"A Zhao, we are your relatives and will not harm you." Shen Tang said earnestly, "Since you and Bai Zhi are in love, my aunt will not break up the two of you. We only collect eggs once a year, and it will not affect your own raising. child."
"She has already rejected you, and there is no point in telling me this. I will not act as a lobbyist." Zhang Tianzhao said with a serious face, "Also, she hates Wang Chengpeng and Zhang Tianlie. Just now she saw that I didn't have a bad temper. Mom, please never mention these two people in front of her in the future."
"Before I make you feel comfortable, I have to ensure your survival. Without stabilizers, what will you do?" Ms. Tao's eyes were like a knife, slicing towards Shen Tang, who was calm and composed.
"You will always find a way." Zhang Tianzhao's tone softened a little, "Mom, have your powers deteriorated?"
"Yes. This stimulation method relies too much on drugs." Ms. Tao sighed, showing her exhaustion, "The source of evolution has been lost for so many days, and your aunt didn't even say anything. How can I be so calm?"
"Even if A Peng can't find the lost piece, I can get the piece from Hai Huan's hand." Shen Tang smiled, "Don't worry, Hai Huan can't refuse the conditions I offered."
"Don't think about it, Haihuan will not agree to you." Zhang Tianzhao sneered, "She has the source of evolution in her hand. She can do whatever she wants. There is no need to trade with you."
"A Zhao. You have learned how to trick my uncle." Shen Tang looked at him kindly, "This is not your innate ability."
"It will happen if you fool me too much!" Zhang Tianzhao knocked on the table angrily, "Although you created us, you have no power to decide our fate. Do you think Wang Chengpeng is really obedient to you? Do you think you Those medicines you made have no side effects at all? You keep asking me and Bai Zhi to sacrifice our egos for the entire human race, have you ever thought about it? Your two most successful works use human beings as dry food! Wang Chengpeng and Zhang Tianlie cannibalized several people. year!”
"Apeng..." Shen Tang was stunned, "How could it be possible? There is nothing wrong with them. All their indicators are normal."
"Did you kill Ariel for this?" Ms. Tao's face turned blue. "Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is. Manual intervention seems to be very useful, but the potential negative effects accumulated are even more shocking. Shen Tang, your ideal failed when they ate the first person!" Zhang Tianzhao looked at Shen Tang fiercely, "Mom, go back to Area 5 and stay at home. It's not easy to improve your abilities."
"How come Bai Zhi is so powerful? We don't even have people half as good as her in our team. Is it because of their powerful abilities?" Ms. Tao asked.
Zhang Tianzhao said coldly: "I will not tell anyone outside the team about the people and things in the team, even if you are my mother."
"A Zhao, do you think that since we have looked for you today, your teammates will trust you as before?" Shen Tang stretched out his hand to warm himself by the fire, "It's getting dark. In troubled times, only blood ties are the strongest."
"You're reminding me that you actually have nothing to do with me, right?" Zhang Tianzhao snorted, "Auntie, didn't you leave it to Wang Chengpeng, the important matter of the reproduction of new human beings? He is already working very hard to sow the seeds. You His genes will definitely be spread throughout the world."
He stood up and opened the door curtain, pretending to see off guests, "I'll take you to the guest house."
"A Zhao, has District 1 brainwashed you? It's too much for you to do this to your uncle and aunt." Zhang Tianxu whispered.
"When I talk about relationships with you, you talk about responsibilities with me. When I talk about responsibilities with you, you come to talk about relationships with me again!" Zhang Tianzhao sneered, "Brother Tianxu, you go into politics."
"This kid is getting into trouble again, forget it. Let's go to the guest house first." Shen Tang sighed.
Zhang Tianzhao silently sent them to the guest house and found Xiao Qi's residence. Xiaoqi made a bonfire outside the tent, and they chatted while warming themselves. Seeing Zhang Tianzhao coming over, Gu Tianbai stood up and gave him his seat, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You must be very angry. My grandfather and I used to talk like this, and every time we ended up in a quarrel."
"It's quite annoying." Zhang Tianzhao took a deep breath, and Bai Zhi was close at hand. His breath was calm and peaceful, like warm water soaking into his tense nerves. He slowly relaxed and asked, "How is Yue Dongting now?"
"It's okay." Gu Tianbai looked toward the door, "I talked to him about the cooperation, and he said he would listen to you. You two can discuss it later. Xiaoqi and I will go get you some food." He and Xiao Qi walked very fast.
"I can make the decision on behalf of Yun, and it's fine for both of us. Bai Zhi, what do you think?" Zhang Tianzhao asked the largest shareholder.
"I am the biggest profiteer, I am neutral." Bai Zhi turned her face, her smooth cheeks had a faint red color. I don't know if it was reflected by the firelight, or because of her strong energy and blood, her red face was extremely delicate.
"Then it's settled. We'll move to the institute first tomorrow. Zhang Tianzhao, you and Bai Zhi work hard. You and Dongting Xiaoqi will go together tomorrow to send people to the place and then come back. We will coordinate the supplies and the life support system. You Bring it over." Hai Fengqiu directly took out the life-support system that had been gathered into a ball. Zhang Tianzhao patted the stone ball and put away his backpack without saying anything.
After dinner, Brother-in-law Chen and Sha Liu came to a meeting. Gu Tianbai introduced the situation of the Gu family base. Brother-in-law Chen was so overjoyed that he didn't even have a meeting and went directly to tell Haihual to pack his things. After learning about the situation, Sha Liu said: "Brother Xiao Hai has the final say. I have only one request. The first batch of relocations should be the family members of the institute and the family members of a few reliable people."
"Brother Shaliu! This is for sure. If I lose my sister-in-law, nephew and my father Xiaofei like last time, I won't live anymore." Haifengqiu thought for a while and said, "Ren Xiaonan came to me just now and said that he A batch of human-powered sleds have been made over there, so it won’t be difficult to take some of the family members away tomorrow.”
Xiaoqi confided in his teacher that Haifengqiu had a working and life-support system in his hands, and that the research institute could only carry out research work if it was moved to a confidential place. The researchers made a sensation and were very efficient. The action plan was drafted after the meeting here and manpower was being allocated. The research institute over there had already packed up the bags and even dismantled the tents. Hai Huanhuo and several senior scientists held up Hai Fengqiu's neck and asked to leave immediately.
The total number of plant and biological researchers in the institute is less than 300. Including the institute's guards and family members, the total number is less than 1,500. The elderly and children rode on sleds, pulled by the power mutants. Important things were carried in their pockets. Zhang Tianzhao and Yue Dongting Bai Zhi put away the bulky things in their backpacks. Everyone walked on empty-handed and walked very fast.
Zhang Tianzhao walked a little faster than the rest of the army and found a place to release all the buses that had been stored for two months. Xiaoqi pointed the way, and the bus drove for more than four hours, and successfully arrived outside the high wall of the resort at noon.
This resort is backed by a mountain and faces water. There is a watchtower more than 20 meters high on both sides of the entrance. On the east watchtower, the large gilt characters of Donghai Folk Resort shine in the sun. There was a shadow shaking in the window of the watchtower, and soon someone pushed out several mortars from the top of the building.
Xiao Qi got out of the car and wiped her face, and the tall iron door opened. Twenty buses filed in. The square behind the gate is very large. There are seven or eight ethnic minority buildings of various styles behind the square. The main building is a seven-story meander-shaped building with three-story annex buildings on both sides. It gives the impression of a crudely built scenic spot.
Xiaoqi left his family members with Yue Dongting to make arrangements, called Lao Jin, the resort manager who came to greet him, to introduce the situation to Yue Dongting, and then led the research institute and security forces up the mountain road on the right. One kilometer away, in the middle of the mountain, there is a cave attraction with a very vulgar name called Chaoyin Cave. There is a large fountain in the small square at the entrance of the cave. In the pool, there are more statues like aunts visiting aquatic products market than Guanyin baskets, and there are a bunch of statues. Piles of lively fish, shrimps, crabs and so on.
Before the end of the world, 11 out of 10 tourists who visited this place would scold the boss on Weibo for cheating money so badly. When the researchers got out of the car, they all admired the boss's sense of humor. One of the seniors who had the best relationship with Xiao Qi asked Xiao Qi: "Hao Qi, how was the business of your resort in the past?"
"In the first year after it was built, I was criticized by name. The fees were too expensive, the attractions were too fake, the service was too bad, and the food was terrible. Forget about the business, none of our family members will come to live here." Xiao Qi is very proud. , pointing to the image of the aunt buying groceries, said: "Last year, we rated the top ten tourist attractions in China, and this one ranked eighth."
The inside of the cave is more refined, even the statues are omitted. The walls are full of promotional pictures that are so pixelated that they make people go crazy. Half of them are Buddhist stories that no ghost can believe and the source cannot be found, and the other half are advertisements for some winery. There is a small facade set up by a wine jar against the wall, and a hard packaging box that has been opened casually has the slogan "Build your body and keep fit, one dollar a cup" written in a doggy shape.
Even a careless person like Hai Hualou could not hold back and praised: "Baizhi, your family is really a model representative of township enterprises."
"It's my first time here too." Bai Zhi smiled so hard, "Xiao Qi, who is in charge of this attraction?"
"After the infrastructure was completed, grandpa asked relatives to do it. I don't know who this scenic spot is. Anyway, those who happily collect money and leave are all on the blacklist that refuses to come and go." Xiao Qi led the way to the depths of the cave and got the key. Opening the door, He Haihual and Zhang Tianzhao and Bai Zhi went in first. The entrance to the base is very simple, there is no elevator, and the stairs go all the way down. Bai Zhi popped up the thunder ball lighting and found that there were three layers in total, and the area of the layer became larger as you went down. Xiao Qi asked Zhang Tianzhao to put the life support system in an empty room on the bottom floor. After Bai Zhi opened the lock, the life support system unfolded. Hai Coral pounced on it and shouted: "It really works, it really works." ?"
"It was possible before we dismantled it, but now it's up to you." Zhang Tianzhao asked Xiaoqi: "Your fifth sister and I are going to store supplies. How to get to the warehouse?"
"The rooms on the lower two floors are very big. Let's see where Sister Coral wants to put the warehouse." Xiao Qi didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
"The bottom floor. This will be the most important research laboratory in the future. Place it at the furthest place from here." Sea Coral stroked the transparent crystal back and forth, "How did it get so big? How many capable creatures are there? Only such large crystals can exist in the body.”
"Xiao Qi, can you supply power?" Bai Zhi saw the light tube above her head.
"There is power generation equipment, but we don't have much fuel, so use less. Let's wait until the work officially starts before powering on." Xiao Qi went to the other side of the crystal to touch the crystal and said, "I feel like the crystal of a plant. Look here, this texture looks very much like plant fiber."
The two of them got into work too quickly.
Zhang Tianzhao retreated to the door, "Let's put things down and ask Yue Dongting to make arrangements. I'm not good at these things. What are you thinking about?"
Bai Zhi came back to her senses, "Huh? I was thinking that the project here is not small. My grandfather built such a place, so he may not be able to hide it from others."
Zhang Tianzhao squinted at the top of his head and smiled, "It's an abandoned civil air defense project. It's an old thing from decades ago. There's no water seepage at all. The quality is really good."
Yue Dongting was very efficient. He quickly arranged the accommodation for his family members and came to the institute to take care of the researchers' property. After Zhang Tianzhao and Bai Zhi stored the materials in the warehouse, they went their separate ways. Zhang Tianzhao went on foot to survey the entire villa. Bai Zhi went to the villa manager's office to find the manager Lao Jin.
Lao Jin's office is on the third floor of the west watchtower. The window to the outside is very small. There is a machine gun and several boxes of grenades standing on the wall. Lao Jin saw Bai Zhi opening a file cabinet without being asked and taking out a large file box to show Miss Fifth.
"Lao Jin, didn't you show these to Yue Dongting when he came?" Bai Zhi opened the file box with a little gray on the cover.
"No, I have to let Fifth Girl take a look first." Lao Jin dragged a chair and sat down next to Bai Zhi, "He will be in charge here from now on?"
"He counts as one. Third brother will bring someone back in two days. He will tell you the specific situation. You have worked hard to guard the villa these two months. Is your family okay?" Bai Zhi looked at Lao Jin with a smile.
"My wife and children are all ready." Lao Jin mentioned his family with a smile on his face. "No one can come in when the door is closed. It's not hard. It's just that we have too few people. The county government comes to call us every few days. We opened the door to accommodate the survivors. There were too few of us, and I wanted to open the door to recruit some people, but I was afraid that they would be overwhelmed by the large number of people, so I never dared to let people go."
"How many people are there?" Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows in surprise. The convoy did not pass through the county when they arrived. She made two trips from City A to Shanghai and passed through several county towns, which were basically empty cities. Unexpectedly, there are organized survivors in my hometown county.
"I heard there are thousands." Lao Jin frowned, "Last time I came to call, they brought my nephew."
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry. We will also build a settlement outside the villa. It is necessary to recruit manpower. You are a local, and you will be responsible for this area when the time comes."
"Really!" Lao Jin turned from sorrow to joy.
"Really. We never treat our own people badly." Bai Zhi smiled.
Bai Zhi opened the folder. The header date on the first page was last year. This document has a total of more than ten pages, one page per year, recording the materials stored by the Villa every year. The top few pages are food, medicine and daily necessities. , the bottom pages are steel, wood and fuel. For other organizations, these materials are very important. But for District 1, the value of these materials is really not that great. The supplies that Bai Zhi, Yue Dongting, Zhang Tianzhao and others brought back and stored in the institute's warehouse were no less than these. She wrote a total list in pencil and stuck it on the cover of the folder with a paper clip. Put this document on the corner of your desk.
The remaining dozen or so documents are the villa's architectural design drawings, water and electricity wiring diagrams, and the villa's business license. In general, they are all things that are on the surface. Bai Zhi took a copy of the drawings, put it in a bag, held it in her hand, closed the lid of the box, pointed to the copy on the corner of the table and said, "When Yue Dongting comes down, give this to him first. Where are the hundreds of family members arranged?" "
"Main building." Lao Jin stood up and said, "Mr. Yue has arranged for someone to receive you in the foyer of the main building. Just go to the reception and ask who you want to find. Miss Five, are you looking for a friend now?"
"No rush, please accompany me around the villa first." Bai Zhi smiled, "This is my first time here, so I need to get to know you first."
Lao Jin walked around the villa with Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi said hello to every old employee, and also went to the employee family area to calm people's hearts. After returning to the main building, the foyer was temporarily arranged to serve as a receptionist. The two young men saw Bai Zhi raising her hands and saluting. Sister-in-law, don't speak too loudly, just hand over the key with the house number on it and say: "Sister-in-law, 319, Brother Zhang has already gone up. Brother Yue said that when he sees you, let me tell you, Xiaofei lives in 301."
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, took the key, glanced at Lao Jin who was creeping up, and said, "Xiao Qi usually won't come out if nothing happens. You have told Yue Dongting in advance these days. We will go back to Shanghai after dinner. You go back and rest first.”
Lao Jin nodded, waited for Bai Zhi to go upstairs, and sat next to the two reception guys to find out who the fifth uncle was.
Bai Zhi knocked on the door of 319, and Zhang Tianzhao opened the door to let her in. She was covered in moisture, and the white shirt might have been put on in a hurry without being buttoned. Bai Zhi handed him the document bag and asked him, "When will we leave?"
"You can do it at any time." Zhang Tianzhao lowered his head and took the documents from the document bag, "Do you want to return the drawings of the villa?"
"There are two more. I'm going to 301 to see Xiaofei and Xiaomei. Come to me after you've finished packing. We'll go to Xiaoqi to discuss what to do with the plants." Bai Zhi exited and closed the door.
The door of 301 is ajar, and Dad Hai doesn't seem to have the habit of closing the door. Bai Zhi knocked lightly on the door, and Hai Daddy called out, his voice steady and powerful.
Room 301 is a suite with two bedrooms and a living room. Xiao Fei and her little sister snuggled up on the big sofa and fell asleep, covered with a thick quilt with a strong musty smell. There is a thick layer of gray on the back of the ornate sofa. The doors of both bedrooms were open, and there was dust inside. There was a clear little butt mark on one of the beds. I don’t know if it was Xiao Fei’s or my sister’s.
Hai's father must have never done housework before. It is unrealistic for him to do housework at this age. Who knows whether Hai Coral will come back to sleep at night. Fortunately, the old man also knows that children cannot sleep on a bed that looks like a pig's nest.
Bai Zhi silently went into the bathroom to change daily necessities, stuffed the cabinet with toilet paper, threw out the musty towels, and put new towels and a clean basin. Remade the mattresses, sheets, and quilts for the four beds in the two bedrooms. After Zhang Tianzhao arrived, he moved 319 the sheets and quilts that were obviously unused, and came back with a bucket, rag and mop. Dad Hai coughed twice in embarrassment and retreated to the corridor consciously.
After they finished cleaning up, the two bedrooms, one living room and a large bathroom had a completely new look. The floor was bright enough to look in the mirror, and the two girls moved into a bedroom to sleep on the same bed. On the other bed, clothes, shoes and socks for men, women, and children were piled as high as one person.
Zhang Tianzhao carefully put away the large sofa and coffee table in the living room, which were not suitable for living at home, and replaced them with a dining table and chairs for six people. He placed two cabinets in the empty space against the wall. One was empty, and the other contained lunch boxes, tea cups, and tea boxes. , there is still room in the middle of the two cabinets for four thermos bottles.
"Uncle, the candles and lighter are on the top shelf of the cabinet. There is milk powder in the cabinet. Let's go over and say hello to Yue Dongting and then return to Shanghai." Zhang Tianzhao and Dad Hai said goodbye.
Dad Hai nodded to the two of them, "Be safe. I will ask my little sister just like I asked Xiaofei." After he entered the door, he closed the door gently.
The little old man is not used to saying thank you to others, and maybe he is not used to receiving thank you from others either. Bai Zhi remained silent, facing the ajar door with a smile that bloomed like a summer flower. Zhang Tianzhao also laughed and said, "It's rare for you to be so happy."
"My dad is also that kind of person." Bai Zhi paused and said, "This place is still dozens of kilometers away from our old home. I guess I won't be able to visit them this time."
"Brother Gu is so cautious." Zhang Tianzhao passed the stairs without going down and continued walking forward, "Please tidy up your room so that you can have a place to rest next time you come."
"Forget it, go downstairs and return the key. We may not be able to come back for several years." Bai Zhi held the key in her hand and stood at the top of the stairs, feeling a subtle sense of disharmony.
Zhang Tianzhao walked back and tossed the keys to play with, "There are very few hotels with such original door locks. Your grandfather seems to know everything. Our professional positions are very clear, but yours is very vague."
"The position they gave me is to give birth to a child." The corners of Bai Zhi's mouth turned up, but her smile could not cover up her sadness. She slowly walked down the steps, walked through the arcade and entered the lobby. Facing the two young men who were receiving her, she had regained her composure. smile. She threw the key to a receptionist and said, "We are going back to Shanghai, so let's arrange this room for someone else to live in first."
Zhang Tianzhao threw the key to the young man and walked to the glass door to open the door for Bai Zhi. The two young men said behind them: "Brother Zhang and sister-in-law, walk slowly." Zhang Tianzhao smiled at them, let go, and the spring-loaded glass bounced back, isolating Bai Zhi from the world of her family.
After discussing with the teacher, Xiao Qi still asked Bai Zhi to keep the plants temporarily. When leaving, the bald old professor held Bai Zhi's little hand with an expression even more reluctant than Xiao Qi's and said, "You must come back. You have to come back."
