Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 398: Fragment: No Dreams for Five Hundred Years (Ten)

Seeing that everyone else was heading to the newly established breeding center to leave their genetic information, Ji Liangbo also wanted to go, and planned to take Su Sheng with him.

"I don't want to use offspring to maintain our relationship." Su Sheng looked at his closed apprentice in confusion, trying to refuse the request.

"Teacher, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant." Ji Liangbo repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists, not daring to look Su Sheng in the eye, and tried to defend himself. "It's not because I like you that I want to have a child with you. It's just that everyone has been running to the breeding center recently, and I thought, if I want to have a child of my own, and the other half of this child's genes must come from another person, I hope that person is you."

She wanted to continue inviting Su Sheng, but a hand blocked her words before she could say them. She had been patient for a long time for the day of confession, but she had to have a chance to say it, and Su Sheng didn't intend to let her speak.

Su Sheng already had someone in his heart, and Ji Liangbo knew it all along. She just couldn't stop thinking about it. She couldn't bear to be rescued from the dangerous beast tide and carefully nurtured by someone without thinking about that person every day, and without having any extra feelings for that person. When she was young, Su Sheng often stayed by her bedside to tell her stories like a relative, and gave her a goodnight kiss like the mother in her mouth. Every story was a real event that Su Sheng picked up from the universe. Su Sheng just couldn't remember his own name, but he still knew the stories of others. The young Ji Liangbo would listen to every story carefully until he couldn't bear the tiredness and fell asleep.

Later, when the child grew up, Su Sheng no longer kissed her or told her those magical bedtime stories. She could only imagine that Su Sheng still gave her a warm kiss on the forehead every night. Unconsciously, she turned to silently chanting Su Sheng's name every night to comfort herself.

Su Sheng stopped her from continuing, and she suddenly became silent, turned around and ran away.

The teacher is a cheapskate! A cheapskate! A cheapskate!

Twenty years have changed her a lot, but some things remain the same.

She was running alone, the streets were a slightly gloomy black and gray, the sky was also a little gray, and a drop of water fell from time to time.

"The teacher is a stingy person! I won't talk to you anymore!" The almost 30-year-old woman is still like a 9-year-old child. She calls others stingy if they don't meet her requirements. But one day she will figure it out, go home, and forgive that person.

She heard Si Bai and Fu Qingyuan talking in the front, and she subconsciously slowed down her footsteps, fearing that she would disturb them and no longer be able to hear their discussion.

"...Qingyuan, what do you think? Should we put Junior Sister's genetic information into the gene bank?"

"This isn't a good idea, but I think we're almost forgetting about her. If doing this can help us remember our original goal, then maybe it's not impossible?"

"Yes... twenty years, it's only twenty years. In twenty years, we have become a family, and in twenty years, a generation of people has become gray-haired. In five hundred years, how many people will be turned into graves?"

"Sister Lele, I just understand now that time can really dilute everything. If I'm not careful, my longing for Cangzhao will almost deteriorate. Five hundred years - we can live through five hundred years, but only twenty years have passed, why do I feel it's so hard to endure?"

"It's okay, we still have plenty of time."

"You're right, Sister Lele. I'm just a little scared. I'm afraid that when the day comes when our Junior Sister comes, we won't recognize her anymore, or we won't have the chance to meet her. I have to keep telling myself that we built this card city together, all for the purpose of waiting for someone. I don't want to..."

There was the sound of lips meeting each other from the other end of the corridor.

Ji Liangbo could hear his heart pounding in his chest.

It turns out the rumors were true.

They led everyone to build this extremely strong steel city, and it turned out that it was all for the purpose of finding someone.

Is that person special? How special?

By the way, would Su Sheng know? Yes, she knew it a long time ago. The person in Su Sheng's heart was the one Si Bai and the others were looking for.

I heard that person will not appear here until five hundred years later, and Fu Qingyuan also said that it would be difficult for them to stick to their original intentions during these five hundred years.

So how about letting someone else help them maintain this original intention?

Ji Liangbo thought she could.

Her love for the city and everyone in it far outweighed her own little thoughts, prompting Ji Liangbo to turn around and run back along the same route she came from. Sure enough, Su Sheng was still waiting for her.

"Teacher." As soon as he saw Su Sheng's tall and thin figure from afar, Ji Liangbo couldn't help but call out.

Su Sheng said nothing, staring into her eyes, which made her feel uneasy. But this time she would not look away, and would not run away again.

This time, it was Su Sheng who took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Liang Bo, I need an anchor." Su Sheng seemed to have made some kind of determination, but it was not firm, hoping to use something to push himself forward, "Are you willing... to be my anchor?"

To be honest, Ji Liangbo doesn't understand what an anchor point is.

As long as Su Sheng is willing, she will do it. Anyway, it is impossible to harm the interests of the city.

On the way to the nursery, no one held anyone's hand; they just held hands and walked side by side.

If Ji Liangbo were asked to choose the source of the other half of his offspring's genes, it would definitely be Su Sheng.

She didn't realize it at first, and the same was true for Su Sheng. The person who let Su Sheng choose the source of the other half of his offspring's genes must also be Ji Liangbo.

There is no other reason except that they have adapted to each other during their twenty years of living together, and can no longer live without the other. They cannot allow a third person to intrude upon their tacit understanding.

The person in charge of artificial breeding said that because the device was developed not long ago, it is still imitating the human body's gestation cycle. Perhaps after updating, the breeding cycle will be extended.

This is not their focus. People can develop however they want as long as it does not harm the city.

Recently, there have been other things that have given Su Sheng a headache.

In the past twenty years, Ji Liangbo has set up his own intelligence network in the city. At this moment, he learned through the intelligence network that someone was suspected of not having a complete connection with the outside world and brought the seeds of fairy papyrus to the outside world.

The taking out of the fairy papyrus not only meant that a brand new plant flowed into the outside world, but also that the outside world began to make and use cards.

Cards are far more convenient and powerful than the traditional and primitive way of using power in the outside world. Anyone who has tasted the sweetness will not want to give it up easily. Therefore, even if the quality of the cards made is not as good as the card city that has established a system long ago, the outside world is obviously more willing to use cards.

Su Sheng was worried that this would make another branch of humanity too powerful.
