It was the first deceased that Rong Yuan asked Noah to investigate. When he was still researching Baiselin, Noah had already got the results, and found that he was just a homeless tramp in L City.The reason why you will be infected with the virus is most likely because you touched something you shouldn't touch while rummaging through the trash can.To find out the origin of the virus, you first need to find out the scope of his usual activities, and then investigate nearby buildings, event personnel, etc.

After the outbreak of UCOC disease, City L almost turned into an empty city, nearly one-third of the population died, and the rest fled the city one after another.If it weren't for the fact that there are still a very small number of people who are reluctant to leave, City L may have been completely blocked by the Juniper Kingdom.Now that the problem of UCOC disease has been solved, some people who are nostalgic for their homeland or unwilling to give up their belongings have returned here one after another. Although there are still very few people, under the operation of the government, some basic urban construction and management have been restored, such as Traffic lights, garbage collection, hospitals, sheriff's and population management departments, and more.

But in the city, even at the height of the virus, there was one place that was constantly working through the night.

crematorium.

There were so many dead that many corpses had to be sent to crematoriums in other places to be cremated.Many families are even dead, without even a relative or friend who can see them off.All I could see were the employees in blue uniforms, so wrapped up that they couldn't even see their eyes, pushing the corpses lined up one by one into the incinerator like garbage, and then randomly collecting the silvery white ash and smashing it into the jar. Tag it and go push the next corpse.

People all over the world have just walked out of the horror of death, and the grief is slowly awakening in their hearts. There are scenes of mourning with flowers and candles everywhere.Only this city doesn't even have room for grief.

Lost too much, all senses seem to have been completely paralyzed.

Those returning, wearing sunglasses and masks, wearing long scarves or wide-brimmed hats, hurried off the train or plane, turning a blind eye to the desolate scene, with their heads bowed , went straight home with a numb face or went to the company to collect the necessary things, and then left in a hurry, as if it was an insignificant passerby.

Apart from these people, the most common ones are volunteers of some international aid organizations and employees dispatched by government departments, and the other are "gold diggers" who are brave enough to risk their lives and come here with the mentality of making a fortune.

There are almost no taxis in L city now, and only a few buses go back and forth alone.However, there are abandoned vehicles everywhere on the road, and some keys are still inserted in them.People in need will just find a car that can still move and drive away. The roar of the engine and the exhaust of the car have brought a little vitality to the city.

Although many people worked day and night, several dead bodies could still be seen suddenly on the side of the road, and the painful struggle before death was still clearly visible, tragic and terrifying.The atmosphere in this city is so oppressive that it is almost impossible to breathe. People walking in it are in a hurry, no loud voices can be heard, and no one pays attention to who is passing by.

Rong Yuan was wearing black casual clothes, with a wide hood covering his face, and a mask, with his hands in his pockets, walking through the street like a black ghost until he stopped at an archway Red brick apartment front.He looked up at this old building with a history of at least 100 years, easily opened the locked door, and as expected, he found a rotting corpse on the sofa in the living room, with protruding eyes and black face. The abdomen was distended, surrounded by flies and insects, and exuded an unbearable stench.

Rong Yuan held his nose and took a step back, closed the door with a "slap", walked outside the apartment, took two deep breaths of fresh air, and said, "Pea."

"The facial scan has been completed, the physical characteristics have been recorded, and the data has been uploaded to Noah." Pea said, and after less than ten seconds, he added: "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed."

After the infrastructure was restored in City L, its population database and monitoring equipment began to operate normally, so that Noah, who had been at a stalemate in the investigation work, successfully identified the people who might be related to the infection of the homeless. Only through screening can the clues be connected with the dead in the house.Needless to say, there are various tedious tasks involved, Rong Yuan has to find out the source of this disaster no matter what.

The deceased died earlier than the cleaner, but his body was not discovered earlier.His identity is also very simple, he is a cleaner of a building under the name of a leather bag company.

The distance is not far, Rong Yuan chooses to walk there, he also needs time to sort out his thoughts.

The consequences of the Bosefly invasion are very serious. The global economic development has been set back for at least 20 years, and it will take a long time for the earth to fully digest it.

There are also the dead who have not yet completed the statistics.

Some people's death makes you think it's just a number, and some people's death makes people on the other side of the world feel sad and regretful. Many people who have made outstanding contributions and occupy a pivotal position are now stuffed into the incinerator like garbage , The changes in the political structure and the chain effects in various aspects brought about by this, I don't know how long it will take to calm down.

Regarding the cause of this illness, Rong Yuan gave an answer, but not everyone believed his answer.Some people conducted their own research, and some conspiracy theorists questioned whether the 907 Research Institute's actions in this matter were really that pure.

For many people, the reason to believe him is simple - because he is Rong Yuan.

He is a genius, he is a child of miracles.He had created many great inventions across the ages, but none of them were weapons aimed at causing lethality.He did many, many things, each time protecting and helping others, never hurting anyone.

——In the eyes of ordinary people who have never been in contact with Rong Yuan, this is the Rong Yuan they know.

They may not trust the family members around them, their friends and colleagues, or the leaders of their own country, but they will definitely trust Rong Yuan, who has never been masked.

Trusting that he would care for them, help them, guide them as long as he needed to... If he didn't, it must be because he was too busy.

In fact, many people suspect that the founder of Skynet, which has spread to 90.00% of the world, has the most recognition and influence, is Rong Yuan.There is a simple and straightforward but irrefutable reason for this suspicion, that is——

Who else but him?

Some people listed one, two, three, four reasons to prove this point on the Internet, some people publicly thanked Rong Yuan on the message board of Skynet, and some people analyzed and gave examples at length, but people around Rong Yuan never dared to ask him face to face.As for Rong Yuan himself, he didn't respond in any way, just pretending that he didn't know about it.

Now this kind of speculation can no longer pose a threat to him.But this identity, which he used to manage as a talisman, seems to be open or not, and it doesn't make much sense.

Rong Yuan has been deified enough, through that halo, not many people can see the real him.A large part of Skynet's honor comes from the efforts of those white pieces, and carrying all these on his back will only make him more equal to a great symbol.

Moreover, when those outraged people attacked those who doubted him with the greatest anger and stood by him without hesitation, Rong Yuan kept suspecting that maybe this matter really had something to do with him.

"Pea, after [Ark] is completed, let's leave the earth." Rong Yuan said suddenly.

Pea didn't speak, but Rong Yuan knew that it was always by his side.When you look down, you can see its face in the breast pocket.

"I've been thinking about this issue recently." He looked at the group of people who were busy collecting corpses in the distance, and said softly: "Xiao Xiao said that the "Book of Merit and Virtue" will make the 'evil' in the world gather around me, and make me Bad luck for people around you. I used to think that if I had less contact with other people and was in a relatively safe and closed environment, I would reduce the impact."

"When I was in the research institute, there were no accidents." Pea said.

"Yes. But..." Rong Yuan lowered his head slightly, and said, "The longer this peaceful day lasts, the more violent the next accident will be."

He once spent nearly a year researching marshmallows in the warehouse laboratory he built, and then foreign forces plunged the entire city A into chaos. Rong Yuan never knew how many people died because of it; the research institute formed The solid fortress basically cut off his contact with the outside world, and then he fled to the death on Bichu star, and Paco also died; after returning to the earth, he spent six years on the [Ark] project, and then all living things on the earth A catastrophe of near extinction.

Intellectually, Rong Yuan knew that he was not the one who caused those casualties. If anyone had to be responsible for those things, it should be the evil executioner and the instigator behind the scenes.It would be foolish to take the responsibility on yourself.But at the same time, Rong Yuan also knew that before he got the "Book of Merit and Deeds" and accumulated a lot of merit, the earth he knew did not have these dangers.It is impossible to say that these have nothing to do with him.

He sees every trick, and saves the crisis time and time again, but what if one day he can't handle it anymore?

Rong Yuan analyzed them one by one, and then said: "So... keeping a distance may be the best way."

Pea was silent for a long time.Although it looks more affectionate than Noah, in fact, the essence of the two is the same. As long as Rong Yuan needs it, they can give up everything immediately.Therefore, Pea has no opinion on whether Rongyuan should leave or stay, but...

"Rong Yuan, if you leave... are you okay?" Pea is only worried about Rong Yuan, afraid that longing and reluctance will eat into his heart, and endless wandering will destroy his faith.

Rong Yuan smiled slightly and said, "In this respect, you should really learn from Zhou Yuan." Seeing Wan Dou's puzzled expression, he added, "Be more confident in me." Looking into the distance, Rong Yuan said : "I have envisioned all the possibilities. No matter what the future path looks like, I am aware of it, so I will never be overwhelmed. Moreover, even if I leave and come back after a while, I probably won't It has too much influence, and it is no different from staying in the research institute with me now."

In the past six years, except for Jin Yang's wedding and when he left the institute twice when his child was full moon, he even ignored the chairman's invitation.Leaving the earth, taking the bad luck away, coming back regularly to see the people you want to see, and not needing to pay any attention to entertainment-this kind of thinking seems pretty good?

"Well, it's up to you to decide." Pea paused and asked, "Do you want to take Noah?" Before saying this, it cut off the communication with Noah on purpose.Although Noah did not have the means to break through the fragile blockade of the optical brain, he just didn't dare, and jumped on the other side angrily.

"Perhaps..." Rong Yuan just said two words, then suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at a person who just passed by him.

"What's wrong?" Pea asked.

"It feels a little familiar." Rong Yuan frowned.When that person walked over just now, he actually heard a voice that he had only heard from Wu Xi.

"Who is that person?"
