Chapter 401 Ghosts From Decades Ago

A snowman about the same height as Lu Mingfei was piled on the white snow. Two dry branches were inserted into the sides of the snowman's body to serve as arms. The pebbles picked up from the roadside were its eyes. It wore a red hat on its head. winter hat.

Eriki stood on tiptoes and inserted half of a carrot into the snowman's face to serve as its nose.

She stood with her hands on her hips and nodded, seemingly very satisfied with her work.

"You two stand still, Mom will take a picture of you." Qiao Weini held a digital camera, smiled and waved.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei agreed.

Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi, who were wearing bulky down jackets, stood on the left and right sides of the snowman. Under Qiao Weini's command, they bent their swords together and made a heart sign with their arms.

Giovanni pressed the shutter of the camera and the flash came on, freezing the moment in the lens.

"Okay." Qiao Weini put away the camera and glanced at her watch: "It's almost time to eat. Let's wash the photos when we get back."

Lu Mingfei then took Hui Liyi's hand and followed Qiaovini to the canteen of the Khrushchev Building not far away.

Their range of activities was limited to one kilometer near the shelter. Beyond that was a dense minefield. In fact, there were quite a few mines buried within this kilometer, but Jovini remembered the mine maps nearby, so Then I took the two of them outside to play building a snowman.

It has been five days since Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi arrived at the shelter. The Nibelungen border was closed three days ago because the blizzard stopped. The Nibelungen can only communicate with the outside world when the blizzard is raging. .

There was still no news about Ange and Chu Zihang in Lulin City. He said that they had searched hard in the surrounding area and found the crashed hovercraft, but they could not see a single living person in the ice and snow.

Lu Lincheng told Lu Mingfei that they could only wait until the next time the Nibelungs opened before sending people out to search. However, the committee believed that since they had not found anything in the past two days, it was best not to act rashly again.

Sending too many people out of the Nibelungen will cause gaps in the shelter's defense. No one knows when the attacking group will come. It would be safer to wait for a supply day.

The so-called supply day is the day agreed upon by the shelter and the college to replenish supplies every year. Around Christmas, the college will transport a large amount of living supplies to the outside of the Great Rift Valley. At that time, they will be able to contact the armed forces of the Executive Department. Go ahead and ask for support.

According to the committee's wishes, Lu Mingfei and Eryi stayed here peacefully.

Lu Mingfei didn't hate life in the shelter. Although the food in the cafeteria was average, it was at the level of an ordinary school cafeteria. Although the weather here was cold and the sun couldn't be seen, there was heating in the room, so he wouldn't get cold when sleeping at night. Besides, there is his mother here.

Qiao Weini was very idle all day long, with almost no work. When she had nothing to do, she took Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi to the activity room to play table tennis and badminton, or to the shooting training room to shoot targets.

The facilities on the ground floor of the shelter are quite complete. In addition to the activity room, there is also a gym, and even entertainment facilities such as a cinema, KTV, and musical instrument practice room.

When the shelter was originally designed, the isolated nature of the place was taken into consideration.

Humans are social animals after all, and mental state is a very important part. Being in a place like the end of the world all year round can easily lead to mental illness.

People cannot adapt to assembly line life, and entertainment activities must be provided to help them relieve psychological stress.

In fact, Lu Mingfei didn't feel bored in the shelter yet. On the contrary, he found it very interesting and there were many fun things.

It will probably take another two or three months, after he has played with all the entertainment facilities here, before he starts to feel bored.

But he could never calm down and relax. The mysterious calls that night, as well as the disappearance of Ange and Chu Zihang, cast a faint haze in his heart.

That day, the principal and Chu Zihang were following him and Eriki. How could they disappear inexplicably?

Although I get to see my mother every day and play with him and Eri, I always feel that something is wrong.

Is life here too dull?

He didn't feel any sense of crisis. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable and happy.

When he and Eriki came here, it felt like they had arrived at a resort, and their mother took them there every day as a tour guide. It was obviously a secret agency housing "SSS-level" existences, but there was no tense atmosphere at all.

The people I met were all good people. Although my father and mother's relationship broke down, they treated him no differently.

The reindeer eating grass are very cute. Yesterday, his mother took him to be a "deer lasso". He and Eriyi rode on a reindeer and circled around the buildings. Eriyi She said that the reindeer would lick her hand after eating the grass on her hand, making it ticklish and fun.

In the past five days, no one has questioned Eri Yi's identity, and no one has supervised them. They move quite freely, and except for the sealed area, almost all places are open to them.

And these seemingly unreasonable places can also find reasonable explanations.

After all, my mother said that life here was very ordinary. Before the attack, their life was just three points and one line, regular and boring.

As for the attitude of the people in the shelter towards them, it can be explained by Lu Mingfei’s school director black card. Although the committee members were skeptical about what he said, the card was a genuine school director supreme black card. One point has been verified by the asylum's Eva subsystem.

Besides, his father is the largest official here, and his mother is the second-largest official after his father. After all, he is a full-fledged second-generation official, and since he may be the new school director, who has that? You have the confidence to speak ill of him to his face, and are you not afraid of being stripped naked and thrown into the snow to stand?

If it hadn't been for the mysterious call that night, Lu Mingfei would have been happy to spend a month or two vacation here with his mother, and then talk about other things when the Nibelung border was opened later.

But it was that sound whose source could not be found that made Lu Mingfei's heart itch all the time.

【Wolf よ、目を覚ませ】

The translation of this sentence means "Wolf, wake up quickly." He was not asleep at all at that time, why should he be told to wake up?

After eating in the cafeteria, they returned to Giovanni's suite to rest.

Lu Mingfei decided to go find his father again. He really wanted to see the sealed boy.

Eryi and Qiao Weini were watching the old video tape of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" on DVD in the living room. Lu Mingfei said something and then went out. Eryi didn't like Lu Lincheng very much and felt that Lu Mingfei's old Dad was not an easy person to get along with, so Lu Mingfei didn't take her with him and went to Lulincheng's office alone.

When Lu Lincheng came to the office, he put down his work and asked the female secretary to leave.

Lu Mingfei explained his purpose of coming, hoping that his father could help him get another chance to visit the boy.

"Why do you want to see him so much?" Lu Lincheng sat behind his desk and looked directly into Lu Mingfei's eyes: "He was pierced through the heart by Kungunir. Although he was not dead, he had no ability to move. He was quite He is in a vegetative state. He cannot talk to us. Even if you see him, he will not be able to answer your questions. Such repeated requests will make the committee doubt your true intentions. "

"I can't explain clearly, but I just want to see him. I hope dad can help me with this," Lu Mingfei said.

"The most I can do is help you apply to the committee again, but the result of the application will be rejected just like before." Lu Lincheng put his hands on the table and lowered his head. His eyes could not be seen clearly in the reflective mirror.

"So dad, there's nothing you can do? I just want to see him through the glass."

Lu Lincheng fell silent, and there was silence in the office.

After a long time, Lu Mingfei sighed, said nothing, and walked out of the room.

He admitted that his idea was a bit willful, and doing so would only embarrass his father. After all, his father was not the only one who had the final say in the shelter.

After he walked out of the building, he did not immediately go back to the room to find his mother and Eri. Instead, he walked alone through the underground passage and went to the shooting training room. After putting on his goggles, he held a handful of filled practice bullets. AWM, shooting target.

The gunshot sounded, and the painted bullet hit the red heart. He has always been very talented in shooting. When he touched a gun for the first time in high school military training, he was able to shoot ten rings.

He came here because he wanted to be alone for a while and sort out his thoughts.

In fact, if he had to force his way to find Lu Mingze, he could do it physically. With Eri Yi here, those metal safety doors couldn't stop him.

In the past, before Eri had her blood exchange, she could freely come and go in Genji Heavy Industries, holding a toothbrush and walking in a straight line through the intricate metal maze. What's more, now that she has had her blood exchange, her strength is even higher.

With the help of "Trial", they can go all the way unhindered, but is it really necessary to do such a thing just to meet Lu Mingze?

Mom will be very disappointed in him.

Waiting for another month or two is not something that is particularly difficult to accept.

Here you can eat, drink, and play. The only drawback is that you can't connect to the Internet with the outside world. You don't know what's going on outside. You can't watch the latest anime, and you can't communicate with old friends.

Speaking of which, Aji's due date is coming soon. Ye Sheng said on the phone that in December this year, at that time, Ye Sheng and Aji will be promoted to parents.

He and Ye Sheng agreed to be the godfather of their child, but with the current situation, it seemed that they couldn't rush back immediately.

I heard that she is a girl. She will be like Aki when she grows up. She will be a gentle girl, but that is not necessarily the case. She may inherit Ye Sheng's carefree character.

A girl with Aki's face but always laughing like Ye Sheng would be very lovable.

Although the child of Ye Sheng and Ya Ji was born, it was Lu Mingfei's goddaughter, and the anticipation in her heart was no less than the birth of her own child.

He and Eriki will probably have children in the future, and I wonder how he will feel at that time.

He really wanted to rush back and have a look as soon as possible, but it wasn't really a big problem if he couldn't go. He could always go and have that kid's full moon wine next year.

It's not his turn to worry about the principal and his senior brother. Their IQ and ability to adapt to changes are hundreds of times better than his and Eriki's. Taken together, the combination of these two people is definitely better than the combination of him and Eriki. Be more reliable.

The two of them didn't show up. Maybe they made some new discoveries, or maybe they had more urgent matters to deal with than here.

What is it like outside?

Lu Mingfei didn't know, he just aimed at the target and fired again. He was the only one in the shooting training room.

It's still meal time, and most of the people on shift breaks have gone to the canteen to have lunch.

He slowly pulled the spring, listening to the clear sound of a bullet sliding into the magazine, and pulled the trigger with his finger. Every bullet hit the red heart.

Since elementary school, he has been very talented in games, and shooting is just a game.

At night markets and gatherings, there is often a small game with a wall of balloons and ten bullets for twenty yuan. If all ten bullets burst a balloon, the contestant will take home the grand prize, usually a life-size balloon. doll.

Lu Mingfei always won big prizes every time he went there. Later, his father stopped letting him play this kind of game. He probably thought that it was purely bullying for him, a mixed race, to go to ordinary people's stalls.

Others were just playing, but he used to just buy goods. How could a small business stand up to his efforts?

As the last bullet was fired from the muzzle, Lu Mingfei put away the AWM for practice and hung it on the stand nearby.

At the same time, he took off his goggles and made his decision in his mind.

Just follow the committee's orders for the time being, as Mom would want him to do.

After he figured it out, he took a deep breath, relaxed and stretched, and walked straight to the door of the shooting practice room.

Let's go find my mom and Eri. It would be nice to just sit in a warm room and watch some old TV series this afternoon.

He stepped out of the door of the shooting practice room in a happy mood, and came face to face with a man wearing military green work clothes. The man was holding a half bottle of Red Label vodka, and his face was drunk.

Lu Mingfei suddenly froze when he looked at his face.

That face was nothing special. It was the face of an ordinary middle-aged Russian man. He had all the characteristics of a Russian man: old clothes, a beard and hair that had not been trimmed for a long time, and dirty shoes and a bottle of vodka always in hand.

There are many such Russian men in the shelter. Most of them are transferred from the Russian branch. They are natives of Russia. Although they are slovenly, they are kind, generous, cute and interesting. They are true friends and will always give you timely support. help.

In the past five days, Lu Mingfei had seen many similar Russian men. If you glanced at them, you would not feel that the man in front of you was any different from the men who were responsible for feeding the reindeer.

But cold sweat broke out from Lu Mingfei's back.

He remembered that he had seen this face in another place once upon a time.

Yes, there was no mistake. It was when he had just entered Kassel, and Lu Mingze said that he wanted to play an escape game with him.

He came to Black Swan Port in the illusion created by Lu Mingze.

At that time, he didn't know that it was Black Swan Port, but he was just trying to find a way to escape from that port.

He knew nothing about it, so when he came to a strange place, he naturally had to find someone who was familiar with the place to help him find his way.

He found a drunk lieutenant in the boiler room, and after the game, he received the Markov pistol as a gift from the lieutenant, the one that shot ice bullets.

And the man who passed in front of Lu Mingfei a few seconds ago had a face exactly like the lieutenant.

How could a man who had been dead for decades walk past him while drinking as if nothing had happened?

There is a problem. There is a big problem

Lu Mingfei watched the lieutenant's back disappearing around the corner of the corridor, as if staring at a non-existent ghost.
