Enjin took the people on the elevator.
After the door closed slowly with a "ding", a gentle and pleasant female voice sounded in the elevator.
"Welcome to the No. 8 site of the Charles de Gaulle transit station. Today is September 5, 2022 in the Earth's calendar. The second day of extreme cold weather continues. The outdoor temperature is minus 202 degrees Celsius. The number of cities covered by the storm has reached 13,000, and the progress is 92%. Traveling Please be sure to wear protective clothing. Site No. 8 of the Charles de Gaulle transit station covers an area of about 50 square kilometers and accommodates a total of 20 test subjects... "
"Beep—"
After a static sound, the gentle female voice suddenly disappeared, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Gu Meng pinched the brim of the officer's cap, and moved some distance to the side, revealing a slightly tired eye.
At the same time, he saw the night scene outside through the glass curtain wall of the elevator.
The visibility of the field of vision is very low, except for the hail that swept across the glass exterior wall frantically and flashed white light in the dark night, what can be seen is a very inconspicuous mountain line in the distance.
For some reason, even though the hailstorm outside is violently hitting the glass exterior of the building, the people inside the building can't hear any noise, as if they are in two completely different worlds, so there is a feeling of watching a movie through a screen Unreal.
"There's no need to turn it off." Gu Meng said, "I want to know how many... experimental subjects like me are accommodated here."
The other so-called test subjects should still be sealed in the balance cabin, wearing white clothes like prison uniforms, like undifferentiated commodities on the shelves, except for a string of numbers sewn on the left breast pocket. stamped factory serial number.
Gu Meng glanced down, his serial number was "1001".
"Currently it is 200,000." Enjin looked at the elevator door in front of him and said in an extremely calm tone, as if he was only discussing a set of meaningless numbers, "The capacity is 300,000, and it will reach full capacity tomorrow afternoon .”
Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Meng, his soft voice was tinged with a little human touch, and said: "You are different, 'test subject' is just a code name, if you don't like it, you can let this The codename disappeared."
Gu Meng raised her eyes and glanced at Enjin, thinking, nothing can escape the man's eyes.
He didn't express his opinion, but just signaled Enjin to put himself down.
After standing on the ground, Gu Meng casually put the hat in her hand on top of her head. Through the reflection of the glass curtain wall, it can be seen that the iron black officer's cap is stuck a little askew, but no one will care about this.
Enjin stood behind Gu Meng, pulled off the windbreaker from her shoulders, held it in her hand, shook it off, and covered him.
Gu Meng approached the glass window, looked at the oncoming hailstones, and asked, "Why is this happening?"
If today is September 5th, only five days have passed since he was involved in the game, but in less than a week, the real world looks completely changed and devastated.
"According to the plan, the earth will be cooled down from yesterday." Enjin explained without hesitation, "to prepare for the final purification the day after tomorrow."
Gu Meng's whole body was still soaked. En Jin was afraid that he would be cold, so she slowly stepped forward two steps, wrapped her hands around Gu Meng's waist, one left and one right, and propped herself on the crossbar of the inner wall of the elevator box. People circled in their arms.
After finishing all this, Enjin followed Gu Meng's line of sight and looked out the window together. The soft male voice explained without too much emotion: "In the past four days, there have been large-scale tsunamis, earthquakes, and heat storms on this planet. And a series of extreme natural phenomena, the environment has reached a relatively stable state, and after the cooling is over, this blue planet will be rejuvenated, and it will only be better than before."
The elevator was still ascending gently, and the incandescent lamp at the top illuminated the inside of the box very brightly, presenting an almost pale and cold texture.
"Tsunami, earthquake, blizzard..." Gu Meng stared at the direction outside the window for a moment, then said in a daze, "Are all these natural disasters caused by you Homo sapiens?"
Enjin was silent for a while, and said: "Natural disasters in the eyes of human beings are actually the planet's active adjustment and cleaning of itself. We just accelerated this process on the earth and made her complete the disaster that will happen in the next thousand years. The transformation will quickly enter a new balance within seven days. In a long period of time in the future, as long as human beings do not revert to their old ways... You should understand what I am trying to say. War, pollution, and over-exploitation will all cause great changes on this planet. The reason is that as long as human beings can restrain themselves, the Promised Land will no longer be plagued by natural disasters."
Gu Meng seemed to think it was funny, and pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, but he didn't laugh. He bit his lower lip and said, "Do you know why my name is Gu Meng?"
Just at this moment, the elevator came to a complete stop, the door made a "ding" sound, and the heavy iron door slowly opened to both sides—
"Forty-fifth floor, we're here."
"Passenger, master, the highest authority, approved."
"Passenger, subject 1001, first-class, no permission to break in, it is recommended to clean up."
"The three-second countdown is on, and the cleaning process is ready..."
Enjin tapped the bar lightly with her fingertips, and the mechanical notification sound suddenly disappeared.
"We're here, let's go." Enjin took a deep breath secretly, and walked out with an arm around Gu Meng's shoulder.
"This is the system I designed before entering the game by mistake." Enjin led the people through the thickly carpeted aisle, and explained in a low voice, "Tomorrow, a new version of the system will be changed and overwritten."
"Don't change it." Gu Meng was wearing an officer's cap and a large iron-black windbreaker. She lowered her head and rubbed her nose. It might be because of the cold that she had the urge to sneeze.
Then, Gu Meng hesitated for a moment, turned her face to look at En Jin, raised her hand and rubbed the soft hair on his forehead, and said sincerely: "It's not easy for you to be programmers, if you can save some brain cells, save some. If you don't go bald after twenty-five or six years old, Bawang hair tonic will not be able to save you."
Enjin: "..."
Someone fell into a state of complete speechlessness.
Gu Meng put down her hands, and muttered honestly, "Anyway, with you by my side, I can't die...so don't change it."
After getting out of the elevator, there was only one corridor connected to the elevator door on the forty-fifth floor, and a dark red door stood there at the end of the corridor.
It gives people a domineering and high-end feeling of being the only one on the whole floor.
As Enjin approached, the double carved wooden doors slowly opened to both sides, revealing the low-key and luxurious decoration style of the room.
When entering the room, Gu Meng looked back.
The elevator door closed slowly, the sensor lights behind him went out one by one, and the corridor was plunged into darkness one by one.
Gu Meng knew that she had stepped into Enjin's domain, so she relaxed completely, and was no longer so nervous and uneasy.
Only then did he think about other things.
Being led by En Jin through the living room and into the bedroom, Gu Meng asked, "Are Bo Ye and Tang Zhi safe now?"
The bedroom is very warm, only a floor lamp with a warm orange halo is turned on.
Enjin stood facing Gu Meng, lifted the windbreaker off his shoulders, and the windbreaker fell to the ground with a rustle.
Enjin took out a clean towel from the drawer of the bedside table, covered Gu Meng's head, and gently wiped his hair that was still dripping.
"They are safe and still in the balance cabin." Enjin said, "People are staring at them."
Gu Meng raised her hand and pushed the edge of the towel covering her eyes, raised her face slightly and complained: "Are you sure? Your little brother doesn't look very reliable, and he still drinks milk tea during work."
"..." Enjin slowed down the speed of wiping, looking at Gu Meng, finally there was a trace of turbulence in his far and quiet eyes.
Sighing, he said helplessly, "Milk tea will be banned from tomorrow."
"Hey." Gu Meng poked his waist in dissatisfaction, frowned, and said, "That's not the point."
"They are absolutely safe, I promise." Enjin said.
Gu Meng hummed twice to express her satisfaction.
"Have they already signed the contract?" With Enjin serving and no need to do it herself, Gu Meng stood there thinking.
"Candi refused once." Enjin told the truth, after wiping Gu Meng's hair, she began to wipe Gu Meng's body again, probably because she felt troublesome through the wet clothes, so she paused, motioning Gu Meng to raise her hands.
Gu Meng did as he did, and Enjin pulled up the hem of his shirt, took it off and threw it at his feet, and continued to wipe the water stains on his body meticulously.
Enjin said: "Fortunately, he returned to the sixth day in time and was not injured."
Gu Meng thought about it, and guessed that with Tang Zhi's character, she would still refuse the second time.
If Tang Zhi is unwilling to enter the Promised Land, then even Bo Ye will give up the opportunity to enter, the couple always have a good understanding and can't go wrong.
But since En Jin promised that they will be fine, Gu Meng believes that Bo Ye and Tang Zhi will not be cleared by the system for the time being.
At this time, Gu Meng held down Enjin's hand that wiped his chest, and said, "Hello."
"Huh?" Enjin raised her eyes to look at him in confusion.
"Can you be more honest?" Gu Meng said.
"... Mmm." Enjin moved her fingertips away, stopped making small movements, and wiped Gu Meng's face in a proper manner.
After a while, Gu Meng thought of a question and asked, "Do you have that kind of key card that allows you to come and go freely?"
Enjin didn't answer immediately, after drying her upper half, she bent down and took off Gu Meng's pants, and asked, "Do you want it?"
"..." Gu Meng looked down, no matter what, it was right to think that he was asking if he wanted a key card.
"I want it," he said, "so that I won't be stuck somewhere and can't get out. If you're not there, the system will block the space and start some cleaning program, so I'm hopeless. The system hates humans so much, it's just crazy. "
As soon as the voice fell, a mechanical electronic voice sounded in the room: "Experiment 1001, first-class, after confirmation, insulting the intelligent system, the clearing process will start after a three-second countdown, three, two..."
Gu Meng: "..."
Enjin: "..."
Enjin glanced in a certain direction, the countdown ended abruptly, and he said, "It will be changed tomorrow."
"If you want..." At this moment, Enjin straightened up and looked at Gu Meng again.
Perhaps because of his iron black military uniform, the handsome man looked particularly upright and serious.
He said to Gu Meng, "Bribe me."
Gu Meng thought for a while, raised her hand, and bribed him with a clear and loud slap.
Enjin does not have that kind of door card, because he himself symbolizes the highest authority, and he will not be hindered wherever he goes in the transit station, so there is no need for such a thing as a door card.
But since Gu Meng wanted it, he found one out of thin air and handed it to Gu Meng like magic.
"Thank you." Gu Meng flipped the card over in his hand and looked it over, before putting it on the bedside table casually.
After wiping his body clean, Gu Meng went into the bathroom to take a bath to wash away the smell of salty sea water.
After taking a shower, when he came out wearing a bathrobe, he found Enjin still waiting in the bedroom.
Enjin sat on the sofa by the window and waved to him, as if she had something to talk about.
The window behind the man was locked, and it was just a decoration at the moment. In the extremely cold weather outside, it was impossible to open the window indoors.
Gu Meng threw the towel to hang on the back of the chair, walked over, and said, "What's the matter?"
When he walked to the sofa and was about to sit down, he was dragged onto his lap by the man.
Enjin hugged him tightly from behind, rubbed the tip of her nose against the back of Gu Meng's fragrant neck after bathing, and sighed deeply.
Gu Meng looked ahead, wanted to move but stopped.
My heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
His cub has always been carefree in front of him, when was he so sad
The peaceful atmosphere they had been carefully maintaining was finally broken, and the two had to face up to the ultimate problem that stood between them.
"Why don't you want to sign the contract?" Enjin buried her face behind his neck, and said in a soft voice, "Didn't you agree to go to the Promised Land with me? You promised..."
Gu Meng lowered her head and caressed the back of Enjin's knuckles, frowned uncontrollably, her eyes were a little wet, and murmured: "Enjin, son... I can't accept that world."
"Why?" Enjin asked, holding Gu Meng tighter, her voice choked up, "Isn't that the utopia you humans yearn for? Everything will only be better than before, why refuse? You don't want to talk to me Together? Do you want me?"
Gu Meng quickly shook her head, wanting to say "no", but her throat was too dry to make a sound.
The Adam's apple moved up and down, he cleared his throat, and said, "It's different from what you said."
Quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, but her voice couldn't stop being hoarse, she said: "There is no you in Utopia...why are you not here..."
"I've been here all the time!" Enjin raised her head from behind Gu Meng, and said eagerly, "You mean the simulated scene in the balance cabin? That's not true. I'm just leaving temporarily, and I won't be anywhere in the future." No need to go, just stay by your side..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Meng's silent movement.
Gu Meng shook her head, took off Enjin's hands tightly locked around her waist and abdomen, got up and walked to the bed, then sat down facing Enjin.
Enjin can see Gu Meng's appearance clearly only when they are face to face.
Under the warm-colored standing lamp, the warm jade-colored face was also soaked in a layer of orange-yellow light, and the eyes were especially red.
Gu Meng propped her hands on the side of the bed, sucked her nose, forced a smile and said, "I'm not there either."
Gu Meng still remembered the state in the balance cabin. Although happiness filled her whole body, there was a death-like silence that could not be dissipated in that peace.
"I can only smile blindly. I don't have troubles in work or life anymore. I can't understand what anger, anxiety or sadness are. Even if my colleague becomes a little girl who just came out of the juvenile prison, I can't Express your grievances and rejections freely, and you can only accept them with a smile and a peaceful mind."
"That kind of world is really beautiful, there will be no disputes, no discrimination and prejudice, everyone tolerates each other, and we can even walk hand in hand in the sunshine..." Speaking of this, Gu Meng looked away, shrugged, and said , "But Enjin, that's not me, that's not us, that's not the human society I'm familiar with, it's just a group of saints dealing with each other."
He added: "The Promised Land you promised, it sucks."
Enjin directly bent down from the sofa, knelt on the ground with one knee, and raised her hand to touch Gu Meng's face.
Gu Meng did not dodge twice, but was forced to turn around while holding her face, and looked at the man in front of her.
Enjin stared at him with her face up, in a gesture of complete surrender, with a pleading tone in her tone: "I promise, it's not as bad as you imagined, and you will like it when you really enter the Promised Land."
This was the first and only time that Gu Meng was indifferent to Enjin's promise.
He pursed his lips, unwilling to let go.
Gu Meng understood that Enjin and the others not only wanted to purify the planet, but also the "bacteria" on the planet.
Only by becoming a saint can human beings not go back to their old ways, and war, pollution and cruelty will completely disappear from this planet.
"With the first time, there will be countless times behind."
— These are the exact words of his father.
"You can see how serious he promised that he would not commit another crime, but look at it, no matter how many opportunities he is given, he will return to his old ways in the future. This is a human being."
So he is called "Gu Meng", which is like a self-deprecating joke made by his father.
The purified planet may be better, but the "bacteria" that have been forcibly purified by external forces cannot be called human beings.
"Human beings are indeed ugly." Gu Meng said to Enjin, "But they are also cute because of their ineradicable desires, so... I choose the old world."
Enjin glanced at his face for a long time with slightly painful eyes, and then suddenly kissed him on her back.
Gu Meng did not refuse.
"Don't think about other things... choose me, choose me, okay?" Enjin kept whispering, speaking in confusion, and pushed her into the bed.
Gu Meng had no choice but to give false promises, so she stretched out her hand to hug him, gently rubbing the man's earlobe and the back of his neck soothingly...
In the middle of the night, the curtains were not drawn on the windows, and the scenery outside was unobstructed.
But in fact, there is no scenery or color to speak of, but the hailstones are constantly churning in the dark night, scarring the ground.
On the bed, the man was already sound asleep, lying on his side on the pillow. The exposed half of the profile face is beautiful and heroic, the previously frowning brows have been relaxed, the lips are gently pursed, and the irritability in the whole body seems to have been vented.
Next to it, a slender hand pressed on the bedside table, and took the black card away.
Gu Meng stood by the bed, turning over the collar of the black shirt with one hand, never leaving the man's profile.
The shirt was too big for him, but there was nothing he could do about it, it wasn't his size after all.
After he touched the card, he finally looked away from Enjin's face, checked it with lowered eyes, turned and walked out.
Without the slightest remembrance.
Take the elevator and go straight down from the forty-fifth floor to the second floor.
This time it was smooth and there was no annoying mechanical sound telling me "clearing process is ready".
In the aisle on the second floor, the doors are equally spaced apart. It looks like a cell in a prison. Whether you look up, down, or around, there are all such iron doors one by one. number.
After all, it will accommodate 300,000 test subjects, and there might be 300,000 rooms in this transfer station.
Gu Meng passed through countless rooms, and stopped in front of a door that hadn't been repaired in the future.
There was also a puddle of liquid there.
Gu Meng looked at the room on the left, and then at the room on the right.
The room number on the right shows "1002".
Gu Meng thought for a while, and took out the key card to open room "1002". After walking in, she looked inside the transparent mask of the balance cabin, and she really saw Bo Ye's handsome face.
"Slept peacefully..."
Gu Meng muttered while pulling down the manual lever.
Gas spewed out like an air leak from the edge of the cabin, and the mask slowly opened from above.
Bo Ye crawled out of the balance cabin, feeling nauseous and hypoglycemic, the situation was very bad.
He held on to the cabin door for a while before he had the time to look around his surroundings.
Seeing Gu Meng, Bo Ye was not surprised, he just asked: "This is..."
"Don't ask." Gu Meng interrupted him directly, and said, "It's not a good place anyway."
"Then we..." Bo Ye just woke up, still at a loss for the new environment.
"We were kidnapped by aliens. The situation is serious." Gu Meng waved at him and said, "Let's leave first."
"Are you going to..." Bo Ye saw that Gu Meng's posture was a bit unusual, as if he was planning to make a big deal.
"I'm going to go to the next door to wake Candi up first." Gu Meng still didn't wait for Bo Ye to finish, and continued with the plan on her own, "Then we figured out how to blow up this place."
Bo Ye was startled: "Why did you bomb this place?"
"I can't control other places." Gu Meng walked to the corridor outside the room, climbed onto the railing and looked up, as if he was exploring the surrounding environment, and explained distractedly, "But I know that the boss of the alien is here. If you kill him in the building, maybe humans will be saved."
Bo Ye digested silently for half a second, then asked: "Who is the boss of the alien? Do you know him?"
"Enjin." Gu Meng threw out two words indifferently.
Bo Ye: "..."
So... Gu Meng meant to blow up Enjin
He thought he might not be awake yet.
Gu Meng then opened the "1003" room and found Tang Zhi.
Bo Ye followed behind him, and had to remind him: "... Mengmeng, I don't know what kind of stimulation you have received... Although Enjin is the boss here, he is also your man, there is no need to kill him..."
Gu Meng pulled down the lever of the balance cabin door, without turning her head, said, "I've slept through it, so I don't need it."
"..."
Bo Ye wiped his face, turned around and walked out, and said, "Wait, I'll go back and lie down for a while."
The way to open this world is wrong, it must be because I didn't wake up.
The author has something to say:
Thanks for your support~
The seventh day is the cute bomb test site, haha.
