After a long time, I finally picked a double-layer fruit cake filled with peaches and strawberries.

"It's so big, the two of us can't finish it." Although Tang Li said so, she still bought the cake.

"I've never had a birthday," Xiao Chu tugged at the corner of her clothes, her eyes were watery. "The doctor said that eating cakes and blowing out candles are all meaningless activities."

Tang Li chuckled, and said casually, "Birthdays are really meaningless, but they can be used as an excuse to eat cake."

Xiao Chu nodded seriously: "I think so too."

The light in the room was turned off, two candles were burning quietly, one was "ten" and the other was "eight", the faint light flickered and reflected in those dark eyes.

Tang Li sang the happy birthday song. She beat some beats with her hands, slowly, and her singing voice was beautiful: "Chi Si, I wish you a happy birthday."

The candle melted and a drop of wax trickled down.

Some are like tears.

Xiao Chu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and made a wish.In fact, she doesn't believe that the so-called "prayer" can make her wish come true, she just thinks it is more interesting to do so.

"Have you made a good wish?" Tang Li's voice came, with a smile on her face, "The candles will be blown out next."

Xiao Chu took a deep breath, and then blew it all out.

After the soft sound of "huh", the two candles were blown out, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. In this dark environment, Xiao Chu was suddenly a little scared.

"Sister... sister? Where are you?"

Xiao Chu was a little flustered, and stretched out her hand tentatively: "Are you still there?"

The hand was held, and Rou Rou was in the palm of his hand. Tang Li didn't have much strength, but he held her very tightly, very tightly.

The temperature rushed over from the fingertips, warm and hot, carrying her breath, which made people feel at ease for no reason.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tang Li comforted, and then squeezed Xiao Chu a little bit, her voice was steady and calm: "I won't leave you."

Xiao Chu's nose was sore, she grabbed Tang Li to prevent him from getting up to turn on the light, groped in the dark, and hugged Tang Li's waist.

"Sister," Xiao Chu muffled in her arms, his voice became thinner and weaker, "I'm sorry, we lied to you."

Tang Li stroked her long hair and patted Xiao Chu's head: "It's okay, you don't need to apologize to me, we just need to restart the cycle."

She murmured, as if she was speaking to Xiao Chu, but also to herself: "Everything will be fine, everything will be fine."

Lie or truth, it doesn't matter anymore. .

Because Xiao Chu said that he was going to visit the ruins of the No. 7 Research Institute, the two set off early in the morning. Tang Li studied the map and planned to go directly diagonally and take a diagonal line.

However, when approaching the corner where No. 5 and No. 7 intersect, Xiao Chu, who had been holding his backpack tightly in the back seat, suddenly said: "Sister, drive to the left immediately."

left?Isn't that area 8?

Tang Li was taken aback for a moment, but her body reacted faster than her thoughts. She turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the car quickly crossed the border and drove straight into the gray-black [No. 8 Garbled Code Area].

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The moment he entered the border, there was a sudden burst of sharp electric sound in his ears, rushing into the tympanic membrane in disorder, causing pain between the eyebrows.

Tang Li frowned, and the sound of the electric current soon disappeared. At the same time, the system screen went dark, displaying the words [Connection Interrupted].

"What's going on here? Lost connection?"

Tang Li was startled, and looked back, only to see Xiao Chu nodded to her and said, "Sister, look at the sky."

In an instant, a towering wall was erected around the entire No. 8 area, separating them from other areas.

And in the square gray "sky", several blood-red numbers were displayed:

[Countdown: 4096 seconds]

The countdown counted down seconds, and Tang Li realized something in an instant. She stepped on the accelerator and flew towards the center of area 8.

Xiao Chu didn't have to hide it any more, and poured out all of Chu Chisi's plans. Tang Li listened and nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Tang Li's voice was steady, "Let's hurry up, modify the cutting nodes, and blow up the entire area of ​​No. 8."

She always seems to be.

Always calm and powerful, calm and composed.

Area No. 8 looks huge, but it is actually just an optical illusion given by the "blindfolded thing". They arrived at the center within 5 minutes.

Tang Li opened the car door and was slightly taken aback.

In the gray mist, there stood two completely different buildings. More than a dozen sentry towers were built on the wall. The red light penetrated the mist and patrolled the surroundings in a certain order.

Xiao Chu hugged her little jellyfish and jumped out of the car.

Strangely, Tang Lizheng kept silent, letting his long brown-blonde hair be scattered by the wind, and looked at the two buildings in a daze.

"... Chisi... I actually..."

Tang Li's voice was so soft, like a whisper, softly scattered in the wind: "Actually, I'm not as strong as you think."

The blond hair was scattered in the noisy wind like this, chaotic and messy, like fine sand flowing from the palm of her hand, covering a little of her expression.

Tang Li lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her wrist.

The corner of the clothes was suddenly pulled by someone, Xiao Chuyi came over a little, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Li's voice was hoarse: "It's okay."

Xiao Chu looked back at the two buildings, then turned to look at Tang Li.She looked a little puzzled: "Sister, I don't recognize this place, do you know this place?"

"Of course I recognize it."

Tang Li smiled. She knelt down in front of Xiao Chu, took Xiao Chu's hand, and introduced them one by one:

"The circular building on the right is the North Alliance Academy of Sciences; and the rectangular building on the left is the North Alliance Armed Forces. This is where the two of us usually work."

"In reality, due to various reasons and considerations, the two buildings are actually far apart, about two or three hours' drive away."

Although Tang Li was still smiling, her eye sockets were a little red, which indistinctly surged up: "And in the mirror..."

"Chi Si, you put them together."
