When returning to the base the next day, Jiang You failed to see Wei Yiming.

I heard that the headquarters of the research center just sent him the prosthesis, which is currently being debugged.

Jiang You stood in front of the door of the ward, using his perception to observe the movements inside. After a long time, he turned his attention to the jumping worms he had collected in his body.

They were still alive, he exhaled softly.

Let's see each other before we leave.

He planned to come back later, turned around and saw Wen Jia at the end of the corridor.

She leaned against the wall with her chest in her arms, as if she had been waiting here for a long time. Jiang You always knew that someone was here, but he didn't care who it was.

Jiang You saw that she was waiting for him, felt troublesome, and wanted to leave from another direction, but Wen Jia came over, called him to stop, and quickened his pace, for fear that Jiang You would run away in his own way, after all, this guy was born Notoriously don't buy anyone's account.

She brushed the broken hair around her ears, and smiled skillfully: "You don't have to hate me so much, do you?"

Jiang You: "Is there something wrong?"

From his indifferent attitude, Wen Jia found that he didn't hate herself at all, but was completely indifferent, which made him even more depressed.

"I apologize for what happened before." Wen Jia said generously.

Jiang You put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyelids, and said "Oh" indifferently.

Wen Jia was not discouraged: "That's right, I hate monsters very much. At that time, I thought you were a monster, or their accomplice, maybe in terms of attitude..."

"I see." Jiang You nodded and interrupted her, anyway, he didn't care much about strangers, "So?"

"Can you let go of the past? Sit together once in a while?"

Jiang You paused, then refused: "That's not necessary."

"Oh, forget it." Wen Jia smiled, "Excuse me."

Jiang You nodded, turned around and went down the stairs, pretending not to see the disappointed expression on Wen Jia's face.

In the research room on the third basement floor, Jiang You came through the wall last time, but this time he honestly made a complete detour.

In the research room, Du Xianxian and Xiao Wei were there, as well as Zeng Xiao, the captain of the third team, and a weapon engineer under his command. They were discussing the research and development of new weapons.

Jiang You stood in front of the door, and the face recognition system above immediately made a big red X, and at the same time stamped three large characters on his handsome face: No authority.

Hearing the siren, Xiao Wei turned his head and was startled when he saw Jiang You, and hurriedly opened the door manually. Several other people also looked at him in unison, very surprised.

Jiang You looked around them, and finally his eyes fell on Du Xianxian.

"?" Du Xianxian immediately straightened his back, as if he was about to accept the leadership review.

Jiang You walked straight in front of her, and asked without anyone else, "Is there any acid left?"

"what?"

"The acid of the color-changing toad, is there any more?"

Xiao Wei hurriedly ran among them and rushed to answer: "Yes, yes, brother Jiang, as much as you want, according to the method you taught, we can safely extract one to two milliliters of acid every day."

Although Jiang You recognized Xiao Wei's growth rate, he still couldn't like him, probably because of his natural aura.

He frowned, took a step back, and said to Du Xianxian, "Give me five milliliters."

It's an affirmative tone.

Du Xianxian has always been soft-spoken, but now he sounded rather unassuming: "No... I may need to apply to the team leader."

She is just an ordinary researcher, and she has no right to freely take out the things in the research center for personal use.

Zeng laughed and made the decision for her: "Our number one hero wants five milliliters of acid, and you still have to apply to the team leader? Are you embarrassing our team leader?"

"That's it!" Xiao Wei hurriedly ran to the special container, took out a small glass bottle and connected the thin tube, allowing the light green liquid in the container to flow into it.

Jiang You took the bottle he handed over, and nodded indifferently as a thank you.

Zeng Xiao happened to be there too, so he was going to look for him.

When Wei Yiming was outside the ward just now, he had a whim and wanted to make him something for self-defense before he left—some small weapons, preferably inconspicuous and lethal ones, because surprises often cause more damage. Easy to win.

Losing an arm, the future work and life should be much more difficult, right?

Before joining "Spider", when he was still a monster hunter, he and Luo Yuan often researched simple weapons by themselves in order to save money, so this was not a difficult task for him. Among some raw materials, the acid of the color-changing toad is the most reliable.

After asking Zeng Xiao for a few ordinary bullets and some tools, Jiang You returned to Oasis City.

The afternoon sun was extremely glaring, hitting the ground through the window, and the strong beam of light was like a slide that could go up to the sky.

Sitting in the sun, Jiang You carefully opened the bullet with a screwdriver, poured out part of the gunpowder on the white paper, lightly thinned the outer wall of the bullet with a file, and put the prepared acid bullets one by one. Stuff it inside.

The communicator rang.

Jiang You paused, then connected, and Wei Yiming's steady voice came from the other side.

"Jiang You, have you been to the base?"

"Ah."

"Why don't you wait for me?"

"Nothing special, just go get something."

"I heard from Wang Ke that you woke up in less than two hours this time?"

"Ah."

"Great, the capsules work, don't they?"

"Ah."

Hearing that Jiang You was not in a good mood, Wei Yiming was silent for a few seconds and asked, "When can we meet outside? I have something to tell you."

Jiang You didn't stop moving his hands, and asked lightly: "Go out to meet? Is your health okay?"

Wei Yiming smiled softly from the communicator: "Is there any problem? Didn't you see everything yesterday?"

Thinking of his pale face and stubborn appearance yesterday, Jiang You tightened his hands and accidentally broke a bullet. The acid stained the back of his hand, and a small white foam immediately appeared.

He calmly drew out the small saber equipped on his uniform, slowly scraped off the corroded skin on the back of his hand, and then took out a tissue to hold the wound.

He thought for a while: "I will pick you up at the base early tomorrow morning."

After finishing the call, Jiang You continued to finish the bullet with a blank face. After that, he leaned under the window and suddenly felt exhausted.

Slowly rubbing the bullet with his fingertips, the surface is not so smooth, he pinched it up to look at it under the sun.

The surface polished by the file has regular lines and twists and turns, like terraced fields on the loess soil in a dry area, which is very beautiful.

He saw such a scene on the TV in the window of the shopping mall a few days ago. When he was in another world, he only occasionally saw one or two such beautiful pictures when he was looking through the literature. The beauty, layer upon layer, stretching as far as the eye can see, left a deep impression on him, so it was immediately associated with it.

In the original world, except for the closed cities, other places are full of scars left by wars and beautiful natural scenery. Today, after decades of monster invasion, only the plain white after heavy snow can be seen. Of course , Under the white clothes, there are still hidden corpses and iron armor and ruins.

This kind of world is really good, Wei Yiming...or Wei Yiming in this world is lucky. He should be glad that he lives in such a world, instead of being killed, enslaved, and then rising up to resist. Human beings in the world have paid almost everything for freedom and reproduction.

Just meet again and cheer him up.

last side.

Jiang You blew the wind all night on the top of the observation tower of the closed weather station, and arrived at the temporary base just after dawn the next day.

He didn't go in, so he leaned against the car door and waited outside.

After Wei Yiming came out, he turned around and opened the car door for him.

When Jiang You sat in the driver's seat, Wei Yiming smiled knowingly and asked, "What's the matter? You won't drive the motorcycle to bomb the streets today?"

Jiang You glanced at his left hand, started the car and drove out of the parking space.

That hand revealed the fairness of Wei Yiming's original skin color, which was very different from his tanned skin.

Seeing that the corners of Jiang You's mouth were straightened, with displeasure written all over his face, Wei Yiming put on a smile on his face and teased him: "Don't be so straight-faced, it's inevitable to get hurt when you fight against monsters, so what if you can't take it easy? This line of work? A hero?"

Jiang You drove the car without looking sideways: "Are you making fun of me too?"

Wei Yiming raised the corner of his mouth: "No, everyone in the base said so, is this a compliment?"

Jiang You showed disdain: "Tch, yin and yang are strange."

Wei Yiming became serious: "They really treat you as their own this time, you saved them."

Jiang You stopped talking, he just wanted to get rid of the skeleton chain to relieve Wei Yiming's hidden danger, as for other things, he didn't care.

Jiang You concentrated on driving, and half an hour later, he parked the car in front of a cafe in the suburbs, which was the one where he and Wei Yiming talked for the first time.

Wei Yiming: "Don't you know that I don't drink coffee?"

Jiang You: "Watch me drink."

Wei Yiming: "Is this how you treat the wounded?"

Jiang You: "Aren't you healthy?"

Wei Yiming: "..."

The boss obviously still had an impression of the two reserved guests, so he led them up to the second floor very enthusiastically, and then brought two glasses of white water as requested by the young guests.

They sat where they were last time, looking at the different scenery downstairs. After a long time, Wei Yiming habitually twisted his inflexible left wrist, and awkwardly took out a blue capsule from his pocket. Put it in front of Jiang You.

It was clear that he was deliberately practicing using the prosthetic, and despite his best efforts, he couldn't get used to it quickly.

Jiang You stared at the capsule for a while, then put it in his pocket.

Well, no matter which world you are in, it is always good to be able to evolve.

"This is the second one." Wei Yiming repeated the message from the headquarters, "The original thorn implanted in your head was underdeveloped. They made some improvements last time. This time it is the existing several forms. The perfection of it will prolong the activation time and increase the power, and maybe it can completely eliminate the adverse reactions on your body."

Jiang You nodded, curious: "In your world, technology has developed to this level?"

Wei Yiming smiled: "Who knows, I don't really understand these things."

Jiang You expressed tolerance for his ignorance, because he himself is also half technologically illiterate, so he changed the subject: "Your new arm, are you used to it?"

"It's okay, it will take some time." Wei Yiming shook his prosthetic limb, and said in a very relaxed tone, "The headquarters can spend money, don't underestimate this arm, it's like a small arsenal, and there's even a pocket bazooka , with tracking."

Jiang You clenched the acid bullet in his palm, thought for a while, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

His organization took such good care of him and provided him with sufficient self-defense weapons, so he shouldn't have to worry about it himself.

"Then I'm relieved," he said.

As soon as the words came out, both of them froze.

Wei Yiming deliberated over his words, and after a while he cleared his throat and said, "The chain of bones is solved, what are your plans next?"

Jiang You stared at his hands clasped on the table.

Wei Yiming noticed his gaze, changed his posture, and took his arm off the table.

Jiang You lowered his head and fiddled with his bony fingers: "I'm leaving, go back."

Wei Yiming's expression darkened. He already knew the answer, but he just wanted the guillotine hanging in the air to fall down quickly.

He was not reconciled and tried to persuade him to stay: "There are still many monsters in the city."

"Wang Ke can handle it, he is very powerful."

This was Wei Yiming's first time hearing Jiang You's praise, and he was very surprised, but he himself seemed to be completely unaware, and continued to remind him what Wei Yiming should pay attention to after he left.

"Monsters like bone chains are rare after all, don't worry, you just need to seal the wormhole and slowly strangle the monsters."

"Not only in cities, but in places where there are few people, you should pay more attention. Monsters like to catch people by surprise."

"Carefully study the map of monsters, and the bodies of many monsters can be used as weapons to restrain other monsters."

Wei Yiming's mind was completely confused, Jiang You's words were like last words, he seemed to have listened to every word, and seemed to understand nothing.

It wasn't until Jiang You finished speaking for a while that he said awkwardly: "Can you not leave?"

"No." Jiang You was silent, "Sorry."

"The research center is developing the next drug for you."

"No need, this is already very good, thank you."

"Then how do you go back? I have always been curious about how humans can travel through parallel time and space."

From the beginning to the end, Wei Yiming kept looking at the water glass on the table without lifting it.

Regarding Wei Yiming's evasive attitude, Jiang You felt uncomfortable, and he didn't want to lie to him about such a "common sense" issue at this time, so he explained the specific functions and usage of the jumping worm and the space-time locator. over again.

In the end, he showed Wei Yiming the space-time locator, and the atmosphere finally became less heavy.

Wei Yiming: "It turns out that bugs are not for eating."

Jiang You: "...Sorry."

Wei Yiming was surprised that jumping through time and space was such a simple and convenient thing, and at the same time he felt relaxed. From this point of view, if Jiang You wanted to come back, he could come back anytime.

The point is, does he want to?

Wei Yiming lowered his eyes again, trying his best to hide the disappointment in his heart.

Jiang You looked at the street outside the window. People were still busy, not knowing that they were already in extreme danger.

His eyes flicked over them unconsciously, and suddenly, he spotted a person standing across the street.

That's... Wei...

?

Wei Yiming?
