How to survive in the wasteland of human cubs

After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Su's narration, Feng Chen said: "Since the two of them can't be found, the cryptex box is the key now."

"A cipher box?" Lieutenant Colonel Su and Wang Ping looked at Feng Chen together.

"Where's the cryptex? Can you get it? I want to see it."

Lieutenant Colonel Su said: "We don't even know where the cipher box is."

Feng Chen pondered and said: "The research institute said that the cryptex box it received was fake, so who was it that received the cryptex box at that time?"

Lieutenant Colonel Su immediately sat up straight: "His name is Kong Siyin, he was the director of the research institute at that time, and he received the cipher box from Major General Lin."

"Have you investigated this man?"

"Investigated. Before the earthquake, he was the director of the Earhart Institute of the United States. He belonged to neither the Eastern Union Army nor the Western Union Army. His identity background is also very clean, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

Feng Chen asked: "After that happened, did you ask him about the situation at that time?"

Lieutenant Colonel Su shook his head: "His status is very detached, and our military rank is not high, so we can't get close at all."

"If I want to get close to Kong Siyin, can you think of a way?"

Lieutenant Colonel Su said: "Think of a way... In fact, we don't need to think of a way, the two of you can get close to him."

"What do you mean?"

Lieutenant Colonel Su smiled at Feng Chen: "He is now the dean of the Sentinel Guidance Academy."

"You mean to let the two of us enter Shaoxiang Academy?" Feng Chen hesitated: "But if the dean has a problem, he found me and Yan Bubu..."

"Don't worry, only a few of us know that you gave the cryptex to Major General Lin. And I have followed the major general for many years, knowing that he is cautious, and he will definitely not mention you when handing over the cryptex, and will fabricate a source."

Feng Chen blurted out: "Why?"

As soon as he asked this sentence, he guessed the answer in his heart and closed his mouth in silence.

After staring at him for a few seconds, Lieutenant Colonel Su said: "He said when he went to the central city that after delivering these people safely, he will return immediately to pick up you and Little Curly... Regardless of Little Curly No matter what it has become, I will try to get it into the city."

Wang Ping glanced at Yan Bubu, and added: "I heard that he was discussing with Colonel Yu about building a house. The walls of one of the rooms are made of metal, and a thick layer of cushions is laid. The people in the room will not hurt themselves."

Yan Bubu bit his lip, lowered his head and picked Feng Chen's pants at his knees with his fingers, Feng Chen held his hand.

When the two returned to the resettlement site, Wang Ping offered to take them to the bus station.Walking out of the gate, he glanced at Binunu who was sitting in Yan Bubu's bag, and said, "The people on the first floor are ordinary people, basically no one can see it."

Yan Bubu smiled: "It likes to sit in the bag."

Feng Chen asked: "How is the ground floor and the second floor allocated? Who lives on the ground floor and who lives on the second floor?"

Wang Ping thought for a while and said, "Why don't I take you to see the bayonet, so that you can have a clearer understanding of Central City."

The bayonet of Area A on the first floor is nearby. Wang Ping took the two of them on a walk and introduced as they walked: "The central city is divided into two floors, and the bottom floor is for people who have not experienced mutation. To become a sentinel guide or recover as an ordinary person, you have to move to the second floor, separated from the people on the bottom floor. The Eastern and Western Allied Forces have headquarters on both floors. There is a separate area on the second floor, where the key protected research institute, sentinel college and children's welfare home are located. If there is no special reason, the Eastern and Western coalition forces are not allowed to enter."

There were a lot of people lined up at the checkpoint, and there were heart-piercing cries of children: "Mom, you go with me, Mom, I don't want to go alone..."

The three of them approached and saw a soldier holding a six or seven-year-old girl. She was holding tightly to her mother's hand in front of her, crying out of breath.

"Be good, my good girl, you have recovered and become an ordinary person, you can go to the second floor, and come to see you after your mother has passed the mutation period. Be good, there are many children on the second floor, they can play with you... ..." The mother was also reluctant to part with her daughter, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still cruelly broke off her daughter's fingers one by one, turned around and ran towards the resettlement site.

"Mom, mom..." The little girl was carried by the soldiers through the checkpoint, and the crying gradually faded away.

Wang Ping sighed: "I can't help it. There are many children like this in the orphanage on the second floor. After they recovered and became ordinary people, their parents took the initiative to hand them over to the soldiers before they passed the mutation period."

"Then what if the parents are cured and the child hasn't gone through the mutation period?" Yan Bubu felt sour in his heart.

Wang Ping was silent for a few seconds: "Most parents will choose to stay on the lower floor to accompany their children."

Several soldiers with live ammunition stood at the bayonet, blocking those who wanted to squeeze into the bayonet.

"It's not that you don't know that you can only go up with the proof that you have passed the mutation period."

Someone said anxiously: "I already had a fever two days ago, and I passed the mutation period safely, I can go up."

"What you say doesn't count. It needs to be marked in your identity information after the medical officer examines it."

"I don't want to stay on the bottom floor for a day. I hear zombies scratching the bottom of the bed every night. I haven't fallen asleep for many days." Someone cried loudly.

The soldier said: "Everyone is suffering like this, and you are not alone. Although we guard you at this checkpoint, we have not passed through the mutation period, so we can only be at the bottom? You cry here every day. What is the use?"

Yan Bubu stood behind in a daze, Feng Chen understood what was going on in his heart, and patted him comfortingly on the shoulder.

Sitting on the bus at the resettlement site, Yan Bubu rested his head on Feng Chen's shoulder, shaking slightly with the body.

"Are you going to that academy tomorrow?" He asked softly.

Feng Chen hummed: "Shaoxiang College and Research Institute are both on the second floor. When we enter the College, we can get close to Kong Siyin and enter the Research Institute."

"Into the research institute?" Yan Bubu looked up at him.

Feng Chen stared sideways out of the window, the light fell on his side face, from his high nose bridge to his sharp chin, it outlined a perfect line.

"Yes, since the status of the research institute is so detached and does not belong to any of the Eastern and Western Allied Forces, then Kong Siyin is likely to keep the cryptex box in the research institute. As for whether the cryptex box is genuine or not, just take it and have a look. "

Yan Bubu began to pick a button on his chest again: "Then we will go to the academy tomorrow and find Uncle Colonel Yu and Major General Lin quickly."

Feng Chen knew that he would pick things when he was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything, he just held his hand and held it in his palm.

Binunu was not very happy all day, and just sat in the cloth bag sullenly.

Yan Bubu asked Feng Chen inquisitively: "Since we are going to the academy, we are not afraid of others seeing the Quantum Beast, right?"

Although Wang Ping said that no one at the bottom could see Binunu, it would be better for the two of them to be cautious if they wanted to hide their identities.

"I'm not afraid anymore." Feng Chen leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Binunu, do you want to come out?"

Binunu stretched out his small claws to push his face away, silently picked up the cloth bag cover and covered himself.

The bus arrives at this moment and the doors open.Feng Chen looked at the bulging cloth bag and smiled, and the black lion quietly appeared in the empty carriage.

It took two steps forward, gently touching the cloth bag with its black nose.

The cloth bag cover was lifted quickly, and Binunu poked his head out, looking at the black lion expressionlessly.Then he jumped down from the cloth bag, took two steps towards the car door, and looked sideways reservedly, as if to see if the black lion was following.

Hei Shixin understood, and hurriedly followed.

When returning back, the platform where they stopped was opposite to the departure platform, Feng Chen took Yan Bubu out of the car, and within a few steps, Binunu suddenly rushed to the left, lying on a huge metal net and yelling towards the bottom.

Hearing the howling of zombies below, Yan Bubu went over to persuade it: "Leave them alone, there are zombies all over here, you can't shout."

Binunu couldn't get up, but stretched out his small claws to dig into the grid and scratch.Through the mesh, Yan Bubu saw the hideous faces crawling on the huge metal pillars below, and subconsciously looked away to the side.

Turning his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a loose screw at the grid connection beside Binunu. When the zombies pushed the net up, the thumb-sized nut trembled, as if it was about to pop out at any time.

"Look, brother, it's loose here." Yan Bubu quickly pointed to the place and said to Feng Chen.

Feng Chen came over and took a look, and saw a group of soldiers passing by behind him, he hurried over and told them about the loose nut.

"Oh, it's okay. Nuts will loosen in many places in this city. A professional maintenance team will check them every day. They will come over later, don't worry."

The soldier didn't pay much attention to this matter, and left after answering.Feng Chen looked around, picked up a piece of iron wire on the side of the road, twisted out a ring the size of a nut with his fingers, put it on the loose nut and tightened it little by little.

"There's another one here." Yan Bubu noticed that there was also a loose nut next to it.

Feng Chen tightened the two nuts, looking at the zombie holding onto the huge metal net and shaking constantly, a layer of worry floated in his heart.

The central city is all spliced ​​with huge metal plates. According to the soldier, there are often loose nuts everywhere in the city.Although there is a professional maintenance team to check, but in such a situation where it is too late to find out, there may be mistakes.

After checking all the grids, Feng Chen threw away the wire in his hands and clapped his hands: "Let's go."

Binunu was still scratching at the zombie under the grid, but the black lion grabbed it by the back of the neck and walked away.

Entering the resettlement site where people come and go, Binunu is still uncomfortable.It rides on the back of the black lion, with its two small paws tightly hugging the neck of the black lion, and its face is buried in its long mane.

It's lunch time now, the two of them took their lunch boxes and went to the cafeteria to get some food. After eating, Yan Bubu yawned and climbed onto the bed.

"Don't you never take a nap?" Feng Chen put the washed lunch box into a duffel bag, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yan Bubu.

Yan Bubu rubbed his eyes: "It's always dark today, I always thought it was time to go to bed at night."

Feng Chen chuckled: "Then go to sleep."

Yan Bubu moved a little inside, and patted the empty space beside him: "You sleep with me."

"Aren't I accompanying you?"

"No, I want you to lie down with me." Yan Bubu was feeling drowsy, his voice was very soft, with a long tail, "If you don't lie down with me, I won't be able to sleep well..."

"It's so good." Feng Chen put down the bed curtain and lay down next to him, "If you want to sleep, go to bed quickly, don't move around."

"Ah."

Yan Bubu rested his head on his shoulder and rubbed it, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Feng Chen took out a book from the luggage bag and leaned on the bedside to read it, and fell asleep unconsciously.

With the black lion around, Binunu's discomfort was relieved a lot, and he no longer curled up on the bed, and was carried around the resettlement site by the black lion on his back.

When Yan Bubu woke up, he just opened his eyes and saw Feng Chen lying beside him.

Feng Chen was still sleeping, breathing steadily and quietly, with a book resting on his chest.

Yan Bubu didn't move, and didn't call out to him, but just tilted his head and watched quietly.The light came in through the curtains, with a touch of orange, adding a bit of softness to Feng Chen's handsome eyebrows.

There are people walking around in the house, the TV on the wall is playing the news on a loop, and there are people talking in the passage outside the door.But in this small world separated by curtains, it is quiet and peaceful.

Feng Chen's long eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes, revealing those deep eyes.He immediately turned his head to look at Yan Bubu, and he happened to meet his gaze.

Yan Bubu smiled at Feng Chen, and reached out to touch his face.Feng Chen half-closed his eyes and asked, "How long have you been awake?"

"It's been a while. I've been lying down and looking at you since I woke up. It's been a long time." Yan Bubu said frankly.

"Are you quite righteous?" Feng Chen's voice was still hoarse after waking up, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and murmured: "05:30, we actually slept all afternoon, it's really scary..."

"What's so scary? Anyway, if you don't sleep, you have nothing to do." Yan Bubu said.

Feng Chen sighed: "It's scary, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"It's us." Yan Bubu added.

Feng Chen shook his head: "No, you will sleep deader than a pig."

After dinner, the two sat on the steps outside the dormitory area, discussing in low voices about going to the academy, and did not return to the room until the soldiers informed them to check their temperature.

At night, except for the occasional cry of a child, the entire resettlement site was quiet.Amid Yan Bubu's regular snoring, Feng Chen lay on the bed, quietly looking at the top of the bed in the darkness.

Feng Chen gently pulled out the arm that was under Yan Bubu's head. Hearing Yan Bubu's restless dream, he leaned over the bed and patted it gently for a while after he got out of bed. He didn't open the door until he fell asleep again. walked out.

Black Lion and Binunu don't need to sleep, they are wandering around in the resettlement site.After receiving Feng Chen's mental order, the black lion took Binunu back to the door to guard.

There was a team of soldiers on duty at the gate of the resettlement site, and when they saw Feng Chen approaching, they all turned to look at him.But Feng Chen didn't intend to go out, he just stood behind the fence made of barbed wire and looked into the distance, the soldiers ignored him.

The night wind was cool, and the searchlights illuminated the distant wilderness from time to time, and people could be seen moving in the snowy beam.

Zombies, sleep talking, pale lights, crying children, and soldiers asking tiredly from time to time make up the cold night of this steel city.

Feng Chen stood for a long time, and did not prepare to go back to the room until his trouser legs were stained with moisture.As soon as he turned around, he noticed something unusual, and looked to the right suddenly.

This settlement is large, and there is also an entrance and exit on the right, where it is not illuminated by lights, and it is plunged into darkness.

Feng Chen walked over slowly, and when he was about to reach the entrance, something kicked him suddenly, and he rolled to a spot illuminated by light.

That's a nut.

Feng Chen walked over to pick it up, and after seeing its shape and size, his heart shivered, and he immediately turned his head to look around.

The open space in front of it happened to be the junction of two huge metal plates, one of which was covered with floor tiles that had been removed and scattered around.

With the help of the light not far away, Feng Chen saw clearly that the huge metal net under the floor tiles was pulled down, hanging dangling in the air.

"Help! Zombies!"

A shrill scream came from the resettlement site, Feng Chen secretly thought that the sound was not good, and he was about to rush into the entrance passage immediately.But before he turned around, he saw a zombie crawling out of the gap in the huge metal net.

Feng Chen drew out his dagger and stabbed at the zombie, but he dodged it sideways, and quickly leaped to the ground, his figure was as flexible as a living person.

Feng Chen missed the blow, and the dagger stabbed out quickly again, and at the same time mobilized his mental power to stab the zombie's skull.

The zombie didn't dodge, let the dagger stab into its chest, pinched Feng Chen's throat with its long-nailed hand, and opened its mouth to bite him.

Feng Chen sideways avoided the zombie, and at the same time found that the outer layer of its skull was also covered with a soft membrane, which blocked the mental power he pierced.

He instantly thought of the zombies he met in the Valley of Abel's Tears when he came to Central City.

Feng Chen no longer used mental power to attack, but only waved the dagger in his hand, stabbing at the zombies repeatedly.This zombie is different from ordinary zombies who only know how to attack and bite recklessly, and also have certain body skills, which makes it difficult for Feng Chen to deal with it.

After avoiding the zombie's bite again, he caught a glimpse of another zombie's head emerging from the gap in the huge metal mesh next to him.Before the zombie climbed up, he leaped forward, and when it fell, the blade pierced it, piercing into its sky cap.

Gunshots rang out inside and outside the resettlement site. The soldiers on duty at the gate rushed into the resettlement site. There were also troops coming on the street, and the piercing sirens rang throughout the central city.
