Chapter 178: Stay Alive

Facing Hugo, who seemed to be almost indifferent, Chang Ji said: "You and I have been dependent on each other for so many years, and we have not seen a third person except each other. Do you think this is a normal world? Is this a world that human beings are supposed to live in?"

When Hugo heard this, a thought suddenly flashed through him, when he was still ZERO seven years ago, and he was also dependent on Hugo, and the two of them didn't even understand what was going on in the world, and even the two of them once thought that they were the last two lives in the world.

"For seven years, I was cut off from the world in a way I hadn't experienced since I was born. At a time when the city was in ruins, I thought it was the end of humanity. However, when I was chased by those soldiers, I realized that things were not as simple as I thought. ”

At this, Tsuneyoshi sighed deeply, and with this sigh, Hugo only felt that he was already a dozen years old.

"It's been seven years, and I don't know what the world has become. Why did this happen in the East Island seven years ago. I don't even know what the world has become. Did the same thing happen to other cities like Higashijima, as in the sci-fi movies, the whole world went into a state of apocalyptic wasteland, or was it just that Higashishima was abandoned by the world and completely became a dead city? ”

Tsuneji shook his head heavily and said, "I don't know... I don't know..."

Then Chang Ji looked up at Hugo and said, "Even so, I don't want to know all this now, because... Fear. ”

"I was scared to know all the truth, and I felt like I couldn't accept it in any direction. ”

"Now I complain about God and scold others, but in fact I resent myself the most. ”

"The experience that I have survived to this day is not the same as yours, I did not rely on my own strength to get to where I am today, cowardly, cowardly and.... Fortunate. I have survived to this day is already God's greatest favor for me, and I believe that it would be difficult for other better people in this world to survive like this for a long time, hehe, isn't it ironic. ”

Hugo looked at Chang Ji, who was full of self-deprecation, and said: "You are not a coward, you killed Dikal and saved me." ”

Chang Ji smiled bitterly: "Yes, plotting behind the backs of others is indeed a strong point." ”

Hugo said: "Changji, if you really yearn for the outside world, we can find a way to get out of here, we..."

Chang Ji interrupted Hugo with a wave of his hand, "I want you to leave." ”

Hugo was stunned for a moment, and then said puzzled: "Why?"

Tsuneji sighed and said, "I... I can't walk anymore. After that, Chang Ji opened his eyes and said to Hugo with a wry smile: "Don't look at me as if I am not yet a year old, but my body and mind are really old." ”

"Not only did I feel fear of the unknown in my heart, but my body didn't allow me to do risky things anymore. ”

"Hugo, I'm sick. ”

Hugo was taken aback when he heard this, and at this time he seemed to suddenly notice that Chang Ji's face was much thinner than before, and there were several wrinkles full of vicissitudes and pain at the corners of his eyes.

"What the hell is going on?" Hugo asked sharply as he stepped forward to Tsuneyoshi.

"Haha, Hugo, calm down, I'm the one who is sick. Chang Ji smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"I don't know exactly what the symptoms are, after all, I'm not a doctor. But I was able to feel my body... It's bad. ”

"Both the heart, lungs and gastrointestinal system often feel uncomfortable, I found some related drugs and took them, but it didn't work, but it became more and more serious. I felt like my internal organs were in some kind of failure. ”

Looking at Hugo's eager eyes, Chang Ji smiled: "Actually, it's not an accident that this happened. I have been very weak since I was a child, and even when I grow up, I need to go to the hospital from time to time for health check-ups and nursing. Haha, doesn't that sound funny? Really, I can't help but laugh when I think about it now. ”

"But in seven years I changed completely, and that disaster destroyed everything. In circumstances like the end of the world, all I can pray for is to spend the present day, and I dare not ask for the sun to see tomorrow, so where can I go to the doctor to prescribe antibiotics under such conditions?"

With that, Tsuneyoshi leaned back, supported his body with one hand, took a sip of beer and said, "But now this kind of life is also very good, it gives me a completely different experience, which I have never imagined." I couldn't enjoy it, but I had to adapt and find joy in it. ”

Hugo said in a deep voice: "Changji, we need to get out of here, we need to find a way to enter the metropolitan area, there will be doctors there, and they will cure you!"

Chang Ji suddenly smiled and said, "Can you remember the last time you were in the hospital?"

Hugo shook his head, he had never seen a hospital full of people except a hospital that was completely in ruins.

Chang Ji sighed and said, "Lucky boy." ”

"The hospital is the most hated place in the world, and although I go there a lot, I also hate it the most. No matter how clean and tidy the hospital is, there is always a smell of death in the air, which lingers and makes people feel sick. Although I haven't been there in years, the impression I remember is still fresh in my mind. ”

After sighing, Chang Ji said: "In the past few years in Dongdao, I have lost a lot of things and learned a lot of things. Every night, when I face the darkness where I can't see my fingers, I also feel and think about a lot of things. One of them is that I'm not so afraid of death anymore. ”

"Hehe, can you imagine what a cowardly, cowardly, greedy and death-fearing survivor looks like when he sees through life and death in the dark? Maybe ordinary people think that I have become brave, but I think it is just a helpless compromise. ”

Hugo's heart was in a mess at this moment, and he said loudly: "In this case, you will resist! Try to live and expel the disease in your body completely! ”

Chang Ji looked at the furious Hugo and grinned helplessly.

"Hugo, don't you understand what I mean, I can't leave this place anymore, everything is dead with the city, whether it's my body, my heart, my beliefs and emotions. After that, Chang Ji spread his hands and said, "You can see this person in front of you as a walking corpse, and it is the kind that does not make you happy." ”

Grief and anger have invaded Hugo's brain like a flood, and Hugo can be said to have completely lost his mind at this moment, he can't understand everything Tsuneyoshi said, and he doesn't want to understand it.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

In anger, Hugo slammed the bottle at his feet.

"Changji, you're a coward!" said Hugo, turning away from the rooftop.

"I'm a coward, but why aren't you now? Hugo, you are completely different from me, you are young, smart, and have incredible strength, no disaster will defeat you, they are just your whetstones! will make you sharper and stronger! Hugo, you should get out of here, your life does not belong here..."

Tsuneyoshi's voice kept coming from behind Hugo, but Hugo, who was overwhelmed by grief and indignation, had long since lost all his words.

...

"The air here is good. ”

Hugo's thoughts were interrupted by a calm, cold voice, and he turned his head to see that Jasmine had come to his side.

This was the first time Jasmine had taken the initiative to speak to Hugo since last night, and Hugo was even a little flattered for a while.

Hugo smiled and said, "Yes, the air is full of natural corruption. Maybe it's been too long since there was life here, so it should have the most natural atmosphere. ”

Jasmine said lightly: "The breath of lifeless nature is sickly. ”

Hugo smiled: "Maybe, but if there is a consciousness of nature, maybe she also wants to be pure and pure once in a while." ”

Jasmine looked at Hugo and said, "Did I disturb you?"

Hugo hurriedly said: "No, I'm glad you can talk to me." ”

Jasmine looked at Hugo and said, "What the hell is this? I used to like you so much, but you always treated me coldly, and sometimes that feeling of being away almost drove me crazy." But now..."

Hugo shook his head lightly and said, "I'm sorry Jasmine, I..."

Jasmine shook her head and said, "No need to apologize, you never owe me anything." What I can't forgive you is not something that your apology can solve. ”

Hugo sighed, his relationship with Jasmine was very complicated, he had been hovering between friends and lovers earlier, and now there was a special element in this free relationship between the two, only this time Hugo could not name this definition.

Jasmine turned her head to look at the night sky with heavy rain.

"How much else do you remember about this place?"

Hugo said: "All." ”

Jasmine looked at Hugo with a little surprise and said, "All?"

Hugo replied firmly, "All." ”

Jasmine pondered for a moment and then thought for a moment, "I see. ”

The two fell silent.

Jasmine spoke again, "I've never been here, and since I was a child, I knew that the city of the East Island had been destroyed in the world, just like those ancient civilizations in human history. So I've never had any yearning for that. However, when I came here today, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, perhaps because the rain here looks a little similar to that of the 23rd arrondissement. ”

Hugo said: "It seems that you really feel this way after you say this." ”

The tranquil and peaceful 23rd arrondissement bears some resemblance to the silent East Island on a rainy night.

This invisibly brings the atmosphere between Hugo and Jasmine a little closer. When the two first met in the 23rd arrondissement, they were in a café after a light rain.

When Hugo left the 23rd arrondissement for the second time, he also said goodbye to Jasmine in a rain.

It can be said that the rain is an important witness between the two.

It witnessed the two meeting, acquaintance, and now resentment. Realizing this, Hugo couldn't help but sigh sincerely at the trick of fate.

"Seven years ago or so, there was a great rain here, and since then I have lost what little I have. ”

Hugo's eyes were already in front of Dicard's generous statement in front of the people of original sin, thinking of his division with Hugo in the rainy night, fighting in the rainy night, trembling in the rainy night.

The night rain on the East Island may temporarily wash away the corruption of the city, but it will never wash away all that is happening here.

"You said you left here three years ago to escape the curry rice, is it true?" asked Jasmine.

Hugo nodded and said, "That's true, of course it's just one of the reasons." ”

Jasmine said, "So what is the idea in your head when you step into the metropolitan area?"

Hugo was slightly stunned, and he heard some vague meaning in Jasmine's words. Hugo said: "Do you think... So what is that?"

Jasmine looked at Hugo calmly and said, "Revenge." ”

Hugo was silent, and Jasmine continued: "When I found out that you were from the East Island, I suddenly understood a lot of your behavior, and even understood a little. I understand why you made those choices, because the real motive that drives you in your heart is revenge. ”

Looking at Jasmine with a cold face, Hugo suddenly laughed, this smile surprised Jasmine, and she looked at Hugo with wide eyes.

"You're laughing?"

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what should I do?

Jasmine said, "Are you trying to cover up something with laughter?"

Hugo thought for a moment and then shook his head and said, "No, I just feel a little funny." ”

Jasmine said with a grim face: "This is a lot of laughter." ”

"Isn't it funny?"

"It's not funny. ”

"Hmm... Oh well, I won't laugh anymore. Hugo slowly retracted the smile on his face.

"Answer my question. Jasmine said coldly.

Hugo said, "Is this necessary? You have already given me the answer." ”

Jasmine said, "That's my answer, and I want to hear you say your answer yourself." ”

Hugo said, "Does it matter?"

"Doesn't it matter?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

"It's important to me. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, in that case, I'll answer you." ”

Hugo took a deep breath, then turned his gaze back to the dark and rainy night.

After a long time, Hugo spoke: "The reasons for my departure from the East Island are very complicated, and of course there is no curry rice factor among these complex reasons. Hugo smiled again, and Jasmine looked at him with a blank face.

Hugo restrained his smile again and said: "It is true that when I left the East Island for the metropolitan area, my heart was full of hatred for this world, and I especially wanted to take revenge on a certain party. But I didn't have any clear goals at the time, so I could say that I didn't have a goal at all. So revenge is just an end. And when my feet really stepped on the land in the metropolitan area, there was only one thought in my head..."

"Live. ”
