Chapter 2: The White Tribe
Strange things happen.
Obviously, it had been determined that there were no people nearby except for the Mangmang Mountain, but Wei Xuan and Zheng Yihao, who were in charge of the vigil, said that they felt a strange movement. But the nerves tensed for a night, and nothing happened.
During the daytime meal, Wei Xuan yawned and complained: "It's so bad that I haven't rested all night, but Zheng Yihao didn't say that there was a situation." β
Outside the window is a verdant place, in the thick mist, the towering trees and the cascading shrubs are draped in dark green, thick green, deep blue, light green colors, deep and shallow like watercolor paintings gradually fade with the sparse brush and ink. The water vapor is thick, the crystal water droplets stick to the glass window, and the quiet and very quiet deep mountains seem to be shrouded in a cool fog and rain.
Gu Lian held the bowl and swallowed a mouthful of hot white porridge, thinking of yesterday's attack, she couldn't help but say, "Maybe there are really people, it's better to be careful." β
"Sister, I'm so sleepy......" Wei Xuanfeng's eyes rolled, his voice was sweet and soft, and his voice was slightly hoarse because of exhaustion, adding a charm to his innocence, softly leaning on Gu Lian's shoulder, and said pitifully, "My head hurts, you can pinch it for me." β
Gu Lian's shoulders couldn't move as if she had been glanced at by Medusa the moment he approached, and the sweet breath of the little boy floated on the tip of her nose, making her feel difficult to breathe. She maintained a stiff smile and lowered her eyes as calmly as she could, "Uh...... Would you just take a break?"
"Sister, you don't feel sorry for me. The beautiful little boy's expression was dark, with loneliness on his face, which made people unbearable, but a strange smile flashed in his bright eyes, and his delicate white hand gently took her hand, feeling her sudden tightness, and smiled lightly, and his soft fingertips stroked her knuckles.
Sure enough, he was rightβshe wanted to attack him.
From defensive conditioning to offensive conditioning, it seems that my sister has been taken care of a lot in the expedition base......
The beautiful boy snuggled up to her, the darkness in his eyes seemed to be surging in the abyss, and the smile was brilliant like a stand-in for the light.
Gu Lian shivered inexplicably, rubbed her goosebumpy skin, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. It's dangerous...... I almost couldn't help but shoot. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, her psychological shadow on Wei Xuan was still ...... It seems that she trusts her newfound abilities so much that her first instinct is to rely on them to solve them. This is not good, if it is only compared to the ability, she is too far behind these battle-hardened people, if she gives up her real advantage because of the momentary pride, it is called more than worth the loss. She reflected silently, trying to take her mind away from the overly smiling teenager beside her.
On the other side, Fan Ziling stared intently at the palm-sized terminal in his hand, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly because of concentration, and quickly swept over the built-in maps. After a while, the sliding of the screen finally stopped, and the man's fingertips tapped on the desktop, and said thoughtfully: "In the base distribution map updated half a year ago, there is a small base that is no more than thirty years old six hundred and fifty-seven kilometers away, and it should now be under the jurisdiction of the territorial base...... Shouldn't we raise the flag and send the signal? If the flood washes over the Dragon King Temple, it will not be good. The general direction of the team was basically decided by him and Chen Zhi, according to the habit of the past, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhi inquiringly, but happened to see Chen Zhi's eyes, his expression was deep and obscure, and the two of them collided with each other, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Fan Ziling paused for a few seconds, smiled slightly, and said, "What's wrong?
Chen Zhi shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze to look at everyone, and pushed the terminal in his hand to the center of the desktop: "It's not this." Look at this picture. β
Fan Ziling raised his eyebrows, Bai Hengyuan glanced at the two, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, put down his chopsticks, leaned over to take them, and said with a smile: "I'll take a look...... Huh?" When he saw it clearly, he was stunned and chuckled, "I didn't expect this ......"
Gu Lian was a little curious, and leaned her head to look. Her angle was not very good, Bai Hengyuan was too crowded, patted her head, and gave her half a shoulder position, she smiled, and finally could see clearly, and read out word by word: "Distribution map of small and micro independent bases in South China (collating)...... Huh?"
What's going on with this (in the process of sorting), Gu Lian's black line, does it feel unreliable?
"I see. Fan Ziling's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhi, a big smile appeared on his face, and said, "The establishment of small and micro bases does not need to be declared to the seven bases, and most of them will disappear within five years, I didn't expect that there would be such a family within sixty kilometers...... My bad, I completely forgot about this stubble. But it's hard for ordinary people to think of this, how did you come up with it?" Although he was admitting his mistake, there was a hint of joy in his tone. Unlike his usual steadfast elegance and meaningfulness, he looked childlike with a sense of joy and a hint of peace of mind at this time.
So Chen Zhi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his eyes and said quietly: "I suddenly thought of it last night, and I went to check it out." β
Gu Lian shrugged her nose, looked at them left and right, and asked out loud, "Is there any difference between a small micro base and an ordinary base?"
Zheng Yihao said softly: "The seven bases maintain the world order, and in principle, each base has the right to choose independently, but in the case of more than fifty people, or in a special geographical area, the establishment of a base needs to be declared to the seven bases, and the intelligence is updated every two years." Small and micro bases are those with less than 50 people, because such bases are updated quickly, and many of them disappear in less than two years, so they do not need to be declared upwards when they are established, and ordinary people will not notice them. β
Wei Xuan smiled sweetly and said softly, "Who knows when they will all die?"
Feed......
Don't hold her arm and say ahhhhh
Gu Lian didn't seem to understand, and she didn't quite understand the difference between a base of forty-nine people and a base of fifty people.
- But she soon understood.

After walking in the mountains for about half an hour, just when Gu Lian was dying and pale, the car threw over a ridge and drove through a dilapidated ancient tunnel. Suddenly, her expression brightened, only to feel that the eyes suddenly opened up, as if the dark green cover in front of her was suddenly removed, and a number of white single-family buildings rose from the ground in the light green, such as bamboo upright, the flat basin was green, and the sun jumped in the distance, giving the grass a layer of gold, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Two men in white uniforms were waving at the front of the bus. Zheng Yihao sat in the driver's seat, opened the window, said hello to them, and slowly stopped the car.
Bai Hengyuan took the lead in jumping out of the car, and said to them with a smile: "The two brothers have worked hard, we are from the expedition base, and we are about to go to the northwest, I don't know if we can make it convenient?"
The men in white uniforms glanced at each other, and one of them smiled and said, "Of course, of course, we have always been open to the outside world, and we are all glad that you can come." "The attitude was unexpectedly warm and kind.
Gu Lian, who was hiding behind, said to Fan Ziling, who was on guard with a weapon: "Look at how friendly people are. β
"Little girl, you're still talking about me!" Fan Ziling scolded with a smile, "It's indispensable to guard against people, do you understand!"
Bai Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then thank you two." β
"Everyone is a guest, why don't you sit down and rest? We haven't had guests here for a long time, and my family will be happy to see you." The man said.
"Oh......" Bai Hengyuan glanced at them, and then looked at the building not far away. It was silent, and there was no movement. He quietly turned his gaze back, smiled slightly, and said, "It's going to be the ice season soon, and we have to hurry to get there, so we can't delay it, I'm really embarrassed." As a welcome gift, we had a little good wine on hand that we could keep to warm our brothers' stomachs. β
The man in the white uniform swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a hint of greed in his eyes, and the other saw this, and gently poked the man with his elbow. The man seemed to have some scruples, shook his head and smiled: "Don't say that, it's not easy for everyone to know each other in this world, we also have a lot of local game specialties here, and it can be expensive to exchange them for a large base, even if it is for the sake of business, please come in and rest and drink hot tea." β
Speaking of which, if you retreat, it will not look good on everyone's face. A hint of sarcasm flashed in Bai Hengyuan's eyes, but his handsome face had a kind smile, and his tone was brisk like a young boy who didn't understand the world: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and bother the two of you to lead the way." β
The bus reopened, and went a little further inside, getting closer and closer to the central complex. Driving past the sparse white buildings at both ends, the car stopped next to a giant tree in the center, and the small houses on both sides were neatly arranged like the wings of a roc, and the color was as soft and shiny as a white pigeon's feather.
There was a group of people waiting in front of the door, men and women, old and young, Gu Lian was lying by the window, and saw a silver-haired old lady wearing a colorful silk scarf looking at this side with a little girl with braids with a peaceful face, and couldn't help but laugh very happily.
Hope it's a nice place. (To be continued.) )
