Chapter 558 Brother Ji is making trouble
Half a year later...
Ji Changqing took He Rui on a cross-border journey.
The purpose of their trip was to go to Russia to find several Russian Federation experts in the aerospace field at the request of the Huaguo Institute.
What's more...China actually hopes that they can rescue as many scientific research experts and elite talents as possible from the Russian Federation into the small world.
...
This journey is longer than I imagined.
The Union State still retains the organizational form of the Soviet era, with a vast territory, even larger than China.
Even with Ji Changqing's teleportation ability, they made eleven space jumps before finally reaching their destination.
The situation in the Russian Federation is even more tragic than that in China - this is not only the direct impact point of the asteroid, but also the earliest outbreak site of the virus. The strength and density of the mutated organisms far exceed that of China, and they are also more cunning and powerful.
You can encounter a mutated plant almost every few steps.
The entire city is deserted like Chernobyl, which has been abandoned for decades. The wreckage of the buildings is covered by layers of twisted green vegetation, exuding a dead and hideous atmosphere.
He Rui felt the completely unfamiliar and dangerous environment. He held the hand of the man next to him tightly, feeling a little nervous.
Ji Changqing, on the other hand, was like a fish in water. He started collecting these more powerful mutant creatures and raising them in the small world.
With Ji Changqing's ability, they quickly locked onto the surviving target expert in the ruins.
Communication was not a problem either, as He Rui explained the current situation in fluent Russian.
After letting the other party enter the small world and meet the Chinese scientific research expert brought by Brother Ji and whom the other party also knew, at the request of several Russian white-haired scholars, Ji Changqing rescued a group of people from the Russian Federation one after another.
Although it was not stated explicitly, He Rui felt that sooner or later these people would definitely change from being people of the Russian Federation to being ethnic Russians in China.
...
After returning to the mountain cabin and starting a peaceful life again, He Rui slowly noticed something unusual about Ji Changqing.
The person who often hugged him from behind, rested her chin on his shoulder and chuckled, gradually became silent.
He Rui noticed that his brother Ji smiled less and less. Even if he occasionally curled up the corners of his mouth, it seemed forced and restrained, as if he was being pressed down by something heavy, and his whole aura became depressed and sad.
What hurt him the most was that even in the most intimate moments—when their breaths intertwined, their bodies blended together, and it should have been the most intimate time—the other person's eyes would inadvertently reveal a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal.
The look was fleeting, but like a tiny, sharp thorn, it pierced deeply into his heart.
...He Rui gently stroked Ji Changqing's face, tracing his slightly furrowed brows with his fingertips, trying to soothe the invisible sorrow.
He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What's wrong with you? You seem depressed lately."
This state reminded him of how Brother Ji was depressed because of Ji Xinghan when they first met. This made him feel distressed and uneasy, and he had a bad premonition.
Ji Changqing looked at him fondly, and after a long silence, he spoke, "I really want to be with you forever."
These words made He Rui's heart tighten.
Brother Ji's tone...why does it sound like he's saying goodbye?
Sure enough, Ji Changqing's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave -
"I found a way to send you back... You shouldn't be imprisoned by my side." Ji Changqing stroked He Rui's hair and whispered, "For the past six months, I have been looking for a way to send you back to Earth. A few days ago, I finally succeeded..."
He saw Ruirui's unconcealed longing for his hometown and relatives when he mentioned them, hesitated for a long time, and finally made this painful decision.
