Fortunately, the man reached out and gave him a hand.
Ma Mengxiang unexpectedly met a pair of familiar eyes hidden under the mask.
She opened her mouth and was stunned for a few seconds: "You..."
Shadow asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ma Mengxiang stood up and looked back at another shadow wearing exactly the same clothes, and was stunned for a long time.
Even the masks on their faces didn't look any different.
Except for the slightly different eyes, they are exactly the same person.
Ma Mengxiang was instantly enveloped in embarrassment, her face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time, "I... I... I, I... I was just passing by!"
After saying that, she pushed the shadow away and disappeared in an instant.
Another figure came over, "What's going on?"
Shadow subconsciously touched the mask: "..."
"I came over to report the progress to Brother Duan, and she suddenly stopped me and said something I didn't like."
Ying thought for a long time and patted his shoulder: "You will understand later."
"Oh, then I'll report."
"Let's go."
Ying stood there alone, looking at the direction where Ma Mengxiang left. After a long while, he muttered to himself dully: "When you said you would never love me again, I meant, did you love me before?"
…
Pei Xiqing was listening in the conference room upstairs.
The person in charge of the base is replaying the message that was delivered.
"The instructions, the code, and the inter-base communication codes all match. I can be 90% certain that the sender of the message is a professional within the base who understands the use of codes."
"That means there's still a lot that's uncertain," Duan Xiaolin asked.
"……Yes."
"Do you want to gamble or do you want to be absolutely sure?"
"We...we certainly want to be absolutely sure, but time waits for no one. Headquarters sent us a 3D blueprint of the base, along with a video of the reconstruction and its exact location. We've just investigated, and most of them match up. So we're considering sending a team to scout the area first. We'll see what the situation is like, and then we'll decide how to proceed with this matter."
Duan Xiaolin: "Okay."
"Then let's make the arrangements."
Pei Xiqing sat next to the man and suddenly asked, "Can you contact the people at headquarters again?"
"Of course, but I'm not sure if they'll accept it. The signal is very unstable in a natural disaster. We waited for nearly three months before we received the search signal, which allowed us to briefly contact headquarters."
Pei Xiqing said: "Then try to request a connection again."
"good."
Everyone gathered around.
Staring at the display screen in front of him.
The code on the screen kept scrolling rapidly, and soon began to try to spread the signal around.
Time passed little by little, and sweat broke out on the forehead of the person in charge of communication.
Still no news.
The wait was two hours.
Pei Xiqing couldn't stand. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and her waist was also hurting.
Duan Xiaolin asked her to sit inside so that she could see the changes on the screen more clearly.
The correspondent wiped his sweat, feeling extremely stressed.
"Wait a moment." Pei Xiqing suddenly called out, stopping the person and saying, "The signal is coming."
"..." The man paused for two seconds before reacting, "Yes! The signal is coming! Quick! Apply for connection!"
After a few minutes, the signal connection was restored.
A voice came from the other end: "This is the T-10 signal tower of our newly built base. We are searching for survivors of the apocalypse. Please reply if you get it. Please reply if you get it."
"Received. This is the Sixth Base Survivor Base."
"Sixth Base? I've contacted you a while ago. Do you have any questions?"
Pei Xiqing took the headset and asked, "Who is in charge of headquarters now?"
"Marshal Fu Yan is in charge personally."
"Help me pick up Franlon."
"OK."
After a few seconds, a calm male voice came through: "What do you need to report to Franlun?"
Pei Xiqing: "Are you the Franlonian officer stationed at the headquarters?"
"Yes, I am supervising here under the orders of Chief Judge Duan."
"Find me a map of our headquarters. We also need military forces, equipment, and air support. We are numerous, so we need at least a few aircraft."
"Okay, I'll arrange it as requested. Do you have any questions?"
"there is none left."
"We will continue to search for other survivors and hope you return soon."
Communication is completely over.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
"Great! Finally! We can finally get to headquarters and reunite with the people there! The conditions there must be better. We can finally get out of underground. Maybe with headquarters here, it won't be long before we can see the sun in the sky again!"
"Yes! That's right! Quick! Tell everyone to pack up quickly and be ready for headquarters to send a few planes to pick us up!"
"Quickly notify Xia Dong!"
"etc."
Pei Xiqing took off her headphones.
There was no joy on his face, but rather a solemn expression.
Everyone looked at her, a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
"They're all fake," she said. "The so-called newly established base at the headquarters is probably just a lie."
She said it with absolute certainty, without any hesitation.
"Why...why do you say that? Miss Pei, did you hear it wrong? We all heard your conversation just now. The other party could answer most of the questions you asked. We didn't have any problem listening to it, right?"
“The biggest problem is having no problem.”
"What do you mean?"
Pei Xiqing spoke up, "First of all, although Fu Yan is the Marshal, he has been searching for his missing daughter. He would never sit and wait for death in the new base for so long. There is no reason for the Marshal to command it personally. He is not capable of doing so. Secondly, there are no personnel stationed at the headquarters in Franklun."
She said firmly, "Not one."
The steady man beside him slowly opened his lips and said, "Yes, no one from Farran is at headquarters."
Pei Xiqing looked at him.
Not surprisingly, I saw a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"You...how do you know this?"
"Brother Duan is the presiding judge of Franlun." Pei Xiqing said directly, "He knows the arrangements of Franlun best."
The man nodded: "Yes."
"What!"
"Oh My God!"
"I see! I'm shocked! We were almost tricked... But we're all survivors, and it's not easy in the apocalypse. Why would you lie to us? What good would it do to trick us into survival?"
"If we are truly human, perhaps this won't be helpful." Pei Xiqing had a guess, "But what if we and the people we're communicating with aren't human?"
She raised her head and looked at everyone.
The hidden meaning behind the words is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
