Chapter 124 end
“…Lu Tinghan.”
“…Which came first in this world, the chicken or the egg?”
“Wow! What’s the name of that flower?”
“Sudoku is really difficult, how can you do it so quickly? You are really smart.”
“My tail is knotted again…”
“Lu Tinghan! Come and pet my head!”
“…”
“…?!”
Lu Tinghan suddenly opened his eyes.
The leaves swayed outside the window, and a bright sun hit his face. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the corners of his eyes are a little moist.
“What, dreaming again?” Qiao Leming asked beside him.
“Yes.” Lu Tinghan said.
They were in the lounge of the military headquarters, Qiao Leming glanced at the time: “There are still 20 minutes, do you want to sleep for a while?”
“No.” Lu Tinghan stood up, carrying his military jacket with one hand, “I’ll go to the command center first.”
Qiao Leming shouted behind him: “Slow down—slower will not affect your promotion!”
Lu Tinghan didn’t look back, and waved his hand to show that he heard it.
“What a workaholic…” Qiao Leming muttered, turned to his friend and said, “I told you, he is considered a classmate of the same level as mine, but what happened? He graduated two years ahead of schedule, and now he is a major general. It seems that in a few years he has gone to the general. Do you think it makes people mad when people compare with others? He is still so hardworking.”
The commander next to him sipped a cup of coffee slowly and said, “He’s not here for promotion. It’s not the first day you know him. He’s not interested in those things, he just wants to guard the city.”
“Well, I know,” Qiao Leming said angrily, “Of course, who doesn’t want to guard the city?” He sighed, “Well, I admit it, I’m just envious and jealous! Why—how can anyone understand? , what is the monster thinking?”
“I can’t figure it out either.” My friend shrugged. “Probably due to talent. Some people are born good at drawing, some people are born to sing, and then some people are born to understand and understand monsters. It’s not surprising, right?”
“That’s right…” Qiao Leming scratched his head, “Forget it! Let’s go!”
The two got up and walked side by side to the command center on the top floor.
As the commander in chief of this operation, Lu Tinghan was already there.
They put on their optical brains for command. The task this time is to command the soldiers to explore the abandoned city “Larson” 300 kilometers away from Dunton. There are reptiles’ lairs, which are occupied by monsters all the year round, but if there is a chance to take back the city, it will be excellent. farming site.
The three commanded calmly, the army advanced step by step, under the hail of bullets, those twisted reptiles retreated steadily under their offensive.
This is the third time the soldiers have come to Larsson. The purpose is not to completely recover the city, but to eliminate monsters and explore the terrain.
Under Lu Tinghan’s command, the operation was a great success.
They wiped out two small lairs, cleaned up the southwest city, obtained a large amount of data, and then returned triumphantly.
When the operation was completely over, it was already three days later.
The recent command operations have been quite smooth, and the military department held a small celebration banquet.
Lu Tinghan attended briefly. He didn’t like this kind of place very much, so he excused himself to take a break and leave first.
Going back to the room alone, turning on the faucet, cold water splashed on his face, Lu Tinghan raised his eyes to look in the mirror, his gray-blue eyes were not tired at all.
He sat down at the desk.
The desk lamp has a bright yellow light, illuminating the pens, notebooks and books on the table. Instead of reading the book, he opened the terminal and flipped through the information bit by bit.
Most of them are military materials, but there are also private photos and sketches he drew.
In the sketches, he drew majestic sunrises, vast wastelands, thunderstorm clouds, and ice floes on the black sea, but most of them were cities. He drew long streets and short alleys, huge windmills and energy towers, and people coming and going. Restaurants and lively theaters…
Finally, at the end, is a sketch of a portrait.
The young man held his hands together, stood in the sea of flowers, bent his eyes and smiled.
This is a scene that repeatedly appeared in Lu Tinghan’s dreams.
He has had this bizarre dream since he was very young.
The dream is a long journey, full of difficulties and dangers, intertwined with laughter and tears, and there is one person who will always be by his side.
They held hands and looked into the distance side by side countless times.
Every time I wake up from the dream, these scenes fade away again, and I can’t capture them no matter what.
But Lu Tinghan knew that he must have forgotten something very important.
When he was a child, he sought help from a doctor, but the doctor couldn’t tell the reason, but said that some people are prone to dreaming, assuming it doesn’t affect their health, it doesn’t matter.
This was not the first strange thing Lu Tinghan encountered.
He was very young when he first entered the military academy, and his talent had already been revealed, so he thought that someone might be willing to break the rules and give him advice.
He went to the military headquarters for the purpose of learning, and wanted to choose a good teacher, but the result was unexpected: the group of senior generals heard that he wanted to find him to learn from him, shaking their heads like rattles and waving their hands again and again.
Lu Tinghan was a little puzzled, and wanted to continue to fight. This time, several people’s faces turned pale with anxiety, and they couldn’t even talk! This is really impossible!
Almost trembling.
Lu Tinghan didn’t find a teacher in the end, but a group of people said that if he wanted to, he could come to communicate and learn from each other at any time.
This can be regarded as achieving the goal.
Lu Tinghan left in a daze.
And when Lu Tinghan was studying history, he also discovered something strange.
There is very little information on one general, who was clearly the most senior commander at the time and participated in the “Deep Dive” project, but he couldn’t even find his name, photo or biography.
He asked a lot of high-level military officials, and their unified answer was: the materials were lost and damaged when they moved to Dunton. It’s a pity, but there is no way.
Lu Tinghan didn’t believe it, but he couldn’t get to the bottom of it.
It wasn’t until he became a major general with high authority that he found clues from the system. Some of the information was locked, and he couldn’t view it in his capacity. He could only see that the locking date was in 330 years of the alliance.
That year was nothing special, Dunton revitalized several new towns, soldiers explored two new areas, and everything went step by step…
If I had to say it, it was the year he was born.
But what does it have to do with this matter?
Lu Tinghan went to ask General Li Cheng.
The old general’s eyes were cloudy, and the skin on his hands was as dry as tree bark.
He smiled and said: “Some things cannot be heard by hearsay, otherwise it will change the taste. You should not be disturbed by these information, nor should you be ‘preset’ to become a certain person. You are you, and you have to make something that belongs to you. s Choice.”
Lu Tinghan was puzzled.
Li Cheng pointed to his chest: “You have to think about it with your heart, this matter is meaningful, it should be… the result he wants to see.” He whispered, “This is the only thing we can do for you. ”
Lu Tinghan asked: “Who is ‘he’?”
Li Cheng just laughed.
Lu Tinghan asked again: “What if I can’t remember?”
“Then forget about it, you can still spend your life in peace.” Li Cheng said, “But you won’t.”
Lu Tinghan didn’t ask why, instead, he was even more puzzled after hearing some mysterious remarks.
For the next six months, Lu Tinghan continued to direct.
The human beings marched forward triumphantly, regained Larsson, and he fought one victory after another.
He still had that strange old dream.
“…Lu Tinghan, are you coming back for dinner tonight?”
“There are so many people on the bus, my tail almost got knotted again.”
“What are camels? I haven’t seen them yet.”
“If only we had a better telescope, maybe we could see the meteor shower.”
“Wow! You find me every time!”
The dream became more and more real.
Just in case, Lu Tinghan visited the doctor several times.
Doctors are the best doctors, and they are highly respected. Lu Tinghan checked repeatedly, and the result was that everything was normal. His mental state
state is stable.
The doctor said: “There are many things we can’t explain, and those unbelievable infection methods are one of them. Besides, you can understand monsters, which is different from the beginning.”
Lu Tinghan frowned slightly: “But…”
“Maybe you have some kind of fate.” The doctor tilted his head and said half-jokingly, “The loved ones will influence each other. It is because of you that you have not been infected, and you have maintained your faith and reason. But this influence And the resonance never disappears, imprinted in the soul.” She added, “Otherwise, how could there be a word called ‘soul mate’, just like love never fades, doesn’t it?”
Lu Tinghan suddenly remembered the dream.
Seeing the snow, the young him walked towards the lonely soul in the world. Or on a tower in a cypress forest, alone, he looks out into the abyss.
At that moment, their souls merged and danced together.
Lu Tinghan still has a lot of confusion.
Every time I discuss it with my peers, they don’t know anything. The older generation seemed to know something, that officers and doctors, friends and strangers, the humble and the arrogant kept their mouths shut.
They put aside each other’s positions, mutual entanglements, and worked together to guard a secret.
Just as no one has ever explained why he had a crystal black crystal in his palm when he was born.
The crystal brilliance flowed, freezing time.
From then on, life and death are connected end to end.
In the blink of an eye, it came to the winter of 353, and Xuejian flowers bloomed on the balconies of every household. Lu Tinghan walked on the street, with shimmering petals falling on his shoulders.
There was a gust of wind, as if someone was whispering.
He looked back to the outside of the city, and suddenly had a very strong feeling that someone was waiting for him.
Lu Tinghan wanted to find him.
Now is the time, he must take him home.
This feeling couldn’t go away, so the people in the military department were surprised to find that Lu Tinghan finally asked for leave. The next afternoon, he drove to the moorland.
The sky in the wilderness is beautiful, with indigo as the curtain, the rich blue and purple are intertwined, twisted, and spread vigorously.
He seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but he knew in his heart that he knew where the end was.
The vehicle drove through dead trees, ferocious boulders, and clusters of weeds rolling in the wind. He didn’t know how many days he had been driving, but he seemed to go to the ends of the earth, and finally he came to a cypress forest.
The woods are so dense that off-road vehicles cannot enter.
Lu Tinghan took his equipment and trekked on foot. Thanks to the success of “Deep Dive”, as long as he brought a small transmitter and sent out the analog signal of No. 1 Abyss, 99% of the monsters would not dare to approach it.
Also relying on this method, people walked out of the city and gradually owned the wilderness.
The cypress forest stands like a scene in a dream—he has looked at the cypress forest in the distance countless times from the high tower. The small monster jumped over the pile of fallen leaves and tilted its head to look at him. A mutated cypress tree stood up with its roots and ran away.
The deeper he went, the faster his heart beat.
What a beautiful day it was, with a clear blue sky and a soft wind in the woods. He stepped through the fine spots of light and walked forward step by step.
Move forward.
Until his eyes suddenly opened up, he saw the sea of flowers all over the mountains and plains.
They flutter in the wind, like snow in a flourishing age.
“Boom—boom—”
“Boom—boom—”
This is his increasingly rapid heartbeat.
He knew that this was what he was looking for.
Lu Tinghan walked quickly across the sea of flowers, and the petals were lifted up by him, flying and circling. Emotions surged in my heart, and scenes of dreams flashed before my eyes: that weird boy, that boy who read with his head propped up, that boy who was thinking hard, that boy who could bend his eyes and smile… In the dream they clasped their hands, They kiss in the sunset, they look at the stars together, and guess what is the end of the universe.
He walked faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally ran! The sea of flowers swayed gracefully, flying past in front of my eyes, at this moment Lu Tinghan remembered everything!
The familiar name was on his lips, and before he could say it, it already made him tremble.
wind
With a whistling sound, Lu Tinghan remembered that the boy told him that human life is limited after all, and he was ready to say goodbye on the first day they met.
However…
Not so!
They are all special, one can understand monsters and read their hearts, and the other can transform into a human form and guide the way home. Even if they have different positions and different ideas, they will always try their best to get closer to each other.
They are each a miracle.
And at the very beginning of the story, it was just the lonely Abyss who wanted to find him. Compared with the grandeur of the world, this is such a small wish.
Perhaps, after mutual influence and soul resonance, they can also become tiny miracles that belong only to each other.
Lu Tinghan thought that the lifespan of the abyss is endless, but as long as this emotion never fades away, then in the long river of time connecting head to tail, he can always think of the past.
again and again.
Come to your side with limited life and give you infinite love.
The wind is blowing, and the petals are all over the sky. Lu Tinghan couldn’t see anything clearly, and he still ran forward with big strides—
The wind stopped for two seconds.
The petals scattered in all directions, and the dome was blue. In the center of the pure white Xuejian flower sea are colorful flowers, roses, baby’s breath, hyacinths, carnations…all blooming together lively.
They have been in bloom for hundreds of years, bright and beautiful.
“…Shiyuan!” Lu Tinghan blurted out.
There was no movement in Huahai.
Lu Tinghan took a few steps forward, and unconsciously his eyes became moist.
“I know you’re here,” he said.
“…”
“Swish-swish–”
“Shushasha—”
“rustle-”
There was a small rubbing sound among the fluffy flowers.
First, a black tail stood up.
It looked confused, flung back and forth, and bent out of question marks.
Then there was another sound of rubbing, and the boy raised his head in the sea of flowers.
The boy seemed to have slept for a long, long time, and had a dream that had been going on for several years. He yawned sleepily, his black hair was slightly disheveled, his face was extremely fair, and several flowers covered his head and clothes.
“…Huh?” He replied in a daze.
Lu Tinghan took half a step forward. Suppressing his choked voice, he said hoarsely, “Shi Yuan, I’m here to take you home.”
Shi Yuan turned to look at Lu Tinghan.
His eyes widened.
The tip of his tail began to wag.
He rushed over with the petals: “Wow!!”
Lu Tinghan opened his arms and hugged him tightly, as if hugging the whole world.
Reunited after a long absence, Shi Yuan’s tail was waving like a colorful flag, and he said, “Lu Tinghan, you found me again!”
His human has always been a human who keeps his promises.
Lu Tinghan hugged the boy tightly.
Tears flowed down his cheeks, but he smiled: “Well, it will always be possible.”
No matter the past, present, or future.
Shi Yuan raised his head again: “Ah! Why are you crying?” He had never seen Lu Tinghan cry like this before, he panicked and reached out to wipe away the tears.
“Because the wind was so strong, it blew pollen into my eyes.”
Shi Yuan asked: “Really?”
Lu Tinghan said: “Fake.” He held Shi Yuan’s hand, lowered his head and kissed him, “…but I love you.”
“Me too!” Shi Yuan’s tail swayed happily, “Then where are we going now!”
“Anywhere.”
“Really?”
Lu Tinghan smiled, and kissed Shiyuan’s forehead again: “I won’t lie to you this time. But, let’s go home together first.”
“Okay!” Shi Yuan suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes.
The little monster and his humans walked out of the sea of flowers and the cypress forest hand in hand.
Monsters run in the wilderness, screaming, chasing, and building soft lairs with fallen leaves. Humans live in full swing in the city, with smoke rising from the kitchen, soldiers ready to go, and countless stories waiting to be written; polar regions, deserts, mountains,
The basin, the boundless ocean and the eternal starry sky, there are too many places worth setting foot and yearning for.
And this is the world they created.
The past is erratic in the wind and clouds, and the long expedition has come to an end, but it is not over yet.
The military uniform is tall and straight, and the tail is wagging.
They go to this flourishing and colorful world.
They will witness it with their own eyes.
