"I know it may be difficult for you, but I still hope you can think about it."
In what was probably Feng Di's most advanced military base, Nie Hai sat upright and pushed a bottle of medicine in front of the two of them.
"For the sake of all mankind, please."
This guy is really good at moral kidnapping.
"It's talking about human justice and saving the world. It's not the cliché third-rate movie before the disaster. Is it hypocritical to do so many nonsense?"
On the way home, I complained to Aziz about the so-called "savior". It's true, the world is already dead, and no tricks can save it.
The existing human beings are no longer the soft creatures before the disaster. They kill each other, exchange their children for food, deceive each other, and can kill a whole family for a rusty axe. The only difference between them and animals is that animals eat They can be friendly when they are full, but they think about plundering and killing all the time.
What's the point of saving these disgusting things?
Although I said and thought like this, there was still a voice in my heart telling me that Nie Hai, who built Feng Di's largest shelter brick by brick, was right.
Why do I think that?
really weird.
"You don't have to do anything." Azusa still drove the car expressionlessly, as if nothing could make her care. "Zero said that they didn't set up an emotional circuit when they made me, so I will do these things. That’s good.”
Wow, she said so much in one go.
I don’t know why, but I just nodded and didn’t answer her words.
Obviously I want to say something...
That base is really far away, four hours away from our home.
It's almost dark today.
Azusa parked the car in front of her house. As soon as I got out of the car, I smelled a strong and sweet smell.
Today it's Zero's turn to cook.
He always surprises us when he cooks.
Sometimes it was a wild goose flying south, sometimes it was an uninfected wild boar on the mountain. On the day he was cooking, there was always meat on the table.
You know, the chickens we raise can only be slaughtered after autumn.
Because the chicken pen is small, the harvested chicken is basically eaten in early spring. If there were no zeros, we would have to wait several months before we can eat the meat.
"Wow."
I walked in and saw the dishes on the table. I didn't know how to react.
"Hey." I looked at Zero, who was sitting at the dinner table waiting for us, "Are you pregnant?"
Zero rolled his eyes at me, got up and went to the kitchen to serve us food.
"No, Azusa, look."
I pointed to the dishes on the table and asked Azi, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
The porcelain basin in the middle contained golden chicken soup, and the plump chicken inside almost fell out. Next to the porcelain basin, there was a plate full of red pine shrimp tails, the kind with the shells and devein removed. .
Next to the shrimp tails are braised pig ears, which are cut into long strips and mixed with onions, vinegar, and soy sauce. It is still a full plate.
There is also the rice wine that Ling brewed last month, Azi’s favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and my favorite sweet and sour pork loin.
Is this the New Year?
After the disaster, Zero would cook these dishes only during the Chinese New Year.
"Eat it while it's hot."
With the steaming rice in front of me, I felt like my brain was becoming sluggish.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty!"
"Well, then eat more."
"You should eat too."
Looking at Ling sitting there, looking at us with a smile, I suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have eaten much in the past two days.
"Eat yours and leave me alone." Ling gave Azi a piece of meat and lifted up her hanging hair, "I'm not hungry."
Azusa seemed to be hungry, she kept her head down and was still shaking a little.
Is this due to hypoglycemia?
"You haven't eaten in days."
I picked up a chicken drumstick from the porcelain basin with chopsticks, "I won't even let you lose weight like this."
As I said that, I secretly glanced at Zero's lower abdomen with my peripheral vision. It was still so flat, and the few abdominal muscles I had seen before were probably still there.
If I had met this guy before the disaster, I might have really fallen in love with him.
Good figure, good looks, capable, and can cook.
But that was before the disaster, and now this guy is the enemy who encouraged me to kill my parents.
Although, that would be a relief for my parents...
Why should I think about this while eating?
"If I eat, I won't look good later."
He half-squinted his eyes, his dark gray eyes shining softly under the oil lamp.
"What the hell, can you speak human words?"
This looks like a pheasant brought back from the mountains. It is fat on the outside and tender on the inside. It is very fragrant after being salted.
"The climate has changed recently, and wheat can only ripen once a year."
He talked a lot today, and when he said it, his voice sounded really nice.
Like...how did you write the romance novel you found in the ruins of the library last time?
Oh yeah, like a cello.
Although I have never seen that thing before.
"I have built a new chicken pen. It is very big. From now on, you will have meat to eat every day."
So good?
"The seeder has also been maintained. There are related books on the bookshelf. Check it out if you have time."
It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a ruthless bastard.
“Always remember to check your fence regularly.”
"Try not to go out at night, and even if you go out, you should be armed."
"Don't go out alone."
This guy is so talkative today. Is menopause coming?
But if he cooks these delicious meals every time he goes through menopause, then I hope he goes through menopause every day.
"Well, the shrimps are delicious, the soup is delicious, the rice is very fragrant, and the tenderloin is very sweet." After eating so full, I leaned on the chair and gave Zero a thumbs up, "I reluctantly give you a thumbs up." One hundred percent."
Why is Zi still eating? Can she really eat in that posture?
I almost buried my head in the bowl.
"call--"
When people are full, they will have random thoughts.
I'll think about unappetizing things.
For example, the scrawny children in that shelter, the group of old people kneeling in front of the shelter begging to be taken in, or the wheat fields that were so polluted that they turned black.
For example, that song, the female scientist who almost died suddenly, or us eating meat here.
My father taught me since I was a child not to force myself and to see my own worth.
And I have been an obedient child since I was a child.
But my father died, and I pulled the trigger myself.
I'm pretty sure that at the moment he died, his expression was one of relief.
I grew up.
Maybe, and I mean maybe, it's time for me to take some responsibility.
"Why are you so lazy?"
Zero, who had finished washing the dishes, took a rag and wiped the table in front of me.
I looked at the back of his neck that would never darken no matter how much the sun basks in it, and I suddenly thought.
That bottle of potion is in Zi's pocket, right?
"What do you think you will do in the future?" Zero looked at me, smiled helplessly, reached out and pinched my eyebrows, "Little madman."
"Tsk."
I shook his hand away, "I'm so annoyed!"
You can harass me when you have nothing to do. Are you thinking about something here if you don't see it?
By the way, Azusa, you've been eating your bowl of rice for almost half an hour. If we can't finish it, don't eat it, okay?
"Ah, right."
Zero finally finished cleaning the kitchen. He came out, sat down, and threw me a small object.
"I found it in your hometown. Is that you on it?"
One, a small pendant.
Bronze color, iron chain, and spring are a bit rusty, and a slightly harsh noise can be heard when opening.
There is a family of three inside, father, mother and me.
I was still very young at that time, my father was still starting a business, and my family had little money.
This thing was bought from a passing vendor when my father took our family of three to play in the park next door.
It's quite expensive, only twenty yuan.
I looked at the little kid in the photo who smiled like a fool and felt a little disgusted.
Why was I so ugly when I was a child?
Look at the two people next to this little bastard. The boy is handsome and the girl is pretty. Why do they look like this?
"How...ahem, how do you know where my hometown is?"
I didn't cry, I just choked.
"You said it yourself last time when you were drunk."
"Yeah...what else did I say?"
I quietly wiped away the tears that had flowed from the sand, "I didn't say anything else, did I?"
"No, I just said I wanted this photo."
"Well...that's good." I put the pendant away and carefully put it in my pocket, "How is my hometown?"
"It's okay, just like everywhere else."
"Is that rockery still there?"
"Yes."
"Have you found the safe behind the oil painting in our house?"
"without."
"Hehe." I twitched my eyebrows at him and pointed at myself, "I'm sorry you can't find the idea I'm thinking of, auntie."
"...Song Yi."
"what?"
"are you happy?"
"Well...that's it." I thought of the mother I saw in the photo just now. If I think about it carefully, I almost forgot what she looked like, "I'm quite happy."
"Yeah...just be happy."
He suddenly laughed, the kind of hearty laugh I had never seen before.
"Just be happy."
When Azi heard his laughter, she suddenly raised her head, revealing the face that had been hidden all this time.
I was stunned.
"Liar! Liar! Liar!"
I gave up my defense and used my knife to tear off a piece of her flesh, letting her sword slash at me.
He smiled and stretched his hand to his chest.
"Why didn't you stop him! Why!"
His white arms were stained red with blood. At the end, he chuckled and pulled out his heart without any hesitation.
"Wasn't he the one who rescued you? Wasn't he the one who broke into that place full of monsters and rescued you?"
The Wuxin woman stood up calmly, hugged him, and caught his heart.
"You obviously knew it a long time ago, why didn't you tell me! Why!"
Only she could hear his last whisper, but it was too late, too late.
"You lied to me, you lied to everyone."
"I hate you."
Everything happened so fast that day.
I couldn't understand what was happening, so I could only sit there blankly, watching Zi put his heart into the glass jar, watching Zi carry his gradually cold body into the coffin that had been prepared, and watching Azusa carried out the processes that had been planned in an orderly manner.
Calm Azusa, ruthless Azusa, careless Azusa, who doesn't care about anything, is an out-and-out monster.
fraud.
"You are nothing, nothing."
I let the sword hit me, I picked up the scythe and slashed at her with all my strength.
why?
He is obviously gentler than anyone else.
Obviously I care more than anyone else.
Obviously I look forward to it more than anyone else.
You are not a heartless monster. You are just a member of my family who has an awkward personality and is not very lovable.
So, if you want to cry, just hold me and cry openly.
Obviously you cry more sadly than anyone else, right?
