Volume I, Chapter 18, The True Journey (II), March 2117

"Well, I said I wouldn't cry." Yang Yiyi's tears kept pouring out, and Zhang Xiaozhu kept wiping them for her. She felt that his hand was warm, even if it was just one, robotic hand.

After the bus drove out of the tunnel, someone next to him saw the tear stains and red eyes on Yang Yi's face: "Brother Zhu, why are you crying?" A friend who had just met asked.

"It's nothing," Zhang Xiaozhu smiled, "I'm so excited, thinking about watching the sea." ”

"Never been to the beach?" The man asked. After a while, everyone's conversation returned to the sea view and wedding dresses. Zhang Xiaozhu looked at his watch, and the beach should be almost there.

When Zhang Xiaozhu woke up, he could already hear the sound of the wavesβ€”he couldn't remember exactly when he fell asleep. The bus was parked in the parking lot of the beach, and everyone was getting off the bus with a salute.

There was an unpleasant smell wafting in the air by the sea. "Is there a garbage dump around here?" Ah Liang asked the staff of "Blue Waves and White Sand".

When everyone came to the beach, everyone was taken aback. The beach is full of garbage, cans, plastic bags, clothes...... Someone scolded.

The staff quickly came forward to explain that when I came last week, this beach was clean, "Before leaving today, I just called and asked the environmental protection department, and they said that this beach can be used, it has just been cleaned." The staff smiled wryly.

"Just cleaned up?" Ah Liang asked, "What do you mean by just cleaned up?" Meaning, have you ever been soiled before? ”

There were a dozen or twenty people on the beach, and soon there was a lot of trouble.

Zhang Xiaozhu looked at the sea from afar, although the sky was very blue, the sea water was not blue at all. Not only on the beach, but also in the sea is full of garbage.

Suddenly, a man exclaimed, "Look, what's that?" He pointed 100 meters away, and everyone looked at it.

Ordinary people naturally can't see clearly with the naked eye, but Zhang Xiaozhu No. 1's electronic eye can see clearly as soon as he focuses on it: it is a stranded whale.

"Whales! Whale! Zhang Xiaozhu saw a tall and thin man jumping towards the garbage-ridden beach.

"He, isn't he afraid of smelly?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked the person next to him.

"It doesn't matter," replied a man next to him, who said as he pulled out his anti-smog mask, "This thing, you must take it with you." He said with some smugness, and then quickly put on the mask.

Many people wore face masks, and some people put two "filter nasal plugs" into their noses, and then they swarmed and followed the tall and thin man to watch the whales.

The rest of the people returned to the bus and continued to reason with the staff what to do, "You have to compensate!" Double the compensation! "I knew that we would have gone to shoot 'Virtual Fantasy', where would this happen? ”

"Or, tell all those who went to see the whales come back," Zhang Xiaozhu was very angry, so he deliberately lowered the voice of the stand-in robot to make his tone sound more constructive when he spoke, "You can call and ask if there are any other beaches, or look for them along the coastline." ”

The staff hurriedly called according to Zhang Xiaozhu's intentions.

At this time, Yang Yiyi suddenly said, "Ah Zhu, I ...... me too Want to see whales...... It is said that whales are not fishes, and I want to see what this kind of fish that is not a fish looks like, okay? Yang Yiyi said a little coquettishly.

"Go ahead," said a friend who met on the bus, "and we're not interested in animals, is we, wife." He gave his wife a look, meaning, asking her not to follow suit.

Zhang Xiaozhu thought about it, in the past few years, it has been impossible to photograph whales in the sea by aerial photography, and it is indeed a rare thing to meet whales here today. According to Zhang Xiaozhu's understanding, whale meat is sold on the black market for more than 4,000 times the amount of beef, and he once ate it once, and this price is still only for dead whales, if the whale is ......

"Oops, oops! Still alive! At this moment, the shouts of the crowd were faintly heard outside the bus......

(Live!) At this moment, Zhang Xiaozhu saw that the staff in the bus pricked up their ears. Team Leader Ding, who led the team in "Bilang Baisha", immediately began to call the supervisor in the company.

After a while, Zhang Xiaozhu heard an excited voice on the phone: "I have already asked just now, this thing is not a cultural relic, nor is it a protected animal in China, and the person who found it is equivalent to going out to sea to fish and come back." ”

"You mean, whoever finds it belongs to whom?" Team Leader Ding said in a low voice, squinting at the person next to him, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him of his credit. He saw Zhang Xiaozhu and others looking at him, so he took his mobile phone and got out of the car to talk.

However, Ah Liang had already understood what was happening on the bus: "Brother Zhu, it seems that they are fighting the idea of that whale." ”

"No wonder at the beginning, the tall and thin man ran over lively, so dirty, so ......smelly," said another of Mr. Zhang's bodyguards.

"I said, we passengers also have a part in the whale discovery...... another passenger on the bus said suddenly. Zhang Xiaozhu looked back and saw that it was the one her man said just now that he was not interested in "small animals", at this time, her tone and expression became a little unforgiving, "Your company has wasted so much of our time to come to such a dirty and rotten beach......

"Yes, yes, I think that the discovery of whales must also be counted as ours." Another passenger said.

In this way, the client and the photography company started a "protracted war" about the "whale", as if everyone had forgotten what they were going to do today.

Zhang Xiaozhu ignored these meaningless quarrels, led Yang Yi out of the car, and returned to the shipwreck. "Still going to see it?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked Yang Yiyi with a smile.

Yang Yi nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Then let's go." Zhang Xiaozhu said, a "princess hug", picked up Yang Yiyi by the waist, and walked towards the whale stranded on the beach.

Zhang Xiaozhu didn't go far, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Hey, that, you can't go over in wedding dresses and dresses, if you are dirty and broken, you will be compensated according to the original price!" ”

Hearing the man say this, Zhang Xiaozhu didn't look back, but just glanced at Ah Liang lightly. Ah Liang immediately gave an explanation to another bodyguard who had been scolded by him as a "stupid dog" before: "You go and tell him, our Mr. Zhang, no, it should be Mr. Li," Ah Liang remembered that Zhang Xiaozhu came out with a virtual identity this time, "The whole photography company can afford to buy them, how much are these rags worth?" ”

When Zhang Xiaozhu No. 1 walked towards the beach with Yang Yiyi in his arms, the alarm system of the stand-in robot had already issued a prompt: "Sharp objects cut through the surface, whether to close the pain!" Repetition, sharp objects cut through the surface, do you want to close the sense of pain? ”

"Turn off the pain!" Hundreds of kilometers away, Zhang Xiaozhu, lying in his villa, made the choice to shut down his pain.

"The pain is turned off." The system responded.

When Zhang Xiaozhu walked towards the whale with Yang Yiyi in his arms, many of his companions were already walking back, and some of them were looking at their mobile phones with relish, and there were photos of them and live whales in their mobile phones.

A woman saw Yang Yiyi in Zhang Xiaozhu's arms, and then looked at her man who was playing with her mobile phone, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
