"It's been raining these days." Phytolacca held an umbrella and stood close to Shen Jiang. "It should rain."
"It's really disgusting." The girl was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, folding her arms and shivering. She looked down at her boots in the water and frowned, "I washed my clothes and hung them out for a week. If you don’t do it, Nianhu Lake is very wet, and my old bones can’t stand it, I’m afraid I’m going to get rheumatoid arthritis.”
Although the climate is humid and annoying, the traces of winter can be seen everywhere. The bare mountain vitex trees on the roadside are sprouting new buds in the drizzle, and the smell of all things growing in the soil is like a spider web pulling out thin threads. . Thick rain clouds and fog are like a huge pot lid, covering the Sichuan Basin, a steamer with an area of 260,000 square kilometers, and a huge amount of life is gestating in the warm precipitation.
By mid-to-late February, Phytolacca's meg-bci system training course was coming to an end. Shen Jiang had survived a total of 1,000 hours of inhuman torture. She couldn't remember how many questions she had done. She sang How many Wang Feng's songs have I listened to, how many stories have I watched, how many movies have I undergone, how many times have I been hypnotized, and how many punches have I received from Phytococcus striata - Phytolacca actually survived.
It's lucky this lunatic didn't get beaten to death.
"Get some wormwood?" Phytolacca said. "Mugwort removes dampness and removes cold. My advisor told me."
"I don't like mugwort." Shen Jiang said, "I hate the pungent smell."
"Smells bad?"
"No, it's very addictive." Shen Jiang nodded his head, "I hate all things that can make me addictive, because they will paralyze my brain."
The two of them took a shortcut back to the tunnel along the old road, only to find that the iron door at the entrance of the cave had been locked by someone. Shen Jiang angrily kicked the heavy, rusty iron chain and door lock with his feet, shouting loudly, "I'm going to do this." Whoever the bastard locked the door was, don't let me catch him. If he falls into my hands, he will definitely not get any good results. Shen Jiang kicked him hard and kicked his ankle again.
Shang Lu and Shen Jiang returned to the road in the mountains. They couldn't enter the tunnel, so they had to walk along the road.
"I don't know if the person who locked the door has any good things to eat, but I know you must not have any good things to eat now." Shanglu lifted Shen Jiang on his back, turned around and said, "Boss, you were just going to use Are your feet unlocked?"
Shen Jiang turned his head away.
"It's your menstrual period. Why are you a little grumpy?"
"Then keep warm."
Phytogluca was staggering on the uphill road carrying Shen Jiang. Shen Jiang was slender but light in weight. She had long hands and long legs. One hand was holding Phytolacca's shoulder, and the other was holding an umbrella, as if A swaying boat sails in a world of endless heavy rain.
"Supervisor, how many training subjects are left in the meg system?"
"There isn't much left." Shanglue shook his head, "Your mental torture is almost over, and my physical torture is almost over. Everyone is happy."
"Can I take it with me?"
"Of course you can take it away." Phytolacca was surprised why she would ask such a question, "We have spent so much effort to develop the meg-bci system just to let you take it away. Where are you? Wherever it goes, you have seen that OPMS-MEG helmet, right? There is only one of that thing in the world now, and we do not have the ability to make a second one. It is prepared for you and can be used until you retire."
Shen Jiang was silent for a moment, put his chin on Shang Lu's shoulder, and breathed out softly.
"Why me?"
"You want to ask, why did the only meg-bci system in the world choose you?" Phytolacca thought for a while, "There is no special reason, it's just that you happened to appear in front of me. Even if you are not a ginger, you will With garlic, onions and leeks, there’s no difference.”
"I do not believe."
"Well, there is indeed a special reason." Phytolacca said, "To put it more utilitarian, you are the most powerful among all giant weapon pilots. The reason for saving your life is to send you to a more important battlefield. That's nonsense. To put it simply, you look good."
He felt his breath suddenly held on his back. After a moment, she lowered her voice and said:
"Supervisor, do you know what you are doing?"
"I'm trying to save the world."
"You are a genius, so others cannot see through your thoughts. You use this to fool other people. You use the absolute support of human society to satisfy your personal wishes. You have the power to make the final decision to control the world. Who will be given the only opms-meg helmet in mankind?" Shen Jiang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Is it true that geniuses are more or less paranoid?"
"Not crazy, not live."
Shen Jiang buried her head in the back of his neck and took a deep breath quietly. She didn't want the other party to notice her little thoughts and movements, so she controlled her breathing and slowly smelled the smell of Phytolacca - that was What does it taste like? The slightly sour sweat is mixed with the smell of mothballs, Tide laundry detergent and soap. It smells like buds sprouting in the moist and warm soil.
Good soil.
The girl said in her heart.
The patter of rain hung under the umbrella like a curtain. Phytolacca carried Shen Jiang on his back and walked slowly on the winding mountain road. Looking out through the curtain, everything was misty and green.
"Supervisor, when do you think this rain will start...?" Shen Jiang suddenly lowered the umbrella cover, and the danger of passing through the mountains almost blew the umbrella over in her hand.
"Two weeks at most, it will subside sooner or later."
"I don't think it will stop." Shen Jiang said, "God is trying to make trouble for us. The damn rain is getting heavier and heavier. It's raining down on you. I hope you have a baby without an asshole!"
Shang Lu frowned: "What are you talking about, leader?"
"I'm scolding you, fuck me! I hope you have a baby without a butthole!" Shen Jiang also raised his voice and shouted. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the road in the heavy rain, and the girl's voice was only heard by the weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road. heard.
"Don't scold me, leader. If you make it more angry, it will cause more harm."
Phytolacca sighed.
"Where's your mother?"
Shen Jiang shouted towards the mountain.
This girl spit out some dirty words, as if the umbrella above her head and the bead curtains around her provided protection, and God's anger could not fall on her. Shen Jiang's mouth was full of messes along the way, And it’s so messy that you feel at ease and confident.
But the next second she blurted out "My day!" - Another gust of mountain wind came quickly and fiercely, and the umbrella in Shen Jiang's hand was pulled outward. She was caught off guard and did not hold the umbrella handle tightly for a moment, and the umbrella immediately fell. They rolled around twice on the road and fell into the cliff beside the road. Both Shangluca and Shen Jiang were dumbfounded. The pouring rain came towards them, turning them into drowned rats in just a few seconds.
"What did I say?" Phytolacca stopped and stopped on the side of the road.
The dripping Shen Jiang hugged Phytolacca's neck, and it took a long time before a single word came out of his mouth:
"day."
