Human Restart [Whistle]

Since a large amount of supplies and a truck were stolen from the warehouse of the "Alliance" two days ago, the boss became suspicious. He drove away the two ordinary security officers who were in charge of guarding the warehouse on the day of the theft, and refused to believe them. The explanation of "I was suddenly knocked out by someone, and I don't know what happened at all".

The boss believed his nose and sense of smell, and thought that the two men had stolen the beer or other spirits from the warehouse and drank it to pieces.

Because the smell of alcohol emanating from those two people was too strong to cover up.

Now, except for a pair of twin sentinels in the "Alliance" who can gain a little trust from the boss, the other ordinary subordinates in his eyes are double-faced liars and fools.

Although the boss doesn't say anything, his actions have proved his inner thoughts.Now during the day, the "Alliance" warehouse is guarded by ordinary sheriffs in turn, and at night, it becomes the boss and twin sentinels to guard together.

As Father Luke commented on them, "They are like the miser Grandet in Balzac's novels, clinging to the supplies in the big shopping malls, turning a blind eye to the pain of the surviving citizens."

In fact, the boss did nothing on purpose.

For one thing, his selfishness was at work, and he didn't think of himself as a saint or some kind of savior.The second is that he can't control the runaway of the whole city at all.Everyone is afraid, and he is no exception.If you want to survive, you have to show some ruthlessness.

Long before the super flu broke out in the city, the old poop smelled danger.Because his colleagues, those involved in urban rescue and construction, when cleaning up dead fish and rotten shrimps on the beach, and when cleaning up collapsed ruins where dead bodies were buried, they suffered from debilitating diseases due to mosquito bites. A deadly super flu.

Their initial symptoms were nothing more than a small, normal "cold symptom."But at night, when the condition is more serious, an emergency attack immediately occurs, and the nose and mouth are filled with mucus, which leads to suffocation and death.Then on the second day and the third day, the number of deaths in Crispy Berry City doubled, and the death rate soared, reaching a terrifying figure...

Disasters are looming, but why aren't citizens aware of the danger?

We can use a small French puzzle to answer: "Suppose, there is a water lily in the pond. It grows a leaf on the first day, and its number of leaves will double every day. The sky is completely covered with leaves, so when will half of the pond be covered with leaves?" (*30)

"The answer is, day 29. For the first 29 days, we might feel that everything is normal and we still have a lot of time. Then in one day, everything is turned upside down. This is a metaphor for our world." (*2)

And now, Berry Crisp is a pond, and the people with the super flu are the water lilies in the pond.They are inescapable, trapped in a pond, and have to fight for food in order to survive.

Boss clearly understands that he cannot control the loss of control of the city and the atrocities that are everywhere.Of course, he didn't want to control it either.Killing more unnecessary people, such as the sick, old, disabled, and worthless, can reduce food waste.Let more high-quality, healthy and hopeful people live.

So he established the "Alliance" by himself, gathering most of the surviving sentinel guides in the city and some young ordinary people who are strong and willing to serve them.

Under the management of the boss, the "Alliance" protects those citizens he considers "valuable", while watching the death of "worthless" citizens with a cold eye.After all, no one knows how long they will be trapped in Crispy Berry City, and how long the supplies will last.

It is impossible for the "Alliance" to "feed" the survivors in the city, so...

The boss was startled awake by the incessant ringing of "Dididi". He opened his eyes, the warehouse door was locked, and the twin sentinel brothers were dozing against the iron gate.Everything is the same as usual.

He wiped his face and picked up his cell phone. It was his wife's call.

The boss answered the phone with a hoarse voice: "Hello?"

The wife's fear passed through the electric current, she sobbed, she trembled, her teeth "clacked" and fought up and down: "My dear... Natasha, Natasha is gone!"

Crispberry City, inside the apartment.

Xiao Li and Yu Fei decided to take turns to watch the night, and Xiao Jane slept.But it turned out that Yufei stayed on the sofa all night alone, and when it was time to take turns, he insisted on not waking Xiaoli up.Instead, he hugged him in his arms, like hugging a big bear doll, and hugged him all night.

As a result, Yufei woke up the next morning with sore arms and thighs, and Xiao Li's neck was uncomfortable.

"What did you put in my water glass last night?!" After waking up, Xiao Li rubbed his neck, feeling miserable. He slept well last night, sleeping in an awkward position all night without waking up.

Although Yufei's limbs were sore, but her heart was sweet and bubbling, "It's just something to help you sleep, I hope you can sleep better."

"If you are really thinking about me, please put me on the bed and let me sleep." Xiao Li sighed, resisting the urge to attack Yufei with his mental tentacles, got up and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, "There was something wrong last night." What's the matter?"

"Not yet." Yufei said, "everything is normal... At least last night, it was normal with us."

With a toothbrush in his mouth, Xiao Li let out an inarticulate "huh" with his mouth full of foam.Yu Fei was beside him, squeezing toothpaste, and giggling while staring at Xiao Li who was brushing his teeth seriously in the mirror.

"What are you laughing at?"

"We are just like lovers!" Yu Fei said proudly, the leopard jumped out of the mental scene, full of energy, and after shaking its smooth fur, it began to act like a baby around Xiao Li's calf, making "meow", "Miwu" to the shameful cry.

A pair of leopard eyes also specially wear super color contact lenses, just like the [-]th moon, round and bright.

Xiao Li rolled his eyes at Yu Fei in the mirror, "I haven't promised to be with you yet. Besides, now is not the time to think about it."

He didn't have a clear rejection (even if it was a clear rejection, Yufei would pretend that he didn't hear it and didn't know what you were talking about), but this "ambiguous" attitude successfully raised Yufei's confidence by another point, and he even I started to fantasize about which church I and Xiao Li should get married in after the end of "Doomsday".It would be even better if at that time, a respected and loved guide or sentinel could be invited as a priest to preside over the wedding for them.

After Xiao Li finished washing, he was worn out by the leopard at his feet, so he had no choice but to surrender, and lifted the sleeping mouse out of the mental image and placed it on the leopard's head.

He muttered, "I really don't know why you two have such a good relationship."

Obviously there is no special emotion or relationship between himself and Yufei.

The leopard ran away with the hamster, and the Dauri jackdaw "quack" came out of the guest room with a strange cry, trying to mingle with them persistently.

At this time, Xiao Li would be very envious of Quantum Beast.I envy them for their carefree, simple-minded nature, and they can be happy every day.Don't worry about salary, school grades, rising oil, people you like don't like you, that sort of thing.

Don't even worry about being dragged away as a "witch" or "slave of the devil" for an inhuman "trial" one day.

"I want to warn others." Xiao Li said suddenly, "I'm not sure how many people watched the live broadcast last night, maybe we should tell the boss to listen and let him gather the surviving sentinel guides in Crispberry City..."

He didn't want to cause "internal fighting".Also don't want to cause deaths of sentinel guides or normal people.But now, it is the most critical moment for Crispy Berry City, when unity is most needed, he has to stand up, someone has to stand up.

"That priest...Father Luke, his speech feels very strange." Xiao Li said while recalling that Father Luke was very strange, obviously his speech was not skillful at all, and his words and sentences were not subtle. .But after coming out of the mouth, it can give people an indescribable... sense of reliability.

This enables others to accept his words and ideas quickly and without pressure in a short period of time.

Xiao Li had no interaction with the priest before, and he hadn't even been able to catch up with a sentence. He didn't find anything wrong with Father Luke at all.

But through the series of events that happened yesterday...

Yu Fei agreed: "He feels very evil and cunning to me. His speech on the TV station last night has a sense of delusion, which can arouse the negative emotions in our hearts that have been suppressed for a long time."

That's right.What they don't know yet is that those who trust and admire Father Luke the most are just ordinary people with the most ordinary personalities and life experiences in their daily lives.

Before the "doomsday" comes, they abide by the laws and regulations, work diligently, and play roles such as "good husbands", "good wives" or "good parents" and "good employees" in a civilized society.They used to be limited by too many labels and rules in civilized society.

But all of a sudden, those restrictions are gone...

As a result, they became confused, panicked, and at a loss, just like the elephants in the circus who were chained from childhood to adulthood, and the idea of ​​not being able to break free from the chain was deeply rooted in their minds.Until one day, a fire broke out in the circus, and the elephants were overwhelmed and stayed where they were, waiting for the flames to consume them.

Immediately afterwards, Father Luke appeared and told them that the "chain" had been destroyed, and they could do whatever they wanted but dared not, or obey their orders.

"The need for security is a powerful determinant of human behavior." (*3)

Under the influence of the environment, the escaped "elephants" regarded Father Luke as a savior and a god.Then, they began to mobilize their forces, helping Father Luke and inciting more "elephants" to join them.

"The desire to be accepted by a social group is more powerful than the allure of the mysterious golden ring in The Lord of the Rings. This desire to be accepted will make some people willing to do almost anything. Just to be accepted, and for Avoid being rejected by the group, and even engage in more extreme behavior." (*4)

"We have to tell other people to listen." Xiao Li said to Yufei very seriously: "We once watched a strange lady being shot downstairs downstairs, and watched Liz be tortured to death by them... If When we heard the call for help from the very beginning, our first reaction was to help them instead of being indifferent. Maybe now or in the future, the occurrence of bad things will be greatly reduced."

The most critical and least known contributing factor to evil is not the people who blatantly advocate violence and harm, but the silent majority behind them, the people who see everything happening but turn a blind eye and hear nothing. (*5)

"Honey, you're a smart person, but sometimes you look stupid and cute to me." Yufei shrugged his shoulders, "Generally in this situation, protecting yourself is the most important thing, while others... ..." Before he finished the second half of his sentence, he was interrupted by Xiao Li's indifferent and angry gaze, Yu Fei shut his mouth embarrassingly, and looked at Xiao Li for a while. After seeing firmness in his eyes, he could only sigh and compromise, "I've never been a 'nosy' person, but you're right, baby... alright."

He took Xiao Li's arm, wanting to pull him into his arms and kiss him, but he heard Xiao Li say: "...I decided to go back to the capital."

"Wh... no! Haven't we already discussed this issue?"

Xiao Li shook his head, and said: "No, but in my impression, I have never answered 'this' question directly."

Hearing this, Yu Fei almost jumped up from the spot, his eyes widened, before he had time to say anything.Suddenly a burst of dizziness hit him, and Xiao Li's black pupils lit up with a galaxy-like light, and then the starlight was crushed, scattered, and spun.

"The 'evolution plan' evolved us." Xiao Li reached out to touch Yufei's face, fixed his head, and looked directly at him for hypnosis, "Even if the injection is injected into our body, I can't hide it. "

"This is a very great invention, Yufei... As a scientist, I can't bury this invention in the dust..."

"No!" While erecting a mental barrier to defend against Xiao Li's hypnosis, Yufei grasped the man's waist and brought it into his arms: "No! You can't, we can discuss..."

Xiao Li gritted his teeth, he shook his head slightly, his black pupils diffused silver light and thin lines, and the hypnotic suggestion deepened, "This is not negotiable, because you will only lock me up."

"Xiao Li!" Yufei was about to die of anger, a huge storm was brewing in the light gray eyes!There was lightning and thunder in his eyes, and it was about to spew out, "Be obedient!"

While Yu Fei wanted to continue to strengthen the mental barrier, Xiao Li suddenly raised his head and kissed him, the two lips were pressed together, the guide bit the bullet and used his barely sloppy kissing skills to lure him with a high degree of matching. The Sentinels slack.

Well!

Shore succeeded.A slack in Yufei directly caused a sudden pain in his brain, a long and thin silver needle transformed from Xiao Li's spiritual tentacles appeared out of thin air and pierced into his brain.There was a blank in his mind.

They stayed close to each other for a long time, and when they parted, their breaths were unstable.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Li backed away from Yu Fei.Attacking Yufei with mental tentacles was more difficult and strenuous than he imagined.After he succeeded, his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't look in better condition than Yufei, "I have to do this."

Yufei opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.His legs went limp, and he fell on Xiao Li's body, his eyelids were fighting uncontrollably, and his brain throbbed with pain.

Just now, Xiao Li took the opportunity to attack him with his mental tentacles during their mid-level spiritual link.

"No..." The fury in Yu Fei's gray eyes was instantly covered by moonlight-like tears and pleading, "Please...don't...we can do together...do what you want, Don't……"

Xiao Li struggled to put her back on the big bed in the master bedroom, and then said: "I think Xiao Jane is a good girl, and she is more suitable for you than me."

Yufei grabbed his shirt in vain, his limp fingers slid down inch by inch.

"Goodbye, Yuphy Knowles."

Xiao Li snapped his fingers, just like a light switch, and the light went out with a crisp "click".Yufei's eyelids dropped, sleepiness and weariness were like black withered hands, pulling him and sinking continuously.

Xiao Li opened the door and walked out of the master bedroom, and the Quantum Beast and Rat immediately rushed to his side like small cannonballs. Xiao Li knocked on the guest bedroom beside him, "Little Jane, take care of them for me."

In the living room, the last line of defense Yufei set up, Quantum Beast Leopard, could no longer sustain it. The master's mental image was attacked, and the impact had spread to him, and Leopard let out a roar from its throat unwillingly. , Immediately afterwards, his limbs twitched and he fell limply to the ground.

Little Jane walked out of the guest room with hair like a chicken coop, and she begged with a look of lovelessness: "Can you...knock me out or tie me up? I'm afraid that Knowles will tear me apart when he wakes up." .”

"No." Xiao Li refused cruelly, "In this case, no one will be able to protect Yufei."

Capital, in Denisa's villa

A lot has happened in the capital these days.

The first is Denisa's inability to produce an effective and reliable "evolution plan", whether it is "AE" or "BE".Disappointed with her, her superiors removed her from the research base, and then assigned her to the CDC to cooperate in the research on the serum used to cure the "super flu".

What they were most worried about happened. The super flu broke out across the country, and several cities were thrown into chaos one after another.To quell this chaos, the most urgent task is to produce serum.

Denisa has nothing to do, the information sent back by the "Prophet" has omissions, and several formulas are still wrong.She found the problem, but didn't know how to fix it.

Her teacher is a genius that she cannot surpass. If he was still there, the "Evolution Project" might have been completed a few years earlier... But it's a pity...

Denisa took a deep breath. She didn't care who took the position of the chief researcher at all, as long as she could create a "BE" plan that strengthened the change whistle to get rid of the curse of 50-year-old death, and rescued Jones, that was her biggest goal. and wishes.

Because now, Jones Young's mental image has been completely swallowed by the black hole of the soul, but there is good news that she still responds to the name "Xiao Li".

In desperation, Denisa found a glimmer of hope, and at the same time, news came from the investigation team telling her that Xiao Li's body had not been found in the ruins of the maritime research base...

If she can't get Shore back, then Jones...

No, no, no, Jones must not die!

Not only Denisa has this idea, but also the politicians who make various major decisions in the presidential palace think so too.Because Jones' death will bring unpredictable losses to the government, because of the high-level spiritual link between Jones and the "prophet"!

If Jones dies and the connection is interrupted, it will cause irreversible and unstoppable "damage" to the "Prophet"!Furthermore, Jones is the trump card they use to pinpoint the "prophet", a trump card that cannot be easily dismissed.

At the same time, this is also Denisa's hole card when playing games with politicians.
