Wang Lu blinked, he raised his head and saw several people sitting beside him - Mu Yuan, Huang Yinfeng, and Dong Dong.

"What's wrong?" He asked, and then he immediately realized that he was not in the building that had temporarily served as a headquarters during the war with the fortress, but in a ward, and the furnishings of the room were very simple, just a bed, a table, a few chairs, and he was lying on the bed.

Wang Lu opened his mouth half-open, and he didn't know what to say - wasn't he ordered by Xu Jie to arm the zombies and put a gun to his head? But why are you here? And, most importantly, why do you have no memory of why you came here and are still lying in bed?

Mu Yuan said excitedly: "Are you awake?" Good guy, you slept for a whole month, I have never seen a zombie corpse sleep, if it weren't for Huang Yinfeng saying that she could still sense your deep brain waves, I thought this was the way the corpse died. ”

Go to bed? Slept on your own for a whole month? However, aren't both zombies and smart corpses "perpetual motion machines" that will never sleep?

Wang Lu looked at Huang Yinfeng on the side, Huang Yinfeng was facing him with a disfigured face, and when she saw Wang Lu looking at her, she shrugged her shoulders: "Don't ask me, Mu Yuan and I got a notice from Dong Dong in the courtyard, and when you came here, you were already asleep, and I was as confused as you as you were about the cause and effect." ”

Wang Lu was busy looking for Dong Dong all over the room, only to find that the Dong Dong he saw when he woke up was no longer in the room, and the half-hidden door indicated that the child had just slipped out.

Wang Lu felt that he had a stomach full of words to ask, but he didn't know how to speak, he looked at Huang Yinfeng, and suddenly asked, "You have been here with me for a month, and you haven't returned to your courtyard?" ”

Huang Yinfeng said goodbye to his disfigured face, and said in a dull tone: "I don't need to sleep." It's the same everywhere. ”

Wang Lu just wanted to say something, but Mu Yuan, who had been tinkering beside him for a while, came to the side of the bed: "You just woke up not long ago, don't talk too much." Giving, drink some blood, replenish nutrients. As he spoke, he handed over a blood bag.

Wang Lu took it naturally. He took a big sip with the straw in his mouth, but he quickly frowned and snorted. Spit out the straw: "What kind of blood is this?" How does this taste ...... Why doesn't it taste at all? ”

Mu Yuan was stunned: "This is my blood?" I smoked it half an hour ago, and I originally wanted to inject it into you, but now that you are awake, I will give you a drink. ”

Wang Lu said: "It's strange, I drink this blood, and it doesn't taste at all, it's just like drinking cold and white...... Well. Wait, what are you pumping blood for me? ”

Huang Yinfeng said: "I asked Mu Yuan to draw blood for you, you haven't woken up for a long time, I don't know what method to use to wake you up, even Wen Lao can't be sure if you can wake up again." I thought that it would be beneficial to get you some blood, so I asked Mu Yuan to draw blood regularly and inject it into your body. ”

Wang Lu found out that Mu Yuan's face was really a little pale because of continuous blood loss, and his spirit was extremely poor, he didn't expect Mu Yuan to be able to do this for himself, he nodded at Mu Yuan: "I owe you a great favor." ”

Mu Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed: "You don't have to thank me, in fact, my blood is injected into your body, it is useless at all, until today, you were sleeping like a dead man - I am talking about a real dead person, and then, you suddenly woke up, and there were no symptoms at all." He said with pain: "I think Lao Tzu's blood was drawn to you in vain." ”

"Mu Yuan, of course your blood was pumped to Wang Lu for nothing, I persuaded Xiao Huang not to force you to draw blood at that time, she didn't listen, alas, you children, I don't want to think about it, Wang Lu's sleep this time is not caused by blood loss, the body is to replenish more blood, you won't wake up when you shouldn't wake up, when you should wake up, wake up when you wake up." Outside the door, a voice came, not Wen Lao or who, but saw him accompanied by Dong Dong, and entered the room one after the other.

Wang Lu hurriedly turned over and sat up from the bed: "That Wen Lao, why are you here?" Look at it, a little thing, how can it alarm you. ”

Wen Lao shook his head: "Is it really a trivial matter?" Xiao Wang, do you want to be duplicitous in the face of me? Hehe, the wise corpse actually sleeps, and it sleeps for a month, are you really indifferent to this? I think you have a lot of things in mind, right? ”

Wang Lu coughed: "That, Wen Lao, what happened to me?" By the way, what about Xu Jie? How is he? ”

At this time, Mu Yuan stammered and moved a chair behind Wen Lao, Wen Lao nodded at him, sat down, and asked Wang Lu, who was looking at him, "You really can't remember the past at all?" ”

Wang Lu nodded, and soon shook his head again: "I remember that Xu Jie commanded armed zombies to point a gun at my head and wanted to kill me, and then, and then I didn't know anything, and when I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying on this bed." ”

Wen Lao nodded slightly: "What you said is the same as what I learned, I have already checked the memories in your mind, and the memories of that period of time are indeed blank." ”

Wang Lu was stunned: "So, Wen Lao, you already know what Xu Jie did to me?" What was going on, he knew for sure. ”

Before Wen Lao could speak, Dong Dong hurriedly said, "Uncle Xu hasn't woken up yet." ”

Wang Lu looked at Huang Yinfeng, Huang Yinfeng nodded lightly to confirm that what Dong Dong said was true, Wang Lu patted his head: "Hell, what happened in the building at that time?" Why did Xu Jie also - also fall asleep? ”

Wen Lao said slowly: "Xiao Wang, don't worry, about what happened between you and Xu Jie in the building at that time, there was a third party present......

Wang Lu blurted out: "I know, it's those armed zombies!" They were also at the scene, and since they didn't kill me, they must have seen the scene in their eyes! Look at the memories of armed zombies to see what happened! Wen Lao, what happened at that time? ”

Wen Lao said: "Actually, it's nothing, in the memory of the armed zombies, they received Xu Jie's order to shoot you, although in principle, zombies will not attack a smart corpse, but Xu Jie's brain waves are too powerful, so that they suppress the zombies' instincts and let them point their guns at you." However, after this, the armed zombies were not given further instructions to shoot. You and Xu Jie both stood there dumbfounded, motionless, and then suddenly. The memories of the armed zombies are just blank. The reason why you are lying on this bed is that when Dong Dong came to persuade you to evacuate quickly, he saw you and Xu Jie falling to the ground, so he ordered the armed zombies to flee the building with you on their backs. It was really dangerous. There is only a little more than 100 meters away, and the radiation car of the fortress will drive downstairs, once you and Xu Jie are exposed to nuclear radiation. Maybe you won't even have a chance to wake up. ”

Wang Lu felt that her mind was a mess, and what Wen Lao just said was like a crappy detective film written by a third-rate screenwriter, trying to create a mysterious atmosphere, but there were loopholes everywhere. I clearly remember that at that time, because Xu Jie moved his hands and feet on the brainwave amplifier, he fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, and life and death were only on the line. Why did Xu Jie suddenly stop attacking? It shouldn't be this kid's conscience that he wants to be a good person, right? Also, Why is there a blank memory of armed zombies? I've never heard of anything like this before. In essence, zombies are like a mobile camera, archiving memories in the brain anytime and anywhere, can the memories of zombies be deleted and emptied like computer hard drives?

Wang Lu suddenly stood up: "Where are those armed zombies?" I want to see them. Check their memories for yourself. ”

Wen Lao shook his head: "It's too late, they're already dead." ”

"What?!" Wang Lu glared at Wen Lao, almost wanting to shout the word "kill people and kill people".

Wen Lao said: "This is the unanimous decision of everyone in the Forbidden City, zombies must unconditionally obey the smart corpse, and at the same time, the zombies can never hurt the smart corpse, under the command of Xu Jie, these armed zombies actually pointed their guns at you, this is absolutely intolerable, today's armed zombies can only kill you Wang Lu, and tomorrow you can kill other smart corpses." Therefore, after looking through the memories of the scene of the incident in the minds of the armed zombies, almost all the intelligent zombies agreed to execute these armed zombies immediately. Zombies hurting smart corpses, this scene is not allowed to exist in the past, present, and future, even if they only pointed their guns at you at the time, and did not actually shoot, the result is the same. ”

Wang Lu was stunned for a long time before saying: "However, it was Xu Jie who wanted to kill me, not armed zombies, they - they are just tools, and the tools themselves are thoughtless, just like a murderer killed someone with a knife, but the judge sentenced the knife guilty." Now Xu Jie has nothing to do, but the armed zombies are dead, ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

Huang Yinfeng said beside him: "Wang Lu, this decision is the joint decision of all the envoys of our capital, well, not all, Wen Lao is against it, but he can't convince everyone, but even I voted in favor at that time." Think about how terrible it would be if the zombies planted thoughts in their minds that could resist us, or even hurt us. ”

It is very terrifying, the number of zombies is many times more than that of intelligent corpses, Wang Lu can understand the fear of Huang Yinfeng and other intelligent corpses about the future, just as slave owners fear slaves, and feudal landlords fear landless peasants, because once the once weak person awakens, the power of the explosion will overturn the entire old world.

It's just that Huang Yinfeng didn't know that Wang Lu had inadvertently planted a small seed of freedom in the mind of an ordinary zombie.

Fortunately, at this time, Huang Yinfeng had already changed the topic: "In fact, not only those armed zombies, but also the living guards have also been banned, because when everyone found out that Xu Jie could actually order the living guards to kill a companion who was also an emissary, they immediately realized that the danger of the living guards was far beyond the value of their protection of the emissaries." Of course, the living are too precious, especially after the failure of the attack on the fortress, and we will not be able to get a large number of living people for a long time, so they are disarmed and become ordinary blood donors again. ”

Wang Lu smiled bitterly, it seems that during the month of his sleep, a lot of things have really happened in the capital, Huang Yinfeng is still nagging: "By the way, there are also defects in the brainwave amplifier that have also been discovered from the guys, after voting, everyone unanimously decided that the manufacture of the brainwave amplifier will be standardized, and every part of the amplifier sent to each messenger is the same, and it is not allowed to modify the brainwave amplifier privately......"

Huang Yinfeng's words floated past Wang Lu's ears, in fact, he didn't go to his heart at all, he stared at Wen Lao, knowing that Wen Lao rushed to come as soon as he woke up, but it wasn't to tell him some nonsense like killing a few innocent scapegoat zombies, Wang Lu had an intuition - Wen Lao knew that his mysterious disappeared memory, and the real reason for this inexplicable sleep.

Wen Lao looked at Wang Lu's eyes, nodded imperceptibly, he turned his head to Huang Yinfeng and said, "Huang Yinfeng." You and Mu Yuan have worked hard enough to take care of Wang Lu during this time, and now that Wang Lu has woken up, you don't need to worry about him anymore. There is a room next to it, you and Mu Yuan should go and take a rest. ”

Huang Yinfeng snorted: "Who cares about this hillbilly, I just stayed in the courtyard alone and was too bored, so I came to see him to pass the time." He ignored Mu Yuan as he spoke. He turned around and went out the door.

Mu Yuan looked at Wang Lu and then at Wen Lao, and suddenly understood what came over, and slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, yes." It's time for me to rest, I'm not your wisdom - the messenger, I can't hold on without sleeping. Dong Dong took Mu Yuan out of the door, and said as he walked: "I brought you some food, although it is some convenience food, but it is better than nothing, and now organic pollution-free food is too scarce." They all give priority to the supply of messengers. Mu Yuan said: "But thank you, you have always sent me food during this time, if I hadn't drawn too much blood for Wang Lu, I would have to donate some blood to thank you." Dong Dong gave him a blank look: "Come on, I don't drink blood now." You've sold your favor for nothing. ”

Wang Lu listened to the departure of several people outside the door, and stared at Wen Lao without blinking: "Okay, tell me, what's going on here?" ”

Wen Lao slowly sat down on the chair opposite: "So, what do you want to know?" He didn't seem to want to say that he knew something that Wang Lu didn't know but was eager to know.

Wang Lu blurted out: "Of course it's ......" He was suddenly stunned, what happened between himself and Xu Jie was too weird, and he had many questions he wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that the answers to each question didn't seem to reveal his real doubts.

He was suddenly silent, and finally, he opened his mouth again: "Xu Jie said that he is unwilling to become a slave again, what does this sentence mean?" ”

Wen Lao nodded approvingly, Wang Lu was indeed very smart, he was able to keenly grasp the most critical sentence in the chaotic life-and-death struggle at that time.

Wen Lao stood up and motioned for Wang Lu to follow him. Wang Lu did not hesitate and strode out with Wen Lao.

Outside the door, there was a corridor, the lights were on, and looking at the sign on the wall, Wang Lu frowned - this seemed to be a hospital.

Wen Lao walked a few steps, then stopped, opened a door, and beckoned to Wang Lu, Wang Lu strode forward, and looked inside the door - inside, on a bed, lying motionless, it was not Xu Jie, who was it.

Xu Jie, sleeping.

Wang Lu subconsciously poked out his brain waves, and Xu Jie's mind did not reflect at all, but he was not dead, because Wang Lu could check his memory, but Xu Jie's memory also became blank the moment he commanded the armed zombies to shoot.

Is this the sleep of the Wise Corpse? Did you sleep for a whole month like Xu Jie just now? But why did he wake up, but Xu Jie was still asleep?

Wang Lu's mind was full of mixed thoughts, he looked at Wen Lao, this old man has not said a word so far, and all his questions are still confused.

At this moment, Wen Lao turned around and went out again, and continued to walk along the corridor, Wang Lu was stunned and hurriedly strode to follow.

Wen Lao walked all the way, opening the door by the corridor all the way, and then, Wang Lu saw that in every room, there was a bed, and on each bed lay a sleeping corpse.

That's right, many, so many intelligent corpses, all in their sleep.

Wang Lu didn't know any of these smart corpses, but just looked at the sheets covering their sleeping bodies and the dust falling on them, he knew that they had been sleeping for more than a month or two.

What the fuck is going on!?

Wen Lao, who took the lead, did not stop, he took Wang Lu into the elevator and pressed the button leading to the parking garage on the first basement floor. The elevator sank and slowly descended.

Wang Lu simply let himself be dumb, Wen Lao, this old man definitely didn't want to change the trick to show himself, what he did must have a deep meaning, but he couldn't see through it for a while. Damn, since you don't open your mouth, Lao Tzu won't ask.

Ding, the elevator stopped.

The door slowly opened.

It was pitch black outside the door, but Wang Lu was standing at the open elevator door, her whole body stiff and motionless.

His eyes, which could see in the dark, could see at a glance that outside the elevator, in the underground parking lot, there were zombies lying on the ground, full of them.

These zombies, all there, are sleeping.

Ten minutes later, Wang Lu and Wen Lao returned to their hospital room.

This time, Wen Lao finally took the initiative to speak: "Eternal sleep, this is the name we give to the abnormal state of the elect and the messenger. The mechanism by which eternal sleep occurs, and whether it can be revived and how it can be woken up, is still a mystery. You are the only messenger we have ever seen awakened from eternal slumber. ”

Wang Lu blurted out: "This has nothing to do with me. He paused: "Even if Xu Jie's slumber has something to do with me, but the other envoys and voters can't rely on me, I haven't seen them at all, and they fell into an eternal slumber long before I came to the capital." (To be continued.) )
