Chapter 11: Dangerous Silence
"Phew, you're in very good shape, it looks like you've gotten through the toughest moments. Tsuneyoshi looked at Hugo, who was swallowing food, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
I don't know how much time has passed since the day of the death of "Original Sin", during which Hugo has been in a coma with high temperatures, and can wake up several times a day, Changji has been staying by Hugo's side, taking care of him carefully, and every time Hugo wakes up, he will find that Changji's face is getting thinner and haggard in the dim light.
After a period of such days, Hugo's body began to recover, the time of the situation became longer, and the food changed from simple water intake to semi-solid food such as rice noodles.
Looking at Hugo who was like a day for a day, Changji's expression became more and more relaxed. In the original battle in the stone forest, Dikal, who had all the advantages at that time, was killed by Chang Ji with a black knife, and the tide of the battle was turned in an instant, but in the face of the chaotic scene at that time, Chang Ji was infinitely quiet and laughed at everything in front of him, and what he had to do was to evacuate the place of right and wrong.
In a hurry, Tsuneyoshi threw away the black knife and snatched the gun from Morad's corpse, although Tsuneyoshi also had a premonition that the black knife in his hand was not extraordinary, but he trusted the human weapon that could kill people from a distance.
Just as Tsuneyoshi was about to escape, he suddenly stopped and set his eyes on ZERO, who had fallen to the ground.
In the entire stone forest, Hugo, Andrew, and Mina are already dead and can't die anymore, as for Dicard and Morad, there is no chance of survival, even if there is a suck that can be saved, Changji will never lend a hand. At this moment, the only person in the field who has the possibility of survival and poses no threat to Tsuneyoshi is ZERO.
Chang Ji thought quickly in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "It's a gamble." With that, he ran to Zero's side, pulled his body behind him, and disappeared into the darkness of the stone forest in an instant as soon as he bent over.
Chang Ji saved ZERO not entirely out of morality, but also for the sake of the future, the "original sin" of everyone has already died, if it weren't for Jaske's sudden awakening, he would have died a long time ago, he needs to survive alone in the next few days, in such difficult conditions on the East Island, what is more terrible than the survival conditions is loneliness, Chang Ji does not want to become Robinson in the East Island, you must know that in this devastated city is more desperate than the Island of Despair.
Tsuneyoshi knew that if ZERO could be saved, he would not help but become his companion, and he would also become a combat force that he could rely on, knowing that people who could fight Dikal were rare in this world.
Looking at Hugo, whose face had begun to be rosy, he was relieved and proud of his foresight.
Hugo reluctantly swallowed the half-solid food for the whole night, and at this time his mouth was so numb that he couldn't taste anything at all, but the hot food still lifted his spirits a lot, and his limbs began to be full of strength.
"How does it feel?" Tsuneyoshi asked.
"Yes, I feel like I can go down to the ground tomorrow. Hugo stretched his palms and felt the sensation of his body regaining its power.
"Hehe, don't worry, anyway, we've been here for so long, let's take care of your body. Chang Ji already said cautiously and subtly.
Hugo looked around, the surrounding walls were covered with rough cement, and it looked extremely rough, and if it weren't for the fact that the entire Moon Island was artificially constructed, it would even make people think that this was a naturally formed room.
"Where are we now?" asked Hugo.
Chang Ji smiled, nodded down with his thumb and said, "We are underground!"
"Underground?" Hugo wondered, remembering the basement where he had spent months with the late Hugo.
Chang Ji said: "To be precise, we are now in the sewer, here is a storage room in the sewer line, now the whole city is destroyed and disappeared, and the underground water line is completely abandoned, but the original construction design is very careful, some basic functions have not been abolished, otherwise we would have suffocated to death." ”
Hugo smiled bitterly and said, "Now we have really become lost dogs." ”
Chang Ji sighed when he heard this: "No, after all, there are only two of us left in the entire original sin, and the leader is him..."
"The first... Lead him... What the hell happened to you?"
Hugo slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, it should be... His power began to eat back against him. ”
"Revolt?" Chang Ji didn't understand Hugo's explanation, and looked at Hugo with wide eyes.
Hugo pondered for a long time and then said: "Dicard's mysterious power did not come out of thin air, he said that it was obtained in the destruction day is not accurate, his power... from devouring other people's lives..."
The corners of Chang Ji's mouth twitched a few times when he heard this, and then he lowered his head, looking at his expression, there was not too much panic and surprise, but it seemed to be relieved that he had been mentally prepared.
"I see..."
Then Chang Ji shook his head and sighed and said to Hugo: "Actually, I have long doubted the ability of the leader, um... I can't say that it's me, almost every member of the original sin has some suspicion in their hearts, it's just that everyone doesn't show it. ”
Hugo was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the members of the original sin had been in the dark by Dicard and Andrew, and at this moment they were shocked when they heard the truth from Changji.
Chang Ji said lightly: "We have always been skeptical of the leader's ability, after all, it is really unimaginable that a person can have superhuman abilities, when the leader established the 'original sin' at the beginning, we had no trust in him, some thought that he was a liar who wanted to gain his own profit in the apocalyptic period, and some people thought that he was an alien product affected by the radiation in the destruction day. ”
"But when the guns of the Tsukishima military pointed at our leader and stepped forward, we believed him completely, no matter how he gained power, it didn't matter to us, all we needed was someone who could protect us. ”
Speaking of this, Chang Ji sighed, with a faint tear in his eyes, and said: "Do you think we are all very cowardly and incompetent, but this can't be helped." We are not warriors with a spirit of steel, in the moment before the day of destruction, we are just small citizens who are trying to make our lives better, we have long lost our ideals and courage, and everything we do is just a compromise of life. Therefore, when the crisis comes, we also choose to find a backer to protect ourselves, if it is not a government department, a person of unknown origin with extraordinary abilities can also be. ”
Hugo was silent, although he felt some emotion in his heart, but he had to say that what Chang Ji said was reasonable, and personal decisions often did not depend on the human form, but on the oppression of the general environment.
Tsuneyoshi continued: "At first, we thought we had met a savior, but after a long time, we realized that something was wrong. ”
