Not only did he meet September again after leaving for a week, he also went to her house, met up with September's friends, and played games together. Now it was late at night, and Omega invited him to stay overnight at his house.

Each of these things would have made Fu Tianhe happy for a long time, but now they were happening one after another without his knowledge, and he was a little confused.

September's various behaviors seemed to indicate a certain attitude, but Fu Tianhe didn't dare to really think about it, because Omega always exuded a subtle frankness and ignorance.

How to say it, Fu Tianhe knew that Jiuyue was definitely not that kind of innocent little white flower who knew nothing, but any behavior of the boy was definitely not out of love.

Although he was extremely excited, Fu Tianhe felt sleepy by two o'clock and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The dream came quietly, perhaps because he had just played the game before going to bed, he dreamed of a fierce war, a certain biochemical virus was rampant, people were fleeing everywhere, and the infected creatures mutated into terrible monsters.

The alien knocked the refugee to the ground, extended its terrifying mouthparts from its mouth, pierced directly into the soft neck, and greedily sucked the blood.

He held the weapon tightly and dragged the boy towards a safe place. Chaos and screams filled every corner. From beginning to end, Fu Tianhe had only one thought in his mind: he must protect Jiuyue.

But the corrupt blue color began to spread from his fingertips, turning him into the same monster. At first Fu Tianhe tried his best to hide it, but was soon discovered by the sharp-eyed boy.

Jiu Yue took out the little remaining blood plasma and life-saving antibodies from the bag, pierced the sharp needle into the swollen blood vessels, and injected the medicine, but he was unable to truly stop the mutation. At the last moment, he pushed the boy away with all his strength and stumbled into the endless darkness alone.

Just a person like this, rotting in a corner.

"Fu Tianhe?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, pulling my consciousness back to the real world. All of a sudden, all the sadness and grandeur of a last-ditch effort quickly faded away. There were no rotten and swollen arms or bulging blood vessels, nor were there the boy's panicked look or tears in his eyes.

The Omega stood in front of the sofa, looking down at him, a hint of confusion in his amber eyes.

"…Nothing, I just had a nightmare."

Fu Tianhe raised his hand and rubbed his temples. After just a few seconds, he could no longer remember the specific content of his dream. Only a slight sense of sadness and pain had not completely dissipated, as the last remnant of the dream.

Fu Tianhe rubbed his temple with the back of his hand and realized that he was actually crying.

...No wonder Jiu Yue came to ask him in such confusion.

Fu Tianhe was a little confused about what was happening to him. Although it was a nightmare, it shouldn't be this serious. He was already in his twenties.

It should be a happy thing to be able to see September as soon as I open my eyes.

Chen Ci said "Oh" softly, believing what Fu Tianhe said that everything was fine. They both slept very late yesterday, and it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

The base postponed his physical examination, but Chen Ci still couldn't delay for too long. He asked Fu Tianhe: "Do you have anything else to do recently?"

Fu Tianhe sat up from the sofa: "No, I have been staying at home to study chimeras, and I have almost figured out the specific usage."

Chen Ci: "I have to go out again next."

Without Chen Ci asking, Fu Tianhe took the initiative to answer: "I'll go with you."

Chen Ci: "Do you know where I'm going?"

"Isn't it just the moonlight?" Fu Tianhe smiled. "Although I have told you many times that reaching the moonlight is difficult and almost impossible, I know you definitely don't want to give up."

Chen Ci nodded and was silent for a few seconds. "I know it's difficult to get a flying vehicle to go there, so I plan to take a boat. All civilian routes to Moonlight are closed. We can only find a way to leave from the area closest to it, so we have to get to Sanshui first."

The moment he heard Sanshui, Fu Tianhe was stunned.

Severe pain, screams, slaps that fell along with tears, flames rising to the sky and the smell of ashes, and sneers and mockery in the bright hall.

But that abnormal expression only appeared for a moment and was quickly covered up.

Fu Tianhe frowned: "Do we have to take a boat to get there? In fact, we can also take a flight. The flights between the two beacons are very convenient, and now we have money."

Chen Ci: "I want to see more of the scenery at sea."

Fu Tianhe: "But it will be very dangerous."

Chen Ci: "Don't we have chimeras? Primitive creatures have occupied the ocean for hundreds of years, and sea travel has not been completely banned until now. The small probability of an accident may not necessarily happen to us."

As someone who had been on a long ocean voyage, Fu Tianhe knew that what Jiu Yue said was right. He had been on the ship many times and nothing serious had ever happened.

"Well, if you want to, it's not impossible." Fu Tianhe paused, "When do you plan to leave?"

"tomorrow."

Fu Tianhe had long been accustomed to Chen Ci's style of doing things. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's pack our luggage and buy some supplies today."

"Well, go wash up, I'll go out to buy something later."

Fu Tianhe uttered a sigh, he threw back the quilt and was about to get up, but suddenly he discovered something incredible.

Alpha pulled the quilt over himself with a whoosh, covering himself up completely, and laughed dryly, "Well...you go do your work first, I'll be up soon."

Chen Ci:?

He vaguely realized something, glanced at the covered area of ​​Fu Tianhe, and stood up, "I'll go get something to eat for Da Congming."

Fu Tianhe noticed Chen Ci's wandering gaze, and he froze to his core.

Because he felt like he was getting harder.

What are you doing! Get down! Get down quickly!!!

Fu Tianhe screamed in his heart, what a pity, if that part could be so obedient, there would be a lot less trouble in the world.

Chen Ci went into the kitchen. Fu Tianhe lifted the quilt and looked down. He couldn't help but flicked his little brother. In his shame and anger, he didn't control the strength and grimaced in pain.

...What a sin!

The pain indeed drove away other thoughts. Fu Tianhe got up stealthily, hunched over, and curled up inward, and ran to wash up.

It took Fu Tianhe more than ten minutes to calm down. When he came out of the bathroom, Chen Ci was sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Chen Ci didn't ask anything, and said to Fu Tianhe as if he knew nothing, "Let's go."

This is also one of the things Fu Tianhe likes about Chen Ci, young people are always very sensible.

The two of them went out to buy things together, and took Da Congming with them to help him solve some physiological problems. Chen Ci had the money given by Shafley, so he could buy whatever he wanted, and Fu Tianhe was no longer as poor as before.

They bought a lot of supplies. In addition to the necessary food, Chen Ci specially bought many necessities for survival in the wild. If Fu Tianhe hadn't known that they were going to Sanshui by boat, he would have thought that they were actually going to row across on a small raft.

But it’s better to prepare more. In case the winners of the jackpot encounter an accident on the way, these things can help them survive.

Carrying large and small bags of things, they returned to Chen Ci's house. Chen Ci sorted the supplies and packed them up. Fu Tianhe half-knelt beside him and asked, "Do we have to go to Sanshui?"

"All ports in Greenland are closed and there is no direct route to Moonlight."

Chen Ci raised his head. He thought of the day when he registered at the hotel. He happened to see Fu Tianhe's hometown was on the top floor of Sanshui. He asked, "Don't you want to go to Sanshui?"

Fu Tianhe scratched his head: "Not really. It's just that can we settle down in Lanluan? Although it's a bit far from Lanluan to Yueguang, it's actually not much different from the distance from Sanshui to Yueguang, and it can also save the time from Chensha to Sanshui."

"Although the distance is not much different, it still takes two days of sailing. Especially since Greenland has been blocked, we need to find a way to stay as close to it as possible."

All these statements had been considered in advance. During the week at the top, he listed all possible itineraries for analysis and comparison, and finally concluded that going to Moonlight via Sanshui was the most suitable route.

Chen Ci asked directly: "You don't really want to go to Sanshui?"

"..." Fu Tianhe hesitated, "I don't really want to go."

Chen Ci: "You came from Sanshui, right?"

Fu Tianhe fell silent immediately.

Chen Ci: "I don't know what happened to you, and I won't ask too much. If you don't want to go, there's no need to force yourself."

Fu Tianhe's expression became nervous: "No, it's okay with me. I just suggested another route for you. Of course, we still have to go together."

Chen Ci looked at Fu Tianhe for two seconds, hummed lightly, and lowered his head to pack his things again, but what he was thinking about in his mind was the embarrassed expression that flashed across Fu Tianhe's face.

Did he just say something wrong? To Fu Tianhe, maybe there was something else behind those words? But he was just stating his own thoughts. Fu Tianhe didn't have to go if he didn't want to. He wasn't forcing Alpha to go with him, and he wouldn't get angry about it.

Chen Ci didn't understand at all, but he realized that he might have hurt Fu Tianhe just now.

He pursed his lips, unable to explain what the strange feeling that suddenly emerged in his heart was.

Since Chen Ci didn't mention it, Fu Tianhe just stayed at home with a shameless face. He helped Chen Ci pack the luggage needed for tomorrow's trip, two big bags in total.

Afterwards, the two of them worked together to give Da Congming a bath in the bathroom. As expected of a dog breed known as the big-eared stink donkey, Da Congming was particularly prone to producing odor.

Fortunately, compared to ordinary beagles, Da Congming is particularly obedient due to his past experiences, and he has not engaged in any disturbing behavior such as crazy house demolition and barking.

"Shake it off." Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci stood at the bathroom door and said to Da Congming, "Shake the water off the fur."

Da Congming had only been rescued for a short time and had not received any professional training, so he could hardly understand what was said. He just looked up at them, dripping wet, and looked a bit pitiful.

"Forget it." Fu Tianhe gave up the struggle. He took a towel and went over to wipe Da Congming's hair. Chen Ci prepared the hair dryer.

Washing a dog is also a very tiring task. After blowing all of Da Congming's hair dry, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe sat on the sofa and booked a boat ticket to Sanshui.

It was getting late, and Fu Tianhe didn't seem to have any suitable reason to stay in Chen Ci's house. He stood up and said, "I'll go back and pack some clothes. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning, and then we'll go directly to the port."

"good."

"Then we'll see you tomorrow morning. I'll stay here with you first."

Chen Ci sent Fu Tianhe to the door, and Fu Tianhe waved his hand: "Hurry up and have a rest. You've been busy all day, and you need to be alert tonight."

Chen Ci stood at the door, listening to Alpha's footsteps becoming lighter and lighter as he went up the stairs, echoing in the corridor. Finally, the sound of going down the stairs disappeared, and Fu Tianhe walked out of the unit.

Chen Ci closed the door and sat back on the sofa.

He sent a message to Chen Nian: [Fu Tianhe and I will set out early tomorrow morning.]

Chen Nian quickly replied: [Ah, so fast, which port? ]

[Port No. 6, 10am ship.]

Chen Nian: [Okay, you should be careful and remember to report your safety at all times. Dacongming, do you want to go with you too?]

Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe also discussed this issue. He could actually give the dog to Chen Nian to raise. After all, his brother was now on the top floor, and it would be easy for him to raise a pet. But in the end, they decided to take the dog with them.

Chen Ci: [Yes, Dacongming is with us too. ]

Chen Nian: [You must be careful. Just the two of you are worrying enough, and now you have to take care of a dog as well.]

Chen Ci: [I know, with the chip there shouldn't be any big problems. How about you, how are you doing today?]

Chen Nian: [It was pretty good, but I played too late yesterday and I was almost sleepy to death in class this morning.]

Chen Ci and Chen Nian were chatting, and Da Congming lay obediently at his feet. The night gradually fell, covering the entire cinnabar. Has the Huanhai Platform been attacked by primitive creatures recently? Chen Ci did not ask. No matter what the situation on the sea was, he had decided to take the boat.

It's not just for the so-called adventure.

Rather than the thrill of an adrenaline rush, he wanted to have an experiment.

Conduct an experiment using yourself as the sample.

Chen Ci slept surprisingly well that night.

The next morning, Fu Tianhe came to find Chen Ci. The two of them carried their bags and took Da Congming to the port.

The port is located in the coastal area, in the opposite direction of the abandoned suburbs. Port No. 6 is located in the east of Cinnabar. It is completely enveloped by the morning sunshine, and the sea breeze blows slowly, bringing a salty and humid air.

Although it is not the safest way to travel, there are still many people who take the boat. After all, not everyone can afford expensive air tickets. Moreover, the routes that still exist are those that have been proven safe for more than a decade. Just like in the past, so many people died in car accidents every day, but people did not give up driving.

Chen Ci looked up and saw the quarantine station located above the condensation layer from afar. The solid walls formed an isolation zone, and its interior was covered with purple crystals that even spread to the pipes above.

Fu Tianhe was carrying a bag, immersed in the excitement of the upcoming trip. He looked at the sea and gently nudged Chen Ci with his elbow: "Let's go."

Chen Ci retracted his gaze, followed Fu Tianhe and boarded the ship.

They boarded the ship an hour and a half in advance, found their cabins, and put down their luggage.

Now that Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe were not short of money, they bought a first-class cabin, which had a spacious room and floor-to-ceiling windows perfect for viewing the scenery.

Fu Tianhe exclaimed in surprise as soon as he entered the room.

He had indeed been on a long voyage before, but he was relatively poor at that time and could only stay in the worst second-class cabin. The room was cramped, with only a small bed and walls on all four sides. Not to mention the view, even the ventilation was not smooth.

Fu Tianhe sat on the bed, feeling the comfort of the big bed, then got up with satisfaction and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the sparkling sea. He really felt like he was on vacation.

I heard Chen Ci say from behind: "Don't take out the things in your bag casually. Try to keep them as they are."

Fu Tianhe exclaimed: "Aren't you going to take it out and use it?"

“Put it back immediately after use.”

Fu Tianhe didn't understand why, but he still agreed obediently: "Okay."

Chen Ci: "What about the chimera?"

"Keep it with you." Fu Tianhe raised his hand and touched his chest. His coat had an inner pocket with one chimera inside, and the others were also kept in secret pockets on his body.

They snatched a total of eight chimeras from Donald. Fu Tianhe took four and Chen Ci took four, and they kept them all close to them.

It was Chen Ci who proposed that the chimera be carried on the person. Although Fu Tianhe had some doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions. He just listened to and did as Jiu Yue said. Anyway, she would not harm him.

Da Congming had just arrived in the new environment. After turning around, he barked twice. Fu Tianhe took out a diaper from his bag and laid it on the bed. Then he saw the diaper run over, squat on it and poop.

Fu Tianhe threw it away with a urine pad and patted the smart dog's head: "Look at you, we two not only take care of ourselves, but also have to pick up your shit, why can't you use the toilet yourself?"

Chen Ci looked around the room carefully and said, "I'll go out for a walk."

Fu Tianhe turned around quickly: "I'll go with you."

Chen Ci walked in the cabin. It was a large passenger ship with a swimming pool on the deck. The game room and restaurant were also very large, offering hundreds of kinds of drinks and food.

The passenger ship belongs to the largest shipping company today and is equipped with a full set of defensive fortifications, enough to withstand the level 3 attack of primitive creatures. The safety factor is extremely high. Only two accidents have occurred in the past five years, and both were minor incidents with minor damage.

Of course, the boat ticket is not cheap.

Chen Ci was not very interested in the various amusement facilities. He walked through the cabin, from the negative fourth to the upper ninth, and explored every level in detail as long as it was a place where entry was allowed.

He silently memorized the locations of all the emergency passages and life-saving facilities, and used his mental power to penetrate the door to find out the specific conditions inside.

Seeing that he was paying attention to these things, Fu Tianhe thought that Chen Ci was worried about something happening on the way, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, this ship is the safest one so far. The protection system is very strong and ordinary primitive creatures can't shake it at all."

Chen Ci didn't say anything. He continued to walk forward. After a few minutes, he suddenly said, "Fu Tianhe."

"Um?"

Chen Ci looked at the Alpha beside him and said, "No matter what happens, are you willing to be with me?"

This is a sentence that is more suitable to appear in a wedding hall. Chen Ci tilted his head slightly, his expression still calm, but Fu Tianhe knew that the boy might be secretly expecting his answer.

He said without hesitation: "Of course, I am willing to do so."

Chen Ci nodded and continued walking forward.

It was time to get on board, and there were many people coming and going. They roughly checked everything out and then returned to their rooms, sitting on the bed to rest.

"Already on board." Chen Ci sent a message to Chen Nian and took a photo of the room to show him.

Fu Tianhe lazily lay on the bed enjoying life. Chen Ci took four bottles of drinking water and put them on the table. Seeing this, Fu Tianhe said, "It's not like we don't have drinks. Why prepare so many?"

"Just in case." Chen Ci said as he pinned the water to the side of his backpack.

Even though Fu Tianhe trusted Chen Ci, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Jiu Yue seemed to have become particularly vigilant since she got on the boat. Could it be that... something bad was going to happen?

Chen Ci was not idle yet. He asked the sailors on the boat for two life jackets and an air pump on the grounds that he could not swim. He even asked for a dog float for Da Congming.

All the supplies were neatly placed by the window in the room. Fu Tianhe put his arms behind his back and frowned: "September?"

"Why."

"Is there something you didn't tell me?"

Chen Ci stood up. He stood in front of the French window, his back facing the vast sea. The sunlight cast a golden edge on his body. "Yes, the ship hasn't left yet. If you feel uneasy, you can leave at any time."

"It's like this again." This time Fu Tianhe finally couldn't help but complain, "Just now in the cabin I clearly promised you that I would stay with you no matter what happens, but now you want to chase me away for no reason."

Chen Ci didn't know how to tell Fu Tianhe that the fact that he could attract primitive creatures was a secret and must remain a secret.

At this time, the whistle emits a long and melodious sound, which reaches everyone's ears, and the ship is about to set sail.

Chen Ci lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, take a rest."

Under Fu Tianhe's gaze, the young man sat down beside the bed, bent over, took off his shoes and socks, and lay on the bed.

Now the two of them were lying on each side of the bed. Fortunately, the bed was big enough for two more people to fit in between.

September was obviously worried.

But he was unwilling to say it.

Fu Tianhe looked at Chen Ci steadily for a while, then lay down again. The first day of the trip should have been a happy day, and he didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and after a few minutes they felt a shake and the boat started moving.

Now even if Fu Tianhe wanted to leave, he couldn't, but he had no intention of leaving Jiuyue alone.

Within a radius of fifty kilometers around Cinnabar, there are many ocean-surrounding platforms that serve as a line of defense to protect primitive creatures. Only after sailing out of the platform area can one truly enter the sea outside of human jurisdiction.

Each route was explored after countless trials and tribulations. It bypasses all areas where primitive creatures live in large numbers and is relatively safer.

The passengers put down their bags and went to the deck to experience the amusement facilities or to look around curiously. It was very lively for a while. Fu Tianhe stood up and pulled the curtains to prevent anyone from peeping.

Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe's rooms are on the first floor, and they can even open the floor-to-ceiling windows and walk directly onto the deck through the windows.

I bought the boat ticket in September, and it just happened to be on the first floor.
