Hosting Facility Census Office:
Last night, Jueming spent the night in Bai Xiaodong's dormitory. Bai Xiaodong held him with one arm, and the older and younger lay side by side on the bed. Bai Xiaodong described the current situation in detail.
Cassia seemed to be listening to a story. He was full of doubts, but he had to believe, the sixth district, the submarine shelter... He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, without sleep all night.
Woke up early in the morning and the whistle sounded, Bai Xiaodong hurried to training, Jue Ming got up immediately, and hurried to the census office of the shelter.
Zhang Min waited on the opposite side of the road for a whole night, until Jue Ming came, and when Jue Ming waited outside the office to open the door, Zhang Min stood far away, not speaking.
A woman came over to swipe her card and took a look at him.
"Looking for someone?" the female director said.
Cassia nodded, and the female director said, "Come in."
"There are many people named Dai Zhanpeng across the country..." The female director said, "Let me see, family matching keywords... What's your name?"
"Dai Xing." Jue Ming said.
Numerous contents popped up on the computer, and several pieces of information were enlarged and displayed.
The female director murmured: "Dai Xing... your father is the person the Seventh District is looking for... from the Chinese Academy of Aeronautical Engineering."
Caesar said: "Yes, he is an engineer, and my mother is a professor of oceanography."
The female director said: "You are going to join the Tsinghua Youth Class training at the age of 12, isn't it?"
Jueming said, "Yes."
The female director said: "No wonder they couldn't find you. At first they thought it was an international kidnapping case. Your father had a lot of confidential information on hand... He didn't say anything about it at the time. How did you find this place?"
Jue Ming said, "Can we talk about this later? Where are my parents?"
Female director: "They have already sacrificed."
Cassia nodded blankly and sat blankly.
The female director said: "It's very tricky. The juvenile class has been cancelled. I have to ask the Seventh District for instructions. You are an orphan of a scientist. You should report to the Academy of Aeronautical Engineering, but you are already an adult... and you don't have a student status. This is really troublesome."
"Is there any water to drink?" Caesar asked.
Seeing the appearance of Cassia Ming, the female director felt very sad.
She handed Jue Ming a cup and motioned him to fetch water, Jue Ming took the cup of water and said in a daze, "I'll go for a walk."
The hostess sighed, and Jue Ming stood by the side of the road, staring at the cup in a daze.
He took a step, and the tram was crossing the road, and Jue Ming bumped into it in a daze, Zhang Min immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
He rushed out from the side, took Cassia by the hand, was splashed all over by the water, and half-carried him to the corner.
Jueming burst into tears, and Zhang Min hurriedly said, "Did you touch it? Let me see? Don't cry, don't cry... When you cry... my heart will break..."
Half an hour later, Cassia fell asleep on the sofa in the office.
Zhang Min sat on the reception chair and said, "So... his parents died?"
The female director said: "It's a pity, it's true."
Zhang Min said, "Who should I find?"
The female director said: "Now the Academy of Engineering has been reorganized. They probably don't know Dr. Dai, most of them are young people, so it's difficult to deal with. Besides, Dai Xing is strictly speaking an adult, and the military does not accept Dr. Dai over the age of 16." Tuogu."
Zhang Min: "Does his parents have no colleagues? Classmates, disciples..."
The female director checked the information and murmured: "They all sacrificed... There are too many people who died this time, let me see. Yes. There is a doctor named Wei in the central workshop..."
Zhang Min: "Wei what?"
Female director: "How do I know why? The computer said so."
Zhang Min: "I mean what's the name!"
The female director said her name, and Zhang Min said, "Is he an old classmate of Dai Zhanpeng?"
The female director said: "They are from the first class, maybe they know each other."
Having said this, it was like saying nothing, Zhang Min leaned on the chair in a daze for a long while, and then said: "I'm going to join the army soon, I don't know if I can come back alive, I need to find someone to take care of him, otherwise I won't be able to leave safely."
The female director nodded understandingly, and said, "I will give you the privilege of entering and exiting the workshop on the 18th floor. You can take Dai Xing to have a look."
Cassia woke up, beside the sofa, Zhang Min looked at him with red eyes.
As soon as the eyes of the two met, Zhang Min immediately looked away unnaturally and said, "It's all right."
Jue Ming nodded, and Zhang Min said: "I got it, let's go to the workshop to see, there is your father's old classmate."
Caesar got up exhausted, and followed behind Zhang Min. Zhang Min looked like a soldier ruffian, slovenly, with messy hair, walking with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Were you taking care of me before?" Caesar asked.
Zhang Min nodded silently, they were standing at the elevator door, Zhang Min raised his hand subconsciously, trying to touch Cassia's shoulder, but he didn't dare to reach out, finally rubbed his hands together, and put his hand into his trouser pocket restrainedly.
Zhang Min pressed the button, looked up at the numbers on the elevator, and said, "We have lived together for four years, so it doesn't mean that I am taking care of you... it should be said that we are taking care of each other."
"What was I like before?" Jue Ming asked again.
"You..." Zhang Min pondered for a moment, and then said: "Like a child, naive and immature."
"I think I have a little bit now." Cassia Ming said dumbly.
Zhang Min sighed, smiled, and said, "Dai Xing, you are much better than before."
Cassia: "What's your name?"
"Zhang Min." Zhang Min said: "I came from the countryside, and I'm not very good at controlling many things. I scared you yesterday. I... I'm sorry."
Jue Ming said: "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart, you have to control your emotions."
"Yes." Zhang Min entered the elevator, staring at the elevator door in a daze: "I occasionally lose control, it's not good..."
Electronic female voice: "Eighteenth floor, the military research and development workshop of the United Front Work Department."
People were coming and going in the center of the workshop hall, and the messy workbench was full of parts and blueprints. Zhang Min asked someone to ask Dr. Wei's office, and he walked through the workshop with Cassia Ming, and a voice sounded next to him:
"Cassy? Why are you here?" Liu Yan asked.
"Liu Yan, you called me by the wrong name again." Jue Ming said.
Liu Yan laughed and said, "The name has nothing to do with it, it's just a symbol."
Zhang Min said, "I came to find Dr. Wei."
Liu Yan pointed to the west side and said, "Dr. Wei hasn't come to work yet, you can wait outside his private studio. Dai Xing, you..."
Caesar watched Liu Yan for a while, Zhang Min went to sit outside Dr. Wei's workshop, and Cassia came and sat on the high chair beside the workbench.
Liu Yan originally wanted to ask about Jueming's search for his parents today, but when he saw that Jueming's expression was not right, he guessed it—both parents must have died.
But what did Zhang Min bring Cassia to the workshop? If Zhang Min has something to do with himself, Jue Ming will not be let go. This matter must have something to do with Jue Ming's parents...
"Your father also works in machinery? Are you friends with Dr. Wei?" Liu Yan guessed in a short while why Zhang Min was looking for Dr. Wei.
Jue Ming said: "Yes, you are really smart."
Liu Yan smiled, and Jue Ming said, "Is this the propeller blueprint?"
Liu Yan was moved for a moment, and asked, "Do you understand?"
Jueming looked at it for a moment, then replied: "I understand, my father has this in his workshop."
Liu Yan: "Do you know about small nitrogen thrusters?"
Caesar looked sideways, and Liu Yan said, "I'm testing a part, and I need a positioning transmitter."
Caesar said: "Let me help you, show me the data. I used to help my dad measure the data."
Liu Yan pulled the movable bracket of the monitor, Cassia looked at it for a while, touched the screen to create a new form, and Liu Yan began to scan the drawings.
Liu Yan: "You were only eleven years old at that time, so there are so many? This is a formula only taught in universities."
Cassia: "I like mathematics very much... I want to go to the junior class, but the director said that the junior class is gone."
Liu Yan: "..."
Jueming didn't say the whereabouts of his parents, and Liu Yan didn't ask. After a while, Dr. Wei shouted from a distance with a loudspeaker: "Liu Yan! Did you hire a little assistant? It looks good!"
Liu Yan smiled and greeted him, Zhang Min immediately got up and followed Dr. Wei into the office.
Cassia: "Why are you here? Is this your job?"
Liu Yan: "Not all. I'm a technician for the Hurricane team. I'm helping them adjust their equipment. I was on vacation because there is no news from the seventh district... I have nothing to do, so I will report back to the workshop."
Cassia: "It's a combination of work and rest. Don't work so hard and smoke less."
Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "When you are in a bad mood, you are crazy and busy. Working hard can make you temporarily forget many things."
Cassia: "But once you are free, those things are still there."
Liu Yan: "At least it's better than thinking about it all day, isn't it, go back to sleep when you're too busy to keep your eyes open."
Cassia: "Yes."
The two exchanged data, Liu Yan began to revise the drawings, and Caesar put on infrared analysis glasses, pulled another template bracket, and began to scan and calculate.
Both of them have the ability to focus on two things, Liu Yan couldn't help looking at Cassia Ming, and sighed that he was a genius. For a moment, there was a sense of sympathy.
Liu Yan compared the data and annotated the drawings, and said casually, "Are you familiar with Zhang Min?"
Jue Ming said: "No... he still seems to be not quite right, but it's better than yesterday."
"Oh." Liu Yan said: "Zhang Min loved you very much before, he must be very sad now."
Jueming said, "What kind of love?"
Liu Yan: "Treat you as a child, as his only relative... When I have time, I will tell you about your past. We fled from the chemical factory together, went to Yongwang Town, and came to the high seas..."
Jue Ming: "I'm free now. Tell me, Liu Yan, you are a genius. You know more than my dad. Ah, these designs of yours are simply whimsical... art."
Liu Yan smiled modestly: "Your father specializes in aerospace, I just learn more miscellaneously, and if I specialize more, I won't be able to get in."
Liu Yan recounted his memories of knowing Caesar and Zhang Min so far. Cassia scanned the model carefully, modified the sample data, and listened casually. Liu Yan didn't even look at him, knowing that he had listened to everything.
"I still... ran to save him?" Jue Ming was a bit incredulous.
"Yes." Liu Yan said with a smile, "You drove out with an AK in your arms, we all thought you would never come back."
Cassia: "Was I scared when I left? What did you say?"
Liu Yan thought for a while, and said: "No, um, you seemed to say 'goodbye, Liu Yan, you haven't blessed me yet', then I wish you good luck, and you left."
Jue Ming nodded thoughtfully, and Liu Yan said again: "I heard from Zhang Min later that you did a good job..."
Gradually, Jue Ming stopped his movements, took off his infrared scanning glasses, and sat in a trance.
"So he loves you very much." Liu Yan said.
Caesar remained silent, and then suddenly said: "Earth strings... It turns out that there was another person living in my body before."
Liu Yan nodded, and Jue Ming said again: "So the change in the Earth's magnetic field is because it plans to clean it again?"
Liu Yan was lying on the table, he was really defeated, the focus of the conversation was not here at all. Jue Ming murmured again: "Because the virus cannot be controlled, the earth began to change its magnetic field... planning to cause a tsunami, an ice age, and destroy most of the infected species?"
Liu Yan said: "Perhaps, you don't understand what I mean at all."
Jue Ming said: "I understand, but I was thinking about another thing, why didn't Earthstring do this anymore?"
Liu Yan: "Maybe it got some news... How do I know? It's a very old-fashioned idea. Through some memory fragments of you from the past, I know the emotional model of human beings, and I was moved by the true feelings of you and Brother Min. This is Love... Hold on! Hold on! Don't look like that! I don't owe you any money... Anyway, it sank into the center of the earth that day, and it is said that the magnetic field has returned to normal."
Cassia Ming had an indescribably strange expression, and Dr. Wei and Zhang Min walked out.
Liu Yan and Cassia got up to say hello. As Zhang Min wished, Dr. Wei decided to recruit Cassia into the central workshop.
Dr. Wei issued a certificate, and every morning Jueming went to school to take half-day college courses, and returned to the central workshop in the afternoon to work as an assistant, and allocated a separate room for him.
Zhang Min finally solved the most troublesome thing, and said, "I will ask you...to take care of him from now on."
Dr. Wei smiled and said: "Young man can take care of himself, everyone has come here like this, right, Xiao Xing? Learn from your elder brother Liu Yan."
Jueming hummed, and then said: "Where are you going, Zhang Min?"
Zhang Min said: "Join the army, I have to go back to training."
Cassia: "Come on, goodbye."
Zhang Min turned around and took a few steps, watching Cassia from the distance of the workshop, people coming and going, the noisy hall seemed very far away from him, there were only two of them in the world.
"Farewell, my Zhang Jueming." Zhang Min said.
Zhang Min left the central workshop, Liu Yan handed in the blueprint, caught up with him, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten up by the instructor after you have been idle for a long time? Let me accompany you to talk about it."
Zhang Min nodded silently, Liu Yan sent him to K3, Zheng Feihu patrolled over and shouted: "Zhang Min! Where are you going!"
Liu Yan-zheng said separately that Zhang Min indicated not to use it, stood ready to be beaten, but Zheng Feihu unexpectedly did not take action. Off-line: "Hurry up and return to the team, continue training, and release your son and daughter. Finally the battle will begin."
August 6, 2013.
On the first anniversary of the Oakes virus outbreak, Meng Jianguo gave a speech on TV in formal attire.
In the undersea refuge, all lighting equipment was turned off, and the alarm on the minaret of the seventh district sounded continuously, mourning the tens of thousands of compatriots who died in this year.
Three minutes later, when the lights came on again, Meng Jianguo finished his condolences, and Dr. Qin Hai made his first TV appearance and was interviewed.
He brought good news that the Seventh District has developed a new vaccine antibody, which will be injected one by one from August 13.
This new type of antibody will completely cover the effects of the three vaccines that were originally injected in the body, swallow all sources of virus-like infection, and completely assimilate them.
All the special operations teams in K3 were the first to receive the injection. From then on, the survivors on the high seas no longer had to worry about being infected by the Oakes virus.
However, our homeland is still in dire straits.
The land map has changed, and the distribution range of the zombies has changed. All the zombies began to move towards the coast. They gathered in the southeast area, forming a huge collection, far away from where the high seas are located.
According to Zheng Feihu, the Seventh District has developed a new type of bacteria based on the vaccine plan left by Kaitlyn to rot the human body. After this type of bacteria is combined with antibodies, it is put into the zombie group and can make all the zombies rot quickly. .
However, some technical difficulties still need to be overcome, because the infectivity of bacteria is not fast, and it is difficult to guarantee that the zombies will not collapse during the delivery process.
More doubts emerged. Why did the zombies gather towards the sea? Are they planning to cross the sea
Meng Feng is already among the zombies, what kind of position does he take
The prophet said that the ultimate body of Oaks is the evolutionary end of the virus string, and the virus on Meng Feng is already the ultimate body? Or is it an incomplete body that is still one step away from the ultimate body
If Meng Feng became the leader of all the zombies, what would he plan to do
I asked Meng Jianguo, but he didn't answer.
"Gather all the zombies together." Lai Jie said, "What do you think he wants to do?"
Liu Yan closed the diary, and Lai Jie immediately closed his eyes.
"Speak seriously." Liu Yan said: "I don't take out flash bombs."
Raijie said: "He told us to nuke him and all the zombies."
Liu Yan: "How do you know?"
Raijie: "I guess, if I were him, I would do it."
Liu Yan didn't answer, Lai Jie patted his head and said, "Sleep well, there is always a way."
Turn off the lights on floor k3, Lai Jie opened the door and left, saying: "Oh, by the way, Liu Yan, let me tell you something."
"What?" Liu Yan lay down on the bed.
Lai Jie said: "The dawn battle is about to begin, and the organization has changed a mechanic for the Hurricane team ahead of schedule."
Liu Yan immediately got up and said, "What's going on? Whose idea?"
Raj said: "I don't know, the Hurricanes have other tasks to perform, I guess maybe..."
Liu Yan: "Lai Jie, this has something to do with you."
Lai Jie flatly denied, "No."
Liu Yan: "I've known you for so long, if this matter had nothing to do with you, you wouldn't have chosen such a time, such a place, and with such a tone, to tell me as if nothing had happened."
Raj was silent.
Liu Yan said: "Assuming you are clear about it and helped me fight for it, you will notify me as soon as possible. You just tell me and run away. It is obvious that you know the inside story and accepted the arrangement."
Lai Jie had no choice but to turn around and go back to the room, sitting on the coffee table in front of the bed, with his legs spread out, with a look of indifference, and said: "To be honest, you are not suitable to be the mechanic this time. Affect your final decision, and the mission of the Hurricane Team is not to rescue Meng Feng."
"Are they going to give up on him?" Liu Yan asked coldly.
Lai Jie said: "I don't know about this, so don't make random definitions."
"They divided all the teams into areas, from a to z, and today we got the distribution map of the zombie group. It's like a huge zombie kingdom. The zombie leader still doesn't know if it's Meng Feng."
"This leader is in the center of the entire zombie kingdom. The task of the Hurricane Team is to kill the zombie leaders in Area U. Each special force has to face 500,000 zombies. After sniping the leader of their nodes, the whole body dies." Otherwise, when the bacteria are spreading, I am afraid they will have a purpose and migrate to other areas in a planned way.”
Liu Yan pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Snipe and kill the zombie leader, and all the zombie leaders, so that the entire zombie group collapses, loses its organization, and then starts to spread that corrupted bacteria?"
Lai Jie said: "Yes, the dawn plan starts at 6 o'clock in the evening and ends at 6 o'clock in the morning, a total of twelve hours, and finally uses nuclear bombs to destroy all traces. This kind of microorganism has no effect on humans and living things, but the Seventh District I think it's best to keep it under control before anything goes wrong."
Liu Yan said: "I'll go with you, at most I won't go to Meng Feng."
Lai Jie said: "Liu Yan, I know what you're thinking. You want to buy time after the task is completed and go to the center of the group alone, don't you? Zombie leaders are very difficult to deal with. Even if there is a vaccine, the strength of the Hurricane Team is completely impossible. deal with."
Liu Yan was silent.
Lai Jie said again: "Liu Yan, I guarantee with my life that I will not come back immediately after the mission is over, and I will definitely help you bring Meng Feng back."
"No." Liu Yan said: "Lai Jie, don't do this. I can't afford it..."
Lai Jie said: "No, no, Liu Yan, listen to me."
Liu Yan said: "Let me find my own way, Lai Jie, you have done enough for me." "
Lai Jie smiled and said, "No, Liu Yan, listen to me, I really don't love you."
Liu Yan: "..."
Lai Jie raised his fingerless gloved hand, shook it in front of Liu Yan, and smiled softly: "Did you always think that I love you?"
Liu Yan looked at Lai Jie, the darkness of the lights went away, their eyes gradually adapted to each other in the night, Lai Jie's eyes were sad, and he whispered: "In my heart, there is a place reserved for the young and old. .”
Liu Yan's eyes were clear and deep.
Like a bard telling an elegant and romantic story, or like a mysterious narrator on a dark stage, Rai Jie whispered:
"I just think that when you came to the Hurricane team, the vigorous vitality of the young and old came back, and everyone was together again. We are a small family, relying on each other, trusting each other, having a logistics mechanic, and a leader. There are teammates. No matter who is gone, they will not cry, but bid farewell happily. This family will always be complete."
"So brother, I just want you to be happy. We soldiers stay together more often, and no one knows whether we will be alive or dead at the next moment. In the blink of an eye, the former teammates left. At least when we get together, don't be old and Meng. Feng raises the bar..." Lai Jie said seriously and naturally: "Brother has always lived with the young and old in his heart. But I like you very much. This is my responsibility as the leader. You have to be stronger and more mature. You are not what you used to be. I am a student who knows what to do. All of us are a whole and trust each other. What is the difference between someone else rescued Meng Feng and you rescued him, right? You have to stick to your post. "
Liu Yan was silent.
"Wish me well." Lai Jie said: "I don't do this for anyone, just to make this family complete. After the task is over, I will go to the central area, join the main team, assist them, and bring Meng Feng back to life." When you come back, you should be assigned other missions at that time, it is said that you will stay on the high seas, cooperate with the dispatch of the seventh district, and wait for the last link of the dawn plan to start."
Liu Yan said: "Change your promise, if you can't save Meng Feng, you must come back alive."
"Okay." Knowing that Liu Yan had figured it out, Lai Jie touched Liu Yan's head and said, "Let's go, good night."
