Atomic Girl? Please salute the commander!

Under the reflection of the crimson light, the pale yellow stamens are so bright that people's eyes can't help but start to blur.

"I remember there was a rock here where I could sit. Hey! I found it. It's right under that tree."

Mu Xiaowei skipped to a sycamore tree, gently patted the smooth big stone next to it, and smiled as if indicating that he could sit here too.

This place is quite remote and few people come here.

They discovered it when they were wandering around as children, and it has the characteristics of a secret base.

Su Yi walked over, sat on the stone, supported his cheek with one hand, and stared at the wild chrysanthemums around him, gradually becoming lost in thought.

An unknown amount of time passed, as if it was frozen at this moment. Everything around him fell into silence. Mu Xiaowei was confused, but did not disturb him. She just sat beside him and waited quietly.

Su Yi looked up at the mountain flowers in front of him. Mu Xiaowei held her chin and looked at his face quietly. Neither of them spoke to each other.

Until the sunset is about to fall, the sky gradually begins to lose its color, light and darkness intertwine, and only the afterglow of the sunset remains. The day comes to an end and reaches the dividing line with the night.

"This is the first time I know you like flowers. These wild chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere. I think they are the most I have ever seen."

Mu Xiaowei held her chin and spoke slowly. She had never seen Su Yi look at something so seriously.

In the past, my childhood sweetheart always thought that flowers were something only girls liked and were a bit effeminate. If I picked a flower and put it in his hand, or pinned it on his ear, he would throw it away with disgust.

However, today I stared at it for so long, as if I was not looking at the flowers, but trying to recall something through the mountain flowers.

Hearing this, Su Yi remained still for a long time before reacting: "Yes, these scenes can be seen everywhere on Blue Star, but they only exist on Blue Star..."

"In another world, seeing wild flowers is almost a luxury. Some people may never see wild flowers blooming in the wilderness in their entire lives. Even small flowers like wild chrysanthemums, which can be seen everywhere, only exist in some large museums."

His words were full of vicissitudes, as if expressing his exhaustion.

"Hmm?" Mu Xiaowei's expression froze. She didn't know what Su Yi meant and was in a daze.

"another world?"

"Yes." Su Yi nodded: "There are some things that I should let you know. It's not good to always hide it from you. After all, it is directly related to you."

"What's the matter..." Mu Xiaowei bent her legs slightly and hugged her white silk calves.

Su Yi moved closer to her, sat on the stone and replied calmly: "What you wanted to know most before."

"What do you want to know most? Are you talking about missing..."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Mu Xiaowei's eyes. The two were childhood sweethearts and had no secrets about almost anything. Even though they had a fight later, they still kept in touch.

From time to time, he would run to Su Yi's rental house to deliver meals, and they sat at the desks in front and behind each other in class.

What is unclear and what confuses her the most.

Then it can only be the 93 days when Su Yi disappeared before.

He disappeared from school inexplicably. No one knew where he went or what happened to him. Even the police were powerless to do anything. It was as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

If you think carefully about Su Yi's strange behavior after he came back, his extraordinary strength, and his various old uncle-like thoughts and ideas, plus the other world we are talking about now.

"Could it be..." Mu Xiaowei hadn't finished her words yet.

Su Yi seemed to understand her thoughts and nodded in response:

"You guessed it right. During my disappearance, I was teleported to another world. That world is what the Holy Land Organization calls the Holy Land, but I prefer to call it the Wasteland."

"That world has undergone tremendous changes. The natural ecology has been completely destroyed, resources are extremely scarce, drinking clean water is a luxury, and people can only survive on energy bars that are tasteless and a pity to throw away. Even those who have been mechanized are only fit to drink motor oil."

"It's filled with madmen with special abilities, and ordinary people can only survive in the cracks. The society is rotten to the point of shocking decay. Despite its advanced technology, the environment is harsh, morality has fallen, and there is absolutely no order."

"The outskirts of the stronghold are filled with poisonous gas and deadly radiation filled with impurities. Even those with special abilities would find it difficult to resist. Even the equipment of an iron body would be corroded by it."

"Without the sun, the sky is covered in poisonous gas all day long. The moon only comes out once a year, and even then you might not be able to see it."

"All the time I disappeared was spent there, in that place called the wasteland."

"What, what!" Mu Xiaowei's eyes were trembling, and she looked at the familiar face beside her in disbelief.

The two looked at each other. Su Yi's expression made her feel unfamiliar, cold and sharp, but there was no lie in his eyes, only seriousness.

She had guessed countless answers and possibilities in her mind, but she had never expected such a reply.

But think about it, since there are things like superpowers that go beyond common sense, traveling to another world seems reasonable.

After all, Mu Xiaowei herself is a space-based psychic...

But it’s not over yet.

As the breeze blew, the pure white wild chrysanthemums stretched their bodies with the wind, and the buds kept floating on the ground. Some petals fell on Su Yi's collar with the wind and stuck to it temporarily.

Su Yi reached out and picked up the petals on his collar, playing with them in his hands, as if he was thinking about something, his throat rolling slightly.

Then he released the petals, stretched out his palm, and counted the number 10 one by one:

"Xiaowei, there's one more thing I haven't told you. In fact, the speed of time flowing on Blue Star and in the wasteland is completely different. Time passes much faster in the wasteland."

Mu Xiaowei's dark eyes began to tremble, and a bad guess arose in her mind. Her throat and mouth became dry and coughed due to nervousness.

"Su Yi, do you mean to say that you stayed there for more than 93 days?"

Su Yi nodded, his eyes slightly blurred, looking at the mountains and fields ahead, his tone became low.

"If we only calculate based on time."

"I haven't seen you in at least ten years."

Chapter 251 Confession (7.6k)

Under the sycamore tree, wild chrysanthemums fell in disorder.

Except for the rustling sound of green leaves colliding with each other, the surroundings were silent until the sunset fell and the sky was gradually eroded by darkness.

"Ten years, ten years..."

"It's been so long since we last met. I was wondering why you looked at me like a stranger a while ago. So that's how it is..."

His extraordinary strength, strange knowledge of supernatural powers, and suspicious personality seemed like he had just returned from a war, with almost no trace of his previous self.

Everything proves the accuracy of the words.

"If it weren't for all the things that happened, I would have really thought you were joking."

"But now that I think about it, this is indeed the best explanation..."

Mu Xiaowei lowered her head and spoke slowly, her round chin resting on her knees. Although she said this, her voice was a little weak.

She couldn't imagine that she had been separated from Su Yi for such a long time. No wonder she didn't remember many things.

"If what you said before is true, that world called the wasteland is very dangerous."

"It's very dangerous, not just ordinary dangerous..." Su Yi nodded slightly, put his hand on his chin, and stared at the wild chrysanthemums in front of him that had dimmed because of the night.

"Then you had a hard time in that world. You wouldn't be so strong right after you went there."

Mu Xiaowei raised her chin slightly and turned to look at him.

until today.

Mu Xiaowei finally understood.

When I asked Su Yi why he was so strong, he would say over and over again that it was the result of hard work, the result of extreme hard work.

Being suddenly transported to that kind of world, I don’t know how much blood and sweat I had to shed just to survive.

The people of the Holy Land Organization are already difficult enough to deal with. The people they serve and are loyal to must be some guys with abnormal strength.

Just thinking about fighting those people every day makes my back cold.

Face this problem.

Su Yi pondered for a moment and remained silent for more than ten seconds.

"If you say it's difficult, then it's really difficult to do anything in that world."

"Especially when I first crossed over, I was almost doomed many times. Fortunately, I was lucky and most of the time there were always trustworthy people around to help me."

"People you trust." Mu Xiaowei repeated these four words in a low voice, her eyelashes trembling: "That means you have made a lot of friends there."

"Ah."

"Perhaps it can no longer be summed up simply as friends. Living together, relying on each other, and going through the most difficult times together, it might be better to describe it as comrades and family."

"Family?"

Mu Xiaowei nodded.

Anyone who can be addressed by the introverted Su Yi with this title must be an extremely important person. He didn't even call his parents family before.

Mu Xiaowei had always thought that she was the person who had spent the longest time with Su Yi, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking.

In the most difficult times, it was not me who stood by Su Yi.

My heart feels empty, as if a big hole suddenly appeared in the harbor that I thought was full, filled with all kinds of unknowns and doubts.

After such a long separation, could she still be considered a childhood sweetheart? Moreover, they parted ways when their relationship was at its most strained.

At best, it was just a reunion with a stranger after a long time, and the two had a bad impression of each other before the holiday.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaowei even felt a little jealous of those companions who had fought with Su Yi.

But she knew very well that if she really traveled through time with Su Yi, her athletic ability, with her small arms and legs, her panting after running a few steps, and her frequent illnesses, would only be a drag.

Unless one awakens his special abilities as soon as he gets there, and can feel his control over space getting stronger every day like in the last few days or so, perhaps only in this way can he be of help.

Thinking room.

The girl seemed to have remembered something important?

She moved closer to Su Yi, their shoulders pressed together. She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, then asked nervously and anxiously, "Su Yi, do you have many female friends in that world?"

"Of course." Su Yi didn't deny it, and stretched out his hand to explain: "As far as the population structure of the wasteland is concerned, there are more women than men, with a ratio of about 7:3."

For some unknown reason, the survival rate of women in each stronghold was much higher than that of men, and they were more adaptable to radiation, which naturally led to a situation where there were more women than men.

But the men who survived were generally strong guys, or had special abilities. Because they accounted for a small proportion of the population, a matriarchal society emerged.

One is large in quantity, the other is high in quality, and the two form a delicate balance with each other.

"So, do you have someone you like in that world? Or are you already in love with someone, or even married..."

Mu Xiaowei asked the question that concerned her most. She stared at Su Yi's face closely, and her fingers nervously grasped her white stockings. Because she used too much force, she unconsciously left deep fingerprints on her thighs.

10 years is too long, not to mention the prefix "more than" is added in front of it, so many things may happen.

Hearing this, Su Yi also smiled helplessly: "In a world where we try our best to survive, there is no time to think about such things."

"The tasks piling up every day are simply endless. Enemies need to be eliminated, strongholds need constant repairs, and supply equipment breaks down all the time. The more difficult tasks can take months."

"Every day, I crawl out of my hibernation pod and open my eyes to a long list of missions. When the missions are most intense, I might be out there for a whole year, unable to return to base. I don't have time to think about this kind of thing..."

"Then there's nothing left!" A light flashed in Mu Xiaowei's eyes.

Until Su Yi lowered his eyebrows and the bangs on his forehead swayed in the wind.

"If we really talk about love, I did have a crazy crush on someone. Not only me, but everyone in our faction was like that."

"I don't know what others think. They all have their own things they want to do, their own goals to pursue, and their own lifelong journeys to fight for."

"But I had no other thoughts. My only motivation in that world was to realize her ideals, fulfill her instructions, achieve the future she had envisioned, and live up to her expectations."

"Even if I gave my all, fought to my death for this goal, and collapsed in some dark corner where no one knew about it, I would not regret it. It's the same now, even though there were some things I had no interest in before."

Every word Su Yi said was unusually calm and serious, as if he was recounting some lifelong vow. Even when he thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the scene in front of me.

Mu Xiaowei stood there in a daze, the wind blowing her light brown hair back and forth in front of her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't say the next sentence for a long time, and the sob was stuck in her throat.

The hillside was silent, even the chirping of insects stopped.

After a long time.

Mu Xiaowei's fingers had unconsciously dug into the white silk, leaving deep finger marks on her calves. She lowered her head and asked in a low voice:

"This isn't love, it's admiration, isn't it?"

Su Yi did not refute, but silently stood up from the stone and also looked towards the moon sky:

"Maybe. Maybe it's a bit of both. I don't have many memories left. I'll tell you later. I'll probably have to reach into my diary. It's a long story, but due to confidentiality, I can't go into too much detail."

Mu Xiaowei was confused: "Don't you remember?"
