【Summer Five】Iron City Wall

VI-Spring Return

80

The operation of the New Deal is the busiest time for the Parliament.Wujo did not attend any meetings under the name of "the old nobleman pondered behind closed doors", and transferred his voting rights to Lord Uglevedon, claiming that Andersia's opinion was his own.

Fortunately, Andre will complain at most, and will follow up the agenda honestly.No matter how bad it is, the supervisory department who will assign people to observe and supervise at any time will also be present. If there is any big news at that time, it can be directly transmitted to the five ears through Qihai or Huiyuan.

As for the key Wutiao himself—he vowed to let the parliament engrave his name on the monument one second, and disappeared in the next second, together with a certain automation professor who took annual leave at the state university.

"Xianwu?" The voice in the receiver was blown to pieces by the wind, Xia You covered the receiver and asked again loudly, "Mr. Andersia, what can you do?"

There is endless plain white in front of you, the grassland and the sky run side by side, both of which are covered with frost and snow.The sun was stronger, and the raised gray-black rock formations above the land were tanned brightly. The cattle and sheep were grazing slowly, and the ice slag and snow melted all over their mouths.Unlike summer, pastures in winter are particularly windy.Whenever the air creases, people subconsciously wrap their underwear and turn their faces away from the direct blowing—otherwise the harsh and harsh airflow will instantly freeze the moisture on the entire face.

On the other end of the phone, Andre cleared his throat and said, "Dr. Reka came to my office in a hurry today, saying that there is something I have to report to you—it seems to be related to some serum, I don't know. In short, although he didn't say it was urgent, it seemed that there was no delay, so you should come back as soon as possible."

After talking about the business, he changed his tone, and Xia You could imagine the blond young man suddenly relaxed, "How are you doing, are you satisfied?"

Xia You looked forward, and found the man who was almost integrated with the snow field in the dark pile of sheep.Hearing the scolding in the wind, he said to Andre: "It's very good, I guess Wu doesn't want to go back at all. Anyway, you can handle it, why don't you help us deal with it for a while?"

"Forgive me, if this continues, you will see a bald Lord Uglevedon." Andre sighed, "In short, I brought it, and it's up to you when you come back."

"Got it, thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Xia You went to Wutiao to rescue him from the flock. "Andre called and said that Reka had something to report about the serum." Wujo helped his hand to stand firm, patted the curled wool off the scarf, and said, "Call if you want to report, I have to go back ?”

Xia You picked up the long whip and whipped the ground near the sheep quickly and accurately, causing the sleepy clouds to step up.While driving the sheep back, he answered Wutiao's question, "I think I really want you to go back. Otherwise, after working so hard for so long, Andre wouldn't always call you to ask questions. "

The sheep snarled and trotted back, five of them jumped down without warning, and hugged the fattest one by the middle.Perhaps it was fooled by the cold wind, but the sheep didn't struggle at all. It only moved its hooves symbolically at the moment it was embraced, and let the five goats bury their faces in the fluff contentedly, half dragging and half hugging and rolling a few times.

Really can't see this man committing crimes, Xia You stepped forward and dragged him up, and the five strips were transferred to him very naturally, with long arms and long legs tied him tightly as if he didn't know how to put it.He opened his baby blue eyes and said "I'm not going back", his silver hair was covered with snow, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

The fourth district has the heating conditions second only to the first and second districts in the iron city wall, because the livelihood here is animal husbandry. If too many animals freeze to death in winter, it is not only the first district that will suffer.In the past, this authority was often tampered with by the officials in charge of the three districts of the House of Lords, so there were not many benefits that actually fell on the head; it was not until Wutiao officially became the head of the house ten years ago that he pushed the heads of the three districts to implement this indicator.

Therefore, although the winter in District [-] is still cold, it is much better than District [-], which cannot stay on the surface.

A river-like village gradually appeared in the field of vision, and the flock of sheep ran happily into the pen, but was driven into the nest by a man in his forties, and the door was firmly locked.Wutiao and Xia You walked into the yurt one after the other, and Cai Xiale just came in with hot milk tea, and happily asked the two to help try the drink.

"It's a new breed of sheep." The hostess said enthusiastically, "Wu Enqi has been asking for it all year, so I'll bring it to you to taste first." As he spoke, Wu Tiao was already holding a bowl and gulping it down, straight to the point. After drinking a bowl, he sighed "delicious!" and urged Xia You to taste it too.

Cai Xi Yale clapped his hands together in surprise and smiled, Xia You couldn't resist Wu Tiao, so he took a few sips from the bowl and sincerely said "delicious".Their stomachs were warmed up here, and Wu Enqi, who had settled the sheep, opened the tent and came in. When he saw the empty bowl in front of Wutiao, he was wronged immediately, and said, "You actually hid it and didn't tell me!"

Cai Xial, who was complained by her husband, covered her lips and laughed loudly, her voice flew out of the yurt, and happily went straight into the sky.She poured out the third bowl, stretched out her arms to protect the bowl amidst Wu Enqi's long-sighted instructions, and yelled, "Mo Zhigen, come to bully your elder brother!"

Within 5 minutes, the curtain of the yurt opened.The young man in a wheelchair came to the table nimbly, greeted Xia You and Wutiao, and then took a bowl of milk tea and drank it down.Wu Enqi sat down angrily, watching his good brother greet each other with the two young people, the feigned anger disappeared completely.

At first when they heard that the two were coming as guests, Wu Enqi and Cai Xiyal were both surprised and delighted.They immediately set about tidying up the yurt, so that the two lovers on the road could enjoy a homely experience—even though Xia You never boasted about her relationship with Wujo, the eyes of the masses are always sharp.

In this way, they stayed away from all kinds of storms in the area, and embarked on a journey of whatever they wanted.

"In a few days, it's almost time for us to leave." Seeing that the master's house has arrived, Xia You took the opportunity to say, "Wu has something urgent to deal with in the first district, and we have to leave in two days at most."

After finally seeing each other, Wu Enqi and Cai Xiyal were naturally reluctant in every possible way, but they couldn't say anything to persuade them to stay.No matter how late the news from the four districts was, they also understood how important these two talented young men probably played in today's turbulent social situation, and they were definitely not ordinary people to stay.

Seeing their nostalgic faces, Mo Zhigen persuaded: "Anyway, you can come anytime, and it's not like you won't be able to see them. When the military headquarters is on vacation, you are welcome to visit the two towns."

"Thank you." Wutiao said, playing with a strand of black hair scattered by Xiayou, "I don't know if we have to wait until the year of the monkey...how come the work is still piled up after a new group of people?"

The remaining four couldn't help but laugh.Xia You patted him on the shoulder and said, "The important officials are elected by the people in each district. Of course they can handle the affairs under their own jurisdiction, but once the entire iron city wall is involved... I'm afraid we still need you."

The firewood crackled, and the cold wind howled outside the window.Wutiao was just complaining, so he simply put his head on Xia You's lap, turned over, folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Go back, go back, you have to let me rest for a while."

So everyone couldn't help but shrugged their shoulders and turned around to laugh secretly.

Four days later, Reka Institute.

The water vapor in the experimental vessel surged, and the emerald green extract was placed in it, sealed by five layers of isolation, and did not come into contact with the air.All the people who entered and exited the laboratory were wearing full protective clothing, and the goggles were soaked with sweat and covered with a layer of white mist from time to time.

"The serum was successful, and the indicators of Corporal Polygonum cuspidatum returned to the normal value within half an hour." Reka pointed at the control panel, "But we precipitated a concentrated solution—like a product of natural metabolism, but its properties are the same as those of a hundred years ago The banned samples were very different."

They turned their heads in unison and looked at the fully armed and restrained extract, as if the sample, which was no higher than the little finger, was a hydrogen bomb that could blow up the laboratory to pieces at any time.

Wu Tiaozhi pointed to the traditional protective clothing on his body and asked, "Is there any radiation level? Why should the laboratory be isolated?"

"This is the remedy...that's why I insisted on you coming back." Reka said solemnly, his eyes were tight behind the mask, and beads of sweat rolled down from time to time, "Just as the serum was taking effect, an outpost sent a message. An emergency contact, directly to the highest officer of Night Owl. Fortunately, you handed over all these contact points to us before your vacation, otherwise you may not be able to respond in time."

The sound of bubbles gushing upwards made people upset. "Get to the point." Wu Tiao said, "The outposts have always been in charge of extraterritorial investigations, and it's definitely not a good thing for them to send emergency contacts in one direction."

Seemingly frightened, Reka hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "That's right. The message said that the outposts detected a large-scale gathering signal, and the index is expected to reach S-level tomorrow afternoon."

a bolt from the blue.It took Wujo half a second to understand the meaning of this sentence, and another half a second to put away the momentary shaking, and patted Reka on the shoulder, "I understand, thanks to your timely contact."

Seeing him so calm, Reka's cloudy face finally dissipated a little, but he could still detect the tremor in his voice when he listened carefully.

"I... I haven't told anyone the news yet, and I'm waiting for you to come back and give me a letter. There must be a reason for the S-level gathering. I think of the characteristics of the two-faced Nuo, the one that will attract them, and quickly put the extract Seal it up, and make all the researchers wear protective clothing under the guise of an exercise..." He swallowed, his face turned gray, as if he couldn't continue.

Wujo exhaled slowly, "I understand, there is no need to say more. You are doing the right thing. I will report this information to the military department and help keep it secret."

"Yes." Reka calmed down a lot as if he had found his backbone, "There is also Corporal Knotweed. I was worried that the kid would think too much if he found out, so I didn't say anything to him."

The lights in the laboratory were brightly lit, and the two looked at each other in blank dismay, both silent.

After a long while, Wujo stepped out and said to Reka again: "You've done a good job. Don't worry too much. I'm in charge of everything. The research institute just needs to keep the status quo."

Outside the door, Xia You was standing against the wall, holding a book in his hand.Seeing that Wutiao came out of the triple disinfecting room after removing his protective clothing, he closed his book and went up to meet him, seeing the anxiety in the other party's calmness at a glance.

"What's the matter?" He immediately sensed the rusty smell of the wind and rain, gently held the five hands hanging by his sides, and asked in a low voice, "The serum is fine—is it the same as fantasy to make you anxious? Kind of related?"

Ten fingers clasped together, and the five took a deep breath, drawing great warmth from the palms that were touching.He was also as stable as Reka, and while walking out quickly, he explained concisely: "The outpost detected an S-level gathering of phantom species. The last time a gathering phenomenon of this scale appeared was..."

"The second interspecies war." Xia You answered, clasping his hand even tighter, "Do you suspect it is the characteristic of the two-faced Nuo extract?"

The door of the laboratory opened, and the bright streets of the second district came into view.Wutiao stepped into it, ordered the AI ​​to drive to the designated place to pick up the person, and then said: "It's not sure yet, but if the situation gets worse..."

He paused.

"The iron city wall will have to face real war."
