Chapter 539: Recruiting roommates, requiring children under 20 years old
On Fifth Avenue, Russell is invited by Robert to get in a car, a large-sized Ford SUV that is perfect for transporting the essentials of life in the empty city.
The brand new Audi R8 was thrown away, not because it wasn't beautiful enough, but because there were only two seats, and Sam couldn't be allowed to lie on the roof!
Robert's face was swollen, and he had an intoxicated expression that I was in pain, but I was comfortable: "Dude, New York is my territory, you don't have to be restrained when you get here, just go back to your own home." ”
Human beings are social creatures, afraid of loneliness, and are willing to give up individuality in order to follow commonality in order to pursue social identity.
This is especially true of Robert, who has not communicated with anyone for three years, who has not stopped talking since he got in the car, and in order to get Russell's approval, he is eager to share everything about himself.
"This is Fifth Avenue, the busiest shopping street in New York, and it's now my back garden. What do you prefer, gold or diamonds? I'll take you there, pick slowly, and take as much as you want......"
Russell was different from Robert, he had not tasted the loneliness of not seeing a living person for three years, but he felt that thousands of flies were buzzing in his ears, and he was annoyed by the noise.
"Russell, my good brother, are you listening to me?"
"Nope!"
"Hahaha, you're so humorous! Since you're listening, I'm going to move on......"
The number of flies has increased again, and for the first time Russell knows that men can be so verbose, so he looks out the window helplessly, and the broken posters flash by the street.
The poster has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, the original colorful faded, leaving only the gray and white tones, and it can be vaguely seen that there is a butterfly with open wings painted on it, and the text printed in the bottom corner of the poster: God still loves us!
Russell has seen the movie, two versions, two different endings, and knows that butterflies have extremely deep meanings.
As for symbolizing the rebirth of the cocoon, the rebirth of the human race, or the rebirth of the night demon; Or is it a symbol of destruction, where God loves humanity but does not have mercy on humanity for his own death?
At this point, the benevolent and the wise have their own opinions, Russell did not comment, he only knew...... Robert really said a lot of words, so he wanted to draw a gun and shoot him on the spot.
As he said, Russell took out the sand eagle and pointed at Robert: "BB again, I'll blow your dog's head!" ”
"Wow!"
Sam in the back row whined twice, and Russell took out another sand eagle and aimed his gun at it: "You are the same, if you hum again, you will blow your dog's head." ”
Robert raised his hand and made a zipper gesture to signal that he would not talk nonsense again, and he was not angry at all when he was pointed at the head at gunpoint, and even wanted to do it again.
The car continued to drive, and after two minutes, Robert couldn't help it, looked at Russell in confusion, raised his hand and honked the radio horn.
"If anyone can hear, anyone, I can provide food and water, provide safe ......"
Russell stretched out his hand to turn off the broadcast, and when he saw Robert scratching his ears and cheeks, compassion came up, and he gave him two nonsense words: "Man, don't let it go, you must know that there is no one else in New York except you." ”
"Isn't there still you?"
Robert immediately retorted: "If I hadn't insisted on broadcasting the radio every day, I would have missed the meeting with you, so I firmly believe that there are more lonely people in the world, they are struggling to die, they need companions, they need communication, even if they ...... Just a broadcast. ”
I'm an exception!
Russell shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Robert's aggrieved little eyes blinking, and then realized that he said that he wanted to get a caring greeting.
"Uh, hard work......"
The atmosphere suddenly became grounded!
Russell shuddered and changed the topic abruptly: "Man, change your radio language, your mood is too pessimistic, no one will pay attention to you." ”
Robert was upset that he didn't get the greeting he wanted, but he continued to talk about Russell.
"Change to what?"
Russell looked serious: "Recruit roommates, under 20 years old, angel face, devil figure, can do laundry, cook, make beds and fold quilts......"
Robert's mouth opened wide, and in shock, the steering wheel almost didn't grip, and it was thankful that he could find an inflatable one at the end of the world, and he still asked for so much.
Robert wanted to say a shameless word, but he hadn't seen a living person for three years, so he was afraid that Russell would abandon him in a fit of anger, so he could only throw away the temperance and pander: "I understand, in fact, I also like this tune." I know there's a video store that sells all kinds of exciting discs, and I've relied on it for the past three years to get to where I am now, so I'm going to take you to see it. ”
As he spoke, Robert squeezed his eyebrows, looking obscene as a passerby.
"Hey, hey, hey......" X2
Russell was about to say yes, when he suddenly remembered something, slapped Robert on the thigh, and said angrily: "Robert, I misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and your heart is so dirty!" ”
Robert: "......"
"I remember you telling me that you were a scientist who studied viruses......"
"Well, I didn't say that!"
"Shut up, you have!"
"Well, I said it."
Russell hated it, and his tone was impassioned: "Robert, do you know that you are wasting time!" As a virus vaccine expert, you may well be the only survivor of humanity who can reverse the virus and bring new life to all of humanity. As a result, what have you done in the past three years? Video stores, still nervous and exciting, are you worthy of the six billion dead human beings? ”
Robert lowered his head in shame, and Sam in the back row whined, as if he was also ashamed of his master.
Russell sighed lightly: "Robert, I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just want you to realize the burden on your shoulders. Let's go, turn around and go home now, I'll urge you to make antivenom, and forbid you to step out of the room until that succeeds. ”
"Oh!"
"Wang!"
……
At the same time, in the bleak Washington Square Park, a not-so-bright light flashed, and sixteen reincarnators appeared.
The group of men and women, all physically and mentally exhausted, and their injuries were mild or severe.
"Where is this?"
"Damn, is it the end of the world again?"
"This is Manhattan, New York, and the stone arch that I've seen in the Spider-Man movie."
“……”
A group of reincarnators split into teams and began to discuss the current world, and soon, they all shut up and looked at the twelve dormant chambers in unison.
"What's going on, why are there twelve guys sleeping here? Are they stupid beeps? ”
No one refutes it, sleeping in the mission world of the main god space, and being exposed to the public without warning, isn't it stupid?
"Do you want to kill them?"
"Wait and find out what world it is! Seeing that they have no fear, they must have chosen a camp to win by lying down, and killing their teammates will deduct reward points! ”
"Makes sense."
