They did not go to the KTV, but Wang Xiaguang's mother called after a while. She seemed to have something urgent to attend to. Wang Xiaguang had no choice but to go back despite her reluctance.
Zhao Yali was still not back that night.
He turned on his computer, intending to play a game, but he sighed and turned it off.
He realized that he could not calm down to play games. It was as if there was a huge rock pressing on his heart. It was so heavy that he could not help but scream hysterically.
He scratched his head in frustration, walked to the living room, and started to practice boxing.
His close combat skill was only 4 points, which was just beginner level. However, when combined with his 12 points of Dexterity, his attacks were amazing.
With every movement, the air actually emitted a 'chi chi' sound. If an ordinary person were to be hit by this, they would probably end up with broken bones and serious injuries. If their vitals were hit, they might even die.
In the beginning, Luo Yuan's punches and kicks were filled with a violent aura. But gradually, he became engrossed in it. Every move gradually became more distinct and had a certain charm to it. The more he fought, the happier he became. The more he fought, the clearer his heart became.
"Beep! After hard work, you have gained a new understanding of hand-to-hand combat. Hand-to-hand combat + 1!"
Luo Yuan was completely immersed in the game, so he did not notice.
The fight lasted for almost an hour.
By the time he retracted his fist, there was already a pool of sweat on the floor. His clothes were also soaked, almost half a kilo of sweat could be squeezed out. He could feel the blood coursing through his body. It was warm and comfortable.
This was the first time he had practiced hand-to-hand combat for such a long time. He had not expected it to be so addictive. He shook his sweaty hair and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
The haze in his heart had been swept away.
He could not decide if the world was going to be chaotic. He could only decide for himself. As long as he was strong enough, he would not be able to defeat the giant snake from the day before.
Whether it was a primitive society or a modern society with a democratic legal system, the essence of society was the same. It was the survival of the fittest. The only difference was the degree of cruelty. In the past, he had studied hard so that he could become a Meat Eater, and it was still the same now.
The next morning, Luo Yuan had just finished his breakfast when Captain Chen called him to pick up the snakeskin and gave him the address. Luo Yuan immediately took a taxi to Gaotang Town.
Luo Yuan walked into a well-decorated teahouse and opened the door to a private room.
Captain Chen and Zhao Qiang were both there, drinking tea and chatting.
"Captain Chen, Brother Qiang, are you both here?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.
Both of them looked at Luo Yuan meaningfully without saying a word.
Luo Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He laughed dryly and said, "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me so strangely?"
Captain Chen coughed and stared at Luo Yuan with a serious look.
Luo Yuan was a little nervous. Could it be that he was involved in a case? It seemed like Wang Fei was the only one who had a conflict with him recently. Could it be that Wang Fei was dead, but it was quickly overturned? If that was the case, they probably wouldn't be meeting at this teahouse. Instead, they would be meeting the police at their doorstep. His brain worked quickly, and in the end, he decided to ask directly, "Did something happen?"
Captain Chen tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said slowly, "Nothing happened, but there's something I want to ask you. Can you tell me the truth? What's your relationship with Chen Weiqiang? The results of my investigation don't seem to be what you said. "
"You should know our attitude. Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist."
"Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Go home for the New Year!" Luo Yuan complained in his heart.
Luo Yuan knew that he couldn't keep it a secret for long. He smiled and said, "I call his girlfriend sister, so it's not a big deal to call Chen Weiqiang brother-in-law, right? Wasn't it an emergency? Is it wrong to be enthusiastic? "
"Of course it's nothing. But you seem to be a little too enthusiastic. This doesn't make sense, right? "Zhao Qiang chuckled, a fake smile on his face.
"I've been a police officer for a long time. Are you always able to see the dark side of people? Are you suspicious of people with good intentions? Is this an occupational disease? "Luo Yuan retorted, not falling for it.
"Enthusiastic? I don't think so! You must have a crush on his girlfriend. Otherwise, why would you be so enthusiastic? I heard that they're even living together! "Zhao Qiang said with a face full of gossip.
He had met the victim's family the day before, and the one who had left the deepest impression on him was Luo Yuan's so-called sister. When he had asked about it, he had found out that it wasn't Luo Yuan's sister, but Luo Yuan's roommate. He knew that there was something fishy going on, so he discussed it with Captain Chen.
"Am I that kind of person?" Luo Yuan was speechless. Although he liked Zhao Yali, he didn't think he would do something like that. He would never try to poach someone else.
"Alright, stop joking around. Let's get down to business." Captain Chen couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said, "Xiao Luo, there's an opportunity now. Are you interested in becoming a police officer? An official one, not a joint defense team. "
"Don't you have to take the civil service exam to become a police officer?" Luo Yuan asked doubtfully.
"That was in the past. After the incident with the giant snake was reported to the city, they took it very seriously. Yesterday, they sent out an urgent document saying that the police are going to recruit more people.
Captain Chen thought highly of Luo Yuan's performance the day before. Of course, compared to that, he valued Luo Yuan's character more. Whether it was saving his life or risking his life for a stranger, Luo Yuan was a good person.
"What's going on? Has the situation gotten so bad?" Luo Yuan didn't agree right away.
"I won't hide it from you. You can imagine it anyway. The police force of all levels of government is severely lacking, especially in the villages. There are cases of people getting killed or missing every day. I've also received news that the town government has decided to burn down Mount Zhu once the police force is full, "Captain Chen said with a solemn expression.
In fact, not only was the police force expanding, but the town's armed forces were also expanding. All kinds of weapons were quickly standardized, and even a few grenade armored vehicles had been brought in. Of course, it was not easy to say this out loud, in case it spread and caused widespread panic.
Luo Yuan was hesitant. He had never thought of becoming a police officer. Besides, being a police officer now was much more risky than before. His life could be in danger at any time. But then again, if you don't face danger, it won't come to you. Now that the villages had become like this, it wouldn't be long before it spread to the cities.
"I need to think about it," Luo Yuan said after thinking for a long time.
"Think about it." Captain Chen nodded in understanding. After the incident the day before yesterday, in just two days, there were already three policemen who couldn't handle the pressure and took sick leave. Two of them even resigned. One of them was Wang Fei.
"Oh right, this is for you!" Captain Chen thought of something and took out a small bag wrapped in brown paper from under the table. He smiled and said, "You have good taste. When I got back to the station, I realized that I had lost a lot. Now the whole snakeskin has been made into bulletproof vests. There are eight of them, and the chief treasures them.
I argued with him for a long time before I snatched one more. It took dozens of needles to make four layers of snakeskin at the processing plant. It's much better than normal bulletproof vests, and it's very light. I'm a little reluctant to give it to you. "
"Ah, it's all done. That saved me a lot of effort." Luo Yuan was pleasantly surprised. He quickly grabbed it and realized that it was really light. It seemed to weigh less than half a catty.
He opened the bag and took out the snakeskin bulletproof vest. It was a vest with pieces of yellow and black snake scales on the surface. The scales had been fixed with superglue and had been polished and waxed. It was smooth and delicate to the touch, like a piece of art.
Of course, to Luo Yuan, the only drawback was that the material was a little hard. However, when he thought about the bulletproof vests that weighed a few kilograms and had iron plates inside, he felt that the bulletproof vest was very soft.
Luo Yuan secretly used his identification technique.
"Snakeskin Bulletproof Vest."
"Material: Snake Scales, Snakeskin."
"Rarity: Light Blue."
"Weight: 0. 2 Kilograms. "
"Defense: 14-18."
"Additional Effects: Pressure (Weak)."
"Equipment Requirements: None."
Evaluation: This is a good bulletproof suit. It can defend against some swords and bullets. Because it was taken from a mutated cauliflower snake, it has the effect of dispersing and scaring ordinary creatures, especially mice, frogs, and birds. Of course, it may also cause them to attack even more crazily!
"It's light blue equipment." Luo Yuan was delighted.
Generally speaking, most objects in the world were gray. White was rare. Only some highly sophisticated technological products would be light blue, blue, or even dark blue. For example, his Fruit phone was blue, while ordinary phones were light blue. The more complex the structure and the more advanced the technology, the darker the color.
It was undoubtedly much more difficult to get a high rating for an item with a simple structure and a single function like this one. Every one of them was the best of its kind.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Captain Chen smiled.
"Of course I'm satisfied. I don't know how to thank you. Although I still need to think about becoming a police officer, you can always ask for my help if you need any help in the future. " Luo Yuan was grinning from ear to ear. He quickly thanked Zhao Qiang. The bulletproof vest was like having a few more lives.
"Better not to?" Zhao Qiang laughed. "I don't want to run into that kind of thing again."
After chatting for a while, Luo Yuan said goodbye.
On his way back, Luo Yuan noticed that there were many harvesters on the road. He was confused at first, but soon realized that the government of Gaotang Town had decided to eradicate the weeds in the fields as a precaution. He just didn't know how effective such an action would be.
The government's proactive action had proven everything. Was the apocalypse really coming?
