It's still Tomorrow's Ark

"Understand~"

Li Lin waved his hand at the clerk who was already dressed to go out and was about to run away. It seemed that the characteristic of being able to make strange friends anywhere was vividly reflected at this moment.

The clerk of the hardware store walked out quickly, and there were only Li Lin and Mostima left in the huge store.

The tail slid uneasily in the air, and Mostima rubbed the edge of the water glass, looking at his back.

"...By the way, Li Lin."

"What?"

"Have you ever thought about getting a girlfriend or something?"

Sitting on the chair with his face propped up, Mostima looked at Li Lin who was constantly comparing and asking for parameters, his tail was wrapped around his arm unnaturally, and asked casually as if he didn't care:

"Haven't you been pretending to be other people's boyfriend to help them deal with their parents? You've been hunted down a lot, so when are you going to really find a girlfriend or something? I'm quite curious."

"Is there no rush for this kind of thing? The main thing is that I want to meet someone who is attracted to me, and the other party can respond to me. Or after a long time, I just make do with it."

"The person who is tempted responds...then when have you ever been tempted by other people? I really don't know."

"I was very moved when I was in the wilderness with you that time."

"..."

I……?

Seeing Li Lin lowering his head and holding the material with his hands to feel the texture, Mostima's breathing stagnated slightly.

But it soon returned to normal, with its tail tightly wrapped around the table leg, and although the expression on his face was still cynical, it also had a slightly more gloomy expression.

"……when?"

"The first time. The time you saved me from moor robbers."

Li Lin squatted in front of the material shelf and said casually, like a grown man facing the feelings of his childhood:

"The wilderness is really scary. Although good things happen occasionally, it's still really scary. You were like a hero to me at that time, the one who could save me."

"But you... haven't said anything."

"Eh? Didn't you say that?"

Li Lin, who was squatting on the ground, turned his back to Mostima for a moment, tilted his head, but replied naturally:

"Maybe it's because of low self-esteem. After all, you see, I don't know anything, and I don't know how to fight. It's just a burden in the wilderness. I was so scared at the time. I was afraid that you would leave me. I was afraid that when you As soon as I left, I was afraid that you would get impatient and leave me behind. So I tried my best to please you at the time, but now that I think about it, I might have done unnecessary things.”

"After all, you seemed to really dislike me at that time. You directly manipulated my spirit when you were on the road, and told me to shut up when you were talking. Occasionally, you would lengthen my thinking and teach me not to talk too much. It will be better afterwards. It’s a lot, but it can be considered as a correct position.”

"Anyway, I don't have much ability, and I can't do anything. Why don't we just establish a good relationship with everyone and try to help everyone solve their problems. It should be okay now. Although it's not what I thought at the beginning."

"Really, there is such a thing..."

Seeing Li Lin struggling to pull out a material that had been dusty for a long time from the material shelf, the girl sitting on the chair bit her lip and sighed slightly.

"A lot of times we really don't know anything...you and me too."

Rubbing the rim of the paper cup with his fingertips, Mostima, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the sky outside the window.

Under a cloudy sky, people walked on the street with laughter and laughter, as if it reflected the feeling of someone who had never obtained but was still lost.

(Ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for a reward! Ask for a blade! Ask for a recommendation ticket!)

Prologue: The Story From Negative Numbers to Zero: Chapter 22 Chapter 21 Never Give Up

Some things are actually known without being said.

For example, regarding Li Lin.

For example, their own affairs.

Another example is that there was actually a third person at that time, and Li Lin would never mention it in front of him.

Looking at Li Lin who was frowning and rubbing the parts, as if he was feeling the subtle difference, Mostima lay on the table, his tail drooped to the side, rubbing the paper cup, and secretly observing him from the gap between his arms back.

In fact, it's not a particularly sad thing, it's just a logical sequence of actions in the wilderness.After all, she was still under surveillance at that time, and she was not in a good mood, but she did not ignore Li Lin who was asking for help, but successfully rescued him.

No matter where the moral concept comes from, she can't be too harsh on her. Rescuing strangers in the wilderness is something that can only be done with a high moral quality.As for the sharing of supplies, after all, the natural disaster messengers don't actually bring many things. Most of the time, they even have to go on foot, and it is impossible to allocate too many things.In any case, it is a normal time, a normal development.

But the more familiar she became, the more intimate she became. What happened in the past kept burning her heart like wildfire.

Even occasionally, like now, Li Lin didn't say anything, but she felt lost on her own.

'Does anyone else worry about gains and losses like I do...'

Or is it only you who is so troublesome?

The two arms formed a small barrier, and the head was deeply buried in it. There were only a few gaps where Li Lin could be seen walking up and down.

But two years ago, Li Lin was definitely not like this.At that time, he had just tried to smuggle to Longmen from the border of Ursas, but he was found by the caravan and kicked off the car, and then captured by the bandits in the wilderness.

Those bandits didn't do much to him, but they were determined to sell him to Londinium or Colombia to rich and powerful rich businessmen and noble women—maybe men—to sell him there. Make a good price.These bandits who were tortured mad by Originium disease and poverty can't control that much.

It is different from Kazdel’s Tower of Babel organization and the humanitarian era when rescue stations and originium inhibitors are distributed all over the world in the wilderness. Ordinary people of the day are tit for tat.And Li Lin ran out from Usasi at that time and was caught in the Wilderness Bandit Group.

My own reason for saving him was also very strange, it was very simple, a certain Li Boli felt that he should do something good, and he felt that it was very troublesome.But Li Boli insisted on doing good deeds, so he acted.

If I had been stubborn and treated everyone indifferently at that time, what would I be like now?

Just thinking about it might cause him to disappear forever because of his boring actions, and now Mastema's heart throbs subconsciously.

This is of course a very boring assumption, and people will laugh at it if it is said.But the thing is not that if you say you understand it, if you explain it clearly, you really understand it.

All kinds of frightening thoughts and illusions will always be shrouded in her mind. Even when she is the messenger of natural disasters, she can't help thinking about these questions in her spare time, always feeling whether she owes something.

If he had been nicer to him when he was on his way, wouldn't he be like this now?If he hadn't been so indifferent when he asked Fiameta about his affairs, would he be better?

Every time I smile at him, it feels like a knife is stabbed in my heart.

That's weird, didn't I save him?In theory, it should be closer, right?

But even though two years have passed, the physical distance has been close to the close distance from the original several meters, but the distance between the hearts has not been even close by a millimeter.

Li Lin naturally didn't care, so what did the savior care about?But also because of the savior and the previous problems, he will not take too many actions.

Obviously she looks cool, but she never thought that she is really a troublesome woman.

Lying on the table and sighing for himself again, Mostima squinted his eyes and gestured for a pistol on the table, aiming at Li Lin's back several times.

But the smooth material directly reflected the various boring little movements of Mostima, which made Li Lin look back at the Sakota man who seemed to be very lonely in surprise, and asked tentatively:

"What's the matter? Are you bored? Then I'll try to hurry up."

"No, I'm here to accompany you anyway. It's more interesting to be with you than to go back to watch variety shows."

"Sure enough, what you saw in the wilderness was stimulated? I think so, otherwise, you wouldn't apply for permanent residency, would you?"

"In a sense, it does."

"Occasionally, you will encounter a lot of uncomfortable things in the wilderness. It's normal for you to want to take a break after so long. Let's hang out together someday."

Li Lin turned around and counted the last equipment on the shelf, and said to the Sakota girl behind him:

"Longmen has released a lot of new things recently, and it's okay to go and relax together."

"Hey, do you really have that money?"

"There will be, there will be, probably."

You probably don't know what I'm talking about, or what I'm longing for.

Looking at Li Lin's back, Mostima silently turned the paper cup into dust, but his eyes became clearer and calmer.

However, even so, there are things that must be done.

"Li Lin."

"Ok?"

"I like you~"

"I like you too."

Li Lin looked at the shelves and said without looking back:

"So what's the matter? It's so strange today. I'll listen to what you say when I go back, so let me deal with the materials a little bit now."

"Good~"

Seeing Li Lin who was unwavering in his heart-to-heart gestures and replied casually, Mostima wagged his tail and curled up into the shape of a heart.

It doesn't matter if it is treated as a joke, and it doesn't matter if you don't feel anything now.Now it has gone from negative to zero, and the next step is to move towards positive.She had already planned that kind of thing.

So, everyone, don't accuse me of being mean.

It's just that sometimes happiness requires consciousness to be qualified to reach out.

Looking at the back of Li Lin turning around and continuing to choose with a smile, Mostima's tail quietly pressed a button on the phone.

Several black cars came out of the gantry without a sound, and gradually approached the area where the locator sounded, shrinking gradually like an invisible hand.

(Ask for a monthly ticket! Ask for a reward! Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a blade!!!)

Prologue: The Story from Negative Numbers to Zero: Chapter 23 Chapter 22 It's okay to be more lively, right?

At the same time, Penguin logistics company office.

Compared with the already slightly cold air and humidity outside, the Penguin logistics room still maintains a quite pleasant temperature.

With the regularization of Longmen in recent years, the business of Penguin Logistics has actually been restrained to a certain extent. The previous gun battles on the street, which turned upside down every now and then, are now rare.

In the final analysis, those gangsters also want to make a living. Now that the environment has improved, everyone is either a worker or a dead person, and there are not many people who come directly to fight and kill. To a certain extent, Penguin Logistics’ recent It's been pretty boring for a while -- and law-abiding.

God is sorry, now the society is so stable and harmonious that even Penguin Logistics doesn't have to be shouted and beaten by everyone when they go out.Even the big guys don't go out to work a lot of time, but are bored in the dormitory or stronghold playing cards and games.If Li Lin hadn't come up with a lot of messy, unbelievably complicated rules but still interesting things that attracted the attention of the emperor, everyone suspected that the panic-stricken emperor would blow up the dragon's gate one day for fun.

However, as the Requiem Festival approached, the emperor's whereabouts became more and more mysterious.Everyone is sure that he is definitely planning something in the dark, but it is also routine for Penguin Logistics.

Today's Penguin Logistics is still idling around in the stronghold, exuding a lazy atmosphere, as if everything has nothing to do with them.

Even though the farewell party was just held yesterday, today the atmosphere is still the same as yesterday, and it looks like a party may be held at any time.

Timely enjoyment is one of the mottos of Penguin Logistics...

While hanging upside down on the sofa, gnawing on the pizza with his head up, the energy angel blinked his eyes while watching the news and interviews on the street layout before the Requiem Festival on TV.
