[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Although Tang Rui has been tense all the time, the remaining half of the journey is unexpectedly smooth. Not only did no sea monsters and sea beasts appear again, even those teenagers who couldn't relax made a fishing rod to go fishing , Not even a ghost shadow was caught.

There were no birds in the vast sky. Unlike before, one or two huge birds could occasionally be seen flying by.

It's as if... all living things are dead.

The strange calm made Tang Rui even more worried.

However, seeing the coastline of the Eastern Continent in the distance, he still breathed a sigh of relief.In any case, the sea is far more dangerous than the land, and when they land on shore, it is easier to deal with any accidents, which is better than their isolated island in the vast sea, which is not working every day.

"It's finally here!" The boat cheered.

Tang Rui checked the situation on the other side with optical binoculars, frowning more and more.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuze also took a telescope to look.

As far as the coastline can be seen, there is a stretch of rocky beaches. Compared with the lush greenery of the Western Continent, there is not even a weed here!

"Dr. Zhang, please come here." Tang Rui turned back.

"Yes." Jiang Mi agreed, and soon brought someone over.

"Mr. Tang, what's the matter?" Dr. Zhang was very polite, quite different from the fiery Yao Xue.

"Dr. Zhang lived in the Earth Research Institute?" Tang Rui said.

"Yes." Dr. Zhang nodded.

"I don't know the difference between the vicinity of the research institute and the places we passed by these days?" Tang Rui asked directly.

"This..." Dr. Zhang was stunned for a moment before he said, "The environment of the research institute is adjusted according to the capital star, which is quite different from the dangerous area over there. Even the entire safe area is also a gradual change, the closer it is to the environment of the research institute. , the closer it is to the capital star."

"Then, what about outside the safe zone?" Tang Rui frowned.

Hearing this, Dr. Zhang couldn't help but wryly smiled, and said helplessly, "How can we researchers who are powerless to go outside the safe zone, even getting close to the border is not allowed."

"Nonsense." Before Tang Rui could say anything, Zhou Yuze spoke.

"Huh?" Tang Rui turned his head and gave him a surprised look.

"We were ambushed by the empire because you obtained rare research materials from the earth, and the materials were also obtained in the safe zone?" Zhou Yuze hit the center with a single sentence.

"Oh." Tang Rui smiled, and then looked at Dr. Zhang with a rather meaningful look.

"Major Zhou is right, the information is indeed from outside the safe zone." Dr. Zhang smiled awkwardly, and said helplessly, "It's just that Dr. Wang was the only one who came back alive from the research team that went out at that time. , everyone else died outside the safety zone, this... Dr. Wang was overly frightened, so we don't have much to ask."

"You guys didn't go?" Zhou Yuze glanced at the other researchers.

"The research institute also needs to stay behind, and that action was strongly advocated by Dr. Wang. I don't agree with it." Dr. Zhang sighed.

"Okay, okay, you go and clean up, we'll go ashore right away." Tang Rui waved his hand.

Dr. Zhang's face was obviously not very good-looking after being shouted and shouted at by him like this, but the situation was stronger than others, and he really didn't dare to offend these soldiers who could protect him, so he could only swallow his anger.

Tang Rui touched his chin and could only smile wryly.

Dr. Wang was so sick that he could only hang his breath, of course he couldn't say anything, it was really troublesome...

"I always feel that it's not very good on the shore." Zhou Yuze said softly.

"I know." Tang Rui sighed, "There are no plants, trees, birds or animals. This is absolutely abnormal, as if the vitality of this continent is completely dead."

"Of course it's not normal." Feng Lang came over and obviously heard what he said, and said in a bad mood, "Although I have never been to the earth, but before I was transferred to the dawn team, I passed through the earth's atmosphere on a mission and saw this with my own eyes. This continent is green, not inferior to the Western Continent."

"That is to say, in the past few years, what has caused this continent to become a dead land?" Tang Rui pondered.

"Fish." Zhou Yuze said.

"Hmm..." Tang Rui's eyes sank, and he continued, "Speaking of which, the fish pulling the boat suddenly refused to move forward, and didn't even care about the injury. And I really didn't see any creatures after that."

"I'm going to explore the way?" Zhou Yuze tilted his head.

Even Feng Lang didn't object to these words, after all, only Zhou Yuze's mecha still had energy left.

Tang Rui turned around and stared at his face with a strange expression.

"Senior?" Zhou Yuze was at a loss.

"No, go ashore and set up camp on the spot, and set off early tomorrow morning." Tang Rui said calmly, "It's good to have no trees, at least it's endless. No matter what comes, we have enough time to prepare, and we don't need to explore the road."

"Oh." Zhou Yuze blinked, very confused.

The senior seems to be angry, but... why are you angry?

Half an hour later, the boat docked safely and nothing happened.

Feng Lang assigned a team fully armed to go ashore, circled a piece of land, after inspection, dispersed the guards, and then everyone landed and set up camp in an orderly manner.

Tang Rui's task is of course to disassemble the ship and reassemble it into a car.

The night fell quietly, perhaps because the atmospheric pollution here is not seriously mutated, the moon can still be seen, and the rocky beach reflects light, even if the fire is not lit, it can be seen clearly.

Zhou Yuze walked around the camp, then returned to the beach, watching Tang Rui work.

"What?" Tang Rui didn't raise his head.

"Are you angry?" Zhou Yuze said.

"..." Tang Rui paused, and then said, "Well, I'm angry."

"Why?" Zhou Yuze asked doubtfully.

"What do you think?" Tang Rui finally gave him a straight look.

Zhou Yuze was startled, but this look reminded Tang Rui of the day before the tornado came, when Tang Rui threw him into the airship, with the same anger and... distressed?

"Understood?" Looking at his expression, Tang Rui knew that he had figured it out, raised his hand to pat his cheek, and said with a smile, "I won't be angry if you are obedient in the future."

"En." Zhou Yuze responded, looking at his hands.

There is still some soreness, but it does not affect the daily use of guns or fighting. The only thing is that the control panel of the mecha is too complicated, and I am afraid that mistakes will be made.

"You are already very powerful." Tang Rui smiled, pointing to the young man who dominated them from afar in the camp, full of admiration.

"They don't know that senior is better than me." Zhou Yuze said indifferently.

No one knew better than him who was in the game how strong Tang Rui was who also withstood that huge pulling force, but was able to stabilize the two of them from being dragged into the sea.

"I'm different from you." Tang Rui said.

"Because senior participated in the battle with the empire?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Xiao Zhou, the times make heroes." Tang Rui smiled mockingly, "If Ye Ling had been born in your era, he would never have been better than you. In times of war, a sharp target is needed, but in times of peace, guarding Clumsy can live long."

"Senior asked me to keep a low profile." Zhou Yuze thought for a while and said.

"If we can go back safely this time, you will probably be promoted again?" Tang Rui said suddenly.

Zhou Yuze fell silent.

"The empire is about to move, and the upper echelon of the Federation is not monolithic. On the contrary, the factional struggles have become more and more serious in the past few years, and they are almost reaching a fever pitch." Abruptly continued.

"I understand, really." Zhou Yuze thought for a while, and then showed a faint smile.

"Just understand." Tang Rui narrowed his eyes with a smile, and patted the other side of his cheek.

"Senior is so kind." Zhou Yuze smiled.

Facing those shining eyes, Tang Rui couldn't help coughing dryly, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

"I'll go around for a while." Zhou Yuze stood up.

Tang Rui looked at him for a while, and finally burst out laughing: "Wash your face before you go."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuze was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

Tang Rui suppressed a smile, looked left and right, pulled a mirror from the car and placed it in front of him.

Zhou Yuze's expression suddenly became stiff... but he saw that his face was black and white, like a refugee...

"Haha..." Tang Rui laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

"Senior, remember to wash your hands before eating when you come back." Zhou Yuze glanced at his hands covered in black motor oil, sighed helplessly, and simply went to the beach to wash his face.

"Hehe..." Tang Rui looked at his back with a smile still shining in his eyes.

"Then you are sexually interested." Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind.

"That woman Yao Xue is nagging you again?" Tang Rui said.

Su Yingtang let out a cold snort, got on the car he was adjusting and sat down.

"It's really impossible." Tang Rui thought for a while, "Even if there is no emergency, it will take at least three days to arrive at the research institute. The old man can be saved if he can. If he can't, you don't need to work hard."

"It's all like this, letting go now wouldn't it be a waste of my hard work these days." Su Yingtang gritted her teeth.

"Then you tell that woman." Tang Rui said.

In fact, Yao Xue is not an idiot woman who makes trouble out of no reason, she just always thought that Su Yingtang would die without saving her. As long as she knew the facts, she would naturally not see Su Yingtang every day as if she saw killing her father and enemy.

"I told her that the old man is dying soon," Su Yingtang said.

"..." Tang Rui was speechless. He just wanted to say that you just dragged others to be unhappy with you because you were unhappy, right... Su Yingtang is indeed the number one in the Federation for offending people.

"I can't see that you still care about the matters above." Su Yingtang suddenly sneered.

Tang Rui raised his eyebrows, knowing that he had heard the conversation he had with Zhou Yuze just now, and there was nothing unexpected about it, so he said indifferently: "Those old guys are getting more and more restless, a sharp blade like Chen Xi is wasted in the federation It would be a pity in the fight."

"Stop doing this." Su Yingtang remained unmoved, "Shaobai is a member of Mo Fei's family."

"So what?" Tang Rui's hands paused, and he chuckled, "Political matters only have eternal interests, not to mention just one department..."

"He's a civil servant." Su Yingtang frowned.

"It won't be long over there." Tang Rui pointed in one direction with a calm expression on his face.

Su Yingtang was slightly taken aback, as if realizing something.

Seven years of peace is indeed a long time.
