After quickly resolving this parasitic organism, Lu Bai didn’t glance at it again and turned to walk in front of that woman.
He bent down, hands on his knees, with a kind smile on his face, and said, “Hello, my name is Lu Bai. Can you stand up?”
The woman blinked her eyes, staring at him in confusion, unable to connect the seemingly harmless boy in front of her with everything that had just happened.
She inexplicably felt that this gentle boy shouldn’t be running to such a secluded corner to hunt monsters; he should be wearing a white shirt and appearing in places like the library.
“I… actually I’m okay.”
The woman subconsciously spoke in a pinched voice, reaching out hoping the person in front of her would pull her up.
Lu Bai noticed the black-yellow sticky substance on her hand and silently stepped back half a step.
“Alright then, wait here for a bit.”
“Huh? Wait for what?”
In two or three minutes, a group of special service personnel wearing special service clothing arrived and took control of the scene.
“Who are you?” The woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Lu Bai gave her a smile: “Good guy.”
Xu Qiang followed behind the team, and when he saw the corpse of the parasitic organism on the ground, his expression gradually became helpless: “Brother Lu, I’ll call you bro, okay? Can you take my request a little more seriously?”
“When I arrived, the situation was already very urgent. Next time, I’ll definitely leave a live one for you.” Lu Bai casually brushed it off.
Xu Qiang tilted his head in frustration: “You said the same thing last time. The higher-ups have repeatedly emphasized capturing live specimens for research, but every time I hand over a pile of minced meat. Big Brother, I’m under a lot of pressure too.
You know as well as I do that these parasitic organisms are getting better and better at disguising themselves lately. We must find a better method to identify them.”
“Next time for sure.”
Lu Bai nodded seriously.
Speaking of which, it had been a full week since he joined the Special Affairs Bureau.
During this time, besides wandering around trying to find traces of death fighters, he spent the rest of his time basically handling incidents related to parasitic organisms.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know if it was because of the title on his head that caused nearby death fighters to deliberately avoid him, but in any case, during this period, he hadn’t even caught a shadow of a death fighter.
However, as the saying goes, if one side doesn’t shine, the other will.
With his extremely efficient performance in multiple actions, his status in the Jiangyu City Special Affairs Bureau had risen steadily, and he was on the verge of qualifying to lead a team independently.
Lu Bai waved at Xu Qiang: “Alright, call me if there’s anything. I’m going to the hospital to check on Yao Yi.”
“Sigh, let me have someone drive you.” Xu Qiang complained but wouldn’t make things difficult for him in a place like this. After all, Lu Bai’s performance over this period had been truly excellent, and he hadn’t casually beaten anyone like in his resume.
……
Sitting in the car heading back to the urban area, Lu Bai leaned against the seatback, eyes closed to rest.
The special service personnel acting as pilot had good eyesight and played soothing music for him.
Whether it had a sleep-aid effect or not, it at least helped relax one’s mood a bit.
But he didn’t relax for long.
A series of long-absent mechanical prompts suddenly rang in Lu Bai’s mind.
[Ding!]
[This deathmatch duel has been open for over a week. Beginning to announce the current positions of all death fighters.]
[The next position announcement will be in seven days.]
Lu Bai suddenly opened his eyes: “It’s finally here.”
“What did you say?” The pilot didn’t hear clearly.
“Nothing, I said don’t sleep too soundly. Big trouble is coming.”
After brushing it off casually, Lu Bai shifted his attention to the black-green screen that appeared on the data panel.
A waveform extending from the center of the screen rotated clockwise once, sweeping out dense light spots, like a radar detection map.
The positions of those light spots gave Lu Bai a clear picture.
All death fighters were almost within the scope of Jiangyu City, with a few scattered light spots in the surrounding districts and counties of Jiangyu City.
This meant he hadn’t deviated from the route. The reason he hadn’t caught a single death fighter was probably that these guys were hiding too well.
It might also be a disadvantage of wearing the title too early, allowing other death fighters to identify him from far away.
Lu Bai quickly detached from his annoyed emotion and began identifying the specific positions of these light spots.
On this point, he actually had an advantage.
Most death fighters, to hide themselves, would live according to the identity they were randomly assigned.
But don’t forget, it was late at night now.
The position announcement was so sudden that they probably couldn’t predict it in advance to respond.
At this time of night, most death fighters were undoubtedly staying obediently at home.
Lu Bai thoughtfully rubbed his chin.
Thanks to his official background, checking the residents of these places would be completely effortless.
The only thing that surprised him a bit was…
“There are actually two at the place where Yao Yi is hospitalized?”
……
Jiangyu City First People’s Hospital.
As a top-tier tertiary hospital, it naturally had an outdoor parking lot.
As soon as the vehicle stopped, Lu Bai got out immediately.
He stood in the parking lot looking around left and right, while firmly stating his request.
“Quickly pull up the surveillance footage from intersections near the hospital and send it directly to my mobile phone.”
“Oh oh… okay.” This special service personnel didn’t understand what was going on but agreed quickly.
Lu Bai nodded at him, then quickened his pace toward the hospital gate.
Frequently entering and exiting the hospital with a “pure smile,” the two death fighters hiding in the hospital should have noticed him long ago, barring any accidents.
The current situation was that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.
Lu Bai entered through the hospital gate and arrived at the registration hall, his deep brown eyes quickly scanning the rows of seats.
There weren’t many patients in the hall; nighttime emergency visits were still rare. The patients on IV drips were very quiet, and only the groans of a middle-aged man clutching his stomach could be heard.
Nothing abnormal in sight.
Not to mention that the system’s position map couldn’t pinpoint exactly which floor the death fighters were on, who could guarantee they stayed put after the position announcement?
Lu Bai thought for a moment and headed toward the monitoring room.
Checking one by one was too inefficient. Having worked hard for an official identity, it was time to use it.
……
In the monitoring room, both security guards were lounging with legs crossed playing on their mobile phones. When Lu Bai suddenly burst in, they were almost startled.
“Keep playing, I have business.”
Lu Bai didn’t waste words with these two workers, directly flashing his official identification and slapping it on the table, then proceeding to rewind the surveillance footage from several positions on his own.
The identification was naturally real.
The two security guards exchanged glances, unsure of his background, not daring to stop him, only hesitating whether to notify the security captain.
