Yao Ling was seven years old that year, and Yao Ling was sixteen years old this year.

From beginning to end, she has never seen the ruthless father, the father who will not protect her mother and let her mother cry alone.

"Ling'er asked her mother, what about her father, and her mother said, 'Your father has his own business, don't bother him.' ”

In just a few words of explanation, Yao Ling has not seen his father for more than ten years, and what is even more bitter is his mother, the best youth is spent waiting, waiting for his father who has not seen a few times himself.

Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng listened quietly, no one intervened to disturb Yao Ling, and the two silently listened to Yao Ling tell the story from childhood to adulthood.

"When, when, when."

The hard protective shoes stepped on the cracked ground in the radiation area, making a sound constantly, and for the first time, Ye Bai felt that the distance between the guard station and the radiation area was so close.

The people who got close to the guard station inside didn't have time to go back to see their parents, so close that they seemed to have forgotten their relatives, and became a protective wall between humans and xenos.

Yao Ling's voice slowly faded, and her story was over, but the story in the Dark Age had just begun.

After Yao Ling finished speaking, he reacted to Cao Xiaoseng actually holding himself, his face turned red, and then quickly broke free from Cao Xiaoseng's embrace, and Cao Xiaoseng still had a lazy look, not a little embarrassed, looking at the red-faced and somewhat cute Yao Ling, his eyes changed for the first time.

"Stationmaster, someone has come out of the radiation zone."

At the junction of the radiation zone and the guard station, every move is displayed on the big screen in front of him, Lao Zhu said to the stationmaster who was already asleep in the back, it is said that no one will come out of the radiation zone at this time, or will the ronin team enter the radiation zone to find resources?

Lao Zhu brought the image of the three people who had just walked out of the radiation area and entered the range of the guard station, zoomed it in, and enlarged it. And then with a face full of incredulity, three people who have just broken through the entry level can live in the radiation zone for so long?

"Stationmaster. Stationmaster!! Lao Zhu exclaimed, and walked quickly to the stationmaster who was still sleeping.

"They came out, they came out alive, how did they survive for so long?"

Two days ago, Lao Zhu had already written the report and was about to hand it over to the Purple Star Academy, but after reading it, the stationmaster said: "What does it mean to fight against the unknown xenomorph, and after doing all your best to fight with the unknown xenomorph, you will end up with the unknown xenomorph." You see, one of them is short-lived, and even if one of the three dies, the girl can't be fine. ”

Lao Zhu was stunned by the stationmaster's training, didn't he hand in the report after not coming out of the radiation area for more than five days in the past, how many days has it been this time, why haven't you reported it yet? And it has to be pressed down.

"The report will be put here for you first, and it will not come out in another week, and then I will hand it in, I still don't believe it, it will let her die in the small radiation D area, if she really dies, it is estimated that the entire main city of the Green Forest will set off a wave of wind and waves, and his small guard station is even more duckweed in the rainstorm, and it will sink if it is said to sink."

When the stationmaster left Lao Zhu's room that day, he didn't say anything: "She can't die, she can't die...... ”

Lao Zhu walked over and pulled the stationmaster's arm, the stationmaster's 'fat' body shook first, and then after a long while, the earth-shattering snoring gradually stopped, and his eyes slowly opened, looking at Zhu Neng in front of him, and said, "What happened?" ”

"They're back."

"Who's coming back? Make it clear! "The stationmaster was confused by Lao Zhu's words.

Hearing the stationmaster say this, Lao Zhu remembered that the stationmaster had just woken up and didn't know anything, so he hurriedly explained: "It's those from the Purple Star Academy, who came out of the radiation area." ”

The stationmaster twisted his 'fat' body, and the iron seat creaked.

"Oh? Is it? The stationmaster looked a little surprised, then quickly returned to normal, and said, "Isn't this normal, anyone can die, but she can't die in such a small place." ”

Lao Zhu, who has been with the stationmaster for almost fifty years, saw the change in the stationmaster's face, he didn't say anything, and pressed all the doubts in his heart, just like when their ten brothers were together, the eldest brother would say what he should say, and he couldn't ask what he shouldn't say, but whether he said it or not, it was for the good of their ten brothers.

The stationmaster looked very calm, but in fact, there was a rope hanging in his heart, according to the previous time, entering the radiation area for a week at most would either live, come out of the radiation area, or die, and stay in the radiation area forever.

Ye Bai and the three of them had already stayed in the radiation area for more than a week, and they should have reported the situation to the Purple Star Academy a long time ago, but the stationmaster had inquired about the situation of the three of them in the main city of the Green Forest, Ye Bai and Cao Xiaoseng were both children of civilians, and they had no big background.

But when he released the picture of the medicine spirit, the partner who gave him the information was startled and asked him how he got the picture of the girl.

The stationmaster explained this to the partner who provided the information.

The person who provided the information breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is a dragon crossing the river, it is very big, it can promote you, but it can swallow you in one bite and there is not even a slag left." ”

At that time, the stationmaster was in a hurry, and asked the person who provided the information to hurry up and say, don't waste time, the stationmaster felt that the time he had been waiting for more than ten years seemed to be coming.

The intelligence officer was unhurried, and drank a sip of water before he said slowly, at that time, the stationmaster almost couldn't help but stuff the head of the person in front of him into the toilet.

"It was five years ago." The intelligence officers finally started slowly, and the stationmaster also quietly listened to the beginning of "Crossing the River Dragon".

"I remember that time, I happened to go to the west of the main city to inquire about information, and when I passed through the gate of the medicine house, guess who I met?"

The inexplicable rhetorical question made the station chief annoyed, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "If you don't say it again, believe it or not, I'll put your head in the toilet to calm you down, organize the language well, and then talk !! ”

"Uh......, hehe."

The intelligence officer smiled gently, as if he felt that he had raised the stationmaster's curiosity high enough, and if he continued like this, he would really see him in the toilet, and then he became serious.

"It's the girl in the photo, although five years have passed, the girl's face has changed, but the aura in her eyes and the tear mole have not changed. At that time, I was very surprised when I saw this girl, how could such a big child travel with the senior guards of the medicine house, and then I checked it, and realized that this woman was the little princess of the medicine family, the daughter of the current head of the medicine family. ”

"The little princess of the medicine family, the daughter of the current head of the medicine family......." At that time, the stationmaster touched his chin and felt the slight pain caused by the stubble, and always told himself that this was not a dream, this was not a dream, this was true, and then the stationmaster stood up and walked out of the door.

The person who provided the information shouted at the wrong time: "I haven't paid yet!" ”

Then I saw a black crystal flying from the sky and smashing on the head of the person who provided the information, and the intelligence officer was in pain, but his face was happy, black crystal, a unique product of the radiation area.

"Let's go, let's pick them up." The stationmaster stood up, patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder, laughed, and took the lead in walking out of the war room.

The hideous face of the guard station gradually appeared in front of the three of them, standing as usual at the junction of yellow and green, and the steel city guarded the radiation area, leaving only the black and cracked land to tell the cruelty of the war for a hundred years.

"Little monk, Ye Bai, it's almost time to the guard station."

Yao Ling looked at the guard station in front of him, and he actually felt like he was in a different world, as if the last time he left here was from the last century.

"Yes. It's almost time to get to the guard station! ”

The three of them looked at the guard station and had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, this could be said to be the first time the three of them really came into contact with the outside world, the world without the protection of the three kings, the bloody world of the weak and the strong, and it was also the place where they began to grow.

"Hahaha, the three are worthy of the young talents of the Purple Star Academy, they can see the danger and nothingness of the radiation area, and they have the demeanor of the three kings who led the human race out of the place of survival back then!"

The stationmaster walked in front, Lao Zhu followed behind, although he had heard such polite words countless times, but the corners of his mouth still twitched, he really couldn't imagine that the eldest brother who was resolute and didn't talk much had this side.

Although the three of them said in the stationmaster's mouth, they walked over to the team leader Ye Bai, but their eyes kept paying attention to the medicine spirit beside Cao Xiaoseng, and the more they looked at it, the happier they became, and the more obscene they became.

Ye Bai took a step forward, stopped in front of the stationmaster, blocked the figure of the medicine spirit, and said with a smile: "Stationmaster! ”

"Uh." The stationmaster's smile stiffened slightly, but it immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Heroes are out of boys, heroes are out of boys!" ”

"Haha, let's just stand here, let's go, go into the guard station, and I'll personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."

"Don't bother the stationmaster to break the bank, we will come back to explain to you that the task has been completed, and we will return to the academy immediately."

The time spent on the assessment task shall not exceed half a month each month, and if it exceeds the assessment task, it will be regarded as a failure of the assessment.

The stationmaster had a smile on his face, stunned for a moment, and then said: "No cost, no cost." can't delay Junior Brother Ye for long, could it be that Junior Brother Ye doesn't even give this little time? ”

Following the stationmaster, he pulled Ye Bai half-pulled and half-dragged him to the guard station, and before turning around, he gave Lao Zhu a look and asked him to take care of the little princess of the medicine family.

"The stationmaster really doesn't need it, we ...... back to the academy."

Ye Bai, who was dragged hard, sweated profusely in his heart, and wanted to fight for them for the last chance. Ye Bai really couldn't figure out why the stationmaster was so enthusiastic about them when he came back this time?

It was they who solved the source of the xenomorph riot in Area D, but it wasn't like this, it is said that there will be xenomorph riots every year, and the webmaster will experience such a thing every year, it is nothing more than the failure or success of the mission of the person who came, and the stationmaster should have been accustomed to it, how could he be so enthusiastic?

And the more Ye Bai looked at the stationmaster's greasy face, the more he wanted to tear off this face and put it on the ground and stomp on it a few times. You don't care about a girl like Yao Ling, after all, Yao Ling is young, beautiful and energetic, but what's the matter with looking at him smiling?

In this way, Ye Bai was pulled into the guard station by the stationmaster.
