MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 87 break out

As soon as Lu Tinghan opened the door, he smelled millet porridge and pork rib soup.

"Lu Tinghan!" Shi Yuan rushed out of the kitchen and threw himself into his arms.

Shi Yuan turned his head, although Lu Tinghan was prepared, he still felt that he was hit by a small missile. For a moment, all he could see was a cheerful tail and a spatula with a few chopped green onions.

Lu Tinghan's expression softened, and he asked, "What are you cooking today?"

"There are millet porridge, stir-fried kale, twice-cooked pork, peanut pork knuckle and pork rib soup." Shi Yuan counted the same, "I just made two, and I haven't finished the others."

"Why is it so rich?"

"Colonel Lu came back today when he was free, and he said he wanted to have a 'warm family dinner full of love and ribs', so we prepared a lot." Shi Yuan said, "Touch my head!"

"My hands are dirty, wait until I take off my gloves to wash my hands."

Shi Yuan hugged him all the way and did not let go, Lu Tinghan took Shi Yuan with difficulty, took off his white gloves, washed his hands clean, and then rubbed his soft black hair.

Shi Yuan: "Hurr, snort, snort, snort."

He stayed with Lu Tinghan for a while satisfied, until Yu Qingmei poked her head out from the kitchen: "Shi Yuan, the meat hasn't been cut yet."

Shi Yuan: "Here we come!" He abandoned Lu Tinghan, and happily ran back to the kitchen.

Yu Qingmei looked at Lu Tinghan, her tone changed: "What are you doing so early when you come back? As soon as you come back, Shi Yuan must be pestering you to play, and the pork knuckles are not finished yet."

—A son is not as important as a pork knuckle.

Professor Yu thinks so.

Lu Tinghan said, "Then I'm not welcome?"

"It's good that you are half capable sometimes." Yu Qingmei mercilessly closed the kitchen door behind her.

Lu Tinghan smiled, sitting on the sofa reading a book, listening to the sound of ping-pong-pong coming from the kitchen.

A voice came from the broadcast: [In December 244 of the Alliance, the 'Deep Dive' project was declared a success. The team led by Professor Guan Xun of the research center simulated the infection wavelength of the No. 0 abyss. At the same time, the empire provided a safe and complete underground Architecture... Please allow me to remind the audience that the day after tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of the alliance's relocation to the capital of the empire, Dunton. 】

[Here, we have to mention two characters: Admiral Lu Tinghan and Shi Yuan. Their reputations are overwhelming, and their stories are known to everyone, but we still have to start from the very beginning. At the beginning of the story, a military student who just graduated, despite the opposition of his elders and superiors, insisted on being the monitor of Abyss No. 0...]

The kitchen was in full swing.

Shi Yuan learned to cook from Yu Qingmei, and he has been learning for a long time.

After the success of the "Deep Dive" project, Yu Qingmei finally relaxed and no longer needed to live in the research center. She is getting old, and occasionally goes to the project team to guide for two or three days, and stays at home the rest of the time, quarreling with Lu Zhun, or running to Lu Tinghan's house to help Shi Yuan cook.

No one would have imagined that Professor Yu, Academician Yu, who has studied for a lifetime, is so talented in cooking.

Although she used a kitchen knife as if dissecting a white mouse, and put soy sauce as if she was dripping a proper amount of solvent, it didn't affect the color, flavor and taste of the dishes.

Shi Yuan studied hard and improved his cooking skills.

At least he is better than Lu Tinghan who has been chopping green onion noodles all year round.

The millet porridge is bubbling and bubbling, and the chilled kale with ice cubes is more crispy and tender. People salivate.

The rice cooker beeped, and the white rice was done.

The doorbell rang, and Lu Tinghan got up to open the door. As soon as Lu Zhun entered, he drank a whole glass of water and said, "It's too hot here, won't it be hot to death!"

"The mind is calm and cool." Yu Qingmei said lightly, "Who told you to go fishing in this weather? You are so bored, serve me food."

She slapped the knife, flattening the garlic.

"Wait, wait!" Lu Zhun shouted, "Doesn't any of you want to ask me what fish I caught?"

Three people, three pairs of eyes looking

Looking at him, there is no disturbance and no expectation.

Yu Qingmei said: "Who has been in the air force for half a month and doesn't know what to do? Go, you don't want to eat tonight when the food is cold."

Lu Zhun muttered, saying something like "the one who is close to the ink is black", something like "now Shiyuan is ruined by you", and something like "the fisherman will never be in the air force".

The dishes are ready. The four gathered around the table and finished the meal in a lively manner. The peanut pork knuckle and millet porridge received unanimous praise. Yu Qingmei picked up vegetables for Shi Yuan, and Lu Tinghan also picked up vegetables for Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan's bowl was piled up as high as a hill, and his tail was tangled in worry. Lu Zhun waited for a long time, but his wife and son ignored him. I was so angry that I ate five pieces of ribs.

After dinner, Lu Tinghan and Lu Zhun were in charge of washing the dishes.

The housekeeping robot at home broke down and was scrapped.

However, Dunton's military factories and high-tech development zones have returned to normal.

After simulating the No. 0 abyss, no monsters will approach this underground city, and human beings get enough time to develop. Soon, there will be new robot chips, and after the big robots return to operation, housekeeping robots will surely return to the home.

Lu Zhun brushed the cauldron and said, "Why don't you have any cooking talent at all? You're reduced to cleaning the pot with me."

Lu Tinghan took a sponge cloth and wiped it across the sink, as if he was wiping his love gun.

He said, "Who do you think I inherited?"

Lu Zhun laughed.

In the evening, there is a live broadcast of a football game.

After half a month of playing this small ball game, it finally reached the final. This is the first ball game after the end of the world. There is no green grass, only a piece of dirty turf. There are no professional athletes, but all veterans and amateurs, and they played well.

Yu Qingmei left a sentence: "I don't do such time-wasting things." She went to the balcony.

Lu Tinghan, Shi Yuan, and Lu Zhun were left behind. The three of them sat on the sofa, arranged juice and snacks, and watched the TV station.

Turn off the lights, turn up the volume, and the atmosphere is just right.

It was Shi Yuan's first time watching a football game, nestled in Lu Tinghan's arms, watching carefully while eating mung bean cakes.

The players ran hard and the commentators were impassioned. Lu Tinghan explained every rule to him, but Shi Yuan was still dazed and asked blankly, "Why did the referee blow the whistle?"

Or "Who broke the rules and why? What's a sliding shovel?"

Or "Why do humans run after a small ball? Ah! The ball went in!"

Shi Yuan dragged his head to watch the human beings chasing the small ball. Although it was very interesting, his tail bent back and forth in confusion, and was straightened by Lu Tinghan. After two minutes, it bent again.

And Lu Zhun was lying on the sofa, hugging melon seeds, watching and eating with relish. It is said that a small gamble is fun. He suppressed all his private money in the Gleaners, a total of 20 yuan and 50 cents. He hoped to make a comeback and earn two packs of cigarettes.

Lu Tinghan watched the football game with an expressionless face, but Lu Zhun's emotions were all displayed on his face. The Gleaners scored the first goal, and he was so excited that he almost spilled melon seeds.

—Everyone thought that this goal was the beginning.

Didn't expect it to be over.

In the next 60 minutes, the Gleaners did not score any goals, and finally lost 1:3.

Lu Zhun was heartbroken and sighed.

Shi Yuan comforted him: "It's okay, there will be another game next year, right?" He looked at Lu Tinghan for proof.

Lu Tinghan affirmed: "Yes, they plan to hold another one next year, and there will be Fengyang team at that time."

Only then did Lu Zhun calm down a bit: "Yes, yes, I'm going to start saving money for my own house again."

Lu Tinghan asked: "Didn't you save a few hundred last time?"

"Stop talking!" Lu Zhun dumped the leftover melon seed shells into the trash can, "Your mother found them all! Confiscate them!"

After watching the game, it was already too late, Lu Zhun and Yu Qingmei slept in the guest room on the first floor overnight.

Lu Tinghan cleaned up the table and went to the bedroom on the second floor, where Shi Yuan was waiting for him on the bed. As soon as he got into bed, Shi Yuan arched into his arms.

Lu Tinghan asked, "How was your day?"

Shi Yuan told him what happened at the food distribution place,

Then said: "I feel that there are fewer and fewer customers recently."

"Maybe they all went to the restaurant to eat."

"That's right, the distribution place is always made of canned food, which is not delicious."

Shi Yuan continued to chatter about what he had seen and heard, and Lu Tinghan listened attentively.

Shi Yuan said again: "Wolfgang and Mr. Cheng are preparing for the theater company. Soon, I will be able to go back to acting."

"What do you play?"

"Continue to play "Martyr", and there is a new script "Untouchable"." Shi Yuan raised his head and asked him, "They are all very good scripts, will you watch them?"

Lu Tinghan didn't answer.

Under the light, his expression was still gentle.

He said, "No, Shi Yuan, I won't."

Shi Yuan's tail bent into a question mark.

Lu Tinghan looked at him and said, "Because I came to say goodbye to you, now is the time."

"What farewell?" Shi Yuan asked.

"I gotta go."

"Ah, now? Is there something wrong with the army?" Shi Yuan opened his eyes wide, "When are you coming back?"

Lu Tinghan: "I won't be coming back."

He got up, put on the windbreaker he had prepared, and walked downstairs.

Shi Yuan was stunned, and chased him downstairs: "Lu Tinghan!"

A dark light was turned on in the living room on the first floor. Yu Qingmei and Lu Zhun were sitting at the dining table, studying a cake. When the two of them saw Lu Tinghan, they froze their movements, a little embarrassed, but they didn't expect Lu Tinghan to shoot back suddenly.

The cake is for Lu Tinghan, whose birthday is coming soon.

That's how the secret gift was revealed.

Lu Tinghan looked at the cake for a few seconds, opened the door, and a gust of cold wind hit.

"Where are you going?" Lu Zhun called him, "It's so late!"

Yu Qingmei also said: "Is there anything that cannot be resolved tomorrow?"

Shi Yuan rushed down from the second floor and hugged Lu Tinghan: "Don't leave! Why didn't you come back again?!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhun and Yu Qingmei were taken aback and looked at each other.

Yu Qingmei said: "Lu Tinghan, did you quarrel with Shi Yuan?"

Lu Zhun added: "Are you so angry that you run away from home by yourself? There are quarrels at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. How many times have your mother and I quarreled, are you still okay?"

Yu Qingmei: "Speak well, and talk about the problem. This birthday cake was chosen by Shi Yuan for you."

Lu Tinghan didn't speak.

Little by little, he pushed Shi Yuan's hand away firmly, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said, "I'm leaving." He nodded to the three of them, "Today is a very pleasant day, thank you."

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

When Lu Tinghan walked out of the house, it was completely different from the warmth and warmth inside the house. The corridor was dark and so cold that it almost forced people to flinch.

Lu Tinghan didn't hesitate, and stepped forward until he heard a crying voice: "Lu Tinghan! You don't want me anymore!"

Lu Tinghan paused.

He looked back, under the warm yellow light, Yu Qingmei and Lu Zhun were standing side by side, with gentle and worried expressions.

And Shi Yuan stared at him blankly, wanting to cry, and said, "Lu Tinghan, can you not leave me?"

"..." Lu Tinghan said softly, "No."

The wind was blowing, and the singing came from the nine heavens. He said: "I didn't leave you behind, I had to... find you, the same as every time in the past."

He turned around, no matter how the people behind him shouted, he never looked back.

The further you go, the deeper the piercing darkness, and the louder the singing.

Lu Tinghan walked faster and faster, finally started to run, ran to the place where the singing was loudest, and stretched out his hand suddenly—

"Boom!"

The sound of bones shattering under his hands.

The dark tide disappeared, and the man-faced bird screamed in his iron-clamp hands!

It is golden all over, every feather is shining, and it has a beautiful face of a woman. But its skull was half broken when Lu Tinghan threw it against the wall.

Behind Lu Tinghan, with a confused look

Lieutenant Ning smiled happily, he trembled when he heard the scream, suddenly woke up from the dream, and looked around blankly.

The leader of the monster had been singing since they stepped into the terminus, but no one realized it at the time.

Both Lu Tinghan and Adjutant Ning fell into the illusion.

Hours or even days passed in the illusion, but in reality it was only two or three seconds. Lu Tinghan broke free in time, but the singing made the leader expose himself—

The human-faced bird's face was ever-changing, and it actually became a bit like Yu Qingmei in front of him, trying to confuse people's hearts, but it was of no avail. It thrashed and struggled under Lu Tinghan's hands. A pretty face twisted into a hideous hideousness.

Without hesitation for half a second, Lu Tinghan drew out his gun, and fired five times at the monster's head! "Bang bang bang bang!" The blood flew, and the monster fell limply to the ground.

it died.

Can't die anymore.

Lu Tinghan took half a step back, the bandage on his abdomen was stained red with blood, it was hideous and dazzling. Shi Yuan rushed over and supported him: "Let's go quickly! Find a doctor!"

Lu Tinghan looked at him steadily, then suddenly smiled, and pinched his face: "It's still really cuter, cuter than I imagined."

Shi Yuan:?

He was confused for half a second, but he didn't dare to struggle anymore. And Adjutant Ning gave himself two big mouths, finally regained consciousness, and shouted: "Let's go to the ground!"

The exit is not far away, obscured by collapsed walls and rocks.

Lu Tinghan rested beside him, Shi Yuan and Ning Lieutenant worked together to clear a small path.

They tried their best, but it still took nearly half an hour—during which, the second round of offensive really started, the singing could be heard underground, there were explosions everywhere, and every time there was a tremor, dust fell on the top of the head. Shi Yuan always checks on Lu Tinghan's condition. The stimulant effect is over, his movements become slow, and the blood loss also leads to a constant drop in body temperature.

The medicine was deceiving itself, the injury was too serious, and there was no way to undo it.

Finally, Adjutant Ning picked up Lu Tinghan on his back, gritted his teeth and rushed to the ground.

The terminal was very deep, and the stairs had no end in sight. Adjutant Ning exhausted too much energy, and after climbing for a while, he was out of breath, and his movements were obviously slow.

So Shi Yuan carried Lu Tinghan on his back, and then climbed up. He didn't have enough strength, so he relied on his tail wrapped around Lu Tinghan's waist for support—it even played a role in pressing the wound to stop the bleeding. Normally, it would be impossible for him to climb so many layers with a tall man on his back, but this time it was different, strength was gushing out from his whole body, and he was going forward without hesitation.

Lao Song said that it was a gleam of light that led Lu Tinghan back to the convoy.

Shi Yuan doesn't remember this incident very much, he only knows that he must go to the ground...

Let Lu Tinghan see the sky.

Stairs one after another, Shi Yuan carried Lu Tinghan on his back all the way, panting heavily, and stepped up to the final steps——

Dazzling lights, clear skies, and a half-destroyed city.

The streets were destroyed, the buildings were destroyed, and black smoke billowed everywhere. The white birds sang poetically and hovered over the city. Not only them, countless other monsters came from the ground and the sky, and invaded the city. There were huge bone wolves, and a leaf-cutter queen more than 30 meters away. There is also a large sea of ​​flowers that suddenly blooms... The monster followed the fragrance of flesh and blood, crossed the wasteland, and brought a massacre.

"..." Adjutant Ning stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

He never expected that within a few hours, so many areas fell one after another.

Obviously, obviously the leader of the monster is dead, so is the situation irreversible?

Will today be the day of the fall of mankind?

Adjutant Ning's eyes drifted far away, until the end of the city. He has been calling for support troops, but the underground signal is too poor, coupled with the infection of biological organisms, he failed, and the support troops have been delayed.

Now that he knew why, the reinforcements were probably blocked...or killed.

Adjutant Ning also planned to send the aircraft over to take Lu Tinghan to the hospital—as long as it is fast enough, the injury can still be recovered. But now? There are monsters everywhere, and no convoy, no aircraft can pass through this wave of distortion.

Exploding flames lit up in the distance

, he slowly sat on the ground, looking at the fallen city.

Shi Yuan still hasn't given up.

He landed on Lu Tinghan's back with difficulty, and walked eastward, stepping on the ruins step by step until Lu Tinghan whispered in his ear: "... Shiyuan, that's enough, let me down."

Shi Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.

"Enough." Lu Tinghan whispered, "The wound won't hurt so much if you lie down."

Shi Yuan knew that it was impossible for Lu Tinghan to be afraid of pain, but when he heard this sentence, a place in his heart was poked.

At this moment, exhaustion, nervousness, sadness and fatigue surged up, he lost his strength and couldn't take another step, so he could only gently put Lu Tinghan down.

Surrounded by ruins, Shi Yuan was covered in Lu Tinghan's blood, held his increasingly cold hand, and said softly, "How could you save me... You shouldn't have saved me, I'm a monster, maybe I won't die at all what."

After five or six seconds, Lu Tinghan answered him: "...I don't gamble."

Shi Yuan smiled silently and asked, "Lu Tinghan, can I infect you?"

Just like that restless night, he bit Lu Tinghan's neck, thinking, this person will be his forever. It’s like rehearsing lines at that time—he said, the world is cruel, human life is too short, it would be great if I could become a monster, I like you, let us live forever in the mud and bones.

The blood kept flowing, and Lu Tinghan's breath gradually weakened.

Shi Yuan could barely hear his voice, leaned forward and heard him say: "Shi Yuan, I was born as a warrior, let me die like this too."

Shi Yuan: "..."

He clenched Lu Tinghan's hand tightly, his knuckles turning blue.

"Dididi—"

"Dididi—"

Lu Tinghan's breath was very weak, Shi Yuan turned his head stiffly, and after more than ten seconds, he realized that it was his communicator ringing.

There was no signal on the underground communicator just now, but now someone is calling.

The screen displays: "Professor Guan".

"Dididi—"

"Dididi—"

"Dididi—"

The communicator rang persistently. Shi Yuan slowly stretched out his left hand and pressed the connect button, but he couldn't say a word.

"Shi Yuan! Are you listening?!" Professor Guan's voice was eager, "Is General Lu by your side!"

Shi Yuan: "...um."

"We received a distress signal but the aircraft couldn't get through. Now—there is only one way now, listen to me, Shi Yuan, can you infect all the monsters around you?!"

"…why?"

"Make them incapacitated!"

—Creatures infected by Time Abyss will be sealed in black crystals for a period of time, as if their time has been paused.

Professor Guan continued, his tone becoming more urgent: "Infect the monster, so that the aircraft can come over. Listen to me, Lu Tinghan must not die, only him, only he can complete the 'deep dive'!"

Shi Yuan said, "But..."

"It's too late! The battle situation is so far, and the main city can't survive today!" The professor shouted, "Don't **** think about the empire, you don't know if it exists or not. Shiyuan, you believe me! You believe me—"

Shi Yuan looked at Lu Tinghan blankly.

If he did that, Lu Tinghan would hate him, right?

Professor Guan's shout became blurred, as if separated by a layer of mist. The man's face was pale, his breathing was weak, and a large swath of bright red spread under his body.

The memory returns to the day in the wheat field.

The golden waves of wheat are golden blood, flocks of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, those huge machines are running endlessly.

Shi Yuan thought, Lu Tinghan must be right, some things will not fade even if they perish, "being here" is the most important thing, one second is eternity.

However, that day he got a small flower on the path.

It was his flower, it was his flower in the whole world, and he couldn't let it wither.

Shi Yuan looked up.

Countless monsters are dancing wildly, all kinds of strange things, bizarre, he is in it

It is too small in front of them, as if they will be submerged in the next second.

Shi Yuan held Lu Tinghan's hands like this, looked at them and said, "I'm sorry, but please go to hell."

The wind stops for a second—

The black crystals exploded like a stormy wave!
