Chapter 65: The Golden House
Seven years ago, East Island.
"Whew! it looks like we're going to add it later!" Tsuneyoshi stretched his body vigorously, showing a slightly satisfied expression.
After nearly a week of exploration and familiarization, Changji and Hugo finally found out the general situation of this military grain depot, including the widening of the tunnel previously dug by Dicar and others.
The scale of the military granary was far beyond what the two had previously anticipated, DiCar's prediction that there would be enough food for the members of the original sin for decades, which is only a conservative estimate now, and now that this unknown underground resource has become the property of Hugo and Tsunekishi, no matter how much they squander it, they will not exhaust it.
This news has to be said to be a material relief for the two who have been trapped here forever.
Hugo stared at the incomparably large underground facilities, and his mind couldn't help but recall the basement where he once lived, although there was no comparison between the two, but that basement did not intend to give Hugo a real home feeling.
Hugo's negative expression quickly infected Chang Ji, and Chang Ji, who was still satisfied and cheerful just now, did not fall.
"How happy it would be if everyone could live to see this scene in front of them now..."Tsuneyoshi's voice began to choke as he spoke.
Hugo opened his mouth slightly, thinking of those dead members of the original sin, Hugo's heart was also very uncomfortable, but he didn't have particularly strong feelings, but when he thought of the dead Hugo and Jasker, his heart was like a knife.
Shaking his head vigorously, Hugo wanted to put these negative emotions behind him.
"Do you think there will be survivors here now?" asked Hugo to Tsuneyoshi.
Chang Ji pondered for a while, and finally shook his head regretfully and said: "I'm afraid it's gone, we've been exploring in the past three years, and we've drawn many survivors into the organization, but we haven't found a single person in the past year, so I'm afraid it's really gone..."
Tsuneyoshi said in an extremely low voice, perhaps remembering the day of destruction that had been extremely terrifying, and Tsuneyoshi's face became more and more ugly.
After a moment of silence, Chang Ji added: "Besides, if you can survive this moment, if you don't have a team to rely on, I'm afraid you should be a lone wolf... The fewer of them, the better. β
Hugo knew the meaning of the lone wolf, a description of some single survivors.
Prior to this, Original Sin had also encountered this kind of survivors, and although they wanted to include them in the organization, these lone wolf survivors were extremely sensitive to the blow of the disaster, and they were extremely distrustful of others, and even had a strong hostility towards them, and began to launch a crazy attack on Original Sin in this regard.
Although the incident was eventually put to rest, the lessons of original sin were profound.
But Hugo didn't have too much resistance and incomprehension of the existence of lone wolf survivors, if it weren't for that evening encounter that changed him, I think he would have walked the same extreme path as those lone wolves.
Chang Ji's optimistic attitude is still stronger than others, and after experiencing the loss just now, he suddenly smiled at Hugo: "By the way, I found some good things when I searched here before, and I think you will definitely like it." β
After that, he led Hugo to a room, and after opening the door, Hugo felt a unique aura coming from it, and as Chang Ji turned on the lights in the room, rows of tall solid wood cabinets came into Hugo's eyes.
Hugo looked at the wooden shelf for a long time in some surprise, and then whispered, "Books?"
"That's right, aren't you surprised, I didn't think there was a library in this military grain depot? β
Hugo walked slowly into the room, but saw that the solid wood summer vacation was neatly arranged with all kinds of brand new books, and each book was completely different.
"This place looks more like a library, there are no duplicate books, it's really convenient for reading and studying, and we can use it to pass the boring time in the coming days." β
After that, Chang Ji then took out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually, and said, "I'm used to reading with a reader, and now I'm really not used to reading this kind of old paper books." β
Hugo looked at the gorgeous spine in front of him, and something seemed to flash in front of him.
On a sunny day, I was sitting on a green meadow with a picture book on my lap.
And beside him, there is another figure...
Hugo suddenly felt his headache splitting, and staggered forward before he could barely stand up.
Taking a deep breath, Hugo struggled to calm down what had just been his chaotic emotions. Hugo knew that something must have gone wrong with his brain, and he had lost his memory of many past events. The most hazy memory in my mind is walking on the blazing streets.
Except for the memories of these three years, Hugo knew nothing of his previous energy, and no matter how hard he tried, the memories were of no avail. Desperately trying to reminisce will only plunge oneself into great anxiety and pain.
βZER... Hugo?" Chang Ji suddenly called out to Hugo from his confusion, and this call made Hugo wake up from his confusion and turn his head to look at Chang Ji.
"You... Are you alright?" asked Tsuneyoshi to Hugo.
Hugo shook his head and said, "It's fine, it's just a little tired." β
Chang Ji nodded and said, "It's been a long time coming, so you'd better go and rest early." β
Hugo shook his head again and said, "It's okay, now I want to ... Reading. β
Chang Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "I really didn't see that you love learning so much, judging by your previous performance, it seems that you only know how to fight and kill with Mr. Jask..."
Hugo reacted quite calmly, and after scanning the many books, he said to Changji: "But there is still a problem if you want to read, I don't know much..."
Chang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "It's not a difficult thing, but in the future, you will have to change your name to Teacher Chang Ji!"
Hugo laughed when he heard this, and his eyes were cast on the books again.
"If I can get out of here one day, I have to go back to school, study there again, and change myself completely. β
The former ZERO sat next to the former Hugo, and the former Hugo hoped to make a beautiful imagination to the former ZERO.
At this moment, in the face of countless books, Hugo made up his mind: my unfulfilled dreams will be completed by me, and your unfinished business will be done by me.
Since knowledge is omnipotent, I hope it can help me unlock the secrets of my body.
