Doomsday Yuan

Potholes and uneven ground, stained with all kinds of dirty walls.Yue Zheng and Xu Song were sitting in the pickup, heading towards the base.

They didn't drive their RV, nor did they bring other people back with them. Instead, they parked the RV at a place not far from City B, leaving Mother Xu and the others to wait for the two of them to go back.

After all, the situation inside the base is still unclear, and no one knows if there will be any troubles after returning.

The two drove to the gate and were able to drive the car into the base after inspection.

"The interrogation of entry and exit has become much stricter." Xu Song looked back a few times and said to Yue Zheng.

Yue Zheng nodded and continued to drive inside.

Although there were fewer people on the streets in the base than before, their mental outlook was much better than when everyone left the base.

Driving all the way to the gate of Area A, the interrogation here became more stringent, which made the two of them feel a little inexplicably worried.After waiting for a long time, they were able to enter Area A smoothly until Mr. Wu's n secretary came out to pick them up in person.

"Why is the inspection so strict at the base?" Yue Zheng asked the secretary while driving.

The secretary smiled bitterly: "You will know in a while."

The two looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.Turning to other topics: "We were not at the base a while ago, what happened when those mutant creatures besieged? Will they still come to harass us now?"

It was only when this matter was mentioned that the secretary opened the chatter box, talking endlessly about what he knew and could say at that time.

The three of them came all the way to Elder Wu's villa. After entering, they realized why the base's investigation was so strict—Old Wu was sick.

It wasn't any cancer or heart disease, but because firstly, he was getting older, and secondly, it was said that he was angry a while ago, so he collapsed.

The two sat on the chair beside the bed. The old man on the bed was obviously much older, which made people feel inexplicably sad.

Mr. Wu himself is in a very good condition, and he smiled and asked about some of the two people's experiences outside: "I will take a look at the information you sent me when I have nothing to do. There are some new crop seeds that feel very good. The base It should be able to grow in it—speaking of it, it was thanks to the seeds you sent. There are two crops in it that have a large yield and a fast growth rate. day."

"We also did it casually. If you didn't ask for it at that time, I'm afraid we would have to wait until now, when we return to the base, to bring it together." This time, the two of them brought a lot of seeds and sliced ​​specimens of new species on their pickup trucks. and information on various new species.Some things cannot be transmitted back through simple text and image information, and they need to be sent back to the entity. This time, they were loaded and brought back by the two together.

Mr. Wu sighed, nodded and said: "Young people, it is good if you are as aggressive and exploratory as you are." As he spoke, he shook his head and asked, "You guys said, is there something important? Information to say?"

The two looked at each other, and Xu Song took out a small bag from his pocket. After opening it, it was full of scattered spar fragments.

"This is..." Mr. Wu pinched a piece, looked at the light outside the window, and asked with a frown, "This thing... They seem to have mentioned it a while ago, and found this kind of thing in mutant fish?"

Originally, this kind of glass shards would not attract people's attention. If these things were scattered on the ground, everyone would think that they were just shards of glass, and they might not even take a look at them. However, they were not burned together when they passed through the fire.

The strange thing is that this thing was found on the mutant mermaid.And those mermaids mostly weave nets out of flexible seaweed, and purposely carry this thing close to their bodies.

The two knew in their hearts that the base had discovered this thing as expected, but no one seemed to find their usefulness.

Yue Zheng explained: "This thing is very similar to the thing that was escorted from City Y to City S." Then, seeing Mr. Wu's eyes light up, Yue Zheng continued to explain, "It seems to have a certain effect on the energy of supernatural powers. The reaction, we have not studied the specifics clearly..."

It wasn't that Yue Zheng and Xu Song didn't want to explain the usefulness of this thing to others, but that they reached a consensus after discussing for a long time on the way back to City B.

All weapons and powers are not inherently good or bad, the only difference lies in the people who use them.Now that Mr. Wu is in power in City B, many policies are still not up to order, let alone other people?

Those who own crystal stones can upgrade one step faster than others. Let alone others, Xu Song and the others can't do selfless dedication, let alone those people who have long been fighting for their eyes are not eyes, and their noses are not noses.

But the spar itself still has many secrets after all, they are related to the end of the whole post-mutation, Xu Song and the others dare not and have no way to keep this secret alone.

Although I don't know what sequelae will be caused after taking this thing out, but since those mermaids are using this thing, the base may get this thing from other means, and Xu Song and the others will not have too many problems if they take it out.

There was about 100 yuan in this small bag, and Mr. Wu thought that among Xu Song and his team, which one was more sensitive to the energy that is now filling the world, would realize the strangeness of this stone.Nodding to accept this thing, he said to the two seriously: "This matter is indeed very important, and I will instruct them to take it to the laboratory later."

We did get a few pieces of this kind of stone in the laboratory, but after taking them to test, it proved that this thing is just a kind of crystal similar to diamonds. The researchers think that maybe those mermaids have a hobby of collecting shiny objects, so they can't use it. I will carry this kind of thing with me like a human woman, so after researching it, I put it aside.

But now, Xu Song and the others sent these things again, making them pay attention again.

When the people in the laboratory received the newly brought spar, they unexpectedly discovered—"Oh?! Where are the original stones? Why are they gone?"

"What rock?"

"It's the kind that looks like glass!"

"Isn't it locked in the safe?"

"Gone!!"

Xu Song and Mr. Wu talked for a while, and handed over the newly brought back seeds and experimental specimens to the base, and then drove to exchange for new weapons and ammunition—although they knew which arsenal in the outside world still had weapons , but it’s good to be able to exchange more from the base, otherwise what’s the use of keeping those points?

When the two of them came to the place where the weapons were exchanged, they were a little dumbfounded—some of the heavy weapons before could not be exchanged at all now.Even for the most common weapons and ammunition, there are some exchange restrictions. Each team can only exchange how much per month, and cannot exceed the amount.

"The ammunition in the base is exhausted?" Xu Song asked Yue Zheng in a low voice.

"Maybe it's because the production can't keep up. After all, I just encountered the siege of mutant animals just before." Yue Zheng was relatively calm, and went forward to exchange enough for the maximum limit of this month's exchange, and the two were ready to leave.

The communicator on his wrist suddenly remembered, Yue Zheng saw that it was Mr. Wu's secretary, so he quickly connected.

A mysterious voice came from inside to pick up the two of them: "—The chief asked me to tell you that the few transparent stones that were originally placed in the laboratory safe in the base were stolen."

Yue Zheng froze for a moment: "Stole it?"

"Yes, I haven't found out who did it yet, but I suspect it's an insider... The chief reminds you to pay attention, don't let others know that you have sent this kind of thing."

"Well, we know." Yue Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then the new stone has already been delivered?"

The secretary sighed: "Yes, I just sent them over. After opening the safe, the people in the laboratory found that those few stones were gone. We can only use the seven or eight newly taken stones for experiments first."

After a few more words, the two sides hung up the phone.

Seven or eight yuan, so Mr. Wu didn't send all the crystals there, but just sent some samples.As for the person who stole the spar...

"What was stolen?"

Seeing Xu Song's question, Yue Zheng explained in a low voice: "A few spars were originally stored in the laboratory."

Xu Song raised his eyebrows, those researchers are not children, they have to collect shiny things in their pockets?Whoever holds this thing may have discovered how to use the spar.

The base is indeed not a safe place.The two sighed in unison and prepared to drive away from the base.Ke Xu Song's watch suddenly rang again.

"Mom?" Xu Song found out that it was his mother who contacted him, so he quickly connected.

"I contacted Sister Wu just now. If you are on the way, go and see them... If we still have Fuyu points, you can leave some for them."

"Oh, okay, where do they live now?" Asking the address, Xu Song asked Yue Zheng to drive to the place where the Widows Corps is currently located.

If I can get my mother to call me, maybe something happened to the Widow Legion.My mother is not a sympathetic person after the end of the world. This time, something may really happen.

In order to see the elders, it is natural to bring some gifts with them-anyway, they still have a lot of points left due to the limited number of weapons, so it is no big deal to transfer some to the women of the Widow Legion.

The car turned into the slums of the West District, and the two found the place where the Widows Legion was located in the building area.Get out of the car, stand in front of the door of that building, you can hear the crying inside, the two looked at each other in surprise—they came...is it time?

A group of women surrounded the house, much smaller than the number Yue Zheng saw when he first went to the Widows Corps.In addition to these women, there are several younger boys and girls in the room, less than ten years old. There are only five of them, and they are being hugged by several women. On the face, most of them only have a pair of big eyes left, obviously malnourished.

On the bed at the side of the room, there were two people lying side by side, two women.The rest of the women gathered around and seemed to have just helped them change their clothes.

Seeing someone coming in, and they were still two young men, several children who had never seen Xu Song and Yue Zheng jumped into the arms of the woman beside them in fright.

The women found that the two young men looked familiar, and after a while, they recognized Xu Song and Yue Zheng.

"Are you here?" Sister Wu stood up when she heard the sound, her eyes were red, "I told your mother that you don't need to come over, she still..." She said, rubbing her eyes with her head down.

Most of the women in the room had red eyes, and Xu Song looked at the bed again, only to realize that the two women on the bed had completely lost their breath.
