Annihilation of the solar system

The person who opened the door was a slightly fat middle-aged man. When he saw Zhou Cheng, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at him alertly and said:

"Did you come from somewhere else?"

Zhou Cheng put on a forced smile on his almost frozen face:

:.,

"Yes, I saw a bright light here in the sky and wanted to come over and have a look."

The warm air flowing from the half-open door made Zhou Cheng lean forward unconsciously. The man frowned slightly and looked at the shivering Zhou Cheng.

"Are you the Awakener?" the man asked.

Zhou Cheng nodded:

"Yes, I would like to ask if there is any place to stay nearby."

The man's eyes fell on the two bracelets on Zhou Cheng's wrist. After hesitating for a moment, he took away the hand blocking the door:

"You'll freeze to death if you wear so little. Come in first."

The layout of the house made Zhou Cheng feel very friendly. Compared with the spotless order in the Eternal City, although there was a slight clutter here, it had more of a sense of life.

Two children were playing chess on the coffee table in the living room. The food and fruits in the column beside them made Zhou Cheng swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

"You haven't eaten yet?" The man seemed to have read Zhou Cheng's thoughts.

Zhou Cheng smiled awkwardly and nodded:

"We were walking in a hurry, and we didn't even have time to eat."

The man shouted toward the kitchen:

"Honey, heat up the food, we have guests."

"Is Misha here again? The food is not cold yet, so come and eat." A woman's voice came from the back room.

Zhou Cheng followed the man to the dining room. The woman at the dining table was carrying two plates of food. When he saw Zhou Cheng, he was stunned, and then looked at the man. Although the woman's face was not as delicate as the women of the Eternal City, it was revealing

A tenderness and virtuousness that they don't have.

"The awakened ones have come to our area. They are almost frozen," the man said.

The gentle smile returned to the woman's face, she put down the dishes and left. The aroma of the food made Zhou Cheng even more hungry, and he didn't care about so much dignity anymore, so he grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and ate hungrily.

The man sat across from the dining table and watched Zhou Cheng finish eating. He threw a cigarette over and lit one himself:

"My name is Rutte, and this is my wife." His voice was very strong, as if he was born with it.

Zhou Cheng picked up the cigarette, nodded to the woman holding the ashtray, and then said:

"My name is Zhou Cheng. I'm really sorry to disturb you so late. Thank you for your hospitality."

Rutte waved his hand, still maintaining a calm expression on his face:

"Did you wake up recently?"

"Yes, it's less than 3 months." Zhou Cheng replied.

A trace of doubt appeared on Rutte's face:

"Three months? That's very rare. As far as I know, there have been no awakened ones for at least three centuries."

Zhou Cheng explained:

"I was frozen because I was seriously injured by ionizing radiation. The treatment process was very long, so I only woke up recently."

Lu Te looked at the two bracelets on Zhou Cheng's wrist:

app,&~p.

"Did you come from the moon?"

Zhou Cheng nodded:

"Well, I saw the light of the town when I entered the atmosphere. I heard from my friends in the Eternal City before that there are settlements outside the city, so I wanted to come and see it."

Rutte snorted coldly:

"Huh! There are no so-called friends anywhere in the city."

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Rutte's wife said:

"Mr. Zhou Cheng, does that mean you lived in the city before?"

Zhou Cheng smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, I lived in the city after I woke up. I was invited to go to the moon today. When I came back, I passed by your place and wanted to come in and have a look. But I forgot that it is already winter."

After listening to this, Lu Te and his wife looked at each other with confusion. Even Zhou Cheng himself felt that his logic in Chinese was a bit confusing, and he planned to explain it again. But Lu Te seemed to fully understand what he wanted to express.

"It's not easy for people to be allowed to go to the moon now."

Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that some things were put on the moon before they were frozen, and now I went to get them back. Look at me, didn't I just have them sent back immediately after I took them out?"

Rutte's unsmiling expression finally relaxed:

"Looking at you dressed like this, you don't look like you live on the moon. Only those people in the city who enjoy four seasons of spring all year round would wear something like this in this season."

Zhou Chenghan said with a smile:

"Yeah, if I hadn't met you, I might have frozen to death by now. By the way, is there a hotel in the town? It looks like I still have to deal with it for one night."

Rutte's spirit also relaxed:

"We have almost no floating population here, so there are no hotels. I have many houses here, so you can stay here tonight."

Zhou Cheng’s intention was not to disturb this kind-hearted family anymore, but he really didn’t want to return to the city for the time being and had nowhere to go, so he could only do as he pleased.

Lu Te took Zhou Cheng to a low house behind the small building. Although the facilities here were not comparable to those in the city, it was already rarely warm and tidy in this cold weather.

"These are my clothes, you can make do with it first. In this weather, you can't go out in these clothes." Rutte brought a set of clothes and put them on the bedside.

"I'm sorry to trouble you so much, Mr. Lu." Zhou Cheng thanked him repeatedly.

"Just call me Lao Lu, and I will call you Lao Zhou. There is hot water in the room. I see that you are also very tired. Take a bath and have a good rest. I will take you around tomorrow." Lu Te said.

After that, he left the room.

Zhou Cheng took a bath and regained a lot of energy. He walked around in this small cabin that was not spacious. The brick pillar walls, wooden doors and windows, and ordinary incandescent lamps all reminded him of his childhood.

While living in the compound, I felt a lot more at ease.

He came to the table by the window and after confirming that there was only the howling cold wind outside the window, he took out the document bag given to him by the marshal. Inside the paper bag were three pages of paper wrapped in vacuum bags. Zhou Cheng carefully

I took out the vacuum packaging and took out the paper.

The content on the first page was similar to the dossier he had found in the information left by Wen Tang, but there was some extra content, and two pieces of information caught Zhou Cheng's attention.

One of them showed that Cao Rui was arrested and died in the 18th year after the Doomsday War, and he clearly remembered seeing Cao Rui's name in the file in the 17th year after the Doomsday War, but at that time he

He was still the person handling the case. It was hard for him to imagine what had happened to his extremely wise old friend in just one year.

Another piece of information made Zhou Cheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. In the column for the reason for arrest, the word "rebellion" was clearly written, while the column for the cause of death was "mental disorder."

This made Zhou Cheng's mind buzzing. He was completely unable to associate the words "rebellion", "mental disorder" and "arrested" with the old friend he knew well. Any common sense thinking would

Put him into an even more desperate predicament.

When he was puzzled, Zhou Cheng picked up two other pieces of paper. The two photos on one of the papers were front and side photos of Cao Rui holding his identity information, standing in front of a height scale. The other one was

The photo on the paper looks like it was taken from a prison cell.

When he saw his old friend's old face full of scars again, Zhou Cheng was filled with emotions. A burst of sadness surged in his heart. The farewell three months ago turned out to be a farewell that changed in time and space.

Zhou Cheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the photo carefully. Not only did Cao Rui's tough-as-a-knife eyes not reveal the so-called "mental disorder" at all, but it felt as if his eyes were almost piercing the paper to confront him.

Say something. This reminded Zhou Cheng of a sentence that Cao Rui often said when speculating on his opponent's motives: "What is his purpose?"

"Old Cao, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Zhou Cheng muttered.

Suddenly, he saw something strange in the photo. There were tattoos of various graphics and characters on Cao Rui's arms. He knew very well that Cao Rui had no tattoos on his arms. These tattoos could only appear after they separated.

.

When he looked at another photo, he found similar characters and patterns on the cell wall. This made him almost certain that Cao Rui was trying to convey some message to him.
