While Luo Xingyi was looking at the warning message sent to him by Wang Shu without saying a word, Qu Lin had already turned the car around to get away from the fleeing army, turned from a side bend, and drove towards the road where there was no road at all. barren slope.

After the war that lasted for several years ended, the follow-up damage caused by biological and chemical weapons still lingered on this land for a long time.

All the places along the road are barren hills and dead trees.Those ethereal or skinny and sharp outlines are like ghosts lurking in the dark, silently laughing, waiting for the next wandering undead.

It was probably prepared for the road. This armored vehicle is extremely fast, and it walks steadily no matter what the terrain is, like walking on flat ground.Coupled with Qu Lin's drag racing speed like an active racing driver, when Luo Xingyi came back to his senses, they had already jumped ten kilometers away, leaving the City of Elysium far behind, and they didn't look back.

"Are we heading north?" Luo Xingyi asked suddenly, his voice was calm and natural, without any clues.

So Qu Lin was not too skeptical, and responded to his voice, "Well, passing through this hill is the border of the Eastern Military Region, and then go to the military base that sent mercenaries over."

The old ruins are collapsing, and a new chapter is slowly unfolding before people's eyes.As usual, Qu Lin, who had been hanging around the Central Army for six years without being caught, despised the Central Army in his heart, and said to Luo Xingyi: "After you leave the City of Elysium, you will see the true appearance of the Eastern Military Region. It's good, it's bad, I don't judge, just like the "Underground Railroad" you memorized...you can see for yourself."

When Qu Lin said this, his tone was a little different from usual, with a little guidance and incitement, so that Luo Xingyi sounded like an invitation.

He turned his head slightly to see that Qu Lin was driving this armored vehicle that was said to be a new energy drive system, galloping along with the howling autumn wind at night, and saw that his expression was determined, his eyes were bright, and he wanted to go through the endless darkness to a new dawn.

But Luo Xingyi knew that dawn was too far away for him to go.

Luo Xingyi put down the phone silently, picked up the bottle of water bought at the convenience store, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips calmly. When the cap was closed, the cap slid once before it was successfully capped and put aside.

It's strange, when people know that their time is numbered, most of them will regret, they will dig out the old unsatisfactory accounts of the past, and count the regrets and mistakes that they want to repent... Can't wait to do it all over again.

——But Luo Xingyi didn't.

He even calmly accepted the fact that he was about to die soon, took a sip of water calmly, and thought calmly, what could he leave for others when he was still conscious?

When every human being enters adolescence, he will dig deep inward and produce a philosophical question such as "what is the meaning of my existence?"; and when a person is dying, he will look back at his life and ask another question Summarizing question: "What have I been doing with my life?"

Luo Xingyi couldn't answer any of the above two questions. After all, he was not a philosopher of the last days.So he can only count his material and intangible personal inheritance, and explain the important things first while he can still catch his breath.

First of all, what he thought of were several big mysteries entangled in him and "Moon Palace".But in the next second, he thought again, Qu Lin was already the center of the whirlpool, and the heavy responsibilities and secrets he carried were not necessarily less than him, and maybe even more than him.

Although some of Luo Xingyi's moral qualities are worrying, he is still a good person in essence, so after thinking about it, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

The unsolved mysteries that have come down from the ground for more than 20 years, let it continue to bury it, as if it has never been dug up-it is better than forcing it on an outsider who has worked hard enough.

Then he thought of Wang Shu, although he didn't know the purpose of this internet addict boy begging for nothing to come out with him, but now, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not.

Thinking that Wang Shu might become an orphan and become an obsolete mobile phone after the phone ran out of battery, Luo Xingyi hesitated and made a decision in a short time.

He wants to entrust Wang Shu to Qu Lin.

There was plenty of light in the car, and Luo Xingyi, in order to make himself look the same—he couldn’t explain why he refused to confess what he had been infected with—had used all his life’s acting skills to maintain his composure, his eyes under the light The veins flowed beautiful wine red, but did not tremble.

Remembering that there was still half a bag of unfinished biscuits in the bag, Luo Xingyi felt the bag of biscuits out with cold fingers, opened the bag hissingly, and handed it to Qu Lin: "Eat it? I haven't eaten it all day." Eat something, let’s eat it. I think you like to eat this sandwich." Then he took out a piece and chewed it.

The pineapple sandwich was sweet and sour. Luo Xingyi couldn't tell whether it was good or not, but Qu Lin ate a few pieces in the warehouse before and didn't dislike it. Presumably he liked it, it was delicious.That's why he took it.

"No need." Qu Lin didn't pick it up. The road was not easy to walk, so he focused all his attention on clearing the way.

Luo Xingyi ate two biscuits, probably sweets have a natural placebo effect, and he felt much more stable.Relying on the fact that Qu Lin was driving on the night road, he couldn't fully focus on him, so he lied to him and said, "Qu Lin, I just thought about it for a long time and decided to tell you some good news!"

"speak."

Luo Xingyi had an inscrutable expression on his face: "Mr. Qu, do you know that 'Moon Palace' is famous far and wide, and what is it based on?"

Hearing his playful tone, Qu Lin was a little afraid that he would give some strange answer, so he said directly, "It's Wang Shu."

"That's right, it's Wangshu, the super-age artificial intelligence independently developed by 'Yuegong'. I thought about it, we are also brothers in life and death. I am so upright, and it is not a man who hides this secret from you." Luo Luo Xing Yi put the biscuit aside, took out his mobile phone and shook it, "So, you have made a lot of money. Come and see, this is Wang Shu, although there is only a part of the program."

He suggested: "Wang Shu, say hello to Mr. Qu?"

The screen of the mobile phone lit up, and a clear and youthful voice came out from the microphone of the mobile phone: "Hello, Mr. Qu, although this is not the first time we have met, it is still a pleasure to have a formal conversation with you."

Although Qu Lin also guessed whether the mobile phone that Luo Xingyi often played with was a scientific research product of 'Yuegong', he never thought that it would carry Wangshu's operating program.

Therefore, even Qu Lin, who had the audacity to take away the "judgment", was startled by Luo Xingyi's courage, and felt that Luo Xingyi's ability to cause trouble should not be underestimated, and then looked back at Wang Shu's words, "Wang Shu, hello, I I've seen you before too—in the textbook."

Because Luo Xingyi had given Wang Shu an order in advance not to inform Qu Lin that he was infected with "Sunset" in any form, so Wang Shu only said in a steady voice: "It is my honor to be famous in history."

The two of them had a successful conversation, and once the matter of entrusting Wang Shu to him was started, Luo Xingyi felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly lightened by half.He said to Qu Lin in this moment of complete relief, "Wang Shu, this kid, is really an Internet addict. Fortunately, you have a 'judgment', so you can shoot him."

Qu Lin was very helpless when he heard that, "'Judgment' is not for this kind of thing."

"Just kidding." Luo Xingyi tapped his phone twice, and after making a few fake moves to confuse the other party, he finally revealed his real purpose, "Shall I give you a limited right to save Wangshu here?"

However, Qu Lin was so perceptive, he distractedly glanced at Luo Xingyi when he heard the words, then glanced at Wangshu's mobile phone, and asked, "Why did you mention this suddenly? Are you not afraid that I have other plans for you?"

Under the bright golden light, Qu Lin saw Luo Xingyi's golden eyelashes drooping under the light, revealing a look he had never seen before. Before he could see clearly, Luo Xingyi had already raised his head I raised my eyes, "Why did I give it to you...? Qu Lin, I told you that I am not blind, you are not a double-faced person. If you have any thoughts about me or about 'Yue Gong' or Wang Shu, you would have done it long ago isn't it?"

He smiled, and said the truth in the completely false gift restriction: "I am a complete mess right now, and there are many dangers outside the Bliss City, and I can't tell who is the enemy or the friend... and you, no matter what What is your purpose, at least I can be sure that you have no malice towards me. That's enough. "

"Wangshu is very convenient, you will like it." Luo Xingyi raised the phone's camera to Qu Lin's face, "Come on, record an iris and save a message."

Luo Xingyi was talking about stored information, but in fact, when Qu Linyi glanced at his iris and exposed it to the camera, his iris information was included in Wangshu's database, and the master and authorized person was also assigned by Luo Xingyi. Yi changed to Qu Lin.

Immediately afterwards, one right after another began to modify the user...

Really flawless acting skills, the film and television industry really needs me... Luo Xingyi, who has completed the handover of authority, couldn't help but laugh out loud in his seat.Laughing and laughing, he coughed, the more he coughed, the more his nerves jumped, disrupting his breathing.

Seeing that Luo Xingyi could cough with a smile, Qu Lin didn't know what to say about him, so he freed his hand to relieve him.

He didn't feel Luo Xingyi's high body temperature through two layers of clothes, and he was sitting on the air vent in front of the window. He only heard Luo Xingyi say inexplicably: "Qu Lin, you know that although I don't like it, I can't bear it." Is there anything that doesn't admire you?"

Qu Lin withdrew his hand and continued to focus on the road, "What?"

"You never do useless work." Luo Xingyi was a little dizzy. He adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable. "Don't do things that have no results, and don't save people who are doomed. This is really economical."

Qu Lin heard that Luo Xingyi spoke with a bit of nasal and deep voice, so he raised his hand and pressed the switch of Luo Xingyi's car window, and closed the window for him, "So?"

"So I think it's pretty good, ah..." Luo Xingyi yawned after finishing everything, feeling relaxed, feeling that the funeral is over, and the rest can be left to fate.

So Luo Xingyi, who adheres to the principle of saying less and making less mistakes, shut up: "I'm a little sleepy, let's sleep first."

For no reason, after Luo Xingyi finished saying this and turned his head to the window to quiet down, Qu Lin suddenly felt strange palpitations.Not obvious, very slight, but icy and numb, it was the sixth sense called "omen" that pricked him.It wakes people up instantly.

He glanced at Luo Xingyi reflexively, but only saw his left ear and the black hair covering most of his face.

Not right.

There is a problem with this passage.Qu Lin thought about it calmly, and then quickly went through all Luo Xingyi's actions and words just now in his mind, compulsively restoring every tone and every word he perceived.

"fine."

"Shall I give you a limited right to save here in Wangshu?"

"Don't do things that have no results, and don't save people who are doomed."

……

The bag that only ate two biscuits was still on the driver's seat, and one piece fell out. Qu Lin's gaze fell on the packaging bag, remembering that when Luo Xingyi handed him the biscuit just now, he seemed to be trembling a little hand.

Vaguely, Qu Lin felt as if he already knew the answer, but he didn't quite understand it.His reason and feelings were suddenly out of harmony and inconsistent at this moment.

Because if this assumption is followed, all doubts today can be solved, but he is unwilling to assume that.

Why should he believe in something that is not definitive?

And while he said he didn't believe it, he had already reacted contradictoryly.Qu Lin's face was still so calm, but his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, revealing his illusion of calm.The fingers holding the steering wheel gradually tightened, and his Adam's apple slipped, and then, the armored vehicle suddenly changed speed and rushed out quickly.

Qu Lin is such a person. The perennial living environment has made him develop the habit of always being the first to execute when a situation arises, rather than expressing his inner feelings.

Ordinary people may not understand his way of closing his feelings, but he has to admit that under such circumstances, this choice is the most efficient.Only by abandoning the softness of the body can one be invulnerable.

He has been doing so.

He once walked out of the experimental field by stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He also used the only plastic tableware in his hand to kill the guards.Cut off everything in the past with his own hands, and start a six-year escape career in isolation.

Qu Lin, who has such courage, is holding the steering wheel in his hands at this moment, his heartbeat is still in order, but a chill is attacking.He smiled in his heart, thinking, this is really interesting, fighting against the sky is really a lot of fun.

It seemed that fate had made up his mind to confront him, and when Qu Lin began to speed up to any nearest medical institution, Luo Xingyi's condition finally began to deteriorate as he had imagined at worst.

He has a high fever.

At first, Luo Xingyi just felt hot and weak all over his body. The high body temperature affected his thinking and judgment. If he told Qu Lin, he would reveal his secrets, so he closed his eyes and really fell asleep.

But soon, he was awakened by the high fever and strong breathing difficulties, and he opened his lips slightly to pant.

The sound of rapid breathing was very small, but there was not much room in the car, almost as soon as he noticed that Luo Xingyi's breathing was disturbed, Qu Lin stretched out his hand to check on him.

It's okay if you don't touch it, but when Qu Lin stretched out his hand, his hand was hot!Now I can't calm down anymore.He didn't do anything else, he downshifted immediately, stepped on the brakes directly, and slammed on the brakes while driving fast, stopping the car extremely dangerously!

Luo Xingyi, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown out by inertia, and then pulled back by Qu Lin. The biscuits on the driver's cab fell on the windshield and spilled out.

Qu Lin brushed away the sweat-soaked black hair on Luo Xingyi's face, and touched his cheeks that seemed to be burning. His heart skipped a beat from the heat, and he called Luo Xingyi's name twice, but there was no response. Immediately call Wang Shu.

Finally, Wang Shu, who was in Qu Lin's voice, complained pitifully: "Mr. Qu, Mr. Luo has set a confidentiality limit. I can't take the initiative to disclose any information to you at the moment!"

As soon as he heard it, he knew it and didn't report it. Qu Lin was almost pissed off by this person and AI, "You're still fucking smart! You don't know how to weigh the importance of such things?!"

"...Then you have limited rights to lift the ban now, do you want to lift the ban?" Wang Shu immediately offered an idea.

Qu Lin suppressed his temper and didn't care about this artificial mentally handicapped person, "Excuse me, tell me about his situation immediately!"

"Okay." Wang Shu replied, "According to my judgment, Mr. Luo is likely to have been infected with 'Sunset', and his antibody cannot resist it. If it is not suppressed, there may be a risk of disease..."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Qu Lin was still shocked and thrilled when he heard the words "infecting the setting sun".

He reached out and took Wang Shu out of Luo Xingyi's pocket, and put it next to the navigator on the bridge, staring at it with blade-like eyes, and said in a tone so cold that the words froze: "Now, find me a source of water .”

According to a research direction given by the current scientific research, although the "sunset" virus has no means to completely purify it, the low temperature and low concentration of liquid water can form a stable environment for the "sunset", reduce the breaking rate of chemical bonds, and temporarily inhibit Active and delayed spread - this is also the reason why the "sunset" virus in the pollution source outside the Bliss City is entrenched but has not spread.

But this method is only a theoretical delay.Here in the wilderness, Qu Lin has no choice but to seize this slim opportunity.

Luo Xingyi heard Qu Lin's ice-like voice in the high fever, and the target of the attack was still Wang Shu. He felt a little protective in his heart, and even though his eyelids were swollen and heavy, he tried to open his eyes and said, "You are so fierce! What... is the limit I set."

"You still think you did the right thing, don't you?" Qu Lin pulled Luo Xingyi to his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "It was at the subway station, didn't it!"

Luo Xingyi felt that Qu Lin's mood swings were bigger than his, and he wanted him, a dying person, to calm his emotions, "Maybe...don't be too burdened. In that case, whether I help you or not, I'm all potentially infected."

Qu Lin was so annoyed by Luo Xingyi's "enlightenment" that he didn't want to speak. Just as Wang Shu had already connected to the navigator network and showed a new map route, he quickly put Luo Xingyi back in the co-pilot and led him through the safety belt to his system. On the road, restart the car at full speed and rush to the water source thousands of miles away.

On the way, Luo Xingyi was confused, and began to ramble on about illogical things.

With his eyes closed, he said "cookie biscuit running around with flowers" for a while, and "why is there so much blood on my body..."

The ground on the road was uneven, and a big pothole caused the vehicle to bump a bit. Luo Xingyi coughed a few times, panted and took a few breaths, and seemed to wake up from a daze, but what he said was——

"Evolution is something that everyone thinks should be the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest, but in fact the word 'evolution' is simply a passive voice, as if I have a choice."

"...Where do I have a choice? If I meet the conditions, I will stay, and if I don't, I will be eliminated. The choice of fate is like this, and I will never...just keep anyone because of excellence and strength."

Qu Lin frowned and listened to Luo Xingyi's nonsense all the way, his heart was disturbed.He looked at the narrow road ahead that was stuck between two boulders, took off his seat belt, picked up Wangshu, opened the door and got out of the car.

Walking around to Luo Xingyi's co-driver in a few steps, he opened the door and bent down to unfasten the seat belt on Luo Xingyi's body. While being scalded by his hot breath, he pulled his arm over his shoulder, trying to put it on his shoulders. He recited it.

Although Luo Xingyi was thin, he was still a big man about 1.8 meters tall, and now he was weak and weak. Not only could he not be of much help, but he was also in various ways. Qu Lin tried three times before he found the correct way to carry someone back. Lifted his legs and carried him out.

When he got up, because of his inexperience, Luo Xingyi knocked on the roof of the car. The sound was like adding another noise to Qu Lin's already chaotic heart. He closed his eyes and asked quickly and unconsciously: "Pain?" No pain?"

After Luo Xingyi was hit like this, he woke up a lot from the pain.He hung his hands on Qu Lin's shoulders, rubbed the back of Qu Lin's neck with difficulty and shook his head in response, and after a while, he had the strength to speak softly: "Can you do me a favor... I just praised you The economy, knowing how to maximize profits... why did you slap me in the face?"

Before, Luo Xingyi was a little worried that Qu Lin would immediately turn his face and ruthlessly kick him out of the car when he found out that he was infected, but now he began to worry that it would take time and effort for Qu Lin to do these useless tasks...

He sighed helplessly, "I was infected with 'Sunset', Qu Lin, there is no way out."

Qu Lin ignored him, and the man on his back strode forward.

Luo Xingyi is right, in most cases he is very "economical".Don't do things that have no results, don't save people who can't be saved, but this is the second time he has fought against reason and chosen the "uneconomical" side.

He did what didn't work out the first time, and he hasn't regretted it so far. Now he chooses to carry Luo Xingyi on his back to save a person who might not be saved.

I didn't think about regretting it or not.

On the way, Luo Xingyi kept calling him, "Qu Lin."

Qu Lin didn't respond, feeling the sweat beads on Luo Xingyi's face sliding down his skin, it was very hot.

"Qu Lin."

Qu Lin still pretended not to hear, he climbed a steep uphill road, looked at the endless path ahead, his blue eyes were cold, as deep as a wolf.

"Qu Lin."

Qu Lin kept walking, unable to bear it any longer, "Say."

Finally he agreed to the call, Luo Xingyi curled up his mouth and smiled, leaned against Qu Lin's neck, and said softly: "For the sake of I have helped you so many times, give me a Happy... After I die, can you secretly bury me back after the people from the Central Military Region have left?"

"I'm from Qinglan City... Oh, Qinglan City is the current Bliss City. In terms of funerals, I still agree with fallen leaves returning to their roots. If you find it troublesome, you can just bury me here, and you can't leave... ..."

"Shut up! It's just a fever, why are you so squeamish!" Qu Lin knew that he couldn't say anything good, so he interrupted his chattering viciously.

Hearing his "definition" fever, Luo Xingyi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed muffledly while lying on Qu Lin's back, "You are so kind."

It was as if his whole body was on fire, the heat was rolling towards his face, every breath, every word seemed to be wrapped in a scorching flame, burning like a flame.

But Qu Lin didn't dare to extinguish the flame.

"...Qu Lin, let's talk about five yuan more, I still have something to say."

Among the quiet mountains, there are many barren hills, and there is no one without smoke.Luo Xingyi's face was burning red, his eyes were half closed, he heard Qu Lin's heavy breathing when he was rushing fast, and he thought to himself, why are you working so hard?

Why so rush?

He closed his eyes, and leaned on Qu Lin's back without struggling, without causing any unnecessary burden. He knew that Qu Lin's actions were nothing more than fetching water from a bamboo basket, but he was sincerely grateful for this heavy friendship.

I am grateful for this life-and-death rush.

"Actually, my life should have ended a long time ago. Every day I live now is for nothing." Luo Xingyi said suddenly, maybe it was too uncomfortable, his voice was very ethereal in the wind, "My mother's body has been Very weak, when I was pregnant with me, I tried my best to fight against all opinions... I almost died during the birth. So I always felt that my father didn't like me very much, after all, I caused my mother so much pain."

His chest was pressed against Qu Lin's back, and he heard the beating heartbeat of the other party, speaking slowly and ecstatically.

"Later, when I was 12 years old, my situation entered a period of rapid change-did I not tell you that I was actually a leukemia patient? I have been a leukemia patient since I was a child, and I don't remember much. I broke into the ward and sent me to the 'Moon Palace', and asked my superiors to give me special approval to participate in the 'Leap Project'... My dad is actually a very machismo, but that day he knelt in front of the old leader's door all night, and finally got a chance Give me a way out on my knees.

He gave up all the bright futures of promotion, left his family and went to the 'Moon Palace' to become a garrison officer, and my mother, a young lady, was willing not to return home, and lived with me in the 'Moon Palace' every day and every year.So no matter how hard the training was and how uncomfortable the reagents injected during the experiment were, I believed that there must be someone in this world who needs me alive. "

But where have all the people who needed me gone?

Do you still need it?Anyone else need it?

...?

Luo Xingyi is not a pessimistic person, but.

"Qu Lin, in my life... although I have regrets, I don't regret anything. It's good to know you, and... thank you for walking with me on the last journey."

He muttered in a lower and lower voice.

In the bleak autumn night, Qu Lin carried Luo Xingyi, who was burned unconscious, and ran through the valley, running towards the life-saving water source in the distance, not daring to stop for a moment.

The galaxy hangs upside down in the sky, and the twinkling stars are like pairs of sympathetic eyes, watching this pair of young people who have met death on a narrow road.The night wind blew past, rustling away the dead branches and fallen leaves, leaving vague and hasty footprints one after another on the mud...

Winding all the way.
