Since then, it seems that the world has become silent, natural disasters have not continued to happen, and the survivors have come to another area to live temporarily.

There is no need to explore the world now, because of the sewage and various natural disasters, there are not many living creatures. Human beings have survived so much with their unimaginable perseverance. The power and communication failures in various regions have caused them to be unable to communicate.

Sector D and nearby safe areas gathered together in temporary self-defense mode, which passed for several months.

"But the permafrost is still going on. Obviously, according to the time, the weather should warm up, but now the temperature outside is still below zero, no plants are growing, and only polluted and mutated fish are left in the water. If the soil doesn't melt, we will be gone soon." It's time to eat."

"We have been keeping seeds for a long time, and now the cultivation effect indoors is minimal, and it is really impossible to continue like this."

"Did the Meteorological Department say when winter will end?"

"They're at a loss now."

Most of the equipment of the Scientific Research Bureau and the Medical Bureau are in the headquarters of Area D. The earthquake directly damaged 2/3 of the important equipment, and only a small number of small equipment were brought out. These are not enough for them to detect changes in the world. Most start with visual inspection, as well as manual testing.

It's tough, but everyone is holding on.

Director Tong fell ill. He worked with illness for too long, but in the end he didn’t persist. After coughing up blood, he was forcibly sent to rest by his old partner, Professor Song. Professor Zhao finally came back, but he faced his two disciples as soon as he came back. Bad news.

The scientific research bureau has no leader, and in the end, Professor Zhao, who is still sad, temporarily takes over the burden and leads the scientific research bureau to move forward.

After Cao Yutian's death, Shen Li changed. He still doesn't like to talk, and he will go to work, but this kind of silence is not the same order as before. If he used to respond to others talking to him, it is difficult now. Here he gets a response other than work.

The sharp horns on his forehead gradually grew, and finally grew into the shape of male antlers after a few months. It looked a little weird, especially when standing with others, it was more conspicuous.

Professor Zhao studied the pair of antlers, and finally determined that it grew out of Shen Li's bones, and there were nerves on the horns. If there is no discomfort, it is best not to deal with it. Shen Li didn't want to deal with it either. He often Sitting on the stone outside, the not-so-warm sunlight shone on him, and he looked a little lonely.

It was cold outside, but Shen Li was not afraid of the cold, so they didn't stop him.

Lin Qiming came out wearing a thick cotton coat. He was really afraid of the cold. After moving his body to make sure that he would not freeze, he climbed onto the rock and sat beside Shen Li.

"Brother." He shouted: "It's time to eat, you've been sitting here for a long time, your body will become stiff."

"En." Shen Li responded, his eyes still fixed on the front.

Lin Qiming sighed, "Brother, you seem to be too sad."

Perhaps surprised by Lin Qiming's words, Shen Li was finally willing to move. He turned his head to look at Lin Qiming, "Too sad? Are you talking about me?"

"Senior brother has been like this for several months. It's rare to see you so sad, brother. You can't get back for several months, but this is not good, especially now that the situation is more difficult." Lin Qiming tried to explain his thoughts, " We still have a lot to do, and there are many tests waiting for us."

"I'm really sad, after all, he was the only friend I had in college, but I'm not so sad that I lose my mind."

Shen Li said: "I'm thinking about something."

"Ok?"

"I know that Cao Yutian is lying to me in the end." Shen Li lowered his eyes slightly, "He said he saw a new foretelling, the rivers and mountains are clear and beautiful, the earth has returned to its original state, and birds and flowers are everywhere, and the living finally don't need to worry anymore. After these months of observation, I am sure he is lying to me."

"Even trying to lie to me at the last moment, he really deserves it."

Although he didn't know what the foreknowledge meant, Lin Qiming knew what Cao Yutian was thinking.

He breathed out lightly, as if sighing.

This kind of deceit is not so much a deception as it is trying to comfort Shen Li at the last moment, trying to make Shen Li not give up his good expectations, imagining the best future and persevering, if it is Lin Qiming, he thinks he will say the same.

Shen Li hated lies all his life, but at the last moment he got a white lie.

"I seem to know what some lies mean." Shen Li stared at the sun in the distance, "A lie is like the light of the sun, it will be very dazzling, but sometimes it will feel very warm in winter, as long as you don't look at the sun Just feel the temperature."

Lin Qiming couldn't help laughing, "This is really great, I thought I would spend my whole life explaining the difference between lies and polite words."

"But comfort is also false, and white lies are also lies."

Sure enough, still stubborn...

Lin Qiming was a little helpless, but this was the Shen Li in his memory, who stubbornly judged some things and abided by this standard. This was the reason why Shen Li was always regarded as a weirdo and a rigid scientific researcher. Shen Li was not Not talkative, not overly strict, he's just too weird by certain standards.

For example: a white lie.

"I think it's really bad, so I thought of a way," Shen Li smiled, and said, "Turn the prediction that Cao Yutian said into reality, so it won't be a lie."

Lin Qiming was even more helpless, "Brother, the plan you mentioned is a bit difficult and unrealistic."

"It's unrealistic to have more expectations for the future." Shen Li seemed relaxed on the contrary, "I've been thinking about how to turn what he said into reality. I've considered many factors and thought about many things, but There is still a little doubt that has not been fully determined.”

"If this question is resolved, I think a good solution will be found."

Lin Qiming nodded with his hands in his hands, and it took him a while to realize, "Wait a minute, what are you going to do, brother?"

"Is there a question that has not been completely determined? Are you going to do something important again?"

"It's okay, I will stay away from most people this time, and it will definitely not cause the same problems as last time."

"That's not what it means!" Lin Qiming stood up, "Brother, what are you thinking? Is it still like last time? No, I don't agree."

Shen Li thought for a while, "Actually, I just want to determine how far the things in my body have been separated from me. After Cao Yutian injected the potion, it seemed to have remained silent. This is an important matter."

"But……"

"Good boy, nothing will happen." Shen Li patted Lin Qiming's hair, "It's almost spring."

"what?"

"We are going to welcome a new season of spring and flowers."

Lin Qiming scratched his hair, he sighed after continuing to struggle, as if he finally accepted it.

After this series of incidents, he no longer has the confidence to say things like 'don't do terrible things' and 'I will worry', because Shen Li is experiencing the most unimaginable life in his life, and most people will not He was also forced to go through such a predicament.

They were just victims of this natural disaster, but Shen Li was forced to bear terrible psychological pressure. The extinction of any species might be crushed on him.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Cao Yutian has always been helping Shen Li to build momentum. Even if it is exposed, people will not criticize him too much, and they will not call themselves a damn devil. Cao Yutian has calculated everything and worked hard to help Shen Li. Li concealed it, and didn't know if he had thought that he would die at that time.

So Lin Qiming knew very well that stopping Shen Li might be hurting him.

"Will you be back soon?"

"Probably." Shen Li nodded, "I will come back after I get the answer, and then we will find a way to the future together."

"Okay." Lin Qiming smiled, "At that time, don't abandon me again."

He sent Shen Li away, and watched Shen Li leave the temporary gathering place, stepping on the frozen soil and white snow under his feet, and walked away until he could no longer see Shen Li. Lin Qiming turned and left. He thought that Shen Li was finally with them Same, lost a lot in this disaster, faced with a hopeless situation, lingering in this disaster.

However, Shen Li was still different from them.

Shen Li still hasn't learned their ruthlessness. Even though he has lost so much, he is still full of hope for the future and keeps looking for a way.

Lin Qiming didn't know whether Shen Li really thought this way or he said this to prevent him from worrying. No matter what, Lin Qiming was still very glad that Shen Li could wake up ten years later.

……

Shen Li tried his best to find the highest mountain peak, the colder the higher he went, the more slippery the ground was, it took Shen Li a lot of effort to go up. Fortunately, he was used to drilling deep mountains and old forests ten years ago. So slippery so quickly.

Standing at the top, Shen Li exhaled forcefully, and then he opened his mouth, as if he was talking to others, or talking to himself.

"Are you coming out?"

"If I don't come out, I'll jump from here. Didn't you keep preventing me from dying?"

There was no response, like something in his body didn't have the slightest awareness and couldn't hear him.

Before when Shen Li lost consciousness, he would be replaced by something in his body. After Cao Yutian injected the medicine into his body, this thing never snatched Shen Li's consciousness again. Shen Li was sure that the medicine must have worked, otherwise this thing It won't be so quiet, it is trying to stay in Shen Li's body and not be kicked out, so it has been keeping its head out.

In order to confirm this idea, Shen Li took the syringe back and asked Liao Jiangfan's clone to check the remaining medicine, but Liao Jiangfan did not find out what the medicine was after analyzing it for a long time, but hoped that Shen Li could leave it to him to continue. research, but he unconditionally believes in Cao Yutian's knowledge.

The ground was very slippery, Shen Li looked down at the mountain, the mountain was really high, because of natural disasters all the trees were broken, the mountain was bare and only stones remained, if a normal person fell down, there would be almost no chance of surviving, Shen Li exhaled, closed his eyes and jumped straight down.

The falling speed of human beings is very fast. It only takes a few seconds for a mountain to fall to the ground. Shen Li opened his eyes, and the next moment he felt something catch him.

At the foot of the mountain, the green vine struggled to get out of the ground, stretched it with all its strength and caught him. This vine had an emerald green aura, not like a mutant after the fog, but more like a vigorous plant ten years ago. Shen Li didn't move, he lay flat on the ground, a black thing was rushed out of his body.

That was what Shen Li saw in his dream, the black-gray mist-like thing was connected to his body, sinking and floating in the air.

This was the first time that Shen Li faced the things inside his body after the heavy fog.

"It's you." Shen Li stared at him, "It seems that you can no longer control my consciousness."

"...chess pieces." The black-gray fog tried to speak human words, "It's not important, the important thing is that I'm still inside you."

"As long as I don't leave, then this time, I win."

Shen Li sat up, "Really? It seems that you are not natural at all."

The green vine withered after catching Shen Li. Unlike the weird thorns growing out of his body, the thing catching him was full of vitality. The emerald green color reminded Shen Li of the time when he sketched with his father when he was young. garden.

"Pollution." It seemed to feel that it had a chance to win, it circled around Shen Li, "I want to pollute the whole world."

Shen Li is a biologist and has also studied environmental protection, so he knows very well that pollution can also cause natural disasters.

Air pollution will cause changes in the atmosphere, resulting in extreme winds, and dust will cover the sun. Water pollution will cause water cycle disorders. Even converted rainwater will contain toxic substances. Forest pollution will cause drought, and drought will have more impacts.

Pollution is a natural disaster that completely destroys ecology, and it is also a disaster that is completely opposed to nature.

Its consciousness is not stable, and Shen Li can only hear a few intermittent words from it, but in these intermittent words, Shen Li still has a glimpse of the truth of some things, which Cao Yutian did not discover in the three foresights. thing.

The cause of all this was indeed 30 years ago, but a little earlier than the cataclysm.

Human beings have an impact on nature in the process of development, and all kinds of pollution are increasing. Even if humans try to restore nature, it is not so easy. It will take hundreds of years for nature to digest all these pollutions. Finally, after dumping nuclear wastewater in a certain country, it will be polluted scaled up to intractable situations.

It was also at that time that pollution evolved a sense of rules similar to nature, and began to expand.

The expansion of pollution is very fast. Naturally, in order to deal with this expansion, an extremely abnormal emergency measure was born, that is, the catastrophe. In the cataclysm, everyone remembers the historic heavy rain. Water is a very good purifying substance. The concentrated pollutants can be shunted and the pollutants in the atmosphere can be washed down.

So there was an epic level of rain that day, even if there were consequences, it was trying to wash away the pollution that was going to spread in one go.

It's a pity that pollution is not something that can be cleaned up so easily, so it naturally started to hold back. It chose two people, one to be an emergency measure, and the other to be an alarm device. Shen Li was the chosen emergency measure. Naturally selected, he will not be polluted and will not die, so nature will always protect him.

But it is also because of this that the polluted consciousness just took a fancy to this point, it invaded Shen Li's consciousness, and took root in the body of a person who would not die.

Nature guarantees that Shen Li will not die, and if Shen Li does not die, it will not die either.

This brought about two consequences, one was a strong allergic reaction in Shen Li's body, and the other was Shen Li's 'bad luck'.

"That's why nine out of ten times I go out on rainy days. Even if the weather forecast says there will be no rain today, I will be doused all over my body, because nature wants to clear you out of my body?" Shen Li stared in front of him. "You are not human, but you have learned ten percent of the insidiousness and cunning of human beings."

This also told Shen Li that nature was protecting him when he narrowly escaped the past few times. The things in his body were just curled up inside Shen Li's body, not caring about his life, because it was very aware of Shen Li's importance to nature.

It calls Shen Li a "chess piece", and Shen Li is its chess piece to contend with nature.

Ten years later, the cataclysm had negligible purification of the pollution, so strange new species began to appear. This is the impact of pollution on the earth, and strange creatures that are completely different from the ecosystem have changed. These weird creatures are also destroying the ecosystem. healthy.

Nature is getting more and more difficult, and the ecosystem is stable and stable, but once it is invaded by new creatures without natural enemies, it is particularly easy to be broken. Those new creatures like invasive species are constantly eroding the control of nature and further weakening the ecological cycle.

The last thing that overwhelmed nature was the heavy fog, just like what Shen Li said, it was a global level of ecological pollution.

Biological mutations are programmed into other genes, and after the genes get out of control, they turn into terrible genetic mutants. The ecological cycle is in jeopardy. In the end, nature can only try to maintain the balance in Shen Li's body, so that the last emergency measure will not be polluted and suppress him. The source of pollution in the body caused Shen Li to sleep for ten years.

Ten years later, Shen Li wakes up, pollution wakes up immediately, and natural disasters begin to come.

It even used extreme weather to guide natural disasters at the beginning, causing countless people to think that nature wanted to eliminate human beings, so they had a strong resentment against the synonym of nature, and never thought that this was actually a collateral reaction caused by pollution.

It wasn't until the sewage spread to the river that Shen Li and the others realized something was wrong.

"It lost." Pollution was still speaking strangely. "When choosing creatures, it lost."

"Plants, animals, humans, these consumables cannot bring about any changes, they are just pawns."

Shen Li didn't feel any emotion when he heard it's words, he just stared at the black-gray mist in front of him, his body was covered with white snow, and everywhere was bare, it seemed as it said, nature was completely defeated, ecological The system was destroyed, almost all living things perished, and even the most tenacious human beings were reduced to an unimaginable number.

Even the last emergency measure is taken over by pollution. As long as the emergency measure is not dead, it will not die. If it continues to be consumed slowly, everyone will die, and pollution will take over the whole world.

Shen Li didn't pay attention to him anymore, he knelt down on the ground and began to dig the frozen soil on the ground. He dug up the frozen soil after exhausting all his strength, and dug out the withered green vines from the frozen soil. He held the withered green vines in his hand. Vine, then stood up and walked back with Green Vine.

Nature has never given up on human beings, and has never thought of destroying human beings, at least Shen Li knows this.

"Rotting, dying, this world doesn't need life."

Shen Li didn't seem to hear its voice, just walked in the snow step by step.

Cao Yutian was right about one thing. Nature has placed emergency measures in disasters, and those emergency measures can help humans survive the disaster. This is because although nature will kill humans, it will not kill them all, so it will allow a few humans to survive, but No, nature's emergency measures are not for humans, but for all living things.

Therefore, the fluorescent grass spreads its branches and leaves in the eternal night, providing subtle light for all creatures; the eternal tree nourishes the small creatures by the river in areas far away from humans; the mermaid sings to disperse the heavy rain, and the firebird brings warmth to the world.

This is for the whole world, not just for humanity.

Human beings are part of nature, and other creatures are also nature. It has never given up on human beings, nor will it favor human beings.

When he returned to the gathering place, the pollution had shrunk back into his body, and it could no longer control Shen Li, but he was still shrunk in this safe shell. It was night, and the staff on duty at the gathering place found him, and took He went back to the house and put a thick coat on him.

Only then did Shen Li realize that his body was covered with frost, and even his hair was covered with ice.

Lin Qiming ran over. He was always worried about Shen Li, so he didn't fall asleep. Before he could ask, he saw Shen Li holding a withered plant and looking at it. The frozen soil melted at room temperature, and the wet soil After getting his hand, he didn't care and just kept watching.

So Lin Qiming dragged a chair and sat beside Shen Li to watch it with him.

"This seems to be a vine plant." Lin Qiming tried hard to judge what it was, "...It's a bit like a plant ten years ago, was it discovered by the brother?"

"It's a plant born naturally." Shen Li replied: "Look, is it the original appearance, Qi Ming, I found a way."

"is it?"

"As long as nature is brought back, the plants of ten years ago will grow, the animals will recover, and everything will return to what it was before." Shen Li said: "This plant is proof that the rules of nature are very gentle. It will allow a creature to transform in a short period of time, and it will only promote their evolution a little bit over thousands of years. This kind of slowness ensures the safety of the creature and the smooth operation of the rules."

Lin Qiming blinked, "If brother is right, how should we bring nature back?"

"I don't know." Shen Li continued to stare at the withered grass, "But I'm thinking about a question."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"The fluorescent grass deals with the eternal night, dispelling the darkness to gain light; the eternal tree deals with the drought, and uses its huge body to store water in exchange for the survival of creatures; the mermaid can disperse the storm; the firebird brings heat." Shen Li said to himself, "They all have Respective responsibilities, then why do I exist?"

Lin Qiming was still wondering what a 'mermaid' was, and then heard Shen Li talking about why he existed.

He choked for a moment, feeling that he still had a lot of things he didn't know.

"Brother? You? Emergency measures?"

"What do I exist for? Why do I have to protect me to this extent?" Shen Li murmured, "I don't have any special abilities, I'm just an ordinary person, Qi Ming, what do you think is special about me?"

Lin Qiming stuttered, and then said tentatively, "Because you are very confident?"

"Of course it can't be the reason."

"Okay." Lin Qiming lay down on the table, and he poked the horns on Shen Li's head, "Maybe the brother has a pair of horns, and he has long blue hair and golden eyes."

Shen Li turned his head and looked at Lin Qiming, who nodded after a while.

"Perhaps, this is also possible."

"Eh?" Lin Qiming blinked, "Brother, I was talking nonsense!"
