His tone was so cold that even Jiang Xiao was shocked by him and fell silent.
Next to him, Kaos' expression was even more ugly, "It seems that no one can get out of Area 99 alive now. You are just evaluating the possibility of Area 99 not endangering the main city."
Qin Zhilu did not respond, and only ordered: "Ask the garrison to send people to push down the building of the religious group's activity room."
"What?" Kaos was shocked, "Why?"
Qin Zhilu glanced at him, and Jiang Xiao immediately said: "You like to question orders. This is not a quality that a qualified soldier should have. Although you can stay in the army because of Colonel Disfu, the colonel is missing now. You better wake up."
Kaos's face turned pale and he muttered: "Tear it down... but my father cannot be a super abnormality. He has always been loyal to mankind..."
An Yu was silent all the way. He repeatedly savored the difference between District 99 and District 95 mentioned by Qin Zhilu. Finally, before approaching the small building of the religious group's activity room, he reached out and grabbed the corner of Qin Zhilu's clothes.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhilu stopped and asked in a low voice.
"Sir, do you doubt that 'Fuel' can control chaotic reactions through self-awareness?"
Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows, "You are really..."
"I'm right, right?" An Yu guessed it right, but felt his heart became heavier. He whispered: "The chaotic reaction will change the way time and space are compiled. My intuition is that its interior may indeed be able to Life and consciousness are retained for a short time, but everything will eventually be stirred up and disrupted, and all struggles are fleeting and meaningless. You are right, it is a perfect steady state, and its existence itself means destruction." An Yu said softly, "Sorry, sir, I don't think anyone can serve as 'fuel' to prevent the spread of chaotic reactions. You can't, and neither can I."
Qin Zhilu stared at him steadily, his eyes deep and unpredictable. An Yu pursed his lower lip, lowered his eyes and repeated, "I'm sorry to disappoint you..."
"This is the best." Qin Zhilu suddenly curled his lips in relief.
An Yu was stunned, "Huh?"
Qin Zhilu stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulders and whispered: "Tell Heita the truth when you go back."
An Yu hesitated, "Aren't you solely responsible for the battle report in District 99?"
Qin Zhilu shook his head, "Black Tower has become suspicious of me, and sooner or later I will question you. You can't interfere with the chaotic reaction. This is the most ideal state for you in the main city in the future."
As he spoke, he took a deep look at An Yu, raised his feet and continued walking forward, leaving only a low murmur.
"You'd better be vital to protecting humanity, but not enough to be the savior from disaster."
*
After the load-bearing points were blasted, the building collapsed into a pile of steel and rubble in an instant.
The garrison was responsible for clearing the ground. The ground 27 years ago had long been corroded and dug up. They kept digging downwards. After digging for more than two hours, they suddenly felt blocked.
"It looks like ice! It's a big piece of ice!" The soldier waved for more manpower, and in a blink of an eye, everyone pried up the last layer of the foundation.
There is a solid piece of ice buried under the foundation of the small building, which is about the same size as the bottom of the house, like a huge ice coffin. The ice coffin is filled with strange and colorful reds, and those colors slowly flow through the ice, as if they are alive. The blazing sunshine at noon shone down, and a golden halo was faintly reflected around the ice coffin.
"Human form." Qin Zhilu gently traced the edge of the ice with his fingers in the air, "This is a human-shaped ice coffin."
"This is what Colonel Disfu wanted to hide back then. It is indeed very similar to that painting. No wonder the colonel suddenly went crazy after receiving the painting." Jiang Xiao frowned and said in confusion: "But why is this thing scary? …”
The words stopped suddenly, Jiang Xiao's red eyes trembled, and he looked at the edge of the ice coffin——
The soldier who first dug it squatted down and knocked on the ice coffin without authorization. However, his knuckles fell on the ice without making any sound. In full view of everyone, the skin, flesh and bones quickly began to deform after contacting the ice. , he didn't even have time to scream, within a few seconds, it submerged into the ice like fluid and disappeared without a trace.
The soldiers all turned pale. An Yu looked up and found someone staring directly at the ice coffin, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
His heart jumped inexplicably and he shouted: "Don't look directly!"
The others turned their heads and looked over in shock, as if they were slow to react, but the man who was staring directly at the ice coffin seemed oblivious. The people around him were about to slap him on the shoulder, but they saw blood coming out of every pore on his body. When he came out, his body hit the ice straight forward and was swallowed up in an instant.
There was deathly silence all around, and the soldiers immediately looked away. Standing next to Kaos was an older officer. He covered Kaos's eyes and asked him to turn his head away, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Stop looking. , didn’t you see his fate?”
Kaos trembled stiffly, tears streaming down the man's palms, and he said in a trembling voice: "My father wouldn't have..."
"No, wasn't this just dug up?" Siena looked at him coldly, "Colonel Disf has hidden this terrible thing for twenty-seven years. In a sense, he is like the owner of this thing. . He did not die on this thing twenty-seven years ago, and he will not die now."
She stomped the snow on her boots as she spoke, "I don't know how deep this thing is and whether it is connected to the collection plant through the ground."
Kaos suddenly waved away the others and stared at her with scarlet eyes, "What are you implying?!"
"It's not a hint, it's a reasonable guess." Siena looked calm, "If it can connect to everything in Area 99 deep underground, your father must have absorbed the chaos in Area 99 through this thing."
"My father is not a super abnormality!" Kaos raised his fist and screamed, hitting Sienna directly. Next to Jena, Siena easily avoided it.
An Yu watched Siena's movements and suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. His hair stood on end, and he was driven by instinct to retreat more than ten meters!
But just before he crossed the fixed point, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on the back of his waist, as if a hand had lifted his windbreaker. At that moment, his nerves were about to explode - the owner of that hand reacted faster than him. He stood firm and saw a cold light refracted in the air. A human arm sprayed with blood and drew an arc in the air. It hit the ice coffin softly and was swallowed up in an instant.
Qin Zhilu withdrew his dagger with a stern expression, but the soldier who suddenly tried to push An Yu into the ice coffin had already fallen down stiffly, and he was swallowed up.
Kaos, who was about to raise his fist towards Siena for the second time, was stunned and said blankly: "What just happened?"
It was so fast, everything seemed like only a second or two. A soldier was mentally controlled and attacked An Yu again.
An Yu stared at the empty space where the man was standing not long ago, breathing heavily.
Qin Zhilu strode to his side, raised his hand to lift the hem of his windbreaker, and inserted the knife back into his waist.
The hand lost the protection of the glove and was very cold. It made An Yu shiver through the thin clothes. But he held An Yu's side, as if to comfort him, and An Yu miraculously calmed down a little.
"Don't worry." Qin Zhilu's voice was very calm, only these two words.
Although he inserted the knife back into An Yu's waist, he never took his hand back from An Yu's windbreaker. It looked like he was holding An Yu's side, but his fingertips never left the scabbard.
Those black eyes swept over the other people around him without any trouble - the other soldiers turned pale one by one. It wasn't until a minute or two that someone finally reacted and told everyone to step back and stay away from An Yu.
Kaos had no choice but to retreat. He stared at Siena fiercely. After a long time, he looked away, raised his hands and said, "We all have had dreams, more than once. Many of us can't remember exactly what happened." I didn’t agree to it. My lords, we’d better act separately.”
"Okay." Qin Zhilu raised his chin, "Find some construction waste materials to cover this thing again, and send someone to keep an eye on it to pay attention to safety."
"yes."
Siena sneered, "Others will go back to the station, but Kaos can stay. After all, that is Colonel Disf. Unless the people in District 99 are exhausted, he should be reluctant to take the lead with his son."
After Kaos heard this, his expression that had just calmed down became ferocious again. He suddenly pulled out his gun from his waist, loaded the bullet and pointed it at Siena, "You!"
"Okay!" His teammate stopped his gun, "Let's do it like this. You are still responsible for following a few adults and keeping in touch with the team."
Qin Zhilu had no interest in intervening in the conflict between him and Siena. After explaining, he turned and left. When he passed by, An Yu whispered: "Sir, the logic of the super abnormal body's actions is a bit strange."
The siege of the collection factory by thousands of people failed, but this time the super abnormal body only used one person to attack, and spared the remaining more than 20 soldiers. This series of operations seemed to be deliberately protecting someone in the garrison, but everyone knew that Kaos was his child. Even if he had left Kaos alone just now, Kaos would not be blamed for it.
An Yu suddenly turned around, and his golden eyes glanced at Kaos's face - the young second lieutenant's face was full of humiliation, and he was staring at Siena fiercely.
"An Yu." Qin Zhilu suddenly called him.
An Yu quickly turned around and saw Qin Zhilu pulling up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a bandage soaked with blood.
"There was so much blood in the fortune-telling room just now. It dripped through the floor to the first floor, and it hasn't completely stopped yet." Qin Zhilu looked calm, as if he was talking about eating and sleeping, "I'll find someone later." If you have a place to stay, please help me re-apply medicine and bandage."
"Ah..." An Yu was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself, "You want me to help you?"
Qin Zhilu stopped and said, "Don't want to?"
"No." An Yu shook his head blankly, "It's just that you have always dealt with wounds by yourself. Why did you suddenly..."
Qin Zhilu glanced at him expressionlessly.
"A little pain."
An Yu was even more confused.
He hurriedly turned away to cover up the confusion in his eyes, but he was inexplicably suffering inside.
After a while, he couldn't help it anymore and turned to look at Qin Zhilu again, "Are you acting like a baby?"
"Why do you think so?" Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows, but changed the subject, "Can I help?"
"Help." An Yu nodded quickly, "Help..."
Qin Zhilu snorted and then gave up. He took a few steps forward, turned around and casually walked behind him and said, "If you don't want to help, just call Kaos. He doesn't have much ability, but he can probably be a qualified orderly."
Chapter 92 Area 95 Reappears·92
Qin Zhilu is a bit abnormal. He was not as cold as usual. Kaos was concerned about his injury and Jiang Xiao asked about the details of Area 95. He answered them one by one, although most of them were simple responses of one or two words.
But for some reason, An Yu felt that the more willing he was to respond, the stronger the sense of distance became.
It's as if that person is someone who can never really be touched.
His thoughts are difficult to fathom and his decisions are unchangeable.
And he can never be redeemed.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Zhilu asked suddenly. He glanced at An Yu and said, "Are you thinking about the mission or are you worried about safety?"
Thinking of you. An Yuxin said.
Since entering District 99, most of his brain has been spent on observing Qin Zhilu.
An Yu asked in a low voice: "Back in District 95, when the super abnormality acquired your infinite chaos, did it become the core of the chaotic reaction?"
Qin Zhilu nodded, "Yes."
"So, you think that the pile of reactants before going to heat death had a will - the will of the super abnormality, right?"
Qin Zhilu paused for a moment and continued to move forward, "Be gentle when asking the commander for details of the mission."
An Yu was stunned, "What's wrong with me?"
"Stare at me with your golden eyes without blinking. If I answer yes, I feel like you will get angry immediately. If I answer no, you will continue to press questions." Qin Zhilu said lightly. He sighed and glanced at An Yu with a half-smile, "The little wolf is getting more and more arrogant."
An Yu was at a loss for a while, then looked back at the road ahead, "I didn't."
Qin Zhilu smiled and raised his hand to help him pull the collar of his shaky windbreaker.
Half of An Yu's face was huddled in the collar of his windbreaker, and he walked forward against the frost and snow. He remembered what Ling Qiu said when he told myths in the past - the universe is benevolent and always scatters crumbs to enlighten people, so the arrival of gods is often accompanied by allegorical totems or utensils.
Maybe that ice coffin is an allegory for the mysterious arrival 27 years ago.
Qin Zhilu suddenly said: "When the reactants in Area 95 expanded outward, they first engulfed the land and houses, then the low-level aberrants, and then the more complex aberrants. It makes me think that the reactants have Intelligent things, at least before they go to heat death, have thoughts. When I tried to get close to it, it deliberately avoided me. After I came back, I kept thinking about the reason. I thought maybe the super abnormal body was afraid - it knew The chaos comes from me, and if I get into that chaos, maybe my will will override it. That's the only explanation I can think of."
An Yutong's heart trembled slightly, "But this is just your guess."
"It's easy to confirm it, just walk into the reaction."
Qin Zhilu's voice was so soft that it was almost drowned by the frost and snow. He and An Yu's windbreaker skirts touched each other, as if they were whispering.
He raised his eyes and stared at An Yu, "Didn't the poet say - I am the source of disaster?"
An Yu immediately said: "He is not trustworthy."
