Chapter 17: The Last Break
The warm sunlight sprinkled on the city square of the origin city, and the water column from the central fountain constantly changed its shape, and the water droplets splashed in all directions, bringing a burst of clarity.
The square was empty, except for cold, autonomous machinery shuttling back and forth, busy with the maintenance of the city. A few unknown small animals, frolicking in the grass around the fountain, these are mature species brought down from the Noah, stocked in the city as experimental subjects, but they did not have the consciousness of being experimental subjects, and soon regarded the city as their own territory, freely haunting the streets and alleys of the city, and even established a good relationship with the twenty-eight captains, bringing rare joy to the busy construction period.
In the corner of the square, there is a very ordinary coffee shop, which is also provided by self-disciplined machinery, the store is small and exquisite, and there are several sets of tables and chairs at the door, where guests can enjoy morning tea in the warm sunshine.
Shul and Moria sat in front of the coffee shop, soaking up the sun while sipping on the fragrant coffee and delicate snacks, which tasted very good, not inferior to those centuries-old shops in Pavatiga. In fact, the cooking level of the Brown Star people is not bad, only due to the scarcity of consumable materials during the exile period, the quality of life will be compressed, after coming to the new Brown Star, the explosive increase of consumable materials, they naturally found their original life pursuit, which can be regarded as the benefits enjoyed in advance by these volunteers who risked their lives to participate in the experiment.
There was no one else in the city except for them, everything was ready, there were only three days left until the end of the experiment, success or failure, it would be revealed in three days, everyone had done all the preparations that could be made, and the rest could only be decided by the gods and fate.
In this case, instead of staying in the city to spend these three days, it is better to go out and relax, go to the place you like, enjoy the leisure and tranquility that you have never had for a long time, no longer have to bear the fate of the race, no longer have to look for hope, let go of all burdens, and be your true self, so that even if three days later, you will finally usher in the result of failure, and you will not leave regrets.
Beaches, mountain tops, deep valleys, dense forests, each captain has his own favorite environment, but he has no chance to really experience it in his life, he can only satisfy himself through imagination in the video, and now he finally gets the opportunity, why suppress his desires and desires, so, with the encouragement of Shuer, everyone left the city to make full use of these last three days to make up for the regrets of the previous decades.
There is no need to worry about personal safety, each person or group of people is equipped with sufficient mechanical guards, it is enough to fight a small-scale modern war, and those primitive animals on the planet cannot threaten their safety at all. As for the origin city, don't care, anyway, the city has a central control system management, which can deal with the vast majority of emergencies, even if the computer can't handle the problem, it can also be remotely commanded by the captains through communication equipment, and they don't need to worry about it at all.
And there were Shure and Moria, who had promised that the safety of the city could be temporarily entrusted to them, and the captains could not be more assured of their promises. After Shuer showed the power of the gods several times before, in just a few days, the status of the two in the hearts of the Brown Star people has been close to mythology, in the eyes of the Brown Star people, now they are a symbol of omnipotence, second only to the gods, with them guarding here, even the source of disaster is not a problem, not to mention just a simple city security issue.
"The sunshine is so nice. Moria tore up a few young grasses and put them in her coffee, and drank them with a happy face. As if satisfied with the taste, Lin Jing stretched his waist for a long time, walked slowly into the sun, stretched his body as much as he could, and the outer skin quickly became lignified, and in a blink of an eye it had been transformed into a lush oak tree, and under the sun, the leaves were lush and full of vitality.
Shuer elegantly put down the empty coffee cup, he liked tea the most when he was in his hometown, but he would not resist the coffee from the Western Continent trade, but unfortunately, Pavadiga did not have such high-quality coffee, well, in fact, there is, it is too expensive, it is better to treat it as nothing, and now he finally has the opportunity to enjoy exquisite food and life, which makes his mood a lot better.
Shaking the holy robe, and releasing a magic spell in his hand, it is not a real magic at all, but it uses energy to form an inclined plane in the nozzle of the fountain, so that the water column that spews out changes direction and sprays onto the crown of Moria's tree, and the clean water washes the dense branches and leaves, and the branches and leaves hanging with water droplets are more green, in exchange for a burst of cheerful laughter from the forest spirit.
As if infected by laughter, Shuer rolled his eyes, suddenly ran to the bottom of the tree, showed his childhood skills, climbed up to the treetops in a few steps, and lay down comfortably among the branches, while enjoying the sunlight through the gaps in the leaves, while listening to the rustle of the breeze through the treetops, surrounded by the unique plant fragrance of forest spirits, very happy feeling, well, it would be better if it was not an acorn but a fruit suitable for human consumption.
"Hey, that's a lot. Another attempt to get Shul to taste the acorns failed, Moria complained regretfully, and she didn't know what to regret about such a sure failure, but this time, Moria didn't play a prank, but gently shook the leaves, letting the cool wind surround Shure.
"Fawn. Shuer wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally shook his head with a smile, "No, it's nothing. ”
"Hey, that's right. The canopy of the tree shook slightly, making a rustling sound of leaves rubbing, as if laughing, "At this time, I want to say thank you, but you can think of it." ”
Yes, Xiuer really wanted to say thank you to Lin Jing, along the way, Moria has always been by her side, supporting and helping herself in her unique way, like a partner, like a friend, and like a mentor, if it weren't for her, she would definitely take a lot of detours, and maybe even go astray. However, when the words came to my mouth, I found that this thank you could not be said at all, is there a need to say thank you, no, there is no need for this at all.
"So...... When are you going to help me carve the monument?" Shure squinted his eyes and whispered, "I want you to carve it yourself." ”
"Eh, that's what you said, you actually said it yourself. Although they like to take their tombstones back to the forest and tree them around their birthplace after the death of their close partners, symbolizing eternal companionship, only in the face of the most special friends, these impatient creatures will spend a few days or even months carving a tombstone with their own hands, so for Lin Jing, it is enough to carve a monument for someone.
"No way, you're not Sasa, you're going to force me to say this after all, in that case, I might as well say it sooner," Shul smiled and poked at the trunk of the tree under him, "So everyone is happy, isn't it?"
"Yo Yo, you've really been plotting against me all along, right, and you specifically chose me to say it when I became a tree, I see, you're more interested in plants than beasts, aren't you? Before Moria's words were finished, she was suddenly poked a few times by Shuer, and exclaimed, "Oh, don't poke me, it's very itchy, I can't stand, ah, I fell." ”
"Boom", then, a tall oak tree fell to the ground along with the passengers above, although it did not damage the building, but also crushed a lot of outdoor facilities and decorations, if it was just a simple fall, it was okay, the key is that the seven or eight meters high thick oak tree began to roll forward, sometimes shrinking into a forest spirit, sometimes expanding into an oak tree, with the mischievous laughter of the forest spirit, the oak tree rolled all the way along the street to cause damage, smoke and dust billowing a mess, until the end of the street, fell into the ditch on the side of the road to stop.
After a long time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ditch and climbed the edge of the ditch, and the embarrassed Shuer climbed up from the ditch, his clothes were disheveled and his face was strange, he rubbed his waist according to his neck, and his head was still covered with grass stalks.
"You've got mad deer disease. Feeling that his whole body was in pain, Shuer complained with a bitter face, "Can you remind me before you go crazy next time, at least let me be mentally prepared." ”
"Yo Yo, what are you talking about, I don't understand the lingua franca, Yo Yo. Lin Jing happily jumped out of the ditch, but was immediately bombarded back by Shuer, and it seemed that every Lin Jing could not remember it, and jumped out neatly again, and Moria, who was in the form of Lin Jing, jumped around Xiuer with a proud face, "It turns out that you are really a pervert who reacts when you see wild animals, I ...... Woooooooo ”
"Alright, shut up. Shure glared at Moria, slapped her deer on the back a few times, and turned away.
"Eh, where are you going?" said Moria, happily following Shuer, "Do you want to find a place where no one is around...... Ah. ”
"To solve...... Phew, go to work. Shuer rolled his eyes, no, if you stay with this guy for too long, you will become abnormal, "The Brown Star people can rest, I'm not so happy, whether it's our side, Lisa's side, or Lord Luna's side, or even Delia's side, there are still a lot of things to do, if you don't be fully prepared, who knows what will happen when you enter the Great Rift in three days." ”
"But didn't you say you could do it tomorrow?"
"I changed my mind. Xiuer choked, "Today's things must be done today, and they must not be delayed until tomorrow, no." ”
"Yes, of course, hehehehehe. ”
