How to survive in the wasteland of human cubs

That night, Feng Chen touched Yan Bubu's forehead from time to time.

Fortunately, after his fever subsided, he didn't come back again, and his skin was only slightly warm. After the soldiers came to check his temperature in the morning, Feng Chen's high-pitched heart was only slightly relieved.

If it doesn't repeat itself all the time, it should really be just a cold.

Feng Chen sat on the edge of the bed, pinched Yan Bubu's face, Yan Bubu opened his eyes in confusion, and called out to his brother.

"Are you awake?" Feng Chen asked.

"Need to sleep." Yan Bubu closed his eyes again, mumbled inarticulately, "I... couldn't see you clearly last night, you looked... looked... a big black mass."

"What a big black mass?"

Yan Bubu didn't answer him, and fell asleep again.

Just as Feng Chen was about to get up, his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately asked again: "Yan Bubu, what did you see? What kind of black mass?"

A guess floated in his mind, and this guess made his heart beat faster and his palms began to sweat.

"Yan Bubu, wake up, don't sleep, and answer my question." Feng Chen patted Yan Bubu's face.

Yan Bubu opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked straight at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen immediately released the black lion from the spiritual realm, and as soon as the black lion appeared, it leaned over and stuck head to head with Feng Chen.

"Where are you looking at me now?" Feng Chen held his breath and asked, "Can you still see that black ball?"

Yan Bubu shook his head slowly.

The black lion simply put the big head in front of him, the lion's eyes were full of anticipation, Feng Chen also asked eagerly: "Now? Look again, can you see it?"

"I can't see it. My eyesight is healed now." Yan Bubu said.

Feng Chen reluctantly moved to the side, letting the black lion completely cover his face: "Look again, can you see me?"

The black lion stared at Yan Bubu motionlessly, too nervous to move his eyeballs.

Although Yan Bubu was very sleepy and didn't know what Feng Chen wanted to do, he still tried his best to look in his direction and said, "I can see you."

He saw Feng Chen as a black mass last night, but now his eyes are healed and he can see clearly.

The light in Feng Chen's eyes gradually dimmed, and he sighed: "Go to sleep, continue to sleep, it's okay."

Yan Bubu closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep again.

Just as hope was raised but it was lost, Feng Chen sat down by the bed in despair, he didn't come back to himself until someone knocked on the door.

He went to open the door and saw Yu Yuan standing at the door, and then he remembered that he wanted to go to the underground settlement with Lin Fen to get Lishi.

"I'm here to be a nanny." Yu Yuan nodded to Feng Chen, and stepped into the room.

Feng Chen went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, and kept looking at the situation outside from the mirror.

He saw Yu Yuan standing beside the bed, leaning over to pinch Yan Bubu's nose.A few seconds later, Yan Bubu violently slapped his hand away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your strength is not small." Yu Yuan glanced behind his hands and smiled.

After washing up, Feng Chen didn't go out, but stood at the entrance of the gate, looking at Yan Bubu who was still sleeping soundly, hesitating to speak.

He was a little worried that Yan Bubu would have a fever, but he agreed to Lin Fen to fetch the Lishi. Yu Yuan is already here, so there is really no excuse for not going.

However, Yan Bubu's fever has subsided, even if it is a mutation, it will not be so fast to have a fever again, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Yu Yuan sat down on the chair beside the bed, and said in a leisurely manner, "Go, what are you worried about with me watching over you?"

"...Okay, then I'm leaving." Feng Chen couldn't drag it any longer, turned around and walked out the gate.

He went to the dining hall to have a quick breakfast, and when he got to the deck, he saw a speedboat sailing from the hive of the military headquarters, with Lin Fen standing at the bow.

The speedboat stopped under the hive A, Feng Chen got off the boat along the gangway, jumped onto the speedboat, and drove towards Haiyun City at a fast speed.

.

As soon as Yan Bubu woke up, he called his brother before he opened his eyes.

"Little Curly, your brother went out to do some errands, and he's not here now."

Yan Bubu looked at Yu Yuan beside the bed, and asked in surprise, "Uncle Colonel Yu, why are you here?"

"Qin Shen is not here today, I will accompany you." Yu Yuan stood up, "Come on, get up and wash up, and then I will take you to have breakfast."

Yan Bubu's face gradually sank, looking at the quilt in front of him, he didn't speak or get up.

Yu Yuan asked, "What's the matter? Haven't had enough sleep yet? Is this just venting your anger?"

"Enough sleep, it's not getting angry, it's just unhappy." Yan Bubu said.

Yu Yuan sat down by the bed and said with a smile, "Don't be upset, your brother is going to do business and will be back soon."

"How soon is it?"

"Soon... soon."

Yan Bubu finally got up, put on his clothes, shoes and socks with Yu Yuan's help, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Do you need me to help you wash your face?" Yu Yuan leaned against the door of the bathroom and asked.

Yan Bubu rubbed his face with a towel, shook his head and said, "No need, I will do it myself."

After washing his face, he hung the towel back on the shelf, then turned to look at Yu Yuan: "Uncle Colonel Yu, I want to pee."

"Oh." Yu Yuan stood up straight, "You want me to take off your pants?"

"No, I want to close the door." Yan Bubu said.

Yu Yuan took half a step back, stretched out his hand and closed the door: "Your order, young master."

He was joking, but Yan Bubu replied inside the door: "I'm not the young master."

"Not the young master? Then who are you?" Yu Yuan paced slowly in the room, and reached out to fiddle with Binunu on the cabinet.

Yan Bubu remained silent, only the sound of flushing water could be heard from the bathroom.

Yu Yuan tapped Binunu's head lightly, with a meaningful expression on his face.

After Yan Bubu finished washing, the two went to the dining hall to have breakfast.Today's breakfast was still fish and soybeans, but Yu Yuan thought that Yan Bubu ate too much meat yesterday, fearing that his stomach could not take it, so he took him into the kitchen and found two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.

Yan Bubu has a good appetite no matter what he eats, and he quickly cleaned up the steamed buns and porridge.

"Do you want to eat more? Forget it, don't eat too much." Yu Yuan took back what he had just asked.

Yan Bubu patted his stomach: "Don't eat, I'm full."

Leaving the dining hall, Yu Yuan was about to take Yan Bubu to the big ship of the military headquarters, but just as he walked onto the deck, he suddenly heard a scream from a cabin upstairs.

Then someone staggered down the stairs, leaning on the wall and shouting in horror: "Again, ah, ah..."

The people in the dining hall rushed out and supported him: "What's the matter?"

The man finally regained his breath, and said in a trembling voice: "The couple next door to me were fine before going to bed last night, and now, now they are eaten again, leaving only bones."

.

Putting on the anti-pressure diving suit, Feng Chen followed Lin Fen into the water and swam into the gate of the underground settlement.

After swimming through the entrance passage, Lin Fen signaled him to stand inside the elevator, and then pressed the down button.The elevator clanged, the gears turned, and it descended downward.

Feng Chen grabbed the iron bars to stabilize his body, and quickly sank in the water.

The cave wall in front of him quickly disappeared, and the field of vision became wider.The forehead lamp penetrates the water, and you can see the majestic silhouette of the three beehives, like three tall giants, standing quietly in the dark deep water.

Feng Chen looked at the beehive A. Although a certain room there was small and had no windows, it used to be a safe haven for him and Yan Bubu, and it was their shelter.

He just looked at it like this, and didn't know if this sense of loss was nostalgia, until Lin Fen's voice came out of the headset: "Don't look, it's almost there."

"Okay." Feng Chen replied.

As the elevator continued to descend, Feng Chen gradually felt the pressure brought by the deep water.An invisible weight was placed on his body, and it kept squeezing his chest and abdomen, making it difficult for him to breathe smoothly.

The communicator between him and Lin Fen remained unblocked, so he could hear Lin Fen's heavy breathing coming from the headset.

"Qin Shen, how do you feel? If you don't feel well... just tell me right away."

Feng Chen replied: "Fortunately, I can bear it."

When the elevator descended to almost the bottom of the water, Feng Chen felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and the water pressure on his body was heavier, and he couldn't even lift his arms.

"Now... release your mental power to form a protective shield around your body." Lin Fen ordered.

Feng Chen received the order and immediately summoned his mental power.The thread-like spiritual tentacles, glued together in countless threads, spread out quickly, wrapping around his body like a cocoon.

At the same time as the protective shield of mental power was formed, the pressure that was about to squeeze the human bones together disappeared a lot, and breathing became much smoother.

The black lion also got out of his spiritual realm, sliding its limbs lightly in the water.

Feng Chen looked at Major General Lin, saw the soft light around his body, and used his mental power to put a protective cover on himself.And his vulture was swimming in the water, flapping its wings lightly as if flying in the sky.

When the elevator reached the bottom, dust was knocked out from the ground, and the two followed the two spiritual bodies and swam out through the iron gate.

The Lishi generator room was on the right side of the square. Feng Chen followed Lin Fen and swam forward, passing the iron arms of those excavators and small mine carts scattered on the bottom of the water from time to time.

"Can't we... come back?" Feng Chen asked while swimming.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fen replied, "I can't."

Feng Chen also knew that he would never come back.

The drainage system of the underground resettlement site was blown up, and the accumulated water was hundreds of meters deep. Even if it stopped raining, it was unknown how long it would take to drain the water away.

Maybe one year, two years, maybe ten years, maybe this place will become an underground marsh forever.

The two walked silently under the water, swam across the entire square, and swam to the gate of the Lishi computer room.

"The automatic opening lock of the door has failed. You can only open it manually. I need... your help. I will turn the code dial. After turning it, there is only three seconds to react. You go... push the door."

Feng Chen replied: "Okay."

"Listen to... my instructions..."

Feng Chen stopped at the gate, and Lin Fen swam to the side, opened the camera obscura on the wall, and turned the combination dial inside which looked like a rudder.

Somewhere there was the sound of gears rolling and biting, and a moment later, the door shook slightly, revealing a gap the size of a fist.

"Push the door." Lin Fen's order came from the intercom.

Feng Chen immediately pushed the door with all his strength, and within three seconds, pushed the heavy door open by a distance of one person's width.

Lin Fen swam over, and the two of them entered the gate together. Since their heads were supported by the roof, the pressure on their bodies suddenly eased.

Feng Chen followed Lin Fen, swam past a row of aircrews, and arrived at the Lishi Storage Depot.Lin Fen opened the warehouse door, revealing three airtight metal containers the size of gasoline barrels.

"These three barrels are all Lishi. We only need two barrels, which is completely enough. The remaining barrel will be kept here, and we can pick it up later when we need it."

Lin Fen took out two inflatable bags from the anti-pressure diving suit and threw one to Feng Chen.The two of them put the Lishi barrels into their bags, inflated them, and dragged them out of the gate.

The pressure came back again, Feng Chen simply threw the bulging inflatable bag to the black lion, let it drag it in the water, and followed Lin Fen to swim forward.

"Aren't you going to close the gate?" Feng Chen saw that the gate was still open, and thought of the bucket of Lishi left.

Lin Fen said: "It's hard to close it, don't waste energy, anyway... Anyway, don't worry about anyone."

Feng Chen felt that he was worrying for nothing, so he didn't say anything more.

The direction Lin Fen was heading was not the main elevator, but the military building across the square. Feng Chen didn't ask, but just followed behind him silently.

Lin Fen turned his head several times to look at the black lion with the inflatable bag in its mouth, and then at his own vulture swimming freely in the water. Finally, he couldn't hold back, and said coldly: "Although the spirit body is too big, it looks stupid. , but there are also big benefits.”

Feng Chen caught up with him, stood side by side with him, and spoke with difficulty against the water pressure: "Why are the spiritual bodies... different? Why...why do they appear in the form of various animals?"

The spiritual bodies of the sentinel guides he has seen so far are all animals, of various types, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground.

His spiritual body is a black lion, but he himself does not know why it is a lion instead of others.

Lin Fen swam forward silently, and said after a while: "Most people's spiritual body is an animal, because the mental body is formed as a reference form. The main body must be...alive and real. But after the main body is formed, it can It is allowed to add a little bit of your own imagination, such as... For example, some are several times larger than the prototype, or have an extra tail."

"A real subject?"

"It's not a picture or something imagined out of thin air. It has to be real and vivid, and its...every movement will be recognized by the spiritual domain, and it will be around this image...to generate a prototype of the spiritual body. But it's not sure...no Make sure there are no other forms of spiritual bodies. After all, the sentinel guide has not been around for long, and many things...are still unclear. However, the types of appearances that the spiritual body presents are based on...your own preferences. .”

own preferences?

Feng Chen doesn't think he particularly likes lions. Strictly speaking, he doesn't have a favorite animal.

His previous life was lacklustre, except for training or training, food, clothing and entertainment, he didn't have any hobbies.

"It can also be said...it has had a great impact on you and left a deep impression on you...especially when the spiritual domain was just formed, and when the spiritual body was condensing into a prototype, it became like that..." Lin Fen continued intermittently under the pressure of the water. explained.

Big impact, impressive...

Feng Chen's heart moved, and a song suddenly echoed in his mind: I am riding my big lion to the Binunu Kingdom, hey yo hey yo hey yo, hey lion, hey lion...

It was a song that Yan Bubu often sang, and it should be an episode of his Binunu cartoon.Feng Chen got a headache when he heard him singing this, but for a certain period of time, whether it was taking a bath, eating or taking a walk, he would subconsciously hum this sentence, and the image of a lion would appear in his mind.

And if he didn't think carefully about the phrase "Hey Lion", he would always think that it was a black lion singing in his mind.

Is that so?

Because of the singing that is like a magic sound, I always think of a lion, and then the mental body becomes a lion?

After Feng Chen concluded this point, his expression was a little dazed, so that he was still rushing forward when he reached the military headquarters building, but Lin Fen grabbed him, and then he came back to his senses.

This is not the first time Feng Chen has come to the military building. In the past, when he went to work on the ground, he would come to the military building every day to sign in and receive heat-insulating clothing.But that was all in the lobby on the ground floor, never went upstairs.

Lin Fen led him into the building, and the heavy water pressure disappeared.He handed the inflatable bag containing the Lishi to the vulture to hold it in its mouth, and swam up the stairwell by himself.

Feng Chen also let the black lion stay, and followed Lin Fen himself.

On the fifth floor, Lin Fen opened one of the coded doors: "This is my office, I'm here to pick up something I didn't have time to take away."

Since it was an office, Feng Chen didn't go in, but waited at the door, watching Lin Fen swim to the desk, open the drawer and search for something.

Obviously he didn't find what he was looking for, so he swam to the wall and opened a locker.

"Ah... it really is here."

Feng Chen heard Lin Fen sigh and couldn't help but look over.

From his angle, he could see the locker clearly, and Lin Fen obviously didn't shy away from him, so he opened the door of the locker wide open, and took out a small dark red delicate box from inside.

He opened the lid of the small box, revealing a sparkling ring inside, then closed it, and shook Feng Chen with a smile: "The one Yu Yuan gave me before, you can't lose it."

Feng Chen's eyes were not on the ring box, but his attention was attracted by another box in the locker.

It was a small silver-white metal box, the size of a cigarette box, and the side facing him was a display screen for entering the password, which was exactly the same shape as his password box.

If he didn't know that the box was hidden in the ceiling of the ship's room, he would have thought it was his one.

Lin Fen put away the ring box, put it in the pocket of his diving suit, and took out the cipher box when he closed the cabinet door.

"Like this?"

Lin Fen's voice came out of Feng Chen's earpiece, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "It's hard to say whether he likes it or not."

Lin Fen didn't say anything else, but he didn't put the cipher box in. He closed the cabinet door and swam over, handing the cipher box to Feng Chen.

"If you like it, I will give it to you."

Feng Chen's heart skipped a beat, and Lin Fen continued, "It's empty inside."

"No, I'm not interested in this, or—"

"Take it." Lin Fen interrupted him lightly, "I see you have been looking at it."

Feng Chen could only accept it, and explained bluntly: "Jingjing wants a nice box."

"En." Lin Fen responded noncommittally, and announced a series of numbers, "This is the password."

Lin Fen closed the office door, and the two of them went down the stairwell to the lobby and went out together with their spirit bodies.

The black lion was still swimming in the front with the inflatable bag containing the Lishi bucket in its mouth, but when Lin Fen went to get the bag from the vulture's mouth, it stopped doing it, flapped its wings, and rushed forward with the inflatable bag.

Watching the vulture paddling desperately to overtake the black lion, Lin Fen said to Feng Chen, "It's really childish desire to win."

"It heard you say that it's good to have a big mental body, so... a little unhappy." Feng Chen said.

Lin Fen nodded: "It's always been competitive, it's not like me." After a pause, he added: "Actually, it's stupid to have a big mental body."

After saying this, he continued to swim forward.

Feng Chen floated in place, looked at Lin Fen's back, and couldn't help muttering: "...It's really a childish desire to win."
