Meng Xing searched around for a while without giving up. He searched every unnoticed corner of the alley, but found nothing.

When he returned to the press conference site, the press conference was over, and Wen Rulan was looking around anxiously, as if looking for him.

Meng Xing beckoned to Wen Rulan. After Wen Rulan saw him, the anxiety on his face finally receded. He walked up to Meng Xing and asked, "Where have you been?"

Meng Xing didn't answer, but instead asked Wen Rulan for something: "Do you have the video of this press conference?"

Wen Rulan was stunned and didn't understand why Meng Xing suddenly wanted the video. But seeing that Meng Xing seemed to be in a hurry to get it, he replied: "I'll ask someone to bring the video."

The press conference was held in the lobby on the first floor of the institute where Wen Rulan worked. Naturally, such a confidential place was monitored. As an important professor here, it was just a matter of words for him to find someone to remove the surveillance.

Wen Rulan worked very efficiently. Ten minutes later, the entire video of the press conference was placed in front of Meng Xing.

Also placed in front of Meng Xing was a laptop that could play videos. Meng Xing inserted the memory card storing the videos into the computer slot, moved the mouse, and opened the video records.

The angle of this surveillance video is very good, overlooking the whole situation, and the corner that Meng Xing pays special attention to is not left behind.Meng Xing searched for the date and time he wanted in the surveillance videos.

Wen Rulan watched his movements from the side, watched Meng Xing pull the time bar to the middle of the press conference, and suddenly pressed pause.

Wen Rulan didn't understand why Meng Xing paused here at first, but soon, after Meng Xing zoomed in on a distant camera and zoomed in on someone, he finally understood.

"Wu Jin...?" Wen Rulan hesitated.

On the video, only half of the face of this man in black was exposed, and it is logical that he couldn't see his face clearly, but this half of his face and his overall figure made him feel very similar to Wu Jin.

"You also think he looks like Wujin?" Meng Xing asked.

Wen Rulan nodded.Meng Xing looked at the frozen picture on the screen. Since Wen Rulan had the same feeling as him, it meant that it was not his illusion. He told him that he found Wujin by accident and chased after him to search for it, but found nothing.

That is to say... Wujin is indeed not dead, and he came here again... "What exactly is he trying to do?" Wen Rulan frowned.

"I don't know either, but I don't have any good intentions anyway. Just remember to be careful." Meng Xing warned.

Wen Rulan agreed.

Then Meng Xing had nothing to say, they didn't even know where Wu Jin was, so naturally they couldn't do anything except be careful.

Meng Xing checked the time. The press conference had only lasted for two hours. It was only ten o'clock in the morning. He was an unemployed vagrant and didn't know what to do, so he asked Wen Rulan: "What to do next?"

"Next..." Wen Rulan was about to answer, when a colleague in a white research institute uniform ran over: "Professor Wen, how long will it take you? You need to check the commissioning work yourself, we dare not make the decision." .”

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. It could be seen that Wen Rulan was looking for him very anxiously.

"I'll be there right away." Wen Rulan replied.

Only then did the colleagues in the research institute agree to leave, and when they left, they did not forget to say: "Professor Wen, please hurry up, the top is urging the progress."

After getting another assurance from Wen Rulan, he really left.

Wen Rulan turned to Meng Xing and explained: "Although the artificial sun has basically been developed, it still needs final debugging. I must lead a team to check, so..."

Even if he didn't explain, Meng Xing could tell from the behavior of Wen Rulan's colleague that he was probably the only one with nothing to do, and Wen Rulan was actually quite busy.

"Go and do your work." Meng Xing took the initiative and said, "I can just walk around by myself."

"I usually get off work at six o'clock in the evening, but recently... I may work overtime until ninety o'clock." Wen Rulan said while looking at the time on his phone. He spoke faster and faster: "If it's too late, you can just call back. Home, I'll give you the key..."

He just wanted to get the key, but Meng Xing directly refused: "No, I'll go back together after you get off work."

Wen Rulan's fingers holding the key paused, and then he obediently put the key back into his pocket. His brows and eyes, which were a little impatient because he was in a hurry, suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth curved uncontrollably.

"Okay." After he finished answering, he turned around and went to the elevator without stopping, swiped his employee card, and went to the top of the research institute where outsiders could not go.

The employee card is only the first identification procedure. The higher the level of the institute, the higher the security level and the stricter the identity verification. Even Wen Rulan can't bring people in, so Meng Xing can only stay in the lobby on the first floor. wait.

The environment here is actually pretty good, with plenty of heating, a sofa for entertaining guests, a TV playing TV programs in front, and a coffee table with drinks and snacks on the side.

There is no shortage of food, drink and entertainment. It stands to reason that you should not wait here for a long time. Even if you live here, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

However, Meng Xing only stayed here for three hours, and he couldn't stay longer when it was just one o'clock in the afternoon.

The countdown to the doomsday never stopped. Wen Rulan was working overtime and was busy leading the team to debug the artificial sun, while he was just a worm on the sofa. It was really frustrating.

No, he can't just sit on the couch wasting time.Meng Xing made up his mind, so he didn't hesitate any longer. He stood up directly from the sofa, put on a heavy cotton coat for wind and snow, and pushed open the door of the research institute.

The moment the door was pushed open, the low-temperature air, which was different from the warm heating in the room, hit Meng Xing's face. He was so excited that he couldn't help but take a step back.

A day has passed since the snowstorm, and the temperature has warmed up slightly, but only slightly, the temperature is still below zero, the ground is covered with thick snow, the sun's light is getting dimmer, the scorching summer, and even the mild spring, are no longer Nor will it come.

Meng Xing glanced at the sun in the sky. When he looked directly at the sunlight, he didn't feel glaring at all. Instead, the halo was very gentle, as gentle as dying.

This is probably the weakest sun he has ever seen in his life, and the record in his life is still being refreshed. Every minute and every second, the sun that is about to go out will become weaker.

Meng Xing wrapped his collar tightly, tucked his hands into his long cuffs, and stepped out of the institute again.

He wanted to look for Wujin's trace, although he might not be able to find it, but sitting and waiting, let alone waiting, he would always try to find it.

Meng Xing didn't have any destination, so he chose a direction at random. The research institute was built in a remote place, so he walked for a while before seeing the houses.

Places where people live are always lively and warm. In Meng Xing's era, aunts dancing square dances, uncles walking with birds in cages, and playing chess together could be seen in every community park.

However, in the apocalypse, there are none of these, and there are only gray and despairing faces.

After Qi Ruiwen's speech, people have vented hysterically, but venting can't change anything, grief is still grief, and despair is still despair.

People stopped going to work because it was meaningless, and students stopped going to school because it was meaningless.

The careers, studies, and wealth that people have worked hard for half their lives will be buried in ice and snow after eight days. When the end comes, the outside of Noah's city will become a frozen snowfield, and the people blocked outside the city will also become stiff statues in the extremely cold temperature.

Limbs are coagulated, blood is frozen, and thinking is always stagnant at that moment.This slowly approaching and inescapable death is even crueler than Ling Chi.

After Meng Xing walked for a long time, he was also used to seeing these despairing and ashamed faces. Gradually, he even became numb as if he was used to it.

But this numbness was instantly broken when he saw a face that was different from everyone else, with a happy smile.

It was a little girl holding a lollipop, wrapped tightly in a big padded jacket, her short arms stretched out from the sleeves with difficulty, and finally delivered the candy to her mouth, and she smiled contentedly and happily stand up.

Although her smile is only due to ignorance and ignorance, she doesn't understand that the end is coming, and she doesn't understand the true meaning of death, but in such a desperate ice and snow, her flushed face is also eye-catching.

So Meng Xing noticed the other party at a glance. The little girl was being held by an older woman, probably the girl's mother. The girl's mother was talking to a man. While talking, she handed over the suitcase she was carrying. passed. The suitcase was specially locked with a safety lock, and it looked like the contents inside were valuable.

The man took it, weighed it, and then assured him with satisfaction: "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I have the connections."

The girl's mother hurriedly thanked her.What the hell were these two doing? Meng Xing didn't pay much attention, he just stared at the little girl in a daze.

It wasn't that he had any evil intentions, he just felt that such a smile was valuable before the end, and he wanted to see it for a while longer.

He probably looked at it for a long time, which caught the attention of the little girl. While eating the candy, she quietly took two steps back, hid behind her mother, and looked at Meng Xing cautiously and warily.

Meng Xing touched his nose in embarrassment. It was the first time he was mistaken for a bad guy. He looked away and continued walking.

Despair is the majority. The reason why such smiles are rare is because they are rare. At least, Meng Xing has never seen any face full of such a happy smile until the sunset.

The sunset is very early, it is only five o'clock now.Wen Rulan will get off work at six o'clock. Although it is very likely that he will work overtime, Meng Xing doesn't want Wen Rulan to be disappointed because he can't find him after get off work, so he has to go back early.

At six o'clock in the evening, Meng Xing returned to the hall on the first floor of the research institute. Wen Rulan was working overtime as expected. Meng Xing had already expected it, so he sat on the sofa and waited.

At a quarter past six, Meng Xing received a text message from Wen Rulan, telling him that he would have to work overtime until about eight o'clock.

Meng Xing replied: "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Wen Rulan didn't reply. He was probably very busy. He took the time out of his busy schedule to send this text message.

And he was late in the end, Meng Xing waited from eight o'clock to nine o'clock, and then from nine o'clock to ten o'clock before he came down from upstairs.He walked in a hurry, his coat was draped on his arms indiscriminately, and he didn't even have time to put it on.

He looked around in the hall, looking a little uneasy. He was afraid that Meng Xing would leave first because he couldn't wait any longer.

And when he searched around and did not find Meng Xing's figure, this anxiety disappeared instead.Perhaps it was because he had already imagined the worst, so when it actually happened, he was not particularly disappointed.

However, he still felt lost for a moment, so he stood at the elevator door and did not move for a moment.

The colleagues from the research institute who came out a step behind him saw that he was still standing here, so they greeted him friendly: "Professor Wen, are you still going back?"

"Let's go right away." Wen Rulan replied casually, then took out her mobile phone, and walked out while flipping through text messages.

He saw Meng Xing's "I'll wait for you downstairs", but Meng Xing didn't wait for him.He wasn't ready to be held accountable, because he was indeed the one who was too late.

He originally planned to get off work at eight o'clock, but there was a temporary problem with the data, forcing him to stay and deal with it. He was busy for two hours and could not reply to text messages. Meng Xing could be forgiven for not waiting for him.

Just a little bit disappointed...

Wen Rulan lowered his head and suppressed the expression on his face. He put on his coat and was about to leave the hall when someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

He turned around in astonishment, and became even more astonished when he saw the familiar person.

"This is for you." Meng Xing held two cups of hot drinks in his hands. He handed one to Wen Rulan while talking about the hard-won of these two cups of hot drinks: "The water dispenser in the lobby is broken, so I went to the logistics office to ask the staff to help. I made it now, but after it was finished, I accidentally spilled it, so I had the cheek to ask someone to burn it again..."

He was rambling, complaining about the twists and turns of the road to fetch water, all trivial things, but Wen Rulan didn't find it boring at all, he listened patiently.

He held the paper cups filled with hot drinks in his palms, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Meng Xing had been stuffing the two cups of hot drinks in his cotton clothes and carrying them back in order to keep them warm.

Meng Xing said a long list, and he didn't realize that he was too long-winded until the security guard urged at the door, "We are going to close the door, are you still going?"

Everyone else had already gone home from get off work, and they were the only two standing at the door.Meng Xing quickly ended his topic, and said to Wen Rulan, "Let's go home."

"Okay." Wen Rulan replied with a smile.
