The hateful thing was that as soon as he woke up, he found that Lu Feng had occupied his former room in the institute. Everything in the room was exactly the same as before he died but the owner had changed. He tried to get Lu Feng to move next door but Lu Feng told him with no expression, ‘If you don’t want to be in the same room as me, continue to sleep in the nutrition tank.’

An Zhe, “…”

Three years hadn’t made this person’s character kinder, not even the slightest bit. Thus, he could only share a room, a desk and a bed with the colonel. In the end, An Zhe felt so suspicious that he couldn’t continue to look at the materials and was  sleepy to the point where he had to sleep.

“It’s boring.”

In bed, Lu Feng held him from behind and he looked at the white walls in a dazed manner.

The colonel’s voice was icy like the frozen stream. “Where do you want to go?”

“I think…” An Zhe stared at the wall, slight confusion in his eyes. He had a place to go. It was a place that apart from him, only Lu Feng knew about. An Zhe had never mentioned it even to Polly.

“I want to find An Ze,” he whispered.

In the cave where it all began, An Ze’s bones were still waiting for him. He had a lot to say to An Ze.

He remembered every word An Ze had said to him. An Ze said that he was a person whose life was meaningless. An Zhe wanted to tell An Ze about the upheavals at the Northern Base and the source of the last bell.

If it hadn’t been for meeting Lu Feng and An Ze, nothing would’ve happened. Thus, fate fluctuated with countless coincidences. However, the Abyss was so large that he couldn’t find the cave. In addition, no one was willing to accompany him to find it. It became a distant wish.

“But I can’t find it,” he murmured. “I don’t know anything and don’t remember.”

“I will go with you and look for it,” Lu Feng whispered in his ears.

An Zhe’s eyes widened.

Everything was like a dream. The next day, after saying goodbye to Polly, their armoured vehicle was dropped by the transport aircraft into the middle of the Abyss. The captain was the pilot of PL1109. Before bidding them farewell, he instructed them to remember to look for Hubbard and Tang Lan. They had disappeared after the monster siege at the institute. Now the only thing that could be confirmed was that Tang Lan was still alive despite being seriously injured. Their corpses hadn’t been found within 10 miles.

“I seriously suspect that they healed up, got lost and then lay eggs.” The captain made a final inference and left on the transport plane.
