The elevator door closed in front of Meng Xing, and the number showing the number of floors kept rising. Wen Rulan was already far away from Meng Xing, but he still felt a little hot on his face.

He hid in the corner and waited quietly for a while, and only after the heat on his face had almost faded did he come out.

He sat alone on the sofa in the hall, absently watching the TV program on the TV in front of him.After watching it for a short time, his thoughts turned to the previous kisses.

Like most young boys and girls who are in love, after tasting the taste of love for the first time, they can't help being a little addicted to it.Although Meng Xing's first love affair came a little later than the average person, it did not prevent him from being uncontrollably addicted...Obviously Wen Rulan was no longer near him, but he still seemed to be able to feel her warmth and warmth The hot breath, the heat that had faded climbed up his face again.

Guiltyly, Meng Xing took a magazine from the reading shelf, unfolded the pages, and covered his face.

After covering his face tightly, he secretly looked behind the magazine in the direction of the front desk. The receptionist at the front desk was playing with his mobile phone and did not notice him. Meng Xing could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But he blocked it with a magazine for a while, and felt that this was not a solution. As soon as he lost his mind, he couldn't help but think about Wen Rulan, the other person's breath, the touch of the palm when the other person touched his face, and wondered if he was teasing her. His wink.

Can't think about it anymore!Meng Xing closed the magazine, then turned up his collar, and walked out of the institute.

He didn't want to go out today, because his purpose of going out at the beginning was to find Wu Jin, and he had already found Wu Jin, although it wasn't the Wu Jin he thought, but only Ying Long who was very similar to Wu Jin.

But he finally found it. Meng Xing originally wanted to stay in the lobby on the first floor of the research institute today, but he tried to stay there for a while, and found that he would always think about Wen Rulan there, and that's all. face.

Although it has not been discovered yet, if it is discovered...it would be embarrassing to think about it.

So Meng Xing woke up, one is to cool himself down with the cold ice and snow outside, and the other is...he wants to find something to do for himself, temporarily take his mind off of Wen Rulan, so as not to make the day seem so difficult.

He didn't go wandering around anymore. There was nothing to visit anymore. The city was half-empty. Although some people with tickets were left, many people with tickets were still outside the city and were undergoing strict identity verification. , put them into the city one by one.

So the city is very empty and quiet at the moment, with no shops open and few pedestrians walking. Occasionally I meet one or two pedestrians on the road, and they all look like they are in a hurry and are busy doing business. They no longer have the air of a common man.

Meng Xing's goal is very clear. He wants to go home and choose a beautiful flower to make up for the promise he failed to fulfill yesterday.

Although he didn't ask for the house key before, Wen Rulan gave it to him afterwards, not only the house key, but also the car key as a spare.Wen Rulan is at work now, the car is parked in the parking lot, Meng Xing can definitely drive back, this way it will be much faster.

But it's a pity that Meng Xing doesn't have a driver's license, and he doesn't know how to drive a snowmobile. There are no means of transportation in the empty urban area, so he can only use the most stupid way to walk back.

Fortunately, Meng Xing estimated that the total round trip was about seven or eight kilometers, which was easy considering his physical strength.

But on the way home, Meng Xing discovered that the road that was fine when he came had been dug up. Workers are busy laying cables on the road.

As for the direction of the cable connection, Meng Xing glanced at the center of the city. It was the central tower. It was under construction for several days of overtime, and the central tower was almost completed, leaving only the final cable laying.

He took another look at the four corners of the city. The construction of the four auxiliary towers was almost completed, and the hardware was basically in place. As long as Wen Rulan's research team responsible for debugging the core program did not have any problems, this miracle in the apocalypse, the artificial sun, would cause .

As for the progress of Wen Rulan's debugging, Meng Xing didn't know, Wen Rulan didn't tell him, and he didn't ask.But seeing Wen Rulan's unhurried attitude this morning, he thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Meng Xing couldn't help with research matters. The only thing he could do was to pick up Wen Rulan from get off work on time and send him a late flower to make someone happy while he was busy at work.

Meng Xing continued to walk home. Due to road construction, he had to take a detour. This detour took him around half of the city. He went directly to the edge of the city.

A day ago, this was not the edge. But at this moment, a high-voltage power grid has been set up here, like an ancient unbreakable city wall, blocking out the scourge.

But those who were blocked outside were not scourges, but the same living and abandoned people as in the city.

Meng Xing saw a black crowd outside the power grid, many people gathered here, not queuing up to enter the city with tickets, they were all people without tickets.

Because Meng Xing heard the loud shouts from the crowd, some of the words were particularly sharp, such as "unfair", "secret operation", and "the quota is determined by default".

The crowd roared and crowded, trying to break through the blockade. However, frightened by the power of the high-voltage power grid and the soldiers with live ammunition, they could only stop outside the power grid unwillingly.

But they refused to retreat like this, but stood in the ice and snow, confronting the soldiers inside the wall.

Meng Xing saw the confrontation scene in his eyes. In fact, he didn't completely let go of the question when he met the leather jacket last night. He just didn't think about it for the time being. The speechless question rose from the bottom of my heart again.

His feet seemed to have taken root and he could no longer take a step.

But Meng Xing clenched his fists, covered his ears, and took this step cruelly.He had to take this step, Wen Rulan was still waiting for him, and he had to complete the agreement with Wen Rulan.

His heart hardened again, and he walked faster and faster, and further and further away.Finally, he could no longer hear those shouts and questions.

He returned home, picked the most colorful flower in the vase, packed it carefully, and set off again.

He started to detour again, longer than the way back, but avoiding the edge of the city, and avoiding the angry people who surrounded the grid.

This trip was originally expected to be completed in two hours, but Meng Xing had to walk for four hours. When he returned to the institute again, despite his physical strength, he was still a little tired.

He took off his heavy coat, sat on the soft sofa, enjoying the warm indoor heating, he was resting and relaxing.Slowly, his body recovered and his energy regained.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, according to Wen Rulan's usual off-duty time, there was still some waiting.

Meng Xing originally thought that waiting would be difficult because he couldn't stop thinking about Wen Rulan, but after he went out and came back, he found that he no longer thought about Wen Rulan.

It wasn't that he was in love with someone else, but that his mind always involuntarily moved to the group of people he saw on the edge of the city who were blocked outside the power grid and shouted angrily.

Finally, Meng Xing couldn't help but took out his phone and opened the most commonly used social software in this era. He browsed through hot topics and comments from netizens.

It was all voices of condemnation and questioning.

People who didn't have tickets at first, but suddenly got tickets in the next few days, were not alone. Meng Xing was one, and so was the son of a senior government official that the liar mentioned. Besides them, there are many others.

After all, this matter was not concealed. In the past few days, more and more examples have been exposed, and people's anger and suspicion have also increased.

Because these examples show that the government is lying from beginning to end. There is no random selection and no fairness. There are only lies whitewashed by those in high positions, which unknowingly take away the right of ordinary people like them to survive.

After several days of exposure and fermentation, people's anger reached its peak. Those who gathered outside the power grid to protest and express their anger and dissatisfaction were only part of the group. Such protests were also taking place in other places that Meng Xing did not see.

Some have even gone beyond protests. For example, Noah City’s only open entrance for ticket checking was just attacked at noon. Some insane assailants shouted “We must die together” and then ignited the two barrels of gasoline they carried. .

The fire ignited the entrance in an instant, injuring a dozen people and killing five, and the number of casualties is still increasing.

There were other violent incidents, with less serious casualties than this arson incident, that occurred outside the city of Noah.

Meng Xing saw many shocking pictures, as well as many words of despair and anger.

His finger swiping down the message got faster and faster. He wanted to quickly swipe through the pictures and comments he didn't want to see, but when he swipe down, the content was still similar.

He was sitting alone on the warm sofa of the institute, but he seemed to be surrounded by cold and desperate people. People said nothing, only looked at him with their bloodshot eyes and questioned him.

Why do you have tickets? !

Meng Xing suddenly threw down his phone and covered his face with his hands. He couldn't look at it anymore.

Meng Xing tried to stop himself from paying attention to these news, and just think about Wen Rulan like he did in the morning.But he still couldn't control it. When the phone received a new message push, he took another look.

This news is different from the previous ones. It comes from the government and the president's rumors.

President Qi Ruiwen just released a short video, which stated that the so-called examples of ticket replacement on the Internet are all rumors and lies created by criminals to disrupt social stability. The government has been trying its best to protect the rights and interests of every resident and ensure that this time the draw is completely random.

In the end, he also took out his blank ticket again, showing that he was on the same front as most people.

What he said was righteous and true, and Meng Xing really believed it when he heard him speak for the first time on August 8st.

But now Meng Xing knows that these are all lies, all for show, so what if Qi Ruiwen got a blank ticket, as long as he is the president, he can still enter the city.

Just like those default quotas, Qi Ruiwen's blank ticket was also predetermined, just to make the performance more sincere and convincing.

After Qi Ruiwen issued this rumor-refuting statement, the boiling Internet suddenly became quiet. People seemed to believe the president's story and that the examples they saw were merely fake.

But Meng Xing looked carefully and found that the silence was just false silence. Accounts that cursed and made doubtful remarks were banned in an instant.

The government represented by Qi Ruiwen blocked people's voices with an iron fist, and used stronger force to suppress those who refused to disperse outside.

An intensified riot was resolved in an instant, and the verification of tickets and the entry of personnel continued.

Everything seems to be calm again, and the Internet has also changed. There are no longer doubtful and angry remarks, only praises of understanding and support for the government's actions.

Meng Xing casually clicked on an account to express his support, and found that it was a small account that didn't even have an avatar, and there was no breath of life in the account, like a ghost or a zombie that suddenly appeared.

Meng Xing didn't read it anymore, because he knew that there were probably no real people behind these accounts, but just a batch review machine used to control public opinion.

Qi Rui heard that he was whitewashing the peace, which was not a long-term solution, but he still did it. Because he knew that as long as he lasted for two more days, when the end came, those voices of opposition and dissatisfaction would freeze in the wind and snow.

I just need to hold on for two more days... If I can really hold on for these two days... Meng Xing thought a little absentmindedly, what kind of doomsday is destined to come on August 8th?

He couldn't continue thinking because someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Meng Xing turned around in surprise, and saw Wen Rulan who was smiling.

"Scared?" Wen Rulan asked after seeing Meng Xing's exaggerated reaction.

"No..." Meng Xing replied subconsciously, he just didn't expect Wen Rulan to leave work so early.He glanced at the time, why did he feel that Wen Rulan got off work a little too early today?So that he was completely unprepared.

Facts have proved that this was not his illusion. Wen Rulan got off work really early. It was supposed to work from 8 to 6, but he worked overtime every day. But today, instead of working overtime, he actually got off work early. It was only 5 Halfway through.

"The debugging is over?" Meng Xing guessed.

"That's right." Wen Rulan nodded: "We have to wait until tomorrow for the last few steps to be done on the central tower, but I have nothing to do today, so I got off work early."

Meng Xing let out an "Ah", and at the same time took out the flower that he packed.

In fact, Wen Rulan had already smelled the fragrance of flowers a long time ago, and this faint scent was particularly conspicuous in such a world of ice and snow, but he pretended not to know, and at this moment, a hint of surprise appeared just right, he took the flowers, with a sincere smile on his lips. Smile.

Meng Xing couldn't help laughing. The moment he saw the other party, he forgot all the turmoil on the Internet. He wanted to go forward and hold the other party's hand, but because there were people in the hall when he was off work Go, he didn't feel the nerve to stretch.

But just go home and you won't have to worry about anything at home, so he suggested: "Go home."

Wen Rulan gave an "um" and walked out of the research institute side by side with Meng Xing.They got on the snowmobile, Wen Rulan was in charge of driving, and Meng Xing was in the co-pilot.

On the way home, Wen Rulan looked at the time and suddenly remembered: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No." Meng Xing replied. He was very good at eating these days, just buying some bread from the vending machine. Today, before he had time to buy it, Wen Rulan came down.

"I didn't eat either." Wen Rulan suddenly thought: "It's rare that it's so early today. Let's buy some ingredients and go back to make dinner by ourselves."

"Okay." Meng Xing agreed.

When he lived alone in the past, he always took care of his own meals and daily life. Like most men who did not live a refined life, he tried to be as simple as possible in his three meals. He would never boil noodles if he could soak them. Effortlessly pouring food.

But cooking dinner with someone you like... feels like a family. Meng Xing was moved by Wen Rulan's suggestion and suddenly looked forward to cooking with Wen Rulan.

Wen Rulan thought the same way. Meng Xing couldn't cook by himself, and he couldn't do it either. His status in each world didn't allow him to cook with his own hands. At this moment, I suddenly wanted to cook, but I just remembered that I heard my colleagues chatting about the interesting things about cooking with my wife.

He acted completely indifferent at the time and even scolded his colleagues to stop doing irrelevant things while at work. But in fact, he had been looking forward to cooking with Meng Xing, and it wasn't just about cooking. He also wanted to be with Meng Xing forever, like a real couple, holding hands together.

It's just that working overtime every day before, not to mention cooking by yourself, it's good to have time to eat, and besides... Meng Xing at that time was still a straight man who refused to accept himself.

Now that the conditions are finally gathered, Wen Rulan can hardly wait.

He drove the car to the entrance of a large supermarket. Most of the supermarket's original employees did not have tickets, but the supermarket was still open. The staff working inside were all arranged by the government. In order to ensure the normal operation of Noah City If the city is running smoothly, people in the city will not be short of supplies, and supermarkets will have sufficient stocks.

Moreover, because a large number of people had not yet entered the city, the supermarket was very empty, so Meng Xing and Wen Rulan were able to stroll slowly from beginning to end.

Meng Xing was in charge of pushing the cart, while Wen Rulan was in charge of picking the dishes. He doesn't know how to choose, that is, he just buys the expensive ones. Anyway, he is not short of money.

Similarly, he will not control the quantity.For the dinner for two, he picked out a cart full of dishes in a daze.As long as Meng Xing expresses his preference for a certain ingredient, or stays in his eyes for two more seconds, he will put it in the shopping cart.

After shopping around, the two went to the cashier to check out.

Meng Xing watched the cashiers scan the product codes of the truckload of products one by one, and also watched Wen Rulan suddenly take another item from the shelf next to the cashier.

It's no longer food, but... Meng Xing's face started to flush again. Seeing that the salesperson was still scanning the QR code intently, he quietly leaned into Wen Rulan's ear and said, "Would it be too much for you to buy this?" early?"

After all, they have just started to fall in love, and it has been less than a day.

However, Wen Rulan was not swayed by Meng Xing's words. He went his own way and put a certain type of condom that said ultra-thin and close-fitting into the shopping cart, and at the same time he said plausibly: "Be prepared."
