Chapter Twenty-Seven: Housekeeping

Zheng Rui walked back to the hole in the basement, and now that the buildings above had been flattened, he could see the sky unobstructed.

The sky was no different from before, but she always thought of "people" watching them outside outside the atmosphere, watching them rebel against the aliens, struggle for survival, and even kill each other. Maybe those "people" will laugh and find it funny.

However, from a cognitive point of view, if there is too much difference in the level of civilization development between the other party and humans, it is likely that human beings will not be able to understand each other's intentions at all. Just like the "Emperor's Golden Hoe", if the current land is imagined as an alien Colosseum, it is just a cognitive limitation called "Alien Colosseum".

But she will eventually know what is really happening on Earth.

She may not be able to change, but she must know.

"Sister Na......" Zheng Rui said, "I'm going to find a hospital that can take CT scans, because there is no car now, and it may take a long time." You're looking at those two people here, do you think it's okay? ”

Benna didn't answer immediately, for two or three seconds she heard only the sound of tapping on the calculator, and then she asked, "Do I have to go to the hospital?" ”

"Of course, there may have been people who have started researching, but now there is no way to communicate, so I have to run on my own." Zheng Rui explained.

"Looks like you're going to have to know what's going on." Benna said with a smile.

"Don't you want to know?" Zheng Rui asked rhetorically, "I don't want to know what happened to me?" ”

Bian Na stopped what she was doing, sighed and said, "Actually, I don't think it's anything. Before, my life was a mess, and I didn't know what the meaning of human life was, but now it's not much different from before, except for a different way. ”

"How can it be, I used to be 100% sure that I was a person, but now I ......," Zheng Rui laughed dryly, "I don't dare to say that my original parts are still there, or if there is something new." ”

Regarding this aspect, Zheng Rui previously felt that those real bigwigs probably started studying it as soon as possible - the bigwigs reacted very quickly, which is why they could become bigwigs. The gap between people and people is sometimes bigger than that between people and dogs. But Fang Tong and Zuo Youcheng said that only young people are left - although there are geniuses among young people, human wisdom is positively related to the accumulation of experience.

This reminded Zheng Rui of a science fiction novel written by Liu Cixin "Supernova Era", that is, the world where only children are left after the "adults" are dead. In that book, the "adult" is set as a human being over 13 years old, but in fact, even Zheng Rui herself does not dare to say that she is an adult nowβ€”although she is already an adult in the legal sense. As human society becomes more and more complex, and young people reach the age of full mental maturity at a later age, it may be that a 12-year-old child can maintain the operation of the country on the basis of the original foundation after training, but the 21-year-old scumbag who suddenly lost all surface buildings may not be able to complete the reconstruction of the wasteland......

Forget it, why do you want to do so much.

She just personally wants to know the truth. If others can study it and tell everyone better, if it can't be researched, she will find a way to know it herself.

"I'm going to go to the hospital, or at least I'm going to have to go to a commercial area where more people are there." Zheng Rui sat down on the steps and said to Bian Na, but it seemed to say to herself, "But this is our 'stronghold', someone must stay and watch the house, but there are not enough people......

She paused, then added, "Do you think those two people can be trusted?" If you train them too, it may be enough to keep them at home. ”

"You decided to 'form an alliance' after making sure they were credible, didn't you?" Benna asked.

"Yes, but human quality is not a completely static parameter either." Zheng Rui brushed the broken hair on his forehead, "Although Churchill said the phrase 'only eternal interests', it cannot be denied that he was right." ”

Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong are different from Bian Na after all. Their coming to her commissary is itself a speculative act. At a time when most of the abilities here have not evolved much, young males after puberty still have a certain advantage over females, and although the two of them came over to escape the oppression of "Brother Zhao", they are not completely cornered in the end. Just because they're credible now doesn't mean they'll be credible when their own abilities improve.

Now the common interest of them and these two people is only to protect the materials in the commissary, and if they cannot be restrained from the perspective of interests, then they can only be deterred from the perspective of force.

"Well, I'll take Shang Tong with me when I leave, and with his ability type, it's useless to stay here anyway." Zheng Rui re-made another suggestion, "Now let Zuo Youcheng train well, he is here to defend with you." Sister Na, this kid's spatial ability is scope-based, and no matter how much he trains in the short term, he shouldn't be able to beat you one-on-one. ”

Bian Na glanced inside the commissary, and Zuo Youcheng's figure was hidden in the dark, and the outline looked a little blurred.

"No, right...... He's a boy too, how can I beat him? Ben Na said in a low voice.

"I now have a new hypothesis that training for abilities will not only enhance the abilities themselves, but also strengthen the muscles of the human body." Zheng Rui explained, "You can try it now, and you have more strength than before." ”

"Huh? There is such a thing......" Bian Na didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she muttered, "It seems that there is really a little change, and I can move two cargo boxes - but even if I have more strength, can I fight with a boy?" ”

"Hey, that kid is just an ordinary high school student, and you'll be intimidated if you scare him a little." Zheng Rui smiled indifferently.

Bian Na bit her lip and thought about it, in fact, this is really true, she can no longer substitute herself in the role of a little girl who has to be protected by others. Now there is no one who will let her because she is a vulnerable group, and she can't even be a high school student.

"Then how are you going to train Zuo Youcheng?" Benna asked.

"It's easy." Zheng Rui immediately became interested, "Just like making your training plan before, you first have to test the range of his change of gravity, the duration of the effect, and the CD time...... I'm guessing that the effects in the range are likely to fit the Gaussian distribution, but that's not the point. Then let him repeatedly lower the gravity in the area of the commissary, and so on and so on. ”
