Chapter 125: Silence and Dialogue

Lin Mo and the boy fell into a long silence between each other, Lin Mo did not speak again, and the boy had no intention of speaking.

The two of them sat in the depths of the alley, neither of them spoke, only the heavy breathing of the boy echoed in the dark depths of the alley, and his wheezing gradually became soothing and slight as time passed.

The two powerful awakened people and mutants did not attack each other or have any more temptations, but only maintained such a strange state of coexistence.

Lin Mo's mentality at the moment was a little weird, he didn't want to follow the instinct of almost a beast to eat the other party to get a new mutation, but he didn't want to walk away.

It's like a child facing a cake in the window, wanting to eat it but being embarrassed that he has no money in his pocket, and he doesn't want to walk away even though he can't get it.

Although the young man's words were colder, he may have been forced by the injuries on his body, and he had no intention of making a move on a strange person like Lin Mo, but the injuries on his body were strangely stabilizing as he said.

Lin Mo guessed the other party's mutation ability randomly, but with his brain and knowledge of physical biology, he couldn't guess any good ideas in the end.

Lin Mo was a little sore.

This kind of silence has been maintained for a long time, but Lin Mo couldn't help it, he tilted his head slightly, looking at the young man next to him, half of the other party's face was covered with blood, looking at the past from Lin Mo's angle, the deepest impression was the other party's indifferent pupils.

It's hard to imagine the eyes of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Then Lin Mo picked up the previous topic after an interval of nearly an hour: "How did you die?" ”

The young man didn't feel abrupt, but this time he really didn't mean to answer, Lin Mo waited for half an hour, and he didn't wait for the young man's answer.

By this time the darkness in the sky had begun to fade - a sign that the long night was coming to an end.

Lin Mo slowly stood up, he still had an urge to kill the seriously injured young man in front of him and then eat the other party's flesh and blood raw, which made it difficult for him to make up his mind to take a step, but now it was not the frantic thinking of the beast that dominated his consciousness.

- He could not allow the mutation in his body to continue and intensify.

Therefore, Lin Mo hesitated in place for a moment, and after taking a deep look at the young man, he turned around and walked out of the alley.

And he only took two steps before the young man, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Do you have anyone you want to kill?" ”

Lin Mo was slightly stunned, turned his head, and looked at the young man who looked at him from this angle and disappeared into the shadows again: "What? ”

"Kill, look for me. If you have enough money, you can kill anyone. ”

The young man turned his face to Lin Mo for the first time in the shadows, and only then did Lin Mo notice that the other half of the other party's face was wearing a smiling black mask.

I don't know why, Lin Mo nodded, and the young man nodded at him as well.

Then Lin Mo walked out of the alley without looking back.

Lin Mo didn't stay and hang out any longer, he returned to Yu Zimo's open-air nest when the sky was white.

The young man had long since fallen asleep, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, as if he was dreaming something rather interesting.

Lin Mo didn't bother him, just sat down against the wall on the other side, squinting at the faint bright color at the end of the sky, eroding and replacing the darkness of the entire sky little by little.

It was a good experience.

Lin Mo suddenly wanted to try what smoke tasted like.

……

……

Lin Mo had arranged Yu Zimo's affairs, and when he returned to the scientific research center, it was almost noon, and he politely declined Diao Hongxin's invitation to dinner.

And Lin Mo also believes that even in the last days, people like Diao Hongxin can get a table of Manchu and Han people to come out.

But Lin Mo didn't have the heart or effort to sell, and he couldn't owe favors, so he returned to the scientific research center early.

On the way back, I didn't encounter any circumstances, and the closer I got to the Fengtian Gene Research Center, the more survivors there were, and the larger it became, some begging, some selling women, some reselling all kinds of messy small things, and even a very small number of food.

Lin Mo looked all the way and almost saw the methods and states of human beings in the apocalypse.

When I entered the Fengtian Gene Research Center, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and it became the real feeling of the 21st century.

Cars shuttle back and forth on the streets, there are many pedestrians, and the streets are also specially cleaned and cleaned, so they look quite neat and clean, which is almost like Fengtian City outside the scientific research center.

It was as if it was a fence built within the city of Mukden.

But as far as Lin Mo knows, the scientific research center and the military are not completely ignorant of the survivors, so it is pointless for them to include these survivors, now it is the end of the world after all, and it is impossible for a huge city to still inertia with the pre-apocalyptic governance policy.

Thus, the top council of Mukden City—composed of the military, representatives of the Awakened, representatives of the able-bodied, powerful former government officials, and scientific research centers, with the aim of jointly negotiating the governance of Mukden City in order to achieve the goal of benefiting from all sides—would regularly distribute food and certain supplies to the city's known registered population, but this "regular" interval was becoming longer and longer; After that, they will also offer certain positions, such as cleaning staff, building the Mukden Wall, etc., for them to earn their own money.

If it weren't for this, the city would have been completely paralyzed, and even if it was defended, it would be a dead city.

The scientific research center is the place where the most awakened people gather in the city, Lin Mo walked all the way from the main gate to his "dormitory" and saw more than two awakened people, which is unimaginable anywhere outside of Fengtian, like Lin Mo and their convoy of four awakened people put outside, it is an absolutely luxurious lineup.

Lin Mo went back to his dormitory, everyone was there, Lin Mo briefly explained what he was doing last night, and then listened to others talk about the situation here.

First of all, the mission objectives had been handed in, and they had harvested a batch of supplies in addition to their daily quota for them, and then the Research Center officially granted them certain permissions, and were told that the next mission assigned to them could be a few weeks away.

Lin Mo was not interested in those, in fact, he was not interested in the entire Fengtian Gene Research Center, except for the research institute in the center, and any other functional area.

However, the privileges they have do not include free access to the research area.

However, another piece of news from Xia Yu successfully piqued Lin Mo's interest.
