Chapter 14: Talking on the Rooftop

The light beams of the tower lights shot towards the boundless sky, and the strong lights completely covered up one or two poor stars in the sky.The clouds covered the moon, as if the light source of the whole world was left here.

At this moment, at this moment.

The night wind was blowing, no one was around, the environment was bright and quiet, which was a good atmosphere for chatting.

When Luo Xingyi talked about chatting, it was definitely not because he was drunk on a whim.He still knows too little about the current world, it can be said that he knows nothing.It is easy to find information on the Internet, and the tinkering historical materials have dutifully recorded major events, but they will never be able to tell Luo Xingyi what the real world is like and where he is.

This kind of information occlusion that cannot be precisely located will inevitably make people a little anxious.

What's more, he now knows that the group of mercenaries who dug his own grave are probably related to the Central Military Region. It is too exciting to confront the authorities as soon as he wakes up.

Qu Lin didn't object, because Luo Xingyi's identity was too special. He actually had a lot of questions to ask, but he wasn't sure if the other party was willing to disclose them.After all, most of the materials related to the "Moon Palace" would rather be destroyed than passed on to future generations.So he asked first: "What are you talking about?"

Luo Xingyi leaned against the low wall, propped his chin with one hand, and looked at him with his head propped up, "Play stupid?"

"How about we shake hands and continue to be friends?" Luo Xingyi rested his chin on one hand and played with the unthrown syringe with the other. "Although it is impossible to be open and honest. But I think some information can still be exchanged." Bar?"

"In exchange for information, as long as it does not involve undisclosed secrets, we will try our best to exchange them with each other as frankly as possible. You see, no one will suffer... But, since you are far ahead of me because of the time advantage, I Wanted to ask you some other questions first, not counting in the exchange of information."

"That depends on what question you're asking." Qu Lin didn't mind his careful thinking, anyway, the two of them had no conflict of interest, and they might be allies in the future, so it's okay to let Luo Xingyi get more information.

His eyes fell on the syringe again, but he looked away after a short glance, and Qu Lin said, "You can ask."

In fact, if you want to say that Luo Xingyi is taking advantage, it really doesn't count. It can only be said that he is well versed in the Chinese "art of conversation"-you can't rush straight to the topic as soon as you come up, at least you have to talk about some innocuous things first. Linger on the topic for a while, and then calmly lead the topic to the main topic, so that it looks like a chat rather than an interrogation.

So Luo Xingyi thought about it, and chose the most conservative entry point: "I, for some reason, have been isolated from the world for many years, and now I am a native of Lanke in the countryside... To be honest, seeing the state of Elysium City I was very surprised. According to the information I read, this area belongs to the 'no matter' zone outside the border, so, can you tell me what it looks like inside the border?"

If it is really this kind of ruined ruins, it is really no different from the doomsday more than 20 years ago.

Qu Lin didn't know that Luo Xingyi had spent these twenty years in a deep sleep, so he took it for granted that what he asked was not about geography, but about the situation. Outer radiation, divided into three classes. The standard of living is inversely proportional to the size of the radius, and the military control force, of course. The east and part of the north have basically been unified by the Central Military Region, and are currently advancing south, with the largest Xinzhe base in Nanyingtu Negotiations, it seems that it is also going to merge peacefully."

"What will happen if it is merged?"

Qu Lindao: "It's not good, the unification of the second level is completed. There are not many bases left for the third level, and even fewer can be named. After breaking down one by one, there will be no strength to fight against the central military. .”

"The general trend of the world, the long-term must be united." Luo Xingyi nodded, he didn't think it was strange, history has never deviated from the law, but he still couldn't help asking: "And then?"

Then there are too many aspects that can be answered.In such a large range, no matter what you say, it is reasonable.

However, Qu Lin looked at the night and the ruins outside and fell silent, without answering immediately.There was no joy or sorrow on his face, and he was full of guard, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, and his tone was flat, as if he gave a follow-up perfunctory: "Implement the New Deal."

Luo Xingyi didn't expect the other party to answer in such detail, he couldn't answer for a while, and was a little stiff.

He intuited that Qu Lin must know what to say, this sentence is not simple.Qu Lin didn't seem like a person who would talk nonsense, but he obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, at least, he didn't want to talk to him.Fortunately, he didn't really want to know.

So the understanding Luo Xingyi reopened the topic: "I have wanted to know a question for a long time. Your entire Eastern Military Region is a country, so... the Central Military Region you mentioned is an administrative concept? Or is it a geographical concept? Woolen cloth?"

This kind of common-sense question, even if you go to the street to ask any child with cognitive ability, he can answer it. It really shouldn't be a question that Luo Xingyi, who looks like a person in his early twenties, would ask.It made Qu Lin start to wonder if there was some deviation in the definition of the word "isolated" between the two of them.

"Neither of them." Qu Lin answered patiently, "It's just a customary gender name inherited, mainly referring to the military headquarters in the capital."

Qu Lin's words sounded right at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, the amount of information is quite large. What does "the military headquarters of the capital" mean?According to this division method, the Central Military Region = the Capital Military Headquarters, is there such a title as the Central Administrative Region = Capital Government?

Extending like this, it is estimated that it may not be able to get to the point when it comes to dawn.Luo Xingyi put aside this kind of question that could be called Wang Shucha, and picked up the important question first: "There is another question that is more curious, about Pei Yongqi. You said he is type III, and I can learn about type II for free." And the status quo of Type III?"

Qu Lin glanced at him, seemed to be pleased by his word "free", and his expression softened, and said: "Yes. The development of Type III is based on the improvement of the data model of Type II. Because Type II is too pursuing power, The backlash was so severe that no one survived ten years. So Type III adjusted the balance and gave up the ultimate pursuit of power, so as to reduce the chance of being backlashed.”

"But recently, I heard that the situation of the chief of Type III has deteriorated, so they can't sit still, and turned to your idea."

"Chief?" Luo Xingyi thinks that this word doesn't seem to mean equal.

Qu Lin nodded: "Yes, Type III experiments have different directions, and their abilities are also divided into high and low levels, forming a hierarchical order among the 12 people. The Pei Yongqi you saw is the tail of a crane."

No wonder it was so easy to solve, Luo Xingyi sighed inwardly.But he was not taken away by Qu Lin, but caught a hidden point in the words, "Hey... You said that no one lived for ten years, but I counted the time, your' Wasn't the "Evolution Type II" project 12 years ago?"

He looked like a kid who caught some wonderful little butterfly, smiling at Qu Lin, with words all over his face, "Then what's the matter with you? Don't you need to talk about mathematics when you make up lies?"

Seeing the teasing false smile on Luo Xingyi's face, Qu Lin admired him for discovering the point keenly, with a slight smile in his eyes, he raised his index finger, "This is a problem."

"You..." Luo Xingyi was amused by his shrewdness, and waved his hand, "All right, all right, you say."

The smile in Qu Lin's eyes was fleeting. He didn't look at the sky or the ground. He was very polite and looked at the other party when he was talking.His eyes didn't hide or flicker, and his voice was very steady, giving Luo Xingyi the illusion that what he said seemed to be no big deal.

But that's not the case.

Because what Qu Lin said was: "There are a total of 20 Type II experimental subjects. Unfortunately, I am the 21st one—there are only 5 people in the world who know this secret, including you. Back then" Five years after the Human Revival Project was launched, the Institute selected 20 newborn five-year-old children for experiments. I participated in the experiment when I was 10 years old."

"But in fact, before that, I was already accepting various experimental simulations. It may be related to this, or it may have something to do with the pathogens that were originally accepted. This is another matter. In short, I have not been backlashed yet, but maybe That day is not far away."

The tower is too high, and the wind can't bring the laughter from below.

Qu Lin didn't mention a word of death, but the 20 people who died first showed the ending without exception.

Luo Xingyi doesn't know what kind of tough mentality a person needs to calmly accept and speak out about the bad luck that may befall him at any time.He just lost his mind very inappropriately, and was hit by a sentence:

"Because people have firm beliefs, there is a special quiet atmosphere."

Seeing that Luo Xingyi was obviously distracted, Qu Lin reminded him to calm down: "It's time for me to ask?"

He is different from Luo Xingyi, he doesn't pay much attention to the art of conversation, and he asks him the important points that he has cared about for a long time: "Why have you been isolated from the world for so long?"

"Something went wrong." Qu Lin made him the fifth person to know the secret so sincerely, and Luo Xingyi didn't feel that he had anything to hide. "Now that technology continues to develop, II, III When none of them were successful, who gave false information that our "Leap Project" was successful? Nothing. There were also many volunteers at that time—although you call them experimental subjects, we are all called volunteers Or, after all, our 'Moon Palace' is a formal national experimental institution—it must have suffered a backlash, something went wrong."

"Let me mention that we participated in this national experiment, and we are also included in the establishment of a special military branch, so even if I don't know the reason, I have to obey the orders of my superiors."

Luo Xingyi was blown by the wind, the stamina of the wine was getting stronger and stronger, and his mind was slightly dizzy.He recalled the previous events, switched each screen back and forth in front of his eyes, and couldn't help but say a little more off-topic: "I don't know what happened, my superior is the person in charge of the experimental project, and my father and I are very close." A brother who can wear a pair of pants. You said he chose me for hibernation, is it really out of partiality? I don’t know either.”

"At that time, the 'Moon Palace' was under martial law, and meetings were held non-stop. After I came back from a mission, I was forcibly taken to sleep. Xu Yan told me that this was the 'Storm Fire Movement' they discussed and decided. An important piece of information will be handed over to the laboratory three years later. I don’t know what it is. At that time, what I thought was, anyway, it’s only three years.

"You just woke up now." Qu Lin said with certainty.

"Yes," Luo Xingyi covered his face and laughed, "It's unbelievable. I just hibernated and slept for a while, and then 24 years later, I was inexplicably targeted and became a piece of fat."

Now Qu Lin finally understands why this Type I looks so young and doesn't know anything about the Central Military Region.He couldn't help asking: "What happened to the 'Moon Palace' back then? Why were all the research materials on the evolutionaries destroyed?"

"I also really want to know this question. Someone told me that because the 'Moon Palace' was infected, everyone had to evacuate the 'Moon Palace', hahahahahahahahaha..." Luo Xingyi suddenly laughed, the alcohol stimulation made his mood fluctuate A little unstable, he also took out the words that had been suppressed in his heart and muttered to himself.

"Why didn't the evacuation take me away?"

Although he didn't say it on the surface, he was really brooding about this issue.

Why don't you take me?Why leave me?

Why do you want to forget me alone in time and open your eyes to face the world with nothing left?Where have all the relatives and friends gone, even Qinglan City is completely changed, and there is no trace of familiarity...?

Probably because he also felt that he had lost his composure, Luo Xingyi wiped his face to calm down his emotions, "How could the 'Moon Palace' be infected..." He stopped talking, and suddenly asked Qu Lin: "How much do you know about the 'Moon Palace'?"

Qu Lin sensed his hesitation, thought it was inconvenient to tell, so he skipped the table and said directly: "You don't need to answer the secret, you said it."

Luo Xingyi smiled, "After so many years, the 'Moon Palace' has fallen apart, there is nothing to say."

Luo Xingyi took a deep breath. Although it's not his style to speak lightly, he wanted to confide, and now that the atmosphere is just right, he couldn't stop: "This outbreak is on a global scale, causing social civilization to fail. The culprit, 'Sunset', was originally leaked from the 'Moon Palace'. It's not that the 'Moon Palace' is at fault, but the 'Moon Palace' is also responsible."

"Why do the eyes of our group of volunteers all mutate like this, so similar to zombies? Because the 'sunset' virus and the experimental samples we received are homologous isomers. So what about the 'Moon Palace'? Could it be infected by the 'sunset' it produces? The mutated 'sunset' virus will only spread outward to harm others."

Back then, Qinglan City was the closest to the "Moon Palace", so when the zombie virus broke out, it also bore the brunt of the disaster.Looking at the devastated city, Luo Xingyi couldn't help but crush the syringe in his hand, "So if you say something emotionally, I think this is punishment. The 'Moon Palace' is, and so is human society. But I have seen that doing so will have consequences. If there are any serious consequences, we have to put forward the plan before doing it, the scientific research institute of the Central Military Region, it can be seen that it is not a good thing."

Qu Lin watched Luo Xingyi start playing with the syringe again, and finally couldn't help it, and said aloud, "Stay away from that thing."

Luo Xingyi was a little surprised, he reacted, raised the syringe, and asked with a smile: "So you are concerned about me, afraid that I will take drugs? Don't worry, although those people who have taken drugs seem very happy, I don't have this hobby .”

"It was given by others at the banquet, and I forgot to throw it away without seeing the trash can." Luo Xingyi explained.When mentioning the banquet, I can't help but think of what I saw before, and my stomach feels a little sick.

So he supported it with one hand, flipped out of the parapet lightly, climbed the thorns and vines that grew around the wall, and stood on the thorns in the air to blow the wind.

"Before, I kept thinking that this place was named 'Elysium City', and it was because of the hardships of life that I pinned this hope... But now I understand."

The high-altitude gust of wind howled past, blowing Luo Xingyi's soft black hair, and the gemstones on the ribbon reflected the grotesque city lights.He took a few more steps forward, and stopped at the end of the width of a palm, his clothes fluttering, as if he wanted to take advantage of the wind to spread his wings and fly away, becoming a fairy.

Standing at the highest point of "Light of Technology", at the tip of thorns, Luo Xingyi can see a picture of ruins winding away.

The wide angle that is too wide allows him to have a panoramic view of the city that is mixed with the past and the present. Then he raises his arm and holds up the syringe in his hand like a toast to the city.

"I've been mistaken about the object of bliss. Although it's barren, poor, and overgrown with weeds... But there are no laws, no morals and ethics, and all the darkness and distortions in human nature that need to be concealed in a civilized society are here. There is nothing to worry about here. Chaos and disorder are such an unconstrained society, 'its strength lies only in the power of some citizens and the indulgence of all the people'①." Luo Xingyi loosened the syringe in his hand , watching it fall in gravity.

"It's not..." He turned around in the wind, opened his hands under the sky, and looked at Qu Lin with a smile, "The world is bliss."

The dazzling light of "Light of Technology" illuminates Luo Xingyi's face. Under the golden eyelashes, a pair of chic wine red eyes reveal a little lonely expression. Behind him is the stage of the entire Elysium City .

Like a beautiful white pigeon, standing outside the cage, it will flap its wings and fly away in the next second.

Qu Lin stood where he was, looking at Luo Xingyi standing outside the tower through the wide gap between the steel thorns, looking at this legend from 24 years ago, his expression changed slightly.

He obviously still has many questions that he intends to ask Luo Xingyi, but right now he doesn't want to know anything.Those problems seemed to be drowned in the bright lights, gradually fading away, only Luo Xingyi standing in the light and the dark night behind him.

The wind was getting stronger, and Qu Lin said aloud: "But this kind of bliss is based on the suffering of countless people."
