Ex-husband

On the way back to the new safe zone where the factory was being built, Xin Lan tried very hard to explain to Lorraine the concept of "ex-boyfriend/ex-husband" and how unpopular both of them were.

Finally, a definition was given.

"A qualified ex-boyfriend or ex-husband is as good as dead," Xin Lan said, "This best meets the expectations of the public."

Lorraine turned off the surveillance video in the car, and the picture froze on Ivy's ill-fitting protective suit. It was large and loose, and the sleeves were fastened with straps. It was obviously a men's suit. The owner of the protective suit was about 190 cm tall, very close to him.

Song Feng from the Iris team is of similar height, but Ivy would never wear that guy's clothes, so he is ruled out; Song Xu is a little shorter, only 186cm tall, and he is young, so his muscles are relatively thin and his body is thinner. He usually wears size 185, so he is ruled out;

Tiger from the Green team is over 190cm tall, but he is too strong. It is obvious that the vice-captain likes him. Ivy has a strong sense of boundaries and will never wear his——

Only the well-proportioned Yu Mo was left.

The guy's body had the medium-muscled body that Ivy liked, and it didn't take into account the normal body shape of "a doctor who doesn't exercise much and spends a lot of time in the laboratory and hospital."

Everything was tailored to Ivy's preferences.

But the match is zero.

Lorraine looked at Ivy and Yu Mo on the screen: "This is not the best thing Ivy could expect from her ex-boyfriend."

"Yes," Xin Lan said strangely, "Ivy got along well with every one of her ex-boyfriends - well, except you."

"Xin Lan," Lorraine said, "If you don't know how to speak, you can choose to keep silent. Sometimes you don't need to finish every sentence."

Xin Lan: "Okay, Master."

He sat in the car and communicated with Dongdong in the laboratory through the Internet.

The latter collected some of Yu Mo's hair and DNA fragments, but has not yet found a sample in the huge human gene bank that is 100% consistent with him.

"but……"

Xin Lan received some information, he bent slightly and told Lorraine.

"We can only decipher part of Yu Mo's chip," Xin Lan said, "but the content of this part is very strange. It is a picture of a storybook——"

Lorraine stood up: "What storybook?"

"The Garden of Eden," Xin Lan said, "about the Garden of Eden."

As the sunlight faded, hares were running across the boundless grassland; reed snakes were hiding in the darkness, hissing and twisting their bodies, ready to strike, just waiting to deliver a fatal blow.

"...In the Bible, the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament records that God Jehovah created humans in his own image, one man and one woman, and let them live in the Garden of Eden; the four rivers, the Euphrates, Tigris, Kishon, and Bethune, flowed from the land of Eden into the Garden of Eden, nourishing the fertile earth, and the Garden of Eden, in the Bible, also symbolizes a paradise without worries and desires," Yu Mo walked slowly on the grassland and talked to Ivy, "Humans created bionic people. In a sense, can they also be regarded as the 'creation gods' of bionic people?"

Ivy said, "No, is every human a god?"

"…So it needs to be cleaned up," Yu Mo smiled, "Gods should not have desires and emotions, and treat everyone equally. I remember you took an elective course in Eastern philosophy. What's the saying? What's the big deal?"

Ivy quickly followed up: "The Great Dao is ruthless?"

"Yes, a true God should not be biased," Yu Mo said, looking far ahead, "Emotions and desires have nurtured too many evil thoughts. Greed has led people to cut down forests and over-fish for money... Now, only the wasteland is the Garden of Eden."

But too many humans who do not belong to God have set foot here.

Ivy seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand. She said, "Uh... you know, I don't have any literary knowledge. Can you say something I can understand?"

Yu Mo smiled.

He said, "You're great, Ivy. I was so vague. Sorry..."

Bending over, Yu Mo picked up a rose with a broken branch on the ground and inserted the broken branch firmly into the soil.

Fertile soil and suitable climate allow it to quickly take root and sprout, and grow a beautiful rose again. This powerful ability to regenerate broken limbs has been used in many ways, and humans have been inspired by it to break through the bottleneck of cloning technology.

With just a few limbs and enough DNA, an identical human being can be cloned, comparable to a "God".

Humans created humans, and created bionic humans.

"If only humans who are 'just, fair, loving, and impartial' remained in this world," Yu Mo said, "the entire Earth could become Eden."

Ivy saw the sturdy trees in the distance falling one after another.

"It's too difficult," she said. "It's impossible for a human being to not have any desires."

"Without emotion, there will be no desire," Yu Mo opened the door of the expedition car and invited Ivy to get in. He looked up, his long silver hair cascading down, his handsome face, and his emerald eyes full of admiration - like a mother admiring her proudest daughter, an artist admiring his most outstanding work - "It was human beings who created the Bible, and it was also human beings who created God."

——On this earth, new species are rising.

In the past, the "dominant" creatures on Earth were dinosaurs. Later, the dinosaurs became extinct and humans stood at the top of the food chain. However, humans were too greedy, and after the Earth's ecology collapsed, new species were urgently needed to "lead" the Earth again.

For example, a machine that possesses all human knowledge but has no desires and will not exterminate other species.

After Ivy got into the expedition car, Yu Mo carefully wiped off the dirt on her pants and feet, pinched the small ants on them, and carefully placed them on the grassland.

In the car, Ivy, who was fastening her seat belt, heard Yu Mo's ambiguous words.

"We are creating new gods."

Ivy felt that he might have read too many books.

Yu Mo might be the only literary young man she knew.

For employment considerations, Ivy chose a lot of science and engineering courses for herself since junior high school, studied biology in college, and worked in a related biological company for a year after graduation.

She didn't want to talk about her experience that year.

Like all her colleagues/students who come from ordinary families and are not hungry but not rich, her job is boring. From the first day of work to the last day of resignation, she always does the same thing, repetitive, repetitive, endless repetition. Just like the gears or screws on a machine, they repeat the same thing day after day, and when they become old, they are replaced and thrown into a quiet warehouse with other obsolete parts.

Ivy didn't want to wait and recall her short life filled with repetitive and boring things.

So she has a special interest in joining the expedition team.

Compared to her pragmatic self, Yu Mo is indeed more artistic, compassionate, gentle and thoughtful. This kind of care not only falls on the people around him, but also on the injured and damaged animals and plants around him.

Yu Mo can always easily "revive" the flowers that were killed by Mama Ivy, and can also save small animals and even insects that were injured due to various accidents.

As a child, Ivy even saw him tenderly bandage a cockroach the size of a palm.

Yu Mo also told Ivy that cockroaches can eat bedbugs that suck human blood, and that a type of cockroach can extract Kangfuxin liquid, which can treat human trauma, ulcers, burns, fistulas, scalds, etc. - remember? Xiaobao, you had an ulcer in your mouth this morning, and the Kangfuxin liquid you took was extracted from cockroaches, so cockroaches are beneficial insects - huh? What did you vomit?

Since then, Ivy has not used Kangfuxin Liquid for two years. If she accidentally gets a mouth ulcer, she will wait for it to heal slowly and would rather die than drink a sip.

But in the newly built safe zone, Yu Mo's "good heart" still brought him a lot of trouble.

After lunch, Ivy suggested to the regional manager that before flooding the river with cement, they could first catch the small fish and shrimp and transport them to the river outside the safe zone and release them—

Before she had finished speaking, the person in charge shrieked, "Are you the Virgin Mary, Ivy?"

Ivy explained patiently: "Because one of the objectives of the expedition team is to avoid destroying the ecological environment as much as possible, and when collecting, we are not allowed to -"

"That's an expedition team, a wasteland," the person in charge waved his hand, "This place has been planned as a safe zone - have you calculated how much it will cost? How much energy will we waste on this? It's inexplicable, aren't there any rare species that need to be protected? Forget it, please don't interfere with our work, the construction period is already very tight -"

He left unhappily and told Ivy before leaving.

"You look like a kid from an ordinary family, right?" the person in charge said. "You have never experienced the price of energy. According to your plan, the money we waste in one hour is enough for your family's annual salary."

This is a serious material humiliation.

Ivy said: "Life should not be measured in money."

"Ha, you shouldn't measure it with money," the person in charge laughed, with a deeper meaning, "Money can save lives... It's strange, how can there be a trainee like you who is so naive? I thought the expedition team members were all worldly-wise guys... Well, if you were smart, you wouldn't choose to join the expedition team."

He made an unabashed sarcastic remark and walked away laughing.

I was poisoned by a snake at four o'clock in the afternoon and almost died.

It was a silver ring snake that Yu Mo rescued. It quietly slipped out of the cage. It probably wanted to return to the river where it lived, but the person in charge was directing the filling of cement on the shore.

The silver snake bit his ankle mercilessly, then resolutely jumped into the river, allowing cement to pour over its body.

Yu Mo, who arrived in time, injected the person in charge with snake antidote, but he was quickly controlled and temporarily detained - including Ivy.

Because someone heard Ivy arguing with the person in charge in the afternoon, and because she frequently went in and out of Yu Mo's rescue room, some people suspected that she was controlling the snake for revenge.

Ivy felt that the other person had lost his mind.

I can actually say something like this.

The other members of Team Green were actively pleading for Ivy, but unfortunately the team was small and almost all of its members were civilians, without any political background or money to bribe people. The construction company was also stubborn and refused to give in.

They undertake government work all year round, so naturally the people in charge have very strong connections.

The deputy captain was smarter and more flexible. He slipped some money secretly and found out the network of connections behind the person in charge.

She scowled and told the captain.

"…He is the younger brother of Robert, the captain of the third team of the Xindu Police Department in District 1," Congcong said dejectedly. "This is bad. They are planning to charge Ivy and Yu Mo with premeditated murder."

Captain Wei Xi gasped: "The police captain Robert who has a 99% crime-solving rate?"

"Yes," Congcong nodded, "Also, I heard that the person in charge is very familiar with the 'Red-haired Tyrant' Ci Li, who is best at torture to extract confessions..."

Dangdang raised his hand: "Wait a moment."

He raised his face and sniffed the air.

Tiger gently pushed him and said, "Do you have a seizure at the critical moment?"

"No..." Dangdang said, "I seem to smell the scent of a savior."

Cong Cong asked: "What savior?"

Wei Qi raised his head and looked out the window, surprised: "——The man who just passed by, was he Admiral Hector?"

Dangdang didn't look up, he sniffed hard again.

"It's a little sour," he said, "a taste of vinegar - is sweet and sour carp on our lunch menu?"

Ivy was locked in her dorm room.

This was not unbearable, she was just cut off from the Internet and unable to communicate with the outside world.

When Lorraine arrived, she was reading a book, a torn copy of "Floating". She was watching Scarlett suffer a lot and bring the newly born Melanie back to the scorched earth Tara and kill a wounded soldier who broke in.

Then there was a burst of gunfire outside her dormitory.

Ivy was still in shock, and she snapped the book shut. She saw the door lock that trapped her fell to the ground, being violently broken.

The tall Lorraine walked into the room.

Ivy didn't expect the first meeting after the reunion to be so strange.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder from the shooting. Lorraine frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you that you could come to me for help if you had any problems?"

Ivy said, "Well...mainly because I didn't make it in time."

She placed the novel carefully on the table and looked at him in shock.

The wasteland environment, long journeys and wars did not age Lorraine's skin in the slightest. He even looked healthier and more handsome than when he left.

But Ivy was still a little uneasy. The gun in the other party's hand and the person who was also "detained"...

She was really worried that the same thing would happen next.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lorraine said, "I should just be your ex-husband, not your criminal record."
