[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, there was a heavy rain. Fortunately, Tang Rui was well prepared and moved everything into a shelter from the rain. Even the assembled car was covered with a rain cloth.

The rainstorm came and went quickly. The next morning, it really cleared up, but the water was filled and there were large and small pits. As you can imagine, the road in the forest was even more muddy and difficult to walk.

A group of people loaded all kinds of materials into the car in an orderly manner, wrapped them tightly with ropes and raincloths, and kept those that could not be taken away in the basement, plus the one that Tang Rui assembled at the beginning, eight strange-shaped cars Form a convoy and set off.

This time, Tang Rui brought a compass. Although it is very old, it is the most suitable for identifying directions in a place like the earth.

Feng Lang was very worried that his team leader would be with Tang Rui, but when Chen Xi's team was marching, the team leader led the way and the vice-captain stayed behind, so he could only get into another car full of resentment—by the way, It happened to be the one that Tang Rui thought was "very suitable" yesterday, and I don't know if it was on purpose.

Su Yingtang was protected in the middle of the team with his large pile of medical equipment - everyone knew that only with Su Yingtang's presence could the team's survivability be guaranteed, so it was a key protection area.

The car assembled by Tang Rui himself was not big because it was urgently needed at the time. After loading the necessary supplies, there were only four places left.

It was just right to pull Zhou Yuze, and Jiang Mi and Li Qi, who are more familiar, by the way.

There are advantages to being small, especially for exploring the way.

The driver was Jiang Mi, who was careful and careful. Because of the huge size of the trees, the distance between the trees was very far. Although the road was muddy, it was still much more convenient than walking on the whole, and he could carry so many supplies.

Tang Rui sat in the second row with Zhou Yuze in his arms, and compared the positions with the compass and the map—an antique map found in the library. Basically, it remains the same, only a small number of areas are affected by crustal changes such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

There is a communicator on his right hand, but there is no one answering it all the time.

"How long will it take?" Zhou Yuze also leaned over to look at the map.

"If it goes well, it will take ten days and a half a month, but it will be more troublesome when crossing the ocean." Tang Rui pointed to the map to confirm the route without raising his head, and then clicked on a location above, "We should be Near here, you can reach this place tonight... There used to be a city, but now there are probably only ruins left, but it is safer than spending the night in the forest."

"En." Zhou Yuze responded.

"Anything to add?" Tang Rui asked after a pause.

"Can you build a ship?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"No need." Tang Rui couldn't help laughing, "Although these cars are not very good-looking, but the core drive is mecha, how can they not cross the sea, when the time comes to connect them together with steel cables, as long as there is no big wind and waves, it should be fine .”

"Oh..." Zhou Yuze blinked and fell silent again.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rui couldn't help sighing when he felt his depression.This child is good at everything, but he is too restrained. Do you want to try to correct him?

"Senior is very powerful." Zhou Yuze lowered his eyes slightly.

"Worship?" Tang Rui said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, if you want the captain to worship you, unless you are Ye Ling!" Li Qi in the passenger seat turned around and smiled.

"Shut up!" Zhou Yuze glared at him.

Li Qi stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.He could tell if his captain was really angry.

"Senior, I..." Zhou Yuze frowned, tilted his head, and seemed to want to say something, trying to organize his words, but the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't speak.

"I know." Tang Rui smiled and tapped his lips.

Zhou Yuze let out a breath and slowly relaxed.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Tang was senior Ye Ling's mechanic before he retired?" Li Qi simply turned around and talked on the back of the chair with a curious expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Well... what kind of person is Senior Ye Ling?" Li Qi raised her hand and asked.

In an instant, not only Zhou Yuze looked over, but even Jiang Mi who was driving the car subconsciously pricked up his ears.

"This..." Tang Rui rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and smiled, "It's better not to say anything."

"Hey?" Li Qi wailed, "Why?"

"The reason why idols are beautiful is because the distance is too far, so what I see is the best side." Tang Rui said lightly, "Ye Ling has long been gone, so he is closer to a myth in the hearts of you younger generations. ——Everything I say is discrediting the myth, why bother.”

"Mr. Tang, can't you tell us how powerful Senior Ye Ling was in the war?" Li Qi said unwillingly.

"He can't beat Xiao Zhou." Tang Rui glanced at the people around him and said slowly.

"How is it possible?" Li Qi was stunned, and blurted out, but the next moment she felt something was wrong, and hurried to remedy it, "Well, captain, I'm not saying you're not good, no, I'm saying..."

"How do you know?" Zhou Yuze ignored him at all, but turned to look at Tang Rui instead.

If he had heard someone say that before, he would not have believed it, but... before the mission, Zuo Shaobai's words were clearly in his ears, but now, even Tang Rui said that?

"On the way to Earth, I added some common sense to the Dawn Squad. I've seen your battle video." Tang Rui explained.

"Oh." Zhou Yuze was a little happy for no reason, he felt that it was probably because of the affirmation of the person he cared about.

"You don't seem surprised?" Tang Rui looked a little strange at his reaction.

"Major General Zuo said the same thing." Zhou Yuze said.

"Zuo Shaobai?" Tang Rui frowned, thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Well, I can probably think of what he would say."

"I still have a lot to learn." Zhou Yuze emphasized his tone with a serious face.

Even though both Zuo Shaobai and Tang Rui think that he has defeated Ye Ling now, Zuo Shaobai also said at the same time that war is never a fair thing - he still has to work hard to catch up with Ye Ling even if it is not fair. Senior Ye Ling.

Tang Rui looked at him, pondered for a while before saying: "I have a notebook of Ye Ling - after you go back, come and get it."

"Really?" Zhou Yuze opened his eyes wide with surprise.

"Hmm." Tang Rui had a trace of regret the moment he said the words, but seeing his excited expression again, that trace of regret quickly dissipated.

Perhaps, this decision is correct, he comforted himself in his heart.

"Wow, senior Ye Ling's notes!" Li Qi stared, her face full of nympho.

"No, Xiao Zhou, you can come to my house to see, you can't take it away." Tang Rui's face darkened, and he immediately added.

"Okay." Zhou Yuze nodded.He really doesn't mind if he can take it away, not to mention, if you watch it at Tang Rui's house, it happens to be with the senior justifiably.

"Why is this?" Li Qi complained.

"Mr. Tang..." Even Jiang Mi couldn't help but speak.

"Let Xiao Zhou copy a copy for you." Tang Rui closed his eyes.

"En." Zhou Yuze nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" The two immediately beamed with joy.As for why they couldn't take it away and asked Zhou Yuze to copy a copy, they could understand it. After all, Ye Ling's notes were too precious, and it was normal for Tang Rui to be reluctant to lend them or be afraid of damage. Anyway, what they cared most about was the content.

"Look ahead!" Tang Rui reprimanded as he knocked on Li Qi's forehead.

"Oh." Li Qi also knew her responsibilities, so she quickly sat upright after her errand, and together with Jiang Mi, she was alert to the situation ahead.

Tang Rui curled his lips, put down the map and compass, and carried Zhou Yuze over.

"Senior?" Zhou Yuze looked at him puzzled.

"Rest." Tang Rui spit out two words, and forced him on his knee.

"I'm not sleepy." Zhou Yuze blushed, struggling to get up.

"Resources are limited, I didn't take anti-shock measures, and it's not comfortable to sit on, and it's a physical test to stay in the car for a day." Tang Rui pressed him, "In order to deal with the danger that may arise at any time, I hope that as a mecha master, You conserve your strength."

"I see." Zhou Yuze paused before answering, but he became quiet.

Jiang Mi and Li Qi in the front want to cry but have no tears... Mecha master?Are they okay too?Because they came with the rescue team, their mechs were of course capable of fighting.Commander, you are treated differently!

"Be careful!" Tang Rui reminded.

"Yes..." Li Qi agreed weakly.

Tang Rui moved, making Zhou Yuze lie on his lap more comfortably, stroking his soft hair with one hand, smiling and narrowing his eyes.

Discrimination?so what.

As the old saying goes, if you come from thousands of miles to be an official, it is only for power and money, and it also said that if you don’t have the right to use it, it will become invalid after the expiration date!If he can't even use power for personal gain, what kind of commander is he?

Of course... If you tell Zuo Shaobai about these psychological activities, he will probably be thrown out of the office by him--speaking of which, doesn't Zuo Shaobai really know?

Tang Rui touched his nose, feeling very at ease.

"Beep... Kacha!" Suddenly, the communicator that had been being fiddled with at the side went through.

"Stop!" Tang Rui straightened his back and shouted loudly, even Zhou Yuze jumped up.

After a moment of confusion, the convoy stopped in the woods.

"What's going on?" Feng Lang, who quickly put on guard, ran over from behind.

Tang Rui didn't have time to answer him, and carefully adjusted the communicator.

Zhou Yuze watched his movements nervously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.If they contact the Earth Research Institute or the Iris here, they won't have to risk crossing half the world!

"Squeak - rustle..." There was a slight voice from the communicator.

Tang Rui frowned, waved for everyone to be quiet, and then carefully distinguished the voices.

After about ten seconds, there was only a "click", and the communication was disconnected again.

"This..." Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"It really worked just now?" Feng Lang doubted.

"It works!" Tang Rui nodded, very sure.

"So, it's the aftermath of the electromagnetic storm, can't you hear the people over there?" Feng Lang asked again.

"This doesn't sound like radio waves." Tang Rui mused.

"It sounds like something is crawling." Zhou Yuze quietly interjected.

"Yes." Tang Rui was startled, and then affirmed his judgment.

"I think... this shouldn't be a horror movie." Li Qi said weakly.

"The time is too short, I can't hear you clearly." Tang Rui sighed, and let go of the communicator that could not be connected again, but the ominous premonition that had been suppressed in his heart for the past few days was even heavier.

I'm afraid that my conjecture has been confirmed. There has indeed been a huge change in the institute, and it is very likely that the safe zone is no longer safe-but even so, they have to go.

If the communication is still available, it means that the equipment of the research institute is still in good condition. This is their only choice if they cannot contact the Iris.

"What should I do?" Zhou Yuze asked Tang Rui habitually.

"Go ahead!" Tang Rui thought for a while and made a decision.

In any case, as a commander, the most taboo thing is to be indecisive. Now that you have made a plan and there is no better way, then... you can only keep going.
