Xiao Mo, who was walking towards the big classroom, heard the beeping sound from the communicator. As soon as he opened it, he heard Cheng Zai's excited voice coming from inside: "Brother Xiao, good news!"
"What good news?"
"The tunnel is about to be opened. General Qiu Feng has dispatched three earth-type supernatural beings to help. Maybe we can go out in a few days!" Cheng Zai's voice seemed to fly with joy.
When Xiao Mo heard the good news, he couldn't help but curl up his lips, "That's great!"
General Qiu really had nothing to say to them. Earth-type superpowers were currently very popular in the base, and because they were few in number, they usually stayed in the base to build various infrastructures. Everyone was extremely busy. Currently, there are only five earth-type superpowers in Zhongshan Base. Unexpectedly, Qiu Feng sent three out of them at once.
This is a huge favor.
"Major General Zhang will announce the good news to the entire base later!" Cheng Zai's voice suddenly lowered, "Brother Xiao, tell Brother Xue to move quickly. I heard that people from the capital Ucaiyan are also here this time. It seems that I want to pack up the important supplies and information that I didn’t have time to take away before.”
"I understand." Xiao Mo just came out of the warehouse on the third floor of the negative three. Most of the base vehicle has been repaired. Now the only thing missing is the control center. It seems that he and Xiao Hong are going to speed up.
Xiao Mo suddenly sneered and patted his forehead. Is this considered embezzlement of state property? I always feel a little uneasy about my conscience.
But now Xiaohong almost regards the base car as his son. If he dares to tell the other party not to pursue that car again... God knows what that guy will do.
Turning the corner, you can already see the parents coming to pick up their children from get out of class. Of course, they are all older. Nowadays, the young and strong ones are digging tunnels.
"Goodbye, teacher! Goodbye, big brothers and big sisters!" With the clear and soft children's voice coming from the big classroom in front, a group of little ones rushed out of the classroom.
Xiao Mo saw the familiar little figure and raised his hand, "Xiao Fei, this way!"
When Lin Xiaofei saw Xiao Mo, his eyes were bright and he ran over with a small schoolbag on his back, "Uncle Xiao... Captain! Why are you here to pick me up? Are you all well?"
Xiao Mo held the child's paw and said, "Well, it's okay."
This is already the second day after he received the system reward. In fact, he was fine yesterday afternoon, and it was a blessing in disguise. He now has more control over his repair ability than before. This can be seen from the speed and efficiency of his repairing the base vehicle in the morning. come out. Not to mention the feeling of comfort that fills the whole body with strength after genetic optimization.
When he was chatting with Xiaohong in the morning, he learned that Lin Xiaofei was temporarily under their care, but the child would not live with them and would live with other orphans in the base at night.
He thought that Lin Xiaofei asked him for his parents before, but when he woke up, the child didn't mention his parents at all. Xiaohong also said that the child was now living with other orphans, so he already knew that his parents were gone
But the child looked lively and lively, and it didn't look like he had just learned that his parents had passed away.
And Lin Xiaofei didn't feel like he was heartless, so why
Xiao Mo was thinking about how to mention his parents to Lin Xiaofei, but he was afraid of hurting the child's heart.
As a result, the child grabbed his hand and walked, suddenly looked up at him and said, "Captain,"
"You can call me uncle." Xiao Mo looked down at him.
The kid shook his head, "I want to call you captain."
"Okay, as long as you like it. What do you want to say to me?" Xiao Mo asked gently.
The child raised his hand and scratched his forehead, "I want to see my parents. Grandpa Zhang said they are lying in the icehouse, but the soldier guarding the door won't let me in."
Xiao Mo paused, "Xiao Fei, do you know what happened to your parents?"
Xiao Fei lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Mo felt that the child's behavior was a bit strange.
"Isn't it possible?" the child asked.
Xiao Mo thought for a while, "I'll find someone to ask."
Because of Xiao Mo's continuous outstanding contributions, basically the base management would agree to any of his requests as long as they were not excessive, let alone such a trivial matter as seeing a frozen corpse.
Even because it was Xiao Mo who asked to see the corpses, the manager in charge was so frightened that he came over and asked him if the corpses were carrying viruses and whether it would be better to burn them.
Xiao Mo said ambiguously: "I'll take a look first." and rejected the manager's suggestion to accompany him.
At the door of the ice house, Xiao Mo bent down, looked into Lin Xiaofei's eyes seriously, and confirmed with him again: "Are you really going in?"
The child nodded vigorously.
Xiao Mo thought about it again and again, and finally said: "You know that your parents... have gone to another world, right?"
The child didn't nod or shake his head this time, only his eyes were red, "I want to see them."
Xiao Mo didn't want a child under ten years old to see the bodies of his parents. That would be too cruel. But the child was very persistent, his eyes full of longing and pleading.
"Okay, if you are afraid, I will take you away immediately." After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he handed the body number he got from the administrator to the guarding soldier.
The soldier opened the icehouse door.
Xiao Mo stood outside and saw the half-full frozen meats such as pork, beef and so on.
Yes, the corpses that need to be preserved are here, placed in an icehouse with the meat that everyone usually eats. No way, it's all about saving energy.
The body was in the innermost part, separated by a curtain. It is said that three soldiers usually go in together to pick up the frozen meat outside, just to strengthen their courage.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Mo and his children to go in directly to see the body. They entered the next room, and the guard soldiers pushed the body into this room.
Two ambulances were rolled in and the bodies were placed in black body bags.
Xiao Mo glanced at the child and asked the two soldiers not to go out for the time being.
The soldiers understood and did not leave, and the door was open.
The child's hands were shaking a little, but he still walked slowly to the morgue.
Xiao Mo stepped forward and unzipped the body bag a little, and saw a man's face turned blue from the cold.
No dead person is good-looking, but Lin Xiaofei's father died relatively peacefully. His facial features were calm and not distorted at all.
Lin Xiaofei firmly grasped the hem of Xiao Mo's clothes with one hand. He wanted to look but didn't dare to look.
"Captain, open your mouth."
"Huh?" The child's request was too weird, "Are you scared? How about we go out first?"
"Captain, open your mouth." The child tried his best to say this sentence again.
Xiao Mo didn't know what the child meant, but he was also curious about why the child asked him to do this, so he asked the soldier for gloves, put them on, and then bent down to open Lin Xiaofei's father's mouth.
Xiao Mo was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
The soldier immediately became alert and raised his gun, "Brother Xiao, what did you find?"
"In his mouth..." This was the first time Xiao Mo saw a human corpse after turning into a guardian beast.
The soldier reacted and immediately lost his nervousness, "Oh, you saw the mouthparts, it's this thing, it's so scary! It's just like the legendary alien. But it has been confirmed that there is no active object in their body."
Lin Xiaofei had already been pulled away by Xiao Mo, but at this time he actually took a step forward and stood on tiptoe to see the person in the body bag.
Xiao Mo quickly picked up the child, fearing to scare him.
As a result, the child turned around, hugged his neck, and said with great certainty: "He is not my father!"
Xiao Mo was stunned. He repeatedly confirmed with the administrator that the bodies of the child's parents were indeed here, and looking at the man's facial features, he could tell that he was the child's direct relative.
"you sure?"
"Um!"
Xiao Mo took off his gloves, held the child with one hand, and asked the soldiers to help open the other body bag. A rather good-looking female face was revealed inside. This woman's facial features also had the shadow of Lin Xiaofei.
Lin Xiaofei also asked Xiao Mo to open the mouth of the female corpse.
The soldier took the gloves and put them on, then opened them with his help.
Xiao Mo leaned forward to take a look. The female corpse had the same abnormal mouthparts as the male corpse. The mouthparts looked very much like the head of some kind of little monster.
Lin Xiaofei hugged Xiao Mo's neck and turned to look at the female corpse. After just one glance, he turned his head and said with the same certainty: "She is not my mother either."
Xiao Mo didn't understand, so he asked the soldiers to push the body back into the freezer, and then went to the administrator to confirm with the child.
"They are definitely Lin Xiaofei's parents, there is no mistaking them. Look, this is their photo. We all took pictures to keep." The administrator was afraid that Xiao Mo would misunderstand that they were not serious about their work, so he quickly brought a photo album and turned to Lin Xiaofei. Point to the page for parents.
Pictures of dead people look weird.
Xiao Mo endured the weirdness and discomfort and looked at it again and again. The photos were of the male and female corpses just now. Now from a flat surface, he could see more similarities with Lin Xiaofei's facial features.
Xiao Mo thanked the administrator and explained that the monster in the other person's body was dead and no virus remained. However, it was recommended that no one should have direct contact with the body.
The administrator nodded desperately. Those corpses were so terrifying. If Major General Zhang hadn't said that they would be kept for research by the institute, he would have pushed all of them to be cremated immediately.
On the way back, Xiao Mo kept holding the child.
Lin Xiaofei also kept holding his neck.
Xiao Mo slowed down and turned to look at the child, "Xiao Fei, why did you say they are not your parents?"
The child motioned to Xiao Mo to put him down, took a few steps forward, then turned back and stretched out his hand.
Xiao Mo held his little hand.
The child stepped on his own shadow and took two steps, and suddenly said: "They just look like my parents, but I know they are not. My parents, like my grandparents, were all taken away by monsters. Captain, wait When I grow up, I want to go to the monster’s base camp to rescue them!”
Xiao Mo: "...when did you know they were not your parents?"
"The morning I got sick."
"So you asked me to take you to see their... just to make sure?"
"Um."
Xiao Mo suddenly thought of something, "You said you found out that your parents were not your parents on the morning when you got sick. Did you tell anyone about this?"
The child nodded, "I'm very scared. I'm afraid that the monster will eat me and turn into a monster child again. I'll go find Uncle Nee. My parents said that if they are not with me, I should go find them if anything happens. Uncle Ni. After hearing this, Uncle Ni said that he would deal with those two monsters, and asked me not to tell the story first, because no one would believe what the children said, and the monsters would run away after hearing the news. "
At this point, Xiao Mo finally understood the causes and consequences of the child being planted with the living dead virus.
It was similar to what he had guessed before, except that Lin Xiaofei was more alert and discovered something was wrong with his parents. But his parents never expected that Ni Wei, whom they regarded as their biggest support, not only failed to protect their child, but instead used the child as a hospital bed for the living dead virus in order to silence him.
On the way, Xiao Mo told the children little by little about Ni Wei and his parents. However, he did not say that his parents were completely dead. Instead, he followed the children and told them that they had been captured by monsters. The two looked like his parents. is nothing more than a monster in disguise.
Returning to the temporary nest, Xue Lihong has returned.
"Where have you been? Why did you come back?" He has already prepared the food.
Xiao Mo put down the child and patted his butt.
The child ran into the bathroom to wash his hands.
Xiao Mo then said to the young man: "Take Xiaofei to see his parents, but..."
"how?"
Xiao Mo walked up to the young man and whispered about the child.
Xue Lihong didn't have any reaction after hearing this. She just thought that it was no wonder that threatening the child to kill his parents before was of no use. Maybe the child already knew in his heart that his parents were gone. As for the child's statement that he would go to the monster base camp to rescue his whole family in the future. , it’s nothing more than a child’s self-escape.
Xiao Mo also went into the bathroom to wash his hands. The feeling of breaking someone's mouth just now still remained.
The child was wiping tears in the bathroom. When he saw Xiao Mo coming in, he sniffed in embarrassment and walked to the sink to unscrew his hands and wash his hands.
Xiao Mo felt so unhappy that he hugged the child from behind, grabbed the child's hand, and put them together under the faucet to wash them.
One parent and one child washed their hands and came out. A sumptuous lunch was already placed on the coffee table.
Food is always the most healing thing.
Xiao Mo and Lin Xiaofei made a slurping expression at the same time. Xiao Mo let out a strange scream on purpose, grabbed his chopsticks and thrust them into his favorite food.
"Eat quickly! Only when you are full can you have the strength to grow up well, and only when you grow up can you have the strength to fight monsters! If you don't eat, you will be gone!"
right! I want to grow up quickly and fight monsters! It's best to become as powerful as the vice-captain said. Lin Xiaofei held hope in his heart, and his gloomy mood quickly dissipated. His parents, grandparents, parents-in-law are still waiting for him to rescue him!
Two days later, the base vehicle was 95% repaired, and Xue Lihong began to test the vehicle control program.
Xiao Mo took the time to discuss with his friends and said that he would take Lin Xiaofei over to live with him.
Xue Lihong refused, "You want him to watch actual combat at such a young age?"
Xiao Mo reacted for three seconds and his neck turned red.
Xue Lihong touched his neck ruthlessly, "Didn't you say that the tunnel will be opened soon? There's no point in moving here now. Besides, that kid might want to be with other children."
Xiao Mo thought about it, Lin Xiaofei was a little afraid of Xiao Hong, and he might be even more uncomfortable if he really moved here. Anyway, the child eats three meals with them, and there is no need to worry about him going hungry or being bullied.
Besides, the base vehicle is a national asset, wouldn’t it be bad if they just took it away
Xue Lihong sneered, "It turned out to be a rag, and no one wanted to retreat. Now that I have finally repaired it, they say it belongs to the country?"
Xiao Mo wanted to say that he was obviously the main force in repairing the car, but when he thought that Xiao Hong had tinkered with a lot of things on the car, including programming and modifications, and the effort it took was no less than his, he kept silent.
"Cheng Zai said how long until the tunnel can be opened?" Xue Lihong asked.
"If we hurry, we can get through tomorrow."
Xue Lihong leaned on the car, "Boss, you have to know that this thing is originally a piece of garbage. They can't repair this car except for you and me. I bet they didn't even study the internal structure of this car. It’s clear, do you believe it or not?”
I believe. Xiao Mo raised his hand and smiled bitterly, "Hey, don't look at me like that, okay? I can't get rid of my concept for a while, right?"
"It's not a matter of concept." Xue Lihong said seriously, "You mean you can't just take this car for nothing, right? Even if it was originally a piece of garbage."
Xiao Mo nodded and shook his head.
Xue Lihong patted the car, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to this base now if you failed to recover the living dead virus?"
Without waiting for Xiao Mo's answer, Xue Lihong said directly: "The building will be blown up into ashes and no residue will be left! Not to mention the base vehicle, no one will dare to pick up a single brick here."
"I know what you mean, I..."
"You are a great hero who recovered the living dead virus and saved the entire country from being destroyed by zombies!"
"Hello."
"For such a great thing, the country should give you a large reward, right? But no. But heroes also need to eat. Isn't there a saying that heroes can't be made to bleed and shed tears? Let's pick up some garbage that the country doesn't want. I believe If the country knows what you have done, they will definitely not mind, and maybe they will give you more good things. So look, should we apply?"
Xiao Mo begged for mercy, "Ancestor, the problem now is, with such a big car and you making it so dazzling, how can we take it away?"
The originally pure black car body turned into a luxurious and dazzling black and silver after applying a layer of self-prepared paint in Xuelihong. That's not all. This morning, Xuelihong also spray-painted large hell flowers on the car body, which are extremely gorgeous and look like burning flames.
Seeing Xiao Mo's compromise, Xue Lihong showed a victorious smile, "I've thought of this a long time ago. You haven't tried this car yet. Don't you know what its specific functions are? Wait, look at my little wife. I’ll show you a trick.”
Doesn’t it turn out that the son is the mistress? Xiao Mo, who didn't want to ask who the eldest wife was, watched the young man get into the carriage.
Two minutes later, Xiao Mo saw with his own eyes that the huge base vehicle had shrunk by half like a Transformer. It was like a fat Western dragon losing weight and turning into a slender Eastern dragon. The three-meter-wide vehicle suddenly shrunk. Shrunk to one meter, the length remains the same.
In the blink of an eye, the car disappeared.
Xiao Mo took a step forward in disbelief and reached out to touch the car.
"Huh!" The car body is still there, but the vision is deceived.
The vehicle appeared again, and to Xiao Mo's surprise, the vehicle's width had narrowed again. Now it was not even one meter wide, and even its length had become much shorter. It looked smaller than a children's toy car.
Xue Lihong opened the car window and stuck her head out, "Come in."
Xiao Mo went to pull the rear door. Although he repaired the car, he basically copied it according to the three-dimensional diagram. He really didn't know what the function of this car was.
"Come to the front." Xue Lihong stopped him.
"Front? How can one more person sit in such a narrow space?" Xiao Mo went around to the assistant's seat and opened the door.
"You'll know when you come in."
Xiao Mo opened the car door and was stunned.
He took a step back, closed the car door, and looked at the car's appearance first. Yes, the width is still that narrow.
He went over to open the car door and saw inside. The young man sitting in the driver's seat pointed at him and said, "Come up quickly."
Xiao Mo got in the car, sat down, closed the door, looked left and right, and looked at the distance between him and the young man. There was an aisle between them!
Xiao Mo looked back in disbelief. He had seen the three-dimensional diagram of the structure inside the car and had repaired it himself. Of course he knew what it looked like, but!
The interior of the bus is visually wider than an ordinary bus. The overall layout is a bit like a motorhome, but it looks much more comfortable than a motorhome.
Xue Lihong pressed a button, and their chairs easily turned around and faced inward.
Behind the two chairs is a living room and conference room with a sofa and a workbench.
There is a decent kitchen immediately behind the living room, and there is a bar between the kitchen and the living room.
There is also a long alloy dining table in the middle of the kitchen aisle that can seat six people, and there is a small dining table for two people by the window that can sit face to face.
Behind the small dining table is the bathroom, and opposite the bathroom is a storage box from top to bottom.
Further back is a door facing the two of them, indicating that there is still space behind, and it is not small.
Xiao Mo opened his mouth wide and kept mumbling: "How is this possible?"
Xue Lihong's usually calm eyes also had a hint of jump and show off, "Go over and have a look. Although you put it back together, you must not know what the effect will be after you put it together. There will be more for you later. Surprising."
Xiao Mo got up from the chair and walked to the living room.
There's not much to say about the living room, at least so far. The sofa can be used as a sofa bed in both length and width, so it won't be a problem to sleep three or four adults.
The cooking countertops in the kitchen are all made of alloy materials. Xue Lihong said that they can use electricity or open fire directly. It has all the functions that a kitchen should have.
Xiao Mo turned the faucet on the sink, but no water came out.
"The water hasn't started to accumulate yet. This car has its own water filtration system. I modified it so that it can directly absorb water from outside until the filtration system cannot bear it. In addition, in addition to adding water, this car can also automatically collect dew, Rain and other natural water sources.”
"Is electricity solar?"
"Are you stupid? This car is powered by semi-perpetual nuclear energy. As long as the power source is not destroyed, it can always supply power."
Xiao Mo was really dumbfounded. Even before the car was shrunk, it was definitely not that big from the outside. When he was repairing it, he was doing it part by part and didn't notice this at all.
"Why… "
Xue Lihong smiled, "Shh, don't worry, just read it first and I'll tell you the answer later."
Xiao Mo had no choice but to continue visiting with curiosity.
When the bathroom door opens, it's not cramped inside at all. It has a toilet, a sink, and a shower, and two big men can stand in it at the same time without feeling crowded. He didn't feel it when he was repairing it before, but now he realizes how luxurious it is to have such a large bathroom and shower in a car.
Opposite the bathroom is the refrigerator on the left half and storage on the right half.
"The storage cabinets here are just for storing small items, such as towels and toilet paper. The real storage space is at the back."
At this time, Xiao Mo still didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence, until Xue Lihong turned the doorknob and pushed open the last door.
… This is not the last door.
"What on earth did you do?" Is this really the base vehicle he restored
Xiao Mo stood at the door and couldn't help shouting anymore. He didn't believe that this car was so awesome in the first place. If this car was like this from the beginning, even if it turned into scrap metal, those scientists would probably tow it away. .
Xue Lihong hugged Xiao Mo from behind very domineeringly, licked his ears and said: "I just turned on some of the functions that this car originally had. Oh, I forgot to mention, these functions They were all useless originally, but you fixed them, my Lord Restorer."
Xiao Mo stared at the door and had forgotten how to speak.
The system also appeared at this time, and said something very, very rare and positive: "You are in good luck. The prototype of this vehicle is the first-generation Wilderness Star multi-functional investigation vehicle in the Helusher galaxy. It was damaged and then abandoned. It was abandoned. The space expandability and foldability, as well as the fixed-point connection function with the space warehouse are not the best, but they are enough for you at the moment."
"Heluse Galaxy?" Xiao Mo suddenly came to his senses, "Are you from the Heluse Galaxy? Are those who treat life on earth as playthings the intelligent creatures of the Heluse Galaxy?"
The system was naturally silent.
After initially understanding the extraordinary nature of this base vehicle, Xiao Mo did two things.
The first thing is to firmly refuse Xiaohong to call the car her little wife.
The second thing, before the tunnel is opened, is to restore the car to 100% as much as possible and understand its capabilities.
The next day, huge cheers came and the tunnel was finally opened.
