Chapter 10: The Girl in the Name of Peony (Part II)
"I hope he can wake up smoothly." The tall man made a powerful voice, his upper body was naked, his gray wings were tucked behind him, and a wound patch fifty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide was attached to his chest.
His upper body was covered with scars, many of which were draped over the other, like rag dolls that had been sewn up over and over again. Although scars are a man's medal, his medals are inevitably too many.
Cheng En took off the wound patch on the tall man's chest, his brows furrowed, "I told you a long time ago that if an injury like this has to be soaked in a medical tank, you could have healed in seven days, but it has not completely healed until now." ”
The wound patch covered a forty-centimeter-long wound with a mirror-like edge, formed by cutting away necrotic skin; The outermost layer of skin has not yet healed, and the reddish-white subcutaneous tissue can be clearly seen.
"It's a little injury that doesn't get in the way." The tall man pulled out a thick cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed it for a long time, then took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, "I don't have time to rest, I don't even want to sleep, every time I lose consciousness I can hear them calling, every time I fall into a deep sleep I don't want to wake up." The real world is too cruel, they are tirelessly hunting us, and there are only two choices before me, complete liberation, or fight with everything. ”
Cheng En snatched the lighter from the other party's hand, widened his eyes and scolded: "Still smoke!" Don't want to die? Song Beichen, how old do you think you are this year? Ninety, you're ninety years old this year! All the people in the organization who can live to the age of ninety have gone to retire, and you old monster has appeared on the front line alive, and you have taken my old bones to suffer with you. ”
He wanted to smash the lighter to the ground to vent his dissatisfaction, but after thinking about it, it was too dangerous to do so, he took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions, "Brother Beichen, people like us always have to obey the old, and it is the privilege of young people to repeat the vows they made when they were young over and over again. It's not the time of 50 years ago, when I was only 20 years old and could run 10 kilometers in one breath with a 50-kilogram first-aid kit on my back; You're only forty years old then, and you can wield a scythe from a single Seven Sins leader and dozens of ordinary Seven Sins members. Now I can only rely on an instrumental exoskeleton to perform major surgeries, and I feel tired when I sleep 12 hours a day; Now you haven't been able to heal from this injury for a month, and you have to rely on trauma patches to ensure that the wound is not infected. ”
He returned the lighter to the person in front of him and replaced him with a new wound patch.
"We're not here to fight them, and even if we are, don't drag peonies." Cheng En applied ointment to the wound.
In this process, the tall man named Song Beichen didn't say a word, just closed his eyes.
"Okay, you don't have to ask me to change the dressing in the future, just tear off the wound when the wound heals." Cheng En waved his hand and motioned for the other party to leave.
Song Beichen put on his clothes and walked to the windowsill.
"Don't ...... Persecuting the kid too much. Cheng En hesitated for a long time and said such a sentence.
"I've got my own measure." The gray wings spread, Song Beichen jumped out of the window, a gust of wind blew, and he disappeared.
Peony didn't take advantage of the words clearly, and walked quickly through the corridor in a huff. Yan Qingcheng's attention was all on her pair of white wings, and naturally she did not observe the changes in the girl's mood.
When the two of them came outside, the icy air flow in their faces made Yan Qingcheng shiver, and at this time he finally turned his attention away.
Endless desert, this is the scene that floods the eyes. Previously, his vision was blocked in the ward because of the viewing angle, but now he can see this vast world in its entirety.
"I left Yangxing?" Yan Qingcheng exclaimed.
The solar system in which human beings live is called the Nine Galaxy, which is named after the nine planets in the galaxy that can be modified and inhabited by humans, namely Ji Xing - the capital of the galaxy and the Central Military Region; Yuxing - a commercial planet and a tourist attraction; Blue Star - Agricultural Planet, Commercial Planet; Yangxing - Education Planet, Business Planet; Xu Xing - Mining Planet, Industrial Planet; Jingxing - agricultural planet, mining planet; Liang Xing – Mining Planet; Yongxing – an agricultural planet; Yanxing - Barren Land. The nine planets orbit a huge luminous object in the center of the galaxy, which provides a source of light for the entire galaxy, so humans named it after the former sun. The nine planets are divided into three major regions according to their distance from the Sun, with Jixing, Yuxing, and Qingxing being classified as the core region, Yangxing, Xuxing, and Jingxing being classified as the inner ring region, and Liangxing, Yongxing, and Yanxing being classified as the outer ringing region.
The United Nations Institute of Science and Technology, where Yan Qingcheng once studied, is located in Yangxing, a prosperous planet that ranks only in terms of wealth behind the capital Jixing and Yuxing, which is famous for its business.
It was not unseen that he had never seen an endless amount of land, but it was all public gardens or private lands belonging to the wealthy, with perfect greenery and a pleasant climate. And deserts like this only exist in books.
"Of course, how could 'we' possibly set up a stronghold in such a dangerous place?" Peony said in a reasonable tone.
"What planet is this?" Yan Qingcheng was uneasy, he was an orphan, without any blood relatives, and grew up in a government-set welfare institution. Coming from Yanxing's seventeenth quarter, this was the only information he had heard about his origins from others. When he grew up, he was sent from Yanxing to Yangxing for education, and he never left that planet until that early morning a month ago.
"Your knowledge is very short, the core star area and the inner ring star area are so rich, and the land that can be used is naturally used to build cities, factories and nature reserves. Only the outer ring star region has this kind of incomplete development landform, poor, there is no way to do it. Peony stared at Yan Qingcheng's face with a smile, and he could probably guess what Peony was laughing at. A prospective graduate who claims to have come out of the top university in the entire galaxy, and a girl who is not a few years younger than him in terms of knowledge, should indeed be ridiculed.
"Yanxing, we are on the most barren planet in this galaxy." Peony added.
Yan Qingcheng obviously had a lot of questions, but Peony saw through his thoughts and said first: "We haven't arrived at our destination yet, come with me, the climate here is changeable, don't stay outside for too long." ”
She spread her wings and flew into the air, Yan Qingcheng looked straight, and stood on the ground without moving.
