Absolute protagonist

$141 Time Traveler 2 (1/2)

Looking at the little boy's curved eyebrows and a smile on his lips that was exactly the same as his own, Chu Lin's chaotic emotions were swept away, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Originally, they went out to hunt in the wilderness, but due to special reasons, the entire team was almost wiped out, and all the companions died. Chu Lin never thought that he would have a chance to survive. And the person who saved him was a little boy who was only about ten years old.

Although children also need to be guarded against in this era, the child in front of him looks too soft and cute, and his temperament is very harmless. Even though Chu Lin claims to have been tempered for a long time, he can't help but soften his heart for him.

Such a child who looks innocent and innocent and ignorant of the world is really hard to have any malice. What's more, this little guy seems to have a good impression of himself.

However, the cruel reality soon slapped him in the face, and he knew what it meant to think too much.

Feeling the pulling force from his feet, Chu Lin sighed deeply, which was full of helplessness, sadness, and laughter...all kinds of complex emotions.

In the dense primitive jungle, the cold wind whistled, and the sound of grass and trees breaking and footsteps rang out all the way in the forest. I saw a little boy wrapped in a gray robe, walking in the forest with his clumsy and unfamiliar posture, with a strong sense of rhythm. He stared straight ahead with his eyes, looking very serious.

The boy's slender hands were holding a thick black vine, and the other end of the vine was tightly wrapped around the ankles of the young man behind him. He walked forward and dragged a path in the lush grass.

He looked relaxed, without any sign of effort. Although there was still not much expression on his little face, there was a little luster in his eyes, which made people know his joy at a glance. The proud posture was just like a hunter who returned victoriously with spoils.

"By the way, I can actually walk by myself - no no no, wait a minute, be careful of the tree stump!"

"- Bang!"

Chu Lin, who was dragged forward like a trophy, stretched out a hand to cover the big bump on his forehead, looked up at the sky, and looked numb.

The boy paused, looked back with some doubts, and his eyes were confused.

- He had just woken up from the underground ruins not long ago. Not long after he came to the outside world, he encountered all kinds of strange guys, and some four-legged beasts wanted to eat him. Today was the first time he saw a two-legged beast with a similar body shape to himself. In his vague concept in his mind, perhaps this should be his own kind?

Now it seems that this kind of person seems to be stupid?

Although he felt a little disgusted, after all, things are precious because they are rare. The boy just paused and continued to drag the other person forward.

Bypassing the messy metal fragments on the ground, the two came to a ruin deep in the forest. Chu Lin could no longer hide his shock after witnessing the boy open a door to the basement with unknown methods and take him in.

"Could it be... this is an ancient relic?!"

After entering the underground, Chu Lin knew that his guess was correct. All he saw were collapsed ruins, with only a few rooms barely intact. Occasionally, white bones were revealed under the ruins, and there were signs of decay everywhere. This was probably a huge underground base.

After being taken into a half-collapsed basement, Chu Lin tried to talk all the way:

"Little boy, what's your name? How did you appear here? Have you always lived here?"

The boy in a gray robe said nothing all the way, and did not pay attention to any questions raised by Chu Lin, which made him doubt: Could it be that this child has some congenital defects that make him unable to communicate?

A strange feeling passed through his heart, and his intuition told Chu Lin that he seemed to have overlooked something.

The next second, a soft finger gently poked his face. When Chu Lin came back to his senses, he was poked again.

He looked up blankly and saw the little boy looking at him up and down as if he was looking at some new toy or something he had never seen before. He poked him from time to time. His dark and pure eyes were filled with curiosity and joy, as if he was extremely curious about this bipedal beast that looked similar to himself.

Chu Lin's lips couldn't help but rise. While he felt helpless, he also felt a strange sense of relief.

He retracted his finger seriously, tilted his head and thought for a while, then took out an apple-sized, red fruit from somewhere, and handed it to the young man with an expectant look... Chu Lin was speechless.

Combining all the strange things since they met, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: I'm being kept as a pet? !

Thinking of the boy's clumsy walking posture like a beginner, and his temperament that was very different from other people in the outside world... It seemed that this child had grown up in the wilderness since childhood and knew nothing about the human world. Maybe he was the first person he had ever met.

Therefore, Chu Lin was treated like a monkey by him.

... Being able to survive alone in the wilderness until now, instead of being eaten by wild beasts, it seemed that this child was probably a gifted power holder. Even so, it must have been very difficult for him over the years.

After silently making a series of reasonable and logical assumptions in his mind, Chu Lin looked at the boy with a softer gaze.

…Forget it, this is just a little bumpkin who has never seen the world. I’m afraid he doesn’t even know how to write the word “human”. It’s understandable that he would mistake a person with hands and feet like him for a pet that needs to be fed!

Self-strategy completed. After taking a bite of the fruit fed by the little guy, a warm current suddenly surged through his body. Chu Lin couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: "… So sweet!"

Three months later.

"Little guy, why did you run out of the safe area without saying a word? I tell you, the world outside is very dangerous. Some cannibals like to eat children like you who are delicate and tender."

In the basement, Chu Lin waited anxiously for a long time. When he saw a small figure appear at the door, he immediately scolded him, even deliberately lowered his voice and threatened him.

During this period, he explored the primeval forest near the underground base, and almost understood the distribution of wild animals and plants around, and demarcated a temporary safe area. He can deal with the so-called dangers in this area.

However, the little guy in front of him was particularly keen on going deep into the territory of some large beasts and stealing their precious fruits. Sometimes, when he was in the mood, he would play tricks on them... God knows, when he first saw a huge mutant tiger as big as a hill chasing all the way out of the basement, the roar shook the entire ruins, how exciting it must have been!

In this cruel era, loss has long become the main theme of human beings. He has lost his family and friends one by one since he grew up. Not long ago, all the partners in the entire team were killed... Logically, he should be indifferent to life and death, and it is best not to place emotions on anyone. But Chu Lin couldn't do it.

Looking at the strange-shaped fruit held in the arms of the little boy, he chattered endlessly.

"Even if you have a special physique, you can't eat anything you don't recognize. Since the catastrophe, the world's environment has become increasingly harsh, and most of the plants in the wilderness have been polluted. No one knows what will happen if you eat them. Don't think you're fine now. If you eat something highly polluted one day, you'll be in trouble..."

"No." A childish voice suddenly sounded, and the clear tone was like the sound of a flowing mountain spring. Holding a strange fruit the size of a watermelon in his two little hands, the little boy raised his head without blinking. He refuted word by word, "I'll be fine, nothing can pollute me."

"???" Chu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Can you understand? No, can you speak human language? No, I mean, can you speak?"

This sudden scene made him a little confused, with confusion and joy mixed on his face, and he almost said it wrong. The next second, he accurately received the gaze from someone: ←_←.

After retracting his gaze, the boy ignored Chu Lin, raised his chin and walked around him, heading for another basement, still holding the chubby fruit in his arms. His expression was arrogant, and his steps were like not recognizing relatives. His arrogant movements looked more like some kind of small animal.

...Since he always thought that he couldn't understand, what kind of mentality did this guy have who kept mumbling every day? And what the hell is it about being able to speak human language?

...Even if he really didn't understand anything at the beginning, with his terrifying talent, he just stayed with this suspected bipedal beast for a while, and he easily learned the so-called language of the other party ( ̄▽ ̄)~*. After all, his IQ is not the same as the other party.

Chu Lin, who was mumbling, seemed to feel some kind of contempt from the condescending IQ. He shook his head and dispelled this strange illusion.

After confirming that the little guy had no congenital defects and that he could not speak human language because he was isolated from the world, Chu Lin was overjoyed and took the time to tell him more common sense.

This is a chaotic and cruel era.

Originally, the world had already entered the end of the world a thousand years ago, and the outbreak of the catastrophe accelerated this progress. At that time, the whole world was polluted by the aura of disaster, and 99% of the resources were inedible. Almost 70% of the population died in the natural disasters that came everywhere, and the remaining people also ate each other because of the lack of resources, and only half of them survived in the end.

The polluted animals and plants mutated, and some lucky people appeared among humans. They can control wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and have all kinds of incredible abilities. Some people say that this is the authority from the gods, and it does not belong to the human world. Therefore, these lucky people are also called the powerful. With the protection of the powerful, the human survivors have been able to survive the attacks of mutated animals and plants and reproduce all the way to the present.

But the situation in this world has not improved at all, but has become worse and worse. The environment is getting worse, resources are becoming scarce, there are all kinds of wild animals in the wilderness, and the surface temperature is getting higher and higher...

Over the past thousand years, humans have rebuilt three steel cities on the wasteland. They are the safest shelters in this wasteland world. But only the powerful are qualified to live in them. Other ordinary people either have to get a connection with the powerful or pay an incomparable price to get shelter.

If you are unable to enter the shelter and wander in the wilderness, you will not only be constantly worried about attacks by wild beasts, but also face the dilemma of lack of resources. You may also attract malicious covetousness from the same kind - if there are certain rules in the shelter, Human civilization has never been completely lost. So in the wilderness, whether humans or animals, they all follow the most primitive "law of the weak and the strong." The weak are made flesh and the strong are devoured.

Not to mention when you are hungry, cannibalism is not uncommon when you are at the end of your rope. Even if there is sufficient food, there are still some people who regard eating the flesh of the same kind and drinking the blood of the same kind as an unparalleled thing, as if by doing so they have transcended the human species and become some kind of more advanced creature.

The former may just be out of helpless sorrow, while the latter is the existence in the wilderness that needs to be watched out for most. They are also called "man-eaters" or "man-eating ghosts".

Speaking of this, Chu Lin's face became a little gloomy, and his tone became extremely cold for the first time.

"In order to survive, temporarily abandoning certain moral bottom lines does not violate the rules of the wasteland. But if it is just to satisfy some of your own hobbies..." He seemed to recall something, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "This is the case This guy really doesn’t deserve to be called a human anymore, he can only be called a ‘man-eating ghost’.”

Looking at the boy who was listening attentively and whose dark eyes were pure and clear, Chu Lin suddenly felt a heavy responsibility. He uttered a sentence seriously with a solemn expression:

"Living in this cruel era, we can do whatever we want, but we must exercise restraint."

"That's right, little guy. Suddenly I got a good idea. How about I help you pick a name?" The next moment, he, who had been so handsome just now, turned back to being a charlatan. He was serious and serious. Mo Qin looked at the boy who seemed to be concentrating on thinking, and said with a smile in a tone that sounded like he was trying to kidnap a lollipop, "In this era of civilizational rift, there are not many literate and educated people like me."

He picked up a piece of metal on the ground and carved two words on the wall.

——Chu Si.

There was a faint sound on the wall, and there were white scratches one after another, which were too ugly to look at. Chu Lin admired his work and showed a satisfied smile.

With limited resources, it is impossible for the two of them to stay here forever. Once I leave this paradise-like place and go to the truly cruel wilderness, I just hope that the little guy can live so wantonly.

Although he was still single, Chu Lin suddenly appeared full of fatherly love and looked at the little boy beside him with the eyes of a father looking at his son.

Facing Chu Lin's expectant gaze, the little boy slowly blinked his eyes. Under his long eyelashes, his eyes seemed to be staring at the boundless night sky.

He suddenly uttered two words: "...so ugly!"

Chu Lin: "..."

The smile on Chu Lin's face gradually solidified, and he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.

The next moment, he stretched out his paw and touched the little guy's fleshy face. He laughed triumphantly in the little guy's angry eyes.

The author has something to say: Because there was a little cute message in the previous chapter that I didn’t understand, so the author will give a brief explanation:

There were legends of immortals and gods in ancient times. Later, the immortals disappeared and entered the era of scientific and technological civilization.

In the development of scientific and technological civilization, some accidents lead to the end of the world and disasters continue.

The gray-robed leader thought he had received a revelation of destiny, obtained sacred blood from the ruins of ancient immortal gods, and cultivated a sacred body as a body. He wanted to seal the disaster in a world and save the world. However, he failed. Instead of saving the world, he brought the world one step closer to destruction. And when he failed, he realized that destruction was the inevitable fate of this world, and he unknowingly became a part of the fate, promoting the destruction of the world. Because of the failed experiment, the cataclysm broke out.

Thousands of years later, human civilization fell apart and the world became a wasteland. The container back then was completely contaminated and someone who became the incarnation of the law of disaster walked out of the ruins of the laboratory. At this time, he was like a newborn baby who didn't understand anything. I happened to meet an enlightener.

eIn fact, there are many things that the author doesn’t want to say too directly. I always feel that it would lose the flavor a bit...

Since this world is where the main plot takes place, the author writes a little slowly, trying to show how the protagonist's character is formed. He looks complicated, but is actually very pure.
