The land in the northwest is very vast, and as vast as the land is the starry sky above it.
In the past, Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying looked up at the starry sky inside the base. Although the starry sky itself had not changed at all, it was far more beautiful than what they saw when standing in the vast land in the northwest and looking up.
There is no news from Feng Hongxi, but Gu Zhuo is not in a hurry. At worst, he can wait here all night.
Anyway, as long as I have the Fortress of Doom, I feel at home wherever I am.
Through a remote connection with the little robot butler, Gu Zhuo informed Jia Sheng and others that they were safe. They were still guarding the base, and Gu Zhuo greeted them a few times and told them not to worry.
After passing the news to Jia Sheng and others, Gu Zhuo saw Chao Ying sitting in the living room, leaning against the window and looking at the stars.
"Have you never been to the Northwest before?"
Gu Zhuo sat down next to her and asked Chao Ying.
"I have never been here. I have only seen it in books or on TV. I have grown up in the south since I was a child. As a native of the south, this is the first time I have seen such a vast world and boundless wilderness."
Chaoying said, pointing to some slopes in the distance, and continued,
"Those slopes are like bridges connecting the sky and the land. It's so desolate here."
"yes."
Gu Zhuo nodded.
He found no trace of monsters nearby, so this desolate place was probably protected from monster attacks in the first place.
Except for the geographical environment and climate environment, the rest here is surprisingly safe.
Gu Zhuo saw Chao Ying lying on the window, looking eagerly at the starry sky. He took Chao Ying's hand and said to her:
"follow me."
He took Chaoying up to the second floor. At this time, the second-floor platform unfolded to form an open-air balcony. On the balcony were some vegetables grown by Gu Zhuo. In addition to the agricultural greenhouses in the base, Gu Zhuo also insisted on growing vegetables on the second-floor platform.
Plant some vegetables.
Since it was built, this is the first time it has been used as an open-air balcony.
Gu Zhuo moved a small folding chair and table, placed them on the open-air balcony, and pulled Chao Ying to sit down:
"It's not daytime now, so we can't sunbathe, so we can barely do some moonbathing."
After hearing Gu Zhuo's words, Chao Ying leaned from the side and nestled in his arms.
The two of them cuddled together and looked at the desolate northwest desert.
The air here is dry, like sand that has been exposed to the sun for a long time, giving off a unique smell of sunshine. It is an indescribable smell that can only be found in the desert.
"Gu Zhuo, look at that silver thing in the distance. What is that shining thing?"
Chaoying discovered that there was something like a silver sea at the junction of the sky, the desert and the night.
"It's the moonlight, it's the shadow cast by the moonlight."
Gu Zhuo answered her.
"Tell me, what was it like here at the beginning of the apocalypse when it snows heavily? When the heavy snow falls on the desert, will it blend into the sand? Will it be covered with a layer of snow on the surface of the sand?"
Chaoying kept asking Gu Zhuo. At this moment, she looked as simple and innocent as a little girl.
Gu Zhuo had never seen snow in the desert. He thought about it and used a very romantic metaphor:
"The surface of the sand will be covered with a layer of snow, just like there is a layer of frost on the water surface. It is white and shining. I think it must be very beautiful, just like you imagined."
"It's very beautiful."
Chao Ying said, his eyes softened, and he grabbed Gu Zhuo's hand.
"Woof woof woof!"
Sam poked his head out from the stairs and shouted several times to the two of them.
"Sam, come here."
Gu Zhuo called Sam to his side, and Sam came over and lay at Gu Zhuo's feet, then lolled on the ground with his tongue out, leaning his head against Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo held Chao Ying's hand with one hand, and lowered his other hand to touch Sam's head.
They are now in such a desolate world. Except for the Salt Lake Prison in the distance, there are no other buildings here.
Apart from them, there is no one else here.
Gu Zhuo suddenly returned to his previous pure life.
At that time, they only had two people and one dog, and they were running around in this doomsday world. They would save those who could be saved, and run away if they could not cope with the powerful enemies. At that time, they had no base or followers, let alone now.
This will give you confidence in the future if your ability is strong enough.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Chaoying raised his head and asked him.
"Laughing about things in the past, maybe after experiencing too much, I start to feel sad about the spring and autumn, and recall some things from the past."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhuo also joked about Chaoying,
"When I first rescued you, you were so cruel, cold and distant to me. I thought no one in this life could get into your heart."
"Huh, we weren't familiar with each other at that time, so of course I was afraid that you might have other thoughts. What's wrong, are you settling old scores with me now?"
Chaoying became arrogant.
"Yes, I want to settle old scores with you. I saved you, but you were so cold to me at the time. If I hadn't been so indifferent, I would have thrown you away again!"
"Then throw it away. Regardless of the past, you will definitely be reluctant to throw it away now."
The two of them started having fun, but at the same time they did not forget their mission here, which was to ensure that Feng Hongxi's batch of goods would not be eaten by Chen Haidao. Gu Zhuo gave Feng Hongxi's exclusive contact number.
Its sound is adjusted to the loudest to ensure that it can be received at any time.
After Gu Zhuo unexpectedly kissed Chao Ying on the face, the two became quiet again.
Chaoying yawned and shed a few tears:
"Gu Zhuo, it's getting late, let's go to bed."
"Okay, go to sleep. I don't think Feng Hongxi will call us tonight."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and let Sam and Chaoying go down first, while he took the folding chair and folding table in his hands.
After holding it in his hand and before going down, he looked back at the far distance of the northwest desert. It was still silvery, like a sparkling lake, and the starry sky above them was also spinning and spinning.
It's just like hundreds of millions of years ago.
Not sure if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the ground seemed to be moving slightly, following the starry sky.
Gu Zhuo sighed softly, thought no more, and went down the stairs to the car.
...
At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Zhuo held Chao Ying in his arms, and the two of them were still awake.
Suddenly, the voice of Feng Hongxi's exclusive contact number exploded, making it sound so harsh in the quiet fortress of doom.
Gu Zhuo was so excited that he jumped up from the bed and threw some clothes on his body. At least he wasn't naked anymore.
Putting on some clothes, he picked up the phone on the bedside table next to him, walked to the living room, and then connected the video.
As soon as the call was connected, I saw Feng Hongxi's haggard face, which looked like he hadn't slept all night.
He must have been on tenterhooks all night, his anxious stubble had sprouted out, his face was pale, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.
"what happened?"
Seeing him like this, Gu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something had happened.
"Chen Haidao, Chen Haidao, he..."
Feng Hongxi wanted to say something, but he coughed a few times. A hand that was obviously a woman's from the side stretched out and handed him a glass of water.
After taking the water, Feng Hongxi took a big sip.
"Chen Haidao, what's wrong with him?"
Gu Zhuo was also a little anxious and urged Feng Hongxi.
"He hacked that batch!"
The most worrying thing happened. That guy Chen Haidao really hacked the goods!
"Boss Feng, don't worry, I'm right near the Salt Lake Prison. I thought of this situation yesterday, so I didn't go far. Don't worry, I'll rush over immediately to help you get that batch of goods back."
Fortunately, Gu Zhuo had thought of this possibility and had already made preparations. He immediately went to the cab and rushed to the Salt Lake Prison.
"Gu Zhuo, this matter is very strange, not as simple as you think!"
Feng Hongxi waved his hand, but couldn't say what he wanted to say. In the end, it turned into a sigh on his lips,
"Forget it, I can't tell. It's better for you to rush over and take a look. Maybe you can find something. When you arrive, call me immediately."
"I see."
Gu Zhuo nodded and hung up the video.
After watching him hang up the video, Chaoying came over from behind.
She heard the conversation between the two of them just now, and saw Gu Zhuo rushing to the cab in a hurry. She didn't say anything more, and just like before, she silently sat in his passenger seat.
Gu Zhuo drove the Doomsday Fortress and rushed to the Salt Lake Prison.
He didn't know what the strange situation Feng Hongxi was talking about was, but judging from his expression, it seemed that this matter was not trivial, and it was beyond his understanding.
Gu Zhuo had a slight bad premonition in his heart. This premonition became stronger as he got closer to the Salt Lake Prison.
Finally, when he drove to the Salt Lake Prison based on yesterday's memory, he finally understood what Feng Hongxi meant.
I saw that the huge prison seemed to have evaporated out of thin air at this moment, disappearing across the entire desert!
The prison door is gone, the weeping human sculpture is gone, nothing!
There were only a few corpses left on the ground yesterday, and a few people sitting on the ground making a bonfire.
"what happened!?"
Gu Zhuo was a little surprised. He looked at the navigation and confirmed that this was the original Salt Lake Prison.
His memory will make mistakes, but his navigation will not.
But after one night, how could there be only a few people making bonfires in such a big prison?
Even if it is burned down by fire or blown up, there must still be some ruins left.
Gu Zhuo drove the Doomsday Fortress around in disbelief for many times, and finally he was able to confirm one fact:
The Salt Lake Prison really disappeared out of thin air!
