Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

When He Xiao received the message from Mars, he and Fu Yunlan immediately set off to the scene of the accident.

The plane whose structure was severely damaged has crashed near the coastline of the west coast of the United States. None of the crew members survived. According to Marth's report, only Beethoven survived, but this one has fractures and burns all over his body, and his left hand is also missing. After the flying mutant escaped from the burning cabin, he quickly escaped as if fleeing for his life.

He Xiao didn't say anything, but asked a few soldiers to bring the amplification equipment that could subdue mutants in an instant, and go to the place Marth said to catch Beethoven.

"Will it be related to him?" Fu Yunlan frowned as she looked at the wreckage of the plane that had been burnt black by aviation fuel.

"It's possible." He Xiao said, "Even an auxiliary artificial intelligence system like Mars can target a certain number of people and track him to the ends of the earth. There's no reason why the Devourer can't do this, but Since Beethoven was imprisoned in Hummingbird Town, the True God Sect seems to have given up on chasing him, which is really doubtful."

"Although I didn't find any abnormal devices on him, the Devourer's technology is more advanced than ours. He has many methods that we don't know, such as this sudden attack." He Xiao squatted next to the wreckage of the plane, carefully Looking at the incision that is still as smooth as a mirror even after the crash and burning, "It seems that the Devourer has mastered a new technology that we don't know about the use of four-dimensional space... Once the gap in technology is widened Open, it will become bigger and bigger. Now the entire Guardian Alliance is being constrained by the Devourer everywhere. Every time, we can only start to study the cracking and prevention methods after it has caused a certain amount of damage. This is the helpless reality we must face.”

"I know." Fu Yunlan is very anxious now, and can no longer listen to this kind of analysis of the overall situation, "I want to know one thing now, where is Celeste, can Mars track him down? ?”

"Have you noticed that even for humans, Celeste has no sense of existence, and it is difficult to find his existence in the crowd if you don't pay attention?"

Fu Yunlan froze for a moment, but didn't speak.

He Xiao chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten that he is a very special existence to you, and you will definitely pay attention to him at any time. You don't need to understand the principle, you just need to know that this is his A self-preservation measure, the Devourer cannot track Theliste, and neither can Mars and I."

"Originally, I could get in touch with the master through the tiny medical robot in his body, so even if I can't track him, I can at least know where he is." Marth's voice was crying, from the waist of He Xiao's entourage guard It came out from the loudspeaker, "But his medical robot seems to be malfunctioning, and I can't contact the owner. If the medical robot can't work normally, it means that his injury won't heal on its own, and he must still be bleeding now." Bleeding, pain and fear, poor master..."

When Fu Yunlan was still on the plane, she heard that Celeste's elbow was injured. Thinking of the lover he was desperately protecting, who was suffering in unknown places, Fu Yunlan was so anxious that she wanted to tear the culprit apart. up.

Fortunately, He Xiao interrupted Marth in time to add fuel to the fire: "Don't worry, no matter the situation is good or bad, at least Celeste is still alive."

"How can you be so sure?" Fu Yunlan worried that this was just a consolation.

"If he's 'dead', I will know immediately." He Xiao said, "According to the current situation, the Devourer has not yet mastered this new technology perfectly, and Celeste is lucky, basically It was completely replaced to a random location, and we must find out where he is before the Devourer. Marth, analyze the material structure and source in this pile of soil."

The pile of soil and garbage that appeared at Celeste’s location was almost scattered in the last ten seconds before the crash. Masi carefully screened the only remaining samples and said: “The composition of the soil meets the requirements of the plane. The soil structure in the southeast of China, where two glass shards and four packaging bag shards all point to the first generation in Jinhua and Hangzhou in Zhejiang, China, the owner should have been displaced there, let’s hurry to rescue him!"

"It seems that our Asian strategy plan is going to be advanced." He Xiao said, "Inform Qin Feng to lead the leading troops to land in China, and we will come later."

The elbow of Celeste's left arm was wrapped and he couldn't move. He could only wear a shirt with a cut-off sleeve, and laboriously repaired a diesel generator.

"Sebao, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest? Come and drink some water." An aunt with a kind face came to see him with a glass of water.

Celeste wanted to pick up the water glass, but found that his hands were covered in motor oil, so he shook his head.

"You're welcome, come, I'll drink it for you." The aunt fed the water to Celeste's mouth, and Celeste drank a few sips to moisten his throat, and nodded in thanks.

"This child is really sensible." The aunt sat aside, weaving a hanging net with a bunch of messy nylon ropes and chatting with several other women, and chatted with Celeste from time to time.

In the past two days, Celeste has repaired a lot of things, and quickly won his place in the base.

In any place in the last days, mechanics are very rare and precious talents. Although everyone thinks that Celeste is a little crazy, they still accept this new member, because most people are not very good at pronouncing the pronunciation of this foreign name. , and kindly named him Sebao in Chinese.

In people's minds, Celeste is just a poor stimulated child who digs out a nice dress from the trash, puts it on, and fantasizes that he is someone with special abilities and missions. The president of the base accepted him as the guest of honor, and even made him the emperor, and imaginatively imagined almighty systems, islands full of robots, cosmic-level wars and other interesting content.

Celeste doesn't mind what these people think, as long as someone asks, he will tell the truth, although he also knows that those people are just listening to it as a joke, as a pastime, but it's good to let them know the situation in advance, anyway Xiao and Fu Yunlan will come to pick him up sooner or later.

In order to avoid being executed as a spy, he carefully pieced together things, and it took him a lot of time to figure out a general situation.

When he was still at the Blue Shield base, he was introduced to the situation in Asia. After the nuclear winter, almost the entire regions of Russia, Mongolia, and northern China were covered with ice and snow all the year round, turning them into barren wastelands and refugees who could not survive. A large number of people moved south and settled down in the warmer south.

However, after the True God Sect occupied the entire Europe and the Middle East, it originally wanted to conquer Asia in one go, but was firmly resisted by guerrilla organizations from all over the world. Failed to really advance the front to the hinterland of China.

So they started to use all their resources to manufacture long-range missiles, and the endless missiles almost destroyed all the buildings on the surface of this land—especially in the southeast, where the population distribution before the war was already dense, even after experiencing the outbreak of zombie virus And after the world war, there are still houses everywhere. Up to now, almost every inch of land has been plowed back and forth several times by missiles.

However, people still tenaciously survived.

They dug underground year after year, and eventually countless underground survivor bases were connected into an underground kingdom extending in all directions. People sent teams of three or five to collect resources on the ground, and they usually lived underground for a long time. Dodge endless bomb attacks.

This is a survivor base in southeast China, and Fang Jingyu is the leader of this base.

The more Celeste observes, the more he feels that he has many characteristics similar to Fu Yunlan, which makes Celeste unable to help but want to know him better.

He cautiously asked about things related to Fang Jingyu. As soon as the aunts mentioned this leader, the conversation started, and news about Fang Jingyu was poured out continuously.

Zhang Lin, who had just been released from the confinement room, passed by here and gritted his teeth bitterly when he saw Celeste chatting happily with others.

Fang Jingyu happened to come to look for him, and he had a panoramic view of his expression at this time.

"Come with me." Fang Jingyu brought Zhang Lin to the military situation room, "Three days of confinement, you still haven't realized what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Lin pouted and lowered his head and said, "You are the officer. If you say I was wrong, I am wrong. What does it matter if you are not convinced?"

"I know what happened that time hit you hard, but you can't vent your pain by killing innocent people indiscriminately." Fang Jingyu sighed, "Cerliste has repaired a lot of things in the past few days and returned them to everyone." Built a groundwater filtration unit, he was a very good technician, and you almost killed him indiscriminately."

"Do you really trust this guy of unknown origin? He appeared in this kind of place for no reason. The correct way to deal with it is to kill him by mistake rather than let him go. I'm not venting my personal anger, and I have no grievances with him. What kind of personal anger does Wu Qiu have? My starting point for everything is to protect everyone's safety."

"It doesn't matter if you kill innocent people for this?" Fang Jingyu looked at Zhang Lin solemnly. This old classmate of his high school, the old comrade who joined the army with him since the outbreak of the zombie virus, has become more and more difficult for him to see. Thoroughly.

"Why not? Is it because of your kindness and sense of justice?" Zhang Lin sneered, "Don't forget that we were trapped in taking in refugees before. We thought that saving a few people in distress was a good deed." , but ended up killing so many innocent people, including Juanzi..."

"That's enough." Fang Jingyu interrupted him, "I won't tell you about our oath to join the army and the original intention of fighting. Anyway, you won't take it to heart, but have you ever thought about it? The consequences of doing it?"

"It's just because this person happens to be a mechanic, so you can say, what if the one who stays is a talent? But have you ever thought that there is still a 99 out of [-] chance that he is An idiot or a spy." Zhang Lin said, "If you leave him, there will be countless unknowns, and if you kill him, no one will know anyway."

"Aren't your subordinates human?"

"They won't tell."

"But they all see it." Fang Jingyu said sternly, "These inexperienced young people will think that our behavior is like this. If one or two people go astray, we can say it is his own fault. If we The team from top to bottom has been contaminated with this kind of bullying and killing innocent people, so what is the difference between us and those psychopaths who pride themselves on killing? Will these refugees trust and support us like this? This is you The reason for being locked up has nothing to do with what kind of person Celeste is!"
