Chapter 16 The difficult decision(1/2)
They stayed until they were about to get off work, and several members of the "old transfer team" packed their belongings and prepared to leave.
When Long Yuehong, who was holding his own laptop computer, passed by Jiang Baimian, opened her mouth but did not say anything.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian noticed his abnormality.
Long Yuehong hesitated for a moment and said:
"Team leader, you have been insisting on investigating the causes of the destruction of the old world and the origin of the 'heartless disease'. This is definitely full of dangers. Don't you, aren't you afraid of dying yourself?"
"There are future generations!" Shang Jianyao, not far away, shouted with a smile.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him, looked at Long Yuehong, and said with a smile:
"Of course I'm afraid."
She paused and added seriously:
"But some things have to be done. On the dust, many times, you are not afraid of death and do not take risks, you will not die. No one knows when the 'heartless disease' will fall on your head. Instead of dying in a daze, I would rather fall on the way to find hope."
"Will you feel more in searching for light?" Shang Jianyao asked in a discussion tone.
Jiang Baimian said "hoosh":
"Did you use the 'Literary Youth' to yourself?"
She turned to Long Yuehong with a smile:
"Besides, it's not necessarily a death, there is still a possibility of success."
At this time, Bai Chen interrupted:
“At least, I want to stay in the group while my ability is still up to par.
"In the future, the dangers that the group will face will become greater and greater, and I can no longer improve myself. I will take the initiative to withdraw and not drag everyone down."
"What's the burden or not?" Jiang Baimian said angrily and amusedly, "But this idea is pretty good. In short, do what you can. I will do it within my ability. If the danger ahead is so great that I can't deal with it, I will definitely not rush over and leave the green mountains there, and I am still afraid of no firewood? If my generation really cannot complete the investigation into the cause of the destruction of the old world, I will focus on cultivating the next generation."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"Anyway, don't make a decision. Xiaohong, don't be impulsive and give up the opportunity. Maybe you will regret it in a few days. Xiaobai, too. Genetic transformation is in any case, there are certain risks. You can think about it for a while and see if the situation changes. If tomorrow or accidents are not the case, no one knows which one will come first."
As for hell, I have given up treatment long ago!
Seeing that the team leader was talking more formally, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong nodded and agreed.
On the way back to the 495th floor, Long Yuehong was silent and didn't say anything, but Shang Jianyao quarreled with him for a few words.
He didn't persuade anything or cheer up. He waved his hand and set out on the road home in a cool way.
When he got home, Long Yuehong began to be busy. Sometimes he went to the "kitchen" to help Gu Hong, and sometimes he went to the small room to tutor his sister Long Aihong for homework.
After dinner, the family packed up their dishes and walked out for two walks. Then, the two took turns playing on the computer, and the three of them chatted while listening to the radio.
"Hello everyone, I am Houyi, the news announcer at the hourly event. It's 8 o'clock in the evening...
"Today, Su Yu, director of the company's board of directors, went to the surface to express condolences to the employees on duty at the surrounding post and commended their unremitting spirit in harsh environments..."
Hearing this, Gu Hong turned her head and looked at her eldest son:
“Is the surface environment really that bad?
"That's not what you said before."
"Divid the place." Long Yuehong briefly explained, "Many areas were seriously damaged when the old world was destroyed. Even today, extreme and bad weather often occurs. It may be sunny in the morning, and the sun is almost hot. In the afternoon, heavy snow fell on goose feathers, which accumulated to nearly one meter thick."
"It's really hard for those people on duty and the external employees of the Security Department..." Gu Hong sighed.
Long Dayong immediately agreed:
"Yes, if it weren't for their sacrifice, how could we have lived so peacefully and securely?"
Even if the materials are a little scarce, it is much better than Shuiwei Town and Hongshiji.
Long Yuehong listened quietly, habitually raised her right hand and touched her cheek.
The cold feeling suddenly made him awake.
…………
In the middle of the night, Long Yuehong twitched her body and opened her eyes.
He had a nightmare just now.
In the dream, his parents, brother and sister all suffered from "no heart disease".
He wanted to rescue him, but was hit by a shell and was blown into pieces.
Long Yuehong subconsciously raised her hand and touched her forehead, causing a cold sensation.
He used his right palm habitually again.
After changing to his left hand, he found his forehead covered with sweat.
Long Yuehong took a breath and slowly exhaled it. She decided to go to the bathroom to make some convenience and wipe her face.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the small bathroom at home, he saw a dim light coming out of the crack of the door.
"Who is inside?" Long Yuehong asked.
"I." Long Aihong's voice came out.
Long Yuehong asked casually:
"I haven't fallen asleep yet?"
Long Aihong smiled awkwardly:
"Brother, don't tell your parents, I've been playing computers until now."
"You won't study tomorrow?" Long Yuehong was both angry and funny.
"I won't read it." Long Aihong answered very confidently, "Tomorrow's weekend."
All forgot this... Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:
"If I don't say it, you can't hide it. This is the amount of energy distribution at home. How could parents not discover it after you use so much?"
"I, I came back today and accidentally found that the energy distribution at home was much larger, so I squandered it a little. It was almost the end of the month, so I would waste it if I didn't need it." Long Aihong asked in confusion, "Brother, do you know what's going on?"
Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:
"Probably, the corresponding energy distribution after I was promoted was distributed."
"You, have you been promoted again?" Long Aihong was surprised and happy, "D6?"
Long Yuehong said a little embarrassed and proudly:
"Just confirmed, D7."
He has not told his parents about this matter yet, and Shang Jianyao did not make any publicity on the street today.
"Wow!" Long Aihong exclaimed sincerely, "Brother, you are so awesome! To be honest, do you want to consider my classmates? Several of them admire you."
Obviously, she learned a lot from old world entertainment materials.
Long Yuehong coughed:
"How long will you have?"
"Wait for another five minutes, and I will have to re-create my feelings when chatting with you." Long Aihong estimated.
Long Yuehong considered it briefly:
"Forget it, I'll go outside."
More than five minutes are enough.
He wrapped himself in a thick cotton coat, took the flashlight, left the house, and walked towards the nearest public toilet.
After the comfortable and comfortable solution, Long Yuehong shrank his body, illuminated the road ahead, and walked back step by step.
He had long been accustomed to the cold after the lights were turned off. He knew that most of the precious geothermal energy was directed to the "production area" with the help of a certain technology. The daily life part provided by the "energy area" will naturally save as much as possible at night.
As Long Yuehong walked, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the side and rushed towards him.
This... Long Yuehong has rich practical experience. Seeing that he had no time to hide, he hurriedly raised his right arm and blocked him.
Almost at the same time, his arm was weighed down by the black shadow.
Using the flashlight's afterwards, Long Yuehong saw the attacker clearly.
It was a familiar face, probably a neighbor nearby. At this time, his expression was distorted, his eyes were turbid, and he was covered in blood.
"No heart disease"... Someone got "no heart disease" again... Long Yuehong's heart tightened, and the palm of her right hand suddenly turned red.
This was his subconscious reaction, but soon he controlled his instinct and gave up using the "laser emitter".
This will penetrate the walls or floors and is very easy to hurt others by mistake!
As his thoughts turned, Long Yuehong's right arm, which was cast by iron, shook, and threw the "intentional person" out.
Then, he kicked his feet, pounced on him, clenched his iron fist, and swung it out.
Pong!
