Chapter 22: The Paradise of the Intoxicated
"Xu Xiaonian... Xu Xiaonian... Come on... Come on... Yes! Lin Yuan got up from the bed, sweating profusely. She trembled and picked up the medicine bottle next to her, poured out a few, picked up the transparent glass again, mixed it with water and ate it. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at the light of day revealed behind the white curtains, it should be morning.
For the past half a month, she has woken up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, shouting the name of a stranger. She was so strange that her body often trembled, and she could only rely on drugs to relieve her brain's emotions.
According to Yang Zishen, she was sent to the 'Phoenix' organization to carry out undercover missions, but fell into trapping. Not only was he injected with a vaccine to eliminate the virus, but he was also seriously injured in a violent explosion. In fact, Lin Yuan's memory is still stuck in the North Pole to help Zhang Lingling find something, and when she first woke up, her mind was full of thoughts of settling accounts with her.
Reality told her that she was just a three-nil person with no abilities, no rings, no points, and was arranged by the institute to recuperate in paradise. Her young and beautiful life has just begun, and she has fallen into such a miserable situation, and it is not an exaggeration to read Du Fu's "Ascending".
"Knock knock—" Someone knocked on her window. She smiled knowingly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the window in a few big strides, smoothly opened the curtains, unlocked the window, and pushed the wooden-framed glass window out.
She shouted with a smile on her face, "What kind of flowers are today, my chocolate is almost finished by you." ”
Outside the window were three children of seven or eight years old, a little girl with braids holding flowers in her hand, and two other little boys standing next to her, one on the left and one on the right.
"Sister Lin, it's a white iris today." The girl grinned and handed over the bouquet in her hand. The flowers are wrapped in thick blue paper with a bow tied on the outside. The handiwork is not pretty, but it is better to be careful, and the flowers should have been freshly picked and still stained with dew.
Lin Yuan took it with a smile and said, "Thank you Yingying, as well as Xiaole and Xiaojia, I like it very much." There are still irises growing around here, take me next time and I'll weave a wreath for you all. ”
The three children looked at each other, and they all remembered the big brother with black earrings, and when he handed them the flowers, he instructed: "I can't tell my sister that I sent them, if my sister knows, there will be no chocolate next time." The three said in unison: "No, this is our secret base, Sister Lin can't go!" ”
Lin Yuan said angrily: "Hmph, I'll give the chocolate to other children." ”
Xiao Le made a big grimace at Lin Yuan, then pulled Yingying and ran away, Xiao Jia nodded at Lin Yuan when he saw this, and also followed. Lin Yuan looked at the backs of the three children, smiled and waved goodbye to them, and sighed in a low voice: "What a calm and peaceful daily life." "Yingying and Xiaojia are both orphans, and they always have to be more sensible.
This is a small island, and you have to walk from one side of the island to the other side for three days and three nights. According to the direction, the island is divided into four districts: east, west, north and south, and Lin Yuan is located in the east district. Everyone here speaks Chinese, the people on the island are simple, the buildings are all built by hand, there is no high-tech existence, and naturally there is no contact with the outside world.
Most of the residents are second-generation infected people who have lost their parents and are minors, and some are members who have been seriously injured and retired from the institute, achieving a perfect model of education for the elderly and learning for the young. Some people do what they like, some people don't do anything, and some people can't do anything. There was no shortage of money or profit, and food was distributed on a regular basis.
Everyone called this the paradise of the intested.
"Yo Lin Yuan, I'm going to the beach again." An uncle who was grinding tofu greeted Lin Yuan, he broke his right hand and left foot, and he experienced a tragic battle at a glance.
Lin Yuan smiled and beckoned to him: "Uncle Wu, grind tofu, I saw your Xiaole just now." "Uncle Wu's full name is Wu Gang, he is in his 40s this year, and his son's name is Wu Le, who is in the group of children who just sent flowers to Lin Yuan.
"Wu Le, that stinky boy, begged for food from you by sending flowers. I'll be back later, bring a few more pieces of tofu back! ”
"Okay, I won't be polite to you, your tofu is tender and smooth, it is indeed the best."
"What's polite, you can eat it if you like, the chocolates you gave Xiaole are fresh."
Yes, here, everything about human civilization is scarce. The chocolate in Lin Yuan's hand was given by Yang Zishen, and he would come to see her from time to time once a week.
"By the way, there has been some chaos on the island recently, you should close the doors and windows tightly at night and don't go out."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Wu for reminding me, I remember, then I'll go first." Wu Gang smiled and sent her away.
Lin Yuan once made a drifting bottle and released it on the sea, trying to judge whether he was still in China by the direction of the current. But she soon discovered that the waters around the island were still.
For a moment, she wondered, why was this place so isolated? Is it to prevent leaks, or do you want the infected to gradually detach themselves from human society? If this is the case, many of the second generations who grew up in paradise will not have the universal values of human society, and their next generation may be the same.
Yinghe once asked if she was a wild infected. If it's the opposite of the wild, it's the infected person of the paradise.
So - First Research wants to create a new world for the infected..... Is it?
When this conclusion was reached, Lin Yuan quickly overturned it again. There are certain bloodline requirements to become infected, the source of life is scarce, and many people will fail to awaken; The institute has also set up an orderly to prevent the infected from interfering with ordinary society. From this, it seems that the research institute does not want to expand the infected population too much, and they are trying to hide the existence of infected people and slates.
And what about this paradise for the intested?
Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out, so she picked up the stone and added another stroke to a big stone by the sea. The full four orthography has been written on it, and today is the 22nd stroke, that is, the 22nd day of my own coming to the island.
"What do you think?" Yang Zishen suddenly appeared behind Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was startled and said speechlessly: "You can't come every time you come without a sound, it's scary." ”
He stood beside Lin Yuan, looking at the endless sea, and said as if he was nothing: "If you want to leave here, then quickly recover your ability." I've told you before that you have antibodies in your body, and the vaccine that dissolves the virus won't work for you. It's you who compress the virus yourself, resulting in an infection rate of less than 1%, so naturally you can't cast your abilities. ”
Lin Yuan lowered his head and played with the sand on the seashore, trying to build a castle. She asked, "How did you find me?" Didn't you say that I fell into the enemy's trap, and that the rescue was too timely. ”
"Lin Yuan, you are doubting me."
"I don't trust you anymore. Now that I think about it, I don't know anything about you, everything about you is heard from other people's mouths. ”
Yang Zi sighed deeply and said disapprehantly, "I'll tell you one day." ”
Lin Yuan didn't answer, she secretly thought to herself: How much of Yang Zishen's liking for herself is true and how much is fake. The man was sometimes cold, sometimes gentle, and she couldn't understand it. If you used to want to devour your own virus, now you have no use value. At the end of the day, he's just a poor pawn who doesn't understand anything.
