Four o'clock in the morning,

Heavy trucks were parked on the side of a deserted road, and in one night, they traveled at least five or six hundred kilometers.

In the back seat of the cab, Tom, who was supposed to be escorted to the military survivor camp, was sleeping deeply, but Qin Ge and Mu Xiaoye were still in good spirits.

"Tell me about some of your things, anything, just as small talk, such as have you ever liked a girl since you were a child?"

After checking the engine and tires of the heavy truck, Mu Xiaoye stood on the side of the road, blowing the cool morning breeze, and asked Qin Ge.

"Does this question have to be answered?"

"Well, I have to answer, because you, as a boy of only 17 years old, are in the prime of your blood, and you happened to meet a Virus Prince before you met me, and it will change into your favorite appearance according to your preferences, and I must make sure that you are not infected with the Pleasure Virus, although this is very unlikely. Mu Xiaoye said very seriously.

"Pleasant virus?" Qin Ge was surprised, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the face of the virus woman who suddenly appeared when he activated the last mutation factor last night.

"Yes, it is a pleasant virus, the danger level is four-star, the host of the virus is the hunter conqueror, this virus is not lethal, but it will have a very, very pleasant feeling for all contacts, more pleasant than the poison, sweeter than love, basically, regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as the concentration is not high enough, it will be easy to be infected with the pleasure virus in a short period of time. ”

"And this pleasure virus is not necessarily manifested in love, it will also appear in situations like sympathy, seeing each other late, talking very happily, and drinking a thousand glasses of confidants, however, most infected people will gradually recover from the infection after a period of time, so they do not have the conditions for large-scale invasion, but under special circumstances, this pleasure virus is very deadly for us virus hunters, such as the virus prince you met before. ”

When Mu Xiaoye said this, he deliberately glanced at Qin Ge.

"I'm sure I didn't have the pleasure virus, or even if I did, I got over it. Qin Ge had no choice but to reply.

"Well, to change the subject, what are you going to do with these books?"

"I don't know. Qin Ge shook his head, "Actually, I don't know much about the relationship between knowledge and civilization, and even before I met you, I didn't have the concept of civilization, but I just like to read, although I have read two books since I was a child, one is "Thirty Ancient Poems" distributed by the government to every poor person for free, and the other is "Virology". ”

"When I was a child, before my father was injured, I went to the second grade of primary school, and then I didn't go, because I had to take care of my father at home, and my mother went to work as a bounty hunter to support the family. ”

"At that time, because of my father's injury, I was very angry, you can't imagine me as a seven-year-old child with a simple spear made of steel head to stab a stray wild dog to death, from that time on, my mother did not allow me to use these weapons again, but let me read the book, read the book "Thirty Ancient Poems" In the dead of night, my father's snoring and my mother's low, muffled reading always calmed me down quickly, and from that time on, books were the most sacred and mysterious treasures for me. ”

"When I grew up, I also became a bounty hunter, and I could earn some silver coins myself, and after leaving my family, I always hoped to be able to buy another book, or find another book in the ruined city, which is why I developed a habit of looting, I always hoped that one day a miracle would come, and a book would fall from the sky, and I would be willing to pay for it at a price I could afford. ”

"However, this wish of mine has never been realized, there are no books on the market, except for the "Thirty Ancient Poems" distributed by the government for free, there are no more, I asked many people, they all said, books, I know, I still have several books at home when I was a child, but later, I don't know what happened, the words in it, and the pictures, all disappeared, lost, only blank paper remained, many, many books became like this. ”

"And a lot of people are saying, 'Well, I remember the name of a book that was interesting. But if I asked what it was, they would rub their heads and say in confusion, "I remember, but I just can't tell." ”

"Later, I learned that the government has books in its hands, but those books are not written on paper, they have a special power to protect the content of the books, ordinary people can't see them at all, and they can't see them, just like my "Virology", even if I spent a full 50 silver coins to buy it, but I feel that I have earned it, really, the knowledge in that book has saved me many times. ”

"So, when I am now an anti-virus hunter, when I have the opportunity to see the whole library, the books in the library are all able to see the contents, although they are written in bird language, but I am still willing, still willing to move them out at all costs, because I know that they are the ones who can make my soul at peace, they are the ones who can make me no longer lonely, they are the ones who can let me control my strength, protect myself, protect my loved ones, or them. ”

"If this is civilization, if this is what civilization is about, then I am willing, I am willing to protect it with my life, everything I have!"

Qin Ge said very normally, Mu Xiaoye listened very quietly, the wind was very gentle, and a round of morning sun pierced the clouds and mist in the east, and the sky finally dawned.

"It's not enough to have a book, it's like you hold a book, but the content inside is lost, once, the fierce battle between the anti-virus hunter and the virus was a sword and sword, bloody fight, and now, just have a strong force and a sharp sword is not enough, we have to have a basic disk, one, a fortress that can protect the content of the book, your real world is already very dangerous, and the only knowledge that the government has taken out to popularize the people is "Thirty Ancient Poems", which is really dangerous. ”

Mu Xiaoye said very seriously.

"Although, there are still many old people alive, although they have forgotten a lot, but there is still a lot of common sense of life, they know how to mine coal, extract oil, refine diesel, they also know how to forge steel, make engines, build houses, repair roads, they also have a lot of precious and wonderful knowledge in their minds, but they can no longer pass on, what they can pass on to the next generation is just to draw a scoop according to the gourd. ”

"They also have a sense of crisis, they are also trying to resist the invasion of the virus, they are really working hard, and it seems that they are also very successful, they can successfully enter the world of the gray layer, and snatch a lot of law crystals from the hands of the virus, these law crystals can allow them to cultivate more and more powerful warriors, but, there seems to be something wrong?"

"This is the biggest difference between us and your government in reality, we tell them that power is not absolute, once my father was strong enough to make the virus helpless, once the sword qi of the Dadao clan could cross the sky, but the virus is still a virus, we used to think that their purpose was to plunder the law, but it is always us who loses, because, our civilization is lost. ”
