After the boss of the last days was cannon fodder, he changed to farming scripts

Chapter 266
039 looked at Gu Xi with a complicated expression, but Gu Xi remained silent.

On the side, Wei Heng gave Liu He a wink, and told him to take him to the dilapidated shop next to him for careful interrogation.

After Liu He and Lin Jin took the man away, Wei Heng walked up to Gu Xi, and silently handed her a roasted sweet potato: "What are you thinking?"

Gu Xi took the sweet potato and looked up, "I was wondering, what role did the Gu family... play in that incident back then?"

The glass of wine that year, and the 30 years when she disappeared inexplicably. It turns out that there is such a reason behind it.

To be honest, she didn't fully believe what the man just said.

With the reputation and status of Scarlet Shura back then, and with the supernatural talent and absolute strength she showed at that time, even if the Gu family no longer looked down on her mother's background, even if it was just for profit, I am afraid they would try their best to kill her daughter. Let me go back?
This point can be seen from the fact that Gu Yumin appeared in front of her several times when she first showed her sharpness back then.

But later, why did the Gu family change their mind?

039 said that the Gu family was afraid that she would go back to retaliate against them after the incident was revealed. They were afraid of her, so they plotted against her, and tried every means to erase the existence of Scarlet Shura afterwards.

But in the final analysis, this is just 039's guess.

Gu Xi didn't think that the person in power of a big family would be so stupid and short-sighted.

After all, the value she showed at that time was enough to bring the Gu family to a higher level.

And these years, the Gu family's low profile may not be due to the fact that the family has no successors.

"How much do you know about the Gu family?" Gu Xi raised her head and asked, her tone was flat as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

Speaking of the Gu family, Qi Xiang remembered a piece of gossip:

"I heard that the reason why the Gu family agreed to their eldest daughter to marry the reckless Commander Liu was not because of the beautiful love between the delicate eldest daughter and the rough man in the army, but because there were no direct descendants of the Gu family. He is a master and wants to join forces in the army, so he fell in love with Liu Feng who had no background at the time but had outstanding military skills."

The Gu family has always been good at investing.

And after Liu Feng married the eldest lady of the Gu family, with the secret support of the Gu family, he really skyrocketed over the years and took the position of commander of one party.

Qin Shi frowned: "But I heard that the eldest lady of the Gu family is actually the adopted daughter of the Gu family." So in the final analysis, that Commander Liu and the Gu family are just a relationship of mutual use.

"It's not that simple." Wei Heng tore off the skin of the roasted sweet potato for Gu Xi, "Although the Gu family has been keeping a low profile these years, according to the information Yang Chi found a few days ago, there are several girls in the Gu family's generation. , but the one who married the best was that Mrs. Liu..."

Which of the children of aristocratic families is not a human being?There are several biological daughters who are related by blood, but the best one to marry in the end is an adopted daughter?
If there is nothing tricky in it, who would believe it! 】

unless……

Gu Xi was startled when she heard the word "adopted daughter". She thought of the meaning revealed in the oblique words in Chapter 039 just now: "So, that Mrs. Liu is not actually the adopted daughter of the Gu family?"

Then the problem comes:
Under what circumstances would a big family declare its own daughter to be an adopted daughter and raise it under its knees?

Qi Xiang is very good at this question, "I heard that those aristocratic families care most about face and reputation..."

Qin Yi understood in seconds: "An illegitimate daughter?"

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as an illegitimate daughter." Qi Xiang clicked his tongue, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Mrs. Liu's background."

"The waters of a wealthy family are deep." Wei Heng also sighed melancholy when he thought of the news from Yang Chi before.

Originally, these things had nothing to do with them, but now...how could Gu Xi get involved in such a horrible thing?

Wei Heng was worried, he looked up at Gu Xi, wanted to say something but felt his throat was constricted, he couldn't say anything, he just pulled his hair in worry.

Qin Shi glanced at Gu Xi who was sitting across from the fire, the expression on her face was so calm that Qin Shi didn't know what Gu Xi was thinking at this moment?
Gu Xi actually didn't think about anything.

She just thinks it's a little funny, and some people really think too highly of her.

She grew up in the darkest and most chaotic environment of the last days. She has been cultivated by the base and the research institute as a humanoid weapon, and her feelings have been almost wiped out by those people.

Now there is only a little bit of human emotions and desires left. It took Li Ming and others to lose their old nose strength since they were young, and it took more than 20 years for her to maintain it with difficulty.

Don't look at her looking like a normal person now, she can talk, laugh, eat and sleep; but in fact, except for a few people like Li Ming who can affect her emotions, Gu Xi is indifferent from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, she ignored everything in this world, and didn't even care about her own life and death.That is to say, after waking up for more than a year, and following Wei Heng and others to live a normal life for a few days, she gradually became more angry that belonged to a living person.

But in her heart, she was still the indifferent Gu Xi from before.

For her own background, for her parents...

To be honest, apart from Li Ming once mentioning it, Gu Xi never knew who her parents were. Even the name Gu Xi was given to her by people from the research institute.

The Gu family is... nothing to her.

She is really not interested in her own life experience.

To avenge his mother is even more out of the question.

When Li Ming told her that name to let her remember that day, he just wanted to tell her that she was a human being, and she was born from life, not the monster that those people said only knew how to kill and was more terrifying than zombies.

She is human because she has a mother.

It's that simple.

But she didn't know where those people knew about that day and the name Huo Zhen, maybe it was what Brother Li Ming wanted to do, maybe it was...
She doesn't want to be as complicated and dirty as people think.

But some people seem to be very keen to stuff her with a revenge script?
Gu Xi sighed and dropped the dead branch in his hand.

It's really annoying to be forced to take a revenge script or something.

She would rather go back to Nancheng to farm.

... Gu Xi froze for a moment.

wrong.

In the past few years, she never seemed to have this kind of mood called irritability; but after waking up this time... especially after returning to the central base, Gu Xi silently recalled that she seemed to have been irritated several times up.

She subconsciously raised her hand to press the position of her heart.

The beating of the heart is still steady and strong, but her mood swings have become much more obvious in the recent period.

Gu Xi didn't know if it was good or bad?
I couldn't help being a little dazed for a while.

The little green shoot quietly drilled out, circling around her fingertips.

In the huge underground space, it was eerily quiet, except for the crackling sound of the burning fire, no one spoke.

Qi Xiang touched Wei Heng with his arm.

Wei Heng shook his head slightly at her.

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly looked up and asked, "How did Shen Yue arrange Yang Chi's side?"

Weird signals often appeared in the convoy of the research institute. Apart from Ye Nan being a major suspect, Zhou Jing was always their target of suspicion. So before the earthquake broke out, Yang Chi followed him on the grounds that he suffered an internal injury and needed medical treatment. Ye Nan's medical vehicle is specially responsible for watching that signal.

After the earthquake broke out, Yang Chi lost contact with all of them.

At this moment when Gu Xi asked suddenly, Wei Heng was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said: "Shen Yue didn't say anything, but he dared to put Yang Chi in the research institute, so it's okay for that kid to protect himself... ..."

Gu Xi nodded, Yang Chi is very smart, and his identity is there, if the research institute doesn't want to completely tear themselves apart with the Shen family, they won't touch him.

She raised her hand to look at the time.

One p.m.

It has been more than 6 hours since she left the temporary camp with people, but if the base guards and the research institute want to do something, this time... I'm afraid it's not enough.

Thinking of those human cocoons still hanging on the tree, Gu Xi pressed the intercom and communicated with Yang Liu.

After finishing the call, when she turned around, she saw Qi Xiang and the others all looking at her in unison.

Gu Xi: "...Didn't you all hear the call just now? What are you all looking at me for?"

She even smiled.

Wei Heng and the others felt their hearts sank, suddenly knowing that they had such a life experience... how can normal people laugh when they encounter such a situation?
Qi Xiang sighed in his heart, "Gu Xi, it's still early, and you won't be going back to the camp right now, or, why don't you go and rest for a while?"

There are so many things going on these few days, Gu Xi hasn't slept much, it's not a big deal to stay up like this all the time.

There is also the matter of the Gu family... Although Gu Xi looks very calm now, when encountering such a thing, his emotions will be affected to some extent.

Anyway, Gu Xi...needs a rest.

Gu Xi thought for a while, nodded, and took out sleeping bags and tents from the space. Wei Heng built a simple room next to it, and the sisters of the Qin family went in with their things and quickly got everything done.

Qi Xiang pushed Gu Xi in: "Go to sleep for a while, we will leave the outside affairs to us."

039 should be able to get something out of his mouth.

And she still has some experience with such things as clichés.

After being pushed into the tent by Qi Xiang, Gu Xi lay on the moisture-proof mat. She originally thought she couldn't fall asleep, but she didn't want to fall into sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

In the dream, it was the laboratory she was familiar with.

There is also a blood-red Shura mask...

Gu Xi looked down at the mask in his hand, a little dazed.

This feeling is very strange, she knows that this is a dream, but everything in the dream is too real.

It's like... having two selves.

One is the self in reality, and the other is the self in the dream.

But now, the self in reality is looking at the self in the dream from the perspective of another self.

Now she was lying on a strange machine with a hazy halo over the machine.

A researcher in a white protective suit plugged in the machine, and was about to cover her with the hazy halo.

The 13-year-old girl stared blankly at the halo of light slowly enveloping her head, her eyes were calm and indifferent.

She knows what they want to do, but she doesn't care.

at this time.

Someone violently kicked open the door of the laboratory.

Xiao Yu and Qi Ran pushed several researchers aside like wolf cubs who were furious, and beat them up severely.

Li Ming, who was still a teenager, walked to the machine with a smile, "Still not getting up? Isn't the bed in Villa No. 9 more comfortable to sleep on than the machine here?"

Gu Xi lay on the machine without moving.

Li Ming was not in a hurry, he even found a small bench from nowhere, sat in front of her, tilted his head and looked at her: "Xiaoxi, now, you don't have to be so obedient."

Gu Xi lay on the machine, raised his hand to poke the aperture above his head, and frowned slightly: "Is it broken?"

"It's not bad." Li Ming stared at her expressionless face with a smile, "Xiao Xi, we have grown up."

At that time, Gu Xi didn't quite understand the meaning of growing up. After all, a few years ago, no one in the base could beat her.

Seeing that the halo of light hadn't come down for a long time, she suddenly felt extremely boring, and turned around to stare at the bloody Shura mask covered by the halo of light on another machine.

Li Ming pressed her hand, and asked her with a smile: "Like it?"

Gu Xi didn't know if she liked it or not, but she just stared at the mask, feeling dazed for a moment.

In the dream, Li Ming said something again, but she couldn't hear clearly...

In a trance, the mask just grew on her face like that, as if she had really become a bloody Shura, a human weapon without emotion.

Gu Xi didn't like it very much.

Even if you know it's in a dream.

She raised her hand to try to tear off the mask on her face, but the mask seemed to grow together with the skin on her face, and it was dripping with blood...

In the severe pain, Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Qi Xiang lifted the curtain of the tent, looked in, met her calm and sober eyes that opened suddenly, and was stunned for a while.

"Yeah." Gu Xi sat up slowly, suppressing all the emotions in the dream, she got up and walked out of the tent, sat by the fire, raised her head and asked Wei Heng: "Is there any news from Ye Junhan?"

Wei Heng shook his head slowly and handed her a bowl of hot water.

"Where is Yangliu?" Gu Xi asked again.

"I just contacted 10 minutes ago, and everything is normal in the camp." Wei Heng paused, motioned for her to drink water first, and waited for Gu Xi to finish drinking before he said again: "Liu Jia's scientific research team is awake...Xiao Zheng Nothing out of the ordinary there."

Qi Xiang muttered to the side, "It's enough to be calm."

At this moment, Zhao Li strode in from the outside, "Lin Jin and Liu He brought people back to the camp, but it's raining again..."

Gu Xi poked the little green bud on his fingertips, and his spirit was released infinitely, and it was indeed a light rain outside.

Qi Xiang stared at the fire, and suddenly said: "Actually, 039's cooking skills are not bad, if it's not too careful, it's okay to stay."

Wei Heng turned his head to look at her slowly, without speaking.

Qi Xiang: Oops, did she accidentally tell the truth and offend the cook in the team?
Gu Xi suddenly asked: "Is Shen Yue back?"

"No." Zhang Wen pawed at the fire, faintly agitated, "The supply point is not too far from us, it's been several hours, and Qian Shan hasn't sent any news back, so I'm worried about what might happen."

The supply point is also within the range of the earthquake... As usual, even if there is a problem with the supply point, Qian Shan will find a way to send back the news, and it will definitely not be so long without contacting the team.

Qi Xiang asked: "Could it be because the distance is too far and the walkie-talkie can't be used?"

"It's possible." Zhao Li said, "But usually, they will send people back, or launch signal flares."

"Flare?" Gu Xi's heart moved, he raised his head and asked, "What kind of flare? Did Ye Junhan bring it?"

"It's a signal flare specially made by the military." Zhang Yali glanced at Gu Xi, knowing that she was not from the military, and explained: "The captain and the others also have them."

That's weird.

Ye Junhan hasn't returned to the team for a long time, why didn't he send a signal flare to contact the big team?
At this moment, the mutated mouse king who had been lying in the corner and pretending to be dead suddenly raised his head and yelled, "Hey!"
