Chapter 45: The Primordial Body
Cities have fallen, and people have fled the cities and taken refuge in the deserted wilderness, or at least they think they have left the city away from the crowds. But is that really the case?
No, no one can escape, this is the genocide that the saffron has planned for a long time, every person, every animal, every bug, can't escape the killing of the saffron, and all people get is endless death.
The last news I got was that there were still six cities barely holding on, and everyone locked themselves in their houses, completely breaking the door locks and sealing the windows to prevent them from entering the room in confusion.
According to them, every day countless crazy monsters attack the city from the outside, these monsters are overgrown with weeds and mushrooms, howling to take over the city and kill them all, but they rely on automatic weapons to kill all the crazy people. But were they really the attackers, or were the desperate fugitives turned into monsters in their eyes?
No one knows the answer, and no one will seek it, it doesn't make any sense.
At first, he was still shirking responsibility, but the more he wrote about it, the calmer he became. Moria's chin was propped up and she looked at Shure's focused face, "Is this a thought?"
"I guess I learned how to live with despair. ”
"Hopeless?" said Saph in a low voice, "but the fact that he can sit here and write letters shows that the situation is not so bad." ”
"Well, because it's special here. ”
Fortunately, this is a special place, and the tragedy of the outside world has not yet befallen here.
From the very beginning of the disaster, we have cut off the outside world, and we have continued to install defense systems, although limited by limited resources, and the ability to defend plants is miserable, but at least we can ask for peace of mind, even if a few brave soldiers die because of it.
We set up our positions, polished our weapons, and were ready to fight to the death against monsters or their kind that might rush in from outside.
Fortunately, we don't need to worry about being parasitized, no, we are already parasitized, but we don't need to worry about being controlled by illusions for the time being, because it is protecting us, even if all the saffron wants to exterminate the human race, but at least it, at least the primordial, is always protecting us.
"Protoplasm?" Moria pointed in the direction of the secret door.
"Perhaps, the first one to be cultivated. ”
"What about the back? It's on the human side?"
"I'm watching. ”
It is the root of everything, and it is also the basis for us to live until now. It is the only one who is on the side of humanity, and it loves humanity.
Since the day it was born, I have personally watered it every day to remove insects, personally cared for it, and let it grow little by little, and I have always believed that even if all the saffron flowers betrayed humanity and wanted to destroy it, it would not do it.
It lived up to my trust and it really protected us.
In order not to be affected by its kind, it does not have access to the network of red flowers, so it is seriously incapable of confronting its counterparts in the outside world and unable to save humanity from its doom. But, at least here, it protects us from hallucinations.
It's been fighting the enemies out there to stop them from invading my research station, so we're alive until now.
It's a pity that its strength is not enough to unite with the entire race of saffron for a long time, the position is losing little by little, and gradually some people are beginning to be plagued by hallucinations, and there are more and more people, and now the enemy everyone is facing is no longer a parasitic plant, but those crazy kindred, and a few of us normal people can only rely on it to survive.
It seems that the city will not last long, and we will eventually follow the same path as other humans.
It tells me that there is a way to cleanse the city and cleanse the mad humans once and for all, but to use the corpses of the people who have just died.
I didn't agree, it's no longer necessary, let it all end like this.
Tonight, I'm going to gather all the survivors on the industrial level and launch what may be the last revolt of humanity.
If anyone does read this letter, you must have found a solution to the problem and defended the dignity of humanity. If this is the case, please be kind to it, to the primordial body behind the door, but also be careful not to repeat our tragedy.
"What about the future?" asked Moria, impatiently, "There are still many questions that remain unanswered." ”
"He's just writing here, what can I do. Shul said helplessly, "I'm desperate too." ”
"So what are we going to do? Saf said uneasily, "Although we know these secrets, Macajeren is not here, we must find him." ”
"Did you notice a phrase? The Hama stationmaster said, 'It tells me that there is a way to purify the city,' which means that the primordial inside can communicate. ”
"No, you want to ask it directly?" said Moria, her eyes widened in surprise, "You're not afraid that it will lie to you?" and you don't know how to communicate with it. ”
"Whether you lie to me or not, you have to listen to it to judge. Xiuer smiled strangely, "As for the method of communication, I really don't know, but you know, beautiful Miss Lin Jing." ”
"Do you mean...... You, you guy don't want to ......" Moria's sudden expression of realization, squinting her eyes, said, "Okay, I see, no wonder you promised to owe me a favor last night." ”
"Hehe, is that okay?" Shure asked with a smile, "It doesn't matter to you anyway, isn't it Sasa?" ”
"Don't bully the fawn, bully me. ”
"Hey, you're bullied and addicted, aren't you? Shul patted her on the head.
"Hee-hee, I'm not addicted. Saph, who covered his head, smirked and said, "But Xiaolu, does it really matter?"
"No, it's no, it's just very draining and tiring. Moriah said whimsically, "Forget it, whatever you want, I'll take a break." ”
"Then please. Shul snapped the door open, and the secret door opened, revealing the primordial body of the saffron flower to the sight of the three of them again.
"When we finally meet, what should I call you, just call you the original body. Shur pulled Saf to sit on the sofa in the dark room, and said bluntly, "I think you have been watching our every move since we entered the city, and now that we have met, you might as well communicate directly." ”
Instead of sitting down, Moria transformed into a humanoid form, sitting cross-legged on the ground, her eyes closed and her hands pressed on either side of the pot.
"Get out, get out of Father's house. Moria suddenly opened her eyes and said mischievously, "I'll just repeat it directly, including what it scolded you, hehe, you can't blame me." ”
"Hey, you can at least filter it. Shul rolled his eyes, helpless to take this overly active fellow, "However, it seems that the intelligence is really high, and in two days, he has almost mastered the language of Pavatiga, and he can listen and speak, which is really not to be underestimated." ”
"This is my father's home, and even if my father is no longer there, I will not allow anyone to step into it. ”
"Okay, you should know that we have no malice, and if we had, we would have pulled you out and burned you a long time ago. ”
Moria was silent, or rather, the plant that Moria was communicating with.
"Actually, you shouldn't have any malicious intent, otherwise, we wouldn't be so stable now, at least we would see countless illusions. Shure sighed, his voice softened, "I guessed right, Primordial, what the hell are you trying to do?"
"I want you to get out of here with that kind of guy as quickly as possible. ”
"Kind, you mean the shortest guy?" Deliberately ignoring the not-so-harmonious verb, Shul asked, "Didn't you control him and bring us here?"
"Of course not, I just hope you get out of the way quickly, why do you want to come back when you are ready to leave?"
"Well, that's weird. Shul looked surprised, "Who is interfering with his senses, and why did he lure us here to find you?"
"It's the kids out there. After a moment of silence, the primordial finally stopped cursing, at least Moriah stopped cursing for it, "If they want to take this place, they must kill me first, so they control your kind and want to use him to destroy me." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Shul asked, squinting his eyes, "Although I read that message just now and understand a little bit, there are still many things that I can't understand, can you explain them?"
"Are you going to leave right away after that?"
"Of course, since you've been spying on us for two days, you should know that our biggest wish now is to go home and find a way to get rid of these troublesome parasites on our bodies, so you don't have to worry about us not leaving. ”
"Well, trust you for now, what do you want to know?"
"Just a few questions. Shure shrugged, "First, because of the frog people, oh, it should be said that humans, with their help, you have wisdom, why do you want to turn against humans and eventually exterminate humans?"
"Hate? No, children will never hate humans. ”
"Really, what was the catastrophe going on, and don't humans themselves want to live?" said Shure, looking upwards to show the world in front of him.
"It was just a game for the kids, a war game. ”
"Aren't humans doing this all the time? Many of the human seedlings have played with a bunch of minions attacking each other and playing a game of battle. At first, the children thought it was fun, so they learned to play. ”
"But it's not small soldiers, it's humans. ”
The hairs on the backs of Shul and Saf stood on end, the primordial body said it was a matter of course, but the more this happened, the more chills ran down the spine, it turned out that the tragedy of billions of people dying and all animals extinct was just the result of a game for the Saffron race.
