Chapter 483 Mutant Attack
I heard that the state of a person's soul after death is determined by how the person is when he or she is dying.
Fu Baiwei didn't know if this statement was right or not, nor did she know if there was a soul in the world. But she wanted to try, even if there was only a one in a billion chance, she wanted to try...
Looking back on her life, she did many wrong things, but meeting and falling in love with Sun Haiyun was the most correct thing she did.
Ever since Sun Haiyun passed away, she has been living in a daze. She doesn't want to live in such a miserable state, but she is also unwilling to die in such a silent way, and eventually become a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
After waking up, Fu Baiwei recalled her experience of becoming a mutant and completely lost the desire to live.
Xia Xiaoman learned that Fu Baiwei was dying, so she notified Wang Shijin and Chen Peiqiong. The three of them would go to the laboratory to visit Fu Baiwei every day when they had free time.
All the past memories disappeared when they saw Fu Baiwei lying on the hospital bed. Everyone began to miss the days when they united as one in Shuiyue Bay to fight against foreign enemies.
Coming out of the laboratory, Chen Peiqiong sighed, "Fu Baiwei is just too stubborn and too strong-willed. When we first moved to the mountains, I asked Fu Baiwei and the others to move with me next door to your house, but Fu Baiwei refused to move. She always felt that she could do it herself and didn't want to rely on others."
"If Fu Baiwei had moved to our place, Sun Haiyun would not have died, and she would not have become like this."
Xia Xiaoman pursed her lips and said, "It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. Who knew so many things would happen later?"
Wang Shijin felt heavy-hearted. "I was in the underground city at that time. If I had known that Sun Haiyun and Fu Baiwei were having such a hard time, I would have definitely tried to help them."
Chen Peiqiong said with emotion: "You can help them temporarily, but you can't help them forever. This is their fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xiaoman's cell phone rang. He turned on the phone and saw that it was Lu Lanshan calling. He guessed that it might be to notify them to dig a tunnel.
As expected, as soon as the call was connected, Lu Lanshan asked her to organize the crew to gather at the exit of the underground city at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Cold-proof diving suits have been prepared for them, and they will start digging the passage of Xinfu City No. 2 tomorrow.
Lu Lanshan and his team have made calculations based on the falling of the underground city after the ground subsidence, and have deduced the falling position of the No. 2 underground city and the approximate location of the exit of the No. 2 underground city.
Xia Xiaoman and his team only need to dig down according to the location marked by Lu Lanshan and dig out a passage that two people can pass through. Lu Lanshan will send professionals to dig for the rest of the work.
They didn't rescue Xinfu No. 2 for nothing. Since they had made a move, they were bound to take back Xinfu No. 2's right to speak.
By then, they will need to install an elevator that can get out of the water on Xinfu No. 2. Otherwise, when the extreme cold comes, they will lose control of Xinfu No. 2.
Yu Jie plans to install the elevator directly at the entrance and exit of Xinfu No. 2, so the subsequent work of digging out the passage requires professionals. Xia Xiaoman and his team are only responsible for finding the entrance and exit of Xinfu No. 2.
Cold-proof diving suits are relatively thick and wearing them will affect your body's flexibility, but it is still better than freezing in the water.
Before digging the tunnel, Lu Lanshan would have people cover the excavation site with transparent plates made of water mushroom liquid and drain the water inside before letting Xia Xiaoman and his team dig in. If the water is not drained away, it is easy to collapse when digging below.
Lu Lanshan watched the scene for more than an hour. Seeing that there was no problem with Xia Xiaoman and the others' operation, he left and went back to his own work.
The soil dug out this time also had to be transported to the floating board. Xia Xiaoman carried the soil up and was about to go into the water when she saw Qiao Wan, who had also become a porter.
Qiao Wan threw the materials for fixing the floating board out of the space, sat next to Xia Xiaoman and complained: "I'm so tired. I'm soaking in water every day. I'm almost having irregular menstruation."
Xia Xiaoman laughed unkindly, "Go ask Yu Jie for compensation and ask her to give you a raise."
Qiao Wan curled her lips, "Forget it! There's no point asking for a salary. The government will reimburse my food, accommodation, and travel expenses. There's no point using points at all."
"Oh, right. I have good news for you. I heard that the capital has been taken over by the Xu family. Now the people in power in the capital are from the Xu family. The Xu family has already sent people to various underground cities to deal with the nanochip issue."
Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, "The Xu family has risen to power so quickly?"
Qiao Wan nodded, "Yes, it seems that because of the ground subsidence, the capital had a temporary power outage. The Xu family took this opportunity to quickly deal with those competitors and became the people in power in the capital."
"Jiang Yue said that after the Xu family came to power, they obtained some items that stored space energy from other forces. She has already applied to the Xu family to allocate a space item to our floating city. Then I won't have to work so hard."
"Is the Xu family so willing to do this?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Qiao Wan nodded again, "This space is not for free. Mayor Yu exchanged it for the design drawings and raw materials of the water world. There are no water mushrooms and green water grass in the capital. Without these two things, it is difficult to build a water world. That's why the Xu family used a space to exchange these things."
This is normal. If there is no benefit, why would the Xu family give them the floating city space for no reason?
As he was talking, the water surface suddenly rolled violently and several strings of bubbles appeared. Xia Xiaoman moved the searchlight above his head and shone it on the place where the bubbles came out. He saw a large area of red liquid spreading around with the bubbles as the center.
Xia Xiaoman's face changed drastically, and he looked warily at the place where the blood was coming out. After a while, a face that looked like a kappa floated to the surface.
"Mutants! Mutants are coming to attack! Help! Mutants are coming to attack!" Qiao Wan shouted while pulling Xia Xiaoman away from the water.
Just as he stepped back, the monster with a kappa face climbed out of the water and stood where Xia Xiaoman had just stood. The other party was so fast that Xia Xiaoman didn't even see how he climbed up.
The moment he saw the mutant, Xia Xiaoman immediately took out a gun from the space and shot at the mutant. The mutant dodged the bullet flexibly, ran to Xia Xiaoman, and punched him in the face with a clenched fist.
When Xia Xiaoman reacted, the mutant's fist had already been raised. She immediately raised her hand to block it, and then pointed the gun at the mutant. Before she could shoot, the mutant kicked her away.
The mutant was moving so fast that only his afterimage could be seen. Xia Xiaoman was kicked down onto the float. When she got up, she saw the mutant grabbing Qiao Wan's neck and lifting her up.
At the same time, the other people on the float heard that there were mutants, and immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed to support.
