C14 Find the Eyes in the Shadows

"All of you are f*cking good-for-nothings!"

In the municipal hall of the Bear City, the leader of the D organization, Putray Ryan, slammed the recent report on the ground and cursed at the military executive officer in front of him.

"How can you do this? It has been half a month, and you still haven't found the entrance to the Rat's Lair! Is it so hard to catch these scumbags? Ah?"

"Boss... You can't blame us for this..." The military executive officer looked troubled. "The information given by the intelligence department was wrong. It misdirected the direction of our main force... That's why the search time was delayed..."

"Don't blame us for this!" The leader roared. "Then what about the fifth water station this morning? How can we explain it? Not only did we lose so many precious water resources, but we also lost a team leader! You only found the corpse half an hour after he died! Is your head sandwiched by a door?"

"This... I..." The military executive officer was speechless.

"If every one of my subordinates is like you, when will our utopia be realized? When will people be able to live in their dreams?"

The military executive officer did not dare to speak.

"If the next time you screw up again, I'll send you and your entire family to the military recycling station! I'll revoke your qualifications to be reborn! Now! Get lost!"

The military executive nodded and scrambled out of the office.

"... These trash!" The leader spat on the ground and continued to deal with the documents in front of him.

...

Moorer and the others had now circled to the other side of the city. According to Ashes, there was a gun shop and a gas station here.

Gun shop! This thing finally piqued the interest of Payson. Although the military lasergun might not be available, there were still civilian lasers and miniature assault rifles.

However, this place did not seem to be deserted. Moorer could see the Kirov Airship floating in the distant sky, and the high-rise buildings in the area a thousand meters away seemed to have been cleaned up. There should be people living inside.

However, the current Payson did not seem to have the mind to care about these things. His eyes were fixed on the gun shop not far away, waiting for the approval of Moorer and the others.

Moorer looked at the ruins of the gun shop and nodded at Payson. He signaled Meow to follow him, but before Meow could prepare, Payson had already opened the door and rushed out.

"This kid is too passionate about weapons!"

...

About 200 meters away from the group, in a four-story building ruins, the female investigator from last time had already changed into a specially made ruins camouflage uniform. She was lying on the roof and observing the movements of Moorer and the others.

"Interesting... Very interesting..." The investigator muttered to herself. According to her observations over the past few days, this team was very familiar with the various resource sites around the city.

Especially the can factory. After the survivors left, she called the headquarters to organize a team to clean up the place. In the office, there were about sixty cans of various kinds of canned food. It was enough for a team to eat for a few days! She had also been promoted because of this.

According to the rules, she should have reported to the headquarters about the direction of the operation of the survivors and called for the headquarters to support them to arrest them. However, she did not do so. She was greedy. Now, she wanted to follow this team to find more resource sites. When they were almost drained of their value, she would call for the headquarters to arrest them.

However, she did not seem to know that the people in the opposing team were not simple either.

Now, she was using a large telescope to observe their situation. Of course, in order to save money, she bought a civilian telescope that was easy to reflect light.

She would regret it.

...

Moorer and Ashes were currently talking in the car. As they chatted with Ashes, Moorer also learned that people were using metal bottles and cigarettes as currency.

"Actually, in some situations, military bullets can also be used as currency, but this is usually when you are really broke," Ashes said as she lay in the passenger seat.

"Oh... Damn it..." Moorer laughed self-deprecatingly, "If I had known earlier, I would have kept the bottle cap and brought it back with me when I drank the Rich Household Happiness Water during those years. Maybe I would have become a millionaire now..."

"Ah... Right, can you tell me about your era? I want to know what this world used to be like."

"Ah... This is a very long history..."

Suddenly, in a building 200 meters in front of the two of them, a ray of sunlight was reflected by something, shining into their eyes.

The reflection of the light disappeared in an instant, but it did not escape the eyes of Moorer, who was a special agent, and Ashes, who was an assassin.

Moorer lowered his voice and said, "We are being watched..."

Ashes also said in a similar voice, "Yes... We are being watched..."

However, their expressions quickly returned to normal, and they started to talk and laugh.

But now, they started to communicate with their eyes.

"Let's talk about the movie first. What was the most popular apocalypse movie at that time?"

Moorer's eyes: "This won't do. We have to find him!"

"Baogushan Movies? The name sounds good. What is it about?"

Ashes' eyes: "Indeed, I will do this mission. I will quietly sneak over."

"I don't remember it either... It seems to be a film made by people from the Eastern Holy Land. It is a zombie film... In short, it's very interesting."

Moorer's eyes: "Don't go yet. Use the old trick, distract him, and then you can set off when Payson comes out."

"Ah... Zombie... Is there a mutated creature that's scary?"

Ashes eyes: "Alright, I'll go and pretend to search for supplies. I'll set off after Payson comes out."

...

In the female investigator's line of sight, Moorer and Ashes got out of the car while talking and laughing. Moorer pointed at the ruins of a pharmacy in front of them. Ashes nodded and then ran into the ruins of the pharmacy without making any sound.

The investigator's line of sight quickly caught up with Ashes, but at this time, Payson had just come out.

The female investigator's line of sight was pulled back. Logically speaking, she should have continued to stare at Ashes, but she was very confident in her concealment technique. Moreover, Payson, this handsome guy, really suited her taste.

However, in the dark, Ashes and Moorer made their move after confirming their positions.

Under the cover of the buildings and shadows, Ashes used only a few steps to reach the building where the investigator was.

"Oh... Look... What a handsome little brother... What a cute little thing..." The female investigator was still staring at them.

She did not know that Ashes had already been lying in ambush behind her.

The investigator only felt a cold blade on her neck, and then a cold voice came from behind her.

"I suggest that you put down your weapon and raise your hand to surrender. Otherwise, my sleeve sword won't blink."
