The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

Straight to the end of the street to the west, the orange-red sunset looks like a medium-boiled egg yolk.

The flowing water mats started from the two pillars at the gate of the city and were neatly erected to the small square on the westernmost side. In the midst of the laughter of relatives and friends, the groom finally passed through the layers of relatives and friends, and held the bride's hand with a smirk under a few colored silks fluttering in the wind.

A large tooth-sore oath was completed, and all the pedestrians who had stopped here for the time being applauded enthusiastically. Children dutifully sprinkle flower petals from bamboo baskets into the sky, and women carry plates through the dense crowd of tables, chairs and benches. Many people who had never met before and who might not have had the opportunity to get together again after tonight briefly unloaded their defenses in the midst of laughter, or pushed glasses in twos and threes, or danced and chatted.

"We're not...... In a hurry...... Belch. "The groom's home-brewed wine has more stamina than Tong Bi'an imagined. He grabbed Gu Lan's hand in a daze, and the hiccup was extremely loud, "No...... No, Lan Lan, where are we......"

"I told you that we still have business to do in the future, why are you still ...... Alas. Gu Lan glanced at Yuan Sui, who was holding his face and looking at her smiling, suddenly cleared his throat uncomfortably, and used a little force to break someone's hot fingers, "Stay away from me, the smell of wine is ......"

"It's so good, I actually got a meal in vain." Yuan Sui couldn't stop playing with the soup in the bowl with chopsticks, "I thought I was destined to sleep in the open these days." I didn't expect such a big town to exist in this kind of desert. ”

"Yes, the host here is so real, he only treats generously, and he doesn't even charge money." Gu Lan tilted her head, probably trying to get a glimpse of the beautiful bride through the cracks in a lot of heads.

"'Meeting is fate,' seems to have a similar saying a long time ago." Yuan Sui proudly picked up the bowl, drank a large bowl of bean soup directly, and then wiped his mouth pretendically, and said in a good mood, "I don't know if the eldest boy discussed with the boss smoothly." If people are so busy with happy events that they really can't spare time to lend us decent transportation, we'll just rest here for a day or two. I see that you are all tired and can't make noise, it's only been a little more than a day. ”

"I really admire your feet." Gu Lan praised sincerely, "Originally, I thought I had already endured hardships. ”

"Hey, I've been working with my boss lately, and I haven't learned anything else, but at least I can make it a routine to travel for a long time. Flash." Yuan Sui saw the vague longing in her eyes, and smiled and teased, "What, a little envious?" ”

"Envy what?" Gu Lan was finally reluctant to take her eyes off the bride's flushed face.

"Look at your soulless appearance, what's the matter, you also want to get married?" Yuan Sui pretended to blink innocently, and peeked at Tong Bi'an, who was asleep on the dinner table.

"What do you say?" Gu Lan slapped the table breathlessly, which attracted a round of laughter from strangers.

Noticing that the other party's expression was becoming more and more uncomfortable, Yuan Sui hurriedly waved his hand and remedied: "I'm just talking about playing...... But the last time we met in the city, there were a lot of people under you who made this kind of joke, and you ...... at that time."

"Let's not talk about that." Gu Lan pursed her lips and lowered her head to fill herself a bowl of soup, and whispered meaningfully, "No one knows what will happen in the future, right?" ”

“…… I really can't help but want to ask a personal question, and of course you can answer it or not. Yuan Sui pinched his tone, trying to make himself appear sincere rather than gossiping, "You seem to have said before that you have been living in the city of Six Fingers in the past, and you have also received a good education, and it is the ...... that Xiaotong forcibly snatched the 'village'"

The shadow of a teenager flashed from Gu Lan's mind. She saw the man crouching against the wall in a playful position, swinging his hands in an effort to keep his balance.

Fifteen-year-old Gu Lan poked out half of his head from the window and looked at him stupidly across a low tree.

She craned her neck and screamed at the eager knock at the door, then hurriedly kicked the small bench under her feet into the corner, and waved awkwardly at the boy with her feet folded.

"I'll definitely come back to you!" The young man's face was covered with mud, and his arms were scratched in several places, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed, but his voice was still crisp, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back to you!" ”

The footsteps of the "teachers" echoed in her mind like a spell. Gu Lan tried to show a not-so-good-looking smile to the little fool he met by chance, and then firmly closed the designed overly high window before the crowd poured in.

"Listen, this window is for you to ventilate, not for you to trouble us." The most senior female "teacher" habitually cocked that extra finger and swept her sharp gaze at each child in school uniform, "Also, let me know that someone is taking the opportunity to meet with their families every month to secretly use your strange abilities to convey the message here."

The children gathered in the room, large and small, all obediently holding a paper book at this time, pretending to be diligent in the not too bright light.

“…… Don't blame us. The young "counselor" stuffed today's lunch neatly into the lunch box and distributed it to each of the "special children" who were studying here temporarily, and his voice trembled a little as always, "You are ordinary people...... It's also a dangerous product. ”

A steel spoon stretched straight out in front of Gu Lan's eyes. She barely came back to her senses, and moved her stool back under Yuan Sui's obviously suspicious gaze.

"What do you think, give me the bowl." Yuan Sui raised his chin at the hand holding the spoon, "My arms are sore." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Gu Lan hurriedly used both hands and raised the bowl very high, "I haven't slept well lately, and I'm always prone to sleepiness......"

"And you still wake up so early every day?" Yuan Sui raised his head by chance, and happened to watch her slowly turn to the side, turning to Tong Bi'an, who had already drunk unconscious, and only occasionally let out a snort.

Gu Lan's eyes were full of unusual gentleness and tranquility, and even a little resignation-like shyness, not like he was peeking at a "partner" who seemed to be in a long-term cold war.

What the hell is going on with these two people?

Yuan Sui subconsciously put a piece of ginger into the bowl, and almost knocked over the soup in front of him the moment he took a bite.

-

Maybe it's because I've been thinking about too many things lately, and I've been seriously overusing my brain. The next morning, by the time Yuan Sui yawned and walked out of the makeshift guest room door, the other five people were already squatting on the ground, starting a new round of fingering at an old drawing.

"Miss Gu, I heard that you used to study surveying and mapping, I still want to hear your thoughts first." Tong Siyuan's eye bags were almost bigger than his eyes, "After all, what we are going to this time is another place that has condensed their years of hard work. And because of the lessons of the previous group of children, they will only take more extreme measures to conduct research. According to what we've been torturing over the years, they're planning to create a new batch of weapons with even more advanced talents, a complete loss of 'self-consciousness', and a partial replacement of their body structure with alloy machinery. The good news is that at least this experiment hasn't been successful in humans so far, and the bad news is that we might run into some monkey with steel claws that can breathe fire at us. ”

"It's not particularly scary just to breathe fire." Yuan Sui silently answered in the shadows behind everyone, "I hope those monkeys haven't learned to speak human words yet...... Or at least we haven't learned to understand human consciousness, otherwise if we are successfully hypnotized by a few animals, we don't know what strange things will happen next. ”

"Yes, if I really become a person who only wants to gnaw bananas for the rest of my life because of the mental attack of the monkey, I can ask you in advance now, just give me a good time." Tong Bi'an was eating melon seeds with relish, and he didn't seem to have a particularly strong sense of crisis.

"No, you forgot, the last group of monkeys we met was cannibalistic." Yuan Sui corrected with a serious face.

"Okay, let's discuss the emergency measures in this regard." Tong Siyuan cleared his throat, "Back to the point." As last time, according to this sketch drawn by our captives, their new base is set up on the deserted Gobi Desert. Unless you get a specific coordinate location, it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Harsh natural conditions are a natural shield. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Sui nodded, "Then it should take a lot of effort to build this place, right?" They told us so simply, and they really didn't have any integrity at all. ”

"You forget, they stayed up at least half a month to tell the truth. We've already wasted some of our efforts. Tong Siyuan used a tree branch to put a wreath on the picture, "Here, and here, are the positions of the front door and the back door, respectively." Do you think we should split up and avoid any more slips, or should we focus on breaking through in one direction? ”

"Of course, I hope that this operation will wipe them out and never cause trouble, but I feel that we still have to be prepared for the information they have to give to them. After all, as long as we are trapped and killed here, they will not lose anything. Yuan Sui also looked at Gu Lan, "Sister Gu, you are the most professional in looking at maps among us, tell me, is there anything wrong with this map?" ”

"Maps and architectural plans are actually two completely different things......," Gu Lan was forced to get nervous, "but if there is anything wrong...... Do you know why this neighborhood has become a desert? ”

"Because of the heat?" Tong Bi'an's answer is always the most brainy.

"Because of the lack of water." Yuan Sui is also unprofessional about this.

"Well, the lack of water is one thing. Although it is not said to be deep inland, it is difficult to form precipitation on the leeward side, and the lithology and topography here are not conducive to water storage, so small patches of desert and even sandy land are created between the mountains......"

"I don't understand, let's get to the point." Tong Bi'an urged without giving face.

"Have you ever heard of rocky desertification? That's pretty much it, maybe it was a forest a few hundred years ago. Gu Lan actually didn't know much about this, so she could only say vaguely, "Roughly...... Although it looks very arid on the surface, there may be a very rich water system underneath. Therefore, the geological structure here is actually very unstable, and from the basic geographical principles, it is not suitable for the construction of large underground facilities. ”

"Oh." Yuan Sui replied dryly, obviously these things were a little beyond the scope of knowledge of a person who had lived at sea since childhood.

"What do you mean......" Tong Siyuan bowed his head and muttered.

"I don't mean anything, after all, it's just a 'theoretical' inference, and you can't just go home because of my words, so I didn't mention it before." It is really not conducive to the health of the cervical spine to keep his head down and look at the picture, Gu Lan hammered the back of his neck hard, "There is always something to gain from a trip, even if it is to confirm that those 'captives' in our hands are not reliable, it is also a kind of thing." ”

"No, no, you're completely confused." Yuan Sui put one hand on his waist, "Anyway, there's no reason why they would inexplicably point out such a remote place. If it's not their real lair, it's probably a trap. But in the long run, we really have to take care of it. So even if you fall for it during the investigation, you can only consider yourself unlucky. If you think about it, if this technology is only in the hands of ordinary people, it will only threaten us. If you accidentally get your hands on the six fingers, that's the real trouble. In addition......"

"What else comes to mind?" Tong Siyuan asked.

Yuan Sui shook his head for a while, and then said in a thoughtful tone: "Seriously, if you can create a 'monkey army' just by feeding irradiated food to animals, I actually don't believe it...... With this level of 'scientific research', the six fingers should be able to complete it faster than ordinary people......"

"All in all, if the geological conditions are really that bad, we may not be able to use Lao Qi's ability, or we will decisively cause an explosion like last time." Tong Siyuan's small eyes were full of worry, "In addition, I must remind that we have been delayed for too long. The companions who went out did not contact their families for more than half a month, and someone must have realized that something had happened to them. The longer the time drags on, the greater the variables, so let's hurry up and get started. ”

"Speaking of which, what about the 'antique vehicle' you're looking for?" Yuan Sui straightened his waist.

"Oh yes, you're late, I guess you didn't see it." Tong Bi'an instantly came to his senses, "It's right outside the door, it's definitely a big surprise." ”

Three minutes later, Yuan Sui stared at the solar-powered car in front of him in amazement, and applauded the rocks on the bare ground.

She thought that this kind of thing would only appear in old movies a hundred years ago.
