Chapter 47: The Nightmare (5)

Lu Xun took Ai Ye and went to Storm to ask for a bouquet of white lilies, the latter handed the flowers to Lu Xun, and then turned his head to look at Ai Ye for a long time, and the girl cowered and hid behind Lu Xun.

Storm smiled dumbly, and he turned back to the greenhouse again, plucked another bright purple caryophyllum flower, and handed it to Mugwort.

Ai Ye's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, she hesitated and looked at Lu Xun, who nodded.

Ai Ye hid behind Lu Xun, stretched out his hand, carefully took the flower, and then quickly retracted it, not daring to probe it again. Lu Xun thanked the storm and left the greenhouse with the girl.

"Brother Lu Xun, who was that person just now?"

Walking out of the distance, Ai Ye dared to speak.

"One of the members of the hummingbird hunting team, nicknamed Storm." "His name is Arnold, and he is a gardener and vegetable farmer in the security zone. ”

To be honest, as a tall mecha pilot, Storm's hobby is actually planting some flowers and plants, which even Lu Xun himself thinks is very strange. Outwardly, Storm is the strongest man in the hummingbird group, and he likes to have a thick beard, and he looks like a black whirlwind Li Kui-like figure, but his favorite thing to do is to squat in the vegetable patch and dig with a small hoe.

"Hummingbird hunting team?"

Aiye had heard the word, but she didn't know what it meant.

"It's the academy's security." Lu Xun replied, "The people who protect the safe zone, kill the Night King, and it is these people who rescued you." ”

"Is Brother Lu Xun also a member of the hummingbird hunting team?"

Lu Xun nodded, "Yes." ”

"Can I join the hummingbird hunting team too?" Ai Ye asked.

"Uh...... I'm afraid it won't work. Lu Xun scratched his head, "The mission of the hummingbird team is too dangerous, and basically they don't do anything good, and if they are not careful, they will either die or be injured." ”

Lu Xun took Ai Ye through the campus, and the girl was curious about everything, looking around.

The two stepped onto the meadow, and neatly arranged stone monuments stood on both sides of the path.

"Brother Lu Xun...... Do your friends live here? Ai Ye hesitated, she hadn't been here, but she could see what this place was.

"yes."

Lu Xun nodded.

The two of them walked along the path, flanked by half-human-high white crosses, and the names and years were engraved on the stone tablets under the crosses, and some of the stone tablets were lined with dried flowers, the petals of which had long since been scattered, and only the bare flower stalks remained.

The cemetery in the academy is much larger than it was two years ago, and they have been expanding the cemetery for more than two years, because people are dying and new dead people are buried at the edge of the cemetery, where the stone monument is newer than the one in the center of the cemetery.

Ai Ye was obviously a little frightened, and Lu Xun touched her head.

Zhao Gao's tomb is on the edge of the grassland, very inconspicuous, no cross, only a small stone stele, if you don't look closely, it is easy to ignore, it is better to say that it is a tomb, because there is almost nothing buried under the stele, Zhao Gao's bones are gone, all the relics are left to Lu Xun, the meaning of this tombstone is just to tell the latecomers that there was a person named Zhao Gao who lived in this world.

and to give some people a place to hang.

Lu Xun raised his head and was suddenly stunned.

There are others here.

A tall young girl stood between the tombstones more than a dozen meters away, wearing a white coat, her hands in her pockets, and her long pale blonde hair fluttering in the wind.

Director?

Lu Xun was taken aback.

He didn't know when Ariana had come or how long she had been here, but she stood motionless, her eyes falling on the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Director." Lu Xun called out to her.

Ariana turned her head, her gaze swept over Lu Xun and the flower in his hand, and then swept over Ai Ye beside Lu Xun.

"Sister Anna!" Ai Ye screamed coldly.

Lu Xun was surprised, this was the first time Ai Ye took the initiative to call someone else's name, "Girl, do you know her?" ”

"Of course I know, I am responsible for the initial rehabilitation and nursing work of this girl, and we have lived together for more than half a month." Anna said lightly, "Lu Xun, are you here to sweep the grave?" ”

Lu Xun nodded, he walked to the small tombstone, leaned over, and gently wiped the dust and dirt off the tablet, revealing the handwriting underneath.

"Zhao Gao, November 2025 – July 2049."

There is no epitaph.

That man's life was finally summed up in just two words and a string of numbers.

Lu Xun was silent for a long time, put the white lily in his hand on the tombstone, and whispered, "Second goods...... I'll bring the girl to your grave to jump, am I doing what I say? ”

Ariana stood behind her, looking at the young man from afar, she was familiar with this back, countless times she had passed outside the laboratory, and when she looked into the room, she could see this back sitting in front of the table, sometimes she felt weak, sometimes she felt indestructible.

Zhao ...... High? Ai Ye stood beside Lu Xun and read out those two words, "Is he Lu Xun's brother's friend?" ”

"yes." Lu Xun said, "He is the friend of the cheating father." ”

Ai Ye tilted his head, carefully looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and repeated the name.

"You haven't been to the lab lately, are you going to quit this job?" Anna stepped forward, stood beside the two of them, and glanced at Lu Xun, "Mr. Minister? ”

"This ...... This, Director, it's true that the work of the Executive Department is too busy, and there are too many troubles in the security zone, and I'm so busy that I can't even eat, so I really can't spare time to help you, Director. Lu Xun laughed, "I also explained this issue to the colonel, and the colonel has already agreed, didn't they tell you?" ”

"Got it." Ariana nodded, "But I have to get my resignation, and now that I've confirmed my opinion, I agree with your resignation, and you don't have to come to the institute in the future." ”

"Director, what are you doing here?" Lu Xun asked, he didn't want to continue to dwell on the topic of resignation, to be honest, he felt a little sorry for the director, after all, she gave him a lot of care, and saved his life more than once, the assassin king operation was finally on the top floor of the Jin Mao Building, if it wasn't for Ariana to arrive at the end, Lu Xun would have hung up with Zhao Gao.

In Lu Xun's words, this is a fateful friendship, his relationship with the director is very iron, and he is an iron buddy who can stick a knife in the other party's ribs.

Now that he has been appointed as the head of the executive department, he has resigned from his job as an assistant to the research institute, and no matter how you look at it, it is a bit of a mess to abandon the idea of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Me?" "I'm here to dig up graves." ”
