Zheng Rui actually didn't need to take Fang Tong with him, Fang Tong's ability could play a role remotely in the "base area", and it didn't make a difference whether he himself followed or not.

But no one realized this, not even Fang Tong himself. In their mindset, whoever they bring to help means that the person helping has to follow in the sense of physical distance. Therefore, Fang Tong also followed Zheng Rui out of the old staff compound that was originally a tube building, and walked south along the highway.

There is no need for patrols in the commercial area to the north.

On the one hand, the commercial area is farther away, and on the other hand, there are many people in the commercial area, and a large group has been formed in Zheng Rui's theory, and their resistance to aliens is much higher than that of ordinary small groups, so it is unlikely that they will be wiped out and formed into a collective incubator for aliens.

Only less crowded settlements require extra attention. Although the small number of people means that if a person is attacked by an alien and then lays eggs and hatches, the probability of a small group being wiped out is much higher than that of a large group, and the mathematical expectation of them forming a xenomorph nest is greater.

Zheng Rui walked in the shade of the trees on both sides of the road with the Glaive Knife, and Fang Tong followed her diagonally half a step behind.

Fang Tong: Where are you going now?

Zheng Rui: There's a middle school to the south, and I'm going to find some potassium ferricanide or something.

Fang Tong: Didn't you say that you need to check the hatched aliens?

Zheng Rui: It's all by the way.

Fang Tong: Wait, what are you looking for potassium fercyanide? Potassium cyanide?

Zheng Rui: Yes. The repair was too fast, and I had to change the method of suicide.

She just called training the immortal-type ability "suicide", which was a bit unpleasant. Fang Tong didn't respond for a few seconds, and then changed the topic.

Fang Tong: By the way, that middle school is quite big from the outside, it should be a strong school in this city, right?

Zheng Rui: In a private school, just having a big campus is useless...... Moreover, the education level in this district as a whole is not good, and it cannot be smashed by throwing money.

Fang Tong: Really? But judging from the university you attended, your college entrance examination score should be quite high, right?

Zheng Rui: I didn't go to school here. My family lives in the city, and my grandparents are still living in the tube building.

Fang Tong: Yes, Xiaoyou all went to school in the urban area, and it seems that the gap in the city's education level is quite large. But the campus of that school looks really beautiful, at least it's much better than the high school I went to.

Zheng Rui: The tuition fee is not low. And there were rumors before that the school pressed the salaries of teachers...... It is easy to understand that the fundamental purpose of private schools is to make profits.

Fang Tong: When you say that, it feels so dark.

Zheng Rui: Darkness, can't you talk about it? Comrade Fang Tong, in this world where capital operates, don't you still understand it as an active member of the party?

Fang Tong: But we are a socialist country......

Zheng Rui: Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs.

Fang Tong: Didn't you start talking about "state affairs" first?

Zheng Rui: I'm just talking about things and feelings, why do you tell the facts?

Fang Tong: What facts? What did I say?

Zheng Rui realized that he really didn't understand. She couldn't help laughing—probably because the emotional control released by Fang Tong had weakened at this time—she turned her head to look at Fang Tong's confused expression, and couldn't help but think that he was quite funny.

It's just the kind of fun that is stupid and cute.

Fang Tong: Hey, what are you laughing at?

Zheng Rui: It's okay, I just think you're cute.

Fang Tong: Really?

Zheng Rui: Do you have to get to the bottom of this? I'm just talking about my feelings, and I don't — wait, don't go.

Fang Tong: What's wrong?

Zheng Rui didn't answer, she heard a voice in the distance in the Yueji Cong. Although it may also be a small animal common in the suburbs, it is equally likely to be a human.

She pulled Fang Tong behind the locust tree on the side of the road, although the thickness of the trunk could not stop the two of them, it was better than being directly exposed to the open space.

Fang Tong: I saw it, there are really people over there...... It seems to be picking hawthorns.

Zheng Rui: Project your vision onto me – I'm short-sighted and can't see clearly.

Fang Tong directly covered his field of vision on Zheng Rui's field of vision. She could "see" clearly, someone behind the moon bush was picking the fruit of the hawthorn trees in the green belt. From such a distance, I could only see what seemed to be a little girl with long hair, wearing a lake-green crewneck T-shirt, which was supposed to be the summer uniform of this middle school.

There are no buildings as landmarks, and Zheng Rui doesn't remember the location of the school's campus very well. But if you look closely, the green belt with the hawthorn trees should already be on the campus of that school.

Zheng Rui: There are still people, it seems that the school has not "fallen".

Fang Tong: Is that person a student? It looks like there's only one person, do you want to ask about the situation?

Zheng Rui: Don't go, it's not necessarily the students who wear school uniforms. In this case, the uniform may also have been ripped from a real student.

Fang Tong: Why are you so terrible?

Zheng Rui: Our cat passed under the moon bush, she shouldn't be able to see it.

But when her plastic slippers walk on the sidewalk, they still can't help but make noise. Zheng Rui took off her slippers and put them in her hands, feeling a little hot walking barefoot on the sidewalk.

They walked around the moon and around the school's original gate. Zheng Rui asked Fang Tong, who had a vision of 2.0, to maintain the state of projecting a vision for her, and glanced inside first.

The above-ground buildings of the school inside are indeed gone, and Zheng Rui can't tell which foundation is the teaching building, which is the dormitory building, and which is the gymnasium. As far as the eye can see, this private school, which has put a lot of effort into greening, looks like a park after removing the buildings on the ground, and even has lotus flowers blooming in the central pond.

Through Fang Tong's field of vision, she saw that the girl who was originally picking hawthorn in the green belt had already come out of the green belt with a small cloth bag. She did wear the dark blue culottes of the school's summer uniform, but that didn't prove that she was really a student.

It's too far away to guess age by faces.

After picking the hawthorn, the girl went straight to the foundation of the first building to the west, and disappeared into the entrance to the basement.

Zheng Rui: It seems that she lives here, so this school should be "harmless".

Fang Tong: Do you want to go over?

Zheng Rui: Well, I'm still looking for some potassium fercyanide.

Fang Tong: Do you know which building their chemistry lab is in?

Zheng Rui: I don't know, I can only look for them one by one...... If someone finds out, just say that they want to borrow some chemical reagents, and no one should object.

She thought for a moment.

Zheng Rui: Fang Tong, you can find a place in the green belt to cat, and I'll just go. Pay attention to blood renewal, and maintain the unobstructed connection of consciousness.
