Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1097 Doctor Cat secretly hopes that even if there is a fly, let me swoop on it now
"The first point is also the point that I think is relatively easy to accept."

When he spoke, Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia apologetically.She was indeed trying to prevent the other party from staying on purpose, and she couldn't say why—maybe it was just because she wanted to take Bohemia with her.At the thought of breaking her expectations, Lin Sanjiu felt a little guilty.

"...the people here are really part of the natural cycle, literally."

"What do you mean?" Bohemia leaned closer.

"The mushrooms here are in a dominant position, right? But even they don't have the position that human beings can act recklessly and unscrupulously on Earth. Oh, you don't know—" Lin Sanjiu pondered for a few seconds, and explained: " In short, from the information we have obtained, when mushrooms are alive, they must purify the air, accommodate residents, and maintain the functioning of society; after they die, they must become soil nutrients and provide supplies... You see, their skins will be peeled off Come down and become raw materials for roads, clothing, etc. Even mushrooms are like this, so what about human beings?"

Doctor Cat let out a long yawn, then washed his face with his paws for a while.For it, there may be no more boring subject than the present conversation.

"It is impossible for human beings to enjoy benefits in this society without obligations. This is different from the human society on Earth in the past. People here have taken from nature and have to give back to nature..."

"So what is it?" Bohemia's heart hung on for a long time, and she became angry: "Are you still talking about the topic?"

Lin Sanjiu sighed: "Have you forgotten? You still told me... After the people here die, there is no funeral ceremony, and they are not buried in the ground. They will only become nourishment...for the growth of new mushrooms stand up."

Lao Da of the garbage dump secretly obtained so many corpses and wanted to transport them out of the Mushroom City because he knew that new mushrooms would grow from those corpses.Lin Sanjiu still remembers that many of those corpses were old people, which means that the proportion of natural deaths may not be low; those corpses that died of natural causes were probably originally buried in a place where mushrooms needed to grow. of the place.

Bohemia tilted her head, her big golden brown eyes shone slightly.

"That's it?" She didn't seem to take it seriously at all, "You are dead, why do you care where to bury it? Isn't it the same for other animals and plants? Just you old world People who are hypocritical, they put chemical materials in the coffin after they die, I have seen those coffins, worms can't bite through them, and after 100 years, they are still a plastic-like corpse, which is a big piece that can't be handled Rubbish, it's disgusting. Let me see, you old world people are used to it."

Doctor Cat turned to look at Lin Sanjiu. Although the cat couldn't laugh, its whiskers trembled for a while.

Even if he expected the informality of Bohemia, Lin Sanjiu was still a little embarrassed.

"What kind of messy burial methods are you in the twelve worlds-no, listen to me, burial is not just hypocritical... It is a way for human beings to try to understand life and death. Death is like life, the essence In fact, it is because we miss life so much that we don't understand why it should die. In other words, we value our own life so much that we take death, which ends it, so seriously... We hope that death is life the other side of the

When she said this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and found that Doctor Cat was so drowsy that she couldn't open her eyes.

"After the disappearance of human's fear and obsession with death, death itself becomes insignificant, and the subsequent psychological impact is that life becomes less precious." She was afraid that Bohemia would not understand , so I had to make an analogy: "For example, you have a lover—forget it, let me change another example. For example, you have a pair of earrings, and you feel that it doesn't matter even if you lose them. Then when you have them, do you think they are very rare? ?”

Bohemia shook her head, and the big dark green stone earrings jingled for a while.

"This is the second point I discovered. People in the mushroom society pay great attention to the meaning of life, but in fact they don't pay that much attention to life-very contradictory, isn't it?"

"How do you know?" She was a little unconvinced.

"I found several clues that can prove this." Lin Sanjiu waited for her to ask, and quickly replied: "In the Lobster Body Repair Center, there are only some very basic facilities, such as ointment, hospital beds, and bandages. It should be a substitute for a hospital, but in fact, if you have a slightly more complicated disease, you may not be able to see it at all. When I brought the puppeteer in, I felt strange... There is no one on duty Doctors and nurses, no medical examination equipment, no first aid facilities, even Exodus' medical room can't compare..."

She raised her eyes to look at the experience hall with closed doors not far away, and said: "So, I just checked all the occupations in the experience list. Garbage workers, strawberry farmers, writers, molecular deconstructors...there are all kinds of occupations, Only there are no doctors or nurses."

Bohemia pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Mei Jia was beaten so badly, logically she should be sent to the hospital, right? After all, she is just an ordinary girl physically and has not evolved. But in her memory, she just 'did not go to school and recuperated at home' ...I was sure at that time that she didn't go to the hospital because people here don't have the habit of going to the hospital at all."

"What should I do if I'm sick?" Bohemia looked up and asked.

"I guess, what do the animals in the natural world do when they get sick, so do the people here," Lin Sanjiu replied bluntly, "Maybe there are a little more treatment methods. The living environment here is good, and the people are not so It's just that it's prone to failure—it's just that the natural weariness that comes with age can't be delayed."

Doctor Cat suddenly opened his eyes at some point, and interjected: "That's right, you will die when you live until the day you die. What are you worried about? I really don't understand you. You are still alive and well, but you are dying every day." Take it to heart..." It fell asleep while talking, it seemed really boring.

Bohemia looked at it without saying a word—which probably wasn't shocking enough for a kid from the Twelve who already lacked proper medical care.

Lin Sanjiu decided to remind her of another matter. "Do you remember that old lady?"

"How could I forget!" Bohemia's face changed.

"The moment she opened the door, she looked good. Even if she wasn't a child with a white hair, she could still be considered strong. But when she recognized us as the wanted criminals on TV... she acted like it was her last day." look." Lin Sanjiu frowned, "I felt something was wrong at the time. She looked like she was only sixty, and in modern human society, her old age was just beginning... She was fine, why did she pull We kept reminiscing about the past, eating the dishes we used to cook, as if time was running out? The most surprising thing is that after the reminiscences were over, she actually died—so suddenly.”

Bohemia straightened her waist like an owl that noticed the enemy: "You mean..."

"Yes, I finally understand now. She found out that we were wanted criminals, and she decided to give up her life on the spot to keep us."

This sentence, of course, led to more questions—Bohemia didn't react slowly, and immediately asked: "A big living person, can he just die? You said she used her own life to keep us here." ... what do you mean?"

"The first answer is, yes." Lin Sanjiu nodded his temple, "The willpower generated by the human brain is enormous... If your brain doesn't think that your left leg can move, then you It will really become a cripple, and her situation is probably a little different from ours. How is it different? It is the answer to your second question. Do you remember what happened to the old lady's body? Right? She didn't turn into a zombie, although her body did 'walk' to the window and broke in two... At that time, something poured out of her body, you should guess what it is by now right?"

Bohemia was startled, and said softly, "... spores?"
