25 Interstellar Takeaway
"There is still enough food to eat for more than ten days, and there are two more days to the place, how are the two of them doing in construction? Complete. "Shen Changwen is now trapped in all his energy on the ship, and other things can only be temporarily put in charge of Wu Xiaoqing, but Wu Xiaoqing's quality is ...... It's really reassuring, he has to keep an eye on the progress of the whole project at all times.
"I don't know much about engineering, but they've been in the excavator and they look like they're working all the time. Complete. ”
"These two don't behave out of the ordinary, right? Complete. ”
"No, it's pretty honest. When will I make formal contact with them, it's boring to be alone here, over. ”
Temporarily observing in secret for a period of time is the security principle set by Shen Changwen, this time can allow the other party to accept the reality that they are already in another world with a relatively "calm" attitude, if there is no buffer, the opponent is likely to transfer the fear of the other world to them, in that case, it will be very unfavorable to the cooperation between the two sides.
"Take care of it yourself, and if you feel that they are emotionally calm, you can always do so, and be careful to keep your distance. Complete. ”
"Got it, I'll tell you then, it's over." Wu Xiaoqing stood up from the hillside and stretched out a big lazy waist in front of the sun. Then he checked his pistol, grabbed his walkie-talkie, and headed down the hill - he was about to start his routine patrol for the day.
……
Wang Youquan and Xu Yan both had insomnia last night, and when the sun rose the next day, in fact, both of them were not in a good mental state, and they looked a little trance-like, but they both climbed onto the excavator together.
They worked for three hours in a row, and when they rested, the two of them just drank water separately and were in a daze. Xu Yan, who has always been able to speak well, has also remained silent, and when exchanging work content, both of them subconsciously dodged each other's eyes - they were both afraid of seeing fear in each other's eyes.
Only work, continuous work, can temporarily make them forget that they are in a completely unfamiliar environment, at least this excavator is familiar to them, at least they still remember that Professor Shen's promise - to complete the project, take the money home.
At lunch, the two of them were too lazy to cook, so they made a little self-heating rice to eat. During the meal, Xu Yan went to look at the diesel fuel they brought back, and said worriedly: "What if I run out of oil?" ”
"Professor Shen said he would send someone to deliver something to us."
"So how do you contact the other party? What if they forget? ”
"Don't think about it, let's get to work first."
The two put down the rice, got into the excavator, and were about to start their afternoon work when Wang Youquan suddenly saw through the window of the excavator that a figure seemed to be walking on the ridge in the distance.
He immediately ran out of the car and jumped excitedly at the figure and shouted, "Hey! ”
The figure heard his shout, turned to look at him, raised his hand and beckoned, and continued along the ridge.
Xu Yan also saw it, he made a trumpet shape with his two hands, and shouted at the figure: "Who are you!" Come and talk! ”
The figure stopped and shouted to them, "Wait! I'll come to you later. ”
The person listening to the voice seemed to be very young, not Professor Shen, perhaps other participants in the project. No matter who he was, at least his presence greatly relieved the tension between the two people.
At work in the afternoon, the silence that the two men had kept before was broken by this strange young man, and they began to chat, guessing the origin of this person, and began to guess the secrets of this planet, the role of their engineering. While chatting and working, both of them involuntarily pay part of their attention to the stranger.
He seemed to be circling around a few hills on the edge of the valley, not knowing if he was exploring the terrain or patrolling. It doesn't seem necessary to explore the terrain because they have a detailed construction map in hand, so the rest may be patrolling, what kind of environment will require patrols to ensure some kind of safety?
These cranky thoughts inevitably made the two of them uneasy. But in the end, it was much better than the previous one, facing the horror of the total unknown, at the very least, they now had one more of their kind, and this kind seemed to know the whole thing much better than they did. Otherwise, the man would have been crying and shouting and running to join them, instead of walking around the mountains like he is now.
When he comes later, their questions will be answered.
The shadow of the man walked and stopped on the ridge, sometimes going to the other side of the hill and disappearing for a while, just when the two of them were worried, they reappeared, sometimes they had been standing on the hillside, and it could be seen that he should have a telescope in his hand, and when he looked at them, both of them also controlled the excavator to wave at him, this action was obviously understood by the other party, and every time they saw it, they would wave to the two of them.
As the sun approached setting again, the figure had circled the valley a full circle and disappeared again on the other side of the hillside.
In order to welcome this stranger, Wang Youquan prepared to cook again in the evening, but the weather was not very good, the wind was blowing very strongly, Wang Youquan tried to make a fire several times but failed, so he could only give up, and the two of them sat in the excavator and waited while eating biscuits. Just as it was almost completely dark, the figure appeared.
What is surprising is that the other party looks very young, younger than Xu Yan, and looks less than twenty years old. His hair is a very non-mainstream yellow, slightly messy and a little explosive, and he is carrying a large plastic bag in one hand, and you can see that the plastic bag has the familiar word KFC on it.
If they had seen this outfit two days ago, they would only think that this was an ordinary, non-mainstream rural takeaway boy. But now, it makes both of them feel extraordinarily weird.
"Don't eat it, I specially helped you bring KFC," Wu Xiaoqing waved to the two people in the car who were munching on biscuits, "Go to your tent, it's too windy outside." ”
The quality of the tent prepared by Shen Changwen for them is still very good, plus two cars to block the wind, after entering the zipper, I also feel a little warm, and when the KFC family bucket is opened again, the fragrance wafts out, Wang Youquan and Xu Yan almost have a feeling of being separated from the world.
But neither of them was in a hurry to eat, all four eyes were staring at Wu Xiaoqing, Wu Xiaoqing knew that they wanted to ask themselves, and nodded: "You eat first, I have to go out to do something." ”
When the two of them were almost finished, Wu Xiaoqing came back, he had already eaten dinner, but he still picked up the remaining chicken nuggets and stuffed them into his mouth, after eating two pieces, wiped his hands, stretched out his hand and said to the two of them: "Hello, my name is Wu Xiaoqing, you are welcome to work." ”
Wang Youquan nodded stupidly, shook hands with this person named Wu Xiaoqing, and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Youquan." ”
Then Xu Yan also repeated this action: "My name is Xu Yan, Xu Xian's Xu, and he has faith in his words." ”
Wu Xiaoqing turned his body slightly, took out the walkie-talkie pinned to his waist, pulled out a little gap in the tent, let the antenna of the walkie-talkie stretch out, and then said into the walkie-talkie: "Professor Shen, we are together now, do you want to say a word to them, over." ”
There was a quick answer on the walkie-talkie, and it was Professor Shen's voice that Wang Youquan remembered: "Wang Youquan and Xu Yan, right, are you still used to staying?" Complete. ”
Wang Youquan leaned over, but he didn't know what to say, so he just stumbled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's ...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect it to be really ......."
"Can the progress of the project be guaranteed? Complete. ”
"Ah, yes, no problem, it's just that the diesel is running out......" Wang Youquan said very slowly, chattering, like squeezing toothpaste, and said a little when he thought of it.
Shen Changwen probably didn't have the patience to listen to him nagging like this, and said directly: "If there is any problem, you can give feedback to Wu Xiaoqing, and he will help you solve it, that's it, good night." Complete. ”
Wu Xiaoqing took the walkie-talkie, put the antenna away, then put it back on his waist, and said to the two of them: "Okay, my task is also completed, I just came to see you, and you think about it more." By the way, this is for you. ”
Wu Xiaoqing took out a megaphone from his backpack and handed it to Wang Youquan: "The communication here basically relies on roaring, call me if there is anything, I will come back if I am here, and if I am not there, I will have something to do." ”
"Something...... Wang Youquan asked cautiously, "Is there anything here?" ”
Wu Xiaoqing lowered his head and shook it: "There are regulations, I can't tell you, when you should know, you will know." ”
Wang Youquan was only worried: "It's not a crime, right?" ”
Wu Xiaoqing smiled: "No, it's a good thing to save people." ”
"Saving people?" Xu Yan was surprised, this answer didn't quite match his previous guess, "Isn't it a cosmic immigrant?" ”
Wu Xiaoqing didn't answer them again, just stood up and walked out of the tent. But soon opened the tent and told the two: "Oh, by the way, remind me that I try to stay in the car when I am working, so that it is safe." It's just the three of us, and Professor Shen might come too. If you see other strangers, such as primitive people dressed in animal skins and holding sticks, remember not to provoke them, and hide in the car, they will not dare to do anything to you. ”
"Primitives?" Xu Yan asked stupidly, "Is it an alien?" ”
"Sort of, but they don't fly saucers, and some of them are ...... Forget it, in short, be careful when you see strangers. But no, I'll be patrolling you every day, just to remind you, just in case. When something happens, I'll protect you. As he spoke, Wu Xiaoqing patted the pistol on his waist.
The two of them looked at each other, and both felt that the other person looked more scared than yesterday.
"Oh, also, you think about it, if there is anything to bring, it is better to make a list, we will reimburse the things for work, it does not cost money, if you buy it privately, it must be deducted from your salary. I'll get it tomorrow," Wu Xiaoqing scratched his head and thought about it, making sure that his tasks were completed, and finally said, "Good night." ”
