Restricted area grave keeper

"Everyone, this is where everyone will rest tonight. You can choose any room to stay in. The toiletries are brand new. The restaurant is downstairs. There will be a meeting tomorrow. Please rest well tonight."

Under the leadership of Secretary Lin, everyone came to an empty hotel, where they rested tonight.

Knowing that there will be a meeting tomorrow, many people's moods suddenly became a little heavy - today's content alone has already made them unable to sleep. total 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 over later, and those who stay outside the city don't have to worry, we will arrange corresponding temporary accommodation for them. "

Lu Zhan nodded slightly: "Thank you, I'm sorry."

"This is what I should do."

Seeing that the secretary was so eloquent, someone couldn't help asking: "I said Secretary Lin, why are there so few people in the council?"

Everyone was also a little puzzled about this. They walked all the way, not to mention the park where the parliament is located, and even the entire city did not see a few people. The streets were very deserted and looked extremely depressed.

Secretary Lin explained: "This meeting is of great importance. In order to welcome everyone's arrival and avoid unnecessary troubles, except for a small number of people who need to stay in the necessary facilities for operation, the others are temporarily placed by us. elsewhere."

"Tsk, evacuate early, it's a bit of pre-war preparations..."

One joked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Secretary Lin nodded seriously: "This factor has indeed been taken into consideration."

The air froze for an instant.

However, when they thought of the forbidden spokesperson of Hell without Day that appeared when they entered the city before, everyone felt relieved—if the other party made a move at that time, then there was indeed a possibility of a battle in the city, and the parliament that had prepared in advance would not have to hold back. fight back.

But... is this really just to guard against taboo spokespersons?
After a moment of silence, Han Hai asked: "Speaking of the 'voice from Hell without Day' that the taboo person just said... Will it be mentioned in tomorrow's meeting?"

Everyone glanced at him unanimously. This guy was sneering at the council before. They thought he would leave after today's end, but they didn't expect to stay here to attend tomorrow's meeting. His mentality is good...

But the parliament should not care about these things.

Secretary Lin seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Don't doubt everyone, the taboo spokesperson is part of the meeting, and we will not hide any information about today's taboo spokesperson. I will convey the truth to everyone in the following meeting, so please don’t speculate on your own.”

"My contact information is available in every room. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time. I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, she bowed slightly to everyone, took the elevator and left the hotel. …

But everyone had their own thoughts and had no interest in talking for the time being, so they chose their own room to enter.

At the same time, Xue Hongyu was walking towards the Stele Research Institute.

Behind her were the bodyguard Supper and Huang Qianyan with a complicated expression.

"Don't follow me."

Xue Hongyu said without looking back.

These words were obviously addressed to Huang Qianyan, who said helplessly, "We haven't seen each other for so long, can't we catch up?"

"I don't have time today. There are still a lot of projects waiting for me in the research institute, and there is no need to talk about the past."

"Every time I say that..."

Huang Qianyan smiled wryly, "You really like to study these things, and you don't care about anything else."

"That's not true. Of course I also have other concerns."

Xue Hongyu shook his head, and said again, "But this is 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 to be a very childish behavior.

Huang Qianyan's expression became serious: "Is the situation really so serious?"

"It's always been grim, it's just that you've been there 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 at the meeting just now..."

"No, you are not an indispensable existence in the parliament, and I can guess some of your performance—and everything is a joint decision of other members of the parliament. I have no reason to blame you."

Xue Hongyu's tone was very calm.

She has entered the parliament since she was a child to conduct research on restricted areas. She rarely interacts with people. She likes to use theory and data to speak, and doesn't care about emotional issues. Therefore, she often speaks directly and does not know how to be 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 - the absence of him would not have any impact on Xue Hongyu, and Xue Hongyu did not have any expectations of him.

Clenching his fist quietly, he took a deep breath, decided not to dwell on this topic for the time being, and asked suddenly: "Is there really something that you speculated is hidden in that group of people?"

"uncertain."

Xue Hongyu said, "I have been observing them during the meeting just now, and I haven't found anything unusual for the time being. The people in the reception area have been carefully observed by Sister Lin, and I haven't found any problems."

She wasn't really doing nothing in the conference room before, she was thinking on the surface, but in fact she had been secretly observing everyone, but unfortunately she didn't get any results.

"That thing either didn't come, or it has a strong ability to hide. If it's the latter, then we must find it in this meeting, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"I see."

Wang Qianyan nodded cautiously, "Grandpa said that if there is an emergency, you can apply for the taboo sequence."

"Well, then I will leave this matter to you. I will go to the laboratory first."

Xue Hongyu didn't seem to be interested in talking to him, so he walked straight into the gate of the institute, while Ye Xiao stood guard in front of the gate, obviously not going 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 ongoing meeting of the parliament. The appearance of the so-called taboo spokesperson had wasted a lot of traveling time. If he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to reach his destination today.

He planned to deal with this matter within today, and then rush back as soon as possible, but unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as expected. Afterwards, he encountered some small troubles on the road, and the children's physical strength was limited. She exhausted all her physical strength, and although she didn't complain of suffering or tiredness, 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 start tomorrow."

Bai Mo glanced at her and said, "The person I just met said that the destination is not far away, so there's no need to stop now to avoid complications."

Yang Yiyi frowned and said, "But the children are already very tired."

"You should be well aware that resting in the wild is a very dangerous business."

"I know there is an abandoned village not far away, we can stay in it for one night."

"If that place is really safe, it won't be abandoned." Bai Mo said lightly.

"That is to say, the buffer zone is not dangerous, but at least there is a foothold in the village, isn't it?"

Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, Han Xiao quickly said, "Sister Yiyi, it's okay, we can continue walking after we rest."

The other three also nodded in agreement, indicating that they were okay.

There are not many things they can do, and they also know that this is not a play, so they can only try 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: "It's been a day of walking, you have to rest when you should, don't force it."

"But……"

The children were a little hesitant, secretly looking 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 soon she put on a straight face, and said coldly, "Didn't you say you won't rest?"

Bai Mo glanced at her: "That's right, then go on."

"No, no need! I'll take you to the village!" Yang Yiyi quickly changed her words.

Everyone rested in place 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. It has been more than 100 years ago. The scale of the village is not large. When Yang Yiyi came, there were only more than 50 households living there.

And because that place is close to the Abyss of the B-level forbidden area, the environment of the village has always been relatively humid, and the nights are quite cold. If you live for a long time, you will easily get sick. Therefore, it was not included in the scope of the urban area, and eventually became the residence of abandoned disciples.

But that was before the expansion of the restricted area. After the expansion of the restricted area, most of the area has become a buffer zone. This village is no exception. There are often creatures in the restricted area, and it has been abandoned since then.

After listening, Bai Mo asked: "Have the creatures in the restricted area in the water abyss also started to leave the restricted area?"...

Yang Yiyi shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've only been to that village twice, and I don't know anything except that it has been abandoned."

It was only at this time that she became worried, "Well... if the forbidden creatures in the water abyss wander around the village, will it be very dangerous?"

"You know the danger now?"

Bai Mo said lightly, "But don't worry too much. I remember that the abyss is a swamp. The creatures there are very difficult to entangle in the swamp. On land, there is nothing to fear. Besides, we still have this thing."

He opened his palm, and in his hand was a strand of bright red hair, which was the taboo sequence C-The Hunting Net.

Only then did Yang Yiyi breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't notice at all in her heart that since the appearance of Bai Mo, her thinking about the crisis has subconsciously relaxed a lot, as if the burden on her body has been shared.

Everyone continued to move forward, and it didn't take long before they saw a village not far ahead.

As Yang Yiyi described, the village seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the houses were dilapidated, and the roads were covered with weeds. At this time, the sky had dimmed, adding a bit of gloom to the village.

At this moment, Yang Yiyi suddenly became vigilant and said, "Be careful, there may be something inside."

Bai Mo looked down at the overwhelmed weeds on the road, and said calmly: "This kind of trace is more like left by people, and it only appeared recently. Maybe someone has the same idea as us and regards this place as a Temporary residence."

Yang Yiyi frowned slightly. Oftentimes meeting people of the same kind outside is not necessarily a good thing, and may even make the situation worse.

But now that Bai Mo was the bodyguard, she was fearless, reminding the children in a low voice to be careful, and then walked into the village first.

The village is silent, and the soil under your feet is very soft, as if it has been soaked in water for a long time. There are stumps and dried blood in many corners, which seem to have existed for a long time.

But everyone has long been accustomed to this, and even the children are not too scared.

Yang Yiyi looked around vigilantly, looking for a relatively intact house, preparing to use it as a foothold for tonight, but at this moment, she suddenly looked not far away, and said solemnly: "There is a fire there. "

Bai Mo had already noticed the fire over there, not only the fire, he also saw a group of figures, about a dozen of them, with a faint scent wafting from his nose, as if they were roasting something.

If it was before, Yang Yiyi would definitely make up her own mind, but now that Bai Mo is by her side, she decided to ask for his opinion, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go over and say hello?"

"no need."

Bai Mo didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.

However, although he didn't want to say hello, the other party had already spotted them at this time. Several people walked over from the houses on both sides with various weapons, and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

"Passing by, we plan to rest here for the night."

Yang Yiyi knew that Bai Mo didn't care about this kind of negotiation, so she explained aloud.

The other party sized them up and asked doubtfully, "The world is so dangerous now, how many children are there still wandering around?"…

"We were entrusted to take them to their relatives." Yang Yiyi said sincerely, "This village is so big, we can choose a room at random, and we won't disturb you."

"That won't work."

"what happened?"

They obviously had doubts about the arrival of Bai Mo and the 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 this group of people. They quickly reported the situation and raised their doubts.

"Passing by..."

The man was thin and thin, but his right arm was extremely thick, which seemed to be made of machinery. He distributed the meat skewers in his hands to several people and said, "You have worked hard, eat first, there are still a lot over there, change them later." You can eat whatever you want when you are on duty."

Then he put his eyes on Bai Mo and the others and asked, "Can you tell me where your destination is?"

"Boundless City."

Yang Yiyi came as soon as she opened her mouth, obviously not intending to tell the truth, "I heard that couples can enter the city in that place, we plan to try it, the relatives of these children are also nearby."

"I see... But I heard that the requirements for entering the city are not low, the two of you should make preparations 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 there's someone to take care of them." The man waved his hand and said.

The woman next to him smiled gently and asked, "Have you guys eaten? We happened to have grilled some kebabs. Would you like to come over and have some?"

She raised the meat skewers in her hands, and the strong aroma made several children swallow their saliva.

Yang Yiyi was about to refuse, but Bai Mo said first, "This is enough for you."

Hearing this, the woman was slightly taken aback, while the others complained in their hearts, saying that this guy is really rude, 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."

While introducing herself, the woman 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, so that you can make a fire at night. Also, maybe it's because this place is close to the water abyss of the B-level restricted area, but there is nothing in the village at night. Creatures appear in the restricted area, but it is best not to run around, especially not to leave the village."

Wu Ziwen kindly reminded her, and then she was about to leave with everyone.

In her opinion, everyone just met by chance, and it's good to form a good relationship, there is no need to deliberately make friends.

And at this moment, Bai Mo behind her suddenly said: "These things are usually big, and the meat is still delicious, but it's best not to eat too much, otherwise you will get dizzy and enter a weak state."

Wu Ziwen was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and smiled at him.

"thanks for reminding."

After saying that, he turned and left.
