Chapter 160: Say hello to my 17-year-old self for me
11 months is a long time for a game, but it's a short time for life.
In that small apartment of less than sixty square meters, Zhang Heng has experienced the four seasons, and he is already familiar with almost every corner, knows where each piece of furniture is placed, knows how many layers of milk and eggs are in the refrigerator, knows which cat food the little crocodile likes the most, and knows that the old TV in front of the sofa will automatically turn off when the ball game is intense......
Zhang Heng also proposed to buy a new one to replace it, he made a lot of money from the fox, and this money could not bring out a parallel copy, as a black household without an identity, he could not spend much money, but this proposal was rejected by the little boy without hesitation, on the grounds that the newly produced TVs have microcomputers and can be connected to the Internet.
This means that they will be connected to CTOS.
Speaking of which, this is also the strangest copy of Zhang Heng's feelings, obviously coming to the future, but except for learning skills, he rarely comes into contact with electronic products in daily life, and the little boy also chooses a place far away from home when he is teaching in actual combat.
Therefore, in addition to watching TV, old movies and playing Tetris together, the entertainment activities of the two are only those rambling chatters, the little boy especially likes when it rains, whenever the sky is overcast, she will make some drinks or something, occasionally she will bake some cookies in advance when she has more time, and then eat cookies to the sound of the rain outside the window.
Zhang Heng didn't know how many cookies the little boy had eaten on a rainy day in the same position and in the same posture before he arrived.
Just like few people know, there is still a group of people in this city who are fighting for justice in their hearts.
There are fewer and fewer members in 01, and some people choose to quit silently because they can't bear the huge pressure, or because they have been wiped out by the long struggle, after all, there are many other things to worry about in life besides the pursuit of justice and justice.
Parents, Partners, Children, Friends...... Everything has to be put into enough energy, when the ideal ebb and flow, everyone has to face the reality, when the people around them have become more and more accustomed to the existence of CTOS, and even can't do without CTOS, the victory of the black nest is decided, not everyone is as obsessed with distinguishing between right and wrong as a little boy.
With the departure of the old man, coupled with the lack of fresh blood, it seems that the demise of 01 is now only a matter of time.
Perhaps when the veterans of LÊa, Little Boy, and Semi-Prime Numbers grow old, no one will remember that they ever fought.
During this period, Zhang Heng also participated in several 01 operations as a foreign aid, but even with his ability, there is not much that can be done, after more than ten years of crazy expansion, the black nest has completely expanded into a behemoth, and an intertwined interest relationship has been formed internally, and even the creator of CTOS has also lost control of it, it is no longer something that one or a few people can control, and similarly, no one can stop.
However, Zhang Heng's information and communication, Internet intrusion and defense, electronic equipment transformation and anti-tracking skills have all been improved to varying degrees, and finally merged into a lv2 geek skill.
This is also his biggest takeaway from this parallel dungeon.
Seeing that this parallel dungeon is coming to an end in a month, it's finally time to say goodbye.
"Are you leaving?" The little boy leaned in front of the kitchen counter, holding a cup of coffee.
"Yes, thank you for taking me in for so long and teaching me so much, I'm almost going back to my parallel universe." Zhang Heng said, he bought a suitcase from a department store and collected all the things he needed on the road.
"How much longer?"
"It's less than a month, but I have a few other things to do before I leave." Zhang Heng said, he plans to use the rest of the time to go to Grenoble, inspect the ski resort there in advance, improve the plan to take Lea away, and also plan to try to see if he can sneak into the inside of the black nest to get more information.
Of course, considering the danger of the latter, he also put this operation last.
"You said that Edward was still alive when you came, and the Black Nest hadn't killed him yet, although I still don't believe your parallel universe nonsense, but suppose ...... I'm talking about the assumption that if you go back and stop CTOS with 01 13 years ago, what will happen to the world I'm in? â
"I don't know," Zhang Heng said, "I used to go back to the past, and I have never been to the future, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation, but ......" Zhang Heng paused, "but I guess, whether I succeed or not, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again." â
This parallel dungeon is based on the future without player activities, in other words, even if this round of the game is over, Zhang Heng uses the permission of an additional round of the game, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the little boy at this time again.
Therefore, Zhang Heng didn't know what eleven months was, a hallucination? But obviously he can clearly remember every day, remember every detail, the 29-year-old boy standing in front of him at this moment is so real, every frown she makes, those habitual little movements, are telling him that the experience is real.
"I understand." The little boy took a sip of coffee and his expression remained unchanged, "Pack up and go to bed early, you're on your way tomorrow." â
"Hmm."
The little boy's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Heng imagined, and she even calculated the cost of tomorrow's breakfast in advance and settled the rent, water and electricity with Zhang Heng.
The broadcast on the TV said that there would be heavy rain in the urban area after 0:00 tonight, reminding the citizens to take care of the doors and windows, in order not to disturb Zhang Heng's rest, the little boy did not sit under the window and listen to the rain as usual.
After the two exchanged goodnights, the little boy returned to the bedroom.
The living room fell into darkness, Zhang Heng divided half of the money earned during this time, put it under the little crocodile's bed, and then climbed onto the sofa and closed his eyes.
When he was halfway through his sleep, he vaguely felt something more on his waist, Zhang Heng thought it was a little crocodile that climbed up again, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the face of a little boy.
The latter had already taken off his pajamas at some point, rode on top of him, and reached out to cover his mouth.
"Shhhh The little boy said, leaning down at the same time.
Outside the window, the torrential rain came as promised, the wind blew the leaves of the trees, the shadows of the trees shook in front of the window, the sign of the diagonal convenience store was blown into the sky, and the blue lightning pierced the night, and the whole world looked like it was about to be completely flooded.
