How to Feed an Abyss! - Chapter 90
Lu Tinghan said: “Shi Yuan, look at your feet, there is a small trash can over there. I want to throw the paper ball into it.”
He just threw it away, and the ball of paper flew to the trash can with precision.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yuan just opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it hit Shi Yuan’s head so coincidentally.
Shi Yuan stared fixedly at the ball of paper, opened his eyes wide, as if he didn’t hear it.
Lu Tinghan explained again: “Really, the trash can is at your feet.” He even stammered, “I…I…you wait for me to come over, I’ll throw the trash in.”
He got up and walked quickly towards Shi Yuan, his footsteps unprecedentedly tense. He wanted to take the ball of paper away from Shi Yuan’s hand, but Shi Yuan turned around, turned his back to him, and refused to let him take it.
Lu Tinghan said behind him: “Shi Yuan…”
Then, he watched helplessly as Shi Yuan’s tail scales exploded little by little.
The tip of the tail moved excitedly, and the scales made a metallic rubbing sound. Lu Tinghan felt that Shi Yuan spent his whole life cultivating and loving him to not let this tail hit his head.
“It’s too lacking in quality…” Shi Yuan murmured, “It’s really too lacking in quality, it’s too much.” He turned his head and stared at Lu Tinghan, “Lu Tinghan, you took the initiative to clean up the garbage and helped the family. Take out the trash, I thought you had improved, but I never thought you’d never changed!”
For the first time in his life, General Lu experienced what it means to be indisputable.
Shi Yuan threw the waste paper into the trash can and announced the conclusion: “I’m angry.”
It is decisive and final.
This was the first time Shi Yuan got angry with Lu Tinghan when he came to the city.
He was angry before because of other people’s impoliteness, such as broken copper and rotten iron, rotten fish and rotten shrimp, and rags… This time is different, first of all, this is Lu Tinghan, and second, Lu Tinghan’s old habits are hard to change, and his nature is hard to change , Once he has no quality, he will never have quality, and he even got worse and directly threw **** on his head.
Shi Yuan didn’t dare to think about what Lu Tinghan would do next.
The more Shi Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became.
At the end of the day, his tail was blown apart.
Everyone else noticed.
When Shi Yuan was in the room, Adjutant Ning quietly asked Lu Tinghan: “General, what’s wrong with him? Is he feeling unwell?”
These people all knew Shi Yuan’s identity and his relationship with the land general.
The aircraft is in autopilot mode. To be on the safe side, at least one person will be left in the cab. At this time, the engineer was in the cab, and the doctor Chi Yongge was drinking water. Hearing this, he quietly pricked up his ears to listen.
Lu Tinghan leaned against the wall and was silent for two seconds: “It’s kind of psychologically uncomfortable.”
Adjutant Ning has been with Lu Tinghan for many years and is very close to him, so he tentatively asked: “What happened? Didn’t we just set off now?”
When Shi Yuan got on the aircraft, he was still sticking to Lu Tinghan’s side happily. In just half an hour, the two became like this, and Adjutant Ning really couldn’t figure it out.
Lu Tinghan looked up at the white ceiling.
With a solemn expression, he said slowly: “Everyone participates, every family benefits, the garbage does not fall to the ground, the city is more beautiful, don’t leave anything but footprints.”
Adjutant Ning:? ? ?
Adjutant Ning: “Huh?”
Lu Tinghan went back to the room without changing his expression.
Chi Yongge had been pretending to be indifferent, but now she turned her head suddenly: “Brother Ning, what does the general mean?”
“I don’t know.” Adjutant Ning looked confused, “What rubbish, where do we have rubbish?”
——Obviously, the end of the world hinders the inheritance of knowledge, and neither of them has heard of the “slogan of throwing away garbage and civilization”.
“Could it be a metaphor?” Chi Yongge pondered, “Let me think about it… For example, ‘garbage’ refers to ‘monster’.”
“Oh!” Adjutant Ning suddenly realized, “So what the general is saying is to call on everyone to participate in the conscription, to prevent monsters from landing in the city, and then let us soldiers leave only our own footprints without using a needle or thread!”
Chi Yongge clapped his hands and said, “That’s what it means! It must be!”
“As expected of an admiral, he worries about the city all the time.” Adjutant Ning touched his chin
, the newly grown cyan stubble is a bit thorny, “This slogan is quite interesting, especially the phrase ‘the city is more beautiful if the garbage does not fall to the ground’. When I return to the city, I will find a calligrapher to write a picture and frame it at home. “
“I want it too.” Chi Yongge deeply agreed, “Just hang it in the study, above my head, for everyone to see!”
Lu Tinghan didn’t know what kind of brainstorm the two subordinates had gone through.
When he returned to the room, Shi Yuan was sitting at the table, filling out Sudoku with a pencil—his scales were still cracked, and the tip of his tail was wagging uncomfortably.
Lu Tinghan sat by the bed and told Shi Yuan: “I’ve already written down those slogans.”
Shi Yuan: “Oh.” He continued to study Sudoku without raising his head.
Lu Tinghan watched Shi Yuan think hard, and filled in two more numbers. He asked, “Do you want to take a break and touch your head?”
Shi Yuan’s pencil froze.
Even though everyone can see that Shi Yuan is fighting with man, he still said after struggling for half a minute: “No, I don’t want to touch my head.”
Lu Tinghan counted silently in his heart: one, two, three…
In the third second, Shi Yuan said: “Okay, you can touch it for a while.” He emphasized, “It’s really just a short while!”
Lu Tinghan patted his head.
Shi Yuan: “Huluhuhuhuhu.” The scales immediately smoothed down a little.
Lu Tinghan struck while the iron was hot: “Shi Yuan, Dr. Chi will make white radish soup tonight—it’s not canned, it’s fresh radish.”
“Really?” Shi Yuan was a little surprised, “Where did the radish come from?”
“The food distribution office has prepared a lot for us. In addition to canned and compressed food, there are also fruits, vegetables and meat. They are all frozen in the freezer of the aircraft, enough to eat for a long time.”
The smooth black hair slipped through Lu Tinghan’s fingers, and he continued: “We are the expeditionary force that everyone is looking forward to, and the main city has given us the best things, including inhibitors, odor masking agents, firearms and various instruments .We don’t know how the Empire’s technology has developed, it’s best if these things can be used by them.”
“So that’s it! Huluhuluhulu.” Shi Yuan squinted his eyes half-comfortably, and his tail completely calmed down. “I hope that the empire is also good people.”
“I have never been in contact with the empire, but if they exist, I believe we can fight side by side.” Lu Tinghan said.
In the midst of happiness, Shi Yuan noticed Lu Tinghan’s words. He asked: “Do you think that the empire may be gone?”
Lu Tinghan: “Professor Luo said that the empire joined the communication channel on its own initiative. Even so, we have never actually talked to them, so we must prepare for the worst.”
“What if they really are gone?”
“We’ll find the underground city by ourselves.” Lu Tinghan said, “It will cost countless times more energy, and the time is limited. We alone can’t guarantee that the city is really safe and suitable.” He took advantage of the situation Shi Yuan rubbed his face, “There is only one year left in the main city, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, I have to try.”
No matter what the result is, they must hand over an answer sheet of fate.
“Okay,” Shi Yuan said, “I hope everything is fine in the empire.”
His tail dropped to his feet.
Lu Tinghan glanced at it, and felt that the time was ripe.
He said: “Shi Yuan, there is one more thing, throwing out the trash was really an accident, I…”
Shi Yuan’s tail exploded again!
“I’m still angry!” he said.
Lu Tinghan: “…”
He felt that he shouldn’t bring it up again.
In the evening, Shi Yuan finished the radish soup made by Chi Yongge with a frown.
Lu Tinghan’s injury didn’t heal completely and it didn’t affect his actions, but he still had to pay attention to his diet. The taste of white radish is sweet, just add a little salt and chopped green onion, it is already so fresh that people can swallow their tongues, and it suits him too.
Lieutenant Ning crossed his legs, holding a bowl and said, “Doctor Xiaochi’s skills are really good! I’m sure he will be able to open a shop in the future.”
Chi Yongge smiled embarrassedly: “Where is that? I learned it from my grandma. Her soup is the best in the world. I didn’t learn the essence.”
Engineer Douglas also praised: “You are too
Humble enough, this soup is so good! “
Shi Yuan also said: “It’s really delicious.”
While talking, Lu Tinghan put a very large radish into his bowl.
“Really!” Chi Yongge rubbed his hands, grinning from ear to ear, “Unfortunately, there is only one induction cooker that can be used here, otherwise I can make a lot of things.”
It was late at night, according to the shift schedule, Douglas was in charge of driving in the first half of the night, and Chi Yongge was in charge of the second half of the night.
Shi Yuan changed into pajamas – his scales almost tore his clothes.
He was still angry, and he didn’t really want to talk to Lu Tinghan, so he sat at the table and prepared to fill in a few more Sudokus.
While filling it out, he found that Lu Tinghan was very quiet.
Lu Tinghan was covered with a quilt and lay facing the wall. Usually he would read a book before going to bed, unlike today.
Shi Yuan immediately became worried: “Lu Tinghan, are you asleep?”
“…” Lu Tinghan whispered, “Not yet.”
The tone was not right, Shi Yuan said, “Is the wound hurting? I, should I get you medicine, or seek Dr. Chi?”
Lu Tinghan said: “…”
“What? I can’t hear you clearly.” Shi Yuan walked over to the bed, “What did you say?”
Lu Tinghan: “…”
Shi Yuan was a little anxious, he leaned down and leaned forward: “What?”
In this instant the world is spinning!
Shi Yuan:? ? ? ? !
He was hugged by the waist and dragged onto the bed. Lu Tinghan’s movements were too fast, he turned over and covered Shi Yuan under the quilt, and brought him to the inner side of the bed, into his arms.
The two were close together, intimate. Shi Yuan flopped and flopped under the quilt for a long time before poking his head out.
He was attacked suddenly, his hair was messed up, and he looked at Lu Tinghan in a daze. Before he could say anything, he was held down by the waist, pressed and kissed in a mess, making a vague and sticky sound.
After the kiss was over, Lu Tinghan stroked Shi Yuan’s temples and said in a low voice, “Are you still angry?”
Shi Yuan: “…” he whispered, “You just lied to me.”
Lu Tinghan touched his head, and then kissed him on the forehead: “Are you still angry?”
Shi Yuan: “Huluhuhuhuhulu—”
He beamed.
So coaxed.
After turning off the lights, they embraced each other. The accommodation conditions are limited, the bed is a bit hard and the bed is a bit narrow, but the quilt is soft, fluffy and warm, just enough for two people to squeeze together.
Shi Yuan said: “We must never do this again in the future.”
Lu Tinghan: “Yes.”
“Say the slogan again.”
On land, good things will follow: “Everyone participates, every family benefits, and the city is more beautiful if the garbage does not fall to the ground. Don’t leave anything but footprints.”
Shi Yuan was satisfied.
Although Lu Tinghan once again lost his qualities, lost his morals, and even lied to him a little…but a magnanimous abyss forgave him again.
On the third day of the journey, they arrived at Yeran City.
Yeran City is famous for its fabrics and dyeing. 30 years ago, it fell under the attack of the special infected creature “Machete”.
The aircraft landed outside the city, put down the off-road vehicle, took off again, hovered in the air and entered sleep mode.
The other three stayed behind on the aircraft, while Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan took a car to the Beicheng District of Yeran City.
There is a warehouse near the city wall, which is very tall and complete, and the open air on the top floor is suitable for placing signal transmitters.
They parked the car outside the warehouse.
The elevator has been out of use for a long time, but fortunately they have a small moving robot. Shi Yuan scared away the monsters, and the robot carried a person-high box filled with transmitters, and went with them to the highest floor of the warehouse.
The makeshift launcher is pitch black and uniquely shaped.
It uses energy cores—that is, the batch transported from Fengyang City, and it is also equipped with solar panels, the energy is enough for it to run for more than two years.
The robot was in charge of assembly, and Lu Tinghan slowly adjusted and calibrated it. The process was very long, Shi Yuan squatted beside Lu Tinghan and watched for a while, what?
I didn’t understand it either, so I went for a stroll in a nearby warehouse.
The warehouse is full of cloth and clothes, mostly in turquoise.
Shi Yuan has never seen this blue-green, it is the iconic color of Yeran City, fresh and beautiful, natural and elegant. Even if it is dusty, it will not change the beauty of the past.
Shi Yuan plunged into the Silk District.
The soft silk wraps around him, which feels wonderful to the touch. He ran wildly for a while, with several pieces of silk hanging from his head and tail, and went back to Lu Tinghan: “Look at me!”
Lu Tinghan was checking the angle of the launcher, when he looked up, he saw Shi Yuan covered with silk and satin.
In the distance are abandoned cities and ruined walls, but the sky is so blue. The wind blew, the blue-green sparkled in the sun, and the boy’s eyes were bright.
Lu Tinghan and Shi Yuan told a story.
He said: “This blue-green color is called ‘Yo Hall’, which means ‘antler’ in the local dialect.”
He continued: “It is said that this color was discovered by a hunter. He got up early to hunt that day, and there was a thick fog in the forest. He lost his way and only heard the sound of deer’s hooves. He followed the sound for a long time. The fog It finally dispersed. He saw a clear stream, and a gray-blue sika deer was standing by the water, looking at him.”
“Gray-blue sika deer?” Shi Yuan vaguely remembered that deer shouldn’t have this color, “Is it infected?”
Lu Tinghan explained: “No, that was a long time ago, and the abyss hadn’t appeared yet. Maybe the hunter misread it, or maybe it was a fictional part… Anyway, the hunter realized that the sika deer wanted to guide him out of the forest. He was impressed by the thin moss on the antlers.”
“The moss is emerald green, and because it is too thin, it reveals the gray-blue color of the antlers. It forms a unique color when it is illuminated by the light.”
“Oh!” Shi Yuan understood, “It’s this blue-green color!”
“Yes.” Lu Tinghan said, “The hunter followed the sika deer out of the forest, and when he returned home, he swore never to hunt again. He found the best dye master in the area and tried for nearly 10 years before he could get that color. And named ‘Yo Hall.’”
“The amazing thing is, according to the hunter’s wife, the hunter didn’t go out that day at all, and got very drunk at home. Besides, where are the gray-blue deer in this world? This must be a dream.”
“But no matter what, this unique color has been handed down, and people in the alliance believe that it will bring good luck. Once upon a time, merchants gathered here, and every dyeing workshop was surrounded by water, just to grab the best-looking piece of cloth. Then At that time, the whole street was floating in blue and green.”
Shi Yuan asked, “Will it really bring good luck?”
There was another gust of wind, and the silk and satin flew around him.
Lu Tinghan smiled: “I hope it will.” He paused, “I’m very happy, I thought I would never see this color again.”
They will also go to other cities.
It’s like picking up memories from the past little by little.
The signal transmitter is installed.
Before leaving, they sprayed the launcher with masking agent and took another piece of silk with them.
Back on the flyer, the trio scrambled to admiring “Yo Hall” and raved about the color.
“We should also show it to the empire.” Adjutant Ning said, “They will also like such a beautiful color.”
And the transmitter started to work, covering a huge area, and their communication with the main city became more stable.
Among other things, the craft heard the “echo” channel.
Today happened to be the day when the Empire called regularly, and the Empire correspondent 0293 was still calling. Everyone was familiar with his voice, but he couldn’t answer.
“Broadcasting coordinates: 588911, -12072… Crash… Any survivors can go to this coordinate, the empire is with you! I am correspondent 0293… Crash…”
The league kept calling, to no avail.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after the transmitter was turned on, the signal became more stable this time, and there wasn’t so much noise.
After the alliance ended the call, Professor Luo contacted the people on the aircraft: “Call d3-201! Call d3-201!”
Lu Tinghan said: “D3-201 received. This is Lu Tinghan, please tell me.”
“Can try to get from you
call? “Professor Luo said, “Try it.” “
So Lu Tinghan switched on the channel and heard 0293’s voice. There was a piece of satin hanging on Shi Yuan’s devil horn, and he lay on the console, staring with his eyes wide open.
Lu Tinghan said: “Call the empire, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it.”
Called several times with no result.
Shi Yuan couldn’t help thinking, what kind of feeling does this have for 0293? He is lonely, he is always the only one trying. Obviously found a new channel but no one answered, insisted on calling once every half a month, broadcasting his coordinates to the dark ocean over and over again, hoping for a sudden visit by survivors one day.
Communicator 0293 said, “Call 25 is coming to an end, coordinates have been broadcast. Repeat: Call 25 is coming to an end – this is the Empire.”
Knowing that the other party could not hear, Lu Tinghan still said: “This is the alliance.” He paused, “We are here.”
After reading history books so many times, I still can’t imagine the glory of you and me.
Traveling through the wasteland and ruins, wearing the sun, moon and stars, maybe there will be a day when we will meet again.
