Chapter 164 Stardust Annihilation
The wheels rolled over the muddy road and drove at full speed towards the military base.
The people sitting in the car, soaking wet, still stared at the rear of the car. In the farthest distance was the bloody section, where the convoy experienced a life-and-death struggle. Some people stayed there forever, some were contaminated by the blood of the mutants, and some were injured in the battle.
The people who were contaminated by the blood and injured were filled with sorrow and despair at this moment. Even if they arrived at the military base shelter safely now, they might not be able to pass the safety test.
Once they were declared infected, they were declared dead.
Moreover, it was the most terrible and disgusting way to die. Just like the infected people who are still chasing after the car, they follow tirelessly all the way. Once they get close, they will be killed by the troops.
What is more terrifying than becoming an ordinary infected person is becoming an evolved infected person. When the huge blood-colored monster was killed, many of them saw what was under its skin and flesh. They didn't know whether it was glued or swallowed. This blood-colored monster didn't seem to be just an infected person evolved...
In the bumpy military truck, Min Min looked at the man leaning on You Xi's shoulder with his eyes closed. She apologized to her again with some self-blame, saying that she didn't keep an eye on her brother and let him get off the car, which resulted in this.
She had already learned from Fang Lei, the doctor among the nine people, the reason why You Xi and her brother You Zhengqing were in the hospital.
You Xi had just gone out to fight the infected to protect them. Her brother, who was left in the carriage, should have been taken care of by them, but when she was distracted, he actually got off the car by himself.
She knew he was worried about his sister. If it were her, if her brother was fighting the infected outside, she would also be worried and want to go out to help.
But he was a seriously ill patient after all, and it was easy for him to get into trouble in such a harsh environment with endless blood and rain.
Sure enough, after You Zhengqing brought You Xi back, he fainted almost as soon as the two of them sat safely in the carriage. His originally sick and thin face was pale without a trace of blood.
Youxi's face was not much better, but she still tried her best to support him and let him lean on her shoulder.
"It really has nothing to do with you. It was so chaotic at that time. How could you keep an eye on him?" Youxi changed her sitting position and straightened her head that had slid down from her shoulders. She was also quite speechless. It was obviously her who used up all her energy, but when she got on the car, it was him who got dizzy...
"ζ‖╓〤..." Youxi read the pronunciation softly. She didn't expect that a system actually had a name. But if it was artificial intelligence, it was understandable. She was just a little surprised. She didn't expect the other party to tell her his name under such circumstances.
Min Min, who was standing by, heard half of the pronunciation and immediately hummed: "Xiaoxi, you called me? What's wrong, what's the matter?"
Youxi smiled: "I didn't call you, you heard it wrong."
ζ‖╓〤.
The name of her family system is: Xing Min.
Obviously, it's just a similar pronunciation, but she didn't know why, she subconsciously thought of these two words.
Xing Min - the star dust is annihilated.
There is a feeling of eternal loneliness in the universe.
**
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy broke through the thundercloud and rainstorm area and was once again enveloped by the sun.
When the golden light once again fell into the car through the canopy, almost everyone looked at the light falling in with greed.
In the end times, experience is always exchanged for blood and tears.
The convoy sped up again and finally arrived at the outskirts of the military base before five o'clock. There were already layers of inspection checkpoints set up here, and everyone in the convoy would be inspected again.
When Youxi and his group went down with their backpacks to line up, they noticed that the silver-gray armored RV passed through another hole and entered an inspection area surrounded by tall wire mesh.
Soon, a group of people walked out of one of the buildings inside. The team leader who was originally guarding outside the RV immediately went up to meet them and took them to the other side of the RV.
There was a gap on the body of the RV that was torn open by the evolutionary mutant. The leader took a few glances and immediately asked the other party to open the RV compartment.
The driving area of this armored RV is completely separated from the rear compartment area. There are three team members in the driving area. In addition to the researchers, there are three team members staying in the compartment.
After the convoy was attacked, they hurriedly set off. They only realized that something was wrong in the compartment halfway through.
They used the internal line to contact the people in the compartment, but no one responded.
After the Evolver attacked the body and was killed, they talked to the people in the car. After the people inside gave all normal responses, they returned to the driving area and drove away. How come they couldn't contact the people in the compartment halfway through?
At that time, the car was following the convoy on the road. In order not to fall behind, the driving area sent a skilled team member to climb onto the roof of the car from the driver's seat window and go to the rear compartment along the roof. However, when he opened the door of the rear compartment, he saw only a compartment full of corpses. The
researchers and the remaining team members inside were all dead.
More importantly, the research object that was originally locked up was gone.
The team member was shocked. He knew how important the researchers in this compartment were. Now that something happened, he immediately returned to the driving area and reported the situation to his superiors.
Not long after the two leading people entered the compartment, they came out quickly. Both of them looked very bad. They hurried back to the building while arguing fiercely about something.
One of them mentioned Lincheng and reporting, but the other one strongly opposed it.
Youxi looked back at the man beside her, and he also looked down at her. They all heard the conversation over there. There were indeed infected people in the RV, and they escaped during the melee in the convoy.
Normally, ordinary infected people only know how to attack and fight to the death. This infected person knows how to escape, so he must be an intelligent evolved person.
Pianshan actually dared to imprison an intelligent infected person in a shelter full of ordinary people. He is really brave. The reason why this shelter has made rapid progress in research must be inseparable from the experiments on infected people.
Such a thing could not be done by the people below without telling the people above. This shows that the manager of this Pianshan shelter is very radical and bold.
You know, everyone who plays with fire thinks they can control it, but in the end, they will be devoured by the flames.
It was one thing for You Xi to save people when the convoy was in a critical situation, but now that the people have safely arrived at the military base, she also has to make long-term plans for You Zhengqing's future.
In her opinion, this is not a place to stay for a long time. It's not that something will definitely happen, but she has always been more cautious. If she has the ability, she can choose a safer shelter.
There were too many people around, Youxi focused slightly and called the system in her mind: It's getting dark today, stay here for the time being, rest for a night, and find a chance to leave early tomorrow morning.
The other party heard her voice, looked down at her again, and nodded at her.
**
There were many people in the attacked convoy, and it was impossible to complete all the tests before the sun went down. Fortunately, the military base was very large, and an area was temporarily isolated inside the building to accommodate the civilians who had not yet been inspected. At the same time, all inspectors will continue to work overtime until all civilians have been tested.
Youxi and his military truck belonged to the middle and back of the convoy, and the queue was also at the back, so they could not be inspected before dark.
The waiting area was similar to a big shop, with many camp beds and several material distribution points set up on the side. There were simple steamed bread and water for dinner, and each person could also receive a bag of pickled mustard. There was also a place to fill hot water and wash.
The people were all transferred from the shelter, and everyone had some food reserves. Everyone escaped from death, and they didn't want to continue to save tonight, so they prepared to have a good meal.
So for a while, the aroma of instant noodles and square rice noodles filled the whole space, and various bagged salts and sausages were also soaked in the noodles, and everyone ate them very deliciously.
Xiaonan was once a delicate girl who swore that she would never touch instant noodles or canned meat in her life, but now she holds the noodle bucket, sighs while eating, and says it is so delicious.
Wu Youyi hesitated between the ham and the vacuum-cured chicken legs at first, but finally gritted his teeth and put them all into the noodles, indicating that he was going all out today and was going to be savory!
Min Min's family: ...
Doctor Fang Lei: ...
Nurse Zhao Yu: ...
The young couple: ...
The nine people in Youxi had just enjoyed a rich and delicious hot pot yesterday. They had never lacked food in the hospital building before. Now seeing other people eating a bowl of instant noodles so emotionally, they all felt a little funny and sad.
However, thinking that this was also their future life, some people's emotions became a little depressed.
"Don't think too much." The husband of the young couple hugged his wife and comforted her, "As long as I can be with you safely, it doesn't matter what I eat. We finally joined the main force. This is a military base, which is safer than Pianshan..."
Min Min took out two boxes of milk from her backpack and handed them to her mother and brother respectively, asking them not to waste it and eat the steamed buns they got first.
She was not in a hurry to eat dinner, so she took out two more boxes of milk and went to Youxi next to her.
"You Zhengqing" was half leaning on the cot to rest, looking very tired, while Youxi was sitting on the edge of the bed, peeling an orange in his hand.
Min Min could understand it very well. After all, they had set out from the city in the morning, and he was the one driving the car. They had been on the road all day and had experienced a life-and-death situation. Normal people would feel tired.
Youxi did not refuse the milk she brought, but at the same time, he took out two boxes of orange juice from his backpack and gave them to her as a return gift.
Min Min took it, but did not leave. She did not come here to bring drinks.
Youxi saw her hesitation and stood up to let her speak directly.
Min Min looked around, then leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice very low, "Are you going to stay?"
"Why do you ask?"
"You... don't look like you will stay." Others did not think too much in the face of life and death, but Min Min was different.
She had felt that the other party had different abilities before, and today she saw her take out the snatch bullet. The most important thing is that she can use it skillfully, and when facing the enemy, she is calmer and more experienced than the young team member in the car.
She felt that Youxi would not stop here.
Huaguo had not completely fallen. Before the signal was completely interrupted, many cities were still in normal condition, but the inspections in various aspects were very strict.
According to online rumors, several cities were even building security walls.
If she was alone, it would be fine, she could survive anywhere, but she still had a mother and a younger brother.
She could endure hardships and hide underground for the rest of her life, but she couldn't bear to see her family suffer.
The East City Shelter, which was so big before, was gone in an instant. It is very safe here now, but it is a fallen area after all. How long can this safety last?
If other more difficult evolved mutants appear, can this shelter really hold up?
If she relies on herself, there is no way she can take her mother and brother to the non-fallen zone.
"I know it's selfish of me to ask this... but if you have other plans, can you take us with you?"
After Min Min asked this, her face was burning with shame and expectation. "I can do anything and learn everything. My brother and I will work hard to protect our mother and try not to hold you back. I don't know how capable you are now... but if - if you are willing..."
"Okay, take a rest tonight and leave tomorrow morning." You Xi nodded readily.
She couldn't drag a large team, but she could still handle a small team. What's more, once they found a safer shelter and prepared to settle down, when she completed her mission and left, she also hoped that someone she could trust would accompany and take care of You Zhengqing on her behalf.
Although her own mechanical consciousness will retain her force, she has asked Tongzi that superpowers, like space, cannot be retained, so it is a good thing to have a few more people who can be trusted together.
Min Min was excited and ashamed, staring at her speechlessly.
You Xi made a hissing gesture at her as before: "Also, I want to take one more person with me."
Min Min looked at her: "Doctor Fang Lei?"
You Xi couldn't help but touch her face: "So smart."
Min Min covered the touched face and glanced behind You Xi: "Is your brother hungry? He has been looking at us here..."
