    Lighthouse in the sea fog⑥

    Fenier was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When Lu Rong came back, he first heard the sound of the Sky landing, then the sound of Lu Rong’s footsteps, mixed with the messy crawling sound of X01, gradually approaching, and finally the sound of the door opening.

    As soon as Lürong opened the door, he saw Finier sitting quietly in the darkness. The sunlight outside the house shone into the door the moment he opened the door and fell on Finier, as if giving the statue an eye. The stone came alive in an instant. He stood up and looked at Lürong, his golden beast eyes shining brightly.

    Lu Rong kicked the door shut, raised his hand, and smiled gently, “There are groupers tonight, and I happened to catch one.”

    Fenier looked at the fish that Lu Rong was holding. It was a big fish, but he could see that he was holding it easily. The cuffs were rolled up to his forearms to avoid getting wet, revealing a strong arm.

    “I’m going to cook, you can rest for a while.” Lu Rong changed his shoes and walked to the kitchen, and asked casually, “Is the rehabilitation training okay today? If you have any questions, ask Shen Dan to come down at any time.”

    Fenier shook his head, “Very good, but…” He paused, and Rürong also stopped and looked at him.

    Fenier blinked, raised his hand, walked towards Lu Rong, stretched his palm out in front of Lu Rong, “It’s for you.”

    Lu Rong was stunned for a rare moment. He turned around, hung the fish on X01, and carefully looked at the thing in Feinier’s hand. It seemed to be a necklace, but it was different from the ones he and Feinier bought that day.It was clear that Finier himself had reorganized it and added something different.

    The pendant of the necklace is a gorgeous looking white scale.

    These scales were very similar to those that Lu Rong had removed from the mechanical prosthetic body before, but not quite the same. They were round and shiny, like the bright moon.Lu Rong opened his mouth, and his thoughts were a little stuck. He rarely looked at his hands a little awkwardly.

    “Wait a minute.” He showed his wet and fishy hands to Finier, then turned around and went to the bathroom like a wind.The sound of rushing water soon sounded, and Lu Rong tried hard to wash his hands, feeling very full in his heart.

    X01 broke away from his mechanical shell and floated quietly behind him, “Oh, why is your heart rate so fast? Does it make you nervous that he gave you something?”

    Lu Rong did not answer. He washed his hands, wiped them clean, and after confirming that there was no smell on his hands, he banned X01.

    X01:?

    Feinier was still waiting for him in the living room. Lu Rong walked up to him and smiled, “Did you do it yourself?”

    Fenier did not answer directly, “This scale can make some creatures in the sea avoid you.”

    Lu Rong stayed in the submarine. In fact, this thing was of no use, but he always wanted to do something for Lu Rong, even a little more didn’t matter.

    Lu Rong took the necklace and looked at it carefully. The chain was made of very fine pearls, polished to be bright and round, but no matter how bright it was, it couldn’t compare to the scales hanging from the end.The scales had a neon-like brilliance, were almost translucent when facing the light, and were as warm as jade. Lurong even felt that the scales were alive, carrying Fenier’s body temperature.

    “These are your scales.” Lu Rong put on the necklace and looked at Feinier smiling unconsciously.

    Fenier nodded silently and seemed relieved when he saw the necklace falling on his neck.

    Lu Rong smiled, “If you’re worried, you can take the submarine with me.”

    Fenier looked up at him, with hazy emotions in his eyes, but more decisively. “The air pressure of the submarine will still be lower than the normal atmospheric pressure. I’m not sure whether my legs will have problems under the pressurized air pressure.” He paused, “Be safe…I…wait for you to come back.”

    Something touched Lu Rong’s heart, as if he had been lightly scratched. He felt a flash of attachment-like emotion from Fenier. Such an emotion made even stubborn stones seem to soften.

    Does Fenier not want to leave him?Lu Rong thought absentmindedly.My heart felt inflated and erratic.

    “I’ll pay attention.” Lu Rong smiled. His eyes fell on Feinier and he didn’t want to leave. Everything was quiet. The waves in the distance forgot to make a sound. Lu Rong slowly opened his arms and said, “Can I hug you?” After saying that, he paused, a little unsure whether Feinier would agree.

    Fenier looked at him solemnly, his face expressionless, but he leaned forward and threw himself into his arms without hesitation.Lu Rong felt as if he was hugging a heated stone. The stone seemed heartless, but it was because he was staring at it.

    Lu Rong’s heart settled.

    He was used to taking care of Feinier day and night during this period. Even though he knew that the other person was a complete adult, he still wanted to take him with him wherever he went, hoping that he would never leave him. Feinier seemed to be used to staying by his side, and did not even try to contact the outside world or leave.

    They are like two big trees whose bark was peeled off, and then time weaved a web to tie them together and grow again.Even if they are separated, they can continue to go back to the past and continue to flourish, but the companionship and getting along they have experienced, bit by bit, have imprinted and reorganized them. There are traces of each other on the branches, and they can never go back to the past no matter what.

    Lu Rong turned his head and gently pressed the tip of his nose against Fenier’s neck, very close to the glands. The faint breath of mint spread from the tip of his nose into his lungs, and there was a trace of uncontrollable sinking in his wakefulness.

    “Are you really not going down with me?” Lu Rong buried his head next to Fenier’s glands and asked again for no reason, his voice becoming a bit dull.

    Fenier was stunned and almost agreed, but he soon came to his senses and believed that some principled things could not be compromised, especially regarding Lurong’s safety. If he could recover to the point where he could protect Lurong, then of course he would go, but now he would probably still need Lurong to take care of him, and if an accident occurred, emergency treatment might be required, so there was no need.

    But he could never live up to Lu Rong’s expectations.

    Fenier thought about it carefully, “When you come back, we can carry out other ‘punishments’.”

    Feinier’s attitude was so serious that it took Lu Rong a moment to realize what Feinier was going to say. He took a breath and asked, “Do you know what you are going to say?”

    From Lurong’s perspective, he could see the corner of Finier’s mouth curved slightly, and Finier’s voice was very light, “I know.”

    Fenier was as calm as ever, almost indifferent, but he immediately sparked a fire in Lu Rong’s heart.

    “Okay,” he obeyed, “I’ll be back soon.” He promised.

    The sky was dim, only hazy scattered light could be seen from the sunrise over the sea, and the surroundings of the wooden house were still immersed in the dim night.

    Lürong was ready to set off, and Finier followed Lürong to the foot of the Sky. Lürong stood on the Sky, which was painted with cold colors by the night, looking down at Finier on the ground.

    “I’ll be back soon. You can go back and sleep for a while.” Lu Rong said with a smile.

    Lujong didn’t need to transmit information to Lutes this time. Eros was responsible for the response. Nina and Harris were responsible for taking over the star core on the shore. Fenier didn’t want to be exposed and chose to wait in the wooden house.He heard Lu Rong’s words and nodded, but did not leave.

    Lu Rong knew a little about his stubbornness and knew that he couldn’t persuade him to leave. He closed the door and walked to the operation hall. On the way, he looked through the window at Fenier who was staring at him outside. The two of them stared at each other through the broken glass, in silence, and as if the words were overflowing.

    When Lu Rong sat down at the operator’s seat, the real-time image outside the sky was also transmitted to him. Fenier stood there alone, illuminated by the rising sun into a dark silhouette.

    Involuntarily, Lu Rong picked up the communication in his hand. He pondered and said softly, “Feinier…”

    In the real-time surveillance, Fenier’s silhouette moved, raised his head, and looked in the direction of Lu Rong. Lu Rong looked at the surveillance camera and looked at Fenier, and then said slowly: “When I come back this time, let’s talk, okay?”

    Fenier nodded, his speechless expression showing a hazy light and shadow, as if he had no way of guessing the content of the conversation, and as if he knew everything.

    He watched the Sky leave, heading for the deep sea. The retreating tail flame was getting farther and farther away, but it remained clearly visible, like a lighthouse stuck in the sea fog.

    Shuiyuan star time, 4:23 am.

    The Sky hovered in the dark sea, and the icy wind was relentless, roaring with the dark waves. The ship’s hull swayed with the waves. Lu Rong was woken up by the shaking. He opened his eyes and noticed that something was wrong.

    There was silence inside the aircraft. He looked out along the window. The sound of rain outside was completely blocked by the good sound insulation. However, the rain on the glass was dense and dense, forming a river and rushing out a mosaic-like layer. The red light of the system reflected on the side of the glass, indicating a storm pressure warning.

    Lu Rong stood up and walked to the operation hall, looking further away through the external monitor. The heavy night was wrapped in dense clouds and covered the moon. Because there was no light, the sea surface was pitch black late at night, and even the waves were hidden in the darkness. It was as if there was an invisible hand shaking the aircraft instead of the waves.

    The sound of rain was mixed with the wind and waves. The Sky was not a professional amphibious aircraft and could only float on the water. Its stability was much worse than that of ordinary dual-purpose aircraft. The waves were getting bigger and bigger, and the Sky had a tendency to topple over. Fortunately, Lu Rong had already turned on the self-gravity mode in advance, and the things in the aircraft were not messy. However, he immediately lifted the Sky into the air and hovered to avoid the vibrations from the waves.

    X01 monitored the weather changes in a circle, “The weather forecast in the morning was not like this. This weather change seems to have only appeared in the past two hours, which is too unfortunate. It looks like it will get bigger, so we have to be careful.”

    The climate on the sea surface is like this, ever-changing, indicating that when it rains, there is likely to be a turbulent storm following.

    Lu Rong checked the monitoring screen of the Sky. He saw that the underwater automatic blasting device had been partially activated. The blasting progress was 50%, and about half of it was gradually detonating.

    According to predictions, the boulders should have been partially cracked. Many large stones would fall off with the sea currents and slowly fall into the depths of the trench. Some smaller ones would be carried along with the sea currents and gradually float away.

    Lu Rong chose to wait and continued repairs inside the ship. About half an hour later, the wind and waves on the water surface became stronger and stronger, and the blasting progress reached 60%.

    According to the normal speed, the explosion will be completed within 1 cosmic standard hour. At about 6 a.m., Lu Rong will be able to go into the water to retrieve the batch of star cores.

    At 5:52 in the morning, a storm swept across the sea. Rainwater washed over the Sky like a waterfall. The hull was almost covered by water. Lu Rong saw a ferocious lightning falling on the dark sea in the distance. In the background of the lightning, a huge dragon sucked water and stood between the sea and the sky. At the same time, an alarm sounded on the Sky –

    “Warning! The extreme weather continues to worsen! Please choose whether to plan an evacuation route——”

    Lu Rong turned off the alarm without thinking.
