Chapter 009: The Beganer Incident
On the way, Yelu Zhousheng received a message from Shangguan's sister-in-law, "It was found from the facilities team of the logistics department that Watson took a set of vehicle-mounted nuclear activity detection equipment with him before departure, and he and you both drove out through the No. 6 tail vent, and he had a habit when driving: 99 out of 100 times went straight to the destination, and never turned around until it was absolutely necessary." ”
"Received, thank you, sister-in-law." Yelu Zhousheng smiled.
He thought that he hadn't turned a corner since he got out of Vent 6, and he had never paid attention to such a thing. Shangguan's sister-in-law's words were concise, and it was not a simple habit, but now he believes it. Only people who are strongly disturbed in their hearts will chatter. He thought of the last time he had discussed with Watson - the question of the rebirth of Earth-2.
Yelu Zhousheng found himself flying straight towards the bottom of the Pacific Ocean of Earth 2, he did not make any course adjustments, only pulled up the front of the car at the last moment, and then let the space car go in the most natural direction.
He walked through a sharp stone forest, never taking the initiative to strike except for the necessary evasion.
Soon his spacecraft slid to the summit of the Andes, and as it glided along the descending slopes, the spacer naturally pointed north.
6,000 kilometers were soon left behind, with a vortex formation like the Caribbean Sea on Earth1 in front of it. He imagined himself as Watson, mostly focusing on a place in his car, imagining that there was also a numerical display there, and there were also flashing red and green numbers.
And the driving behavior becomes a completely passive reaction, moving only when you have to change course and altitude.
Yelu Zhousheng didn't know if it worked. The last time he had drawn a figure 8 all over Watson, this time he left it to his intuition.
Between the continents of North and South America, a large vortex is made up of a large group of arc-shaped islands. These arc-shaped islands enclose the area as an inland abyssal trough. He was moving clockwise along the edge of the trough.
Since crossing the Andes, his track has drawn a large, 6,000-kilometre-deep reverse question mark, and his current location is the starting point of that question mark.
In the ancient days of Earth1, there was an intelligent race called the Mayans, who were said to have lived on the edge of this vortex, and their ruins later slid down the continental shelf.
At that time, there was still a vast ocean on Earth 1. Later, when the ocean dried up quickly, all eyes of the ancestors were focused on the stranded whales, and no one paid any attention to the legends.
He knew that such information was stored in Watson's mind, and he would have thought of it when he was driving.
Once again, he passively avoided an island that blocked his view. But a huge swarthy cave "roared" and crashed over, instantly swallowing Yelu Zhousheng's high-speed space car.
He maneuvered the vehicle as fast as he could in the dark, causing its power to go out instantly. But it still came to a jolting stop with great inertia and after several violent scrapes.
Yelu Zhousheng sat in the cockpit and let his mind return. The image of Hejing, which had just popped up out of nowhere, disappeared.
He fumbled with the power to start the space car and make it idle, and the light in front of the car only flashed to the left, and then the light source came out steadily.
Opening the cockpit, an ethereal echo of the cave kept coming. It's like a lullaby, like your own tinnitus, or the helpless aria of the Mayans. When he tried to catch it, there was nothing.
Yelu Zhousheng stepped on his shadow stretched by the light and walked in, his feet dry and smooth. Around the corner where the light couldn't reach, he stepped on a shell that bounced off and hit his leg.
Then Yelu Zhousheng saw the hazy silhouette of the deformed space car, and there were no lights in the car. But there was still a string of dazzling red numbers, flickering tenaciously under the support of the independent power supply of the detector, reflecting Watson's head sitting crooked.
At the gate of the Moon Central Hospital, lunar rovers from various flower districts with different orbital access rights occupied all the tracks, and one after another lunar residents with stomachs and painful expressions were helped down from the vehicles.
All the people who come here today are suffering from stomach upset. The reason for this is that shellfish products from Earth2 are available for the first time today in various flower areas.
Although it was only a tasting, with only a symbolic addition of three to five dried shellfish to each serving, it was no less terrifying than a plague for the inhabitants of the moon, who had only been accustomed to whale jerky since birth.
The deputy leader, Archie, because of his rank, he ate five dried shellfish. Accompanied by the new female secretary, Mary, he was stuck behind a crowd of vehicles.
Mary was spared by secretly doing pre-dinner makeup against Hejing's digital photo, which was a new requirement she made for herself after she was promoted to deputy chief's secretary. Because of the needs of work, she always flirted with the deputy leader while eating.
Archie craned his neck anxiously to look out of the car, his unspeakable displeasure at being ignored. The moon orbiter, which pursues too much speed, has to sacrifice other freedoms, such as gasel, overtaking, and so on.
But he saw that the Grand Chief's car had used the hospital's emergency tracks. The scratched car was still far away, and the doors of the emergency department were far away. Archie endured the discomfort in his stomach, a little indignant.
Yelu Zhousheng soon received a report from the emergency department that Watson was not in danger of life.
He contacted his wife and Jing, and it took him a long time before she replied. Until the call, she had been studying the stable inheritance of the cloned personality genes against the relevant materials, and she had not eaten yet.
"I've seen the news and the Ministry of Food's announcement, so I'm relieved." Listening to Hejing's soft words, Yelu Zhousheng's heart felt a burst of warmth, "I found Watson."
He also informed Shangguan's sister-in-law of Watson's latest situation, and she was maintaining order at the scene and also did not eat.
This time, there was self-blame and uneasiness in her tone, "How did I not think that when his mind was running at high speed, his body would be the most sluggish. ”
Yelu Zhousheng was in a good mood at the moment, and joked to her, "Then when Brother Watson only thinks about the most primitive questions, his body reacts ......"
Forget it, to be serious, such a joke is inappropriate for a big leader and a middle-level staff, "Well, you're already good, sister-in-law, if it weren't for your timely message, maybe I wouldn't have found him today." Is Elder Hua okay? ”
"Oh, I just asked, and he said he only ate one, and he didn't come."
When Archie finally got on the line, he felt a sincere sense of shame. He is the deputy chief, the deputy chief.
Actually, there are many. The mediocre people at the top often forget the people at the bottom without realizing it, but once the people at the bottom forget them, their fears cannot be avoided.
