Tan Yue suddenly lost all drowsiness.
Xiao Miao complained: "This kid followed you secretly after you left, and he couldn't be locked up. We thought he was with you, didn't we?"
Tan Yue shook his head solemnly.
So after the ban was lifted and the cold wave subsided, everyone got off the boat again and looked for the whereabouts of the wolf cub with a look of despair on their faces.
After all, things happen to people here, even if it's just a child, they can't ignore it.
Tan Yue followed her intuition to search. She sat on Qin Heng's dragon's back and flew straight to the cave with the wolf mother's bones. She had a feeling that the wolf cub was a child with "roots" in the end. Wherever the roots were, he would return.
Finally, Tan Yue and Qin Heng found the dead wolf cub behind the mother wolf's skeleton.
The wolf cub fell to the ground, its life or death unknown. The young wolf was tightly wrapped in clothes that were not thick and even somewhat tattered. Its skin was bruised and it had obviously been dead for a while.
Tan Yue didn't understand.
What a good child, he was still alive and kicking under her eyes two days ago. There will be hope when the cold wave passes, and he can leave with them by then!
Leave this place with no future!
She doesn't understand!
Tan Yue walked quickly to the wolf cub, knelt down, and sniffed the wolf cub's breath as if he didn't believe anything -
Lifeless.
On the contrary, the fragile wolf cub in his arms had experienced such a severe cold wave and was still alive and well, with bright eyes and a fleshy belly. It lived well under the protection of the boy wolf cub.
Tan Yue squatted on the spot and didn't move. Now she is like a confused person who saw hope but pushed it into the abyss with her own hands. It was she who failed to take good care of the child and let him run around——
"Tan Yue." Qin Heng put a hand on her shoulder.
Tan Yue looked back with tears in her eyes. A tall figure appeared in her blurred vision. There was only a vague outline, but she felt that at least there was someone standing beside her and accompanying her, which made her feel extremely... Peace of mind.
"Wolf cubs have always been prone to self-destruction. I don't blame you."
Qin Heng comforted: "All the islanders the wolf cub knew have turned into the living dead, or died from the mouths of the living dead. Even the wolf mother and her children who grew up with him sacrificed to protect him. Such a child , psychological problems are very serious to begin with.”
It is comfort and it is also a statement of facts.
Tan Yue was silent for a long time.
This may be the first time she has faced separation between life and death since the end of the world, and such separations between life and death will only become more frequent in the future.
"Let's go." She squatted in place for more than twenty minutes, stood up, and stamped her sore and numb soles.
"Won't you bury him?"
"No," Tan Yue said, "Let him leave his bones in this world like Mother Wolf. I believe this is what he wants."
When we returned to the ship, it was already noon on the ninth day, and there were only three weeks left to rescue Qin Heng.
Noah City was very close to the Ghost Island. The ship left the Ghost Island smoothly. On the afternoon of the tenth day, everyone arrived at Noah City.
This is a huge steel jungle.
Noah City has a strong sense of science fiction. The entire city is floating on the sea, but the ground is very stable, and you can hardly feel the turbulence of the sea. This maritime city is circular in shape. At the center of the circle, Noah's Square, stands the tallest building in the city.
The square surrounds the Noah Building in the center. Four passages extend along the square, and buildings second only to the Noah Building are erected on the edges. These four branches are the Research Department, the Command Department, the Military Department, and the Knights Square; and the residential areas in the city are scattered in the fan-shaped position in the middle of the four branch channels.
Noah City has the most advanced technology on earth, and at the same time, it is also a city dominated by mercenaries. The mercenaries in Noah City are called "Doomsday Knights". They perform the most dangerous tasks in the world and are at the forefront of all mankind. Before these people were absorbed into Noah City, they were all the most powerful people on the land, and their courage and strategy were both indispensable.
Tan Yue was shocked when he saw the city from a distance on the ship. When he got closer and walked among it, it was a different feeling. The atmosphere here is solemn, disciplined and orderly, which is very shocking to people.
Taking the elevator of the Noah Building to the command room, they were greeted by a man with brown hair and blue eyes, European and American appearance, who spoke fluent Mandarin: "Welcome, brave men from City S."
Tan Yue and others briefly shook hands with him, and the man introduced himself: "My name is Kaos, the head of the Noah City Central Command. You arrived five days later than expected. I heard that you went Ghost Island, huh?”
Tan Yue subconsciously thought of the zombie virus reagents that escaped from Noah City and brought disaster to Ghost Island.
She said: "Ghost Island seems to have some unpleasant connections with Noah City, doesn't it?"
Kaos showed a wry smile and admitted: "That was indeed Noah City's mistake. The zombie virus was a by-product of one of our experiments. Originally, we were going to secretly bring it back to the land and keep it under strict custody. Unexpectedly, we arrived at the Ghost Island on the way. .According to our investigation, the team member who broke the reagent at the time had serious anti-social tendencies. We were not aware of this and it was our mistake."
Tan Yue sighed: "You destroyed an entire village."
She couldn't help but be angry.
How can the life of a village be wiped out?
"Let's talk about mutant creatures," she said.
Kaos proposed to see Tan Yue's ability, but she refused. Rather than saying he is an excellent leader, Kaos feels more like a shrewd businessman to Tan Yue.
He said: "There are so many magical creatures, let us study at least one."
The conversation between Tan Yue and Kaos was a complete exchange of interests. Noah City is an ocean city that exists independently from any country. Even though both of them are working hard for a community with a shared future for mankind, the interests of each party must be obtained. ensure.
Tan Yue discussed and said, "I'll give you the right to research Ran Yiyu and Shatang Guo, and you can help us locate the mutant creatures."
Kaos said happily: "Deal."
The two parties reached an agreement quickly, and Tan Yue delivered the goods. Kaos gave the technical department an order to locate a mutant creature with powerful abilities that could make people sleepy and close to brain death.
"This kind of creature is different from other ordinary hybrid mutant creatures. Its genetic composition is as integrated as if it were made in nature. It is a rare and perfect creation in the world, just like this species should have existed in the world."
Tan Yue explained while considering it.
The animals in Shan Hai Jing are certainly rare and perfect creatures in the world.
