404 No City Found

Zhao Zheng simply waited for his next words.

"Forget it," Zhu Rong stopped talking, "I'm talking about you, not your friends. You're just covering it up, it's really disappointing."

Zhao Zheng smiled: "I'm afraid there is no need to be honest with you."

Zhu Rong: "You don't have the need to be with anyone, but people don't only do what is necessary. Sensibility, impulsiveness, and incompleteness are the beauty of human beings. What do you have?"

Zhao Zheng really had nothing to say.

Zhu Rong said: "I don't mean any malice, I'm just curious. There are too many contradictions in you. You have a strange dragon spirit and a strange fate. Everything that exists in this world has its definite destiny. It grows towards the tide of history, but you are not. You are an anomaly."

"I have heard people say that the development of human civilization is a process of reducing entropy," Zhao Zhengdao, "Where the trend of the world will lead you, it does not mean that the world is right, but most people are increasing entropy , follow the trend, don’t waste energy and energy, don’t do unique things, everyone goes downhill, and one day they will all reach the bottom of the pit, like a group of maggots in a dung tank.”①

"Don't believe too much in the so-called tide, fate, and the way of heaven, Zhu Rong. I already understand that I am an odd number, but I accept this kind of myself. Not everyone is born to be resigned to fate."

Zhu Rong said nothing for a long time.

Zhao Zheng finally said: "I'm just talking, and I just want to tell you that I have no secrets to hide, only facts that I can't tell you."

Zhu Rong said: "Let's move on, kid, you will face a lot in the future, and sooner or later you will understand and regret it."

The wind picked up again, and it was a quiet night.

A fire was lit in front of the carriage, and it was crackling, everyone gathered together, chatting with each other, and Fuyou slept next to the fire with Xiaoman in his arms.Zhao Zheng walked back to the camp and asked, "Where's Kang Tu?"

Gonggong said, "Isn't it with you?"

Zhao Zheng went to look for Yan Lingfei, who was already asleep, lying sprawled on the carriage snoring, and was still dissatisfied when he was shaken awake, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Zheng asked, "Where's Kang Tu?"

Yan Lingfei said: "I don't know, your wife lost it and came to ask me? Should I look after him for you?"

"He went looking for you," said Zhao Zheng, who had a particularly good temper today, "Think about it."

Yan Lingfei turned over impatiently: "I was by the river just now, I don't know now."

Zhao Zheng went to the river to find someone again. Looking down the slope, the grass was luxuriant and swaying gently with the wind. Glowing flying insects danced among the grass, accompanied by the sound of running water, which was very gentle.Kang Tu lay on the grass and fell asleep.When he walked over, Kang Tu opened his eyes and smiled at him.

Zhao Zheng sat beside him: "Why don't you go back to sleep?"

Kang Tu said, "I'm waiting for you, it's too slow."

"Do you remember the sentence you told me earlier?" Zhao Zheng asked, "The one about entropy."

"Remember, what happened?"

Zhao Zheng said, "I think it's right."

"Didn't you say it was boring?" Kang Tu said, "It will be the same after a while."

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Suddenly I think it's okay."

Kang Tu rubbed on the ground twice, pillowed on his lap, looked at the sky, he was still a little sleepy, and spoke in a confused way: "What did you say to Zhu Rong?"

"Discussed my anomaly."

"Don't listen to his fart." Kang Tu said.

Zhao Zheng ran his fingers through Kang Tu's hair, and Kang Tu turned his head to avoid it: "I haven't washed it for a few days."

"It's not oily," said Zhao Zheng, "the water soaked up today."

Kang Tu somehow felt that Zhao Zheng was very gentle today, he opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Zheng lifted him up, put a pillow on his stomach, and lay down after him, put his hands on Kang Tu's face and said, "I'm fine, I just suddenly felt that it is difficult for humans and gods to coexist. "

Kang Tu asked casually, "Why?"

"God wants to maintain order, but man wants to break it," said Zhao Zheng. "The concept is different."

Kang Tu: "Because they were born at the right time, they only live in the current world, and they only want to protect the people here."

Zhao Zheng thought for a while, sat up and said, "We may not be able to follow this team anymore. Think about why there are no traces of gods in future generations. Maybe gods don't exist anymore."

Kang Tu was stunned for a moment, and the first thing he thought of was Fuyou.

Zhao Zheng looked down at him: "What are you thinking?"

Kang Tu said, "Then shall we go to Yanhuang?"

"Let's talk about your thoughts first," Zhao Zheng said, "Listen to you, it's all guesswork anyway."

Kang Tu: "..."

Zhao Zheng insisted on asking him to speak, but Kang Tu couldn't help but said, "I can do anything, I can go anywhere."

"Then stay here." Zhao Zheng said.

Kang Tu sat up, and the two faced each other, he said, "Why?"

Zhao Zhengnahan: "Don't you want to stay?"

"You don't have to do this, it's not the two of us who are doing the task, but also Ouyang and the others, and I don't want to affect you." Kang Tu said.

"Don't care about them," Zhao Zheng said, "Let's stay, they can do whatever they want."

Kang Tu: "..."

Seeing his expression, Zhao Zheng asked again: "What else? Tell me what you think."

Kang Tu said: "It's not a question of where I want to go, nor is it a question of listening to me if you want to, but rather, if the two of us were not together, you wouldn't do this, and I don't want to affect you , understand? I want you to do what you want, it's as simple as that."

"I just want to know what you think," Zhao Zheng looked at him flatly, "It's also very simple."

Kang Tu felt that he couldn't continue talking with him, so he eased his tone and said calmly, "I think you win."

"Come here," Zhao Zheng said, "I'll show you something."

Kang Tu looked at him suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Zheng took out his watch from his pocket. They will hand in their mobile phones and clothes when they go out on missions, but the watch that records the work points will be left for them to check at any time. It can also be cleared if the work points are cleared after the accidental death of a member Judgment is not their own doing.

Kang Tu suddenly had a premonition that was a little exciting. He didn't know how to make a normal expression to pretend to be calm, so he looked very sluggish. Zhao Zheng operated twice, and a small screen lit up in midair , a large string of densely packed numbers rolled up, and finally stopped at a string of total numbers.

Zhao Zheng said: "You count, how much is it?"

Kang Tu let out an "ah", looked at him blankly, then glanced at the screen again: "How much is it?"

Zhao Zheng smiled: "Stupid?"

"23," Zhao Zheng answered for him, "Isn't Brother Li powerful?"

"Excellent." Kang Tu immediately put the unhappiness behind him, and said sincerely.

Zhao Zheng said: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose in this kind of mission that doesn't divide camps, it just depends on the overall performance of the individual. And I told you that work points are very important because others think it is very important, but I don't care because We can't live by the rule that only the highest work points can escape, let alone now it's not me alone, but the two of us, this thing is just a way out, not everything."

Kang Tu thought to himself: "You never said this before."

After he came here, many concepts and understandings were given to him by Zhao Zheng. He unconsciously followed Zhao Zheng's example.Don't think about the future, don't have hope, just live one day at a time, and help Zhao Zheng by his side. This is his belief.He didn't want Zhao Zheng to change because of himself, which would have any bad influence, so he was extra cautious.He didn't count himself in the game, and he didn't think about the day he would leave 404.

Maybe this is what Zhao Zheng is dissatisfied with.

Zhao Zheng stood up, handed him a hand to pull him up, and said, "Have you figured out where to go?"

Kang Tu said: "Stay here, I'm a little worried about floating."

If, as Zhao Zheng said, this war is inevitable, then he hopes that Fuyou can escape unscathed. People always have pity for beautiful things, not to mention that he is the first friend Kang Tu made here.

Zhao Zheng said, "Okay."

Kang Tu couldn't help but sighed, "Actually, you're very good at it."

Before this, Kang Tu always felt that Zhao Zheng was not good at dealing with feelings and was not suitable for dating by nature, but today he began to feel that he was superficial.Zhao Zheng changed the identities of lovers and friends very quickly. A few days ago, he wanted Kang Tu to remember and forced him to design a plan for Hua Yu's kidnapping. Now he is also dissatisfied, but he knows that he can't. Forced, learned to be persuasive.

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "I'm afraid of you, it's so hard for you to tell the truth."

Kang Tu didn't expect Zhao Zheng to show him his work points, or he thought about it sometimes, but he didn't think it would be so soon.He has always felt that the two of them are still getting along, and are still looking for a way to get along with each other. Maybe Zhao Zheng will leave, maybe he will back down in the end. But now Zhao Zheng is braver than him.

Zhao Zheng didn't want to say anything more, but seeing that Kang Tu was distracted all the way, he said, "I treat you well because you deserve it."

Kang Tu said, "I think there is nothing I can give you."

"Live well," Zhao Zheng said again, "No matter when or what happens, don't give up, just promise me this, and that's it."

Kang Tu asked sharply, "What will happen?"

Zhao Zheng put his arms around him, bowed his head and kissed him casually, and said, "Nothing will happen. I just don't trust you. Go back and go through the marriage procedures, so as not to be assigned to the hostile camp next time. How about it?" ?”

Kang Tu: "!!!"
