How to Feed an Abyss!

They stayed on the top of the mountain for a long time.

When night fell and the mountains gradually dimmed, Lu Tinghan whispered, "Go back?"

"Okay." Shi Yuan agreed.

The white snake was waiting in the valley where it came.

The two went down the mountain, and the downhill road was much easier to walk, and soon they reached the bottom of the mountain. His monster friends didn't want to leave, so they stopped here. Shi Yuan turned back to them at the foot of the mountain and said, "Goodbye!"

The fox and the wolf were hidden by the rocks, and the birds returned to the forest. The stag was the last to leave. It walked lightly, its antlers were covered with moss, and it carried a small bird and disappeared into the thick fallen leaves.

The sea of ​​flowers in the valley is still there, swaying under the brilliant sunset, bursting with light fragrance.

Shi Yuan walked a few steps faster, and the wind brought up the petals, flying around him. He seemed to have discovered something new, running around with his tail up, calling Lu Tinghan: "Look!"

Lu Tinghan walked slowly, and saw Shi Yuan running wildly beside him, running around, and a large swath of flower petals fluttered wherever he passed.

"Look at me!" Shi Yuan shouted again, and a few flowers fell on the tip of his hair.

"I'm watching." Lu Tinghan said with a smile, "I've been watching."

The abyss once again has the human gaze, contented. Near the end of the valley, Shi Yuan ran towards him, Lu Tinghan opened his arms and hugged him.

Shi Yuan: "Wow!"

He was steaming all over, his fair cheeks were slightly red, he looked up at Lu Tinghan and smiled.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh-"

The giant snake cruised in front of them, looking at the two with vertical pupils.

"Xiaobai! Thank you!" Shi Yuan said, "I like this place!"

The giant snake spat out the letter: "Hiss—"

The two returned to the snake, grasped its scales, and the giant snake went the way it had come.

Back to the original mountains, back to the aircraft, they said goodbye to the giant snake and returned to the city.

At home, Shi Yuan's excitement was still there, and he chirped with Lu Tinghan to speak. He said that the sea of ​​flowers today is so beautiful, and the top of the mountain is also beautiful, and he once again saw the scenery that he had never seen before; he said that he was very happy to have made so many friends again, and they all had unique personalities and could make different and interesting sounds; It's a pity that he still has many monster friends that he didn't meet today, and he wanted Lu Tinghan to meet him...

Lu Tinghan laughed and listened to Shi Yuan's story, and shoved him into the bathroom, saying that the clothes were covered with grass foam and dew, and the wind was blowing when he came back, so hurry up and wash it, don't catch a cold.

When Shi Yuan came out, he continued to chat with Lu Tinghan, the tip of his tail waving happily.

Lu Tinghan embraced him on the sofa, seeing that his cheeks and ears were reddish, he didn't know whether it was the heat from running, or the residual temperature of the water vapor, which was rosy and warm. His eyes were also very bright, and the black pupils that were as dark as an abyss fell into light, nestled in his arms, the collarbone was exposed in the loose pajamas, and a drop of wet water slipped quietly across the line of the jaw, precariously precarious.

Lu Tinghan couldn't hold back, and kissed her.

When kissing, Yuan was pressed on the sofa, he hugged Lu Tinghan's neck and continued to laugh, kissing back.

The two of them returned to the soft bed sticky, their eyes were warm, their ears rubbing against their temples, a night of spring breeze.

They have had skin-to-skin kisses in countless nights, but nothing is like today.

Perhaps the separation is imminent, and they are lingering to death.

At last Shi Yuan fell asleep, Lu Tinghan covered him with the quilt, and kissed his forehead lightly.

Shi Yuan said something vaguely in his dream, but halfway through the speech, there was no sound, only the sound of quiet breathing remained.

Lu Tinghan looked at him silently for a long time.

He seemed to have made up his mind.

The two tossed until it was too late, and it was rare for Lu Tinghan to go out until noon the next day.

Shi Yuan asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the military headquarters." Lu Tinghan said, "There are some things to deal with."

"Are you coming back for dinner?"

"Yes." Lu Tinghan agreed.

Lu Tinghan arrived at the military headquarters by car.

The conference room is almost full. He stood still at the door for a few seconds.

In the past few seconds, thousands of thoughts rushed through my mind. He thought of many things, such as the many obstacles of "deep diving", such as the dedication and expectation of countless people, who regard it as the hope of saving the world, and the restrictions of frigates, as he said at the same time, if Shi Yuan thought Go to the bottom of the abyss, or someone will have to be replaced, or the frigate will risk overloading...

All the way to today, from the alliance to the distant capital of the empire, this plan has carried everything, and there is no room for surprises.

but-

From the beginning to the end, everyone understood that Abyss No. 0 was special. It had the most terrifying infection value, but it stayed quietly in the wasteland. Yu Qingmei also said that the reason why she set up a project to study Abyss No. 0 was because she felt that she could find light in it. Later, Abyss No. 0 disappeared out of thin air, and the creatures infected by him had endless time, which made him even more mysterious.

If Lu Tinghan was standing here 10 years ago, he is also a theoretical school, analyzing the No. 0 abyss from the data and observation results, rigorous and meticulous, and logical.

But many years later, at this moment, Lu Tinghan didn't think of these things.

All he thought of was Shi Yuan and the monsters.

From the coast to the forest, from the wilderness to the sea of ​​flowers, the teenager is surrounded by monsters, and anyone who sees that scene will be moved. All kinds of the past flashed before his eyes, the happy time, the angry time, the excited time, the sad time, the tangled time...they have experienced too much together, Lu Tinghan and Shi Yuan witnessed the joy and anger of human Sorrow and joy, and Shi Yuan also let him see another side of the monster.

Shi Yuan has been dreaming of being on stage for a long time, monsters are watching him, looking forward to him, their blood is mingled. Shi Yuan has done a lot for humans, this is the first time he said that he wants to do something for monsters.

He wants to find his own answer.

Lu Tinghan wanted to believe him.

Lu Tinghan was willing to believe that he was that miracle.

Maybe this is the only chance humans can do something for this little monster. Lu Tinghan thought, this might be the most emotional and impulsive decision he has ever made in his life.

Lu Tinghan pushed open the door of the conference room, Chairman Chai Yongning, various professors, and several military officers were waiting for him.

Under their eyes, he walked to the main seat of the long table, and everyone waited for him to speak, and they were silent.

Lu Tinghan looked around, seeing familiar faces.

The light flooded him like a flood.

And with his back straight, he said, "I want to change the participants of 'Deep Dive'."

…

Lu Tinghan's proposal caused an uproar.

Everyone was in a mess, the fierce talker, the staunch opponent, and his supporters were all arguing. At this time, Shi Yuan's identity is no longer a secret among high-level officials. Some people think that Lu Shang is going crazy, some think that this matter is ill-considered, and some people believe in Lu Tinghan's decision, just like Lu Tinghan has done in the past ten years. Always right, defending the city again and again.

Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan were pushed to the forefront.

But Shi Yuan didn't know about this.

The people in the city don't know either. The high-level leaders of the alliance quarreled fiercely, but they tacitly kept silent to the outside world. In this regard, they are still united as one.

Shi Yuan continued to fold flowers in the handicraft factory, and went to the wasteland to find monsters to play with.

Lu Tinghan accompanied him to eat, took time to watch movies, play cards and read books, or gaze at the starry sky on a clear night.

"I haven't seen the meteor shower yet." Shi Yuan tried his best to look through the stargazing telescope, "What will it be like? Why hasn't it come?"

Lu Tinghan told him: "This is rare in the first place, and it's hard to come by."

"Okay. The starry sky is also very beautiful now."

"Yes." Lu Tinghan said, "It's really pretty."

The stars were shining, Shi Yuan still didn't wait for his meteor shower, but got Lu Tinghan's kiss, and immediately smiled.

Su Enqi and Lu Tinghan talked once.

Not an official meeting, but a meeting of old friends, at Suenzi's home.

Su Enqi resolutely opposed Shi Yuan's going to the bottom of the abyss for no other reason than that he felt that this was an impractical and meaningless gamble that they couldn't afford.

The house was empty, Su Enqi lived alone after Su Liang and Jiang Fangzhou were gone.

Su Enqi leaned back on the seat, took off his reading glasses, and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect you to make such a decision. Shi Yuan... Shi Yuan didn't even know what he was looking for, did he?"

Lu Tinghan said, "Yes."

The water in the kettle boiled, Lu Tinghan got up and poured the boiling water into the teacup.

The white air curled up with the fragrance of tea, refreshing the mind, Su Enqi's iron tea pot had bottomed out, and these might be the last two cups of good tea in the city.

Su Enqi took a cup of tea from him, took a sip, and said slowly: "I am also willing to believe Shi Yuan's original intention. But have you ever thought that he has always been on the side of the monster, whether it is his Identity, or his ability. What if the 'answer' he finds destroys mankind instead?"

"I've thought about this possibility." Lu Tinghan replied calmly, "I've thought about it many times, but I still believe him."

Su Enqi was silent.

He drank the tea in one gulp, and said, "Before, I always wanted you to find a girlfriend. Later, when I met Shi Yuan, I thought it didn't matter if you were a man or a woman, as long as you were a living person. In the end, even people Not anymore."

Lu Tinghan smiled.

Su Enqi suddenly realized something: "Is there life and death in the abyss?" Confusion appeared on his old face, "He, uh, is he alive?"

"Forget it, forget it." Lu Tinghan replied, "Of course it does, stay at home properly."

Shi Yuan also made tomato scrambled eggs, waiting for him to eat at night.

Su Enqi took a long breath: "That's good, at least alive, it's okay, it's okay."

Lu Tinghan: "..."

He felt that his image in Su Enqi's eyes was irreparable.

Su Enqi went on to say: "You can hide it quite well. We only know Shi Yuan's identity until now. It's really well hidden." He rubbed his browbones, "I've been thinking about 'deep diving' for the past few days. , I thought a lot, and to be honest, I still oppose your proposal to this day. 'Deep diving' itself has huge risks, and you are simply adding fuel to the fire. No one knows if this will be the last straw. ..."

Lu Tinghan listened quietly.

Su Enqi was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh: "But, how can I refuse you? We have known each other for more than 20 years, fought side by side so many times, and had conflicts and differences. I don't know how long it has been, What am I like in your heart, but every time I see you, I still think of you following me when I was a child, and your eyes were so bright when you were studying military, as if there was a fire."

The empty teacup twirled in his hand and landed on the table. He said, "The teacher always protects the students, right. In this final trial, I want to be on the same side as you."

Lu Tinghan: "You mean..."

"Let Shi Yuan go." Su Enqi said, "Go with you to the bottom of the abyss."

Lu Tinghan wanted to speak, but Su Enqi interrupted him: "No thanks, no need to say anything, I won't regret this decision."

When Lu Tinghan said goodbye to Su Enqi, Su Enqi sent him to the door.

Su Enqi's white hair fluttered, and he said: "I don't think that Shi Yuan will go with you, and you can live without infection. It is impossible for you to return. Today, the white-haired people give away the black-haired people. First, Su Liang and Jiang Fangzhou, and now you. Old people like us should sacrifice, and young people should see tomorrow. Especially you, you are better than anyone are more entitled to live."

Lu Tinghan told him: "When I was young, I liked to stand on the energy tower of Fengyang City and look at the scenery, where I could see the city and the wasteland at the same time. At that time, I made up my mind to defend the city. Someone must take this responsibility , someone has to die before dawn, I'm not the first, and I won't be the last."

Su Enqi nodded: "...you have never changed."

When Lu Tinghan turned to leave, he suddenly said, "However, you are not the only one who can hide secrets."

Lu Tinghan turned his head.

Su Enqi smiled: "It's just a trivial secret today, I won't tell you, but I hope you will know one day."

He patted Lu Tinghan's shoulder.

After that day, Su Enqi changed his attitude and supported Lu Tinghan's proposal together with Professor Guan.

Starting from his transformation, more and more opponents changed their views. Some were persuaded, some were influenced by the people around them, and after calming down, some chose to believe in Lu Tinghan, and believed in that strange animal that had been helping him all the time. the abyss of humanity.

There were also people who firmly opposed it and never let go, but they eventually became a very small minority.

On October 20, 245 of the Alliance, a week before the "Deep Dive" plan, the Alliance officially approved Shi Yuan to board the frigate and go to the bottom of the abyss together.

The original executors did not reduce their staff. Professor Guan and other researchers made an urgent study and decided to remove a large infection detector to make room for Shi Yuan.

That's it.

This day when Lu Tinghan came home, Shi Yuan threw himself into his arms: "I want to touch my head!"

Lu Tinghan rubbed his head, and Shi Yuan purred happily.

Then, he whispered in his ear: "Shi Yuan, let's go together."

"Where are you going?" Shi Yuan asked, "Hululu?"

Lu Tinghan said: "Let's go to the bottom of the abyss together."

The turbulence in the black mist is dangerous, and the bottom of the abyss is also full of infections. There is no way back on this trip, and no one knows how long the executors can live and whether the "deep dive" will be successful.

Lu Tinghan told Shi Yuan a long time ago that everyone has a unique story. After many years, through ups and downs, they saw the foreign country and the homeland, saw the true love and the magnificent scenery, and finally they were able to see the ending of this story together.
