Three nights ago, everyone just came back. Zheng Suo met Wei Yuan alone because the inferences and "guesses" Wei Yuan mentioned on the phone had kept Zheng Suo awake at night. He heard that several people had returned safely. Zheng Suo cheered up and immediately called Wei Yuan over, hoping to tell him that it was all just a misunderstanding.
But unfortunately, it backfired.
After listening to Wei Yuan's report, Zheng Suo's heart sank.
"If you let those outside know that the eroded people not only did not disappear, but also changed into a more terrifying existence, do you know what will happen?"
Wei Yuan looked at Zheng Suo and could understand how anxious he was to deal with it.
What will happen will make the situation that we have worked so hard to maintain come to naught, and the living base that we have barely maintained will fall into a state of irreversibility.
No one knows what a human being who loses his mind will do.
I really didn’t expect that what Wei Yuan brought back was the worst of bad news. Everything turned out to be true.
"Zheng Suo, have you heard of God's Equation?" Wei Yuan's eyes were meaningful.
Zheng Suo looked confused: "What equation?"
Wei Yuan said slowly after a moment: "The library has a basement that was converted from a former air-raid shelter. We have some equations engraved on a wall there..."
Zheng Suo's reaction looked extremely shocked, and it was a genuine reaction. He waited for Wei Yuan to finish speaking and immediately asked: "What about the equation, have you copied it down?" This is a historic discovery.
Wei Yuan shook his head. How could it be possible to copy it under the circumstances at that time? Besides, "it was already buried underground by rocks."
Zheng Suo looked stuck, and then he was seen pacing back and forth in the office, looking like he had a headache and his hair was about to be burned bald.
"Are your team members sure they are tight-lipped?"
After thinking about it, this matter is a bit too important, and it is not appropriate to publicize it at this stage.
Wei Yuan paused, "They won't talk nonsense. As those who have experienced it, they know the seriousness of the matter."
Zheng Suo showed a happy expression, but soon he said again: "Where is that girl...the survivor, her name is Jiang or something." Zheng Suo coughed twice as he spoke.
After all, this Jiang Shan is not one of his own, and she is a super hot potato. Zheng Suo accepted her firstly to give Wei Yuan face, and secondly because Wei Yuan promised that Jiang Shan was valuable, and maybe they would be the one to break the situation one day. The essential.
Anyway, things are already so bad, so why not take a gamble.
"Jiang Shan won't say anything." Wei Yuan looked at Zheng Suo, "I will vouch for her."
Jiang Shan's character is destined to be too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
Zheng Suo was speechless. He felt uneasy now. The impact of this incident was too great and he would not be able to understand it for a while. Don't even know how to deal with it.
"I will find a way to contact the minister tomorrow." Zheng Suo said.
Zheng Suo's authority is also limited, and he can only report many things up one level at a time.

Jiang Shan ate, drank and lived in the temporary base for several days, and slowly began to understand something about this living base. It can only be said that the top management of Beijing and Hong Kong have done their best to ensure the basic life of the vast majority of people, and the elusive Beijing and Hong Kong guards will "drop" more people into this living base every day.
Those faces were either numb, fearful, or lost. In the first two days, there were almost all kinds of heart-wrenching cries. After a few days, everyone turned into machines on the assembly line, or rather Integrated.
It is said that rescue manpower is currently in short supply, and many people who have not yet fallen into despair have chosen to join the rescue team in exchange for supplies. However, due to the interruption of communication, everyone is even more panicked and has no confidence in what the world "outside" is like.
After all, if everything was still normal in the outside world, more rescuers would have appeared on their own initiative. There were also people who were unwilling to give up and drove off the highway. As a result, most people never came back. Even now, there are no roads leading to the outside world. On the highway intersection, there are also abandoned cars that are riddled with holes and eroded.
Many people are afraid. After all, it is better to die than to live. They would rather numbly follow the arrangements and live day after day.
Zhao Ying got Jiang Shan a thick set of science fiction from somewhere. Over the next few days, Jiang Shan read it so fascinated that he didn't even want to leave the room. It mentioned a dark forest law, and she felt that they were probably in this forest now.
There is no rescue outside, there is still only deeper darkness.
It is ironic to say that now that electronic products have failed and the Internet has failed, old paper books and printing have once again become important tools for everyone's spiritual investment. In the trading market, some people have begun to exchange for gold. After all, gold cannot be released. The fear in my heart, but I can find a kind of comfort by immersing myself in the world of stories.
"Where's Ashan?"
"Inside the house."
Zhang Zheng said: "Is this girl crazy?"
Zhao Ying said: "Didn't you play games the same way before?"
Zhang Zheng: "...You are completely attracted to that girl now, right?"
Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows, picked up a piece of bread on the table, and walked briskly towards Jiang Shan's room. There are also people delivering meals, no wonder I don’t want to go out anymore.
"Gao Wenwu actually wanted to join the Beijing-Hong Kong Guards, but he was left behind by the director."
During the critical period, all companies are competing for talents, especially those who are capable of literary and military skills, which are even more scarce.
Gao Wenwu didn't want to join the Beijing-Hong Kong Guard for the benefits or high salary, he just wanted to help more people. Having been a military doctor, he had a high level of consciousness.
"So you are also participating in the rescue mission during this time." Jiang Shan chewed the bread.
Zhao Ying said: "Yes, people will go crazy if they stay in the base all day. Now several of our psychiatrists are dying themselves."
The so-called participation in action is actually to feel that you are still alive.
Mental death brings greater despair than physical death.
"Actually, it's because." Zhao Ying hesitated, "Dr. Wei brought us all together before to investigate the cave hotel. No one had any hope for that mission, but we came back and brought you back."
This made him famous, but he didn't expect that this temporary team of four would be more powerful than the professional guards.
So originally they could be disbanded after completing their mission, but they have been retained until now.
Now back from the library, Wei Yuan had a secret conversation with Zheng Suo all night and had completely convinced Zheng Suo.
"Formal equipment and materials should be distributed to us soon." Zhao Ying said mysteriously.
Usually, the more dangerous the rescue mission, the higher the equipment specifications required. There is a high probability that there will be no more shabby grass-stage teams like theirs in the future.
I didn’t catch up with the update yesterday, but there’s still another chapter today.
