Chapter 209 Returning to My Residence
"Seale off the underground research institute?"
Han Shuo's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected things to get this serious.
"When will it reopen?"
Qingyu shook her head, her expression also somewhat solemn.
"I don't know, Steward Wang didn't say, but this is the first time in all these years that I've seen worry on Steward Wang's face."
"It's clear that Steward Wang is in a very bad mood, and the situation must be quite troublesome!"
Just as the two were talking, two more cars suddenly arrived in the distance.
A group of ten people got off the car. The middle-aged man leading them looked solemn and didn't say much. He nodded to Qingyu and went directly into the passage.
It looks like a guard team returning from outside. Since the nuclear explosion, seven or eight teams have returned to the underground research institute.
After the group left, Han Shuo asked again.
"Brother Qingyu, what's the situation inside now?"
Qingyu sighed first, then said helplessly.
"Sigh, it's a mess. Most of the survivors don't know exactly what happened, and people are filled with fear."
After thinking for a moment, he added another reminder.
"By the way, in order not to cause too much panic, the director only stated that it was a normal earthquake. When you go in, remember not to say anything."
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Han Shuo replied readily.
Qingyu nodded. He was quite relieved about this, since Han Shuo and his group were relatively reliable.
"Alright, you guys go in first. I still need to stay here on duty. We'll talk later."
"good!"
After saying goodbye to Qingyu, everyone returned to their respective cars.
And so, an armored vehicle and two trucks quickly entered the passage.
Stop the car, get out, and inspect.
Because Han Shuo and the other three had previously received inhibitors, the staff only disinfected them.
Wai Di followed the normal procedure, taking off his clothes and thoroughly inspecting the area.
Han Shuo inadvertently glanced at the data on the screen, which displayed Wai Di's physical information after the test:
Gender: Male.
Age: 20.
Status: Safe, no infection.
...
"My goodness, this kid is already 20 years old? I can't believe it, I thought he was a minor..."
"Sigh, he's so thin and small. He must have been living in the forest before and suffered from severe malnutrition."
Although Wai Di's real age is seriously inconsistent with his appearance, it is only an insignificant matter at this moment.
Han Shuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
After entering the passage, it took the group less than five minutes to be allowed to pass and successfully enter the underground research institute.
Sure enough, the situation inside was indeed as chaotic as Qingyu had described.
All the guards stationed here were mobilized to maintain order.
"Soldier, was that really just an earthquake?"
"That's scary, will there be aftershocks?"
"Yeah, the tremors will be stronger underground. Will this place be able to withstand it?"
"Let me go! I want to get out! I don't want to be crushed to death here..."
A cacophony of shouts reached Han Shuo and the others' ears.
Some were asking questions, and some of the more timid survivors even tried to break through the guard's lines and run outside.
"Sigh, this negative atmosphere can easily lead people to follow the crowd, lose their rationality, and act blindly and impulsively..."
Han Shuo shook his head and sighed softly.
Then he spoke.
"Let's leave the goods on the truck there for now and head back to our place."
"good!"
The five people strode forward and squeezed into the crowd.
Han Shuo took the lead and, without any politeness, shoved the survivors around him.
"Get away!"
The crowd was too dense, all piled up near the gate; otherwise, it would be really difficult to squeeze out.
Han Shuo's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and in a short while, he led the four people behind him out of the crowd.
A few minutes later, the five returned to their residence.
After swiping his card and having his identity verified again, the door opened, and Han Shuo walked in.
Everything inside is as it was before.
"Oh my, it feels so good, so soft!"
The fat man excitedly plopped down on the living room sofa, a feeling of nostalgia welling up inside him.
Han Shuo smiled; returning here again gave him a sense of security.
"Alright, get up right now, you're all dirty, you've stained the sofa cushions black."
"Okay, I understand."
The fat man reluctantly moved his buttocks. Indeed, everyone had been outside for so long without a chance to shower, and they all smelled terrible.
"Alright, let's not think about all the mess outside. Let's take turns washing up and then everyone can get a good rest."
He had barely finished speaking when Li Shurou blurted out in a very casual tone.
"Okay, little brother, come with me to take a bath. I'll scrub you clean out all the dirt."
As she spoke, she pulled Wai Di towards the bathroom, still regarding him as a child.
"Okay, okay," Wai Di replied blankly, his words mumbled indistinctly.
"Wait, Shurou!"
Han Shuo quickly called out to the two of them.
It would have been fine before, but he suddenly discovered Wai Di's real age, so it felt a bit awkward to have Li Shurou help Wai Di take a bath.
Although Wai Di looks like a child, Han Shuo can no longer treat him as a child.
He felt that a little adult would be more suitable...
After all, she's 20 years old. There's a difference between men and women, so it's better to avoid any awkwardness.
"What?" Li Shurou turned her head and asked in confusion.
"Uh...you go wash first, and Wai-di can wash with Fatty later."
"Strange..."
Although Li Shurou felt a little strange, she didn't think much of it, leaving Wai Di behind and going into the bathroom alone.
"Hey, Shurou, do you want me to take a bath? My back is covered in mud, and I can't reach it myself!"
The fat man shouted something towards the bathroom.
"You fatso, don't even think about taking advantage of me, get lost!" Li Shurou's feigned anger came from inside.
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself.
"These two are acting a bit strange!"
...
Soon, the five people took turns going to the bathroom in four groups to clean their bodies of filth.
"Comfortable!"
After taking a shower, Han Shuo felt relaxed and stretched out a big yawn.
When he saw the fat man finally emerge from the bathroom with Wai-di, his eyes lit up.
Wai Di had been thoroughly washed by the fat man, his skin was red from being scrubbed, and a large bath towel was wrapped around his private parts.
He looked completely different; his skin was so smooth, like that of a crystal-clear porcelain doll.
Han Shuo couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
"Wai Di is a bit thin and small, but he is really handsome. If he could go to school with normal children, he would probably have a lot of female admirers."
After chatting for a while, everyone went to their rooms to sleep and rest...
