Twilight sky.
After the war, the base remained awake all night. When Chi Xin walked out of the administrative building, he saw that there were still soldiers coming and going between the city wall and the road. On the stretcher were the wounded who could not see their faces.
They were swift and quiet, and seemed quite accustomed to this kind of action.
A soldier saw Chi Xin standing alone on the side of the street, and kindly said, "You girl, it's still curfew time, you'd better go home quickly, don't let Major General Xiao find out..."
When he saw Chi Xin's face coming back, he was stunned on the spot.
Chi Xin was stunned for a while when he saw him, and then a happy expression appeared on his face: "It's you!"
This little soldier was actually rescued by her on the city wall, and then went to get the shells and never came.
She thought that the other party might be buried in the corpse tide, but she didn't expect to see him here.
As if he didn't see the embarrassment on the little soldier's face, Chi Xin smiled and said, "It's great that you're fine. I don't even dare to look at those corpses covered in white cloth. I always feel that I harmed you."
"No..." The little soldier's face was hot, but luckily the sky hadn't fully lit up yet, plus he was sunburnt and rough, fortunately Chi Xin shouldn't be able to see it, "Yes, I didn't follow the agreement. Come…”
"Don't worry about it." Chi Xin said naturally, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. It is difficult to tell what will happen in the next second. I will only feel lucky to see you safe and sound. Don't worry about it."
Her clear and gentle voice was like a clear spring, and the little soldier felt that the dryness in his throat had eased a little.
His expression relaxed a little, but he still said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I was hit by a stream/bomb, and I fainted directly. The time when I was woken up is over."
"So it is." Chi Xin still smiled.
She felt that the little warrior was indeed lucky.
Seeing that she really didn't care, the little warrior gradually let go, he said, "After I woke up, I heard that a female warrior caught the zombie king and saved everyone, but unfortunately I fainted. No, I didn't see the heroic appearance of the female warrior."
Chi Xin still smiled and said nothing.
There was a strong yearning on the face of the little soldier: "Everyone said that there is salvation in the end of the world. As long as the zombie king is solved, and Professor Jing and the others develop a vaccine, the world will definitely return to normal... Is that okay?"
He looked at Chi Xin nervously. For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Chi Xin had a convincing and following temperament, which made him feel more at ease than seeing the major general, and subconsciously wanted to seek her approval.
"Yes." Chi Xin said warmly, "If you solve the 'zombie king' and develop a vaccine, the end of the world will be over. In fact, it's not that scary or complicated."
The little soldier smiled a little, then said worriedly: "Girl, you should go first, you are not from the army, in case Major General Xiao sees it..."
"What happens when I see you?"
Hearing this all-familiar voice, the little soldier was stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly when he saw the person walking behind Chi Xin.
Chi Xin didn't look surprised at all. When someone stood beside her, she looked sideways: "I didn't expect there to be a curfew here. Did you bring it in from the army?"
Before Xiao Li could speak, the little soldier shivered suddenly, then put his heels together, and gave a military salute, "Major General Xiao!"
His uneasy eyes kept glancing at Chi Xin, and there was an expression of generosity on his face.
Seeing the pool core is happy.
Xiao Li looked at the little warrior, obviously the age gap is not big, but the temperament is very different.
"What's your name?" Xiao Li asked.
"Major General, my name is Leda." The little soldier quickly retracted his eyes, "Happy Le, open-minded."
"Good name." Xiao Li nodded, "Go ahead and do what you need to do."
"Yes, Major General." Leda replied, but he didn't leave immediately, but glanced at Chi Xin nervously, gritted his teeth and said, "Major General, this girl saved my life on the city wall, she is You just came to the base and don't know your rules yet, please don't punish her."
Let Xiao Liduo glance at him.
"This girl not only saved your life, she saved everyone's life in the entire base." Xiao Li said, "She will save the life of the whole world in the future, so you don't have to worry."
"What..." Leda widened her eyes.
He suddenly realized something, turned his head and stared at Chi Xin, as if to stare her out of a hole.
"It's so full of words, it's not because I don't want to do it." Chi Xin said with a smile.
"The radio has already been sent. I'm afraid it's a little late to regret it." Xiao Li smiled, seeing that Leda was still staring at Chi Xin, and simply waved to him, "Leda, since you have Fortunately, I will introduce you in advance."
He gestured to the core.
" is the top leader of base a in the future, Miss Chi."
The guess was confirmed, Leda shivered, and his voice resounded through the street: "The fifth detachment of the Third Army of the a base, Leda, I have seen Miss Chi!"
The little soldier's voice was loud and amazing, and all the busy people around stopped suddenly. They caught a glimpse of the truth from the words, and they all came to Chi Xin with eager eyes.
Chi Xin's face was calm, but he really wanted to reach out and cover his face.
"You are too exaggerated." She gritted her teeth and whispered to Xiao Li, then waved her hand for everyone, feeling that her actions seemed familiar.
Then she thought about it, in her previous life, watching TV and leading a trip seemed to be like this.
"I originally planned to announce some news to everyone tomorrow, but telling them in advance is not a fake." Xiao Li shrugged and let the others continue to work, then turned to look at Chi Xin, "Where are you going to live? Is it the place?"
Chi Xin shook his head: "I'm not sleepy, just take a walk."
Xiao Li nodded, just followed her, walking on the street filled with morning mist.
Anyway, no matter where Chi Xin wanted to live, it was a matter of words for him, and it was never too late for her to decide.
He looked at Chi Xin's profile as he walked aside, and his expression was a little dazed.
Just like the dream many times at midnight finally came true, she moved from the dream to reality.
He worked hard again and again, and tried hard again and again, just to stand upright in front of her today and provide her with everything she needed.
he made it.
"Xiao Li." Chi Xin called out.
For a moment, Xiao Li forgot the time and place. Just like when he was a soldier in Base L, he stood at attention and replied, "Yes!"
"I asked you a question just now, but you haven't answered me yet." Chi Xin said.
"Ah, yes." Xiao Li reacted, "The curfew order is to ensure the safety of more people. After all, the dangers in the base are sometimes not limited to zombies."
"It's hard work to manage a base." Chi Xin said, "It's amazing that you can stand in this position in a short period of time."
Xiao Li blushed.
He pinched his thigh hard, lamented the psychological preparation he had done before, and told himself that he must not blush in front of Chi Xin again. He didn't expect that even if he could face the Zombie King, he would stand in front of Chi Xin again. When the core is in front of him, the heart and the face are still the same as not giving him hope.
"No." Xiao Li said, "Because I have a goal in my heart, I don't feel hard when I struggle."
Now only he and Chi Xin are alone together, and the happiness of realizing his dream has brought him back to his true nature. Although after two years of life and death struggles, his stature and appearance have become more than a little mature, and now he softens his voice to talk to Chi Xin, and then speaks again. There is a vague feeling of... milk at the beginning.
It also evoked some distant memories of the pool core, and the expression became softer.
"By the way, I still want to ask you." Chi Xin remembered, "What happened to that Lian Tianrui, such a person, can you be attracted to him?"
Xiao Li's face showed a bit of embarrassment: "He... His affairs are a bit complicated. He has made great contributions to the officer who promoted me. The officer told me to take care of him before he died. For some small things, I can only ignore them. "
"Oh, is it a trivial matter for the survivors to stop outside and shoot to kill without knowing whether they are infected?"
If Chi Xin looked back at that time, he would find that Xiao Li's expression was very helpless, and he even looked like he was about to cry.
"After you left in the morning, I ordered him to be dismissed from the military by military regulations, and he has become the most basic branch of the army." Xiao Li said softly, "I'm afraid he won't last long with the way he has been pampered for years."
What kind of insistence means, Chixin will no longer ask.
The two of them didn't have any destination. They just walked and talked all the way. Xiao Li introduced to her which building did what. Chi Xin found that the scale of the building was not only much larger than that of the base, but the structure was also clearer.
In such a large environment, it is still very remarkable that a base can have schools, hospitals, and restaurants.
It can also be seen how much effort the Yu family and son have paid for this base.
"Thanks to the Yu family." Xiao Li said, "I only started to gain appreciation after I came back from Base L. From City A to Base A, the Yu family paid too much for this piece of land. By the way, How is the base now, do you have any news about it later?"
Chi Xin was silent for a few seconds, telling the truth: "It's gone."
"No?" Xiao Li was startled.
Let Chi Xin think of the disgusting predecessor of the Fengpushan Base, and was reluctant to say more.
The two walked for a while, and when the sky was completely bright, school children began to appear on the street.
It can be seen that the children are well protected. Even in this environment, they have pure expressions on their faces. When passing by, they can be heard asking each other whether their homework has been completed.
This kind of plain life is the most difficult happiness in this apocalypse, but the a base has achieved it.
Chi Xin looked at the children's backs and fell into a brief contemplation.
Xiao Li didn't rush her, just waited.
Until the pool core retracted , looked at the bright sky: "Let's go back."
"Okay." Xiao Li said.
"The other bases." Walking on the road, Chi Xin suddenly said, "I'm not sure how many of them will come, and I don't know how many people will choose to join us in the end."
Xiao Li looked at her.
"But no matter how many they are, I will never abandon them." Chi Xin's eyes showed a firm light, just as when she arrived at the beginning of the year and kicked the head of a high-level zombie, she turned her head to look at him. That way, "I'll be with it until the end."
When the two arrived at the building, Chi Xin wanted to see if Jing Xiubai and the others were still there, but as soon as the elevator door opened, he heard Yu Xiang's frantic voice.
"You have the kind of standing there and don't move, we will fight three hundred reconciliations!"
"Ding-" The elevator door opened.
A young man in a casual suit stepped inside while still shaking his head, and said in a frivolous tone: "Come on Yu Xiang, your brother and your father gave me three points, why are you still clamoring here..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and met Chi Xin's eyes.
The young man was stunned for a moment. His first move was to rely on the faint reflection on the elevator door to check his hairstyle and collar.
Then he actually automatically blocked Xiao Li next to him, revealing what he thought was a decent and handsome face, and his voice was magnetic and soft: "Dare to ask where this young lady is from? I have never seen you in the base." Such beautiful flowers."
Yu Xiang's scolding was kept behind the door, it sounded like a hoot, there was a little dispute inside the door, it seemed that Yu Xiang wanted to rush out, but was forcibly restrained.
"Ding Hongkai, do you know who you are talking to?" Xiao Li asked lightly.
The young man known as Ding Hongkai gave him a flirtatious look, and sneered: "No matter who I talk to, it's not your Xiao Li's turn to take care of you. I advise you, soldiers should be good at wielding knives and guns. Don't stretch your arms too long."
Oh wow.
For the first time in this base, Chi Xin saw someone who dared to talk to Xiao Li, and he couldn't help but look at the young man carefully.
It's true that people look like dogs. If he can dress at this time, he is either rich or expensive. I'm afraid it's either his greatness or his father's greatness.
But judging from the way he looks, it is 80% that his father is very good.
Ding Hongkai didn't know what was going on in Chi Xin's heart. Seeing Chi Xin looking at him, he immediately put on a bright face: "Do you know who I am? I am the only son of General Ding Zhao."
He waited for a few seconds, saw that Chi Xin had no response, and then continued: "It's not interesting to come here, it's full of politics, the stench of home, you can go out with me, I'll show you what my father has laid. of the country.”
"General Ding Zhao?" Chi Xin looked at Xiao Li.
"It was the former General of Country C. After the apocalypse broke out, he died on the battlefield fighting zombies." Xiao Li said softly.
"What are you asking him about? I'll tell you how much you want to know about my father." Ding Hongkai reached out and was about to pull the core.
However, the hand he stretched out was held down by Xiao Li, and he tried to struggle for a while, but Xiao Li's hand was like iron pliers, making him unable to move at all.
"Xiao Li, are you crazy? Dare to go against me?" Ding Hongkai glared at him, "If it wasn't for my father's recommendation, you wouldn't know which mud pit you were rolling in now, it's your gratitude. ?"
"My reward to General Ding is to testify with the blood I spilled instead of letting you fool around here." Xiao Li's hardened voice successfully covered the smell of milk, he threw Ding Hongkai away, "Wipe it clean. Look at your eyes, it's the pool core! You should know the document to be sent today, right?"
"Chi Xin? The lady's name is quite unique... What, Chi Xin?!"
Ding Hongkai suddenly realized that he seemed to see a name on the document he just threw away.
Xiao Li didn't even look at him, he pushed him away and gestured to Chi Xin.
As soon as Chi Xin was about to take a step, Ding Hongkai came over and wrapped himself around Chi Xin again: "Miss Chi is really young and promising, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, I don't know if you would like to go out for a cup of coffee with me. ?"
, the door to the conference room was slammed open.
"I really can't take it anymore. Even if Xiu Bai freezes me here, I'll have to scratch that bastard's face... Huh, Chi Xin?"
Yu Xiang's scolding stopped abruptly when he saw Chi Xin.
Ding Hongkai looked at him, then at Chi Xin, a bad premonition arose in his heart: "Do you know each other?"
Chi Xin lightly sighed, and strode past him and walked to Yu Xiang's side.
"Yu Xiang, didn't you brag about Haikou, saying that you can't have enemies in the base?" she said, "I think you look down on me, don't you believe I can support you?"
"Chi..." Yu Xiang was stunned for a while, and after he saw Ding Hongkai's ugly face, he immediately reacted and made an intimate dog-leg shape, "How can it be, Sister Chi, I don't think everyone is worthy of it. You did it yourself."
"Miss Chi is here?" Mr. Yu's voice sounded from behind the door, "Yu Xiang, why don't you invite her in?"
"I said just call me Chi Xin, Uncle Yu." Chi Xin deliberately changed his nickname and walked in with his happy face, as if the person behind him didn't exist, "I went out and looked around. , I love the city you and Big Brother Yu govern very much..."
Yu Xiang and Xiao Li followed, and the door slowly closed.
Leaving Ding Hongkai standing there, his face was red and white.
"Chi Xin." He murmured, with a gloomy light in his eyes, "I don't believe she really has some people blowing like that, sooner or later... By the way, I still have him to help."
He turned around and took one last look at the conference room.
"No matter how powerful she is, she is still only one person, attached to the place where the building will fall. I see how long she can be arrogant."
Chi Xin didn't know Ding Hongkai's madness, and after coming in, he asked, "What happened to that person?"
Several people in the room looked at each other, all showing similar wry smiles.
"General Ding is nothing but the son of an incompetent son." Yu Xiang snorted, "Who would have thought that General Ding served the country all his life, and the only remaining seedlings would be so ill-fated."
"I was originally General Ding's subordinate." Xiao Li said, "Unfortunately..."
"His father's exploits are enough to provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life. Just ignore him, that's all." Yu Shizhao said.
Yu Xiang pouted in disapproval: "He thinks he is very powerful, didn't he come to exonerate Lian Tianrui?"
Xiao Li frowned: "He is dissatisfied with my sentence?"
"That's more than dissatisfaction, it's simply a huge dissatisfaction." Yu Xiang said, "You didn't see Ding Hongkai's arrogance to let us revoke the military order, as if the entire army belonged to him."
Xiao Li's face sank: "I'll solve it."
Chi Xin didn't intend to tangle more on this, and glanced around: "Where are Congyun and Jing Xiubai?"
"I went to find her parents from Yun, and Xiu Bai went to his father's research room." Yu Xiang said, "My brother has just demarcated a villa for you in the best place, so you should also take a rest."
"I'm not tired." Chi Xin shook his head, "I'll just go to Han Zimo and the others. Now I'll go to the research room."
"Hey wait!" Yu Xiang stopped Chi Xin, who was about to turn around, "I'm afraid they're already too busy now, you can't help a past who doesn't understand research, it's better to keep your spirits up, after all, wait for those Foreign aid is here, but I have something to do."
Think about the core too.
She no longer insisted, knowing that they still had a lot of business to deal with, and no longer wasting their time, she went to Han Zimo and Zheng Junzhi by herself.
It was gratifying to see that none of these people died. After joking with each other, Chi Xin found a house near the research institute.
Jing Xiubai was also called to the laboratory to help. In the next few days, except for some people she knew who came to look for her, she saw no one else.
The body has evolved to this level, and the sleep that Chi Xin needs has become very good. It doesn't matter if she stays up all night for two or three days. She sits under the tree in front of the research institute, from day to night, and comes back the next day. .
Three days have passed, and no one from the research institute has come out.
On the morning of the fourth day, Chi Xin came to the old position again, but this time, she saw a person.
When she saw the old man who was wearing a loose training suit and sitting on her seat, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had read it wrong.
"Chi Xiaoxin." It was the old man who saw her and waved to her, "Morning."
Chi Xin scratched his face: "Professor Jing, is there any progress on Lou Chen's side?"
In her expectant gaze, Professor Jing shook his head.
"You come and sit first." Professor Jing said.
Chi Xin held back his disappointment and walked over to sit beside him.
Looking at her bowed head, Professor Jing still smiled and said, "Young man, there is a saying that good things take time, and sometimes no news is good news."
"I'm too anxious." Chi Xin took a deep breath, "I just don't understand, Lou Chen just passed out, why hasn't he woken up for so many days."
"His situation is not as simple as passing out." Professor Jing was more serious, "The strange thing is that no matter what tools and instruments we use, we can't affect his body, and even when filming, we see virtual images. , makes us unable to judge his real condition, so we dare not take medicine."
Chi Xin frowned: "What do you mean?"
"If it wasn't for a living person lying in front of me, I would have doubted whether he had a fake body or not." Professor Jing sighed.
"But don't worry, our team is still working hard, and we must not miss any possibility to wake him up." He added, "After all, he has a lot of implications."
"Thank you for your hard work." Chi Xin said, "please make sure... let him wake up."
Professor Jing nodded and saw that Chi Xin was still a little worried.
"Ah?" Chi Xin didn't know who Bai Bai was for a while, but after he reacted, a hint of meaning came up, but it was a little dignified, "What did he say about me again."
"He said that you have a righteous heart and a gentle heart." Professor Jing looked at her, "I've never heard a child say so many good things in one breath."
After thinking about Jing Xiubai's coffin face, Chi Xin laughed.
"It's alright, it's even more beautiful." Professor Jing sighed, "It may be this kind of appearance that infected Bai Bai, so that he will no longer be so repulsive to me as a father. ."
The cell is stowed away.
"Don't be nervous, it's because of his childhood incident that kept us separated until we came back this time." Professor Jing said, "I didn't understand that day, what made him so big. The change, now it seems, is because of you."
"It's him who found out that you are his father after all." Chi Xin said.
Professor Jing shook his head slowly: "I don't want to put credit on you. When a person has a heart and a heart, the difference in state is obvious, and for the people closest to him, what caused him to change? , and see clearly."
The core was silent.
"There's nothing wrong with it," said Professor Jing, "but I have a question to ask you. Don't think my old man is long-winded."
"You ask."
"I know that you have a very troublesome job right now, the kind that makes me scared when I hear it." Professor Jing's tone was witty and relaxed, but his eyes were indifferent and deep, mixed with profound clarity and wisdom, "I didn't know you were a temporary Impulsive, or do you have your own plans?"
