Chapter 1933 – Sanctuary and Spring Festival
Sinking Dragon Pass.
As the battlefield was cleaned up and the many Night Watchmen returned inside the Sinking Dragon Pass, the sea water in the distance had already obliterated the devastation left behind by the battle, and the mottled hollows in the sky that had been scalded out were healing a little.
Wu Quan had just walked back into the Sinking Dragon Pass when a figure cloaked in a dark red cloak came up to him, looking like he was about to say something.
”What’s wrong?”
”It’s that group of reporters who were sent to Sinking Dragon Pass …… They want to interview Commander Lin.”
Hearing this reply, Wu Quan’s brows furrowed slightly, his gaze looking not far away, the
A few figures, soaked and wretched, were carrying equipment, standing somewhat restrainedly and expectantly, looking blearily inside the Sinking Dragon Pass, seemingly searching for something.
”I’ll go take a look.” Wu Quan walked straight toward them.
”It’s a night watchman who manipulates the heavens!” A member of the exploration team’s eyes lit up when he saw Wu Quan approaching, and the rest of the crowd immediately surrounded him.
”Hello …… May I ask what to call you?”
”My surname is Wu.”
”Mr. Wu, it’s like this, we just recorded the entire process of this great battle up there, I wonder if we can have the opportunity to meet Commander Lin face to face and do a simple little interview?” Reporter Liao spoke sincerely.
”It won’t take up too much of Commander Lin’s time, at most five …… no, three minutes! Right now, all of Daxia is looking forward to meeting Commander Lin head on, please help me inform him, please!”
”I’m really sorry.” Wu Quan calmly spoke, “Commander Lin’s affairs are really busy, the battle over here just ended, and he has already gone to the headquarters to deal with something else……. Right now, it is estimated that he has already arrived in Shangjing City, so he really can’t accept your interview.”
”Ah? So soon?” Reporter Liao froze.
”Speaking of which, after letting the Night Watch clean up the battlefield, it’s true that I haven’t seen Commander Lin appear again ……”
”Just finished such a fierce battle and went back to work?”
”This is too busy, isn’t it?”
The Exploration Team’s crowd looked at each other helplessly, and although Reporter Liao was disappointed, she could only speak:
”Well …… thanks for informing us.”
The disappointed ones were not only the members of the exploration team, but also the viewers in the live broadcast room, the previous shocking battle had made everyone curious about the mysterious Commander Lin, and the exploration team, which was also in the Sinking Dragon Pass, was undoubtedly the closest to Commander Lin’s existence.
Seeing that there was no way to see Commander Lin, the crowd in front of the screen was a bit lost, the next live broadcast was the exploration team casually walking in the Sinking Dragon Pass, in addition to a wide range of weapons and hard barriers, there is nothing else, a part of the people suddenly lost interest.
Zhao Zhengbin swiped around the network, there were replays and comments on the live broadcast of the battle, he had just finished watching the live broadcast, and was not interested in these.
Counting the time, the meal distribution had also started, he touched his somewhat hungry stomach and got up to walk towards the dormitory.
”Mom, I’m back.”
Zhao Zhengbin walked into the room and found his mother sitting at the small table, holding something that looked like a flyer in her hand, lost in thought.
”What took you so long to shop?” Mother pointed to the two lunchboxes on the table that were wrapped in an insulated bag, “Just now someone came over to deliver the food, I see that you haven’t come back yet, so I’ll put it here to keep it warm first, it shouldn’t be cold yet.”
”Good.”
Zhao Zhengbin sat down at the table and unwrapped the two lunchboxes, two veggies, one meat and one soup, and two bowls full of rice, the other lunchbox was loaded with apples, grapes, bananas and other fruits, as well as two boxes of fresh milk.
Zhao Zhengbin’s eyebrows rose slightly, this food treatment is not worse than eating at home ah ……
”Mom, that side was so lively just now, didn’t you go out to see it?”
”There were too many people outside, so I didn’t go to squeeze …… But I heard them shouting something outside, what commander? Is it another war?”
”Fought, we won.”
Zhao Zhengbin guessed that with his mother’s character, he may not pay attention to these live broadcasts, but no matter what, this is also a major event that concerns everyone’s life, he still described the scene of the big battle just now to his mother, but she seemed to be a little distracted.
”It’s good to win …… It’s good to win.”
”Mom, what are you looking at?” Zhao Zhengbin saw that his mother was always holding a piece of paper and asked in confusion.
”When that person delivered the food just now, he delivered a construction map of the shelter, labeling a few accidental escape routes and whatnot ……”
”What’s there to see in this thing?”
The mother hesitated for a moment, but still handed this piece of paper to Zhao Zhengbin, “Xiao Bin ah …… look, the construction of this shelter, isn’t it something you’ve seen somewhere?”
”Ah?”
Zhao Zhengbin froze and took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
This drawing was different from the map he saw in the corridor, the map in the corridor was mainly used to label the dormitory serial number, and the route to the dining hall and other areas, the details were just too much and too miscellaneous, whereas the map in his hands was simplified quite a bit, deleting all the unnecessary labels, and only drawing out a few fire escape routes.
It was precisely for this reason that this map looked very concise and clear, and the outline of the entire shelter was sketched out.
It was only then that Zhao Zhengbin realized that the plane layout of this shelter was not a neat rectangle or circle, but rather a hive arrangement that resembled a vortex, with each pathway bending at a specific arc, and from afar, it looked instead like some sort of centrally symmetrical mysterious symbol.
”Hiss ……” Zhao Zhengbin put this drawing into the distance, only staring at the outline of this planar layout, vaguely, it does look somewhat familiar ……
”Strange …… seems to be indeed a little familiar …… is where I have seen it?” Zhao Zhengbin opened his mouth in disbelief.
”The spring couplets on the door of our old home.”
Hearing his mother’s prompting, Zhao Zhengbin looked like he remembered something and slowly opened his mouth wide ……
”The year your father died, weren’t there a few comrades who came to offer their condolences? At that time, it seemed like it was just a few days before the Spring Festival, they brought some New Year’s goods, and a pair of spring couplets, and before they left, they personally helped us paste them on the door …… Then every year on New Year’s Eve, they would send a new pair of spring couplets over.”
The mother pointed to the outline of the shelter on that picture, “Every year, on the spring couplets, there is this pattern.”
Zhao Zhengbin froze for a long time, only feeling that his brain was a little messy ……
”The structure of the refuge …… and the Spring Festival couplets of the old home?” Zhao Zhengbin scratched his head, “It’s indeed exactly the same, but how could it be?”
The old family spring couplets had that pattern on them, it should have been almost ten years ago, how come it’s now colliding with this shelter? And this pattern is so complicated and strange, it doesn’t look like any popular symbols, could there really be such a coincidence?
Mother sighed, or put down the drawings, “No matter, eat first …… should just be a coincidence, this night watchman designed something, with our family door can have what relationship …… ”
Zhao Zhengbin always felt where it was not quite right, but could not say, thinking hard for a long time, there is still no answer, can only be bored to start eating.
