Chapter 122
If we were to use two words to describe the expressions of the little dumplings at this moment, they would be confusion and helplessness.
Canary's fingers clinging to the door frame loosened slightly.
Only then did he realize that the iron door frame had been deformed by him, but now he had no time to pay attention to such a trivial matter. He subconsciously looked at the scale viper with the other dumplings.
The first one to arrive at Wen Xin's house was Dumpling One, followed by Scaled Viper.
The later dumplings saw that they were all in disguise and assumed that Wen Xin did not know their identities, so they followed suit.
The little green snake was no less confused than the other dumplings. It seemed that it was so shocked that it even forgot to receive the signal.
Half of the snake's bright red tongue was hanging outside, and its two pupils were slightly widened, making it look a little silly.
Wen Xin actually knew?
Did you know it when you first met?
It is extremely embarrassing and humiliating for snakes to be discovered by a human.
But the young man's gentle smile kept appearing in the Scaled Viper's mind, turning all its embarrassment into deeper confusion.
——If Wen Xin knew their identities from the moment he met them, why was he never afraid?
Indeed, Wen Xin can now remain calm even when facing a catastrophe.
But a long time ago, young people who had not experienced any hardships would rub their fingers nervously even when talking to strangers. How could Wen Xin have such courage at that time?
The scale viper seemed to be trapped in some kind of demonic barrier.
It jumped off the canary's arm, changed itself into a small size like an earthworm, and in a few seconds it slipped through the gap in the back door.
The little snake was very fast and the other dumplings had no time to stop it.
One of the abilities of the scale viper is that it has a soft body and can change its size at will. The canaries can't cheat like this, but they are unwilling to just stay outside and eavesdrop.
Suddenly, the light bulb on the blue walrus's head lit up, and it waved its fins and gestured to the little fox.
The little fox quickly realized that the blue group wanted him to use illusion to change everyone's perception so that Wen Xin would not discover them.
The little fox hesitated: Isn't this a bad idea?
The blue group shook their heads: I want to know the content of the prophecy, this is very important.
It is said that there are several ancient and mysterious bloodlines among the sea people. As early as when he was in the first base, the little fox had heard the legend of the blue whale. Precognition is a unique ability of the sea people.
It hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
The illusion is cast silently.
Snap, squeak—
The back door was pushed open, and the other people in the conference room were looking intently ahead, and sure enough, no one noticed their whereabouts.
The dumplings crept in, and Canary stayed at the end, carefully closing the door with the lightest force.
Click.
Even when they were preparing to escape from the First Base, they had never been so nervous.
Canary supported Xiao Ruo's pounding chest, turned around, and suddenly met Wen Xin's gaze as deep as a lake.
...He almost turned around and rushed out.
Fortunately, one of his subordinates noticed Wen Xin's pause and asked in confusion: "Sir? What happened?"
Wen Xin stared at the back row of the seemingly empty conference room, feeling somewhat confused. He seemed to sense several prying gazes?
"Everyone wait a moment."
Out of prudence, Wen Xin stopped the meeting, walked around the back row, opened the door, and looked out into the quiet corridor.
Except for the patrolling guards, no other people or creatures were seen in the corridor.
Wen Xin suppressed his suspicion and shook his head at the alert people: "It's okay, I must be overthinking."
He turned around and didn't see a few people huddled in a corner like quails, their bodies pressed against the wall, not daring to breathe.
The scaled tree viper was hiding well, and it didn't expect a few dumplings to swagger in. Not only did they come in, but they almost attracted Wen Xin's attention, and it gritted its teeth in annoyance.
Wen Xin seemed to sense something again. He stopped and looked back in confusion.
This is too sensitive!
The little green snake shuddered, shut its mouth, and curled itself into a quiet ball.
The meeting continues.
Wen Xin gestured to the meeting recorder, calling out the loudmouthed person who saw the future, "Repeat the details of what you saw."
After Wen Xin's rebuttal, the loudmouthed man was obviously much weaker. The suspicious looks from others also made him feel uneasy: "If you really... then I, I might have seen it wrong."
“No, you may be right.”
There were countless puzzled looks from below.
Wen Xinna Tang gave an example: "I have a good friend who used to dream about events that had not yet happened. Later, when all the details overlapped, he was surprised to find that he might have predicted the future."
The loudmouth was a little surprised: "He is also a predictor?"
"It cannot be confirmed, and there are many discrepancies between the future he saw and reality," Wen Xin said. "Excluding coincidence, I now have two guesses."
"My first guess is that what you see is the future, but it is not the future we are in. In physics, there is a concept called parallel universes, which encompass all of our people, objects, phenomena, and natural development trends, but because of a different event in history, they are heading towards a different future."
"In brief, what you are seeing is the future of another time and space."
There was a great noise at the conference table, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "What is the second possibility?"
Wen Xin: "The second guess is that there is no such thing as a parallel universe. Those things that happened in the future are real, but someone turned the tide and changed everything."
What?!
Compared to the first guess, the second one sounds more terrifying.
Is it possible to change the future? If so, how powerful would that person be!
"How is it impossible?" Wen Xin bluntly broke their lucky mentality, "The appearance of zombies and mutants, the emergence of superpowers, and the endless emergence of various extraordinary abilities, this world is no longer the one we are familiar with. Even the most absurd things are likely to happen!"
"We must consider all possible scenarios as comprehensively as possible so that we are not caught off guard when unexpected events occur."
Wen Xin's voice had a firm and peaceful power, which calmed the slightly panicked people very well.
People began to discuss these two possibilities, and gradually raised more possible questions.
When the discussion gradually died down, the predictor, at Wen Xin's suggestion, slowly repeated the future scenes he had seen.
"...I saw Dr. Anzi from the First Base fall into a trap and die at the hands of a walrus. As the person responsible for receiving Dr. Anzi, you failed to protect him and were falsely accused of being the mastermind of treason and surrender to the enemy. You were released a dozen days later due to insufficient evidence."
I was speaking loudly and excitedly just now, and my words were incoherent. Now that I have calmed down, I suddenly remembered a lot of scenes that I had overlooked.
He went on to say that the unexpected death of the walrus had caused a subtle change in Wen Xin's mentality. The young executive had always been an iron-blooded person, and he had become even more ruthless in his actions since then.
Then there were vague rumors among the mercenaries that Dr. Anzi's death that day was a false one and he was still alive and well in the First Survivor Base, and many people had seen his traces.
Meeting Wen Xin's calm and composed gaze, he paused and said, "As I said before, you were very excited when you learned about this. It was also at this time that many 'animals' came to you one after another."
"Foxes, cats, birds, squirrels, and a little panda. They all appeared in front of you in a soft and harmless manner with scars all over them. When you saw their serious injuries, you immediately felt compassion and took them back for treatment. However, you didn't know that those wounds were caused by themselves in order to deceive your sympathy."
The little walrus didn't expect that he would be the first to die, and was stunned for a moment.
I don't know why, but when I listened to the loud-voiced man's subsequent narration, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness and almost cried.
The other dumplings gnashed their teeth, wanting to shout back: Impossible, if Wen Xin already knew about the existence of mutants, then what reason would they have to deceive each other!
The future footage was not comprehensive. The last scene that Loudspeaker saw was Wen Xin leading the survivors who had suffered greatly in the disaster to attack the First Base.
The battle seemed to be extremely fierce, with many people killed. The roar of dinosaurs and the roar of thunder could be faintly heard.
Wen Xin fought desperately and finally seized the opportunity and died together with the resurrected Dr. Anqi.
"The cat turned into a giant green python, the bird turned into a meter-high eagle, the fox's fur turned pink, the squirrel turned purple, and the baby walrus also turned purple, and they rushed over to you when you fell."
The loud voice said in a sad voice: "You said the last words before you died."
"You said - 'So this is what you look like.'"
There was a sudden sharp pain in the scale viper's brain.
In a trance, it seemed to see a thin and straight figure swaying twice in front of it, and then slowly falling into a pool of blood.
Those deep and cold eyes, which seemed to be filled with deep thoughts all the time, seemed to be particularly clear because they had completed their mission, with a smile that seemed to be a little surprised.
【So this is what you look like. 】
The young man stretched out his hand, his fingertips had lost their color, turning white and transparent, and they gently fell on the boy’s forehead like a feather.
[What a handsome snake! Why don't you dare let me see it? ]
The scale viper seemed to be wrapped in fear all over. It dared not move or speak. It felt like a vicious thorn was stuck in its throat, and even the tip of its tail was shaking with pain.
It stared at the young man's pupils, which were gradually dimming and turning gray. Its mind was filled with madness and confusion, as if it could hear its heart screaming at the top of its lungs -
Don’t die! Don’t die! Don’t die!!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex perched on the top of the Municipal Building suddenly opened its eyes.
The scale viper was about to fall into a state of rage due to its fantasy, but it was as if hit on the head. It groaned and came to its senses.
The first moment it woke up, the little green snake looked around without thinking and found that the situation of the other dumplings was not much better than its own.
The dumplings seemed to have seen the same scene of Wen Xin's death. Their faces looked extremely ugly and they looked at the young man in front of them in panic.
Fortunately, Wen Xin was standing in front of them alive, breathing steadily and in good health.
Wen Xin's methodical analysis came from the front: "The future you predicted does not match the current situation, but there are some clues to follow."
"For example, why am I so determined to go against the First Base, and why are so many people willing to follow my lead and decide to attack the First Base?"
You must know that the First Base is the main force in attacking the zombie virus. People's hope of survival all depends on the First Base.
Even if people later knew that all the evils were caused by the First Foundation, considering the increasingly difficult living conditions, many people would choose to be tolerant and compromise with the First Foundation again and again.
Unless the First Base does something later that makes everyone willing to risk being infected by the zombie virus rather than endure it any longer.
Wen Xin: "Secondly, so many S-class mutants disguised themselves and approached me, which means they are very confident that I, or the survivors I lead, have the ability to eliminate the First Base."
The result of this prophecy was first to issue a warning: the First Foundation might have a hidden agenda that would once again cause a stir in the world.
Later, a seemingly clear solution was pointed out: the mutants were powerless against the First Foundation, and the human race also hated and resented the First Foundation.
Neither of them can do anything to the First Base, but if they join forces, they will have a chance to defeat this powerful enemy.
The price is that Wen Xin is very likely to lose his life in this battle.
…
At the end of the meeting, no one was able to make any progress.
They united all of humanity to attack the First Foundation, and they also teamed up with mutants. It would be a laughing stock if they told others about it. The survivors who hated mutants but believed in the First Foundation would only insult them and call them stupid.
The person with the ability to foresee the future cannot share the images with others, who might accuse him of making things up.
Fortunately, Wen Xin had a clear mind and analyzed the possible situations that might occur.
Wen Xin made the decision: "Send some more elite personnel to find out if there are any unusual movements in the First Base recently."
The subordinates responded respectfully.
After the meeting, Wen Xin looked towards the back row again as if he had realized something.
The dumplings had already left, so he naturally didn't notice anything.
He shook his head, thinking that he might really need a good rest. He walked out of the conference room, glanced around casually, and suddenly stopped.
I saw that the originally straight iron door frame was distorted, and there were two clear fingerprints left on the iron sheet.
Wen Xin roughly drew a line along the finger prints, pondered for a moment, then walked out and waved at the pitch-black beast.
"Have A-Lu and the others been here?"
The Tyrannosaurus readily fell beside the young man, hugged him from behind, and hummed dully.
"How true is the prophecy you are discussing?"
"What's wrong?" Wen Xin smiled and patted his head. He was not surprised that Yuan Yanzhong knew the content of the meeting. "Didn't you say that prophecies can't be taken seriously?"
"Tang Qi had dreamed that he would die in the arena, but he sent me a letter a while ago to let me know that he was safe and that he had found a beautiful and lovely girlfriend, and asked me to wait for the wedding."
Yuan Yanzhong buried his face in his shoulder, still unhappy, and suddenly asked, "What is a girlfriend?"
"..." Wen Xin's first reaction was surprise.
Girlfriend is not an uncommon word. Has Xiao Hei never learned its meaning?
He thought for a moment and explained, "It's someone who is likely to become my wife in the future."
Yuan Yanzhong asked again: "What is a wife?"
Wen Xin wanted to say that a wife is a wife and a partner, but he was afraid that Yuan Yanzhong would continue to ask what a wife and a partner were.
He simply explained it with his own concept: "It means making a contract to accompany each other hand in hand until the end of life, and to be the only one for each other in love."
Yuan Yanzhong was very positive and drew inferences from this: "So I am your wife?"
"..." Wen Xin turned her head to look at him in astonishment, "Why do you think so?"
Yuan Yanzhong took out the pistol that Wen Xin had given him and said, "This is the contract we made."
"I will always be by your side, monitoring your character, and if you need my help, I am the person most likely to be with you for the rest of your life."
Wen Xin listened to his serious words and was puzzled: "But we are not in love."
Yuan Yanzhong raised his eyebrows and asked with his eyes full of curiosity: "What is love? Can you teach me?"
The man's eyes were so hot that Wen Xin felt as if she was being burned.
He put one hand on the face that came out of the original rock, panicked for a moment, and said calmly: "I don't know, go back and look it up in the dictionary yourself!"
Soon, they returned home.
Wen Xin wondered how much the group had heard about the meeting, opened the door, and then saw an unexpected face.
"…Your Holiness the Pope?"
The young man in pink standing in the corridor looked up at Wen Xin, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Warm and sweet."
He bit his lower lip, as if he had made up his mind with great difficulty, and retorted in a hoarse voice: "Don't call me the Pope."
"Call me, Xiao Qi."
