Chapter 71: The outer wall is more than ten meters high, the soldiers are on guard with guns raised, and the people are constantly coming and going into the city.
The outer wall is more than ten meters high, the soldiers are on guard with guns raised, and the people are constantly coming and going into the city...
Right in front of the city wall, several soldiers wearing heavy protective clothing and holding modified guns strictly checked everyone entering the city.
Chen Chenchen stopped at the end of the line and looked with some embarrassment at Ming Yuheng, who was sitting quietly in the car and staring at Xiao Yubai.
The wide black robe covered her body, covering her pointed ears and golden scales. However, the tail was too big, and the black robe could not cover it at all. It drooped limply on the ground, revealing a large part of it, like a small snake.
"No matter who enters the Dawn Base for the first time, they must undergo a comprehensive examination before they can be registered and filed." Chen Chenchen paused, silently looking at Ming Yuheng, who could hardly hide his strange expression.
Xiao Yubai immediately understood what she meant. She smiled at Chen Chenchen and said softly, "Chief Chen, go ahead. I'm here. You'll be fine. I'll meet you inside."
The off-road vehicle marked with a huge military emblem and carrying the corpse of the zombie king drove into the city unimpeded.
Xiao Yubai glanced at Ming Yuheng in the back seat, got out of the car first and lined up at the back of the queue.
Ming Yuheng blinked, got out of the car like Xiao Yubai, and then followed her closely like a follower.
The half of the tail that was exposed looked a bit dead.
Bai Bai still ignored her.
The sharp tail hook stood up and stuck heavily into the ground. She felt like losing her temper.
Then, she glanced at Xiao Yubai's fair and slender back, pursed her lips, and held back.
I don't like that even more.
"Ah, what is that? A monster!" The ragged people saw Ming Yuheng's tail and screamed.
Having escaped death from the zombies, the travellers, who were already extremely sensitive to these things, were shuddered all over and all turned their eyes to her.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"How can a human have a tail? I wonder if he has been infected with the zombie virus."
"If you are infected with the virus, you will become a zombie. What kind of new monster is this?"
"How could such a monster guard let her into the city?"
"She won't suddenly go crazy and attack anyone, will she?"
…
Except for Xiao Yubai and his group, the area around Ming Yuheng was vacant for more than ten meters. They carefully observed her and discussed in a low voice. Although they deliberately lowered their voices for fear of the monster's revenge, the rustling sound still reached the ears of Xiao Yubai and his group.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Yubai heard countless monster noises.
His fingertips trembled slightly, and turned white from the effort. Xiao Yubai knew that they had no ill intentions.
The people of this world have just experienced a devastating catastrophe. Zombies and even mutants of plants or animals slaughtered their loved ones and destroyed their homes. It is human nature to hate abnormalities and zombies.
However, all this was not caused by Ming Yuheng, and she did not want to become like this. She is also a victim.
She should have been a brave and skilled soldier like Chen Chenchen, bathed in the admiration and respect of everyone.
The more Xiao Yubai thought about it, the more upset she felt. She looked back.
Ming Yuheng did not react to the disputes around her. He just lowered his head and stared at Xiao Yubai's slightly dirty trouser legs.
The corners of the white clothes were pinched by Xiao Yubai, leaving marks all over them, as if a ball of cotton was blocking his throat, making him choke and unable to move up or down.
Xiao Yubai didn't know what happened to her these days. It was as if something had escaped her control, making her a little at a loss.
She looked back again and took a step back. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yubai grabbed Ming Yuheng's sharp claws.
"Ah..." Ming Yuheng, who was hanging his head, was startled. He bared his teeth fiercely and slapped the ground with his tail restlessly.
The next second, she saw Xiao Yubai's calm face. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and she stood side by side with Ming Yuheng with her back straight. She pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and her slightly sharp black eyes calmly scanned everyone who was looking at them.
It seemed like he was proving with actual facts that Ming Yuheng was not aggressive towards humans, but it also seemed like he was simply supporting her.
Who can tell for sure?
Under the woman's cold gaze, they whispered a few words to each other and retracted their gazes.
Xiao Yubai has been praised and admired since she was young, and she is arrogant. She only cares about how others look at her, and she doesn't care about other people's eyes. In this world, there are only things she wants or doesn't want to do.
She temporarily put aside what she had been thinking about these days. She vaguely realized that this riddle might not be solved in a short period of time and would require her to spend more time and energy.
It doesn’t matter. As a researcher, what she lacks the least is time and patience.
Ming Yuheng's dim pupils suddenly lit up, sparkling like the bright stars in the night sky. She turned sideways and looked at Xiao Yubai's tense profile happily, curling her eyes, revealing many white teeth, she seemed to be smiling.
The sharp claws scratched Xiao Yubai's palm affectionately.
Xiao Yubai held her hand and shook it. A tingling sensation instantly spread from the palm of his hand, winding up and numbing half of his arm.
Xiao Yubai grabbed Ming Yuheng's paw tightly, imprisoned it under her slender fingers, and squeezed it, signaling her to behave herself. She knew that she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't push herself a little bit.
Even though she was thinking this, she still didn't let go of his hand.
Ming Yuheng, who happily followed Xiao Yubai forward, didn't understand anything, she only knew.
He held her hand in vain.
Baibai took the initiative to hold her hand.
Does Baibai like her... a little bit?
The tail swung excitedly, making the people behind it eat a mouthful of dust, but they dared not say anything.
After checking inside and out several times and seeing that Xiao Yubai and the others were indeed not carrying the zombie virus, the soldiers entered their information and gave them a smart bracelet.
It contains their basic information, like an identity certificate, which will be used in all aspects of the Dawn Base.
Chen Chenchen, who had already reported Ming Yuheng's situation to his superiors and received a clear reply, was still wearing his military uniform, leaning against the city gate, and had obviously been waiting for some time.
As soon as he saw them, Chen Chenchen immediately strode forward and looked at the leader Xiao Yubai.
"Doctor Xiao, after learning about Ming Yuheng's situation, the base attaches great importance to it and wants to meet with you to learn more about Ming Yuheng. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Let's go."
After passing through a series of heavily guarded checkpoints, Xiao Yubai and Ming Yuheng arrived behind a martial arts arena, where a woman in her forties in military uniform had been waiting for a long time.
She extended her hand to Xiao Yubai: "Hello, Dr. Xiao, I am Colonel Song Yushi from the Dawn Base. I was specially sent to receive you."
"Hello, my name is Xiao Yubai. I used to be a member of the Central Research Institute, mainly researching gene evolution and mutation. I once jointly developed..."
Most of the original body's experiences are consistent with Xiao Yubai's. She is a young genius and a rising star in scientific research. These aspects are easy to check and cannot be faked. I believe the base has already found out her identity.
"Ah, ah... Song"
Ming Yuheng's eyes were fixed on the clasped hands of Xiao Yubai and Song Yushi, and he shouted a few times with some dissatisfaction.
Baibai could only hold her hand.
How was this strange creature any better than her?
Ming Yuheng bared his teeth at Song Yushi and wagged his tail, as if he wanted to knock her away.
Song Yushi looked at Ming Yuheng's expression, her eyes reddened. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I am also Ming Yuheng's chief instructor. All honors and commendations she has received since she enrolled were awarded by me."
She had seen that high-spirited young man many times, on the training ground, in military exercises... She was the undisputed number one.
He has an upright posture, quick thinking, and agile movements. He exudes the youthful vigor and vitality that is unique to a teenager. He is also a little wild and a little thorny.
She annoyed them by jumping around when she wasn't training, and would occasionally find loopholes to challenge the rules they set, but her abilities and sharp tongue made it impossible for the instructors to do anything with her.
Song Yushi knew that although those instructors spoke with disdain and scolded her like a little bastard every day, they actually liked her very much.
That temper and ability were very much to the instructors' liking. Some of those instructors had been in the military for a long time, and usually liked this kind of capable, well-mannered and noisy students.
Now, most of them are gone, and that little bastard has become what he is now...
Ming Yuheng's fierce golden eyes collided with Song Yushi's sad eyes, and she was stunned for a rare moment. She retracted her teeth, hid behind Xiao Yubai, grabbed her tail and hugged it to her chest.
This creature was so strange. Why... why did she feel depressed every time she looked at her, as if she was covered by endless dark clouds. Every breath she took was like pulling a wet rag, and her nose was filled with a sticky smell. Was it going to rain?
Ming Yuheng looked up at the clear sky and grabbed his hair in annoyance.
Looking again, Ming Yuheng poked his head out from behind Xiao Yubai and looked at her carefully.
Song Yushi smiled at Ming Yuheng, but that smile was uglier than crying.
"Now it is basically confirmed that what you said is true. She is my student, Ming Yuheng."
"My most proud student."
"As her teacher, I would like to express my gratitude to you again." Song Yushi bowed solemnly three times to Xiao Yubai.
Xiao Yubai couldn't stop it no matter what he did, so he had to accept it.
"That's not necessary. In fact, I will save them no matter who they are."
"You saved my students. The students I devoted my life to."
After sorting out her feelings, she reached out her hand again.
"Now, on behalf of Chenxi Base's base chief Shen Yiyu, I would like to formally welcome Dr. Xiao to join Chenxi Base. The base has prepared a laboratory for you, Dr. Xiao. Chenxi Base has limited supplies, so it may be relatively simple. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Yubai shook her head. She actually liked this base very much, even though she had only been there for a short while.
"The contribution points that Ming Yuheng obtained from killing the zombie king have been processed and converted by us. Ming Yuheng's classmates and I pooled some more money and bought two small apartments in the base. The residents around are all soldiers, so there will be no panic. Xiao Chen, take them to rest first."
Xiao Yubai nodded and waved to the curious Ming Yuheng.
Song Yushi stood with his hands behind his back and watched the two of them walking further and further away.
Everything, turned into a sigh.
It’s good to be alive, as long as you are alive there is hope.
