Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1377 One of Four Billion and One
Lin Sanjiu half leaned on a hot object, unable to move anymore.

Her body was on the verge of death, but her life turned around.For her, life and death have never been so close as they are at this moment.In the dark rain, she closed her eyes hard and squeezed the rain from between her eyelashes. When she opened them again, she saw the two figures rushing towards her getting bigger and clearer.

"Sister, sister!"

Someone put a hand into the back of her neck, held her head that couldn't be lifted, and gently helped her up.Ji Shanqing's voice was distorted by the shock of anxiety and fear. A child who was obviously so eloquent now seemed to be unable to say anything except "sister".

"Don't panic," another voice sounded from the side, the tone was sharp enough to cut through metal—"Left shoulder, stop the bleeding!"

Compared with the soft and low voice before, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe it was Siba'an's voice.

"They only came two people, and our armored vehicles are still there," a voice called out from the pier behind, piercing through the uproar of rain, "Reinforcements have been called for, and now we will gather again!"

This should be an order from the internal communication system, but it rang out from all the nearby loudspeakers.Great... Han Suiping is still safe.

Lin Sanjiu slightly opened his eyes, the heavy black sky was raging with wind and rain, and a bolt of lightning exploded in the rolling dark clouds.The raindrops hit her face without interruption, and soon blurred her vision.She worked hard a few times, and finally heard the gift bag asking in a panic, "Sister, what did you say?"

"...Don't do it yet." She tried to support herself with the arm that was still intact, and Sibaan hurriedly helped her into his arms so that she could sit up a little bit.As soon as the words were out of their mouths, both of them paused; the heavy rain kept pouring down, drowning out the sound of the crawlers on the pier crushing the ground for a while.

"Why?" Sparan asked softly.

Regardless of what the package was doing, his first aid was working fast.The passing of vitality was getting slower and slower, and she began to feel that she had the strength to speak again. "This...is not the end of the world," she looked at the two drenched people in front of her, and said in a low voice: "If you do it now...the world will end, and so many lives...will die In the last days."

She could hear her own voice, amplified countless times, echoing from the rain in all directions.This time, no news helicopter will be able to ask to "cut it off".

"...I see. Sister, what do you plan to do with this world?" Li Bao asked softly.This sentence also swept out on the earth, resounding through the heaven and the earth.

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.She never thought about what she planned to make of this world.

At this moment before she opened her mouth, Sibaan suddenly leaned her back on the object that was no longer warm—this time she saw clearly that it was a rain-beaten object Shell casings.Siba'an stood tall and said in a low voice: "They are going to attack, I'll block it... don't worry, I'm just blocking."

When artillery fire, gunshots, storms, and the power attacks of the evolutionaries once again shook the world, Lin Sanjiu could feel the ground shaking slightly under him.

But where she lay, all that fell from the sky was rain.Sibaan is just one person. Standing on such a vast battlefield, he can keep all the flames of war out of his grasp; his eyes and his back have become two worlds.

Ji Shanqing bent down and covered Lin Sanjiu's ears with his cold hands.

Her hearing gradually recovered, and her thinking gradually became clearer; she finally dared to let the black mist dissipate and become a kidney again, so that she would not die on the spot after losing the body of an evolutionary.She felt her lips were separated, and some cool liquid poured in, and the gift bag was coaxing her tremblingly: "It will be fine soon, the pain will be gone soon..."

After Sibaan stood out for only a minute or two, the gunfire on the opposite side stopped again.This time the truce was different; they seemed drenched in shock, and the silence trickled down from the horror into a dead silence.

One is that no matter how hard you fight, you can't die, and the other is that you have completely lost the meaning of fighting.

"Illegal violence ahead..." The loudspeaker rang half a sentence, but was suddenly interrupted; after a few seconds, it was replaced by a human voice, shouting to them amidst the sound of rain: "I am responsible for this Major General of this operation, I ask for negotiations."

"Help me..." Lin Sanjiu grabbed Ji Shanqing's arm and said, "I'm going."

"Going to negotiate?" Ji Shanqing's face was washed white by the rain, and his black hair was wetly stuck to his face; he didn't look at anything, but only looked at her without blinking. "Sister, you don't really need to... As long as you leave here, whether you die tens of millions or hundreds of millions, it's just a number. You can get on the boat now... The rest will be left to us."

The kid looked really pissed off.

Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, leaned his weight on him, and whispered, "You know, I think the luckiest thing in my life is to have you."

Ji Shanqing suddenly shut his mouth.

Supported by the gift bag, she limped towards the back of Sibaan in front of her.He noticed the movement, and turned his head; in the heavy rain, his original blond green eyes became thick and dark with the sky light. "I think you might have something to say," he gently stretched out his hand towards Lin Sanjiu, the line of his arm was clearly outlined by his wet clothes. "So I let them come over."

Several armored vehicles approached, and the strong light from the searchlights tore through the rain curtain, revealing a bright open space between the two worlds separated by Sparan.A few figures in military uniform climbed down from the armored vehicle, surrounded a man in front, walked over slowly, and stopped in the distance.

"You have destroyed the stability and balance of our world," the major general frowned, stared at Lin Sanjiu for a while, and asked a similar question: "What do you want now?"

Lin Sanjiu looked over the major general, over the people behind him, and fell into a place farther between heaven and earth.

She had an idea.

*
He Huan sighed softly.

Even after Lin Sanjiu successfully sent the message, for him, leaving this world was still a slightly ridiculous thought.The universe is so big that even the human mind can’t understand it; how long does it take for a message to reach the recipient, and how long does it take for the recipient to arrive?——Thinking about it, it seems that it will take at least a few years time.

...However, common sense failed this time.

"I'll take you across the border and go around to the other side of the pier." He suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind, turned his head and said to the girl beside him, "Do you see that direction? Let's rush from there, just We can get to them."

Wu Lun was completely soaked, standing in the icy rain, shaking and nodding.She didn't dare to look at He Huan, her tone was mixed with fear and gratitude: "Thank you, you saved me... Will you come with me too, Miss An?"

He Huan nodded, stepped over a dead body, and motioned for her to follow. "As you can see, I am also an evolutionary," he heard a bitter voice in his throat: "I will go with them too."

Wu Lun stiffly avoided the dead body on the ground who was guarding her not long ago, and hurriedly followed. "She'll take you away," whispered the young girl. "I haven't known her very long, but I just know..."

He Huan never doubted this point.

He didn't say a word all the way around the battlefield and into the dock.He obviously should take advantage of Wu Lun's gratitude to make his safe boat ticket more solid; but for some reason, He Huan just didn't bother to speak.

There are many thoughts and emotions that rush from my mind to my mouth, but I can't melt a word.He felt that even if he could leave this world today, a part of him seemed to stay here forever, in this wind and rain, unable to see the sky clearly.

He has survived for so long that he even forgot whether he had ever persevered for something like Lin Sanjiu and Guan Hailian.

The person who came to receive Lin Sanjiu's help was definitely capable of dragging the world into doomsday, but that man just stood tall on the ruins, blocking all the artillery fire.After guarding Wu Lun and bypassing most of the battlefield, no bullet could penetrate the man's barrier and fall beside them; when he was about to enter the range where Lin Sanjiu and his party were, He Huan stopped suddenly foot.

"What, what's the matter?" Wu Lun had already become a frightened bird.

"There is no danger ahead, keep going straight from here," He Huan pointed, and said, "You can walk to Lin Sanjiu. They will definitely find you immediately, but I don't think you have anything to worry about." of."

Wu Lun was stunned for a moment and understood. "You... won't you go find her with me?" She asked a little helplessly, "Don't you also want to leave this world?"

He Huan was silent for a while.Lin Sanjiu would not refuse to help a strange evolution... He is completely another person at this moment.

"I..." He opened his lips, his low voice was broken up by the heavy rain, he didn't care whether Wu Lun could hear him or not. "I think of it, a long time ago, I actually made a decision...the decision to stay."

Wu Lun looked at him and asked, "What did you say?"

"Whatever decision is made, there will naturally be a corresponding consequence... I have nothing to complain about." He said to himself here, raised his voice and said, "You go, I'm leaving."

Before Wu Lun could respond, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

He wanted to find a bottle of whiskey and pour it into a glass.

*
Except for the Copper Land Wharf, the whole city held its breath.In the torrential rain, every street was deserted, and even the people who were in charge of patrolling during the martial law were nowhere to be seen.

When Deng Yilan jumped off the wall, she fell on the floor tiles, and her knees, calves, and arms were covered with blood. When she walked in the rain, the rain kept hitting her wounds, as if she was being tortured endlessly.Intellectually, she knew that the hospital was far away from the Copperland Wharf, even if it took more than half an hour by car; but she was still running forward with great strides, even though she had slipped and fell two or three times.

How about running over there?Why go?Uncle Zhang can't come out anymore.

She is not an evolutionary, nor will she leave this world.The pier where Han Jun died for no reason, the hospital where Uncle Zhang slowly went mad, and even this absurd world gave her an urge to escape—but she never thought of cutting the past and throwing the future away. into the wind.

What drove Deng Yilan stumbling forward was probably her irrepressible urge to speak.

What happens on this land will eventually be buried in silence.She, like millions of others, has no voice, no face, no image; she is part of a vague, ambiguous, vast community, she has only existed as one of 40 billion, not as one .

For the first time, she was so clearly aware of what she wanted to do now: She wanted to stand on the Copperland Pier and let them see her and hear her.She wanted that power to carry her own voice, to ring out from every corner, so that she would never be pushed away, carried away, ignored.

From a certain point of view, on this rainy morning, Deng Yilan became Deng Yilan for the first time.

However, the pier is too far away.

The voice on the pier was heard throughout the city, and she knew very well what was happening on the other side of the city at this moment, and she also knew that no matter how hard she ran, she would not be able to catch up.The voice of the major general asking for negotiations is now buzzing from an electrical appliance store ahead—"You have destroyed the stability and balance of our world, what do you want now?"

Deng Yilan slowed down and stopped in front of the electrical appliance store.She glanced in the direction of the Copperland Wharf, and there were only tall and short buildings in her vision.

The female evolutionary named Lin Sanjiu—the female voice she heard once on the phone—after a few seconds of silence, said in a low voice: "You tell other countries that I will destroy the balance if I leave. Bringing about the doomsday... Is this the truth?"

"Of course it's the truth!" The major general continued.His voice was also trembling slightly, as if he was angry when faced with fear but could not imagine it.

Lin Sanjiu laughed angrily, which he could hear clearly even in the storm. "Is it the truth? Answer me after you think about it. In this country... I have seen lies everywhere."

"This is slander, we are doing our best - you turn off this radio thing first."

Deng Yilan's heart tightened, and she was relieved when she heard Lin Sanjiu's voice rang through countless speakers, TVs, mobile phones and players through the glass of the shop again. "I'll ask you again. Do you really think that someone coming to pick me up might bring about the end of the world?"

This time, the man's voice paused for a while.

"We...don't rule out the possibility."

Lin Sanjiu snorted a laugh, which made Deng Yilan get goosebumps.But the next sentence made her tremble uncontrollably as if she had been electrocuted.

"Since there is already the possibility of the end of the world, then I will destroy it to the end." She said softly, "Break the old ones, and only after going through chaos and labor pains can new things be born. Living here People on a piece of land should have the right to decide the future of this piece of land."

Deng Yilan slammed on the glass of the shop suddenly, screaming continuously.She didn't know that she could shout so loudly, desperately, almost madly; but even though her throat was tearing, she could still hear the major general's answer, which easily drowned out her screams.

"We'll be able to represent the people of this land," he seemed incredulous at the good fortune, trying to remain serious in his haste: "Let me tell you, we all unanimously demand—"

"No, no, don't listen to what they say," Deng Yilan kept hitting the glass, louder and louder, as if every word was stained with blood: "Wait for me to go to the pier, wait for me to go to the pier! Can you hear me? I have something to say!"

She didn't expect that after she uttered the last half of her sentence, all the sound equipment in the store suddenly played together; a huge sound wave rushed out from behind the glass, echoed on the street, echoed in the city, and merged into a There were countless hisses from far and near: "I have something to say!"

Deng Yilan was startled, she didn't know what happened for a while, and stood frozen in the pouring rain for a long time.There was a dark water curtain in front of her eyes, and the sky was gloomy, and she could only see the trees on the side of the road constantly shaken by the wind, and the empty sidewalk.

She lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

When Deng Yilan raised her head again, there was one more person in front of her.

"Are you going to the pier?" The man stretched out a hand towards her, his eyes were dark green, and his teeth were white when he smiled.The rain slid down his face, as if he was feeling and caressing every inch of his outline with his own body, and couldn't bear to fall.

"Come on, I'll take you away."

　Not only Lin Sanjiu was saved.
