Chapter 16: Wreckage
The bottom of the sea was pitch black, he couldn't see his fingers, and the unique silence of the seabed made Shen Xin feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness in his heart, he stood there blankly, feeling confused in the center, the explosion of Zheng He was equivalent to the collapse of the world for him. When he dies, he becomes a dark spirit, and he can still see his uncle and friends, but now, it can be said that anyone or anything in the world associated with him no longer exists. He was not a sentimental person, but at some point he could no longer face it calmly, and he really wanted to cry out loud, vent the pain that had accumulated in his chest for a long time, and then let the sea take away these painful tears.
"What are you thinking?" Ning spoke out at this time, although he couldn't change Shen Xin's pain, but he took away some of his loneliness.
Shen Xin collected his attention, and reluctantly pretended not to care and said: "What else can I think, I can't see anything under the black pressure, of course I am looking for a way." ”
"It seems that you half-baked dark spirit really have a lot to learn, let me remind you, in the compartment between the "Creator's Box" and Zheng He, the light was not very good, but why do you know each other's location very well?"
Shen Xin followed the train of thought of condensing, remembering that when he was fighting with the dark spirit, he was indeed not affected by the darkness, and he could clearly see every movement of the other party............
As Shen Xin concentrated on the surroundings, everything in front of him gradually brightened, and when he became more focused, the darkness in the distance also became brighter, and every grass and tree in the sea became so clear.
"That's right, as a dark spirit, how can you let the darkness cover your eyes, remember to be able to see the way, if you see too far, it will consume a lot of dark energy. Ning reminded again.
"Wait...... That's?" Shen Xin suddenly asked as he looked into the distance.
"What else could it be, the wreckage of the Zheng He. As soon as Ning's words fell, Shen Xin's eyes instantly darkened, and the bottom of the sea suddenly turned back to its original pitch black.
Ning said again: "I just said, don't use dark energy too much, look so far away, I really think I am a telescope." ”
The originally bright seabed suddenly became extremely dark again, which made Shen Xin even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do now?"
"What else can you do? Either you'll walk in the dark, or you'll wait for the android to help you condense enough dark energy......"
Shen Xin said "yes", simply sat on the ground, and recharged quietly......
At the bottom of the pitch black, Shen Xin didn't know how long he had been sitting on this mud and sand, but he felt that it should be about the same, he stood up, he hadn't forgotten the habits of human beings, he reached out and patted the mud and sand on the bionic body's buttocks, and didn't say much, just surging dark energy to look at the wreckage of Zheng He in the distance again, and then walked towards that side.
"What are you going to do?" Ning asked when he saw Shen Xin take action.
"I'm going over there to have a look, maybe there are survivors?" Shen Xin said categorically.
"The chances are zero...... You must know that even if there may have been a survivor at the time of the explosion, but now that 6 years have passed, ordinary humans are not like you, a dark spirit, it is impossible to survive in an unprotected environment for so long. ”
"I don't care, I just want to go and see ......" Shen Xin completely ignored Ning's dissuasion.
"Well, if that makes you feel better, go ahead. Ning was helpless.
Shen Xin walked in the sea at the speed of human walking, he couldn't swim from time to time he would also gouge twice, and I don't know how long it took, he was close to the edge of a large piece of wreckage scattered on the bottom of the sea, he paused slightly, and after observing the overall situation of the wreckage up and down, left and right, he began to persistently turn over each piece of metal wreckage of different sizes scattered everywhere, the smaller one was directly picked up and thrown aside, and the larger one he lifted it hard to see what it was, and the smashed alloy iron plate was not found, so the dog slashed and swam into the larger piece of wreckage that was not completely blown up, to see what was found......
Just when Shen Xin was still persistently searching, there was a "grunt", and it was actually the stomach of the bionic body. Shen Xin, who had become a dark spirit after death, hadn't felt like this for a long time, it was the feeling of being hungry, and he hurriedly wondered, "What's the situation? Is it hungry?"
Ning said loudly at this time, "Yes, this is my strength, the bionic body is not as simple as an ordinary material carrier, he has his own independent survival mechanism, if the brain is activated, it is more "human" than "human", or I bothered so much to make him out of the matter, do I want you to bring a rotting corpse to deal with the human beings on the surface?"
Shen Xin's search was unsuccessful for a while, and he was not in the mood to condense his mouth, but asked sullenly: "Then what now?"
"Of course it's eating, whether you've been a human being or not, you still have to ask ......"
Of course, Shen Xin didn't mean this, put on an empty hand, and said, "You still need to say this, the problem is that I haven't eaten." ”
Ning said in a tired tone of teaching this dark spirit elementary school student: "Alas...... In the body of the Creator, all things are edible. ”
Shen Xin really didn't have a good mood to pay attention to the strange yin and yang qi of condensation, bent down and grabbed a handful of mud and sand and threw it into the mouth of the bionic body, without chewing, swallowed it raw into his stomach, and after finding that he didn't feel anything special, he continued to search for the wreckage......
For a long time, Shen Xin was hungry and ate mud and sand, and when it was dark in front of him, he would sit somewhere to condense his energy, and after everything was ready, he would go to look through the wreckage. Suddenly, I felt that the dark spirit was more tired than being a human being, and I had to eat and rest, but the tiredness of these actions made Shen Xinxin feel a little fulfilling.
If he and the bionic body become one, he will no longer be an ethereal dark spirit, let alone a rotting corpse, thinking of this, Shen Xin can't help but have a lot of intimacy with this bionic body.
When Shen Xin opened one of the alloy iron plates again, he already knew in his heart that this large piece of wreckage had been turned over by him, and before that, except for finding a few human bones that were pressed under the weight, nothing else was found, and the feeling of loss suddenly appeared on the face of the bionic body.
Shen Xin sat on the ground in a daze, speechless for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "I said, no one will be alive, even if you find it, it will be a pile of white bones at most......"
"Do you say that people have souls?" Shen Xin said, looking at a human bone that was half-pressed by an iron plate.
"Of course not, this is the law of the Creator, the death of all living beings in the material world means the end, and after death, you can only leave these white bones in front of you, and even these white bones will eventually be returned to the world......"
"White Bones...... White Bone ......" Shen Xin's mouth kept chattering, suddenly raised his head, and said loudly, "Yes, White Bone!", the bionic body changed with Shen Xin's mood, and his eyes were also wide open at this time......
Ning was a little confused, and teased: "What's wrong with you? Spirits? No, in my database, there are no cases of dark spirits suffering from mental illness......
Shen Xin's mood seemed to improve greatly, he stood up, raised his hands high, and shouted again, "What a white bone, Sister Ning, what a white bone, if you stand in front of me now, I will definitely hold you and kiss you." ”
Ning didn't understand Shen Xin's unexplained delirium, and then said loudly: "What is this for? Do you really want me to record in the database that dark spirits can also get mental illness?"
Shen Xin didn't care about Ning's sarcasm at all, and couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Sister Ning, I'm not a god, but I was reminded by what you just said, you said that people will leave white bones after death, right? This reminds me of what Xiao Long said at the end, they escaped in a dinghy, but I rummaged around here, and I didn't find the wreckage of the dinghy at all, not even the claws on a dinghy." What does this mean? It means that they must have escaped in time, and they must still be alive. ”
Ning knew why Shen Xin was excited, but he still couldn't help reminding: "At most, it is possible, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, I don't want you to be really good in the end." ”
Shen Xin was completely unstruck, clenched his fists, and said as if cheering himself up: "No, even if it is a tenth of the possibility, I will try, I will find them......"
Ning poured cold water and said: "If it is really like what you said, they escaped from the Zheng He in time, then they will definitely not be here, ordinary humans can only go to one place if they want to survive, that is, the surface, and at most there is a 1 in 10 million possibility." ”
At this time, Shen Xin hesitated, shouting like a slogan, "Go, go to the surface!"
