abyss rose

Chapter 39

The heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Breathing, paused for a few seconds at that moment.

The hands around the waist were thin and cold.

The murmur in the ear was so light and calm, but it carried a sadness that no one could ignore.

At the moment when he was almost hypoxic, Chai Yuening took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and gently stroked Chu Ci's hair.

A little trembling, and unconsciously patted gently.

She couldn't help thinking, whoever it was, would be reluctant to part with the ordinary and freedom that seemed to be stolen for more than a month.

She didn't know how to comfort her.

How much she wanted to be with her all the time.

But time always flies too fast, and the footsteps of trying to accompany each other are not as fast as parting.

In a moment of silence, someone knocked on the door.

The people who hugged each other gently separated at that moment as if nothing had happened.

Chai Yuening stepped forward to open the door, and saw four heads crowding up and down outside, and when the door opened, she immediately looked inside.

The most important thing is that behind them are all kinds of luggage, big and small.

Chai Yuening couldn't help being taken aback: "You guys...what are you doing squeezing my door this early in the morning?"

Lu Qi: "Captain, Sister Chu Ci is leaving today, are you going to see her off?"

Chai Yuening: "Yes."

Lu Qi: "Send it to the lifting platform, send it to the ground, or send it to the floating city?"

Chai Yuening: "If there is permission, I want to send her back."

Liandong: "Take us with you, captain! We also want to send Chu Ci off, we've known each other for a while, so we're reluctant."

Lu Qi: "Yeah, sister Chu Ci is going back, why don't we have to send people to the door of our house so we can rest assured?"

Old Xiang: "We and Chu Ci are in a fateful relationship. It's not too much to take a plane to travel to Floating City, right?"

Lu Qi: "That's right, let's take a look at the sky by the way, and you can play for a lifetime when you come back."

Du Xia: "I'm also curious about what it looks like looking down from the sky."

Chai Yuening couldn't help being taken aback, and a touch of emotion floated up in her heart.

If there were more people to accompany him, Chu Ci should be very happy.

She thought so, took a deep breath: "You..."

Old Xiang: "Don't worry, I won't disturb the world of the two of you, we'll just join in the fun on the road, and go shopping by ourselves when we get there."

Chai Yuening: "I didn't mean that..."

Liandong: "Captain, no need to explain."

Lu Qi: "I understand everything."

Du Xia: "Yes."

Chai Yuening: "..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, let alone if it's Youlan's fault.

It seemed that everyone had some strange misunderstanding about the relationship between her and Chu Ci.

Obviously only Youlan was like this in the beginning.

Just as Chai Yuening was about to say something, she heard Chu Ci's voice behind her.

"Okay." Chu Ci said, bending his eyebrows and smiling.

This answer seemed to be a tacit consent, Chai Yuening opened his mouth, but was unable to say a word.

After getting the permission, everyone outside the door dragged their luggage and squeezed into the room, consciously found a space to sit down, and chatted in a good spirit.

The originally dull room suddenly became more lively.

Chai Yuening locked herself in the toilet for a while while washing up.

She couldn't help but think about that sudden hug, couldn't help caring about the warmth close to her heart.

Chu Ci's voice still seemed to be echoing in her ears.

Light and calm, it seemed to be telling an ordinary matter, but it touched her heartstrings.

After calming down, she gently opened the door and looked towards where Chu Ci was.

The person who was lying on her chest a few minutes ago and telling his thoughts was now sitting obediently on the luggage that Lao Xiang brought in, listening seriously to Lao Xiang bragging about his youth.

"A while ago, the little nurse refused to let me out of the hospital, saying that I was weak and asked me to observe for a few more days. Just kidding, can I be weak? None of the mercenary teams I have been in in my life is not an elite level."

"When I was young, those things on the ground were not very contagious. At that time, my forehead was full of blood, and my intestines were scratched out. I still smashed those strange things and drove the old broken car back to the base. .”

"Compared to that time, what is this little injury and this amount of bleeding?"

But if someone brags, someone will tear it down.

Lu Qi: "But you're old."

"Hey? Boy, do you want to go out and practice your fist?"

"I don't bully the injured."

"Heal from the injury and practice!"

"Okay, whoever loses will pay for a month's meal!"

Liandong shook his head repeatedly, moved the wheelchair to Chu Ci's side, and whispered something with a smile.

After hearing this, Chu Ci raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his brows were as soft as a crescent moon.

Chai Yuening just looked at her quietly, with a gentleness that she hadn't noticed before.

Not long after, people from Floating Void City came.

The vehicle specially sent by the base to pick up Dr. Yi was parked downstairs.

When a group of people went down with large and small luggage, they were shocked.

But the surprise is the surprise, no one stopped them from getting into the car.

Hearing the sound, Youlan followed down the stairs together, and waved to everyone reluctantly. When saying goodbye loudly, he still made strange gestures and winked at Chai Yuening crazily to suggest that the tightly furrowed brows , I wish I could write the five characters "I hate iron but not steel".

Chu Ci: "Is Boss You feeling unwell?"

Chai Yuening: "She has always been a little bit wrong."

Chu Ci: "Then when you come back, take time to accompany her to see her, just like taking me to see a doctor."

Chai Yuening: "..."

From the side came the snickering that tried hard but couldn't hold back.

Or a few people ensemble version.

On the light manned armored vehicle, Chai Yuening saw clearly the Dr. Yi that Chu Ci was talking about for the first time.

According to the base daily, this doctor of biology from Floating Void City is named Yi Shuyun, 39 years old this year, and has outstanding research results in the fusion of species.

Yi Shuyun has slightly yellowish black hair, tied into a ponytail, hanging low behind him.

Her complexion was an unhealthy white, and when she was expressionless, the crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes, which made her look no longer young.

Her eyes were calm, and she didn't repel the excitement in the car, but she didn't have any thoughts of participating.

After hearing Chu Ci say that everyone is a friend who wants to send her back, the doctor just nodded and said with a gentle smile: "After you go back, you can show your friends around."

This tone is not like a doctor of biology talking to an experimental sample, but rather like an elder casually making a suggestion to a junior.

Chai Yuening couldn't help thinking that maybe Chu Ci's living environment in Floating Void City was not as bad as she imagined.

Maybe Chu Ci is right, even if it is a sample, as long as it still looks like a human being, it can get relatively limited freedom to a certain extent.

She hoped it wasn't an illusion.

The armored vehicles at the base drove all the way to the parking area, everyone changed to planes, and were sent to the base elevator by the special transport belt at the parking airport.

Fighters from the Floating Void City were sent to the barren plain on the ground under the illumination of the fast "falling" hanging lights on both sides of the elevator platform.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and it was broad daylight.

The sun, which had not been seen for a long time, fell on the transparent glass windows of the fighter plane.

Chai Yuening squinted her eyes unconsciously.

Lu Qi was lying by the window, his tone excited: "There is actually a sun today!"

Old Xiang nodded with emotion: "It's been a while since I saw you."

Liandong took a deep breath and sighed: "The last time I saw the sun was more than ten years ago..."

Du Xia silently held her left hand on the severed limb.

The pilot in the cockpit was a little surprised when he heard it. He turned his head and glanced blankly behind him. The expression on his face obviously didn't understand how someone could be so emotional about the "rising of the sun".

Liandong couldn't help asking: "Does the floating city watch the sunrise if it wants to see the sunrise, and the sunset if it wants to see the sunset? When it's not raining, you can still see the stars and the moon every night?"

The pilot nodded: "When you get to a high place, there will be no dense fog, and the same goes for the plane."

As he spoke, the fighter plane began to taxi and take off with the large army.

The fighter plane flew into the sky, and the ground under its feet gradually became distant. After the fighter plane gradually moved away from it, the towering ground signal towers began to become smaller, more and more like a speck of dust on the earth.

That was the first time that Chai Yuening flew into the sky, and the first time he looked down on this plain that had traveled countless times since he was a child.

There are thirteen signal towers scattered on the plain, except for the three central ones that provide signals for the main city, the rest cover the area where each outer city is located.

Under this plain is the base of the dungeon.

Chai Yuening once thought that it was vast enough to accommodate more than 270 million people, but when she looked at it from a height, she realized that this plain was not as vast as she imagined.

The base on which human beings depended for survival was not even as large as the nuclear ruins of the old world covered in dense fog beside it.

And at this moment, they left that small underground fortress for the first time in their lives, and flew into the sky like birds to a wider world.

Countless fighter planes passed through the thin clouds and climbed to a higher sky.

I don't know how long it has passed, the clouds have thickened a lot, and looking down, there is a vast sea of ​​clouds.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there are wisps of thin clouds, like smoke, floating in the blue sky.

This is a view that people who have lived underground all their lives have never seen before.

The journey from the underground city to the floating city is very long.

There was no wind, rain, thunderstorm, and it took a full fifteen hours to arrive if the flight was able to maintain a constant speed.

There are two pilots on each plane, who take turns to rest.

The long flight allows people who have not caught up with the sunrise to catch up with the sunset.

The sun is orange, and the last afterglow is warmly sprinkled on the sea of ​​clouds by it.

I don't know who yearned for the blooming.

The fiery red glow is under the darkening shadow of the sea of ​​clouds.

Outlined one after another fire ripples of varying light and shade.

Where the clouds can't cover, there are birds passing by below.

In the distant sky where light and darkness intersect, a round of red sun that is no longer dazzling is falling heavily towards the boundless mountains.

Chai Yuening, who was waking up from sleep all the way, opened her eyes amid bursts of exclamations, staring blankly at everything in front of her.

In a trance, Chai Yuening even had some doubts. The light and freedom that so many people in the dungeon base yearn for seemed to be an ordinary thing in the distant place where they would eventually arrive.

She subconsciously held Chu Ci's hand beside her, wanting her to watch it too.

But when she turned her head to look at Chu Ci, she was surprised that Chu Ci's eyes seemed to stay on her face.

But in the next second, that gaze slightly dodged to the side, and then looked out of the window as if nothing had happened.

"In our base, you can often see these." Chu Ci said softly.

Chai Yuening hurriedly averted her eyes, and said without words: "Then you must be used to it."

There seemed to be a flash of hesitation in Chu Ci's eyes, and then he nodded and gave a light "um".

That moment of hesitation was not noticed by anyone.

Looking out the window, Chai Yuening replied softly with some emotion: "It's pretty good."

She couldn't help thinking, this is very good.

At least, now it seems that Chu Ci's life should be much better than she imagined.
