Jian Aoqun's voice was loud, causing passers-by to look sideways and frown, looking unhappy.
Wu Di quickly covered his mouth, which was as broken as the waistband of cotton trousers, and said: "You are crazy! You want to die and I don't want to!"
Jian Aoqun was also driven to panic. He has been like a walking zombie these days, hiding here and there every day, without even having a decent meal, let alone a good night's sleep.
And all of this has nothing to do with what happened during the scientific expedition he participated in.
"Get out of here!" Jian Aoqun pulled Wu Di's hand away and turned around to leave.
Wu Di no longer bothered him, but still followed him.
The two of them quarreled from time to time as they walked through the crowd.
And none of them noticed that there was always a pair of bright eyes staring at them among the bustling crowds on the bustling streets.
…
At night, Liaoming City entered the nightlife state early.
There was a lot of entertainment and entertainment everywhere, and it was completely impossible to tell that this was a war era.
Xu Shiyaxing Republic has beaten the rebels so badly in recent years that every citizen of the Republic has not taken this must-win war to heart.
But Su Yao frowned secretly when she saw a group of drunken people on the streets of the city.
He couldn't help but think of the ambush and the tragic battle when the rebel base camp was breached more than a year ago.
Although the Yaxing Republic has achieved a leapfrog civilization improvement by virtue of its agreement with the old gods, and its military strength far exceeds that of the rebels, this does not mean that the rebels have no power to resist.
I still remember the first time Su Yao witnessed his comrades being shot to pieces by the girl beside him, he was stunned.
The girl was bounced away by the powerful recoil of the weapon. When she got up, she pulled the trigger expressionlessly.
At that moment, Su Yao realized death for the first time.
This war finally felt so real to him.
Although the goddess of luck favored Su Yao in the end, when the girl pulled the trigger, Su Yao took a step back subconsciously.
Now that I think about it, I am really blessed and blessed...
After the brief sigh, Su Yao got up again and followed Jian Aoqun and Wu Di in front.
These two missing persons have been wandering around the city all day long, and I don't know what they are wandering about.
What makes Su Yao even more puzzled is how could Liaoming City, which is under the unified supervision of Yaqiong Core and full of patrols, not notice two missing people wandering on the street?
This made Su Yao begin to doubt the true ability of Yaqiong's core.
I followed these two people all the way to the door of a handmade noodle shop.
Perhaps because he was so hungry, Jian Aoqun plucked up the courage and walked in.
Wu Di naturally followed, but neither of them had any money. Now they were guests as they walked in, and they were afraid that they would be beaten after finishing the Overlord meal later.
Su Yao also followed.
All three of them wanted the same food.
Sitting in a shop full of customers, Su Yao was distracted for a moment by a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles in front of her.
He still remembers when he and his grandfather lived together, sowing seeds together, harvesting wheat together, drying wheat together, kneading and pressing noodles together.
At this moment, this bowl of Yangchun noodles was really insignificant compared to the vast sky above his head.
But he always felt that even witnessing the withering of a star at the Alexandre Observatory was not as touching as his grandfather's amiable smile and the rise and fall of green onions in the noodle soup.
Su Yao, who has now become a steel knife for the Republic to quell the rebellion, does not pay much attention to eating on weekdays, so most of the time he simply replenishes his body's needs.
Sitting in the shop like this and eating a bowl of hot Yangchun noodles, Su Yao's tempered body actually started to tremble slightly.
His fingers could withstand extreme cold and heat, and Su Yao actually felt a little bit hot when she touched the hot bowl filled with noodle soup.
Su Yao has never felt like this.
In the past, to use the words of one of his deceased brothers, it was hypocritical.
Surprisingly, Su Yao did not reject this hypocrisy at all. He was even a little addicted to this rich emotional atmosphere, so much so that Jian Aoqun and Wu Di looked at him opposite him and ran away after finishing their noodles.
Didn't pay attention.
When the store owner caught up with her, Su Yao came back to her senses.
He got up and grabbed the boss, paid for the two hungry guys, and then followed him silently.
Jian Aoqun and Wu Di, who ran all the way out of the store, dared to look back behind them after running two streets. When they saw that no one was catching up, they both laughed happily.
It's just that there are tears in the laughter, which is really annoying and pitiful.
Su Yao leaned against the streetlight not far away with a drink, and above her head was the city bus system flying around like butterflies.
With dazzling lights and huge holographic projection advertisements, this cyberpunk-style city is transforming into the second half of the night.
Another name of "Liaoming" is "City of Drunken Dreams", and some people also call it "City of Sin".
This is because in the second half of the night on Mars, the overall style of this city, which is bright and bright during the day and chaotic at night, becomes gloomy and evil.
Those who never show up during the day and only come out to forage at night begin to slowly take over the city before dawn.
Jian Aoqun and Wu Di, who had been wandering around the city for several days, naturally knew this very well, so after they had eaten and drank enough, they stopped running around and chose a street with fewer people to head towards.
Walk to a dark, secluded part of the city.
Without the cover of the crowd, Su Yao could not follow them as carelessly as before. He opened his disguise and followed them like a ghost.
Along the way, Jian Aoqun and Wu Di still quarreled frequently.
But there was no point in the quarrel. Su Yao originally thought that she could find out Huang Jingnian's whereabouts without contacting them, but now it seems that it is impossible without some real contact.
…
After walking for about half an hour, the hustle and bustle of the city was far behind me.
Jian Aoqun and Wu Di actually found an abandoned shooting range to rest.
Huge abandoned battleships and chariots can be seen everywhere in this place. The ground is full of pits and water accumulates in many places. It is not clear whether the swaying light and shadow in the water is a living thing or a dead thing.
In short, ordinary people would rather stay in the city center and stay up all night than choose to spend the night in such an eerie place.
Su Yao knows Liaoming's shooting range best.
Because he had fought with rebel prisoners in this place in real combat, but unfortunately that was more than a year ago. Now this place has long become a place for rich people to vent, and there are no soldiers to see.
They are really bloody.
When Jian Aoqun and Wu Di finally stopped, Su Yao noticed that the place where they spent the night was quite special.
This is a fragment of a Wanderer-class interstellar cruiser. Judging from the main structure alone, it should be the second half.
The huge graviton warp engine became the shelter of Jian Aoqun and Wu Di.
Su Yao originally thought that he could see other "missing persons" here, but to his disappointment, there were only two of them alive here.
After walking for a day, Wu Di, whose legs and feet were swollen, slumped down on an old blanket and said, "No, I won't go out tomorrow. You can go alone..."
Jian Aoqun had this intention for a long time. He always felt that Wu Di was a burden, so he laughed and said: "I asked you to get out early, but you didn't listen to me. Now that you can't walk, you are still complaining here."
Wu Di lay on his back, not even having the strength to retort, and fell asleep after just a few seconds.
When Jian Aoqun heard her snoring, he stood up with a look of disgust and cursed: "Black pig! Bah!"
Wu Di did not move, sleeping as if he were indeed dead.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Yao planned to show up and catch Jian Aoqun and Wu Di to ask them clearly, but at this moment, two more people walked in.
When Su Yao saw these two people, he was stunned.
"Your uncle, who are you scolding?" I saw that the two people who had just entered were also Jian Aoqun and Wu Di, but they were more respectable than the two who arrived first.
The official Wu enemy who scolded her back looked at herself lying on the ground without any surprise, so she walked up and kicked her twice and said: "Hey, hey, hey! Wake up! You are still sleeping after being scolded!"
But the one on the ground remained motionless, completely ignoring her own injustice.
As for the scolding Jian Aoqun and the newly entered Jian Aoqun, these two clone-like existences said in unison: "Don't be convinced, look at you, you look fat!"
Wu Di, who was awake, was not happy and started arguing with the two Jian Aoqun with his hands on his hips.
Su Yao, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, was really dumbfounded.
What type of situation is this?
No matter how well-informed he is, he never expected such an unfolding?
Moreover, why do these two Jian'aoqun and the two Wu enemies get along so harmoniously?
Just when I was wondering, two more people walked in.
Fortunately, this time it was not another pair of Jian Aoqun and Wu Di, but two middle-aged men who looked slightly familiar to Su Yao.
As soon as they came in, one of the bald heads frowned and said, "You've been arguing all day and it's nothing, right? Do we still have time and energy to waste on this kind of verbal quarrel?"
When Su Yao heard this, she sneered in her heart and thought to herself: 'Here comes the peacemaker.'
I thought that the three people who were arguing fiercely would transfer their anger to the middle-aged bald man. Unexpectedly, the three people immediately became silent and stood together in a very polite manner, with their heads lowered, as if
Students who make mistakes and are afraid of being punished are the same as when they meet their class teacher.
The bald man said "Alas", as if he hated iron.
Another middle-aged man looked much kinder, and his dry physique was like a walking skeleton. Seeing that the three of them realized their mistake, he said: "Okay, don't be stubborn, tell me quickly, have you found that time rift?"
ah."
Time rift?! Su Yao's heart moved and she keenly captured a key word.
The three of them looked at each other in shock when they heard this, then shook their heads together and said: "No..."
The thin skeleton sighed when he heard this and said: "What can we do? What can we do..."
The bald man seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He frowned and said, "Lao Li, why don't we wait any longer and report the situation here quickly? Maybe we can still save our family."
The thin skeleton Li Xian is a visiting physics professor at Yaxing First National College. He is seventy-seven years old and is the first generation super human who has undergone basic transformation.
Su Yao's recorder has locked his identity.
Speaking of Professor Li, Su Yao felt that he looked familiar because he had participated in the strengthening and transformation project of the third generation super soldiers, and Su Yao, as the first batch of third generation super soldiers to undergo transformation, was naturally related to him.
He had a chance encounter.
I just didn't expect that Li Xian would be involved in Huang Jingnian's disappearance, and it seemed that the trouble they were encountering now was no simpler than Su Yao's.
As for the bald man, Su Yao also found out his identity.
His name is Cheng Huaili, the vice president of the First National College of the Yaxing Republic, and an expert in archeology and linguistics.
It was he who coordinated and facilitated the Mercury exploration operation, and it was understandable that Jian Aoqun and Wu Di, as his students, were so afraid of him. After all, they were their teachers.
But what happened to these people?
Missing on Mercury and then appearing on Mars, the whole thing is weird.
Su Yao remained calm and decided to continue observing.
Li Xian's face straightened when he heard this, and he shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not, isn't this equivalent to harming Lao Huang and his family of five?!"
Cheng Huaili sighed after hearing this: "Then...then we just keep dragging it on like this? If we can't find Lao Huang, we just hide like this forever?"
Li Xian was also in a dilemma. He glanced at Jian Aoqun and Wu Di and said, "You three, come here."
The three of them arrived obediently.
"Let me ask you one last time, after Professor Huang entered the ground floor that day, did any of you follow him and see what happened?"
The three people immediately shook their heads after hearing this: "No, no! We definitely didn't follow him, let alone lied! We really don't know what happened."
Li Xian's expression became even more sad when he heard this. He sat down and murmured to himself: "Early years ago, Lao Huang told me that in the eyes of higher-dimensional beings, time is a string that can be fluctuated at will. They can know destiny.
You can play with us ants at will. At that time, I argued with him and told him to read less ancient books and so on. But now it’s better. I really fell into the trap and found that I couldn’t get out.
……Why……"
The two Jian Aoqun looked at each other after hearing this. To tell the true feelings, they are the two who have the most say.
Of course, it also includes Wu Di... But now one Wu Di is sleeping to death, and the other Wu Di is still hungry, so he is not in the mood to think about this.
Cheng Huaili said: "Old Li, it's too late to say anything now. With the little knowledge we have on this matter, we are simply looking at the sky from a well, and we can't see why. So... I think it's better to solve the problem as soon as possible before the problem further expands."
Reporting this can be regarded as giving an explanation to thousands of innocent people."
Li Xian obviously hesitated when he heard this.
Cheng Huaili saw that his attitude had changed, so he immediately added more jealously: "Besides, we were the only ones present at the time who heard Lao Huang's crazy words. As long as we don't say anything, we will keep the matter in our stomachs.
Who knows about Lao Huang secretly communicating with the rebels? Moreover, this matter is just what he said himself, and he may not take it seriously. We only need to focus the report on the point of 'time', no matter
Is that the best of both worlds?”
Li Xian frowned. He had actually had such thoughts for a long time, but he didn't believe the people around him.
Perhaps the only one present who could really get along with Huang Jingnian was Huang Jingnian.
Not to mention that Cheng Huaili was always suppressed academically by Huang Jingnian. I'm afraid he has long been resentful. Let's just talk about these two incompetent students.
The two of them were able to follow a group of professors to participate in scientific exploration at the frontier entirely because of their relationship with Cheng Huaili. In addition, it was Huang Jingnian who almost kicked Jian Aoqun out back then. How could Li Xian trust them?
Therefore, after much thought, Li Xian shook his head firmly: "No, just wait, wait, maybe there will be a turn for the better tomorrow."
There was some pleading in Li Xian's tone when he spoke, but he didn't notice that when he shook his head, the eyes of several people standing in the room became unkind.
Su Yao saw it clearly. Although he was not aware of the entanglements between Li Xian and them, he had experienced hundreds of battles and already had a keen perception that ordinary people could not match.
Therefore, when the eyes of Cheng Huaili and others changed, Su Yao knew that they were going to attack Li Xian.
However, Cheng Huaili and the others were just ordinary people after all. If we really wanted to do it, they weren't that neat, so they still took a roundabout way.
First, Cheng Huaili agreed to Li Xian's suggestion, and then Jian Aoqun and his two men went out to get some clean water.
Li Xian, who had not washed his face or body for several days, his eyes lit up when he saw the water.
Cheng Huaili also said in a timely manner: "Okay, Lao Li, I know you love to be clean. You should wash up first and then go to bed early. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
When Lao Li heard this, he felt grateful for a while, and after a few polite words, he arrived at the bucket.
As a result, as soon as he picked up a handful of water, Jian Aoqun, who was standing behind him, took action.
"Ah?! You guys! Gudugudong..."
The two Jian'aoqun who were holding Li Xian's neck worked together to push Li Xian into the bucket.
Wu Di's face turned pale with fright, but she did not dare to say a word.
Cheng Huaili stood aside silently, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.
As for Su Yao...
He closed his eyes and sighed softly.
…
When Li Xian woke up early the next morning, he found himself lying on a large and comfortable bed with clean clothes on his body.
Somewhat inexplicably, Li Xian tried hard to recall what happened last night, and then he was shocked to realize that he should have died in that dark corner.
But now...
"Are you awake?" A cold voice suddenly appeared next to Li Xian.
Su Yao, who had taken off her disguise, looked at Li Xian who was shocked and said, "Don't look, they are not here."
Li Xian looked at the stranger in front of him. The moment his eyes came into contact with him, he felt an invisible murderous aura and couldn't help but subconsciously give way.
"Who are you?"
"A passerby." Su Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip and asked, "Tell me, where is Huang Jingnian now?"
