"Oh." Su Yi nodded. He had begun to adapt to Yu Tu's behavior pattern in advance and took a puff of the cigar in his mouth: "That's 3000. If that's the case, then it's not bad."
"Shouldn't the usual guess be 30? Senior, your range is too wide!"
When Feng Tang heard about three thousand, he felt dizzy. It was impossible for him to make so many in just one day, even if he worked non-stop.
It's so outrageous.
Hearing this, Su Yi got angry: "Didn't you say you looked down on you? I looked up to you, but you couldn't handle it. Who can I blame?"
These remarks left Feng Tang speechless. He could only silently open the car window to let the smoke out and keep the air in the car fresh.
“So how much has been done?”
"There are 283 strange eyes... and several other polymers, which together make up just enough for 300." Feng Tang said in a low voice, holding his chin.
He was very familiar with the production process of the strange eye, so he did it quickly.
But more than 200 strange eyes were the limit of what she could control. Even if she made more, they would be useless. If she had not shared Su Yi's power, such a number would have been unimaginable in the past.
"That's about right..." Su Yi muttered in his heart, but he still said venomously: "So people should be humble in the future. If you really take out 3000, I might praise you."
"Humph--"
Feng Tang curled his lips somewhat unwillingly and did not answer.
Su Yi drove carefully to No. 3 Changqing Road where the heater was located.
It was noon.
The weather is very good today. The blue sky is cloudless and so clear that you can almost see the end of the universe when you look up.
The climate in Haidu is hot and humid. Even in January, the weather is very warm, not to mention that the winters are mild now, and the temperature outside has reached about 15 degrees.
Until they came to a fork in the road, Fengtang reached out and patted him on the shoulder, pointing the way to turn.
"Senior, we don't need to follow the navigation. We can take a shortcut. You can drive directly to the mall. There's an alley near the west gate that's just wide enough for cars to drive through. This way, we can avoid a long detour. You know the traffic in Haidu. If we get stuck in traffic, we might be delayed for several hours."
This is really meeting a local...
Although Su Yi has good driving skills and does not have a driver's license, he has not learned many traffic rules before, so it is indeed convenient to take a shortcut.
So he followed Fengtangdi's instructions and drove into the alley, which instantly reduced the driving time by more than half. It only took him about two hours to complete the journey, which the navigation showed was seven or eight hours.
Until a church-like building appeared in front of us.
"This place is more formal than I thought..."
Su Yi held a cigarette in his mouth, glanced around and sighed softly.
Just like the stove's clothing style, the entire orphanage has a Western medieval style, decorated with heavy and timeless marble like a church, combined with dark cedar doors, everything around is full of elegance.
The name of the orphanage is engraved on a bronze plaque and hung above the door lintel. The font is elegant and clear. From the outside, it looks like a very warm place.
According to the navigation, this place has been established for more than 70 years.
It makes people wonder whether it was the existing holy land organization or the orphanage that existed first, but it does not rule out the possibility that it later took over the old organization.
The two men drove in from the main gate of the orphanage with a serious attitude. When the security guard at the gate saw the car, he did not try to stop them. Instead, he opened the cedar gate and let them pass.
"Why are there so many people at the door today? What are they trying to do?" Su Yi found that there were people coming and going in the orphanage, and there were many cars parked there, and there was constant noise inside.
There were quite a few people walking around inside as if they were sightseeing. Most of them were pairs of men and women, ranging in age from 40 to over 20 years old, and they looked very happy.
"Senior, you have to run your business properly here! You have to do some superficial work at least. Today is Sunday, the day to receive visitors. Of course there are a lot of people coming here. After all, this is a very old orphanage."
Maple Sugar muttered softly as the two of them parked the car in the parking lot, closed the door, and walked into the orphanage.
The interior of the house is still decorated in the Middle Ages, but it seems to be air-conditioned, making people feel warm and comfortable.
As soon as Feng Tang entered the house, he was immediately discovered and surrounded by a group of children.
"Sister Maple Sugar! Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a few days. This is your favorite coffee-flavored lollipop. I've been saving it for several days, just waiting for you to come back!"
"Sister Maple Sugar, we've already practiced the nursery rhyme you taught us last time. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Sister Fengtang, why do you look so much more haggard than before? Are you too tired?"
Innocent voices lingered in the room, chattering non-stop. The youngest child was no more than five or six years old, and the oldest was no more than ten years old.
They were very excited and surrounded Fengtang. Some of them seemed to be playing too hard, and their dirty little hands left a small gray handprint on her pure white shirt with a light touch.
But the blonde girl didn't care or blame them. Instead, she reached out and touched each child's head, revealing a rare and extremely warm smile.
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do today and can't play with you. There are a lot of people visiting today, and there must be a lot of people who want to adopt children."
“Those who haven’t washed their hands must wash them thoroughly and keep themselves clean.”
"Don't forget what I taught you about being likable. Be polite, be obedient, and strive to qualify for adoption."
She spoke softly as she gave instructions to everyone present, and took out a tissue from her bosom to wipe the dust off the face of the child in front of her.
"Sister Maple Sugar, can you please not leave the orphanage...I can eat less."
"The world outside is so chaotic, only my sister is kind to us."
"I don't want to leave."
"I don't want to leave either."
The children spoke reluctantly, their eyes red as if they were about to cry.
However, these words were immediately rejected by Fengtang:
"No! Listen to your sister and find a foster family quickly. Being an orphan is not your destiny!"
As if she realized her words were too harsh, she quickly pinched the children's faces to comfort them.
"The world is big, and the orphanage is just a small place. As long as you live strong, you will definitely meet people who like you and people you like."
"Don't run away. If you run away, you'll have no candy to eat and no one to protect you. You must muster up the courage to face the rest of your life."
After saying that, Feng Tang stood up and said goodbye to all the children present, and walked side by side with Su Yi silently towards the back of the orphanage.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular..." Su Yi sighed softly.
When Feng Tang was in the special class, he tried to please the students around him because he had a mission goal, but no one knew what his purpose was in pleasing these kids.
Seeing his words, Fengtang smiled helplessly and bitterly:
"Senior, you should know what this place is. They are just not old enough to become awakened superpowers yet. Once they reach that age, they will be sent to the isolation room and forced to awaken their superpowers. There is no way of knowing how many people will die by then."
"The only way for these children to survive is to be adopted by someone else before they reach the age limit through their work as a hearth heater."
This was not the first time she had seen children who had been clinging to her being tortured to death by forced radiation exposure.
The only thing we can do is to teach them how to be liked and increase their chances of being adopted.
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked: "If you do this, will an organization like Nuanlu agree? Isn't this pushing people out..."
Speaking of this, Fengtang sighed:
"Seniors are indeed very experienced. Hey, because I helped those children find foster homes, my father punished me severely. It hurt so much that the biggest scar on my shoulder was left at that time."
Hearing this, Su Yi fell into a brief silence, and the two of them kept walking forward.
Until we arrived at the deepest room of the orphanage, which also looked like a reception room. A fireplace made of pure white marble appeared in the middle of the room.
While Feng Tang was looking for the mechanism, Su Yi recalled the scene of her curled up beside the vending machine, trembling and trying to endure the pain to heal her wounds, and couldn't help but ask.
"Why do so much for some kids who don't have anything to do with you?"
Hearing this, Fengtang's hand, which was about to touch the golden candlestick on the left side of the fireplace, paused. After a while, he replied:
"I don't know. It could be sympathy, or it could be trying to do something to maintain my humanity."
"The dream home will eventually be shattered. I have committed a grave sin and can die with the stove, but these children are innocent."
"The seniors will destroy this place, and then they'll have to find a new way out. Let's go now if we can. Even if we have to live on the streets, it's better than staying here."
Feng Tang had his back to him so his face couldn't be seen clearly, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Since coming to Nuanlu and being forced to separate from his mother, he has become no different from these orphans.
Click——
The golden candlestick was pressed down, and the white marble fireplace shattered into pieces at this moment. The rotating mechanisms of different magical worlds gradually spread to the surroundings.
A silver-white elevator slowly rose from below and came in front of the two people.
"Let's go, Senior. Oh no, the fish map. The real hearth is below."
"We should be more careful with our language."
Chapter 169 It's time to end everything (6k)
The elevator slowly descended, the sound of the hanging rope trembling was heard, and the walls around also shook slightly. As time passed, a cold air rushed in and gradually fermented on the skin.
Su Yi put one hand in his pocket, bent over and held the cigarette in his mouth, imitating Yu Tu. He looked like a ruffian and his face was extremely ferocious.
Based on the time it took the elevator to descend, the underground area of the heater was dug quite deep. The first floor alone was about 80 meters underground.
The underground space that follows may be even larger than imagined.
"Zi-"
The button on the elevator in front of me turned from red to green. There was no familiar jingle, but a messy electric sound, and the metal doors on both sides were slowly opened.
The scene before me was revealed. The layout inside was much better than I had imagined. It was carefully decorated, just like the orphanage's usual beauty.
In front of me was a long corridor with exaggerated reliefs and patterns carved on the walls on both sides. Apart from the elevator, there were no obviously modern elements. White candles were inserted in golden candlesticks, and the light did not sway at all, burning quietly.
Outside the door stood a guard wearing a classic medieval white robe and holding a gun. He was standing at the elevator entrance with a serious expression. His attire was very inconsistent with the weapon in his hand, giving people a weird feeling.
Seeing them coming down, he hurried forward to salute.
"Master Fishtu, oh, Master Maple Sugar is back too!"
Looking at the respectful attitude of the man in front of him, Su Yi imitated Yu Tu's living habits, without even looking at the other person, and arrogantly lit the cigarette in his hand.
He bent over and walked forward regardless, passing straight past the other person and walked out of the elevator door.
"Father sent a message earlier, saying that if you come back, please go to the 6th floor and await instructions. There will be new tasks to be assigned next." The guard added.
Feng Tang, who was half a body length slower than him, smiled and responded quietly, "Okay...thank you for your hard work."
The two walked straight forward.
According to Yutu's memory, the elevator can only help them reach the underground floor. The remaining floors can only be reached through tunnels and stairs. Some entrances to the next floor are even extremely hidden and difficult to find for people who are not familiar with the heater.
"Senior, don't go directly to the sixth floor. There's a default rule at the heating furnace. If my father has someone else deliver the assembly signal, those on missions outside must first complete their own tasks before going. If my father delivers the order directly, then drop all tasks and go immediately. This should be in the memory of the fish diagram..."
The blonde girl reminded him cautiously, lowering her voice very low to prevent outsiders from hearing.
"I know this. I checked my memory again before coming here."
Su Yi replied softly and nodded silently.
This time, Yutu is carrying out a mission under the pretext of going out to buy goods. Even if the mission fails, you have to report to the isolation room on the 3rd floor.
The two walked out into the corridor.
Coming towards you is the passage to the first floor and a small room with exquisite yellow wood carvings.
The two did not enter immediately, but walked around to the room first.
This is a dressing room.
According to the tradition of the stove, everyone here must wear medieval costumes and must not walk around randomly. This rule must be implemented before entering the first floor.
According to Yutu's memory, when he was extremely nervous, he didn't even dare to smoke a cigarette, for fear that the fallen ashes would damage his clothes or ceremonial attire, and he would be scolded by his father.
That's why I would only inhale intensely when I was outside or in the corridor to temporarily satisfy my craving.
The changing room is not big and is divided into men's and women's rooms, with only a thin light yellow curtain as a partition.
Each named superpower has his or her own separate wardrobe containing specially designed clothes.
Su Yi followed his memory and found the one that belonged to the fish picture. However, when he opened the wardrobe and looked at the fancy clothes and various decorations in front of him, he fell into deep thought.
I don’t know when these clothes were updated. They are completely different from what I remember. I have never even seen them before. I don’t even know what some of the accessories are for.
As an ordinary student, Su Yi wore school uniform to school every day. When he was in the wasteland, he wore a mess of exoskeletons and protective clothing, and he had no idea what the meaning of these clothes was.
After a long silence, Su Yi lifted the curtain helplessly and asked for help from the person next to him: "Feng Tang, how should I match these clothes..."
However, before he could finish his words, two cute little white rabbits came into view.
