Under the gloomy night, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi boarded the military truck sent from the shelter and drove slowly towards the interior.
The soldier driving the car was silent, but his companion next to him was a talkative one.
Probably because he felt that Li Baiyi looked kinder, so he started chatting in random directions.
"Old man, I heard that you escaped from N city. It's not easy. How old are you this year?"
Because we were chatting in random directions, the topic at the beginning was naturally a bit boring.
Hearing the other party's question, Li Baiyi was slightly startled and did not answer immediately.
His mind didn't seem to be fully awake yet, it was still chaotic, as if he was drunk.
After being stunned for a while, Xian Yuqi coughed and Li Baiyi finally came back to his senses.
"Oh, yes, we escaped from N City...my name is Li Baiyi, and his name is Xian Yuqi..."
Although Li Baiyi came back to his senses to answer the question, Li Baiyi's answer was still somewhat incorrect.
However, the soldier on the co-pilot didn't pay attention to these details. After hearing the answer, he added thoughtfully.
"Mondays and Saturdays...well, this name is so unique..."
"Uh... I mean, little brother, what are the steps to check..."
The anger on Xian Yuqi's face has completely disappeared. Compared to Li Baiyi's chaos, his mind is obviously much clearer.
Seeing that he could get information now, he put forward the one thing he wanted to know most.
"The steps for the inspection... are just to check whether there are any external injuries on your body. If there are bites or scratches from zombies, you cannot immediately place them in the survivors' dormitory. You need to observe them in the medical room for a few days to make sure there are no problems. Let it out again."
"After all, you also know that if a large-scale infection breaks out inside the shelter, the losses will be very serious."
"Understand, understand..."
Hearing what the other party said, Xian Yuqi finally let go of the stone in his heart and nodded repeatedly to express his understanding.
As long as Li Baiyi is not expelled from the Siming Mountain Refuge, even if he is infected with the secondary virus, he will only be confined to the medical room at best.
As a healthy person, Xian Yuqi was still able to look for Lu Yu in the shelter.
As long as Lu Yu is found, Li Baiyi's virus will have a chance to be cured, and the next generation of Zongheng's descendants can also be found.
Seeing that Xian Yuqi had no intention of changing the topic, the soldier in the co-pilot put a smile on his face and asked again enthusiastically.
"Hey, why did you come here so late at night? How was it along the way? You shouldn't have encountered any danger, right?"
"Oh, it's just a coincidence. We just wanted to get to the shelter quickly, but we encountered some minor problems on the way, but it wasn't a big deal. They were all solved..."
Xian Yuqi smiled, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.
It's strange to say that he was clearly a weird old man with a hot temper before, but after being touched by Wang Yu's words, his attitude became much more normal.
Even when faced with the soldiers' mostly nonsense questions, he answered patiently.
After hearing Xian Yuqi's answer, the questioning soldier suddenly became interested.
Being stationed in the shelter for a long time made him know very little about the situation in the outside world. Now that the chat box has been opened, he will naturally not let go of this excellent opportunity.
"Oh? What happened? Is it a group of corpses?"
"Ah, it's not a group of corpses, it's a monster. Well, yes, it's a monster..." Xian Yuqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said.
"Monster? Can you tell me more about it?"
The soldier in the passenger seat's eyes brightened even more, and he asked eagerly, almost having his head in the back seat.
Xian Yuqi seemed to feel the soldier's desire, and the corners of his eyes twitched. After thinking for a moment, he still used one sentence to explain it away.
"Um...it was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see clearly..."
"Is that so? That's right. After all, it's at night, and there are no street lights on the national highway..."
There was obvious disappointment on the soldier's face, but he still muttered.
The journey back to the shelter is neither short nor long.
After these few exchanges, the military vehicle passed two sentries and successfully entered the shelter.
As the soldiers said before, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi were not forcibly controlled, but were only taken to the medical room for necessary physical examinations.
The items they carried were also inspected, but were not confiscated or controlled.
The knives and giant swords that were controlled in the era of order have now become life-saving tools.
Naturally, the military would not be stupid enough to control the weapons carried by these foreign survivors. As long as they did not carry high-explosive items that threatened the safety of the shelter, their attitude was that it did not matter.
For survivors, knives and firearms may still be life-saving weapons, but for the military who know better, strengthened humans are the foundation for continuation.
Only with a large number of enhancers and ability users in the shelter can we have the capital to survive in this apocalyptic world.
"Old man, will you live a long life this year?"
Sister Xu, who was in charge of the examination, pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked Xian Yuqi with a smile on her face.
Xianyu Qi didn't even think about it, and directly replied "Qi Qi".
If he reported his true age, let’s not say whether the female doctor opposite would believe him.
Even if you believe it, it still takes a lot of words to explain.
It would be better to just make up an age that matches your appearance and just get over it.
"Seventy-seven? Well, old man, your body is really strong. Looking at your appearance, I thought you were just in your early sixties..."
Sister Xu's eyes were full of surprise, she covered her mouth and smiled.
"hehe……"
Xianyu Qi said nothing more and ended the conversation with a friendly chuckle.
Although Li Baiyi was infected with the secondary virus, it was not detected.
The doctors checked his body and found no traces of zombie bites or scratches, and then let him go.
Because both of them are relatively old, and their own physiques are not strengthened.
Therefore, the military did not send them an invitation to join the army.
After leaving the treatment room, the two were arranged to Vault 6, where they lived with other ordinary survivors.
Since it was almost late at night, not many people knew about Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi's joining.
A night of silence.
When the sun shines on the earth again, it is already the next morning.
The survivors living in Vault 6 walked out one after another, holding their own cutlery in their hands, and slowly walked towards the canteen.
The canteen of the Siming Mountain Shelter will be open twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Although the food distributed is in fixed quotas, most survivors still feel that if they can go to the cafeteria earlier and wait, they can get slightly more food than others.
Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi were naturally among the crowd, but they did not have food containers in their hands, which made them look a little out of tune with the crowd around them.
Survivors kept casting curious glances at them, like a silent inquiry.
But probably because of the different auras of the two old men, no one dared to come forward and talk to them.
For these survivors, the peace of the Siming Mountain shelter was hard-won.
Curiosity leads to trouble, and they don't want to cause trouble.
But there are always exceptions among the crowd.
"Both brothers, they look very familiar to each other. They arrived at the shelter at midnight last night..."
A burst of vague-sounding questions came from behind Li Baiyi. The two old men looked back and found an old man with a bandage hanging from his right arm.
His head and cheeks were wrapped in a large amount of gauze, and his eyes and nose were bruised and swollen.
When he spoke, most of his exposed teeth were incomplete.
It was as if he had been beaten violently not long ago, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Uh...yes, the two of us just arrived at the shelter last night."
Although Li Baiyi's eyes were surprised and curious, a friendly smile appeared on his face in time.
"No wonder, none of you have any utensils for serving rice. I also have a rice bowl here that has just been washed. If you don't mind, you can use it..."
Although the old man with his head covered with bandages looked miserable, he had a very good character. When he saw that Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi were empty-handed, he did not hesitate and immediately gave away one of his rice bowls.
"This rice bowl..."
Xian Yuqi looked at the rice bowl handed over by the old man and subconsciously reached out to take it, but there was still confusion in his eyes, obviously he didn't understand the function of this thing.
"Of course this rice bowl is used to hold food. Food is distributed twice a day in the Siming Mountain Shelter. Both are rationed. It is said that the labor exchange system will be implemented in the next two days. I don't know how the specific implementation will be..."
The old man with his head covered in bandages explained patiently.
However, due to missing teeth and air leakage, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi did not understand clearly what the old man described at the first time. After repeated questioning several times, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"That's it. Thank you very much, brother, for your answer."
Li Baiyi cupped his hands towards the old man and expressed his gratitude to him.
Although based on his age, he can already be the other person's grandfather, but Li Baiyi doesn't care about these small details.
Now he only has one thought in his mind, and that is to find Lu Yu and then solve the virus problem on his body.
Other less important things can be moved aside.
Because there were so many survivors, the three of them did not separate immediately and walked forward together for a short distance.
Everyone wanted to get the supplies as soon as possible, so it was inevitable to be a little anxious on the way.
The old man with a bandage on his head was already weak, and he was unable to compete with the survivors in terms of strength.
During the pushing and pushing, I almost fell to the ground several times.
In the end, Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi came to support him, and they stabilized his vacillating steps.
"Brother, your physical condition is very bad. What happened?"
Xian Yuqi frowned and asked...
