MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 72 third plan

The two sat on the sofa facing each other.

It was rare for Shi Yuan to see Lu Tinghan treat him so seriously, so he couldn't help being nervous: "What do you want to ask me?"

Lu Tinghan said slowly: "Now the life and death of the alliance is at stake. Since the peak period, you should have witnessed our helplessness. Every failure is fatal. I am the commander, and my duty is to do everything that is beneficial to the alliance. judge."

Shi Yuan: "Yes."

He hugged his tail tightly.

"From the euthanasia bill to the abandonment of Gleaner City, to the day when the 'severe hammer' fell, to the parting of ways between me and Admiral Su Enqi, there are other decisions that you don't know...even if there is controversy, even if there is doubt, even if There are painful sacrifices, and I always walk towards the path that is most conducive to survival. In other words, I never have a choice, this is a war we can't afford to lose." Lu Tinghan said, "I can't give up any a chance."

Shi Yuan still didn't understand what he was going to say, so he tilted his head.

Lu Tinghan looked at him, his expression was... a bit struggling.

He said slowly: "You know about 'echo' and 'overlook', so you know, did the league ever have a third plan?"

Shi Yuan remembered that Lin Yeran had mentioned it to him.

Lin Yeran said that the alliance had long since given up on the third plan.

Lu Tinghan continued: "The third plan is called 'Deep Dive'. For a long time, we have found that infections are mutually exclusive. Except for you, each abyss cannot cover each other's infection characteristics."

Yu Qingmei once held a transparent container, in which the infected rabbit was screaming crazily, and it had grown many legs.

She explained to the interviewer: "It was infected by Abyss 4, characterized by 'multiple limbs'. And it cannot be infected by other Abysses, that is, you cannot infect creatures that are already infected, there is no way to have For a rabbit that is 'gigantic' and 'multiple limbs' at the same time, the infection characteristics are unique and mutually exclusive."

Shi Yuan: "Oh..."

Lu Tinghan: "This has led to the fact that different infection waves will not approach abysses of different origins. For example, the infected biota in Abyss No. 4 will never approach other abysses. So the alliance has always had an idea, that is Simulate the infection wavelength of an abyss, covering the entire city. It will not infect any creatures, but it can deceive the infection tide, so we only have to fight against one abyss infection object."

He told Shi Yuan: "There are two major problems with this project. The first is the lack of data. We used to use Abyss No. 1 as an object to try to simulate, but we need more and more accurate data. In the middle of the year, a lot of data from the abyss were provided, but that was far from enough. We need...observations from the bottom of the abyss, that is, we went below the abyss.”

"No one knows what lies at the bottom of the abyss. The alliance has made many attempts, whether it is an aircraft or a monitor, either it is destroyed by the infected creatures in the fog, or it is annihilated in the fog. This is why this plan Has been stranded."

Shi Yuan asked, "Then what's the second question?"

"The second problem is that even if the abyss signal is simulated, the alliance's cities are exposed on the ground. It is actually very difficult to achieve 100% coverage. If everyone moves to an underground shelter, the signal coverage effect can be significant Improved, but not enough — not nearly enough."

"The refuge was built after the end of the world. Many designs, structures, and materials are inevitably insufficient. It has a small space and insufficient depth. It cannot be self-sufficient and cannot be used for a long time. At the same time, its airtightness and armed capabilities are also lacking. That is to say. , we need an extremely complete and self-sufficient underground building in order to complete the 'deep dive' plan. With our current capabilities, it is impossible to build it."

Shi Yuan figured it out, humans can't go to the bottom of the abyss, nor can they find suitable buildings.

He bent his tail: "That's why the 'Deep Dive' plan was abandoned."

"Yes, both of these are insurmountable gaps." Lu Tinghan said, "In comparison, underground buildings are a little hopeful: the empire has many underground cities with well-established structures, and their underground shelters are better than those of the alliance. As long as we can find a large Imperial underground structure, we can solve this problem."

Shi Yuan: "But the 'echo' failed..."

"Well. The alliance has grasped the location of the two empire buildings, but it is extremely difficult to move everyone there. What's more, there has been no progress in simulating the signal of the abyss." Lu Tinghan looked at Shiyuan, gray blue There was indescribable emotion in his eyes, "But, you came to the city."

Shi Yuan suddenly understood: "You want to simulate my wavelength?"

"If you 'observe' you up close and collect data from you, then the alliance doesn't have to go to the bottom of the abyss." Lu Tinghan rubbed his eyebrows, "You are a very special abyss, even if you can't be simulated Wavelength, maybe from you, we can also have a better understanding of the abyss, so as to resist the city, and even... go to the bottom of other abysses and get their data."

He continued: "If this is the case, we can also prepare to search for underground structures at the same time, plan the transfer plan, and finally complete the 'deep dive' plan."

"These days, Professor Guan also brought up 'deep diving' to me again. What he means is that you may be our new hope."

Shi Yuan: "Ah, so that's the case, I..."

"Listen to me first." Lu Tinghan interrupted him gently, "I was very troubled when I heard Professor Guan's words. Shi Yuan, do you remember what I said, I will let you witness everything."

— On the rooftop of Gleaner City, they stood side by side.

Lu Tinghan and Shi Yuan said, we have seen you as brave, but now, there is no need for a savior, the moment has come for you to witness our courage.

Shi Yuan: "I remember."

Lu Tinghan: "I still think so until now, you have no obligation to save the city, and you have no obligation to deceive those monsters. You should do whatever you want in the city, such as performing stage plays, such as enjoying flowers and wheat fields , such as answering the phone and taking care of mutants. I am afraid that if I make a request to you, you will answer against your will because you like me."

He continued: "My relationship with my parents is weak, and I have few close friends. Su Enqi always said that I was born for war, and the flames of war filled every minute of my life. You are a unique existence. You are unique because of my company. Like me, why don't I? I never fell in love with anyone before I met you, and I never imagined this day. This is the purest feeling I've ever had, because it's so beautiful, I don't want it to be the slightest flaw."

"However, I am the supreme commander of the alliance, and I have to seize every possibility to save the alliance and mankind." He clasped his fingers tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly blue, "So I still have to ask this question: Yuan, I have confirmed with Professor Guan that the project is purely observational and will not affect you—just like the observations I made in the watchtower in the past. You only need to release the infection wavelength, we are in different environments Record it and try to simulate it. And you will not be an outlier, but a member of the scientific research center, a volunteer who has contributed to the alliance, and deserves due respect."

"So, putting aside your feelings for me, are you willing to participate in the new 'Deep Dive' project? Are you willing to... save the city as much as possible?"

Shi Yuan looked at him.

After staring at each other for two seconds, he suddenly smiled, leaned forward, and kissed Lu Tinghan's side cheek.

He said briskly: "What am I supposed to do to make you so serious! I made my decision the first time I went out of town to show you that blue butterfly! I'm not for you, I like it too Here."

Lu Tinghan: "..." He was a little puzzled.

Shi Yuan's tail fluttered like a colorful flag: "I saw the troupe, met Cheng Youwen and Qin Luoluo, they performed such a good story as "The Martyr", and those flowers and wheat fields; Mr. Wu, Edward who likes waltzes, seeing those windmills and energy towers, and hearing so many people's stories on the phone... These are all things I like. I went to Tiecheng to find the information about "Overview" Come back. If you don’t mention it, I will also take the initiative to do more things for the city.”

Lu Tinghan: "That is to say...?"

Shi Yuan: "Of course I am willing!" He hugged Lu Tinghan and nestled in Lu Tinghan's arms softly, "Maybe in the future, we will be able to live in an underground city. Then we can Keep acting on the stage."

This time Lu Tinghan was almost at a loss. His hand hung in the air for a few seconds before it lightly landed on Shi Yuan's waist, hugged him, and whispered: "...Thank you."

He hugged Shi Yuan tightly, the soft black hair scratching his chin.

Thousands of words boiled in his chest, he opened his mouth, and for the first time in his life, he lost his voice.

Shi Yuan whispered in his ear, "I love you too."

…

In the following week, Lu Tinghan received a report from Professor Guan, one proving that Shi Yuan would not attract monsters, and one proving that he was not contagious in human form.

He is going to find the chairman of the alliance, Chai Yongning.

Shi Yuan was very nervous about this, he asked Lu Tinghan: "If he knows about me, will he stop letting you direct?"

"Chai Yongning has the right to know." Lu Tinghan put on his coat, "I will convince him."

"Really?"

"certainly."

"I'm still nervous...then when are you coming back?"

"I don't know, it won't be too long."

They kiss goodbye. Shi Yuan watched Lu Tinghan's aircraft disappear into the sky.

Ten hours later, Chai Yongning and Lu Tinghan had a private meeting.

Lu Tinghan told the story in detail.

Chai Yongning was so shocked that his cloudy old eyes were almost protruding, and he even took more than a dozen Suxiao Jiuxin Pills.

Fortunately, he had seen strong winds and waves, and after hearing this unbelievable story, it took him tens of minutes to calm down.

He said slowly: "Admiral Lu, have you ever thought that he can destroy all cities as long as he goes crazy. Are you so sure that he is trustworthy?"

Lu Tinghan folded his fingers in front of him, his white gloves were dazzling. He said: "I absolutely believe him. Again, it doesn't matter whether the alliance believes it or not. You overestimate our strength. He just needs to run off into the wasteland, so that no one can see him again, trying to infect the army, Destroying a city is only a matter of seconds. We are not even in a position to negotiate."

He added: "With the situation like this, 'Deep Dive' may be our only hope."

Chai Yongning paced back and forth, his brows furrowed in confusion.

He added: "Then how did you convince him? What is your bargaining chip?"

Lu Tinghan: "The bargaining chip is myself." He added, "You know the princess who kissed in ancient times, I'm going to kiss him now. Ever since I met him, I have made him happy every day, and even helped him untie his tail."

Chai Yongning's face was very exciting, and after a long time, he choked out a sentence: "General Lu will do his best..."

The admiral did his best.

Wu Neng strategizes and punches monsters, and Wen Neng dedicates his body to stabilize the abyss. He has both internal and external skills, and has both ability and political integrity. It can be said that he is not a pillar of the alliance.

Chai Yongning finally sighed: "You can stay for a few days, this is a big matter, we need to discuss it carefully."

Lu Tinghan nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

Chai Yongning hesitated for a moment and asked, "But why did you tell me?"

In the last days military power is everything. Chai Yongning has no real power, so he can say that he has been half-emptied, but Lu Tinghan doesn't need to tell him.

Lu Tinghan said: "This is not my war alone, you are also my comrade in arms."

"..." There was some emotion in Chai Yongning's eyes, and he sighed again, "Admiral Lu, let's discuss it—just the two of us, and Professor Guan Xun if necessary, this matter does not need to be expanded. Last question , please answer me honestly, what kind of existence is he to you?"

The sun was shining through the window and fell on the shoulders of the two, and the light and dust in the air were dancing.

Lu Tinghan's eyes were still firm, but softer than before, like a gray-blue ocean filled with skylight.

"He's my love," he said.

Two days later, the discussion ended, and Chai Yongning agreed to Lu Tinghan's proposal.

Lu Tinghan returned to Fengyang City.

Walking through the old streets all the way, he came to the secluded residence. It was raining today and the sky was gray. He held up a black umbrella and went home.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that Shi Yuan's sneakers were gone.

Shi Yuan went out.

Lu Tinghan called him, but he didn't reply. There were mostly unoccupied buildings around, and there were not many places to go. Lu Tinghan looked for it, and saw an abandoned station 80 meters away from his home.

The station had just been shut down, and no passengers came again. The station signs and advertising slogans had not been removed in time, and the words were densely packed. A lamp was still on, and the white light pierced the swaying rain curtain, fell into the puddles again, and was shattered by the dancing raindrops. The surrounding abandoned buildings were engulfed in darkness. From this point of view, it seemed that this small station was left in the world.

Lu Tinghan saw that under the light, the young man's slightly slender body was leaning against the stop sign—Shi Yuan sat at the station and fell asleep.

Lu Tinghan knew why Shi Yuan was here.

Before he left, he took the aircraft and left from this direction. Shi Yuan didn't expect that this time the aircraft landed at another base, and Lu Tinghan came back from the completely opposite road. This time, when looking at her husband, she looked in the wrong direction.

In the past two days, discussing with Chai Yongning, plus the daily command work, Lu Tinghan was very busy, so he only had time to send a few messages to Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan was always worried that he would affect Lu Tinghan, probably because he was too anxious and couldn't stay at home, so he came to this station to wait.

I don't know if I come here all the time.

The sky and the earth are dark, cold and rainy. Lonely lights, abandoned stations and sleeping boys.

Lu Tinghan stood in the rain and watched for a few seconds, then walked over—

He sat beside Shi Yuan quietly, with the open black umbrella blocking the rain and wind. After sitting like this for two minutes, Shi Yuan's eyelids moved, and he said vaguely, "Hmm...?"

"It's me." Lu Tinghan said, "Shi Yuan, let's go home."
