mayfly era

When Chen Li returned to the base, he had almost left, only Daxue was scratching his explosive head in front of the communication calculator in the public area.

Chen Li turned a corner and walked into the cafeteria. It was rare for Su to skip work today and was cooking soup in the kitchen.

A strong sour aroma gushes out from the cracks in the pot lid.Even instant buns will become very delicious with the cooking of millet.

Su saw Chen Li leaning against the kitchen door and pointed to the pot.

Chen Li nodded.

After a while, Su came out with two bowls of coarse-grain noodles in thick soup, and handed Chen Li a bowl. He sat at the other end of the table and started eating with a snort.

Chen Li put on the earphones and connected to the channel of the smoking gun.

There was a noise in the earphones, as if it was disturbed by some huge and chaotic radio waves, Chen Li's heart tensed up immediately.

"Old Smoke?" Chen Li kept his voice steady.

There was a voice on the other end mixed in the communication wave, but because of the noise interference, it was completely hard to hear what was being said.

"Di—" The communication terminated.

Chen Yue's mind was buzzing, he grabbed his mobile phone and quickly ran to the main brain room.

Just when he broke into the main brain room and startled the typhoid who was working inside, he received a text channel text message: "There are a lot of robot wreckage where we are, the radio wave interference is serious, nothing happened, don't worry. "

Chen Li was still uneasy, grabbed the typhoid by the back collar, forced him to quit the work interface at hand, located the positions of the bong and Song Guang, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing happened.

"Cough, cy..." Typhoid was breathing hard, his little face flushed.

"I'm sorry." Chen Li came back to his senses, let go of his hand quickly, and helped Typhoid tidy up the clothes he scratched.

He retreated from the main brain room in embarrassment, and just two steps away, Typhoid chased him out.

"What are you eating?" Typhoid asked with a straight face.

"The cook cooked the soup and took a bite of noodles." Chen Li said truthfully.

"I'm hungry."

Chen Li took the typhoid back to the cafeteria, Su saw the two, went into the kitchen silently, cooked another bowl of noodles, and served it to the typhoid.

"I go for a run every day," Typhoid said, "at the intensity of the day."

Chen Li nodded, "How do you feel?"

"tired."

Chen Li was dumbfounded.There is nothing wrong with this answer, but it doesn't seem right.

"Except for being tired?" Chen Li asked.

Typhoid turned his head and thought for a while, "Worry."

"Don't worry," Chen Li reassured, "Your physical fitness...it's useless to be anxious."

Typhoid didn't hold back and laughed, "I thought I couldn't speak very well, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than me."

"The words are rough and the rationale is not rough." Chen Li said.

After the two finished their meal, Su came out to collect the tableware, and the typhoid went back to the main brain room to continue working.

When Chen Li left Snow Palm, he looked at the two street corners on the left and right. The two business stalkers were really obedient and left as soon as they said it.

He took the car out of the base's ring-mounted garage, and then turned on the anti-tracking drive to the fourth area.

——The famous white-collar area in the central city, the entire area is lined with skyscrapers and office buildings, and the expressways cross the sky one by one, and the lights are still brightly lit until late at night.

Chen Li parked the "Nightcrawler" in the largest automatic toll parking area in the fourth district.

Then he walked for 10 minutes to a relatively remote office building, and then to the most inconspicuous office building in this building.

Instead of going upstairs directly, he charged his e-cigarette, which had already run out of power, for a while at the charging station downstairs.

5 minutes, the battery is fully charged.

Chen Li stood beside the charging station, bit the metal filter between his teeth, lowered his head and adjusted the position of the equipment bag behind his waist.

Next, he smoked three pipes of tobacco leaf particles for 10 minutes, until the lights in the office building were almost extinguished, white-collar workers went home, and only the lights on the top floor were still on.

Chen Li was about to go upstairs.

Instead of going through the main entrance, he turned to the fire escape at the back, pried open the door three times and twice, and then climbed up the third floor along the fire escape.

The third floor is a fitness center. Through the window glass, you can see some bloated people doing aerobics with the robot coach on the side.

Chen Yue took out a finger cot from the equipment bag and put it on the middle finger of his right hand. When he walked to the door of the fitness center, he turned his head to avoid the facial recognition system, and then put the middle finger with the finger cot on the fingerprint recognition window.

There was a slight electric sound, and after the identification window was temporarily paralyzed, an employee message popped up to let Chen Yue go.

He quickly walked into the locker room, smashed the fragile cubicle lock with his bare hands, took away the crumbs of the lock, and pulled out the unlucky employee card from it.

With the employee card, Chen Li successfully boarded the elevator, turned his back to avoid the elevator monitoring, and arrived at the top floor unimpeded.

The top floor was rented by three different companies. At this time, only the innermost office was still lit. Chen Li walked straight over to the lit office, and the one-way glass door opened automatically.

He walked in, and there was only a man buried in his work, who was constantly recording on the tablet, and he didn't even have the time to look up at the unexpected visitor.

Chen Li leaned against the one-way glass wall by the door, quietly waiting for the man to finish his work.

The man worked under his gaze for another two hours before inserting the tablet back into the slot, heaved a long sigh of relief, and raised his head.

I saw his tired face, with a pair of glasses on his nose, his eyes were out of focus for a while and then regained focus, he reached out to take off the glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Sorry, I was in a meeting just now," the man said, and suddenly he raised one corner of his mouth and smiled playfully, "Your behavior of sneaking the door and picking the lock seriously violated the law of public order."

"If you can follow me, can I not come to you?" Chen Li said.

The man stood up and stretched his stiff cervical spine, then went around to the front of the desk, leaned on the edge of the desk and looked at Chen Li leisurely, "How do you know I'm here?"

"Your sister's emergency address is filled in here, I'll try my luck," Chen Li said, "You love her very much."

"How do you know I'm following you?" the man asked again.

Chen Li sneered, "Your employees are too poor, and you are not afraid that I will kill them with a slip of my hand."

"I know you have a limited killing order."

One of them was leaning against the door, the other was leaning against the table, their eyes were indifferent, and their posture was guarded, as if there was an insurmountable transparent wall between them.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, Chen Li suddenly felt a little dazed.I don't know whether it's because time passed too fast, or too many accidents happened suddenly, he suddenly didn't have the energy to doubt these familiar people.

"You are getting old." Chen Yue said lightly,

"People will always grow old," the man said, and picked up a reflective object on the table to shine on his face, "Tsk, why do you have two more wrinkles?"

The man's inconsistencies in his words and deeds made it difficult for people to tell whether he cared about the issue of age or not.

"What do you want from me?" Chen Li went straight to the point.

The man put down the reflective material, put his arms around his chest, "Why don't you ask me how I found you?"

"If you can find it at the beginning of the month, you can naturally find it too." Chen Li said.

"I thought you were dead before," the man said, "Xiao Ren has been sad for a long time, she used to like you very much, and always yelled for Aunt Ming to marry you to her, but it's a pity that Aunt Ming didn't agree with anything."

"I am seven years older than her." Chen Li said coldly.

"Seven years old is no big deal." The man said with a smile.

"She was only nine years old when I left," Chen Li added, "She was only 11 years old when I 'died'."

The man shrugged, "It's really inappropriate to say that."

"What do you want from me?" Chen Li asked again.

The man looked Chen Li up and down, touched his lips, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Li was not in a hurry, and leaned quietly against the door, letting others sweep from head to toe, and from foot to head like a human body scanner.

"Chen Ye, if you are awakened, be prepared to die." The man slowly spit out such a sentence. When he spoke, his expression was very serious, and everything was relaxed and peaceful.

Chen Yue was not surprised, he shook his head calmly, "I refuse."

The man didn't speak, his eyes were full of reproach.

"My life should belong to me alone," Chen Li said.

The man said, "Unfortunately, not."

"Then come and kill me, if you can."

"That's the task Aunt Ming left for me."

Chen Li sneered, "She is really a good mother."

But the man said seriously, "She is indeed a good mother... It's because your understanding of everything is too shallow and too late."

"No one has taught me what to do, why are you accusing me of being ignorant now." Chen Li looked at the man calmly and said without any waves in his tone.

The man nodded in agreement, "That's right."

"What does the awakening in your mouth mean?" Chen Li asked.

The man stroked his chin and thought for a while, "I think you should know better than me."

Chen Li thought, this is true, not only he knows it, but his body knows it better.With his back away from the one-way glass wall, he stood up straight.

"The era of mayflies she said has come, right?" Chen Li asked in a low voice.

The man shook his head, "I don't know, but maybe it would have been a better time."

"Then I must live to see it." Chen Yue bit the word "alive" heavily.

"It's late, you go back," the man said after a pause, "Be careful on the road."

"Sorry, I borrowed your employee's card." Chen Li took out the magnetic card from his pocket and waved it casually, "You can make another one for him, Marshal Wen."

The man's eyes caught Chen Yue's trembling hand, and he suddenly felt cold. He rushed over quickly, grabbed Chen Yue's wrist, and was thrown away by Chen Yue in the next second.

Chen Li's strength surprised him.

"What happened to your hand?" the man asked coldly.

"It's nothing." Chen Li said.

"Tell me the truth." The man's voice contained the majesty of his father, he frowned tightly, and the deep marks between his brows proved the hard work of half his life.

"Marshal Wen, you are working with our boss... please don't worry about anything else." Chen Li looked directly into the man's eyes full of coercion.

Marshal Wen took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, word by word, very clearly, "Chen Ye, your life does belong to you, but if you can't control it, it's not just you who will be destroyed." You yourself, think clearly, there are still many innocent people in this world."

Chen Li shook his head helplessly, "You make me sound like some kind of demon descended into the world, am I that scary?"

"People like Chen Ming who have such strong control will die for it," Marshal Wen said seriously, "From my observation of you, you are not as good as her, so you are more dangerous than her."

Chen Li's gaze was like cold water, and he asked Marshal Wen, "How do you know that I am not as good as her?"

Marshal Wen was taken aback, not knowing how to respond to Chen Li's words.

"Just because of gender?" Chen Li said coldly.

"No..." Marshal Wen quickly denied, but was speechless for a while.

"I can live to this day," Chen Li laughed, with a bit of self-deprecation and ease, "You don't know how many times I have died."

"So, I will never let go. No matter who is my life, including the so-called fate, don't try to take it away."

After finishing speaking, Chen Li turned around and left the office building without looking at Marshal Wen again.

In the darkness, the corners of his mouth were tightly drawn, and with a straight face, he silently endured a strange emotion.

This emotion hurts more than any wound, fermenting rapidly like a colony in his body.

Finally he remembered that he had felt this emotion countless times when he was a child.

The most violent moment was when Chen Ming kissed Wen Renzhi's forehead to comfort the shivering little girl who had stepped on her shoes.

This kind of emotion is probably called grievance.
