Chapter 260: The Tragic Fate
"I know... don't worry, I won't let down my guard. Besides, if it's really a trap, we shouldn't be afraid!" Chen Xingying said confidently.
"Of course..." Alice finally agreed with Chen Xingying's words.
Along the way, Chen Xingying saw several people sitting on the street. Like Xiao Chu and the others, they all had physical mutations. Some were more serious and some were less severe. They were all attracted by Chen Xingying's arrival and turned their attention to him.
She even stopped what she was doing, making Chen Xingying feel very uncomfortable!
"Here we are, right here on the first floor." Xiao Chu stopped in front of an apartment building.
"By the way, Master, who were you talking to there just now?" Xiao Chu asked suddenly.
"I know this, it's his artificial intelligence!" the boy replied eagerly.
"Yes, that's right, it's the latest voice smart assistant device." Chen Xingying took out Alice and picked it up to show her.
"I see... It seems that I have been disconnected from the outside world for too long." Xiao Chu said and led Chen Xingying into the building.
Although the building looks very old from the outside, at least the first floor inside is still very clean when you walk in. This is a sign that people have been living there.
Xiao Chu took out the key and opened the door to his home. Then the two children immediately opened the door and rushed in.
"Grandma, we are back!" Xiao Chu walked into his house, and Chen Xingying followed suit.
"Okay, you came back quite early today." At this time, an old man slowly walked out with a cane... You can see that half of her face has also mutated.
"Who are you?" The old man directly saw Chen Xingying who entered the room together.
"Ah, he is my friend. He is my master in the Taoyuan world that I have always mentioned to you before." Xiao Chu introduced Chen Xingying to his grandmother.
"That's it, that's it. Since he is Xiao Chu's master, he is an honored guest. You can sit wherever you like. Sissi, don't just play around and make tea for the guests!" Grandma greeted Chen Xingying warmly and gave instructions to the two
kid.
"Ah, you're welcome." Chen Xingying said and sat on the chair brought by Xiao Chu.
"Our place has changed since the natural disaster. Everyone in the county has contracted this strange disease...I haven't seen any outsiders coming for a long time. For a time, I thought other people had forgotten us." Grandma sat down.
Said with a sigh on the sofa in front of Chen Xingying.
"So what exactly happened that day? All I know from the outside world is that this place was affected by the attack in Nangang City." Chen Xingying seemed to be impatient to ask.
"This is what happened that day." Xiao Chu seemed to have finished what she was doing and sat next to her grandma.
"That day I was preparing to go out to Sister Xiaolin's city, but not long after I left, a disaster occurred... A violently shining green light spread over Nangang City. The powerful energy generated by the shock wave of the meteorite hitting the ground even reached here.
After that, the army sealed the place and no one was allowed to go out or come in...
Then... something terrible happened. One day after two months of lockdown, everyone in the county noticed changes in their bodies.
Everyone became surprised and frightened. The medical supplies in the county hospital were exhausted and no improvement was seen. Everyone could only watch as the mutation of their bodies worsened day by day... until one day it completely turned into another terrifying appearance...
But suddenly from a certain day, the mutations in the people in the county suddenly stopped as promised. So life gradually returned to a relatively normal state... and then everyone discovered that there was no military blockade outside the county.
But everyone doesn’t dare to go out because they are afraid that people outside will see them like this. Occasionally, there are people who run away with this mutation, but there is no news after that..."
Xiao Chu just explained what happened to him in detail.
"What about these two children?" Chen Xingying looked at the two children who brought the filled water glasses to them, took the water glasses and thanked them before asking.
"These two children, their parents were working in Nangang on the day of the accident, just like my son and his wife... Xiao Chu took them in when he saw that they were in the same situation as him."
What grandma probably means is that Xiao Chu and these two children both lost their parents on the same day...
After all, this is the first tragedy I have seen recently... Chen Xingying took a big drink of water at the thought.
"So...Master, what have you encountered in the past two years? Where is Sister Xiaolin? Is she okay?" Xiao Chu began to ask Chen Xingying anxiously.
"I don't know... Speaking of this..."
After that, Chen Xingying told Xiao Chu what she had experienced in the past two years... Of course, she concealed the jump armor and the space base. She only said that she had left the Gesang organization and was investigating the current situation of the place that was attacked two years ago in the name of a reporter.
.
"It turns out that something like this happened..." Xiao Chu's eyes were filled with tears... especially when he heard that Xiaopeng had sacrificed his life, he had already begun to cry loudly.
"Sister, don't be sad!" The two children ran over to comfort Xiao Chu very sensibly.
Chen Xingying didn't know what to say for a moment. Should she go there to comfort her? But in fact, she had not yet recovered from the pain in her heart, and she was not qualified to comfort others.
Then when I saw the miserable situation of Xiao Chu and his family, I couldn't help but feel some resentment in my heart.
…
After a long time, Xiao Chu's mood gradually calmed down with grandma's comfort.
"So Master, you are going to Sister Xiaolin's city next?" Xiao Chu asked after calming down.
"Well, yes, according to reliable information, their place is likely to become a new attack point." Chen Xingying nodded and said.
"So aren't you just a reporter now? Why do you still want to go there? Isn't it more dangerous?" Xiao Chu asked anxiously.
"As long as we can escape before danger comes." Chen Xingying could only make up such a not-so-smart lie.
"Okay...Actually, you are worried about Sister Xiaolin. If possible, I hope you can rescue her...," Xiao Chu said sincerely.
"Don't worry, I will! Try my best!" Chen Xingying looked at her firmly and said. Xiao Chu looked at him and lowered his head.
"Don't worry, I will report the situation here to my superior organization when I get back. I will definitely save you!" Xiao Chu and the two children sent Chen Xingying out of the house.
Although Chen Xingying wanted to stay here for a while to learn more about the situation, it was already getting late, and the top priority was the limited mission.
But just as Chen Xingying reached the street entrance, a group of people blocked his way.
