311 Supply Station
◎Looks like a mad lion◎
The car door was open, but no one moved. The sunlight outside was very strong, and it seemed like two different worlds compared to the inside of the Homecoming.
The stop only lasts ten minutes, so they had to hurry if they wanted to get off. After two minutes, Zhu Ning stood up first. The platform here was lower than the train, and an iron staircase extended out after the door opened.
Zhu Ning walked down step by step. The scenery in front of him was still shaking, and the trees in the distance of the station seemed to be moving.
It's like this when you take a long train or ferry ride. Even if you're standing on solid ground, the world around you is still moving.
After Zhu Ning got off the bus, the others followed. She looked back and could still see rows of people kneeling in bus 1, their backs to them. It was not until the door closed again and the Homecoming Express sped away, with the clanging sound, that they realized that they had really gotten off the bus and the snail shells no longer drilled out of the snail meat.
But the pollution from the Homecoming Express extends beyond the train itself; it also includes the tracks and platforms along the way. Even when they arrived, they didn't dare speak, like tired travelers looking for an exit.
There is no dust at Dora Station, but there are many plastic bags of various colors floating around, and the city is filled with garbage.
They followed the signs inside the station. The gate looked similar to those at other train stations, except for an extra window with a small iron tray. Red words were posted on the glass window: Please return your tickets after arriving at your destination.
The Homecoming train identifies passengers by the tickets they carry, and once they get off the train, they must return the ticket. Zhu Ning originally wanted to keep a souvenir, as this kind of red ticket had not been seen for a long time in her time.
The four people put their tickets into the tray one by one. The tray sank down as if it opened its mouth to swallow the tickets, and then the gate opened.
After walking out of the station, his first reaction was that it was windy outside and the temperature seemed a little colder. Zhu Ning felt it more obviously because he was not wearing a helmet.
Calculating the time, they arrived at Dora Station in just one day and one night, rather than the original three-day plan.
Pei Shu pointed to a tall tower ahead. A red and yellow light flickered on the top of the tower. It was the sign for a supply station. Pei Shu said, "Supply station."
This was the first time they spoke since coming down, and the heavy feeling that had been pressing on them disappeared, but none of them were very excited afterwards.
The supply station meant that the investigators were just ahead. Zhu Ning and his team got off the vehicle, but many investigators died on it.
The journey was very silent, as if we had fought a defeated battle.
…
Duoluo Station North Transfer Supply Office.
The supply point is near the Duoluo Railway Station. It was converted from a shelter and the landmark building is quite conspicuous.
This supply station had been open for seven days. They received a temporary order from Huo Wenxi, saying that they should leave some supplies and a vehicle behind and someone would come to pick them up.
They suffered heavy casualties, and although they could spare one or two empty vehicles, they still couldn't get any help. Huo Wenxi told them their starting point, and they felt it was very risky. They wondered how long it would take to get there without a car.
They cannot stay in the same place for too long. They leave at the appointed time and will not wait for Huo Wenxi for another day.
Because the supply station was close to Dora Station, it had an additional observation mission. The observer said, "Someone has left the station."
Who? They had been observing for so many days and had never seen anything get on or off the bus, so they became alert when they heard this.
The person in charge asked, "Are you sure it's a human?"
The observer was unsure: "Possibly? They were wearing hazmat suits, but one of them wasn't wearing a helmet."
Not wearing a helmet means trouble, maybe it's a bounty hunter, or someone broke into the Homecoming and took the data before the Resurrection Conference.
The person in charge took the telescope and four people really appeared in the camera. They were walking and supporting each other. There were three adults and one child. One of the women was not wearing a helmet and her face was covered in blood. She looked very familiar.
The person in charge's pupils shrank, he moved the camera away, looked again in disbelief, zoomed in the camera, and fixed it on the woman's face.
That’s right, this is Zhu Ning.
Huo Wenxi said it was Zhu Ning who needed a supply vehicle? No wonder he was able to get off the Homecoming.
The relationships on the Beidiao side are managed by Huo Wenxi, who is considered the general manager of District 103. Beidiao doesn't care who is in charge inside the wall, as long as they support exploration outside the wall, they are all friends.
The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "Take a helmet and go over there, keep a low profile."
The person in charge wanted to keep it quiet, but Zhu Ning was too famous. As soon as he arrived at the station, the logistics staff stretched their heads out to see.
Devil, where is the devil?
They were walking outside the wall, information was delayed, and their understanding of various events was different from that of others. They only remembered that Zhu Ning made a "yeah" gesture to the camera and left a message: helloworld.
People outside the wall have seen a lot of things, so they are not as surprised as those inside. When they see injured people, they will stick their heads out to see what is happening. Why is the devil outside the wall?
Zhu Ning entered the supply station. She was originally feeling sick, but with so many people looking at her, she straightened her back.
Qi Xueliu supported her and could clearly feel that Zhu Ning was tense all over, so she helped her to hold her body steady. After doing this, Qi Xueliu wondered why she looked like a maid.
Zhu Ning originally wanted to use the helmet to cover his face, but now it was useless and he could only hold it in his hands.
The person in charge behind him coughed lightly, and those heads that had stuck out quickly retracted as if nothing had happened.
The person in charge looked to be in his thirties or forties, with an unshaven beard and a height of 1.87 meters. He looked very similar to Pei Shu and must have been an investigator before.
He stretched out his hand and said, "My last name is Zhao. You can just call me Lao Zhao. I'm the head of the logistics team here."
The relationship between the logistics team and the investigators is similar to that between the cleaners and the demon hunters. Most of the logistics teams are taken up by investigators after they retire. They are responsible for a wide variety of things, but without them, the investigators cannot survive in the wild.
Zhu Ning shook his hand solemnly, "Zhu Ning."
Did Old Zhao think that demons or true gods were difficult to deal with? Zhu Ning looked like a hapless wretch, completely devoid of style.
Lao Zhao cleared four tents for them and looked at the wounds on Zhu Ning's face and said, "Do you want a medical team? But you have to wait a while. We have a lot of injured people here, and they are still busy."
Zhu Ning: "No, no, do you have a medical kit?"
"There are some in the tent. There are plenty of medical kits, so feel free to use them."
When they arrived at the tent, the others also took off their helmets. Lao Zhao gave them special bags to collect the protective clothing that might be contaminated, and prepared new protective clothing.
But after Pei Shu took off his helmet, Lao Zhao's body trembled noticeably, but soon returned to normal. Zhu Ning guessed that Pei Shu might know this group of people.
Having led people to three contaminated areas, Zhu Ning had to admit that Pei Shu was a very good guide. For the investigators, Pei Shu's visit to the Lu family should be a loss, or more severely, he should be considered a traitor.
Zhu Ning said, "We just got off the Homecoming flight and have some news to hand over to you."
The looters have people who specialize in gathering information, while the investigators have too little information in their hands.
Zhu Ning: "But you may have known this a long time ago. The news is repeated."
Lao Zhao: “It’s never too much.”
Everyone's experience is different, and the information they convey will be slightly different. Sometimes it is these small differences that help us conquer the contaminated area.
Zhu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally felt that he had not been able to help, but now he felt that any help he could provide was welcome.
Zhu Ning: "I'll compile a detailed investigation report for you later."
When Old Zhao heard this, he felt that Zhu Ning was really humble. He actually wrote the investigation report himself. Shouldn't the devil just smile and destroy the world?
Lao Zhao: "Then I'll hand it over to Captain Zhang who is in charge."
"Next time you go, I suggest you bring a mind controller and a powerful water-based psychic." Zhu Ning added, "I suggest you bring the best ones you can find."
Old Zhao smiled bitterly, "We can't find it. Two water systems died on it before."
They got some information and made preparations, but no matter how prepared they were, they couldn't catch up. Every time they got close to someone, they could feel the obvious gap. They were not on the same level of power at all.
It was not due to lack of methods, but simply lack of strength, so it was shelved.
Zhu Ning was silent. Qi Xueliu's precise control of six meters already made her a top talent in the field of mind control. She couldn't imagine how powerful she would need to be to control the water ghost above.
Zhu Ning took a deep breath and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I can join the team."
After Zhu Ning finished speaking, Old Zhao was stunned. "Are you willing to team up with Captain Zhang and the others?"
Zhu Ning nodded. She was not strong enough now, but even if she got on the car, she would find a team with water-based abilities and would not go to die easily.
If both sides controlled the situation and went straight to the rear of the car, it should be over quickly. Zhu Ning felt more and more that the Homecoming was like a safe, which could be opened quickly as long as the "code" was known.
But the prerequisite is that Zhu Ning is still alive before she fully grows up. She has a sequence in her mind, and no matter how big the problem is, it cannot prevent her from killing Prometheus.
Lao Zhao promised to contact Captain Zhang and wanted to ask Zhu Ning for his contact information to facilitate communication and hand over the investigation report later.
Zhu Ning's deputy brain had been lost long ago, and she wanted to ask Lin Xiaofeng for it again, but Pei Shu beside her said, "I'll contact him. I'll write the report later."
Zhu Ning originally thought that Pei Shu was reluctant to deal with his old colleague, but he didn't expect him to be so proactive. The investigation report he wrote was much more professional than his own, so he didn't care about the matter and left it to Pei Shu.
Several people went into the tent to rest. The signal at the supply station was very good. Zhu Ning finally found an opportunity and called Liu Niannian.
After learning the news about Liu Niannian from Pei Shu, she was a little hesitant about how to start the conversation.
Old Zhao gave her a new communicator that looked like an old flip phone. The call was disconnected after two beeps, so it must have been inconvenient to answer the call.
Zhu Ning sat cross-legged and took medicine for herself while waiting. After she was done, Zhu Ning held the nutritional supplement in her mouth, but she didn't feel like eating. This time she didn't swallow the pollution source, so she didn't eat.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Niannian called back. She was very excited to hear about Zhu Ning's experiences outside the wall.
But Zhu Ning's next words made her silent for a while, and the silence became more and more intense. Finally, Zhu Ning thought the call was hung up.
Zhu Ning listened to Liu Niannian's breathing without urging her to hurry. After a long while, Liu Niannian finally said, "I had a dream."
When Zhu Ning heard her talk about her dream, she felt it was very strange and wonderful. The eldest lady was trapped in the kingdom of God, and all her adventures took place in her dreams.
Is this dream a memory? Or a suggestion? No one can tell.
When Liu Niannian talked about her water-based abilities, Zhu Ning had to think more. If she was contaminated because she inherited it from Liu Yu, then Liu Yu might have really been on the Homecoming back then, but because she was in absolute control, she got off the train safely.
Liu Yu probably took the Homecoming Express just as a simple train to take her along the way.
Or did Liu Yu treat the Homecoming as a safe, waiting for Liu Niannian, who would inherit his abilities, to "open the box"?
Liu Niannian frankly said, "My mother left no records, no diaries, rarely took photos, and never took photos when she went out for charity events. We only took family photos every Chinese New Year. We don't have any family videos. I know very little about her."
Liu Niannian's fingers trembled when she said this. She was clearly the mother who gave birth to her. Apart from her mother and the glamorous Mrs. Lu, who was Liu Yu? Liu Niannian knew nothing about this.
Liu Yu seemed to have deliberately concealed her past, even from her own daughter.
Liu Niannian's voice gradually became hoarse: "She wants to take me out of the wall."
Liu Niannian had always thought that Liu Yu wanted to take her to commit suicide. Liu Yu might not love her very much, so she wanted to take her to die, but if Liu Yu came from outside the wall, she might want to take her away.
Zhu Ning's news made her look back on what happened back then, as if she wanted to dig up some solid evidence of her mother's love for her from the past.
Liu Niannian said, "I'll try to find out. My brother might know. If he doesn't know, I'll ask my father and report to you then."
There must be someone in the family who knows the truth, but Liu Niannian doesn't know how to ask without arousing suspicion.
When Zhu Ning heard the word "report", she inexplicably thought of Li Xin, the little ant spider in the red house, who was her first friend in the polluted world. They used to play adventure games and report to each other.
Liu Niannian is her new friend, the little princess on the isolated island.
Zhu Ning: "Be careful. I'll call you when I get to the next stop."
Liu Niannian spoke to her a few more words and finally hung up. Zhu Ning felt a little upset. She sighed and went to take a shower.
She didn't expect that taking a bath would be such a luxury one day. She suddenly missed the big bathtub in Huo Wenxi's house.
She came out of the shower and went into the tent with wet hair. Zhu Ning stared at the mirror for a while. Her hair was too long and a bit cumbersome.
Maybe because they had just talked about Liu Niannian's mother, Zhu Ning thought of Zhu Yao. Before the zombie crisis broke out, she had changed several hairstyles, but after Zhu Yao's death, she always kept long hair because her mother had a very old-fashioned aesthetic and liked little girls to wear big high ponytails.
Zhu Yao never forced it, but Zhu Ning knew she liked it.
Zhu Ning's face was covered with long hair, which was an eyesore no matter how she looked at it. Zhu Ning had just asked, and there was no clipper or barber at the supply station, and it was impossible for her to use the pig man's guillotine to cut her hair.
Zhu Ning thought for a moment, gathered the ends of his hair, twisted it in his palm, and slashed it backwards with a short dagger, cutting the heavy hair to his neck.
She casually threw her hair into the trash can and stood up to blow-dry her hair. It was not noticeable because her hair was wet just now, but now it was dry, it looked very good. It can be said that her hairdressing skills are not good at all.
Zhu Ning looked like a mad lion.
Never mind. No one could see him outside the wall because he was wearing a helmet. Zhu Ning closed his eyes, pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.
