MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 9 world
Just like that, Shi Yuan boarded Lu Tinghan's aircraft.
The aircraft skimmed through the dense night. But here is different from the wasteland. When Shi Yuan looked out the window, most of the buildings were gray and uneven, some old and some new, and some were ruins. The streets cut them into chaos, and there were few pedestrians. A patrol in black was walking by with guns.
After 20 minutes, the aircraft came to a new area.
The buildings here are much more regular, they are all single-family houses, the streets are also very clean, and there are many guards standing guard. They landed in the community, Lu Tinghan led Shi Yuan into a remote building, opened the door, the room was spacious and empty.
The house is a duplex structure with two floors and is well decorated.
The walls are clean, the lights are bright, the living room only has a sofa and TV, and the open kitchen has a symbolic pot, no seasoning, and the refrigerator is empty. It's been cleaned regularly, the floors are spotless, it's just not the least bit unpopular.
Shi Yuan asked, "Is this your home?"
"Yeah." Lu Tinghan said, "I don't come back often to one of these homes." He took off his coat and put it on the hanger, "You can live here first, and choose a room on the first floor. Tonight you Don't go out, someone will take you to check again tomorrow."
"Oh..." Shi Yuan said, "I have drawn blood many times."
"Tomorrow is a more comprehensive inspection." Lu Tinghan replied, "When the inspection report comes out, you can go wherever you want."
"All right."
"Go to sleep." Lu Tinghan said.
Lu Tinghan took off his gloves and put them aside, and sat on the sofa. He leaned back, looked up at the white ceiling, took a deep breath silently, and let it out slowly.
Even then, he wasn't completely relaxed. He is like a bow that is always taut, a sword that refuses to return to its sheath, ready to go into battle at any time.
The people from the logistics department came diligently and cleaned the place cleaner than the model house, and of course the ceiling was also taken care of. The ceiling was very white, almost pale. Sometimes Lu Tinghan didn't want to close his eyes, so he would let his mind go for a few minutes. When he raised his head, he had the illusion that he was floating in a white void.
This void is very monotonous, but it isolates the flames of war and death.
But today, before he could look at it for long, the paleness was covered.
An upside-down, Shi Yuan's face appeared.
Shi Yuan stood behind the sofa, looked down at him and asked, "Lu Tinghan, what are you doing?"
Lu Tinghan: "...I'm looking at the ceiling."
"No, you're looking at me now." Shi Yuan said. He got the stare and the attention, and he was content.
Lu Tinghan asked, "What else do you need?"
Shi Yuan: "I still want to touch my head."
Lu Tinghan paused for half a second: "Come here."
Shi Yuan jumped onto the sofa nimbly, and got his head patted as he wished. He asked Lu Tinghan: "Aren't you resting? Huluhulu, are you going out soon?"
"Yeah." Lu Tinghan replied, taking off his gloves and touching Shi Yuan felt different, he could clearly feel the coolness of his hair.
"You are so busy, you haven't slept all night." Shi Yuan said, "Are all generals like this?"
"The situation is tense recently." Lu Tinghan said, "It's not always so busy."
"Okay." Shi Yuan thought for a while, "Can you take me for an examination tomorrow?"
Lu Tinghan rubbed his black hair: "Anthropophobia?"
"Yes Hululu."
Lu Tinghan asked: "You are so afraid of people, why aren't you afraid of me?"
Shi Yuan said, "You are not human."
Lu Tinghan: "..."
Lu Tinghan was silent for a moment: "There are many people who scold me, but few are so straightforward."
"That's not what I meant." Shi Yuan also realized that something was wrong, "I mean, um, you don't look like a human being."
Lu Tinghan: "..."
It's not going anywhere.
Shi Yuan bent his eyes: "In short, you are different from other people, snoring, snoring, snoring."
Looking at Shi Yuan, he had no intention of explaining, Lu Tinghan could only continue to say while touching him: "I don't have time tomorrow, someone will take you there."
"Really no time?"
"Really do not have."
"Okay, so are you coming back later?"
"Maybe."
Shi Yuan said, "Do you have other houses? Don't go to those places."
Lu Tinghan touched his devil horns along the way: "Why?"
"Because there is no me there." Shi Yuan said.
This is an answer that Lu Tinghan never thought of.
He was taken aback for a moment, and laughed dumbfoundedly.
It was the first time Shi Yuan saw Lu Tinghan smiling like this.
Lu Tinghan is not yet thirty, but he has a sense of calmness and oppression that surpasses his age. It is a temperament that has been precipitated from many battles. It can convince the crowd and calm people's hearts. But when he laughed like this, his brows stretched, and his eyes shone brightly, clearly the spirit of a young man.
Lu Tinghan smiled and said, "Shi Yuan, you are really a strange person."
"Really." Shi Yuan was a little confused.
"Yes."
The clock on the wall pointed to three o'clock in the morning, Lu Tinghan rubbed Shi Yuan one last time, stood up and said, "I'm leaving, sleep well."
"Bon trip." Shi Yuan said, watching him pick up his coat and go out. He ran to the window to look outside, and saw Lu Tinghan walking towards the distant aircraft in the cold wind, and several officers greeted him. They boarded the aircraft and disappeared into the distance.
Shi Yuan looked at it for a while, making sure that he really couldn't see Lu Tinghan, so he came down from the bay window.
Lu Tinghan asked him to choose a room on the first floor. He searched around and found three vacant rooms. The stairs leading to the second floor were blocked by two small robots, and they stared at him, as if they were wary of his sudden rush to the second floor.
The second floor should be Lu Tinghan's private space.
Shi Yuan greeted them: "My name is Shi Yuan, what are your names?"
robot:"…"
Shi Yuan asked again: "What's your name?"
robot:"…"
These two robots were impolite, Shi Yuan didn't like them, and named them Po Tong and Rotten Iron respectively.
He said: "Then I'll pick a room at random." He picked a room closer to the stairs, the bed was empty, and there were clean clothes, pillows, and sheets in the closet.
He made the bed awkwardly and picked out his pajamas.
The clothes were all brand new, but they were only Lu Tinghan's size, which was too big for him. He put his mace pendant on the head of the bed, took a set of gray underwear into the bathroom, studied the switch of the shower for a while, and then took a hot shower.
Shower, go to bed, sleep.
Shi Yuan thought that human beings are really smart, they can make hot water and have such soft beds, unlike monsters who can only eat and sleep in the open.
Thinking about it, Shi Yuan became sleepy.
He tilted his head and fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as he left the room, Broken Copper put bread and milk on the table, while Rotten Iron continued to guard the stairs.
Po Tong said in a mechanical voice: [Two hours later, at 10 o'clock sharp, please cooperate with the body check. 】
"I see." Shi Yuan said, "Thank you, Potong."
Po Tong: [Tip: According to the settings, my random name is Charles. 】
Shi Yuan: "Okay Po Tong, I will remember."
Potong: […] It went back to guard the stairs again.
For the next two hours, Shi Yuan practiced using his mobile phone.
He has the contact information of Wang Yu and Lu Bafang. He didn't check his phone yesterday, but when he opened it today, there was a lot of news.
Lu Bafang: [Where have you been? Are you in town yet? 】
Lu Bafang: [Are you still with the land general? 】
Lu Bafang: [Shi Yuan, look at your phone, I taught you how to reply text messages! Click "Reply" to get back to me! 】
Lu Bafang: [Why didn't you reply to the message? Why didn't you reply to the message? Why didn't you reply to the message? 】
Lu Bafang: 【Remember to charge your phone! Don't try to feed it! 】
In contrast, Wang Yu's text message was much more concise: [After entering the city, report to us that you are safe]
Shi Yuan typed slowly and replied to Wang Yu: 【I have already entered the city】
Wang Yu didn't reply, probably busy.
Shi Yuan replied to Lu Bafang again: [Well, I'm in the city, I didn't check my phone yesterday]
Lu Bafang replied in seconds: [That's good, you are not familiar with the place where you live, and you don't know much about anything. I'm not afraid that you will get into trouble. Have you registered your identity? Did they assign you a residence? 】
Shi Yuan thought about it, and there was indeed someone who wanted to assign him yesterday, but before the assignment, he left with Lu Tinghan, and now the "address" on the ID card is still empty.
He replied to Lu Bafang: [I have registered, but I don’t have a place to live yet]
Lu Bafang: [Ah, why is this? Then where are you? You won’t be sleeping on the street, will you? 】
[No,] Shi Yuan replied, [I'm at Lu Tinghan's house]
Lu Bafang sent a series of ellipsis, which covered the entire screen.
Shi Yuan asked: [What's wrong? 】
Lu Bafang: [(strong) (strong) (strong)]
Lu Bafang: [I won’t bother you anymore (clasping fists)]
Then Shi Yuan asked again, but Lu Bafang didn't answer him anymore.
Shi Yuan could only continue to study mobile phones.
After a while, Lu Bafang sent him another message: [Shi Yuan, I haven't offended you these few days, have I? 】
Shi Yuan:?
Shi Yuan: [No, why do you ask that? 】
[That's good,] Lu Bafang was obviously relieved, [I'm afraid that a breath of wind from my pillow will blow me to death]
Shi Yuan's tail bent into a question mark in confusion.
When he finally learned to watch the video, someone knocked on the door, and it was the medical staff who took him for an examination.
The two showed their IDs, then took Shi Yuan into the car and drove to another huge, pure white building.
There were very few people in the building, and there were no mutants. Shi Yuan was not so nervous when he occasionally saw a few people in blue and white hospital gowns. A white-haired old man came over, pushed his glasses, and asked, "Your name is Shi Yuan, right? General Lu asked you to come?"
"Yes." Shi Yuan replied.
"You can call me Professor Guan." The old man said, "Come with me."
They walked in the corridor one after the other, and the smell of disinfectant was in the air. When passing by the window, Shi Yuan vaguely heard crying.
Sorrowful and sad, with a long ending, crying out of breath.
Shi Yuan asked, "Why is he crying?"
"His test results came out." Professor Guan replied, "It's a common thing."
A few more steps forward, the crying was drowned out by the sound of the wind.
They went all the way to the top floor, where there were many instruments that Shi Yuan didn't know. Professor Guan ordered the staff. In the next five hours, Shi Yuan was drawn several large tubes of blood. Various instruments were in operation. Someone carefully studied his devil horns, someone checked his pupils, someone held his The ct results were repeatedly confirmed.
The final conclusion is that Shi Yuan is really healthy.
Except the heart was beating too fast — the anthropophobia was rampant.
After finally waiting for the results to come out, Shi Yuan waited for Professor Guan on the bench outside.
It was already evening, and the rich sunset light came in from the window and fell on his shoulders. He was a little sleepy, and he didn't dare to sleep, so he yawned with his tail in his arms.
Professor Guan called Lu Tinghan in the office.
"We did the most comprehensive inspection and found nothing unusual," he said.
Lu Tinghan said, "That's good."
Professor Guan: "Are you... suspecting that there is something wrong with him?"
"It's a little bit, maybe it's my illusion." Lu Tinghan said, "I've never seen his type of infection."
"If you haven't seen it, it's even less likely for others to know about it." Professor Guan said, "However, I said that Shi Yuan 'did not find any abnormalities' based on existing scientific standards. The infection mutated too quickly, During this period of time, the pollution value has fluctuated greatly, and there are some things that we may not be aware of. So do we need to do anything else?"
Lu Tinghan was silent for two seconds: "It's enough. If there is any abnormality, I will deal with it."
"Then I'll find someone to take Shiyuan back?" Professor Guan asked.
"No need." Lu Tinghan said, "I'm almost downstairs."
Professor Guan was taken aback.
Shi Yuan didn't see the professor coming out for a long time, and was drowsy, but his phone vibrated.
Unknown number: [Shiyuan, go downstairs]
For some reason, he knew at a glance that the text message was sent by Lu Tinghan. Professor Guan just left the office, Shi Yuan said "thank you" to him, and then ran away.
Lu Tinghan's car is downstairs, the dark silver body is very low profile. When Shi Yuan got into the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator silently, Lu Tinghan asked, "How is today?"
He changed into casual clothes, a pure black shirt, and slim pants that outlined the lines of his long legs.
"I saw a lot of people." Shi Yuan said, "There are also a lot of instruments."
"Are you scared?"
"A little."
Lu Tinghan nodded, and said, "You haven't eaten yet, let me take you somewhere."
After 15 minutes, the car stopped at the intersection, and the pedestrian area was further ahead, and vehicles could not enter.
Lu Tinghan put on a black mask to cover his face, Shi Yuan followed him out of the car, and the plainclothes guards were not far from them.
This is a long street with old buildings and peeling walls, and there are many construction sites along the road with cordons.
It was dinner time, and the workers were shirtless, with white towels draped over bronzed shoulders. They formed a circle, and the wind was full of sweaty heat. In the center of the circle, there were several large buckets of rice and porridge. The person holding the rice spoon shouted: "Come one by one! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, show the meal coupon, everyone has it." share! Hey, don't jump in line!"
Going forward, there are more people.
Shi Yuan saw a kindergarten. The iron gate opened, and a few chubby human cubs poured out, running faster than the wind, and the schoolbags on their backs rattled.
There were a lot of people here, Shi Yuan quickened his pace, grabbed Lu Tinghan's cuff, and said, "It's so lively."
"It's just a break time." Lu Tinghan said, "This area is a living area under construction, and there is a restaurant in front of it."
Sure enough, small vendors soon appeared on the side of the road.
Most of what they sell is compressed food and nutritional supplements. All kinds of food reserves are piled up on the trolley, and the prices are clearly marked: [Canned corn 15 Union coins] [Nutrition supplements 10 Union coins] [Compressed biscuits 13 Union coins] [Canned pork 60 Union coins] Union currency]
Only one person was selling hot roasted ham sausage. Shi Yuan hadn't seen it before, so after a few more glances, Lu Tinghan asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Shi Yuan said, "Think."
Lu Tinghan bought a ham sausage and handed it to him. There is no meat in this ham sausage, it is all starch, but it is just baked until the skin is slightly cracked, and it is very fragrant. Shi Yuan took a few bites and said, "It's really delicious."
"There are other places to eat in front." Lu Tinghan said, "This is the most prosperous area."
Just like that, Shi Yuan tugged on Lu Tinghan's cuff and walked on the street.
With Lu Tinghan by his side, he was no longer afraid, and opened his eyes wide to look around.
The buildings are high and low, the walls are all gray and white, the only bright colors are the clothes fluttering on the balcony, red and white plaid shirts, dark blue nightdresses and autumn yellow trench coats. There was a sound of "clinking" on the construction site. The workers raised their hammers and dropped them heavily, sweat splashing, and the person holding the rice spoon knocked the porridge bucket loudly, shouting, don't jump in the queue, don't jump in the queue! Otherwise, I'll hit you on the head with a rice spoon!
Human cubs run around, laughing and playing. One of them ran so fast that he almost bumped into Lu Tinghan. Lu Tinghan held the child's shoulders and turned him around, and the child ran out like clockwork again until it fell into the arms of the parents - the woman hugged the child, she didn't recognize Lu Tinghan , smiled at him and Shi Yuan, the long skirt fluttering in the wind.
Farther away, the cook was holding the freshly baked food, and the food came with a yow! Meat is a rare commodity these days, but vegetables fried together on an open flame can be smelled from far away, and two bowls of rice can be eaten with a glass of ice water.
Shi Yuan listened to Lu Bafang tell a lot of stories about the city, and also looked at the city wall side by side with Wang Yu, but until now, he had no real feeling.
It is different from the wasteland and the high forest.
There are soft beds, hot showers, everything he has never seen before.
After a few minutes, the street lights came on one by one. The light climbed all the way along the cable until it reached a high place, not particularly bright, enough to illuminate the front. Shi Yuan heard the workers complaining that the porridge was thin again, smelled the aroma of mushrooms, lettuce and tomato, and saw the red clothes on the balcony of someone's house falling off, riding the wind, fluttering, and a bunch of little kids looking up , issued a uniform "wow -!"
No one paid any attention to them, there were too many people here to overwhelm the Admiral and his little monsters. Shi Yuan followed Lu Tinghan into the night, the ham sausage in his hand was delicious, and the road in front of him seemed endless.
Lively and bustling, vigorous and full of vitality.
He came into the world.
