Zhou Jinru raised his hand, with thousands of words in his heart, which finally converged into one sentence: "Long time no see."
Shuangxing sat next to a table and looked sideways at his right hand. At least on the surface, he couldn't see any difference.
"I……"
For a moment, she couldn't think of a good opening line. She had obviously thought about it a lot before, but when it came time to meet, she couldn't even say a word.
Zhou Jinru forced a smile, sat next to Shuangxing's left hand, and looked towards the sea. The calm evening was extremely harmonious. The sea breeze blew the small flag on the roof of the shop and made a whirring sound. The waves lapped the beach from time to time, which was not a problem at all. It’s hard to tell that an earth-shattering battle took place here more than twenty days ago.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I have no idea."
Zhou Jinru looked at the sparkling sea, supporting his knees with his elbows, leaning his upper body forward, with a blank look in his eyes.
He could not tell anyone else what was on his mind, and no one could solve his problems.
The white rabbit's long ears moved, and he reached out to hold the man's head. His cold fingers gently stroked his temples, and a beautiful tune came from his mouth.
Zhou Jinru couldn't understand the song she sang, but the Frost Origin Stone skills could indeed ease his inner uneasiness. Coupled with the Ursus country tune, accompanied by the sea breeze and waves, his heart slowly relaxed.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Frost Star thought of patriots. They should be the same kind of people. Everyone is watching them. They must stand firmly in front of everyone and resist all difficulties and dangers. They cannot retreat, cannot be weak, and cannot compromise.
Zhou Jinru smiled and said: "Yelena, I said that I was attracted to you when I saw you for the first time. Do you believe it?"
Shuangxing ignored his statement and deliberately said with a straight face: "Do you think 140 girlfriends are not enough?"
"What on earth did Isabella tell you?"
"She talked a lot, such as what kind of person you are and how many girlfriends you claim to have, but..."
"but what?"
White Rabbit sighed: "I only believe what I see."
Zhou Jinru asked curiously: "Then what did you see?"
"A determined warrior, but it's a pity that you are not one of ours."
He became more curious and asked: "What if I am?"
“Then we can greatly accelerate the development process of the organization.”
Zhou Jinru said disappointedly: "Is it just an organization?"
Froststar rolled her eyes at him: "What else do you want, white-haired Draco?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, that's a joke, don't take it seriously!"
I just said it as a joke at first, but I didn't expect so many people to take it seriously. Frost Star meant that you have thoughts about Tallulah, right?
"You are this person..."
"Actually Carters is pretty good too, I quite like him too."
Shuangxing was startled. Although he had already guessed it, when he actually heard it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Zhou Jinru added: "But I can't stop Mr. Patriot's halberd. If he stabs me with a halberd, I will have no choice but to run for my life."
White Rabbit suddenly said: "Father is here!"
Zhou Jinru stood up suddenly and looked around: "Where is it?!"
Except for a few scattered tourists, where are the patriots?
Shuangxing pulled his clothes: "Okay, let's calm down for a while. Don't be so nervous. Even if my father is here, he won't really do anything."
"Hey, you are so boring."
"I don't understand why you are so afraid of my father."
Zhou Jinru said seriously: "According to the custom of the Yan Kingdom, when I meet your father, I need to know his hobbies in advance, prepare a few more gifts, and be careful in everything, so..."
"What is this?"
The surrounding air was a bit colder, and Shuangxing clenched his fists, thinking that if he really said it, he would give him some color.
"This will give me the opportunity to sit down and chat with Mr. Patriot."
"Hmm."
The two of them sat together and watched the sea. The wind picked up a bit, causing Carters' long ears to sway.
After a few minutes, she whispered: "I'm going back."
"Um."
"After the matter here in Xinxista is over, we will return to the base."
"Um."
"What else can you say besides 'um'?"
Shuangxing was a little angry. Why was this guy like Yanguo's abacus, moving it once and for all but not moving if he didn't?
Zhou Jinru glanced at her: "Have a good trip?"
"you!"
The man said helplessly: "What do you want me to say, the future development of the integration movement, the way out for the infected, or how to return to Ursus? I can't say anything;
The current integration movement controlled by Tallulah is very good. It can at least establish order and give the infected a bite to eat, just as you promised on the ice sheet. Isn't farming your long-cherished wish?
The way out for the infected needs time to be tested. At least the observation team can force Ursus to adopt a relatively relaxed attitude towards facing the infected, but this is far from enough. A loose alliance may collapse at any time. You really think I am invincible. Say a word and other countries will follow suit? They will nod if the observation team is profitable;
Finally, I don’t think you can return to Ursus now. I believe your intelligence can also find out some things. Several armies of Ursus are moving south, saying they are conducting exercises, but why are they targeting Casimir? Forming a double-team trend? "
Frost Star, I can't solve all the problems, maybe God can't solve them either. "
White Rabbit lowered his head slightly: "I didn't say there must be an answer. Rhode Island has tried its best. Whether it was the last time in Saint Alar or this time in Xinxi Tower, sometimes I still think about it. , if...if the leader could terminate that plan in time, maybe our relationship would not be so stiff, but everything has happened."
Speaking of this matter, Zhou Jinru was curious: "Yelena, what happened to Tallulah when she was in Chernobog?"
"I don't know, the situation was very chaotic at the time. I only know that when she was passing by an Originium fuel warehouse, the Ursus police officer hiding inside ignited the pile of fuel. She was knocked unconscious by the explosion, and what she did after that was... It’s very different from before.”
Zhou Jinru was surprised: "You actually told me this?"
"Because I know she and that Chen are sisters."
That's true. It's a pity that he didn't see the scene of the sisters fighting. It can be imagined that it was very exciting.
"The leader is often alone in a daze, always looking at her ring, or scribbling on a piece of paper, and then burns it, never showing it to anyone."
"ring?"
"The leader once had a close friend who later disappeared. If she were there, she would definitely be able to prevent the leader from becoming crazy in the end."
…
In the other direction of the city.
"Are you really not going to look at her again?"
"I've seen it and she's fine."
"Okay, let's go."
The man with a pen in his breast pocket put on his cloak and walked toward the wilderness with the white deer, who was also wrapped in a black cloak, and disappeared into the wind and sand.
Bai Lu looked at the man's back from behind and couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
"I have one last stop. When I arrive, I will find a place to live in seclusion. As for you, you are free. You can return to the Integration Movement or go to Rhode Island."
"I don't understand."
"The future is both out of reach and within reach. Alina, you only need to do one thing to reach the future. Your future has arrived, but mine has not yet arrived."
…
"Senior, go this way!"
Eyjafala walked nimbly in front. Even though she was wearing thick protective clothing, her posture was quite nimble. She was not at all like an infected person whose Originium disease was so severe that they almost lost their vision and hearing.
Part of the credit was due to the medical team meeting overnight to formulate a tailor-made medical plan for her. The other part of the credit was Zhou Jinru's continued use of reason to suppress the Originium particles in her body, forcibly reducing the index to two-thirds of the original level. I can't hold it down anymore.
The old city that had regained its calm was once again occupied by Originium dust, and the sites where the battles had been fought had been filled with soil dug out from a distance by the New Xista people, and basically no traces could be seen.
After walking through the old city with human traces, they came to the extinct volcano. Everywhere was filled with cooled volcanic rocks, and there was no sign of activity at all.
"Miss Eyjafala, can you still feel it moving?"
The little sheep paused for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "I didn't feel anything. Maybe it was really asleep."
Di Ling, a geologist, had stayed in Xinxista until he was brought in by Zhou Jinru to explore together.
"I also find it strange that after that volcanic eruption, it was completely silent, only one year apart."
"Maybe that's a good thing."
Several of the accompanying operators began to set up equipment, and Zhou Jinru also followed to help. In the end, he was kicked out. The operators did not want to see him looking for something to do.
Di Ling glanced at Zhou Jinru. She was used to fishing, and she would fish as much as she could. Her working hours were fixed at eight hours a day, and she was not willing to work overtime for even one more minute.
As for the doctor, he is a maniac about working overtime. I heard that he has to work overtime until late at night every day, and sometimes you can see him making noodles at four in the morning.
Even if one day the doctor becomes bald, the earth spirit will not be surprised.
Zhou Jinru stared: "I always feel like you are arranging me."
"No, you are my boss, how dare I..."
The last person who dared to arrange this guy has been sent to work overtime for a month continuously. He was still a student of Dr. Kelsey, so he was not given any face.
Zhou Jinru didn't know that the task he assigned to Ya Ye had been misinterpreted as public revenge, although Ya Ye himself felt the same way...
In short, that boss seems to be back again, so everyone should be careful.
…
"Leader Frost Star, the leader is looking for you."
Froststar, who had just returned to the integration movement camp, was immediately called to Tallulah's office. At a glance, she saw Lyudmila standing not far away, listening to the leader's instructions.
"...Yelena, you are here too, let's discuss it together."
"Where's father?"
"My husband is collecting supplies. He is very busy and very happy now. Not only have we obtained a large amount of funds, but we also have a considerable amount of medicine."
Tallulah turned the black pen in her hand and continued: "We will make arrangements for the relevant pensions after the casualties in this operation are compiled. Now let's talk about the first thing. Lyudmila, you'd better go back to Luo. Tokushima, after all, you are now their operator, don’t forget this.”
The King Slayer opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The doctor probably knew a long time ago that she didn't really join Rhode Island. Now almost everyone knows it. If she goes back now, there won't be any good consequences, right?
"You don't need to have any psychological burden. It doesn't matter which side you are from. Rhode Island won't do anything to you. You can still get another subsidy. What's wrong with that?"
How does it feel to go from being a double agent to being everyone’s mascot?
The mood of the regicide is quite subtle.
Tallulah turned to look at Elena, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "How was today's date?"
Froststar argued, "That's not a date at all!"
"You have the final say, but I have to remind you that you have already reached the marriageable age and it's time to fall in love."
Dragon Girl couldn't help laughing, which made Shuangxing want to give her a piece of ice to calm her down.
White Rabbit said coldly: "If you just want to make these silly jokes, I have other things to do..."
"Okay, okay, don't get emotional. I have something I want you to do. I'll leave in two days."
"whats the matter."
The dragon girl put away her smile and said with a serious expression: "Your destination is a certain knight leader in Casimir. When you arrive at the designated place, lie down and wait for the right time."
"Casimir?!"
Yelena thought of many things at once. She was not sure, but the leader's words were obviously not a joke to her.
The dragon girl nodded, but refused to say another word: "Yes, you will know when the time comes."
…
Under the dim light, a fair-skinned hand was writing on a notebook.
"On the 186th day after arriving in this world, we are still adapting to the environment here, and the results are good. Alexander has learned the language here, and can find some jobs suitable for us from the black market chamber of commerce. What is even more surprising is that he has also learned the language here. I have a pet, and I say it’s much easier to have a pet than to communicate with those people.”
"As for Elias, the way he integrates into this land is beyond my imagination. The girls here like him very much, and some even take the initiative to send him flowers. I have to say that appearance is justice. It’s also very practical to have it here, he is currently trying to organize a football match and is quite busy.”
"Tina is the best hunter. She has been recognized by the mercenaries and has begun to make and use crossbows here. She once exaggeratedly told me that people here can use special skills that are far beyond our ability to understand. Technology, they call it Source Stone Technology, is this magic?"
"I hope our journey will be smoother and we can find our way back. After all, every journey has an end."
Stopping writing, the lady with a red ponytail moved her sore neck, put the notebook into an iron box, locked it with a copper lock, and put the iron box under the bed.
In a few hours, it will be a new day.
The end of summer is waiting for the first fallen leaves of autumn.
