Qin Yingzhou fell ill, and in the past three years, Yuan Suping's disappearance had already made him feel numb to pain, and he didn't want to feel it. Yuan Suping's return was like a dream, a short dream, and now that he woke up from the dream, his heart and liver were torn apart again. He was half-reclining, leaning against the back of the bed, staring blankly out of the window.

Qiao Zhiyue bought some quick-frozen dumplings from the supermarket, added mineral water, put them in the microwave oven and cooked them, and brought them to Qin Yingzhou.

"Eat some, it's not a way to get hungry like this!"

Qin Yingzhou turned a deaf ear.

"I'm so stupid! How could the NSA accept a Martian so easily...... Why can't I think that Zhao Chenyu is a fake?! I'm sorry! Qiao Zhiyue put the dumplings aside and sat down next to Qin Yingzhou, "I framed her, she didn't embarrass me at all, she wanted to kill me, in fact, it was too easy!" ”

"I don't blame you...... It's me who is so useless! Qin Yingzhou muttered to herself, "Just watching her ...... like this"

"Dr. Qin, I went to the cave to take a look, Yuan Suping's body is no longer there!" Zhao Chenyu strode into the door and saw Qin Yingzhou blurting out.

Qin Yingzhou looked at Zhao Chenyu with a smile, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak, and his painful expression could no longer be hidden.

"Can you take care of the family's feelings?!" Qiao Zhiyue pulled Zhao Chenyu aside and said in a low voice.

"It's all at this time, what are you afraid of! The more this time, the more we have to be sober, and the most important thing now is to figure out what those Martians are going to do and how they plan to do it, so that we can stop them in the first place! Zhao Chenyu deliberately raised his voice, "What's the use of grief?" We who are police officers have to face life and death almost every day! Sad, sad come?! When did we not wipe off the blood, bury the corpses, and go back to war? ”

"Enough! We're not the police! ”

"Then be a cop! The terrorists we are facing now are not people, they are ghosts, no, they are more difficult than ghosts! That's it, how can you fight them! ”

"Get me out!" Qiao Zhiyue was on fire, and he couldn't care so much, so he shouted loudly.

"Okay, don't quarrel...... Qin Yingzhou grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, "Officer Zhao is right, it's useless to be sad, how do you want to deal with them, what do you need me to do?" ”

"Are you alright?" Zhao Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay."

"Okay, let's go back to the command center immediately, Ren Zhonghui is already waiting there, he has something to tell you." After Zhao Chenyu finished speaking, he strode towards the door.

Qiao Zhiyue went over to help Qin Yingzhou, Qin Yingzhou waved his hand, got out of bed by himself, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt as if he was stepping on cotton, and he barely stood firm after a few struggles. Qiao Zhiyue watched from the sidelines, his face worried.

"Let's go." Qin Yingzhou said to Qiao Zhiyu, "Don't worry, I'm really fine!" ”

The sun went west, the sad day passed, Xiangsheng entered the rest pod early, today is the day when his consciousness returns to Mars, at this time he should press the red button in front of him, so that his consciousness will be temporarily disconnected from Huilong's body. But he looked at the red button, and an hour had passed, and he could clearly hear the ticking of the second hand of the watch, and his hand was on the button, but he didn't have the courage to press it......

"Xiangsheng, you get back for me!"

Yuanlu's voice came from his ears, and then Xiangsheng felt that his consciousness was collapsing from Huilong's body, slowly condensing into a stream of particles, passing through the dark tunnel and returning to his body.

Xiangsheng woke up in a square life-saving box filled with life-saving liquid, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he was pulled out of the life-saving box by Yuan Lu, who was full of anger. Yuan Lu's body was also covered in life lotion, and he had just woken up from the life box next to him. It was a huge underground storeroom with rows of steel shelves up to the ceiling, on which large and small life-saving boxes were stored. The survival box is filled with life support fluid, the large one contains the whole Martian body, and the small one contains the Martian head. Each survival box is connected to a power cable and a data cable, and inside there are countless filaments of light dissolved into the skull.

"Why did you kill Su Ping, why?!"

Yuan Lu smashed a fist on Xiangsheng's face, and Xiangsheng took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

"Why? You ask them! Xiangsheng said with a life-saving box densely stored around his fingers. They have been waiting like the living dead for 3,000 years, and finally wait for the day when earth technology can support information colonization......"

"That can't be at the expense of Su Ping!"

"At whose expense? Take them?! Xiangsheng ran around the shelves like crazy, patting the survival boxes one by one, "Which one?" You said! You said! Which one are you going to sacrifice?! Su Ping is your daughter, aren't they your people? ”

Yuan Lu's legs were weak, and he held the life-saving box weakly with both hands, and slowly sat on the ground.

"Do you think I want to kill Su Ping? I have more heartache than you! You are only his nominal father, I am her real father! Tears flowed from the corners of Xiangsheng's eyes, and he quickly wiped them away.

"Thank you for surviving!" Yuan Lu said expressionlessly, "But if I had known, I would have faced these life-saving boxes every day, faced with these living dead, faced with 3,000 years, and had to go through so much pain and helplessness...... I'd rather be consumed by fire at that moment! ”

"Mr. Archon......"

"Don't call it that!" Yuan Lu smiled bitterly, "Call me Yuan Lu...... If you have to add a title, call me Grave Keeper! ”

"Don't be so pessimistic, this is not the tomb of the living dead, it's Noah's Ark! Soon, all of us will have a new body and live happily ever after on Earth......"

"The price of our lives is the death of the people of the earth...... That's not what I was trying to ......."

"Survival is more important than anything else! Survival is the instinct of animals, listen to instinct...... There is nothing to be ashamed of! ”

"Hehe, then how are we, as human beings, different from beasts?"

"First as a beast, then as a man."

"From beast to man is evolution, from man to beast, what is it?" Yuan Lu got up and pointed to the survival boxes, "Are they willing to do this?" They are all citizens, can we call the shots for them? ”

"I don't know, I don't want to know, what I want to do is to let the Martians continue! It's also your responsibility, and as long as you're alive, you have to do it! ”

"Kill me!"

"I can't decide your life or death!" Xiangsheng took out a dagger and handed it to Yuan Lu, "If you want to die, go die, living is not necessarily better than dying, if you want to die, I won't stop you!" ”

Yuan Lu took the dagger and put it on his neck, but his hand was trembling, trembling more and more violently, and finally the dagger fell to the ground.
