“…”
Luo Xiyun felt as if her breath was stuck there, but when she thought of Chen Xu's abnormal state yesterday, she still endured it. But she didn't want to stay here anymore, so she turned around and walked out.
Chen Xu picked up the basket and followed from behind.
The two walked into the train one after the other, without speaking a word along the way.
After getting off the train, Luo Xiyun went straight to the study room. After putting on his glasses, his mood gradually calmed down.
It was noon again, and the alarm clock reminded her to go back for lunch.
She turned off the alarm and continued reading.
Dongdong——
Luo Xiyun didn't take off her glasses until she heard a knock on the table. Chen Xu stood in front of her and said, "It's time for lunch."
She didn't move, just looked at him.
"I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking this morning and said some things I shouldn't have said." Chen Xu said in a sincere tone.
Luo Xiyun put his glasses back in place, stood up, and said, "Aren't we going to eat? Let's go."
She walked to the dining table and sat down. Today there were brand new dishes, all of which Chen Xu had never made before.
"Try this lion's head." Chen Xu scooped up a meatball with a spoon and put it in her bowl. "I saw this dish called lion's head on TV before and was always curious about what it looked like. Later I found out that it was a kind of meatball. After knowing the truth, the feeling is indescribable..."
It was just a small storm and it passed just like that.
After that, their lives returned to normal. Apart from three meals a day and studying, they played ball together and danced occasionally...
Every few days, I would go and see the babies, the oldest of whom is now almost three years old. These babies have excellent genes, are very smart, and can start preschool education.
Such days are not colorful, but they are plain and fulfilling.
…………
Half a year passed in a flash, and the return of the clones forced Chen Xu to devote some of his energy to the underground humans.
The clone lived up to expectations and brought back a lot of information. The biological intelligence brain in his body was almost full.
After being sorted out, this information was sent to Chen Xu.
With a large amount of language material, the mainframe intelligent computer successfully deciphered the language used by the underground humans. Limited to dialogue, there is too little text material to decipher it yet.
With the information at hand, Chen Xu finally had a general understanding of this somewhat mysterious underground world.
In the underground world, people like Clone who can carry parasites are called "God's Chosen Ones" and have an extremely high status. Whenever Clone encounters difficulties, he can solve them smoothly by showing his parasitic armor. Everyone respects him.
Because of this, even though the clone did not understand the underground language, it still managed to thrive.
It wasn't until the "Temple" received the news and sent people to investigate his identity that a conflict arose and the clone had to flee the underground world and return to the base.
From this, we can also see that the underground world's communication level is not very good. It took a full half year for the "Temple" to react. It was so slow that it was unimaginable.
The data showed that the underground world was extremely vast, and no one who had come into contact with the clones knew exactly how big it was.
However, due to underdeveloped transportation, the underground world is divided into pieces.
The kingdom currently underground is District 13. In name, it is ruled by the king, but the real ruler is actually the "Temple".
In poorer places, ordinary people live a very hard life. Most of the time, they can't even get enough food to eat.
According to what the clone saw, there was no agriculture in the underground world. There were almost no plants on the ground, the most common was moss, which was also inedible.
Where did the food come from? It was distributed by the "temple" and the institutions set up by the king. Of course, it was not free, and it had to be bought with a currency.
In other words, food is completely monopolized by the rulers.
This alone ensures the ruling foundation of the "Temple" and the king. No one can shake it.
As for how strong the military power of the underground world is, the clone did not find out. There has been no war in the underground world for a long time, so long that people have forgotten what war is like.
However, considering that the "Temple" can provide food for so many people, its technological level must not be too bad.
If it were a base, it could produce so much food and sustain it for a short time. But it would not last long. Fusion energy is not infinite. If the energy is exhausted, it will be dead.
Also, the parasite doesn't look like a natural product. It might be a man-made biological weapon.
If this is true, then the level of this civilization is far beyond the base.
Feng Song has been studying parasites for two or three years, but there are still many things he cannot explain about them, let alone creating one.
What happened in the first place that even such a powerful civilization had to hide in the underground world?
From this point of view, this planet is really not simple. This is just one of the underground human kingdoms.
Unfortunately, the clones don't understand language, which is a fatal flaw. They can't get in touch with the real top leaders and can't learn their secrets. They can only piece together some hearsay.
Chen Xu looked at the information and kept pondering in his mind.
"What are you looking at?" Luo Xiyun's voice suddenly sounded, startling him. Looking up, he saw that she had entered the control center without him knowing, holding a basket in her hand.
He asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Luo Xiyun raised the basket in his hand so that he could see it more clearly and said, "It's time to eat."
Chen Xu then remembered and said apologetically, "Oh, I forgot."
Luo Xiyun said, "Let's go out and eat."
Chen Xu followed her out and went to the study room next door.
After Luo Xiyun arranged the dishes, he asked, "Did something happen?"
"Didn't I tell you last time to treat this as a game and prepare to kill monsters and level up."
Luo Xiyun listened to him speaking easily, but he knew that things must not be that simple, otherwise, he would not even forget the meal time. This kind of thing rarely happened before.
"It tastes good. Your cooking skills have improved a lot." Chen Xu has already started eating. After tasting it, he praised it highly.
Luo Xiyun finally smiled, "If you like it, I will do it for you in the future."
"OK."
