Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Ryan, it's mine!
There were tents everywhere. Several generator trucks were laid with thick cables, and privately connected electric lights illuminated the entire camp.
Because of Ryan, many people escaped from Changkong, and now it has become a mess, enough to make any insurance company bankrupt.
However, when he drove there, he was slightly amazed by the scene before him.
It was late at night, but the camp was still bustling. A market had actually formed on the main road. Families exchanged the things they had brought with them when they fled, and then processed and sold the distributed food, as if this could recoup some of their losses.
"Huh? We're here already?" Elysia rubbed her eyes and her eyes lit up when she saw the market outside: "It's really lively. I've wanted to come and take a look for a long time."
"Shouldn't you see helplessness? Never mind. You always see something different." Ryan was too lazy to complain and shrugged lightly: "But it's still quite strange. After the hustle and bustle, there is destruction, and after the destruction, there is hustle and bustle again."
"Isn't that what people are like? As long as they are alive, they must always be strong and brilliant. This attitude is also very beautiful." Elysia was still smiling and returned her clothes to Ryan. "And I didn't realize that you are also very gentle and know how to please girls."
Ryan didn't know how to answer, so he just smiled awkwardly, threw his clothes into the back seat, pushed the door, got out of the car, and headed towards the camp.
He looked at the stalls on both sides with interest. The faces of the victims didn't look very good, but they weren't desperate either.
Now is the weirdest time. The world order and financial system still exist, the victims are still a minority, and it is far from the point where everyone is playing PUBG, so theoretically there is still a chance to return to the previous life.
The Honkai disease did not spread. The third Honkai was more like a major earthquake. Many people died, but the rest had to live.
They found a roadside stall and sat down. On the iron stand next to them, the word "noodles" was written crookedly on A4 paper, and water was boiling in an iron pot.
"Two bowls of mixed noodles. It's my treat this time." Ryan shouted casually, and smiled at Elysia who was holding up her head. "It seems that the supplies are very complete, even the seasonings are available. But a bowl of noodles costs 20 yuan. I thought it was on Huaizhong Road."
"We haven't reached the stage of bartering yet. We have to make money. It's a pity that they have lost their houses. The housing prices in Changkong are still quite expensive."
"At least I don't have to pay back the loan, and I can feel relaxed from now on." Ryan told a black joke, and his originally restless heart calmed down.
Just as Elysia said, life goes on as usual. Even in Su City, 200 kilometers away, one cannot feel this atmosphere of desolation.
Two bowls of hot noodles were quickly served, and Ryan chatted with the boss. He said that he would go to Songcheng to live with his relatives in a while, and use the compensation he received to open another noodle shop.
"What can I do? I have to live my life. I'll just consider it as a loss from doing business in Changkong for the past ten years. Old men like me can't just cry and commit suicide when something happens. At least I'm still alive, which is much luckier than those who died or lost limbs."
Ryan nodded. Since everyone else had let it go, there was no need for him to try to persuade them. When he picked up the chopsticks, he saw that Elysia had already started eating.
Slurp.
A few noodles disappeared in her little mouth along with the red oil. Ryan saw that she looked satisfied, so he took a bite as well, but found that the taste was not very good, as Shaozi also used frozen meat to make it.
"You're really not picky about food."
"It's delicious to begin with, and it tastes even better when you see everyone facing life positively." Elysia answered seriously, shaking her head slightly, "As long as you observe carefully, you will always see beautiful things and be happy at any time."
Be happy? It seems that Elysia never despaired until the end, which is also a kind of skill.
Ryan smiled, as if he was infected, and felt that the bland noodles became delicious. Then he heard Elysia ask suddenly.
"Hua is your schoolmate?"
"To be exact, it's my junior sister. Hey, how do you know her?"
"Because I was the one who gave her the training for joining the team."
Ryan immediately became alert, squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, hesitantly said: "You...didn't instill some weird theory into her."
Hua has joined the Fire Moth and is currently undergoing recruit training.
"Really? How can you say that to me? There's nothing weird about it. I'm too lazy to repeat the grand vision of the Fire Moth. I just taught her some very useful techniques to deal with a stupid person."
Elysia was very excited and tried hard not to reveal the answer.
"Why do I feel like you are hinting at me? Besides, Hua is a little too honest. Don't bully her, and don't be like Mobius..."
"What's wrong with being like me?"
Ryan was startled and slowly turned his head. What came into view was a pair of long legs in black stockings, straight, slender, and tightly fitted. Looking up, he saw a short skirt and a shirt, and beyond the raised peaks, he saw a beautiful face.
The woman squinted her eyes, her golden earrings with infinity patterns reflected the light, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Mobius, why are you here?" Ryan frowned immediately. Not only did Mobius come, but his expression was also very strange. He seemed to be smiling, but he was actually a little angry.
"Why can't I come?" Mobius smiled even more and snorted at Elysia who was waving at him: "I'm waiting for you to report in. You two seem quite leisurely."
Report? Oh, that's the story.
Ryan remembered that he had originally planned to cooperate in the research of the fusion warrior plan, but after experiencing the intensity of Mobius work, he had to relax first.
However, the way Mobius seemed to be taking control made him wary. He knew that this woman had to be pinned down before she would cooperate freely.
"You didn't tell me when you'd report. I won't take the blame. But since you're here, how about having a bowl?"
"Okay, you're so generous." Mobius pulled a plastic stool over and called out to the person behind him, "Klein, come and eat too."
The green haired assistant stood by the car and glanced at the people sitting at the folding table. Mobius was full of fighting spirit, Ryan had a blank expression, and Elysia held her head in her hands, looking like she was enjoying a good show.
"Doc, I'm not hungry yet." She shook her head like a rattle, her desire to survive full out.
"If you don't want to eat it, forget it." Mobius didn't force it. she ordered the bowl casually and looked around.
Ryan still had that indifferent look, and Elysia look of watching the show was even more infuriating.
She couldn't quite figure out these two people and had no idea what they were up to.
"You guys...are dating?"
ah?
Ryan choked. He didn't expect that after observing for such a long time, Mobius would speak so venomously as soon as she opened his mouth. She was already prepared for his sarcasm.
"Nonsense, your imagination is really..."
"Yes, after all, I like Ryan too. Even among my countless friends, he is a very special one." Elysia answered first, and added happily in her heart.
Well, at least until now, no one has joined me in fighting against the Herrscher.
Is this Elysia serious?
Mobius frowned. They were not close friends who could talk about anything, and she was never sure what she was thinking. Then she looked carefully at the smiling face opposite her and found that she did not seem to be lying at all.
Ryan also turned his head, and couldn't see any clues either, but he knew Elysia nature, and his sparkling purple eyes were full of interest.
She's being naughty again. No, she seems to want me to be the scabbard of Mobius to prevent this woman from going crazy.
Ryan held his forehead and said helplessly: "Elysia, stop joking and don't say such misleading words."
"Are you kidding? Isn't my expression serious enough?" Elysia turned her head away, looking heartbroken. "Ryan, when you visited me, you said you liked me very much."
What I mean is that I'm not annoying, and no one would dislike you.
Ryan mouth twitched and his head started to grow bigger. Sometimes Elysia was really hard to deal with. He moved his eyes slightly and glanced at Mobius.
The woman's smile gradually cooled, and her expression became visibly complicated. She looked a little angry, a little doubtful, as if she felt sorry that such a talented person had been abducted, but it seemed to be more than that.
Mobius said nothing, but his eyes gradually became sharper, forming a sharp contrast with the smiling Elysia, which made Ryan confused, but his instinct reminded him not to stay.
These two women are more difficult to deal with than the other. If I sit here I will just become a target and be beaten to pieces. It would be better to jump out and watch them have fun.
Aha! Great!
He seemed to have turned from a pioneering life to a happy life, and stood up with a smile.
"I'll go pay the bill, you two can enjoy your meal."
"Okay, thank you for your hospitality today." Elysia nodded slightly, then lowered her voice: "Mobius, you scared Ryan away."
"He has something wrong in his mind, it has nothing to do with me."
"Haha, then where does the evil in your heart come from? You shouldn't be so idle as to come here to eat noodles in the middle of the night."
The girl was still smiling, but Mobius stopped smiling. She found that she couldn't answer this question.
"You can't answer that, right? When Ryan had that cardiac arrest, you were unexpectedly nervous."
"Because he is very valuable, it would be very troublesome if he died."
"Really? Then why did you rush here tonight? Could it be that——" Elysia covered her mouth with a look of surprise, "You don't think I want to take your assistant away, do you?"
"Is it okay for me to be hungry? His personal life has nothing to do with his value. I don't care about it, and it's not your turn to care."
"Well said. I'll go and pester him then." Elysia stood up immediately.
"etc!"
Mobius blurted out, then saw Elysia turned her head with a smile on her face, and immediately clenched his teeth.
" Elysia!"
"My dear Mobius, you are so cute when you are stubborn. Ryan is really a magical person. Even you have become interesting."
I can't see clearly, or I can't see clearly, what exactly does she want to do?
Mobius rubbed his swollen temple and said sullenly, "Do you like to play tricks on me so much?"
"On the contrary, I am concerned about you. Didn't you notice a detail? After your application was rejected by the higher-ups, you never mentioned the Third Herrscher again. You have been secretly researching it before." Elysia was very serious. This rare look froze Mobius expression.
She really didn't notice this detail, because when she was the Second Herrscher, Elysia also came to persuade her, but she was very disdainful at the time and couldn't help feeling a little ironic.
"So you're playing him? To trap me?"
"No, I really like Ryan."
"What kind of like?"
"Does love need to be divided into different categories? To me, all love is equally passionate."
"So there is something wrong with you. You are hard to figure out!"
Haha, why don't people say now that personal life has nothing to do with values?
Elysia tilted her head and smiled, "Guess?"
The lights dimmed, and Mobius snake-like eyes gradually became sharper. She disdained other people's kindness and even more so her control.
Very few people dared to meet that kind of gaze, but Elysia face was still full of gentleness, as if she couldn't feel the anger.
"I know you haven't thought it through. A confused girl is cute. But dear Mobius, tell me what you want to say most in your heart."
His throat was surging, and Mobius seemed to feel some kind of magic. she no longer doubted himself, no longer made assumptions or denials, and no longer cared about reason and emotion. she just answered firmly:
"Ryan, it's mine!"
