Chapter 106: The Ladder of Heaven
This is a high-end laboratory hidden deep underground, with dim lighting, dilapidated experimental racks, and test tubes that have been used an unknown number of times, all set off this desolate and cruel world.
On the table, Xu Tao was carefully observing the boiling liquid in the test tube, and suddenly, there was excitement in his eyes that he had never felt in a few years, and he quickly picked up the pen and wrote down such a line:
"The two thousand three hundred and fifty-sixth experiments, successful!"
Resisting the urge to quickly take down the hot test tube, after the reagent was completely cooled, Xu Tao held the tube of reagent tightly in his hand, rushed to the door and opened the heavy iron door.
"Our experiments have ......"
Xu Tao was about to shout out the word success when he saw the cold eyes facing him.
Before he could scream, he was enveloped in the venom released by the alien snake, and in an instant, the venom began to spread throughout his body.
In the haze of consciousness, he seemed to have seen the night of Ningshi ten years ago, and his perception was released at this moment, and what kind of test tube was in his hand, it was clearly a box of cakes.
The sound of music mixed in the air has long been sealed in the depths of Xu Taochen's memory, and he has been stunned for a long time at the moment.
"This ......"
Xu Tao's thoughts were already turbulent, he just thought that all this was an illusion, but the noise around him was clear, even if Xu Tao couldn't understand it, he had to admit this fact.
He didn't die, he was more precise, he was born again, on the night of the catastrophe ten years ago.
The reason why he remembered this day was because it was at this location, at the moment when the clock rang in the center of the city, that he witnessed his girlfriend Su Jingjing and other men walking into the hotel next to him.
"Bell ......"
The pendulum clock in the center of the city really rang as violently as in his memory, spreading throughout the city, and Xu Tao's whole body instantly fell into coldness.
It was the bell at eight o'clock in the evening, and Ningcheng was still in a noisy place, and everyone was used to this bell for a long time.
However, only Xu Tao, who has experienced it once, knows that this voice is not only the end of the relationship between himself and Su Jingjing, but also the death knell for the glorious human civilization.
Because after 50 minutes, those meteor showers carrying parasites will come, which is a terrible disaster, nearly eighty percent of the people will be infected by the parasites and become zombies, and those who survive can only survive in the harsh environment and the cracks of mutated life.
Order collapses, morality falls, profit and selfishness, between heaven and hell, even if Xu Tao has already experienced it once, he doesn't want to go through this second time in the purgatory of blood and killing.
Not far away, the sound of men and women flirting and scolding came, Xu Tao retracted his thoughts, and his eyes fell on a man and a woman who were walking into the hotel.
He remembered the voices of these two people for ten years, as if he had accumulated ten years of hatred, and when these two people had not yet realized that they were here, Xu Tao took a few steps and stood directly in front of them.
"Xu Tao, ...... you" Su Jingjing obviously didn't expect Xu Tao to appear here, and her expression was panicked.
Xu Tao wouldn't give her a chance to say a second sentence at all, and slapped her in the face.
After experiencing the end of the world, Xu Tao has already become cold-blooded, and there will be no pity at all.
There were already people around who looked here and pointed at him, Xu Tao didn't even frown, and said sharply: "Do you know why I slapped you?"
Su Jingjing was completely frightened, in her impression, Xu Tao was not the kind of honest person who couldn't fight back and scolded and didn't fight back? At this moment, just like the explosion in silence, she felt even more scared.
"Speak!" Xu Tao was inexplicably angry, Su Jingjing's pitiful appearance, Xu Tao was extremely disgusted at the moment.
Wasn't it this kind of disguise in her previous life that allowed her to stab others in the back?
"Xu Tao, stop, we're just ......"
Standing next to Su Jingjing was Xu Tao's college classmate, this change happened instantly, and after he came to his senses, he was about to explain.
Xu Tao slapped him in the face with his backhand and shouted, "Shut up for me." ”
"I have struck you that you owe me, not because of your betrayal, but to fulfill a promise to a man. ”
Xu Tao threw the cake in his hand aside, even if today was Su Jingjing's birthday, she didn't deserve to be blessed.
Su Jingjing saw that Xu Tao was leaving, so she hurriedly came over and grabbed his arm, crying:
"Xu Tao, listen to my explanation. ”
If it was in his previous life, if Xu Tao saw Su Jingjing like this, he would really believe it, but after experiencing his previous life, he clearly knew that Su Jingjing had already betrayed him.
His eyes instantly turned cold, and he shouted, "Let go." ”
Su Jingjing bit her lip and slowly let go of her hand.
"Get out of the way in the future, and if you provoke me again, don't blame me for being rude to you. ”
Xu Tao no longer hesitated at all, and after his eyes swept over the crowd, he quickly determined a direction.
It was a pair of eyes staring at him, now in flight.
"Xiyan!" Xu Tao shouted, and at the moment when Lin Xiyan's footsteps paused, Xu Tao took two steps and hugged her tightly.
This was the only regret he had in his previous life, and he only learned about Lin Xiyan's love for him later, the kind of desperate to stand in front of him, but it was too late, Lin Xiyan's body had been pierced by Su Jingjing's knife, and there was no way to save it.
"Xiyan, do you know? I miss you!" Xu Tao choked up.
Lin Xiyan was completely stunned, the speed of this change was too fast, wasn't it? Isn't there only one Su Jingjing in Xu Tao's eyes? Of course, the sentence Xu Tao said I think you made her heart melt completely.
It's just that she didn't know that for her, it was just a few hours of lovesickness, but for Xu Tao, it was a full decade.
"We must live well, I will protect you!" Xu Tao said without saying anything, he was thinking more about a responsibility at this time.
If God allows him to live again, then he will live well, for his lover, brother, and former comrades.
And whether it is his experience in the last ten years of the world, or the experiment before his rebirth, it is a preemptive.
Letting go of the hug, Xu Tao looked at the pendulum clock in the city center, twenty minutes had passed, time was pressing, and he had to be fully prepared before the end of the world came.
"Xiyan, listen to me, I don't have time to explain to you, let's divide labor now. ”
Xu Tao said and took out his bank card, which was a fortune left to him by his parents before they died, but now, this money is just a tool that can save his life.
In Lin Xiyan's hesitation, Xu Tao stuffed the bank card into her hand.
"This card is 500,000 yuan, use this money to buy the small supermarket near the Internet café in Nancheng, remember to let everyone leave there before 8:50, and then, you have to close the door, no matter what happens outside, you don't go out, wait for my return." Remember my words, no matter what happens out there. ”
Xu Tao reminded very seriously, although Lin Xiyan felt that Xu Tao was a little abnormal today, she didn't ask more, but nodded heavily.
Lin Xiyan walked towards the southern city, Xu Tao looked at Lin Xiyan's back, and his eyes tightened directly.
"When the flowers fly in September, we are looking forward to our most beautiful encounter!"
Pieces of petals fell, Lin Ruo raised his head and looked at the rain of flowers, and inexplicably remembered such a sentence he heard when he was a child.
It seems that the parents walking on the road in their memory, holding her and her sister's little hands, the heavy truck whistling, all the beautiful moments are frozen, and in ten years, all of them have turned into Lin Ruo's lingering nightmare.
"Ahh
There were strange eyes around, and the noble woman walking behind Lin Ruo's face changed, and after taking two steps quickly, she pulled Lin Ruo into her arms and hugged her tightly.
"Okay, it's okay, there's my mother here. The woman said as she stroked her daughter's long hair.
Lin Ruo was stunned, raised his head and looked at Fang Qing, a mother who was not related by blood, but had given him happiness for ten years, and nodded lightly.
"You kid, isn't it good to live at home? you have to live in school, you look like this, how can you tell your mother to rest assured?" Fang Qing said a little angrily, she didn't really want to blame her daughter, but a worry.
After ten years of upbringing, how could she not know that Lin Ruo would be awakened by nightmares every night?
"Mom, I want to learn to be independent, I can't always be under the protection of my father and mother in this life, right?" Lin Ruo said with firmness in his eyes.
Fang Qing sighed after all, the question of whether Lin Ruo lived on campus had been discussed for a long time for a summer vacation, so it was pointless to talk about it now.
"Then you have to remember that if you are not used to living in school, then go home and live. Fang Qing admonished.
Lin Ruo nodded fiercely, Fang Qing's face could relax, and he looked at the gate of Jiangcheng University in front of him, and was about to accompany his daughter over when he heard his phone ringing.
While Fang Qing answered the phone, her assistant Bai Sisi hurriedly greeted her, and in her hands, she was pulling Lin Ruo's suitcase.
"Sister Sisi, let's do it with me!" Lin Ruo said and was about to go get the suitcase.
Of course, Bai Sisi refused, as Fang Qing's assistant and Lin Ruo and Lin Meng's life mentor, she watched Lin Ruo and Lin Meng grow up, just like her sister's kind.
"Miss, you live in the school this time, and no one will quarrel with Lin Meng in the future. Later, she will definitely quarrel with me. ”
Lin Ruo chuckled, Lin Meng was her sister, well, that is, Fang Qing's biological daughter, when she thought of Lin Meng's temperament, Lin Ruo shook her head lightly.
While she was talking, Fang Qing answered the phone and came back, just looking at her face, Lin Ruo felt that there must be something important about her mother, and it must be the company's business. Looking at Fang Qing's face, there was still a kind of entanglement.
"Mom, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy first! Lin Ruo didn't want her mother to be so entangled, so she opened her mouth before Fang Qing.
Fang Qing looked at Lin Ruo with great satisfaction, she could be considerate of her parents when she was a child, this is also the difference between Lin Ruo and Lin Meng, Lin Meng only knows nonsense.
Fang Qing's face instantly became a little apologetic, and she said softly: "Mom finally came to see you off once, and the company called again to talk about cooperation." ”
"Mom, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Lin Ruo said.
Fang Qing was indeed in a hurry, and after a few words of explanation, she asked Bai Sisi to accompany Lin Ruo in, of course, what she told the most was to ask Lin Ruo not to give Lin Meng pocket money.
Sending Fang Qing away, Lin Ruo led Bai Sisi into Jiangcheng University, she has been here too many times, of course, she used to come to visit Xu Mofeng, and today she has officially become a freshman at Jiangcheng University.
Lin Ruo and Xu Mofeng's affairs Bai Sisi knows, she has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and Bai Sisi has long been bought by Lin Ruo and Lin Meng, and when she reports to Fang Qing, she picks up irrelevant reports.
"Look, isn't that Lin Ruo, the eldest lady of the Lin family? It is said that she is the champion of liberal arts this year. ”
"Wow, that's true, as long as you can have a good relationship with Miss Lin Ruo, then do you still need to worry about internships in the future? The Lin family's industry is all over the country, and it can be sent now. ”
"I said, can't you think of something else? If you can catch up with Miss Lin Ruo, then at least fifty or sixty years of struggle will be missing. Besides, Miss Lin Ruo is a goddess. ”
"O my goddess!"
......
Today is the day of the college freshman report, the school gate is crowded, Lin Ruo's arrival has triggered a super high return rate, and she was immediately recognized as the eldest lady of the Lin family, and someone immediately rushed to take Lin Ruo's luggage.
Someone escorts, naturally it is much easier to go through the admission procedures, in just twenty minutes, Lin Ruo has come to the dormitory where she will live for four years, at this time, she is the only one here.
The first time she lived in school, this was the case, after Bai Sisi made her bed, she was also worried and repeatedly told Lin Ruo that Lin Ruo was also in her left ear and out of her right ear, and the thing she wanted most at the moment was to find her Xu Mofeng.
finally persuaded Bai Sisi to leave, and waited for her two roommates, so she couldn't say hello or not, Lin Ruo chatted with everyone again, and when she came out of the dormitory, it was already an hour later.
"The time I told Brother Mofeng was an hour later, and I like to see him waiting for me the most, but I don't know how surprised he will be when I suddenly appear behind him?" Lin Ruo showed excitement as she walked, and she was walking towards the gate of the school, she knew that Xu Mofeng must be waiting for her arrival there.
This was her surprise to Xu Mofeng, but as soon as she got out of the dormitory building, she saw Xu Mofeng walking towards him, and beside him was a girl.
Although she is not dressed very gorgeously, it is difficult to hide her beauty, and the most important thing is that she is exactly the same as Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo's performance at this moment should be so eye-catching, tears fell uncontrollably, and her mind recalled that ten years ago, she was holding her sister's hand tightly.
"Lin Xi!" Lin Ruo ran towards his own sister, and when Lin Xi didn't react, Lin Ruo hugged her tightly.
Xu Mofeng was stunned by the side, even those who were passing by stopped, how could there be two Lin Ruo?
"Lin Xi, my sister has been looking for you for a long time, where have you been all these years?" Lin Ruo's emotions could no longer be controlled.
She has been looking for a long, long time, and this is simply her sting over the years.
Lin Xi let Lin Ruo hold her, she was the same as Lin Ruo, she had nightmares for ten years, and now that she saw her own sister, the suffering she had suffered for so many years came out.
"Sister......" Lin Xi choked up.
"No, it's not two Miss Lin Ruo, look at the girl Miss Lin Ruo is hugging, the clothes she is wearing are too earthy. ”
There was a discussion next to it, but the two sisters didn't hear it at all, they were hugging each other, as if they had a deep sisterhood ten years ago.
