As soon as these words fell to the ground, Jing Xia's eyes widened in horror.
The assistants in the laboratory had already packed their things and went out first, leaving Jingxia and the three of them a quiet space to talk. In an instant, only Jing Xia, Ji Chuancheng, and Qi Yang were left in the entire laboratory, plus...a mutated hamster that hopped around.
The chirping sound was like background music regularly, breaking the silence in the room one after another. Before Jing Xia could open his mouth, Ji Chuancheng looked at Qi Yang with a serious expression, and asked, "The scope of action has narrowed instead, what price do I have to pay?"
"Jing Xia, this matter...is related to you." Qi Yang put the information in his hand on the table, and did not directly answer Ji Chuancheng's question, but turned to look at Jing Xia. He didn't say a word, but the seriousness in his eyes made Jing Xia feel a stagnation in his throat, and a coolness spread from the heart to the surroundings of the body.
A small black shadow suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision, jumping up and down as if playing around. Seeing Jing Xia's eyes slowly looking at him, Xiao Hei Tuanzi happily turned around, aimed at Jing Xia with his stinky little butt, and deliberately twisted twice.
This kind of action, which usually looks very funny, made Jing Xia not in the mood to laugh at all.
He turned his head slowly, and the corners of his mouth twitched stiffly. When the voice came out of his mouth, it was even unbelievably hoarse to him: "Are you trying to say... Chi Chi?"
"Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!!" They yelled in unison, and Chi Chi Chi rolled happily.
Such a situation of confrontation made the atmosphere in the laboratory instantly cold, and the air was about to freeze, making Jiji, who had been jumping wildly, shrink his neck involuntarily. Ji Chuancheng let out a soft sigh from his throat, and then took a step back, leaving room for the two people who needed to communicate.
The red star glasses on the bridge of the nose have long been left with only a pair of thin frames. Qi Yang nodded slightly, expressionless: "It is indeed needed, and in fact... it is indispensable. If I want to build it, I designed a general The stab-3 is not practical, at present I can only guarantee a 20% possibility, it... will not die."
Jing Xia's left hand clenched into a fist suddenly, and the fingers tightened more and more, as if they were about to pierce through the skin and bleed. After being silent for a long time, just when Qi Yang was about to say it again, Jing Xia breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Okay, I agree. But Chi Chi is wise, I hope you can give me space Let me communicate with it."
Such a situation was already the best ending Qi Yang could imagine, so he agreed and went out first. Ji Chuancheng finally turned around to look at the thin young man's back, a complex look flashed across his handsome face, and he said softly: "It is more than just a pet to you, if you really don't want it, or it doesn't want to , I will be responsible."
The implication is that he will respect all Jing Xia's decisions.
But Jing Xia knew that behind such a promise, there were countless blood and lives on his back. Jing Xia can't afford this kind of promise at all, even he has thought about it, in the balance between humans and Jiji, no matter how selfish he is, he will choose—
Humanity.
"Did Qi Yang treat you badly in the past month or so?" Jing Xia's voice was a little hoarse, he bent slightly, and looked straight into the small mung bean-like eyes. There was a pale smile on his lips, and he said, "You should understand me, and you should..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Jing Xia's throat was completely choked up, unable to speak.
He didn't know how to say: How about you sacrifice yourself for us!
Chi Chi is a mutant beast, no matter how cute and stupid it is, it can never erase the fact that it is indeed a mutant beast!
Let it stand in the human camp to attack the mutant beast, Jing Xia couldn't find a word to persuade him. What's more, it may have to use its life to make a sacrifice, which makes Jingxia even more unable to speak!
The act of sacrifice, even human beings, may be reluctant to do it because of various selfishness, greed for life and fear of death.
Such a move may be criticized by hundreds of millions of people, but unless it is forced to use force, there will be no change at all.
if…
"Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!" A burst of screaming interrupted Jing Xia's thoughts.
He looked down at the fleshy little black dumpling, his expression slightly startled. I saw that the other party was nodding his head non-stop, as if affirming his words.
After being silent for a long time, Jing Xia said with a trembling voice: "Chiji, you and I have been together for a long time?" There was a hint of memory in the voice, and Jing Xia seemed to have seen the person who met this little thing for the first time. Time: "You were very fast back then, but now... it seems to be even faster. At that time, Grandpa Wang was there, but now he..."
"He has left me."
With a bitter smile on his lips, Jing Xia shook his head slightly, hiding the tears in the corners of his eyes under the smile.
"Chichi!" Chichi's voice seemed to be comforting, making Jing Xia's throat even more constricted.
After finally calming down, at this time, Jing Xia finally had to make a decision: "I have something I want to tell you. You can understand me, if you agree, nod your head, if you disagree, shake your head. "
Jiji no longer yelled, but nodded vigorously.
"There is still more than a month. The king of their mutant beasts... I forgot, is also your king. He is about to lead his men to attack us. We can't even fight against a mutant conger eel, if it weren't for the mutant killer whale It happened to be restrained by me and A Chuan, I am afraid that the war more than a month ago, we don't know how it will end."
Jiji listened earnestly, with a bright light shining in his small eyes.
Jing Xia said: "Now, regarding the all-out war they are going to launch, to be honest, even if Qi Yang didn't say anything, I know that our current victory is not big. But, he told me just now that he has a strong opinion on a killer weapon." I have no chance of success, but this trump card... has you."
Little Mung Dou's eyes widened suddenly, and Jiji seemed to understand the deep meaning of Jing Xia's words.
"You are a mutant beast, you shouldn't be in our camp. And Qi Yang said that he wanted your life, which is something I can't decide. If you don't want to, I understand and agree. But... I'm sorry, jerk Ji, I..."
Her voice choked up completely, and the tears swirling in her eyes suddenly fell down, leaving a shallow watermark on her cheek. Jing Xia's nose was very sore, this feeling made him unable to speak at all, but he had to force himself to continue speaking.
Jiji kept nodding his head, as if he was encouraging Jingxia to continue talking, but his little head was closed limply, and the light in his eyes was slightly dimmed, not as bright and lively as before.
"If you want to run, I understand and support it. But Chichi..." Jing Xia finally made up his mind, clenched his fists and looked at the mutant beast that had been with him for more than a year, and said ruthlessly, "But Chichi, Qi Yang will definitely use all methods to trap you. And I... will support him and use all means to trap you."
Jiji didn't move at all, just looked up at Jing Xia who was smiling and crying in front of him with his little head up in a daze.
"Your life, compared with the entire human race, I have no way to choose you. This is my apology to you, this is my mistake and helplessness. Don't worry, I will give you a Confession."
Jiji blinked his eyes, and a small tear fell from the corner of his eye. He didn't know if it was because he was afraid of being sad, or... because of this young man who was so fragile that he could even tremble when he spoke.
"I have to force myself to force you to give my life. This is my selfishness, and I have to bear the responsibility alone. Chichi, let me tell you one last time... I'm sorry."
After finishing speaking, Jing Xia simply turned around and left without caring about anything. But the sudden "cheep" sound in the laboratory stopped his footsteps and made him choose for a long time. Finally, he encouraged himself to turn around and look at the mutant beast.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Jing Xia's hoarse voice seemed a little vague.
Jiji kept nodding.
Jing Xia smiled wryly and raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, I know you hate me, you want to scold me, I'm sorry for you, these crimes... I admit it all."
Jiji kept shaking his head, seemed to be fiddling with his little paw anxiously, jumping up and down anxiously.
Seeing this, Jing Xia was slightly stunned, and even the tears in her eyes gradually dried up. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said the answer that even he didn't believe: "You want to say... you don't hate me?!"
Finally hearing this sentence, Jiji nodded vigorously.
But after knowing the answer, Jing Xia's heart became more like a blunt knife grinding, which made him unbearable: "You don't hate me... Why don't you hate me? I personally sent you to a desperate situation, why don't you hate me?" Me? You should hate me and . . . ”
Jiji kept shaking his head, and at the same time danced and danced in the glass box. It waved its four claws together in the air, as if it wanted to express something, but Jing Xia couldn't see its movements clearly because of its fleshy body, and couldn't even guess what it meant.
"What are you trying to say?"
Jiji kept beating, making Jingxia frown in confusion. In the end, he had no choice but to find Qi Yang, and decided to let someone with a "slightly" higher IQ understand Jiji's "wordless scripture".
But to Jing Xia's surprise, Qi Yang also simply said a few words, and amidst Jiji's hands and feet gestures, he looked at Jing Xia calmly, and replied: "Well, I don't understand."
Jing Xia: "..."
In the end, Jing Xia and Ji Chuancheng reluctantly left the research institute first, and he reluctantly looked at the little black figure that kept hopping around. Only when the narrow and cramped doors finally closed completely did Jing Xia turn her head completely.
He slowly spread his clenched palm, looking at the palm with five blood marks, he smiled wryly and hooked his lips.
It's really... impossible to give up.
Ji Chuancheng frowned silently, looked at the palm that was bloody and bloody from the young man himself, finally sighed softly, pulled Jing Xia's wrist and walked towards Qin Chu's office.
Perhaps because of the excessive attention and concern for young people, even Ji Chuancheng, who has always been calm and careful, did not notice the surprise and light that flashed in Qi Yang's eyes just now in the laboratory. After confirming that there was no one outside the laboratory, Qi Yang locked the door, then walked up to Jiji step by step, and looked down at it.
"Chichi?"
Qi Yang looked solemn: "You said... what happened to s1?"
"Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!!"
In the peaceful and peaceful laboratory, the thin figure of the man and the little black ball complemented each other brilliantly. From time to time, a deep male voice sounded, mixed with a few "cheep" sounds, breaking the silence in the laboratory.
The sunlight outside is still as bright as usual, but in places where neither humans nor mutant beasts can notice, the heat spreading in the air is gradually weakening and fading. Half a year ago it was an extremely hot and severe winter, but now—
But it is a cool and pleasant midsummer that is even faintly getting colder.
