Chapter 161 [Two in One]
Yang Qi looked at Lu Heng's soft expression that he had never seen before, and couldn't help but feel a lot of sadness in his heart.
He reached out and held Lu Heng's hand, patted the back of his hand, and kept saying: "Okay, okay. Xiao Heng, living is a very interesting thing. Only when you are alive can you meet the person who makes you happy." People who want to live."
His face was kind and his eyes were full of smiles. He quietly looked at the child who had grown into a young man in front of him, and saw the soft affection in his eyes, and was filled with emotion in his heart.
Yang Qi has always felt that he is a very failed elder. He built the Yicheng No. 01 bunker by himself, but he couldn't raise a child.
Lu Heng's mother... was the first child he raised.
At that time, he was twenty years old and the girl was only in junior high school. He was both an older brother and a father, and worked hard to raise him.
Later...the little girl grew up. She wanted a family that was connected by blood, so she gave birth to Lu Heng.
But when Lu Heng reached the age of junior high school, she seemed to feel that she was the parent she lost when she was in junior high school, so her children could also bear the pain of losing her in junior high school.
But she forgot that death, which cannot be violated, and being actively abandoned by the living are two completely different pains.
The lady has passed away, and Yang Qi doesn't want to comment on the choices she made.
But over the years, I have watched Lu Heng grow from the extreme and unruly teenager to a calm person who is indifferent to his own life. He couldn't express the anxiety in his heart.
How many times he would look at Lu Heng after a busy day and feel guilty.
He took the child to his side, but was unable to give him more care. All the things in the bunker occupied all his time. Lu Heng could only digest the confusion, loss and pain by himself. He eventually carried them and grew into a person who was indifferent to himself.
So when he goes on a mission, he always works very hard. Others say that he can handle things and that he is strong and capable. But Yang Qi knew that he just didn't care much.
He doesn't care about his situation, nor his life or death.
He could only tell Lu Heng again and again to come and see him when he got back from the mission. He wanted to use this to add a shackles to Lu Heng and let Lu Heng know that there were still people in the family who were thinking about him.
But now, his child finally met such a person.
A person who made him willing to surrender and put on the yoke.
"Okay. That's great." Yang Qi kept saying, "Let me guess...is it Zhouzhou?"
Lu Heng looked surprised: "Teacher?"
"You can't fool me." Yang Qi said with a smile, "If it weren't for Zhouzhou, there would be no one else."
Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh: "It's him."
Yang Qi said cheerfully: "I knew it could only be Zhouzhou. Only he is the best The different one."
Most of those who were the same age as Lu Heng grew up when the bunker was struggling to survive. When I was a child, I never saw the sun and didn't get much love.
Young saplings can only rely on the occasional rain and dew and their own strong vitality to take root and grow with difficulty.
In such a barren wilderness, two similar trees cannot grow.
But Zhouzhou is different.
He grew up being watered by love and sunshine, so he also grew into the shape of spring.
He will bring sunshine and love. He will cause all things to grow.
If there is anyone in this world who can make Lu Heng stop, who can make him discover that living is a beautiful thing.
Then there was only Wen Baizhou.
With a smile on his face, Lu Heng nodded in agreement and said, "Zhou Zhou...
is very good." "What do you think of Zhou Zhou?"
Lu Heng thought for a while and said with a smile, "He is afraid that you will scold him, so just do it Just pretend you don't know for now."
"Why would I scold this kid?" Yang Qi smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people." He patted the back of Lu Heng's hand. : "Okay, you are all tired from this journey. Go back and rest. I have nothing to do here, don't worry."
Lu Heng was also worried about his health. Hearing this, he stood up and made Yang Qi a cup of hot orange juice, and told him After saying a few words to him, he left the room.
It wasn't until the door to the room closed that Yang Qi's smiling expression slowly dimmed.
After a long time, he took a long breath.
Let's see...
...
and Lu Heng left the medical floor, but did not go back to the bedroom directly. Instead, he went down a few floors and went to the bunker's new library.
Wen Baizhou was brought here by Yang Qi.
When Lu Heng pushed the door open, he saw Wen Baizhou surrounded by several members of the transportation team. He was holding a colored pencil in his hand and was talking to someone.
It wasn't until he walked in that Wen Baizhou noticed him: "Brother Heng!"
"What are you doing?" Lu Heng squeezed away the people around him without leaving a trace, and lowered his head to look at the small book held in Zhouzhou's hand.
Unexpectedly, what was drawn on the book was a map.
"I'm telling them the key points of drawing a map." Wen Baizhou said with great interest, "Except for the main roads maintained by survivor settlements, most roads in the wild change every season. It's all based on experience. I'm walking. But I think it would be helpful if the map was drawn more accurately." "
That would be a great help. Captain Lu, tell me, our team's map was drawn by Captain Jiang. We need to go a long way. Can you do it? It all depends on luck."
Someone immediately laughed: "Captain Jiang is leading the team. It doesn't matter if he has a map. Anyway, he has to find the way by himself." "
You can't think like that. Look, Captain Lu and his team brought them back this time. On the map, the line to Zecheng is very clear. Next time I take this line for cross-city transportation, I will feel more confident." "
Okay, okay, let's not talk about anything else. Do you still want to learn? ?" Wen Baizhou asked, "
If you don't want to learn, I will leave." The others quickly said: "You have learned, you continue talking."
Wen Baizhou turned his head to look at Lu Heng again: "Brother Heng, go and wait aside. Wait for me?"
Lu Heng paused and then said: "Okay."
He took a step back, and the position next to Wen Baizhou was immediately occupied again. A feeling of dissatisfaction suddenly surged in his heart.
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Baizhou, who was one step away, and took a few steps back before reluctantly moving his attention away.
Many books in the library have been opened. Textbooks, tutorial books, novels, and picture books are all placed on different shelves. One glance shows that a lot of thought has been wasted.
Lu Heng saw a book in the general reading column that he had not finished. He walked over and took out a book and leaned on the bookshelf to read it.
Wen Baizhou lowered his voice and talked to others about the key points of drawing a map. After a long time, he looked up and saw Lu Heng leaning on the bookshelf, holding a book in his hand, but not reading it.
His eyes collided with Lu Heng's in mid-air, and he wrinkled his nose quietly at Lu Heng. Lu Heng smiled and looked away, forcing himself to focus on the book.
But the way Zhouzhou wrinkles his nose is also very cute. He looked at the words on the paper, but all he thought about was how cute Bai Zhou looked just now.
Lu Heng forced himself to wait for a few seconds. Then he closed the book, inserted it back into the bookshelf, and returned to Wen Baizhou again.
Teacher Zhou's temporary small class also happened to come to an end at this time. He tore out the key points written in the small notebook and handed it to a team member: "You can make a few more copies yourself. I'm going to rest."
"Oh. Oh! Okay!" The transport team members suddenly came back to their senses, "It's indeed very late, I'm so embarrassed to keep dragging you along. Bai Zhou has a good rest, and Team Lu has a good rest too!"
They finished talking in a hurry, Another swarm of people swarmed to the small long table set up in the library, and carefully copied it with the pen and notebook placed on the table.
Wen Baizhou stretched out his hand to Lu Heng: "Sir, I kept you waiting for a long time. Now you can take me back."
Lu Heng chuckled and held his hand: "Let's go."
The two left hand in hand. In the library, Wen Baizhou had a lot to say.
Let me first ask what the old man said? Let's talk about what's new in the library.
"I found that the most borrowed pictures are picture books and colorful popular science books." Wen Baizhou said, "There are also many people who apply to Brother Yang Tong and want to take back the posters that accompany the books."
He brought all New books, many come with posters, bookmarks and even drawing books.
"Brother Yang Tong made those things into rewards to encourage everyone to read more books. I think they are quite useful." Wen Baizhou thought for a while and then said, "But I didn't expect that everyone likes historical science popularization. Brother Yang Tong told me , the borrowing queue for those sets of popular science books will be next month."
"It should be related to Teacher Qi," Lu Heng reminded him, "Teacher Qi was playing "Hexi Corridor" for everyone before leaving."
Wen Baizhou suddenly realized: "That's right!"
Teacher Qi's choice of documentaries is very different from Mr. Yang's. But when Mr. Yang used nature documentaries and sightseeing films to build everyone's understanding of the pre-war world, "Hexi Corridor" that Teacher Qi chose to play was very timely.
Now that people know what the world looks like, they should know where they come from and where their own civilization comes from.
Teacher Qi stepped forward and acted as a guide.
"And the sets of historical science books you chose also come with a lot of pictures. They can be regarded as picture books with more text." Lu Heng told him, "Picture books have no reading threshold and are the most suitable books to read."
" I think so too. Moreover, picture books are colorful and can occupy everyone's attention more visually than pure text." Wen Baizhou followed him back, "And children will also like picture books more."
They talked all the way , as if in the blink of an eye, I returned from the library to the dormitory on the tenth floor underground.
Wen Baizhou pushed open the dormitory door, but never closed it. Lu Heng stood by the door, watching him intently.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any movement. Wen Baizhou took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair. He turned around and asked him, "Are you going to keep looking at me like this?"
Lu Heng put his hand on it nervously. Behind him, he took a deep breath and stepped into the door: "I forgot to do one thing."
Wen Baizhou looked up at him.
Lu Heng lowered his head and murmured: "I haven't given you a good night kiss yet."
Wen Baizhou blinked and reached out to hook Lu Heng's neck: "Then you can give it to me now." His
soft lips pressed against each other. Coming up, the intertwined breathing aroused the restlessness of all the cells in the body.
Lu Heng returned to his room feeling very hot. He felt that this dormitory where he had lived for ten years was not pleasing to the eye.
He chose this place back then just because it was very close to the indoor planting area. If anything happened in the planting area, he could handle it in time.
But looking at it now, I just feel that this room is too simple, too dark, and even a little damper than other places. It's totally...not a suitable place for people to live.
Lu Heng paced back and forth in the room like a trapped animal. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and strode out of the room.
...
On the first night after returning to bunker No. 01 in Yicheng, Wen Baizhou slept soundly.
Although the dormitory in the bunker is very simple, this can be regarded as his bedroom in the bunker. Although he couldn't renovate the bedroom, the small bedroom was filled with his own things, which subconsciously made him feel relieved.
This relaxation made me wake up late the next day.
He took out his phone and looked at the time and found that it was already past ten o'clock. At this time, breakfast was already gone, but lunch still had to wait.
"Why didn't you come and call me..."
He muttered as he rubbed his eyes, yawned and got out of bed to wash up, then slowly got dressed and went to the next door.
Sure enough, Lu Heng was no longer in the room.
Is there anything urgent you need to do? Wen Baizhou was a little confused. After sleeping for too long, I wasn't even hungry, so I just walked up without eating.
The people in the land processing area didn't know he was back yet. They were analyzing the data of the dirt road in the past few months in their room, when they saw the door being pushed open and a furry head poking around the door.
Shang Xian asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Wen Baizhou blinked and replied obediently: "Let me take a look at your data."
Upon hearing this voice, Shang Xian was shocked: "Bai... Bai Zhou? !" He looked at Wen Baizhou carefully and found that he had recognized the right person: "What's going on? Why did your hair change like this?" "
I cut my hair." Wen Baizhou said, "You are in a meeting Am I disturbing you?"
"No, no." Shang Xian hurriedly welcomed him in, "We are also talking about data. You are here to analyze it together." The
nutrient loss of dirt roads is related to the direction of future planting and land treatment. District staff take this very seriously. Wen Baizhou was willing to participate, and they wished they could welcome him with both hands and feet.
Shang Xian found a stool for Wen Baizhou to sit down and briefly explained the data. Wen Baizhou nodded, browsed the data and quickly entered work mode.
The land treatment area was busy talking to each other, and the buffer area of ââthe bunker's superstructure was also busy.
The part of the bunker exposed above the ground is usually the teaching area, work area and buffer zone.
For example, in addition to the lobby, the first floor also has a cleaning area for the transportation team, an office for the land treatment department, and classrooms for children. In addition to the buffer area for vehicle dispatch, the second floor is the training ground for new members of the transportation team.
Although the ground fortress part has many rooms, is large and spacious, it is hardly inhabited.
In addition to the various noises on the first floor being transmitted to the third floor, there are also reasons why people who originally built the building preferred to live underground. After the first group of people lived underground, those who came after them almost always chose to live underground.
The rooms on the third floor are almost only used during the transportation season to entertain the transportation team members who come from far away.
But now, Lu Heng was looking around on the empty third floor.
"Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?" Ye Chi followed behind Lu Heng, tilting his head and hunched back, and whispered to Lian Sheng.
Liansheng raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"He is choosing a nest." Ye Chi yawned, "The next step is to build a nest. Do you know how to choose a nest? Before those birds build their nests, they are in various trees. You crawl around in the bunker and choose a safe and warm place to lay your eggs."
Lian Sheng laughed and said, "You learned this while watching documentaries in the bunker."
"This is precious animal knowledge." Ye Chi said, " We humans are just animals, and animals behave in the same way."
The light in the special planting area is always like the sun, which makes the entire ground part of the bunker distinguish between day and night. Now even if the lights are not turned on, their view is still bright when walking on the third floor.
Ye Chi watched for a long time, feeling a little restless in his heart.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Heng stopped. He stood not far from the elevator hall, which was originally the reception desk on the third floor. Now no one comes, so it is vacant.
Ye Chi walked up a few steps and looked inside.
The reception area is a small suite, similar to the suites in the medical area. Pushing the door open is a small reception area, and walking further inside is a larger room. There is a powder room inside the large room.
Best of all, this reception has windows in the reception area and in the great room. Light from the special planting area filters in through the windows, giving the illusion of sunny weather.
"This place is nice." Ye Chi smacked his lips, "Can we stay there?"
"I asked Brother Yang Tong, yes." Lu Heng said, "With the points and credits I have accumulated over the years, I can change to a suite. ."
"Brother Yang Tong let you choose by yourself?" Ye Chi was a little envious, "I have to ask if I can choose another one. Don't tell me, I really thought it was safe to live underground before, but now, what? I don't feel very happy about it."
He was obviously proud and satisfied when he chose that small room.
As a result, after following Xiaowen for so long, the small villa was on the ground and Zecheng was still on the ground. I have lived on the ground for a long time, and now that I am back in the bunker, I always feel that it is dark and oppressive underground.
Mr. Yang always said that people should live on the ground, and he was absolutely right.
"Go ahead," Lu Heng said, "I want this apartment."
"But if we choose the third floor, what will happen next exchange season?" Lian Sheng hesitated.
He also liked the environment on the third floor.
Even if they don't have the sun, the lights in the special planting areas will turn on and off according to the plants' schedule. Why doesn't the artificial sun count?
He estimated that it was not just them, Yu Xingzhi must also be restless.
But if they all come, it may be difficult to arrange the work for the next quarter.
"We should have fewer things to exchange with people next season." Lu Heng said, "There will be more people walking out." He glanced around the environment on the third floor and thought for a while before adding: "First of all, Let's see what Brother Yang Tong said."
Yang Tong had already received news from Mr. Yang, and he probably knew the reason why Lu Heng wanted to change rooms. When he heard that they all wanted to move to the third floor, he didn't stop him.
"It's just that you have to be prepared. If you live on the third floor now, it will be very noisy during the material exchange season." Yang Tong reminded, "The large floating population will also make the third floor less safe."
Ye Chi He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yang Tong, you forgot, it happens to be the material exchange season, and none of us will be in the bunker!"
They are from the transportation team, and they have already brought people to drive the goods during the material exchange season. If you run away, how can you stay in the bunker and be disturbed by others? It's time for them to disturb outsiders.
Yang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "I was busy and forgot."
He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, and then said: "If you all want to change, I can do it here. But if you all choose the suite, these years The merit earned will be deducted. Plus the points... is it enough?"
"I don't want an apartment. Just give me a single room with a bathroom." Ye Chi waved his hand and said, "I don't have many friends to entertain me. What kind of apartment?"
Yang Tong nodded and asked, "Where are you, Lian Sheng?"
Lian Sheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'll go back and ask Xingye. We have been neighbors all our lives, let's see what he chooses."
"Okay. Let me know when you've made your choice." Yang Tong lowered his head and made a few strokes on the accommodation registration form. "Is Xiao Heng sure? Where to move?"
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes."
"Okay. I'll arrange it. People will replace the basic furniture for you." Yang Tong said, "You can move other things by yourself." He put away the notebook and added: "Remember to mention it to the old man when you move. If you find any safety hazards while living up there, you can also move it. Remember to notify us."
The biggest fear of the ground fortress is that the various external coatings peel off, accidentally exposing itself to the radiation environment. This is also the reason why no one wants to live on the ground.
"I will set up the Geiger counter." Lu Heng responded, "I'm going to move now."
Ye Chi reached out and hooked his shoulder: "Together."
They didn't have many personal belongings, so moving was extremely simple. .
But the data in the land treatment area is as vast as smoke. Several months of data were piled up, and the entire land processing area was busy all morning and was not finished.
Shang Xian rubbed his head in pain: "Let's eat first, everyone. After eating
, we can continue in the afternoon." When it came to eating, everyone's spirits were wilted again: "I don't know what to eat today? The fried mushrooms from last week I like it so much."
"Hey, it's good to have that kind of food twice a week. Now that we can produce oil ourselves, I'm finally not so greedy for oil." Someone stood up and said, "Bo Zhou, do you want to eat together? "
No." Wen Baizhou shook his head, "I'm going to find someone."
"Who are we looking for?"
As they talked, they pushed open the office door of the land processing area.
Lu Heng was standing not far away, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked over.
Wen Baizhou met his gaze and immediately smiled: "No need to look for it, you go ahead."
He ran to Lu Heng in small steps: "What are you doing today? You didn't even ask me to get up!"
"It's a bit urgent. Lu Heng whispered, "It's been taken care of now. Zhouzhou, I want to take you somewhere."
â 163. Chapter 162 [Two in One]
Chapter 162 [Two in One]
Today is a rare good weather in winter.
The heavy snow has passed and there is no strong wind. Standing in the ground fortress, the lights in the special planting area make the ground fortress as bright as day.
The staff of the transportation team are no longer engaged in transportation work, and are conducting annual inspections of the bunker inside and outside.
Wen Baizhou looked at the suite in front of him, but his mood was far from as good as the weather.
The suite in front of me can be regarded as an excellent suite for Yicheng No. 01 Bunker. One room and one living room, day and night are different, the windows are bright and clean. There is a wooden table and a few wooden stools in the living room, which looks extremely simple. But there is a big bed in the bedroom.
The bed was also a wooden bed, but it was covered with a snow-white plush blanket. A simple bedside table is placed next to the bed, with a pot of green plants placed on the table. There is a curtain hanging on the bedroom window.
A Geiger counter monitoring radiation hung by both windows. There is even one hanging at the entrance to the living room and bedroom.
There are actually four Geiger counters placed in such a small room.
How worried are you to make this arrangement?
Wen Baizhou looked at everything in front of him. He sighed deeply in his heart, then turned to look at Lu Heng with a smile. He asked him with a smile: "Brother Heng, did you know that in our place... we invite people to live together?" What do you mean?"
After saying that, he didn't give Lu Heng a chance to speak. He reached out and hooked Lu Heng's neck, and put his head against Lu Heng's cheek: "Are you ready to be with me forever? "
Lu Heng put his arms around Wen Baizhou's waist, his back straightened.
He didn't expect Wen Baizhou's reaction at all, so when facing Wen Baizhou's question, he could only ask in a low voice: "You... want to live with me?"
"Your question Asking..."
Wen Baizhou snorted lightly.
He retracted his hand, took a step back and left Lu Heng's arms. He looked up at Lu Heng with his hands behind his back and asked, "It should be you, do you want to live with me?"
Every arrangement in this house was made for him. Every piece of furniture has no trace of Luhenghui's stay.
This is a room completely prepared for Wen Baizhou alone.
Lu Heng stared at Wen Baizhou with a heavy gaze, and his throat rolled several times before he uttered one word: "I want to."
He wanted to live with Zhou Zhou, and wanted to be with Zhou Zhou forever.
Even...
I want to find a place where only the two of them can stay together for the rest of their lives. No one can find them and no one can disturb them.
Only he can see Zhouzhou, only he can own Zhouzhou.
These are his secret thoughts that cannot be known to outsiders.
Wen Baizhou laughed when he heard the answer. He turned around without looking at Lu Heng and just asked: "What if I don't want to live with you?"
Lu Heng looked at his back and lowered his eyes: "You can live here. Even Sheng and Ye Chi are also nearby, and they will protect you."
Ye Chi may not be so comfortable as a teammate, but if he hears that Baizhou is connected to the bunker's interests, Ye Chi will risk his life to protect him. .
Wen Baizhou was really angry when he heard this answer. He turned around and looked at Lu Heng and said sternly: "It turns out that Yicheng No. 01 Bunker is so dangerous, why do you have to trouble the Lu team to arrange someone to protect me!"
After saying that, he sneered again: "The Lu team said personally that he would protect me. , and ended up pushing the work to others. Do you think I'm annoying?"
"Zhouzhou," Lu Heng said hurriedly, "I definitely didn't mean that!" "
Then what could you mean?" Wen Baizhou said angrily, " Did I force you to be with me? When you returned to the bunker, you changed your house for me and stopped being a neighbor. Do you blame me for misunderstanding?"
Lu Heng stepped forward and held his hand tightly: "I I want to live with you, but the previous house was too small. After choosing this house, I found that I forgot to ask about your wishes."
He lowered his voice and said softly: "If you don't want to live with me, then Can I sleep in the living room? I'll protect you in the living room."
"There's not even a bed in the living room, where can you sleep?" Wen Baizhou snorted coldly, "You don't dare to hold my hand for fear of offending me, and you don't dare to kiss me proactively. You're also afraid of offending me. I think you just don't love me enough."
"Zhouzhou!" Lu Heng interrupted him sharply.
But when he called someone, he didn't know what to say. He just looked at Wen Baizhou with red eyes and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms.
"Zhouzhou, Zhouzhou."
He hugged Wen Baizhou hard and prayed in a low voice: "I don't know how the lovers over there should get along. Please teach me, okay?"
Wen Baizhou rested his head on On his shoulder, he hummed: "First of all, learn to speak! If you want to live with me, won't you ask me? If you think you are too abrupt, you will naturally reject you. It is better for two people to discuss it together than for you to think nonsense alone. Much better."
"Okay." Lu Heng said immediately, "Zhouzhou, are you willing to live with me?" "
Then I have to think about it." Wen Baizhou said, "You are going to make me mad."
" My fault." Lu Heng turned his head and kissed his hair gently, "What else?"
"You have to take the initiative to kiss me, and you have to take the initiative to hug me!" Wen Baizhou said plausibly, "I am a living person, and It's not a sculpture that needs you to worship. You have been so restrained, which only makes me feel that you don't like me that much."
Lu Heng was shocked and immediately said: "I understand."
"Let me go now." Wen Bai Zhou muttered, "It's so hot."
As soon as Lu Heng's strength relaxed, he reached out and pushed Lu Heng away: "I'm very angry now, and I want to turn my anger into appetite. I don't want to talk to you."
"Okay, Then let's go eat." Lu Heng went to hold his hand, "Today's staple food in the cafeteria is yam and chicken soup. There are also chopped vegetables and chopped fungus in it. I heard that the cafeteria found the dishes in the book you brought."
Wen Baizhou did not refuse his initiative and just followed him quietly.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found Lian Sheng and Yu Xingye who were still eating. After hearing that Baizhou sat down first, Lu Heng went to get the food.
Yu Xingye sat on the stool, with the crutch leaning against the table in his hand. He tilted his head and looked at Wen Baizhou. After watching for a long time, he reached out and poked the other person: "What's the matter with you? Who are you angry with?"
"No one." Wen Baizhou said, "I just feel that some people can't do it without scolding."
Lian Sheng raised his eyes and looked over. , he thought about it again and again, and decided not to ask. But Yu Xingye's curiosity was aroused and he asked repeatedly: "Who is it?"
Wen Baizhou laughed and said: "Who else could it be?"
"Okay, don't ask." Lian Sheng said, "Xiaowen handles Xiaowen's affairs by himself."
"What about that? What should I do if someone bullies him?" Yu Xingye said, "Who is it? Is scolding enough? I'll help you vent your anger."
Wen Baizhou said: " Brother Heng. Go ahead and scold him."
Yu Xingye: "?"
He looked at Wen Baizhou blankly, and then looked up blankly at Lu Heng, who had just walked to the table.
Lu Heng placed the staple food, today's stir-fried spinach and a small bowl of egg soup in front of Wen Baizhou before sitting down. Wen Baizhou took the chopsticks and started eating without saying a word. Lu Heng would bring him vegetables from time to time. Although he didn't speak, he ate all the food that came to him.
Yu Xingye was even more confused. He always felt that something was wrong, but he also felt that there seemed to be no problem with the two of them getting along.
He could only touch Lian Sheng quietly and ask in a low voice: "Little Ancestor and Brother Heng, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lian Sheng said, "Eat your food well."
Yu Xingye frowned and asked him "You three are wrong. You are obviously hiding something from me. We are not brothers anymore. You have secrets and you don't tell me!"
Lian Sheng sighed. He reached out and patted Yu Xingye on the shoulder. After everyone finished eating, they stood up and left, and asked, "Xiaowen, do we still need to send Hoshino back?"
"Yes. Hoshino's rehabilitation plan has not been completed yet. I will send him back when the time is up." Wen Baizhou said, raised his eyes to Yu Xingye, and asked with concern, "Xingye, have you exercised on time in the past two days?" "
I'm keeping an eye on him, don't worry." Lian Sheng said, "You also take your medicine on time."
"That's good." Wen Baizhou nodded, "When I send Xingye back, I might stay at home for a little longer."
Lu Heng suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him.
Lian Sheng looked at the two of them and tentatively said, "That's okay. I think there won't be much going on this winter, and it's impossible to run around in this kind of weather. Xiao Wen, you go back and do your own thing, and you don't have to worry about us here." "
The ice lasts for half a year. If Lu Heng doesn't follow, it seems to be a good thing that both of them are calm and collected.
Just as Lian Sheng was thinking this, he heard Lu Heng say, "I'm with you." Wen Baizhou supported his head with his hands and tilted his head to look at Lu Heng. He didn't say whether it was good or bad, but just
asked him: "Why?"
Heng tensed his jaw and answered concisely: "I want to be with you."
Lian Sheng sighed silently.
Yu Xingye was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks: "?!"
Wen Baizhou suppressed his laughter and just said: "Then I'll think about it."
Lu Heng whispered: "Okay."
Yu Xingye didn't care about his chopsticks. He looked at this, then that, and finally turned to look at Lian Sheng: "Did you hear that?!"
"Yes." Lian Sheng bent down to pick up the chopsticks he had dropped, and wiped them carefully before handing them back to him. He said, "Eat your food."
"No, what's going on?" Yu Xingye pointed at Lu Heng, "Both of them?!"
"Xiao Wen said that Brother Heng can't do anything without scolding him, can't you realize it? "Lian Sheng looked at him lovingly, "Although the muscles have atrophied, my brain can still be saved. I can use your brain occasionally."
Wen Baizhou suppressed a smile: "Why are you asking Lian Sheng? We don't Right in front of you, are there any questions that you can't ask the person involved?"
"I'm afraid." Yu Xingye said pitifully, "I'm afraid that I can't bear the answer."
"Then just be afraid." Wen Baizhou He picked up the bowl and drank up the yam soup in the bowl. "There is still a lot of data to be processed in the land processing area, so I will leave first."
Lu Heng stood up immediately: "You guys eat slowly."
Yu Xingye Looking at the two of them leaving one after another, he collapsed and asked: "When did this start?"
Lian Sheng knocked on his bowl: "You should worry about your own affairs. "
...
After leaving the canteen, Lu Heng stepped forward and grabbed Wen Baizhou's hand: "Zhou Zhou."
Wen Baizhou stopped and looked at him quietly.
Lu Heng asked in a low voice: "Have you considered it?"
Wen Baizhou said deliberately: "Considering what?"
Lu Heng held his hand, his ears were red and hot: "Do you want to live with me?" "
Then You have to wait for me to think about it again." Wen Baizhou said, "The law team is not ready to be with me for the rest of my life, so I don't dare to agree casually." It was clear that he
was just joking, but his words were true. After saying it, Wen Baizhou felt a little sad.
Lu Heng whispered, "Zhouzhou, I want to be with you forever."
"Yes." Wen Baizhou responded in a low voice.
He knew that Lu Heng wanted to be with him, but he knew even more that Lu Heng had been preparing to lose him.
Lu Heng's mother taught him pain, taught him loss, and taught him not to force things. But it didn't teach him how to love someone.
So he was cautious, wanting it but not daring to get close.
"Brother Heng, you have to work harder." Wen Baizhou looked up at him and said, "If you don't hold me firmly, I will tire of my efforts and won't want to work hard anymore." "
Okay." Lu Heng He responded in one breath.
He seemed to want to say something more, but when he raised his eyes, he swallowed all his words: "Brother Yang Tong."
"I found you." Yang Tong walked over with a smile, and he ignored the two people's tightly held hands. , just smiled and said, "Do you have anything going on this afternoon? If nothing happens, I'll come to you if I have something to do."
Wen Baizhou asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's not important." Yang Tong smiled, "Just if nothing happens, , we will deal with it now."
Wen Baizhou thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then let's deal with this matter first. I'm going to the land processing area in the afternoon, but the data is not too urgent. "
The door won't open for another two days. The data is there and can be processed at any time.
"Okay, come with me."
He led the people into the elevator, swiped his fingerprints to check the floor, and then asked, "How was the food today?"
"It was quite delicious." Wen Baizhou said, "It tastes better than before."
Yang Tong said: "Recently, the cafeteria has been organizing people to research new dishes. The old man still remembers the documentary you brought about food. After a year or two of preparation, the food reserves in the bunker are richer. , just broadcast this to everyone."
"Is one or two years enough?" Wen Baizhou was a little surprised, "It seems that the breeding area is developing well?" "
Very good." Yang Tong said softly, "Xiao Heng, go buy it. There was a blanket. That blanket was woven from the hair of curly pigs. Most of the first batch of wool was spun into yarn to make clothes. There were only a few blankets, and the price was set very high. Xiao Heng was the first one willing to buy it."
Wen Baizhou glanced at Lu Heng and saw that Lu Heng's face was tense, but his ears were completely red.
"Then I'll try to see if that blanket is warm later." Wen Baizhou said with a smile, "If it's not warm, Brother Yang Tong, you have to refund the money."
Yang Tong smiled and glanced at the two of them: "Okay.
" As he spoke, the elevator dinged. Yang Tong stepped out of the elevator first and led them through the buffer zone on the second floor, talking and laughing all the way.
Many students in the ground transportation team have already eaten and are waiting for class on the second floor. When they saw the three of them, someone raised their voice and said hello.
They walked in in response to the sound, and as they walked, the number of people gradually disappeared.
Wen Baizhou looked at the passage in front of him, already a little confused.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Go to the nuclear island." Yang Tong didn't hide it. He took the two of them to another elevator. After swiping their fingerprints to enter and exit, what appeared in front of them was a long passage.
This passage is very different from the part of the bunker that was built by itself.
Wen Baizhou couldn't tell what was different, but he only felt that nothing seemed to be the same. Its walls have an old yellow color, and the dim lighting makes it look like a tunnel with nowhere to go.
"It's time to change this lamp." Lu Heng said.
"Someone reported it during the previous maintenance. We have been short of manpower recently and haven't had time to make arrangements." Yang Tong said, "If you return to the team, we will do this in the afternoon."
Lu Heng nodded and said: "Okay."
He seemed to Feeling Wen Baizhou's nervousness, he approached the other party slightly and whispered, "Don't be afraid. This is the way to the fusion reactor."
Wen Baizhou nodded quietly.
After passing through the long corridor, my eyes suddenly became brighter. Behind the corridor is a very high rotunda hall. There are several doors in the hall, and each door has a door number inlaid on it, pointing to the location behind the door.
At this time, several doors were closed, and Qi Mudong was the only one in the hall.
After seeing a few people, Qi Mudong greeted them with a smile: "They're all here."
"Old Qi, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Teacher Qi!" Wen Baizhou raised his hand to say hello, "Why are you here too?"
"I If he wasn't here, you wouldn't be able to enter this door." Qi Mudong said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaotong."
"It's okay, I'll go down first." Yang Tong nodded, turned and left the hall.
After walking out of the door, he even didn't forget to close the door.
Now all the doors in the rotunda were closed, only the light strips embedded around the walls were still on. Wen Baizhou was inexplicably nervous. He looked at Qi Mudong and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Qi, what are you looking for us for?"
Qi Mudong did not answer immediately after hearing this, but took out a key and solemnly handed it to Wen Baizhou. Baizhou: "Zhouzhou, this is the key to the door you came from. You have to keep it."
Wen Baizhou looked down and saw that the key in his hand should be a new one. The entire key is bright and clean, with no traces of use.
"Look at that door again." Qi Mudong pointed to a door not far away. "Open that door and you can go straight to the fusion reactor in the center of the nuclear island. That is the heart of the entire bunker."
Wen Baizhou looked at it Holding the key, I felt even more confused.
"Teacher Qi, is there any crisis in the bunker?" He couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the fusion reactor?"
Qi Mudong laughed when he heard this: "No. If something goes wrong with the fusion reactor, I will definitely keep you away. There is no reason to call you here. In fact, Mr. Yang wanted to call you here today."
As he spoke, he gently patted Wen Baizhou on the shoulder: "How do you go back and forth between home and us? Yes, although Mr. Yang and I have never asked, we probably have some guesses."
He seemed to be afraid of scaring Wen Baizhou, and as he spoke, he spoke softly and slowly, while looking at Wen Baizhou. Bai Zhou's expression. Seeing that Wen Baizhou didn't show any fear, he continued: "Yang is always worried that there will be an accident if you are always going back and forth outside in such an icy and snowy day."
Wen Baizhou was stunned when he heard this.
"The weather here is bad and there are many extreme conditions. Sometimes there are violent storms in the blink of an eye. If you are stuck on the road, it will be an unbearable loss for your parents and us." Qi Mudong said, "Yang The old man just wants to find a safe place for you to travel back and forth. But firstly, it is not easy to say this, and secondly, he is afraid that people's hearts may change."
He looked at the young man in front of him and did not hide his and Yang Qi's guesses: " The passage you enter and exit is probably fixed every time, right? If the location is mastered, it will always be a safety hazard for you." "
So we have been thinking about where to offset this safety hazard."
Qi Mudong He smiled and said, "After thinking about it, there is probably only this place."
The heart of their bunker is a place that only a few people have direct access to.
"Normally, when students are in class, I have to personally lead them over." Qi Mudong said, "During the inspection, they also have to sign in at all levels, and Yang Tong will lead people over. If your passage is opened here, we will feel more at ease when going back and forth." "
"If, I mean if." Qi Mudong said cautiously, "If someone really wants to harm you and you are in a dilemma, you go to the fusion reactor. As long as that person has some estimates, he will not dare to do it in the fusion reactor. How does Duili treat you?"
Wen Baizhou thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.
The width and height of this hall are indeed suitable for his small villa.
More importantly, Brother Heng didn't seem to tell the two old people about the changes in the door.
If someone is greedy and wants to block him here after knowing his location, he can just open the door to another place.
But he truly received the two old men's wishes.
Wen Baizhou opened his hand and gently hugged the gray-haired old man in front of him: "Teacher Qi, thank you."
Qi Mudong said cheerfully: "Thank you for what? This is obviously what we should do."
He reached out and patted him . Wen Baizhou's back: "Good boy, if you are willing, just take the key to enter and exit here. It is much better to go inside the bunker than to take risks outside." "
Okay." Wen Baizhou whispered, " I'll think about it carefully."
"Of course, we can understand if you don't want to." Qi Mudong said, "This is indeed not a very convenient place. But I think it's better to come in and out more secluded than you braving the heavy snow. "
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. Keep the key safe, and we can interact with you however you want in the future. Your Grandpa Yang and I still have the same attitude. We won't interfere."
He patted Wen Baizhou and said, He reached out and patted Lu Heng again: "As long as you do well, your teacher and I have no objections. You have to live your life on your own. As long as you think clearly, no matter what, it will be fine."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and opened the Menle walked out leisurely.
Wen Baizhou looked at Teacher Qi's back, then raised his head to look at Lu Heng. It took a long time before he asked, "Teacher Qi... what did you mean by that just now?"
Lu Heng pursed his lips and remained silent.
Wen Baizhou looked at him without blinking.
After a while, Lu Heng whispered: "The day I came back, the old man guessed that I was with you."
His ears were a little red, but he continued calmly: "Probably, the old man told Teacher Qi."
â 164. Chapter 163 [Two in One]
Chapter 163 [Two in One]
Wen Baizhou really didn't expect that several of Lu Heng's elders would find out so quickly.
He looked at Lu Heng, his face turning red little by little. His eyes seemed to have stars falling into them, making them extraordinarily bright. After a while, Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.
Lu Heng stretched out his hand to touch the corner of his eyes and asked softly: "Unhappy?"
Wen Baizhou shook his head. He had many thoughts in his mind. Looking at Lu Heng in front of him, he thought for a few seconds and decided to say directly: "Brother Heng, You must have thought about it many times, what will you do if I leave you." Lu Heng's heart tightened when he heard this, and then he heard Bai Zhou continue: "Aren't you afraid, if we are really separated, what
will the elders do?"
Even though Lu Heng had thought about this hypothesis thousands of times, he still felt a deep pain when Bai Zhou actually said it.
There were only two of them left in the hall, and Teacher Qi's back had long since disappeared into the depths of the corridor. A stifling silence filled the rotunda.
Lu Heng's whole body tensed up and his lips pursed into a straight line. He lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Baizhou. In an instant, thousands of thoughts passed through his heart, and every trace of them urged him to hide and lock up Wen Baizhou. This way we can live forever.
He suppressed all the dark emotions and said in a hoarse voice: "They are mentally prepared."
Wen Baizhou blinked in surprise.
But then he understood why this was happening. What they faced before them was indeed an insurmountable problem of time and space.
But Wen Baizhou still felt that this was a problem that could be solved by two people working together.
He looked at Lu Heng, who was tense and confused, and sighed for a while, then smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't be angry with you anymore."
He grabbed Lu Heng's hand and talked with him. With their fingers clasped together, there was a relaxed determination in his tone: "Brother Heng, a lifetime is only a few days. We have a long time to come." With
just one glance, the dim wasteland was like light pouring from the sky, and all the gloom in Lu Heng's heart was suddenly swept away. .
He looked into Wen Baizhou's smiling eyes and felt that love was like the tide of Zecheng's stormy season, coming one after another, each wave more turbulent than the last.
"Zhouzhou." He suddenly stretched out his arms tightly around Wen Baizhou's waist, lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice, "Is that okay?"
Before Wen Baizhou could answer, he lowered his head and forced him down.
He has always been the best at learning, and Teacher Zhouzhou's earnest teachings during this period allowed him to skillfully conquer cities and territories the moment their lips touched each other.
His breathing gradually became ambiguous and rapid, and sticky heat seemed to emanate from his body, making the entire hall steam.
"Ugh..." Wen Baizhou's mouth was half-opened. He raised his head and grasped Lu Heng's shoulders impatiently.
The ambiguity between the lips and teeth was as hot as fire, and every entangled breath seemed to be filled with sparks. Those flames competed for the oxygen in his mouth, gradually swallowing up all the air.
Those invisible flames wrapped around him, burning him so hot that he could only hang limply on Lu Heng's body.
Lu Heng hugged him fiercely, as if he wanted to devour him.
The two of them sat next to each other quietly in the silent hall, only the intense heat surged like a tide.
Wen Baizhou was like a fish thirsty for water. He trembled slightly, turned his head to avoid Lu Heng's lips, buried his head in Lu Heng's shoulder and panted violently. His voice was like a kitten whispering: "No more..." "
Zhou Zhou, Zhouzhou..."
Lu Heng couldn't help but peck his ears. Go to the earlobe, open your mouth and bite it gently with your teeth.
Wen Baizhou was shocked. An electric current started to spread from his ears to his whole body in the blink of an eye. Fireworks seemed to explode in his eyes. He tightened his fingers suddenly, whimpered unbearably, and hummed softly: "Don't bite..."
"Okay, don't bite." Lu Heng licked his earlobe, coaxing him to raise his head, and kept whispering Kiss Baizhou's cheeks and corners of his mouth. It took him a long time to suppress the raging emotions in his body.
Lu Heng gently rubbed the tip of Wen Baizhou's nose with the tip of his nose: "Zhou Zhou."
Wen Bai Zhou hooked him vaguely and gasped: "Brother Heng..."
"I like you." Lu Heng kissed him. The corner of his mouth said, "I like you..."
As he kissed her, his lips, teeth and breath intertwined again.
Wen Baizhou was so weak that his breathing was trembling. He could only stand on the spot relying on Lu Heng's support: "There is still business..." "
Yes." Lu Heng responded in a low voice, but did not let go, " Hug him for a while."
"No more kissing."
Lu Heng kissed his ear and said, "Okay."
Obviously the person who liked kissing and hugging the most was Wen Baizhou himself, but after Lu Heng learned how to teach, he couldn't resist it at all.
His whole body was hot and limp as he hung on Lu Heng's body. The two of them stood there holding each other tightly for a long time before the rapid heat seemed to slowly fade away.
"It's time to get down to business." Wen Baizhou gently poked Lu Heng's waist with the key given to him by Teacher Qi, "You can't cheat."
Lu Heng held him tightly, and after a while he let go. Wen Baizhou took his hand and said, "Okay, let me take you here first to identify the door."
Several doors lead to different places, including those going to the computer room, and those going to the upper and lower floors of the fusion reactor. . He took Wen Baizhou to look around one by one. When he walked to the computer room, he registered Wen Baizhou's fingerprints and gave him elevator permission.
The last two people slowly walked towards the fusion reactor.
The fusion reactor that has been built is a huge metal sphere, suspended in mid-air, with connected pipes above and below. Although Wen Baizhou had been studying for a long time, he could not see any more wonders when looking at this fusion device.
He walked around it before leaving the nuclear island hand in hand with Lu Heng.
Taking the elevator back to the first floor of the bunker, Lu Heng followed Wen Baizhou to the lobby on the first floor. Wen Baizhou shook the hands that the two held together: "Okay, I'm going to work."
Lu Heng held him and didn't let go. He looked at Wen Baizhou with his eyes fixedly and said softly: "How about we go back and move?" Okay?"
Wen Baizhou glanced at the land treatment area not far away.
"We don't have much stuff, so we have time to go back to work after moving." Lu Heng came closer to him, "When the time comes, just come down and work. I'll find Yang Tong to check out of the dormitory, and then go up and change the lights in the corridor." "We
still need quilts. "Wen Baizhou said, "You have to go to the vehicle management area, find the car, take out our quilts and put them away. There is only one blanket, which is not enough for two people."
Lu Heng's eyes were soft: "Okay, I will listen to you."
The two of them diverted to the elevator hall and returned to the tenth floor to start moving.
Obviously it was Lu Heng who had lived here for more than ten years, but as soon as he packed his things, Wen Baizhou discovered that his own things were much more than Lu Heng's.
In addition to the usual clothes, there are also many pens and notebooks, many spare mobile phones, and even a large bag of uneaten self-heating food and candy.
His own packaging couldn't fit in, so even Fenrir put on a tactical backpack to help him pack small items.
But there was only one package of items at Lu Heng's place.
The first time I went to Lu Heng's room, I always felt that he didn't have any personal belongings. It was not an illusion.
Apart from the down jacket prepared by Yan Feng, Lu Heng had almost no other cold-proof clothing. Wen Baizhou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he saw Lu Heng packed everything in a tactical backpack.
"What's wrong?" Lu Heng was carrying his own bag and then picked up Wen Baizhou's bag. "Is there anything else you want to take away?"
Wen Baizhou shook his head: "No more for now."
The two took the elevator back. On the first floor, I changed the elevator to the third floor.
The high and bright view of the new room is indeed much more comfortable than the tenth floor underground. Wen Baizhou stood by the window and couldn't help but said: "It would be great if everyone could live on the ground in the future..."
He thought seriously for a moment and felt that modular construction methods could actually be used to build a huge ground building. It doesn't seem impossible.
But there is no Qingluan in Yicheng, and it even lacks enough construction machinery. If we rely solely on manpower, we don't know how long it will take to successfully build it.
This is obviously inappropriate and unreasonable for the current Yicheng.
Lu Heng also knew that this idea would not work. He gently patted Wen Baizhou's back and said, "I'm going to the management area to pick up things."
Upon hearing this, Wen Baizhou quickly said, "Let's go together."
Since they started transporting supplies in 2025, their tanks have been registered separately. Placed in a dedicated small garage. Lu Heng swiped his fingerprints at the entrance of the management area to confirm the permissions with the staff before leading Wen Baizhou inside.
Once the exchange season is over, most of the vehicles are parked safely in the management area. There are many pipelines in the management area, the light is dark, and special vehicles of various sizes are parked in sequence, giving Wen Baizhou the feeling of driving in an underground garage.
"Will it break down if the car is left unused for a long time?" Wen Baizhou asked curiously, "Is it okay to leave it for half a year?"
"It won't be left forever. The courses of the Automobile Repair Department and the Transportation Department are conducted throughout the year. We will transfer the cars one by one to be used as teaching cars." Lu Heng said, "Go through the wall and walk for a while to get to the bunker. That section of the road is the route for driving training in winter."
"So that's it. I didn't even notice it. "Wen Baizhou said, "I haven't seen any cars in the land treatment area."
"They won't drive that way."
The two chatted and soon walked to the special garage. Lu Heng swiped his fingerprint to open the door and saw that the two chariots had been cleaned and were parked there quietly.
He took the key and opened the trunk, jumped in and started to get the bedding. But I saw that Bai Zhou also opened the passenger door and was getting something.
After Lu Heng bundled up the bedding and closed the trunk, Wen Baizhou also walked up to him with a bunch of things: "Let's go up."
Wen Baizhou was holding shopping bags from several shopping malls.
Those shopping bags were specially brought by Wen Baizhou when he changed cars this time. The packaging and quantity were the same ones that Wen Baizhou brought back from outside on the day they agreed to open them.
But Wen Baizhou never said what was in the shopping bag.
Lu Heng didn't ask either.
He stared down at the shopping bags for several seconds before nodding and taking Wen Baizhou out of the small garage and back to his new room on the third floor.
The snow-white duvet and rippled wool blanket were laid out on the bed, and even the pillow Lu Heng specially brought down.
Two small round pillows were placed side by side. Just looking at them, Lu Heng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He stood by the bed without moving when he heard Wen Baizhou calling him: "Brother Heng, are you done? Then come quickly!" Upon
hearing this, Lu Heng turned around and left the bedroom a few steps and walked to Wen Baizhou's side, asking softly : "What's wrong?"
"Come and try on clothes!" Wen Baizhou smiled and unfolded a piece of clothing in front of him, "Sure enough, the size is right, you can definitely wear it."
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at him with a smile. Zhouzhou couldn't hide his surprise: "You bought it for me?"
"Of course." Wen Baizhou said proudly, "When I saw it, I thought it would look good on you, so I couldn't hold it back and bought a little too much. ."
He stood in the specialty store that day and looked at the clothes, but what came to his mind was the scene when Wen Zijin exchanged Lu Heng and Yu Xingye's old clothes for new clothes.
Yu Xingye always showed his emotions, and he was even happier when he received the new clothes than when he saw the food.
He had forgotten Lu Heng's reaction that day, but whenever he remembered Yu Xingye's ecstasy at that time, he wanted to take back all the clothes suitable for Lu Heng.
On the floor of the living room, the opened shopping bags were scattered everywhere, and almost all the contents had been taken out. There are clothes to keep warm and cold, as well as matching clothing.
Lu Heng looked at the clothes that had not yet had their dust bags removed and couldn't help but said, "Actually, I don't use it..." "
It does." Wen Baizhou interrupted him and said seriously, "I want to see you wear it. Wear it." Let me see."
Lu Heng pursed his lips, took the clothes without saying a word, turned around and entered the bedroom.
Wen Baizhou picked up another set of clothes with a smile, and after Lu Heng came out after changing his clothes, he handed it to him again.
Lu Heng worked hard as a clothing model, and Wen Baizhou praised every outfit.
That's really nice.
Lu Heng was already good-looking. He was tall and thin, but he was not that skinny. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and you can see the thin layer of muscles on his body when he takes off his clothes. When needed, those muscle layers will explode with powerful force.
Thinking of the unfinished painting at home, Wen Baizhou suddenly felt that he would definitely paint a lot of portraits in the future.
Every inch of his exclusive model was so perfect, so beautiful that he wanted to record every inch of it...
After changing into the last outfit, Lu Heng opened the door and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the clothes in Wen Baizhou's hands.
"Thank you Zhouzhou." He whispered, "But it's a little too much."
"Not much." Wen Baizhou said, "If we want to live together, we can't open the closet and only have my clothes, right?"
He smiled and took Lu Heng's hand: "It would be like a family if both of us had our daily necessities together."
Lu Heng listened to him quietly, but his fingers suddenly felt cold.
He looked down and saw a platinum gold ring on his ring finger.
"Actually, this was the highlight of that day." Wen Baizhou lowered his eyes and said, "My friend, Lu Chuwen, is a very unconventional guy. I talked to him for a long time that day and listened to his stories for a long time, but which one No story has a happy ending."
He said and laughed: "I thought, this won't work, I have to find something to trap you first. After buying clothes, I walked to the first floor and saw several jewelry stores. . When I saw this ring, I felt that everything was God's will."
He raised his face and smiled slyly at Lu Heng: "Brother Heng, if you put on my ring, you are mine."
Lu Heng lowered his head . Looking at the platinum gold ring, there is a hollow floral "W" on the flat interface. Through the hollow W, he could see his skin.
Under Zhouzhou's name is his flesh and blood.
At this moment, the blood all over Lu Heng's body seemed to be burning.
The frozen layers in my heart were broken, and bright red hot magma flowed in the gray wasteland.
He reached out and grabbed Wen Baizhou's hand, gently pinched Zhouzhou's fingertips: "Where's yours?" he asked.
"I didn't see L." Wen Baizhou said, "I don't care, I'll buy one to trap you first." "
Okay." Lu Heng nodded solemnly and responded, "I will always be yours."
The sky slowly turned dark. After coming down, the lights in the special planting area gradually dimmed as the sky darkened.
Like the sun setting in the west.
The bustling bunker gradually became quiet. It slowly entered the dream in the darkness.
My first sleep in my new home, I slept extremely well. When the light from the special planting area penetrated the room through the glass window like the sun, Wen Baizhou opened his eyes drowsily and met a pair of black eyes.
Lu Heng didn't know how long he had been awake. He looked at the sleeping Wen Baizhou in the dim light coming from the window.
Seeing Zhouzhou open his eyes, Lu Heng lowered his head slightly and kissed his forehead gently: "Are you awake?"
Wen Baizhou closed his eyes and nodded. He nuzzled into Lu Heng's arms before raising his head. Kissed Lu Heng on the lips.
"This is called a good morning kiss." He opened his eyes and smiled, "Good morning, Brother Heng."
"Good morning," Lu Heng bowed his head and kissed, "It's my turn, Zhou Zhou."
...
Back to the small villa At that time, almost at the first sight of them, Yan Feng discovered that the relationship between the two children was different.
He hesitantly stared at Wen Baizhou for a long time before deciding to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not notice.
"Is it okay to go back and forth this time?" he asked.
"No problem." Wen Baizhou said happily, "Mr. Yang found a place for me to open the door in the bunker. It will be much easier to enter and exit in the future."
They have now moved to the third floor, which has fewer people. We went directly to Nuclear Island from the third floor and met almost no one along the way.
Yan Feng remembered it in his heart, and then looked at Yu Xingye again: "The doctor is already in place. Let's check first when he comes back."
Yu Xingye walked out of the car slowly with a cane. After hearing what he said, he nodded honestly. : "Sorry to trouble you."
He has been in the bunker these days. Although he is doing rehabilitation honestly, he obviously feels that his recovery is not very good. After getting out of the car and changing his clothes, he went directly into the examination room.
Several other people also followed and went for routine examinations.
After Wen Baizhou left the examination room, he first went to Building 1 to submit information to everyone, and then talked with Yan Feng in detail about opening the door in 2099.
After Yan Feng listened, he nodded: "That is indeed a good place. The core confidential location can indeed ensure your safety to the greatest extent. How is Yang Qi's health?" "
I came back with a new inspection report. " Wen Baizhou said, "The blood sample has also been handed over to the doctor. We won't know until Professor He reads it." "
I hope the vaccine will be effective on him." Yan Feng said, "I'm back this time, Yicheng's large-scale vaccination It's time to make arrangements. When you are ready to go back, I will bring the vaccine to you." When
he mentioned the vaccine, he thought again: "There are also some breakthroughs in lymphoma and leukemia. Especially leukemia, I don't have it. I understand medical things, but I heard that certain cells were extracted from the snake you brought back last time, which allowed these two research teams to make a key breakthrough." "
Really?!" Wen Baizhou His eyes lit up, "That's great!"
"Thanks to you." Yan Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Although that snake is very useful, it's better not to happen again. It's best not to encounter it again in the future. "
Wen Baizhou laughed as he listened.
The news was so good that he couldn't help but be happy when he returned to the small villa.
"It's really good news." Lian Sheng also sighed, "If there is a vaccine, many people can be saved."
Not to mention their Yicheng area, the incidence of leukemia and lymphoma is high in Zecheng. Otherwise, Zecheng's hospital ship would not focus on these diseases.
"If the research is done and there are enough, I will apply to give you a batch first. Then..." Wen Baizhou thought for a while, "We can go back and see Qingluan."
Lian Sheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Ye Chi was a little anxious: "Let's not talk about things that haven't been researched yet. I don't know how long it will take from the breakthrough to the time it can be injected. But can we have our turn now when we have developed a lung cancer vaccine?"
"Don't be anxious." Wen Bai Zhou said, "I made an agreement with Lieutenant General Yan that I will take the vaccine with me when I go back this time. When I go back, I will organize the entire base to be vaccinated. In addition, there is also bunker No. 13. I may have to ask Teacher Qi to help. I will directly Take the vaccine, Mr. Chen will definitely be suspicious."
"That person..." Ye Chi sneered, "Don't say you make him suspicious, if Mr. Qi contacts him, he will probably be suspicious. I don't recommend that you send the vaccine directly. "
There is no rush in Bunker 13." Lu Heng said, "Each survivor base has different personalities and different behavior styles. If you want everyone in Bunker 13 to be vaccinated, the best way is to let 13 No. 1 bunker will come to you."
Vaccines are not the glue that binds the soil. With Chen Du's suspicious temperament, he would rather have a disease inside the bunker than have anyone injected with something of unknown origin.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and had already made up his mind: "Next transportation season... let the people in the transportation team chat more with the people in their bunker."
Wen Baizhou thought for a while and nodded: "Three people make a tiger. , If you talk too much, they will always be willing to exchange a batch back first."
But what is more important right now is the vaccination in Bunker 01.
Bunker No. 01 is one of the largest bunkers in Yicheng, and the population it supports is not comparable to that of the Zecheng Ship City.
The underground structure is broad enough and deep enough to support a population of nearly 200,000 in the past few decades. This is almost more than the permanent population of some small counties.
The vaccination of 200,000 people can easily go wrong if it is not done properly.
This time, outside the door is the lobby of the nuclear island. It is not suitable to drive there in such a situation. So Yan Feng arranged a quantity trolley, and boxes of vaccines were pushed out on the trolley one after another and piled up in the hall.
Yang Tong stayed aside to check and register.
All members of the transport team have been vaccinated and have not had any adverse reactions in the past few months.
So the second batch of vaccines was tentatively given to young students in various departments and departments.
Yang Tong notified the doctor in an orderly manner, and informed everyone of the vaccination arrangements via the bunker radio.
People had already heard about the lung cancer vaccine from the transport team, but they couldn't wait for it, so they thought it was only for ground workers.
Although they were disappointed, they also understood. After all, ground work is really hard and dangerous.
But when the radio was suddenly heard, even the kitchen fell silent for a moment.
"Secretary Xiao Yang, what are you talking about?"
"Say yes, say it's vaccination!" said a young chef apprentice, "We have it too! We'll go to the medical floor in three days!"
Everyone in the kitchen looked at each other, and then suddenly A exclamation broke out.
The chefs were in a state of excitement and screamed one after another.
The middle-aged chef looked at his sweaty apprentice, looked at him and laughed: "Okay, then in three days, everyone will go when the time is up!"
â 165. Chapter 164 [Two in One]
Chapter 164 [Two-in-one]
Vaccination of the whole bunker is a big event for Yicheng No. 01 bunker.
They are no better than Zecheng Ship Market.
There are several times as many survivors living in the bunker as there are in the ship market, and there is no all-powerful AI like Qingluan in the bunker that can control everything with one hand.
But fortunately, there is no shortage of capable builders in the bunker.
These 200,000 people were divided by Yang Tong into light, heavy, old and weak in each department. Except for the first batch of ground staff who had been vaccinated, the departments most likely to be exposed to radiation in other departments were the first echelon. Divide down in order. Two hundred thousand people were divided into forty batches.
At the same time, even the doctors on the medical floor have re-scheduled their shifts.
He divided the doctors into three parts, one part was still responsible for treating patients, the other part was responsible for injecting vaccines, and the two parts of doctors changed shifts. The last part was the doctors who had finished the first two rounds of tasks. Yang Tong asked them to rest.
In this way, for the next forty days, both Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng were busy with this matter.
The ground transportation team had already completed the injections, so on the day of vaccination, Lu Heng led people to the medical floor to maintain order.
At the same time, the ground transportation team must seize the window period in the cold winter and inspect and repair the exterior of the bunker during this period. Therefore, the ground transportation team was also divided into two parts, one part was responsible for order maintenance, and the other part was responsible for bunker inspection. Rotate every two days.
When Wen Baizhou was transporting the vaccine, he followed the doctors in the small villa for emergency training on injection techniques for several days. He had originally learned how to inject epinephrine, but now he was improvising to learn intramuscular injection. Once he had the basics, it wasn't that difficult to get started.
The young couple who have just started living together can only see each other every day before going to bed. After exchanging goodnight kisses while feeling sleepy, it was time to get back to work as soon as I opened my eyes.
There are also mandatory rest days on the medical floor, and the ground transportation team has to compete with the weather to maintain order. This is their rest day.
On a rare day off, Wen Baizhou had to rush to the land treatment area and breeding area. He wants to collect data and information, as well as the difficulties encountered by the staff. If he can solve it, he will solve it on the spot. If he can't solve it, he will have to wait for free days to take the data back to the small villa and see what the professors say.
Occasionally, Wen Baizhou would go to the medical floor to stay for a day, accompanying Yang Qi and visiting Lu Heng.
"What we are analyzing now is that your idea is feasible. If the soil treated with land adhesive can be spread all over the perimeter of the bunker, the nutrients contained in the land can allow plants to grow." Wen Baizhou said while Yang Qi peeled an apple and said, "But our current difficulties are not limited to the land."
Yang Qi had a bad appetite recently, and he seemed a little uncomfortable with the new medicine He Xulin gave him. I always feel nauseous after taking new medicine. Wen Baizhou brought him several fruit baskets from the small villa, hoping to use these things to improve his appetite.
"Don't be in a hurry. I know there are still many problems before us, and this kind of thing cannot be completed overnight. But in the end, it is good to pave the way for others in the future." Yang Qi looked at Wen Baizhou with kind eyes. Always smiling.
Wen Baizhou nodded and said, "Professor Li has read the information and tested it. Although land adhesives can enhance the soil's ability to lock in fertilizer, given the current acid rain situation, the land will still regenerate over time. Desertification. His idea is to specially prepare a neutralizer based on the situation of acid rain."
"As long as the soil nutrients are not lost...one day..."
Yang Qi turned his subsequent words into a long sigh, and then He smiled again and took the small piece of apple handed to him by Wen Baizhou: "Although I can't see the day when the blue sky and white clouds come back again, with you here, I believe our children will see that day." There was
a lot of noise outside the house . The sound came through the closed door.
The people waiting in line for the vaccine were particularly excited. Even if they consciously lowered their voices, it was still very lively when a large group of people gathered together.
Yang Qi followed the excitement and slowly ate the apple chunks in his hand.
"Zhouzhou, I hope you can see that day for me." Yang Qi looked at Wen Baizhou with a smile, "No matter whether Xiaoheng is still with you on that day. I hope you, who brought about all these changes, can see it with your own eyes." I see hope of returning to this continent."
Wen Baizhou felt nervous and embarrassed. He lowered his head pretending to be calm, peeled another small piece of apple and handed it to Yang Qi, and then said: "Don't worry, there is no reason to only do half of the work. Like you, I am looking forward to the day when the blue sky and white clouds return.
" After more than forty days, when everyone rested, the bunker had been turned into pure white by the continuous snowstorm.
When Wen Baizhou woke up, he saw Lu Heng standing by the window, wondering what he was doing.
The room was dimly lit, and he shouted in a daze: "Brother Heng."
Lu Heng turned around after hearing this, walked to the bed and kissed him before saying, "Are you awake?"
"What are you doing?" Wen Baizhou She rubbed him with her eyes closed, and there was unbearable sleepiness in her voice.
"There's a lot of snow on the windows," Lu Heng said. "When the wind and snow stop, you have to find time to clean it up."
Living in an above-ground fortress is much more troublesome than living underground. Although the thick walls are enough to insulate, the snow on the windows must be dealt with by oneself. During the rainy season, you also have to pay attention to the anti-corrosion coatings on windows and window sills.
Wen Baizhou closed his eyes and fumbled for his coat. Seeing this, Lu Heng took the coat and put it on him. After Wen Baizhou was wrapped up obediently, he opened the quilt and jumped out of bed.
When he walked to the window, he realized that the snow outside their window had almost completely submerged the window. The window glass was as cold as ice. When he touched it with his fingers, a biting chill rushed down his fingertips to his forehead. Wen Baizhou was so cold that he shuddered and woke up completely.
"It's winter..." Wen Baizhou looked at Lu Heng, "Let's go home!" In
a month and a half, the autumn of Yujing has already dragged its long tail away. Winter has arrived belatedly with the first snow.
When they returned to the cottage, the first snow had just ended. A light layer of snowflakes accumulated on the villa and in the yard.
"It's snowing here too." Lian Sheng looked around, "But fortunately, it's not too cold." "
The coldest time here is not as cold as yours." Wen Baizhou said, "Come back Rest first. If you want to go back to the bunker, you can go back by yourself. I have some things to do."
"I'll wait for you at home." Lu Heng said.
Wen Baizhou hugged him and rubbed him, then quickly left the small villa.
He first handed all the information to the laboratory in Building 1, and then went straight to the big villa without looking back.
Someone cleans the big villa every day. No matter when he comes over, the windows inside are bright and clean. He turned on the light in the living room, but no one stayed in the living room. Instead, he grabbed various painting tools and rushed straight to the painting corner in the big garden.
Sitting on the swing in the painting corner, he could see the small flowers that bloomed in winter were weighed down by the snow, the dry and withered branches were covered with silver by the snow, and the withered duckweed floating in the dark green pool became dry. The snow is white, it is like a pile of snow, and it is like a flower. Printed with the winter sky light, reflecting a small glow.
Wen Baizhou buried his head in painting.
His "Summer in the Small Garden" sold for a whopping five million, but instead of painting autumn, he skipped autumn and started painting winter.
He painted flowers bent down by the snow, branches crowded with snow, pure white snow, and the light shining on the snow.
Finally, after these things, he used a lot of colors and painted a fortress with thick walls.
The fortress stands at the foot of the mountain, among countless flowers and trees. Light shines from the transparent glass room, illuminating the snow-covered city walls.
This is the winter of 2025 and the winter of 2099.
It is full of snow, but there is no shortage of flowers. The sky is dark, but there is still light illuminating everything.
On the day when the painting was almost finished, it snowed again in Yujing. Wen Baizhou put his last strokes outdoors despite the snow, and then hurriedly rushed into the villa holding the frame and painting tools.
The big villa was bright and empty. When he stood in the living room and looked around, all he saw were his own paintings.
Wen Baizhou looked at each one carefully, and finally turned his attention to "Winter" placed by the wall. He examined it with a critical eye for a long time, then proudly took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to Lu Mao. .
Lu Mao's news came back very quickly.
"You painted winter! Where is autumn!"
He directly sent a voice message, followed by another: "Quick! Give me the painting quickly! I'll go get the boss for you!" "
Forget this one. ." Wen Baizhou said, "I don't plan to sell it."
After hearing what he said, Lu Mao said without hesitation: "That's okay. I really want to keep a few of my favorite works. Shall I frame them for you? By the way? Can you give me a scanned copy? I'll hang it in the gallery."
"Okay. I'll take a photo and send it to you later." Wen Baizhou said, "I wish you a Happy New Year in advance. I will probably go into seclusion in the New Year. You can't find me. "Yes."
Lu Mao's voice was full of helplessness: "I'm in seclusion again... God of Wealth, you just finished painting a masterpiece, so resting won't do anything good."
"Resting is a waste of my inspiration." Wen Baizhou said .
He was lying on the sofa in the big villa, looking at his new work, while chatting with Lu Mao.
Another long voice note was sent over. Wen Baizhou opened it casually and heard Lu Mao say: "Although I don't know what you have experienced during this period. But looking at your recent painting, your state of mind is There have been great changes. Although the painting depicts winter, it is full of soft and uplifting emotions. It is much more peaceful and delicate than your summer. I wish you well, Zhouzhou."
Wen Baizhou was stunned when he heard this, and he turned to look After a long time, he arched his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction in his winter picture.
Outside the window, the snow is like goose feathers, falling freely.
They fell into an unusually quiet place, but they accumulated a thick layer in the blink of an eye.
Step by step, Wen Baizhou brought the canvas wrapped in white cloth back to the small villa.
Yu Xingye, who was holding the stairs up and down in the living room, raised his head and saw him, and was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Wen Baizhou was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't I come back for many days?"
"Brother Heng and Lian were there this morning. Sheng left first, and I thought you would follow him." Yu Xingye said casually, "The door is probably closed now, and you have to wait three days to get there."
"Ah..." Wen Baizhou put down the canvas in a daze. "Is it today?"
Lu Heng told him before that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is an unprecedented year in the bunker. This year, both Mr. Yang and Teacher Qi want to hold some celebration activities.
Wen Baizhou was very happy at the time and immediately expressed his intention to celebrate together, but...
"Did I forget?" Wen Baizhou stood at the door at a loss, never expecting that Lu Heng didn't tell him?
"No. They will definitely remind you on the right day. Brother Heng is such a reliable person." Yu Xingye walked to the sofa, grinning in pain and beckoning him to sit down.
"Don't worry. They probably had something to do and there were not enough manpower, so they went back to help first. What did you draw, little ancestor?"
"Drawed winter." Wen Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the sofa and sat down, found the remote control and asked, "What do you want to watch?"
"Watch whatever you want."
Yu Xingye had no interest in ghost movies and was not picky about TV programs at all. He watched Wen Baizhou change Several stations were filled with lively interviews and celebrations. Looking at it, he felt a little homesick.
"It's so lively here." He whispered, "The Chinese New Year is in a few days, how are you doing here?" "
A lot of activities." Wen Baizhou said, "Different cities have different customs and Arrangement, but everyone who can go home on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month will go home. Everyone will reunite with their families at home. Then we will have dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala together." "
Spring Festival Gala! I know!" Yu Xingye became excited, "I watched it when I was a child I read a book and said that the Spring Festival Gala is an indispensable form of celebration for you, and everyone is proud of the Spring Festival Gala."
"No." Wen Baizhou smiled and shook his head, "A TV program does not have such a lofty status. The most important thing is What is indispensable is time with family, so let's just play the Spring Festival Gala as background music."
He handed the remote control to Yu Xingye: "You will be able to see it in a few days."
Yu Xingye took the remote control, But he didn't answer immediately. He changed the TV channels aimlessly, and after a while he said: "Little ancestor, when the door opens, I want to go back first."
Wen Baizhou looked at him after hearing this, and saw Yu Xingye He smiled and said, "It's rare for us to have such a festive day in the bunker. I don't want to miss it. You said you would be with your family during the New Year, and I want to go back."
"Okay." Wen Baizhou said without hesitation, "Wait until the door opens. The time is up, I'll go back with you."
Yu Xingye was a little surprised: "You... aren't you celebrating the New Year at home?"
Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "I'm more greedy! I don't want to miss anything, so I'll wait until New Year's Eve Come back."
Having the door open is a very convenient thing in the bunker. When it was time to open the door, Yu Xingye was riding in a wheelchair, with Wen Baizhou's new paintings carefully tied on the back of the chair, and was pushed back to the bunker by Wen Baizhou.
It was obviously just a time to draw a picture, but it felt completely different when I returned to the bunker.
The old Fortress of Doom has a lot more red. The red comes from the couplets, from the lanterns, and from the hanging red silk.
As the two of them went down, lanterns were hung in front of the main passages on each floor, and couplets written on red paper were pasted on the door of each department's office. They returned to the third floor, Yu Xingye went to hide the wheelchair, and Wen Baizhou moved the painting back home first.
As soon as he placed the painting in the corner, the door to the room was pushed open.
Lu Heng looked at Wen Baizhou in the room and stood there in shock: "Zhou Zhou? Why are you back?"
Wen Baizhou clapped his hands and turned around, humming to him: "You are gone, I Can't you come back?"
"That day I went to the backyard door and saw the words Yang Tong left on the blackboard. The bunker wanted a batch of red cloth. I thought it was a small matter. It's more important for you to draw, so I'll just tell you." Lu Heng walked over and hugged his waist, explaining in a low voice.
Ever since Wen Baizhou set the entrance and exit door inside the bunker, Teacher Qi placed a blackboard in the rotunda. If there is an emergency, write on the blackboard. So Luheng would go to the backyard and take a look through the door every day.
"I originally planned to go back to the villa after delivering the cloth. But the old man was a little unwell, so he was delayed." Lu Heng added softly.
Wen Baizhou was stunned when he heard this: "What's wrong with the old man?"
Lu Heng put his face on his head and shook his head gently: "It's said to be a drug reaction, but..."
But what, they both knew it. .
Yang Qi has become thinner and thinner in the past few months and eats less and less. The nutrients his body needs are all maintained by high-protein injections. Once a person's nutrition cannot keep up, the body will easily collapse. Not to mention he was already very weak.
Lu Heng gradually tightened his hold on Wen Baizhou.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. We all have special medicines. Maybe the old man needs to get used to it for a while." Wen Baizhou said quickly, "I'm going to see the old man. Brother Heng, take the painting."
The two of them took the painting and hurriedly said He hurriedly rushed to the medical floor.
The medical community has lost a large number of vaccinated people and has become very quiet again. The two quietly opened Yang Qi's door, looked for a spot on the wall of the lounge, and then took out iron nails and started hammering them into the wall.
As soon as the first hammer fell, Yang Qi woke up: "Xiao Heng?"
His tone was vague, and he looked a little weak.
"Teacher." Lu Heng quickly put down the hammer, "Did I disturb you?"
Yang Qi shook his head: "What are you doing?" He braced himself and slowly raised his head. When he saw Wen Baizhou, he woke up: "Zhouzhou is here."
Wen Baizhou quickly walked to his bedside: "Grandpa Yang, I'm back."
Yang Qi reached out and touched his hair: "Be good. There is nothing to do in the bunker, why don't you stay at home? Stay with your family."
"I miss you, I have to come and see you." Wen Baizhou smiled and said, "How are you feeling now?"
"Don't worry about me." Yang Qi just said, "You guys take good care of yourselves. Just be good to yourself, don't worry about me."
"What are you talking about? We're worried that you won't bother." Wen Baizhou helped him sit up half-sit up, "I want to come back in a hurry, and I also have a gift to bring. You."
"Oh?" Yang Qi laughed cooperatively, "What good things did our Zhouzhou bring me again?"
Wen Baizhou said softly, "You will know when Brother Heng has installed it."
Lu Heng said After hammering the nails in, he squatted down to unwrap the painting wrapped in white cloth. After taking it apart, he didn't even bother to look at the content of the painting before hanging it up.
But Yang Qi was sitting on the bed and saw it at first sight.
He looked at the painting intently and held Wen Baizhou's hand tightly: "Zhouzhou, where are my glasses? Can you help me find where my glasses have gone?"
Wen Baizhou quickly looked around. , didn't find it on the bedside, and reached under the pillow: "Here."
He handed the glasses to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi put on the glasses with trembling hands.
The things in the field of vision instantly became extremely clear.
He saw the painting clearly, he saw his bunker surrounded by flowers, he saw the dark clouds dissipating overhead. Seeing that even if the world is covered by blizzards, there is still an unyielding will.
He watched Lu Heng carefully hang up the painting, and then carefully stepped away.
"Zhouzhou..." Yang Qi squeezed Wen Baizhou's hand, "You, what a pity..."
He stared at the painting intently, his vision gradually blurred by tears: "What a pity."
Lu Heng hurriedly walked over half way She hugged Yang Qi and supported his body: "Teacher, don't get excited."
Yang Qi closed his eyes and shook his head.
"It's not a pity, Grandpa Yang." Wen Baizhou held his hand and said seriously, "All creations must be based on life. No matter how talented you are, you can't express it without experience and insights. You must not get into trouble."
" Zhouzhou, you are a good boy." Yang Qi held his hand with tears in his eyes, so hard that his whole hand was shaking, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work." "It's
not hard. I see everything is getting better. , is the best reward I can get." Wen Baizhou leaned down and hugged him, "Grandpa Yang, don't be excited. I didn't give you a gift to make you sad." "
I'm not sad, not sad. Yang Qi whispered, "I'm so excited. I didn't expect... that I would be able to see such a scene in my lifetime."
He had seen this scene countless times in his midnight dreams, and he could not forget it even in his sleep. The blueprint was placed in front of him.
"This is just a lie, it is our common wish." Wen Baizhou whispered, "You have to persist, sooner or later we will see the truth. When the dark clouds begin to dissipate, we will go outside the bunker together, Plant the first tree and the first flower."
Yang Qi kept crying and nodded vigorously when he heard the words.
The two of them hugged him from left to right and comforted him with gentle words for a long time. Yang Qicai fell asleep out of energy.
After leaving the ward, Wen Baizhou said apologetically: "Brother Heng, I'm sorry, I just wanted the old man to take a look... I didn't expect..."
Lu Heng stopped, leaned over and hugged him: "I know You want to fulfill the old man's wish. It's not your fault, no need to apologize."
Wen Baizhou rubbed his face sideways and said, "Don't be sad either."
"Okay, I'm not sad," Lu Heng said.
Yang Qi has been very calm since he was diagnosed.
He was making arrangements for his funeral in an orderly manner. Handling over work and cultivating successors without telling everyone seems to be a calm acceptance of destiny.
But Lu Heng knew that he had regrets in his heart.
He misses the blue sky and white clouds in his heart, and never forgets his old hometown. He spends his whole life never being able to see it again.
Wen Baizhou's painting made up for Yang Qi's regrets and aroused his will.
"Zhouzhou, you are here. The old man has seen hope." Lu Heng whispered, "With hope, he may have more desire to survive." As long as a
person has a strong desire to survive, he has the ability to attract miracles. the power of.
"Well..." Wen Baizhou nodded slightly.
â 166. Chapter 165 first update
In the first update of Chapter 165,
the hopeful picture "Winter in the Bunker" hung quietly in Yang Qi's room. The hanging position allows Yang Qi to see the bunker full of flowers every day when he opens his eyes.
Yang Tong pushed the door open and happened to see Yang Qi staring at the door in trance.
Hearing the noise, Yang Qi came back to his senses, looked at Yang Tong and said kindly: "I'm back."
"I'm back. Teacher, what are you looking at?" Yang Tong walked towards Yang Qi as he spoke, and turned back after speaking. At first glance, the brightly colored paintings are particularly powerful in his career.
Yang Tong's head full of work suddenly stopped, and he just stared at the painting in a daze.
Yang Qi said cheerfully: "Doesn't it look good?"
"Xiao Wen's painting?" Yang Tong sighed as if waking up from a dream, "It's really good."
"Yes, it's really good." Yang Qi said with a smile, "Prepare for the Spring Festival celebrations How's it going?"
"It's almost done. Teacher Qi is very meticulous in his work." Yang Tong hurriedly walked to him, "You have to eat well, everyone will be waiting for you on the Spring Festival." "
Yes." Yang Qi smiled. He nodded and said, "This is our first serious Spring Festival, I can't miss it. You can get me some soup later, and I'll take the medicine after eating the soup."
Seeing that he was in good spirits, Yang Tong immediately took action.
Perhaps it was the painting that aroused Yang Qi's fighting spirit, or maybe Yang Qi gradually adapted to He Xulin's new medicine. Yang Qi's spirit slowly recovered.
Three days flew by.
Early on New Year's Eve, there was already a strong atmosphere of celebration in the bunker.
Breakfast is the rare pork porridge and steamed buns. The thick white porridge is filled with distinct pieces of pork. Paired with oily noodles, just smelling it from a distance will make you salivate.
Unfortunately, the bunker also provided protein milk as a breakfast drink. Although the protein milk is thinly soaked, its light milky and sweet taste makes it a rare delicacy in the bunker.
Almost everyone who came to have breakfast had a cup in hand, and their eyes and hearts were overflowing with happiness.
Just when they thought that was it for the day, lunch turned out to be even more sumptuous than breakfast.
The staple food for lunch is steamed rice with potatoes, taro and vegetable cubes. As soon as it comes out of the hot pot, the aroma of rice and vegetables burst out.
The staple food is already so good, but the side dishes are even better!
Stir-fried shredded pork with green spinach, crispy and crispy fried pork with fungus, and the last dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms!
People stood in front of the dining table and were a little afraid to order.
"Hey, hey, Lao Li, what's going on today? Did something happen to our bunker?"
Someone reached out and grabbed Lao Li, who was wearing a chef's uniform, and asked carefully in a low voice.
Lao Li laughed and said, "Something happened! It's the Chinese New Year, which is a great thing!"
Everyone was agitated by his words: "Did something happen?"
"Our bunker has been so stable in the past two years. It's safe, what can happen?" Old Li said loudly, "Mr. Yang wants us to have a good New Year. You just have a meal, don't be so nervous!" "
This dish is too rich..." A young man whispered.
Today's dish is random, and it is also a dish that is only served once a week in the past. As a result, three of them came at once today. How could this keep him from panicking?
But if you think about it carefully, the bunker has indeed gotten better and better in the past two years.
They have a larger special planting area, the ability to produce their own oil, and new pig hair sweaters for sale in winter. They did this all by themselves.
The breeding area, which is not open to people at will, has also doubled in size, and countless chickens and hundreds of pigs are slowly growing up. By next year, maybe even meat will gradually become a common dish that can be eaten in two or three days.
"Everyone has worked hard together for two years. Today is a holiday, and Bunker is going to reward everyone." Lao Li relayed Teacher Qi's words, "You can eat with confidence! But don't hold on, eat less oil and less meat on weekdays. Beware of diarrhea."
This is not the first time for a holiday in the bunker. In the past, in order to remember the days, they also celebrated the Spring Festival. But in those days, the only thing the bunker could do was maybe give everyone an extra cup of sugar water, or put more oil in the dishes.
There is no difference between celebrating the festival and ordinary days.
It was only now that they suddenly realized that celebrating the holidays and New Year was really an unusual day.
There was soft music playing from the loudspeaker in the bunker used to announce big news. They didn't know what kind of instrument it was, but they just felt that the tone was as clanging as running water, like the soundtrack from a historical documentary they had seen before.
The Spring Festival couplets affixed to the door have golden hot stamping, and when illuminated by the lights in the house, they look radiant and beautiful.
The children ran around calling their friends, and after the whole family had finished their meal, Lao Li stuffed them with an egg with a smile. Everyone ate lunch happily, and everyone was looking forward to what would happen in the evening.
As expected, dinner also gave them a surprise. In addition to the chicken stewed with mushrooms being replaced by chicken and yam soup, perhaps taking into account the digestion ability of everyone in the bunker, the fried meat with fungus was also changed into pork and cabbage stew. The last dish was stir-fried yam and fungus meat slices.
It was lighter than lunch, but everyone enjoyed it more happily.
Because Yang Tong told them through the bunker's loudspeaker during dinner that the Spring Festival Gala would be broadcast tonight.
They had heard about this thing from the old man's mouth, and later they had a library and saw it in some books. I heard it was a very important event during the Spring Festival before the war.
Each province will have its own Spring Festival Gala, and the National Taiwan Association has opened up several sub-stages to select artistic talents from across the country and perform for everyone.
They heard it from the old man's mouth and read it from the book, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't remember what such a celebration would look like.
The big celebration is too far away from them.
Why not look in front of you and think about what dishes will be served in the canteen today after you finish your work? If there is a bit of fresh oily smell, it is a happy day.
But now there are pre-war videos for them to feast their eyes on.
It was clearly stated that the show would start at seven o'clock, but at around six o'clock, all the screens in the bunker were already full of people. They wanted to grab the best viewing seats, but were reluctant to part with tonight's meal, so they entrusted relatives and friends to help them go to the canteen to get food and then eat it.
For a while, the smell of food was everywhere in the bunker. When Yang Qi was pushed out from the medical floor by Yang Tong, he laughed at the smell: "This smell makes people lively." "There are
two stews tonight. They are all delicious. You must try them later." Wen Baizhou said quickly.
"Okay." Yang Qi nodded and smiled, "Our bunker raised this ourselves. We must try it."
Many people had gathered in the broadcast hall on the medical floor. But this is not Yang Qi's destination.
He wanted to go downstairs, to the most crowded hall, and watch the glory from the past with everyone.
His appearance shocked everyone else in the bunker, and there was a sudden commotion in the hall full of people on the first floor. Shang Xian squeezed out from the crowd: "Mr. Yang, why are you down here? It's so chaotic here." "It's okay
, I just want to be with you." Yang Qi patted his hand, "Don't panic, kid. , let's watch the show."
Everyone looked at Yang Qi with worry and distress, and wanted to ask him about it, but were afraid that talking too much would tire him out.
Yang Qi held Wen Baizhou's hand and stood up happily.
He slowly looked around the hall.
This is the largest hall in the bunker. During the material exchange season, there will be countless people and cars going back and forth here.
So now the most people are sitting here. They include an old man who is sick with him, and a young son who is still ignorant. There are not many young people who appear here most often on weekdays.
He glanced past a pair of worried eyes before raising his voice: "Don't worry about me. I can still come down and walk, which is a good thing. How can people not get sick when they get old? Don't worry about me, take good care of yourself. Live your own life."
He paused as he spoke, and then added: "Although we are walking on the road of growing old, our bunker is walking on the road of upwards. We must live with hope and hope that our children will grow up. When we grow up, we will have a better life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen behind him suddenly bloomed with layers of flowers, and lively and positive music suddenly filled the entire hall.
Yang Qi smiled and waved to everyone, then turned around and sat down in the wheelchair again.
Yang Tong bent down and put the blanket he brought over Yang Qi's knees: "It's a little cooler down there than expected. Please wear more clothes." "With
so many people, the temperature is not high enough." Yang Qi sighed softly, "Wait a minute. When the weather improves, let Xiao Heng lead a team to check carefully."
Yang Tong said quickly, "Okay."
When Lu Heng was mentioned, Yang Qi asked, "Where is Xiao Heng?"
"Brother Heng led people to maintain order. "Wen Baizhou said, "Too many people gathered in too many places today. You need to be careful."
Yang Qi nodded in agreement: "That's right."
After the lively singing and dancing, there was another language program. Wen Baizhou saw it many times and became a little distracted. He kept looking at the several entrances and exits of the lobby on the first floor, but he couldn't see Lu Heng's shadow.
It wasn't until another program ended that Lu Heng walked over in a hurry.
"Zhou Zhou," he reached out and held Wen Baizhou's hand, then squatted down and looked at Yang Qi and said, "Teacher, I'm late."
"Not too late." Yang Qi reached out and patted his shoulder. , "Now that we're done, it's time to go."
He looked at Lu Heng with warm eyes: "Xiao Heng, let's go home with Zhouzhou."
â 167. Chapter 166 first update
Chapter 166 A more lively dance music sounded almost in every corner of the bunker.
The two quietly left the crowd and walked all the way to the deserted third floor, where the warm tunes gradually weakened.
Wen Baizhou went back to the room and took out several large bags of candy. The candies are packed in colorful cartons with thin bows tied with ribbons.
"We have to take this and give it to Brother Yang Tong, and ask him to help give it to the children during the New Year." Wen Baizhou said, "What do you have to prepare?"
Lu Heng walked over and picked up the paper bag: "Let's go. "
Yang Tong probably didn't expect that they had other preparations. When he saw the contents of the bag, he was stunned for a moment.
After hearing Baizhou's plan, he immediately said: "Don't worry, we will make arrangements."
Sugar is a scarce resource in the bunker. Wen Baizhou specially prepared so many candies for the children, he would definitely not miss the mark.
After turning around and talking to Yang Qi, and then instructing the doctor who came down, Yang Tong took his things and followed them upstairs.
He did not forget to urge: "You guys go back quickly. If you delay any longer, it will be New Year's Eve at Xiaowen's family." "
Okay, we'll go back right away." Wen Baizhou agreed readily, "Brother Yang Tong, Happy New Year!"
Yang Tonglu He smiled and said, "Happy New Year to you too, Xiaowen."
Wen Baizhou waved with a smile, turned around and followed Lu Heng into the elevator.
When I got out of the elevator, the lively atmosphere was finally blocked by the long corridor and became silent.
Wen Baizhou thought about home and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
We were busy during last year's Chinese New Year, and there wasn't much celebration at the bunker or the small villa. It's rare that I have free time this year, and I wonder if there will be such a lively atmosphere in the small villa?
The little soldiers must be stationed throughout the year. I wonder if Lieutenant General Yan has organized some New Year activities for them. The researchers probably don't have any holidays. Will the senior professors organize activities?
Well... maybe young researchers don't want to celebrate with the teachers.
The more Wen Baizhou thought about it, the happier he became. He pulled Lu Heng and walked faster and faster. When he opened the door at the end of the corridor and looked around, his small villa was already standing there quietly.
"Brother Heng!" Wen Baizhou said loudly, "Hurry, go home!"
He ran to the door in a few steps and pushed open the old big iron door.
The lively music in the room suddenly poured out like water.
"Sure enough, he's back." Yan Feng stood by the door and laughed, "It's better for a mother to understand her son. Baizhou Xiaolu, come in quickly!"
Wen Baizhou jumped in front of him in two steps: "Uncle Yan, why are you staying here? In the yard."
"It's not guarding, it's just a coincidence." Yan Feng looked at him a few times with a smile, then looked at Lu Heng who was two steps behind, "How is your family? Did you enjoy this event?"
" It's very lively." Lu Heng said, "Everyone is very happy to participate in such a celebration for the first time." "
That's good, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry and not prepared enough." Yan Feng patted him on the shoulder, He led the people inside and asked, "How are the elders in the family?"
Lu Heng nodded: "My spirits have improved a lot in the past two days. I'm celebrating today too."
"That's good. If you need any medicine, just take care of it. Tell me. I'll mix it for you." Yan Feng said and smiled again, "Let's hurry up, or Bai Zhou will run out of sight." While
they were talking, Wen Bai Zhou had already rushed into the living room in a few steps. , threw himself on the sofa and hugged Ms. Song from back to front: "Mom! Happy New Year!"
Ms. Song patted his arm with a smile: "You are so old, and you are still so coquettish. Stand up straight and sit down."
She asked Wen Baizhou to sit down, but she stood up: "Xiao Heng, come sit down too. When you are all back, we can have the family reunion dinner." "
Why haven't you eaten so late?" Wen Baizhou hurriedly said She said, "Then I'll help too."
Ms. Song glanced at Wen Baizhou with a smile: "They're all kept warm, so why do you need your help?" She turned to Lu Heng with a smile: "It's just that we eat a lot during the reunion, little one Just ask Heng Neng to help."
Lu Heng said immediately: "You haven't seen Zhou Zhou for a long time, I just need to do these things."
"How can you do it alone?" Song Yao said with a smile, "Let's go together. I'm sorry."
Wen Baizhou still didn't understand anything. He looked at Song Yao eagerly, and when Song Yao glanced over, he showed an expression begging for mercy.
Ms. Song slowly raised her hand and knocked on his forehead before leading Lu Heng to the side.
When this small villa was renovated, the kitchen had long been gone, and only a few microwaves were placed in the original kitchen cabinets.
Most of the dishes are placed in thermal boxes, and the rice is kept warm in the rice cooker. Song Yao couldn't help but laugh as he watched Lu Heng silently unplug the rice cooker and pick up the rice cooker with one hand and the thermos box with the other.
"Xiao Heng." She spoke and stopped Lu Heng's movements, "Don't worry, I asked you to come because I have something to say to you."
Lu Heng looked down at Song Yao quietly and thought for a while before saying: " Auntie, tell me."
Song Yao looked at him like this and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be nervous. I'll keep the story short."
After she said this, she pondered for a long time before adding: "Zhouzhou's father and I have nothing to do with education. Zhouzhou's common cognition is happiness. We don't need him to achieve much, he just needs to live happily. Our biggest wish is that he grows up to be a good child. He can accomplish nothing or pursue his own goals. As long as he is a kind person."
Lu Heng frowned when he heard this.
Song Yao shook his head at him and stopped him: "So in addition to educating him cognitively, we gave him the greatest freedom in terms of what he likes and what he wants to learn, what he can learn and what he wants to do."
She looked at Looking at Lu Heng, he said with a smile: "The same goes for choosing a mate."
Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but said: "Auntie -"
"We hope that the person he likes is a good boy. We don't have too many other requirements. . Throughout his life, when he was young, his parents carried him on his back, and when he grew up, his parents held his hand. But in the end, it was the people around him who could support each other and move forward."
"Zhouzhou chose a dangerous path. ." Song Yao looked at Lu Heng and said kindly, "I'm very grateful to you for protecting Zhouzhou so well along the way. Thank you." "
This is what I should do. I took Zhouzhou there. , of course we must protect him." Lu Heng said quickly.
Song Yao looked at him intently, and then smiled and said, "This is indeed your responsibility, but as a mother, you have to understand my feelings. Okay, let's go out."
She picked up a set of thermal insulation at hand. Hezi: "Have you eaten?"
"No." Lu Heng quickly followed, "Zhouzhou guessed that you wanted to wait for him to eat together, so he didn't eat in the bunker." "
That's just right. The dishes tonight are very rich. ." Song Yao said, "Let's all have fun together."
When we returned to the living room, it was already full of people.
There were several familiar old professors and familiar little soldiers. The doctors and members of the information team who were on duty in the small villa also came to the living room.
Everyone was crowded in the living room and sharing drinks.
Lu Heng hurriedly walked over and put the thermos box on the table. Wen Baizhou leaned over and asked in a low voice, "
What did my mother say to you?" "Nothing said." Lu Heng paused, "Auntie... I feel very sorry for you. Worry."
Wen Baizhou pursed his lips: "I know. But..." He smiled and sighed before saying, "She can understand."
Lu Heng stretched out his hand, brushed his fingers from his cheek, and landed on Wen Bai On Zhou's shoulders. He pressed Wen Baizhou's shoulder silently.
Wen Baizhou smiled and was about to speak when he heard a researcher next to him say, "Why hasn't it started yet?"
"Didn't it start a long time ago?" Wen Baizhou pointed to the TV, where there was During the Spring Festival Gala, the cool dance beauty made the scene extremely lively.
"That's not it," the researcher said.
Another old professor also came over: "Isn't it after nine o'clock? It's already ten o'clock, why hasn't it started yet?" "Maybe we have to
wait until the performance is over." Yan Feng said, "Don't be impatient. , if there is an arrangement, it will definitely not be missed."
Wen Baizhou was at a loss: "What?"
Yan Feng said with a smile: "You will know it when you see it."
The food was served noisily in the room, and an old professor called the students Bring a few more stools, and there are little soldiers running around giving people dishes and chopsticks.
"Come and help push the sofa away, there are too many people on the sofa," someone shouted.
Several people immediately walked over and pushed the big sofa to the corner together.
No one noticed that the picture on the screen had changed a long time ago. Several hosts walked onto the stage laughing and talking lively and no one listened.
Until a familiar voice came.
Someone shouted: "It's Professor Sun! It's started!"
The lively living room suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their attention to the TV, and saw that the TV screen was split into two, and it became Wen Baizhou in the command hall. I've seen it before.
If it weren't for the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast icon in the corner, Wen Baizhou would have thought this was some kind of news conference.
Professor Sun's old and calm voice came: "Five, four, three, two, one -"
"Light the fire!"
The left side of the screen suddenly lit up in blazing red, like the rising sun.
Wen Baizhou was shocked, and warm applause sounded in the room.
The researchers clapped and smiled and hugged those around them.
The little soldiers couldn't understand this picture, but they were also happy and said "Congratulations!"
Wen Baizhou turned his head quickly and looked at Yan Feng: "This, this is... a fusion reactor?!"
"Yes." Yan Feng nodded with a smile, "Today, in the eyes of the whole country, our first controllable nuclear reactor The fusion power station was successfully ignited."
Wen Baizhou asked: "Didn't you say it will be next year?"
"Professor Sun and the others have tested it countless times under the ecological lake. The technology is very mature and the construction speed is also very fast. What Professor Sun means is not We have to wait until next year." Yan Feng said, "He thinks that the ignition of controllable nuclear fusion can be given as a gift to everyone. The big leader also agreed."
Hearing that the big leader also agreed, Wen Baizhou asked in surprise: "Are we ready?"
"Ready." Yan Feng responded seriously, "We have the ability to deal with any possible disaster. So we are fearless to show the world what we have."
He said and smiled again Get up: "Zhouzhou, this is the sun you brought back."
In the eyes of the world, along with the cheers of the old era and the ringing of the new year, this scorching sun powerfully and firmly opened the door to the new era.
"We have the strength and confidence to announce to everyone that we have mastered the sun."
Yan Feng stared at the screen and said decisively.
â 168. Chapter 167 first update
Chapter 167 The
successful ignition of the artificial sun shook the entire blue star this night.
The bearded speaker of Iriba was so angry that he threw down his cigar box. He slapped his desk and angrily scolded the secretary in front of him: "Didn't he swear that the artificial sun is a trap and won't be built in decades?! Longxia Point What is it!"
"Sir, now is not the time to hold the Academy of Sciences accountable." The secretary said quickly, "More importantly, what do we need to do when Long Xia starts the fire in such a high-profile manner?"
The bearded speaker raised his hand and threw it out file: "What should I do next? I need your help? Get out!"
He supported the long mahogany table, watching the secretary pick up the scattered documents in a panic, and then hurriedly left the office.
The sunlight at twelve o'clock at noon illuminated the sky and the earth, and they crowded in through the half-open glass windows, making his office even brighter than the places next to it.
The bearded speaker turned his head stiffly. He looked at the glass window shining with sunlight, and there seemed to be a huge roar in his ears.
In front of his eyes, it seemed that the mushroom cloud from decades ago appeared again, which was hidden from the eyes and ears of the world, but exploded with a roar.
This sunshine belongs only to the sun of the new era. It proudly and domineeringly merges with the mushroom cloud. They are like cold fireworks at the bottom of the sea, blooming silently but with great force.
Submerge him, suffocate him, and quietly burn him to ashes.
The bearded speaker suddenly swept the desk, and everything on the desk was swept to the floor!
"Long Xia..."
Long Xia!
Compared to the uncontrollable anger of the bearded speaker, Neo's ambassador was much more depressed.
When he saw the lit fusion reactor inside the embassy, ââhe had only one thought in his mind.
It's over.
How could it be controllable nuclear fusion... They have deployed so many lurking people and invested huge amounts of operational funds every year. How could such a big thing not have the slightest bit of information revealed! ?
He thought of the low-Earth orbital gun from years ago, and the plasma shield with blurry video outside the ocean.
What else can't be understood at the moment?
But now I understand, it's too late.
For Neo, it's just a matter of changing mountains and worshiping a new big brother. But for him...
He raised his head and slowly looked at the embassy in front of him.
Even he had to admit that serving in Long Xia was really an eye-catching and good job.
Longxia is peaceful and prosperous, with thousands of years of culture and countless delicacies for him to slowly appreciate and explore.
It's a pity...
this may be the last year he spends in this embassy.
The ambassador of Neo looked at the group photo on the wall intently. After a long time, he lowered his head in silence and remained still for a long time.
... ...
People who light up the sun don't need to care about the mood of those who are still holding on to the torch.
This fire ignited the entire Longxia, and all the headlines on the Internet simply read "Controllable nuclear fusion ignition was successful"!
Netizens cheered with joy and no longer watched the Spring Festival Gala. They only discussed the matter intensely with their family and friends.
That's unlimited energy! Once you have one, the second one must be very fast, right? With several of them, can the leap forward in various industries be far away?
Families with mechanical dogs and household robots are also concerned about another thing.
Controlled nuclear fusion has been successful. Can their dogs and robots become nuclear-powered?
Nuclear-powered household machines and equipment are so exciting just thinking about them!
People were discussing happily, but they didn't expect that the news of electricity bill reduction would be announced by the hosts with smiles on their faces.
Everyone knows that after the controllable nuclear fusion power station is completed, energy prices are bound to drop significantly. But no one expected that the moment the ignition was successful, the electricity bill reduction plan was announced.
The reduction in electricity charges refers to the original plan to reduce water charges, which is still gradually reduced over half a year.
This half year has been enough for many business owners to eliminate outdated equipment or expand production capacity according to future trends.
This evening was filled with joy, both online and offline, it was surprisingly lively.
In the small villa on the Fourth Ring Road of Yujing, after everyone cheered and cheered, what they paid most attention to was the feast in front of them.
Ms. Song was sure that Wen Baizhou would come back to celebrate the New Year, so she ordered a lot of expensive ingredients early and cooked some herself. Most ingredients are not provided in canteens, and people who are busy with work may only eat this once a year.
Everyone was drinking wine and playing guessing games with pincers, and it was very lively.
By the time the countdown sounded, the table was already in a mess. Listening to the countdown on the TV, everyone stopped their chopsticks in unison, some shouted loudly, and some raised their glasses. The little soldiers rushed into the backyard and found the fireworks that had been prepared and were ready.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Boom!"
The bright New Year's fireworks and the bells rang together, and a chorus of shouts came from the small villa: "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year! Mom !" Wen Baizhou leaned over and hugged Song Yao beside him, then quickly let go of his hand and turned to hug Lu Heng on the other side, "Happy New Year! Brother Heng!"
"Happy New Year." Lu Heng returned the hug lightly, And reluctantly let go.
Song Yao looked at them both with a smile.
After Wen Baizhou greeted her happily like a bird and landed next to her again, Song Yao took out a red envelope from his clothes.
The red envelope had been kept in her pocket all night and had already become warm. She handed the red envelope to Wen Baizhou and said lovingly: "Happy New Year, baby."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Heng and took out an identical red envelope again: "Xiao Heng, too, Happy New Year."
Lu Heng was hesitating. , Wen Baizhou quickly picked it up: "Thank you, Ms. Song!"
Song Yao slapped him funny, then Shi Shiran stood up and said: "Okay, I'm tired after a night of trouble. I'll go Get some rest, and you young people don't make trouble too late."
She was about to leave, and several other old professors were also feeling very weak. Now that the New Year has passed, they all said goodbye and left the small villa. Even Yan Feng got up and left, leaving this bustling factory to the young people who rarely took a vacation.
The young researchers and the little soldiers had not relaxed for a long time and were having fun in the yard with fireworks.
Fenrir had never seen this scene before. A dog jumped up and down with joy. Wen Baizhou simply found a large fairy stick from the fireworks and let Fenrir play with it.
The moment the fairy stick lit up, Fenrir felt that he was the most handsome mechanical dog. He held the fairy stick in his mouth and rushed to Building 1 without looking back, looking for the little white dog that had not come to play.
Wen Baizhou laughed out loud.
Lu Heng leaned against the door, watching Wen Baizhou getting into a mess with the others, his eyebrows softening unconsciously.
By the time everyone left, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
There are also small Lantern Festivals for New Year's Eve in the refrigerator.
Wen Baizhou used the microwave to heat up a bowl for himself and Lu Heng.
Everything tonight was new to Lu Heng. He stared at the pearl-like glutinous rice dumplings in the bowl for a long time before taking a bite to taste.
After eating the Lantern Festival that night with Wen Baizhou, he took out the red envelope given to him by Song Yao: "This..."
He was about to say something, but Wen Baizhou had already laughed: "Take it Let's go. It is our family's rule that children should have New Year's money before they start a family and start a business. If you take the New Year's money from your elders, you will have a safe and sound new year."
After thinking about it, he felt as if he had already started a family and started a business, so he changed his words: "Three We stand at the age of ten. None of us are thirty, take it!"
Lu Heng looked at his smiling face, lowered his head and pondered for a while before collecting the red envelope.
He had expected that such a grand celebration would be followed by a long holiday.
Unexpectedly, Yan Feng appeared in the living room of the small villa again early the next morning.
As soon as Lu Heng went upstairs after his morning exercise, he immediately looked serious when he saw Yan Feng: "Lieutenant General Yan?"
"Bai Zhou hasn't woken up yet?" Yan Feng said with a smile, "Then let's wait until he wakes up. Let's go first Have breakfast."
Lu Heng asked: "Is there something important?"
Yan Feng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter much. But the New Year is over, it's time to work."
It's not just him, everyone in this villa area After the morning light came on, everyone put aside the joy of last night's carnival and once again devoted themselves to their work.
Even Lu Heng admired this perseverance and sense of responsibility.
Near noon, Wen Baizhou yawned and went downstairs. He was also startled when he saw Yan Feng: "Uncle Yan, don't you have a holiday?"
"In our line of work, there are no holidays." Yan Feng waved to him, " Come and sit down when you wake up. You and Xiaolu are both here. There are some things we need to ask your opinions on."
Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng looked at each other, and he said solemnly: "Please tell me."
"Don't be so serious. ." Yan Feng smiled and waved his hand, "In our opinion, this is a good thing. But you are the ones who have been to 2099 and lived in 2099, so we must ask your opinion. Not only you, this is The matter also requires Xiao Heng to go back and ask other people in the bunker for their opinions."
After hearing this, the two of them not only did not relax, but became more serious.
Yan Feng also pondered, and after a while he said: "In the past two years, we have made many technological breakthroughs. Among them, there are also certain breakthroughs in the settlement of nuclear fallout and volcanic ash." The textbook Qingluan gave them
is All-round, with the help of this batch of future teaching materials, their breakthroughs are also all-round.
Yan Feng raised his eyes, looked at Lu Heng, who suddenly became serious, and said with a smile: "All experiments have gone through three rounds, and the results are very good. I took the acid rain from you and tried it again, and it also has an effect. But... To solve them, it will eventually take a continuous heavy rain. We are not sure how long it will take to do this, but it is obvious that it will have a certain impact on your lives."
He paused as he spoke, and his eyes slowly crossed. The two faces in front of him were still young for him, but they were already full of determination.
"You have to take this matter back and discuss it carefully before giving me the answer."
â 169. Chapter 168 [First update]
Chapter 168 [First update]
"There is no need to hesitate. This is a good thing. If we can do it, we should do it as soon as possible."
Yang Qi sat on the bed with his clothes on, and the needle in his hand was still dripping slowly. Liquid medicine. His eyes were as bright as fire, and his energy was lifted.
"We cannot delay this matter. It once took two hundred years of heavy rain on this planet before life began to sprout. Now, we don't know how long it will take for the radioactive dust in the sky to settle, but starting one day early can make our The younger generation will see the light of day as soon as possible!"
Yang Qi held Wen Baizhou's hand tightly and looked at Teacher Qi with burning eyes.
"Mudong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must seize it."
Qi Mudong nodded quickly. A few days ago, he broke a temple of his glasses. At this time, the broken temple was tied with a thread. The ears are fixed, so they appear crooked.
But no one present laughed at him because of this. Everyone looked solemn and considered Yang Qi's words seriously.
"If we start now, there should be a blizzard. Our bunker is very experienced in dealing with blizzards, but we don't know if it will overlap with the original extreme weather." Qi Mudong said thoughtfully, "But we control the number of shells. There should be no problem."
Yang Qi shook his head: "Mudong, don't forget. Before the war came, our Yicheng was an international city with a population of tens of millions." A
city with a population of tens of millions means that it Strong vitality and development prospects. Now, it also means that it has a vast enough land.
Qi Mudong almost immediately understood what Yang Qi meant: "There are indeed many wastelands outside the city, but..." He looked at Lu Heng hesitantly and whispered: "I'm afraid it's not easy to guarantee the safety of the staff."
"I have some ideas." Wen Baizhou interjected, "If we lead a team to do it, safety issues will definitely be no problem. But we may not return to the bunker for a long time."
Yang Qi smiled, as if he didn't Understand the hesitation of Wen Baizhou and Qi Mudong. He only smiled and said: "As long as you are safe, what does it matter if you never come back?"
He looked at Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng lovingly: "Zhouzhou, how big is this world? Everyone here Here, you know best. Such a big place requires a lot of land adhesives and a lot of plant factories. You young people always have to carry the burden and walk on the road."
He folded the hands of the two young people together. He held them tightly and said, "Take up your responsibilities and do what you should do. Things around you should not be a hindrance to you."
Lu Heng looked down at the back of his withered hands. After a long time, Then he whispered: "Okay."
"Then it's settled." Yang Qi said happily, "Zhouzhou went back to discuss with the elders at home to discuss what we need to do, and we will fully cooperate." Regarding
artificial settlement, There is no need for Yicheng Bunker to do anything.
They only need to Wen Baizhou open the door at the right position, and then push the launch vehicle and the sinker through the door, and everything will be fine. Even if it is only fixed at one location, the movement of clouds in the sky and the action of fallout bombs will make the radiation dust thinner and thinner.
"Just by setting it at one location, firstly, there is a risk that the amount of radiation will exceed the standard. Secondly, the effect may not be very good." This is what Yan Feng is worried about. "Originally, it would be best for more places to participate in this kind of thing. But neither you nor us can find more suitable manpower at present."
"Let's start from Yicheng first." Wen Baizhou said, "We can do some experiments in Yicheng first to see the current settlement Is the effect of the bomb ideal? After that..."
He thought for a moment and then said: "We can go to Zecheng again."
The origin of the sinking bomb could not be explained to the other survivors, but it was not applicable to Qingluan. They could leave a large number of sinking bombs to Qingluan and let Qingluan observe the weather and launch them at sea.
Yan Feng thought of the shipboard AI in Zecheng, and also of the auxiliary AI that had been iterated several times in Xing Shu's hands and became more and more intelligent. He thought for a long time before nodding and saying: "It's true that we can let it help."
The matter was settled like this.
After leaving the bunker and along the route, there is a large area of ââuninhabited wilderness inside and outside Yicheng.
Looking around these wilderness, there is nothing but endless snow. Even the ruins created by humans have long since disappeared in the acid rain year after year.
Two heavy tanks stopped in the snowdrift.
A particularly tall figure jumped out of the car behind. The clothes were thick and fluffy enough to make him look like a black bear. He hunched his body and walked forward for several meters, then returned to the leading chariot and knocked on the window: "It's almost here." The
door of the leading chariot opened, and Fenrir He and its two owners got out of the car one after another.
The sky is dark and the vision is dim. Through the mist, it was almost impossible to see the distance.
But looking around, Wen Baizhou was sure that they had indeed reached the highest point of this wilderness. Not far away, there should be the frozen Yijiang River.
"We are launching fallout bombs here. If successful, when the ice season is over, the falling radioactive dust will be diluted as the Yi River flows." Ye Chi pointed to the distance, "It is cold now, and the icy and snowy dust can still be dispersed. Once a layer of anti-radiation bacteria has passed, it is considered as an extra layer of preparation."
This place is far away from the survivor base of the entire Yicheng, and even if there is a sudden blizzard, it will not cause riots.
Wen Baizhou stared at the sky for a long time before saying, "It's right here."
Many thumb-sized robots flew out of the tactical vest on Fenrir's back. This is the military's new generation of swarm exploration robot. Each "bee" is full of radio-resistant bacteria.
"Fenrir, let the bees spread anti-radiation bacteria along the river bank. Let's go back and drive the car over." Wen Baizhou said.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the dilapidated double-door iron gate and the small villa behind it appeared in the distance. Standing at such a high point, they could only see the warm shimmer coming from the room.
In order to avoid the strong interference caused by the door, which would make it difficult for Fenrir to control the swarm, Wen Baizhou deliberately opened the door far away.
Seeing the swarm take off, Lian Sheng's mobile phone connected to Fenrir, and a control screen appeared. Wen Baizhoucai and Lu Heng drove the chariot and moved towards the villa, while the others stayed in place to clear the snow half a man high.
The launch vehicle is not much larger than the heavy tank. It is equipped with three sinking bombs by default, and the built-in auxiliary system allows it to automatically identify clouds and correct the trajectory of the shells. There is almost no barrier to use.
The two changed cars in the villa, and then drove the launch vehicle back to the high ground in the same rut they came from.
In just ten minutes, a platform of several square meters had been cleared at the top. The land underfoot has almost completely turned to sand, and only the rain and ice in winter maintain its appearance.
Wen Baizhou stepped on the ground: "Can this kind of ground withstand the impact of the launch?"
"Yes." Lu Heng said.
Before choosing a suitable ground, he had tested it many times in similar terrain outside the bunker using the attack mode of the high-energy laser gun.
Wen Baizhou believed in his judgment and immediately said, "Let's get started."
The shells were loaded onto the launch vehicle, and the system automatically raised the launch arm, analyzed the clouds, and corrected the angle. When all the data was analyzed, it emitted a sound of " "Beep" sound: "Preparations are complete."
Wen Baizhou nodded, and he looked at Fenrir: "Have you finished the work of the bee swarm?"
Fenrir shook his tail: "We have started to recover the bee swarm, woof!"
Wen Baizhou took a deep breath after hearing this, and looked up at the dark sky. After a while, he looked back and put his hand on the launch button.
At that moment, the weight of all the expectations in the world fell on his fingertips. But he didn't tremble at all.
He was as calm and calm as if he was giving a dragon a wink, and his fingers fell steadily and steadily.
"Boom--"
The sinking bombs, with their bright tail flames, penetrated the thick lead clouds in an unstoppable manner, exploding into clouds of bright white smoke one after another in the darkness.
Dark clouds were surging, and wind was coming from high in the sky.
"The bee swarm has been recovered."
With Fenrir's cheerful voice, the first dusty snow slowly fell.

Chapter 169 [Second update]
No matter how many times I see the gray and yellow snow, I still can't get used to it.
Yu Xingye stared at the gate for a long time, then turned his wheelchair and slipped back to the backyard door of the small villa: "Are you leaving again?" "
Yes." Wen Baizhou nodded, "Have a good morning after you finish."
Winter Day Although driving is dangerous, they have gained full experience in going back and forth. In addition, the door can now be opened in three days, and the safety factor has skyrocketed.
Yu Xingye looked at him, always feeling that he had a lot to say, but also felt that nothing could express his meaning. He could only push the wheels of his wheelchair and circle the chariot back and forth.
"The snow is so dirty. Remember to wear protective clothing and take anti-radiation medicine every day. We'll leave when the weather is good. If you can avoid getting wet, don't get wet." "I know, I know,
it's not the first time. It's gone." Lian Sheng answered loudly while checking the tires, "Why are you so arrogant?"
Yu Xingye sighed and said directly: "I feel bad when I look at the snow."
This kind of thing should happen He participated, but as a result he could only stay in the small villa and watch. But Wen Baizhou, who was supposed to live a relaxed life in a small villa, was busy working for them.
Yu Xingye felt a little ashamed just thinking about it.
"You old man, you'd better take good care of yourself as soon as possible. That's the best way to enjoy it." Lian Sheng replied casually, turned to Wen Baizhou and said, "Okay, it's time to set off!"
They almost always looked up to the sky when setting off. Fire sinking bombs, wait until the next time the door opens, and fire a few more. Hit wherever you go.
Each collected snowfall will be sent to the laboratory in Building 1 as soon as possible. The chemical agents loaded in the shells have also been improved several times based on the data analyzed from the fallen snow.
The snow that fell later became more and more gray and yellow. This is a sign of increased adsorption.
Every time they see the snow, they feel very happy.
Although the sky didn't seem to change much, as we walked back and forth, there was black snow blown down by the fallout bombs along the way. When they return to Yicheng from Zecheng, there will always be some changes, right?
As long as they don't give up, one day they will be able to see the blue sky of 2099, right?
When everyone got in the car, Wen Baizhou leaned out half of his body from the passenger seat and shouted with a smile: "Xingye!"
Yu Xingye looked at him doubtfully.
"Would you like to follow us and let the cannons go off?" Wen Baizhou laughed and said, "I'll send you back after the cannons are set off. Let's go forward. You can stay by the door and watch the snow."
Yu Xingye's eyes gradually lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised. Authentic: "Yes! It can still be like this! I want to go, I want to go too! Just wait for me to wear protective clothing!"
Ye Chi supported the steering wheel in the car behind and smiled: "Look at Xingye, he needs to have a tail, now that The tail can turn into a propeller."
Lian Sheng was happy after hearing this: "His leg is quite badly injured, Xiao Wen is willing to take him...it's pretty good."
Ye Chi looked at Wen Bai through the front glass of the car. Zhou and Luheng put Yu Xingye, who was happily wearing protective clothing, into the car and couldn't help but tap the steering wheel with their fingers.
When the lead car walked out of the big iron gate, he said bluntly: "It's not bad."
The two tanks left the big iron gate one after another, and Gui Yao followed behind in the launch vehicle.
They opened the door near the launch point. As soon as they left the door and drove forward for five minutes, they arrived at the designated launch point.
It was Yu Xingye's first contact with the sinking launch, and he was extremely excited. Although walking on the snow was unsteady, he still used the exoskeleton walking aid to walk around the launch vehicle on his crutches.
After the snow was dealt with, he got on the launch vehicle and asked nervously and excitedly: "Is it ready?" "The
vehicle will tell you when it's ready." Wen Baizhou said, "Just follow the command!"
"Oh. Oh, so advanced!" Yu Xingye touched the console, and when he heard the beep of the launch vehicle, he quickly put his hand on the button.
The moment he pressed it, the huge impact made his whole body tremble. After he slowed down and looked up again, he saw a rising flame in the sky.
It is like a retrograde meteor, shooting straight into the sky.
Yu Xingye stared blankly at the bright fireworks.
He stayed in the small villa for more than half a year and saw a lot of things. He knows that in 2025, there is a saying of making a wish on a shooting star.
He didn't know whether those falling meteors would fulfill human beings' wishes.
But this retrograde meteor will surely fulfill their wishes.
The chariot stopped and stopped all the way, from the coldest winter to the material exchange season when the snow gradually melted. Along with the supply convoys rushing to Zecheng from all directions, the two lonely tanks finally entered the main road of Zecheng.
Qingluan's voice when he connected was a little urgent: "Mr. Wen?"
"It's us." Wen Baizhou said with a smile, "Qingluan, we're here again."
"Welcome." Qingluan said in a brisk tone, "Mr. Xiao Cai and I have always missed you."
"Do you just miss me?" Wen Baizhou raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you didn't miss my souvenir?"
Qingluan was silent for a long time, then sighed. In the sound of electric current, he calmly replied: "Of course, I also want to listen as always to what experiences my friends who have returned from a long journey will have."
Wen Baizhou laughed loudly: "You are getting better and better at speaking. That's a nice thing to say. But Qingluan, when I come here this time, there is something important that I need you to do."
Qingluan asked keenly: "Urgent matters?"
Wen Baizhou was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's more urgent."
Zhan The vehicle slowly followed the convoy of materials entering the city. It was not until they entered the original factory area that Qingluan said, "Mr. Lu, please follow the guidance." The
two tanks separated from the convoy heading to the clean area and headed straight towards the living area on the ground. .
In the distance, through the undemolished wall outside the living area, they could only see the illuminated roof. Under the darkness and light, those roofs looked like neatly arranged milk candies.
"No matter how urgent it is, Qingluan wants to ask Mr. Wen to take a look at the current Zecheng." After Qingluan finished speaking, he immediately asked, "So, what does Mr. Wen need Qingluan to do?" "
For you, it should be It won't be too difficult." After Wen Baizhou finished speaking, he told it the task in a soft voice.
The chariot slowly drove into the living area on the ground, leaving the towering wall behind.
Qingluan did not hesitate: "This is indeed not difficult for Qingluan."
"I will give you a few launch vehicles and enough sinking bombs." Wen Baizhou said, "Qingluan, I'm leaving it to you. "
Mr. Wen, don't worry." Qingluan said quietly, "Qingluan will fulfill every instruction perfectly."
It guided the chariot to a stop in front of a back building: "Please stay here for a moment." Take a rest. Mr. Wen, material transactions will continue as usual."
"Okay."
Several people got out of the car, and a small cylindrical robot came over dragging a long water pipe. While they were flushing and cleaning the chariot, they did not forget to say: "Your rooms are in 301 and 302."
"There are actually two rooms arranged." Ye Chi laughed after hearing this, "Are your rooms enough? ?"
"So far, there is still a little surplus." The small cylindrical robot replied.
Wen Baizhou raised his head and looked up: "Are all the transportation team members from various regions living in this building?"
"No. The transportation team is still arranged to live in the ship market." The small cylindrical robot said, "You are friends, and friends have other places to stay."
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but laugh: "You actually have two pictures Face."
"Mr. Xiao Cai thinks that it is better to let them arrive at the living area on the ground instead of letting them think that they have discovered a secret." The small cylindrical robot said, "This is conducive to the development of Zecheng and Mr. Wen's next step. ."
Wen Baizhou was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Lu Heng and then said, "Did Mr. Cai come up with this by himself?" "
Through communication with Mr. Yang Qi from Yicheng." The small robot replied, "Qingluan is very grateful to Mr. Yang Qi for his help to Zecheng."
"The old man... is really worried about everything." Lian Sheng whispered.
"Well. Let's finish our work quickly and then go back." Wen Baizhou pursed his lips and responded in a low voice.
They bid farewell to the small cylindrical robot and walked up to the third floor.
Qingluan arranged for them a small building with two bedrooms and one living room. Standing in the house and looking out through the window of the room, you can see scattered lights in the living area on the ground.
It is still working time, and many people are still busy in the shipping market and have not returned home. But in those rooms with lights on, separated by different curtains in each household, the same lights also reveal colorful differences.
Wen Baizhou felt warm in his heart.
He stared at the scattered lights, and after a long time he smiled and sighed and said, "Let's go, let's hand over the things to Qingluan, and then go to the planting and breeding areas to have a look.
" Supplies used to be easier to transport. After handing over an entire small transport truck's shells and several launch vehicles to Qingluan, Wen Baizhou plunged into work.
Looking back at the planting and breeding areas in Zecheng after a year, I can see that both are on the right track.
Wen Baizhou was in a hurry to go back and wasted little time. During the three days while waiting for the door to open, he was almost completely immersed in work.
When the door opened three days later, Wen Baizhou returned to the small villa with the data. The researchers in Building 1 worked overtime for three days. When the door opened again, Wen Baizhou returned to Zecheng with the questions and materials he had answered.
He handed the supplies to Qingluan for storage, and then ran to answer the confusion of the staff in the planting and breeding areas. The group of people barely stopped and were about to drive back.
Even Cai Zonghe didn't understand such a rush.
He originally thought that when he was done with his work, he would still have time to catch up with old times and take them to have a good tour of the living area on the ground. Their canteen has been successfully opened for a long time, doctors have come down from the hospital ship and are stationed in the hospital, and there is also a library specially prepared for them by Wen Baizhou. Now more and more people are willing to go in and take a look.
These are all changes brought about by Wen Baizhou.
But who knew that after they finished their work, they didn't even want to rest, and got in the car to go back.
After Cai Zonghe got the news about Qingluan, he hurried back to the hotel and said directly: "Why are you so anxious?" "
Mr. Cai, you know Mr. Yang's health." Wen Baizhou stopped talking nonsense to him, "We want to Come back to him as soon as possible."
Cai Zonghe's heart tightened when he heard this, and he almost instantly remembered what Mr. Cai looked like after his illness. He immediately said: "That's what it should be."
As Wen Baizhou got into the car, he spoke quickly: "Mr. Cai, maybe in one year, maybe two years, or even just a few months, this day will There are changes. You have to be prepared. We are leaving now."
Cai Zonghe was startled when he heard this, but without any more words, the two chariots left the living area on the ground at lightning speed.
Behind them, on the distant horizon shrouded in mist, shimmering meteors were moving retrograde up the sky.
â 171. Chapter 170 The sky is like me
Chapter 170 The sky is like
the dark clouds surging in the sky. White fireworks briefly break through the tidal black clouds, bringing out goose feather-like snowflakes.
The heavy gray snow drifted all the way from Zecheng in the south to Yicheng in the east.
When I returned to Yicheng No. 01 bunker, it happened to be another autumn day.
The autumn tiger makes the sunshine of 2025 incredibly hot, but Yicheng in 2099 has to make final preparations for the coming cold winter.
The two vehicles rushed back to the bunker one after another. After handing the tanks to the staff in the buffer zone, several people rushed to the medical floor without stopping. Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief until they saw Yang Qi sleeping peacefully in the ward.
Seeing them coming back in a hurry, Yang Tong was a little surprised and quickly comforted him: "The old man just took medicine and fell asleep. Don't worry."
"How has he been these past few months?" Lu Heng asked in a low voice.
Yang Tong turned to look at Yang Qi, and after a while he replied: "The situation is not bad, but...it is this kind of disease after all." In
fact, they could see it without him saying anything. Mr. Yang has lost a lot of weight in the past few months.
He had been tortured to the point of becoming emaciated by the illness, and now even the gray hair on his head was missing. Her slightly long hair looked a little sparse when spread on the pillow.
Lu Heng walked to the stool beside the bed and sat down quietly. The others exchanged glances and exited the room in tacit agreement.
But as soon as the door closed, Yang Qi seemed to feel something and slowly woke up.
He stared at Lu Heng with slightly cloudy eyes for a while, then smiled: "It's Xiao Heng, when did you come back?"
"Just now." Lu Heng leaned down and held his hand.
Yang Qi was held by him, and his eyes scanned around: "Where is Zhouzhou?"
"I'll get you some water." Lu Heng said, "You didn't sleep well, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yang Qi smiled and shook his head: "I dreamed that you were back, so I wanted to open my eyes and see. Sure enough, you are back."
He patted the back of Lu Heng's hand lovingly: "Xiao Heng, don't delay what you should do because of me."
"I know. "Lu Heng said softly, "Don't worry, we are firing sinking bombs all the way."
He told Yang Qi what happened on the road in a gentle tone. Yang Qi kept his spirits high and nodded with relief from time to time.
"What you have to do," he said, "even if there is no result for a while, don't be discouraged. The clouds in the sky are like this. They are constantly flowing, and like water, they will make up for the gaps you have created. You have to make it Think of it like a big pond. Only when the water in the pond is drained, will the gap we want be exposed."
"I know. We are not in a hurry, and neither are you." Lu Heng said, "Let's take a rest for the night. We will continue working tomorrow. If you keep persisting, we will wait for the day when the water in the pool dries up."
"Okay." Yang Qi nodded with a smile, "You are all good children, and I always believe in you. Everything will be fine."
He seemed to really just want to confirm whether Lu Heng had come back. After saying these words, his energy was exhausted. Yang Qi closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep again in the blink of an eye.
Lu Heng stayed by the bedside all night, and had a deep chat with the doctor in the morning before returning to the third floor and being held down by Wen Baizhou to rest.
Even though he had been mentally prepared, Lu Heng still felt a surge of pain in his heart when facing Yang Qi, who was sick and torn apart.
He closed his eyes and hugged Wen Baizhou tightly. Wen Baizhou hugged him quietly without saying anything.
An hour later, Lu Heng let go slightly, kissed Wen Baizhou's forehead, and said with a low smile: "I'm fine, it's time to work."
During the window period before the ice season completely arrived, the bunker was like every other place in the past. In the year, the inspection was carried out in a lively manner. The transportation team undertook the maintenance and inspection work on the outside of the bunker. Many people tied safety ropes and went up and down the city walls and ground fortresses.
Lu Heng went to check the work of the transportation team, while Wen Baizhou went upstairs to accompany Yang Qi. It was not until noon that the two tanks left the bunker and returned to the high ground beside the Yijiang River again.
Under the searchlight, the water of Yijiang River rolled like ink. The sinking bombs carried bright tail flames and exploded into unseen fireworks among the black clouds.
Heavy gray-yellow snow fell into it and was submerged in the blink of an eye.
The snow continued on and off for many days. It still falls intermittently with the winter blizzards until the winter storms arrive in full force.
So this year's snow seems particularly dirty. The staff responsible for clearing the snow in the bunker must wash themselves thoroughly in the buffer zone every time they finish their work.
Such dirty snow always makes people feel uneasy.
There is another step in the bunker's cleaning work. Every time they go out to clean up the gray and yellow snow, the workers have to take a few anti-radiation sprays with them and spray anti-radiation bacteria while cleaning.
This kind of cleaning work makes people even more uneasy.
There are some secret rumors in the bunker. Some say that the radiation level has increased, and some say that there will be a snow disaster this year.
But even so, the survivors living in the bunker did not feel much panic. Because this fortress has sheltered them for decades.
No matter how the situation changes on the ground, as long as the bunker does not collapse, they will be safe.
It's just that they can't restrain their curiosity. If people have the opportunity to go to the ground floor, they will go to the window and look up at the sky.
But when I looked at it, I saw that the person was staying directly by the window, unable to move.
The sky in front of me seems to be... starting to light up?
It was still dark at night, but during the day, the sky had some hazy light. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have become thinner, so the light they revealed was far clearer than the previous dim and dull light.
This was an exciting spark that no secret rumor could suppress.
There are many people with nothing to do during the ice season. More and more people are standing by the windows of the ground fortress. They keep watch day after day, watching the gray and yellow snow day after day.
I also looked at the light in the sky, getting brighter little by little.
Yang Qi's ward was moved from the medical floor in the mountain to the third floor of the ground fortress.
His hospital bed was next to the window. On snowy days, Yang Tong would carefully help him clear the snow outside the window. When he was in good spirits, he would look at the sky every day, watching the clouds billowing in the sky, and watching the snow and wind blowing.
He could feel his life force slowly draining away. This kind of passage is something that no wise doctor can reverse. But he also knew that his children were working hard for a common dream not far away.
He didn't want to disappoint the children.
But...
"When manpower is limited..."
Yang Qi slowly looked at the children who hurried to his side. The night outside the window was dark, and even the wind and snow had stopped. The lights in the special planting area have long been dimmed, but the lights in his room are bright, allowing him to see each child's face clearly.
Yang Qi stretched out his hand tremblingly, and Lu Heng quickly squeezed his hand.
"Xiao Heng, when your manpower is limited... don't blame yourself, don't be sad." He said slowly, and turned his turbid eyes to Wen Baizhou, "Zhou Zhou..."
"Grandpa Yang." Wen Baizhou half-knelt down. Beside his bed, "If you keep persisting, spring will come soon."
This is already the end of the cold winter, and the sky is slowly getting brighter. By the time they get the last of the bombs out, a new era will begin.
But Yang Qi laughed: "Zhouzhou, don't be sad... I have seen spring, you brought it."
His eyes stayed on the picture of the bunker surrounded by flowers.
"I just went to spring before you." Yang Qi stared at the children he raised, "There is no need to be sad. I just finished my work and went to rest. From now on, it will be your challenge. Children , take up your responsibilities and live a good life."
He glanced at the bunker map with nostalgia for the last time. The bright sunshine seemed to break through the drawing paper and fall on him. He seemed to have returned to the day when he was young, when he happily walked into the university campus with his admission letter in hand.
In the extremely bright sky, he rushed to the freshmen registration office of the Department of Architecture.
"Children, it's daybreak..."
With a vague sigh, all his strength was lost, and Yang Qi slowly closed his eyes.
Far far away on the horizon, there was just a ray of morning light, sharply cutting through the black sky.
* * *
Today's weather in Yicheng is still cloudy with little sun.
This kind of climate is people's favorite time. The sky is bright and there is no wind or rain, which is the most suitable day for travel.
In the newly built ground-level building of Yicheng No. 01 Bunker, countless people came and went in a hurry.
Someone saw Yu Xingye and grabbed him: "Xingye? Where is Principal Wen?! Today is the first day of school. Where did he go?"
Yu Xingye said blankly: "Didn't he say he was here to prepare for the freshman entrance ceremony? Is there anyone in the office?"
"No!" the teacher said anxiously, "I've searched everywhere. I've searched all the offices in the bunker, but I didn't see anyone!" "
Then where can he go? Yu Xingye asked back, "On a day like today, our Xiao...Xiao Wen won't run around."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gui Yao walking over.
This taciturn teammate looked at him puzzledly for several times before asking: "Why are you still here?"
Yu Xingye was so confused that he couldn't help but touch his face: "Why do you look at me like that? On my face Is there anything?"
Guiyao sighed: "Master, that tree has sprouted, don't you go and take a look?"
Yang Qi passed away three years ago. According to his last wish, they buried his ashes together with a tree seed in the In a special planting area outside the bunker.
That small area was used as a thermal insulation facility, and no special lighting units were installed. Because Yang Qi has to do the last work for the bunker - when the seed germinates, it means the real spring is coming.
Yu Xingye was shocked all over. He turned around and ran away without saying a word.
In the special planting area, Wen Baizhou and Lu Heng had been squatting in front of the small tree bud for a long time.
Wen Baizhou is always good at communicating with his elders. He told Yang Qi with a smile: "The modular ground living area I customized for my home is completely completed today. Although the radiation clouds in the sky have not completely dissipated in the past few years, the It has become a lot brighter. Although it is cloudy most of the time, we all feel that we can move to the ground. Let everyone adapt to the life on the ground first and act as a buffer. When the environment is completely improved, we will guide everyone Get out of the fortress."
"But I don't think this day will be too long. Look, you have sprouted."
Wen Baizhou said, looking at each other and smiling at Lu Heng: "Everything starts to sprout, and the blue sky and white clouds are definitely not far away. La."
The wind was blowing high in the sky. Yu Xingye ran out of the living area on the ground, and the radiation protection suit he wore was rustled by the strong wind.
He kept running towards the special planting area, but when he was about to get close, he suddenly stopped.
The gray clouds in the sky cracked open at some point, and light jumped down lightly.
It fell on that little special growing area, lighting up their future.
