Chapter 22: Out of the City

This section of the subway track has not undergone any maintenance half a century ago, so naturally there will be no lights and no clean platform, the train is speeding at top speed, and the broken windows reveal the wind that has been squeezed into a fist, whistling into the carriage, and then crashing away, turning into a messy gale

No one spoke, and although there were still many questions to be asked and answers to be found, no one wanted to care about them at this moment.

They just felt heavy, the kind of heaviness that weighed down their throats

Everyone knows that history will be written by the victors, but when this history is actually put in front of a group of people, it becomes a pot of venom that is difficult to swallow.

Are we living in such a history?

If it's just a war, it's actually acceptable, after all, both sides of the victory and defeat are fighting for their own lives

But what if it's a massacre?

Then there is no glory, no faith, not even the most basic ideals, there are only the purest sins.

And what is even more terrifying is that this sin was easily removed, like the garbage left over from breakfast, like a ball of saliva spit out casually, like a dream that was forgotten in a blink of an eye.

And this garbage, this saliva, this dream contains billions of fresh human lives!

No one is confused about this, no one repents about it, and even, no one remembers.

Those who die in vain will be forever and ever, forever and ever

Death in vain!

After a long time, Quinn's face began to ache in the wind.

"Why do you want to.?" She finally asked.

"Oh?" At this time, Logan was leaning back in the seat and closing his eyes, but he didn't open his eyes, just continued to answer motionlessly, "Do you mean why you washed this memory away?" Didn't you say it before, for the stability of mutant society, if we build a new life through bloody slaughter, then, there will always be people who take it out and comment over and over again, conscience, after being full of wine and food, will always seem very vigorous, so, simply delete all this memory, and then through education and some deception, this false history will be true, so that after a few generations, the fake, it will become completely true, you don't have to think how hateful this is, In fact, we have always used this method to stabilize society, whether it is human or mutant. ”

Quinn was silent for a few seconds: "So, why the massacre?" Why can't mutants and humans live in peace? ”

"What? Hahahaha-" Logan suddenly laughed: "Don't make trouble, mutants are actually not much different from humans except for their abilities, and humans have never coexisted peacefully with other lives!" ”

"No way, we now know how to protect the environment, we value nature, we also have pets, we set up reserves for other life, and we even help them to survive in this world"

"Ahhh Logan interrupted Quinn's words: "That's just enslavement, control, and at most, it's breeding."

As I said earlier, after people are full of wine and food, there will always be a lot of exuberance more than emotion, and we are the gods of this world! We can control the lives of every other species, and I bet with my paws that if one day, cats threaten our place in nature, the next day, there will be no cats left in the world!

In the same way, if humanity threatens the existence of mutants, then it is impossible for them to coexist peacefully, not even for an hour! Oh, we're almost there, you'd better hold on to some handrails."

Logan said suddenly.

The others were a little unresponsive, but they could clearly feel that the speed of the train was starting to drop rapidly, and the sound of the friction between the tracks and the wheels almost made people have to cover their ears.

But even so, everyone still held on to the handrails!

Then

"Boom", the train seems to have hit something, and stopped suddenly, although the speed is already very low, but due to the too large mass, this little bit of speed, the inertia brought out is enough to make people fly out directly!

"Whew, we're here!" Logan breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled out the claws inserted in the wall: "I'm sorry, this kind of train was controlled by one person before, but in the past few years, he is too old and his ability has deteriorated a little, so this often happens when braking"

"Okay." Hannibal's body was still very weak, he couldn't help himself from throwing it out, and then said helplessly: "However, what do you mean when you say that the trains are controlled by one person?" ”

"Literally, he controls the train and takes us all the way here."

"Well, I still don't understand, don't the subways have their own startup procedures?"

Logan smiled: "Haha, I think you may be mistaken, this train has not been running for many years, there is no energy in it, I don't know if the program can be used, but if the original program is really used to drive this subway, it will definitely be discovered!" ”

Hannibal plucked slightly: "No more energy?" ”

"yes, the car wasn't running at all, and the few strokes I fiddled with in the cab just now weren't to get the car to start, but to send a signal to the man that we were in place."

In fact, when it comes to this, everyone still doesn't understand it, and it feels like what Logan said is as if there is a person who is hundreds of kilometers away and uses some force to carry the car in the tunnel.

But it doesn't matter, there are already so many questions in everyone's minds, so it doesn't matter if there is one more.

So without further ado, since the car has stopped, it is natural to get off the car next.

However, the location of this parking was a bit off, not next to the platform, but overdone and parked in the tunnel, so everyone could only grope in the dark for a while before coming to the platform.

Rogan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I said it, that guy is a little old, so the location of the parking is a little bit bad, so please don't mind." ”

With that, he climbed onto the platform

Next, everyone passed through a path dug through the ruins, climbed several flights of stairs, and finally walked out of a subway exit!

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was the ruins of a city, and the kind of ruins that were so ruined that only the residue remained.

Not far away, there are several large craters that seem to have been hit by meteorites, and further away is a broken bridge hidden in the night, with huge steel beams completely toppling and hanging on the piers like death, and the other half of the bridge is gone.

"Look, this is the post-war world, although it's not very beautiful, but at least, there is no radiation, because the human race at that time, not even a single missile came and was launched, or rather, there was no way to launch it, 27 level 4 mutants made all the guided weapons of all countries fail, and I don't know the specific method, but it is said that there are a few people who are powerful, and directly block the signal of the entire Eurasian continent, in short, these ruins you see are all done by mutants! Oh yes, this city used to be called Manhattan, it's not IPZ-127, the number of this city is terrible. Logan said

Although the subway is out of the city, it is obviously not too far from the city, not far away, you can still see the brightly lit IPZ-127, and the sky-like "purification layer" is like a big bowl, upside down above the city.

"But if the 'purification layer' isn't meant to purify radiation, then what is it for?" Quinn couldn't help asking.

"Just in case of us, of course." Logan responded, "Oh no, it's time to say 'let'"

As soon as the words fell, a huge flying machine suddenly broke through the clouds in the sky, and with a small roar, it quickly hovered above everyone's heads.

Then, under the wings, an elevator slowly descended to the ground.

Logan easily walked up the lift, and then beckoned to everyone:

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"

The three Hannibals hesitated, looked back at the familiar and unfamiliar city, and finally followed them onto the elevator.

In fact, if you lower your head slightly, you can see that on the lifting chassis where they are standing, a big character is drawn

“X”。
