Chapter 1042: How long will it take for [Kunlun City] to fall (56)?
Chapter 3395 [Kunlun City] Fall (56)—How long will it take for the absence of each other to become unfamiliar?
【Tianlao】Before breaking the prison.
Sea of Sky...Fortress.
Horizontal light patterns kept flashing across Li Jianyi's body as the elevator moved. His eyes seemed to have lost focus, and he just let time go by.
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration, and the elevator reached the end... The moment the door opened, Li Jianyi's eyes focused, and then a familiar face appeared in front of him.
[Six ears].
[Liuer] rarely comes to this area... He said he didn't like the smell of this place - in fact, he didn't like the smell of Li Jianyi.
"Is something wrong?" Li Jianyi asked curiously.
"Did you forget what you promised me?" [Liu Er] raised his palm - a palm with one finger missing.
"Come with me." Li Jian nodded.
His work area and living area were all in one place... He soon led [Liu Er] to the workshop - installing a prosthetic finger does not require too many procedures... and even the surgery is a bit delicate.
[Liu Er] spread out his palm with missing fingers and looked at the other person holding a miniature electric drill. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Hey, you're distracted!"
"Ah... Indeed." Li Jian nodded, "Maybe it's because you haven't had a good rest recently... Speaking of which, since you don't plan to regenerate your body, why not simply undergo a full-body prosthetic transformation?"
"That kind of supernatural genetic modification technology you mentioned before?" [Liu Er] frowned and asked, "Why, are you not satisfied enough that you need to extend your claws to me?"
"The devil's claw is too much." Li Jianyi chuckled, lowered his head and drilled open the bone marrow on the [Six Ear] finger bones. He looked very focused, like a technician doing a manicure.
The implantation of a prosthetic finger didn't take much time - soon, feeling the new finger that moved freely, [Liu Er] nodded with satisfaction, "My cheap student, please help me take care of it."
.”
Li Jianyi did not answer immediately. He just called out the fortress's center, Rabbit Ear Girl, and checked Gaikai's situation at this time - this cheap student was swinging a sword with a heavy load in the gravity room.
"Why are you still using this primitive cultivation method?" Li Jianyi asked in surprise.
"It's just to temper your spirit." [Liu Er] spread his hands and said, "This guy has all the strength, but his consciousness is not very good... It is not so much that he has good combat power and various abilities, but rather that these abilities are like needs.
The skills are the same as those that only take effect when activated."
"Skills?" Li Jianyi pondered: "This may be the characteristic of [the alien]."
"Leave it to you." [Liu Er] smiled nonchalantly: "Just don't kill him... Actually, I'm also very curious whether [The Stranger] really won't die, but I don't have time for the time being."
Li Jianyi didn't ask [Liu Er] what he planned to do - he came to him to install the finger, and even asked Gai Kai, and it was already clear that he wanted to go out.
"It won't take too long." He said calmly: "All the [Spears of Destiny] have been implanted, and [Cang Lan]'s anti-spiritual power device will be fully activated soon... You can bring a [Dragon] with you. Ⅲ] type dragon rider, just in case of emergencies."
"Let's go." [Liu Er] waved his hand.
After a while, feedback came from the center. [Liu Er] had piloted a fighter plane and left the fortress dock - the current flight path of the fighter plane was in the direction of: [Kunlun City].
"Retrieve the surveillance data from the past six hours." After returning to the room, Li Jianyi ordered again.
The entire fortress network was running at high speed... In the past few hours, the movements of a certain teacher Nan Nan were revealed one by one. Li Jianyi boiled water in a beaker, soaked a bowl of noodles and ate it.
…
The living area of the middle floor... On the bench facing the street - a certain teacher Nan Nan was looking up at the holographic simulation of the sky with a dejected look on his face.
"The sun is a bit dazzling..."
After a while, Miss Xiangxiang trotted back... holding two ice creams in her hands.
"...According to your request, I bought both flavors." Miss Xiangxiang said angrily.
Then Zunan said thank you, took two ice creams, and took a bite of each... She looked so happy. The corners of Xiangxiang's eyes couldn't help but twitch... She originally thought that one of them would be for herself.
"Oh... do you want to eat it?" Ah Nan blinked and handed over the ice cream they had bitten, "Which flavor do you want?"
"...Thank you, no need!" Xiangxiang sat aside expressionlessly...what was she expecting!
"You said before that your mother works in a childcare institution... is it near here?" Zunan asked casually.
Xiangxiang was startled, "It is indeed nearby. It is a community kindergarten. I am currently the senior educator there."
"Go and say hello?" Tan Nan smiled and said, "This is not the first time we have met. Didn't you have dinner with your parents before?"
"No need." Xiangxiang shook her head: "I am at work and it does not involve personal matters."
"Just think that I want to visit?" Zunan picked up Xiangxiang and walked forward.
"Hey... wait, I said no need." Xiangxiang said quickly: "Miss Nan, even if you want to go, you are going in the wrong direction!"
"Let's buy some small gifts." Channan said with a smile: "You can't go to the kindergarten with empty hands, right? I can be considered a foreign guest of your fortress, so I have to show off!"
——For foreign guests... who knows you?
Xiangxiang thought angrily.
…
"Xiangxiang...Miss Nan?"
Xiangxiang’s mother’s surname is Li and her given name is Xianglan. She has been serving in child care institutions for more than 20 years.
Li Xianglan seemed a little surprised because she probably didn't expect to see her daughter at work.
"Aunt, we meet again." Miss Nan smiled slightly, "The last stop today is to visit here. I hope it won't disturb... some gifts for the children here."
"I'm interested." Li Xianglan smiled and nodded.
Miss Nan smiled politely, "Miss Xiangxiang, please give these gifts to the children. I believe you will like this job."
Xiangxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't refuse. She carried two big bags of gifts and walked towards the children in the playground.
"I heard that most of the children here have lost their parents?" Zunan asked casually.
"You can't say that." Li Xianglan shook her head, "Here, everyone will say that they regard them as their own children and their parents."
Zunan looked at Li Xianglan with a smile without saying a word.
"...Why did Miss Nan suddenly think of coming here?" Li Xianglan asked her to sit down.
Zunan smiled and said: "Didn't Auntie talk about adoption before? I thought that if Miss Xiangxiang and I are in need...actually, it's just a matter of understanding it in advance."
Li Xianglan's expression suddenly became unnatural, and she smiled bitterly: "Ms. Nan, you know, those are just polite words... As parents, we actually hope that Xiangxiang can return to normal."
Zunan stretched and yawned, "It doesn't matter. Today's technology is so advanced, I can also perform surgery... There will always be a way to give Miss Xiangxiang happiness as a woman."
The corners of Li Xianglan's mouth twitched...Who is this?
"Ha..." Li Xianglan smiled coquettishly, "Ms. Nan seems to be very tired. Can't she get some rest?"
"Hmm... I really didn't sleep well last night. Maybe it's because of my bedmate?" Tan Nan poked her chin, "Speaking of which, Miss Xiangxiang usually lives in the correspondents' dormitory, so she doesn't go home often, right? She
Are you used to sleeping well last night?"
"Last night..." Li Xianglan was startled and turned her head subconsciously, looking at Xiangxiang who was handing out gifts, "Miss Nan is really good at joking. She has grown up at home since she was a child. How come she is not used to it?
"
"That's right." Tan Nan narrowed her eyes, "What about you, Auntie? If you don't see your daughter for too long, will you feel strange?"
"...It's almost time for get out of class to end." Li Xianglan stood up, "I have to get ready. Parents will come to pick up and drop off their children later... Miss Nan, I'll excuse you for now."
"You're busy." Channan smiled and said, "Auntie, Xiangxiang and I are waiting for you here... I will continue to disturb you tonight! The dishes cooked by auntie, and the taste of mother's, are very fascinating."
Li Xianglan opened her mouth, but hesitated. In the end, she said nothing and left quickly - just as she said, she needed to prepare for the end of get out of class.
"What did you say to my mother?" Miss Xiangxiang came over with a puzzled face, "I rarely see her like this."
"What does it look like?"
"Absent-minded?" Miss Xiangxiang frowned and said suspiciously, "You really didn't say anything weird?"
"No." Zunan came closer, almost in front of Xiangxiang's cheek, "I just asked a little about adoption."
"This is already weird, okay?" She rolled her eyes at the other party angrily, "Do you know that what you said to my parents before almost scared them to death, thinking that I, I..."
"It will be very happy~"
Xiangxiang clenched her fists tightly... After managing her emotions for a while, she smiled professionally and said, "Ms. Nan, I have already visited here. Where do you want to go next?"
"You can get off work now."
"Okay..." Miss Xiangxiang responded subconsciously, and then immediately responded, "After get off work?"
"Yes." Zunan smiled slightly, "Isn't it a surprise? Not only can you eat and drink at public expense with me, but you can also get off work early. Do you feel like you have been favored by the goddess of luck?"
"I need to report this to the leader." Miss Xiangxiang said thoughtfully.
At this time, Chunan held Xiangxiang's wrist and rubbed the metal ring on her wrist with her fingers, "Is this the communicator you usually use for reporting?"
"...Please wait a moment." Xiangxiang pulled her hand back directly - who was actually picking her palm!
She quickly walked aside, opened the communication on the bracelet, and explained the situation at this time. To Xiangxiang's surprise, the bracelet quickly sent a response-allowing her to leave work.
Miss Xiangxiang came back with a strange look on her face.
"What, do you feel that your leader is as generous as me?" Nan Nan smiled.
Xiangxiang shook her head and muttered: "Ms. Nan, I can indeed get off work...Nevertheless, I will still be on call at any time. If necessary, you can find me through the short-range terminal as soon as possible. Also, once again, to
Just keep an eye on it, many areas will be closed after nightfall, please don't wander around."
"Bye~"
…
She just walked out of the childcare institution. Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment and chased after her, but Miss Nan was nowhere to be seen... She glanced at the communication ring on her wrist absently, wondering what she was thinking.
"Xiangxiang, why are you still here?"
After Li Xianglan sent away a child, she came over with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm off work." Xiangxiang didn't hide it, "Miss Nan requested it...and was allowed by the leader."
Li Xianglan looked strange, "What about you?"
"Go home." Xiangxiang smiled and hugged her mother's arm affectionately, "Let's go together! Let's discuss tonight about going to play on the next day off... Will father be back late tonight?"
"Do not touch me!"
Li Xianglan suddenly slapped Xiangxiang's hand away, looking excited.
"Mother...mother?"
"No, it's nothing." Li Xianglan wiped her face quickly, "My clothes just got dirty... I still have some things to finish, so I won't talk about it for now."
"Mother?!" Xiangxiang shouted.
But her mother had already walked back into the yard... She froze in place with a puzzled face, knowing that something was probably wrong in her mother's heart.
The simulated sky in the living area gradually dims.
Xiangxiang had never seen dusk outside the fortress - but that didn't affect her liking the simulated dusk at all.
Orange light scattered on her body... She was wearing new clothes that she bought when she and Miss Nan went shopping in the afternoon.
So are shoes.
She leaned against the wall outside the nursery door, gently lifting her feet, waiting for her mother to walk out... but all she received was a message from her mother.
——Your father has a mission tonight and cannot come back.
——There is a childcare worker at the nursery who is ill temporarily, and there is no time to arrange the evening post. I need to stay here to take care of her.
——You should go back to the staff dormitory to rest first. Don’t go home. There is no one there anyway.
Xiangxiang then dialed the communication, but it showed that her mother's communication had been closed.
She raised her head and glanced at the closed courtyard door, slightly absent-minded... She felt that there was no warmth at all between the lines of her mother's words.
Miss Xiangxiang sighed and turned away... The holographic simulation sky quickly passed through the dusk, and the middle-level living area became much, much deserted after nightfall.
Only the lights in the buildings in the residential area were on... Most of the employees who live in the fortress and their families are here.
She didn't go back to the staff dormitory - she just thought that if Miss Nan needed to call her, it would be more convenient to travel from her home in the living area, so Xiangxiang returned to her home in the community.
——Why is there no one at home?
——Isn’t there still me (naughty)
After entering the house, she sent a message to her mother... As soon as she took off her shoes, Miss Xiangxiang immediately sent the same message to her father, and then she lay directly on the sofa at home.
I didn't turn on the lights, just letting the light from outside shine in.
She was drowsy and fell asleep quickly.
…
She was awakened by a burst of extremely fast communications... She found her communicator and embedded it in the gap in the sofa.
It's a message from Li Xianglan... there are already many unanswered messages.
"Mother?" Xiangxiang muttered, "How could this be possible?"
"Are you at home?" Li Xianglan's voice sounded urgent and unsteady.
"Ah...I'm back, I was thinking..."
"Leave now!" Li Xianglan's voice changed, sharp and fierce, "Leave now! I don't care where you go, the dormitory... No, don't go back to the dormitory! Leave quickly!"
"Mother, what are you doing?" Xiangxiang looked puzzled, "What's wrong with you over there? What happened?"
"Quickly go - beep - beep -!"
"Mother?!"
Miss Xiangxiang suddenly trembled and stood up from the sofa almost as if jumping. She was extremely panicked and rushed to the door without thinking, and at the same time started dialing her father's communication.
The shoes were stepped in, and she hurriedly opened the door before she could get the heel off - she planned to go to the nursery to have a look.
The moment she opened the door, Xiangxiang saw four mechanical guards.
"You are……"
——"Target confirmed."
——“Recycle.”
The mechanical guard raised his hand, and a flash of lightning instantly wrapped around Xiangxiang's body...
