Chapter 28
There is nothing special about the city of Chiusi. The degree of desolation is no different from other cities. If I have to say it, it is just one ruin after another.
The van stopped in front of a school.
The system found that in the old times this school was called Renhui School. The official website explained that the name means educating students with a benevolent heart and benefiting every child.
Renhui School.
Xu Zhou repeated the name silently several times. The name sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
After the van came to a stop, the four people in the front row exited, weapons in hand. The long-haired man opened the rear door, his lip curled in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. The remaining three people stood aside, giving Xu Zhou a chance to get a clear look at the two people in the passenger seat.
One of them had a square face and looked honest. The other one was just an ordinary person with a common face and no memorable features.
Standing next to the long-haired man and the scarred man, these two men looked out of place. But judging by the way they addressed each other, they were the eldest and the second in command, so they seemed to have high status.
Xu Zhou commented in his mind: "So, ruthless people are always so low-key."
System Follow Ticket: "True concealment often only requires the simplest appearance."
Xu Zhou didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He just took a look and then looked away. He stood up with the five young men and waited for the follow-up without any unnecessary movements.
Seeing the six people standing like quails, the long-haired man was happy: "Wow, they are quite well behaved and not noisy. They are much better than the ones I sent last time."
"What's good about that? They're all the same. You never know when they'll run away," the scarred man said fiercely. He fired a shot at the tire and threatened, "Behave yourself and don't run, or I'll kill you with one shot."
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the ground instantly, splashing gravel and bouncing into the carriage with a noise.
There was an indescribable solemnity in the air. The five teenagers subconsciously took a small step back, lowered their heads, and only the sound of their breathing flowed in the carriage.
Xu Zhou was still trying to figure out how to make the cards fall out naturally, but the sound of the gunshot jolted her awake. She hadn't expected the scarred man to do something like that.
"Okay, send him in quickly to avoid any trouble." The square-faced man spoke. From the sound of his voice, he was the eldest brother, and the other one with an ordinary face was the second in command.
"Alright," the long-haired man commanded, "Everyone, line up and come down one by one. I'm warning you, don't even think about doing anything crooked, or bullets won't show any eyes."
The common face spat.
The three men raised their gun barrels and pointed them at the people in the rear compartment to prevent them from escaping.
Xu Zhou was sitting near the glass window in front, so he ended up in the last seat.
She touched the card in her pocket, clenched her fist, and cheered herself up.
Cards, cards, you must make sure they fall out successfully. Whether you can have a good life depends on you.
The five teenagers didn't react at all, without any hesitation, they got off the car obediently and stood aside waiting tacitly. It seemed like they had done this set of skilled movements many times.
Xu Zhou was focused on the card and didn't notice this, but the system remembered it and made a note in the small notebook.
The curly-haired boy got off the bus and it was Xu Zhou's turn.
Xu Zhou stepped forward and raised his hand slightly—
A card accidentally floated to the ground.
"Wait a minute," the square-faced man suddenly said, and everyone stopped. The tense atmosphere was about to explode.
Perfect, it successfully attracts everyone's attention.
Xu Zhou was secretly delighted.
Next comes the second step.
The square-faced man and the average-faced man exchanged glances. The latter nodded and stepped forward to pick up the card.
The black and red card was displayed in front of everyone.
The five teenagers reacted the most.
As soon as the card appeared, their attitude turned directly to disgust. The short-haired girl moved behind the curly-haired boy in disappointment. The curly-haired boy glared at Xu Zhou, angry that he had mistaken him for someone else.
Their attitude towards the new sequence is obvious, and it also means that the rope of friendship between Xu Zhou and them is broken.
Xu Zhou's eyes swept over them expressionlessly, but he was worried in his heart.
Very good, she has already "offended" them. She just hopes that the reactions of the other four people will not disappoint her, otherwise all her efforts will be in vain.
The square-faced man took the card from the average-looking man and examined it. After a few seconds, he asked, "Is this yours?"
"Is it yours?" Xu Zhou jumped out of the car calmly, raised his left hand, stretched out two fingers and pushed away the gun that the long-haired man was pointing at her temples.
The dead silence was chilling.
"You--" The common-looking man was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
Crisp footsteps echoed from the school gate, and a woman in red appeared before everyone. She twirled her keys in her right hand, glanced around, and her gaze stopped at Xu Zhou. She raised an eyebrow and jokingly said, "What? Another ride back? Looks like your ride isn't very good."
The brisk tone was like a fuse, and in an instant, the atmosphere was shattered.
The woman's gestures were very casual, and her words didn't sound intimidating at all, but they made the four men change their expressions at the same time.
The system honked in my mind: "Wow, beauty saves beauty! It's beautiful, I like to see more."
"How can driving by yourself be as fast as riding with the wind?" Xu Zhou continued, "This car is okay, just average."
The square-faced man looked uneasy, but he didn't react. He silently handed the card to Xu Zhou and gestured for the other three to quickly take the five teenagers into the school.
It was obvious that he didn't want to confront the woman head-on.
They ran as fast as the wind and entered the school and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The woman did not stop them, and even moved to make room for them, and kindly reminded them: "Be careful on the road, it's not a good road to walk on."
The scarred man wanted to turn around and say something, but was pulled back by the ordinary-looking man.
Xu Zhou put the card back into her pocket and just happened to see this scene. She and the system cricket: "Everything can defeat something else."
"The woman at the top of the food chain is here to defeat you." said the system.
The person who came was the woman they had met twice.
She didn't say hello, but simply waved for Xu Zhou to follow her. Xu Zhou followed her without saying a word.
System: "You are quite smart."
"A man of insight is a man of character."
The woman took Xu Zhou to a house next to the school. Opening the door, she saw traces of human life everywhere. She closed the door, took off her red coat, and put on another dark one.
Xu Zhou sat on the chair consciously.
The woman poured Xu Zhou a glass of water.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from the New Sequence? Why did you come to our old nest?" the woman asked.
"As you can see, he was captured." Xu Zhou took a symbolic sip of water and sighed.
She could just get caught in a van and find the lair of the new sequence. She suspected that she had the horoscope of the new sequence in her fate.
The woman nodded. "You're lucky. The organization just said they wanted to capture some new people for experiments, and you were caught."
Xu Zhou was stunned: Huh?
What did she hear? The New Sequence was trying to capture people for experiments? Could she possibly hear such a huge secret?
"What experiment?" Yes, she not only listened, she also asked more and more questions.
"Guess." The woman kept it a secret.
Xu Zhou had a collision of ideas with the system in his mind.
As we all know, experiments on humans are generally not good experiments. In the apocalypse, Xu Zhou can only think of it as being related to zombies.
She asked, "Is it related to zombies?"
"right."
A person can conduct experiments related to zombies. "Could it be an infectious virus?"
The woman nodded.
"You just tell me such confidential information?" Xu Zhou asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell on you?"
The woman spread her hands and shrugged, her expression innocent and nonchalant. "I didn't say that. You guessed it yourself."
Continue to blink during the day.
The system exclaimed, "She's so frank. Does she have a grudge against the New Sequence?"
"I suppose so."
The woman did not continue the topic and instead asked about what Xu Zhou had encountered after they separated.
Xu Zhou adhered to the idea of keeping something in reserve and made up most of the story.
After they separated, they encountered zombies and became separated from Xunchun. A group of people suddenly appeared and rescued her, kindly sending her to the base. There, she was bullied again and forced to do the hardest and most tiring work. Then, she was tricked into going out to investigate the situation. While doing so, she encountered zombies again and was captured by the four men from before and sent here.
System: "You've changed it beyond recognition." Nothing makes sense.
"How can what I truly experienced in my mind not be considered an experience?" Xu Zhou boasted while not forgetting to argue with the system.
The woman listened with great interest, but she only regretted that she had no melon seeds.
It's been a while since I've heard such a lively story. Even though it's made up, it's enough. After their last separation, she returned to her old nest in the New Sequence, where the dull daily routine numbed her.
Fortunately, today is a little different.
When Xu Zhou was telling stories, his expressions were vivid and his hands and feet were dancing, which really caught people's attention.
very nice.
The woman smiled gently.
Xu Zhou settled down next to the woman's house.
Why didn't she live in a woman's house? This was a good question, because she felt that she should always keep something in reserve. Women were good, but she always had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
System: "Is it because her position is unclear?"
"A little." After all, she didn't know anything about the woman's background.
Xu Zhou sat by the window, leaning back in his chair, his hands folded behind his head, looking at the nearby Renhui School. The buildings in the school were all red and yellow.
She asked why the name of the school sounded familiar. When she saw the special color of the building, she remembered that this school was the special education school in Qiuxi City that was in the news.
The background she saw most often in the video was the iconic building in the center of the school - a spherical hollow sculpture.
The new sequence’s base is actually stationed in the school.
It sounds very disjointed.
"Did fate lead me here so that I could go in and gather intelligence?"
System: "Was that a guide? Wasn't it to tie you up?"
Xu Zhou felt that his life was very miserable.
The woman said that the New Sequence was under 24-hour surveillance, and as long as she arrived, she was under surveillance.
Although Xu Zhou did not enter the school, she was already on the list. All her actions would be recorded. If there was any unusual movement, she would be caught and sent to the school for processing.
The four men were partners with the New Sequence. After a standoff at the school gate, she was barely included in the women's group. Because she had no official records, she was safe for the time being. If she wanted to wander around Chiusi City, she could, but leaving without approval was impossible.
If she chooses to leave by force, she will be faced with countless gunshots.
The woman finally said:
In the apocalypse, Chiusi City is both the safest and the most dangerous place.
