Chapter 74 The Macaw (II)
"Long?" Chen Mo smiled.
This old man is in the ecosystem, without a living person or a pet, and can live for 24 years without mental disorder, which can already be said to be a blessing in misfortune.
It's understandable to see the same kind of people and feel like they've seen them before.
"He, he, I, save us, comrade-in-arms, called, Chen, Chen Banshan."
The old man thought for a long time before he remembered the man's name.
The man, as the name suggests, is like a mountain.
is the most reliable comrade-in-arms, the most solid backing, but it's a pity ...
Chen Mo looked shocked from his expressionless face.
"What's your comrade's name?!"
"Chen, Chen, Chen Banshan." The old man stumbled, and after thinking for a long time, he felt that the name was not wrong, why did the young man in front of him have a ghostly expression.
"You're from the first column of the Home Planet Resistance?" Chen Mo felt his brain roaring.
"Well, it's... Yes, first, first column. The old man nodded.
"Do you know Whitestone?"
The old man was surprised.
"That, that's, yes, we, the Resistance, the first, the first column, the captain... But we'll call him Lao Bai. ”
Chen Mo felt that his heart was about to jump out.
"My name is Chen Mo, I am Chen Banshan's widow, my adoptive father Lao Bai, and now he is in Ross." Chen Mo felt that he was trembling when he spoke.
"You, you are, Brother Banshan, son... Son?! Shiraishi, long, sir, not dead?! The old man's mouth opened wide.
There are 20 billion people on the home planet, 3 billion people on the lunar base, 7 billion people on Mars, and 4 billion people on Ross. The rest of the planetary bases together also have nearly six billion people.
Among the four billion people of humanity.
From the home planet to the star Ross.
Spanning 10.89 light years, he was able to meet his father's former comrades-in-arms at this time.
What kind of fate is this?!
Chen Mo would like to call it a miracle.
"Yes, I'm Chen Banshan's son." Chen Mo didn't know why, but he had the urge to cry: "What do you call the old gentleman?" ”
"My name is... I, my name, I..."The old man hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I, forgot, I can't remember, my name, what." ”
Chen Mo nodded.
I haven't spoken to a human in decades, and it's reasonable that I can't remember my name.
"No, but, I, I have, I have a nickname."
"What?"
"Gold, King Kong, Macaw."
Chen Mo remembered the colorful macaw on Lao Bai's shoulder for no reason.
Chen Mo had already believed what the old man said.
However, in line with the principle of not being trustworthy, Chen Mo still asked, "Do you know what Lao Bai's ability is?" ”
The macaw thought for a moment and nodded.
"Snipe, snipe, sniper, gun, very accurate!"
At this point, Chen Mo could finally be sure that this old man was a member of the original rebel army.
Then during the First Home Star War, the rebels were defeated, and the martial god Deng Jianxing had not yet come out of the mountain, and it was estimated that it was at that time that the old man fled to Ross.
The old man was also full of emotion.
Twenty-four years later, seeing mankind again, it is actually after the old man.
Maybe this is a way for God to help him repay Chen Banshan.
The old man, who never believed in God, was full of tears, took Chen Mo's hand, and said that he would give Chen Mo some more food.
It's hard to resist hospitality.
Chen Mo nibbled on the fishy and unbearable food, listening to the old man slowly tell the past.
The old man's speech became more and more fluent.
It turned out that the old man went to Ross as a bounty hunter after the defeat of the first home star war, and happened to run into Ross to investigate and kill the remnants of the rebels on the home planet.
Over the years, the old man hadn't thought about leaving this hellish place, but every time he wanted to go out, he would encounter a fierce exchange of fire between humans and Ross protists.
You don't have to think about it, and you know that this should be the years when Eideng will just start developing the central and northern mining areas.
After a few times, he had no idea of running away.
Anyway, when you go out, you have to face the pursuit of the Rus' - before Chen Mo came, the old man didn't know that the war was over a long time ago.
Then the old man, like the Ross protists, gradually withdrew from Baishiling all the way to the west, and gradually withdrew here.
At the same time, the old man also told Chen Mo that the reason why he was able to survive for so long was because the fungus blanket did not extend into the cave.
It seems that the fungus blanket can only appear in places of light.
The old man's burning material was a coal mine-like product from an unknown cave.
The food, on the other hand, comes from every time the cattle and dogs graze, the old man will sneak away one or two Quincchi chickens.
Although this thing tasted very bad, it seemed to be rich in nutrients, and the old man's body and bones had not been weakened for so long.
As for the cattle dogs... It's just a big dish that can only be encountered during the New Year's holidays.
Chen Mo naturally also talked about his own experience.
From the failure of the energy uprising on the home planet to his own rescue by Lao Bai, exile on Ross Star, all the way to the assassination of the inspector.
The old man listened with relish.
also praised Chen Mo from time to time for two sentences: the tiger father has no dog son.
Finally, when he heard that Chen Mo had entered the corps and led the team of Strangers deep into the ecosystem, causing a restlessness and being surrounded and suppressed until the entire army was annihilated, the old man sighed leisurely.
"What do you call 'spores'? Sexon? ”
"Yes, Sexon." Chen Mo nodded.
"When will 'Spore' fire energy bombs?"
"I don't know."
The old man muttered for a long time, not knowing what to say to himself, and sighed as he looked at the wound on Chen Mo's stomach that had healed but left a hideous scar.
"If your father were alive, he would have been a great man, and you wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther, Chen Mo hurriedly stopped the old man's reminiscences.
"Whether it's by seniority or age, I should call you uncle. Uncle, how do we get out of this place? ”
The old man thought for a moment.
"You're leaving?"
"You don't want to go?" Chen Mo was surprised.
"Hmm... I really want to go see Lao Bai, but... The way I am now..."
"You are a living legend." Chen Mo waved his hand: "Godfather must miss you very much... By the way, the old man had a macaw. ”
The old man's face was full of folds with a smile on his face.
"It's been a long time since I've interacted with people, and I'm a little worried."
"It doesn't matter, believe me, judging from your experience of living in the ecosystem for more than 20 years, there must be countless people who want to ask you to be a mining consultant."
The old man shook his head.
"I don't want to go."
Chen Mo thought about it for a while, and knew why the old man thought so.
He is not young anymore, at least he is about the same age as Lao Bai, and after so many years of life in the ecosystem, I am afraid that there will be problems with his physical functions a long time ago. I don't know how long I have to live, so I naturally want to enjoy the rest of my life and talk about the past with old friends.
Rather than going to which large company to do what Rausch mining consultants.
"That's easy to do, the old man is mixing very well now, he opened a bar, we usually live in the bar, you can go to the bar, drink and chat with the old man, isn't it also very good."
The old man nodded.
"It's still pretty good."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then please, I don't have a compass and don't know the way out."
The old man smiled, revealing his big yellow-green teeth.
"Wait a minute, put on the scales of a bulldog and follow me."
