16 years

Feng Lei and the others finally chose to believe in Liu Ruosong's judgment.

Planning is part of being away from home, but so is luck and intuition.Before departure, they made a backup plan. If they found that the cooling was not enough or the Bering Sea was not completely frozen, they had to go back the same way and wait for the next step.

But Fu Yan and the others knew that once Feng Lei and the others set out, they would not turn back easily.

Because of the change in the action plan, in order to ensure safety, Feng Lei left his chief of staff on Wrangel Island to do logistics work, and decided to personally lead the team to the Bering Sea.

The shortest straight-line distance across the Bering Sea is not on Wrangel Island, so Feng Lei and the others need to set off immediately to the predetermined location.

In front of the sea-crossing bridge to the neighboring country, Fu Yan and Feng Lei looked at each other, couldn't help but take a step forward, and hugged each other for a moment.

Liu Ruosong stood ten meters behind Fu Yan, did not step forward, but just watched his back quietly.

"Captain Fu." Feng Lei let go of him, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Let's meet face to face."

"See you face to face." Fu Yan said.

Feng Lei didn't say anything more, he turned his back, shouted at the top of his voice and set off.

The yelling of this northern man has a taste of dialect, which looks a bit desolate in the ice and snow.

The convoy quickly turned on the lights one by one, and went up the cross-sea bridge. Feng Lei did not turn on the communication, but stretched out his hand from the co-pilot window of the command car, shook it in mid-air, and made a goodbye gesture .

When the convoy was far away and even the taillights of the last car disappeared into the night, Liu Ruosong walked forward slowly and walked to Fu Yan's side.

"Captain Feng—" Liu Ruosong said, "He is a smart and good man."

After a few lifetimes, Liu Ruosong has a good impression of this field commander.He is not tactful in dealing with things, but he has his own set of standards for doing things. He does not fight or grab. Apart from issues of principle, he is also willing to turn a blind eye.

What happened to Shao Qiu was strange, Liu Ruosong thought about it afterwards, and felt that he might not have smelled something abnormal.

But he didn't say anything, just pretended that he didn't know, and helped Fu Yan cover up the matter smoothly.

And thinking about it now, in his last life, Feng Lei might have foreseen the result of returning to Yan City before he and Fu Yan both.

At that time, he was very preoccupied, and wanted to keep them several times, but Liu Ruosong only thought that he was a hospitable person, but never thought of another possibility, and did not hear the subtext behind his hesitation.

Maybe he wanted to remind them at the end, but the duties and orders of a soldier prevented him from saying everything in the end.

"I hope he is safe." Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan turned his head and looked at him with gentle eyes. He focused on Liu Ruosong for a while, and then reached out to help him tuck his collar.

His movements were very gentle, slow and cautious, his cold knuckles brushed Liu Ruosong's side face, leaving a icy chill.

Fu Yan's eyes were very gentle, as if they could melt the solid ice at the foot of Wrangel Island. Liu Ruosong felt a little embarrassed by his eyes, and smiled with his lips pursed.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruosong asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I want to see it." Fu Yan said softly.

He rubbed Liu Ruosong's face with his knuckles, and inserted his five fingers into the hair at the back of his head with nostalgia, pulling him slightly closer.

"Thanks for having you here." Fu Yan's voice was very soft, as soft as a sigh: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist."

"You are already very good." Liu Ruosong said, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to be like you."

Fu Yan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

He lowered his head slightly, and placed a kiss on Liu Ruosong's forehead.

"It's due to you." Fu Yan said, "It's all because of you."

It was rare for Liu Ruosong to hear him say such warm words of love, and his heart was so soft that it felt like being brushed by a blade of grass for a moment, which was painful and itchy.

"I sometimes wonder why the world chose you." Liu Ruosong said.

"Huh?" Fu Yan uttered a questioning syllable cooperatively, and asked, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because you are the only one who can do it." Liu Ruosong said, "Maybe the world checked all the people in the world, and finally found that the savior can only be you."

"Brother." Liu Ruosong took his hand and said softly: "Actually, sometimes I hate this world very much, and I always think, why is it you, why is it me—why does the fate of a world depend on one person to bear it?" That’s right. Didn’t you say that when the sky fell, there was a tall man holding it up, so why all the suffering is on you alone.”

"actually--"

"I haven't finished yet." Liu Ruosong interrupted Fu Yan very gently, and continued: "But actually, sometimes I feel very proud."

"Although it hurts most of the time, I worry about you, feel sorry for you, and feel unworthy for you." Liu Ruosong said: "But occasionally when I see you go further, I also feel a little proud."

Just like the first time Liu Ruosong saw Fu Yan at work, the first time he saw him meeting with the special operations team, the first time he dispatched and directed field work, and the first time he saw him flying a plane into the sky - this is Fu Yan's unique Liu Ruosong feels hard work for him, but it is hard not to be tempted by it.

He seems to have a rare treasure in his chest, and while he is afraid that it will be broken by the miserable wind and rain outside, he can't help but want to appreciate it in the sun.

"I love you." Liu Ruosong said: "I love everything about you, your whole person, and your heart—everything you give for it is the embodiment of your whole person."

"I always thought you were the best." Liu Ruosong said, "So I thought about it later and thought that the world might think so too."

"You're partial." Fu Yan couldn't help laughing: "There are so many people in the world, how do you know I'm the best—maybe it's a random choice among the options?"

"In the eyes of the world, you are also the No. [-] pick of the savior." Liu Ruosong said.

Fu Yan blinked, but didn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

"This shows that I have good vision." Liu Ruosong said, "I, like the world, have chosen you among all the people."

Fu Yan couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he couldn't help but put Liu Ruosong into his arms, and took a deep breath.

What did I give him, Fu Yan thought suddenly.

Fu Yan is not good at putting money on himself, he always feels that he just did what he should do, but Liu Ruosong is good at taking all this as his credit, and then giving love for it.

For a moment, Fu Yan's heart was greatly shaken.

He dragged such a gentle and gentle young man into a quagmire, and then not only failed to pull him out, he even subconsciously wanted him to comfort himself in this way.

Fu Yan spurned this kind of weakness from the bottom of his heart, but couldn't help but want to hear more.

"Let's talk a little more." Fu Yan said, "...or tell me, what are we going to do next?"

He wanted to hear some comforting and gentle words, but Fu Yan was not good at this, so he racked his brains for a long time, and the most tender topic he could think of was "the future".

In this situation, "future" should be the best wish they can think of.

Because that means don't go back to the same place, don't start all over again, and go to tomorrow after tomorrow.

Compared to Fu Yan, Liu Ruosong is obviously better at this.He leaned obediently in Fu Yan's arms and easily granted his wish.

"Well, let me think about it." Liu Ruosong thought for a while, and then asked: "Brother, tell me, after the city falls, even if the disaster is over, can we go back to the city?"

"Maybe it's a bit difficult." Fu Yan replied sternly: "After the population has dropped sharply, there is not enough work force. The city has been severely abandoned in recent years, and it may not be possible to revive the abandoned city for a while."

Abandoned buildings aside, the downtime of water and electricity lines and precision instruments cannot be completely repaired in a day or two.There is not enough manpower, even if they forcefully return to the city, they cannot survive.

What's more, now that the social structure has been disrupted, it is more important to fill the stomach first than the "quality of life".

"That's it." Liu Ruosong said, "That's right, we won't go back to the city. We'll build a house in the suburbs or in the countryside, and then grow a small tomato in the yard—it's best to dig a hole in the yard. , raise a few fish."

Liu Ruosong paused as he spoke, and said with a smile, "You dig."

Fu Yan hummed.

"Or you can live closer to the military area." Liu Ruosong said: "The treatment drug has not been researched, and I don't think No. [-] will let me go. In this case, you and I can go to work during the day, and then we will be together after get off work. go home."

Fu Yan hummed again.

Liu Ruosong knew what he wanted to hear, he didn't want to hear Liu Ruosong's plans for the future, he just wanted to give himself a little more firmness before the war.

He is rare and vulnerable, even if he wants to relax, he needs to guard the line in his heart cautiously and carefully, as if he is afraid that if he indulges for a moment, he will indulge in it later.

"I love you." Liu Ruosong ended with these words: "No matter where you go, I will accompany you."

Fu Yan gently pulled his shoulders away and looked into his eyes quietly.

"Brother, you have to believe me, I'm not as fragile as you think." Liu Ruosong said, "Joe Aiden is just across the strait, you and I need to have a consensus now - I will accompany you to the world The last point, to the end of life. If you can restart, I will try again with you, it doesn’t matter how many times you try. If one day you won’t restart again, I will die with you too.”

"I know this kind of talk is a bit extreme. If I hadn't experienced so much, I wouldn't rashly talk about dying." Liu Ruosong said, "But now, I think you can understand me, right?"

"I can." Fu Yan said, "Of course I can."

"I know very well." Fu Yan suddenly smiled, he wiped Liu Ruosong's side face with his knuckles, and said softly, "You will always be in front of my eyes."
