Wearing a cute pink apron and a pair of white bunny slippers, Yao Yao happily walked to the table with a steaming hot pot in her hands. ⊙,
Yao Yao has always been very hardworking.
Lin Ling, on the other hand, is completely on the other extreme.
Holding chopsticks in her hands, Lin Ling was staring at the piles of fresh vegetables and raw meat with sharp eyes, her small tongue looming between her lips.
"Ouch! There's hot pot to eat! Hey hey, delicious hot pot~"
"Don't just wait to eat, it will help Yao Yao in some way."
After unpacking the "conjured" ingredients and pouring the beef rolls with ice on the plate, Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling who was about to make a move and complained.
The preservation function of the storage space is extremely powerful.
In a sense, this is really a convenient ability.
"No, it's okay." Hearing Jiang Chen's concern for her, Yao Yao's face turned red and she opened and closed her little mouth. "It doesn't take a lot of help to prepare the hot pot. Sister Xiaorou is enough."
"Did you hear that? Yao Yao said everything is fine." Lin Ling raised her chin proudly.
Jiang Chen looked at her with shame.
I don't understand what she is so proud of.
As Yao Yao said, hot pot doesn’t require a lot of trouble to prepare.
The family sat around the table, and after a while the soup was boiling.
When adding vegetables to the hot pot, Lin Ling acted extremely diligently. Seeing the food she put in the pot cooking deliciously made her, who couldn't cook, feel unusually satisfied.
This is part of the fun of eating hot pot.
Of course, the greatest pleasure of eating hot pot is sitting together as a family and chatting.
Jiang Chen was glad more than once that he chose to confess his secret to Sun Jiao and Yao Yao instead of weaving a "beautiful lie" about his origins.
It takes ten lies to complete a lie.
And when the lie is exposed, the gap caused by the close people cannot be overcome by a simple apology.
How is it like now
He could sit at the dinner table and chat with the girls about the interesting things that happened in that world in a casual tone. Look at the envious expressions on their faces and listen to their opinions from another world. As he talked, Jiang Chen never came to the group. We talked about Mindanao, and finally we talked about the Black Ship Organization.
"Black Ship Organization? How could someone be so stupid? Why don't you just change yourself into a bug if you want to?" Sun Jiao stuck out her tongue and dropped a piece of beef into her spicy red mouth. Chewing with pleasure.
Compared to Yao Yao, who is a food-eater, Sun Jiao is an out-and-out carnivore.
Of course, because of the effect of genetic medicine on metabolic rate, she could eat no matter how much she ate without gaining weight.
"You can't say that." Compared to her sister, Sun Xiaorou's opinions are often more intellectual. "I heard that before the war, Nato also used the advantages of democracy to launch a propaganda offensive against PAC and successfully incited people in South Asia to rebel. The PAC Mechanical Brigade led by Sister Junhua once participated in the campaign against PAC. Is there a crackdown there?”
"Rebellion... This is different from the Black Ship Organization." Jiang Chen sighed.
"It's the same," Lin Ling waved her chopsticks and said leisurely, "Human beings are always full of unrealistic fantasies about things outside. Foreign lands, foreign provinces, foreign countries. Expand the set of phenomena to the planetary scale Extraterrestrial civilizations... are all the same. How will they live? In what way will they solve the problems we face? Ah, it is really desirable... Well, that's probably it. In behavioral science, it is called The distance from beauty is often blind, but the pursuit of beauty is often blind.”
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Ling unexpectedly.
"Look, look at what I'm looking at." Lin Ling felt a little embarrassed when Jiang Chen saw her. She blushed and said viciously.
"I didn't expect that Lin Ling would occasionally say such profound words." Sun Jiao said jokingly, her red lips curved.
Yao Yao also nodded "Yeah" and looked at Lin Ling with incredible eyes.
"That's enough! I'm a scientist after all, okay! Don't look at me like that, I'm older than all of you put together! I'm not the kind of dilettante who spent more than twenty years just after waking up!" Lin Ling blushed. He waved his little fist angrily.
Everyone laughed. Sun Xiaorou, who was sitting next to her, gently touched Lin Ling's head, "For girls, being older is not something worth showing off."
Lin Ling pouted, blushing and enjoying Sun Xiaorou's head touch, and stopped talking.
Sun Jiao raised her head, took a sip of Coke, and said casually.
"But when it comes to the world outside the stars... it always feels very far away."
"Yeah... It's completely unimaginable." Yao Yao also echoed in a low voice.
"Compared to the distance in space, the distance in time is more confusing... One hundred years later. Whether I can see the day of the decisive battle is a question." Jiang Chen joked.
"That's not necessarily true." Lin Ling's ears twitched, she raised her head and said, "There are many ways to extend life..."
Speaking of this, she turned her face to the side in embarrassment and said in a textbook arrogant manner.
"After all...if you died so soon, I...I would be bored."
The lifespan of cyborgs is much longer than that of humans. And the higher the degree of modification, the longer the lifespan.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Laughing, what are you laughing at!" Lin Ling said slightly angrily.
"Lin Ling is an honest child." Xiaorou said with a smile, with a faint light of interest in her eyes.
"Yao, Yao Yao will be very lonely too!" Yao Yao raised his hand unwilling to be outdone and plucked up the courage to say.
Because of his slow growth, Yao Yao, who is clearly in adolescence, still shows no sign of development. In Lin Ling's words, with her current growth rate, she might still look like this little Loli in ten years.
In theory, she would also live a long life.
Sun Jiao sighed and said in her usual straightforward style.
"In this case, why don't we all live together forever?"
"Sister, in a sense, eternal life is a curse." Xiaorou said meaningfully.
"Really? Can living forever be called a curse?" Sun Jiao said nonchalantly.
"But if you stay with interesting people, I'm afraid you won't be bored no matter how long it takes." Xiaorou glanced at Jiang Chen and then sighed quietly.
Eternal life...
It's really attractive to people who hold power.
Thinking of the secret about eternal life revealed by Boyu of the Twilight Church, Jiang Chen suddenly looked at Sun Jiao and asked.
"Speaking of which, Sun Jiao, where is your hometown...that is, where is Vault 71?"
"Shelter No. 71? That one, it's near Hongcheng. What's wrong?" Sun Jiao tilted her head and said casually while chewing food.
"It's decided!" Jiang Chen suddenly stood up, "The goal of the expedition will be Hongcheng!"
Sun Jiao looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and swallowed the food in her mouth.
"Are you sure? Hongcheng is five to six hundred kilometers away from here!"
There are zombies, alien species, marauders, mutants, and cannibals lurking along the way... A strong lone traveler may be able to cross such a long distance, and a caravan protected by mercenaries may also be able to barely pass, but the army For such a huge goal to span such a long distance, first of all, it is a terrible pressure on logistics.
However, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Don't forget, we also have a steel airship!" (.)
