"How could someone like you die so easily? If you hadn't died, according to your habits, where would you be now?" Leng Ruyue said to herself softly, as if thinking of something, she stood up and scanned the restaurant. Then he smiled.
"You still have some brains." Chu Xiang said expressionlessly.
Leng Ruyue smiled proudly, her pale face looking a little distressing, but Chu Xiang didn't even look at her, and he didn't even mean to feel distressed.
"waiter."
"Hello." The waiter came over.
"Arrange her to go to the hospital for surgery." Chu Xiang said to the waiter.
"Okay, sir." The waiter's attitude became more respectful. After all, those who can afford to go to the hospital for surgery are not poor people.
"I want her to recover as quickly as possible." Chu Xiang said.
"As you wish." The waiter was more respectful and took out the information reader: "Please verify your identity."
After swiping his fingerprint on the information reader, the waiter looked at the displayed information and said respectfully: "Wait a moment, we will make arrangements immediately."
Leng Ruyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Chu Xiang would call an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Only then did she really confirm Chu Xiang's attitude towards her. She sat down opposite Chu Xiang and asked the waiter to bring the things from No. 14, and then He glared at Chu Xiang and said, "Do you think this kind of game is interesting?"
Chu Xiang looked at Leng Ruyue expressionlessly and said: "Out of 100 points, your score is 50 points. Calmness, thinking, judgment, and action, none of them satisfy me. I don't mind getting rid of the waste."
Leng Ruyue opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but looking at Chu Xiang's emotionless eyes, she knew that it was far from what he wanted. She swallowed what she wanted to say and lost the courage to refute, so she whispered: "Excuse me."
While the two were talking, the handsome man who helped Leng Ruyue buy medicine came back and found that Leng Ruyue was no longer there. He glanced at the restaurant and found Leng Ruyue sitting upright facing Chu Xiang. She raised her eyebrows and walked over.
"Beauty, what you want." The handsome man glanced at Chu Xiang and handed the thing to Leng Ruyue.
"No, thank you." Leng Ruyue said in a stiff tone. She was a little angry, not at Chu Xiang, but at herself.
"Your wound needs to be treated. If it becomes infected, it will be a big problem." The handsome man said with a gentle tone and put the medicine on the table.
Leng Ruyue glanced at the handsome man and said nothing.
"Hello, sir, the ambulance has arrived." At this time, the waiter next to him said respectfully to Chu Xiang.
Hearing the waiter's words, the handsome man looked at Chu Xiang in surprise. There were more than three million people in Wucheng, but not many could afford an ambulance.
"Go." Chu Xiang said.
"Yes." Leng Ruyue nodded obediently and followed the waiter out.
"Girl, please come this way." The waiter led the way in a flattering manner.
The ambulance stopped at the door of the restaurant. Leng Ruyue got in the car and left without looking at the handsome man.
After sending Leng Ruyue to the car, the waiter returned to the restaurant and said to Chu Xiang: "Sir, the arrangements have been made. The hospital will contact you later."
"Okay, please." Chu Xiang nodded.
"It's my honor to serve you." The waiter bowed.
The handsome man was surprised by the waiter's respectful attitude. After the waiter left, the handsome man said to Chu Xiang, "Can I sit down?"
"No." Chu Xiang said without hesitation.
"That's such a pity." The handsome man smiled bitterly and said. He was not angry because of being rejected. He was very well-controlled.
Chu Xiang stopped talking and lowered his head to eat. The handsome man left without any further entanglement.
After sitting for a while, Leng Ruyue's diagnosis and treatment report was sent over. Chu Xiang looked at it and conservatively estimated that it would take three days to regain combat effectiveness. His brows suddenly furrowed.
Three days, it seemed like a very long three days. He finally found something to do, and now he had nothing to do. This made Chu Xiang feel very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of how to spend these three days.
Having no goal and not knowing what to do is a very scary thing, just like missing a step and falling off a cliff. Before this, Chu Xiang had never felt like this. He was always busy looking for his brother, looking for his brother's murderer, looking for his sister, and looking for his brother-in-law. Now that he has finished all these things, there is no need to continue running. The goal is empty in my heart, like an engine that has run out of oil and can no longer start.
In this world after great changes, stopping means death, and only those who want to die do nothing. For most people, food and clothing is a big problem, but for Chu Xiang, there is no such problem. With his strength, he no longer has to worry about this problem. There are very few people in this world who can threaten him. , so he can occasionally stop and look at this cruel world. If he couldn't stop, he wouldn't have this feeling of emptiness.
"Probably, this is called loneliness." Chu Xiang sighed, ate all the food on the table, asked the waiter to arrange a room, and fell asleep with his head covered.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Chu Xiang couldn't sleep, so he had to get up, have breakfast in the restaurant, daze for a while, and finally decided to take a walk on the street.
At five or six in the morning, it's just dawn. There are already a lot of people on the street, and most of the shops are open for business. In a little while, it will be the peak period for mutant beasts to look for food. People who have no money and no food leftover must prepare early. Go out hunting.
The daily consumption of millions of people is a huge amount. Only a small number of people can not worry about food and drink. If they want to survive, they have to go out and fight wild beasts every day to get food to survive. But not everyone has the ability to go out on their own. prey. In order to ensure the supply of food, the military government will formulate various action plans for going out to obtain food every day. Those who are relatively weak and cannot go out to hunt on their own strength can sign up after passing the military test. When participating in various hunting operations, the army will ensure food supply during the operation, and there will be corresponding rewards after the operation plan is completed.
Going out to hunt by yourself and participating in military operations are not the only options. Among these millions of people, a large proportion of people have formed various gang alliances. The leaders of these gangs will also organize members to obtain food. Their situation is better than that of the stragglers. Among the more famous gangs are Shanke Alliance, Baishan Alliance, Tianshan Alliance, Beijing-Tianjin Alliance, Grassland Alliance, Buddha Respecting Association, as well as Southern Shaolin, Northern Shaolin, Wudang, Nanhua Temple, Tai Chi Sect, Bagua Sect, Xingyi Alliance and other factions. The people who form gangs are generally of relatively high strength. In addition, there are masters in the gangs who teach martial arts, and their combat effectiveness is generally strong. In addition to fighting for territory, they will often organize members to go out hunting to ensure the food supply of gang members and at the same time exercise the members' combat skills. force, allowing gang members to play their respective roles.
As the largest city in the south and the most populous city in the country in winter, under the pressure of food, the situation in Wucheng is complicated, with undercurrents rising and falling, and killings happening everywhere. Fortunately, under the strong suppression of the military government, the city has It's relatively calm here, at least they don't dare to kill openly. If they really have deep hatred and can't get off the stage, then they will get off the stage, sign life and death certificates, decide the outcome in one battle, and regain their position. As for secretly How to fight is another matter.
With the development and improvement of Wucheng, the life-and-death situation and the ring solution method have become more and more popular, and the military government has also acquiesced in this solution method. When the matter gets serious, basically all gangs will solve it in this way. After all, the elite troops A fight outside the city would do no good to either side and would only allow others to reap the benefits. Personal grudges are even simpler. As long as there is a patrol witness, a life-and-death contest can be held on the spot.
In two years, Wucheng has gradually developed and improved, and the military government's management methods have gradually matured. Unlike before the great changes, the rules and laws were plastered all over the streets. Various special professions have emerged in droves, and everyone can Find your place in this chaotic world.
The battles that appear in the open will be resolved in the arena, but some shady things still have to be carried out secretly. Therefore, the profession of killer flourishes, and the profession of bounty hunter also prospers. Killer is not a profession recognized by the military government, but bounty hunting is a legitimate profession. The military government will publish the information of all wanted criminals on the official website. After the bounty hunter captures or kills the wanted criminal, he can go to the military with valid evidence. Government management offices receive rewards.
Wucheng is very big, so big that it is beyond Chu Xiang's imagination. Chu Xiang doesn't spend much time in Wucheng. He only comes to Wucheng occasionally in the past six months. He usually eats and sleeps at the mobile station near the city gate, and then leaves. Well, I have never really visited Wucheng at all.
In the brightly lit streets, in addition to the dazzling products in the shops, there are also many people setting up stalls on the roadside selling various things, bargaining and bustling everywhere. The streets are bustling with people of all kinds. There are mutants who cover themselves up, and there are mutants who directly expose their mutations. Half of the survivors are affected by radiation, and have various strange mutant tumors growing on their bodies. Some It's disgusting to look at.
Chu Xiang walked around for less than five minutes when he encountered two patrol teams with live ammunition passing by. The patrol density was extremely high, but it is obvious when you think about it. There are more than ten or two hundred thousand troops stationed in the city, and some of them are out hunting. Some are responsible for external security, and the rest who have nothing to do have to patrol constantly, consume their energy, and at the same time deter those restless people to ensure the safety and prosperity of Wucheng.
After walking for several streets, Chu Xiang didn't see anything interesting or anyone interesting. After all, there are so many people hunting for goods every day, so how can any good things be left behind? People in those gangs are also looking for good seedlings and people with potential to absorb into their own gangs, hoping to find someone like Leng Ruyue It’s not easy to have potential like that.
From time to time there were people with knives and guns, and groups of people headed towards the city gate. There were also many idle people like Chu Xiang wandering around casually, looking left and right to see if there was anything worth buying.
When he walked to the top of the mountain, Chu Xiang finally saw an interesting person, an old man with gray hair and a stooped figure. The old man was setting up a stall, and what he was selling was very interesting, a stack of blueprints. There are not many old people in this world who can survive to this day, and even fewer who survive by setting up stalls and selling these strange things.
The old man huddled against the wall, with the drawings in front of him pressed down with stones. No one stopped in front of him. His eyes were staring blankly at the white snow at the foot of the mountain. His confused eyes may no longer be in this world.
Chu Xiang knelt down, picked up the blueprint pressed by the stone, and looked at it. It turned out to be something very interesting.
"Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan." Chu Xiang called three times before the old man came back to his senses. The last signature on the drawing was Duan Meng, which should be the old man's name.
"Oh." The old man's blurred eyes returned to clarity, and he turned to look at Chu Xiang.
"How do you sell these things?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Can you understand?" Old Man Duan rubbed his forehead fiercely.
"Half and half," Chu Xiang said.
"Then forget it." Duan Meng waved his hand nonchalantly.
"If I could understand everything, why would I buy it? I could just leave after reading it," Chu Xiang said.
"That's true." Duan Meng smiled awkwardly and said.
"Some time ago, I saw the situation you described above in a place." Chu Xiang said.
"Oh! Where is it?" Duan Meng's eyes lit up, "Tell me and have a look."
Chu Xiang took out his mobile phone, opened a picture, and showed it to Duan Meng.
Duan Meng took the phone and zoomed in to the maximum. He looked at it carefully for five minutes before raising his head and saying, "Yes, that's it."
"I don't understand your theory a little bit, what is the reason for this situation." Chu Xiang said.
"To give a simple example, it's like the hole in the ozone layer in Antarctica. There was no such hole originally, but due to interference from various reasons, the ozone layer was destroyed, so a hole appeared. In the same way, the space of the earth was originally stable and uniform. Yes, but due to the impact of nuclear war, the surface space of the earth is no longer uniform and stable, so things like holes exist." Duan Meng said.
"But what is this thing that affects the stability and uniformity of space?" Chu Xiang asked.
"entropy."
