Chapter 244: Zhao Mengying
After sending away Jones Lulu and Jones Moon, Shu Yunpeng hurriedly asked someone to prepare food, let Zhang Jingyi eat it, and then sent her back to her room to rest: "Don't listen to it tomorrow!" ”
"Nope! I didn't listen to it with you last time, but this time I must accompany you! Zhang Jingyi said: "Claire, Qin Huaiyu and Yiru are gone. Even Yi Qianya and Professor Huang are dead, I can't let you carry it alone! ”
"Good!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Now lie down and rest. ”
"You can sleep for a while," Zhang Jingyi's eyes were gloomy: "Accompany me ......"
"No, you have to take care of the child......" Shu Yunpeng was afraid that he would not be able to restrain himself at that time, so he refused. But he sat on the edge of the bed, stroked her smooth body, and gently patted her ass to lull her to sleep. After a long time like this, Zhang Jingyi finally fell asleep.
Shu Yunpeng quietly got up and walked out of the door, he came to the small conference room, and began to bow his head and ponder alone. The amount of information he got from the Jones guy today was too much, and he needed to clean it up.
Judging from what Jones Lulu said, there seems to be some truth to Jones's lack of interest. Just imagine, if he Shu Yunpeng also clones once, what would the result be?
He struggled to recall the scenes of his world, and he found that many things were already vague to him. His father, his mother, his brother, the memories of them, have all become fragments, as if they have become fragments that should be deleted!
The love between him and Yiqun was haunting in his dreams, but when he thought about it carefully, it was almost just paragraphs and chapters. Many processes, many details, have also died out naturally. The rest of the memories, in the cloning process, can still be retained, he is completely unsure.
And everything after he crossed over, assuming that he could run out and successfully escape this catastrophe, then, after several cloning to continue his life, he would probably never remember Yi Ru, Qin Huaiyu, Claire, or even that he was an earthling. If you have to rely on pre-recorded materials to know yourself, is that kind of life continuation meaningful?
There is no need to argue, people's memories will naturally decay, and the more time passes, the more details are lost, and in the end they will become memory fragments!
It's really scary to think about, in the end, he has been cloned a few times, and as an emotional creature living person, all the emotional memories he cherishes must have disappeared. He will no longer have memories of his parents, brothers, lovers, or any other life trajectories. When the time comes, will he Shu Yunpeng still be Shu Yunpeng? ……
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he got up and walked slowly to the bridge. In the distance, he saw Elizabeth standing by the porthole, looking through a telescope.
"What's wrong?" Shu Yunpeng walked up to Elizabeth and asked.
"The Jones are outside," said Elizabeth, handing him the binoculars, "a lot of people, I don't know what they're doing!" ”
Shu Yunpeng took the telescope and looked into the distance. He saw a lot of Jones people busy there, as if they were collecting something.
"They are collecting some useful things," Shu Yunpeng returned the telescope to Elizabeth: "If you want to live here for twenty years, you really need to collect supplies as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to collect them when the temperature rises to a certain level." ”
"The resources on our earth, let them collect them so casually?" Elizabeth seemed dissatisfied: "Don't greet us either!" ”
"The earth belongs to the universe!" Shu Yunpeng smiled bitterly, he knew that many earthlings had not turned a corner, and he thought that the earth was decided by the earthlings: "The universe said: It's time to play enough!" So, twenty years later, even us, and the Joneses, will be taken away! ”
"That's ......," said Elizabeth, "Colonel......"
"Huh?" Seeing that Elizabeth shouted and disappeared, Shu Yunpeng turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”
"I want to ask," Elizabeth asked, after a pause, "is what the Jones man said today?" ”
"Do you think it's fake?"
"I don't know......," Elizabeth whispered, "but I find it a bit alarmist." ”
"Can you tell us why?"
"I can't say it......" Elizabeth sighed, "and it may be very difficult to lose memories, especially some good memories. But it's not so serious that you don't want to live, right? There are memories that we want to forget! ”
"There's some truth to what you're saying. Everyone may have some memories of the past, and it's good to forget them. But the question is, what happens if you live like them for so long and forget the memories that are precious to you? …… For example, if you cloned once and you forgot about Claire, how would you feel? ”
"I won't forget Claire!" Elizabeth said categorically: "She is my sister, I can't forget her!" ”
Shu Yunpeng was stunned: "Claire is your sister?" How did Claire never mention it? ”
"I was raised by General Emma...... Elizabeth whispered. She was regretting in her heart, and she accidentally said that she had leaked her mouth.
"That's ...... so"
"Yes, I've been with General Emma since I was eight years old, and I've spent more time with General Emma than Claire has with her mother, and I'm her little orderly!" Elizabeth said: "When General Emma was killed, I was fifteen years old, and I was a soldier in the army...... Claire was only sixteen years old that year, and she also joined the army as a soldier. ”
"Later, Claire formed a special combat team and transferred you to be the captain of the special combat team, is that true?"
"Yes!"
"Understood," Shu Yunpeng nodded and said. He used to hate the relationship and thought it was cronyism. But now he understands that this is a common phenomenon. Who wants to be surrounded by people who are not close to them? Even if it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, it is necessary to have a certain emotional foundation to do things: "You said that you followed General Emma at the age of eight, why did you get to the army at such a young age?" Are you an orphan? ”
"I'm not an orphan, but I'm almost ...... orphan"
Shu Yunpeng waited quietly, but Elizabeth didn't say anything, and he didn't ask. Some things are purely personal matters, and if the person concerned doesn't want to talk about it, don't break the casserole and ask to the end.
But he had already guessed that Elizabeth had a difficult childhood. She wanted to forget her childhood memories, so she didn't think it was scary to forget some of them.
"Alright, it's getting late, it's time to rest...... See you tomorrow, Elizabeth! ”
"See you tomorrow, Colonel!"
Watching Shu Yunpeng leave, Elizabeth kept staring at his back until he disappeared completely. She let out a long sigh, her heart going up and down.
It seems that Claire kept her promise and did not tell him who she was, and Elizabeth felt a little relieved. Claire is dead, and her Elizabeth's secret is never known again. It was a good thing for her, but somehow, Elizabeth was upset.
Is it because of his grudge with his sister? Or is it because she is now by his side and has become his direct subordinate? Or did she have some kind of secret hope for him?
She didn't know, maybe she had both. Facing such a strong man every day, listening to him, watching him do things, and occasionally smelling the masculinity exuded from him, how many women can resist?
But that's certainly not what she's struggling with. Seeing the beautiful women around him, she was self-aware. She was mediocre in appearance, but she was hated by her biological mother because of her ugliness, so that in the end she had to run away from home and live on the streets. A sense of inferiority has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and she will not be so stupid to touch the hidden pain in her heart.
What she struggled with was because the name Elizabeth was given by General Emma. She was taken in by the then Major Emma during her wanderings, and Emma asked her what her name was, and she didn't say it because it gave her painful memories and she didn't want to say it. Emma had no choice but to say, "I'll call you Elizabeth in the future!" ”
But no matter how much she tried to forget, she still remembered her original name, her name was Zhao Mengying! Maybe this is the opposite of things, and I deliberately want to forget, but I remember it more firmly.
Maybe it's because she remembers it too much, and she accidentally leaked a little bit today, and he already knows about her relationship with Emma and Claire.
Shu Yunpeng returned to his cabin, and Zhang Jingyi was waiting for him.
"Why don't you sleep?"
"I've slept for a long time! You let me sleep all day long, I'm a pig! Zhang Jingyi smiled: "What are you talking about, talking for so long?" ”
"We talked about Claire, Elizabeth called Sister Claire," Shu Yunpeng said, "She said that she was brought up by General Emma, have you heard of this?" ”
"I've heard of it," said Zhang Jingyi, "that Elizabeth lived on the streets at the age of eight and was taken in by Emma. It is said that Elizabeth's mother had two daughters, and Elizabeth was the eldest daughter. For some reason, her mother was very fond of her little daughter and hated Elizabeth. Every day she was beaten and scolded, she couldn't stand it and ran out and lived on the streets, and then she was taken in by General Emma and kept with her all the time. ”
"It seems that I guessed correctly," Shu Yunpeng said, "and her personal experience has made her doubt the Jonesesian claim that people have some memories that they want to forget, so it is not unacceptable to lose some of them." She thinks that Jones people don't want to live because they lose their memories, which doesn't make sense. ”
"Don't say it, there is some truth in her idea," Zhang Jingyi agreed: "Of course, Jones people have lived millions or even tens of millions of years, and we definitely can't understand their feelings." ”
Shu Yunpeng didn't answer, his thoughts turned to another matter: "You said that since Elizabeth was raised by Claire's mother, why did Claire never tell me that she had this relationship with Elizabeth?" ”
"She really didn't tell you?" Zhang Jingyi is also a little strange.
"I really didn't say it!" Shu Yunpeng said: "So when Elizabeth said it just now, I was really surprised. ”
"That's weird...... Claire and you have nothing to talk about, how can you pull this thing down? Zhang Jingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I ask Elizabeth?" ”
"Forget it," Shu Yunpeng said, "Maybe Claire doesn't think it's necessary to say it?" ”
