The small pot on the stove made a gurgling sound of boiling, Fu Tianhe took off the pot, carefully poured the water into the bottle he carried with him, and handed it to Chen Ci.

Chen Ci held the bottle with both hands, and the heat was faithfully transmitted into his palm through the plastic, and quickly spread along his arms to his whole body.

The body that was roasted by the fire quickly warmed up.

Their drenched clothes were wrung out of the rain and hung over a fire to dry.

Fu Tianhe's underwear was almost dry at last, he got up silently, ran to a secluded corner, and put them on again.

Finally no need to vacuum anymore, Fu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the fire with a blushing face.

There was a busy sound outside, and everyone in the camp relaxed a little bit and was hurrying to pack their things.

Once this rain is over, the camp will be restored to its original state.

There was a knock on the door, and Fu Tianhe shouted loudly: "Come in."

Lal came in with a match stick, and he had already learned from the girl that the accident the night before yesterday was the one who asked Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci to rescue everyone.

After wiping her hair with a matchstick, she changed into dry clothes. She hugged two quilts and spread them in a clean place in the corner of the room.

"The rain won't stop for a while. The two benefactors will rest here tonight. We are used to not needing a bed. We sleep on the ground with a quilt. I hope you don't feel disgusted."

Fu Tianhe: "It's okay, we used sleeping bags for camping before, almost enough."

Lal sat next to the two of them. The blood on his body was washed away by the rain, revealing the hideous wounds. He was seriously injured and walked for four hours in the rain. No matter how healthy a person was, it was a bit unbearable.

"Don't be too busy." The voice of the statement was very soft, "If the broken rib is not treated properly, it will stab into the lung and you will die."

"Thank you benefactor for your concern. When the weather clears tomorrow, I will go to the doctor."

Fu Tianhe was very curious about the lives of scavengers, and asked, "Chensha main body?"

Lal: "Well, if we have something to do, we still go to the hospital in the side room of the CPU to see a doctor. There is a car in the camp, and it won't take long to drive there."

Living together, purchasing materials and using precious resources together is much better than wandering alone. Strictly speaking, this is the home of 41 people, and Lal is their patriarch.

The four chatted like this, to be precise, Fu Tianhe was chatting with Lal, Chen Ci and Matchstick sat quietly on the side, listening silently.

Most of the people in the camp were injured, so Fu Tianhe couldn't help but feel a little worried: "We're helping you in this way. After we leave, the people in the Momu camp should come to make trouble again."

"If it wasn't for the despicable sneak attack, Mom would never have succeeded." Lal waved his hand and said, "There are seven camps in the abandoned suburbs, and there are often small frictions between them, but they are not serious, let alone hatred, after all It wasn't too difficult for everyone to go their own way, and no one thought about who would launch an attack on other camps."

"Momm took advantage of us to go out to work during the day and only a few people stayed behind, and brought everyone over, and then we broke down one by one when we went home in the evening, in order to succeed. If we fight in a fair and honest manner, it is not necessarily who will die and who will live. .”

"When something like this happens, we will definitely be more vigilant. We will keep more people in the camp in the future. If we encounter a similar situation, we will stop being soft and shoot directly."

The statement caught the point: "Do you have guns? Where did you get the bullets?"

Lal said truthfully: "There is a fairly hidden workshop in the side room of the CPU, which specializes in selling arms to us scavengers. If the benefactor needs it, I can introduce him to you."

Statement: "Okay, that's exactly what I need."

Now that the bullet has landed, it can be seen that Chen Ci is very satisfied.

Shouldn't he have to rack his brains to make bullets?Fu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if this workshop could make aircraft.

Fu Tianhe thought that he still had nearly ninety mechanical cores in his hands: "By the way, what do you usually do with the mechanical cores? Are they sold to the production workshop?"

Lal: "Well, the purchase price of this thing is quite high, much more valuable than selling metal directly."

Fu Tianhe: "What does the workshop use this for?"

Lal: "I don't know too well, but it seems that the buyer accidentally said, what...aggregate? Pre-aggregate?"

Submission: "Is it a chimera?"

Lal: "That's right, that's the name."

"Chimera?" Fu Tianhe was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew what it was. For thousands of years, human beings have thought of countless ways to deal with primitive creatures in the ocean.

Chimeras are one of them.

Throughout the ages, human beings have obtained a lot of inspiration from nature, and invented countless bionic devices by studying the principles of the activities of various creatures.

The chimera is made by imitating the phage.

Phages are able to attach to the bacterial shell, puncture the shell, pass through the tail, and inject genetic material into the bacteria.

Afterwards, the genetic material of the phage will self-replicate and synthesize with the help of the material in the bacterium. When the number of offspring multiplies to a certain number, the bacterium will be lysed from the inside by them, and new phages will be released geometrically to find the next target.

The same goes for chimeras.

They enter the original organisms, interfere with the operation of mechanical parts through a series of rather wonderful principles, and urge the formation of new chimeras.

Fu Tianhe had read a lot of related materials before, but he couldn't understand the core principle of the technology at all. How could the original creature be willing to let the chimera enter the body?

Hearing what Lal said, he suddenly realized.

Because the chimera is modified with a mechanical core.

There is a very complicated food chain among primitive organisms, they hunt and devour each other, and seek their own "evolution".

The mechanical core exudes a fatal temptation for them, and the primitive creatures can't wait to devour it. It is impossible to imagine that the core has already been transformed by humans, which will destroy them from the inside and completely disintegrate.

The cost of each chimera is so expensive that Fu Tianhe can't even imagine it. This thing is jointly produced by the military department and the research institute, and it is not open to the people at all.

As the raw material of the chimera, the preciousness of the mechanical core is self-evident. Under normal circumstances, the value of the core is at least several times higher than the current selling price.

The people in the production workshop relied on the ignorance of the scavengers and bought them at the lowest price.

Fu Tianhe has a general idea in his mind, maybe he can also do a little research on this aspect.

It wasn't until Lal's wife called him to help that the gradually in-depth conversation was forced to end.

Matchstick didn’t understand a lot of the things they talked about, she was drowsy listening to it, and she didn’t stay any longer after Lal left—it’s better to let the two benefactors have a good rest, they must be very tired after subduing the Momu camp .

The room fell silent again.

The fire was still burning, Chen Ci's body was almost warmed up, and his hair was almost dry.

He put down the water bottle that he had been holding in his arms to warm his hands all this time, his palms were hot.

Only the feet remain.

Chen Ci's feet had been soaked in wet shoes for a long time, his toes were white and wrinkled, and it was cold from the soles of his feet to his knees. Now he took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet close to the stove, trying to keep warm.

The ground was still quite dirty, with a lot of sand and dust. Chen Ci didn't want to step on it directly, so he raised his feet slightly. This was an awkward and tiring posture.

Seeing this, Fu Tianhe stretched out his hand directly to grab Chen Ci's feet.

Statement: "Huh?"

Chen Ci's legs were lifted, his center of gravity shifted back, and his body naturally fell on his back. He hurriedly supported it with his arms, raised his head slightly, and looked at Fu Tianhe with some doubts.

Fu Tianhe supported his calf through his trousers, and directly put the boy's cold feet into his arms.

"It warms up quickly and is comfortable." Fu Tianhe took care not to have any skin-to-skin contact with Chen Ci that might make him uncomfortable, and there was a layer of clothes between him from the beginning to the end.

Statement: ...

After a few seconds, Fu Tianhe felt Chen Ci's tense body gradually relax.

The boy retracted his arms behind his back, adjusted his center of gravity, and sat up again. He didn't struggle, and his feet lightly stepped on Fu Tianhe.

It was white and tender, as if it hadn't walked much before.

Fu Tianhe put Chen Ci's feet on his abdomen, which is the warmest and softest place on a person's body.

It was really cold, Fu Tianhe felt his belly was frozen through his clothes.

Fu Tianhe couldn't help but think of the first time the two met, at that time Jiuyue was like a little hedgehog, even putting his hand in his palm had to be put on a piece of paper.

Now I am willing to wrap my arms around his waist on the back seat of the motorcycle and let him warm his feet in his arms.

"My mother warmed my feet like this when I was young." Fu Tianhe said suddenly.

Chen Ci heard Fu Tianhe talk about his mother for the first time.

He thought of the engineering textbook that Fu Tianhe had given him. On the title page was written a gift, and the notes were neat and neat. At that time, Chen Ci guessed that it might be Fu Tianhe's mother or sisters or other family members.

The gift was telling Fu Tianhe that he should have hope for the future at all times, but the words were a bit strange.

Therefore, Chen Ci asked one more sentence: "Didn't you live with her?"

Fu Tianhe's tone was relaxed: "She's gone on a trip. I came to Chensha now to see if I can find her."

Is that so?

Chen Ci accidentally glanced at the front desk of the hotel, and saw that Fu Tianhe's household registration was in the beacon Sanshui.

Chen Ci didn't know what to say, he didn't have a mother, and he didn't have any memory of his father. Parents were a completely foreign concept to him.

That ends the talk about family.

The extremities have always been the most difficult to actively warm up. Being held in Fu Tianhe's arms, Chen Ci's somewhat numb feet quickly regained consciousness.

The rain was still falling, but his whole body was warmed up.

Chen Ci stared at the dancing flames, and couldn't help thinking, if he chose to travel alone in the first place, and encountered rainy days, would he just sit in a corner and curl up in a corner, waiting for his body to warm up?

No wonder Jiang Dai and Chen Nian both told him to find a companion before going out.

Although Chen Ci has long been used to loneliness, he still has to admit that it is indeed good to have someone to accompany him.

The warmth spread from the soles of the feet to the knees along the calf, and the cold and numb stiffness disappeared, and Chen Ci gave Fu Tianhe a light kick, indicating that he could do it.

"Is it warm?"

"Ah."

Chen Ci's foot stepped on Fu Tianhe's stomach, and he could clearly feel his waist and abdomen exerting force when he spoke, causing vibration and tension.

Only then did Fu Tianhe let go of Chen Ci's feet.

Chen Ci started to feel sleepy on the back seat of the motorcycle, and now that he was in a stable room, he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Go and rest." Fu Tianhe said softly, "It happens that we don't have anything important to do, we just need to wait for the rain to stop."

Matchstick has already laid quilts for them, half of them are used as a bed, and half of them are covered, just enough to sleep.

This thing is no different from a sleeping bag, of course Chen Ci didn't pick it, he got into the quilt, Fu Tianhe turned down the fire a little, and lay down next to Chen Ci.

Chen Ci didn't expect to spend the night outside, so he left earplugs and eye masks at the hotel.

He closed his eyes, the sky was dim, but it still leaked through the gaps in the doors and windows, shining on his thin eyelids.

The wind and rain continued outside, and the people who had rested were rearranging the camp. The sound insulation of the building was not good. If you were more attentive, you could even hear the entire content of their conversation.

Even with a layer of quilt, it is still hard to sleep directly on the ground.

It wasn't warm enough, dark enough, or quiet enough. Chen Ci had never seen a residence that was more comfortable than his bedroom in the White Tower, but no matter how good it was, he was already tired of it.

Now even if he has to suffer a little bit, and it is difficult to sleep because of the noise, he is willing to accept it.

"Can't sleep? Is it a bit noisy?" After a while, Fu Tianhe asked softly.

"It's okay." Chen Ci closed his eyes.

"Let's make do with it for a day, and we can go back when the rain stops." Knowing that Jiuyue must understand these things, Fu Tianhe couldn't help but comfort him.

He remembered that when he was a child, his mother repeated the words he knew well over and over again, and it was really useful. Knowing yourself and telling you the truth are completely different things.

Many times people just need a word of comfort from others.

Before Chen Ci also thought that he was so sensitive to sound, if he would sleep in the same bed with Shaffley after marriage, would he suffer from insomnia all night long.

No matter how well Shaffley sleeps and doesn't snore, if a big living person stays next to him, there will definitely be the sound of breathing or turning over.

He couldn't let Shaffley hold his breath.

But after the initial period, the two of them can sleep in separate rooms.

But now, Chen Ci realizes that he can fall asleep peacefully with someone else beside him, even though that person is not absolutely quiet, if he pays attention to restraining his movements, there will still be slight noises.

Well, there is also the smell of pheromone that drifts out unconsciously, amber woody fragrance.

This is a fragrance that many perfumes use, but it is slightly different from what Chen Ci has smelled. It always reminds him of a lush forest in the afternoon, where the sun passes through the gaps in the leaves, casting beams of amber-colored warmth.

It is raining in the forest.

As Chen Ci thought about it, he felt something lightly resting on his eyes.

Block out all light and turn the world into darkness.

The faint smell of pheromone told him that it was Fu Tianhe's freshly dried shirt.

Maybe it was really sleepy, but in such an unsatisfactory sleeping environment, the consciousness of the statement fell into groggy again.
