"Alright, here it is."

"What is this place?" Natasha stopped.

"I don't know what to say." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and pointed to a waterfall in front of him, "Behind that waterfall, there should be a cave." ”

Natasha nodded and ran towards the waterfall.

Sure enough, behind the waterfall was a cave.

Zhang Xiaogang did not lie on Natasha's back anymore, but walked to the front and took Natasha into the depths of the cave.

"That's it, it should be almost."

"Where?"

"Over there." Zhang Xiaogang pointed to a narrow corner. "This thing should be able to withstand the weight of the rocks, right?"

"Don't worry, I can't deform it with all my strength, it's sure to be strong enough." Natasha put the "coffin" in the place designated by Zhang Xiaogang. "That's it?"

"Get some rocks and plug this slit." Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said, "By the way, if Lao Chu wakes up one day, how will he come out of it?" ”

Natasha smiled and said, "Just thinking of it now? The electrical system has a device that measures brain waves, and when he wakes up, it will activate the explosive cord mounted on the edge, and directly blow up the panel. Subsequently, the aerosol inside will rapidly expand outward, pushing away objects on the outside. Melanie and Lao Luo have thought of this for a long time, if they are as confused as you, this will really become a 'coffin'. ”

Zhang Xiaogang scratched his scalp, looking a little embarrassed. In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to "steal" Chu Tianjiang from the scientific research base, and he has not thought about anything else at all.

Before long, Natasha found enough rocks to block the slit. Subsequently, she also used her superpowers to melt the surface of the stones into a complete stone wall, at least from the outside, while the inside was still scattered stones.

"How?"

"Can you make the stone walls look a little older? That is, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding rock wall. ”

"No problem."

After a few moments, under Natasha's treatment, the stone wall fully integrated into its surroundings.

Zhang Xiaogang checked it carefully again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he calmed down.

"No problem now?"

"No, let's go find Melanie."

"Lao Zhang, what are your plans?" As she followed Zhang Xiaogang towards the outside of the cave, Natasha asked.

"Plans? Not yet, but I hope to live another 100 years. Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "It's just that after doing these things, it's good not to be regarded as a traitor." ”

"You're not going to run away?"

"Where to run? Now that the whole world has become a country, and I'm just an ordinary person, where do you think I can escape? ”

"If you bring it up, Melanie and Luo will help you, at least make you as good as me."

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and said, "I did what I had to do, I didn't do anything wrong, why do I want to escape?" Besides, if that's the case, the professor and Melanie will be responsible. They are scientists, and their research in the next few decades will determine the fate of human civilization, and I am just a dispensable intelligence officer, and I am no longer of great importance to human civilization. If someone had to step up and take responsibility, it would be me, and I couldn't even bother the professor and Melanie for my own sake. ”

"But ......"

"Natasha, one day you'll understand why I'm doing this." Walking to the mouth of the cave, Zhang Xiaogang stopped and looked back at Natasha. "You are the most special, so no matter what happens next, you have to live, live to see the day Lao Chu comes back, tell him what happened, what we did. It's not for us, it's for Him, and we all owe Him. ”

"What you say is exactly the same as Melanie's."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Remember my words and insist on living." Alright, now take me to meet them. ”

"Lao Zhang, in fact, you can live."

Zhang Xiaogang leaned on Melanie's back and said, "Actually, I died once a few months ago. ”

"Died once?"

"You can read my memories."

Natasha was stunned for a moment, and then read the memory that happened in Yakutsk from Zhang Xiaogang's mind.

"Now, got it?"

"Lao Chu saved you?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said: "At that time, I felt that I was liberated, and I was finally liberated, but unfortunately, Lao Chu didn't let me die, let me live, and almost let me have eternal life." But since I am now an ordinary person, I will once again have a chance to be liberated. ”

"But...... Don't you care about your family, your wife, your adopted son, and the soon-to-be-born child? ”

"It's because I care about them that I have to sacrifice myself."

Natasha couldn't figure it out, and Zhang Xiaogang didn't explain much. Although Natasha is married to Luo Jinyong, her understanding of the family is not thorough enough.

More than two hours later, Zhang Xiaogang and Natasha arrived at the bar.

More than two years ago, Zhang Xiaogang found the drunken Luo Jinyong here, helped Luo Jinyong solve the lace troubles, and then let Luo Jinyong start serving the Planetary Defense Council. For more than two years, Zhang Xiaogang never came here again. After the catastrophe, the bar is still there, and it maintains its original style, which makes Zhang Xiaogang feel a little surprised. Returning to the original point, Zhang Xiaogang was even more emotional.

There were very few people in the bar, the reconstruction work had already begun, everyone was busy, and not many people came to the bar at night to have fun.

Seeing Zhang Xiaogang and Natasha coming back together, Luo Jinyong and Melanie didn't ask.

"A cup of two pots, give her a glass of soda."

"I'm already an adult!" Natasha immediately protested, "I want a two-pot head too." ”

Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and took out a cigarette. The waiter did not remind him that he was not allowed to smoke, even though there was a sign on the wall that said no smoking.

"Got it done?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and didn't say anything more.

After a while, the waiter brought two cups of two-pot heads. Zhang Xiaogang picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Lao Zhang ......"

"It's all over." Zhang Xiaogang let out a long breath and said to Luo Jinyong, "I have told Melanie all the arrangements. Lao Luo, I have only one request. ”

"What?"

"Help me take care of Xiao Fangfang and Wu Guoxiong."

"You ......"

"I won't pull you into this matter, and even if Mr. Yang and Old Yuan Zhilu say that you have a share, I will definitely not pull you in, because you are very important." Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I will take all the responsibility, and you have to persevere." ”

"No, this is what we did together......" Before he finished speaking, Luo Jinyong fell soft and fell on Melanie's body.

Obviously, Melanie made Luo Jinyong faint through consciousness control.

"Doctor, I'm sorry for you."

Melanie nodded, and according to Zhang Xiaogang's request, she cleared all the memories related to this matter in Luo Jinyong's mind, especially the memory of making the power supply device, because this part of the memory contained information related to the energy body, which would lead to unpredictable consequences.

At this time, Natasha stood up suddenly.

"They found it here?"

Natasha nodded, and just as she wanted to go out, she was caught by Zhang Xiaogang.

"Doctor, hurry up."

"Did you really decide to do that?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "This is a secret, and it is also the only way to protect you and the professor, we have sacrificed too much for this." ”

Melanie was not Luo Jinyong, so she didn't ramble anymore and helped Zhang Xiaogang clear all the memories related to the hibernation pod and the energy body.

"And Natasha."

"She wants it too?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Only in this way can we protect Natasha." ”

Melanie gritted her teeth and called Natasha over. Although Natasha was a little reluctant, she knew that this was the only way to protect Chu Tianjiang.

Soon, Melanie also erased Natasha's memories.

"Doctor?"

"I can't clear my memory, but I've set a logic trap, a logic trap that even I can't crack."

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said to Natasha, "Take the professor and Melanie away, let me stay alone for a while." ”

"Lao Zhang ......"

"Natasha, let's go." Melanie stood up.

Natasha gritted her teeth and left with Luo Jinyong and Melanie.

Zhang Xiaogang drank the cup of Erguotou that Natasha wanted, and went to ask for another bottle. When the waiter brought the wine, Yuan Dezhi came to the bar with a group of agents.

"Lao Yuan, don't say anything, I admit it all, take me back."

Yuan Dezhi gritted his teeth, then waved his hand, and asked the agents to drive all the people in the bar out of the bar, and then went outside to wait.

"What, you're going to let me go?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Yuan Dezhi sat down opposite Zhang Xiaogang, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"I don't know what to do."

"I don't know what to do?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Natasha helped me clean up all the relevant memories, and her superpowers are not below Melanie, so even if you find Melanie, you may not be able to recover these memories." Of course, even if it does, I won't tell you. ”

"You ......"

"Old Yuan, my task has been completed." Zhang Xiaogang poured a mouthful of two pots. "For more than two years, I have completed every task you have given me. Of course, I'm not shirking my responsibility for this, so take me away now and let me have a fair trial. ”

"You should know that there will be no judgment."

"In that case, grant me one request."

"What?"

"Let me be martyrs, so that Xiao Fangfang and Wu Guoxiong can live a peaceful life."

Yuan Dezhi let out a long breath and said, "You have already thought about it?" ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Yuan Dezhi didn't say much, he knew Zhang Xiaogang too well, so he knew that as long as he thought it was the right thing, Zhang Xiaogang would do it, and he wouldn't care about personal gains and losses.
