The Great Central Desert.

The grasslands to the south are lush and endless.

Cattle and sheep graze, and low houses stand on either side of a road.

Obviously, the architecture of this whole area looks like a village, but here, it has technology far beyond the world.

The patrol mech, which is only slightly larger than a human, roams around the prairie day and night, checking for holes in the iron walls or monsters that the walls can't stop.

If a mutant with enough ability to break through the iron wall is found, the patrol mech will be able to immediately call the police, and those battle mechs will rush to the scene as fast as possible to deal with the monster.

The new generation of main combat mecha realizes fully automatic attack, without any manual control, and directly gives the command to attack, and the mecha will automatically simulate the entered attack mode to start the battle.

Ling Qi gave them the battle mode of No. 11, which was a video of the beating of the boy before, analyzed the combat values used in it, and captured all the movements of the girl in the fight in frames, and made a combat system and installed it in the controller of the mecha.

This allows me to flexibly switch between ranged gunfight and close-range knife combat.

But a machine is always a machine, and the drawbacks are not without it.

The battle mode has a fixed routine, and although long-range melee can be determined according to the enemy's position, it still lacks self-flexibility to a certain extent compared to real people.

After the old battle mode is figured out, it completely loses any advantage.

For now, though, it's enough to deal with a bunch of hunters and mutants.

When Ling Qi came out of the research room, it was already late.

The prairie sky is always so clear and beautiful.

Those twinkling stars are like a long river of bright lights in the boundless universe.

The maroon eyes looked quietly at the night sky, but they were as sparkling as Jingshu had depicted in the album.

No one doesn't love this beautiful starry sky.

Therefore, when he first noticed that Jing Shu was reluctant to leave the laboratory, he never understood why she wanted to stay.

Everything out there is so beautiful that it is impossible to stand in a small cage in the laboratory.

It wasn't until later, when he lived alone in F City, wandered alone, and saw the dark corners behind the glamour of human beings that the light could not be found, and the boy realized that maybe the outside world was not as good as he thought.

Follow the path to the only building in the grassland, the building is a shopping mall, everything was teleported to when it was teleported, but now it has been converted into an apartment by the humans, and the shops inside are fenced with bricks and stones, creating small rooms one after another.

The building is next to Aunt Li's house, and when I go back, I can smell the smell of meat coming from my aunt's house.

It's mutton broth.

Ling Qi smelled it, and the smell was very fragrant.

Aunt Li's cooking skills are very good, and I heard her say that when Jingshu was too lazy to soak noodles alone, she would get up from the bed and casually pack clothes and run to her house to eat.

"Ling Qi, are you back from work?" Aunt Li's voice sounded at the window.

The young man paused, and smiled helplessly: "I didn't go to work, there is no such thing as a job." ”

Aunt Li covered her mouth and smiled, "I know, just kidding, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Come in, I made a mutton soup pot tonight, your Aunt Liu, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Sun, they are all here, together, come on, come on! ”

couldn't resist the aunt, and the boy finally went in.

As soon as I entered the door, the aroma of mutton became stronger, and there were also Uncle Zhang, Aunt Liu, Uncle Liu, and six other aunts and uncles in the house.

plus Aunt Li and him, a total of eleven people.

It is a large round table with a steaming soup pot in the middle, as well as ingredients and fat beef.

Everyone at the table greeted the boy happily, in the past six months, the boy had helped them too much, and the initial fear of people with abilities like "experiments" had long since dissipated without a trace.

Now I am as happy to see a young man as I am to see my own grandson.

As soon as Ling Qi sat down, Aunt Liu next to him sandwiched several pieces of mutton for him, and said, "This is your Aunt Li's specialty, try it, this is what Jing Yatou loved to eat in winter before." ”

The boy thanked him, dipped some sauce and ate it.

Subjects do not actually eat human food, which does not do their body any good, and some of the food may even have a slight effect.

Many of the subjects had no sense of taste, so they couldn't even taste the food when it entered their mouths.

Unfortunately, Ling Qi belongs to the category that has no sense of taste.

"Is it delicious?" Aunt Liu asked.

"It's delicious." The young man smiled, "Auntie's craftsmanship is still so good." ”

Aunt Li covered her mouth and smiled: "It's good if you like it." ”

After eating a meal, it was lively, but what made Ling Qi a little headache was that the older generation of people in the countryside seemed to never be able to escape the problem of gossip at the dinner table.

"Ling Qi," Aunt Liu put down her chopsticks, glanced at the chestnut-haired young man, and asked with a slightly expectant expression, "You...... I'm from the same place as Jing Yatou, and I've been in touch for so many years, can I tell my aunts about the relationship between Jing Yatou and you, in the end...... Where have we got? ”

Ling Qi's hand paused suddenly.

It's like being suddenly hit the pause button.

A table of people, their eyes suddenly became bright, looking at the young man's eyes was very wrong, and he inexplicably felt like he was inquiring about his daughter-in-law's news.

“…… Relationship? Which step? The boy muttered in a low voice, as if he was puzzled by the question, and in fact, the confused look in his eyes really told everyone that the boy did not understand what the question meant.

Aunt Zhang was an anxious person, and said directly: "Ah, we mean when will you and Jing Yatou get married?!" ”

"Poof——!

Shi Liu, who was passing by Aunt Li's door, "inadvertently" heard this exciting question, so he squirted the unswallowed drink in his mouth out of the distance!

Ling Qi: "......"

Shi Liu: "......"

After being in human society for so long, I naturally know what it means to get married.

The chestnut-haired boy barely maintained his composure, and forced a smile and said, "That...... Aunts and uncles, you ...... Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. ”

But this weak rebuttal was not listened to by the aunts and uncles at all-

"How many tables shall we set for this banquet?"

"In addition to the village, those survivors also called together, there are many people."

"Well, is it better to use a wedding dress or a wedding dress for this wedding?"

"I'm afraid I can't find a wedding car, we are full of mecha in this place now, how can there be a car?"

"Then just take the mecha instead, how magnificent!"

“……”

Such and such.

The weak words of the chestnut-haired young man, one of the parties, were completely drowned in the saliva discussion of the uncles and aunts at the dinner table.

At this moment, Ling Qi deeply realized how the unmarried girls in the whole village at the dam banquet that Jing Shu had complained to him about would suffer from being swept away by gossip.

The headache is about to crack.

Just when the topic was about to reach "what should be the name of the male and female babies born" and "what color should be chosen for the hundred family cloths", the teenager felt that if he didn't stop it quickly, these people would even have to come up with the name of their grandson!

So Ling Qi stood up abruptly and said loudly: "You all misunderstood!" Me and Jing Shu, just, just-"

He thought about the last word for a long time.

Speaking of ordinary friends, in fact, the trust and friendship between the two have surpassed ordinary friends.

Speaking of lovers, but this thing is actually tan90° at all!

Say good brother, but、But Jingshu is a girl no matter how you say it! Isn't it too masculine to say the word brother in front of her uncle and aunt?!

In just 0.01 seconds, a lot of words actually flashed through the teenager's mind.

Who would have thought that a high-tech brain would one day rack its brains to deal with a bunch of gossipy aunts and uncles?!

Ultimately!!

The young man took a deep breath, and finally thought of words that could barely describe his relationship with Jingshu without making Jingshu feel masculine-

"Me and her, just-"

Aunt Li looked at Ling Qi expectantly, Aunt Liu pulled Uncle Zhang to gossip, Grandpa Sun also rarely showed a serious expression, Aunt Zhang and their families also had a heartbeat.

"It's just—"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the chestnut-haired young man who stood up closed his eyes and pinched his fists, which seemed to reveal a feeling of "out of the way", and in the end, he finally said:

"Good-girl-honey!!"

*

"Bang ——!!"

Listening to the gossip in the corner outside, the soles of Liu's feet slipped and fell heavily to the ground!

And after the people in the room heard Ling Qi's words, their expressions all became like this-

(?_?)。
