393. They have arrived in the Northland..."
"This is so disgusting." Qi Xueliu couldn't help but speak.
She actually didn't know where she was. She only knew that she was outside the wall. After leaving Zhu Ning, Qi Xueliu contacted Su He, and finally saw Su He in person after two weeks.
At that time, the defense wall on her body was stripped down to her calves, and she could basically move.
Su He didn't seem to be interested in her, so Qi Xueliu took the initiative to find her, wanting Su He to give her something to do.
But Su He didn't assign any tasks. Instead, he raised his eyes and asked, "What do you think is my reason for betraying the Kingdom of God?"
Qi Xueliu was startled by this question, thinking that Su He was testing her sincerity. The federal army often uses certain strategies when dealing with new recruits to test whether they are forever loyal to the Kingdom of God.
Su He asked again: "What is your reason for following me?"
As expected of Su He, he got straight to the heart of the matter after meeting without any false moves.
Qi Xueliu didn't dare to answer, and then Su He naturally told the truth about the Kingdom of God.
Qi Xueliu was initially surprised and admired the greatness of the ancestors who saved humanity, but later she became angry. When she heard Lu Yuan's part, she couldn't help but say, "Is this the kingdom of God we protect?"
She had dedicated her life to the island in the sky, pledging her allegiance to the Union and her life.
Imagine that your soul is trapped in the body of the queen bee. Lu Yuan is the new generation queen bee. Qi Xueliu can't imagine it, and feels disgusted every time she thinks about it.
Is the Kingdom of God going to establish a new world led by the Queen Bee? This would allow the Kingdom of God to continue its rule, without even requiring significant changes to the world's system.
"So your idea is to integrate the pollution of the whole world?" Qi Xueliu thought of the divine descent that happened in Area 103. At that time, Su He wanted to destroy the entire Area 103. After the collapse of Area 103, the other human survivors' bases would also be hard to escape.
Su He's actions are not justice at all. From the perspective of human civilization, they are extremely cruel. She went from one extreme to another.
To her, tearing down the wall might simply accelerate natural evolution. It's always been about survival of the fittest, so why should resources be expended to protect the people of God?
As long as the walls disappear, the laws of nature will select those humans who are truly fit for survival.
If the world is bound to be destroyed sooner or later, then Su He is only accelerating its destruction.
"It's fair to some extent." Su He said lightly.
As long as there are not enough resources, there will always be conflicts among humans, and there will be no end to it.
Qi Xueliu could not refute it. After pollution and humans completely coexisted, all creatures in the world would be equal. There would be no high walls and no oppression. That would be the real utopia.
"Don't rush to agree with my ideas," Su He said nonchalantly, "I've killed far more people than you can imagine."
Qi Xueliu thought about the people in District 103. Did Su He let the cockroach people lay eggs when the gods descended? Su He actually had a normal moral judgment of his own actions. She was a little shocked that Su He was rational. She thought this person was a complete lunatic.
Su He: "Everyone is the same."
The purposes are different, but the means are inevitably equally despicable. There is nothing wrong with admitting it.
Qi Xueliu noticed a subtle difference. Su He knew that he was destroying the world, while the Kingdom of God's core motivation was to save the world.
Qi Xueliu asked: "What are your plans next?"
This question is a bit offensive. Even Su He’s current subordinates have never asked about the progress.
But Su He has always been gentle towards the younger generation. She knows that the world will belong to the younger generation sooner or later, and only spirits will be passed on, as everyone will die.
Su He: "Guess?"
For the first time, Qi Xueliu found Su He very interesting. She actually joked with her. Qi Xueliu relaxed unconsciously and thought for a moment before asking, "Kill Zhu Ning?"
She remembered that Su He and Zhu Ning were sworn enemies, after all, Zhu Ning had ruined her plan.
Su He shook his head slightly, "Why should I kill her? We have the same goal now."
Su He could not attack the Kingdom of God directly because Prometheus was defending it, but now Zhu Ning was not afraid of death and tried to cross the Far North to kill him.
Su He looked forward to the day when Prometheus's Kingdom of Death would completely collapse more than anyone else.
Of course, if Zhu Ning died in the far north, Su He wouldn't have to do much.
She has no interest in killing any individual. She wants to die together. Although it is crazy, it makes the world more interesting that way.
Qi Xueliu breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't really like the mission of killing Zhu Ning.
Su He didn't tell him the detailed plan, "You can think carefully about whether you want to follow me."
Su He felt that Qi Xueliu was acting on impulse and did not have any accurate thoughts, like a passionate young person. As a senior, Su He should guide the juniors on how to go, instead of regretting it the second before Qi Xueliu's death.
Qi Xueliu was extremely surprised and asked, "Can you accept my regret?"
Su He: "Why not?"
Qi Xueliu was incredulous. It was normal for Zhu Ning to say this, but this was Su He, the man who snapped his fingers and destroyed an entire city-state. Qi Xueliu calmed down and asked, "Can I leave safely?"
Su He nodded: "I promise."
Qi Xueliu clenched her fists at her sides, and she looked as straight as a soldier. Su He stared at her with interest. It made no difference to her whether she let Qi Xueliu go or not.
It is indeed best to keep her by his side. Su He can train Qi Xueliu's special abilities, and consciousness control is rare enough even in her team.
It was normal for Qi Xueliu to refuse. Su He thought that Qi Xueliu needed to think about it for a while. After all, Su He was an absolute villain in the eyes of the world. What kind of devil was Zhu Ning? They had never seen a real devil.
Now Qi Xueliu already knows Su He's true face. Su He can see that she is very afraid of him. As long as Su He rubs two fingers together and snaps his fingers, this top student will immediately turn into ashes.
But Qi Xueliu suddenly raised her head and said in a resounding voice, "I'll join."
Su He uttered an "oh" with a slightly raised tone. Qi Xueliu thought Su He didn't believe in her loyalty, and said loudly like a subordinate facing his superior: "I join. I am willing to make your career my career and I am willing to die for it."
In this terrible world, Qi Xueliu chose to follow Su He.
Qi Xueliu paused, looked into Su He's eyes, and spoke out her long-cherished wish word by word: "I am willing to die for you."
Su He had recruited many subordinates and had seen all kinds of people, but he was a little surprised at this moment.
Qi Xueliu had never thought about these things, or she had carefully considered all the possibilities. She was different from others. She could destroy the world or save the world, no matter what Su He's ideals were.
She even changed the oath she took when she joined the Federation. She said she was willing to die for Su He's cause, while others swore an oath for the Resurrection Society or the whole world.
Qi Xueliu is so frank, unafraid and putting her personal feelings at the highest point.
Su He pondered for a moment, not knowing how to describe someone like Qi Xueliu. She was too sincere, as if the blood flowing in her body was hot. Qi Xueliu's eyes were bright. She had also led a team. In the eyes of others, Captain Qi had many advantages, such as being calm and smart.
These also exist in front of Su He, but she will give up some of her so-called pride and self-esteem. Her teammates probably have never seen this side of her. Like a crazy fan chasing a star, her whole world is Su He himself.
Su He: "Welcome."
Qi Xueliu's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously. If Su He wasn't there, she might have shouted to express her joy, but at this moment, she was still a little carried away and asked, "Can I hug you?"
Su He said coldly, "No."
Qi Xueliu lowered her head a little disappointedly, but the next second, Su He's hand appeared in front of her. The back of her hand was covered with scars, and there were still some stones that had not been peeled off.
Qi Xueliu looked up in surprise. Su He was looking at her quietly. Su He wanted to shake hands with her, which was a ritual of joining the team.
Qi Xueliu couldn't wait to hold that hand. Even if that hand could easily destroy her, she was willing to hold it for a second.
…
Utopia Underground.
Zhu Ning can walk today. Lin Xiaofeng helps her move little by little, as if she is undergoing rehabilitation.
After the swallowing, more polluted parts of Zhu Ning's body became visible. Now her brain, bones, and heart are all filled with pollutants. Others are replacing their robotic arms, but she is replacing the pollution.
Zhu Ning's back hurts when he walks, and he has to rest after every two steps. He is still very curious about that question: how did Zhu Yao and Liu Yu leave in the first place?
Both of them left, which only made Zhu Ning think of a possibility. There was a safe "way out" here that was recorded in Chen Qihang's notebook. They already knew it before entering Utopia.
Moreover, Zhu Yao was able to take away some of the pollutants. He must have made a lot of preparations in advance and learned about it from Chen Qihang?
This Chen Qihang is really powerful. Qi Xueliu said that Su He is also looking for the real Chen Qihang.
Now we are in the purified contaminated area, and the notebook is probably blank.
Zhu Ning had to kill Prometheus as soon as possible. She thought about it all night yesterday. Pei Shu was dead, but Lu Yuan was still in the Kingdom of God. Her situation must be very bad.
Zhu Ning had told Pei Shu that he would carry out the mission of rescuing the princess and he couldn't go back on his word.
"Rest." Lin Xiaofeng interrupted her thoughts. She strictly controlled Zhu Ning's activity time and her tone was particularly unquestionable, like a little adult.
Zhu Ning felt that Lin Xiaofeng was raising her like a daughter. This child was too precocious.
Zhu Ning sat down on the spot. She was not used to Lin Xiaofeng having a face. In her impression, she had always been a little girl wearing Little Red Riding Hood. Because she was wearing protective clothing outside the wall, she often floated around like a headless female corpse.
"Are we leaving soon?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Zhu Ning nodded. As expected, she was very sensitive. It was obvious that Zhu Ning wanted to complete the task quickly and couldn't wait to reach the Far North.
Lin Xiaofeng: "Would you like to take anything with you?"
Zhu Ning was silent. The bodies of Pei Shu and Bai Cheng did not need to be taken away, but Huo Huaiying's body was still there.
Zhu Ning only carried Zhu Yao's notebook and the photo with him. He didn't care about anything else. "No need."
Lin Xiaofeng wanted to ask if Huo Huaiying should be buried, but Zhu Ning didn't seem to have that idea. She wanted to let nature take its course. Huo Huaiying had been lying there for so many years, and a few more years would make no difference.
Lin Xiaofeng was thinking about packing his luggage, but there was nothing much to pack as supplies were still scarce.
Zhu Ning slept again and woke up, knowing that he had to leave. There were four people in the team when they came, but now there are only two left.
Lin Xiaofeng was carrying a one-meter-long backpack, but she didn't think it was heavy at all. She was reluctant to let Zhu Ning carry anything, and took care of all the trivial work herself.
Lin Xiaofeng put on her bag and found that Zhu Ning was looking at her. She didn't know what he was thinking. As soon as Lin Xiaofeng raised her eyes, Zhu Ning immediately looked away and avoided looking at her.
Lin Xiaofeng guessed that she might be thinking of Pei Shu and the others, so he quickly walked over to her and took Zhu Ning's hand, "Let's go."
Zhu Ning smiled and followed the little adult forward.
Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of Zhu Ning in a serious manner. She would block any danger and fight any monster that attacked her. Her eyes were bright and sharp, like a majestic little lion.
Lin Xiaofeng became the leader and took Zhu Ning down the slope and into the deep pit, and Zhu Ning followed her obediently.
After the heart was devoured, two roads were left behind, leading to different directions. The huge blood vessels were materialized, like two secret passages.
She looked at him seriously for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Which way?"
Zhu Ning chuckled, what little adult, or just a little brat? Lin Xiaofeng wrinkled her nose, her little face wrinkled, she hasn't learned more yet.
Zhu Ning stopped arguing with her. It was indeed a fork in the road. If Pei Shu and Bai Cheng were there, they could give effective suggestions, but there was no guide in the team now, so they could only choose blindly. Her luck had never been to choose a fork in the road.
Zhu Ning decided to try both paths and chose the left one first.
She held onto the wall and slowly moved into the passage, imagining that what she was pressing on might be the aorta, which had only devoured the heart but not the blood vessels, and these remaining organs were still functioning.
Zhu Ning closed his eyes, as if his spirit was connected to it, feeling the giant's body in a special way.
It was a wonderful experience. Zhu Ning merged a part with the female giant, and the giant's soul was regenerated in her body, so there was an illusion of soul vibration.
Her heart was beating, her bones were secreting mucus, her brain was moving, and the part she pressed was responding to her, making a faint response.
The sound of the waves dissipated, and she heard a whistling sound in her ears. The wind was blowing violently, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Zhu Ning's feeling didn't last long, two minutes at most. Lin Xiaofeng followed behind and didn't dare to disturb her. He didn't know how to judge specifically. He only saw Zhu Ning open her eyes and actually went deep into the passage.
Lin Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow Zhu Ning's footsteps and move forward. The road was quite spacious, and there was no problem for adults to walk inside, let alone a child like Lin Xiaofeng. However, the passage was not straight, and they seemed to be walking in the intestines, with many twists and turns.
Zhu Ning's physical strength had not fully recovered, and she would stop after walking for a while. Lin Xiaofeng could judge her condition through her breathing.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhu Ning finally stopped. Lin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes instinctively and felt a cold light for the first time.
It was like two prisoners who had escaped from prison and finally saw the first ray of light from the outside world after digging a tunnel for so long.
Zhu Ning's body blocked a large area of light, and her body outline was also outlined by the light. When Zhu Ning encountered the light, she stopped and did not move forward. She paused for too long, and Lin Xiaofeng could not help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Snow." Zhu Ning's voice was very dry. "It's snowing outside."
A beam of light shone into the dark cave. Zhu Ning stopped at the end of the light, as if he was at the junction of light and darkness. Just one more step forward and he would be able to walk completely into the light. Accompanied by the whistling wind, a cold snowflake fell on Zhu Ning's face.
Without a guide, Zhu Ning could realize her approximate location. They had arrived in the north.
