Chapter 265 The Moon Says I Love You
Jian Yue invited Liu Yan'er to dinner at the base in City A.
The weather has changed again in the past two days, and it has become windy. There is sandstorm outside the entire base. Jiang Xianyu made a defensive ecological cover. This ecological cover relies on wind power generation. It just so happens that the recent sandstorm weather can generate electricity through wind power. Some zombies on the periphery are responsible for producing electricity to maintain the maintenance and repair of the city walls outside.
People throughout the city were busy rebuilding their houses, farming, and working.
Liu Yan'er said, "Do people here actually have autumn and winter clothes to wear?"
You have to know that the zombie apocalypse broke out in the summer, and most people didn't have winter clothes to wear.
Jian Yue said, "We robbed, no, we borrowed equipment from a cotton mill. There happened to be some people in the base who knew how to use the machines, and some ordinary people who wanted to make a living, so we built a clothing factory inside the base. People who go to work can get points, and the points can be exchanged for food, clothing, food, shelter and transportation in the base. In this way, even people without special abilities can survive here, and other people in the base will have clothes to wear."
Liu Yan'er said with emotion: "Is the base of City A an eco-city?"
Jian Yue said: "In fact, sometimes, most people just want to live."
Liu Yan'er nodded and looked outside. It was a sandy day and the whole sky was shrouded in the gloomy orange color, which gave people a feeling of depression. However, the people walking through it brought some vitality to the world. Human beings are always tenacious and full of vitality, and they will find hope of survival even in the withered desert.
Grains of sand can also condense into a tower.
Liu Yan'er said: "Actually, I also brought you a gift this time."
Jian Yue was drinking porridge. After being bitten by a zombie last time, his body began to like eating something warm. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "What?"
Liu Yan'er was biting into the scallion pancake made by Jian Yue. She put the pancake down, clapped her hands, then picked up a wooden cup on the table and put her hands together and said, "Transform a living person, transform, transform!"
Jian Yue:?
After Concubine Liu finished speaking, the cup on the table seemed to change, and then the cup slowly turned into a human figure. Jian Yue looked closely and found that it was the small figure of Huangfu Chengyu wearing a dragon robe.
Liu Yaner smiled and said, "How is it, does it look like it?"
Jian Yue said: "How did you do it?"
Liu Yan'er said with a little pride: "After the last dungeon ended, I unlocked the slot for my second card. This is a simulation card I bought in the market. It can simulate a living being into any person I have met."
Jian Yue waved his hand, and the wooden man ran towards him. When Huangfu Chengyu was poked in the face, he frowned slightly, just like when Liu Yan'er usually saw him.
"Is it fun?" Liu Yan'er said, "I often make figurines, and now I'm very good at it."
Jian Yue said, "Pinch the King of Chu?"
Liu Yan'er's smile froze, and then she pretended to be stubborn and said, "I won't pinch him! I can find any handsome guy I want, he is just a passer-by in my life!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "If fate allows, I believe you will meet again."
Liu Yan'er had just pretended not to care, but after hearing this, she looked at Jian Yue and said, "Really?"
Jian Yue said: "Really."
Liu Yan'er looked a little happier. She said to Jian Yue, "I'll give you this little wooden man, but my card can only last him for 12 hours."
Jian Yue took a look and shook his head and said, "No need. Fake is fake after all. Let the people and things of the past stay in the past. People should always look forward."
Liu Yan'er propped her chin up and sighed, "Are you in love with someone else? How many people in this world can really look forward?"
She had just finished speaking.
Someone came over not far away. It was Jiang Xianyu. He had just dealt with the sudden sandstorm at the front line. The man who had just come in from outside put his coat outside, revealing his tall and slender figure. The adjutant behind him said, "We have added 30 wind turbines within 1 kilometer of the surrounding area. There have been 12 more zombie injuries outside the city due to the sandstorm, but a small team has already gone to deal with it..."
Jiang Xianyu said: "We have arranged for people to take turns on duty, and the tower's weather forecast has been changed to a five-minute test report, which will be sent to other bases simultaneously."
The adjutant nodded quickly.
Jiang Xianyu walked to the table and handed Jian Yue a box of things.
Jian Yue took it and said, "Hey, where did you get the cake?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "The superpower team harvested it while doing a cleaning mission in the city. They handed it in to the main city area to exchange for points, and I brought it back."
Jian Yue was very happy: "There are several flavors. Do you want to eat it?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "I don't like sweet food, you can share it yourself."
Jian Yue handed it to Concubine Liu with a smile and said, "Try it and choose for yourself."
Lady Liu picked up a strawberry and said, "Wow, your food is really good."
Jian Yue said to Jiang Xianyu: "This is Xiao Liu. She came here from another base to help. I knew her before and we have a good relationship, so I invited her to my house for dinner."
He said he was a friend and someone he knew before.
Jiang Xianyu looked at Concubine Liu and nodded. He said, "Welcome."
Concubine Liu finally met this legendary man, who was said to be able to command all the zombies in this city and develop a new type of protective shield. Rumor has it that he was ruthless and could almost destroy the entire base in City A by himself.
"Hello, hello." Lady Liu said with a smile, "I am a friend of Butler Wang. Although I am here to help, I am mainly here to see him, right?"
As she spoke, she patted Jian Yue's hand naturally.
As a result, as soon as his hand touched the back of Jian Yue's hand, he was frozen by Jiang Xianyu's sharp gaze.
Lady Liu was stunned, a familiar feeling came over her. She was very familiar with this feeling of being stared at. She had been stared at many times before. She didn't see it just now because she was wearing a long shirt. But when she looked carefully, she saw the black curse pattern that she was also familiar with. Isn't this...
She looked at Jian Yue with a little shock.
Jian Yue knew she would have this expression, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, everyone here is a guest, come on, come on, eat, eat."
Jiang Xianyu ate very quietly. He was not picky about food and ate quickly. After he finished eating, the tower had some work for him and he had to go over to take a look. In fact, he didn't need to eat on normal days, but because Jian Yue was here, he rushed back to have dinner with him.
It seemed that he was about to leave.
Jian Yue quickly pulled the servant over and said, "I've eaten two pieces of this cake. You can take it over and share it with the adjutant and Xiaopang."
Jiang Xianyu said: "I will give it to them, and you can keep it for yourself."
Jian Yue said, "Okay, I'll clean up here and come find you guys."
"No hurry." Jiang Xianyu said, "It's windy and dusty outside. If you feel uncomfortable, take a rest."
Jian Yue quickly said, "I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore!"
Jiang Xianyu's eyes deepened. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Really?"
Jian Yue: “…”
Why do I have this ominous feeling?
After the two of them talked for a while, Jiang Xianyu turned around and left. When Jian Yue turned around, he met the burning gaze of Concubine Liu. He was stunned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lady Liu said, "No wonder you said you wanted to look forward. It turns out you were looking at this person."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Isn't it pretty?"
Lady Liu gave a thumbs up and said, "You are so lucky. I don't know what you got it for."
Jian Yue said: "Maybe it's a blessing from my previous life?"
Lady Liu was amused by him: "Then you must have liked him in your previous life."
Jian Yue said while biting the cake: "Who knows."
But now that he was talking about this, Jian Yue was actually more curious about one thing. Because he had been interrupted all the time, he had no time to ask, so he asked: "You just mentioned the newly opened card slot. Can a tasker have several cards at the same time?"
Concubine Liu didn't expect that he didn't know this, so she said, "Of course, generally, taskers with more points can upgrade the system to open card slots, and they can open two card slots when entering the dungeon."
Jian Yue said: "Can these two cards be used at the same time?"
Lady Liu shook her head and said, "You can only choose one to use. That is, if you equip it, one card will take effect and enter cooling, but the other card will always be sealed until you reopen the card slot and take effect in rotation. Don't you know this? The system will inform you when you are a novice tasker."
Jian Yue was a little surprised: "My system never told me about the other card slot."
Concubine Liu was shocked: "How is this possible?"
Jian Yue said: "Really, there is no need for me to lie to you."
Concubine Liu reminded him: "You can go to your mall and have a look. There is a prop to unlock the card slot, which is called Ruyi Lock. It costs one million points. What do you think?"
Jian Yue opened the system panel and searched the main mall for items worth a million points. He did not find the Ruyi Lock, so he shook his head and said, "No."
Lady Liu said, "Ask your system."
Jian Yue thought the same thing. He said directly, "System, I think I need an explanation as to why I don't have a Ruyi Lock or the item to unlock the card slot."
The system waited for a long time before saying, "Sorry, this system has no authority or obligation to answer your question. Please try again later."
Jian Yue: “…”
Do you think you are 10086!
Jian Yue held back and said, "Is there no place to complain about the system?"
Noble Lady Liu said, "I don't know much about the existence of the system. It is said that it is something that was derived from the Lord God's world to maintain order. It provides each tasker with the help they need, but where the system came from and who controls it is still unclear. But why don't you have a second card slot? That's so strange."
This really touched upon Jian Yue's blind spot in knowledge. Jian Yue said, "Everyone's physique is different?"
Lady Liu laughed: "How is that possible? Every tasker has a second card slot. It can't be that you already have a second card slot, but you just don't know it, right?"
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then said: "I only have one card, and only one card has ever taken effect. I have never seen the second card, and I have only played the pool once and drawn once."
Lady Liu couldn't think of any other possibilities. She said, "This is really strange, but there are actually a lot of strange things about cards. I think it might just be a bug. Maybe it will be fixed in the future."
Jian Yue: “…”
Isn't this a bit too casual?
If it is really a bug, it is impossible that it has not been fixed yet after so many copies.
Jian Yue always felt that there might be something wrong with this card slot, but now he didn't have enough evidence to prove it. Could it be that he really had a second card slot? This was a very ridiculous idea. He knew it was impossible, but his heart was beating so fast, as if that card slot was connected to his heart and his blood. Just thinking about it would stir up a thousand waves.
But they didn't have time to think about these things anymore.
Because a bigger global disaster is coming.
On the third day after Liu Guiren left, the tsunami arrived. The first person to notice it was Squidward. The tall Squidward had been having so much fun at the base that he curled up outside to sleep. Sometimes some tired seabird zombies would fall on him to sleep, so that night, the birds exploded and fled in all directions, and Squidward cried out.
The coastal cities will undoubtedly be the hardest hit.
When the accident happened, Squidward was not actually sleeping. He was eating seafood meatballs, which were made for him by residents near the base as a thank you for helping him move things.
When Squidward ate the seafood balls, he didn't expect that there would be such a delicious food in the world. He wanted to tell humans immediately, "What zombies are you going to kill? I know a small path, please go this way."
It's a pity that it can't speak.
When the tsunami was about to hit not far away, Squidward, the entire octopus, was stunned. He subconsciously used his limbs to block the house in front of him, mainly to block his octopus balls.
However, the houses in the weak area of the protective shield outside the base would have been washed away immediately, but they were protected. People climbed onto Squidward's tentacles screaming. For the future of Chibi Maruko-chan, Squidward raised his tentacles and lifted the people up.
The turtle sleeping not far away also woke up.
Many zombies crawled onto the turtle's body. The turtle thought about it and smiled.
The base's protective shield blocked the oncoming tsunami's waters. The entire sea surface was covered outside the shield. Looking from inside the shield, one could only see raging waves, which almost blocked half of the view outside the shield. It was all sea water, and in the sea water there were people, zombies, and Squidward and turtles swimming around.
Zombies are actually not afraid of water and cannot be drowned, but it is a bit annoying that their feet cannot touch the ground.
The base within the protective shield activated a level one alarm.
All the psychics woke up. The base's protective shield was squeezed by a large amount of sea water, so it naturally needed more energy. Apart from wind turbines, there was only backup energy, but such energy could only last for a few days at most. If the tsunami continued, it would not last long.
At this moment, no one differentiated between people with special powers and those without special powers.
Everyone was working hard to maintain the energy shield of the base. Jian Yue also came out. He walked to the edge of the energy shield and put his hand close to the shield, as if he could directly touch the water inside. From the temperature of the water, he could feel the boiling hotness.
"Volcano..." Jian Yue said softly, "A volcano is about to erupt."
On the eve of a magnetic storm, extreme weather and climate will occur in various places. The more frequent it is, the faster and more chaotic the magnetic storm will come.
The energy shield was able to hold on after all. Of course, the most important reason was that the tsunami only lasted for one night. The sea water calmed down and retreated back into the sea. The entire land was in a mess. The zombies swam back from the sea, and large and small fish appeared on the ground outside. Some of these fish were infected and had human teeth, and some had two tails.
They were all picked up and thrown in to make seafood meatballs.
Squidward cheered happily.
The day after the disaster, good news came, because the weather and climate returned to normal. The sky welcomed a rare sunny day, and even the temperature returned to the normal level of more than ten degrees. The climate was suitable and warm.
Everyone was very happy.
According to the calendar, in a few days it will be the Little New Year, a day for family happiness. On such a day, they finally welcomed the first normal climate and temperature since the disaster. If it were not for the mess and ruins on the ground, this would seem like just a simple afternoon, a simple festival.
The base did not suffer too much impact, while the outer city would have suffered heavy casualties, but with the help of Squidward and Sister Turtle, many people survived.
This is something worth celebrating.
Especially since the Chinese New Year is coming soon, when the adjutant asked, Jiang Xianyu said: "During this period, the supplies in the base can be reduced by half, so that everyone can have a good New Year."
The adjutant was also very happy: "Everyone must be very happy."
Only some happy events can dilute the fear of death. With the increase of extremely bad weather, everyone seems to know that there may be no tomorrow after today. But precisely because of this, some things that can numb ourselves are needed, and this year is particularly important.
When Jian Yue got up early in the morning, the outside was already decorated with lights and colors.
The base has seen many reds, most of which are the red of blood, but today, it is the red of decorations, window grilles, lanterns, and colorful flags.
He sat up and walked outside.
Tiantian called him and said, "Butler Wang, do you want to go shopping? The mall at the base is very busy today, and there are so many delicious foods!"
Jian Yue said: "Okay, okay, wait for me."
Jiang Xianyu was not at home. Jian Yue saw the card. Jiang Xianyu left him a note saying that he went to the climate observatory. Although it was the New Year, the changeable climate and disasters that might come at any time still needed more attention. Jian Yue finally understood why this man could build such a large zombie city in the later period, making humans afraid.
He is responsible and serious. He will consider all those who follow him and find a way out for everyone. He shoulders and carries too much, but he never speaks a word.
Jian Yue thought about it, put the card down, and walked out.
It's really lively outside today.
He came down from upstairs and soon reached the street. The base of City A had a very large commercial street. Some of the shop owners were psychics and some were ordinary people. They sold a wide variety of things. For example, there were plant-based psychics who sold fruits, earth-based psychics who sold clay figurines and clay furniture, lightning-based psychics who sold electronic products, there were shops selling clothes, and there were also shops selling flowers.
This surprised Jian Yue a little.
Through a protective shield, Squidward and others also wanted to buy things outside the city. He took a fancy to an electronic music instrument, so he pointed at the stall through the protective shield with his tentacles. The stall owner asked a friend to deliver it to him. Squidward gratefully caught a few mutated fish from the sea and gave them to the stall owner. The stall owner knew that the fish would not eat them, so he immediately knocked the fish unconscious and gave them to him. The stall owner dug out the crystal core from the fish, and luckily he almost fainted.
Although the fish thought this was rude, no one cared.
When Jian Yue was browsing the stalls, he met the adjutant, who said, "You came out to play too."
The adjutant said, "Yes, my best friend's birthday happened to be during the Chinese New Year, so you should hang out with your friends, ma'am."
Jian Yue didn't expect to be called this. He said, "I haven't married the young master yet."
The adjutant smiled and said, "It's bound to happen sooner or later. The young master suffered a lot since he was young. His mother passed away early. There are few precious things in this world for him. This child has a lot to bear. I have watched him grow up. Because of the experiments and the curse, he didn't want to stay in the crowd for a long time. When he left the base, I thought he would not come back. Maybe this was a relief for him, but he came back with you. I know why he came back, but maybe it's because he wants you to live a normal life."
Jian Yue was stunned. He thought that Jiang Xianyu stayed because the people around him changed their prejudice against him. But he never thought about it. Jiang Xianyu never cared about other people's thoughts. He wanted to stay because he had friends here. This was where he grew up and he wanted to live a human life.
This realization made Jian Yue freeze in place.
"I don't think he married you because he didn't like you." The adjutant said, "It's because he felt he was not worthy of you."
Because of the curse marks on his face since childhood and his non-human identity, Jiang Xianyu never believed that anyone would be willing to marry him.
Jian Yue thought about it and said, "I understand."
The surrounding streets are busy.
Everyone was shopping. Jian Yue walked around for a while and when he came to an electronics stall, he saw a small toy. He smiled and said, "I want to buy this."
Weather tower.
Jiang Xianyu was talking to the staff around him about the test data and arranging tasks.
Someone came over and said, "Sir, Master Wang sent someone to say that the family has prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and everyone is here. He asked when you will be back. Oh, and he also sent a box over, saying it's a New Year's gift."
Jiang Xianyu was stunned. He thought Jian Yue would want to play with his friends more. He took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a model of a small moon ball. It was a dark yellow moon. He subconsciously touched the moon, and it suddenly lit up. A voice came from inside: "I love you."
This is the sound recorded by Jian Yue.
Jiang Xianyu was stunned, and the people around him were also stunned.
“…”
There was silence for a moment.
Jiang Xianyu looked around at everyone, and everyone looked away tacitly. Jiang Xianyu said, "Let's stop here today and make predictions according to the route I told you."
Everyone: “Yes!”
Generous and powerful.
Jiang Xianyu was silent for a moment, and returned to his office to change clothes. The little moon ball was placed on the table. He was silent for a moment. Although he was a little calm outside just now, there was no one around now. He sat on the chair and touched the little moon again. The moon ball immediately lit up, and a voice came from it: "I love you."
Jian Yue's voice was clear and clean. It seemed that just by listening to the voice, one could imagine the smiling face of the person over there.
Jiang Xianyu stared at the moon ball in a daze, his dark eyes became softer and more tender.
When no one was around, he would press it from time to time. He never knew that he was such a greedy person. The words that he used to think were clichéd, now sounded like the most touching words in the world when spoken by the person he loved.
Is it true?
Or do you use it to appease yourself?
Just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Xianyu came back to his senses and whispered, "Come in."
There was no one in the corridor, most of the people had gone home to celebrate the New Year. Jian Yue was standing outside, the warm yellow light from the corridor fell on his shoulders, and he said, "I'm here to take you home."
The moment Jiang Xianyu saw the person, his blood seemed to heat up. There was a moon ball on his desk. He felt very happy, but he was not sure if this was just a sentence Jian Yue recorded to tease him. He asked, "Is this the recorder you bought?"
Jian Yue said: "No, it's not a tape recorder."
Now it was Jiang Xianyu's turn to be a little surprised.
Jian Yue said: "If you don't believe it, try touching it again."
Jiang Xianyu touched the moon ball with his hand, and the next second, a sensor on Jian Yue's wrist lit up. He smiled at Jiang Xianyu and whispered, "I love you."
The sound came from inside the moon ball through the sensor.
It's not something I recorded casually.
The falling and caressing hands that he missed were all responded to by his own mouth.
