Chapter 777
"Oh, you just woke up and you don't remember anything except me, haha~"
Although this is a fact, when Dogmouth repeats it, I feel like hitting him.
Xue Ling took out the medical tape given by the research institute and taped it on Wen Jiuze's mouth: "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors!"
Anyway, she won’t admit it!
Wen Jiuze, whose mouth was sealed, raised his eyebrows slightly and curled his lips. That expression was happy and teasing, secretly happy and a little pretentious, handsome and asking for a beating... It made people feel itchy in their hearts and fists at the same time.
He smiled and shut up, but his face said, "Although we both know what the truth is, I'll let you go."
The aircraft parked on the dedicated helipad of the First Research Institute was gray-blue with a silvery tint.
It should have been very cool, but unfortunately its owner Wen Jiuze doesn't seem to take very good care of it.
The fuselage was covered with dust and unknown stains. When the door slid open, the inside was a mess like an old warehouse.
It was packed with stuff, even stacking up a few old freezers.
"These freezers are broken, there's nothing in them. Why did you put them here?" Xue Ling was surprised.
Wen Jiuze leaned forward.
Xue Ling: “?”
Wen Jiuze: "Tear off the tape on your mouth." As soon as he spoke, the tape on his mouth opened.
Xue Ling was speechless. Can't you tear it yourself?
She raised her hand and tore off the tape on his mouth. Wen Jiuze then said, "Last time I went out, I found a few old-fashioned freezers in the ruins. I brought them back for testing."
Xue Ling took a closer look and found that the appearance of these freezers was quite similar to the freezers they had originally.
"Then the detection..." Xue Ling didn't finish his words. He raised his foot and kicked the cold storage compartment down, and threw all the debris piled up in the compartment into the air.
Throwing away the free and unrestrained feeling of finally finishing the exam and throwing away the exercise book.
"These things are of no use now," Wen Jiuze said.
Xue Ling saw that among the pile of miscellaneous items there were shovel ropes covered in dirt, lighting tools, tents and rain boots, and discarded electrical boxes.
Did you use these to rob graves before?
After clearing away the debris, Xue Ling saw a thick coat thrown on the front driver's seat.
And the co-pilot's medical kit and daily necessities were piled high.
Wen Jiuze acted quickly and cleaned these up as well.
"These are all the tools and sundries that I used to bring with me when I was taking people out to work with the research institute. They are useless now."
After a lot of bangs and clangs, the aircraft was finally empty, and he cleaned it up so thoroughly that it looked like a typhoon had swept through it.
He sat down in the driver's seat and pushed the controller forward: "Sit tight, we're leaving."
Xue Ling was still patting the dust off the passenger seat, wondering how the stains got there, when she felt the aircraft begin to slide forward. She didn't care to give up and quickly sat down.
When Wen Jiuze leaned over to help her fasten her seat belt, Xue Ling was in a trance for a moment.
When Wen Jiuzhe first found her in Anxi and drove her away, he also came over to fasten her seat belt.
"This seat belt should be fastened like this. Have you learned it?" Wen Jiuze asked.
"I got it." Xue Ling took note of it carefully.
"That's great, but I can't use it even if I know how to do it, because it has an automatic button."
Wen Jiuze pressed a button, and the complicated seat belts snapped together with a gentle click.
Xue Ling: “…”
A second before Xue Ling raised his fist, Wen Jiu returned to his seat, pushed the control stick to the end, and the aircraft that had already slid onto the runway suddenly took off.
Xue Ling held the handrail tightly. This was much more exciting than riding in a car.
The aircraft made very little noise and did not fly very high, only about a hundred or two hundred meters above the ground. The houses scattered about below could still be clearly seen.
"We are now in Beifeng District, also known as Area A, which is currently the largest livable area. There are more than 40 cities in Beifeng District, and there are strict boundaries between cities." Wen Jiuze said, slowly lifting the aircraft upwards.
When you get to a higher place, you can see clearly that the roads and rivers on the ground divide the areas with clear boundaries.
"We live there, in Lebanon City. The Abnormal Team lives there. Each team has a separate building. Next to it is the Abnormal Management Center and the Infection Prevention and Rescue Center, as well as the A-Zone Patrol Guard."
Xue Ling looked in the direction he pointed, and first saw a field of green trees and a lake, and then saw the small buildings built around it.
Compared to other areas with tall buildings and bustling scenes, there are obviously fewer people in that area and more greenery.
Xue Ling thought: In an area with such a low plot ratio, the land price must be very high.
The management was also very strict. They had flown over so many areas before without encountering any obstacles, but when they arrived over this area, robot guards patrolled the sky.
Xue Ling initially thought it was a flock of birds circling in the sky until they flew next to the aircraft, hovered, and issued an electronic voice: "Please show your ID and pass."
Wait, I don’t think I have an ID card yet. Could it be that I am an illegal resident now?
At the same time Xue Ling realized this problem, Wen Jiuze pulled out two pieces of identification.
The bird-like sky guard quickly completed the scan and flew away.
"You have my ID? Have you already gotten it for me?" Xue Ling pulled Wen Jiuze's hand to see the document he had just shown.
"Don't I need to do this myself? Didn't you see me staying at the research institute? When did you secretly do it?"
Wen Jiuze: "I told you, everything is ready. We are just waiting for you. We are here."
The aircraft landed in front of a twelve-story building.
Wen Jiuze led her downstairs and told her, "We live on the fifth floor."
Xue Ling suddenly remembered that the house she originally rented was also on the fifth floor.
It was such a big building, but they didn't see a single person when they entered. There were stairs leading up to the fifth floor, and there was only one household on each floor.
Whether it is the outside environment, the building exterior, or the corridors and elevators, they are all spacious and new, and you can tell at a glance that they are well maintained.
But after Wen Jiuze pushed open the door, Xue Ling fell silent.
Separated by a door, the outside is clean and tidy with fine decoration, but inside is a dark haunted house with no one living in it.
Xue Ling: Wen Jiuze, you really know how to ruin a house.
The heavy blackout curtains were drawn tightly, and several of the overhead chandeliers were broken, leaving only one dim, yellow light still on.
The house looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. The floor was covered with a layer of dust, and one could clearly see a trail of footprints walking back and forth from the door to a room.
"How long has it been since you came back?" Xue Ling asked.
"More than two months?" Wen Jiuze couldn't quite remember. Apart from completing team missions, he spent most of his time running around outside and seldom came back here.
He spent longer time at the First Research Institute than here.
"You don't clean at all?" Xue Ling was going crazy about this bachelor's house.
"Cleaning?" Wen Jiuze recalled, "Oh, I remember when I checked in, they said there was a smart housekeeper that could clean the room regularly, but I turned it off because I thought it was too noisy."
He walked to the control panel next to the door, looking for the smart butler switch that was turned off because it was too smart and had no wisdom.
Xue Ling walked inside on the dusty ground.
The house is big but empty. Apart from the fixed island and cabinet, there is only a sofa in the living room and not even a dining table.
On the right is a living room leading to a small balcony, which is full of miscellaneous items. At a glance, there are several abandoned freezers and some "junk" that look broken and old.
She went to the left of the living room and opened the large floor-to-ceiling curtains facing the lake. The bright light and the golden Koelreuteria flowers surrounding it immediately rushed into her eyes.
"Why did you draw the curtains before when you have such a beautiful view of the lake and trees!" Xue Ling didn't understand.
Did this guy really live before?
Wen Jiuze said: "It was too bright before and it was annoying to look at."
When he lay on the sofa to relieve his fatigue, the overly bright sunlight would make the floor glow, like some kind of quiet afternoon dream, but he was the only one in the quiet room, and he didn't like that feeling.
After a while, I turned on the smart housekeeper again. A bell rang in the room, and a human baritone voice sounded.
"Restart completed, welcome to use Smart Butler. It has been eight years, nine months and ten days since your last use. Smart Butler needs to update your information in order to provide better service."
“How many people are currently living here?”
"Two."
"May I ask how you are related?"
"couple."
Xue Ling turned her head to look at Wen Jiuze with a shocked expression.
What husband and wife? Did I agree? Have we obtained the marriage certificate? How dare you ask me that?
The smart butler said happily: "Congratulations, after being single for so long without the company of a smart butler, you finally have a partner..."
Wen Jiuze quickly pressed skip without any expression.
Xue Ling: “…”
She reasonably guessed that Wen Jiuze shut down the smart butler because the AI accidentally touched a sore spot, which led to his anger and he hasn't used it for a few years.
The smart housekeeper starts working, the indoor ventilation is activated, the floor and countertops are cleaned with a suspended cleaner, and the large glass surfaces are wiped clean with hidden brushes.
Xue Ling walked into the room. Several rooms were empty. Only one room had a bed and a cabinet. The bathroom was probably the cleanest place in the house and was obviously used most frequently.
But the things scattered on the counter were extremely messy, with empty cans thrown on the side and unused unknown creams that had not been capped and were clumped together.
Xue Ling instantly returned to the time when she lived with Wen Gou. It took her so long to train him.
Don't leave things lying around, hang up towels, clean up the shower room, and wash dirty clothes promptly...
"Wen Jiuzhe! Wen Jiuzhe, come and pack up all your things! Put away the ones you need and throw away the ones you don't want!"
Wen Jiuze walked over slowly.
She then began to instruct him to clean up the things in a very masterly manner.
The door of the room on the fifth floor, which was closed all year round, was wide open. Wen Jiu took out all the debris in the room and piled it outside, waiting for the garbage disposal machine to come and take it away.
Xue Ling walked around several times, and she could often be heard calling Wen Jiuze inside and outside the house.
"Wen Jiuze? Wen Jiuze, don't you have any change of sheets? Your quilt is torn and you are covering yourself like this?"
Xue Ling called out twice but got no response. She walked out but didn't see Wen Jiuze. Instead, she saw a few serious-looking men wearing hats standing at the wide-open door.
"Hello, we are from the Beifeng District Household Registration Administration Bureau."
Household Registration Administration Bureau?
Xue Ling thought: Wen Jiuze, you better not be the one to give me a false certificate.
"Our system found that a previously sealed household registration of a person named Xue Ling has been activated and used, so we came here to confirm the situation." They said seriously.
"That's right, Xue Ling, the defroster who is in the same situation as me, you can contact the First Research Institute to get a certificate. I remember that I have gone through the other procedures before."
Wen Jiuze said behind them.
There was so much clutter in their house that the garbage disposal broke down, so he had to move it downstairs along with the garbage disposal.
When I came back, I saw these people standing at the door.
Seeing Wen Jiuze, several people took two steps back and let him enter first.
Although their expressions remained serious, several of them were secretly groaning in their hearts.
No matter from which aspect, Wen Jiuze is a celebrity in their system.
A heroic martyr from more than 300 years ago, the longest-lived cryotherapy patient in recorded history, the oldest existing virus carrier, an ace member of the Abnormal Squad who broke multiple mission records... What impressed people the most under these reputations was his stubbornness and persistence.
When we were applying for his ID, he asked to have another person's ID applied for as well.
It was Xue Ling, his lover who was from the same generation and in the same situation as him.
But this "Xue Ling" did not exist at that time, and they could not register a new identity for a dead person who might have been dead for a long time and had no chance of resurrection.
Their status is indeed special and they can get some preferential treatment, but some rules are there and they just can't do it.
At that time, Wen Jiuze couldn't get the result he wanted, so he turned around and joined the abnormal team.
It was unclear what he did, but not long after, the Household Registration Administration received a notice asking them to get Xue Ling's identity certificate first.
Do it first, but you can temporarily deactivate it, just to appease this thorn.
The people at the Household Registration Administration still remember this incident clearly and discussed it internally for a long time.
They all thought that the identity certificate that Wen Jiuze insisted on applying for would never be activated.
Unexpectedly...it was really activated today.
They witnessed a historical re-enactment.
