Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 169

The tsunami and the volcano are still fighting, and in the farther distance, where the eyes can't see, the plains have opened huge gaps, and some places have completely collapsed, forming sinkholes.The flat plateau composed of dark red sandstone is now illuminated red by the magma. The torrential rain washes over the endless grassland. The sea water overturns the hills and gentle slopes and rushes into the land. Inserted on the top of the mountain.

Shao Zhesheng didn't speak, neither did Ji Yao.But Shao Zhesheng was obviously more anxious than Ji Yao, he had bitten the skin of his finger, and wiped it carelessly on his hand, the spots were all bloodstained.He pointed at the screen, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to express it.

The magma has already entered along the crack channel, and the awl is generally drilled into the formation, and it is not harmful.Those glowing liquids were reflected in Ji Yao's eyes, his eyelashes were upturned, looking confident and wise.Just after the data next to the map fluctuated greatly, the largest crack rose sharply, and Shao Zhesheng cried desperately: "Chief... what should we do? Although I am only a geological researcher, But I understand we can't lose there..."

"Zhu Min." Ji Yao finally spoke in the eyes of everyone, his voice could bring hope, "Where is my necklace? I remember I have been wearing it all the time, where is it now?"

Zhu Min threw away the dirty white coat and stood up. Dawn picked it up for him when he saw it, shook it out, and folded it neatly even though it was a mess.Zhu Min took out a thin silver chain from his trousers pocket and hung the pendant down.

Ji Yao moved his Adam's apple, he took two quick breaths, felt a little out of breath, and made a sound from his throat: "Very good, big pig, I knew it. Take off the pendant and be careful. Assistant Shao , help me locate the center of the building complex and lock the target."

"The center is the black tower." Shao Zhesheng said. He turned the map in one direction. Inside the protective cover made of pure niobium metal, the black tower soared into the sky. "I put the positioning point on the top of the black tower."

"...Okay." Ji Yao felt his heart throbbing, and he knew that the time limit was up, "Pendant, lift it up, it will be suspended in the air. Xinghe, send a beam of photons to the anchor point."

A beam of light hit the distant buildings, entered the metal cover, and landed on the top of the black tower.Suddenly, the whole black tower seemed to be electrified, and the glowing current ran through the whole tower from top to bottom.Shao Zhesheng caught this fleeting change, but he heard Ji Yao coughing violently, Zhu Min was wiping his spit-up blood, and lifted the blanket to check the pacemaker. A living heart beating in its chest cavity.

He was stimulated by this horrible and bloody scene, causing his stomach to churn. He covered his mouth and hurried to the other side, leaning against the wall and retching desperately.Zhu Min raised his eyelids to look at him, then at the silent executives around him, lowered his eyes and continued with his work.

"Then what are we going to do? The ground has almost split open, volcanic ash has taken over the sky, and visibility is less than 10 meters. The storm has hit the coast, and our base is not safe."

Ji Yao turned his head sideways, his fingers tightly grasping the metal rod on the edge of the bed, and the bones and blood vessels were all clearly visible.Like a drowning man trying to rise to the surface for air, he opened his mouth and said, "Then...then put the whole complex into this pendant."

"Are you joking? Santu, now is not the time to be funny. I know you have a way, you can figure it out." Zhu Min pressed Ji Yao's shoulder, "Commander, tell us what to do."

Ji Yao didn't answer, the mechanical arm suddenly stretched out, and pressed a button on Xinghe's screen.After a very short silence, a bright white light suddenly burst out from the place where the photon landed, making a loud explosion of electric current, and then, above the niobium metal cover, a black vortex suddenly popped up, and all light, rain, and dust were all gone. There is no trace, even the air is sucked clean, it is a real, empty space.

"What it is?"

The second after this question was asked, the electric current roared again and scattered in all directions, but they were all sucked into the vortex and never escaped.Along with the white light being sucked into the vortex, there is also the entire building complex below, including the huge niobium metal cover.

There was an empty area on the map in an instant, and before the data was backed up, the surface cracked in an instant, and the underground thunder struck the ground with the gushing magma, and everything on the surface was wiped out in an instant.The sea level rises suddenly at this time, which indicates that another wave is coming.

The black hole disappeared, and the photon beam was also taken back by Xinghe. The pendant suspended in the air fell as if it lost its force, and hit the blanket on Ji Yao's chest.He squinted his eyes and saw a glowing piece on the map, hazy and floating like fog.

"Something is rising under the sea!" Ji Yao heard someone shouting, it was a voice from the observation platform, a little far away from him, "Xinghe, remote scanning and analysis! The weapon system is ready, and everyone is on the first-level alert state! "

"Seawall! It's a seawall! There's a dike on the bottom of the sea, as if to stop the tsunami! Who turned the switch on the dike? Where did it come from? Why the hell has it never been detected before? Intelligence! This is what happened?"

Ji Yao heard a chaotic sound, as if the calm lake water was blown away by the wind. He heard a heavy heartbeat, as if his throat was being choked, and his chest was so stuffy that it was about to explode.Hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes, who looked like something as insignificant as a galaxy.

He thought of the vastness of space, and the Milky Way in the painting, the big and dull moon fell on the plain, and the stars hung down on the wilderness.Fu Zhong watched space with him, it was when he was in the space station, it was quiet, grand, romantic and desolate.

"The reactor is running low on fuel, the stability of the joint base is declining, and the storm is not decreasing. We are in danger of being blown over. Alert again, the fuel is low, please replenish the fuel as soon as possible."

"Open... the transmission channel, and... input fuel from the coordinate instrument outside." Ji Yao continued to command in a dizzy state, and the pain of suffocation all over his body forced him to pull up his body, saying Eun injected medicine into his brain to block the pain nerve.

At the same time, the joint base vibrated, and several planes joined the base from below, and the aviation lights that lit up looked like the eyes of a leopard.The fuel gauge displayed on Xinghe suddenly rose rapidly, and another notification came in: "The fifth flight squadron is here to report."

Xiao Zhuoming and Yang Qihua ran down the gangway and directly entered the joint base. Yang Qihua was carrying a heavy metal box in his hand.Several other executives carried another white machine and followed behind Xiao Zhuoming. The machine looked like a square alloy prefabricated plate.

They came from the beach, had to take off after the volcanic eruption in order to avoid danger, walked through the storm, and finally arrived at the joint base.There were almost collisions and crashes on the way, Xiao Zhuoming was unfortunately on board these planes, the wound on his forehead was still bleeding.

"The drone sent back information that the injury monitor had been detached from the human body, and no human traces were found on the offshore continental shelf."

Ji Yao heard the sound of Xinghe coming into his ears, trickling like flowing water, between the bright moon and pines, on the clear spring stone.Xinghe is always so gurgling, with the most indifferent emphasis, speaking what should be said.Ji Yao suddenly realized that the world was moving away from him.

"Commander, the Beijing General Administration is connected, and the officer wants to talk to you..." Someone ran over to tell him the news.

Zhu Min was calling his name loudly, as if he wanted to call his soul back.The needle on the arm was pulled out and stuck in, and there were countless hands surrounding him, and finally faded into symbols, hanging above his head.Ji Yao opened her mouth, trying to think of someone's gentle words, but she couldn't.

He was lying down, but his body was moving rapidly, and the lights went out one by one.Then something cold was placed next to the ear, and a strange yet familiar call came from within, but Ji Yao's last bit of strength was spent in uttering the most gentle words.

"Follow the heart."

All he wanted to call from beginning to end was just this name.That's all.

"Where is Fu Zhong? Where is this person? Didn't you hear the commander calling his name?" Xiao Zhuoming ran beside the hospital bed, gesturing to the executive behind him, "Where is he? Tell him to come quickly!"

Zhu Min turned his head and replied, his shirt was loose and his tie was pulled aside by him: "He is missing! The locator can't track his location, we can't find him! Save your energy, Dr. Xiao, we understand that this person We understand how important the three soils are."

"Have you searched? Xinghe's powerful artificial intelligence and search and rescue system can't find a single person? Fuck you!"

"Go and see if there is any search on the main console. There is a storm and a tsunami outside, and the volcano is still going on. Can you please understand the difficulty of Xinghe's work? Also, don't go to my mother, I Mom has been dead for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Doctor Zhu." Xiao Zhuoming looked at Zhu Min's side face, and wiped away the blood on her forehead indiscriminately, there were dried drops of blood on her glasses, "Okay, okay, I believe in technology, I believe in people's minds. I just hope that the missing person can be found quickly."

"You just got off the plane of the squadron, why do you look more anxious than anyone else? Do you have a good relationship with any of them? Fu Zhong? Or Wei Shanhua?"

"Shut up, you damn doctor, I don't have a good relationship with any of them, but shouldn't I be worried that my teammates are missing? Hey, you seem to be indifferent. Besides, there are some things I know better than you guys many."

Zhu Min raised his eyebrows, turned the hospital bed and slid it into the track, and said, "Oh, I'm afraid you underestimated the scope of knowledge of some men, let alone a doctor. I understand the human body, and a doctor can rise to the level of everything. On a scientific level, everything makes sense."

"Shut up!" Professor Geng's long-suffering old voice came from beside him, "What do you want to do? Huh? Can bickering solve the problem? You want to stir up internal strife here, create chaos and break us down, don't you?"

Geng Shuming was putting on his coat. Zhu Min looked back at him and asked, "Why does the professor follow us all the time? You need to watch the data changes in front of the geological platform."

"Do you think I'm just standing in front of the computer and looking at the data? Damn, I have to go to the observatory, and one of the machines is broken. To get to the observatory, I have to go through this road, just by the way, bad Boy, did no one teach you to make way for the elders?"

The channel begins to fork at the front, the first aid cabin is on the left, and the observation platform has to pass through from the right.Zhu Min turned sideways to make way for Geng Shuming, and Gao Yanwen followed behind with a toolbox on his back. Geng Shuming turned his head and pointed at Zhu Min and said, "Commander can't die, doctor."

"Of course not." Zhu Min replied, "Be careful, professor."

When Xiao Zhuoming ran into the emergency room, Ji Yao was not breathing, and Dawn stared at the computer in his hand, telling them that the patient had started to brain-dead.Xiao Zhuoming cursed, raised his leg and kicked the sliding cabinet blocking the way to the side, and asked the executive behind him to carry the things in.

"What is this? Doctor Shaw. Now is not the time for you to play Tetris. Now is the time to save people, put on your gloves and hat, time is running out."

"I know, I don't need you to remind me of these, I'm highly professional, and it's always been like this." Xiao Zhuoming said, but he didn't look at Zhu Min, and put on the isolation suit for himself, "Get out of the way, Open the reshape chamber."

The executive put a white alloy cube as tall as a person on the ground. Xiao Zhuoming squatted down and knelt down, slid one side of the cube away, and manipulated it skillfully on the keyboard.Zhu Min was dismantling the pacemaker, glanced at Xiao Zhuoming, and saw that the coffin-like cube was slowly unfolding, forming a semi-enclosed cabin after a while, Xiao Zhuoming turned on the lighting system in the cabin, and stood up with the floor propped up.

"Have you finished dismantling your bones? After dismantling, push the commander into this cabin."

"What's the matter with this coffin? Dr. Xiao, if you don't explain the situation to me, I have the right to refuse your request. I'm Ji Yao's attending doctor, and all the higher-ups will ask me for medical reports. I have to be cautious. This is related to the commander's career and destiny."

"You are really noble." Xiao Zhuoming reached out and grabbed the railing of the hospital bed to compete with Zhu Min, "This is the remodeling cabin, the latest invention, you know? The principle is similar to the molecular recombination system, except that it is a medical device. Used to reshape damaged human tissue."

"Who made this thing? I've never heard of such a magical medical device. You suddenly appeared here and told me to use this unknown thing to save the commander's life?"

Xiao Zhuoming stared at Zhu Min, she was not tall, so she had to pass over the frame of her glasses.She tugged at the hospital bed, trying to take it to the remodeling cabin, but Zhu Min refused to let go.Xiao Zhuoming raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Min's badge, and said, "It's just my invention. The experiment was successful, but it hasn't been reported to the Patent Office, let alone academic weekly journals and the media. I'm doing it for this 'backtracking' project. Service. Mission cannot fail."

From the other side, Dawn raised his hand and gestured, "Brainstem reflexes gone, brain waves weakened."

Xiao Zhuoming turned his gaze from Dawn's fingers to Zhu Min's face, a small muscle at the corner of his mouth bulged out with force: "If the commander dies because of your indecision, you, the attending doctor, will also be imprisoned. If I remember correctly, it should be a life sentence?"

Zhu Min lowered his eyes to look at her, and suddenly there was no sound in the emergency cabin except for the hum of the machine.Zhu Min let go of his hand after a few seconds, and pushed Ji Yao into the remodeling cabin: "Okay, Doctor Xiao. I believe in technology and human mind. If you don't bring people back to life, your academic career in the next life will be ruined." Ended up in prison."

Xiao Zhuoming stared into Zhu Min's eyes, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and then disappeared quickly.The hatch was sealed, and Xiao Zhuoming began to input instructions on the computer next to him.Ji Yao lay peacefully under the light, his skin had the luster of porcelain, and his expression was very gentle. This kind of gentleness is rare. He was always rigid and serious in front of many people, like a bronze statue.Zhu Min knew where this tenderness came from, from Pushkin's love poems, from the dream wedding, from the gap in time.

Li Chongyan put down his cell phone, he stood outside the door of the venue, facing Cui Wei's high mountain outside the window.Just now he received a call from the Beijing General Administration, saying that something happened to the "backtracking" plan and he needed some support from the headquarters.

At that time, he only heard chaotic voices from the mobile phone, someone shouting loudly, and even an explosion-like whistling sound.Li Chongyan waited calmly, twirling the leaves of the potted plants with no expression on his face.He doesn't seem to be interested in these things, or he doesn't think they are worth surprising. He is always so calm, restrained, and confident, even if there is a gully in his chest, he never tells anyone.

Ji Yao's last sigh fell to the ground like a feather, and Li Chongyan knew that the microphone was right next to Ji Yao's mouth, and the voice was so clear and bright.He heard the content of that sigh, he was calling a person's name, smudged with an indelible fragrance and fragrance.

"Follow the heart."

Li Chongyan didn't understand the meaning of it, just like he couldn't understand Fu Yangxia, he also couldn't understand what kind of emotion was contained in Ji Yao's sigh.He only felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, leisurely, crushed from the heart.

The operator told him that the commander was inconvenient to talk now, so he disconnected.Li Chongyan looked up at the sky, and he saw the shadow of a flying bird flapping its wings, flying from the top of this building to the top of another building.He put on his scarf and walked down the steps.

Spring has come, and the weather is still very cold. After all, it is a long distance from the equator to Yumen Pass.After the meeting, there were a few people in the corridor in front of the building. Senior officials of NASA were communicating with the person in charge of the base. Li Chongyan didn't go there, and he was a little dizzy.

Walking out of the gate with his forehead supported, the cold wind brushed against his cheeks, the snow had melted, the square was wet, and the snow plow was working.Li Chongyan coughed, and his chest and abdomen felt sore. The assistant came to help him, opened the car door and let him sit in.

Someone outside walked to the window and knocked on the glass politely. Li Chongyan lowered the window and saw a young lady with two badges of NASA and the Beijing Time Bureau pinned to her chest.She is not wearing a suit, but a combat uniform, with the Chinese flag stitched on her arm.

"Is the director leaving?" A middle-aged man, American, walked by the lady, "I wanted to talk to you a little more, but Director Li's speech at the meeting shocked everyone, which is admirable."

"Oh, is there?" Li Chongyan smiled lightly, and extended his hand to shake hands with the Americans as a courtesy, "It's normal, I just told the truth, and we all have to accept the truth."

The American didn't speak. Seeing Li Chongyan's eyes on the lady next to him, he gestured sideways and said, "The international students you sent are indeed rare talents, and I am full of hope for the future of mankind."

"Yue Junqi." The lady in the black combat uniform stretched out her hand and briefly said her name. She is a neat person, as can be seen from her clothes and hair.

Li Chongyan shook hands with the lady. He had been sitting in the car, his coat was wrapped in a suit inside, and his neatly combed white hair made him look a bit cold.Li Chongyan folded his legs, his eyes stretched and shortened, and finally nodded: "We should be full of hope."

In the end they bid farewell, Li Chongyan raised the window, and the car left the square, leaving a few marks on the wet ground.Li Chongyan kept his phone on. He looked through his contacts and clicked on Fu Yangxia's profile picture. He stayed there for a long time, but he never dialed.

He started coughing again and had a terrible headache. The assistant in front looked back at him several times with worried eyes: "Sir, do you need help?"

"No, it's just a cold. You know, it's easy to catch a cold in spring." Li Chongyan said. He put the phone back in his pocket and fastened the collar of his coat. "Take some medicine and you'll be fine."

"You have been in and out of the hospital frequently recently, is there really nothing wrong?"

Li Chongyan put down the veil and caught a glimpse of a trace of red blood. He folded it calmly, put his hands up, looked at the rapidly disappearing street scene outside, and said, "Just doing some routine checks. After all, I often stay in the laboratory. Too strong."

The assistant didn't continue talking, he looked in the rearview mirror, Li Chongyan was sitting by the window, still in the same posture as before, with his head sideways, gray shimmer in his wrinkles, his black coat made him look stern and deserted.

After returning to the perennially idle villa in the suburbs, Li Chongyan had no work. He asked his assistant to review some documents for him, and then went to his room on the second floor. He wanted to rest for a while.After entering the door, the electronic butler automatically popped up the screen for him and started playing the news.

In the past many years, Li Chongyan used to chat and laugh with his friends in this room while learning about the current situation in the world.There are several old diaries and Heine's poetry collection on the desk, several celadon bowls from the Southern Song Dynasty are placed next to the bookcase, and paintings full of post-modern style are hung on the walls.Photo frames of different heights are placed here and there, most of them are group photos, and the people on them are all wearing military uniforms and hats are slanted on their heads.The color of the photo has faded, and there is a small date written below, written in ink, with a sad sense of age.

"In June 1977, I met Fu Yangxia for the first time."

"In January 1983, Fu Yangxia and Ji Songlin."

"In December 2001, Lord Zanying died."

"In October 2008, in Gang Rinpoche, Tibet."

"In March 2009, I went to Siberia's Evon Autonomous Region with Fu Yangxia, on the banks of the Tunguska River."

"July 2009, Lake Baikal base, the eve of the flight test."

"November 2011, go home."

"In 2017, the war on terrorism, the last photo with my son."

"In 2018, her funeral."

......

He took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair, then lay down on the bed.The heating system, which had not been working for a long time, warmed the room like a crackling firewood.The news continued, he fell asleep amidst the monotonous and regular sounds, and it began to rain lightly outside the window.

Fu Yangxia put down the pen and tapped the tip of the pen while talking on the phone.He looked at the newly blooming flowers outside the window, and the thin mist drifted over the sculptures on the courtyard wall, and even his tone became gentle: "Are you going to go back to China today? You can arrive at night."

Australia, Melbourne International Airport.Mrs. Fu's family was sitting in the car heading to the airport. She was wearing white crepe de chine trousers, a darker-colored long-sleeved jacket over a gray-green twill top, and a gray-toned ginger hat with a wide brim. Complements the bracelet on the wrist.

She looked at the slanted sky outside the car window. There were few clouds, but the air was very cloudy.Above the spider web, the bottom structure of the space carrier can be vaguely seen, like another planet.The city is brightly lit, gunships are parading the sky, police cars are parked on the streets, police lines are everywhere, and the parade is marching through the city with great momentum holding a sign that reads "WAR".

The lady looked at the rapidly receding lamppost by the roadside, tapped her fingers, and called back: "The city is not peaceful. There was a parade in the morning, but it was broken up by the police, and now it has started again. I want to go back to China early. The country is more peaceful. Safety."

Fu Yangxia didn't speak, and his wife asked again: "What's going on recently, the emptiness is like out of control, I've lived for so many years, this is the first time I've encountered such a thing. Old Fu, you care about this , you should know why."

"Well, there is a little problem, but it's a small problem, we can deal with it." Fu Yangxia smiled, his tone sounded relaxed, he picked up his pen again, and moved to the signature under the document paper, "Maybe it will be solved tomorrow It's like Fu Zhong's childhood dream."

Madam laughed, stretched the wrinkles on her face, touched the bridge of her nose with thin fingers, and said, "You still haven't told me the truth."

Fu Yangxia laughed softly, like a small talk at noon, looking peaceful and happy.He pursed his lips, turned the pen twice, and said jokingly: "Maybe Hollow intends to crash the earth, and is preparing for warm-up exercises, and we are about to die."

After they finished speaking, they all laughed, Fu Yangxia sighed, rubbed his forehead while laughing, raised his eyebrows, and didn't say anything.There are many terrible truths, and it is said in such a light-hearted joke, it is like talking about a sad past with a happy mood, and all the sadness disappears.Madam thought he was joking, she knew her husband well, Fu Yangxia always had a sense of humor in front of her.

"The old man is still lying like a child when he is old. I told you what to do." The lady blamed with a smile, and the car turned a corner to the inside of the airport. "I received news this morning that the island of New Zealand has completely sunk Yes, the refugees are coming to Australia. The Canberra train station was attacked by terrorists two days ago, and the government is very troubled by this.”

"Go home early, the country is safe for the time being. We will try our best to resolve this empty crisis peacefully. There can be no more wars. Human beings should not end up in this situation."

"Oh my god, I'm just out for a vacation, how did it turn out like this. Where's my son? How's Fu Zhong doing? Are you in contact with him? There's very little news about the 'backtracking' plan .”

Fu Yangxia's eyes kept spinning on the tip of the pen, as if he was wandering away and didn't know where he was going.There was a bird singing outside, maybe it was a yellow warbler flying out of the Forbidden City, carrying the prosperity and prosperity of the dynasty.He put everything in a good direction: "He is very good."

"Of course, nothing will happen to my son. After all, he is so good, and he also has a very good instructor. I remember his instructor's name? It seems that the surname is Ji... What Ji, I forgot. …”

"Ji Yao." Fu Yangxia told her, the name swirled on the tip of her tongue like an ice cube, and then fell into her stomach like water.

"Oh, I remembered. I only met him once, and he was indeed a brilliant young man. I gave him my son with great confidence."

Madam's car stopped, she got out of the car, smelled the faint smell of smoke in the air, and bodyguards surrounded her.The ginger hat was pressed on the madam's bun, and the pearls under the ears were dangling. I don't know if the pearls added to her beauty, or she made the pair of pearls more shining.

"I'm at the airport, I'll board the plane later, and I can arrive in Beijing tonight. You can work at ease and don't worry about me. I know you've been busy recently."

Fu Yangxia finally signed his name on the document paper. This was the result of his thinking for a long time: "I'll wait for you at home. I haven't seen you for a long time. I should take a look. I will take the troops on a mission again in a while. We'll have to wait half a year to meet again."

"You are always so busy." Madam said, she was carrying a white leather bag, and walked through a passageway covered with a classic dark green carpet. The cool smell of perfume and the smell of hot gunpowder mixed together, forming a precarious prelude, "Okay, I'll see you at home, old man."

"See you at home." Fu Yangxia smiled slightly, he didn't hang up the phone immediately, he always asked his wife to hang up first, this is his long-standing habit.

Madam waited for a long time and did not disconnect from the other side. She walked to the exclusive reception hall where the private jet took off and landed, and checked that the call was still displayed on the phone.Madam narrowed her eyes and smiled, and her wrinkles became younger, she knew Fu Yangxia's little trick.She weighed the phone twice and pressed the hang up button.

The explosion suddenly sounded around me, followed by the screams of the crowd, a series of explosions in the terminal hall of Melbourne Airport, and all the buildings collapsed instantly in the flames and smoke of the explosion.A Gulfstream G550 business jet that stayed alone not far away—the private jet that the wife was about to take also exploded. The whole plane was torn apart in an instant. lawn.The fire swept across the entire airport, and people were running in all directions.

In a high-rise hotel one kilometer away from the airport, the surveillance video inside the airport was displayed on the computer, and the last frame of the picture stayed at the moment Mrs. Fu's family pressed the hang up button.Facing the raging fire at the airport, someone by the window calmly made a phone call: "The mission is completed, the target is dead."

After speaking, he threw the phone into the glass jar. After a burst of electricity, the phone turned into molecules and dispersed.After the computer was turned off, he put it in the box, and he stuck the glass jar into the second layer of the box. After finishing these, he carried the suitcase and walked out the door without leaving any traces.

After the explosion, fire engines and ambulances arrived and put out the fire urgently.A ginger hat was exposed from the collapsed ruins, and half of the hat was burned away by a ball of fire. The flames swayed on the ruins like red flowers in March in Beijing.

The author says:

The plot requires it, and Gong Shou will not appear for a long time.With an outline, it will end.
