In the vast starry sky, the earth is the most inconspicuous drop of water after all, not even a wave.

But even such an inconspicuous drop of water has a satellite that accompanies it.

- The Moon

Today, the rapid development of human technology has long been able to establish space station habitats and planetary colonies in space, and various self-sufficient space stations have also become a beautiful scenery beyond the earth.

Among these space stations, there are extraterrestrial countries that have experienced wars of resistance and gained independent governance; There are also private space stations built by top wealthy people, which are also their private countries; There are also public space stations controlled by specialized airlines...

Every space station is a planetary dimension far from Earth, and secular legal provisions do not take effect here.

All rules and regulations are dominated by the big people who make the rules, and their will is the law.

In space, there are not only these space stations floating in the Earth's orbit, but also on the moon and even in the more distant Mars, there are many colonies built through modular "building blocks".

However, compared to the closest space station to Mother Earth, these lunar and Martian colonies are actually not in a good situation.

The truly rich would never choose such a place far from the earth and without corresponding supplies as their residence.

Even today, on distant Mars, there are habitable modular properties for sale made by large corporations, and these colonial residences are unbelievably cheap

- For only 100 million euros, you can buy a property on Mars.

However, despite their cheapness, few of the wealthy are willing to buy these colonial dwellings far from the earth.

Who would be stupid enough to live in a place like Mars where birds don't?

However, these things are indeed far away for ordinary people and those middle-class people who are not qualified enough.

But don't worry, the moon travel ticket and the Mars travel ticket are the tickets for those middle-class people who are unwilling to be ordinary and aspire to become the elite class.

After all, if you haven't eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run, isn't it a beautiful thing?

Looking at the world, I don't know how many ordinary civilians have never seen a pig run, and the price of hundreds of thousands of dollars can allow you to enjoy superior entertainment, so it seems that it is no longer an unacceptable thing to be cut as a leek by the elite class.

Even though these field experiences aren't even as good as Mewtwo's, it doesn't matter.

It's a pity that the pocket money of the elite class and the travel expenses of the middle class are an unattainable dream for those at the bottom of the margins.

At least for Lucy, it was an unattainable dream for her.

But now, the dream has fallen into reality, like a meteor falling, held in her hands.

......

......

Travel attraction on the far side of the moon, Wanhu Crater.

A lunar float floated in mid-air, hovering past the dark universe and the dark blue earth with only half of it exposed, and white puffy clouds flowing on the sphere, like white silk.

Everything here is static, except for the lunar float that is the only vivid thing.

It wandered alone on the surface of the moon until it came to a small complex of buildings.

[Wanhu Station] has arrived.

"Welcome to the Moon, we have arrived at the first travel point on the Moon, please do not walk around after getting off the bus, here we will be able to experience the experience that Mewtwo has never experienced before."

"Next, please get off the bus in an orderly manner and follow the tour guide's arrangement."

There are not many passengers in the floating car, and most of the seats in the car are vacant, but there are also more than a dozen tourists, and everyone's face is full of joy of traveling.

Except for a white-haired woman.

She was wearing a bloated airline suit, which she didn't wear because she hadn't stepped out of the car yet

Aviation helmet, wearing only a protective hood, showing the gray hair on the outside is dyed in a gradient color by the light.

"I didn't expect that the first time I came to the moon in my life, I would come with you." She looked out the window at the moon and said without looking back.

In the seat next to her, it was Sasha, who was also wearing a bloated airline suit and a hood, lively and pretty, with a happy face.

Hearing Lucy's emotion, she opened her eyes wide, smiled playfully, stretched out her finger and poked Lucy's face, and said with a smile:

"Does it matter? If you feel sorry for your money, then I can call you next time I travel to the island."

Lucy sighed softly and smiled helplessly, "No, I was just a little surprised... I never thought that I could really realize my dream, let alone that I would have the spare energy to invite someone else to come to the moon with me, and most importantly, that person is still you."

Sasha shook his head:

"It's no surprise that you can feel lonely when you travel alone, like going to the movies alone, going to the hospital alone, eating at a restaurant alone... I used to do these things a lot before I joined the Mann team."

"Every hacker needs to get used to being alone, even if they know very well that it will make them more likely to die suddenly." Lucy sighed.

"That's why we need to be together even more during his absence." Sasha continued to smile.

Lucy looked at her calmly and said, "Actually, I can still find Qiwei."

"She's from Team Mann, and maybe we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future, but she's an outsider after all, so why not look for her own people." Sasha said.

"That's right." Lucy said compromisedly.

"And the year-end bonus left by that bastard is enough for us to live happily for a while, not to mention that you still have the right to live in the space station, which ordinary people can't ask for in their lifetime." Sasha smiled, continuing to poke Lucy in the face:

"You're a veritable little rich woman now."

Lucy smiled bitterly for a while, reached out and patted Sasha's hand away, put the aviation helmet beside her on her head, stood up and communicated through the helmet's communicator:

"Let's go, it's time to get off."

At this time, the floating car happened to stop at the parking spot of the travel spot, and many passengers could not wait to get off the bus.

Sasha nodded, picked up his helmet, and put it on.

Following the tour guide, the two stepped out of the floating car.

Stepping on the soft ground, everything seems to be so beautiful, even walking has a fluttering feeling, some of the passengers around him have been impatient to jump in place, the whole person jumped several meters high, light like a swimming fish.

There was a voice from the tour guide in her ears, she was a little girl with a lovely face, looking like she was in her twenties, her voice was soft and good, but the content was the same introduction, nothing more than explaining the origin of Wanhu Crater and introducing who Wanhu was.

Many travelers are too lazy to listen to these boring contents, block the tour guide's channel, and play on their own, this trip is expensive, and they are not here to listen to the lectures.

[In view of the general environment,

The tour guide can't do anything about this, after all, when you get off the bus at the beginning, the travelers will be given limited freedom, and it is impossible for her to stop these middle-class people who are worth a lot of money to her.

Still, she was relieved that there were two tourists who were willing to listen to her.

Under the guidance of the guide, Lucy and Sasha walked to the outer edge of the crater.

"Ten thousand households... Lin Mo seems to be from China too, and I always feel that the two of them are very similar in some places." Sasha whispered to Lucy, and the two of them seemed to be at the same table in class.

Lucy pursed her lips, and as soon as she heard the word Lin Mo, her heart was a little irritable, and she subconsciously replied unhappily:

"It's been a few days, how can you pay it back

Can't you forget him?"

Sasha smiled softly, the laughter a little distorted through the communicator, but Lucy could still hear the scherzo in her laughter:

"You're not honest, Lucy—" She turned her head, and Lucy's figure was reflected in her helmet:

"Indeed, I cried that night when I heard that the nuclear bomb was coming at him... To be honest, I haven't felt that sadness in a long time."

"But now, since he said he won't die, then I have to believe it, if we meet again in the future, I still look like a crybaby, he will definitely laugh, then I have no chance."

"So, you're in a good mood now?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, but what about you, Lucy?" Sasha looked meaningfully at the "best friend" next to him, and asked word by word, "Why do you still look depressed and gloomy?"

"Heh, isn't that what I'm usually like this when I'm usual?" Lucy sneered.

Sasha watched her quietly, but finally didn't say anything.

"You two, go this way, don't get lost!"

The little girl in the tour guide waved vigorously in front of her, as if she had noticed that Lucy and Sasha had fallen behind, and in order to avoid falling into a situation where "no one cared", she didn't want the two passengers who were willing to listen patiently to run away.

Lucy followed without looking back.

Slowly following Lucy, Sasha stared straight at her back, sighing silently in her helmet.

As a fellow woman, she knows Lucy's heart very well.

Lucy is different from her, before she met Lin Mo, she still had teammates such as Mann to rely on, and her life was barely passable.

But Lucy is different.

Despite her strong disguise, Sasha could see the fragility of her strong disguise.

That night, she felt sad about Lin Mo's departure.

Lucy, on the other hand, felt fear.

She was like a helpless and poor abandoned person, sitting alone on the windowsill looking at the moon, her eyes confused and weak, as if her dreams had been shattered.

After that, she also began to get along with Lucy, and in just a few days, it also allowed her to get to know her new "best friend" better.

Lucy is strong, but also weak, and every time she looks up at the moon at night, she is not so much eager to achieve her dreams as she is longing to escape from something, and she is very insecure.

That's what Sasha is worried about...

Even though Lucy still pretends not to care, Sasha is well aware that she has studied psychology for some ulterior reason.

So she understands very well that once her "best friend" unloads her defenses, the feelings buried in her heart will definitely burst out like a blazing volcano!

A person like her, who has been lonely for a long time, once she is willing to accept the weakness of her heart, the feelings that pour out will definitely drown her and another person, and regard the other person as a lifelong dependence...... Sasha looked at Lucy's back and sighed silently.

If that day really comes, how should the girlfriend relationship between the two of them deal with themselves?

I don't know if the girlfriend relationship I worked so hard to build can make her heart defense stronger...

......

......

"Okay, that's all for the introduction of the Wanhu Scenic Area, there is still half a world of time to move freely, and when the time comes, we have to go to the next tourist spot, two of you, I'll wait for you in the train first."

Seeing that she had finally completed her job, the tour guide girl was immediately relieved, bowed slightly to the only two passengers who were willing to listen to her story, and finally ran back to the travel floating train as if she had escaped.

The two spacesuit-clad astronauts looked at each other and stopped for a long time, before finally Lucy said "Let's go" and she walked towards the Crater, and Sasha hurriedly followed.

Sitting on the edge of the moon pit,

Dangling her feet in the air and looking at the pitch-black moon pit like an abyss, Lucy was very quiet, and through the glass of her helmet, she could see that her expression was complicated.

Sasha sat quietly next to her, and could feel that Lucy's mood was not as happy as she had imagined.

It's strange, it's clear that Lucy wants to travel to the moon, but now she doesn't have the joy of her best friend.

"What's wrong? Looking sullen?" Sasha couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just think the moon... It doesn't seem to be what I thought it would be... Fun?" Lucy muttered incredulously.

Sasha tilted his head and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know, maybe it's not what I imagined, I used to wander around the world for a long time, until I finally came to Night City, it's chaotic, but it's also safe, for some reason, I've always been afraid that the Arasaka Company will find me... This fear has always made me feel like hell where I usually live." Lucy revealed her heart and said:

"Actually, I didn't go to school, and I knew everything about the moon from advertisements and Mewtwo, where I could run around freely and unfettered, and I could drive the moon rover without being trapped in this cumbersome flight suit..."

Sasha nodded thoughtfully, "Do you think that the real moon is different from the one in Mewtwo?"

"Hmm." Lucy nodded lightly and continued to look at the bottomless moon pit, her legs shaking.

"In the end, dreams and reality are different after all, in the past, I was too beautified of the moon, and when it came to the moment when my wish came true, I couldn't be happy, maybe what I wanted was not to travel here... Just to escape from reality."

Sasha's little face fell, and he sighed:

"Well, I'm a little worried about my island tour, and I'm looking forward to it."

Lucy exhaled deeply, and instead of looking at the dark moon pit, she raised her head and looked directly at the sun.

The scorching sunlight was glaring, and even though her eyes had been replaced with hackers' scanning prosthetic eyes, Lucy still felt the urge to cry.

Seeing this, Sasha was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her eyes.

"Eh, don't you know that looking directly at the sun is bad for your eyes? We all have prosthetic eyes, but if we don't look at them, we should try not to look at them." Sasha worried.

Even though her vision was obscured, Lucy didn't move, and suddenly said for no reason:

"Actually, he knows everything."

Sasha was stunned, and quickly realized who Lucy was talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten? I invited him to my house, and I wanted him to watch Mewtwo with me, well, Mewtwo related to the moon." Lucy smiled playfully and glanced at Sasha.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Sasha's face suddenly changed.

She looked at Lucy nervously and asked, "What did you do in Mewtwo?"

"He didn't do anything, he turned down my invitation, and said with a serious face that I was running away, and at the time I thought he was very uninteresting, but now that I think about it, he was right." Lucy smiled slightly.

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lucy faintly, and said angrily, "You are trying to scare me."

The corners of Lucy's mouth rose slightly, and she pretended to be innocent, "Isn't this that you are scaring yourself?"

Sasha silently turned to the other side, not wanting to talk to Lucy.

"So he gave you the right to live in the space station because he saw that you were insecure, right?" Sasha asked without looking back.

"Well, I learned about the O'Neill space station before I came, and it's generally not bad, although it's an autonomous country, the level of security there is quite good, and there are not even vagabonds." Lucy said.

Sasha bowed his head and agreed, "Compared to those orbital space stations, the lunar colony is no different from the earth, there are still homeless people, and the level of security is average, I just returned

I heard some travelers discussing that after visiting the attractions, they would go to the moon base to find a sex couple..."

"Well, that's why I said, he knows everything." Lucy's tone was soft, as if she was emotional.

And that's what makes her feel incredible.

Before that, even she didn't know the essence of her dream, and actually wanted to escape.

But the boy miraculously saw through it.

So the gift he gave in return had almost nothing to do with the moon, but instead became the right to live on the space station that he bought a lot of money.

In the future, no matter where she is, whenever she feels scared and lost, she can go to that space station.

Because there, at all times, there is its own place of residence - the safest place in the world, and the best place to escape.

Perhaps, when they met for the first time, the moon travel ticket he gave him was not an accident, but a premeditated plan?

However, she didn't bother to think about it anymore.

Because even now that she has the right to live in the space station, she still feels lonely and hesitant, and her inner weakness has not been resolved.

Instead of living in the space station, it's better to be a little hacker by his side...

After all, that guy can always see what other people want and want in their hearts, and then smile and help make it happen without caring about it.

The night she infiltrated the Arasaka Seashore, she felt frightened, so the teenager handed her the explosives and told her to blow them up casually, and the so-called authority of the company seemed to be worth nothing in his eyes.

If he is still so "weak", then why should he leave him...

Let's go back...

Retracting her legs from the dangling place, Lucy stood up and faced the only sun in dark space, and she exhaled softly in the bright white light.

She turned and walked over to Sasha.

The lady who had just turned away from her looked up in confusion and looked at her inexplicably.

Lucy chuckled softly, "I'm not going to run away anymore."

Sasha blinked, looking a little confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked warily.

Won't run away?

What won't run away?

"I just wanted to say, when this trip is over, let's go back to Night City." Lucy smiled, put her hands behind her back, and rubbed her fingers a little restlessly like a lying little girl.

"There's nothing fun on the moon, and although Night City is a hell, I'm not used to life on the space station right now, so it's better to go back to a familiar city, there's no need to continue to escape, and next time we have the chance, let's travel to the island together?"

Sasha Fox stared at Lucy suspiciously.

Finally, she said helplessly, "Okay."

.......

......

It is also a desert full of sand and dust, and the brown sand soil has created a bad land with a harsh environment.

Three off-road vehicles were parked here, and five people gathered around the car to look at each other, and one of them was a teenager sitting on the roof cover, holding his cheek idly, and couldn't help but yawn.

"Ahh

As if inhaling some dust, this yawn instantly turned into a sneeze, and Lin Mo rubbed his nose in annoyance.

"Young, is our little guest cold? Why did you sneeze all of a sudden?" Seeing this, Mitch, who was standing next to an off-road vehicle, couldn't help but joke with a smile.

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Maybe someone misses me."

"You're a rich boy, isn't it normal for a few girls to think about you?" A woman sitting next to the SUV chuckled and teased.

She was wearing a red***-toned, similar to a racing suit, with long black hair coiled behind her head, and the whole person looked neat and sassy.

Lin Mo looked at this important NPC who had appeared a lot in the game, shook his head, and changed the subject:

"Sister Pannan

, don't tease me, let's talk about today's mission, the wanderer family that connects us today is the Bakr family in the south?"

"Yes, we need to get the contents of the car safely in their hands before this mission is officially completed."

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully and said no more.
