Zhu Ning, who was leading the charge against zombies in the apocalypse, transmigrated. This time, she crossed into a wasteland world.
In this world, eighty percent of the land is polluted. Hu...
363 Utopia (I)
They arrived
Huo Wenxi first awakened her superpowers when she was nine years old. It was during an exam and she was sitting in the examination room.
The elite girls' school is full of children from wealthy families. The mathematics they learn at the age of nine is already the knowledge that ordinary people learn in high school.
Huo Wenxi had always been an excellent student since childhood, and exams were not difficult for her, but that day it seemed as if some kind of spirituality had been awakened, and the whole world changed in her eyes.
She was still holding a pen and carefully checking calculations on a piece of draft paper, but suddenly she became "deaf" and entered an extremely quiet environment.
Huo Wenxi could no longer hear the rustling sounds of other students writing, the sound of flipping test papers, the sound of the invigilator walking, and the ticking of the clock. All of them faded away in an instant.
The "deafness" lasted only a second, followed by the sound of waves, the sea water hitting the rocks, the comfortable white noise echoing in the brain, and the ocean of consciousness slowly unfolding.
Huo Wenxi lowered his head again. The words on the test paper no longer stayed in the same place. The questions and answers floated above the paper. The numbers and words were rearranged, the line of logic unfolded, and the calculation speed increased. Perhaps there was no calculation step at all, but it was presented directly.
For this question, choose A. The correct answer is 0. This question requires a certain formula.
Countless pieces of information seemed to have grown legs and rushed towards her, but she could easily judge which answer to choose. Her hand holding the pen did not stop, and the tip of the pen had its own will, moving quickly across the surface of the test paper. Finally, she put down the pen, and only three minutes had passed.
The exam lasted two hours, and she finished it in three minutes.
The invigilator walked up to her and thought she was unwell. When he saw the test paper, the worry in his eyes turned into shock.
The teacher picked up the test paper in disbelief and started reading from the first question. Feelings of shock and confusion followed one after another. Every question had a standard answer. There was no process for the big questions, only a final number was written.
She had a lot of questions, like the most obvious one: Did you cheat?
But Huo Wenxi doesn't need to cheat, she is a member of the Huo family.
Huo Wenxi reacted faster than the teacher and acted more like an adult. She remained calm and even lowered her voice to avoid disturbing the other students. "Can I go home first?"
The teacher was stunned and nodded after asking for the second time. Later, Huo Wenxi pulled out the chair and walked out of the classroom.
The teacher looked at her back. She was so calm at such a young age. She walked to the door, got her schoolbag from the cabinet, and even turned around to say goodbye to the invigilator politely.
Huo Wenxi will not be ordinary in the future. She will become a great figure. The invigilator is certain of this idea. She will not come back. She will become a commander, a leader, and one of the people in power in the world.
Huo Wenxi awakened her superpowers, and was the fastest to do so far. Before her, the earliest member of the Huo family to awaken was ten years old.
This is a true child of destiny. It is a lifelong honor for a teacher to be able to teach her for a short period of time.
The Huo family came to pick her up soon. She sat in the flying car and watched the world passing by quickly. There were quarreling young people, hurried passers-by, and a warm family of three on the road.
She tried to use her new ability to predict the lives of these passersby, but found it extremely vague, like countless mixed shadows, and it was difficult to make any sense of it.
Superpowers are limited, she is just a beginner.
After returning home, Huo Wenxi received a different set of education that was more suitable for her training. She remained calm from beginning to end and completed all training to the best of her ability.
She is even very perceptive and will not ask any questions, but just accept it silently. There is some information she does not know, probably because it is not the time for her to know it. She just needs to wait where she is, and sooner or later she will master the laws that govern the operation of this world.
This is the confidence she gained from her intuition.
She was still adapting to her new life when one day her grandmother brought in another little boy. He was wearing a white shirt and loose black pants. Perhaps because he was coming to meet Huo Wenxi, he was awkwardly wearing a small tie.
Huo Jinsheng introduced: "This is Zhuang Lin, he will be with you from now on."
The old witch's explanation was very general, just saying "together". Huo Wenxi wanted to ask what they meant by "together for what" but she didn't ask, because as long as she waited there, she would know sooner or later. Later, she found out that they meant to do everything together.
Zhuang Lin cannot leave Huo Wenxi's sight at will. He is her bodyguard, life assistant, and work assistant. In other words, he is Huo Wenxi's personal "property" and belongs to her alone.
Zhuang Lingang has just awakened the ability to flash. If he had not been picked up by the Huo family, he might have become an investigator outside the wall or a demon hunter.
Zhuang Lin was personally selected by Huo Jinsheng. Some people said that Zhuang Lin was not qualified and that Huo Wenxi's personal assistant should be more aggressive and powerful. Zhuang Lin's performance in all aspects was quite mediocre.
His biggest characteristic is that he has a gentle personality, rarely gets angry, and is very meticulous in his work.
The old witch only said to others that this person had a good life.
Good fortune? How should one understand good fortune? No one could understand what the old fortune teller said at the time.
Zhuang Lin also felt that he was lucky. All he had to do was follow Huo Wenxi.
Even at the moment before his death, he felt that he was lucky. He died for Huo Wenxi.
Zhuang Lin accompanied her to school and training, and to internship, cleaned up Huo Wenxi's messy office, reluctantly gave her acupuncture to wake her up, made coffee for her, and took away the cigarette butts she had when she fell asleep.
Zhuang Lin accompanied Huo Wenxi in building his own business from scratch, and together they were officially assigned to the 103 District Cleaning Center to manage the entire abnormal incident investigation team.
Under the leadership of Huo Wenxi, the abnormal incident investigation team was very stuck. Later, it was expanded to 31 people, all of whom were very good at investigating abnormalities. Guided by Huo Wenxi's intuition, they solved many cases and became the most feared department.
Many people talk about Huo Wenxi in a mysterious way, calling her a little witch. Don't mess with her.
Huo Wenxi worked overtime day and night. Many team members thought that the team leader didn't care much about them, so they tried every means to perform well for fear of being left behind.
There was a girl named Huang Zongli. Huo Wenxi always remembered her. She was very hardworking and smart, but she liked to get stuck in a rut and get lost in the information. Huo Wenxi usually let her study as she pleased.
Huang Zongli was also able to come up with good answers and find truly valuable clues. Huo Wenxi thought about letting her lead a team independently in the near future, and she had already made up her mind.
There is a team member named Ma Guangzhong, who is very cheerful. He can always smile no matter how long he works overtime. He always encourages team members, saying, "Come on, we'll finish it soon."
Long Baihong, their technician, wears a plaid shirt every day. Huang Zongli always says, Brother Long, this is the standard appearance of a technician.
Li Fei, a girl who stutters, is a bit socially anxious and only likes to do logistics.
The faces of the investigation team members flashed through Huo Wenxi's mind, their figures constantly surfacing and receding in the ocean of consciousness. Her intuition kicked in again, and she sensed the deaths of the others. Because she wasn't there, this was the only way to determine their life or death, and the only way to say goodbye.
Huo Wenxi didn't know how many people had gone there, but he knew that including Zhuang Lin, fourteen people in the dissenting group had died. The death rate was extremely fast, and they had encountered an inhuman disaster.
Disaster, these were the only two words Huo Wenxi could think of, like a bug being ruthlessly crushed.
After Teacher Qi discovered the "rat", he could reap lives with just a flick of his finger. Some people did not even feel the process of their lives disappearing before they died, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Teacher Qi twisted his fingers, not caring at all. He still maintained the look of an old teacher and left nonchalantly.
No matter how much preparation the anomaly team makes, it will be useless. Even if the entire cleaning center serves as backup, it will be useless. Even if Huo Wenxi personally leads the team to find Teacher Qi, she will only be seeking death. As long as she sets foot in Teacher Qi's territory, she will not be able to fight back, and even her supernatural powers will be obscured. The old witch has already predicted this.
Death happened so quickly that there was no way to have a funeral, and I don't even know if it has any meaning.
And the sin of this death was also counted on Huo Wenxi's head. She would have to carry countless blood on her back in the future. She finally understood how Zhu Ning felt.
Huo Wenxi looked at Huo Jinsheng with his one eye and asked in a hoarse voice, "You knew this a long time ago?"
Huo Jinsheng: "When you were nine years old."
Powerful intuition, peeking into everything, of course also peeking into today.
The biggest disaster Huo Wenxi faced chose Zhuang Lin. At the cost of fourteen deaths, her intuition guided her towards a "safe path".
Is this the chosen one of heaven? The death of ordinary people is just for her own personal achievement.
Huo Wenxi's face was tense, and he didn't know what expression to make. Should he cry bitterly or show weakness to the Huo family?
She was about to collapse, but she forced herself to stay normal. Finally, Huo Wenxi asked, "I can't leave casually, right?"
Huo Jinsheng was a little surprised. Huo Wenxi's reaction was relatively rational. Her first reaction was to ask about her situation. She thought she would see the little witch have a mental breakdown, or at least a crack. It was really that the disciple was better than the master. Huo Jinsheng was already old.
It would be a waste to use Huo Wenxi's special ability only for investigating cases. She could become an observer of history like Huo Jinsheng.
Huo Jinsheng said calmly, "I have no intention of restricting your freedom."
Huo Jinsheng never imprisoned her granddaughter. She would give Huo Wenxi the greatest degree of freedom, even if Huo Wenxi betrayed the family. Huo Jinsheng sighed: "You don't understand this world."
She was too young, with the recklessness of youth and incredible beautiful fantasies about the world.
Only young people want to change the world; old people have already accepted reality.
Huo Jinsheng couldn't help but soften his tone: "I can give you another choice, you still have a chance."
In Huo Jinsheng's eyes, the independence of District 103 seemed fragile, like the painstaking effort to carry out reforms in a rotten world.
If the entire world is compared to a cancer patient who is terminally ill and only a few months away from death, then the corruption and arrogance of the Kingdom of God is like a minor cold, which is meaningless even if it is cured.
Huo Wenxi made the wrong choice once, and the Huo family can give her a second chance.
Only Huo Wenxi has such an opportunity, while people like Zhuang Lin can only die in silence. It is unfair from the beginning to the end.
Huo Wenxi's expression remained unchanged, not a single tear shed, and his deliberately tense facial features looked like a cold mask.
She knows her own value. The only trump card in her hand is Zhu Ning. Huo Wenxi cannot admit defeat. If Huo Wenxi betrays Zhu Ning, Zhu Ning will lose all support within the Federation.
Zhu Ning is already approaching utopia, but she may not know anything about it yet. Huo Wenxi must find a way to support her.
She sorted out her thoughts, as if she had no idea that Zhuang Lin and the others were dead, and everything was back on track.
Huo Wenxi came to the Huo family just to find the truth.
Huo Wenxi asked: "What exactly is Utopia?"
This was a battle between the young witch and the old witch, and a succession of history. The house was quiet, and for a moment only the decayed smell of the old house remained.
Huo Jinsheng didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Where do you think you got your special abilities?"
Huo Wenxi's supernatural power is hereditary. In the history of the Federation, the Huo family has played the same role very stably, awakening their intuitive powers, peeking into the world, and thus pointing out a feasible path.
She used to be an old witch, and now she is a young witch.
Huo Wenxi understood that she, like Lu Yuan, had inherited the same supernatural power from her mother, a power hidden in her unique bloodline.
Huo Wenxi had always thought that Lu Yuan was a canary, a princess imprisoned in the kingdom of God. To some extent, she was actually the same.
Huo Wenxi asked the question that had been bothering him: "Is the Huo family from Utopia?"
Huo Jinsheng was silent for a moment. She stared at Huo Wenxi's blindfold, as if she was looking at the creature underneath. She penetrated Huo Wenxi's body and was having a conversation with her inner self.
"To some extent," Huo Jinsheng chose his words carefully, "yes, we come from Utopia."
Huo Wenxi closed her eyes, and a map of Utopia appeared in her mind. Black lines extended, and she stared at the end for a long time.
Is that their "homeland"?
…
Zhu Ning was looking at the map in his mind. The road extended out and utopia was right in front of him.
Lin Xiaofeng's fever had subsided. Although he was still a little sick, at least he could move around without any problems. He was extremely wary of Zhou Haiqing and the other two. When he saw strangers, he became very silent and hardly spoke a word.
Pei Shu's body was no longer on fire, but he did not wake up and sometimes talked in his sleep.
Zhu Ning even suspected that what he had removed was not Pei Shu's disease, but the source of his life. Could it be that Teacher Pei was killed by himself?
Pei Shu was unable to move, so Zhu Ning could only carry him on her back. This reminded her strangely of a news story she had seen before: an owner took a golden retriever climbing a mountain, but the retriever refused to move, and the owner had to carry it down the mountain.
Zhu Ning's situation is very similar now. Pei Shu's head hangs on her shoulder, very heavy.
Zhu Ning doesn't like carrying people on her back. The last person she carried died on her back.
Zhu Ning lifted Pei Shu up from the ground and threatened him in a low voice, "Don't die, I'm very fragile."
Her threat was meaningless. After all, if Pei Shu died, Zhu Ning couldn't kill him again.
Pei Shu didn't answer her, but his breathing was steady.
There were three more people in the team. Zhou Haiqing and her family joined and followed silently along the way.
The closer Zhu Ning got to Utopia, the more nervous he became. Their team was too broken. If there was danger inside Utopia, this team would have basically no ability to resist the risk.
Should I really go over there? Zhu Ning couldn't help but wonder, but she didn't have any intuition, so she could only get closer and make plans. If she couldn't win, she could just run away.
Zhu Ning didn't dare to enter the forest and just walked along the river. On the way, he was attacked by a vine monster once, and the already poor team was almost defeated.
On the second day, the danger suddenly disappeared, as if all the pollutants began to fear something more powerful. The road began to become smooth, and other people suddenly appeared in front of her.
They were wearing protective suits and appeared out of nowhere, driving two speeding cars and stopped when they passed by Zhu Ning.
The flying car was covered in blood and some monster slime. When Zhu Ning rolled down the window, he asked excitedly, "Are you a pilgrim?"
Zhu Ning looked inside the car. There were several people lying there, and the driver was also injured. Zhou Haiqing was more experienced. "Yes, let's go to Utopia."
Zhou Haiqing is very suitable for playing this role and is particularly relaxed when talking to people.
"I knew it," the driver said with emotion, almost wanting to cry. "It's been so hard along the way. Many of us have died, but we, we won..."
He was a bit incoherent, and Zhu Ning didn't know what he meant by victory. Who was the opponent? Was it a victory over the pollutants outside the wall? Or a victory over the high-pressure rule of the Federation?
Perhaps he had met a fellow countryman, so he asked, "Do you want to get on the bus? We still have two empty seats."
There are many people in Zhu Ning's team, and they are all injured. Having a car is of course good, but it is not safe to let anyone get in the car.
The man guessed that Zhu Ning was alert and had to learn to be careful outside the wall. He was also impulsive and felt that they were almost there, so he wanted to help if he could.
Zhu Ning asked, "Is it almost here?"
The man said excitedly, "Yes, we'll be there soon. There are quite a lot of people ahead."
The pilgrims met at the end. Looking around, they saw humans at the edge of the forest like ants, scattered here and there. If they connected all the ants together, it would look like a road paved with human bodies.
The outline of a building appeared in the front. It was the city-state of mankind, called Utopia by pilgrims, a paradise where there was no oppression and everyone was equal. They had arrived.
