189 Cooperation
◎Happy cooperation◎
The first anomaly was not a deserted village, but an anthill.
Huo Wenxi discovered an alien species in Yixue, which was also the first time that an environment similar to that outside the wall was discovered in Area 103.
From that time on, it was foreshadowed that the environment inside the wall was converging with that outside the wall. It was also at that time that the abnormal incident team intervened for the first time.
After the deserted village, Zhu Ning proposed the concept of non-natural humans, and various doubts made Huo Wenxi fall deeper and deeper.
"I want to meet the top management." Zhu Ning said at the time that she wanted to meet the highest level of management she could contact at the cleaning center.
Zhu Ning achieved his goal.
Then Bao Ruiming's consciousness was in the cloud. Zhu Ning knocked on Huo Wenxi's door, borrowed her bathtub, and asked Huo Wenxi to be her guardian.
In return, Zhu Ning brought back accurate news, saying that there were only nine days left before the end of the world.
The nine-day countdown forced Huo Wenxi to take radical action. She carried out a screening in the lobby of the cleaning center and really saw the full picture of the unnatural human beings.
But at that time, Huo Wenxi was not shocked because he was mentally prepared.
Unnatural humans appear in the cleaning center, and the situation is turbulent and chaotic.
But that was Huo Wenxi's last chance to exit safely. The Huo family warned her to give up immediately and return to her family.
She chose to be exposed to the truth.
Zhu Ning didn't just drop a hot potato, she dropped a bomb.
Huo Wenxi lost one eye. This was the price Zhu Ning paid for luring her into the trap.
Facing Huo Wenxi's question, Zhu Ning said expressionlessly, "It's me."
Huo Wenxi tightened his hands on the table. Zhu Ning admitted it easily without any concealment.
Huo Wenxi asked: "Is Yixue also you?"
She went to Yixue to clean up the mess, but she couldn't find out who was responsible for purifying the polluted area.
Zhu Ning: "It's me."
Huo Wenxi: "Mechanical Oceanarium, what did you do?"
Zhu Ning: "I brought out a transparent person. You just saw it."
Zhu Ning guessed that the person who came to the Noble Queen Store was Huo Wenxi, but she did not hide Lin Xiaofeng. Instead, she let her take a look at the red hat floating beside her.
Huo Wenxi: "What's the purpose of bringing her out?"
"No intention," Zhu Ning said, "I think she's cute."
No matter what Huo Wenxi asked, Zhu Ning answered fluently, as if he didn't need to think.
The deserted village, ant school, and mechanical oceanarium all have answers.
Huo Wenxi once wrote down these events on his whiteboard. In Zhuang Lin's view, these events were unrelated, but in Huo Wenxi's view, they were related, and as long as one was solved, all of them could be solved.
Huo Wenxi's intuition was correct, but she didn't expect that it was Zhu Ning himself who linked the events together.
Huo Wenxi looked at Zhu Ning again. She had supernatural powers before, and when she looked at people, she was more concerned with judging how dangerous they were.
The supernatural power temporarily lost its effect, and Huo Wenxi was able to use the most primitive ability of human eyes to see a person.
Zhu Ning was wearing home clothes, a discounted model with a pineapple printed on her chest. From the outside, she looked like she had nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes, as if she was just an ordinary employee.
But Huo Wenxi knew that she was not ordinary, and the first time he met her was to observe her.
With an extremely high S+ level spirit value, he is a high-level talent that can be specially inspected by the cleaning center headquarters.
Zhu Ning doesn't have to rely on anything, cigarettes, alcohol, dark dreams, or any kind of injections.
In this increasingly insane era, Zhu Ning's mental stability is frightening.
Huo Wenxi asked: "When did you know?"
This was the most interesting question Huo Wenxi had asked today. Zhu Ning thought about it and said, "It's a little hard to answer. It's both early and late."
Zhu Ning knew it a year ago, but she only found out yesterday, not much earlier than Huo Wenxi.
Huo Wenxi himself was an intuitive type, a similar talent to precognition, and asked, "Do you have prophecy?"
"That's so clever, Team Leader Huo," Zhu Ning said, "I've had that before."
What was once, means what is now lost.
The gift of foresight is a god-level talent, and Zhu Ning was once close to being a demigod.
Huo Wenxi asked: "What do you want to do?"
It was a huge monster, and humans did not dare to regard it as their enemy.
Zhu Ning: "Stop everything."
She died thousands of times for this goal. The first generation Zhu Ning eliminated her individual will, and they paid too much to stop it.
Huo Wenxi: "How are you going to stop it?"
She once made an analogy, saying that Zhu Ning was like the boss of a startup company, and Huo Wenxi was the unlucky angel investor who invested in her.
Now she wanted to hear Zhu Ning's plan.
Zhu Ning answered without reservation: "Bao Ruiming said God descended, he didn't mean awakening."
Before going to bed, Zhu Ning carefully counted all the clues in his hands. Regardless of whether the thing below could be called a god, Bao Ruiming kept repeating these two words. He said that God was about to be born.
What does this mean? How does it happen? Does it require a medium?
"Bao Ruiming said there are still nine days left in the countdown," Zhu Ning said, "They need time to take effect."
The pollution outbreak at the cleaning center was such a big deal that the existence of non-natural humans was known to everyone.
They can no longer hide quietly in the crowd; their tracks have been exposed.
If the shit down there could really wake up anytime and anywhere, put yourself in their shoes and think about it: Zhu Ning is the villain. She planned a shocking secret, for which so many people lost their lives.
To be on the safe side, she might detonate it early in this situation.
But it has been quiet these days, and we may have to wait until the ninth day, and it is impossible to advance it.
Zhu Ning: "If you want to cause pollution throughout the entire region, there must be a core pollution source. I suspect that the so-called divine descendant is the pollution source."
The essence is still a game of finding the source of pollution, but this time the polluted area is the entire Area 103, and she needs to stop it before the source of pollution occurs.
Zhu Ning thought about it for a long time. Asking her to directly swallow the pollutants below was beyond her imagination. She guessed that what needed to be swallowed should be the core source of pollution.
Huo Wenxi listened quietly, Zhu Ning's speculation was reasonable.
Huo Wenxi clasped his hands together and asked, "Why did you choose me?"
Zhu Ning asked in return: "Can I ask a few questions?"
"ask."
Zhu Ning: "First, if an ordinary person suddenly learns of the apocalypse, how is she going to convince those around her?"
Under normal circumstances, she would be considered a lunatic. With the great social pressure, people are on the verge of mental breakdown. Zhu Ning might be forcibly sent for psychiatric treatment.
"Second question," Zhu Ning asked without needing Huo Wenxi to answer, "If I were to choose an important figure to share this information, who would I choose?"
Is it Xuanqing? Or other ministers of the cleaning center?
"Third question," Zhu Ning continued methodically, "If I had walked into your office a year ago and told you that District 103 was going to be destroyed, would you have believed me?"
Although Huo Wenxi has intuition, he may not really believe it.
It was too grand, and there was no evidence. If Zhu Ning had told her a year ago, she would probably have written it down, but she was busy with work, and even if she had written it down, it would probably have been quickly drowned out by the countless abnormal events to be dealt with.
Huo Wenxi had to see it with her own eyes and feel the horror and shock personally before she could take any action.
The answer is clear. Zhu Ning chose Huo Wenxi because he thought Huo Wenxi was suitable.
Huo Wenxi was not satisfied with this, and she asked again: "Why did you choose me?"
She didn't want to listen to the clear and logical analysis, she wanted to know what Zhu Ning was thinking.
Zhu Ning did not answer immediately. She looked at Huo Wenxi's intact left eye. Even though he had lost his superpowers and even though he only had one eye, Huo Wenxi still made people feel oppressive.
Zhu Ning once wondered whether the Huo family had known the truth long ago, but it seemed that was not the case, at least Huo Wenxi knew nothing about it.
Does Huo Wenxi long to know the true laws that govern the operation of this world?
All human land has been polluted, which means that the High Wall Project has failed. After the failure, why is there still a base of human survivors below?
What exactly do unnatural humans want to do?
These facts have been covered up by the aristocratic families. Doesn't Huo Wenxi want to lift the veil?
In this war between humans and pollutants, are humans fighting against pollutants or humans themselves?
Does Huo Wenxi want to live in ignorance or die in consciousness?
Huo Wenxi has come this far in this investigation, and only one step is left.
Zhu Ning didn't say any more high-sounding nonsense, "Because you and I are the same kind."
It is true that Huo Wenxi has privileges, but she is completely different from the chaebols or Bao Ruiming and his ilk.
The fact that Huo Wenxi appeared at the Noble Queen's Shop speaks volumes. Under normal circumstances, upon learning of the great danger below, Huo Wenxi would have already been on his way home.
Just like the Lu family who evacuated immediately at that time.
Huo Wenxi and Zhu Ning are of the same kind.
Huo Wenxi did not ask any more questions, and the room fell into a long silence. She looked at Zhu Ning, who once told her to trust her intuition.
But her special powers are no longer effective now, and all the external forces that could assist her have disappeared.
She was looking for a glimmer of hope for victory from Zhu Ning.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da——
The clock in the living room ticked forward, and every tick reduced the time by one second, which brought the disaster one second closer.
The luxurious time slipped away during their conversation, like sand flowing through fingers.
But this was necessary thinking time, they had to make sure that each other was trustworthy and, in this situation, above the pollutants, to form an unbreakable alliance.
Once you trust someone, you won't betray them. Once you join forces, you won't back down. If one person dies, the other will take over the gun in her hand and continue moving forward.
Don't collect my body, don't mourn for me, just move forward, keep moving forward.
This level of briefing was what they needed, so no matter what questions Huo Wenxi asked, Zhu Ning would answer them.
She could expose her secrets and show Lin Xiaofeng and Song Zhizhang to Huo Wenxi.
She could confess all her secrets, and if Huo Wenxi wanted to make things difficult for her, she would let him do so.
Sincerity is the best killer move, this sentence always works.
The ticking sound of the clock rang out, but time seemed to be frozen.
After a long time, Zhu Ning broke the silence and stretched out her hand.
It was a hand with distinct joints, and there were many calluses on the palm due to holding guns for many years.
After Zhu Ning extended his hand, Huo Wenxi didn't move at all. She sat there silently, as if she was still considering something.
Zhu Ning was not embarrassed. She did not back down, nor did she find an excuse to cover up herself.
She just stretched out her hand, which felt a little sore hanging in the air, while Zhu Ning was looking for her companions.
She invited Huo Wenxi to join her plan, invited her to change the course of history, and also invited Huo Wenxi to die.
There is no plan at all now, and even if there is, the plan will not be thorough. Whether it succeeds or fails, they will pay the price with their lives.
So she can wait slowly.
Finally, Huo Wenxi moved. She slowly took off her leather gloves and held Zhu Ning's hand with her own.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." said Zhu Ning.
Huo Wenxi said reluctantly, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
