Five people spent the New Year's Eve on the snowfield for the last three years of mourning and ushered in the Spring Festival for the fourth year of mourning.

And now, they are trekking hard in the direction of Kyoto.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, they finally saw the towering city walls of Kyoto from a distance on the horizon.

They thought that the city walls of Daxing were strong enough, and they didn't know what Kyoto was until they came under the city of Kyoto.

The towering city walls, the heavily armed guards on the city walls, the ubiquitous police officers in uniform...

It's all telling the world:

This is Kyoto.

Are there refugee camps in Kyoto?

Have.

But unlike Daxing, the refugee camps in Kyoto are not protected within the city, but isolated from the city walls.

Countless shabby shacks spread out all the way against the roots of the city wall, and densely covered the open space outside the city.

Every few steps, there will be a fire pit made of bricks and stones for the refugees to heat and cook.

Refugees who could not pay the detention fee shrunk in their shacks with frozen faces, staring numbly at the cars and crowds coming and going at the city gate.

Someone came out with several black packages.

It was the poor man who froze to death last night.

The snotty child was hugged by a man with ragged clothes and red eyes, crying and tugging at the corner of the package, shouting hoarsely:

"Mother-"

"Mother-!"

"Wuuu don't take my mother away!!"

"My mom she just fell asleep—mom—"

…

Even in the middle of winter, Kyoto is still crowded with people.

There are many vehicles jammed at the gate of the city waiting to enter the city, and the inspection procedures for entering the city are extremely cumbersome, and the speed of the team is extremely slow.

Ni Youqing returned to Beijing in secret, so the priority green card of the institute could not be used easily.

Therefore, they could only honestly pay a huge amount of detention fee and then enter the city after falling at the tail of the long queue to wait for the inspection.

The peculiarly shaped car attracted a lot of curious eyes, but it was because of the city guards that it did not act rashly.

Xiao Shenwei fell into a deep sleep again.

Rong Yun looked at his sleeping face beside the bed, and rubbed his fingers over the blue spots that appeared on his wrist.

In just a few days, the plaque that was originally the size of the thumb had spread to the size of a palm, and was printed on Xiao Shenwei's pale skin, which was shocking.

"Xiao Shenwei—"

Rong Yun held Xiao Shenwei's hand and lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

"...Xiao Shenwei..."

…

When Chengwei brought someone into the car to check, Rong Yunzheng put Xiao Shenwei's arm into the quilt, and the bloodshot in his eyes still hadn't dissipated.

"Shh—he's asleep."

Seeing the person coming, Rong Yun put his finger on his lips and whispered, "Let's go out and talk."

The leading guard looked at the bed from outside the door: "Is he...?"

"Sick, we brought him to Beijing to see a doctor."

Rong Yun smiled bitterly, a little red in the circles of his eyes.

Very sincere.

The guard walked in.

Ping Hanhai and Tang Qiu followed, exchanging secret glances with Rong Yun.

Once the guards do something wrong, they will immediately shoot.

The handsome young man on the bed was lying on his side, his face pale and his brows furrowed.

If it weren't for the slightly heaving chest, the guards almost thought it was a dead person.

"What disease?"

"leukemia."

Ni Youqing took out a report from the Daxing Quarantine Station from his arms and handed it over.

She is the person in charge of the quarantine station herself, and it is easy to come up with a report.

The guard took it over and looked at it. After confirming that the official seal was correct, he nodded and looked at Rong Yun with some sympathy: "Your brother is sick... Well, it's not me who hit you, if it was a few years earlier, there is still hope for coming to Kyoto. But now this year..."

The guard didn't say any more.

Anyone present understands the truth.

"Can you do it, you have to give it a try."

Rong Yun lowered his eyes and tightened his fingers into fists.

"Okay, I don't think you have any problems. Go in." The guard jumped out of the car, turned around and reminded again: "Don't use force when entering the city, or you will be banned from entering the capital forever if you are thrown out. Seriously, then The group of black skins can directly kill you on the spot."

"Okay. Thank you." Rong Yun smiled at the guard.

"No thanks. My brother is about the same age as your brother, but when the mourning came three years ago..."

The guard said, his voice hoarse.

"Forget it, good luck to you."

With a wave of their hands, the guards let them into the city.

Someone at the gate of the city was handing out candy in a red cloth pocket. Last night, that family gave birth to the first newborn in Kyoto in the last four years of mourning.

In this world, life and death are happening all the time.

But many people believe that the world will be fine in the end.

everything will get better.

Rong Yun held two candies wrapped in red paper in his hands, and gently pushed Xiao Shenwei's hair behind his ears with his fingers.

"The hair is a little longer."

"Someone sent out candy outside, it's mint flavored."

"I made pumpkin porridge and I'm warming it in the kitchen, do you want to get up and drink some?"

Xiao Shenwei's breathing was heavy and he didn't respond.

Rong Yun lowered his eyes, looked at the candy in his hand, and thought of the blessing that the person who gave the candy had sent him after learning that he had a lover:

Give birth to your son early!

...to give birth to a child early.

Rong Yun's mouth curved.

…

…

Different from the lively and peaceful atmosphere in Daxing City, the city of Kyoto is full of people in a hurry.

The streets were swept spotlessly, and even the snow was removed from the roads.

The passers-by do not take a leisurely stroll like Daxing City, and those who are familiar, whether they recognize it or not, will smile and say hello.

There was almost no smile on their faces, only endless anxiety and exhaustion.

There are alphas wearing black light armor and black masks patrolling the streets with guns everywhere.

The only feeling here is depression and tension.

Ni Youqing held the three wolf cubs in his arms and frowned as he looked out the window.

When she left, the atmosphere here was far less tense than it is now.

In the end what happened?

Ni Youqing was temporarily inconvenient to show his face, Ping Hanhai stopped the car, Tang Qiu jumped off, stopped a passerby, and asked politely:

"Brother, may I ask... what happened in the city recently? It wasn't like this the last time I came here."

The man glanced at him, then looked at the modified car behind Tang Qiu, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"There was an accident at a research institute a few days ago. A zombie for research ran out and killed several people. That's how it happened."

"What about zombies?"

"He was killed on the spot by the Black Armored Army, and the research institute was shut down."

"What's the name of the institute...?"

"...What's it called, I forgot, I just remember that the person in charge seems to be surnamed Lin."

"...That's it...Thank you bro, you're busy."

Tang Qiu went back to the car and summed up the man's words.

Veterinarian Ni is sitting cross-legged on the floor and rubbing his stomach for the dumplings.

This guy has eaten too much, his stomach is a whole circle bigger than the buns and dumplings, and is burping.

"Surname Lin?"

Ni Youqing's hand suddenly stopped, she raised her head and frowned.

"There are very few people in Kyoto who are qualified to arrest zombies for research. As far as I know, the only person in charge is Lin Sen from the Evergreen Research Institute."

"I have cooperated with him. This person is very capable and extremely cautious. All laboratories related to zombies have added no less than five layers of isolation. It is not like him when doing experiments carelessly enough to allow zombies to escape."

Rong Yun looked at the black armored army outside.

They shuttled through the crowd, as if looking for someone.

"If such an accident occurs in the research institute, what will happen to the person in charge?"

"If civilians are killed, they will be prosecuted for manslaughter." Ni Youqing was a little absent-minded.

In all fairness, Lin Sen's personal ability is extremely good, and Ni Youqing admires him very much.

Even Zhou Ping once threw an olive branch to Lin Sen, hoping that he would join his research team.

But Linsen refused.

He not only refused, but also rebuked Zhou Ping for doing radical experiments with antibody carriers.

Since then, Zhou Ping has never mentioned the matter of absorbing Lin Sen into the team.

Ni Youqing vaguely felt that the accident at the Changqing Research Institute was probably inseparable from Zhou Ping.

To put it harshly, this guy Zhou Ping is an old yinbi. For the sake of fame and fortune, he can do anything wicked and smoking.

But unfortunately, it was not until the end of the mourning that she was forcibly pulled into a secret experiment, and she got to know the brothers who had been doing research with Zhou Ping, and then she slowly understood the essence of this person.

At the same time, she was also thankful that she was not assimilated by him into the kind of person she hated the most.

The car followed Ni Youqing's guidance into the city and drove towards her secret laboratory.

Not far away, a man wearing a beige trench coat, hat and mask saw a black armored guard approaching, turned around without hesitation, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

…

…

Xiao Shenwei woke up when he was hugged by Rong Yun and got out of the car.

What attracted him to wake up was the brightly lit street not far away, and the aroma of various Kyoto snacks floating on the street.

When Tantou got out of the car, he threw his saliva and was about to run towards the snack street, but it was only by the combined efforts of Rong Yun, Ping Hanhai and Tang Qiu that he was able to hold him.

During this period, Tantou stepped on the steamed bun inadvertently, and stepped on the steamed steamed bun to scream on the spot.

Tang Qiu picked up the steamed bun in distress and rubbed the little paw it had stepped on.

Then he stepped on the bun, who was startled by the scream, and turned around abruptly, and stepped on the dumpling again.

Dumpling: "Ow-!"

Tang Qiu: …

Xiao Shenwei: ...is there any way to save this IQ?

Tang Yuan probably felt that only his younger brother could bully him, so he gnashed his teeth and bit on Charcoal Tou's claws.

Charcoal head: "Wang Wang Wang!"

Hanamaki jumped out of the car on the catwalk and glanced at Tantou.

Charcoal howled even more.

"...Excuse me."

Xiao Shenwei squatted down and tore the dumplings, which were not even full of teeth, from the charcoal head's claws.

Tantou hid behind Rong Yun with his ears and limping feet, and looked at the cute and cute little milk wolf in Xiao Shenwei's arms with tears in his eyes.

...the drama.

The tangyuan teeth didn't even grow.

Tantou snorted twice, raised his paw and handed it to Xiao Shenwei.

Xiao Shenwei was stunned for a second, then saw Tang Qiu who was rubbing his claws on dumplings and buns, and understood.

He reluctantly picked up the big paw and pinched it, speaking earnestly:

"Charcoal head-"

"Ow?"

"It wasn't this paw that you just got bitten."
