Chapter 114: Contradictions
This land has long been devastated by a disaster, but everything is much better than before Gu San left, at least the city is gradually recovering, although the Sky City was finally no longer ruled on the ground, but the new technology they left behind on the ground has not completely disappeared because of the disappearance of Sky City.
As long as there is a stable development site that is not invaded by zombies, humanity can continue to move forward. This is the resilience of human beings, even the almost inconceivably powerful vitality of life. Coupled with the prevalence of prosthetics in the past decade, humans have gradually ceased to see zombies as a real threat.
With technology, you will be able to build high walls around the city, and with prosthetics, you won't have to be as shy as you used to when dealing with zombies. Even if it is bitten, the mechanical body does not need to worry about the damage being caused again.
So Gu San thought it was quite incredible when he discovered the primitarians. To this day, she has the same idea as she watches this new generation of young people march through the streets with signs. These young people are often seen in the Lins Tavern, and sometimes even distribute leaflets here.
Today, of course, there are such people. After Gu San put away the card handed over by Lin Si, she sat quietly on the edge of the bar drinking and smoking, which was one of the few leisure times she had at present. Just because of her entry, some of the primitives got up and left. She is well-known in the fortress here, especially among the people who often come to Lin Si's shop to drink. Basically, we all know that there is a regular customer in this tavern, a woman who has almost been modified into a prosthetic body, has a bad temper, usually does not like to talk, and usually sits there with a glass of whiskey and a cigarette.
It's okay not to mess with her, but if anyone doesn't have long eyes to provoke because of her prosthesis, the one who doesn't have long eyes will definitely regret it the next moment. There will always be some primitivist young people who think that they are powerful and can point fingers at the prosthetics, and at other times Lin Si tries his best to stop such things from happening, but for Gu San, he knows that whether he intervenes or not will not affect this woman's decision.
Gu San became famous among this group of primitarians for an incident that took place a few months ago. It was also about late in the evening, and the store was crowded with a dozen or so prostitutes, who liked the owners, although there were prosthetics here.
Lin Si is a pure human through and through, without the slightest trace of prosthetic transformation, of course, this does not mean that he cannot participate in the battle, a few years ago when he and Murong Yuhua were fighting side by side, he jointly developed a batch of exoskeleton equipment, and those mecha devices can also maximize the combat ability of the human body.
This also laid the groundwork for the struggle between prosthetic humans and primitarians. If purebred humans do not have such equipment support, there is indeed no way to match them in terms of combat strength.
This group of young people had already drunk a lot that day, and when Gu San came in, a few sharp-eyed people saw her, and their eyes kept looking up and down. She always wore a cloak, and when she entered the house, she removed the cloak, and inside it was the usual black tank top and jeans, so that her arms, neck, and every part of her body were naturally exposed, like a mechanical sculpture of a work of art.
A big boy with dyed red hair first pretended to be loud and said, "I don't understand how there are people in this world who are so disgusted with their bodies that they would rather be robots than stay the same." ”
The bumpy girl next to him echoed, "Someone still dares to claim that such an act is 'brave', brave? In my opinion, they are the biggest cowards in the world! If it weren't for cowardice, how could someone give up their original body and wrap themselves in such an ugly machine? The prosthetic body is obviously reserved for the disabled, haha, there are really people who are stupid enough to replace their obviously healthy limbs with such a body. ”
Gu San originally didn't want to deal with them, but the longer he lived on the ground, Gu San knew that there were as many fools in this era as ever. Lin Si stood behind the bar, frowning slightly, and was about to speak, but Gu San raised his hand to him first, "A glass of whiskey." ”
This sentence is equivalent to signaling that he does not have to intervene. The young men shouted, seeing that Gu San did not answer, and looked at each other a little stupidly. One of the boys was already drunk, and seeing that the words of his partners did not arouse the slightest reaction from the prosthetic woman in front of him, he leaned forward and pushed Gu San's shoulder, "Hey, I said you guy, can't you hear what I say?" ”
Gu San didn't move, not caring at all about what the kid said. For her, the group of little kids in front of her didn't need to worry about it at all. But the stinky boy seemed to feel a hint of provocation at Gu San's ignorance, and pushed him hard, "Are you a cage?" I've done so many prosthetic modifications all over my body, why didn't I give your ears a touch? ”
Although Gu San didn't move this time, the whiskey in the wine glass spilled a little because of the young man's movements. She glanced at the group of strangely dressed young people with some impatience, and still wanted to ignore it, but she heard another girl suddenly say, "Okay, isn't it because people are timid?" There are so many of us, don't scare her. She's so ugly that I want me to say that humans who modify prosthetics are the stupidest. ”
The stupid behavior of this group of young people was seen by Lin Si, he wiped the wine glass in his hand, and sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, children just need social education, otherwise if they are not careful, they may provoke people who should not be provoked.
Before Gu San got up, Lin Si also carefully reminded him, "Recently, the price of glass products has risen, and I look at it a little bit when I fight in my store, it's very expensive." ”
Gu San drank the wine and put the cup upside down in front of Lin Si, as if he heard this, then turned his head and directly smashed his fist into the abdomen of the kid who came over and pushed her several times.
This punch directly smashed out all the drinks he had drunk tonight, and the remaining few people saw this, and took out the exoskeleton equipment and firearms they were carrying - since the disappearance of Sky City, the control of the mechanical police is no longer as strict as it was back then, and almost everyone who has a little way will have a gun of their own.
Gu San had already rushed to the group of boys before the gunshots rang out, her fighting speed was very fast, and she could hear the sound of bones being hit with each punch.
For her, such a young creature could not even be called her enemy, and in the end, she could even defeat a car loaded with heavy weapons and fly in the air, such a little minion could not even fight back. By the time they reacted, Gu San had already thrown the group of guys out of the door with two or three hands, and she grabbed the red-haired kid who was the leader and said with a cold face, "Listen, I don't care if it's a prosthetic or a prosthetic." I just want to drink well and not bother me. ”
The young man had just been beaten, and his eyes were slightly frightened and panicked when he looked at Gu San at this time. He nodded cringe, the corners of his mouth trembling with some pain from the pulling, "You...... Rest assured, we won't shine like this again. ”
Gu San patted the shoulder of the girl next to him again, "You don't know what these people who chose prosthetics have gone through, little ghosts. You were born in a fortress and you don't understand how desperate humanity was when zombies attacked. You don't know what humanity has lost in this struggle after struggle. If your parents knew that they were desperately saving a group of idiots like you who didn't know the height of the sky, they would probably regret dying. ”
After saying this, as soon as Gu San's hand was released, he saw that this group of young people fled in groups.
From that day on, most of the primitives in this fortress avoided Gu San whenever they saw him. Unless there is really a desperate return to Annoy Gu San, this probability is really rare. Gu San also thought that after that day, such a little idiot should not jump in front of him again.
But she still made a slight mistake.
Today's leisure time was finally ruined by a leaflet. Gu San smoked her cigarette and drank her wine as always, and a girl stood beside her, handing her a leaflet very respectfully.
"Hello, would you like to learn about the Prosthetic Human Nativization Project?"
Lin Si, who was sitting behind the bar, raised his head slightly, and Gu San ignored the girl. She was dressed like an old-civilization college student, with a simple T-shirt, jeans, a peaked cap, and long hair braided into a ponytail hanging down the back of her head.
Seeing that Gu San didn't take care of herself, the girl was not discouraged, but pushed the leaflet closer, "Let's get to know, ma'am." Our program is dedicated to humans like you who are superstitious about prosthetics. You have lost yourselves in the long battle, and our plan will help you regain what you have lost. ”
Gu San raised his eyes at her impatiently, and then reached out and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand directly in the center of the leaflet. The traces of the fire spread quickly, and most of the printing paper used in the major fortresses was this batch of materials that were easy to degrade, the only drawback was that it was too easy to degrade, and sometimes a little spark could wipe out these things.
She was the same gloomy gesture as always, "Get away, don't bother me." ”
At the same time, add a sentence.
"Don't you know why your companions saw me walking fast?"
"You're Gu San, I know. However, that doesn't stop me from recommending this program to you. You're still human, not just a prosthetic, aren't you? ”
