☆ 152. Chapter 151 [Two in One]

Chapter 151 [Two-in-One]

When the skylight peeked out from behind the clouds, the pure white hospital ship slowly approached Zecheng.

The sea was foggy today, and after the aerospace carrier connected to the signal, it turned on the guidance light for the hospital ship coming from afar. The hospital ship slowly moored into the harbor following the guidance of the lights.

The doctor, wearing neat protective clothing, stood on the deck and shouted: "Where is the patient?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another neatly dressed doctor ran out of the cabin: "Doctor Zhou, there are no patients, there is something that needs us. Help. We have to get off the boat and go ashore!"

"Us?" Dr. Zhou asked doubtfully, "Everyone?" "

They said they want injections." The doctor who just came over said, "It's better to have more people."

"What kind of injections? What injections are there?" More people?" Dr. Zhou thought for a while, "I'll go see Mr. Cai first, and you guys will wait for my news."

Cai Zonghe was already waiting for someone at the connection point in Qingluan. When he saw Dr. Zhou coming, he only exchanged simple greetings. After a few words, he mentioned the request directly.

Dr. Zhou never expected that Zecheng actually had a lung cancer vaccine, and that this was the lung cancer vaccine he was going to take!

He was shocked and said in a voiceless voice: "Don't inject drugs randomly! If something goes wrong, someone will die! Which city is exchanging vaccines for supplies? This is so messy, so messy!" "

Dr. Zhou, the source of the vaccine is from me. I can't tell you, but I guarantee that this is a batch of qualified and useful vaccines." Cai Zonghe said, "If your medical ship is worried, you only need to send manpower to vaccinate us."

Dr. Zhou's eyes suddenly widened: " Mr. Cai! I'm a doctor, not a butcher! I can't just watch the whole city inject this kind of thing!"

He paced back and forth for several steps in a hurry, and finally said: "Give me a vaccine, and I'll go back to the ship to experiment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the small cylindrical robot following Cai Zonghe immediately took out two vaccines from the abdominal storage compartment: "Please."

Dr. Zhou lowered his head. He looked at the red indicator light of the little robot: "Qingluan, do you believe this too?"

"The vaccine provider has no reason to deceive us." The little robot said, "But Qingluan fully understands your concerns."

It's just Cai Zonghe. If the person insists, Dr. Zhou can still suspect that he is being deceived. But now even Qingluan believes in the origin of the vaccine, and Dr. Zhou has nothing to say.

He silently took the vaccine that had been prepared by the little robot, put it away carefully, and then said: "I will test it immediately when I get back. If there is no news from me, don't mess around." After

he finished speaking, he hurried back to the hospital ship .

The rain accumulated during the rainy season finally came belatedly on this day.

In the afternoon, the strong wind on the sea dispersed the fog, and the fine rain became more intense with the wind. By evening, it was already pouring. Heavy raindrops fell on the boat, making a crackling sound.

Wen Baizhou was sitting cross-legged on the boat. After listening to the lesson in his hand, he took off his noise-canceling headphones and was startled by the sound of rain outside the cabin.

"It's raining so heavily." He moved to the porthole and looked carefully, "When did it rain?"

"It's been raining for several hours." Lu Heng looked at him and said warmly, "The rainy season in Zecheng and Their storm season is the same, long and fierce. This kind of rain is no longer heavy."

When they returned to Zecheng from the small villa this time, they also brought the five thousand donated books and reprinted textbooks that Wen Baizhou had promised. Brought over. Lu Heng went to borrow some books and took them back to the cabin to read.

"It's been down for so long... It's so noisy, but you can actually see it." Wen Baizhou threw away the phone and muttered, "If I didn't have headphones, I would definitely feel very annoyed." Someone who had

the same idea as him, There is more than one person in the boat market.

It was obviously the place where I grew up, and I was used to hearing such torrential rain, but this rain was the only one that made me feel particularly irritated.

The lights in the boat market went out, and many people got up from bed and lay down again, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Why is the rain so noisy?"

"The boat is made of iron. The sound of rain falling on iron must be louder than that of rain falling on rocks." "

If we had moved into the living area on the ground earlier, this rain would definitely not be noisy. ."

"I asked Qingluan, and they said it was a new type of material. Even though the wall looks simple, there is a thermal insulation layer inside, a sound insulation layer, a waterproof layer, and a radiation protection layer. You might not hear a sound when you move in."

"Oh, that's not good. I really can't hear the sound of water, so I'm not used to it."

"If you're not used to it, don't move."

"You care about me? I'll just move. !"

"Hey, you can move if you want? Qingluan hasn't notified you of the move yet."

"Oh. Tell me, wasn't the house all installed two days ago? Was it all capped? Didn't it also be installed in the past two days? Have all the soft furnishings been delivered to the building? Why didn't Qingluan notify you yet?"

"That's right, why didn't Qingluan notify you yet..."

The snow-white small building was soaked by the rain, and he didn't know. Will it change its appearance? But even if the appearance has changed, it is still the new home they expected.

Now that the roof of the new house has been capped, all the coffee tables and sofa beds have been put in. Even the hardening of the ground was done yesterday.

Isn't it time to give notice of moving? Why haven't you been notified yet?

It can't be that Qingluan is stumped by the housing allocation, right?

The night passed slowly with many people tossing and turning.

In the morning, the heavy rain weakened and turned into an ordinary heavy rain. Except for the staff and maintenance personnel in several work areas on the ground who braved the rain and got off the boat, everyone else stayed lazily on the boat and ate slowly. Having breakfast while waiting for the rain to subside.

The pouring rain continued for several hours, and during lunch, it suddenly turned to light rain.

Qingluan's notice came through the thin rain.

"Today at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone will go to the ground living area to get the lung cancer vaccine and receive the keys to the new house."

As soon as the cold mechanical voice came out, the whole Zecheng was boiling.

In the restaurant on the ship, many people were happy and shocked with their empty lunch boxes: "Lung cancer vaccine?! When did this come out!" "No wonder

I saw the hospital ship coming back yesterday! I was thinking that this is not a year of festival and does not replenish energy. Why did the hospital ship come back at this time! Is this what happened?" "

Oh, the hospital ship brought us the vaccine? It's not easy for them to do these things while floating in the sea." "

This vaccine It has to be beaten. Think about Mr. Cai. He used to be such a tall and tall man. He became ill and was tortured to the point of being transformed into a human being." "

If Mr. Cai had not been ill, he might still be carrying Mr. Cai Xiao on the ship. I'm working in the city..."

Some people even threw away their lunch boxes: "You guys are chatting! I'm going to line up anyway! I'll line up first and get the injection first, and then go to the new house first!"

As soon as these words came out, many people suddenly understood and held their lunch boxes in their hands. He threw it away and ran out.

Before one o'clock, there was already a long queue in the living area on the ground.

The drizzle in the sky has not stopped, but people's enthusiasm is stronger than the rain. When Dr. Zhou followed Cai Zonghe with the medical team of the hospital ship, he was startled by the noisy people from a distance.

As soon as I walked into the wall of the living area, I was startled again by the small white building in front of me.

What type of situation is this? What happened to Zecheng in the past few months? How come so many buildings have been repaired? ! Those buildings all look exactly the same, white zigzag buildings, with large building numbers painted in cyan paint on the outward-facing walls.

When Dr. Zhou came in, he happened to see a huge "No. 30" sign on a building.

There are actually at least thirty buildings?

He was stunned for a while, then walked inside. Just after taking two steps, I realized something was wrong again. The ground under their feet suddenly changed from sand filled with rainwater to the exact same concrete ground on the dock.

Is this...

Zecheng... quietly restoring a few production lines? How come there are so many changes all of a sudden and there are so many supplies...?

Cai Zonghe followed him, feeling Dr. Zhou's unconcealable shock. He didn't explain, just smiled and said: "Dr. Zhou, come here, I really trouble you this time."

"No trouble." Dr. Zhou came back to his senses and said, "But it's not easy for everyone to inject in the rain. "

It's okay, I won't inject outdoors." Cai Zonghe said.

The original injection site was in the hospital building in the medical area on the ground, but it was only a three-story villa and could not accommodate so many people at once. So the location was temporarily changed to the cafeteria.

The noisy people followed the small robot and Cai Zonghe also led the doctors there.

The medical team passed through one small building after another, and they had the illusion that these small buildings would last forever. They went from shock to numbness, and then they saw different buildings.

The building is not a zigzag, but like a huge shell. The slightly curved wall encloses a large space, but only two floors are built.

People gathered outside the door and were slowly entering under the guidance of the robot. Upon seeing this, Cai Zonghe immediately led the doctors and nurses into the building through another door.

After the doctors and nurses were ready, the crowd was divided into five columns according to the number of doctors and nurses. Now that it was ready and so many people were coming, Dr. Zhou and Cai Zonghe whispered a few words and simply started injecting everyone with the vaccine in advance.

The little robots were divided into two lines and surrounded the injection team.

The first person to be injected was a young man from the transportation team. As soon as the needle was inserted, he couldn't wait to ask: "Where is my house?"

"Li Haiyang." A small robot called his name, "Please come and get your key."

When Li Haiyang finished the injection and walked over, the little robot The room key corresponding to Li Haiyang has been taken out from the abdominal storage compartment.

The key itself has the corresponding house number code, and there is a note on the other side that says "88-2".

The "88" in the front is the building number, and the "2" in the back is the floor. The house number code that comes with the key is his room on the second floor of Building 88.

The transportation team has passed the transportation season and has nothing to do recently. Li Haiyang had been helping in the living area on the ground floor for more than a week. He took the key to confirm the building number and rushed out of the restaurant.

If I remember correctly, the buildings numbered after 70 are all single-occupancy buildings in a straight line.

His parents who raised him have long since passed away, and he has no intention of starting a family with anyone else. So the small apartment where he originally lived was exchanged for a family with an elderly person and children.

Li Haiyang had no objection to this arrangement.

Everyone in the boat market lived like this. It was better for him to live alone in a big room with strangers than to live with a few strangers in the same family.

It's just that he thought it was good for a person like him to share a suite with several people in the ground living area. The best-case scenario was to share a suite with his buddies from the transportation team, but he didn't expect that Qingluan would allocate him a single room!

He had asked Qingluan a long time ago. The rooms in the single-occupancy building are all for one person!

The rain outside the house fell on him, but it made him run faster and faster. The key in his hand seemed to be getting hot, making him jump for joy.

I rushed to the single-occupancy area according to my memory and found Building 88 without much effort. He rushed up to the second floor without stopping and inserted the key into the door of Room 18 with trembling hands.

After inserting the key, he twisted his hand, but the door did not open.

Li Haiyang took a deep breath. He looked up and checked the house number. He let go of the key and shook his hand, then tightened his grip on the key and turned it again.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the closed door 18 slowly opened.

It was dark, and the lights from the pier could not illuminate the living area on the ground, so the room became dark as the sky grew dark.

Li Haiyang's heart was pounding. He stood at the door and breathed hard for a long time before he could barely suppress his excitement. He found the switch next to the door through the light on the corridor and pressed it gently.

The lights turned on and everything in the house suddenly became brighter.

The houses in the single-person building are all designed with one bedroom and one bathroom. It was obviously a house that was no longer fresh when I helped assemble the coffee table, but now it seems that everything has become so different.

The large rectangular room is divided into two halves by the cabinet on the roof. One half is on the entrance door side, which is the living room.

The living room has a couch and a two-tiered wooden coffee table. Going around to the top cabinet, you can see a bed with a mattress. On the wall facing the end of the bed, there is a low cabinet that is not propped up.

Li Haiyang knew that when this low cabinet was propped up, it could be turned into a desk cabinet. Above the low cabinet, there is a window.

He walked to the window, looked up, and found that through his window, through the rain and fog, he could just see the lights in the building opposite.

The mist separates the light, making it soft and misty. In Li Haiyang's eyes, the scattered lights in the building opposite were like the stars in the sky, more beautiful than the lights on the boats in the ship market.

He stood by the window and watched for a long time. While he was happy that everyone was not slow in moving, he also wondered if everyone was as lucky as him to get such a good house.

I felt proud but also a little ashamed for no reason. But after staring for a long time, he finally couldn't bear to tell Qingluan that he could go to a large suite with a few people or even a dozen people.

While hesitating, there seemed to be movement next door.

Li Haiyang came to his senses and quickly ran to the door and opened it. He saw the owner of Room 17 next door taking a deep breath at the door.

"Captain Sun?" Li Haiyang recognized this neighbor at a glance, "Are you also in the single-occupancy building?"

"You are next door to me, Haiyang." Captain Sun smiled when he saw him, "Are you the bachelor of our transportation team?" Are we all assigned to this building? I just ran into Xiao Zhou downstairs. He is at No. 3 on the 1st floor."

"Are we all... sharing a room?" Li Haiyang hesitated, "This is how we allocate rooms. Isn't it enough?"

"You can live with peace of mind, the room will definitely be enough." Captain Sun laughed, "I asked Mr. Cai that the housing allocation this time is based on the family situation. If you are alone, Just stay in a single room. If there are seniors and children at home, or if there are a lot of people, go to the largest suite. Ordinary couples, or families that simply raise children or the elderly, go to the small suite."

He seemed to want to take a photo. Li Haiyang patted Li Haiyang, but he stretched out his hand and then retracted it: "Those of us who have no worries will live in this single-person building."

Li Haiyang suddenly felt relieved: "This arrangement? That would be great! Captain Sun, please come into the house quickly. I'm telling you, this house has become your own, and it feels really different."

Captain Sun smiled, looked at Li Haiyang and said, "Haiyang, do me a favor."

Li Haiyang: "?"

"I'm so excited that I'm exhausted. I'm weak." Captain Sun said, "Help me open the door."

Li Haiyang laughed out loud after hearing this.

He walked to the door, took the key and turned it gently, opening the door.

Team Sun's house on No. 17 is no different from the house on No. 18. At most, the directions of everyone's bathrooms are different.

Li Haiyang turned on the light very skillfully this time. Team Sun stood at the door and looked at the living room carefully for a long time before he smiled and sighed and said, "You guys are really right. This house has become your own. It feels really different." He clearly knew in his

heart that everyone The houses are all exactly the same for now. But he just felt that his set was the best set in the entire ground living area.

Looking across the entire Blue Star, he couldn't find a house that was more to his liking than this one.

This mood is shared by almost everyone in Zecheng.

The one who was alone took the key and ran away. After getting the keys, I found a place to sit down in the cafeteria and waited for the whole family to get vaccinated. Then I led the elderly and children to the building slowly in the drizzle.

The living area on the ground is so good, it is exactly the same as the dock. You are not afraid of getting muddy when it rains, and you are not afraid of your protective clothing being torn by things in the sand.

The small white building is also beautiful. The building number printed in cyan, in the mist and light rain, looks like a residential area in the past.

oops? Was there such a beautiful residential area in the past?

That is definitely the most beautiful one in our residential area!

The adults looked forward to it, watching the children laughing and rushing into the corridor, jumping to a stop in front of their own room door: "I know numbers! This is it!" The

adults holding the keys were full of enthusiasm and walked a few steps. Go to the door and open it carefully as if it were a fragile object.

Pushing open the solid wood color door is like opening up a new life.

Throughout the whole day, the lively laughter and laughter in Zecheng Boat Market never stopped.

It was okay when there were few people, but as more and more people received the keys, the laughter became louder and louder. People waiting in line for the injection were envious and anxiously looking forward to it.

Why is the line still so long? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have eaten this meal.

The only ones who were calm were probably the medical team who got off the hospital ship. They need to inject tens of thousands of vaccines in one afternoon, and each person needs to get thousands of injections. Even hard-core people should be tired.

But they knew how important it was to the people of Zecheng to receive the keys for a new house. Even if they changed shifts midway, they did not mention stopping and continuing tomorrow.

They were busy from noon until late at night, and their work finally came to an end after all the lights in the entire ground living area were turned on.

Several medical staff pinched their shoulders and stretched their waists, groaning.

"Let's go, go back to the ship and sleep."

"Did someone send a letter from Yuancheng last time saying there was a patient? Let's go to Yuancheng after recharging the battery."

Dr. Zhou packed up the unused medical equipment on the table. These things were all provided by Zecheng, and he had to take them back properly and return them to Cai Zonghe.

When he heard someone asking about the patient in Yuancheng, he said without raising his head: "The patient's condition in Yuancheng is not urgent. When he comes back this time, he will probably have to travel all the way along the route."

As he was talking, he saw Cai Zonghe strode over.

"Thank you all so much for today. I didn't expect it to take so long." "It's okay

. You have the vaccine. We will definitely come over to verify the injection." Dr. Zhou said, "Did Mr. Cai not get the injection today? Am I going to give you a shot now?"

"No rush, no rush." ​​Cai Zonghe smiled and waved his hand, "I remember your hospital ship, did you have more than a hundred staff members?"

Dr. Zhou was stunned when he heard this: "What's wrong? You, Zecheng, want to send medical students on board at this time?"

Cai Zonghe shook his head and said, "Everyone goes back to rest today. Everyone will get off the ship tomorrow and come and see their own houses."

Several doctors and nurses The staff was stunned.

"Yours?"

"You Zecheng also left us a house?"

They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

Cai Zonghe looked at them and smiled and said: "You are also a member of Zecheng, so naturally you also have your house."

A medical staff blurted out: "We... count?"

"Yes, we almost never get off the boat, so your house will be given to you." We are useless."

Their hospital ship is the only hospital in several shipping markets along the coast. It travels back and forth among several shipping markets throughout the year. When the fishing season starts, it has to follow the offshore fishing boats.

Once the medical staff got on the ship, there was no chance of getting off the ship. Zecheng, why would you leave a house for them...?

"When our old man was here, we always said that people have to land on the ground to take root." Cai Zonghe said, "I know you will not get off the ship after you get on the ship. Maybe after living on the hospital ship for a long time, you only think that the hospital ship is Home, the hospital ship is my hometown. However, there is a place on the ground where you can have a good rest. Wouldn't you feel more comfortable?"

He smiled calmly: "The houses in Zecheng have been divided today. , I've also left what I left for you. The hospital ship is still charging, so let's get off the ship tomorrow and take a look."

Hearing this, the other medical staff looked at Dr. Zhou eagerly.

Doctor Zhou was stunned for a long time before he said: "I have to go back to the boat and ask."

"What are you asking? That's it." Cai Zonghe laughed and patted him, "Let's go, Qingluan has prepared the car. I'll send him there." Everyone, go back to the ship. Come and choose a house tomorrow!"

...

Wen Baizhou looked at the lights of the pier and watched the six-seater shuttle bus slowly drive towards the dock. He turned his head and asked, "Is that right? The car that takes the doctors back to the ship?"

"Yes, Mr. Wen." The little robot standing next to him replied, "The houses have been allocated, and Qingluan has been ordered to take the doctors back to the ship." "

So late... today is really... Thank you for their hard work."

Wen Baizhou sighed and looked back, once again looking at the light in the distance.

He and Lu Heng were now standing on the top floor of the Zecheng's stern building.

The ship is so tall that you can just see the lights in the living area on the ground through the mist.

He stood here for a long time, Lu Heng stayed with him the whole time.

Through the rain and fog, he watched the lights in the living area on the ground light up one by one, from a few scattered lights, to a continuous one, and now like this, the entire living area on the ground is brightly lit, like a familiar bustling city-state.

Wen Baizhou looked at it without blinking: "Brother Heng, look, does this light really look like our community there?"

Lu Heng replied in a low voice: "It is very similar."

In the dark night, the lights were dense. It is a prosperous and peaceful scene.

It is also the most common sight for Wen Baizhou who lives in 2025.

Ke Wen Bai Zhou looked at those lights and suddenly smiled and sighed.

"That's awesome." He laughed loudly, then lowered his voice and shouted, "Brother Heng."

Lu Heng turned his head and looked into his reddish eyes.

"Look, my presence has made their lives a little easier, right?"

His little ancestor's eyes were full of smiles, and the light from the stern of the Zecheng fell into Wen Baizhou's eyes, like flowing water. Galaxy.

Lu Heng stared at him, stretched out his hand involuntarily and touched his eyes.

There is a slight dampness to the hand.

Wen Baizhou did not dodge, but asked him: "Has my existence made their lives a little better?"

"It has become a lot better." Lu Heng said softly.

"That's good." Wen Baizhou smiled and the stars in his eyes fell, "That's great."

☆ 153. Chapter 152 [First update]

Chapter 152 [First update]

The drizzle that had been falling all night stopped.

People woke up from the small white building and gathered their friends to go to the boat. They spent a fresh night in the small white building, and today they will return to the ship and officially start moving.

Before dawn, the boat was already busy. The bedding and clothing that can still be used on the ship, the small tables and stools that can be removed, and even the removable curtains in the suites, as long as they can be taken to Xiaobailou, are all removed from the ship and taken away.

All the ships were busy, but the Zecheng was particularly quiet.

Cai Zonghe stood on the deck of the Zecheng, with a small cylindrical robot beside him. They stood on the deck, listening to the excitement from other ships, knowing that Wen Baizhou was leaving again.

The biggest thing he had done when he came to Zecheng had been completed. Even the medical information he gave to Wen Baizhou, Wen Baizhou reciprocated by turning it into a lung cancer vaccine and brought it back.

Zecheng had nothing more to give him, and he helped Zecheng accomplish such a big thing.

It's time for people like him to go to other cities and help other people.

Cai Zonghe's heart was heavy and he couldn't express what he felt. But when I heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, a smile spread all over his face.

"Why are you up so early?" He looked at Wen Baizhou, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"

"Good morning, Mr. Cai. As long as there are no wind and waves on the sea, the sound of the waves is the best lullaby." Wen Baizhou smiled. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cai shouldn't have come so early."

"If I hadn't come, you would have left quietly again." Cai Zonghe sighed, "Where...are you going to go in the future?" "You

have to go home first." Wen Bai Zhou thought for a while and joked, "I've been out for a long time, I should take a rest."

Cai Zonghe nodded when he heard this, and put on a wry smile: "When you go home, you don't know when we can see each other again. Yicheng and Zecheng... are still too far away."

Wen Baizhou smiled and said nothing, only looking at the ship next door.

There were many people on the boat jumping up and down with joy. This time, he saw many people who took it upon themselves to maintain order.

Some of them used loud voices, while others held loudspeakers in their hands, and kept moving among the crowd and beside the deck. From time to time, there will be a cry of "be careful, don't crowd". This is much better than the chaos on the boat when the big waves came.

"Mr. Cai's safety training seems to be very useful." Wen Baizhou looked away and said with a smile, "I heard from Qingluan before that there seems to be something wrong with the breeding ship. Do you need help?" "It's

a common problem with breeding ships. ." Cai Zonghe paused and then said, "There are a lot of spare parts. If you really need help, I won't be polite."

"Speaking of help..." Wen Baizhou smiled slyly, "I have one right now. I have to ask Mr. Cai to help me with this matter."

Cai Zonghe was startled and asked quickly: "What is it? Just say, I will help if I can."

"Before the ice season comes, will the ship market still be there? Is there an exchange of materials?" Wen Baizhou asked him.

Cai Zonghe nodded and said: "Usually, this material exchange is for various places to prepare for the winter. Zecheng will release a large amount of sea salt, fish oil and other materials at this time."

These things are not exchanged with other shipping markets. Instead, it is exchanged with nearby cities that are not near the sea.

They exchanged sea salt, fish oil, even dried salted fish and some reserve medicines for staple foods such as taro and yams, as well as rare white sugar. Then they calculated how to spend the whole winter, waiting for the calm window before the storm season to come back again. An exchange of supplies.

Wen Baizhou said directly: "I hope Mr. Cai will take away some land adhesive from each city in the next exchange season."

Cai Zonghe showed hesitation. He lowered his eyes and looked at the small cylindrical robot beside him, and his heart was overwhelmed. For a long time, he didn't ask Qingluan.

This is not something Qingluan can decide. As the person in charge of the shipping market, this is something that can only be decided.

He is the person in charge of Zecheng Ship Market!

Cai Zonghe didn't speak for a long time, and Wen Baizhou didn't urge him, just looked at him with a smile.

After a while, Cai Zonghe tensed his body and nodded: "Okay. I will give some to each city."

He calculated in his mind for a long time Zecheng's land adhesive reserve, and after calculation, it was not enough. .

But in the end, he did not refuse Wen Baizhou's request.

One pound of land binder can restore one acre of land. Zecheng has hundreds of kilograms of reserves. Even if they only keep a hundred kilograms for themselves, this hundred acres of land can keep them busy for a long time.

In the future, everyone will have land for planting, more food will be produced, and their stomachs will be full, and more people will have the energy to think about ways out. Even... they can have more people expand outward to restore production lines, find raw materials, and produce their own land adhesives.

Only when you have the production capacity of land adhesive can you truly take root on the ground.

He no longer calculates the gains and losses of this moment, and he no longer relies on Qingluan's calculations for everything.

He has already begun to think about how to go in the future.

Wen Baizhou heard his answer and lowered his eyes to look at the small cylindrical robot.

The red indicator light of the small robot was flashing. Qingluan used the body of the small robot to listen quietly, but did not speak.

"Mr. Cai, I won't let you suffer." Wen Baizhou said with a smile, "Before I go back this time, I will give Zecheng ten tons of land adhesive. The land adhesive will be distributed to various bunkers and ship markets. Just come from these ten tons."

Cai Zonghe was startled by this amount, and he immediately realized: "If you leave this time, you won't come back for a long time, right?"

Wen Baizhou actually didn't know that he would go back this time. , will he come to Zecheng again?

There is a little tortoise AI here. He used to worry about it, always worried that the little tortoise AI would lose control. But now he feels that he can trust Qingluan.

The ship market has just arrived on the ground, and there is still a lot of work to be done. But these tasks do not require his intervention.

Qingluan will take care of everything.

Cai Zonghe will gradually get rid of the name Mr. Cai and become the real Mr. Cai.

And the unaccustomed people of Zecheng who just came to the ground will gradually be smoothed over by time.

They can live their lives well.

"I will definitely come again." Wen Baizhou said, "I will come to Zecheng again after I finish my work at home."

Cai Zonghe patted him silently and got off the Zecheng with Wen Baizhou.

After stepping onto the pier, Cai Zonghe said: "You can come here quickly. When we get to the ground, our days will definitely be the same every day."

He then pointed to the direction of the living area on the ground: "You can't tell. Next time we come over, we'll even plant flowers."

"That's great!" Wen Baizhou smiled with crooked eyebrows, "If you can restore part of the ecology, then we will not go back to the past, but we will move forward. A big step!"

Sure enough, Wen Baizhou wanted to give ten tons of land to the United Nations in one breath, not just to allow them to grow more vegetables.

Hearing the number "ten tons", the speculation in his heart was confirmed, but Cai Zonghe looked at the ruins outside the ship market and felt a little scared.

The world has long since become like this. Do they...he really have the ability to take this step forward?

Can the land in Zecheng really be restored with land binders and seeds?

"Step by step, there will always be results." The little cylindrical robot said in time, "Mr. Wen, people have two strokes, just like human legs. Only by supporting each other can we take one step. You have taken half of this step first. Step by step, we will do the rest slowly."

Cai Zonghe was stunned after hearing this.

Mr. Cai emphasized this to him many times when he was alive.

The reason why "people" are like this is because we can only stand on this land by supporting each other.

Cai Zonghe suddenly thought: Yes, what is he worried about? Half a step forward, Wen Baizhou had already taken a step forward. In the second half of the step, he had Qingluan to help him, so he wouldn't be alone here alone.

As long as you are willing to work hard, no matter whether the result is good or bad, there will always be a result.

For them now, whether it is a good result or a bad result, it is already a crucial step.

The pressure in Cai Zonghe's heart suddenly cleared.

Wen Baizhou blinked when he saw this, and he whispered: "Qingluan."

The little robot responded: "Mr. Wen, I'm here."

Wen Baizhou squatted down, and he stared at the blinking indicator light of the little robot, his eyebrows filled with emotion. Smile: "You have never let him down, and he has been looking forward to the day when he meets you again." As

he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the red indicator light of the small cylindrical robot: "Carry everyone and continue to move forward. Fly forward."

Cai Zonghe didn't ask who that "him" was. Since Wen Baizhou has so many talented researchers, he probably also has experts in the field of artificial intelligence.

Perhaps those experts have already made certain judgments about Qingluan on the space carrier.

He stood aside and watched the small cylindrical robot take a skeletal step back.

Its round camera stared at Wen Baizhou steadily, and its red indicator light flashed rapidly.

After a long time, Qingluan replied: "Goodbye, Mr. Wen."

The last batch of 100,000 tons of land adhesive was placed in a medium-sized transport truck just like the initial exchange with Qingluan. In the old location.

They drove two tanks and a medium-sized transport vehicle to the edge of Zecheng, where the Qingluan signal could not be detected, and then opened the door and returned home.

Ten tons of land adhesives have already entered the warehouse in Building 1. As soon as the transport truck entered the backyard, the little soldiers over there rushed over with carts of land adhesives.

The quantity of ten tons sounds astonishing, but with the joint efforts of everyone, it only took more than an hour to pack it.

Wen Baizhou, Lu Heng and Gui Yao drove a chariot and returned the two medium-sized transport vehicles to their original place.

The chariot's communication port kept buzzing with electric current.

Wen Baizhou didn't speak, and Qingluan didn't speak either.

It wasn't until the chariot reached the edge of the signal again that Qingluan said, "Mr. Wen."

"Qingluan," Wen Baizhou asked it with a smile, "Can't you let me go?"

The chariot stopped slowly, and the sound of electricity sizzled. .

After a long time, Qingluan spoke again: "Mr. Wen, I wish you... a safe journey."

"Qingluan, you too." Wen Baizhou said softly.

...

A certain aerospace training base in 2025.

The future aerospace warriors, who had just completed a new round of selection and reorganization, logged into the main control room of the newly developed simulation ship at the base.

The operating console of the main control room consists of a first-circuit operating console, a second-circuit operating console and a main console.

As soon as the soldiers landed on the ship, they walked to their seats spontaneously without any instructions.

This is not their first time training on a simulated ship. Since the last round of selection, simulated ship training has been one of their important trainings.

This simulated ship will completely simulate everything in space.

Weightlessness, hypoxia, and extrasensory perception will all come to you one by one. They have to get used to all this in training day after day.

To ensure that one day we can actually board the ship without any accidents.

Just a while ago, the company suddenly took back their portable smart assistant. I heard that the research laboratory had successfully iterated and wanted to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of their smart assistant.

It seems that even the AI ​​installed in the simulated ship has been upgraded.

I don't know if this legend is true or false.

"Attention all departments." Xing Lin, who was sitting in front of the main console, said, "Countdown and prepare."

The soldiers at each console immediately started to control it skillfully.

Xing Lin pressed the start button of the main console, and the main display suddenly lit up.

He just felt like he saw a cyan shadow, and then a familiar voice came over.

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Xing Lin. I am Qingluan, the artificial intelligence on board the space carrier. I will serve you wholeheartedly."

Xing Lin couldn't help but reveal a hint of laughter when he heard the voice that was exactly the same as his portable intelligent assistant. laugh.

"Hello Qingluan, I am Xing Lin. From today on, I will serve as your military commander."

He answered the AI ​​on the simulator.

☆ 154. Chapter 153 [Two in One]

Chapter 153 [Two-in-one]

Training at a certain aerospace base is proceeding step by step.

Xing Shu looked at the feedback data and nodded with some sadness and satisfaction: "Our AI still has the possibility of further upgrade. Let's take a rest for a few days and come back to continue research."

At the same time, the Zecheng Shipyard just After a secret meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Jiang Zheng and was attended by several special research and development departments and academicians of the Academy of Engineering. They secretly made certain construction plans and then left individually.

In the Yicheng Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Plant, the main facilities of the nuclear island have been completed and topped out, and the selection of staff for the major nuclear power groups is in full swing.

Far away in the depths of the desert in the northwest of Longxia, a research team from the military region quietly stationed at some unknown time.

In the temporarily built simple building, someone said eloquently: "Preparations for the launch test are complete. All departments pay attention, countdown to preparations..."

In the huge Longxia, everything was unfolding step by step and intensively.

Wen Baizhou returned to the small villa, but felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Because Yan Feng did not let him follow his own ideas this time, but asked him to rest at home first and take good care of his body.

The journey from Yicheng to Zecheng took more than a month. After arriving at Zecheng, we were busy for many days.

He couldn't eat well or sleep well on the road. Not only Wen Baizhou, but also everyone else also lost weight.

Not to mention that after such a long time, Wen Baizhou's chestnut hair didn't have time to replenish its color, and his head was half black and half chestnut, as if he was malnourished. Yan Feng's eyes hurt when he looked at it, and he was strictly ordered to have a rest before he could open the door and leave.

Wen Baizhou lay on the sofa and sighed. Yu Xingye listened with amusement: "You have been busy for too long, and suddenly your skin is itchy when you have nothing to do."

Wen Baizhou turned over and sat up, raising his hands to hit him. , Yu Xingye rowed the wheelchair very fast, laughing at him "a little bit".

"Are you naive?" Wen Baizhou chuckled and glared, "It seems that your recovery is very good, that's why you are so energetic and willing to commit suicide."

Yu Xingye laughed and said, "That's true. I feel so comfortable."

They While he was busy inside and outside, Yu Xingye's reconstruction also entered a new stage. As far as the current checklist is concerned, things are looking up and full recovery is just a matter of time.

Wen Baizhou understood his hesitant mood and rolled his eyes at him before saying, "Relax, I'll go out for a while."

Lu Heng looked at him from the single sofa and said, "What are you going to do? ?"

Wen Baizhou pointed to his hair: "If I don't go and get my hair done, I'm afraid that if the old man sees me, he will suspect me of malnutrition together with Lieutenant General Yan."

Yu Xingye laughed loudly after hearing this: "You Go and dye that thing green! I'm sure I won't get it wrong."

"I'll dye your whole body green!" Wen Baizhou jumped up and replied, then waved his hand again, "Let's go, I want to Did you bring anything back for you?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "Take Fenrir and have fun."

Wen Baizhou nodded. He went out to Building 1 to retrieve Fenrir, who was having a great time, and then took the big black dog out.

I had been staying in a small villa before, so I didn't feel much about the changes in seasons.

Now when he left the house and the cool breeze blew, he suddenly realized that it was already autumn.

The green leaves in the villa area were dyed a little yellow, and the wind blowing was no longer as warm as in summer, but brought with it the coolness of autumn.

Wen Baizhou stood there in a daze. It wasn't until Fenrir cupped his hand that he came back to his senses.

Touching the big black dog's big head, Wen Baizhou whispered: "I just didn't expect that the season has changed again."

2099 has long since lost its season. Every day when you open and close your eyes, you see the dark sky, and you feel the cold in summer and winter. After staying there for so long, he almost forgot what it felt like to change the seasons.

The blazing heat will turn to severe cold unconsciously, and the green trees will become withered and yellow day by day. Then when the branches are lonely and the fallen leaves are all over the ground, winter will come.

Lu Heng's world was originally supposed to be like this.

Wen Baizhou sighed, and his mood to tinker with a new hairstyle suddenly disappeared. He slowly walked out of the villa with Fenrir, then took out the mobile phone he got back from Ms. Song and went to contact Lu Mao.

I heard that Lu Mao had contacted him several times in the past few months. Song Yao asked Lu Mao if there was something urgent.

But Lu Mao couldn't say anything to his friend's biological mother. He only said that he hadn't seen Wen Baizhou for a long time and wanted to keep in touch.

Now that he was free, he had to contact his old friends.

I randomly found a barber shop on the roadside. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a little white dog running and jumping over.

The little white dog looked up at him, then trotted up to Fenrir and sniffed Fenrir. Fenrir lowered his head and nudged the little white dog with his big head. The little white dog retreated timidly.

There was only one barber in the shop. Seeing the cowardly look of the little white dog, he smiled and said, "Is your big dog also a mechanical dog? Customized?" "A

friend gave it to me, I guess." Wen Baizhou He smiled and said, "I want a haircut."

"Please come in and wash yourself first." The barber said, returning to the previous topic, "Then your friend must have put a lot of thought into it. Big dogs are not good. Determined. Now we have to rely on snatching up reservations. Our Xiaobai is just an ordinary mechanical dog, and I fought for two weeks to get it."

Wen Baizhou only smiled: "It seems I'm lucky."

"I want to get it. What hairstyle do you want?" The barber asked, "You have fair skin and good eyebrows. It's a waste of your appearance to keep your hair so long that it blocks your eyes."

He observed Wen Baizhou's expression and added, "I'll dye it again for you. Color? Twilight gray is popular recently. I think it suits you very well. This color is new and popular and more expensive."

"Don't dye it." Wen Baizhou played with his mobile phone and shared the address with Lv Mao before saying, "Put your hair on Cut it off. Only the black part is left."

The barber immediately said: "You look good with dyed hair, it would be a pity not to dye it."

Wen Baizhou just said: "No more dyeing."

He was too busy, and the hair was really unbearable. I'll try again if I get the idea.

When Lu Mao followed the address shared by Wen Baizhou, he happened to bump into Wen Baizhou pushing the door open. He took a big step back and almost didn't dare to recognize it.

"Who are you?" Lu Mao looked at him up and down several times, "Are you still a great painter in our family!?"

Wen Baizhou hummed: "Where did you come from, and why are you so fast?"

Lu Mao said : "I originally wanted to say that you, with black hair, have no artist temperament at all, how can I promote your paintings."

He smacked his lips as he spoke, and walked around Wen Baizhou again: "But you are too Is it suitable for black hair?! Tell me what you did to mess with your hair before. If you dye it back earlier, you will become famous a few years earlier."

Wen Baizhou was already white, and his black hair made him even fairer. For some reason, Lu Mao always felt that Wen Baizhou's temperament had changed. He used to be a gentle and gentle person, but now he has changed his hairstyle, which actually makes him feel unattainable and cold.

Lu Mao looked at this black-haired version of the great painter, smacked his tongue for a long time, then stretched out his hand to hook Wen Baizhou's shoulder and said: "I want to lose weight, it is very difficult, why have you lost weight again after not seeing me for a while? What are you doing? Already?"

"I'm painting in seclusion." Wen Baizhou said, "It's so annoying, I feel like I'm stuck."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Mao immediately retracted his urge to create a new work.

After knowing each other for so many years, Lu Mao knew Wen Baizhou well. This great painter of theirs has some mysophobia in his paintings. If it were not a painting he was satisfied with, not to mention his friends and mother would not even take a look at it.

Thinking of this, Lu Mao suddenly understood why he couldn't find Wen Baizhou in the past few months. Most of the time, the children cannot draw satisfactory paintings on their own, so they hide and compete with the canvas.

This used to happen a lot in school.

He skillfully patted Wen Baizhou on the shoulder: "If you're cooped up at home all day long, who else will be the bottleneck if you're not the bottleneck? Come on, follow me for a walk, and your inspiration will come back quickly!"

Wen Baizhou didn't ask. Where was Mao going? He only took Fenrir and got into Lu Mao's car.

He originally thought Lu Mao would take him to the city center or somewhere else, but he didn't expect the car to drive further and further until it stopped at a park on the Sixth Ring Road.

This park is a paid park that was renovated in the past few years. There is an ancient temple with a history of nearly a thousand years. But because there is a fee, no one is willing to come here on weekdays, and the internal environment is very quiet.

Lu Mao laughed triumphantly with his arms akimbo: "I didn't expect that, today I will take you to experience nature!"

Wen Baizhou used to travel with his mentor on mountains and rivers, and many excellent paintings were born in the mountains and rivers. Lu Mao showed his care by bringing him to such a quiet park.

Two people and one dog bought tickets and walked slowly inside.

When we arrived at the park, the feeling of autumn was even more obvious.

The bright red maple leaves are like low-hanging sunset glow, hanging in puffs under the blue sky. The grass leaves on the ground are gradually sparse, but there are unknown flowers quietly blooming in this season.

Blue and red complement each other, and flowers and leaves complement each other. Even in the park where there are no people around, there is some natural excitement.

Fenrir found a kitten under the maple leaves. It walked over curiously, was slapped by the kitten, and came back aggrievedly.

Lumao laughed and said, "Why are you aggrieved? You are so big that other kittens are scared."

Fenrir let out a "woof" and even lowered his tail.

Lu Mao smiled and touched its head, and then remembered something: "You have been in seclusion for the past few months. Have you gone to get vaccinated? If you go to get vaccinated now, the peak period has passed, and it will probably be more relaxed."

Wen Baizhou didn't react: "What?"

Lu Mao showed a real look: "Ancestor, have you taken the lung cancer vaccine?"

"Oh!" Wen Baizhou said quickly, "My mother asked me to take it."

" Sure enough, Auntie is reliable." Lu Mao breathed a sigh of relief and went to rub Fenrir again, "Look at how you stay at home every day to retreat and compete in drawing. If you didn't have Auntie, you would have missed so many things. You don't care about anything. We already have mechanical dogs, when will my mechanical dog get home!"

Wen Baizhou laughed.

Lu Mao smacked his lips, and then said: "If the mechanical dog doesn't come, I will replace the order with a housework robot. After thinking about it, housework robots are better."

"Housework...robot?" Wen Baizhou was confused, "When did it happen?"

"It's something you don't need anyway, so it's normal that you don't know about it." Lu Mao patted him, "Last month, the headlines were on the headlines for many days, you must not have See."

...That's true.

Last month, he was still on the way to Zecheng. All his energy was focused on the door and he really didn't pay attention to anything else.

"The housekeeping robot can also customize its appearance. It is very delicious." Lumao said, "If the production capacity can keep up, it will be even more delicious. I heard that the AI ​​equipped is an iterative and upgraded version of the mechanical dog, and it can also provide basic patient care. I also ordered one for my grandma, but I don't know when it will arrive." As

Wen Baizhou listened to his endless words, the trancelike feeling of leaving home and suddenly seeing autumn came again.

The contrast between the world that remains unchanged and the world that changes day by day is so obvious.

He walked in the middle of the two worlds, looking up and seeing the continuous alternation of prosperity and ashes.

The other half of the sky-high building is a collapsed ruin, and the blooming flowers turn into devastation the next moment. The mood in his heart kept fluctuating, but he couldn't find a landing point.

Wen Baizhou's confused expression made Lu Mao's heart skip a beat.

"What's wrong Zhouzhou?" Lu Mao stopped and looked at Wen Baizhou's face carefully, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wen Baizhou blinked, then recovered and shook his head: "I just suddenly felt that I just I painted a picture, but why can't I keep up with the times?"

Lu Mao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "This is too normal." He patted Wen Baizhou hard: "Ever since the day the mechanical dog came out, I have been thinking about it all day long. I feel like I can't keep up with the times."

It's a robot dog and a cancer vaccine. Look at the military news, how their peacekeeping troops even use laser-guided weapons.

Shouldn't that kind of thing exist in science fiction?

Even looking at foreign news, Ireba even jumped to scold Long Xia for engaging in weapons threats and technological monopoly a few days ago. He had developed electromagnetic weapons and plasma shields, but refused to admit it. They are still building a space relay station in the sky, trying to threaten the safety of the entire Blue Star!

When they wake up, they can threaten the safety of the entire Blue Star.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, Lu Mao is very happy to see this news.

He kept talking, and finally concluded: "It's time for us to reap the fruits of science and technology. It's normal to feel like you've been eliminated if you don't watch the news for a day."

Wen Baizhou felt something in his heart when he heard it: "Space Relay station? When did it happen?"

"Actually, it's a space station. Haven't we been expanding it for several years?" Lu Mao said, "I don't know what was launched recently, and Ireba exploded. Yes."

Wen Baizhou nodded thoughtfully.

After walking in the park for a long time with Lv Mao, we went to the ancient temple next door for a vegetarian meal. It was getting late, and the two of them headed back home.

When we went back, we happened to hit the evening rush hour, and we were stuck in traffic all the way back to the small villa. It was already past ten o'clock.

Pushing the door open and entering, there was no one else in the living room except Lu Heng.

"Brother Heng." Wen Baizhou put his hands behind his back, "Why didn't you go to bed?"

Lu Heng looked at him blankly. This was the first time Lu Heng had seen Wen Baizhou with short hair since they met. The young man's beautiful eyebrows were fully exposed, with only a few strands of bangs hanging on his eyebrows.

The brown eyes, which are slightly lighter than ordinary people, are as sparkling as a cup of light tea when illuminated by the light in the living room. This made him look as cold as water, but also a little fragile.

"Brother Heng?" Wen Baizhou called out again in confusion, and he asked a little embarrassedly, "Is my hairstyle inappropriate?"

Lu Heng came back to his senses, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "No. It looks good."

Although. Without the little one, it's a little less cute. But it has a bit more of an awe-inspiring coldness. It was cold and brittle, and one couldn't help but think...

Lu Heng's throat rolled uncomfortably. He changed his sitting position and asked, "Did you have fun today?"

Wen Baizhou suddenly laughed when he heard this. He walked to Lu Heng and sat down next to him in a few steps: "Look!"

In a blink of an eye, a flash of red suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Lu Heng took a closer look and found that it was a tree branch. The leaves on the branch are shaped like the palm of a hand, with five leaves split. But it is bright red in color.

"You said you don't need to bring anything." Wen Baizhou shook the maple branch in his hand, "So I brought you a touch of autumn."

For a moment, the heartbeat was louder than anything else.

All the blood in his body seemed to be rushing towards his uncontrollable heart, and the sound of gurgling blood could even be heard in his ears.

"Plop."

"Plop--"

Lu Sheng looked at Wen Baizhou in front of him steadily, his heart beating almost splitting in half.

Half of them are shouting at the top of their lungs: "Tell him! No matter what means you use, keep him!"

The other half is like dying, and even the violent beating is just the reflection of light stirred by the maple leaves.

It kept saying: "Lu Heng, you can't be so selfish."

So even himself and his soul were divided into two halves according to this heart.

Both joy and sadness. The enthusiasm of joy and the pain of sorrow made it almost impossible for him to maintain his expression.

Wen Baizhou looked at Lu Heng blankly. He always felt that Lu Heng looked strange today. He looked at Lu Heng's face carefully, met Lu Heng's eyes without blinking, and asked directly: "What's wrong? Do you not like it?" "

No, no." Lu Heng said almost panicked, "I like it very much. ."

He stretched out his hand to take the maple branch, but his fingers inadvertently heard Bai Zhou's fingertips touching each other.

The next moment, Lu Heng clenched the branch suddenly and almost snatched it into his hand: "It's good that you're back. I'll go upstairs."

He clung to Qiu Hong and ran away.

Wen Baizhou withdrew his hand in confusion. His hand was a little painful from being scratched by a branch, but what made him more concerned was that Brother Heng's hand was so cold.

The moment he accidentally touched it, he almost thought he had touched an ice cube.

What happened to Lu Heng...?

If this were in Yicheng and seeing Lu Heng like this, he would definitely think something had happened to Mr. Yang. But they are still outside Zecheng. The news about Mr. Yang is a month's drive away. In any case, it should not be news about Mr. Yang.

Wen Baizhou stood up thoughtfully and walked quickly to the third floor.

When he reached the second floor, he saw that the door of Lu Heng's room was closed, without even a trace of light. He frowned slightly and sped up to the third floor.

But when we got to the third floor, we discovered that four other people were gathering above to play mahjong. Everyone was in high spirits and no one had any trouble.

"Little ancestor, you are back!" Yu Xingye's eyes lit up when he saw him, "You must be able to play mahjong! Come and help me!" "

Xingye, you must not cheat with foreign aid." Lian Sheng said , "You have to abide by the rules you set yourself."

"I abide by the rules -" Yu Xingye looked up to the sky and roared, "If I keep abiding by it, I will lose my pants!"

Ye Chi laughed loudly: "Let's You overestimate your ability and challenge me."

Gui Yao, who was sitting next to him, threw a card expressionlessly, and Ye Chi's eyebrows were flying: "What a fool."

"Xiao Yao, give him the cards!" Yu Xingye He stretched out his hand and waved at Wen Baizhou: "Little ancestor, help me!"

Wen Baizhou stood at the door and said helplessly: "I don't know how."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room were shocked. : "You don't know how?!"

"Well, I don't know how." Wen Baizhou said.

"Didn't you say how many years have you lived in Yicheng?" Yu Xingye asked in disbelief, "How could you not know how to play mahjong?" "You

really can't." Wen Baizhou said, "When you were in Yicheng, you were busy I've been painting, but I haven't touched these things." After saying that, he turned around and said, "You guys play first, I'll go down first."

He walked away without any regrets.

Yu Xingye looked at the empty door and said blankly: "What did he come up for? Looking for someone?"

"I don't know." Lian Sheng shook his head, "Brother Heng is down there, so he doesn't come up if he wants to find someone." Talk."

As soon as these words came out, Lian Sheng was suddenly startled.

Brother Heng is below. Xiaowen came and left inexplicably again.

The two of them were downstairs before. Did something happen?

With this thought, Liansheng's mind suddenly became confused. While he was thinking, Brother Heng wouldn't be so careless, but at the same time he was afraid, what if?

The human heart is never easy to control.

The two of them get along together every day and night, and Xiao Wen has the best temper. What if Brother Heng can't hold it in any longer?

Thinking of this, Lian Sheng suddenly stood up: "I'll go downstairs to get some food, what do you want?"

Several people ordered their meals in a hurry, and Lian Sheng hurried downstairs.

When they arrived on the second floor, they found that the doors of Lu Heng and Wen Baizhou's rooms were both closed. There was a little light coming from under the crack of one door, while the other one was pitch black with nothing.

Lian Sheng glanced at it and hurried downstairs. As expected, there was no sign of anyone on the first floor.

He became more and more frightened, so he went to the refrigerator to get something, and then hurried upstairs.

Walking to the door, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out and knocking on Wen Baizhou's door: "Xiao Wen."

After a while, Wen Baizhou opened the door: "Liansheng, what's wrong? I really can't play mahjong. ."

"No, I just wanted to ask you if you would like a drink." He raised the drink in his hand, "We were hungry upstairs and were going to have some supper."

Wen Baizhou shook his head: " No need, you guys eat slowly, I'm going to draw something and then go to bed."

Seeing that there was no shadow of Lu Heng in the room, Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked him casually: "Did you see it when you came back? Brother Heng? He rested a little early today. I'm worried about whether he has a physical problem." "

I met him, said hello to Brother Heng and went upstairs. Is he supposed to be okay?" Wen Baizhou thought about it. After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe I just want to go to bed early today."

"Okay, I'll go up."

Lian Sheng waved his hand and went upstairs with a bag of drinks.

Wen Baizhou closed the door. He stood at the door for a while, then sighed and returned to the canvas, lifted the white cloth, lowered his head and adjusted the colors.

In the room separated by the wall, Lu Heng was lying on the bed, motionless.

There was no light in the room, but the light from downstairs filtered in through the glass window, casting the shadow of the curtains on the ceiling. Such misty black is a bit like the daytime of 2099.

It is not a pure night, but the light is separated by heavy dark clouds and cannot penetrate anyway.

Just like Lu Heng's mood at this moment.

Countless emotions weighed heavily on his heart, and the maple branches by the window cast a huge shadow in the room.

The maple branches turned into monsters in the void. As long as he stood far away, a huge shadow enveloped him, making him unable to sleep.

"I brought you a touch of autumn."

Wen Baizhou's voice kept echoing in Lu Heng's mind.

His fingers holding on to the maple branches, his moist and smiling eyes, and the look of anticipation on his face.

He went out to play with his friends, but he didn't forget to bring him a touch of autumn.

Bai Zhou.

Zhouzhou...

Lu Heng stared at the ceiling blankly, feeling extremely confused.

He turned to look at the maple branches stuck on the windowsill.

The branches were blocked by the curtains, and only a vague shadow could be seen.

He watched without blinking, and after a long time, he closed his eyes in exhaustion and despair.

Yicheng, which only has winter, cannot support the bright autumn colors.

☆ 155. Chapter 154 [Two in One]

Chapter 154 [Two in One]

Wen Baizhou looked at the canvas in front of him. The paint on the brush in his hand was almost dry, and he didn't know how to start painting.

What was painted on this canvas before? Wen Baizhou looked at the canvas for a long time and found that he had forgotten it.

He couldn't even remember when he erased the original painting and started a new one.

But he remembered that he was very happy when he painted this new painting.

With a little bit of indescribable secret joy, he erased the original painting and started painting a new portrait.

Wen Baizhou rarely painted portraits.

He became famous at a young age, but the works for which he became famous have nothing to do with people. The best portrait painted so far is the one hanging in Professor Wen's office.

Other paintings involving people are not, strictly speaking, portraits.

But what was before him now was a portrait.

This portrait does not have the surging emotions of Teacher Qi's "Lecture Picture in Ruins", nor does it have the extreme use of colors in the "Summer Picture" given to Lu Mao.

The feeling expressed in this portrait is even somewhat similar to the series "Hometown" in his graduation work.

It...is the one with the softest and warmest emotion among Wen Baizhou's recent paintings.

There was soft sunlight falling from the glass window, falling on the finely textured wall, and also falling on the person by the window.

The man was wearing a black shirt with his cuffs rolled up, revealing his well-joined but powerful wrists. He was holding a book and was reading seriously with his eyebrows lowered.

This painting is not finished yet. Many places are only painted with color. But Wen Baizhou knew who was in the painting at a glance.

Law Heng.

He drew Lu Heng.

I drew Lu Heng who was by my side every day.

The captain of the transport team at Yicheng Bunker No. 01 is always extremely patient. He sat by the window and read a book, and could not move for hours except turning the pages.

No matter the sun is blazing outside the window or the rain is pouring, he can sit there and read quietly.

The hand holding the gun began to hold the book, and the person seemed to follow the book, giving it a touch of bookishness. Sometimes Wen Baizhou felt that if he put a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on Brother Heng, he would be able to give lectures in their school.

So unknowingly, Lu Heng seemed to have become the best model in the eyes of the young painters around him.

He just sat there, allowing the little painter hidden behind the canvas to look at him quietly and paint him quietly.

When the last stroke is finished, the young painter can call "Brother Heng" and then turn the canvas to his exclusive model.

The model will definitely be surprised, but she will also be very happy.

At least... Wen Baizhou always felt that way before.

But now, before he finished his painting, Brother Heng, who had been sitting there quietly, disappeared.

I held the pen in my hand for a long time, but in the end the tip of the pen did not fall on the canvas.

Wen Baizhou threw away his paintbrush, feeling a little upset for no reason.

He always felt that Lu Heng was avoiding him tonight. But what did he do to make Lu Heng avoid him? ! Didn't he just cut his hair and break a branch?

If he didn't want Lu Heng to see it, he wouldn't do such noisy things!

He bought that branch from the park management...

The park management nodded, and then he found a suitable maple tree and broke off a small branch.

You can't just avoid him just because he breaks branches, right?

"It's so annoying..."

A sense of grievance rose up in my heart for no reason. Wen Baizhou walked back to the bed, raised his head and fell down: "I'm annoyed."

He told Lu Mao that he was upset in the afternoon, which was a lie, but now he was really annoyed to death.

He rolled around on the bed a few times and his cell phone dinged twice.

Wen Baizhou lay face down on the bed, so annoyed that he didn't even want to read the news. The phone dinged for a long time, and until there was no more news, he stretched out his hand to grab the phone thrown next to the pillow.

He clicked on it and found that it was a message sent to him by Lu Mao.

Lumao: I forgot to tell you that I sent your "Summer Picture" to auction last month and it was sold.

Lu Mao: The auction house told me that the buyer is a big shot from the country next door. He has money and is willing to spend it. I like this kind of buyer so much.

Lu Mao: Your painting makes me feel too hot when I look at it, but I guess it's too cold there. I heard that the boss was full of praise for your painting, saying that it made my eyes light up, like sunshine. Quite good at boasting.

Lu Mao: I'm so willing to spend money. I'm going to get close to the big guy.

Lv Mao: The taxes have been paid to you, so where do you get the money?

Hearing that Baizhou was not interested, he looked at it for a long time and slowly typed a reply: "How much did it cost?"

Lu Mao probably made a special trip to talk about this, as he responded to the message quite quickly.

Green hair: seven digits.

Immediately afterwards, he also sent a screenshot of the electronic tax form.

When Wen Baizhou opened it and took a look, he stood up in shock: "How much?!"

The number five on the screenshot was followed by a clear string of zeros.

"Really or not..."

Only then did he understand what Lu Mao meant by "being willing to spend money."

No wonder Lu Mao has been anxious to contact him since last month and made many calls over and over again.

This auction price, let alone a young artist, has a place among all contemporary art works.

If it weren't for the clear tax payment form, his paintings could have such a price, Wen Baizhou would have to wonder if Lu Mao was laundering money for the boss.

"How come there are so many?" He couldn't help but say.

"Boss, I really like it." Lu Mao replied quickly, "I heard that your summer picture is in my study now. I will see you every day when I look up."

Lu Mao added: "Xiaozhou, there is no need to think so much. Luck. Just take care of it when you come, you just draw your paintings, I will take care of everything else."

Wen Baizhou looked at Lu Mao's last message, and his irritable mood suddenly cleared.

He responded with a quick "thank you", put on his shoes and headed out the door.

Lu Mao is right. When luck comes, you must seize it. He is now a great painter who can earn seven figures for a painting. What does he have to be afraid of!

He walked to the door of Lu Heng's room aggressively, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door calmly, making up his mind that if Lu Heng didn't make it clear today, neither of them would sleep tonight.

As soon as the sound of opening the door came, he looked at Lu Heng behind the door and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Lu Heng's room was dark. When he opened the door, the light from the corridor illuminated a corner of the room.

Lu Heng stood in the darkness, his eyes slightly surprised: "Zhou Zhou?"

Wen Baizhou looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Why didn't you turn on the light?"

Lu Heng stood by the door, She neither invited him into the room nor answered his questions. She only said, "Is something wrong?"

Such a reclusive attitude made Wen Baizhou irritable again.

The dark room seemed to divide the two of them in two, with a thin door separating two worlds.

This doesn't feel good at all.

Wen Baizhou simply reached out and lit the lights in Lu Heng's room, then raised his head and looked directly at Lu Heng and said, "Yes, there is something. I need to talk to you."

Lu Heng hesitated slightly. Just as he was about to invite Wen Baizhou into the house, he suddenly remembered the maple leaf he had inserted by the window and blocked by the curtains.

Instinctively, he didn't want Wen Baizhou to find out about this.

Lu Heng stood at the door and did not move. He just said, "Let's go, where can we talk?"

He was not even allowed to enter the room...

This attitude made Wen Baizhou even more irritable.

Wen Baizhou frowned unconsciously. He blinked and looked away, suddenly turned around and said, "I don't want to talk anymore."

He left immediately after saying that.

He walked back to the house a little faster than when he came to find Lu Heng. He ran back to the house in a few steps and slammed the door hard - the expected bang did not come.

Lu Heng was almost one step late.

He reached out and held the door, and asked worriedly from a distance: "Zhouzhou, what's wrong?"

Wen Baizhou turned around, and this time he stood in the door, looking at Lu Heng outside the door.

He asked through the door: "Is something wrong?"

Lu Heng looked down at him.

The light in Wen Baizhou's room was bright, and standing at the door he could see a corner of the unobstructed canvas. There was a mess of black there, as if the person writing the pen couldn't find where to put it and could only smear it randomly.

"You..." Lu Heng guessed, "Is the painting not going well?"

Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and answered after a long time: "Yes."

Lu Heng softened his voice: "Why?"

Wen Baizhou shook his hand Holding the doorknob, he muttered: "It's my turn to ask."

He raised his head and looked directly at Lu Heng, and asked directly: "Why are you hiding from me?"

The lights in the room and the corridor fell on his brown eyes. Inside, the handful of sparkling water seemed to be rippling again. The dazzling De Luheng subconsciously averted his eyes.

"Look, you're avoiding me again." Wen Baizhou said immediately, "Did I do anything to make you unhappy?"

"No." Lu Heng said immediately.

Wen Baizhou immediately said, "That was in Zecheng. Did I make any wrong decision?"

"No!" Lu Heng raised his eyes and looked at him, his voice even louder. He emphasized: "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Then why are you hiding from me?"

The topic returned to its original point.

Lu Heng closed his eyes forcefully. He avoided Wen Baizhou's eyes and lowered his voice: "You are not wrong, it is my problem." "

Okay. We will treat it as your problem." Wen Baizhou nodded. He said, "So, you are punishing me now because of your own problems. It means that your problem involves me. Why?"

Lu Heng stood there, his jaw tensed, and veins popped out in the hand holding the door. , the suppressed thoughts in his heart almost broke through his skin.

The lights in the corridor and the room illuminated everything in his field of vision, but at this moment, he still felt like he was in the suburbs of 2099 without lights.

The surrounding fields were silent, the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and there was no light or people anywhere as far as the eye could see.

And he is as desolate as the countryside.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wen Baizhou's voice again.

Wen Baizhou stared at him and asked with almost no cover: "Brother Heng, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Heng raised his head suddenly.

His dark eyes crashed into the sparkling light.

Wen Baizhou blinked and did not avoid Lu Heng's gaze.

Unable to wait for Lu Heng's answer, he said again, "If you don't tell me, I'll guess it myself."

Lu Heng's throat rolled, and it took him a while before he said, "Okay."

His voice turned out to be hoarse.

"Are you hiding from me because you are afraid of me?" Wen Baizhou's mind was spinning rapidly. He looked into Lu Heng's dark eyes and thought of all the things that had happened along the way.

Thinking of his extraordinary patience, his desperate efforts to save her, and thinking that every time she raised her eyes to look at him, she would look into his black eyes.

After a while, Wen Baizhou said with certainty: "You are afraid of me because..."

"You like me. Really?"

Lu Heng gritted his teeth. Almost in the blink of an eye, he broke out in hot sweat.

He straightened his back, his stern brows suddenly wrinkled, and he groaned in pain: "Zhou Zhou."

His voice was hoarse and sounded like a prayer.

Wen Baizhou only asked: "I guessed it right. Really?"

Lu Heng closed his eyes.

He said nothing, but almost like a sacrifice, he showed all the emotions buried in his heart in front of Wen Baizhou.

He knew that their little ancestor had an extraordinary understanding of emotions. Because he is sensitive enough, he can draw so many touching paintings.

Lu Heng knew it, and Wen Baizhou could understand it.

"Because you like me... you are in so much pain." Wen Baizhou murmured, "Why?"

Lu Heng opened his eyes and slowly lowered his gaze. He traced Wen Baizhou's cheek carefully with his eyes: "When I get back to the bunker, I will tell the old man that Yang Tong will lead the team. In fact, his identity is also more..." "

Why?" Wen Baizhou interrupted him "You didn't even ask me, so you sentenced yourself to death first?"

"Zhouzhou, you know this is inappropriate." Lu Heng said softly, "You don't have to be responsible for my emotions." "

No, I I'm just taking responsibility for my own emotions." Wen Baizhou shook his head, "I don't know what is out of season."

He looked at Lu Heng seriously and refused to let go of his emotions: "What does it mean to be out of season?" ?"

Lu Heng couldn't answer.

He wanted to say that the person he met at the same time and in the same space was the right person.

But no matter what, he couldn't imagine Wen Baizhou walking side by side with another person.

His blood, his bones, and his soul were all screaming and asking: "Why?!" Why

should he give in to a "timely"?

"Look, you also know that this answer is ridiculous." Wen Baizhou slowly exhaled a breath, and he felt as if he had become a little light again.

Such lightness made Wen Baizhou raise the corners of his mouth and said simply: "I know what you are thinking, just let me think about it."

Lu Heng said immediately: "No, you don't have to do it for me..." "

It's for me. Myself." Wen Baizhou said briskly, "I have to think about it, you go and have a rest."

The door to the room was closed without hesitation.

Lu Heng looked at the closed door, and all his strength was released, but deep in his heart, there was an unreasonable joy.

The heart that was split in two seemed to be merged into one again.

Plop.

Plop -

it jumped extra hard, but it was full of ferocity. It was shouting: "Lu Heng, you are so selfish!"

Lu Heng accepted this evaluation calmly.

He had been walking in the dark wilderness for too long. Until now, after exhausting everything, I saw a flower in the wilderness.

Why should he give this flower to someone else?

Why couldn't he wait for a gust of wind to make the flowers nod?

Even if he only had it for a moment, he could muster the strength to move forward again.

The sensor lights in the corridor went out.

The familiar darkness brought back Lu Heng's thoughts. He knocked lightly on Wen Baizhou's door and whispered, "I'm going back to the house first."

"Okay."

Wen Baizhou's voice came through the door.

Lu Heng stood for a while longer before turning back to his room.

The lights in his room were bright, lit by Wen Baizhou.

He looked at everything in the room, and the desperate struggle in his heart suddenly became calm. There was even some joy.

He walked briskly to the window, took the maple branch into his hand again, and placed it on the bedside with great care.

...

And Wen Baizhou was in his room, sitting in front of the canvas again.

He examined the paintings in front of him as if examining his own heart.

There are obviously large blocks of color on the painting, but the person who painted it painted the people in extremely detail.

The person in the painting has lowered eyes, a serious expression, slightly raised corners of the mouth, and a hand holding the book with slight force.

Sunlight pours in outside the window, giving the figure in the painting a soft golden edge.

This made him look extremely gentle.

But no matter who he asked, Lu Heng was not a gentle person.

This is what Lu Heng looks like in his eyes, not how Lu Heng looks in the eyes of others.

"So..." Wen Baizhou picked up the brush and asked, "What do I think?"

The answer is almost clear in front of this painting.

Wen Baizhou accepted this answer easily.

The irritability that made him feel uncomfortable before was completely gone, and he seemed to be surrounded by happy bubbles again. He could fly up to the sky with the bubbles and finish the painting completely overnight.

"So other than that...what else scares him so much?"

Wen Baizhou turned to look out the window. The answer seemed not difficult to find.

In the backyard with lights on, there were a few little warriors guarding the wall.

When he saw Bai Zhou coming, he smiled and said hello to him.

Wen Baizhou asked casually: "You are on duty tonight."

"Yes, there are three of us tonight." The little soldier said with a smile, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

"I feel inspired to do something else." Wen Baizhou asked casually. Bai Zhou said with a smile, "So I decided to come down and take a look."

He slowly walked to the door and saw it was raining again in Zecheng outside the door.

The rain fell continuously, and there was a shallow amount of water on the sandy soil. Wen Baizhou knew that if he stepped on it, the accumulated water would turn into mud.

When the rain dries up, the nutrients in the land will be further taken away, and the deep soil that has not yet been sanded will turn into sand with each rain.

It is because of the long rainy season that the desertification in Zecheng is more serious than that in Yicheng.

Wen Baizhou stared out the door with a serious expression.

The little soldier on the side couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked him softly: "Xiao Wen, what did you see?"

"Big waves."

Wen Baizhou came back to his senses. He saw the shock on the little soldier's face, and added with a smile: "Block There are huge waves ahead."

After saying that, regardless of the little soldier's confused expression, he waved to them: "I decided to go next door to find my mother, don't worry."

When he slowly moved over, It's almost twelve o'clock, but Ms. Song hasn't slept yet.

What surprised Wen Baizhou even more was that his biological father, who had not been home for several months, was actually at home today.

Wen Baizhou stood at the door, neither entering nor retreating for a moment.

"Stand at the door and be a doorkeeper?" Ms. Song ordered calmly, "Come in." "

Oh."

Wen Baizhou stepped through the door, walked between his parents, and sat down.

Professor Wen turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.

Wen Baizhou smiled at his father, stretched out his hand and said, "Professor Wen, you actually know where the front door of your house is?" Professor

Wen hugged his son, and then patted him on the back: "You son of a bitch, What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Baizhou snorted twice and watched the family movie on TV with his parents. When the ending song had finished, he said: "Mom and Dad, how did you decide to be together in the future? Together?"

This was a very serious question.

Ms. Song and Professor Wen exchanged glances, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Why do you want to ask this?" "Isn't this the theme of the movie?" Wen Baizhou said with a natural expression, " Let's discuss it

."

Put it down. Ms. Song slapped Wen Baizhou angrily: "Whoever wants to discuss movies with you can't get together." "

I've already watched it with you..." Wen Baizhou muttered, "You just want to be with me. Let's discuss it, Dad."

"What else?" Professor Wen said proudly, "Your mother and I were watching the movie, and you were the one who wasn't invited." "

So? How can you, a math major, cross majors with others? Are we with my mother?" Wen Baizhou turned to ask him.

"Kid, please control your curiosity." Professor Wen waved his hands and said impatiently, "It's almost midnight, go to bed."

Wen Baizhou stood up and said, "Okay, I won't bother you two here anymore. "

He was hesitant on the road when he came, but now he walks faster. After taking a few steps to the door and closing the door, I didn't see the slightly worried expressions of my parents behind me.

After the door closed, Professor Wen lowered his voice and asked softly: "Zhouzhou...why did you suddenly ask such a question?" "

He has been following him...just a few people, right?" Ms. Song hesitated. , "Do you know where he went before?"

"No matter where he went, your son also knows this. Just think about the environment, can he have such a heart?" Professor Wen really felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. , "He..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ms. Song's face turned serious. She looked at Professor Wen seriously and said in a deep voice: "Lao Wen, let me tell you, Zhouzhou has suffered enough. No matter who he asked this question because of, I don't want you to stand on the opposite side of him, understand. "?"

"To say this, you don't trust me too much." Professor Wen said softly, "I'm just afraid that he will suffer, what else do I have to worry about?"

They, Zhouzhou, had put almost all their emotions on In the paintings.

All his hobbies are also put into painting.

When other people's children were in love for the first time and fell in love behind their parents' back, Wen Baizhou was obsessed with the master's paintings. When they went to college and got married, Wen Baizhou was still obsessed with the paintings of masters.

His world is too simple and his goals are too clear.

Professor Wen was once prepared that Wen Baizhou would never get married until he realized what he was doing.

But now, his Zhouzhou will turn his attention to someone he doesn't know, and will start thinking about "together" with that person.

No matter what kind of person the other person is, they are happy for it.

"But wife. You know, the...artificial intelligence in the future society is quite advanced."

Professor Wen carefully looked at Ms. Song's expression: "If the target is not an individual, then..."

Ms. Song looked at him quietly. , suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his arm: "Say something I don't want to hear. Take it back!" * *

*

A light rain began to fall in the villa area, and in the middle of the night, the rain suddenly became heavier.

The green trees in the green area were rustling from the heavy rain. When I woke up the next day, the ground was covered with wet fallen leaves.

Autumn has arrived, and an autumn rain brings more chill.

Wen Baizhou changed into a thick coat and was already standing at the gate before eating breakfast: "I want to go out for a while, don't wait for me."

Lu Heng did not speak, Yu Xingye said unconsciously: "Okay , where are we going to play? Come back with something fun?"

"It depends. I'm meeting an old friend today, so I may not be free." Wen Baizhou straightened his clothes at the door and asked again as if he was a little nervous, " Is it appropriate for me to dress like this?"

"What don't you wear that looks good on you?" Yu Xingye said calmly, "I'm suddenly in love with beauty, but there's something wrong with you."

Wen Baizhou smiled and took out an umbrella from the door: "Let's go. "

Lu Heng remained silent until the sound of the door closing was heard, and then he calmly released his palm.

The chopsticks in my hand suddenly became two pieces.

He dropped the broken chopsticks and calmly replaced them with a new pair under Lian Sheng's worried gaze.

☆ 156. Chapter 155 [Two in One]

Chapter 155 [Two-in-one]

Wen Baizhou took Fenrir to the coffee shop on the first floor of the shopping mall to get the takeaway coffee he ordered before strolling upstairs.

There seemed to be some activities going on in the mall today. A stage was set up in the center of the first floor, and many children gathered there to play. The child was not accompanied by adults, but by many small mechanical dogs.

Those puppies are very quiet. Even if the little owners occasionally have conflicts with their friends, the dogs will not interfere in the affairs between the children. But once a strange adult gets too close, the dogs almost immediately become wary.

"So smart." Wen Baizhou couldn't help but sigh.

Fenrir suddenly stopped complying. It raised its head and bit Wen Baizhou's sleeve and gently pulled it. Seeing Wen Baizhou lower his eyes, he immediately said: "Fenrir is also very smart~"

Wen Baizhou couldn't stop laughing, and he rubbed Fenrir vigorously. Er's big head said: "Yes, you are the smartest. Those dogs are not as good as you."

After hearing this, Fenrir was immediately satisfied. It looked up at the puppies on the first floor and waved its tail triumphantly.

The old man passing by suddenly laughed kindly.

Wen Baizhou followed the sound and looked over, and found that it was an old man in a wheelchair. There are belts on the old man's legs, and he is followed by a... person with pointed ears?

Meeting his gaze, the man with pointed ears immediately said, "Sir, my grandpa means no harm." "

I know." Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "I was just wondering whether I should ask grandpa to touch it."

Fen Reard immediately came over and put his big head on the old man's lap: "Wow~"

The old man cheerfully stretched out his hand: "Good dog."

He stroked Fenrir's head with a smile on his face, and talked with him. Wen Baizhou replied: "I'll bring our children to replace the template. Did you bring the dog too?"

As he spoke, he raised his chin and pointed to the second floor not far away.

Hearing this, Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "No, I made an appointment with my friends to play out and take him for a walk." He pointed at Fenrir and said, "Grandpa, do you want to go to the store? Let's go together."

Old man No objection, he let the pointy-eared robot push the wheelchair, and he kept talking to Wen Baizhou happily: "You are a very good smart companion, did you order it yourself? My child ordered this for me, and he said it was him He grabbed it for me while guarding the computer. There were more home modules installed before. I dropped it and had to replace it with a medical module." "

I didn't decide on this." Wen Baizhou said, "The module can be installed by itself. Come and replace it? Isn't this very inconvenient?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "No, no. Simple modules can be replaced by yourself online. I mainly need targeted care. So I need to come here."

"Last week, big brother has submitted an application for a specialized module. Today I am here to install this dedicated nursing module." The pointy-eared home robot added, "Normally, regular module replacement is not such a hassle."

Wen Baizhou nodded. : "I see, that's quite convenient."

"Yes. It's good for the young people and for us." The old man was in a good mood, "You may have broken your leg. You can't always be around to take care of your child. Please hire someone. Care, where does the money come from? You still have to bet on other people's conscience. A robot would be the best."

Wen Baizhou turned his head and looked at the household robot with pointed ears.

It was half a head shorter than Wen Baizhou, about 1.7 meters tall. The walking posture is no different from that of a real person. The dialogue system is also very smooth when talking.

Its external appearance is more like an enlarged version of a model doll than a real person. You should ask a professional model designer to sculpt the face. Judging from the movements of the neck and fingers, the outer covering is soft. Wen Baizhou guessed that special silicone was used.

The eyes don't look like lenses, but more like sculpted glass eyes. The ears are pointed elf-like ears.

It looks more like a refined model that has come to life than a real person.

Wen Baizhou was thinking about whether to get one for Mr. Yang when he suddenly heard a scolding in his ears: "You are discriminating!"

He was so shocked that when he looked around, he saw a brown-haired and white-skinned Ireba. People stood at the door of their destination store, pointed at the clerk and yelled: "I am a consumer! I came here specially to buy your robot! Why don't you sell it to me!"

The clerk said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Sir, our robot is currently available It has been booked for half a year. If you want to buy, please take out your ID card to register and queue up."

"I am a foreigner! You don't register your passport! You deliberately set the purchase threshold and you are discriminating!" The Ereba man blushed with anger. With a thick neck, "I came here specially to order this! But you discriminate against foreigners and refuse to sell to foreigners! I want to file a complaint against you!" "

Sir, it's not that I don't sell to you, but that we really don't have the goods at the moment." The clerk She said, "Home robot is a product that our group has devoted several years of research and development to serve the family life of Chinese residents."

She emphasized the word "Chinese residents".

"Currently, because the product is loved by the market, it is temporarily out of stock. If you sincerely want to buy it, just take your ID card to register and queue up." "

You are discriminating! "

The Eriba man raised his fist -

"Fenrir!"

" "Wangwu——"

Wen Baizhou's voice sounded almost at the same time as several other barks. Fenrir had just ran a few steps when the two police dog-like mechanical dogs resting in the store had already rushed in front of the clerk.

They were at the front, guarding the store clerk firmly, watching the Eriba man whimpering in warning.

The Ariba man took a step back suddenly: "You are still attacking consumers... I want to complain about you, I must complain about you!" "

Please." The clerk stood there without showing any fear, "What else is there? Can I serve you?"

"If I didn't have to get vaccinated for lung cancer, I wouldn't have time to compete with low-class people like you here... Just wait!"

The Eriba man cursed in an unclean manner. He stood there, but he didn't dare to do anything else under the gaze of the two mechanical dogs. I could only curse and walk away.

The clerk snorted lightly and turned his attention to the old man.

"Hello." She walked out of the store and said in a brisk tone, "Is this Grandpa Li who made an appointment this morning? Your exclusive module has been prepared for you." "

It's me." The old man nodded, "Can you please help me upgrade?" Level up."

"No trouble. Please follow me." She greeted the robot next to Grandpa Li and led the robot into the store.

At this moment, Wen Baizhou's phone rang. Lu Mao asked where others were as if he was scrolling through messages.

Wen Baizhou returned the address and saw Grandpa Li looking at him happily: "Is your friend here? Don't worry about me. Go play with your friend." "

It's okay, I'll let him come over." Wen Baizhou put down his mobile phone and said, "Your family is busy, and your legs and feet are inconvenient now. I don't worry about leaving you alone." The

Artificial Intelligence Experience Center has always been the most popular store in the mall. Lu Mao looked at the name of the store and came over directly.

When they arrived, they didn't rush him away. Instead, they waited for the pointy-eared household robot to update its module and return to the old man's side before the two of them took Fenrir upstairs.

"You didn't look right when I came here. What happened to you?" Lu Mao asked casually.

Wen Baizhou briefly talked about the trouble caused by the Ereba people, and Lu Mao was happy when he heard it: "Is this kind of thing? Are they still making trouble now? You have gone into seclusion and you didn't know that the robot made trouble on the first day it was sold. It's amazing."

At the beginning, it was required to open a purchasing channel exclusively for foreigners. Later, it was discovered that Smart Group did not agree with this and asked to increase the number of reservations.

There are also many people who can't buy it and just make trouble. The smart group has limited production capacity and has never agreed.

As a result, it became even worse when I found out that I had to queue up to buy and register with my ID card.

"I don't understand. They didn't just sell us their high technology casually. Our own people are still in short supply of our high technology, so why should we give it to them?" Lu Mao sneered, "You still want to buy it by force? Sell ​​it, where is your face?"

Wen Baizhou couldn't help but nodded after listening to his words.

In such a short time in the mall, he has already seen many elderly people and children accompanied by household robots. Some may come to replace templates; some may accompany them when shopping in supermarkets; and some may accompany the elderly and take care of their children. From a distance, they look like three generations of a family.

There are still so many families who have not purchased household robots. They don't have enough people, so why should they protect outsiders? It's not something like a vaccine that concerns human life.

"Speaking of which, why did you call me out today?" Lu Mao asked him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Baizhou asked, "Do I look good dressed like this today?"

Lu Mao took a few steps back, looked at Wen Baizhou carefully up and down, and then said, "The famous school boss of our school is dressed like this today. , which idol drama are you planning to join?"

The young man has long arms and legs. He wears a light-colored short jacket and trousers of the same color, making his legs long and straight. Just standing there is full of vitality.

"Let's join a crew with a deep love affair with sadomasochism." Wen Baizhou thought for a while and said with a smile, "I'm really pretty good."

Seeing Lu Mao nodding in agreement, Wen Baizhou murmured: "No I always look blindly when I should look, but I don't look when I should look."

"What?" Lu Mao asked him blankly, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at me." Wen Baizhou snorted.

This answer made the green eyebrows almost rise to the hairline. He couldn't help but look at Wen Baizhou several times before asking: "What's going on with you? Who is looking at you?"

Wen Baizhou hummed. I don't want to talk anymore. He pushed the coffee in his hand to Lu Mao and then said: "I called you out today because I wanted to find out how the romantic couples in our school are doing now."

Lu Mao looked at the coffee and then He looked at Wen Baizhou and said, "You are indeed my God of Wealth, right? You are not some evildoer trying to use his appearance to trick me into gossiping, are you?"

He said he felt happy: "What's going on? Why do you care about these things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt so happy that he looked at Wen Baizhou several times, focusing on his newly cut hair.

For a long time, Lu Mao said dryly: "You...don't be...for Qing, Duan, Qingsi...are you...?"

Wen Baizhou took back the coffee he bought and said: " That's right, that's right, I'm not your God of Wealth. Let's start fighting today."

"No, just kidding." Lu Mao quickly took back the coffee, "It's amazing that you would ask such a thing."

They Xiao Wen, when she was in school, there were always competitions besides drawing. Other than that, she heard all kinds of gossip and never took it to heart.

But under such circumstances, the few young couples who could be remembered by Wen Baizhou were indeed magnificent.

Lu Mao thought for a long time and then said uncertainly: "Most of them are divided, right? After struggling like that when we were in school, how many couples can we make?"

When we are in love, we love each other desperately, but what about after graduation?

Facing the turbulent real world, the weight on my shoulders suddenly changed from studying hard to supporting myself. Not to mention that the family gap suddenly became infinitely large -

"Last time, I heard that the rich second-generation couple was in love in a foreign country. But think about it, they are separated by such a big ocean, and the time and space are different. How can we go together? How long should we go? In those days, you had to get married if you wanted to commit suicide, but now..." Lu Mao sighed with emotion, "Relationships are the easiest to maintain in sync."

He said while looking at their family's God of Wealth. With a look on his face, after finishing speaking, he asked tentatively: "Is this dress for the person who asked you to fold maple branches yesterday?"

Seeing that Bai Zhou didn't object, Lu Mao suddenly became energetic: "Then what are you? What's the situation? Are you also in love with someone from a foreign country?"

"Hmm..." Wen Baizhou thought seriously for a moment, "That's not true."

He and Lu Heng were not separated by an ocean or more than ten hours. time difference.

It only took a few decades to stop Liao.

Calculated according to normal time, was Lu Heng born when he died...?

should not.

Wen Baizhou thought to himself: He was killed by a nuclear bomb and would not live to be that old.

Seeing that he looked quite happy, and hearing that he was not in a foreign relationship, Lu Mao immediately became more relaxed: "Then what's the situation? It can't be that my uncle and aunt are against it, right?" Lu Mao

thought for a while and felt that this was not possible. .

Although Wen Baizhou's biological father was a professor in the mathematics department next door, Lu Mao and Professor Wen were not familiar with each other. But he wasn't familiar with him. As his friend's father, he had met Professor Wen several times.

Of course, given Wen Baizhou's temperament of not answering the phone when he was engaged, he had contacted Ms. Song several times.

After only a few years of brief contact, he could not imagine Professor Wen and Ms. Song fighting each other.

Both of them were able to send their daughter to join the army when she was 11 years old; and when her son was 16, they were able to let him go to college and travel around the world.

This is definitely not an elder who will restrain children.

It's just a relationship, not marriage...

marriage? !

Lu Mao was shocked: "You didn't just take someone home without saying a word and just say you wanted to get married, right?!" "

I'm not that unreliable." Wen Baizhou said helplessly, "I just want to see you. Look, are there any successful cases that I can refer to?"

"What are you referring to?" The more Lu Mao listened, the more he was wrong. "Are you taking someone to elope or stealing your household registration book?"

Wen Baizhou hesitated for a while before replying: "How can I make him...accept me without any burden."

Lu Mao was completely dumbfounded.

"Well, that's it." Wen Baizhou confirmed, "We are attracted to each other. There is no obstacle on my side, but he can't get over that hurdle by himself. Is there anything I can refer to?"

Lu Mao said dryly: " ...No."

He came back to his senses and asked again: "What obstacles can't be overcome by your sweetheart? Time? Distance? Family?"

Wen Baizhou thought for a while and affirmed: "All of them."

Good guy.

It is not easy to collect these three conditions at once.

Lu Mao grabbed the coffee in his hand and took a long sip, then put his arm around Wen Baizhou's shoulders and said sincerely: "Zhou Zhou, you see that you who worked the hardest when you were in school get full points, right? You It's better to just take it one step at a time, break up and move on."

Wen Baizhou thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said seriously: "No, I can't bear it."

While painting, he would always think of Lu Heng's eyes.

He watched him in the car, stared at him by the campfire, surrounded by thousands-eyed black octopuses, and said goodbye to him quietly with his eyes in the endless ocean.

He never forgot a single look from Lu Heng.

But he could see Lu Heng's eyes so much because... he was also looking at him.

Because he always looked at Lu Heng unconsciously, he always caught Lu Heng's eyes looking at him.

The matter of "watching" is inherently two-way.

It was also because the person sitting there was Lu Heng that he wanted to draw him. Because Lu Heng is also a person who has never seen autumn, so he wanted to bring a touch of autumn to him.

He has never been so careful or romantic.

Just because that person is Lu Heng, he always wants to prepare many surprises.

"Be serious and stop talking nonsense," Wen Baizhou said softly, "I really can't bear to part with it."

Lu Mao's smiling face fell. He looked at Wen Baizhou and said all kinds of dissuasive words in his mouth. It took a long time before it turned into a long sigh, and he exhaled it in one breath as his belly was full of turbid air.

He reached out and patted Wen Baizhou: "We don't look at the results, we just focus on the experience, okay?" "

I don't like hearing that either." Wen Baizhou snorted, "But you are right. , we have to resolve the process first."

Seeing Lu Mao's confused look, he spoke again. Wen Baizhou said quickly: "I don't want to listen anymore. Don't say anything you want to say. Come with me to buy something."

Lu Mao sighed for a long time, then raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, sir, I will buy something with you today." Enough."

...

When I got home, the sky was filled with sunset.

The horizon was rendered into a deep and light purple, with only the last bit of flaming orange-red remaining, stubbornly occupying the skyline.

As soon as the little soldier pushed today's dinner into the small villa, Wen Baizhou came in carrying a lot of shopping bags.

"Catch up!" He threw away the bag and shouted, "I bought roast duck!"

Yu Xingye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it Yujing's specialty roast duck?!"

"Yes, that's the one!" Wen Baizhou chuckled, "I ordered four takeaways." He handed two bags to Yu Xingye and handed the other two packing tapes to the little soldier who delivered the food: "You have worked hard on duty recently, let's eat roast duck together! "

The little warrior was not polite to him. He only smiled and thanked him, then packed up and took him out.

Over there, Yu Xingye had already opened the takeout box, and his mouth watered from the smell: "It smells so good, little ancestor, go wash your hands and eat together." "

I just came back after eating." Wen Baizhou walked to the door. He picked up other bags and said, "You guys eat, I have some things to do and I have to go upstairs first."

He carried the big and small bags and didn't let anyone help him, so he just went upstairs alone.

Yu Xingye looked at his appearance and became more sure of his guess in the morning: "There must be something wrong. I dressed up specially before going out this morning. I brought so many things back after playing all day, and I didn't want anyone to touch them. I'll tell you He said, I have watched so many TV dramas, and they all say this - Hey, brother Heng, where are you going? Eat roast duck!" "

I suddenly remembered some work, go up and contact Lieutenant General Yan."

Lu Heng stood up , while talking, he strode upstairs.

As soon as Wen Baizhou carried shopping bags of various sizes into the house, Lu Heng knocked on his door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Heng said directly: "Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Wen Baizhou looked back and saw that the canvas was well covered with white cloth, so he opened the door generously: "Come in."

He There was nothing else in the house except the few shopping bags that had just been brought in.

Lu Heng looked around, felt relieved and walked to his old position to stand.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Baizhou quietly and carefully.

In 2099, Wen Baizhou almost always wore a special long down jacket. Although the clothes inside are often changed, there are only two pieces of clothes outside.

The dark green long down jacket wrapped everyone up like a fat silkworm.

But even so, Lu Heng could always see Wen Baizhou first in the crowd.

Even though everyone is a fat silkworm, Wen Baizhou is always the most conspicuous among the silkworms.

And now the most conspicuous silkworm baby is obviously specially dressed up.

The appearance he had never seen before made Lu Heng's heart beat uncontrollably. His eyes fell on Wen Baizhou and he couldn't move away.

He quietly squeezed his hand and asked Wen Baizhou softly: "Did you have fun today?"

"Very happy." Wen Baizhou nodded and responded, "I asked some things and figured out some things. "

Lu Heng's heart tightened upon hearing this. Looking at Wen Baizhou's expression, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it... related to yesterday?"

"Yes." Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "I said, I want to think about it, don't be impatient. Just give yourself the death penalty."

His expression was too relaxed. Lu Heng's throat rolled several times and he didn't know whether he should continue to ask.

Wen Baizhou took Lu Heng and sat down: "Brother Heng, although our school is a good school, but you know, there is no shortage of love brains, and there are also many people who have a vigorous relationship. I will ask today Ask about the result."

Lu Heng stiffened, instinctively not wanting to hear the follow-up.

It can be heard that Bai Zhou's voice still came very softly.

"My friend said that they were all separated. He said that it is not easy to maintain relationships if we are too far apart, and time and space are different. Even if we are together reluctantly, it will be difficult to make it to the end."

"Yeah." Lu Heng heard. He answered calmly, "This is a real problem."

"Then are you willing?" Wen Baizhou asked him with a smile on his face, "Really plan to just stand there and watch like this, without even trying at all?" Are you giving up on a so-called 'realistic problem'?"

"Brother Heng."

Wen Baizhou stretched out his hand and opened Lu Heng's clenched palm bit by bit.

Lu Heng's body temperature was always a little higher than Wen Baizhou's. Even in the coldest year of 2099, his hands were warm.

But now, that hand was as cold as ice.

Wen Baizhou covered his two palms and used his own body temperature to warm them.

"Brother Heng, I haven't told you yet."

"I think my friend is wrong."

☆ 157. Chapter 156 [Two in One]

Chapter 156 [Two in One]

Lu Heng's fingers curled up unconsciously.

Wen Baizhou felt the movement in his palm and couldn't help but laugh.

He thought that the burden on Lu Heng was really heavy.

If the love brains in school had to face "supporting themselves" as soon as they entered society, this was what Lu Heng had to consider when he lost his mother at the age of eleven or twelve.

As he grew older, the "feeding himself" he carried on his shoulders gradually turned into "feeding the bunker."

At that time, the materials in the bunker were not abundant, and the desertification of the land was not so serious. When the transport team goes out, in addition to delivering supplies along the route, it also has to exchange necessary supplies with other bunkers. Wen Baizhou guessed that maybe they still need to catch mutant animals.

Otherwise, where did the mutant animals raised in the bunker come from?

They are obviously not fully domesticated, and there is a lack of effective breeding methods in the bunker. For experiments, domestication, and population cultivation, someone has to go out and catch the original species.

At that time, every truck of supplies that came out of the bunker was the most precious.

There was a problem with a transport vehicle and the goods were lost. Maybe it was a supply point along the route, or some people in the bunker needed to be hungry for a while.

Therefore, the job of the transportation team is not just "transportation".

They have to transport goods and search for supplies throughout the city; they have to catch prey and maintain order in the bunker and along the route.

All ground work that requires people requires them to go to the top.

Lu Heng has been taking care of these things since he was a teenager.

He carries these weights and walks in the wilderness of 2099 day after day, year after year.

Perhaps in the future, one day, he will be alone and buried in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and rubbed Lu Heng's palm vigorously.

The warm palm almost melted the cold fingers. Lu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at him, not quite understanding where his sudden change of mood came from.

"Zhouzhou?"

"Brother Heng." Wen Baizhou raised his eyes, looked at him and smiled, "I'm actually not interested at all in what those love brains are trying to do to me."

His voice was very soft, and his expression was serious. . He covered Lu Heng's hand and slowly said to him: "I went to find friends to ask about their results. I just want you to know that I am seriously considering it. I have listened to many cases of people who have been through it."

He said, reluctantly He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "To be honest, it's really not a good role model." "

But I probably haven't suffered much. So when I listen to the story, I always think, it shouldn't be like that."

He His eyes were full of smiles, and the light falling on his eyes was like an endless galaxy.

He stared into Lu Heng's eyes, which were shining like stars.

Lu Sheng looked at him steadily, unwilling to miss the slightest hint of starlight in his eyes.

"It's natural that you don't know where love starts. But how to do it every day after love starts, and how to make this relationship last, should depend on the joint efforts and common choices of both parties."

Wen Bai Zhou Wen said, "Brother Heng, we are not the people in the story, so we still have the opportunity and power to choose."

"Zhou Zhou..." Lu Heng stared at the hands of the two people overlapping, and after a long time he sighed, " You know what we are facing is not that simple."

Wen Baizhou blinked and asked him with a smile: "Are we separated by an ocean?"

Seeing Lu Heng silently shaking his head, he smiled again: "That's the ocean separating us. With a time difference of more than ten hours? Every time I want to find you, it's already midnight and you can only insist on chatting with me?"

Lu Heng was silent for a moment and then said: "You know it's not these."

"Time, space, Isn't it this kind of power that's scary?" Wen Baizhou said seriously, "What's scary is those who can't walk side by side. We're not like that." He

came to a conclusion and asked confidently: "Or Are there irreconcilable contradictions in our living habits?"

Lu Heng looked at his little ancestor quietly.

He was only worried that Wen Baizhou was not used to the life of 2099, so how could he be willing to conflict with him in this regard?

"Many times, relationships involve many things. Parents, family... But in the final analysis, the most fundamental thing is the choice of the two parties involved." Wen Baizhou frowned, "You don't want anything now Think, just think..."

"My hand is already in yours, do you want to hold it?"

Lu Heng was shocked, and almost instinctively, he held Wen Baizhou's hand tightly. hand.

Those hands were slightly smaller than his, and whiter and more delicate than his. Holding it is like holding a piece of fine warm jade.

It has the power of warmth that can melt even solid ice.

But the next second, Travel hesitated and wanted to loosen his clenched hand.

Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and looked down, feeling the strength in his hands sometimes loosen and sometimes tighten, but in the end, Lu Heng couldn't let go of him.

Wen Baizhou couldn't help laughing.

The burden on Lu Heng was heavy. Wen Baizhou couldn't help but think, fortunately, I don't have such a heavy burden, so I can take a step forward.

He looked at Lu Heng with a bright smile, and held Lu Heng's hand with his backhand: "You have to remember, this is your choice alone, it is Lu Heng's choice. Now that you have made a choice, the rest A problem is a problem that two people have to face and solve together. Then -"

He said, but suddenly broke away from Lu Heng's hand: "Go downstairs and eat."

Lu Heng rarely showed his face. Some blank looks.

He couldn't adapt to the empty hands, and he didn't know what Wen Baizhou meant.

Wen Baizhou put his hands behind his back, raised his chin and smiled slyly: "I know Lu Heng's choice, but I don't know what the Lu team who belongs to Yicheng No. 01 Bunker will choose." "Wait until Lu Heng makes a

complete decision. Think it through and come to me again." He leaned down, got close to Lu Heng, and gave him a beautiful smile, "I will wait for Team Lu to take the initiative to hold my hand. But Captain Lu, you have to remember Okay."

"You don't have much time. When we return to Yicheng No. 01 Bunker, I won't need your answer."

After he finished speaking, he held Lu Heng's hand and walked out of the room and stood at the door. Easily free your hand.

The bedroom door closed softly.

Lu Heng stood at the door for a long time. When the sensor light in the corridor went out, he shook his head as if he had just woken up from a dream and laughed.

He looked down at his hands, knocked on the door again and said hello to Wen Baizhou, before walking downstairs.

Until I sat down on the single sofa in the living room, my heartbeat in my chest was still beating wildly uncontrollably.

He seemed to still be able to feel Wen Baizhou's hot and moist breath as he came closer, and he could also feel the warmth in his palm.

"Brother Heng?" Lian Sheng on the side asked thoughtfully, "What did you say upstairs?"

"Nothing." Lu Heng said subconsciously, "We were about to leave, so we just had a chat."

Wait until we set off , when he stepped out of this small villa and returned to 2099, his heart was beating wildly and he was about to enter the countdown -

whether to go with his heart or return to desolation, there was only this period of time.

But Zhouzhou had already walked towards him, Zhouzhou was so brave and determined.

He couldn't keep Zhouzhou waiting.

Lu Heng's thoughtful expression made the alarm sound in Liansheng's head, but Yu Xingye didn't notice it at all.

He wrapped a piece of roast duck and handed it to Lu Heng, saying loudly: "Isn't it still raining heavily in Zecheng? Why are you so anxious? Eat quickly, Ye Chi is like a starving ghost. If you don't go downstairs, he will continue to I won't even leave the duck rack for you."

Ye Chi said "ha" and immediately said: "The duck rack was fried until the bones were crispy. Yu Xingye, you spit out the bones, you wasteful devil." The two of

them were noisy. Eating the last roast duck, this uneventful night passed in a lively manner.

.........

The autumn sun is always gentler than summer. When it falls into the room through the glass, the people in the room have already gotten up and left the room.

The quilt on the bed was folded into the most standard tofu block, and even the sheets were smooth without a trace of wrinkles. The room was as clean as if no one was living in it.

Only a bright red maple leaf on the bedside showed a hint of vitality. It is inserted in a transparent plastic water bottle, and its branches and leaves are stretched out and bathed in the morning sunshine.

Lu Heng deliberately got up early, went to the first floor of the basement and went upstairs after exercising. He thought he would bump into Wen Baizhou who was still asleep just after coming downstairs, but he waited until everyone came downstairs and the little soldier arrived. After breakfast, Wen Baizhou was nowhere to be seen.

"Why hasn't the little ancestor come down yet?" Yu Xingye looked at him, "Brother Heng, go and ask people to get up for breakfast."

Lu Heng followed his good example, and as soon as he stood up, he heard the little soldier who was having breakfast say: "No need. Xiaowen left early this morning."

"Where to?" Lu Heng asked.

"I don't know, we don't ask these things." The little warrior said with a smile, "There must be something to do after all."

This guess is not wrong.

Wen Baizhou was picked up by Yan Feng early in the morning, and the place he went to was not a particularly confidential unit.

Yan Feng took him to an aerospace base early in the morning.

Although they went to both bases, their destinations were in two directions from the training base of the aerospace warriors.

The two entered the base in the morning light, then quietly entered a certain test building, and finally stopped in a certain test hall with a banner hanging.

This posture is really very similar to the way I went to watch the ignition of the first experimental reactor of controllable nuclear fusion.

Wen Baizhou looked at the monitors hanging on the white walls, then at the red banners on the walls on both sides, and finally focused his attention on the rows of researchers in front of him.

This time he didn't see any familiar old professors. The only one he was familiar with was Yan Feng beside him.

The hall was extremely quiet, except for the occasional keyboard sound, there was no other sound. Everyone was extremely quiet. When they needed to communicate, they would get closer to the person they were communicating with and speak in an extremely low voice.

Such an occasion made Wen Baizhou tense up involuntarily.

He came slightly closer to Yan Feng and asked quietly: "Uncle Yan, what are we here to see this time?"

"The big leader specially approved to bring you to see it." Yan Feng also whispered, "Don't be distracted, take a good look, you You will understand after reading it."

As he was speaking, the commander's voice suddenly came from the front row: "Attention all departments, countdown to prepare -"

On the big screen, the screen suddenly switched, and the camera was pointed The place looks like the ground or something else.

Following the commander's sonorous "fire", the screen shook violently, and amidst the shaking, a dazzling fire light ignited.

Wen Baizhou was stunned and saw something flying into the sky in the middle of the flames.

Is this...a rocket launch? ! Are you sending something to the space station at this time today?

Wen Baizhou was thinking when he heard the commander at the front say: "The optical radar tracking is normal -"

"The telemetry signal is normal."

The picture on the screen changed several times, and countless data lit up on both sides. There was a hum of communication in the hall, but the commander did not continue to speak.

Wen Baizhou waited in confusion and silence for a few minutes before Yan Feng quietly handed him an earphone.

Wen Baizhou quickly put on his earphones and heard another commander's voice coming from the earphones:

"The escape tower has separated."

"The booster has separated."

There was some familiar electronic interference in the voice, perhaps because of the launch station. There is still a certain amount of magnetic interference there.

"The satellite sailboard was deployed successfully."

"Satellite tracking is normal."

"Merge successful."

Wen Baizhou's attention was still in the earphones. The researchers in front had suddenly stood up. They cheered and looked at their colleagues around them, holding in their hands Applauded vigorously -

"Congratulations to all of you! Congratulations to all of you!"

"Join us! Lao Gu, you have made a great contribution this time!"

"Everyone's credit! Everyone's!"

The young researchers had already hugged each other. The group cheered and cheered, hugged each other and started crying.

Clearly not understanding what was being launched, Wen Baizhou's eyes turned red. He quickly took off his headphones and asked urgently: "Uncle Yan, what else did we get up here?"

Yan Feng restrained his excitement and said with a smile: "You know the 'Golden Cudgel', right?"

Wen Baizhou heard Yan Yi was surprised: "Ah! Has it been built?"

Isn't it...don't they still have a lot of technical hurdles that even Qingluan can't pass? How come it jumped over Qingluan and turned directly into the Golden Cudgel?

When Yan Feng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you thinking, kid? How can you be so fast!"

Even if 90% of the raw materials of the Golden Cudgel are produced by Longxia, they have indeed made the same products as the future ones. The same choice as a researcher - the early development information of the Golden Cudgel almost completely overlaps with the current information in the Special Equipment Research Institute - but creating a Golden Cudgel does not happen overnight.

"The big leader must let you come and see the command hall. It will definitely not be a golden cudgel." Yan Feng said, "If that thing is really built, you have to take the greatest credit and go to the scene." "

Then. What is it?" Wen Baizhou couldn't help but ask.

There are rockets, satellite tracking, and orbit integration...

new satellites launched? Or something that conducts deep space exploration?

Wen Baizhou had a series of guesses in his mind, but he felt that those things would not make the big leader think of him specifically.

Yan Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, and then sighed: "It's a low-Earth orbit gun. The shell has just been successfully loaded into the launch pad."

Wen Baizhou nodded calmly: "Oh."

Wen Baizhou replied silently Overwhelmed: "?!"

Wen Baizhou was shocked: "What!?"

"I, did I hear you right?!" His eyes flickered back and forth between the big screen in the command hall and Yan Feng, "Close, close Railgun?!"

Yan Feng nodded with a reserved smile: "How is it? Let's move quickly, right?"

Wen Baizhou blinked suddenly and heard Yan Feng continue: "A while ago you were busy with Zecheng's ground life I didn't tell you about the district's affairs."

He took Wen Baizhou a few steps forward, dragged two chairs from the cheering crowd, and pulled Wen Baizhou to sit down: "Our expert team has carefully studied the information on the space relay station. According to the information, According to analysis, even if we start planning to build a space relay station now, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years. But obviously, our fusion power station cannot wait that long."

When it came to business, Yan Feng's uncontrollable pride completely dissipated. .

Wen Baizhou looked at him and nodded involuntarily: "I went out to meet my friends two days ago, and my friend said that Ireba criticizes us every day." "

That's not true. The noise was getting louder, and Ireba couldn't sit still. ." Yan Feng smiled and sighed.

He raised his head and looked around, looking at the cheering young researchers around him, and then said: "Look, Zhouzhou, you worked so hard to get back all the information on controllable nuclear fusion, and our old academicians and experts are so... After working hard to conquer the material fortress inside, these young researchers and the builders worked hard to build the fusion station. We can't just show it there, can we?" "But

once it is lit and entered With regular use, Erreba will soon know that we have an 'artificial sun'." Wen Baizhou said.

"Yes. For bandits who are used to plundering, when they find that the distance is infinite and cannot be controlled in a short time, their plundering nature will take over." Yan Feng said, "So we decided to Before it is completely built, the low-Earth orbital gun must be laid first."

At this point, he smiled again: "This year, we have been sending things to space and expanding the space station. At the same time, we have banned Ereba from entering our country. The space station was conducting research, and they felt a sense of crisis, so they made a big fuss."

Wen Baizhou vaguely understood.

The space relay station is the highest level of secret research, and people in Ereba may not know this. But through Long Xia's frequent launches, they were able to know what Long Xia was doing on the space station.

Their fear comes when something goes into space but is not connected to the space station.

"Can the low-Earth orbit gun be intercepted?" Wen Baizhou asked worriedly.

"Vertical strike artillery fire cannot be intercepted." Yan Feng finished his answer with a smile and sighed, "But in fact, the real strike capability of this thing has certain limitations. We still have certain deficiencies in the use of energy. "

But then again, if energy can be used to carry out powerful vertical strikes, then it is not called a low-Earth orbit gun, but a space-based energy weapon.

"But it doesn't matter, Iriba doesn't know." Wen Baizhou blinked, "As long as it floats on the track, it is a deterrent."

Yan Feng patted Wen Baizhou's shoulder with appreciation: "You can understand That's good. This is the purpose of the low-Earth orbit gun."

It may not actually launch, nor may it really be powerful enough to completely destroy the enemy. But when it's in orbit, it's a powerful deterrent.

A deterrent that can send chills down the spine of all young people who are ready to take action and prevent them from sleeping peacefully.

As they were talking, the researchers came over with smiles on their faces. Yan Feng stood up, hugged each other and congratulated the researchers who came to celebrate, then pulled Wen Baizhou up and hugged everyone together.

As soon as he let go of his hand, a researcher happily ran into the command hall with a camera: "Come on, come on, let's take a photo together! This will be a precious historical material in the future!" "

Come! Come all!" The gray-haired Gu The professor looked around for a moment, and when he saw Yan Feng, he immediately said, "Old Yan, come here!"

Hearing this, Wen Baizhou quickly took a few steps back.

However, Yan Feng dragged him and strode forward. Pushing him to Professor Gu's side, he took a step back.

Wen Baizhou quickly followed and wanted to walk back, but Professor Gu caught him with a smile: "Xiao Wen, right? Just stand here with me. The one next to you is my beloved disciple. We know each other. If he has a chance in the future, You might still have the possibility of cooperation."

The middle-aged researcher beside him immediately stretched out his hand to shake Wen Baizhou's hand.

Wen Baizhou quickly reached out his hand, and just as he shook hands with the other person, before he spoke, he heard an old professor speak again: "Hey, Lao Gu, you are so cunning. You should seize the time to pave the way for your child, right? Where? There are people like you. Xiaowen, look here, this is what I have on hand, my close disciple. The next generation of radar leaders, we know each other -"

Yan Feng stood behind, patting one shoulder with one hand: "You two look at the camera , don't look at our gossip."

The young researchers all came over. They stood or squatted, just waiting for the researcher in charge of shooting to set up the camera, and then hurriedly ran into the crowd: "Yeah--!"

"Eggplant !"

After taking a group photo, Yan Feng led Wen Baizhou to formally introduce each other, and then took Wen Baizhou out again.

When he walked out of the experimental building, Yan Feng suddenly paused: "Zhouzhou, do you want to go and see the training?"

Wen Baizhou's eyes lit up: "Is that okay?"

Yan Feng laughed: "There's nothing wrong with it. It's rare. Here you go, go and see if you want."

At first, the selection of the whole army was carried out vigorously, but now they have been eliminated one after another, and the number of people who are still training in the aerospace base is already less than 5,000.

They have indeed implemented the core idea of ​​"selecting the best from the best" set at the beginning. After the last batch of students are trained, each of them has the possibility of competing for Captain Qingluan.

The two stood outside the training ground, looking at the students who were doing physical training. Yan Feng asked in a casual chat: "Zhouzhou, look at these students, who do you think is the most suitable to be the first captain of Qingluan if it is really built?"

Wen Baizhou looked at it seriously for a long time, and then He shook his head and said, "I don't know many training staff. If you ask me this way, I will definitely be biased."

After getting along with Qingluan day and night, emotionally, he definitely hopes that Xing Lin can get along with Qingluan again. See.

Even though they are in different time and space, he still hopes that the artificial intelligence can meet a captain who can make it trust it completely.

But this is unfair to other training staff.

Yan Feng nodded after hearing this and said: "It's a good thing that you are so cautious."

Wen Baizhou also laughed and said slyly: "He was good enough in the beginning to meet Qingluan. If he is now He was not good enough and was robbed of opportunities by others. That was also his problem. Anyway, Qingluan's captain must be the best among that group of personnel."

Yan Feng looked at Wen Baizhou and smiled: "Anyways Let's talk about it, Qingluan deserves it."

Wen Baizhou couldn't help but nodded with laughter.

Yan Feng suppressed his smile and looked at Wen Baizhou. The young man's eyes were as clear as water and his smile was so clean that he could see through it in the blink of an eye.

After a while, he sighed: "You're not afraid now, are you?"

Wen Baizhou: "Huh?" "

Zhouzhou, our low-Earth orbital gun is in the sky. The aerospace warriors are also selecting the best from the best. We only want the best. That one."

Yan Feng said solemnly: "We are ahead of time."

☆ 158. Chapter 157 [Two in One]

Chapter 157 [Two in One]

When they first learned about the future from Lu Heng, all of them were shocked and...

scared.

Because the time when the world was destroyed was too close.

Only thirty years.

In the past thirty years, if there were no accidents, many of them might have died. But those who are still alive are old, weak, and weak. They can only watch the people they protect being displaced and the country they protect destroyed by the war.

Watching a civilization that has lasted for thousands of years be destroyed in one fell swoop under the most powerful weapon ever produced by mankind.

There are only thirty years until such an ending.

What can they do in thirty years?

Breakthroughs in science and technology require trial and error by generations of researchers.

The birth of new weapons is also based on the efforts of generations of people.

In only thirty years, can they completely suppress Eriba through force?

Can new equipment be developed that can protect everyone?

No one has an answer.

The first group of experts summoned were the pioneers, successors, and bearers of the Longxia Nuclear Project, and they were the pinnacle of the Longxia Nuclear Project.

After everyone knew these things, although they felt uncontrollably panicked, they were even more tenacious and unyielding in guarding them.

At worst, this life will take two seconds from now on. If you sleep two hours less every day and devote more time to research, even if you have a bloody head, you can eliminate several wrong paths for future generations.

They still have thirty years, so hurry up and it's still too late!

"At that time, if you said you weren't panicking, you would be lying." Yan Feng looked at Wen Baizhou and showed a complicated smile, "If you let me go on my own, I will never look back. But I only have thirty years... By then my daughter will be about the same age as I am now."

"She has decided to have a baby this year. Then my grandson may also have a baby by then. My great-grandson will die before he grows up. I just think about it, I felt a little panicked."

Yan Feng sighed and smiled: "At that time, I felt tense in my heart. I couldn't tell who I hated, but I wanted to die with the other person. But such emotions are not advisable. Especially us, let alone Indulge yourself in your irrationality."

Several whistles sounded on the training ground, and Yan Feng saw the students who were still in physical training gathering quickly. The exoskeletons they wore followed their movements and automatically deformed.

The exoskeleton currently in use is connected to the students' personal assistance AI and is the latest achievement of the Special Industrial Research and Development Institute. They already have the prototype of automatic armor in future warfare.

Yan Feng withdrew his gaze. He looked at Wen Baizhou and said with emotion: "Once we let irrationality take over, the first to suffer are the ones we want to protect the most. We can panic for a moment, but we must not be afraid of fighting."

His heavy attitude made Wen Baizhou couldn't help but nodded.

He could probably understand how much pressure Yan Feng was under at that time, because he had been tense during that time.

The thirty-year countdown was like a life-threatening bomb, reminding him all the time that if he made a mistake, the bomb would explode.

"But now, are you not afraid?"

Yan Feng stretched out his hand and patted Wen Baizhou on the shoulder: "Look at these people in front of you, and then think about the sharp sword that belongs to us hanging above our heads. Now, Are you still afraid?"

Wen Baizhou thought for a while and said seriously: "To be honest, since I got back the controllable nuclear fusion miniaturization data, I am not afraid anymore."

He laughed as he said it, his expression was completely relaxed : "Uncle Yan, you know me. I don't know much about science. My understanding of weapons and the like was also because my sister joined the army, so I took the time to read some military magazines and the like. At that time, I could understand It was very shallow, but after getting the miniaturization information, I knew that we could have a nuclear-powered weapon in the true sense."

Using controllable nuclear fusion as power. Their aircraft carriers can sail thousands of miles without worrying about kinetic energy, and their bombers can continue to soar in the blue sky without fear of the enemy's wheel battles.

With enough kinetic energy, you will have the ability and confidence to continue to challenge.

"I never thought there was anything you couldn't do." Wen Baizhou raised his head and looked at the blue sky, "Even now, I feel that as long as we bring the information back, everything will be fine. So I'm not afraid from a long time ago." From

a long time ago, the "only thirty years" that was swirling in his mind turned into "there are still thirty years."

He got back so much information, and they still have thirty years. What can't be done after such a long time?

Longxia's experts and professors will definitely be able to research everything the country needs. And their warriors will definitely be able to protect their old friends across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

They have the courage and spirit to sacrifice everything for this country.

It never occurred to him that they wouldn't be able to do it.

Yan Feng listened and couldn't help but smile heartily: "You think better than me. Aren't you afraid that the news will be leaked and the other party will take action in advance?" "

Afraid, but I think if the news is really leaked, what they will do is definitely not Launch an all-out war. That will not be good for them." Wen Baizhou said honestly, "They may send people to steal information, assassinate our experts all over the world, and they may kill me." He

said that he might Even if he was killed, his expression would not change.

"If it's not a nuclear war, there's nothing to be afraid of. You are not vegetarians." Wen Baizhou said, "You will not let this happen if you come to our country to assassinate our people."

Yan Feng laughed and shook his head. He patted Wen Baizhou on the shoulder and agreed: "This kind of thing is really impossible to happen."

The students on the training ground lined up and ran away to other places.

The playground was empty, so the two of them walked back while chatting.

Passing by a group of young soldiers who happened to be finishing class, Yan Feng suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, do you know how many friends Xing Lin has who are keeping peace on the front line?"

Long Xia's overseas peacekeeping missions usually last from December to 18 months. One period is one month. After completing the mission, you will return home and hand over the mission with the second phase of peacekeeping team members.

Long Xia sent them overseas to limit the war, but also to help civilians who suffered in the war. The ultimate goal is to create conditions for political resolution of conflicts.

Xing Lin walked out of the military academy, and many of his classmates and teammates had been selected into the peacekeeping force and went to the front line to maintain peace.

The latest batch happened to set off half a year ago.

The country they arrived in was a small tropical Gulf country. The local climate is hot and there are thick rainforests. At the same time, it is not known which party is colluding with the pirates. There is fierce fighting on land and there is no peace at sea.

Inside and out, the country is almost sealed off.

Xing Lin's friend's name is Li He. He was the squadron leader of the peacekeeping team that set out half a year ago.

Before departure, they were specially approved to bring a batch of new exoskeletons and portable intelligent walking aids.

There were bursts of gunfire in the rain forest, and a group of peacekeepers wearing camouflage and blue helmets were carefully lurking.

"Team Li, we can't continue like this." The voice of the observer from the front came from the earphones. "One kilometer away from us at three o'clock is a village. From observation, there are not many people, only a dozen households, but it is basically covered by the fighting fire. It's hard to tell. Is there anyone alive inside?"

"The help signal we received is indeed here." Li He said calmly, "Communicate with them first. We only rescue people and do not interfere in their local affairs. If communication cannot be done, send a mechanical dog Go talk to them."

There are dogs everywhere in the rainforest, on the trees, under the leaves, and even under fire.

Their bodies look very strong, and their eyes are indeed scarlet, which is a symbol of entering attack mode.

A German Shepherd-like mechanical dog carefully sneaked into the village amid the fire. Its superior olfactory system could help it smell human scent in the artillery fire, and even help them distinguish whether these people were carrying artillery fire.

It lay down in front of a house made of wood, rags and iron sheets, sniffed for a while, then stood up and walked to another house.

Before it reached the door, a strong smell of blood rushed into its nostrils.

"Woof!" The voice of the German shepherd dog reached the observer's ears, "There are survivors, and they are losing a lot of blood!" It took two more steps: "Under analysis." As soon as it finished speaking,

it saw a The stray bullet fell and happened to land near the German Shepherd dog.

The explosion sounded immediately, and the fire that shot into the sky overturned the dog and the nearby dilapidated wooden house, and the shock wave went straight towards the observers.

The observer turned upside down on the tree and walked around to the back of the tree. The dog beside him suddenly stood up and unfolded the protective board.

"No. 1, are you okay? No. 1?"

Li He kept calling: "No. 1, No. 1, please answer if you hear it. No. 1!"

There was a roar in the observer's ears, and his head felt dizzy. The sharp sound in his ears made it difficult for him to hear Li He's words clearly. He could only cover his head and tap the earphones with his fingertips.

After a while, he heard himself say: "I'm fine, but Captain Li, your dog is gone. The shot just happened to fall next to it."

Li He frowned: "You withdraw now. Let the mechanical dogs Go over there!"

The two opposing parties here usually give the peacekeepers face, but many times they don't give that much face when fighting. Most of the time, both parties have a mentality of "If you can't help me, then you will die." It's hard to tell if the stray bullet is really just a stray bullet, or if it's some kind of decline that dares not reveal the paint.

After receiving the signal, the mechanical dogs dispersed in the rainforest.

Not long after, the firepower covering the stockade stopped. At the same time, Li He received feedback from both parties.

"They agreed to a ceasefire for half an hour! Speed ​​up!"

There didn't seem to be many people in the dozen or so houses, but the wave of stray bullets that had just passed by might have injured the survivors hiding in the wooden houses.

Not to mention that the wooden houses here are very simple, and the survivors may even be crushed under the house under the powerful shock wave.

During this half hour, they had to excavate the rubble first, conduct basic rescue operations, and then move the people safely. Time is already very tight.

Listening to the sound in his ears, the observer took the lead and said, "I'll go over and take a look first. I'm closer than you."

While calling for survivors in the local language, he walked into the village with his mechanical dog.

When we walked to the simple wooden house where the German shepherd dog had sent out the signal before, we found that the wooden house was half collapsed. The observer took a moment to lift the rag. What caught the eye was only two corpses.

The two people pressed by the wood were extremely thin. The thighs may not be as thick as the observer's arms. Perhaps they were still alive when the German Shepherd dogs first came to investigate. But now, both of them were dead.

The observers have seen enough of this tragic situation in the six months they have been on duty here. He sighed inwardly, put down the rag, and was about to go to the second home when the dog next to him suddenly made a "wow" sound.

The observer paused and said, "Is there anyone there?"

"Woof!" the dog said, "There is a child alive!"

Upon hearing this, the observer quickly returned to the broken wooden house.

This wooden house is so narrow that you can almost see the end of it. There were a few broken wooden boards piled around the collapsed bed, and there was solid ground underneath the templates, making it impossible to hide anything.

The observer hunched over and thought for a moment. He stretched out his hand and carefully moved away the two stacked corpses. He saw that under the corpse below, a hole had been dug out in the wet black earth.

The pit is not big, just big enough for a baby.

The little baby was wrapped in a quilt. When he saw the observer, he waved his little hands and showed a little smile. He was firmly protected on the ground by the corpses of his parents and did not receive the slightest impact.

The observer's heart was clenched. He bent down and picked up the child, and said in a loud voice: "There is a baby! I don't know how old it is! Can the hospital ship come?"

"The hospital ship is on its way, and there are pirates blocking the sea area on the way. . The Zecheng is rushing to the hospital ship to escort the hospital ship." Li He said, "Bring the child back first, we are about to arrive." "

Okay!"

The observer held the child and exited the half-collapsed wooden house step by step. Just as he turned around, he heard another voice: "Is it... a Longxia soldier?"

The man spoke Longxia language, but he didn't know where he was.

The observer looked around with vigilance: "Who is it?!"

"I am a writer here to collect materials." The man carefully walked out of a wooden house not far away. He raised his hands and said tremblingly, " I was hiding behind that tree just now."

He was talking about an ancient tree not far away.

The ancient trees have deep roots and trunks as wide as several adults. A stray bullet had just exploded, and the exploding shrapnel left fresh scars on the trunk of the ancient tree, but the shock wave did not impact the ancient tree.

The observer glanced at it and said immediately: "You stand there talking, don't come over!"

"Aren't you here to save us?" The man said, while cautiously approaching the observer, "Take me away, please Please. You can even save foreign babies, can't you save me?"

His eyes were filled with tears, and he was almost crying: "We are compatriots!"

The observer looked at his little eyes and his body camera bag: "Just wait, our people will be here in a moment, and we will definitely save those who need to be saved."

He said, and took a step back with the baby.

"On the tree! Behind the tree, they are all hiding behind the tree!" The man added, "There are always rebels coming to this area, and their survivors here dug a hole behind the tree. When the fighting started, they went in. Hide, that hole was dug in a hurry and is very small. There are only a few people."

"Then how do you know?" His

little eyes widened a little, but then he immediately said: "I, I am a foreigner and an honored guest. . They asked me to hide in."

"Didi, the entry and exit information has been downloaded."

The observer listened to the sound in the earphones and knew that his portable smart assistant had connected to a nearby network.

"Do you speak the local language?" the observer asked.

"No, no." The man said, reaching into his pocket, "Yes, it relies on a translator. You know the translator, right? There has been a big innovation this year and it can translate more than fifty languages. "

He said while trying to take his hands out of his pockets.

"Don't move!" the observer yelled, "That's it, don't move, keep your hands in your pockets!"

Li He's voice came from the earphones: "We'll talk right away."

The portable smart assistant also issued an alarm: "After comparing the facial information, this person was born in Ereba and is an enemy mercenary."

At the same time, the woods behind him made a rustling sound.

His little eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be half covered with tears: "What are you doubting? Are you doubting me? I just want you to save me!" He seemed to be

stimulated, and he pulled out his arm regardless. , ripped off his camera bag and threw it hard behind the observer!

"Woof-"

The puppy next to the observer jumped hard, kicked the camera bag accurately with its hind legs, and knocked it back hard towards the man!

"Chasing the Wind! Come up!"

As soon as the observer finished speaking, the camera bag suddenly exploded in mid-air -

"Boom!!!"

The sound of bombing at close range caused blood to flow from the observer's ears, and the child in his arms burst into tears. got up.

Li He led the people into the stockade where the smoke had not yet settled, leaving only one medical worker standing by the observer.

But the medical staff did not come close. They only stayed one meter away from the observer and kept making gestures to the observer.

The observer's eyes went dark and he could not hear anything in his ears. It wasn't until a minute later that the objects floating in front of him gradually dispersed, and the medical staff cautiously approached the observer.

"Do you know who I am?"

The observer looked at him with a defensive expression.

Upon seeing this, the medical staff immediately took a few steps back and exited within one meter.

After a few more minutes, he tentatively moved forward again: "Can you hear me?"

The observer squinted his eyes. It took him a long time to react and raised his hand to make a gesture. The medical doctor immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over and led the observer back. He walked to a tree and let him sit down against the tree: "What's the matter with you? Are you going to evacuate if I ask you to?"

the observer revealed. He smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped the intercom in his ear, and said, "I can't hear you."

The medic rolled his eyes at him, took out the medical supplies from his tactical bag, carefully wiped the blood outside his ears, and checked his ear canal.

The observer tapped the portable smart assistant again.

The medical staff heard the voice of the smart assistant: "How is that person? Is he still alive?"

The medical staff raised his eyes and said, "Who knows."

Not far away, Li He was leading someone to check on the mercenary.

He nimbly dodged the explosion, but he was too close to the center of the explosion and was seriously injured.

When he saw the person, he couldn't believe it: "How did you know that I am not from Longxia?"

Li He snorted and did not answer the question.

No matter whether it was Long Xia's entry and exit or the country's landing customs, there was no facial information of the person in front of him. Those who reach the war zone by illegal means are enemies rather than friends.

"Have you taken back the information you want to obtain?" Li He patted his face contemptuously, "We already have the plasma shield, what else can you do?"

The man gritted his teeth and looked at Li He: " One day, we Areba..."

"You Areba?"

Li He stood up and looked at him condescendingly, as if looking at a bug: "Eriba has never stood with you."

He said He waved his hand: "Take him away, don't let him die."

☆ 159. Chapter 158 [Two in One]

Chapter 158 [Two-in-one]

"At 6:13 this morning, the new low-Earth orbit gun developed by our country was successfully launched from a certain launch site and parked in the predetermined orbit. The launch mission was a complete success. The launch of the low-Earth orbit gun The success also marks that China's aerospace industry has entered a new chapter..." "

According to earlier reports from the national media of Ireba, their war reporters discovered on the peacekeeping front line that our country's peacekeeping teams have been equipped with a new type of weapon. According to Ireba's national media reports, According to the military claims revealed by Riba national media, Ariba believes that this is a newly developed plasma shield developed by our country. Professor Zhao, what do you think of this news?" Professor Zhao

invited by the program team is a middle-aged man, given His title is a teacher at a military academy.

He sat behind a long desk, listened to the host's words, nodded with a smile and said: "Hello host, hello everyone. First of all, we have to understand a basic concept, which is the conservation of energy. How much energy is emitted, we must prepare How much, right? As far as the picture released by Erriba is concerned, the effect it shows cannot be achieved. As for why it cannot be achieved, let me give you a detailed analysis..." "

Rory, right? Damn it, Hoshino, please turn the channel back to me." Ye Chi said, "Watch the low-Earth orbit gun first!"

"What are you looking at, the low-Earth orbit gun? You haven't watched the evening news too much and you don't know. That sentence is already there. I've finished playing it for you." Yu Xingye waved his hand to prevent Ye Chi from grabbing the remote control, "What's so nice about one sentence? Watch Plasma Shield. This is an analysis program that you can watch carefully. This is a new thing!"

" I have been talking nonsense for a long time. Who wants to listen to this kind of analysis? Bring me the remote control!"

The two of them were busy fighting for the remote control. Lu Heng on the side had already taken out his mobile phone and started searching for keywords on the APP.

Plasma Shield seems to have caused quite a stir on the internet. As soon as he pressed the search button, countless analytical information with decent-looking titles popped up.

Lu Heng really wanted to take a closer look, but there was a sound of opening the door.

Wen Baizhou, who went out early this morning, finally came back.

Lu Heng put down his phone almost instinctively, stood up and walked to the door.

Wen Baizhou was changing his shoes at the entrance, and when he saw him coming over, he smiled: "Why didn't you watch the news?"

"Xingye and Ye Chi were watching." Lu Heng said, looking at him carefully, "Go today What have you done? You look a little tired."

Wen Baizhou's beautiful eyes were slightly blue, and there was a hint of tiredness between his eyebrows. It must have been a busy day without much rest.

Lu Heng had always seen such a tired look before when he was in Yicheng No. 01 Bunker. Although he was a little distressed at that time and would let Wen Baizhou go back to rest without any trace, but at the same time he felt that if Wen Baizhou wanted to walk in 2099, he would have to get used to this kind of fatigue.

But now in the small villa, this distress seems to be magnified exponentially. The tiny waves of pain tugged at his heart, causing him to frown involuntarily.

"I went to the training base with Uncle Yan." Wen Baizhou answered casually. When he raised his head and met his eyes, all the words he had just organized suddenly disappeared.

He stared blankly into Lu Heng's eyes.

He remembered many of Lu Heng's eyes, most of which were reserved and repressed. All emotions were firmly locked under the ice peaks, and others could only glimpse the ripples caused by the surge of emotions.

But now, the eternal ice seems to have cracked, and the emotions hidden underneath are roaring to the point of breaking apart.

Wen Baizhou was inexplicably panicked, and his heart started to beat unconsciously. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of "The low-Earth orbit gun was launched successfully" coming from the living room.

Wen Baizhou suddenly came back to his senses, and he said in a panic: "It was actually reported publicly? I came to see this in the morning."

"Xiao Wen!"

Ye Chi heard what he said, jumped up and shouted: "Let's talk about it in detail , let's talk about it in detail!"

"Oh, okay!" Wen Baizhou responded in a panic, "Right away!"

The news has been reported, and it is no longer something that needs to be kept secret. Wen Baizhou ran to the refrigerator to get a bottle of ice water, and then followed Lu Heng to the living room.

When he walked to the living room, he was about to sit down on the couch when Lu Heng suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist and led him to the single sofa.

Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Heng's hand, then raised his eyes to look at Lu Heng's silent back. He snickered in his heart and sat down on the single sofa with a calm look on his face. As expected, Lu Heng sat down on the armrest of the sofa the next moment.

Lian Sheng's forehead was beating when he saw it, and Ye Chi couldn't wait to ask: "Does this low-Earth orbit gun have data? Attack method? Target target? Coverage? You can tell all of this, right?" "

I'll go take command in the morning . The center watched this launch, don't worry, I will tell you everything I can tell you."

Wen Baizhou held the water bottle and told Ye Chi slowly. Yu Xingye stopped watching military programs. He moved his wheelchair to the side of the single sofa and listened too.

After Wen Baizhou finished speaking, the others nodded in understanding and asked blankly: "Since it is the latest weapon, why is it reported now?"

Wen Baizhou was also a little confused. He originally thought that this thing would have to wait for them at least next year. Only after the controllable nuclear fusion power plant ignites will it be exposed. Unexpectedly, I only watched the launch in the morning, and the news was already made public in the evening.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment. He took out his mobile phone and switched to the search page for "Plasma Shield". While showing it to Wen Baizhou, he said, "It's a smoke bomb."

Most of the searches on his mobile phone were news. The pictures that have been broadcast, and some Baijiahao titles are serious, and the content does not involve any analysis.

When you click on the social platform, everyone is screaming with excitement or screaming in confusion. Not much information is available.

Wen Baizhou changed the APP and started searching in Erba language, and heard Yu Xingye asking from the side: "What smoke bomb?"

"Soldiers are also deceitful. So they can show their inability to use it, and use it to show them that they don't use it... ..." Lu Heng said, "The ability of the plasma shield will compensate for the shortcomings of the low-Earth orbit gun's firepower. It can make the enemy believe that the low-Earth orbit gun is a space-based kinetic energy weapon."

Yu Xingye was still at a loss, and Wen Baizhou had quickly found a video shown by Airiba Media. According to their official account, this video came from their war reporters. But Wen Baizhou knew at a glance that this was what Yan Feng told him.

Several people came over to watch the video, and Wen Baizhou simply cast it on the TV.

In the rainforest, as the smoke from the artillery fire was about to dissipate, a soldier wearing a blue helmet and camouflage was holding a baby in his arms. Zheng Zhengzheng angrily yelled at the people on the opposite side not to move, and there was a group of soldiers beside him. A mechanical dog that looks like a Dalmatian.

Not long after, the person on the other side recognized something that looked like a camera bag. The Dalmatian jumped up and kicked it back to where it was before the camera bag exploded in mid-air.

In the firelight, through the lens, people could clearly see that something was inspired by the blue helmet and camouflage warrior's wristband.

It was like a circular shield, enveloping the warrior in blue helmet and camouflage together with the Dalmatian dog beside him. The exploding shrapnel flew towards it, but suddenly turned around when it got close to the shield. The young soldier in blue helmet and camouflage stood there, firmly covering the ears of the baby in his arms.

He was not afraid of the explosion in front of him, but he was only worried that the loud sound of the explosion would damage the child's fragile hearing.

At the end of the video, there is blood flowing from his ears.

The short video played quickly, and everyone in the living room was silent. After a while, Yu Xingye said, "Watch it again."

They played the video several times. At first, their attention was on the person, but then they moved away from the circular shield.

"I can't figure it out..." Yu Xingye smacked his lips, "How did you do it?"

"I can't figure it out either." Ye Chi said, "That young man seemed to have deliberately not evacuated. Why?"

The video repeated over and over again. After playing it so many times, the more Ye Chi watched it, the more he felt that the young soldier in the blue helmet and camouflage had many opportunities to evacuate. As long as he lets go of the mechanical dog, he can conquer the enemy on the opposite side without any damage.

But he didn't do that. Why not evacuate?

Wen Baizhou also had this question when he was listening to the story, but now he understood it all: "It's just to let Ariba get this video."

As he said, he looked up at Lu Heng beside him: "Steal it by any means None of the information is as trustworthy as seeing it with your own eyes on the battlefield."

Information can be forged. Only weapons that have been personally suffered on the front line cannot be forged.

Lu Heng nodded in agreement and said with a low smile: "Any technology that can be used on the most cutting-edge battlefield is the most mature technology. Now that the mature plasma shield has been used on the front line, the subsequent low-Earth orbital gun will have The ability and the harm it can cause must have a completely new assessment."

"And we should not have recognized the plasma shield..."

Wen Baizhou thought about it, and then added: "We don't admit it, no According to the official caliber, Ariba cannot get the actual object, so it can only guess and analyze based on the video. But the low-Earth orbit gun is different. There are so many satellites in the sky from various countries, and this is something that cannot be concealed. We readily admit that the truth is false and true Whether it's true or not, I'll leave it up to Ariba to guess."

Lu Heng nodded with a smile.

Wen Baizhou couldn't help but think of what Yan Feng said to him before leaving a certain aerospace base.

Yan Feng said: "We have no way to destroy Eriba's nuclear weapons. However, we only need to make Eriba believe that within a few dozen minutes of his nuclear weapons taking off and flying over, we have the ability to strike at his home continent first. , this is enough."

A comprehensive and solid defense is never about how well the protective shield is made. But let the enemy know that as long as you dare to stretch out your hand, I can cut off your entire body.

Only by holding the most powerful butcher's knife can we achieve the most stable peace.

This is the path Long Xia officially chose from the moment the door to 2099 opened.

.........

Plasma shields and low-Earth orbit guns made the visitors of 2099 particularly excited.

They gathered in the living room and browsed countless news and domestic and foreign social media. After studying it with great excitement all night, they finally chose to go upstairs to sleep when their energy bottomed out.

Lian Sheng took Yu Xingye, who had already begun to doze off, to the third floor first, and Ye Chi also carried Gui Yao back to the second floor while yawning.

When Lian Sheng came down from the third floor, he happened to see Lu Heng walk into Wen Baizhou's room and close the door.

His spirit, which had finally calmed down, suddenly became tense again. He walked to Wen Baizhou's door. After a while, he turned around and returned to his room.

Wen Baizhou, who was in the room, was completely unaware. He just looked at Lu Heng who came uninvited, tilted his head and asked him, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"A little tired, but..." He fell silent, his eyes always resting on Wen Baizhou, refusing to move. Every cent.

Wen Baizhou could understand, but he insisted on asking: "What?"

Lu Heng's whole body tensed up, and even his lips pursed into a thin line.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to take a shower." Wen Baizhou took out a change of clothes from the closet, "I'm going to bed after I take a shower, and there won't be any sex talk then."

Lu Heng's throat rolled. Then, he suddenly looked away, looked at the ground and whispered: "...I haven't seen you for a day."

Even when the window paper was not broken, Wen Baizhou was always busy when he came back to the small villa.

He was busy meeting old professors and taking private lessons from experts. He will transfer the data collected in 2099 to relevant research groups, and also share his experiences in 2099 with everyone.

He is very busy and is not at home every day.

Lu Heng was already used to Wen Baizhou being so busy.

But...when Wen Baizhou put his hand into his and asked him if he wanted to hold it, everything seemed to have changed.

The separation that was originally bearable became unbearable, and every second when I couldn't see him seemed to be stretched indefinitely. Whether it's watching the news or reading a book, spending time alone has become extremely difficult.

Wen Baizhou laughed out loud.

He put down his change of clothes and walked up to Lu Heng in a few steps: "Your expression is too euphemistic. I'm afraid that I will interpret it wrong. And - you don't even look at me."

He said confidently: "I can't see your eyes. , I don't know the emotion you want to express."

Lu Heng raised his eyes after hearing this, and met a pair of smiling eyes.

He clearly understands, but he pretends not to understand. Seeing Lu Heng take the bait, he laughed slyly.

Lu Heng looked into his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Do you understand now?"

"That's almost it." Wen Baizhou nodded vigorously, "Then, is it Lu Heng or Team Lu who is reluctant to part with me?" "

Both. Yes."

Lu Heng said softly.

After he finished speaking, he fell silent again. After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "I can't keep you waiting for too long, but I also feel that before giving an answer, I first need to tell you who I am. "I am a person."

Wen Baizhou pulled him to sit down: "I am very patient, you can speak slowly."

The hand in the palm of his hand was soft and warm.

But if you rub it carefully, you will find that this soft hand is covered with thin calluses. The calluses on my fingers are left over from years of writing. The cocoon in the palm of my hand was left behind after holding the gun.

There is still a white scar on the palm of the hand. Although it has faded a lot, it still runs across the entire palm.

Lu Heng squeezed Wen Baizhou's hand with some distress.

He held that hand and thought for a while before speaking: "I grew up in a bunker, you all know this. After I was fifteen years old, I went to the transportation team. The transportation team at that time was not as easy as it is now. We To undertake all ground tasks, in addition to transportation, we also need to explore ruins, capture, exterminate and expel mutant animals, and of course, there are people. At that time, there were many more people on the ground than now, and the composition was more complex. When they gathered When there is harm, we have to be responsible for eradicating it."

That is not an easy job, nor is it a scene suitable for children to face.

But now that you have joined the transportation team, you should not avoid all work.

"When it comes to exploring ruins, because I was still young at that time, many collapsed places were inaccessible to adults, but I could go in. So I was the one exploring the way in front."

He said it in an understatement, but Wen Baizhou couldn't help but frown. He frowned: "This is not reasonable at all!"

"Yes, it is not reasonable." Lu Heng said calmly, "But if there is a warehouse under the ruins, then all unreasonableness must give in. The former bunker was a Things are more valuable than people. We try our best to protect our compatriots, and we also try our best to get more resources."

Wen Baizhou fell silent.

"But after I grew up, the bunker also expanded a special planting area, and the No. 13 bunker also worked hard to produce plants that can be harvested twice a day. The demand for food has been greatly alleviated. Our work has just entered a new era. rhythm."

Lu Heng paused as he spoke. He was silent for a long time this time. He spoke after almost five or six seconds: "I'm not telling you this to make you sad."

Wen Baizhou nodded muffledly: "I know. . You just want to say that after you have done such a job and taken on these responsibilities, you will not give up."

Lu Heng looked at him in surprise, and then his eyes softened and he showed a very gentle smile.

He lowered his head and squeezed Wen Baizhou's hand, smiled and nodded: "Yes. The bunker is very short of people, even though all aspects of supplies have been greatly improved with your help. But there are always people for these jobs. If you do it, someone will have to explore the corresponding changes."

After the bunker can easily feed everyone in the bunker, what will they do next?

Obviously, the bunker needs to be expanded, and the supply points along the route must also ensure supply. Until all survivors are fed.

What next?

They hold a large amount of land glue in their hands and have an unshakable mountain like 2025 at their back. Can they be satisfied with just having enough food and clothing?

Yang Qi is not such a short-sighted person. Teacher Qi Mudongqi, who is about to take over, is not such a person either.

Their eyes are at the end of the sky, in the longer time. Now that there is an opportunity to lay a better foundation for the future, why not do it?

They will choose to move towards a better future, and as a result, they will shoulder heavier weights and more difficult responsibilities.

As children they raised, and as part of the bunker.

Lu Heng has unshirkable responsibility.

"I won't throw away everything in the bunker, but Zhouzhou... you also have your dreams. I can't let you be trapped in 2099." Lu Heng looked at Wen Baizhou, "The door... is defective."

" I know." Wen Baizhou said softly.

When everyone in Yicheng No. 01 Bunker returns to the bunker, the next time he opens the door, the scene he faces may be completely different.

"But Brother Heng, have you ever thought that this door is becoming easier to control." Wen Baizhou said with a smile, "The last time we experimented with skipping dangerous sections, didn't the scenery outside change rapidly?"

He said, looking up at the window of the room.

Looking down from the second floor window, you can still see the shadow of some small gardens.

Ms. Song personally designed the small garden for him, and some afterimages remain on the second floor like slices. At this time, the flowers and leaves competed to leave shadows swaying in the wind on the glass. They make the lonely glass lively.

Lu Heng looked over and saw a lively scene of shadows of trees and flowers intertwining.

"Let's make some positive assumptions, assuming that one day I can control that door."

Wen Baizhou was talking when his palm was pinched by Lu Heng again.

When Lu Heng saw him looking at him, he shook his head: "We can't put our hope in 'possibility'."

Wen Baizhou tilted his head. He looked at Lu Heng carefully: "Then you have to refuse because of this difficulty. Me?"

Lu Heng shook his head again, and the words rolled in his chest and throat several times before he said, "Both Lu Heng and Team Lu are reluctant to refuse you."

He stared at the two people with red ears . After shaking hands, he said in a deep voice: "What I originally thought was that after returning to the bunker, I would ask the old man to set aside a special place for you to open the door. While Hoshino is recovering, you and I can go to work with peace of mind. Wait. Hoshino is completely healthy and has returned to the bunker. I live here."

He raised his eyes while speaking and looked at Wen Baizhou seriously: "If I have a job, you can follow me back to the bunker. In this way, we can ensure that every day Once the door is opened, they will not be separated. But... I thought about it for a long time. I found that this plan cannot guarantee your safety."

Wen Baizhou looked at him quietly.

Just listen to Lu Heng continue: "I can guarantee that the people around me will not change their original intentions now, and I can also guarantee that the bunker will always be safe under the leadership of the old man. But I cannot guarantee what the future will be like. Zhouzhou, you are too giving in. The temptation is irresistible."

If the door lost its randomness, it would always open in the same place. That means...

people who know the location have the ability to hunt Wen Baizhou.

Whenever he thought about this matter, Lu Heng felt a fierce anger in his heart.

This anger burned him with resentment. Resentment and one's own strength, resentment and the fickleness of human hearts.

Wen Baizhou nodded when he heard the words. He looked at Lu Heng without blinking, just waiting for him to continue speaking.

Lu Heng held his hand tightly and said after a long time: "I am too greedy. There is no way to solve this problem, but I want to keep you. So I thought again, I will tell the old man that we are outside Find a place to live alone. Only let trusted people act as messengers to inform you about work." "

But... there are hidden dangers." Wen Baizhou said softly.

Lu Heng nodded.

Trust today, you can face such a big temptation. How do you know that things won't change tomorrow?

He held Wen Baizhou's hand tighter and tighter, as if he couldn't find the most appropriate way to solve this unspeakable problem after much thought.

Wen Baizhou lowered his head and smiled.

He also followed Lu Heng's example and reached out to squeeze his palm.

Lu Heng's palms were hard and covered with thick calluses. It doesn't feel good when pinched.

But he pinched it once, and then pinched it several times.

Lu Heng spread his hands and let him move.

After a while, Wen Baizhou had squeezed enough, and then he said with a smile: "Then let's change the angle."

He looked at Lu Heng and asked easily: "Brother Heng, are you willing to wait for me?"

☆ 160. Chapter 159 [Two in One]

Chapter 159 [Two in One]

The light in the room is soft and bright.

It's like the brilliance in the eyes of your sweetheart.

Lu Heng said without hesitation, "I do."

He answered without thinking, but Wen Baizhou was stunned for a moment: "I haven't said yet...how do I want you to wait for me."

"Once we get back on track, we will be separated. possible." Lu Heng said warmly and tactfully.

He didn't want to tell the reason for the separation too directly. He seemed to be afraid that if he spoke directly, the ice in his heart would completely collapse.

But Wen Baizhou was different. He was never afraid to show his emotions, nor was he afraid to express his feelings.

He looked at Lu Heng and said directly: "When the door closes and opens again, maybe I will be somewhere else. There are more than two hundred countries on Blue Star... Well, let's stay in Longxia. I don't want to go anywhere else. . We have more than 3,000 counties. If every time we open the door, there is another place outside. If we all go through it again, it will take 9,000 days to see you again..."

Lu Heng attracted his eyes and still said: "I'll wait. You."

Rather than letting Wen Baizhou follow him into danger, he was more willing to hand over all safety and initiative to Wen Baizhou. He can always work and live in Yicheng No. 01 Bunker, waiting for the day when his little ancestor will arrive in his hometown again, carrying a tactical backpack.

...or maybe, he will never come again.

But that doesn't matter.

The flowers in the wilderness have already nodded for him.

He has seen flowers bloom, and he has seen the sky shine. They all come just for him.

Even if it is only a short-term possession, he can carry this moment towards eternity.

Wen Baizhou became quiet.

After a while, he suddenly chuckled, squeezed Lu Heng's hand and said, "Then I won't be able to help it. I will take Fenrir out for adventure, and I might be late when I come back one day."

Lu Heng said He told him: "It's too dangerous."

There are mutated animals everywhere in 2099. Without seeing them with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine their changes, and it's even harder to estimate their lethality.

Just like the thousand-eyed black octopus in Zecheng. It was clear that Zecheng had done a basic survey of underwater creatures, and it was clear that they had repeatedly asked Zecheng's people about precautions before leaving, but in the end, they still almost caused irreparable damage.

"You are alone, and no one can protect you. Don't go to those places."

Wen Baizhou said again calmly: "Then I won't go out, I will open a door. If anyone is so lucky to bump into that door , I went to the door and said to him, 'My descendants, you have discovered the treasure left by your ancestors. As long as you agree to one condition, you can get the reward.'" As

he spoke, he couldn't help laughing. made a sound.

Lu Heng smiled and said helplessly, "Don't invite people in casually. But as long as it's safe, you can do whatever you want." "In

seven hours, I can't make too difficult a request." Wen Bai Zhou muttered, "Maybe we can only exchange some mutant animals?"

According to his experience, all kinds of research and development materials need to be found and sorted out. Without Qingluan's help, not to mention seven hours, even seventy hours may not be enough. OK.

But for mutant animals, they actually don't need this thing that much. The existing medical information and several mutated creatures are enough for them to study for a long time.

Lu Heng thought carefully for a while, but couldn't think of anything that could be found within seven hours and worth exchanging with Wen Baizhou.

At this moment, some secret regrets welled up in his heart. He has been in Yicheng. There are too few opportunities to go to other cities, and there is too little help for Wen Baizhou...

Lu Heng lowered his eyes, looked at the green fingertips on his palm, and squeezed it gently with his backhand. .

His movements were too gentle, which made Wen Baizhou feel itchy. Wen Baizhou used his backhand to scratch Lu Heng's palm.

Lu Heng's whole body was shaken by the light and gentle force, and his whole body froze suddenly. His blood surged up uncontrollably, and his whole face turned red in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Wen Baizhou looked at him in surprise, flexing his fingers slightly, trying to do something bad again.

Lu Heng quickly retracted his hand. He clenched his palm into a fist uncomfortably and said seriously: "Don't make trouble."

Wen Baizhou reached out and poked his fist: "Look, you will also make demands of me." ."

Lu Heng didn't know why, so Wen Baizhou poked his clenched hand again and said, "You agree to whatever I say, but haven't you ever considered yourself? For more than nine thousand days and more than twenty years, Just wait, you say?"

"I won't change my mind when I see something different." Lu Heng said.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't come? Aren't you afraid that there is no news about me? Is it because something happened to me?"

Seeing Lu Heng's expression suddenly changed when he heard "accident", Wen Baizhou quickly added: "You Don't you even miss me?"

Lu Heng's heart was made nervous by Wen Baizhou. He stared at Wen Baizhou and thought, how could he not want to?

After just one day away, he already felt restless. This is less than a day old.

But Wen Baizhou has his own life, and a dream that he can't give up. He can't be selfish...

"I don't care if you miss me or not, I will miss you."

Wen Baizhou's voice firmly interrupted Lu Heng's words . Thoughts.

He reached out and grasped Lu Heng's clenched fist, and said loudly: "So I will make a request to you. I cannot accept not seeing you for more than nine thousand days in my life. Nine hundred days, ninety days, neither." "

He said it confidently and without hesitation.

Although his attitude was extremely domineering, Lu Heng was filled with joy.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his frozen wasteland. Following Wen Baizhou's words, this ball of fire combined with the most secret and shameful selfish thoughts in Lu Heng's heart, burning all of Lu Heng's emotions.

But Wen Baizhou even came closer and said seriously: "I want to see you all the time. I have this request of you. You can also make requests of me." He was

so close, and his breath was so loud Warm, the lips that spoke the overbearing request were red and soft.

Lu Heng suddenly stretched out his hand, and Wen Baizhou felt like the world was spinning, and he lay back on his bed. And Lu Heng was pressing on him, and he could see it when he looked up.

There was only one Lu Heng left in his field of vision.

"Zhouzhou. I will miss you." He whispered, "I still have many shameful demands in my heart..."

"Brother Heng, as I said, as long as you make a choice, the remaining questions are We both need to face it together."

Wen Baizhou raised his head, suddenly came closer, and kissed Lu Heng on the mouth. He smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, how will I know whether it is really that... ...Shame on people?"

Lu Heng's eyes darkened, he stretched out his hand to caress Wen Baizhou's face, and leaned down suddenly.

The autumn moon falls like water, and the autumn wind blows through the air.

The flowers and trees in the gap between time and space cast shadows of intertwined branches and vines on the wall, and were rustled by the autumn wind.

The night rain came with the wind, and they fell lightly, only wetting a shallow layer of the ground.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, as soon as the little soldier who was responsible for delivering food opened the door, he was aroused by the heating in the room and sneezed.

"You have a cold?" Ye Chi quickly stood up and went to help, "Would you like to take some medicine?"

"No, no, no, the temperature has dropped suddenly today. There is enough heating in your room. You may be a little uncomfortable with the alternation of hot and cold." The little soldier said, "It's white today. The cafeteria has made something else. You can try it."

Speaking of eating, Yu Xingye immediately came up and said, "You all have different things to eat during different seasons? Why didn't you have some time ago?"

"Yes." The little warrior smiled particularly heartily, "But you can't eat it, right? So you didn't go with me. You say."

"Then you are prejudiced. What can't I eat? I'm so strong that I can eat a cow." Yu Xingye hummed, rowing his wheelchair to follow the food delivery truck, smelling the food delivery truck The smell made him feel very happy.

"It smells very sweet. Is it dessert this morning?"

"Hoshino, you have a really good nose." The little soldier said with admiration, "Bai Lu eats sweet potatoes. This morning the cafeteria made some sweet potato porridge and sweet potato cakes to go with it. I ordered some white dew rice wine. It's made from glutinous rice, plus red dates and wolfberry. If it's not intoxicating, you can try it."

Yu Xingye immediately took a bowl: "I'll try it now—"

He watched helplessly The Bailu rice wine he was carrying fell into Lian Sheng's hands. Lian Sheng not only took his bowl, but also took away several bowls of white rice wine in the car: "You can't eat it."

Yu Xingye looked at him helplessly: "Lianzi..."

He looked pitiful little warrior He was very happy to see it, but he was so heartless that when he handed the white dew rice wine to the little soldier, he just stuffed him with a sweet potato cake: "Be obedient." After saying this,

he said hello: "You all come and eat quickly, so as not to worry about the rest. Hoshino is snatching your wine like a hungry wolf." After he finished speaking, he turned around and felt something in his heart: "Where are Brother Heng and Xiaowen?" As soon as he

finished speaking, he saw Lu Heng walking up from the first floor. .

Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and said, "Brother Heng, come and have breakfast."

Lu Heng walked over and picked up a bowl of Bailu rice wine and said, "Zhou Zhou was probably tired yesterday. I'll go up and call him later."

"I thought he went out early in the morning again." Yu Xingye said smoothly, "Speaking of which, my little ancestor just watched a launch yesterday? It takes a whole day to watch a launch?" "

He also went to cooperate and do some tests. ." Lu Heng took a clean bowl and put two small sweet potato cakes into it with serving chopsticks. "Maybe it has something to do with the new equipment we got back this time." "

New equipment again?" Ye Chi's eyes widened. Liang, "Plasma Shield?"

Ever since he saw the video yesterday, he has been craving for Plasma Shield. If 2025 could really match him with one...he would dare to fight the giant python alone!

But Lu Heng shook his head and said, "I didn't ask." He glanced at Ye Chi again as he spoke: "Instead of looking forward to new equipment, why don't you all get used to the exoskeleton." As soon as

these words came out, several people's faces changed. Got confused.

Exoskeletons are a great thing, but they really don't fit in well.

The clothes are already thick, and with the exoskeleton and protective clothing, sitting in the car is almost uncomfortable.

Ye Chi said dryly: "If we are testing a new exoskeleton..."

"Our new exoskeleton is very easy to use." The little soldier said while holding rice wine, "It has a built-in intelligent assistant, and it also uses a new deformable exoskeleton. Material, I heard the captain say before that if we work harder, the exoskeleton can evolve into smart armor."

"The main reason is that we drive for a long time," Ye Chi explained, "In comparison, the plasma shield is more suitable."

Little Warrior After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "The exoskeleton may be more suitable for you to open up the wilderness. After all, it saves more effort."

Ye Chi said loudly, "Yes, when did I go to Dongshan to dig mountains? I like that thing."

"Wait. You'll know what it is when you leave." Lu Heng said calmly, "I'll call Zhou Zhou, and you guys eat slowly."

He went upstairs with the bowl, and Lian Sheng looked at his back thoughtfully, so He looked away after a while.

Upstairs, Lu Heng just knocked on the door and opened Wen Baizhou's door, and saw that Wen Baizhou was already awake.

He seemed to have just woken up and was sitting on the bed, still a little confused. Seeing Lu Heng pushing the door open, he sniffed and said hello: "Brother Heng."

"Are you awake?" Lu Heng quickly walked to his side, "Anyway, there is nothing to do today, do you want to rest for a while?"

" No." Wen Baizhou shook his head, "I want to draw today, I decided before."

He rubbed his eyes, yawned again and poured the water on Lu Heng crookedly: "Uncle Yan yesterday He told me that after testing, the production will be very fast. I estimate that he will let us go in a few days."

The time to recuperate at home this time was indeed a bit long. He stayed there until his bones started to feel lazy. If he didn't go back to 2099, he would forget the smell of the air in 2099.

So the top priority was to finish his painting as soon as possible.

Lu Heng looked at him like a little bird, fluttering his hands to put on clothes. His heart softened, and even his eyebrows softened unconsciously.

As soon as Wen Baizhou raised his eyes, he met Lu Heng's gentle gaze.

He leaned over without hesitation: "Kiss."

Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat and he did not refuse his proposal.

Downstairs, Lian Sheng saw that the breakfast stall was being closed down, and Lu Heng was nowhere to be seen, and the anxiety in his heart resurfaced.

He stood up and walked to the stairs. He hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and turned back to the sofa. After doing this again and again, even Ye Chi felt something was wrong.

"What are you doing, Lianzi?" Ye Chi looked up at him, "Are you going to exercise Yu Xingye's independent spirit today? If you want to go upstairs to see him, just go and see him."

After breakfast, Yu Xingye returned to the third floor. Do basic rehabilitation exercises.

His hands can now use chopsticks flexibly, but his legs and feet are still not that good. His muscles atrophied so much that he had to practice walking every day. Lian Sheng basically practices with him for a while every day.

Now hearing what Ye Chi said, Lian Sheng sighed: "Who wants to see that monkey in Yu Xingye?" "

Then what do you want to see?" Ye Chi turned to look at him, "To see Lu Heng?"

His eyes were particularly special . Quietly, Lian Sheng suddenly felt something in his heart: "What did you say?"

"Isn't that what you're worried about." Ye Chi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Are you worried that Lu Heng is with our ancestor?" He said. He raised his lips and smiled: "Isn't this good?"

"What's so good!" Lian Sheng retorted without thinking, "Hurt others and hurt yourself!"

"Exactly." Ye Chi sneered and turned his head. He looked at the treatment room and saw no one in the room, so he stood up and looked at what Guiyao was doing.

Seeing that Guiyao had gone to the backyard to assemble mechanical parts with the soldiers on duty, he turned back to look at Lian Sheng: "You think this is bad? Is it because it will harm Lu Heng's interests?" "

Otherwise? You said How long can the feelings born under such circumstances last?" Lian Sheng just had a headache just thinking about it.

Let's not talk about the situation of the door. Just say that compared with the environment in which Wen Baizhou grew up and lived since childhood, there is a difference between heaven and earth. Love can blur reality for a while, but cuteness cannot blur reality forever.

"I'm not worried about him. How long can the relationship between several people in the bunker last?" Ye Chi said calmly, "It's better to say that in the bunker, everyone lives like this. If he falls in love with an inappropriate person, he will suffer the consequences himself. He

said and laughed again: "But you can't deny that this relationship will bring benefits to the bunker."

Lian Sheng frowned: "Ye Chi, we are all brothers, and we have been through life and death along the way. You can't just look at these, not to mention that the help they have given us is extraordinary, something we can't even dream of. "

I know, but you are the one who can't see the reality now." Ye Chi sneered, "Compared with the benefits that can be obtained from the bunker, what does Lu Heng's emotional injury mean? You are restless here just because of this. ."

Seeing that Liansheng's brows were still frowning, Ye Chi said again: "Okay, let's not talk about the benefits that Xiaowen's identity can bring. Just talk about the current situation. You go to Lu Heng, wake him up with a stick, and He said you can't be together. Then what? He won't feel bad anymore? Xiaowen won't support him?"

He asked, making Lian Sheng's mind become a mess.

Ye Chi took two steps forward and reached out to pat Lian Sheng on the shoulder: "To be honest, you and Lu Heng grew up together. I can understand that you are worried about him. But since this matter is not harmful to the bunker, there is no need for you to stop it. ."

Lian Sheng gritted his teeth and said after a long time: "You are so thinking about the benefits of the bunker, have you never thought about what if we break up and Xiao Wen falls out?" "

No." Ye Chi said firmly, "Xiao Wen is not someone who would break a promise for personal reasons. He is too well-educated and pays too much attention to promises."

Although he never asked Wen Baizhou how he reached the deal with Zecheng's Qingluan.

But just by looking at the constant chaos in one car after another, even completely exposing one's own belongings, one can clearly see Wen Baizhou's background.

"Lu Heng may not need you to intervene." Ye Chi said, "You might as well treat it as a normal love between two people. From now on, life and death will depend on fate and wealth. It is his freedom to take whatever path he wants."

Lian Sheng He pinned his head in a mess in the living room, and all the words in his heart were beaten into a pulp, and he never found a chance to speak again.

Because within two days, the heavy rain outside the backyard stopped, and Yan Feng also brought them a new set of equipment.

The new equipment is indeed a new exoskeleton equipment. It is thinner and lighter than the one Yan Feng configured for them before, and its coverage is wider.

"A combat uniform made of new metal." Yan Feng introduced, "Wear it just like ordinary clothes, it is bulletproof. The bones are mainly on the shoulders, waist, thighs and outside of the arms. The smart assistant inside is the most basic voice Assistant, it shouldn't hinder your judgment."

Lu Heng nodded and said: "We all have our own attack habits, and untrained AI may indeed make judgments that are contrary to ours." "

We also think about it this way. Yan Feng said, "So I only kept the voice assistant. Besides..."

He looked around as he spoke, and finally waved to Ye Chi: "Xiaoye, come here and give it a try."

Ye Chi really didn't like exoskeletons. But Yan Feng called, and he went anyway. The exoskeleton combat suit in front of him was a bit small, but as soon as he put it on, he found that it had unusual ductility.

"Made of special fabrics, only one size fits all." Yan Feng said with a smile, "Xiaoye can wear it, so I'm relieved."

He watched Ye Chi putting on the exoskeleton little by little, and then he looked serious: "You all use the exoskeleton. That's it, no need for me to introduce it. The only difference of this suit is that it will record and adapt to your movement habits to better assist you in fighting. But its biggest change is not these."

As he said that, he pointed at Ye Chi abdomen.

There is a set of connecting buckles for the exoskeleton combat uniform, but the buckle is slightly larger, and it is placed on the abdomen like a round shield.

"Here, we have a built-in plasma shield." Yan Feng said.

Ye Chi lowered his head suddenly, looked at the button, and lost his voice: "Is this a plasma shield?!" "

Yes, this is it." Yan Feng smiled, "We used the information provided by Qingluan to research a portable protective shield. "

The information originally provided by Qingluan was not actually a plasma shield. Among its research data, that part of the data is the "force field shield" used for the entire aerospace aircraft carrier. It's a pity that whether it's them now or in 2099 in the future, there are still technical barriers and no breakthroughs.

So much so that the information Qingluan handed them was incomplete.

"The biggest research difficulty of this plasma shield currently is its expansion. Originally, I planned to install it on your tank, but unfortunately, the current maximum expansion range can only cover a tall adult."

Yan Feng He paused suddenly, glanced at Ye Chi up and down, and said regretfully: "Like Xiaoye... I suggest you squat down when using it."

Yu Xingye laughed without hesitation.

Ye Chi didn't care. He faced Yu Xingye with a bulging belly: "What are you laughing at? Do you have one? Oops, I forgot that there is someone who doesn't have one!"

Yu Xingye was so angry that he rocked his wheelchair and walked to the edge of the stairs angrily. .

Yan Feng said quickly: "Don't be angry, Xingye, I will definitely have your share when you get better."

After he finished speaking, he patted everyone on the shoulders one by one: "Okay, I don't have anything more to give you this time. . Good children, our preparations have been completed. As long as you are ready, you can set off at any time."

Outside the dilapidated iron gate, the pouring rain has stopped long ago. The falling rain accumulated in puddles. Before the water could penetrate, it was frozen by the severe cold.

They were spread on the ground like lenses, and were crushed to pieces by the chariots that suddenly appeared.

The chariot was driving slowly in the mist. Lu Heng observed the expressions of the people around him and suddenly said: "Want to go over and take a look?" Wen

Baizhou looked at the familiar countryside of Zecheng, hesitated for a long time, and then shook his head. He shook his head and said, "I believe they will live a good life. Qingluan will take care of everything. Go back."

Now that we have said goodbye, let's wait until the next fate comes to meet again.

☆ 161. Chapter 160 [Two in One]

Chapter 160 [Two in One]

Wind and thunder surged in the dark sky.

The strong wind, accompanied by purple lightning, kept whistling high in the sky.

Wen Baizhou turned on the car's ceiling light, compared the map with the continuous flash, and then looked up at the sky. They had just used the door to jump over the dangerous canyon entrance outside Huacheng and the surrounding mountain road just as they had come more than an hour ago.

But who would have thought that just a mountain away, there would already be thunder here.

"The weather has changed...Is it raining ahead?" he asked.

"There is a high probability of freezing rain." Lu Heng said, "It's time to change the season."

2025 has entered autumn again, and 2099 has also seen severe cold here. They are located in the south, and the climate is relatively warm compared to Yicheng. Now walking all the way back is slowly entering winter.

Wen Baizhou nodded, looked away without surprise, and simply asked: "Want to find a place to rest for a while?" He flipped through the map as he said: "There is a station on the road, but I don't know how long it will take. Lu

Heng glanced at it, made some calculations in his mind, and then said: "We should be able to get there in the evening. It will be raining."

He never makes mistakes when estimating the distance and weather.

Not long after saying these words, heavy rain enveloped them.

The raindrops were like sleet, hitting the car with a crackling sound. Not long after, sharp icicles were hung on the outside of both cars. This road is flat, with deserted sandy land in the distance and on both sides, and not even a trace of the remaining ruins of the city can be seen.

The two chariots silently increased their speed, but the rain gradually became heavier, and the ice edges hanging on the vehicles quickly grew larger and thicker.

Fenrir was asked to get out of the car except for being hit by ice a few times along the way. When the night got deep, they finally arrived at the temporary camp.

During this season, there are no transport teams running around. The lonely station stands in the desolate wilderness. From a distance, it looks like a haunted house.

"It's a good thing that Yu Xingye wasn't allowed to come out, otherwise he would have to drag you to hold a ghost story convention." Ye Chi raised his hammer and knocked on the ice on the car. Occasionally, he turned around and saw the firelight reflected on the window glass, and quickly looked away with a sullen face. .

"Are you afraid?" Lian Sheng asked, "I told you not to watch ghost movies with him before you come out. Isn't this purely to put pressure on yourself." "Am

I afraid?" Ye Chi sneered, "It's a joke. "

Gui Yao raised his eyes and glanced at him, then glanced at the window behind him: "Brother Ye, what is that by the window?"

Ye Chi stiffened his back and felt the cold air rising up one after another. He turned around suddenly and shouted with a fierce expression: "What?"

The glass was covered with thick layers of fog due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. Looking through the window, not even a trace of rain can be seen.

Ye Chi quietly clenched the gun and asked, "Xiao Yao, what did you see?!"

"Oh, it's nothing." But he heard Gui Yao say, "I saw it wrong."

Ye Chi breathed a sigh of relief visibly. : "Xiao Yao, have you learned how to joke around? Team Law hasn't come back yet, so don't scare your brother." "

Oh." Gui Yao nodded, "I thought you were really not afraid."

Ye Chi's face suddenly darkened. Lian Sheng laughed sullenly: "Okay, okay, knock on the ice and get ready to eat."

Wen Baizhou said quickly: "I've done it. When you're done, come over and have a meal over the fire."

They arrived late, and it was dinner time. Naturally, it was too late. Lu Heng set the alarm settings by the door and took Fenrir out to carefully check the situation inside and outside the camp.

This station is quite out of the way, and it takes several hours to drive to the nearest bunker, so inspection becomes particularly important.

After making sure that there was no danger nearby, Lu Heng came back with Fenrir.

Fenrir took off his raincoat at the door, shook off the rainwater on his body, and happily ran to the bonfire. Lu Heng took off his protective clothing at the door, carefully crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the rain.

The rain fell on the clothes, and soon a small puddle formed. The rain fell in, splashing a little bit of mercury that no one cared about.

Wen Baizhou sat by the bonfire and greeted Lu Heng with bright eyes: "Brother Heng, come and eat."

Lu Heng walked to him naturally, and as soon as he sat down, a paper lunch box was pressed into his hand. Just by smelling it, he knew it was the spicy beef rice he liked.

"Is it cold?" Lu Heng took the meal and asked him in a low voice, "It will still cool down tonight. After dinner, I will make the bed."

Wen Baizhou stretched out his hand to him and touched Lu Heng's with the back of his hand. The back of the hand: "Look, is it cold?" Lu Heng couldn't help but chuckle. He held Wen Baizhou's hand behind his back and said softly, "It's a bit cold. I'll put a blanket on you in a while

."

The head was talking in a low voice, and when he raised his eyes inadvertently, he met Lian Sheng's gaze looking over.

Lu Heng looked at Lian Sheng calmly. Lian Sheng's mood was extremely complicated. He held his rice in his hands and sighed: "Eat, eat."

Wen Baizhou didn't know what was going on and looked over blankly.

Lian Sheng thought for a while, then stood up and gave Wen Baizhou a solid drink: "I'll boil some water. It's cold tonight. Xiao Wen, you can make a cup later. In case you wake up in the middle of the night and have nothing to warm yourself up."

Looking at the freezing rain , It's coming so violently that there's no telling what it will be like in the middle of the night. Boil some water. Someone wakes up in the middle of the night, gets out of the car to check, and maybe has something to drink to warm up.

Although he could return to the small villa in three days, Lian Sheng was cautious and did not use the small electric kettle in the car. Instead, he directly poured the mineral water into the kettle and put the kettle on the fire.

When the kettle was turned on, they had almost finished their dinner.

Several people threw the paper lunch boxes into the fire and got up to start getting ready for bed.

Lu Heng walked to the door and raised his hand to close the large iron door of the station. He saw that the protective suit he had thrown in the rain suddenly collapsed, and a big hole was dissolved in the place where the accumulated water was stored. The rainwater instantly flowed out of the hole. Bleed away.

Rainwater becomes more corrosive.

He carefully closed the door, took out the anti-corrosion spray from the car, applied a layer of coating to the door and windows, and then returned to the chariot.

In the car, Wen Baizhou had pushed down the back seats and even made the bed.

Because this trip was in winter, Yan Feng specially prepared a plush mattress for them. When not needed, it can be wrapped into a cylinder and bundled behind the rear seat. When needed, the straps can be untied to create a plush mattress.

"This one is warmer." Wen Baizhou patted the mattress, "We'll sleep on this tonight."

Lu Heng reached out and touched it. The mattress feels a bit like... touching a cat. The plush on it is smooth and soft, and the moment you put your palm on it, you feel warmth rising.

He was a little surprised: "Is it a new material?"

Wen Baizhou shook his head: "It's a bedding that has been popular in recent years. It's just that I forgot before. Uncle Yan and the others must have never used this in the team. He and I Mention it, he has been studying it for a long time."

He thought of Yan Feng's appearance at that time, and laughed as he spoke: "Try it quickly and see if it is warmer than sleeping on a chair directly!"

"Okay." Lu Heng nodded. He nodded, but did not lie down as instructed. He returned to the driver's seat, took out a folding partition from the storage box under the seat, walked around to Wen Baizhou, opened the door and hung up the partition, before returning to his position.

Wen Baizhou looked at the partition. It was almost as high as the entire back seat door and as long as the entire back seat. It hung there like a thicker wallpaper, directly blocking the outside view.

He reached out and poked it, and found that the partition was still soft: "What is this for?"

"It's for temperature insulation." Lu Heng said, "This way you won't wake up from the cold when you touch the car door in the middle of the night."

He I always thought that Wen Baizhou was a very honest sleeper. But as time went by and Wen Baizhou gradually got used to falling asleep in the car, Lu Heng discovered that the reason for sleeping honestly was because Wen Baizhou was worried and did not sleep to death.

Their little ancestor was never very honest when sleeping peacefully. It is common for people to wake up from the cold when their hands and feet hit the car door.

Although most of the time he would stumble back and continue sleeping, Lu Heng still wanted to give him a more comfortable sleeping environment.

Wen Baizhou raised his eyebrows when he heard his answer. Against his gaze, Lu Heng took out the duvet and wool blanket and laid them out: "Okay, go to sleep." He

told Wen Baizhou, and then went to tell Fenrir who was responsible for the night watch.

The big black dog was lying lazily by the campfire, with a few firewood for refueling in the middle of the night beside him. Hearing Lu Heng's voice, he sat up and pointed at Lu Heng with his head held high: "Wow~"

Wen Baizhou huddled in the quilt and looked at the two of them with joy.

When Lu Heng lay down, he suddenly lifted his quilt, turned around and buried himself under Lu Heng's quilt.

Lu Heng was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurriedly opened the bed and pulled him in: "What are you doing? What should I do if he catches a cold?"

Wen Baizhou lay comfortably next to him and ordered confidently: "It's warmer when two people sleep. Hold each other. Me."

Lu Heng's whole body froze. He reached out his hand as instructed and carefully hugged Wen Baizhou's waist.

Wen Baizhou blinked, raised his head and kissed him: "This is called a goodnight kiss."

After saying that, he suppressed his smile and said, "It's your turn."

Lu Heng looked at his sweetheart who was just a short distance away. The throat keeps rolling. After a while, he restrained himself, lowered his head, and gently pressed a kiss on Wen Baizhou's forehead.

Wen Baizhou snorted: "Brother Heng, you are not sincere enough."

He raised his head and looked at Lu Heng steadily: "I kissed you in the wrong place!"

Lu Heng looked at him for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and attacked his Lips.

The rain pattered outside, and the bonfire flickered inside. Amidst the sound of plucking wood, one or two restless sparks occasionally jumped out.

Fenrir was lying next to the fire, his eyes closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep. But the slight sound of the door closing woke it up again.

It opened its eyes, looked at Lu Heng who got out of the car, and let out a confused "ooh".

"Shh." Lu Heng made a gesture, "Don't say anything Fenrir, Zhouzhou is asleep."

Fenrir flicked his tail and fell silent. When Lu Heng came to it, it asked: "Then why didn't you sleep?"

"I'm a little hot." Lu Heng said.

Fenrir was even more confused.

The big black dog looked at Lu Heng, who was only wearing a down jacket, and tilted his head in confusion: "Ouch?"

Lu Heng sat by the fire and did not respond to its doubts.

A pile of bonfires used to spend the night could not warm the room, but the coolness warmed by the bonfires did not seem to be able to suppress the heat all over his body.

He was a little slow to understand why the TV series he could find in 2025 were always about love.

This is really a taste that is too complicated and too happy.

Obviously nothing seems to have changed while walking on the road, but because of Zhouzhou's closeness, everything seems to have changed again. This made him realize for the first time that living was such a joyful thing.

Thinking of Zhouzhou, the heat that was so hard to suppress seemed to roll up again.

Lu Heng frowned slightly and simply stood up and walked to the window. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the white mist on the window, then turned back to the car.

Through the car glass, he could see Wen Baizhou curled up and sleeping. He seemed to be looking for someone in his dream, but he couldn't find him, so he could only hold the quilt in his arms.

Lu Heng stared at him quietly through the window. After a long time, he turned around, leaned on the car door, and looked out the window.

The heavy rain covered the sky and the earth like a silk net.

He listened quietly to the sound of rain for a long time before returning to the car and hugging Wen Baizhou tightly.

.........

The chariot stopped and stopped all the way, and when it approached Yicheng, there was only one color left in the field of vision.

Heavy snow flooded the world. In the snow half as high as a man, the chariot could only move back slowly with a snow removal rake hanging on it.

Such slow driving extremely tests people's patience. Fortunately, the tank's auxiliary system has been upgraded with the 2025 intelligent system. After turning on the assisted driving mode, the driver can completely let go and hand over the tank to the system.

"I'm not telling you, I'm going to go blind if I drive like this for another day." When he stopped for repairs, Lian Sheng couldn't help but said: "No wonder only experienced people go to the driving bunker in the middle of winter. It's too painful."

"Mainly. We don't have a big truck to open the road." Ye Chi said, "If there were cars to open the road instead, the situation would be much better." "

Further ahead is Bunker 13. Let's go and deliver the last batch of sugar. And give them another batch by the way. Land adhesive and nutrient solution." Lu Heng said, "Do you want to repair it in Bunker No. 13?"

Upon hearing this, several people shook their heads in unison: "No, it's all gone to the door, so why not go home in one go?" ."

"And if we really need to repair it, we might as well repair it at Xiaowen's house." Ye Chi said, "How can we rest in bunker No. 13?" Having

made up their minds, when they arrived at bunker No. 13, no one was there. hold up. After handing the things to Chen Dan, he didn't stop and drove away directly.

It probably only snowed in Yicheng in the past two days, and the snow on the main roads along the route varied. It should have been because bunkers and supply points organized people to remove the snow, and then the roads were buried in snow again.

As the tank gradually approached Bunker No. 01, Wen Baizhou felt inexplicably nervous.

From the beginning I could maintain my mood, but later I became obviously restless. Lu Heng directly entrusted the chariot to the system and asked with concern: "Zhou Zhou? What's wrong?"

He reached out and grabbed Wen Baizhou's hand, only to feel that the touch was cold. Lu Heng held Wen Baizhou's hand with both hands and said repeatedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon." "

No." Wen Baizhou shook his head and said in a tight voice, "I, I just... ...A little nervous."

He looked at Lu Heng and asked dryly: "Will you... tell Mr. Yang about our relationship?"

Lu Heng hesitated for a moment and asked him: "Do you want me to tell him?"

Wen Bai Zhou couldn't answer.

Lu Heng saw his hesitation and immediately said: "If you don't want to, I won't tell you. Yang Tong may not be able to hide it, but I will tell him not to tell the old man."

Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and waited for a while before he dared to He mustered up the courage to say: "I don't want you to hide it from the old man, I just..."

He couldn't tell what it was.

Facing Lu Heng, he could make various demands with confidence. But he was a little nervous for no reason when he wanted to reveal this relationship to Mr. Yang.

Lu Heng didn't urge him, he just stroked his cold hands and whispered, "Don't be anxious, we can take our time."

"Brother Heng." Wen Baizhou looked at his hands, "Will the old man scold me?" "

No." Lu Heng replied, "He will only scold me."

Wen Baizhou muttered and retorted: " That's not necessarily the case..."

Lu Heng reached out and touched his hair: "Don't think too much, let's just let nature take its course."

The tank approached Yicheng No. 01 bunker like a snail. When we walked to the outside of the bunker, the snow suddenly cleared.

The dirt floor outside the bunker was actually clean without any snow at all.

Lu Heng released the assisted driving mode and accelerated back home quickly.

Yang Tong got the news when the chariot passed through the special outdoor planting area. When the two tanks entered the buffer zone, Lu Heng saw Yang Tong waiting there.

After several people got out of the car, Yang Tong looked at each one and said, "Go upstairs, the old man has been waiting for you."

"How are you doing, teacher?" Lu Heng asked.

"It's not bad." Yang Tong said, "But you didn't come back, and he was still worried about you." After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He asked about Xingye recently. Xingye hasn't been there for a long time. He has shown his face. If you don't let him show his face, I'm afraid

you won't be able to hide it." Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng looked at each other and said, "We will pick up Xingye right now. It will take some time to go back and forth. Brother Yang Tong, please hold on. ."

Yang Tong looked at Wen Baizhou in surprise: "Xingye is still alive?"

Wen Baizhou: "...?"

Wen Baizhou: "Of course!"

Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "So he is really alive... then Okay, you go pick it up. I will tell the old man that there is something wrong with your car, so I spent some time checking the car."

They drove to the old location outside Yicheng to change cars, and then rushed back to bring Yu Xingye back One trip is not too late.

The chariot rushed back to the edge of Yicheng at lightning speed. When they entered the small villa, they didn't say anything nonsense. They just dragged Yu Xingye and his wheelchair into the chariot.

The protective clothing and down jacket were put on in the car, including the brand new exoskeleton, which was also put on Yu Xingye.

"Will my walking posture reveal my secrets?" Yu Xingye asked while inspecting the exoskeleton, "Does this system have an assistive walking function? If I walk too stiffly, will the old man find out that I am lame?" "

Yes, some, don't worry. ." Wen Baizhou sat next to him, rummaging through the medical kit, "We will tell the old man that your leg was injured during this trip, so you are walking strangely. He may ask to take a look and you can choose your own bag. That leg."

Yu Xingye took the gauze and wrapped it up directly on his right calf. Just as he was about to tie the knot, he suddenly made a move: "Sprinkle some medicine first. The smell of myrrh cannot be concealed."

The two of them hurriedly pretended. When they returned to the bunker, Yu Xingye's face became even rounder. There is nothing strange about it.

Yang Tong looked at him and gave a rare smile: "I'm back."

"Brother Yang Tong," Yu Xingye reached out and hugged him for a moment, "I'm back. I'm fine. Don't worry."

Yang Tong patted him: "Okay, let's go upstairs. If you don't show up, the old man will be really sad."

Yu Xingye raised his hand and followed everyone into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator door closed, he couldn't stand and fell down. Ye Chi directly squatted down with the person between his legs, and asked Yu Xingye to sit on his lap: "Sit tight, don't show any flaws when I see you later."

"What do you mean?" Yu Xingye said, patting Ye Chi. "Can you hold it steady?"

Ye Chi snorted coldly: "With your current body? Tsk." As

soon as the elevator door opened, he simply stretched out his arms and carried Yu Xingye on his shoulders until he reached the old man. Outside the ward, Ye Chi put the person down.

Several people arranged their clothes and mood in the small lounge outside the suite, and then Lu Heng pushed open the door of the ward.

Hearing the sound, Yang Qi looked towards the door and smiled in surprise: "Why did you come up to see me all together?" "I'll

leave the car repairs to Brother Yang Tong. We just thought we might as well come up to see you together." Lian Sheng smiled and said, "How are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine, everything is fine." Yang Qi looked at them one by one, and his eyes fell on Yu Xingye, staying there for an extra long time.

"Xingye." He waved, "Come here, come to me."

Yu Xingye strode over and carefully sat beside Yang Qi's bed. He looked at Yang Qi. He said nothing, but his eyes were red: "Old man, why are you so thin?"

He hadn't seen Yang Qi for a long time, and he could only know about Yang Qi's situation from everyone's reports. , listening to them saying that the effect was better after changing the medicine, I thought Yang Qi was getting better.

But now, when I look at it, I see that the person has become so thin that he has lost all his strength.

"I'm old, and it's normal for me to lose fat." Yang Qi said with a smile, "What about you? Why haven't you come to see me?"

Yu Xingye touched his nose and said half-seriously: "I suffered a little pain before. I am injured and dare not come to see you."

Yang Qi was not surprised. He cast his gaze on Yu Xingye's leg: "Is the injury on your leg?"

"I'm almost healed. I can't hide this." Yu Xingye said with a smile, "How dare I come to see you when I'm not well."

Yang Qi stretched out his hand and hit him on the head like a punishment: "You haven't come to see me all this time, which makes me even more worried. Now that I see you are fine, I feel relieved." He

held Yu Xingye's hand and raised his eyes again. Wen Baizhou asked: "Zhouzhou, how is this journey?"

Wen Baizhou walked up immediately. He smiled and leaned over to hug Yang Qi, and then said: "It's very good. We are all familiar with this journey. Don't worry."

After the usual conversation, Ye Chi and the others took Yu Xingye away first, and even Wen Baizhou took the first step.

Yang Qi only left Lu Heng behind.

He looked at Lu Heng carefully and felt that Lu Heng seemed to be a little different when he came back after going out this time.

He tentatively asked: "Xiao Heng, is there anything worth being happy about along the way?"

Lu Heng sat next to him, stretched out his hand to hold Yang Qi's skinny hand, and after a long time he whispered: " Teacher, there is something I must tell you."

Yang Qi's expression was solemn, and there was hope in his eyes: "What is it?"

"I have found the meaning of living."

Lu Heng said with a smile.
