good temperament.

Gradually, Zhang Yi also began to talk to him in depth about other topics.

For example, the missions carried out by the investigation team outside.

"Captain Gao, I have a question about your investigation team's mission."

Gao Changkong thought for a moment and smiled, "You can ask. There are some things that the higher-ups ask us to keep secret, but most missions aren't actually very secretive at all."

Zhang Yi put down his wine glass. "There are six investigation teams in the Jiangnan region, and they're out on missions for a long time."

"Even this time, when Neon's aliens appeared in the area, we didn't see all the investigation teams being recalled."

"What kind of mission are you carrying out? Is the mission level higher than Eclipse Moon?"

Gao Changkong thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "It's hard to answer this question in one sentence. I can only say that each of our missions is different, varied, and bizarre."

He pointed at Baili Changqing.

"Take the Black Robe Squad for example! They're primarily responsible for human issues. If large-scale unrest occurs in various cities, they're responsible for suppressing it."

"And our Samsara team has been dealing with the problem of the Beast recently."

Zhang Yi frowned, "Is it a [suffering] problem?"

This is a bit philosophical.

"Beast of wild beasts. Beast of strange beasts."

Gao Changkong saw the mockery in Zhang Yi's eyes and explained with a laugh.

"You should know that after the end of the world, there will be an era of great mutation. Not only humans can mutate and evolve, but other creatures can as well."

Zhang Yi nodded: "Of course I know this."

His Huahua and Xingtian's demon dog Lele are both mutant creatures.

Gao Changkong said, "However, there are fewer mutants in urban areas, and there are rarely any that are too ferocious."

"However, in the mountains and rivers, where wild animals gather, large-scale mutant groups may appear."

"It's just like us humans. The more people there are in a place, the higher the probability of mutants appearing."

"Furthermore, the more mutated the individual is, the stronger it becomes!"

"There are even some areas where mutated herds of beasts have appeared."

Gao Changkong's eyes turned serious.

"Take Beiting Lake, where we're heading this time, for example! Many of the mutated beasts have acquired intelligence, even comparable to that of humans!"

"Even ordinary mutated jackals, tigers and leopards are not comparable to humans in terms of physical strength."

"The global catastrophe has almost returned us to primitive times, and our advantage in weapons has been greatly weakened."

“This is what caused the beasts to rise.”

"The five cities surrounding Beiting Lake have all been occupied by the beastmen."

"And it took us three months to take it down with the full support of Blizzard City!"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but gasp.

Isn't this a beast tide?

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually very reasonable.

After a long period of evolution, humans are actually no longer suitable for nature.

The sudden disaster killed most people.

On the contrary, wild animals that are more adaptable to changes in the natural environment began to rise.

After all, most beasts are physically stronger than humans.

Even the slightest mutation is enough to make it a formidable opponent.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but say, "Luckily I live by the sea!"

The waters near the coast are basically frozen because the salt content is not that high.

And even if there are some mutated creatures, they will not be too powerful.

I'm afraid there are many powerful and terrifying mutants in the ocean.

However, that is also a creature in the deep sea.

They shouldn't come onto land and cause trouble.

Zhang Yi asked curiously, "So, the situation is the same for the other investigation teams?"

Gao Changkong smiled and said, "Everyone has their own troubles."

He didn't elaborate, and Zhang Yi realized that this was a secret that could not be known to outsiders.

After all, Zhang Yi is not yet a regular employee of Blizzard City, so some words should be spoken to him with caution.

The three of them drank for more than an hour and then dispersed.

This was the first time Zhang Yi met Gao Changkong. He had a good impression of Gao Changkong and thought he was an interesting person with no airs.

However, they could only speak a little bit and there was no in-depth communication.

Zhang Yi called Zhu Zheng and mentioned that he was planning to return to Tianhai City to meet his companions.

Zhu Zheng smiled and said, "That's fine, but you have to go and come back quickly. After the Samsara team returns, we will have to start the next round of combat operations right away. We can't do without you!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his forehead and agreed without hesitation.

Then he asked Baili Changqing to take him to the subway station and take the subway back to Tianhai City.

Meanwhile, at the combat command center, Zhu Zheng ended his call with Zhang Yi and looked across with a calm expression.

An old man with a face like Buddha was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely.

Zhu Zheng said, "Mr. Deng, now that everyone is here, we can start implementing our plan. Do you have any questions?"

Deng Yuanbo put down the cup in his hand.

He looked at Zhu Zheng with a smile on his face.

"Has the selection been decided?"

Zhu Zheng frowned slightly. "Zhang Yi is a very good candidate. I asked for his opinion, but he is unwilling to take on the responsibilities of captain."

Zhu Zheng crossed his hands in his lap.

"His abilities are crucial to this operation, but I'm more optimistic about his ability to block the opponent's prophetic abilities, rather than his combat effectiveness!"

"The captain position can be replaced by someone else. As for command alone, Baili Changqing might be more suitable."

The smile on Deng Yuanbo's face became even more pronounced.

"But can Baili Changqing's strength convince everyone?"

Zhu Zheng snorted softly, "Bai Li Chang Qing is at least a vice-captain. Although he's not as strong as the six captains, he's still only slightly below them."

"If Baili Changqing is not allowed to take the position, does that mean that all the command power will be handed over to Gao Changkong?"

Deng Yuanbo smiled and said, "I know you can't give such great power to one person."

"But we in Blizzard City cannot afford another failure in this operation. If we fail again, you should know how serious the consequences will be."

Zhu Zheng's eyes became deep.

If he fails at the hands of Eclipse again, he, as the commander of the Jiangnan region, will have to resign no matter what.

But do we really want Gao Changkong to hold such enormous power?

Deng Yuanbo slowly spoke, "In my opinion, Zhang Yi is the best candidate. He refused the captaincy because the price you offered wasn't high enough to impress him."
