Chapter 279: Zero Drug Tester Recovery Plan (5,000 words)
The longer Xiao Huan and Yang Jia's trip progressed, the more speechless the two became.
They can also have some natural conversations at the beginning, discuss a certain phenomenon or an event, or subconsciously comfort each other when they see something uncomfortable.
However, as they walked through the world and saw more and more things, they became more accustomed to silence.
Later, they didn't even say a word all day, just savoring the strong impact of the world on their own.
When there is still a gap in the hearts of both parties, they can try to comfort each other and share the pressure.
But when the depression in the hearts of both parties has reached the extreme, and both have shown a state of overflow, then they don't have enough strength to share it for each other.
The initial decision to make this trip was because Xiao Huan knew that patient zero had been forced to feed the pain of the whole world, and in addition, he also vaguely felt that some of his decisions would have an impact on the fate of the whole world.
And he just felt that he was not qualified to make decisions for the world, and he did not feel that he could take on this responsibility, so he had to go out for a walk.
He tried to understand the world more broadly and realistically, so that he could make decisions.
But gradually, as he learned more and more about the world, he had more and more of a feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed by pain, and he was more unable to make these decisions.
Sensitive people do not see pain, even if they themselves are not necessarily lucky.
Yang Jia found out that Xiao Huan was in a bad state, in fact, there have been many times, and wanted to persuade Xiao Huan to end this trip and go back to Heimen City to discuss together, but this suggestion was unspeakable.
Because at this time, she had a suspicion, and she even had a feeling that she was escaping from the battle by persuading Xiao Huan to go back now.
She used to be very determined, believing that she must carry out Noah's plan and close the singularity.
It has nothing to do with how the singularity came to be or what it has experienced, just because the singularity threatens the world, just because the singularity is spreading and devouring the world step by step, so she has to do it.
But gradually, she was a little less determined.
She couldn't say anything that was destined to sacrifice someone in order to save the world, and she didn't want to say that she was so noble and not so cheeky.
But if it's just for yourself, it seems too selfish.
Now on this journey, she has also seen too much misery and pain, indifference and greed, as if there are too many similar colors in this world, and she can't bear to add another stroke.
Fortunately, Xiao Huan made a decision softly at this time:
"The last city, we're done, let's go back!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Finally?"
Yang Jia was a little surprised, glanced at Xiao Huan's eyes, and she nodded slowly.
But she didn't understand, is there anything special about this last city?
Along the way, they've seen too much.
Chaotic, confined, bustling, yet dilapidated, the streets are full of numb people, the upstairs are full of successful people who take what they deserve, and the corners are full of monsters who have been forced out of their inner malice by the huge pressure.
She was tired of seeing such a scene for a long time.
This seems to be what the world will eventually turn out to be.
In the past, the world was once full of resources, and the food grown in the fields was destined to be impossible to feed too many people, so there were always wars, the human race seemed naΓ―ve and cruel, and there would always be people dying of hunger and chaos, which was the law of society.
No one will say that they are wrong, because there is not enough things, just not enough.
But no one can explain why when the world is prosperous and upgraded, and materials are abundant, there are still people who can't eat?
Again, this statement is not blaming anyone, because this is a collective human problem.
Yang Jia's mind always flashed this chaotic thought, but he didn't know what Xiao Huan was going to see in this last city, until he followed his gaze and saw a little boy.
He looked to be only seven or eight years old, and he was very thin, but his eyes were dark and slender, and he was very bright.
He always crouched in front of the glass window of a video store on the side of the street, looking at a television inside, and movies were always playing on it.
The owner of the video shop likes to show some movies to attract the attention of passers-by.
It's just that no one likes this old-fashioned and fake thing among the busy pedestrians on the street, plus the boss is a nostalgic person, always playing some old-fashioned literary films, so there are very few people who stop, only this little boy, no one knows what his name is, where he comes from, and I don't know why no one called him home for dinner, he is the most loyal small audience of the owner of the video store, whenever these old-fashioned movies start to play, he squats out the window, holds his chin, stares at the black slippery eyes, and watches intently.
The owner of the video shop found out about him, and he picked him up a few times at first, but he always came back secretly and stopped picking him up.
One of them was in the store, the other outside the store, enjoying the movie together, and sometimes the boss would intentionally play some warm movies.
For example, a homeless child, and a warm uncle, such as those who are in a desperate situation and still yearn for hope, such as those who have super strength, but actually do not make money to play with women, but help the poor movies.
Every time the little boy arrived, his eyes brightened brighter.
He crouched in front of the window and watched the sun set, until the street was empty and there were no pedestrians.
During the period, the uncle had a few times, to beckon him into the store, but he always shook his head, timidly did not dare to go in, the boss sometimes, will also use himself as a sandwich for dinner, break half to him, he refused to ask, a smoke ran away, not long after holding half of the burger I don't know where to pick up, and the boss looked at each other and smiled, through a glass window, facing the same TV, eating together, immersed in this warm movie, as if the whole world, with the color of the movie, became warm.
But the world always seems to refuse to stay too much in any one warm moment, and the boss is getting older.
His memory is also becoming more and more confusing, often sitting in one place for a long time, forgetting that he is opening a store, forgetting to change films, and even forgetting who he is.
He could not see that the boy's clothes were sometimes tattered, and sometimes there was blood on them.
The little boy was not upset that his boss neglected him, after all, he was used to it, he just liked to watch movies and like to immerse himself in such a world.
Until one day, the little boy came very late, the boss dozed off, all day, until the evening, he was woken up by the cold wind, he seemed to be awake for a rare moment, glanced out of the empty window, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned out the old movie from the cabinet.
He played the old movie, as if hoping to bring the boy over.
My Alzheimer's disease seems to be getting worse and worse, maybe I need a little apprentice to help me take care of it?
He thought, silently fell into a stupor, never to wake up again.
Only the movie was playing, for a long time, for a long time, and near the end, the little boy appeared, covering his head, and his head was bleeding.
He walked through the street weakly and in a blur, not knowing where he was going, but the struggle of his life kept him walking, as if to come to a warm and safe place.
He stopped when he saw the movie playing behind the glass window.
He wiped off the blood that covered his eyes, stared, and watched the child in the movie, holding the corner of his uncle's clothes.
I don't know when the movie stuck.
The wind on the side of the street, rolling up the garbage, flew over, and one of them was pasted on the little boy's body, he didn't move, and the old poster was removed from his body by the wind, stained with a little blood, and flew into the distance, and he still didn't move.
He didn't move, and neither did the boss.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yang Jia looked at the scenes flashing in front of her, and suddenly couldn't help but shed tears.
She couldn't understand and couldn't believe it.
If it weren't for the fact that he was standing here at this time, how could he believe that a little boy had died in this street full of his kind?
The little boy's dark eyes had dimmed.
If it is really like the rumors, before a person dies, he can leave the last picture he sees, then what he sees must be the warm ending of the movie, right?
"It's hard for me to believe it......"
On the side of the street, suddenly a colder and colder wind blew, rolling up the sky full of garbage and paper bags, in this chaotic wind, at the corner of the street in the distance, I don't know when, a man in a suit appeared.
He carried a silver box in his hand, blue glasses on his face, and was tall and indifferent.
His voice, as if coming from the other end of the city, was cold and clear: "The dignified Pill Zero, the executor of Noah's Plan, who was once pinned on by the Black Forest, is wasting time here when the survival of the whole world is waiting for you to save it?" β
Xiao Huan lost his mind slightly, his eyes moved away from the little boy in front of the glass window, and looked at the man who seemed to be far away and seemed to be close at hand.
His expression was calm, but there seemed to be something surging in his eyes, and he said, "Waste of time? β
"Of course."
The man with the silver suitcase in his hand said lightly: "Wasting time on such meaningless things, of course, is a waste." β
Xiao Huan seemed to be incomprehensible, his eyes had a strange hollowness, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Why?" β
"Hoo ......"
The man shook his head, as if he didn't bother to answer his question, but slowly moved forward, and said lightly: "I hate those people who are sad and sad, they don't even know the world, but they are afraid that others will not see their kindness. β
"I also hate movies, it's just a beautiful illusion that only makes people lose their judgment of the cruelty of this world."
"You've come to this level, don't you understand?"
"This world naturally has its own laws, and it is not subject to individual will."
"So in this world, there will always be a poor person who has been deprived of everything, and if this poor person sits in the seat of the one who deprived him, he will also deprive others. This world is alive, it is alive, and in its life, there will naturally be some that will be eliminated. Don't think that when you see the rulers of this world, and when you see the poor people in this world, you think that you understand everything. The world needs the rich, it needs the people in power, so as long as the world exists, they will exist forever......"
ββ¦β¦ How can a person who is only touching himself by the withered weeds in the garden really have the ability to appreciate the whole garden? β
ββ¦β¦β
As he spoke, he walked forward, his eyes even a little cold: "Usually we can pretend and say something that touches us, but when it comes to the critical moment, we all have to make those useful decisions." β
"It's like people will always be moved by the uncle who gave the last bread to the child in despair."
"But in the real reality, the uncle will kick the child away and take all the bread without hesitation."
"Even children will become food for him......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Hoo ......"
Yang Jia listened to his words, and suddenly felt an indescribable resentment in his heart, and a sense of anger caused by his words hitting some kind of truth.
She almost subconsciously wanted to refute.
However, she felt that Xiao Huan was in front of her, and it also covered the other party's gaze at her, which made her vaguely understand something, so she could only force herself and hold back for the time being.
And Xiao Huan didn't refute this person's words, but suddenly took a deep breath and said, "I don't like what you said very much." β
"Who are you?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Me?"
And when Xiao Huan asked this question, the person carrying the silver suitcase gradually showed a cold smile on his face, and nodded lightly to Xiao Huan:
"I'm here to discuss with you the fourth phase of Noah's plan."
ββ¦β¦β
"Noah?"
Xiao Huan frowned slightly and said, "That's our plan." β
"No, you're just the executor we've chosen."
The person carrying the silver suitcase couldn't help but laugh and explained softly: "Project Noah has never been yours, and it doesn't even belong to Kuang Juemin who raised this question. β
"It was because of our influence that he came up with this plan."
"Of course, he doesn't know it himself, after all, a madman who lives in illusion, you can't demand so much from him."
ββ¦β¦β
"Elder ......"
Xiao Yan sighed in a low voice, and he didn't know why, he was not surprised when he heard this secret.
Noah's plan, indeed, overlaps too much with the Black Forest's world upgrade plan.
Even at the beginning, the shepherd once said that it was he who worked with the elder to formulate the Noah plan, but at that time, through his observation of the shepherd, he did not feel that he had the ability to completely control the elder elder.
Now it seems that perhaps even the shepherds are not really the masterminds?
This answer was already a rough conjecture when Yang Jia told herself about the Lost Island worriedly.
"Lost Island?"
Behind Xiao Huan, Yang Jia heard the other party introduce himself as coming from the island, and heard the other party say the words that had affected the elder without care, and his face couldn't help but condense.
Are they from that island?
They deliberately erased the traces of their existence, and even the mysterious source was vaguely fearful?
This answer almost made her lose control immediately and wanted to make a move, but Xiao Huan was still blocking her, and the silent background seemed to hint at something about her, so that Yang Jia could only force herself not to be impulsive.
Xiao Huan, this guy also said that he was a little reckless.
But where did he recklessly, when he saw this guy appear, he only almost shot twice.
"But Project Noah has always been carried out by me."
Xiao Huan looked up at the person carrying the silver suitcase, and his expression was still faint: "The parts needed in the early stage and the route in the later stage are also in my heart." β
"What do you want now?"
"Replace me?"
ββ¦β¦β
"No, don't worry."
The man carrying the suitcase suddenly smiled and said, "We don't have the idea of replacing the executor. β
"Besides, there are some things that only you can handle."
"It's just that now Dante's organization and the hellish organization are not honest, and we need to deal with certain things quickly, believe me, we have been waiting on the island for many years and know the importance of opportunity."
"And you were very negative at such a critical time, so that's why we came out."
"We hope you can face up to who you are, seize the opportunity, and move forward with the next plan quickly, and the other thing is that discipline is very important, you didn't perform very well before, and the people on the island are not very happy with you."
ββ¦β¦β
"That's ......"
Xiao Huan nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "Then what if, I'm still not satisfied with the follow-up plan?" β
The man carrying the suitcase had a slightly tense face, but after a long time, he suddenly smiled again and said, "Then, I need to adjust you well." β
"Hoo ......"
Just as he said this, all of a sudden, there was a cold wind around him, and there seemed to be some kind of huge, abnormal wind, which passed through the city full of garbage on the ground, blowing the garbage all over the sky, almost obscuring people's vision, and when the garbage in the sky slowly landed, in front of the man with the silver suitcase, there was already a woman's figure, which was the rabbit boss, she was barefoot, tilted her head, and her body was also tilted and wooden, like a puppet with a string.
Only on the crooked head, a pair of eyes, still looking at Xiao Huan, seemed to show a little cry for help.
Whoa......
There was a sound of rustling around, and one after another strange figures appeared, all of whom were people Xiao Huan had seen before, lovely guests from the Iceberg Bar.
But now, their state is very weird, appearing quietly, staring at themselves in all directions.
"It's true, I've lived in hallucinations for too long, causing you one by one to always lose sight of your true identity......"
The man carrying the suitcase shook his head helplessly, reached out to hold the headset, and said lightly: "All units are ready, and now we will start to recover the No. 0 drug tester." β
"Minor damage is allowed!"
