Chapter 8 What do you want in life?

"How could a person like you die so easily, and if he hadn't died, where would he be now, according to your habits." Leng Ruyue muttered to herself softly, as if she had thought of something, got up and glanced at the restaurant, and then smiled.

"And a little brain." Chu Xiang said expressionlessly.

Leng Ruyue smiled proudly, her pale face looked a little distressing, but Chu Xiang didn't look at her, and she didn't mean to feel distressed.

"Waiter."

"Hello." The waiter came over.

"Arrange for her to go to the hospital for surgery." Chu Xiang said to the waiter.

"Yes, sir." The waiter's attitude became more respectful, after all, it is not the poor who have the money to go to the hospital for surgery.

"I want her to recover as soon as possible." Chu Xiangdao.

"As you wish." The waiter was more respectful and took out the message reader: "Please verify your identity." ”

After swiping his fingerprint on the information reader, the waiter looked at the displayed information and said respectfully: "You wait, arrange it immediately." ”

Leng Ruyue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Chu Xiang to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital, and at this time she really determined Chu Xiang's attitude towards herself, sat down opposite Chu Xiang, asked the waiter to bring the things from the No. 14 platform, and then glared at Chu Xiang and said, "Do you think this kind of game is very interesting?" ”

Chu Xiang looked at Leng Ruyue expressionlessly, and said, "Out of a hundred points, your score is 50 points." Calm, thinking, judging, acting, nothing satisfies me, and I don't mind disposing of the waste. ”

Leng Ruyue opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but looking at Chu Xiang's eyes without the slightest emotion, knowing that according to his request, she was indeed far behind, and swallowed back what she wanted to say, and lost the courage to refute, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”

While the two were talking, the handsome man who helped Leng Ruyue buy medicine came back, found that Leng Ruyue was no longer there, glanced at the restaurant, and found that Leng Ruyue was sitting in front of Chu Xiang, raised his eyebrows, and walked over.

"Beauty, what you want." The handsome man glanced at Chu Xiang and handed the thing to Leng Ruyue Dao.

"No thanks." Leng Ruyue said in a blunt tone, she was a little angry, not angry with Chu Xiang, but angry with herself.

"Your wound needs to be treated, and if it gets infected, it's a big problem." The handsome man said, his tone was gentle, and he put the medicine on the table.

Leng Ruyue glanced at the handsome man and did not speak.

"Hello sir, the ambulance has arrived." At this time, the waiter next to him said respectfully to Chu Xiang.

Hearing the waiter's words, the handsome man looked at Chu Xiang in surprise, there are more than three million people in Wucheng, and there are not many who can afford to use an ambulance.

"Go." Chu Xiangdao.

"Hmm." Leng Ruyue nodded obediently and followed the waiter out.

"Girl, please come here." The waiter flattered and led the way.

The ambulance stopped at the door of the restaurant, and Leng Ruyue got into the car and left, not glancing at the handsome man.

Sending Leng Ruyue to the car, the waiter returned to the restaurant and said to Chu Xiang: "Sir, it has been arranged, and the hospital will contact you later." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Chu Xiang nodded.

"It's my pleasure to serve you." The waiter bowed.

The waiter's respectful attitude surprised the handsome man, and after the waiter left, the handsome man said to Chu Xiang, "Can I sit down?" ”

"No, you can't." Chu Xiang said without hesitation.

"That's a shame." The handsome man smiled bitterly, he didn't get angry because he was rejected, and he was very well-cultivated.

Chu Xiang stopped talking, lowered his head to eat, and the handsome man didn't dwell too much, and walked away with interest.

After sitting for a while, Leng Ruyue's diagnosis and treatment report was sent, Chu Xiang looked at it, and it was conservatively estimated that it would take three days to recover his combat effectiveness, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Three days, it seems like a long three days, I finally found one thing to do, and now I have nothing to do, which makes Chu Xiang very uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, I can't think of how to pass the time of these three days.

If you don't have a goal, you don't know what to do, it's a terrible thing, it's like falling off a cliff with one foot in the air. Before this, Chu Xiang had never felt like this, looking for his younger brother, looking for his murderer, looking for his sister, looking for his brother-in-law, always in a non-stop busy, now that these have been done, there is no goal to continue running, and his heart is empty, just like the engine has run out of fuel and can no longer start.

In this post-upheavalous world, stopping means death, and only those who want to die do nothing. For most people, food and clothing is a big problem, but for Chu Xiang, there is no such problem, with his strength, there is no need to worry about this problem, there are few people in this world who can threaten him, so he can occasionally stop and look at this cruel world, if he can't stop, there will be no such empty feeling.

"Probably, it's called loneliness." Chu Xiang sighed, ate all the food on the table, asked the waiter to arrange a room, and slept with his head covered.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Chu Xiang couldn't sleep, so he had to get up, have breakfast in the restaurant, stay for a while, and finally decided to take a walk on the street and stroll.

At five or six o'clock in the morning, the sky is just dawning, there are already many people on the street, most of the shops have already opened for business, and after a while, it is the peak season for mutant beasts to forage, and people who have no money and no surplus food must prepare to go out to hunt early.

The consumption of millions of people in a day is a huge number, only a small number of people can not worry about food and drink, if they want to live, they have to go out every day to fight with fierce beasts, get food to survive, but not everyone has the ability to go out to hunt for food on their own. In order to ensure the supply of food, the military government will formulate a variety of action plans to go out to obtain food every day, those who are relatively weak and cannot go out to hunt for food on their own, after passing the test of the army, they can sign up to participate in various hunting operations, and the army will ensure the food supply during the operation, and there will be corresponding remuneration after the action plan is achieved.

Going out to hunt and participating in military operations is not the only option, among these millions of people, a large part of the people have formed various gang alliances, the leaders of these gangs will also organize members to get food, their situation is better than those stragglers, these gangs are more famous in the mountain guest alliance, the white mountain alliance, the Tianshan alliance, the Beijing-Tianjin alliance, the grassland alliance, the Buddha Society, as well as the South Shaolin, North Shaolin, Wudang, Nanhua Temple, Taijimen, Bagua faction, Xingyi League and other factions. In addition to grabbing territory, they will often organize members to go out to hunt for food to ensure the food supply of gang members, and at the same time exercise the combat power of members, so that gang members can play their respective roles.

As the largest city in the south, the most populous city in the country in winter, under the pressure of food, the situation in Wucheng is complicated, the dark tide is undulating, and there are fights and killings everywhere, fortunately, under the strong suppression of the military government, the city is relatively calm, at least dare not blatantly kill, if it is really a big hatred, can not get off the stage, then it will be put down the ring, sign the life and death status, decide the victory or defeat in a battle, find the field, as for how to fight in the secret is another story.

With the development and improvement of Wucheng, the way of life and death, the way to solve the problem in the ring is becoming more and more popular, and the military government also acquiesces in this way to solve the problem, after the matter is big, basically all the gangs will solve it in this way, after all, it is not beneficial for both sides to pull the elite people to fight outside the city, it will only let others sit and reap the benefits. Personal grievances are even simpler, as long as there is a patrol to witness, there can be a life-and-death fight on the spot.

In the past two years, Wucheng has gradually developed and improved, and the management methods of the military government have gradually matured, unlike the rules and regulations before the great change, the streets and alleys are plastered, and all kinds of special professions have swarmed out, and everyone can find their own place in this chaotic world.

Battles that come to the fore will be settled in the ring, but some shady things will always be carried out in secret, so the profession of killer flourishes, and the profession of bounty hunter prospers. Killers are not a profession recognized by the military government, but bounty hunters are legitimate professions, and the military government will post information on all wanted criminals on its official website, and after the bounty hunter captures or kills the wanted criminal, he can go to the junta's administration office with valid evidence to receive the reward.

Wucheng is very big, so big that it is beyond Chu Xiang's imagination, Chu Xiang does not spend much time in Wucheng, only occasionally comes to Wucheng in the past half a year, and generally eats and sleeps at the action station near the city gate, and then leaves, and has not really visited Wucheng at all.

The brightly lit streets are full of people haggling for all sorts of things in addition to the dazzling goods in the shops, and there are many people selling all kinds of things on the side of the road. The streets were bustling with all kinds of people, including mutants who wrapped their whole bodies, mutants who directly exposed their mutations, and half of the survivors were affected by radiation, and all kinds of strange mutant tumors grew on their bodies, some of which were disgusting to look at.

Chu Xiang walked around for less than five minutes, and then he encountered two teams of patrols with loaded guns passing by, the patrol density was extremely high, but it was clear when you thought about it, there were more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops stationed in the city, some of them went out to hunt for food, some were responsible for external security, and the rest of those who had nothing to do had to let them keep patrolling, consuming their energy, and at the same time deterring those who were restless, ensuring the safety and prosperity of Wucheng.

After walking for several streets, Chu Xiang didn't see anything interesting, nor did he see an interesting person. After all, so many people are shopping for goods every day, how can there be any good things left, and the people in those gangs are also looking for good seedlings everywhere, people with potential, absorbed into their own gangs, it is not easy to find someone with potential like Leng Ruyue.

From time to time, there were groups of people with knives and guns going to the city gate, and there were also many idle people like Chu Xiang who were wandering around at will, looking left and right, to see if there was anything worth starting.

When he walked to the top of the mountain, Chu Xiang finally saw an interesting person, an old man with gray hair and a rickety body. The old man was setting up a stall, and what he was selling was very interesting, a stack of drawings. There are not many old people in this world who can survive until now, and even fewer live by setting up stalls to sell these strange things.

The old man shrank at the base of the wall, the drawings in front of him were pressed with stones, no one stopped in front of him, his eyes were stunned and looked at the white snow under the mountain, and his blurred eyes may have long been out of this world.

Chu Xiang squatted down, picked up the drawings pressed by the stone and looked at it, it turned out to be a very interesting thing.

"Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan." Chu Xiang called three times before the old man returned to his soul, and the final payment of the drawing was Duan Meng, which should be the name of this old man.

"Uh-oh." The old man's misty eyes returned to clarity, and he turned his head to look at Chu Xiang.

"How do you sell these things?" Chu Xiang asked.

"Can you read it?" The old man rubbed his forehead fiercely.

"Half and half." Chu Xiangdao.

"Forget it then." Duan Meng waved his hand unintentionally.

"If I can understand everything, why should I buy it, just read it and leave." Chu Xiangdao.

"That's too." Duan Meng laughed a little embarrassedly twice.

"Some time ago, I saw a situation in one place that you described above." Chu Xiangdao.

"Oh! Where is it? Duan Meng's eyes lit up, "Let's take a look." ”

Chu Xiang took out his mobile phone, opened a picture, and showed it to Duan Meng.

Duan Meng took the phone and zoomed it in to the maximum, looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a full five minutes before he looked up and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

"I kind of don't understand your theory, what is the reason for this situation." Chu Xiangdao.

"To give a simple example, like the ozone hole in Antarctica, there was no such hole, but due to various reasons, the ozone layer was destroyed, so there was a hole. In the same way, the earth's space was originally stable and uniform, but due to the impact of nuclear war, the earth's surface space is no longer uniformly stable, so things like holes exist. Duan Meng said.

"But what is this thing that affects the stability and uniformity of space?" Chu Xiang asked.

"Entropy."
