Chapter 61: Warmth

Lu Zhiqiu didn't come back all night, and he couldn't be reached by phone.

Zhou Xu was not at ease, so he came to the Department of Foreign Affairs early the next morning and found Xu Lao.

Xu Lao hesitated and closed the door of the office, for fear that someone outside would hear what he was going to say next.

"Originally, you didn't have the authority to know about this matter, but Lu Mingshi has made a great contribution to the defense of my coastal city, and I won't hide it from you. After telling you, you must not pass it on. Xu Lao reminded.

Zhou Xu nodded, and Xu Lao sighed. "Although the Martial Saint killed the king of the sea, the others were also missing. Lu Mingshi knew about this and went to the open sea to help search and rescue. There is no signal there, so naturally I can't call you back, and she will be back in a few days. ”

Master is missing?

Zhou Xu was very worried when he heard this, "How could it be missing?" The golden light before was so dazzling, people should be nearby? ”

"I don't know the specific situation, you wait for your aunt to come back, and then ask her yourself."

Xu Lao sighed again and again, in order to protect Binhai City, the whereabouts of the martial saint are unknown, if this news spreads, it will definitely cause strong uneasiness among the people.

After all, for so many years, the Martial Saint has long been the patron saint in the hearts of the people of Great Xia, and the pillar of the country, if he has an accident, the blow to the people is unimaginable!

Not only in China, but if the news of the disappearance of the Martial Saint spreads abroad, it will also make some hostile forces ready to move, and then create incidents!

Therefore, this news has been blocked for the time being, and the country is mobilizing forces to search for the whereabouts of the Martial Saint with all its might!

"You are also very hard and tired these days, go back and rest, all we can do is wait quietly for the good news."

Elder Xu comforted Zhou Xu, after this freshman of the Destiny Master Academy joined the Department of Strange Affairs, his performance was very good.

Even without Lu Zhiqiu's factor, he recognized this young man quite a lot, and his future was very bright.

"I know Elder Xu, by the way, there is one more thing."

Zhou Xu remembered Fang Xiujie's matter and talked to Xu Lao.

"Even if it's cancer and disability, all I know is that there are some life masters who can bring the dead back to life. But if you overdraft your vitality, I'm afraid it's really hard to save. That's good, first arrange for this hero to be transferred to the hospital affiliated to the life division and see the situation. ”

Xu Lao was enthusiastic to help, Zhou Xu looked happy, before he was injured in the trial town, he was sent to the Affiliated Hospital of the Life Division, where the means are more complete than ordinary hospitals, maybe there will be a way to save Fang Xiujie!

"It's really troublesome, old Xu."

Zhou Xu said gratefully, and Xu Lao waved his hand. "For the shedding of blood and sacrifice for this city, we should have done our best to save it."

"Okay, I'll go find Fang Xiujie."

Zhou Xu couldn't wait to leave the Department of Foreign Affairs, came to the hospital to look for Fang Xiujie, and entered the ward, only to find that his bed was empty.

Zhou Xu's face changed, and he asked the nurse on duty, and the nurse said that Fang Xiujie had unfortunately passed away in the middle of the night last night!

Zhou Xu, who had been hopeful, suddenly darkened his expression, and left the hospital with a heavy heart.

Master's whereabouts are unknown, Fang Xiujie is also dead, this S-level ecological disaster in Binhai City, he knows and doesn't know, too many people have died.

Open social media, or walk on the road, you can see human tragedy everywhere.

This is the norm in this era, and many times, it is too late to say goodbye......

Zhou Xu was sullen and walked on the road for a long, long time until he received a message from Xiao Tao.

She wanted to invite him to dinner in the evening and thank him for saving his life the day before yesterday.

If it was in the past, Zhou Xu would refrain from it for some reasons, because he knew that the path he was going to take was destined to be different from Xiao Tao's life.

But today's mood is really bad, thinking of Xiao Tao's smiling face, in this cruel world, he wants to find a trace of comfort, a place to rest temporarily, he agreed.

When they met at night, Xiao Tao was obviously dressed up carefully.

With her face covered in collagen, she was already beautiful without makeup, and tonight, she applied a little makeup.

It can be seen that her makeup skills are not good, she should have just started learning, and today she wore a pair of high heels, and she didn't seem to be very comfortable wearing them.

She didn't tie a ponytail today, and chose to wear her long hair loose over her shoulders.

She tried her best to make herself look more mature, but this effect was not achieved, but in Zhou Xu's eyes, the whole person was more cute.

"What's wrong with my face?"

Xiao Tao saw that Zhou Xu had been looking at herself, and she was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xu came back to his senses and smiled. "What do you want to eat?"

The two walked side by side, looking for a place to eat.

They soon realized that the day before yesterday there had been a catastrophe in the city of Binhai, and now there were very few restaurants to eat.

After walking around and not finding a suitable place to eat, Xiao Tao suggested that she simply go to the supermarket to buy some food and drink, and then find a place with a good view to watch the starry sky.

Zhou Xu agreed, and the two came to the supermarket, Zhou Xu picked some that could fill his stomach, and Xiao Tao chose some snacks.

Before leaving, Xiao Tao brought two dozen more beers.

"Can you have a drink?" She stuck out her tongue at Zhou Xu.

"It should be a little better than you." Zhou Xu said with a smile.

The two of them carried a large bag of things, and finally chose a lawn on the bank of the river to sit down.

Looking up at the starry sky, chatting and drinking, talking to each other, the atmosphere between each other gradually warmed up.

"I thought I was dead before you showed up the day before yesterday, guess what, what was I thinking?"

Xiao Tao's cheeks were slightly red from drinking, and she moved her body as she spoke, getting closer to Zhou Xu.

"Don't think about anything, do you?"

Zhou Xu thought seriously: "When most people face death, their minds are blank. ”

Xiao Tao looked at his appearance and burst out laughing. "Do you look so serious no matter what you do? Actually, what I was thinking at the time was that I hadn't been in a relationship yet, and if I just died, thanks to that. ”

The atmosphere quickly became charming, and Xiao Tao was not shy when she said this. "Many of my classmates passed away in this incident, and they were all so young, just freed from their busy high school schedules, and they didn't have time to enjoy their lives, so they died weakly."

Zhou Xu listened and poured himself a big sip of wine, he could understand Xiao Tao's mood.

They are all young and full of expectations for the world, but in this era, whether you are rich or poor, you can face death at any time.

It's so cruel, what a luxury peace and stability are, everyone is like a fluttering in the wind and duckweed in the water!

The two chatted, and the more they drank, the closer they became.

Zhou Xu looked at Xiao Tao's big eyes, straight nose, long eyelashes, and pink lipstick lips up close, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"It's late, it's time to go back."

Zhou Xu stood up suddenly, and before he knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Tao hummed softly, and Zhou Xu sent her home.

Obviously the weather was fine an hour ago, but when I was walking on the road, it suddenly rained.

The two hurriedly sheltered from the rain and happened to come to the door of a hotel.

There are young couples snuggling up to each other and walking into the hotel, behaving intimately, and the two of them are a little embarrassed.

Xiao Tao's clothes were wet, and her hair was also wet, and Zhou Xu was embarrassed to look at her.

"I don't want to go home tonight."

Xiao Tao suddenly said softly: "In the past two nights, I have always had nightmares, dreaming of those bad people and things. I wondered, if life is so short, why do we suppress our emotions? ”

Zhou Xu's eyes fluctuated, and unconsciously he took Xiao Tao's hand, and the two walked into the hotel.

On this night, two hearts that were hesitant and confused about the future, lonely and wounded, snuggled together and warmed each other......

On the seventh day after the outbreak of the S-class ecological disaster, a public memorial was held in the city of Binhai.

Mourn the civilians, soldiers, and teachers who died in the disaster, and mourn the fathers, mothers, and children.

The city gathered its grief and set sail again in the ruins, and things gradually got back on track.

During this period, Lu Zhiqiu still did not go home, but she called back once and told Zhou Xu two things.

The first thing is that although the government sent a large number of rescue forces and she also participated in the search and rescue, she still did not find Wusheng Zhong Taiyan;

The second thing is that near the battlefield where the Martial Saint killed the King of the Sea, a tree hole was found!

Tree holes, a mysterious space that accompanies the World Tree, sometimes arise due to special surface activities and ecological disasters.

Officials speculate that it was the battle between the Martial Saint and the King of the Sea that led to the appearance of the tree hole, and the missing Martial Saint may have entered the tree hole!

The news that Lu Zhiqiu sent back was shocking, according to her, now that the official forces were trying to find a way to enter the tree hole, she also decided to stay there.

Since the tree hole has just been formed, the space is not stable, so it is estimated that it will take some time, and she will tell him more about it when there is further news.

After the matter was finished, Lu Zhiqiu hung up the phone, basically she was talking, Zhou Xu was listening, so he couldn't get more valuable news.

After the end of the public memorial day, the social practice of the Destiny Master Academy also ended, and Zhou Xu, Gao Hongzhen, Hu Xinxin, Liu Heng and others all returned to the academy.

Every day, in addition to schoolwork and practice, Zhou Xu also pays attention to the news on the Internet.

This S-class ecological disaster in Binhai City has attracted great attention in all parts of Great Xia, and the news of the Martial Saint's elimination of the Sea King has made hundreds of people rejoice.

But because he hasn't shown his face in front of people for many days, it has also led to some bad speculation.

Fortunately, some unfounded speculation posts were deleted as soon as they came out, and they didn't cause much discussion.

In addition, many heroic deeds and touching deeds that emerged in Binhai City's fight against S-class ecological disasters are also spread everywhere on the Internet.

Zhou Xu and Gao Hongzhen became popular inexplicably.

One blogger filmed him and Gao Hongzhen fighting against dangerous species, which quickly attracted attention.

Later, the students of Binhai University found out that the two were the heroes who saved the whole school, and they left messages for a while, and the popularity of the two immediately increased.

Because of this, Zhou Xu and Gao Hongzhen were praised by many departments such as the college, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Department of Disasters.

Gao Hong Zhenle blossomed, because of his heroic performance, even the fish stall with his father was doing well, and the market administrator arranged his father to the best stall.
