Alien Dust

Chapter 23: Grown Up Again
……

The old city is no longer what it used to be.

There was an atmosphere of fleeing from famine and post-disaster everywhere.

Although some people still abide by the rules and live miserably in this messy world, with the emergence of more and more chaotic forces and groups, the original rules have been completely broken.

To make matters worse, the climate is still changing rapidly, with fierce winds howling over the city. From time to time, large amounts of debris can be seen being swept into the sky, and then falling down without any warning!

"We can't stay outside anymore." Wu Yingting braved the strong wind and began to tell Wu Hen using sign language.

The wind was so strong that it was difficult to speak.

Fortunately, the whole family knows sign language. Faced with the city shrouded in a sandstorm and their house burned down, they set out to find a new shelter.

"Dad, what are your plans?" Wu Hen asked.

"Do you remember the Tropical Pavilion I took you to?" Wu Yingting said.

All three of them nodded. The tropical museum was located on a small hill behind the school. It was hidden and not many people knew about it.

"The Tropical Pavilion has a basement, which I built myself. There is a tunnel deeper inside, which is an air-raid shelter connected to the school and shopping mall area. It's very suitable for our family," said Wu Yingting.

Hearing these words, Wu Hen's eyes lit up.

It turns out that dad has a trick up his sleeve!

The situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and many people have inexplicably fallen into another dimension, causing great panic. It is no exaggeration to say that we have entered the end of the world, and morality and law no longer constrain most people.

"But hiding like this is not a long-term solution." Yu Yi said.

"Mom, I'm not far from the Nuwa Divine Land. The two people who came to our house before promised me that as long as I can get there, they will provide protection for our family." Wu Hen said.

At this moment, Wu Hen realized how tempting the conditions Ming Yi offered him were!
Although my journey in the alien wasteland is bumpy, I am already very close to my goal. I just need to give myself some more time.

"Yes, let's try our best to buy time for Xiao Hen and make sure his real body is safe here when he walks in the wasteland..." Wu Yingting nodded.

Now their family's hopes rest on Wu Hen.

Wu Yingting knew that the vast majority of people in this world were abandoned, but there were still a small number of people who lived within the silver dome and inhabited the silver plate building.

These people do not need to worry about suffering from severe natural disasters, nor do they need to wander in chaotic and disordered areas. They are the pioneers of the other dimension, the people who have made contributions to the Nuwa goddess, and the ones who learned about the real world earlier.

All of Wu Yingting's previous investments were just to get these.

Unfortunately it still failed.

……

The wind was fierce and whipped my body like a whip.

The family wrapped their heads and faces with cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed.

The visibility in the city is very low, and it is covered with a yellow haze everywhere. In such a terrible climate, food cannot be grown and produced, so the people in the city are becoming more and more crazy in such a desperate situation.

Along the way, Wu Hen and his family also encountered people with bad intentions.

Cruelty is one of the rules of survival in the end times, but Wu Hen, who is holding a gun, obviously has the advantage in force.

When they saw people with guns, those vicious guys who gathered in groups of three or five did not dare to act rashly.

The streets are littered with abandoned vehicles.

There were many people in the cars trying to avoid the storm, but some were in a coma, as lifeless as vegetative people.

There were also people lying straight on the main street. I didn’t know whether they had fainted from hunger or were dragged into a different dimension while walking. In short, it was very difficult for them to survive.

"How many people have fallen into the other dimension this time?" Wu Hen asked his father.

"I'm not sure about the exact number, but there is at least one such person in a complete family," said Wu Yingting.

"About a quarter?" Wu Hen said.

"Well, the number should still be increasing. Of course, there are a few who have woken up. But after waking up, they seem to have become stupid and don't remember anything. It feels like they have become very abnormal..." Wu Yingting said.

"Husband, if someone dies while walking in the other dimension, does that mean he is completely dead?" Yu Yi asked.

"I can't really say, it seems like it can be divided into several situations," said Wu Yingting.

"Everyone is still in the exploratory stage, and the rules of the alien dimension give me a feeling that they may change at any time. We can only collect as much valuable information as possible..." Wu Hen said.

"What if we suddenly fall in too, will we be able to stay together?" Yu Yi was still a little worried.

"If it really happens, as long as you walk firmly in the direction of Nuwa's goddess, we will be able to meet again. Don't waver in this belief." Wu Hen said seriously.

Yu Yi and Yu Yu also nodded.

……

After arriving at the school, Wu Hen saw that there were still official alerts around the school.

There are limited order maintenance personnel, and now they can only be assigned to some relatively important areas. The rest who cannot be seen or supported can only fend for themselves.

"No entry is allowed for the time being." The order maintenance personnel were all armed and their tone was cold.

"I go to school here. What's going on inside?" Wu Hen asked.

"Many students and teachers have fallen into another dimension. We are giving them time to wake up." said the order maintenance personnel.

Wu Hen looked inside the school and found that many people wearing windproof clothing were carrying unconscious people one after another into the stadium.

The door of the stadium opened, and Wu Hen saw a huge crowd of students lying inside. They seemed peaceful, but lifeless, and some even looked in pain and struggle in their sleep... Obviously, this was the worst-hit area of ​​the Fallen Alien Dimension!!
How many of these people can actually come back???

"Captain of Security, a girl has woken up and is very conscious." At this time, a security guard ran over quickly and reported excitedly.

"Did she tell me how she woke up?" asked the Order officer.

"It seems that the soul resting tree has been found."

"The Soul's Resting Tree? Is it another way to return besides finding Yuanyou?" Chief Weixu asked puzzledly.

"Let's report it now. This information is very important. If we can inform everyone in advance, perhaps more people will wake up." said the team member.

"Well, very good. We will give this girl special protection. Her valuable experience will be of great help to us." said the officer.

There was a hint of a smile on the officer's face.

Someone returned from the wilderness in the area he was protecting and provided such important information, which was tantamount to a great achievement.

Let’s just say that these students are smart, and there will always be some who are clever and have strong adaptability.

If I could collect more valuable information, or if one or two awakened people emerged, maybe I could move up a level!
Commander Weixu was immersed in joyful anticipation when he was suddenly struck by a strong sense of sleepiness, causing his body to shake.

"Sir?"

The team members nearby quickly noticed something was wrong and immediately came over to help.

But the officer's consciousness was rapidly fading, and his body fell straight to the ground...

The order maintenance personnel around were all shocked. They never expected that the officer who was still sighing about the pity of these students the moment before would actually go down as well!

"Carry your leader inside. He won't wake up in a short time." Wu Hen witnessed the whole process and kindly reminded the bewildered order maintenance personnel.

"Student, do you want to go in for shelter?" one of the female security guards asked.

"Can my family go in together?" Wu Hen asked.

The female security guard shook her head.

They also have regulations. If anyone can be let in, then their limited power will not be able to maintain order for long.

"That's okay. I'd rather stay with my family." Wu Hen waved his hand.

It’s not that Wu Hen doesn’t want to be protected, it’s that these order-maintaining personnel can’t even protect themselves.

Besides, this is just a temporary shelter.

It is better to trust your own father than to trust them.

……

After passing the school, the family headed towards the back mountain.

Found the hidden tropical pavilion.

As expected, the place had been occupied by someone, and they were very hostile towards the arrival of Wu Hen's family.

"Old Ling, it's me. I donated to build this small building." Wu Yingting stood at the door and said to the people in the room.

"I don't care whether you built it or bought it, this place belongs to me now. Go away, go away!" The impatient voice of a middle-aged man was soon heard in the restaurant.

"There are only four of us in my family. We won't cause you any trouble, and we can help each other..." Wu Yingting continued.

"Get out! Get out! Do you think you are still the master you used to be?" the middle-aged old man said very dissatisfiedly.

"Old Ling, we're not living here for free," Wu Yingting continued.

"If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude to you..."

"boom!!"

Suddenly, there was a deafening gunshot, and the old man inside was so frightened that he shrank back before he could even utter a word.

My brother Hen, the social leader, stood grimly in front of the door, the muzzle of his gun still smoking, and said, "Dad, why bother talking to this old bitch!"

This museum was built with my father's money.

Lao Ling is just a gatekeeper, but he really treats this restaurant as his home!

"Crunch~~"

After a while, the door opened.

The one who welcomed Wu Hen's family was Ling Shaomei, one of the housekeepers who used to work at the Wu family estate.

Next to Ling Shaomei, there was a timid old man who was obviously frightened. He was even more respectful than when he was working at the Wu Group.

"Old Ling, troubled times are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom..." Wu Yingting walked in and patted the shivering old man Ling.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Old man Ling was sweating profusely. He nodded quickly and looked like he was welcoming the master and the young master home.

Old Man Ling led Wu Yingting, Yu Yi and Yu Yu into the museum.

Wu Hen was at the back and locked the door.

Wu Hen glanced at the arrogant woman next door who looked like a cold sister, but couldn't help but smile, and said in a familiar teasing tone: "Sister Shaomei, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have grown up a lot."
