take care of

In the silent night, the fire and the loud noise came at the same time.Countless birds flew away screaming and fluttering.

There was only one loud noise, and an orange-red fire rose from the ground in an instant, which seemed to be mixed with a strange metallic blue, which was fleeting.In the almost completely collapsed brick building, experimenters in white coats kept running out, covering their noses and mouths. The security personnel who rushed over were stopped outside the iron fence. Someone explained something to them, and the security personnel abandoned the scene of the fire. , drove towards the only way to leave.The sound of fire trucks was faintly heard from far away, and the panic that had never appeared before appeared on the faces of those experimenters who had just escaped.

"Stop those cars! The explosion is coming anytime soon! Move now!" a young man yelled in English.

The people in the venue seemed to have regained the will to organize. The crowd who were about to get together shouted loudly and ran in all directions, trying to do what they could.Someone dragged out a box of heavy objects from a house where there was no fire, and a corner was accidentally knocked open by the steps, and ultra-light aluminum flew out of it, covering the sky and the earth like ghost paper.

"Someone help!" he yelled.

One hand stretched out from the other side of the car door, holding the box firmly, and the other hand followed and pressed the box lid tightly.

"Don't panic."

The man's voice seemed like frost falling from the sky in a fire. The man who had just panicked couldn't help but nodded, and then looked suspiciously at the man wearing the mask.

"I'm Gu Qing, don't panic, abide by the principle of relocation in times of crisis, and evacuate in an orderly manner."

After saying this, he continued to go retrograde with the crowd, walking quickly towards the source of the disaster.

"Professor Gu is back!" The man quickly walked towards the organizers in the field, his words were full of awe.

"He's not going—where is he?" The young man grabbed his arm, squinting ahead.

In the chaos, a slightly tall man wrapped in a dark blue windbreaker walked quickly, and was about to reach the scene of the fire.

"In—" The man stretched out his hand to search among the heads of many people.

"You're busy, I saw it." The young man patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the ruins very quickly.

"Professor Gu? When did you come back?" He blocked Gu Qing's way with his hand.

"Just got off the plane," Gu Qing firmly pushed his hand away without looking sideways, "Take care of yourself."

"Don't be in danger, metal explosion, already, already...you..." He began to speak repeatedly, his arm still insisted on stopping Gu Qing.

"I want to see." Gu Qing took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on skillfully, and took another step forward.

"Owl and his wife mishandled the liquid metal, just the two of them," the man seemed to beg, "everyone else is safe, you don't go through."

Lu Qing stopped in his tracks, frowning and looking at the ruins that were close at hand.

The young man was secretly looking at him from the corner of his eye.The blazing fire seemed to be filled with anger and fear. In Gu Qing's eyes, it turned into a frame frozen in ice. It was lifelike, but it also lost its frightening power.He found a sense of security from this cruel scene, smoothed his thoughts, and quickly explained the cause and effect to Lu Qing:

"We should wait for you to come back from Berlin, but the progress of the experiment has not been fast enough, and the two of them are also very anxious. In the afternoon, they kicked us out..."

"Tell the people in each group, don't decide for yourself in the future." When he was organizing his words, Gu Qing stretched out his hand and pressed down his raised arm.

"Yes," the man seemed to see the hope of dissuading him, "You go away first, it won't help if you go in now, your importance..."

Gu Qing glanced at him, and finally ordered: "Go away."

The young man subconsciously made way for him. Gu Qing stretched his long legs and stepped onto the platform of the original brick building in a few steps. With a flash of his clothes, he had already walked into the ruins.

"Professor Gu!" The young man whispered, and followed quickly.

The laboratory that was almost razed to the ground was dead silent, there was no breath of living things, only the wreckage left after the explosion, and the liquid metal that the explosion could not destroy.They splashed all over the ruins, and the little silver lights were like animal eyes shining in the dark forest, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"Professor Gu, be careful of metal infection."

Gu Qing nodded, and walked towards the only bump in the room.He couldn't see in detail in the dark, so he squatted down and groped in the ruins. After removing some cement blocks, his gloves were quickly soaked with blood.He raised his hand and frowned, lightly brushed the man's slashed back, and then forcefully lifted the lifeless flesh.The man's front face was even more miserable, his bare skin glowed with a strange silvery white of metal pollution, and his handsome face seemed to be wearing a very fitting mask, completely retaining the man's expression of remorse at the last moment.

"Owl," the young man choked out.

Gu Qing nodded again, and then took off the gloves.

"No."

"What are you afraid of, these metals have found parasites."

He gently brushed aside the black hair of the woman protected by the owl.The woman was much less impacted by the explosion, but unfortunately she was also infected by the metal, those silvery white metals frantically tearing apart her few remaining lives like the fangs of a wild beast.Lu Qing squeezed the scalpel through his pocket, finally sighed, and sat on the ground.

"Nona." Gu Qing put her head on his knee.

"Is anyone there?" She squinted her eyes and tried her best to reach Gu Qing's hand on her forehead, "My child..."

"it is good."

"East of the city."

"Okay." Lu Qing gently tapped her forehead with his knuckles.

"Tell Professor Gu Qing that I'm sorry."

"I'm here." Gu Qing lowered his body, pulled off the mask that had been hanging on his face, revealing half of his face with stubble.

In the darkness, the only glimmer of light was blocked by Gu Qing's arms. She was seriously injured and couldn't see Gu Qing's face, so she probably couldn't hear his answer.She blinked lightly, her lost eyes fell on the unrecognizable lover slanting forward, as if she had the last bit of strength, she slightly moved her hands and reached out to him.

Gu Qing took a step on his knees and hugged her to the side of the owl, and fixed her hair.She leaned against Lu Qing's hand, glanced at the wall behind her, and smiled weakly.

"Look, it's Xinghe." She said affectionately.

Gu Qing turned his head and looked back, there was a wall behind them that hadn't collapsed, much more silver-white metal liquid adhered to the wall behind them than in the ruins, trying to flicker and try to get together, like the stars in the sky , infinite vitality.Those metals in active form were extremely dazzling light sources to ordinary people, but they became something she could barely see clearly.

Lu Qing took the hands of their husband and wife, folded them between his own hands, and pressed them gently.The young man who had been following him stepped back a few steps to make room for him.The footsteps in the distance were very noisy. People after the disaster were busy with their respective tasks, and no one paid attention to the farewell above the ruins.

"I will take care of him and protect him until I die." Lu Qing's tone was unprecedentedly gentle and firm: "I will let him see the real Galaxy."

She should have been completely deaf, Lu Qing took out a hand and tapped her forehead lightly twice.

"Bah." Something in the ruins behind him was on fire again, and a burst of hot air hit, Gu Qing straightened his back, blocking the last trace of cruelty in the world.

"The truth will remember your contributions."

She moved her fingers.

After this simple movement, Nona lost her last breath.Lu Qing held her in his arms, wiped her untouched face with a handkerchief, and then folded their hands together again.In the past few minutes, the silver-white metal glowing with blue light covered the arms and fingers of the two of them, covering their wedding rings.Eventually the metals would cover both of their bodies, filling their internal organs like an unstoppable virus.

"Professor, I'm leaving." The person next to me reminded.

Gu Qing nodded, raised his hand and grabbed the necklace around the woman's neck, and pulled it out.He looked at it against the firelight, and there was a photo of a baby inside. It looked like a boy with light blue eyes and a slight tilt of his head with a smile.

"Professor Gu, let go."

Gu Qing still nodded with a good temper.Nothing here can be taken away, and everything must be buried on the spot to avoid any possible metal pollution.He pulled out the photo from the interlayer and stuffed it into the pocket of his windbreaker.

"Leon." Lu Qing read the name softly.

"Who do you want to find?" the person next to him immediately asked.

"Find someone very important." Gu Qing answered seriously.

The man froze for a moment, lowered his head and asked obediently, "Who is it? Please let me help you."

"No need." Lu Qing shook his head, and asked as he walked out, "Are you Chinese? What's your name?"

"Tao Henghuan, native of Fujian." The young man pushed his glasses and quickly answered: "The people in the group do brain nerve expansion."

"You know Owl personally?"

"He is a brother who is a few years older than me. He often mentions you to me and introduces me to come here for an internship. After I officially join the job, I still want to—" He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Does he have any children?" Lu Qing thought for a while and asked calmly.

"I don't know." He shook his head first, then seemed to think of something, and replied: "He seems to have things other than work these past few years, and it's almost impossible to contact him on rest days."

"I'm going to Bremen once." Gu Qing stood up, "I'll leave it to you to handle the relocation of the laboratory to Celle."

"How long are you going?" The young man followed closely.

Lu Qing shook his head: "Maybe within a month." He paused and handed him a note: "The above is my phone number, please tell me any information about the owl child as soon as possible."

"Professor Gu, my senior brother..."

"If you are sad, just cry." Gu Qing looked at him pityingly, "Don't suppress your emotions, you will get sick."

"I should stop them from experimenting." He tried his best to maintain his dignity, and after a long time, he said such a sentence.

"Even if I'm here, this experiment has to be done." Gu Qing sighed softly: "It's a pity that human beings can't stand in the future to guide the present."

"The truth is what people are chasing, and they can't stop." Tao Henghuan recited.

"The owl told you?"

"Well," he nodded, "I like that line."

"It was my teacher's advice to me." Gu Qing said to him, "Just listen to it as a maxim. Live hard and don't carry such a heavy burden."

"Yes."

"The cemetery of the two of them is set up here. If I can't come back in time, please act as an agent. The fee is here." Gu Qing handed him a credit card, "Please keep the children strictly confidential. Thank you."
