Chapter 25 The long-lost peace of mind

"Um...I...how can I accompany you?"

I was also choked for a moment, taking a shower... Even if it was my sister, how could I take a shower with her?

In the water room, Xiao Leng could be seen blushing to the base of his ears.

"You...just stand at the door, don't go far..."

"Ah okay."

I responded, "Don't worry, there won't be any danger here."

As I said that, I looked around the water room again. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, I retreated to the door and closed the iron door.

Before the iron door closed, Xiao Leng shouted in panic.

"Brother, you can't go far! Don't lie to me, and don't peek!"

"Good to know."

In response, I turned my back and stood guard by the door.

It was quiet for a while, and soon there was the sound of water flowing.

I had no intention of peeking at my sister, so I simply stared at the corridor in a daze.

In the corridor, the two Li brothers went in and out of various rooms.

Li Chong looked excited, "There are also brown mattresses. Let's go and move the bedding in?"

"Wait a moment. I'll clean it up and move it later."

Li Xiang's face could not hide his excitement.

Indeed, discovering this underground base was as fantastic as a dream to me.

Who would have thought that we have been suffering in front of this treasure place for so many days?

Not far away from me, Old Man Sun was standing in the corridor, looking up at something.

I was a little curious and walked towards him.

There was a row of photos hanging on the wall directly opposite him, and Old Man Sun's eyes fell on one of the yellowed photos.

The person in the photo is wearing a white shirt and has a high-spirited smile on his face.

The name written under the photo - Sun Shicheng.

And Old Man Sun's name is Sun Sixiang.

"This is..." I couldn't help but say, "Is this your father?"

Old Man Sun came back to his senses and was startled by my sudden voice.

"Um..."

Without making much of a response, Old Man Sun put his hands behind his back and took another look at the number 11 under the photo.

This is the corresponding room 11.

Old Man Sun raised his hand and pointed, "I'll live here. No. 11 is pretty good."

I nodded and didn't refute.

I don't think anyone will have any objections. Fifty years ago, Old Man Sun's father lived in Room 11. The special significance of this place to Old Man Sun is self-evident.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Leng's panicked shout suddenly came from the water room. I was startled and ran back quickly!

"What's wrong?!"

In a moment of excitement, I pushed the ajar door open.

Xiao Leng suddenly exclaimed and blocked the sensitive part in a panic, "Ah!"

I immediately closed my eyes, "I didn't see it, what happened?"

I opened the door again, feeling extremely embarrassed.

I said I didn't see it, but actually I saw it all in that moment.

Although I helped her bathe when she was little, I became very shy about this kind of thing after Xiao Leng entered high school.

My parents have been missing for five years, and their death certificates were sent to our home three years ago. During these five years, Xiao Leng and I have been the only ones living together.

Without parental discipline, adolescent siblings are prone to doing wrong things.

But luckily I matured earlier and this never happened.

When my face was full of embarrassment, Xiao Leng's voice sounded again.

"I...my clothes are wet and I can't wear them."

When I heard this, I immediately understood that our clothes were dirty these days when we lived in the air-raid shelter. Based on my understanding of her, Xiao Leng must not have been able to hold back and started washing them.

"You put it on first, I will take you to the room, and you will be wrapped in the quilt in a while."

I thought for a while and responded, this is the only solution now. Everyone is choosing a room outside, so we can't let Xiao Lengguang come out, right?

"oh..."

A response came from the water room, and soon Xiao Leng opened the iron door.

Looking down, Xiao Leng's clothes were so wet that he could wrung out water, and the thin suspenders highlighted his underdeveloped figure.

"I..."

Xiao Leng lowered her head and was about to speak. I hugged her directly, took off my coat and covered her with it.

"Come with me and find a room first."

I whispered, and quickly found a room with Xiao Leng and pushed in.

The room was simply furnished, with a bed covered with brown mattresses, a bedside table and a desk.

There were no windows in the room, but there were vents, and although it was dusty, it wasn't damp.

"You stay here while I go outside to move the bedding."

"Take off your clothes and dry them later."

I said seriously, and Xiao Leng nodded repeatedly like a child who had done something wrong.

Others were very efficient. When I pushed the door open and went out, the two brothers from the Li family were already washing in the water room.

The bedding outside was not heavy, so I took Xiao Leng's relatively clean bed back.

After laying it down, I left the room and opened the door next to Xiao Leng.

Xiao Leng's room is No. 9, and mine is No. 7. Old Man Sun lives in No. 11 next to the water house. The two Li brothers should have chosen the two rooms with open doors, and No. 2 diagonally opposite to the front. and No. 4.

The layout here is the same as Xiao Leng's room.

There is a desk, a bedside table, and a bed. There is a ventilation vent above the head, and the fan rotates slowly.

The desk and bedside table were covered with dust, and the brown mattress on the bed also smelled of smoke.

Things are packed away very cleanly. When this place was abandoned, it should have been in order.

Taking advantage of the moment of solitude, I completely opened my sleeves.

On my arms, there is a layer of dead skin hanging like a film.

Underneath the dead skin is purple-red new flesh and blood.

I couldn't help but tear the dead skin off my arms.

A strange sense of comfort actually ran from bottom to top, like an electric current running through my body.

So cool...

All the rotten areas turned into dead skin and fell off. I crumpled the torn off dead skin into a ball.

My arms and my chest are now just purple-red new flesh.

It looks slightly weird and scary.

In order to prevent others from being discovered, I put on my shirt again to cover up the strangeness on my body.

The Li brothers washed quickly, followed closely by Old Man Sun.

After Old Man Sun came out, I entered the water room.

When I passed Xiao Leng's room, I took a special look. She was wrapped in a quilt and already asleep.

In the water room, there is still a lot of water on the ground.

Turning on the faucet, the coolness of the water immediately washed over my body.

Since that day when the nuclear explosion came, I have never been as happy as I am now!

Comfortable! Feel comfortable from the inside out!

Just like Xiao Shengke's redemption!

What I bathe in the rain is freedom!

Although the water contained some sediment, it was overall very clear. It washed over my body layer by layer and washed away the dead skin and dirt on my body.

Ten minutes later, I was back dressed, feeling better and my mind starting to clear.

Being neat and clean and being dirty are two completely different states. Even if the clothes are still dirty, it is enough to refresh my mental state.

When they walked out of the water house, the two Li brothers and Old Man Sun had already moved in the outside things.

I took the quilt from Li Xiang and said thank you.

"Everyone, please take a rest for a while. When you wake up and feel refreshed, we will explore this place together."

No one has any objection to my opinion.

All of us haven't had a good rest for a long time.

In addition, Xiao Leng's clothes were also wet, making it difficult to move around for the time being.

The three of them returned to their rooms. I opened Xiao Leng's door and walked in quietly.

This girl doesn't know how to wring out her clothes, so she just hangs them on the doorknob and takes years to dry?

I took the clothes outside, wrung them out and hung them up again. After doing all this, I returned to the room.

After making the bed, I finally lay down on the bed relaxed.

At this moment, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The scenes after the disaster unfolded before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

There are a few points that are always lingering in my mind.

I used to be too busy living to think, but now I'm aware of too many suspicions.

First, where do those compound-eyed monsters come from? On the first night of the nuclear explosion, they walked out of the raging fire at the center of the explosion, as if they came from hell.

Second, Xue Anya's disappeared body, there was an extra row of bloody footprints in the pile of corpses. The night the monster ate Anya and Wang Lung, someone was nearby. Who was he? Did he take away Xue Anya's body, or did he rescue Xue Anya? How did he do it when so many monsters besieged him?

Third, the changes in my body...

The light blue liquid in the test tube had an effect on the decay of my skin. Do I really have radiation immunity?

But I clearly remember the burning pain in my internal organs before I passed out...

In addition to the healing of rotten wounds, what other changes have taken place in my body?

When I was immersed in thinking, I felt a cold feeling on my side, as if a small snake had gotten into the quilt.

I turned my head and saw Xiao Leng's red face.

She got into my quilt and buried her face in my shoulder, only exposing a red earlobe.

I was shocked, there was nothing on Xiao Leng...
