Chapter042
“…”
Shi Jiu reached out to take the food from Michel, but Michel dodged without a word.
The soldiers around Michel also understood something. They looked at each other and found an excuse to leave.
There were only two people left on the quiet street.
Shi Jiu raised his eyes to look at Mi Xiu and said slowly: "Isn't it not delicious?"
He lowered his eyes slightly, the light from the street lamp reflected in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "It's indeed not delicious, but I like it very much."
The night at the base was a bit chilly, so Michelle and Shijiu sat down on a wooden bench beside the path. Michelle put down his lunch box first, then took off his coat and draped it over Shijiu.
His clothes were a bit too big for Shijiu, and now Shijiu looked like a child wearing adult clothes. His warmth still lingered on the clothes, and Shijiu froze for a moment before looking up at him.
Michaux had already picked up his lunch box. Feeling her gaze, he explained, "It's cold at night."
"Thank you." Shi Jiu wrapped the clothes around her.
Michaux said, “You’re welcome.”
Michel ate quite fast, and he ate up all the lunch box Shijiu gave him, without leaving any.
"Thank you. This is the most filling meal I've had in the past few days." Michel looked at her sideways.
The night wind blew his silver hair, and there was a smile in his pale eyes.
It was getting late, and Shijiu had originally wanted to return Michel's coat and then go back to the dormitory. But before she could say anything, Michel got a call from his superior. Shijiu remained silent, waiting for Michel to finish his call.
There seems to be some conflict between Michel and that side, and people in the base do not agree with Michel's decision.
Shi Jiu vaguely heard some voices from the other side, saying: ".....complete denial.....the overall situation is more important..."
After Michel hung up the phone, his expression was the same as usual, cold and indifferent, but Shijiu could feel that Michel was in a bad mood.
Shijiu poked his head out, looked at Mixiu, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Michaux said, "Something happened at the base."
"The higher-ups have evacuated many of the soldiers guarding the underground, and are now strictly guarding against the air."
Shi Jiu originally thought that he would not tell her much, but she did not expect that Mi Xiu would take the initiative to tell her the reason.
"Do you think there are dangers underground?" Shi Jiu asked.
"Um."
"Are you going back?"
Mi Xiu noticed her movements, his eyes drooped slightly, his voice was very soft, and he looked a little lonely.
Shijiu was silent for a moment. Before she could speak, Mixiu looked up at the sky. The weather was beautiful tonight, and many shining stars could be seen in the sky. Mixiu cast his gaze on her again, "Want to go for a walk?"
Perhaps because she didn't want to disappoint him, Shi Jiu's mouth agreed before her brain could react. She said, "Okay."
Seeing her agree, Michel's eyes curved slightly.
Michel came riding his motorcycle, which was also a beautiful silver. Shijiu was still observing Michel's motorcycle, but she didn't expect her head to suddenly drop. Michel helped her put on a helmet. According to the small reflector on the motorcycle, Shijiu could see that the helmet was silver-gray, which must be the one he often wore.
Shijiu stood obediently, and Mixiu bent down slightly to help her fix her helmet.
Seeing Mixiu sitting on the motorcycle without a helmet, Shi Jiu asked, "Aren't you wearing one?"
Because of the helmet, Shijiu's voice sounded buzzing.
Mi Xiu's two long legs supported the ground. Hearing her words, Mi Xiu glanced over and said, "There is only one."
Shi Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Don't you have a spare one?"
“No one would have made my car before.”
After Mixiu finished speaking, he patted the back seat and said, "Get in the car."
The streetlights on the road passed by her eyes one by one, forming a golden line. He was moving very fast, and the wind whistled past her ears. Shi Jiu subconsciously leaned forward and leaned on his back.
Mixed with the sound of the wind, Shi Jiu heard him say: "If you are afraid, just hold on to me."
Shi Jiu wasn't actually afraid. She really liked the feeling of moving so fast; it was so free. But for some reason, his voice seemed to be a bit bewitching. Shi Jiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and put her arms around his waist.
After feeling her movement, Michel lowered his eyes, glanced at her hand on his waist, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Michel finally parked the car on a high overpass. The two of them stood on the side of the road, looking down at the brightly lit base and the gorgeous starry sky above.
Shijiu quietly felt the night breeze for a while. She suddenly turned around, leaned her back against the railing, and looked up at Mixiu. "There's something I'm curious about."
"What's the matter?" asked Michaux.
Shi Jiu looked at him and asked curiously, "You know I'm an alien, why don't you arrest me?"
Mixiu had known her identity for a long time, but strangely let her stay in the base and did not arrest her.
Under the faint moonlight, Mi Xiu smiled. He lowered his eyes to look at Shi Jiu and said softly, "Because someone once promised that she was a good alien and would not harm humans."
Shi Jiu was stunned. It took her a long time to react. "Are you Fan Cheng?"
Mixiu didn't say anything, but just tilted his head slightly.
He has a cool temperament, but it's actually a little cute when he does this action.
Shi Jiu didn't ask the question again. She looked up at the night sky. There were many stars in the night sky, and occasionally a shooting star would pass by.
"Have you heard a rumor?" Shi Jiu asked.
"What rumors?"
Shi Jiu blinked his eyes and said, "I heard that if you make a wish on a shooting star, it will come true."
Michaux also laughed and asked, "What is your wish?"
Shi Jiu paused, her voice becoming a little softer, and she said, "I want someone to wake up."
Michaux was also silent for a while, and he asked softly, "Someone very important to you?"
"Yeah." Shi Jiu raised her eyes to look him in the eye and said, "It's very important."
The base had been quiet for the past few days, and Shijiu had been spending her days in Dr. Song's lab. She was very cooperative, and the people in the lab had gradually come to trust her. Dr. Song had even begun to let her in on the core of the experiments.
However, Shi Jiu still had no chance to touch the little jellyfish, and the jellyfish tank had not been opened. She looked good, floating carefree in the water all day.
"It's so happy." The doctor also walked to the front of the water tank and said with a smile, "I wish humans could be as happy as it."
"Yes." A cold man's voice appeared behind them.
Shi Jiu looked back and saw that it was Mi Xiu coming over.
He was in much better condition and no longer looked as haggard as he had been in the previous two days.
"It looks like Admiral Mishu isn't here to see me." The doctor had already noticed Mishu's eyes on Shijiu. He joked, then smiled and left, "You guys chat."
Now everyone in the institute knows the relationship between Shi Jiu and Admiral Mi Xiu. Shi Jiu has clarified it, but no one believes it.
Seeing Admiral Mishu coming, the researchers all looked over here unconsciously.
Shi Jiu felt a little uncomfortable. She quietly reached out and pulled the corner of Lamixiu's clothes, whispering, "Come here."
They went to a less obvious corner, and before Shijiu could speak, Mixiu's eyes fell on Shijiu's wrist.
Mi Xiu noticed when she pulled his clothes just now that there was a bruise on her white wrist. "What happened?"
Shi Jiu also lowered his eyes to glance at her and said softly, "It's okay, the research just needs my blood."
The research required her blood, and the frequency of blood draws had increased over the past two days, resulting in some blue marks on her wrists. However, they were neither painful nor itchy, so they had no effect on her.
"Wait here for a moment."
Michaux returned quickly, bringing a small medicine bottle. He glanced down at her, then reached out and took her arm, saying softly, "Lift it up first."
Shijiu raised his arm obediently. Mixiu poured the potion on his own hands, rubbed them gently, and applied it on Shijiu's injured wrist.
A little cool, but very comfortable.
"The swelling should go away after a while." The time was almost up, so Michel withdrew his hand.
"This is the potion I made. Take it. If this happens again next time, apply it to the affected area as soon as possible."
Shi Jiu took the medicine bottle from Mi Xiu's hand and jokingly said, "How come you know everything?"
Mi Xiu smiled softly and asked, "Will everything be bad?"
Shi Jiu shrugged and said, "It's fine."
Mixiu was actually here for Dr. Song's Yinzhu experiment. He was in charge of this research in the military base, so he could move freely in and out of the laboratory.
While Michel went to discuss things with Dr. Song, Shijiu had nothing to do, so he squatted in front of the water tank and started playing with the little jellyfish.
"When can I get you out?" Shijiu stretched out a finger and played with the little jellyfish through the glass, she murmured softly.
Shijiu soon discovered that something was wrong with the little jellyfish; she seemed overly excited. At the same time, Shijiu also sensed a strong, similar scent.
Shi Jiu's movements paused slightly.
The alarm outside the building began to ring. Michel, who had been listening to the report quietly, immediately opened his communication conference. On the other side of the communication conference was the military monitoring room, which was now in a state of panic.
"Alien species appears in area three, requesting support!"
"Alien species appears in Area 6, requesting support!"
"Aliens appear in District 12, requesting support!!"
.......
"Admiral, this is bad! Aliens have appeared in all places except the central area!"
Mixiu's voice was calm, "How did you get in?"
“They all entered from underground!”
"Where are the defenders there?" asked Michel, frowning.
"The air defenses were insufficient before, so Colonel Oss sent them away!"
“........”
Dr. Song heard the conversation between Mi Xiu and the other party. He suddenly said, "I think Admiral Mi Xiu should not come to our laboratory in the future."
Mi Xiu didn't say anything, he looked at Dr. Song.
Dr. Song spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "Why do the aliens attack as soon as you arrive?"
