In the tunnel, the convoy drove slowly, and the two ends were filled with orange and yellow tunnel lights, shining into the dim carriages, and there was always an inexplicable sense of security.

Caleb opened the window of the truck, letting the wind blow into the compartment.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling that his whole person was completely new, different from the murky air outside.

The shelter is home to many species of plants and various air purifiers, large and small, and the air quality is the same or better than pre-apocalyptic life.

The soldiers on the side also took off their masks one after another, and breathed heavily with ease on their faces.

"Hah—it's still comfortable like this."

"This mask is so stuffy."

The soldiers who took off their masks were talking, and they all had a look of enjoyment on their faces.

I stayed outside for ten days and half a month, and I had to wear this mask every day, otherwise it would be a problem to breathe.

The dust particles that drift everywhere block your lungs and suffocate you every minute without a mask.

"It's here."

While laughing, a white point of light appeared in the tunnel ahead, which was spotted by sharp-eyed soldiers.

It's the Hive Shelter, and of course it has an official name, New Star City.

The convoy passed through the tunnel, and after a slightly intense white light, a brightly lit station appeared in front of everyone.

The platform radio rang out on one side, and a sweet mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker.

Ding Dong Dong Dong -

"The Hive Shelter welcomes the safe return of Search and Rescue Team 01, and your efforts and dedication are the light of hope for the revival of humanity, and I would like to extend my respectful greetings to you......."

Opening the car door, Caleb jumped out of the car lightly, and a small figure ran in front of him.

With a leap of her hand, she pounced on Caleb, her feet clasped around his waist, and the whole body hung over him.

"Daddy!"

"Ena! Do you miss me? ”

With a bright smile on Caleb's face, he held the 'daughter' hanging on his body and hugged her a few times.

Ena lifted her little face, and the smile didn't stop when Caleb appeared.

She let go of the hand holding Caleb, her hands wide open.

"Hmmm! Ena misses her father, she thinks so much! ”

Caleb was overjoyed, hugged Ena, kissed her little cheek, and rubbed her little forehead.

"Really? Dad is so happy, and Dad misses Ena too. ”

Ena put her arm around Caleb's neck and giggled.

"My lord, you're back!"

It was a little child again, and Snow hugged Caleb's waist, crawled up on his back, and hung on Caleb.

"Uncle Caleb!"

"Mr. Caleb!"

Hela and Bell also ran up, and Hela looked at Caleb with people hanging on his body and puffed out his mouth to take Caleb's hand.

Caleb smiled and reached out to rub Hela's head, which immediately made her smile.

"It's really popular, hugging left and right, what about mine?"

Betty also greeted her at this time, and she looked at Caleb with a little cutie in his hand, and couldn't help but half-joke.

"If you want a hug after a long absence, I'd love to."

Caleb put down Ena and Snow, walked up to Betty, and slowly opened his hand to hug each other.

Feeling the temperature on Caleb's body, Betty's face became a little more red.

Caleb hugged it lightly, let go, and looked at Betty, a trace of pity and apology flashed in her eyes.

He smiled softly at Betty, and Betty smiled at Caleb when she saw this, and everything was silent.

A group of little guys around him watched the interaction between Caleb and Betty, and there were a few more question marks on their heads, what are they doing here?

"Lieutenant General Caleb, Lieutenant General Weiss, please come to the war room."

Just as Ena was clinging to Caleb and wanted him to take her to play, a female officer with a serious face walked over.

She was dressed in a jet-black military uniform with a bronze star on her shoulder, and was a major.

"Major Minna, I see, wait a minute."

Caleb nodded, crouched down to soothe the disappointed Ena, and agreed to take her with him next time.

"Let's go."

Caleb stood up, looked at the beautiful officer with long, wavy orange hair, and said briefly.

"Please."

Major Minna leaned more simply, respectfully sideways, and stretched out his palm upwards in the direction of the car, waiting for Caleb.

Caleb reached out and patted Ena on the head, and got into the car with her reluctant eyes.

................

In the war room, more than a dozen people sat in front of the operating table, staring intently at the giant optical brain.

Countless data windows appeared, and then quickly disappeared after dozens of seconds, and everyone crackled on the keyboard with serious expressions.

The other light brain connected to the giant light brain was even more intense, countless windows were popping up wildly, and warning signs were floating all over the screen.

"I was discovered, and the infiltration failed."

A young man sitting in front of the giant light brain looked back with an anxious face and said.

"Hold him down first."

A crisp female voice with a hint of hoarseness came, and there was a thick tiredness in her tone.

"No, there's a master on the other side, and he's backtracking my address."

"Then connect the virtual light brain, send a large amount of useless data to the opposite side, and block him."

The voice came again, and she was seen sitting alone in front of the computer that Caleb had brought back, alone in the face of the overwhelming data attack.

She is the hacker who was rescued by Caleb in the first place, Mo Xuan.

A month ago, Caleb took out the light brain and asked to crack the address of the dust and snow organization in it, and Betty recommended Mo Xuan to him.

At that time, Caleb still had a little impression of Mo Xuan, because a sour-eating insect complained to him that he had been misunderstood by a mechanical bee, and it did not delay Caleb's rescue order.

The reason for the incident was that Mo Xuan herself was scared by the bug and fainted, so Caleb remembered her, but she didn't expect Mo Xuan to be a master hacker.

I saw that Mo Xuan's hands almost danced out of the afterimage, moving quickly on the screen, constantly tapping on the keyboard.

She had thick dark circles under her eyes, and it seemed that she hadn't slept well in days.

But the spirit is extraordinarily excited, and the look revealed in a pair of eyes is even more terrifying, which is a kind of excitement like seeing something you love.

"That's it... That's it, it's almost touched. ”

The corners of Mo Xuan's mouth were crooked, and she finally caught a trace of horses' feet, as long as she chased it, she would definitely be able to find the address on the other side.

Mo Xuan seized the opportunity on the other side, and suddenly began to retreat, and the words of warning on the screen were rapidly decreasing.

A window emerges from the light brain, and thousands of codes flow through it.

Mo Xuan glanced at the ten lines quickly, and the smile on his face became more and more.

"Found ....."

Mo Xuan's face was ecstatic, but the next moment her smiling face froze, and she saw that the light brain in front of her suddenly darkened, and the next moment it lit up again.

All the warning words in the entire light brain disappeared, and all the previous attacks were also hit into the air.

Bang!

"Bastard, I actually pulled out the network cable, obviously it's a little close."

Mo Xuan looked angry and depressed, she circled with the opposite side for more than 20 hours, and she was about to control the light brain on the other side, but she was physically disconnected by the opposite side.

"Ha-no way, after all, this trick really works, both in the past and now."

The girl closest to Mo Xuan was also leaning back in the chair with a tired face, and the expression on her face was mostly depressed.

"Ahhhhh

"My hands are already shaking."

The people on the operating table were either holding their heads, or covering their faces, wailing and complaining, and some had even fallen asleep.

On the other side, Lieutenant General Weiss stood in front of a virtual map, looking at the map with a solemn expression, only to see that it was already covered with red ××, densely packed.

"General Weiss, this is the report of the search and rescue team."

With a gloomy face, Weiss looked at the report handed by his subordinates and sighed heavily.

"Another shelter has lost contact, and there are only more than 500 people left in the whole city."

"It's good to have more than 500 people, but I've encountered 3 empty cities in a row before, and there is no one left."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Vess was shocked, and he turned around sharply at a speed that was not like that of an old man.

It was Caleb who came into view, and he walked in with a relaxed face, and he looked around at the group of wailing hackers, and asked Vess funny:

"Is there something wrong with calling me over just when you came back?"

When Vis saw Caleb, he suddenly smiled a little more, but then became serious again.

"It's great that you're back, the Alliance Headquarters is calling for help, the Long Salary City Vault is about to fall, and their defenses have been destroyed by an unknown black fog.

I heard that once you are contaminated with these black fogs, you will die in a few more hours, and at present, the shelter in Changxing City has been completely sealed down, but it won't last long, I hope you can rescue them. ”

Caleb scratched his head and said helplessly:

"I've just come back, so I'm going to get out."

"There's no way, those who can work harder."

Weiss patted Caleb on the shoulder and said with a serious face:

"Please."

"Oh, I didn't say no."

Mo Xuan on the side also heard the conversation between the two, hurriedly turned around, and shouted:

"Report!"

Lieutenant General Vess turned his head and asked suspiciously:

"What's the matter?"

Mo Xuan stood up and gave Caleb and Vess an unorthodox military salute.

"Yes, we have just broken through the defensive wall of the Dust and Snow Organization, and although they quickly disconnected, we still found a location.

Although there is no exact address, the data indicates that the location is near Changxin City. ”

When Caleb heard this, his eyes lit up, and he raised his eyebrows, revealing a thoughtful look.

Weiss on the side looked even more excited, and he hurriedly asked:

"Long-pay city! Is it accurate? ”

"That's what the data shows, and I can't guarantee whether it's accurate or not, and it may be fake."

Mo Xuan's words calmed down Weiss, yes, the Dust and Snow Organization is so cunning and strong, false information is possible.

"Whether it's or not, you always have to go there, long-term pay market, right? I'll go now. ”

Caleb looked up, looked at the location of the city on the map, nodded and wanted to leave.

But then Vis stopped Caleb.

"Don't rush to leave yet, I've already sent a team over, and it's not too late to go with me to the lab now."

"Oh?"

Caleb was stunned, go to the lab? Could it be that the antidote has been studied, or is it .......
