Chapter 17: I've Been Waiting for This Day
"The truth?"
Since he was seen through, Lu Nanke didn't pretend anymore.
He scrambled to his feet.
The injury is a real injury, and the pain is really painful.
But his resilience has surpassed that of a normal human.
Maybe it's the reason for Miss Lu's "monster stomach".
Not only has he awakened his superpowers, but his physical fitness is still slowly improving.
That's why he didn't agree with what Lu Jianmin said.
What kind of thing my mother left for herself, that thing was clearly forcibly given to her by Lu Wanqing!
However, he wanted to see what Lu Jianmin called "the reality of the world".
followed behind Lu Jianmin with his hands in his pockets, if he didn't look at the tattered clothes on his body, Lu Nanke would be chic and handsome.
All the way back to the vice president's office, Lu Jianmin pressed a button on the table.
Then Lu Nanke heard the sound of machinery turning, and then a downward staircase appeared on the ground that could be passed by one person.
He raised his eyebrows and followed Lu Jianmin.
The lights were bright below, and an old man who looked a little familiar to Lu Nanke was busy in front of a bunch of machines that Lu Nanke couldn't understand with other white coats.
It's him?
Lu Nanke suddenly remembered where he had seen this old man.
In the last world, when I finally followed Miss Lu on a date, the commander-in-chief of the group of countermeasure team members who blocked the way was this old man!
"He is Zhou Kejie, and his apparent identity is the director of our mental hospital." Lu Jianmin introduced to Lu Nanke with an expressionless face, "In fact, Dr. Zhou is the leader of the salvation team, mainly responsible for researching countermeasures. ”
Zhou Kejie also saw Lu Nanke, his expression was a little surprised, "Old Lu, is it okay to let him know this?" His mental state ......"
"He wasn't ready two days ago, but now the timing is just right."
After explaining, seeing that Lu Nanke didn't know why, Lu Jianmin said lightly: "You accidentally broke the matter here two days ago, but the time was not ripe at that time, so I asked them to give you medicine and forget everything here."
"But your growth today is beyond my expectations, and ...... The target has also become more active, and there is no time to put it off any longer. ”
Lu Nanke frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Jianmin didn't answer, but turned around and said, "Let him see." ”
Zhou Kejie didn't say much, just gave a few orders, and then the data that Lu Nanke couldn't understand on the big screen disappeared, and were replaced by pictures from all angles under the camera.
That's what the world looks like outside the asylum.
The ground was covered with dried plasma and blood, and the ground seemed to be a road of flesh and blood paved with the internal organs and corpses of some creature.
The buildings are also covered in flesh, and look at the trembling of those flesh buildings...... It's like a creature breathing!
And in the streets, countless monsters are wandering aimlessly.
There are skinless coke monsters and half-body four-legged monsters that Lu Nanke has seen, as well as various other flesh monsters that are deformed and twisted and have no skin.
And behind the diffuse fog, there seemed to be some monster shadows hundreds of meters high looming from time to time.
Lu Nanke was stunned.
"This is the reality of the world." Lu Jianmin walked up to Lu Nanke at some point, "You think the hospital is a cage that traps you, but in fact it is a shelter, and beyond the hospital you yearn for is hell."
"Twenty-seven years ago, the world began to change after your mother entrusted you to me and disappeared."
After a pause, he seemed to have a lot of things he didn't want to say, "In short, after more than twenty years, the world has become like this, and there are only fifty-seven safe zones left in the world.
"Those monsters are all transformed by humans, maybe 'they' don't like to transform psychopaths, only madmen can hold on for a while longer.
"But just last night, we lost contact with the other fifty-six safe zones, perhaps the last human zone in the world."
Lu Jianmin glanced at Lu Nanke, "The reason why it's okay here is probably because there is a monster here, a monster that has produced 'antibodies'. But the price is after 12 a.m....... Maybe it will take some people to buy a night of peace. In fact, the nights for the past twenty years or so have been peaceful, as long as ...... Follow the rules. ”
Lu Nanke didn't speak.
Lu Jianmin said: "Do you want to go out and have a look, the so-called seeing is believing." ”
"There's no need." Lu Nanke pursed his lips, "In order to make such a big deal out of this lie...... You don't have to be so boring. I'll reply to a message. ”
The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.
I have to say that this mobile phone is quite familiar, and Lu Nanke was beaten like that without breaking it.
He took out his mobile phone, and there was a message from Shen Xinghua on it.
[Shen Xinghua: How's it going? It's getting dark, and if you don't rest for a while, will you be able to hold on to midnight? 】
[Andrology: It's okay, I'll go back in a while.] 】
He put away his phone and found that Zhou Kejie had been staring at his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Your phone...... Forget it. Zhou Kejie patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, this is a good thing." ”
Only those with brain problems can survive with minimal risk of being converted.
At least in addition to feeling that he is a doctor and treating a toy mobile phone as a real mobile phone, Lu Nanke looks quite normal.
"Okay, Doctor, you guys are still busy here, and you can come to me anytime if you have something."
Lu Jianmin patted Lu Nanke on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm."
Lu Nanke followed him silently, left the basement, and returned to the vice president's office.
Lu Jianmin made him a cup of Tieguanyin, and then said, "You looked preoccupied just now, what's wrong." ”
Lu Nanke said leisurely: "It's nothing, it's just that I figured out some things." ”
"It's what Wu De said to Shen Xinghua." Lu Jianmin also poured tea into his teacup, and then took a sip of strong tea while holding the cup, "Both of them have paranoia, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”
"I understand." Lu Nanke smiled, and then asked, "How to save this world?" Actually, I'm that monster, right, is my mom a genius researcher in this world? Am I the perfect creature she's developed to carry antibodies? Or am I actually the pathogen? ”
"Neither." Lu Jianmin shook his head slightly, "This world is hopeless, you have to leave this world." ”
"Why?" Lu Nanke frowned, "Didn't you say that my mother wanted you to leave me in this world?" ”
"That was in the past, because while I don't know the situation, the outside world should be more dangerous. I will not allow you to remain in this hopeless world. Now that you have enough self-preservation, after finding the key to leave...... Just leave. Your mother said that she left the key in this hospital and would show up after 12 a.m., so find the key and leave tonight. ”
Lu Jianmin's eyes were very calm, as if he was saying something inconsequential.
Lu Nanke frowned, "Why?" Is it really okay to disobey my mom? ”
"Because you called me godfather, then I, as a guardian, will protect your safety."
"But that's just expediency, I never thought of you as my elder."
"It's okay."
Lu Jianmin remained calm, as if his mood had never fluctuated.
"I don't care."
