Chapter 51: Memories

Zheng Rui felt an unusually painful pain in her head.

Some of the speculations disgusted her, even though she even thought in her heart that it was reasonable. Some of the deeper speculations made her feel remorseful, but she didn't think what she had done was wrong.

The black-and-white scenes of those memories flashed through my mind, and they dissolved into alien silhouettes. She stood in the underground kiosk where the sunlight could still shine, but her consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

No way...... It can't be like this.

Zheng Rui leaned against the wall and gritted her teeth as she walked to the crate near the door of the warehouse.

She stretched out her hand to Fang Tong, who was sitting in the shadows behind the box, and said with difficulty, "Hurry up...... Hypnotize me. ”

————————————

Zheng Rui regained consciousness and found herself in a sea of flowers on a hill. Light red, orange, white, and pink poppies bloomed at her feet, and a clear blue sky overhead.

She felt calm, though the scene should have been surprising.

Then she saw another person about three meters away, that person couldn't see his face clearly, and even his figure was quite blurred, but she knew that it was Fang Tong.

Zheng Rui: Your ability is progressing pretty fast.

Fang Tong: It's not my ability...... This came out of nowhere.

Zheng Rui realized that this was her imagination, this was the sea of flowers in the Garden Expo Park, and Fang Tong had not come to the city to go to college in the year of the Garden Expo, so I am afraid she would not know about this scene. Perhaps that's why Fang Tong's face seemed so blurry to her—the light underneath was too dim, and Fang Tong stayed in the shadows almost all the time, and she hadn't even looked closely at what he looked like.

Zheng Rui: How long can you cast your ability once?

Fang Tong: I haven't tested it yet...... Maybe a few minutes.

Zheng Rui: That's enough, stay still.

Fang Tong: Uh...... Why don't you wake up first? You feel like you're fainting now...... You fainted like that yesterday, what's wrong?

Zheng Rui: Shut up.

This time, Fang Tong didn't refute anything, "I didn't open my mouth in the first place", Zheng Rui "sitted" in the sea of flowers—or in other words, she imagined that her image completed the imaginary action of "sitting" in the sea of flowers in the "server"—and then the sea of flowers changed.

Fang Tong: This- what is this?!

Zheng Rui: Maintain your abilities! - Please, that's it......

Zheng Rui projected the images she saw in several basements in the opposite community, first five empty basements: one of them was the basement where Fang Tong and Zuo Youcheng were originally located, and the other was the basement that had been "wiped out", and there would definitely be no materials left in these two basements. The other three basements, which she projected one by one and looked at them carefully, were vague from her own memory, but she could confirm that there were food and containers on the table, and clothes were still drying on the ladder of the bunk bed.

Fang Tong: This is Brother Liu's basement? It's the one where Sister Bian used to be......

Zheng Rui: Are you sure?

Fang Tong: I ...... I don't know. But that shirt that was hanging was worn by Brother Liu and the defensive type in their basement before. Isn't the defensive type able to stick out of the deck and cut the top of the shirt, you can see where the tear is.

Zheng Rui couldn't help but feel that he was quite able to talk in the state of consciousness connection, and he was worthy of being Zuo Youcheng's cousin.

Affected by Fang Tong's spiritual ability, her mood is now very stable and she can think rationally. And just from the situation of these three basements that should have been people, the facts are already relatively clear. When the egg-laying alien arrived, the three basement occupants were supposed to be in an organized state of temporary departure from their original residence, and if her memories of the other three basements were correct, it was likely that they had ransacked the other three basements.

The ransack may have occurred after the three basements were attacked by the aliens, after all, it should not be a fault to take the food and groceries of the deceased when supplies are scarce from the point of view of maximizing profits, which are no longer needed by the deceased in the current new moral code. But that doesn't explain why they didn't go back to their basement since, and the supplies in the basement were neatly arranged and never touched. If you had abandoned the basement and fled after the alien attack, you would have at least found a way to take some supplies with you, and it would not have been possible for everything to be placed there so neatly.

Unless—

They left their basement before the alien attack.

Zheng Rui was in a state of emotional stability, projecting the scene of the second basement she went to.

Fang Tong: Ah!! No – don't!!

The ability to calm emotions was disconnected, and Zheng Rui's "server" was suddenly filled with negative emotions such as panic, nausea, and sadness. She felt out of breath—though she didn't seem to need to breathe in her own mind.

Zheng Rui: Fang Tong! Unleash your abilities!

Fang Tong: This is ...... What is it...... A lot of blood...... Are they dead......

Zheng Rui: Unleash your abilities! Don't stop!

Fang Tong: I don't ...... Please...... Don't look at this......

Zheng Rui: You ...... Calm down! I X...... Your uncle's ...... Unleash your abilities!

A calm mood gradually flooded Zheng Rui's mind.

She was able to "see" clearly the images she had projected in the connection of consciousness.

It's still black and white, blurring too many details. The picture shook violently, and the heartbeat was deafening. Zheng Rui "saw" the memory of herself flipping through the corpse on the ground from the projected image, and she tried to concentrate and dig out this memory more clearly.

Fortunately, with Fang Tong's spiritual ability, even if the content of the picture is disgusting, it will not be affected by emotions.

Then Zheng Rui "saw" it, and she had seen tree-like lines on the deceased's arms. At the time, she wondered why several people had tattoos in the same style, but now it seems that this is a "Lichtenberg pattern" created by a high-voltage discharge.

There were several other deceased with bluish wounds on their necks. Zheng Rui was only frightened at the time, but now that he thinks rationally, that blue color is certainly like the poison of the alien, but the wound area is small but deep, not like the traces left by the knife-shaped claws of the alien moon. It's like what Bian Na said before, there is a poison attack type in the basement where she used to be, and she can stick out a stinger in her hand.

A single electric injury can't be deduced from anything, but there is an electric control type and a toxic attack type, and it is almost certain that it was the ex-boyfriend of Miss Bian Na who did it. And Fang Tong also recognized that the basement without the dead was the basement of the bastard thing, which was also in line with Zheng Rui's speculation.

Combined with what she found when she went to the first basement, it was like Bian Na's ex-boyfriend's basement uniting the other two basements, and was about to attack the other three basements to snatch supplies when she was "in ruins" after the rainstorm, but when she attacked the basement where the last former boss Zhao Weiming was, she was hit by an alien and fled in a hurry......

Zheng Rui had to admit this fact, if this was the case, perhaps it was because she scrapped the right ankle of the former boss Zhao Weiming that Liu Haojia and others had the idea of rebellion.

- It's just that she didn't expect that these grandsons would kill their own kind.
