"Okay." Qu Xiao could only sigh helplessly when he saw this, and returned his attention to the roster in his hand. He quietly lowered his head and looked through it.

Time passed quietly, and the two of them silently looked through the rosters in the house one after another. However, Qu Xiao soon realized the stupidity of doing so, even though Lai had indeed told him his mother's name before.

However, the names and records in these rosters are not necessarily true.

In other words, even if the old man is really sent to this place, his name may not be recorded. Qu Xiao immediately told this idea to Zhao Sancheng. The latter was a little discouraged after hearing this. He asked Qu Xiao what to do next.

what to do.

"If we can't judge the situation through the recorded files, then the only way left is to 'ask directly'."

"On the contrary, I think we should have done this from the beginning." Qu Xiao said, "Although it is very dangerous."

"Those guys will report us." Zhao Sancheng continued, "We are not staff here at all. If we are found sneaking in by ourselves, they probably won't let us go so easily."

"But didn't you say that the black market is not under the control of the police?"

"The police can't control it, but the black market also has its own law enforcement unit." Zhao Sancheng swallowed and said, "Compared to the police, these guys are more like gangsters. If we fall into their hands, we may not be able to survive.

Walk."

"It's so serious..." Qu Xiao also fell silent after hearing this. Obviously, he didn't want to get into more trouble.

But now, if they don't ask the staff here, they may not be able to learn more about the old man's situation. After much hesitation, Qu Xiao suddenly had an idea: "There is someone who will definitely not expose us."

"You mean... let's go find that old man again?" Zhao Sancheng felt that this suggestion was not very reliable, "But didn't you show her the photo before? She said she had never seen the person in the photo.

.”

"Just because she hasn't seen it doesn't mean that others haven't seen it." Qu Xiao changed the topic, "Let me ask you, do you think her situation is an exception?"

"What do you mean? Do you think there are old people like her sneaking in here?"

Qu Xiao nodded: "This building is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Look at the portrait on this magnetic card. Don't you think this woman looks familiar?"

"This person... seems to be the one who greeted us when we first came in!" Zhao Sancheng secretly exclaimed. At this time, he also understood the confidence in Qu Xiao's words, "Is there someone secretly keeping someone here?!"

"It should be like this." Qu Xiao smiled and continued, "Logically speaking, everyone should have one of these magnetic cards. However, due to lax management, even if outsiders don't wear magnetic cards, no one will interfere with their own business. Therefore,

, this kind of magnetic card becomes something similar to a life-saving charm, only

If someone holds this kind of magnetic card, he can justifiably blend in with the regular employees. Fatty, do you still remember that when we came in earlier, almost none of the front desk staff were wearing this kind of magnetic card? You said they have identification.

If they didn’t take it with them, where did they go?”

"I completely understand what you mean." Zhao Sancheng suddenly realized at this time, "In that case, let's look around secretly."

So the two of them left the archives room and wandered around in the control area. There were not many staff here, and most of them were working hard with their arms exposed, because their attention was focused on the machines they were operating.

Even though the two of them didn't deliberately hide their figures, no one noticed them.

Carefully walking back and forth among the multiple incineration workshops, Qu Xiao suddenly saw that familiar figure. At this time, the old man disguised as a cleaner was talking to someone in front of him. Qu Xiao and Zhao Sancheng directly

He walked forward and interrupted the conversation between the two when the old man looked a little flustered.

At this moment - Qu Xiao's pupils suddenly narrowed!

The person the old man was chatting with... was actually the woman in the photo!

"Are you...Ms. Loya?!"

Somewhat awkwardly, he called out this slightly obscure title. This name was the name Lai told Qu Xiao about his mother.

The blond old woman was startled when she heard the name. She looked at Qu Xiao with a look that was not only surprised but also a little doubtful. It was obvious that Luo Ya didn't know why Qu Xiao knew her real name.

, this name has not been called by anyone for many, many years.

"You are..." Luo Ya looked at Qu Xiao and hesitated to speak.

However, Qu Xiao said very excitedly: "You definitely don't know me, but you should know Lai, right?"

"Lai..." the woman muttered secretly, and then she suddenly realized that as Lai's mother, the old man's thinking was quite quick. She immediately guessed the purpose of Qu Xiao's visit. This should be arranged by her son to find him.

own subordinates.

"Is he okay now? My poor child, I haven't heard from him for many years since he was taken away from the shelter a few years ago..."

"Don't worry, madam, Commander Lai is doing well here." Qu Xiao replied, "He learned about your coming to this shelter through a tip, so he specially arranged for me to come up and meet with you to confirm the situation.

I'm relieved to see you're okay."

"So that's it..." The woman gave Qu Xiao a warm hug, "I'm sorry that I didn't take the initiative to contact him. In fact, I don't know anything about Lai at all. Where is he, sir? It's far away from here.

"It's not far." Qu Xiao told the truth, "In fact, they are in the containment base under this shelter."

"Oh my god, I didn't expect my child to be so close to me..." Loya was a little lost, "Well, let's change places first. It's too messy here, not suitable for reminiscing about the past."

"good."

…

After following Loya for a while, they entered a small room where cleaning tools were stored. The space inside was closed and small. After closing the door, they felt instantly safe.

After confirming that there were no ears or eyes around, Luo Ya learned more about Lai from Qu Xiao. After learning that his son now held an important position in the base, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

"Ms. Luo Ya, with all due respect, I would like to ask why you appear here?" Qu Xiao finally got the chance to ask the question, "Did you get sent here by those guys at the border?"

"Yes." Luo Ya nodded, and then she told Qu Xiao about her experiences along the way. Only then did Qu Xiao know that Luo Ya was not alone when he was expelled from the original shelter. A total of more than 2,000 people were expelled together, and Loya was just one of the more than 2,000 people.

Then, with the arduous trek along the way, the large team of more than 2,000 people suffered a sharp attrition. When they finally arrived at this shelter alive, the size of the more than 2,000 people had been reduced to less than 200 people, and among the remaining Among the more than 100 people, there are also many old, weak, sick and disabled.

"It's not just luck that we are able to survive all the way here. It's all the people who died who used their lives to pave the way for us."

Luo Ya explained to Qu Xiao that the situation along the way was very dangerous. Normally, the old, weak, sick and disabled like her would be eliminated from the team soon after setting off, but the result was unexpected. This team was Under the leadership of a man named "Biff", it became an unusually united group.

They abide by the principle of "young and old go first". When encountering an accident, they will give priority to safely sending away the weaker members of the team. Although this approach is not in line with the laws of survival in the apocalypse, it is in line with Qu Xiao's inner determination. human nature.

Qu Xiao had a hunch that the identity of the man named "Biff" must be not simple, but when he asked Loya where Biff was now, Loya was silent.

It was the other old man next to her who answered: "Biff is dead. The night before we were about to arrive at this shelter, the camp where we slept was attacked by a swarm of desert insects. Biff was in the process of arranging the team. Surrounded by the swarm of insects, we managed to escape, but he stayed in that desert forever..."

Speaking of this, the two old men felt very heavy. Even the two listeners, Qu Xiao and Zhao Sancheng, could not help but remain silent at this time. After a while, Luo Ya continued to tell what happened next. It turned out that it was not an accidental choice for their group to come to this shelter, but from the very beginning, Biff had confirmed that the team's destination was this shelter.

As for the reason...

Loya didn't want to say anything.

Although she insisted that she didn't know the reason, Qu Xiao could still tell that she was deliberately concealing it.

But at the moment, this matter is not what Qu Xiao urgently needs to know. After learning that Luo Ya is safe and sound, his mission has actually been completed.

"It is indeed a helpless move for us to lurk here now. It is too dangerous outside this city of refuge. Now we can barely stay here to save our lives for the time being. My little friend, please go back and tell me the situation here directly. Just wait, tell him by the way, if he really wants to come to me, he must not act without permission in the recent period."

"Why is this?" Qu Xiao was confused, "Ms. Luo Ya, don't you want Lai to come and pick you up?"

"I still have some things of my own to do." Loya said with firm eyes, "After finishing all the things, I will go find him myself."

"this……"

"Okay, let's end this conversation here." Luo Ya shook his head and was not ready to answer Qu Xiao's questions any more. Even though Qu Xiao still had a lot of questions in his heart at this time, he was no match for Luo Ya. Despite Ya's willingness to see off guests, he was eventually kicked out by the two old men.

When they came to the corridor outside, Zhao Sancheng said: "It's really strange... Their current situation is so difficult, why do they refuse the help you may provide?"

"I don't know either." Qu Xiao was also very confused at this time. He really didn't know what Luo Ya was trying so hard to hide...
