Doomsday Wonderland

The closer we get to our destination, the more embarrassing the scene outside the car window becomes.

The launch base occupies a vast area and the location must be remote enough, so naturally it can only be chosen in an economically underdeveloped area. As the girl drove deeper and deeper, the prosperous city had long since disappeared; as she sped through the towns and countryside, she saw clothes still hanging outside the dilapidated and disrepaired low-earth houses, plastic bags soaked in black wastewater on both sides of the road, and old people sitting on the road. While doing handicrafts, he scolded a young child next to him who was not wearing any pants. The skin on his face was so dry that it seemed like there was no trace of flesh and blood underneath.

There always seems to be a layer of faint gray mist between heaven and earth, I don't know if it's pollution or despair. At night, she felt more comfortable: most of the outlines were hidden, and in the dark and silent night, only the distant mountains and sparse stars looked at the world silently.

On the screen of a mobile phone in the car, Maruchingge's back was still as smooth as he was running; however, even in the night, it could be seen that the clothes on his back were all soaked.

Han Suiping in the distance sent Maru Qingge's position and image to the girl's stolen mobile phone in real time through a map satellite, so that she would not be lost due to speed or accidents.

The two have been running for forty hours without eating, sleeping or resting. They are now more than 350 kilometers away from the satellite launch base - the rocket carrying the satellite will be launched at ten o'clock in the morning, and it is now four o'clock in the morning. .

Deducting the one hour spent infiltrating the base and installing the communicator, this meant that they still had five hours to complete the 350 kilometers, which was theoretically enough, and they could even take some time to catch their breath.

"Let's stop for a while," Nuyue said into the earphone, "If you keep running, you will be exhausted and a useless person by the time you reach the base. What's the use of that?"

"I agree." Han Suiping's voice intervened.

This is the fourth time tonight that Nuyue has persuaded Maru Qingge to rest. The first three times he was rejected outright - but this time, the figure on the screen slowly slowed down until it stopped completely, and sat down on the ground with a grunt. .

"Such a small distance... In the past, it was nothing." In the earphones, his voice was hoarse and almost dry: "Is there any water?"

"Yes, wait a minute." Nuyue stepped on the accelerator and sped up.

The communications between the three of them were all completed by Han Suiping manipulating the communication base station signals; they had not slept for forty hours, and he also monitored and coordinated in real time from a distance for forty hours. Han Suiping would occasionally project his video signal onto the screen of his mobile phone, and it was impossible to tell where he was now. It was always dark; the face illuminated by the desk lamp from bottom to top always frightened the girl. One jump.

When she drove closer, the pale-faced Maruzinge was sitting on the edge of the road at night, with a row of cypress trees behind him rustling in the wind; behind the cypress trees, there were stretches of dark fields with no end. He had taken off his shirt and goggles, and his slender, thin and toned muscles were slightly shiny with sweat in the moonlight.

Nu Yue handed him two bottles of mineral water, sighed and said, "Take a rest, you are all covered in sweat."

Maruchingge raised his face and poured down a large bottle of water; the water wet his hair, splashed on his shoulders, and fell into his mouth. Han Suiping's voice came from the mobile phone: "I think we can take twenty minutes to rest... After all, we still have to rely on you to sneak in after arriving at the base. If you look too miserable, people will easily become suspicious."

Thinking of this, Nuyue felt uncomfortable. She asked Han Suiping if she could also sneak into the base to help, but she got an answer that she was not happy with: Judging from the employee information, there are not many female employees in the base, and most of them are in living support units. There are many places where people work, such as hospitals and hotels; it would be difficult for her to get into the core department even if she sneaks in.

"Girls are not good at science and technology," Han Suiping comforted her at that time, "that's why there are so few people."

"Let me warn you in advance," Nuyue replied: "If you go to the Twelve Realms and still say such things, you will be taught how to be a human being by the female evolution."

This sentence shocked him at the time, and he didn't dare to say a word for dozens of minutes.

"also,"

Maruzinge's voice brought her back to her thoughts, "I can just take a quick wash. Maybe it's because my body is sweating so much that it smells so bad. I always feel like there are little bugs flying around me."

As he spoke, he waved vigorously at his side—perhaps it was because there were so many mosquitoes in the countryside. Nuyue remembered that he seemed to have said similar words when he was slowing down on the mountain road yesterday.

After he came back with an empty water bottle and changed into dry clothes, he only slept for ten minutes before Nuyue woke him up again. Maruchinge was obviously still in a daze, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized where he was and what he was going to do. Without saying a word, he put on his goggles again and hit the road.

"Come on," Nuyue said to him in the earphone, "at ten and a half in the morning, we can start the journey back. Then you can have a good sleep in the car, for a few hours. "

In fact, she herself was so tired that she fainted, but she still couldn't rest on the return trip. There was only one period of time when she could rest for a while - after Maruzingo entered the base and before he came out.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and they gradually approached the satellite launch base as scheduled. The countryside shrouded in gray fog has long since been forgotten, and the flat and wide road cuts straight into the canyon. Roadside signs, warning signs, and the surrounding facilities of the space city gradually begin to appear; She slowed down and said from the headset: "Nvyue, the first checkpoint is just ahead. Judging from the road sign, it's still one kilometer away from me."

Nuyue calculated the distance between her and her in her mind, and then replied: "Okay, wait for me for a while, I will be there soon."

From the first level, she was about to hand over the car to Maruchingo and let him enter the base alone. Han Suiping had already stored his fake information and license plate number in the satellite base's employee system, which was enough to deal with the peripheral inspection posts.

Maruchinge would then lie and claim that his wallet was lost and his ID was also lost, but his personal information and facial recognition information were already in the system, enough to prove that he was a base employee. If necessary, Maruchingge would even ask the checkpoint to call the base to confirm his identity - Han Suiping could intercept the communication signal, and the caller would hear his voice.

"Okay, I see you," Nuyue slowed down the car and the figure on the roadside in the distance waved to her. She approached the car to the side of the road, and suddenly felt that the car was a little too quiet, so she couldn't help but call out: "Han Suiping?"

A long, steady breath answered her.

"Han Suiping!" Nuyue raised her voice a bit.

Han Suiping took a breath, "Huh?" and his voice returned to the earphones: "What? Who... Oh, oh. Did I fall asleep just now?"

"Don't sleep at such a critical time. We have reached the first level." Nuyue became anxious, "Go and wash your face!"

"I don't have water here..." Han Suiping muttered, sleepiness still thick in his throat. "Wait a minute... I seem to have accidentally released the satellite signal when I just fell asleep. Let me look for you..."

While he was speaking, Nuyue had already stopped the car beside Maruchingge. In the early morning, there was not even a car on the road heading in this direction, but she was not afraid of being seen; she grabbed her mobile phone and backpack, got out of the car, and gave him the driver's seat. Maruchingge closed the door, waved to her, and drove out onto the road ahead.

"Oh, I found it. It was in front of the first inspection checkpoint. I saw his car." Han Suiping couldn't help but become a little nervous and said as if to make a promise: "I'm ready. As soon as they call , I can intercept the signal at any time."

It only takes one minute for Maruchingo to reach the level.

Although Nuyue's speed was not as fast as that of Maru Qingge, one kilometer was only a few minutes for her. She soon saw the silver car from a distance. Maruchinge parked the car outside the checkpoint. At this time, the man got out of the car and was talking to a man who looked like a soldier. There were also several heavily armed men who opened the trunk and doors of the car, and even the car I haven't missed it at all, and I'm checking it carefully.

In the headset, he was explaining to the people checking the checkpoints that he was an employee of the base. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net lost his wallet for some reason, and now he had to rush back to the base... Obviously, everything was going according to plan.

"You can call the base to confirm my identity..."

"No need." Everything went unexpectedly smoothly - after the soldier scanned Maruzingge's face with a machine, he clicked on the screen a few times, then nodded to him and said, "Well, are you here?" In the system. Level 2 researcher? But you must quickly apply for a new certificate when you go back. This will not happen next time."

He shouted to several colleagues: "Has the car been inspected?"

"There's no problem with the car." Several other people also came back, "You can pass by."

Nuyue, who was secretly lying in the grass on the roadside, couldn't help but let out a low sigh of relief after hearing this.

The silver car restarted, passed the checkpoint, and continued on to the road ahead. She can't go any further. The electrified protective net in front cuts off the way. Cameras and searchlights will not let anyone dare to get close. The only entrance is where Maruchingge just passed. That highway.

She squatted in the grass, listening to the occasional conversations between Maru Qingge and Han Suiping, while watching the silver car gradually become smaller and about to disappear from sight.

"Wish me luck," Maru Qingge said with a slight smile.

The next second, there was a loud explosion on the highway in the distance. A broken silver car was thrown up like a matchbox, and flames shot into the sky.
