Many people say that Shen Li lacks sensitivity to this world, perhaps because he slept through the most difficult ten years, so he will not despair of this era.

He is full of hope, and draws a very clear boundary with the people of this era. With the pity and expectation that he had only ten years ago, he didn't even give up his dream. He still thinks about other things besides survival. His heart is too full.

But despair has never been a qualifier, at least in Shen Li's view.

For example, he doesn't know what to do now.

There is the biggest disaster in his body, this disaster carries his life, as long as Shen Li dies, it can be cleared to a certain extent, but Shen Li doesn't want to die, except for the ten years of sleeping, Shen Liman is only doing his best in this place. Lived in the world for more than 20 years.

Things like death are too heavy, and it is difficult for him to die for such a grand reason as the so-called 'for the world'.

Shen Li couldn't fall asleep anymore, he sat up and quietly looked at the dark scenery in the distance, just kept watching like this, as if he was looking at something or not, the firebird seemed to be startled by him, it flapped its wings , then stood up and rubbed against him, buried his head in his lap and fell asleep again.

This bird likes him very much, Shen Li can easily judge this fact.

Shen Li tried to reach out and touch its feathers. Although it was burning with sparks, it still didn't feel hot, only a little warm, and the feathers were smooth. It seemed that the bird had taken care of itself very well.

"My mind is a bit messed up now." Shen Li said to himself, and he didn't think this sleepy bird could understand, "What should I do in the future?"

According to Cao Yutian's words, the world has been suffering from continuous natural disasters. Human beings can survive temporary disasters, but they cannot survive continuous disasters. , but there are still countless terrible things waiting for him.

This is all because the things in Shen Li's body are still alive.

Cao Yutian put all his eggs in one basket, he didn't want Shen Li to die like this, so he concealed the matter and made the last attempt.

This time, if human beings become extinct, they are truly extinct.

Shen Li looked at the night sky and murmured, "Can I say this is a moral kidnapping?"

He never thought that such a situation would happen to him. If he dies, humans will live, and if he lives, humans will die. What a terrible choice.

After a sleepless night, until the first dawn appeared in the sky, the Firebird finally woke up. It flew up and quickly disappeared into the sky. Shen Li sat on it and thought about what he should do in the future. It is not advisable to tell others about this, but what? It doesn't work if you don't do either.

Just then, he heard a voice.

"Brother?"

Shen Li was stunned, and he quickly looked down. From the position he could see on the mountainside, Shen Li saw Lin Qiming. Lin Qiming's face was a little pale, and he was holding a protruding stone. His eyes lit up when he saw Shen Li. , kept waving to Shen Li.

"Senior brother, you are really here, senior brother, are you alright?"

"Qi Ming, why did you come up?" Shen Li tried to stretch out his hand, Lin Qiming's face was ugly, but he tried to reach Shen Li's hand, and finally Shen Li grabbed him and pulled him up to the top of the mountain forcefully.

Lin Qiming was much more embarrassed than Shen Li. His whole body was covered in dirt, his face was ashen, his arms and knees were covered with bruises, his coat was stained red with blood, he was still coughing, as if he had a cold, and his voice was a little hoarse , especially the constant coughing after coming up.

Shen Li patted his back lightly, Lin Qiming flinched, Shen Li was sure that his back was injured.

"It's okay." Seeing the worry in Shen Li's eyes, Lin Qiming smiled, "When I climbed up, I lost my grip and fell. I'm sure it's just a skin injury, not a bone injury."

"That's right, brother."

Lynch stared at Shen Li with bright eyes. He unzipped his coat, and then took out a large test tube from his pocket. In the test tube, a small red fish squeezed inside and wagged its tail with difficulty.

"You still miss this fish at this moment." Shen Li took the test tube in his hand, "Are you really okay?"

"I'm sure, I'm really fine." Lin Qiming sat on the ground, "It was this fish that showed me the way to find my brother. Sure enough, my brother's fish is not an ordinary fish. I can even locate my brother's location, but it's great. Finally saw a living person."

Shen Li was shocked by his words, "A living person?"

"Yeah." Lin Qiming nodded, "I walked up the mountain, and I saw a lot of corpses along the way. Of course, the people on the bottom of the mountain should have a higher self-rescue rate. If the people on the top can't catch it, they will roll down and fall to death. At the beginning, when the mountains expanded, there was a lot of movement...ah, it’s a bit out of touch with the atmosphere, after all, I don’t know what to do now.”

"fine."

"When the mountain range stopped expanding, I was lucky enough to contact other safe areas in a moment, and I was sure that only our place had such extreme earthquakes." Lin Qiming was laughing, but the smile was uglier than crying, "However, this safe area is very important. Because it has received most of the people in Area D nearby."

"It's hard to say how much the Scientific Research Bureau, the Special Bureau, the Medical Bureau, and even the isolated genetic variants will lose in this wave."

The development of human beings lies in wisdom and knowledge, and here are at least the most intelligent and powerful people in this country. This unexpected disaster may make them go back ten years and return to the uncontrollable situation at the beginning of the fog ten years ago. stage.

Shen Li listened to Lin Qiming's words, and then spoke after a while, "Is it easy to go down the mountain?"

"It's not easy to get off, because there are many cliffs below, there are no roads, and the stones are very smooth." Lin Qiming shook his head, "I was hung on a protruding stone, and there were things I could grab beside, so I managed to get over it. , At that time, many people were thrown down with stones, and it was difficult for us two technicians to go down the mountain safely in this situation."

"But we can't wait for rescue here all the time. If it is such a catastrophe, the time for us to get rescue will be infinitely prolonged."

"And rescue in this environment is very difficult." Lin Qiming murmured, "The food is only the emergency supplies that the meteorological department gave us before."

Sure enough, I still have to save myself.

At this moment, there was a bird cry in the distance, Lin Qiming was attracted by the sound, and when he looked up, he saw the bird with flaming wings flying over, grabbing a few bugs, and they watched the fire bird grab the bugs Throwing it in front of Shen Li, it stopped on Shen Li's arm and looked at Lin Qiming suspiciously.

It seems to be asking: I just went out for a while, why is there another person?

Shen Li was helpless, "I really don't eat bugs."

The fire bird flapped its wings, and then saw the test tube bottle in Shen Li's hand, and the little red fish swimming in the bottle. Its eyes lit up, and it jumped off Shen Li's shoulders, throwing the caterpillar on the ground Take it up and throw it into the test tube bottle.

The little red fish looked at the bug that floated in front of it with disgust, but had nothing to eat, so he opened his mouth to eat the bug.

Firebird was happy, and threw all the remaining worms into the test tube bottle.

"Why do I feel that it is feeding the child?" Lin Qiming looked at the firebird strangely.

After the little red fish ate all the worms, the Firebird let out a happy cry, and then flew out again, probably looking for worms again, but it was hard to find worms in this cold winter.

Lin Qiming watched the bird fly away, then he took out the communicator from his pocket, his teeth were grinning in pain because the action involved the wound, his fingers were trembling, and finally he decided to try to see if he could contact the outside.

Shen Li tested the temperature of his forehead with his hand, and he felt very hot the moment he touched it.

"It's hot, you have a fever."

"Really?" Lin Qiming was more surprised than he was. "I've felt cold since just now. I always thought it was because I stayed outside for a long time. I didn't expect it to be a fever. It might be an inflammation of the wound. I'm fine. I'll be fine later. The fever will subside."

Shen Li frowned, "You can't do this. If the wound is not cleaned in time, the inflammation will become more and more serious. In this kind of extreme weather, it is easy to cause problems if you burn it."

"So I'm contacting outsiders." Lin Qiming smiled comfortingly at Shen Li, "I think we will definitely be able to get in touch this time."

"After all, look, we have a blue koi here, and a red koi. How can we still not be able to contact them when there are two koi?"

Shen Li looked at him, and couldn't bear to tell him that he was still the most unlucky person.

Lin Qiming tried to contact the outside again and again. The communication signal on the top of the mountain was not good. In the end, his voice was a little hoarse. When the Firebird came back once, it tilted its head to look at Lin Qiming who was talking constantly, and even gave him several The worm seemed to be asking him to eat something.

In the end, Lin Qiming still failed to contact the outside world.

He lowered his head dejectedly, and then saw Shen Li handing him the frozen worms on the ground with gloves on.

"Brother?" Lin Qiming looked at the bugs suspiciously.

"I have checked that these bugs can heal wounds and have good medicinal value. The Medical Bureau had planned to make new medicines for this bug, but it was delayed by these natural disasters." Shen Li said: "Eat it, you The injury will get better."

Lin Qiming looked at these worms with an ugly expression, and then stared at Shen Li eagerly, "...do I have to eat them?"

"Eat, you still have a fever." Shen Li stared at him, "At that time, the Meteorological Bureau didn't have time to prepare medicine, and the fever depends on boiling, so you are not afraid of burning yourself into a fool."

So Lin Qiming brought the worms slowly, he closed his eyes and stuffed the worms into his mouth, the worms had died a long time ago, it was not that he had never eaten worms, but the raw taste was still disgusting, he worked hard for a long time I swallowed the worms and didn't spit them out.

Lin Qiming breathed a sigh of relief after eating.

He stared at the remaining worms, and then suddenly realized, "So that firebird keeps catching this kind of worms for us to heal our wounds?"

"Probably." Shen Li nodded, "You can eat the rest at night."

Lin Qiming's face turned ugly again, he sighed, "Brother, don't you want to eat?"

"I'm not hurt?"

"Huh?" Lin Qiming looked at the blood on his face unexpectedly, "But the blood on your face..."

"It's someone else's." Shen Li wiped it off, but unfortunately the blood had dried up long ago and couldn't be wiped off without water, so he didn't care.

He looked down the mountain, then pressed his hand to the ground, and he spoke after a while, "Qiming, did you notice something, or did you notice it when you went up?"

"what?"

"Frozen soil." Shen Li took off his gloves and pressed the mountain soil under his hands, "The soil is very hard and icy, and there is still frost. The surface temperature is extremely low, much lower than the air temperature. This kind of extreme frozen soil Is it only on this mountain, or is it all down the mountain?"

Lin Qiming knew what Shen Li meant.

As biologists, it is common to study the biological environment. They know that plants grow in various regions. Even in deserts, cacti can grow, and grasses can struggle to emerge from the cracks in rocks. Plants in plateau permafrost grow extremely slowly, and biological There are very few species, and only a few extreme plants exist.

If the whole world is covered by this kind of frozen soil, unless the temperature in the next spring is warm enough to melt the frozen soil, then they will not be able to grow food in the coming year, and it may affect the growth of other plants. The failure of plants to grow will definitely affect the food supply. Grass animals, which in turn lead to starvation of carnivores.

The ecological cycle in this world affects the whole body, not just human beings, but all living things.

A picture emerges of two biologists together, starting to discuss what impact this situation will have on biodiversity for the coming year, to the point where both end up worrying about the year ahead, and worst-case scenario spring is here and there are no bugs germination.

Moreover, Shen Li remembered the third foreknowledge that Cao Yutian said, the seawater submerged the earth little by little, water was everywhere, and no creature except marine life could avoid this piece of water.

Rather than saying that it is exterminating human beings, it is better to say that it is returning the ecology of the earth to its original state...

In the beginning, the earth should be a world with only sea water, and the origin of all life is in the sea.

Lin Qiming was sleepy. The worm he ate was a medicinal worm. Untreated medicinal worms would have side effects. Slight toxicity would not cause problems for people, but would only cause short-term sleep. Lin Qiming gave the communicator to Shen Lirang After trying to contact Shen Li when he had time, he couldn't help but close his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the communicator in his hand, Shen Li put it on his body, and Shen Li, who hadn't slept much for two days and one night, felt tired.

But he still put all the clothes he could find on Lin Qiming's body. Now that Lin Qiming has a fever, he has the gene of fluorescent grass and is not afraid of the cold. People are prone to hypothermia when they are asleep. He doesn't want to wake up and see Lin Qiming was even more severely frozen.

Huobi moved closer to Shen Li, yes, it hasn't left yet.

Shen Li didn't know when he fell asleep, he just felt that having Lin Qiming by his side was indeed more at ease than being alone.

What woke them up again was the sound of the communicator. Shen Li sat up all of a sudden, only to realize that the sky had begun to turn dark. It seemed that it was already evening, and Lin Qiming was also woken up. His movements were still a little slow, and he was a little dazed. Yes, Shen Li hastily switched on the communicator.

"This is Shen Li, is it the bureau?"

"Shen Li... finally got in touch." The other side was coughing, and Shen Li could hear Director Tong's voice.

"Chief?"

"Where are you? Is there anyone around? I'll send someone to pick you up now."

Shen Li hurriedly said: "Lin Qiming is with me. We are on the top of the mountain. After judging that we are on the mountain in the middle of the safety zone, the temperature here is very low. Qiming has a fever. I hope the rescue can be faster. Director, are you coughing?" ?”

"A little bit of injury, nothing serious." Chief Tong said short of breath, "Xiao Shen, go to the inpatient department after you come back."

Shen Li was stunned, "Inpatient department? Is someone I know seriously injured?"

"Yes." Director Tong said, "Your mother was hit by a falling rock and is now unconscious. Go and see her when you come back."

Director Tong has always known that the relationship between Shen Li and Ban Jiayang is very bad. As the person who single-handedly promoted her back then, he watched Ban Jiayang find a lover, watch her get married and have children happily, but at a certain moment he came back out of anger. , and never went back.

He won't meddle in other people's family affairs, but she is Shen Li's mother after all, so he still has to visit at the last moment.

Shen Li's hands trembled, he was a little at a loss for this notice.

After hanging up the communication, Shen Li sat quietly on the spot. Lin Qiming finally regained consciousness, and finally realized that the communicator was ringing just now. He was just about to ask Shen Li when the rescue came when he saw Shen Li's expression.

Lin Qiming had never seen Shen Li like this.

He has always been weird, he doesn't understand jokes, he doesn't understand other people's real thoughts, he is confident, he has always been confident in his knowledge, confident in his own ideas, his self-confidence has also influenced many people, but Lin Qiming is the only one I have never seen Shen Li like this.

It's like... being caught off guard by something difficult to accept, his brain was short-circuited, and he couldn't react correctly, causing him to be in a state of confusion.

In the end, Lin Qiming didn't speak, he just stayed beside Shen Li quietly, as if this could bring him some comfort.

……

Shen Li sat on the chair outside the ward and waited for the disinfection to finish, because he was going to enter a special ward.

The entire safety zone was squeezed by mountains, and the number of dead and injured was very large. They had to call for emergency treatment from the nearest general hospital. Ban Jiayang was sent here for emergency surgery because of his serious injuries and special status, and then sent to the ICU. observe.

"It will be fine." The nurse who was disinfecting him next to him was already tired and weak, but she still comforted Shen Li with a smile on her face, "Mr. Shen Li is a koi, with you here, the deputy director of the class will definitely save the day."

At that moment, Shen Li felt a strong sense of gap.

Is he really lucky?No, no one was more unfortunate than him.

At the beginning of the cataclysm, he was naturally selected, and his consciousness was in an unstable stage for nearly a year. The extreme behavior caused disagreements between the parents. In the end, Shen Li was abandoned by his mother. After regaining consciousness, his father died of a serious illness.

As if from that moment on, his disaster was doomed.

Without all of these, he might still be the favorite child of his parents, and his mother would take him by the hand and take him to see the flowers and plants, and he would still become a biologist, but this time it was like someone else As I said, the research was carried out because of my mother's admiration, not a white lie of my father before his death.

"Okay." The little nurse reminded Shen Li, "Mr. Shen Li can go in."

Shen Li forced a smile to thank her, and then he walked into the ward, where Ban Jiayang was lying alone, with only a little nurse observing the equipment.

Rong Yuqing is not here, because she has not been found since she disappeared.

No matter whether they are evil or not, or whether there is an intersection, in this case, even a single number of those missing people seems so terrible.

Shen Li sat in front of Ban Jiayang's hospital bed. Ban Jiayang was still a little conscious. Shen Li could see the thick bandage on her forehead and the various tubes inserted into her chest. She was hurt too badly. He is so heavy that he can only rely on machines to barely maintain his life.

"You're here." Ban Jiayang's voice was so low that Shen Li could barely hear it clearly, "I didn't expect to see you in the end, it's not bad."

Shen Li didn't speak, just listened to her.

"I have been drowsy since I came here, and I always think of you when you were a child. You were really cute at that time. I am so happy with your father. I don’t know why you have changed, and I have changed. Now Come to think of it, I'm really an incompetent mother and an incompetent wife."

"I didn't even find out about my husband's death until a long time later, and I couldn't even take responsibility for my own children."

"Xiao Li." Ban Jiayang asked, "Do you hate me?"

Shen Li looked at her, "To be honest, I didn't have the feeling of hating for a long time. It's not so much hating as saying that I didn't have it before, so I didn't feel anything. I don't love you, so naturally I don't hate you."

"Really?" Ban Jiayang smiled, but the smile was ugly, as if she was crying, "It's true, an old lady suddenly apologized at the last moment of her life, she was not sincere at all, and I would be like that It feels like I really deserve it."

"En." Shen Li said: "That's right, you deserve it."

She deserved that she didn't get any good words at the last moment of her life, and she deserved that even a blood relative didn't love her sincerely.

Shen Li just couldn't love her, even if she knew that she gave up on herself because of her extreme behavior, because she was too unlucky, but she gave up too quickly and confidently, as if she didn't have any love for her child and couldn't give Love, how can you get love.

"But at the very least, I still apologize on my own." Ban Jiayang said: "I'm sorry Xiao Li, you didn't love me before, so don't try to love me again in the future."

The machine made a screeching sound, and the little nurse hurriedly informed the doctor. Shen Li watched the little nurse and someone push her out. Shen Li could only follow them to the operating room. The doctor asked him to sign the operation notice, and Shen Li also signed it. Well, the only time I signed something like this as a family member.

The red light in the operating room was on, and Shen Li was sitting on the waiting seat. Just like back then, he was sitting here waiting for the results of his father's operation.

Shen Li twisted his fingers vigorously, but he didn't care at all when his fingertips turned white, he didn't think about anything, he didn't pay attention to anything, he just quietly let his thoughts quiet down a little bit.

Until the operating lights went out, the doctor came out with a face full of regret, Shen Li took the notice, there was still no excitement in his golden eyes.

Ban Jiayang is an excellent biologist. She is an indispensable deputy director of the Scientific Research Bureau. She has made many contributions to mankind, but she is not a qualified mother. Shen Li put the notice on the seat next to her. above, eyes fixed on the empty waiting room outside the operation.

... Right now, he doesn't even have anyone who can be called a 'mother'.
