Chapter 16: The World in 2028

What will the world look like in 2028?

Many things have been realized on human movies, such as fully intelligent robots, huge space carriers, hovering cars everywhere, holographic projections, single-person flying skateboards, virtual reality technology, etc., etc., so many that people are overwhelmed, and if you don't touch it for just a few months, you may be a lag behind an era.

This is a very sci-fi world, and the most incredible of them is the ultra-long-range teleportation portal.

When Yuan Ze walked out of the Fourth Military Region in the southwest in a military uniform, it was ten o'clock at noon, and looking at the simple duffel bag in his hand, Yuan Ze was a little confused.

It all came too quickly and too suddenly.

A day ago, he was a soldier in the Southwest Military Region, at the forefront of the blood beast world in the struggle, leading the class to prey blood beasts, bringing endless benefits to the human world.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to step into the train to the imperial capital and become a member of the advanced course of the National Defense Military University.

And......

"Hello, I'm Yuan Ze!"

"Hello, Yuan Ze, I am Zhong Hui, a student of Dr. Cheng Jinhui, currently working at the Institute of Mythology under the Central Academy of Sciences, your teacher has already told me, I hope you can come over after you reach the imperial capital!"

"Of course, if you are not familiar with the emperor, I can come to pick you up and take you to all the places of interest and historical sites to learn about the long history of our country!"

"Thank you for your kindness, when I arrive, I hope it won't cause you trouble in the future!"

After making an appointment with Zhong Hui, Yuan Ze looked back at the endless military region, and the scene of separation from his comrades-in-arms appeared in front of him again, and whispered to himself: "Brothers, I'm sorry!"

Unconsciously, Yuan Ze was full of tears, this is the place where he has lived for nearly ten years, and it is also the place where he has gone from immaturity to maturity, just like this, how many people can not be sad!

"Gone!"

Yuan Ze is not a person with outgoing emotions, when a car approached from a distance, Yuan Ze restrained his emotions and said silently to the military region in his heart.

got into the civilian hovering car, Yuan Ze said to the driver next to him: "Please send me to the military cemetery!"

"Brother, my surname is Liu, my name is Liu Haihan, are you retired?"

Yuan Ze calmly glanced at the driver Liu Haihan, and then took out the holographic tablet in his bag, he was really in no mood to talk to the other party about what he had or didn't.

"Tengfei Company's exclusive military holographic tablet, it seems that the buddy is not retired, but promoted, congratulations, congratulations!"

"You have such eyesight and a flexible brain, you can find so much from a tablet, it's a pity not to join the army!"

Yuan Ze didn't care too much, even if he didn't expect to take a car casually, he would meet such a person with eyes and brains.

But this kind of thing, as long as people who often walk this line have more contact with it and understand some things that are not clear to outsiders, it is not difficult to infer it.

"The benefits of joining the army are good, this era is the era of all-round soldiers, everyone is enthusiastic, and they can't wait to join the army to open up a different world!"

Yuan Ze knew that he couldn't say any more, and if he continued to talk about it, he would faint sooner or later.

In fact, Liu Haihan, who was driving, was definitely an old driver, even if Yuan Ze didn't talk to him, he talked all the way alone, all over the world, and sometimes what he said made Yuan Ze feel bright.

"Okay, the destination has arrived!"

The hovering car stopped on a platform, Yuan Ze pushed the door out, looking at the dense tombstones of the entire mountain, as well as the surrounding green mountains and green waters, his heart suddenly calmed down.

"Squad leader, I'm coming to see you!"

If you say that after so many years, there are only four people in Yuan Ze's heart who miss him the most, three of them have passed away, grandparents, and the old squad leader.

Yuan Ze stayed on the mountain for more than an hour before he slowly walked down with his luggage, the driver was still waiting before, and when he saw Yuan Ze come out, his head stuck out of the window, and said loudly:

"Dude, I forgot to remind you before, there's a flower shop down there, you can buy bouquets of flowers......!"

"No need, my squad leader doesn't like flowers!"

Yuan Ze sat in the passenger seat and said, "Don't talk nonsense, send me to the airport!"

"Okay, sit tight!"

Liu Haihan didn't care about Yuan Ze's attitude at all, the hovering car spun in the air, flew straight out, and headed for the airport.

"Brother, anyway, there is still some distance on the road, can you tell me what the other world is like?

There is a way to stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, Yuan Ze glanced at the other party a little speechlessly, and said: "Military secrets, there is no way to tell them." ”

“......”

Liu Haihan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, God let you talk to death!"

Having said that, the chattering Liu Haihan couldn't hold back for three minutes, and continued to talk to Yuan Ze about messy things.

Until he arrived at the airport, Yuan Ze said to Liu Haihan very seriously: "You are so talkative, have you been complained? Yes, that's good, you don't mind having another one, right?"

"I'll go, buddy, don't be so dark......!"

Before Liu Haihan's words were finished, Yuan Ze had already gotten out of the car with his luggage, Liu Haihan hurriedly got out of the car and shouted to Yuan Ze who was far away:

"Dude, give me a way to live!"

Yuan Ze waved his hand without looking back, he was afraid of this talk, compared to him, Xie Yuyang was much quieter.

When Yuan Ze walked away, Liu Haihan sat alone in the car, calmly picked up an inconspicuous fountain pen, pinned it to his chest, and said: "Qisan Baiyao calls the pharmacy, it's over!"

"Pharmacy received, please say!"

"The mission has arrived safely at the airport, done!"

"Received, please Qisan Baiyao go to another location and pick up the next person!"

"Understood, done!"

Liu Haihan hung up the phone, glanced at Yuan Ze through the glass, started the hovering car and disappeared into the sky.

Yuan Ze looked back thoughtfully, and then walked into the airport.

Yuan Ze's hometown is a small city called Shao Huai, and after so many years of development, the once small town has disappeared and has been replaced by a park-like town.

Lakes and tree-lined parks have replaced wide roads and dilapidated and crowded self-built buildings.

With a month's vacation, Yuan Ze has enough time to get to know the city that has been away for nearly ten years.

After giving incense to his grandparents, walking on the road, Yuan Ze couldn't find the slightest familiar feeling of being unfamiliar with the city, and in less than two days, the longing for his hometown accumulated over the years dissipated.

The former classmates no longer know where they disappeared, and they finally contacted the two, and found that they had lost the shadow in their memories.

It's just two strangers, talking about things that they are not interested in at all, but in order to take into account their feelings, they go along with one or two.

Since then, Yuan Ze only asked for a group number and ended the meeting.

After joining the group, Yuan Ze was disappointed again, maybe for nearly ten years, he was out of touch with this world, or maybe it was because of the simple and pure life of the army, which made him retain a bit of his original sincerity and innocence.

He couldn't adapt to the way his old classmates got along, and his extremely realistic personality.

After only a few days, Yuan Ze packed his luggage again and prepared to go to the imperial capital.

At this time, an unexpected news interrupted Yuan Ze's footsteps.

"Yuan Ze, are you there?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Yuan Ze looked at this somewhat unfamiliar but very familiar name, Jiang Xia!

"I'm Jiang Xia, remember me?"

"Of course, the former math class representative, my good friend!"

Yuan Ze sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, which seemed to evoke good memories of his youth!

"Thank God, after all these years, you haven't forgotten me! How are you doing now? Are you still a soldier?"

"Yes, what about you?"

"I was admitted to the civil service after graduation, and now I work in the Ministry of Finance of the county government, working from 9 to 5, which is not interesting at all!"

"Really, that's good!"

After chatting with each other for a few words, Yuan Ze had a new impression of this friend, sophisticated, mature, and his wrists were still a little immature, and the purpose in his words was too strong.

However, after all, he was his former friend, and Yuan Ze was not too vigilant, and in Jiang Xia's constant inquiries, he still revealed some irrelevant information to the other party.

"Yuan Ze, do you remember Li Ran?"

Jiang Xia's surprise almost flashed Yuan Ze's waist.

"Remember, goddess! But then I heard that she got married, and the object was her college classmate, so I didn't pay attention to it anymore!"

It's not that I don't pay attention, but I just got promoted to squad leader at that time, there are too many things, and in the barracks, there are too few opportunities to contact the outside world, so I slowly let go of contact.

"Li Ran is still quite pitiful now, our current session, maybe her luck is the worst!"

"Really?"

Yuan Ze didn't dwell on this matter with him much, even though many memories in his heart had rolled out, but his habits over the years made him choose to disguise.

Politely declining Jiang Xia's warm invitation, Yuan Ze picked up his luggage and rushed to the airport.

Along the way, Yuan Ze found that his heart was a little messy, and he didn't know if it was because of Jiang Xia's two sentences, or because he hadn't let go of it for so many years.

Just like in the movie, in Yuan Ze's class, there is a beautiful girl who is sought after, that is the school flower Li Ran.

Compared with many suitors, Yuan Ze was inconspicuous, cowardly, and a short little man, even if he was close to the water, he didn't dare to show it at that time.

Because of this, his relationship with Li Ran can be said to be the best one in the entire class.

The best friend ever!

Sitting on the hovering car, looking at the scenery outside, Yuan Ze thought faintly.

At that time, Li Ran may have just been sympathetic and simply cared about her classmates whose parents were divorced, but she didn't know that it was precisely because of her concern that she had a huge impact on the little Yuan Ze.

Even after so many years, she is still in the top four in Yuan Ze's heart.

Now hearing that Li Ran is not doing well, Yuan Ze is anxious, irritable in his heart, and the holographic tablet in his hand is clicked into Li Ran's Weibo space by him at some point.

The latest update was five years ago, it was a wedding photo, and Li Ran's young smiling face appeared in front of Yuan Ze again.

Yuan Ze accidentally discovered that her phone number seemed to be on the Weibo profile.

"Forget it, so many years have passed, and it's been five years whether it's good or bad!"

thought so, but when he saw the number on the caller ID, Yuan Ze still didn't hesitate to answer.

"Li Ran, I'm Yuan Ze!"

"Well, okay, I'll do it!"

On the phone, Li Ran looked very restrained, and his words were full of shame.

With Yuan Ze's impression of her, there seems to be no problem that she can't solve, so naturally there is no time to see her and ask others for help.
