Chapter 208 "I've Decided to Return to My Own Business—"

Fu Yan and the others crossed the sea and returned to Wrangel Island at the end of the frozen period.

The temperature in the Bering Strait rose a little the night before, and they encountered a crumbling ice floe on the way back. Fortunately, they were safe and speeded past.

On Wrangel Island, Fang Sining stayed behind and waited for them to return. Shao Qiu's physical condition stabilized, and he finally woke up once from a long lethargy.

Fang Sining didn't know if he regretted his impulsiveness, he didn't dare to ask or touch Shao Qiu's scar, he just told him that everything would be fine.

"I will definitely cure you." Fang Sining said.

Shao Qiu seemed to be indifferent to this matter, and he didn't care much about it. He only woke up for a few minutes, and then fell asleep again.

Fang Sining was unable to say a word to him, nor was he able to ask his thoughts again.

So Fang Sining could only hold his hand, sit on the cold floor next to his bed, and spend the long night alone in the quiet darkness.

He was unwilling to leave Shao Qiu in the care of others, so he did everything himself.After Liu Ruosong left with Fu Yan, their laboratory was closed again, so Fang Sining had a lot of time to guard Shao Qiu.

He often chats with Shao Qiu alone, even if he can't hear the response, it doesn't matter.At first he was talking about the common memory of the two of them when they were young, but after this matter was finished, he began to talk about the years of separation and everything he experienced when he was studying.

Fang Sining was also afraid that Shao Qiu would not want to listen, so he would pick and choose every time, skipping all Shao Xuefan's parts.

But his storytelling ability is really not very good. He often remembers that Shao Xuefan is in the story halfway through the story, so he can only brake suddenly, jump over the pit stumbling, and continue to tell.

——Anyway, Xiao Qiu can't hear it, Fang Sining thought, let's just be a little lame, it doesn't matter.

But he was only focused on telling his own nonsense stories, but he didn't see that Shao Qiu's hand moved lightly under the quilt.

These days, Fang Sining and Shao Qiu seem to have returned to the time when they were kidnapped, only he and Shao Qiu were alone, Shao Qiu was unconscious, and he was the only one left babbling the same story.

Half a month later, Fu Yan and the others crossed the Bering Strait, circled back from the border between the neighboring country and Wrangel Island, successfully returned to the island, and reunited with the left-behind logistics personnel.

The news that Eden One was in hand has already been reported, and all the field personnel who came out this time were very happy, and even a young man took the lead, took a firewood stick from the warming campfire, and ran around the station holding it three laps.

They were crazy, and they were even more unscrupulous on this uninhabited island. Some people roared into the wilderness, their throats were filled with cold wind, and they became hoarse for a moment.

Knowing that they were happy, Fu Yan and Feng Lei let them go.

Fang Sining was also very excited. For him, Eden No. [-] was closely related to Shao Qiu's fate. He couldn't wait for a moment. Ruo loosened his hands and asked them repeatedly when they could go back.

"Soon." Liu Ruosong looked at the line where the sea meets the sky in the distance, and said softly, "We also really want to go home."

In the temporary communication station, Fu Yan broadcast a video call with Zhao Jincheng alone.

On the way back, He Feng and the others had already reported the basic task situation once.He Tang and the others did not rush to attack, and gave Fu Yan all the credit for Eden One, saying that he "single-handedly went deep into the tiger's den and successfully retrieved the potion among thousands of troops".

During the report, Fu Yan was resting due to the slight concussion caused by the explosion, otherwise he would have covered He Tang's mouth and dragged her away from the communicator.

It's a pity that this kind of situation didn't happen. After Fu Yan's adverse reaction completely subsided, the whole military region almost knew about it.

"What kind of personal heroism!" Zhao Jincheng was furious on the opposite side of the video: "You are the only one who can do it! Are you three-headed and six-armed! If the door is opened, someone will have an arsenal! Do you want your little life!"

When Zhao Jincheng thought about it, he felt distressed and angry. Over the course of the night, he had several pimples on his face. When he finally saw Fu Yan, he just opened his mouth to scold him.

Fu Yan knew that Zhao Jincheng was afraid, so he obediently listened to the training, not daring to speak back.

After Zhao Jincheng finished scolding, he felt uncomfortable too. He wiped his face and turned his head away from the camera.

After a long time, Zhao Jincheng said, "How is it, are you okay?"

"No, everything is fine." Fu Yan said, "Except for Shao Qiu—"

Zhao Jincheng made a stop gesture, signaling him to stop talking.

He had heard about Shao Qiu's matter before, but now he couldn't take it easy.Fu Yan's team was selected by him in the past, and he pulled it together one by one. In official business, he is the subordinate of the direct line. In private, he is old enough to be their father.

One of these children suddenly fell apart, and Zhao Jincheng's heart ached so badly that he couldn't sleep well at night.

"Forget it." Zhao Jincheng sighed, and said, "It's fine as soon as you get the medicine, and take your time in the future."

During this period of time, Zhao Jincheng became haggard a lot. He seemed to have aged into an old and loving old man in an instant. When he faced the younger generation, it was already difficult for him to maintain his uncompromising elder posture for a long time.

Fu Yan could clearly see that the moment he turned his head to wipe his face, hot tears fell on his palm.

"Come back." Zhao Jincheng said, "I'm waiting to discuss my merits with you."

"Understood." Fu Yan said, "Let's go at dawn tomorrow."

There are long nights and dreams outside, not to mention that Eden One should be sent back to the Yancheng Military Region as soon as possible.So Fu Yan and Feng Lei decided not to rest and recuperate on Wrangel Island, but to go back to their homes as soon as possible.

The bunch of captured researchers in the research institute are not too useful now, but Liu Ruosong still packed them into an empty supply truck, and planned to throw them into the suburbs if these people refused to help. Plant potatoes and corn.

Fang Sining, as a member of our team, has no sense of belonging to these "former colleagues", and even intervened in this link, providing a list of the research institute, as if he was afraid that Liu Ruosong would accidentally fall behind one or two fish who slipped through the net Same.

On the last night on Wrangel Island, no one slept.

Fu Yan walked out of the tent wearing heavy winter clothes, and saw Liu Ruosong sitting on a small hillside not far away, looking up at the starry sky.

It is close to the Arctic Ocean, and there is no human habitation all year round. If Joe Aiden hadn't set up the research institute here, this place should have been a pure land on earth.

Fu Yan walked to Liu Ruosong and sat down, followed his gaze to look up, and said, "Can't you sleep?"

"No, I just feel that if you don't look at such a beautiful scenery, you will be disappointed." Liu Ruosong said.

The cold wind howled, and the temperature tens of degrees below zero catalyzed the wind into cold and sharp blades, but the starry sky above their heads was extremely bright, brilliantly connecting into a river of stars, and the stars scattered into a long river, like the night itself, or like Concrete time.

Even Fu Yan was moved by the majestic beauty, his eyelashes trembled, and a very fine piece of snow fell on them.

He seemed to finally understand Liu Ruosong's feeling of seeing mountains as beautiful and seeing water as beautiful, as the scenery flowed past his eyes, it finally turned into the warm breathing of the people around him.

Liu Ruosong tilted his head and rested his head on Fu Yan's shoulder.

"You can still come in the future." Fu Yan said, "It's not far away, you can bring your camera with you next time."

Liu Ruosong has been to so many no-man's lands, if he likes Wrangel Island, he will have a chance to revisit the old places in the future.

But unexpectedly, Liu Ruosong refused.

"I won't come anymore." Liu Ruosong said, "I'll change careers when I get back, and I won't run to these places where I'm playing my life."

"Huh?" Fu Yan turned his head to look at him in surprise.

For Liu Ruosong, everything in this world has something to appreciate, so he is naturally gentle and affectionate, unwilling to let down every inch of scenery.

Fu Yan struggled to support in the apocalypse. Apart from wanting to break his fate, what he wanted in his heart was to give Liu Ruosong a free world that could be revitalized again.

"Isn't it enough to play with your life?" Liu Ruosong looked at Fu Yan amusedly, and said, "I've had enough, let's live in peace and stability in the future, and don't make trouble anymore."

When I was young, I chased my dreams, but when I came back after life and death, I still felt that only stability is the most valuable.

Besides—

Liu Ruosong turned his head and looked at Fu Yan's profile.

Fu Yan is much thinner than before, but his outline is still firm and handsome. He was broken and reshaped in more than ten years. He did not lose himself during those times, but gritted his teeth and came out, becoming a more reliable man. look like.

The past ten years have been quietly immersed in his body, only Liu Ruosong can see those rays of light.

——Besides, the best scenery is already by his side, Liu Ruosong thought.

From then on, those mountains, rivers, plants, fishes and insects, beautiful as they are beautiful, will be eclipsed in front of this person.

Suddenly, Liu Ruosong's heart felt hot, he held Fu Yan's face in his hands, and kissed it suddenly.

The snow flakes blown up by the wind melted between their lips and teeth, and the icy temperature was quickly assimilated by body temperature, turning into a pool of warm water.

It was not until a long time later that Liu Ruosong gently let go of Fu Yan, and pressed his forehead against his.

"Besides, there is a lot of waste to be done, so I don't have the time to make a magazine." Liu Ruosong said: "I decided to return to my old job——"

Fu Yan didn't react for a while when he heard the words.Liu Ruosong has been working as an outdoor photographer since graduation, and now Fu Yan didn't understand what he was talking about when he heard the words "old business".

"After water pollution, the current level of agriculture has fallen back so much all of a sudden, and the vegetables grown are even tasteless with soup and water. When I think about it, I feel hopeless in the future." Liu Ruosong suddenly smiled and said: " Anyway, my first dream when I was in college was to study hybrid potatoes and hybrid cabbages."

Fu Yan burst out laughing.
