Chapter 9: Secret Service 9

When he met those eyes, Chu Cheng felt a chill in his heart.

"Oh no, I just passed by, why are you staring at me? Don't you think I'm too normal to be in the same boat as you?" Chu Cheng thought to himself.

Chu Cheng didn't dare to look any further. He turned his head and wanted to run away quickly, but he found that the escape route had been blocked at some point. A student had already stopped behind him, inadvertently blocking his way with their body.

Just when he thought things might be getting worse, a black van drove up suddenly. The car body drifted beautifully to the sidewalk, and the door was roughly pulled open along the slide rail.

Two black windbreakers jumped out of the car. One of them was a woman who impresses people at a glance. It can be called a one-in-a-million peerless figure, with legs from the neck down. Just the action of jumping out of the car caused an uproar. She belonged to the type that would attract enough attention just by appearing on the street.

And the other...a bald, fierce-looking man with a cigarette in his mouth.

"It's quite a commotion this time, and it's still broad daylight," the bald man exhaled a smoke ring, "It won't be easy to cover it up this time, will it?"

"That's not something we have to think about," the long-legged woman shrugged. She took a step forward and pulled out a hard black stick from the sheath tied around her fair thigh.

She flicked the switch, and the tip of the stick jumped out in a silky blue arc.

A stun prod.

Fortunately for Chu Cheng, with the appearance of these two people, those who had been staring at him seemed to suddenly lose interest in him, and their eyes fell on the newcomers.

Among them, the pair of seafood and steel wool merchants who had pushed their way to the front of the crowd were particularly conspicuous. Both of them were covered with scars in many places, the boy's face was scratched and bloodied, and the girl's once-pretty face was now bruised and purple, making it impossible to distinguish her gender just by looking at her face.

But none of them seemed to feel pain, and their devastated faces were distorted and full of anger.

"Not one good thing, not one good thing," the girl said.

The boy retorted, "Is it the same for you? You also want to laugh at me?"

"Die, die, all die!" she yelled.

With these two people taking the lead, everyone swarmed up.

The bald man threw away his cigarette **** and pulled out a similar electric shock baton. They rushed into the crowd, one on the left and one on the right.

Chu Cheng hurriedly took the opportunity to step aside.

At this point, Chu Cheng was filled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he wanted to stay and watch the chaos unfold, but on the other hand, he knew that safety was more important than satisfying his curiosity.

Just as he was about to make his escape, he heard a soft voice in his ear.

"Um, excuse me."

When Chu Cheng turned around, he saw a girl standing there. She had short hair, wore a white sleeveless top, and had a pure and lovely appearance. She appeared to have come from the black van, holding a small white tablet in her hand and her sharp black eyes focused on him.

It seemed likely that she was one of the companions of the two people who had exited the car earlier.

"Can you look here?" the girl asked, holding a strange device that reminded Chu Cheng of the handheld scanner used by cashiers at the store.

She pointed the device at Chu Cheng, glanced at the monitor on the machine, and then tilted her head to stare at him for a moment.

"Hmm? Strange, you're not infected at all," she remarked.

Meanwhile, the bald man and the long-legged woman continued their rampage through the crowd, wielding their electric batons with great ferocity. The crackling sound of electric arcs could be heard in the air as they sent the students falling to the ground one by one.

"Don't worry, this won't take much longer," the girl said politely to Chu Cheng. "It'll all be over soon."

Chu Cheng took one look at the situation and knew that she was right. While it wouldn't be accurate to describe the duo's electric baton attacks as completely random, it was clear that they were able to wade in and out of the chaos unscathed.

Before long, all of the abnormal students lay unconscious on the ground, having been incapacitated by the electric shocks.

After finishing their work, the two put away the electric batons and walked towards Chu Cheng.

"The Ninth Special Service Division of the Homeland Defense Bureau, Chen Meiyue," the woman said, showing her ID which had a silver badge on it.

"Luo Yajun, Ninth Secret Service," the bald man also flashed his ID before immediately taking out a new cigarette and lighting it again. "It's hard to breathe without this thing."

Hearing the introductions, the girl holding the tablet also introduced herself, "Tang Li."

"Don't be nervous, little brother," Chen Meiyue smiled gently. "It's over."

If it were a normal situation, Chu Cheng might have corrected her. The "little brother" might indeed be a younger brother, but he might not be so young. However, today, he was not in the mood.

At this point, the spread of the matter should have been inevitable. Although no one dared to get close during the chaos, teachers and students inside and outside the teaching building were watching the situation from a distance, and some were taking out their mobile phones to take videos.

Tang Li walked up to the two of them and said, "His infection level is below 1%, so he is not infected."

"Oh?" Both of them were surprised to hear this.

"This young man is not bad." Luo Yajun patted Chu Cheng's shoulder with his rough hand. "In this case, he was not infected at all."

"What do you mean by infection?" Chu Cheng glanced at the classmates lying on the ground next to him. "What happened to them?"

"It cannot be said," Luo Yajun replied. "According to regulations, we have no right to disclose this to the general public."

Chu Cheng looked at the people lying around, the teachers and students watching from a distance, and wondered how they could cover this up. Would they use large-scale hypnosis by summoning Wangchuan?

As if understanding what he was thinking, Luo Yajun shrugged helplessly.

"If we can't keep things secret, we can't control them. In short, we can't disclose anything according to the rules and regulations. In the end, we are just humble cleaners.

But the infection level of these students in your school is not high, the circumstances are relatively minor. It's just a small-scale mild infection incident, it's not a big deal, and they will be fine."

Thinking of the chaotic scene he witnessed just now, Chu Cheng couldn't help but think, "Is this considered minor?" What would be considered serious then?

He then remembered what he saw in the game last night, the inhuman act of a man cutting off his own head with a knife...

Well, it seems that he may have underestimated the severity of the situation.

At the request of the two, Chu Cheng recounted what he saw in detail as the only eyewitness at the scene who remained sober. The girl named Tang Li carefully recorded the whole process on the tablet with a sensor pen.

While talking, another car soon arrived at the scene. A team of soldiers in black uniforms jumped out of the car, pulled up a cordon, and began to clean up the area.

"Okay, that's about all I have to ask. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Tang Li carefully put away her pen, "One last thing, I might trouble you to undergo a physical examination today."

"Don't worry too much, you passed the scan just now so there should be no problem. The physical exam is just a precaution. You can go to the central hospital anytime today, and they will arrange a full set of examinations for you with the document number, free of charge."

In fact, when it came to the physical examination, Chu Cheng refused from the bottom of his heart, and he was not fond of the physical examination of young people rushing to the country in the new era.

Chu Cheng still remembered that what he hated most when he was a child was blood drawing and eyesight tests. Thinking back to when he was ignorant and naive, he insisted on memorizing the entire vision chart in the spirit of human beings who were full and idle, and deceived himself into thinking that this wave of vision would take off directly. But he did not expect the doctor to take out a glass stick, and he could not see the stick clearly...

Although he didn't know what the infection meant by these people, he still had lingering fears when he thought of the appearance of those students just now. So he felt relieved to undergo a full-body examination.

This may be the most comprehensive medical examination he has ever received in his life. He didn't even have time to eat lunch, and after taking a car to the hospital to undergo a complete medical examination process, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating dinner outside, it was almost five o'clock when he got home.

The first thing Chu Cheng did after returning home was to turn on the computer and log in to "Avengers VS Justice League: A New Era" again.

When the game started and the confrontational "A" and "JL" marks appeared on the screen again, he finally felt his tense nerves relax a little.
