Chapter 150: Extreme Rescue_2
"Based on what you three said, they will arrange for all the children to go to the cafeteria now. So we'll first ensure the safety of the cafeteria."
Qin Feng listened to the captain and said:
"Well... Captain, how about the three of us go help out? Actually, the three of us have some abilities."
"We can handle some particularly tricky existences."
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the captain chuckled:
"Alright, I know the Cloud City Investigation Bureau agents are impressive. Your director has praised you more than once, but Old Qin, don't bother."
"Leave this small matter to us."
...
For some reason, Qin Feng felt uneasy in his heart.
This orphanage definitely had issues. Through the investigation by him and his partners, it was 100% certain that this place was related to the scam zone in Burma.
There was also human trafficking happening here.
But he still couldn't figure out how it was being operated.
However, the city's elite, they were sharpshooters capable of handling border conflicts.
Each one of them was battle-hardened... Surely, they wouldn't run into trouble fully armed, right?
Qin Feng was still very anxious. He always worried about all sorts of things.
But facing the city's elite, he couldn't say much.
Old Tai said:
"Brother Feng, are we really not going to help?"
Qin Feng said:
"Our abilities are all combat-related. If a fight breaks out later, we'll step in. Discipline first."
Tang Yi thought the same thing and nodded:
"Alright, Brother Feng, we'll follow your lead."
The three of them, coincidentally enough, awakened their abilities at the brink of the apocalypse.
The three were also very pleased. Compared to ordinary people, those serving the public actually needed these abilities more.
They all had confidence that they could enter the battlefield at the first sign of combat.
This mission involved multiple criminal groups, so the place they could have taken down by themselves... had to follow the process, calling in the city's elite for help.
The three waited patiently.
At first, they whispered to each other about recent strange events.
The youngest among the three was Tang Yi, a top student here to gain experience, whose hometown was Jiangcheng.
Tang Yi said there was a heavy rain in Jiangcheng, and many strange events occurred during the rain, making Jiangcheng's investigation bureau very busy.
Tang Yi said that a distant relative of his was killed, dying in the heavy rain.
The other two listened with great interest.
But before long, Qin Feng frowned.
"Why... is it so quiet?"
With that said, Tang Yi and Old Tai also realized something was wrong.
It had been over ten minutes... and the walkie-talkie had no information, no intelligence at all.
The world seemed to fall into silence, where they could hear insects chirping, could hear the wind, but no human voices.
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, it was eerily silent, and none of the dozen city elites uttered a word.
Qin Feng said:
"Something's not right, there's something wrong here, come on, follow me to check it out!"
Qin Feng picked up his gun, Tang Yi and Old Tai also picked up their guns. The three looked towards the distant orphanage, discovering a creepy fog shrouding it.
Qin Feng immediately said:
"Put on gas masks, be careful."
The other two nodded, quickly put on their equipment, and headed toward their destination.
All the way, the three of them softly called through the walkie-talkie, but on the other end... there was no response.
Soon, the three arrived at the fog-enshrouded orphanage. This eerie fog was not toxic.
Outside the orphanage gate, Qin Feng saw a bizarre scene. At a close enough distance, even within the thick fog, it was within visible range.
So Qin Feng saw—
A row of "toys" wearing black bulletproof uniforms, looking very much like members of the Cloud City Special Operations Unit, standing uniformly at the orphanage gate.
These toys were about half the size of a normal human, like those exquisite dolls in toy stores.
They all had eerie smiles on their faces.
If you looked carefully at the faces of these toys, you would see they were identical to the city elites' faces.
"What's going on... did they pre-make these toys? What kind of method is this?" Tang Yi was puzzled, feeling a tingling sensation inside.
It was as if something terrifying was crawling on his back.
Qin Feng's pupils contracted because he suddenly noticed something...
A scratch on the gun of one of the toys.
That was the captain's pistol, the scratch was made a few days ago during a mission.
Qin Feng was shocked. How could the orphanage people know such a detail?
A horrifying thought was born.
"These things... they're not toys, these things are real people!"
As soon as this thought emerged, the surrounding scene quickly changed.
All at once, all the toys turned around, drew their guns, and aimed at the three.
Qin Feng said:
"Old Tai!"
Although Old Tai didn't understand what was happening, the moment he was aimed at, he immediately extended his palms.
The air seemingly had a subtle ripple, making Old Tai, Qin Feng, and Tang Yi appear blurry.
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out nonstop. Tang Yi was stunned because he saw real bullets appearing in the airflow in front of Old Tai.
After passing through that layer of airflow, the bullets slowed down immensely, hardly approaching Old Tai.
Thus, Tang Yi confirmed that the guns these toys held were real guns.
"Damn, what's going on?" Tang Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
Qin Feng said:
"Retreat! Evacuate! There's something strange about this place! These toys are not toys! They are the city's elite, transformed into real toys!"
