Hungry dragon cubs come to the door

Lin Rusong fiddled with it for a long time but failed to open it.

He took a step back in frustration, crossed his hips and sighed: "Oh, I'm getting old, and my brain is not working well, so I can't remember just these four numbers."

Yu Yan asked: "Did you set it yourself?"

"No, Xiao Qiao set it up." Lin Rusong said, "Besides, he said it was related to you."

The answer was somewhat unexpected.

Yu Yan blinked: "It's related to me...is it a date?"

Lin Rusong said, "It's possible. Xiao Yu, when is your birthday?"

Yu Yan shook her head: "It's not my birthday."

He was an orphan and no one knows when he was born.

Such children are not uncommon in orphanages. Some children will regard the day they are taken in as their birthday, and some will follow the establishment date of the orphanage.

As for Yu Yan who was too lazy to remember the date, it was set on January [-]st.

Anyway, every year when the calendar is updated, he will grow one year older, as long as it is not too bad.

He has no family and no friends, and birthdays, such a lively event where everyone gathers together, have never had anything to do with him.

Lin Rusong paused for a moment before remembering why he said this: "Sorry, I forgot about you..."

Yu Yan smiled.

If he had to be sympathized with such insignificant things, there would be endless things he could get in his life.

Lin Rusong didn't pay too much attention to this topic, and then thought: "Could it be the first time you and Xiao Qiao met—do you remember when?"

"July 24." Yu Yan blurted out.

Not a holiday, not a holiday, just an ordinary summer day.

Since then, the fate of a child has been changed.

Lin Rusong pushed the roller into 0-7-2-4.

Unfortunately, it's still not true.

Although the ancient combination lock seems to be simple in structure, it also has a limited period.They only have one last chance left.

Lin Rusong's palms were sweating, and he complained, "It's just such a small box, yet it's such a hassle."

The way he mutters slightly is not like a 70-year-old officer, but more like an old child from an ordinary family.

Yu Yan comforted: "If there is no limit to the number of times, it would be bad for others to try it out."

If the things here are really that important, he believes that someone must be willing to try all the combinations.

Lin Rusong was not worried about this: "If it wasn't for you, me or Xiao Qiao to drive, the little guys inside would not agree."

This made Yu Yan even more curious.

He suddenly had a guess.

"You try 2-2-5-2." Yu Yan said.

Lin Rusong raised his eyebrows: "This is?"

"The first four digits of my student number."

Lin Rusong actually didn't think it would be such a simple and obvious code name that anyone could find out.

But the child has said so, he always has to try.

The combination lock clicks.

True enough.

Lin Rusong was greatly surprised: "How did you think of it?"

Yu Yan smiled: "When I entered school, the teacher took me to report and register. The last three numbers are 0. He said it was easy to remember, so he helped me register."

Lin Rusong: "..."

Well, old friend, you've always been off the beaten path.

But he still felt something was wrong: "Shouldn't the student number be assigned by AI?"

Hearing this, Yu Yan lowered his eyes: "It's actually controllable."

As small as the student number, as big as the graduation aspirations, the so-called AI...is just a human creation.

A piece of code, a parameter, can change its operation.

Everything is optional, changeable, and controllable.

Lin Rusong seemed to think of the same thing as him, and sighed deeply.

"Xiao Yu," he said, "some words are not suitable for me to say. I am a bad old man, and I don't want to preach. But..."

Yu Yan raised his head: "You say."

Lin Rusong frowned slightly: "Many times, we don't have the right to make our own choices. Life is helpless. But maybe... everyone is the same."

These words are too ambiguous, and there is still sadness that cannot be resolved.

"Everyone is the same," Mr. Lin said.

As the previous and previous commanders with the same fate, Yu Yan couldn't even tell whether Lin Lao's words were comforting him or enlightening himself.

He wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a burst of crying.

Yu Yan suddenly looked at the source of the sound, the box seemed to be pushed open by something, revealing a little... fluffy white edge?

Lin Rusong slapped his forehead: "Hey, look at me, I almost forgot to talk about life with you. Hurry up, take it out."

Yu Yan opened the lid, and a ball of fluff immediately jumped into his arms, crying: "Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! Wow!"

Although Yu Yan didn't understand a single word, but I can guess it: it must be complaining why it took me so long to let myself out, why are you chatting so happily, can you think about Mao first when you chat? What a feeling!

Lin Rusong laughed instead: "Sorry, I forgot about you."

Ning Ning buried her face in Yu Yan's arms with tears in her eyes.

Yu Yan combed its fur softly with his fingers, he hadn't seen it for a few months, and he really missed the soft feel a little bit.

...He suddenly thought of another hard little guy.

I don't know how the little dragon cub is doing now.

In the first minute, he called "wife wife" sweetly, but in the next minute, he was mercilessly left in the forest.

Although it is stronger than any wild beast, it is not up to weak humans to worry about it, but Yu Yan always...

Ning Ning suddenly raised her face and looked at him.

There were still sparkling tears in the transparent eyes, which seemed to see through his psychological activities.

Thinking of the absurd title of Little Milk Dragon, Yu Yan felt a little embarrassed for some reason, turned his eyes, and asked Mr. Lin: "Is it Ningning that the teacher asked you to bring me?"

After Lin Rusong reacted, he realized that the "Ning Ning" he was talking about was Qiao Cho's "Xiaobai": "Yes, he asked me to send this little guy back to you, and give it to you to take care of him when he's not around. "

"Please rest assured, I will." Yu Yan pursed her lips, "Can I know what the teacher is up to recently? He hasn't responded to my messages."

Mentioning this, Lin Rusong's face darkened: "I don't know, he didn't tell me the specific things. But I know, he went to the Second Empire."

"The Second Empire?" Yu Yan was keenly aware of something, "Is... related to 'him'?"

Lin Rusong was a little surprised.

In fact, this matter was tightly sealed, and the rumors he heard were all very private internal information.

Nuo'e star was originally closed, and Yu Yan didn't seem like someone who cared about gossip every day, how could he know?

Yu Yan saw Elder Lin's doubts, and explained: "It's just my guess. The teacher mentioned to me before that he was worried about 'his' trip."

Lin Rusong nodded, and then sighed deeply: "This is a top-secret incident, Qiao Jian didn't tell me more, but I guess...it's about that."

Yu Yan took a small breath.

It turned out to be... true.

Xue Tuanzi obediently stayed in Yu Yan's arms, watching the two humans play charades curiously.

Lin Rusong glanced at the little guy: "It's getting late, kid, go to bed early. Take me to see your monitoring equipment for Dragon Cave tomorrow, huh?"

Yu Yan knew that this was a sign to terminate the conversation, so he saluted: "Yes, sir."

The next day.

If there are no special circumstances, Yu Yan's biological clock is very accurate, with an error of no more than 5 minutes.

But he woke up 10 minutes earlier this morning.

Ning Ning was sleeping soundly on top of his head, and she could still hear small snores when she listened carefully.

The little milk dragon was always like this before, and could change seven or eight positions and postures in one night. In comparison, Xuetuanzi was much more obedient than it.

So it won't be woken up by Ningning.

Yu Yan was stunned for a while, and Huang Yangmin's loud bluffing voice came from nearby: "How can your body do it!"

He froze for a moment, only to realize that the window was left open last night.

And Huang Yangmin and Lin Rusong were standing not far outside his room talking.

Yu Yan hurriedly changed her clothes, raised her index finger to "shh" at Mao Qiuqiu who was awakened by him, and went out to have a look.

Lin Rusong saw him get up: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, did I disturb your sleep?"

Yu Yan shook his head: "I'm just about to get up."

Lin Rusong sighed loudly: "That's just right, Xiao Yu, come here, tell me about Lao Huang, he won't let me go!"

Yu Yan: "?"

Huang Yangmin also seemed aggrieved: "Mr. Yu, you judge, you said that the colonel is so old——"

Lin Rusong interrupted: "How old am I?"

"Okay, let's not talk about your age. Let's talk about your health, right? You have just been discharged from the hospital, and you want to hike into the forest - you know how tiring it is! How dangerous it is!"

Lin Rusong took Yu Yan's shoulder: "Isn't your best commander accompanying me here?"

Both eyes shot at Yu Yan at the same time.

Yu Yan hesitated for a moment. Yesterday, when Elder Lin said he wanted to see the instrument for monitoring the giant dragon, he didn't think much about it. Today, Huang Yangmin yelled so much that he realized it belatedly. Elder Lin is seventy years old. The teacher who seemed to live forever was different, he was a real old man who had just been discharged from intensive care not long ago; these young, healthy ordinary soldiers couldn't do it, how could he guarantee the safety of Lin Lao?

Seeing that even Yu Yan was persuaded, Lin Rusong became anxious: "Well, let's not go on foot, and drive the patrol spaceship to the vicinity. If I'm in good condition, I'll go down for a walk. Have a look and come back, how about?"

As an officer and an elder at the same time, his tone could even be regarded as begging.

Yu Yan felt a little surprised at the colonel's persistence.

If Mr. Lin had to go there even at the risk of his life, then there were only two possibilities: he had something to show him, or... had something to say alone.

Either way, you must leave the base and stay away from the crowd.

After Yu Yan had this kind of guess, he took out the decision of the officer: "Just do what the colonel said, you go and get someone to prepare the spaceship."

The latter sentence was addressed to Huang Yangmin.

Huang Yangmin knew that the new commander would either not make up his mind, or he would not change it, so he had to compromise: "Okay, then I will let the medical team..."

"No, I will be responsible for the colonel's safety."

Huang Yangmin sighed: "Okay, let me tell you about the medicine that the colonel always keeps, and some allergic reactions..."

One person explained carefully, and the other concentrated on recording.

On the contrary, the parties watched the show with ease like an outsider: "Xiao Huang, who looks at the big and the big and the thick, actually has a thinner heart than anyone else."

Huang Yangmin snorted: "Stop teasing me, if you really want to praise me, please listen to my advice next time!"

Lin Rusong smiled and shook his head.

After the spaceship landed on a gentle place near the center of the forest, Elder Lin still chose to walk.

Considering the physical condition of the elderly, they walked very slowly, as if walking aimlessly.

When approaching the hinterland, Lin Rusong took out the instrument that Yu Yan had never seen before, the latter thought, his guess was right, of course it was impossible for them to go to the hinterland of the forest just for a walk and a chat .

It was a small metal box with a ostentatious totem like a spider in the middle, which seemed to be able to rotate.

Lin Rusong unscrewed the "spider" and took out a pair of... glasses.

"Put it on," said the colonel.

After Yu Yan took it, the colonel pressed a button in the center of the box, and the originally cold metal suddenly glowed.

Yu Yan’s wrist phone was originally on navigation, but suddenly beeped an alarm. Before putting on his glasses, he took out the navigator and took a look. Although the magnetic field in the hinterland has always been messed up, it has never been as chaotic as today, and the pointer almost went berserk. .

It's not exactly running around, but it seems to be... echoing, or responding to something.

Yu Yan looked at the brand-new, never-before-seen box, and put on his glasses.

He adjusted and opened his eyes.

The isolation of the filter makes the world a deep red, and everything is blurred.

"Look below." Lin Rusong reminded.

Yu Yan did as he said, looking down at his feet.

He was shocked.

What he saw was neither overgrown vegetation, nor soil, rock, or any of the usual geological features he had ever seen.

It, or rather they, were all black.

Like a large-scale ocean, it spreads under the entire surface, and the location is very deep, at least hundreds of meters, or even more.

Yu Yan had read the original ecological oil of the old era in the book before, which was somewhat similar to this, but it was different; unlike the viscous liquid of oil, they were completely solid, densely stacked together, like ore, but It is also more peculiar than any kind of ore.

Obviously sleeping in the dark and deep underground, it actually shone like a star, at first glance it seemed to be sparkling, very beautiful.

Before Yu Yan recovered from the magnificent scene in front of him, Lin Rusong asked: "That direction is the Dragon Cave you monitored, right?"

Lin Rusong manipulated the box, and the exact coordinates were displayed on Yu Yan's glasses.

It is indeed the Dragon Cave.

Now, it is not only the Dragon Cave, but also the place where these black oceans are most concentrated and concentrated.

Yu Yan took off his glasses, and the world returned to its original lush green appearance.

It seems that everything I saw just now was just an illusion.

Lin Rusong took it over, put it on, looked at it, and exclaimed, "It's still so beautiful..."

Yu Yan slowed down and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Rusong said: "That's why I have to take a look with you alone today. It is also another thing that your teacher entrusted me to give you besides that little guy."

He handed the glasses together with the spider box to Yu Yan's hands.

The old man's eyes became distant: "Whether it is on Nuo's star or within the entire empire, this is still a secret so far. Those black things with golden light are unique to Nuo's star. Minerals - we call it 'black diamonds'."

The author has something to say:

The teacher rushed to the Second Empire to deal with the matter, you can find the answer in the copywriting of Little Phoenix
