CHAPTER XIII

In the shadows, a crow flapped its wings and let out a terrible cry as it flew away from the rubble and quickly disappeared into the shadows...... The child lying on the fat man's back was so frightened by the sudden movement that he shrunk his neck and tightened his hand on the other's neck.

A pair of eyes looked at the young man standing in front of them with fear and adoration.

The cocoon retracted his gaze, as if he no longer wanted to look at the man on the other side of the ruins whose face had become particularly ugly after the conspiracy had been exposed, patted the ash on his sleeve and hung the bow back on his back, turned to Xiao Fat and said, "Let's go, there is a medical room at the end of the corridor, if you are lucky, you can find what you need in it...... Chu Mobai sued me. ”

…… Why does he sue you for this kind of thing?

Xiaopang watched the indifferent young man pass by him, he was stunned on the spot, and quickly put the child on his back to take a step to catch up with the god: "Why are you going to the medical room?" ”

Hearing this, the god glanced at Chubby helplessly, then slowed down, reached over and lifted his pants without waiting for the other to dodge - and then a dark brown at the ankle was exposed by the shadow of the trouser folds...... Fu Shen let go of Xiaopang's pants: "I'm not blind, when I was in the office just now, you can sit and not stand, isn't it injured, what else can it be?" ”

"I accidentally paddled it while running." Chubby smiled, "It's okay, you can still go." ”

"The smell of blood will attract those rats," Fu Shen did not persuade, but explained, "I don't know how many rats have escaped from the real yàn room and become infected with the virus, and if there are many of them, it will be troublesome—"

"This institute is really weird, what a rat and a crow, and a zoo-like reads;."

"Is it strange that there are these in the real yàn room? Raven's words...... I haven't heard of any department raising such a thing, maybe it's newly introduced, right? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Chubby, "If you can't walk, don't be reluctant, I can bring the bandaged things over and help you deal with the wound......

Obviously he was the same age, but the person in front of him always spoke in an old-fashioned way that made people feel that they were being taken care of by him, which made Xiao Pang feel somewhat unconvinced-so although he knew that the cocoon god was well-intentioned, he still refused to stay here and wait, and endured the pain in his ankle as before, and accelerated his pace and walked to the front of the cocoon god: "I said that there is no need." ”

"It seems that the overall quality of high school students in my country seems to be stronger than I thought - both physically and mentally."

"Joy God."

"What?"

"Why are you talking in the tone of an old man in the news network?"

“……”

After the life and death of being chased behind the butt with a gun pointed at him, he was temporarily out of danger and the atmosphere between the three people on this side of the corridor eased slightly, Xiaopang carried Enochhe on his back and chatted with the god of cocoon, the child lay on his back and fell asleep, every time it was the turn of the god of cocoon to respond lukewarmly, he cheered up and looked at the young man silently with wide eyes......

It seems that Enochie really liked his brother as a man.

"Chu Mobai", who has been an only child since childhood, does not quite understand this bond between brothers.

Since there was no way to respond, he could only pretend that he didn't feel the passionate gaze...... They took Chubby to the infirmary, and immediately found that although they were at the end of the corridor, the situation in the infirmary was not very bad, but the resting place inside had completely collapsed and shrouded in shadows, and the cocoon god groped for the approximate location of the first aid supplies in the ruins according to his memory, and when he tried to lift a collapsed metal plate, he heard Enochhe and Chubby behind him let out an exclamation at the same time!

His hand shook, and he was almost so frightened that he smashed the half-raised metal plate back - he asked rather annoyedly, "What is it called?"

Behind him, Chubby covered Enoche's eyes: "Don't bow your head, and don't let go!" ”

He approached as he spoke, then bent down and reached into his hand through the small gap that the cocoon god had raised, and quickly pulled out something - although he moved quickly, the cocoon could still feel him tremble......

"You can put it down." Chubby's voice sounded in the ears of the god of cocoon, "But move slowly......"

I didn't know why, so I could only carefully put the board back...... Turning around, he found that Chubby was holding a shabby bloodstained work diary in his hand - he glanced at it casually and was stunned, and the familiar font on the cover made his heart sink hard.

After Chu Mobai came to the United States, he was unfamiliar with the place and it was difficult to integrate into this real organization for a while because of personality problems, at that time, his real yàn consultant Professor Knott can be said to have given him great support and encouragement, so that later, most of the main design ideas of the work project were carried by this professor's ideas.

In the past ten years, the growing Professor Noether has gradually taken a back seat, and later his power has been quietly hollowed out, dealing only with a few simple marginal essays, and his student Chu Mobai has gone from an obscure participant to the focal core of the organization, for which Noether has always been very proud.

Chu Mobai himself has a very deep friendship with him.

And now, his diary has been pulled out of the rubble with horrific blood.

"It's an old man, and he still has a roll of bandages in his hand before he dies, probably trying to bandage himself, maybe he didn't expect the wall to suddenly fall down......"

"Don't talk about it."

Xiao Fat was stunned for a moment, confused by the low voice of the young man next to him, and the diary in his hand was taken away in the next second, he raised his head to look at Fu Shen, but found that there was no trace of affection on the latter's face.

"I don't want to hear it."

The boy said in an indifferent tone, and as he quickly slipped the journal into his backpack, and without saying a word, turned around and rummaged through the scorched and destroyed metal cabinet......

For a moment, there was some silence in the ruins of the medical room.

The atmosphere that had been finally relaxed before became solemn again.

After coming back to his senses, Chubby felt that the time spent buried in the metal cabinet was a bit long, after all, the cabinet was so big and only half a pull left, it seemed that there was no need to spend so long searching, but before he could ask questions, the boy withdrew from the shadows and threw half a roll of bandages and hemostatic potions to Chubby-

The latter had just bent down to pick up a chair and put the child on his back, and hurriedly took the bandage and the hemostatic potion, and picked up the leg of his trousers to pour the potion...... The rude action made Fu Shen frown frequently: "Why don't you clean the wound and your hands with water, so that you are not afraid of cross-infection when you cover it with medicine?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes wandered around the ruins of the infirmary, and finally stopped at the washbasin where half of the washbasin had been broken, so "Jianyì" directly became a "prayer": "Go wash your hands." ”

"What's there to wash here, don't you have to re-bandage it when you go out, just suppress the bloody gas now...... God, it's not me saying that you've been really like a — "

"Wash your hands."

“…… In the middle of winter, the water pipes have long been frozen. ”

"The base will not," Fu Shen said lightly, "because there are more things that need to be controlled and temperature-controlled, so whether it is the underground-the cold storage where they are placed-or the central air conditioning or hot water used by us humans, these are controlled by a huge constant temperature system twenty-four hours a day......."

"Didn't the real yàn room burn down?" Chubby reached for the faucet, "Then there will be hot water?" ”

"That system won't be ruined lightly." If it were destroyed, it would be the worst that could happen to this institute - the second half of the sentence was swallowed back into the stomach.

The sound of running water was heard.

After a moment of silence, Fu Shen watched Xiaopang retract his scrubbed hand with a calm face, wiped it on his clothes, and then said, "If I am you, I am not so confident to say such things." ”

Fu Shen: "? ”

Fat jumped up and down on one foot to the god of cocoon, stretched out his still somewhat wet hand, and touched the expressionless face of the other party - looking at the face that was quickly defeated by indifference after touching the cold, Fat was still a little proud, smiled and said, "Look, I'll tell you-"

Soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he found that the expression of the god of cocoon did not change color because of the cold, and looked at the young man's eyes that narrowed slightly because of fear—the expression that he really had when he was afraid of something, which was an expression that he had not shown before when facing anything, even the real people who were chasing him with guns.

"What's wrong?"

The little chubby tongue is a little knotted, and I'm embarrassed to say that you don't show this expression I'm afraid. Enoch, who was behind them, didn't dare to say a word, but stared at the two "adults" with slightly wide eyes in confusion and uneasiness.

After a brief moment, the god quickly came back to his senses, his face tense, and he grabbed the backpack that had been placed on the ground and threw it on his back, the movement was so large that the necklace he had hidden under his shirt was thrown out - the necklace with a blue gem on the edge of the gold main body drew a beautiful arc in the air......

"There's something wrong with the thermostat, it's completely unsafe here – if the system has just started to break down from the surface, it's about three hours before it completely collapses, if not......... I can't guess what's going on at the base under our feet right now, you wait for me here, I'll go get the black box, and we'll meet here in fifteen minutes and we'll need to find another way out of here right away! ”

For the first time, the little fat heard the god say so many words quickly and urgently, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

At this moment, the people in the infirmary suddenly heard two terrible crow cries outside the infirmary-before he could react to why the crow that flew away had come back, only to hear a loud "boom", and a heat wave was set off outside the door, and the explosion seemed to give the institute a second ruined blow, and the whole building, including the bottom of them, shook the ground!

"Damn, what's going on?! Those two bastards just came in in a tank?! ”

In a hurry, Fu Shen and Xiao Fat hid under the hospital bed with Enoche, and when the shaking stopped a little, he saw Fu Shen squatting on the other side with a backpack on his face, with a solemn look of thought...... For a long time, suddenly the young man asked a strange question coldly in this situation-

"Chubby, do you know what the crow symbolizes in Norse mythology?"

"What? What? Crow? At this time, you ask me about crows?! ”

"Well," he said, grabbing the strap of his backpack, the god of cocos with an empty expression, "In Norse mythology, the king of the gods is named Odin, and it is rumored that he has two crows perched on his shoulders, symbolizing "thoughts" and "memories" - they fly around the world every morning and come back to report to Odin, and the crow is Odin's eye......"

"I understand the reason, and at this time you tell me this?!"

"Shh Fu Shen pressed his fingers to his cold lips, and in the darkness, he stared at Chubby from the top of his backpack with those dark eyes, shook his head, and whispered with a creepy calmness, "It's coming, that Six." ”

The words of the god of cocoon have just fallen.

The people under the bed heard the slight fluttering of bird feathers, and then two crows flew into the infirmary one after the other and landed firmly on the messy ground...... One of them fluttered its wings and jumped impatiently on the ground, while the other was much quieter, gathered its pitch-black wings, turned its small head accurately, and met the boy under the squatting bed.

At that moment, the air seemed to condense.

It looked at him.

Just like not long ago, when Chu Mobai stood under the petri dish and looked at those red eyes.
