"What about the pregnant woman and the doctor?" Xu Qing looked at Su Bai. At this moment, Su Bai was sitting on the stairs with the baby in his arms. It had been almost half an hour since the baby was born. The aura of the conjoined twins was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed like it would be a miracle if they could survive the night, let alone tomorrow night. As for whether they could survive until the end of the mission, Su Bai did not have the confidence to do so. In fact, he had no confidence at all.
This posed the same problem to Su Bai and Xu Qing. Previously, they were worried that the pregnant woman would not be able to give birth before the end of the mission. In the end, in order to not give themselves any time to react, they decided to bring forward the C-section. However, after the baby was born, their original worry did not change at all. The only difference was that the baby was born in a different form, but the essence was still the same.
That was, whether the baby would be able to survive until tomorrow night, and whether the two of them could complete the mission and obtain the tickets to board Noah's ark.
Previously, they were worried that the pregnant woman would not be able to give birth before the deadline. Now, they were worried that the baby would die before the deadline.
"I'm asking you," Xu Qing said again.
Su Bai shook his head. "Just leave them here. Ask the doctor to send the pregnant woman back to the city. Although the end of the world is coming, at least they can have one last chance to see their loved ones."
"You actually have the heart of a Bodhisattva after stealing someone else's child," Xu Qing teased.
"You're very annoying," Su Bai said seriously. "Really annoying."
"You..." Xu Qing smiled. "Are you blaming me?"
"Don't be annoying." Su Bai said faintly and then continued to look at the conjoined twins. He then shook his head. "Unless there are some heavenly materials and earthly treasures around her and a person with high medical skills, it'll be very difficult for this child to survive tonight."
"Isn't this just right? We have the time to make one last attempt."
"What if she comes out of the mother's body a day later?" Su Bai asked.
"You also agreed to the C-section just now."
"I'm not trying to push the blame on you. This is our team's mistake, and there's only me and you in the team, so maybe the way I speak has caused you to misunderstand."
"Then what do you think we should do next?"
"You think of a way to extend the child's life. I'll go look for her outside," Su Bai said as he handed the child over to Xu Qing.
"I think it's more suitable for me to go." Xu Qing reminded. She was an assassin, and if she discovered a squad with an infant, it would be better for her to steal it from them.
"The problem is that we don't know where the other teams are and which teams already have babies. In comparison, stealing can be considered a simple task. Finding those people is the real skill. And you, your brain has never been smart enough."
"Hehe, can you not be so direct?"
Su Bai raised his head and pointed to the moon, which had already appeared in the night sky. "Time is limited, so I can't be tactful now."
"Why do I feel like there's going to be internal strife in our team?
"Let's wait until we get on the ship before we fight amongst ourselves. If we can't get on the ship, then there's no point."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the two conjoined twins. "Take good care of them as much as possible. If a miracle of life really happens and they die prematurely, inform me by phone."
Xu Qing nodded. "I know."
Su Bai did not say anything more. He directly turned around, walked into the periphery of the farm, and disappeared into the vast grass.
Night fell. In the countryside, the night should be quiet. But in the city, the night also had its own life.
When the progress of technology and social productivity separated many people from the daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the night seemed to have lost the peace that had been given to it for thousands of years.
When the advancement of technology and social productivity separated many people from the daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the night seemed to have lost the peace that had been given to it for thousands of years.
The street of food stalls was densely populated. Whether it was the owners of the stalls or the customers who came to eat supper and drink, there were many of them. The whole street was bustling and very lively, even though it was already one o 'clock in the morning.
A man in a coat stood in front of a barbecue stall and ordered a lot of barbecue skewers. After instructing the boss to pack them up, he sat at a table and waited. The man was holding a can of milk powder in his hand.
About 15 minutes later, all the skewers were barbecued. The boss distributed the skewers to a few plastic bags. The man paid the bill, stood up, and walked back with the full skewers.
Little did he know that behind him, there was a man in a worker's outfit with oil stains on his body. He was holding a bottle of white wine and was following the man.
The man in front walked into the alley, and the man who pretended to be a drunkard followed him. After a while, the man in front turned into an alley. The man who pretended to be a drunkard continued to walk forward. A dark shadow appeared behind the man and twisted his neck. With a twist, the sound of bones breaking was heard. The man who pretended to be a drunkard fell directly to the ground. His head was tilted at an exaggerated angle.
"So relaxed. He doesn't look like a listener." The man carrying the can of milk powder walked out again. He squatted down and began to search the man in the worker's outfit. "A wrench, an old-fashioned watch, and a pay slip. He should be a native."
"Just to be safe." The dark shadow immediately turned and left. "You should go back early. It's the last day. Being safe is the safest. Don't worry too much."
When the two people disappeared, the body of the man who pretended to be a drunkard on the ground began to twist. From the head position, it began to turn into moving blood. Then, the head reformed and changed its position.
Su Bai stood up. He held his forehead with one hand. At this moment, he felt carsick and nauseous. The body could turn into blood and reform. This was a new ability that Su Bai had recently obtained. It was also a kind of opportunity. However, Su Bai had not fully mastered it, or it could be said that he had not fully grasped some of the side effects.
In the end, Su Bai, who still could not adapt to it, simply sat on the ground. About half an hour later, Su Bai finally regained consciousness. The dizziness in his mind finally disappeared.
Standing up, Su Bai wiped the sweat on his face with his clothes. He then identified the direction of the person who tried to kill him and walked in.
The deeper he went, the deeper the alley became. Su Bai also became more and more cautious.
In fact, even Su Bai himself did not expect that he would be able to find clues in less than a few hours after entering the city. The man was knocking on the doors of the closed shops all over the street, anxiously asking if there was milk powder. He made a lot of noise and looked very anxious.
In front of him, there was a row of shantytowns in front of an old apartment building. Many of these shantytowns were illegal buildings owned by the residents on the ground floor. Basically, they were used to rent out migrant workers.
Not far in front of Su Bai, a shed was brightly lit at this time. Some people were chatting loudly, and some were drinking and toasting. It was very lively. They must have brought back the barbecue skewers and started to eat.
However, Su Bai, who was standing behind the telephone pole, was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he continued to stand in the same place.
His head still hurt a little, but it was not because of his broken neck. It was because of the things in front of him. Su Bai was a little uncertain.
"That's not right." Su Bai shook his head. "He anxiously shouted at the supermarket to open in the middle of the night to buy milk powder. After going through so much trouble to buy milk powder, he went to the night market to buy barbecue skewers?"
Su Bai muttered to himself. Then, he immediately retreated and did not choose to go in.
When Su Bai walked out of half of the old residential area, he suddenly thought of something. He returned to the place where he was attacked. If his memory was correct, after he was "killed," the person who killed him and the person who carried the milk can did not go the same way.
The two of them were walking in opposite directions.
Su Bai chose to explore in the opposite direction that he had followed before. In fact, this kind of search was not very effective. After all, the old-fashioned apartment buildings were like honeycomb coal. God knew how many families lived in them. Looking for a family without any clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, Su Bai did not know whether his guess was right or not.
However, as he walked, Su Bai suddenly smelled a slightly pungent smell. He squatted down and began to search. Sure enough, not far away, he saw half a skewer of barbecued chives.
The image of the man who carried a bag of barbecue skewers and threw them as he walked appeared in Su Bai's mind.
He continued to search.
In front of him, Su Bai found another bamboo stick. There were still oil stains on it that had not dried up. Even Su Bai himself felt that it was a little ridiculous. He actually followed four or five bamboo sticks and came to the bottom of a unit. As he walked up, he did not see any bamboo sticks for several floors. When he reached the fifth floor, Su Bai saw a bamboo stick outside the door.
Su Bai's hands were pressed against the door. His entire body turned into blood and seeped in through the crack of the door.
Only after entering did he realize that the door and the walls had all been treated with netting, which could minimize the noise.
Moreover, Su Bai also found a lot of things hanging on the wall. There were also many corpses nailed to them and they were also embalmed. However, these people seemed to have only died in the past few days.
Su Bai recondensed his body in the pitch-black living room. In the bedroom, two men's voices could be heard.
"Go to the living room to eat. I've finally coaxed the child to sleep. Don't be woken up by your smell again. I'm dying of exhaustion."
"Tsk, you have the nerve to say that. Why don't we change? You go outside and lure people over. I'll take care of the child? "
"Alright, it's almost over. Today, no one took the bait."
"Brother Sen said that we can lure another wave during the day tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day. Those teams without babies in their hands will not be able to sit still and will take the bait. Tonight, I'm probably unlucky. I didn't catch a single one."
"Anyway, we've had a good harvest these few days. We've caught nearly 10 listeners."
"Brother Sen and the others eat the meat, let's drink the soup. Anyway, we don't expect anything good to fall into our hands. The only reason we can enter this team is because we have the value of running errands and making fish hooks."
Su Bai, who was standing in the living room, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He was really glad that he did not rush into the shantytown with the lights on and the voices of the people,
Obviously …
That was a trap,
He had already killed 10 listeners,
This team was really f * cking talented. They actually relied on this method to get rich.
