Chapter 144 Do you like me?
Late at night, Rossetti secretly left the dilapidated village and came to the base. She didn't have to hide here at all. On the contrary, she walked in the base openly. When the group of rioters saw her, they had no intention of attacking.
She came to the control room, where surveillance cameras were installed at various locations in the base, and everything was visible. She sat on a recliner, staring at the ceiling and said, "Playing games with them is really exhausting."
She was the heir chosen by the controller of the base because she was ruthless enough. The reason why her hand was mutilated was not because of her congenital condition, but because she lost it in the struggle with many heirs.
Rossetti only knew that it was fun to pretend to be a disabled person and tease them. She would lure them with canned food made by disabled people and watch them fall into a dilemma. In the end, they could not escape the temptation because of hunger. And those guys had to be grateful to her. From time to time, she would pick some disabled people who were about to be disposed of and take them back.
The disabled people generally have richer emotions and more meticulous minds, and it is precisely because of their rich emotions that they become a bond. The children thought that everyone could rely on each other, but they didn't know that because of Rossetti's instigation, undercurrents had begun to surge among the group of children. She brought these four people over and hinted to Gracie just to see how these children would react.
Human nature is inherently evil, and she wants to verify this point of view, so she has to implement the "Human Purge Plan".
Even though so many disasters have occurred on Blue Planet, this group of humans have still survived tenaciously. In this case, let her lend a helping hand and completely eliminate these filthy humans.
Rossetti forced a smile until the communicator made a sound. "Dad, I understand. After the magnetic field and wormhole return to normal, we will send the next batch to Blue Star. This time, we will definitely eliminate them completely. Don't worry about everything."
After turning off the communicator, Rossetti smiled and continued to wait to see what was to come.
…
In the village, in order to attract the attention of the four people, Gracie cruelly cut a scar on her sister's hand, "Sister, I have no choice. In order to get close to them, I can only hurt you."
The child's crying became louder and louder. She didn't realize why her brother cut such a big cut on her arm. She just felt the wound was very painful.
He held his sister in his arms and nervously found Qin Muxue and the others, shouting anxiously: "Please save my sister, she is injured, but we have no medicine here."
Graysi pretended to be anxious and distressed, and knelt in front of them, crying and holding his sister.
Because of the infection of the wound, the sister started to have a fever. Qin Muxue squatted down and touched her sister's forehead and found that it had become hot. Combined with her wound, she found that it had begun to fester.
The weather here is quite hot and there are many bacteria in the air. The little girl is dying.
Qin Muxue reacted immediately based on some medical knowledge she had learned before. She decided to first help the child treat his wounds, but their medical supplies were in short supply. If the space could still be entered, it wouldn't be a problem.
If she has a fever, it should be because the child’s wound has become inflamed. Now we must know what exactly hurt her.
Gracie calmly replied, "She was accidentally cutting herself while playing with a knife."
Qin Muxue looked at him suspiciously and said nothing more.
The child looked only two years old. She was a little skeptical if he really picked up the knife and cut himself.
Qu Yanbai took out the disinfectant alcohol and bandages from his backpack. "These are the only things I have in my backpack now. But if it was cut by a knife, such a young child would also need a tetanus shot, right?"
"Indeed, it is necessary. After all, the wound is too deep. And the girl is blind and can no longer see. If she is not treated in time, she will die."
"Do you have tetanus shots or anti-inflammatory drugs?"
Shi Yan and Sheng Xingyuan rummaged through their backpacks, but both shook their heads helplessly.
"If the vaccine is not given within 24 hours, her life will be in danger." Then she asked Gracie, "What kind of knife cut her?"
"It's just a knife that I've used for a long time..." Gracie replied hesitantly after hearing the other party ask this question. After all, he was just a child. It was his first time facing so many people, so he was inevitably nervous, and he was lying.
While everyone was busy taking care of the little girl, Gracie took two backpacks and left their room while they were not paying attention.
At this time, everyone realized that this guy's main purpose was not to save his sister, but their backpacks. There was nothing useful in the backpacks except some food given by the tribesmen.
Shi Yan stood up alertly. It would be easy for him to find the child, but Qin Muxue shook her head and said, "Forget it. There is nothing important in it. It is better for us to save the little girl first."
"Her brother treated her like this, is it necessary for us to save this little girl?" Sheng Xingyuan asked with his arms folded.
Do they have tetanus vaccine? Judging from the little girl's condition, she may not survive more than a few days if she doesn't get the vaccine.
"Her knife wounds didn't look like she had done it herself, they looked more like someone else had done it."
Shi Yan had just discovered this, but he didn't expect that Gracie's target was their backpacks.
Qin Muxue used alcohol to disinfect the little girl's wound. Because it was quite painful, her brows were furrowed. She held Shi Yan's hand weakly, "Brother, brother, don't hurt me..." She was still muttering to herself.
"We are just trying our best. If she can't make it... there is nothing we can do." Qin Muxue found some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs and gave them to her according to the dosage for a child.
Soon, Matthew came over with an anxious look on his face and shouted, "Oh no! Run! We've been discovered by that group of people. They're going to kill us. We're preparing to move our position now. You should follow us!"
Behind him were a few crying younger children, all of whom were disabled.
It was not until Matthew saw the little girl's wound that his pupils suddenly dilated and he asked in horror: "How did she become like this?"
Qin Muxue answered honestly: "Gracie came up with this idea to steal our backpacks. You guys are not deceiving us just to get our resources, are you?"
Shi Yan looked at the flames coming from a distance and said, "He doesn't look like he's lying to us. The rioters are really coming!"
"Rioters? You call them rioters?" Matthew was curious about the name, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to think about these questions. "We won't do such things like Gracie. It's my fault that I didn't teach him well, causing trouble for you and hurting his sister." He squatted down, looked at the little girl with heartache, and wanted to pick her up.
"Wait, let me do it!" Qu Yanbai volunteered to carry the little girl on his back.
He is the strongest person here, and these kids wouldn't be able to run far if they carried their children on their backs.
Everyone walked in the desert in the opposite direction of the rioters. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was very large. It could reach 60 or 70 degrees during the day, but at this time it had dropped below zero.
"Matthew, Matthew, I can't run anymore." One of the children shouted, "Why don't I stay here? It doesn't matter if they take me away like this. I don't want to be hungry anymore. I don't have the strength anymore."
Matthew pulled the child up and said, "I will never give up any of you!" He pulled the child, unwilling to leave him alone even if he died.
Only after everyone finally found a hidden place did Matthew begin to count the number of people. In addition to Gracie, Rossetti was not there either.
"Rossetti, Rossetti... Have you seen Rossetti?"
"My sister said she went to look for food and she hasn't come back yet."
"No, I have to go find her!"
"You don't have to look for her. You finally escaped."
Qin Muxue looked at the dilapidated village not far away which was already on fire. Rossetti believed that she was not an ordinary person, so naturally nothing unexpected would happen to her.
But Matthew was very worried. He had always regarded her as a like-minded partner. If anything happened to her, he would definitely feel sad for the rest of his life.
"Please, take care of the children for me for a while. I'll go find Rossetti and Gracie. Even if Gracie made a mistake, I must find him and admit my mistake to you!" After saying that, his figure disappeared into the desert at night. Qu Yanbai looked at the crying children and felt a headache.
Qin Muxue said, "I'll go with you to take a look. Please take care of them."
Shi Yan said: "I'll go too!"
"You all left... me!" Before Qu Yanbai could finish his words, the two men had already left.
He looked at Sheng Xingyuan helplessly, "There are only two of us left."
"Why are you looking at me? I may not know how to take care of a child, but you, don't you always take care of children?" After taking the unconscious little girl from his arms, Sheng Xingyuan ignored him.
Qu Yanbai only felt a headache, but he still patiently squatted down and stretched out his hand. After a while, some fresh strawberries grew in his hand.
The crying child opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw the strawberries. "What is this?"
"These are strawberries. They are edible."
The children looked at each other, still hesitating. Qu Yanbai picked a strawberry and put it in his mouth. "Look, it tastes good. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
Seeing that there was no danger, a child hesitated and took a strawberry. He hid behind the crowd and stuffed the strawberry into his mouth. He immediately felt a sour and sweet taste that he had never experienced before. "It's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious!"
Seeing this, other children also started picking strawberries and eating them with gusto, "They are really delicious."
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of fruit."
The children had food to eat and were no longer afraid of crying. Qu Yanbai breathed a sigh of relief, but their troubles were not over yet. "I always feel that this place is strange."
…
"We've caught him. It's the Cripple." A rioter found Gracie hiding in the corner and picked him up.
"Kill him. There is no need for the Incomplete to live in this world. He is only fit to be canned for us."
Gracie's pupils suddenly widened, and he struggled and yelled, "Let me go! Let me go! And what are you talking about?"
"Don't you know that the canned food we eat is made from the flesh of you disabled people? That's all you can do." The rioter responded indifferently. He was just explaining the facts to these guests.
Gracie would usually eat the canned food that Rossetti secretly brought back because he was hungry. He thought it was the most delicious food in the world, but he never imagined that it was made from the flesh of people with disabilities like him.
He touched his broken ear and immediately felt his stomach churning. Not only did he eat it himself, he also shared it with his brothers and sisters. He thought it was the best thing...
Gracie retched and finally understood why Matthew always stopped him from eating canned food and didn't tell him the cruel truth.
Suddenly there was a loud noise nearby. After hearing the sound, the rioters immediately looked in that direction alertly. "Our most important task is to kill humans."
Without caring about Gracie in front of him, he quickly ran towards the direction of the loud noise.
Gracie did not feel lucky for this. He still felt disgusted. Although he had a bad character, he just wanted his younger siblings to live a better life. He had no choice but to hurt his sister. Anyway, that group of people would save her. That was what he originally thought. Even if that group of people did not save her, there was still Rossetti...
Thinking of Rossetti, he stood up, carrying two backpacks, and shouted: "Rossetti, where have you been?"
The loud noise just now was made by Matthew to attract the attention of the rioters. Facing the attack of two rioters, he could only wait for death. He was originally a lame man, and as one of the older children in this group of children, he has always been a responsible big brother. This time is no exception. No matter how big a mistake Gracie made, he cannot die at the hands of that group of people.
Matthew closed his eyes, but the imagined pain did not come. He felt something liquid splashing on his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Shi Yan and Qin Muxue had already dealt with the two rioters.
Qin Muxue used her water power to wash Shi Yan's hands. When Matthew saw the water appearing out of thin air, he was surprised. "Who are you? Why do you have water? And if you kill them, you will be in danger."
"Don't worry, it's easy for us to deal with these rioters. Even if there are more of them, it won't be a problem at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen rioters rushed over. For Shi Yan and Qin Muxue, it was very easy to deal with them. Even if they were holding guns, they could not hurt them at all.
Matthew watched them deal with the dozen or so rioters with his mouth wide open in surprise. When he first saw them coming here, he thought they were just a few ragged and disabled people, although he couldn't tell what was wrong with them.
Not far away, Qin Muxue picked up Gracie as if she was catching a chicken, "Have you seen enough? Isn't it time to return my things to us?"
Gracie knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to find some food for my brothers and sisters..."
"Gracie, no matter what, you can't get food in this way." Matthew wanted to teach him a lesson, but found that Gracie's face looked strange.
"I know everything. Those cans we eat are all our kind, right? Matthew, this is why you have been stopping me. Why didn't you tell me earlier! Then I wouldn't... wouldn't eat those." Thinking of those cans, he couldn't help dry heaving again. The psychological nausea made his whole body twitch.
Qin Muxue saw that her and Shi Yan's backpacks were still intact, so she picked up the backpacks. It wasn't because the things inside were so important, but she just didn't like others touching her things.
At this time, a girl with disheveled clothes ran towards them. Only when she got closer did Qin Muxue realize that this person was Rossetti whom they had been looking for.
The two stood aside and watched the situation. Rossetti said in panic, "They, they have already caught up with us. I finally managed to escape. Let's leave here quickly and meet up with the others!"
In a corner where no one else could see, Rossetti showed a disdainful smile. Anyway, she just needed to put on a show in front of them and everyone would believe her.
Unexpectedly, Gracie started yelling, "Rosetti, you know that those cans were brought by you..."
"Yes, I said that you shouldn't touch those cans unless it's absolutely necessary, but you... I was too embarrassed to say it." At this time, she completely denied all these things.
It feels great to play with these disabled people. They trust her, but they don't know that it is easy for her to kill them. Now this is just to test the so-called human nature, and all she sees is the evil side of human nature.
"Gracie, stop talking. Rossetti is doing this for our own good. Let's leave here quickly!" He grabbed Rossetti's hand and wanted to take her away.
Rossetti sneered unconsciously in her heart. She had seen many problems in the disabled, such as selfishness, greed, hypocrisy, vanity, jealousy, and dissatisfaction. Only Matthew had not seen these shortcomings. Ever since she knew him, he had always been selfless and full of love, which was why he could live to this day.
Rossetti thought to himself, "I just don't believe that this guy won't reveal his true colors when it comes to life and death."
As more and more rioters attacked in this direction, Rossetti deliberately twisted his leg and said, "Matthew, my leg is injured. I can't leave here with you. You'd better give up on me!"
As long as Matthew gives up on her, the game will be over. She will be the winner, and the loser will naturally be dealt with in the most cruel way. She can't wait.
But Matthew refused to leave her alone. "Rosetti, we have known each other for so long. You have always been a kind girl. You brought back so many children from there. These children survived because of you. How could I let you face all this alone? I have already sworn to protect you!"
Seeing that they could no longer escape, Qin Muxue stopped hiding and directly cooperated with Shi Yan to fight with the rioters. "It's still the same. No matter how many we kill, there will be more to replenish them."
Qin Muxue's mind suddenly lit up. If they continued like this, they would only consume all their mental energy, and the most important thing was that their base would be destroyed. If she had had space before, she would still be confident of this, but now she couldn't say for sure.
Just when she was distracted, she was stabbed in the chest by a superpowered rioter's weapon. After Shi Yan saw the wound on Qin Muxue's chest, he seemed to go crazy, his eyes turned red, "No one of you can hurt her."
He protected her in front of her, and even when facing a powerful super-powered rioter, he still hit the vital points with every move, and the huge body fell directly to the ground.
The situation on Matthew's side was not optimistic. More and more rioters surrounded him. They only needed one shot to kill him, but they seemed to be afraid of something and hesitated to shoot.
Rossetti winked at one of the rioters, and the rioter rushed forward with cold weapons.
Rossetti knew that this was a good opportunity to test Matthew. Someone like Matthew would definitely not give up his life to save her at the most critical moment.
She closed her eyes, a smile of victory appeared on her lips, but she didn't expect Matthew to stand in front of her. His body was pierced by the sword, but he didn't fall down. He held Rossetti tightly in his arms, "No... I won't let them hurt you."
"Are you crazy?" Rossetti's originally hard heart suddenly had a crack. How could there be such a strange man who would give up his life to protect her?
"No, I just... I just hope that you can live well, Rossetti. I know that you are the one who brought these people here... But I still don't want to see you get hurt. Protecting you is like my body's instinct." As more swords pierced into his body, he had no strength left.
The blood stained his worn coat red. He simply took out a yellowed handkerchief from his pocket and said, "This was the handkerchief you used to wipe my sweat when we first met. I'm sorry, I kept it without your permission..."
The handkerchief was instantly stained red with blood. Rossetti waved his hand and the rioters stopped what they were doing.
But Matthew's body was already covered in wounds. "You saved me for such a strange reason?"
"That's because I like you, Rossetti, and the place you hold in my heart... is very special." Matthew spat out another mouthful of blood. He knew that he had reached the end of his life.
"Do you like me?" This was the first time someone said this to Rossetti.
