Chapter 116: Apocalypse Zombie Adventure 16
He Ji and his friends were extremely curious about the fact that Song Xun could suddenly speak.
"Come on, come on, talk to me."
"Try calling my name."
"Listen to the sound."
Song Xun read out several names clearly and accurately, with a hint of pride in his voice.
Wu Hui said exaggeratedly: "Amazing! Our Xiao An is definitely the coolest zombie in the world."
He Ji couldn't help laughing out loud.
Song Xun realized that several people were teasing him on purpose, and turned away angrily.
"Hey, why are you leaving? Why don't you chat for a while?"
Song Xun pretended not to hear it. When he went downstairs, he felt a tender little hand holding his palm.
"Brother." Mumu looked up at him, and with her tiny strength, she pulled Song Xun to the place where Chen Xiwei had fallen, pointing at the ground and saying, "Sister."
He is not talkative, and apart from repeating the word "sister", the only other name he uses now is to call Song Xun "brother".
What Chen Xiwei said was right. Mu Mu liked Song Xun. Apart from staying with Song Xun, he ignored everyone else. He had never been seen opening his mouth. He was quiet and silent like a lifeless sculpture.
Song Xun's heart always softened when he saw him, and he squatted down.
"My sister turned into a star in the sky, silently watching over Mumu from another place."
Mumu lowered her head, staring blankly at the place where Chen Xiwei had been lying without crying or making a fuss.
Song Xun took out the candy that Wu Hui gave him from his pocket, peeled it and put it into the child's mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"Sweet." Mumu rarely uttered a word.
Song Xun touched his head.
Mumu's birth was not voluntary by his mother, and he was never born with any expectations, so he doesn't even deserve a surname. The only sister who was sincere to him left, and a five-year-old child lives alone in this dangerous world. It is a heavy thing that Song Xun feels when he thinks about it.
Xie Min had just come back from hunting rabbits outside.
The people on the first floor were used to it, knowing that this was reserved for the hooded, silent boy, but no one questioned it this time.
After what happened with Chen Xiwei, they became much more honest.
Xie Min stopped at the stairs and looked back at Song Xun.
Song Xun stuffed all the candies in his pocket to Mu Mu and followed Xie Min who was waiting for him.
Mumu held the candy tightly in his hand until the figure he was chasing disappeared from his sight. Then he lowered his head in disappointment and stared at the candy in his hand in a daze.
Upstairs, Xie Min cleaned the other rabbit in his hand before Song Xun finished eating the first one. Just as he handed it out, he saw that he tore off a leg in advance before starting to eat.
Xie Min raised an eyebrow: "Why are you hoarding food? You won't be short of food."
Song Xun said nothing. After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and went back downstairs.
Xie Min stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down. He saw Song Xun holding a rabbit leg that was roasted by Qin Hao and secretly gave it to Mu Mu.
Xie Min who witnessed the whole process was so angry that he laughed and couldn't help but grind his teeth. What an ungrateful little bastard! He worked so hard every day but didn't get any benefit at all.
He got the girl by chance, a kid he had only known for two days.
Song Xun had no idea that his little action was witnessed by Xie Min, so he didn't understand why Xie Min took it out on him as soon as he came downstairs and even turned his face red. What was wrong with him?
He Ji finally rescued Song Xun from the clutches of the devil and reported to Xie Min: "The escort personnel sent by the base will arrive tonight."
Xie Min withdrew his gaze from Song Xun who was running away and responded.
He Ji was puzzled: "Why didn't the base let us escort them directly? Why did they have to find someone else?"
Xie Min felt that he was asking a nonsense question. There was no other possibility that the base would not allow them to go back unless they had a new mission outside.
He had no intention of asking He Ji to answer, and wanted his team members to use their brains more: "Think about it yourself."
As expected, the base did issue a new mission, but the person in charge of escorting the survivors back this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
Tang Shan, the second-in-command of the base, is always involved in matters concerning the safety of the base. Why would he come here just to pick up a few survivors?
Compared to Xie Min and his companions who were dressed in black combat uniforms and always had a murderous aura, Tang Shan appeared much gentler and more elegant. He stepped forward to greet Xie Min and his companions.
"Thank you for your hard work, I will have to trouble you again next time."
He didn't directly mention the next specific task, but looked at Xie Min: "Captain Xie, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
He Ji whispered to Wu Hui: "What kind of mission is so mysterious that even Tang Shan came here."
The two of them were discussing in whispers.
Xie Min led Tang Shan out the door, saying casually, "Let's put these survivors in the third area for the time being."
Hearing this, Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at everyone in the room: "Okay."
The people inside had no idea what the third zone mentioned by the two meant. Tuan sat there looking at the convoy outside boredly, fantasizing about the comfortable life under protection after entering the base.
They didn't know, but He Ji and the others knew it very well.
Wu Hui gloated: "That's good."
The third area is specially for the troublemakers in the base. The management is known to be strict. Once you go in, you will contribute to the border defense of the base and work hard. Unless you perform well, you can't get out.
Wu Hui was very angry when she thought that she had to serve them three meals a day, and that everyone took it for granted and no one was tactful enough to help.
Adding to that Chen Xiwei incident, I have even less favorable impression of these people.
Outside, it was getting dark.
The two stood under the tree.
Xie Min: "Tell me, what is the mission?"
Tang Shan said solemnly, "The base has received news that the research institute in Tancheng has been breached by zombies. The base has entrusted you to rescue a person."
He handed a photo to Xie Min.
In the soft moonlight, the photo shows a young man wearing a white coat with handsome features.
"He and his teacher are trapped inside, and the only thing that is certain now is that he is still alive."
"Dr. Cheng and his teacher started researching and cracking the zombie virus at the beginning of the apocalypse. We need such professionals. Their role and influence on the base are very important. Please make sure to rescue them."
Xie Min put the photos away and took on the task.
Tang Shan continued, "There is one more thing I hope Captain Xie can pay attention to."
Xie Min nodded, signaling him to speak directly.
"In the communication sent by Dr. Cheng, the base was asked to keep an eye out for a zombie. Once found, bring it back to the base and keep it alive."
Xie Min's eyes flashed with emotion, he looked up at Tang Shan, and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Is there anything that stands out?"
"I don't know exactly what he looks like, but there's 013 engraved on his right shoulder."
The vague premonition in his heart became a reality, and Xie Min's expression froze for a moment.
Tang Shan keenly noticed Xie Min's brief abnormality and stressed, "Captain Xie, if you find any trace of the zombies mentioned above, please bring them back to the base as soon as possible."
He observed Xie Min's expression, but saw that his face remained normal, revealing a nonchalant coldness.
"of course."
Tang Shan thought he was just being too sensitive, and after saying some polite words to Xie Min, he began to organize the survivors to return to the base.
