The Nata Mountain Scientific Research Base is located in Huaibei Province, north of the Qinling Mountains. There is a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the base. The courtyard is made of green bricks and black tiles, with a simple style and looks quite old.
This is a shelter, established a year ago under the leadership of base officials, and has taken in many children who lost their parents during the war.
The shelter is also called "Stone Yard", named after Dr. Chen Xinyan, who has learned a lot.
It is said that Dean Chen took a very good meaning - hoping that children can develop a temper as strong as stone.
It is not a blessing for these children to grow up in the last days.
But compared to those who have died, they are extremely lucky.
And if you want to survive better in the apocalypse, strength and resilience are indispensable.
Lang Hua has always thought so.
Until one time, Chen Xinyan spilled the beans after she was drunk——
She said: She just felt that this base was full of idiots like rocks from top to bottom. When she came up with the name, she casually said it, and unexpectedly, a bunch of people nodded, and then the name was settled.
At that time, Lang Hua had just arrived at the Tashan Base after being ordered to do so. It was the first time he heard such a strange thing, and he actually stood there for a long time holding his glass of wine.
And the weird thing is not only things, but also people.
Including the beautiful academician who was drunk in front of him at that time.
The other party slapped the table and suddenly stood up, startling Lang Hua.
The drink in the glass sloshed around and almost spilled on the table.
Chen Xinyan pointed her finger at Lang Hua's nose, her fingertips only a few centimeters away from his nose.
"Are you right? You can believe this to be true. They are indeed a bunch of idiots. My judgment at the time was not wrong."
"Tell me," she asked Lang Hua in a loud voice, "am I right?"
The latter was afraid that she would become drunk, so he nodded hurriedly: "Ah, yes. Yes, you are right."
Second Lieutenant Lang Hua has hunted animals and killed people, and he can come and go on the battlefield with ease, but he has no experience in dealing with female madmen...
That day he looked at the other person and then at himself, and reflected for the first time - was it a wrong decision to agree to the group leader's coming to Nata Mountain?
The military order was like a mountain, and since Lang Hua agreed, he would naturally stay.
But who would have thought that his accidental reflection was the first time, but not the last.
…
The "Stone Asylum" is located in the northeast corner of the valley, across from the laboratory and the base logistics hospital.
Many of the children in the courtyard are orphans of soldiers in the regiment.
The children lost their mother in the disaster, and their father died in the subsequent battle. Anyone who hears this kind of experience will feel pity.
In the post-apocalyptic era, the 215th Regiment's combat missions are numerous and complex, and there are many cooperations between different teams. Most of their fathers had met and bumped into Lang Hua, and they were the Paoze brothers who had fought side by side.
So whenever Lang Hua had free time after recovering from his injury, he would come to the courtyard to play with the children for a while.
Another reason is that when seeing these children, Lang Hua will also think of himself in the Shashi Orphanage...
The blue-grey stone brick courtyard wall was already in front of him. Lang Hua gathered his mood, tried his best to put on a 100% smile, and walked in.
At noon, most children were taking a lunch break, and there was only one little boy playing in the sand in the yard.
He looked up and saw Lang Hua and was very surprised.
"Ah! It's Brother Hua Zi!"
The boy was about eight or nine years old. He had a tiger-like appearance and stood about as high as Lang Hua's chest.
"Xiaohu." Lang Hua was also very happy and greeted the other party with a smile.
While the two were talking, a little girl emerged from the courtyard.
She wore a navy blue dress with pleated skirt and lace trim. Her black hair was long and past her shoulders, tied back with a garland-like headband, making her look simple and neat.
The little girl was gentle and quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the little tiger who was covered in dust.
"Brother Huazi, are you here?" The girl's nickname is Xiangxiang, and her voice is as clear and sweet as a lark.
She is not tall, has a darker complexion, and a light blush on her face, making her look younger than her actual age.
"Yeah. I'm done and I'm here to see you."
Lang Hua's arrival is obviously more interesting than piles of sand. So Xiaohu dropped the digging toy, ran to Lang Hua, and walked around him.
"I saw Brother Hua Zi's first." Xiaohu rushed to say.
Xiangxiang smiled: "I didn't steal it from you."
It seemed that the boy was a little disappointed because he didn't see Lang Hua bringing delicious food. He pouted, as if he wanted to say something. Unexpectedly, at this time, Lang Hua took out a few pieces of maltose like a magic trick.
The candy has no packaging, is cylindrical in shape, has rough lines, and is about half a finger long.
Xiaohu got the treasure and cheered: "Long live Brother Huazi!"
"Wait a minute, don't wipe your hands first." Lang Hua smiled and grabbed the little tiger's mud paw, patted it and blew on it, and then returned his hand and the candy to him.
Xiangxiang was obviously more sensible. She interrupted Xiaohu's scream: "You are so rude. Brother Huazi works very hard every day."
"Oh, I'm not from Phuket Island." Xiaohu was eating candy in his mouth. The candy was very sticky, causing his speech to be slurred.
Huzi didn't know what he thought of. He swallowed the candy and suddenly said: "Brother Huazi only comes to see us at the Tashan base when he is injured. It would be fine if he had been injured..."
Lang Hua suddenly had a dark look on his face: "Don't be like this, I'll just come if I don't get hurt."
He slandered: "Children's words are unbridled." If it really comes true, my little body won’t be able to withstand it...
Although there is not much difference between the age of eleven and the age of eight or nine, Xiangxiang is undoubtedly the oldest in the "Stone Courtyard". Of course she is just a child, but she always unconsciously wants to take on the responsibility of disciplining her younger brothers and sisters.
Xiangxiang looked at Lang Hua and apologized: "Brother Hua Zi, it's okay. We also had delicious snacks when you weren't here."
"Delicious snacks?" When Lang Hua heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said warily, "Oh? Where do the snacks come from?"
The business of abducting children would probably not occur in a heavily defended base. But Lang Hua still kept an eye on it and secretly kept it in mind.
It is definitely impossible for Academician Zhang Cheng and the soldiers on duty at the base.
These gangsters have never been lucky enough to enjoy any delicious food. It's really a fantasy that they can bring "delicious snacks".
And Chen Xinyan is an extremely lazy person. She has always pursued "minimalism", and the meals she cooks... can almost be used as a quick-acting medicine for killing people.
The nurses under her are gentle and take good care of the children, but they are unlikely to leave the base and come into contact with outside food.
So, who could it be?
Lang Hua secretly hoped that no blind thieves would target these children.
Otherwise, he swore that he would definitely let these people taste the feeling of life being worse than death!
At this time, I heard Xiangxiang timidly say: "There is a beautiful sister. She has been here..."
Xiangxiang seemed to be angry with Lang Hua.
Because Lang Hua had told them long ago: Never accept things from strangers because of greed...
Although Xiangxiang looks petite, she is already 11 years old, which is not an age where she doesn’t understand anything.
She had occasionally overheard the conversations of the nurse sisters. During the conversation, Brother Hua Zi was a very powerful person.
What adults call "powerful" is mostly based on the standards on the battlefield.
That is...killing...
This kind of "power" is a kind of protection for one's own people, but it is much more terrifying for the enemy.
Xiangxiang couldn't help but regret at this moment - what if her beautiful sister was hurt by Hua Zi's brother because of her talk...
So she spoke in a low voice, biting her lip and added: "She...is very kind to us, not a bad person."
Xiaohu also said at the right time: "Yes, that sister is so beautiful, just like a fairy. Hehe, the fairy sister is good-looking, and the cake she brings is delicious."
"Little ghost head", Lang Hua smiled and pinched Xiaohu's cheek, "there is still a fairy. Have you ever seen a real fairy?"
Lang Hua's reaction was not as strong as expected, so Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaohu never liked others pinching his cheeks, so he pouted his lips and protested loudly: "Oh, let go. Haven't you never seen it real?"
"Isn't that true?" Lang Huashen thought it was true and nodded, "Where are the fairies? I think your kid is fascinated by the cake. You can recognize any ugly monster or goblin as a fairy."
He also added: "Little rascal. If a beautiful sister really comes, you won't hold on to me quickly and wait for me to come back. But it would be too unloyal."
The little girl had a serious character. She raised her head and said to Lang Hua, "Brother Huazi, it's true."
The little tiger man was so big that he winked and said, "Hey, brother Hua Zi. It's a pity that you didn't come that day."
Lang Hua couldn't help but believe in this attitude.
But he still lectured Xiaohu righteously: "How is that possible? I think the most beautiful girl in the base is our Xiangxiang. We boys can't look down on the other ugly ones. Are you right, Xiaohu?" "
Lang Hua touched the little girl's head and winked at the boy.
Xiaohu nodded hurriedly, showing a very agreeable and flattering look.
But he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.
Usually when Lang Hua does this, Xiao Xiangxiang will definitely be happy.
But she was clearly acting strange at the moment, rubbing her little hands together, feeling a little at a loss. On a darker complexion, a touch of blush gradually deepens.
shy? Not to this extent.
"Dong dong."
Behind the three of them, Qin Xiaowen walked out of the living room holding a three or four-year-old girl, and knocked on the door expressionlessly.
The little girl has round cheeks and looks chubby. At this moment, she was very quiet in Qin Xiaowen's arms, and the two of them looked very harmonious.
Lang Hua was startled, opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you here?"
But the other party seemed to laugh angrily: "What? Lieutenant Lang. The little girl can't come, or are you saying... I'm not welcome here?"
She deliberately prolonged her tone: "If you don't welcome me, then I have to leave~"
"If you leave, you won't come back again~" Qin Xiaowen was afraid that the three people in the yard would not react, so she slowly added, "I really want to leave!"
Before Lang Hua could react, Xiangxiang and Xiaohu rushed forward and hugged her thigh.
The little girl in Qin Xiaowen's arms also ignorantly stretched out her little hands and hugged Qin Xiaowen's neck tightly.
"Sister Qin, don't leave." Xiangxiang really couldn't bear to leave Qin Xiaowen.
Xiaohu's reaction was very watery.
He was seen chewing candy and mumbling incoherently: "Sister Dim Sum, please come visit us more often."
Lang Hua had reason to suspect that what Xiaohu missed was definitely just the delicious snacks brought by Qin Xiaowen.
In the blink of an eye, Lang Hua was already alone. He secretly complained in his heart and was very disdainful of such behavior of betraying someone in battle.
etc. Fairy sister, cakes and snacks... Qin Xiaowen?
Only then did Lang Hua seem to understand something.
He asked tentatively: "You are..."
"Yes," Qin Xiaowen said with a dark face, "that ugly monster and little goblin you are talking about is me."
