The Scavengers

9:26am-5:7am, September [-]th

9月26日，晨05:52分，距离任务时限倒计时还有41小时。

Xiao Mo woke up from a deep sleep and felt that his energy was very good, but he was still reluctant to open his eyes and planned to squint for a while until he touched a...

Xiao Mo opened his eyes in fright, and saw a bare-bottomed little Maotou lying on top of him and sleeping soundly, with saliva dripping down his chest.

Wipe off the saliva and then touch the chest, strange, why is it a little painful?

"Xiaohong? Xuelihong?" The confident Xiao Mo patted the child lightly.

The child only moved his head and was sound asleep.

Xiao Mo sat up with the child in his arms, his eyes naturally fell on the clothes, shoes and socks that were randomly thrown on the ground.

The small snoring stopped, Xiao Mo lowered his head, and met the child's open eyes.

"Uh, it's early." Xiao Mo raised his hand to check the time and found that it was just before six o'clock.

The child smacked his lips, slid off Xiao Mo's body, sat on the bed for a while, and then leaned over to grab the backpack he threw on the ground.

"You..." Are you going to be like this?

The child took out a set of children's clothes from his backpack and began to put them on slowly.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Mo felt inexplicably guilty, grabbed his little sock, and said awkwardly: "I'll help you recover, it's too unsafe for you to do this."

The child snatched the socks and twisted around, raised her little feet and tried to put them on.

Xiao Mo snatched it over again, saw the child glaring at him with big lifeless eyes, and burst out laughing, "I'm not angry yet, but you are already angry? Well, I was wrong yesterday, and I reacted too much, but in the future you will also be angry." Don't make that kind of joke with me anymore, I'm a decent person." He laughed again.

After folding all the children's clothes into the bag and stuffing them into the backpack, Xiao Mo took out a set of adult clothes from his bag, first threw the underwear to the child, "Put it on."

The child picked up the underwear and smelled it, Xiao Mo blushed, and quickly grabbed the underwear, "What's so good about this? I washed it clean! If you don't want to wear mine, quickly take out your own! "

The child couldn't figure out why this man could freely give him his underwear, but he didn't want to mate with him?Doesn't he feel that the act of piercing each other's panties is more intimate than mating?

Xiao Mo urged the child to take out his adult underpants and put them on before helping him recover.

The recovery process was very painful, and Xue Lihong lay on the bed for a while before sitting up.

Seeing him in such pain, Xiao Mo felt regretful. He was reminded by Xiao Hong to provide him with energy in advance, which kept him from turning into a juvenile body during this period of time, and he knew that he would become an adult from a juvenile body. Feel how painful it is.

"I'm sorry, tell me as soon as you feel that you can't take it anymore, and I will never threaten you with this again. You, are you hungry? I'll go to the lobby to get food, and you can sleep for a while?"

"No need." Xue Lihong stood up, took out clothes from her backpack and put them on.

Xiao Mo stood in front of the bed, scratched his head, and quickly picked up the clothes thrown on the ground, saw that water was still coming out of the faucet, and quickly took out soap to wash.

Xue Lihong sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xiao Mo's busy back, curling the corners of her lips proudly.The effect was good, it was not in vain. Last night he deliberately overdrawn some abilities that are not suitable for use now, and successfully transformed into a juvenile body during sleep.

I was forced to watch the system all night: Should I remind the host that he was taken advantage of by his employees?But seeing that the host is so stupid, what should I do if I suddenly don't want to tell him?

The lobby in the morning was chaotic and noisy.

Most people were queuing up to get food, and some squatted in the hall to eat after receiving food.

Everyone was talking about the alarm last night, Xiao Mo listened to a few words, and asked Xue Lihong curiously: "Did you hear it? I seemed to hear it last night, but I thought it was a dream."

Thinking of him in the dream, Xiao Mo clenched his fists slightly, it wasn't him!Absolutely not!

Xue Lihong did not hide the fact that she slipped out, she whispered what she saw and heard last night.

Xiao Mo was taken aback, lowered his voice and said, "That thing came in from the outside?"

"It's not sure yet, but if it really came in from the outside, there should be more than one."

"Is Lao Wu's family okay? Have you seen them?" Xiao Mo turned his head and looked around, worried.He was afraid that the poisonous bombs would not kill the mutant rats and angels on the spot, especially the mutant rats. If they drilled deep enough, they might be able to continue digging deeper after they noticed something was wrong.

Besides, maybe some mutated rats dug here.

"They're fine. I think that even a level-three mutant mouse wouldn't be able to dig through here so easily." Xue Lihong did calculations, and if she wanted to dig through the wall of this air-raid shelter, even a level-three mutant mouse would need at least one In a month's time, it is necessary to find a weak point.

Xiao Mo felt relieved, "What if they avoid the concrete wall, dig from the soft soil next to it to the bottom, and then dig in through the sewer?"

"Since they smell that there is a lot of food here, it is indeed possible." But Xue Lihong still felt that this was more like an internal disturbance than an external one, and the evidence was the attitude of those soldiers.

So calm!

Abnormality is a demon. If it was really a mutant rat digging in from the sewer, the soldiers would definitely not be so calm. Otherwise, they would have made a fuss for a while just checking to see if anyone was scratched, but there was none of that.

It felt as if soldiers had encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and they already had a relatively safe solution.

"We'll contact Cheng Zai after breakfast later." Xiao Mo didn't want to procrastinate any longer.Maybe it was because the base was deep underground, he always felt a little irritable for no reason.

Xue Lihong felt that she had gained a huge advantage last night, and she was in a good mood, whatever Xiao Mo said was what she wanted, and she didn't disagree with it.

But they couldn't contact Cheng Zai.

"We can't wait any longer. The situation at this base may be more complicated than we imagined. It's best not to get involved. I suggest that we directly explain our identities and complete the task as quickly as possible to leave here."

In the end, Xiao Mo had no choice but to tell the soldiers in the hall that he needed to contact the higher-ups here for important matters.

Team Liu came and said he could talk to him about something.

"It's a matter of great importance..."

Captain Liu was expressionless, "If you were the boss, would you allow anyone to meet with you after hearing these four words? Then you don't have to do other things for a day, just the visitors will be enough for you." drown you."

Xiao Mo hesitated for three seconds, and said, "Actually, we are mercenaries. We were hired by General Qiu to find something in the aerospace material center here. This thing is very important and must be found as soon as possible. If you don't believe me, you can contact Qiu at the Zhongshan base. General, he can prove our identity."

Captain Liu's eyes sank, "Really?"

Xiao Mo nodded heavily, "Really."

"name?"

"Scavenger squad, Xiao Mo."

Team Liu paused for a second when he heard the name of the mercenary team, and said, "Wait for me for 5 minutes."

Afterwards, Team Liu asked two soldiers to keep an eye on them, turned around and walked to the corner, and turned on the wireless communicator.

After a while.

"Follow me." Captain Liu, who had contacted with no one, led the two of them to the left passage, and many people on the way were secretly watching them.

After walking about 100 meters inside, Captain Liu pushed open a door, "Please come in."

Xiao Mo stood outside the door and looked in, it looked like an interrogation room.

"What does this mean?" Xiao Mo stood outside the door without moving.

"The requirements above, you can use it as a temporary reception room."

"Captain Liu!" A familiar voice sounded, and Cheng Zai came over in an electric wheelchair.

Seeing this super lucky guy, Team Liu showed a little smile.Although Cheng Zai was "misdiagnosed" as a person infected with the angel virus, there would still be a few days of observation period, but because of the special nature of his work, Cheng Zai was quite free in his actions, and only two soldiers followed him behind him.

When Xiao Mo saw Cheng Zai, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. He thought something happened to Cheng Zai.It seems that someone should be causing trouble, preventing him from passing the news directly to Cheng Zai.

Cheng Zai came over and said, "Captain Liu, they are my friends, I promise they are not bad people."

"I know." Team Liu's expression softened a little, "Otherwise I won't inform you again, but the higher-ups asked to bring them here."

"Captain Liu, wait a moment." Cheng Zai came over and pulled Xiao Mo aside, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, what the hell are you doing?"

A smile floated on the corner of Xiao Mo's mouth, "No trick, just want to find something."

"Looking for what?"

"Sorry, I can't tell."

Cheng Zai frowned, "Brother Xiao, I didn't think it was necessary at first. There are some things I didn't tell you. The situation here is much more complicated than you imagined, especially..."

"Who is the person sent by General Qiu Feng?" An unkind voice interrupted Cheng Zai's words.

Two middle-aged men were sitting on a battery car, leading several soldiers coming from the corner of the passage.

Cheng Zai sped up his speech and condensed the unfinished words into one sentence: "Don't reveal your ability." Then he turned the wheelchair and faced the visitor.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong also turned to look at each other.

Xiao Mo doubled his vigilance at the same time, why did Cheng Zai say not to reveal his abilities?Obviously, the country has issued express regulations, requiring no one in the country to conduct illegal human experiments on supernatural beings or ordinary people.Is it here...

Looking back now, I do find some unreasonable places.For example, before the bomb was dropped, the managers here must have received the news long ago, why didn't they take the troops to evacuate far away?

Said it was for the last batch of survivors?Then as long as the air-raid shelter is open, why keep so many people?

But if this is not just an air defense center for evacuation, but if there is Ujai Research Institute or other important organizations...

But if it's for Yujayan, they can completely transfer all the people and important property in advance, why should they stay?

If it is not for the scientific researchers and important research materials of Yucai Research Institute, what is in the main body of this underground building?

Reminiscent of the monster that came out of the toilet to kill and hunt for food, Xiao Mo suddenly felt that this underground air defense base had become extremely mysterious.

"Cheng Zai, I thought you were in the medical monitoring room."

After a middle-aged man with high cheekbones finished speaking, he forced to ask another gentle man next to him who was a colonel wearing military epaulets, "Why do you let the infected people walk around outside? If the infection spreads, you are responsible? "

Before Colonel Sven opened his mouth, Cheng Zai took a step forward: "Diffusion what? I don't bite people. Besides, I entered the monitoring room, who will finish the work at hand, yours?"

The middle-aged man's voice was blocked, and he said angrily: "Then why don't you do your work in the communication room, but come here instead?"

"I don't seem to be in your charge?" Cheng Zai blocked back again.

"Xiao Cheng!" Colonel Sven jumped off the battery car, shook his head at Cheng Zai, and said to the aggressive man: "Cheng Zai has been confirmed not to be infected with the angel virus, of course he can leave the monitoring room and go back to work."

The man with high cheekbones lost his voice: "What? He wasn't infected? But yesterday..."

"His luck is exactly the lucky 3%."

The man with high cheekbones was so jealous that his eyes were red, how could this kid be so lucky?Feeling unhappy, he got off the battery car with a bad expression, looked at Xiao Mo and the two, "Are you Qiu Feng's people?"

Xiao Mo didn't admit it directly, but said: "We need to contact General Qiu immediately, can you communicate with the outside world?"

Cheng Zai replied quickly: "Yes."

"Cheng Zai!" The man with high cheekbones was angry.

"Xiao Cheng, it's none of your business here. There is still a lot of work to be done in the communication room, right? You go back first." Colonel Sven was obviously protecting Cheng Zai.

The man with high cheekbones seemed to know that Cheng Zai couldn't be moved, so he immediately pointed his cannon at Xiao Mo and the two, "You said you were looking for something? What are you looking for?"

Xiao Mo, "Sorry, this is confidential, we can't say it."

"Secret? Huh! You say you are Qiu Feng's people? What about the evidence?"

"No, but if we contact General Qiu, he will prove our identity. Who are you?"

"I'm Wang Jinian, one of the persons in charge of this underground security base." The zygomatic man didn't like Xiao Mo's attitude very much, "You didn't say what you were looking for, and you couldn't prove your identity, but you want to use the communication facilities? By the way, this Xiao Mo is the one who threatened to open the third door lock, right? It is said that they also left a false identity? Such people with ulterior motives, you can let them just walk around in the base like this? Team Liu, Capture them!"

"Wait!" Cheng Zai and Colonel Sven shouted at the same time.

"Ma Xiang, don't forget, I am responsible for the safety of the base!" Wang Jinian glared at Colonel Sven.

"It's just that you are responsible for the rear, and we are responsible for the front. Also, Team Liu is not yours, so please don't command it at will." Colonel Sven Ma Xiang replied rudely.

"They're going to the Aerospace Materials Center to find something, so I'll be in charge of them." Wang Jinian said in a gloomy voice.

"Isn't this still going?" Ma Xiang turned to Xiao Mo with a smile on his face, "We will contact General Qiu Feng, but you need to wait here for a while."

"Okay, thank you." But Xiao Mo still didn't want to enter that interrogation room.

Cheng Zai stretched out his hand, "Is there any direct contact information for General Qiu? We only have the satellite and wireless frequency bands of Zhongshan Security Base."

"Yes." Xiao Mo took out a ballpoint pen and wrote down a string of numbers in Cheng Zai's palm, "This number can go directly to General Qiu."

Cheng Zai blinked knowingly, "Don't worry, I won't tell other people, I will erase all traces when I contact you."

Xiao Mo understands why Cheng Zai has a special status, probably not only his backstage, but also his own ability.

Wang Jinian's chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be full of annoyance. Seeing that Cheng Zai was going to use the contact resources without his consent, his face became even more ugly. "Captain Liu, you'd better keep an eye on these two people, and don't let them intrude!"

Team Liu replied calmly: "I will do my duty well."

Seeing Cheng Zai leave, Wang Jinian immediately climbed into the battery car. He went to the communication room to keep an eye on them to see if the two were really Qiu Feng's people.If yes, hehe!

And that boy Cheng Zai was so lucky, not only did he not die outside, but he was not infected with the angel virus after suffering so many injuries. What kind of luck is this?

And if he wants to control the entire communication room, Cheng Zai must not stay, even if he is very useful.Now he is waiting for the day when all the equipment in the communication room is repaired, and then let Cheng Zai accompany the monster.

Wang Jinian looked at Cheng Zai's back, thinking about the future misfortune of this kid, and immediately felt a lot more relieved from being blocked.But even with such a plan, before that, he didn't want to make Ma Xiang's forces feel better.

Thinking of this, he didn't care that Xiao Mo's identity had not yet been verified, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and tuned to a frequency band: "Young Master Bao, it's me, Wang Jinian, I have something to tell you..."

On this side, Ma Xiang was not angry when he was left behind. The communication room is still under their control. He is not afraid that Wang Jinian will make some monsters in it.

"You don't look like soldiers." Ma Xiang smiled gently.He saw that Xiao Mo disliked the interrogation room, so he didn't force the two to go in, and stayed at the door to talk to the two.

But Xiao Mo was the only one who spoke, and Xue Lihong minimized her sense of existence.

"We are mercenaries." Ma Xiang had a gentle attitude, and Xiao Mo also faced each other with a smile.

Ma Xiang is not curious about the identities of the two mercenaries. Since the chaos emerged, mercenaries have also emerged in response to the situation. Now mercenaries have become a flood. As long as there is a bit of ability, people with abilities and ordinary people will form gangs Set up a mercenary squad.

"Under such a dangerous situation, you have come to City H to look for something that is very important to General Qiu?"

Xiao Mo asked back: "The building here is very secretive and strong, is it because of the Aerospace Materials Research Center?"

"You two are the only ones doing this task? Are you supernatural beings?"

"Why don't you get out before the bombs are dropped? What the hell is in here?"

Ma Xiang laughed, "Well, it seems that I can't ask anything, what's the name?"

"Xiao Mo, this is my brother Xue Lihong."

Only then did Ma Xiang notice Xue Lihong, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he hadn't noticed this person before, but this person was clearly standing beside Xiao Mo.

"Hello, little brother, I think your complexion is not very good, is it..."

"Bu——bu——" the harsh electronic warning sound rang through the entire channel again.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong immediately entered into combat mode.

Team Liu picked up the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation.

All the soldiers drew out their guns and pointed them at both sides of the aisle.

Ma Xiang looked calm, and after about 3 minutes, the warning sound disappeared. He smiled at Xiao Mo and the two, and explained: "It may be the impact of the bombing. There is a crack somewhere, but it should be repaired now."

Xiao Mo hehe.Make it up, I don't believe it anyway.

Xue Lihong had been listening carefully when the alarm sounded, and she didn't know what he heard, so a mocking smile curled up on the corner of her mouth.But his smile was too weak, and his sense of presence was too low, no one noticed his smile.

The rustling sound of the walkie-talkie sounded, and Ma Xiang picked up the walkie-talkie, "I'm Ma Xiang, please say."

Cheng Zai's unclear voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The identities of Xiao Mo and the two have been verified. General Qiu Feng from the security base in Zhongshan City requested to speak with the two to determine the progress of the mission."

07:00 sharp.

There were still 40 hours before the time limit, and it took an hour just to negotiate and contact General Qiu.

The two followed Ma Xiang in the battery car and continued down the left passage. At the end was a freight elevator. Take the freight elevator down, and open the door to enter a passage that looks like an office building.

"This building belongs to us." Ma Xiang said something unclear, swiping his card all the way and taking the elevator in the building down to the second floor.

Xiao Mo and the others looked at the floor plan and knew that this three-story underground building was not the main body of the underground building. Behind this building there was a building about five floors deep underground, which was the main underground building of the Aerospace Materials Center.

Ma Xiang said that this building belongs to them, combined with what he said before, is it true that the military forces only reach this building, and they are not responsible for the main body behind it?

The two of them didn't ask or say anything along the way, and Ma Xiang didn't lead them to talk, and directly took them to a normal conference room.

After a simple adjustment, Cheng Zai's voice first sounded from the loudspeaker, "Brother Xiao, just say whatever you want later, I guarantee that no one can overhear."

Ma Xiang cursed with a low laugh, pointed to the microphone on the table, and motioned for them to talk directly.

Xiao Mo smiled, sat down at the table, pressed the answer button on the microphone and said, "Thank you!"

"Small things. Get ready, we'll get through right away."

Xiao Mo grabbed the matching earphones and put them on, and soon a familiar voice came from inside: "It's connected? Xiao Xiao, are you there?"

In order to save contact resources, only the call has no video.

Xiao Mo, "General Qiu, we are here."

"As long as you're fine!" Qiu Feng was determined, with obvious joy in his voice, "How are you completing your mission?"

"I'm in a little trouble now." Xiao Mo was very grateful to Qiu Feng, who was equivalent to helping them get rid of this matter, and also helped them cover up, and finally they had to use his power to help him complete this task.

Qiu Feng said directly: "Say, what's the trouble?"

"Wait a minute." Xiao Mo turned his head to look at Ma Xiang and the others, "Can you give us a little private space?"

Ma Xiang pondered for a while, nodded, and led all the people in the room to exit.

Xue Lihong looked up at the monitor in the corner of the meeting room, took out a few things from her backpack and started to arrange them.

Seeing Xue Lihong nodding, Xiao Mo continued to speak into the microphone: "General Qiu, the target of my mission this time is probably in the underground main building of the Aerospace Materials Research Center, but we do not have permission to enter. I would like you to see it." Can..."

At the same time, several people in the room next to the communication room were eavesdropping on the conversation between Xiao Mo and Qiu Feng. They first discovered that the monitor had suddenly broken down, and they couldn't see anything in that room.

Fortunately, the voice of the call can still be heard, but just after hearing "the target of the task is likely to be there now", there is suddenly a sharp and piercing sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard.

Everyone in the room covered their ears unbearably.

Wang Jinian cursed: "It must be Cheng Zai! You little bastard!"

Bao Yuezhi quickly turned off the loudspeaker, and the tormenting sound finally disappeared from the room.

"Young Master Bao?"

Bao Yuezhi's face was so dark that black water dripped out, "Let's go! Go find someone directly. I'll see who dares to stop me!"

Cheng Zai next door gave a nasty smile, and he knew that someone couldn't help but eavesdrop. Brother Xiao, I can only help you so much. I hope your mission goes well.

Xue Lihong raised his eyebrows, that kid was one step faster than him, although the other party controlled the equipment terminal, losing to a brat still made him unhappy.
