Chapter 693 Balance

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

He is elegant and easy-going and can get along 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 chat with him in depth about other topics.

For example, the investigation team performs tasks outside.

"Captain Gao, I have a question that I don't know if it's convenient for me to ask. It's about the mission of your investigation team."

Gao Changkong thought for a while and smiled: "You can ask and see. There are some things that the higher-ups ask us to keep secret, but most tasks actually don't have much confidentiality at all."

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

"Even this time, when neon aliens appeared in the area, all investigation teams were not recalled."

"What kind of mission are you performing? Is the mission level higher than the eclipse of the moon?"

Gao Changkong thought for a while and replied with a smile: "It's difficult to answer your question in one sentence. I can only say that each of our missions is different, varied and strange."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Evergreen.

"Take the Black Robe Squad for example! They are mainly responsible for [human] issues. If there is large-scale unrest in various cities, they will be responsible for suppressing it."

"And our reincarnation team has been solving the problem of [beasts] recently."

Zhang Yi frowned, "What's the problem with [suffering]?"

This is a bit philosophical.

"The beast of beasts. The beast of strange beasts."

Gao Changkong saw the teasing in Zhang Yi's eyes and explained with a smile.

"You should know that after the end of the world, we will usher in 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 mutated creatures.

Gao Changkong said: "However, there are fewer mutants appearing in urban areas, and there are very few that are too fierce."

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

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

"Moreover, the mutated individuals are more powerful!"

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

Gao Changkong's eyes became serious.

"Take the Beiting Lake we are going to this time as an example! Many mutated beasts have intelligence, even as much as humans!"

"Even ordinary mutated wolves, tigers and leopards cannot match the physical strength of humans."

"The global catastrophe is almost a return to the primitive era, and our advantage in weapons has been greatly weakened."

"That's when the beasts began to rise."

"The five cities around Beiting Lake were all occupied by the beast tribe."

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

Zhang Yi couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Isn't this a beast tide?

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

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

The sudden disaster caused most people to die directly.

On the contrary, beasts that are more adaptable to changes in the natural environment have begun to rise.

After all, most beasts are physically stronger than humans.

As long as there is a slight mutation, it is enough to become a difficult opponent.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, I live by the sea!"

The offshore seawater is basically frozen because the salt content of the seawater is not that high.

And even if there are some mutated creatures, they won't be too powerful.

I am afraid that there are many powerful and terrifying mutants in the ocean.

However, those are also creatures in the deep sea.

They shouldn't run onto land and cause trouble.

Zhang Yi asked curiously: "So, the situation of the other investigation teams is also the same?"

Gao Changkong smiled: "Everyone has his own troubles."

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

After all, Zhang Yi is not yet a staff member of Blizzard City, so you should have some reservations about what he says.

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

Zhang Yi met Gao Changkong for the first time. He had a good impression of Gao Changkong. He thought this person was quite interesting and he had no airs.

However, I could only speak three points, and there was no in-depth communication.

Zhang Yi called Zhu Zheng and mentioned that he planned to go back to Tianhai City to meet his companions.

Zhu Zheng smiled and said: "Okay, but you have to go back quickly. Because after the reincarnation team comes back, we will have to start the next round of combat operations immediately. We can't do it without you!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his forehead and agreed.

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

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

Sitting on the sofa was an old man with a Buddha-like face, drinking tea leisurely.

Zhu Zheng said: "Mr. Deng, now that everyone is here, our plan can be implemented. I wonder if you have any questions?"

Deng Yuanbo put down the cup in his hand.

He looked at Zhu Zheng with a smile.

"Has the selection been decided yet?"

Zhu Zheng frowned slightly, "Zhang Yi is a very good candidate. I asked his opinion and he was unwilling to assume the responsibility of captain."

Zhu Zheng crossed his hands on his lap.

"His ability is very important to this operation, but I am more optimistic about his ability to block the opponent's prophecy. Rather than his combat effectiveness!"

"The choice of captain can be replaced by someone else. In terms of command alone, Baili Changqing may be more suitable."

The smile on Deng Yuanbo's face became even stronger.

"But can Evergreen's strength convince the public?"

Zhu Zheng snorted lightly, "Baili Changqing is also a vice-captain-level combatant. Although there is a gap between him and the six captains, he is only below them."

"If Baili Changqing is not allowed to take the position, do we have to hand over the command to Gao Changkong?"

Deng Yuanbo smiled and said, "I know it's impossible for you to give such great power to one person."

"But in this operation, we in Blizzard City can no longer accept another failure. If you fail again, you should know how serious the consequences will be."

Zhu Zheng's eyes became profound.

If he fails again at the hands of Eclipse, he, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Region, will have to take the blame and resign no matter what.

However, is Gao Changkong really allowed to have such huge power?

Deng Yuanbo slowly said: "In my opinion, Zhang Yi is the best candidate. He refused the position of captain, but the price you offered was not high enough to impress him."
