Chu Sui came to the station, and instead of Ni Yu, who was too busy with work to leave, he took An Xiaoyu and them out and placed them in the hotel near the station.

In the evening, it is naturally the time for An Xiaoyu and Chu Sui to catch up.

The two of them can be regarded as friends of life and death who live and die together, when they were deep in the mine together, two ignorant young people survived the difficulties together, and now the two of them have become successful people in their careers, and they naturally feel a lot of emotion when they meet again.

Wine must be indispensable, and Chu Sui also brought a girl over, happily introduced to An Xiaoyu and said: "This is my girlfriend, I plan to get married next year!" Pretty, right? ”

"Hmmm! Pretty tight, but it's useless to marry you, so it's better to marry me. An Xiaoyu said seriously.

Chu Sui's development in the past six months has been quite good, and he has a special team to innovate and transform the equipment used in the field, exploration and industrial use in the past. Of course, innovation alone is not enough, after all, these tools have been developed for thousands of years, how can there be so many loopholes for you to drill?

While buying field equipment, Chu Sui also used his first pot of gold to open a factory, specializing in the production of portable dry food and canned food in the field, which is a relatively conventional business.

Because the fame of the edible safety rope is too loud, so he directly opened the company to the provincial capital of Dongyun and set up a foundation here, although the company is not very big, it is famous but does not have much capital, so it is still in its infancy.

"Actually, you can develop something that is not an ordinary person, after all, now that the great world of cultivation has begun, compared to ordinary people, people with a little cultivation will get higher and higher, and most of the people who can achieve success in cultivation at this stage will not spare a little money."

"You mean to develop something for practitioners?" Chu Sui opened three bottles of wine and put them in front of the three people, and asked the waiter to come up and order.

They didn't go to any star-rated restaurants, nor did they go to any Dongyun specialty cuisine, but came to a barbecue stall, probably the reunion of old friends, it is this kind of atmosphere that can make them completely enthusiastic and release the joy of seeing each other.

In this way, a company boss and a young sect of the An family sat down at a random barbecue stall on the side of the road, first asked for two cases of beer, although there were countless skewers, and began to chat and drink at the same time.

Of course, although the barbecue stall is a barbecue stall, it is not open-air, and in the dusty weather of Dongyun, the open-air barbecue stall is afraid that it will not survive half a night.

Looking at the sky outside the glass room, An Xiaoyu said: "Yes, it is to make money for cultivators, there will be a leader in no era, but who is the leader depends on what opportunity you can seize, now the great world of cultivation has just begun, if you can think of what cultivators need when they travel, you will definitely go ahead." ”

"What exactly does a cultivator need?" Chu Sui asked.

An Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this, you also know, I am not an ordinary cultivator, and I haven't experienced the stage where they need external objects for a few days." ”

"Why does it always feel like you're pretending?"

"But in fact, cultivators who are not high in cultivation are actually not much different from normal people, but their strength is greater, and their views on this world are obviously different, as for what is different, I think you should find a few more people to ask."

"What you said makes sense, wait until I go back and find a few students in the cultivation hall who still like to go out and take risks to ask." Chu Sui nodded in agreement, feeling that An Xiaoyu's idea was indeed a good idea to make their company soar.

"You just have to know it, I'm not in business anyway."

"Xiaocui is doing public relations in our company, and when the time comes, let her help contact a few practice centers, and maybe you can find a few practice colleges to cooperate with experimental products in the future." Chu Sui reached out and hugged his girlfriend beside him.

His girlfriend's name is Qiao Cui, and she is a group of people who came over earlier in Chu Sui's company, when Chu Sui wants to open a company, naturally she has no connections and manpower, so most of the people she found are her classmates.

Some of his classmates are the same as him, what other jobs have they done, they are not very good at studying, and there was still some friendship with the same disease, and now I heard that Chu Sui wants to start a business, and there is also a reward to do the capital, so naturally they all respond.

Qiao Cui is one of the better people they were at the beginning, and she is still not married, and the girl does have a feeling of verdant dripping, a little pure, pure with a hint of inviolability, and it is indeed a good image for public relations.

And the foundation is also very rich, just at this moment, I have already drunk three or four bottles of beer with An Xiaoyu, and my face does not change and my heart does not beat.

"But then again, in the past six months, you have indeed changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you, if you weren't still wearing a ragged dress like before, I wouldn't dare to recognize you." Chu Sui looked at An Xiaoyu and asked, "Is it because of cultivation?" ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "People will always change, it has nothing to do with cultivation, do I still have to be the same as at the beginning, I will always be the stupid girl who just came out of the Eastern Wilderness?" ”

"That's just as well." Chu Sui looked at An Xiaoyu's appearance, and knew that she had also experienced a lot of difficult things, and even some of the truths she didn't know enough.

"But I wore this old clothes because I went back to the Eastern Wilderness, and the clothes in the city were not convenient, so I simply changed into my old clothes, or I won't be able to wear them in another year or two." An Xiaoyu stretched out her arms and gestured to the cuffs, which were already a little short.

An Xiaoyu's white little arm was exposed like this, making the eyes of several men on the table next to him look straight. An Xiaoyu glanced at them, and said to Chu Sui with a smile: "But what you said is not bad, the cultivation has changed me a lot, at least the skin is better." ”

Qiao Cui, who said this sentence, was heartbroken, and Chu Sui also touched her chin and said: "Should I also learn to learn things like cultivation, don't mention it if the business is successful, at least I can prolong my life." ”

"It is still normal for ordinary people to practice to the realm of a young master, and directly extend their life for thirty years, this is all the lifespan given for free, don't do it in vain. Do you want me to get two books of cultivation exercises for you to try? An Xiaoyu watched the barbecue lamb skewers come to the table, and the ones with their arms and sleeves rolled up were dry.

"That's a good feeling." Chu Sui also took two skewers and put them in his mouth to chew the meat.

"It just so happens that my brother has also reached the right time to practice, and I have been thinking about what exercises to choose for him recently, and when the time comes, I will take you to a test to see if my idea is wrong." Ann whispered a little thief and smiled.

"Am I the one who was experimented?" Chu Sui was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. The meaning of An Xiaoyu is already obvious, the degree of fit of the exercises is only for cultivators of the right age, and Chu Sui, who is in his seventies and eighties, does not need to worry about it at all.

"What you said is not right, in the experimental base, it was clear that I was the one who was experimented." An Xiaoyu said with a smile.

When Chu Sui heard this, he was very curious: "I didn't ask much about your emotional state at that time, in fact, I was very curious, what did they do when they experimented with you?" ”

"That is, I took some blood tests every day, then gave me all kinds of medicines, did some physical fitness tests and training all day long, and finally let me train to drive mechas. Later, I was taken out by Guan Jue, and with the destruction of that test subject, there should be nothing left in the laboratory, right? ”

Thinking about the situation at that time, An Xiaoyu's heart did not fluctuate, she felt that she was going to die at that time, she stripped naked, and drew blood, she didn't care about anything, and the reason for the silence was ...... The feeling is not particularly deep, after all, there is no painful feeling.

"You're really big-hearted." Chu Sui shuddered after hearing this.

In fact, An Xiaoyu noticed it a long time ago, when Chu Sui was talking about these things, he didn't care about Qiao Cui beside him at all, as if the matter of the Shahai base was not a first-class secret, and he could say it casually.

Chu Sui saw An Xiaoyu's eyes, smiled and explained: "You are in the imperial capital, you don't understand it yet, in fact, on the side of Dongyun near the Eastern Wilderness, the biochemical experiments in that base at that time were already known to everyone, but the officials didn't admit it, and everyone knew it." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and suddenly realized, this is the difference between the imperial capital and the locality, in the imperial capital, even if everyone really knows about it, no one will talk about these things on the bright side and talk about it on the barbecue stall.

"Later, after we left, those who worked as miners at the same time as me, and those who survived also ended their service ahead of schedule, and they were directly given full money and consolation money, but they were the only ones who didn't pay hush money, and they probably knew that they couldn't take care of it."

"Didn't you take three of the money, then?"

"Thanks to you, I did take three copies, otherwise my company would not have been able to have the current scale at the beginning." Chu Sui laughed: "People in other small companies call me a local tyrant, and I am also a local tyrant who is lucky, but they know a fart." ”

"Yes, they know a fart, almost all this money is exchanged for their lives, if Guan Jue hadn't sent me the Zero Formula at the beginning, I'm afraid the two of us would have died in the mine at that time."

"Speaking of the mine, I heard that the empire later sent someone to seal the base, and then the whole was demolished and rebuilt, it is said that it was because your train crashed back then, and the three thousand colleges put pressure on it, and the animals that found the sand sea began to be restless, so the entire base should be changed to a special military base." Chu Sui said while eating and drinking.

"Specialized for military use......" An Xiaoyu held a wine glass, a little in a trance.

She thought of the brilliant sunflowers on the top floor of the base, shining with dazzling brilliance under the sun, the color of years, the light of youth, with her and Chi Mo's figures, high in the sky, like a dream.

Now, however, those dreams are gone.

"I saw it once when I got home, and it was indeed being demolished." It didn't take long for An Xiaoyu to get rid of her original dream.

"I haven't been to see it, I don't want to go to the Eastern Wilderness again in my life, to be honest, I went to see them outside and the battlefield of the beast tide, and after reading it, I vomited for three days and three nights."

An Xiaoyu looked at Chu Sui as she spoke, picked up a chicken wing, put it on her mouth, and nibbled it fragrantly, rolling her eyes: "You don't look like you've vomited for three days and three nights." ”

"Spit and vomit, and get used to it." Chu Sui touched the cup with An Xiaoyu, and the haggard next to them carefully peeled garlic and peanuts, and then put them on the plate between the two of them, listening to their conversation with a smile, looking like a good wife and mother.

"Anyway, it was Ni Yu who picked you up at the beginning, but it was Guan Jue who walked together, Ni Yu suddenly came to Dongyun to be the person in charge, where is Guan Jue now?" Chu Sui asked casually.

"Guan Jue, now in the Ministry of Supervision."

"The Ministry of Supervision? What is the Ministry of Supervision? Which system? Chu Sui was stunned for a moment.

An Xiaoyu then remembered that not everyone can know about the Ministry of Supervision, so she explained: "It's the relevant department." ”

"I'll rub!" Chu Sui was shocked: "I didn't expect Guan Jue to be so powerful?" ”

"And Bai Amaranth, I went to see her sister, she mixed much better than Bai Amaranth, she worked as a secretary in the office of the head of the military commission, and a friend of mine gave them a guard at the door."

"When you were in the base, you seemed to be just a few of our friends?"

"What's more? I wasn't friends with Guan Jue and Bai Amaranth at the time, Bai Amaranth was okay, at least she was with me all the way in the end, Guan Jue has always been the one who was in the pit, but then I also went back to the pit. ”

"That's right!" Chu Sui slapped his head, and suddenly shouted loudly, only to find that he was too startled after calling, and looked at the people around him with a smile and turned their heads to continue to eat themselves, leaned forward, and whispered: "Do you remember your friend Zhang Shujie?" You told me that. ”

"Of course I do." An Xiaoyu didn't have any expression on her face, but she did sigh in her heart.

Zhang Shujie, a friend, although she has only had a friendship with An Xiaoyu for a few days, fundamentally speaking, she is indeed An Xiaoyu's first friend in the Shahai base, and her death is still because of An Xiaoyu's matter, which has always been a hurdle in An Xiaoyu's heart.

But Chu Sui said to An Xiaoyu: "You said that Zhang Shujie is dead, I believed it at the beginning, but just last month, I went to the area near the East Wilderness to buy goods, and I saw a person who was very similar to Zhang Shujie." ”

"Huh?" An Xiaoyu held the wine glass and looked at Chu Sui.

Chu Sui touched his head and said: "You know, I haven't met Zhang Shujie a few times in total, that is, I saw it when I was injured, and it wasn't her who treated my wounds, so what she looks like, I just have a general impression, when I saw it on the edge of the Eastern Wilderness, I almost cared about it, and then I thought about it and felt that it was too similar, but how long had it been at that time, and I couldn't find it if I wanted to find it." ”

An Xiaoyu wondered: "Is it really that similar?" ”

"It's very like, at least I feel like it, and it's hard to say whether I can get it for sure. But I can tell you where I saw people at that time, I remember there were cameras over there, and you're in a high position now, so it shouldn't be a problem to watch a few surveillance footage, right? ”

"This, it's really not a problem, but ......" An Xiaoyu was still a little hesitant.

Zhang Shujie is dead, this idea is almost An Xiaoyu's deep-rooted thoughts, and in the end, Chi Mo also confessed to him that it was because Zhang Shujie went to investigate their experiment, and after they found out, they directly took it to do the experiment.

As for the corpses after the failure of the test, all of them were destroyed, and there was not even any slag left, which was probably a situation of death without proof, and Chi Mo would not deceive himself.

But suddenly, Chu Sui told An Xiaoyu that Zhang Shujie might still be alive, which was a bit unacceptable.

An Xiaoyu really hopes that Zhang Shujie is still alive, but such a change makes her a little confused, and fundamentally speaking, she is still scared in her heart, afraid that Chu Sui's news will make her happy, after all, hope is disappointed or something, or the cruelest ending of reality.

Or another result, Zhang Shujie is really still alive in this world, and An Xiaoyu can really find her, what should she say when the time comes? Zhang Shujie went back to take the adventure because of herself, although she didn't know how she survived, could the two of them still be reconciled when they met?

An Xiaoyu didn't know, so she could only smile and say: "When the time comes, I'll take a look, if it's really Zhang Shujie, I'll find her no matter what." ”

Chu Sui nodded, he knew that Zhang Shujie's matter was still too big a blow to An Xiaoyu, so he didn't mention this matter anymore, and continued: "And the Crossing Beast you knew in the mine at the beginning, and later I asked someone to go there to look for it, but unfortunately I didn't find anything." ”

"Xundu has always lived underground, and it is a social creature, it is strange that they can find it, their favorite is soil and underground water, it was because my instant noodles are so fragrant, how can you still find it if you look for it, I have long followed the tribe."

The two of them talked and laughed like this, and they had been eating for a night, and the owner of the barbecue stall was a little stunned, how could these two people eat so much? He felt that his workload had suddenly increased a lot tonight, and his shoulder blades were a little painful.

When it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, An Xiaoyu said goodbye to Chu Sui, looking at him drunk, he was still happy in his heart, at least the friendship between the two of them had not been worn out because of the difference in their respective worlds, but had become more natural.

When they separated, they didn't have anything to give up, they got into the car, An Xiaoyu promised to pick a practice for him, Chu Sui also sent the place where he saw Zhang Shujie suspected of being Zhang Xiaoyu to An Xiaoyu's terminal, and the two of them went home separately, looking forward to getting together next time.

The moment she got into the taxi, An Xiaoyu's face with a smile instantly turned cold, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she looked at the time and place displayed on the terminal.

Looking out the car window at the scenery passing backwards, the sky in the east cloud has a reddish dull yellow.

After thinking for a long time, An Xiaoyu called Guan Jue.
