Everyone was stunned for a while, no one would have thought that they would see Han Qi here.
Tsuruta was the first to react, and quickly touched the gun on his waist, "Why are you here?"
"I live here." Han Qi raised his eyebrows as a matter of course, put the teacup on the table, crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Hetian, "I advise you not to touch that gun, this house is full of armed guards. The defense system, if it detects that you have a tendency to use weapons, it will immediately launch an attack."
Luo Wei's brows almost twisted together, "Are you the leader of the rescuers?"
Han Qi smiled smartly and confidently, "Of course... not. I'm just helping to look after the house, and by the way, I borrowed the equipment here as a laboratory." His eyes fell on Mercury and Peacock, and his eyes lit up, "Hi It's been a long time since the two beauties. Oops, Mercury, why are you looking so bad?"
"Didn't you join the Freedom Alliance?" Luo Wei interrupted him with a slightly impatient tone. After all, they had run so far and didn't want to find out that the rescuer was just a puppet of the Freedom Alliance, "What the hell are you in the rescuer's house? What identity is it!"
"Like the other rescuers, he has left the Freedom Alliance." Another slow female voice was suddenly inserted, and everyone turned to look at the person who was walking down the stairs. It was a tall and straight lady in her sixties, her all-white hair was tied into a strict bun, her eyes behind her glasses were bright and spirited, and she was wearing a classic and elegant dress. She walked straight to Mercury and held out her hand, "Welcome."
Mercury shook the hand symbolically, and looked at the strange lady with solemn eyes. This face engraved with traces of the years made him inexplicably feel deja vu. "Who are you."
Her eyes swept across the three people behind Mercury, with a kind and polite smile, "I am the main person in charge of the rescuers now, you can call me Tang Qing."
Tang Qing…
After a moment of hesitation, a certain memory suddenly entered Mercury's mind.
CD… Valentine Project…
She is the female doctor who created Tang Ya and Tang Yi! It was she who took Tang Yi and Tang Ya out of the Freedom Alliance and left the two babies in the territory of the third base.
Is she still alive
The shock in Mercury's eyes did not escape her attention. Tang Qing nodded understandingly and looked at him with a softer, even kinder look.
Tsuruta and others noticed the abnormality of Mercury, and looked at the elegant lady with a bit of alertness. Tang Qing turned slightly sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Please sit." At the same time, she instructed the machine butler standing by the wall, "Rogers, go get some snacks."
The four of them were seated on the exquisitely embroidered sofa, while Han Qi was still sitting in the same place as if he was at home, staring at Mercury and looking left and right with great interest. But Mercury didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and all kinds of guesses swirled in his mind.
"I know you must have a lot of problems." Tang Qing said in a steady and low female voice while pouring tea into the cup, "I am not the founder of the rescuers, the person you are looking for is not in good health and needs to recuperate. , so I went to seclusion a year ago. I will take care of it for the time being."
"You've always been alive?" Quicksilver asked suddenly.
Tang Qing paused slightly and raised her head, "Yes, I have always been alive. I disguised my death and escaped the pursuit of the Freedom Alliance, and have been living in seclusion in the fifth base ever since."
Everyone was confused and didn't know what Mercury was talking about. But looking at Mercury's solemn expression, he knew that now was not the time to interject.
"Is it you who Tang Ya asked Tang Yi to contact?"
Tang Qing showed a look of approval, "Not bad."
Mercury paused for a long time. A sense of anxiety rose from his chest, and the cheeks on his neck seemed to be dehydrated. After a long time, he asked in a tense voice, "Tang Yi... is he still alive?"
Tang Qing looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.
And her silence has represented everything, Tsuruta Luo Wei and even Peacock's eyes widened in astonishment.
"How is this possible... At that time, obviously..." Luo Wei couldn't continue. Everyone understands what he wants to say. Under the power of the nuclear bomb, how can there be anything left
Tang Qing sighed, "I shouldn't have told you. He didn't want you to know."
Mercury forgot to breathe, and her heart trembled violently.
The unexplainable taste is ecstasy, or sadness because the other party doesn't want him to know.
Tang Qing continued, "Tang Ya protected Tang Yi with his body. His modified body can obviously resist a certain degree of thermal radiation and shock waves. Later, the tsunami extinguished the fire, and Tang Yi was washed ashore. We found his At one point I thought he was dead, but fortunately a faint pulse was found."
She paused, the whole hall was silent, only the sound of Han Qi drinking tea could be heard.
"For the next three years, he struggled with radiation syndrome, and he almost died several times. But his vitality was not very strong, and he finally survived. Later, he used the assets left by Tang Ya to carry out the Kraken. The rescue of refugees and refugees led to the creation of an organization called Refugees. It was not until a year ago that his health deteriorated again and he left here.”
Tang Qing said everything lightly, but when he stopped in the mercury ear, the words were as sharp as a blade, cutting him with blood.
Tang Yi didn't die. It should have been a miraculous event, but he had never heard of radiation syndrome. Vomiting, high fever, internal bleeding, skin ulcers…
He couldn't believe that Tang Yi was enduring these tortures silently, and he didn't know anything about it.
"Why... didn't you tell me?" Mercury's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the back of his throat, his hands clenched tightly, trembling slightly.
Tang Qing took off her glasses and looked at the Kraken who was tormented by self-blame and pain with calm eyes, "He's in very bad health now, I don't know how many years left... He said, he doesn't want you to watch it. to the way he is now."
Mercury's eyes widened slightly, suspicious moisture overflowing his eyes, but those blue eyes finally showed a vivid emotion that had never been seen in eight years. Although the emotion was deeply distressed, it seemed like something had died, and it rekindled.
"I have no children in my life, Tang Ya and Tang Yi are like my children, although I have not fulfilled any obligation to raise them." She lowered her head and concealed the emotion in her eyes, "This time, I am carrying him behind my back. I agree with you, because I know that he actually wants to see you... No, it should be said that he needs to see you."
Mercury stared at her like burning blue eyes, "Where is he?"
"Before you decide to go, you need to think clearly." Tang Qing looked at him with a serious expression, almost sternly, "Now he is no longer the lively Tang Yi before. The damage caused by radiation is continuous. , he has a high possibility of suffering from various cancers, and may not live as long as a normal human being. And you have a lifespan of nearly five hundred years."
Mercury's posture didn't change. He listened carefully to Tang Qing's words, thought about it carefully, and then said, "I figured it out."
No matter how much time was left, even if it was only one day, he would not waste a moment.
It was their last hope after all.
happy hope.
Tang Qing nodded slightly, pursing her lips tightly, softening a slightly relieved smile.
Before they left, Han Qi handed a chip to Mercury, "The improved formula of the anti-binding reagent can effectively reduce various side effects."
Mercury took the chip, gave it to Peacock, and then said to Han Qi, "The Krakens will remember your help."
Han Qi smiled narcissistically and waved his hand, "It's easy to say, it's a repayment of Tang Yi's kindness for sending people to save my father from the Freedom Alliance and the Third Base. Before you go to see him, drink it yourself. "
Mercury lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I don't need it anymore." Finally, he nodded to him and turned to leave.
Tang Qing stood in front of the gate of the villa, watching the backs of the silver-haired Kraken and Hetian leaving, and sighed.
I hope she did nothing wrong.
—
Tang Yi retched while lying on the toilet. Even though he hadn't eaten anything, he was still nauseated. The sour taste of gastric juice filled his mouth, and his face was wrinkled in pain.
After flushing the gastric juices from the toilet, he straightened up and looked at the emaciated and pale man in the mirror with some distress.
When he was just rescued, he had multiple burns all over his body. Later, after several skin grafting operations, most of the scars were finally removed. The doctor even removed the scars on his face along the way. Now in the mirror is a bloodless face of a middle-aged man with a light stubble. One dark and one pale yellow pupils looked forward with some dazed eyes.
He was thin, and his clothes seemed a little too fat. Seeing himself like this every morning, he also forgot what the healthy and strong self in the past was like.
I washed my face with cold water, squeezed a lot of toothpaste and brushed the taste in my mouth, and then I ate a handful of tablets of various colors as a routine, and took them with cold water.
Along the long corridor, the dilapidated windows of the abandoned orphanage were pushed open one by one. The long branches of the withered apple tree reached out to his window, reaching out to touch. He stood by the window, breathing the cool morning air. The child who took care of him was mowing the weeds near the courtyard wall outside the window, and the morning light shone on his young skin and smooth black hair, looking vigorous.
Tang Yi recalled that when he was his age, he seemed to be watching adult movies with Su Han in the military academy, right
Recently, I like to recall the past more and more, giving birth to a certain feeling of sunset red. He was only thirty-six years old, his temples had already grown white hair, and when it rained, his whole body was sore. No wonder the old man laughed all the time that he was more like an old man than himself.
With a sigh, he moved back to his room - the spacious lobby where he and Tang Ya lived before. This has been transformed into his room. Apart from a comfortable bed and a projection computer, there are cabinets of ancient books. When he wasn't sick and had nothing to do, he read those books over and over again.
He still likes to read books about sea monsters the most, and likes to read the bizarre illustrations in the Book of Mountains and Seas over and over again. He rubbed the illustration of the mermaid with his fingers, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.
He knew that Mercury had built a new Guixu city in the trench, and that the devastated Krakens finally found their homes in the sea little by little. In the dream, he stared at the pair of ice blue pupils again and again, trying to reach out and grab the cold hand again and again, but when he reached out, he saw that his skin was rapidly festering, leaving only the bones.
At that time, he would wake up panting and staring at the high roof with wide eyes. The surrounding air suddenly squeezed against him, and he would tightly wrap the quilt around his body, finding the illusion of being embraced.
Eight years is long enough for a human being. He traced the face of a siren in his mind over and over again, but he still inevitably felt that the face became a little blurry. He was afraid, afraid that when he dreamed of mercury one day, there was only a blank face left.
It would be great if there was even a photo with Mercury. He was annoyed that he didn't know what he was doing at that time, but he had no choice but to try harder to remember.
The strange old man had already prepared breakfast and put it on his table. Tang Yi felt a little sick after eating two bites of bread, and pushed the plate aside. He sighed at the light and shadow cast through the stained glass, it was the same day again.
It seems that Tan Mingyuan will come to review him today, right
He secretly hid the bread under the pillow, drank the milk, and went to the kitchen with his plate. The strange old man was watering the pots of flowers on the windowsill, and glanced at his plate, "Have you really finished eating?"
"real."
"Hmph, wait for me to check in your room later."
"Hey... have some confidence in me?"
"Hmph, I'm really confused if I believe you." The strange old man turned around and glared at him.
At this time, the kitchen door was suddenly opened, and the child named A Qi ran in, blushing, "Brother Tang, someone is looking for you!"
"You mean Dr. Tan?"
"No." A Qi looked nervous, "He looks a bit... strange? I haven't seen him... He must see you, but I can't stop him, what should I do? Shall we kick him out?"
Tang Yi frowned, unable to think of any guests, could it be sent by Tang Qing? He stood up, "It's okay, take me to see him."
He followed Ah Qi to the first floor, pushed open the two heavy wooden doors, and the white sunlight flooded in instantly, making him dizzy for a moment. When he got used to the light outside, he saw the figure standing alone under the apple tree.
Tang Yi felt that everything around him disappeared in an instant. He couldn't hear anything except the beating of his heart, which was so heavy that it surprised him.
He must have entered a dream.
Otherwise, how can I see him
The light mist in the morning hovered between the two silent figures. Time suddenly stood still, and the stolen moments between them seemed like they had never left.
After a while, the silver figure moved. The beautiful sea fairy strode towards him, her white hair fluttering behind her like a veil, her fair to blue face, a pair of blue eyes that took all the stars of the day, and stared at him with the most attentive eyes in the world .
The next moment, he fell into a broad embrace.
The distant breath of the sea gently wrapped him heavily, as if he was afraid that he would disappear, the tight force took his breath away. Tang Yi's eyes widened, tears poured out of control.
He opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Mercury was also silent, and after a while, he gently lifted his thin cheeks.
This is Tang Yi, the living Tang Yi.
The young man who used to fly like sunshine and warm, is now such a thin and pale man. Mercury felt like she was drinking a cup of sweet wine, so heartache and so happy.
He kissed the chapped lips, as if absorbing life and as if giving life.
It's like it took a lifetime.
When they finally separated, Tang Yi, a man in his forties, cried like a child. Mercury gently wiped the tears from his face with his thumb.
Tang Yi asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you come?"
He clearly didn't want to see Mercury, he didn't want to be seen by Mercury as he was now, and he didn't want to be a burden to him or anyone else. He was obviously ready to go through the rest of his journey alone.
But at this moment, he realized that he had been waiting for the arrival of mercury.
Mercury pressed his forehead against Tang Yi's and closed his eyes slightly.
"Sorry...for making you wait so long."
But I won't let you wait any longer.
In the days to come, if there is pain or happiness, I will accompany you to bear it.
The abandoned orphanage was still so quiet, and the surrounding towns had not fully woken up. The whole world is bathed in the peaceful dawn light, so peaceful and quiet, as if there has never been war and killing, injury and misfortune, pain and parting. The vast sea is rolling with stern waves, smashing and colliding with the reefs again and again, and occasionally you can hear the beautiful singing.
The suffering in this world is far from over, and the world that is collapsing day by day cannot be redeemed by one person. But no matter how deep the despair, hope never dies.
And a new era will come.
Finish
The author has something to say: Wow, the pit is finally flat~~~
And it is my rare HE has wood! ! !
The era of the sea monster has just begun (after all, it has just been liberated), and it is not ruled out that there will be extras and related articles in the future (such as Lee and the free messenger). I really didn't expect this pseudo-science fiction to be dug up so long by me. Thanks to all the comrades who are chasing the article! ! ! bow! ! ! !
Then I have started digging a new hole, and I am still saving the article. It is an ABO theme~ I hope that my comrades who like me will have the time to collect my column, so that I will continue to abuse it in the future (huh?)
