Chapter 2: Headless Corpse



Gu Yi: “Yes.”

Xu Shiqing: "No, I just took a nap. I didn't do anything."

Indeed, after a serious sleep, you wake up to find your colleagues telling you that the report you submitted was sent back for revisions. Who is innocent? Who is suffering?

"Wait for Gaozhou to come back and let him analyze the reasons." Gu Yi said concisely.

"Where are Sister Dandan and Xiao Zhou?" Xu Shiqing asked.

"She and Gao Zhou went to several bases for exchanges. They just left the day before yesterday. Gao Zhou left early yesterday morning to deal with enemies with bad intentions."

Xu Shiqing said "oh" and his attention was attracted by the ordinary people walking on the street and the patrolling psychics, and his eyes lit up.

"Right now, all bases are working to restore the order that existed before the apocalypse." Gu Yi saw how excited he was, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "Although most of the satellites have been abandoned, there are ground base stations near the base. So, while we can't communicate with other places at the moment, there are no problems communicating within the base."

"It used to be a big theater there, and it still is. But it's open for free at night, and they have people playing movies there."

Xu Shiqing asked excitedly: "Can I go?"

"Today's spot has been taken." Gu Yi watched the brilliance in those eyes dim. Not wanting to keep it a secret, he quickly said, "Let's grab tomorrow's spot."

Xu Shiqing revived with full strength: "What movie will be showing tomorrow?"

Gu Yi: "Gutian Military Call."

Coincidentally, he actually knew it.

"What about today?"

"The fourth episode of "X Huan Zhuan"." Gu Yi said.

Xu Shiqing continued, "You can grab it, right?"

"I'm a person with special abilities, and they can't buy tickets as fast as I do." Gu Yi smiled mischievously.

And once that face showed up, no one would dare cut in line. He'd heard about people using supernatural powers to cut in line at the theater, and he couldn't help but feel helpless about the lack of talent under his command, but it wasn't a bad thing.

Xu Shiqing: "Ah, you are bullying the weak! I'm going to tell Sister Dandan."

"Go easy on your words, Sister Dandan is not easy to mess with right now," Gu Yi felt warmth flowing out of his body. This time he actually laughed at this familiar conversation: "Gaozhou fell asleep in the office a few days ago and forgot to go back, so Sister Dandan gave him a good beating."

[What? Who got beaten?] System 021 was absorbed in reading comics and browsing forums when she suddenly heard this and subconsciously asked.

"They have a really good relationship," Xu Shiqing said without any reaction. He then changed the subject: "What about Xiao Zhou? Doesn't he have a girlfriend yet?"

The system took a look, hung up again, and turned to read comics and fan fiction - He was not only reading the stories of this world, but also digital life. This was the only fun left for 007 to keep going.

Gu Yi replied calmly: "No, his ability scared several girls and he was blacklisted from the dating market."

Then he quickly glanced at the taxi following behind him and shook his head slightly at the driver who was looking at him.

"...Do we need to deal with the people behind?" Xu Shiqing suddenly asked in a serious tone.

The driver was startled and said subconsciously: "Chief?"

"Just keep driving, it's okay." Gu Yi still shook his head at him, then turned to Xu Shiqing and asked, "He must have heard something and wanted to find out what's going on. It's okay."

Gu Yi was not surprised that Xu Shiqing discovered the car behind.

"I think so too. You are not the kind of person who would leave problems unsolved." Xu Shiqing nodded.

Sometimes, Gu Yi felt he was too sensitive, like right now. He nervously crossed his fingers and placed them on his legs. The price of these years of sedimentation was that he had lost his ability to react to Xu Shiqing's behavior. Gu Yi could chat and laugh with the boy in his memory, and fight side by side with him, but he couldn't predict how the real Xu Shiqing would react.

He was already dead. Gu Yi had never understood it so clearly, but he also remembered the vibrant pulse of life in his hand's artery just now, and he became even more bewildered.

"...It's just a compromise that I have to make." Gu Yi whispered. Of course he could weave a beautiful fairy tale for the other party. This is what he could do. After all, Xu Shiqing would go back eventually - yes, in this short period of time, he had already felt the abnormal fluctuations in the other party. The sensitive psychic understood that this was probably the fundamental reason that prompted them to meet at this moment.

A white lie to his family. How logical! But Xu Shiqing didn't need it.

He wasn't surprised, he just curled his lips and took the initiative to bring up a topic, or rather, his attention was attracted by something else.

"That - is that a school?" Xu Shiqing was completely surprised, especially since there were so many children there.

Time had suddenly thrust before his eyes a more powerful proof of aging than the appearance of his friends and family. At that moment, he finally felt the reality of ten years having passed.

The change was really huge. He didn't have any children at that time.

"Gao Zhou is the leader." Gu Yi was startled by his surprise and took the initiative to explain: "...He is the leader of the scientific research and technical personnel at the base, and he has always been short of staff."

"Poor guy." Xu Shiqing gloated. He could imagine how miserable Gaozhou was.

Gu Yi did not express his agreement or denial. The main reason was that he was partly responsible for the lack of manpower due to this guy being too busy. As the culprit, it was difficult for him to say much.

"But seriously, I knew you were going to succeed." Xu Shiqing reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the school. The meaning of that normal scene could not be understood by those who had not experienced the despair of doomsday.

The car drove into an area where well-equipped people were coming and going, and then stopped within the line. The driver did not show any intention of getting out until they got out and left.
