Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 463 462. You are a hot commodity in every way
To be honest, Sheng Nai is indeed reassuring and warm, because even though she fell in love at first sight earlier than anyone else, she was able to maintain this pure emotion.

Even if she occasionally shows a subtle and heavy feeling, it must be just an illusion. As long as you don't do anything to make her sad, she will be calm and wait simply.

Together, she and Cypher threw the drunk person onto the bed. After feeding him medicine, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Cypher... well, there's still not much progress in the research."

"After reaching my previous conclusion, I reorganized all my analyses of Cypher. My current conclusion is... well."

Trying to organize his words, Shengnai thought for a moment before trying to describe it: "It's like, I'm afraid I'm too inhuman to fit in, so I have to rigidly adjust the human part of myself."

"I see, that's why I..."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and they both recalled the previous break when they tried to educate Frederick, but neither of them ended up well. But to be honest, it was a pretty comfortable time.

Then Shengnai lowered his head with a slight blush on his cheeks: "I, I think this is a good thing. It means that Seifer is kind-hearted and would even consider it so carefully."

"So... do you dislike this inhuman disguise?"

"I won't be disgusted, because, well..."

An introvert like Shengnai cannot say things like "I like you, I love you" in public like Miss Nana does.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Seifer raised his hand and pressed her head. "I'm glad you don't reject me. To be honest, I'm quite worried. After all, people are very wary of those who are different. Now I'm the one who's being wary of, right?"

"That's not true! Cypher... is different from others. I've seen all the dangerous actions he's taken, and how he's always been protecting me."

Shengnai looked at Seifer seriously, her expression unchanged. Although the reflection in her eyes showed the face of a head sculpture, she had never wavered in the person she believed in.

The so-called belief or trust is ultimately an emotion derived from long-term companionship.

And to be honest, she was not wrong - in many ways, Cypher was not a bad person.

Of course, to the entertainment company, he was a complete villain. He even destroyed their hard-earned offensive with the power of a mercenary.

As for another identity that does not actually exist, igniting the fire in some people's hearts is just a matter of convenience.

"Okay, that's enough discussion about identity. You should rest now. You've been giving emergency treatment to unfortunate kids with injuries all day, right?"

"That's... indeed. We often bump into each other in the car. How did Seifer know?"

"The closed-circuit television in the car."

Shengnai smiled embarrassedly and was about to get up and leave when someone expressed dissatisfaction - yes, it was Tien who was lying there after taking hangover pills.

She suddenly looked up: "Is it over like this?!"

"...?"

Seeing the two of them were puzzled, she sat up directly: "Shouldn't you two be talking to each other from the bottom of your hearts, then being honest with each other on that bed, then being unable to control your emotions, and then doing this and that?!"

Seifer slapped his head and said, "Shengnai, give her an injection of arsenic and kill her."

"No, no, no, wait, before you poison me to death, let me watch it first, otherwise I will die with regrets."

Shengnai stood up without saying a word, lowered his head and left in a hurry, without even having time to say his usual polite goodbye.

Then, Cypher looked at the still-drunk guy with sympathy and said, "Don't get hurt too badly next time, or you might end up with a surgical scissors in your stomach."

"Tsk, indeed. I was too impatient, so when can you get this little girl into bed?" When you are not around, and it's not one-on-one.

The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. After a few seconds, Tien suddenly changed the subject: "We're getting further and further away. How long did we estimate it would take to reach the Central Node City?"

It seems to be about half a month, and it will not fluctuate by more than three days, because the days in this season are getting shorter and the nights are correspondingly longer.

Tien was still lying there feeling a little dazed. The momentary clarity she had just experienced indicated that she was about to enter the next stage of drunkenness. She continued speaking while she was still sober.

"There's still about half a month left. Think about where we've been these past few days. If we switch lines again, we'll have to spend the next few days outside."

But there was no way. After all, Seifer had always been cautious. If he encountered some probing guys, he would immediately adjust his route to avoid being surrounded on a larger scale again.

It's like doing a stealth mission, trying not to be encountered by anyone... Of course, it doesn't matter when you get near the central node city.

Because the Central Node City is an area with excess military force, if you fire a shot outside it, you will experience what it means to have divine soldiers descend from the sky in the next second.

The speed of attacking beyond visual range is calculated in seconds, which is just asking for trouble.

"...We'll just keep circling around like this for now. When we find an opportunity, we'll approach the Node City. We're east of the Node City now, so at worst, we can just go around to the west and then enter."

"Anyway, I'm not the one paying for the overhaul. There are so many node cities of the Phantom Mist Group on the way, let them worry about it."

Tien laughed a few times, squinted his eyes with a headache to indicate that he wanted to rest, then pulled up the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

Before Seifer was about to leave, she suddenly lifted the quilt again and said, "Oh, by the way, Captain, if you need anything, you can come to me. I'm so greedy."

"Sleep to your sleep!"

After closing the door tightly, Seifer tried to sigh but failed. He could only shake his head helplessly. There was really no normal person in this car. They were all guys with some problems in their brains!
...No, at least Ichika is a normal person. She has organized several juniors to form an emergency damage control team these past two days and is busy with drills. This is normal thinking.

Then Laika should be considered normal, although she has an incredible level of passion for her work.

"Mercenary, if you have time, come to my place."

Feldrich's voice rang out over the comms, her tone a bit impatient, and then she emphasized, "Don't come to me with that tin shell of yours."

To be honest, as long as Dr. Mei doesn't find a gap one day, crawl into the can and act as landfill, Sefer can actually accept it.

The reason why I want to emphasize Dr. Mei is mainly because, well... it's quite thrilling, in every sense of the word.

He found a place to sit nearby and let the backup body go offline. When Seifer's real body opened his eyes in the jar, he saw Laika looking at him with curiosity.

Separated from the glowing pipes, Cypher landed lightly on the ground, and heard her ask, "So, from the time this car started running until now, you haven't left this place, Red Crossbow?"

Actually, I did, but it only happened that one time. After that, I was busy with car matters every day and didn’t think about letting the real body out for a walk.

Grabbing his hair in his hand, the first thing Cypher said was not a reply: "Leica, it's supposed to be break time now, why are you still in control here?"

"Well... I don't need much sleep, and the communication channels outside are very chaotic. There have been many more traceable signals recently."

Laika picked up the notebook, which was densely filled with various call signs.

"But one thing is very strange: all these signals are moving on a large scale, like a migration."
