That night, Persephone naturally occupied the master's bedroom, while Su hugged Barrett and slept in his old position at the entrance of the base.
Persephone didn't express any objection to the place he chose, and she didn't seem to be worried about him escaping during the night.
Su didn't think that much.
In terms of tracking alone, this scale was simply not enough for a safe distance.
Moreover, every minute and every second he spent with Persephone would make him consume almost more energy than when fighting. , coupled with the effect of that glass of strong wine, Su had become drowsy and fell asleep quickly.
This time, Su's alertness became surprisingly low, as if he was surrounded by warm darkness, and he felt more relaxed than ever before, neither dreaming nor waking up.
It wasn't until the rumbling roar of the machine reached his ears that he woke up from his deep sleep, but his consciousness was still greedy for the comfort just now and refused to wake up.
Through the crack of the base gate, you can see that it is already bright outside, and it is about a quarter past nine.
Did he actually sleep for 12 hours?
Su suddenly woke up The moment his eyes opened, Su's body suddenly froze, and then slowly relaxed.
At some point, Barrett was moved from his arms to his side.
The hard and cold honeycomb alloy steel plate beneath him had a soft and warm quilt, and he was also covered with a thin blanket.
There was also a pillow placed behind his neck.
In an unfamiliar environment, Su's first instinct should be to immediately enter a fighting state, but his greed for this warm and fragrant environment prevented him from reacting immediately.
"Wake up?"
Persephone walked out from the corner of the passage.
Today she put on a light blue shirt on her upper body, a pair of jeans on her lower body, and a pair of lightweight multi-purpose sneakers on her feet.
Her gray hair was simply tied into a ponytail, making her look very clean and sporty.
The only thing that is the same as yesterday is the black-framed glasses and the beautiful eyes that can change in an instant.
The canvas bag suddenly popped into Su's mind, and she automatically calculated the size of her clothes, shoes and socks and the space they would occupy after being folded.
She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by this reflexive reaction.
Persephone stood with a smile on her face, a plate of steaming food in her hand, a wrench stuck in her waist, and the black pencil now turned into a hairpin tool.
Perhaps jeans could show off the lines of those long legs better than a pencil skirt.
Su felt that Persephone was more approachable today, and the temptation hidden under her dignified appearance was even stronger.
Su lifted the quilt and was about to sit up when she said "Don't get up", then sat down directly next to Su, held up the plate of food with both hands, then stared into his eyes eagerly and said, "Breakfast " What was on the plate was actually synthetic nutrients produced at the base, but after passing through Persephone's hands, it became fragrant.
According to Su's habitual thinking, after the synthetic nutrients are cooked, the nutritional content must be partially destroyed, which is essentially a waste.
But looking at the plate of food in front of her, Su's emotions began to challenge her reason, and she felt that this was actually pretty good.
"What about you?"
Su instantly calculated the weight of the nutrients on the plate and realized that there should only be so many nutrients left in the base.
Sure enough, she smiled and said: "I only found these.
You are a man and you have to fight, so you go first."
This is a completely wild answer.
In the wilderness where survival is paramount, the distribution order of limited food and water has always been adult men, children, women, and finally the elderly.
Su almost had the illusion that she had become a typical wilderness woman, bidding farewell to a man who was about to go hunting.
Su's reason immediately expelled this ridiculous idea.
Not to mention anything else, just look at how easily she took Su's pistol that day, and last night when she took off his gun and bullets without alerting Su at all, and even covered him with a quilt, you can understand this mystery.
And what a powerful character a beautiful woman must be, at least not comparable to the Dark Dragonriders he had ever encountered.
Su picked up the table knife and divided the food on the plate into two halves, keeping one small half for himself and the other half for Persephone.
"I've had enough of these."
Su said as she met her shining eyes.
He wasn't lying.
This little thing was enough to last him two or three days, if there was no fierce battle.
Of course, maybe that half would be too much for Persephone.
In front of this woman, Su was not confident even in his ability to absorb nutrients and water.
There are two table spoons on the tray.

What surprised Su was that Persephone didn't have any objection to his distribution, but directly picked up a spoon and started eating from the tray in his hand.
Nutrients are nutrients, and no matter how you process them, you can't escape the basic taste of nutrients.
Although this was a delicacy that Su rarely tasted, he believed that Persephone, who was so skilled in cooking, would definitely not like this dish.
But she silently ate most of the plate of nutrients.
Sue never ate quickly, silently, wasted a morsel of food, or followed formalities.
But eating on the same plate as Persephone always made his attention drift away from the food itself and onto her.
Those gray hair pinned by pencils were surprisingly naughty, always flicking out at the slightest movement of hers and brushing against his face.
Another time the two men even bumped their heads together.
This was a completely inconspicuous little accident, but it was of great significance because Su should have been able to avoid it completely, but his reaction was delayed because his attention was elsewhere.
After breakfast, the atmosphere between the two seemed to have changed slightly.
Persephone collected the plates and cutlery and went to the living area upstairs to clean them.
Su picked up the pillows and quilts scattered on the floor and followed her upstairs.
These are the throw pillows in the upstairs bedroom and are of good quality and still usable after all these years.
After tidying up the living area on the second floor, Persephone and Su went down to the underground floor.
Here, the machine shell of the water circulation main processing system has been opened, and some parts are scattered on the ground.
Inside the machine, the central processing chip has been exposed.
Half done.
It seemed that she had been working for quite some time before making breakfast.
There is a file board on the floor with two pieces of white paper sandwiched on it, with pencil sketches of several parts on the paper.
"Here, help me."
Persephone rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and pulled the tool rack placed by the wall.
Su played the role of an assistant beside her, handing over tools and moving parts, and listened as she explained the principles and problems of the water circulation system.
The core component of the central water circulation treatment system is the processing chip.
Fortunately, this chip is still intact.
Due to being idle for too long, several gear shaft parts in the system, especially the elbow parts of some pipes, were seriously rusted and damaged, causing the entire system to paralyze.
Before breakfast, Persephone had already inspected the system and found out the parts and pipes that needed to be replaced.
She also started the factory in the base, and the casting module is smelting alloys according to the formula she gave.
Within breakfast time, the required alloy had been smelted.
Now on the central control computer of the base, Persephone already had the same authority as Su, and the metal ring was also worn on the middle finger of her right hand.
Last night, after drinking, Persephone was like a little girl who saw her beloved toy, pestering Su for permission to the base.
Su thought for a while, then took off the ring on his left hand and handed it to Persephone's hand.
At that time, Su noticed something strange in her expression, but just like her other expressions, Su didn't know whether it was true or false, or what the meaning was, so he didn't think about it deeply at all.
Mechanics is a subject that can be extremely profound and broad, especially when it comes to electronics and artificial intelligence technology.
Just by listening to Persephone's explanation, it was certainly impossible for Su to master this knowledge that might require more than ten years of study.
However, her explanation was in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, very detailed and patient, and she explained almost every key point in place.
Su still felt that she benefited greatly.
Inadvertently, Persephone revealed her profound side.
Just two people trying to repair such a massive system is a daunting task.
Even with Persephone's omnipotence, it had already taken a whole day, and the main time was spent on making spare parts.
"Why don't you come back with me?"
Persephone seemed to have asked unintentionally as she was concentrating on processing parts in front of the automatic multi-function lathe.
Su stood nearby, sometimes looking at the drawing board in his hand, sometimes looking at the rotating parts on the lathe.
Almost by sight alone, he can tell whether the machining error of a part is too large.
Hearing Persephone's question, Su did not respond with a cookie-cutter answer.
Instead, he sighed and said, "I killed your people, and I don't want to be a test subject."

Persephone threw a piece of processed pipe on the ground, filled it with a new piece of raw material, and said without raising her head: "The people you killed are in some trouble, but it's not impossible to solve.
If I can still I promise you won’t be a guinea pig, are you willing to go back with me?”
After a long day of intense work, beads of sweat began to form on Persephone's temples.
Men who work hard are attractive, and women who work hard are equally attractive.
Looking at Persephone who was busy, Su Ye replied seriously: "I won't go.
In the eyes of the Dark Dragon Rider, no one in the wilderness can be considered a human being.
And I belong to the wilderness."
Persephone finished processing the last part, stood up straight, smoothed her slightly messy gray hair, and said, "The man who died under your hands was named Laiknar.
Do you think I am the same as him?"
Su wanted to say that I still can't see through you, but he didn't say that.
Instead, he carefully recalled all the details after meeting Persephone, then shook his head and said, "It's different."
"This is it."
Persephone picked up a bunch of processed parts and put them in Su's arms.
She picked up the rest of the parts and walked upstairs.
As she walked, she said, "The Dark Dragonrider is actually It’s a very loose organization, and the direction it takes depends on the people in the organization.
If you think we’re doing something wrong, you can change it through your own efforts.”
Su was silent for a few seconds before saying: "After a loaded train starts moving, it is difficult to change the track.
I am just a small person and there is no way to stop the already moving train."
"There is no way to stop the train."
Persephone stopped and looked at Su: "But what I saw was that you hit the train head-on."
Su Bise's eyes were calm and calm, and she smiled without avoiding her gaze or answering.
However, Persephone looked at him without relaxing, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.
Su had no choice but to say: "I want to live.
But when there is no choice, I am not afraid of death."
"Is there really no choice?"
Persephone asked again.
Su didn't answer this question, and she didn't necessarily know.
With the necessary parts, more than half of the repair work is completed, and then it is just a matter of putting the parts back together.
Half an hour later, Persephone put the outer shell of the central water circulation system back together.
The hundreds of kilograms of outer shell were as light as weight in her hands.
Persephone turned on the power switch with her oily hands.
The roar of the machine instantly filled the space.
Groundwater was continuously pumped up and entered the central water circulation and disposal system.
After a few minutes, Persephone opened the valve of the water outlet, and with a loud bang, a strong column of clear water spurted out.
Persephone cheered, and Su couldn't help but smile and took a full cupful of water.
The water is clear and free of impurities.
Although there is inevitably a slight amount of radiation, it at least meets the fourth-level water standard.
And looking at the amount of water, the ability to treat completely contaminated water in one day may far exceed the rated capacity of 10 tons, and the ability to treat recycled water will be ten times the amount of contaminated water.
With water, there is life.
The two of them looked at the water outlet in trance and didn't speak for a long time.
Su could feel that in that moment, she was genuinely happy.
With enough water, Persephone no longer asked for a luxurious bath, but simply washed her hands and face, then pulled Su out of n958 and climbed to the top of the mountain.
It was already late at night, and the sky was filled with persistent radiation clouds, which were quickly driven away by the wind.
The night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything.
On the distant ground, the outlines of several broken elevated roads were vaguely visible, like the skeletons of dead giant beasts.

Following Persephone's greeting, Su sat side by side with her on the top of the mountain, looking into the vast darkness.
She suddenly sighed quietly and asked: "Tell me, what is the status of women in this era?"
Su thought for a while and said truthfully: "As I can see, most of the time, women are men's appendages.
If there are no other skills and no men to rely on, they have to use their own bodies.
They are exchanged for food and water.
They can be considered part of the property like guns and ammunition.
If their men are killed, they will change owners.
In addition, they are vehicles for reproduction.”
"It's quite straightforward."
She smiled sarcastically, then took a long breath and said, "You are right.
This is the reality of this era, and it is also something that everyone takes for granted, whether it is Men or women.
In fact, I am the same.
My strength in the Dark Dragon Riders relies on my own strength and the strength of my family.
In the past few years, I have been fighting, and fighting.
All wins.
But this doesn't change the fact that I am a woman, a woman without a protector.
If a woman has no protector, then the men around her will become greedy wolves, waiting for the day when she is unable to fall.
After tearing her into pieces, I will continue to fight, and there will always be a time when I am injured or even lose my strength forever.
At that time, it will be the end of me."
"In the history of the Black Dragonriders, there have been many brilliant women.
Stephanie, Bloody Mary, and Jimmy Li were all feared names.
However, when they were unfortunately injured in countless battles and lost their lives, After gaining strong fighting power, they became the playthings of men without a protector.
Due to their former strength and background, almost all of them had the ability.
No man who gets involved with them will miss this opportunity.
After all, it is much more exciting to play with a woman of status.
Maybe one day in the future, I will end up like them.
Unlike them, I have the support of my family.
I won’t be completely reduced to a plaything.
However, because I have a family, the people who touch me will be the big shots in the family and people who do business with the family.”
Su's heart tightened quietly, he thought of countless women he had met and seen, and also thought of Li.
As for Persephone, her beauty could turn all the males around her into evil wolves.
There was silence for a moment on the top of the mountain, and Persephone suddenly said something earth-shattering: "Su, are you willing to join the Dark Dragonriders and protect me from now on?"
She didn't even look at Su, but hugged her knees and sat in the night wind, looking into the distance.
For a moment, Su thought of her stunning dignity when they first met, her charming allure after taking a bath, her eagerness and innocence when she served breakfast, her seriousness and rigor at work, and her silence and distance now.
For a while, she couldn't figure out which one was the most talented.
She is the real Persephone.
Perhaps, these many faces are all of Persephone.
For two days, she was showing everything about herself to him.
For such a beautiful woman who was outstanding in every aspect, if she asked herself to be her protector just to trick her into joining the Dark Dragon Riders, then the price would be too high.
This is a complete waste of money.
Su was also looking into the distance.
He took a deep breath and said, "Dark Dragonrider is not suitable for me, I'm sorry."
The silence continued.
After a long time, Persephone asked, "Su, is there anyone you want to protect?"
Su said calmly: "Yes.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
However, maybe it's not what you think."
Persephone took out the pencil that pinned her hair, and her long dark gray hair fell down like a waterfall.
Su's heart beat violently several times.
Viewed from the side, except for the occasional flicker of silver light, the hanging gray hair was almost exactly the same as that of the little girl back then.
Persephone was a member of the Dark Dragon Riders, and Lanaxis used the Dark Dragon Riders as her bodyguard back then.
Su didn't know the identity of Lanaxis who took the little girl away.
He only knew that he was related to the Dark Dragonrider.
Judging from her unimaginable luxury and pomp that day, perhaps her status was still higher than Persephone's.
Maybe, Persephone knew about the girl's existence.
"I have the last trump card, but I want you to come with me willingly, but I don't want to use it."
That night, Persephone's words quietly emerged from Su's heart.
Recalling Persephone's emotion just now, Su suddenly had an idea, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be that something happened to Lanaxis?
If she fell, what about the girl?
Thinking about it, she was too beautiful back then.
The girl, and the fate that might be connected with this appearance, a fierce flame gradually rose in Su's heart.
Sensing Su's slight change, Persephone seemed to sigh, and in the darkness, she said calmly: "I think you have heard Lanaxis's name before, and there is a girl beside her.
She has hair similar to mine.
I think this girl is the one you want to protect.”
Su remained silent, neither answering nor denying.
It seems that Persephone does know about her past experience with the girl, or this can explain part of the reason why she looks at her differently.
Combined with what she just said about the fate and status of women, then, what is she hinting at?
In the darkness that seemed to never fade away, Persephone's cold, arrogant, and penetrating voice kept coming: "You still want to protect her.
But now you can't even defeat a low-level dragon knight. , what can you use to protect her?
What can you do when the day of misfortune strikes?
With your current way of survival, even if you are given another five or ten years, how many levels of ability can you develop to level 5 or level 6?
With such ability, you can't do anything.
The arrival of misfortune is inevitable and not accidental. , In the Blood Parliament, the Spider Queen is not the only master."
Through the darkness, Su could see Persephone's gray hair flying, just like the uncertain fate of people in this turbulent era.
"Joining the Dark Dragonriders will make me stronger," Su asked.
"In the Dark Dragonriders, the only thing that can restrict abilities is talent.
If you have unrivaled power, then you can do whatever you want."
Persephone's answer gave the two answers that Su wanted to know the most.
Persephone revealed her trump card, while Su had no cards to play from the beginning.
Su said calmly: "Then, I will join the Dark Dragonriders."
Persephone raised her hand to roll up her gray hair, still holding it with the pencil, and replied calmly: "I gave you the opportunity to enhance your abilities, and gave you the hope of protecting the people you want to protect.
And in order to let you If you join the Dark Dragonriders, I need to make the entire Fabregas family an enemy, because It was you who killed Laikona.
I also need to prove to the council that your own value exceeds the value of the invader.
Before you can prove this yourself, I must mortgage the property of equal value to the council.
After paying so much, I need to pay back.”
Su knew that what she said was the truth, even if it was a transaction, no matter what was behind the scenes, just what was on the table, he already got too much.
"What do you want?"
Sue asked.
Persephone turned her head and looked at him, her gray eyes flashing with green light.
It seemed that her eyes were somewhat similar to Su's, but Su's eyes were mainly blue.

Persephone made a pistol gesture with her left hand, pointing the gun at Su: "Be my man."
Su was stunned.
He has the basic ability to be lucky, but the conditions in front of him are really ridiculously good.
Su believed that even if he raised his basic luck to the eighth or ninth level, it would be impossible for such a good thing to happen if he waited for hundreds of years.
This is not a matter of probability, but simply impossible.
Sue waited for her next step.
Persephone continued: "Of course, you are not qualified to be my man now, and you are not qualified even if you are seven or eight times stronger.
And after joining the Dark Dragonriders, if others know about it, you will With your current ability, you will die inexplicably within a few days.
After you join the Dark Dragon Riders, you will get nothing else from me except some basic and necessary help.
You need to face Akari and He by yourself.
The enemy behind the scenes, and then becomes stronger until he is strong enough to be my man."
"If one day you have this qualification, I will accept you.
If you are strong enough to suppress me, I will make you my protector.
If you still fail to meet my requirements, I will choose someone else to replace you.
Your position, but you are still mine.
I will not stop you from protecting her.
If it is really necessary, you can choose to die in battle, but when you die in battle, you must always remember that you, It's my person" Hearing Parselene's strong declaration, Su just smiled.
Her statement is straightforward, pointed, naked, and unvarnished, and yet, this is reality.
The conditions were very good.
Although this was not what Su wanted at all, he had no choice, just like seven years ago.
"Deal."
Su's words were always concise.
Persephone smiled softly and said, "If you had joined the Dark Dragonriders when I first invited you, you wouldn't have had the following conditions.
However, you let me use my trump card, so this It became a transaction.”
Su has always been a trustworthy person in transactions.
Ever since Persephone appeared, almost everything that happened had subverted Su's common sense.
He is not naive.
There must be more insider information hidden behind this transaction, but he is not qualified to know it yet.
Scenes of what happened in the past two days flowed through his mind, and Su suddenly remembered that when she mentioned holding the trump card, she also mentioned another wish.
Compared with the opportunity she gave him, this wish seemed so insignificant.
In the darkness, Su sat quietly, staring into the endless darkness.
Back then, in Yorkston, the boy never imagined that seven years later, he would have to shoulder the same responsibility. 7005
