Volume 1 The Last Garden of Eden 00001 curtain call
"I think we're friends, we're connected to each other, we have a love-hate relationship...... More real friends! The tone of his uneasy tone, with gestures that could not conceal the emptiness of his heart, although he sat quietly stating himself, in fact even he did not quite believe what he said.
The listener observed the words, but his face was expressionless, he just smiled lightly in response, and asked, "Then what do you still care about?" ”
"What?" The comfortable recliner didn't give him a sense of security, and he sat up, his face turned sideways, and his eyes were puzzled.
"Hehe, I'm being so abrupt, I mean, what makes you feel like what you're doing now might kill the kind of ...... you cherish each other Friendship? ”
"Tsk...... Hiss! Taking a deep breath and gesturing to convey recognition, he thought calmly before suddenly smiling.
The final reply was that a piece of paper was placed in the hands of the listener.
The brow is written bluntly with the reason "Draft on the final disposition of the descendants of the Empire".
Then, though he had probably learned something terrible, the listener remained calm, and only rested his gaze on the instrument for a second, then lowered it, and sat up to face him.
Not accustomed to the proximity of being looked directly into the eyes, he avoided for a moment, and finally calmly looked into the eyes of his listener.
Those eyes that seem to be as blue as the starry sky that can see through everything.
"It's more real, it may just be conveyed from your own heart, and in a way, it's all the result of self-speculation. So ......"
Hearing this "so", his pupils instinctively narrowed a lot.
"So, Mr. Rank, maybe your friend isn't actually your friend! At least it's only in your self-identification, not his! ”
It wasn't the first time I'd heard such an answer, and Lyste Lang laughed, only this time he really laughed happily, disappointed, and miserable.
"So, you've always thought I'm domesticating a beast, and this beast friend of mine is really just me thinking of it as a friend?"
The listener shrugged noncommittally and said, "Who knows, maybe when it's not so hungry, you can put your arm in its mouth with peace of mind, but that doesn't mean it really won't bite!" ”
Ronk understood, stood up, smiled officially, shook hands courteously, and left the elegant room.
The listener took off his mask, closed the door with a grim face and returned to the living room, where he hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
Listening anxiously to the strings of notes that seemed to be separated by a lifetime, cold sweat inevitably flowed from his forehead.
"Hey!"
I don't know how long it took, the phone was finally connected, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go, take them out of there!" All of them! ”
But there were no doubts on the other end of the phone, let alone strange inquiries, just after a quiet while, a low voice came: "I really feel sorry for you...... Doctor! ”
The voice rang out like a death knell.
Time suddenly froze, and it was then that he realized the paperwork that had been "inadvertently" forgotten on the table......
…………
Ronke was three minutes and fifty-two seconds away when there was a muffled sound of falling ground in the locked room.
Then the old butler, who was concentrating on driving, looked in the rearview mirror and said, "The house has been cleaned, sir!" ”
Ranke was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this, he only nodded slightly.
The black convoy slowly moved through the city, no one knew who these people were, what they were going to do, but when passers-by looked over, a solemnity with a bit of mystery surging people's reverie.
…………
"Two hundred and sixty pounds! Kindness...... Thirty-two Sain! The sloppy fat man cared about the price, and didn't care how much hard work was involved in the bloody handprints on the ore.
"What?! Only thirty-two Sain! Cigarette butts, last time two hundred and forty pounds were worth forty sain! The worker who had crawled out of the dark corridor just now complained, feeling that although he had survived and seen the sun, his heart had been sent to hell.
"Humph! The recent deal has not been good, and I don't know how much dirt has been stuffed into this ore by you bastards, and it will be cheaper for you to give you thirty-two sain! Don't waste time, get me the money and get out! ”
The thin worker still wanted to struggle, and in his opinion, even one more sain would be fine, but the cold muzzle of the gun turned to him, and he swallowed the money and squeezed through the crowd and walked silently.
"Next!"
The cigarette butt coughed and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, staring at the pit irritably, but after a long time, he didn't see the next worker crawl out.
So he tilted his head at his men, and the big black man holding the exploiter approached to see that a figure who was shorter than the previous thin worker was struggling to crawl outward, and he looked small because he was kneeling forward, because he was carrying much more things than the others, so he could only use his hands and feet, kneel on his knees, and slowly climb upward.
And it was clear that the light was in front of him, and there was only less than four or five meters left, but it was extremely far away for this thin figure.
The big black man seemed to recognize the man, and after hesitating for a moment, he peeked at the boss who was drinking water, walked down the pit quickly, and raised his hand to help him drag the minerals out of the pit pit .
The dust had obscured his appearance, and he was covered in mud and dirt, but his eyes were shiny and his chapped lips were covered in blood, and he said thank you hoarsely, and pushed the minecart onto the scale alone.
The cigarette butt never looked at the appearance of the worker, only stared at the blood-red number in front of him.
Then his eyes widened and he muttered, "Uh...... Four...... Four hundred...... Four hundred and fifty-five pounds? How can it be!? ”
The workers who were waiting for others around them also stood up in surprise, and only a few people in the corner smiled habitually.
"Brother Sen is still so powerful, and he can drag something of more than 400 catties!"
"That's, Brother Sen, after all! And Brother Sen is not as good as us, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, it is reasonable for him to work so hard! ”
"Yo, listening to what you say, it seems that if you give your whole wife, you can also drag out 400 catties of mine!"
"Uh...... Hehe...... I don't have the ability to marry a wife! ”
And when they heard this, they all laughed.
The cigarette butt on the other side was still surprised, but after seeing the appearance of the worker dragging out the ore, he was silent.
He sat down and counted, and said, "Four hundred and fifty-five pounds, fifty-six sain!" ”
The unkempt Lin Sen took the money, didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the mountain through the crowd.
A few people in the corner saw that Lin Sen was gone, and they also hurriedly followed.
Although Lin Sen knew this group of people, he was actually not very familiar with them, and the reason why they would wait for Lin Sen to go with them was not purely out of feelings, because in the depths of the mine far away from the dome building, only Lin Sen and his party had never had an accident, and this was really very rare and strange without weapon protection, because even those bloodthirsty beasts hiding in the depths of the mountains and rivers were not a single one.
So gradually, more and more people chose to go home with Lin Sen.
Now it has reached more than a dozen in a line.
Because he had long been accustomed to Lin Sen's quiet appearance, no one bothered him on the road.
Lin Sen didn't speak to them, but walked silently at the front, and when he got to the familiar place to wash off the dirt and change his clothes, everyone became cautious, because not far ahead was the Dome of Cerberus, and on its periphery were countless slums, and before entering these parasitic slums, there was a surveillance barrier patrolled by the Freedom Wings of the Union.
Although the towering surveillance barrier is not as impressive as the Wall of Sighs, it is still an impossible task to climb over it, so Lin Sen and his party have only one way to get through it, and that is to drill through a tunnel dug by the cannibal skull, and find the exact time to avoid the patrols of the coalition guards.
"Hurry up, everyone! In ten minutes, the Union patrols will be back, and the skull should wake up after sunset! The oldest middle-aged man in the team urged, but it was still Lin Sen who was at the forefront, the first to burrow into the pit dug by the sand skull.
After about ten minutes of groping in the dark, a sound of "dingding" came from near and far. Lin Sen was the first to pass through the ten-meter-thick fence, and then took a step through the empty surveillance area as fast as he could, running to a safe place.
Then the second, then the third......
As the number of people gradually increased, and the gradually clear sound of "ding ding ding" deceleration, the people who were still in the pit began to become impatient.
"Damn, hurry up! They're coming, and I don't want to stay here for another half hour! ”
But no matter how much he urged, the second half of the tunnel dug by hand could only accommodate one person crawling forward, so when the last person climbed out of the tunnel, the smile on his face was not yet full, and he heard someone in the distance shouting at him: "Squat down!" The patrol train of the ENC is coming! ”
Then, before the poor creature could hide, the blinding lights shrouded in, and in the empty surveillance area, the limping guy who was limping around the vines in the pit seemed to suddenly become a big star, surrounded by lights!
He smiled miserably and spit out a few words: "Take care of my brother!" ”
Slowly turning around, it became the attention of the desolate place.
Then, just a moment later, a rainbow flashed, and a sharp roar came, and he turned into a cloud of blood mist and exploded, and the people hiding in the shadows did not hear even the slightest sound of him, and one person just dissipated, and then the lights were removed, and the ball came to an end.
As a series of tinkling sounds gradually accelerated, the patrol train began to move slowly......
Everyone was stunned for a while, and then there were a few sighs, some laughed at themselves, some smacked their lips, only Lin Sen didn't look back indifferently, he walked silently in the distance, because not far away was his home.
