Chapter 146: The Cage
Li Han frowned pantingly, looking at Li Tianzhi who was muttering to himself, the crackling, burning body made him unable to get close even a step.
It feels so weird, it feels like this guy is hell-bent on dying!
"You?"
As soon as Li Han wanted to open his mouth to ask, he was interrupted by Li Tianzhi, he actually laughed in the flames, but a robot laughed, which was really weird.
"Hehe, finally, finally, everything is finally free!"
"Relief?" Li Han slowly put down the energy gun in his hand and asked puzzledly.
Ignoring the scorching flames all over his body, Li Tianzhi sat down slowly, and a smile was actually drawn on the mechanical face.
"Li Han, let me ask you, what is eternal life?"
"Eternal life? Aren't you eternal life? Li Han frowned, looked at Li Tianzhi, and slowly sat down.
"Me!" The crackling flames were still burning, but Li Tianzhi nodded slowly, and shook his head mechanically, "Yes and no!" ”
"For a long time, I have been working on research that frees people from diseases, but no matter how hard I tried, it was clear that this was an impossible dream!"
"The human body is too fragile to resist all kinds of diseases and even death!"
"So, I gave up!"
"But... Disaster has struck, have you ever seen that kind of disaster? There is no heaven and earth, no mountain flood roaring, it comes quietly, and when you come back to your senses, he has occupied every corner of the whole world! ”
"Countless people have died tragically in front of you, the elderly, children, men, women, including the people you love the most, including the people closest to you!"
"Wailing is everywhere, and pain pervades the whole land!"
Speaking of this, Li Tianzhi's voice dropped a little, I don't know if it was because of the flames, or because this unconscious robot suddenly had feelings!
Listening to Li Tianzhi's words quietly, Li Han seemed to have returned to the time when the eternal day disaster had just befallen this world.
Of course, he can imagine that he has already experienced the pain of the collapse of the human world when two disasters befell him, the struggle of humanity, the experience of dying to survive, but I don't know how many more times he will go through it?
"At that time, I thought that if the experiment could be successfully completed, the human body would be stronger, more drought-tolerant, and more resistant to the environment, so that maybe people could survive this disaster!"
"It's just that the previous thinking needs to be changed, and the biological transformation needs to be changed in a different direction, and at that time, an article attracted my attention!"
"On the effect of semi-mechanical transformation on the human body, and whether there is a possibility of immortality!"
"Mechanical transformation, this is something I didn't expect before, at this moment I feel a new door opening for me!"
"I released Guan Weiyu and funded him to study this project, I handed over the entire Shelter 99 to him, and I asked him to do some crazy experiments!"
"I had only one purpose at that time, to complete this experiment, at all costs!"
Speaking of this, Li Han interrupted loudly, "At all costs? What innocent lives are included? Are you saving people or killing people? And in the end, I didn't see your research results shared with everyone! ”
Wang Qi and Ma Ao and the dead who surrounded them, they have been buried forever under that shelter, they did not die in disaster, but in human greed.
In an instant of silence, Li Tianzhi opened his mouth, was silent again, and finally replied in a low voice, "Yes, this is killing people, from the beginning to the result, it has completely deviated from my original intention, completely deviating from my thoughts as a human being!" ”
"But can you understand the feeling of having your wife and son die in front of you and be powerless?"
"I hate this sky, I hate this earth, I hate this world!"
"I hate everything, so when Guan Weiyu's research was successful, I, I first transformed myself!"
"Heh, the result was beyond my expectations, quite successful!"
Speaking of this, the corners of Li Tianzhi's mechanical mouth seemed to be hooked higher, and the smile was in the flames, Li Han looked at a little weird distortion, and he didn't know if he was mocking or laughing for a while.
"Quite a success, ah!"
Muttering to himself again, Li Tianzhi suddenly fell silent, and at this time, there was only the sound of flames crackling and burning, and the rumbling sound of huge air currents emitted from the entire stone castle floating in the air.
"So, why the hell did you kill yourself? Are you already so successful? Li Tianzhi's whole body had become extremely scorched, and Li Han didn't expect that the mechanical prosthetic that he had transformed would have such a strong burning effect.
"Success?" Li Tianzhi's mechanical voice was mixed with a hint of doubt or rebuttal.
He shook his head slowly, "Yes, it is very successful, eternal life is within reach, not afraid of any changes in the environment, no fear of any shortage of materials, and even completely rid of any needs of the human body, no desire, no fear, no need, no want!" ”
"So, Li Han, let me ask you, what am I?"
"I don't need anything, I don't need anything, why do I still live in this world!"
For a while, Li Han was stopped by Li Tianzhi's question, why do people live in this world?
Is it just because you're alive?
"Human beings live in this world because of all their needs, they need to eat, they need to drink, they need love, they need to go through pain, they need to feel everything in the world, this is human beings!"
"And after the transformation, I don't need to eat, I don't need to drink, I don't need love, and I have abandoned all painful feelings, and I have lived like a stone, no, not alive, but simply existed for decades!"
"You can understand the pain, no, I don't even feel the pain, I don't even feel anything anymore!"
"I can't feel anything, can this still be called alive?"
"Being alive is already a term far from me!"
"So, eternal life, is this eternal life?"
Li Han looked at Li Tianzhi, who had already burned half of his body, and shook his head slowly, he felt that this was not immortality, this was simply like a cage that could never escape.
Not being able to feel anything, not needing anything, what's the difference between that and dying?
"I made mistakes again and again, and walked on a path from which there was no turning back, and when I finished the first year of transformation, I thought of suicide, alas, alas!"
"You're too late, it's too late, and I don't know if Ah Lian and Xiaobao have been waiting for me down there?"
"I made them wait too... Long... up..."
Li Tianzhi's voice gradually deepened!
