"I thought about it, and I kept thinking about it. Then I convinced myself with two reasons."

"First, I have the ability but can't use it. What's the difference between that and not having the ability? It's the same if I use it less or secretly."

"Second, it's what you said to me. You said that when a person's usable value is too high, it will arouse the jealousy and greed of others, and even destroy him. But if this too high value exceeds the vast majority People's psychological predictions can bring benefits to the vast majority of people, so those who want to protect him and use him to protect him will greatly outnumber those who want to harm him."

There is another reason Xiao Mo didn't say, that is, he hopes to do more for others, his country, and the world, so that when he dies, he can at least say to himself, "You once lived a worthwhile life." .

Xue Lihong was convinced, but he was very unhappy. Even though his dead face remained unchanged from usual, Xiao Mo could tell that he was unhappy.

And the reason why Xiao Hong is unhappy... Well, this is really not his fault. In broad daylight, in the wild, or in a place where people may come anytime and anywhere, it is impossible for Xiao Hong to succeed even if he is killed. His lower limit is still Not that low.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Cheng Zai came over.

Xiao Mo got out of the cab of an abandoned tank and clapped his hands, "I'm checking these vehicles to see if they can be repaired."

"Hey? Can it be repaired? I just heard the technician say that the cars here are very damaged."

"Not all of them." Xiao Mo said vaguely: "Some cars can be restarted as long as the spare parts are replaced."

"That's great! Brother Xiao, you are so awesome!" Cheng Zai saw with his own eyes how the dilapidated base vehicle was finally repaired by him and Xue Lihong, and he was confident in Xiao Mo's ability to repair the vehicle.

Xiao Mo casually rubbed Cheng Zai's head and got into another car.

Cheng Zai should have seen that his ability was not limited to healing, but this kid never asked him. I wonder if he has been working in the military communications department, which has a very high level of confidentiality, and has developed the habit of keeping secrets at all times, reading more, listening more, doing more, and not asking too many questions.

"Brother Xiao, do you need my help?"

"Yes, you go into the cockpit, and if I tell you to start it, just start it and take a look."

"No key..."

"Use this." Xiao Mo threw out a key, which was specially left by Xiao Hong. It is said that it can open 99.9% of mechanical locks.

When Xue Lihong drove the base vehicle back, Xiao Mo was still working with Cheng Zai to repair the vehicle.

"Holy shit! Is that the son of some big shot in the H City base back?" The first young man who saw the base car opened his mouth wide, his eyes popping out with envy and jealousy.

"Ooooh!" More people spotted the car.

Many soldiers whistled.

Lei Bing also abandoned Zhang Hua immediately, jumped to a high place and looked at the car, "Grandma's! Who drives this car? It's so damn showy, I really want to beat him!"

The soldiers who followed Lei Bing cheered: "Captain, go grab it! Grab it, grab it!"

"What a fool! Do you think you are a bandit?" Lei Bing laughed and scolded, but he was actually very excited. There’s no man who doesn’t covet such a domineering and sexy car!

The car is not fast, but its huge body, luxurious colors, and patterns that burn like flames on its body would blind a lot of people even before the chaos, let alone this time

Zhang Hua is also speculating on the identity of the owner of this car. He remembers that Lu Zhiguo's son is not old and his personality is not so arrogant. Then besides Lu Zhiguo's son, who else can drive such a car in the H City base and still keep it? With such a large body, gasoline consumption is huge.

Or some powerful mercenary team? Zhang Hua prefers this guess.

Everyone thought that the car would drive into the H City base, but the car actually drove straight towards them.

The car was getting closer and closer, and many people who were busy stopped what they were doing and looked at the behemoth that was so cool that it had no friends.

The ground condition is not very good, the asphalt road does not connect here, the cement floor has become bumpy for various reasons, and one section is still a dirt road.

But the car seems surprisingly easy to drive.

Seeing that the car was about to drive in front of them, it suddenly turned and parked firmly into the Zhongshan Base convoy, and happened to be parked next to the medical vehicle 120-6.

Lei Bing met Zhang Hua's questioning eyes and scratched his forehead, one of his own? Or parked at the wrong place

Lei Bing jumped off the roof of the abandoned vehicle and walked quickly towards the car.

Many people also came over to look at it, wanting to meet the owner of the car. By the way, it would be better if they could touch the car or take a photo up close. Thanks to the abundant electricity in the underground base, many people can still use their mobile phones. In this unstable/stable period, it is very important to have fun for yourself. Many people cannot survive because they lack a little bit of fun for themselves. A little fun.

The car door opened, Xue Lihong jumped out and slammed the door.

Onlookers: It turns out that he is really one of our own!

Lei Bing: "...Tell me! Where did you steal it from?"

"Get out." Xue Lihong passed by him expressionlessly.

Lei Bingzhi, who rolled in the wrong direction, was completely fascinated by the base vehicle. He jumped on it and fumbled here and there, wishing he had a pocket, and then loaded the vehicle away.

"What brand is this car? I didn't see the sign." More people gathered around to look at it.

"custom made?"

"This is an off-road RV, right? It's good, but it's so big, can it be driven back on the road?"

"Such a good car, you have to carry it back."

"I don't know! Look at the tires of this car. The chassis is so high. The tires... Damn! The tires don't even have a brand, and the wheel rims seem to have mechanisms."

Just looking at her was no longer enough to satisfy these people. They were originally a little wary of Xue Lihong's strength, but seeing how intoxicated Lei Bing was, some people finally couldn't help but extend their claws to the car.

"Stab it."

"ah!"

Lei Bing and several people who touched the car body held their hands and jumped away at the same time.

"Is there electricity?"

Lei Bing didn't believe it, so he touched it with his hand. This time the current was a little stronger, and Lei Bing was electrocuted so much that his body trembled.

"Oh my god!" Lei Bing, who took a while to recover, did not dare to approach the car again.

Others saw that this car was not easy to mess with, so they kept a distance and did not dare to get closer.

Xuelihong is not worried about damage to the vehicle at all, let alone that someone will be electrocuted. Although the artificial intelligence of the car is not very advanced, it is more than enough to protect itself. If it encounters something that the vehicle's intelligence cannot handle, it will The information comes to him for him to judge.

Zhang Hua was much more stable than Lei Bing. He did not go to watch the car, but walked directly over and asked Xue Lihong, "Is that your car?"

"Yeah." Xue Lihong also had some respect for Zhang Hua.

"A car driven by young people like you is pretty cool! But where did you hide such a big car in advance? And it's not easy to drive this car all the way from Zhongshan City, right?"

"Just got it."

"Just got it? Is there a luxury car store nearby? Or did you know in advance that this car is nearby?" Zhang Hua did not hide his curiosity. There is nothing wrong with luxury cars, but there are not many cars that can discharge electricity.

Xue Lihong looked at Zhang Hua, "The reward comes from Organization 07."

Zhang Hua's eyes flashed, "Oh... So, can you take a look inside?"

"cannot."

Major General Zhang was very sad to be rejected, but he couldn't catch up with the young people and stalk them since they were all running away. Forget it, it’s just a car, maybe it’s more crash-resistant and wear-resistant, it can’t be possessed by Transformers, right

When Xiao Mo restored the vehicle, he originally planned to repair only the interior, so that he could keep a low profile.

But Xiao Hong said: "You are so low-key once your ability is exposed! Since you want to help Zhang Hua, then you will help Zhang Hua to the end. If you get a batch of new cars, others will not guess that this is a supernatural ability, so Let the people at the H City Base rack their brains to guess the origin of these vehicles, and they will probably think they are support from the Zhongshan Base."

"Then should we talk to Lei Bing first?"

"No. Suffocate him to death."

"...Can you be more childish?"

"Okay, can I turn back to five years old and show you tonight?"

With the child Xue Lihong causing trouble (helping), Xiao Mo repaired the vehicle a little faster, but in order to prevent people from immediately noticing something strange - Xiaohong said that there were spies from the H city base wandering around them, which of course was not the case. The main purpose of keeping an eye on them was to monitor Major General Zhang Hua and his batch of supplies. For this reason, he only repaired the interior of the vehicle and prepared to repair the exterior before setting off for the mission the next day.

Cheng Zai looked at the tanks, combat vehicles and military trucks that were brand new on the inside but tattered on the outside. His expression had changed from shock at the beginning, to understanding and excitement in the middle, to numbness now.

Well, he thought that his future boss would be great at healing, but he didn’t know that what he knew was not healing at all!

Cheng Zai suddenly became sad. He had a mother who mutated into an angel, and he had a headache on how to protect her. Now that there is another such an awesome boss, will he have a myocardial infarction due to excessive worry in the future? But if he really has a heart attack, with the boss here, he should be able to save him, right

Thinking of this, Cheng Zai was instantly full of hope and endless optimism for the future.

While Cheng Zai was thinking wildly, someone came to ask them to have dinner, but Xiao Mo said he wanted to repair the car but didn't go.

Soon Major General Zhang came to visit personally carrying food. He had no hope of repairing the vehicle, but he could understand and was deeply grateful for Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong's kindness.

Xiao Mo didn't tell him the details, he just said that Xiu Xiu would take a look and planned to surprise him tomorrow.

Zhang Hua originally wanted to check on the progress of repairing the car, but he was afraid that Xiao Mo and the others would really take this matter seriously and embarrass them, so he left a considerable dinner and chatted for a while before leaving.

Lei Bing was responsible for the security of the entire temporary base and did not come.

Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang came over after dinner. This man seemed to be angry at the base and dragged Cheng Zai to talk for a long time.

Cheng Zai went to see Xue Lihong again, plus Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang. The three of them got together and discussed something unknown. Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang finally left with a smile on his face.

At 9:30 in the evening, under Xue Lihong's forcible stop, Xiao Mo had to announce that the repair work was suspended. In fact, he had reached the extreme.

Cheng Zai counted the vehicles that Xiao Mo had repaired, including four tanks, three armed tanks, and eight military trucks.

There is such a number because he, Brother Xiao, said that tanks and combat vehicles are relatively complex in composition, and it will take time to repair them all, while trucks are technically the simplest.

This number is not much, but if you are just collecting supplies from a small town, there is no problem in killing one of them to reject them. It just so happened that Major General Zhang Hua's material reserves were mostly ammunition, but what he lacked were tanks that fired ammunition.

Xiao Mo absorbed an energy crystal on the spot and stood up with Xiao Hong's help: "Fortunately, we have enough energy crystals, otherwise we may not be able to repair so many vehicles this time."

Earlier, they were awarded a hundred secondary energy crystals for recycling the breeder Ni Wei, and were temporarily in the rich stage.

However, he only repaired fifteen vehicles, and he consumed three energy crystals. If calculated in terms of gains and losses, he definitely suffered a huge loss.

Xue Lihong doesn't have the same dedication as Xiao Mo, "Fifteen cars, half of Zhang Hua's ammunition, do you think he will agree? I think he will."

"Hey! Major General Zhang is in a difficult situation..."

"With these chariots, it's enough for him to get out of trouble."

"Half ammunition is still too much." Xiao Mo disagreed.

Cheng Zai couldn't say anything, so he could only listen silently.

Xue Lihong thought about it for two seconds, "Then he will need one-third of the ammunition and another one-third of the food reserves."

Xiao Mo and Cheng Zai: Isn’t this more excessive

However, both of them were cowards and did not dare to compete for profits for outsiders and Comrade Xiaohong, who was obviously not in a happy mood. They could only think of subsidizing Major General Zhang in other places.

When Xiao Mo and the others returned, the temporary base was already quiet.

Most survivors slept in military tents, while most soldiers slept in the open air wrapped in sleeping bags.

Xiao Mo went to the medical car first. Until now, he had not visited the three members of Lao Wu's family. One was to give the three of them time to digest, and the other was because he was afraid of Lao Wu's embarrassment.

Before Lao Wu woke up, Yuan Yuan held her forehead and stayed by Lao Wu's side, her face slowly showing signs of fatigue and relief.

Seeing Xiao Mo come in, Yuan Yuan's face immediately showed a complex expression of surprise and gratitude. She wanted to stand up, but sat back down because of numbness in her legs.

"Xiao Xiao! Is it you... Thank you! Thank you!" Yuan Yuan couldn't help crying.

"Shh." Xiao Mo knelt down in front of Yuan Yuan, "Sister-in-law, don't say anything. You have been in the car with Xiao Yuan for the past two days. If anyone asks you, just say that Lao Wu is gone. Do you understand? "

Yuan Yuan nodded desperately, "I understand! Old Wu is dead and has given his life back to his mother. The one sleeping here now... ugh!"

"Don't forget to warn Xiaoyuan, children are easily deceived."

"I know, I will tell him well. But... that child is so irritated, and now he ignores me when I talk to him." Yuan Yuan's face showed concern for her son again.

Xiao Mo comforted her a few more words and got out of the car.

Outside the car, Lin Xiaofei, Wu Xiaoyuan and health soldier Li Wei sat together. They were the few people who had not slept except for vigil. These people are either full of uneasiness about the future, or they are too worried to sleep.

Lin Xiaofei was dozing off, but he kept holding on in order to take care of Wu Xiaoyuan.

Xiao Mo felt sorry for him and wanted to hug him, but Xue Lihong picked up the child first and stuffed it into Cheng Zai's arms.

Cheng Zai hugged the child honestly.

Lin Xiaofei saw that it was Xiao Mo, and heard him praise him for completing today's task well. Then he closed his eyes with satisfaction, and soon began to snore.

During this period, Wu Xiaoyuan didn't even raise his head. He didn't seem to realize that someone was coming to see them, nor that his friend had left.

Xiao Mo wanted to touch Xiao Yuan's head, but he dodged him.

Xue Lihong grabbed Xiao Mo's hand.

Xiao Mo didn't know what he meant, so he let him hold him, walked around Li Wei, and asked quietly: "How is the situation? This child...?"

Li Wei glanced at Wu Xiaoyuan and lowered his voice: "It's okay, but this child has been hit hard. Until now, he hasn't even said a word, and he refuses to get close to his father. He even ignored his mother calling him. .”

Xiao Mo didn't understand child psychology, so he could only apologize to Li Wei: "Please help me keep an eye on that child... I don't know if he realized that he killed a person, but he must have heard those comments. , and later I saw his father committing suicide with my own eyes, and I was afraid that he would get into trouble. His mother might not care about him now, so please help remind her. Thank you!"

"Thank you for what? It's a small thing. The mother has been coaxing her children before, but sometimes it's okay if the children don't coax her. The more she coaxes her, the worse it gets. You think they don't understand anything, but their ideas are different from adults."

Xiao Mo chatted with Li Wei for a few more words to see if it was getting late, "You guys should go back and rest early. If Xiaoyuan's condition continues to be bad, tell me whether it would be better to separate him from his parents for a while. .”

"Okay, I think it's better to separate for a while. The child is not calm yet."

Xiao Mo felt that Xue Lihong had an objection and squeezed his hand back. As the saying goes, save people until the end. If Lao Wu's family has nothing to do with him, he can just let go after saving the people. But Lao Wu and his family have known each other for so many years, and everyone has a good relationship with each other. At this time, it is better to let go of each other. Just ignore it from the beginning. Xiao Yuan has been calling him uncle for several years. How could he turn a blind eye to the child's problems

Xiao Mo wanted to take Wu Xiaoyuan back to the base car to rest, but Li Wei said that he and the child had finally established a little bit of trust, and wanted to try again to see if he could pull the child out of the corner.

Xiao Mo felt that Li Wei's professional knowledge was more reliable than his, and Wu Xiaoyuan seemed to be closer to Li Wei at this time, so he kept the child by default.

Go back to the base car and open the door.

Cheng Zai carried the child up. It was the first time for him to enter the interior of the car. When he entered, he bent down because he was afraid there was not enough space inside.

result… !

"You turned it into a RV?" Cheng Zai thought this was good, but as he looked around the inside of the car, he always felt that something was wrong.

Look up and see that the roof is so high. Brother Xue still has dozens of centimeters of space when he stands upright.

Xiao Mo touched his nose and motioned for Cheng Zai to follow him.

After passing through the not-narrow passage, at least Cheng Zai felt that he was not cramped at all even with a child in his arms, and arrived in front of two doors.

Xiao Mo pointed to the left, "This is the warehouse. All our supplies are stored here."

Pointing to the right again, "This is our living room. Go in and find the one you like."

Cheng Zai didn't understand, and said politely: "No, Brother Xiao, you and Brother Xue live in the back, and I can make do in the living room in front. I think the sofa bed is quite thick, and sleeping on it is much more comfortable than the tent outside."

Xiao Mo didn't know how to explain to him, so he had to push the door on his right and said, "Go in if you are told. There are enough rooms."

Cheng Zai subconsciously calculated the internal space of the vehicle based on the size of the vehicle he saw. There was already a warehouse separated at the rear, so how many rooms could there be

Seeing that he wasn't moving, Xiao Mo passed by him and walked in directly.

The sensor light inside came on.

Cheng Zai suddenly opened his mouth and stared blankly at the door.

Xue Lihong pushed him gently from behind and said, "Don't block the way. Go in and choose a room."

Cheng Zai numbly carried Xiao Fei into the spacious passage.

There are many doors on both sides of the passage, which looks like a hotel housing corridor, except that the door material does not look like wood.

Xiao Mo, who was walking at the front, stopped and pointed to the end with a subtle expression, "Our room is at the end. You can choose any other room. Once you are sure, enter your fingerprints. From now on, only you can go in."

Xue Lihong opened a door casually.

Cheng Zai turned his head and looked at the door subconsciously.

This guy was stunned for ten seconds.

Xue Lihong was getting a little impatient waiting.

"Haha, I must not wake up yet, or I must have fallen asleep." Cheng Zai murmured to himself. If he hadn't been holding the child, he really wanted to pat his face.

Xue Lihong pushed Cheng Zai into the room with a little force, then took Lin Xiaofei out of his arms, carried him to the bed, took off his shoes, socks, clothes and pants and stuffed them into the quilt.

"Xiao Fei will sleep with you tonight temporarily, so that he won't find anyone to be afraid of when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Tomorrow, either you will choose the room again, or he will choose again."

Cheng Zai suddenly let out a cry of pain and twisted his thigh heavily.

Xiao Mo stood at the door and felt pain for him listening to the voice, but he could understand Cheng Zai's mood, because when he first came in, his performance was not much better than Cheng Zai's.

Cheng Zai's eyes finally no longer looked like he was dreaming, and he began to wander around the room.

"Oh my god, such a big room, bigger than my room at home, with a toilet and bathroom? I'm dreaming! I must be dreaming!" Cheng Zai rushed to the edge of the room, opened the curtains and found There is another door, open it.

"Ouch! Balcony! It's actually a balcony!" It's just that there is nothing outside the fully enclosed balcony, which can only be used for him to put sundries and dry clothes.

Cheng Zai rushed back again, looking around the room.

In fact, there are very few facilities in the room, and the room looks very empty, but it is more terrifying because of the emptiness. This is the interior of a car!

Cheng Zai finally rushed to Xue Lihong with an expression begging for an explanation.

Xue Lihong slapped his face, "It's getting late. We'll talk about it later. Go to bed first!"
