"It's absolutely not going to work, I'm so busy all day long, how can I have time to participate in the Olympics! I'll find someone to take the registration down tomorrow! ”

Pang Xuelin said.

"Brother, can't you accompany me for a while?"

Yao Bingxia's watery eyes looked at Pang Xuelin without blinking, looking pitiful.

Pang Xuelin had a headache and said: "Xiao Xia, it's not that you don't know the importance of my work, no matter how fast the ice sled rally you sign up for is, it will take at least a few months, how can I have so much free time?" ”

Yao Bingxia said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to worry about work, I have already helped you ask President Du for leave in advance, and President Du also said that high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes have been mass-produced, and the graphene industry chain has been gradually improved. ”

"And the thing I signed you up was arranged by Principal Du himself, he said that you have been too tired in the past few years, just take this opportunity to rest and adjust! You are a member of the China Regional Science and Technology Commission, without the consent of the above, do you think that if I report your name, you can successfully register? ”

Yao Bingxia said triumphantly.

"Stinky girl, you ......"

Pang Xuelin was dumbfounded.

……

A month later, Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia set off from the Jiangcheng No. 1 engine for Shanghai in a heavy-duty electric all-terrain truck with equipment and supplies for the sled rally.

Every October, Pang Xuelin would drive Yao Bingxia out of the dungeon and go to Shanghai to worship his parents.

When he went for the first time, Du Jiaxiang was not at ease, and specially sent someone to follow.

Later, it was found that Pang Xuelin's survival skills in the ground environment were even more slippery than those sent to protect him, so in the second year, Pang Xuelin was allowed to travel alone with Yao Bingxia.

However, this time it was still different, and in previous years they would spend a few days on the ground at most and then go back.

This time, Shanghai is just the starting point for the two, who will travel across the Pacific Ocean and the North American continent to New York, and then take a plane back to Jiangcheng.

It is now the fifth orbital cycle of the Earth around the Sun after its departure, and the Earth is now out of orbit with Mars, and is expected to reach aphelion in three months and will cross the asteroid belt in the sixth orbital cycle.

Although planetary engines eject hot columns of plasma light to warm the atmosphere, the surface temperature still drops to more than minus 60 degrees, and the Pacific Ocean has been completely frozen, and ordinary people must wear thermal clothing to move on the surface.

It took nearly four hours for Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia to arrive in Shanghai.

Pudong New Area has become an ice field, the Oriental Pearl Tower, the World Financial Center, Shanghai Tower and other landmark buildings, only a few dozen meters above the ice field are exposed, within the ice field, you can vaguely see thousands of bodies stretched out, as if they are holding something.

These are the victims of the tsunami, and after the earth set sail, the earth froze, and this ice field became the eternal tombstone of these victims.

Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia first paid their respects to their parents on the ice field, and then went to the meeting point designated by the Olympic Committee.

The main reason why the coalition government decided to re-host the Olympics is that human life has been too depressing for more than 40 years, and in the era of building dungeons and planetary engines, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the project, the coalition government has to suppress cultural and entertainment activities and increase the working hours of all mankind as much as possible.

Now, the most difficult moment has passed, after moving into the dungeon, the work of human beings is not as heavy as before, and the number of people receiving unemployment benefits has gradually appeared, coupled with the haze caused by the solar helium flash crisis, in recent years, the security environment in the dungeon has some deterioration trend.

Therefore, the re-hosting of the Olympic Games after more than 40 years can be regarded as a great celebration for mankind and boosts the morale of the whole people.

Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia spent three days in Shanghai, waiting for the participants from all over the world to gather for the sled rally.

Finally, a starting gun sounded, and thousands of electric ice sleds, pulling their own supplies, started this long journey at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

Within a day or two at the beginning, Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia could still see the figures of the contestants in their field of vision, but after three days, they could no longer see anyone.

As the blue plasma light from the planetary engines on the Asian continent faded away, the two of them entered the eternal night, leaving only the vast starry sky and the infinite ice fields on all sides, as if their destination was the end of the universe.

An unprecedented sense of loneliness swept over the two, Pang Xuelin was okay, he had already had this experience on Mars, but it was Yao Bingxia, the first time to experience such a journey, after the freshness of the first few days gradually passed, the girl quickly became a little abnormal.

The most obvious manifestation of this abnormality is that he is becoming more and more attached to Pang Xuelin.

That night, the two set up camp to rest.

Not long after Pang Xuelin lay down, the tent made of graphene aerogel material was banged.

Pang Xuelin wrapped his body in a sleeping bag, only half of his head was exposed, and when he opened the tent, he saw Yao Bingxia standing at the entrance of the tent with a sleeping bag and blanket, shivering.

The cold wind slipped into the tent, and Pang Xuelin couldn't help but shiver.

"Brother, I'm scared alone, can I squeeze with you at night?"

"Xiao Xia, you ......"

Yao Bingxia snorted and said, "Brother, can you let me go in first, I'm about to freeze to death!" ”

Pang Xuelin had no choice but to let her come in first, and then pull the tent back on.

"Hee-hee!"

Yao Bingxia put the sleeping bag next to Pang Xuelin's sleeping bag, then took off his coat and got in, covered it with a blanket, and looked at Pang Xuelin with a smile on his head.

"Xiao Xia, didn't we say that we would have one tent for one person?"

Pang Xuelin said helplessly.

Yao Bingxia said: "But I'm scared alone!" The ice field is dark and cold, and the wind is strong outside, so you can bear to let me stay alone in a tent. Besides, the tent is so spacious that it doesn't crowd two people to sleep. ”

“……”

Well, you talk a lot, you have a point.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow and leave!"

"Oh!"

Yao Bingxia responded with some grievances.

Pang Xuelin closed his eyes.

But somehow, there was suddenly one more person in the tent, and Pang Xuelin himself couldn't sleep.

His mind was a mess, and all sorts of thoughts were growing like weeds in his head.

It was cold and windy outside, but it was warm as spring in the tent, and there was a faint fragrance faintly, as if it was the smell of Xiao Xia.

Yao Bingxia also seemed a little uncomfortable, tossed and turned for a while, and then said:

"Brother!"

"Huh?"

"Did you sleep?"

"Sleep."

"Why are you still talking to me when you sleep."

"I'm talking in my dreams!"

"Hmph, I'll ignore you."

……

After another moment.

"Brother!"

"Huh?"

"I can't sleep!"

"Close your eyes and fall asleep!"

"My eyes are closed, but I still can't sleep."

"I guess you know the bed, do you want to go back to your own tent and sleep?"

"Hmph, I'll ignore you!"

……

"Brother!"

"Hoo ......"

"Are you asleep?"

"Hoo ......"

"There is something that I have always buried in my heart, I have always wanted to say it, but I didn't dare to say it."

"Hoo ......"

"Then I'll tell you while you're asleep."

"Hoo ......"

"Let's get married......"

"Hoo ......"

"If you don't answer, I'll take you as ......"

"Hoo ......"
