Chapter 269 Cold
Aurora City.
courtyard.
Chu Muyun glanced at the time on his pocket watch, then gently closed the metal cover with a crisp "ding" sound.
"It's been almost six hours...still no movement?" Chu Muyun murmured to himself, "It seems that the operation was not as smooth as expected."
"Action? What action?"
A lazy voice came from the roof. Chu Muyun raised his eyebrows and looked up.
He sighed helplessly, "Do you have to be on the roof every time you appear?"
"The view from the roof is good. If there is an enemy approaching, you can know it immediately." Bai Ye shrugged, and a pair of silver snake-shaped earrings swayed gently, "This is the basic quality of our stealing gods, you won't understand. ”
"Are you done with the Fire Usurper's affairs?"
"I'm done." Bai Ye lay on the roof and said a little tiredly, "running back and forth between the two realms, maybe this is the price of dual identities..."
"Then why don't you just leave the Fire Usurper?"
"That was my original plan, but the Red King said that I could obtain first-line intelligence by staying in the Fire Usurper. This identity is very valuable... He wouldn't let me leave." Bai Ye seemed to have remembered something and muttered, " It’s time for the Red King to give me a raise, being a spy is too tiring.”
Chu Muyun:...
"By the way, what is the mission you just mentioned?"
"While you were away, there was a new member. Now he is going to the Aurora Base with the 6 of Hearts."
"Aurora Base?" Bai Ye said in surprise, "Even I can't enter that place. Are they okay with the two newcomers?"
"How should I put it...the two of them were born to sneak into the Aurora Base. They are the only ones in the entire Twilight Society who can sneak in."
"I can understand the 6 of Hearts. He is very good at infiltration and lurking... Is that newcomer also playing the divine way?"
"...No, you will know when you see it."
Seeing this, Bai Ye didn't bother to ask any more questions. Instead, he lay quietly on the roof and yawned lazily, as if he was ready to take a nap.
His eyes, which were about to close, suddenly seemed to notice something and opened them again!
He stared at the aurora flowing endlessly above his head, his brows frowning more and more...
"Did I see it wrong?"
"What?"
"Just now, the aurora seemed to be shaking..."
Chu Muyun was stunned, and immediately looked up to the sky. The aurora was still flowing quietly in the sky, like a gorgeous cloth fluttering in the wind, covering the entire Aurora City.
"It seems a lot lighter than before?" Chu Muyun also noticed something was wrong. In the past few days, he had been paying attention to the changes in Aurora, because to a certain extent, it could reflect the state of Lord Aurora... But Chu Muyun I haven't looked at the clouds for more than an hour, and the color and thickness are obviously thinner than before.
"Those two newcomers... probably didn't do anything serious in the Aurora base, right?"
Bai Ye looked at Chu Muyun suspiciously.
The figures of Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng appeared in Chu Muyun's mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "It's hard to say."
"When I returned to the Aurora Realm, I took a walk outside. The water in the Forbidden Sea had almost spread to the outside of the city. Except for the tracks of the realm train, other places were almost frozen by the cold air. There was really no time left for Aurora City. Running out."
"It is indeed unusually cold in Aurora City this year." Chu Muyun rubbed his hands gently, "It is clear that summer has just passed, but the temperature has already reached winter..."
"You're so rich, why don't you turn on the heating?"
"I'm on."
Bai Ye glanced at him and threw a stone to the ground. The stone fell on the frost-covered ground and slid several meters away in an instant.
"You call this open?"
Chu Muyun was stunned. He looked at the frost that had covered the ground for some time and murmured to himself:
"It's impossible...Aurora City has centralized heating. Generally speaking, the heating will not be turned off at will..."
Chu Muyun seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw many residents wrapped in thick clothes, shrinking their necks and complaining outside:
"What's going on? Why is the heating gone??"
"Yeah... In this cold weather, wouldn't it be fatal to have no heating?"
"That's not right. I see the smoke is burning in the boiler factory. Why don't we feel warm at all?"
"Is the pipe broken?"
"I just came back from the west side of the city. There is no heating there. Even if one or two pipes are broken, it shouldn't affect the entire Aurora City, right?"
"Ouch... please turn back the heating quickly. No heating today will be fatal."
"I'm going to buy some coal first and burn it myself. The child is freezing in the house..."
"Hey, wait for me, I'll buy some too..."
"..."
When Chu Muyun saw this scene, his face darkened.
He retreated into the house and closed the door with his backhand, his brows looking solemn as never before.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ye asked confused.
"Oops……"
Chu Muyun raised his head and looked at the sky, "Why at this time??"
…
"Chen Xin, did you notice anything unusual?"
"I don't have it here at the moment."
"Don't let your guard down, be careful as there may be people hiding in blind spots."
"yes."
Chen Ling, wearing a law enforcement officer's windbreaker, searched carefully on the third floor. He searched room after room. After glancing at the opposite room from the corner of his eye, he pushed open the door.
In the room, there were neat rows of beds, but most of them were empty of people. There was only a figure with his hands stretched out above his head, squatting blankly on the bedside, like a strange mushroom.
Seeing Chen Ling come in, Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up and he lowered his voice and asked:
"How's it going? Did you succeed?"
"Succeeded."
Jian Changsheng finally felt relieved after hearing these three words, "Then how should we get out?"
"The security is too tight now and we can't find a suitable opportunity." Chen Ling shook her head.
"But if we keep dragging it on like this, sooner or later we will be exposed." Jian Changsheng pointed to the restraint straps beside the bed, "My straps have been broken. After a while, the white coat pushed me to do experiments again. I can't explain it." …”
"Aren't you a mushroom? Do mushrooms need an explanation?"
"..."
While the two were talking, several people in white coats slowly walked out of Laboratory No. 1, pushing a hospital bed.
"What are you doing?" a law enforcement officer who was searching asked warily.
"Go and deal with the experimental subject that failed the experiment just now. There are too many pharmaceuticals in his body. After decay, the germs will spread. It must be sent to the surface for incineration as soon as possible." A man in a white coat answered.
The law enforcement officer's expression changed slightly. He lifted up the white sheets on the hospital bed and glanced at them. He almost vomited on the spot, and immediately waved to them:
"go Go……"
As the figures in white coats gradually disappeared, Chen Ling's eyes lit up slightly behind the door.
He turned to look at Jian Changsheng, "I have an idea..."
