How to Feed an Abyss!

Shi Yuan ran between the food distribution office and the research center.

The work is not difficult, and it is even easier in the research center. He saved a sum of money and wanted to buy flowers for Lu Tinghan, but after asking around, no one knew where to find flowers.

Guo Yao said: "Two or three months ago, I saw a woman on the street with a bunch of flowers, a bunch of blue flowers, but I didn't ask her where she bought it."

"Okay." Shi Yuan said, "As long as there are still in the city, I will always find them."

Shi Yuan also met acquaintances.

One day, he was busy with cooking and serving the radish soup to the guests, when a surprised voice came from his ear: "Shiyuan?!"

Shi Yuan looked up and saw Lu Bafang.

Long time no see, Lu Bafang has become darker and stronger, with a scar on his right cheek, and he still wears the white armband of a field doctor.

Lu Bafang was very pleasantly surprised: "I really didn't expect to meet here! What a coincidence, do you work in the distribution office?"

"Yes." Shi Yuan was also very happy to see him.

"Very good, very good." Lu Bafang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, "Here, I've been helping in the hospital behind you recently, and I probably come here often to eat."

Shi Yuan made him a bowl full of rice, plus a big bowl of carrot soup.

Sure enough, after that, Lu Bafang came to the distribution office every day.

When Shi Yuan was around, he would always give him more food, and listen to Lu Bafang's stories when he was free.

Lu Bafang was as talkative as ever, telling stories about the army and the hospital vividly.

He said: "You know, I helped a little boy get an injection yesterday, wow, that kid cried and howled when he saw the needle, and his parents almost couldn't hold him down, which caused my first needle to stick crookedly. Why do you bother, it was solved with one injection, but he finally received three injections abruptly."

He said: "Oh, oh, I was on the front line of the main city before, and an old man broke a finger, and I dealt with it for him. He said that fortunately it wasn't the ring finger, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear his pure gold wedding ring .I took a look, good guy, how can there be a pure gold ring that can float in the water? I told him it must be a fake, but he still didn’t believe it! I’m so **** off!”

He said: "Wang Yu went to Fengyang City, and you also saw her at the Mutant Welfare Center. She withdrew to the main city a month ago, met me once, and ran to the front line again. She is a person Even if she can't stay idle, she is really courageous, I heard that she used to pick up corpses when she was in elementary school."

Shi Yuan listened to him telling stories one by one.

He asked Lu Bafang: "Recently, the power is always cut off. Is the hospital okay?"

Lu Bafang replied: "There is a backup power supply, and the ICU and the like are fine for the time being. Thanks to the general on the ground who directed the evacuation and brought most of the energy cores to the main city, otherwise the hospital and the military area would be finished."

"That's good." Shi Yuan took a sip of the vegetable soup.

The soup is a bit bland, but the taste of the vegetables is very fragrant.

When this topic was brought up, Lu Bafang suddenly came to his senses: "By the way, are you still with... General Lu?"

Shi Yuan nodded.

When Lu Bafang thought of something, his chopsticks stopped moving. He showed a strange expression, hesitated for a long time and said, "You guys are very fond of each other. Shi Yuan, there is something I haven't told you. I wanted to explain, but I couldn't find a chance, so I just let it go." for so long."

"What?" Shi Yuan's tail bent into a question mark.

"That's right, uh, that's right, well, didn't I tell you before that '1' means a strong and powerful person..."

Shi Yuan: "Ah, yes."

"This is actually wrong." Lu Bafang said with difficulty, "That's right, it doesn't mean that." He looked at Shi Yuan's puzzled eyes, "You know that when two boys or two girls are together, there will be a little bit of aggression on the bed. different..."

Lu Bafang tried his best to be euphemistic and explained a lot—he still didn't realize that Shi Yuan was not suitable for euphemism at all.

Fortunately, after more than a year of the land general's personal actions and demonstrations, coupled with the influence of Alice's friendship, Shi Yuan learned a lot.

He miraculously understood what Lu Bafang meant.

Shi Yuan's eyes widened: "Oh! So that's what the word means!"

"Yes, yes." Seeing that he understood, Lu Bafang breathed a sigh of relief, "I was just afraid that you might misunderstand and talk nonsense. Fortunately, you have understood."

Shi Yuan: "..."

Lu Bafang: "...No way, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Shi Yuan nodded.

"...how much did you say?"

"Everywhere is talking."

"Where did you say that?"

"Many places."

"How many people have you talked to?"

"It's lost count."

Lu Bafang and Shi Yuan fell silent together.

Lu Bafang scratched the ground with his toes, but Shi Yuan thought about it after two seconds and said, "Forget it, I don't care about that either!"

Shi Yuan continued to eat happily.

Lu Bafang was still scratching the ground with his toes, and finally realized that he had led the children badly, and had caused very irreversible consequences, turning a social terrorist into a social terrorist.

After dinner, Lu Bafang said again: "Although the situation is not very good recently... But Shiyuan, we are still very hopeful. I heard that they plan to let the abyss watchers return to their posts. The assessment requirements are very high, and they will not be allowed to go to the front line, but it can reduce the pressure on employment. As for the hospital, we make do with it, and the production line of inhibitors can withstand it. The patients are very cooperative and nothing will happen. of."

He patted Shi Yuan on the shoulder: "Okay, I'm going back to the hospital, there are two patients still waiting for me. I admire the general Lu, he will always find a way. I shouldn't say that Tell me, but you two have a good time."

"We're fine." Shi Yuan answered him, with the tip of his tail swaying happily, "He always helps me untie my tail, and even took me to see the meteor shower."

"That's good." Lu Bafang smiled, "I also saw that meteor shower. I was on the top floor of the hospital. Many people saw it. At that time, they watched the night sky with you."

Lu Bafang went back to the hospital, and Shi Yuan continued to work.

Lu Bafang's appearance reminded him that he still has several friends in the main city, so he can go and see. So he first contacted Qin Luoluo and Cheng Youwen.

Still unable to make a private call, Shi Yuan dialed the transfer center and waited in line for a long time before getting through to those two people.

Qin Luoluo told him that she was still working in the affiliated hospital in the North District, and she was very busy these days, so she didn't have time to meet. And Cheng Youwen said that he went to the broadcast center to help write the broadcast script.

On the phone, Cheng Youwen said: "Shi Yuan, you must have heard the manuscript I wrote." His tone was proud, but he was as narcissistic as before, "Hmph, with my literary talent, going to that kind of place is not a blow to reduce dimensionality, I became the team leader in no time, and the old employees had to listen to me."

"You are so good at writing everything." Shi Yuan said, "Then Mr. Cheng, when will we have time to meet?"

"Let me see—well, are you free the day after tomorrow?"

They made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, in the square downstairs from the Broadcasting Center.

Shi Yuan went as promised. When he arrived, the broadcasting center had just finished get off work, and a wave of people came out. The square was crowded with people, and everyone wanted to catch the first round of buses. The pale man limped from the crowd with a cane and waved at him.

Cheng Youwen walked too hastily, in front of Shi Yuan, he couldn't help turning his head and coughing for a long time.

Shi Yuan patted him on the back, comforting him.

After a long time, Cheng Youwen got better and straightened his back. He looked at Shi Yuan and said with a smile: "I'll go, you really haven't changed at all!"

Shi Yuan said, "You too!"

They found a bench in the corner of the square. Cheng Youwen took out two sandwiches from his messenger bag and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The sandwich is a thick piece, sandwiched with lettuce, ham, eggs and cheese, which is now a real luxury.

Shi Yuan asked, "Where did you get it?"

"It's the first time I've encountered the benefits of the Broadcasting Center in almost two years. You just happened to meet me." Cheng Youwen said, "You are so lucky to have a friend like me."

Each of them took a thick sandwich and ate it. The cheese was shredded, and their lips and teeth were fragrant.

While eating, Shi Yuan told Cheng Youwen his story in Fengyang City.

After hearing this, Cheng Youwen was amazed: "I like your No. 4 tower. If there is a chance, I will definitely write it into the script."

Shi Yuan asked, "Are you still writing the script?"

"Never stopped." Cheng Youwen replied, "Of course I wrote it secretly. I wrote and revised a few pages when I was free after get off work, and I didn't show it to others. Those people don't know how to appreciate my art. Of course Lah, Shi Yuan, if you ask me sincerely, I will still show it to you, after all you are the 'star of tomorrow' in the theater."

"Yeah, I'd love to see it! I also like Waiting for Godot you gave me."

"Yes, I like it very much." Cheng Youwen hesitated for two seconds, "You went to find Ms. Isabella, didn't you?"

"Well, her home became a children's welfare home, and I donated the money you gave me to the welfare home."

"That's good, she likes children the most."

Cheng Youwen also said that Xia Fang also came to him to apologize, but he ignored him. Later, Xia Fang went to find Qin Luoluo, but Qin Luoluo held up her high-heeled shoes and beat her out.

Xia Fang still wanted to find Wolfgang, but unfortunately, Wolfgang was always on the front line, and Cheng Youwen had never met him a few times, and only contacted him through text messages and phone calls.

"But don't worry, Wolfgang is so strong, he can beat ten of me." Cheng Youwen said, "Two days ago he told me that the food in the army is good."

Shi Yuan relaxed: "That's good." He thought for a while, "However, how are you and Qin Luoluo doing?"

"That's it, I said she doesn't like me, at least not in love." Cheng Youwen wiped the cheese off his mouth with a tissue, "A well-bred gentleman won't force others, right? Although we are still in love Together."

Shi Yuan: "...Huh?"

He didn't understand the twist at all.

"When I first came to the main city, I accompanied her to treat her leg in the hospital. I went to several hospitals and finally cured it. It doesn't affect walking, but it hurts when it rains." Cheng Youwen held the tissue in his hand, wrinkled, "Then I confessed to her again. She thought for a few minutes and asked me, do I really want to be with her?"

It was a moonlit night, and Qin Luoluo was humming a song, walking with Cheng Youwen on the streets of the main city.

The tram passed them and the wind picked up and her skirt fluttered. It was a beautiful black dress, which she brought from Gleaner City to the main city, with a few broken diamonds, which especially flattered her figure. Her four-leaf clover earrings also shone in the night.

So Cheng Youwen spoke again, asking if he would like to be with him.

Qin Luoluo said: "I told you before, I like hunk men with **** and buttocks."

Cheng Youwen clenched his cane tightly and stopped talking.

Qin Luoluo turned her head quickly, glanced at him, and said, "But, do you really want to be with me?"

Cheng Youwen smiled bitterly: "What's the use of thinking?"

"If you really want to, I'll be with you."

Cheng Youwen was taken aback: "Are you joking?"

"Of course not," Qin Luoluo replied, "I was thinking, anyway, I don't like anyone, and I don't know if tomorrow will be dead or alive."

Cheng Youwen said stiffly: "What's the point of that. I'm not with someone who doesn't like me at all."

"Then you should think about it carefully." Qin Luoluo opened her hand and twirled it around, her skirt curled up beautifully, "We may not have tomorrow, even if it's an illusion, we won't die if we immerse ourselves in it by chance, right? ?”

She turned around, forgetting that her leg injury was just right, and staggered. Cheng Youwen put aside his crutches to pick her up, and they both fell to the ground.

But he caught Qin Luoluo after all.

Qin Luoluo's face was very close to him, she suddenly smiled, bent her fox-like eyes, leaned forward and kissed Cheng Youwen.

Then, they were together like this.

Now in the square, Cheng Youwen put away the packaging of the sandwiches, and told Shi Yuan: "Anyway, that's how we are, we can't go up or down, let's make ends meet, at least I will always have true feelings."

"Okay." Shi Yuan felt that their relationship was very subtle, but he couldn't express it, "It's just as long as you are all happy."

"It's not bad." Cheng Youwen smiled, "I'm with the person I like."

Another round of buses is coming.

Cheng Youwen got up and said: "I have to go back, there are still things to clean up at home, otherwise I will definitely be scolded by her tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm going back too."

"Remember to read my new script!"

"I will. Thanks for the sandwich, Mr. Cheng."

Shi Yuan returned home.

In the evening, Lu Tinghan went to bed after finishing his work in the study.

Shi Yuan was leaning on the bedside to read the script. Cheng Youwen's new script was called "Untouchable". It was about a pair of lovers during the war.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Tinghan asked him.

Shi Yuan told him.

Lu Tinghan came over, hugged him, and read the script with him. After reading seven or eight pages, Lu Tinghan commented: "It's well written. Not to mention anything else, the words are very precise and delicate."

"Mr. Cheng is very good." Shi Yuan said, "If he can perform, he will definitely win many awards."

"En." Lu Tinghan rubbed his head.

They got together and read the script slowly until late at night, ready to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Lu Tinghan said: "I will go to the research center with you tomorrow."

Shi Yuan: "Why?"

"Go and see the 'Deep Dive' project."

The next day, Shi Yuan took Lu Tinghan's car to the research center.

Lu Tinghan and Professor Guan met.

Shi Yuan was sitting in the office, listening to the conversation between the two while eating plum candy from Professor Guan, and what he said was things he didn't quite understand.

The only thing he understood was that the "deep dive" was not going well. One is that the abyss cannot be simulated, and the other is that it will take quite a long time to search for the underground buildings of the Empire—they have mastered the coordinates of two underground cities of the Empire. The Alliance Air Force has just confirmed that one of the cities has been destroyed and cannot be used as Alternative, and the situation in another city is not optimistic.

Professor Guan took off his glasses and sighed heavily.

Lu Tinghan was as calm as ever, took Shi Yuan out of the research center, and asked if he was free today, did you have anything to eat.

Shi Yuan thought for a long time and said, "How about eating beef noodles?"

This was the first meal that Lu Tinghan took him to eat, and he still can't forget it, it can be called Bai Yueguang.

Lu Tinghan also remembered, gave a low laugh, and gave orders to his subordinates. The black car went to the canteen of the military area.

After eating the fragrant beef noodles, the taste is still so fragrant, no different from what I remember.

They left the cafeteria, ready to walk home.

That is half an hour's journey, when it is a walk after dinner.

Shi Yuan walked with Lu Tinghan with his tail up, happily, but before he got home, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Lu Tinghan."

Lu Tinghan: "Huh?"

"Today you said 'deep dive'...Professor Guan also talked to me before, I am not that miracle." Shi Yuan said, "This is the second time I want to be the savior, but I still failed. It seems that I can only Realized in the script."

Lu Tinghan didn't speak.

When they arrived at the door, he said: "It's fine now, you are always a witness." He paused, "Humans still have to rely on their own strength, but it doesn't matter, we have always walked like this .”

Shi Yuan's tail was still a little limp.

They entered the house, turned on the light, and the warm yellow light flooded them like a flood.

Just as Shi Yuan wanted to go to the living room, he was hugged by Lu Tinghan.

Shi Yuan made a confused voice: "Huh?"

Lu Tinghan lowered his head slightly, looked at him and said in a low voice: "Besides, who said you were not? You came to my side, it is my miracle."

"…real?"

"Of course. You bear witness to the human story, and only I am your story."

Shi Yuan slightly opened his eyes.

As soon as his tail started to sway happily, Lu Tinghan kissed him in a daze.

On this night, they hugged each other and their body temperature blended.

At the same time, the main city communication center.

A huge signal transmitter is in operation, silently sending electromagnetic waves to the end of the world.

This is the core of the "echo" project. Even though the alliance never heard back, the machine was still running, broadcasting their existence to distant places like a day for more than ten months.

It's a pity that there is a shortage of energy, and in a few months or weeks, it will be completely shut down.

There is only one correspondent in the huge communication room.

He wore headphones, yawned, and listened to the eternally silent channel. Presumably, this was another silent night.

"Shushasha—Zizi—"

It's a tiny electrical sound.

The correspondent froze for a moment.

"Shushasha—Zizizizi—"

"Wow-"

A voice came from the earphone, and a strange feeling climbed into his heart. He jumped up almost subconsciously, stood in front of the screen, and called eagerly: "Is there anyone? Can anyone hear it?! Please answer if you receive it! Please answer if you receive it!"

"Swoosh sizzling—"

"Clatter—here—zizizizizizi—"

"Hiss, hiss—we—zizi—huh—5889—"

In just a few seconds, the correspondent was drenched in sweat. He called again: "Can you hear me? This is the alliance, please answer!"

"Zizi—588911, -1207..."

"...repeat: 588911, -1207298—"

"Shushasha..."

"Hisssssssssssss—this is the empire... sssss! Please answer! Please answer!"
