From star abyss

After the floods receded, the city streets seemed to have been bombarded with mud and water.

This metaphor may sound a bit strange, but for the people of the Blue Star who have experienced countless wars, it is extremely appropriate. In the process of the reunification of the Blue Star, anyone who has not suffered a nuclear bomb cannot be regarded as an authentic Blue Star person.

Nomi was holding a dinner plate, squatting on the edge of the tower crane, looking at the entire city from above. People were not used to living with the ocean and sunshine, and many instruments needed to be adjusted. Fortunately, the Red Arrow people were also from the most developed country in the world. Citizens, this nation has a high level of education. Whether they are engineers or doctors, they are enough to provide for the society.

Snapped.

She opened the lid and saw steaming white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds and a thick layer of fragrant cheese. The side dishes were roast beef, braised eggs and a small salad.

Fresh fruits cannot be guaranteed in the event of a disaster, but in order to help them supplement vitamins, a lot of pickles are provided. The volunteers’ meals are not bad, and many of them are cooked in the on-site kitchen. This is entirely due to the global Enthusiastic people for help.

The government of White Candle Star is high in the sky and the emperor is far away, not to mention that Leoz, who really saved them, has already descended into the star abyss. At this moment, only they can save themselves.

In the past, people thought that the army would be deployed to maintain law and order, but now it seems that this is not necessary at all. People are surprisingly united. Even if there are people who take advantage of the situation, the residents work together and jointly report the attack.

Nomi picked up a fork, picked up a piece of meat, and chewed it slowly.

The taste is not that good, but even if it is not delicious, it is still much better than the era of global blockade.

Nomi was eating what should be called breakfast, when a bottle of drink suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Nomi."

A female voice sounded from behind. Nomi swallowed the food, reached out to take the drink, and said:

"It's not hard to say, it's much easier than before. You don't know how badly I was abused when I was in the Underworld..."

"Okay, Sister Nomi, have you forgotten that I also came out of it?"

A woman in her thirties was holding the railing and standing next to Nomi. The cold wind blew over her face and lifted the hair on her forehead, revealing a shocking scar.

"Well, that's true."

Nomi opened the bottle cap, and the bubbles of the carbonated soda immediately splashed into her hand, but she didn't care about the sticky feeling. She raised her head and just drank it in big gulps.

"Haha - it feels so good. I feel relieved at last. Sure enough, I still can't get rid of the habit of being born in the outside world. I just like to drink this kind of sweet water with high sugar and high calories."

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and looked up at the woman:

"Speaking of which, Snow, could you actually remember things back then? You were just a baby at that time, no, even your brain was taken out."

"I have arcana, and my spirit has been growing at that time. When I was rescued and brought to Frost Plate, it didn't take long for me to be able to speak."

Snow chuckled.

Gulu gulu...

Nomi drank her drink and looked at this dignified young woman.

Snow Zhou, this woman wearing a fluorescent vest and anti-epidemic work clothes, looks no different from ordinary volunteers at first glance. She has the same short black hair as the man. She is slender and petite, probably less than 1.7 meters tall. .

In Medway's era, the average height of frost-plated women was 1.78 meters. If they were less than 1.7 meters, they were no different from disabled people. Women in the old republic advocated tallness, brightness, confidence, heavy makeup, and were keen on wearing clothes that could see the diaphragm. A low-cut and hip-hugging skirt, and high heels that are more than three centimeters tall.

In comparison, Snow's dress is more like a tomboy in the transitional period. Although he has some characteristics of the Devlin era, such as no makeup, flat chest, and wearing a worker's uniform, his feminine side is very obvious.

Compared with other aspects, the light blue eyes are big and bright, just like her when she was young.

From this point, we can probably deduce that this woman's actual age is probably only ten years younger than herself.

Although he looks young, it is also because of the development of arcana and climbing paths.

In fact, Snow already has two daughters, and a blood heir who was entrusted to the foster care institution of a certain company in Frost Plate. Last year, he was successfully transformed and became a glorious refinery worker.

"How was today's meal?"

Snow asked, holding a cup of instant coffee.

"It's better to eat without frosting. It tastes weird."

"It's strange but also normal. It is said to be made after imitating the previous Zhengxu recipe. The chef is not very good at making Zhengxu's special sauce."

"I've got your heart."

"You are really picky, silly sister Nomi."

"This is one of the few pursuits I have. I have been pain-free since more than 20 years ago. If I didn't even have the feeling to eat, I feel that I would be completely numb and rigid in this eternal life, and finally become It becomes a rotten elm tree, quietly decaying and weathering in the wind.”

"Well, you talk in one way now, which is completely different from decades ago."

"That's for sure. I have a college degree. Compared with that idiot Li Aozi who graduated from a technical secondary school, I'm already crushed."

The two of them chatted for a while.

To be honest, the reunion of two old friends has no dramatic effect.

After parting ways with the flame-haired girl, Nomi continued a wandering life, but it didn't last long and was forced to stop after only half a year.

It's not because she feels tired...it's because as the sun returns to the world, the ice and snow melt, and the global flood cuts off all her paths.

Of course, at least 99% of the bandit warlords who separated themselves from one side were wiped out in this wave of floods, and the rest were left to the armed security forces of the Blue Community to handle.

Nomi, who suddenly lost her life goal, began to feel idle. She had to return to her motherland, the Frost Plated Federation, and worked as a worker for a year.

As an immortal, she was bored and donated hundreds of sets of organs, making a small contribution to the country and society. In return, the Federation also gave her generous treatment.

It's a pity that she soon discovered that the big fish and meat of creditism are meaningless to an immortal person. The enjoyment of food and drink is limited to her, but the lack of monotonous spiritual society in Shuangming soon changed This made Nomi fall into depression and depression.

With the idea that she had to do something, Nomi quit her job that was so comfortable that it made people sleepy, and began to look for jobs that were more dangerous and had a higher mortality rate.

It’s not to say that she is thinking about pursuing death when she is older - she just feels that she cannot die, so if she does the dangerous work, others can go to work in a safe place and save a few more lives.

Demolition, diving, cleaning up wild animals, recycling nuclear waste, salvaging nuclear bombs, eliminating terrorists...she will do whatever is dangerous.

Perhaps because she conveniently awarded a model worker certificate, the name Nomi Anderson Guesser spread in the media.

Then...Xue Nuo came over.

"Li Ozi took the initiative to hand over Uncle Zhou Liefeng and I to the Frost Platers. Mai Dewei did not do anything to me because of human rights and reputation. Uncle Zhou was also a member of the Metro Brotherhood. At that time, Law Three and Metro were still partners. , so it didn’t embarrass him.”

Snow took out the e-cigarette, glanced at Nomi, and explained:

"Ah, this does not contain nicotine. It is a mental stabilizer. It needs to be lit and then heated and inhaled."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of the smell of smoke. Anyway, I've been blown up and burned to death a few times." Nomi said casually: "I've also been blown up to death in the Underworld."

"You, Miss Qiu Ran, and Mr. Li Aozi, I will never be able to repay the kindness you have shown me."

Snow took a puff of the smoke, closed her eyes, and exhaled a long breath, and a medicinal fragrance immediately lingered around her. She leaned against the railing behind her, holding the scar on her forehead, and said with emotion:

"Uncle Zhou was under residential surveillance for 20 years, and he also served as my guardian. I lived and studied peacefully, and then caught up with the rise of the Holy Tablet Cult. I had the opportunity to go to Red Arrow and convert to His Majesty Leoz, and became a [Mutant] Not to mention, he also successfully controlled his psychic powers, and then went to college, met, fell in love, honeymooned, and got married to a very talented young man - until I met you, I actually She has always been an ordinary housewife."

Nomi interjected:

"You have to thank David Lin. In Medway's day, housewives would be called uncivilized she-asses and sycophants."

"I have always been surprised that while shouting that women have all freedoms, they lash out at women who choose marriage and family, insulting them for polluting women's purity - what kind of freedom is this?"

Snow was puzzled.

"I'm in junior college, you ask me?"

Nomi complained:

"How could I have thought so much at that time... Medway launched wars, experimented on humans, and indulged in the rule of law. There is no good thing in the military and police all over the country. Living in the frost is like living in a doghouse. Most of them People are just looking for a reason to rebel against her."

"But now that I think about it, it's really amazing."

Snow sighed:

"The person who saved me turned into fire, and his name was left in a university in Gurant."

"There is one right in front of me. Decades later, he is tall and handsome, and he is still passionate about helping others."

"There is still one……"

She did not comment immediately, but raised her head and looked at the clear dark blue sky.

"He is so far away from us, he has become the farthest star from the earth."

Snow looked at Nomi:

"Nomi, do you want to meet Li Ozi again?"

"This radish is so delicious."

"Eh? But isn't this broccoli?"

"Yes, radish and broccoli both look like vegetables, but they are completely different from each other."

Nomi said calmly:

"In my current state, even if we meet again, what will happen? Li Ozi, he has long become a person in a different world from us. He is the president of our sovereign country of Azure Star, and his status is already unequal. Well, there’s nothing to talk about even if we have a hard time.”

"Nomi."

Snow's eyes shone slightly:

"Do you know what my arcana is? Are you sure you want to lie to me?"

"...(Wenming Shuangplating), this meal is simply inedible."

Nomi sighed, pretended to lower his head to drink the drink, and muttered impatiently:

"What did you read with your psychic powers? If I had known, the little baby who couldn't talk back then would be so difficult to deal with now, I should have thrown your swaddling clothes into the underworld of humanity!"

"Did you and Li Ozi agree to meet again?" Snow asked curiously: "Why are you unwilling to mention this incident after meeting?"

"She lied to me as a beautiful woman."

Nomi rubbed Yuebai's short hair and muttered:

"I can probably guess that he or she is... Anyway, Li Ozi is not even a human being anymore. His concepts, thoughts, knowledge, race, values, and the class he represents and the group he belongs to are all completely different from mine. It’s different.”

"He doesn't care about his gender, just like humans don't care about their need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. It's a completely detached gesture from humans. And he defeated Lord Entropy, and he can almost be called a god. Whatever he wants, he has it. Such a superman, such a god.”

Nomi raised her head, her purple eyes full of seriousness:

"Such a god lied to me."

"You have fear and tension in your heart..."

"I can understand, I completely understand, Li Ozi's purpose in doing this."

She raised her hand, held the drink bottle, raised it in the air, and said:

"A bottle without water cannot be placed beside me, because if I don't hold it firmly with my hand, it will fly around when the wind blows. But if it is filled with cement and material, it can be placed beside me steadily and will not move around. And was swept away.”

"Lee Ozi's future is dangerous, so dangerous that even he himself cannot guarantee his escape."

"That's why he lied to me and hoped that I wouldn't follow him."

Snow smiled:

"This is really his style...but you're not angry?"

"I (Wenming Shuangplating) am almost an eighty-year-old spinster, why should I be angry!"

Nomi rolled her eyes at the other party:

"Of course, I also know that Li Ozi regards me as a burden."

"Although I have super self-healing ability and live longer than any tortoise, in space, there are many people who are tougher than me. Have you ever heard of the Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder? A Zeta-level (6) like me, If you go to bed early and get up early, you won’t survive until dawn in the Milky Way Eye.”

"I have to admit...I am definitely a liability."

Nomi did not give up on herself. At her age and with her immortal body, she basically looked away.

"When Li Ozi lied to me, I knew: I shouldn't follow him, otherwise it would only cause him more trouble - maybe to him, I am actually just a disposable tableware that can be thrown away after use."

As she spoke, she raised the fork in her palm and placed it in the sun. The oil and water on the surface of the fork reflected the faint light:

"No one in this world stipulates that the first person to appear is the protagonist, and may also be the host of the announcement. Besides, if you can rely on having a close relationship with certain people to be superior to others, then everyone might as well go to the emperor and the The big entrepreneurs just want to flatter them."

At this point, Snow finally understood what the other party was thinking.

"So, Nomi."

She smiled slightly, put her hands behind her back, and said in Nomi's ear:

"If I told you that as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded, would you still give up your wish to see Li Ozi again?"

"...What do you mean?"

"You don't want to go with Li Ozi because you are afraid that Nomi Anderson Guesser, who has only relied on himself all his life, will end up turning into a scumbag who relies entirely on Li Ozi for support, right?"

Snow puffed up her chest and said confidently:

"If it's because of this, I have a way to make you upright and rely on your own strength to catch up with Li Ozi's footsteps."

Nomi turned her head and looked at Snow. After being silent for a long time, she said:

"Xiao Nuo... you are just a housewife, and your husband is a policeman. What do you know?"

"I don't quite understand. After all, I'm just a housewife."

Snow smiled:

"But I suddenly wanted to participate in politics last year, so I gave it a try. Unexpectedly, the other party found that my psychic ability was very suitable for communication, so I was elected as a member of the "Blue Community of Destiny-White Candle Autonomous State In-depth Cooperation Committee."

Nomi stared at each other blankly.

"WTF?"

"In general, Prime Minister Di Yalan felt that our Blue Star was too backward, so he planned a plan similar to poverty alleviation and assistance. The task of us committee members is to select some specific talents and cultivate Taoists who meet interstellar standards. The one who reaches God on his way.”

Snow took out a poster from his arms and handed it to Nomi:

"Nomi, you can help more people in the universe, and you can also be exposed to more ways."

"Why didn't you tell me this..."

"Because you just met the standard."

Snow said seriously:

"My requirements are very strict, Nomi."

"Immortal ability, excellent character, decades of hard work and helping others, and being on the front line without hesitation during natural disasters - it wasn't until the conversation just now that I was sure that you were really keen on helping. Others, and their hearts, are far gentler than they appear. If you are not a talent, then who is?"

"In this way, you no longer rely on Li Aozi, but on your own efforts. You have my approval."

"Go to Xingyuan, Nomi, in the words of Prime Minister Di Yalan:"

"Although they are of different races, everyone is a child of Xingyuan. Only on a larger stage can we tap into our full potential."

"Go and dive into the star abyss, tap your potential, ascend to the gods, and shoulder more responsibilities."

"Then...by the way, how about meeting with Li Ozi?"
