The black-robed man's name is Gu Yun, he is only twenty-one years old this year, almost the same as Zhang Shujie, and he was a good friend of Zhang Shujie before, but the contact between the two was broken once a few years ago.

Gu Yun's experience is, to a certain extent, very representative of their generation. I started to study hard since I was a child, but because my talent was not high enough, and my heart was not dedicated enough to my studies, the results were not very significant.

When he was in junior high school, he met Zhang Shujie, and the two began to be at the same table.

Gu Yun belongs to the kind of person who is very late-maturing, and unlike An Xiaoyu's late-maturing caused by the simple growth environment of the Eastern Wilderness, Gu Yun is the kind of real late-maturing. When he was in junior high school, he didn't know what kind of feelings would be more than friendship between men and women, and he didn't know if the table mate next to him was good-looking.

It wasn't until he was in high school that Gu Yun began to understand the inner meaning of love, because junior high school had laid a good foundation, so he began to pursue Zhang Shujie.

The boy's first effort always seems clumsy and rude, Zhang Shujie, who was sought after by many boys in junior high school, obviously passed the kind of time when she realized that Gu Yun had begun to pursue her.

In addition, she and Gu Yun were originally very good friends, so Zhang Shujie was not too harsh on him, but just rejected his show of love, and the two still maintained their original relationship, although Gu Yunbin did not intend to give up, but Zhang Shujie knew that this kind of thing would never be made up for by effort and time.

It took Gu Yun three years to begin to understand this truth, and by the time he reached his third year of high school, he finally knew what kind of stupid thing he had done.

But for Gu Yun, maybe the three years of carefreeness, the three years of being able to pursue Zhang Shujie, and the three years of not thinking about food for Zhang Shujie's glance and smile are the happiest three years in his life, so that he will never regret it.

With the belief of no regrets, Gu Yun finally saw the relationship between the two people clearly in his third year of high school, he used his last strength, made the last effort, and worked hard for half a year before he and Zhang Shujie were admitted to a school.

It's just that Zhang Shujie's nursing major ranks quite high in that school, while Gu Yun's pheasant major is like dispensable.

After the admission results came down, he mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Shujie for a relationship again, and the result was obvious, and as he expected, Zhang Shujie decisively rejected his show of love, and then the two chatted together for a long time.

Gu Yun originally came with the idea of the last stick, although Zhang Shujie refused, but his heart was relieved. Maybe in his heart, he has actually become a burden to Zhang Shujie, and maybe it will become an obstacle in the future.

So after confessing this time, Gu Yun completely let go of his admiration for Zhang Shujie.

But what is more happy is that although the two people did not get together in the end, with many years of emotional foundation, the friendship between them has become deeper and has become each other's best friends, just like in many TV series.

However, this friendship did not last too long, Gu Yun directly joined the army from his pheasant profession for his future plans, and went to the border to support the front line, and since then he has been separated from Zhang Shujie. And because of the information control in the camp, the connection between the two people was also broken.

After joining the army, Gu Yun began to get in touch with cultivation, obtained the army's cultivation exercises, and it took half a year to get started, which can be said to be quite slow.

Moreover, he has also passed the best time to enter the cultivation process, and at the age of nineteen, he can be regarded as an upper-middle level among the newcomers in the team. In fact, he didn't think about how much he could make on the front line and how high his achievements were, he just wanted to mix up his qualifications.

Because in his hometown, retired veterans can be assigned to very good positions, with a high salary, and they will not be easily transferred, for people like him, it is actually quite a good life?

Or for those of their generation who don't have much talent, it's a good ending.

It was also with this idea that he began to support on the front line, carrying out some tasks such as construction and logistics, and there would be almost no danger, and he would not face the attack of the upper foreign race, and he only needed to follow the advance or retreat of the large army, and after five years of work, he could retire with honor.

However, things didn't always go as smoothly as people imagined, and at the end of Gu Yun's first year after participating in the battle, their camp was raided by aliens.

Gu Yun will never forget the fire that night, the entire camp was filled with gunsmoke and gunfire, and the screams of his comrades were in his ears. Looking at those terrifying figures in the firelight, Gu Yun finally couldn't help his enthusiasm, picked up his gun and rushed into the battlefield.

In the end, the raid ended with a defeat for both the alien and the Terran, ending the next morning.

After his first battle, Gu Yun was finally discharged from the army early because of a comminuted fracture of the shoulder blade of his left shoulder, and he still had hidden physical dangers after treatment. The empire gave him a large pension, gave him a medal of honor, and even rewarded him with all the cultivation exercises that he had cultivated to the master realm.

It is precisely because of this battle of life and death that Gu Yun seems to have entered the situation between life and death, the whole person's soul and body have been sublimated, and the cultivation speed after that is simply a thousand miles a day compared to before, plus he was arranged to a big city in the north to do logistics equipment scheduling, so it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

In this way, after working in the north for two years, someone in his hometown suddenly found him, saying that his classmates from high school were going to hold a class reunion and asked him to come over. You haven't seen it for many years, and most of them are about to graduate from college in one year, so you have to take a look.

So Gu Yun took a leave of absence, returned to his hometown, and saw Zhang Shujie who had not been contacted for a long time.

Zhang Shujie has become more beautiful and gentle, probably because of the nursing profession, her whole youthful atmosphere began to wear off, and she was replaced with a kind and warm atmosphere, which made Gu Yun's eyes light up, and joked that why didn't she insist on marrying her home.

Then Zhang Shujie complained that he hadn't given a phone call for so many years.

Gu Yun was actually quite embarrassed, after all, his future had already been decided at that time, and being assigned to the north was already the best fate for an injured and retired person like him, and the world of the two people would be farther and farther away, and they had already broken off contact before, and Gu Yun didn't think of continuing it.

Looking at Zhang Shujie, he could only apologize with a smile and promise that the two of them would keep in touch in the future.

It was that class reunion, you Zhang Shujie told him that after that, she would go to the team in the Eastern Wilderness for an internship, and after the internship was over, she would enter the nursing team of the Military Commission system and become a glorious war nurse.

After Gu Yun heard about it, she was actually quite happy, after all, Zhang Shujie was able to win this place, which was already their best chance at the university, if it was smooth sailing, Zhang Shujie would even be able to mix with the management and reach the peak of her life.

At the end of the party, the two agreed that they would keep in touch often, and they separated.

Gu Yun accompanied his parents at home for a few days, returned to his new home in the north, continued his boring work, and prepared to find a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law from the unit to marry, and take it home to his parents when the time came.

The connection between him and Zhang Shujie is really still maintained, after the class reunion, Zhang Shujie spent the winter vacation at home, and then returned to school, began to prepare her graduation thesis, and finally went to Donghuang for an internship, big and small, Gu Yun knew something.

Later, Zhang Shujie's contact gradually became scarce, and the time that normal employees of the entire Shahai base could contact outside was only once every two weeks, Zhang Shujie tried her best to write her experience into a long text in normal times, and found an opportunity to send it to Gu Yun.

This opportunity, or because she does not belong to the system, but belongs to the privileges of an intern from outside, and cannot tell any other low-level employees in the base.

Gu Yun also knew Chi Mo, Bai Amaranth and Guan Jue, these distinctive, giants in Zhang Shujie's internship base, and later, he also heard Zhang Shujie mention An Xiaoyu, mentioned this strong and lovely girl, and became Zhang Shujie's new friend.

Then it all went off.

Never received Zhang Shujie's summons again, Gu Yun was very panicked, he had already experienced it himself, and knew what kind of sudden danger the garrison army would encounter in the border places, in those places with bad conditions, and what kind of price would be paid.

Every time he thought about these things, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.

Could it be that now this kind of unfortunate thing has found his best friend Zhang Shujie again? Gu Yun thought about it, looking forward to when Zhang Shujie would be able to contact him again, and at the same time found the old friend who enlisted in the army at that time, the news about the nurse who went to Donghuang for internship in the hall.

Thinking about it, he felt anxious more and more, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, so he hurriedly resigned from the logistics side, left the northern city, and went to Dongyun without hesitation, expecting to get a little clue about Zhang Shujie.

And at this time, his cultivation has soared directly to the realm of dust in four years, although the exercises are very rough, and the path is a bit wild, but he can be regarded as a person close to a great cultivator, and he is confident that he still has some ability to protect himself.

So he found a casual odd job in Dongyun, usually saving money and using his time outside of work to inquire about Zhang Shujie, but he still found nothing.

But suddenly one day, Gu Yun was woken up by the sound of the terminal in the middle of the night, and it was Zhang Shujie's number! Gu Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly picked it up, but Zhang Shujie didn't say anything, just gave him a time and an address, and asked him to come over.

This address, right in the middle of the tribe!

"Zhang Shujie asked me to meet at a place in the middle tribe, I heard her voice was low, there seemed to be some wind, I don't know if I was running or taking a night car, in short, I felt that things seemed to be a little bad, so I came to the middle tribe in advance."

"The agreed place she gave me was a small hotel in the middle tribe, and it was illegal, the accommodation did not need to register personal information, and there was no terminal door lock, everything was the same as it was hundreds of years ago. I didn't spare any money and stayed in the hotel early. ”

"If Zhang Shujie really has something to do, then since she called me to such a secret place to meet, there must be someone chasing behind her, I have been staying in this hotel for a week, in order not to leave any hidden dangers for this meeting."

"For a week, I pretended to be someone who came here looking for a job, and I kept wandering around, pretending to be looking for a position to join, but in fact, I was observing the environment next to me and being wary of whether there was anyone watching the area."

"At the agreed time, Zhang Shujie really arrived." Gu Yun couldn't help but show a trace of distress on her face when she talked about this meeting: "I almost didn't recognize it, her whole appearance has changed, she used to love beauty so much, and she especially loved her skin, but when I saw her, her whole person was tanned." ”

"It seems that she has just come out of the desert of the Eastern Wilderness, and I see that her lips still have cracks caused by lack of water and exposure, and she is wearing a ragged dress against wind and sand, and her hair is messy, just like an ordinary desert traveler."

"I asked her what happened, but Zhang Shujie told me that this matter is too involved, she herself is already deeply involved, and she doesn't want me to be implicated, but she brought something out of the Eastern Wilderness, even if she dies, she must not let anyone else get it."

"So she gave it to me, and told me that it had to be kept so that no one could find or get it, and that maybe one day she would come to me again, and she would take it away, or tell me what to do with it."

"And maybe there won't be that day when she never comes back, and this thing will be completely silent." When Gu Yun talked about this matter, his face was very weird, with a kind of nostalgia, with a kind of distress, with a kind of unwillingness and loneliness.

"When I saw Zhang Shujie that day, the more I felt that my feelings about this matter were correct, in the days when she broke off contact with me before, she must have encountered something serious, she crossed the entire Eastern Wilderness, just to avoid the people who were being tracked down behind her."

"She is a girl's family, she has never experienced any life-and-death battles, she has just spent her youth like a normal person before, and now she relies on one person to come out of the eastern wilderness full of dangers and beasts, and she doesn't know what kind of effort she has to make."

"And the thing she gave me is the culprit of everything." Gu Yun said: "So I protected this thing, even if the other party caught Zhang Shujie, if I found that the thing was not on her body, I would never let her die, this is the only thing I can do for her." ”

She looked in a hurry, as if she could only spare a little time to explain the matter, and listening to her, it seemed that she had joined some kind of organization, and there were some people who were sheltering and helping her to escape.

"When the two of us met, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and after talking, I heard that there seemed to be two people living next door, so Zhang Shujie never said anything about it again, just said that I would lie on the bed with her and pretend to sleep."

"At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Shujie sat up from the bed, pretended to be angry, and said to me loudly: 'Boss, after talking about six hundred yuan for half a night, what is the matter with you giving me four hundred now?' ”

"I knew that this was a ploy that Zhang Shujie used to get out, so I cooperated with her and said: 'It's only four hundred, and you don't look at your appearance, take it away if you want, don't get out!' ”

Then we pretended to scuffle together, and finally Zhang Shujie gave me a reassuring look and slammed the door directly. I scolded the corridor twice, listened to the door panel for a long time, and didn't hear anyone chasing after me, so I was relieved. ”

"After that, I settled in the Middle Tribe, found an inconspicuous job, worked as a repairman in a repair shop, because I worked in logistics for a long time, so I was skilled, and I was soon regarded as a technical master in the repair shop."

"I rented a house with my salary, I hid the thing Zhang Shujie gave me, and never opened it according to her instructions, so after about half a year, I was always looking forward to when she would be able to show up again."

"Finally, one day, when I got home, I went into my house and found a note stuffed behind the crack in the door, with a time and a place written on it."

"Zhang Shujie and I have been at the same table from junior high school to high school, and I am naturally familiar with her handwriting, and even I can simulate her handwriting and write a few words by myself, and I can see at a glance that this note was left to me by Zhang Shujie."

"I'm naturally happy, not for anything else, just because Zhang Shijie is still alive is enough to make me happy. So I followed this time and found the café where we met for the second time. ”

"Seeing Zhang Shujie this time, she looks a lot more relaxed, she seems to be quite familiar with this kind of thing, there is no tension on her face, she just habitually observes this café and all the surrounding environment and people, and looks like a professionally trained person."

"She told me that if she wants to help her get back to her normal life, she needs me to help her do two things, one is to infiltrate this base and steal the results of the experiments here; And the other thing is to find you and put into your hands what she left behind last time. ”

An Xiaoyu's face did not change: "What is it?" ”

"A small black box."
