Chapter 59: Chain of Suspicion
"Humanity is doomed!"
Lin Xi's pessimistic prophecy instantly rumbled and echoed on the ruins, deafening.
If he had faith in the revival of humanity before, that confidence has now been shattered by the threat of "instinct".
The fortresses were all destroyed from the inside.
It is conceivable that in the reconstruction of human social order after the disaster, superpowers will inevitably occupy the position of leaders, and most people will probably not announce their struggle with instinct to the outside world out of privacy considerations, just like Lin Xi and Wu Qiuli at this time, if they didn't happen to talk about the little apple, I'm afraid that the two of them still think that their experience of fighting with instinct is the only one of the scorpions.
This is still a friendship between the two who have lived and died together many times.
If it were a potential competitor in a complex political environment, I am afraid that it would not be able to talk about this hidden concern.
Because in the absence of communication, everyone is afraid that only they have this problem, and everyone is afraid that others will attack themselves with this, which is like the presidential election in the United States, and if there is nothing, you have to catch the wind and splash a basin of dirty water on your brain, not to mention this kind of "let him be the boss and go crazy at any time"?
Who would want to let a person who may go crazy and destroy themselves at any time be their leader?
But no one will take the initiative to communicate about this, and even if they do, others will probably suspect and say, oh, do you know what I am doing, so you deliberately use this statement to trick me? No, I can't be honest.
As a result, a chain of suspicion between people is formed, and it can no longer be solved.
In short, as long as this kind of psychology is prevalent, then concealment is almost the general trend, and when this concealment continues until the new social order is completely re-established, it is tantamount to planting a super mine in humanity from above to bottom.
Once it erupts, the blow to humanity will be absolutely devastating, and the consequences may even be more serious than the time when the cloud of death appeared.
Similarly, even if the overall situation of human beings is not considered, the instinctive threat is also a real problem that Lin Xi and the three of them must face now.
Before Lin Xi said, "Even if I die", in fact, he already had the idea of Tuogu, but at that time, he at least thought that Wu Qiuli was normal, but the cruel facts then proved that the danger of being controlled by instinct now exists very fairly in three people at the same time, the difference is only who is controlled first and who is controlled later.
In this case, it would be inappropriate to carry out the previous plan.
At the moment, the better choice for the three of them is to evolve together, and also make sure that they all evolve to the same degree.
For example, like Wu Qiuli, her evolution speed is a little slower, so she will go out hunting under the clouds a few more times; The little apple evolves the fastest, and it is enough to come out once in a while. Only in this way can we ensure that when one person falls into the call of instinct and goes berserk, the other two can join forces to restrain him, or at least run away.
"It's really desperate."
Wu Qiuli lowered her beautiful head and muttered in frustration.
Lin Xi's words are not difficult to understand, she just thought about it a little and understood the cruel choice behind it.
"That is, one day, two of us will join forces to kill the other, and then the remaining two will continue to kill each other in the near future, or go their separate ways, until there is only one murderer left?"
The girl's beautiful eyes widened and she quietly looked at Lin Xi's toes.
Although she spoke in a tone like a joke, there was a chilling black humor to listen to.
"Don't be discouraged, at least we're alive now."
Lin Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the reckless clouds above his head, his eyes were like knives, "As long as we live, there is still hope in our lives!" ”
I've never been a dragon who keeps shouting against the sky, but I'm never going to stop there!
At this moment, dark clouds suddenly rolled in his eyes, lightning and thunder, but he just muttered to himself silently in his heart.
At this point, the conversation between the two about instinct is over.
In fact, up to now, everything they talked about had been based on speculation, without any substantive evidence, and they had said a lot of desperate things, but they were either intuition or inferences anyway, so in essence, their conversation was no different from ordinary idle talk.
But one thing is clear.
That is, at least the two of them are still alive now, and it is foreseeable that they will definitely continue to work hard to live in the future.
And just like Lin Xi said at the end, as long as you live, there is hope, even if there is a cliff in front of you, you must have hope.
After all, life is like a hike that can't be turned back, and as long as you don't reach the end, you never know what the final scenery will look like, right?
"Let's go, I'll send you back first."
Lin Xi stared at the sky for a while, retracted his gaze, and said lightly, "You accompany Little Apple, and then tell her that we will take her out next time, remember to tell her more things that need attention." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm going to find something."
Lin Xi replied calmly, and suddenly smiled again, "It's a surprise." ”
……
With a bang, the wooden door of the safe passage of a residential building was kicked apart by Lin Xi, and it was instantly opened.
The next moment, Lin Xi had already stepped in without hesitation.
Unlike the dormitory building that used to live in the university town, as long as someone is in the dormitory, the door of the school dormitory is almost always open except for sleeping time, so when the clouds of death come, the zombies can run around the corridor, but the residential buildings in the community are different, and the living habits of urban residents determine that most of the other zombies are locked in their own homes except for those who are opening the door when the clouds fall.
In a sense, residential buildings may even be the safest place in the city, at least countless times safer than corpse-strewn streets.
Coming out of the safe passage and turning another corner, Lin Xi officially stepped into the living area of the residential building.
Because of the design, the corridor of this building is very dimly lit, with door-to-door security doors on both sides, a long and narrow walkway, and only a small window at the end.
A dim light shone in through the window, cutting out a figure that was walking slowly.
Seeing the figure, Lin Xi was startled at first, then calmed down, walked over quickly, and raised his hand at the same time to beckon, "Hi ......"
In the last month, he has seen a number of thousands of zombies, and the unified feature of these zombies is that when they are not alarmed by the prey, they are all motionless like real corpses, and like this figure, they will move slowly, and they are definitely not the zombies he is used to.
As for saying that this person might be a thug, then he is even less worried.
Because even the superpowers among the thugs like Strange Li Nan and Tu Zhang were beaten to death by him, just by virtue of the person in front of him alone, as long as he dared to show a little bit of bad intentions, Lin Xi promised that he could kick him off the eighth floor with a single kick!
The current Lin Xi is not the little rookie at the beginning of the cataclysm, the head-killing zombie has to vomit for a long time!
However, just as he took two more steps, the light coming in from the window suddenly illuminated the man's face, and then Lin Xi's footsteps stopped suddenly!
"Uh...... Uh......"
The words behind his "hi" word were all suffocated back into his throat at this moment, turning into a series of strange sounds with unknown meanings!
"Holy!"
