Chapter 36
Wen Xin, a human who seeks death.
This thought came to everyone's mind, whether it was the little walrus who had become the king of the sea in the future, or the little walrus who was spying on the future through the memory of the blue whale.
There is no other reason.
The most chaotic period has passed, and humans and mutants have clearly divided their spheres of influence.
The mutants are cruel, domineering, and hate and despise humans.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to step into the mutant's territory.
The corpses piled high on the coast once a month are a warning and proof.
The little walrus raised his chin slightly and glanced at his subordinates.
Through the mental imprint, it can clearly feel the endless and dark evil growing in the hearts of its subordinates.
Some mutants even showed their sharp fangs and claws, growing at the young humans with ferocious faces.
The murderous intent is overwhelming, and wolves are lurking around.
If it were the humans before, they would have been frightened to the point of their legs going limp and stumbling to their knees.
And the young man in front of him could actually still stand there motionless, his back as straight as a poplar.
It really surprised the mutant.
But unfortunately.
This hint of surprise cannot overshadow the walrus's murderous intention towards humans.
The more relaxed the young man acted, the more the little walrus reminded him of the researchers.
When they stood outside the glass of the testing ground, admiring the mutants' collapse and pain from above, they were also calm and composed.
The little walrus just wants to tear the faces of sanctimonious humans apart.
But just as it was about to give an order, the young man faced it and shouted a name.
When the little walrus heard the name, it seemed as if a string of reason suddenly broke in his brain.
When it came to its senses, it had already pinned the young man to the ground, growing with a fierce look on its face.
"Human, how dare you mention him?"
"How dare you mention his name in front of me?!"
The young man mentioned a famous anthropologist.
It was that researcher who created mutants and countless inhumane experiments.
It was that researcher who allowed the zombie virus to spread, causing people to become homeless, and leading to the gradual extinction of human civilization in less than two months.
It was also that researcher who, after the truth was exposed and caused shock, curses and hatred among all mankind, still lived safely under the protection of the First Foundation.
The young man was in great pain as the little walrus pressed his neck and heart.
Even through his diving suit, the little walrus could feel the young man gasping in pain under his front flipper.
But almost at the same time, the young man's voice was heard.
Firm, calm, without even the slightest tremor.
"I'm not just mentioning him, I'm going to kill him."
The baby walrus has red eyes.
The opponent's force became stronger and stronger, and the young man curled his fingers uncontrollably.
Then he spoke again, his tone remained unchanged, and recounted what had happened not long ago.
"That man is not only the enemy of you mutants, but also a sinner of humanity. Even now, he has never stopped causing trouble."
"Under the angry appeals of countless people, the First Base finally carried out a criminal trial on him. The Ten Bases supervised the entire process, and more than 20 enforcement officers participated in it."
"However, within less than two days, seven of the 14 executive officers who originally voted in favor of the death penalty temporarily changed their decision, four chose to abstain, and the remaining two are nowhere to be found."
The young man said in a deep voice: "I am the only executive officer who has not changed his attitude throughout the trial and is still alive today."
"The First Foundation has numerous firearms that even you cannot resist. If you kill me now, you will never have the chance to kill your enemy again."
The young man uttered the last word clearly, and his breath was almost gone because he was on the verge of suffocation.
There is no need for dying humans to deceive themselves.
What's more, the other party's last words really hit the little walrus's sore spot.
The walrus coolly released the grip on the young man's front flipper.
It did not immediately believe the young man in front of it, because humans are notorious for their treachery among mutants.
It decided to listen to human plans first.
The young man took a quick breath and without pausing or resting, began to explain his plan.
Well-organized and interconnected.
It takes into account various emergencies and unexpected situations and is highly feasible.
I don't know how many times humans have reviewed, studied, and pondered in secret to ensure that the entire plan is flawless.
The little walrus was shocked.
It was almost about to agree.
But reason made its tone cold again, and it asked the most crucial question: "Why should I trust you? What if you change your mind halfway?"
“I didn’t have to come.”
The young executive looked up at it.
His gaze was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate the mask, pass through the water, and transform into a substantial force.
"I could have accepted the huge benefits offered privately by the First Base, and lay comfortably in my villa, with a group of servants serving me, eating gourmet food that sold at sky-high prices outside, and drinking red wine that could save hundreds of hungry people if a single drop of it was sold.
I came to your territory when I could enjoy these things, do nothing, and not worry about anything. "
Whether it was when the young man first arrived, or when he was threatened by the mutants.
Whether he was standing or being pressed hard to the ground by the little walrus.
His tone remained the same as always, like a rock standing still in the wind and rain, and it never changed.
"I came here alone, ready to die. King of the Sea Tribe, you can take a closer look."
"This is my determination and sincerity."
The future picture is not consistent.
However, from the cheers of the mutants and ordinary humans, the little walrus could judge that the plan should have been successful.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
About a day later, it heard that the young executive who came alone had been arrested and would be put on trial by the Ten Great Bases.
The charge was collision with foreign races to murder great scientists who had made outstanding contributions to mankind.
When hearing the news, several of his subordinates couldn't help but show distorted expressions.
"Humanity is sick?"
It has turned countless prosperous cities into devastated deserted towns, left countless harmonious and happy families homeless, and caused hundreds of millions of people to die for no reason.
After the incident, the researcher was even too lazy to disguise himself anymore. He not only studied mutants, but also became more interested in studying humans.
It is said that dozens or even hundreds of people are captured and thrown into the laboratory every day, but only a few survive.
Is this what you call making an outstanding contribution?
The little walrus also couldn't understand.
However, it has not had much contact with humans, so it is normal that it cannot understand.
In the days before the young executive's trial, the little walrus was reminiscing about the pleasure of killing the researcher with his own hands.
Until a few days later, the pleasure slowly faded away, leaving it with an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
For no reason, the little walrus began to recall the young man's firm voice.
It suddenly became curious and wanted to know whether the young man's voice was still as calm and peaceful when he was caught.
So the little walrus began to allow some humans to enter its territory.
These humans did not disappoint the public and brought it the news of the young executive.
There is a lot of confusing news.
During the nearly half-month trial, the verdict on the young executor was like a turbulent storm, with no final conclusion.
The other person's life seems to be hanging on a steel wire. Every minute and every second could be a death sentence.
The little walrus thought he should stay calm, after all, this was human beings' own business.
But the more it listened, the more annoyed it became.
This feeling of irritation became even stronger when I heard that extremists had sneaked into the prison and killed the young executive officer.
Humanity's walls are built strong, but their cells always fail.
On the eighteenth day, it was said that the roof was broken.
The rain flooded half of the cell, and there happened to be a circuit malfunction, so the power was almost out.
An idea suddenly occurred to the little walrus.
How about it sneak over to the human base and snatch the young executive officer away?
The more I think about it, the more excited I am.
Unfortunately, before the little walrus could carry out his plan to kidnap someone, the young executive was rescued.
There was no cell raid and reportedly no help from other officers.
After a stalemate lasting 25 days, the First Base Trial Court finally gave in and issued the final verdict.
——The evidence was incomplete and the young executive officer was not found guilty of colluding with foreigners and was released without charge.
The human who brought this news was extremely excited and trembling all over.
After saying this, he couldn't help wiping away tears, and said with red eyes: "Those who went to the court before could only last twelve days at most. It was really not easy!"
The little walrus probably understood that what he said was not easy.
On the day of the release of the young executive, the little walrus used a mimicry it had never used before and blended into the welcoming crowd.
It saw the young executive walking out of the dark prison with steady steps and a calm expression.
The sunlight from the sky spread across the earth, casting a faint golden glow on his thin and handsome facial features.
Amid the cheers and shouts of countless people, flowers and enthusiastic applause, the young executive officer resumed his position and gained more honor.
He looked at the excited crowd, smiled calmly, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
When the crowd had quieted down and there was no sound, the young executive clasped his five fingers together, raised them sideways on his shoulders, and made a gesture.
That was the oath gesture used when the survivor base was first established.
mean--
Human beings never give up.
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into an even louder roar.
They shouted the young executive officer's name and the oath they had taken, their faces flushed, their breathing quickened, and their faces streaming with tears.
It was a very dazzling scene.
The crowd's cheers continued even after the young executive officer got into the car and closed the door.
The little walrus was in the middle of it and was also breathing rapidly due to the hot atmosphere.
Without a second thought, it caught up with the young executive's car.
However, it was discovered that the car accelerated and circled several times before heading straight towards the hospital.
At the moment before getting on the car, the young executive officer's back was straight, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his face was pale but calm.
But when he got off the car, he was carried down on a stretcher.
Seeing the blood seeping out from the lining of the young man's clothes, the little walrus' heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Malnutrition, heart failure, multiple soft tissue injuries, abnormal nerve disorders in the brain, bone and joint damage...
When the inspection results came out, several of the young executive officer's men were furious and almost smashed the First Base Courtroom.
They quarreled for a long time.
The little walrus was unable to find an opportunity to approach the youth officer until the person was taken to the intensive care unit.
It wants to wait until the young executive wakes up, but it can't stay on human territory for too long.
I waited until late at night and had to turn around and leave with regret.
After this incident, the little walrus thought that he would never have any contact with the young executive again.
But it didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to find it again.
His arm was still in a plaster cast and wrapped with many white bandages.
Noticing the strange look in the little walrus' eyes, the young executive officer smiled and said, "I heard that you asked the fishermen about me before."
The baby walrus never tells a lie.
"Yes, so what?"
"Nothing."
The young executive officer came over, slowly sat on the rock beside it, and looked at it again.
"I just found that you don't seem to dislike me that much, so I came to seek an opportunity for long-term cooperation."
The little walrus looked up and said, "What is there for humans to cooperate with?"
The young executive officer smiled faintly: "Yes, there are many."
“Humans have hands and brains, which allow them to create many convenient tools and mix countless delicious ingredients.”
Without waiting for the walrus to retort, he pointed to the distant seashore and said, "Look, they seem to be enjoying it."
The little walrus suddenly felt something was wrong and looked in the direction of the young executive's finger.
It saw that its usually ferocious and powerful subordinates were now like children who had got new toys, happy and excited.
Some mutants grabbed the surfboards, and some grabbed the seaplanes.
A few others gathered around the grill, rubbing their front fins excitedly.
The little walrus' forehead was immediately filled with black lines: "Hey——"
As soon as the voice fell, the young man beside it said: "Perhaps, humans and mutants can become friends."
The little walrus froze.
The word "friend" was like a sharp thorn that instantly pierced its heart.
"friend?"
Recalling the little elk's eyes that were gradually becoming gray and cloudy, the little walrus's breathing became difficult and his face became very cold.
The young executive officer soon discovered that something was wrong with the little walrus.
But the other side's questioning came even faster.
"I've heard a rumor about you."
The little walrus looked at the young executive officer. "You were once captured and locked up in a private gladiatorial arena with hundreds of humans. It was full of crazy mutants and infected people. You were not given food or water for five days."
"Humans will die in three days without water. How did you survive?"
Hearing this question, the corners of the young executive's mouth straightened up inch by inch.
"There were more than 20 people who survived with you, but not long after, they committed suicide one after another because they could not bear the psychological pressure."
"Your best friend also died, why didn't you commit suicide?"
When the little walrus said this, there was actually a hint of disgust in his tone.
It just didn't notice.
The young executive officer also did not notice.
The relatively relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Staring at the young man's face, which was so tense that it was trembling, the little walrus felt several times that the other party would suddenly explode.
But in the end, people just took a deep breath, as if swallowing all the gaffes.
He raised his hand again to stop his angry subordinate who was about to draw his gun.
The young executive turned towards the sunlit sea and closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the dangerous past.
When he spoke again, his voice was still so calm and peaceful.
"It is because my life does not belong to me alone that I must continue to live."
The walrus's anger was like being blown away by a sudden gust of wind, and it gradually became unstable.
The young executive officer pinched his fingers and said, "My friend is Tang Qi, Tang from Chinatown, Qi from Qi Star. He is a very kind and righteous man."
"When I was about to die of thirst, he used the key to cut open his wrist, allowing me to survive and support others to rescue me."
"Before he closed his eyes, he said that he hated the apocalypse because it had taken away his beloved family and his favorite cat."
The young executive officer exhaled slowly.
He spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, and every word was like thunder out of the blue, with a deafening emphasis.
"Man-made disasters have turned into natural disasters, and in the face of natural disasters, human power is ultimately small and insignificant."
"But as long as I have one moment to breathe and one finger to move, I will do everything in my power to prevent similar tragedies from happening."
As he spoke, the young executive turned his head.
From the little walrus's perspective, the sun's afterglow shone down and fell into the other's eyes, which were solemn, yet clear, and sparkled brightly.
"This is why I persist in living till now."
After returning home that day, the little walrus' heart was pounding.
The young man's firm and calm voice kept lingering in his ears, keeping him awake for a long time.
Finally, he fell into a sleep in a daze, and dreamed of his little friend after a long absence.
But this time in the dream, the little elk was no longer covered in wounds.
Its fur is still shiny and its dark eyes are sparkling.
In the excited eyes of the little walrus, the little deer lowered his head and licked its forehead: "I couldn't hold on to the end, but you have to hold on."
The walrus baby opened his mouth.
It suddenly choked up.
"I swear, I will never, ever let them be like you again..."
.
The little walrus eventually became friends with the young executive.
The latter said it wanted to discuss cooperation with it, but it has not yet come up with any terms of cooperation.
The question is, I'm too busy.
Defense deployment, resource allocation, infrastructure construction... running back and forth between several bases, unable to stop.
The little walrus realized that being the king of humans has to deal with so many troubles.
The Youth Executive took it seriously.
He is not the king of mankind, and the little walrus cannot call him that to others, otherwise it will definitely cause a diplomatic incident.
The little walrus asked, "Then what are you?"
The young executive officer thought about it carefully and touched his nose: "Probably just an errand boy."
Later, the young executive brought the cooperation matters.
The content is clear and the text is simple and easy to understand. Little walruses can understand it by themselves.
It suddenly became alert and felt that managing humans was not so complicated and troublesome.
It was not until later that it saw the document handed to the young man by the executive officer's men.
Large amounts of text are densely packed together, the content is difficult to understand, and none of the three sentences have a key point.
Start with a greeting, say two greetings in the middle, and end with a long greeting.
The little walrus, who didn't understand human language very well, immediately frowned.
Seeing how tangled it was, the young executive burst into laughter.
The little walrus felt that he was being laughed at.
He almost made me turn into a puffer fish.
So the young executive officer ignored the smile and tried to coax it.
Hearing that gentle and patient voice, the little walrus slowly stopped being angry.
But it was still strange that the cooperation matters it received were different from the documents that young executives usually read.
The content is all there, but it's not that complicated.
The latter rubbed its head and said with a smile: "Because it is a privilege given to underage walruses."
Yes, the little walrus at that time was still a cub.
But after the blue whale left, none of the mutants under its command treated it as a cub, and attacked it openly or secretly.
Unable to bear it any longer, the little walrus beat them all up, leaving them with a mental scar, and only then did they calm down a little.
It had almost forgotten that it was still a cub, but it didn't expect to become a cub again here with the young executive officer.
The little walrus was stunned.
After a while, it lowered its head and looked at the young executive officer's finger.
One of them is crooked and the bones are not so natural.
After watching for a while, the little walrus suddenly stuck out its tongue and gently licked the young executive officer's finger.
A miracle happened.
The young executive felt a burning pain in his fingers, followed by the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
In less than a second, his twisted fingers returned to normal, slender and with distinct joints.
The young executive officer widened his eyes in surprise and looked at the little walrus.
The little walrus raised its front flippers and touched its throat.
"I had an injury here on my neck, but it healed after I regained my faculties."
The man and the walrus suddenly became close friends.
The little walrus doesn't want to be the king of the sea tribe because the mutants under him want to rebel against him.
Most of the time, it just wants to lie on the beach, pat its belly and take a nap, chew on shells when hungry, and bask in the sun when awake.
The young CEO didn't want to be an CEO, because an CEO has to deal with countless people, which is exactly what he is least good at.
Moreover, most of the people you have to deal with are old foxes with more tricks than sieves.
After becoming an executive officer, there was one thing that frustrates him: no matter how critical the situation is, he cannot show weakness.
Otherwise, if he panics, his subordinates will panic as well, and problems will definitely arise.
Hearing this, the little walrus' eyes were full of curiosity.
Looking at the young man's calm face as he described these difficulties, it was completely unable to imagine that he was afraid or panicked.
"Are you afraid of something, too?"
The young executive paused.
He didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but the little walrus kept looking at him with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, like my stern-faced subordinate."
He leaned close to the walrus's ear.
"After the apocalypse, my brother sent him and others to pick me up. They were a bit rushed, so they knocked me out and took me away."
The youth executive officer sighed: "It's really scary when it gets fierce."
As he was speaking, the subordinate who was said to be particularly terrifying came over to take over his shift and respectfully reported today's itinerary.
The little walrus took another look at the young executive's demeanor, which was calm and measured, without a single mistake.
Not only was he not afraid, but he also gave his subordinate a cold look after he reported the itinerary.
"I heard from others that E5 Avenue seems to be a little uneasy recently."
The young executive officer raised his eyes, showing his majesty without even getting angry.
"Is it that the original share of profits is no longer enough to satisfy their appetite, or should I take over my position as deputy CEO and let them take over?"
The subordinate turned pale and quickly denied it.
"Restrict your subordinates and don't go too far."
"Yes, yes."
Little walrus: “…”
Who is afraid of whom?
.
In the eyes of the little walrus, Wen Xin is a very strange human who likes to seek death.
The strange thing is that, even though it was itself that failed to survive the pain of evolution, the young executive acted as if it was his fault.
"I have read the research data that has been left behind. As long as we can resolve the negative emotions in your hearts, the evolution process will not be that difficult."
The young executive held the dying animal tightly in his arms. His calm voice became hoarse and unstable, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
"Why... don't you like those toys? Don't you like the food? Don't you like sunbathing? I just got a private sunbathing area..."
The young man bent his straight back, pressed his forehead against its face, and let out a broken sob.
"Why is this happening? Is it because I don't spend enough time with you..."
The little walrus was breathing weakly, whimpering and stretching its neck, trying to lick the young man's red eyes.
It said to the young man: It has nothing to do with you, it really has nothing to do with you. Since I met you, I have been very happy every day, extremely happy, and I no longer think about those painful things.
But it's too late.
In order to survive and become the king of the sea, its front fins are stained with countless blood.
Every time I sleep, I dream of many mutants and people staring at it.
It is not an innocent cub, it is a cub that has done all kinds of bad things.
Even if I die, it will be a worthy death.
But the little walrus also felt heartbroken when he heard the young man's suppressed crying and saw his hunched back.
It hurts so much that my soul is trembling.
If... I mean if...
If there is a chance, could I come to see you earlier?
When the time comes, we can bask in the sun together again.
…
The fragment of the future came to an abrupt end.
The little walrus at the bottom of the sea was in a daze and hadn't moved for a long time.
It suddenly felt its eyes getting warm, raised its head slightly, and shed a stream of tears.
Warm and sweet...
In an instant, a strong emotion crossed the long river of time, like a raging wave, and rushed straight into the little walrus' heart.
It sobbed silently, with only one thought in its mind.
—I am going to find Wen Xin, and I am going to find him now.
——I must find him.
But then I heard a blue whale shouting nearby.
"Why, how could... the future change?!"
The little walrus looked up blankly and found that the memory of the future in his mind was fading bit by bit.
Even the image of the young executive has become blurred.
Its eyes suddenly widened in panic, and it let out a series of heart-wrenching cries.
He hugged his head with his front fins, trying desperately to hold on to some memory of warmth and happiness.
Don't let me forget him, please, don't let me forget him!
Perhaps God really heard its plea.
The memories of the future in the little walrus's brain did not disappear, but they changed.
This time the future is as it wished.
It sensed Wen Xin's presence early on, and after being taken away from the base by the blue whale, it couldn't wait to rush to City G without even recovering from its injuries.
It was a sunny day.
The young man was walking on the street with a shopping bag in his hand, chatting and laughing with the canary next to him.
There was a hint of naivety and youthfulness on his face, and his voice was not so serious and deep.
But those eyes were gentle and clear, exactly the same as its vague memory.
The blue ball rushed over and hugged the young man's clothes tightly.
The young man was startled, and the canary next to him was even more frightened.
Canary: "Hiss, this is an A...Pah."
He almost let out the mutant's identity. Canary was so annoyed that she asked, "Where on earth did this brat come from?"
"Cub?"
The young man who was trying hard to pull out the blue ball was stunned for a moment.
He lowered his head and found that Blue Ball was shaking uncontrollably, so he handed the shopping bag in his hand to Canary, stretched out his palm, and gently stroked Ball's fur.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's safe here."
"It..." Canary hesitated, "Its home is not here. It must have run away from home."
The young man paused and whispered to Blue Ball: "Do you have an adult at home? Where is it?"
The blue ball only made cooing and purring sounds.
The young man curled his eyes helplessly when he found that the little ball was actually enjoying himself.
But he couldn't help but rubbed the other's head again.
"My dear, whose child are you?"
Lan Tuan raised his head when he heard the voice.
It saw the young man lower his head slightly, with a smooth chin line.
The sunlight hit the other's handsome cheek, creating a soft glow that was still so dazzling that Tuanzi couldn't take her eyes off it.
Blue Dumpling can't remember the future because the future has changed.
But at this moment, it still inexplicitly has an urge to cry.
Therefore, the claws held the young man tighter and were even more reluctant to let go.
"Gu."
Yours.
It's your cub.
