Ark, they don't revolve around you

This old man probably doesn't care about the news. He doesn't care about the identities of the two girls sitting in the store, even if one of them is a well-known terrorist and the other is the current mayor of Longmen.

His memory may still be stuck on the afternoon of twenty years ago when the two little girls walked together through the streets and alleys of Longmen, and finally stopped at this store. They had no money and could only watch the lights inside dim.

Those were two cute little ones. Who would refuse to serve two bowls of noodles to two little girls? The shop owner thought, it was a pity that the two girls didn't finish their meal because they quarreled in the middle and one girl ran away and never showed up again.

"You actually still remember this place, Tallulah?" Chen Huijie opened her chopsticks and picked up the noodles.

"Why don't you remember?" Tallulah said calmly, "I have a lot of vague impressions of Longmen, but I remember this store very clearly."

This was their childhood, but when they came to realize it, the two little girls had grown up. Grown-up girls can no longer be as willful as before, and they would not live up to the boss’s kindness and still feel that they had done nothing wrong.

She took a sip of soup and her eyes lit up: "You should recommend this restaurant to the doctor."

Chen Huijie lowered her head and said nothing, as if that name had become her Achilles' heel.

Tallulah ignored him and reported calmly, "Dr. Kal'tsit said the doctor's vital signs are very stable, or even abnormally healthy." She didn't look at her sister. "The doctor's cells are dividing at an accelerated rate. After Dr. Kal'tsit dug out the rotten flesh, it regenerated quickly. His metabolism accelerated, and his bones also changed... When he wakes up, he will be a very strong person and will no longer need the protection of others."

Chen Huijie's hands trembled even more: "He actually never needed anyone's protection. He has always been a strong person."

"Yes." Tallulah was quiet.

The sky was overcast and dark clouds were gathering. The boss considerately pressed the light switch and the room suddenly became bright.

Under the light, Tallulah whispered, "I used to envy you, Huijie."

"envious?"

"When I was detained in Rhode Island, he came every other week. As long as he was not on a mission, he never stopped." She fell into some kind of memory. "He talked to me about many topics, but most of them involved you. He would report to me about your current situation, what you were saying, and your psychology. He really cared about you."

"……Um."

"He always smiles when he talks about you. Your justice resonates with him."

"……Um."

"You used to be a very happy person."

"..."

She didn't answer "yeah" and couldn't continue the sentence. This was a long-lost reunion of sisters, but the two of them didn't know how to face each other.

In this small shop, Chen Huijie almost revealed all her feelings: "We...almost killed him."

She still remembered the feeling of that hand. She had countless nightmares in the past few days, in which she saw the dead Zhuang Ning smiling gently at her.

Tallulah also had such a nightmare. They are indeed sisters, with a tacit understanding.

I really don't like this kind of silence. They seem to be prisoners of unforgivable crimes.

"I envy you, too, Tallulah." To break the atmosphere, Chen Huijie bit her lip. "He would also talk to me about you, because he felt that it was difficult for you and I to meet, so he took the initiative to act as a bridge."

Tallulah smiled. "What did he say about me?"

"He told me about the newspapers you read recently and your thoughts. He took photos of you and sent them to me. You two were almost always in the same frame in the photos."

Tallulah closed her eyes and whispered softly, "We were all very close to him."

——But now we are drifting further and further away, and can no longer see each other from a distance.

Due to various reasons, cracks appeared, as if the gods in the sky were silently fiddling with the thread of fate.

"I'll go back to the tundra when he wakes up." Tallulah sat up straight and asked, "Huijie, what about you?"

She hesitated and said seriously: "I don't know, but I want to help him."

Her sister nodded: "I want to, too."

They didn't speak, and the only sound in the whole space was the slight chewing sound.

So quiet.

As she ate, Chen Huijie's eyes blurred. She recalled a distant afternoon when the weather was just as gloomy. She remembered a man reaching out to her indignantly: "Chief Chen, come to Rhodes Island!"

He summoned up his courage: "You're going to like it here!"

Tallulah also remembered that a long time ago, the man brought a large pile of information containing various complex papers.

The man sat down next to her, took out a candy and handed it to the girl, and said quietly: "Wrong is wrong."

"But it's not good to waste time. Let's play keyboard politics together. Maybe we can really create a better Terra."

The sound of flipping pages was heard. Tallulah felt more comfortable and happy than she had ever felt in the past ten years.

However, it's all over.

They stood up silently and parted silently. There were no customers in the shop, only the fan was spinning lonely.

Chapter 89 Let’s Leave Together

Zhuang Ning felt as if he was falling. He seemed to have turned into a bird. His body was extremely light. His bones supported his body. He soared in the cursed realm in the dark night, looking at the stars around him.

Flying is freedom. He had watched some cartoons when he was a child. He could not remember the plots very clearly, but he could still remember a very pretentious sentence: flying is the highest state of enjoying freedom.

Yes, what could be more pleasant than flying, he thought, flapping his wings.

Suddenly, he saw himself in the space station. There were huge structures displayed in the celestial body, like the moon... no, even larger than the moon. The curvature and shape took into account both human aesthetics and practicality.

Once upon a time, human beings actually constructed such a heaven-defying structure here. Zhuang Ning was stunned for a moment, and touched his eyelids with his hands. A few tears fell, and he was actually crying.

He knew what it was. Terra had always had two moons. Different countries had different stories about the origin of the moon. Yan Country said it was Xi'e flying to the moon. A little girl couldn't bear to see her husband disappear, so she flew to the sky to find him and turned into a shadow of the moon. Syracuse said it was a wolf mother who was disgusted with her compatriots killing each other, so she flew to the night sky...

But these are the most ridiculous words. The shadow of the moon is the greatest structure. In order to break through the blockade of the sky, the pre-civilized humans used all known resources and means to forge this thing.

He returned to this place inexplicably.

But this is not his home either, this is still a distant foreign land... the floating evil spirit thought, and suddenly his eyes met with a person, who was blinking in a trance.

That is himself.

He suddenly realized that this was all a pipe dream, and only a corner of his memory appeared.

The two Zhuang Nings looked at each other. Zhuang Ning on the space station smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.

The woman's face appeared, and Zhuang Ning's heart suddenly ached. A huge panic almost engulfed him.

Who is this woman? You have clearly never met each other, but it seems that thousands of years ago, you once cuddled together. You may have made some kind of vow, saying that no matter what happened in the future, you would be together...

In the darkness, Zhuang Ning silently uttered the name.

"Puri...Seth."

What an illusory name, Precious, Precious, did he actually forget about her...

"Doc, what are you looking at?"

"Me? I seem to be hallucinating and seeing another me." Zhuang Ning in the space station sighed softly, "You haven't slept well recently?"

"Doc, sometimes you work too hard. Would you like some tea?"

They talked naturally. Zhuang Ning in the space station was particularly relaxed, while Zhuang Ning who was floating covered his head. There were sporadic fragments of memory. He was sitting at the desk, concentrating on drawing a picture.

It turns out that he contributed to the construction of this giant structure. At that time, he was still a rookie who had just traveled through time and knew nothing. It was this woman, whom he had never met before, who took your hand and recommended you to everyone.

It’s a very long time. If the author were to write a single online novel, he would probably have to write millions of words. But memories are only a brief moment after all.

Seeing the two men were about to leave, Zhuang Ning roared in anger: "Don't go!"

He flapped his wings, trying to rush into the giant structure, but he suddenly couldn't fly anymore. His consciousness was falling, falling, and falling...

He opened his eyes.

It was still a dream, but this time I was in a square. There were huge crowds of people. The person in the lead was wearing a black military uniform. The cap badge and epaulettes showed that he was of high rank. At this moment, he spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"Dr. Zhuang Ning, thank you for your contribution to mankind. You deserve this hero medal."

The flag was hung high, and he remembered that this was a medal ceremony. At this time, human beings had no distinction between countries and nations. Disaster was approaching, and human beings finally united together.

But this is just an illusion, because internal strife is inevitable as long as there are conflicts in interests, ideas and culture. Since its birth, human beings have never solved the problem of internal friction.

In his dream, he looked at the medal on his body, and suddenly a surge of anger rose up. Under everyone's dull gaze, he reached out, took off the medal, and threw it hard to the ground!

"Dr. Zhuang Ning, what are you doing...!"

"You have no right to receive an honor for me." He turned away coldly, "I don't belong to any of you either. I came here just to call you idiots."

laboratory.

The slovenly man with pale skin whistled frivolously: "Hey, Lao Zhuang, you are quite impressive this time. Everyone thought you were a traitor, but you actually called the Führer an idiot in front of everyone!"

"Isn't he just an idiot?" Another black woman sneered, "Lao Zhuang's proposals were rejected several times, and now that the results are out, they are all praising them. I can't stand it either."

Zhuang Ning glanced at the huge poster in the laboratory. It was an endless sea with various kinds of fish swimming in the azure water. Next to it was the word "deep blue" written in big Chinese characters.

"Dark Blue, add some more."

No one would understand this joke, but everyone in the lab laughed.

Zhuang Jing looked around quietly. These were all his colleagues. They had once fought together for the future of mankind.

The gate opened to both sides, and before anyone arrived, a voice was heard. A woman walked in with small steps, dressed in white. She was indeed a tall woman, like a ruler.

The woman came up to Zhuang Ning, stood on tiptoe, and bit Zhuang Ning's lips in front of everyone.

They kissed like a couple, and everyone was used to it, looking away. It was nothing strange, anyone with a little common sense knew that the doctor was promoted by Presise, and when the doctor was under great pressure, it was Presise who supported the doctor.

After their lips parted, Precious smiled smugly: "I watched the news, you did a great job. I've wanted to scold the military for a long time. They can't do anything and always hinder you. Now they want to take a piece of the pie from you. Where do they get the nerve to do that?"

"Yeah." His heart calmed down. "How is the Originium project going?"

"Very good. If nothing unexpected happens, we can at least leave a spark of fire behind. Although we don't know if it will take a thousand or ten thousand years, the human race will surely continue."

"Continue?" Zhuang Ning's expression suddenly changed. "But it's not worth it. It's too late!"

"Doctor? Did you have another nightmare?" Precious was stunned for a moment, then smiled and hugged Zhuang Ning, "Then tell me, I will listen to everything, and we will never separate."

They leaned against each other, interlaced their fingers, and felt the warmth in their palms: "Even if everything is over, even if I die, I will find you."

"At that time, I will leave with you, and we will go to the promised land you mentioned, to your home."

Chapter 90 It turns out that there are still people waiting for you

Zhuang Ning didn't know why he had such a dream. Not long ago, he had lost the slightest sense of belonging to the land called Terra. He felt that his heart was as hard as stone, and stone was the most indestructible thing in the world. Even if he had a dream due to a serious injury, he should be dreaming about his great achievements of unifying Terra, defeating the evil demons in the north, conquering the sea in the south, and expanding the territory and expelling the barbarians, right?

But his memories kept pouring out uncontrollably. They were all fragments of auspicious moments, almost all of which were related to a woman.
