Chapter 3: News of Distant Relatives (Part II)
"Surprise!"
When his eyes fell on a small yellow and white figure in the corner of the photo, Lin Xi screamed excitedly and stood up suddenly.
Because his action of standing up was too violent, the teacups and documents on the table were all knocked to the ground, and the residual tea was splashed, and Wu Qiuli, who was standing next to the table, could only dodge in a hurry.
Lin Xi, who was also splashed, didn't care.
The next moment, he had already grabbed Wu Qiuli's shoulder and shouted, "Is it the only one?" Have you photographed anything else? ”
Surprise is a puppy raised by Lin Xi's family, because Lin Xi's family belongs to the kind of kind-hearted owners who love animals very much, so all along, this puppy named "Surprise" is almost regarded as an official member of the family, and is pampered to the extreme. Wu Qiuli also recognized the little guy at first sight, and then showed it to Lin Xi.
"It's all there for now."
Wu Qiuli nodded, seeing Lin Xi's ecstatic expression, she was also happy and sad, both happy for Lin Xi and worried about her father who didn't know where, it was extremely complicated for a while.
Since coming to the Landscape Garden, the two have never forgotten to find their relatives, especially when Lin Xi sat on the top spot of the research institute, they spared no effort to pretend to be public and private, and squandered the resources of the institute to do this, but unfortunately there has been no progress.
It wasn't until today that Wu Qiuli put this photo on his desk that he finally saw the dawn of finding his relatives for the first time.
Seeing Wu Qiuli's complicated expression, Lin Xi naturally understood the complicated emotions in her heart, restrained her demeanor for a while, and then slowly sat back in her seat and asked, "Where did you take this photo?" ”
Wu Qiuli was stunned, "You don't recognize here?" Not near your home? ”
Lin Xi carefully looked at the scenery in the photo again, shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen it here." ”
"That's weird."
Wu Qiuli hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wouldn't this be a surprise?" ”
There are too many dogs that look alike, and if it's just a photo, it is really difficult to tell the difference between the two dogs in the eyes of strangers.
"No, it won't." Lin Xi narrowed his eyes, carefully looked at the puppy standing on the roof of the small building and barked like a bark, and said with certainty, "This is a surprise, this guy has grown up with me since he was a child, and I am familiar with the color of his coat, even if it is a dog of the same breed, it is impossible to even have the same position of the pattern, right?" ”
"Is that so?" Wu Qiuli pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Then you wait for me, this photo is what I saw in the electronics department, these guys are now thinking about how to establish contact with the remote electronic equipment that can still be used in Star City every day, it is said that some time ago this camera suddenly turned on, uploaded a short video to the switchboard of the information center, I will help you check it out, see where the location of this camera is." ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he pressed the table and stood up, "Let's go together." ”
……
Half an hour later, a researcher with an impatient face, but clearly angry and unspeakable, unfolded a map marked with a red star in front of the two men.
"This is it."
The researcher clicked on the red star on the map.
I don't know if it's the researcher's unanimous behavior, this researcher with gray eyebrows and beard also has the same sloppy as Zhu Shiqiu, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the bad breath that he hadn't brushed his teeth for a long time smoked Wu Qiuli back again and again.
Only Lin Xi didn't seem to care, glanced down at the map, looked at the researcher and smiled, and casually threw a box of cigarettes over.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, he didn't stay long, grabbed the map and turned around and left.
Behind him, the uncle, who was still full of unhappiness, was smiling at this time, and even the tea that Lin Xi drank was only left with tea stalks, so the value of this box of cigarettes in the current landscape garden is naturally needless to say.
"Xiaolinzi, where are you going?" Wu Qiuli trotted to catch up with Lin Xi, who was striding meteor, and asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize the location on the map?" ”
"I recognized it, it's a bank not far from my house."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "It's just that because there is a closer bank in this direction, I have never been there, no wonder I didn't recognize it at a glance." ”
"Banks?"
Wu Qiuli was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
For the survivors of small shares, the bank is indeed an excellent place to survive, the bank building is often very strong, the original security measures only need to be slightly modified to play a defensive role, and the gate, the counter with bulletproof glass and the super heavy vault door, is the natural formation of three lines of defense, the "security" three words to the extreme, and in the bank's security room, usually can also find a certain number of weapons, although not up to the barracks, the police force these places, but at least it is better than nothing, Not to mention that there are generally multiple places of consumption near the bank, and the materials in those places are valuable capital for survival in the last days.
The only question now is, is there any survivor in this excellent place to survive?
After all, only the figure of the alien beast appeared on the screen, and there was no human existence, and in a place like this, whether the camera was turned on by the survivors, or the backup power of the bank's security system was automatically powered, this is a very difficult thing to say.
Moreover, after the cataclysm, many mutant creatures have become extremely ferocious, although the surprise was raised by Lin Xi himself, but after seeing too many crazy pet cats and dogs ferocious and attacking their owners, he is not confident that his puppy can still retain the docile nature of the past.
If it is confirmed that there is only a surprise in the vicinity alone, and there are no other survivor activities, then there is no doubt that the possibility that Dad Lin and Mom Lin are still alive is very small, or even ...... It's possible that it is the murderer!
As soon as he thought of this terrible idea, Lin Xi was so painful that his heart was about to clench.
"Why don't we find a way to connect to this camera and observe?"
Feeling the pain in Lin Xi's heart, after hesitating for a while, Wu Qiuli suggested in a low voice.
"It's useless."
Lin Xi took a breath, shook his head, and said, "I just asked, they only saw this video through the switchboard, there is no way to control the camera, and this camera is a fixed lens, the field of vision is facing the square in front of the bank, and a little farther away, there is a bustling intersection, if there are survivors, these open places that are easy to be hunted and killed, should be absolutely avoided by them, they will not be exposed to the picture." ”
"What then?"
"Go to Mongolia!"
Lin Xi replied loudly without looking back as he walked briskly, "Didn't that guy always want me to go on a mission?" Lao Tzu fulfilled his wishes today and sent out a mission! ”
