Chapter 39 Crisis(1/2)

The United Front Work Department of the Sixth District, the 14th floor, teaching and public facilities floor.

Zhang Min held Cassia's hand and went to the preparatory class - the entrance examination here is in August and the school starts in September. Many of the children of military personnel are here, including civilians.

According to Zhang Min's identity, he should not enter the sixth district. However, Wu Shuangshuang brought them here, and Meng Jianguo also issued a note. As a retired soldier, Zhang Min signed a document. Once needed, he would go to the army to serve and would be summoned at any time, but he also had the opportunity to go home to visit his son every day.

At the same time, Zhang Min also filled out an application for a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, willing to open a small clinic in the sixth district without any remuneration, as long as the state guarantees his food and accommodation with Cassia.

The two applications are still in line, but Cassin has a chance to go to school because of the first document, of course, just an opportunity.

Each floor of the underground shelter camp can accommodate millions of people, and the space is very vast. The place where Zhang Min and Cassin live is on the thirteenth floor like Liu Yan.

He brought Cassia to class every day, so he found a public cafeteria outside the school to wait, and went to pick him up for lunch.

After lunch, Zhang Min sat on a bench in the park, lay down on his thighs and slept for a while, continued class in the afternoon, and came out to have dinner in the evening and went home.

That day, Zhang Min came out to buy a cup of coffee, sat in the cafeteria, and flipped through the free newspaper - a thick stack, which could be taken back to lay a panda nest.

Zhang Min promised Cassia that after the entrance examination, no matter how long it passed, he could adopt a white Chow Chow without a master, then dye his eyes darkened and keep it in the dormitory.

He flipped through the newspaper casually, and the headline was: [The United Front Command has made initial progress, and more than 100 million rescued people in the country have reached the end.] He flipped through it casually, and the deputy version is political and ideological education, and you can vaguely see your dissatisfaction with the Scientific Research Center of the Seventh District.

International News Page: About 90% of the world's regions have fallen.

【Africa, Latin American countries migrate to Antarctica】

[African residents left the Cape of Good Hope and evacuated towards Antarctica. A fully loaded cruise ship broke out on the way and lost communication when they arrived at the Ross ice shelf. Half a month later, they entered the Queens Islands with ocean currents. Zombie virus polluted the Antarctic continent. Fortunately, the temperature was cold and it was spreading towards East Antarctica and Vinson Heights.] [Three days after the United States threatened that a phased breakthrough in vaccine development, a mutant virus outbreak broke out in the Alaska laboratory. All researchers died in the Alaska laboratory...] [In India, there may be an inhuman virus experiment.

Elephant, fiercely criticized by the EU] [Kim Jong-nam brought a large number of nuclear warheads to the North Pacific rescue center, causing disputes with Japan] [Today's Oaks virus, or the remains of Unit 731 during the war of aggression against China?] [General Zweig, the executioner of human beings, a supporter of the Nazi thought...] Zhang Min turned a page, and the sub-version was followed by a column as the size of a tofu block. It was all about the oral narrative of people who escaped from the disaster, telling the story of the days that were unbearable to look back on. At the end, all reminded all the residents of the shelter to cherish today and encourage the people to have confidence in the future.

The entertainment section is a story of a group of down-and-out stars. Headlines: [Tang Yixiao returns safely, tens of thousands of fans are in tears] Zhang Min: "..."

Foreign life is in dire straits, and our country's life is beautiful - the spirit of the news broadcast, nothing is good to watch, I've finished reading.

A woman opposite was staring at Zhang Min suspiciously. Zhang Min turned the newspaper from behind and stopped on one of the pages.

It was a small forum in a remote section.

[Abstract of the Seventh District Academic Journal, the fundamental reason for the virus outbreak may be a self-cleaning of the earth's environment.] (The column is accompanied by comments from the military's scientific research experts, with fierce words, and refuting the theory of the Seventh District one by one)

When Zhang Min saw that the column writer and organizer was Xie Fenghua, he couldn't help but smile. The little girl found a good job.

The TV wall on the side of the canteen sounded.

Female host: "Major General Meng, you may have to face many troubles today, and you must be mentally prepared."

The man's voice: "Every time you say that, isn't it?"

The female host smiled and said: "The Seventh District Natural Environment Group and ancient culture pointed out that the source of the virus brought by this ocean current may have existed during the Cambrian Ice Age 950 million years ago. How do you view this issue?"

The man's voice: "We have received countless reports from District 7."

Zhang Min looked up and almost had an illusion that Meng Feng was sitting in the interview room.

Her face is a bit similar, and her temperament is so similar that she can no longer be like her. Zhang Min will immediately know who she is.

Meng Jianguo gestured, his voice calm and calm: "These reports are stacked on my desk and can be stacked to the ceiling."

The audience laughed.

"The reasons for each hypothesis are completely different. Astronomers believe it is the experimental waste thrown by aliens on Earth; archaeologists believe it is the root cause of the Mayan disappearance; biologists believe it is the cause of the evolution of natural tracts, and theologians... don't ask me, I don't know how they got into the seventh zone. They think it was Pandora's box leaked."

This passage caused laughter in the cafeteria. Meng Jianguo was over forty years old, but he was a handsome officer, friendly and heroic, and a very charming general.

At this time, he was the most appropriate person to appear in the military.

Meng Jianguo said again: "There is something even more outrageous. I remember a geneticist pointed out that this virus will eventually promote the evolution of the entire population for humans, allowing humans to become a brand new species and open up a new era on Earth. The implication is that it is obvious that we are planning to inject viruses into us."

The audience laughed again, and the female host smiled and said, "So what did Major General Meng think? Which report is most appropriate to the current situation?"

"Compared to what the military thinks." Meng Jianguo said: "I hope that the Seventh District will unify their internal conflicts before submitting the proposal. I don't want every time the door of Hongqiao opens, there will be such a large stack of … science fiction-like materials."

The female host smiled and said, "What plan will Major General Meng take in the near future? I heard that the search and rescue troops have encountered many troubles that they have never faced?"

Meng Jianguo thought for a while and replied: "Everything has made progress and the situation is under the control of the military. Please wait and see."

"Zhang Min?" said the woman in the seat opposite.

Zhang Min has been attracted by the show, and now he is called out and turns his head like thunder.

"Sister-in-law?" Zhang Min said in disbelief.

"You are still alive... Zhang Min?!" The woman stood up and said, "How could you be here! Who sent you here?"

The woman was Wang Bo's wife Xiao Li. Zhang Min got up. The woman came over to hug him in tears. Zhang Min patted her shoulder and signaled her to rest. She found a table to sit down and went to buy her a cup of coffee.

Xiao Li had red eyes and choked up, "Where is your elder brother and Shanshan?"

Zhang Min: "I... talk about you first, you are alone? Sister-in-law, I thought you were dead, why are you here?"

Xiao Li said: "That day, Lao Wang and I quarreled back to my parents' home. On the same day, I said that rabies broke out outside. I didn't know the actual situation and couldn't contact Lao Wang by phone. I followed my friend into the retreating car."

Zhang Min comforted: "That's good, Brother Wang..."

"Is he dead?" Xiao Li asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Shanshan?"

Zhang Min talked about his first meeting with Wang Bo once, skipped the process of the disease, and finally sighed.

"I fled with a few friends." Zhang Min said truthfully: "I was finally picked up by the military and came only in April."

Xiao Li looked at the coffee in sorrow and said nothing.

Zhang Min said: "Your friend is a soldier?"

Xiao Li said: "He is the brigade commander of the East China Military Region."

Zhang Min immediately understood, he sighed and said nothing, nodded.

"The past is over." Zhang Min pondered for a moment, and then said, "Life well, sister-in-law."

"Are you waiting for the Cassia to end?" Xiao Li wiped her tears and asked again.

Zhang Min smiled and nodded, asking, "Where are you?"

Xiao Li said: "My friend's daughter is taking a tutoring exam. Today I will wait for the test to be divided into classes. I will help him... pick him up and drop him off."

Before he finished speaking, someone came over behind Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li."

Xiao Li hurriedly got up and asked, "Why are you here?"

The person who came was a middle-aged officer in his forties and looked very graceful. Xiao Li hurriedly introduced him, but Zhang Min didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he got up to shake hands with him.

"Hello, Colonel Yang."

Xiao Li introduced: "This is my good friend, Wang Bo's younger brother, Zhang Min."

After a few greetings between the two sides, Officer Yang asked, "Your son is studying inside?"

Zhang Min smiled and said, "I'm Zhang Jueming, I'm an adopted son, uh... let's take a look."

He glanced at his watch and it was almost time for school. Officer Yang stood up, Xiao Li wiped her tears and whispered: "Why are you here?"

Officer Yang said: "There is nothing to deal with. I'm back early. Why? Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Li nodded and choked, "Old Wang and Shanshan..."

Officer Yang sighed and touched her head. The two of them voiced a little less. Zhang Min was waiting at the school gate. After a while, Officer Yang's daughter came out and several people stood by the aisle. Officer Yang asked his daughter to call someone.

The girl was about the same age as Cassin. She was listening to music with her headphones. She glanced at Zhang Min with her head tilted, then looked at Xiao Li suspiciously without saying a word.

Zhang Min took the initiative to say hello, but stood there without getting a response.

Officer Yang began to train his daughter, and Zhang Min hurriedly smoothed out and waited for a long time. Xiao Li originally planned to go out for a walk with Zhang Min in the afternoon, but now it seems that she has to give up.

When Zhang Min saw that Officer Yang's daughter was particularly impatient, he said tactfully: "You go to have a meal first, I'll wait for Cassia here."

Officer Yang smiled and said, "No, no, let's go together, I agreed. Your son's name is Cassia?"

Xiao Li looked uneasy. The girl vaguely heard the name, took off her headphones, looked at Zhang Min in confusion, and asked, "You are Cassia's father?!"

Zhang Min smiled politely and said, "Yes, he is in the same class as you? He is getting along well with his classmates."

The girl said, "He should go to a doctor to see it, I'm serious."

Zhang Min: “…”

Officer Yang immediately scolded: "Yang Yushan! How could he speak like this!"

Zhang Min hurriedly said, "It's okay, kid, don't scold her. Tell me what's wrong with Cassia?"

Yang Yushan said: "He spoke so strangely, not like a normal person. The teacher asked him to sit in the last row. He was like a ghost, not talking. He didn't stand up when asked questions. Everyone dictated, he sat still, and almost fought with someone last time."

"Didn't the fight start?" Zhang Min said: "Cassin never fights with people."

Officer Yang comforted: "It is normal for children to fight, it's nothing. Just fight and make a fuss."

Zhang Min felt a little sad and sighed.

Officer Yang's cell phone rang. It was a specially customized communicator from the military. He answered the phone with a serious expression and said, "Yes, yes."

Officer Yang received the phone and said, "In this way, I have an emergency task to carry out. Yushan, you and your aunt will go to dinner later, and Uncle Zhang Min, Dad will come back tonight."

"Hey! Old man!" Yang Yushan said unhappy.

Officer Yang didn't care about his daughter, and seemed to have something important to run to drive.
