21:00 sharp.
It was very quiet in the passage, and there were not many people in the underground hall. Many of the lights were extinguished, leaving only enough illumination to illuminate the road.
At this time, most of the people living in the rooms on both sides were asleep, but there were also some night owls lingering at the door, and some people gathered together in twos and threes, talking and puffing away, enjoying the rare comfort.
The two of them saw the members of the Light Mercenary Team and took a peek inside when they opened the room.
It turns out that not all the rooms in this passage are double rooms. Most of the rooms in the back are multi-person rooms. For example, the Lighting Mercenary Team lives in six-person rooms. But the room was extremely narrow, with the left and right walls divided into upper, middle and lower bunks like a train, with a small sink and toilet sandwiched in between.
The lamplighters also saw them, but neither party spoke to them.
Xiao Mo noticed that the lighting captain Zhang Di was not there.
They didn't see the five young people either. They didn't know if they went to the left passage or if they had other plans.
About twenty meters further, an unpleasant smell came from the depths.
Not long after walking forward, they saw rooms that resembled air-raid shelter compartments. These spaces separated by walls were called rooms but were actually similar to caves.
There are naturally no facilities or doors in this cave-like room, but there are iron frame beds on the upper and lower floors. There are five beds in each cave, and there are also mattresses and bedding.
There are five bunk beds in one cave, which is equivalent to ten people living in each cave. This should be the Datong bunkhouse Cheng Zai mentioned.
The survivors hung clothes or rags to dry at the entrance of the cave to serve as curtains, which at least protected some people.
There is a public toilet for every ten stalls. Probably to save water, the toilets are not flushable. The smell is quite strong, but the people who live here have become accustomed to the smell.
There are also water rooms here, but they are all guarded.
Overall, this accommodation is not good, but definitely not bad either.
I don't know whether it was Xiao Mo and the two who had just cleaned up, or the Datong shop behind them was wary and ill-intentioned towards the newcomers. In just a short time, three or four groups of people had already passed by them. Compared to The first two groups were just snooping around, while the back two groups didn't look very friendly. They looked at them like they were looking at two pieces of fat.
Xiao Mo regretted a little, he would not have done it if he had known it.
"Where is that room?" Xue Lihong remembered the floor plan, but without a ruler, he couldn't grasp the actual location.
Xiao Motiao looked at the map in his mind and said, "Go along the right side and go forward fifteen meters."
From the floor plan, the room they were talking about was only separated from the passage on the right by a wall.
Of course, it's not that this room is the closest to the passage on the right, but judging from the three-dimensional map provided to him by the system, there is a device on the opposite side of the room separated by a wall that no one here can imagine.
It was an elevator leading to a lower level.
Although it is not easy to break through a wall with so many survivors in the middle passage, but with soldiers guarding the left and right passages, they can only try to see if they can borrow the middle passage. At least entering the middle passage will not be difficult. .
The distance of fifteen meters is not long, and the two of them walked there quickly.
Xue Lihong seemed completely unaware of the various emotions being looked at by the people around her. While the army was still under control, he concluded that the thorns here would not dare to attack casually.
Not too good, the place they chose to pass through the wall was also a cave full of people.
Xiao Mo and the other two didn't look too much inside, just like looking into other caves. They just glanced at it and walked straight past it. They walked to the bottom and saw the wall before turning around.
On the way, they saw Lao Wu's family in the cave at the back. Lao Wu saw that the two of them were slightly excited and wanted to come over to talk, but he stopped as soon as he started.
"Hey, you two just came here? Where do you live?" A man in his twenties with a shaved scalp wandered up to them.
"Come and take a look first." Xiao Mo said vaguely. At the same time, he winked at Lao Wu and told him not to come over.
Lao Wu guessed what Xiao Mo might be doing, and didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he silently retreated to his family, while blocking his mother's gaze.
The green-headed man sneered, "What kind of place do you think this is that allows you to pick and choose? But if you have any good things, I can find someone to arrange for you to live in the cave in front as much as possible."
"Oh? What are the benefits ahead?" Xiao Mo looked tempted.
The green-headed man crossed his arms, "I think you can see that the further you go, the cleaner it is, and it's closer to the lobby. You can be in front of the queue whether you're going to get food or work. There are many toilets in the back, so the air quality is naturally not as good. Good ahead.”
"What do you want to exchange for?"
"Carbon-based alloy particles, medicines, weapons, gold, toilet paper, these five things are hard currencies."
"Can I change to a room with a door in the front?"
The green scalped man sneered again: "The front is not a place where you can live if you know someone. There is an extra door, but there is a separate sink and toilet inside. Only people with super powers and powerful mercenary teams can live in it. Or they are people who have made certain contributions. Well, hey, you are not a person with superpowers, are you? You are dressed so cleanly."
Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he regretted once again that he shouldn't have taken a shower in a hurry.
Xue Lihong suddenly pulled Xiao Mo and signaled him to get out of the way.
The sound of neat footsteps sounded, and a group of patrolling soldiers came over. The leading soldier gave Qingtou a cold look. Qingtou immediately put down his arms and showed a flattering smile to the other party, "Captain Liu, thank you for your hard work, tonight is another day." You lead the patrol."
Team Liu said with a straight face, "Don't trick people. If you dare to harm others and deceive them, you know the rules here."
The green-headed man waved his hand quickly, "Captain Liu, of course I know the rules. How dare I harm others? I just asked these two brothers if there is anything they need my help with. I just want to make some extra money."
Team Liu turned to look at Xiao Mo, his expression unexpectedly softened, "Are you Xiao Cheng's friends?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Yes, is he feeling better now?"
"He... is okay." Captain Liu's eyes were heavy, with grief flowing through his eyes.
Xiao Mo guessed that the other party might think that Cheng Zai was dead. Of course, by tomorrow morning, the other party would know that Cheng Zai was the lucky 3%.
"What are you doing in the back?" Liu Dui put his emotions aside and asked.
Xiao Mo, "We want to change something."
Team Liu nodded, "It's quite late. If you want to change things, you can wait until tomorrow. A market will be arranged in the hall, and there will be people watching around then. It will be safe for you to change things."
"Thanks for letting me know, we'll go back soon."
Captain Liu didn't say anything more, turned around and left with the patrol team.
Qing Pipi looked at the two of them this time with a bit of scrutiny, "I tell you two, since you have acquaintances, there is no need for me to find someone to arrange a better place for you. You are not staying here tonight, right?" Where to stay? A VIP room with a door in front?"
Xiao Mo didn't answer, nodded to Qingtou, and walked back with Xue Lihong. There is still some time, and they need to find the most efficient and fastest way to the mission destination as soon as possible.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Qing Tuopi chased after them, "Hey, two handsome guys, didn't you say you want to exchange something? What do you want to exchange? Ham sausage, instant noodles, chocolate, I have everything here, the price is negotiable."
Xiao Mo turned around, smiled, and shook his hand.
The green-headed man didn't want to let go of this seemingly oily person, so he chased and asked: "Do those two handsome guys want a woman? We have young and beautiful student girls here, and there are girls of all kinds. The night is long, and there is nothing." For entertainment, don’t you want a sister Lele? As long as you can afford the price, there are virgins too.”
The two quickened their pace.
Qingpou saw that neither of them had any reaction, and then looked at the mocking looks of several opponents on the road. He felt embarrassed for a moment, stopped and spit on the ground unwillingly: "Bah! Two people are in love!"
Xiao Mo resisted the desire to turn around and beat someone up.
Xue Lihong never looked down upon this level of provocation.
When they reached the hall, the two stopped.
"What should we do?" Xiao Mochou, "Or ask Cheng Zai to help arrange us to stay in the Datong bunk at the back? Then we can find a way to fool everyone inside?"
Xue Lihong objected, "It takes too much time."
And even if they could get through that room and reach the elevator, they probably wouldn't get the chance to ride it easily. The elevator was so important and there must be someone guarding it. They would definitely confront the guarding soldiers, but he didn't say this out loud for fear of It was too shocking to Xiao Mo.
But Xiao Mo himself also thought about it. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Do you think it is possible for Cheng Zai to take us into the main building at the rear?"
He really didn't want to take advantage of his newfound friend and make it look like he was extorting a favor.
"I don't think he has that much power."
"Yes." Xiao Mo suddenly slapped his forehead, "Can the satellite phone here still be connected?"
"Ordinary rooms cannot be used, but an underground air defense base of this level should have a dedicated communication room."
"Yes! There must be a way to communicate with the outside here. If it's not working secretly, we'll take the open road. We'll find Cheng Zai and ask him to take us to the person in charge here, saying that we are General Qiu's people and have a mission now. We need to contact General Qiu, and then see if we can pass General Qiu and get the person in charge here to allow us to enter the rear main building. What do you think of this idea?"
Xue Lihong was calculating the cost of forcing her way in.
It would not be a problem to deal with those soldiers with his skills, but there are still patrols here, and he doesn't know how well guarded the passage and the main building at the back are. It would be difficult to break in without being discovered.
With his cautiousness, even if he wanted to force his way in, he had to first understand the force precautions inside. To find out the force protection in the passage and the main building at the rear, they needed to go out in the open.
After thinking again and again, Xue Lihong came to the conclusion: "It's feasible."
Upon hearing that Xue Lihong agreed with him, Xiao Mo raised his feet and walked towards the soldiers on duty.
Xue Lihong grabbed him: "Many people are resting at this time. We still have a day and a half, so don't be so hasty. In addition, before taking action, you must replenish energy for me, and you must take a good rest to fully recover your strength." "
When Xiao Mo thought about it, he let out a sigh of relief and immediately felt a little weak.
Xue Lihong supported him.
"Huh, it seems that just replenishing energy crystals won't work." Xiao Mo simply put half of his body weight on Xue Lihong.
"Of course, the act of sleeping is very important to most living things." Xue Lihong slid her hand down and pinched it, "I lost weight."
Xiao Mo was pinched so hard that his flesh itched, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Xue Lihong licked her lower lips, "Let's mate, shall we? I heard that having one before going to bed can help you sleep more soundly."
Xiao Mo, "..."
Xue Lihong, "I really don't mind the gender of my partner."
"I mind." Xiao Mo quickly stood up straight and stayed three feet away from the dangerous person.
"Boss, you should have a sense of service towards your employees, so that you can retain good employees." Xue Lihong put it on again and sniffed Xiao Mo's neck. It was the scent of soap he liked.
Xiao Mo looked at him with a speechless expression: "Do you want me to help you maintain your adult appearance in the future?"
Xue Lihong looked back at him for three seconds, "I understand."
"What did you understand?"
"I will find condoms in a size that I can use in the future. I know that although you run a second-hand store, you are actually a very hygienic and clean person."
Xiao Mo, "..." Can I change to another employee
System: "Agree. Support. It is recommended to recycle this biological waste immediately!"
Xiao Mo ignored it.
Xue Lihong looked at his appearance and hesitated, "Or do you want me to focus on cleaning there later? It is said that if men do it to men, if..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Mo couldn't bear it, grabbed his body and turned him in another direction, "Did you see? The green scalp just introduced it, as long as you have alloy particles, you can have whatever you want. Go ahead, Don’t be shy, I’ll cook red bean soup for you tomorrow.”
"Can't it be solved internally?" Xue Lihong was unhappy. Shouldn't a boss take care of the physical and mental development of his employees in an all-round way? Especially in this chaotic period when it's hard to find a girlfriend, why don't he keep his alloy particles and exchange them for beef? And this person had clearly promised him to let him have sex before.
"If you say that again, I'll beat you up!" Xiao Mo said with a straight face.
Xue Lihong looked at his face, something flashed in her mind, and she was instantly blessed, "Are you afraid of getting hurt? It's true that we may not be the same size, but you have the ability to repair, and you can repair yourself if you are injured, right? Me too I’ll lubricate you.”
"...You said you can't maintain your current adult body anymore? Very good, just be a good baby from now on!" Xiao Mo dropped these words gloomily and turned around to leave.
Xue Lihong felt that her boss was a bit unreasonable, but it didn't matter, he would use force to suppress him later.
Back in the room, Xue Lihong asked Xiao Mo to replenish her energy. Xiao Mo felt that this kid's thoughts were a bit abnormal. He admired and liked this partner, but he did not intend to dedicate his body to others to vent his desires.
Alas, my partner is a bisexual, which is really frustrating.
Xiao Mo planned to talk about it one night later, but Pian Xuelihong became stubborn and insisted on complementing him. The two had a half-serious fight.
The lower bunk bed was just that big, so the two of them turned over and I pressed down on them. You punched me and kicked me, until Xiao Mo completely lost his strength and was pinned down by Xue Lihong.
"hurry up!"
"...Don't even think about it." Brat, do you know that you can stand up to your boss
"What good will it do you if I become a child? Do you still want to complete the task?"
"There's still a day and a half." In fact, Xiao Mo couldn't really let Xue Lihong turn into a child. On the one hand, he was enjoying the closeness and slapstick with his friends, which made him feel relaxed mentally. On the other hand, he was also telling Xue Lihong that they were buddies who could fight, but they were definitely not bed partners who could also sleep with each other.
Xue Lihong pinched him, "Then have you ever thought about the consequences of a child suddenly appearing next to you?"
Xiao Mo deliberately ignored it.
"Why are you angry?" Xue Lihong stared at him, suddenly rolled off him, climbed directly to the upper bunk, lay down, and stopped moving.
Xiao Mo waited for a while, but when he saw that the other party had no response, he began to feel uneasy. I couldn't help but think: Maybe Xue Lihong was just joking with him? Did he react too much? Maybe he should just laugh it off
Thinking about it again, since the day I met Xue Lihong, I don’t know how much I have helped him and saved him so many times. Even his family has been favored by him. How could he just show off to others like this? Besides, someone had just comforted him before.
But Xue Lihong really didn't look like she was joking with him, and... the little tent the kid was holding shouldn't be too obvious!
but! He really cares about the gender of his partner... Shit! Any mating partner was misled by that boy. What he wants is not a one-night stand or sex, but a life partner who can combine with his body and soul.
And he already has someone he likes, even if he can never say it out loud and can only look at the other person forever, as long as the other person lives well...
Xiao Mo's breath became longer and he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. This fight completely exhausted all his strength. He was really tired on this day.
Xue Lihong's upper body stretched out from the upper bunk, and she leaned over to look at the sleeping man for a long, long time.
If there was anyone in the room at this time, they would definitely be frightened by Xue Lihong's posture, because his legs were placed upright and straight on the mattress, while his upper body was completely staggered as if there was no connection with the lower body.
System: Do you want to wake up the host? Should I remind the other party that there is a 100% possibility that he is coveting his mutated genes and wants to plunder them through sexual means
The system is a little tangled, this is not within its scope of work, but it is really unwilling to parasitize this horrible bastard.
Brother System, who was tangled up and down, and was still distracted looking for another consciousness... was half dead.
Bastard Snow didn't need a long sleep. He originally planned to let his boss have a good night's rest while he went out for a walk, but just as he was about to leave!
"Bu—bu—" the piercing alarm sounded suddenly.
Xiao Mo sat up suddenly, Xue Lihong slid down and stood beside the bed.
Although Xiao Mo sat up, he was still conscious. He couldn't even tell whether it was a dream or reality.
He just dreamed that Lao Wu's nephew turned into an angel. The child screamed and cried at him and rushed towards him, shouting: "You can obviously save me, why don't you save me! Am I useless to you?" , You don’t know me, so you’re not willing to save me? You’re not a good person at all, you’re even worse than those bad people!”
Then in the dream, he smiled at the mutated child, pulled out an ax from behind, and swung the ax with great accuracy at the invisible head of the trumpet angel!
The trumpet angel made a piercing scream, and the sky was filled with blood and feathers.
In the dream, he raised his head, letting the angel's blood fall on his face, and slowly raised a finger to him.
"bu—bu—"
Xiao Mo sat on the bed and broke into a cold sweat. Where is he? Is this a dream or reality
Seeing him like that, Xue Lihong subconsciously stepped forward to cover the man's ears and pushed him back with a little force, "Shh, it's okay. It's just a dream. Go to sleep."
Xiao Mo opened his eyes and blinked twice. He didn't want to sleep. He didn't want to see him in his dreams again, but he was too tired. Xue Lihong's hands were so warm and his voice was so charming. …
Xiao Mo closed his eyes weakly, and his body slowly fell onto the mattress.
The siren suddenly stopped and there was a noise in the corridor.
Xue Lihong's hand covering the man's ears moved to his face, her fingers paused slightly, and she gently wiped away a few tears secreted from the corners of the man's eyes, wiping away the panic, anxiety and guilt on his forehead and eyes, curious and cherished at the same time She rubbed his face for a while.
This kind of caressing seemed to have magical power. Xiao Mo was not affected by the noise outside at all, and his dreams were no longer so scary. He felt the warmth of his companions and felt that he was not alone. Suddenly, he no longer feared in his heart and raised his head. He bravely looked at the man who looked exactly like him...
Xue Lihong saw that the man's expression became calm and fell into a deep sleep. She was proud that the other man trusted her so much and was happy about her influence on him. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, pinched the man's face, and pulled up the blanket to cover him. Then he put on his backpack, opened the door, and slipped out quietly.
Hearing the siren, many people outside ran out of the room. The patrol team tried to calm everyone down and asked them to go back to their rooms, but few were obedient.
Xue Lihong closed the door and set up a small trap. When he walked into the crowd, no one noticed him.
The chaos seemed to be coming from Datongpu in the back.
Xue Lihong was walking among the crowd and listening to people's comments. He saw Qing Shou. Qing Shou had a frightened look on his face and blood on his face. He was waving his arms and shouting loudly to a middle-aged man who looked like Lian Jiazi. What.
Xue Lihong came closer.
"Dead! Dead!" Qingtou screamed.
"Be quiet!" Lian Jiazi scolded Qing Shou.
Qingcao's pupils dilated, "That's a second-level mutant rat! It's so big, it must be a second-level mutant rat! Didn't it say it's very deep here? How could you let those rats get in? I don't want to stay here, I want to get out! I want to go out!"
"De Guang! Keep your voice down!" Lian Jiazi tried to comfort Qing Shou.
Qingtou lowered his voice a little, but the panic on his face did not reduce much. His hands couldn't help but tremble, "That thing jumped out of the pit! It was right next to me! If it weren't for the fact that there was another person squatting next to me. Man, I’m the one who’s going to die!”
"Let me ask you, have you seen what that thing looks like?"
"I, I... The light was so dim, and I saw a shadow. It was very big, bigger than an adult cat, with red eyes. It must be a mutant rat. I have seen mutant rats, which were also that big, and had a pair of red eyes! "The green-headed man said as if he was about to faint.
"Tokuguang! Resurrection!" A slap sounded.
Qing Shou covered his face, but his expression was much calmer than before.
"Let me ask you again, did you see the person squatting in the pit next door being dragged into the tunnel by that thing?"
"I saw it... Yes! I saw it!" Qing Shou's eyes changed from blank to frightened again.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid. Captain Liu will come over later and just tell the truth."
The green scalp couldn't help but tremble, "Brother Cao, that toilet is not far from where we live. Do you think that thing will come out again in the middle of the night and drag us all down?"
"Don't worry blindly! Captain Liu and the others will take care of it." Lian Jiazi Brother Cao waved his hand and asked the two brothers to leave with their green scalps between their legs.
Team Liu brought people over, and Brother Cao took the initiative to greet them.
Xue Lihong knew this person's plan as soon as she saw Brother Cao's expression. At present, few people probably knew that Qingfou was the first witness at the scene. If Brother Cao detained this person first, he could ask for more from Team Liu and other managers. A little benefit.
But he didn't care at all about the intrigues between people - he had seen too many before, and what he was more curious about was the toilet where the monster appeared.
It's a pity that Xiao Mo's floor plan was too simple and he didn't draw the ventilation, sewer and other equipment, and he didn't know where the toilet tunnel would eventually lead.
No one dares to approach the toilet at the end.
Xue Lihong's body twisted, her shadow clinging to the wall, and she slipped into the toilet in full view of everyone.
But whether it was because the lights were too dim or people were too scared, no one saw what he did.
The smell in the toilet was very unpleasant, but Xue Lihong seemed to have blocked her sense of smell without even frowning.
This is the oldest long squatting pit with no obstructions in the middle. There is a water tank on the wall at the end, which will flush the tunnel regularly.
The tunnel is not wide, and an adult may miss the mark but will never fall.
But Qingpipi said that thing dragged people into the tunnel.
Xue Lihong's eyes fell on some jet-like traces of liquid on the walls and sides of the tunnel.
It was blood that hadn't dried yet.
There are still some scraps of meat on the ground.
He knew how that thing dragged a grown man into the tunnel. That thing must have torn the person into several pieces. No wonder there was blood on Qingtou's face and body. The guy was not frightened and went crazy on the spot, which is considered a good psychological quality.
There were footsteps outside the toilet.
Xue Li's red body was pressed against the wall, and Team Liu led people in.
"Turn on the bright lights!"
Xue Lihong took advantage of the moment of confusion and left against the wall.
After returning, he raised his arms and sniffed, then took off all his clothes, turned on the faucet to take a bath, and specially picked a soap with the same smell as Xiao Mo's.
After washing, he didn't wear any clothes, so he climbed onto the lower bunk and slept naked.
Why? Xiao Mo was sleeping on the lower bunk
Oh, this is not a problem. Xue Lihong pushed the person inside to make room, then hugged the person into her arms. Well, the bed problem was perfectly solved!
However, out of some revenge, he hugged the person and bit him a few times. Anyway, this person had the ability to repair, and even if his body was injured, it would automatically repair without leaving a trace.
slow! Will it leave no trace? So what if he does this again
Brother Xue Lihong, who has wanted to do something since he became an adult, rolled up his boss's vest, stared at the two points of light brown, lowered his head, and opened his mouth.
