16 years

Because the situation broke out too quickly in various places, Liu Ruosong's evacuation was also affected a little.

Because the road conditions in various places have more or less problems, the evacuation train can only stop and go, and rest at night.

Liu Ruosong slept in a chair with his clothes together overnight, during which time he ate two pieces of bread under cold water, and kept simulating the future plan in his mind.

He originally planned to send Shao Xuefan to the car, so he went directly to the moss cultivation base.But then something about the young man happened, and he was worried, so he planned to send the other party to the base before leaving.

Zhao Jincheng and the others acted very quickly—thanks to the zombie virus outbreak just now, the police and military systems across the country have not yet been completely paralyzed. In just a dozen hours, they have completed Shao Xuefan's background investigation.

As Liu Ruosong said, Shao Xuefan’s account has a large number of unfamiliar sources of funds. He opened accounts and personal funds abroad in his own name, affiliated with a certain research institute, in the name of conducting “life pharmacy research”.

This kind of pending scientific research project is usually just a matter of hearing, but in this sensitive period, it is obviously evidence of Shao Xuefan's "bad intentions".

"Since you know him well, I will also hand over the subsequent investigation to you." Zhao Jincheng sighed on the other side of the phone and said, "There is a shortage of manpower now - we have already checked the list of several old professors from the Academy of Sciences. I did, but a group of them are meeting outside, and another group is abroad, and we haven’t contacted the remaining university professors, so I don’t know how the situation is now.”

"It's okay, Uncle Zhao." Liu Ruosong said, "If it doesn't work, I can help."

"Are you okay?" Zhao Jincheng asked.

"I can do it." Liu Ruosong said half-truthfully, "I had a foundation when I was in school. The reason why Shao Xuefan wanted to invite me to shoot before was because my tutor recommended it."

It was several years ago that Liu Ruosong went to college. Zhao Jincheng only knew that he was studying this. He didn't know that his dream when he was in school was to study high-quality Chinese cabbage seeds. He fooled him with a few words.

"That's just right." Zhao Jincheng pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You have helped Uncle Zhao a lot."

After going through three times, Liu Ruosong knew the researchers they could find very well—the old professors who were professionally matched in China could count them on their fingers. Short-term research work.Most of the younger ones held meetings in Pengcheng. Because of the heavy traffic in the conference center, the casualties were very serious.

If Fang Sining hadn't gone to Pengcheng for Shao Xuefan, the other party should be a ghost in the mouth of the zombies now.

Liu Ruosong now extremely distrusted Shao Xuefan, and sometimes even wondered if he knew something was going to happen and that's why he sent Fang Sining out.

Liu Ruosong knew that his mentality was not right, he might have preconceived notions.But he couldn't control himself, as long as he saw Shao Xuefan, he would habitually guess the worst about him.

Before getting on the car in S City, Shao Xuefan discovered the loss of his secret key.

At that time, he was in a panic, he touched his body up and down several times, and looked through the entire VIP hall in surprise, for fear that he had accidentally fallen somewhere.

When Liu Ruosong opened the door and entered, he was hunched over, struggling to look under the sofa.

Liu Ruosong pressed the doorknob with one hand, staring at the other person's back with cold eyes, the hatred in his heart was like maggots on the tarsus, rooted layer upon layer in his flesh and blood.

Until now, he admired himself very much, and admired himself for being able to speak to Shao Xuefan with a peaceful and natural voice in such a situation.

"Teacher Shao." Liu Ruosong said softly, "What are you looking for?"

Shao Xuefan was startled by his voice, turned his head quickly, propped up the coffee table in some embarrassment, and stood up staggeringly.

"No." Shao Xuefan said, "...something dropped."

"What is it, is it important?" Liu Ruosong asked, "Do you need me to call someone to help you find it?"

"No, no need." Shao Xuefan said quickly.

After he finished speaking, he was still very concerned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did you see a USB flash drive?"

"No." Liu Ruosong shook his head, smiled gently with his eyes bent, and asked, "Is it something important?"

"No." Shao Xuefan denied, "It's just...it's just my son's stuff, it's not important."

In the blind spot of Shao Xuefan's sight, Liu Ruosong's fingers holding the doorknob were tightened, and the phalanges were even stretched pale.

No, that thing is very important, Liu Ruosong thought: it contains the first nail that can nail you to death.

Because of the loss of the secret key, Shao Xuefan seemed a little out of his mind in his subsequent itinerary.Liu Ruosong didn't have the time to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and rested his mind as soon as he wrapped his clothes, and fell asleep intermittently throughout the trip.

After dawn, the evacuation train restarted, stop and go, and finally arrived at the Yancheng terminus at noon the next day.

Yancheng Station had already been deployed and controlled in advance. The interior of the train station was cleared, and the responders from Department A Military District took over the arrangement of the evacuation train. Liu Ruosong got off the train with his bag on his back, and unexpectedly saw a familiar face on the platform.

He Tang walked back and forth from the platform with his hands behind his back, and He Feng followed not far behind her, writing and drawing on the notepad in his hand while listening to the communication in the earphone.

The evacuation was carried out in batches. At present, only carriage No. [-] is open. The huge platform is empty, and only He Tang is looking in this direction.

When Liu Ruosong got out of the car, when he looked up, he met her eyes and was stunned.

In his previous life, the people who came to meet the evacuation train were not members of the special operations team, so Liu Ruosong was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Why is it different from the previous life, Liu Ruosong thought, is it a butterfly effect?

Major He was obviously greeted in advance, when he saw Liu Ruosong, he laughed without saying a word.Her eyes are crooked, her face is full of teasing smiles, she is wobbly and full of beard and tail, if it is not for the wrong occasion, Liu Ruosong always thinks that she can jump over in two steps.

Liu Ruosong was stunned, feeling as if he had passed away.

...Long time no see, he thought.

At this moment, Liu Ruosong seemed to be wedged into a nail out of thin air, and he had never been so soberly convinced that fate could be changed.

The dead comrades are still alive, the tragedies that did not happen can be changed, and the ending that has been determined can be repeated.

Liu Ruosong still remembers that when He Feng came back, there was no good place in his body - his legs were broken, his arms were dislocated, and his body was full of injuries.

He fought desperately to see Shao Qiu, not to live, but to bring back the news of He Tang's death.

Liu Ruosong once thought about how He Feng escaped the medical staff and the military sentry and left the C Department military region with a broken leg.But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, and in the end, this incident became an unsolved mystery just like Shao Qiu's bizarre dream.

Liu Ruosong was in a daze for a long time, but He Tang had already walked briskly in front of him.

They haven't met each other in this lifetime, Major Sparrowhawk looked at Liu Ruosong curiously, trying to match him with the "lover" in Fu Yan's mouth.

"Cough... Brother Xiaoliu?" He Tang pretended to clear his throat, and said, "Let me introduce myself, I am—"

"He Tang." Liu Ruosong smiled at her, "Major Sparrowhawk."

He Tang froze for a moment.

"It's our first meeting, hello." Liu Ruosong said softly.

He Tang blinked, pointed to himself, and said, "Hey, brother Xiaoliu, do you know me?"

"Your captain told me." Liu Ruosong smiled and gestured to her armband, and said, "You are the only girl in your team."

"Our captain actually mentions us during his rest time?" He Tang turned pale with shock, as if he had heard something from the Arabian Nights: "I always thought he didn't talk in his sleep!"

Liu Ruosong: "..."

Liu Ruosong's rare feelings were completely shattered by He Tang's two words, and he didn't know how He Tang's brain circuit was long, and the logical jumps were never regular.

Liu Ruosong sighed helplessly, and said, "...that's a right guess, he really doesn't talk in sleep."

However, He Tang refused to give up, and approached him familiarly, insisting on hearing what Fu Yan had to say about her "in private".

Liu Ruosong couldn't resist, and was about to fool around, when he heard He Feng calling her from behind.

"He Tang."

The full name that He Feng said was quite lethal, and it was more than enough to deal with Major Sparrowhawk. He Tang immediately restrained himself, and obediently stepped back a few steps, like a kitten with drooping ears.

"She's crazy." He Feng smiled at Liu Ruosong, "Don't be surprised."

He Tang made a face at him from behind, and He Feng coughed artificially as if he had eyes behind his back.

He Tang immediately obeyed, looked at the sky and the earth, watched the high-speed rail, and quickly went to check the list of No. [-] car one by one with his tail between his legs.

Liu Ruosong watched it amusedly, and his heart that was hanging in the air began to slowly come back to reality because he saw a familiar person.

He Feng tore off a handwritten "Passport" from the notebook in his hand and handed it to Liu Ruosong, saying, "Go down the platform in front, there will be vehicles waiting outside, and they will take you back directly."

"Okay, thank you." Liu Ruosong squeezed the note tightly and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Take the exit with the escalator, don't take the single staircase!" He Tang shouted at him from a distance: "There's a surprise!"

Liu Ruosong was at a loss, and just about to ask about the surprise, he saw that He Tang had already got into the carriage, regardless of killing or burying him.

Liu Ruosong: "..."

He was extremely helpless, but also a little curious, so he followed He Tang's kind "reminder", took a detour, and took the escalator opposite the platform.

Liu Ruosong walked down the out-of-service escalator step by step, and only halfway there, he saw the "surprise" He Tang said.

At that moment, he reacted belatedly to many things - why the person who responded suddenly changed, why He Tang saw his expression so gossip, why He Feng hurriedly took He Tang away and stopped chatting.

——Because Fu Yan was standing there by the sentry post at the exit under the escalator, waiting for him.
