Chapter 142

When the night came, a lot of bonfires were lit on the observation platform of Paheochi. They can not only help people in the motorcade resist the cold brought by the temperature difference at night, but also bring a sense of security to everyone,

After dinner, most of the people, except the soldiers on duty, had nothing to do. They sat around the fire in twos and threes and chatted. In the afternoon, the sky had cleared up, and the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, finally revealing the bright blue sky.

The stars appear particularly bright in the deep night sky because there is no light pollution. The moon does not know where it went. Only a gauze towel decorated with jewel like stars can be seen in the sky, which is the Milky Way.

"It's beautiful. This is the first time I've seen the Milky Way so clearly." Kim leaned against the railing of the observatory and looked up at the starry sky. "In Miami, it's hard to see one or two stars."

"I never thought the night sky could be so beautiful," Hill said with emotion. "If only the world would stop at this moment."

The cool wind is blowing the girls' long hair, and their beautiful shadows are particularly beautiful in the light of the stars. Near the campfire, Dr. Martin was staring at the laptop on her lap. Her fingers kept flying on the keyboard. Lines of instructions and code were input, and the screen was constantly changing.

"Martin, such a beautiful night scene can't attract you. I really can't think of anything else in your life that can attract your attention." Dr. Mario drank coffee and took his eyes back from the night sky. He looked at Martin in his busy life, shook his head and said, "Don't treat yourself badly. You are still young. You should know how to properly pull yourself out of your work and take a look at the beautiful scenery around you."

"Don't be like me," Dr. Mario said meaningfully after another sip of coffee.

"Huh?" Martin finally raised his head from the screen. "What?"

"You are too busy," Dr. Mario pointed to the jade belt in the sky. "Don't miss the Milky Way. You can never see it in a city."

"Ha ha, you know I'm not a person who knows how to appreciate the scenery." Martin took his glasses off his nose and rubbed his eyes. "The starry sky is really beautiful, but our future is still worrying."

"Never be pessimistic. Human beings have experienced innumerable hardships in the long river of history, which has brought them to the top of the food chain step by step," Dr. Mario said. "This is because there is an important factor in our genes, that is, subjective initiative."

"We are not without the possibility of overturning," Mario smiled. "The worst outcome is nothing more than the demise of mankind. But as long as we don't give up and fight for something for survival, the outcome will always be better than the worst outcome."

"All countries are still willing to share the poor common information and data," Martin said calmly. She glanced at the screen and continued to tap on the keyboard

"There is nothing we can do about political affairs, so we don't need to worry about it," Dr. Mario said. "Our job is to engage in scientific research."

"Mario, I think you should know better than I do that if this force cannot be united all the time and all countries continue to be conservative, it is difficult to be optimistic about the outcome of human civilization." Martin's eyes twinkled. She was a little excited just now. "Very few people with vision and ability are already in action."

"Perhaps with the further collapse of the situation, politicians can polish their eyes when they are blinded by power. This is a disaster for all mankind and requires everyone to work together." Mario said, "When we get to a safe and stable place, I will appeal to Washington to remind them to face up to this problem."

"Selena seems to be in love," Dr. Martin suddenly changed the topic. Her eyes fell on the glass window on the second floor of the observation tower. Behind the window, a girl in the research group was leaning against the cowboy.

"Oh? Hehe." Dr. Mario smiled. "It's good to be young. But Martin, are you going to stay single all the time?"

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"This is really a sharp question, Mario," Martin laughed. "I don't want to be alone, but I can't meet a man who can control me."

"In matters of emotion, we should follow the fate." Martin added, "It is better to be short than excessive."

Thompson felt the temperature of the beautiful woman who nestled beside him. He was both happy and excited. It was a happy thing to be liked by a beautiful girl. Although Thompson's love for Hill is more than that of the latecomer Selena, Hill has always shown an ambivalent attitude, which made Thompson very uncertain. Gradually, he lost his motivation to pursue her and also eliminated his hostility to Jason.

Thinking of the bold idea that came to his mind when he raised his gun and shot in the shooting training room of the base, Thompson smiled and shook his head, leaving this episode behind and letting the cool wind outside the window take it away.

"Never point the gun at your own person," Thompson told himself in his heart. "Even if he is your rival in love."

"What are you laughing at?" Selena's eyes fell on Thompson's face and asked curiously.

"You are so beautiful, Selena." Thompson held the beautiful woman beside him in his arms. "I am happy that I can get your favor."

"Really?" Selena giggled. She was very happy when she heard that the man she wanted praised her. This simple girl usually spends most of her time in the laboratory and in front of the computer. With almost no love experience, she has no resistance to such sweet talk.

"If you have been to my hometown, you will know that the Milky Way can be seen almost every sunny night there." Thompson began to render the scenery of his hometown to Selena again. "On the night of the farm, I like to lie on the roof of the warehouse, listen to the insects, and look up at the vast starry sky."

"It's a different world than a city made of steel and concrete," Thompson gestured, pointing to the marshes and dense forests outside the window. "Just like those places, they are full of life everywhere."

"There may be eggs secretly laid by hens hidden in the haystack, and the river is full of plump perch," Thompson continued to tell the story of her hometown. Selena's eyes in her arms were shining with hope, and the cowboy's hometown life touched her, making her suddenly unlimited yearning, "There are many grass mice around the farm. They breed very fast. These grass mice once gave us a headache, but later we introduced wolves from Europe, which is also to maintain the ecological balance there. I have seen pythons in the wild. When I was a child, I was not harmed by my father's protection."

"Are you afraid of these creatures?" Selena asked, "I've only seen snakes, which always make me shudder."

"Ha ha, Texas cowboys are not afraid," Thompson smiled proudly. "I'm a man who killed crocodiles. How can I be afraid of animals smaller than them? Besides, snakes have no feet compared with crocodiles."

The cool wind brought Thompson's laughter down from the second floor of the observation tower, and it floated into the ears of Hill and King. Hill looked up and then took back his eyes.

"See Jason?" Hill asked. The cowboy's laughter and the beautiful shadow beside him made Hill lose the mood of appreciating the night sky. She suddenly hoped that Jason could accompany her and help her fill some vacancies in her mind.

"It seems that the major is very busy. Before, he only saw him come and greet Dr. Mario and they left." Jin Chao looked around and did not find Jason's shadow.

"Alas," Hill sighed, feeling a little lost. Although her relationship with Jason has been seen by many people, everyone is just guessing, and the two parties did not disclose it to the public.

At this time, Hill felt very aggrieved like a girl who had made efforts but failed to gain recognition. "Let's go around, Kim."

"Well," Kim smoothed her hair, which had been disturbed by the wind. She took Hill's hand. "Walking around just helps digestion."

On the parking lot outside the plank road, three trucks were parked neatly, and several soldiers were busy under Jason's leadership. Some materials were moved out of the carriage. They were tents, sleeping bags and blankets. At the edge of the dense forest outside the parking lot, many trees have been cut down. The fuel of the campfire mainly depends on local materials.

At the entrance of the plank road, the soldiers assigned to guard were talking in a low voice. In the night, several burning cigarette butts were very eye-catching. From time to time, the breeze brought gentle laughter. If you listen carefully, you will find that the soldiers on duty were discussing which female star was more beautiful.

"Why don't you say that Mouldy Mouldy wants to be my boyfriend?" A soldier said with a smile. He took a sip of his cigarette, and the bright red spot at the end of the cigarette became more and more eye-catching. "I don't mind her writing me into her songs in the future."

"Come on, Dave," said another voice, "I still want to drink Scarlett Johnson's bath water. People don't like me either."

"Ha ha ha, Woody, your taste is as strong as Durant's." Dave patted Woody on the shoulder, "Dude, if you really get Scarlett's bath water one day, remember to share a cup with me."

Jason wiped the sweat from his face. The chatter and laughter from the sentry and the flickering light on the cigarette butt made him frown slightly. Jason looked around. There was only the sound of insects in the dark dense forest. It was dark all around, and he swallowed back what he wanted to tell the soldiers on duty.

"We need two searchlights here," Jason said to the soldiers beside the truck.

"Power generation opportunities consume a lot of gasoline, Major," Stephen suggested. "Why not build a few fires? The following distance cannot be accurately calculated at present, so it is better to save fuel."

"You're right, Sergeant," Jason nodded. "Come on, let's send them the blankets and tents first."
