366 Utopia (IV)
◎My name is Chen Qihang◎
Are first-class citizens the lambs kept in captivity? Humanity has truly gone further and further down the path of self-objectification. After objectifying lower-class citizens, they objectify themselves as well.
Huo Jinsheng: "This is humanity's last chance of survival."
The significance represented by Lu Yuan is extraordinary. The number of experimental failures far outweighs the number of successes. What they need is Lu Yuan's child. The ultimate goal of evolution is to allow humans to live in this world with human dignity and truly master the power of pollution.
After Huo Jinsheng finished his last words, the room fell into an eerie silence. The incense sticks had burned out, leaving only decay.
Huo Wenxi: "I understand now."
Huo Jinsheng handed over so many secrets just to convince Huo Wenxi. Huo Wenxi is very smart.
"I understand—" Huo Wenxi paused, looked into Huo Jinsheng's eyes, and slowly finished the sentence: "Su He."
Huo Jinsheng frowned, not expecting to hear such an answer. Huo Wenxi was smiling when he said this, but his intact eye revealed a coldness, or perhaps it was a murderous intent. Huo Jinsheng had never seen Huo Wenxi like this. After the commander learned the secret, the line of reason that he had always been proud of cracked.
Huo Wenxi and Su He are rivals, but only now do they understand their rivals' true positions. Su He was once the most loyal warrior of the Federation, and she once vowed to protect humanity forever.
Why did she rebel against the Federation? Why would the Resurrection Society rather let unnatural humans take over and demolish the walls of all human survivors' bases than continue to defend the ridiculous kingdom of God?
In terms of the concentration of human nature, it is hard to say whether humans or non-natural humans are more humane.
How are they different from the recovery?
An impulse surged in Huo Wenxi's heart, and as she thought about it, her eyeballs swelled and hurt, as if they were about to burst.
Huo Wenxi felt the eye mask was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe. She touched the surface of the eye mask, then slowly took it off. The black eye mask fell on her thigh with a muffled sound.
Huo Wenxi raised her head, and the tentacles couldn't wait to break free from her eye sockets. She saw that Huo Jinsheng had become obviously alert, his brows unconsciously frowned, and the movement of turning the ring faster.
Huo Jinsheng was a little afraid of her, and when Huo Wenxi read this information, he was afraid of her eyes to be more precise.
Huo Wenxi asked: "My eyes are very important."
The tentacles in Huo Wenxi's eye sockets twitched as she spoke, making her look even more like a pollutant.
Huo Wenxi: "You care about this eye."
Huo Jinsheng was willing to reveal so many secrets in order to reassure her. She talked about the Lu family, Utopia, and the plan that the Federation had been preparing for decades, but she only briefly mentioned the role of the observer.
The Huo family's inheritance method is different from that of the Lu family. The observer's eyes are very important. Going to Area 103 was tacitly approved by Huo Jinsheng. Huo Wenxi has always been following the path arranged by the family.
Until the rebellion of District 103, Huo Wenxi deviated from the path, and Huo Jinsheng tried every means to get her back on track.
Her greatest value is her eyes. Huo Wenxi is not afraid of dying, at least not now.
Huo Wenxi asked, "Will Zhu Ning die?"
What Huo Jinsheng told her was history and inheritance. Despite such a huge amount of information and so many secrets, Huo Wenxi only cared about one thing.
Will Zhu Ning die?
The last time Huo Jinsheng gave her a choice, Huo Wenxi chose to take a gamble and no longer side with the Kingdom of God. Her biggest trump card was Zhu Ning, her ally. But now Zhu Ning was in Utopia. She wasn't the offspring of a superpowered being, but a mechanized creature, and didn't meet the conditions for Utopia's fertilization.
The old witch's intuition was stronger than his own; she must have predicted every possible path before taking action. Huo Jinsheng paused, twirling the ring. He didn't answer, but stared at Huo Wenxi. Even with the current state of medical care, her old eyes were already cloudy.
Huo Wenxi noticed some clues and asked, "Didn't you observe her fate?"
Huo Jinsheng still didn't speak, her eyelids were held up, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, which was a sign that she was unhappy.
Huo Wenxi was certain this time: "You didn't observe her."
She murmured to herself, almost wanting to laugh at this point. There were things that the old witch couldn't see, because Zhu Ning was still an ever-changing variable?
Huo Wenxi didn't care about Huo Jinsheng sitting opposite her. As if the old witch didn't exist, she began to predict Zhu Ning's fate. The ocean of consciousness unfolded before her eyes. She stood alone on the beach, facing the endless sea, listening to the rolling waves.
Nothing appeared.
She got nothing, so Huo Wenxi tried to change the candidate, such as Pei Shu, Bai Cheng or Lin Xiaofeng from their team.
Such a large-scale disaster could wipe out the entire group. As long as one person's fate is predicted, others can also guess it.
But no matter how you look at it, the fate of these people is very vague, as if they are in a Schrödinger state, neither alive nor dead. You have no idea whether they are dead or alive unless you open the box.
…
Utopia.
A large-scale suicide operation was taking place here, with people jumping into the crack one after another. Zhu Ning had long lost sight of Zhou Haiqing. Her body was swallowed up the moment she entered, without even the sound of bones breaking.
He was eating, and the humans remaining on the ground seemed to have their heads pierced by a straw, and their consciousness kept floating out.
Bai Cheng's main brain is not here, but for the first time he felt that his brain was being extracted bit by bit. He had to do something, otherwise it would be too late.
Their enemy was too great, and the only viable option was to leave.
Bai Cheng grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder with one hand and never let go. She was thinking about the escape route. Utopia must have a scope. This town is not large and the pollution power is limited. She just needs to escape from the affected area.
The outline of a small town was still faintly visible on the ground. The part they entered might be the city center. Normally, it would take at most ten minutes to run out, but now everyone's consciousness was distorted. The thought of leaving was extinguished as soon as it arose, and their ankles felt like they were filled with lead and could not be lifted.
Bai Cheng's hands dropped, her fingers clenched loosely. Trembling and terrified, she forced herself to relax, trying to sense the presence below. Her fingers trembled, and she could actually feel the corpse.
This town was very clean, with no corpses or car wreckage. Now Bai Cheng had found it. The corpses were piled up like a city wall, with leg bones entangled with cars. It was right under their feet, like an extremely horrific bloody grave.
Bai Cheng's eyes were heavy. Just as he was about to tell Zhu Ning the news, he suddenly saw that Zhu Ning had put Pei Shu down. Pei Shu, who had fainted, looked like a sack.
Zhu Ning's movements were somewhat mechanical under the influence of pollution, and he had to fight against pollution at every step.
She opened Chen Qihang's notebook.
It can increase the danger, but it will also increase the amount of information, and she can find the possibility of leaving through hints.
Bai Cheng frowned. She was about to die. In front of her were people committing suicide continuously, like dumplings dropped into a frying pan. Was it too late for Zhu Ning to look at the notebook now?
Zhu Ning didn't care about Pei Shu anymore and quickly untied the bandage. His fingertips felt as cold as ever.
The characteristics of the notebook remained unchanged from beginning to end. Zhu Ning was a little nervous when he opened it, fearing that it was an area that no one had ever set foot in, like the sky gate.
The notebook opened with a rustle. Zhu Ning looked at it nervously. She hoped that there would be no words on it. She hoped that the investigation team had been to this damn place before.
"My name is Chen Qihang, an investigator outside the Great Firewall..."
When Zhu Ning saw the familiar beginning, his mood was completely different, as if he saw an old friend writing a letter to him.
Yes, it really has. Many people may not have set foot in the Sky Gate, but Utopia is different. There are many investigators and pilgrims coming and going here, including Chen Qihang and others. This time I am writing as an investigator outside the wall.
Zhu Ning reads very fast, like a camera, and can finish a text in the blink of an eye.
"I'm lost nearby and separated from the main group. Where is this place?"
"I heard a strange sound late at night. It's hard to describe. It was like a living creature breathing or trembling slightly."
"I approached the place where the strange sound came from. It was a small town in a forest. It looked so clean, cleaner than any street in the Federation."
"It could have been a trap, but there was nothing I could do. I had no supplies. I walked into the town, but there were shops but no goods. I immediately wanted to leave."
"But my legs can't move, my mind is paralyzed..."
The following notes were extremely chaotic, almost like scribbles, and the next sentence was: "I'm going to die..."
The notes end here, and the recorder has died.
Zhu Ning couldn't help but want to curse. Chen Qihang didn't even leave, let alone guide Zhu Ning on how to leave. She had no time to mourn the dead and was completely chased by death.
But the notebook didn't stop. Another line of words appeared below: "My name is Chen Qihang, a bounty hunter..."
Why did it appear again? Was it another Chen Qihang recording? This was the first time Zhu Ning had seen this happen.
"This is a clean town. I can't help but want to go down there. It's very warm..."
Zhu Ning guessed that he was dead again. Reading the notebook this time was useless and just a waste of her time. She might as well think about how to delay her death.
Just when she was about to close the notebook, she found that the notes had not stopped, and characters emerged one by one. She turned another page. The place where the notebook was originally stuck was covered with black unknown stains. Most of the book could not be read. She had tried every way to open it before, but now she could easily turn it over.
"My name is Chen Qihang. I'm a pilgrim. My goal is to reach Utopia, where everyone is equal. I finally saw it..."
“…I feel like I’m going to die…”
Died again. Every time Chen Qihang died, it happened in the blink of an eye, but this time Zhu Ning did not try to close the notebook. The notebook was still writing, as if there was an invisible pen floating in the air. After one person died, another would pick up his pen and continue recording for him.
"My name is Chen Qihang. I'm an investigator. At the request of the Federation, I'm escorting experimental subjects to a mysterious experimental site. The subjects are all deformed, two boys, two girls, and four children."
"We lost two teams and four experimental subjects along the way. Three children died, and the remaining experimental subjects are dying."
"The subjects seemed to know what was going to happen. They screamed and yelled in fear before going in, especially the remaining little girl, who yelled at me to let her out, but it was useless. I was responsible for driving them in. Compared to the pollution outside, the seemingly peaceful town was actually more attractive."
"We waited outside the safe zone. After the experimental subjects entered, the female experiment survived and her deformities disappeared. I remember one deformed person originally had no face. The back of her head was where her face should be, her nose was on the back of her neck, and her eyes were on her thighs. But when she came back, she looked like a complete human being. It was a miracle. Was she cured?"
"The person in charge said it was just as expected, and the teammates weren't surprised either. They grumbled and said it had always been like this."
"I thought the experiment was about to end, but then the commander asked me to go into the town. He suddenly wanted to know what would happen to me after I entered. I became the new experimental subject, and I entered the town..."
The notes came to an abrupt end again, and Chen Qihang also died. Soon new notes were added.
"My name is Chen Qihang..."
"I'm an outsider investigator. Someone sent me some information, and I followed the team to a place called Utopia."
"People always underestimate the profession of scholars outside the wall, but those who can walk outside the wall are not ordinary people. We have our own life-saving skills, but this is still the most dangerous road I have ever walked."
"On this road, my best partner passed away, his body torn apart inch by inch. I couldn't stop him, I couldn't even bury his body, so I could only keep moving forward."
"I saw that small town, with its towering church spire. It looked so clean from afar, but once inside, the pollution disappeared. If my intelligence is correct, this location should be called a safe zone."
"There are traces of human activity nearby, proving I'm definitely not the only one here."
"The offspring of female mutants who enter will survive, while others will die. This is the prerequisite for me to obtain it."
"Exploring outside the wall, it's extremely important to have intelligence. I don't know who gave me the information, but I hope it's accurate."
"My goal is to understand what kind of creature this is, at least to get a clear outline. That person said that the notes I recorded under the name Chen Qihang would be read by future generations. I hope that's true."
"I was observing from the periphery, with my tent set up in a safe area. I felt like a biologist in the old world, when people could observe creatures up close like this."
"He is so gentle! I inexplicably have such outrageous thoughts, and even want to get closer."
"I recorded and observed outside the tent. He was like my friend. I could sense when He woke up and when He fell asleep every day."
"I think I've figured out what it is, but I need to go into the town to verify it."
"Excellent scientists must be in close contact with the objects they observe, even if the price is death..."
Gradually, Zhu Ning forgot about the crisis he was in and read one investigative note after another from Chen Qihang. How many Chen Qihangs had come to this place?
It seems as if Chen Qihang and his team have never given up exploring this area. They have been persevering and infecting the investigators. They have charged here again and again, leaving clues behind again and again, just like waves hitting the rocks again and again.
It seemed as if all these Chen Qihangs were still alive. At this moment, they were standing around Zhu Ning. There were men and women, old and young, with subtle differences in their occupations. They walked out of the wall and told her with their own voices what had happened here.
