Chapter 37.2

Ye Ping held her husband’s arm and whispered, “Say, is this Mr. Shen the Shen Shian that the army is looking for?”

Tian Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head, “I am not sure.” He was thinking about this, but if this Mr. Shen is really Shen Shian, then he obviously could enjoy the privilege to directly enter the base, why would he leave suddenly?

At this time in the off-road vehicle, Shen Xun asked the same question, “An An, why are we leaving?” Isn’t everyone looking for An An?

Shen Shian clenched his grip on the steering wheel and looked dignified, “I’m afraid it’s not Mr. Gu who was looking for me.”

Since the virus broke out, he had contacted Mr. Gu twice. One time when he was preparing supplies at home, when he wrote a text message detailing his situation at the time, including Fan Guoping who was infected by the zombies and Mo Feng escorting Yun Feiyang home. He also decided to go to Beijing.

The other time was in the library. The call was very short and fuzzy, but he still successfully exchanged information about each other’s situation with Mr. Gu, and confirmed that Mr. Gu had received his text message.

In other words, Mr. Gu knew from beginning to end that he was on the road with Shen Xun. If Mr. Gu really wanted to find him, why did he only release his name information? Why is there only one direct pass at the base? Compared to “Shen Shian”, it would be easier to narrow down the target group to find a grown up with a child. Among the survivors who were adults, less than one-twentieth of them had children.

There was only one explanation, that is, the person who wanted to find him did not know that he was carrying a child.

Shen Shian’s thoughts turned quickly, and his mind suddenly remembered the last sentence that Mr. Gu said to him during the call, “… An An … Beijing city … disorder … more than dead … uncontrollable, Qin family … military … you must be carefull … The rescue team … soon … pick you up …”

He always thought that Mr. Gu was letting him be careful, pay attention to safety, not take risks, and wait for the rescue team to rescue him.

But what if what Mr. Gu really wanted to say was to let him be careful about the rescue team?

Shen Shian had his shoulders and back straight, and he repeated the words in his mind over and over again. The Qin family, the military. The Qin family, which specializes in the business world and was even a nobleman in the political world, got in touch with the military in the end.

The off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. Shen Shian held the child leaning forward with one hand, and slapped the steering wheel with the other hand.

Supplies are supplies.

Sh*t, how could he forget such an important thing?

The business scale of the Qin family was extremely large, covering a wide range of industries, including heavy industry, light industry, agricultural products, real estate, service industry, high-tech industry, etc. The reason why the noble Gu family chose the Qin family as the marriage partner was because of the value of the other party’s tremendous strength and wealth in the business community. This strength and family base was now Qin family’s greatest support in the last days.

After the virus outbreak, what are the most important supplies? The soldiers and horses are the first. No matter how chaotic it is, the Qin family could rely on all the famous light and heavy industrial products, agricultural products, and high-tech industrial equipment to gain an invincible position.

His breathing calmed quickly after a short rush. Shen Shian sighed softly, and his eyes met the afterglow of the setting sun.

The Qin family and the military have reached a cooperation. You must be careful of them. You cannot trust the rescue team. I will find other ways as soon as possible and I will pick you up soon.

This was what Mr. Gu wanted to tell him.

“An An.” Shen Xun was a little worried.

“I’m fine.” Shen Shian rubbed his head and started the car again. The off-road vehicle gradually accelerated and soon left the scenery far behind.

This journey to Beijing seemed to add a lot of challenges.

Around the same time Shen Shian left Dongming County Security Base, he was in another large base hundreds of kilometers away.

Lu Xiuyuan has been here for more than a month. This was the scientific research area of ​​the base. Other survivors couldn’t enter, and people in the scientific research area usually couldn’t go out.

Because he was evacuated with medical workers and scientific researchers such as Professor Li, and he was a student of Medical University, he was assigned as an assistant to Professor Li and others after arriving at the base. Others, whether it was the captain who was in charge of the rescue operation at the beginning, or the students who were evacuated from the medical university, or Shen Shian’s family, he had never seen one since entering the research area.

It was almost dinner time, and there was no one in the research room. Only Professor Li was still experimenting at the workbench. With a stack of report papers, Lu Xiuyuan walked over to him, “Professor, here is the data you wanted.” For these data, he had been staring at the petri dish for two weeks without rest.

“Throw it away,” Professor Li said without looking at it, still sitting in front of the microscope, “Then clean all the experimental tanks.”

Lu Xiuyuan’s eyes flashed in the dark, and he couldn’t help but throw the report paper on the table, “I remember that professor taught us that no matter what position you are in, you should give full respect to the fruits of the labor of others.”

Professor Li looked up and pushed up his glasses, “You think I didn’t treat you with enough respect?” Not waiting for Lu Xiuyuan to answer, he continued, “If so, Why don’t you apply to leave the scientific research? You are not satisfied being treated like this, or are you afraid of meeting acquaintances outside and being shouted at by others that you are not Shen Shian?”

Lu Xiuyuan was embarrassed and his face quickly turned red. Seeing that there was no one else in the research room, he said, “Isn’t professor the same? When I got on the plane, you were pretending not to recognise me. If you are so full of sense of justice why didn’t you take apart my lie at that time? It’s clear, professor was also afraid that the plane’s turn would increase a lot of uncertain factors and threaten your own safety, so you turned a blind eye to my lie. The success of my plan was also due to the professor’s credit. Since you chose to be deaf and dumb at that time, why should you stand on the moral high ground and blame me at this time, or do you blame all the reasons on me? Is this fair to me? Shen Shian had bodyguards. He doesn’t need rescue at all. I’m just trying to survive. Is it wrong?”

Professor Li was trembling with anger, taking deep breaths several times, watching Lu Xiu and shouted, “Yes, I made a mistake. At the time, I wasn’t sure if the rescue team was willing to risk losing an aircraft just to turn around to search and rescue classmate Shen, and once they saw through your lie, you will have a great chance of being abandoned by the rescue team. I made a wrong choice because I could not bear it for a while, and chose you instead of classmate Shen. Fortunately, there might still be a chance to make up for this mistake, isn’t it?”

Lu Xiuyuan stared blankly, and was about to say something when the door of the research room was suddenly opened, and two people entered. He knew that they were the two captains who were responsible for the rescue operation.

The tall captain greeted Professor Li first, and then said to Lu Xiuyuan, “Mr. Shen, please come with us.”

Lu Xiuyuan was worried that Professor Li would say something in front of the two captains. It was too late anyway, he turned and quickly went out, “Okay, let ’s go.”

Professor Li opened his mouth and stopped talking, and finally sighed and said nothing. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it depends on his own luck.
