Chapter 231 Scene 18 (Inverted V) She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sea...
"Hey, you guys, is this 'water' really that valuable? They'd spend so much just for a small bottle?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll lose your life."
"Yeah, man, they're pretty mean. This time we're on a mission directly assigned by them. Look, these little creatures can probably record our every move."
"Uh, hey, it's just a normal chat, little guy, please don't report me!"
“…”
“…”
"Are you all here for the money? Anyone who can achieve this must be very impressive, right? How could they be short of money?"
"nonsense."
"You're different from us? Then how did you get this mission? Brother, don't tell me you're skipping levels, you're asking for your life!"
"Tsk, no!" the man scratched his head in frustration. "It's that girl up ahead. She kidnapped me! Otherwise, even if I were desperate, I would never take a job of this level! And I came all the way to this shabby place. I'm exhausted, and I probably won't be able to go back."
“…”
"Brother, don't say such depressing things. Let me tell you something," the young man leaned in close to the man and whispered, "It's just fetching 'water'. The success rate and survival rate of this job have always been 100%."
"Hey, why are you suddenly getting so close to me!?" The man became alert and suddenly distanced himself from him.
"Little boy, there's no need to resort to violence." The woman's face was expressionless. She reached out and clamped the boy. "Or do you want to steal the 'water'?"
“…”
The boy and the woman looked at each other, and sparks flew between their eyes.
Seeing the tense situation between the two, the man scratched his head and then his chin.
He had just started working and knew nothing about these levels or masters. He was no different from a young and ignorant person. This was why he was caught by the girl in front.
"Hum, hum, hum..." The little girl hummed a song and seemed to be in a good mood.
He and she met in the lowest level takeout industry where there were no tokens. The girl, as the boss, threatened that she could give him a bag of tokens to save his child. He immediately nodded and agreed foolishly. But later he found out that the girl had clearly used the bag of tokens to buy his life!
"Hey, hey..." The man sighed, smiled at the boy and the woman, and then quickly followed the girl's pace, "Little girl, this job is really not dangerous, right? My child..."
"..." The little girl turned her head and looked at him with a playful smile in her eyes. She said nothing, but she scared the man so much that he almost peed his pants.
"Sorry, I spoke too much." The man said embarrassedly.
"I'm glad to know." The girl was young, but she was already a "boss" level figure. The man opened and closed his mouth as he listened to her clear voice.
“…”
"Why do you think they let us come to get 'water'?" the little girl suddenly asked.
"Uh, thirsty?" the man answered tentatively.
"That's stupid," the girl said, "but it's almost there."
“Hey hey…”
"They are 'thirsty' and need 'water', but not to 'drink', but to study."
"Research?"
"Yes, aren't you curious? This city is surrounded by mountains, and beyond those mountains, there's a neat cross-section. Level with the mountains, there's black 'water.' Where does this 'water' come from? Why has it never fluctuated?"
"this……"
“That’s why I’m here.”
"Is it okay for them to hear it?"
"…That's not something you need to worry about."
"Oh, sorry, sorry."
"Take this. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to save your life."
“Oh, thank you…”
"Then when you reach the edge of the cliff, please jump into the 'water'. Okay, thank you."
"Oh, okay...Huh???!"
"That thing in your hand is very expensive. If you don't use it, you can sell it. If you do use it, I hope you can make the most of it."
"You want me to die...?"
"I want to know what 'water' is and what's in it. If I can find out, I will give you your life back."
"My life is worthless, otherwise, little girl, you should choose another one—"
"Refuse, then die."
“No no no no no!!!!!”
“…”
"I'll go, I'll go! Don't kill me!"
"Yeah, that's good."
He Yuezhe led the man, as well as the young man and woman who were walking far behind them, and they walked up the rugged mountain.
The mountain was very high. When they reached the top, no, that place could not be called the top of the mountain, as it was cut off flatly. The 'water' just appeared at their feet, calm and silent, with a dead air, as if it wanted to swallow them all.
"Everyone takes what they need and doesn't interfere with each other. Good luck on your work, everyone." The woman still had no expression on her face. She was very powerful and really didn't need to show any expression to anyone.
The boy didn't seem well, he frowned and said, "The work went well."
"Good luck at work." He Yuezhe nodded at the two of them and left with the man.
This job requires that all participants must be present before it starts and ends, which means that even if they have other intentions, they cannot harm others in this job.
He Yuezhe knew the woman. They had met at work. She was her mother's friend and was quite nice to her. As for the young man, he was just a lackey. Although he had tried to make a move on the man, he was very weak.
"Go down." He Yuezhe first filled her and the man's kettles with water, then said to the man with a smile.
"...Okay, you promised me, don't go back on your word."
"I never regret it."
"thump!"
“…”
“…”
"Huh, 'water'! There's fish in this 'water'! It's exactly like the kind you buy at the market!"
"continue."
“…”
“…”
"It was too deep and it was pitch black down there. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel the water flowing."
"The water is flowing..."
“…”
“…”
"Little girl, I'll give this to you first, but can I ask you to give my bag of money to my child even if I die?"
"Can."
"Thank you!"
"Need not……"
"wave?"
"Thank you so much...Lang? What? Little girl, what did you say...Lang?!!!"
"Emergency! Emergency! All employees please evacuate immediately after completing their work! Please reply if you get it! Please reply if you get it!"
"Why is this happening?! Shouldn't you give us an explanation?!" He Yuezhe shouted angrily at the small camera.
But the camera just kept saying: "Emergency! Emergency! All employees, please evacuate immediately after completing your work! Please reply if you get it! Please reply if you get it!"
“Come up!!”
“Oh, okay, okay!!”
"Why are you still here? Go away!!!"
"I know! What's his situation?!"
"There was a small wave over there just now, and he fainted from fright."
"waste."
"It's no use saying this now. Come with me quickly. There's a cave over there. Let's go to that mountain first—"
“Auntie Su!!!”
The waves seemed to have life. Streams of water, riding on the huge waves and mixed with unknown creatures, rushed towards the few people at a rapid speed.
Pulling up the woman, the three of them were all soaked, and they hurried to the cave halfway up the mountain.
Unfortunately, the speed of the 'water' was too fast. It easily caught up with the three people, and then -
"boom!!!!!!"
"Child, run!" The woman reached out and pushed He Yuezhe forward. "I promised your mother that I would take good care of you to the best of my ability. In the past, because of her foolish decisions, I didn't want to see you. But now, run! Child, run! You must survive!"
“Auntie Su!!!”
"I, little girl, please, I won't live anymore, I won't live anymore, but please, give the money to my child!!" The man also reached out and pushed He Yuezhe forward, "If possible, please tell 'it' for me, tell 'it' that the person I feel most sorry for in my life is 'it', but 'it' must get better--"
"boom!!!!!!!!"
"boom!!!!!!!!"
"boom!!!!!!!!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao! You finally woke up!"
"……grandmother?"
"Oh my little treasure, my little pomegranate, you've suffered so much, but it's okay now. Grandma has made your favorite food for you. When you feel better, eat more, read a book, watch TV, and be happy, okay..."
"Grandma, why are you here... No, no... Grandma, is my right eye blind?"
“…”
“…”
"It's okay, Xiaobao, it's okay. The doctor will give you an artificial eye. It's no different from a real eye, and even more powerful. Don't be afraid, Xiaobao, don't be afraid."
“…Well, grandma, I’m not afraid.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
"anaesthetization."
"The eyeball is severely ruptured and corroded, so it can't be saved. Ask the family. If they agree, throw it away."
"disinfect."
"Give me the artificial eye."
"The size is not right, change it."
"No, change."
"Change."
"Change."
"Change again."
"No, change."
"Change."
"Change."
"Change!"
"Change!!"
"Change!!!!!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
The horrible feeling of the artificial eye being taken out and put in again and again still lingered in his eye sockets. His whole body felt cold and uncomfortable as if it had been soaked in water. He Yuezhe opened his eyes, gasping for breath.
“Hu, hu, hu…”
"Are you awake?"
"...Well, how long will it take?"
He Yuezhe was held by Chen Shu, and the two of them and Ban Weile sat in the back seat of the car which was obviously made by Jiang Ruoshi himself.
The car was full of children, who were laughing and waving their toys, talking about their wild imaginations, and their imaginations of the unknown sea.
“…”
"Did you have a nightmare?" Chen Shu asked with concern.
"Yeah, I dreamed about some things from the past." He Yuezhe replied, snuggling into her soft clothes.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. The dream is over, everything is over, and life is beautiful now." Chen Shuo patted her body gently.
Ban Weile also said: "Yes, it's okay, little doll, you don't have to be afraid, we are here for you if anything happens, we will face it together!"
"Thank you." He Yuezhe lowered his eyes.
Sea, what exactly is the sea?
"Hey, look, this is the sea, so beautiful! Wow, there's even a sunset!"
She had heard her grandmother talk about the sea, a very large and beautiful area. That was the sea.
When she first saw 'water', she thought it was the sea, but it was not beautiful, on the contrary, it was scary.
"Yes, so far away! It's blue, and there are also... Hey, those are fish!"
But if even it is not the sea, is there any place bigger than it that can be called the sea?
So, that is the sea, and the 'water' they need is the human sea.
"Oh, Dean Jiang, we're here now! We can see the ocean! We need to go fishing!! We need to pick up tons of shells and clean up everyone's trash!"
Why are cities "enclosed" in the sea?
Why do they need the sea?
"Yes, we are little environmental defenders!"
The city has many terrifying secrets, like dark clouds that always weigh heavily on everyone, making it hard to breathe.
"Okay, here we are!" Jiang Ruoshi's voice came from the front of the car. "Little environmentalists, grab your bags, shovels, pliers, and toys, and let's get out of the car!"
But, so what?
"Let's go."
"good."
"Let's go!!"
Humans are strong, resilient, and resilient.
Even if the sky falls, the sea floods, and violent storms come, humans will still smile, hold hands, and say -
"This is our world. It cannot destroy us. We will always be united and stand tall in this world!"
"Humanity, never surrender!"
The children got off the car with laughter, walked barefoot on the beach, picking up shells and garbage. They all had some changes in their bodies because of this world, but they never gave in. They always smiled and eagerly faced this world which was a little bad, but also sparkled with tiny beautiful things.
As He Yuezhe watched, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Yes, this is what human beings are like.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sea breeze.
This is us.
