In the darkness in the distance, 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 pulling Hu Changzai forward step by step. It looked like a chick pulling a camel. Hu Changzai was so tired that he was gasping for air, and his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. "Huff … 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 do you mean by that? "
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 further. 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 staggering 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's hands moved quickly to support her. Marcie quickly came over to examine 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 Fang Dan heaved a sigh of relief. 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. Then I'll come right back for you. Although there's no one outside, you should hide behind 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 struggled to keep up with Marcie's speed as he panted and asked.
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. 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 that was stirred up by their running 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 here other than Xiao Jiu? And Xiao Jiu seems to be carrying something in her hand … "Marcie tilted her head in confusion.
Although he was alone (what was that in his hand?) Even though she was facing three people, Lin Sanjiu didn't seem nervous at all. She saw Marcie's figure from afar. She even turned around leisurely and waved at Marcie. "Marcie, you're here? Come here! "
Along with the dust, Marcie stopped beside her, full of questions.
She looked at the three people opposite Lin Sanjiu. She recognized two of them. It was Xu Xiaoyang and Xiao Hui. The other one was a middle-aged woman wearing a white gown. She had short hair and looked unfamiliar. She had never seen her before. After thinking for a while, Marcie decided to ask the question that 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 f * cker! " Even though his ear was still in someone else's hand, the brown-haired rabbit felt that his ally had arrived. He resumed his rough tone, "Don't look at me, get away from me!"
"What's going on?" It was Marcie's first time seeing a talking rabbit. She was dumbfounded. Suddenly, she remembered that there was someone standing beside her, "And who are those people opposite us?"
While they were talking, Hu Changzai ran over, panting. Lin Sanjiu didn't answer him. Instead, she asked with a serious expression, "Is everyone alright? 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. When she saw that their expressions had changed, she added in a low voice, "Fang Dan was injured quite badly. She is now recuperating with Hai Tianqing."
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? "
"Yes, this is —" Lin Sanjiu raised her arm and waved the rabbit in her hand, "Come, let's say hello."
B.Rabbit remained silent with a gloomy face.
"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 just said that she has a request. She still has time to say it. Since you guys are here, let's hear it together. "
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 at the corner of 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 looked at the middle-aged woman. It was Xu Xiaoyang's voice. Her voice was almost inaudible, "My mother … is also one of the people who took the High Temperature Adaptation Pill. She doesn't have Potential Growth Value, so she didn't evolve any abilities. 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.
"Now that I know, I can't let her go so easily. At least not before we get to the bottom of this. " Lin Sanjiu nodded apologetically. Then, she turned around and asked, "Why do you keep duoluozhong?"
Xu Xiaoyang's body trembled. She couldn't help but speak. However, Professor Bai patted her daughter's shoulder gently and stopped her from speaking.
B.Rabbit was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about —"
"I don't need your forgiveness," the middle-aged woman's voice interrupted him. B.Rabbit looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.
She then cast her gaze in the direction of the oasis dormitory. After looking for a while, she said softly, "You won't understand what I'm doing … Look, there are 1,600 people living in the five buildings over there. There are men and women, and most of them are young and strong. There are countless tomorrows that belong to them … Oasis is a model for the reconstruction of human society, and they are the tinder for the continuation of mankind. "
After taking a deep breath, a satisfied smile appeared on Professor Bai's face. "In order to preserve these tinder, so that mankind can continue to reproduce, I have no regrets. Even if I have to dirty my hands, I will not regret it. "
Hu Changzai was stunned for a moment. He nodded to his companions beside him and whispered, "Everything she said came from the bottom of her heart."
"What … does this have to do with duoluozhong?"
Professor Bai's gaze swept across them, "What if I told you that the reason why Oasis could reach its current scale is because of duoluozhong?"
The three people and B.Rabbit were shocked. They looked at her, speechless.
"You guys think that you are superior to ordinary people just because you evolved. But that is not the case … You guys are just a small part of the mutated population. The ones who really need to reproduce are the 1,600 ordinary people over there. What I did was to sacrifice a small part of the population to save the majority. "
"It is shameful to say this, but most of the technology that saved the people of Oasis did not come from me. A duoluozhong gave me the technology to grow crops that could withstand high temperatures, gave me high-temperature adaptation pills, and gave me the method to collect water … All he and his companions needed were naturally evolved humans. "
"Obviously, duoluozhong also need to evolve … And the way they evolve is by feeding on posthumans."
Even though her tone was still gentle, and even though her eyes were still full of emotion when she looked at Oasis, the atmosphere in the room was gradually infected by something called "madness".
After a long time, someone finally spoke.
"In other words, you used the living conditions of '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 our people in Oasis, I thank every single natural posthuman for sacrificing their lives."
Lin Sanjiu, who had her head lowered, suddenly roared, "You idiot —!" 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 you'd be fine. Is everything going well? "(To be continued.)
