On the streets, the people at the bottom who were watching the mutants advance to the exam were getting more and more emotional, and the 10 exam rooms had already begun to take the exam.

The commentators in every examination room were shouting hard, and some commentators saw the excitement and stood directly on the table, raising their hands and cheering.

Yincai walked slowly to an alley, the bustle behind her gradually faded away, she had not seen District 67 so lively for a long time, this low-level district in the northwest, just near the western industrial zone, where only old people and children could be seen for many years.

Most of the young people work in factories all year round, only coming back once in a while, and every once in a while they return to where they were born, and the streets of the houses are still the same as they were forty years ago, just getting older.

There used to be a lot of children here, but now there are fewer, most of them are old people, with some familiar faces, and Yincai didn't take the initiative to greet these people, because she knew very well that if she said hello, it would be difficult for her to get out.

When I came here, Yincai let the local officers of the acting section not have to follow him, every time, so every time Yincai came, these section officers were also very interested and no longer publicized, but they would still invite Yincai to dinner, and Yincai would go from time to time.

But a lot of the time, Tone likes to wander around the area alone, not because she misses anything, but because she wants to see, and she herself may not know exactly what she's looking for.

A long time ago, when the western industrial zone was built, there was no birth control, and there were many children, and Yincai still remembers that the streets at that time were full of children, and as time went by, the children who grew up left here, and they were reluctant to come back, and if they had a family, they would occasionally come back, and if they didn't have a family, they would basically not come back.

Although every few years every district will open up reproductive rights, but in many poor districts at the bottom, many parents have voluntarily given up their reproductive rights, and there are many districts at the bottom like District 67, where only the old people who have lost their candles in the wind have no future and are dying little by little.

This time, the pungent smell of metal in the wind faded a little, and Toncai walked down a stone path between the winding houses, and walked up little by little, and in the distance you could see a large building standing on the top of a hill, dilapidated and about to collapse.

The original white dome has been covered in black and gray, and this war-built facility has been used as a temporary shelter for the homeless for many years.

Finally converted into an orphanage, where the land was worthless, the sound stopped, and looked at the broken wooden door on the left, with a small piece of metal tied to it, on which a line of small letters was engraved.

Zhang Lin, if you go home, remember to go to your uncle's house in District 89 to find us, we are waiting for you.

The rusty metal plaque is the 30th time I've seen it in my memory, and no one has touched it.

Yincai once inquired, there are 15 people named Zhang Lin in the city, but none of them were born here, and the age is not right, so this person named Zhang Lin should be a black household, in the past, there were many criminals, illegitimate people, and people who were expelled to the barrier area, and relied on the ravine area that was not fully formed at that time and returned to the city, and even many people who were unwilling to pay taxes, chose to hide when the population information was registered, and became a black household.

With the virtualization of currency, these black households have gradually surfaced, 20 years ago when Niya took office, there was a blow, but now there are still some black households left at the bottom, many of them are in a dilemma, they can only rely on some local power gangs, help handle wallets, and rely on meager income to survive.

Among them, after the implementation of birth control that year, more children were born, and Yincai used to be a black household.

In front of me was a broken bridge, and in a nearly 5-meter-deep ravine, some rusty metal spikes and some scattered bones could be seen, which was originally a fortress on top of a hill, with a ravine and a wall nearly 10 meters high.

A large section of the wall on the right side of the façade has collapsed, and the main building inside is the tall igloo that can be seen before, with a total of 8 floors, surrounded by large and small houses, and the surrounding area is no longer inhabited.

The bridge more than 20 meters long, Yincai jumped over half-crouched and landed on the metal gate that had fallen, and the memory began to float back to his mind.

When she was 14 years old, when she walked out of here, an old worker who often worked on the construction site saw that she was pitiful and took her to the construction site.

The days when she was a black household are the most vivid in Otocai's memory, she had to avoid the people who acted in the department from time to time, and she had to pay a certain amount of money to the local organization on a regular basis.

In the past, in order to warn the black households that still had a large number of remnants, the arrest of the black households by the Operations Section was usually sentenced to 5 years in prison, but when Yincai was 18 years old, she was arrested, and she either went to the eastern grain base to work and serve 5 years in prison, or left the city directly.

At the age of 23, Yincai came out of prison and obtained a level 3 citizenship and a labor fee of 2,000 yuan, Yincai was shocked at the time, she never thought that after she was released from prison, she would still have a sum of money that could cover her temporary life, and she would not need to pay taxes in the next 3 months.

For the past five years, Yincai has worked on the farm during the day and learned to read and write at night with an old woman in the same cell.

Look at the cylindrical 8-storey building in front of you, which is about to collapse, and has been unattended since more than 30 years ago.

On the ground that has been corroded black by a large number of harmful metal substances, there is a lot of garbage arranged at random, and inside the wall, in a lower place, you can see some colorful graffiti, and a string of faded notes that can no longer be seen, Yincai walked over, pressed her hand against the wall, these notes were drawn by her before, with the oldest boy in this orphanage.

More and more things came to memories, and Toncai had been searching for the children in this orphanage for all these years, and more than a dozen were missing, while the rest were already registered on the death list.

This orphanage is quite large, when the music was smaller, there were almost 100 children in the orphanage, and the director worked hard to maintain the use of the entire orphanage, relying on a factory he operated, and he went back and forth to several districts every day to collect donations everywhere.

But it is difficult to feed so many children, and there are often children who die because of illness, and the only way for those who die is to burn them and throw them into ravines.

Yincai once asked the dean if he wanted to bury them, but the dean often said that although the sun was weak, this was a mountain, and the sunlight could reach it, and he wanted to let the children who had been sleeping in the ravine bask in the sun.

The most common thing the dean told the children was that as long as they grew up and had the strength, they could live, and as long as they were still bathed in the sun, they could live.

It's just that the factory run by the dean eventually closed down, and Yincai still remembers that the dean was still thinking about countermeasures at that time, and she saw the dean coming back from outside several times, empty-handed, with a sad face, but after coming back, the dean smiled happily again.

There are fewer and fewer children, some children are lucky and are accepted by other welfare institutions, some children who are more beautiful are adopted, and in the end there are fewer and fewer children left, and those who are born thin and have diseases all die here without exception.

The dean still runs outside every day.

"Where are you going? Allan. ”

Yincai will always remember the day when the children left behind were cared for by 16-year-old Allen and 14-year-old Yincai every day in the torment of hunger and illness.

However, when there were still nine children in the orphanage, Alan chose to leave.

"Come with me, we should be able to live."

"Didn't you say you are a father and I am a mother, for them!"

Without any hesitation, Alan left the orphanage, and Toncai did not chase after her, knowing full well that if she left, the remaining children would die.

Eventually, the Dean returned, and this time he returned with a desperate expression, no longer smiling, and the Dean persuaded Oto-chae to leave.

What Yin Cai has thought about the most over the years is that she finally left, if she didn't leave at that time, she might also die here, after leaving for a while, she made some money and wanted to come back, this place that can be called home, but the reality is cruel.

Click

Tone stepped into the door of the building in front of her, and when she looked up, she seemed to be back in time when she was 15 years old, and there were still decaying knots hanging on the beams, and the dean committed suicide.

There was a sound of footsteps

"Color!"

A voice came from behind her, Yincai's eyes widened, but she didn't turn her head, she was a little puzzled, turned around and smiled slightly, the man behind her was wearing an ordinary, white T-shirt, black jeans, with a smile on his face, but his face was slightly pale, his facial features were upright, and he had short hair.

It's just that Yincai seems to be confirming something, the man in front of her seems to have seen somewhere, the man smiled at Yincai, approached slowly, took out a key from his pocket, and suddenly Yincai's eyes widened.

"Are you....... Allan! ”

The man nodded, and put the uniquely shaped rusty key in Yincai's hand, with many irregular serrations on both sides of the key, and a plum blossom pattern on the handle.

Yin Cai was still staring at the man in front of her, and she didn't believe it right away, although the man's silhouette did look familiar, and the man who called himself Allen walked past Yin Cai's side.

"Follow me."

Yincai hesitated a little with the key in his hand, but he followed quickly, everything in the hall of the building was very messy, and there was a lot of waste piled up.

Alan walked all the way to the stairs with his sound, and after going up the stairs for a distance, they divided into left and right sides, Alan stopped at the middle staircase, and then reached out and pressed on the staircase, sweeping away the accumulated dust, and soon revealed a small piece of metal, which he pulled open to reveal a keyhole.

Tone Cai looked at Alan with some surprise, the location of this keyhole is indeed only known to himself and Allen, and there is a relatively large bunker below, but it has long been abandoned, and there is nothing in it.

"Want to go down and have a look! It hasn't been back for many years. ”

Toncai walked over and inserted the key directly into the keyhole, and after turning, with a crisp click, the stairs on both sides of the keyhole clattered downward, revealing an entrance, and a musty smell came out.

Alan didn't say anything, took out his phone, turned on the lighting function, a staircase down, the bottom was empty, Alan went down directly, and the sound was stunned to look at this back, in memory Alan is often like this, when no one is around, go below, the bunker here is like a secret base that only she and Alan know.

Toncai finally nodded and followed, and underneath was a bunker that stretched all the way to the edge of the ravine.

However, at this time, Yincai was a little surprised, her eyes widened, and in the originally empty bunker below, there were some things placed on the edges of the sides.

Smack

The lights came on, and Tonca's eyes widened, and there were a lot of weapons and small training facilities in the bunker, and she had no idea what was going on in front of her, and after checking some places, she found signs of human life.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tone looked at Alan, and Ellen turned around, looked at Tone and said.

"The Dean is still alive."

In an instant, Tone's eyes widened, and Eren continued to walk towards Tone, looking like he was going to leave, and suddenly Tone stopped in front of Allen.

"What the hell is going on?"

Out of the corner of Cinza's eye, a large pile of weapons could be seen under the cover of cloth.

"I'm just a black guy now, and you may have too many things to ask, but the only thing I can tell you is that it's going to get worse and worse."

As he spoke, Alan continued to walk, and Toncai pressed Alan on the shoulder.

"Come back with me and tell me everything you know."

Alan smiled.

"You're fine now, you've completely changed, or you haven't changed all along, and I'm ....... It's the same. ”

Alan turned his head as he spoke, and he smiled when he looked at each other.

"If you believe me, we'll meet again."

Yin Cai looked at Alan in surprise, and at this time she was sure that the man in front of her was indeed Allen.

"For a man who abandoned this place many years ago, can there be any credibility!"

Ellen handed the key to Timber again.

"Take the key, I'm here to give it to you."

Yincai hesitated, but finally let go of her hand, at this time her originally heavy mood improved a little, because the man in front of her was still alive, which Yincai did not expect.

"What the hell have you been doing all these years!"

Alan walked up the stairs and turned around.

"I'm looking for some kind of meaning to live."

"Did you find it?"

Alan nodded.

"Please trust me, you're the only person I can trust."
