Chapter 006: Beyond the Dome
For the next few days, the atmosphere at home was a bit dreary.
Ling would go to play games with his friends every day, and the rest of the time would either be bored in the gym and constantly exercising, or spend most of the day in a daze at the Hero Monument.
He could actually feel that his mother, who would only appear on the TV screen, was a little clumsy in doing housework, but she really tried to take care of herself.
After that quarrel, his father Lin Xiong deliberately avoided him two days ago, but later he also tried to ease the relationship between father and son, trying to take the initiative to talk to him.
But Ling became a lot more silent in front of his parents, and his smile was much less than when he lived alone, and he kept his head down most of the time at home, always a little depressed and unaccustomed......
"Command ......"
Ling looked at the entry page of the computer, and the training department of actual combat and overrun direction was forcibly changed to the department of 'Operational Coordination and Tactical Command Research'.
I have to sigh that my parents, who are busy all the year round and are not by their side, still have this kind of energy, and the admission notice of the military academy can be modified at will, and he is directly transferred to the command department with the top three test scores......
It's not as simple as altering text with correction fluid.
The point is that there is no slightest wave in his work, and no one from the military academy admissions office even asks for his opinion!
The more Ling thought about it, the more he felt...... He probably has a fake father, the fake kind.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, sitting on the windowsill, looking at the familiar night street scene in the central area of Saint-Gall, the weather simulated by the dome is overcast to light rain, and the rain falling is pure and drinkable.
"Forget it, I've heard a lot of girls in the command department."
This can be regarded as a joy in suffering.
On the calendar next to it, the departure date circled in red is tomorrow, and I will leave the house tomorrow morning.
What is this home?
's mother is a first-line star who has led the trend for more than ten years, and she is a perfect woman without any scandals outside; His father was the head of a large business group, and he didn't know how to do it.
I've never been interested in knowing.
Throughout childhood to the present, it was the old man who filled his emotional needs; But it can't be erased after all, blood is thicker than water......
The gentle and smiling appearance of her mother also encouraged herself to survive one difficult time after another. When he collapsed from exhaustion, he raised his hand upwards and seemed to be able to touch his mother, who was shining on the screen......
I didn't sleep all night, and at five o'clock in the morning, I began to pack my bags, and there was a sound of gentle movement outside, deliberately moving lightly.
There aren't many things to bring, there will be custom uniforms at Gael's Military Academy, and you have to wear school uniforms over there. All he had to prepare was some personal belongings and a few light clothes, and considering that military schools had physical training, he had to bring a few more pairs of underwear.
Antibacterial and wear-resistant is preferred.
A suitcase packed Ling's salute into it, Ling took a backpack, and packed up the books he usually reads, a laptop, a favorite music player, and a few different styles of headphones...... That's all you need to prepare.
Knock, a soft knock on the door.
"Xiao Ling, are you up?"
"Mom, the door is unlocked."
The door was pushed open, and Mother Lin, who was already ready to go out, smiled softly, and her skirt fluttered in front of Ling.
"Come, the wallet that my mother bought for you, it looks good~" Mother Lin handed a black wallet to Ling, "There are a few cards that your mother prepared for you, and the password is your birthday, you can't go to work in the military academy, right?" Nutrition is also needed there......"
Ling hesitated and took the wallet.
Although he began to rely on his part-time job to earn pocket money in his spare time three years ago, those pocket money was not enough to support the salary of several nannies in the family, and he always relied on his parents.
So don't be hypocritical, don't mind...... When his parents are old, he is the only son, and of course he has to provide for them in old age.
"Alas, you're so old in the blink of an eye," Mother Lin sighed lightly and raised her hand to caress Ling's cheek, "I've always wanted to be a competent mother, but I'm always sorry for you more often." Xiao Ling, Mom is going to retire. β
"Mom, you don't have to ......"
"Mmmm," Mother Lin shook her head softly and said with a smile, "The time that has passed cannot be made up, but in the future, Mother will try to do a good job in the role of mother...... Is everything packed? β
Her eyes were a little red, but she chuckled and diverted the subject.
Ling's eyes softened a lot, and he nodded, not saying anything sensational.
When he left home, Dad Lin handed the admission letter to Ling.
It can be seen that Lin Xiong actually wanted to say something, especially when Mother Lin glared at him, but in the end, it became a sentence......
"Don't die in the army, I still have something to do for you in the future."
Mother Lin was about to beat someone at that time, but Ling nodded and smiled slightly, took the notice, mumbled, and turned around and walked out of the house with her luggage.
There was a car waiting for him below, and neither Mother Lin nor Father Lin could show up to see him off.
When the car drove away, Lin's mother stood by the window and covered her mouth and kept crying, and slowly leaned on her husband's shoulder; Lin Xiong sighed, looking at his son who was gradually moving away in the traffic on the street, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Dad Lin sighed with emotion: "This is fate, Xiao Ling is going to Gale too."
"Promise me, don't put him in danger, we only have one child."
"Well, it's all arranged, the command department doesn't have many opportunities for actual combat, and when he graduates, let him prepare to replace me."
"Is there really a time for our family of three to get together?"
"Yes, trust me."
Lin Xiong slowly closed his eyes, as if he was under inexplicable pressure.
β¦β¦
The car was speeding on the highway in the dome, and Ling looked at the light and shadow that kept passing outside the window, and the light rain that had been brewing for a long time began to fall thinly.
The dome is built on the outside of the huge high wall that surrounds the city, and the specific role of the dome wall is the second line of defense after the dome is breached, and it also bears the responsibility of opening the entrance and exit of the dome.
Approaching the high wall, the car began to slow down, and Ling, who had walked out of Gard City for the first time, leaned out of the car window and looked ahead.
There is an arched round hole under the high wall, and there is a colorful film of light in the hole, which is swallowing slow-moving vehicles.
"Master, please get in the car and close the windows tightly." The middle-aged driver who was driving respectfully reminded.
Ling Yiyan rolled up the window and asked, "Why?" β
"It's going to be very bright outside," the driver said with a smile, and the car drove into the colorful light curtain.
The light curtain was blocked by the roof of the car, but Ling felt a few warm rays of light passing through his body, as if he had been scanned.
Before I could react, a light suddenly flickered in front of me, and the view suddenly became empty outside the window of the car with heat insulation film.
A one-metre-high concrete wall was built next to the road, which did not interfere with their view.
Outside the car window, flying sand and rocks, endless bare fields, and a few small white dots fluttering with the wind.
Wilderness?
Ling turned his head violently to look, and the huge dome glowed in the sunlight.
Beyond the Dome!
This is beyond the dome!
Somehow, a surge of excitement churned in Ling's heart, as if he felt his heart beat violently a few times.
I couldn't wait to open the car window, the wind blew some dirty air, a little fluttering yellow sand, and the dry and hot temperature......
Suddenly, it felt like everything around me was real, not the adjectives outside the dome that were in the textbooks.
There is no air that can die if you breathe in it, and humans can survive without wearing chemical protective suits; There is also no radioactive material that is said to be very rich here, at least Ling feels very comfortable.
The hairs stood on end, and it seemed that every cell in the body was breathing, and the body was covered with dust...... Almost for a few seconds, Ling fell in love with the feeling of being outside the dome.
Wait until you're covered in mud and get excited, boy.
"Young master, Ma Shan has entered the airport, is there anything missing? You can always go back and pick it up. β
"No, I've brought all the documents and everything," Ling's mood was inexplicably brighter.
Instead of taking the congested road like those cars, their car drove on a side road, and soon pulled into the sentry airport.
Ling saw a few radar cars, two huge watchtowers that had been built, and the huge flying machine that he had seen in the book that could fly freely outside the domeβ
!
Stepping out of the car door, Ling was greeted by a strong wind with wind and sand, and Ling was forced to squint.
There was a noise overhead, it was a plane landing, Ling looked up and looked twice, and saw a ray of blue sky in a place where the wind and sand were not too strong.
This is, the real sky......
