Doomsday Wonderland

In the end, it was Lin Sanjiu who poked the face a few times with her [robot hand] and hooked it through the gap. Then Apu's head and face rolled out of the window and hit the ground with a "snap".

For a few seconds, even the few evolvers who had been muttering and repeating "Ordinary people have mutated, ordinary people have mutated" fell silent; someone lit up a lighting object and drove away the city road. It was dim, surrounded by layers of people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the illuminated person.

If the skin texture, blood veins, and hair weren't all still human, it would look like a rubber hood.

Lin Sanjiu turned the head over. From the bottom of the back of the head, before reaching the neck, something opened an irregular crack on the edge. The torn human skin did not have any trace of blood, and was soft and thin, as if the juice had been sucked dry. .

As for the inside, there was nothing left except a few broken bones that barely supported the shape of a human head.

"It's true, they really-"

The female evolutionist who just said that ordinary people have mutated was interrupted by Batou De's angry shout at the beginning of her sentence.

"Don't say irresponsible things!" He was really angry, and his broad face turned slightly red. "What do you mean that ordinary people have mutated? They live in the highlands and are not exposed to the haze. I ask you how they mutated. ?Why the mutation? Besides, take a look, does this look like a fallen species?"

He was well-known in Fanjia City and was enthusiastic and responsible, so everyone murmured and quieted down, allowing his voice to stir in the city streets. "The situation is obvious. Apu is clearly a victim. His body and brain were eaten away by something, and he became like this. Is there something that mutated to kill and eat him first? Instead of just yelling and saying unfounded things here, why not look for the things that are hunting us in Fanjia City!"

Lin Sanjiu straightened up and looked back, only to find that the audience of Badou De was divided into two distinct camps: three or five evolutionaries, standing alone on one side; on the other side were dozens of ordinary people, tightly packed together. gather together.

"Yes, who said we have mutated?" A middle-aged woman said with annoyance. She stretched out an arm, rolled up her sleeves, and patted the skin twice: "How can I not be a human being? Look, Look, what's the problem? You evolvers should protect Fanjia City and shouldn't do this to us..."

"There are many ways of mutation," Zhong Qing suddenly said, "If nothing else, shedding of skin is also a normal phenomenon for snakes."

The glare that Badou De glared at him could almost pierce him several times.

"I'm sorry, I'm just an outsider who came to Wandering in the Clouds for the first time," Zhong Qing shook his head and said, "I have no responsibility for your Fanjia City, and I haven't enjoyed the benefits of Fanjia City. I'm just telling the truth. Is it ordinary? It doesn't make any difference to me if someone has a problem, but I have to be clear about it in order to protect myself."

"We have no problems and no mutations,"

Another ordinary person spoke, an older man with a beard. His words were not addressed to Zhong Qing, but to another evolver living in Fanjia City. "You needed to build a wall at home last month, and I found someone to do it for you. We had a drink together afterwards, and you lost two fog balls to me while playing cards. Have you forgotten? It's better now, I It mutated. Did I start mutating after playing the cards, or did I mutate while playing?"

The male evolutionist with long dreadlocks was embarrassed and didn't want to raise his eyes. He just whispered: "I know you haven't mutated, and I'm not saying you..."

Batou De seemed to have caught what he had been looking for and immediately said: "From all aspects of the situation now, ordinary people are the victims. How can it make sense to call the missing or dead people themselves the murderers? We usually live together and cooperate with each other, and no one can be missing the other. Without them, let alone maintenance and construction, it would be difficult for us to drink water and eat; without us and our abilities, ordinary people would not be able to resist the fallen species, and it would be difficult for them to do anything. There is no such thing as life in the mountains. We are one, and if something goes wrong, how can we start with our own people first?"

What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and he was worthy of being in this profession. His tone was sincere and his words were sincere. As expected, everyone was quickly persuaded and appeased, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while.

"I, I can't believe they are really mutated..." The female evolver just now changed her words in embarrassment. “There’s been a lot of gossip lately, well, I don’t know who to believe.”

"Of course not," the middle-aged woman said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, go to my place for a meal and see if the mutated thing can cook as good as me."

The female evolver was even more embarrassed, and smiled and said "Okay" - Lin Sanjiu glanced around everyone, but noticed that the old man with a beard just touched the middle-aged woman's arm. I glanced at him twice, as if he was a little confused.

The middle-aged woman also felt his gaze and looked back at him in confusion; the bearded uncle came back to his senses and smiled at her.

"Everyone, take a rest first. We obviously have something hunting humans here," Batou De said. He glanced at Zhong Qing in warning before continuing: "Let the evolvers handle this matter. If If you are not sure about your personal safety, you can also find an evolved person to accompany you first."

"It would be great if a system could be arranged," the bearded uncle was not slow in thinking and was immediately inspired: "For example, let's say an evolver is paired with two or three ordinary people. In this way, both parties can be supervised and protected. Don't worry..."

"This is a good idea. We can discuss it on the radio tomorrow." Seeing that the situation did not escalate, Batou De was obviously relieved and said, "Now you can go back and rest."

When everyone dispersed, they were still discussing in small groups in small groups; Batou De frowned in thought alone and stood still for a moment. The bearded uncle didn't leave, as if he was waiting for a chance to have a few words with Batou De alone. After everyone had dispersed, he coughed and cleared his throat.

Badou De glanced at him. "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little worried that today's incident will spread." The bearded uncle glanced at the ground - Apu's head had been put into the bag by Batou De, and the ground was empty. "I have always believed that honesty is the best policy, and the truth is the best defense against rumors. If we let everyone spread it by word of mouth, no one knows what will happen. You have done a lot for Fanjia City, and everyone believes in you... ...Can you please tell the incident completely on the show tomorrow? It will reassure everyone."

Although he is an ordinary person, his knowledge is not bad; Batou De listened to it and nodded repeatedly. The two discussed a few details and the matter was settled.

When the uncle left, Badou De's eyebrows and eyes were filled with sadness. After he blocked "Hawaii" with a rope to prevent anyone from approaching, he called Lin Sanjiu and Zhong Qing and said, "Let's go to the other side of the wall to see if there are any clues. We still don't know what the family next door is suffering from." It has no impact, and they can’t hear anything.”

He was obviously not satisfied with Zhong Qing. On the way there, he ordered the latter several times to stop talking nonsense: "You can tell me in private about your unfounded speculations. Why is it necessary to do it in front of ordinary people?" explain?"

As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to resist the anxiety and pressure in his heart. He suddenly exhaled and wiped his face vigorously.

"You may not understand what it means to me...but I hope you can pay attention to it for my sake."

Zhong Qing nodded silently.

It seems that Batou De is really wholeheartedly maintaining Fanjia City - in the apocalyptic world, this is really a rare and strange mentality; no matter how well maintained, people will be transported fourteen months later After leaving, even if you can get a visa to wander in the clouds, who knows if you can still use it alive? What's the point of maintaining it?

Or is he, like himself, able to feel alive only when he is with his partners? Lin Sanjiu thought to herself that if she was lucky enough to pick up all her friends on Exodus, she would definitely be like Badou De, worrying about everyone's affairs every day.

She really wished she had the opportunity to worry like this.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she would ever see that day again in her life: everyone would live together on a spaceship, talk and laugh, play cards, quarrel, and vote to decide the next destination... It was almost her most distant dream that was unlikely to be realized. .

When her dream was still a dream, she was willing to help Badou De so that he could continue to chat, drink and make broadcasts with his friends and companions in Fanjia City, which he belonged to. Chewing gum handed to me by passers-by.

Many of the people who had gathered near Apu's house and then dispersed lived on both sides of this section of the city road. As the group of three people walked along the city road, they also saw several people who had just appeared. Familiar faces, who are still unable to sleep at this moment, let Batou De receive a lot of greetings along the way.

The middle-aged woman was standing next to a shelf stacked with sundries, talking to several neighbors. When several people walked by, Lin Sanjiu thought of her previous glance; she couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman's arm like the bearded uncle.

What did the bearded uncle see? Now it looks like her arms wrapped in gray sleeves are normal, UU Reading www.uukanshu． NET also moves left and right as he speaks, which is not confusing.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Sanjiu walked over; he happened to see the male evolver with dreadlocks talking quietly to another person. His house seemed to have a special object - an iron-green barrel - which was crowded on one side of the city road. When he saw Lin Sanjiu and his group, he immediately stopped talking, nodded and said hello.

Lin Sanjiu heard clearly. His last interrupted sentence was, "How long has it been since the Fallen Seeds came up in Fanjia City..." She didn't know what he was going to say in the second half of the sentence. She just paid attention. At one point.

Those who chat with dreadlocks are also evolutionaries. The people talking to middle-aged women are ordinary people.

She discovered it, and Badou De must have discovered it too: at this time, there was no evolver talking to an ordinary person on this section of the city road.

Batou De looked solemn and didn't say a word. He continued to lead the two of them forward. Ahead is the break in the ceiling; a ladder is usually connected under the break to make it easier for ordinary people to get up and down. When they were about to climb up the ladder, someone in the city road whispered "Ah".

This "ah" sound was very subtle, but somehow it made the three people stop suddenly.

It was neither frightened nor excited, but rather a sound that subconsciously slipped out of the throat when seeing something incomprehensible - just like the bewildered look of the bearded uncle.

When Lin Sanjiu turned her head, she happened to see the middle-aged woman standing under the wall on the left stretch out her hand, as if she was tired from standing and looking for support to lean on. Her arm naturally crossed the ten-meter-wide city wall. Dao, leaning against the wall on the right.

The evolutionary man sitting under the wall on the right was combing his hair. He looked up at the arm above him and the comb fell from his hand.
