Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 102

It seems like a long, long time.

In front of his eyes, a blood-colored darkness appeared.

The skin is scorching hot, every inch is covered with invisible fire, not only the body, internal organs, bones... The terrible heat source is growing endlessly in the body, he "thumps" on his knees, unable to think, unable to Hearing or making any sound, he could only raise his neck and open his mouth in pain.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the mouth!

going to explode-

Qiu Min opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating like a beating.

"Huh, huh..."

He was panting heavily, his limbs and bones still seemed to be burning, large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, chin, and neck, and fell on the quilt, leaving wet marks on the soft fabric.

Another nightmare.

Still the same content.

Qiu Min has had this dream since childhood.That scene reappeared in Qiu Min's dream, although not too many times, but because the experience was too real and the content was too terrifying, every time he finished this dream, he would notice some new details.

For example, this time, before the unknown heat source erupted, Qiu Min heard a dragon whistling, no, to be precise, it was the whining of a dragon.

"Ow—"

That Long Xiao was extremely angry, but also sad and tactful, as if it came from a far away place, it was not really heard.

Before this, Qiu Min had never heard this dragon whistle.

The dream seemed to be in constant self-improvement.

The sad Long Xiao affected Qiu Min, adding a trace of sadness in his heart that he couldn't even describe.

The electronic clock beeped, indicating that it was getting late.

"Knock knock knock."

After knocking on the door, Leslie's voice came from outside the door: "Qiu Min! You'll be late if you don't get up again. We have to clock in and finish all the classes before eleven o'clock today."

Qiu Min pulled out all his thoughts from the dream, hurriedly jumped out of bed and opened the door: "Here we come!"

The door opened, revealing red-haired Leslie in high spirits.

He looked Qiu Min from top to bottom, and asked, "Are you taking a bath early in the morning?"

Qiu Min looked down and saw that his clothes were wet with sweat, as if he had taken a bath: "No! Wait for me, I'll be soon!"

After he finished speaking, he ran to the bathroom.

Leslie smiled at his panicked back, took a step inside, and waited for Qiu Min in a gentlemanly manner.

This is the second time Leslie has entered Qiumin's room.

Like all the assigned rooms, Qiu Min's room is also lackluster.A clean and simple interior environment, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a narrow wardrobe.Apart from a brochure on the table and a coat hanging from the back of a chair, there are no personal ornaments.

After reaching the age of 15, all children will leave the nursery and start a new life outside.Many people who came back from the outside said that apart from the main city covered by the energy field, everything is still empty.

If they want to stay in the main city, everyone has to earn points through study, which can be exchanged for basic residency rights.But points are not currency, and everything depends on money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so most young people work part-time and study part-time.

After the disaster, the population has dropped sharply, and the current human population is less than one-third of the stable period. The governing hall opened the gene bank and launched a breeding program to cultivate new humans that are no longer affected by the distortion. After decades, the initial results have finally been achieved. .

There are so many children raised in the nursery, and everyone may not have met each other. Qiumin and Leslie only met after working outside.

Now living in the mainland is a waste of time, a small number of people will pass the exam to continue their studies, get higher points to enter scientific research or educational institutions, and obtain permanent residency in the main city. Most people will go to the medical center after completing basic studies Get vaccinated, and then leave the main city to support the construction of surrounding cities such as Xilan and North.

Because he just woke up, Qiu Min's bed was a bit messy, Leslie cast his gaze there, and unexpectedly found a round doll on the bed.

This is a plush doll in the shape of a dragon egg, painted with golden dots as eyes, and has a pair of small wings and a small tail on the back, which looks very soft.

Such dolls are sold in many places in the main city. In addition to dragon eggs, there are other young dragons, models of adult dragons, dolls, etc., and so on.

It's not surprising that Qiumin has such a thing, and Leslie can imagine him sleeping with this "dragon egg".

Qiumin's birthday is coming soon—the day they were born from the petri dish was the birthday of these new humans. Leslie had been thinking about what gift to give to Qiumin, and finally had an inspiration.

Qiu Min packed himself up quickly, and the two of them went downstairs together, just in time for the ferry, which was overcrowded and could only squeeze together.

Most of them were surrounded by neighbors in the same building, all young people, chatting with each other after getting in the car.

Someone talked about the opening day of the Temple Museum today.

"I made an appointment for the visit at the first time, but unfortunately I couldn't get a seat." A boy named Wood said, "To be honest, it was a whole day, but there were only [-] places open each time. This arrangement is too unreasonable!"

The girl next to Wood said: "The guide will explain for three hours each time, and only lead fifty visitors. It is a whole-hearted customized experience."

Wood said: "That's too little. Giving an explanation to fifty people is still speaking, and giving an explanation to a hundred people is also speaking. Can't we let more audiences in?"

"Because that's the Temple Museum." Leslie interjected, "There are many precious historical materials preserved in the Temple, including everything about the successive Sons. It's a very sacred place."

"What's so sacred." Wood, a rebel in a small group, said disdainfully, "Haven't you already done science popularization? Those holy sons are not children of gods at all, they are just genetically modified. In essence, they are the same as We, too, were born in a petri dish."

When Leslie heard this, he suddenly put away the relaxed look on his face, turned around and said to Wood seriously: "We can't be compared with the Holy Son. This is an objective fact. Don't forget how the distortion disaster ended. If there is no Holy Son Zi Xuexian's self-dedication, using his energy field to affect all the people in the underground refuge, and to preserve this last pure land, then human beings may have been extinct long ago. Besides, besides Shengzi Xuexian, there are also those who are from the chaos The Sons, who have sacrificed continuously since the beginning of the day, are also great. Without them, human beings might not be able to live long ago. This is why they are holy."

Leslie usually doesn't talk much, but he was very picky about social relations when he was in the nursery, and he always looked proud. This is the first time everyone has heard him talk so much.

The atmosphere was tense for a while.

Qiu Min, who was huddled next to Leslie, also turned around.

Leslie is tall and burly, while Qiu Min is of oriental descent and is relatively slender.Qiu Min looks thin, and he works extremely hard in both study and work. Under his seemingly weak appearance, he is actually very resilient. This is probably the reason why many people like him.

Qiu Min has a pair of beautiful black and white eyes, and his tone is soft: "Actually, apart from everything about the Holy Son, there is also a lot of knowledge about silver dragons and dragon clans in the temple museum. You can almost know everything about the end of the disaster and even before the chaos. The ins and outs, the birth and demise of silver dragons, their rebirth, and their relationship with humans... can all be seen in the Temple Museum, if you are interested, you can make an appointment next time."

Wood was just trying to show character, not really being disrespectful to history or the temple.

Qiu Min gave the steps, and Wood opened his mouth, and said along with him: "There are, there are those, then I will make an appointment to try next time."

Qiu Min smiled, revealing the dimples on his lips.

Leslie's heart skipped a beat.

The girl asked Qiumin: "Qiumin, I heard that you are very interested in dragons, why didn't you go to the open day?"

"I grabbed a spot, and Leslie also grabbed one." Qiu Min said to her, "We are going to finish the class in the morning, spend half an hour for lunch, and then immediately leave for the Temple Museum to participate in the third session Explain, so that you can catch up with work time."

"Wow, you guys are so lucky." The girl said enviously, "Both of you got it!"

Qiu Min nodded: "Well! I feel very lucky too!"

Leslie just smiled.

He was not lucky.In order to accompany Qiumin to the museum, he quietly spent all the points that can be exchanged for residence rights in the second half of the year and a classmate in exchange for visiting qualifications. In the next few months, he will have to study overtime at night to exchange for points, otherwise he will be kicked out The main city.

Qiu Min likes dragons very much, especially the dragons with silver scales and golden eyes, which are called sub-demons.

When the catastrophe came, many people who inhabited the mainland were either forced or voluntarily turned into red dragons, and they retained a very high self-will. A lot of efforts were made to restore the homeland, and at that time, this planet finally opened a new chapter of harmonious coexistence of humans and dragons.

Later, the high-frequency transmitters deployed in the sea area around the mainland were evacuated. Some dragons chose to live in Longyu, and some dragons chose to stay in the mainland. Nowadays, dragons can be seen everywhere in cities such as Xilan and Ancheng.

After the mass production of newer water craft in the past few years, the path for humans to go to Longyu has also been opened.There is a growing human base-it is gradually evolving into a sustainable new city, and there is also an authoritative aberration research institute.The coverage of the bio-energy field is limited. Outside the main city, in Longyu, there are still some people who are suffering from distortion. The Institute of Distortion has never given up on them. It is said that the progress is gratifying.

The shuttle bus soon arrived at the main city college, and the people who got off the bus scattered and went to different classrooms.

The courses chosen by Qiu Min and Leslie highly overlap, so they became good friends and were inseparable.In order to punch in the task as soon as possible this day, they split up and went to the only different class.

When we met again, Leslie was a little excited: "Qiu Min, do you know who is giving us a shooting lesson today?!"

The two were walking in the bright corridor, Qiu Min rarely saw Leslie so happy, and asked, "Who is it?"

Leslie: "It's Mr. Linton!"

Qiu Min showed a confused look.

Leslie hastened to make it clearer: "Aino Linton! On the day the holy son Xuexian rode a dragon into the city for the first time, the man who shot an arrow through the high-frequency transmitter in the soldier's hand! He was born on Longyu, Longyu grew up, and the current Distortion Research Institute is where he grew up, and he is also Shengzi Xuexian's best friend!"

Of course Qiumin knew about Aino Linton. Although this legendary figure could not speak, he had made many contributions in obscurity. In addition to becoming famous at that time, he was also the leader of the civilian squad during the great clean-up work after the disaster. , wandering in the habitat continent, helping to clean up many aberrations and the remnants of "bright eyes".

Hearing his appearance, Qiu Min was also a little excited: "Really? How is Mr. Linton?"

"He's in great shape!" Leslie said. "His technique is extremely precise and proficient, and our teachers usually give in. It's hard to imagine that Mr. Linton is in his 60s, and he can still have such a strong physique and strength." Technology is indeed a legend.”

Qiu Min also admired it from the bottom of his heart and nodded in agreement.

That turbulent era has passed, and those legendary figures are passing away or getting old.Those who crossed the vast Black Sea back then and returned from Longyu have gradually become part of history.

The newborn human beings have not witnessed the turbulent waves and bloody battles at that time, and have not heard the swan song uttered at the most tragic moment of human destiny. They live happily in the peaceful and hopeful present.

Qiu Min thought for no reason that someday in the future, this group of new humans would also perish in the long river of time, including himself.

But humans last forever.
