Wild Journey

Chapter 121 |

On the weekend evening, Gu Xiao went to Cen's house.

Feng Yao chatted with Si Yuan boredly, the two hit it off immediately, and wanted to go out for dinner, Feng Yao took a taxi to the research institute to wait for Si Yuan, not a moment later, Si Yuan sneaked out from the main entrance, caught a glimpse of Feng Yao The car ran over quickly, got into the rear driver's seat, and frantically urged: "Go, go!"

Feng Yao glanced back, there was only a black jeep parked on the street, and it was parked there early in the morning, and then he looked into the research institute, it was also empty, he asked blankly: "Who is there?" chasing you?"

When the car started, Si Yuan took off his badge and stuffed it into his pocket, heaved a sigh of relief, and said wearily: "No, I skipped work. I'm really convinced, I don't have to do anything every day, just don't let people go, Mass production doesn’t require me to mass produce, can I still make mistakes after following the recipe? There’s nothing to be concerned about…”

Si Yuan started to spout non-stop, the driver was aimless, Feng Yao interrupted: "Wait, tell me first if you have anything you want to eat."

Si Yuan: "I can do anything, I'm going to starve to death! Find a place nearby."

There is a commercial street near the research institute, and they simply found a barbecue restaurant at the intersection.The store was very lively, and the people at the table next to them were drinking too much and talking about state affairs, Feng Yao listened to a few words, and asked Si Yuan: "Is there a truce?"

"For the time being." Si Yuan said, "The Snake lost too badly, but after repairing the jammers in Area Y, we will use Edith to negotiate terms, asking the empire to cede territory and a large amount of arms, otherwise we will tear up the ticket and make a lot of trouble. Pretty stiff."

Feng Yao didn't take it seriously: "Is Edith so important?"

"It's not important." Si Yuan lowered his voice and said bluntly, "Everyone knows it well, but no one dares to make a decision and cannot bear this responsibility."

Feng Yao: "Song Lan doesn't dare?"

Si Yuan: "He should be the most daring person, otherwise he will be scolded to death, and he said that Edith is not important, that is, he does not recognize the royal blood in a disguised way, so he still succeeds based on this, how could he do this. "

The crux of the problem is easy to understand and everyone knows, but no one dares to decide how to solve it. Thinking about it this way, Feng Yao feels that it is actually not easy for Song Lan.

During the barbecue, Feng Yao asked, "Should I call Mu Han over?"

Si Yuan: "I told him when I was in the research institute. He was going to pick me up. The meal is ready. Don't waste it. If you don't come, don't come."

Feng Yao teased, "Pick you up?"

Si Yuan didn't seem to be half-joking: "Because I've always had the feeling of being followed recently. I can't say it. It's an illusion, but I'm not the only one in the Academy of Sciences who has this feeling, but I've never found anyone..."

Feng Yao frowned and looked around subconsciously.

It was the off-duty time at this moment, and the commercial street was very lively, and there were passers-by coming and going as far as the eye could see. It was noisy, busy, and hurrying, and the atmosphere of fireworks was extremely comfortable, and there was nothing worthy of vigilance.

"Maybe it's because I've been too busy these days, and I'm hallucinating." Si Yuan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, Mu Han comes to pick me up every day, so it's not a big problem."

Feng Yao: "Things are unpredictable, it's better to be careful."

Si Yuan hummed: "I know."

While talking, Gu Xiao sent a message to Feng Yao: "Where are you?"

Feng Yao: "Dinning with Si Yuan, is it over with you?"

Gu Xiao: "Well, I'm home, shall I pick you up?"

The car was driven away by Gu Xiao, Feng Yao was too lazy to take a taxi, so he sent the address, Gu Xiao said: "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Feng Yao said hello, and said to Si Yuan, "I'll take you back later?"

"Yes." Si Yuan said, "Did you even buy the car?"

Feng Yao: "It's easier to travel instead."

Si Yuan: "Then will you still be mercenaries in the future?"

"No, it's too dangerous. Treat Gu Xiao first. After he is completely cured, maybe he will go around in the future." Feng Yao said, "What about you?"

"I didn't think about it." Si Yuan was very confused, and said out of nowhere, "Mu Han should continue to accept tasks, he seems to like this job."

Feng Yao took it for granted, "Because he likes to make money."

Si Yuan shook his head: "He just couldn't be idle."

All four of them had worked as mercenaries, but their demands were completely different. Among them, only Mu Han enjoyed the job, while Si Yuan had no plan at all.Si Yuan is also very clear about himself, he sighed: "I lack a purpose in life, and I just muddle along every day."

Feng Yao: "Is there anything you really want to do?"

Si Yuan thought about it seriously, and replied, "Lie down and eat snacks."

Feng Yao: "..."

Si Yuan: "What about you, what would you do without Gu Xiao?"

Feng Yao didn't think about this issue. After all, Gu Xiao appeared too early in his life, and the meaning was too heavy. He thought about it, and said vaguely: "Traveling? Go back to the research institute when you're tired... Maybe you will be like my father. Like that."

Si Yuan: "That won't work, people need to socialize."

Feng Yao: "When you need to socialize, just come out and hang around. If it doesn't work, I can raise a child. It's quite interesting to raise."

Si Yuan couldn't help but said: "Then the kid ran away with his boyfriend..."

Feng Yao: "..."

Seeing Feng Yao's expressionless face, Si Yuan hurriedly said, "I'm just joking."

Feng Yao waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

Si Yuan held his chin, and suddenly said with emotion: "That's why I often feel that nothing in this world is eternal, like us, like you and your dad, we seem to be saying goodbye to the past all the time."

Feng Yao smiled: "There are still."

Si Yuan put on a cold expression, and said in disgust: "Okay, okay, don't show your affection, I know what you want to say."

"You think too much, I mean, we won't say goodbye. Don't be so pessimistic. Although we won't get along day and night in the future, we can still chat and gather." Feng Yao raised his eyebrows slightly after finishing speaking, "However, If you mean the kind that gets along day and night...maybe you need a relationship too."

Si Yuan curled his lips, thoughtful, but did not speak.

After dinner, Feng Yao went to the front desk to pay the bill, and Si Yuan waited at the door. As soon as he stepped down the steps, he felt a sudden gust of wind behind him. Immediately afterwards, someone covered his lower half of his face. Struggling subconsciously, inadvertently took a breath, felt dizzy for a while, and then lost consciousness.

Feng Yao was paying the bill when he heard a commotion outside the door. He looked back and saw nothing through the crowd.

Feng Yao tapped the counter with his knuckles, signaling the cashier to hurry up.

After finishing the process, Feng Yao went out, but he didn't find Si Yuan. It wasn't until then that he realized that something was wrong. Looking around, he saw a black jeep parked at the corner of the street. rear compartment.

Feng Yao hurriedly chased after him: "Hey! You—"

Before he could finish speaking, the man turned around, his vertical eyes were facing Feng Yao, Feng Yao was immediately caught, the man quickly got into the car, and slammed the door.

The jeep left in the dust, and when Feng Yao realized it, only the tail of the car was left in his field of vision, and the license plate was covered with a black cloth.

Feng Yao quickly calmed down: "G, locate the earrings."

G: "OK."

Feng Yao hurriedly took a taxi, and now, he can only pray that Si Yuan still wears that earring, but fortunately, the earring did show the path of the jeep, but after a certain distance, it stopped not moving.

Feng Yao got out of the car and found the earring beside the manhole cover on the street.

That night, Feng Yao contacted Gu Xiao and Mu Han, and Gu Xiao contacted Cen Yu to seal the city. They searched separately. According to the surveillance, they found the jeep in the blind spot of a pier, but there was no one in the car. .

This wharf is responsible for the turnover and transportation of goods between sea and land. The trade is prosperous, and there are a large number of vehicles coming and going every day. Cen Yu sent people to check the vehicles according to the records. However, many vehicles seemed to have left the capital, and they did not find any more. The clues, the clues are interrupted here.

At dawn, the brilliance of the early morning sun penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the sea, the whole city woke up from a deep sleep, Feng Yao stayed up all night, all the initial anxieties were polished by time, leaving only fatigue and guilt, just like his It's the same as not protecting Si Yuan, although no one blames him.

Gu Xiao asked: "Is there any news from the closed city?"

Cen Yu was making arrangements, and he distractedly replied, "I'm working on the process."

Mu Han asked anxiously, "What time is it, are you still in the process?"

"This is the capital city. There are many factors to consider in closing the city. It is not as simple as you think." Cen Yu was also helpless, "I can only say as soon as possible."

Although Mu Han was in a hurry, he was still calm. He knew that it was useless to embarrass Cen Yu at this time, so he suppressed his complaints and remained silent for a while. Seeing that there was still no news from Cen Yu, he drove to look for him again.

Time passed by every minute and every second, until noon, they still hadn't found Si Yuan's whereabouts. Seeing that hope became more and more bleak, the faintly detectable despair in Feng Yao's heart also began to ferment, and gradually became palpable.

When Gu Xiao came back from buying food, he said to Feng Yao, "Eat something first."

Feng Yao lost his appetite, so he ate a bit carelessly and put down his chopsticks.

Gu Xiao saw Feng Yao's expression in his eyes, raised his hand habitually and rubbed his head, and comforted him: "Since the snake man didn't kill Si Yuan on the spot, it means that he won't kill him for the time being. time."

Feng Yao asked: "Is it because of the drug attack plan?"

Gu Xiao: "Very likely."

Cen Yu on the side said, "Then we will definitely take him back to Area Y. If you still can't find him, you can only go to Area Y with us to have a look in two days."

Feng Yao was puzzled: "What are you doing in District Y?"

Cen Yu: "Send troops to clean up the zombies."

Feng Yao was even more puzzled: "The zombies are not in the Y area."

Cen Yu paused, and said flatly, "By the way, take advantage of the victory to pursue."

"You want to annihilate the snake man's army in the name of eliminating zombies?" Feng Yao asked, "What about Edith, how do you explain it to the public?"

Cen Yu: "That's why we keep it a secret."

Feng Yao calmed down, and asked after a long time: "Is this the emperor's order?"

Cen Yu didn't answer Feng Yao's question, he just loosened his knuckles and said casually: "Some beliefs must have a material basis, blood worship will not allow this country to survive, some decisions must be made. "

Cen Yu didn't explain what he said, but Feng Yao seemed to understand what he meant: Cen's family was only loyal to the empire, no matter who was in power, and Song Lan just used this to eradicate his opponents. They reached a certain consensus, and Edith became a sacrifice.But it's understandable when you think about it. After all, from the perspective of national will, it is often not necessarily a good thing to be loyal to a certain person.

Si Yuan was startled awake by the noise of vehicles, and then fell into a pitch black darkness.Suddenly, a faint light flashed through a tiny gap, briefly illuminating a corner in front of him, allowing him to vaguely see the layout of his surroundings—this is a narrow and dirty carriage, full of people exuding a stench. There was an old wooden box covered with tattered plastic sheeting, and he was in the gap between the wooden boxes, his hands were tied behind his back, unable to move.

Looking up again, he saw someone sitting beside him.

The next moment, the man turned around, and they briefly looked at each other.

The memory before being stunned suddenly reappeared, Si Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he wanted to call for help, but the man was faster than him, and suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

The noise subsided, the feeling of shaking stopped, and the light came from far to near, as if someone was approaching with a flashlight, and there were conversations outside the carriage.

The man whispered: "Shh, don't make any noise."

Si Yuan kept struggling in panic and made a groaning sound. The man held him in his arms, pinched his throat, and covered him even tighter with the other hand, threatening: "Shut up, or I will let you die like this!" I can't make a sound for the rest of my life."

Si Yuan was almost suffocated, with tears in his eyes, but the man ignored his life and still strangled him until the car started up again.

The man let go, Si Yuan hastily turned over and took a deep breath.

With a soft click, the man turned on the lighter. Si Yuan gasped and looked up, first saw the hideous scar on his wrist, and then the familiar face.

It was the snake man named Ye Ming.

Many days ago, the tit-for-tat confrontation full of despair and depression rushed into his mind, and Ling Siyuan almost immediately felt a kind of fear. He looked at Ye Ming, calmed down for a long time, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are you taking me?"

Ye Ming didn't answer right away, he looked at Si Yuan carefully, his eyes were unclear, and after a while he said, "You are the executor."

Si Yuan didn't speak.

Ye Ming took out an empty needle, took the liquid from the reagent bottle, then looked at Si Yuan, and laughed: "I'm going to take you to death, little doctor."

Si Yuan's breathing was stagnant, and he was so nervous that he was about to suffocate in this death-like coercion. He wanted to shout, but was covered with the lower half of his face again. The needle pierced his skin, and the cold liquid seeped into his veins, and he gradually lost consciousness. .
