Chapter Eighty-Eight: Red Beads of the Black Sea
"Jie, you are really a woman, where is the village beautiful, it is still the same reddish-brown, it is still the same building block house, and it is still the same as a primitive tribe."
"Tree, you discriminate against women, this is our first home after we survived, and home should be beautiful. I'm just worried about what will happen here the next time the strong noise shakes up. Rose worried.
"Don't worry about this, the density of the lava won't change when it reaches saturation." Ray said with a veteran.
"Zhong, you came back from the ring road, have you all turned into such a metal bug road?"
"It's not clear, everywhere is covered by protective belts, only here is black, and the lava village is red, if you want to know that we are going out for a walk."
"Zhong, do you still want to go out? If you don't see it, you can imagine that the places where the lava has accumulated must have turned into a black, hard surface. Where there is no lava, there are no metal bugs, and perhaps the ruins left behind by the earth will be shattered. ”
"Yes, it's still necessary to go out, and there are too many things to verify. Next time, we're going to go out and have a look. Qingfeng Iron Legs said together.
"Hey, Jie, Rose, are you two okay with the baby in your belly?"
"Joan, something happened, and then it was okay again. I'm really worried about the lack of medical treatment, what if I can't save it? ”
"Yes, Joan, it may be a child in a special period, born strong, it's okay to toss like this."
"I won't know until something is okay, Zhong, next time you go out, you and the call will stay, and I'll take a few people out to have a look." Ray said.
"Old man, it's not good-looking on the outside, can you hold on to that body?"
"Electricity, there is still danger, by the way, tell me about your experience this time."
"Experience, one word is tired, two words are dangerous, it can be said that you escaped death."
"Escaping death, it's really so terrifying, hurry up and talk about it."
"Well, let's start with the repair of the underground light belt......
Both groups talked about their experiences in the past two days, and they had a new understanding of Huangao's self-healing. The veil of mystery was lifted little by little by everyone's cocooning, and they were full of hope and despair for the future. This is the portrayal of the mood of nineteen people at this moment.
"Zhong, there is no doubt that Huangao can repair itself, but the time for its repair is not something we can wait for."
"Yes, no one doubts this reality, but there is only enough food to last one winter, and if we don't wait for help, we will starve to death."
"It's not so pessimistic, when the spring flowers are blooming, we can grow our own or eat wild vegetables. You can also go to the supply point and look for life. The ring height is an endless cycle, and the supply points are destroyed. The earth also has endless treasures waiting to be discovered. Water, clouds, and fog muttered for a long time on the side, and then said.
"Agronomist, have you found the soil? Dream, just the few seedlings you have cultivated, there is not enough to stuff your teeth, let alone feed us all. ”
"If you don't find it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, the soil on the earth is pitiful, but now is the time of the great disaster, the underground shock has changed I don't know how much, the winter is only a third of the way over, and our three-person team has enough time to go out and look for possible opportunities. You can't wait to starve to death. ”
"Yes, hope is in our hearts, in our constant searching."
"Zhong, no one is without hope, but hope is beautiful, despair is reality. Even if we go out in a trio to find hope, there is little hope. ”
"I have to go out to look for it, and I won't regret it if I die."
"That's right! Doing nothing and waiting to die, perhaps scaring yourself to death before starving to death. ”
......
More than a dozen people, for the first time, were divided into two factions, the hope faction and the despair faction. Those who are full of hope cannot face reality, and those who are full of despair are unwilling to sit and wait for death. The two camps are arguing and indefinite. In the end, everyone is tired, people are tired, people are tired, and their hearts are tired. I also sent away another day and ushered in a new day. In the early morning, when people were still half-asleep, there was a sound of rattling and cheering again without warning. At first, it was just a whisper in my ears, and I just felt troubled in my heart. As the sun rose, the sound became louder, as if the whole village was filled with that annoying noise.
Nineteen people ran from one side of the village to the other side of the village, except for the middle of the road that symbolized the construction of two parts of the village, everywhere was a concussive person who wanted to vent and want to kill. The entire lava village is surrounded by a black plane, a smooth plane like a mirror, absorbing and amplifying noise, disturbing people's nerves. The only reason I have is about to be drained.
As early as the sound of stabbing and stabbing began, Zhong and Rose turned on Robot No. 1 and No. 2, and after a few laps around the village, they stood still on the path in the middle.
"Oh my God, it's a damn noise!"
"Now no matter how I look at it, everyone is angry, whoever fights with me."
"Calm, it won't always be like this. We are human beings, the superlative species that has been passed on from generation to generation. ”
"That is, all life is extinct, all plants do not exist, only human beings remain. This shows that we are an invincible force. ”
Everyone is shouting what they are thinking, and everyone is talking to themselves as if they are arguing with others. The robot's white light reflected wisps of light in the sunlight, constantly scanning people and surroundings. Man hovers on the edge of collapse and reason, surrounded by black mirrors that are either flat or inclined or upright, amplifying the noise infinitely. It finally disappeared after more than half an hour, and people's ears were still full of that kind of thorn and thorn, and it could not be dispersed for a long time. And the robot also consumes a whole gem of energy.
The night came again, and no one wanted to go to sleep, and they were scattered in twos and threes, and their nerves were still in high tension.
"Zhong, this doesn't work, the repair of the underground light belt was originally in a state that had just been connected, and we were surrounded by reflection sources, and after a few times like this, everyone was going to collapse completely." Ray followed the bell, talking as he went.
"Yes, Zhong, the self-repair of the ring is the same as when it was first built, and how many people have died crazy because of it. If you have experienced it, you have to choose to forget, this is not a joke, it is not a promise, it is really not a memory. Rose followed.
"Doll, how old are you, have you participated in construction?"
"Lei Lao, I've seen and heard, that's enough. I haven't experienced it in the past, but now I am deeply affected by it and deeply experienced. I also understand why some people choose to euthanize on the ring height. ”
"I've never been involved in the construction of the ring heights, let alone seen it, but it's undoubtedly irrational for us to stay in Lava Village."
"But this is the base camp and can't be discarded, Zhong, I'll stay and wait for our child to be born." Jie said firmly.
"Jie, and me, I'm not leaving, I'm just waiting here for you to bring hope back."
"Rose, Jie, my old man can't walk anymore, I used to want to be happy on the ring height, and now I am guarding the new force of the human race, which may be more meaningful than peace and happiness on the ring height."
"Count me in, I'm a doctor, and it's the first time I've delivered a human birth. Rose, Ray, do you two say that the two of their children will be able to wait until the day when the ring is repaired? Joan followed Ray.
"Yes! A few months of ring height can not be repaired, maybe several years are in the process of non-stop self-repair. ”
"I agree with Ray's point of view and deduce that the ring height has been built for more than 100 years, how can you repair such a big wound in a short period of time. We leave some people, and those who stay can live better. ”
"Going out doesn't mean hope, staying is no hope at all."
"Den, have you ever walked out once, is it really so scary that it's hard to survive outside?" Iron Legs, Breeze and Electricity walked together, and Iron Legs suddenly asked.
"Terror is certain, and it depends on the will of man that it is difficult to survive. Anyway, I'm going to go out and look for even hopeless hope, for the sake of my children, in order not to be decadent and wait for death. I'm so scared that when I'm mad, I'll kill my child with my own hands. ”
"Electricity, then let's go in groups of three, and we'll go find other supply points. Bring back food and hope. ”
"That's it, let's go, go to the warehouse and arm ourselves."
"Water, I believe there is still soil on the earth, but we haven't found it yet, I want to go out and look for it." The clouds walked together with the fog and the water, and the three of them discussed.
"It's not believing, there should be at all, how big the earth is, how many human beings. Besides, in the embrace of high technology, what to worry about by human beings. Like those centuries-old ruins, where someone has had the experience of bulldozing them. ”
"Yes, a person, a family living in a high-rise building, more than 100 people is a city, this is the current situation of the earth. High technology is an infinite embrace, and we who can't do without it are nothing. ”
"The earth hasn't gotten bigger, it's just that humans have become less and less. All non-human flora and fauna are gone, and the endless treasures of the earth have been able to recuperate for hundreds of years. What else is there that cannot be imagined? ”
"Water, we're still a group, let's go out and find hope back."
"Good! Going out is the hope of living, and the hope of finding hope. Go to the storeroom and get ready. ”
"Tree, we used to be a small group, we can't stay in Lava Village and wait for death." Zhen said as he looked at the tall figure who was the first to be mutated in front.
"Of course, I eat enough for a few people a day, and I waste food if I stay. But to put it bluntly, at a critical moment, I can only carry one person on my back. ”
"The worm is the smallest, you carry him first."
"Zhen, you're a woman, I'll carry you first."
"Shut up, no matter how you look at me, I'm a bully, I don't betray anyone. Hope comes from hard work, not by me. Women, it's really long-winded and annoying. ”
"Tree, where are you going, when are we going?"
"Stupid, go look for what you bring, you two are not going to leave now."
