Chapter 112



The early morning sunlight poured into the house through the window and fell on Alpha's face. He frowned and turned his head away to try to avoid it, but he still couldn't escape the light.

Fu Tianhe felt around, but there was no one beside him and even the warmth of the bed had faded away.

A few minutes later, Fu Tianhe rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the house, and saw Chen Ci sitting on the edge of the platform. The boy's feet were hanging in the air, and he was looking at the morning sun rising from the sea level through the gap in the railing.

Even the deep blue sea surface was dyed bright by the sunlight. Amid the sparkling waves, several seabirds were flying in the sky. During these days when humans had never set foot on the sea, the exploration platform became their place to rest.

Fu Tianhe walked forward, sat next to Chen Ci, and dangled his feet in the air like him.

Thirty meters below is the deep sea. The sea is truly a magical existence. When it is calm, it is very gentle, as broad and tolerant as a mother's embrace. When it is turbulent, it instantly turns into a terrifying beast, roaring, as if it wants to devour any creature that accidentally enters.

Fu Tianhe looked at the rising sun and said softly, "It's so beautiful."

It's not just the scenery in front of them, but also the peaceful and tranquil life like in a paradise. The two of them are isolated from the world on a detection platform in the vast ocean, with each other as company, and a dog named Da Congming.

In a few days, Fu Tianhe repaired some necessary infrastructure on the platform. Machines will pump the seawater below and purify it so that they can take a bath. Not only will it generate hydroelectric power, but solar panels can also be used when the weather is good.

Except for the slightly simpler conditions, it is almost the same as life on Beacon.

The two watched the sunrise side by side. Chen Ci stood up first and said, "Let's go have breakfast."

As usual, Fu Tianhe was in charge of cooking. He first poured dog food for Da Congming, and then cooked food for the two of them.

Fu Tianhe prepared the food that Chen Ci brought in his backpack, and he himself had to eat military rations. Before he opened the bag, Chen Ci snatched the bag from his hand.

Fu Tianhe: “Hey!”

The Alpha tried to take it back, but the Omega dodged it cleverly.

Fu Tianhe eats these things every day. After a few days of observation, Chen Ci realized that the base should have been abandoned for thirty or forty years. Even if the shelf life of military rations is very long, the food left in the base is not edible now.

Chen Ci quickly found the production date. He stared at the long-ago numbers for ten seconds, raised his head, and asked Fu Tianhe across from him, "It's been overdue for twenty years. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Fu Tianhe: "These things are generally edible as long as they are not swollen. We don't have enough food with us."

Chen Ci: "..."

"Stop eating. I don't want you to escape from the mouth of the original creature with great difficulty, but end up getting food poisoning again."

General Chen Ci collected the military rations and placed them where Fu Tianhe couldn't reach them. He then took out a can of food from his bag, opened it and handed it to Alpha.

Chen Ci had already opened it, and Fu Tianhe couldn't put it back. Seeing this, Alpha had no choice but to eat it.

But Fu Tianhe was right, they really didn’t have much food left.

Fu Tianhe couldn't help but worry about the days ahead. After the storm, the two of them would recuperate on the platform, but their supplies were limited, not enough to last a few more days. They had to find a way out before the food ran out.

However, September remained quite calm from beginning to end. Every day, the boy would sit on the platform leisurely, daydreaming or quietly looking at the scenery.

Whenever Fu Tianhe saw September's peaceful and calm look, he couldn't bear to tell him about his current situation. It seemed that the Omega really liked this kind of life away from the hustle and bustle. In that case, he would try to hold on for two more days.

He was unaware of all these clichés, as his entire attention was always on other things. Fortunately, he discovered it now, and it’s not too late.

After breakfast, Fu Tianhe packed up his things and checked to see if Da Congming had urinated anywhere. Chen Ci went out again and stood on the platform.

The detection platform is not protected by a gel layer like the top of the beacon. The strong ultraviolet rays are directly exposed to it. If you stand in the sun for a while, you can feel the burning pain on your skin.

Chen Ci stepped back a little and waited for more than an hour before finally hearing the sound of an approaching aircraft.

Fu Tianhe, who was repairing something inside, heard the noise and walked to the door. When he saw the flying vehicle coming, he was startled for a moment, then overjoyed.

After the signal base station was repaired, Fu Tianhe wanted to ask for help, but was stopped by Chen Ci.

Chen Ci did not explain the reason, but firmly expressed his desire to stay on the platform for the time being.

Thinking that it would be okay to stay here for a few more days, Fu Tianhe agreed. Since there was a signal base station, they could call for help at any time. It would be wonderful for them to enjoy their own world for now.

Now seeing the aircraft coming, Fu Tianhe thought that Chen Ci had finally had enough fun and wanted to go back.

The aircraft determined the location of the detection platform, circled above it for several times, lowered its altitude, and dropped two packages.

Chen Ci walked out of the building, covering his forehead with one hand and waving the other hand at the aircraft a few times, his expression calm.

The aircraft received the signal, turned around, and started back along the same route it came.

Wait a minute! Is this a special airdrop for them?

Fu Tianhe turned his head to look at Chen Ci, his eyes filled with unconcealed surprise.

It is actually very simple to ask for help from the beacon. As long as the signal can be received, the authorities will definitely come to rescue them out of humanitarian reasons.

But the delivery of supplies is different. This is a blatantly private act. In today's world where all kinds of resources are in short supply, those who can afford to dispatch aircraft to deliver supplies over long distances must be either rich or noble.

It should be September’s Alpha friend named Vicha. He is a famous spendthrift in the game, and he must be very powerful in real life.

"Fu Tianhe." Chen Ci's voice interrupted my thoughts, "Come and move it."

Fu Tianhe hurriedly moved the two boxes of airdrops into the house. He used a knife to open the cartons. One box contained daily necessities, and the other was filled with a variety of foods.

After Chen Ci discovered that the military rations had expired, he immediately sent a message to Chen Nian for help. It took only more than an hour from the time he sent the message to the time the supplies were delivered. It seemed that Chen Nian and Shafley had already prepared these things for him.

There were even Omega and Alpha injectable inhibitors thoughtfully placed inside. Obviously, Chen Nian still remembered the temporary mark that Fu Tianhe gave to Chen Ci.

Fu Tianhe found some dog food and canned food, and immediately opened a can for Da Congming, asking him to eat it first.

The two were rummaging through the supplies in the box when suddenly, Fu Tianhe's hand paused. A few seconds later, he hesitantly took out a box of condoms and Alpha oral contraceptive pills from the deepest part.

Fu Tianhe:?

Chen Ci:?

Fu Tianhe was holding the condom when he suddenly realized something and quickly threw it back into the box.

Chen Ci didn't expect to see this thing among the supplies. Was it Chen Nian's work or Shafley's?

It should be Chen Nian.

Faced with the awkward situation, this time he did not remain silent as usual, and rarely explained: "It has many other uses."

"Yeah, that's right." Fu Tianhe continued, "It can be used as a temporary tourniquet, water reservoir, float, waterproof cover, combustion aid, and there are many times when it can be used."

Alpha pushed away the messy thoughts in his mind and hypnotized himself. As for the box of birth control pills, maybe the person who prepared the supplies was careless and put it in the wrong place.

Fu Tianhe raised his head and glanced secretly at Chen Ci. There was still his temporary mark on the Omega's white neck. The two of them slept in the same bed at night these days. Perhaps it was the mark that made Jiu Yue instinctively want to get close to him. Sometimes Jiu Yue would roll into his arms unconsciously in her sleep.

Fu Tianhe always felt dazed. He had left a temporary mark on the young boy, and now he was hugging him, but he dared not do anything.

Ignoring those two things, other supplies are also very necessary. Now the urgent problem has been solved. If September can continue to arrange airdrops, they can even live on the platform forever.

How long does Jiu Yue want to stay here? Fu Tianhe doesn't know.

After sorting out the supplies, the last of Fu Tianhe's doubts disappeared.

To be honest, life on the platform is a bit boring. Even if the base station and transmitter are repaired, the signal is still very poor. At most, you can only send out text messages, and even pictures take a long time to load.

In the days when there is a lack of entertainment, the people around you become so important.

At noon, the sun rain began to fall again. Chen Ci stood under the eaves of the building. He stretched out his hand to catch the thin raindrops, and soon a small puddle of water formed in his palm.

Fu Tianhe's voice came: "Jiuyue, do you know the Principality of Xilan?"

Chen Ci: "A private country established on two fortresses at the English Channel thousands of years ago?"

Fu Tianhe hummed, and then continued: "According to this logic, can we also establish a country?"

Unexpected possibilities arise.

"It's not impossible. The area of ​​the detection platform is about the same as the so-called Principality of Sealand." Chen Ci thought about it seriously and looked back at Fu Tianhe, "But we don't have anyone."

"Aren't there just two of us? That's enough." Fu Tianhe's voice contained a smile. He came to Chen Ci and motioned him to go to the rooftop.

Since he was free anyway, Chen Ci followed Fu Tianhe's idea and climbed up the stairs to the top of the building. The rain fell on his hair and shoulders, leaving faint wet marks.

Fu Tianhe walked quickly to a concrete pier and spread plastic sheeting on it: "Come, sit here."

Chen Ci sat on the plastic sheeting on the stone pier.

Fu Tianhe then went downstairs. Chen Ci had no idea what he was up to, so he just waited there obediently.

Two minutes later, Fu Tianhe appeared on the roof again. He was holding a water pipe in his hand and holding Da Congming in his arms, with a childlike excitement on his face.

"We are about to establish our own country. What is a good name for it?"

Chen Ci didn't expect him to be serious, but seeing how happy Fu Tianhe was, he simply followed Alpha's words and said, "Um... Moon Rain?"

They were going up to the moonlight, and now it was raining in the sun.

"Okay, let's use this name."

Fu Tianhe cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I declare that the Moon Rain Principality is officially established, and now I will crown King Jiuyue."

Fu Tianhe held the hat in both hands as a crown, walked up to Chen Ci and put it on his head.

The brim of the hat pressed down on the soft black hair. Fu Tianhe used his fingertips to gently push away the strand of hair that slightly blocked his vision, and tidy up Chen Ci's appearance.

Then he turned around and picked up the water pipe, saying, "The Moon Rain Scepter symbolizes the king's supreme power."

Chen Ci took the water pipe with both hands. Its surface was smooth, obviously having just been polished by Fu Tianhe.

This is not the end.

Fu Tianhe took out another ring from his pocket.

He said solemnly: "This is a sacred ring that represents the king's status."

Under Chen Ci's gaze, Fu Tianhe knelt on one knee, holding a ring in his hand. He looked serious, and there seemed to be some kind of semi-fluid in the iris of his golden artificial eye, which reminded Chen Ci of egg yolk that could give birth to a new life.

The rain fell on his shoulders and wet his coat.

Chen Ci extended his hand.

Fu Tianhe took that hand reverently, put the ring on the index finger of Chen Ci's left hand, and gently pushed it to the base of the finger.

Chen Ci lowered his eyes and looked at it. This was a ring woven from discarded electric wires, with red and blue soft wires interwoven, and the shape was quite cool.

The worthless piece of scrap was turned into a coronation ring for the king in Fu Tianhe's hands.

He became a king on the sea far away from the beacon. His territory only had an abandoned detection platform, and Fu Tianhe was his only subject.

Oh, and he has a dog.

Chen Ci suddenly felt something strange.

He inherited his father's title as the Elector of Cinnabar, but from childhood to adulthood, he had never enjoyed the privileges that came with this status, as if everyone had forgotten about it.

They called him the Crown Princess or the Young Master of the Chen Family, which were titles given to him by others, as if Chen Ci had no value of his own.

But at this moment, he became a king on a platform that had long been abandoned.

It seems like it’s not bad to play house with Fu Tianhe.

Chen Ci held the water pipe scepter, wore a beret and a crown, and sat upright on a stone pier. The sun and rain fell on his shoulders. He ordered:

"Fu Tianhe, from now on, I appoint you as the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the Moon Rain Principality, responsible for assisting the king and managing supplies."

Chen Ci looked at Da Congming again. The beagle had no idea what was going on. It sat beside Fu Tianhe's legs, quietly and obediently resting with its tongue sticking out.

"Great Wisdom, I appoint you as the Minister of Defense of Moon Rain Principality. From now on, you must protect the king and the prime minister."

Before this, Chen Ci would never have thought that he would one day do such a childish thing.

...a little silly, but surprisingly not offensive.

After the coronation and canonization ceremony ended, Fu Tianhe smiled foolishly: "Come on, Your Majesty, let's go back to the house."

The two climbed down the stairs, their clothes were a little wet, but it was not a big deal.

Fu Tianhe continued to work, his every move was full of energy. He was always so lively and energetic. Although Chen Ci couldn't empathize with him, every time he was with him, he always felt as if he had gained a little more strength.

If you count carefully, they have stayed on the Huanhai Platform for four days.

It's time to take the next step.

"Fu Tianhe." Chen Ci called him, "Let's leave in the afternoon."

"Where are we going?" Fu Tianhe raised his head. "Are we going to take a rubber boat? Is that dangerous?"

Chen Ci shook his head and said, "I never told you that I can attract primordial creatures."

"What?"

The confession came so unexpectedly that Fu Tianhe was stunned.

He instantly recalled the whole process of the two of them leaving the cruise ship with alarm bells ringing, being involved in the battlefield of primitive creatures, and drifting to the platform in a kayak.

At that time, Jiu Yue said that the original creature was coming for him, but Fu Tianhe could not understand the meaning. He questioned Jiu Yue, but the only answer he got was silence.

And now September finally told him the reason, a reason that Fu Tianhe could not understand.

Primordial creatures are attracted to metal parts, mechanical cores, and the smell of blood. As for individual humans, are they also attracted to them? Fu Tianhe has never heard of it. Primordial creatures' hunting of humans seems to have always been incidental.

But his intuition told Fu Tianhe that Jiu Yue was telling the truth. The boy never lied, and when faced with something he wanted to hide, he would at most remain silent.

Fu Tianhe put down his work and came to Chen Ci. He sat on the bed and asked softly, "Can you explain it to me in detail?"

"Remember the time we rescued Matchstick from the mouth of the original squid on the beach in the abandoned suburbs? The next morning we went to search for its remains. The squid was still alive. I put my hand on it and heard the squid's voice."

"He's asking me for help."

"I couldn't understand it at the time and ultimately chose to ignore it."

Fu Tianhe clearly remembered that Jiuyue used her mental power to detect that the mechanical core of the original squid was in the heart. He couldn't find the heart, so Jiuyue took the crowbar from her hand and picked out the still beating dirty device.

It turns out that before that, Jiu Yue had heard the squirrel's cry for help?

Fu Tianhe suddenly felt a little chilly down his spine.

Chen Ci paused, and then continued, "Since then, I have been thinking about this question and have done some other experiments. Later, I confirmed that I can indeed hear the voices of the original creatures, and they are also looking for me."

Fu Tianhe exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "That is to say, you suddenly jumped off the cruise ship a few days ago because you knew that the original creatures were looking for you."

Chen Ci shook his head: "Not really. From the moment I boarded the ship, I wrapped myself in mental power. Since the conversation between the original creature and me was completed through mental power, this method should have a certain effect."

"So nothing happened until the past three days. As for why those two primitive creatures came here, I'm not sure. Maybe there are other reasons."

"During that time, I have been using my mental power to detect a large area. If anything unusual happens, I can jump off the ship immediately and leave without affecting other passengers."

so it is.

Fu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he loves September very much, he still cannot accept that the boy is gambling with the lives of all the passengers on the cruise ship. Fortunately, this did not happen. Instead, September used his own characteristics to attract the original creatures away and protect everyone.

Fu Tianhe: "Why would the original creature look for you?"

Chen Ci: "I don't know either, but they probably don't mean to hurt me, they just want to take me away."

Fu Tianhe took a few seconds to digest it. Every word Jiu Yue said was shocking, and all the mysteries along the way disappeared.

"I'm happy that you're willing to trust me." Jiu Yue suddenly told him this, there must be other reasons, so Fu Tianhe asked directly: "So what is your plan?"

"I plan to continue the journey. The kayak is too small and not stable enough to drift on the sea. If we encounter an accident, we can only leave it to fate. If we want to leave, we need a more stable means of transportation."

"I have been searching for a suitable target these days, and it appeared in my mental field yesterday morning."

Fu Tianhe: "It?"

Chen Ci nodded, stood up and motioned Fu Tianhe to follow.

Fu Tianhe walked out of the building with him. The rain was still falling, and the cool raindrops fell on the tips of their hair.

At this moment, in front of Alpha, the calm sea surface suddenly began to wave.

The dark shell surface emerged from the water, and the sea water flowed along the arc, like an island rising.

Suddenly the waves surged, white foam rolled up, and hit the platform base, showing colorful colors under the sunlight, and finally burst one after another.

Fu Tianhe subconsciously stretched out his hand in front of Chen Ci and protected him behind him. The Alpha was tense with vigilance. He instinctively realized the danger, as if the sword of Damocles was hanging over his head, getting closer and closer as the creature floated up.

In a blink of an eye, the exposed part was as large as four football fields, and that was not all.

Countless hard thorn-like objects grew on its ancient back, like a cluster of hard bone flowers. It was not until the head with large brown scales emerged from the water that Fu Tianhe finally caught a glimpse of the creature's true appearance.

It is an extremely large giant sea turtle.

Chen Ci's words echoed in Fu Tianhe's ears. His voice was calm and quiet, but extremely shocking:

"Since I can hear the words of the original creatures, it means that I can also drive them and use them for my own benefit."

Fu Tianhe lost his ability to speak for a while.

Their new means of transportation... is actually a giant primordial sea turtle? !

You have to know that the relationship between primitive creatures and humans is one of life and death. It takes great courage and a strong imagination to make such a bold decision!

"After I found it, I have been using my mental power to communicate with it. Compared to the red leeches and the breams I encountered before, this sea turtle has a gentler personality. It never showed any strong hostility from beginning to end, and even asked me for help."

Chen Ci looked at Fu Tianhe: "Of course, I'm not asking you to go with me. If you think it's dangerous, we can think of other ways."

Fu Tianhe stared at the sea turtle closely. Its muzzle was completely mechanized, and the metal shone coldly in the sunlight. Its forelimbs were transformed into heavy weapons, and they looked very lethal.

There were some parasites clinging to the sea turtle's huge wild shell, but it did not attack the detection platform right away like the ordinary primitive creatures.

Besides, its shape wasn't very scary. Fu Tianhe remembered that there were little turtles sold in the market when he was a child.

"Well, a long ocean voyage on a turtle sounds like a good idea."

Fu Tianhe looked at Chen Ci with a smile on his face, no longer so vigilant: "I just don't know where this buddy is willing to take us."
