Chapter 553: Farewell to Second Cousin at the Train Station Parting Ways

In short, under the spotlight, my distant second cousin's family, who had just returned from traveling overseas, happily got off the train with their bags...

Ahem, cough, cough, the bullshit impression about my second cousin is completely gone! That was the head of state who just returned from the battlefield with great honors, right? Absolutely?

Walking on the passage in the central area of ​​the Mars shelter, I was still in a state of severe loss. Historians tell us that people who generally fail to pretend to be sexy will suffer like this for a long time...

"Well, don't worry about it," Lin Xue patted my shoulder carelessly, "That's how we always look."

"Go on, who will tell you 'we'?" I rolled my eyes and said.

The elder sister next to me continued to sigh: "Are you all children?"

Before I had time to speak, my sister entered her second state of despair, shaking her head sadly: "I'm just a mother-like figure anyway..."

So I started to stare fiercely at the culprit on the other side, a super energetic girl who spoke without thinking and thought with her back molars.

Qian Qian was busy discussing with Little Bubble about exchanging her own bubble gum for the other party's Alpine lollipop, and pretended not to notice the king's gaze.

"How long will it take for this shelter to be operational?"

Giving up on trying to get Qianqian out of the world of the Child King, I turned my head and asked Sivis who was accompanying me.

"This ecological colony ball is ultra-highly adaptable and can operate automatically after being placed on the surface of the planet. Its molecular builders can analyze the surrounding planet environment at extremely high speeds and change the operation of the entire ecological ball underground factory system. At the same time, A large number of supporting production bases are established in the underground cavity of the ecological sphere. This process only takes three days, and the satellite system supporting the ecological sphere will complete multiple scans of the entire planet within 24 hours and submit a report containing resources, The archives, including climate and celestial movement patterns, guide the ecological ball to complete further self-adjustment. This process, including the construction of the underground cavity, takes a total of about seven days.

However, if we just allow these refugees to live, the current conditions are actually enough. The colonial system has been transformed and has complete living conditions and a large amount of material reserves. Basically, they are in a state of being able to move in and live at any time. Except for being a little crowded, the refugees life will not be affected in any way. "

"Well, very good," I nodded with satisfaction, "How are the refugees arranged? How are they doing?"

"Follow the emergency evacuation regulations and enter a unified military management mode. Vault residents will be assigned according to their boarding numbers when they left the earth, and all class titles and meanings will be cancelled." Sivis pointed to a piece of scrolling information displayed at the end of the passage ahead. The huge projection "retains only the functional group names for social operation such as 'physical people', 'researchers', 'combatants', 'intellectuals', etc., forming a machine-like society. The shelter is currently hosted by the colonial system. An intelligent computer named 'Fenon-A6' is under unified command. This device equipped with a disaster recovery module will treat human beings as inefficient parts and allocate everyone's daily action requirements so that the entire civilization can be preserved and protected as much as possible. develop."

"This is not a good idea for a flexible and creative race like humans," I shook my head. The method Sivis chose may seem efficient and perfect to the Xiling people, but it can only remind me of the Fallout series. With Shimmer City, "It's okay to stabilize the refugees in this way in the initial time, but how to rebuild this civilization - you'd better listen to Laura's advice and Renault's experience. I want to revive humans, not let them survive After hundreds of years, it will become a twisted machine race, and I don’t want that ‘Fernon-A6’ to be smashed into pieces by a group of freedom fighters with pipe wrenches when the ending song is about to play.”

"Yes." Although he didn't quite understand what I said, Sivis nodded obediently.

"By the way, Ajun," Qianqian, who had successfully tricked Xiaopao into getting candy, suddenly tugged on my sleeve, "Did we forget something?"

"Forgot something?"

I paused, and then suddenly felt like I had forgotten something.

I rubbed my chin and frowned, thinking hard. Ten minutes later, a flash of lightning flashed across my mind:

"Girl, I haven't eaten yet!"

"Ajun, I want to eat too!" The first person to respond was indeed Sandora. As soon as I said the word "rice", this girl's eyes started to emit dynamic light waves!

"What a shame!" Lin Xue didn't care at all that I was still an injured person and came over with a quick kick, "Mumu, where is that puppet who is neither tall nor too small!?"

I fell into a panic on the spot - I almost forgot about that guy! If the teacher returns to the court without saying a word, although I don’t know if Rose Girl will starve to death, the mercury lamp will definitely bury this precarious human civilization with chicken feathers before starving to death!

"You guys wait, I'll go find that girl!"

After saying these words, I ran away, leaving behind a group of beauties, big and small, looking at the direction I disappeared with blank expressions, except for Little Bubble. This girl's reaction speed was incredibly fast. I hadn't even reached eighty miles when I started. Well, she jumped out of Niang Xingxin’s arms and hung directly on my neck.

Three minutes later, I came back.

"Sivis, where is the explosion-proof bunker 163 in Area A?" I asked with a depressed look on my face. The little bubble hanging around my neck turned around and greeted everyone happily.

"My Lord!!" Laura, who had been stimulated by us all the way, finally reached her limit. The Bible used to hypnotize herself in her hand completely lost its effect. The greatest bishop who was always seventeen years old looked up at the sky and said, "What happened today?" Is everything a test for me? Please forgive the weakness of your followers, I really can’t stand it!”

After saying such treasonous words, Laura Stewart headed southwest in a flash of light - definitely over 200 miles away. There was no traffic police in the shelter. If there had been a traffic police, they would have been detained!

After asking for the specific location of an explosion-proof bunker used to "contain" the dolls, I removed the small octopus-like bubble from the neck and stuffed it into my mother's arms. I also flashed yellow, two hundred and two Shimaidi disappeared.

"This is it." Not far from the city's central functional tower, I found my target, a gray-looking alloy door that was exposed above the ground like the entrance to an underground pedestrian street. After confirming the highest order, it was pre-locked. The door opened silently, revealing a downward-sloping passage, "Mercury lamp! Are you there?"

My empty call echoed in the empty descending passage, let alone dolls, even half a Barbie doll.

"Mercury lamp!?" I called a puppet's name and ran down the long passage quickly - my body didn't recover, and I almost fell off because I didn't step firmly. "Where is it? Come out, let's go home. !”

There was still no response. Looking at the empty bunker hall and the idling transmitter in the center of the hall, I was shocked: Damn, are you really starving to death?

Ahem, I'm a mouthful, I respect myself, and I'm confessing. In fact, I'm a little hungry, and I haven't eaten yet.

"Strange, where is that guy?"

Wandering around in the empty hall, I muttered to myself in a low voice. I had obviously received a confirmation reply when I teleported her to this location (the reply read: You bastard! Idiot! Idiot human being! Hurry up! Let me out!), I guess I haven’t lost it, why is there no one there? Could it be that the mercury lamp used its own feather metal storm to penetrate the two-meter-thick armor layer here, which was entirely made of interstellar alloy and astral gold stone thin plates?

...Tch, are you kidding? I’m not a student of geology with mercury lamps.

Just when I was stunned, a burst of sound suddenly came from behind my head.

There is a situation! Just as this thought flashed through my mind, my body was too weak to react. I had been hit hard by the attacker from behind. The touch from my back accurately told me the size of the opponent: a Barbie doll with a height of 0.7691 Pandora. !

"You abominable human! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! You left me here alone! How dare you come in now!" Someone locked himself very firmly on my back, while using his body and agility to The advantage evaded my attempt to catch it, "Don't think I'm easy to bully! Today I must let you know the power of my first puppet, Mercury Lamp!"

"Bang bang bang bang crackle crackle——"

Sure enough, it was the mercury lamp that was best at hitting the head. After discovering that any of his attacks could not cause damage to certain out-of-specification BTs, our very powerful and noble first puppet used his non-threatening little claws as He picked up his own conventional weapon, and with the attitude that any attack would have the same effect anyway, he chose the most touching combat skill: hitting the head with a mercury lamp one hundred and eight times!

If I didn't have a rock-hard skull, a mercury lamp would have turned me into a Tathagata.

"Hey, hey, hey! You arrogant doll! You are the king of assassins and the king of assassins! It's enough to even the nine clans... Hey! No scratching is allowed!"

"This is just the first round of punishment!" Mercury Lamp's angry voice sounded again. I tried several times but failed to pull this extremely flexible little man off my back. Instead, the latter became even more arrogant, "This time Teach me a lesson you will never forget...ah!"

Eh? Uh-huh?

It took me two seconds to realize what this arrogant guy was doing - a head-biting attack!

"Wow! Are you a Sandra? Or have you let that head-biting saint who has read 13,000 pornographic books penetrate your soul! Not even Qianqian, Paopao, and Sandra have ever started this kind of pursuit. Attack!" Although it didn't hurt, the sudden head-biting attack of the mercury lamp was more psychological. Strictly speaking, it was an impact on the soul of complaining. I finally grabbed a small one fixed on the back of my head. He didn't dare to hurt the other person's head with too much force, "Relax, I'm a wounded person!"

Without warning, the venting mercury lamp suddenly stopped. I was stunned when a strange tone came from behind: "Injured? Are you... injured?"

"Well, a little problem. As you know, the interior of the earth was parasitized by abyss energy at that time. We ran into some trouble when we eliminated that thing."

Big trouble - a gangster-like crazy goddess almost tormented me to death.

It suddenly occurred to me that in order to prevent her from running around, the mercury lamp had been kept in this bunker. When the 3D masterpiece "Super Galaxy War" was played in the sky outside, she couldn't see it. Don't say I was injured, I'm afraid even us She didn't even know that she had just finished the space war.

"Small question?" Huiyin Deng climbed onto my shoulder along the terrain (?) with ease and ease, and sat down peacefully. I'm afraid even she didn't realize when she started to get used to this kind of seemingly intimate interaction. "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Okay, you're so smart." I rubbed the head of the mercury lamp like a child, and quickly took my hand back before the other party habitually knocked it down. "We had a huge battle with the enemy, and in the end even The Imperial Guards of the Shadow Fortress are here, but don’t worry, we won.”

"It's definitely not that simple!" Mercury Lamp continued to look at me suspiciously, "You guys can also get hurt. It's definitely not as simple as a battle, right? Aren't you very powerful?"

"Um, can I take that as your trust in me?"

While carrying the mercury lamp and coming out of the bunker, I expressed doubts.

"Hmph——" Mercury Lamp snorted softly and stopped paying attention to me.

"Okay, okay, the matter here is finally settled," I patted my calf that was kicking restlessly in front of my chest with the mercury lamp, feeling that the mode of getting along with this guy was getting closer and closer to that of a little bubble, " We're going home right now - by the way, do you want to take a nap first? I put your big box in the carry-on space. It seems like you rose girls can only recover HP by sleeping in the box, right?"

"Idiot! Don't contaminate my important box with your twisted knowledge!"

"Okay, okay... I have to eat something first when I go back. You will never believe it. I had a fight with a god. When Guan Yu chopped off Hua Xiong, he came back with a mouth full of Erguotou. I fought with a god and came back with no saliva." I didn’t even have time to drink. After I woke up, I was dragged out and stood on the stage like an insider from the relevant departments and laughed stupidly. Then I had to come to you in a hurry and get angry... Hey, do you listen?"

There was no movement around.

I rolled my eyes curiously and glanced sideways. What caught my eye was the small face with the mercury lamp close at hand. It was quiet and gentle - don't think too much, this girl is asleep.

He just sat on my shoulders, holding my head and fell asleep. It was really a stable position.

"This guy looks a lot cuter after he falls asleep."

I wanted to shrug, but I was afraid of knocking the other person off, so in the end I just shrugged the other half of my shoulders as if he was paralyzed - I am a persistent and stubborn person - the kind of quietness and tranquility that is revealed only after the mercury lamp falls asleep. Her softness is surprising, completely different from her usual cold and condescending look. Maybe this is what she looked like before her personality changed drastically? The gentle, kind, and even somewhat weak Rose Maiden number one doll?

Hey, wait, something’s not right? It seems that the Rose Maidens can only really sleep peacefully in their packaging boxes... ahem, big boxes. Even the annual limited edition Rose Maidens such as mercury lanterns follow this setting. Luo Zhen did not design them. The function of being able to charge without a matching charging socket is really a mistake - well, how did the mercury lamp fall asleep?

This problem has been bothering me all the way until I returned to the shuttle berth. The mercury lamp suddenly woke up and started grabbing my hair. I didn't understand. Could it be that Luo Zhen also designed a "travel charging mode" and "standby" for the mercury lamp? Is there such a weird function as "Power Saving Mode"?

"Hey, I'm sorry, there are also passers-by A, B, and C."

From a distance, I saw a small group of familiar figures next to the shuttle berth. They were the seven young people from the academy. Well, there were also the two female police officers who were rescued by us, and the stranger abcd - by the way Is this the function of the protagonist’s halo? How come the survival rate is so high for the guys in the original novel who are acquainted with these little gangsters? Of the 7 billion people who died, only 280,000 were left, including these ABCDs.

"Sure enough, this is the greeting." Komuro Takashi let out a long sigh, holding his forehead and sighing.

Busujima Saeko looked depressed and said to passers-by A, B, C and D: "I knew it would be like this. No one would have thought that he was the leader of the battle just now."

I'm sorry to disappoint you because I'm not used to sneaking around, but you, an 18-year-old female high school student, showing such a hateful expression to the head of state is quite rude, you know?

Ahem, in short, my greeting just now completely changed the atmosphere from the return of the class teacher to the state of saying goodbye to my second cousin at the train station.

"How did you decide?" I looked at the Bus Island group, "Stay in the Martian Sanctuary? Or go back to the Shadow Fortress to live? I have to admit that for ordinary people, both places are nothing in the overall environment. It’s a good place to live at home, but the living conditions are absolutely sufficient, and Dingdang has already gone through the procedures for you, so you can choose wherever you want to live.”

"I'm staying." The first person to answer was school nurse Shizuka Marikawa. "My friend is here, and the profession of healer should also be needed in the shelter. Living in a Martian city has always been my childhood dream. oh."

"Well, I didn't expect you to have such childish dreams when you were a child." Nan Lixiang's face immediately became strange.

"We are also staying," this time it was Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei, "and Alice. Although the conditions in the Mars shelter may be a little more difficult, but sure enough... we still hope to live in human society and live here. , as Teacher Marichuan said, maybe it is also a life worth looking forward to."

"I want to follow in your footsteps!" Fatty Hirano, who finally found a chance to speak, immediately jumped out with a suspiciously bright face, "I will never forget that scene in my life! Artillery fire and youth, ah, please promise me. Please, let my blood burn in steel and flames... Uh-huh——"

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Saying such words full of déjà vu, Takagi Saya calmly put away the hammer in her hand that God knows whether it appeared in response to the plot call, "But we did decide to go back to Shadow City , our family...is no longer here, and we don’t have a sense of belonging in this alien sanctuary. However, in Shadow City, I met several Misaka sisters, so it’s not bad to start a new life there.”

"Finally, Busujima, where are you?"

I finally cast my eyes on Busujima Saeko. This girl with a very special temperament has been listening quietly since just now. Her face is so calm that it is impossible to guess what she is thinking.

"There's nothing I want to miss here," Busujima looked at the friends who had fought side by side behind him, as well as the rugged high-rise buildings in the distance against the background of the red earth, "If you don't dislike it, let me stay by your side. , although my power is meager, I hope I can use my (power) to repay your kindness a little, the women of the Busujima family are not used to being indebted to others."

At this moment, two things hit me like lightning. The first one hit my mind: I thought of the rogue goddess Bingtis who claimed to never owe anyone anything. The second thing hit my arm, it was Qian Qian. Shallow little tiger teeth...

If you don't use this ambiguous statement, you will die!
