341 Contact
◎He said his name was Bobcat◎
The flying fish line was very spectacular. Passing under it was like roaming on the seabed. The flying car became a submarine, and they, a few mortals, looked up at the mutated creatures.
It also looks like a grand festival celebration, with hot air balloons in the shape of fish flying in the sky.
Pei Shu and Bai Cheng had been here several times, and they had become accustomed to the world outside the wall. Lin Xiaofeng even slowed down his breathing while driving, for fear of disturbing the flying fish in the sky.
The flying car shuttled through the flying fish, the nearest one was only fifty meters away from them. The huge fish eyes filled the car windows, and they could only see part of the flying fish when they looked out.
It’s beautiful, like a dream.
They are outsiders who have strayed in, and the giant flying fish are the masters of the sky.
Zhu Ning asked softly, "Is there no danger?"
Pei Shu knitted while saying, "No, I've been here more than a dozen times, and I've never heard of them attacking anyone. No one knows why they exist."
They just float, not attacking or setting traps, like clouds in the sky.
This place is like a buffer zone facing the dangerous world. It is very quiet and peaceful. It is completely different after crossing it.
Bai Cheng took over, "Someone once attempted to attack, wondering what value these flying fish had. I happened to be there."
It sounds like something a bounty hunter would do. Maybe killing a flying fish would drop treasure, just like people hunted elephants before the apocalypse and got rich.
Zhu Ning asked, "And then? Did you succeed?"
"The bullet passed through the flying fish, and then," Bai Cheng's voice was stiff, and his words were ruthless, "with a bang, the flying fish disappeared."
"Disappear?" Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes," Bai Cheng's fingers simulated an explosion, "like a bubble, it bursts when poked, but it recovers after a while, so the flying fishing line becomes a landmark."
Bai Cheng added: "Some people say that this thing is similar to a mirage, a projection of another world, and what we see is just an illusion, but it is also possible that they are just bubbles."
It cannot be completely removed, and there is no harm, but the pollution concentration is very high. Humans can do nothing about flying fish and can only let them exist. They cannot take over this land.
Pei Shu said, "There are many gentle creatures outside the wall, such as large mutant guinea pigs. I was once injured and hid among a group of guinea pigs. I recovered from my injuries before rejoining the main force."
Zhu Ning couldn't help but imagine the scene: a group of migrating guinea pigs, bringing a human with them.
These flying fish really had no interest in the flying cars. They cast very shallow shadows as they swam above. Zhu Ning watched for a while. The ultimate goal given by the system was to purify the entire world. If that day really came, would these creatures disappear?
The moving herds of guinea pigs, the swimming flying fish and the running mountains will no longer exist.
This seems to be a goal that, apart from being beneficial to humans, does not change anything for other creatures in the world, as other creatures have already evolved through the baptism of nature.
There is a shelter just below the flying fish line, which was not a remodeled building by humans in the old world, but was built by later people.
The Flying Fish Line serves as an important watershed, and they established a transit station. The newly constructed buildings of the Federation have stronger resistance to various attacks, and are buried underground like a huge fortress.
Zhu Ning set out with beef noodles as his destination. Huo Wenxi said that this was the station that could provide hot food. This supply station was stationed all year round and was not mobile.
The supply station, set against the backdrop of the giant flying fish, looks like the residence of elves in a fairy tale world.
Zhu Ning entered the supply station, where there was a bustling group of people. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of cooking. People here cook all year round, so even if they don't cook, there is still a smell of food.
Zhu Ning understood the importance of the supply station outside the wall. It was like a microcosm of humanity's hometown.
The base was large, with about forty people inside. They all knew Zhu Ning was coming, and greeted her in a restrained and polite manner.
Pei Shu followed behind and wanted to laugh. Zhu Ning seemed like an idol who was forced to perform and immediately got into the mood.
The contact person turned out to be Lao Zhao, an old acquaintance. When they first met, Lao Zhao gave each of Zhu Ning and the others a matcha mochi as a greeting gift. Zhu Ning's heart softened. The logistics team was really capable and knew how to make people relax.
Although they are classmates, Lao Zhao and Pei Shu have completely opposite personalities. As decadent as Pei Shu is, Lao Zhao is as cheerful. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to do logistics work.
Pei Shu handed the first-hand information about Fengyu Village to Lao Zhao, including silt samples and some underwater information collection. The electronic data had been sent. Lao Zhao did not ask much, he only knew that this thing was to be given to Huo Wenxi.
"The front of your car is dented. Let me help you fix it." A mechanic took Zhu Ning's car and wanted to maintain it.
"Wait," Lin Xiaofeng blurted out. She was usually very quiet, but suddenly she felt anxious, her face flushed. "I, I'll go with you."
This flying car was just like Lin Xiaofeng's daughter. She was afraid that others would follow it. The man saw that she was interested, so he gave her the replacement parts and asked her to operate it.
Zhu Ning felt that Lin Xiaofeng really liked cars, and she would probably fight to the death if anyone dared to touch her car.
Lao Zhao commented: "Your team is truly full of hidden talents."
Old Zhao was more familiar with Pei Shu. They had established a connection last time, and it seemed they were as close as they had been in the foster camp. He hooked his arm around Pei Shu's shoulder and pulled out a new bag of yarn. "Yours."
"Thanks." Pei Shu crawled under his shoulder, thinking about maintaining his weapon later. He said hello to Zhu Ning and left.
Bai Cheng had no interest in socializing. She went to take a shower, leaving Zhu Ning and Lao Zhao staring at each other. Zhu Ning thought for a moment, then used his social skills to ask, "Is there really beef noodles?"
"Yes," Lao Zhao asked, "Are you eating now?"
Huo Wenxi actually didn't lie to her. Zhu Ning said modestly, "It's troublesome."
Lao Zhao asked the logistics department to handle it. Zhu Ning would stay here for a day. They had received the news long ago and left a tent at the back. Zhu Ning observed and found that there were fewer wounded here than last time.
Lao Zhao explained: "Once you cross the flying fishing line, there's basically no need for rescue."
This is a very cold statement, but it is the truth, usually when someone dies, even the body cannot be found, and the medical team is insufficient.
Zhu Ning changed the subject, "I remember you went to provide support, calling the Raven Team?"
Old Zhao didn't expect Zhu Ning to remember his story. "Yes, we contacted each other, and later the headquarters sent three more teams over to temporarily station there."
Old Zhao lowered his voice, as if telling a big secret, "The Raven Team was attacked by mutant birds. Many people died, and some could not be rescued. Only six people are left alive."
Old Zhao, apparently finding the bad news unpleasant, added, "But it's a blessing in disguise. They discovered underground ruins and seem to have discovered something. They're probably still there. They can't leave for two weeks. I heard headquarters is sending support. It's quite a big deal."
Zhu Ning didn't ask any more questions. She wasn't very interested in exploring outside the wall, and it might be confidential information, so there would be no more information.
Old Zhao thought Zhu Ning was very sensible and didn't even ask questions. However, he didn't know what happened next. The logistics team only needed to know the general idea. The core information was sent to the headquarters and was kept highly confidential. It was estimated that not many people in the entire federation could see it.
In their view, this is a good thing. All teams have made progress, and whichever side can advance wins.
Later, Lao Zhao was transferred to Feiyu Line by the headquarters. The original person in charge fell ill, and Lao Zhao became the new general manager. If nothing unexpected happened, he would stay here for a long time. What a coincidence, he received news that Zhu Ning was coming. Isn’t this an old friend?
Outside the wall, if you meet twice, you are considered old friends, and if you meet three times, you are considered friends for life.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Lao Zhao suddenly remembered something, "someone from the Raven team said he knew you."
"Hmm?" Zhu Ning mumbled while biting the mochi.
Lao Zhao was a little embarrassed. "I told everyone that we knew each other, you won't be angry, right?"
Zhu Ning: "Why are you so angry? We already know each other, so you can say whatever you want."
Old Zhao chuckled, "I went to the logistics team over there and told them I'd received a demon. The news got out, and then someone came to see me. He was quite handsome, but very cold. At first I thought he was looking for trouble. Some investigators are under a lot of pressure, and seeing the logistics team like to make things difficult, he actually asked if I was really Zhu Ning."
Zhu Ning felt that Lao Zhao's story lacked a key point, so he asked, "And then?"
"I said that it could be fake, so I told him your story." Lao Zhao actually likes telling stories to people. People outside the wall are nervous, and Lao Zhao wants them to relax. Zhu Ning has enriched his material library.
Old Zhao talked a lot of nonsense, but this kid was different from the others. He was so tall, but he just hung his head and no one knew what he was thinking.
He was covered in wounds, and his wounds were frozen. Those who could survive were all strong characters, but Old Zhao saw that he looked pitiful.
Lao Zhao: "He was stunned for a long time. I don't think he was this shocked even when he saw the pollutants."
Zhu Ning thought for a moment. She only knew one outsider investigator, Pei Shu, and no one else. She asked, "What's his name?"
"He said his name was Bobcat."
Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment, "Ice-type ability user?"
Old Zhao clapped his hands, "How did you know? You really know that guy!"
Zhu Ning didn't expect to hear Bobcat's name outside the wall. It seemed like she was someone she knew in her previous life. She used to be very close to the Cheetah team, almost like an extra member of their team, or a substitute teammate.
Zhu Ning once joked with Xu Meng, asking when she would be made a regular employee and letting her join the Cat Team, as she even had a code name.
Later, Zhu Ning did not contact the Cheetah Team. She was just happy to know that the other members were safe. She always felt that there was no reason to meet them again.
Even if we meet again, it’s still a bit awkward and not as natural as before.
I didn't expect Shanmao to end up as an outside investigator. What a surprising choice! Did Shanmao have to go through the same training process as Pei Shu? Becoming just a tool for finding information? That must be tough.
In the Cheetah Team, Zhu Ning has the best relationship with Xu Meng, followed by Daju. She is not actually familiar with Shanmao, she only remembers that he is not talkative and can peel apples in the shape of little rabbits.
Old Zhao couldn't tell what Zhu Ning meant, and she didn't seem particularly happy. Zhu Ning asked, "And then?"
Lao Zhao: "Oh, he asked me for your contact information, but I didn't think it was a good idea. I can't let him harass you. I thought about asking for your opinion later, but then I got busy and forgot. I just remembered it."
"But," Lao Zhao continued, "I hadn't rejected him yet. After he said that, he quickly said no and added my contact information instead. I guess he was embarrassed to contact you."
It's quite strange. When Lao Zhao talked about bobcats, Zhu Ning could actually imagine the expression of a bobcat in his mind. The bobcat was shy even when applying medicine. It probably thought that Zhu Ning didn't want to contact the Cheetah Team and disturbing her rashly would make her hate it.
Zhu Ning finished the last bite of the mochi and said casually, "Then you give it to him."
