Several people in the car kept silent in a tacit agreement, because they knew that Cang Mingzhu was angry, and if he spoke now, he would undoubtedly be looking for trouble.

There was obviously silence for a while before speaking: "Colonel Cang, please wait a moment."

Cang Mingzhu said nothing.

After about a minute, a steady and powerful middle-aged voice came from over there.

"Mingzhu."

Cang Mingzhu snorted coldly from his throat, "Admiral Cang, please explain what happened in the North District."

There was silence for a while and then he said: "I have received your briefing on the situation. Regarding the North District, the headquarters did not expect that all the refugees there have died. Thank you for making an extra trip."

Listening to what the person on the communication device said, Teng Xiyan always felt a little ridiculous. It would be too ridiculous to just mention everything that happened after just one extra trip.

Cang Mingzhu leaned back slightly and said in a cold voice: "How did the headquarters know that there was a group of refugees inside? After we entered the North District, all the equipment could not be used at all. We even encountered ultra-high-level mutants and almost died here. In one sentence Did you get through all the hard work?"

The person over there had a stern expression and the same cold voice: "Who dares to disobey the orders issued by the headquarters, Mingzhu, I thought you had grown up, why are you still speaking so aggressively now?"

"Aggressive?" Cang Mingzhu read out these words in a low voice, and then sneered: "I brought out more than fifty elites, but now there are only a dozen left. You ask me why I am so aggressive. I am seeking an explanation for these dead souls."

"We are facing a strange situation here. Not even a signal for support can be sent. Help me ask the people at the headquarters. Are they too old and confused to hear, or are they dead? Or is there no shortage of me anymore? There is no shortage. As for me, I can just take my people and leave.”

Li Jiaoyang added fuel to the fire and said loudly: "Don't worry, boss, we will all follow him without saying a word! Just let the people from the headquarters go alone!"

The person over there obviously took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "Mingzhu, I will help you find out about this matter, but when you come back, don't go to the headquarters to cause trouble!"

Cang Mingzhu didn't buy it: "Then let's see how much the Lord can find out before I come back."

After saying this, he hung up the communication device and threw it aside.

"A colonel and a general, the difference in military rank is not just one or two ranks. Colonel Cang, your identity is more than just a colonel, right?" Teng Xiyan saw the tone and content of his words, and he was very interested in a military rank higher than his. There are so many people without any respect, but the people opposite him are still threatened by him. Is this an ability that a colonel can have?

Li Jiaoyang patted his chest, feeling a little proud: "Isn't it because of us? Do you think any of us look like ordinary people?"

Lin Wangxi rolled her eyes in disgust: "I'll pull you down, you just don't have the strength. You need a brain with brute force, and you need looks with brute force. Tsk, forget it."

"Damn!" Li Jiaoyang cursed, "Although I'm not as handsome as the boss and this one behind me - Teng Xiyan, I'm only a little bit behind them, right?"

"Besides, Mingkong didn't say anything. He has a red thorny head that sticks in his hand. He doesn't know how to fight. He just needs to be smarter." Li Jiaoyang muttered.

"Just a little easier?"

Li Jiaoyang clicked his tongue and said a little impatiently: "A lot, a lot, okay? Are you really convinced? Do you have to compare with me!?"

He turned his head and continued: "By the way, you asked a good question just now! Although our boss is just a colonel, he is a well-connected person! His strength and methods are too superb, and he does things vigorously and resolutely. The headquarters is afraid that he will rebel, so he will If you don’t give him a promotion, what if the people at the headquarters don’t want to order anything good all day long and insist on suppressing us and forcing us to rebel that day?”

When Lin Wangxi talked about the headquarters, he stopped arguing and agreed: "The main thing is that sometimes the things the headquarters does are so disgusting that it makes people unhappy both physically and mentally. It would be nice not to wish them dead every day and treat them with respect." , thinking too much.”

Tantai Zhao said: "It's best not to say these words when we get to the base. We will be careful to punish you for disrespect. In jail, no one will try to catch you two."

"understood!"

Teng Xiyan touched his left arm and felt a stinging pain. He took off his coat and exposed his arm. Although the bandage on it stopped bleeding, the area where the flesh was stuck inside was particularly painful.

He stretched out his hand in front of Cang Mingzhu and said with a hint of weakness and pity in his tone: "Colonel Cang, please help me get this bandage. It's not convenient for me to have one hand."

After saying that, the fingertips in the air moved flexibly.

Cang Mingzhu took out the medicine box, and then slowly and gently removed his bandage. Teng Xiyan turned his face to the side, biting his lower lip, with an expression of enduring the pain, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Cang Mingzhu raised his head and looked at him. His hand movements were much lighter, but his voice was still cold: "If you know it hurts, don't act like a hero next time. You are quite capable of cutting vines alone."

Teng Xiyan gritted his teeth, "No, I'm afraid your team members will die. You blame me."

The threads of the bandage were already glued to his flesh, and there was no other way but to tear them off bit by bit. This pain seemed to have no end, torturing him.

"Colonel, please hurry up, don't torment me, it really hurts!" Teng Xiyan kept taking deep breaths, his fingertips clenched his palms slightly white, and his voice was slightly trembling.

Cang Mingzhu pulled off the last sticky thread with a pause, applied medicine again, and bandaged it again.

Li Jiaoyang hummed twice: "You must be satisfied, that's our boss. The boss helped you apply the medicine himself, and you beg him to hurry up, tsk, you don't know how blessed you are when you are in the midst of blessings."

Lin Wangxi turned her face away and said in a cold and speechless voice: "Who is that? Can you pay attention to what you say? Every word is very misleading. I am still a minor!"

Teng Xiyan: "......?"

He seemed to be telling Cang Mingzhu to hurry up and stop tormenting him... Well, he really didn't mean anything else just now.

"You're underage, you know this. Children, don't read or listen to those messy things. Be careful of getting needle eyes!" Li Jiaoyang scolded.

Lin Wangxi kicked me over and said, "You are only two years older than me, why are you pretending to be an adult?"

"I'm two years older than you, so I hope you'll call me brother!"

"Brother, your sister!"

......

After searching for two days, it seems that because of this beast tide, there are very few mutants seen on the road towards the base. However, the damage to the city here is very serious, and almost no high-rise buildings are intact. .

Huge vines wrapped around and swallowed them like pythons. There was no smell of fireworks. It rained again from the sky, burying their whereabouts on the road.

He Sui'an has eaten more in the past two days and his face has become rosier, which seems to be a sign of recovery.

Teng Xiyan sat aside with a small notebook to record He Sui'an's physical condition. He Sui'an didn't pay much attention to it. He played well with Zhao Shun. Zhao Shun played games and slept with him, and they talked about everything. Good friends.

In fact, when they saw this situation, everyone did not think that his condition had improved, but that he had returned to his former glory.

After Teng Xiyan took note of his physical condition, he squatted next to He Sui'an and held his little hand: "Xiao Sui'an, do you feel any discomfort in your body today?"

The smile on He Sui'an's face still hung, and he shook his head happily: "Brother Yan, I feel that I am healed and there is no discomfort anymore. Thank you!"

Teng Xiyan looked at the little hand that was held behind his back, and suddenly choked in his heart. His throat rolled up and down. He took out the nutritional supplement from his back and said gently: "Although there is no discomfort now, I still have to drink this."

He Sui'an took the nutritional supplement from his hand without hesitation, raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, then rolled up his sleeves and handed it to Teng Xiyan.

He knew that he would have to draw blood after drinking this, but it didn't matter, it didn't hurt much!

Seeing such a well-behaved and sensible He Sui'an, everyone looked away uncomfortably and held back the tears in their eyes. Everyone knew that his time was running out, and only he thought he was getting better.

After drawing the blood, Teng Xiyan installed the test tube, then took out a lollipop from his bag and said warmly: "This is a reward from the beautiful sister over there. Go and thank her!"

He Sui'an held the lollipop and ran over happily, tugging at the corner of Lin Wangxi's clothes. She was furious. There were several lollipops missing from her bag. She didn't know who stole them. , but when she lowered her head, she saw the lollipop in the child's hand.

He Sui'an's eyes were wide open and clear and bright. His voice was no longer hoarse but childish: "Thank you, pretty sister, for the lollipop. Pretty sister is so nice!"

Lin Wangxi's anger was extinguished instantly, and she became awkward. Her red face turned to one side: "No thanks, go away!"

He Sui'an awkwardly peeled off the candy coating and put it into his mouth. His taste buds were instantly wrapped in sweetness, and he said again in a vague tone: "Thank you, sister, sister's candy is so delicious!"

Lin Wangxi turned around, took out two lollipops from her arms, stuffed them into He Sui'an's arms, and pretended to be impatient: "Let's go, let's go!"

She is the worst at dealing with children, especially... children like this.

Tantai Zhao clicked on the instrument on his wrist when he had time. The dense data on it made a beeping sound from time to time. Cang Mingzhu sat aside, leaning his elbow on his leg and crossing his other leg underneath. , draw circles on the map on the ground.

After Teng Xiyan took care of He Sui'an's affairs, he came over and sat down next to Cang Mingzhu on his knees. Cang Mingzhu just turned his head slightly and looked up at him without saying anything.

"How long does it take to get to the base?" Teng Xiyan curled his legs and leaned against the stone.

Without finding a new place to live, the dozen or so people could only find a slightly secluded place to take a nap.

Cang Mingzhu drew a stroke on the map and whispered: "Two days."

Teng Xiyan looked at the moonless sky with a sad and calm expression: "Tomorrow is the last day."

Tantai Zhao and Cang Mingzhu both paused, understanding what he was talking about.

"Yes, I understand." Cang Mingzhu replied, his voice calm.

Li Jiaoyang was also particularly good-tempered tonight. He played with He Sui'an for a long time. After He Sui'an fell asleep, he dragged his heavy and tired body to sit next to Lin Wangxi.

The bonfire in front of him was about to go out. Li Jiaoyang poked it with a stick, threw some branches and leaves in, and stirred up a burst of dust. The fire slowly went from almost extinguished to slowly rising. No one touched the pile of firewood, and the fire continued to grow. It slowly extinguished as the fuel was exhausted.

Zhao Shun hugged He Sui'an and stayed up all night. After a while, he touched He Sui'an's arm and felt his breathing, which made him restless all night.

A misty white appeared on the horizon. Zhao Shun squinted and touched the people around him. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up stiffly, not daring to look away.

His fingertips, already nervous and frightened, were cold, so he grasped the small wrist and hugged him tightly.

When Teng Xiyan woke up, he found that everyone had gotten up and gathered in one place. He knew that He Sui'an was dead.

After he checked He Sui'an's physical condition, everyone dug a hole, buried him in it, and erected a simple wooden sign.

Lin Wang looked forward to the name carved on the wooden sign with a dagger. He was stunned for a while, then took out the last two lollipops from his arms, placed them in front of the wooden sign, turned around and got in the car.

The route on the last day was a bit winding and bumpy, and there were fewer and fewer buildings visible around it. Teng Xiyan was quite curious about what the underground protective city they were talking about looked like.

"Are all the structures of the underground protective city underground?" Teng Xiyan asked.

Cang Mingzhu replied: "So."

Li Jiaoyang added: "It's definitely not the gate, otherwise how would you get in?"

"The base gate is made of a special material, and the mechanism inside is also very complicated. How can I put it, it is invulnerable to water and fire, so it is very safe to stay in the underground city."

Not only the gate, but also the two defense mechanisms underneath to protect the city, and the sun harvesting device, completely simulated life on the ground, but it was only a simulation. Human beings had no problem surviving there, but some foods were difficult to cultivate.

Teng Xiyan held his chin and thought, "You are so strong, can you kick this door open?"

Li Jiaoyang twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I am strong, but I don't have super powers, okay?"

Tantai Zhao's speed became slower and slower, and then stopped.

"Boss, we're here."

Lin Wangxi and Li Jiaoyang jumped out of the car first and ran directly to the base gate.

Cang Mingzhu opened his eyes, the sleepiness in his eyes had not dissipated for a moment, and there was a hint of fatigue.

"Let's go, get out of the car." Cang Mingzhu opened the car door and stepped out.

Teng Xiyan looked through the window at the gate that blended with the color of the soil, like a trapezoidal slope. It wasn't until Li Jiaoyang opened the gate that it looked like a door.

Teng Xiyan took some things he had brought from City A, got out of the car with Cang Mingzhu, and walked towards the gate of the base.

"Mingkong, take him to the place where he will live and register his identity code." Cang Mingzhu took off his black gloves, glanced down at Teng Xiyan, and whispered, "Inside, if someone asks you YN3... ..."

Teng Xiyan smiled slightly: "This is a secret between Colonel Cang and I. How can we tell it to others? So can Colonel Cang arrange a better room for me?"

After entering the gate of the base, they found that the structure inside was amazing. They took the helicopter directly to the bottom. Below was a transparent corridor. They landed in the middle of a huge, honeycomb-like structure.

"These are zoned housing?" Teng Xiyan asked.

Tantai Zhao replied: "Yes, this can accommodate it to the greatest extent."

"This place is divided into several levels. You can learn about them slowly, but don't mess with the seventh level." Li Jiaoyang said.

Teng Xiyan raised his eyebrows. Is there any dirty secret?

"Because that is the military center of our heresy detection institute. Ordinary people will be detained if they trespass." Lin Wangxi said.

"Oh... wouldn't it mean that I won't be able to see you all in the future?"

Lin Wangxi sighed and patted his chest: "It's a small problem, just because of your good looks. I will definitely come to you when I can. After all, facing Li Ergou's face every day will make my appetite drop!"

"Lin Wangxi, what do you mean?" Li Jiaoyang held Lin Wangxi under his arm and lifted up into the air, "Lin Wangxi, you must apologize to me today!! Apologize!!"

"No, it's possible!!" Lin Wangxi struggled for a moment and was completely caught in the air, unable to move. "Let me down! Do you only want to sneak attack me?"

Li Jiaoyang also sneered, "No, it can be!"

Tantai Zhao took Teng Xiyan to the second floor and stepped out of the elevator. Cang Mingzhu and the other two were waiting for the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.

There were two men in black military uniforms at the gate on the second floor. When they saw the two people approaching, they stopped them. A man in military uniform said indifferently: "Identity!"

Tantai Zhao raised his hand and exposed the instrument on his wrist. The instrument automatically popped up a transparent green screen with three numbers displayed on it.

009.

The two men in military uniforms looked at each other, confused.

"I'm an upper-level member of the Heresy Detection Institute. I'm bringing the refugees here to get their identity numbers. Do you have any questions?" Tantai Zhao touched the red hair on his head, and his voice suddenly became coercive.
