"Bobby Guo."
The balcony door was gently opened. Guo Baibai turned around and saw Gao Yuan.
"No, what's the matter?" Guo Baibai said as he turned around, returning to the position of holding his cheek with one leg.
"Look at the door of my bedroom. You can tell from the corridor that I'm on the balcony, so come over and have a look."
The air was silent for a moment, and Gao Yuan suddenly said: "Guo Baibo, why do you want to hide it from Lao Gu?"
"What do I mean?"
"Everyone. Wu Qi disappeared on the battlefield, but I made up a fake appearance that the city lord asked him to go on a temporary business trip," Gao Yuan said softly, "Wu Qi disappeared. Everyone was sad, but he felt there was no need to hide it. Look after Lao Gu. If Wu Qi doesn’t come back for a long time, Lao Gu will always know. Instead of waiting until then, it’s better to do it from the beginning... "
Guo Baibo stared at the fragments of moonlight reflected in the blue lake, and suddenly said: "Gao Yuan, Wu Qifu is missing, but because of this, the reunion dinner that Lao Gu has been waiting for for a long time turned into an atmosphere where everyone had a bitter look. Do I think that’s really good?”
Gaoyuan is speechless. Guo Baibo lifted the hair around his ears and continued: "Everyone has experienced three wars in a row and is very tired. Each of them needs a good rest and is full of energy to face the future that is still full of thorns. He made up lies I don’t want to hide it from Lao Gu. On the one hand, I don’t want him to be suddenly hit when he is in a high-spirited working period. On the other hand, he hopes that their ‘Black Rider’ will be able to look up and move forward starting from tomorrow night’s meal.”
Gao Yuan glanced at Guo Baibai's profile in surprise. Guo Baibai's expression is very calm, and his expression, eyes, and tone have a somewhat similar temperament to Wu Qi.
Gao Yuanmou thought Wu Qi was missing, and Guo Baibai, who was very cruel to Wu Qi, was the saddest person among them, but Guo Baibai's performance really surprised him. What surprised him was not that he suspected that Guo Baibo was wrong about Wu Qi's feelings, but that he was surprised by how quickly Guo Baibo cheered up.
Does Guo Baibo proceed from the perspective of benefiting the entire team's progress? So even though she was the saddest one among them all, perhaps because of this, she felt motivated and wanted to take the initiative to push the entire team out of the sad atmosphere.
"He understands." Gao Yuanru said.
"Um."
"But there is an ugly saying that he thinks he should tell me in advance." Gao Yuan changed the subject.
Guo Bobai was silent for a short moment, and then said: "Let me tell you."
"Is it a good thing that I am so strong now, but please tell him honestly, have I ever thought in my heart, 'Wu Qi can't die, he must be alive.'" Gao Yuan said slowly.
Guo Baibai crossed his legs and fingers, uncrossed them, and crossed them again. At first, he tried hard to keep his voice calm and said: "No... and I don't want to say no. He didn't deceive himself. Wu Qifu If he disappears, he may be dead, or he may not be dead, the probability is half wrong."
Gao Yuan saw Guo Bobo's slight movements in his eyes. Without telling the truth, he slowly stood up from his seat and walked to the door of the balcony.
"That's good. The only thing he's afraid of is whether I'll hypnotize myself by mistake and 100% believe that Wu Qi is alive. In the unlikely event that Wu Qi really leaves them, he's worried that I won't be able to bear the truth." Gao Yuan Facing the direction of the door.
Gao Yuan's worries are not excessive. There were indeed people like that in that life. Someone who was particularly close to them suddenly disappeared, but they behaved calmer and less sentimental than everyone else. And when they wait until some time in the future or in a deserted place, they will have a mental breakdown without warning. It turns out that it is often more difficult to get out of the quagmire than the person who initially fell into sentimentality.
Regarding Wu Qi's disappearance, any rational person knows that the probability of Wu Qi's death is extremely slim, unless a miracle occurs. Gao Yuan also knew that.
In terms of time, Gao Yuan met Wu Qi and fought side by side with Wu Qi much earlier than Guo Baibo. His inner sentimentality was like the flood that overflowed the river on a rainy night, almost swallowing up his calmness and strength, leaving him trapped for a long time. A period of trance. Even now, Gao Yuan has difficulty accepting the reality that Wu Qi is no longer with them. It all seemed like a nightmare, so unreal, scary, but impossible to escape.
Keren is a very magical creature. When someone else falls into sadness with oneself, and that person is "weaker" than oneself, then he or she will have the courage to protect the weak; that kind of courage will help people dilute the sadness. , getting stronger than the real strength. In the final analysis, Gao Yuan and Guo Baibo, who he worries about, are not the same. They both want to protect and help their sad teammates cheer up and look forward, thus ignoring their own sadness.
No one can overcome the sadness of the sudden departure of someone they have always trusted in such a short period of time, but in a war period when the road ahead is full of darkness and thorns, all mortals can do is to be determinedly strong and use a weapon with a higher survival rate. Way to live eastward.
Gao Yuan turned the doorknob and walked out. Dong Guo Baibai was alone again on the balcony.
I don’t know when, but at a certain moment, a feeling of loneliness swept over me from nowhere and took away the sense of fulfillment in Guo Baibo’s chest. She felt empty in her chest, so she covered her heart and rubbed, rubbed, deeper and deeper, as hard as if she was begging to be rubbed into the pit of her heart through the flesh of her chest.
"How could it be? He obviously didn't cry."
Guo Baibo wiped the corners of his eyes and repeatedly confirmed that he was not crying. But her heart was about to turn sour, and her shoulders, back, stomach, and legs all felt cold for no reason.
Originally, Guo Baibo was deceiving herself mentally, but Gao Yuan's words cut into her heart and exposed the flaws in her self-deception. Now the fragility of the psychological being is reflected in the physical being, and it becomes like that.
Guo Baibo curled up in his chair, trying to ease the cold feeling, but it didn't work. A few seconds later, she twitched her moist nose, slapped Liangdong's cheeks with her legs, and said to herself: "Why is he staying outside in the cold? Go to bed early."
So Guo Baibo stood up, opened the door and closed it again, and left the balcony where the night breeze was gradually blowing.
... ...
The following month. The sun rises as usual, with pure red clouds floating in the blue sky. The golden sunlight shines through the thin clouds, just enough to warm the body. The breeze blows, and the rows of artificial trees along the street sway their green leaves in the wind. The green leaves of the tree crowns are reflected on the bright ground, always swaying slightly.
In front of the Supreme Command Building, a man and a woman stood in the square. These two people are Xiao Kui and Ke Ling.
"Soldiers in other bases affiliated with Noah City are required to submit their talent resume and application form, and they can temporarily obtain the right to live in Noah Base and be temporarily incorporated into a team of soldiers who are short of personnel. That new rule , there is no need for him to repeat it again." Xiao Kui looked at Ke Ling and said.
"Okay, brother, his ears are full of tears. Should I go with him or not?" Ke Ling said angrily.
Xiao Kui snorted and said, "I have to ask my brother to accompany me for such a simple thing. It seems that I haven't been independent for ten years."
Ke Ling grabbed one of Xiao Kui's arms and said coquettishly: "Who wouldn't ask him to go alone for such a trivial matter? I'll just be content. I have a sister who is very attached to me when she grows up. Besides, I don't We’ve already gone there, and he was too deliberate to purposely throw things away.”
Of course there is no need to testify to Ke Ling's ability on her own, but she still appears to be begging for company at certain times, and even acts coquettishly about it. Xiao Kui just wanted to tease Ke Ling.
The two walked into the Supreme Command Building and took the elevator there. The elevator is fixed at the 5th floor. When you step out, you will find a huge floor with a floor made entirely of black marble.
This is where you can change or upgrade parts of the system. After the new recruitment order rules are issued, that department will have many more soldiers to complete the recruitment process.
Ordinary soldiers from the other four bases who apply for recruitment orders must first submit an application to the Survey Corps headquarters system of their respective bases and pass the screening. Only the elites will be eligible to obtain temporary Noah City establishment and report to Noah Base. The very few people like Ke Ling who are already at Noah Base can apply directly there.
Ke Ling naturally considered himself to be an elite soldier. She submitted her application materials to the staff carefully and politely. Although she was confident, she was a little nervous.
"Ke Ling, I am not the first soldier to respond to the recruitment order, but I am the first to report." The young female staff member said.
"It doesn't matter even if you think about it. After all, there are all kinds of coincidences." Ke Ling Rushuo said.
"Since you are here, let's have an interview. Although the conditions for joining Noah Base have been relaxed a lot, the bottom line set by Noah Base to protect middle and low-level soldiers will never be low unless your personal strength is sufficient."
Ke Ling nodded: "Okay."
Before going to the interview, he asked Ke Ling to say hello to Xiao Kui and told Xiao Kui that he would definitely succeed. Xiao Kui watched Ke Ling leave with trusting eyes, which was like cheering her up.
Because of that sister, Xiao Kui is still the same as before, worried that she will be in danger on the battlefield.
The enemies that the other four bases faced were at most the Plague Breed Legion commanded by a third-level overlord blessed by one of the Thirteen Thrones. However, the enemies that Noah's base faced last month were three Thrones and three that appeared at once. The plague is everywhere. To a certain extent, the enemies of Noah Base are infinitely powerful, and the new soldiers joining Noah Base are bound to join the battlefield with high casualty rate and the most powerful enemy.
That's true, but counting it in another account is another matter. Once a certain throne appears on a battlefield among the other four bases, it will be difficult for that base to win the Eastern War if it does not have top combat power that can compete with the throne.
Xiao Kui personally witnessed the battle at Dawn Base, so rather than letting Ke Ling return to Dusk Base to fight on a battlefield where the enemy is weaker, he would rather Ke Ling stay with him and fight against the legion led by the throne himself.
