Chapter 10: Humanity (Finale)

I don't know if it's the persuasion of the movie's male protagonist Sam Hall, or the continuous cooling of the outside world has reached the critical point of human body temperature, allowing the survivors to gradually cool all the emotions in their hearts.

So.

Just when Shen Zhu leaned against a window in the reading room on the third floor to eat the food in his hand, he found that piles of people were gradually gathering in the reading room, but there was no sacred tree in their hands, so it was so cold that they draped all their clothes, cotton materials, and even curtains and carpets on their bodies.

When passing through the second floor, Shen Zhu found that the doors of all the rooms were open, and they were all tightly closed, and it seemed that there was a crowd inside.

When Shen Zhu cautiously stepped over the crowd gathered at the corner of the stairs and returned to the hall on the first floor, he found that there were not many survivors on the first floor, and they were all crowded under the stairs to keep warm.

Superman and Sam Hale are still talking in place.

"What's going on?"

Shen Zhu went from the third floor to the first floor with a puzzled mind, and all the survivors who were crowded together on the way, they did not have a divine tree in their hands.

"How can this be done, if my 'lambs' are frozen, who shall provide me with a source of willingness?"

These thoughts made Shen Zhu's lazy attitude suddenly change, and he walked towards Superman Mark Jason with a somewhat indifferent expression, pointed to the group of trembling survivors opposite, and asked in a cold tone, "What's going on?" Why didn't they take the sacred tree with them? ”

First of all, he was shocked by Shen Zhu's indifferent attitude, because Shen Zhu's attitude before was indifferent and lazy, like nothing in the world could arouse his interest.

And now his sudden indifferent accusations made the male protagonist Sam Hall and Superman a little stunned, how could he suddenly care about the well-being of the survivors.

"They have now lost trust in Superman and are not willing to accept his help." The male protagonist Sam Hall looked at Superman with a low look on his face, and replied to Shen Zhu.

"Superman can't help it, because they don't want to hear a word from Superman." The heroine Laura also commented.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing that Superman Mark Jason still had an expression of "lost and without parents" and didn't want to explain, Shen Zhu had nothing to say for a while, he couldn't blame him, and it was not his turn to comfort him.

Then Shen Zhu, who was speechless, secretly complained about both:

"This Superman is made of glass, too fragile, but the survivors don't know what to do, so they say that you eat and wear, this is also Superman He got it, you are bullish, if you have a kind of take off your warm clothes and don't eat food!?"

Spit should be complained, but the business still has to be done.

Shen Zhu felt that he couldn't let the survivors and Superman stalemate like this, and it was he who would lose even more at that time, and he finally found such a high-quality source of willpower.

So even though he was a little angry with the survivors now, he had to grit his teeth and endure it for the sake of the source of his willβ€”he was ready to play in person.

While thinking of a way, Shen Zhu suddenly found that the survivors in the hall on the first floor and on the corner of the stairs were part of the group of people he had brought back before, and then he felt that there was a way.

So Shen Zhu walked up to a mother and son, squatted down and said to the little boy, "Hey, little boy, do you love your mother?" β€œ

At this time, the little boy was curled up in his mother's arms, only revealing a small head to breathe air, because he had been hungry before, so his eyes were very energetic and beautiful, like sparkling sapphires.

As soon as he heard Shen Zhu ask him if he loved his mother, he directly showed a smile and said with a white smoke: "Love." β€œ

Although it is a very simple word, it is something that many adults can't say, so as soon as he heard the boy say it very definitely and directly, Shen Zhu suddenly smiled, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Very good, you are a good boy." That, this is your brother's reward for you. β€œ

As he spoke, Shen Zhu, who was pretending to be tender, took out a handful of chocolate candy directly from his pocket and put it in his hand, and then said to his mother: "I think you have a very good child, and he loves you very much, so madam, in order to let the child grow up healthily, you need it now." β€œ

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhu handed his bonsai tree to the child's mother and motioned for her to reach out and hold it.

And the mother's eyes looked straight at Shen Zhu's facial expression, but Shen Zhu was like an actor possessed, and his face was full of sincere hope.

After a while.

"I've lost the father of the child, but I can't live without the child, so, thank you." The mother suddenly burst into tears, and then took the sacred tree in Shen Zhu's hand.

"Hey, another sad man."

Maybe Shen Zhu felt a little guilty and didn't want to face this meeting, so he didn't stay for a long time to talk, said goodbye to the boy and left.

The other side.

Since Shen Zhu walked to the crowd at the bottom of the stairs, the male protagonist Sam Hale and Superman turned their attention to him, and they have been paying attention to him quietly.

So after seeing a woman take over the sacred tree from Shen Zhu's hand, they immediately became happy.

So much so that the male protagonist Sam Hall came up directly and wanted to give Shen Zhu a hug: "Hey, now I think you're a good person." β€œ

Hearing this, Shen Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Everyone has been together for a day, and you are still doubting my motives", while thinking in his heart, because Shen Zhu was not used to the Western hug ceremony, he waved his hand and signaled Sam Hall to step back: "I am a man with a normal sexual orientation, so I am more looking forward to Ms. Laura's hug." β€œ

As he spoke, Shen Zhu embraced the heroine Laura.

"What?"

Shen Zhu's words made the male protagonist Sam Hall's face stiffen, and then he hurriedly explained: "I am also a normal man, and my preference is women." β€œ

After Shen Zhu gently hugged the heroine Laura, he turned back to the male protagonist Sam Hall and said, "I didn't say that you are not a normal man, but now, what I am more looking forward to is who the woman you like is." β€œ

All of a sudden, the atmosphere was a little gossipy, and everyone focused their attention on Sam Hale.

Sam Hall, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed, first glanced at the heroine Laura, and found that she was staring at him with a smile at this time; Suddenly, the pressure of time surged into Sam Hale's heart, causing him to keep the words tightly in his mouth.

……

Then everyone didn't tease Sam Hale much, because, after Shen Zhu's action, everyone felt motivated, it turned out that the survivors did not completely refuse Superman's help, they needed the Divine Tree.

Therefore, under the leadership of Shen Zhu and with the help of Superman's full energy, everyone distributed the Divine Tree one by one to the hands of the survivors in the hall on the first floor and at the corner of the stairs.

"Anyway, these people are really hypocritical."

Seeing this scene, or two or three people hugging the sacred tree with their hands, Shen Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Suddenly, he remembered the code he had agreed with the World Tree, and every time he wiped his eyelids, the World Tree appeared.

So Shen Zhu wiped his eyes, and suddenly the world in front of him changed into a different appearance:

There was a long path that stretched straight from Shen Zhu's position to the position of the World Tree, like an undersea tunnel, and he stood in it, and he could see the colorful scenery of the bottom of the sea through the transparent glass.

So at this time, the library is still a library, with the male protagonist Sam Hall, the female protagonist Laura, and Superman Mark Jason...... and the survivors, they still continued to move, but Shen Zhu seemed to be walking in another world, like a void shadow shuttling straight through their bodies.

It didn't take long for Shen Zhu to come to the World Tree, at this time it was less than Shen Zhu's waist, it was very short, except for the trunk, there were only three branched tree bars, each tree had three crystal clear young leaves, very similar to made of delicate and moist jade.

Sitting on the ground, looking at the World Tree, Shen Zhu opened his mouth and said, "My task will be completed soon, what about you." β€œ

It may be that the World Tree thinks that the way of text communication is better, so it directly displays a line of font in the mid-air in front of Shen Zhu's eyes: "Not yet, there are still ten fanatical believers and a thousand true believers short of the wish power, so that it can brew into a mouthful of wish power spring water." β€œ

According to the division of labor between Shen Zhu and the World Tree, he went to turn the human beings in the "The Day After Tomorrow" movie into believers in the World Tree, and the World Tree not only searched for and rooted in the origin of the world, but also brewed the believer's wish power into a mouth of the wish power spring.

As for the Wishing Power Spring Water, what is its effect, Shen Zhu also asked, but the World Tree only told him that it had an effect on him, and did not explain it in detail.

And Shen Zhu was self-aware, and felt that the World Tree was considering that it was difficult for him to understand the meaning of high-level things for a while.

For example, Shen Zhu wants to learn number theory and differential geometry, but he is still in the stage of learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations within 100 numbers - now he "can", or "can", ask the professor to explain the knowledge points of number theory and differential geometry to him?

"Not enough?"

In his opinion, after the tsunami hit, the survivors of New York were extremely willing to accept the belief in the new gods.

While thinking to himself, Shen Zhu turned his head to look at the activity scene in the library that seemed to be close in front of him but far away:

Each sacred tree is an altar for the World Tree to receive the power of wishes, just like the idols of churches, temples and temples, and to receive the worship of the believer's power of wishes and incense.

At this time, in Shen Zhu's eyes, the foreheads of the survivors exuded a little white or gray-white wishing power point at every moment, and after receiving the wishing power point, the divine tree emitted warm red ripples.

According to the information instilled to Shen Zhu by the World Tree, the color of the wishing power indicates the quality of the believer's willingness, which is divided into five levels: gray, gray-white, white, milky-white, and golden; Moreover, they represent the classes of believers: unbelievers, shallow believers, true believers, fanatical believers, and apostles.

The warm red ripples are the remnants of the World Tree's transformation of the power of the wish into spring water, evolving into ripples of power to resist the breath of ice.
