Sorry for the late update. It will be done soon. Give me 20 minutes.]
In the darkness far away, there was a shadow that looked like a small hill. It was moving towards her at an extremely slow speed. Marcie immediately stopped in her tracks.
Although the shadow was huge, its speed was too slow. She put down the first aid kit and waited for a few minutes with her arms crossed. The huge shadow gradually approached and revealed its original appearance in front of her. When she saw it clearly, Marcie raised her eyebrows. "… What are you doing?"
It was Hu Changzai.
Hu Changzai had a rope on his shoulder, and the other end of the rope was tied to the unconscious Hai Tianqing. Hu Changzai was trying his best to pull Hu Changzai forward. The scene was like a chick pulling a camel. Hu Changzai was so tired that he was panting like a bull, and his eyes were bulging out of their sockets. "Phew … Ha … Help … Help …"
When he looked up, he was dumbfounded. "Marcie, how did you end up like this?"
There was not a single part of Marcie's body that was unharmed. It was either bandages or medicine. Even the original color of her skin could not be seen. She sighed helplessly. "There were too many wounds just now, so I went to the infirmary to treat them. I took some things that I thought might be useful. Don't worry, they are all superficial wounds … But you, Chen Jinfeng was killed by me, but you dragged your opponent away. What is the meaning of this? "
Hu Changzai's gaze fell upon the first aid kit and he fell to the ground with a thud. He waved his hand weakly. "Let, let's treat his wounds first … We have a common enemy … As for the specifics, we'll talk about it after I, after I catch my breath …"
Since he said so, Marcie took out some alcohol and a needle and thread to treat Hai Tianqing's wounds. After that, she fed him the medicine. She laughed at herself as she wiped the blood off her hands with a cotton cloth. "Ever since I came to the oasis, I've almost become a surgeon … Alright, let him sleep here. He'll have to rely on himself for the rest."
Anyway, with Hai Tianqing's physique, it would be difficult for him to move anywhere. Hu Changzai nodded. At this time, there were a few coughs from afar. Then, someone asked softly, "… Is that Marcie?"
The two of them looked up and saw a person stumbling out of the darkness. It was Fang Dan.
Fontaine's skin was covered with large patches of bruises, but there were no wounds. However, her expression was terrible. "That's great, I've finally found you —" Before she could finish her sentence, her body was about to slide down.
Hu Changzai quickly held her up. Marcie quickly came over to check on her and was shocked. "At least three of your ribs are broken! How can you still walk around? It's too dangerous … Where's your opponent? "
Fang Dan squeezed out a weak but proud smile. "I'm still alive. Of course he's dead."
After that, she turned her eyes and looked at Hai Tianqing. She was shocked. "Ah! What's going on? "
Hu Changzai quickly explained to her, and only then did Fang Dan shut her mouth. Marcie did some emergency treatment for her. Seeing that she was in no condition to walk, the two of them supported her and slowly lay down beside Hai Tianqing.
"Let's go check on Xiao Jiu's condition, and then we'll come back for you. Although there's no one outside, you should hide beside Cadre Hai … "Marcie said softly.
Fang Dan nodded and leaned on Hai Tianqing's thick, tree-trunk arm. Her expression gradually relaxed.
Seeing that she closed her eyes, Marcie and Hai Tianqing didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed to the Cadre Building.
"… I didn't know that Fang Dan is also very powerful! What ability does she have? "Hu Changzai asked as he struggled to catch up with Marcie's speed.
Marcie paused and looked back at him in surprise. "I don't know. Both of you have been in the oasis for so long, I thought you knew … "
Hu Changzai was stunned, but he didn't take it to heart. When Fang Dan was better, there would be plenty of opportunities to ask.
After running for less than a minute, the Cadre Building was already in sight. The dust stirred up by the two of them had already attracted the attention of a few people in front of the building. "One, two, three … That's not right. Why are there three people besides Xiao Jiu? Also, Xiao Jiu seems to be carrying something in her hand … "Marcie tilted her head in confusion.
"Even though there's only one person, what's in her hand?" Even though she was facing three people, Lin Sanjiu did not seem nervous at all. When she saw Marcie from afar, she even turned around and waved at Marcie. "Marcie, you are here? Come over here! "
Marcie stopped beside Lin Sanjiu, her mind full of questions.
She looked at the three people opposite Lin Sanjiu. She had met the girl with the ponytail and the seductive woman before. They were Xu Xiaoyang and Xiao Hui. The other person was a middle-aged woman wearing a white blouse. She had short hair and looked unfamiliar. Marcie had never seen her before.
After thinking for a while, Marcie decided to ask the question she was most concerned about, "Where did you catch the rabbit? Is it edible?"
She couldn't be blamed. She hadn't eaten meat for 28 months.
"I'm not food! You stupid woman! " Even though his ear was still in someone else's hand, B.Rabbit, who felt that he had an ally, regained his wild tone, "Don't look at me. Get lost!"
"What's going on?" It was Marcie's first time seeing a talking rabbit. She asked, dumbfounded. Suddenly, she remembered that there were people standing beside her, "Also, who are they?"
As they spoke, Hu Changzai ran over, panting. Lin Sanjiu didn't answer him. Instead, she asked with a serious expression, "Is everyone okay? How are the other three cadres? "
When she asked that question, the people opposite her pricked up their ears.
"Other than Hai Tianqing, the other two are dead." Marcie raised her chin and looked at the three unknown people from the corner of her eyes. When she saw that their expressions had changed, she added in a low voice, "Fang Dan's injuries are quite serious. She is recuperating with Hai Tianqing now."
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was stunned, Hu Changzai quickly interrupted, "I will explain later … Oh right, what about you, Xiao Jiu? Aren't there two other cadres? "
"Yeah, this is one of them —" Lin Sanjiu raised her arm and waved the rabbit in her hand, "Come, let's say hello."
The rabbit remained silent with a gloomy face.
"So, the legendary Officer Rabbit is really a rabbit?" Hu Changzai exclaimed.
"There is one more. He is unconscious at the back," Lin Sanjiu shrugged when she saw that the two of them had their mouths wide open.
Before Marcie and Hu Changzai could react, Xu Xiaoyang sighed in disbelief, "There are only a few of you. Some of you haven't even enhanced your physique. I really don't understand how you guys managed to defeat the cadres."
"Oh, by the way," Xu Xiaoyang's words seemed to have reminded Lin Sanjiu. She raised her chin and said, "Captain Xu said that she has a request. Since you guys are here, why don't you listen to her request? "
When Xu Xiaoyang heard that, she lowered her eyelids. Her expression was gloomy. She didn't look like a child at all. She looked at the middle-aged woman beside her and tugged on the woman's shirt. She couldn't help but sigh softly, "I hope … you guys won't hurt my mother."
"Your mother?"
Xu Xiaoyang nodded. Her ponytail slid down to the side of her lowered face, "I am Professor Bai's daughter."
The few of them immediately turned to look at the middle-aged woman. Xu Xiaoyang's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "My mother … she is also one of the people who took the high-temperature adaptation drug. She doesn't have Potential Growth Value, so she didn't evolve into any ability. However, if you guys want to hurt her, even if I die — "
"So, she is Professor Bai?" Just when her tone became firm, Lin Sanjiu interrupted her blankly, "We actually don't know who Professor Bai is … If you didn't tell us just now, I was going to let her go."
Xu Xiaoyang quickly raised her head. Her face was frozen with a regretful expression.
"Since I know, I can't let her go so easily. At least, I can't let her go before I get to the bottom of this. " Lin Sanjiu nodded at her apologetically. Then, she turned and asked, "Why do you keep duoluozhong?"
Xu Xiaoyang's body trembled. She couldn't help but speak. However, Professor Bai suddenly patted her daughter's shoulder and stopped her from speaking.
B.Rabbit was stunned for a moment. Then, he sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about —"
"When I walked this path, I knew that I had to walk it alone," the middle-aged woman's voice interrupted him. B.Rabbit looked at her blankly.
Professor Bai looked in the direction of the Oasis dormitory building. After looking for a while, she said softly, "Yesterday, a few kids who are about the same age as Xu Xiaoyang entered the greenhouse for the first time."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She didn't know what Professor Bai meant.
"They are about to learn about biology, so they were led by their teacher to plant some radishes in the greenhouse. Tomorrow, next week … They just have to wait for a while, and the radishes will gradually grow up … just like these kids. "
Professor Bai turned her eyes away and smiled gently. A few wrinkles drooped down from the corner of her mouth.
"There are currently 1,600 people living in the five buildings over there. There are men and women, and most of them are young adults. There are still countless tomorrows that belong to them … The Oasis is a model for the reconstruction of human society, and they are the seeds for the continuation of humanity. "
After taking a deep breath, a gentle smile appeared on Professor Bai's face. "In order to preserve these seeds and to allow humanity to continue to reproduce, I have no complaints even if I have to walk in the dark forever."
Hu Changzai was stunned. He nodded to his companions and whispered, "Everything she said came from the bottom of her heart."
"What … does this have to do with the duoluozhong?"
Professor Bai looked at them, "What if I said that the Oasis can reach its current scale because of the duoluozhong?"
The three people and B.Rabbit were shocked. They looked at her speechlessly.
"Why would people evolve? This has been bothering me for a long time. Is it because evolved people are better than ordinary people and deserve to live? But that is not the case … You are just a small part of the mutation. The ones who really need to reproduce are the 1,600 ordinary people over there. What I have done is to sacrifice a small part to save the majority. "
Xu Xiaoyang pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"It is shameful to say this, but most of the technology that saved the people of the Oasis did not come from me. A duoluozhong gave me the technology to grow crops that could withstand high temperatures, gave me the medicine to adapt to high temperatures, and gave me the method to collect water … What he and his companions needed were some naturally evolved people. "
"Obviously, the duoluozhong also need to evolve … And the way they evolve is by feeding on posthumans."
Her tone was still gentle, and the smile on her face still carried a hint of gentle helplessness. However, her eyes were glowing with a light that was getting brighter and brighter, almost as if she was crazy.
After some time, someone finally spoke.
"In other words, you used the living conditions of the 'Oasis' as bait to lure countless natural posthumans over. Then, just like how you treated us, you sent them to die in the mouth of the duoluozhong?" Lin Sanjiu's voice was very low.
"Officer Chen has always been the one to handle the specific matters in this area. So, you guys have already gone on such a mission …" Professor Bai nodded and looked at them sincerely, "On behalf of the people of the Oasis, I thank every single natural posthuman for their sacrifice."
Lin Sanjiu, who had her head lowered all this while, suddenly roared, "You idiot woman!" Then, she clenched her fist and pounced on Professor Bai.
At the same time, Fang Dan, who was lying beside Hai Tianqing, suddenly moved. She seemed to have heard a voice. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person who walked out of the night. She smiled, "It's you. I knew that you would be fine. Is everything going well? "
