From a plumber's point of view, Glick's father is definitely an outlier in this world. In this world, there must be people who care about people outside the world, and there are people who try to uncover the secrets behind the energy storm. , and there are even people who worry that the world will stop functioning one day, but under normal circumstances, most of the people who worry about these things are well-informed people, and their position determines the knowledge they can access, just like " The legendary captain of the "Hope" among the people is said to be a high-ranking monk in the former Ayutthaya Senate.
But Glick's father is just a plumber, born and raised in a humble town called "Condenser", a plumber who has been dealing with metal sorting work all his life, so his knowledge is really true It can only be impressive.
No wonder even a generous and peaceful old man like Barnard would make a "crazy" evaluation of old Glick. As a commoner, old Glick is really too out of gregarious, maybe he is just a Belongs to the wave of severe persecution paranoia, of course, his "paranoia" is 100% true.
Glick showed us many things about his father, including creaking data terminals, flickering holograms, and old notebooks and pictures. After hundreds of thousands of years, many things have been destroyed. The years of polishing have almost lost their original appearance. Even the creations of the empire, which can theoretically last forever, have been constantly damaged in the years after the war, and Glick's father who likes "whimsical" is confused in these messes. The truth of the world is deduced from the records of the world, and the astonishing fact that this world has been destroyed once, and everything now will eventually dry up.
If even a plumber can discover the truth, what are the people in the world who are more qualified to find out about it
Sandora and I thought of this at the same time.
A child is a child after all. Although he stayed up late due to the excitement of the day, Glick was unable to resist the lack of physical strength in the end. He rubbed his eyes and said good night to us, and went back to his hut. This kid wants to arrange accommodation for the guests, but he also knows that his small tin house is not a good place to entertain guests. He knows that we have our own space equipment, so naturally we have a way to solve ourselves accommodation problem, so go back to bed first.
Originally, everyone could teleport back to the Admiral of the Empire and spend the night in the comfortable royal rest area, but it seems to be a novel experience to spend a bleak night in such a post-apocalyptic world, so Qianqian (presumably many people guessed It’s here, Qianqian’s suggestion must be the first one to pop up at this time) enthusiastically pulled us to make a floor outside the town...
Fortunately, Sandora set up space shielding and triggering devices around to prevent possible nocturnal patients from finding a row of corpses lying on the road outside the town and causing panic. Lying in the warm sleeping bag, my mood was one after another. I thought of the classic joke of two people sleeping in the wild and found that the tent was stolen. I thought that if that buddy was called Bell, then that snake would have many hard experiences. More importantly, I thought that it is easy to go to rest in the warm, comfortable and fresh air spaceship habitat, but How stupid it is to lay a floor on this scrap metal planet with an air pollution index of six skulls...
"Experience life, experience life."
Her shallow and bright eyes flickered in the dim night light, and she was looking at this side with her big eyes flickering, because we spread a large piece of high-speed polymer gel on the ground, which is almost a sheet of land with an area of over 10000 square meters. The bed is more than ten square meters, so she simply rolled over wrapped in a sleeping bag, arching on me like a caterpillar, "I used to imagine when watching movies, if in such an apocalyptic world, wrapped in a A warm sleeping bag, watching the last night in the world fall asleep, how romantic it must be, now this dream has finally come true... "
I:"… "
Two meters away came Lin Xue's muttering voice: "Wu Mu, you should really take Qian Qian to see her mind when you have time. Do you think the logic of a few characters in her words just now is normal!"
Well, one more time, I: "…"
When she is with Qianqian, there will always be such things that make people speechless but end up being very happy. This may be one of this girl's wonderful innate skills, that is, centering on herself, making everyone around her feel happy. cheer up.
We are always pulled by her to do this and that, and she makes everyone jump with a whim, such as forming her own supernatural organization with great interest, or pulling everyone together in the middle of the night As silly as it sounds to be laying a floor atop this metal ruin and discussing how romantic the end of the world is, it has to be admittedly a rare experience.
Later, I slowly concluded a reason, that is, the reason why you can be so happy with Qianqian is entirely because only when you are with her, can you find an excuse for your childish fun, and then have fun One - "Because I want to be with Qianqian, so I had to go crazy with her", but after all, when did I not enjoy it as much as her
We gradually grow up, become sophisticated, and mature. We wear away our sharpness, childishness and innocence. We wrap ourselves in a calm and capable shell, so many stupid things that we haven’t done enough can’t be done. Not to be thrown into the corner of memory, but for Qianqian, this process of wearing away her innocence seems to have never started, and her heart will always stay in the era when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and she can jump the wall and go out with her childhood sweethearts. , she is evasive, clever, self-willed, full of childishness, she doesn't have to worry about her identity and the eyes of others, she is immersed in whimsical happiness, and she also drives us crazy, making everyone have a throw away The excuse of the outer shell, to vent out the childishness that is usually suppressed and dare not release it - such as sleeping on the ruins.
This may be her strongest point, the side that makes me, Sandora, my elder sister, Lin Xue, and everyone else forever unmatched.
"Ajun," Qianqian said with only one head coming out of her sleeping bag. She had always dreamed of being able to hide in a sleeping bag in the wilderness until dawn like in the adventure novels she read when she was a child. Now her wish has finally come true. "It's like a big bed."
Me: "... oh."
"Ah Jun sleeps in a bed with many girls."
"puff!"
When this girl speaks, her mind is working in another dimension!
Lin Xue's puffing sound came from not far away, as if her laughter was about to hurt her internally, Sandora didn't make a sound, but she could tell from the moment her whole body was stiff, that the elder sister sighed faintly from the other side: "...Even I was counted in, Ah Jun, we really should check Qianqian's head when we have time."
The one who stays here with Qianqian is nervous and hits the floor with Yakumo Lan, but now the fox doesn't care about us, she is trying hard to stuff her nine tails into the sleeping bag, it's not easy, she is She tossed and tossed for half an hour, and now she has just stuffed the sixth one, and there is no room in the sleeping bag. In fact, I am very curious about one thing. As a general animal with nine tails, she really needs to be covered with a quilt. what
"Lan, can I help you?"
I turned my head and looked at the big fox that had already turned itself into a ball not far away. Zima asked me to take this guy out to see the world, and said that she could be our assistant, but now it seems that this fox has nothing but It is a bit useful when it is used as a bed for a mercury lamp or a small bubble, but it is simply a cute launcher at other times.
"No, I can fix it myself—sleeping bags are weird stuff, why wasn't it designed with room for a tail?"
I rolled my eyes speechlessly: "Because we don't grow tails. You toss it slowly. Note that the hair on the tail has just grown out. Don't cry when you lose it yourself."
Lan may have vaguely agreed, but now my eyelids are heavy, and I haven't heard anything clearly. I adjusted the pillow under my head that didn't match the sleeping bag but was forced by Bingtis to use. After finishing, I simply and neatly fell into dreamland.
The dream only lasted for a short time. It may be that this environment is really not suitable for people to rest. In a daze, I was shocked by a sudden cold air, and then woke up.
The surrounding area is dim. In this world of ruins, artificial lighting is very precious due to the need for extra energy. No one will set up street lights in the wilderness, even if this "wilderness" is only one kilometer away from the nearest settlement, Only a dim red circle can be seen high in the sky, which is the outer space fusion reactor at the lowest power providing the world with minimum night lighting and temperature maintenance.
The nighttime temperature in this place is really low. It seems that the artificial atmosphere on this ruined planet is not very strong, and the temperature preservation efficiency is not enough. The surrounding temperature is only about ten degrees. The class has long been out of consideration.
Qianqian was sleeping peacefully beside her, with her body facing her, curled up slightly like a baby, it’s rare to see her sleep look a little better, I think the semi-closed structure of the sleeping bag played a vital role in maintaining her sleeping position role.
There is no sun, moon and stars in the sky, so I can't tell what time it is. I can only read it from the information link, and find that I have only slept for less than 30 minutes.
It may be due to the unexpected insomnia in a strange environment. I don’t feel sleepy at all. After lying down for a few minutes, I got out of my sleeping bag and planned to walk around. Maybe moderate exercise can help Will fall asleep, of course I am a little curious about the scenery of this world in the middle of the night.
The post-apocalyptic world is silent at night. It seems that some philosopher has said that there are only two periods of time when the earth has the quietest and purest night. The first period is before the birth of human civilization, and the second period is from the end of the world. It started on the second night, and now it has been confirmed: when human civilization loses its motivation to clamor, the world really can be so quiet.
Unknowingly, I have left the place where everyone is camping hundreds of meters away. After turning around a hill formed by a turret armor plate inserted obliquely on the ground, there is an endless land of scrap metal in front of me. Sharp and twisted steel stands on the ground. In the deep night, there are countless skinny and dry arms that are grasped from hell to the sky. The strengthened eyesight allows me to see these weird alloy bones in such a dim light, but I can't dispel these alloy bones. eerie atmosphere.
It's like walking on a rotting giant corpse. Everything on this ruined planet is exuding the stench of death at this moment. Those giant starship wreckages that looked somewhat magnificent in the daytime have now turned into darkness. The monotonous silhouette, under the simplest light and dark effect, only leaves the sadness of the end of the world, without any sense of beauty.
The path under my feet is the frame beam of some spaceship. After walking along it for a long time, I found myself at the end of the path, standing on a flying cliff.
This flying cliff may be the junction of the battleship. The special interface cabin makes it a precipitous spectacle protruding tens of meters from the cliff below. I feel that I may have come to the other end of this metal station, and there is a strange place in front of me. The small basin, the "condenser" town should be on the opposite side of this small basin—right in the direction behind him.
The surrounding temperature seems to be a little lower, as if the fusion reactors in outer space have stopped even the last heat radiation, the world is immersed in an unprecedented silence, and I stood in this strange silent environment for a while, until suddenly I felt a deep humming coming from under my feet.
Depressed, low, and slowly spreading, it seems that an unimaginably huge beast is slowly waking up from the depths of the earth, and some kind of low-frequency sound waves that can hardly be distinguished by human ears are being transmitted from the tens of thousands of kilometers thick metal earth below. , forming a dizzy and nauseating resonance in the air, many disorganized pictures seemed to flash across my mind, and vaguely, I saw the whole picture of this ruined planet.
In the deep darkness, it shivered, and then its body was quickly covered with dark red cracks.
The illusion in my mind and the scene in front of me suddenly merged together, and there was a sudden and ear-piercing long scream, and then, the earth began to split apart in front of my eyes.
A fissure suddenly opened in the small basin in front of him, and bright energy sparks spewed out from the fissure. The fissure was only tens of meters long at first, but in just a few seconds, it extended explosively to as far as the eye could see. Beyond the horizon, more and wider cracks spread from there, forming a chaotic network of energy sparks that covered the entire land. The blue-white psionic sparks jumped between the metal fragments, rapidly heating These wreckages, until their edges turned fiery red like in that illusion, I watched the great changes in front of me in a dazed state, thinking that the people in the town might not know about this huge disaster, but they did not know why it happened No interest in taking action.
I seem to be a bystander, watching the earth disintegrate before my eyes like watching a documentary scene that has already happened. The ruined planet that has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years is stretching my body, shaking off the accumulated dust on the surface of the body , so everything is subverted in an instant.
The crack extending from the basin suddenly changed direction and extended to the feet in an instant, and then, the suddenly expanding crack swallowed him without any suspense, and the sound of the wind caused by the high-speed fall of the body came from beside his ears...
All the weirdness came to an abrupt end here. When I opened my eyes suddenly, there was still a quiet night in front of my eyes. The dim fusion reactors hung in the space three thousand kilometers away, evenly arranged in the sky, like voltages one by one. Insufficient tungsten lamps, only a dark red halo exuding a feeble gleam.
The disintegrating earth and the sound of the reactor starting from the depths of the earth disappeared. After a few seconds of being stunned, I realized that I had just had an absurd dream.
Rubbing my eyes, I woke up a little bit, I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my chest, I looked down, and what I saw was a silly face that was sleepy, it was Qianqian, this girl was stacked on top of each other in an almost completely overlapping manner. On my body, the posture is like a white crane spreading its wings, and the sleeping bag has disappeared...
It seems that the scene in the previous dream is really absurd. Even a sleeping bag can’t stop Qianqian’s superb sleeping appearance. I think that apart from Tavel’s coffin cabin, there is nothing in this world that can stop Qianqian from sleeping. It's time to act cute.
Gently put Qianqian aside, I got up and walked to the edge of the campsite, and I had to carefully step over Yakumolan who rolled to my feet at some point, this big fox seemed to have finally won last night. Victory, stuffed her nine tails into the sleeping bag, the only regret is that she forgot herself outside...
That's right, just as you imagined, this nine-tailed girl who doesn't know what to think puts her tail under the bed, but she sleeps naked outside. She really likes to fuck.
As soon as I glanced at the fox, a sinister voice came from behind: "Mu Mu, do you want to take another look, believe it or not, Miss Ben to wake up both Sandora and Qianqian?"
My whole body was trembling, and I quickly looked at my nose, nose, mouth, mouth and mouth, and my heart sank. I threw aside a beautiful fox who likes to dangle naked in front of my eyes, and turned my head to show Lin Xue a silly smile: "Good morning, girl!" .”
"Early? It's getting late."
Lin Xue had been fully dressed for a long time, and even saw that her wet hair looked like she had just washed and washed. She raised her head to look at the still dark night, and said softly along the night wind, "It's already morning, but those The fusion pile didn't light up."
