The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 60 The Night Before Migration

Looking at her husband blankly, Ma Yuzhen fell silent. It was not that she didn't know what her husband was thinking, but...

After a while, Zhang Yuzhen said: "You should think about it on the other hand. This is not a good place. Except for you, the castle master, and your subordinates, everyone else's lives are numb and they are... Trapped in this closed environment, everyone has no privacy, stinks, and is dirty, just like animals in captivity. This migration may be an opportunity for us to have a better living environment. "

Maybe the wife is right, nothing is set in stone, and maybe he should accept reality?

Looking sideways slightly, Sun Gaowu glanced at his wife, then closed his eyes and said: "Go ahead..."

Looking at her husband who was sleeping with her eyes closed, Ma Yuzhen hesitated to speak. In the end, she didn't say anything. She stood up and left the curtain with three turns.

It wasn't until Ma Yuzhen's figure disappeared into the curtains and the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away that Sun Gaowu opened his eyes.

A deep sigh sounded from the curtain, seeming to express Sun Gaowu's helplessness.

Time passed little by little. When Ma Yuzhen returned to the camp, Li Meng had finished his meal and was sitting on the sofa warming himself by the fire.

After quietly glancing at Li Meng, Ma Yuzhen walked lightly back to the dining table, filled herself a bowl of warm rice bowl, and ate in silence...

She ate quickly, and after a while, Ma Yuzhen put down her chopsticks and cleared the tableware on the table.

Following the sound of pots and pans, the sound disappeared after about five or six minutes.

After wiping her hands with a towel, Ma Yuzhen came to the bed and began to undress one by one.

After a while, Ma Yuzhen, wearing only her underwear, lifted the quilt, got on the bed, and entered the cold quilt.

"Sir...sir, you can go to bed..."

The voice from Ma Yuzhen brought Li Meng out of his thoughts.

Looking back at Ma Yuzhen, who had already gotten into bed, Li Meng stretched, stood up, and came to the bedside.

Li Meng took off his armor one by one, and took off his clothes one by one. Finally, Li Meng got into bed wearing only a pair of large pants.

Tonight, Ma Yuzhen no longer turned her back to Li Meng, but lay flat on the bed.

He naturally hugged Ma Yuzhen's waist, and Li Meng naturally lay in Ma Yuzhen's arms...

Squinting his eyes slightly, feeling the softness of Ma Yuzhen's chest and the warmth of her delicate body, Li Meng had a look of comfort on his face.

Li Meng was very natural and casual, but Ma Yuzhen was a little nervous. Her face was slightly red and there was only shame in her eyes.

Although she is much older than the Governor, this posture still makes her feel uncomfortable...

"He's awake?"

Li Meng's muffled voice sounded in Ma Yuzhen's arms.

With a slightly red face, Ma Yuzhen whispered: "Well, he woke up..."

Li Meng arched his arms into Ma Yuzhen's arms and found a more comfortable position. Li Meng said in a muffled voice, "Did he ask you to come?"

"this……"

In her mind, Ma Yuzhen began to think wildly. How should he answer the Governor's words?

If the answer is "yes", will the Governor look down on her husband because of this? If the answer is "No", will the Governor...

Thinking of this, Ma Yuzhen looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Ma Yuzhen was silent for a long time, Li Meng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, closed his eyes, and said: "Since you can't think of how to answer, then don't think about it. Do your thing, and he will do his own thing. That's it." That's enough. Don't think too much. Your husband is not an ordinary person. He is a very useful tool for me, and he will be put to good use by me. "

Just a tool?

Although these words were uncomfortable to hear, Ma Yuzhen also felt a sense of peace of mind.

Harsh words are not lies, and confident yet ugly words will not make people doubt their authenticity.

Afterwards, the camp became quiet, and only the breathing of the two people intertwined together, gradually becoming longer...

Time passes bit by bit, and in sleep, no matter how long the night is, it only lasts in a blink of an eye.

Tonight, many people have lost sleep, and the whispers in the shelter have continued for a long, long time...

Perhaps because he was concerned about the threat of red tide, Li Meng woke up from his sleep early in the morning.

Time is still on, the charcoal fire in the iron bucket in the camp has not been extinguished, and the mechanical clock on the wall only points to 5:17.

Instead of continuing to sleep, Li Meng woke up Ma Yuzhen.

"You don't need to prepare anything, and you don't need to bring anything. Remember to wear thicker clothes. It's very cold outside. There's still a little time before departure. You can make some food that you can carry. Your husband is seriously injured. He can drag it, but he can't. He is hungry. Only by supplementing enough nutrition can he recover faster. If there is any trouble, just ask Chen Tianyou and say it was me."

Ma Yuzhen felt warm in her heart after listening to the Governor's instructions.

Although these words were said casually, Ma Yuzhen could also hear the Governor's concern for her from these words.

Although this doesn't mean anything, it is enough to show that the Governor's heart is not cold.

With the last piece of armor on his body, Li Meng took the helmet handed over by Ma Yuzhen and put it on his head.

Without saying anything else, Li Meng turned around and strode away. Under Ma Yuzhen's gaze, he lifted the door curtain and walked out.

As soon as I left the camp, my eyes suddenly darkened. At this time, the insomniac had already fallen asleep, and there were only a few embers left in the charcoal fire in the iron bucket. Without the rising flame, there would be no light.

But not all the flames in the iron barrels were extinguished. Some of them were still burning. Their presence prevented the platform from being completely shrouded in darkness.

Walking among the soldiers in front of the tent, Li Meng said as he walked: "Send a message to the Qing'an Shelter, inform Meng Wuwei and Zhu Wei, and let them make corresponding preparations."

As Li Meng's words fell, in the Governor's Mansion of the Qing'an Shelter more than ten kilometers to the east, an imperial spearman standing guard on the first floor suddenly moved, stepped forward, left his guard position, opened the door of the Governor's Mansion, and quickly left the Governor's Mansion...

"My Lord, my Lord..."

In the Yingjiang Shelter, Li Meng and his army had just entered the passage when Chen Tianyou caught up.

Li Meng paused slightly, stopped, turned around and looked behind.

In the passage, as Li Meng stopped, the clanging footsteps stopped abruptly, and the imperial archers stood in the passage like statues, motionless.

Quickly coming to Li Meng, Chen Tianyou panted and said, "Sir, it's only half past five and the temperature outside is still around minus sixty degrees. Wait a little longer."

Looking at Chen Tianyou in front of him, Li Meng's expression was calm, and he said, "It's time to wake them up. Go, prepare for the departure. Leave on time at six o'clock. I'll go outside to reorganize the army."

The governor's army has arrived?

Hearing this, Chen Tianyou's face lit up and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare..."
