Chapter 67 Dwarf Hut (XIV)
"Destroying the experimental subject... I don't agree."
A familiar voice sounded beside his ears, and Feng Zhibei slowly opened his eyes.
Several people gathered around him, discussing heatedly.
"Destroying some of it is fine, but destroying all of it is definitely not an option. My brother is also a clone experiment. If that day ever comes... I can't possibly hand him over."
He Xinmei had a sluggish face, and a very young-looking boy was sitting next to her.
"Don't interrupt! Yan Chuxue hasn't said anything yet, why are you interrupting!"
The petite girl was almost about to jump up in anger, but was held down by the blond man next to her.
Suddenly, Feng Zhibei felt something close to the back of his neck.
"...I disagree. Xiaozhi isn't a test subject. He's now a serious debugger, just like me."
A muffled voice came from behind me.
Feng Zhibei took a while to realize that he was now in Yan Chuxue's arms.
He recalled it for a moment before pulling out this memory from the depths of his mind.
This was a discussion in a laboratory on whether the cloned experimental subjects should be destroyed.
Why didn't he react at the beginning...
Because he slept through the entire meeting that year.
“…”
Feng Zhibei took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Yan Chuxue put her lips close to his ear and said, "What should I do? Hurry up and say you don't agree. I really can't lose you."
Feng Zhibei: "..."
In his numbness, he recalled that Yan Chuxue was unusually clingy during this period of time, and would even pull him to sleep with her.
Of course, back to back. Feng Zhibei refused to sleep face to face with him.
The other person's cold back would wake him up several times every night.
Feng Zhibei said with a wooden face: "Stay away from me, I'm itchy."
Yan Chuxue quickly sat up and said, "Where does it itch? Let me scratch it for you."
Feng Zhibei: "...?"
Everyone present turned their attention to them.
He Xinmei, who was sitting far away, raised her hand to shield He Yutong's eyes. "Don't look at them. They're too ugly."
Min Zhichun scoffed when he heard this, "How dare you criticize them?"
Half of He Yutong's body was pulled onto He Xinmei's, and the little boy looked a little confused.
"...Sister, what happened?"
"nothing."
Three voices rang out simultaneously.
Feng Zhibei looked at Yan Chuxue, then at He Xinmei, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
——Why did I return to this time?!
Moreover, I had clearly fallen asleep that year, and everything was arranged when I woke up. There was no such plot at all!
“Ding Ding——”
Jin Yu fumbled to pull out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button.
He originally used an ordinary walkie-talkie, but since he learned that there were such things as mobile phones in the human world, he insisted on getting one for himself.
"Ah, Brother Bei, what happened to the newly born experimental subject? Lack of oxygen?"
His face turned serious, and after a while his expression became subtle.
"...What did you say? I don't know how to take care of a child! Don't look for me...Okay, I'll ask Yan Chuxue for you."
Jin Yu put the phone away and said to Yan Chuxue, "Would you like to raise one of those, the kind that's that big?"
He stretched out his hand and gestured, but no one could understand what he was gesturing.
Feng Zhibei estimated that he gestured to make a big rat.
Yan Chuxue leaned forward, her strong chest pressed tightly against Feng Zhibei's back.
"...What is this?"
"A child, yes! A child! It's the child that Bei Ming cultivated using his heart. He took it out of the culture medium ahead of time. He has never raised such a young child before and doesn't know how to take care of it."
Jinyu sighed.
"No, you're the only one here who has successfully raised such a young child. I can only ask you."
"That's how we raised him. Xiaozhi was very well behaved at the time and would eat anything we fed him."
Yan Chuxue answered while poking Feng Zhibei's waist, and then was slapped hard by Feng Zhibei.
He covered his reddened hand and raised his eyes in Jin Yu's direction, "I really don't know how to raise him. If he cries, it must be hungry. Just feed him."
"He asked what you were feeding him, and he fed the child formula, but he wouldn't eat it."
Yan Chuxue: "How can you feed him milk powder? I only feed him blood. If he doesn't like it, I'll get him a piece of meat and mix it with it. It will definitely cure his picky eating."
Feng Zhibei: "..."
Although this sentence is shocking, it actually makes some sense.
After all, the experimental subjects were cultivated using parts of their bodies, and the flesh and blood of the original body was of course more attractive than milk powder.
Jin Yu repeated his words to the person on the other end of the phone and finally hung up.
"He said he'd give it a try. Well, why would he have so much free time as to have a child? Even humans don't like having children anymore."
Min Zhichun casually added, "He doesn't have to have a baby, so of course he wants to have one just for fun."
"Okay, let's get back to the point. Should we destroy the experimental subject?"
He Xinmei clapped her hands to attract attention.
Feng Zhibei tried hard to recall the cause, process and outcome of the incident.
The reason was that they had taken back some disabled test subjects from other laboratories, but because their injuries were too severe, they could not be used in experiments and there was no extra place for them to live.
Experimental subjects are consumables, and almost all laboratories do not treat them as independent living beings.
Only Yan Chuxue's laboratory treats experimental subjects better.
Feng Zhibei didn't know what happened in the end, after all, he slept through the entire process.
Yan Chuxue felt very comfortable in his arms. It was natural for her to fall asleep in the arms of such a man who was a little cold but strong and resilient.
The result...
Feng Zhibei tried hard to recall.
In the end, those experimental subjects were not destroyed, but were put into a secret project. He did not know what the project was, nor was he interested in knowing.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.
From this point of view, the project to be launched should be the wilderness.
He glanced around.
A pure white room, with the same layout as all the laboratories.
But the difference is that in the corner, there are several glass containers containing a few small black pieces.
Feng Zhibei opened his eyes slightly.
Those chips were in the glass container.
Why does he have absolutely no memory of these things?
"...I've already said that we can destroy some of them, but not all of them." He Xinmei pulled He Yutong into her arms and looked at Min Zhichun. "And your child was among those experimental subjects. Don't forget."
"I don't have any children, so don't tie me down with human things."
Min Zhichun had a blank expression on his face. "They're already in so much pain. What's wrong with giving them a quick death? Is it really good for them to continue living in this state?"
"So I've already said that we'll destroy some of the damaged ones that are too severe, and transfer the others to new projects. Any questions?"
Seeing that another quarrel was about to break out, Jin Yu came out to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, let's discuss rationally, discuss rationally, don't quarrel..."
Poor He Yutong struggled to stick his head out under the care of his sister, his eyes confused and at a loss.
"Hey, Yan Chuxue, please say something, stop them from arguing."
Jin Yu was so angry when he spoke.
Yan Chuxue thought for a long time before finally saying, "I want to go back and take a nap with Xiaozhi."
"I'm..."
Jin Yu swallowed the curse words in his mouth, his face full of disappointment, "All you think about every day is sleeping, you might as well sleep yourself to death!"
Feng Zhibei shuddered when he heard this.
In the original future line, Yan Chuxue was indeed fast asleep.
He moved his body and turned his head towards Yan Chuxue.
"Hmm? Are you sleepy?"
Yan Chuxue tilted her head.
Feng Zhibei shook his head and stared at the other person's face.
At this time, Yan Chuxue was not as cold and expressionless as he was later. Now he was like a carefree little crow, with his red eyes very clear.
It's hard not to be moved when being stared at by such a pair of eyes.
What's more, he is now dressed like a pure male college student. He wears a pair of glasses on his face that is very similar to Feng Zhibei, his slightly curly black hair hangs behind his neck, and his ears are clean without earrings.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Zhibei didn't speak for a long time, which made Yan Chuxue a little worried.
"Nothing, I just think... you're pretty."
Facing such a face, Feng Zhibei was inexplicably moved and told the truth about what was going on in his heart.
There was deathly silence in the laboratory.
Jinyu facepalmed from behind.
...I really can't stay in this lab anymore!
He stood up angrily, "I'm leaving! You guys continue!"
Yan Chuxue was stunned by these words, and her eyes gradually wavered.
It took Feng Zhibei a long time to realize what he had just said, and a feeling of shame overwhelmed him.
His earlobe hidden behind his long black hair felt a little hot. He crawled a few steps outside, stood up, and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"I want to go check on those experimental subjects. Maybe they can still be saved."
A look of disapproval appeared on Yan Chuxue's face.
"No, you can't use more attributes anyway, don't look at it."
"Um?"
Feng Zhibei thought for a while before he understood the relationship between the two.
The other party may have thought that he was going to take a look at the future of those experimental subjects.
"No, I'm just going to take a look. I won't hurt myself..."
Looking at Yan Chuxue's gloomy face, he added: "I'll take a nap with you after watching it."
Yan Chuxue reluctantly agreed.
He Xinmei took He Yutong and left early, preparing to visit the newborn experimental subject.
Min Zhichun left the laboratory to find something to eat.
Feng Zhibei originally wanted to take a look at Ji Ling when he was a baby, but he was afraid that he would crush him to death.
"... Never mind. It's not too late to go later."
He whispered to himself.
Yan Chuxue, who was holding his hand, didn't hear clearly and frowned, "What did you say?"
Feng Zhibei looked up, revealed a somewhat cunning expression, and squeezed his hand.
"Now that we're here, take me to see the newborn experiment. I've never seen anything that tiny."
Yan Chuxue was a little unhappy, "Didn't we agree to take a nap first... What's so good about it? The child is like a monkey, with wrinkles all over his body and no hair. He is so ugly."
"Was I this ugly when I was a kid?"
Feng Zhibei continued speaking along with what he said.
Yan Chuxue shook her head, "No, you are me...you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
He gestured with his free hand, "When you came out of the culture medium, you were already this big, like a kitten... Well, you haven't seen a cat before, but they're really cute creatures in the human world. Humans all like kittens, so I like you too."
Feng Zhibei suddenly realized that Yan Chuxue seemed to have ill intentions towards him at this time.
He looked at the tall man with an expression that was hard to describe. "It's better that you didn't have this idea when you were as young as me."
Yan Chuxue was stunned for a moment, "What am I thinking?"
Feng Zhibei took a deep breath and said, "Nothing. Take me to see those experimental subjects first."
At this time, Yan Chuxue had not yet entered the human world, and her understanding of human emotions was limited to the desire for closeness and affection.
...Forget it, let’s not think about this for now.
The two walked through a long, all-white corridor, and at the end, a huge, locked white double door appeared in front of them.
Yan Chuxue placed her finger against the center of the door, and with a click, the door slowly opened from both sides.
"It's right here... Tsk, why is it so cold? I'll give you some clothes."
After Yan Chuxue finished speaking, she was about to take off her coat, but was stopped by Feng Zhibei.
He looked at Yan Chuxue with mixed feelings.
In fact, the temperature here is just slightly lower, which is nothing to him, but Yan Chuxue's own temperature is not high, and she is extremely sensitive to changes in external temperature.
...Even though he was feeling cold, he still took off his clothes to give to others.
I really don’t know what to say.
Feng Zhibei tidied his coat before walking into the house.
At the end of the pure white space, the floor sank and the sound of flowing water came from the bottom.
"This is my first time here too, but I heard from Min Zhichun that they...are not in good condition. They might look a little scary. You..."
Feng Zhibei interrupted him, "It's okay, I know what's going on."
Yan Chuxue was a little confused. Why was the weak boy behind her a little different today?
Feng Zhibei walked closer to the sunken area step by step. His footsteps echoed in the empty and silent space.
Something was swimming at the bottom.
"They are from another lab, and their experimental project is aquatic."
Yan Chuxue's voice came from behind.
"Unlike our virtual project, the aquatic project is a bit... brutal. They want to cultivate fish-like experimental subjects that can survive and breathe in deep-sea environments for a long time, and use them to explore the deep waters of the Earth. I don't think this project is very useful."
Beneath the sinking floor, a raging river emerged.
A group of people were crowded together in the rushing water.
They all look very beautiful. After all, they are carefully selected experimental subjects and are excellent in all aspects.
But the dry and hollow eye sockets stood out on her beautiful and delicate face.
"Because it would take too long for them to adapt to the deep-sea environment and their eyes to naturally degenerate, the debuggers dug out their eyes."
Yan Chuxue's voice was a little heavy.
Their laboratories never take any action to actively harm experimental subjects.
Feng Zhibei carefully observed every person squeezed in the water.
Some of them looked familiar, perhaps they were genetic clones of someone.
Everyone's face was numb.
"Actually, I kind of understand Min Zhichun's thoughts..."
Yan Chuxue's voice became muffled again. "If I were like this, I would have committed suicide long ago. Living like this is no different from being dead. But if I really start destroying the experimental subjects, what will the future be like... I don't know."
He rested his head on the back of Feng Zhibei's neck and took a deep breath.
"I've been having a dream lately. I dreamed that one day you sank into the water and I couldn't catch you no matter how hard I tried. In the end, I was also sealed in a very dark place, and the cycle continued."
He murmured softly, "I'm really scared..."
Feng Zhibei remained silent, patting Yan Chuxue's shoulder as a comfort. "No, there won't be such a future. I will always be with you."
He turned his gaze to the group of people below.
If his guess was correct, these should be the things he had encountered in the copy before.
It has no eyes, its whole body is swollen and white from not seeing the sun for many years.
Feng Zhibei squatted down, "So why did it come to this time... and where is the real thing?"
As if in response to him, the crowd below rolled up several layers of water.
Yan Chuxue pulled him up and said, "Don't get too close. Go back first. This matter will eventually be resolved."
Feng Zhibei originally wanted to refuse, but his vision suddenly shook for a moment.
He realized something and reached out to hold Yan Chuxue's hand tightly, but an invisible force separated them.
"no……"
The vision gradually distorted, Yan Chuxue's figure began to melt, and the entire space was crumbling.
When Feng Zhibei woke up again, the scene had completely changed.
He opened his eyes and moved his body slightly, then heard a hoarse growl from above his head.
"Don't move."
“……?”
Feng Zhibei looked up and met Yan Chuxue's red eyes.
Yan Chuxue's appearance at this time has obviously changed. She is no longer so similar to Feng Zhibei. This should be the result of fine-tuning.
His eyes are inherently red, but when he gets excited, the whites of his eyes will also turn red, making him look very crazy.
"Why...why did you come here? I've already found the best future for you..."
Feng Zhibei was hugged tightly in his arms, and vaguely recalled this scene while suffocating.
His face darkened and his hands tightened.
This is the scene when he broke into the laboratory alone.
He pushed Yan Chuxue away with all his strength, raised his head and looked at her, "Calm down for a moment, you're hurting me."
Yan Chuxue panted rapidly and slowly let him go after a long time, but her arms were still loosely around Feng Zhibei.
"...How did you get here?"
Feng Zhibei thought about what he had done at that time, and took out the things in his pocket.
"Here, I came here using this."
Yan Chuxue hesitated.
The other person was holding a half-broken glass bone pendant.
"...I left this so I could come over to see you, but I didn't expect you to come over here..."
He leaned his head forward, as if wanting to rest it on Feng Zhibei's neck, but he finally restrained himself.
Feng Zhibei sighed, raised her hand to touch the back of his head, and pressed his head towards her.
Yan Chuxue's pupils trembled, and after a slight struggle, she obediently buried her head.
"I just missed you...I came to see you."
Feng Zhibei ran his hand down his back to soothe him, but his eyes were deep.
He knew very well that this was not reality, because the direction of reality was completely different from now.
At that time, I broke into the laboratory, and after remembering everything, I became confused and questioned Yan Chuxue.
Yan Chuxue pulled him into a small space, left a mark on him, and then erased all his memories.
Feng Zhibei's gaze turned to Yan Chuxue's ears.
There were rows of earrings there now, some of which were slightly bleeding and swollen.
Yan Chuxue told him at the time that this was to keep him awake for a long time and not let him forget everything he had experienced.
"So, in order for me not to forget, I asked you to pierce my ear as well..."
Feng Zhibei closed his eyes and slowly stroked Yan Chuxue's back.
But he didn't expect that Yan Chuxue's authority had increased a lot over the years, and she could even completely erase a person's memory.
Yan Chuxue gradually calmed down. He took the initiative to move away from Feng Zhibei and was silent for a moment before speaking.
"The lab is very dangerous now. Everyone has changed, and the direction of the entire experiment has changed... Please go back, please go back. I beg you."
Feng Zhibei: "What about you? What are you going to do after I go back?"
Reason told him that he should find a way to escape quickly, find the backstage and insert the chip.
But he couldn't help but ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
Yan Chuxue fell silent again.
In the small space, only the breathing sounds of the two people could be heard.
Feng Zhibei felt inexplicably irritated. "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I'm leaving... Ugh!"
He was pressed hard against the wall, and his shoulder blades hurt a little.
The soft lips were bitten, and the teeth collided with each other, making a slight sound.
The taste of blood filled the tip of the tongue.
Feng Zhibei's pupils were shaken.
Why did things develop to this point?
But his brain, which was somewhat deprived of oxygen, was unable to think, and excessive saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, mixed with a hint of blood-red color.
Yan Chuxue's kiss was very unskillful, she could only suck and bite him simply, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
"Uh-huh……!"
Feng Zhibei felt pain from the kiss, but a strange pleasure surged into his brain.
In this deep suffocation, he despairingly discovered that he seemed to be a pervert.
Yan Chuxue kissed her fiercely, and the subtle sound of water filled the entire space.
"Uh-huh...you first...! Let me go... "
Feng Zhibei pushed the other person away and took a deep breath.
After this kiss, both of them were exhausted.
...Surprisingly, no one knew how to breathe while kissing. They could be called a bunch of noobs just pecking at each other.
Feng Zhibei rubbed his mouth, and a tingling sensation came from his tender lips.
His lips were a little red and swollen, and Yan Chuxue's were almost the same.
"...Can you answer me now?"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Yan Chuxue.
Yan Chuxue was still panting. For the first time, he felt his body getting a little hot, so he unbuttoned two buttons of his white coat.
The snow-white chest was exposed, and the atmosphere became even more subtle.
"I'm going to personally enter the game and find the balance."
He spoke somewhat stiffly, probably because he pulled the wound on his lip, and raised his eyebrows.
"The game has already started. I can't stop them from dragging innocent people in. I can only install some protection patches in the background... The conditions for logging out are very harsh, and almost no one can do it, so I plan to plant some mines in the game."
Yan Chuxue raised her hand and spread out her palm.
A strange puzzle piece appeared on it.
"When all the pieces come together and plug into the core backstage of the wilderness, this can be stopped."
Feng Zhibei stared at the puzzle piece and suddenly realized that it was made up of small chips.
"To prevent Ji Ling... that little experimental subject, you've probably never seen him grow up. He's now the core of the entire wilderness project. To prevent him from finding these mines, I can only bury them deep down, little by little, and retrieve them once I enter the game."
Only then did Feng Zhibei understand why the other party kept entering the dungeon and did not give up even after dying once.
"But I don't actually want to save them."
Yan Chuxue looked at Feng Zhibei deeply and stroked his cheek with her hand.
"I want you to live in a carefree world from now on, without experiments or pain..."
“This is the right future.”
Feng Zhibei felt the cold touch on his cheek and raised his hand to cover the back of the other person's hand.
"I know. I came here to take you to the right future... We will all live well, so rest assured."
The surrounding scene gradually became distorted, and Yan Chuxue's eyes finally froze at the most affectionate moment.
Then the entire scene collapsed, revealing a gloomy and dark space.
The silk thread wrapped around his knees, rubbing them gently.
"It seems like something has been triggered, but it's okay, please move forward."
"What lies ahead is the absolute truth."
The author has something to say:
