Escape is a wrong choice, hiding in a safe place is also a wrong choice, so all he can do is face the danger head-on.
- He is still not short of money. When he slaughtered the Wild Wolf Gang, he looted a large amount of extra money.
After about two hours, he returned to the garbage mountain with a lot of things.
According to his previous memory, he once again came to the well-hidden "cave", but looking at the scene inside the cave, he couldn't help but frown.
The previously clean and tidy interior of the cave had been destroyed into a mess in just two hours.
The broken bowl smashed into pieces on the ground, the table was kicked aside, the two potted plants at the door were uprooted, and the roots were scattered messily on the ground...
- Over there on the bed, the girl wrapped herself tightly in a shabby quilt.
Bai Zhi shook his head slightly, put the things in his hands aside, and started cleaning and tidying up the inside of the cave again.
He could actually understand the other person's feelings... or he had felt the same way.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 617 Chapter 609 Fairy Tale
When something happens that you cannot accept, sleeping can significantly alleviate the symptoms, because you can deceive yourself in your heart that it might just be a dream.
—But dreams, after all, there is a time to wake up.
Opening her eyes nervously, Hitomi saw that all the things she had destroyed before had been restored. A slightly familiar figure was sitting next to the fire with his back to her. The wood was burning and making a crackling sound, and the flickering light of the fire was reflected. In her eyes.
… Sure enough, what happened before was all a dream, right
Seeing these scenes that seemed familiar and normal in the past, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, but before she could sit up, the figure sitting next to the fire moved when she heard the movement and turned her head. He looked towards her.
"you're awake?"
"..."
Looking at the face of the person who turned around, the memory that she was unwilling to face resurfaced in her mind. The expression on the girl's face solidified little by little, and the light in her eyes also dissipated little by little... She ended up with a deadpan look on her face.
"Who gave you permission to enter my house?"
"Why, isn't this your home?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"My home is gone."
Hitomi's face was expressionless.
"No, the family is still there, and she asked me to take care of you."
Bai Zhi shook his head slightly and turned towards the fire again.
"You can't survive alone, right?"
"You don't have to worry about my affairs."
Standing up, Hitomi spoke coldly.
"Now, get out of my house."
"I've already prepared the food. The environment here is too harsh, so you'll have to make do with it."
Without saying anything more, Bai Zhi got up and left the cave after leaving these words.
—Then he moved a small maza at the door and sat down.
"..."
"You need company now, and I will leave when you don't need company anymore... You can't see my head office like this, right?"
Seeing that Tong was staring at him, he shrugged slightly, and Bai Zhi simply closed the door.
"Now that you can't see me, you can pretend that I don't exist, just like a vampire can't see the sun and pretend that it doesn't exist."
- There was dead silence inside the door, except for the occasional popping sound of burning wood.
However, Bai Zhi didn't care about these things.
While taking out food to summon the small animals in the garbage mountain and trying to make a deal with them, he talked to himself.
"People should always learn to look forward. Nothing in the world is eternal. You must understand this. The so-called happiness is all based on comparison. There are many people in this world who are less fortunate than you, but But they are still strong, and you have to learn to be strong too."
"..."
Listening to the roaring sound coming from outside the door, Hitomi hugged her legs and huddled next to the fire without saying a word.
"In this world, everyone feels that they are unfortunate, but in other worlds, but in some places, there are people who are more unfortunate than you. Do you need me to tell you their stories? First of all, I The person I met at the very beginning, the person I met at the earliest time... or rather cannot be called a human existence... "
"..."
Listening to the voices coming from outside and staring at the flames jumping in front of her, the girl seemed to be listening attentively, but she also seemed to be immersed in her own world.
"... It is said that after death, people will go to heaven, but I don't think so. After death, they must go to someone's heart and become that person's memory. They will always be there and live forever in our hearts. . Just like happiness comes with sadness, and reunion comes with separation. This is how life is, happiness and sadness are equivalent. "
… Can you say such a thing? I'm so annoyed...can't I just calm down for a while? What does this kind of thing have to do with me...
The girl sitting next to the fire adjusted her sitting position a little irritably.
"... I used to think that happiness cannot be bought with money, but later I realized that it was my little money that could not buy happiness. Are rich people really happy? Yes, you can't be happy with the happiness of rich people I can never imagine that my dream at the beginning was to make a lot of money, but now that I think about it, my dream at that time was really too vulgar, and I actually took money so seriously... "
That's right... It's simply vulgar... And there is no logic in the speech at all. I just talk about whatever comes to my mind...
... Listening to the constant chatter outside, the girl found a golden baked pancake from beside the fire, then broke it into pieces bit by bit and put it in her mouth.
"If I think about it now, I really shouldn't have. Because I took the money too seriously and didn't find anything to hold it down, so all the money was blown away by the wind... Oh, I was young and frivolous..."
"Ahem..."
The girl almost choked and coughed several times. When she held her throat and prepared to get up to find water, she found a pot of warm water next to the fire.
"Forget it, instead of talking about the sad things in the past, I'll tell you a few fairy tales. The first fairy tale I want to tell is about the girl selling little matches..."
… … … … …
In this filthy garbage pile, the boy has been sitting outside the door talking to himself, while the girl is sitting silently by the fire inside the door listening... It's like a beautiful fairy tale. Start.
The night is like water.
In the end, Hitomi didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, she found that she was pillowing next to the fire, and the fire beside her had long been extinguished.
After sitting up from the ground again, the expression on Hitomi's face was blank for a moment.
After a moment, as if something suddenly occurred to her, she quickly came to the door and opened it.
Outside the door, there was no one.
All that could be seen was the stinking mountain of garbage and a small mazha placed on the ground.
"..."
After standing there in silence for a moment, she closed the door with a gloomy expression. However, when she turned around, she happened to meet someone who was squatting on the ground holding a teapot and poured it directly into his mouth. Their eyes met.
In an instant, the scene became extremely awkward.
"Ahem... My mouth is dry, so I came in to get some water."
Bai Zhi took a few gulps of water, put down the kettle, and coughed a few times.
"I've already prepared breakfast and stuff. I'll put it on the table. You can eat it by yourself later."
"I… "
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll leave right away if you don't want you to rush me."
Waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Bai Zhi walked towards the door.
"I still have some things to do now. I'll come over and bring you food at noon... um, bring you delicious food."
"..."
Watching the other person pass by her, the girl finally did not extend her hand.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 618 Chapter 610 Line of Sight, Underground Base, Experimental Subject Zero
Because of the sudden demise of the Wild Wolf Gang, today's town is obviously much more lively and noisy than yesterday.
He didn't have the intention to pay attention to this. After leaving the garbage mountain, Bai Zhi went straight to the center of the town.
The center of the town is where the players live, and it is the players who built the town here.
The current survival model in this world is a big city plus small towns scattered around it. It takes two days to travel from this small town to a nearby small town, and five days to the big city.
Big cities are definitely safer than here, but they are also difficult to enter. In the current world environment, many people have never left the small town where they were born.
Normally, no one else is allowed to approach this place in the center of the town, but just as Bai Zhi had learned from the corpse rats, there was no one here anymore.
Based on the results of his transaction with the corpse rats last night, Bai Zhi found a passage leading underground after spending a little time.
"Is it an underground laboratory or a base or something like that..."
While thinking in his heart, Bai Zhi followed deep into the underground base.
His previous guess was not wrong. There were indeed some secrets hidden here. The access card thrown by the man who escaped from the thick fog and then burned himself in front of him seemed to have a very high level of influence in this underground base. permissions.
So he had no trouble all the way down.
Along the way, he found no trace of anyone. The place seemed abandoned, with various scattered papers and broken parts everywhere on the ground.
Although there is no one here, the electricity is still on and various facilities are operating stably.
But I don’t know what the reason is, or maybe it’s some strange sixth sense in my heart. Ever since I entered this underground base, it was clear that there was no one in the underground base, but Bai Zhi always I feel like I'm being targeted by many people.
The gazes spying on him seemed to come from all directions, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling like a ray of light on his back. However, no matter how much Bai Zhi searched, he could never find the source of the prying eyes.
——What Bai Zhi felt was pure malice among those who were spying on him.
After searching to no avail, Bai Zhi gave up this time-wasting practice.
"Forget it, let's forget about it for now... just be careful."
Feeling that the number of malicious prying eyes around him did not decrease, but became more and more malicious as time went by, [Glory] slipped silently into his hand, and Bai Zhi let out a small breath in his mouth.
"No matter what it is that is spying on you in the dark, it will eventually come out, right? The number may be a bit too much... six bullets shouldn't be enough, right? Fortunately, I collected a lot of bullets from the Wild Wolf Department before... "
A scary bug motionless: common deterrent
A scary bug moves around: advanced deterrence
A terrifying bug suddenly disappears: the ultimate deterrent
What people fear most is the unknown mystery. When the mystery is unveiled, the intimidation level will at least drop several levels.
This is also the reason why in so many horror films, the appearance of scary monsters is always welcomed in return.
Although I don’t know what is staring at me, if you dare to show your health bar, I will kill you...
… … … … … … … … …
After ignoring those malicious prying eyes, Bai Zhi's exploration speed increased significantly.
About 30 minutes later, Bai Zhi found a place similar to an archive room, and in this archive room, he discovered some chilling truths...
That huge black figure, whose body was hidden in the thick fog and pulled forward by thousands of chains, was once an experimental subject in this underground base, code-named Experiment Zero.
There were many experimental subjects like Black Shadow in this underground base, but due to its own particularity, Experimental Subject Zero was the longest-lived one.
Since it was captured into this base, it has stayed in this underground base as an experimental subject for ten years, undergoing various inhumane experiments every day.
—Because its ability to evolve is unparalleled vitality and resilience.
The light yellow powder that Bai Zhi had used before to drive away monsters wandering around was one of the research results produced in this base.
Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown even after watching some of the videos of various related experiments that were saved here.
—In the archives, there is no other introduction about the experimental subject, and the identity and name are not known at all. There is only the code name of Experiment Zero as a proxy.
So Bai Zhi didn't know whether the other party was a criminal who had committed some unforgivable crime and was caught, or an innocent victim who was targeted because of his special ability... But these things were of little significance now. .
Without thinking too much about this meaningless question, Bai Zhi quickly glanced at the experimental videos that had no research significance and began to pursue the truth of certain things.
Soon, he made a new discovery.
Until a few days ago, this underground base was still operating normally, but the real change happened a year ago.
In that incident, Experiment Zero, which was held in this underground base, successfully escaped from prison. At the same time, more than 90% of the staff in this underground base disappeared mysteriously.
Hundreds of living people, even if they were killed or eaten, would always leave some clues, but these missing people did not leave any traces. Hundreds of people disappeared in that prison break. without a trace.
