The flight from Heishiji to Luoshi City was only a few hours, but it took Yu Yuan almost a day and a night.
It didn't take much time to walk to the landing point of the spaceship; when he arrived at the place, he looked around and found that the ship that sent him here was missing. The landing point was empty, and he could only wait for the next arriving spaceship - also
It only took him less than twenty minutes.
The next spacecraft was small in size and had old components. Before it landed, Yu Yuan heard a "thump, thump, thump" sound in the air; five minutes after it landed and turned off the engine, there was still a feeling of pain on the buttocks.
Like a fire, gray smoke was billowing into the air - Yu Yuan thought of the small spaceship that Lin Sanjiu deceived from the island dungeon, and he felt somewhat familiar with it.
"I'm going to Rockfall City,"
After all the passengers on the spacecraft were gone and the smoke finally cleared, Yu Yuan approached the spacecraft - the glass porthole of the cockpit was four or five meters high from the ground, and he didn't know the pilot wearing a helmet and glasses.
Can you hear yourself shouting: "Can we leave now?"
The driver lowered his head and glanced at the ground, and actually used his hand to lower a piece of glass. "What?"
Yu Yuan had no choice but to repeat what he said again.
"Yes, yes," the driver shouted, "but I have to gather at least five people before I can leave. I'll just take you on my own, and you'll lose money."
It seems that the ship he came with has gone, which is not a bad thing; Yu Yuan doesn't have much money and can't afford to charter the big ship last time, but buying five tickets in one go and chartering this small spaceship is a good idea.
Just enough.
"Okay," the driver took the money, as if he was not satisfied, and looked in the direction of Heishiji, as if he wanted to see if there was a chance to pick up one more person; when Yu Yuan urged him, he
Disappointed, he said: "Hey...since you are in such a hurry, okay, let's get on the boat."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yuan was already standing in the cabin.
The cabin was also very similar to the stolen small spaceship: all the unnecessary things in the cabin had been removed and replaced with two rows of seats; the cockpit was not far away, and Yu Yuan sat on the edge.
, you can reach out and touch the back of his chair.
The last time he sat in such a small spacecraft, the person in the pilot's seat was himself. Behind him, Qing Jiuliu and Yuan Xiangxi were arguing about something, and Lin Sanjiu was trying to smooth things over; the sky in front of him
Inside, is a large black grid that the puppeteer somehow controls.
Yu Yuan fastened his seat belt and watched the pilot slowly make preparations. Hearing the sound of air pressure when the cabin door closed, he felt a little confused for a moment, not knowing what was waiting for him ahead.
"Why are you going to Luo Shi City?" The driver raised his voice and asked amidst the sound of the engine, "That place is not prosperous, and it is not comfortable to stay there."
"I'm going to find someone." Yu Yuan said briefly.
"Oh, that's easy to find. There aren't many people there at all." The pilot seemed to like chatting. He didn't stop talking after the boat started, and was not affected by Yu Yuan's silence: "If you don't
Mind if I ask, why are you looking for someone? To make a deal, or to seek revenge?"
Without waiting for Yu Yuan to answer, he quickly laughed and tried to calm down the situation that had not yet developed: "Don't blame me for being curious. It's mainly because of your tattoos, brother. Oh, it's really shocking. Who can't help but stutter after seeing this...
...When I looked at it, I thought, well, this big brother must be seeking revenge."
"You and I should be about the same age, so there's no need to call me brother." Yu Yuan couldn't help but say, "I'm not looking for revenge. I have no enemies. I'm looking for my friend... I don't know if I can find him."
"
The driver was quiet and then sighed.
"Yes," he said softly as if he remembered something: "In this endless doomsday world, even if you meet someone you want to cherish, you can't keep him..."
It seems that he is also a person who has experienced separation - Yu Yuan sighed and did not ask further questions. He just turned his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.
Thick clouds filtered the sunlight, and only a gray and dim skylight shone on the ground beneath our feet; the buildings and towns where humans gathered became matchboxes left behind.
"On the earth below our feet, how many people have to go through all kinds of hardships just to be able to come to this world? But they don't stay long after they come. After taking a breath, they have to be thrown into the world again.
The apocalyptic world has gone into his mouth." The driver seemed to be emotional as he said this, and asked: "You tell me, how can this be alive?"
Yu Yuan actually had a good impression of this driver. People who lamented their own fate would be rare in the apocalyptic world; but those who could treat others with respect and compassion for others would be rare in the apocalyptic jungle where the jungle of the jungle is strong.
Not seen much anymore.
Perhaps the driver also felt the warmth in his attitude. After the two chatted for a long time and felt familiar, they asked Yu Yuan: "How can you not have enemies? Who doesn't have a few enemies in the apocalypse?"
?”
"I have enemies," Yu Yuan thought for a while and said, "but they are not out of personal hatred."
"How did you become an enemy?"
"If someone inflicts suffering or harm on me, I will resist, fight, and forgive and forget later." Yu Yuan whispered, "But, for those...how to describe it, we are born as human beings,
If those essential things that are called human beings are trampled on and insulted... Once I see it, it will be difficult to pretend that I can't see it anymore, even if it has no direct relationship with me."
He paused and then said: "What's more, my friend is a more persistent person than me. Even if I am willing to stay away from the river, she will never give up. I can't let her fight against such a powerful person alone.
Enemy."
The driver sighed. "Brother, you are a good person."
"We should be about the same age..." Yu Yuan reminded again.
"That's right, I forgot about it," the driver turned around and smiled and said, "I just call people like that when I see them, I'm used to it——"
On a spaceship with a cruise system, it is not a big deal for the pilot to occasionally not look at the control panel - even if he takes a nap - but this is an unfortunate situation.
In other words, it was just too much of a coincidence.
In the sudden turbulence of the entire spacecraft, Yu Yuan was almost thrown out of his seat if he hadn't been fastened with a seat belt. The pilot was even more careless than him, and he was knocked out of the driver's seat when he was half-twisting. The engine.
Suddenly, there was an urgent, sharp cry added to the buzzing sound. The whole ship was trembling and shaking, but it never moved forward.
Yu Yuan almost thought he had seen it wrong - but he didn't.
There is always the same land under our feet; mountains, plains, the same river, in the same position in the distance, the matchbox in the gathering place of mankind remains motionless.
"What's going on?" The pilot hurriedly got up from the ground, pulled the joystick several times, and pressed several buttons, but to no avail. "How can we stop in mid-air?"
Yu Yuan had already walked to the cockpit, said in a deep voice "Let me see", and immediately released the spacecraft system from the cruise mode; the pilot stepped aside, took off his helmet, and murmured: "Lan Bu
It turns out you are so knowledgeable..."
Yu Yuan looked at the control panel. After a few seconds, he looked up at the sky in front of him.
"Don't panic, I have an idea I want to try," he said slowly.
"try what?"
Before the driver could react, Yu Yuan shut down the engine with a "pop". The driver's low exclamation immediately cut into the blank space after the engine sound stopped suddenly: "What are you doing--"
However, his voice immediately stopped.
Even without engine propulsion, this dilapidated little spacecraft still stood steadily in the sky, as if it were a small insect caught in transparent amber.
"this……"
Looking out the cockpit porthole, there is only empty sky ahead; from the radar display, there are no foreign objects near the small spacecraft.
Yu Yuan tentatively took a step out, still feeling a small worry deep in his heart, fearing that this step would cause the spacecraft to lose its balance and fall from the sky.
But the spacecraft was quiet and motionless; the slight tremor caused by his footsteps did not shake the spacecraft loose at all.
"Is this the most common route to Rockfall City?" Yu Yuan turned around and asked.
The driver looked at him and nodded.
"Wait for me." Yu Yuan remembered the scene where he rolled down the window before, and hurriedly walked to the cockpit, unlocked the locking system, and lowered a piece of glass; he held the handle inside the boat tightly with one hand and tried to move it as much as possible.
The upper body was stretched out, and his eyes fell on the outer hull of the small spacecraft.
He stopped.
For a moment, Yu Yuan thought there was something wrong with his mind - but he was not wrong.
From the low gray clouds in the sky, several thick, substantial smoke clouds actually stretched down, like arms, tightly holding the small spaceship.
