Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?
#2 - Chapter 2 A Deadly Lie
The middle-aged car owner trembled, his grip loosening, and his legs gave way, collapsing to the ground with a "thump."
His terrified eyes were fixed on Chen Xiu, his hands pushing against the ground as he inched backward.
The air between them seemed to freeze, both parties tacitly agreeing not to break the balance.
Finally, when the middle-aged car owner touched his car tire, he disregarded his image and shouted, "He's a Resurgent, a Resurgent!!!"
After speaking, the middle-aged car owner scrambled into the driver's seat, ignoring the solid white line on the road, and changed lanes, driving away into the distance.
As the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Chen Xiu's rapidly aging face, everyone erupted.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sounds of cars colliding rang out continuously.
"It's really...a Resurgent in a state of hunger!!!"
"Ahhh, don't push me towards the Resurgent!"
"My child, where's my child?"
The crowd on the pedestrian walkway went crazy, emitting piercing screams as they ran towards both ends of the bridge, the small children unable to dodge and being directly撞 against the railings, crying out in pain.
With a crash, the railing finally gave way, falling straight down onto Chen Xiu's back as he was about to straighten up.
"Cough..." Chen Xiu coughed lightly in pain, his dust-covered eyes slowly focusing, finally able to vaguely see what was in front of him.
He turned his head, his dim gaze falling on the palm of his hand resting on the ground.
The skin of his palm was as rough as bark, and fine, dense blood vessels bulged on the back of his hand, as if they were about to burst in the next second.
"The TV didn't say it would age this fast, it seems...I can't walk home." Chen Xiu forced a bitter smile, his dry lips cracking, and the only color in his eyes gradually faded.
Once a Resurgent's identity is exposed to the sunlight, there is only one path to take, and that is death, this is what Chen Xiu heard his teacher say.
Chen Xiu gritted his teeth and used his elbow to push away the railing pressing on his back, hunching over as he climbed onto the pedestrian walkway.
"You...don't...don't..." A child's voice filled with sobs rang out in front of Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu stopped and raised his eyes to look ahead.
It was a little girl who looked only six or seven years old, her face covered in dirt, constantly sniffling.
Her foot seemed to be sprained, and she could only sit on the ground, constantly scooting her bottom backward.
"Don't..."
"Waaah, waaaah..."
As soon as Chen Xiu said a word, the other party burst into tears like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Chen Xiu was slightly stunned, lowered his head, and walked desolately to the side, stopping a dozen meters away from the girl, leaning wearily against the railing.
He took out an old-fashioned button phone from his pocket, pursed his lips, and flipped to the "Mom" option on the phone book, hesitating for a long time before trembling and pressing the call button.
Beep...beep...beep...dong!
"Hello, son," a gentle woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Xiu put the phone to his ear and called out softly, "Mom."
"What's wrong with your voice?"
"Today was a poetry recital, and I shouted too loudly during practice, my voice is hoarse," Chen Xiu forced back his tears and replied with a forced ease.
"Can't you take care of your body? Mom only has you as family in this world, you make Mom worry, come back and eat some throat lozenges, by the way, are you getting out of school early today?"
"Uh...yes, the school seems to have Resurgents recently, I heard it's quite a big deal."
"Then go home early, be careful on the road, there's tomato scrambled eggs that Mom made for lunch in the pot, heat it up, steam some rice, and eat it together, I won't be done with my stall until twelve o'clock, go to bed early, don't wait for Mom."
"Okay, I won't wait."
"Hey, why does your tone sound so unhappy, don't you like to eat dumplings? Mom will make them for you tomorrow noon, and you can cook them yourself tomorrow night."
Chen Xiu was about to respond when a series of dull honking sounds rang out from both ends of the bridge, and several deep black jeeps blocked the entire bridge with their bodies.
A group of people wearing black combat uniforms, with a clover logo printed on the left chest, got out of the cars and lined up in neat formations.
In this era, in addition to Resurgents, there are also some people with supernatural powers. They are different from Resurgents in that they do not accelerate aging after acquiring supernatural powers, and their life flows at the same rate as normal people.
But at the same time, they do not have the ability to regenerate infinitely, in other words, they are ordinary people with supernatural powers.
Although they are much worse than Resurgents, they are the strongest means for humans to resist Resurgents. These people are named "Chosen Ones" by the Federation.
And the Federation Special Abilities Division is the home of most Chosen Ones, responsible for dealing with Resurgents in various cities and maintaining social stability.
The team in front of him was the Special Abilities Division of City 11.
"First squad assembled!"
"Second squad assembled!"
"Third squad assembled!"
A dark-skinned middle-aged man held a walkie-talkie, listening to the reports from each squad.
His name was Wang Zhongshan, and he was the leader of the Fourth Action Team of the Special Abilities Division of City 11.
At this time, a fair-skinned young man walked up to Wang Zhongshan: "Is it necessary to be so careful? Isn't he just a student?"
Wang Zhongshan glanced coldly at Gong Qi: "Most of the people in this team are not Chosen Ones. When facing Resurgents with unknown abilities and unknown restrictions, being cautious can avoid some unnecessary casualties. As the deputy leader, I hope you can also implement this concept."
"Okay, you're the boss, you're right about everything." Gong Qi chuckled: "How are we killing him this time?"
"The Federation Security and Unification Division said they need Resurgents for live experiments. If possible, we should try to押押 this Resurgent back alive."
"So many cities, they don't need this one for live experiments." Gong Qi tilted his head and muttered softly, a faint killing intent flashing in his narrow eyes.
...
"Son, why are there Special Abilities Division sirens on your side? Did you encounter that Resurgent!" Xu Yue on the other end of the phone stood up, asking nervously.
"Mom...you don't have to make dumplings for me tomorrow, I..." Chen Xiu squatted down, tears uncontrollably overflowing from his eyes.
"Don't scare Mom, what's wrong, did you encounter a Resurgent? Tell Mom, Mom will come find you!" Xu Yue's voice was already a little choked with sobs in the latter half.
Chen Xiu looked at the Special Abilities Division members in the distance: "It's too late..."
"You brat, hurry up and say it, say it!" Xu Yue shouted, straining her voice.
"...I'm on the bridge opposite our house. If you can make it in time, I want to give you one last hug."
After speaking, Chen Xiu hung up the phone and turned it off directly. He stepped on the gap in the railing and sat up, his back against the Lu River, facing dozens of black, cold gun barrels on both sides.
"I haven't eaten anyone, I haven't violated the Federation law, can you not point guns at me, I'm a little scared." Chen Xiu grabbed the railing with both hands, nervously looking around.
No one responded, everyone still maintained their original movements.
At this time, the combat personnel on the left retreated to both sides, leaving a passage, and Wang Zhongshan walked out from it with Gong Qi.
Wang Zhongshan glanced at the position where Chen Xiu's butt was, his brow furrowing slightly. At this time, half of Chen Xiu's butt was already悬空, below was the surging Lu River.
"You haven't eaten a single person?" Wang Zhongshan raised his head and looked at Chen Xiu directly.
"Yes, I haven't eaten anyone, I inexplicably became like this this afternoon, I, I...I was fine all along." Chen Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained.
"Everyone retreat, put down your guns." Wang Zhongshan raised his forearm.
Although everyone was puzzled, they still put away their guns and retreated five steps in unison.
"Although most Resurgents are cruel by nature, there are also those who have a conscience and have not committed evil deeds. If the Special Abilities Division verifies that you have indeed not killed anyone, they will use some experiments to turn you back into a normal person."
"Really?" Chen Xiu's hunched back straightened instantly.
"It's true." Wang Zhongshan stretched out his palm and hooked his hand to the side, and soon someone handed him a pair of black handcuffs and anklets.
"Your school should have普及 this kind of handcuff and anklet specially designed for Resurgents, right? Put them on yourself, verification takes time, I can't guarantee that you are not aggressive towards humans."
With that, Wang Zhongshan threw the two pairs of shackles in front of Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu looked down at the shackles, and did not move for a long time, as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong, is there a problem?" A trace of impatience flashed in Wang Zhongshan's eyes, but he concealed it well.
"I have never seen a case of放复苏者一马 on the news, are you lying to me? If I put them on, will you kill me quickly?"
Chen Xiu's eyes stared straight at Wang Zhongshan.
"If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."
Hearing this, Chen Xiu did not speak. He knew that if there really was a way to turn Resurgents back into normal people, the Federation would not fail to announce it, so the other party was lying to him.
But this person's words were also true. If he wanted to kill himself, there was no need to go to so much trouble. The only possibility was...
Chen Xiu's gaze was deep, and he looked down at the surging Lu River. Even from a distance, he could feel the surging power within.
The only possibility was that the other party was afraid that he would jump into the river, wanting to get his body to do something beneficial to certain people.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiu's eyebrows slightly curved, and he looked expectantly towards one end of the bridge:
"I can put them on, but can I wait a while to put them on? I just called my mom, she'll be here in a while, I just want to see her from afar and shout a few words, can I?"
"Both ends of the bridge are blocked, which side will your mother come from, what are her characteristics, I'll have my people let her through." Wang Zhongshan said to Chen Xiu.
"The west, her characteristics...my mom should be riding her pedal tricycle, with a cold dish sign hanging on the car, she should not have had time to take off her yellow sleeves, yes..."
"No need to say more, that's enough." Wang Zhongshan grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Did you hear what I just said clearly?"
"Understood." A voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Hearing these two words, Chen Xiu's tense嘴角 finally relaxed a little, and he turned his head to look towards the west.
...
Time passed by minute by minute, in just ten minutes, everyone's mood changed from calm to impatient to dissatisfied.
Especially Gong Qi, who was standing beside Wang Zhongshan, what kind of status did he have, why should he play a family affection game with a Resurgent?
Thinking of this, Gong Qi took off his leather black gloves, and the combat personnel behind him wanted to speak when they saw this scene, but were捂住了嘴巴 by the people next to them.
But Chen Xiu was completely unaware of this, his dry eyes staring at the west.
Finally, he saw a figure that was extremely familiar, just as Chen Xiu had predicted, Xu Yue was riding that old tricycle, passing through the jeep防线, rushing towards this side, covered in dust.
"My mom is here, she's coming this way..." Chen Xiu turned his head and was about to say something when he met Gong Qi's desolate and indifferent eyes.
He made a gun gesture with his hand, squinted his eyes, aimed at Chen Xiu's brow, and made a sound with his mouth: "Bang."
Pfft!
The sound of a bullet piercing flesh rang out in the arena.
A scarlet firework exploded in the back of Chen Xiu's head, the crystal clear blood shining brightly in the sunset...
