Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Danger Approaches Quietly 6 Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Danger Approaches Quietly 6 Yao Ke, Du Liang, and Tang Zelin gathered around the corpse of the Alien Humanoid, discussing pressing matters.
Standing to the side, Qu Guoâan felt extremely uncomfortable with the scene before him. When Yao Ke came to him, he only mentioned that a violent foreign insurgent had crossed the border into Capital City C, showing him just the upper body.
At that time, he thought the face and mouth looked somewhat distorted and the half-body was a purplish hue, which made him feel uneasy.
But they didnât show him the thick tail of the lower body!
That⊠was a tail, right?
Qu Guoâanâs mind was a bit muddled, and as he watched the three of them discussing beside the thing, his heart felt like it was growing fur with all sorts of discomfort.
He clenched a fist and brought it to his mouth, coughing loudly twice.
Tang Zelin and the others turned their heads at the sound, and Qu Guoâan swallowed, trying his best to avoid looking at the Alien Humanoid sprawled out on the morgue table.
âThat⊠you⊠you guys continue talking, Iâm going to step out to the restroom.â
Tang Zelin could tell Qu Guoâan was off-color with just one look and understood most of it, âOld Qu, you head back to the group headquarters first, we will follow shortly.â
âAlright, alright, Iâll go back and wait for you guys.â
After speaking, Qu Guoâan bid farewell and hurried out the door, feeling as if he kept seeing tails everywhere.
He must be losing it, he probably just didnât sleep wellâŠ
Guozi, standing guard at the end of the corridor, saw the Political Commissar come out and stretched his neck to look back, âPolitical Commissar, whereâs the group captain?â
Qu Guoâan pressed firmly on Guoziâs shoulder, speaking earnestly, âGuozi, your group captain is inside discussing important matters, better you donât go in. You stand your post well here, and go back with the group captain later.â
Guozi leaned in, whispering, âPolitical Commissar, did someone important die?â
Qu Guoâan gave a bitter smile and met Guoziâs burning eyes of curiosity, heaved a long sigh, and patted his shoulder firmly again, saying nothing, and walked away.
Guozi watched the Political Commissarâs retreating figure with curiosity.
âLast time, when the Political Commissar laughed like that, it seemed to be when that lady from Capital City made a scene. Could it be that someone from a distinguished family died here in our Capital City C this time?â
If that was the case, trouble had truly come; the two âancestorsâ had yet to be sent off, and now another mess would surely wear the group captain out.
Sometimes, indeed, ignorance can be bliss.
Inside the morgue.
After briefly explaining the events leading up to the incident to Tang Zelin, Du Liang also frankly expressed his hope that Tang Zelin could offer his assistance.
Tang Zelin coolly said, âIf the other two truly appear in our district, itâs my duty, thereâs no question of assistance or not. But speaking of assistance, I do hope for such extremely dangerous matters, you wonât bring disaster to this place. Many officers and soldiers have sacrificed for the peace people enjoy these days.â
Du Liangâs face showed some embarrassment. He could rebut Yao Keâs accusations, but he indeed felt a bit at fault regarding Tang Zelinâs attitude.
If what Yao Ke said was true, he couldnât be entirely sure if the other two Alien Humanoids had already entered Capital City C. He was unfamiliar with the local military strength and capabilities. Although not guarding the Northern Desert border, the alertness and reflexes of the soldiers who were stationed in border areas for years are the best.
If there was a more suitable place, Du Liang still felt that luring them out here was most appropriate.
Yao Ke hadnât known about the domestic operation; he only learned the news before leaving the military district, that a smuggling vehicle had crossed the border and reached the interior, carrying three kidnapped Alien Humanoids.
The mission for their âFierce Tigersâ, before assembling with other Special Combat Teams, was to capture these three successfully.
Regrettably⊠their strength had exceeded their expectations, and the mission had failed.
Tang Zelin picked up a white cloth and covered the body, âI just hope your plan works, otherwise, it could lead to chaos.â
