Twelve days have passed since Lu An fled from the main base of 9786 and returned to the monitoring post in embarrassment.

Returning to the monitoring post with a pungent smell, Lu An simply wanted to burrow in the monitoring post and never see anyone again.

What a shame!

Even if only he knows, but people are ashamed, Lu An doesn't dare to face himself now, so he doesn't want to face outsiders even more, he is ashamed that he can be scared to such an extent.

The last time he walked back to the monitoring post from the main base, because the image in his mind was really lingering, he vomited uncontrollably after walking out of the main base for more than ten minutes.

Moreover, on the way back to the monitoring post, he vomited more than once. Of course, the last two times are not easy to say because of the image that left a deep shadow on him, or because of the pungent smell in the spacesuit, or both.

Back at the monitoring post, Lu An didn't have time to take off his space suit, so he went straight to the bathroom, turning on the shower head and taking off the space suit.

In the process of entering the monitoring post in the back, he walked almost breathlessly, and only after he got out of the confined environment of the spacesuit did he dare to take a big breath. Otherwise, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would vomit again at the last moment of relaxation.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that he used to go swimming and diving with free hands, so his lung capacity is not bad, and he didn't suffocate himself alive.

And in the bathroom, after washing up and down his body over and over again, Lu An felt as if he had gone to the smell that made him ashamed.

As for the spacesuit with stains everywhere, Lu An threw it directly outside the monitoring post, and instead of throwing it into an abandoned garbage disposal bin, he buried it directly in a crater.

This asteroid number 265 is not uncommon because of its long life, even in the empty and lonely space, it has experienced countless intimate encounters with alien visitors. Therefore, Lu An found a nearby crater and directly destroyed the evidence that made him ashamed.

This matter, only God knows that he knows, and he can't let others know about it, otherwise Lu An's shame will not be shameless, but shame and indignation.

Of course, such an act of covering his ears and stealing the bell could not make Lu feel at ease. After all, the most difficult thing for people to deceive is themselves, although only Lu An himself knows about this matter, but on this barren asteroid, even if he destroys the evidence, he still can't change the situation that "all insiders" know the truth about this matter, and no matter how much it is covered, it can't change this.

Therefore, Lu An then hid in the monitoring post and refused to come out again.

For the past twelve days, he had to take a bath every day to wash away the smell that had long since ceased to exist.

However, once you have some paranoid thoughts in your mind, such as telling yourself "don't be nervous", "don't think about pink elephants", "don't think about going to bed blindly", etc., no matter how much you try to expel them, the result is useless, and only to divert your attention can be effective.

Lu An is obviously well versed in this method, and he likes diving because it can divert his attention, and no matter how big the troubles, confusions, resentments, and grief in life can be diluted and dissipated in the process of longing for fresh air.

It just so happens that Lu An is now facing a slightly tricky and very important matter, that is, optimizing the routing jump nodes of the military emergency communication network and modifying the underlying architecture.

He has never given up his efforts to be able to return to the "human world" normally, and now although he has returned to the "Heart of Shadows", the teleportation-like appearance cannot be called a "normal return", at most it can be regarded as an abnormal return.

For the past twelve days, he has been crouching on the ground almost sleeplessly, writing and drawing, parsing the paths of the routing nodes and the underlying mechanism codes of the entire ancient network.

The reason why he forgot to sleep and eat so much was not that Lu An was really so eager to return to the human world, but that as long as he closed his eyes these days, he could recall the expressionless and cold beautiful face, as well as the things in her hands that he didn't know how to call.

Yes, Lu An's first impression at that time was that the edges and corners of this indifferent woman's face were really beautiful. At that time, he was lying in the cabin brain, and he didn't even react at first, this was the drunken female military doctor in the hall outside the warehouse.

However, it was precisely because of this that Lu An, who was in a daze at the time, didn't really realize what the picture he saw, what the operation of the woman with a cold and beautiful face was doing. When he reacted, he had already subconsciously seen too many pictures, so much so that they were encamped in Lu An's mind later, and they couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

These pictures are so stubborn that when Lu An closes his eyes, they will pop out, and then Lu An will be so frightened that he will open his eyes, after repeating this several times, how can Lu An be able to sleep?

He sleeps until his brain is trapped to the point of unconsciousness, and then he can sleep peacefully.

As for squatting on the ground to write and draw, Lu An likes it like this, not because he wants to increase his fatigue so that he can fall asleep quickly.

On this remote and desolate asteroid, it cannot be said that there is a lack of materials, after all, there is no problem in maintaining life, but the materials are indeed not abundant, at least many habits are difficult to maintain when they are on the earth or on the moon. For example, the isolation of the world that cannot be connected to the interstellar synchronous network is not to mention for the time being, and the paper that Lu An is used to must not be there.

Although there are many antiques in the army, such as the communication network that maintains Lu An's hope of returning to the "human world", such as the "Armstrong Roundabout Acceleration Jet Cannon", and the almost extinct pod-type intelligent brain in reality, these antiques do not include the antiques of "paper".

In the great wave of alliance before the galactic calendar, the fate of the human world took many unimaginable major turns, and the entire history was cut in half, and it was divided into two around the first year of the galactic calendar.

Many things that were taken for granted by mankind gradually died out, or inexplicably came to an abrupt end, while many new customs and practices sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, so that soon everyone became so accustomed that the gap in time was forgotten.

Lu An didn't know much about this history, but he had been exposed to this hands-on habit of using paper and pen since he was a child, and naturally inherited this habit. After all, in his memories before the age of ten, his grandfather, father, and brother all had this habit, and it didn't seem strange to him.

Even though he later learned that it was not such an "ordinary" habit, he did not bother to correct it, and he preferred to do it.

My dad and my brother did it, and I should do it even more.

As for the old man, Lu An subconsciously ignored it.

And on this asteroid number 265, "paper" is no longer an antique, but a luxury, just like the antique that Xia Fatzi once claimed.

In the face of reality, Lu An had no choice but to bow his head, using the floor of the monitoring post as paper and spraying paint as a pen, and flexibly writing and drawing on the ground. Fortunately, this pigment is a pigment used to mark the location in space, which is very water-soluble and easy to change.

However, now that twelve days have passed, Lu An has finally reached the point where it is difficult to continue.

On the one hand, Lu An's body finally reached its limit, squatting on the ground so sleeplessly, making the loneliness and loneliness in his heart like a crazy grass growing after a spring rain.

If he didn't leave this monitoring post, he felt as if he was going to take root on the floor, and he already had a feeling that he was going to have countless tentacles that would spread to the floor and take root, and he would never be able to stand up on the floor again.

And after twelve days of forced emptiness, as long as Lu An didn't think about it deliberately, the pictures in his mind no longer had such a strong impact. In his tired brain, many details have been blurred, and the sensitivities and touches that he had struggled with before have also been numb.

It's still surprising how quickly people get used to something to become numb, and of course Lu An is now blessed with such a blessing. It's like a sentence he once saw, "natural selection, survival of the fittest", human beings are still quite adaptable, otherwise they would not be all over the solar system now.

What's more, Lu An's brain ran out of electricity ten days ago.

Although Lu An has the habit of using paper and pen, but many calculation processes still need to be executed by the brain, after 12 days of analysis and calculation, Lu An has a complete idea and idea, but it needs the calculation of the brain to verify.

Without his brain, he could only stare at the floor now.

After glaring at the floor for an afternoon, Lu An decided to go back to the main base of 9786.

Lonely and insane, he had nowhere else to go, on this deserted and deserted asteroid, there was only one person in the main base, and although that woman was now terrifying to Lu An, she was indeed the only one on the planet. And on this asteroid, boring strolls are not very safe, although space is empty, it is not empty, in case you are hit by a particle meteorite in the wild, it is too late to cry.

In the common sense of human space survival, if it is not necessary, do not stay in an open place without any shelter for a long time.

Of course, for Lu An, it was necessary to travel back and forth between the monitoring post and the main base before.

In addition to the fact that his brain "borrowed" from the Moon Recruit Training Base really needs to be recharged, his ideas and ideas about the emergency communication network also need to be verified by practical operation.

He couldn't wait any longer, after all, the normal urge to return to the "human world" was still tempting him.

Therefore, twelve days later, Lu An put on a brand-new spacesuit and embarked on the journey to the main base again with great sorrow.

As the saying goes, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return", although Lu An didn't know this tragic and generous Yan Song, but the emotions in his heart were exactly what happened.

"By the way, that woman won't really mess me up, will she?"

When the airtight door of the monitoring post closed behind Lu An, he kept thinking about this thought in his heart.
