"PenPen, we have to be apart for a while, it's not safe here. ”

At the station, Misato holds a fat penguin and puts it in a pet kennel.

"Quack!"

PenPen screamed and patted Misato's face with her little short hand.

"Don't worry, when you get to your destination, my friend will come to pick you up, she is a very caring person, you can stay there in the future." ”

PenPen understood Misato's words and was sent away despite all her reluctance.

Vomit~

Suddenly a wave of nausea wells up in her stomach, and Misato rushed to the bathroom. Because of the occasional morning sickness, Asuka is already suspicious, and Misato doesn't want to go home anymore.

The whole process of pregnancy is a contest between the fetus and the mother. Misato had heard that the more severe the reaction during pregnancy, the deeper the fetus was rooted, and the less likely it was to miscarry. But she felt that what was in her body was not taking root, but laying the foundation! This was a sin, but fortunately, it had recently been reined in and stopped a lot, perhaps because she realized her hard work.

Misato tightened her clothes and returned to NERV for final preparations. Although Dongyue gave her a vacation to raise the baby, how could she possibly settle down. Even if she has a big belly, she has to go to the command platform and fight until the last moment, and she can't let Shinji die in vain.

In the underground base, "Shinji" has just finished training and walked out of the training room.

He was wearing a tight-fitting driver's suit, with a nonchalant expression, and was wiping his wet hair as he walked.

"Hey, Shinji!"

Shinji turned around and saw a short-haired young man in a technical department overalls, leaning against the corner and looking at him.

"You ......"

"I don't even recognize it, is there really something wrong with my brain?" Toji walked over and looked him up and down. "It's hard to see you once, last time you were injured, and outsiders were forbidden to visit, I thought you were hanging, and I was worried for a long time. ”

"It's nothing, I'll go first. Shinji turned and left.

"Hey!" Toji put a hand on Shinji's shoulder, "You guy, what the hell is going on?"

Smack! Shinji knocked Toji's hand off and continued to walk forward.

"What the hell! Tell me clearly!" The grumpy Toji was upset, and directly stepped forward and grabbed Toji's collar.

"Stop!"

That's when Misato appeared.

"Miss Misato!" Toji quickly let go of Shinji.

"Miss Misato, we're just joking......"

"Toji, please come here. ”

As soon as Misato beckoned, Toji followed him......

……

A small town on the southwest border of China.

"Alas, this child's name is Xiao Ying. I picked it up from the garbage heap, follow me, suffer. Old man Yan looked at the little girl in the room who was lying on the table doing her homework and whispered.

"It's not as good as a beast, with such ruthless parents. Then why don't you send it to a welfare home?"

"She has a serious congenital heart disease, who wants to adopt such a defective child? And I went to all the major hospitals across the country, and the doctors said that there was no way to operate on this situation, and that the only way to do this was to use cloning technology to create a healthy heart and replace it, which cost about five million, alas...... Later, I thought, it's better to take it with me, at least I'm strong now, and I can take good care of it, maybe one day she will go before me. I didn't want her to go to school, but this child wandered at the school gate every day, alas...... She was happy every day of her childhood. ”

"Master Yan, if you hadn't saved me back then, I would have rotted into a pile of bones. Don't worry, no matter whether this thing happens or not, I will take care of Xiaoying like my own daughter!" Director Li began to take care of everything, but this idea was sincere.

He couldn't help but have some unforgettable images in his mind.

Fifteen years ago, the second shock triggered a global tsunami, devastated coastal cities and cost more than half of the world's population.

It can only be described in one word: miserable!

It was a real earth-shaking and terrible death. The city was submerged and sank forever to the bottom of the sea. Millions of floating corpses floated on the surface of the sea, and because there was no time to deal with them, infectious diseases were rampant.

The state has mobilized all its forces to maintain order, but there are still not enough manpower, and it is a drop in the bucket.

At that time, Director Li's city was inland, and although it was not affected, the influx of a large number of victims led to a near collapse of social order, and the hungry people frantically robbed supermarkets and shops, and finally developed into gangs to commit crimes, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Director Li has seen with his own eyes that the society is not restrained by violent institutions, and human nature is even more vicious and cruel than beasts.

He realized that he had to solve this chaotic vortex, and when he was about to drive his wife and children to relatives in another city, he was punctured by an iron claw set up by a group of thugs on the road, and his way was blocked.

Seeing that the other party had robbed the property, his wife was going to be ruined, but he couldn't do anything about it. In desperation, a turning point appeared.

I only heard someone shouting: "The zombies are coming, run for your life!"

After the thugs came to their senses, they got into the car at a desperate speed and galloped away, even losing a few shoes, leaving Director Li's family.

Then, Director Li turned around and saw an unforgettable scene: a group of people who could not see the boundary, holding each other's shoulders in front and back, slowly moving forward on the highway. Their clothes were dirty, but mostly intact. The face, hands and feet are pale and swollen, the tongue is bulging, like a white fat man, some of the eyeballs are still hanging on the face, and there are still red, red, yellow and yellow body fluids in the mouth. There was a disgusting stench of corpses in the wind, and there were buzzing black clouds in the air, which were swarms of flying flies...... Only then did Director Li realize that these "people" were not living creatures at all, but walking corpses.

His scalp was numb for a while, and he fell to the ground and couldn't walk, so he could only hug his frightened wife and children tightly.

However, when the corpses came to Director Li's family, they diverted left and right, and continued to move forward, as if they did not exist.

It wasn't until Director Li saw a person with a strange painting style in the corpse group, he was sitting on a broken tricycle and was pulled away by the corpse team. Dressed in a tattered pajamas that are neither white nor yellow, with a bell in his hand, his face almost mummified.

The tricycle stopped in front of Director Li, and the other party untied the strips of cloth on his face, and there were several masks inside. When removed, an old swarthy face is revealed.

"Phew, it stinks, it's going to smoke me to death! Put it on!" the old man said as he threw a few masks to Director Li.

In this way, Director Li met this master named "Yan Zhen".

Old man Yan drove the corpse across the province on a large scale in order to find his missing son's family, claiming that "if you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die". It's a pity that there was such a big commotion, and in the end it was not found, but it alarmed the army, and finally was arrested by two policemen and went to court.

Director Li also mobilized all relations at that time to intercede for Old Man Yan. It is said that he is just trying to prevent the spread of the plague and use corpse driving techniques to centralize the corpses of the victims.

For this unbelievable case, the official did not make a public announcement, treated it coldly, and finally sentenced Old Man Yan to "insult the corpse" and locked him up for three years before he was released.

Old man Yan was in prison, and Director Li also visited from time to time, sending money and goods, and making dots up and down. Later, after the old man was released from prison, he disappeared and lost contact completely, so he went back to his hometown to retire.

In the end, under Director Li's soft grinding and hard bubbles, he finally persuaded Old Man Yan. He took his grandparents and grandchildren to catch a plane overnight, returned to a hotel in a city near the base, settled down, and ran back to the base without stopping after some advice.

As the principal, he couldn't leave for a moment, and it took a day to invite Old Man Yan in person, which was already the limit.

In addition, if you want Old Man Yan to help, you must get General Zhao's consent. This kind of top-secret project can't be leaked to others casually, before he was sick and rushed to the doctor, and secretly showed Old Man Yan a photo of the EVA body, which has seriously violated the confidentiality regulations.

The little girl leaned on the window, excitedly looking at the bustling street in the distance, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Xiao Ying, will this trip delay your homework?" Old man Yan was really worried about leaving his granddaughter alone at home, so he could only let the child ask for leave.

"Don't worry, grandpa, I brought my textbooks and homework, and I won't miss my homework. ”

Old man Yan nodded, "Aren't you having fun coming out this time?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Ying hugged Old Man Yan's arm and nodded violently, patted his chest again, and said: "It was so scary to fly just now, I didn't dare to look out, I felt that my heart was about to jump out, and then it was much better...... I'm so happy to be able to hang out with my grandfather!"

"Do you want to go to school in the city?"

"But...... I don't have any classmates here, huh?"

"It's okay, you can make new friends slowly. Old man Yan silently made a decision.

The little girl, who was unconscious, chattered about what she had seen and heard along the way, and her excitement was overflowing.

Soon, General Zhao was brought to the door by Director Li.

In the hotel room, General Zhao looked at the depressed old man on the other side. The road was tiring, and he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and he was sipping Director Li's treasured tea while recuperating his blood.

Therefore, at this time, the "master" had unkempt white hair, his beard grew wantonly like rice stubble, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, his eyes were dark, and there was an unwashed eye feces in the corner of his eye, which was full of the posture of a poor old peasant.

"May I ask where the master is from?"

Old man Yan waved his hand, "Yan Zhen is a sweet potato seller, and occasionally works part-time, but he will only play superficial tricks, and he can't get on the stage." ”

"Master Yan is modest...... General Zhao shook his head in his heart, and a few people exchanged a few words of awkward greetings, and Lao Zhao beckoned Director Li to the side and whispered: "This is the master of the Tao you invited? He is self-aware, he won't be a swagger, right?"

All kinds of occultism in this world are also popular in various countries, and what human superpowers and psychic experiments have been very popular, and some practical results have also been drummed up.

However, after the second impact, most of the metaphysical theories and research results have failed, but they are not working, and the reasons are unknown. Later, governments around the world interrupted funding for these occult studies, and they no longer burned money. Because there were too many "masters" who swaggered and deceived, those metaphysics that had lost the support of evidence were all branded as feudal superstitions and severely punished, and the social atmosphere improved a lot.

Director Li's face turned red with anxiety, "Haven't you read his file?" I experienced it firsthand, and the other party was a real master, and there was absolutely no falsehood." ”

General Zhao was still skeptical, "I can't tell that he is 98 years old, he is not a fake, right?"

"How is it possible, his family is old and young, and his ancestors are well documented for eight generations. ”

Old man Yan did not mince words to General Zhao, who was in a high position, and looked like a superior person. General Zhao listened to Director Li's deception, and although the facts were consistent with the file of that year and he had not seen it with his own eyes, he was still full of suspicion.

Therefore, Director Li made a color and asked Old Man Yan to show his hand.

"Ahem!" Old man Yan sat cross-legged on the sofa and glanced at Lao Zhao, "Then, let's take a look." ”

Lao Zhao raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.

"You have two children!" Old Man Yan concluded.

As soon as the words came out, Director Li's forehead was sweating, and he whispered to Old Man Yan: "Master, Lao Zhao has three children!"

"Hmph!" Lao Zhao glared at Director Li, patted his ass and was about to leave.

"That's what you think!" Old Man Yan added.

Lao Zhao stopped when he heard this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "What do you mean?"

"As you think, when you wash your hair, do you notice that the water is a little green?"

"Shut up! If it weren't for your age, I would slap you to death......" Lao Zhao's face turned purple with anger, anyone who is slandered as a cuckold king, it is light if he doesn't beat anyone. Director Li saw that the situation was not good, and quickly stopped the angry Lao Zhao.

"Master, you're ......"

Old man Yan raised his eyelids and snorted.

"Didn't you deliberately run away with Lao Zhao?"

"I'm full, have nothing to do?"

The next day, Lao Zhao came to the hotel again to find Old Man Yan.

"Lao Zhao, have you changed your mind?" Director Li saw that his face was discouraged, and he knew in his heart.

Lao Zhao squeaked and said: "The boss is also my child, but because of my special physique, I didn't inherit my DNA...... Chimeras, you should be clear, right?"

"Oh-" Director Li suddenly realized: "I understand, I have seen this kind of case." It is the fetus that absorbs the twin brothers, and the body has the organs of the brothers......"

"Well, Master Yan is really powerful, and even the things I don't know have been calculated. Yesterday I was reckless, and this time I came here to make amends to the master. ”

"It doesn't matter. Old man Yan waved his hand.

However, Old Man Yan's hand has nothing to do with activating EVA, and he can't convince Lao Zhao to agree and solve the problem in a metaphysical way.

So after lunch, Old Man Yan wandered to the nearby vegetable market and picked a chicken skeleton. Then the group went to the morgue of the city hospital, pulled out the body donated by the patient, and began the on-site operation.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Yan didn't start immediately, but held a broken compass in his hand, wandering around the vicinity of the hospital, still chanting words in his mouth.

"Yunken, Shang Yin, Zichen ......"

Director Li and Lao Zhao followed alongside, confused. Watching Old Man Yan chatter while throwing chicken bones in the sewer or flower beds.

Xiao Ying asked curiously, "Grandpa, are you looking for Qiguan?"

The so-called seven passes represent the flow of vitality in a population concentration area. In Maoshan Shu, the seven passes refer to Yunken Pass, Shangxian Pass, Zichen Pass, Shangyang Pass, Tianyang Pass, Yusu Pass and Taiyou Pass, which correspond to the Big Dipper (Greedy Wolf, Jumen, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Pojun) respectively.

"Clever, then do you know the stars after the cataclysm?"

"I'll do the math. The little girl took out a compass in her school bag and wrote something on the homework paper with a pencil.

After going around the hospital for a long time, Xiao Ying's homework paper also recorded dense symbols and numbers, as well as dotted line diagrams of various shapes.

"I've figured it out!"

Old man Yan took Xiao Ying's homework book and nodded while reading it, "Well, it's not in vain that I taught you so many things." It's a pity, you're a girl......"

"Ahem, what's wrong with the girl, you can also inherit your old mantle!" Director Li, who was extremely bored, continued.

"I don't want to put her in jail. Old man Yan replied faintly, and Director Li smiled.

Finally, when Lao Zhao was impatient, Old Man Yan returned to the morgue.

It's full of air conditioning here, and I don't know if it's a psychological reason, Director Li seems to smell a faint fishy smell.

Next, Old Man Yan's technique was sharp, and he took out a piece of rune paper made of toilet paper and pasted it on the corpse's forehead.

What's worse is that Xiao Ying is still moving forward, not afraid of the dead at all, and Director Li can't pull away.

"That's ...... Is it over?" Director Li looked at the motionless corpse on the stage, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Wait a minute. Old man Yan simply squatted to the side and lit a cigarette.

Lao Zhao was full of suspicion, "Why don't we go down and rest for a while?" After turning in the sun for a long time just now, he was about to suffer from heat stroke.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a cold hand put on his shoulder.

Lao Zhao suddenly shuddered, only to feel a cool breath rushing from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover, "My day!"

Years of military career have given him a conditioned reflex. Grabbed that hand directly, twisted his waist and performed an over-the-shoulder throw.

Boom!

There was a bang, and the corpse on the platform was smashed solidly, and everyone was stunned, and Old Man Yan's eyes widened.

When Lao Zhao was proud, the guy on the ground suddenly moved.

"Be careful! Come out quickly!" Old Man Yan shouted, and then pulled Xiao Ying out of the door.

"Fake the corpse!" Director Li took precautions early, and reacted quickly.

Lao Zhao was silent on the surface, but his heart was bursting, this was the first time he had seen a dead person come back to life. He knew that the corpse had been kept fresh here for seven days, and it was by no means a living thing.

He had barely run two steps when he felt his heel being grasped by a pincer-like hand, and when he looked back, he saw a pair of rolled eyes...... The living corpse on the ground was like a cold snake, quickly climbing onto Lao Zhao's body and strangling his neck.

"Old Zhao!" Director Li hurriedly asked Old Man Yan for help: "Master, save him quickly!"

Old man Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and handed him a small piece of jade that was colored garbage, "Use this to stuff it into the corpse's mouth." ”

Director Li hesitated for two seconds, but still stubbornly got on it.

So he pounced on him with fear, pulled the corpse's hair, and tried to stuff the jade piece into his mouth. It's a pity that he didn't succeed after tossing for a long time, and Lao Zhao's face was about to turn black.

He felt that what was pinching him was not a muscle, but a bone, like being pinched by a silverback gorilla, unable to break free.

"Master, if he doesn't open his mouth, he can't get in!"

"Find something to pry open!"

"Use this!" Xiao Ying's face turned red with nervousness, and she still handed over a steel ruler.

Director Li took it with a burst of prying, and with a lot of strength, he finally opened the corpse's teeth and stuffed the jade block into it.

At this moment, the corpse was like a machine that had lost power, and its body stood up and fell straight to the ground.
