HTDI Chapter 20

After saying a few words to Yan Hua, Su Mingfei left the school.

Yan Hua said he could wait for his daughter and they could leave together.

However, he refused.

A gentle breeze blew, caressing the blue sky and white clouds.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered.

Obscuring the sun,

Su Mingfei looked up.

Arriving at the police station, he joined Li Weicha and the police staff in helping prepare Zhang San’s funeral.

The police station was bustling with activity, people coming and going, some making flower baskets for the deceased.

Some prepared incense.

Some cooked and transported food to the public canteen.

Despite the hustle and bustle, no one smiled, and few spoke.

Su Mingfei was filled with emotions.

What must happen will eventually happen, and Zhang San’s funeral was held as scheduled.

People all came.

Xiao Zhuang, Li Weicha, and a few of Zhang San’s good friends carried the coffin.

Mayor Yina delivered the eulogy.

“Dear friends:

After Yina finished her eulogy, it was Zhang San’s son’s turn.

At this moment, the weather turned bad, and a light rain began to fall.

The rain drizzled and pattered.

But no one retreated.

Everyone in town, except those on duty or sick, attended.

They included students, teachers, doctors, nurses, workers, farmers, the elderly, children, and women.

Everyone was infected by the solemn atmosphere.

Zhang San’s son looked at everyone, tears streaming down his face, and said:

“I was very sad when my father died, but I will recover quickly and contribute to this town in the future. That is my dream. Please don’t worry about me.”

A warm applause rang out from the crowd.

It lasted for a long time.

Then, with the funeral procession leader’s signal, the burial procession began.

They went to a hillside, where police officers were already stationed with weapons, guarding against wild beasts from the mountains.

There was a huge pasture.

Su Mingfei looked over and saw about fifty graves.

Everyone carried Zhang San’s coffin into the pit and began setting up the marker.

After everything was done, everyone started to return home.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed nothing could be done today.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky from time to time.

He also went back, first driving his daughter and Qing Ya home, of course, and Feng Ying.

He had asked Feng Ying to help him look after the two children.

He was a little worried.

Feng Ying said of course it was no problem, she also liked children very much, and it was good for her to live alone and have someone to relieve her boredom.

After dropping off Feng Ying, his daughter Su Baihan, and Qing Ya at home, he changed his clothes. The previous ones were wet and could no longer be worn, otherwise he would catch a cold.

He took an umbrella, said goodbye to Feng Ying, and returned to the police station.

There were still many people at the police station, but they were all police officers.

Li Weicha led him to where they had hunted the beasts yesterday. There were many people there, those who had come to the mountains to hunt before. These people were now classifying and processing the meat and bones of these beasts.

Li Weicha explained that tomorrow they would divide these things and distribute them to every household in the town.

Secondly, due to the rain, all other work except normal duty was temporarily suspended.

Including the factory.

Li Weicha also said that it rained a lot in this place, but it would always rain during funerals.

Li Weicha said that the living like to return to Sky Prison in such weather.

He said nothing about it.

There were too many mysteries in this world. Although he didn’t quite agree, he wasn’t too keen on opposing them either.

Just then, Mayor Yina anxiously looked for Li Weicha.

So, he had no choice but to wander around, looking at his surroundings and familiarizing himself with the environment.

About thirty minutes passed before Li Weicha rushed over and pulled him aside to talk.

“We have to drive to pick up the scientist later.”

He looked a little anxious.

He quickly asked:

“What happened to the scientist?”

“No problem.”

He immediately stated his position.

Although he heard that the scientist was in danger, he was not afraid.

“No wonder you were a special forces soldier. I didn’t misjudge you. You have guts!”

Li Weicha said, patting him on the shoulder.

Then they smiled, went to get their equipment.

They put on raincoats and set off.

Li Weicha assigned him a machine gun, while Li Weicha carried a pistol.

After loading the guns with bullets, Su Mingfei suggested using his car because it was safe.

Li Weicha agreed and brought a radar and pager.

“Did the scientist invent this thing? It’s very different from the radar I’ve seen.”

Su Mingfei asked.

“Yes, this thing is connected to the pager. It can track people. Now the pager can’t contact the scientist, but she has activated the radar tracking function. We’ll follow the radar!”

Li Weicha explained to him.

So, Su Mingfei started the car. Li Weicha instructed him on which direction to go, while constantly trying to contact the scientist via the pager.

Halfway there, the two got out of the car, wearing rain boots and raincoats, and headed into the forest.

There were no roads in the forest. Roads only existed where many people had walked, and it was clear that no one usually came to this place.

Thunderclouds rolled in the sky.

The rain had subsided slightly, but it was still falling.

Li Weicha tried to contact the scientist, but still had no luck, so he could only follow the radar.

“The scientist’s real name is Sophia. We all call her the scientist. She’s a woman in her forties, but don’t underestimate her. She’s not only intellectually gifted, but also physically strong. She’s a foreigner, blonde and blue-eyed.”

Li Weicha followed the radar and told Su Mingfei about the scientist’s information.

“I know, I’ve seen her picture.”

Thinking of the scientist, Su Mingfei felt not only urgency, but also a hint of terror.

Because he already knew her nickname when he hadn’t arrived in this town yet.

Sophia, a senior scientist in the special forces, but she had died 50 years ago.

When Su Mingfei joined the special forces, he had heard of this person. Although she had died for 50 years, her reputation still remained.

Why would a dead person appear here?

This was the doubt in Su Mingfei’s heart.

Therefore, he was happy to accompany Li Weicha to meet the scientist.

He had many things he wanted to ask to get clarity.
