193 Eve
◎A region-wide pollution is about to occur...◎
Huo family safe house.
Late at night, Xu Meng sat alone by the bed.
Xu Meng's mind was in a mess. She slept for a very long time and dreamt of all kinds of bizarre things.
She dreamed of Cheng Mofei, various versions of Cheng Mofei, Cheng Mofei who turned into a snail man, and Cheng Mofei who crawled at her feet.
Cheng Mofei, who lowered his head and shyly called the captain, would walk silently at the end of the team and look at all the team members when they were on action.
After Xu Meng came down from the cloud of consciousness, he recalled many things that had become vague in his memory, and those details were filtered out in the sieve of memory.
Now, in a state of mental confusion, all of them are pouring out.
Cheng Mofei's bracelet rested on Xu Meng's knees. The blue screen had already lit up, displaying a few words: [Password correct, all permissions unlocked.]
Boom boom boom——
Lynx's voice came from outside the door, "Captain?"
Lynx had just heard some movement in Xu Meng's bedroom and had already put one hand on the door handle.
Xu Meng calmly put away the bracelet and replied in a calm tone, "What's wrong?"
Shanmao was a boy, and even though he considered Xu Meng his sister, he wouldn't have rashly entered her room. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Meng's voice and asked, "How are you?"
Xu Meng's voice sounded hoarse. "It's okay. I'll take a moment."
Shanmao: "Shall I inform Zhu Ning?"
Xu Meng: "I'll tell her myself."
Shanmao stood at the door of Xu Meng's room and paused when he heard this. He had received a message from Zhu Ning before.
"I've reported the Cheetah Team to the investigation team. Huo Wenxi will take over the investigation into the truth behind Cheng Mofei's death. Something's going to happen in District 103. Find a way to leave."
Zhu Ning did not explain the specific reason, but only told them to leave quickly. This information was absolutely credible. The situation today was very chaotic, and many people were rushing to the dock.
But Bobcat didn't want to leave. As long as Cheng Mofei's problem was not resolved, no one in the Cheetah Team could leave Area 103 with peace of mind.
Zhu Ning sent it to both Shanmao and Daju, and Daju had the same stance as Shanmao.
Xu Meng must have received it as well. They planned to wait for the captain to read it before making a decision. If the captain gave up, they would follow Xu Meng's arrangements.
Bobcat: "Have a good rest."
Xu Meng was listening to the mountain cat's movements in the room. Her temples were throbbing and her brain felt as if someone had stabbed it with a knife, leaving scars of all sizes inside.
Xu Meng injected himself with a mental healing agent before opening the secondary brain.
Zhu Ning sent her many messages:
[Captain, I'm on a mission today.]
【I'm going here, I'll see you tomorrow. 】
Zhu Ning must have temporarily entered a contaminated area. She said at the time that she would report her itinerary to Xu Meng no matter where she went, and Zhu Ning did so.
[I wanted to visit you today, but it’s not convenient for me to go out. They call me a devil.]
[I want to share information with you, but by the time you wake up, Team Leader Huo will probably have already made a public statement. You can just watch it then.]
Xu Meng's breathing was very heavy. When she wanted to send a message to Zhu Ning, she realized that her hands were shaking.
She always made typos and deleted the wrong parts. It took Xu Meng a long time to type out a line of words: "I'm awake, don't worry."
Zhu Ning didn't know what he was busy with and didn't reply for a long time. Xu Meng supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands.
Her hands were so strong that they crumpled the bed sheets. She was breathing deeply, completely immersed in Cheng Mofei's last words and unable to extricate herself.
Cheng Mofei in the video looked so vivid that the information revealed was difficult for her to understand.
She had thought about it countless times and imagined all kinds of possibilities, but never this one.
Ding Dong——
Four minutes later, Zhu Ning replied: [You scared me to death. I thought you were going to become a fool.]
Xu Meng's hands were shaking, and Zhu Ning didn't ask her if she remembered the password.
Compared with Cheng Mofei's investigation report, Zhu Ning was more worried about Xu Meng himself.
Xu Meng has been an undercover agent for many years. She is best at lying and concealing her true emotions, but this is the first time she finds lying so difficult.
She took a long time to type out a line of words: [Sorry, I can't think of the password.]
Zhu Ning replied immediately: [It's okay, I think I know what's inside. Your safety is the most important thing.]
Zhu Ning must be very busy and has no time to chat with Xu Meng. She told Xu Meng to have a good rest and asked her to find a way to leave Area 103 as soon as possible. If she didn't have a pass, Zhu Ning would help find a solution.
Xu Meng agreed, and Zhu Ning didn't send any more messages.
The whole room fell into a strange silence. The safe house was very quiet. Xu Meng covered his left ear and suddenly felt a little tinnitus.
The blue electronic light illuminated Xu Meng's face. She had agreed with Zhu Ning that she would share the news once it was opened.
Xu Meng actually broke her promise.
…
Zhu Ning turned off his secondary brain, and the pale blue light on his face disappeared.
Song Zhizhang asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ning frowned: "I can't explain it, I just feel like the captain is a little weird."
Xu Meng was too slow in replying to messages. Was this the legendary aftereffect of brain damage?
Zhu Ning had a strange feeling in her heart that was hard to describe. It was surprisingly similar to the feeling she had when she first saw Xu Meng's back at the Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation.
Zhu Ning didn't think about it too much, she was very busy now.
In this situation, Zhu Ning is of little influence and can only take care of so many people. The Cheetah Team really has no time to take care of them.
Her family is here.
Shen Xingqiao and Ye Fei were sitting in her living room. They were called over by Zhu Ning. Zhu Ning's reputation was so bad now that he was almost labeled as a pollutant.
They were reluctant to go far, so they stayed nearby and it only took them ten minutes to walk over.
After hearing what Zhu Ning said, Shen Xingqiao's face was heavy. What Zhu Ning said that year was about to come true.
Ye Fei looked puzzled and asked, "Boss, are you married?"
Zhu Ning: “…”
After listening to what I said, the first question you want to ask is this?
Not only Ye Fei wanted to ask, Shen Xingqiao also wanted to ask. She had never been to the Noble Queen Store and didn't know that Zhu Ning's new parents were like this.
There is a man in the house and a transparent little girl wearing a red hat. The little girl is very shy and keeps hiding behind Song Zhizhang.
Shen Xingqiao had the illusion that she was in one of those melodramatic idol dramas where the eldest daughter disappeared, and then it was discovered that she had lost her memory and had formed a new family with a poor boy in the countryside.
Ye Fei: "It's okay, I can join this family... Damn, why did you hit me?"
Ye Fei didn't finish his words when Shen Xingqiao elbowed him. Shen Xingqiao glared at him and whispered, "What do you mean by joining? Do you agree?"
Shen Xingqiao just couldn't stand Song Zhizhang. Where did such a big kid come from?
Song Zhizhang has seen the world and has a high emotional intelligence, so it's rare for him to feel embarrassed.
He now looks like a turnip that is being picked on and disliked by others.
Song Zhizhang: "Well, we are not that kind of relationship..."
Shen Xingqiao pressed, "What kind of relationship is that?"
"I..." Song Zhizhang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he looked at Zhu Ning for help.
Shen Xingqiao: "Do you like her?"
Song Zhizhang opened his mouth and almost blurted out something.
"Enough!" Zhu Ning's forehead twitched. He felt that these people were being particularly noisy. He made the final decision, "Anyway, that's what it is. You all go together."
Shen Xingqiao no longer worried about Song Zhizhang. She had promised to take care of Zhu Ning. Once she and Ye Fei left, Zhu Ning's safety would become a problem.
"Zhu Ning, we..."
"Stop it," Zhu Ning said, "Don't argue with me about this. I can knock you out and throw you away."
Shen Xingqiao and Ye Fei both kept their mouths shut. No one dared to offend Zhu Ning when he was angry.
Zhu Ning slowed down his voice, "I'm going to sleep. I have a mission tomorrow."
Sleeping is a luxury at this time, and Zhu Ning must ensure that he is in good condition.
Besides, she didn't want to talk anymore. If she continued to argue like this, it would go on and on. Wouldn't these people just burst into tears?
Shen Xingqiao and Ye Fei did not protest anymore. Zhu Ning was under great pressure, and what they should do at this time was to cooperate with the action.
Lin Xiaofeng said softly: "Can I sleep with you today?"
Lin Xiaofeng's voice was very soft. She didn't dare to speak when there were too many people around. She mustered up the courage to put forward her demands.
Zhu Ning taught her that if she wanted something, she should just say it directly and not suppress her needs, and Zhu Ning would satisfy her.
Zhu Ning softened, "Okay."
Shen Xingqiao: "Can I sleep with you?"
Ye Fei: "I want to too."
Shen Xingqiao: "You are a man."
Ye Fei: "What's wrong with a man? We have slept together since we were young, and we slept together last time."
Zhu Ning: “…”
She felt like there was a circle of bees around her, buzzing non-stop, making a headache, but she didn't hate it.
Finally, they moved the coffee table away, made a bed on the floor, and placed five pillows in a row.
Zhu Ning slept in the middle, and Lin Xiaofeng slept on her left, hugging her waist.
The little girl was quiet and didn't say or make any noise even though she knew there were big changes.
Shen Xingqiao slept on her right side, and Ye Fei slept next to Shen Xingqiao.
Song Zhizhang didn't want to participate in such a childish activity. Just as he was about to leave to give them some space to talk privately, Zhu Ning said, "Where are you going? Lie down right now."
Song Zhizhang: “…”
Zhu Ning knew that Song Zhizhang was a person who tended to overthink things. With his family lying neatly together, it would be boring for Song Zhizhang to go upstairs alone.
Song Zhizhang had no choice but to lie down next to Ye Fei with his clothes on. As soon as he lay down, he felt Ye Fei's gaze.
Ye Fei's eyes were wide open, staring at Song Zhizhang.
The lights in the room went out and no one spoke for a long time. No one could fall asleep in such a situation.
"You think that if it is really purified, the pollutants underground will disappear? Wouldn't it be empty then?" Ye Fei couldn't help but speak.
He originally thought that if he opened his mouth, Shen Xingqiao would beat him up, and Zhu Ning would tell him to shut up, but no one interrupted.
Shen Xingqiao: "I never thought it would collapse if it were empty."
If it is really that big, and nothing is underneath, will it sink?
Zhu Ning: "I can't figure it out either."
What will it be like in the end? Will the pollutants really disappear? I haven't experienced it, so my imagination is a bit lacking.
Shen Xingqiao: "If it disappears, will our District 103 be the first pure land?"
Ye Fei was a little excited when he heard this, "That makes sense, then it's not that we can't buy a pass, it's that they want to come here but don't have a ticket."
Shen Xingqiao: "Then if I buy and sell the passes, can I make a fortune?"
Ye Fei: "I think this is a feasible way, Boss, we are going to get rich."
Zhu Ning found it interesting when he heard it. Although he had no memory of the first generation, this should have been the way they got along at that time.
That’s great. This kind of relationship that comes from growing up together is really precious. The difference between her and the first generation machine is not that big.
"Zhu Ning," Song Zhizhang, who had been silent the whole time, finally said, "You will succeed."
Before Jili could stop talking, Ye Fei immediately followed up, "I wish you a smooth mission tomorrow."
Shen Xingqiao: "Come back alive."
Lin Xiaofeng hugged Zhu Ning's waist tightly: "It must go smoothly."
Zhu Ning has been in this world for two months and has been running for her life most of the time. This is the first time she feels so good. She has experienced the warmth of being surrounded by family.
"I'll take your good words."
She really needs encouragement now. Encouragement is meaningless. It is just a light and casual word that anyone can say. Such auspicious words will not change any reality, but she likes to hear nice words.
"You can do it."
"You're amazing, you're the best."
When he was a child, Zhu Yao always said this, saying that Zhu Ning was so arrogant at such a young age. Some people were very suspicious and wondered why Zhu Ning was so arrogant.
Zhu Ning always thought, it’s innate.
The logic of spiritual pollution is repetition, repeated crazy ravings, and repeated horrific scenes.
Negative things are like a brainwashing cycle that makes people lose their rationality.
Zhu Ning likes positive repetition very much. If you repeat a nice word countless times, she will believe it.
Zhu Ning has come into contact with a lot of horrific pollution, but people still focus on those small things.
Shen Xingqiao and Ye Fei can risk their lives to help her, Huo Wenxi will leave two passes, and Song Zhizhang will help her take care of Lin Xiaofeng.
She often wondered what it meant to be a human being and what it meant to be alive, but now she felt that it didn't matter. Even if she died tomorrow, today would be worth it.
Zhu Ning did not force himself to sleep. They had been chatting all day, and they felt more relaxed as the conversation went on. He didn't even realize when he fell asleep.
Countdown to doomsday, day five.
Five people got up at eight o'clock in the morning. Song Zhizhang packed up the supplies, and Shen Xingqiao and Ye Fei didn't need to bring anything.
Next, they just had to wait for the Huo family’s car to pick them up at three o’clock in the afternoon.
While waiting, at nine in the morning, their secondary brains rang at the same time.
Ding-ling-ling——
A message popped up with the title: "Emergency! Must-read for District 103 residents!"
Not knowing what Huo Wenxi had done, Zhu Ning initially thought she would make a public report within the cleaning center, but she didn't expect it to be for the entire district.
Without hiding anything, Huo Wenxi strives to let the residents of District 103 know the truth as soon as possible.
At that moment, thousands of secondary brains were turned on, and light blue light hit everyone's face.
The central square, roadside billboards, underground TV screens, discarded electronic screens in the garbage dump, every screen that can convey information was temporarily requisitioned.
Labao stopped collecting trash, and his electronic screen was taken over by a higher-level artificial intelligence.
Huo Wenxi's face appeared on countless screens.
Huo Wenxi's long hair was tied up behind her head, and she wore an eye patch on her right eye. The injured eye did not make her look weak, but instead added a sense of calmness to her.
"Hello everyone, I'm Huo Wenxi, the leader of the District 103 Cleanliness Center's investigation team. Today, I'll be making a public report to the entire district. Unfortunately, a district-wide pollution crisis is imminent..."
