Human Restart [Whistle]

Chapter 18 "Judgment" Eve

The first ray of sunshine in the morning had just sprinkled on the earth, and Liz, who had been exhausted all night, realized that the supplies she had stored at home were about to run out.The most frightening thing is that Jack started to go back and forth and developed a high fever!And difficulty breathing, cough intensified.As a result, Lise had to stay by the bedside to take care of him all night. Until dawn, Jack's condition finally stabilized.

But she didn't dare to relax, she had to go out and find a doctor or some medicine, whether it worked or not, she had to try it to know.

But the biggest problem now is, if he goes out, who will take care of Jack?

Most of the residents who lived in the same apartment had left, and the whole apartment fell into dead silence, and Lise never saw Xiao Li and Yufei again after the hurricane passed.She thought maybe they'd left the apartment long ago, out of Crispberry.

Jack on the bed made the whooping sound that a broken bellows makes when it is pulled.

Liz couldn't find any help. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and resolutely cut her long hair short, put on Jack's clothes and autumn scarf again, and tried her best to look like a man. Or like a boy.

Since the city got out of control, the safety of women has been greatly threatened, especially those women who are single, and they are the main targets of lawbreakers.

Civilization has fallen and order is out of control.

If it weren't for Jack staying by her side, otherwise, she couldn't imagine what would happen to her.Although "Tower" has taught some knowledge about fighting, fighting is not very effective in the face of cold pistols or group crimes.

After taking a deep breath, Lise took out the only pistol in the apartment and hid it in her clothes in case of emergency.But she had never fired a gun, nor had she ever played at a shooting range.It was Jack who insisted on buying the gun at the beginning, in case he would use it one day in the future?

It really comes in handy now.

When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was a pool of dry and smelly blood red!It's spilling on the door and the mat outside the door.A group of flies and mosquitoes were staying quietly on the bloodstain, plotting something. When the door opened, they were disturbed immediately, they made a "buzzing" protest sound, flapped their wings, and suddenly flew towards Lisi's direction !

This is how the same thing?Prank or revenge?

Lisi took a few steps back "thump thump" and waved her hands to disperse the group of mosquitoes and flies.But now is not the time to deal with these things carefully, Jack is in a life-threatening moment!Lisi just waved her hands a few times, thinking she had driven away the swarm of mosquitoes, then closed the door and left the house, but she didn't know that she locked several mosquitoes into the house at the same time, sharing the same room with Jack.

She rode a bicycle on the desolate streets, heading in the direction of the Macy's department store occupied by the "Union".About an hour later, she came to the gate of the mall and unexpectedly discovered that there was an extremely long queue outside Macy's.Those citizens who had been reluctant to go out, or dared not go out, appeared here with the same purpose as Liz.

Because the food stock was not enough, and many people had many red dots on their faces for unknown reasons, and their illnesses were getting worse, they had to ask the "Alliance" for help.

The current manager of the "Alliance" is a powerful male guide named Boss, but he has a very burly figure, like a giant bear, with lush weed-like beards growing on his cheeks.Just looking at his appearance, many people would mistake him for a sentinel at first glance.

The eldest Quantum Beast is a red-haired fox showing off its might.He always raises his chin and stares at others with his long and narrow fox eyes, looking proud and arrogant.But the boss is indeed a very proud person. At the same time, he looks down on ordinary people very much, thinking that they are all weak and inferior human beings.

There have been rumors in the past that the boss always used violence when interrogating ordinary criminals.And now, he is in control of the "Alliance"...

The boss, with a cigar in his mouth, arranged for a pair of twin sentries with bald eagles as quantum beasts to distribute supplies to the applicants, while he himself stood on the second floor of the department store and said in a loud voice: "The sentry guide is on the left, and the Mute is on the right." .”

In the past, there had never been a sentinel or a guide who dared to mock others as "Mute" in person.

After all, the law says, "No person shall be denied participation in, or prevented from benefiting from, or otherwise discriminated against, any federally funded program or activity on the basis of race, color, or national origin." (*1)

But it's different now, there are no laws in Crispberry City.

Following his instructions, Liz stood to the left, in a very short line.In front of her stood fifteen sentinel guides.On the right, the team belonging to ordinary people is five or six times longer than the team on the left, with about 100 people.

The "Alliance" is brazenly discriminating between sentinels and ordinary people.

Liz noticed the gaze projected by the ordinary people on the right, and immediately felt a burst of embarrassment, her cheeks were burning hotly, she subconsciously pulled the scarf around her neck a little higher, trying to cover her entire face.

After a while, the sentry at the front carried a small carton of milk and a whole bag full of food, and left happily, with words of praise for the boss and the "Alliance" in his mouth.In contrast, the ordinary people in the right team were much more desolate. They could only receive two or three bottles of milk and two bags of compressed biscuits that were not enough to fill their stomachs.

The most exaggerated thing is that the amount of food received by ordinary people is not only pitifully small, but also distributed randomly, depending on the mood of the lollipop sentry who received them.Even some people can only get three or four rotten apples.

Some ordinary people are dissatisfied with such a result, after all, the differential treatment is too obvious!So he angrily grabbed the collar of the lollipop sentry, but before his fists and anger could be vented, the next second, he was caught by ordinary sheriffs (they called themselves It’s the sheriff, but in fact, the city has never been in charge of city security since it got out of control) viciously pulled it away, pressed it to the ground and was beaten violently.

Lisi took a sneak peek at that poor ordinary man, his face was like measles, with little red envelopes lit up.Now that he was beaten again, yellow-green mucus flowed out mixed with nosebleeds, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He looked pitiful and scary.

The expressions of the people were different, some showed unbearable faces, and some had sparks of anger in their eyes, wishing to go forward and argue with the boss.

But no one dared to come forward.

Although there are not many sheriffs in the "Alliance", each of them is equipped with a pistol in his waist.They have enough bullets to deal with these unarmed ordinary citizens.

Soon it will be Liz's turn, and in front of her is a shy, neurotic-looking man.

"Next person."

The sentinel in charge of the team on the left shouted expressionlessly, his Quantum Beast bald eagle stared at a pair of huge bird eyes, rigorously and maliciously examining the new queuer, "Where is your Quantum Beast? "

The nervous man immediately fumbled for his clothes, as if he was paying in a shopping mall, but suddenly couldn't find his wallet.

"Please, please wait!" he stammered, "I, my Quantum Beast, is, a very small...animal."

"What kind of animal is it?"

"Uh, uh..." the man swallowed vigorously, "an ant."

Then, he found the ant in his pocket, just as he said, a very small one, lying motionless in the palm of his hand, like a small mole.

The bald eagle flew off the sentry's shoulder and landed on the table, carefully observing the little ant.The man was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, "It, it has been sick recently...Because, because I failed to mentally sort out, so..."

He spoke more and more smoothly, "Can I apply for a little white film? After the accident, I haven't been able to mentally sort out."

The sentinel seemed to believe it, showing a sympathetic look.Then he handed a bag full of supplies to the man, and said to the ordinary colleagues who were maintaining order: "Take this gentleman in and hand it over to the guide doctor for mental sorting."

"Wait...thank you for your kindness, but I think I have to go home right now because my child is still waiting for me at home..."

"Trust me." The sentinel grabbed the man who was about to leave in a panic, and said sincerely: "A spiritual counseling will be much better for you and your Quantum Beast. At least it's better than eating small white tablets."

The man couldn't refuse, and was carried into the shopping mall. The sentinel said, "Next."

Lisi hurried up and released the quantum beast kitten from the mental image. The bald eagle seemed to like the kitten very much, and jumped around the kitten.

"I... can I apply for some aspirin or other antipyretics, my brother has a high fever..."

"Seriously?" said the sentinel, and then generously handed him a box of aspirin, eliciting a searing look of envy. "God bless him."

"Thank you." Liz said gratefully, and took over a large bag full of supplies.Just as she turned around to leave, the door of the mall behind her opened again, and the man who claimed to be a Quantum Beast was an ant with a bruised nose and a swollen face, was thrown out of the mall like garbage with his hands empty!

"Another Mute who lied about being a Sentinel!"

When Father Luke went out to preach in the afternoon, the response was good. Apparently, last night’s plan worked. About forty or fifty citizens with red envelopes and serious illness approached him, expressing their desire to receive treatment with holy water.

"Of course." Father Luke said generously, "but the holy water can't completely pull out the evil forces that make trouble in your body. If you want to recover completely, you need to kill the devil's lackeys and witches, otherwise our lives will never be able to survive." Back to normal."

The townspeople who came to receive the holy water for treatment were dubious, and no one noticed that one of Father Luke's followers was missing.

Although there are few people who are willing to believe in Father Luke, most of them come to the door with the mentality of having nowhere to go and giving it a try.

No way, who made the "Alliance" stingy, and only distributed one antibiotic to every ordinary family.But in a family, at least two people need treatment!What can a pill of antibiotics do?

People who don't want to die but can still act come to the door one after another.

Although there were few people, Father Luke was not worried at all.He has a well-thought-out plan and firmly believes that today is a lucky day.After distributing the holy water, he led the remaining followers to a grocery store on the street.

Father Luke said: "From today onwards, we have to change our clothes and be different from ordinary people."

The grocery store was full of strange masks and clothes. After entering, it seemed to be in a silent Halloween ball that had not yet begun.

Father Luke chose a few black crow-like sharp-mouthed masks for his followers, and a set of snow-white and holy robes with pale gold patterns for himself.They changed into new clothes in the grocery store. It looked funny and ridiculous, but everyone didn't think it was funny, just felt a solemn and solemn emotion.

"Let's go." Father Luke said, they still want to bring the "holy water" to the ordinary "sheriff" in the "Alliance" in exchange for some supplies from him, but the supplies in exchange today are pitifully small.

"Father, your holy water works really well," said the Sheriff. "Look, I don't have a runny nose at all!"

"Because the Lord is protecting you, you must be grateful, child." Father Luke said, "But why are there so few things that can be exchanged today?"

"To tell the truth, our warehouse was stolen yesterday!" The "Magistrate" lowered his voice and said, "Boss is crazy, I almost found out that I smuggled supplies to trade with you..."

Father Luke understood, and took back half of the holy water given out. The "magistrate" immediately widened his eyes and couldn't help raising the volume. He begged, "Oh my God, Father, you can't do this. You know I need holy water for healing..."

A cloud of yellow-green mucus oozed from his nostrils.

"Equivalent exchange." Father Luke was indifferent, "This is the most basic principle in the transaction."

The "sheriff" showed a disappointed expression, but then, Father Luke said: "But everything is negotiable, we can make a new deal..."

In the afternoon, Xiao Li opened his eyes on the bed with a splitting headache.

Just yesterday afternoon, near the evening, Little Jane and Yu Fei boldly sneaked into the warehouse where the "Alliance" stores supplies while he was asleep!After searching extensively, they brought back a cart full of quick-frozen food, fairly fresh fruits, and beer.

At the same time, I brought back a truck.

I don't know how they managed to steal so much food without making a fuss, and then drive away in a swaggering manner.

Xiao Li didn't want to know, nor was he interested in knowing.After he woke up, they sat at the dining table, eating delicious and hot instant food, and began to plan their next departure, or should we call it an "escape"?

Xiao Jian said: "No. 15 next month, the trucks distributing supplies will arrive at the border. Maybe we can pretend to be one of them and get out. Hey Xiaoli, your hypnotism is very useful..."

When they were halfway through the plan and felt their mouths were parched, Jane suggested that they want to drink two bottles of high-end and expensive red wine that they had looted from the "Alliance" warehouse.

"This is a high-end product that is hard to drink at ordinary times!" Xiao Jian has been greedy for those two bottles of red wine for a long time.

Xiao Li and Yu Fei readily agreed, so the three of them discussed plans while drinking.But not long after, Xiao Li got drunk unknowingly!He was confused, his cheeks were flushed, he looked at Little Jane, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, Emily..."

"Who is Emily?" Jane turned her head to look at Yu Fei, and a layer of black casserole-like color appeared on the sentinel's handsome face.

"It's his old lover, an ordinary person."

He swallowed the word "Mute" abruptly.

Xiao Jian gloated and said, "So... you guys haven't had a high-level spiritual link yet? Oh my god, so you and Xiao Li are...forced?"

"I didn't force Xiao Li." Yu Fei rarely blushed. In his romantic history, Xiao Li can be said to be his "true son", but at the same time, he is also the most difficult person among the people he favors. And of course the only one.Yu Fei hugged Xiao Li angrily, and wanted to walk into the bedroom. He pursed his lips tightly like clam shells, ignoring Xiao Jian, and put on a look of "would rather die than answer questions about advanced spiritual links" appearance.

But little Jane had already got the answer through his reaction, almost bursting out laughing behind her back.She quickly grabbed Yu Fei's sleeve, and asked: "Oh my God! The 90.00% five-matching Shao Xiang has never had a high-level spiritual link! You are simply the wonders of the Shao Xiang world! I can ask, you know how long?"

"Three years." Yufei replied reluctantly.

"Three years?" Xiao Jian was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out of her sockets, her eyes slid down Yu Fei's vigorous upper body, "...could it be that you have some... er, problems?"

Yu Fei raised the corner of his mouth, showed a cold smile, and said to Xiao Jian: "I am a healthy man."

Yes, he is.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Li, who woke up from a hangover, could clearly feel Yu Fei who was sleeping soundly behind him, not only normal, but also gifted and energetic.

Xiao Li stroked his forehead helplessly, letting Yu Fei hug him in a self-defeating manner.

Whether it's a man or a sentinel, in the three years that Yufei has been with him day and night, he has almost, no, almost become the ultimate version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Xiao Li sighed, rubbed his temples, and got off the bed, hating himself for having such a good memory that he could still remember what happened last night even when he was drunk.The leopards are curling their tails around the squirrels, and they are sleeping in the corner loving each other.

He turned his head, and the light blew into the room through the gap in the curtains.The small half of Yufei's face on the bed was sunken in the soft and fluffy pillow, unable to see clearly, the other half exposed had deep lines and contours, as if carved with a knife and an axe.His eyelashes were thick and black, covering his snow-white complexion, like a butterfly kissing his eyelids.

Yu Fei's appearance is undoubtedly outstanding, handsome and beautiful, after his casual temperament fades away when he is quiet, he looks like a character in the oil portrait of a noble and gentle aristocrat, almost not like a real person.

Xiao Li watched intently, his throat slipping uncontrollably.Father's words pierced through the layers of fog in the brain, like a bright white lightning flashing through the fog in the brain.

“…we can love someone with the judgment of our heart and brain without worrying about the influence of attraction.”

If his guess is true, then the heartbeat he felt when he proactively kissed Yufei that day may not be an illusion.
