The Grey Age Chapter 24 Undercurrents are surging
Take out three pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and let the three of them put them on. Although the outside world has been dilapidated, subconsciously, our way of life is still normal.
This house is a two-bedroom, one-living room and two-bathroom, so normally, it's just right for the four of us, but now it's not normal at all, Dabin and Fei Fei are good to say, the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend, what's going on with me and Meiqi? .
"Dabin Feifei, you two live in that house, Meiqi, you live in this house."
I pointed to the second bedroom, and then to the master bedroom, and assigned the people in turn. It was all arranged, and I didn't see that they all agreed, so I walked straight to the sofa and sat down, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water.
"And where do you live? It's not going to be sleeping on the couch, is it? ”
Maggie asked me in disbelief.
I thought that Maggie would accept this distribution, but I didn't expect her to ask me such a direct question, which made me a little unable to explain.
"That sunspot, you still have a wound on your head, you can't sleep on the sofa, you have to rest!"
Dabin saw that I didn't open my mouth for a long time, and thought that I was weak and wanted to relieve me. After speaking, he still squeezed his eyebrows with me, what did he mean: "Dude, isn't it interesting?" ”
Dabin can really add to the chaos, I don't have those thoughts at all now, and Mei Qi and I can only be regarded as good friends now, how can we sleep in the same bed? Even if the outside world is so chaotic now, you can't just break the rules, right? So what have I become?
The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward
"That, you talk first, Dabin and I will rest first."
Fei Fei also felt this awkward atmosphere, grabbed Dabin's ears and dragged him into the room, smiling at us while dragging him.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Da Bin grinning and following Fei Fei into the bedroom.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, leaving only me and Maggie in the living room, plus a dog.
"Qi Mo, let's do it, I'll sleep with you at night, you have a wound on your head, I have to watch you, don't press the wound."
At this time, I was sitting on the couch, my hands clasped together, accompanied by the meaningless rubbing of my fingertips, neither agreeing nor refusing, and was hesitating.
At this moment, the general suddenly came up to me with a two-inch tail wagging, rubbed his two paws on my knees, and then landed on all fours, spinning in circles. I understand what this action means, and it wants me to follow it.
I slowly stood up and followed the general, but the general came to the door of the master bedroom, pushed the door open with two paws, and circled around the door with a big grin, which meant that I should go to the room to rest.
"Listen to dogs, don't listen to me..."
I looked back at Maggie, who seemed to be a little angry, muttered something and went straight into the house, opened the bathroom door, and took a shower.
I can't laugh or cry, what do you mean that those who listen to dogs don't listen to you, and I don't know what the general wants to do, how can this rely on me?
In the end, I still chose to go into the bedroom to rest, and at the last moment when the door closed, I vaguely saw that the door of Dabin and Feifei's bedroom opened a crack, as if it was peeping at me...
I sat quietly on a wooden stool in my bedroom, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, and my body was more relaxed than ever, if only the back of my head no longer ached.
After ten minutes, Maggie opened the door, with a bath towel tied to her head and a bath towel wrapped around her body, if this kind of scene had been before, I would definitely have nosebleeds, but now my eyes are at most bright, as for anything else, I don't think about anything.
"What are you doing? How do you sit here and go to bed? ”
Maggie said to me as she turned over and wiped the water stains from her hair with a bath towel.
"Ah, no, no..."
"Nothing? Have you seen enough? Isn't it good-looking? ”
"No.."
"Okay, okay, let's go take a shower, and rest quickly after washing."
I stammered and nodded and shook my head, a little unable to keep up with Maggie's rhythm, and finally just as Maggie said, quickly wash up and rest.
I stood up and took off my clothes with difficulty, for fear that the neckline of my clothes would scratch the wound on the back of my head. Maggie saw my struggling appearance, came to my side, and began to undress me lightly. I'm a little embarrassed, I've lived for so many years, except for my parents who helped me take off my clothes when I was a child, no one has taken the initiative to help me take off my clothes.
Maggie looked down-and-out and didn't have any other expressions. In the end, I only wore a small pair of pants, subconsciously covered my lower body with my hands, bent down slightly, and walked into the toilet with some embarrassment.
The warm bath water washed over and over my body. Standing in the bathroom, I finally straightened my back. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, I still can't help but miss my parents, the sound and smile keep echoing in my mind, I really want not to think about it, but I really can't control myself, there are so many things that happened this day, I am lucky that I didn't go crazy.
The heat was rising in the bathroom, my head was a little dizzy, and the wound on the back of my head was still aching. I was just about to reach for a towel to wipe the water on my body, when suddenly I felt the world spinning, and my eyes flickered and darkened. The floor of the toilet was full of stagnant water, and I fell to my knees with an unsteady center of gravity, but fortunately, in a hurry, my hands grabbed the edge of the toilet in time, and I was too badly injured.
"Qi Mo! What happened to you?! ”
Maggie heard an unusual noise coming from the toilet outside the toilet, and anxiously ran to the door of the toilet and opened the toilet door.
I saw me kneeling naked next to the toilet. Regardless of embarrassment or not, he came directly to me and squatted down, hugged me and tried to help me up, but I couldn't bear this longing anymore, and my eyes were fixed on the stagnant water in the toilet. I didn't expect that the meal I had with my parents last night would be the last meeting in my life, and I didn't expect that this last meal would be unhappily parted...
Night, very quiet. People who can't sleep for a long time in bed get cranky, and I'm no exception. When I close my eyes, my parents' faces keep flashing in my mind.
Maggie also couldn't sleep, I was amused by Maggie and my mood was much better. Maggie saw that I was finally smiling, and a slight slouched and happy smile appeared on her face. Immediately afterward, Maggie helped me wrap the quilt tightly and help me sleep. Then she rolled over, and we were back to back, and we began to spend the long night.
Paula & Co. Celestial Surveillance Department
In a super-large laboratory filled with various astronomical detectors, dozens of interior workers in overalls with a "B" pattern printed on their chests are constantly busy in their respective positions. In front of them is a huge curved display screen, on which rows of words have never been touched in our human world are neatly listed. These characters are very similar to the ancient oracle bone inscriptions in China, but they are not the same.
"Minister Tong! Minister Tong! I've received a signal from the depths of the universe! ”
Suddenly, a young staff member with glasses stood up and shouted.
"Put the information content of the signal on the big screen!"
"Yes, Minister!"
The other staff members also seemed very excited, and they stopped what they were doing and looked at the huge display screen in unison.
"Children, in thirty-two hours, you will experience the strongest prison storm in history, this is a sign of danger and a signal to set sail, get ready for anything..."
"Father, it seems that you are right..."
At the back of the room, a large circular glass container was constructed, filled with an emerald green liquid, in which an enlarged version of the human brain was quietly immersed, and the surface of the brain was filled with various biometric detectors.
In front of this huge glassware, there is a simple mahogany round table and an antique nanmu stool carved with dragons and phoenixes. On the stool, a man in a white suit, holding a goblet in his hand, slowly shaking the red wine inside, slowly stood up, came to the big screen, and looked at the information in front of him fixedly.
Immediately after that, a blue light flashed where the man in the white suit stood, and the figure disappeared again.
Twenty years ago the sun was shining at half past one in the afternoon
"Son, I'm old, it's time for you to take charge of the company's affairs."
The afternoon sun shines through the windows on the wall and into a quaint living room. An old man with white hair sat on a brown-red leather sofa with a dragon-headed cane in his hand. The old man was in good spirits, his face was kind, and he was holding a cup of the fragrant mother tree big red robe in his other hand, and said to a young man in front of him.
This person is the founder of Paula, Zuo Jiang.
"You should know something, too."
Without waiting for the young man to agree, Zuo Jiang put down the teacup, stood up on crutches, came to the wooden window and slowly pushed it open, feeling the cool air outside.
"About 40 years ago, I launched a small satellite to listen to signals coming from the depths of the universe, and I didn't expect to receive a message. The night you called me and asked me to cook for you, the program was officially launched, and you may not remember it. ”
"A signal from the depths of the universe?"
Zuo Qiu was very surprised, before this, he had never cared about everything that his Paula company operated, thinking that it was just a very large pharmaceutical company covering the whole world, and he didn't expect his father to do such a thing.
"Yes, it's a signal from the depths of the universe, and after decades of deciphering, a small part of the information has finally been unraveled."
Zuo Jiang was still on crutches in his hand, facing the window, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside, and he didn't look at Zuoqiu. Zuoqiu was silent for a while, but did not speak, still digesting the information his father had given him just now. He knew that his father would never lie to himself.
"Dad, what do we need to do now?" Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Zuoqiu's voice trembled slightly and asked his father.
"Now, there's still a lot of work to be done, but I'm old, and this body can no longer be dormant and frozen. I don't have much time left, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive that time, I hope you can do the next thing for me.... By the way, there seems to be a move against our company in China recently, so please pay attention. ”
"Yes, father."
