Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky, and in a moment, heavy rain poured down.
It was as if God was wrathful, washing away all the blood and flames of war that lingered in the entire city.
Jiang Chuyi raised his head from the book and looked out the window. In the distance, dark clouds spread from the end of the sky and extended all the way to the top of the base.
There was a commotion outside. The survivors who were working were frightened and retreated to the main hospital.
Jiang Chuyi hadn't deliberately tried to find out what they were doing these past few days, but he could probably guess. He Sizhao had taken away most of the elite soldiers, leaving behind the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. The remaining people had almost no fighting power left. They huddled here, licking their wounds, not knowing what had happened. They only knew that a group of heroes had gone out to fight for the future of this world.
The only thing they can do is to heal their wounds and try their best to restore the base to its state before the disaster.
If all goes well, a new life will begin.
Besides screams, there were also loud cheers outside the window.
It had been a long time since the end of the world. Perhaps it was like a sign of a good harvest, so although this rainstorm came suddenly, it made everyone very happy. Those who were still able to move went out with containers to collect water, which was much cleaner than the river water whose pollution was unknown.
Jiang Chuyi stared at the dense rain outside the window and began to contact Xiao San.
She wanted to know how He Shizhao and the others were doing now.
However, after the shock just now, Xiao San didn't dare to approach them again. He just observed the situation from a distance and told Jiang Chuyi that they had rescued many humans.
Jiang Chuyi expressionlessly rejected Xiao San's questions like "Can I eat it?" and tried to continue focusing on the book.
The rain might have seemed a good omen to others, but she always felt a little uneasy.
The feeling of skipping a beat that He Shizhao and the others had felt when they just left the base came back to her, but she had no idea where this sense of crisis came from.
The words on the paper spun and jumped, and not a single word caught her eye.
Jiang Chuyi threw the book away in annoyance. She took out the communicator that she had never used before and dialed a channel.
"Miss Jiang?" Ji Xia's surprised voice came from inside, accompanied by the sound of heavy rain in the background, indicating that he was also outside.
"How many combat-capable people did He Sizhao leave in the base?" Jiang Chuyi asked.
"Captain He left three teams behind to help take care of the wounded. They're so short-handed, and this is the limit of how many he can leave behind after careful consideration." Ji Xia had nothing to hide from Jiang Chuyi, so she told her everything and then asked, "Is there anything you need?"
No one comes to visit you for no reason. It would be fine if this person didn't look for him normally, but when he came to him, Ji Xia felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
"Is there anyone patrolling outside the gate?"
"Yes, but there are not many people." Ji Xia replied.
"Transfer them all back." Jiang Chuyi said, "Also let everyone outside in. Do not leave the hospital without my consent. Otherwise, you will be responsible for your own life or death."
Ji Xia was silent for a few seconds, and then asked in a subtle tone: "Miss Jiang, do you sense any danger approaching?"
Jiang Chuyi’s response was to hang up the phone.
Anyway, she has given her advice, and it is up to these humans to listen or not.
She originally stayed here because of He Shizhao's instructions, and now that she is reminded of this, it doesn't count as her breaking her promise.
Jiang Chuyi came to the window, and someone outside began to organize everyone to retreat. It seemed that Ji Xia still chose to listen to her.
She stared at the rain and slowly closed her eyes. In the invisible space, her perception was like the vast sky, slowly covering the entire inner city and gradually spreading outward.
Heavy rain can hide many things, and both vision and taste are affected in such extreme weather.
Someone is deliberately suppressing her.
…
"How can there be two Xiaoyi? Boss, Xiaoyi's name is Jiang Chuyi, right?"
The unintentional sound rang out again, confirming that it was not a mistake in hearing just now.
He Sizhao and Su Mo looked at each other, and both of them flashed to Wuyi's side at the same time, each taking one copy and snatching the two copies of information from Wuyi's hands.
Wuyi was stunned for a moment, but without asking any more questions, he picked up his heavy sniper and went to check somewhere else.
As soon as He Shizhao got it, he found that this document was thicker than any other experimental subject's, and the paper used was better, which showed that the recorder attached great importance to it.
He opened the first page. There was no photo on it. The name column indeed had the three words "Jiang Chuyi" written on it, but there was no number.
He continued to flip through the pages, and the names and contents of each shocking experiment were listed in detail. There was not a single picture, but a primitive sense of bloodiness and cruelty came over him. It was hard to believe that the people recorded in the book were still alive.
When he turned to the page of "Heart dissection experiment to prove whether the experimental subject relies on the heart to provide kinetic energy", he could not bear it anymore and slammed the document shut with a bloodshot and terrifying look.
His whole body was filled with murderous intent, which made Su Mo look sideways slightly.
"Brother Zhao, things may be a little different from what we thought." Su Mo handed the information in his hand to He Sizhao and took it from him, "Take a look at this."
He Sizhao held the information in his hand but did not open it immediately.
Su Mo opened the document he had just received. After reading one page, his eyes froze and his hands holding the document began to tremble slightly.
He Sizhao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were full of coldness. He opened the document in his hand.
Jiang Chuyi's name was also written on the first page, but this time there was a photo on it.
A fair and tender little baby is smiling sweetly at the camera, unaware of the dangers of the world and the fate that will await him from now on.
After reading the document just now, He Sizhao felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw that smile. He almost didn't dare to face the innocent eyes in the camera.
He flipped through the pages quickly, his brow furrowing more and more as he looked.
It wasn't because it recorded some inhumane experiments, but because it was too normal, so normal that he felt that this information shouldn't appear here.
It actually records Jiang Chuyi's growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood.
One year old, two years old, three years old... Every day's record is Jiang Chuyi's daily life. In these daily lives, there is only study and play, as if the experiments just seen do not exist. It is a normal record of a girl's growth.
And there are photos every year. The little girl in the photos smiles sweetly. Even though you can see the shadow of Jiang Chuyi today, she has no resemblance to the current Jiang Chuyi at all.
With this surprise, He Sizhao quickly flipped through the pages. The information was very thick, and he watched a girl grow up in a very short time, until she was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen... until she was twenty-two.
He Sizhao stared at the young woman in a white coat, smiling brightly and shyly at the gate of the military district headquarters.
"Have you finished reading it?" Su Mo asked softly.
He Sizhao's slender fingertips touched the smiling face of the woman in the photo and whispered, "Xiaoyi has never smiled like this before."
This was a completely relaxed and happy smile, a natural smile that a girl who grew up in happiness would show. Jiang Chuyi didn't know what happiness was like. She had never felt such unbridled joy when she was amused.
"These two books record two different Jiang Chuyi's lives." Su Mo looked at him. "Which one do you think is true?"
"Not everything may be true." He Sizhao flipped the book forward again.
There are many photos of Jiang Chuyi from childhood to adulthood in it, and he always wants to take a few more looks.
"Two completely different lives, yet they appear in the same person, how could it be possible?" Su Mo's lips and teeth felt cold. "I don't believe that someone who has experienced this book can laugh like that."
He pointed to a photo in He Shizhao's hand.
Jiang Chuyi is smiling in almost every photo here.
"I believe my feeling, Brother Zhao. The Xiaoyi we know is this person from the beginning to the end." Su Mo shook the information in his hand. "If she grew up like this, then everything can be explained."
"Reincarnation." He Sizhao suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Su Mo pursed his lips, his eyes dark and bottomless.
"Given Ji Xia's example, it's not surprising that this is a possibility." He Sizhao said, "Look, this document in my hand was clearly written over many years. The handwriting and ink color are gradually changing, day by day, year by year, but the one in your hand..."
He quickly glanced at the folded document in Su Mo's hand.
"The handwriting and ink color have almost no transition. It was written by one person in a short period of time. This possibility is either made up, or he has these memories and just wrote them down from memory. I tend to lean towards the latter."
Su Mo did not show any surprise. He had also considered this possibility, but hearing it from He Sizhao's mouth made people even more frightened.
"If what you said is true, the Doctor was reborn, and he did these things to Xiaoyi in his previous life, and then he let her fall into his hands again in this life."
Su Mo lowered his head to look at the information in his hand, and suddenly felt that this thick notebook was really heavy. It was so heavy that he could hardly hold it, and even speaking was a little difficult.
"The current Xiaoyi... is the same Xiaoyi from the previous life."
"It's unjust that even a demon like this can be reborn."
In this book that records countless cruel experiments, all the experimental data came to an abrupt end when Jiang Chuyi was eighteen years old. The happy Jiang Chuyi was already twenty-two years old at the time of the last record.
He Sizhao didn't say anything. He was tearing off Jiang Chuyi's photos one by one, putting them together neatly, and putting them into his chest pocket.
"Let's put an end to this," he said.
Suddenly, the soldier guarding the door issued a loud warning.
"These jars... are breaking!"
Five hundred kilometers away, at the main base.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly opened her eyes. She did not move, and an invisible giant hand suddenly appeared in the rainstorm, like a cat squatting in front of a mouse hole for a long time, and suddenly attacked!
As soon as a zombie entered her territory, it was crushed to death without even resisting.
How could a zombie enter her territory without permission?
Jiang Chuyi felt something was wrong and became even more alert.
This was only what she could detect. She had not forgotten that the clone she had seen at the beginning had no energy fluctuations, which meant that it was neither a living person nor a zombie, and could perfectly avoid her perception.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the hall downstairs, followed by screams and gunshots.
Jiang Chuyi pushed the window frame and jumped out from the fifth floor.
The author has something to say:
