01596 The light of hope (1)

June 1, 2151

Shelter No. 7, Chaoyang, Jinan, Shandong.

"Hey, do you think this is reliable?" Li Jinqun patted fellow countryman Yue Ronggang on the shoulder.

Before the "sun disappeared", both of them were breeders in the Jinan Ecological Planning Zone, doing the most ordinary jobs and raising a family.

Yue Ronggang was eating and he also heard about it.

Now the authorities want to build a new "refuge" in the North China Plain. It is said to be large enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people for generations. It is an alternative long-term struggle plan. But modern people are not stupid. After the "beacon fire" is lit, various

Almost everyone knows the condition of the shelter.

A shelter like Chaoyang No. 7 shelter with a moderate population, good infrastructure operation, and the ability to last another fifty years can be called a rare paradise in the world, so Yue Ronggang is very conflicted now.

He is forty-seven years old. He has not had much ambition since he was born and started working. He just wants to obey orders and arrangements and live his whole life honestly in the ecological park.

People who think like Yue Ronggang are no longer talking about it...but who would have thought that before they were old enough to have grandchildren, they would encounter such a catastrophe that has never been experienced in human history?

"This is not a question of whether it is reliable or not. If I go back and tell your sister-in-law, she will definitely have a fight with me." Yue Ronggang took the steamed bun, chewed the slightly sour seaweed, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Li Jinqun scratched his head: "That's right. I guess your brothers and sisters don't agree with me going... But, this organization has given a task to everyone to actively respond to the call. When it comes to self-improvement, a gentleman must think about future generations.

Leave a green shade for your descendants... You think, wasn't this a slogan almost two centuries ago? Why are we still shouting about it now?"

Yue Ronggang just laughed when he heard Li Jinqun's complaints. He didn't want to discuss it too deeply with Li Jinqun, or he was afraid that if he expressed his thoughts, he would cause conflicts.

indeed.

This recruitment order is very similar to the style of two centuries ago in both content and form. Many people shook their heads after hearing it. It has been two weeks now and few people have signed up. Yue Ronggang’s family

The son wanted to go, but he was put into solitary confinement after he told Yue Ronggang's wife once, and now he is still having trouble in the house.

Yue Ronggang lost his appetite inexplicably when he thought about it.

"When I'm full, I'm going to work." After saying that, Yue Ronggang stuffed the uneaten seaweed and the remaining steamed bun to Li Jinqun.

The food provided in the work area must be eaten or shared with others. It is never allowed to be wasted or taken back. Therefore, Li Jinqun has gained a lot of weight in recent times, most of which were fed by Yue Ronggang.

"Hello? Why don't you eat more now?"

Yue Ronggang waved his hand: "Not in the mood."



The work that Yue Ronggang is doing now is no different from that before "The Sun Has Not Disappeared", except that he has moved underground to continue production. Although the content of the work is almost the same, his mood is very different. Especially some time ago, Yue Ronggang heard that in Europe

Many of the refugees in India froze to death on the way to China. Recently, there have been reports in India that the basic ecological circulation systems of many shelters were damaged, and a large number of survivors were killed... Therefore, Yue Ronggang often has nightmares recently.

In the dream, he saw that he had become a refugee that no one wanted and no one cared about, walking confused in the ice and snow.

At this time, he would feel cold all over, and when he woke up, he would realize that his wife had taken away all the quilts. Recently, because the shelter was considering fighting a "protracted war", it would stop heating for a period of time late at night.

At first it was just a small scale, but now everyone seems to have no objections, and it has become a unified standard from top to bottom in the shelter, so people often catch colds recently, which makes the epidemic prevention staff in the shelter very busy.

Yue Ronggang's sister is one of these epidemic prevention workers. A few years ago, she took the initiative to apply to go to Xiongan. This time, it was no surprise that she applied to join the construction of the new "shelter". When she thought of this... Yue Ronggang was stunned.

I feel a little embarrassed.

When he got home in the evening, Yue Rong just saw that the door to the back room was still open, but his wife was sitting motionless at the door, just like a Buddha.

He smiled bitterly, put the food in the heating stove to heat up and started preparing dinner.

Yue Ronggang's wife Zhou Xuezi was originally a top student engaged in biological genetic research. When she came to the ecological zone for an internship, she somehow fell in love with Yue Ronggang, a man with no ambitions.

Maybe it's mainly because Yue Ronggang is very calm.

Zhou Xuezi always said that she would not have nightmares when Yue Ronggang was by her side, so regardless of the objections of her parents and teachers, she gave up her promising future to marry Yue Ronggang and have children, and gradually turned into a woman who worked hard for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

housewife.

"Come back?" Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten for a day. Zhou Xuezi's mental state was very bad now, but when she thought of her son going to build a "shelter" outside, the mother didn't dare to relax a little.

"Well, I brought you some food. When it gets hot later, you and your son can eat together." Yue Rong just finished speaking and was about to go out again.

Zhou Xuezi frowned and said, "Why go?"

Yue Ronggang turned around and said, "What are you going to do? Let's go to Li Jinqun's place to discuss something."

"What are we discussing? Are you planning to go out for construction? Let me tell you! Neither of you has a conscience! Okay! You go! You all go! Just leave me here alone! I still have

Can you enjoy the subsidy policy provided by the state!" Zhou Xuezi was a little emotional. She had a very bad day and night.

At first, Zhou Xuezi wanted to have a good talk with her son and persuade him to give up such dangerous ideas and just work honestly in the future, wouldn't it also support the country and the world?

But Zhou Xuezi's son Yue Xinlin came up with a bunch of truths and tried to persuade his mother.

He talked a lot about the common prosperity of humankind and the meaning of life.

Zhou Xuezi was upset after hearing this, and simply said unreasonably: "As long as you are still my son, and as long as your mother and I don't die, don't even think about going out like this!"

Yue Xinlin, who was only nineteen years old, was in adolescence, and it was normal to be rebellious, but it was impossible for him to really fall out with his mother, so the mother and son were exhausted.

In this family, Zhou Xuezi and Yue Ronggang's identities are interchanged most of the time.

Compared to Yue Ronggang, Zhou Xuezi seems to be more like a father.

Seeing his wife saying such words with red eyes, Yue Ronggang sighed softly: "I went to Li Jinqun to discuss how to bring Xiaoxiao back. As you know, she must have signed up, but as my brother, I can't

Watch her die."

Zhou Xuezi stopped talking. She sniffed and said, "Then wait for a while. Come and sit here for me. I'll eat something and then you can go out."

After Yue Ronggang heard this, he came back obediently and sat down.

Seeing his wife, who had been hungry all day and had not rested all night, devouring her food, Yue Ronggang felt distressed and at the same time felt at peace. He was a person who had nothing to do with the world, and the greatest gift that life gave him was peace.

He leaned against the door, thinking that his son in the room must also be hungry, but it was better to let him go hungry than to let him out.



In the room, Yue Xinlin was sitting on the bedside. The space was very small, but it made people feel very at ease.

He was holding a pamphlet, which was filled with classic quotes excerpted from "Quotations of Great Men". He looked at it over and over again, as if to cheer himself up.

After reading it once, he started reading it again from the beginning, over and over again, until he heard his father pushing the door open and leaving, until he heard his mother lying down outside the door because she was too sleepy.

Late at night, when Yue Ronggang came back, he found that his wife had fallen asleep and his son's door was still closed, so he naturally thought that mother and son had reconciled. Taking out the prepared food, Yue Ronggang knocked on his son's door and said: "Lin Zi

,have you slept?"

The room was quiet and there was no response.

Yue Ronggang sighed softly and said: "Lin Zi, I know you are full of energy, have ideas and courage, but the world outside is not like this underground, it is very cold and very dangerous... If you..."

Before Yue Ronggang finished speaking, his son's door opened by itself.

But the door wasn't opened by Yue Ronggang's son, it opened automatically without locking it.

Yue Ronggang was startled for a moment, then he opened the door and went into the house to take a look. There was no one from Yue Xinlin anywhere. There was only a note on his bedside with only one sentence on it.

"Dad, Mom, what I pursue is not freedom, but tomorrow."



When Yue Ronggang and his wife hurried to the uppermost area, the first batch of volunteers had already set off.

There were not many of them, only about two hundred people, but when they left the shelter, tens of thousands of people came to watch. Perhaps in their eyes, these people were "stupid", or maybe they just came to see them off and say goodbye.

These "heroes".

When Yue Ronggang squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and reached the front, he happened to see his son Yue Xinlin, who was wearing cold-proof clothing, boarding a snowmobile. He did not hear his father's call, but silently looked back at the sea of ​​people near the exit.

Then he withdrew his gaze and embarked on the journey.

When Zhou Xuezi rushed to her husband's side, most of the people seeing him off had dispersed. Some were sighing, some were praising, and of course some were laughing and joking, and some were even betting on the fate of these people.

Zhou Xuezi didn't care about that, she hurriedly came to her husband who was sitting on the ground.

"Where is the forest?"

Yue Ronggang said calmly: "Let's go."

Three simple words, but they hit the heart of Zhou Xuezi, a mother. Her lips trembled and she said: "Did you read it wrong?"

Yue Ronggang shook his head: "I asked Li Jinqun to find someone to verify it for me. The child actually had a physical examination before he came home to discuss with us. He just delayed his departure until today. He had already calculated the time."

Li Jinqun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.

Yue Xinlin is undoubtedly a smart boy, but now Li Jinqun would rather he be more stupid.

Zhou Xuezi was silent, and then in less than a second, tears burst into her eyes.

Without any extra words, Yue Rong just wrapped his arms around his lover and made a decision in his heart.

………………………………………………………………

"What?! You applied too?" Li Jinqun thought he heard wrongly.

Yue Ronggang, who came to hand over the work today, nodded calmly: "I made an agreement with your sister-in-law. I am going to take Lin Zi home. I will come back when I find him. I won't stay out for long."

Li Jinqun said anxiously: "Hey, Brother Yue, are you confused? It's so dark outside and the planned project area is so large. Where can you find it? Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Yue Ronggang smiled calmly, patted Li Jinqun's shoulder and said, "I'll have a drink with you when I come back."

After saying that, Yue Ronggang put both sets of work clothes into the cabinet, and then handed something to Li Jinqun and said, "The other thing is this. You've always wanted it, haven't you? Here it is."

It was an antique hifi music box, which Yue Ronggang always kept with him when he was working.

Li Jinqun felt very uneasy. He frowned and said, "Forget it, you'd better not set a flag for yourself. I'll keep it for you at most and return it to you when you come back."

Yue Ronggang didn't say anything else. He took a deep breath, looked at the place where he had worked for nearly five years and said, "Let's go."

Li Jinqun was a little reluctant to give up, so he came over and hugged Yue Ronggang: "Live well, brother, live well."

……………………………………………………

July 19, 2151

The third batch of construction workers arrived at the No. 1 construction area.

As soon as he got off the snowmobile, Yue Ronggang saw two giant octopus-like machines moving slowly on the great plain in the distance. Their mechanical arms were specially designed bionic machines that could protect against cold and frost.

There are more than a dozen oversized searchlights hung under the arm and bulging head, which are mainly responsible for providing lighting for the construction area.

The light falling on the ground was very similar to the spotlight falling in the dark theater when Yue Ronggang and his wife went to see the musical for the first time. However, under the light, there were bulging "bubbles" instead of makeup.

A heavily painted musical actor.

"Bubbles" are an idea thought up by a genius designer.

Use special polymer materials as the "bubble membrane", then inject a layer of cold-proof liquid that can automatically enter a semi-solidified state at ultra-low temperatures, and then inject oxygen and some inert stable gases inside, so a miniature "dome" system is created.

it is done.

These miniature "domes" are nicknamed "bubbles" and mainly provide shelter for construction workers.

Yue Ronggang followed the instructions and went underground first, and then rested there for a day. He waited until the next day for someone to come and take the people. They were all heads of various engineering teams. These people had been working in this area for nearly a month, and they had bad tempers.

That's pretty good.

Seeing the rows of volunteer builders who looked like newly enlisted soldiers, the three engineering team leaders glanced at them with cold eyes like instructors, followed by a bald head and asked loudly: "Is there anyone who knows how to weld?"

"Yes!" Four people raised their hands.

The bald head nodded, pointed at two of them and said, "You two belong to me, take your things and leave." After saying that, the bald head put on his helmet and led the others away.

The other two people in charge also quickly put forward their own requirements and selected the people they needed.

But at the end, when all the thirty people in the room were selected, and only Yue Ronggang and two other young people were left, the leaders of the engineering team also left.

Yue Ronggang was a little anxious. He was not anxious because he was not selected, but if he had been waiting here, when would he have the opportunity to inquire about his son's whereabouts?

But the two young people felt very lucky. They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Yue Ronggang wondered: "Why are you laughing?"

One of the young men said: "Isn't it worth being happy if you didn't get selected? It would be so hard if you were asked to leave just after you arrived."

Yue Ronggang frowned: "Didn't you come here voluntarily? How could you have such an idea?"

Another Huangmao said: "Tsk, if it weren't for my newly pregnant wife not having to work, I wouldn't be too lazy to come here."

Yue Ronggang understood after hearing this. It seems that some people really come here purely to earn subsidies from the state. So are there people like Yue Ronggang who come here to find their relatives?

Yue Ronggang shook his head secretly and thought: 'It should be gone...'

Another night, Yue Ronggang shivered from the cold in the cold room. The temperature here was estimated to be more than 20 degrees Celsius below zero. It would be fatal to fall asleep.

But there are regulations in the construction area, and saving energy is the most important task, so Yue Ronggang could only huddle in the corner and wait for dawn. The two young men who thought they had taken advantage during the day could no longer laugh. They kept shaking, and later

He started scolding, scolding the person in charge here, scolding the world, scolding his wife for being careless, and then she probably felt even colder while cursing, and then she calmed down like Yue Ronggang.

Staying up late is already very painful, let alone when you can barely maintain your body temperature.

So one of the young men asked Yue Ronggang: "Uncle, why are you here? You should be quite old, why don't you stay in the shelter?"

Yue Ronggang didn't have a bad impression of the two young men, but he didn't want to talk because it was too cold.

But it was too rude not to speak... so he said as briefly as possible: "For money."

"Money? Hehe! I didn't expect that there are people in this world who would risk their lives just for money." Huang Mao couldn't help but complain, and his words were a bit mediocre.

Yue Ronggang grinned, muttering in his heart, but he didn't care about it with his mouth.

Another young man said: "Don't talk about others. You came here just for money. We are all the same. This is our fate for the rest of our lives."

Huang Mao hummed twice: "If I had known I hadn't acted stupid during the day, maybe I would have been enjoying the hot drinks with the engineering team by now."

"It's popular to drink spicy food? What are you thinking! It would be great if I could give you a steamed bun so that you can sleep in a place where it's not so cold! It's popular to drink spicy food! Do you think you went to work on infrastructure construction?" with Huang Mao

The young man who was with me showed no mercy to Huang Mao when he was complaining.

Huang Mao sniffed and said, "That's okay, I'm going to starve to death, and I don't know if there will be food here. Are we really going to starve the three of us to death here?"

The other young man stopped talking, probably because he really ran out of energy.

Seeing that he was silent, Huang Mao touched him and said, "Hey, don't sleep. If you fall asleep in the cold, be careful not to wake up."

The young man said angrily: "I have to sleep even if I want to. Do you know that I'm starving to death?"

Yue Ronggang listened to their conversation, touched the spare dry food in his arms that his wife had prepared before leaving, hesitated for a moment, took out a piece of bread that was hard from the cold, threw it over and said, "Let's make do with it first."

Huang Mao was hit hard, but he didn't get angry when he saw it was food. He just smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. Hey, let's eat half of it each. Let's finish eating first."

After saying that, the two of them divided the food and started chewing it.

Yue Ronggang was not in the mood to eat. He listened to the rumble coming from the soil above. He didn't know what the scene was like outside at this moment, but he knew that this preliminary project must be the most difficult, and he was afraid that it would take more than one night.

If you start working, you may even risk your life.

I just stayed up all night with my eyes open.

On the second day, the heating seemed to be restored in the room and it was not as cold as before.

Huang Mao was breathing heavily, and when he was about to take a nap, the door opened.

Another thirty people came in, and this time there were many more women.

Everyone was quiet after coming in, except Huang Mao who was a little excited. He went around chatting up girls, completely forgetting that he had a family.

Yue Ronggang looked amused, but in his heart he was thinking that no matter who he needed today, he would have to fight to join the team.

But what is surprising is that on this day, twelve hours have passed since the new arrival, and no person in charge has come. On the contrary, the person delivering supplies came twice. Once brought water and food, and once brought

He said it was compressed rations that could only be eaten tomorrow, and told everyone to stay calm and not go anywhere.

Everyone is quite panicked. After all, the harshness of life outside is beyond imagination.

Fortunately, many people were prepared and had food with them, and everyone was from Shandong, so after a round of redistribution of resources, everyone had enough food and water to last three days.

.

Yue Rong just started to worry, and more bad thoughts came to his mind. Even if the room was not so cold because there were more people, and he could sleep for a while, he started to have nightmares as soon as he closed his eyes.

So he simply stopped sleeping and stayed up for another three days and nights with his eyes open.

Finally, on the fifth day, the new engineering team leader arrived.

And this time, he didn't ask for anything and just asked everyone to follow him.

Everyone was quite excited. After all, they were almost sick from being kept in such a small dark room underground. Now that they heard that they could go out, even if they were about to start working, everyone seemed quite excited.

However, the attentive Yue Ronggang noticed that the eyes of the person in charge of the engineering team were full of nervousness and uneasiness. He looked too young, like a newbie who had just taken up the post and was just pushed to the forefront by reality.

Coming out of the underground, only one of the giant octopus-like machines was left outside. The other one fell in the darkness in the distance, as if it was asleep or damaged.

Yue Ronggang followed the team and walked quickly in the darkness, surrounded by "bubbles" of different sizes, and the tinkling sound could be heard in each "bubble".

Yue Ronggang had no idea about the work he was going to face next. He had only been an ecological zone breeder all his life, responsible for planting some green plants or vegetables and fruits, and rarely even did some heavy work. Now he has to wear 20

Yue Ronggang could not imagine that the cold-proof clothing weighing many kilograms would work in the dark night at more than 120 degrees Celsius below zero.

Suddenly, a light flashed in the sky and the team stopped instantly.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the red light that cut through the sky and divided the night into two. For a moment, they felt a bit confused and dreamy. In the past five years in the shelter, everyone has become accustomed to following the route specified by the shelter.

Movement, life, and even social circles are strictly divided, so the scene in the sky has an unreal experience.

Huang Mao followed Yue Ronggang and said softly: "I almost forgot that we used to live under this sky."

Yue Rong just looked back at him, and then heard a loud "bang".

The earth was trembling, and the churning flames rose into the sky, turning into a ball of bright light and dispelling the darkness.

Everyone was frightened and looked towards the direction of the explosion in panic.

At the front of the team, the young person in charge shouted: "Lie down!"

Everyone couldn't help but obey immediately.

Yue Ronggang and Huang Mao found a bunker and hid in it. As soon as they hid themselves, layer after layer of brilliant halos arose in the sky. At first Yue Ronggang thought he was hallucinating after staying up for four days and nights, but

When he noticed that other people were looking at the strange scene in the sky with the same astonishment as him, he knew that he was awake.

So what is happening in the outside world?

Yue Ronggang didn't know. He only heard bursts of bursting sounds coming from the clouds. It seemed that heavenly soldiers and generals were fighting desperately in a chess game that determined life and death for mortals.

Therefore, Yue Ronggang gradually regained his composure. He was no longer surprised or even afraid.

The light and shadow flickered like thunder, and the louder explosions in the clouds lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally ended with the death of three or four sparks trailing flames.

Everyone stood up silently, their thoughts hard to express in words.

In the distant western sky, fires rose into the sky again, and then the halo in the sky dissipated, and everything returned to what it was before.

The ground no longer trembled. The young person in charge stood up with lingering fear and said, "Okay, it's okay. Everyone, hurry up and follow the team."

Huang Mao cowered behind the bunker fearfully and did not dare to speak. He asked Yue Ronggang: "Uncle, is there a war? I heard that those who committed crimes in Xiongan have not been eradicated yet? Could it be them?"

Yue Ronggang did not answer Huang Mao's question. He stood up and returned to the team.

Many people asked questions, but no one got an answer.

After entering the "bubble" and looking at the marked work area, Yue Ronggang knew that he was about to start exercising. However, the young person in charge asked them to take off their cold-proof clothes and put on casual clothes before starting.

Huang Mao disagreed and said, "How can that be okay? What if something goes wrong? It's so cold outside, why don't we freeze to death immediately?"

But the young person in charge said: "If you have the strength to work for twelve hours wearing such a heavy thing, then I have no problem with it."

"What? Twelve hours?!" Huang Mao suddenly exploded.

Everyone else was also very surprised.

Although I knew it would not be an easy job after I got out, I never imagined it would be so hard.

The young person in charge looked at the thirty-odd people under him discussing, and some of them directly wanted to argue with him, so he said calmly: "I fought for the twelve hours, you can either start now

Work, or go back to that room and see who will be willing to take you in."

After hearing this, some people stopped talking and began to take off their cold-proof clothes.

Huang Mao and his brother remained unmoved.

Yue Ronggang was worried that the things he brought would be discovered, so he put on the cold-proof clothes and started working. However, he felt very tired after only exercising for a while, and finally had to take off the cold-proof clothes to work.

The temperature in the "bubble" is not high, only a dozen degrees Celsius, but for Yue Ronggang it is already like a breath of spring breeze.

He knew that it was very cold outside, but it would not freeze people to death in an instant, so he took the risk. Seeing that Huang Mao and his brother were not moving, the young person in charge did not urge them, and just left them aside.

Concentrate on directing the work of others.

The work in the "bubble" is actually quite simple and quite boring.

It is nothing more than digging down at a designated location and piling the excavated soil aside.

Yue Ronggang and the others kept working, while Huang Mao and his brother watched the show. Four hours passed like this, and someone else entered the "bubble" where Yue Ronggang was. They came to deliver supplies, but there were no Huang Mao and

His brother's.

Huang Mao was furious: "Hey, what do you mean? If you don't work, you won't be given food? Do you want to starve us to death?"

The young person in charge said calmly: "Yes, if you don't work, you won't have food to eat. That's the rule here."

Huang Mao became anxious and went to grab it, but the young man in charge immediately pulled out a weapon and pointed it at the two of them: "I'm warning you! It's okay not to work, but you must do things according to the rules. If you work, you will eat. If you don't work, you will wait.

After work here, go back underground and wait, there is no other way for you to go."

Seeing the young man pull out his gun, Huang Mao and his brother did not dare to move.

Yue Ronggang sighed softly and continued working after eating.

After a while, Huang Mao also took off his cold-proof clothes and started working.

The temperature outside is still so low. In the "bubble" of more than 200 square meters, more than thirty people are having sex in full swing. Huang Mao, who has integrated into the group, is very active. When he introduces himself to the girl he thinks is interesting, he uses a lot of

a name.

Later, Yue Rong just found out that his real name was "Lv Shi'an" and he was from Tengzhou, Shandong.

His brother's surname is also Lu, and his name is "Lv Pinjing", which is said to be a strange name given by his crooked father.

Lu Shian was an image designer before "The Sun Disappeared", but he was below the third-rate level, that is, not in the mainstream... But he has always insisted on his own artistic creation style, often messing up his hair, like

The yellow hair he has now is considered relatively normal.

As for Lu Pinjing, this brother has a well-off family and originally had a good job, but he decided to start his own business and proclaimed himself a writer. As a result, after ten years of writing, he didn’t even have a hundred fan base, which is quite sad.

figure.

But what surprised Yue Ronggang was that they both found wives after the "disappearance of the sun", and their wives were both pregnant. After chatting, I found out that the two people who were once young, frivolous and ignorant were now in the shelter.

Serious militia reserve. Although he has never touched a gun, he has received some training.

Lu Shian talked a lot when he was working. When he and Yue Ronggang talked about the first time he touched a gun, they were even more excited than when they talked about the first time he slept with a girl.

"Hey! Uncle, you don't know that the gun feels cold to the touch, but the weight of it in the hand makes people feel very hot. It's a pity that I haven't done any serious shooting training, otherwise it would definitely

He's a sharpshooter."

Yue Ronggang just smiled and listened.

Lu Pinjing complained: "You are here, but you are still a sharpshooter? The bullets were deflected, and my good classmate had an uterine/ectopic pregnancy. If my wife hadn't been in the hospital, your wife would have been gone!"

When Yue Ronggang heard this, some ripples appeared on Gujing Wubo's face.

Lu Shi'an blushed and said: "Bah! How about you being uneducated? What does this uterine/ectopic pregnancy have to do with me? It was just an accident, okay! Besides! Be careful what you say before you take it.

My wife is joking, do you believe me or not?"

Lu Pinjing smiled, but it wasn't too much.

The working atmosphere is quite lively.

Yue Ronggang felt a little nostalgic, just like when the ecological zone was first built, when he went in to cultivate fields as a volunteer, a group of people worked together like this.

But the soil at that time was not as hard as here.

Lu Shi'an didn't eat, so he couldn't stand it after working for a while. He dropped his tools and sat on the ground and said angrily: "Damn, the ground here is as hard as iron, we can't find a machine to dig."

?Do you have to let someone come in?"

When Lu Pinjing heard this, he also threw away his tools and sat down. His hands were blistered when he dug them, and now they were in terrible pain.

The young leader of the engineering team is called Wang Dianhai. He said softly: "What we are doing now is to pave the way for the next step of the machine's entry into the field. Otherwise, it will mean how long we, the manpower, will have to build it. So, stop complaining and strive for it."

It will be completed in three days, and then we can go to the next area."

Lu Shi'an heard this and said: "Next area? What's the explanation?"

Wang Dianhai didn't understand what Lu Shi'an meant: "It's the next work area. What can you say?"

Lu Pinjing explained: "Oh, I just want to ask you, after we are done working here, can we take a rest over there and get some rewards or something?"

Wang Dianhai frowned and said: "As for the reward... I haven't heard of it, but you can definitely take a rest."

Lu Shian understood. He lay down and sneered: "I finally understand. This is obviously a big pit! It will be difficult to get out after jumping in."

Lu Pinjing also followed suit and lay down.

Upon seeing this, Yue Ronggang said softly: "If you two are really tired, go somewhere else to rest for a while, and don't hinder others."

Lu Shi'an and Lu Pinjing were about to move, but Wang Dianhai said: "You can't rest. These tasks have schedule requirements. If they cannot be completed in three days, it will delay the overall deployment of the project."

Lu Shi'an, who was hungry, said coldly: "A delay is a delay, right? Just milking the cows without feeding them grass? What kind of truth is this? I'm tired, so I won't do it anymore." After saying that, Lu Shi'an walked aside.

sit down.

However, Lu Pinjing whispered to Lu Shi'an with a little worry: "Hey brother! Let's not be so hard on him, he has a gun."

When Lu Shi'an heard this, he glared and asked Wang Dianhai directly: "Hey, I said I didn't work and wanted to rest. Are you going to scare me with a gun again?"

When it comes to guns, everyone is very sensitive.

Wang Dianhai subconsciously touched the back of his waist, and then said calmly: "Unless you do something you absolutely shouldn't do, I won't use the gun."

After saying that, Wang Dianhai went to Yue Ronggang's side, took over Lu Shi'an's work and began to work according to the markings on the ground that was as frozen as iron.

Seeing this scene and hearing these words, Lu Shian sat for a while and then said: "Cao!" and then returned to his post.

Everyone was silent and the atmosphere was much lower, but the work progress accelerated a lot.

Finally, twelve hours passed.

Everyone's hands were blistered, and some even bled.

Wang Dianhai prepared medicine for everyone, but when he handed it to them, he warned: "One for each person. This is the only time. You must keep it."

After getting the medicine, Yue Ronggang originally wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Wang Dianhai and find out about his son's whereabouts.

But Wang Dianhai was like a planned machine. When the time came, he started to urge everyone to put on cold-proof clothes and prepare to go back to rest after doing what they should do.

When getting dressed, many people were too tired to lift their arms.

Yue Ronggang is no longer young, even more so.

Fortunately, Huang Mao Lu Shi'an looked very irritated, but in fact he was still kind-hearted. Seeing that Yue Ronggang couldn't put on his shirt, he silently asked for help.

Yue Ronggang said "thank you".

Huang Mao just snorted coldly, not knowing what he was complaining about.

When he came out of the "bubble", Yue Ronggang found that the construction area was completely dark. The giant machine had also stopped working, and it also fell in the darkness in the distance.

Huang Mao seemed to have noticed this, and he sneered: "I don't know what this thing is made for, it's so useless."

Lu Pinjing was too tired to talk, but as he was walking, he suddenly stopped.

Neither Huang Mao nor Yue Ronggang, who were walking in front of him, noticed that Lu Pinjing was lagging behind.

In the darkness, the team walked away. It was not until everyone returned to their residence that Huang Mao realized that his brother was missing.

He immediately went to Wang Dianhai to report the situation. Wang Dianhai took this seriously, but did not allow Huang Mao to go out to find his brother Lu Pinjing on his own. Instead, he conveyed the situation to the guards in the construction area.

That night, all work in the construction area was suspended until the guards found Lu Pinjing's body one kilometer northwest of the construction area.

Seeing the body with separated heads, the guards looked solemn.

They did not bring back the bad news, but quietly disposed of Lu Pinjing's body on the spot.

In the dark night, an uneasy atmosphere filled the air, but Yue Ronggang and the others knew nothing about it.

On the first night of hard work, Huang Mao unexpectedly fell asleep.

Yue Rong, who had been awake for several nights, just fell asleep and didn't have any nightmares.

In the dream, he returned to his hometown. It seemed like it was still summer, with flowers and willows everywhere, and everything was so dazzling.
