The two of them left the research institute together, and at the same moment they went out, a cold wind hit their faces. Meng Xing had been walking outside for a day and was used to the coldness, but Wen Rulan was not used to it. He had been staying in the warm laboratory and was shivering in the cold wind.

Seeing this, Meng Xing suddenly put his cup of hot drink into Wen Rulan's hand, and then walked ahead alone to clear the way before Wen Rulan could react.

The howling cold wind was mostly blocked by his straight back. Wen Rulan is very afraid of the cold. His physique is not good. He has been strengthened by other powers in the world of cultivation or spiritual power, but in an ordinary world without any supernatural power, he has an ordinary human body.

He has a thin build and is afraid of the cold. But at this moment, looking at Meng Xing walking in front of her, Wen Rulan suddenly felt no longer cold.

He didn't want to let Meng Xing walk in front alone, so he jogged two steps on the snow, wanting to walk side by side with Meng Xing. But because it was inconvenient to move with two cups of hot drinks in his hands, and the snow on the soles of his feet was slippery, he almost fell.

Meng Xing supported him in time, and Wen Rulan didn't fall on her face, but she inevitably spilled two cups of hot drinks. Meng Xing muttered "Why are you so careless?" while helping Wen Rulan wipe off all the water drops on her body.

His words sounded like complaints and disgust, but in fact there was not much such blaming emotion. After confirming that Wen Rulan was not burned, he stretched out his hand and said with a helpless expression: "Hold it."

"Yes." Wen Rulan agreed softly, and he took Meng Xing's hand.

His grip was so tight that Meng Xing felt that even if they were walking in a crowded amusement park, Wen Rulan would never let go of him because of the crowds.

He seemed to have indeed said that he would never let go of him. Meng Xing suddenly remembered that in the second dream, Wen Rulan said to himself when she was the prime minister that she would never let him go even if she died.

But he finally let go of Meng Xing because he was dead. Meng Xing thought of the body that was gradually losing its body temperature in his arms, as cold as Wen Rulan's fingers at the moment.

Although the two are not the same, one is the coldness of death, and the other is the low temperature of the outside world, Meng Xing couldn't help but tighten his grip. He tugged on his sleeve and pulled Wen Rulan's hand into his sleeve. , wanting to warm the other person's fingers.

Wen Rulan also allowed him to play around like this. He hid all the dangerous and dark things in his character. In front of Meng Xing, he was as obedient as a ferret who could stroke his fur at will.

The two of them were led away under the dim street lights to the deserted parking lot. The other institute employees had already left. There was only one car parked in the parking lot, and they were the only couple.

But they were not alone. The two held hands tightly, and the shadows under the street lights overlapped, like a sweet couple.

But they were not a couple after all. At least Meng Xing didn't admit it. After walking to the snowmobile, he let go of his hand.

Wen Rulan gave up and got into the driver's seat. After Meng Xing got into the passenger seat, he started the engine and drove home.

This road was very quiet, and the temperature at night was lower than during the day. No one wanted to go out in this low temperature, and the streets were deserted, and the silence was terrifying.

But the emptiness of the outside world was blocked by the car window. Every time Wen Rulan turned his head, he would see Meng Xing sitting next to him, and his heart settled.

He drove slowly, nominally for safe driving, but actually wanted to prolong the time alone with Meng Xing.

But no matter how long the road is, it has an end. Near midnight, they finally arrived home.

The two of them didn't say anything after they got home. Wen Rulan was exhausted after doing calculations for a day, and Meng Xing was exhausted after walking most of the city. They each took a shower, said "good night" to each other, and then went back to rest.

The next day, just like yesterday, Meng Xing followed Wen Rulan to the research institute. After waiting for Wen Rulan to go upstairs to work, he left alone and continued to search for Wu Jin in the vast sea of ​​people.

Still found nothing.

Meng Xing was not very disappointed. This was originally a matter of luck. If you were to find a needle in a haystack, you would be lucky if you found it. If you couldn't find it, it would be normal.

This time he changed direction and walked near the central tower that was under construction. Although it was said to be nearby, it was actually quite far away. A few kilometers away from the central tower, the road was blocked, and the army was stationed nearby to prevent crazy people from destroying this last hope of mankind.

However, the tower was very tall, with its top reaching straight into the sky and being hidden by the clouds. Like the legendary pillar that towers over the sky and the earth, Meng Xing could see it clearly even from a long distance away.

He saw workers busy above, and he looked back again, and quickly found the four auxiliary towers distributed in the four directions of the central tower.

Although the auxiliary tower was built in a remote location, it was still within the city limits. Noah's City was not a city created out of thin air, but was transformed based on the original capital city. The auxiliary towers are connected two by two in a line. Inside the line is Noah City, and outside the line is the abandoned Doomsday Icefield.

The people living within the line are still ordinary residents, not all ticket holders, such as Meng Xing. But it is estimated that in a few days, the government will start evicting people who have not received tickets and drive them out of the line.

This move was cruel, but helpless.

No one wants to give up their companions, especially if they have to give up such a huge number as 59 billion, but manpower is always in danger, and existing technology cannot save everyone, so it can only retain a part. Random selection, including the president, is the fairest method and no one can raise any objection.

As for what Meng Xing should do when the time comes...he doesn't know, just take it one step at a time. Moreover, Wen Rulan said he would solve it, but he doesn't know how he is going to solve it.

Meng Xing didn't think about it anymore. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost six o'clock again. He had to pick up Wen Rulan from get off work.

Wen Rulan still has to work overtime this time. He is racing against the doomsday and must seize every minute and every second to ensure that the artificial sun is foolproof.

Meng Xing knew the importance of Wen Rulan's work, so even if Wen Rulan didn't reply to his text messages and was nowhere to be seen, he didn't rush or get angry, and just waited downstairs with peace of mind.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he went home with Wen Rulan, who had finished work early.

It was still a dull journey back, and time turned and it was the fourth day. Meng Xing repeated the schedule of the previous two days, and also repeated the ending of the previous two days, but achieved nothing.

Another day later, August 8, Meng Xing accompanied Wen Rulan to the institute. After watching Wen Rulan get on the elevator, she walked out again.

He had wandered in other directions, so he went back to the first direction.

The weather is getting warmer, like the sun's last rays before it dies. There were a little more pedestrians on the street than the previous two days, but even though there were more people, it was still very quiet. Everyone is quiet, walking alone on the road, no one talks, no one talks.

Their expressions were also very calm, as if they had accepted the reality and were at peace in the face of the doomsday.

But these calms are like the surface of a frozen lake. The surface of the lake is covered with thick ice, covering the raging undercurrent underneath. It is despair, or something darker.

Meng Xing did not have the ability to see through people's hearts. He once had mind-reading cards, but this ability ceased at the end of the second dream, so he was unaware of these undercurrents until he found himself in a familiar place. At the intersection, I met a familiar person again.

Meng Xing saw the little girl again. This time she was not holding candy, and there was no mother holding her hand next to her. She no longer had the happy smile on her face, her mouth was tightly pursed, and her eyes were wet. She thought I wanted to step forward but didn't dare. I was so anxious that I almost cried.

Meng Xing followed her gaze and saw the girl's mother and the man who discussed things with the girl's mother last time.

The girl’s mother is a very dignified and elegant lady. Even in the last days, she took care of herself carefully, painted her nails, and put on ironed clothes before going out, just like the embroidered cartoons she carefully selected for her daughter. Patterned cotton coats.

Meng Xing didn't recognize the brand of these clothes, but the workmanship showed that they were valuable. With such financial conditions, and the girl's mother's elegant and decent conversation, he speculated that this woman must be a successful person in some field. .

But now she no longer had the elegance of the past few days. Her hair became a mess in the struggle, and her nails were split due to pulling and dragging.

She was like a shrew who had thrown away the accomplishments she had cultivated over the past decades and only clung desperately to the man to whom she had given all her fortune. He was not her husband, but just a man who claimed to be able to help her daughter. Merchant with tickets to Noah's city.

"You said you could help me get the tickets! I've already given you all the money! I gave it all to you!" She screamed, her manners completely gone.

The man she was dragging only wanted to pull her away, his face full of impatience. He was not tall, but the difference in physical strength as a man still allowed him to drag the girl's mother on the snow.

If it weren't for the girl's mother's persistence in keeping her daughter alive, she might have been torn apart by him long ago.

But even if it doesn't happen for now, it's only a matter of time before this man completely pulls her away.

Seeing the crazy look of her beautiful mother, the little girl couldn't help but burst into tears. She cried heartbreakingly and shed tears.

And none of the bystanders came forward, not because they didn't know who was right and who was wrong. Everyone can see that this is actually a very typical scam. Where did he get the tickets? This man is obviously a liar. His clothes are very sloppy. He is probably some kind of gangster who hangs out on the streets. From top to bottom, Not a shred of credibility.

It stands to reason that a well-educated person should not fall into such a simple scam, but in the swamp of despair, even straw woven with lies will make people cling tightly.

Passers-by could tell what was right and what was wrong, but they did not help. Maybe many people would act bravely on normal days, but before the end of the world, how could people who were also trapped in the quagmire have the strength to rescue others.

They already have too much time to take care of themselves.

Meng Xing was also a person who had no time to take care of himself, but he suddenly took a step forward from the crowd of onlookers.

On the other side of the crowd, where Meng Xing didn't notice, a man in a black windbreaker and a hood that covered most of his face, who was blocked by the crowd, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Meng Xing, and at the same time, he stepped halfway forward The legs were put back again.

After he retreated into the crowd, he watched Meng Xing walk towards the man and woman who were fighting.
