Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent

Chapter 117: Apocalypse Zombie Adventure 17

Song Xun poked his head out from the haystack and stared at the empty space under the big tree in a daze.

For the first time, I went to 996 to explore my origins: "What is my connection with Tancheng Research Institute?"

Why did Dr. Cheng ask the base to find him specifically?

996: "You are an experimental subject that escaped from the Tancheng Research Institute."

Song Xun swallowed his anger and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Didn't I tell you?" 996 looked a little guilty and gave him a thorough analysis: "If Xie Min didn't betray you this time, you would still fall into Dr. Cheng's hands when you go to Tancheng. It's just a matter of time. Be happy. After all, at your walking speed, it will take three to four months to rush to the base to participate in the zombie raid."

Song Xun actually felt that there was some truth in what it said.

Thinking that Xie Min did not reveal himself in front of that person, he felt that he was quite righteous. Rather than being taken away by a stranger, he would rather follow Xie Min and finally fall into the trap.

Song Xun stamped his feet, took Mumu, who had just finished eating the rabbit leg, with him, wiped the oil off his mouth to destroy the evidence, and went into the house as if nothing had happened.

Early the next morning, Tang Shan organized the survivors to get on the bus and prepare for the return journey.

When it came to Mumu, the only child,'s turn, something went wrong.

He was unwilling to get on the bus and refused to follow anyone's instructions. He screamed when someone tried to pull him hard and was completely unable to communicate.

Wu Hui squatted in front of him and coaxed him, "There are many children of your age in the base. You will have people to play with when you go back."

The children in the base are all protected and taught by special departments and organizations. They are under strict protection. Compared to being outside, the base can guarantee absolute safety for Mumu.

Mumu was unmoved by Wu Hui's words and looked around the house stubbornly, searching for something.

Song Xun who was on the second floor finally came downstairs. When they passed each other, Xie Min who was standing at the stairs shook his arm slightly, as if he was trying to stop him, but it was forcibly suppressed.

Song Xun didn't notice this. He came to Mu Mu and touched his head.

"Mumu, be obedient and go back to the base with everyone, okay?"

Song Xun's approach made Mu Mu react. He hooked the corner of Song Xun's clothes and said in a sad voice: "Brother."

Song Xun thought for a moment and promised, "I'll come to the base to see you after a while."

Mumu relaxed a little and looked up at Songxun as if to confirm the authenticity.

In order to appease the child, Song Xun was rarely playful: "I lied to you that you were a puppy."

Tang Shan's gaze fell on Song Xun, who was wearing a hoodie and had his back to him, and he turned to ask Wu Hui who was standing beside him.

"Who is this?"

Wu Hui remained calm and said, "These are our new recruits."

Tang Shan glanced at Xie Min, who looked calm, and said jokingly, "Anyone who can be accepted by Captain Xie must have extraordinary abilities."

He Ji gave a thumbs up exaggeratedly: "Your ability is first-rate."

After all, Song Xun's identity was too special, so they arranged for him to stay on the second floor in advance and he did not come down. Unexpectedly, he was still run into by the two men. Tang Shan, the old fox, was famous for his sharpness, and it was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by him.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

After Mumu got into the car, Tang Shan did not stay any longer and drove back to the base.

The room suddenly became empty again.

Xie Min announced the latest mission and specified the best route to Tancheng.

Everything seemed normal during the conversation, but something seemed to be wrong.

He Ji and Wu Hui looked at each other and noticed something unusual. Even the most slow-witted Qin Hao realized that Xie Min was hiding something.

In the past, Xie Min was always full of energy, calm and rational when dealing with tasks, instead of being absent-minded, with a frown on his face and even a heavy tone in his voice.

Xie Min's behavior could easily make them think that the difficulty of this mission was such that there was no return and they might even sacrifice their lives heroically.

He Ji swallowed and looked at Xie Min, who had not yet announced the disbandment: "Captain? Is there anything else you want to add?"

The question brought Xie Min's thoughts back to his original state: "That's all. We'll be ready to leave tomorrow."

The few of them dispersed on the spot and enjoyed the leisure time before the mission began.

Wu Hui was making a fire in the yard, preparing to roast the wild boar that she had left uneaten last time.

He Ji and Fang Wenbo are researching how to make a homemade grill.

Amidst the busy chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

Xie Min stood by the window, staring at a figure outside through the gap in the corner of the vines.

Song Xun was squatting beside Qin Hao who was cutting up the pork, almost drooling with greed. He felt as if someone was watching him, so he turned around and looked around, but saw nothing.

Qin Hao gave him a quarter of the meat, and Song Xun happily took it and thanked him.

The sunlight refracted through the gaps in the vines, and several rays of light were reflected. The floating dust had no place to hide in the beams of light, and also enveloped Xie Min in the darkness, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Xie Min withdrew his gaze, and his fingers trembled slightly in the beam of light for a moment.

Every word Tang Shan said last night echoed in my ears.

The special mark on Xie An’s right shoulder, the content of Dr. Cheng’s communication, and the Tanshan Research Institute, all of these formed a connected line.

When Xie An was bitten for the first time, Xie Min attributed his failure to being infected to inhibitors or awakening of superpowers, thus missing out on Xie An's uniqueness.

How could the zombies that Dr. Cheng specifically sought help from the base to find be ordinary zombies? This is too far-fetched.

Xie Min couldn't deceive himself. If... if Xie An's existence was related to the survival of all mankind, then did he still have any choice?

Xie Min has been moving towards the same direction and goal since he was born, the beautiful and bright world that existed in the mouths of the previous generation.

That is also the common hope of millions of people.

Xie Min began to not understand himself. Why didn't he tell Tang Shan about Xie An's existence? Why did he deliberately condone and conceal it?

He Ji and the others did not understand Xie An's identity, but he committed the crime knowingly.

It was as if there were two selves split in Xie Min's body, one rational and the other selfish.

A zombie that was initially treated as an interesting distraction unknowingly took over and affected his judgment and decision-making.

Xie Min clearly recognized his mistake. Since it was a mistake, he must correct it.

He Ji was the first to see Xie Min come out and waved happily: "The barbecue is almost ready."

Song Xun, who had eaten and drunk his fill, sat on the grass, drowsy.

Ever since he fainted that day, his body seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming more and more like a human being, and able to maintain the functioning of his body through sleep.

Song Xun nodded his head and when he dozed off, he noticed someone sitting next to him.

He turned to look at Xie Min, his eyes still sleepy and filled with the confusion of someone who had just woken up.

There was an indescribable complexity in Xie Min's eyes. At this moment, he thought, if Xie An was really just an ordinary human being, or just an ordinary zombie, he didn't have to be so smart, so special, and it didn't matter if he was a little ugly and shabby.

that would be nice.
