Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

Celeste looked in the mirror in the bathroom. The hickey marks on his neck just now had disappeared without a trace, and the continuous love did not leave him any discomfort. Even with this body's recovery ability At this time, it reminds him all the time that he is not an ordinary person.

Celeste looked back, Fu Yunlan was still asleep on the bed, and his expression was calm and satisfied after the love. Celeste decided not to wake him up, got dressed and went out.

"Master, I've been embarrassed to jump out to disturb you, can I talk to you for a while now, just for a while." Marth, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but jumped out to show his presence.

"Mass, if I decide to let go and use my knowledge and ability to do something big, will you stop me?" Celeste asked.

"I am your artificial intelligence system. At most, I can only analyze the pros and cons and give suggestions. If the master decides to do something after knowing the impact and consequences, I will only unconditionally support the master's decision."

"So what are you going to tell me now?"

"The thing is like this, you who remember everything in the past, have already expected that you who don't remember anything will sooner or later want to do something unwillingly, so you in the past left a sentence, let me in Let me tell you now when you are ready to expose yourself."

Listening to Marth's twists and turns, Celeste always felt a strange feeling that he couldn't explain: "Go ahead."

"Contact the Blue Shield Group," Marth said.

Celeste froze for a moment: "Why?"

"Sorry, I don't have the authority to answer all other related questions." Masi said regretfully, "I'm afraid you can only go to the people of the Blue Shield Group to find out the reason."

"...Well, I see." Celeste said, "I will find a chance to contact them, or wait for them to contact me. If this blue shield group is related to my special ability, they will sooner or later here."

When Celeste came to the waterworks, old Hunter was overhauling the equipment of the waterworks. Seeing Celeste coming, he climbed down the ladder with oily hands and asked before he could wipe off his sweat, "What's the matter?" ?"

"You're here, and I'm going to look for you later." Celeste looked at the huge factory building and machinery and equipment, thinking about what could be dismantled and used, "I'm going to dismantle the equipment of the water plant, Build a new water purifier here."

"Uh... child, I think you should know that this is the source of water for the entire town. If the equipment here is removed, the town will have to stop the water immediately."

"I know," Thurlist said.

"But you still decided to do it?" Old Hunter said, "Okay then, when do you plan to do it, do you need my help to prepare the manpower tools?"

"Don't you want to ask why?" Celeste asked.

"I don't want to," said old Hunter. "Unlike those optimistic fools, I have clearly seen the end of mankind is approaching, and my own days are numbered. Either let me see it in my lifetime." Miracles happen, or we go crazy at the end and sit and die together, what else can we do?"

"I really hope everyone is as sensible as you." Thelister said, "Let's start demolition the day after tomorrow, and give the townspeople a day to prepare the water they need for the next few days."

After Fu Yunlan woke up and couldn't see Celeste, he began to panic again. Although his reason told him that Celeste should just go out by himself, he hurriedly dressed and went out to find Celeste ster.

When Fu Yunlan came to find him, Celeste was still drawing the blueprint of the hydropower station, planning the details of building a new water purifier with Old Hunter. Seeing Fu Yunlan coming, he threw away the pen: "Let's do this first, and I'll draw out the specific details after the start of work."

Old Hunter held up the blueprint in admiration that although he didn't borrow any tools, it was as accurate as it was drawn on the computer and printed out. , I’ll go find someone right now, and clean up the place first.”

"Cherister, are you ready to start work?" Fu Yunlan said in surprise.

"It's not preparation, it's already started."

"Are you being too anxious?" Fu Yunlan asked uneasy.

"I thought you would be more anxious than me." Celistra put on her hood and walked into the snowstorm outside the door, "Building the water purifier one day earlier, we can start to develop and grow this Base, to save more people struggling on the verge of life and death, what's wrong with that?"

"But you know, Hummingbird Town's current defense strength is seriously insufficient, and I'm not sure to protect you well." Fu Yunlan followed up, consciously standing in the upper wind to shield him from the wind, "Even if we hand over the town to Karl Si, let him protect Hummingbird Town, and his ability may not be able to keep you from being taken away by other forces. Once your skills and abilities are widely known, you will definitely become the focus of various forces. Things, I don't want it to happen again. Give me some time and let me clean up this mess first."

"But, can you become as powerful as when your father was still in a short period of time?" Celeste looked at him and asked.

"Of course not." Fu Yunlan frowned and said, "It took my father more than ten years to make the mercenary group develop like that, but now there are too few recruits or supplies."

"Not to mention that you will not be able to establish a strong enough force in a short period of time. Even if you can manage the Hurricane Mercenary Group as strong as before, it will be of no use. Father used to have so many people under his command, but he is still not alone. I can't even save my own life." Celeste looked at the quiet town in the snowstorm, and said slowly with white mist out of his mouth, "I never expected to rely on the people in the town to protect me. I have already figured out their logic of doing things, they are content with the status quo, they don’t like taking risks, and they won’t work hard for me like you. Once there is an unpredictable danger, they will give up on me to protect themselves without hesitation—even though That kind of preservation may only be a temporary lingering life. And even if they are all willing to die for me, what can they do with their little fighting power? In my eyes, they are population, resources, workers, and reproduction It is the base of more vitality, but it is not my protector."

Fu Yunlan could no longer understand Celeste's meaning: "Then who will protect your safety?"

Celeste didn't answer the question, but turned to look at him and asked, "Lan, do you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you." Fu Yunlan said without hesitation.

"I'm not talking about trusting my character, but trusting my judgment." Thelister said, "Maybe you believe that I won't hurt you, but do you trust my vision and decision?"

Fu Yunlan's brows frowned even tighter, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: "...tell me what exactly you want to do?"

"Playing with fire." Celeste said flatly.

While speaking, they had come near the iron cage where the mutants were kept.

The mutant had obviously not moved for a long time, and it seemed that he was about to freeze into one with the iron cage, but as soon as Celeste and Fu Yunlan approached, he opened his eyes and looked towards them.

"It's you..." The mutant turned off the mp3, took off the earphones and looked at him beside the cage, "You brought a companion today? Did you come to chat with me?"

"Does the mp3 still have power?" Thelister asked.

"Also, I don't want to listen to it all at once, and turn it off for a while." The mutant completely ignored Fu Yunlan, looked at Celeste with piercing eyes and said, "Where did you get such good music?" , almost every song is a legend."

Celeste said: "In fact, I still have a lot of music that you haven't heard, so much, so much that even if you only listen to each song once, it will take decades to finish listening to it."

The mutated man's eyes lit up for a moment, and then they withered like frost-beaten eggplants: "It's a pity that I don't have that much time. The people who chased me should arrive soon. Seeing as you gave me something For the sake of this, I decided to give you a sincere advice - get out of here, go as fast as possible, the farther you go, the better, maybe with luck they won't chase out one or two people to silence you."

"I don't plan to run around like a mouse, no matter who comes, I will let them know how powerful it is." Celeste said, "What about you? Instead of sitting in a cage to kill time, why don't you come out and do things for me, even if it ends up being Can't beat them, at least the process can be less boring, isn't it?"

Only now did Fu Yunlan know what Celeste was planning. He grabbed Celeste's arm, trying to stop his crazy idea: "Cerliste..."

"Trust my judgment." Celeste's blue eyes looked at Fu Yunlan calmly, "Just like I know that the needle that injected you with anti-inflammatory drugs is not clean, there are some things I can't explain to you why, But trust me."

Fu Yunlan looked at him for a while, then let go of his hand silently.

The mutant ignored their interaction, but said with an almost compassionate expression: "Your idea is very brave. I have to say that I am a little moved, but courage is meaningless in front of absolute strength. Your struggles, including mine, are actually as ridiculous as an ant with teeth and claws thinking that he can challenge a [-]-kilogram Hercules. You can still maintain courage only because you can't see what you are facing What kind of enemy is it?"

"Maybe you don't have much chance of winning if you resist, but if you don't resist, you definitely have no chance of winning." Thelister said, "Although I don't know what kind of enemy I am facing, but the same-they don't know that they will meet What's right."

These words finally aroused the interest of the mutant: "You are right, I always feel that you are not a normal person, if it is you, maybe you can really cause some unexpected blows to them. "
