Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 200 Seeing the Roosting Crow

Bai Zhu sat at the dining table and read the newspaper, with a clock in hand.She glanced at the clock, turned the paper over, and saw the headline in the lower right corner read "Ambassador of Peace Arrived in New York Last Night," without a picture, because the news had been squeezed into the most inconspicuous corner.

The helper brought out the breakfast plate, and Bai Zhu could smell the aroma of the grilled yellow croaker.Xiao Zhuoming was taken to the restaurant by his assistant on time, and they passed through many corridors along the way.Xiao Zhuoming took a nap in the bedroom, and got up early in the morning to exercise.

"Doctor Xiao." Bai Zhu sat at the head, closed the newspaper in his hand, put it aside, reached out to shake hands with Xiao Zhuoming, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Xiao Zhuoming nodded, sat down in the side chair, and wiped his hands with the silk cloth prepared beside him: "Great, once the curtains in the room are drawn, the noisy wind and snow outside can be completely inaudible. Thank you, madam. Treat."

She didn't say any polite words, and sat in front of Bai Zhu calmly, as if the two were friends who talked about everything, but in fact this was the first time they met.Bai Zhu smiled slightly and folded her hands, Xiao Zhuoming noticed that she was wearing a diamond ring on her finger.Xiao Zhuoming got a taste of Mrs. Bai's temperament in the first few quick glances. She could sit at the dining table and wait for guests in a cream yellow silk dressing gown and a complete set of pink diamond jewelry, and she never felt impatient or complained about it.

"Did you just come back from exercising?" Bai Zhu asked with a smile, and put a plate of steamed mussels closer to Xiao Zhuoming, "I hope you're not exercising outdoors, it's already freezing cold outside."

They laughed, Xiao Zhuoming put down his chopsticks after eating two pieces of mussels, and asked: "I contacted Mr. Fu Yangxia earlier, did he ask you to pick me up from Lake Baikal? Madam Bai, I have never seen you before." , I didn't know you would show up."

On Bai Zhu's plate was a piece of Poria biscuits, and another bowl of almond jelly sprinkled with nuts and dried red dates. Her breakfast had two completely different flavors from Xiao Zhuoming's.Hearing this, Bai Zhu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhuoming, and said, "It's him. He is Fu Zhong's father, and I'm an acquaintance with him. Fu Zhong's problem is serious, Dr. Xiao? I already understood it yesterday. As for why?" Fu Yangxia thought of asking me for help at the very beginning, because only I have the way to save him."

"I heard from your assistant that three freezers have been transferred to the laboratory in the basement of this mansion. I wanted to enter the laboratory yesterday, but was refused."

"I'll take you there later, it's one of the top laboratories in the world, Dr. Xiao doesn't have to doubt it." Bai Zhu said, she chopped up the biscuit and poured diluted whipped cream on it, " Since I accept your three patients, it means that I can definitely provide you with technical support."

Xiao Zhuoming put a few shelled and fried bamboo prawns into his bowl, but he didn't rush to say, "Not three, there are only two patients."

"Oh." Bai Zhu paused, and put a piece of pancake into his mouth, "I got the information that there are three freezer compartments, so I thought there were three patients. Then what's in the other freezer compartment?"

Xiao Zhuoming thought for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said, "A dog."

Bai Zhu looked at her: "A dog?"

"The dog is very healthy, not sick or carrying germs, Madam, don't worry. I just need to thaw it, and it can still be alive and kicking." Xiao Zhuoming continued after a short interval, "Probably the commander gave him a talisman. heartfelt gift."

"Oh, so it is."

Bai Zhu simply agreed, and she put down the hard porcelain bowl containing almond jelly, watching Xiao Zhuoming with a normal face, using chopsticks to accurately tear apart the shrimp meat, and pouring oil on it.Xiao Zhuoming ate the food by herself, she hadn't had such a taste for a long time.

"It sounds like they have a good relationship?" Bai Zhu asked, she always raised the corner of her mouth gently, her berry-colored lips didn't look aggressive at this time, "They even gave a gift when they parted."

"The commander is very kind to us, he is a very good leader. If someone else is sent into the cryogenic chamber, I think he will definitely send something to express his blessing. Although he is fierce Yes, but the people are nice."

Xiao Zhuoming said calmly, Bai Zhu didn't hear anything unusual from her tone.The pink porcelain vase on the dining table is inlaid with French gilt, and there are seasonal flowers in it, today it is yellow rose and Chinese rose.Xiao Zhuoming propped his elbow to look at the vase, and counted the swallows on the vase.

"It sounds like you really respect him." Bai Zhu said.

"Hmm. It's not just me. Everyone in the 'Backtracking Project' respects him." Xiao Zhuoming's gaze shifted from the pink porcelain vase to Bai Zhu's face. The grilled yellow croaker has not moved at all.

Bai Zhu didn't continue this topic, and gestured to the plate on the table, asking: "The chef's craftsmanship is not to your liking?"

Xiao Zhuoming lowered his eyes and glanced around, then said calmly: "All of them are prepared according to the way of my hometown cuisine, Madam really has a heart. There is nothing that is not to my liking, but I really can't eat it anymore. I am still worrying about the things that are consistent with my heart. .”

The helper came to clear away the dishes on the table, served Bai Zhuan coffee, and put a bowl of peach gum in front of Xiao Zhuoming.Bai Zhu added sugar cubes to the coffee, stirred it, and said, "Does Doctor Xiao continue to stay in the 'Retrospect Project' in order to cure Fu Zhong?"

"Yes, curing Fu Zhong is what the commander personally ordered me to do. He attaches great importance to the health and safety of Fu Zhong. But this is only one of the reasons. I also have a scientific research plan, which is attached to the 'backtracking' plan', of course I have to stay."

"Oh, I can tell that your commander really cares about his subordinates." Bai Zhu was thoughtful, she put down the glass, spread her hands, and the diamond ring shone dazzlingly under the lamp, "Don't you think this Is this kind of concern a little too much?"

Xiao Zhuoming scooped up the peach gum and slid a piece down. She looked down at the semi-solidified liquid shaking in the bowl, and answered after a while: "No, I never feel it."

Bai Zhu hummed, and asked about other things: "What is Dr. Xiao's 'another scientific research project'? Can I know some information about it? Maybe my laboratory can provide you with a little help. "

"It's hard to explain, Mrs. Bai." Xiao Zhuoming scooped up the last two spoonfuls of peach gum. She rarely went to see Bai Zhu, but Bai Zhu didn't think she was rude, "I don't even know what your laboratory looks like." I know, then I can't tell you anything."

She swallowed the last mouthful of peach gum and put down the spoon.Bai Zhu recruited a helper to clean up the dining table, stood up, and took off the coat draped over the back of the chair.Xiao Zhuoming put on a suede horn button jacket over a sweater coat, and when he turned his head, he saw the wind and snow blowing outside the glass wall.The statue in the garden stands in the middle of the frozen pool, a shelf of wisteria and withered grapes is entwined on the frozen wood, scattered among the bushes in the snow, a dark shadow suddenly jumps up and disappears into the drawn curtains behind.

"Wild cat." Bai Zhu glanced out the window, and she also saw the fleeting, flustered and vigilant figure, lowered her head and continued to arrange the fur sewn on the cuff, "there are often animals visiting the mansion, wild cats, pheasants , wild peacocks, and even wild wolves."

Xiao Zhuoming was fortunate enough to see the whole mansion when she was exercising in the morning. When she stood on the high terrace, she could overlook the winding river and the large birch forest.The mountains line up like waves, and hidden in the undulating mountains are gardens, temples and villas.

Such mountains are full of wildness, coupled with the low temperature and blizzard for months, the animals in the mountains can't find food, so they just run around and use the mansion as part of their hunting grounds.

"It's been a long time since a bird has flown over the Greater Khingan Mountains," Bai Zhu said, and she took Xiao Zhuoming to the underground laboratory. "Even the snowy owls disappeared, let alone the turtledoves and starlings. The wolves were hungry all night and all night." The howling can be heard dozens of miles away. They also howled violently last night, did Dr. Xiao hear it?"

"I didn't hear it. When the curtains in the bedroom were drawn, all sounds were cut off from the outside. I slept peacefully for two hours." Xiao Zhuoming said.

"Oh."

Xiao Zhuoming walked into the elevator, carrying her own backpack, which usually contained her usual tools and medicines, as well as a few books and a bottle of water.She frowned and tapped her toes, and after deliberating for a while, she asked Bai Zhu next to her, "The storm probably caused a big impact on the hunting ground, right?"

Bai Zhu stood half an arm's length away from Xiao Zhuoming. The collar of her coat was turned out, and the fur at the neckline went around the front chest, and they mate at the back and fixed it with a pin.Xiao Zhuoming could smell the perfume on her body, which was probably pink as well.

"It's too bad. No hunter is willing to enter the mountain. The hunting ground is very deserted. There are many animals running down the mountain. Sometimes hunters see them and they can get a bargain." Bai Zhu said, "The mansion is built in the mountain. Wild life abounds. I also saw an old wolf come out of the bushes, wander around the garden twice and then leave without finding anything. It was a very old wolf that was losing its hair It was lighted up, and one of my eyes was blind, and I was trembling with hunger in the snow. I just stood there without doing anything, just watched it disappear into the snow.”

Having said this, Bai Zhu paused for a while, and let out a breath, as if recalling something unpleasant.After a long while, she continued: "The next morning, someone came to tell me that a wolf corpse was found on the way from the garden to the back mountain, and it was frozen into ice. I don't know if it was the old wolf, but I know that if I had someone throw a few pieces of raw meat to it the night before, the old wolf probably wouldn't die."

Xiao Zhuoming listened to Bai Zhu's calm narration, and she could feel the unusual emotion in Bai Zhu's tone. When Bai Zhu talked about natural creatures, he was often more interested in discussing people than in discussing them.After Bai Zhu finished speaking, the two fell silent in the elevator, and Xiao Zhuoming thought about the meaning of Bai Zhu's words.

"But what's the point of saying these words now? It's just an afterthought." Bai Zhu pressed his sleeve, "That's how people are, they continue to live heartlessly after a heartbreak."

At the end of the elevator, Bai Zhu waited for the door to open before going out, and verified his identity by the door.Behind the metal door is another corridor, and then take a glass elevator to descend.Xiao Zhuoming stopped talking to Bai Zhu after entering the metal gate, and she silently remembered the way in her heart.

A few minutes later, Xiao Zhuoming actually stepped on the floor of the laboratory, and then she understood why Fu Yangxia asked Bai Zhu to pick her up.There is a world-class laboratory hidden in the mountains of Daxinganling, which is almost isolated from the world. This is something Xiao Zhuoming has never imagined or heard of before, and she is lucky to step here.She felt that she was favored, and it seemed that good luck would start from now on.

"We hollowed out an entire mountain, and then dug a few hundred meters down to build this underground laboratory. It is completely isolated from the outside world, so you rarely hear about it." Bai Zhu unloaded the fur Get down and put it on your arm, "The laboratory is my private property, I didn't give it a name. You can call it whatever you want, little blue, little yellow... or whatever else, it's up to you. "

Xiao Zhuoming nodded: "Does Madam also want to do research in her own laboratory?"

Bai Zhu didn't deny it, and thought for a while before answering: "When my husband was still there, I was a researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and my husband was a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatory. We often used this laboratory at that time. "

After a pause, she added: "But that was more than ten years ago, and I stopped doing research a long time ago."

Xiao Zhuoming didn't reply.

"What do these people do?" Xiao Zhuoming pointed to a labeled door, where researchers were working.

Bai Zhu stopped in front of a door, and there was a sign on the door frame next to it, with the words "standard operation" written on it.This brand had the same one in the tour cabin, Xiao Zhuoming remembered it clearly, she looked at the brand a few more times, and stepped on the heel of her shoe.

"They are another team that is researching a memory extraction technology. The team leader is Professor Qi Mingli. I don't know if you have heard of Professor Qi Mingli. He is an amazing scholar. I think you should not know him."

"Of course, ma'am, I've heard of Professor Qi a long time ago. I have benefited a lot from his 'Homologous Interconnection Hypothesis', which we also studied in the 'Retrospective Project'. He is also my teacher. teacher."

The door labeled "standard operation" was opened from the inside, and a man came out and took off his mask: "Whose teacher am I?"

Qi Mingli stood in front of Xiao Zhuoming, paused for a while, and asked Bai Zhu: "Is this the doctor from Lake Baikal?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Oh." Qi Mingli stretched out his hand, and Xiao Zhuoming also shook hands with him, "Qi Mingli."

"Xiao Zhuoming."

Qi Mingli returned to the question just now. He was obviously very interested in this question: "You said that I am your teacher's teacher? Who is your teacher?"

Xiao Zhuoming looked at Qi Mingli's glasses, then looked away, hesitated for a while, and said, "Professor Yang Qihua."

"I remember him, I remember him most clearly, that bad boy, I remember him for almost 40 years." Qi Mingli suddenly became emotional, he pushed up his glasses, "I heard he is doing well now? "

Bai Zhu stood aside to deal with her own affairs, she did not participate in the conversation between Qi Mingli and Xiao Zhuoming.Xiao Zhuoming stood upright, putting the backpack on his shoulder.She loosened the collar of her jacket, stepped on her leather boots and stood there silently looking at Qi Mingli.

They confronted each other like this for a long time, and finally Xiao Zhuoming was the first to speak: "He is now a well-known biological expert, the president of CUBL, and the nominal captain of the medical team of the 'Retrospective Project'. He looks really good, at least much better than me. "

Qi Mingli put his hands down from his waist, stared at Xiao Zhuoming for a while, then took off his glasses and wiped his head, nodded: "You are so young, there is still a long way to go in the future. Yang Qihua has finally grown up, and I didn't worry about it in vain .”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and pushed open the glass door, blocking the "standardized operation" sign, shook his head and walked in: "I'm already 89 years old, why should I worry about it?"

Bai Zhu motioned for Xiao Zhuoming to follow in.

Xiao Zhuoming tilted his neck towards Bai Zhu: "My teacher's teacher. What a coincidence. The world is so small."

Bai Zhu smiled lightly.

There is a tunnel cabin in the laboratory behind the glass door, which is relatively large and occupies almost half of the space. A circle of white lights is on at the entrance and exit, indicating that the hatch is sealed.Xiao Zhuoming glanced into the tunnel cabin, and there was a person lying inside.

Qi Mingli turned Xiao Zhuoming's attention to him: "This is Dr. Xiao's three freezer compartments, two people, and... a dog, a good match."

"The dog is fine, it can be thawed directly." Xiao Zhuoming left the tunnel cabin, walked over and put the backpack in the soft chair next to him, "Is it allowed to thaw directly here? This dog has been deeply cleaned and disinfected. Can do it again."

"Let's not think about the dog right now. We have other things to do. The man named Fu Zhong is displayed on the screen. I think he should be the most important patient. Well, it is said that his brain has problems and his memory is affected. Damaged?" Qi Mingli nodded his finger.

Xiao Zhuoming took off his jacket, put on a white coat, and said, "Indeed, he's in big/trouble/trouble. I want to heal the wound in his head, and make sure his memory won't be damaged. There's trouble."

"I know you're in trouble, otherwise why would you ship people to me?"

"What do you mean?"

Bai Zhu replied: "Professor Qi Mingli invented a new technology, which can use genes to locate human memory, and then extract and delete it in vitro. He is the only person in the world who can save Fu Zhong. Otherwise, you think, Fu Yang Why did Xia ask me to send someone to pick you up?"

Xiao Zhuoming was silent, he licked the back of his teeth, looked at Fu Zhong for the last time, propped up his hands and said: "So I went to the earth 46 billion years ago, and when I came back, I found that the world has changed a lot. Use genes to locate memory ...fuck it, I'm still too young."

"Yeah, it's changed a lot." Bai Zhu spread his hands.She seemed to mean something, and seemed to be talking about the matter.

The tunnel cabin next to it was opened, and the cabin frame inside came out automatically, and a transparent coffin was placed on it, and a person was lying in it.Xiao Zhuoming watched the coffin being tagged and sent to the freezer, and asked, "Who is that person?"

Bai Zhu raised his eyelids and took a look, then replied casually: "Another person who needs to retrieve his memory, but he is already dead."

"Oh." Xiao Zhuoming watched the door of the freezer close.

Qi Mingli looked up at the two of them, and said, "Is Fu Zhong the only one who needs to retrieve his memory? Does this person named Lin Cheng need it?"

"He doesn't need it. His memory is fine. He just has a strange disease, which is a bit difficult to treat." Xiao Zhuoming put on his mask, walked over and dragged out the remodeling cabin of Concord, and pushed it into the tunnel with Qi Mingli in the cabin.

Bai Zhu walked to the side of Lin Cheng's cabin, looked down at Lin Cheng's face, and asked, "What's wrong with this man? He looks terrible. What ghosts and ghosts did you encounter in the 'Backtracking Project'?"

"The disease caused by unknown etiology, deteriorates quickly and violently. The immune system attacks its own organs, and he keeps vomiting, spitting out necrotic tissue." Xiao Zhuoming suddenly couldn't continue, she stood outside the tunnel cabin with a pen in her hand, "Anyway, it's bad See through."

"Oh, so Dr. Xiao's scientific research plan is to study this person's disease?" Bai Zhu rubbed the back of his hand and said in a statement tone, "Your commander will indeed not give up on anyone, and now I am finally sure of this gone."

Her subsequent words became very soft and fell to the floor like feathers without arousing any echo.Xiao Zhuoming didn't hear what Baizhu said later, but she had no time to care about it because she was busy assisting Qi Mingli with his work.

Xiao Zhuoming opened the remodeling cabin and started the shallow resuscitation procedure, but Fu Zhong couldn't fully wake up.When Qi Mingli was about to insert the connecting wire into Fu Zhong's cranial cavity, Xiao Zhuoming pressed his hand and asked, "Do you want to take out the memory directly like this?"

"Of course. I will establish an equation, and the particles will extract his memory according to the equation." Qi Mingli said, pointing to the quartz tube next to him, "Then convert the memory through the computer and store it in this quartz tube, and everything will be fine. gone."

"Then I'm responsible for saving his brain tissue, right?"

"Yes, that's your business."

Xiao Zhuoming raised his eyebrows, pressed the line of his lower lip, and said, "Can you guarantee the integrity of the memory?"

"Of course, there is no doubt about it."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuoming raised the pen and pointed to the computer screen, "Can you play the specific content of the memory like a movie?"

Qi Mingli glanced at the screen and nodded: "It's fine if you want."

"I don't want to." Xiao Zhuoming refused him, and turned to the other side to enter the data, "I advise none of you to try to peek at his memory, this is my advice to you. Although I am young, there are some things you really need to say. Remember. Get to work, there's no time."

Bai Zhu stood beside them, looked into the tunnel cabin, and said, "Fu Zhong's cryogenic cabin looks different from others', so it shouldn't be equipped with the coordinate instrument?"

Xiao Zhuoming didn't look up, and replied: "That's the remodeling cabin, my new invention, which can reshape damaged tissues of the human body, and also incorporates forced freezing technology. I haven't had time to declare it to the patent office, but it is undeniable that its function is indeed very important. Very powerful."

"Did you apply to the higher authorities when using forced freezing technology? This technology is protected." Bai Zhu said.

"Applied, the commander reminded me. The higher-ups agreed that I should apply this technology to new inventions. After all, technology has to keep improving, right?" Xiao Zhuoming glanced at Bai Yi, "Madam seems to be very interested in this technology. Do you know the technology well?"

Bai Zhu didn't nod or shake his head, and said with a smile, "I'm one of the creators of the principle of freezing in a cryochamber."

When Ji Yao woke up, the room was dark, the lights were not on, and the curtains were drawn.He felt a headache after waking up, and he didn't get up immediately. He opened his eyes in the dark, and could only vaguely see the outline of the room.

Stretching out his arm from under the thin quilt, he felt a dull pain, and he didn't need to look to know that there were a few needle holes on his arm - Zhu Min injected him with a lot of sedatives.Ji Yao didn't have a dream, and when she woke up, she felt that her body was empty, as if she had forgotten who she was going to meet and what she was going to do.Sleep without dreams made him a little uncomfortable, and the overly stable environment would make him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He was used to living in nightmares until he became a part of it.

He sat up and rubbed the center of his brows, his head hurt for a while, and then subsided, replaced by a beating heart.Ji Yao took a few breaths, he knew that it was his virtue to wake up after falling asleep.The lights in the house turned on automatically, and Ji Yao raised his hand to block the light.

The room was very quiet, he was the only one. Although the bed was warmed by his own body temperature, it was still cold, and no one opened the closed door after a long time.Ji Yao remembered the last time he woke up like this, Fu Zhong pushed open the door and walked in, sitting side by side with him on the bed and talking.They leaned on their knees, with Ji Yao in Fu Zhong's arms, listening to his gentle voice, the sky outside was blackened by the moon, and the sky was full of stars falling like red fruits.

Now Fu Zhong is gone, and he is still alone, thinking about the past time in the dark.Like a dream in a gazebo, a rainbow in front of Niagara Falls, a burst of soap bubbles floating in Budapest Square, suddenly disappeared from the world.

There was no time to even look back.We will eventually forget the mountains, lakes, forests and deserts in our dreams, the phantoms we once had but passed away together in the end, and those good times when the rain falls before the court and the plums are green and yellow.

Ji Yao waited for a long time but no one came, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, took the hat from the table and put it on.There were some medicines on the table, and Ji Yao casually looked at them. They were new medicines that he had never taken before, and they were used to treat headaches and migraines. There were instructions on the bottom.

The needle eye in his hand was still aching, Ji Yao rolled up his sleeve and took a look, but didn't care.The clock on the wall indicated that it was still working time. Ji Yao finished dressing in front of the mirror and pushed the door out. The executive who happened to pass by said "good afternoon" to him.

"Slept for almost two and a half hours." Zhu Min said after seeing Ji Yao, who was walking out of the MSC laboratory, "How do you feel?"

"very good."

"I can rest assured that."

Ji Yao closed his neck and said, "Is the machine in MSC laboratory easy to use?"

"It's very useful." Zhu Min replied.

"Ah."

Zhu Min glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Did you have a dream?"

"No, nothing. What did you inject me with?"

"...a small dose of nerve inhibitors, injected to you on the advice of Dr. Dawn. It can effectively suppress dreams, especially nightmares."

Ji Yao saw Dawn in another laboratory. He was communicating with his mentor about a neural model.Zhu Min looked down at the back of Ji Yao's hand, pointed at it, and said, "The skin on the hand is torn, it's really hard to hit, even my own father can do it."

"It's one thing to return my father to my father." Ji Yao said, raising his hand to look at the wound on his fist bone, "What did he do is another matter. What he did made me feel uncomfortable." I can't respect him. Honestly, I wish he hadn't been in front of me."

"But everyone already knows that he is the former minister of the executive department. You beat the former minister openly. It's not good to say it."

"I've been beaten, so what's the use of talking about it now. You see, Big Pig, I'm not a good officer, am I? I'm notorious, and there's no one worse than me."

Zhu Min moved his lips and said, "That's not true."

Ji Yao smiled, but said nothing.Zhu Min glanced at Dawn in the laboratory, leaned against a flat wall, and said to Ji Yao in the quiet corridor: "Santu, I think you should learn to control your emotions by yourself. Instead of Dependent on sedatives."

"Am I not good enough in this area? I had been patient for a long time before I hit Ji Songlin, until I really broke down in the venue just now. However, I just punched him twice. What, are you Do you think I'm going too far?"

"Yes, at least you shouldn't do it in front of so many people."

Ji Yao nodded Zhu Min's chest: "If it were you at that time, you would have done more than I did. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Zhu Min copied his pockets: "When Fu Zhong was here before, he could help you control your emotions, and you could find comfort from him. You were confident, and I was also confident. But now he is gone, Santu, everything depends on you Yourself. Even if you don't know if you will see each other again, but I think...you should set a good example for him. You must both want to see each other get better and better, and both Willing to become better and better for each other, so I think you can try to change."

"Why is my road so difficult?"

"Yes, all living beings are suffering. So you have to think about it, whose salvation are you?"

Ji Yao didn't speak, Zhu Min didn't force him, raised his hand and patted his arm, stood up straight and straightened his clothes, and said, "You can try to change yourself, but we will always be behind you."

"Thank you." Ji Yao said after a while.

Zhu Min felt that he couldn't finish it. He touched his lips and saw that there was no one coming and going in the aisle, and then asked: "Can you tell me what you like about Fu Zhong? I don't know how he subdued him." Yours, after all, you are too strong."

Ji Yao stood opposite Zhu Min, farther away, and put his hands in his trouser pockets.He stared at Zhu Min for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth provocatively, nodded and said, "He plays baseball well."

"Oh..." Zhu Min raised his chin thoughtfully, and when he raised his eyebrows, his forehead was wrinkled, "A home run."

"Well, yes, a home run." Ji Yao said with a smile.

Zhu Min shook his body twice, and then laughed as well: "Wow, you can really dance."

"Yeah, I can really dance."

Zhu Min watched Ji Yao leave along the aisle, then straightened his clothes, and took out another box of reagents from the next compartment.He glanced at Dawn's laboratory, only to find that Dawn was also looking at him.After Dawn exchanged a glance with Zhu Min, he hurriedly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant and sorting out the documents on the table.Zhu Min's eyebrows and eyes were bent, and the wrinkles appeared at once.He didn't bother Dawn, lightly patted the dust off his clothes, and walked straight into another laboratory.

"Is the work in the base going on normally? Is the calculation of the birthplace and time of the Dragon King going on?" Ji Yao asked the assistant.

"It has already started. As soon as the conference is over, they will start the calculation work. All directors have received orders. Geological stations, observatories, etc., they work together."

Ji Yao nodded, and approved the backlog of several documents: "How long will it take for the calculation results to come out?"

"Undecided, it may take a long time. The results of the first round of estimation have come out, and the conclusion drawn after the Galaxy calculation is that 'the Dragon King will appear after two at the latest'. But this result has been denied, two The moon is ridiculously long, maybe the parameters are wrong."

"Probably two months."

"In addition, each station has set up an expert group, and there are also global exploration and deep space exploration projects for the Dragon King, which are undergoing urgent filing and need your approval."

Ji Yao pulled down the document from the printer and stamped it: "An emergency meeting will be held after the evening training, and the location will be in the central control hall."

After dinner, Ji Yao went to Ji Songlin's farm built inside the submarine base.They went together, but they seldom spoke on the road, and they hadn't completely settled down.Ji Songlin had bluish marks and scars on his face. The doctor treated him, and he didn't look so embarrassed.

Ji Songlin pulled open an iron fence, and a few pieces of barbed wire were hung on it, and a corner was raised, allowing an adult to enter and exit.The entrance to the farm was paved with gravel, and beside it was a wooden sign painted black with a giant eagle tree, and the rest was bare, with cracks crawling all over the board.Ji Yao's eyes stopped on the wooden sign for a while.

"This was originally a training ground for executives." Ji Songlin walked in from under the barbed wire, "There are four or five such training grounds, but obviously I don't have any executives to train. So I transformed this place into a farm, Plant some vegetables to sustain life needs."

Ji Yao stood farther away. The edge of the farm was built with stone bricks to form a low wall. Ji Yao stood on one of the bricks covered with dust and mud spots, overlooking the neatly planned land below.He didn't respond to Ji Songlin's words, as if he didn't hear it, but also seemed to be listening carefully.

The gravel road extends from the entrance to the middle of the farm, and then diverges on both sides, dividing the farm into multiple pieces.Tomatoes are planted on the left, green plants on the right smell like peppers, and potatoes are planted in front of a large aluminum alloy one-story house—the granary.

Ji Songlin stood on the bricks and stones, kept a distance from Ji Yao, raised his finger to the front, and said, "Behind the granary is a small avocado grove, which can harvest a lot every year, but I don't need so many avocados alone. Yes. There is an orange grove next to it, which was just picked a while ago."

"Didn't you say you don't like oranges?"

"But oranges are easy to grow."

"Is it so difficult to admit that you like oranges?"

"It's really hard."

Ji Yao glanced at him, then looked up at the ceiling, and asked, "Is this a simulation environment?"

"Well, Kalber automatically monitors and changes the planting conditions here according to the changes of the four seasons."

"What is stored in the granary?"

"It's mainly potatoes, which have a relatively long storage period. There are also carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, etc., and a relatively small number of leafy vegetables, such as small green vegetables."

Ji Songlin pulled a chair and sat down, leaned over to change his shoes, the soles of the shoes were covered with mud, they should be the work shoes that he often wears when going to the ground.Ji Yao put the hat on the window sill of the bungalow next to the farm, and said, "You are now a farmer."

"Indeed." Ji Songlin seemed to smile, tied his shoelaces tightly, put his trouser legs into his boots, and looked up at the spacious field, "It's like returning to the old life. You can call your cooking officer to come It’s good for you to pick some vegetables here and eat more vegetables.”

Ji Yao didn't agree, nor refused.He stood far away, unwilling to get too close to Ji Songlin.Stepping on stone bricks, after a while, the shiny leather boots were covered with yellow dust.Ji Yao looked at the other end of the farm from a distance, imitating the airflow blown by nature to form a warm wind, passing through the avocado grove, the lush and lush leaves rustling.The surroundings are very quiet, and the dry wind seems to blow from the fields in June, carrying the fragrance of sand and bitter mustard.

After Ji Songlin put on his shoes, he was not in a hurry to get off. He rolled up his sleeves and sat on a chair, leaning on his knees to inspect the land he cultivated, and suddenly asked Ji Yao: "Why do you keep so far away when you talk to anyone?" Far?"

The artificial warm wind blows Ji Yao's hair gently, and his mood suddenly relaxes in such a peaceful atmosphere. Only gentleness can relieve his fatigue.He stood on tiptoe and answered after a while: "Because people who are too close to me will suffer misfortune."

"Then dodge like this?"

"That's how I approach death."
