Chapter 202: Wandering (I)
In the southeastern mountains of Rhode Island, two kilometres west of Attalus Peak, there is a small rift valley that serves as a habitat for all butterflies on the island between July and September. At this time of year, millions of butterflies flutter in the valley, which is why the small rift valley next to Rhodes' highest peak, Attalus, was named Butterfly Valley.
In the republic, no one can get something for nothing. Even if you have made great achievements, you must follow the delegation of the central computer to complete more or less the work you can every day, and this is also true for Robin and others who are on vacation.
In the case of Robin and Lee, the daily work of the two of them is to complete some chores on the farm, which is actually more like a handy work for the two of them, so every day, Robin and Lee have a lot of free time to splurge after completing their work.
And Cecilia and Martha, naturally, also have their own jobs.
After the end of the Age of Discovery, the devastated earth was restored to a large number of pristine natural features in just a few decades due to the special maintenance of the central computer. However, if you look down at the whole earth from space, you can still find that there are still large areas of dark brown barren land on the current earth, and the green areas are limited to the tropical and tropical areas along the coast. Moreover, due to the reckless overexploitation of industry, the pollution of the earth is also quite serious, and although the current situation is much better than it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, the species mutation caused by industrial pollution is still quite frequent. Therefore, during Cecilia and Martha's vacation, they must regularly survey and document the island's ecology and species variation. This enables the central computer to combine all the survey data to make more targeted ecological restoration measures.
As the most ecologically rich area on the island, Butterfly Valley is naturally the most important place for Cecilia and Martha's investigation. The sight of millions of butterflies dancing in front of them can easily capture the beauty of the girls, so Cecilia and Martha have been here almost every day in recent times, and Robin and Lee have been driving them home at sunset.
At this moment, driving the multi-functional maglev car, Robin and Li chatted without a word while carrying the wine bottle, and quickly drove the car to the southeastern mountains, and skillfully transformed the multi-functional maglev into a mechanical spider form suitable for mountain driving before entering the mountains.
"Hey~ Driving this car reminds me of the Battle of Pluto and the Battle of Planet Wendini, those two battles were really enjoyable~"
Riding this huge mechanical spider over the steep cliff face, Li couldn't help but recall the previous picture.
"The combination of multi-purpose infantry vehicles with heavy firepower, which is cheaper to manufacture in a mountainous environment, is more powerful than heavy recruits who are not very capable individually, and it is more effective to assist the heavy loaders in long-distance raids when the tactical combination is reasonable." Robin burped and replied listlessly.
"That's right, with a scout with sniper ability, and two or three heavy armorers with the ability to attack fortifications, a field platoon can play a role in the mountains." Lee didn't seem to notice Robin's depressed mood, and was still gushing with great interest.
Finally, Robin couldn't help it anymore and shouted at Li at the top of his voice: "Hey~Can we stop talking about this~"
"What's the matter, can't you get over it?" Lee glanced at Robin and muttered unpleasantly.
"I don't want to hear this just yet." After Robin poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, he suddenly pushed Li away from the driver's seat and shouted, "You kid is driving too slowly, at this speed, we won't be able to get there until it gets dark." Go away, let me come~"
was forcibly squeezed away by Robin, and Li suddenly looked unhappy: "Hey, you're drunk driving~"
"Phew~ Even if I drink a box of Martini, don't try to test the alcohol concentration in my blood~"
……
On the way, Robin and Lee are noisy and shouting all the way, startling countless birds. In the valley, it is another scene of tranquil and intoxicating beauty.
In the verdant valley, clear mountain springs meander and flow. Countless colorful butterflies of different colors converge into floating clouds, flying in groups in the valley like the sky and the sun. In the midst of this magnificent flock of butterflies, Cecilia and Martha, dressed in cool clothes, walked like elves of a mountain stream, and from time to time they gently caught a butterfly, took some samples from its scaly wings, and let it go.
"The number is about nearly 30% more than last year~ It seems that the ecology of Rhode Island is getting better and better." Putting down the sampling instrument in her hand, Cecilia found a stone and sat down, picked some wild flowers, and made a flower crown for herself to wear on her head.
"Maybe it won't be long before a lot of places on the planet will be as beautiful as they are here." Martha sat down beside Cecilia: "I really want to live here forever." ”
"yes, I don't want to go anywhere if I can live here forever. It's just ......" Cecilia shook her head at Martha, "It's just that there are people who don't like it, and I think he'll return to the battlefield after all." He didn't say it, but I knew he felt that it was where he belonged. ”
"That's right, men always think so strangely. Lee has been quietly tempted by me many times, and so is your Robin? Martha asked empathetically.
"No, Robin didn't say anything to me, but I could feel it." Cecilia took off the flower crown and shook her head in distress: "I feel that he has been very unhappy and irritable lately, but he doesn't like to talk......"
"Men are sometimes like children, he may just be bored, find Li for a few drinks, maybe get better."
"......"
"Don't worry too much about them, if he really wants to vent his violent tendencies, they should be able to satisfy him when Xia Zuo and Zhuo Luo come back." Speaking of this, Martha smiled and grabbed Cecilia's arm: "Every man has the blood of an adventurer in his bones, they are like children, they always have some messy thoughts. Besides, now that the Republic is in peacetime, there is nowhere to fight even if they want to, so it's not your problem, don't take it too seriously. ”
"Perhaps......" Cecilia smiled reluctantly at Martha.
At this moment, a startled bird suddenly flew over the valley at the mouth of the valley.
"Here they are."
Seeing this familiar scene, Cecilia and Martha picked up the tools and samples they had already packed and walked out of the valley hand in hand.
Outside the valley, Robin and Lee were already waiting there, and when Cecilia and Martha came out, they could smell the strong smell of wine from far away.
"Drinking again?" Sitting in the seat next to Robin, Cecilia asked softly.
"Hmm...... I drank a little while chatting with Lee. Robin avoided Cecilia's concerned gaze and replied with his head bowed.
“……”
After these two simple answers, Robin drove home silently. On the way, the two of them coincidentally wanted to find a topic to break the awkward silence at the moment, but at the moment when they looked at each other, their minds were blank. It was as if they had suddenly lost all the topics they could talk about, looking at each other and not knowing what to say.
During this period, Li tried to say a few jokes to break this inexplicable embarrassment, but he was obviously not good at it, and after several cold jokes in a row, he didn't even make himself laugh... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
