48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1396: A Qualified Father

The appearance of the siege in February allowed the originally leaderless guardians to find their backbone. Everyone in the meeting room expressed their opinions and quickly decided on the next course of action.

Looking at the calm figure on the main seat, everyone was not as nervous as they were when they first heard the news. The Guardian organization was like a sophisticated and efficient instrument, operating smoothly once again, everyone knew what they needed to do next, so they immediately took action after the meeting ended.

However, the secretary-like woman did not leave like the others. When only she and February besieged city were left in the meeting room, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “I actually have a guess about Rox…”

“I know.”February besieged city did not look up. After the meeting ended, he took out his phone and looked at the wechat message his wife sent him an hour ago. “Rox is Simon’s father.”

“AH.”

“I actually had my suspicions for a long time. The main reason was that Simon went to Ireland during the holidays. Rox’s recent IP location was also in Ireland. After suspecting him, I found someone to check his resume. Because he was a researcher, he kept changing places with the project. The places he went to were not too far away from the IP location of Rox’s past,”February siege said, “Then I can basically confirm that he’s Rox.”

“As expected, nothing can be hidden from you,”the secretary-like woman said with admiration, “I only found out about Rox and Zhang Heng’s relationship after Rox stole three elite squads from US and sent me a secret message yesterday.”

The secretary-like woman asked, “Do we need to do anything to him?”

“Do what?”February siege asked, “I’ve said a long time ago that Rox is just a researcher. He created the Guardian himself. At that time, he probably had the intention to protect his son, but he had no idea how to run and maintain an organization. Before I took over the Guardian, it was just a place for a bunch of incompetent people to vent their anger. Rox was neither capable nor willing to control the Guardian.”

February paused for a moment, “However, I have to admit that he has a deep understanding of supernatural powers. If it weren’t for him, things like god-slaying bullets wouldn’t have appeared so quickly. Of course, over the years, we have provided him with a lot of help in his research. We will help him capture whichever god he wants and provide him with whatever materials he wants.

“Previously, I wanted to find him because I valued his research ability and hoped to completely absorb him into the guardian. But now it seems that he is not on the same side as us. He doesn’t care about the fate of humans at all. He is only doing it for his son. He is an extremely selfish person. However, he is a qualified father.”

February fortress shook his head, “He won’t help us deal with the Lord of Lalea. Even if he knows that his son is already dead, as long as that body is still his son’s, he won’t do anything.”

“What a pity,”the secretary-like woman said regretfully.

“It is a pity, but he has already given us all the research ideas for the god-slaying bullets. As long as we continue to level up, it will be fine. Humans may not be able to live forever, but they can continue to study and learn. This is our most powerful weapon. When this matter is over, it won’t be long before we can kill those gods,”February fortress said.

“I will always follow you until that day arrives,”the secretary-like woman said respectfully.

However, after she left, only er Yue Wei Cheng was left in the meeting room. He no longer had the posture of having everything under control. Er Yue Wei Cheng sat in the empty room with his brows tightly knitted, his originally straight back seemed to have become a little hunched.

Then, he picked up his phone on the table and opened the wechat message that his wife had sent him. It was a picture of his daughter sleeping soundly in bed. Er Yuecheng looked at it for another half a minute before he typed a reply.

— I have some business to discuss here. I’m going on a business trip for a period of time. I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.

Shen Xixi followed the smell of blood all the way. First, she came to the small hill. However, the cruel scene before her eyes made her lose her focus.

On the trees, on the ground, and on the rocks, everywhere she looked was filled with blood and minced meat. It was as if she had stepped into a slaughterhouse. There were no survivors left in the area covered by the red color, even the plants had withered and withered. The abnormality here had even affected the nearby areas.

On the way here, Shen Xixi and her group had seen animals behaving abnormally more than once. The Rabbits, who were originally afraid of humans, acted as if they did not see them. They spun around on the ground askew as if they were drunk, meanwhile, the two squirrels were fighting crazily. Their skin was bitten until it was a bloody mess. There was also a wild boar that was using its head to ram against the tree trunk in front of it, it was as if it had an irreconcilable feud with that tree.

“Oh my God!”The rabbit was so scared that its face turned pale. She had experienced many big scenes with Shen Xixi, but none of them had left a deep impression on her like this, previously, she had scoffed at the idea of a new apocalypse, but now, she felt a chill down her spine.

Before Shen Xixi could say anything, they heard gunshots from afar. The three of them knew that the three major guilds had taken the lead to organize a team to deal with Zhang Heng. In fact, if it wasn’t for Shen Xixi and Zhang Heng’s relationship.., she would have been invited anyway. If nothing went wrong, the gunshots should have come from the search party.

The three of them exchanged a look before running toward the source of the gunshots. However, by the time they reached the pool, the gunshots had already thinned out. At first, the three of them thought that they were fighting Zhang Heng, however, when they arrived, they realized that there was no sign of Zhang Heng in the camp. To be more precise, there was no sign of anyone else.

The players in the camp were fighting in the air, and each of them looked more terrified than the last. It was as if they were at a critical moment of life and death. Shen Xixi tried to stop a player who was closer, however, before she could reach him, she saw the man waving the dagger in his hand and stabbing wildly. What shocked the three of them even more was that the man did not hesitate to stab the dagger into his stomach, he cut open his lower abdomen.

Then, he pulled out his own intestines. When rabbit saw this scene, he could not hold it in any longer. He held onto a rock by the side and vomited wildly.
