How come it's the end

"Let's make do with this meal, I'll make it for you to eat in the evening." Shi Yu was talking, while naturally pouring the tomatoes and eggs in his own bowl into Xiao Ning's bowl.

Xiao Ning was taken aback, and quickly said that he couldn't eat so much, so Shi Yu gave up.

Bian Lingjie rubbed his hands happily: "Boss, what are you cooking tonight?"

"Oh," Shi Yu said to Bian Lingjie as if he had just remembered, "Change the schedule of the household chores, and you and Yan Shuhe's meals will be taken care of by yourself in the future, and I will only be in charge of Aning's."

Bian Lingjie asked blankly: "Boss, what do you mean, in the future you cook Brother Xiao's meals, but you still eat ours?"

"Hmm." Shiyu replied.

"I... day..." Bian Lingjie was dumbfounded, and he couldn't even find the words to accuse the younger brother of enslaving the younger brother, who valued sex and neglected friends. The boss held back for a long time, and moved to Yan Shuhe's side. This is too much! You have to cook anyway, and every meal has an extra spoonful of rice, don’t you think it’s more delicious to eat together?!”

"I don't think so," Yan Shuhe, holding the pen in one hand, was writing with his head down, without raising his eyelids. After expressing his opinion, Yan Shuhe asked, "Have the dishes been washed?"

Bian Lingjie went back to the kitchen crying and took out the dishwasher.

Taking off the chore list and starting to reschedule the shift, Bian Lingjie frowned unwillingly, her eyes of accusation swept over Shi Yu and Xiao Ning, but when it fell on Xiao Ning, she was obviously more sad.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he ran over holding the housework watch.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao," Bian Lingjie's face was full of hope, "you can cook, you can, you can see that you are a good family man who can't beat the decathlon, even if you can't do such a small thing as cooking You can learn it. Besides, it’s the end of the day, you can eat as long as you can, and you don’t need any master level, you see..."

Shi Yu bit off the noodles and turned to look at him.

"Yes, yes, but..." Under Bian Lingjie's suddenly shining eyes, Xiao Ning coughed lightly to hold back a laugh, and looked up at Shiyu, "How about this, Xiaoyu and I take care of each other, Xiaobian, you and Lao Yan Let's solve it together."

Hopes were shattered in an instant, but getting rid of the free-eating boss (time language: ???) was considered a phased victory. Bian Lingjie cried and changed shifts, berated the boss for his ruthlessness, and yelled at Xiao Ning: "Brother Xiao You really don’t have to be so considerate, the boss has no sense of taste at all, you just cut the grass outside and wash it clean, and he will eat it happily after boiling water..."

Feeling the strange silence, Bian Lingjie lowered his voice slowly, looked up at Xiao Ning's face, realized something, and asked cautiously: "...Uh, Brother Xiao, don't you know?"

I don't know, Xiao Ning thought.

This person personally cooked steak and boiled soup for him last night. His skills were no worse than that of a chef in a big restaurant. To his imagination, Shiyu himself had no sense of taste.

Shi Yu ate the noodles with his head down, stopped his chopsticks, and said, "Get lost."

Bian Lingjie hugged the housework watch and left mellowly.

Xiao Ning looked at Shi Yu, Shi Yu pointed to his half bowl of noodles left, and said, "If you don't eat any more, it will be cold."

Xiao Ning responded, picked up a piece of tomato with his chopsticks, and called out softly: "Time language."

When the words turned away, Xiao Ning sent the tomato over, the other party was taken aback for a moment, bit it obediently, chewed and swallowed it.

Xiao Ning put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hands, one left and one right, and pinched Shi Yu's cheek.

"You bastard," he said, "what hotel ice cream tastes so good, you've got it right, idiot, you just kidnapped dad to get a room!"

Shi Yu blinked, and pinched quietly and obediently. As soon as Xiao Ning let go, he leaned over and pecked Xiao Ning's lips.

Licking his lips, he smiled and said, "Sweet."

"Hold on! Hold on..." The marshmallow filled half of the oil, and was discouraged, "Forget you, you hot chicken, hold on to a ghost."

Ignoring the system, Xiao Ning stood up, straddled Shi Yu's lap, wrapped his arms around each other's neck, the two looked at each other for a moment, approached each other in unison, kissed deeply, and exchanged deep and shallow kisses.

Fortunately, the lower limit of the two of them has not yet dropped to the point where they can have a direct sex in an open restaurant. After being tired of it for a while, they finally remembered to eat.

The two bowls of noodles that were so cold in the cold palace were eaten up thanks to Dade, Bian Lingjie yelled that the dog's eyes were blind, and turned around somewhere, and came back with an extra pair of welding goggles on his head, cleaning up the restaurant .

Xiao Ning followed Shi Yu and sat on the sofa in the living room. After a while, Bian Lingjie joined in.

Shi Yu was the first to speak, and asked, "Do you have any idea why the mutants appear?"

Yan Shuhe stared at his red eyes, and stuffed a few coffee-flavored refreshing chewable tablets into his mouth with a dull expression. After feeling a little more refreshed, he replied: "There are not enough samples, and no actual conclusion can be drawn at this stage. But basically Exclude sudden evolution, unknown radiation, and outflow of biochemical experimental research results."

Caught a bird's nest even more chaotically, following the narration, Yan Shuhe's face showed enthusiasm for the unknown: "Mutants are not exactly the same as zombies in the traditional concept, and the speed of mutants is greatly enhanced. It is vision and smell, hearing is slightly weaker, and the most important thing is that the alienation itself is not contagious!"

"If alienation is regarded as a new type of disease, all diseases that have erupted on a large scale from ancient times to the present and once threatened the entire human race all have the prerequisite of being extremely contagious."

Immersed in the elaboration of the inference, Yan Shuhe's speech speed gradually accelerated, but it was still clear and orderly.

"A disease that cannot be re-infected, how did it suddenly explode on a large scale, what was the original source of infection, and how did it appear, and what common characteristics did the infected have..."

The more Yan Shuhe talked, the more excited he became, his whole body was trembling, his hands were rubbing his hair fiercely, and he wished he could rush back to the laboratory and start researching immediately.

Shi Yu snapped his fingers, a small piece of ice pressed Yan Shuhe's head, and Yan Shuhe was slightly taken aback.

Bian Lingjie hugged the cushion and laughed, Shiyu pointed out: "It's off topic."

"...Sorry, I was too excited." Yan Shuhe apologized, took out the towel prepared in advance, wrapped ice cubes on his forehead to cool down his brain.

Shi Yu rested his right hand on his knee, tapped his fingers lightly, and was thinking rapidly in his mind.

"Since it is not contagious, why do we have to bring alienation into the virus?" he said.

Yan Shuhe frowned, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.

"I don't understand the research issues, and this is not an academic seminar."

Using the laptop on the coffee table to connect to the projector, Shiyu got up and turned off the lights, and opened several folders one after another.

"This is the city's data after the emergence of mutants that I collected by Lingjie," he said, "Pearl City has a population of 30, and about 200% of them are mutants; the military region has 27 soldiers, and more than half of them are alienated; [-] people, [-] mutants, and all of them are low-level and newcomers; the number of followers of the holy order is hard to count, but you can see that they almost emptied the entire city's supplies in one day, and they still have leisure time to expand their power. You know that there are almost no loss."

"Don't you think the bias of alienated people from different groups of people is too obvious? What is this? Strengthen your body to prevent colds, and alienation favors ordinary people?" Shi Yu asked with a smile.

"You missed the supernatural being." Yan Shuhe said.

"Counting Aning and me, there are currently four supernatural beings in Mingzhu City, and there is no alienation," Shi Yu replied, "I don't know about other places, and the empire is very strict on the news of supernatural beings. But I think, Like every organization, at most some low-level supernatural beings will be alienated, and the proportion will not be too high."

Yan Shuhe stared at the projection screen, took off the towel on his forehead, and asked, "Do you have data for other cities? It doesn't need to be too detailed, but the more the better."

Shiyu helped him flip through the documents, and the two simply sat together and chatted a few words from time to time.

The lonely Bian Lingjie moved towards the idle Xiao Ning, opened a bag of plums, and handed it over secretly.

There was a rattling sound behind him, Shiyu turned his head, and speechlessly saw the two heads put together, almost getting into the snack bag.

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Ning patted Bian Lingjie.

Bian Lingjie turned his head and swallowed the Huamei Lianhe, and expressed his condolences with a smile on his face: "Oh, boss, you have been chatting for a long time, are you tired or hungry? Let me pour you a glass of water." ?”

"Coke." Yan Shu, who stared at the information with bright eyes, ordered the order without looking back.

Bian Lingjie dropped the snacks and rushed into the kitchen. Xiao Ning picked up a plum and put it in his mouth, raising his eyebrows at Shiyu.

Shi Yu's eyes flickered, and he leaned over, talking to Mei and half of each other, and both of them were a little out of breath after eating.

The single dog came back with three bottles of mineral water and a bottle of Coke, looked at Shi Yu licking the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Xiao Ning with red ears, and cried with a bark.

Yan Shuhe took the Coke, drank half of the bottle in one breath, exhaled, and said to Shi Yu: "A large number of civilians died, and the state machinery could not function normally. On the contrary, the underground organizations were less affected, and the deterrence of the empire is weakening. , the world is about to be chaotic.”

Shiyu nodded, moved the cursor, and slid across the vast territory of the empire: "The Vientiane Magic Troupe, which inherits the ancient magic of Dongyang Prefecture, and the Wings of Light, an underground organization of supernatural beings in Xihan Prefecture who are unwilling to obey the orders of the empire, have a wide range of influence. The whole country’s Ye Mo and Holy Jurisdiction have been dissatisfied for a long time with the dictatorship of the top of the empire, and Obscure Star is neutral, but according to his consistent behavior style, maybe it will become the key point of the situation?”

Xiao Ning was engrossed in listening to this, and also deeply sighed, as if he was not living in the same world as a human being.

Looking at this long list of resistance organizations that he had never heard of before, why did he feel that the society was booming and people's lives were healthy, and the rule of the empire was as stable as Mount Tai?

Xiao Ning said: "Hearing what you said, why do I feel that this doomsday is like a terrorist attack intentionally launched by some resistance organization in order to create chaos and weaken the empire's strength?"

No one said a word, Xiao Ning looked at everyone's expressions, he was a little calm.

"You actually have such sharp moments!" Marshmallow was shocked.

"...Fuck!" Compared to the competition of multiple forces, Xiao Ning felt that it was easier to simply beat up zombies.

Bian Lingjie held French fries and clicked: "Boss, mouse, look at his courage, the checks and balances you two have been working on all day are weak, and you have been plotting for so long, and the time is still 'immature'. I understand, as long as you understand, you should be dumbfounded now, let's stop cooking!"

Yan Shuhe waved his hand, and the towel wrapped in ice cubes hit Bian Lingjie's nose accurately, and the attacker screamed and fell down.

Shi Yu said: "It is difficult to communicate in various places now, and it is difficult to inquire about many situations. Otherwise, after confirming the losses of each organization in detail, combined with the latest trends, it is not difficult to guess which party wrote it."

Bian Lingjie put an ice towel on the bridge of the attacked nose, and raised her hand: "The holy judge is the most jumpy, I vote for the holy judge. This kind of person who advertises himself as the truth, kindness and beauty is found to be behind the scenes, isn't it a standard ending?"

Shi Yu looked left and right, grabbed a bag of peanuts and patted him on the forehead: "The holy judge wants you to jump? Go eat and don't talk!"

After staying up for two nights with a high degree of concentration, Yan Shuhe's physical strength and energy were exhausted. The effect of the refreshing potion wore off, and his eyelids were clenched. He leaned on the sofa on his back and fell asleep unconsciously.

Shi Yu also got up and stretched himself, announcing the end of the meeting, saying: "Lingjie moved the books and returned to the room, and continued to collect news outside of Mingzhu City, no matter how big or small, don't miss everything, I will sort it out later."

After unscrewing the mineral water bottle and taking a sip, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Ning: "A-Ning, follow me, do me a little favor."

Bian Lingjie was having sex and trying to lift Yan Shuhe, who was 10cm taller than him. Hearing this sentence, he sighed and continued: "That's what the boss told me back then, 'Lingjie, come and do me a little favor'."

"It's been five years. I've been working so hard, and I haven't finished my work until today. Brother Xiao, tell me, when will this day end!" He cried bitterly.

"Get out!" Shi Yu scolded.

"Go away, go away." Bian Lingjie turned around and ran upstairs with Yan Shuhe on his shoulders.

Xiao Ning lowered his head and laughed muffledly, held Shi Yu's hand, was pulled by the other party, and stood up with his strength.
