Shenlong Pass.
As the battlefield was cleaned up, many Night Watchmen returned to Shenlong Pass. The sea in the distance had smoothed out the scars left by the battle, and the mottled holes in the sky that were burned were also healing little by little.
As Wuquan walked back to Chenlong Pass, a figure in a dark red cloak came towards him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the group of reporters who were sent to Shenlong Pass... They want to interview Commander Lin."
Hearing this answer, Wuquan frowned slightly and looked away.
Several figures, soaking wet and in a disheveled state, were carrying equipment, standing aside with some stiffness and expectation, staring eagerly into Shenlong Pass, as if looking for something.
"I'll go and take a look." Wuquan walked straight towards them.
"He's a night watchman who controls the celestial phenomena!" When a member of the exploration team saw Wuquan coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the rest of the people immediately surrounded him.
"Hello...what's your name?"
"My last name is Wu."
"Mr. Wu, it's like this. We just recorded the whole process of this battle. I wonder if we can have a chance to meet with Commander Lin and do a simple interview?" Reporter Liao said sincerely.
"It won't take up too much of Commander Lin's time. It will only take five minutes at most... no, three minutes! Now everyone in Daxia is looking forward to meeting Commander Lin in person. Please help me inform him, please!"
"I'm really sorry." Wu Quan said calmly, "Commander Lin is very busy. As soon as the battle here ended, he went to the headquarters to deal with other things... Now, he is probably in Shangjing City, so he really can't accept your interview."
“Ah? So fast?” Reporter Liao was stunned.
"Come to think of it, after the Night Watchmen cleaned up the battlefield, Commander Lin has not appeared since..."
"You just finished such an intense battle, and are you going to work again?"
“Isn’t this too busy?”
The members of the exploration team looked at each other helplessly. Although reporter Liao was disappointed, he could only speak:
"Okay...thanks for letting me know."
Not only the members of the exploration team were disappointed, but also the audience in the live broadcast room. The previous earth-shaking battle made everyone curious about the mysterious Commander Lin, and the exploration team, which was also in Shenlong Pass, was undoubtedly the closest to Commander Lin.
Seeing that they couldn't see Commander Lin, everyone in front of the screen felt a little disappointed. The next live broadcast was the exploration team walking casually in Shenlong Pass. Apart from a wide range of weapons and solid barriers, there was nothing else. Some people immediately lost interest.
Zhao Zhengbin browsed the Internet, which was full of replays and comments of the live broadcast of the battle. He had just finished watching the live broadcast and had no interest in these.
Calculating the time, the meal distribution had already begun. He touched his hungry stomach, got up and walked towards the dormitory.
"Mom, I'm back."
Zhao Zhengbin walked into the room and found his mother sitting at a small table, holding something that looked like a flyer in her hand, staring blankly.
"What took you so long?" Mother pointed at the two lunch boxes wrapped in thermos bags on the table. "Someone came to deliver food just now, and I saw that you weren't back yet, so I put it here to keep it warm. It shouldn't be cold yet."
"good."
Zhao Zhengbin sat down at the table and opened two lunch boxes, two vegetarian, one meat and one soup, and two bowls full of rice. The other lunch box contained apples, grapes, bananas and other fruits, as well as two boxes of fresh milk.
Zhao Zhengbin's eyebrows slightly raised. The food here is not worse than what he eats at home...
"Mom, it was so lively over there just now, didn't you go out to see?"
"There were too many people outside, so I didn't try to squeeze in... But I heard them shouting something outside, like Commander? Is there another fight?"
"We fought and we won."
Zhao Zhengbin guessed that given his mother's personality, she might not pay attention to these live broadcasts, but no matter what, this was a matter of life and death for everyone. He still described the scene of the battle to his mother, but his mother seemed a little absent-minded.
"It's good to win... It's good to win."
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Zhao Zhengbin asked in confusion when he saw his mother holding a piece of paper.
"When the man delivered the meal just now, he also sent a diagram of the shelter's structure, marking several emergency escape routes and so on..."
"What's so good about this thing?"
The mother hesitated for a moment, but still handed the paper to Zhao Zhengbin, "Xiaobin... Look, have you seen the structure of this shelter before?"
"ah?"
Zhao Zhengbin was stunned and took the drawing to look at it carefully.
This drawing was different from the map he saw in the corridor. The map in the corridor was mainly used to mark dormitory numbers and routes to the restaurant hall and other areas. There were too many details and they were too complicated. The map in his hand was much simpler. All unnecessary markings were deleted and only a few fire escape routes were drawn.
It is for this reason that this picture looks very simple and clear, and the outline of the entire shelter is outlined.
Only then did Zhao Zhengbin realize that the layout of this shelter was not a neat rectangle or circle, but a honeycomb layout that resembled a vortex. Each path was curved at a specific angle, and from a distance it looked like some kind of mysterious symbol of central symmetry.
"Hiss..." Zhao Zhengbin put the blueprint far away and stared at the outline of the plane layout. It looked vaguely familiar...
"Strange...it does seem a little familiar...where have I seen it before?" Zhao Zhengbin asked puzzledly.
"The Spring Festival couplets on the door of my hometown."
Hearing his mother's reminder, Zhao Zhengbin seemed to remember something and slowly opened his mouth...
"Didn't several of your father's comrades come to visit us the year he passed away? It seemed to be a few days before the Spring Festival. They brought some New Year's goods and a pair of Spring Festival couplets. They personally helped us paste them on the door before they left... and every New Year, they would send a new pair of Spring Festival couplets."
The mother pointed to the outline of the shelter on the picture and said, "This pattern appears on the Spring Festival couplets every year."
Zhao Zhengbin was stunned for a long time, and his mind felt a little confused...
"The structure of the shelter... is similar to the Spring Festival couplets in my hometown?" Zhao Zhengbin scratched his head. "They are indeed exactly the same, but why is this so?"
The pattern on the Spring Festival couplets in my hometown should have been there almost ten years ago. How come it is now in the shelter? Moreover, the pattern is so complicated and strange, and it doesn't look like a popular symbol. Is it really such a coincidence?
The mother sighed and put the blueprint down. "Never mind, let's eat first... It should just be a coincidence. What does the design of this night watchman have to do with our door..."
Zhao Zhengbin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After thinking hard for a long time, he still had no answer, so he could only start eating.
