Wife is not divorced

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the heavy curtains, and shines on the messy desk full of various documents.

On top of the messy pile of papers sat a dark-haired woman in a white coat, frowning, distracted by the light that shone on her eyelids.

"It's so annoying—"

Chu Lian rubbed the center of her brows, her long hair was piled on her shoulders in a mess, and shouted to the communication screen: "How many times have I told you, I don't have any more experimental products!"

"The experimental subjects in the slums have poor physical fitness and low fat content, and none of them can survive the third phase of the test. I said I want death row prisoners, healthy death row prisoners!"

Chu Lian gave a "tsk" sound: "You guys are working overtime to order the toxins that I want to make, and you are unwilling to send the experimental products with various excuses, what can I do?"

The other end of the communication seemed to say something, Chu Lian sneered after hearing this, cut off the connection with a "snap", and knocked the instrument on the table to the ground:

"Kangdang—!!"

The instrument was cracked several times, the spring and the circuit board burst apart, and one of the screws rolled out far away, and stopped beside the door that was slightly opened.

A glutinous rice dumpling poked its head out, its big eyes covered with mist, and looked at her timidly: "Doctor?"

"That...researcher No. 5 is looking for you." The voice of the glutinous rice dumpling was also soft, as if the sweet filling could overflow with a poke.

Chu Lian glanced at her, rummaged through the messy table, took out a portable hard drive, and waved to the door: "CO1, come here."

CO1 hurried over with small steps.

"This is an encrypted file." Chu Lian threw the hard drive on the ground casually, sat on the edge of the table and shook his calf, "Crack it before tonight and give it to me."

CO1 lay down on the ground and picked up the hard drive, she traced the edge of the hard drive, her voice sounded small; "What type is it?"

Chu Lian held her chin and said, "D21, or D32, you can study it by yourself later."

CO1 said: "If it is D21 type encryption, I should be able to deliver it to you within two hours."

Chu Lian was originally leaning on the table, but when he heard this, he suddenly straightened up: "What are you talking about...? Come here."

CO1's eyes lit up, and the dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible. She ran over happily holding the hard drive, and almost tripped herself halfway.

Chu Lian pinched her waxy face, rubbed it vigorously, and squeezed out a tear from CO1.

She frowned and sneered: "As expected of an experimental product whose genes have been modified several times, the brain is easy to use."

CO1 looked at her watery, "Thank-thank you."

Chu Lian let go, and two red marks appeared on her porcelain-white face. CO1 touched her face, and heard her say in her ear, "Okay, come see me after you finish cracking."

CO1 nodded, and then ran out with a "clack" all the way, not forgetting to close the door carefully, not daring to make too much noise.

She ran across the corridor with small steps, and researcher No. 16 was waiting for her at the door. He bent down and rubbed CO1's head: "Xiao Chu is back."

CO1 said: "My name is not Xiao Chu. The number given to me by the doctor is chu_offspring_1. For convenience, my abbreviation is CO1."

Researcher No. 16 paused, looking at her softly, and there was something CO1 couldn't understand: "Xiao Chu is a nickname, a secret between us, okay?"

CO1 was a little puzzled: "Okay."

No. 16 rubbed her head again, and then helped CO1, who was not tall enough, unlock the electronic lock of the room.

In the small room, most of the place is occupied by several large bookshelves, which are full of various books and documents, blocking most of the windows and sunlight.

CO1 climbed onto his small table, and skillfully connected the hard disk to the computer. After a simple operation, the cracking program started to run automatically.

The encryption degree of this file is not high, you can try brute force cracking first, if it takes too long, it is not too late to crack the algorithm.

As for the waiting time, CO1 likes to use it to do some things she likes, without worrying about being called by doctors or other researchers to do test subjects.

CO1 has just turned six years old this year, and she has already learned all kinds of "fishing skills" that migrant workers are proficient without a teacher. She jumped off the table and lay down by the French window that was mostly blocked by the bookcase, flipping through an encyclopedia with relish.

Today's chapter is "Mammals". CO1 cherishes it and slowly flips through the pages. She reads the text very quickly, but it takes a long time to look at the pictures of each encyclopedia, and sometimes she can't help touching it with her hands. a touch.

Of course, no matter how you touch it, it still feels the same, because it is just a picture, smooth and flat under the fingertips, without rough bark, and no fluffy ears.

CO1 was staring at a color picture, it was a puppy with golden hair, its fluffy ears turned up, happily chasing a tennis ball in the picture.

'Researcher 16 always says that I'm cute, that I'm still a child, what a strange person. '

CO1 thought to himself, 'If you want to say cute, this puppy is obviously much cuter than me, it looks fluffy, I really want to touch it. '

Thick curtains were drawn in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and only some sunlight shone through. CO1 felt that it was a bit dark, so she crawled to the edge of the window, and stretched out her hand to open the curtains a little.

She was pulling the fabric, but her hand suddenly stopped.

On the wall of the researcher, sat a fluffy, golden thing, very similar to the puppy I saw in the book just now, and seemed to be looking around for something.

CO1 blinked, she pushed open the glass door forcefully, squeezed through the small gap, stepped on the dry soil, and walked into the courtyard.

In the almost dazzling sunlight, the child was sitting on the edge of the wall, with most of his body leaning forward, looking precarious.

CO1 was very curious. The institute was full of adults. She had never seen a child similar to herself, so she raised her head and called out, "Hello?"

The sound was not loud, but it frightened the child into a quiver. She didn't step on the edge firmly, and she fell down suddenly, hitting CO1 right on the body.

"Pfft-!!"

The two children collided and rolled to the ground in embarrassment. CO1 was hurt a bit from the impact, and he barely straightened up.

CO1 froze for a moment.

The blond hair was fluffy, and a pair of light-colored eyes could be vaguely seen, like a puppy in a picture in a book, looking at him wetly. . . .

If she hadn't been so hungry that she couldn't stand it, and was chased and beaten for three blocks by the baker's owner, Lizi would never have taken the risk and climbed up the wall of the research institute.

It is said in the slums that there is a monster in the research institute here, and it is said that it can eat people. Every time the people who sign up as volunteers for the so-called "reward" basically never return.

"You, are you alright?!"

Seeing the glutinous rice dumpling hit by her, Lizi quickly straightened up, stepped back several steps, and finally bumped into a tree again: "Hey!"

That glutinous rice dumpling looked exquisite, she was the most beautiful little girl Lizi had ever seen, she was white and soft, and she had big watery black eyes.

She looked at Lizi without blinking, but there was no expression on her face, and her eyes were indifferent, so that Lizi couldn't tell whether she was curious or hostile.

Lizi was a little embarrassed, she rubbed her head and whispered, "You...why did you catch me?"

Nuomi Duanzi said, "Because I can't avoid it."

pear:"……"

How should I put it, it's really a simple and rude answer.

Nuomi Duanzi also stood up and patted the dust off her body, and Lizi realized that she was a little taller than herself, but her face looked round.

"It's so strange, this is obviously the horror research institute that can eat people," Lizi muttered to herself, "Why are there children here?"

Unexpectedly, Nuomi Duanzi suddenly opened his mouth and explained in a straight-forward manner: "I am not a child, my serial number is chu_offspring_1, or CO1 for short."

Lizi stared at her blankly, her mouth opened into an "o" shape, and after three seconds of silence, she spit out two words: "What?"

CO1 repeats it patiently.

"I still don't understand," Lizi said blankly, "My name is Lizi, do you have a simpler name... like a nickname?"

CO1 was expressionless, and said: "It's really strange, leaving such a formal and orderly number without using it, and yet another weirdo who likes "nicknames"."

pear:"…………"

Wait, who is the weirdo!

Seeing Lizi's speechless expression, Nuomi Duanzi pursed her lips and sighed in a very old-fashioned way.

"Xiao Chu." She said.

The voice is waxy, but the voice is clear and cold, which reminds Lizi of a winding, crystal-clear stream deep in the forest of the slums.

The stream there is cold and clean, and Lizi often goes there to wash her hair and take a bath secretly, but compared with Xiao Chu in front of her, she still looks dirty.

Lizi lowered her head, put her soiled hands behind her back, and said timidly, "Xiao...Xiao Chu."

CO1 said: "Yeah."

Lizi was standing there at a loss, but CO1 took a few steps forward and stood in front of her.

CO1 stared at Pear for a while, and finally couldn't resist stretching out his hand to touch the soft-looking blond hair.

The soft hair was scattered in the palm of the hand, with a few fallen leaves stained, like silk satin, cold and soft to the touch.

pear:"……?"

Lizi: "Why are you touching my hair?"

CO1 looked at her, his calm black eyes suddenly became a little bit smarter: "Your hair is so soft and fluffy."

Lizi actually didn't understand what she meant, but when CO1 smiled, she blushed: "Yes, is it?"

CO1 nodded: "Well, are you willing to be the second volunteer for the plush softness test?"

Lizi can understand every word in this sentence, but when put together, she has no idea what it means.

She thought for a moment, and decided to reply only to the part she could understand: "No. [-]? Who is volunteer No. [-]?"

CO1 said: "My pillow."

pear:"…………"

CO1 pulled her hair, and moved a little closer, Lizi froze in place, and could smell a little of her fragrance.

Soft, faint, is an unknown fragrance, it should be the smell of "shower gel" that the sisters in the slums call.

In the slums, it was difficult for young children to survive. They were not physically strong enough, and they did not have enough physical strength to do most of the work.

Even adults have difficulty finding food and jobs, let alone relatively vulnerable children.For so long, Lizi was the first time to see a child similar to herself.

She looked at the other party, and swallowed her throat a little hesitantly: "If... become a volunteer, will I die? Is there anything to eat?"

CO1 frowned: "It's said to be a plush softness test, and it's not a toxin or human spontaneous combustion test. How could it kill people?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and rummaged in the pocket of her lab coat, and found a piece of chocolate biscuit. After a moment of hesitation, she broke off half and handed it to Pear.

"This is a deposit," CO1 said seriously, "If you are willing to come in with me, I have many other delicious things."

The adults in the slums have said many times that they must never approach the research institute, and every time they mention it, they look like they are keeping secrets.

But Lizi was really hungry, or maybe the glutinous rice dumpling in front of her was too cute, anyway, she couldn't resist the temptation.

The two children sneaked back into the research institute through the gap.

The room is very clean, there are bookshelves and documents everywhere, all of which are things that Lizi can't understand.

Compared with the filthy environment in the slums, the research institute is much better.

With delicious food, cozy surroundings, and fluffy blankets, it's heaven!

CO1 took out the compressed biscuits prepared by the doctor, and the chocolate that the researcher secretly gave her, and piled them on the ground like a treasure.

Lizi was both surprised and delighted: "Give it all to me?"

CO1: "Of course not."

pear:"……"

CO1 earnestly distributed the snacks, half and half for each person was quite even, but Lizi noticed that she secretly put sweet things, chocolate, marshmallows, etc. to the other side, and gave herself some salty biscuits.

She likes sweets so much, Pear thought.

The two children started to eat together, while Lizi gobbled up the biscuits and talked to CO1 incessantly.

She found that CO1 was really ignorant of the outside world, no matter what she said, she would open her big eyes and listen carefully.

So Li Zi told her many other things, such as the children in the slums who named themselves after fruits, and the delicious bakery where they could steal bread.

Another example is the North-South alliance in the war.

Pear is like a new encyclopedia, replacing the old one that CO1 has flipped through, vividly telling many stories she has never heard before.

After filling her belly, Lizi climbed up the big banyan tree in the research institute familiarly. When she jumped to the edge of the wall, the weird glutinous rice dumpling followed.

CO1 raised his head: "Will you still come?"

She said: "I have a lot of delicious food every day. If you want to come, I will leave it to you. There are chocolates, biscuits, and a lot of candy."

The research institute is huge, and so is the courtyard. Under the tall buildings, CO1 looks small, like a homeless kitten.

Li Zi was about to turn over, but she couldn't help but froze in place. Her throat was very dry, and she turned around for a long time to refuse, and finally swallowed it.

She said, "Okay, I'll come tomorrow too."

As soon as the words were finished, CO1 suddenly smiled, his big eyes were curved into beautiful crescents, and there was a cute little dimple beside his cheek: "Okay."

Li Zi trembled and almost fell off the edge of the wall.She patted her slightly flushed cheeks, waved to CO1, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The time in the institute was like a dream, unbelievably beautiful, but she would wake up eventually, stepping on the rough ground and scorched earth, and return to the slums.

The sky was gloomy and gloomy, and the darkness was like a bloody monster. The surroundings were filled with fishy and stinky smells, garbage everywhere, and people who starved to death.

Lizi turned a blind eye to this, and she stepped on her broken shoes and quickly followed the shadows by the street to a collapsed wall.

She moved away the small rock used as a camouflage, and then got in through the small hole. Who would have thought that there was a small triangular space in the collapsed building.

There are small beds made of leaves, small cups made of fruit shells, a few tattered books of fairy tales that have been bitten by insects, and now there is an extra half of a biscuit that I am reluctant to eat.

Lizi lay down on the leaves, the surroundings were quiet, she raised her head slightly, and looked at the narrow gap in the wall, through which light was shining.

The stars all over the sky are so beautiful. .

Sometimes, Lizi really doubts whether Xiao Chu (CO1) is a robot, with such a beautiful face, but the thoughts in his head are all different from ordinary people.

For example, when Lizi boasted that she won a group of children to become the "little overlord" of the slums, and asked CO1 what achievements she had:

She would pull out a large schematic diagram and tell Lizi exactly: "Look, my genes have been modified in many places, here...there..."

CO1 talked eloquently for half an hour, and when he turned around, he found that Li Zi had passed out, sleeping soundly on that small pillow.

Maybe life in the research institute is so boring, that glutinous rice dumpling has been trapped here, looking at the sky surrounded by walls, and has never gone out.

[If there is a chance, I will take her out to play. 】

Pear thought so.

It's just that she didn't expect that her "idea" would come true a year later, but at an extremely tragic price.

One day, while she was chewing biscuits, CO1 was flipping through the encyclopedia beside her, and suddenly pointed to a bird in the book: "Lizi, have you ever seen a nightingale?"

Lizi shook her head: "I don't know what it is."

Usually it is Lizi who talks, but today is very rare, CO1 also shared with her some things that happened around him.

"The doctor is really strange recently. She has been given a music box these days, and she can take it out to see if she has nothing to do."

CO1 rested his chin and looked puzzled: "Other researchers said that the song was called "Nightingale", but I listened to it for a long time, but I didn't hear anything related to birds."

How strange, music box?

That person is a lunatic Chu who is known to everyone in the Northern League. Why is he interested in the common folk music box used to play music?

Lizi didn't know either: "It's really strange."

She was chewing a biscuit, and there was still half of it left in her hand. CO1 suddenly came over and said, "Is this delicious? You taste delicious."

Pear said: "It's delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten."

CO1 blinked, and she suddenly leaned over, opened her reddish mouth, and bit the biscuit in Lizi's hand.

Lizi even stopped breathing, and froze in place somewhat at a loss.The two children were very close, and she could even count each eyelash of CO1.

It was thick and dark, with a small arc raised.

Feel like you could put a coin on it.

CO1 took a small bite of the biscuit, she chewed it, and quickly frowned again: "It's so salty, I don't like it."

Lizi thought to herself, do you like sweet things?

There is nothing to do in CO1 today, she was flipping through that tattered encyclopedia again, Lizi leaned over to take a look, it was densely packed with words.

"That... that," Li Zi whispered, "My...well, there are a few fairy tale books in my little home, if you're interested, would you like to read them?"

CO1 opened his eyes wide: "What is a fairy tale?"

This "sophisticated" question stopped Lizi from asking her. She was stunned for a moment and then stammered to explain: "It's just... a very interesting story? There is a princess and a prince."

CO1 listened to her carefully.

Lizi didn't know if she explained it well, but she was talking nonsense anyway, she felt that she was in a mess, and she lowered her head in shame.

But the corner of the clothes was suddenly tugged by someone, CO1 leaned towards her a little bit, with a serious expression: "Okay."

CO1 said: "I want to read the fairy tale you told!"

Her smile is so sweet, Lizi has never eaten glutinous rice dumplings, but she firmly believes that dumplings should taste like this, sweet, sweet to the heart.

The two children agreed so.

That night, Li Zi went back to her little home as usual, she took out the old fairy tale books and slumped them on the table.

The clothes were dirty, and the pears were carefully selected for a long time, and finally found a relatively clean place. She dipped in the stream water and carefully wiped off the dirt on the fairy tale book.

【Xiao Chu will definitely like it very much. 】

【I want to show it to her. 】

She was lying on the leaves, holding those fairy tales in her arms, and slowly fell asleep in a daze, under the moonlight reflected in the gap.

The next morning, Li Zi was woken up.

It was an extremely loud, earth-shattering "boom", the entire slum was shaken, and the streets were full of screams.

The pears slipped through the gaps, and the first thing that caught the eye was a scarlet sky.

She froze in place for an instant.

On the top of the mountain not far away, countless explosions occurred one after another, thick smoke billowed up, and the raging fire raged without a trace, engulfing the entire research institute in an instant.

[Crazy Chu blew up her research institute. 】

People said so, but no one mentioned the girl named "Xiao Chu", and everyone didn't even know that Dr. Chu had a daughter.

Crunchy biscuits, soft blankets, clean books and paper, and that cute glutinous rice dumpling who always says weird things.

No, no, I'm going to find her!

Lizi didn't think much, she stuffed the fairy tale book back home, and then ran towards the research institute.

The research institute is located on the top of the mountain, very far away from the slums. Lizi has been running desperately, but it still takes a lot of time.

During this time, the fire continued to spread, the sky was full of thick smoke, and even the air was filled with hot sparks.

When Lizi arrived at the research institute, the front yard was almost burnt to nothing, so she rushed to the backyard anxiously, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the general condition of the backyard was still good.

Amidst the scattered thick smoke, a child was sitting on the half-collapsed wall, wearing a strange "mask", as if hesitating how to get down.

Lizi rushed over quickly, waved her hand vigorously, and shouted: "Xiao Chu! Is that you?"

The "mask" child turned his head, then slipped in Lizi's sight, and she fell from the low wall:

"Pfft-!!"

It hit Pear hard.

"Hiss, hey." Lizi was so hurt from being hit, she rubbed her hair, and saw the child raised his head and took off the oversized "mask".

Under the dark sky, she was the only color, so vivid and eye-catching, instantly occupied Lizi's entire sight, and never left her since.

CO1 blinked and said, "Pear, are you here to take me to a fairy tale book?"

The author says:

【The small theater where we met for the first time】

Lizi: What a strange little girl, but she looks so cute, she is white, like glutinous rice balls.

CO1: fluffy blonde puppy (locks the stereotype until marriage)

【Small Theater 2】

Pear: Oh my God! !exploded! !I'm going to find her! ! !

CO1: Hold on, let me find a gas mask first. (Very calm and not afraid at all)?
