Hao Jian's father, Hao Kan, and mother, Chen Xiuzhu, were high school classmates. Hao Kan was tall, versatile, and as handsome as his name suggests. He was the school grass in the popular "school flower and school grass culture" at that time.
And although Chen Xiuzhu's background and appearance are average, but her family education is very good, and she is also a famous talented girl.
Just like the beginning of a very clichéd story, the two of them made eye contact. At that age, they were in the spring when their hearts were sprouting, and they lacked correct sex-education guidance, so when they were about to take the college entrance examination, they played their lives.
There was no mention of abortion at that time, and the two families felt ashamed, so they got married in a hurry. But after the new marriage law came out, the legal age for marriage was changed, and neither of them could get a certificate, so they could only invite relatives and friends to have a drink at a banquet.
The college entrance examination was soon after marriage. Chen Xiuzhu's mental state was not very good because of her pregnancy. In addition to physical reasons, she did not perform well in the examination. Originally, he could go to Nanfangcheng University, but in the end he could only choose a school in the city, while Hao Kan was admitted to the Geology College of Ocean University.
In the College of Geology, Hao Kan joined the mountaineering club, and he has been fascinated by mountaineering ever since. Every holiday, he would go climbing with members of the mountaineering club, from the gentler peaks to the steeper ones full of dangers and challenges.
He has summited Mount Everest, which is more than 6,100 meters high, and he has also successfully summited Mount Everest, so he has become famous. Finally, I challenged the highest peak in North America, Mount McKinley, and the highest peak in South America, Mount Aconcagua…
Ever since Hao Jian could remember, when people around her talked about her father, they gave her a thumbs up. She could even see him on TV and newspapers. He was either the leader of the team who climbed to a famous peak, or he was the leader of the group. The commander-in-chief of a certain mountaineering team.
Every time he went home, he would bring many medals and models of mountain peaks to Hao Jian. He also told her the mountaineering experience as a story, which made her nervous and excited.
However, because he was often away from home, and he didn't even give much home for a year, the burden of the family was on Chen Xiuzhu. She didn't complain. Seeing her husband's high spirits when he told his daughter about his experience, and the admiration his daughter showed when listening to his experience, she felt that no matter how hard or tired it was, it was worth it.
Later, Hao Kan's parents died of illness one after another. Hao Kan blamed Chen Xiuzhu for not taking good care of his parents. The two had their first quarrel since their marriage. Hao Kan packed up and left the house the next day.
At this time, Hao Jian was already in high school, and she already understood many things that she didn't understand when she was a child. Seeing her mother taking care of the family and being looked down upon by her grandparents, she felt very sad. At the same time, the image of her father, who was once respected in her mind, seemed to be gradually crumbling.
It seemed that she couldn't accept the collapse of her father's image. She wanted to do something to prove that her father was still perfect, so she took out the mountaineering bag that Hao Kan gave her, packed her things and went to Hao Kan.
She inherited Hao Kan's good skin, and was influenced by Chen Xiuzhu and liked to read books. No matter how she looked at her, she was a quiet literary girl. But when she inherited Hao Kan's skin, she also inherited his temperament, which is sometimes very stubborn, and even if she becomes stubborn, nine cows can't pull it back.
If it wasn't for Chen Xiuzhu's illness, she would have really gone to see Hao on Mount Everest.
Hao Kan left home to climb Mount Everest this time, but never came back.
In the past, Hao Kan usually took a long time to reply when he went out, so Chen Xiuzhu panicked after two months after he didn't hear from him.
She didn't believe that he would be in danger, so she inquired about Hao Kan's news. However, she didn't know much of Hao Kan's friends, and even less about his itinerary, they all said: "I know he is going to Mount Everest, But he has already climbed to the top, so my sister-in-law still thinks in a good place, she is really worried, why don't she go to the police!"
Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to call the police. However, the police thought that since it took a long time for him to come back every time he went out, it might not be necessary for him to climb another peak. Let her not worry and wait.
This wait is three years. Chen Xiuzhu has spent a lot of effort to find out about him. In addition to these years of hard work, her health is already poor, and now she is diagnosed with cancer.
Originally, in order to find Hao Kan, the family's financial situation was not very good, and she spent a lot of money on this disease. She saw that Hao Jian had dropped out of school and worked to earn money because of her illness. She felt ashamed and guilty. Later, she became more and more depressed. In the end, she did not want to drag Hao Jian down, so she committed suicide by leaving a suicide note.

"I'd rather my mother believe he died seven years ago, so she might give up and stop spending time and energy looking for him."
Lian Runing was silent, she heard that there were more than 300 corpses discovered on Mount Everest in the past 40 to 50 years, and many missing mountaineers disappeared. Although only missing, people know that they have very little hope of surviving.
It is very difficult to carry out search and rescue operations, and many people will even die in the process of search and rescue. Even if the remains are found, it is difficult to remove the remains, so many people will not spend this time and energy.
After Chen Xiuzhu's death, Hao Jian buried all the medals that Hao saw, the model of the mountain he gave, and his notepad in front of Chen Xiuzhu's tomb. Except for the mountaineering bag, all traces left by Hao Kan were erased by her, as if in her heart, this person would no longer exist.
"I'm sorry, I brought up your sadness." Lian Runing said guiltily.
Hao Jian laughed: "I said, one was missing for seven years and the other was dead for four years. No matter how painful it was at the beginning, it has been so long, and all the sadness has faded away, so this is not a sad thing. , I don’t mention it on weekdays, I just find it very boring.”
Lian Runing suddenly realized that Hao Jian is indeed not someone who can easily hurt the Spring and Autumn. Her experience has also created her strength and independence.
"I remember that you are from the School of Sociology and Anthropology, so what does anthropology study?" Lian Ruling asked curiously.
"I've only been studying for one semester, and I'm only studying basic theories such as Introduction to Anthropology, so I can't answer you. But it is said that even if I study for four years, I may not be able to answer what 'anthropology' is."
Literally, Lian Runing felt that Hao Jian was quite suitable for studying anthropology.

In the afternoon, Hao Jian and others went to train for a few more hours. When they returned, Peng Mao and Xin Ting had already packed their things and looked like they were going to leave tonight.
"What's wrong?" Lian Runing asked.
During the day, Hao Jian felt that since they had decided to go to Nanfang City, it would be irresponsible for their lives to have no self-defense skills, so she asked Yigao to find someone to teach them some fighting skills.
After teaching fighting skills, I taught them how to play slingshots. Guns are hard to find, but slingshots are easy to make.
Xin Ting didn't dare to approach them at all, and Peng Mao said: "Can we find a place to live in a nearby residential building? It's the third day here, and I haven't queued up to get water and take a bath."
When she said this, Lian Runing also felt that her body was sticky. She obviously took a bath last night, but unfortunately she trained under the scorching sun for a day today, and her clothes have never been dried. When it's dry, it will probably smell like sweat.
She looked at Hao Jian, Hao Jian said, "Hold on, I can't help it, this river is full of water for you to bathe."
They also did not have water to bathe, because they had already washed last night, and the water resources were already in short supply. They were embarrassed to take up too many resources, so they wiped their bodies and changed their clothes.
Hao Jian threw away the clothes that were too bad to wear, and bought a new one to wear. Now the mall has opened the function of purchasing daily necessities, and there are also clothing products on it. A T-shirt is only 5 points, which is cheaper than food.
Hao Jian even came up with the idea of being a walking businessman, but thinking that she is not very short of money, and that there are Lian Runing and others by her side, if she does it too clearly, she is afraid that the existence of the system will be exposed.
At night, An Minghui came to them with a map of the traffic network in Jiang City, and said, "The road conditions of these roads are not good. If you want to go to Nanfang City, you can choose these roads..."
The roads above are criss-crossed, and although most of them are paralyzed, there are still some roads that are passable. An Minghui let them understand this in advance, so that they could avoid detours and reduce risks.
The Jiangxin Island Refuge Base has helped Hao Jian and others so much. Before leaving, Hao Jian thought about it and decided to send something to the guards. Of course, what Hao Jian has, it seems that the guards will not be short of it, and if it is food, she can't give much.
In the end, she left a letter to Yi Gao, saying, "Wait until we're gone before opening it!"
Although Yigo was curious, he was not in a hurry.
The car that Hao Jian and the others drove when they came was still parked on it, because there were no living creatures, so they were not enough to be attacked by zombies. It's just that when the guards cleared the zombies, they seemed to accidentally hit the car window on the driver's side, and the glass shards shattered a car.
"...Let's start it soon!" Hao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
They left behind the escort who went out to carry out search and rescue work, and when they reached the intersection pointed by An Minghui, they parted ways with the escort.
After Yi Gao couldn't see Hao Jian and others in the rearview mirror, he remembered Hao Jian's letter to him, so he took it apart and looked at it before he officially started work.
Seeing this, he almost asked Kong Yingsheng, who was driving, to turn around and look for Hao Jian. Kong Yingsheng didn't know why he looked like this, and said, "Sir, we can't go there, what's written on it?"
Yi Gao turned on the wireless walkie-talkie to convey to An Minghui the news he got from Hao Jian: "Report to the commander-in-chief immediately, and ask him to contact his superiors to confirm whether the information is accurate! In addition, notify the shelter where Lei Mu and others are being held. , and then intensify the interrogation of 'blameless', make sure to let them reveal more information!"
An Minghui was also stunned a lot after hearing the content of the letter left by Hao Jian. Hao Jian's letter said that when she mixed into the conference center the day before yesterday, she had inadvertently overheard someone mentioning that there seems to be some research on the detection of zombie viruses. found.
Mosquitoes, etc., if the human body carries the zombie virus, then they will generally avoid the person and turn to suck the blood of the healthy human body.
If an arthropod is infected with a zombie virus, it will die.
Because the discovery has not yet developed a relevant virus detection tool, so no news has come out yet.
But if it was true, as Hao Jian said, from the "Wugui" side, they would have to pay attention to two questions. One is, has the "Wugui" force infiltrated such an important institution
Another question is, why can "no blame" pass on information faster than the official one
Therefore, Yigao needs to immediately go to verify the superior, and at the same time remind the research institution of the "no-blame" infiltration.
Moreover, Yi Gao vaguely felt that the reason why Hao Jian knew about this matter was not necessarily from "Wugui", after all, she knew that it was difficult for them to verify.
If she didn't hear it from "Wugui", where did she learn about it
Did she let him open the letter after they left because she was worried that they would question her
So what's her history
But no matter what, if this is proven to be true, then the measures for human beings to prevent zombie virus carriers can be improved a lot, and people will no longer have to be locked in isolation rooms for two or three days!
And this time progress, the next time may be able to develop a related antidote
So this discovery was encouraging and morale-boosting, and he was very grateful to Hao Jian for bringing them this hope.

Lian Runing and others, who didn't know that the top guards in Jiang City had aroused heated discussions because of a letter from Hao Jian, were also very curious about what Hao Jian wrote, Hao Jian said, "Thank you letter, if there is a pennant, Maybe I won't be so stingy with just one letter."
Lian Runing and others: No, you are still very stingy even if you give the pennant.
