My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 292 The Dead, the Truth Behind the Scheme (Fourth Update)

The basis for the orange cat's leap of fate is... someone must call her name, and at the same time, there needs to be some connection, for example, Chu Zhu was on the phone with the Pope at the time, so the orange cat could leap over!

In other words, is it possible to prove that if no one calls her name, she actually cannot pinpoint a specific location and jump there...?

"After all, when the fifth jump happened... she seemed to say something like, 'If Zhang Hai hadn't thought of him...'" Chu Zhu frowned, but the fifth was her incarnation... that connection should be enough for her to jump over?

Or perhaps, that cat's nature was simply so cold-hearted...

Shaking her head, Chu Zhu cleared her mind of these chaotic thoughts. After all, thinking about it now wasn't very meaningful. In any case, it was ultimately a good thing that the cat didn't come… Perhaps, in her eyes, Fifth's death was like a game character dying in a game… something she could care about, or something she could not!

Hmm, considering the rarity of Fate's Divine Power... it might be a limited edition game character? Wow... doesn't that matter?
Chu Zhu clicked his tongue, the more he thought about it, the less he understood. Then, he stood up, quietly looked into the distance, at the place where Chu Zhu and Fifth had perished together, and slowly closed his eyes.

The deceased "Chu Zhu"...

It's Guan Fei.

Chu Zhu used the Copying technique to give Guan Fei his own appearance, and in the minutes before they were about to leave the nuclear facility, she used the Divine Power of Destiny to forcibly exchange her fate with Guan Fei's.

The fifth observation of Chu Zhu seems to be based on the twisted fate... Moreover, this twisted fate can even be superimposed on the twisted fate of the antimatter bomb.

Therefore, after Guan Fei's fate was twisted by Chu Zhu, just like in the previous timeline, Fifth was directly trapped! He didn't have the slightest doubt... and even when he was escaping, he held on tightly to Chu Zhu.

And then, just like that, he died cleanly and decisively...

They were completely outmaneuvered.

His death was so casual, so insignificant.

The matter was over, but Chu Zhu felt no joy.

His eyes were slightly closed, as if he had returned to the special operations brigade office...

……

"I'll do it..." The first person to express his willingness to sacrifice himself was... Li Kang.

Chu Zhu wasn't surprised, or rather, when he made the suggestion, he had already guessed who would be the first to step forward... After all, Li Kang had been saying that his contamination was already severe enough, that he was about to die, and that he hoped to die on the battlefield...

however……

“I’ll take it.” Guan Fei stood up calmly. Li Kang was clearly surprised and argued fiercely with him, but Guan Fei simply shut him down with one sentence: “Captain, you still have a wife and a daughter, don’t you…”

Li Kang was speechless.

“But I have nothing left!” Guan Fei said with such honesty and relief, “If I die, no one will grieve for me… No, Mr. Zhu, no… Can I call you A-Zhu now?”

Chu Zhu still remembers her answer at the time: "Can't you always call me A Zhu? And I remember you said before... that you actually have relatives..."

"I was just kidding. I was just trying to fool myself. Actually, there are still people waiting for me at home. After all, I'm the only orphan in the team... Actually, I really fooled myself before, because I used to have those things... But in the end, now, it's not there, hahaha, a bit ridiculous, right... As for calling you Azhu before, it's different," Guan Fei shook his head frankly, "In that situation, I was mostly just following the crowd. When we were alone... I wouldn't dare call you that! Even though I knew you didn't really care..."

“Ah Zhu, I’m touched to see you so sad for me! But it’s nothing… Just like the slogan you mentioned in the shantytown redevelopment union: everything is for the benefit of the people! Although I haven’t actually said it much… I firmly believe in this!” Guan Fei paused briefly before saying goodbye to the others.

"Alright, no need to say anything more, Bixuan, stop making that face! Separation and death are normal... just look at my physique! My pollution level isn't any lower than the captain's... that's enough... just look at my past binge eating!"

"And... Vice Captain Ning, the captain's position... I won't argue with you about it! I wish you a happy new appointment. Ah, Captain, I don't mean to curse you to die young... but, under your leadership, it seems I should be able to achieve great merit... Afterwards, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get a promotion, right?"

Huo Qiming immediately made a promise: "Don't worry!" Although he didn't specify what kind of promotion he would receive... but given Huo Qiming's personality, the fact that he could say it like that meant he had already made up his mind.

Finally, Guan Fei spoke to Chu Zhu again: "A Zhu, the moment I joined the special forces, I was prepared to die! My only request is... to make my death as meaningful as possible."

"...Don't worry, you saved the entire shantytown redevelopment area!" It wasn't until that moment, looking at Guan Fei's shining eyes and the uncontrollable upward curve of his lips... that Chu Zhu realized Guan Fei actually harbored deep self-destructive tendencies and a sense of inferiority in his presence... Perhaps Guan Fei also had some mental issues. A normal person wouldn't fantasize that their deceased relatives were still waiting for them at home, let alone actually believe it...

In that situation... he had no choice but to agree and give the other person a deep hug.

Any attempt to dissuade someone is essentially hypocritical! Chu Zhu, who demands the selection of a self-sacrificing individual, has no right to dissuade someone who voluntarily steps forward from dying... That would only make Chu Zhu feel utterly ridiculous!

In that situation, all he could do was respect the other person's decision, keep them firmly in his heart, and ask if they had any last wishes.
however……

"Last wish? No way... I spent all my salary on food! I even took out a huge loan... If I die, I shouldn't have to pay compensation, right?"

"That's settled then! I feel like I actually made a profit... Oh, and please, don't pay off my debts... I won't be able to die in peace if I do that!"

……

Chu Zhu took a deep breath, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and gazed at the sky.

The sun hangs high in the sky, radiating light and heat, as if it will always be there no matter how this land changes.

"The Commandery, the Great Qian Dynasty... sigh!"

Chu Zhu's expression was complicated.

If Guan Fei is included, Chu Zhu suddenly realized... the vast majority of all the superhumans he knew, those who joined the government, and those born in the shantytown redevelopment area, were orphans without any relatives or friends...

Or perhaps, when making selections, the authorities tend to choose this type of person?
It seems that all their worldly ties have been severed, making them wholeheartedly loyal to the authorities...

Chu Zhu pondered. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that the mortality rate in the Commandery was too high, so the Great Qian government recruited people without relatives or friends, so that even if they died, they wouldn't have to pay high compensation or a series of subsequent benefits for their relatives…

That's why I did it on purpose...

"Thinking about it this way, it does seem very similar to deliberately selected consumables that are 'cheap' from the Empire's perspective... Guan Fei may have realized this from the beginning... so..."

Patting her cheeks, Chu Zhu suddenly felt a little listless.

He slowly turned around, boarded the maglev car not far away, and pressed hard on the accelerator. It soared into the air...

At first, Chu Zhu was actually thinking about whether to go into the nuclear facility afterward to see the two-headed scaled man and check on his condition after the fifth man's death...

But, inexplicably, he doesn't want to go today!
So be it.

Other things... we'll talk about them tomorrow.

Of course, if they did something to detonate the nuclear facilities during the National Day holiday... that doesn't matter, we can just reset it again.

Chu Zhu calmly drove towards the city. Since she had already completed the game once, completing it again would only make her more skilled...

That way, I could even see Guan Fei one more time.

Although Chu Zhu knew very well in her heart that this actually meant nothing...
