Chapter 128: Destination
But where this group of young people will end up is no longer important to Gu San. She was left alone to embark on a new journey. This is the norm of her daily journey, traveling alone, arriving at the destination alone, and bringing things that need to be salvaged and tested back to shore from the deep sea.
There are almost no places in this land that Gu San has not visited, and she is extremely familiar with the scenery everywhere, but unfortunately she never has time to stop.
As he approached Fortress No. 3, Gu San received a call from Zhu Li saying that the group of young men had arrived at the fortress by car. But things are not optimistic, I don't know who is infected, and the whole vehicle has to be dealt with. For now, most of them have already made contact with their families, and they must undergo prosthetic modifications, or they will never be able to set foot in the fortress.
When Zhu Li mentioned this, he told Gu San that there were a total of ten people who had returned to the fortress at the moment, and it could be determined that one person had mutated before and died outside the fortress, and the other person was a girl.
But it was already getting dark, and Gu San's car was parked alone on the side of the road, and she received the photo from Juri, confirming that the person in the photo was the girl she had met a few times before.
"Is that her?"
"I asked the others, and the girl seemed to have gotten out of the car and left on her own before she was about to reach the fortress," Juri said. She said that she was also injured, infected by the zombie virus, and did not want to drag others down. Other children said that when she left, there were indeed no zombies coming forward to bite her, and she should not be lying. ”
"There is a possibility that the zombie will not pounce decisively and attack, she is not human at all."
"But as you said earlier, this girl is a primitarian."
And that's true...... Gu San recalled the scene of meeting this girl in his mind, and her behavior and actions were indeed pure human in general, not like a transformer, nor like an artificial person. Besides, what's the use of having such an artificial person around?
"Do you think that girl is really infected?"
"I can't think of any other reason to get her out of the convoy, away from the fortress."
This conversation is over for the time being, and there is no point in delving into why a girl came and why she left. Gu San didn't know if this result was what Qiqi and Adan wanted to see, no matter what, in the end, most of the young people they gave their lives to save still returned home, instead of losing everything and finally taking hatred and revenge as their only beliefs.
So Gu San is now gradually reluctant to meet new friends, and he doesn't want to have in-depth communication with anyone, as long as he thinks of being outside the fortress, everyone has to make a choice, people's lives are always full of all kinds of problems, Gu San feels physically and mentally exhausted. None of them can help others solve their problems, and sometimes they have a hard time even ending their own problems.
No matter who it is, no matter what happened to them, the final result or the suffering they will suffer is not important to Gu San, what is more important to her is the old machine that is now sinking to the bottom of the sea, the person she wants to find, the guy she longs to bring back to her side.
As the journey got closer and closer, Gu San gradually entered the state of work. The vehicle eventually came to a stop on the edge of a tidal flat, where even the wandering zombies could not be seen. When he arrived, it was still noon, Gu San parked the car, took off his coat, and walked directly towards the middle of the water. This side of the sea used to be a major battlefield against Sky City, and the wreckage of the equipment could still be seen around it, and Gu San had stepped on the bones under his feet during the process of walking towards the middle of the water.
In winter, the water temperature is relatively low, the wind and waves sweep in, and the sea is churning. Gu San's body was gradually submerged by the sea, and she swam all the way to the location of the location. Beneath the depths of the ocean, only the electronic light on her body still flickered. Juri remotely controlled the drone to fly out of the carriage, and the figure of the follower Gu San slowly moved forward, and after she stopped, the chain was gradually lowered.
The situation at the bottom of the sea is actually much more normal than the ruins on the ground, after all, this disaster is confined to human society, and the life under the ocean is not actually particularly affected by the changes on the shore, in fact, nature has become better than in the past after the drastic decline of human beings.
Gu San's eyes searched underwater for a moment, and soon found an old flying machine entangled in seaweed. The aircraft was covered in rust, but fortunately it hadn't sunk for too long, and it generally looked the same as before. Gu San continued to dive to the side of the abandoned aircraft, skillfully opened the door of the aircraft, and then found the control panel. The vehicle had apparently been bombed and plunged into the water during a previous battle, and the control panel had burned out in part, but fortunately the positioning system was preserved in the event of an emergency shutdown.
Gu San watched as the chain on the drone had slowly descended into the water area where she was. The rest of the aircraft had basically crashed and there was no way to reuse it, Gu San removed the central control panel, connected the drone's joint, and watched the chains rise and leave the water, she returned the same way and swam to the shore.
Zhu Li will control the drone to return to Fortress 27 for inspection, and Gu San will slowly drive back. If you find a small device and you don't need to use a vehicle to pull it back, then transport it directly by drone. If it is large-scale equipment, then the mode of transportation can be discussed.
By the time Gu San returned to shore, it was already dark, and the drone had already flown off the coast. Gu San was still with the sea water on his body, and slowly walked towards the car. At the moment when she was about to get close to her vehicle, a bullet whistled towards her eyebrows, Gu San quickly dodged it, and then rushed forward with a strong stride, following the direction where the bullet was flying, slamming the black shadow hidden behind the car.
Under the cover of night, Gu San reached out and grabbed the gunner's throat, and with the other hand, he opened the gun in her hand directly. With his eyes with night vision, Gu San quickly saw the incoming face.
It was the girl who quietly disappeared from Fortress 27, the poor girl who appeared as a primitist and had been a missionary in front of her.
The touch under Gu San's palm gradually brought her the truth - there was no pulse in her throat, and she didn't even feel suffocated when she pinched her so hard.
Gu San suddenly thought of Zhu Li, An Lian and Xiao Sui'er at a moment, although they look no different from humans, but in the final analysis, the way the body operates is completely different from that of humans, although they can also eat and swallow like humans, but in the end, the waste after degradation is just turned into molecules and excreted inside the body. In fact, they don't need to breathe, they don't have to demand oxygen like humans, and they don't have to worry about high temperatures.
They are beings who are similar to humans but different from them.
Instead of being frightened by Gu San's attack, the girl suddenly laughed, her whisper echoing across the empty shore, Gu San's hand gradually loosened from her throat, she knew it was useless to do so. I heard the girl smile and say, "Long time no see, Gu San." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Gu San looked at her, "...... You're not human, and you're not leaving the convoy because you're infected. ”
"Who else do you think has the patience to hunt you down?" The girl was lying on the beach, and after her eyes closed several times, her black pupils, which were exactly the same as those of humans, gradually glowed with a faint blue light, "But also, this body of mine is currently the most similar to the style of humans, and it is understandable that other humans are mistaken, but I didn't expect that Gu Sanlian you were also deceived." ”
Such an arrogant and arrogant tone was all too familiar, Gu San pulled out a knife and immediately stuck it to her neck: "It's you, Suzaku." Where the hell did you take Murong Yuhua! ”
"Don't worry, I've come all the way to find you, laying one trap after another waiting for you, but it's not like you're asking the answer at once."
Suzaku slowly pushed away the dagger she had attached to her face without hurrying.
"You know, Sky City has actually been looking for you all these years, but there is someone who has tried to hide your tracks, you are his best work, and undoubtedly the best work of Sky City over the years." Suzaku raised his blue eyes and swept over Gu San, "Although you look completely different from a human being, everything about you is fundamentally from a human being. It's amazing that your soul hasn't been lost from beginning to end. After you...... Everyone wants to solve the real mystery. ”
Gu San didn't pay any attention to everything she said, she only had one question: "Where is Murong Yuhua?" ”
"Of course he's in the Sky City."
"Where are you from, aren't you looking for me? Now that I'm here, what conditions do you have to hand him over? ”
"Gu San, I don't think you really understand the meaning of your existence at all." Suzaku spoke lightly, she didn't seem to be nervous about her situation at all, "Don't you want to know why we have to go to such great lengths to come to you and bring you here?" ”
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
"A native human who obviously makes you dissatisfied and impatient, but you are still willing to use your time to find 6237 to save them. You always say that you are cold, but at the end of the day, you still can't escape the most fundamental kindness of being human. In essence, you and Murong Yuhua are the same people. ”
Gu San's blade was already pressing closer and closer to her throat, and the blade slowly cut through her skin, and blood as bright red as a human oozed out.
"What's the hurry? Since I'm here, I'm sure I'm going to give you a chance to meet. ”
