Chapter 12: The Old Days: Birds (4)
The white curtain outlining the golden bellflower pattern is blown up, and the sunlight outside the window reflects the swaying shadows of the trees and the sound of cicadas.
"What is outside the greenhouse?"
It was the first thing he heard after waking up from the long ice.
He opened his eyes and looked blankly at the blond boy who was sitting on the edge of the bed, his own age and looking like a doll.
The blonde boy wears a blazing red rose top hat, a one-shoulder cloak of the same color, and a crisp double-breasted shirt underneath, like an aristocrat out of a medieval oil painting.
At this moment, the aristocratic young man's face was full of impatience, and he endured his temper and asked again, "What is outside the greenhouse?" ”
He was a little confused, greenhouse?
Isn't that a house where temperature-loving plants are cultivated in winter?
Wait, where is this?
The gorgeous decoration of this room does not look like a restoration cabin!
Now, is it already 2188?
But before he could ask questions, a picture suddenly played in his mind.
Is this memory genetic technology?
He was extremely surprised, but his face had not shown expression because it had been frozen for too long, but the shocked look in his eyes pleased the blonde boy.
"Tsk, it's really primitive people from the previous era."
He didn't think much of the blonde boy's sarcasm, his attention was drawn to the world in his mind.
It's 2068 A.D., twenty years after the Red Mist Crisis erupted.
The world was nothing like what he remembered.
The country was replaced by twelve city-states, with a virtual sky overhead, and a high wall beyond the greenhouse, and the world shrouded in red mist...... Humanity has never been able to leave the greenhouse – the Earth.
When he went into hibernation, it was 2036 AD, the year he was twelve years old, just in time for Project Cross's testing range.
He was supposed to wake up in 2188, but for some reason, he was awakened early.
After he finished "watching" popular science, he turned his gaze to the blonde boy who was blinking his beautiful eyes, holding his cheeks with his hands, and looking at him with great interest.
He heard his own hoarse voice like pulling a bellows, "Where is this?" ”
"The voice is ugly, haven't you passed the voice change period yet?" The blonde boy was disgusted by his voice and was not going to answer.
He didn't speak, closed his eyes, and analyzed the memories in his head.
The blonde boy leaned down, his white-gloved fingers tapping on the side of the bed, thought for a moment, and replied, "This is the Twin Towers, one of the twelve city-states, and the Iron Capital, which is famous for its android technology. ”
"You are a member of the first sequence of the cross list of the cross base, and you can bear the implantation of the Adel crystal 100%, after the Red Mist Crisis, my sister used the exit of the cross base as a price to exchange for you for the flower dynasty."
Hearing this, he asked in surprise and suspicion, "What?" Human trafficking is ......"
The golden boy hooked the corners of his mouth, and he liked to see this expression, "It's not illegal, it's a new era, and the price we pay is greater than what you lose."
However, we will respect your choice, but until you reach adulthood, you will have to stay here and receive the implantation of the Adel Crystal. ”
"Adel Crystal?"
What is that?
Popular science memory did not tell him.
The golden boy crossed his hands and put them on his chest, and said in a gesture of prayer, "A crystallization of energy that brings misfortune, the ore born from the colonized planet SA19 before the start of the Cross Project, the specific purpose is to create a god, the Overseer of Civilization." ”
"However, there are too many variables in the current cross plan, after the Red Mist Crisis, there are not many Adel crystals on the earth, I heard from my sister, there are about a hundred more."
"So, you have to share this Adel crystal with me, we will be connected with our lives in the future, don't hold me back."
The golden boy babbled, he had been listening quietly, while looking through the popular science memory, from the blurred fragment, he saw the familiar name of Arctic.
Number G19, awakened in 2060.
It turned out that neither she nor herself had reached the year 2188!
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but fortunately, the difference is not far away, and we can still meet.
“…… I like you very much, and I want to merge memories with you, although my sister doesn't support me doing this, but it's okay to be a little willful. The blonde boy suddenly said with a straight face, which made his heart skip a beat.
"Fused memories?"
"Well, because we want to share the Adel Crystal, we have to be the same person."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Don't want to?" The blonde boy was a little puzzled, "Why don't you want to?" ”
"I'm going to the Cross Base to find someone, she was awakened in 2060 and is my friend."
"Hey, you know the G19?" The blonde boy was very surprised, subconsciously touched the crimson rose top hat, frowned, and said, "I heard my sister say that it is the most important weapon of the cross base, but now, it has been frozen again." ”
"Why?"
"Want to know?" The blonde boy snorted coldly, "You and I fuse memories, don't you know." ”
"Why does it have to be with me?" He asked.
"You're right, it doesn't have to be you, but, as the next Archon of Huachao City, there are many things you want to know in my memory, and I know no less about the G19 record than the Cross Base."
He was silent, looking out the window at the excessively blue sky, thinking to himself that he really couldn't see that it was virtual.
Dozens of minutes later, the blonde boy got up to leave, and had just walked past the end of the bed when a gust of wind hit behind him, and he grabbed his cloak adorned with ornate gems.
He stared at the blonde boy, his expression was serious, young and old, "...... Whatever your purpose for choosing me, I promise. ”
Looking at his bony fingers pressed against his cloak, the blonde boy smiled, a smile from the heart.
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a sentence.
The boy is as sunny as the wind, and a shallow smile is the trace of the spring breeze.
"I'm Merlot, what's your name?"
He came back to his senses, hesitated, and replied, "Huan." Rejuvenated. ”
A new world, a new self.
"Words, it's rare!" The blonde boy was stunned for a moment, wasn't it all about his father's surname in that era?
"I'm special." He said.
"Yes, you're the only original evolutionary from before the Red Mist Crisis to the present."
"Huh?" Huan was stunned.
"Seventy percent of the first generation of evolutionary species were infected by the red mist, and only thirty percent of the second-generation evolutionary species were infected, while ordinary people were not infected." The blonde boy narrowed his eyes, and a cool color flashed under his eyes, "However, even if you don't get infected, you can't survive in the red mist, and the ground outside is as hard as rocks, and you can't build a city at all." ”
"......" pursed his thin lips, and stopped talking.
Merlot smiled coldly, "You think what I said is wrong because you live in a greenhouse of the past, and when you see the darkness of this era, you will understand my thoughts." ”
The world has long been hopeless.
