Chapter Seventy-One: The Road Ahead

The IPS stem cell reserves in Luo Wei's body are calculated in terms of "human servings", and eating one person stores one serving, which can provide the recovery amount of the whole body regeneration once, and he has been deliberately blocking his ability for seven years, and it was not until the first team battle that he reused the two abilities of "IPS super-rapid regeneration" and "devouring the original form", so the IPS stem cell reserves in the body are not much, and there are only four or five servings.

The vicious battle just now has consumed more than half of the IPS stem cells, and once they are exhausted in the next battle, there will be no capital for super-fast regeneration.

Luo Wei was a little irritable at this time, every second of time passed, the possibility of losing the Eastern Highlands was greater, and he couldn't afford it at all, he looked at Zhang Zhongguo coldly, and said in a low voice: "Wouldn't it be good to die obediently!" Anyway, you were either killed by me or killed by the worm mother, what are you insisting on! ”

"Hahaha, killed by the mother worm? Little brother, it seems that you have not figured out the situation. Zhang Zhongguo suddenly smiled mysteriously, withdrew from the state of boiling blood, lit a cigarette with trembling hands, and then made a move that Luo Wei couldn't believe, he actually walked straight to the terrifying insect mother, and his whole body was very relaxed!

What is this for? Are you going to kill yourself?! Luo Wei was very puzzled, although the insect mother has extremely high intelligence, but she can't communicate with humans like the queen of the insect swarm, plus she is the natural enemy of human beings, so when encountering humans, it has always been indiscriminate attacks, like Zhang Zhongguo swaggering towards the insect mother, what is the difference between that and suicide?

However, in the next second, what happened in front of him completely exceeded Luo Wei's cognition, making him freeze in place.

I saw Zhang Zhongguo walk to the side of the insect mother, stretched out his hand and touched the insect mother's arthropod, but the fierce insect mother had no intention of attacking, and even rubbed Zhang Zhongguo with her limb in a friendly manner.

"I should have told you that I have not only hope here, but also a future." Under Luo Wei's stunned gaze, Zhang Zhongguo sat down on the arthropod of the insect mother, and the giant insect slowly lifted Zhang Zhongguo to his back and let him rest on it.

"How... Perhaps..."Luo Wei felt a sense of suffocation in his mind, he had walked the wilderness for seven years, he had seen all kinds of strange things, it could be said to be a wilderness encyclopedia, but he had never seen any mutated creatures that could get along with humans, not a single one! No exceptions!

These monsters from the cube have a strong bloodthirsty desire, entrenched in the upper echelons of the food chain, and will never show mercy to any humans, and will kill anyone they meet! Everyone must eat! This is a truth that every Wilderness Evolver knows by heart!

But now, when he saw Zhang Zhongguo and the insect mother getting along in such a friendly and almost intimate way, Luo Wei felt that his entire worldview had collapsed, and he now finally understood why the two of them fought so fiercely before and didn't see the insect mother, but when Zhang Zhongguo was about to die, the insect mother suddenly rushed out to intervene in the battle.

"How? There is still room for reconciliation, are you willing to think again? Zhang Zhongguo stood up from the back of the worm mother, took off the cigarette that burned out in his mouth, took a puff of smoke rings elegantly, and said lightly, "In addition to being able to coexist peacefully with mutant creatures, there are many things in this world that you can't imagine, join the rebels with me, I will take you to re-understand the truth of the new era, this is the only way to the future, the glory of the Republic, the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, no matter how powerful these forces are, will one day be wiped out." ”

Seeing that Luo Wu didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Zhongguo re-lit a cigarette and asked calmly in a different way: "Tell me, what are you walking on this wilderness for?" Want to get stronger? For the restoration of the country? Woman? Power? Money? ...”

Zhang Zhongguo was testing one by one, although Luo Wei didn't speak the whole time, Zhang Zhongguo found that when he mentioned the word "relatives", Luo Wei's red eyes trembled unconsciously.

This subtle change was sensitively captured by Zhang Zhongguo, and he smiled heartily and said: "You must love her very much to make you run around the cruel wilderness for so long, if your purpose is to find someone, your personal power is too small, why don't you join us?" We have a huge information network here, and we have successfully helped many soldiers reunite with their loved ones. ”

"You... Can you really help me? The hostility in Luo Wei's eyes was slowly fading, becoming a little godless, he walked the wilderness, or more directly, his only purpose in living in the Honkai Era was to find Luo Wei, if he couldn't find Luo Wei, it didn't make sense to give him anything, and if Luo Wei died, then he would not hesitate to commit suicide, and he would never live alone in this disgusting and dirty wasteland.

So at this time, Luo Wei is really moved, if joining the rebels can improve the hope of finding Luo Wei, then even if he is scolded by others, why not?!

"I can't give you absolute guarantees, but I can tell you that I have a certain position in the rebels, and they certainly don't mind helping someone to please me, and that's a promise I can give you." Zhang Zhongguo stretched out his hand to Luo Wei in the air, his voice revealing a seductive aura, with irresistible magic, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to continue to run aimlessly in the wilderness and recall her figure in your dreams?" Or do you want to see this person you love again and really hold her in your arms? ”

Unconsciously, Luo Wei walked slowly in the direction of Zhang Zhongguo, and the insect mother guards who were blocking the road also seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance, and did not stop Luo Wei, they all got out of the way, and the insect mother even slowly lowered her arthropod and let Luo Wei step on it, so as to lift him on her back.

Luo Wei stood on the arthropod of the insect mother like a walking corpse, he never thought that he could be so close to a mutated creature, in the seven years of wilderness life, Luo Wei had long believed that mutant creatures were the natural enemies of humans in the new era, they feed on humans, hunting and killing every human regardless of individuality, Luo Wei never even gave birth to the idea of peaceful coexistence, there has always been only you living and dying.

At this moment, Luo Wei felt a little trance, as if everything in front of him was just a dream, a dream so long that he couldn't distinguish the reality and hadn't woken up yet.

In the brief process of being lifted, Luo Wei's thoughts couldn't help but begin to migrate, as if he quietly returned to the life without strife and killing seven years ago, he went to school and left school like other peers, worried about difficult homework and exams, cheered for the short but precious vacation, and still had a secret crush in the class that he didn't dare to say.

Immediately after, Luo Wei's thoughts returned to the blockade of the city in the first year of the collapse, and the great and tenacious Iron Army seemed to stand right in front of him, in the most terrifying disaster in human history, they used their flesh and blood to stop the tide of monsters, where heroes were full of heroes, and the city was full of red flags.

The picture began to jump, when the defenders' defense line was completely shattered, endless monsters began to wreak havoc from all directions, the Iron Division had all fallen, corpses were everywhere, and occasionally a few soldiers who were still fighting with the support of faith died with the monsters with their severed limbs holding glorious bullets, at that moment, Luo Wei knew for the first time what it meant to be liver and brain.

In the 3rd year of the collapse, although Luo Wei did not participate in the tragic Great Patriotic War, he still prayed for the heroes who rejected the enemy outside the country in his own way, hoping that the civilization that had lasted for thousands of years could continue to survive in this wasteland under his feet, even if this hope was quietly shattered in the torrent of darkness, he never gave up the unquenchable red fire in his heart.

Four years later, Luo Wei, who has been acting as a lone wolf in the wilderness, finally has a team, with a few partners who can't be trusted, but can fight side by side, the sincere and brave Arnold, the lofty Ling, the pious and holy Al, the heroic sacrifice of Lu Ren, and the talkative and funny Eric, although he never said it in his mouth and rarely thought about it in his heart, but subconsciously he has quietly realized that it is so beautiful to be no longer alone.

In just a few seconds, Luo Wei seemed to have finished recalling half of his life, and when he came back to his senses, it was like a world away...
