MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 89 the beginning of the journey
Shi Yuan was crazy with joy.
A happy abyss can lose sleep.
——"Lu Tinghan's Abyss Observation Diary"
That night, after turning off the lights, Lu Tinghan closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
But he couldn't sleep.
Because there is a strong line of sight sticking to him. As soon as Lu Tinghan opened his eyes, he saw a pair of big eyes looking at him in the darkness.
Lu Tinghan asked: "...Shi Yuan, why are you staring at me?"
Shi Yuan said, "Because I'm very happy! I'm so happy that I can't sleep."
Lu Tinghan said: "I still have to rest early, I have to pack my luggage tomorrow. Close your eyes and take a deep breath."
"Okay." Shi Yuan agreed.
Lu Tinghan closed his eyes.
But that intense gaze couldn't go away, and the essence usually fell on him.
Lu Tinghan opened his eyes again, sure enough, Shi Yuan was still looking at him.
Lu Tinghan: "Didn't you close your eyes?"
"Opened it again." Shi Yuan explained, "I can't sleep at all."
Lu Tinghan got up, took a pair of blindfolds from the bedside table, and put them on for Shi Yuan: "Try this."
Putting on the blindfold, the substantial vision finally disappeared.
Lu Tinghan closed his eyes to sleep, and heard a slight "bang bang" sound after two minutes. His intuition was wrong, and he looked towards Shi Yuan—
Shi Yuan was indeed wearing a black eyepatch, and looked very quiet, having fallen into a deep sleep.
…if it wasn't for the constant wagging of his tail, tapping on the bed.
Lu Tinghan stretched out his hand and lifted the blindfold off.
A pair of eyes are still looking at him.
Even the blindfold couldn't stop Shi Yuan from opening his eyes, Shi Yuan saw Lu Tinghan: "Wow!" His tail swung even faster.
Shi Yuan will definitely not be able to fall asleep this time.
Lu Tinghan really couldn't calm down an excited abyss, just like no one could calm down a cat running late at night or a dog howling up to the sky.
He could only use physical means to force Shi Yuan into his arms, listening to the "bang bang" sound of his tail hitting the wall...
Shi Yuan didn't know if he slept or not.
He fell asleep anyway.
On the second day, Shi Yuan rarely got up earlier than Lu Tinghan.
He hadn't slept long and was full of energy.
Lu Tinghan told him that the army still had some matters to hand over, and they would leave the day after tomorrow. Others will be responsible for the professional items needed, and Shi Yuan just needs to bring what he likes.
Shi Yuan casually ate some bread and began to pack his luggage.
He put Cheng Youwen's script and "Waiting for Godot" first, then a change of clothes, a few leaf bookmarks, but unfortunately the stargazing telescope is too big to take away, he can only bring a small telescope.
While he was tidying up, Lu Tinghan sat by and watched.
Shi Yuan took it away and asked, "How did you tell them that you want to go with me?"
Lu Tinghan took a piece of bread and took a bite: "I said that I know monsters best, so I can guarantee the safety of the journey; I can also negotiate with the empire, understand their culture, and judge whether their underground cities are suitable for 'deep diving' Plan. Another point is very important, your identity is sensitive, and others are not familiar with you."
—Who is most familiar with Abyss 0?
Of course it was Lu Tinghan who met Shi Yuan when he was 8 years old and could find him every time.
"That's right!" Shi Yuan thought of something, "Didn't Professor Guan say that I hope you can take a frigate to the abyss?"
"Well, after I come back." Lu Tinghan leaned on the sofa, "This time the wave of monsters has destroyed the research center, even if we go to the bottom of the abyss and send back the data, we can still analyze and simulate. Let's find During the empire, they will rebuild the research center, which will take more than half a year."
He paused: "One more important thing is that they have to decide within half a year which abyss we want to simulate."
"Okay." Shi Yuan held several large books, hesitated for a while, and put "Alliance Military Theory" into the box.
Lu Tinghan raised his eyebrows: "You want to bring it?"
"Um."
Lu Tinghan's expression moved slightly, as if his eyes were a little...excited. His tone remained unchanged: "Do you want to learn? Are you interested in military affairs?"
"No." Shi Yuan answered him, "I'm afraid of insomnia." He patted the "Alliance Military Theory" that the general loves most, "I fell asleep every time I read it for three minutes, I should have known last night Just look at it."
Lu Tinghan: "..."
At this moment, he couldn't hide his disappointment.
Shi Yuan put some clothes in, including the cypress sweater Qin Luoluo gave him.
He asked Lu Tinghan again: "If you leave like this, the city will be fine, right?"
"I discussed this topic with them yesterday. Fu Xiuzhong will act on my behalf, and Admiral Su will also assist him." Lu Tinghan said, "No monsters dare to approach the main city. They are safe and can rebuild with all their strength. Get ready for the 'deep dive'."
"Oh, that's good." Shi Yuan was relieved.
Lu Tinghan ate the last piece of bread, wiped his hands, and helped Shi Yuan pack the suitcase.
He said: "Shi Yuan, I will go with you, besides the reason just mentioned, there is another reason."
He folded Shi Yuan's jumper, put it neatly in the box, next to the pajamas, and said: "I said that there are many beautiful scenery, we will go to see together one day."
—Lu Tinghan told Shi Yuan that there are deserts, jungles, mountains and polar regions in the world...
There used to be birds, animals, flowers, plants, insects and fish, and all things competed for freedom in the frosty sky.
Lu Tinghan: "We can't see those species, and we may not see all the natural landforms, but we can always see something along the way."
Shi Yuan: "Really!"
"Well." Lu Tinghan continued to explain, "We won't go directly to the coordinates, we will leave temporary signal transmitters along the way."
"Signal transmitter?" Shi Yuan's tail bent into a question mark.
Lu Tinghan said: "That's right. We need to use the 'echo' channel to keep in touch with the city. The channel is unstable, and we need to install transmitters along the way to ensure its smooth flow and allow the city to better communicate with the empire. So , we will stop halfway. The stop time is not long, but maybe we can see some scenery."
He straightened Shi Yuan's tail, and said with a smile, "I spend too little time with you, and I always think about one day I can make it up, but I never had a chance... We have a mission for this journey, and the time is tight, but, I hope it's a little bit different."
"At least this time, I can temporarily put aside the identity of 'admiral' and stay by your side. This is the second reason. For me, the two reasons are equally important."
Shi Yuan's tail almost went up to the sky.
Before he entered the city, he had wandered for a long time, but never went very far, and saw nothing but wasteland and high forest.
Now he finally had a chance to take a look at this world—even though it was broken, even though it had fallen long ago, perhaps there was still some old charm in the ruins.
The clock pointed to 7:30, Lu Tinghan was about to go out.
He touched Shi Yuan's head: "Slowly collect the luggage. We may be away for a long time, you can say goodbye to your friends."
Shi Yuan collected the luggage all morning, and met with Lu Bafang and Wang Yu in the afternoon.
Both of them were helping in the hospital, Shi Yuan went to the hospital to find them, and had dinner at the food distribution place.
"I'm going to be out of the city for a while," he said.
The two were visibly stunned.
Wang Yu asked: "Where are you going? Although the city is safe, you can't go too far, right?" She hesitated, and whispered, "Is it because of what happened last time..."
— Last time, Shi Yuan was wanted because of Yin Zhou, and the search team said he was suspected of murder.
Later, Lu Tinghan suppressed the arrest, and the matter was clarified. Wang Yu was still worried, and asked Shi Yuan several times to make sure he was fine.
Lu Bafang looked confused: "What are you talking about? Why didn't I know what happened last time?"
Wang Yu took a sip of water: "You really missed a lot."
Shi Yuan replied to Wang Yu: "No. I want to go out of the city with the land general to find the empire."
Lu Bafang was even more confused: "What? Why do you want to go with me? What did I miss!"
Shi Yuan thought for a while.
He doesn't want to lie anymore, but he understands that the timing is sensitive now, and he must be cautious about his identity.
He selectively told the truth: "I am an accompanying family member."
The two were dumbfounded.
Wang Yu murmured: "Unexpectedly, General Lu and you seem to be stuck together!"
"Look at what you said, the couple are so affectionate, how can they bear to be separated." Lu Bafang recalled that day when Lu Tinghan looked at him with interest, he still had lingering fears, "It will take several months for you to go away. Bar?"
Shi Yuan: "Yes."
He took a sip of corn soup. The soup was made from powder when he drank it, and it didn't taste very good, but he didn't dislike it.
Wang Yu said: "There will be many monsters on the road, it's very dangerous... However, since General Lu has decided to go, he must be sure, so I won't talk too much."
"That's right." Lu Bafang took a mouthful of rice, "In short, I wish you a smooth journey! Hurry up to find the empire, hurry up and go home, hehe, it's said that gold and silver nests are not as good as your own doghouse!" He held up the glass Cup, "There is no wine, only water, and this is the only way I can practice it for you!"
The three people's glasses collided together, and the sound was crisp.
"Bon voyage!" they said.
The next day, Shi Yuan went to meet with the troupe.
Qin Luoluo and Cheng Youwen were rescued by Shi Yuan, and they both knew that there was something hidden in him, most likely it was not human.
Taking advantage of Wolfgang's absence, Qin Luoluo secretly asked Shi Yuan: "Can you scare away the monsters along the way? Just like when you saved us."
Cheng Youwen added: "Use your magical tail."
"It should be possible." Shi Yuan said, "As long as there are not many people, I can scare away monsters."
"Then I can rest assured." Qin Luoluo said, "At least you and Lu Shang will not be in danger."
"You still have to be careful." Cheng Youwen emphasized, "Who knows what we will encounter? It's been a long time since we have been to such a far place. If we really find the empire, we must be careful. It has been so many years, who knows what they will become What's up?"
Shi Yuan agreed.
Two minutes later, Wolfgang arrived.
After he joined the army, he became dark and thin, with several scars on his hands, which looked as hideous as a centipede.
He was still taciturn as always, just sitting in the corner and listening to the conversation of the three of them silently, showing a friendly smile from time to time and nodding in agreement.
In the end, Qin Luoluo let out a long breath, and leaned against the back of the chair: "The last time we ate together like this, it feels like a lifetime ago."
"It's been a few years, hasn't it?" Cheng Youwen said, "I don't know what happened to the theater, it must have been taken over by those infected flowers." He hummed, "My lovely office, just give it up like this !"
"Cute? Your mess is like a kennel!" Qin Luoluo scolded with a smile.
Cheng Youwen stared angrily, and just about to refute, he heard Wolfgang say: "...of."
"What?" Shi Yuan asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, one day we'll be able to act," Wolfgang said.
Everyone was waiting for his next inspiring words, no matter how bad they were, they would be provocative, but Wolfgang buried himself in his meal, without beginning or end, without any further words.
—He really wanted to say such a sentence.
This is very Wolfgang.
When parting, the troupe members and Shi Yuan said: "We are all waiting for you, come back early!"
Shi Yuan contacted Lin Yeran again, but unfortunately Lin Yeran was too busy processing the data, so he couldn't get away, so he just sent a text message to him and said: [Come on]
After thinking about it, Lin Yelian added: [There is a chance to give you a replacement bonus]
— This is unprecedented for him.
Shi Yuan also went to see Alice.
Alice still hasn't found Leonard Philippa, sitting on a bench, holding a unicorn in her arms, dangling her bare/naked feet.
She blinked and said, "Shiyuan, I wish you a pleasant journey—"
"Thank you." Shi Yuan
Tell her, "When I come back, I will continue to look for your brother."
Alice curled her green eyes.
In this way, the time came to the third day, and they were ready to go.
The aircraft is a state-of-the-art d3-201 model, medium in size and excellent in speed.
It is equipped with heavy firepower weapons, and it is also loaded with food, fuel, a large amount of inhibitors, various firearms and ammunition, pollution detectors, signal transmitters and a combat off-road vehicle for ground use.
There are 5 people in total, Lu Tinghan, Shi Yuan, Adjutant Ning, an engineer and a medical staff. Except for Shi Yuan, they all know how to fly aircraft and can guarantee shifts.
They set off in the early hours of the morning.
It was still too early, the sky hadn't dawned, the city hadn't woken up, and naturally there was no crowd to see them off.
The aircraft took off and flew straight to the west, which was the coordinates of the empire.
Shi Yuan saw that the city outside the window was getting smaller and smaller, and on the streets, there were only soldiers who got up early to patrol. Black crystals are everywhere, like continuous and sharp mountains, covering most of the city and freezing countless monsters.
He looked down, and suddenly his eyes froze—
At the end of the street, on top of a watchtower, someone was waving, waving to them.
The distance was too far, Shi Yuan couldn't see who it was, he couldn't even distinguish between men and women, he could only see the man waving continuously, jumping and waving, to see them off.
Knowing that the man couldn't see, Shi Yuan also waved by the window.
"We'll be back soon—" he said.
He has been lying on the window.
Until the city can no longer be seen.
There are three rooms on the aircraft, one for Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan, one for Adjutant Ning, and one for the engineer and doctor. There is not much space in the room, a bed and a small table are enough.
Shi Yuan stayed by the window for a while, ready to go back to the room to pack his luggage.
It's the first day of the journey, so get off to a great start.
He just pushed open the door: "Lu Tinghan, I-hm??"
"Tap!" Something hit him lightly on the head, just right, unbiased, right in the middle of his head.
Before Shi Yuan could react, he saw Lu Tinghan sitting on the edge of the bed, with his right hand in a motion of throwing something—Lu Tinghan froze, it was hard to describe his expression, unexpected, awkward, restless, even a little bit panicked At a loss.
Lu Tinghan said slowly: "...Shi Yuan, things are not like this."
Shi Yuan:?
He shook his head, and the things on his head rolled into his palm.
It was a bunch of crumpled waste paper.
It was a mess.
Shi Yuan's pupils trembled.
