Chapter 105 Flowers Have Rebloom Days, People Have Reunion Times
"Understood." Luo Qingyun frowned, and took a deep breath.
This means that it won't be too long to come to Central City, and they have to hurry up and go to Base Zero.
Their flying team passed through the clouds and landed at the Gray Tower of Central City.
In the past, when they were trained in the Gray Tower and completed the final test of the inspector, they were carried out at the field base on the central level.At that time, he discussed with Li Zhefeng why the gray tower in the central city could not be seen from the field base.The gray towers in every city are the focus of the city's sight, the kind of existence that can be seen as soon as you look up.
Through the porthole, Tan Mo saw the whole picture of the gray tower in the central city for the first time.
It is different from the Gray Tower in Yinwan City and Beichen City. It is not a towering building, but more like a closed fortress in the center of the city.
When Tan Mo was training at the Gray Tower, he heard a legend that the Central City Gray Tower was actually a spaceship.
When the distorted Kepler ecology really takes over the earth, this spaceship will launch and fly around the earth, preserving the last fire of human beings.This is also the reason why the world's scientific and technological elites are doing research in this city. Once human beings give up the earth, there is no need to recruit, just take everyone in the gray tower of the central city away.
But Tan Mo is not in the mood to find out whether this is true or not. He needs to find a quiet and undisturbed place to empathize with Kepler.
One less deformed creature to become part of a chimera, one more chance of his mother surviving.
His heart was terribly heavy, and he still remembered the feeling of being swallowed by Tilian, the struggle, powerlessness, and fear of being swallowed.But Ling Yu persisted in this situation for more than 20 years.
His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles were white.
The central city is more prosperous than any other city, skyscrapers abound, overpasses and other infrastructure maintain the level before the earth was invaded by Kepler creatures, the sky is patrolled by aircraft, and drones are flying between urban buildings Walking through is conducting biological scans all the time.
It is the center of human civilization.
But in Tan Mo's eyes, it's just a pile of steel and concrete without emotion.
They landed on the landing pad of the gray tower in the central city. The landing pad is like an outstretched hand. It has a large area and is reinforced in a special way.
After the stop, a special shuttle bus came to the entrance of the aircraft.
A group of people walked out, and the person who came to pick them up was a fusion person. He was wearing special glasses, and his glasses were invisible. He had a work card around his neck, showing that he was a senior research director, and his name was Lu Yi.He nodded slightly in He Yingzhi's direction.
"The No. [-] meeting room in Central City is ready. The operation will start half an hour after the deployment meeting." Lu Yi looked at Tan Mo and said in a calm tone, "Tan deputy team, when you are more anxious Time is more error-prone. And the efficiency of Central City and the entire Gray Tower is much higher than you imagined. Don’t forget the content of your training in the Gray Tower, one of which is to always prepare for the arrival of the final battle.”
Tan Mo took a deep breath, the back of his hand was warm from the other hand, it was Luo Qingyun.
Luo Qingyun said softly: "It's true."
"What's real?" Tan Mo looked into Luo Qingyun's eyes.
If we talk about loneliness, betrayal, moments of life and death, and loss, Luo Qingyun has experienced much more than Tan Mo, but at this moment, these eyes are full of calmness and composure, calming down Tan Mo's impetuous and anxious heart.
"The Gray Tower of the central city is a spaceship, which can be ignited at any time and take the elite of mankind away from the earth." Luo Qingyun said.
"Oh... It seems that the secrecy work in the central city is not good. Almost every student of the Gray Tower has heard of this legend." Tan Mo smiled.
At this time, the shuttle bus has entered the interior of the gray tower in the central city.
There is no bustling scene here at all, only the powerful functionality displayed in the limited space, and even a feeling of being restrained.
Lu Yi sent them to the door of a meeting room and said, "The others have already arrived, including those from the Shenzhou Group."
After Tan Mo and the others came down, He Yingzhi had to go to his research room again. He had been away from Central City for too long, and many important research results could not be kept secret this time, and everyone involved in the battle had to be told.
Since all human beings advance and retreat together, there should be no more secrets.
He Long planned to accompany He Yingzhi, but He Yingzhi patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Your mission is no longer to protect me. Go to the deployment meeting."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I will send Professor He and Director Lu together."
The shuttle bus continued to drive at high speed in the passage, and soon disappeared at the end.
The door in front of him opened, and Tan Mo was shocked by the image in front of him.
This meeting room is circular, and in the center of the meeting room is a huge hologram, which can see the situation of Base Zero in 360 degrees.
Surrounding the holographic image are the fusion practitioners who have already sat down and looked stern. They are all elites drawn from various places.
These seats are like umbrellas. Once the meeting is over, all the seats will be retracted vertically, and the entire conference room will be compressed to the size of the elevator passage—this is the principle of maximum space utilization in the central city.
Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun walked in, walking sideways all the way to the center of the meeting room.Tan Mo felt gazes from all directions, some were curious, some were scrutinizing, some were excited and admired.
Tan Mo knew that most of them were already connected to the energy source, and they could empathize with each other.
This is a silent way of communication. After a moment of sympathy, all doubts disappear, and Tan Mo nods to them, and they give Tan Mo a smile or a look of approval.
Sitting not far from Tan Mo, Jiang Huaiyun nodded slightly.
A man in a suit who looked surprisingly similar to Geng Jinrou walked in front of them.
A standard three-piece suit, with a white shirt as the bottom layer, and the collar of the shirt is folded evenly. His sideburns are already white, and he looks close to 70 years old, but he is hale and hearty, with a calm and wise light in his eyes.
"Hi everyone, I'm Ling Hou, the new head of the Central City Gray Tower. I won't repeat and talk nonsense here. Please cheer up and don't miss a word."
The atmosphere at the scene became more tense.
Tan Mo was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "It seems to be different from what I imagined."
Because of what happened to Luo Qingyun's childhood, Tan Mo didn't have a good impression of the Gray Tower in the central city.In his opinion, the people in Central City are either full of bureaucracy, or they are cold machines to ensure that "human beings can survive".
But this Ling Hou in front of him has a familiar name and a straightforward style of acting.
Luo Qingyun frowned, and replied: "That's your grandfather."
At that moment, Tan Mo was shocked.
"What? He's my grandfather? I thought... I thought..."
Tan Mo was completely speechless for a moment.
And Ling Hou obviously saw Tan Mo's expression, he coughed slightly, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Well, in order for the core person of this operation..." Ling Hou raised his arm to indicate the direction of Tan Mo, "I can concentrate on listening to my task analysis, and I will introduce myself in 30 seconds. I am Ling Hou, I have lived under the reputation of my daughter Ling Yu for decades. As a scientific researcher, my research direction is aerospace technology. I have been opposing human beings’ desire for Kepler 30b since more than 22 years ago. However, it didn’t do any good. After that, my research direction was to design and build the Gray Tower of Central City. I’m sorry, I don’t have a history of being as outstanding as my daughter in the field of scientific research, and I’m also sorry that as an aerospace technician, I have a long period of secrecy For 30 years, I can't do anything for my daughter. I'm even more sorry, I just defeated all my competitors three months ago and became the head of the Gray Tower."
Every word of Ling Hou shocked Tan Mo.
three months ago?No wonder things have been different in Central City lately.
It is even impossible to cover everything in this temporarily organized operation. If the former central city did not discuss and prepare for three to five months, it would not have taken action at all, but now it actually does what it says!
It seems that this is the style of Linghou.
"Boys, I know you are worried that such a hasty action will not let you all die." Ling Hou spread his hands, "I don't know either. Anyway, if you fail, human beings will come to an end. So there is no need to have so much pressure, and I will not even live a few days longer than you."
Hearing this, Chen Jiu almost choked on his own saliva: "Fuck? So blunt?"
The corner of Tan Mo's mouth curled up, "But I just like this kind of straightforwardness."
Ling Hou met Tan Mo's eyes and smiled lightly.
"In my opinion, with the current level of human science and technology and the ability to mobilize materials, there is not much difference between what can be done within three hours and what can be done in three, five days or even three to five months. And three After five days or even three or five months, this big monster will be even more difficult to deal with than it is now. It should be said that there may be no need to deal with it, we can just lie flat." Ling Hou pointed to the hologram behind him.
Its degree of distortion is more serious than what Tan Mo and Ling Yu saw when they shared the same feeling.
The characteristics of deformed creatures are intertwined. Creatures such as devil vines, soaring snakes, and chisels are intertwined in the outer layer. Forbidden lakes grow out of the cracks. When they do not feel the attack, they are all tightly closed, but as long as there are enemies When you get close, it will suddenly bloom and spew out nectar.At the waist of the chimera, there are several scorpion heads, the compound eyes are turning, but the body is at the bottom of the chimera, it seems to be for reinforcement, there are countless nerve lines between the head and the body, and the nerve lines are messy other Kepler organisms.
"I'm going to spit out the food I ate three years ago," Chen Jiu said.
Ling Hou pulled out a scan of about one-third of the inside of the chimera. The distortion energy was denser than that of the hibiscus tree, and the biological form could no longer be seen.
"It is now a big cancer growing on our planet. It will take away the vitality of our entire planet. It must be cut off. If you use the knife now, if you cut it clean, it will hurt your Qi. If it is a few hours later, it will It will reach the point of dying." Zhou Xubai said.
Li Zhefeng said: "From the analysis of this holographic image, we can't find any incisions to attack and break in, and even if we get close, we will be torn apart by various aggressive creatures. Whether it is in the air or on the ground, it has a strong sense of autonomy. Where is Professor He? Why hasn't he come yet?"
He Yingzhi is a top expert in Kepler biology, and he should be the one to analyze the breakthrough.
At this time, Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun suddenly felt a strong uneasiness at the same time.
"Go—to Professor He's place! Something may have happened to him!" Tan Mo got up suddenly.
Luo Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up with a strong golden luster, and suddenly released Kepler's energy, which penetrated through the heavy metal walls of the central city, and started hunting.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Everyone fell into doubt, Ling Hou suddenly realized something, and immediately sounded the alarm.
"The people closest to Professor He Yingzhi rushed to the rescue!"
Li Zhefeng grabbed Zhou Xubai and said, "Professor He has an accident! Let's go!"
They rushed over as fast as they could.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Tan Mo's back, and his hairs stood on end.
At this time, in He Yingzhi's laboratory, red blood flowed everywhere like a blooming Klein bottle.
He Yingzhi gritted her teeth, while Lu Ying was leaning against the wall, her whole body was covered in blood holes, her breathing was failing, and a gun was still tightly clasped in her right hand.
He Yingzhi was completely panicked. He called out Lu Ying's name loudly, and frantically pressed her bleeding wound. He pressed one, and the other was still bleeding out.
Can't stop, can't stop at all.
"Lu Ying... I'm sorry! Just hold on! The medical team will come! I just gave you a hemostatic coagulant! You won't bleed soon!"
Not far away was a person falling down, it was Lu Yi.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at He Yingzhi's direction. Countless bone spurs appeared all over his body, but before these bone spurs were completely sharpened, his forehead was already hit by the medicine bullet.
Lu Ying looked at He Yingzhi with a smile on her face.She already knew exactly what was waiting for her.
"From now on... no one will cover you anymore...be more tactful..." Lu Ying wanted to raise her hand to touch He Yingzhi's face, but he didn't have the strength.
"I can't be tactful! That's my nature! As you said, I don't need to think about anything, just do my research! You can't die! If you die, what should I do in the future? I can only do research, no Will deal with people!"
He Yingzhi's face and chest were covered with blood.
At this time, the door of the research room opened, and Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun rushed in.
When Tan Mo saw the large bloodstain on the ground, Luo Qingyun steadied him.
"It's not Professor He."
He Yingzhi heard the voice and turned around with tears all over his face.
"Save her! Please save her! She did this to protect me... She shed a lot of blood... What to do! What to do!"
When Luo Qingyun walked to He Yingzhi's side and saw Lu Ying leaning against the wall, she was stunned.
"Lu...Aunt Lu..."
Lu Ying had already entered the state of being in a state of qi, and she smiled with great effort.
She originally thought that Luo Qingyun would not be surprised to see her like this. After all, he didn't have so many human emotions. Even when she became his guardian after Liang Youjie's death, she just signed for him every mission.
But his trembling eyes and stagnant breathing made Lu Ying feel that this life was finally worth it.
Because of Luo Qingyun's every mission, she was always afraid of him.She has never had a chance to have a child, but Luo Qingyun is her biggest concern.
At this time Zhou Xubai came, as a medical worker, he was calmer than others.
"Professor He, please get out of the way, I'll do it!" Zhou Xubai knelt beside Lu Ying, released a large number of nerve threads, entered Lu Ying's body, and began to repair her damaged blood vessels and internal organs at high speed.
Tan Mo helped He Yingzhi up, his shoulders trembled violently.
"What's going on here?" Tan Mo glanced at Lu Yi who was lying on the ground, "Did Lu Yi do this?"
He Yingzhi nodded vigorously, "I don't know what's going on...Lu Ying and I are sorting out research materials, and want to discuss with you how to eliminate this chimera at the meeting... Lu Yi suddenly approached us. Lu Ying... Lu Ying..."
Because of He Yingzhi's emotional agitation, his brain could not control him to speak completely. Now he has aphasia except trembling and tears.
"Aunt Lu pushed you away, and got stabbed by a bone spur on Lu Yi's body?" Tan Mo asked.
He Yingzhi nodded vigorously.
"Then when Luo Qingyun's Kepler energy captured Lu Yi, Aunt Lu took the opportunity to hit him?" Tan Mo asked again.
He Yingzhi continued to nod, and could only repeat a sentence with mouth shape: "Save her...save her..."
He Yingzhi experienced the sacrifices of many colleagues and companions when he narrowly escaped from base zero.
In the next 20 years, except He Long, Lu Ying took care of everything for him. Maybe He Yingzhi never expressed it to Lu Ying, but the friendship between them is very deep, and there is no word "thank you" at all. able to express.
That is sympathy, understanding, support, and trust.
Zhou Xubai's operation had been completed, he looked at Luo Qingyun, and shook his head slightly.
He could stop the bleeding for Lu Ying, but he couldn't stop the damage and failure of multiple organs caused by excessive blood loss. Although Lu Ying had already started to transfuse blood, she couldn't last long.
Luo Qingyun's throat moved, and he squatted in front of Lu Ying, holding her hand.
"Aunt Lu, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Lu Ying smiled lightly, but did not speak.
She had hoped that Luo Qingyun would bring Liang Youjie back, but starting from the complete deformity, this was impossible.
Tears slipped from the corners of Luo Qingyun's eyes, and fell into Lu Ying's pool of blood along her cheeks.
Lu Ying still looked at him, as if trying to remember his appearance clearly.
I have worried about you, I have waited for you, and I really hope that you can live an ordinary life like other children, with someone who loves you and things you like to do, and then slowly grow old in the sun, stable and happy live happily ever after.
But... you are destined to be extraordinary.
It's really a pity that there is no way to replace Liang Youjie to protect you, our child.
Youjie...I really want to see you again...
I really want to.
I'm so cold right now... miss your hugs so much...
"Luo Qingyun! What are you still doing in a daze! It's the bottle of Klein! Only in this way can Aunt Lu see Team Liang again!"
Tan Mo's reminder woke Luo Qingyun up instantly.
He stretched out his hand, something was growing rapidly in his palm, a golden bottle of Klein was formed, Kepler energy extended from the petals, and entered Lu Ying's body, followed by this Klein bottle Because of this, the bottle completely enveloped her in it.
The energy lines swam quickly in Lu Ying's body, and at the moment her heart stopped beating, another self seemed to appear in the depths of her mind.
Someone grabbed her wrist, she turned around and saw Tan Mo.
"Tan Mo, I... am I dead?"
"The matter is destroyed, but the spirit lasts forever. Isn't this the value of Kepler's existence?" Tan Mo looked at Lu Ying, "Luo Qingyun used Klein's bottle to assimilate you. But life and death cannot be reversed, but they can be reversed." Let you have Kepler's spiritual body. Your spiritual body is not complete, and you have no ability to create the world of self and me. So, this last journey, I will send you off." Tan Mo said.
"Send me? Where?" Lu Ying asked.
Tan Mo smiled, "Remember when we first met, I noticed the ring on your finger, what did we say?"
"Flowers have a re-blooming day... People have a reunion time."
At that moment, Lu Ying's anticipation, which had already cooled down, was heated up again at that moment.
All her youth, ignorant of expectations, come back as if time was reversed.
As if she was fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a schoolbag and walking home with Liang Youjie.She wants to eat ice cream, but her throat is always inflamed. The family is afraid that she will steal it outside, so they will not give her pocket money.At this time, Liang Youjie would buy a cone, put it in front of her, and let her eat the small sharp corner on the top.
"Aunt Lu, this is the edge of Luo Qingyun's Kepler world. Team Liang has been guarding here."
The desert in front of me is extremely hot, the arrogant sunlight shines on the earth, and the wind and sand are so strong that people can't open their eyes.
In the dust, a familiar figure was walking towards them step by step.
She was wearing a camouflage uniform with a straight back, even against the light, Lu Ying could recognize her.
"Aying, you are here."
At that moment, years of waiting finally had an answer.
Lu Ying finally returned to that person's arms.
