Game Hunter - Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Locust Weirdo Reproduction
“Hey, how is he?”

“The situation isn’t very good. Come over and take a look!”

On the other end of the phone, hearing about Zuo Jie’s situation, Luo Fei rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Looking at Zuo Jie lying in the intensive care unit, Luo Fei’s emotions were mixed.

Luo Fei asked, “What did the doctor say?”

Tang Ran replied, “These three days are his critical period. If he can wake up, his life is guaranteed.”

“What if I don’t wake up?” Luo Fei asked.

“Then we’ll have to prepare for his future.” Ou Sheng said expressionlessly.

The sad atmosphere lingered in the hearts of Luo Fei and the others. Although Ou Sheng had told them from the moment they joined the army that they were ready to separate at any time, when their teammates were killed, if they didn’t give up, it would definitely be a lie!

Apart from being sad, Luo Fei also spoke of his discovery.

‘”We were desperately trying to keep the city stable outside, but we didn’t expect someone to stab us in the back and join Ou Sheng,” Game corpse mused. “What about the others? What did you find?”

Li Li and Tang Ran shook their heads.

Li Li sighed and said, “This time, the locust monster’s attack was too sudden. We haven’t found any evidence yet.”

“What about the loss report?” Ou Sheng asked.

“According to preliminary calculations, the amount of damage was around US $10 million. Another five adults were injured and 18 children were injured.”

Tang Ran’s report made Luo Fei unconsciously clench his fists, not even letting go of the children. This group of monsters really had no humanity.

When the sad atmosphere spread again, the content on the TV attracted Li Li and the others’ attention.

The media were rushing to report this unexpected incident. While telling the casualty reports, some even pointed the contradiction of this incident at the Sharp Wolf, believing that Ou Sheng and the others were incompetent and the guards were lax, which led to the grasshopper monster taking advantage of the situation.

“Ai-!” Luo Fei shook his head helplessly and complained, “These reporters run faster than anyone else!”

Luo Fei and the others looked at Ou Sheng in unison. The seventh district was their area of responsibility. Now that something like this had happened, Ou Sheng, as the captain of the rookie team, had to give the media and the citizens an explanation.

“I’m leaving first. Zuo Jie will inform me as soon as there is anything new!”

Although Ou Sheng looked cold and handsome on the surface, in reality, he was also feeling a headache. Not only should we cope with the media’s questions, but we should also cope with the reprimand of the higher-ups at the same time.

“It’s hard to be a captain these days. A captain is just someone who takes the blame!” Ou Sheng couldn’t help but complain.

Li Li looked at the report on TV and suddenly frowned involuntarily.

“This is?” Li Li asked doubtfully.

“What’s the matter?” Luo Fei asked.

“Luo Fei, accompany me to a place.”

Luo Fei looked at Li Li with a dumbfounded expression. Although he did not understand Li Li’s intentions, Luo Fei still followed Li Li out of trust.

To Luo Fei’s surprise, the place Li Li took him to was actually a news agency.

“Why did you bring me here?” Luo Fei asked in confusion.

“You’ll know in a moment.”

With Luo Fei, Li Li found the editor-in-chief of this news agency. Unfortunately, the editor-in-chief of this news agency was Yang Ren.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially jealous when they meet. When Luo Fei saw Yang Ren present, if it weren’t for Li Li’s face, Luo Fei would have already rushed up and beaten Yang Ren up.

Yang Ren was also surprised to see Luo Fei and Li Li arrive.

“What a rare guest. We just met yesterday. Why are you looking for me today, Li Li?” Yangren asked in shock.

Li Li said straightforwardly, “I’m here to see you. I just have one thing I want to ask of you.”

“Oh?” Yangren asked curiously, “What is it?”

“The video broadcast on the TV station was provided by you, right?”

“Yes!” Yangren replied without hesitation, “We work with TV stations. We are responsible for news and other sections.”

‘”Then who was the one who took the picture? Such a precise angle and a clear lens seemed to have been adjusted beforehand. Could it be that someone in your news agency had the ability to predict that Locust Weirdo was going to attack the hospital?”

Only then did Luo Fei react to Li Li’s words. As the saying goes, a wise man must have a mistake. Luo Fei had been troubled by Zuo Jie’s injuries and had forgotten to pay attention to the images on the TV.

Faced with Li Li’s questioning, Yangren was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and explained, “To tell you the truth, I was the one who shot that video. I was just here to record the changes in the streets when I was free, and happened to encounter Locust Weirdo attacking the hospital.”

“Is that really all?” Li Li asked.

“If you don’t believe me, you can do a lie detector test on me. Anyway, you’re soldiers. You still have a lie detector or something, right?”

Li Li smiled faintly. She only came to ask because she was puzzled, but there was no need for her to do so.

“Then can you delete the relevant reports about Locust Weirdo? Your news will be directed at us, which has brought us quite a bit of pressure!”

Yangren rejected Li Li’s suggestion without hesitation. Yangren sneered, “Sorry, I can’t do that. Our job as journalists is to expose the truth and make it public. As for what the public will think, that’s never in our minds.”

Li Li looked coldly and shook her head with a bitter smile, “You are still as stubborn as before. Since that’s the case, I have nothing to talk about with you.”

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Yangren hurriedly asked, “At least we are old friends that we haven’t seen for many years. Why don’t you stay and let me treat you to a meal?”

“No need. I’m busy with business, and I don’t have the mood to eat.”

After rejecting Yangren, Li Li left with Luo Fei. However, as soon as she left the news agency, Li Li said to Luo Fei, “Help me get close to Yangren. I want to know the real reason why he came to Shangxi City.”

“Oh?” Luo Fei asked curiously, “He is your old classmate. Is it appropriate for you to let me investigate him?”

“If he cares about me and him being classmates, he won’t hide anything from me.” Li Li said indifferently, “Even if he has nothing to do with this matter, for the sake of his life, it is better for ordinary people to have less contact with Game corpse.”

Luo Fei spread out his hands with an expression that he had no love for. Since Li Li had said so, he had no choice but to obey.

Due to the attack of the locust monster, the entire Seventh District was on alert. Only a day had passed, but the locust monster still hadn’t moved, and Tang Ran and the others hadn’t found anything yet.

At the same time, Zuo Jie’s situation was still not optimistic. Zuo Jie was still unconscious, and there wasn’t much time left for him.

Depressed, Luo Fei returned to the Welfare Institute. This was the place where Luo Fei grew up, and also the only place where Luo Fei felt at home.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Luo Fei hesitated. Whether to enter or not made it difficult for him to decide. However, just at this moment, Dean Qin Ze discovered the existence of Luo Fei.

Luo Fei, who was somewhat disappointed in himself, told Director Qin Ze about the cause and effect of the incident. Only then did the Director understand that Luo Fei had blamed his teammates for their injuries.

“If I had discovered Luo Fei earlier or dealt with it earlier, Zorge might not be lying in the hospital now,” said Game corpse melancholy.

“So it’s like this!” Dean Qin Ze suddenly realized, “There are some things that we should try our best to do. There is no need to push too hard for the results.”

“It’s just that every time I think of Zuo Jie lying in bed, I feel uneasy.” Luo Fei said in a heavy tone.

“You’re still like before. Although you look like you’re just playing around on the surface, in reality, you care more about your friends than anyone else.” Qin Ze smiled and said, “I can’t help you with military problems. This is not my specialty. The only thing I can do is to open up the doubts in your heart.”

“That’s why I’m here. Perhaps you can answer some of my questions.”

Looking into the distance, Qin Ze sighed and said, “I need to tell you that you can’t walk out of the past if you are immersed in regret. You will only suffer torment and torture in your heart. Those who live in the past are easily bound by the past and lose themselves. You must remember this.”

Luo Fei nodded slightly and said, “I will remember.”

“When you were sent to the Welfare Institute because of amnesia, it took me a lot of effort to persuade you to accept your new self. Now, you have to start learning to persuade yourself. Since this has already happened, you must learn to accept it.”

Listening to Qin Ze’s instruction, Luo Fei nodded silently.

“By the way, it’s rare for you to come here. Why don’t you stay here tonight? This will always be your home and your sanctuary.”

Dean Qin Ze’s words were like a warm current, causing Luo Fei’s nose to turn slightly sour. Just as Luo Fei was immersed in his emotions, a scream woke Qin Ze and Luo Fei up.

Following his voice, Luo Fei was surprised to find that Locust Weirdo was standing on the roof at this moment.

Seeing Locust Weirdo appear, Luo Fei could not help but clench his fists.

“Luo Fei-!”

Head’s voice pulled Luo Fei back from his hatred. Only then did Luo Fei realize what his duty was.

Luo Fei protected the frightened children behind him and comforted them, “It’s fine. With brother here, you don’t have to be afraid.”

Looking around, regardless of whether it was the doors, windows, or walls, they were all packed with Locust Weirdo. Locust Weirdo relied on his avatar’s ability to surround the entire Welfare Institute.

Luo Fei’s expression became even heavier. This was Welfare Institute, so he couldn’t act rashly. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would implicate the children here. With Luo Fei’s strength, even if he couldn’t deal with the game corpses, Luo Fei could still do it if he wanted to leave. However, how could Luo Fei abandon Welfare Institute’s group of children?

Luo Fei had already pressed the emergency call switch, but the Welfare Institute was built in a remote area. Even if Tang Ran and the others rushed over without stopping, it would still take a little time. Right now, Luo Fei and the others could only rely on themselves.

Luo Fei was caught in a dilemma between saving people and dealing with game corpses. If he accidentally caused the accident at the gas station last time, Luo Fei would be a sinner for the ages.

“Remember, Luo Fei, people who are immersed in the past will never have a future. It’s not your fault for what happened to Zooey. Get rid of this heavy burden and do what you think is right!”

Qin Ze Head’s words were like a shot in the arm, calming Luo Fei’s impatient heart.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but mock himself, “Right, what am I thinking? Being cowardly is not my style of doing things. I am an all-round player, there is nothing I can’t do!”

Once upon a time, the confident and omnipotent Luo Fei had returned. He looked at Locust Weirdo and sneered, “Come, clear the game!”
