Chapter 31: Between Life and Death

Smack...... Smack......

In the boundless darkness, Zuo Yang walked blindly alone, he didn't know where this was, but there was a voice calling for him in front of him.

A sense of mission sounded in his heart, and he must move forward, by any means.

Even if there was endless darkness in front of him, even if he didn't know what danger awaited him, he had to move forward.

He had to go back, he had to!

After advancing for I don't know how long, an invisible wall suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Yang.

That wall is infinitely high upwards, infinitely deep downwards, infinitely far to the left and to the right.

A word came to Zuo Yang's mind, the name of the wall, which was death.

"Death...... Am I already dead? ”

Zuo Yang muttered to himself, infinite loss welling up in his heart.

"I don't know if Miss Lin's magic weapon has solved the monster in Kagon, and whether the two of them have successfully escaped."

Zuo Yang was holding on to the invisible wall with both hands, still worried about the situation of Lin Qingyu and Su Qing in his heart.

Suddenly, extreme unwillingness occupied Zuo Yang's heart, and then the unwillingness turned to anger, and anger turned to calm.

Unwillingly, Zuo Yang did not accompany his companions to the end from beginning to end, whether he led the androids to resist a hundred years ago, or the journey with Lin Qingyu and Su Qing a hundred years later, he left early.

I am angry about my own incompetence, why I encounter this kind of thing every time, why I don't have the ability to break through all this crisis. If you had detected the hidden sniper in advance, if you had enough strength to deal with Kagon first, if you ......

However, it was too late to say this, the truth was in front of him, he could not change it, and the anger in his heart slowly turned into a strange calm.

Gradually, that strange calm turned into an indescribable loneliness, as if he had never been to the world, and there had never been a self-conscious android named Zuo Yang in this world.

Is this death......

Zuo Yang's eyes gradually became sluggish, and he accepted all this obediently, no longer had mood swings, and no longer had nostalgia for the world.

It's good to die...... Zuo Yang thought so.

"Don't give up!" An unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the wall, and Zuo Yang's eyes suddenly regained their light.

"Who are you?" Zuo Yang shouted.

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important not to give up! Advance! Keep moving! ”

"Forward? But there is no road ahead......" Zuo Yang said in disappointment.

"Onward! As long as you move forward, there will be a way! ”

"Just move forward...... There must be a way......" Zuo Yang seemed to understand something, raised his foot and took a step forward.

In an instant, Zuo Yang felt a huge resistance, frantically preventing Zuo Yang's feet from landing.

It turned out that his front was only extremely resistant, not impassable.

"Forward...... Go forward......" Zuo Yang said as he took that crucial step with all his strength.

Da!

With a crisp voice sounding, Zuo Yang successfully took the first step.

The second part stepped out, and the resistance in front of Zuo Yang instantly doubled, as if the whole world was preventing him from returning.

"Forward...... I have to move forward......"

Da!

Another crisp voice sounded, and Zuo Yang's second step finally stepped out.

Suddenly, Zuo Yang felt a powerful coercion, which overwhelmed him for a moment.

"Don't try to stop me, I haven't done anything yet!"

Click!

Zuo Yang swung his fist forward with all his strength, and a whisper accompanied by a subtle cracking sound sounded in Zuo Yang's ears.

"There's a world worse than death ahead, do you want to go back?"

"Heh, I've even experienced death, what else can I be afraid of!"

As he spoke, Zuo Yang took the third step with all his strength.

"The world ahead will make you worse than dead."

"Don't talk nonsense! What life is better than death! I haven't even seen it with my own eyes, why hold back! ”

Zuo Yang roared angrily, and stepped out the fourth step heavily.

"Then I'll let you see it with your own eyes......"

As soon as the whispering voice fell, countless emotions poured in from all directions.

Happiness, joy, pride, and a sense of accomplishment...... Countless positive emotions first occupied Zuo Yang's body.

Grief, loss, torment, sadness and parting...... Countless negative emotions shattered those positive emotions one by one.

Zuo Yang had never felt this, and the repeated pull of positive and negative emotions made him almost collapse.

"Even so...... I'm going back too......" Zuo Yang was angry, but he was still gritting his teeth and insisting.

"I didn't protect my people and comrades-in-arms in the past......" Familiar faces gradually appeared in front of his eyes, Zuo Gongming, Qianyang, Cuixi, Changyi, Xiaoqiong, Kara, Marcus......

"But since I've woken up...... Zuo Yang's figure gradually became blurred, "I can't repeat the mistakes of the past, this time ......" The faces of Zhang Yi, Lin Qingyu and Su Qing appeared, and in Zuo Yang's eyes, a few tears swirled around his sockets.

"I must protect my friends!"

Zuo Yang roared angrily and lifted his foot.

His movements were extremely slow, but determined.

Rumble!

As the fifth step fell, a large number of cracks appeared in the wall, and the entire wall collapsed.

The coercion on Zuo Yang's body gradually disappeared, and he instantly regained his ability to move, and at this time, the whisper sounded again.

"In that case, let's go back, this is the last time."

Zuo Yang seemed to have regained his life and rushed forward frantically.

Gradually, Zuo Yang understood the light in front of him, which was his original world!

Zuo Yang's speed is getting faster and faster, and the light is getting bigger and bigger, and he knows that he is going to succeed!

Finally, Zuo Yang jumped into the dazzling light.

World, I'm back! Zuo Yang shouted in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to come back to life." The light in Zuo Yang's eyes disappeared, and a woman in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared.

"Who are you? What about Miss Lin and Miss Su? Zuo Yang shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, they're safe in my cave." The woman in Tsing Yi spoke, "Welcome back to this world, android hero, Zuo Yang." I'm a member of Eden.,Logistics department squad leader.,Xiaoqiong.。 ”

"Xiaoqiong?" Zuo Yang suddenly remembered that it was a hundred years ago when he was still in "Eden", and he and the person in front of him often quarreled over their attitude towards humans. Moreover, she is also the android that Qiong Ying Dao asked to find.

"I didn't expect the hero of the androids to remember me as an oppositionist." The woman in Tsing Yi smiled.

"I have a lot of information about you in my database, and Qiong Ying's predecessor also told me about you." Zuo Yang explained.

"Qiong Ying......" Xiaoqiong showed a nostalgic expression, "That stupid deer, is it still looking for me......"

"I heard Qiong Ying's predecessor say that you took the initiative to lead away the two Heavenly Tribulations when you broke through back then, and the result was ......," Zuo Yang hesitated.

"Dead and dead?" Xiaoqiong said with a smile.

"Hmm......" Zuo Yang nodded.

"That stupid deer, if you don't see me, you're thinking nonsense......" Xiaoqiong sighed, shook her head lightly and said, "I was indeed attacked by two Heavenly Tribulations back then, but I didn't hurt the core, and like you, I also walked away from the Ghost Gate." ”

"Hell? The wall? Zuo Yang asked.

"I can say that, but I didn't encounter a wall." Xiaoqiong seemed to think about something, "That's it, everyone encounters this thing differently." Our android mind is firmer than that of ordinary humans, and the structure is more stable, so it is easier to break the ghost gate. ”

"I see...... Zuo Yang mused.

"But the androids who can survive the ghost gate are also one in a million, and your state of mind is indeed beyond ordinary people." Xiaoqiong explained.

"I'm curious, why did you save me?" Zuo Yang suddenly asked, "I remember that you were the group of people who hated humans very much, and you always had objections to my decision to unite with humans, and I brought two humans with me when I came here, according to your character, you should be laissez-faire." ”

"Of course, it's because you're our android hero!" Xiaoqiong smiled exaggeratedly.

"Don't make fun of me, what a hero, it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the initiator of the war between androids and humans, and sinners are pretty much the same."

"There are no sinners, but you are indeed our hero." Xiaoqiong said, "But I really didn't save you because of this. I have long let go of the hatred I had back then, and the cultivation of the past hundred years has made me realize that this world is not simply good and evil can be defined, and that every person and every creature has its own meaning of existence and the logic of action. The main reason I came to your rescue is that there are some things that you have to do. ”

"I'll do it?" Zuo Yang wondered.

"Gongliangyun, do you remember?" Xiaoqiong spoke.
