Your shadow is reflected on the wall, your silver-gray eyes are as cold as steel, but that smile is indelible, as pale as moonlight, unexpectedly a little ignorant.Calvino would laugh when he hadn't touched the brutal truth, hadn't assimilated into the gray steel that surrounded him.You reached out to the wall to touch him, but you acted like a stone thrown into a sink, and that smile crumbled to pieces under your fingertips.

A person holds your finger, and his body temperature is like ice.

"Lin Luo, what do you choose?" He asked you.

What is there to choose?What is the difference between a cage made of steel and your arms, Calvino?You regard me as the enemy of freedom, and you want to break all the shackles brought about by me—but these chains are clearly tied around your neck by yourself, not me.

I am not your enemy, I love you.

This is not some evil magic of branding rules, not... Calvino, do you understand, do you really understand?

You jerk your eyes open.

"You're awake." Calvino, who was sitting next to him, pressed your forehead while adjusting the instrument in front of him.

"Everything is normal," Calvino said slightly relieved, "Come down first and see how your body recovers."

You lifted the quilt, stepped on the cold floor barefoot, and took tentative steps. Calvino stretched out his arms nervously to make a protective gesture. You smiled and held his hand in front of you, "It's okay, look, I'm fine." Calvino froze for a moment, you let go of your hands unnaturally, and sat back on the bed.

You rubbed your throat and began to look around, "I'm a little thirsty... where is this place? What happened—zombies! Zombies! I'm obviously infected!" Calvino pushed you back on the bed, "No, those things don't It may hurt you, this is the destination designated by Gustav, you have awakened your abilities, and now you need to rest."

"Supernatural power? Can I try it now?" Calvino grabbed your pretendingly outstretched hand, which was quite strong - it hurt you a little, "No!"

"Why? You can't take my rights away, I'm going to try now—unless you give me a reason, huh?"

"I, I..." Calvino stammered, "This is dangerous, dangerous to you."

"How do you know? Also, you seem to care about me?"

"I……"

You couldn't pretend anymore, couldn't help laughing, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Okay, I know, you don't need to explain anything, tell me, how long have I been in a coma?"

"Three weeks," Calvino said, "your bodily functions are almost at a standstill, and I had to spend more time."

"Now let's go and listen to Gustav's lecture - I guess he must have been waiting for a long time, where's the USB drive?"

"You should rest……"

"Too much time is wasted. I don't want to continue to lie on the bed. Give it to me."

You pulled the USB flash drive he handed over, and ran all the way.Calvino followed you, you didn't look back at him, you walked through the long and narrow metal corridor on your own, with the corners of your clothes flying behind you, and finally arrived at the destination with all kinds of twists and turns, when you were about to push the door, Calvino stopped up your arm.

"Lin Luo, why don't you go in?"

The pair of silver eyes staring at you showed a fragile expression, and Calvino even pleaded, "I can tell you everything, don't go."

Your smile faded, and your voice was so cruel for the first time, "I know everything, I already knew." You gently pulled away his hand that was holding your sleeve.

You insert the USB flash drive into the communication device called "Dr. E", and the laser pointer in front of you starts to work. In the air with floating dust, a figure of an old man is gradually piled up. He is sitting in a wheelchair with his face The wrinkles on his face show a kind expression common to all age groups,

"Hello, Lin Luo, my name is Gustav, I used to work for the Russian Tunguska Research Institute, which is the underground fortress you are in now, and now I am a scientist at the base—sit down, I want to finish listening to an old man's chatter Nagging is very exhausting. Don't be surprised, child, it's just a simple gadget like a hyperwave transmitter, which is worthless before the end of the day. With this, both of us can see each other's image."

"I'm not surprised, Dr. Gustave, I'm just eager to know your secret." You pulled the chair next to you casually - obviously Calvino had carefully wiped the dust.

"I'm sorry that I didn't disclose any information to you before this, you must have a bad impression of me, but believe me, I have no choice but to, and now I can tell you everything right away.

Since we can meet, it means that that person has not done you any harm. Let me give this lengthy speech a starting point—what do you think caused the end of the world? "

"The end of the world?" You turned the chair casually, and began to answer from memory,

"Excessive hydrocarbon burning did not directly harm humans by changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, but caused a severe greenhouse effect and extreme weather, causing Russia's permafrost near the North Pole to begin to melt, releasing what would have been in the Ice Age and dinosaurs The ancient virus that was buried together caused a large-scale infection of the organism. The infected person lost consciousness, moved slowly, stagnated body functions, and had a primitive thirst for flesh and blood. It could easily cause secondary infection through blood and saliva, resulting in zombies The end of the siege."

"You are a good student, but it's a pity that this is not true." You showed a surprised expression in coordination, and Gustav smiled on his face, and said slowly,

"The real source of the end of the world was born here, at the Tunguska Research Institute. This requires mentioning a historical fact: On June 1908, 6, a strong earthquake occurred near the Shiquan Tunguska River in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The power of the big bang is equivalent to 30 to 10 megatons of explosives. People have always believed that the explosion was caused by an asteroid, but in 20, physicist Kasatsov overturned the long-standing "meteorite theory" , and turned to confirm that the 'Tunguska explosion' was a nuclear explosion,

What is even more astonishing is that he also proposed that the mysterious monster that caused the Tunguska explosion was the first spaceship to visit our earth. After that, Kasatsov asked the government to build a research institute in Tunguska to secretly study the possible legacy of aliens. clues of

This research has been going on for nearly a hundred years. Although the research institute did not find any strong evidence, it accidentally discovered that there is a special frequency of radiation at the explosion site. Seeing the powerful shaping effect, a group started a tentative experiment, from mature body to larvae, from animal to human being, this experiment driven by pure interest unexpectedly got unexpected results: this kind of radiation has an effect on the differentiation process of organisms. Strong guiding effect, great possibility of endowing larvae with superpowers—forgive me for using this old word, so the research institute secretly carried out a series of experiments.

After numerous failures, the most perfect individual was produced - you must know him, he is the 201st 'Calvino', a child with silver hair and silver eyes.He is the whole effort of the research institute, and he has lived up to expectations. He has surpassed the scope of human beings, successfully withstood his own powerful power, and did not collapse.

Initially, Calvino's research did not have any purpose, but under the operation of the last dean of the institute, a batch of serums of experimental subjects were produced and put into general use, and these serums are the zombies The real origin of the virus.

The use of serum in the initial stage did not cause any adverse reactions, and even gave some ordinary people who used it special abilities-you call them abilities after the end of the world, but soon the disadvantages of serum appeared and could not be suppressed. Under the power of the serum, there will be zombification, and this alienation can also be infected through contact with blood and saliva. We did not expect this result at all. When we want to control, the shadow of the end of the world has enveloped the world, so the ability after the end of the world The latter is just a temporary stable state of zombies. "

You interrupted the old man's excited tirade without interest, "What does this have to do with me, the maker of the last days, you can't stand the torture of conscience and want me to announce the truth for you?"

The old man looked at you kindly, "The truth is not necessary in the last days, but frankness is essential if you want to win your cooperation."

"Cooperation? Cooperation for what." You yawned and recited your lines.

"I explained the apocalypse, but I didn't mention 'Calvino' too much. He escaped from our control after the apocalypse and almost destroyed the entire research institute. I escaped because I was sent to China to collect information After that, I have been quietly collecting information about Calvino,

I know you met Calvino, and you are naturally attracted to each other, close like lovers - this is because you are also a part of Calvino, yes, Lin Luo, you are not an orphan, you are a replica of the plan One, it was cultivated using the surplus material of 'Calvino', and was entrusted to the subordinate unit of the research institute. Your existence is to help the mother body obtain the perception of the outside world - because there is a creature called the imprint rule between you Instructions, everything will be shared between you, whether happiness, sorrow or pain, psychological feelings and organic feelings will flow between you.

The imprinting rule is a mechanism similar to 'pain', the purpose is to protect Calvino, you will trust each other unconsciously-because it will prevent you from killing each other and damaging the matrix, but Calvino breaks through after losing control The rules killed all the clones except you, including the founder of Longqing Base—of course he is not an ordinary person, I don’t know his purpose, because this kind of damage caused great damage, if my The information is correct, Calvino should still be in a state of semi-amnesia, and most of his strength has been weakened-this is almost irreversible damage. "

You thought about the first time you met Calvino, and agreed: "Indeed, but you haven't mentioned cooperation yet."

The old man's eyes were a little surprised, "I feel like you already knew all this."

You replied ambiguously, "Maybe."

Gustav's tone sank, and the sunken eyes gleamed under the wrinkles, "I need you to kill him."

"Kill him, Calvino?" You raised your voice and sat up straight in your seat.

"Because now you are the only one closest to him, and Calvino will follow his instinct to trust you after losing his memory. This is a great opportunity!" Gustav completely abandoned the benevolent demeanor at the beginning, revealing a schemer should Some expression, "And you don't want to be brutally murdered by him after recovery."

"Haha, what a great plan, doctor, I think you should be a politician instead of being bored in the laboratory, tell me, why did you kill Calvino? Killing him will not end the end of the world."

"Because Calvino is too strong, and he is full of hatred, no one can stop him from doing anything," Gustav smiled, "Then this cooperation..."

You stood up and straightened the piles of wrinkles on your clothes, and said briskly, "Gustave, I wasted my time listening to your nagging just to answer you: it's not Calvino who's wrong, it's you. I'm not either. The shield you can use, put away your inexplicable sense of superiority, the revenge plan will continue to advance, and your death is inevitable." You threw the USB drive out.

You walked out of the room, closed the door gently, Calvino leaned against the door, and you held the doorknob, "Don't you have anything to say?" Calvino looked at you silently, and you sighed softly, saying: " I said that I know everything, right? Damn, I really know, because I came from time travel, do you believe me?"

"Hahaha, of course I lied to you! I retraced time by crushing myself into a quantum, and then I met you again. You don't think it's unlucky." You rubbed your hair and exhaled, "I know, I I know... I know what you want to do, you will ask me how I see you-enemy or lover, but this time I won't let you ask..."

"Calvino, fight with me," you buttoned your cuffs tightly, "you should also be weakened because of me, then we will be equal to each other, come on, don't be restrained." You step back and make an offensive posture .
