Chapter 17: Honesty

After many years of improvement, the noise of the railroad steam locomotive has been minimized, but the sound of the steam engine depressurization when it starts cannot be reduced in any way, and then it replaces the bell and becomes the signature sound at the time of departure. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Without the stimulation of electricity, the pace of human life will slow down; Living in the circle surrounded by the city wall, there is only domestic demand and no foreign trade, and all walks of life do not have much room for development and expansion.

The tram steam locomotive is also running leisurely, the speed is not fast, about 100 meters and five seconds in the section with few people, the speed is doubled in the section with many people, and there are also board cars, bicycles, rickshaws and other vehicles that do not need to consume fuel in the city.

"Na! That's where I went to school, and there's a water tank on it. Qi Yunxiao pointed to the water storage tank on the roof of the building in the distance and said.

Chen Zhen glanced at it, silent as always.

The building must not exceed ten meters, so all the buildings are almost repaired to ten meters, to "see" the buildings in the distance, you can only see the things on the roof, the roofs of public facilities have water tanks for fire extinguishing, and the rest are varied, there are pergolas, tents, flower beds, drying racks, there are barbed wire fences to raise animals, chickens, rabbits, dogs, and even pigs and cattle, anyway, as long as there is no harm in the earthquake, you can do anything on the roof.

Compared with the city before the catastrophe, Liangcheng is very backward, even a little primitive, but compared with the outside of the city, it is a paradise, stable and rich in material conditions, of course, there are also public security problems, stealing, robbing, and defrauding these three crimes are still headaches, and murders occasionally occur, as long as there are interests, this kind of thing cannot disappear from human society.

The passengers kept going up and down, seeing the four people sitting in the back of the car, some said hello, nodded and greeted, and occasionally met the off-duty wolf guards to accompany their families to go out, they were the first to know that the bones entered the city, most of them knew about yesterday's battle outside the city, even if they hadn't seen Chen Zhen, they could react immediately when they saw the bandaged left arm, they were pierced in the chest yesterday, and they went to the street today, or the deputy captain and Qi Yunxiao were accompanied, and those wolf guards guessed that there was a special reason, but they didn't come up to say hello.

The gaze that stayed on Chen Zhen was the most, and the time was the longest, and there were many glances and peeks, which made Chen Zhen feel very uncomfortable, but before leaving, Zhou Ding had already told him that choosing this point in time and using such a way of travel was to let people see, the more people who watched it today, the fewer people who watched it in the future, and the long pain was better than the short pain.

Chen Zhen expressed his understanding, he endured those gazes, looked out the window, and his body shook slightly at the moment when the railroad steam locomotive in the opposite direction staggered by.

He saw a picture of the passengers in the opposite steam locomotive, looking through the window, he could see a child riding a bicycle, who must have just learned it, with a frightened expression on his face; A lean man pulling a rickshaw is wiping his sweat with a towel around his neck; The backs of a couple walking into a store, and a middle-aged man turning his head to look behind him.

There is nothing special about this picture, it is just an ordinary street scene, just a picture of the moment when the wrong car is wrong, Chen Zhen doesn't know those people, but this picture is not the first time he has seen it, countless pictures flashed in his eyes when he jumped from the top of the building, this is one of them.

He couldn't remember those pictures anymore, and when he saw them, they were blurry, but when a scene in a certain picture appeared in front of him, the pictures he had seen before would become clearer.

It's not the first time Chen Zhen has encountered such a situation, in the past few years, he has seen some of them, the picture he saw when he fell from the building was out of order, he didn't know what the meaning was, what made him more concerned was the tall humanoid black shadow in one of the pictures, and a picture looking down on the earth from a high altitude.

"What? What do you see? Qi Yunxiao glanced back at the oncoming steam locomotive that drove over, her attention had been on Chen Zhen, and she found his shock at that moment, and talking to him all the way was also to reduce his uneasiness when he was watched by everyone.

"I saw a picture that I had seen before." In addition to simplicity, Chen Zhen's life philosophy is also frank.

"Ah, I know, that feeling of 'déjà vu', I always feel like I've seen that picture before." Qi Yunxiao nodded, almost everyone has experienced the phenomenon of déjà vu.

"Different." Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "I've really seen it, not déjà vu." ”

These words also aroused the interest of Yang Yan and Zhou Ding, and they looked at him.

"How is that possible? Where have you seen it? Have you ever been on this train with us? Qi Yunxiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"When I committed suicide by jumping off a building." Chen Zhen said lightly.

"Huh? When? Last night? Qi Yunxiao was stunned, ten meters high, if you can make your head hit the ground, you will indeed fall to death, with Chen Zhen's skills, there is no building outside the city, Chen Zhen arrived in Liangcheng yesterday afternoon, if you want to commit suicide, you can only commit suicide last night.

"Past lives." Chen Zhen naturally said this very unnatural word.

"Former ......" Qi Yunxiao no longer knew how to answer.

Chen Zhen didn't know how to explain it, no matter how frank and honest he was, it was impossible for him to explain things he couldn't understand.

"You...... Keeping memories of past lives? Yang Yan forcibly found an explanation, one that best understood.

Chen Zhen nodded slightly: "It can be understood in this way, but things are not that simple." ”

"But...... Shouldn't retaining the memories of your past life be your biggest secret? That's what it's written in the novel. Qi Yunxiao looked like he had figured it out, this kind of thing is easier to understand when it is associated with fantasy novels.

"I can't think of a reason to hide it." Chen Zhen never thought that he would talk about this matter to others, and he never thought of hiding it.

"Indeed, why keep it a secret?" Qi Yunxiao tilted his head and thought for a while: "Afraid of being taken as a madman?" This is the only reason that is more reliable, but ...... This reason is almost never used in the novel. ”

"What did you do in your previous life?" Zhou Ding didn't read so many novels, but he was curious about Chen Zhen's past life, this matter was a little delicate, he trusted Chen Zhen very much, and he also believed that Chen Zhen was not talking nonsense and making up stories, but the topic of "previous life" was too mysterious, especially when it came out of Chen Zhen's mouth, the contrast was too great.

"Killers." Chen Zhen didn't hide this matter, and he couldn't find a reason to hide it.

"Same as I guessed." Zhou Ding said happily and asked again: "Then why did you commit suicide?" Chased to the point of desperation? Don't tell me it's guilt, that's bloody. ”

"Disease." Chen Zhen remembered the picture of looking down on the earth from high school, all the perspectives of the pictures were his own, and that picture was probably what he saw when he fell again.

Zhou Ding let out an "oh" and didn't ask anything more, the disease that can make someone like Chen Zhen commit suicide by jumping off a building will definitely bring out a lot of painful memories.

"Alright, let's get out of the car, we're going to start walking, are you okay?" Yang Yan glanced out the window and asked Chen Zhen.

The journey to the hospital was divided into three sections, the section near the city wall and the section near the city center because there were relatively few people, the efficiency of walking on the street was low, it was better to take a steam locomotive, and the middle section of the road was more lively due to the large number of residents, and it was better to walk, but Chen Zhen was injured, and walking would definitely be more painful.

This is also something that can't be helped, yesterday's rumors spread too fast and fiercely, and the wolf guard had to respond as soon as possible, the sooner he took Chen Zhen shopping, the less impact the rumors would have.

"No problem." Chen Zhen stood up.

The wound still hurts, but this little pain is really nothing to him.

…………

The four of them got off the train at the station and continued to walk towards the city center, Yang Yan and Zhou Ding were star-level figures, there were more people who greeted and said hello, and Chen Zhen was also baptized by more eyes.

It didn't take long for Qin Shan to join them, his task was originally to follow those who were watching, to find out Lin Jin's plan, it would be better to know the purpose of his coming to Liangcheng, but special circumstances arose, and he had to show up.

"Lin Jin took a few leopard attendants to go shopping in front." Qin Shan greeted passers-by, did not move his lips, and said in a low voice.

His reputation in Liangcheng is not small, the reconnaissance team is responsible for reconnaissance and patrol the area around Liangcheng, and when encountering mutant creatures that may be threatening, they can be led away, and if they can't be led away, they will immediately return to the city to report the news, they are considered to be people who are fighting on the front line, the reconnaissance team rarely participates in the battle, and generally does not need to face the danger, but they are the hardest team in the wolf guard, and the reconnaissance team reduces a lot of danger for the wolf guard, Qin Shan's reputation in Liangcheng is not as good as Yang Yan and Zhou Ding, but within the wolf guard, the degree of respect is no less than the two.

The captain of the reconnaissance patrol is the best candidate for the captain of the internal guard, and Qin Shan is likely to be the "police chief" of Liangcheng in the future.

"This time probably won't be a coincidence, the question is how did they know about our plan?" Zhou Ding frowned and said, this time the route of action is only the five of them, and several of Qin Shan's subordinates know that Lin Jin can actually appear on their route of travel, or can he "meet" the walking stage, which is worth thinking about.

If you can communicate remotely, it is relatively simple to do this, but there is no electricity in the city, and it is impossible to have a means of remote communication, Lin Jin wants to appear "exactly" in front, there are only two possibilities.
