Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cabin
City C is still the same as it is in memory, but the urban environment is cleaner, there are more civilization signs, and the green belt has increased significantly.
Many new high-rise buildings have been built, the former urban villages have been replaced by more high-tech buildings, and public transportation seems to have been renewed, but there are no exaggerated changes.
After all, it's only been about ten years.
There is a saying that Cangtu is right, the city is peaceful and prosperous, and it is really just that prices have risen.
No one seems to pay attention to the international war, everyone just cares about whether their stocks have risen, whether the price of pork has fallen, and whether the insurance has been paid......
The promotion news of the 'evolution project' of the Siai Group is overwhelming, and there are always people talking about it on the streets.
Because the branch of Siai Group in City C is very influential in the academic world, many important inventions and research have been completed here, especially Ning Ol, who was also born in City C.
Therefore, the evolution project is basically in charge of the Siai Group in City C, as a scientific research that attracts worldwide attention, and City C can be regarded as a world star at this time.
"It's really rich." Cangtu looked at the many billboards and said.
Su Jin looked at the crowd on the side of the road, as if they were marching, "Slow down." β
Cangtu simply stopped the car and let Su Jin see enough.
"I'll go buy something to eat, and you'll wait for me in the car." With that, Cangtu got out of the car.
Su Jin looked at the marching army of Hao Hao Tangtang, with a wide age span, some young and some old aunts, they held large and small signs and banners.
"Open Evolution Project!"
"Open selection for Superman!"
"Resist the new humanity of the inner designation!"
Su Jin listened to their slogans and roughly understood their intentions.
The crowd went crazy......
The march was large and emotional, and it was not the first time that this had been done, depending on the situation.
Su Jin hurriedly got out of the car and asked a woman watching the excitement on the side of the road, "Sister, what do these people want to do?" β
"Yo, you don't know? They hope that the Four Loves will reveal all of the Superman projects! β
"Project Superman? Is that the evolution project? β
"That's right! It is said that this evolution project is for the training of supermen! No, they all want to be Superman! β
"But...... Doesn't it mean that supermen can't be trained at all? β
"Yo~! Girl, are you so naΓ―ve! You believe that! If you think about the development of science and technology in recent years, how fast! The four loves must have done a good job of secrecy, and they refuse to tell us people! β
"Why?"
"To get rich! There must already be a predetermined experimenter! Didn't you watch the news? They said that there is a selection system, but this selection system is not open at all, how can we ordinary people be selected? β
"Do these people want to be ......volunteers of the Four Loves?" Su Jin asked incredulously.
"Ouch! Don't talk about these people! I want to be it! Who wouldn't! Superman! Can fly! β
"But ......"
"You just say that these four loves, this kind of secret research and development, is too human rights! There is still overwhelming publicity, but it just doesn't tell us how to choose people and how to participate in this project! To put it bluntly, isn't it just hunger sales! If you wait for a while, you will definitely have to charge a lot of money, and probably only rich families can participate......"
Su Jin felt that everyone was crazy......
Thinking of Luo Yiming's tragic situation and all the former volunteers she heard, she felt a chill down her spine......
Suddenly, someone approached behind her.
She was keenly aware that this person was close to her!
She jerked around and found a ...... standing behind her
King Piece!
Wang Yiyi was looking at her coldly, with a look of disdain.
The two are still incompatible.
Su Jin was used to this kind of hostile gaze.
But her tense nerves relaxed, after all, Wang Yiyi was her own person.
Without saying a word, she returned to the co-pilot.
Wang Yi circled around the car and found that there was no driver.
When he was suspicious, Cangtu came back with two large bags of food.
"Why are you here?!" Cangtu's voice was very happy.
"I ask, right? Just the two of you? β
"Well, yes. Get on the bus first. β
Wang Yiyi sat in the back seat, facing the full seat of beer bottles......
"Old Scar! You're so self-indulgent! β
Cangtu snorted and drove on.
On the way, he told Wang Yiyi what had happened, and made it clear that he was going to Su Jin's house now to find out who sent them the message.
According to him, he appeared directly in City C, stayed for a few days, watched the crowd march, and couldn't find anyone else, until just now, he met Su Jin on the side of the road.
Cangtu drove, under the guidance of Su Jin, and came to the remote area of the eight outer counties.
This is the Ring River of City C. The river squeezed out of the mountains and splashed down to the lake.
Tangxi Lake is the largest of the many lakes in City C.
It is long, like a pear, and it is narrow where the waterfall falls in the mountains, and gradually widens......
"Your family lives here?" Cangtu parked the car on the side of the road, looked at the dense woods around him, and asked in surprise.
"I can't walk in front of me, I have to walk."
Cangtu wanted to ask, what kind of residential houses are not open to traffic now?
Fortunately, there is a hairy road in the woods in the mountains, although it is very hidden, but Su Jin can accurately identify it.
The sound of the river rushing on the side echoed in the mountain stream, and the pace under Su Jin's feet was very fast.
The closer you get to home, the more nervous you get.
2031 ...... I don't know if my father is still healthy.
Cangtu and Wang Yi followed behind, there were many guesses in their hearts, looking at the wild environment around them, they definitely didn't believe that ordinary fishermen would live here, let alone Su Jin's skills.
There must be a problem!
Fortunately, they didn't walk long before they got out of the woods.
The lake suddenly opened up, the whole meadow was neatly manicured, the courtyard surrounded by wooden hedges was large, and a small wooden two-story building could be seen in the distance, and on the hillside, the smoke curled from the cooking.
"This is your home?" Cangtu looked at the house on the slope and felt very surprised.
"My father has a more withdrawn personality, you see him, don't talk much......" Su Jin lowered his head, seemingly shy.
"Yo, is this a meeting with parents?" Cangtu joked and stretched his arm, "You said there is a clue here, let's talk about it if you can find it." β
The three of them walked along the stone road by the lake, passed a small fishing boat, climbed the stone steps, and came to the house.
A man who looked to be in his 40s was basking in the sun in a rocking chair in front of the door.
He was wearing a black and red flower shirt, knee-high linen pants, and a pair of leather slippers, and was gently swinging with the rocking chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Dad, I'm back." Su Jin walked up the steps and said.
The man let out an 'um' and didn't open his eyes.
"Dad, I brought two friends." Su Jin said solemnly.
The man opened his eyes, and there were a large number of people, his eyes were blazing, like a sharp snake, staring at Wang Yiyi and Cangtu's faces, and after a while, he stood up lazily.
"Come in." He walked towards the house.
Cangtu whispered to the two: "We are in 10 years...... Be careful. β
The room is a square hall, an open European kitchen, a European dining room, the sofa looks soft and extremely comfortable, and there are many photos on the fireplace, all of which are Su Jin's childhood.
"Come and sit." The man greeted and sat down on the couch. "Jin'er, go pour tea."
Su Jin obediently brought some teacups, and everyone sat in the living room.
For a moment, the atmosphere was quiet and strange, and I didn't know how to speak.
Because of Su Jin's instructions, it was inconvenient for Cangtu and Wang to speak.
But Su Jin didn't know how to ask......
"Where did it come from?" The man spoke first.
"From... Come back from outside......" Su Jin said.
"Oh, outside." The man touched his knuckles, "I came back to you because it was dangerous outside." Let's settle in at home for a while. β
"Dad, how did you find me?"
"It's not easy to find a daughter when you're a father?" He stood up and walked out the door. "Eat fish at night."
The three of them watched the man leave, and they all felt that this man was too different.
The figure of the man left the grassland and arrived at the lake, apparently to drive a fishing boat to catch the fish in the lake.
"How old is your dad?" Cang Tu stood by the window, looked at the figure of the man in the lake, and asked.
"Any questions?" Su Jin asked.
"It looks so young."
"He's not old."
"This is 2031." "It looks like your father was born in the 90s. He was 40 years old. β
"Men look younger, is there a problem? When he had me, he was just over ten years old. He was 80 years old. β
"So you're 51 years old?" Cangtu smiled, "It's really young." β
Wang Yiyi also stood up, walked to the fireplace, and looked at the decorations in the room.
On the fireplace hung a harpoon, with three pointed heads and a handle made of iron, which looked exquisite.
The king weighed it and said, "Huh".
"What's wrong?" Cangtu asked.
"What's your father's name?"
"Subo." Su Jin replied, "What's wrong?" β
"Su Bo......" the king muttered to himself, and with a strong force, he pulled out the spikes of the harpoon.
On the iron handle, a small golden key is inlaid with it.
"How did you find out?" Cang Tu stepped forward and asked.
"There's an interface here, and there's obvious signs of loosening." Wang Yiyi pointed to the part where the harpoon and the discus were connected, "The harpoon is the fisherman's food treasure, so loose, how can it be used to spear fish." β
Cangtu smiled, "You still have two more strokes." He pulled out the key and asked Su Jin, "What is this for?" β
Su Jin's face was not very good, and he was a little unhappy. "No matter what it is, it's our family's business, and we don't need your fingers, right?"
Wang Yi shrugged his shoulders without the slightest remorse, "Your father is not an ordinary person at first glance. And this harpoon is placed in such a conspicuous position, it is very likely that he deliberately placed it to attract our attention. β
"You mean, he deliberately let us find the key?" Cangtu asked.
Su Jin snatched the key and became a little moved, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" β
"Am I talking nonsense?" Wang Yiyi was also not angry, but still dragged a lazy long voice, "How did he find you abroad?" How do you get the radio to send you messages? Why do you live in seclusion here? Seclusion has only one purpose, and that is to hide. What the hell are you hiding? How did you learn kung fu? It can't be that you fell into a cave and stole the martial arts cheats in the sheep's ass, right? β
Cangtu sat on the sofa, hugged his shoulders, and watched the confrontation between the two, full of interest.
Su Jin was suddenly asked and didn't know how to answer, his face turned red, like a volcano about to erupt at any time. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "It's none of your business!" β
"What about Luo Yang? How the hell did you go missing?! Wang Yiyi raised his voice and was aggressive, "Only you are with him!" You say you're hurt, but what about you? You say he was captured? Why didn't I arrest you?! β
Su Jin glared at Wang for a while, then suddenly relieved and laughed twice, "Hahaha, so that's the case." Do you think I killed Luo Yang? What's in it for me? You're just brainless. β
"It's not the first time you've tried to kill us. You don't know where you came from, plus a strange father, strange skills......"
"Don't talk about my dad!" Su Jin said, suddenly attacked, turned over, and raised his foot to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi had already prepared, dodged away, and scolded: "I already knew that you had this trick!" If you hadn't attacked me in the cave, you wouldn't have been my opponent. β
"Huh! Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, it's you who are stupid! Su Jin replied, still unrelenting on his fists and feet.
She attacked again, picked up the iron handle of the harpoon, and swung it at the king.
With a clang, the shell table lamp on the small coffee table was knocked to pieces, and the debris was splashed, and Cangtu hurriedly reached out to block it.
Wang Yiyi continued to dodge, "I don't do anything with women!" Don't push me! β
"Yo? I think you're just weak-hearted! It's obviously you who are weird! Why did you appear alone in City C? It was such a coincidence that they met us! It's clear that you are the spy of the four loves! Stick it with us! β
She continued to wield the iron handle, whirring and whistling, beckoning to run towards the king's soft underbelly.
"You wicked mother-in-law! You're just like your weird daddy! It's all weirdos! The king cried out and dodged from place to place.
In an instant, the entire room was smashed to pieces except for the sofa where Cangtu was sitting, and finally, with a loud bang, the fireplace collapsed.
Behind the fireplace, a safe door is exposed.
"Alright, stop fighting." Cangtu stood up, snatched Su Jin's iron handle, still on the ground, and pointed to the door of the fresh-keeping cabinet, "Look, there is a clue." β
