Not far away, several people were sitting on the hillside watching the scene.

The elk girl Ye Ningyun shook the horns on her head, put her hands around her knees, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm so envious." ”

Shi Qingyue glanced at her lightly and didn't speak.

Ye Ningyun flattened her mouth: "What kind of expression do you have." ”

Shi Qingyue said: "Hurry up and contact your parents." ”

Ye Ningyun was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the shadow that reflected the double-horned outline: "It's already very difficult for us people to survive...... However, if it is denied by the people I love the most, I don't know if I will have the courage to persevere......"

The pictographic boy Zheng Ming's parents died at the beginning of the last days, and he could understand Ye Ningyun's hesitation, but he was much more optimistic than Ye Ningyun: "You are scaring yourself now." ”

"Who told me to look scary?" Ye Ningyun sighed.

Hearing this, Shi Qingyue turned his head and looked Ye Ningyun up and down.

Ye Ningyun was annoyed by his scrutiny: "What are you looking at!" ”

"You're cute." Shi Qingyue said.

Zheng Ming was even more bold, stretched out his hand, and touched the pair of smooth horns virtually: "When I used to visit the night market, I often saw many girls wearing various ornaments on their heads. Think about it from another angle, you didn't become a monster, but you have an extra permanently equipped jewelry, and I don't know how many people envy you. ”

Hearing the compliments of the two, Ye Ningyun covered her mouth and snickered.

I don't know what kind of laughter I was touched, Zheng Ming also scratched his head and laughed.

When Lu Fei came to look for them, several of them laughed and staggered on the hillside.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Fei broke a dog's tail grass out of nowhere, holding it in his hand and shaking it gently.

"Captain, Captain." Ye Ningyun waved at him sweetly, "You say, am I the cutest girl in the world?" ”

Lu Fei: "......"

What's going on?

"Although you are the cutest girl in the world, you are not allowed to flirt with the captain. This is a matter of principle. Lu Fei solemnly emphasized.

"Captain, you're too discerning." Zheng Ming gave a thumbs up.

Ye Ningyun held her face with both hands, looking satisfied.

Lu Fei didn't know the antecedents at all, but seeing Ye Ningyun so happy, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Let's go down the mountain, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Dr. Yao and they came over today to make zongzi with us. ”

As he spoke, Lu Fei stretched out his hand towards Shi Qingyue, who was closest to him.

Shi Qingyue was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, and got up from the ground with Lu Fei's strength.

Zheng Ming, Ye Ningyun and others also stood up obediently and followed Lu Fei down the hill.

Lu Fei looked back at them, and when he saw that they were all following, he nodded with satisfaction.

In front of Yao Rong, Song Xiuping and others, there was always some noisy and babbling Lu Fei, but when he got along with Ye Ningyun and them, he seemed very calm.

He has unconsciously developed the ability to take charge of himself, and has become a captain who can be trusted and relied on by the team.

When I returned to the camp, the camp was already lively.

The people from the Central Research Institute sent a bunch of supplies, enough for everyone to have a hearty festival.

Ye Ningyun watched from the side for a while, and joined the queue to help. Even Shi Qingyue, who always had a cold face, as if everyone owed him 10 million, was squatting and carefully cleaning the dumpling leaves.

Lu Fei couldn't intervene for a while, so he simply went to Song Xiuping and asked where the parents who came over were now.

Song Xiuping pointed to a few tents on the very edge: "I was worried that they would be frightened when they rashly saw our team members, so I arranged them over there." ”

Lu Fei followed Song Xiuping's finger and looked over, and saw that one of the tents happened to be lifted from the inside.

Two pairs of parents and their children walked out.

"Finished talking so soon?" Song Xiuping wondered.

"I'll go check it out." Lu Fei was a little relieved, so he simply walked up quickly.

When several people saw Lu Fei, they all stopped to greet him.

Lu Fei asked, "Are you ready to leave?" If you want to leave, I'll send you a car back to base. ”

"It's not." A boy with leopard prints crawling on the left side of his face and neck shook his head and said, "Captain, we heard in the tent that we wanted to make zongzi, and my parents said that they couldn't sit still, and they had to come out to help with the handle." ”

Lu Fei looked at the boy's parents.

The boy's mother obviously guessed what Lu Fei was worried about, and took the lead in reassuring: "Captain Deer, don't worry, they are all good children." We may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but we will get used to it. ”

"That's right, that's right, when we listened to the lecture, we had already heard the teacher of the lecture state the stakes." Another parent is echoing.

"We also want to tell these children that we are not discriminating against them."

"We just discussed, if we don't violate the discipline of the team, we want to stay here for one night and spend the Dragon Boat Festival with the children."

Lu Fei was overjoyed: "Of course it's no problem." They are in a special situation, which can certainly be accommodated. ”

He personally sent a few people to Yao Rong.

As several parents said, at the beginning of being in the middle of so many experimental subjects, they all couldn't let go, but under the influence of Yao Rong and the researchers, several parents who had been mentally prepared for a long time slowly relaxed.

Later, seven more parents joined in.

Xu was sure that these test subjects would not harm them, and some parents couldn't help but interrupt her loudly after seeing Ye Ningyun's terrible method of tying zongzi, and taught her a little patience how to tie strong and good-looking zongzi.

Ye Ningyun learned very slowly, but she was very serious, and when she finally succeeded in wrapping a perfectly shaped zongzi, she held the zongzi and shook it in front of everyone's eyes, which was called a proud and happy.

"There are still a lot of zongzi to wrap, don't be stupid, come back to work." Shi Qingyue couldn't see her sassy appearance, and said helplessly.

Yao Rong smiled and proposed: "You make a mark on the rope, so as not to mix it with other zongzi when you get it, and you won't find it after steaming." ”

Ye Ningyun ignored Shi Qingyue's disappointment, smiled at Yao Rong, and rushed back to continue working.

After wrapping the zongzi, it also needs to be slowly steamed over a simmer.

When the zongzi are finally freshly baked, many people can't wait to sit around and taste the taste.

Lu Fei also got a zongzi.

He divided the zongzi into two, kept half of it for himself, put the other half in the empty bowl, and went to find Yao Rong with the bowl and chopsticks.

"Come on, come on, this is what I did myself."

This is the first time he cooks and the first rice dumpling he makes.

Yao Rong tried to take a bite: "It tastes good." ”

Lu Fei waved his hand, pretending to be modest: "Average, it can be better." ”

"When you say that...... Yao Rong lowered his eyes and savored it, "it seems to be a little general." ”

Lu Fei was instantly immodest: "There may be something wrong with your sense of taste." ”

Yao Rong laughed out loud and continued to bury his head in eating zongzi.

Lu Fei also took a big bite.

The dumpling filling is uniformly adjusted, and the taste is really not bad.

He disposed of the zongzi in the bowl in three or two times, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, stretched out his hand and hooked, and easily sat on the parallel bars, looking ahead at the sunset.

The fragrance of zongye wafted in the air, and the sound of whispering and chuckling came and went.

The army has been stationed here for so long, and today is the most lively and fireworks day in the world.

"Captain, Aunt Yao!" Ye Ningyun didn't know where she came out, she put her hands behind her back, tangled for a while, but still mustered up her courage, rubbed her hands and said, "I...... I want to ask the base gang to contact my family, I want to meet them...... Is it too late to say this request now? ”

Yao Rong's eyes were slightly bent: "Who can refuse a cute girl's request?" ”

Ye Ningyun held her face, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there was still a bit of childishness in her eyebrows: "Why have you even heard of Aunt Yao...... I'm just kidding. ”

Lu Fei said: "The base will help you get in touch." Do you think this is okay, I'll leave this matter to you to be responsible, you go and count it, see how many people want to contact their families now, and you can directly hand over the list to me tomorrow. ”

With the relatives of the twelve subjects setting an example, more and more subjects are encouraged to try to reach out to their loved ones.

Ye Ningyun actively promoted this matter, and soon registered a large number of names on the form.

Before handing in the form, she deliberately went to find Shi Qingyue: "Don't you really want to look for your mother?" ”

Shi Qingyue stiffened his face: "Leave me alone." ”

"Zheng Ming heard you talking in your sleep in the middle of the night. You said you miss your mom a lot. ”

Shi Qingyue was annoyed: "He's talking nonsense." ”

"Think about it again." Ye Ningyun did not persuade again.

When there was no one around, Shi Qingyue lowered his head in a dejected manner, revealing a somewhat injured expression.

On the day of the summer solstice, a meeting was held at the central base.

With his outstanding performance during this period, Deputy Director Duanmu beat several other candidates and was successfully elected to the post of Director of the Central Base.

Duanmusi's status in the army has also been further improved, and the position of family heir is no longer her.

After the summer solstice, the bases leave the central base one after another.

The southwest base was the last to go.

There were only more than 200 people when they came, and when they returned, the team more than doubled.

On the day I arrived at the southwest base, it happened to be the sunflower blooming season.

The sunflowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields, bowing slightly in the direction they came back, as if they were all saying: Welcome home.

Ye Ningyun and Zheng Ming were all lying on the side of the car window, staring at this scene with wide eyes.

"Even before the end of the world, I had never seen such a large sea of sunflowers." Zheng Ming affirmed.

Lu Fei introduced them: "Sunflowers have become a symbol of the southwest base. ”

"Is this where we will live in the future?" Ye Ningyun sighed.

Yes.

The research institute where they live is built in the deepest part of the Sunflower Sea.

In their free time, they can swim in the sea of flowers and run under the blue sky and water.

And what awaits them in the deepest part of the Sunflower Sea, in addition to a new residence, there are-

their loved ones.

Lu Fei directly sent someone to take their relatives to the research institute and gave them a big surprise.

Looking at Ye Ningyun's back rushing towards his parents, Zheng Ming showed envy, while Shi Qingyue put his hands around his arms, his face was full of indifference.

"Shi Qingyue." Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder, and Lu Fei said to him, "Come with me." ”

After this period of training, obeying orders has become Shi Qingyue's subconscious behavior.

He didn't even ask, and followed Lu Fei directly into the preliminarily built research institute, and finally stopped in front of the door of a lounge.

"Would you like to open the door and see?" Lu Fei asked.

Shi Qingyue looked at Lu Fei blankly.

Lu Fei raised his hand, followed Yao Rong's action of touching his head, and rubbed Shi Qingyue's hair, like a reliable brother comforting his awkward brother: "Someone has been looking for you since you disappeared. You didn't take the initiative to look for her, but she contacted the Central Research Institute herself and asked if you were on the list of victims. ”

That night, when Ye Ningyun handed him the form, he also told him what Shi Qingyue said in his dream.

Shi Qingyue's psychological state is the most worrying of all the test subjects.

The other test subjects were more or less opened their hearts under the explanation of the military psychiatrist, but Shi Qingyue was the only one who was stuck in a dead loop and couldn't get out.

So after learning that Shi Qingyue's mother had actually contacted the Central Research Institute, Lu Fei contacted Shi Qingyue's mother in a hurry.

Shi Qingyue's eyes were sour, and he subconsciously took half a step back, muttering to himself: "Impossible...... Impossible......"

Shortly after he was born, his parents divorced.

Not long after, his father remarried and had a new child.

may be unconvinced, may be in a daze, his mother did not remarry, but raised him alone, gave him the best education, and let him attend various talent classes.

As soon as he behaved badly, his mother would be hysterical and start counting how much she had given up for him.

It's as if her life is so bad, it's all because of his existence.

So much so that many times, Shi Qingyue wondered if her life would change for the better when he was gone......

And now, she's standing behind this door.

Shi Qingyue heard a low sobbing sound from a woman.

Lu Fei said: "I don't know what happened between you, and I don't ask you to settle with her, but I still took her over and asked her to tell you in person-"

"She didn't deny you the meaning of your existence just because you were a test subject. The worst-case scenario you had envisioned didn't happen. ”

After saying this, Lu Fei patted Shi Qingyue's head again, turned around and left, leaving the venue completely to Shi Qingyue's mother and son.

Lu Fei didn't pay attention to the follow-up, so I don't know if the mother and son met in the end, and what they talked about when they met, but the next day, Shi Qingyue took the initiative to find Lu Fei and thanked Lu Fei.

He and his mother did not become intimate again because of this, but the constant depression between his eyebrows and eyes finally melted away. ：，，
