"Yes, it has been destroyed many times." No. 17 took over the child's words, "No matter how powerful the big willow tree is, no matter how miraculous, no matter how invincible, but—"
"After all, it is still a living thing, and it still has a body. Although this body is very powerful and its vitality is almost unmatched, one nuclear bomb and two nuclear bombs can't damage its root at all. But, what if there are tens of hundreds, or even thousands of them? "
"Use relatively small nuclear weapons to cleanse these three provinces over and over again. As long as we have the confidence to destroy the entire willow tree even if we dig eighty feet into the ground, we can actually give it a go."
"I don't believe in the nuclear prohibition declarations that the government brags all day long. China is a big country, and if it is a big country, it should have a lot of nuclear weapons or semi-finished nuclear reactors."
"And it's been four years. Even if those guys in the government are vegetarians, they should be able to produce a lot of lethal things. After all, many things can't be used now, and human beings don't have many cards. According to human beings, they would rather I think many hawks would rather destroy this world than hand it over to other species. In this way, these heavy weapons should not be lacking—especially After receiving news from Wuhan a few months ago."
"So, you said you wanted to run away, and we don't have to follow Li Qingshui's arrangement." No. 17 said, "But what happens after you run away? When the willow trees cover the whole of China, I don't think even nuclear purges will be useful." .Because the area is too large, it directly affects the global ecology. If we do that kind of thing, we will be completely destroyed by the earth's ecosystem—we will destroy it and ourselves.”
"At that time, we will have no chance at all." Number 17 looked at the amphibious man who spoke, "Or, you want to hide for ten or eight years, and then be eaten by willows, and see what's going on in his mind What kind of world?"
The amphibian was silent for a while.
"Actually, I really want to know what kind of world is in the mind of the big willow tree." No. 17 saw that the amphibious man didn't speak, and spread his hands, "but I'm going to die if I look at it, so I just think about it."
"The next thing, I don't think there is any debate about whether I want to control the high-level affairs in Beijing." On the 17th, he made a concluding speech, "Then let's move on to the next topic, how do we control the high-level Beijing..."
"According to the forces we now control, the invisibility of the amphibians and..."
Number Seventeen was talking when a figure opened the door and entered the meeting room, interrupting his voice.
"Uh, the little girl is awake." said the young man who entered the door.
"Are you awake? No. 7, go and hypnotize her, let's continue..." No. 17 pointed to a child under him, and the child got the order without any dissatisfaction. He wanted to go out when he got up, but he went in The young man spoke again: "Boss, I think the situation is a little different this time. The girl frightened and said something about a super life? She said that there seemed to be a super scary thing coming to Beijing, or in other words, It’s almost entering Beijing City.”
"what?"
"I don't know. The little girl didn't know whether she was confused by the continuous hypnosis or something. She kept pointing to the south, saying that more than 3,700 terrifying lives are coming."
"More than 3,700?" Hearing this number, everyone sitting there stood up in shock—even Liu, who had been silent all this time, stood up all at once, and then because of his height, his head fell. His body pierced through the ceiling of the conference room, and his body reached the second floor.
"Are you sure she said more than 3,700, not more than 370?" Number 17 looked at the young man.
"Yes, it must be more than 3,700. I have said it many times, and it sounds good."
"Who hypnotized Xiao Jing last time?" Number Seventeen stood up.
"I." No. 8 said, "I hypnotized, and it didn't hurt her spirit. I used a very mild hypnosis method."
Number Eight looked serious.
"That means she can't lie?"
"Won't."
"Then more than 3,700?" Number 17 looked to the south, "Is it a sea monster?"
Beijing.
Daxing District.
south of the city.
Li Qingshui walked into this chaotic place dressed in new clothes. The past few days of driving still made this person look spotless. The first time he entered this crowded place, he immediately showed an expression of interest.
"There are still a lot of human beings." Li Qingshui watched while walking, "Containment area, hehe, human beings really know how to find a way."
Li Qingshui's relaxed expression and the bright clothes on his body were a bit out of tune with the surrounding environment, but for some unknown reason, everyone turned a blind eye to him, and did not pay attention to this maverick at all— It was as if he was one of them in the first place, and everyone saw him every day, and they could see the cocoons in their eyes, and they didn't even bother to look at him.
And he just wandered around the city so relaxedly, didn't talk to anyone, didn't hurt anyone, just walked all the way, looking here and there.
And about seven or eight kilometers away from him, after Liu Chang and the others discussed for a long time but their plan for Li Qingshui failed, they bid farewell to Shen Mingyi.
"Let's go." Liu Chang patted Shen Mingyi on the shoulder, "Thank you for helping me find a companion."
"You're welcome, it's easy." Shen Mingyi also looked at the growing team behind Liu Chang, and asked, "Then what's your next step?"
"Let's go to the old city. After all, it's too dilapidated and there are no high-level government officials. We plan to go to the old city to have a look. Although there are threats of extorting them now, if we want to do something and know some really important information, we still need to go to the old city." I have to go to the old town in the city center." Liu Chang said, "How about you, come with us?"
Hearing Liu Chang's invitation, Shen Ming took a look at him, and after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, he sighed hesitantly.
"I still don't want to go." Shen Mingyi's tone was very vicissitudes, "I don't want to take risks anymore, um, although I know that this is the biggest adventure. But I really don't want to move anymore. I have food, drink and food here. Women, and it’s fun to be in front of the boss, and I don’t have the heart to run around. Although if the big willow tree comes, it may destroy this place first, but I have friends like you after all. So, I hope you get any news about this place, If you can find someone to notify me, then I can run away."
"Hey, brother, don't laugh at me, I am." Shen Mingyi sighed heavily again, "That's it, live a day less than two hours, happy day is a day, your vendettas and other big things, all of you Don't mind my business, I just want to have a good time here - to make some good memories for myself."
"Haha, a good choice." Liu Chang patted him on the shoulder heartily, "I think the same as I do—if Xiao Jing isn't taken away."
"Then that's the case?" Shen Mingyi gave Liu Chang a hug.
"Then take my leave." Liu Chang also gave him a hug.
Then the two men who could be said to be decadent, and even more optimistic, bid farewell. Liu Chang walked back to his tent with the group of people closest to him, following the rays of the sun that were gradually setting down the mountain, and the light that was dyed brightly by the red mist.
As soon as Shen Ming looked at their leaving backs, he didn't know whether it was because of reluctance or other reasons, but he stood at the door of his second-floor villa and did not leave for a long time. In the end, I simply asked someone to move a deck chair, and lay here with my eyes closed, enjoying the afternoon sun.
Just when he was at his happiest and warmest, a figure blocked his light that had been almost stripped away by the fog.
"Who?" It was the first time that someone walked up to him and didn't notice it—according to his senses.
Feeling that the light was blocked in the haze, when he opened his eyes at first because of the backlight, he saw a dark figure—in astonishment, he bounced up a few meters from the recliner, and after distanced himself from the dark shadow, Shen Mingyi focused his eyes again He looked at the black shadow.
His pupils focused, his retinas gradually adapted to the dim light in front of the visitor, and then his facial features were presented.
Ordinary appearance, tall nose, slender eyes, and the signature glasses above the bridge of the nose and eyes.
"Uh..." Seeing this person's attire and appearance, Shen Ming was dumbfounded, and just about to call out the word "Li" for "Mr. Li", but the other party preempted him.
"Variable." Li Qingshui observed Shen Ming for a while, smiled slightly, and waved his hand—as if driving away an annoying fly.
Then, before Shen Mingyi had time to speak, his blood vessels bulged all over his body, and the color in his eyes instantly disappeared.
puff!
It was like popping a balloon with a needle, indicating that the whole body exploded, the sound was very small, but there was not even a trace of dross left in the whole body—it seemed that just like that, there was not even a single living cell in his body. What was left, just turned into a handful of unknown things, and flew out.
And after all this was done, Li Qingshui didn't turn his head, and didn't miss this place any more, turned around and left the courtyard.
"Variables, variable..." Li Qingshui left the courtyard and walked to the street, muttering as he walked, "How can the torrent of fate allow the existence of variables? How many of these stumbling blocks to freedom are there?"
While muttering, Li Qingshui put on a more amiable expression, and walked towards the center of Beijing, towards the whole of China, or the heartland of Asia—like a sharp knife.
Four or five kilometers away, Liu Chang and the others packed up their things and walked north along the same road as Li Qingshui.
"Hurry up, everything is packed, we'd better get to the central city before dark, and then find a place to stay."
