Savior

Humans created plastic waste, but were saved by the waste.

Garbage accelerates the world's pollution, but it is the only existence that can perceive the world.

"You saved millions of people." Zhu Ning said objectively. She finally understood where the divinity in Bai Cheng came from. She was more like a god than herself. She had no extra emotions. After every experience, her personal feelings would be cleared out. Her eyes were so gentle because she had lived for so many years and always had some compassion for people.

Zhu Ning is an imitation of Bai Cheng.

Inspired by Bai Cheng, Zhu Yao accidentally created Zhu Ning. There are three generations of Zhu Ning, and there are countless Bai Chengs. Zhu Ning's memory storage method also comes from Bai Cheng. She needs the entire research institute to study day and night, but Bai Cheng is actually natural.

After Bai Cheng realized that she had lost her memory, she quickly established a main brain. Compared with humans and mutants, she is a higher-level creature.

"I've also killed countless of myself." Bai Cheng shook his head and said, "I paid a price you can't imagine."

After the full-scale outbreak of pollution, mutants and natural people shook hands and made peace, looking for all possible forces to fight against it.

It was then that Bai Cheng realized that the efficiency of this social system was so high. It turned out that as long as they wanted to do it, they could do it. This social machine quickly integrated information before it failed. They had known about Bai Cheng's existence for a long time.

At that time, they had records of every mutant, and what they needed was a superpower that could delay time.

Not only Bai Cheng was chosen, but many mutants went to the front line back then to buy time for people. Bai Cheng said that history is repeating itself, exactly the same as the situation today.

Swarms of water droplets, gates in the air, blades in the wind: dangers abound after the pollution outbreak. Humans fall one after another, and the daily death toll is shocking.

At this time, Bai Cheng had to stand up because someone had already found her.

"Please, you are immortal, but people are dying outside." The visitor only needs to repeat this sentence.

Bai Cheng looked towards the glass window. Outside was smoke and monsters that came from nowhere. They were right, death, people were dying all the time.

And every second Bai Cheng delays is accelerating his death.

Bai Cheng has lived in human society for many years, and most of the time she is like a passerby. Her only hobby is to watch the plastic bags floating in the sky. The plastic dancing in the wind makes her feel a pure beauty, but this hobby has no effect on whether there are people participating or not.

If all human beings died and the world became extinct, Bai Cheng could still look at the plastic bags on the ruins.

Many people petitioned, and the core demand was only one: Bai Cheng would not die anyway, so why couldn't they save him? It wouldn't be that easy for the undead.

It is difficult to explain her specific thoughts at the time. Her partners had a thousand reasons for her to take action, all of which were so correct and grand, and she could not come up with a single reason to the contrary.

How could she refuse? I'm so sorry, am I only living for myself?

Bai Cheng looked at the glass window and gradually could no longer see the smoke outside. He only saw his own face in the mirror.

She was looking at herself and also at the real Bai Cheng. She recalled the first human being she knew, who looked at her through the goldfish bowl, treating her like a goldfish or a jellyfish, and would poke her with her fingers.

Then Bai Cheng, who had shrunk into the shape of a stomach, would stretch out, and when he high-fived her with a plastic bag, she would giggle.

Why does the real Bai Cheng live on plastic bags? Why doesn't he eat human food?

So many people were telling her about their great mission, but she only wanted to know one question: why did they vomit, then eat it, then vomit it out again, until they starved themselves to death? Now Bai Cheng seemed to understand.

Because I want to objectify myself.

Because being human is too painful.

Because she thinks the world will never be good, she wants to become plastic.

Bai Cheng was born because he wanted to become plastic.

At that moment, Bai Cheng felt that the little girl was still in his body. She was curled up into a small ball, just like a plastic bag shrinking into a stomach. Bai Cheng was in her stomach, and she was also in Bai Cheng's stomach.

Bai Cheng agreed, not to save those millions of people, but because she wanted to have a chance to change the world.

She wanted to save Bai Cheng, whom she couldn't save. She wanted the world to be a better place so that no one would live on plastic.

Bai Cheng couldn't maintain that level of control for long. The giantess's body wasn't a small city; it was too vast. She only lasted a week.

The side effect was that Bai Cheng's death was accelerated. Almost an entire army was killed that time, and her memory became worse and worse. She could remember things that had happened for decades before, but later only a few years. Each of her corpses was rotten and mutilated. Even if there were no visible wounds on the outside, her internal organs were riddled with holes.

By the time Zhu Ning met her, her split self had already become very weak.

The main brain can also perceive other split selves, and each Bai Cheng who is dug out can only report to the main brain unilaterally.

She experienced extreme loneliness.

The connection between the main brain and the split bodies becomes weaker, and each Bai Cheng is cursed by memory. They use all their instincts just to find their own memories.

Who is she? Why was she born?

Bai Cheng died again and again because of this obsession, and started over again and again, but he could not stop.

Even if she joined a team, the captain would mostly treat her as a consumable. The dead Bai Cheng would not be mourned, and no one thought that every Bai Cheng was different. They were exploiting and using her until she died.

But no one remembers her past. Those people back then are already dead, and the records about her are disappearing.

The female giant is destroying information about the past. All the information will not last long. She even begins to destroy some of the memories of living people, as if it is a punishment for Bai Cheng, making her unable to find the past.

Bai Cheng is the Sisyphus who pushed the stone. This was the price she paid for helping humans escape.

But humanity did not become better because of this. The disaster of that year was repeated inside the wall: the energy struggle of contaminated spores, the racial struggle between superpowers and natural humans, and the oppression of the lower classes by the nobles.

Everything is the same as it was back then.

When humans are destroying the world, the world is also destroying humans.

She finally understood the truth. Bai Cheng failed to save the child who ate plastic, nor could he save the world.

Zhu Ning is an imitation of Bai Cheng, who was the "savior" of the previous generation.

"If you want me to relive those years, I can't do it, and it's meaningless," said Bai Cheng.

Objective conditions made it impossible to complete the task, as Bai Cheng was now more than twice as weak as he was back then.

"After control, the pollution will intensify rapidly." Bai Cheng could sense that every time she controlled the corpses, the corpses would rot more severely, or be scattered on the spot as a pile of bones.

After she took action eighty years ago, the pollution became even worse.

"This doesn't help your situation at all." Bai Cheng's voice sounded apologetic. Zhu Ning was her former companion.

When people face difficulties, they instinctively seek experience from past history, thinking that this will prevent disasters from happening again. But when people turn their eyes to history, it is too late.

Zhu Ning was indeed silent. Her body in the Far North was even distracted for a moment, and she gave up several lines of multi-processing, and Zhu Ning's thoughts became more focused.

Zhu Ning could sense Liu Niannian on the Homecoming, but none of her words could reach Liu Niannian's ears, and the perception between them became increasingly weak.

Zhu Ning saw the information in Liu Niannian's hand. The little princess had a high degree of completion and was a very good investigator outside the wall.

Without a plan to save Zhu Ning, she was just doing useless work, just like every investigator outside the wall who got nothing.

Liu Niannian thought blankly that she must have found the wrong information. She turned the file bag over and over several times, trying to find any missing clues, such as whether there was a chip card or any remaining video data.

But Liu Niannian searched every corner of the bottom of the boat and found nothing.

Outside the boat? In another corner of the train? Liu Niannian tried to sit up, but the back of her head hit the bottom of the boat. This was the end. She was trapped on the Homecoming Train, with nowhere to go.

This is not right. Zhu Ning saved her, so she also wanted to save Zhu Ning, but she didn't know that the moment she was free, Zhu Ning was already dead.

It was too late for her to get out.

Zhu Ning wanted to comfort her. Through Liu Niannian's eyes, she saw the map of the old world and the people who once lived on this land. They were not people in a macro narrative, but specific people who were living.

A vast land, a world without pollution, people live normally, and can travel around the world as long as they want.

Zhu Ning also had the outline of the old world in her mind. Zhu Yao made her think that she was a time traveler from the end of the world, but after really seeing the map, she found that the memories Zhu Yao forged for her were not real.

Just as people cannot accurately describe the world they have never seen, the world that Zhu Yao imagined was not that vast and even seemed a little fake.

Zhu Ning considered a plan to pollute the entire world to form a unified pollution zone, and then weave a dream for the world where they could live together in the dream.

As long as she becomes the only source of pollution in the contaminated area, she can control everything like a god, such as turning back time.

Let people live on unpolluted land.

But this idea was rejected as soon as it came up. Zhu Ning remembered what the first generation machine said, don't change time.

So that's what it means.

Many people have bought time for Zhu Ning to get to where she is today, and Liu Niannian even boarded the Homecoming to save her.

Liu Niannian was under too much mental burden, and the pain was transmitted from the Homecoming to Zhu Ning. She saw blood crawling up Liu Niannian's face, but she was still trapped in the contaminated area and refused to come out, thinking that the secret to saving Zhu Ning was buried there.

Zhu Ning couldn't see Lin Xiaofeng, so he could only imagine Lin Xiaofeng's situation. Xiaofeng must want to enter the Far North and break into that dark world, but the person standing in front of her was Bai Cheng.

Zhu Ning has so many eyes, and the most intuitive pair of eyes is Unit 3. Unit 3 is leaning against Song Zhizhang's body, and her mental defenses have collapsed. Su He is staring at her deeply opposite.

Su He was right. Zhu Ning could lend a helping hand to Unit 03, but she had never participated in the duel between Unit 03 and Su He, so Unit 03 fought alone.

Unit 03 contains all of Zhu Ning's humanity. She just wants to avenge her dead teammates. She just wants to kill the bad guys like in traditional stories, and then the world will be saved.

But Su He made everything complicated, or maybe the world made everything complicated.

There is no other way, Su He's proposal is the only way out.

Unit 03 lowered her hands, her pupils somewhat unfocused. She still had one last trump card left.

Su He looked at her with pity, knowing what Unit 03 wanted to do. Many assassins would use this trick to kill her. After her spirit collapsed, she would become a pollutant. She wanted to die with Su He.

Unit 03 doesn't want to admit defeat. She doesn't care about the destruction of the world. She wants to kill Su He at the cost of her own life.

She wanted Zhu Ning to live. She was a tool created, but Zhu Ning was not. She had the freedom recognized by Zhu Yao herself.

Don't die, don't choose that path, don't sacrifice.

Unit 03 said in her heart, she knew Zhu Ning could hear her, don't bow to the enemy.

Be free, live freely forever.

…

"No," Zhu Ning shook his head, "This is very useful to me."

In the underground garbage dump, Bai Cheng was very surprised. She didn't know what role this history played in Zhu Ning.

Zhu Ning used the body of the mountain cat, which was also his voice. The mountain cat's expression seemed indifferent, and Bai Cheng could not see Zhu Ning's specific face.

Zhu Ning asked, "Can you sense me?"

Bai Cheng looked at her carefully. She knew the female giant best, as she had lived in the giant's body for many years.

"You have her shadow." Bai Cheng said.

She perceives the world differently. Zhu Ning seems to add a touch of vitality to a dead body.

But that is not rebirth in the true sense, it is more like a mutation. The dead will not come back to life, the elderly will not go back in time and become babies, and the rotten people will not be restored to their original state.

Bai Cheng was very clear about Zhu Yao's experiment. She wanted to create a new body or a new container for the female giant, not a brand new life.

If the female giant really came back to life, Bai Cheng would definitely lose control of her.

But now it is obvious that in Bai Cheng's perception, the land is still a corpse, and the huge shadow standing behind Zhu Ning is a very unfamiliar existence.

It was cold, eerie, and indescribable. Bai Cheng didn't know what it was.

Based on past experience, Bai Cheng felt that it was alienation, just like a witcher would become alienated under extreme emotions.

"Do you have the ability to kill me?" Zhu Ning asked calmly.

Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment. She thought she had misheard, "You want me to kill you?"

Zhu Ning wants to pollute the whole world, and then she will be the core source of pollution. But once the pollution occurs, Zhu Ning doesn't know if she can control herself. Her humanity is rapidly decreasing, and the shadow of the female giant behind her is becoming more and more powerful.

What she needs is someone who can kill her quickly, and only Bai Cheng can do that.

The stage of death has been set, the curtain has been drawn, and all the survivors are the audience. They gathered together to watch the death of the protagonist. This is the most exciting drama in history. Someone said that if there is a gun on the stage, the gun will fire sooner or later.

Zhu Ning wants to choose the most outstanding executioner - Bai Cheng.

Zhu Ning: "Yes, I want you to kill me, but not now."
