Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

After dinner, Paige took everyone to the room prepared for them. She assigned Fu Yunlan to a single room, and when she wanted to take Celeste to a better luxury suite, Celeste Refused.

"I want to live with Lan."

Paggy looked at them silently, and pushed the glasses with her index finger: "Okay, I understand."

They were moved to a deluxe double room, and the automatic living equipment controlled by Case had already put hot water in the bathtub.

Fu Yunlan sat in the bathtub like a small swimming pool, looking at the brand new everything around him with some unease.

Celeste also took off his clothes and came over. This was the first time that Fu Yunlan saw his body unreservedly like this. In the past, because he was afraid that he would freeze, Fu Yunlan could only let Celeste under the quilt first. After getting warmed up, he will slowly take off his clothes, but there is no need to worry about this problem here. The central air conditioner keeps the indoor temperature at a very comfortable level, even if he is naked, he will not feel cold.

Celeste's stature is growing very fast, he already has a height of nearly 1.7 meters, and he will definitely continue to grow taller in the next few years. His figure still has some youthful youthfulness, and he looks a little Thin, but gradually showing the stature that an adult should have.

When he approached, Fu Yunlan still looked away a little embarrassedly, staring at such a body that hadn't fully grown, always made him feel a strange sense of guilt.

Celeste didn't realize Fu Yunlan's strangeness, he squeezed some shower gel to help Fu Yunlan rub his back after stepping into the bathtub.

"You're so messy." Celeste complained, "Even if you think I've been kidnapped, you're too messy."

"I didn't know what happened to you at the time, so I couldn't calm down." Fu Yunlan sighed softly, looking at the spacious and bright bathroom, "Now that everything is fine with you, I can feel relieved .”

Celeste became a little inattentive after washing, and stroked Fu Yunlan's body with his fingers, feeling the undulating muscle lines under the tight skin: "You have a really good figure."

"You will be like this when you grow up..." Fu Yunlan was a little absent-minded, he hesitated for a while before asking: "Cherister... that... what do you think of He Xiao?"

"He's very mysterious, full of unknown mysteries," Thurlist said, "but I think he can be trusted."

"Why?" Fu Yunlan frowned, and grabbed Celeste's hand rubbing his scar.

"I don't know why, but there is a feeling that he is one of our own." Celeste didn't realize that Fu Yunlan's emotions were not right, but just expressed his feelings truthfully.

"One of my own..." Fu Yunlan's mood became even more depressed.

They were lying on the big clean and soft bed, Celeste was in his arms, but Fu Yunlan felt an indescribable loss.

Celeste rubbed against him, saw that he was a little absent-minded, and said, "Are you tired, if you are tired, go to sleep."

"En." Fu Yunlan embraced Celeste in her arms, and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Celeste finally noticed something was wrong, "You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

"This place is so good, don't you want to go back with me?" Fu Yunlan asked uneasily.

"I don't need to go back anymore." Celeste gave an answer that made Fu Yunlan's heart sink, "He Xiao said, everything here is prepared for me, and this will be mine from now on." base."

"...What the hell is he thinking about!" Fu Yunlan sat up all of a sudden, her brows furrowed into a knot.

"I only know that he is not an ordinary human like me." Celeste said, "He is a member of the Guardian Alliance and an enemy of the Devourer. I don't understand why he gave me this base. , At present, it seems that he hopes that I will stand up against the Devourer and save mankind, and he said that after I complete this goal, he will tell me everything related to me."

Fu Yunlan was dumbfounded: "What are you talking about, what Guardian Alliance?"

"Aren't you tired? Do you want to wait until tomorrow?"

"No, I can't sleep with such doubts at all." Fu Yunlan insisted, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Mass, are you there?" Celeste asked into the air.

The screen embedded in the wall lit up, and a symbol of a smiling face appeared, and Masi's voice said, "Of course I am here, Master, and I am always ready to serve you."

"Repeat what He Xiao said yesterday."

"Good host."

The animation and video made by Case on the spot began to play on the screen. He Xiao's voice started from the inexplicably ambiguous sentence "It's against the law to speak with such a cute expression" in Fu Yunlan's voice, and He Xiao let Se Before Lister went to rest, the entire commentary recording was played from beginning to end.

After the recording was stopped, Fu Yunlan did not speak for a long time.

"In fact, he still has a lot of things that he hasn't explained clearly, but he doesn't want to tell me more." Celeste hooked his waist and said, "It's very late, if you have any questions, wait until you wake up Ask him later."

"Yeah." Fu Yunlan lay down, but couldn't calm down for a long time.

Compared with He Xiao, he really doesn't know where he lost, and he doesn't say anything else. What is in front of him now is a question of life and death for all human beings and even the entire universe, but his focus is still on "jealousy" On such insignificant little things.

The lights were automatically dimmed, and Celeste had already fallen asleep peacefully, but Fu Yunlan lay on the soft and comfortable big bed tossing and turning for a long time, thinking about some messy things in her mind, and finally became confused.

---

The next morning Paggy brought them breakfast and two new clothes.

They were two uniforms similar to military uniforms, with white shirts, black jackets, and dark red ties. They were tailored according to the characteristics of the two people's figures. Celeste's set had some golden embroidery decorations, and it was given to Fu Yunlan. That body is even more deep and atmospheric.

Fu Yunlan still felt a little awkward. He didn't want to wear the clothes He Xiao provided, but his original dirty clothes had already been taken away, so it was hard to go out in pajamas, so he reluctantly changed into that uniform.Pa Ji helped them adjust details such as ties, and then took them to He Xiao's office.

He Xiao still looked calm and unhurried. He added four cubes of sugar one by one to the coffee before taking a sip with satisfaction: "Good morning, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay." Celeste said, "The clothes look nice, thank you."

Fu Yunlan didn't want to talk, but she had to admit it in her heart. Celeste was already good-looking. As a half-European, his facial features had both the depth of a Westerner and the delicacy of an Easterner. When Lan was together, he always wore old clothes that didn't fit well 20 years ago, and he couldn't see anything. Now that he has been tidied up and put on this suit, he looks like a noble prince .

"As long as you like it." He Xiao smiled with satisfaction, "This is specially designed by Kester for you."

"He's amazing." Celeste praised.

"It's just picking up people's wisdom." He Xiao said, "He referred to all the well-received military uniform designs of human beings throughout the ages, and extracted the design elements according to the degree of popularity, and then synthesized this set of uniforms. Aesthetics has always been a short board, just look at it if you don’t believe me. Case, don’t refer to any existing designs of humans to generate a set of clothes with basic functions.”

A few seconds later, a jumpsuit that looked practical but was too ugly to look at appeared on the screen.

"I see," said Thelister, "but the question is, why did you design military uniforms for us?"

"Talk too much at once, I'm afraid you will be confused, so I can only tell you many things step by step." He Xiao looked at Fu Yunlan and said, "Mass has already relayed my words last night, so I don't have to tell you anymore After explaining it again, I believe that on the issue of fighting the Devourer, our position is the same."

Fu Yunlan frowned: "Are you spying on us?"

He Xiao smiled: "Don't be so concerned about privacy issues, I won't deliberately peek at something, but I will inevitably know what Mars said to you through the equipment under Case's control."

"And then?" Celeste asked, he was more concerned about how He Xiao planned to fight the Devourer than whether He Xiao had peeked at what they were doing in the bedroom.

He Xiao walked to the knee-high table in the middle of the office. Countless galaxies in the universe were displayed on the table in the form of a three-dimensional animation, including the positions of several galaxies covered by a cloud of translucent black fog. looming.

Fu Yunlan didn't have time to feel the [-]D animation that he had never seen before, and He Xiao pointed to those galaxies and said: "Look, this black part is where the main body of the Devourer is located, and this is the Milky Way. In the location, the earth is a very remote existence, even without any interference, it will take a long time for the devourer to swallow it here, so he only sent a small piece of 'tentacle' to strangle human civilization Died in the embryonic stage. With our ability, we don’t talk about killing the main body of the Devourer. Now our goal is to fight against this ‘tentacle’ and keep human civilization from being wiped out by it.”

"Since humans are so far away from them, why does it have to destroy humans?" Celeste still played his curious baby's nature, "Anyway, human civilization is so weak, even if it develops for thousands of years, it will still not belong to it. Opponent?"

He Xiao smiled: "Let me use an analogy. To the Devourer, human beings are like a group of primitive people living on the edge of an oil mine. Today's human beings don't know about the smelly and sticky black water. What's the use, but if you let the development of human beings continue, one day you will learn to use them and start to consume oil resources. It is better to destroy you easily when human beings are still primitive people than to let you grow stronger and consume precious oil resources. Oil is fighting them to the death."
