Chapter 20. The sisterhood is deep, there is no regret in this life, and the brothers are righteous and have no regrets in this life
Li Chang identified the owner of the voice as Sergeant Neil, the attack training officer of Quagmire.
"Is that you, Li Li Changchang?" Sergeant Neil repeated, "How did you get caught here?" ”
Li Yi couldn't respond, so he could only silently pray in his heart that the paralyzing effect would disappear soon.
Seeing that Li Yi was motionless and did not answer his questions, Sergeant Neil asked with concern, "What did those animals do to you?"
The same female voice sounded on the left-hand side: "You see that he can't even speak, do you still want to ask, the centaur must have cut out his tongue." It's pathetic. ”
If memory serves, the voice belonged to Leah, the lightning-fast Seraph with the shield.
"These animals have destroyed my homeland and injured my compatriots, and they will not die well." Sergeant Neil cursed in a gruff voice, and before he could do so, he coughed violently.
"Don't talk, get some rest." A familiar voice came from the front, but Li Yi couldn't see the appearance of the voice's owner, this voice was gentle and sounded extremely comfortable, "Live well." ”
"From the day I joined the Seraph, I didn't want to live well." Sergeant Neil said heroically, but coughed even more violently, and he squeezed out a sentence intermittently: "Kill one to get back to the capital, kill two to earn."
"Alright." The gentle voice said, "Don't say such things, we'll wait for you to come back." ”
Li Yi finally remembered that the gentle voice belonged to Leah's sister Lydi, the defense trainer with purple eyes.
As soon as Lydi's words were finished, Li Yi heard the creak of the iron door opening, then the clanging of chains mopping the floor, then the muffled grunt of Neil, and finally the familiar sound of armor grinding on the ground.
"What's going on? Where was Neil taken? Li Yi was full of doubts.
I heard Leah say, "Sister, do you think he can come back?"
Lyddy was relieved, "Don't worry, he will definitely be able to come back, but he will definitely not be able to fight anymore." ”
"That." Leah paused, "I'll go next, I haven't fought a game, I have the best physical strength, I can hold on for more time." Maybe the Commander is on his way. ”
"Silly girl, it's not your turn to have a sister here."
"No, I can't. My sister has already fought twice, and she can't hold it. ”
"I'm fine. The first two games were very easy and saved a lot of stamina. ”
Leah's tone was slightly worried: "I don't know if the commander saw our distress signal." ”
Lydy comforted, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see it." The two commanders are so clever that they can kill even such a large water monster, so maybe they are already working on a battle plan. ”
Leah snorted and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see the true faces of the two commanders at the dinner."
Lydy said, "When you get out alive, make sure you see enough." ”
Leah's nose was sour, and it was not easy to get out of this iron cage alive.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I hadn't been reckless at the time, maybe we could have escaped."
Lydy whispered, "How can I blame you, as a Seraph, it is our responsibility to save civilians." Seeing that more than 20 people's lives are on the verge of self-preservation, it will definitely bring shame on the Seraphs and shame on the people of the world. ”
"But ......"
Leah was about to say something, but Lidy interrupted: "Silly girl, no need, but we have done well enough, worthy of the queen, worthy of our parents, worthy of the quagmire." ”
"But I'm ashamed of you." Leah pursed her lips and said, "From childhood to adulthood, we sisters depend on each other, and you give me everything to eat and wear." My parents died early, and you held up my heavens. Until we all grow up and join the Seraph, you are still like a mountain sheltered from the wind and rain. ”
"How can you say that, it's clear that you used your shield to block the sword for me......"
"But you used your body to open peace for me." Tears welled up in Leah's eyes, and her voice choked.
Li Yi was moved in his heart, and unconsciously thought of Li Weiji.
Li Yi is twenty-six years old this year, in other words, he and Li Weiji have known each other for ten years.
Ten years ago, in order to synchronize with the weather in the wild, each living area virtualized a blizzard through an environmental control system.
Virtual snowflakes, virtual paleness.
Li Yi looked at the randomly generated white hexagonal object on the wall and was fascinated: when can I touch real snow once?
People are afraid of moving thoughts, and when there are too many thoughts, they will be converted into actions.
Li Yi was no exception, he thought about the snow for the twilight, and finally couldn't resist the temptation in his heart, put on his long coat and walked to the edge of the living area.
The robot closely guarded the entrance and exit, and Li Yi, who did not have a pass, wandered near the entrance, and he could even see the white expanse of the field through the entrance.
"It would be more fun if I could roll in the snow."
This was originally a fantasy idea, but Li Yi was indeed lucky because he met Li Weiji, who was returning to the city late at night.
At that time, Li Weiji had lived in the orchard for two years, and through self-study, he had already conducted in-depth research on the control of fruit tree diseases and pests, and he wanted to continue his study in this area, so he applied to the Ministry of Truth for further study in agriculture, but the Ministry of Truth rejected his application on the grounds that his genetic potential did not match. In order to prove his determination to study agriculture, Li Weiji decided to go back to his living area to take the advanced examination for a subject that almost no one passed.
After walking for a day, he finally came to the entrance and exit, and Li Weiji, who had escaped the bitter cold in the wild, stretched comfortably.
While Li Weiji was stretching his waist, the robot's pincers pinched his Adam's apple, and Li Weiji obediently handed over the electronic pass. After a complete set of biosafety identifications such as fingerprints, pupil detection, and gene testing, the pliers walked to Li Weiji's waist, held it, lifted it, and released it, and completed the identity transformation in a blink of an eye.
Li Yi looked at this boy of his age and couldn't believe it.
It's no wonder that Li Yi can't believe it, because there are only two kinds of passes to enter and exit the wilderness, one is to compensate the peasants of the old era, and the other is to buy it on the black market for 500 million points of labor wealth, but this neat boy can't match either.
After hesitating for a long time, seeing that the boy was about to go away, Li Yi was impulsive and unbearable, and hurriedly ran to his side, shouting: "I planted this tree ......"
didn't wait for Li Yi to finish shouting the lines he learned from the film and television drama, and heard the boy laugh and say: "Do you also plant trees, what flowers and fruits, how many branches and leaves?"
Li Yi was in a cold sweat, what this person said seemed to be very doorway, and the more he pondered it, the more it looked like the black words in the novel, and he couldn't help but drum in his heart.
"If I get it wrong, will he kill me?"
"Probably not. The robot was on the side, and he didn't have the guts. ”
"But in the novel, it is said that this kind of person is ruthless and vicious, and he can do anything."
"Die and die."
Li Yi put his hands behind his back, stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Figs, no branches and leaves."
When the boy heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no." Now figs are grown according to the standard of 5 branches and 49 pieces, you may have planted the wrong one. ”
"Wrong...... Wrong? Li Yi's voice trembled a little, and the hand behind his back reached into his clothes and touched something solid, which calmed down a lot.
"Of course not."
The boy started from the beginning to talk about the cultivation techniques of figs, from planting to pruning and maintenance, from field management to pest control, and talked for half an hour.
The boy's mouth was like a river, interspersed with many interesting examples of scientific knowledge, and Li Yi listened to it with relish, his hands in his pockets, and his whole body relaxed.
After the boy finished speaking, Li Yi took the initiative to think and asked his own question: "According to you, there is a dead wasp in the figs we eat?"
The boy said, "That's right." Through the previous explanation, we all know that figs have flowers, and the part we eat is not the fruit, but the flower of the fig! The stamens of the fig are hidden inside and cannot be pollinated by the wind, and the wasps that help it pollinate need to climb inside the fig to pollinate the flowers. The female wasp burrows into the fig through a narrow hole and dies after laying eggs. Soon, its eggs hatch, in which the male hatches first, flies out of the fig, looks for a fig with a female wasp to enter, mates with it, and then dies. Female wasps fly away with fertilized eggs and pollen, starting a new cycle. Figs break down dead wasps into substances that can be absorbed by plants. That's why sweet and sour figs are so delicious. ”
"Hey, I didn't expect nature to be so interesting. Hey, no, what do you do, how do you know everything about this? ”
"My name is Li Weiji, and I am a farmer."
"I, my name is Li Yi, and I'm a butcher."
A farmer, a butcher, met on a warm snowy night on the edge of a lonely city.
The butcher's snow dream was revived again, and he asked the peasant to go out of the city and bring him a handful of snow, and the farmer did so.
The peasant brought a coat of snow, and the butcher stood up straight, and the snowflakes rose, and flakes of cold fell into his neck and fell in the eyes of the butcher.
"Whoosh~" Li Yi shuddered and laughed happily.
"Don't be beautiful yet, there are good things for you." Li Weiji turned into a magic site and pulled out a simple snowman.
"Snowman?" Like most children who never leave their living quarters from birth to death, Li Yi was amazed to see the snowman who only existed in text and video.
Li Weiji said instigatingly: "Touch it."
Li Yi hesitated to stretch out his hand, and after a moment, he shouted out the sentence "He's burning" in fear and excitement, just like Aureliano first touched the ice in "One Hundred Years of Solitude." ”
"Hey, hey."
"Hey, hey."
A giggle that dreams come true.
After smirking, Li Yi asked, "Do you have a place to stay when you return to the city late at night?"
"Nope."
"Then you go to live at my house."
"Okay." Li Weiji smiled brightly.
On the way home, Li Weiji told Li Yi many legendary stories of fruit tree planting, and Li Yi seemed to see a crack in his well.
Just as the two imagined that they could control plants to conquer the world, five wanderers quietly surrounded them.
These wanderers are outliers in the living quarters, and they always have a way to avoid the surveillance of [Deep Blue] and do illegal things. From supplying extra ingredients to buying and selling genetic identities, there's always something fresh to do.
Li Yi is not afraid of these wanderers, he knows that these wanderers have a bottom line and usually do not harm others.
Li Weiji was obviously encountering this situation for the first time, and he looked around cautiously, for fear that these strange people would commit some atrocities.
Li Weiji walked faster and faster, Li Yi had to speed up his pace, and the five wanderers also ran along.
After walking a few steps, Li Weiji seemed to have overcome the fear in his heart, he slowed down and whispered to Li Yi: "I'll drag them for a while, you run directly, don't look back, don't care about me."
Li Yi suddenly stopped when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "I often scoff at the scenes of sacrificing my life for righteousness in various literary and artistic works, but today's brother has made me feel it, hurry up."
Li Yi pulled out a pig-killing knife from his back and said loudly: "Brother, don't be afraid, if they do something wrong, I will fight to the death, and I will protect you."
The five wanderers chased after him, unzipped their jackets at the same time, and asked in unison, "Do you want a plate?"
Li Yi laughed out loud.
I only heard someone shouting in my ear: "Sister, sister, Li Li Changchang is crazy."
Only then did Li Yi react, and during the time he recalled the past, the paralysis effect was lifted.
Lyddy heard Li Yi laughing, so his tongue was not cut off, and asked with concern, "Li Li Changchang, are you okay?"
"Well, it's never been better."
Li Yi got up and smiled.
"It's important to keep the pain perception to a minimum."
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a grinning again.
As the paralyzing effect gradually lifted, Li Yi's injured parts of his body attacked at the same time, his teeth chattered, and he almost bit off his tongue several times.
"Your shoulder hurts?"
"Little things, just a little bit."
"It's no small feat." Lyddy said, "Your wound is so deep, it's easy to get inflamed and die." But there is no golden medicine here. ”
"Out of the way. I was born with a good physique, and no matter how serious the injury is, it will heal after just a little rest. ”
Leah interjected: "Nonsense, how can there be such a person. ”
Lyddy said in a solemn tone: "I have heard the older generation mention this kind of legend, some people are naturally suitable for fighting, they have a strong learning ability, and he only needs to look at others after three years of training; The body also has a strong ability to recover, and he will not die suddenly after fighting for three or four days in a row. ”
Leah said, "He's a pretty good learner. ”
Lydy's purple eyes twitched, and she said for a while, "Sister, do you still have a healing crest on your hand?" ”
Leah responded, "Hmm. It was going to be for Neil, but he didn't want it, saying he wanted to leave it for me to save my life. ”
At the mention of Neil, her tone instantly became dejected.
After more than a year of marriage, she always bullied this big man, but he always protected himself, and he didn't even want his life.
"If the legend is true, maybe we still have hope," Lyddy said. You give the healing coat of arms to Li Li Changchang. ”
Leah didn't think much about it, and directly threw a round piece of yellow clay in front of Li Yi's eyes.
Li Yi picked up the mud block, only to see a giant sword pattern printed on the front and a few lines of small characters on the back.
[Healing Crest]
[Passive Effect: Regenerate Life.] ]
[Active Effect: Heals self and gains resistances.] ]
[Resistance: Temporary non-activation of existing symptoms in you; The duration can be stacked. ]
Looks like it's a healing skill.
After reading it several times with the coat of arms, Li Yiqiang endured the pain and asked embarrassedly, "How to use this thing?" ”
Lydy made a pinching motion.
The shattered coat of arms directly imprinted the marks on Li Yi's palm, and a strange energy was stimulated in the marks, which rampaged through Li Yi's body, and the injuries all over his body immediately improved.
Li Yi exclaimed excitedly in the cage: "The effect is immediate, and the effect is outstanding." ”
"It looks like we don't deserve to die."
Liddy accentuated her voice, and the words "Fate" were full of power.
