Before the war, after the catastrophe III

The child whined. Sha Xun fumbled for the pistol he had made, thinking about things, all sorts

Memories keep flashing.

"You said that you took a family photo, why did you come now?" A female voice sounded.

"It's better to come early than to come early," Sha Xun replied.

……

"Lao Bai, do you believe them?"

"Who knows? Maybe you were actually passing by. Here, you take a picture of me and my son. ”

……

"That's?"

"Get down!"

......

Just as Sha Xun was immersed in memories, Bai Sha pulled him back.

"Dad, why don't we help them?"

Sha Xun looked at Bai Sha and smiled. Touched Bai Sha's head.

"Because Dad is going to accompany you to the amusement park tomorrow."

His voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone was gentle.

"Then I'm not going to the amusement park tomorrow, can we help the two beautiful sisters?"

"You're not going?"

"My pretty sister has protected me, and I don't think she's a bad person."

"Silly boy, the good and bad of people can't be distinguished at once."

"What if what they say is true? If the bad aliens really developed a weapon, can they beat it? ”

Bai Sha's question can be regarded as asking Sha Xun, and Sha Xun thought about it for a while.

"Well, you go to sleep first, Dad thinks a little longer, and we plan again tomorrow, okay?"

"Oh."

After saying that, Bai Sha got into the sleeping bag on the car and slept quietly.

Bai Sha fell asleep, and Sha Xun rubbed the gun again.

Xiaolan, do you think you should believe it?

The wheels ran over the gravel, and the body trembled slightly. The screen in front of the main driver's seat reads: Autonomous Driving, location: Hove southeast area.

……

The next day, the Double Hack Technology Building.

Syllable!

A pile of documents was thrown on his desk by Wu Kangfan, the president of Shuangqiao Technology.

At this time, in addition to Lu Zixiao sitting on a chair in the office, there was also a poor worm standing in front of the desk - Mi Bin.

"Mi Bin, the company's records show that the thief used your ID card and information last night, what do you say?"

Mi Bin lowered his head at this time, trying to shrink his body, like a child who has made a mistake.

"I ...... I was ...... last night I was stunned, I didn't know it happened...... kind of thing.

Mi Bin's breathing was a little short, and he always had a premonition that something bad would happen, such as being fired.

Mi Bin is a good material for learning, but not a good material for socializing, he is very active and brave in academic seminars, and he is very cowardly in social situations, which leads to his social circle is very small, and he only has a few friends when he grows so big, and the relationship is only his two small hair, a girl, and the other is the man in front of him.

The girl ended up being his girlfriend, and both of them worked at the double-hacking technology company founded by Lu Zixiao. Mi Bin liked the girl very much, but due to his work and personality, they didn't have many opportunities to be together, and sometimes there was a situation in the schedule where one of them was working during a break, so that some employees and colleagues didn't know that they were a couple.

And Lu Zixiao is the best one among the three, because his family is very good, so he went to study abroad for a few years, and after coming back, he created his own company and pulled his two hair children in, and the company has developed like a world to the present.

The three of them have a president, a people director, and a "chief technology officer".

This "science and technology executive" is the title that Mi Bin begged Lu Zixiao to give himself.

"You've been working in the company for several years, and everyone knows your abilities, but this matter is related to the company's reputation, and I can't help you this time!" Wu Kangfan was a little excited.

"That'...... Then my bioparticle......"

"Ah Bin! Can you sober up a bit! This is everyone's company, not your company, not what project you want to do, you do do a few projects, so that the company makes a profit, but you do it yourself one after another, only to understand how to do the project, the company can't afford it! ”

"It was useful! It can be said to be an epoch-making invention! They're ......," Mibin explained, like a parent telling a teacher that his child isn't stupid.

"It's gone! Stolen! ”

"What? Without? Mi Bin's face turned pale, as if he had lost his soul.

"The thing you call the 'last big step' was also stolen."

Mi Bin's eyes widened, he had never felt so uncomfortable in the time he had been awakened to the time he was called to the office.

"Sorry, brother, we have to say goodbye, or everyone in the company will gossip." Lu Zixiao walked up to Mi Bin and patted him on the shoulder, "Now, please pack your things and leave the company." ”

"No, wait, I'm ......"

Mi Bin wanted to save something, but then his phone rang.

It was a message from his girlfriend, a message from him, a breakup.

Lu Zixiao glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

Mi Bin's mood was extremely low.

He walked out of the office, closed the door, and sat down against the door, sitting on the cold floor.

Then, Lu Zixiao's voice came from the office.

"Okay, see you at the back door parking lot...... Yes, he's gone, I really wronged you before...... I originally thought that he would not be easy to get away, but fortunately he has no value anymore, and he will do some useless things, but I didn't expect that this time he actually hitched a ride......"

That's right......

At this point, he accepted reality as usual, just as he had been taught by his father's criticism when he was in school.

He sighed weakly, lifted his round-rimmed glasses, and walked towards his desk.

But to his surprise, there was already someone else in his place.

"Oh! Hello! I'm a newcomer to take your place, I'm really sorry for you, I've already installed your stuff for you, don't thank me. The man said with a smile.

That laughter, like mockery, like ridicule, is not like pity or sympathy.

With a sad face, Mi Bin picked up a large cardboard box on the ground next to the man, and the carton was full of his things: figures, cups, documents, disorganized, it was obvious that these were thrown in casually.

"Mi Bin, wait a minute, that ...... Since you're leaving the company, don't go through the front door, go to the back door and help me get rid of the trash. ”

As he spoke, the man smiled and put a garbage bag full of garbage into Mi Bin's cardboard box.

Mi Bin didn't say anything with a sad face, just watched the man return to the man's place and put a new garbage bag on the trash can.

He left the company, went out the back door, and threw out the trash.

Mi Bin, who was standing next to the trash can, happened to see his ex-girlfriend hugging Lu Zixiao and got into his car.

He knew, but he didn't dare to say it.

Watching the car go away, his eyes were a little red.

But he felt that he couldn't cry, he had to be patient, just like before, patience was over, life, it's always like this.

It was already noon when I returned to the house where I was living with my parents, and Mi Bin's mother had already prepared lunch. The 80-square-meter house was rented by Mi Bin's parents, which was very ordinary, but it was enough, because Mi Bin's father's idea was to take Mi Bin to school and work in the big city, and in order to take care of him, the family moved here, and Mi Bin's parents also found new jobs in the city. Now, they are waiting for Mi Bin to get married, and then they can use the money they have saved over the years to buy a car and a bride price, and they can move back to their hometown with peace of mind. (Mi Bin's high-paying salary has been swallowed up by real estate tycoons)

"Coming back? It's just happening, come over, come over for dinner, and bring back so many things? Put it over there. Mibin's mother said as she busied.

The meal was already laid out on the square coffee table in the living room, and the family sat on the sofa and ate around the coffee table, Mi Bin and his mother sat on the short rectangular side on either side, and his father sat on the long side in the middle.

Mi Bin just lowered his head to eat and did not speak.

"Son, what's wrong today? Why are you upset? Seeing his face, his mother asked with concern.

Mi Bin whispered back that it was okay.

And Mi Bin's father, seeing him like this, saw his cardboard box again, and had the answer in his heart.

"Is there something wrong with your work?" My father's accent spoke slowly in tongue.

His father's inquiry slowed down Mi Bin.

Mi Bin's father is very strong, very tall, and looks very serious, he has been very strict with Mi Bin since he was a child, and hopes that he can live in high society in the future, and he is very decisive and domineering.

The words were like thunder, which made Mi Bin nervous.

Mi Bin put down the dishes and chopsticks and hesitated.

"Hmm...... That one...... I was fired. ”

The father stopped chewing, and Mi Bin became alert.

The father looked at Mi Bin, and Mi Bin didn't dare to look at each other.

"Why did you get fired?" Father spoke very softly.

"That's it...... It is...... The thief last night he ...... Knocked me out, with my identification...... Information enters the experimental area to steal things. ”

"Oh, that's not your fault." After my father understood the situation, he began to eat again.

Mi Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did you and Xiao Lin get married?" Father asked again.

As soon as Mi Bin relaxed, he raised his courage again.

"She ...... me Send a message to say...... said that the people in the company used the appearance of me being knocked unconscious as a laughing stock, and she ...... I didn't have the face to see anyone, so I broke up. ”

"What's that!" Father's tone became much heavier.

Mi Bin's body unconsciously slowly moved to the outside of the sofa, afraid of something.

"No, it's not all my reason, I saw her follow Wu Kangfan later." Mi Bin panicked and spoke in the parent's dialect.

"You're so shitty! His girlfriends were robbed, and his job was lost to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu ...... "My father was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to hit Mi Bin."

Mi Bin used his hands in horror to block the blow after blow, and retreated as he did.

The father was still beating, and the mother quickly persuaded the father.

"Old man, don't fight! He's so old, he knows it himself, don't fight! ”

"You give it to Lao Tzu!" The father continued to thrash hard.

Mi Bin's center of gravity was unsteady and he fell to the ground.

Father got up and went to get a feather duster.

Seeing this, Mi Bin immediately ran out of the door and closed the door of the house.

"Run! You run for Lao Tzu, you run away, I see if you can come back! ”

......

On the other side, the southeast area of Hove. Cina and Muroo are in an old scrap metal factory.

This is the southeastern zone, which is the farthest from the crash site, so it is also subject to the least fluctuations. As a result, half of the buildings in the southeast area are still pre-impacted.

The factory is still well preserved, but many of the roofs of the workshop and some of the high-rise pipes are still blown away or deflated by the impact.

It was getting dark, and the darkness of the night added protection to Cinna's travels, but they still had to be careful, as they were being hunted by a group of Hoves.

"Search carefully, clues show that they are nearby." One of the Hove captains said in Hove to another Hove soldier.

Hove language, a language that humans don't understand at the moment, it's very special, very special Some words sound almost identical, its timbre is like a mixture of bugs and beasts, Hove people say that this is their unique vocal organ can only send out "encrypted communication", in order to prevent it from being deciphered by the enemy, after all, in war, intelligence is the most important thing.

The captain and the soldier went separately, but when they left, a head appeared in the window next to their place.

She cautiously looked left and right, then shrank back.

"Princess, they're gone."

"Then we'll go around it too."

The two were none other than Cina and Omlu, and they were hiding in a small room, which was supposed to be an operation room.

Seeing the soldiers and the captain walking away, the two secretly came out of the room, carefully using large industrial equipment as cover, looking for an opportunity to evade pursuit.

They were fairly skilled, and moved quickly and quietly to the exit.

Seeing that the exit was in front of him, he rushed over his head for a moment, attracting the attention of a soldier. Fortunately, Cina made a timely move and pulled it back, so that she was not directly seen.

But the situation was still dangerous, and the sound that had just been pulled back made the soldier feel that something was wrong, and he began to walk towards the corner where Cina and the others were.

"What's wrong...... was about to ask, but Cina glared at her and motioned for her to be silenced.

Then, Cena picked up two steel bars on the ground, and they had no weapons in their hands, so they had to use local materials. She took one for herself, and gave another for Hum.

And Cina has also thought of a countermeasure - they are around the corner to meet the enemy, if the enemy is close, she will first use the steel bar to hit the enemy's abdomen, the enemy must lean forward with the upper body, the abdomen retracted, and Purr will have the opportunity to hit the enemy head-on, straight to the back of the head, and when the back of the enemy's head is concussion, there will be a moment of brain short-circuit, then Cina will use the steel bar to quickly hit the enemy's forearm, so that the enemy's weapon is out of hand, and Purr can pick up the weapon, in the short period of time when the weapon is activated, Cina will hit the enemy's calf with the steel, causing the enemy to bend his knees, and finally executed by Omlu's shot; If the enemy cautiously moves away from the corner to check the situation, then the rebar will be thrown out by Muroo to distract the enemy's attention, and then Cina will sprint directly to the enemy's head, if the enemy shoots, Cena will block it with a shield, and after hitting the enemy, the enemy will lean back, and Muro will sweep the enemy's calf with the steel bar that he just picked up again, and the enemy will fall down due to the backward shift of the center of gravity, at which point Cna will have the opportunity to hit the enemy's forearm with the rebar, and then be executed by Muroo with a shot.

While there are countermeasures for both situations, for Cna, she prefers to be closer to the enemy, knowing that her shield doesn't contain much energy.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Cena clenched the "weapon" in her hand, ready to go, the air was quiet and scary, the shadow of the enemy appeared in Anna's sight in the moonlight, she saw the shadow approaching this way, closer and closer, closer and closer......

Cna was about to take her by surprise, but she suddenly noticed that someone had fallen from above the enemy, and she ......

Whewβ€”β€”

After a burst of electricity, a shadow fell, and the shadow behind it appeared.

Cna hadn't reacted to what was happening.

"Come out, that Na."

It's Sha Xun's voice!

Cina and Muroo finally breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the corner.

Sha Xun saw Cina and the others walking out with steel bars, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Oops! What are you doing, throwing things away! ”

It was only then that Cina and Mul realized that she was still holding the weapon, and they awkwardly threw it away.

"How do you ......"

"Don't talk, come with me first." Sha Xun interrupted her by pointing at Anna's mouth.

Then, led by Sha Xun, the two walked into a secret passage that was artificially buried under the rubble and escaped from the factory.

The secret passage is very narrow, and it can only be passed in one direction, and Cinna's instinct tells her that there should be many more such secret passages.

While on the way, Murlu whispered to Cina in Hogh, "Has he changed his mind?" ”

"I don't know, but I hope so."

……

The two followed Sha Xun to an underground parking lot under a hidden ruin, about three miles away from the factory.

As Cina and Muroo walked down the ramp, they were attracted to what was in front of them.

Here, there is a sofa, there is a TV, there is a man-made partition room, there is a refrigerator, there is a dining table, there is a kitchen, and this is not an underground parking lot.

It's more like a home, a home under the ruins, a home that glows and warms up in this forbidden area for humanity.

Bai Sha is watching the animal world on TV, about the eagle – an adult eagle who pushes its young eagles off their nests on cliffs, and in order to survive, the young eagles must fight to the death to flap their wings, which is his test to conquer the sky.

As soon as Bai Sha saw Sha Xun and the three of them coming back, he ran over excitedly: "Beautiful sister, you are here!" ”

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Cina smiled back, and Ha Lu was more happy: "Hello, little friend, see you again." ”

"Don't rush to say hello just yet, son, where's the thing?" Sha Xun interrupts the "meeting" between the two.

"Right away." Bai Sha trotted into a partition room and took two things out, "Here comes the thing." ”

Cina saw that Bai Sha was holding what looked like two mechanical collars in his hands.

"You both put it on." Sha Xun handed the collar to Cina and Halu.

"What is this?"

"I made my own collar, as soon as you put it on, I press the button, you will die, I save you today, because after listening to your words, I went to investigate and understand by myself, and found that the group of aliens did have some movement recently, but it doesn't seem to be as serious as you said, just in case, I decided to try to believe your words, after all, I still have a son, I want to make sure that he is foolproof, but this alone is not enough, I also want you to prove your innocence, if you wear the collar, As soon as I'm escorting you to your destination or feel that something is wrong with you during the escort, I'll execute you right away, you know? ”

Cina and Halu thought about it for a long time.

A few minutes later, Cena reached for the collar, tugged at her arm, and said a few words of Hove with a worried look on her face.

And Cina shook her head, also said a few words to Humlu, and calmly put on the collar.

"If things turn out to be what you say, I'll undo the collar and destroy what you call your secret weapon." Sha Xun added, "Also, because I'm an escort, you guys have to do what I planned, understand?" ”

"Alright, we've put on the collar as you said, and I hope you keep your promise, now, tell me about your plan."

"Okay, come here." Sha Xun walked deeper into the parking lot.

As she walked, Cina noticed a lot of thingsβ€”blackboards, chalk, notebooks, pens, a bookshelf of neatly arranged books, toolboxes, weapon cases, and workbenches.

Sha Xun took them to a whiteboard with a sketch of the area that looked like it was hand-drawn.

"I'm here now." Sha Xun pointed to a point on the map, which was drawn with a five-pointed star, "Our first step is to set out here, that is, to get out of the ......"

According to Sha Xun's meaning, Sha Xun and his party need to set off to the nearest wall, pass through the wall, and then walk along the abandoned building ring outside the wall to the nearest wall point to the destination, and then go directly to the destination.

"I have a question!" After listening to Sha Xun's plan, Hmm couldn't wait to raise his hand and ask, "Why do you want to climb over the wall?" Isn't it closer and faster to walk directly from the inside? ”

"That's what you think is a shortcut, the enemy can think so, and my shortcut is a long detour, don't ask, just listen to me."

And after thinking about it carefully, she understood the advantage of this road - there were no pursuers, and the enemy did not dare to approach the wall.

"However, I have to ask before I go," Sha Xun looked at the two of them, "I know that the people of your planet have a special medicine that heals wounds, and in a few seconds it can heal an incision a few centimeters long, huh...... Do you have a black potion? Or have you used it? ”

"Why do you ask this?" Cina was a little alarmed.

"That's it...... I found the identification system for the fence...... It seems to be designed to detect the presence of this substance in the body of life, I haven't used it, so I can touch the wall without triggering it, but the dogs that were originally on Earth that you have polluted and mutated will change the wall a little bit...... What's going on? Because...... You know, if you have this stuff on you, it's a little bit harder. ”

Cina sighed, looked at Omlu, and motioned for Humlu to leave.

"This is a high-tech product of the Hove Star people in medicine, it is not a drug, but a creature, I don't know how you found it, but you are indeed the first earthling to understand this kind of thing, because we did not use this technology as a bargaining chip, when used, the user implants a special creature in the container into the body through injection, and the creature will use the host's body as its 'new home', and when the host's body is damaged, these creatures will quickly repair it." As for this creature, we only tentatively define it as a very small parasite, so what is contained in the container is a swarm of parasites, and this so-called medical medicine can only be possessed by the army, I am in the rear line in the army as a commander, there is, but I don't need it, and Omlu is a servant and is not qualified to have it, so there is none, you can rest assured of this. ”

Cinna's methodical answer made Sha Xun nod slightly in satisfaction.

"Also, clothes, your outfits are too attention-grabbing, I happen to have a few of our human women's clothes here......"

"This won't work!" Cina firmly refused.

"What? Why not? ”

"Our clothes are made of special materials, with electronic components and circuits inside, which are the keys to open the door and the tools of defense."

"Keys? What key? ”

"You'll know when the time comes, and you should want to hurry up, we're running out of time."

Sha Xun chuckled with interest and watched Cina walk towards Humlu.

At this time, Haolu was chatting happily with Baisha.

"Little sister, are there any superheroes on your planet?"

"Superheroes? I want to see it...... Not...... I heard from an old woman that there was a superhero in the early days of Hove who single-handedly fought off a large number of beasts! Uhlu said excitedly.

"Wow! Then he must have a lot of superpowers! ”

"This ...... I don't know, we don't seem to have any official information about him, anything else, ......."

"Hmmm! Time to go. Cina interrupted the two of them in Hogh.

The peculiar voice made the eyes of the two earthlings present - Sha Xun and Bai Sha widen.

What did they say? - Sha Xun uses his mouth to give Bai Sha a mouth.

Bai Sha shook his head and said he didn't know.

After more than ten minutes, everyone came to a place a few hundred meters away from the wall.

It's surrounded by piles of mud and clods of concrete, it's so dark that if you're not careful, you'll be scratched by rusty steel bars that come out of the concrete walls, and if you don't heal them in time, the tetanus bacillus or the unknown germs of Hov Star will kill you, as is always the case in wasteland.

"Woo......" The beast's voice came from all around.

When Sha Xun and his party noticed, they were surrounded by a group of dog-like monsters.

They are large, completely black, with jagged but sharp teeth, and a thick green liquid that flows from their mouths, making them disgusting.

"What is this?" Cna had been in the center before, and she had never seen this kind of monster.

"Don't know? This is your handiwork, these mutated dogs. ”

Cina and Omlu were a little nervous. But Sha Xun and Bai Sha have become commonplace - Sha Xun skillfully takes out a remote control from the backpack he carries with him, and then presses the button.

Bang –

Cina noticed that two unidentified objects were shooting out in two directions behind them, that is, the area where Sha Xun's "home" was located, and these monsters, after reacting for a few seconds, leaned on the ground and sniffed with their noses, moving in the direction where the unidentified objects landed.

"What did you do?" So far, Cina has always expressed doubts about Sha Xun's various behaviors, feeling that he is very strange and unusual, from his words and deeds to the "home" in the basement.

"It's nothing, it's just a little farm manure, it's a dog after all." 15

"What do you mean?"

"Dogs can't change their, you see." After Sha Xun finished speaking, he put away the remote control and continued to walk forward.

Cina and Puru looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Cina smiled, made a disgusted expression, and the two followed.

"Hey, hey! Why are you so disgusting! Hmph said he was puzzled.

"My father said that once upon a time there was a man named Xunzi who said that a gentleman should be good at hypocrisy." Bai Sha replied.

"Anyway, it's a good use. It's not harmful to the environment, it's also good for your own safety, so why not do it? Sha Xun teased with a smile.

"What's both? What not? Yes...... I regret that I only learned your language for a while. ”

"I'm surprised, but you're a geek to come up with this way to avoid the war."

"Dad, what's a geek?"

"A geek is a strange talent."

"Then I'm going to be a geek like my father."

"Don't learn from Dad, if you want to be a talent."

"Oh."

Bai Sha's personality is very likable, and Cina also likes Bai Sha as a child, which makes her feel that the earthlings have something that the Hove people don't have, or have forgotten.

"By the way, what about the child's mother?" Hmpho couldn't help but ask, but as soon as the words came out, she felt that it might not be good to say so.

"My wife...... Over here! With that, Sha Xun took out the gun fixed to his right thigh.

"You call the gun your wife?" Hmm was surprised.

"Can't you? This is very common on Earth. ”

"You earthlings are so weird."

"It's not strange, sister, my mother is inside the wall, too."

"Wall...... Inside? ”

Humlu remembered something, she looked at Cina, and Cina frowned at Hunlu as if criticizing.

"It's here!" Sha Xun stopped.

The four of them walked to the edge of the high wall in a few moments.

The Hove Wall, more than ten meters high, looks like an ordinary concrete wall, but in essence it is an important guarantee for maintaining the relationship between the earthlings and the Hove people. The wall is only the tip of its iceberg, and an important part of it is all underground-all-round automatic arsenal, therefore, its full name is "Hove New Area Multi-functional Counterattack Wall System", and its underground has all kinds of high-power kinetic weapons, energy weapons, and all-round protective covers, it can detect all creatures within range and automatically classify them to determine whether they are aliens, and it has something that no other weapon has - life! Its energy supply system is its heart, and its heart is many, many, so it is designed as an independent unit, controlled by a group of isolated humans, and it stands there quietly, guarding it for more than ten years.

"Where do I go from?"

"From here." Sha Xun let go of his body, and behind him, a hole about a meter in diameter appeared.

"For ......"

"Yes", Sha Xun interrupted, "I don't know if it was left by the cultivators, or if it was artificially pierced, or if it was cut by the dogs, but in short, it appeared under this majestic high wall, and people who work like me will walk here, and from time to time a dog or two will slip out here, huh...... Don't dislike it. ”

Cina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just walk if you can."
