Chapter 209: A Tool to Save Conscience
Lu Yan and Mu Tang waited for the giant worm to burrow back into the ground before leaving the Tomorrow Base.
The two sat on their muddy backs and looked up at the towering walls of Tomorrow's base.
Although it was full of devastation, it still fulfilled its due duty, as the last line of defense, and contained the greatest threat to humanity at the moment.
When they leave, it will be calm again, and it will become the dead city with no life.
Mu Tang thought of Qi Su, whose life and death were uncertain when he was attacked by the giant worm, and his mood was a little low.
She had mixed feelings about her companion, who was not hostile to her, but hated everyone around her.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yan sensed that her mood was wrong, and lowered her head and asked.
Mu Tang shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Lu Yan:
"That worm, it seems to be very timid?"
Lu Yan nodded:
"Yes, it seems that it will feel dangerous at the slightest damage, and immediately start dodging."
"Why?" Mu Tang was a little puzzled:
"We don't have anyone who can kill it now, and even the damage to it doesn't matter to it, why is it so afraid?"
If this worm had been bolder, none of them would have been able to escape.
Lu Yan's eyes fell on the thick city wall of the Tomorrow Base:
"It should be the incomplete cognition of the biological chain."
"What do you mean?" Mu Tang didn't understand.
Lu Yan rubbed her head and said with a smile:
"Animals will attack other different creatures in nature, so as to determine their position in the biological chain, what natural predators need to avoid, and what food can attack."
"It's a pity that it doesn't see any alien creatures in this base other than zombies and their kind. Zombies are something it has long known comprehensively, and of course it can be brutal and killing. ”
"Those zombies should have no ability to resist, as for us, because we are not familiar with it, as long as we cause a little damage to it, it will feel that we are a great threat, so it will start to dodge."
Mu Tang seems to understand:
"Doesn't it burrow into the ground, why don't you get out from underneath, and it should be easy for it to destroy the walls, right?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yan's face was also very solemn:
"The city wall of the Land of Tomorrow is also about thirty meters underground, and this meandering drill can be at least more than a hundred meters, and it is probably ...... if it doesn't go out I didn't even think about going out. ”
The giant worm is already the only king in this area, and the base of tomorrow is far away from the city and isolated in the wilderness.
Without external stimuli, it didn't even think about getting out of here.
For now, they are completely helpless against this bug.
There was no way to kill it, nor to fortify the walls to keep it inside.
The first is that there is no manpower, and the second is to rashly alarm it, so that it will no longer feel afraid after it has a knowledge of human beings, and when the time comes, it will let it walk out of the city wall.
There's still a lot of mess in the base that hasn't been solved, and there's been another thing like this outside, and countless troubles are pouring in.
Rao is Lu Yan, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Mu Tang patted Mud's head and signaled that it could start to go back.
Mud flicked his tail and ran towards the Tongcheng base.
……
On the other side, it took Qi Su nearly three hours to heal himself to the point where he could barely move, and then slowly got up from the ground.
Seeing that all his body was covered with rotten flesh like mud that had been smashed into mud by the giant worm, he wiped it expressionlessly, revealing the limbs and cold white skin that had regrown underneath.
There were also some fine bones mixed in these rancid meat purees, and Qi Su picked up a bone and played with it casually.
There was no indication that the bone was his own.
The torso that is no longer needed is discarded and a new one grows.
Qi Su has saved a box of his bones.
Looking at the bloodstained mud on the ground, a trace of coolness flashed in Qi Su's eyes, and he casually threw the bones in his hand into it, then turned around and walked back slowly.
Back at the station, he still violently pulled out his eyeballs and put them on the recognizer, and the door opened.
Unexpectedly, Bright Winter Night was already waiting behind the door.
Seeing that it was a mess outside, Hao Dongye couldn't help frowning, and when he turned his gaze to Qi Su, surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Nothing." Qi Su put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door with a sway:
"I was bitten by a critter with no conscience."
Huang Dongye couldn't understand what he was saying, and he didn't have time to dwell on this at this time, so he grabbed Qi Su, who still wanted to go inside, and asked with a frown:
"Where's the stuff?"
"I didn't get it."
Knowing that this was the result, Huang Dongye's face became more and more ugly, staring at Qi Su, and his eyes were about to burn Qi Su's face even through the heavy lenses.
Qi Su didn't think so, just stood there like this, looking back at him expressionlessly.
The winter night gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth:
"So, people, what?"
Qi Su showed a wicked smile and shook his head in the burning eyes of the winter night:
"Didn't kill, let her run."
"Qi Su !!"
Bright Winter Night finally couldn't help but roar, grabbed Qi Su's collar, and slammed him against the wall:
"What the hell do you want? Do you have to let Li Si kill you to be satisfied?!! ”
"He's already killed me!!"
Qi Su also roared out, pushed Huang Dongye away, and his mocking gaze fell on him:
"You're also an accomplice, have you forgotten?!"
The chill that Qi Su had been converging was all released at this moment, and the walls and floors were immediately covered with hoarfrost.
I haven't heard such words for a long time, the lethality is still amazing, and the body of the winter night stiffened, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
Qi Su felt dazzling when he saw him like this, and he couldn't wait to spit out all the vicious words out of his mouth.
But he didn't, he knew that those abusive words were not important to this person at all, but some words could make him feel ashamed.
Looking at the pale and silent winter night, the smile on Qi Su's face became even worse, as if he wanted to torture him, and continued:
"What? I've done everything and now I'm pretending to make a look like I'm thinking about me, what, do you want to make amends? ”
Huang Dongye's shoulders trembled, his face turned even paler, and the chill on Qi Su's body froze his lips into blue, but he didn't react.
Qi Su wanted to laugh when he looked at him, and his cold words turned into the sharpest knife, stabbing at the body of the winter night:
"Think about what you've done, you don't really think you're making amends, are you?"
"I'm ......" Winternight's lips squirmed twice:
"I'm sorry ......"
"Huh." Qi Su didn't appreciate it at all as if he had heard some joke:
"You're apologizing? Are you apologizing to me? ”
Xuan Dongye raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was a little at a loss, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Qi Su directly interrupted him:
"No, you're not trying to apologize to me, it's not me you're saving, it's your shaky, condemned heart! Because you and Li Si have more people who are worse than me, but they are not as lucky as me, and they can survive your experiments, so that they are fortunate to stand here and listen to you say that 'I'm sorry' that doesn't mean anything!! ”
"No, it's not." Winternight shook his head, and the words that came out were pale and weak:
"It's not like that......"
"What is that like?!" Qi Su directly interrupted him, approached the face of the winter night, suppressed him, and looked at him condescendingly:
"Don't use me as a tool to save your conscience, Dr. Clear."
Bright Winter Night looked at Qi Su's glowing red eyes, closed his eyes, and finally couldn't say anything.
At this moment, there were several crisp applause behind him, accompanied by Li Si's high-pitched voice:
"Wonderful, really wonderful, I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I would be able to hear such a wonderful speech from our classmate Qi."
This dry and rough sound like a blunt knife sawing wood reached Qi Su's ears but made him subconsciously freeze his body.
Winter's face also changed, and he said in a low voice:
"Let go of me."
Qi Su, who was still full of hatred just now, had a blank expression at this time, and after listening to the words of the winter night, he obediently let go of his hand and stood aside.
Huang Dongye tidied up his clothes, took a step forward, quietly stopped Qi Su behind him, looked at Li Si, who was already standing behind them without knowing when, and said in a low voice:
"Why did you get out, didn't you say you were waiting inside?"
