Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 63. Affection on the rooftop
The glowing ore on the rock wall reflects the light in the Devourer base below, creating a feeling similar to the bright starry sky, and coupled with the temperature regulation of the man-made ecosystem, almost every day in the base is the most comfortable and comfortable climate in spring and autumn.
At this moment, it was already nightfall, and after the core meeting of the third district in the morning, everyone was engaged in intense training, and in the evening, in response to Mu Chen's call, everyone rarely got together in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and had a happy reunion for the first time in the third district.
It's just that in the happy atmosphere of this reunion, only Zheng Zhong always has a trace of bitterness on his face.
You must know that in the past, Zheng Zhong, an optimist, would always put his arm around Ma Jie's shoulders, play everywhere, and be extremely generous, almost casually meeting Ma Jie's needs, and Ma Jie was also happy to rub Zheng Zhong's points, eating and drinking without scruples.
However, just after Mu Chen announced Ma Jie's identity this morning, it seems that everything has changed for Zheng Zhong, after all, Zheng Zhong has always regarded Ma Jie as his little brother, so he will take care of him without scruples.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and the exposure of Ma Jie's family background directly gave Zheng Zhong a loud mouth, because the current supreme commander of the Tario Council, the head of the parliament, is surnamed Ma.
It's just that everyone never thought that this pony could have anything to do with the pony who stood on the top of the sky......
Now the identities of the two are completely reversed, Ma Jie put his arm around Zheng Zhong's shoulders, and still went his own way back to his former self, but Zheng Zhong always couldn't twist this momentum.
Perhaps, under the impact of this identity mutation, at least Zheng Zhong, who has his own label of broken mouth, can be truly quiet and honest for a few days, right?
At this moment, Zhang He was silently leaning on the rooftop of the fancy bungalow, which was the place where the core team of the third district would gather privately in the future, and it was also Mu Chen's independent house in the Devourer base.
After all, as the top manager of the third district, Mu Chen deserves this privilege, not to mention that he also has a father who is one of the top ten councilors in the headquarters, no matter how you look at it, Mu Chen's future will be a smooth road.
After a slight glance at the lively atmosphere below, Zhang He smiled and poured a sip of wine into his throat, feeling the spicy and slightly bitter and sweet taste.
I have to admit that something like wine that can paralyze people's nerves and even make people forget their pain is really amazing, after the human race suffered a great shock of near extinction more than a hundred years ago.
Survival has long been a top priority, but after decades of rapid development, human beings are not as comfortable as they were when humans dominated the earth in history.
But the human beings in the Underworld Fortress can still live happily, and the reappearance of wine seems to be a kind of proof, which proves that human beings have the most tenacious vitality in the world, and at the same time, it also proves in disguise that human beings in the last days will live better and better.
Of course, at this time, wine could not be compared with wine in historical records, and its own value had already made wine a luxury, especially for ordinary people.
This can be called a rare item in Zhang He's eighteen years of life, if he hadn't become a devourer now, and the sturdy people around him were either rich or expensive, maybe he really didn't have the ability to taste it freely.
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxiao's voice sounded behind Zhang He, and then Zhang He felt that his arm was gently hugged by Mu Xiaoxiao.
A shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhang He shook his head lightly and said, "I'm just recalling the days since I was more than a month!" ”
"I used to have an ordinary family background, although I worked hard, but I never thought that I would make friends with your group of second-generation officials, plus my own wonderful experience, it seems that everything is too dreamy!"
Hearing what Zhang He said, Mu Xiaoxiao also sighed lightly and said: "Yes, I also feel a little unreal, after all, I am a few years older than you, but after meeting you, I don't know why I fell so much, I didn't expect that my feelings for you would be so hot, and I even did not hesitate to abandon the position of superintendent, and chose to follow you on the road of strengthening people to devourers!" ”
After Mu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he suddenly slowly leaned his head on Zhang He's shoulder.
Feeling the warm and soft delicate body around him, Zhang He took a deep breath, after all, Mu Xiaoxiao's feeling was not the same for him?
"Zhang He, do you know? There is such an unwritten rule circulating among the devourers! Almost everyone here, before becoming an official eater or choosing to become a eater, will get married and have children in the ordinary area, leaving a continuation of their parents! ”
"Did you see the pool team? Can you imagine that he is no more than thirty years old, and he is already the father of a pair of children? ”
Leaning over slightly to look at Mu Xiaoxiao's pretty face on his shoulder, Zhang He asked suspiciously, "Why am I hearing about this unwritten rule for the first time?" Could it be that the Nine Shades of Nature Eight Po Ye Shuang, who taught me how to induce the ability, is also a child's mother? ”
It seemed that he felt that Zhang He's speech was very interesting, Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled a little and said: "This is just based on voluntariness, and it is not forced, just like me, didn't I also choose a person who is a devourer?" ”
"Is the reason for this because of the terrible front line that has been rumored? I've heard ......"
However, before Zhang He's words were finished, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly withdrew his hand from Zhang He's arm, and then sighed deeply and muttered in a very soft voice: "What a complete big wood!" After speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao shook his hair and turned around and left directly.
It's just that just when Mu Xiaoxiao just turned around, Zhang He suddenly grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's arm, and when she didn't react at all, he pulled her back to his side.
Holding Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulders with both hands, the two looked at each other so closely for a while, at this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know if it was because of drunkenness, or because of Zhang He's gaze, a faint flush appeared on his cheeks.
The corners of his mouth pulled out a wicked smile slightly, and then, Zhang He suddenly imprinted his lips on Mu Xiaoxiao's lip flap, and in an instant, the two hugged each other.
After more than ten seconds, Mu Xiaoxiao leaned on Zhang He's arms delicately, and for a while, neither of them spoke, just quietly enjoying the breeze blowing on the rooftop.
After a long time, Zhang He suddenly chuckled and said: "I really didn't expect that when I was just eighteen years old, I found a girlfriend who could treat me like this, maybe it was my mother's blessing in the spirit of heaven!" ”
Immediately, Zhang He changed Mu Xiaoxiao to a one-arm embrace, and at the same time took out his necklace from his neck, and with a light press, the small metal necklace box opened, and inside was a photo of a family of three hugging each other.
"I don't know, if my sister Luo Yi knew that I was still alive and found a female superintendent who helped her as her girlfriend, what kind of expression would it be?"
Hearing what Zhang He said, Mu Xiaoxiao squeezed tightly into Zhang He's arms, and then said softly: "Although you are now a de facto devourer, the process of the candidate still has to be completed!" In less than a week, the joint entrance examination will be settled, and when you get the official status of a devourer, it will be the day you return to the ordinary area! ”
It's just that Zhang He shook his head lightly and said, "Although I have mastered the combat power far beyond that of ordinary devourers, is it really good for me to reappear in my sister's life?" Won't it bring her the same doom as her mother? ”
In the face of Zhang He's words, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't give any verbal answer, but just hugged Zhang He's waist again, and soothed his timid heart in the face of family affection with his soft body.
……
At the same time, in the lobby of the Azure Academy in the ordinary area, it is now decorated with whitewashed lights, and countless people in formal dresses shuttle through it, or laugh and talk together, or toast each other.
Tonight is the annual academic exchange meeting organized by the Azure Academy, when countless celebrities belonging to Underworld Fortress Six and the biggest names in the academic world gather together to jointly publish their discoveries in the field they have excelled in the past year.
After all, the scientific research direction of the Tario Council is more aimed at the military field, and after the Longyuan Consortium under its command has mastered all aspects of business control, many people with political backgrounds are willing to pay high taxes and set up their own business organizations.
Of course, there are many research institutions, and of course, the research fields they target are more in the direction of people's livelihood.
At this moment, a luxury car slowly opened the door, and a beautiful foot wearing red delicate high heels slowly fell, and the doorman reached out to help it up.
The beautiful legs that are as white as coupling on the lotus feet, the figure on the top can be called exquisite, obviously very thin, but there is a lot of flesh, and the body shape is very standard S-shaped curve.
Coupled with a well-made evening dress, this woman is invisibly set off extremely noble and elegant.
On the contrary, the girl who appeared behind her, wearing a dark blue tight-fitting evening gift on her body, made her always feel a little awkward, and even inadvertently twisted her body.
Although this girl looks more youthful than the previous woman, the girl herself seems to be very uncomfortable with this kind of occasion, so she tries her best to be as relaxed as possible, but in fact she still looks a little restrained.
"Is it the first time you've attended a party of this kind?" Suddenly, a man in a crisp white suit stood beside the girl, with delicately groomed hair and a faint smile, looking extremely handsome.
Silently glanced sideways at the man, the girl smiled and nodded slightly embarrassedly, she was Zhang Luoyi, the younger sister Zhang Luoyi who had always been missed by Zhang He, and today was her first day of work.
But I didn't expect to accompany the director to participate in such a formal academic exchange meeting, you must know that Zhang Luoyi, who used to live in an ordinary family, is still naturally beautiful.
But she has never been dressed up, and she hasn't even worn an evening dress, let alone the high heels on her feet at the moment, and that kind of walking will even produce a little shaky unsteadiness, which makes Zhang Luoyi cry and laugh in the depths of her heart.
