Outside the Black Owl Research Institute in the City of Sinking Stars.

The light rain continued to fall, and the cold wind blew by. Under the icy wall, soldiers in black armor were standing guard with beam guns in their hands, with cold expressions on their faces.

Ten meters away from the wall, you can see the black tents and people taking shelter with umbrellas and raincoats. There is almost no open space.

At this time, a young woman with messy hair and some outdated clothes was holding an umbrella and hugging a four-year-old girl with a ponytail and a dirty face.

The rain kept falling on the little girl, who trembled and crawled into her mother's arms.

The young woman really had no place to hide, so she walked towards the security booth outside the entrance of the Black Owl Research Institute.

Soon she hugged the girl and hid under the eaves of the security booth to protect her from the wind and rain.

However, her out-of-bounds behavior was immediately noticed by the guards in the security booth. Zhou Le, the tall guard team leader of the Black Owl Research Institute with a scar on his face, came out and yelled at her loudly.

"Back off immediately, no one is allowed to come near here!"

The little girl in the young woman's arms was so frightened that she shrank into her mother's arms, while the young woman begged with a smile on her face.

"Brother, we really have no place to stay. Please let us squat here, please."

"No, this is an important research institute, no one is allowed to approach, retreat immediately!"

Zhou Le directly raised the beam gun in his hand and aimed it at the mother and daughter indifferently.

At this time, a group of patrol soldiers from the Red Holy Word Legion ran over immediately when they saw it. The leader, a middle-aged captain with an unshaven beard, Zhao Li, immediately shouted.

"Stop, what happened?"

"She crossed a line."

Zhou Le said coldly.

Zhao Li immediately looked at the mother and daughter, and the woman begged.

"Sir, we really don't have anywhere to stay. The back is full."

Zhao Li glanced at the poor child in the woman's arms, and then persuaded Zhou Le.

"Brother, these are extraordinary times. It's really difficult. Let them, mother and daughter, stay away."

"No, absolutely not! This is the Black Owl Research Institute. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Can you take the responsibility?"

"What you said is going too far. Don't use chicken feathers as command arrows. Just hide for a while. What problems could it cause? Are you clearly trying to make things difficult for others?"

"Anyway, I've given you a warning. If you don't listen again, don't blame us for being rude."

Zhou Le directly raised the gun in his hand.

"you dare?"

Zhao Li and others suddenly became angry, and the two sides quarreled fiercely.

At this time, Shen Qiu rode over on a Storm Chaser. Anji secretly stretched out her little head and said excitedly.

"Shen Qiu, there's a quarrel over there! It seems like there's something fun to watch."

Shen Qiu stopped immediately and looked over. When he saw the mother and daughter being protected by Zhao Li and others, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's actually them?"

"Do you know them?"

Angie asked doubtfully.

"I don't know them, but I have seen them."

Shen Qiu replied with some emotion, wasn't that little girl the child who was abandoned halfway during the evacuation of Missi City? And that young woman was the mother who abandoned her.

But what Shen Qiu didn't expect was that this woman would actually take her own child with her. It seemed that she didn't have the heart to turn back in the end.

In addition, Shen Qiu listened to the content of their quarrel and probably knew what was going on.

So he got off the motorcycle and walked over.

At this time, Zhou Letie angrily scolded Zhao Li and others with a livid face.

"In these extraordinary times, who can guarantee that they will be fine? There are so many poor people."

"I can guarantee that there will be no problem with the two of them. Just let them squat here. And there are cameras on the security booth, so there will be no problem."

Shen Qiu walked up to them and said.

Zhou Le heard Shen Qiu's interjection and turned to look at him. As a result, he found that the person who came was wearing a mask and did not recognize him at all, so he immediately replied even more angrily.

"Who are you? What guarantee do you have? Let me reiterate, this is the Black Owl Research Institute. No idle personnel are allowed to get close. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it."

After listening to Zhou Le's words, Shen Qiu thought about it and said.

"It seems like you can't make the decision. That's easy. I'll call someone who can make the decision."

Zhou Le and others were slightly startled.

Shen Qiu then raised his bracelet and dialed Zhang Shi's number directly.

Buzz~

The call was answered quickly.

"Lord Shen Qiu, where are you? Aren't you almost here? I've been waiting for you at the gate for a long time, but I didn't see you."

Zhang Shi asked respectfully.

"I'm behind the police box on the right side of the gate. Come over here."

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

Zhou Le and others had a very bad premonition for a moment, and their expressions suddenly became a little uneasy.

However, not long after, the sound of running was heard, and Dr. Zhang Shi was seen running over, panting.

Shen Qiu waved to Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi was startled at first, wondering who the person wearing the fox mask was. But he soon recognized the bracelet on Shen Qiu's hand. It was made by Qi Lin, and he immediately recognized Shen Qiu's identity.

He immediately rushed over and asked Shen Qiu.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Since Zhang Shi saw Shen Qiu wearing a mask, he guessed that Shen Qiu had come here in a low-key manner, so he did not call his name.

Shen Qiu also noticed this detail and couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Shi. Although Zhang Shi was usually submissive in front of Qi Lin, the fact that this kid was able to stay under Qi Lin for so long showed that he was also very capable.

"Lord Zhang Shi, why are you here?"

Zhou Le and others immediately panicked.

Shen Qiu said to Zhou Le and others at this time.

"Don't be nervous. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that you can't make the decision. I'll just call someone who can make the decision."

"What happened?"

Zhang Shi asked in confusion.

"It's like this. The mother and daughter have no place to hide from the rain, so they want to take shelter here."

Shen Qiu said briefly.

"Oh, it's such a big thing that you don't need to intervene personally. This is no joke! Don't worry, mother and daughter will live in this police box, and I will ask the people below to provide them with three meals a day."

Zhang Shi immediately made arrangements.

"Thanks!"

At this time, the woman immediately knelt down with the little girl in her arms and shouted excitedly.

Shen Qiu glanced at the woman and said calmly.

"You have earned this by yourself, just like when you went back to find your child."

When the woman in front of her heard Shen Qiu's words, she immediately froze there, feeling a little dazed.

Shen Qiu said as he threw the Storm Chaser key to Zhang.

"Arrange for someone to take my car to the parking lot."

"Okay, Zhou Le will take the adult's car to the parking lot of the research institute."

Zhang Shi handed the key to Zhou Le.

"yes!"

Zhou Le responded nervously.

Then Zhang Shi said to Shen Qiu with a smile on his face.

"Sir, let's leave quickly. Master Qi Lin has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Um!"

Shen Qiu nodded slightly and responded.

Zhang Shi immediately led Shen Qiu to the Black Owl Research Institute.

Soon Shen Qiu followed Zhang Shi into the Black Owl Research Institute. Looking along the way, he saw a soldier wearing black armor patrolling continuously. Not far away, Shen Qiu also saw four Greedy Wolf mechas.

The defensive strength of the Black Owl Research Institute has increased several times compared to before.

Shen Qiu chatted thoughtfully with Zhang Shi.

"Isn't the defensive force increased a little too much?"

Zhang Shi looked around, then lowered his voice and explained to Shen Qiu.

"Recently, too many people have poured into the City of Sinking Star, which makes it unsafe. And most importantly, the fruit of wisdom is about to mature. The more critical it is, the more careful you have to be. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."
