How to Feed an Abyss! - Chapter 76
Shi Yuan finally secretly checked that Professor Guan had finished eating the last box of black bean cakes.
He didn’t eat it all by himself, he even took two pieces home to feed his humans. His humans were satisfied, and they had a good time in bed that night.
And Professor Guan was heartbroken: “Sure enough, the abyss is the top predator.”
Shi Yuan looked at him and asked, “Is there any more?”
“It’s gone! Don’t think I don’t know, the land general is also sharing the spoils with you!”
Shi Yuan looked at him with wide eyes, his tail wagging slightly: “Is it really gone?”
Professor Guan: “…”
“Professor Guan, you have always been the smartest professor I have ever met.”
– Shi Yuan is telling the truth, he only knows such a professor.
Professor Guan stood there, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: “…cough cough, cough cough, alas, you are really kidding, to be honest…cough cough cough, there is actually another box in the left drawer.”
From the left drawer, Shi Yuan dug out Professor Guan’s well-hidden green bean pancakes.
While eating green bean cakes, he watched Professor Guan sitting beside him, with countless curves and data on the computer.
Professor Guan sighed: “It would be great if your infection wavelength wasn’t so complicated. The power to change time is beyond the reach of alliance technology. Shiyuan, can you think of a way to make it weaker? Become an ordinary Ordinary abyss?”
“Probably not.” Shi Yuan continued to eat green bean cakes.
“You can become a human being, so why can’t you become more ordinary?” Professor Guan said, “If you become more ordinary, I will also give you the kidney bean cakes I have collected.”
Shi Yuan silently remembered the kidney bean cake, and then told him: “It’s really impossible. But it’s very simple to become a human. As long as I’m sad enough, I can be sad enough to transform.”
Professor Guan: “…”
No matter how you think about it, it’s incredible!
Professor Guan went to have a meeting with the researcher. Shi Yuan ate half a box of green bean cakes, and took three more yuan to give to Lu Tinghan.
Before leaving get off work, Professor Guan suddenly said: “By the way, the scientific research center has been cleaning out the warehouse these days and found an astronomical telescope. Do you need it?”
“Okay.” Shi Yuan was a little surprised.
He has been using the telescope that Wu Zhengqing left behind to look at the universe when the weather is good. After all, the telescope is old and not easy to use.
They went to the warehouse, and Shi Yuan took away the telescope sealed in the foam box.
Leaning against the wall, Professor Kwan said, “However, it cannot see the other infected planets. They are in another star system, far away.”
“I know.” Shi Yuan said, “There is someone who taught me a lot about astronomy.”
Professor Guan hesitated to speak: “…Although I have asked many times, do you really not remember where the abyss came from? How did you get here?”
“I don’t remember.” Shi Yuan replied, “I may not have self-awareness at that time, or I have been sleeping and don’t remember anything.”
No matter how he recalled, he could only think of darkness.
“Okay.” Professor Guan still sighed, his white hair trembling in the wind, “It’s a pity. If one day, I can know how the abyss travels in the universe, I will die without regret.” He smiled, “The universe is too grand, human beings are too small, and there are so many things we haven’t understood.”
Shi Yuan went home with the astronomical telescope.
That night, the night sky was clear, and he and Lu Tinghan watched the stars together on the balcony.
They have seen the stars together many times. Shi Yuan told Lu Tinghan: “I got a better telescope today, so I must be able to see clearly.”
He adjusted the focus and aimed at the planet. This telescope has an auto-focus function, which is very convenient. If Wu Zhengqing was around, he would definitely like it. He saw the clearly visible Milky Way in the camera, and quickly greeted Lu Tinghan: “Come and see!”
So Lu Tinghan leaned over and touched his head, and also saw the splendor of the Milky Way.
Shi Yuan said, “I’m still waiting for the meteor.”
Lu Tinghan said: “This kind of thing is rare, and I only saw one when I was a child, and I happened to be on the energy tower at that time.”
“looks good?”
“It’s too far away, I can’t see clearly, I can only see a track very vaguely.”
“Well, maybe one day we can see it together.” Shi Yuan said again, “And I haven’t been able to find Mr. Wu’s spaceship yet. Tell me, will he pass through the sky above our heads?”
Lu Tinghan: “Maybe.”
“I hope he has found the space center.” Shi Yuan continued to look through the telescope and saw a reddish gaseous star, “And those spaceships he likes. He can drive the spaceship to the planet he likes.”
Lu Tinghan touched Shi Yuan’s head.
When they were lying in bed at night, Lu Tinghan suddenly said, “There is an observatory over the main city, and the starry sky is the most beautiful from there.”
“Wow!”
“If there is a chance, let’s go and have a look.” Lu Tinghan said, “I haven’t been there much either.”
Shi Yuan happily agreed.
Another week later, he and Lu Tinghan went to the outpost together.
Ever since he knew his identity, Lu Tinghan took him to the front line from time to time. Shi Yuan spent most of his time doing nothing, playing with his tail in the rest room, occasionally carefully observing other fighters, and carrying out a routine human observation plan.
Professor Guan originally thought that Shi Yuan might be able to scare away a few waves of monsters, but in fact he can’t do much.
Monsters are attracted by human flesh and blood. There are many fighters in the outposts, which are quite attractive to them. In addition, during the peak period, their restlessness is dozens of times higher. Once they go crazy, they don’t know how to be afraid.
Occasionally he will raise his tail to scare some monsters away, but the area that Rattlesnake can protect is very limited.
Shi Yuan can kill them directly, but killing them means infection, and human beings are finished. In the words of Professor Guan: “As long as you don’t do anything, Shi Yuan, you will be the greatest help to human beings, really.”
Overall, Shi Yuan is a mascot at the Outpost.
A mascot also has the benefits of a mascot, he can be by Lu Tinghan’s side, and he can also drink the potato broth from the outpost.
The broth smells good, and after boiling it fills the room with fragrance, Lu Tinghan often smells this fragrance on Shi Yuan’s clothes—when he throws himself warmly into his arms.
No one dared to gossip about his relationship with Lu Tinghan face to face, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a standard “Madam General”.
Why is Lu Lu going to bring his family members to the front line? This problem troubled everyone, but they quickly got used to Shi Yuan’s existence, and secretly lamented that he was so courageous that he didn’t change his face when he saw the infection wave.
A beauty with a hero is pleasing to the eye.
No one knows, but the pretty, soft and harmless “Mrs. General” is more likely to be on vacation. He is the scariest monster on the wasteland.
And the fewer the number, the less attractive it is to monsters.
When other abysses are quiet, the Diamondtail Abyss still has the deterrent power to protect one or two people.
So, without the drama of a hero saving the beauty, the “general’s wife” secretly took the general for a walk in the wilderness.
Lu Tinghan claimed to be in his favor, and the two drove to the depths of the wasteland several times. Lu Tinghan listened to the roar of the monster in the wind, smelled the smell of soil, tree roots and blood, and guessed the monster’s movements.
Once they stayed until late at night, the wasteland whimpered, and the woods were full of moving ghosts.
Shi Yuan blew the wind all the way, even sneezed a few times, the tip of his nose turned red. They lit a fire next to the car and took a small iron pot to boil hot water for drinking.
The water was bubbling and bubbling, Lu Tinghan added tea, and the faint tea fragrance permeated the air. He filled two cups of tea and handed Shi Yuan one.
“It’s so warm—” Shi Yuan put on Lu Tinghan’s coat, held hot water in both hands, and sipped.
“If the wind blows for a while, you should catch a cold.” Lu Tinghan said.
Shi Yuan asked, “Does Shen Yuan catch a cold?”
Lu Tinghan thought for a while: “I don’t know, but we’d better not know as much as possible.”
While talking, a bright yellow eye appeared in Gao Linzhong.
I don’t know what kind of creature it is, its vertical pupils are extremely bright, like a huge lantern, and one eye is as tall as a tree. It silently looked at the two people by the campfire, and after a while, it quietly closed its eyes and merged into the darkness.
it’s gone.
Then came the blue owl, the translucent red snake, a few bright gold finches, and the undergrowth writhing its roots. There was a small banquet in the forest at night. When Shi Yuan was looking for the city, he had seen such a scene countless times, but this time Lu Tinghan was by his side.
Halfway through the tea, there was a sudden rustling sound in the bushes.
Lu Tinghan held a gun, Shi Yuan held his tail high, and the two of them leaned over to look together.
Pushing aside the bushes, underneath was a white kitten that was dying. The kitten had many tails, its teeth were made of rocks, and it meowed weakly. Its abdomen was pierced by several fangs, but no blood flowed out, and it was unknown what its blood mutated into.
Shi Yuan picked up the kitten and went to the campfire.
“It’s going to die,” he said.
Lu Tinghan: “Yes.”
Shi Yuan stroked the cat’s soft fur and thought of Tracy, the girl who used to jump up and down backstage, with cat-like cunning in her eyes, clamoring to see Ms. Isabella.
He suddenly asked Lu Tinghan: “Now, what is it thinking about?”
Shi Yuan never understood what the monsters were thinking.
He doesn’t know how to read words, even monsters.
Looking at the city and the wasteland, only Lu Tinghan is special, only he can read the thoughts of monster riots, only he can find a lonely abyss.
Lu Tinghan looked at the white cat silently.
It has green eyes that gradually lose their light and become cloudy. If it bumped into a human while it was alive and well, it would probably attack with fury, but it was about to die, so it could only look at Lu Tinghan calmly.
After a long time, Lu Tinghan said: “…it is homesick.”
Long ago at the outpost, Lieutenant Bing Siyun asked him the same question when he was dissecting the queen ant.
Lu Tinghan also replied, “It’s homesick.”
This is no accident. He has come into contact with countless monsters, many of them are dying, and some of them are homesick from time to time.
He knew what they were thinking, but he rarely said this unbelievable remark.
He didn’t understand what it meant at the beginning, and he didn’t understand what homeland was for monsters, until through the “Looking” project, they knew that the abyss came from beyond the stars: maybe in the depths of the starlight, there was their original homeland.
The flame silently licked the night, scorching a hole in the darkness.
The kitten slowly closed its eyes.
It was time to return, and the two returned to the car. The wind in the wasteland is howling, bending a piece of dark yellow withered grass, Shi Yuan watched the scenery passing by outside the window, his breath covered the window with a layer of water vapor, he reached out to touch it, and the world was cold through the glass.
In the sound of the wind, Lu Tinghan asked in a low voice: “Shi Yuan, where are you from?”
“I don’t know.” Shi Yuan replied, “Maybe it’s far, far away, farther than the wasteland and the city.”
Lu Tinghan: “Yes, it may be many light years away, at the end of the universe…or another universe, another dimension.”
“Well. I don’t remember the way back.”
Lu Tinghan said, “At least now you know where home is.”
The off-road vehicle drove through the vast wasteland, turned into a black spot, and disappeared at the end of the world.
At the end of the world is the city, the dim light, and their home.
In June of 243, Shi Yuan met Lin Yeran.
After Lin Yeran returned to the data center, he resumed his big data analysis and has been very busy.
They met by chance at the station, and Shi Yuan greeted him: “Hello, Mr. Lin.”
Lin Yeran looked at him and said, “I’m not well, I’m about to die suddenly, that idiot team member doesn’t deserve a penny of bonus.”
In the next 10 minutes, Shi Yuan listened to Lin Yelian share how many times he caught his subordinates arriving late and leaving early, fishing for work, and how many bonuses he had deducted this year.
The tram was coming, Shi Yuan finally asked him: “Mr. Lin, have you found the message left by Colonel Yan?”
“No.” Lin Yeran said, “If the data is gone, it is gone. Didn’t I say that if there is no miracle, I can’t find it.”
“All right.”
“He’s very old-fashioned. I taught him to send holographic text messages.” Lin Yeran said, “It’s not related to study and research at first sight.”
When the tram arrived at the station, it was full of people, and Lin Yeran squeezed onto it.
At the beginning of July, Shi Yuan found the kidney bean cakes that Professor Guan had kept privately.
Professor Guan hid it so well that he even forgot about it. The kidney bean cake was expired for a month, but Shi Yuan felt that it hadn’t expired, so it was not expired, the so-called spiritual victory method.
He tasted a few mouthfuls, but the taste was still as good as ever, so he thought about bringing a few pieces for Lu Tinghan to taste.
I don’t know if the land that loves garbage will not like expired food.
When it was time to get off work, he came home with half a box of kidney bean pancakes.
There are fewer trams recently, so Lu Tinghan sent someone to pick him up directly.
The driver drove him home.
Three huge shadows hang over the city. Shi Yuan looked up and saw the familiar large transport ship.
Once, the transport ship took the residents of Gleaming City to retreat.
Now they appear in Fengyang City.
Shi Yuan asked, “Why is the transport ship here?”
The driver was silent for a while, and replied: “They should be here to transport the energy facilities—you know, there are many such machines in the energy tower, as well as the energy core.”
Shi Yuan had heard of these words.
Relying on these top-notch and sophisticated technologies, Fengyang City has become the energy hub of the alliance.
The driver continued: “There are no factories that can mass-produce these instruments. If they are destroyed, the energy system will be completely over.”
“What do you mean?” Shi Yuan asked, “Is Fengyang City not safe?”
Driver: “That’s right, otherwise why did you take them away?” He added, “It’s thanks to the land general that we were able to defend for so long. According to the past peak period, Fengyang City should have fallen long ago.”
Shi Yuan returned home and ran to the balcony to watch.
The transport ship was too big, covering the sky and the sun, and every movement was loud and powerful. From such a distance, he could see a group of people busy up and down the energy tower, carrying some huge and unfamiliar instruments. He heard from the driver that in the first wave of evacuation, in addition to the residents, it was also necessary to ensure that the most core machines were taken to the main city.
Fengyang City has a large population, and with the need to move equipment, the task is very heavy.
There is a tense atmosphere in the streets and alleys – the last time Gleaner City was evacuated like this, the city fell shortly after. Lu Tinghan’s judgment was not wrong, and the result may be the same this time.
The league is about to lose another city.
In the evening, Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan went to the city wall.
This time, there were more than a dozen residents on the city wall. Under the guidance of the soldiers, men, women and children quietly went to the edge of the city wall and hung up lantern-like lights.
On the edge of the iron city, jellyfish float and forest deer wander.
People looked at Iron City silently.
As usual, jellyfish are not attracted by light, swimming in the sea of night sky.
Unlike before, they did not wait in silence. I don’t know who was the first to shout: “Hello—”
“Hey—come back quickly, we’re leaving—”
He was soon joined by others, clasping their hands to their mouths and shouting, “Come back—we’re still waiting for you—”
“go home-“
With a sound of calling, all of them were swallowed up by the wasteland.
They disappear without a trace.
Behind them, the huge transport ship slowly rose and flew towards the main city. The first more exciting novel 3w. bookben. 0-r-pigeon must be added to favorites.
