Chapter Sixty-Four: Get Down, Mom, Down
"It's raining these days." Shang Lu held an umbrella and stood next to Shen Jiang, "It should rain." โ
"It's annoying." The girl was wearing a black turtleneck, holding her arms and shivering, she looked down at her boots in the stagnant water, and frowned, "I can't dry my clothes for a week, and the sticky lake is wet, I can't stand this old bone, I'm afraid I'm going to get rheumatoid arthritis." โ
Although the climate is humid and nasty, the traces of winter fading can be seen everywhere, the bare mountain wattles on the roadside are pulling out new shoots in the drizzle, and the smell of everything growing in the soil is like a spider's web. Thick rain clouds and fog are like a huge pot lid, covering the 260,000-square-kilometer steamer in the Sichuan Basin, and a huge amount of life is being nurtured in the warm precipitation.
By mid-to-late February, Shang Lu's MEG-BCI system training course was nearing its end, and Shen Jiang had survived a total of 1,000 hours of inhuman torture, and she couldn't remember how many questions she had done, how many Wang Feng's songs she had sung, how many stories she had listened to, how many movies she had watched, how many times she had undergone hypnosis, and how many punches she had beaten Shang Lu - Shang Lu had actually survived.
It's lucky that this neuropathy didn't get killed.
"Get some wormwood?" Shang Lu said, "Wormwood removes moisture and cold, and the staff told me." โ
"I don't like wormwood." Shin Kang said, "I hate pungent tastes. โ
"Smelly?"
"No, it's addictive." Shin Kang nodded his head, "I hate everything that makes me addicted because they paralyze my brain. โ
The two of them went back to the tunnel along the old road to take a shortcut, but found that the iron door at the entrance of the cave was locked by someone who didn't know who locked it, Shen Jiang angrily kicked the rusty heavy iron chain and door lock, and shouted loudly What kind of bastard lock door is this, don't let me catch him, and if it falls into my hands, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat - Shen Jiang kicked his ankle for a while, and kicked his ankle again.
Shang Lu and Shen Jiang returned to the main road in the mountains, but they couldn't get into the tunnel, so they could only walk along the main road.
"I don't know if the person who locked the door has any good fruit to eat, but I know you certainly don't have any good fruit to eat right now." Shang Lu lifted Shen Jiang on his back, turned his head and said, "Leader, were you just going to pick the lock with your foot?" โ
Shen Jiang tilted his head over.
"The menstrual period is here, what's wrong with being a little grumpy."
"Then keep warm."
Shang Lu carried Shen Jiang on his back and staggered on the uphill road, Shen Jiang was slender but very light, she had long hands and long feet, one hand held Shang Lu's shoulder, and the other hand held an umbrella, like a small boat, driving in the boundless world of heavy rain.
"Supervisor, how many training subjects are left for the MEG system?"
"There's not much left." Shang Lu shook his head, "The mental torture for you is coming to an end, and the physical torture for me is also coming to an end, so everyone is happy." โ
"Can I take it away?"
"Of course you can take it away." Shang Lu was surprised why she asked such a question, "We spent so much effort to develop the MEG-BCI system, just to let you take it away, where you go, you have seen that OPMS-MEG helmet, right, that thing is only one in the world now, we don't have the ability to create a second one, it is for you, you can use it until you retire." โ
Shen Jiang was silent for a moment, rested his chin on Shang Lu's shoulder, and exhaled softly.
"Why me?"
"You want to ask, the only MEG-BCI system in the world, why did you choose you?" Shang Lu thought for a moment, "There's no special reason, it's just that you happened to appear in front of me, even if it's not ginger, there will be garlic onion and leeks, it's no difference." โ
"I don't believe it."
"Well, there is a particular reason for that." Shang Lu said, "To put it utilitarianly, you are the most powerful of all the giant machine pilots, and saving your life is to send you to a more important battlefield, to put it mildly, you are very good-looking." โ
He felt the breath in his back suddenly hold his breath, and after a moment she lowered her voice and said:
"Superintendent, do you know what you're doing?"
"I'm trying to save the world."
"You are a genius, so others can't see through your thoughts, you use this to play other people around, supervise you to use the absolute support of human society for you to fulfill your personal wishes, do you have the right to finally decide to give the only opms-meg helmet in all of humanity to whom?" Shen Jiang hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "Is it that the psychology of geniuses is more or less paranoid?" โ
"If you don't go crazy, you can't live."
Shen Jiang buried her head in the back of his neck and quietly took a deep breath, she didn't want the other party to notice her careful thoughts and small movements, so she controlled the amplitude of her breathing and slowly sniffed the smell of Shang Lu's body - what kind of smell was that? Slightly sour sweat mixed with the smell of mothballs, tide laundry detergent and soap, it smelled like sprouts sprouting in the moist and warm earth.
Good soil.
The girl said in her heart.
The dripping rain hung under the umbrella as if it were a curtain, Shang Lu carried Shen Jiang on his back and walked slowly on the winding mountain road, looking out through the curtain, everywhere was covered with green.
"Supervisor, when did you say this rain was the first ...... Day! Shen Jiang suddenly lowered the surface of the umbrella, and the big risk of crossing the mountains blew over the umbrella in her hand.
"Two weeks at most, sooner or later it will have to stop."
"I don't think it stops." Shen Jiang said, "The thief just wants to get along with us, this damn rain is getting heavier and heavier, fuck your mother, I wish you a child without asshole!" โ
Shang Lu frowned: "Leader, what are you talking about?"
"Scolding, fuck youโโ! I wish you no asshole when you have a babyโโ! Shen Jiang also raised his voice and shouted, but fortunately there were no pedestrians on the road in the heavy rain, and the girl's voice could only be heard by the weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road.
"Don't scold the leader, you scold it, it goes down bigger."
Shang Lu sighed.
"Down-you-mom-โโ!"
Shen Jiang shouted at the mountains.
The girl's mouth spit out some unclean and messy words, as if the umbrella above her head and the beaded curtain around her provided protection, and the wrath of God could not fall on her head, and Shen Jiang's mouth was messy all the way, and it was so messy that she was so calm and righteous that she was so confused that she was right.
But the next second, she blurted out "My day!" - Another gust of mountain wind came quickly and fiercely, rolling the umbrella in Shen Jiang's hand and pulling it out, she was caught off guard, she didn't hold the handle of the umbrella tightly for a while, the umbrella immediately rolled on the road twice, and fell under the cliff next to the road, this time Shang Lu and Shen Jiang were dumbfounded, the pouring rain came to their faces, and the two of them were poured into soup chickens in a few seconds.
"What do I say?" Shang Lu stopped and stopped on the side of the road.
The drenched Shen Jiang hugged Shang Lu's neck, and it took a long time for a word to pop out of his mouth:
"Day."
