Chapter 38 (I) The Unknown Tomorrow
As Zmiya spoke, Jin Cheng asked Tang Shuxing in a low voice, "Is she really the princess of some ancient human?" β
After Jin Cheng asked, Tang Shuxing asked rhetorically: "That master, can you really control zombies?" β
That Jin Cheng looked at Zmia and nodded, while Zmia stood below, looking at him with his head held high, but at this time, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Tang Shuxing's heart - that Jin Cheng had been transformed in Shaman Power Company, could he have become the person who Reinhardt had planned for seven years and was ready to bury beside him?
This possibility is not impossible, and for now we must be careful to dig out something of value from the mouth of the brocade. Tang Shuxing took advantage of that Jin Cheng to look at Zmiya, turned his head to look at Gu Yan, and Gu Yan realized what he wanted to say from the trace of vigilance that flashed in his eyes. Indeed, Gu Yan was also suspicious of that Jincheng, in the early years Zhan Tianya showed Gu Yan the information of that Jincheng, those materials were written by Zhan Tianya with his own memories, in the upper right corner of the Jincheng information, Zhan Tianya also wrote the four big words "extremely dangerous" with a red pen.
Just as that Jin Cheng turned his gaze to Tang Shuxing, Tang Shuxing asked again: "That master, you should have been an undercover agent sent to Bafang by Yaojin, right?" β
That Jin Cheng was silent for a while and said: "No, but the person in charge of the goods only hinted at me, that's all, but who knows, the so-called division and perennial fighting between Yaojin and the Bafang are just a faΓ§ade, and we are all chess pieces in the hands of Reinhardt." β
"You haven't answered his question yet." Zmiya spoke again at this point, "You are not a demon. Why can you control zombies? β
"Come with me, I'll show you something." After saying that, Na Jincheng got up and led them out of the central control room, leaving through a nearby passageway, passing through several heavily guarded checkpoints, and finally came to a huge cave with more than twenty shipping containers.
The front and rear doors of the twenty containers are all dismantled, and the iron frame below is raised, and countless pipes are laid under the iron frame, and there are also wires and other objects on the top, which looks a little messy.
Na Jin Cheng walked to the first container. Press the switch next to it. Then he nodded to a few guards in the distance, and the guards turned to leave with their guns in hand, while calling for the guards in other positions to leave for a while, not long after. In the entire giant cave, Tang Shuxing and the others were left.
At this time. Tang Shuxing, Gu Yan, and Zmiya all saw clearly what was in the containerβsix small cultivation tanks stood on each side. Each tank barely fitted a single person, and it was filled with walking corpses in various strange poses, their skin tissues already rotting. However, it can be seen that the liquid in the culture tank is repairing them, but slowly.
"This is the walking corpse, and the zombie bear over there, these are not actually made of guΓ² drugs or foreign arts, but with my body cells." Na Jin Cheng said flatly, "Originally, these were just corpses, and so were those bears, some of the bears were killed and eaten by people, and only a third of the bodies were brought back by me when they were left, placed in the culture tank, and modified with my body cells, and the finished product was my own walking corpse." β
Zmiya looked around: "The cultivation tank here is the one that was originally in the base?" β
"Yes, these were originally left by the former Soviet Union and prepared by Russia for the in-depth transformation of the cyborg driver, but because of the war, it was too late, and this is a treasure trove for me." Na Jincheng looked around, with a satisfied expression, "Those refugees here are all rescued by me over the years. β
"I have a question." Gu Yan looked at the Jin Chengdao.
Na Jincheng nodded: "Ask." β
Gu Yan pointed outside and said, "But why don't you care about the lives and deaths of those people on the satellite island?" β
Tang Shu helped Na Jincheng answer: "I think, that Jincheng is because he knows who Dong Sanlu is, and he is worried that Dong Sanlu will have a disagreement with him, secondly, the soldiers under Dong Sanlu are basically soldiers who have not gone far after the disbandment of the Eurasian army, and third, I think it is because of that strange plant." β
That Jincheng nodded and walked towards the depths of the cave: "It's basically like this, that plant, I can't figure out what it is, but I guess it should have something to do with ancient humans, you must know that since the frequent natural disasters around the world a few years ago, these strange things hidden in the ground have popped up all over the earth, I heard that there is a town in Mexico where the ground is completely turned over, and after the other side is turned to the ground, it turns out to be the ruins of a city, this kind of thing is completely impossible to explain what is going on." β
Tang Shuxing followed behind that Jin Cheng and asked, "But why are you, why did you create these zombies?" β
"Build an army of your own." Na Jincheng stood in a room filled with various instruments and displays, "Do you know how many people are left in the world now? β
Tang Shuxing shook his head, and Na Jincheng pressed the enter key on the keyboard, pointing to the number on it and said: "This is the approximate number of signs of life that the satellite on the satellite island has been continuously scanned in the predetermined orbit, and after the multi-orbit operation, as of an hour ago, less than 2.5 billion humanoid lifeforms have been discovered." β
"Oh my God." Gu Yan shook his head, "There are only 2.5 billion left." β
Na Jincheng sat down and nodded: "Yes, when the war broke out seven years ago, the world's population was still 7.5 billion, that is to say, in seven years, plus wars and natural disasters, 5 billion people were lost, but most of them died because of natural disasters. β
Tang Shuxing looked at the display screen and said, "Is this number accurate?" β
"It's definitely not accurate, it can only be said that even if there are more, there is not much more, and in the new region of Shangdu, there are still more than 800 million people, these are the healthiest people, in other words, if anything goes wrong with this group of people, then the human race is very likely to disappear." After speaking, Jin Cheng turned his chair and looked at Tang Shuxing.
Gu Yan looked at Na Jincheng and asked, "What do you mean?" β
That Jin Cheng was silent. Just looking at Tang Shuxing, Zmiya said expressionlessly beside him: "When we are facing a mass extinction, there are only a few million people left of the population, and you still have 2.5 billion people, which is considered lucky." β
Tang Shuxing glanced at Gu Yan and said: "What that master means is that if we launch a full-scale war against Shangdu, no matter what the result is, it will ultimately lead to our own destruction, and those people in Shangdu now are the last hope of the remaining human beings, which is equivalent to seeds." β
What Gu Yan wanted to say. But I can't say it. This brutal truth makes it impossible for him to argue with anything. There are still about 2.5 billion people left in the whole world, and the only people who are the healthiest and the only people who have any hope of living to the average life expectancy and dying are the 800 million people in Shandu, and the remaining billion or so people are surviving in harsh conditions. Maybe he was still talking and laughing for a second. In the next second, it could turn into a decomposing corpse.
If the Resistance starts a full-scale war. The two armies are at war, and no matter what the outcome is, it is the human race that suffers in the end.
"If Reinhardt hadn't started that damn war......" Gu Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"You're wrong." Na Jincheng and Zmiya said these three words almost in unison. Then Na Jincheng signaled Zimiya to say first, Zimiya looked at Gu Yan and said, "Even if there is no war, natural disasters will still come, and the damned will still die, among the 5 billion people, in the past 7 years, what percentage of them have died in war?" β
"What about the United States! Just counting the United States, this number is terrifying! Gu Yan said angrily, "How many deaths have been caused by an ice bomb?" β
Tang Shuxing sat on one side in a daze, not participating in their discussion.
Na Jincheng got up, walked up to Gu Yan and said: "That ice bomb hit Washington, and then I estimated the loss, at that time, the number of people who froze to death was not much, at most less than 10,000 people, of course, I don't mean that they deserve to die, but from the overall figure of 5 billion, these are nothing, because the civilians there are basically transferred, to Canada, and then from Canada to the Shangdu New Region." β
Gu Yan frowned and looked at Na Jincheng and asked, "What do you want to say?" What do you mean? Do you think what Reinhardt did was for the good of the world? β
Na Jincheng shook his head and sat down again: "I didn't say that, I just think that if you fight to the death with Shangdu now, the only possibility is that everyone is finished, I spent a lot of effort in the past few years, with the people who know nuclear physics among the refugees, I worked hard to find the remaining nuclear warheads around, dismantled them one by one, and then sank to the bottom of the sea, because of the radiation, at least more than 50 people died under my men." β
"Stop arguing." Tang Shuxing looked up at the three of them slightly, "My question now is, since Reinhardt is a natural mutant himself, why didn't he reforge the Eye of Rulai, why did he look for me?" Why didn't he ruin the miΓ¨ world? Also, Zmiya said, why did he and the Earth Turtle do that when they were replicating their ancient humans? There are too many questions now, but I also agree with the opinion of Na Jincheng, in any case, we should not carry out mass destruction, we should not start a war against Shangdu, you seem to be defending justice, but in reality? In fact, all the dead and wounded were innocent civilians. β
Gu Yan sighed: "I can't talk about you, and I know what you mean, but I can't convince myself, I'll go out for a walk." β
Tang Shuxing nodded at Gu Yan, Gu Yan turned around and left with the gun on his back.
Gu Yan walked away, and Tang Shuxing said in a low voice: "He is Zhan Tianya's proud protΓ©gΓ©." β
Na Jincheng nodded: "But his experience is too little, he is still too young, and he is similar to those ignorant students in the world before, thinking that everything must be fought and sacrificed, and what flowers of freedom can bear fruit." β
At this time, Tang Shuxing suddenly looked at Na Jincheng and asked, "That master, can I trust you?" β
That Jin Cheng looked at Tang Shuxing and sneered: "You can trust, but it's better to have reservations, just like my trust in you is also reserved, but I know that at least on some kind of Cheng DΓΉ, we can reach an agreement." β
"If you want to do something, do it earlier." Zmiya looked at the two of them and said, "Because the mass extinction is normally divided into three stages, the first stage has been experienced by the world, then natural disasters are frequent, the second stage you are experiencing, the environment has been bad, the third stage is coming, that is, the last stage, the environment is bad at the same time, large-scale disasters are coming again, under that kind of attack, there are very few people who can survive, and if your world population can still have a few million left, it will be a great luck in misfortune."
