When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

They went back in that spaceship.Zheng Zheng was in charge of driving the spaceship, Lu Xing was extremely tired, he shrank in the driver's seat and remained motionless, while Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo sat in the back seat.Zhang Luotuo looked out of the window, and he had a panoramic view of the industrial area. The black mist and gray sky intertwined, like an expensive silk scarf displayed in a luxury store in Jiulongpo.

"You mean...'South Wall' is a program?" Lu Xing said, he tiredly took out three cans of drinks from the drawer, handed two cans to Joad, and he opened one in his hand, Put it next to Zheng Zheng to signal her to drink when she is thirsty.

Joad nodded: "The virus is implanted and connected to the brain, that's what it means."

"No wonder." Lu Xing said, he pondered, "If the 'South Wall' just appeared out of nowhere and prevented us from going out, this is too much like a religious legend, and it is much more reasonable to explain it with technology."

After resting for a while, they regained their spirits and discussed about the escape from the city, but they still had no clue - about the "South Wall", about everything, even though Lu Xing acted one step ahead of them, it was just completely blind .

"But I don't know too much. When Zheng Zheng and I wanted to escape from this city, we didn't have a plan. We just wandered around..." Lu Xing explained to them, taking a sip of wine, "The problem now is, How can we make the south wall open for us to escape?"

The pressure hit Zhang Luotuo's chest, it receded not long ago, and now it returned again, his mind went blank.

Joad was lost in thought.Apparently he didn't know much about what they were talking about either.

"Maybe Zhao Yi also knows something?" Zhang Luotuo suggested.

But Lu Xing and Qiao De looked at each other, and said with pity and envy: "She is the only one among the three of us who doesn't know everything."

"Where are the other people in the management department?" Zhang Luotuo spread the field.

Zheng Zheng, who was driving the spacecraft, heard his words and shook his head: "They won't know more than any of us here, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant." She seemed to think of something, frowned—— Those people from the management department stood in a corner of the company and looked at the newcomer with the same snorting expression. They were extremely proud of their identities and firmly believed that all this was for human beings.

Zhang Luotuo gave up, took a sip of the drink from the wine can, and lay back on his seat—everyone in the management department was excluded.Then who else can I find?Looking for unfamiliar insiders in this huge city is like trying to dig out gold coins from the Internet, the chances are small and difficult.Who else did he know who knew something?he thought wistfully.

The mystery of opening the south wall and escaping the city is hidden in the darkness, they need something to light that darkness, like they need to find a flashlight, if they can't find a flashlight, at least they need to find someone who will lend them a flashlight , someone who might know.

Who is that person?He is lying on a chair.

This person must know both Earth and Mars, just like the Administration, he must know most of the facts, but even beyond the Administration, he must be more closely connected with Mars, so that he knows more than the Administration every time. Everyone knows a lot.

He vaguely thought of a person.

"Where's Fan Liu?" He sat up and said softly involuntarily.

Zhang Luotuo looked at Qiao De to see what he thought.Joad had remained silent before, looking at the distant scene outside the window.After hearing Zhang Luotuo's words, he turned his head. Zhang Luotuo and him looked at each other for the first time. At this moment, Zhang Luotuo was very sure, and Joad also thought of this, because he was not surprised. He thought of the answer like Zhang Luotuo , but he didn't say it.

Joad said: "Fan Liu is indeed the most likely to know something. He is the closest person to Mars apart from us." Significant industrial pollution.

"Actually, I thought about it, just now." Lu Xing, who was sitting in the front row, turned around, "Fan Liu is definitely a good match, but—"

He scratched the tip of his nose in the spaceship in embarrassment, and Zheng Zheng glanced at him, as if he knew exactly what he thought: "I remember you told me——you used Fan Liu once before, didn't you?"

Lu Xing sighed and nodded: "Yes, and Fan Liu is very smart, I don't know if he has realized it."

But compared to this answer, the others seem to be more unreliable. Zhang Luotuo discovered this, because even though they all questioned the answer of "Fan Liu", they did not completely oppose it. After a while of silence, they Start seriously considering the possibility of this.

"Maybe Fan Liu won't remember what happened?" Zheng Zheng looked forward and let the spaceship pass through a large area of ​​old apartment complexes. The industrial area had fallen behind them and disappeared.

"If you're referring to whether he remembers the question I asked him, it's possible that he doesn't drink well, and he can't remember anything the next day after drinking the pill." Lu Xing thought for a while, and frowned, as if thinking about it What, "I was like last time, and the next day he asked me what we talked about when we were drunk, and I told him we sang and danced, and he really believed it, and he became a fool when it came to alcohol. But He definitely remembered that I had a drink with him."

Zhang Luotuo leaned forward and put down the "Chongqing Forest" in his hand. The bumps of the spaceship made the wine less delicious: "I also remember that you said that Fan Liu likes wine very much—" In the game hall, he talked about that a little.

"Does he drink often?" Zhang Luotuo asked.

"Often." Lu Xing nodded thoughtfully, "Every time he told me to quit drinking, he picked up the glass again within two or three weeks, and I could smell the smell of alcohol just by looking at the holographic image."

"Then it should be easy to let him drink again?" Zhang Luotuo said cautiously.Fan Liu likes wine and drinks it often. If it is something he likes, it is very difficult to generate doubts from it.After all it was just a part of his daily life, he was used to it, like breakfast, cigarettes, coke.

Lu Xing sighed, and seemed to agree with this statement: "It's easy—but—" He shook his head at them, "But the problem is that I can't go again, because I have already been there once, and he may not Will doubt wine, but will doubt me."

Joad looked back from the window, and the small lights in those tall apartments were like small colorful building blocks, inlaid between the floors: "Then let me do it."

Lu Xing struggled violently from the contemplation of the Internet, his eyes widened: "Are you here?" He looked surprised, "But you don't drink."

Zhang Luotuo blinked his eyes, his eyes wandered between the two of them, then he lowered his head and looked at the can in his hand, which read: "Beer".He raised his head and touched the can in Joad's hand. It was also beer. Joad's wine can was lighter than his, and he had already drunk more than half of it.Joad noticed his movement and smiled slightly.And Lu Xing also lowered his head.

"Compared to me, Joad doesn't drink anymore, he can only count as a bit of wine." He explained, very proud of his preferences, as if sitting in front of a large pile of wine, with the bar in front of him, the white A solid wall full of wine with various smells, "Wouldn't it be strange if you went to drink with Fan Liu?"

Zheng Zheng turned her head and wanted to interject into their words, but the artificial navigator coldly reminded her: pay attention to safety.So before she could say anything, she quickly turned her head again, facing the apartment complex she was passing through, and the area they were passing through was now raining, and the rain was pouring down the windows, and the vertical drip was like music sounded.

"Maybe Joad can find an excuse." Zheng Zheng said, in the sound of rain.

"What excuse?" Lu Xing frowned, and began to consider the possibility of this.Zhang Luotuo also put down the can of wine, trying to integrate himself into the conversation.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be particularly delicate. If it's according to what you said, Fan Liu's mind will be half confused when he sees Jiu—as long as he doesn't doubt it." After reaching a certain place, they flew forward, and the faint neon lights flickered in the distance.

"And to some extent, Qiaode is the safest." Zheng Zheng continued. She picked up the can of beer, took a sip, and put it down quickly. She turned around and suddenly winked at Zhang Luotuo, " Sorry, Camel, but before you brought Joad, I thought he was the kind of guy who would stay even if all the management fled, because he didn't seem emotional."

She looked at Zhang Luotuo's expression of wanting to defend Qiao De, and continued to speak calmly, lest Zhang Luotuo would intervene and derail the whole conversation: "So I think Fan Liu's doubts about Qiao De may be the least That's right—the way for Joad to go is feasible." Then she winked playfully at Zhang Luotuo, the meaning was very clear—first suppressed and then raised, and finally I support your boyfriend.

"I want to call this project Project Q." Before Lu Xing got off the spaceship, he said enthusiastically. Zheng Zheng showed an expression of casual interest in the name, as if he thought it was cool, but Zhang Luotuo had no objections. I think it can be called anything.But Joad vetoed it, and he called it by its normal name coldly.

"Plan," he said.

This Q plan, or the official plan, was decided when they were still a few hours away from the main city of Chongqing.Their idea was to ask Qiao De to go to Fan Liu with wine, and asked Fan Liu questions about the south wall in confusion when he was half drunk and half awake.But both the reason and the problem of drinking must be well designed, they are aware of this - Lu Xing brought it up and packaged it like a harmless flower, so that Fan Liu can't be aware of something wrong, especially the latter .As for the former, Lu Xing didn't think it was that important, and Fan Liu always thought very little when he saw wine.

In the next few days, Zheng Zheng's apartment became very lively every night, Zheng Zheng was very unhappy, because the beer in her refrigerator was consumed quickly, and she had to buy a few cans on the way home from work every day. She felt that this disrupted her chaotic but perfect life, but no one listened to her protest.Every night at seven o'clock and eight o'clock, Qiao De and Lu Xing would arrive at the apartment respectively to discuss the plan about Fan Liu, from the time to the various contents of the plan.After discussing all night, they settled on an excuse to find Fan Liu, that is, Zhang Luotuo's replaced left arm had some discomfort and needed to be checked.Lu Xing thinks this excuse is very good, Zhang Luotuo can also go with him, it is fair and square, and the two can take care of each other.

They were a little worried that Fan Liu would remotely manipulate the prosthesis instead of using holograms.The remote control of the prosthetic body can help complete the affairs on the earth, but any feelings of the prosthetic body will not be conveyed to Fan Liu on Mars, including drunkenness.The holographic image is Fan Liu himself talking to them on Mars. What he actually did is what he actually did. The holographic image is just his projection. What Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo need is the second type: Qiao De on Mars actually drinks .

Lu Xing made a sacrifice for this: "I made an excuse to let him use the prosthetic body to accompany me out on the morning you were going, and it took me an hour and a half." He grinned and said, "Time-consuming is my specialty. long."

As for wine, Lu Xing suggested that they choose "Fomen", an old-fashioned wine that has been passed down from the old world. It has a high alcohol content, and half a glass can make people intoxicated.This is also one of Fan Liu's favorite wines, and Lu Xing thought it might have some effect.And the choice of time is much easier. They set the time to go on Saturday, and Mars will also rest on that day, and the monitoring of the base will be much more relaxed than usual.

They called Fan Liu, and Qiao De contacted Fan Liu in his own name, and described some abnormalities in Zhang Luotuo's left arm with false words. After several rounds of inquiries, Fan Liu agreed to him, and then Do a check on Zhang Luotuo, finally they set the time for Saturday, 10:30pm.Fan Liu thought it was a good time.

Good night.Fan Liu said to Qiao De.After hanging up the phone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.They rearranged the plan again, which took about half an hour.Half an hour later, Lu Xing stood up tiredly, ready to get up and go home for a long sleep, Zheng Zheng stood up with him, she hoped that they would have a quick rest so that they could clean up the beer cans all over the floor.Zhang Luotuo gently put Mao Mao lying on his belly on the sofa, covered it with a quilt, and went to tidy it up with Zheng Zheng, and then went to wash.

When he came out of the shower, Zheng Zheng had already gone to bed.But Zhang Luotuo was surprised to find that Qiao De did not return to the room. He was standing in the living room, staring blankly at Ah Coal, which had been turned off, and the radio emitted a blue light that was resting.

Zhang Luotuo walked over. He looked at Joad's side face and noticed that his emotions seemed to be a little bit wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.He could only ask Joad softly, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I want to listen to music." Joad replied, his side face was covered by hazy neon light, and he lowered his eyes.

They returned to the room, turned on Zheng Zheng's electronic record player, closed the doors and windows, and turned the sound to the minimum.

The blue screen flashed on the record player and appeared.

"What do you want?" the female voice asked softly.

Zhang Luotuo considered it for a while: "Sweet Honey."

He hadn't heard the song for so long, so long that he hardly remembered it himself.

Songs with rough sound quality flowed in the room, the voice was gentle but loud, and Zhang Luotuo felt that he was gently wrapped.Joad's body stood by the window, slowly relaxing in the singing, he looked at the corner of the room in a daze, and something obscure and bleak slowly floated out of his body.Zhang Luotuo turned around and walked to Qiao De's side. There was only a dozen centimeters between them, and everything was covered by silence.

"...The first time I heard this song was at Fan Liu's place." After a while, Joad spoke up, and he said cautiously, "I was 14 years old at the time, and it hadn't been long since I came to the Mars base. Relax, and he noticed it. One day he called me to his place and played me a song, and it was "Sweet Honey," and I was hooked the first time I heard it."

Zhang Luotuo listened quietly without speaking.

"He is almost like the half-father of each of us. He basically supports everything we do, including some things on earth that are originally against the rules, such as saving you."

Joad's tone was as cold as usual, but confusion seeped out of it: "...but now I want to steal something from him."

"Are you feeling guilty?" Zhang Luotuo asked softly. He watched Joad raise his head and face him, very confused.

Joad shook his head: "No, it's hard for me to say... What I'm mainly thinking about now is actually another point." He stretched his feet out of the bed and stuck them on the cold floor.

He felt it for a while, and finally said calmly: "He is so kind to us... because he knows that Mars is going to give up on us, and we can't go back to Mars after four years?"

Zhang Luotuo couldn't answer, and couldn't answer either.This is too confusing a question for him.He felt that he had feelings, many feelings, and he had friends, and he loved them as he loved all men, but he had no father and never had such feelings.He loves Ah Mei and Mao Mao, and they love him back as a matter of course.The reason they love him is because he is their owner and family.As for Zheng Zheng, they are friends.The only different love is Joad, but that's too small and too complicated.

He reached out and hugged Joad.He felt Joad's hands tighten behind his back, his face pressed against his neck.He lowered his head and smelled the forest smell in Joad's hair.He felt his heart tighten, and a feeling came over him, like happiness, but also like a combination of sadness and sadness.He closed his eyes and saw the distant ocean. They stood by the sea and let their feet dip into the salty white soft sand.
