Like the wind farm on the edge of the sea cliff, the wind-solar hybrid micro-power station is also located on the east side of Foguang Island, close to the large office building construction site.

But unlike the office building, which is under construction, the micro-power plant was completed in February this year and is ready for use.

Outside the power station is a small garden with a pond, planted with variegated moons, and a few rare hedgehog trees. April is the hedgehog flowering season, and the trees that are more than one person tall are full of small pink flowers that are dense and snow-like, which is beautiful.

Worried that there were still zombies that had slipped through the net, Duan Whale asked Lin Youqing to follow behind him with self-defense tools. The two men didn't say anything, and walked into the garden on high alert, not stopping until they were in front of the power station.

The gates of the power station were locked, and none of them had a key.

Today, this small wind-solar hybrid power station has long been able to operate automatically. Even the surveillance system installed in the garden can realize the function of remote anti-theft. However, according to the regulations, there will still be a watchman left behind on weekdays - just to supervise the people at the nearby construction site and not to cause trouble within the power station.

Now, the power station door is locked, which can mean two things: first, the watchman locks himself in the power station and waits for rescue; Second, the attendant had already escaped from Foguang Island with the key.

It was useless to guess, Duan Whale stepped forward and knocked on the door. But after calling for a long time, no one answered.

"Looks like it's gone." Duan Whale turned around and discussed with Lin Youqing, "Smash the window? ”

"That, in fact, there is another possibility......" Lin Youqing pointed to the construction site on the side: "Do you want to look for it?" ”

"Okay." Duan Whale quickly realized, "I'll go and find it, you wait for me here." ”

"Nope." Lin Youqing stepped forward, "I'll go with you." ”

Duan Whale no longer objected, and the two of them walked towards the construction site together.

On the edge of the barbed wire wall, the large wave of zombies that had been dealt with in the morning were still piled up on the ground. The only thing they hope for now is that there will be a zombie with the key to the power station gate.

Although this idea is somewhat unkind, there is no time for self-examination in extraordinary times. Duan Whale and Lin Youqing quickly walked to the pile of corpses and opened the corpses to find the key.

It's a coincidence, there is really a zombie in a gray power station uniform in the corpse pile, with a large set of keys hanging from his waist.

The corpses were heaped bloody, Duan Whale got the key and hurriedly beckoned Lin Youqing to evacuate. The two men returned to the gate of the power station and first washed their hands in the pond in the garden.

"Are you alright?" Duan Whale saw Lin Youqing's face pale, "Take a few deep breaths, don't panic." ”

"I'm fine." Lin Youqing shook his head and said softly, "It's better to open the door quickly." ”

It took a little time to find the right one among the stacks of keys. When the door lock spring was finally successfully turned, Duan Whale's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and he quickly opened the door.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, the fishy wind blew in the face, and a zombie locked in the power station actually rushed out!

Duan Whale was caught off guard, and when he wanted to lift the fire axe again, he was already a beat slower. It was Lin Youqing who was faster than him, and with a snort, the crowbar had already wedged into the zombie's head.

The crisis came to an abrupt end, and only after confirming that the zombies were no longer moving, Duan Whale turned around to look at Lin Youqing.

“…… I'm really fine. Lin Youqing's face was still pale, and he took the initiative to take several deep breaths.

The space inside the microwatt station is not too large. It is mainly composed of several units such as control room, battery room and inverter room. The two did not rush to check the status of the various places, but first carefully searched the corners of the power station to make sure that there was no second zombie left.

Luckily, the zombies appear to only attack humans and do no damage to the plant's facilities. The two double-checked the device again and came to the conclusion that it was possible to try booting the system.

Returning to the control room, Duan Jing set out to open the safe containing the spare boot key. Of course, he knew the initial password for the safe, and he entered it successfully once he entered it. He turned around with the key, but found Lin Youqing sitting on a chair next to him, looking at his hands, lowering his head and muttering something softly.

"What's wrong?" Duan Whale put aside his serious business for the time being and walked to his side.

Lin Youqing came back to his senses a little and looked up at Duan Whale.

"I'm thinking about a way to smoothly switch from grid-tied mode to islanded mode. If you cut the control device first, and then cut the load, I am afraid that the disturbance will be relatively large. So it should be cut twice first......"

"Wait." Duan Whale interrupted him, "You forgot one thing. ”

Lin Youqing seemed to be back in class, he tried hard to think for a while, but he still couldn't remember anything.

"What did I forget?"

"You forgot that the outer line has been blacked out."

"Ah," Lin Youqing reacted at this time, and looked apologetic, "I'm sorry ......"

As he spoke, he got up and prepared to walk to the control platform, but was pressed down by Duan Whale again.

"Youqing, you really don't have to apologize like this."

Duan Whale leaned over and looked into his eyes: "You've been doing a good job. Remember? You saved my life just now. ”

"But I didn't really realize the power outage. You mentioned it when you were eating; I even touched the light switch when I entered the house...... It was as if my actions and thoughts were separated, and for many moments, I didn't know what I was doing......"

The more Lin Youqing spoke, the more frustrated he became, and slowly lowered his head.

But Duan Whale held his cheek and forced him to look at him.

"Listen, it's not your fault. In the past few days, you have suffered a blow that others cannot imagine. But you don't have time to buffer, and you're forced to follow my day and night...... Youqing, you have done well enough, but I rely on you too much, knowing that you have endured enough, but I still keep pulling you. I am the one who should apologize. ”

His index finger gently stroked Lin Youqing's cheek. He found that the young man, who was nine years younger than him, had dark and slightly swollen eyes.

This kind of touch is so gentle, but it arouses the sadness in Lin Youqing's heart.

"I don't need any cushioning, preferably not even sleeping. You don't know that these days, as long as I close my eyes, I will dream of my parents and brother every night. I can't help but think about it...... Thinking about the fear and pain they may have suffered, I ...... I'll just ......"

At this point, he choked up.

"Cry."

Duan Whale hugged him into his arms: "If there is a spirit in the sky, your family will definitely be together now." They also can't reassure you, fearing that you will be overwhelmed in grief by losing them. So after crying, you still have to learn to be optimistic, let go of the things that have to be let go, you can do it. ”

Lin Youqing didn't respond, he buried his head in Duan Whale's arms, still docile and quiet. Only a closer look reveals that his shoulders tremble violently, and only occasionally make a sobbing sound or two.

Duan Whale didn't say anything anymore, just caressed his back and shook it gently.

It didn't take long for the sobs to stop. But Lin Youqing seemed to feel ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head for a long time.

Duan Whale could only smile bitterly: "If we don't hurry up and generate electricity, Dr. Du's medicine will be completely broken." ”

Lin Youqing woke up like a dream, quickly let go of his hand, and wiped the tears on his face.

The two worked together to start the DC power supply and the wind-solar hybrid power control system inside the power station, and then started the load in the Foguang Island Botanical Garden step by step.

Through Guò Hand Tai, Duan Whale informed Haichen and Lu Rulan in the distance of the news, while Lin Youqing had already packed up his mood and was ready to go out for other work.

"Wait." Duan Whale stopped him again, "Tonight, after dinner, go to the edge of the mangrove forest, I still want to talk to you." ”

“…… Why not say it now? ”

"You've got to let me brew first."

Duan Whale, who has always been unable to change his color when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, also had some eyes flashing at this moment: "For me, this is a very important thing. So you have to be cautious. ”

Lin Youqing, who hadn't come to his senses just now, seemed to understand Duan Whale's expression, and became embarrassed for a moment.

"Okay, okay."

He bowed his head in response, then picked up his tools and followed Duan Whale out of the power station.

In the small garden outside, the mozzus flowers that were brought to Foguang Island from the north more than half a century ago are in full bloom. Although it is not as cold and dry as its hometown, it still drives seriously and hard, as if it has transcended some invisible barrier and deeply fallen in love with this unusual land.

————————

The good news of "the micro-power station is starting to operate normally" finally came from the walkie-talkie, Lu Rulan didn't say a word, and raised her hand to shoot the light switch on the wall.

But one step faster than him, Haichen's hand had already slapped down. accompany

"I won!"

The young policeman stretched out his arms, made the classic gesture of winning, and then looked at Lu Rulan with his head held high.

"Well, whoever shoots the switch first, the house will belong to whoever owns it. You can't go back. ”

Lu Rulan rolled her eyes: "Cut, isn't it just a broken house, who regrets it." ”

"Yo, who said that just now - that room is big and airy, not far from the toilet, the scenery outside is good, the roof is still transparent, you can see the stars." Haichen had that provocative expression again: "However, if you want me to give it to you, it's not impossible to ......."

Lu Rulan really took the bait: "What do you want?" ”

"Fight with me, and I'll give it to you if I win."

“…… Who believes in you. ”

Lu Rulan didn't agree, turned around and was about to go out.

Seeing that he was not interested, Haichen followed and prepared to leave. Who knew that it was too late, Lu Rulan turned around and struck a hook fist, straight at Haichen's left cheek.

"Hey!"

Haichen suddenly became interested, and raised his hand to hold Lu Rulan's fist while turning sideways. Lu Rulan shrugged and sank, withdrew his hand, and switched his left hand to hit Haichen's left cheek.

This time, Haichen simply wrapped his fist in one palm, then twisted and lifted, and then managed to hear a series of squeaks.

"Get out! Get lost! Lao Tzu is in a bad mood and won't play with you! ”

The skills are not as good as people, Lu Rulan's face turned red, and the rabbit's eyes were faintly moist.

"Isn't that just trying to get a nice room for my brother? You don't see my brother like that, you won't let me ...... Why should I be bullied by you? Is it interesting that you're bullying me?! ”

The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became, and his expression was aggrieved.

Haichen hurriedly let go of his hand, and pasted it to coax him: "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, your brother will be fine." You said you had picked a room for him, and I'll give it to you. ”

“…… It's true? Lu Rulan's eyes were wet and bright, even if she rolled her eyes, she couldn't hate it.

"It's true!" Haichen just shook his hand and swore an oath.

"Cheng, then there's nothing for you here, just keep working."

Lu Rulan wiped her eyes and turned her face for a second, as if she was fine.

Now it was Haichen's turn to be speechless: "Why are you so good at learning, just like your brother?" ”

"It's all said to be brothers, what else do you want?!"

Lu Rulan opened her mouth, and her head flashed back to what Su He had said last night. He shuddered coldly: "My brother said you-"

"What did he say?"

Although Bacheng guessed the content, Haichen pretended not to know anything and looked at Lu Rulan innocently.

On the contrary, Lu Rulan was uncomfortable by him.

"Hey, forget it, carry the body away, and bring my sister-in-law's medicine boxes over and plug them into sockets to charge. We still have a lot to do! ”

"Are you sure Dr. Du is your sister-in-law, not your brother...... What kind of husband is that? ”

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person."

Lu Rulan still wanted to continue to raise the bar with Haichen, but Duan Whale's voice came from the intercom platform, asking them to come to the construction site immediately.

There are very important findings.
