Chapter 14 Message

The girl's name is Li Xinran, she is fifteen years old, one of a group of children born after the end of the world, who have grown up in hardship, and she longs to see the blue sky, white clouds, bright moon and birds as described in the book.

Her mother committed suicide when she was four years old, unable to stand the hardships of life and mental depression.

Her father had been on the verge of a nervous breakdown since her mother's death, but he still loved his daughter, but he contracted chronic radiation sickness and gradually collapsed.

China conducted its earliest nuclear tests in the no-man's-land of Aksai Chin, where troops were stationed and a large number of radiation shelters, underground warehouses and underground command posts were dug.

After the Cold War, nuclear testing was abolished, and it became a deserted no-man's land.

The materials for the nuclear tests were removed, a large amount of equipment and equipment and test materials were left behind, and soldiers had to be stationed all year round in order to maintain secrecy and prevent nuclear leakage.

Li Xinran's father was the last batch of soldiers sent to garrison the test base in the name of supporting border defense, and even went through many back doors in order to get this place.

By that time, Aksai Chin had transformed from a wasteland into a beautiful oasis, with majestic peaks and inland lakes dotted around, making it a tourist paradise and a summer resort. The apron of Hotan Airport can rent hundreds of aircraft every day, and it is a thriving and booming scene.

Li Xinran's father misses those years very much, and how he used to pursue Li Xinran's mother, and he often tells his daughter about these past events, the past when the earth was still healthy.

This made Li Xinran very disgusted, and made her disgust clear more than once, but she couldn't stop a mentally disturbed old man from reminiscing about the good times of his youth, not to mention that this old man was still her father.

And on the day he died, Li Xinran neither felt relieved nor sad, just like her father said: "Billions of people have died, and my death is insignificant and not worth griefing." ”

And that day, it was already three years ago, and it was unimaginable that a twelve-year-old little girl had lived alone in this cold wasteland for three years alone and stubbornly, which was terrible.

Food and water are the big problems to be solved first, and her food is basically all from the core of Guanyin fruit, the flesh of which has long been spoiled and air-dried, and there is radiation, making it inedible.

The fir trees here are all over the mountains, but there are not many that bear fruit, and there is basically no area for fruit picking within a radius of 10 kilometers, and it takes her at least an hour to reach the collection area every day.

Collecting the kernel of Guanyin fruit is a very low income behavior, the fir is generally very tall, you have to climb to a very high level to pick Guanyin fruit, and this soybean-sized fruit, the core inside is all shrunken, less than one-third of the fruit size. Its husks are also very hard and must be hammered to open, and the crushed husks can be used as fuel. Fortunately, the climate here is like a natural huge refrigerator, which refrigerates all the kernels that have been fruited more than 20 years ago, so that Li Xinran will not starve to death.

The water is much simpler, and there is snow everywhere outside the house, and although it doesn't fall much every year, it rains a few times a year, and it accumulates more and more.

However, the water obtained by melting snow can not be directly drunk, not only dirty, but also has a lot of radiation, it must be purified by a water purifier, Li Xinran's water purifier broke last year, and now it can only filter out about half a liter of water every day, which is enough to save very much.

……

Li Xinran grabbed the two sugar pills and was a little reluctant to eat them, rolling around on the table, and the tin foil wrapped outside was pinched and deformed by her.

"I forgot to tell you that this is a high-concentration compressed sugar, and you can only eat one piece a day at most, and if you eat too much, you will get sugar poisoning."

"Can sugar also be poisoned?" Li Xinran tilted her head and asked.

Lifus nodded.

"Are you here on a mission?"

Lifus nodded again.

"Are you done?" The two asked and answered questions across the table, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Lifus pointed to the wound on his body, spread his hands and made a helpless movement, meaning do you see my virtue as if he has completed the task?

"Oh, that'...... Are you going back? ”

Lifus finally spoke: "I don't know, I have to contact my teammates or other groups to do it." "It's still uncertain whether the peregrine falcon is alive or dead, and he may be the only survivor of Group Seven.

"Then why don't you contact them?"

"My communicator was hacked, and I didn't dare to turn it on."

"And what's next? What are you doing? ”

"I don't know yet, let's heal the wound first."

"Is it true that they say you won't live more than a week?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"Why are you recovering so quickly?"

"I still don't know."

"Are you really a half-human, half-machine monster? That's what they say......"

"Uh...... How so? It's just a porting of a processor and a hard drive. ”

"What's the difference between that and us?"

"Maybe it's faster than you can count things, and remember things tightly."

"That's it?"

"That's all."

"Can it be understood as an overly intelligent hyperamnesia?"

"Pretty much."

"Well, I'm much more balanced when you say that, although I know what you're saying is certainly not the truth."

“……”

"Why do they all insist that you're the bad guy?"

"I think they might have some misconceptions about the Chosen One."

"So, what is your mission this time? Of course, if it's inconvenient to disclose, forget it, I can understand it. ”

"It's okay, it's not a secret, the report says that there is an eschatological army organization near here, and sent seven of our teams to persuade surrender or extermination, but we found that there is no eschatological army here at all, but it was attacked by unknown armed forces."

"The Apocalyptic Army? Yes, just over there in Fairy Bay, for many years, they have been broadcasting to deceive people, and all the people who went to them have disappeared, and some netizens said that they still eat human flesh! ”

"Fairy Cove? It is more than a hundred kilometers away from the place where we were ambushed, how can there be such a big error? Lifus thought back to every detail of this, if this was not a conspiracy, and there was no internal ghost, then the whole thing would be much more reasonable, the strange selection method of the Heavenly Chosen Project, the various strange orders issued by the headquarters in the past few years, and the various anomalies in the security zone, made him shudder a little.

"Okay, go say hi to your friends, they're all thinking about you."

"Oh." The girl saw that Lifus was a little lacking in interest and did not want to continue the conversation, so she jumped out of her chair and clicked on her computer.

Lifus's mood was a little heavy, and if the idea was true, then his achievements and exploits over the years would have become ridiculous and stupid.

The temperature in the room was a little cold, so he went to fill the stove with some more firewood.

Li Xinran's spirit has been very excited, tirelessly typing in front of the computer, and before she knew it, in the second half of the night, she finally couldn't hold on, fell asleep on the keyboard, and countless X's were pressed out of her arm in the reply that had not yet been sent.

Lifus carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then returned to the computer and began to browse through some of the popular posts on current affairs.

He originally wanted to register an account by himself, but found that many posts required high reading permissions, and could only be viewed with Li Xinran's account.

Among them, there is one of the most popular posts, the number of replies has reached tens of thousands, the landlord Lawrence was originally an outdated second-tier Internet celebrity, he survived the nuclear war, and began to pay attention to the survival of wanderers and scavengers around the world, and he is also famous, he even once mixed into a huge post-apocalyptic army organization, and took a lot of precious video materials. Unlike the average journalist, he prefers to broadcast live, and netizens were shocked when the videos of the apocalyptic army brutally killing civilians were posted directly online.

Those bloody images, without post-production mosaics and editing touches, are displayed naked in front of people through Lawrence's expensive invisible camera pen.

However, this post was made a year ago, and the content is not related to the Doomsday Army, but rather a life experience of Lawrence in the safe zone established by the Salvation League.

Lawrence will cut out the videos that he thinks are important to him, and intersperse them with commentary in each post.

When Lifus saw the second video, he was surprised to find that Lawrence's safe zone had been established by their seventh team two years earlier, in the G404 area of East Africa, near the former Mikumi National Park in Tanzania, which was less affected by the nuclear war, relatively speaking, the radiation was not serious, and the transportation was relatively developed, which was very suitable for the establishment of a safe zone.

It took more than five months to establish this safe zone, and then the seventh team was evacuated, and the safe zone was taken over by the logistics department of the League during this time when Lawrence lived, and the infrastructure of the safe zone in the video was much better than when Lifus and they left, and even the fence had a power grid to prevent the invasion of wild beasts.

Lawrence broadcasts almost all day, so the cut video is full of trivial daily trivialities. He was alert and afraid of surveillance in his bedroom, so he had to run to the toilet every time he cut a video with his phone.

For the first three months, Lawrence kept only a handful of videos, because they were all inconsequential chores, eating, sleeping, farting and shitting, life in the safe zone was as plain as a senior welfare community, and entertainment was limited to playing chess and cards and watching online TV shows.

Later, Lawrence noticed that some people in the safe zone had disappeared inexplicably, and all of them had disappeared after a routine medical examination, so Lawrence took the initiative to conduct a medical examination on the grounds that he was unwell, and it turned out that Lawrence seemed to have been forcibly injected with anesthetics halfway through the medical examination, because the camera of the camera had been capturing the ceiling without any tremors.

The video was left on the ceiling, and a very strange recording of the conversation appeared.

One of the voices said, "Isn't this subject a little too old?" Are you sure it won't be overloaded? ”

Then another voice said: "The cell activity is acceptable, you can try, no way, the above requires to speed up the progress of the experiment, there is no time to pick and choose, we must increase the experimental donors in large quantities, as for the probability of success of the experiment, I can't take care of it for the time being." ”

"But such fanfare makes people suspicious, right? I think the people below don't even bother to make up excuses now, and after a long time, they will be exposed, right? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's exposed, there will be a showdown one day, our business is about to succeed, and we don't need to be tied up like before."

"Well, it's a bit unbelievable that the experiment went so well."

"Relax, man, the world will soon be ours. Okay, I'll go get the surgical tools and the robot, you check the items on him, and turn on the liquid helium cooling circulation compressor by the way. ”

"Okay."

Soon the video ended, and it was supposed that Lawrence's camera pen was found and turned off.

After that, Lawrence never broadcast live, and the video was never uploaded again, and the last video was recorded and uploaded by fans during his live broadcast.

Then the post went viral, with everyone speculating that Lawrence was persecuted by the Confederate organization, and that many more had been, were or were about to be persecuted.

There are many more such posts on the forum, most of which provide evidence of directly or indirectly hearing and witnessing the Confederacy's brutality against civilians.

In another section that Li Fusi has browsed, that is, the section where Li Xinran posted a request for help, called "Military Equipment and Foreign Relations Research and Public Opinion Guidance Office", referred to as "Strategic Flicker Bureau", there is a netizen named "Red Moon West Building", she used to have a fairly happy family, after the nuclear war, she lost her husband, children and even all her immediate family, and then she worked hard to live alone, because she has always believed that the world will get better, and the earth will heal, but unfortunately not, twenty years have passed, Her patience and longing were exhausted by the harsh living environment, she felt that she was bored, so she took the initiative to expose her fixed IP, it was the time when the safety zone of the alliance was questioned by the people, and she wanted to use this way to confirm whether the safety zone was safe or not.

"If I don't post again, then everyone should stay out of the safe zone in the future."

These were the last words she left on the forum.
