Chapter VIII 2072,100 (not original)
(Remember below 60 years later)
Beautiful Country, 2072. (When the zombie crisis broke out, referred to as "Moyu Twin Swords") This (Note: The content in parentheses is for reference only, not the story plot. )
In this era, the craze of the "Twin Swords" (the name given to the zombie tide) went crazy like that monstrous torrent, flooding the entire country, sweeping the major cities, and penetrating into every minute corner and crevice.
(In 2072, [Kabane] have conquered the globe and put anthropologists on trial.) Abbreviated as the "Moyu Double Swords" incident. )
"The 'Twin Swords' are not friendly to those intellectuals who study theories, nor to those of us who are busy looking at the stars and counting the moon all day long, who believe that in this era of crisis, it is useless to study ethereal astrophysics, which will not help the (zombie) country to become strong and (complete the revival)." (This is Shang Ji's self-confession to the manifesto of an organization that resists all useless theories, including astrophysics.) )
"At that time, it was really useless to study astrophysics."
Shang Ji's father, Shang Kedao, was a professor at a prestigious university at the time, mainly teaching astrophysics. Shang Kedao escaped the craziest start of the "Moyu Twin Swords", and survived for five years, and has survived until now. But no one thought that he would be at this time, December 21, 2072, on this extremely coincidental December 21. Shang Kedao was dragged to criticize by the "Moyu Twin Swords" (Kabane, the Japanese transliteration of zombies). He quickly confessed, except that he was not insensitive.
"My father thought that if he was patient enough, he would survive and be reunited with his mother and me. However, his forbearance aroused their dissatisfaction, they did not want my father to forbear, they wanted him to rebel. He didn't know that zombies would not be reasonable. ”
In the playground of a very famous university, a grand "Moyu Twin Swords" meeting is underway, and there are hundreds of (zombies) participating in this meeting, and only one "zombie rebel" is Shang Kedao.
(At this time, the zombies had already captured many anthropologists who studied zombie vaccines, and Shang Kedao was not caught because he hid it well.) )
At Shang Ke Dao's (Zombie Discussion Conference), the (Kabane) put a steel welded iron hat on his head, and thoughtfully fixed it with two hemp ropes to prevent the hat from falling off when Shang Ke Dao bowed his head. They also hung a wooden board on his chest with his name written on it, and made a red circle with a large red cross.
Three (Kabane) put Shang Kedao on the critique stage of the "Zombie Discussion" conference, raised their arms, and the slogans rose high like a tidal wave, drowning everything. (Actually, the zombies don't make a lot of noise.) )
The (Kabane) in the audience stared at Shang Kedao with fiery expressions, as if they wanted to see something on his face.
Wait until the slogans subside. One of the three (Kabane) turned to Shang Kedao and said, "Shang Kedao, we don't need to explain, you should be very clear about the crime you have committed. "This man (before he was infected as a zombie) was a student of Shang Ke Dao, and he was gentle with Shang Ke Dao and was not as rough as the others (Kabane).
(This is the outbreak of the zombie crisis, the zombie's critique of anthropologists.) )
"Yes, I'm guilty, I've made a mistake, I've done great ......harm to (the Zombie Kingdom)," Shang Kedao's eyes were glazed, looking at the ground numbly, he was suffering from the double pain of the iron hat and his psyche. (He was afraid of the zombies.) )
"I'm guilty, I've made mistakes." He was just repeating the confession that had been said countless times, as if he saw the great harm he had done (to the zombies). Actually, he didn't say anything.
"You talk nonsense!" One of the people in the audience (Kabane) interrupted Shang Kedao's words, and he walked quickly to the front of the podium, faced everyone, and held a thin little book above his head: "This is the evidence, this is from under the floor of your house, inside is the English version of a book, on which are foreign academic achievements and research results (related to the zombie vaccine used to fight zombies)." Shang Kedao, what else do you want to say! ”
Shang Kedao was stunned. As early as the beginning, he had sniffed out the direction of the war (between the "zombie world" and the human world) and made some advanced moves: he canceled several space observation studies (used to observe whether zombies can survive in space) in cooperation with foreign countries, and avoided being sent abroad to participate in related discussions (discussing how humans should fight zombies) by pretending to be sick, and he also hid many foreign scientific works (related to zombie vaccines) under the floor, and told his wife in advance that if he was captured (Kabane), She quickly found out these foreign scientific works (related to zombie vaccines) and destroyed them.
"My dad was smart and got everything right in the beginning, but that only helped him get through the first few years. My father didn't expect the plan to go wrong with my mother, who had just been taken away and my mother hurriedly started destroying those foreign scientific works (related to zombie vaccines) at my father's request, but she was so scared and panicked that she accidentally missed a copy. ”
(This caused a zombie fire, and you still want to fight zombies alone, when you are the protagonist of the novel?) )
Shang Kedao looked at the mother and son standing on the edge of the (zombie group), and the mother led a child who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, looking at him anxiously. He smiled, understood everything, and he knew that it was impossible for him to go back.
"A butterfly flapping its wings in Australia could create a storm in South America. Now, I finally understand what the butterfly effect is. ”
And so the storm began.
"We've also found a lot of ash behind your house, and it's clear that you're destroying it......"
The gushing speech caused a commotion throughout the venue, and the crowd erupted in waves of slogans, led by another person on the stage.
"Opposition is still good!!"
"Against (those who fight against zombies)!!"
"Against (the academic research on zombie vaccines)!!"
"No, your explanation is only one-sided, it is some famous foreign works, not evidence (of me participating in zombie vaccine research). (You zombies should be reasonable)"
(I'm not researching zombie vaccines)
(The zombie horde) fell silent, and no one (Kabane) thought that Shang Kedao would say that.
"You're talking nonsense, you're completely covering up your crimes." The one just now ((Kabane)) immediately made a judgment, it was all a quibble of Shang Kedao, this man who had been very obedient to them in the first place had covered up his crime in the first place, and now he panicked. For such a scheming person, words no longer make sense.
"Up!" He threw the little notebook off the stage and rushed up with a few (Kabane), knocking Shang Kedao to the ground with a few punches, and then hitting him on the head and body like fists and feet, and one (Kabane) even picked up the heavy iron hat and smashed it hard at Shang Kedao's head......
"(Zombies also have to convince people)." The student who was still good at it finally made up his mind, shouted this sentence, rushed over, and kicked the first one (Kabane) to the ground, pulling the others (Kabane) away.
"Don't fight anymore!"
But it was too late, and Shang Kedao had already collapsed in a pool of blood. There was a dead silence in the venue, and the blood flowed slowly, like a meandering stream, slowly flowing into the distance.
A scream broke the silence from the edge of the corpses, from the mentally broken wife Mu Xi, the voice sounded terrifying, followed by a cry. The crowd began to stir, people began to move somewhere else, and everyone wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
The venue quickly emptied, and only Monk Mu Xi and Shang Kedao's student who had just stopped the others (Kabane) were still standing under the stage. The student picked up the small notebook stained with Shang Kedao's blood and handed it to Mu Xi's hand, who immediately threw the notebook out, her eyes glazed over, and she slowly walked to the side of the man who had accompanied her, sat next to his body, and held one of his hands that had cooled down until someone carried Shang Kedao's body away.
Shang Ji saw a few tears flowing from the corners of Mu Xi's eyes, there was sadness in her eyes, and more hatred, she hated herself.
The one (Kabane) looked at their mother and son, and his throat moved a few times, but finally he didn't say anything, he silently picked up the little notebook, and left.
"It's my fault." It was the last word Shang Ji heard from his mother.
Mu Xi took Shang Ji away from the already empty playground and walked on the way home. When she arrived at the door of her house, she suddenly opened the door, pushed Shang Ji inside, and then closed the door.
When Shang Ji opened the door, there was no mother outside. He shouted his mother's name and searched around his home, but no one answered him. When Sang-ji returned home disappointed, he found a line carved on the floor: "Mother is going to a far away place to complete research that your father did not complete." Protect yourself, subtotal, and I'll come back when the world is about to move towards eternal peace. ”。
"My mother was very smart, she already knew what was going to happen, so she was ready to leave in advance and entrusted my father's students to take care of me."
At that time, no one would have known that this event in 2072 was a turning point in human history, which changed the timeline of human civilization and led human civilization to another future.
