"Come on, Xiao Zhan, my room is right here, and your room is next to mine."
Under the leadership of Zhong Qiang, Zhan Jingyi arrived at a cabin near the cab on the top floor. The cabin had been cleaned up. Inside was a large bed room with an area of about 20 square meters. It was decorated just like a large bed room in a hotel. .
Zhong Qiang took Zhan Jingyi into the room and asked him to find a place to prepare it. Then he went to the cabinet on the side and took out a few bottles of liquor, then found a few sealed plastic bags and explained: "This is not our place after all. We won’t go to any restaurant, we’ll just drink here, and we’ll fall asleep as soon as we drink too much.”
As he spoke, he raised the sealed plastic bags in his hands and said with a smile: "Did you see it? There are peanuts, pork head meat, and roast chicken here. They are all meat dishes prepared in advance. Let's prepare them together."
Zhan Jingyi smiled and helped Zhong Qiang set up a small table. Zhong Qiang sat directly on the bed, while Zhan Jingyi moved a sofa and sat on the opposite side.
Zhong Qiang opened the liquor, and Zhan Jingyi took a tea cup and filled it up. Before Zhong Qiang could say anything, he drank it up quickly. Suddenly, a spicy feeling went straight to his stomach, as if a line of fire was about to ignite his chest. .
Zhong Qiang laughed and said: "How is it? It's been a long time since you drank the military's special wine, right?"
After finishing speaking, he filled up Zhan Jingyi's wine and poured himself a glass, and said: "Brother, I wasn't by your side about that incident. No matter what, it's my fault, brother. I'll do it first." Done!"
After finishing speaking, Zhong Qiang also drank a drink. After finishing the drink, he placed the cup on the table with a bang, filled another cup, raised it and said, "That time, you died like that, I know you I felt wronged and thought about avenging you, but..."
At this point, Zhong Qiang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, let's not mention it. I'm sorry for you, I did it!"
Then, he raised his neck and drank the second glass of wine. As he drank the wine, he seemed to be full of resentment.
Then, Zhong Qiang filled the tea cup again, and when he was about to speak, Zhan Jingyi blocked his hand holding the cup with one hand and said, "Old Zhong, I know you, and you know me, let's not talk nonsense all the time. , I also know what you mean, let’s not mention the past things, okay?”
Hearing Zhan Jingyi's words, Zhong Qiang hesitated, laughed, and said, "Okay, brother, come, let's have a drink together."
Zhan Jingyi smiled slightly, picked up the cup and started drinking with Zhong Qiang. The two of them drank liquor and ate appetizers while reminiscing about the time when they were soldiers together.
Then the two men laughed and cried for a while, which made outsiders look like two men who were drunk and crazy. But at this moment, they seemed to be back in the military camp. The roar of artillery fire and the shouts of nearby soldiers could be heard in the distance. The laughter made them intoxicated.
This is a kind of brotherhood that needs no words, a kind of trust and understanding that goes deep into the bones.
…
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Zhong Qiang held down Zhan Jingyi's tea cup, looked at him intently, and said, "I drank a lot. Can you tell me what happened at that time?"
"At that time, on the battlefield in the mountain city, was that mysterious man wearing a Peking Opera mask yours?"
He took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhong Qiang, then lit one himself and took a deep breath. Zhan Jingyi fell into memories, his eyes fixed on a point, his pupils began to diverge, and he entered a fugue. status.
At this moment, Zhong Qiang did not bother him, but smoked a cigarette while silently waiting for him to speak.
It wasn't until a long time later that the pupils in Zhan Jingyi's eyes began to focus again. He pressed the burned cigarette to death in the ashtray, then lit another cigarette, and then looked at Zhong Qiang.
"If I said I was really dead at that time, brother, would you believe it?"
After thinking about his words, Zhan Jingyi hesitated, looked at Zhong Qiang and said.
Hearing his words, Zhong Qiang's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He did not speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, seemed to stabilize his mind, and then said: "What you said , I believe it all!”
"hehe……"
Zhan Jingyi smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I also know that you, like everyone else, may not believe it, but you are different from others. You should know that I will not lie to you, so you force yourself Believe me."
"But I really...didn't lie to you."
Slowly recalling the situation at that moment, Zhan Jingyi said: "At that time, I was hit directly between the eyebrows by a police bullet. At that moment, I knew that I was really dead."
"But I don't know why. Maybe it was the energy coming from another dimension that made me resurrected in the morgue. When I was first resurrected, there was still a bullet hole between my eyebrows, but soon, the hole between my eyebrows Just disappeared..."
"When I walked out of the morgue, what I saw in the office outside were the bodies of Da Liu and several people. It looked as if two people who had died like me had been resurrected. Then during the fight with Da Liu, several people were killed. Individuals perished together.”
As he spoke, Zhan Jingyi's face became a little heavy: "Old Zhong, I was very scared at that time. I don't know what happened to me. Did I turn into a zombie or something? And I soon discovered that besides my skin, I seemed to have changed... Apart from being a little pale, he has all the other human physiological characteristics."
"I breathe, my heart beats, my blood flows, and I have impulses when I see a beautiful woman. All of this seems to indicate that I am still a human being, a person who has been resurrected from the dead, or a mutant."
"I was so scared at the time. After leaving the hospital, I found the Peking Opera mask. After putting it on, I felt a sense of security. But even if I met our troops at that time, I did not dare to step forward and recognize each other. , because... I'm afraid!"
Having said this, Zhan Jingyi lowered his head and hid his face in his hands. Zhong Qiang didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, then picked up the teacup and said, "Here, let's go!"
Feeling the care of his good brother, Zhan Jingyi also cheered up, touched Zhong Qiang, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The spicy white wine seemed to give him the urge to tell more, supporting him to express himself Let’s talk about it.
This is also because since he was resurrected and joined Institute 502, he has been busy doing cleanup tasks. In fact, he has experienced too much, but there has never been a suitable person for him to talk to.
And Zhong Qiang happens to be the good brother he can trust and the best person he can confide in.
…
"I saw you on the battlefield. I didn't want to meet you, because besides being afraid, I was also worried that you would regard me as a monster, and I was also afraid that people from the government would find me and send me to the autopsy table."
Having said this, Zhan Jingyi smiled bitterly and continued: "But I still underestimated the power of the government. The observation post of the 502nd Institute discovered me in the mountain city, found my previous traces, and discovered the truth about my resurrection from the dead. "
"For this reason, Ellie, the leader of the special operations team of the 502nd Institute, found me, revealed my identity, and told me what mutants are, including some secrets of the Federation and the 502nd Institute. Because some secrets are involved, I can't share it with you. Elaborate."
"But what I can tell you is that the disaster in Yamashiro was not the first time, nor will it be the last. Therefore, the work of Institute 502 and me now is to save more people, and even save the future Federation. destiny."
"To this end, I joined Institute 502, codenamed "War King". In the past few months, I have experienced a lot and seen many weird events, which also made me grow a lot."
"During this period, I was also confused. I didn't know how I came back from the dead. Moreover, I recovered some memory fragments during this period. These memory fragments seemed to be hidden deep in my mind. No. I know why I hid it, but by chance, more and more memories reminded me of some things."
"I don't seem to be from the Crescent Federation. I seemed to have lived in a small town or a castle when I was a child. I also remember that I should have a younger sister, a mother, and a father. I lived a very happy life when I was a child..."
"But suddenly, everything seemed to have changed. My father disappeared. My family and I were betrayed, captured, and sent to the laboratory in Qingshiya. My codename there was "Experimental Subject No. 1." , studied by a group of people in white coats.”
"Later, for some unknown reason, I seemed to have escaped from there, and then I was adopted and raised by my master until I became a soldier. Then what happened to my master, I chose to retire and return home, and then investigated the truth of the incident, and found out I learned about the cause of my master’s death and finally decided to take revenge until the rainy night of my death.”
"Thinking about it now, it all seemed a little too easy at the time, as if it was a designed trap, just waiting for me to enter, and I entered automatically like that stupidly. If the other-dimensional world hadn't just landed at that time, let me If I come back from the dead, then maybe I’m just a confused ghost.”
"After my resurrection, I found out that my master seemed to be the director of Qingshiya Laboratory. Even the death of my master's family seemed to be a scam. The more I learned about it, the more I felt broken."
"But fortunately, there are many people around me who care about me, like my two leaders, Aili and Li Wanting. They are both my colleagues in the 502 Institute. They have given me a lot of attention and help, which has allowed me to gradually Understand that everything we strive for is to continue the good life we have now."
"So, Lao Zhong, I think what I am doing now is very meaningful, and I will continue to do it until I die..."
Zhong Qiang, who had been listening silently, nodded to express his approval. After Zhan Jingyi's words came to an end, he raised his head, stared at him and said, "Brother, I can understand your mood. It's okay. We're going through this." As a fateful friend, your wish is also my wish, and I will definitely help you!"
At this point, he hesitated, raised the cup, touched it with Zhan Jingyi, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said: "There is something that I have been hesitating about before and couldn't make up my mind, but now I finally found the answer. "
"Brother, Institute 502 came to me before and said that they wanted me to participate in an experiment. This experiment can turn ordinary people into mutants and give them superhuman abilities. To be honest, I was tempted. After all, I am a soldier. Who doesn’t want to be stronger, but is worried because the experiment has a certain failure rate, in case..."
"hehe!"
Having said this, Zhong Qiang shook his head, as if he felt funny. After laughing a few times, he continued: "I was afraid of failure, so I have been hesitant to agree. After hearing what you just said, I don't know the future." What are the risks, but I am willing to stand side by side with you and shoulder the responsibility of guarding this peaceful life."
"So, brother, I have made up my mind. I want to participate in this mutant experiment to make myself stronger, able to keep up with your pace, become a mutant, and protect the New Moon World with you. The people and the peaceful life here.”
Hearing his words, Zhan Jingyi raised his head, his eyes full of enthusiasm. Then, his two big hands held each other tightly, as if he was witnessing all this happening.
