Bug Rescue Team

The abandoned city is huge, but wherever there are many mortals, there are gangs, and there are fights and interactions between gangs... In the final analysis, this is a microcosm of a small society.

Those who yearn for freedom and defect to the abandoned city do not need to abide by the laws of the empire, but they need to abide by gang rules. Only by obeying the rules can they be protected, unless they can single-handedly fight against the criminals in the entire abandoned city.

Criminals are limited and cannot fill the once blindly expanding city. Finding a place to live in an empty city is as easy as finding a root in the forest.

Lin Shen randomly found a high-rise building with stairs to live in. His transformed body could ignore the harsh environment here.

When he climbed to a high place and looked down, he saw several ragged people not far away, working together to dig out the steel bars from the concrete and take them away. He sighed: "Without the protection of the law, these so-called criminals still have to rely on labor to make a living. As the old saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people, so it is not completely meaningless to abandon the city."

"What do you think it means?"

"Humans are social animals and need to stay in groups to survive. Wherever there are people, various rules will emerge. People long for freedom, but lack the ability to have true freedom..." Lin Shen slowly talked about these common sense topics, but He never mentioned what he saw from this common sense.

In this way, he walked around the abandoned city for two days. When you feel your body can't bear it, say: "Let's go back."

"Aren't you going to see Tang Jingning anymore?"

"It's not necessary."

"I want to go."

"Do you want to go?" Lin Shen asked again in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

"Your story is still coming to an end. I want to see the end. I want to know if he will regret it when he sees you, and if he will beg you to take him back."

"You're boring. I can tell you the ending you want now, and he won't regret it."

"why?"

Lin Shen picked up the bracelet and made a call, and soon got Tang Jingning's location.

"Let's go find him and let him tell you the answer."

Tang Jingning lives on the other side of the city, and it takes about half a day to walk there.

Lin Shen originally thought it would be dangerous to leave the gang's territory and travel alone in the city. The result was somewhat unexpected. The dangers he encountered basically had nothing to do with people, but mostly came from buildings in disrepair and animals that occasionally escaped.

"There is no vegetation here and no food is produced, so what do animals eat?"

"Eat people, eat feces, and eat insects. People can live, so how can animals die?" The words were correct, but the tone of the words was a bit wrong. Lin Shen couldn't help but said: "I feel that you are prejudiced against animals."

"not at all."

"Really, I feel it."

"You talk about feelings with artificial intelligence. Don't you think you're weird?"

"It's not strange. Strictly speaking, I'm not a normal person either."

Lin Shen's intuition was always very accurate. 1001 hesitated for a moment and said, "I only told Tong Lu about something, and he asked me to keep it secret. If I told you, it would be against the agreement between me and him. .”

"I know, you don't want to break the agreement, but you want to tell me things, right?"

"I didn't want to tell you, you asked."

"Why do you hate animals? This question has nothing to do with the agreement." Lin Shen was very good at exploiting loopholes.

"After the Empire opened the way for Mars to terraform humans, I went to Hebo Biotechnology Company for a tour and found that the success rate of their projects had improved a lot. I suspected that the data was falsified. After careful comparison, I thought the project they implemented was not Mars. It’s not about modifying people, but editing the genes of some unknown creature into the Aquamarine people.”

Lin Shen quickly guessed what the facts 1001 and Lu Tong were concealing. He said: "The unknown biological genes originated from aliens. You know that there are alien life forms on Aquamarine, but Lu Tong won't let you tell." anyone."

"I didn't say anything, you guessed it yourself."

"The genes of this alien life form are similar to the genes of animals?"

"Kind of."

"Compared with this kind of alien life form and the Fifth Yue, which one do you think is better?"

"There's not enough data for me to answer that question."

"If you were asked to protect Planet Aquamarine, could you defeat this alien life form?"

"Hebo Biotechnology is doing its best to develop modified humans. If the modified humans only take orders from Hebo Biotechnology, without using nuclear weapons, my chances of winning are very slim."

"When the sky falls, a tall man will carry it. When I realize that I might be that tall man, how should I choose?" Lin Shen said with emotion. 1001 reassured: "You will become that tall man. That's why you boarded the Pioneer back then."

Lin Shen asked, "How do you choose? When the Aquamarine people pretend to be Zerg and attack the Four-Eyed Star."

"Choose whoever is stronger."

"Have you forgiven the Queen?"

"The weak forgives the strong? Don't make fun of me."

Lin Shen: "..."

As expected of an artificial intelligence, it has no moral integrity at all and can kneel down really quickly.

When it got dark, Lin Shen found Tang Jingning. The latter no longer has to wear a suit, and his meticulous hair style is as messy as grass. He also wore a sweatshirt, but it was dirty and torn, showing that it was difficult to live in an abandoned city.

At this moment, he was carefully pouring a bottle of clean water into the pot, and then adding a bunch of noodles. As he added fuel to the fire, he watched the food in the pot boil. When he found Lin Shen, he stood up habitually and wanted to say hello to Lin Shen. After realizing that he was in the abandoned city, he calmly sat back down and asked without raising his head: "What are you doing here?"

"How are you doing?"

"You saw it all."

"Want to go back?"

"My brother lied to me. He once said that this is a paradise for creators, and he also sold me a lot of song sheets... Only when I came here did I realize that this is a hell on earth, and he had cheated me out of those song sheets..."

Tang Jingning stirred the food with chopsticks and said: "I want to go back. Because after I go back, I can eat fresh vegetables and drink as much as I want... But I won't go back. I can sleep on the bed here, not so much There are not so many intrigues and struggles.”

"Struggle?" Lin Shen was a little confused. With his back against a big tree, he can enjoy the shade. For Tang Jingning, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are that he is the only one who lurks towards others, and no one else lurks towards him. What does he need to struggle with?

"I was born in an ordinary family. I felt sad when I saw that the price of a spoonful of caviar at a dinner was enough for ordinary people to eat for three months; I saw rich people flying to the imperial capital on private planes just to have a meal with celebrities, and the imperial capital was full of people. I felt very uncomfortable when the power cuts were announced..."

"Countless nights, I wanted to follow the crowd and completely forget my conscience. Whenever the music played, I felt that this was wrong. Art comes from life. When my life was filled with wine, sex and wealth, where did the art I pursued go? , where has the music I need gone?”

"My life is very bad now. I am struggling to survive almost every day...but I can write songs. The pain and cry that burst out from the depths of my soul gave me the passion to create. The wealth that once confused me , compared with the real needs of my heart, I think this is pretty good. At least before I die, I will be a person with dreams."
