Chapter 7676
Wen Jiuze doesn't like being "special", because special means danger.
It was because of their peculiarities that Wen Yi was at a loss as to what to do about their situation at first. She kept postponing the thawing time, and finally had no choice but to seal it up.
It was also because of their specialness that after Wen Yi's death, they were coveted by various people and, after several twists and turns, were separated and fell to different places.
Even if these people from Beifeng District First Research Institute have not really harmed him now, as long as they show their desire to conduct research, Wen Jiuze will show his aggressiveness as a warning.
During the ten years he searched for Xue Ling, he saw too many ruins of laboratories left over from the past.
In the past two hundred years, all kinds of illegal private research were prevalent, and the frozen people in the cryostat were their best experimental subjects.
It was not until the turmoil ended several decades ago that legislation was enacted to prohibit it, and even now there is still some darkness that cannot be seen in the light.
Therefore, Wen Jiuze must eliminate all bad possibilities; they cannot even have the thought of conducting research.
Under the pressure of Wen Jiuze, all the researchers were unable to sleep and worked all night, giving Xue Ling medication and preparing for the resuscitation treatment the next day.
While waiting for treatment, Xue Ling sat on the bed and flipped through the book.
Apart from Wen Jiuze, the only old friend she heard news about was Wen Yi.
"They said this photo is of Sister Yi." She turned to a certain page and showed Wen Jiuze the photo on it.
The photo shows an old man with silver hair, looking peacefully at the camera, looking into the eyes of an old friend who is beyond time.
Xue Ling said in a low voice: "I felt like I just slept for a while. Sister Yi was still very young before going to bed, but when I opened my eyes, I found that she had grown old."
Wen Jiuze sat in front of her, hugging her, and said in a normal tone: "It's not that she got old, it's that she died."
Xue Ling: “…”
Wen Jiuze had seen this photo a long time ago, and he had also seen many more photo records about Wen Yi.
"She used to speak harshly and had a cold expression, but I didn't expect that she would become a kind old lady when she got older. She smiles so sweetly, it must be fake."
Xue Ling: “…”
Xue Ling raised his hand and hit his shoulder.
She said: "If I had known that would be the last time I saw her, I would have said goodbye properly."
"Saying goodbye is not easy," Wen Jiuze said, "When you get better, I'll take you to see her tomb. There's an electronic code on it, and you can interact with it in VR."
Xue Ling: “…”
Wen Jiuze took the book from Xue Ling and motioned her to look at the words below the photo: "Did you see her date of birth and death? She died in 3089, at the age of eighty, and died of natural causes."
"I read what she wrote in her diary in her later years. She was surrounded by students, and everything was taken care of by others. She spent her whole life doing what she loved to do, and was respected by others... There is no need to feel sorry for her. The two of us are worse off than she is."
Xue Ling: "...And the diary? I want to read it too."
Wen Jiuze: "I'll take you to see it after we leave here."
Before being pushed into the treatment equipment, Xue Ling reached out to Wen Jiuze beside him.
"Don't worry about anything, I'm here." Wen Jiuze said.
Xue Ling was thinking of him. He was like a wild animal. Once injured, he would become more alert and sensitive to the external environment.
When he first did the resurrection treatment, he was alone, with no one watching over him. Would he have felt scared?
The second round of treatment was the same as the first. I was in a coma during the process and didn't feel anything.
But when Xue Ling sat up, she saw her cold white skin. Her palms had become plump from dry. She raised her hand to touch her cheeks, which were soft and elastic.
"Ah." She tried to make a sound, but it didn't sound dry like before.
There was a mirror facing the treatment machine, and Xue Ling saw herself in it after a long absence.
Her jet-black hair hung down in front of her, and except for her red eyes, she had completely returned to the past, when she was still a human.
Wen Jiuze stood beside him.
Xue Ling turned her gaze towards him and gave him a sudden smile: "It seems that I have only now truly realized that we have met again in a new world... in a new world."
As soon as I said the word "reunion", tears started to fall from my cheeks.
Seeing the tears falling on his hands, Xue Ling was stunned for a moment: "I can cry now."
She went to see Wen Jiuzhe again, and then she smiled subconsciously, then suddenly burst into tears, crying without any manner at all.
It was as if he was trying to make up for all the tears that he could no longer cry after becoming a zombie.
The confusion and sadness that lasted for so long, the times when I was extremely emotional but couldn't cry no matter what, all accumulated and exploded at this moment.
She could no longer control her emotions.
"Xue Ling." Wen Jiuze called her name several times, but she only cried out in grief, ignoring everything around her.
He moved closer and held her hand. Xue Ling grabbed him tightly as if she had found a piece of driftwood when she fell into the water, leaned against him, and burst into tears.
Wen Jiuze picked her up and walked to a deserted corner outside, stroking her arched back and wiping her red cheeks.
Xue Ling cried for a long time, her eyelashes were wet, and she could hardly open her eyes.
Slowly, her crying gradually subsided, and she uttered words like "they're all gone", "Mom", "Wen Jiuze" and so on that didn't form a complete sentence.
Tears were still pouring out of my eyes, with no sign of slowing down.
She cried so hard that one was worried that she would drain all the water out of her body.
Wen Jiuze spoke to her for a few words but saw no response from her. Suddenly he lowered his head and opened his mouth to cover her eyes.
The tears that had not yet flowed were sucked away, and even her eyelashes and eyelids were held in her mouth, and the frightening feeling of her eyeballs being licked finally frightened Xue Ling awake.
"…What are you doing?"
"Stop crying, you're going to tear your eyes out."
Xue Ling leaned back and touched her eyes which were red and dry from crying. She felt a little moisture overflowing from the gaps and she quickly reached out to wipe it away.
Wen Jiuze held her with one hand, pushing her retreating body back, and used the other hand to open a syringe.
"I'll give you some fluids. If you lose too much fluid all at once, your body will be damaged. Close your eyes."
Xue Ling saw him preparing to stab her neck, so she leaned against him and closed her eyes.
It doesn't hurt, just my neck feels a little cold.
After a while, Wen Jiuze asked her to sit up straight and kissed her on the place where the needle was inserted in her neck.
"Okay." He threw the empty syringe aside and pinched Xue Ling's face.
"The undead are not truly immortal. We have at least lived longer than Wen Yi and are over eighty years old... Don't cry like this next time."
Xue Ling fell into a stupor after crying so hard, with her head against his chest. After a few minutes, she suddenly looked up and asked, "Why is your heart not beating?"
Wen Jiuze: "You scared me so much that my heart stopped beating."
Xue Ling: "...Mine doesn't seem to jump that much either."
Wen Jiuze: "The more you cry, the less it jumps. Try crying again."
Xue Ling felt that he was talking nonsense again, but she was too lazy to explore it for the time being and leaned on his shoulder slowly.
His shoulders were wet. Xue Ling turned her eyes and saw that there were many wet marks on his clothes, especially on his shoulders, which felt like water could be squeezed out.
Xue Ling moved her head and leaned it against the other side's dry shoulder.
Turning around, she noticed that it was afternoon. The building opposite was ablaze with golden light, and a large patch of Koelreuteria trees were blooming below, also in brilliant golden color.
The blue of the sky and the bright yellow together make everything bright.
There are also many Koelreuteria trees in Yu City.
Thinking of this, Xue Ling hugged Wen Jiuze's broad shoulders tightly again and grabbed his clothes.
"I woke up ten years earlier than you." Wen Jiuze pulled her away from him, let her sit on his lap, looked into her eyes and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Xue Ling: What do you mean? Are you going to settle the score with me for making you wait for so long?
"It means that I have everything ready and am just waiting for you."
So don't be so confused and panic.
Wen Jiuze's voice was gentle and a little coaxing: "We have a place to live, a good job, and I have savings. Do you want to see how much I have?"
You said so.
"How many are there? Let me see." Xue Ling's voice was nasal. She moved closer and watched him unfold the communicator on his wrist.
This is the current "mobile phone". In simple mode, it looks like a watch and can be unfolded into the size of a tablet.
Xue Ling watched him click here and there, and finally opened a page. She looked carefully and saw that the balance was zero.
Xue Ling: “?”
Wen Jiuze: "How is it? Doesn't it suit your name?"
Xue Ling sat up instantly, while Wen Jiu calmly closed this page and opened another one: "I made a mistake. The deposit amount is on this page."
This time the balance became a very considerable number.
Because of the considerable amount, Xue Ling began to doubt the current value of currency. Is it because of inflation that money has become worthless, that is why the amount is so large?
"Is this a lot?" she asked. "Can I buy a flying machine?"
"What kind of flying machine do you want to buy?"
"Can I buy the one you sat in when you came here yesterday?"
"That kind of large aircraft specially used by the abnormal team for missions is not allowed to be sold privately. However, it is not impossible for you to have one." Wen Jiuze thought thoughtfully, "If it is accidentally damaged during the mission..."
Xue Ling broke out in a cold sweat and held him down: "I don't want it! Any other flying machine that can be bought will do!"
Wen Jiuze hugged her waist and laughed out loud.
Xue Ling: "You're playing tricks on me again, aren't you?"
Wen Jiuze lifted her up and hugged her: "I have a private aircraft parked in the institute. Let's go, we can drive it back now."
That was prepared in order to capture someone to search for Xue Ling during the holidays.
It is very difficult for a private individual to purchase an aircraft, as a number of qualifications are required, but Wen Jiuze's identity gave them the green light.
That is a legacy from three hundred years ago.
If he had been alone at the beginning, he might never have dealt with Wen Yi and would never have entered the Beizheng base.
It was Xue Ling who led him down that path and left him with such a fortune, which became their current security.
"Wait, you guys are ready to leave now? You just finished the resuscitation treatment, why don't you take a break? She still needs to take medicine regularly, to consolidate..."
Wen Jiuze: "Give me all the medicine, I know what to do."
It looked like he didn't want to stay here any longer. The people in the institute knew they couldn't stop him, so they had to give him all the medicines he needed.
"You finally found Xiaoxiao, and you don't have to torture us anymore."
"Xiaoxiao, goodbye. Come and see us if you have any problem."
Wen Jiuze looked strange: "What did you call her?"
Xue Ling immediately covered Wen Jiuze's ears with both hands and kicked his thighs randomly: "Go, go, go, go, go!"
In the end, he was too late to stop it, and Wen Jiuze learned the origin of the name.
He seemed to be in a good mood. At least his expression was much better than when we first met, and his smile became natural, not like the forced grin of a murderer.
"oh……"
As soon as he uttered a word, Xue Ling knew that he had something bad to say, so she covered her mouth tightly to prevent him from saying anything.
