To my frozen hometown

Chapter 99 The Expectation of Inheritance

"Can we really eat all of these?" In the ecological garden, a female mercenary looked at the fruit in front of her and asked hesitantly.

The mercenaries on both sides also looked at each other in blank dismay. Although the income of mercenaries was not low, fruit was also considered a luxury item for them.

After learning that these mercenaries were a material delivery team sent by the greenhouse, the old man invited them all in, and asked Liu Yuan to hold a banquet with fruits and vegetables together.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving here anyway. It's a waste if you don't eat these things. I don't know how long it will take until the greenhouse comes to recycle them." Looking at the hesitation of the mercenaries, the old man said with a smile , and ate a thumb-sized fruit first.

"Then I won't be polite." With the old man's affirmation again, a male mercenary at the table finally smiled heartily, and reached out to pick up a tableware that was a little too clean in his eyes.

In fact, he couldn't wait to try these rare things.

"Howard, please be a little more polite." The mercenary captain sitting on the side looked at his subordinates and said with a dark face.

"What's the matter, didn't this gentleman say to eat whatever you want?" The mercenary named Howard had already stuffed several pieces of cut fruit into his mouth at this time, so that the sound he made was a little vague .

"Then please maintain some basic etiquette."

"Okay, okay, don't be so serious, Randolph. Try this, I promise, it's much more delicious than those nutritional pills we usually take."

Captain Landoch wanted to say something, but the next moment, a small tomato was stuffed into his mouth.

As the peel and flesh split, the slightly sour sweet pulp flowed in his mouth.This is an irresistible temptation for a person who is used to eating jerky every day to fill his stomach.

"Hmm." Following the ups and downs of his Adam's apple, Landoch stopped talking, just lowered his head silently, and ate what was in front of him.

Counting it carefully, we can find that there are a total of 11 people in this hirer's team, and their arrival made this supposedly quiet observation station a lot more lively.

Especially after they gradually get used to the environment and open their hearts.

The sounds of joking, chatting, and snatching all rang out at the dining table all of a sudden, one after another.

The old man looked at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face all the time. He didn't know how long he hadn't felt this kind of excitement, this feeling of being in the crowd.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he really seemed to have been separated from the crowd for too long.

"That." Suddenly, a timid voice came from the old man's side.

The old man turned his head and saw a mercenary girl with short hair.

"Please, can I take pictures?" The young mercenary nervously held a camera in his hand and asked the old man carefully.

"Oh." The old man smiled knowingly, nodded, and said, "Of course, please feel free, lovely lady."

The mercenary girl blushed at what the old man said, then bowed slightly, ran aside excitedly, and took photos of the fruits on the dinner plate and the plants in the ecological garden.

A girl who looked a little indifferent appeared beside Al. She and Al were squatting next to a flowerbed, observing the flowers and plants inside.

The rest of the men didn't have so many delicate thoughts. They sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing, and scrambling for each other's food, with a few words of thanks to the old man in between.

The scene was a bit chaotic, and shame was certain, but it wasn't enough to make people feel dissatisfied.

After all, behind the seemingly bold actions of the mercenaries, there is still a trace of propriety, at least not too much, and they always maintain basic respect for the elderly.

"By the way, Mr. Azttod, you just said that you are leaving here, right?"

Amidst the noise, the mercenary captain Landoqi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked the old man.

As for the old man's name, he learned it from the chat just now.

"That's right." Regarding Landoqi's question, the old man did not hide much, but gave an affirmative answer with a smile.

"Then may I ask, why?" Landoch's eyes were a little puzzled. In his opinion, this was obviously a unilateral decision made by the old man, otherwise the greenhouse would not let them continue to deliver supplies.

Of course, so far this observatory has given him far more doubts than this. Whether it is the place where only three people live in Nuo Da, or the botanical garden in front of him, there are too many things that he can't figure out .

If he hadn't secretly confirmed the safety issue when he came in, and saw the name tag with a photo on the old man's chest, he would even doubt the old man's identity.

"This." The old man paused for a while, then shook his head with a chuckle: "Do you know what this observatory is used for?"

"Hmm..." Landoch frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the old man uncertainly, and said, "Observe the weather?"

"No." The old man sat on his seat and waved his hand gently.

"It is used to observe astronomical planets. The greenhouse wants to find a way for human beings to travel in space through here. And I can leave now. What does this mean? I don't think I need more Explain it?"

The conversation between the old man and Landoch attracted the attention of most people at the table, so as the old man's voice fell, the noise at the table fell silent for a moment.

Everyone heard the old man's voice clearly, so they all heard that sentence clearly.

I can leave now.

As relatively well-informed mercenaries, they basically knew what space represented, it was a place above the sky.

Where the stars are within reach and everything is possible.

"So, what do you mean..." After a while of silence, Landoch opened his mouth slightly and asked slowly.

Even he himself didn't realize that he had subconsciously changed the name of the old man.

"I have discovered the path that allows human beings to survive in space." The old man nodded and calmly gave a reply.

"..."

"Oh my god, that means I might be able to take a trip into space in my lifetime?"

"Is it really possible to touch the stars there?"

"It's unbelievable. I once read a book, which requires at least tens of thousands of exclusion checks."

The silence at the dining table was suddenly broken by a more complicated voice.

Looking at the excitement and joy on the faces of the mercenaries, the old man felt as if he saw himself who first discovered the human evacuation plan back then.

Yes, yes, the old man thought so.

This is what I am for, this is what I am looking forward to.

What I do is for the present, people's imagination for the future.

For this reason, I am willing to give everything I have, even if it takes a period of time comparable to a lifetime, I just hope that this expectation will not be cut off.
