Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 316
"Then why did she write the words in a hurry on the back of the tea table?" Tang Tang asked.

"I think, it should be that person made certain requests, such as taking Tian Xin to another place, or worse, that person and Tian Xin did not chat but had a showdown, and Tian Xin discovered his true face at that time and knew I was probably in a bad situation, so in a hurry, while continuing to talk to that person, I secretly wrote these words with my fingernails on the back of the coffee table." Ma Xiaoyan said following Ma Zhi's train of thought.

Ma Zhi glanced at his sister approvingly, nodded and said, "I think so too."

"Then Tian Xin?" Tang Tang only felt his heart sink.

"Didn't Tian Xin mention that Yu Mowei's disappearance seemed to be related to Cui Zhenlei? Now it seems that this is the only clue." Ma Zhi said lightly.

Among the people in the Ivy League, except for Lin Rantong and Tang Tang who had a brief encounter with Tian Xin on the way to escape at the beginning of the end of the world, everyone else only knew that there was such a person after they came to the Stone Base, so something happened to her. It is impossible to say how worried other people are. After all, no one is a bad person, but knowing Dashan's clues made everyone happy.

Sure enough, Ma Xiaoyan immediately said: "In any case, it is a surprise to have news about that little fat man in Dashan. But the west is so far away. Is Dashan really there? Is he still alive?" Ma Xiaoyan was also worried. stand up.

Xia Yongjia rubbed his hands and said, "From the message, it seems that Dashan is still alive, otherwise the person who left the message didn't need to write the words 'Dashan, West'."

"That's really great." Ma Xiaoyan shook her head naturally, and her long ponytail swayed accordingly.

An Ran, whose face was being ravaged by Wei Zimo, struggled to break free from her clutches, walked up to Xia Yongjia in three or two steps on her short legs, raised her face and said, "Uncle Xia, is Brother Dashan coming back?"

Xia Yongjian looked at the look of anticipation on An Ran's face, felt that the pear was very big, coughed and coughed twice: "Ah, An Ran, Brother Dashan went far away, he has to walk a long way to come back."

An Ran frowned and thought for a while: "Brother Da Shan walks slowly, but Ran Ran walks fast, so why don't Ran Ran go find him?"

Xia Yongjia and the others looked at each other, that little man An Ran just said so naturally, but it was a very difficult decision for adults.

The west is too far away, and no one knows the specific situation there. Not to mention the obstacles and long distances, even if you go to the west, can you really find mountains? The west is not like the central and eastern regions, it is much bigger and wider.

"Anyway, let's talk about it when the captain comes back." Ma Zhi broke the embarrassment.

Tang Tang nodded and said: "Yes, it is a happy event to know the news of Dashan. I can't wait to tell Rantong. It's just Tian Xin's matter. Should we ask that Cui Zhenlei?"

"I don't think their matter is really related to Cui Zhenlei, but it's okay to ask the captain after he comes back to discuss it." Ma Zhi said.

Tang Tang glanced at Ma Zhi and said: "There must be a reason for the groundless rumors. Why did you mention him when it had nothing to do with him? Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let's hurry up and figure things out when Rantong comes back."

"Rantong, this is what happened, oops, my mouth is dry." Tang Tang said and took a big sip of water from the teacup on the side.

After listening to Tang Tang's story, Lin Rantong and Liu Yuan looked at each other. The mountain is in the west. She got clues from her younger brother's ex-girlfriend Zhu Lingling. The younger brother also went to the west before the end of the world. Is it God's will, implying that she should go to the west? How about a trip?

"Rantong, what do you think?" Seeing that Lin Rantong was silent, Tang Tang asked anxiously.

Lin Rantong pondered for a while, glanced at everyone and said: "As for Tian Xin, just as you discussed, go to Cui Zhenlei to investigate the situation. As for going to the west to find Dashan, I think this matter is related to each of us. It is so important that it even determines our future destiny and life trajectory, so it needs to be considered in the long run, what do you think?"

The crowd nodded.

Tang Tang said: "Then let's eat quickly, and go to Cui Zhenlei after eating."

Lin Rantong said: "I won't go."

"Rantong, you--" Tang Tang's face changed, but her heart felt astringent, Rantong, do you really care about the friends who used to live and die together, Tian Xin is still a little girl, and now her life and death are uncertain, it is really too pitiful up.

Lin Rantong gave Tang Tang a faint smile and said: "After dinner, let's divide into two groups. I applied for a place specially for orphans who are under the age of 16 and have no one to rely on. I want to visit there later. How is the place? Are there any changes or additions that need to be made? Seeing that winter is coming, we must hurry up and prepare.”

"Sister-in-law, you are right, then I will go with you." Liu Yu said hurriedly.

Lin Rantong glanced at Liu Yu, then pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that because Cui Zhenlei had wrapped around Liu Yu like a dog's skin plaster, this girl had a psychological shadow. In fact, she was not the same. , I have an instinctive disgust in my heart, wishing to stay as far away as possible.

The matter was settled like this, everyone had a quick meal, except for a few people left at home, the rest divided into two groups to act.

"Tao Haiyang, that place hasn't arrived yet?" Lin Rantong asked.

Tao Haiyang gave Lin Rantong a funny look. This woman is strong in everything, but she has a negative IQ in the aspect of knowing the way. People can't help laughing at her, but just looked at Liu Yuan who is next to her. , After all, he didn't say anything else, but said lightly: "Here, that's where it is."

Lin Rantong looked in the direction of Tao Haiyang's finger, and saw that his sight was completely covered by a forest with dense trees and luxuriant branches and leaves. Only when he looked carefully could he find a corner of the building hidden in the forest.

Lin Rantong and the others quickened their pace, and after a while, they came to the front, passing through the forest with towering trees and wild flowers, a group of buildings appeared in front of everyone.

"This, this seems to be a school." Lin Rantong opened his mouth in surprise and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but say.

"That's right, this is indeed a school, and it was built before the end of the world." Tao Haiyang said, he was originally from the Stone Base, and he knew more about some things about the base than Lin Rantong and other outsiders like Lin Rantong. many.

"It was built before the end of the world? It's incredible." Liu Yu looked at the school in front of him. Compared with the schools that can be seen everywhere before the end of the world, it has more Chinese style. It is located in the quiet and beautiful forest, more like an ancient academy up.

Tao Haiyang nodded and said: "Yes, we all find this very strange. It seems that most of the buildings in these bases were completed before the end of the world, as if the leaders of Huaguo knew that the end of the world was coming. These shelters were planned."

Lin Rantong remembered that everyone had this idea when they first went to the Pearl Base in the east, and their ivy was also registered there.

Ivy... the name was given by the always taciturn Wei Xiuning.

How did he come up with the name?

Lin Rantong shook his head hurriedly, restraining his divergent thoughts, why do you feel that those things have passed away?She smiled wryly, and turned her mind to the building in front of her, but she became more and more satisfied as she looked at it.

"Unfortunately, no matter how foresighted it is, this school is still abandoned." Lin Rantong sighed.

Liu Yuan looked at the school and said: "Yeah, after all, the end of the world has not come, and no one can imagine how cruel it is. Now it is a difficult task for the government to arrange for the survivors to survive. How can they spare the children? What about education?"

Lin Rantong laughed softly: "No wonder I asked the chief for a place, preferably a quiet and independent one. He said that there is a place that I am sure I am satisfied with, so it is here."

"Don't stand around stupidly, let's go in and have a look." Tao Haiyang said and walked in first.

It took them more than half an hour to browse around every corner of the school, and they felt even more satisfied.

The teaching building, dormitory building, canteen, playground and other functional areas are complete here, all surrounded by iron fences, which provides convenience for future management.

What's even more rare is that although it is located in the base, there are stretches of forests on the front, back, left, and right sides, making this place a quiet paradise amidst the hustle and bustle.

"It is said that there was originally a small forest, but somehow the trees grew wildly, and it became like this." Tao Haiyang said.

"It's good, it feels more comfortable to live here than with us, right, sister-in-law?" Liu Yu turned to Lin Rantong and said.

Lin Rantong nodded and said, "Yes, if we let the children live here, we will indeed move here."

All functional areas are ready-made, and I only need to consider the safety of the children living here and the livelihood of the children, Lin Rantong secretly thought.

"Ran Tong, you might as well consider the head of the Free Mercenary Department." Tao Haiyang said suddenly.

Lin Rantong was taken aback for a moment, and then thought, if he became the head of the free mercenary department, he would have the right to set up the headquarters here, right?In that case, if the children live here, their safety will be guaranteed. After all, no one who is open-minded will want to fight against the free mercenaries in the entire base.

Lin Rantong couldn't help rubbing his brows and said, "Ocean, why do I feel that things are going around and around, it seems to be destined long ago?"

Tao Haiyang looked at her helpless and playful look, and the hand that was about to reach out to touch her face abruptly stopped in mid-air and said, "Who made you suddenly have such an amazing idea? It's probably God's will."

Lin Rantong pursed her lips, turned to Liu Yuan and said, "Husband, your wife is going to be an official, don't you object?"

Liu Yuan smiled: "I want to say objection, do you mean that objection is invalid? I don't know your temperament yet. Once a decision is made, no one can change it."

"Hehe." Lin Rantong smirked.

"It's almost done, let's go back." Tao Haiyang said suddenly.

Glancing vaguely at Tao Haiyang's depressed face, Lin Rantong secretly said, Haiyang, you have to accept this reality as soon as possible and let it go.

"Let's go." Lin Rantong said.

Several people were about to turn around and leave when Liu Yu suddenly said, "Look, what is that?"
