The sky was dark, and as far as the eye could see, there were ruined walls, and the overgrown roads were littered with cars of all kinds.

A strong wind blew like a knife, carrying grains of sand, hitting the glass in front of Zhou Jinru, crackling.

He took a deep breath, and he was back in this strange post-apocalyptic world, this time brought in by someone else.

"Welcome to this world, this is my world."

Lin Xiaoxi's voice came from behind Zhou Jinru, he was no longer the top rich man in Saint Martin, wearing an old light blue overalls, and a black oil stain on his trouser leg.

"This is your world?"

Zhou Jinru chewed on Lin Xiaoxi's description, and he found that he did not have the trance-like feeling he had before, his hands and feet were coordinated, and he was not sluggish.

Lin Xiaoxi nodded, reached out and grabbed the doorknob covered with red iron filings, and easily disassembled the door and threw it aside: "Please come with me, I will show you the world." ”

If it comes, it will be safe.

Zhou Jinru was as good as a stream, following Lin Xiaoxi, and they climbed onto the roof one after another.

With the thick sand under his feet, Zhou Jinru looked into the distance, and the huge chimney he had seen before could be faintly visible, and it was obvious that the place where he entered several times was not too far from the settlement.

"Mr. Lin, you called me a lighthouse before, why?"

Zhou Jinru looked at Lin Xiaoxi standing on the edge of the rooftop, his figure was stretched very long by the westward afterglow, and his expression and posture were desolate.

"I've heard your name a long time ago, Doctor of Rhode Island, invincible, top expert in the field of source stone disease research, in my world you are called a beacon, lighting the way, dispelling darkness, and there is no one who does not worship you."

Zhou Jinru thought about it, probably just like the lyrics, you are in the middle of the crowd, shining brightly.

As a traverser, he has a strong adaptability to these things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand: "So, what are we going to talk about, your world, here?" ”

"At Saint-Martin, a lot of people are curious about how I got to where I am today, they study my background, they study my lineage, they study my family, they study my personal experience, and I feel like they are all doing useless work, because I am a person who goes back from the future to the past."

When Lin Xiaoxi said these words, his expression was indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"I was originally just a machine tool worker, a very ordinary kind of person, I tried my best to only allow myself to live, and I couldn't be demanding of the superfluous, in that rotten Usas, I belonged to the category of people who were abandoned, and the nobles wanted to have a lot of people like me, like the million people who died in Chernobry."

Zhou Jinru nodded and agreed, what Lin Xiaoxi told was out of true feelings, and what he said was the truth.

"So the war finally broke out, food was scarce, medical conditions were suspended, everyone was in danger, just when people felt that they were in misery, the real disaster quietly came, at this time, it was too late, the monsters from the darkness dragged one after another into nothingness, no one knew where those who were missing would be, people could only put aside their preconceptions and survive together, but those who went into the darkness alone, they never appeared again."

"Hasn't such a supernatural event been studied by an organization?"

Lin Xiaoxi stared at Zhou Jinru: "Yes, your Rhode Island is studying, in fact, as long as there is a place for you, those sticky darkness will be dispelled, and no one knows what the reason is, which is why you are called a lighthouse." ”

Lin Xiaoxi's story is not long, after the disaster, he lived in a settlement, until one day, when he woke up, he found that he had returned to a long, long time ago, and the pain and despair in the dream were just a flash, and he could laugh and leave the dream behind.

His experience is just like the protagonists who have traveled back to the past that Zhou Jinru has seen, what dreams back to 19XX, who is reborn, the protagonist of his whole life has reached the peak of his life step by step by virtue of the major time nodes of his previous life, and has a happy life, and his experience is so strange that it is staggering.

Fortunately, in the end, Lin Xiaoxi didn't say that the reason why he lived so humbly in his previous life was entirely because he didn't have a chance, otherwise his image in Zhou Jinru's heart would have dropped a lot.

Lin Xiaoxi didn't know what Zhou Jinru was thinking, he finished his story, although some places were very vague, the key points were just a passing point, Zhou Jinru also figured out a little, Lin Xiaoxi wanted to use his own way to get through the coming end.

The worldview of the original book is the end of the world, no matter how much sugar there is, the same sweet text, after all, it is still impossible to avoid this is an apocalypse that is about to be destroyed.

Zhou Jinru knew this very well, so he was especially careful and worked hard to accumulate strength.

Lin Xiaoxi has done more thorough than him, he is now standing at the top of St. Martin, he has come a long way, his paranoia, madness, and coldness have become the nouveau riche and the devil in his mouth.

"Mr. Guang, now that you know my secret, I believe that people like you also know the seriousness of the matter, right? The world doesn't understand me, I don't care, I'm an Ursatian, but I control the mobile cities of Colombia, I chose the Prohibition Act when people needed alcoholic beverages to relax, I know that there are countless people who want my life right now, and I still make time to stand here and gossip. ”

"They don't know that St. Martin was destroyed at the beginning of the apocalypse, with more than a million people killed, and more than two million others fleeing the wilderness, and in the end only less than 200,000 survived!"

"They didn't know that the Prohibition Act had ensured a supply of food and had helped many mobile cities survive the hardest times until they established settlements!"

"They are selfish, self-righteous, and the high-ranking lords ignore the lives and deaths of civilians, causing more people to disappear into the darkness, until they wake up, only to find that there is nothing to be done, it is too late!"

Lin Xiaoxi stretched out his hand, walked towards Zhou Jinru, and said slowly: "I invite you to join my plan to share the research results, funds, and talents in my research center, Rhode Island will get all the resources you want, don't forget, I still have 5% of the shares of Rhine Life, and I also want to promote cooperation between the two of you." ”

Lin Xiaoxi is good at inducing, what he says is true, Zhou Jinru can't detect any signs of lies, maybe this Mr. Lin is right?

"You're only one point away from convincing me, I want to know one more thing, can you tell me, why do you want to arrest so many infected people?"

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, those infected were the first thugs to destroy the order, they used the powerful power brought by the source stone disease to wreak havoc, form their own government, and convert more normal people into infected people, even those infected who did not participate, they are not good people, I know that you have a lot of infected people in Rhode Island, you have to be careful of them."

Zhou Jinru's expression stiffened a little, and he said slowly: "If what you said is true, my Rhode Island must not abandon the infected in the apocalypse, we can find a balance, not for which side to destroy the other, as long as there is a source stone calamity in this world, it is impossible for the infected to disappear." ”

"After getting along for a long time, you have feelings for them, this is human nature, things can be done slowly, little by little to remove the infected from our lives, in order to prevent them from destroying our self-help plan, my research center has done in-depth research, the source stone natural disaster can affect the human body, but it cannot affect the steel machinery, you look at this world, even if there are more natural disasters, it is impossible to destroy these reinforced concrete, they are insulated from each other!"

Zhou Jinru seemed to be in an absurd dream: "Glorious evolution? ”

"It seems that Miss Vena has told you everything, I think, yes, against those darkness, those monsters, and the source stone scourge, only a glorious evolution can do it, just like the Eternal Born of the Troubled Era has an endless army of machines, he has protected the people of the earth, and the funny thing is that later people only remember the misery of being ruled by mechanical intelligence, but they don't know that civilization has survived to this day, all relying on the tyrant in the history books."

Zhou Jinru took a deep breath, today's situation was beyond expectations, and he had to say: "I'm very confused now, I have different opinions on the issue of infected people, maybe we can seek common ground while reserving differences." ”

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences? No, no, no, I think you should be on my side, there's no room between us and the infected for other options. ”

Zhou Jinru was stunned, why did Lin Xiaoxi become like this?

He is a normal person, he should have reserved some room for maneuver, why is it so black and white?

Lin Xiaoxi reached out, grabbed Zhou Jinru's clothes, and said seriously: "I'm not interested in discussing with you whether to keep those infected people, they shouldn't exist in this world, if you object, then you are my enemy, do you understand?" ”

There were no fluctuations in his mood, there was no change, Zhou Jinru's expression changed greatly, and he sensed that Lin Xiaoxi's emotional changes were all stable, and there would be no fluctuations.

"You! You're not human?! ”

He finally found out the problem, a normal person's emotions will always fluctuate, but Lin Xiaoxi does not exist, people will hesitate, compromise, and fight for what they want, especially in a high position, he should have emotions, but none of them.

"Human, I am still human, I am fighting for the future of mankind, you can't be a stumbling block to me, neither can you, if you refuse to join, I will break the lighthouse with my own hands!"

"Anyway, people like you will be assassinated by the infected at some point in the future! Isn't it ridiculous that the beacon of trust in the infected is eventually extinguished by the infected! ”
