Chapter 165
After Lu Jiamu was called away, the old man began to feel uneasy.
He was very wary of official organizations, even to the point of blind fear. He believed that this time he had entered the official blockade area, and although he was very low-key and did not cause any trouble, it must have attracted the attention of official organizations, and he might be found and dealt with soon.
Hearing that they seemed to have had some dealings with official organizations, he immediately began to try to get some information out of Yu Leng.
Yu Leng had no choice but to tell the old man about his experiences with the base.
He felt relieved after learning that the official organization's current style of handling things is not to deal with problematic people when problems arise, he felt relieved.
At first, Yu Leng paid close attention to the messages on his mobile phone in case other people wanted to contact him urgently.
Later, after receiving several messages that roughly explained the situation and let him know that they were coexisting peacefully with the base, he was completely relieved.
The fact that Lu Jiamu had been called away for several days did not affect his mood at all. Every day, Yu Leng took the little boy and two new friends to hang out, eat and drink, and enjoy a comfortable life.
When Coleman came back, the house was empty and no one was there. He didn't come back from outside until very late.
Seeing Kou Man, he was a little surprised: "Sister Man is back today? Why didn't you send me a text message to let me know and let me bring you some food. Have you eaten?"
After receiving a positive answer, Yu Leng collapsed comfortably on the sofa: "Ah, it's been a long time since I've lived such a lively life. This is life."
The little boy also became a lot more lively, no longer as timid and shy as before. After calling Kouman "Sister", he climbed onto Yu Leng's belly and lay down.
Coleman was not sure whether to laugh or cry when he saw how much they were enjoying themselves. He moved the document box he had brought back over and said, "Someone asked me to return the personal belongings that were confiscated from you before, and also asked me to give you a warning, telling you not to make trouble again in the future, otherwise you might be targeted."
When he heard that they were his personal belongings, Yu Leng suddenly became alert and immediately sat up to rummage through the box.
It contained the cell phone he had been carrying when he first came into this world, some random keys from somewhere unknown, a wallet, ID card, and so on. It also kindly included a copy of his personal file, which should be a background check conducted by the base on him.
Yu Leng immediately opened the file and started reading.
After reading the background investigation report, Yu Leng finally knew some of his background information, such as his current address, the information down to the specific house number, whether the house was bought or rented, where other family members lived, and his contact number.
Now it was given to him among the items, and he didn't know if it was some kind of warning. But Yu Leng was very grateful that it helped him recognize himself.
After briefly listening to Coleman's talk about the other people's situations and communicating with each other, he immediately greeted Coleman, then excitedly took the keys and went out to find his "current address".
It was an ordinary apartment building next to the original Internet cafe. Yu Leng had too many keys on him and didn't know which one was his, so he started trying one by one. It took him a while to find the correct key to open the door.
After finding "his own" place to live, Yu Leng felt more comfortable.
Before, he relied on Coleman for food and drink. Although Coleman didn't mind, and they were all close friends who had shared the same shabby dormitory, he always felt guilty for being a freeloader for others and not providing any value.
Now I finally have my own place to live and my own money to eat. This is what life should be like, he thought as he lay in bed.
After lying down and studying the background information for a while, Yu Leng made up a few poor excuses for himself in his mind, and then hesitantly dialed the number listed on the background information.
"Hello, Dad," after hearing a male voice answering the phone, he immediately found an impeccable excuse for himself, "I'm a little short of money recently, can you lend me some money?"
Although his sudden remarks did not have many flaws in his character, they still immediately attracted a barrage of curses, and the other party quickly hung up the phone.
Although it seemed that no one gave him money in the end, Yu Leng always felt that there was a sense of dislocation that made his life more real.
The next day, Coleman returned to school.
What the man in black said about finding an excuse for her turned out to be true. Everyone from her colleagues to school leaders thought that she had a serious illness and suddenly collapsed on the way to work and was sent to the hospital. That's why she suddenly disappeared without a trace. She had just had surgery and was still in the recovery period.
They came to comfort her and advised her to rest more.
Even the leave note was serious.
After dealing with them all, Coleman quietly started investigating around the school.
Because the man in black had asked for a long vacation for her, all the classes that she was supposed to teach had substitute teachers. She came back very suddenly and the classes had not been adjusted back, which resulted in her having almost all free time.
She used her free time to observe every corner of the school. Not finding anything unusual, she returned to her workstation to be on guard, and occasionally walked around the doors of each classroom.
For several days, the weather was calm and nothing unusual happened.
This school has a very good source of students. All of them are obedient, sensible and well-behaved students who are young. Not only do no students skip classes, it is even rare to see them sleeping in class.
It really has nothing to do with being punished for being disobedient.
Occasionally, Coleman would see some vehicles from the base monitoring this area, but they didn't seem to have observed any strange phenomena here, and gradually the frequency of their appearance became less and less.
The base’s current focus is still on the follow-up affairs of that mountain.
Although the wildfire took several days to be extinguished and the mountain suffered devastating damage from thermal weapons, the base was still worried that it would spread downwards through cracks in the rocks and the ground, and that some residue would remain.
They dispatched a large number of manpower and resources into the mountains to survey, and even if they had to dig deep holes in the ground, they had to carry out a multi-level attack.
Coleman's daily routine consists of visiting his friends, going to school, and returning home from get off work.
After receiving his personal belongings and being well behaved for two days, Yu Leng felt that he had completely accepted the olive branch, so he dared to go to the temporary station to visit Lu Jiamu and Wei Xiaoyan.
After three days of isolation, Lu Jiamu has ended the isolation and can go out.
Wei Xiaoyan fell into a coma mainly because the surrounding temperature was too high when she escaped and her body was weak and she suffered from heatstroke. She regained consciousness on the first day of isolation.
Because she has lived in the anomaly for too long, the risk of infection is extremely high, and the isolation cannot be simply ended directly.
After repeated examinations using multiple methods to confirm that there was no suspected red sticky substance attached to her entire body from the outer skin to the inner digestive tract and respiratory mucosa, she was successfully transferred to a general hospital.
Although the three days of treatment did not make her completely healthy, the swelling on her body had subsided a lot, and she looked a little more alive. After getting some essential nutrients for the human body, her skin color also improved a little, and she didn't look so dead at any moment.
The whole person no longer looks like a swollen female corpse.
After she stayed in a regular hospital for a few more days, the hospital announced that she was free again and could go out freely while receiving long-term treatment.
Although the base promised to cover her subsequent hospitalization expenses after she signed a confidentiality agreement because she was a person with special abilities and might have great potential for training, the mental damage caused to Wei Xiaoyan by her experiences in this world was too great.
Every time her consciousness weakened, even if she was just taking a nap and was half asleep, she felt like she was back in her nest in the Flesh Forest, and the world was falling apart before her eyes again.
This made her extremely frightened and she showed some signs of mental disorder.
In order to maintain confidentiality, the base arranged a single room for her. After dark, when she woke up in the middle of the night, her memories were always confused and she lost herself. She fell into great fear of loneliness and thought it was the end of the world and she was the only one left.
She is also malnourished and night blind. She can't see clearly when it gets dark, and the dark environment makes her think everything has turned back to the deadly red.
After she was reluctantly moved to a double room, she began to show certain persecution-related delusions to varying degrees.
She needs someone who is familiar and trustworthy to accompany her.
Instead of letting Coleman run back and forth to accompany her, she might as well go to the hospital for treatment during the day and come back to stay with Coleman at night.
There are limited rooms in Kouman's house, and in order to avoid disturbing their quality of life, Yu Leng has moved out early.
Lu Jiamu couldn't continue to stay in Kouman's house and eat and drink for free with a shameless face.
But no one knew what the man in black was thinking. He might have thought that he was more obedient than Yu Leng and not as destructive.
Therefore, there was no personal background check file among Lu Jiamu’s personal belongings, which seemed like some kind of warning.
This resulted in him not knowing where his home was even though he had the key with him, and he couldn't go home and enjoy life like Yu Leng.
Before leaving the temporary command point, Lu Jiamu hinted to the man in black several times that since everyone had reached a peace agreement, he should send someone to take him back home. He also hinted to him to return his file and that he cared a lot about his personal privacy, but the other party pretended to be stupid after hearing this.
I don't know if he wanted to test whether his reaction when he didn't get the information would be different from Yu Leng's reaction when he got the background information. In the end, he asked someone to send him back to Kouman's house without any mistakes.
Lu Jiamu still didn't know where his home was.
He knows that the other party is most likely just looking for trouble, and this kind of busybody will not achieve his goal, and no matter how openly you ask him, he will definitely find an excuse to fool you, so it is better not to make yourself unhappy.
Lu Jiamu had no choice but to go along with the other party's wishes and went to stay at Yu Leng's "new" home in a disgraceful mood.
Fortunately, Yu Leng also needed a close friend with whom he had shared the same experience to accompany him in eating, drinking and having fun, so he was extremely welcoming of his arrival.
Apart from hanging around the school and observing the situation every day, they would stay at home together, chatting and watching TV shows they had never seen before, ordering fried chicken and sparkling water, enjoying the long-lost benefits of modern technology, and occasionally practicing the skills they had learned in the past in their free time.
Living under the same roof every day, Lu Jiamu discovered within two days that after Yu Leng had the good fortune to obtain the background check information and knew his personal network, he would secretly call the people there every day.
Although the phone calls were made behind his back, since it was a fixed project every day, it was hard not to find out who he was talking to even if you didn't pay special attention.
Probably no one likes to talk about private matters all the time, and it would seem that one's stance is questionable if one openly contacts one's "family". Lu Jiamu saw through it but didn't say anything.
At first, the old man came to play with them every day, until one day he mysteriously said that someone had arranged a high-paying new job for him, and then he never showed up again. It is estimated that the base dealt with him after coming to its senses.
The little boy was raised with them at first, but because he always showed envy to children of the same age who went to school, he was later taken to school with Coleman's tacit consent.
Although it would be difficult to get enrolled in a short period of time even with connections, at least he went from playing outside to playing in his favorite school.
Everything is thriving. Under the coordinated arrangement of different violent agencies in this world, normal and abnormal are mostly clearly divided. As long as you stay at home honestly every day, you will not only not see but also not hear too much strange news.
If you don't join the mysterious base every day, it will be difficult to find the right place even if you want to adventure.
It seems that life now is on the right track, returning to the world they originally knew.
Coleman's work at school was gradually resuming, and the classes that were originally assigned to substitute teachers began to be reallocated again.
When Coleman received the reassigned class schedule, she looked at it for a while before she vaguely realized that several of her math classes were actually occupied by the physical education teacher.
Coleman thought that it was because it was difficult to change back the schedule after she was asked to leave, so she didn't take it too seriously.
After all, teaching here is not her main job. There is no one on their side who can be worry-free. Naturally, she does not have so much extra time and energy to teach little kids and pay too much attention to the class schedule that she has never even glanced at.
But in the afternoon, when she used her free time to patrol the campus again, she saw a group of primary school students practicing in teams. When she asked, she found out that according to the teaching plan, the school would hold a sports meeting next week.
The physical education teacher took up her math class for rehearsal.
The other teachers assumed that she knew about the teaching plan. After all, that was how the school arranged it every semester, so no one specifically talked to her about it.
