United Front Work Department, District 6, 14th floor, teaching and public facilities floor.

Zhang Min took Cassia by the hand to go to the preparatory class - the entrance exam here is in August, and the school starts in September. The children of many 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 notice. As a retired soldier, Zhang Min signed the document. Once necessary, he will serve in the army and will be arrested at any time. Called to go, but also have the opportunity to go home to visit his son every day.

At the same time, Zhang Min also filled out an application for a Chinese medicine clinic, and was willing to open a small clinic in the sixth district without charging any remuneration, as long as the state guaranteed him and Cassia's food, clothing, and lodging.

The two applications are still in the queue, but Cassia was given a chance to go to school for the first document, of course, just chance.

Each floor of the underground refuge camp can accommodate millions of people, and the space is very wide. Zhang Min and Cassia live on the thirteenth floor like Liu Yan.

He brought Cassia to class every day, waited in a public cafeteria outside the school, and picked him up for dinner at noon.

After lunch, Zhang Min sat on a bench in the park, Cassia lay down on his lap and slept for a while, went on to class in the afternoon, and went home for dinner in the evening.

That day, Zhang Min came out to buy a cup of coffee, sat in the cafeteria, and flipped through the free newspapers—a thick stack that could be taken back to build a panda nest.

Zhang Min promised Ju Ming that after the entrance exam, no matter if he failed, he could adopt a white chow chow without an owner, then dye his eyes black and raise it in the dormitory.

He flipped through the newspaper and the headline was: [The United Front Command has made initial progress, and more than 100 million people have been rescued across the country. 】

I flipped through it casually, and the sub-version was political and ideological education, and could vaguely see the dissatisfaction with the seventh district scientific research center.

International news page: About 90% of the world has fallen.

[African, Latin American countries migrate towards Antarctica]

[African residents left the Cape of Good Hope and evacuated towards Antarctica. A fully loaded cruise ship broke out on the way, lost communication when it reached the Ross Ice Shelf, and entered the Queens Islands with ocean currents after half a month.

The zombie virus has polluted the Antarctic continent. Fortunately, the temperature is cold, and the positive electrode is slowly spreading towards East Antarctica and the Vincennes Heights. 】

[Three days after the U.S. threatened to make a breakthrough in vaccine research and development, a mutant virus infection broke out in an Alaska laboratory.

In the Alaska laboratory, all researchers died...]

[India may have inhumane virus experiments, which has been severely criticized by the European Union]

[Kim Jong-nam landed at the North Pacific Rescue Center with a large number of nuclear warheads, causing a dispute with Japan]

[Today's Oaks virus, or the remnants of the 731 troops during the war of aggression against China? 】

[General Zweig, the executioner of mankind, a supporter of the Nazi trend of thought...]

Zhang Min turned a page, and after the sub-page was a column the size of tofu cubes. All of them are oral narrations from people who escaped from the catastrophe, telling the unbearable days. At the end, they remind all the survivors of the shelter to cherish the present and encourage the people to have confidence in the future.

The entertainment section is a story of the escape of a group of stars, the headline:

[Tang Yixiao returned safely, tens of thousands of fans burst into tears]

Zhang Min: "..."

Life in foreign countries is in dire straits, and life in our country is very beautiful - the spirit of news network, there is nothing to see, it is over.

A woman on the opposite side has been watching Zhang Min suspiciously, Zhang Min turned the newspaper from back to front again, and stopped on one of the pages.

It was a small forum on an out-of-the-way board.

[Abstract from the Seventh District Academic Journal, the root cause of the virus outbreak may be a self-cleaning of the global environment. 】

(The column is accompanied by comments of scientific research experts from the army, with fierce wording, refuting the theories of the seventh district one by one)

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

There was a sound from the TV wall on the side of the cafeteria.

Female host: "Major General Meng, you may have to face a lot of troublesome problems today, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Man's voice: "Every time you say that, when is it not?"

The hostess smiled and said: "The seventh district's natural environment team and the ancient investigation culture pointed out that the source of the virus brought by this ocean current may have existed in the Cambrian ice age 950 million years ago. What do you think of this issue? ."

MAN'S VOICE: "We've had countless reports from the Seventh District."

Zhang Min raised his head and glanced, almost having an illusion that Meng Feng was sitting in the interview room.

The faces were a bit similar, and the temperament couldn't be more similar. Zhang Min immediately knew who it was.

Meng Jianguo made a gesture, and his voice was 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 that it is the experimental waste thrown on the earth by aliens; archaeologists believe that it is the root cause of the disappearance of the Maya; biologists believe that it is the cause of natural evolution, theology The family... don't ask me, I don't know how they got into the seventh district, they think it's Pandora's box that leaked."

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

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

Meng Jianguo added: "There are even more outrageous, I remember a geneticist pointed out that for humans, this virus will eventually lead to the evolution of the entire ethnic group, making humans a brand new species and opening a new era of the earth. . . The implication is that it is clearly intended to inject us with the virus."

The audience laughed again, and the hostess laughed: "So what did Major General Meng think? Which report is most relevant to the current situation?"

"Compared to what the military thinks." Meng Jianguo said: "I do hope that the seventh district will unify their internal conflicts before submitting proposals. I don't want to see the same thing every time the door of Hongqiao opens. Big stack... science fiction-like material."

The hostess 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 they have never faced before?"

Meng Jianguo thought for a while and replied: "Everything is progressing, the situation is under the control of the military, please wait and see."

"Zhang Min?" The woman in the opposite seat trembled.

Zhang Min has always been attracted by the show, but when someone called out his name, he turned his head like a thunder.

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

"You're still alive... Zhang Min?!" The woman stood up and said, "Why are you here! Who sent you here?!"

That woman was Wang Bo's wife, Xiao Li, Zhang Min got up, the woman came to hug him crying, Zhang Min patted her shoulder to signal for peace, found a table to sit down, and went to buy her a cup of coffee .

Xiao Li's eyes were red and she choked, "Where are your elder brother and Shanshan?"

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

Xiao Li said: "The other day I quarreled with Lao Wang and went back to my mother's house. On the same day, it was said that there was an outbreak of rabies outside. I didn't know the actual situation. I couldn't reach Lao Wang by phone.

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

"Is he dead?" Xiao Li asked in a trembling voice with tears in her eyes, "Where's Shanshan?"

Zhang Min told Wang Bo for the first time, skipped the onset of the disease, and finally sighed.

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

Xiao Li looked at the coffee sadly 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 while, and then said, "Live well, sister-in-law."

"Are you waiting for Cassia to finish class?" Xiao Li wiped away her tears and asked again.

Zhang Min smiled and nodded, and asked, "How about you?"

Xiao Li said: "My friend's daughter is studying for the exam. I'm waiting for the test today. I'll help him... come and pick him up."

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

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

The person who came was a middle-aged officer of nearly forty years old and looked very personable. Xiao Li hurriedly introduced it, but Zhang Min didn't hear it for a while, so he got up and shook hands with him.

"Colonel Yang, hello."

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

The two sides exchanged a few words, and Officer Yang asked, "Is your son studying in it?"

Zhang Min smiled and said, "It's called Zhang Jueming, he's an adopted son, uh... let me see."

He glanced at his watch, it was almost over from school, Officer Yang got up, Xiao Li wiped her tears and whispered, "Why are you here?"

Officer Yang said: "I have nothing to do, I came back early, why? Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Li nodded and choked: "Pharaoh and Shanshan..."

Officer Yang sighed and touched her head. The voices of the two became quieter. Zhang Min was waiting at the school gate. After a while, Officer Yang's daughter came out. Several people stood by the aisle. Officer Yang asked her daughter to call people.

The girl was about the same age as Cassia, listening to music with headphones on. She glanced sideways at Zhang Min, then looked at Xiao Li suspiciously, and said nothing.

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

Officer Yang began to train his daughter, Zhang Min was busy trying to smooth things out, and after waiting for a long time, Xiao Li originally planned to go out with Zhang Min in the afternoon, but now it seems that she has to give up.

Seeing that Officer Yang's daughter was particularly impatient, Zhang Min said wisely: "You guys go to dinner first, I'll wait for Cassia here."

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

Xiao Li looked uneasy, the girl vaguely heard the name, took off her earphones, glanced at Zhang Min in confusion, and asked, "Are you Cassia's dad?!"

Zhang Min smiled politely: "Yes, he is in the same class as you? Does he get along well with his classmates?"

The girl said, "He should go to a doctor, I mean it."

Zhang Min: "..."

Officer Yang immediately reprimanded: "Yang Yushan! How can you talk like that!"

Zhang Min hurriedly said: "It's okay, child, don't scold her. Tell your uncle, what happened to Cassia?"

Yang Yushan said: "His speech is... very strange, not like a normal person. The teacher asked him to sit in the last row, he was like a ghost, he didn't speak. Ask him questions and don't stand up. Everyone dictates, he Sit still, almost got into a fight last time."

"Isn't there a fight?" Zhang Min said: "Jueming never fights with people."

Officer Yang comforted: "It's normal for children to fight, it's nothing. It's fine to fight."

Zhang Min felt a little sad and sighed.

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

Officer Yang picked up the phone and said, "In this way, I have an urgent task to carry out. Yushan, you and auntie will have dinner later, and Uncle Zhang Min, Dad will be back tonight."

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

Officer Yang ignored his daughter and ran to drive as if he had something important to do.

Two seconds later, the announcement of the entire sixth district sounded.

"Please return to the team to concentrate, temporarily deploy troops, and the salvage team and armored team will be ready by 12 o'clock."

"It's okay." Zhang Min was keenly aware of something.

Xiao Li said: "It's okay, they always do this... Yushan? Yushan!"

Yang Yushan put her hands in her trouser pockets and walked along the road. Xiao Li chased after her and said, "Don't go! Your father is going back to report. Listen to Auntie, Yushan!"

Zhang Min waited at the school gate for a while, and finally Cassia came out, followed by a male teacher.

"Are you the parent of Zhang Jueming?" the male teacher asked, taking out a paper and showing it.

Zhang Min nodded, knowing that Cassia was in trouble again.

Zhang Min took a paper with good grades, and he didn't quite believe it.

However, as soon as the teacher euphemistically suspected that Cassia was cheating, Zhang Min immediately replied: "Isn't he arranged by you to sit in the last row? There are no classmates left and right, so how can he cheat?"

The male teacher was speechless. He asked Cassia to stay and asked him to solve the last few questions of the exam paper again, but Cassia didn't bother him at all.

The male teacher thinks: If you can't do it, you're cheating. You can't leave. Call your parents.

Zhang Min was not an officer, so of course he didn't have a phone, and Jue Ming didn't say anything, just stood in the office, looking distracted.

The male teacher trained Cassia for nearly half an hour, but Cassia didn't speak or move, just like facing a stake, the teacher also had to eat, and finally had no choice but to send him out.

"Even the colonel's daughter is taking classes with me. The same mistakes will be criticized, Mr. Zhang." The male teacher said.

"Teacher." Zhang Min interrupted him rudely: "Although I was only a lieutenant when I served, the education of my children has nothing to do with my military rank. When you are on the tour, are the students below? Cheating, don't you know that at all?"

The male teacher had to shut up angrily. The podium was indeed a little higher. After being a teacher for so many years, how could he not know what was going on in the exam room? In addition, there are cameras installed in the classroom, and Cassia did not cheat with cheat sheets.

But no one believed it at all, and the responsibility was not entirely on him.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Min took the paper.

"Baby." Zhang Min said, "Why didn't you make it clear?"

Cassia was walking on the road carrying a bag, Zhang Min turned around and walked backwards, walking in front of him, Jue Ming said, "He doesn't believe me, so I won't show it to him."

"If you have something to say, say it." Zhang Min said, "Baby, Dad has said it many times..."

Cassia: "Oh, what about the promised panda?"

Zhang Min said: "I'll talk about pandas later, you can't keep talking, you know? If you change schools, you can't be like before..."

Zhang Min walked back while walking, stumbled on the railing, fell backwards in an earth-shattering manner, knocked over a trash can, and was very embarrassed by the loud noise, and fell to the ground.

Jue Ming: "..."

Zhang Min lay in a pile of bottles and jars and made a gesture: "Be proactive, be enthusiastic, and communicate with teachers and classmates."

Cassia: "Hahahaha—"

Zhang Min: "As it is now."

Zhang Min got up helplessly, put the trash can in place, picked up the trash with Cassia, stuffed it back, took Cassia's hand and said, "Forget it, let's go eat, and visit the animal center in the afternoon."

The father and son had lunch. Zhang Min stood at the intersection and waited for the bus. Cassia brought a packet of fried shrimp and stood behind a huge glass wall while eating, looking at the sea water outside.

The angelfish swam by, kissed the mouth, and suddenly turned around and left.

"The car is here, give me a shrimp." Zhang Min said, "Get in the car, baby."

There was almost no room in the car, Zhang Min sat down first, then let Cassia sit on his lap, went to the nearest elevator on the 14th floor, and then took the elevator to the 12th floor to apply for adopting an animal, then went to the ground and took a boat to the third area to pick up the animal. dog.

It is estimated that it will take an afternoon to complete.

The car stopped halfway through.

All the lights on the fourteenth floor went out, and screams and exclamations erupted from the car.

Green lights are on throughout the sixth district.

"Alert, the energy supply is temporarily withdrawn to support the central seventh district minaret. The process may take one to two hours. All elevators are out of service. Please wait patiently."

There was dim green light everywhere, and there was a lot of noise in the car. Zhang Min got out of the car. Outside the huge glass wall, there was a trace of light cast by the sea.

Cassia: "The panda is gone again."

Zhang Min: "Yes, just wait for the call. What research may be done on the tower in the middle."

In Cassia's eyes, a huge, gray tentacle swept across the entire glass wall and curled up in the sea.

When the fried shrimp was finished, Cassia shook the paper bag upside down and said, "Octopus."

Zhang Min took out a cigarette and nodded, without raising his head, "Oh, octopus, I only eat it at noon."

"It's huge." Ju Ming said, "Look."

Four incomparably huge, 60-meter-long octopus tentacles swept across the front. The suction cups had already begun to rot, the cotton-wool soft tissue was floating in the sea water, and the tentacles’ suction cups were embedded with many hideously deformed heads of humans.

When Zhang Min looked up, the rotten giant octopus had disappeared.

"How old." Zhang Min said casually without seeing anything.

Cassia: "It's very big."

Zhang Min smiled and said, "How big is it?"

Cassia said: "Big is big, like a ship outside."

Zhang Min smiled and said, "That's an aircraft carrier, not an octopus that big."

Jue Ming said: "Yes, you see, there is another one, two. It should be an alien, and the octopus star is here."

Zhang Min: "..."

A dozen or so giant octopuses with a height of hundreds of meters were separated in the sea water, their dark eyes looked at the person in the glass wall, and then one left and swam to the heights of the sea, while the other raised its tentacles and patted the glass wall., with a loud bang.

There was a cracked road that stretched ten meters across the glass wall.

In the hall, the pot was fried immediately, and everyone screamed wildly together.
