Hongmo continued to search for recent news online. There was one thing that Hongmo was curious. Until now, no one came to hunt him down, and the matter of the institute had not been spread. This was very unreasonable. What happened.

2024.11.03, an earthquake occurred in the Taihang Mountains, and the ground cracked a large crack that was several kilometers wide and nearly 100 kilometers long.

The earthquake is really a disaster. Hongmo continued to read it and found that it seemed that it was not as simple as an earthquake. There are a lot of news about the earthquake on the Internet, but it is all superficial information and there is nothing worth paying attention to.

According to official news, the earthquake occurred in the Taihang Mountains and the harm caused was not great. However, the country attaches great importance to it and is investigating relevant information.

It was so abnormal, Hongmo closed her eyes.

Logically speaking, if an earthquake is so big, you have to report it online, why don’t you even have a clear picture, only relevant text information?

As the messages were browsing one by one, Hongmo gradually became disappointed. Suddenly, Hongmo saw a message of "Picture of the Taihang Mountain Earthquake" and clicked in.

Empty.

But there is a saying, please enter my space...

Hongmo originally wanted to treat it as spam, but by some reason, Hongmo clicked on the space. Then in the space album, Hongmo saw a picture.

This picture was obviously not taken close, or even taken in the air with a helicopter, but more like a satellite picture.

A red gap was cracked on the lush earth. Judging from the picture, this gap was like a "dragon" with claws. Moreover, from the picture, there was a thick red light around this "dragon".

That's right, the title of the picture is also a photo of the Taihang Mountain earthquake.

It's really strange. How could earthquakes have such a landform? What is the red thing? Well, there's no need to dig into these things now. But Hongmo finally understood the initial doubts.

2024.11.03, an earthquake occurred. 2024.11.05, and the institute was invaded. Today is 2024.11.09, and no news about the institute has been reported.

The whole thing was connected into a complete line in Hongmo's mind. Is the country's energy involved in the earthquake? Is it really full of luck?

"Lingyin, let's go home." Hongmo greeted Lingyin next to him and stood up and left. This little guy was watching cats and mice. He didn't expect that after so long, he could actually find this cartoon in the Internet cafe.

"Oh." Lingyin took off her headphones and followed Hongmo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hongmo's hometown is in Mianyang City. He did not take the train because he needed an ID card to buy a ticket, and Hongmo did not want to expose the news easily. After several long-distance transfers, Hongmo came to Mianyang with a bell tone.

The changes were very big. Hongmo looked at the strange scenes around him. Fortunately, the place name had not changed at least. Along the way, the past rural areas disappeared. After being developed, various tall buildings stood on this land. Hongmo couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.

Hopefully, I can find a ‘home’.

Following the blurred memories in my mind, Hongmo walked towards home. The more he walked, the more confused Hongmo became. This is too desolate. Didn’t there be many homes nearby before, why can’t the whole family see it now?

Under a small hill, Hongmo saw his "home".

At this moment, Hongmo's eyes were filled with tears. He kept escaping, wanting not to think about the affairs of his home. But at this moment, Hongmo realized that the "home" had long been buried deep in his heart.

Dad, mom, what are you doing now?

Hongmo wiped his eyes and walked towards the broken "home" below the mountain. Nearby, there were a few pieces of land and some side dishes were planted. Hongmo felt a little relieved, which showed that at least there were still people.

"Is anyone here?" Hongmo stood in the weedy courtyard with a bell tone and shouted into it.

"Hey, who, I'll open the door right away." A voice came from the room.

With a creaking sound, the dilapidated door was pushed open, and a white-haired old woman appeared in Hongmo's eyes. The moment the two of them looked at each other, the whole world was immersed in it.

"You are, Mo'er?" The old woman suddenly spoke.

"Mom, it's me, I'm Hongmo." Tears surged in Hongmo's eyes, and his heart was filled with guilt and regret. This is my mother, she has gray hair.

"Dad, don't cry." Hong Lingyin looked at her father strangely and pulled Hongmo's hand.

"Really, it's Mo'er, you..." Hong Mo's mother also looked in disbelief and looked full of surprise.

"Mom, it's me, it's me. Look, the scar on the back of my head, I fell naughtyly when I was a child." At this point, Hongmo was stunned for a moment before remembering that since he had the ability to regenerate at high speed, the scar had long disappeared.

Hong Mother didn't pursue these things, just kept saying, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." After a while, her whole body was already in tears.

"Where is Dad?"

"Oh, come in first, I'll tell you." Hong Mother sighed and led Hongmo into the room. The room was very dim, and Hongmo found that there was not even a light.

After sitting down, Hongmo explained to Hongmo the changes over the past decade.

Ten years ago, Hongmo was seriously injured and dying and was taken to the North Institute Research Institute. Hongmo's parents received the news that Hongmo had committed a major incident and was arrested, and did not even tell the two elders where they were detained.

Moreover, since then, the two elders' lives have been subject to many difficulties and their lives have become even more difficult. Fortunately, most of the neighbors nearby are good people, and if they can help, everyone will still help.

Then, starting from 2016, alienated creatures began to appear in the world one after another. These alienated creatures are not very powerful, but they are definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with. Information about humans being killed by alienated creatures has been spread all over the country. In response to this situation, the country has established more communities to allow people to live together.

However, Hongmo's parents were told that they did not have this qualification.

When Hongmo heard this, her eyes turned cold!

After the community was completed, all the neighbors nearby moved away and the houses were demolished. In a few years, the place became a barren mountain. Only Hongmo's parents supported him and still lived here.

However, Hongmo's father was also attacked by an alienated creature three years ago and died.

On the day Hongmo's father was buried, no one came to mourn. Hongmo's parents were forgotten. Then Hongmo's mother also let go. When can't survive, she will die like this.

Hongmo continued to plant several nearby pieces of land, plant some home-cooked side dishes, and maintain a simple life in a self-sufficient manner.

Hongmo raised her head, not wanting to let her tears be seen, but tears rolled down her cheeks. Guilt, incomparable guilt, impacted Hongmo's heart. He was really an unfilial son...

"By the way, Mo'er, who is this little girl?" Hongmu asked suddenly.

"Mom, this is my daughter, ringtone. ringtone, called mother-in-law." Hongmo led the ringtone over.

"You, daughter?" Hongmo's face was filled with joy and stroked Lingyin's smooth hair. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll feel relieved when you have a daughter, what about her mother?"

Hongmo hesitated, and then said softly: "Die."

"Oh, a miserable child." Hongmo did not go into it. She just kept looking at the cute ringtone. The family reunion was not complete, but she also felt a little joyful. Hongmomo pulled a few vegetables in the field and stir-fried a few home-cooked dishes.

The kitchen was pitch black, only the firelight in the stove was reflected. Here, even the electricity was no longer available. Hongmo helped my mother to work hard.

"Where is the oil?" Hongmo asked suddenly.

"Oil? Oh, I forgot, I haven't bought oil for several years." Hong Mother patted her head, as if she thought of something.

Hongmo couldn't help but feel sore in his nose. What kind of life did his mother live in the past ten years? She didn't even have oil to cook. "It's okay, just cook like this." Hongmo said.

Hongmo, Lingyin and Hongmo gathered around the shabby table and ate the happiest lunch in ten years. Although the dishes were very simple, there was no oil or water. The rice was also brown rice and the bran shell was clearly visible. However, this meal was still the happiest meal Hongmo had eaten the happiest meal.

Hong Lingyin was also very well-behaved and ate the white food silently.

"Mom, I want to tell you something." After dinner, Hongmo wanted to explain to her mother what happened over the past ten years. However, Hongmo shook her hand and her face was full of kindness.

"Mo'er, I know what you want to say, but no need, your father and I have always believed in you. No matter how you do it, there are your own reasons. You are no longer a child." Hongmo smiled.

Hongmo's words were blocked by Hongmo's heart. After a while, she choked up: "Well, I know what to do."

After a while of rest, Hongmo took Lingyin to worship his father, Lingyin's grandfather. Hong's tomb was a small mound of soil on the side of the road. If he didn't know, no one would find that this was a tomb.

"Mo'er." Hongmo said suddenly.

"kindness?"

"After I die, I will bury it next to your father, and there is no need to do anything, just bury it." Hong Mother said softly.

"Mom, what did you say? I'm back, you still have to live a good life." Hongmo was shocked.

"Mo'er, you have grown up and even have your own daughter. I have nothing to worry about. You have to learn to take care of yourself in the future. I know my body very well and I can't last much time." Hongmo comforted Hongmo softly.

"Mother-in-law." Hong Lingyin also saw that something was wrong and held her warm hand.

"Little Lingyin, it's a pity that my mother-in-law has nothing to give you. I must live well with your father in the future." After Hongmo said to Lingyin, she turned to Hongmo again. "Although I am remote here, I also know that the world has undergone tremendous changes. I don't ask you to achieve anything, but you must be safe."

Hongmo knew that his mother did not talk nonsense. The hard life over the past ten years has long squeezed out every energy in her body. Now being able to stand here is more of an expectation, an expectation for her son.

Since the moment Hongmo came back, Hongmo put down her worries, she couldn't last long.

Eight days later, Hongmo passed away and Hongmo did not shed tears. He would bury this sadness in his heart. After burying his mother next to his father, Hongmo left here with a bell sound.
