70

When Ye Xi walked towards them with a smile, Lianchuan pulled Ning Gu back two steps. +++ Popular novels: www.sto123.cc

Ye Xi also stopped: “Why? Don’t be afraid, I just…”

“Who are you?” Lian Chuan asked.

“You just said he was Ye Xi.” Ning Gu leaned into his ear to remind him in a whisper.

Ye Xi didn’t speak, just looked at them.

“You are not Ye Xi,” Lian Chuan said, “who can’t get out of that room, who are you.”

“The house?” Ye Xi seemed a little confused. After a while, it seemed like she suddenly realized, “Have you ever seen him?”

Lian Chuan did not answer this question and repeated it again: “Who are you.”

“I am Ye Xi,” Ye Xi thought for a while, “what should I tell you?”

“Straight,” said Ning Gu, “speaking people.”

“Call me Ye Xixi,” Ye Xi said.

“What is your relationship with Ye Xi?” Lian Chuan asked.

“The same person,” Ye Xixi turned, “but not the same person. I am a few years younger than him… Come, do you want to visit?”

“What did he say?” Ning Gu asked.

“I don’t understand.” Lianchuan said.

“You didn’t understand your IQ?” Ning Gu was surprised.

“…My IQ may not be as high as you think,” Lianchuan said, “Follow him first to see what is going on here.”

“Good.” Ning Gu nodded.

The two followed.

Four words are written on the top of the park gate, Shahu Park.

It seems that they just saw a lake named Shahu.

The entrance of Shahu Park is a wide road, which is similar to the road leading to the light thorn, but in contrast, the other roads in the main city are not so wide. After all, there is no other large road that needs to be on the road except public transportation. Communication tool.

But the road in front of them is obviously different.

Complex white (color) roads are drawn on the ground, and there are also printed words, bicycle lanes, motor vehicle lanes, courtesy of pedestrians…

“Colored lights.” Ning Gu looked at the front.

There is a horizontal strip of light above the road, and a red (colored) light is on. After a while, it is replaced by a green light next to it.

“That’s a traffic light,” Ye Xixi introduced to them. “You don’t have it there, right? Some of the main cities have it, some don’t. Look at each.”

“What is the traffic light (dry gan) for?” Ning Gu asked.

“Red lights stop, green lights go,” Ye Xixi glanced back at him. “You have to look at the lights when you drive the car. If you are at a red light, you have to stop at that line and let the pedestrians cross the road first.”

Ning Gu didn’t speak, and didn’t know if she understood or didn’t understand. Lianchuan just wanted to ask for something else. Ning Gu said: “It’s so complicated, what about cars? People? An empty city.”

“Empty City?” Ye Xixi stopped.

This action made Ning Gu a little nervous. Ye Xixi’s reaction was as if he didn’t find anyone around him at all, nor did he find that it was an empty city.

“It has been empty for a long time,” Ye Xixi sighed. “I’m used to it. Today is Sunday, and it’s normal for no one on the street, especially in this area.”

“How?” Ning Gu asked.

“This is the mutation zone,” Ye Xixi said. “It is not open now.”

“What mutation?” Lianchuan suddenly remembered the original traveler.

“Variation caused by some kind of pollution,” Ye Xixi said, “but it has been controlled. Except for this area, other areas are normal. I will show you.”

“What mutation.” Lian Chuan always cares about this.

“The dying mutation,” Ye Xixi turned to look at him. “In the beginning, he will become very powerful. He can do a lot of things without eating or drinking. His brain turns particularly fast, and he becomes very smart. learn……”

“It’s good,” Ning Gu said, adding a whisper, “The Lost Valley needs it.”

“Then quickly,” Ye Xixi turned back and went on. “It will die like a pile of mud.”

Lianchuan did not speak.

“More and more people are infected,” Ye Xixi said, “but because the cycle of onset is very short, it can be controlled.”

After the three of them did not speak, Ye Xixi took them along the road.

Ning Gu was very curious all the way. Trees, flowers, tall buildings, glass reflecting sunlight on the upper floors, billboards, many, many paintings. Lianchuan told him that from the words above, those paintings were posters of movies. He doesn’t understand the meaning very well, but these are paintings, and he wants this kind of painting.

“These,” Lian Chuan said, “Can you take them out?”

Ye Xixi looked back: “Poster?”

“Yes.” Lian Chuan said.

“Yes,” Ye Xixi walked behind the billboard and opened the light box. “Which one do you want?”

Lianchuan hesitated and reached out to pull out all the posters inside.

“I can’t take it back.” Ye Xixi smiled.

Lian Chuan glanced at him, did not speak, and handed the posters to Ning Gu.

“This is robbing or stealing.” Ning Gu held the posters and looked at them one by one, feeling very happy.

“Grab and steal again.” Lianchuan said.

Ning Gu laughed a few times and pointed to the person on the poster: “This man’s uniform and equipment are a bit like your cleaning team.”

“Huh.” Lian Chuan thought so.

“All the main cities are based on this as a template,” Ye Xixi said, “so you will see a lot of similarities, but more are still different. After all, you have to try all the roads…to know which one can’t get through.”

After Ye Xixi continued to walk for another period, it was estimated from the time that it had been gone for almost half an hour, and Lianchuan found that something was not right.

He glanced at the street sign in front. The street sign in front of the park said, Shahu East Road.

Now, the street sign in front is still Shahu East Road.

He turned around and looked behind him, making sure that they were passing by the road for the second time, although he hadn’t noticed it until now because of his novelty.

Lianchuan pulled Ning Gu and stopped.

Ye Xixi stopped afterwards and turned back, “What did you see?”

“I saw the hospital again.” Lianchuan said.

“What hospital?” Ye Xixi asked.

“At the intersection we just passed, turn left is a hospital sign,” Lianchuan said. “The second time I passed, Ankang Hospital.”

Ning Gu froze as soon as he heard it, turned and ran back to the intersection, glanced at the path that turned left, and turned his head suddenly: “Ankang Hospital.”

“I live here.” Ye Xixi said, but did not answer their questions.

“Living here?” Ning Gu looked at him. Ye Xixi didn’t look like he had any disease that needed to be hospitalized. “What hospital is this?”

“It is now a shelter for late mutants,” Ye Xixi said. “The predecessor was a mental hospital.”

Mental hospital?

Lianchuan walked a few steps to the intersection of the hospital, and when he turned back, he found that Ye Xixi was gone.

“What about people?” Ning Gu froze.

Lian Chuan looked at the path in front of her and estimated that it would be quiet even when there were people everywhere.

At the end of the path, the hospital has an obscure white (color) sign, with walls on both sides, all green (color) plants on top, and long branches hanging down from the top of the wall, like a thick blanket, except The hospital, there is no other door, this road only leads to the hospital.

“Is this man a lunatic?” Ning Gu said, “Is it really a lunatic? Or is it a fake lunatic like Uncle Mad?”

“Go and see.” Lianchuan walked into the path.

“Be careful, the two of us are no different from ordinary people in the main city now,” Ning Gu said. “I always fight like this when I’m in a ghost city. I’m afraid you won’t be able to beat others if you don’t have a special physique. It should be ordinary people here, I can protect…”

When Lianchuan grabbed Ning Gu’s hand, he hadn’t finished talking, and then his hand was twisted behind him. Lianchuan didn’t know how to turn it behind him, and pressed his finger on his throat: “Okay.”

“…What’s the good?” Ning Gu was very annoyed when he recovered.

“You protect me.” Lian Chuan said.

“I took it back,” Ning Gu said, “I won’t protect you anymore, let go!”

Lian Chuan let go.

Ning Gu rubbed his wrist: “Still learning to lie?”

“No,” Lianchuan said, “you are not prepared.”

Ning Gu gave a word without a word, rubbed his wrist, and suddenly grabbed Lianchuan’s hand.

Not guarded.

Lianchuan hadn’t even reached his fingertips, and Lianchuan had grabbed his wrist again with his backhand.

This time he didn’t twist his arm, just looked at him.

“Yes,” Ning Gu nodded, “I can’t.”

“I’m an experimental body,” Lian Chuan said. “In the human language, I’m not a person, just a weapon. Even if I don’t have a special physique, it’s much better than ordinary people (qiang).”

Ning Gu didn’t say anything. When Lianchuan let go of him and went to the hospital, he said, “You are human.”

Lianchuan turned to look at him.

“Living people.” Ning Gu said.

Lian Chuan smiled.

“What’s laughing,” Ning Gu said, “Are you funny?”

“No,” Lianchuan said, “is happy.”

“It’s hard to tell,” Ning Gu glanced at him. “It’s too obvious.”

“Laugh harder next time.” Lian Chuan said.

There was no one in the hospital.

There is a cabin at the gate, which reads the visitor registration, but it seems that no one has registered for a long time, and the table is gray.

Lianchuan opened the register on the table.

“Actually written in pen?” Ning Gu said, “Is the main city registration all swept a xia identity card?”

“Ye Xi is hospitalized here,” Lian Chuan said. “Here is his visitor registration.”

“Who came to see him?” Ning Gu immediately stepped in.

“Sun Yi,” Lian Chuan said, “The unit only wrote the research institute, not the research institute…October 7, 2030…this date…”

“Two thousand years?” Ning Gu was shocked. “What kind of world is this? Can it exist for more than two thousand years?”

Lian Chuan turned over again. According to Ye Xi, this hospital was used to receive late mutations. Is Ye Xi a late mutation or a mental patient?

Turning this register all the way to the end, Lianchuan found that there were not many people visiting this hospital. The first half of the visitor registration is already in 2029, and half of the visitors’ records are to visit Ye Xi. Yes, there are several names, but the handwriting is the same.

“Ye Xi is a lunatic,” Lian Chuan concluded, looking at Ning Gu, “but he must have a certain research department, and all the people who came to see him were research institutes, no relatives, no friends. .”

“What kind of lunatic?” Ning Gu felt a little weird.

“A few Ye Xi, after we jumped into the water, there was one in the room I entered, and there was another one just now,” Lianchuan turned and walked slowly towards the hospital building. “Will there be a third here?” ?”

The building is also very dilapidated. At first glance, there is a feeling of returning to the d zone of the main city, making Lianchuan subconsciously want to start recovering weapons.

It feels like the first floor has been abandoned. The ground is full of debris, but all the doors in the corridor are closed.

“It’s all broken like this, why are the doors closed?” Ning Gu whispered, lifting his foot and trying to kick one of the doors.

Lianchuan stopped him and pointed to the window next to it.

“…Oh.” Ning Gu responded.

The windows are closed, and the glass is still intact.

It’s just that when I see the scene inside, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

Ye Xixi said that the mutant will eventually turn into a pile of sludge.

There are several piles of such…sludge in the room.

Can see the hands, can see the mud of the head.

“Go and see.” Ning Gu turned and walked up the stairs.

“Huh.” Lianchuan glanced at the sign on the door and observed the room.

Halfway up the stairs, I heard footsteps on the second floor and people talking.

The two paused, at the same time accelerated their pace and ran up to the second floor.

The second floor is relatively tidy, there is no debris on the ground, and even plants are planted in the corridor, and purple (red) flowers are blooming.

The sound came from an open door.

When they walked to the door, they saw Ye Xi.

It’s just that Ye Xi is obviously not the same as Ye Xixi in the front. Her hair is a little messy, and her clothes are the same (colored) as the bed linen.

Ye Xi was sitting at a table with several monitors on it, a few instruments that didn’t know what was shining, and several keyboards in front of him.

A man stood behind him, watching with him the beating lines of characters on the screen in front of him, and two screens with changing pictures.

Lianchuan could clearly see the fire on both screens and the burning fire.

“It’s impossible to succeed.” Ye Xi said.

“There is still time,” the man said.

“There is no time.” Ye Xi answered, “Late.”

“Is there any other way…” the man asked.

“Yes.” Ye Xi said standing up.

While turning around, a silver (color) stick in his hand had poked into the man’s (chest xiong) mouth.

The man looked at him in shock and slowly fell to the ground.

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to the side of the door: “You are here.”

Lianchuan didn’t speak. Ye Xi’s crazy eyes made it seem to be able to poke into people’s hearts with a chill.

“No one has come to see me for a long time,” Ye Xi grabbed the man’s collar on the ground and dragged him out of the room slowly, and walked across the corridor. When, where did you come from…can’t remember…”

“Follow the past?” Ning Gu asked softly.

“Huh.” Lian Chuan responded.

The two followed behind Ye Xi and walked slowly to the door in the back of the hallway.

Ye Xi pushed open the door and dragged the man in.

The door is a big room, no tables and chairs, only a lot of shiny instruments.

In the middle of a huge glass box, the light flashed continuously.

Between the electro-optics, three brains hang.

When Lianchuan looked down at his feet, he found that the man dragged by Ye Xi disappeared.

Ye Xi stood in front of the glass box: “He is the last one.”

Lian Chuan understood at this moment that this was a memory, and Ye Xi showed them the origin of the three brains.

“They are yours…” Lianchuan said, “colleagues.”

“They are my nightmares,” Ye Xi tilted his head. “They handed over to me a task that can never be completed, an imagination that can never be realized.”

“What mission?” Lian Chuan asked.

“A space to live, a refuge,” Ye Xi said, “A world that can let us ruin fate.”

“Why do you need such a world?” Ning Gu asked. “Isn’t your world very good? There are sunshine, flowers and grass, and many faces (colors)…”

Ye Xi didn’t speak, but just looked out the door.

The two turned their heads.

Outside the door is the hallway, and the windows in the hallway can be seen.

The scene outside the window where the sun was still shining brightly and touched by the wind has disappeared, replaced by darkness, and the burning fire in the darkness.

Ning Gu ran to the hallway in shock, stood in front of the window and looked outside.

All the places that can be seen have been turned into flames, and the flashing electric light has woven a net into the sky.

“Did you see it, the endless disaster,” Ye Xi walked behind them, “but everything is caused by ourselves, how did the mutant come from, what we created, why do we need the mutant, because we don’t have enough life In the space going down, we need to find a way out…”

These words are familiar to Lianchuan. He turned his head and looked at Ye Xi: “So, you failed to do it, you didn’t find a way to live, so you created countless main cities, and the ending of each main city was destroyed, every The task of a main city is to find a way out.”

“Not a mission, but a fate.” Ye Xi said.

“Then… after trying all the roads, you will find that no one can get through.” Lianchuan said.

“We are doomed to destroy, doomed to disappear,” Ye Xi said, “how much hope we have, we can return to the depth of despair.”

“The other two Ye Xi,” Lian Chuan said, “how did they all appear?”

“Additionally?” Ye Xi said, “I am another. I am not Ye Xi. We all have our own names, but they are all called Ye Xi. There is only one Ye Xi. We have our own missions.”

Lian Chuan looked at him.

“Remember the world that no longer exists, endure all the destruction, and try to find a way of life in an endless cycle.” Ye Xi said.

“You are,” Ning Gu’s voice was hoarse. “The hand holding the horse lantern.”
