Xiaoting didn't speak, she already had the answer in her heart.
"She died in my arms. She said: It is a small matter of life and death, as long as you are here."
Xiaoting was silent, not knowing what to say and feeling very uncomfortable.
"Eleven months have passed and I am stronger. However, what is gone will never come back. You attracted me at the first sight of you. You are just like her. I like you, but I know that I can't get close. You, that will kill you, I hope we will never meet again after walking out of here." Chu Xiang's low tone slowly became calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing that had nothing to do with him.
The ward fell into silence, silent silence, and there seemed to be something sad in the air.
For a long time, Xiaoting tried her best to maintain a calm tone and said: "You were not like this just now." Her voice was trembling.
Living in the base all year round, with so many people coming and going, she was also very lonely. She had just discovered something wonderful and wanted to get closer. Who knew that the heart she had just felt was cut off by the other party abruptly? She didn't want to She was struggling to give up. She admitted her heart, unwilling to let go and wanting to stay.
"People will always change, but I change faster." Chu Xiangdao said that when he said this, he felt that his heart was being torn apart, but he had to let go. He had just made up his mind to this decision. What Mr. Zhong just said made him understand that he would never be a person who would live a mediocre life. He wanted to be a phoenix, break free from the shackles of the eggshell, and soar into the nine heavens. This road would be full of blood. road.
"I understand." The trembling voice became calmer, and the light between her brows and eyes fell silent. She returned to the world she once had, no longer longing for the colorful world outside.
"Take care." Chu Xiang's tone fluctuated a bit, and he wanted to reach out and pull his delicate hand, but in the end he didn't.
Xiaoting left the ward and went to the room separated by glass outside.
Chu Xiang's injury healed quickly. He stayed in bed for seventeen days and received six days of follow-up treatment. Xiaoting did not say a word to Chu Xiang for the next eight days. This was probably the most decisive decision. Chu Xiang was very pleased. This was the most decisive decision. good result.
After the last examination, the attending doctor and Mr. Zhong signed a recovery opinion.
"Let's go, go quickly, I look upset." Mr. Zhong urged impatiently, which was very different from his usual attitude.
Chu Xiang didn't dare to say anything. After what he said to Xiaoting, everyone in the hospital seemed to hate him. Mr. Zhong didn't have a good face several times, which puzzled him.
Xiaoting didn't know where she went. Chu Xiang wanted to take a look but was afraid of not letting go, so he had to give up the idea. As soon as he walked out of the hospital area, he saw Song Ming.
"Okay?" Song Ming said.
"Okay." Chu Xiang hadn't seen Song Ming for a long time and didn't know why he appeared here.
After saying two words, Song Ming left.
Chu Xiang was a little puzzled. Could it be that Song Ming came to say hello and chased after him, asking, "What happened next?"
"Wait for the order from above." Song Ming said calmly, his tone was a little different from usual. Although he was as calm as before, he seemed to be angry.
Another strange person. Chu Xiang suddenly didn't know what to say. He followed Song Ming for a while and then remembered that his knife was destroyed and asked, "My knife is gone. Is there a spare one in the base?"
"Go to room 7098." Song Ming said, ignoring Chu Xiang and walking away.
Chu Xiang suddenly sighed. After recovering from his injuries, everyone seemed to have changed.
Chu Xiang asked a soldier at the base. Room 7098 was on the other side of the base. The soldier called a small electric car to pull Chu Xiang there.
The size of the base was beyond Chu Xiang's expectation. The small truck drove in the bright and spacious corridor with no end for a full twenty minutes before arriving at Room 7098. There is a door big enough for a tank to drive in and out. There is a number 7098 hanging on the door. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.
There was a fingerprint entry device next to the door. Chu Xiang pressed his thumb on it. The door opened and a voice sounded: Please come in. The electronically synthesized voice is bland and tasteless, without even the ups and downs of the tone.
After entering the gate, Chu Xiang discovered that what kind of room was this? It was simply a factory, a huge metal processing plant. Rows of machines were neatly arranged. There were various crane cantilever guides overhead. The only place on the right side of the door was There is a glass office with several people inside. This is obviously a highly automated production line.
Several people in the office were discussing something. Some machines were running and the noise was so loud that it was difficult to hear what was being said. Chu Xiang knocked on the door, and a man turned his head and looked at it, saying: "Please come in."
Chu Xiang entered the office and closed the door. No noise from outside could be heard at all. The sound insulation effect was surprisingly good. The three people were discussing something and ignored Chu Xiang. They stood aside. After they finished speaking, Chu Xiang said, "Hello."
A young man wearing glasses turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" The man's face was very pale, and his nose was slightly deformed due to the pressure of his thick glasses.
"My knife is broken, let me make a knife." Chu Xiang said.
"What kind of knife?"
"Tang Dao." Chu Xiang said.
The man with glasses looked Chu Xiang up and down and said, "Wait a moment."
The man wearing thick glasses started operating on the computer. After a while, he turned to Chu Xiang and said, "Take a look? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"
In just a short while, the man wearing thick glasses drew a structural diagram on the drawing software, with various data clearly marked next to it.
After looking at the data above, Chu Xiang nodded with satisfaction. The man wearing thick glasses designed the most suitable Tang Dao shape for Chu Xiang based on Chu Xiang's height and arm length.
"It's just a little lighter in weight, can it be more focused?" Chu Xiang said.
"How heavy is it?"
"Twenty-three pounds."
Hearing Chu Xiang's words, another older, slender man next to him raised his head and said, "It's a bit difficult."
"With such a heavy one-handed weapon?" Another short, fat young man raised his head and asked.
"He has level four authority." The man with thick glasses said.
The older, slender man glanced at Chu Xiang and said, "Then use tungsten-titanium alloy."
From their conversation, it seems that the level of authority here determines the material of the weapons that can be obtained.
"Sit down first, you have to wait for a while." The man with thick glasses said to Chu Xiang, and operated on the computer for a while. The older, slender man and the short and fat man looked at it and put forward some opinions. The final result The picture appears on the computer.
"Okay, that's it." The lanky man said.
After making the final rendering, the three of them ignored Chu Xiang and huddled together to study something else.
Chu Xiang waited for a long time. The three of them were busy all the time. Chu Xiang didn't want to be disturbed, so he could only continue to wait patiently.
About an hour later, Chu Xiang felt something was different outside. He turned around and saw a Tang Dao being hoisted by a crane outside the glass door.
"Your knife is ready." The man with thick glasses pointed to the knife hanging outside and said to Chu Xiang: "The material is too hard and it is not easy to cut. It is a bit slow."
The degree of automation was indeed very high. The three of them had never gone out and the knife was already ready. Chu Xiang thought they had forgotten it, so he said thank you and went out to get the knife.
A Tang knife cut out of one piece, the blade has been polished, and the handle still retains traces of cutting. It also has anti-slip lines cut into it, so it won't slip when used without a tie. The knife was still hot, using a flat grinding method. It didn't look very sharp. It was a gray copper color, and there was a layer of dark patterns on the blade. Chu Xiang looked carefully and saw that it was a layer of etched ancient cloud patterns. .
After a while, the knife cooled down. Chu Xiang picked up the knife and rolled it into a sword. He was very satisfied with the weapon in his hand. The quality of the knife was better than he expected. The front and rear weights were very scientific and it was very easy to use.
Chu Xiang wanted to turn around and say thank you, but seeing that the three of them had their heads down and were busy, it was hard to disturb them, so he gave up the idea and left the processing room.
After getting the weapon, Chu Xiang sent a message to Song Ming, telling him that he was leaving, and left the base.
After leaving the warm base and staying in the ward for more than twenty days, Chu Xiang felt a little uncomfortable. The falling wind and snow melted in his neck, and Chu Xiang got an idea.
"A comfortable environment will indeed make people weak." Chu Xiang sighed and walked into the wind and snow.
Five hours later, in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, Chu Xiang frowned as he looked at the cave entrance on the cliff in front. The traces of everyone's visit have been covered by wind and snow, the stream is still gurgling, and the cave is still dark, as if nothing has happened. However, the terrifying figure and unstoppable momentum of the zombies remain deeply in Chu Xiang's mind.
Sitting cross-legged on the hillock, he silently looked at the cave in front of him. For a long time, Chu Xiang did not move, and the wind and snow slowly covered Chu Xiang.
Thick clouds were on top, snowflakes were flying, the valley was covered in white, and the breath of Chu Xiang disappeared in the wind and snow.
After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang in the snowdrift, and the snowdrift on the top of the hill suddenly split neatly in half, revealing the person inside.
There is a signal here. Apparently the base has deployed communication devices here. The mobile phone in his hand must be a special version of the military, otherwise it would be impossible to connect to the base's signal.
"Gongsun, what's going on?"
"The matter is serious. Did you kill Deng Tong?" Gongsun Qi's voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Xiang understood that Leng Ruyue must have killed someone and said, "Let them deal with it themselves. I'm a little busy now."
"Are you just so indifferent? I have been guarding the gate of Nanhua Villa for several days." Gongsun Qi shouted.
"Then you continue." Chu Xiang said.
Gongsun Qi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Forget it, just go about your business. We'll talk about it when you come back."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiang called Leng Ruyue.
"Boss." Leng Ruyue's voice didn't change much and didn't sound nervous.
"Where are you?"
"Outside Wucheng."
"Come to my place. I will send you your location later. Call Shang Zhongdao."
"Okay." Leng Ruyue said.
After hanging up the phone, the wind and snow were flying, and soon enveloped Chu Xiang again.
At this time, Gongsun Qi was huddled under the corner diagonally opposite the entrance of Nanhua Villa, covered with a military coat, with a broken bowl in front of him, covered with wind and snow, like a beggar, muttering something in his mouth. Don't know what you are doing.
Since his identity was exposed in that incident, Duan Meng has not left the gate of Nanhua Villa. Nanhua Villa has become a place of right and wrong. There are always people of unknown origin wandering around, and there are many people of unknown origin. Mixing in with the pilgrims offering incense, they entered the other courtyard to inquire about the news. Recently, rumors were spreading that the Mountain Guest Alliance was planning to destroy the Nanhua Villa.
Nanhua Villa is facing a formidable enemy. Recently, pilgrims are not allowed to enter other areas except from the entrance to the main hall where incense is burned. The monks are on guard 24 hours a day and do not tolerate treachery.
Gongsun Qi went in once and heard that he was a friend of Chu Xiang. Master Yin paid great attention to him and received him personally. Knowing that Gongsun Qi came because of Duan Meng, Ling Yin was not nervous because of the undercurrent outside, but comforted Gongsun. Qi tells him not to worry, other hospitals have their own ways to deal with it.
