When Zhou Jinru left the bar and returned to the hotel, the night was already completely dark, and when he walked downstairs, he saw Xingji waiting for him at the door.

Miss Liboli frowned slightly: "Doctor went to the bar?" ”

The Rhode Island operatives knew that the Doctor couldn't drink, and if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to walk back on his own legs now, and the only way he could be drunk was to go to the bar for a soda.

"I'm just going to try my luck."

"Alright, Doctor, take off your clothes, there's still time, I'll do the laundry."

Isn't Xingji a researcher?

Astronomers also do laundry?

Zhou Jinru couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"It's true, go take a shower, Talat doesn't limit the amount of water used every day."

Xingji pushed the doctor into the shower and took his clothes in a basket to wash.

Zhou Jinru came out of the shower, and soon found Xingji who was washing clothes, a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to lean against the door frame.

Xingji was a very smart girl, and when she guessed Zhou Jinru's thoughts, she took the initiative to ask, "The doctor is curious why I do these things?" ”

"I was a bit surprised, I could do it myself, there was no need to ...... like this"

He tried to walk in, but was glared back by the Riboli with piercing eyes, so he had to grin and reach out and grab his damp hair.

Xingji sighed while changing the water: "I didn't care for people a long time ago, and the doctor also knows my past, I used to work in a certain department of the Rhine life, in charge of ...... I was in charge of some of the docking work, and at that time all the housekeeping was done by the housekeeping staff, and I just had to pay for it. ”

This is perfectly normal for researchers, who have a limit to their energy, who devote all their body and mind to their research, and do the rest clumsy and powerless.

"Later, my sister, that is, Elena, she had a little accident, the two of us became infected one after another, the treatment did not take long, but it was a very serious blow for us, she came to Rhode Island first to see a doctor, and I, I chose to travel alone, take care of myself, I still remember the first time I did the laundry very helpless......"

Zhou Jinru watched Xingji turn off the faucet and continue the work at hand, when he met Xingji, the other party traveled with Yuanshan, and must have learned a lot of common sense in life.

Xingji said softly: "It's actually very simple to take care of the doctor, sometimes the doctor doesn't even need us, everyone is quite helpless, and so is Elena's child, she always annoys me." ”

The two sisters of Xingji, like most of the sisters Zhou Jinru knew, disliked each other.

He didn't want Xingji to continue to reminisce, so he changed the topic with a smile: "Xingji, have you been looking at the starry sky recently?" ”

"Look, I can't understand the starry sky now."

Miss Liboli held the basin and hung the laundry on the balcony so that it was almost dry the next morning.

At this time, the night was getting darker, and the sky was very clean, and occasionally there were stars shining, but Xingji did not take a second look.

Zhou Jinru found that her mood was a little negative, so he asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

"Ever since I got the Source Stone Disease, it's getting harder and harder to get revelations from the stars, astrology is gradually losing its effect, and I don't know what to do, if you have a way, can you help me?"

In Xingji's physical examination report, her infection level was only 4%, and her symptoms were minimal, but she herself said that her source stone skills were declining, but the test results showed that the power had barely changed, and there was no data on the decline.

Zhou Jinru thinks that it is the source stone disease, so that Xingji can no longer be sure what his future is, in fact, most of the infected people have such anxiety, people in this land have too much fear of the source stone disease, so that after becoming infected, a considerable number of people can not bear the blow and choose to cut themselves off.

Both he and Kelsey have research topics on the psychological construction of operators, and in terms of effectiveness, he is more suitable than Kelsey to help operators stabilize their psychological conditions.

"If you're worried about the future, and the future isn't here yet, we should take control of our lives now, at least it won't get any worse."

"Doctor, your words don't sound like you're comforting me."

Xingji held her hands behind her back, she used to be a lady of the sky, of course, and she is now, but with a shadow.

There are many operators like her in Rhode Island, and even if they are infected, they are all trying to live.

Miss Liboli thought for a long time, but she still chose to speak: "Doctor, there is one thing that has been pressing on my heart for a long time, like a big stone, weighing me out of breath. ”

"If you want to say it, you can do it now, Yan Guo has something to say it casually, and I will listen to it casually."

It is probably not a trivial matter to make Xingji pay so much attention.

She opened her mouth, hesitated, and said slowly: "Doctor, on the day of Elena's accident, I happened to perform an astrology, and that was the last time I got a message from the stars, but ......"

Zhou Jinru asked, "Are you not satisfied with the result?" ”

"I should say, it's not good."

"But you also said that astrology has a half chance of error, or even error."

Xingji shook his head: "No, it's different, doctor, the technique of astrology is a complete set of theories handed down by my family, and its accuracy is very high, but this time it is very different. ”

Zhou Jinru became even more curious, and asked, "Then what enlightenment did you get?" ”

"The stars are extinguished, the sun is only a false miracle, and everything will be dark and silent."

“…… Do you believe it? ”

"I don't know." Xingji shook his head in annoyance.

"Then don't believe it."

"Huh?"

Zhou Jinru said: "I once read a story that some leftover magazines preached that the end would come in a few years, but some people really believed it, quit their jobs, sold their houses, dug a pit and prepared to hide to survive the apocalypse, and always prayed that the end would not come, but the end really did not come." ”

Xingji said cautiously: "It can't be that prayers have an effect, right?" ”

"Of course not, there was only one reason for the apocalypse in the first place, the film and television company made a doomsday movie to build momentum for box office publicity."

Xingji looked at Zhou Jinru blankly, he didn't expect this to be the result.

Zhou Jinru said again: "But what about the end of the day, should we live or live, when the day comes, when we can't live, we will die together, do we have to make ourselves unhappy for a word?" ”

"The night will come to an end, the stars will come to an end, what's the point of everything?"

Zhou Jinru smiled: "It's dawn at the end of the night, it's time to get up." ”

"Wake up?"

The girl with her long blue hair muttered, Xingji's face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Doctor, do you mind if I wake you up every morning?" ”

……

I have to say that Xingji's work is very punctual, and the next morning, the first person Zhou Jinru saw when he opened his eyes was her.

He admits that it is very pleasing to the eye to see beautiful girls when he opens his eyes.

Except for Amiya.

Amiya really can't.

will make him work overtime, overtime and overtime.

But now it's okay, the doctor is out on a tour, and Amiya is working overtime in Rhode Island.

Feng Shui takes turns, happy.

With bread in his mouth, Zhou Jinru opened today's schedule and put down business, they planned to go to the most famous attractions in Talat, which was also one of the places that Eyjafarah wanted to visit.

One thing that the inhabitants of the city care about is a red willow tree located in the garden in the center of the city.

This plant is suitable for growing in arid areas, and the lifespan of the tree is five or six hundred years, or even longer, and it can generally grow one or two meters tall.

When Zhou Jinru led the group to the garden in the center of the city, he watched the pink flowers of the red willow tree with a height of more than two meters, and a narrator next to him was enthusiastic and told the story behind the tree.

"This tree was planted by the Pasha of Talat a hundred years ago, and he says that this tree is a testament to the good life that people live in this oasis."

Yan Ke looked at it twice, and said lightly: "The lifespan of this red willow may not be so long, it is only a hundred years, it has already shown the posture of aging, and in another twenty years at the earliest, its lifespan will come to an end." ”

Zhou Jinru thought to himself, fortunately, no one here can hear what you are saying, and some words can't be said so clearly.

"Senior, let's go take pictures!"

Due to the relatively complete protection measures of the red willows, they can only take pictures from a distance of five meters, and under the camera, several people stand in two rows, with red willows like umbrellas in the background, and clusters of pink flowers are very beautiful.

After taking pictures, they rushed to the next attraction.

After sending off this group of tourists, the narrator breathed a sigh of relief and found that there was a girl with long blue hair who had not left, so he kindly asked, "This young lady, have you lost something?" ”

Xingji hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just want to take another look." ”

"Okay."

At this time, two more tourists came over, a man and a woman.

The narrator walked over enthusiastically, and before he could speak, he heard one of the female tourists ask, "This is the tree you are talking about?" ”

"Yes."

The narrator said in surprise: "Sir, isn't it the first time you've come to us?" ”

The male voice who spoke was exceptionally gentle: "Yes, this is my third time here. ”

Xingji couldn't help but look over, and the two tourists were facing away from her, unable to see their faces.

I've come a long way from the doctor to catch up.

Miss Liboli turned away.

……

"What do you want to drink?"

"Anything goes."

The most troublesome thing is the word casual, no matter how you choose, it's not good.

Zhou Jinru had no choice but to go to the cold drink shop alone, followed by Hei, and the moment the two of them entered the door, Hei, who was walking behind, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder.

"Doctor."

"I know."

In their line of sight, a man with long orange hair was looking over.

Zhou Jinru ordered a few cold drinks and asked Hei to take them back, while he himself stayed in the store.

The long-haired orange man didn't say a word, his eyes showed no mood swings, and a gold coin flipped between his white-gloved fingers.

"I thought you'd choose to show up a little later."

The other party said softly: "If I don't show up again, maybe I won't be able to talk to you like this." ”

Zhou Jinru shook his head, unscrewed a bottle of soda and took a sip: "Don't use honorifics." ”

"Heh, when do you think it's the right time?"

"It's now, where the people are, where the goods are."

"Don't worry, the people are here, the goods are there, I haven't done anything, I take the liberty of asking, how do you know about me?"

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that someone must want to see me, there may not be weapons of mass destruction here, but there must be people who want to see me." ”

"Elliott, you can call me by name, I've come to see you, just to find out one thing, what kind of person is that Kelsey so important."

Zhou Jinru took another sip: "Now you see it." ”

"Yes, I saw you, there are some differences between you and what I thought, I thought you would be a cautious and prepared person, but I didn't expect you to be like this...... Brusque. ”

"Rough, good, Elliott," Zhou Jinru put down his drink and couldn't help laughing, "You, it's kind of interesting, to be honest, if you show up a little later today, I can't guarantee what will happen." ”

The man named Elliot shook his head slowly, "You and that Kelsey are two very different people, but there is one thing you think wrong. ”

"What?"

"There really are weapons of mass destruction here."

……

"It's time for us to go."

The red-haired Lisa Cohen packed her things, strapped her backpack, and prepared to set off with her three team members.

They've got enough money, food and water, and a car they've stolen from the robbers, refueled, and ready to embark on a new journey.

"To be honest, I've wanted to go to Victoria for a long time, and I've heard that the language is the same as what we know, and it's a little more civilized, so maybe I'll find my way home."

The handsome Elias held a notebook in his hand, on which he recorded the comparison of some words, which was used to analyze the differences between the languages.

Captain Lisa had one more thing in mind, and while Tina started the car, she asked, "How is your mission?" ”

"It's not good, there are obviously more monsters in the vicinity, and there are some casualties, there will be a survey team coming soon, it's time for us to leave now, the only pity is that my football team can't do it."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Lisa added in her heart that she knew very well what the character of her team members was.

Suddenly, Alexander's thick voice came: "Guys, we might be in trouble. ”

"What's wrong?"

The car had just started and was driving slowly on the road, but it didn't go far before it was forced to stop.

I don't know when, the crowd on the street seemed to be stirred by something, and all of a sudden it became chaotic, paralyzing the traffic.

"What's that?"

Tina, who had just left the steering wheel with her hands, widened her eyes and said in amazement, "Why are those monsters here?!" ”
