Chapter 143 The Incomplete One
She turned pale with fright and turned around to leave, but Qu Yanbai spotted her.
"Who is it?" Qu Yanbai wanted to take action, but after seeing that it was Luna, he hesitated for a moment. This girl had never hurt them from the beginning, and had even helped them a lot.
Luna had a horrified look on her face. "Don't kill me. I just wanted to tell you to run away. They are going to burn you to death."
Qin Muxue already knew that the residents of the tribe wanted to burn them to death, but she still found it funny. "Burning us to death is really the stupidest way."
"Please don't kill the people here. They are just trying to protect themselves. If we don't kill you, our entire tribe will be slaughtered. Now there are not many people in the tribe. If this continues, we will be wiped out..."
Judging from the current environment on Yanxing, even if they are not massacred, they will not survive for long.
But for the sake of old lady Eve, she would not take action against the residents here for the time being. But if they really wanted to kill her, she would not be polite anymore.
"Let's run away first! Before they find us."
"Let's get out of here without further delay."
Everyone put on their backpacks and quickly went to the exit before they came over.
Luna looked at Qu Yanbai's back reluctantly, "You guys are leaving, so you won't come back again?"
"Probably not." Qu Yanbai answered honestly: "Thank you for your help these days. I know you are different from those residents who want to burn us to death. Luna, you are kind. You should go back quickly and don't let them find you."
Luna mustered up her courage. Knowing that she would never see him again, she just wanted to express her feelings, "Qu Yanbai, I...I like you."
Qu Yanbai looked at her firmly, "Thank you for your love, but I already have someone I like, and she is still waiting for me to come back."
There was infinite love in his eyes. Luna knew that she no longer had any chance, but she was already very happy that she could express her feelings.
"Then please, you must survive, and leave quickly!"
Luna could hear the noisy noise behind her; the residents must be coming here.
The moment they left the dungeon, an arrow shot towards them. Qu Yanbai was about to use his supernatural powers when he heard a terrible scream.
It was Luna who blocked the arrow for him, but she had already fallen in a pool of blood.
Luna looked at the back of that person and began to spit out blood, but she still shouted: "Get out of here, leave quickly... It's too late, I hope you don't, don't hurt my people."
There is a special poison on this bow and arrow, which is deadly to the Yanxing people. She knew that she would not live long, and now she just wanted to see that person leave safely.
"Don't let her down. Let's get out of here!"
Qu Yanbai nodded with difficulty, "Okay."
They were wearing white cloaks and moving towards the north. The people behind them were chasing their footsteps, but unfortunately they were still one step too late.
Qin Muxue and his companions finally crossed the desert and saw the shadow of an oasis. It was obvious that there were people living in the oasis. It was too dangerous for them to rush in rashly, so they could only hide in the grass.
The pursuers couldn't see them, but couldn't leave the desert, so they had no choice but to leave.
This oasis is not very big, and there are some sparsely grown plants that have never been seen before. Qu Yanbai touched these plants, and the properties of these plants instantly appeared in his mind.
There are several modern tall buildings deep in the oasis, which are completely different from the underground city. The underground city is very primitive, but here has a high-tech feel.
"This should be the base of the rioters. We must go in and see what is going on inside."
They could see people who looked exactly like the rioters guarding the gate of the base not far away. Now they could be sure that the rioters came from here. Looking at the towering base, Qin Muxue fell into deep thought.
What kind of secrets are hidden here?
While the guards weren't paying attention, Qu Yanbai wrapped the vines around the wall and said, "It's impossible for us to get in through the main door, so let's go in through the window!"
Thinking of what had just happened, he still felt a little upset, but now was not the time to feel upset. These rioters threatened not only the lives of the other surviving tribes of Yanxing, but also the lives of the people of Lanxing.
Several people climbed up the vines and climbed into the second-floor window.
It was pitch black here. Shi Yan observed for a while and found that there was no one here. He waved his hand and asked them all to come in.
In the darkness, everyone could only see a faint blue light. It was not until Qin Muxue turned on the flashlight that they discovered what the faint blue light was.
There are rows of hibernation chambers here, all filled with human-like creatures. The only difference is that their eyes glow blue in the dark.
“Is this a rioter?”
Everyone looked back and saw countless hibernation chambers filled with rioters, and they all had their eyes open.
Qin Muxue was a little panicked at first, until she waved her hands in front of the rioters and found that they had no reaction at all.
"They couldn't see us, so they didn't react."
In this room alone, there are countless rioters. A rough estimate is that there are thousands of hibernation chambers. You can imagine how many rioters there are in this building. They should all have been produced, so they have no consciousness.
A few people slowly passed through these hibernation chambers and found another world inside.
There are various forms of rioters, from the rioters who started out as clones, rioters in their infancy, toddlers, children, and young adults, but there is no old age.
It is hard to imagine that these babies babbling in the incubator will become killing machines without blinking an eye in the future. "They look like human beings."
Sheng Xingyuan looked at the gene sequence number and said, "It doesn't seem like they have human genes. They are probably a new type of human cloned from human genes and the Yanxing people here."
There is a machine not far away that is constantly screening and selecting these babies. Some of them are transported here, a few are transported in another direction, and some are dropped in another place.
"These children are divided into several types. Is it the difference between rioters, rioters with super powers, and wise ones?"
"That should be it."
There are also some children with defects who have an even more miserable fate. Some cloned children have indelible human emotions, or have congenital diseases, or are missing limbs. Those with various problems will be thrown directly into a place like a garbage dump, and no one knows where these children will be teleported to.
"No wonder there are so many rioters. They were made this way. Maybe all the rioters in the buildings here are made this way."
"What I wonder is why they would use human genes for cloning."
"Warning, there is an intruder, warning, there is an intruder!" Suddenly, the machine above their heads issued a red light alarm, and all the robots that were originally taking care of the baby suddenly stopped and headed in their direction.
"We definitely don't have such technology now. These robots can not only take care of children, but also have attack capabilities. Let's leave here quickly!" Sheng Xingyuan shouted.
Shi Yan looked at the only exit here, the window. There were robots behind them. As the alarm sounded, some of the rioters were also awakened. "Human, there are humans breaking in."
"Kill any humans who break in!" one rioter shouted.
"Oh no! Can we really kill so many rioters?" The previous battle with the rioters was still vivid in Qu Yanbai's mind. He was a little worried that they were no match for these rioters.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shi Yan relaxed his neck. He hadn't fought for a long time. It was time to stretch his muscles.
After his hands turned into blades, he rushed into the group of rioters and started fighting. It turned out that the ordinary rioters were no match for him, it was just that their numbers were too large.
Qu Yanbai and Qin Muxue also joined the battle. It seemed as if this group of rioters were endless. After one batch was killed, another would appear. None of them were afraid of death. They just came up and attacked without leaving any room for maneuver. Even Shi Yan felt a little tired.
"These rioters are not afraid of death at all."
"This is one of the reasons why they are difficult to deal with. They are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of death at all. They use all their strength to deal with us. Moreover, their numbers are much greater than ours. Even if we have superpowers, we will feel tired." Qu Yanbai explained while dealing with the rioters in front of him.
Qin Muxue Bingling dealt with three rioters at once, but this group of rioters had a strong learning ability. After seeing Shi Yan's dodging skills, they also imitated his movements and quickly learned how to dodge. In other words, they had a strong ability to imitate.
"Fuck, there are more and more!" They surged in front of him like a wall of flesh, and Qu Yanbai could hardly resist.
Moreover, the robots behind them also started shooting at them. Now they were being attacked from both sides, which was very dangerous even with super powers.
Only after everyone retreated to the corner did they face their attacks with reluctance.
Shi Yan looked at the place where the group of disabled children were thrown out. That was the only place where they could escape from, but he didn't know what unknown dangers that place might have.
"Xiaoxue, that place, we can try to get out from there."
"I'll fight them off first, you go over first!" Qin Muxue was planning a big move, which she had never tried before. She used her mental power to control a large amount of water at once. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate her mental power as much as possible. She had used up the last piece of purple ore just now, and this was her last chance.
"Can't."
"Shi Yan, listen to me." Every time it was Shi Yan who protected her, this time, let her protect Shi Yan.
The water gushing out from her body washed away most of the rioters around her. This was their only chance to get down from there.
"Hurry up, take advantage of this opportunity!" she shouted.
The four of them jumped down from the only exit, and the surviving rioters also jumped down and followed in their footsteps.
The place where he fell from here was exactly on the conveyor belt, and at the end of the belt was actually a machine in a food processing plant.
Looking at these disabled babies, Qin Muxue suddenly understood what their ultimate fate would be. "They were actually processed into food."
It goes without saying who it is for.
There was a bloody switch in front of them, so they jumped off the conveyor belt. Qin Muxue quickly ran to the power source, pulled down the switch, and the machine stopped abruptly.
The rioters behind them also fell together because the conveyor belt suddenly stopped. They were originally orderly, but now they became chaotic. The rioters who stood up continued to chase them.
The four of them ran towards the depths of the food processing factory. When they reached the corner, they were suddenly dragged in by a black figure. "Come with me! We can't get rid of them like this."
A tall woman threw them several sets of clothes, which were the same as the ones she was wearing, like the work clothes in a food processing factory.
"When the rioters come, you just pretend to be the workers here, wear masks and don't speak."
On the assembly line, they pretended to be workers, picking and choosing these cans. Who would have thought that the food in these cans was made from their own kind?
After turning around a few times and not finding any trace of them, the rioters walked towards the assembly line and glanced around suspiciously several times.
The hearts of several people were in their throats. Although they could defeat them, this was the base of the rioters and they were outnumbered.
After the rioters found nothing unusual, they finally left.
Qin Muxue was finally able to stop what she was doing. She took a deep breath and felt sick when she thought that the can in her hand was once a living baby.
The woman took them into a small room, looked outside, and closed the door nervously.
"This is not the place for you to come." The woman said to herself.
Qin Muxue asked curiously: "Why did you save us? Are you also a rioter?"
The woman waved her hand quickly, revealing her robotic arm. "Look, I'm a disabled person. To be more precise, I'm a person who was abandoned here."
"A robotic arm?"
Sheng Xingyuan looked at her arm carefully. It was made of many messy parts, but the maker did have very high assembly skills.
"I was originally a disabled child, and was supposed to be canned meat. I was saved by another disabled person, and he also made this arm for me, so I was able to sneak into the factory. If I have the chance, I will save the babies here, but I can't do anything about most of the children." Her tone was full of helplessness. "The disabled will be made into canned meat for normal people to eat."
Qin Muxue frowned, she was right.
"As soon as I saw you, I knew you must be disabled people too." The woman laughed, "My name is Rossetti, and I welcome you to my place of refuge."
She smiled and stretched out her hand, as if trying to show them her friendliness.
Qin Muxue was thinking about another question, "You said that we are also disabled people, what does that mean?"
"The disabled are not only physically disabled, but also emotionally disabled. Qualified residents here don't have emotions, but we have emotions that we shouldn't have, so we will be disposed of." A sad expression appeared on her face. "Even if the disabled survive, they will have a very difficult life, because we have no food source, and we won't eat our own kind. There are very few resources on this planet."
"And you can communicate with me normally, and that group of people are still chasing you, so you must be the Incomplete Ones without a doubt. And the name you gave them, rioters, is quite suitable for them." The implication is that the group of rioters cannot communicate normally.
Everyone has roughly figured out the social living environment here. The disabled people here are, in a certain sense, normal humans, while normal humans are considered abnormal here.
"Anyway, thank you for saving us."
"You're welcome." Rossetti smiled sweetly. "I'm very happy to meet so many people like me at once! But we have no fixed place to stay here, and I can only sneak into the factory here occasionally. Let's leave here first!"
After understanding the environment here, they still need to formulate a series of plans to defeat the rioters. The four of them discussed it and decided to follow Rossetti and leave this place first.
A smile suddenly appeared on Rossetti's mouth. The fish was finally hooked.
The environment where Rossetti lives is extremely harsh. Except for this base built in the oasis, there is still a whole desert when you go out. They don’t have an underground city, but only scattered villages built in the desert. Most of the people in the villages are dark and thin, and most of them are young children, and these children are all skinny.
The dilapidated houses made of sand are even more vulnerable to sandstorms, so they often migrate. Another reason is to avoid being hunted down by those who are exposed.
A teenager with a dirty face was scolding a child who looked about ten years old, "Gracie, what did I say? We can't eat those people's food, otherwise we will become as cold-blooded and cruel as them and kill our own kind."
"Why? These canned meats are obviously delicious, and we are short of food. My sister is almost starving to death. I can't just watch them starve to death."
The boy didn't know how to answer. Should he tell them the cruel truth? But they were still young, and if he told them, it would cause them great trauma. But if he didn't tell them, he couldn't stop them from eating those canned foods.
When Matthew was in a dilemma, he saw Rossetti and the expression on his face gradually relaxed. After seeing Rossetti's return, the children also showed excited smiles and rushed towards her.
"Rossetti, did you bring back anything this time? Any food? We are starving to death." Gracie rushed towards Rossetti.
It was not until the group of children saw the four strange people that they hid behind Rossetti in fear, "Rossetti, who are they?"
In the past, Rossetti would only bring back babies, food, and some daily necessities, but this time he brought back four adults.
When the children saw them, they were all a little frightened.
“They are just like us.”
Qin Muxue looked at this group of children, all of whom were disabled children. Some had no legs, some were blind, and some had rich emotions. But looking at their dirty and thin appearance, it was really sad.
"I'm sorry, we have no food here, and you have to live in this shabby house." Rossetti entertained them warmly and led them to her residence.
"We can't thank you enough, how can you feel wronged?"
Gracie looked unhappy and whispered in Rossetti's ear: "We are already short of food, why did you bring these people here?"
Rossetti carefully pulled him aside, pointed at their backpacks and said, "Look what's in their backpacks?"
Gracie found that the backpacks of those people were all bulging, and who knows what good things were hidden in them.
Rossetti said casually: "I don't know what good things are in their backpacks. I saved them, maybe they will share some food with us?"
Gracie stared at Qin Muxue and the others thoughtfully, but she had other thoughts.
The four of them sat in the small, leaky house and found themselves in a dilemma again.
Shi Yan was the first to say, "That woman is very strange."
Qin Muxue actually had the same feeling. She seemed to be smiling, but her smile was very distant. She looked very enthusiastic, but she never touched them and always avoided them inadvertently. On the surface, there was no problem, but Qin Muxue could feel that Rossetti was not sincere.
"I really hope that this is all my illusion."
…
Matthew pulled Gracie, "No, you can't go!"
"Matthew, I've had enough. We are here to live, why do we have to abide by those ethics and morals? As long as we stay alive, it's fine. As long as we survive, I don't care. I have to go tonight!"
Gracie broke free from Matthew's hold, ran away, and disappeared from his sight, leaving him with only a helpless sigh.
Does he need to remind that group of people? On one side there are children who are about to starve to death, and on the other side there are those strangers. Normal people will choose their own companions.
Rossetti was observing everything that was happening in the corner. "It's getting more and more interesting. Emotions? Ethics? Having these things is the reason why the Yanxing people were destroyed. I want to continue watching this good show."
She showed her mechanical arm and admired her broken arm. "With just this little trick, you can deceive the trust of those people. It seems that humans are also a group of stupid creatures. Stupid creatures do not need to exist."
