"Everyone, this is where we will rest tonight. You can choose any room to stay in. The toiletries are all brand new. The restaurant is downstairs. There will be a meeting tomorrow. Please have a good rest tonight."
Under the leadership of Secretary Lin, everyone came to an empty hotel, where they would rest tonight.
Knowing that there will be a meeting tomorrow, many people suddenly felt a little heavier - today's content alone has made them unable to sleep. If they hear more desperate news tomorrow, they may have to do it in the future.
Completely insomnia...
At this moment, Lu Zhan suddenly asked: "Excuse me, where are the other people who came with us now?"
He was referring to Liu Qingqing and Xia Yuxi.
Secretary Lin replied with a smile: "Those people are currently in the reception area. Don't worry, I will bring them here in a while. Those who stay outside the city don't have to worry, we will arrange corresponding temporary residence for them."
"
Lu Zhan nodded slightly: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
"This is what I should do."
Seeing that this secretary was so talkative, someone couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Lin, why are there so few people in the parliament?"
Everyone was also a little confused about this. Along the way, not to mention the park where the parliament was located, there were not many people in the entire city. The streets were very deserted and looked extremely depressed.
Secretary Lin explained: "This meeting is of great importance. In order to welcome everyone and avoid unnecessary trouble, except for a small number of people who need to stay to run the necessary facilities, we have temporarily placed everyone else in
somewhere else.”
"Tsk, taking refuge in advance is a bit like preparing for war..."
One person joked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Lin nodded seriously: "We have indeed taken this factor into consideration."
The air suddenly became stagnant.
However, everyone was relieved when they thought of the taboo spokesperson of Dayless Hell who appeared when they entered the city. If the other party took action at that time, then there was indeed a possibility of fighting in the city, and the council that had prepared in advance would not have to restrain its hands.
fight back.
But... is this really just to prevent the forbidden spokesperson?
After a moment of silence, Han Hai asked: "Speaking of the 'voice from the dayless hell' mentioned by the taboo person just now...will it be mentioned in tomorrow's meeting?"
Everyone glanced at him in unison. This guy had ridiculed the parliament before. They thought he would leave at the end of the day.
Unexpectedly, I planned to stay here to attend tomorrow's meeting, but I am in a good mood...
But the parliament should not care about these things.
Secretary Lin seemed to have read his thoughts, and his tone suddenly became colder: "No doubt, everyone, the taboo spokesperson is part of the content of the meeting. We will not hide any information about today's taboo spokesperson and will report it in the meeting.
I will truthfully convey it to everyone in subsequent meetings, so please don’t make any assumptions.”
"My contact information is in every room. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. I'll say goodbye now."
After saying this, she bowed slightly to everyone, took the elevator and left the hotel.
Everyone had their own thoughts and had no interest in talking for the time being, so they chose their own rooms to enter.
At the same time, Xue Hongyu was walking towards the Stone Tablet Research Institute.
Behind her were the bodyguards Ye Xiao and Huang Qianyan who looked complicated.
"Don't follow me."
Xue Hongyu said without looking back.
These words were obviously meant for Huang Qianyan, who said helplessly: "We haven't seen each other for so long, can't we catch up on old times?"
"I have no time today. There are still a lot of projects waiting for me in the institute, and there is no need to reminisce about old times."
"I say that every time..."
Huang Qianyan smiled bitterly and said, "You really still like to study these things. Other than that, you don't care about anything else."
"That's not true. Of course I have other things that I care about."
Xue Hongyu shook his head and said, "But it's the first time you've heard the information today, right? Are you still in the mood to think about other things at this time?"
This seemed to her a very childish behavior.
Huang Qianyan's expression turned serious: "Is the situation really that serious?"
"It's always been serious, but you've been there for so long that you don't know it."
Huang Qianyan was stunned, and after a moment of silence he said: "Are you blaming me? Including my performance in the meeting just now..."
"No, you are not an indispensable presence in the parliament, and I can somewhat predict your performance - besides, everything is a joint decision of other people in the parliament, so I have no reason to blame you."
Xue Hongyu's tone was very calm.
She has been working in parliament since she was a child to conduct research on restricted areas. She rarely interacts with people. She likes to speak with theory and data and does not care about emotional issues. Therefore, she often speaks directly without knowing what is euphemistic.
This is what Huang Qianyan likes very much, and it is also what he hates.
The meaning expressed by the other party was already very clear - his absence would not have any impact on Xue Hongyu, and Xue Hongyu did not have any expectations for him.
His fists clenched quietly, he took a deep breath and decided not to dwell on this topic for the time being.
, suddenly asked: "Is it true that there is something like what you speculated hidden among those people?"
"uncertain."
Xue Hongyu said, "I have been observing them in the meeting just now, and I have not found anything abnormal for the time being. The people in the reception area were carefully observed by Sister Lin, and no problems were found."
She was not really doing nothing in the conference room before. On the surface, she was thinking, but in fact, she had been secretly observing everyone, but unfortunately she did not come up with any results.
"That thing either didn't come, or it has a very strong hiding ability. If it's the latter, then we must find it during this meeting, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"I see."
Wang Qianyan nodded cautiously, "Grandpa said that if an emergency occurs, you can apply for the taboo sequence."
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go to the laboratory first."
Xue Hongyu didn't seem to be interested in talking to him and walked straight into the gate of the institute, while Ye Xiao stood guard in front of the gate, obviously not planning to let Huang Qianyan in.
Huang Qianyan watched Xue Hongyu's back disappear, stood there for a long time, then turned and left.
…
Naturally, Bai Mo didn't know about the meeting being held in the parliament. The appearance of the so-called taboo spokesperson previously wasted a lot of time on the road for everyone. If they didn't hurry up and rush on their way, they might not be able to reach their destination today.
He planned to take care of the matter within today and rush back as soon as possible. Unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined. After that, he encountered some minor troubles on the road. In addition, the children's physical strength was limited, and it was almost impossible to run around for a day.
Although he didn't complain about being tired after all his energy was expended, Yang Yiyi saw it and finally decided to find a place to rest.
"It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest and set off again tomorrow."
Bai Mo glanced at her and said, "The person I just met said that the destination is not far away. There is no need to stop now to avoid causing complications."
Yang Yiyi frowned and said, "But the children are already very tired."
"You should know very well that resting in the wild is very dangerous."
"I know there is an abandoned village not far away. We can stay there for a night."
"If that place was really safe, it wouldn't be abandoned." Bai Mo said calmly.
"That being said, there is no danger anywhere in the buffer zone, but at least there is a place to stay in the village, right?"
Seeing that the two seemed to be quarreling, Han Xiao quickly said: "Sister Yiyi, it's okay. We can continue walking after taking a rest."
The other three people nodded in agreement, indicating that they were okay.
There wasn't much they could do, and they knew this wasn't playing house, so they could only try their best not to cause trouble for the two of them.
Yang Yiyi's heart softened, she touched the children's heads and said with a smile: "We have been walking for a day. You have to rest when you need to. You don't have to force it."
"But……"
The children were hesitant and secretly looked at Bai Mo's expression, but at this moment, the other party's cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Where is the village you mentioned?"
The corners of Yang Yiyi's mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly put on a straight face and snorted coldly: "Didn't you say you won't rest?"
Bai Mo glanced at her: "Just right, then keep walking."
"No, no need! I'll take you to the village!" Yang Yiyi quickly changed her words.
Everyone rested there for a while, and then walked towards the village Yang Yiyi mentioned.
Along the way, she introduced the situation of the village to everyone.
It is said that the village was first established by a group of abandoned disciples more than a hundred years ago. The size of the village was not large. When Yang Yiyi came, there were only about fifty households living there.
And because that place is close to the B-level restricted area Shuiyuan, the environment of the village has always been relatively humid and the nights are quite cold. It is easy to get sick if you live there for a long time. Therefore, it was not included in the urban area and eventually became the residence of abandoned disciples.
But that was all before the restricted area was expanded. After the restricted area was expanded, most areas became buffer zones, and this village was no exception. Creatures from the restricted area often appeared, and it has since been abandoned.
After listening, Bai Mo asked: "Have the creatures in Shuiyuan's restricted area also begun to leave the restricted area?"
Yang Yiyi shook her head and said: "I don't know. I have only been to that village twice. I don't know anything except that it has been abandoned."
It was only then that she started to worry belatedly, "Well... if the forbidden creatures in Shuiyuan wander around the village, will it be dangerous?"
"You only now know the danger?"
Bai Mo said calmly, "But don't worry too much. I remember that the abyss is a swamp. The creatures there are very difficult to deal with in the swamp, but they are not something to be afraid of on land. Besides, we still have this thing."
He opened his palm, and in his hand was a bright red hair, which was the taboo sequence c-hunting net.
Yang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, not noticing at all that since Bai Mo appeared, she had subconsciously relaxed a lot about the crisis, as if the burden on her body had been shared.
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon they saw a village not far ahead.
Just like what Yang Yiyi described, the village looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. The houses are dilapidated and the roads are covered with weeds. At this time, the sky has become a little dark, which adds to the
A bit eerie.
At this moment, Yang Yiyi suddenly became vigilant and said: "Be careful, there may be something in here."
Bai Mo lowered his head and glanced at the large area of downed weeds on the road, and said calmly: "This kind of trace is more like that left by people, and it only appeared recently. Maybe someone has the same idea as us and regards this place as...
Temporary residence.”
Yang Yiyi frowned slightly. Many times, meeting similar people outside is not necessarily a good thing, and may even make the situation worse.
But now that Bai Mo was her bodyguard, she was fearless. She whispered to the children to be careful, and then walked into the village first.
The village was silent, and the soil underfoot was very soft, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time. There were stumps and dried blood left in many corners, as if they had been there for a long time.
However, everyone has long been accustomed to this, and even the children are not too afraid.
Yang Yiyi looked around vigilantly, looking for a relatively intact house, preparing to use it as a place to stay tonight. However, at this moment, she suddenly looked not far away and said solemnly: "There is fire there.
"
Bai Mo had long noticed the firelight over there. Not only the firelight, he also saw a group of figures, about a dozen people. There was a faint fragrance wafting from his nose, and it looked like they were roasting something.
If it were before, Yang Yiyi would definitely make her own decision, but now that Bai Mo is around, she decided to seek his opinion and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to go over and say hello?"
"No."
Bai Mo didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.
However, even though he didn't want to say hello, the other party had already noticed them. Several people came over from the houses on both sides with various weapons and asked warily: "Who are you?"
"For passers-by, we plan to rest here for one night."
Yang Yiyi knew that Bai Mo had no intention of paying attention to this kind of negotiation, so she explained aloud.
The other party looked at them for a few times and asked suspiciously: "The world is so dangerous now, and there are still people wandering around with a few children?"
"We are entrusted by others to take them to their relatives." Yang Yiyi said sincerely, "This village is so big, we can just choose a room at random and won't disturb you."
"That won't work."
"What's wrong?"
Several people were obviously suspicious of the arrival of Bai Mo and others, but at this moment, a man and a woman walked over not far away, each holding a few skewers of steaming meat in their hands.
These two people seemed to be the leaders of the group, and several people quickly reported the situation and raised their suspicions.
"A passer-by..."
The man was thin, but his right arm was extremely thick. It seemed to be made of machinery. He distributed the meat skewers in his hands to several people and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Eat first. There are many more over there. I will replace them later."
You can eat whatever you want after work."
Then he turned his attention to Bai Mo and the others and asked, "Can you tell me where your destination is?"
"Boundless City."
Yang Yiyi opened her mouth and came, obviously not intending to tell the truth, "I heard that couples can go into the city there. We plan to give it a try. The relatives of these children are also nearby."
"I see... But I heard that the requirements for entering the city are not low, so you two need to prepare in advance."
"Boss..."
"It's okay. This place doesn't belong to us. It's okay for others to find a place to stay for one night. Maybe they can take care of us." The man waved his hand and said.
The woman next to him smiled gently and asked, "Have you eaten? We happened to grill some meat skewers. Do you want to come over and eat some together?"
She raised the meat skewers in her hand, and the rich aroma made several children swallow their saliva.
Yang Yiyi was about to refuse, but Bai Mo said first: "This is enough in your hand."
Hearing this, the woman was slightly startled, while the others complained in their hearts, saying that this guy is really rude, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com What do you mean this is enough?
"My name is Wu Ziwen, and this is my brother Wu Ziwu. We are also passing by and plan to rest here for a few nights."
The woman introduced herself and handed the meat skewers to Yang Yiyi, who took it carefully and said thank you.
"By the way, this place is very humid and the temperature is relatively low at night. You'd better go outside the village to find some dry firewood to make a fire at night. Also, maybe it's because this place is close to the B-level restricted water abyss, so there isn't much in the village at night.
There are creatures in the restricted area, but it is best not to run around, especially not to leave the village."
Wu Ziwen gave a kind reminder and then left with everyone.
In her opinion, people just meet by chance and just form a good relationship, there is no need to deliberately make friends.
At this moment, Bai Mo suddenly said from behind her: "These things are often very big and the meat is quite delicious, but it is best not to eat too much, otherwise you will feel dizzy and enter a weak state."
Wu Ziwen was stunned for a moment, then turned back and smiled at him.
