Chapter 38

What exactly happened?

With something on his mind, Jiang Xiangyang swallowed the last few pieces of meat. He didn't feel full nor hungry. After cleaning up the garbage grill, he returned to his room.

Shang Yi is not the kind of person who would give a death order without reason. This can be seen from the more casual working style of those people in the Mineral Mountain. So the other party said this, it must be that something really happened that even he was powerless to do anything about.

To be honest, Jiang Xiangyang couldn't imagine what Shang Yihui was powerless to do, but he really couldn't do anything, because the day after he rushed back to the spaceship, it suddenly rained heavily.

Jiang Xiangyang leaned against the window and looked out, his face full of regret: "I can't go out."

Little Ball: "Yangyang, there are surveillance devices in the spaceship. Is it really okay for you to plan to sneak out so blatantly like this..."

Jiang Xiangyang covered his mouth with one hand, extremely surprised: "There are surveillance cameras inside the aircraft carrier?"

The little ball was also stunned when he saw that Jiang Xiangyang was completely unaware of the situation.

Jiang Xiangyang also felt strange: "Yesterday I checked the facilities on the spaceship, but didn't see it." Otherwise, he wouldn't run around as he pleased.

Little Ball: "But Black Tentacle can always know Yangyang's movements at the first moment, well, its owner can too."

Jiang Xiangyang thought about it and it seemed to be true: "Maybe it's because of the pager?"

Little Ball: "Yangyang left the pager in the maintenance room last night."

Jiang Xiangyang: “…”

Suddenly feeling a chill, Jiang Xiangyang touched the back of his neck. Just as he was struggling, the communication device hanging on the wall suddenly rang. There was no one else around except him.

Jiang Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, pressed the button, and tentatively called out to the baby a few times.

Shang spoke succinctly from the communicator, projecting his unchanging grave face onto the small screen: "Aside from the language chip, nothing else has been implanted in you. You can verify this with your little robot."

Jiang Xiangyang's face immediately flushed, and he explained incoherently: "No, no, don't think too much, I don't doubt your character."

Shang Yi tilted his head slightly and said "oh". Jiang Xiangyang immediately fell silent, wanting to curl himself up into a ball: "Well, it is a little bit..."

Shang Yi pulled the corners of his mouth, a simple smile, and it was impossible to tell whether he was really smiling or not.

Jiang Xiangyang was inexplicably frightened and clasped his hands together: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted my partner. I beg for forgiveness on my knees."

Shang Yi: "One of you kneels down so I can see?"

Jiang Xiangyang: "..." He suddenly had an idea. "I still have a lot of ingredients in my micro-terminal. How about we continue grilling tonight? I'll be your chef and absolutely obey your orders!"

Looking at Jiang Xiangyang's eyes, which were a blend of water and starlight, Shang Yi chuckled softly, making a faint sound: "There are monitoring equipment in the spaceship."

Jiang Xiangyang: "Ah, really? How come I didn't notice it?"

Shang Yi: "If you can easily find it, what's the point of installing these surveillance devices?"

Jiang Xiangyang: “…”

Jiang Xiangyang: "That..."

Shang Yi: “Hmm?”

Jiang Xiangyang hesitated for a while, then asked, "There's no bathroom or anything like that, right?"

Shang Yi was very calm: "Yes."

Jiang Xiangyang: "Ah?"

Seeing Jiang Xiangyang's troubles written all over his face, Shang Yi smiled again: "But I took it off after you came. Don't worry, I don't have a hobby of peeping at others."

After hearing what Shang Yi said, Jiang Xiangyang felt that his thoughts were inexplicably pretentious, so he said generously: "Actually, they are all men, so it's okay to take a look."

Shang Yi asked: "Can I understand that you are inviting me?"

Jiang Xiangyang was embarrassed: "No, I..."

The smile faded naturally after a while, and Shang Yi said: "Stay in the airship obediently for the next few days, I will let you know if there is anything."

It had been a long time since someone said the word "good" to him. Jiang Xiangyang touched his nose, not feeling disgusted, and responded in a sullen manner.

Seeing that the rain outside the window would not stop for a while, Jiang Xiangyang glanced at the door and simply went to the maintenance room to continue the repair work.

There were not many repair materials left in the spaceship. Most of them seemed to have been used by Shang Yi to repair the spaceship. Therefore, Jiang Xiangyang was very tired in looking for replacement materials. The rain was still falling that night, so naturally they could not go out for a barbecue. Jiang Xiangyang used the small kitchen to make a simple meal for Shang Yi.

Shang Yi ate all of it. Jiang Xiangyang found his own portion inexplicably difficult to swallow, feeling ashamed of wasting another good ingredient. However, when Hei Chu cleared the plates, he brought Shang Yi a few words of comfort: "You can't achieve success overnight."

Jiang Xiangyang swallowed the last bite with a brilliant look on his face, comforting himself that it was at least much better than the nutrient solution. However, his emotions were still not good, and he suddenly asked, "Since Shang Yi's cooking is so delicious, why did he only eat the nutrient solution before?"

Black Touch: "Because I'm lazy."

Jiang Xiangyang: “…”

Jiang Xiangyang thought that Hei Chu was covering up the real reason, such as the high nutritional content of the nutrient solution, Shang Yi was forced to eat the nutrient solution due to physical reasons, and other similar reasons. It was not until much later that he realized that Hei Chu's words were not excuses, but statements of facts.

On the morning of the third day, the rain was still falling and the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, gloomy.

Jiang Xiangyang frowned as he looked at the rain outside the window that continued to fall without a drop of water. Just as he picked up the pen, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, followed by a barrage of countless messages.

#The show is on! The show is on!#

#It's been so long since the show started, I thought the show was already out of fashion#

#It's worth waiting a day! #

#Finally waited for you, luckily I didn’t give up#

#Oh my god, the show finally started#

#Hey, why are there no landscape pictures this time#

#Where is this? Mecha manufacturing room? #

#What happened? It was a jungle a few days ago#

#A lot of unfamiliar tools#

#What is that block with a ball connected to it used for#

#Grandma's Morning

#Today is not a carousel? #

#Shh, it’s not a carousel! ? #

#Look at the face of the grandmother#

#Auntie, what's wrong with you?

#What's wrong? Are you sick? #

#What's wrong? What's wrong?#

#What happened to Grandma#

The tool pen fell to the ground. Cold sweat streamed down Jiang Xiangyang's forehead, and his face turned pale to almost transparent in an instant. The little ball was startled and suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear: "Disconnect immediately."

The little ball suddenly came to its senses and quickly disconnected the live broadcast connection. Jiang Xiangyang was also caught in the arms of Shang Yi, who had arrived at some point in time. His whole body was trembling, and sweat almost soaked Shang Yi's lapel. After a long time, he let out a few hoarse breaths from his throat.

Shang Yi only let go of Jiang Xiangyang after he had calmed down. He opened his thin lips and said in a voice neither too high nor too low, "Very enthusiastic people."

Jiang Xiangyang leaned on the table, holding his head, which was swollen and aching to the point of numbness, with both hands, and forced an ugly smile: "Before, not many people watched it, so I asked Xiao G to connect directly to the brain. I didn't expect that suddenly, so many people would come."

Jiang Xiangyang's words were incoherent, but miraculously, Shang Yi understood. "It's not as much information as the language chip, but the transmission speed is almost the same. It's a miracle your brain isn't ruined."

After recovering, he began to feel dizzy. Jiang Xiangyang said, "Yes, a miracle..." and then fell down.

However, what caught Jiang Xiangyang was not the cold floor, but a strong chest. The rain was still falling outside the window, making people feel that the air was slightly cool, but Jiang Xiangyang leaned on the man and felt inexplicably warm from the bottom of his heart.

As expected, he woke up in the medical recovery cabin. Jiang Xiangyang looked up at the incandescent light, thinking that he would be in a daze for a long time, but the bright light burned his eyes. Tears flowed quickly and he lowered his head to wipe away his tears.

The little ball waiting nearby hurried over and asked helplessly, "Yangyang, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xiangyang shook his head and said it was okay: "Next time, the barrage content will be connected to the electronic light screen."

Little Ball: "Okay."

Jiang Xiangyang: "How long have I slept?"

Little Ball: "Yangyang has slept for a whole day. Today is the fifth day."

Jiang Xiangyang subconsciously counted on his fingers, and the first thing that came to his mind was that there were only two days left to stay.

It’s so short.

Little Ball was frightened by the previous scene and checked his body worriedly. Jiang Xiangyang let it mess around, but finally he couldn't stand it anymore and simply took the little guy into his arms.

The quarrel started again with one person and one ball.

The little ball suddenly said, "By the way, Yangyang, the rain is still falling."

Jiang Xiangyang paused: "Is it still raining?"

The little ball nodded: "Yes, the clay on the edge of the cliff has been washed away, and a lot of it has fallen down."

Jiang Xiangyang jumped out of the medical cabin, took nothing, and ran straight to the window.

From the first window to the last, from the bow to the stern of the ship, Jiang Xiangyang's originally warm heart sank into his bones bit by bit.

Little Ball was confused: "What's wrong, Yangyang?"

Jiang Xiangyang didn't explain too much: "I'll go out for a while."

Little Ball: "Outside the ship? Yangyang, wait for me——"

The scenes seen inside and outside the spaceship are completely different.

After breaking away from the protective shield, the howling wind blew Jiang Xiangyang's short hair into a mess, the rainstorm was falling madly, the bright lightning was like a silver snake piercing through the rolling dark clouds, the rumbling thunder was deafening, and the ground under Jiang Xiangyang's feet seemed to be about to shatter and collapse at any moment.

He reached the edge of the cliff in the face of the strong wind, his cheeks completely covered with rain. Looking down, he saw rolling mud mixed with water pouring down. He could only hear the rumbling sound but could not see clearly.

The pager clipped to his sleeve began to ring. Jiang Xiangyang had retrieved it that day and put it on. He seemed to already know who was on the other end of the line. Without waiting for the other person to speak, he asked, "The accident you're talking about is a flood?"

The voice was trembling and weak.
