When he realized that the atmosphere in the town was a little wrong, Motosui had just finished sucking a bowl of bean sprout noodles that lacked a little salt.

The small cafeteria was crowded with young men and women emerging from all corners. She had been listening with little interest to how the precocious little brother next door was judging the appearance of the little girls in the town, when she suddenly saw most of the head pass by the window.

A face full of fear.

In just ten minutes, this is already the seventh person who passes by the cafeteria with such a tense expression and does not walk in.

She picked up the bowl and blew on the soup noodles with a few pieces of green onions, still burning her tongue.

Forget it, it's none of your business, hang it high. Yuan Sui smiled at the bland noodle soup in his hand, and his movements were quite leisurely.

Liu Xia, who had been watching her all the time, was not there, and Yuan Sui felt that his appetite was obviously much better. Unfortunately, the food here is limited, and it seems that it is not allowed to have another bowl for no reason.

Finished eating. She lowered her head and stared at the square sunlight at her feet, which was imprisoned by the window frame.

There were strange shadows swaying back and forth inside.

I don't know what happened to my former acquaintances now. Yuan Sui put down his chopsticks and patted his head vigorously.

Once idle, the brain seems to waste its limited physiology on meaningless memories and delusions. Yuan Sui brushed the hair around his ears and observed everything around him without a trace.

It's far from the time to worry about others.

"Speaking of which, what about Uncle Qi? Why haven't you come to eat yet? I'm still waiting for the shrimp chips he promised to bring for me. The little girl behind her moved her chopsticks very loudly, and I don't know if she has to knock on the side of her bowl every time she eats.

"I also think it's strange, obviously the head came back in the morning, and Sister Lan Zhi hasn't come to check my homework until now." Another little girl chimed in.

"Ah, you reminded me that I haven't started writing the question I left before I left."

"So you're doing it yourself...... The boss is very strict about serious things. Every time it was his turn to come to the classroom to give a lecture, I would hide away from it under the pretext of standing guard. ”

"You ...... You can't learn anything useful. ”

"What does it matter?" The young girl, whose voice was extremely energetic, did not care, "Anyway, there are leaders here, and we are safe." ”

Yuan Sui stood up and sighed again and again in his heart.

What a group of happy children. Yuan Sui couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I think that when I was their age, they were almost admitted to the military academy, and they lived a life of getting up at five o'clock every day and running three thousand meters around the playground.

Although I am at the bottom of this project every day. At that time, Nie Sha, who grabbed breakfast for herself after running quickly every day, had already passed away.

The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night.

An inexplicable sense of vicissitudes suddenly came to his heart, and Yuan Sui tried to ignore a few vigilant glances and walked sideways through the narrow aisle.

"Yuan Sui! Wait- wait! ”

She had just walked out of the cafeteria when a breathless voice suddenly approached from behind.

Yuan Sui turned around in response, and unexpectedly saw Liu Xia wiping the sweat on her head while trotting towards her.

After cleaning up his complicated feelings, Yuan Sui smiled faintly at the other party, and said softly: "Don't, you don't have to run so hard." I'm not going to run away. ”

The white girl braked hard in front of her eyes, then swayed from side to side like a loss of strength, and had to hold her shoulders and bend over to gasp for air.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Sui actually had a guess in his heart.

Liu Xia's eyes widened, and the hand holding her shoulder subconsciously became harder and harder, and her expression was full of panic that could not be concealed.

"I'll tell you!"

Yuan Sui tilted his head at the voice, just in time to see Wanji, who had always been the most composed in the group, also panting out of breath.

"If you want to gain our trust," the boy pulled Liu Xia back with some force, his tone was very serious, "now there is a good opportunity. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the still scorching sun was no longer as dazzling as it was at noon. Tong Bi'an sat on the half-collapsed roadbed with a slender blade of grass in his mouth and Erlang's legs crossed.

According to the time agreed in advance by his brother, who was always depressed, the few people who stayed behind to search should have been preparing to report the situation in Jinru Town by this time.

But the three men who always spoke to him with guns and sticks still did not return.

Forcefully spitting out the blades of grass in his mouth, Tong Bi'an straightened his waist and stood up with a calm face.

Since he is a person that Tong Siyuan can see, he can't even do basic punctuality. He haphazardly stuffed the little gear scattered along the side of the road into his backpack and looked up at the wasteland on the mountainside.

Three hours earlier, he had seen three blurred figures for the last time circling around it unprofessionally before disappearing into the bare surface one after another.

The location of the back door of a research institute that was destroyed six years ago. According to Tong Siyuan's statement yesterday, it should have been blown up by the children who escaped from it.

Tong Bi'an recalled his brother's perfunctory few words last night, trying to restore in his heart the bloody wind and rain that he had experienced on the land under his feet.

"Underneath the city, there used to be a scientific research institute dedicated to cultivating embryos of the 'gifted'...... If such research can also be called 'scientific research'. ”

"We kindly donated seeds that had undergone radiation contamination to the residents here, and then collected effective materials to make embryos in the name of health checkups. Waiting for these artificially bred children to grow up a little, the useful ones will be kept, and the useless ones will be quietly disposed of......"

"Maybe among your former subordinates, there were also 'gifted people' born like this. I've heard that the remnants of humanity around the world have made various efforts to keep our monster populations alive. It's just that some of these institutions are not good at covering up, or are too eager for quick success, and they are quickly erased by the righteous people......"

"But if you think about it, this kind of institution may still be necessary in certain circumstances at certain times. After all, in the face of group interests, sacrificing the lives of a small number of people seems to be nothing. ”

“…… It's like a 'special forces' cultivated from scratch. ”

"When I passed by, the kids had just made a successful escape...... The eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and the age of awakening ability is not long. The youngest ones were even held in the arms of this group of older brothers and sisters. But when they saw me, some of the children were already very skilled at killing people. ”

"Now some of them have become subordinates who travel with me, and some have chosen to leave silently, but most of them still live in the town in the mountains, living a life of seclusion......

"But perhaps, there are still some undying fellows waiting to resurrect this treasure of feng shui hidden in the mountains. So you'll have to stay and search for a while tomorrow. ”

Plunging headlong into the dense bushes, Tong Bi'an glanced up at the clear sky.

The sky is clear after the rain. Very good weather.

On the night when his former companion was burned to death in his sleep, the twinkling stars filled the sky as always.
