Chapter 41: The Man
Lin Luo closed his eyes and recuperated, but he inevitably heard bursts of crying and wailing in his ears, coming from the row of tents they had just stayed in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Those shouts and pleadings were full of fear, making Lin Luo feel in a trance that she had returned to her previous life, to the bloody rivers and lakes, and to that day that she would never forget.
That day, in the same weather, she was pushed up the platform with seven other children, and the cries and cries of the men were so similar to those now, a longing to live, a longing for the group of swordsmen to stop approaching them, but it was only delusional.
The knife fell, and one by one the fresh lives fell, and blood splattered everywhere, but she did not kneel down and plead, or even show a trace of fear, because she knew that it was all in vain.
She calmly watched as the man holding the knife slowly approached her, raised, and fell, her eyes closed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Asleep?"
Lin Luo opened his eyes and saw Gu Sheng standing in front of him, his expression was a little sudden, and the person in his memory seemed to coincide with the person in front of him. The first thing the man said to her at that time was also - asleep?
However, they are not alone.
Why did I suddenly think of him today? Lin Luo suppressed the complicated emotions surging in his heart, his face returned to his usual state, and said indifferently to Gu Sheng: "Did you hear anything?"
Gu Sheng looked at Lin Luo and vaguely felt that something was wrong with her emotions just now. But if you want to be specific, you can't say what's wrong, it seems that the guard around her is not so heavy, and there is even a soft and fragile smell in it.
Frail? How could this kind of thing appear on Lin Luo. Gu Sheng put this idea aside and began to talk about the situation that would be useful to them.
It turns out that the base in Yang District is now controlled by the government and is under militarized management. Although the base has not been established for a long time, and the facilities are not perfect, all the personnel of the base and the relevant clothing, food, housing and transportation have a set of basic rules and regulations. As long as they are in the base, they must act in strict accordance with the rules of the base.
The base is divided into five areas of ABCDE according to the personal ability of the personnel, the personnel of Area A are mainly senior officials of the base government and the army and the powerful Aliens, who belong to the core members of the base, and Area B is the general Aliens, mainly in the form of squads, and the Category C is mainly composed of mutants and ordinary soldiers, who belong to the establishment of the Self-Defense Forces, which are used to protect the base and cooperate with the Aliens to go out to do tasks.
Mutants and Aliens are a simple division of the type of mutation that occurs in the base. If only one part of the body has been mutated, then it is not considered an alien, but can only be called a mutant or enhancer. Only when supernatural abilities such as water, fire, wind, and thunder appear in the body can one be called a supernatural person.
From the division of the base, it can be known that the Alien is a superior existence to the Mutant.
The rest of Area D is the activity area of ordinary people, as for Area E, the area where they have just been inspected, generally only new recruits will be here, and it is also the outermost part of the base, and the outside of Area E is outside the base, so multiple fortifications have been erected in this area to protect the safety of the base.
The area of the base is arranged in a circle, with Area A at the innermost layer and Area E at the outermost layer, so the relative inner layer is naturally the safest place.
Of course, this division is not absolute, if you have the ability or someone who is willing to pay a large amount of money, then you can also skip the level.
Each area has an information exchange hall dedicated to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the base personnel. As long as the situation of the base can be found there.
However, there is also a restriction on consultation, that is, the base personnel in the high-level area can consult information in the information exchange hall in the low-level area, but the base personnel in the low-level area cannot skip the level to inquire.
"So, if we want to find someone, we have to go to the information exchange hall in Area B first." After a brief introduction, Gu Sheng finally made a summary.
Lin Luo's brows frowned slightly, obviously not getting the answer she wanted: "Then did you ask which area the base research institute is in?"
"No one knows, after all, there are people around here, and it is impossible to know the situation at the top. However, even if there is, I guess it should be in Zone A, after all, it is the only place where the highest secrecy is also best suited for medical research. Gu Sheng shook his head and analyzed his thoughts to Lin Luo.
Although Lin Luo never said it explicitly, he probably guessed that most of the people she was looking for were experts in a certain field.
"Let's go to the information exchange hall in Area B first." Lin Luo thought about it for a while and sat down to decide. She had a hunch that it didn't seem to be so easy to find Dad Lin.
There is strict control over vehicles in the base, and ordinary people are not allowed to drive in the base unless they have a special license plate from the base.
So they parked their cars in the designated parking area, checked in, and walked all the way to Area B with their big bags and small bags.
Because they had concealed their abilities when they entered the base before, they had undergone a total of three inspections from Area E to Area B.
And because they don't live in Area B and just check the information, even if someone like Bai Tan has no special abilities, he also comes in with them, but he must leave the basic information and leave within half a day, otherwise he will be driven away and punished by the law enforcement team.
Walking all the way from Area E, you can clearly feel that the difference in treatment, whether it is housing, clothing, or mental outlook, there are great differences. The closer people are to the central area, the better the living conditions and the higher the safety factor.
This is undoubtedly telling everyone that this is a place where strength is respected. No matter how beautiful you were before the end of the world, as long as you don't have the strength, you can only be a weak person and struggle to survive in the outer areas now.
And the measure of strength is ammunition weapons, excellent physical fitness and abilities. As long as there is one, you can live well here.
When Lin Luo and the others walked into the information exchange hall, there were already many people inside, some of them stared at the big screen scrolling on the wall, some stood at the front desk, and some were looking at something with something in their hands, a lively scene. It's just that without exception, these people are all vigorous and clear-eyed, and they are obviously elites.
Probably because Lin Luo's combination of handsome men and beautiful women plus a fat bird is too eye-catching, although the consultation desk is already full of people at this time, but someone still unconsciously makes way for them, and all kinds of eyes circle around them from time to time.
Bai Tan followed behind and was almost crushed by the luggage, but this did not stop his flying mood.
Looking at the two people walking in front, I couldn't help but sigh, what is aura? This is called aura! Looking at the domineering posture of the boss and Brother Gu, there are many generations of heroes, these people can't be compared at all! I was so discerning to follow them in the first place!
Still, I'm going to get that thing...... Bai Tan seemed to think of something, a frustrated look flashed in his eyes, and he sighed heavily in his heart.
Lin Luo and Gu Sheng in front had already arrived at the information desk, and they were greeted by a round-faced woman in her twenties with a staff armband, and behind her was a large screen that was scrolling, full of various information.
"Hello, I'm Wang Li, the No. 23 receptionist, can I help you?" The receptionist, named Wang Li, has obviously undergone special training, and her every move is very standardized and polite.
She took them aside, an electronic device in her hand, and asked politely.
