Chapter 132 Welcome Home Welcome Home
[A new world has opened, the story is loading...]
[Beep! Beep! Beep! There was a problem loading the plot, requesting to reload... Loading error, beep beep beep... Reloading again...]
[Warning! Warning!! The story cannot be loaded. Feedback has been sent to the main system. The tasker's consciousness is fluctuating significantly, and signal access is beginning to fail...]
In her sleep, Wu Lan vaguely heard a harsh electronic sound. After a period of continuous beeping warning sounds, the sound suddenly cut off and fell into silence.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Lan felt like she had slept for a long time, and the darkness in front of her eyes gradually disappeared.
He opened his eyes and saw a completely unfamiliar environment.
Now he was lying in a semi-enclosed space, which looked like a nutrition cabin or sleeping cabin in an interstellar movie, very high-tech.
Because he was lying down, Wu Lan's vision was very limited and he could only see a small part of the environment.
He should be in a room. In addition to the cabin lying beneath him, there is also a large machine next to him, with various numbers constantly jumping on the screen.
Wu Lan didn't understand what that meant. He guessed that this new world might be a world of high civilization and high technology.
Although the environment before him was completely unfamiliar, he had already gotten used to it and was no longer the fool who knew nothing at the beginning.
Wu Lan blinked calmly, silently waiting for the plot introduction and mission report of 2720, without acting rashly.
But he waited for a long time and didn't hear 2720's unique cold electronic sound.
When Wu Lan poked 2720, the door suddenly opened and two men in white coats walked in.
They don't look like doctors, but more like researchers in a mysterious research institute.
Looking at them, Wu Lan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In his subconscious, he should know them, or have met them before.
Staring at the name on the name tag on one of the people's chest, Wu Lan fell into deep thought.
"woke up?"
Du Zhu opened the cabin, removed the radio wave cables connected to Wu Lan's brain one by one, and loosened the fasteners that secured Wu Lan's hands.
Only then did Wu Lan notice that her hands had been fixed.
Because there was no 2720 to tell him the story, he knew nothing now, and he was not clear about his own identity, so he dared not say anything.
Du Zhu frowned slightly when he saw Wu Lan didn't respond. He looked at the assistant next to him and said, "Xiao Yu, please check if there are any errors in 2720's report, and..."
When Wu Lan heard the young man mention 2720, her eyes widened, she looked at him blankly, and her mouth opened slightly.
“2, 2720…”
Wu Lan's voice was soft and a little hoarse.
Du Zhu paused and looked at the young man lying in the cabin again. His gaze lingered on his delicate face for a few seconds, and he concealed the amazement in his eyes somewhat unnaturally.
Although he had known that Wu Lan was beautiful and had seen her countless times across the cabin, when Wu Lan opened her eyes, he was inevitably distracted by her clear, dark almond-shaped eyes.
But he didn't dare stare openly.
You know, the surveillance camera in this room is working diligently, and the person sitting opposite the camera is watching his every move.
If that person found out that he was staring at Wu Lan, he would probably get angry.
After all, that person is notoriously jealous.
Sure enough, the next second Du Zhu heard a gloomy male voice coming from the headset, saying coldly: "If you dare to stare at me again, I will dig your eyes out."
Although we are now living in a society ruled by law and all citizens are protected by federal laws, Du Zhu believes that the man has plenty of ways to kill him.
Du Zhu calmly choked back his words and replied calmly, "Mr. Yan, I'm doing a routine checkup."
Wu Lan didn't understand why the other party was talking to the air, but he didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to know why this young man named Du Zhu knew 2720.
He wanted to ask clearly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt his throat was very dry, and he couldn't help frowning and coughing.
"Xiao Yu, bring some water."
"Give him some water."
Du Zhu's voice and the man's instructions in the headphones sounded at the same time. The assistant named Xiao Yu was also wearing headphones. He did not dare to disobey the order and immediately brought the warm water.
With the help of Du Zhu, Wu Lan slowly sat up and drank half a cup of warm water. Only then did she feel her throat felt much better.
Du Zhu silently watched Wu Lan drinking water, his hand still on Wu Lan's shoulder, not letting go.
Wu Lan's clothes were a bit thin, and he could clearly feel the boy's thin body and warm touch underneath the clothes.
Being so close, Du Zhu could even smell a faint sweet fragrance.
He gently stroked Wu Lan's back and wanted to ask her to drink slowly. But before he could finish his words, the man's cold voice rang out again in the headset: "Don't you want your hand anymore?"
The sinister low voice made Du Zhu feel as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. He looked calm, but the assistant beside him visibly shook and shuddered with fear.
Seeing this, Du Zhu glanced in the direction of the camera without leaving any trace and put his hand down naturally.
Wu Lan didn't notice what the two were doing. He looked at the cup in his hand which was still half full of warm water, thinking about how to start the conversation.
"How do you feel now?"
The sudden question made Wu Lan nervous. He shook his head and whispered, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
"Do you know why you are here?"
Wu Lan really couldn't answer this question.
Seeing that Wu Lan didn't say anything, Du Zhu asked Xiao Yu to record the situation while he operated something on the machine next to him.
Wu Lan observed them silently. When Du Zhu stopped working, he seized the opportunity to ask, "Can I ask a question?"
Du Zhu looked at Wu Lan and noticed that the little boy looked a little nervous. He clenched his hands together, and his pink and white fingertips were pinched white.
Because she hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, Wu Lan's already fair skin became even whiter. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, she looked like a fragile doll.
Such a beautiful little girl, no wonder that person is so obsessed with her.
Even he was hooked.
"sure."
Du Zhu softened his tone again, hoping to ease Wu Lan's nervousness. "What do you want to ask?"
Wu Lan swallowed nervously and mustered up the courage to ask, "You mentioned 2720 just now, what did you mean?"
Du Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't 2720 your system?"
Du Zhu's voice was as gentle as before. Seeing Wu Lan's surprised expression, he asked again, "Have you forgotten?"
Wu Lan's reaction was very real, he shook his head.
"I haven't forgotten."
He just didn't understand why the person in front of him knew about the existence of 2720, and where 2720 was now.
Having experienced several worlds with 2720, he has long been accustomed to the existence of the system. He relies on the system and trusts the system.
But now, he didn't know where 2720 had gone, nor did he know where he was. The strange feeling of all this gradually surrounded him, making him feel very uneasy.
Du Zhu took in Wu Lan's performance and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Wu Lan, I forgot to tell you something."
Wu Lan raised his head and looked at the other person blankly.
Du Zhu smiled gently at him, and even his voice became much gentler:
"Welcome home."

Another room.
Many scientific researchers in white coats were busy with their heads down, examining and recording a tall man.
The man was handsome, his mixed-race genes giving him strikingly three-dimensional features, his brows and eyes stern. He looked young, but he carried the oppressive air of a man who had held a high position for so long that no one dared to meet his gaze.
In front of him was a large LCD screen, which was playing the image of a room, as if it was transmitted from a surveillance camera.
Yan Hengmiao looked at Wu Lan in the picture without saying a word, his eyes closely following Wu Lan's figure, and an emotion called deep love gradually emerged in his deep eyes.
He never looked away until Du Zhu walked in and stood beside him, without even glancing away.
Du Zhu glanced at Yan Hengmiao. He took the notebook handed to him by his assistant, flipped through two pages, and asked everyone else to leave.
He and Yan Hengmiao were the only ones left in the room.
Du Zhu didn't say anything. He also looked at Wu Lan's figure on the screen. Just as he was secretly admiring Wu Lan's extremely beautiful face, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Turning around, he saw Yan Hengmiao looking at him.
From those cold eyes, Du Zhu read the warning from Yan Hengmiao.
Seeing this, Du Zhu shrugged helplessly, thinking that this person was too stingy and would not even allow him to look at her.
"What's the situation now?"
Du Zhu pretended not to understand, "Are you asking about your current situation?"
He flipped open the notebook again and said as he looked at it, "You are in good physical condition now and have passed the health assessment. Although there was a problem when loading the new world for the sixth time, the system's self-protection mechanism automatically activated, and you were not affected."
"Your data are all above the standard level, indeed..."
"I'm asking how Xiaolan is doing."
Yan Hengmiao interrupted Du Zhu coldly, not caring about his own situation. "Did he remember?"
"I remember now."
Noticing a glimmer in Yan Hengmiao's eyes, Du Zhu paused and continued, "I talked to him for a long time. With positive guidance, he remembered why he appeared here and why he entered the small world to complete the mission."
"The memories from the small world were also brought out. When asked about the events that happened in the small world, he was able to answer them one by one. Oh, and he also remembered most of the memories he lost before the car accident."
"As for his emotional response, the test results show that he can now feel the existence of emotions and can partially respond to them. Next, I will assist him in continuing his emotional recovery. I will provide you with the specific plan later."
Yan Hengmiao's heart was in suspense as he listened to Du Zhu's words. He listened carefully, but did not hear what he wanted to hear most.
His cold brows were tightly furrowed, and he could no longer bear to interrupt Du Zhu.
"Did he remember me?"
Du Zhu paused for a moment, hearing the faint tremor in Yan Hengmiao's voice, and was obviously very concerned about his next answer.
Closing the notebook in his hand, Du Zhu did not answer immediately. He looked at Wu Lan who was eating on the screen, his gentle eyes darkened, and said:
"He remembered everything, but not you."
