Chapter 8: The Crisis Strikes
The 23 people still continue to live an ordinary life, but since Desen said that there will be no new people, in addition to training, there is an additional experimental check every day.
The so-called examination is to use some instruments to scan the body, and sometimes draw some blood or something, which is not harmful to the body, and everyone does not care.
As for what to do in the laboratory, everyone doesn't understand, but they only know that after each inspection, those people in white coats have to discuss what to do with the data.
After the inspection, I was free, and as the number of people increased, I had a lot more time to move around.
Murong San looked at the people who were laughing and playing, and he also felt that life was quite comfortable, but such days were shattered a year later.
A year later, it was also the third year that Murong San had come here, and on a dull day, he finished training as usual.
However, this time there was no physical examination, Desen gathered everyone, and then called a child out of the queue and followed him, everyone looked at the two people who left, and whispered, and one of the children couldn't help but ask Ye Xin.
"Sister Xin, what did you say Desen did with No. 20?"
Ye Xin shook his head and touched the child's head.
"I don't know, it's never been like this before. β
"I think it's a new experiment for those white coats again, and I guess I'll be back after a while, so there's nothing to worry about. β
Ye Xiao said nonchalantly.
After hearing this, everyone also felt that there was some truth, after all, they hadn't seen anyone do anything for so long, so they put their minds at ease and stopped paying attention.
Murong San looked at the direction in which Desen was leaving, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
However, a day has passed, and the 20th, which was taken away, still did not come back, and everyone was a little uneasy in their hearts, and some were anxious, and asked Desen during training, and Desen just said that the experiment was needed, and there was no need to worry.
The next day, he still didn't come back, everyone was a little worried, and asked Desen, he was still the same sentence, and everyone had no way, except for Desen, they had no other place to ask.
Looking at the impatient everyone, Ye Xin has been comforting and reassuring everyone that it will be fine, and Ye Xiao is not as confident as he was at the beginning, frowning.
On the third day, I still haven't come back!
However, the crowd has not yet recovered from the worries of the 20th, and Desen is about to take another child with him.
This time it was the 16th, a clever girl, and the 20th was a boy, still very young, only a little older than when Murong San first came.
Just as she was about to walk out on the 16th, Murong San grabbed her arm, stopped her, and looked directly at Desen.
"Instructor Desen, I would like to ask why the first child has not returned yet, so why do you want to take another one. β
Desen looked at Murong San coldly, but Murong San continued to look at him without fear, and Desen spoke coldly.
"I've said it many times, it's necessary for experiments, and I want you to know what you're doing, and be careful that I obliterate you here for obstructing official business. β
The astonishing momentum rushed towards everyone, and some of the young people's faces became pale, and their bodies swayed a little.
On the 16th, he took the opportunity to wave Murong San's hand at this time, Murong San was a little stunned, and the 16th showed a smile to Murong San.
"Third brother, don't worry, I'm very smart, maybe I can find 20 this time, and we'll come back together when the time comes." β
Then he walked towards Desen, and Murong San wanted to stop him, but was stopped by No. 7 next to him.
Number 16 walked up to Desen and said with a smile.
"Instructor Desen, don't blame everyone, everyone is also worried and a little anxious. β
Only then did Desen take away the momentum that was putting pressure on everyone, glared at Murong San coldly, and turned to leave.
No. 16 followed behind, looking back at everyone as he walked, his face full of reluctance.
Looking at the two people who were leaving, Murong San wanted to go out to stop them, but No. 7 stopped him, and Murong San looked at No. 7 with some anger.
"Xiao Qi, why are you stopping me!"
No. 7 looked at Murong San and said softly.
"Brother, you have to think about other people around you. β
Murong San woke up.
"Damn!"
Clenched his fists, calmed down, and whispered.
"Xiao Qi, let me go, I'm fine, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. β
Seeing that Murong San had calmed down, No. 7 slowly let go of his hand.
"It's okay, brother. β
The atmosphere was a little depressing, no one was in the mood to laugh, and everyone looked at the two who left, and their mood became heavier and heavier.
Sure enough, a day has passed, and the 16th still hasn't returned, let alone the 20th, which has long since left.
At dinner, everyone had no appetite, sitting at the table, looking at the food on it, motionless, with a solemn expression, even Ye Xiao didn't move his chopsticks, sitting there frowning.
At the table that was originally full, there were two more vacant seats, and a young girl, overwhelmed by this atmosphere, ran to Ye Xin's arms crying.
"Sister Xin, I'm afraid, do you say that they won't come back, and whether I will also be taken away. β
Crying louder and louder.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with me, I will protect everyone. β
Touching the girl's head, Ye Xin said softly, looking at Ye Xin who was comforting the girl.
Murong San's mood became more and more irritable, he exhaled deeply, and said in a deep voice.
"I don't want to make it more uncomfortable, but I want to say that if they don't come back tomorrow on the 16th, then we have to be prepared that they won't come back. β
Everyone's hearts sank when they heard this, Ye Xiao stood up angrily and shouted at Murong San.
"What do you mean they can't come back! Are you saying they're ...... It can't be, absolutely can't!"
Murong San frowned.
"Now I don't know what the other party's purpose is, and I don't know where they are on the 16th, we have to plan for the worst, and we have to prepare for the worst. β
Ye Xiao opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, sat down, and clenched his fists tightly.
"Xiao San is right, we have to plan for the worst, everyone hopes that they can return safely on the 16th, that is the best, but if they don't come back, we have to make some preparations, we can't lose another person, let's rest early today." β
Ye Xin opened his mouth, and then picked up the girl who was already crying and falling asleep in his arms and walked to the bedside, and everyone dispersed one after another, but it was destined to be sleepless tonight.
In the middle of the night, everyone was lying in bed and did not fall asleep, the beautiful and peaceful Xiao sound sounded, Ye Xin sat in the place where he used to watch the night scene with Murong San, and blew Xiao.
In the past few days, everyone's mood is very irritable, Ye Xin used his ability to make a Xiao with the plants outside, Xiao is green as a whole, there are some patterns on it, but it is also exquisite, and the light Xiao sound soothes everyone's inner uneasiness, worry, so that everyone's mood gradually eases down.
Murong San didn't know when he came to Ye Xin's side, looked at the crescent moon outside the window, and listened quietly, for a long time, Xiao Sheng stopped, and everyone fell asleep.
Ye Xin put down Xiao and held it in his hand.
"Little San, did you say that they really couldn't come back on the 16......th? If I had noticed it earlier, I would have been to blame......! It's that I didn't protect them. β
Ye Xin's tone revealed helplessness and sadness, and tears flowed down, Murong San saw that Ye Xin was crying, hurriedly hugged her, stroked her hair, and whispered.
"Don't blame you, no one can know that this will happen, don't worry, they will be fine, you did a good job, don't worry, no matter what happens, isn't there still me by your side." β
Ye Xin hugged Murong San and sobbed in pain, Murong San comforted her, and the two hugged tightly in this way, not separating.
Outside the window, the crescent moon still hung in the sky, but the dark clouds obscured the other stars, and the moon seemed a little lonely at this time.
The next day, on the 16th, they still didn't come back, late at night, everyone gathered at the table, although they were uneasy, but they all looked serious, and Murong San was the first to speak.
"They still haven't come back today on the 16th, and as I said yesterday, we're going to plan for the worst. β
After that, he looked at the crowd and continued.
"According to the calculation, Desen's words should be somewhat correct, the sixteenth they were taken away, it is likely to do some experiment, and this experiment according to my estimate, there should be a lot of risk, so Desen will take one person twice, I estimate that Desen will take another person tomorrow, so we can't continue to take the risk, we should leave here earlier, but we can't be sure whether the 16th is still alive, since it is an experiment, then the sixteenth they are very likely to be in this building, so even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we have to rescue them, but there is no good plan at the moment, to find the sixteenth and then escape, it is too difficultγ β
"People must be saved, no matter how big the price is, as long as they are alive, we must leave with them, we are a family. β
Ye Xin said firmly.
"But the problem now is that we don't know where they are, and we still have to escape, if we just look for them blindly, let alone save people, we are likely to be wiped out. β
Murong San said in a deep voice.
Everyone fell into deep thought, and Ye Xiao said at this time.
"In that case, isn't Desen going to take someone with him tomorrow? β
"But we're not sure who Desen will take tomorrow. β
Ye Xin asked the question.
"It's simple, I'll volunteer when the time comes, I believe that Desen and they are also randomly selected, and they don't care who goes. β
Ye Xiao hurriedly said, everyone nodded, indeed, Desen is also a random person.
Five stepped forward at this point.
"Indeed, what Ye Xiao said is good, and it is indeed a good way, but the person who went was too dangerous, because we didn't know what kind of experiment the other party was, so I suggested that this person should be chosen by me. β
Ye Xiao wanted to speak, but No. 5 waved his hand and motioned for him to finish.
"As for this candidate, it's not that I'm a hero, but everyone here, only I'm the most suitable, I'm tall in age, and I'm the smartest here, and I can also adapt to any emergencies when the time comes, and I have the widest range of knowledge, maybe I can learn something, compared to reckless rescue, this method is the most reliable, after all, even if there is an accident, I'm the only one who loses, so you don't have to say more, just do what I say." β
Ye Xiao still disagreed.
"No, I'll go. β
Opening Five.
"Second brother, your ability is more useful, and you will need to protect everyone when you escape, so you don't fight, it's not too early, let's make a plan first." β
Ye Xin sighed.
"Just according to what Xiao Wu said, it is true that only Xiao Wu is the most suitable, Xiao Wu must remember to pay attention to safety, and must ensure that he is alive first. β
Number Five lifted his glasses.
"Don't worry, Sister Xin, everyone is my relatives, I am reluctant to die, I will definitely come back with them on the 16th. β
"Well, we're waiting for your good news, so let's start planning tomorrow's action now. β
Ye Xin nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, everyone responded, with a serious expression, and discussed it for the success of tomorrow's plan.
