Volume 2 Evil Guest 059 Homecoming
A raging flame is burning.
The corpse curled up in the heat, making a squeaky sound.
No one spoke in the firelight, all of them looked at the flames silently, their expressions blank.
The child took the girl's hand, raised her head, which was a little too big, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Sister...... I'm hungry. ”
As soon as he said that he was hungry, the other two children couldn't stand it anymore, and they also grabbed the girl's clothes together, "Sister, I'm hungry too, I'm so hungry." ”
Surrounded by three children shouting, the girl's face did not have any expression, she watched in a daze as the figure in the firelight gradually turned into black charcoal, as if tears suddenly flowed from her face in a daze.
The child looked up at the tears on the girl's face, his eyes widened a little, and he slowly stopped screaming.
He tilted his head slightly, as if hesitating, and then made up his mind again, and felt three white clay pieces from his bosom.
Hand one piece to each of your friends, and then lick the remaining piece gently.
to soothe the burning hunger in the belly.
"We are sinners, but we are human beings, so we must hold on to the final bottom line so that we can go back."
The girl muttered to herself like a dream, and looked at the sky blankly.
There was no sky underneath, only a rock wall covered with glowing moss, and the sinuous vines were as hideous as scars, but they were too far away, but they were like clouds, like gray skies, like dreams that were out of reach.
"Sinners? I'm a little curious about this, can you tell me more about that? ”
Li Boyang appeared silently on the edge of the firelight, and no matter how soft his voice was, it startled everyone.
Unfortunately, they were too hungry, weak, and weak, and even if they were frightened, they only shook their bodies slightly and let out a low whimper.
"Senior brother, I feel that you have scared them." Behind Li Boyang, Romi whispered softly.
Kaisheng reached out and patted Romy on the shoulder, pulling him back, "It's a bit rude, but I'm curious too. ”
He squinted his eyes and looked around, and the people here, young and old, were all dressed in tatters, so thin that only bones remained, and on their hands, feet, or skin, there were strange and disgusting granulations, all of which were shriveled and looked like they were about to become moldy.
A man in a tattered military uniform, with a black cloth covering his face, crossed in front of the girl, stretched out his hand to protect the girl, and asked in an extremely hoarse voice, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? On his outstretched arms, several withered flesh buds towered down, and his mutation was significantly higher than that of others.
"Look at your clothes, you're from the bunker front squad?" Li Boyang was a little surprised, "I remember that the battle front team usually patrols and guards the bunker ground, right?" Most of the dormitories are also on the surface, and the radiation from the annihilation bomb is the greatest, but you didn't die? Luckily. ”
"Don't be nervous, we don't have malicious intent, just a little curious."
"Curious about what?" The girl was bold, poking her head out from behind the man in military uniform, and asked.
The man in military uniform didn't stop him, obviously he also wanted to know what the three people who suddenly appeared were here for.
"No...... I think I'll leave that question at the end. Li Boyang looked at the man in military uniform, and changed his words, "It's really strange, shouldn't you be happy to see someone coming and be saved?" But you don't seem to be the slightest bit happy, but very defensive. ”
"Do you think that since the Black Iron Battle Fortress finally activated the Annihilation Bomb, your side will naturally be abandoned by the Legion front?"
"So when you see someone coming outside, you will not be happy, but hesitant, defensive, and uneasy."
"For those of us who don't live long, isn't it natural to give up?" The man in military uniform scoffed, "I don't believe that there will be someone to rescue after this explosion." ”
"Instead, it is to exterminate all those who know and not let the news of the fall of the Black Iron Battle Castle leak out for a minute, which is what those ugly guys who are high up will do."
Li Boyang looked at him, "I think you made a mistake, the Black Iron Battle Fort used the Annihilation Bomb, not because of internal problems, let alone because of accidents, but to resist foreign enemies and try to die with them." ”
The man in military uniform was obviously stunned, and his body shook a little, if it wasn't for the girl holding him, he was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground.
"How so? Am I wrong? ”
Li Boyang shook his head, "It's not wrong to say that you are wrong, at least the speculation of 'exterminating all those in the know and not letting the news of the fall of the Black Iron Battle Castle leak out for a minute and a half' is correct." ”
Then he looked at the girl behind the man in military uniform, "Can you explain what a sinner is?" I'm very interested in that. ”
The girl froze for a moment, then looked at the man in military uniform, and then said slowly, "It's not a secret. ”
"In order to build the underground city of Cadilla, many criminals were detained in the inner world."
"A very small number of descendants of petty offenders have become the natives there, and the felons have been thrown into various sentry bunkers in the spirit of non-waste."
"And most of us, the natives of bunkers, are descendants of those who have committed serious crimes."
"The Front Bureau has promised us that we will be allowed to return to the surface world as long as we have been guarding for thirty years and are free of any criminal stains."
"Do you want to go to the watch world?" Triumph interjected suddenly.
The girl looked at Kaisheng and smiled sadly, "I actually just want to go up and see the real sky." ”
The sense of fragility revealed at that moment was like broken glass, brilliant but broken.
Romy's eyes turned red in an instant, don't look away, don't dare to look again.
Kaisheng was silent for a moment and then asked, "Do all of you people here think so?" ”
"I don't know, I just want to go home and see, my deceased father once told me that this is our home." The man in military uniform replied in an extremely low and hoarse voice.
"Woo woo, I... I want to go up. ”
"Woo... My mother said there was a blue sky, white clouds, and a golden sun, which I had never seen. ”
"I heard my mom say that the sun shines on her body very, very warm, just like she hugged me."
"In that case, does it mean that I see my mother again?"
"Mom's ......"
A child suddenly burst into tears, crying and shouting.
When he cried, the two children next to him cried too.
Unfortunately, they were all too weak and severely dehydrated, and even though their eyes became red, not a few tears came out.
Romi obviously didn't dare to look at it anymore, and his body couldn't help but shake slightly at this time.
Kai Sheng frowned, let out a long sigh, and was about to take some food and water from his carry-on package, but was stopped by Li Boyang reaching out.
"Wait a minute, food and water, I don't want you to distribute it, let them distribute it themselves later."
Kevin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became very complicated.
Li Boyang turned around and whispered, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to test human nature." ”
"Humanity never stands the test."
"I just want to know their persistence...... What exactly are they holding on to? ”
He turned his head to look at the people around him with sad faces.
Li Boyang's eyes darkened, these people should be desperate, but their eyes told him that they didn't give up.
"I know you're hungry, you're hungry, I know you're short of water and food."
"You only need to look at it and you can see it all."
"So I had to ask a very harsh and unreasonable question."
"Why burn the body, not treat it as a ......"
"I don't think it's a crime, it's understandable."
"What the hell are you holding onto?"
Li Boyang didn't say what to do, but as long as it was a person, he should understand the meaning of his words.
There is no doubt that this question is very sharp and mean.
It's like the last sharp knife that pierces through humanity.
I don't see blood, but I punish my heart.
The man in military uniform shook and let out a shriveled laugh.
"yes, I'm also curious about what the hell we're holding onto."
"But sometimes, there are some things that don't need answers, right?"
"If I had to ask why."
"I guess I just want to go home."
"We were born underground, but we longed to return to our original home."
"Day and night...... Carved into the bone marrow. ”
"If you put a condition on top of that."
"That's probably ...... I want to go home as a decent person. ”
The military-uniformed man's voice was not high, low and hoarse, with a strange pharyngeal voice.
But in Li Boyang's ears, this voice was like a vast and boundless sea, suddenly setting off a small wave.
And like a dark and boundless void, a faint light suddenly exploded.
It's like a delicate gear of destiny that fell into an unexpected pinion.
It's obviously so weak and insignificant, but it has made incredible changes to everything around it.
The sea, because of the waves set off a tsunami.
Void, because of the glimmer of light born the universe.
Fate, because the accident is no longer fateful.
In this moment, Li Boyang thought a lot.
There seemed to be a streamer turning in his eyes, and he seemed to see the life and death, ups and downs of human beings.
Past, present, future...... Everything unfolded before his eyes like a picture scroll.
If the light and shadow change, it will come and go in an instant.
He saw it as if he didn't see anything, he understood, but it was as if he didn't understand anything.
In this wonderful state of mind, an illusory aura suddenly lit up around his body.
It was like breathing and extinguishing several times before the aura gradually disappeared.
Li Boyang looked down at his hand, and was a little stunned for a while.
The upper limit of the Yuan Energy Vortex was silently broken at this moment.
What's going on?
The change of the mind actually has such a big impact on Yuan Neng??
Countless questions came up in an instant, and Li Boyang only felt a headache, and always felt that the three views had been reshaped.
