"Let me take a look... Shen Bai, um, a student in Class 27, senior high school."

The dean wearing glasses frowned and looked at Shen Bai:

“Do you want to apply for [Flexible Study]?”

"Yes, teacher." Shen Bai, wearing school uniform, stood beside him and put a lot of materials in his hand on the table.

The teaching director checked item by item, and when he saw the vitality index test report provided by the Warrior Center, there were some differences:

"6.4?"

"Hehe, I've made rapid progress recently."

The dean seemed to have some realization.

Public high schools in this era can apply for flexible enrollment. You only need to come to school every month to take cultural exams and pass them all, and you can study outside school.

However, most people would not do this. After all, most people who attend public high schools are from ordinary families and are in great need of public education resources.

After a few minutes, the official seal was stamped. Shen Bai put away all the documents, went back to his seat to clean up, said a few words to Gu Yumang and the others, and walked out of the classroom.

In the corridor, he met Fenghua Rei who was coming to school.

The girl had a bandage on her head, her red hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was holding a bag of milk in her mouth, looking like she had just woken up.

"Xiaobai." Classmate Feng greeted.

Shen Bai smiled and waved, without much communication. Maybe it was psychological effect. He somehow felt that this red-haired transfer student was... smarter than before.

Could it be that killing people has the effect of curing brain damage?

Shen Bai came up with this ridiculous idea, walked out of the school gate and came to the street.

It feels so...refreshing to walk outside during class time.

He walked briskly, instead of going home, he went to a store, bought some gifts, and then took the city-circuit light rail to another neighborhood.

In Shen Bai's pocket, the silver-white card lay quietly.

In the ruined world, Miss Black Cat used some power to take out this card. Shen Bai thought that this card would give him a sudden increase in power just like the original stone embedded in his left hand.

But Sister Mao'er's words poured cold water on him:

"This card is a key, a stepping stone for you to make rapid progress after leaving the public high school training system."

As for how to use it, Miss Black Cat didn't tell him, she just smiled and asked him to wait for a few more days.

Therefore, in addition to daily martial arts training these days, Shen Bai just dealt with some personal matters, such as applying for flexible enrollment procedures, contacting Li Xiaorui and so on.

Yesterday he went to chat with Li Xiaorui, and today he decided to visit Li Xiaorui's father's house.

The cities in the federal era are very different from the technological era. One of the distinctive features is that the city covers a large area, because the growth of warriors requires a lot of exercise and a certain space environment. Moreover, it is now surrounded by old land and is too crowded. The city is not conducive to a sudden outbreak of war.

It's okay to go to Ocean Heart Commercial Center or school. Shen Bai can go for a run, but if the destination is the "Blue Flower Street" where Li Xiaorui's father is located, it will take more than an hour even by light rail.

At around eleven o'clock at noon, Shen Bai finished his commute and came to an old-fashioned residential complex.

"Ding dong——" He pressed the doorbell. After waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement inside. He stepped slightly, reached into the crack of the glass door above, touched it and pulled out a key.

Click——

"Uncle Li, I, Xiaobai, have come in."

As Shen Bai said that, he pushed the door open and walked in. Everything he saw was messy.

Clothes that had not been washed for several days were scattered everywhere, rancid food remnants were eaten by rats, and there was a lingering smell of alcohol in the air. It was obvious that the owner of the house was hungover again last night.

Shen Bai came to the bedroom with ease and saw Uncle Li sleeping soundly on the bed.

He thought about it and didn't wake him up immediately. He just took out the mop and vacuum cleaner from the utility room and started cleaning.

Uncle Li who was sleeping in the bedroom was soon woken up by the sound. He rubbed his eyes and walked out. When he saw it was Shen Bai, he smiled sheepishly and picked up the tools to clean up the house together.

"I've made you laugh again, Xiaobai, your uncle Li and I were a little over the limit last night..."

"It's okay, uncle. I'll just keep exercising, but don't drink like that anymore. Even though you are a warrior, you can't drink ten pounds of alcohol every day!"

"Hey, isn't that guy Xiao Rui a little worried because he hasn't come to see me for a month..."

"Uncle Li, you two, father and son, are so stubborn after all these years."

The two of them chatted and cleaned up the house. Uncle Li ordered some expensive takeaways and left Shen Bai to have lunch. Although he drank too much, his body was already strong as a warrior. After decomposing the ethanol, he sobered up and looked like a normal person. Not surprisingly, the conversation with Shen Bai was quite interesting.

Uncle Li is sixty-three years old this year. Due to his low level of martial arts, long-term alcoholism and irregular life schedule, his face has aged quickly. Living alone in this community is really desolate.

Shen Bai knew something about the Li family and his son, but he could only say nothing about it.

Uncle Li used to be an agent in the official establishment of the security department, and he was a third-level agent. He was a junior official and could already lead a team to handle some things.

However, when Li Xiaorui was twelve years old, Uncle Li committed a crime and was dismissed from his post and investigated and imprisoned for ten years.

This matter caused a lot of controversy at the time, and was finally convicted under pressure from some big figures in Lanhai City. It was said that it would have affected Li Xiaorui's qualifications to enter the police station, but Uncle Li had some connections over the years, so he pushed Li Xiaorui away. Go in.

However, during the years when Uncle Li was in prison, Li Xiaorui lived a very hard life. Most of his childhood playmates were children who were employees of the Lanhai City Public Security Station. Children, whose speech is not as "hypocritical" as adults, will use He insulted me with words such as "You are the son of a bad guy" and "Your father betrayed the police station."

What greeted them must be Li Xiaorui's immature fists.

Li Xiaorui's childhood was full of poverty and sadness.

So much so that after Uncle Li was released from prison, the father and son rarely saw each other.

Li Xiaorui also doesn't like others to mention this tainted father.

Shen Bai and Uncle Li chatted one after another, and the topic slowly turned to Li Xiaorui. When talking about Li Xiaorui's current "business", Uncle Li just sighed and murmured:

"Oh, yes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the mouse's son can dig holes. I'm already like this, what else can I ask of him..."

There is unconcealable sadness and loneliness in the words.

When Shen Bai came out of Uncle Li's house, it was already dark. He stretched himself, bought some toys and snacks to share with Miss Black Cat, and got on the light rail home.

…

…

Five thousand seven hundred kilometers away from Lanhai City, there is a high mountain, about four thousand meters high, majestic and majestic, but if you look carefully, you can see the metallic luster reflected by the mountain during the day.

——Someone hollowed out this 4,000-meter mountain and turned it into a huge machine!

After a series of hidden sentries and armed guards, staff members wearing standard white coats were busy shuttling back and forth in the mountain.

Crystal stones of various colors, the blood and limbs of mutated beasts, rough spiritual energy transmission pipes, extremely precise machinery...

Calm and orderly, this research base hidden under the mountain gives people a cold and suffocating feeling.

In the deepest part of the base, behind the door sign that reads "Office of the Person in Charge of Daluan Mountain Observation Station", a man with golden eyes is drinking coffee elegantly.

He is extremely particular. He scrapes his fingernails clean with a silver knife. He never drinks two kinds of coffee from one cup. When he smiles at people, the corners of his mouth tilt 25 degrees to reveal eight teeth. His golden glasses are spotless.

The refined and calm man who manages the orderly research base is a match made in heaven.

The beeping sound sounded, and the golden eyes sipped the coffee and elegantly read the information on the top-secret express:

"Notice from the Second Court, all persons in charge in the sixth living circle (Utopia) please pay attention, the third-level city Blue Ocean City has detected... Poof!"

The golden glasses spit out the coffee and hissed the air-conditioner:
Chapter completed!
