When Zhou Bai faced the gloomy man's questions again, he no longer answered truthfully. Instead, he mostly answered that he didn't know, saying that he seemed to have lost his memory and couldn't remember many things recently.
To Zhou Bai's surprise, the gloomy man easily expressed his belief and recorded his basic information.
Then, the man asked some psychological questions to Zhou Bai. According to Zhou Bai's own feeling, the man seemed to be confirming his psychological and mental state.
"Alright, there's no more questions. You can live a good life here," the gloomy man murmured. "Maybe there won't be many good days left …"
Zhou Bai was puzzled. "What did you say?"
The gloomy man looked at Zhou Bai with pity and said, "Don't you know yet? This world is finished. The last humans left on Earth are only the 42 people in this base. Oh … including you, that's 43 people. "
Zhou Bai's heart trembled and he looked at the man in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
The gloomy man patted Zhou Bai's shoulder. "Let's go. I'll show you your room. As for the problem of the end of the world, you'll understand it later."
The gloomy man's words echoed repeatedly in Zhou Bai's mind. He was still unwilling to believe it.
It was just that the strange place, the strange body, the inexplicable language that appeared in his mind, the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Human, and the encounter with the monster before … this series of strange events made him temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart. He planned to quietly observe the changes and slowly figure out the situation.
The gloomy man opened the door and saw Ai Sha waiting outside obediently like a puppy waiting for its owner to come home.
The moment the door opened, Ai Sha's eyes seemed to light up. "Teacher! I've been waiting outside obediently! "
The gloomy man's lips curled into a rare smile. "Good girl, Ai Sha. I'll show Zhou Bai the place first, and then I'll get you something to eat."
So the three of them walked along the corridor. This time, Zhou Bai carefully observed the building in front of him and found that there were no windows. He couldn't see anything outside. He couldn't help but ask, "This base, is it underground?"
The gloomy man looked at Zhou Bai and slowly said, "You're very sharp. This is an underground shelter, it can be considered the final paradise that I created. "
Zhou Bai asked, "What … happened outside?"
The gloomy man said coldly, "The outside world has become hell. The base is our last hope of survival."
With that, he ignored Zhou Bai and directly brought him to a room. He opened the iron door and said, "This is the room for you and Ai Sha. Ai Sha, show him around. I'll get you something to eat."
"Okay, okay." Ai Sha nodded happily and followed the gloomy man while drooling.
The man had no choice but to press her shoulder and return her to the room. "Wait for me here."
Ai Sha's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay."
As the man left, Zhou Bai felt inexplicably relieved.
He raised his head and looked at the room in front of him. The furniture in the room was very simple. There were two simple single beds on each side, two desks, a sink, and a squat toilet. It was more like a prison than a bedroom.
Zhou Bai looked at the messy bed and sat on another neat single bed. He looked in the direction of the door. The blonde girl, Ai Sha, was squatting at the door, staring at the door with her big blue eyes.
Thinking of what the gloomy man had said, Zhou Bai looked at the little girl in front of him and thought to himself, This girl seems to be stupid. Why don't I try to get some information out of her.
"Ai Sha, how long have you been here?"
Ai Sha said without turning her head, "How would I know? I haven't learned how to count yet! "
"This girl …" Zhou Bai said, "How can she be so confident even if she doesn't know how to count?"
Zhou Bai asked again, "Then, do you know about the end of the world?"
Ai Sha nodded and said, "I know, I know!" She counted with a serious face and said, "Teacher said that there's nothing to eat in the outside world! It's too scary. "
Zhou Bai asked again, "… Then how did I get here? You said that I was picked up from the outside … "
"Yes, teacher picked you up from the outside!" Ai Sha said as she touched her stomach. "I'm so hungry … Why did teacher pick up a person? It would be great if she picked up a pig. I haven't eaten pork for a long time. "
"…" Zhou Bai said, "Teacher can go out by herself?"
Ai Sha lay on the ground. "I'm so hungry …"
"Ai Sha?"
"So hungry."
Zhou Bai said, "This rice bucket, I can't communicate with her at all."
A moment later, the door opened again, and the gloomy man walked in with a plate in his hand. He handed the plate to Ai Sha. "Eat."
Then he handed another plate to Zhou Bai. "You eat some too."
Zhou Bai looked at the glue-like substance on the plate and instinctively frowned. The gloomy man saw his expression and said, "Now that the base is short of supplies, we can only eat synthetic food or nutritional biscuits."
Zhou Bai took the plate, scooped a mouthful with the spoon on the plate, and ate it. His face immediately scrunched up into an awkward expression, and he gently put the plate aside.
The gloomy man said, "From now on, you will live with Ai Sha. She will show you around here."
Zhou Bai looked at Ai Sha, who was happily eating the paste, and couldn't help but ask, "Is she reliable?"
The gloomy man scratched his head. "There's nothing wrong with Ai Sha's IQ, she's just too naive."
Ai Sha raised her head and glanced at the plate that Zhou Bai put down, looking like a tiger eyeing its prey.
The gloomy man quickly stopped her. "Okay, Ai Sha, you've eaten enough today. Have you forgotten the time you vomited? Your stomach is actually full, it's just that your brain hasn't reacted yet. "
Ai Sha was unconvinced. "My brain hasn't reacted yet, how can I be sure that my stomach is full?!"
"Don't eat anymore, you will vomit." The gloomy man took the plate and turned around. "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Zhuang, you can call me Dr. Chuang."
"I don't accept this! I'm not full yet! "Ai Sha kept jumping around the teacher, trying to snatch his plate.
Zhou Bai said, "Are you sure it's okay for me to live with her? She won't eat me tonight, right? "
"Don't worry, she's just a little greedy, how can she eat people?"
"Are you sure? She's biting your hand! You're bleeding! "
"It's okay, she's just a little protective of her food …"
In the next few days, Zhou Bai lived in the base, and under his careful investigation, he had a general understanding of the entire base.
This was a base with a total of five floors underground. The first floor was the buffer zone. According to Dr. Chuang, it was filled with the smell of hell. Without special protection, ordinary people would definitely die if they went in.
The second and third floors were the daily living area, used by forty-three people, including Zhou Bai. Zhou Bai also discovered something strange. In the entire base, except for Dr. Chuang, everyone else was between the ages of seven to fifteen.
The fourth floor was the warehouse, which stored a lot of daily necessities. The fifth floor was the laboratory that only Dr. Chuang could enter, and no one else could enter except him.
