47 Locking on the target
From a humanâs point of view, old man sun Defeng was actually dead. Now, he was just a walking corpse without self-consciousness, a host of brain-eating insects!
...
However, from a biological point of view, he was not completely dead, because his body still had vital signs and could still metabolize.
From the point of view of the order Committee and the law of this era, he was indeed dead. He was a special case of death caused by parasitism by space-invading creatures, which could be treated as a living corpse of a brain-eating insect host.
It was just that the people in the small town didnât know that sun Defeng was dead.
Every morning, Xia ping âan would watch The Living Corpse leave his courtyard and go to the garden in the middle of the street in the town to exercise with the elderly in the town. He would follow behind the aunties who were square dancing and move his hands and legs to move his body.
It was a horrifying feeling to see a living corpse dancing in the square while exercising among the crowd. However, the other people around sun Defeng didnât notice his abnormality.
The seemingly peaceful city was not short of such eye-popping supernatural events.
All the actions of The Living Corpse were not autonomous, but remotely controlled by the brain-eating insect.
Since sun Defeng lived alone, the Special Operations Divisionâs analysis concluded that the Demonâs Eye member who had fused with the brain-eating insect wouldnât take the initiative to come into contact with sun Defengâs residence. It would be too eye-catching.
The most likely possibility was that the member of the Demonâs Eye would control the time when sun Defeng went out and find an opportunity to contact him in public.
In this way, he could find the main body of the brain-eating insect according to the pattern of sun Defengâs outdoor activities.
The interval between the brain-eating insectâs main body and its host body could not exceed nine days, and each close contact should be at least five minutes, and there must be obvious physical contact.
Sun Defengâs life was very regular. He went to exercise every morning, went to the suburban park every three days, and went to the supermarket in the city every four days. He spent most of his time in the town.
Speaking of the suburban park, according to the information obtained by the Special Operations Division, one of the missing people who were dismembered and sacrificed in the cold storage warehouse had disappeared near the suburban park. The traces of activity of the two coincided.
After watching for two days, Xia Pingan discovered that the zombie controlled by the brain-eating insect would always use a small bottle of ether and a handkerchief to kidnap people when they were unprepared.
Not many people would be on guard against an old man taking a walk in a suburban park. However, this old man was a living corpse controlled by a brain-eating insect. It was very normal for the host to actively search for food and sacrificial items.
This speculation was shocking, but it was close to the truth.
After eliminating the suspicions of the old ladies and elders who worked out and square-danced with sun Defeng in the town, the focus of the surveillance on sun Defeng was on his trips to the suburban park every three days and the supermarket in the city every four days.
In sun Defengâs two trips out, anyone who had been in contact with him for more than five minutes and had obvious physical contact with him would be the main target of the investigation.
Because of Xia ping âanâs long-distance vision ability, the heavy responsibility of monitoring sun Defeng when he went out fell on Xia pingâ an.
Xia ping âanâs surveillance of sun Defeng did not require anyone to follow him. He only needed to be a few hundred meters away and keep an eye on him with his long-distance vision ability.
Xia ping âan watched sun Defeng for four days. She watched him go to the small town to exercise four times in the morning, play mahjong and drink tea three times, and go to the suburban park once. During this period, sun Defeng came into contact with some people, but those people were not members of the Devilâs Eye.
On Wednesday, four days after sun Defeng went to the supermarket, he got on the bus to the supermarket.
Li Yunzhou drove a very ordinary SUV and followed behind the bus. Xia Pingan sat in li Yunzhouâs car and was not on the bus, but he was paying attention to every move on the bus.
Behind li Yunzhouâs car was a surveillance vehicle disguised as an urban freight bus that tu Poli, an Qing, and the others were in.
There werenât many people on the bus, but fortunately, no one on the bus wanted to have any long-term physical contact with an old man, so it wasnât difficult to monitor the bus.
After seven or eight bus stops, the bus finally entered the crowded downtown area of Xiang He.
Sun Defeng alighted here, and Xia Pingan also alighted behind him.
the host has gotten off the bus and is walking towards the supermarket. Iâm following behind the host, about 100 meters away. On the bus just now, I didnât find any target who had physical contact with the host, Yingluo, â Xia Pingan reported in a low voice as he shuttled through the crowd. He was keeping in touch with young master mo and the others at all times.
Near the back of Xia Pinganâs ear, there was a small piece of Bionic tape that was the same color as her skin. If one did not touch it with their hands, they would not be able to find it.
There was a small communication device on the Bionic Rubber cloth that could collect and transmit sound through the vibration of the skin. The communication device was connected to Xia ping âanâs mobile phone, and the signal was transmitted to the monitoring vehicle through the mobile phone. It was very convenient.
the supermarket is very crowded, and itâs in a public area in the city. We didnât find any close contact between the host and the members of Demonâs Eye a few days ago. Today is the fourth day weâve been monitoring the host. Itâs very important, so be careful. If the contact time between the host and The Living Corpse is eight days, weâre most likely to find the target today, â an Qingâs gentle voice came into his ear.
âI understand, Zhenzhen.â
Seeing that the old man had already come down the escalator in front of the supermarket, Xia Pingan ran through the crowd and ran to the straight escalator entrance on the other side. She went up the elevator and ended the call.
The supermarket was located in the downtown area, on the second floor of the shopping center. Even in broad daylight, there were still many people.
In such a place, an old man shopping would not attract any attention at all. At the same time, the difficulty of monitoring would also increase greatly.
Xia ping âan did not dare to relax. Even if she was not by the old manâs side, her long-distance vision kept a close eye on the old man.
The old man didnât enter the supermarket first. Instead, he went upstairs and walked around the shopping mall on the third floor.
This unusual behavior immediately caught Xia Pinganâs attention. Xia Pingan did not follow them into the mall on the third floor. Instead, she loitered around the cosmetics counter outside the mall, pretending to pick out cosmetics for her girlfriend.
the host has entered the shopping mall on the third floor, â Xia Pingan immediately reported. there are fewer people in the shopping mall on the third floor, so itâs easy to be discovered if you follow me. Iâm outside the shopping mall on the third floor. I think the hostâs behavior is a little abnormal. It seems like sheâs repeatedly confirming whether sheâs being followed, â Xia Pingan said.
be careful, donât get close. The hostâs movements are controlled by the host. This might be the host checking if sheâs being followed. The host might return to the supermarket again!
âUnderstood!â
Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the old man did not have any physical contact with anyone on the third floor of the mall. He took the escalator down from the third floor and entered the supermarket on the second floor.
Xia Pingan changed to another place on the third floor and did not follow them into the supermarket.
Li Yunzhou had already entered the supermarket one step ahead and was waiting to take over the surveillance. Xia Pingan was outside, monitoring with his long-distance vision ability.
The supermarket was a key area, so the two of them kept an eye on it together.
The old man bought some vegetables in the supermarket. Other than a little physical contact with the supermarketâs salesperson, there was no other abnormal behavior. The supermarketâs salesperson had stayed with the old man for less than three minutes, so they couldnât meet the contact conditions of the brain-eating insectâs host.
The old man left the place where the fresh vegetables were sold, then paid for the exit of the supermarket and left the supermarket. Everything was normal.
Xia ping âan was puzzled. Was the old manâs shopping trip today just a normal activity? However, the old manâs actions on the third floor were obviously a little unusual.
Just as the old man came out of the supermarket and Xia Pingan thought that he would leave, the old man walked around half a circle and came from the exit of the supermarket to the entrance of the shopping center by the side door. He stored the ingredients he bought in the storage cabinet and then walked towards the menâs bathroom on the second floor of the shopping center.
Bathroom? why didnât I think of that!
Xia Pingan immediately reacted, but he did not get excited. He only used his long-distance vision ability to follow the old man to the menâs bathroom.
There was a row of independent cubicles in the menâs bathroom. Xia Pingan watched as the old man entered the menâs bathroom and came to one of the cubicles. After closing the door, the old man knelt on the ground.
A hand quietly reached out from under the partition next to him!
The old man knelt on the ground, his body wriggling. He stuck out his tongue like a snake and gently licked the hand that was reaching out from the side.
People who didnât know the details would only think that it was some perverted behavior. They wouldnât think that this was the way the host body of the brain-eating insect came in contact with the main body.
This scene was too disgusting, too horrifying, and too painful to the eyes.
Xia Pingan, who saw this scene, was shocked. He was worried that he would be sensed, so he immediately shifted his view from the old man kneeling on the ground to the long glass in the bathroom. He used the distant â indirect view â to observe the situation in the bathroom through the mirror.
The â indirect perspective â of the long-distance vision ability was the least likely to be discovered.
About six or seven minutes later, the sound of flushing came from the cubicle next to the old man. The cubicle door opened, and a successful man in his 50s, dressed in a gray suit and blue shirt, walked out of the cubicle with a brown briefcase under his arm. He went to the sink, washed his hands, and looked at himself in the mirror.
There was nothing special about the man in the mirror, except that his gloomy eyes had a trace of Gao Qingshan.
Iâve finally locked you in!
Xia Pingan calmed down and immediately reported, â the Demonâs Eye member who has fused with the brain-eating insectâs body has been confirmed. He is walking out of the bathroom on the west side of the shopping center. He is a man wearing a gray suit and a blue shirt. He is holding a brown briefcase under his arm and is walking towards Elevator No. 4 of the shopping center.
âFound him, Yingluo!â Yan Moâs voice came from the headset.
weâve connected to the surveillance system in the shopping center. Weâve confirmed the target you mentioned, Yingluo, â an Qingâs voice came.
âŠâŠ
A few minutes later, the targeted member of Demonâs Eye drove out of the shopping centerâs parking lot in a car, not knowing that he had been locked on.
Outside, the Special Operations Division and a high-altitude drone had locked onto the manâs car. The public safety and road monitoring system of the entire Xianghe city had been mobilized by the order Committee to firmly lock the man down.
Xia ping âan also quietly handed over the mission target. From this moment on, the old manâs host, which had been exposed and posed a low threat, would be tracked and controlled by another quick response team of the order Committee. When Xia pingâ an and the others took the initiative to attack the brain-eating insects, they would eliminate them.
Xia ping âan met up with the other members of the Special Forces and held on tightly to the Demonâs Eye member who had fused with the brain-eating insectâs body.
That member of the demonic eye was a homicidal maniac who had a special ability.
Given the corpses in the freezer, it was definitely not the first time for this person to sacrifice Pi Xiu.
We canât let that Demonâs Eye member escape again!
