"Sure enough." Ruan Xian looked at the reading on the handheld radiometer and completely confirmed his judgment.

The more than ten plants of the quickly cultivated Phytophthora flickered one by one on the table, like some kind of weird neon sign. Tang Yibu was right next to the tree with the best growth, playing the reaction speed game of "can the fingers shrink fast enough". Hearing Ruan Xian's opening, he finally stopped torturing the Ming-killing grass and focused his attention back on Ruan Xian.

"Distance." Ruan Xian pulled the two rows of fresh rat corpses lined up in a cross with his hands. "If it is factors such as soil, temperature, humidity, etc., with the resources of Bliss, it cannot be simulated. The difference in concentration lies in the distance from the annihilation point."

"Radiation." Tang Yibu's eyes slipped from Ruan Xian's face.

His partner's mood swings were bigger than he expected.

Over time, instead of diminishing, that human trait has become more prominent. After peeling off the icy shell, Mr. Ruan was very easy to get angry and easy to laugh, just like now the other party was rubbing the corpse of the drug rat with grass, as if it was the most cherished thing in the world.

"That's right, radiation." Ruan Xian was in a good mood, so good that he didn't notice Tang Yibu's small movements. "I found organelles in its leaves that are similar to chloroplast variants, they are absorbing certain wavelengths of radiation, just like ordinary plants absorb light. Even in this room, the distance from the annihilation point will cause certain components Concentrations are different."

Like voice or another person's body temperature. After passing countless obstacles, they all fade with distance. These eccentric plants have a black sun that devours everything, waiting just ahead of them.

The Bliss is too far away from the annihilation point. The sagebrush growing here is like a fruit tree with insufficient light, and it is destined to not bear healthy fruits.

And most of the deadly space between the Bliss and the Annihilation Point belongs to the Stone Walker.

Fan Baiyan is undoubtedly a person who cherishes his life. Perhaps in order to prevent being attacked by Yu Le and Annihilation Point, he insisted on choosing the west side farther from Annihilation Point, but because of this, he lost the only chance to stably cultivate Ming and Eliminate Grass. Judging from the attitude of the walking stone, Yu Le didn't plan to breed these things at all, he let them grow, and at most sent someone to harvest a wave of grass stems.

The corpse of the rat under his hand quickly withered, and the bright green fruit on it was born. Ruan Xian removed his hand and turned his body to Tang Yibu.

It was like cutting a corner of the world with a scalpel, surrounded by all kinds of instruments and answers, the feeling of having life firmly in his hands came back, and he was finally able to breathe smoothly again.

"Fan Baiyan sent Jiang Lin and the others to the ruins of the hospital. Nine times out of ten, he wanted to add some fertilizer to the high-quality grass field. If it didn't happen to hit us, I think the people from the Bliss will arrive later and recover the boat and fruit together. "

"I want to talk more about dating." Tang Yibu's tone was far from ambiguous, "A date at the point of annihilation."

"Science is not magic, and annihilation points do not appear out of thin air."

Ruan Xian raised the corners of his mouth, and his gloves were still stained with the blood of the drug rat. This was the side he was extremely reluctant to show in front of others, but the android just looked at him, there was no fear or alertness in his eyes, only curiosity.

It felt so good that he was too lazy to put on a boring mask.

"Cut off the source of the firefly enough to cause chaos. I have two days to go back to the Zodiac, and until then we can make an interferometer that only targets the annihilation point. Just change the band of radiation it emits a little bit, and we can kill the grass. Synthetic psychedelic components have dropped sharply.”

"After the adjustment, the shuttle agent can still be produced normally, but the firefly can't." Tang Yibu raised his eyebrows, "Such an interferometer is not too small and must be close enough to the annihilation point to perform normal interferometric rewriting. Not to mention the complexity of the operation, how are you going to get it through?”

"You set off from here, I set off from the Walking Stone. We will meet at noon in three days." Ruan Xian took off his contaminated gloves, "With your ability, you can't leave here, don't look at me like that, You have to get things over there. No way, the situation doesn't allow it, I can't afford to drag such a behemoth around freely."

However, Tang Yibu did not respond.

As soon as the words came out, Ruan Xian realized the problem. In his plan, after making the interferometer, they need to be separated for more than a day.

Ruan Xian raised his hand and touched the earring on the earlobe. The half-day research was too fun, and Tang Yibu seemed too gentle and harmless. For a few seconds, he forgot the other's jailer's identity.

Tang Yibu was still standing motionless beside the bright grass, and the grass was flickering on its own. Ruan Xian suddenly hoped that the other party had a tail, or something else at least that way he could find out the signs of the other party's emotions.

But Tang Yibu just stared at him like that, just relying on his expression, he couldn't read what the other party was thinking at all.

"Free movement." Tang Yibu chewed the end of his words.

"Yes." Ruan Xian held his breath.

Tang Yibu suddenly turned around and pulled out two mice from the cage. One of them struggled, screaming in horror. The other had been attacked, dragging its bloody hind legs and front paws.

He skillfully injected the firefly extract, and then forcibly stuffed them with a lot of minotaur.

Ruan Xian frowned, he didn't think Tang Yibu planned to warn himself in such a roundabout way. So he kept quiet and watched the android push two mice into the glass jar.

The reddish tip of a healthy rat's nose gradually turned green, and the black and bright pea-eyes turned into a terrifying gleaming green. It rammed around violently, then went straight through the glass jar wall and into the rat cage, another bloody slaughter.

The injured mouse just lay still, its legs twitched, and finally stopped breathing, and green grass sprouts emerged from its nose and mouth.

"Another problem has also been solved." Tang Yibu said, turning the glass jar back. "It's simpler than I thought. This thing has the characteristics of a virus. Before killing the host, it will try to use them for its own benefit."

"If the host is healthy, it will induce them to rush back to the settlement to hunt the same kind. If the host is disabled and inconvenient to move, it will suck the host dry as soon as possible, saving other creatures from coming over to share." Ruan Xian was stunned for two seconds before he put the Thinking turned to the topic of Tang Yibu.

"Yes. If you know what's going on, you can decipher their attack." Tang Yibu picked up the knife and threw it. The knife pierced through the plastic rat cage, and the green rat that was biting at the same kind was pinned to the spot, and then grass buds quickly grew. "The moment they are attacking their companions, they should always be within reach."

Taking the sprouting mouse out of the cage, Tang Yibu held the knife in his hand and looked at Ruan Xian again.

"You are a real researcher. I originally thought that you are similar to the artificial intelligence of Pulan, but a single personality combined with countless knowledge. But the way of thinking can't fake the personality data you have been injected into, you should belong to a genuine scholar ."

After all, Tang Yibu gestured Ruan Xian's face with a blood-stained knife.

"But I don't know your face, it seems to be a separate thought. In your memory, who you are"

Ruan Xian looked at the tip of the knife that was pointing at him, and lowered his eyes.

"You have your secrets, and I have mine." He tried to keep his voice steady, "It's okay to tell you, but you have to take off this earring. It's a matter of trust, please understand."

After all, the name is the first step to everything, not to mention that there is a mastermind staring at it.

Tang Yibu rolled his Adam's apple and frowned slightly, as if thinking.

There was a silence gap of half a minute or so between them. The grass is flickering not far away, the injured mouse is screaming softly, and the air is filled with a faint smell of blood.

"I understand." The android finally put down the knife, "When we part, will you take care of the iron beads or I will take care of them?"

"I'll take care of it." Ruan Xian replied dryly.

A compromise, or a trial, or both. he thinks. On the positive side, though, the collar around his neck is a little looser.

"Actually, I don't really like promises." Tang Yibu wiped the blood from his hands. "At noon in three days, Annihilation Point. You'll be there on time, won't you?"

"I will." Ruan Xian answered seriously.

Ruan Xian really has no other ideas, it is better to say that he has no other ideas for the time being. As Tang Yibu said, they are very "easy to use" for each other. But they also know very well that trust does not work through "possibility".

Right now he doesn't want to lose him.

Two nights later.

Leaving Tang Yibu, Tie Zhuzi was a little sluggish. It nestled quietly under one of the boat's seats, pretending to be a soulless bowling ball. Ruan Xian drove the boat carefully, heading towards the ruins of the hospital under a starry sky.

Feng Jiang was still in a coma in the back seat. The days of imprisonment made him lose weight, and his clothes exuded a damp and sour smell. After a violent jolt, the young man finally woke up. He shook his head, trying to salvage a little sanity from the soothing effects.

"you"

"I didn't betray the Zodiac." Ruan Xian immediately spit out his prepared remarks, "Lie back, you are too weak now."

"Last time I and Li Li didn't see you two." Feng Jiang was very vigilant and didn't mean to buy it at all.

"My lover ate fireflies. I have no choice but to pretend to follow Fan Baiyan." Ruan Xian boasted that he would not lose to anyone in terms of disguising emotions. "Otherwise, why would I make excuses to bring you, a burden, you thought it would be easy to get you out?"

Feng Jiang babbled for a long time, but didn't hold back any rebuttal words.

"Shortly after you were locked up, Miss Duan was also locked up by Fan Baiyan." Ruan Xian turned his back on the steering wheel, recalling Tang Yibu's actions in sailing the boat. "She didn't see you once, but I don't think that was her intention."

Feng Jiang showed a momentary relaxed expression, but his body language still clearly said rejection.

"Tang Yibu and I are both young, and we can easily get into a good position on the Zodiac. If it wasn't for Yibu being deceived by that old man, I wouldn't be so tied up."

"Then you should take him away." Feng Jiang frowned and clasped his knees. "He's only going to sink deeper there."

"I don't blame Fan Baiyan, what are we going to leave, do you have an intuition?" Ruan Xian sneered, "How did everyone get thrown into the Bliss colony, you have some points."

"What did you tell Fan Baiyan?" Feng Jiang finally asked in a hoarse voice.

"I gave him a proposal." Ruan Xian turned a few knobs to speed up the boat. "I told him that I would get Tu Rui and deliver it to the door. If you don't believe me, you can tell Tu Rui this directly and let him be on guard."

Bliss number.

Tang Yibu rolled from one end of the soft bed to the other, and then rolled back with a sullen face. Tie Zhuzi was taken away by Ruan Xian, and the whole big room was empty.

Whether the decision to let go of his partner was correct, Tang Yibu couldn't give himself an accurate answer. There is no such thing as an absolutely perfect plan in this world, and he knows that, and is deeply unhappy about it.

The interferometer, which they spent two days assembling, is sitting in the room. In order to emphasize the rationality of this behavior, he even added the function of making soy milk ice cream to it.

It was easy to make Fan Baiyan happy. They only needed to submit a theoretical explanation of "how to increase the production of fireflies" by the way. Fan Baiyan claimed to have eight professional engineers, and they should be able to judge the authenticity of the report. It’s just that when the engineers finished their research and were ready to put them into practice, the firefly’s raw materials couldn’t contain much psychedelic ingredients.

Tang Yibu picked up the glass bowl, filled himself a full bowl of ice cream, and ate it by the spoonful by the edge of the bed.

This is his previous life, and he should be very accustomed to this behavior pattern. However, Tang Yibu walked around the room with the ice cream bowl in his arms, and a strong sense of doing nothing mixed into the sweetness of the ice cream.

A day and a half left, he thought.

Maybe wreak havoc ahead of time and find a date boat with high practicality.
