abyss rose

Chai Yuening has always known that most people in this world are selfish.

She will not be surprised by anyone making any decision.

What surprised her was that one thing alone.

A sample that has never been treated kindly by humans, after learning how to choose, lost the once-in-a-lifetime selfishness for the bleak hope in the eyes of humans.

The numbers are arranged in order, and the sample of Floating City A0027 should be one of the earliest samples at the beginning of the human experiment.

Fusion experiments with unknown frequency, routine blood draws once a month, glass water tanks in the laboratory, professional combat training... all belong to her special sample in the 50 years after she successfully survived the test bench. all.

It seems that Chu Ci has never lived like a human since the moment he successfully merged with Hei Teng.

No one would treat her as a human being.

How old should she be in the year she became a test subject?

At the age when she voluntarily devoted herself to science, she has been plagued by illnesses, did she understand the world?

Maybe not.

should not.

Her understanding of this world, except for the beasts and battles, is like a teenage child.

I don't understand people's hearts, and I don't understand what happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are.

She is still learning about the world.

She has not had time to know the world.

Chai Yuening thinks that humans should not want samples to have ordinary people's thoughts, which will become uncontrollable.

Perhaps only when human beings really find the secret of fusion evolution from her, and most people become like her, can she find her freedom.

In fact, for a moment, she really had an impulse in her heart.

It was a voice, yelling at her, yelling frantically.

—Can't you take her away?

—Are you going to watch her go back to that kind of place?

But she can't.

Her identity, her status, and her abilities are far from enough to keep such an existence, destined to be valued by all human beings, by her side.

Unless, she dropped everything, desperately, accompanied her to leave the human base, and accompanied her to wander on the ground.

The thought at that moment was too crazy, so crazy that she didn't know herself.

She shouldn't be like this, she shouldn't want to abandon everything and escape with human hope for the pity and guilt in her heart.

She has no position to do so. She and Chu Ci are friends, comrades-in-arms, and two people who can give their lives.

But not someone who can make any choice for the other party.

"You want me..." Chai Yuening unconsciously lowered her voice, "Shall I give you a ride?"

"Can you?" Chu Ci asked softly.

"Of course." Chai Yuening nodded.

Chu Ci looked up at Chai Yuening, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"That's all right, you take me back."

"Ah."

Chai Yuening responded softly, and wanted to say something, but was frightened by a head protruding from the corridor above and quickly stopped talking.

Lu Qi turned his head down and shouted: "Captain, so you guys are whispering here!"

Chai Yuening took a deep breath and said helplessly, "You also know it's a whisper?"

"I didn't hear anything!" Lu Qi said, "Have you finished whispering? Someone came from the research institute just now, and they came to find Sister Chuci."

Hearing this, Chai Yuening subconsciously looked at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci smiled: "I'll go by myself."

Chai Yuening: "I'll accompany you."

Chu Ci's tone was firm: "I'll just go by myself."

Chai Yuening couldn't help being taken aback.

Chu Ci: "Don't you have to wait for the military to notify you of the result of the application for rescue of the fifth district?"

Chai Yuening: "..."

After a brief silence, Chai Yuening nodded.

She could see that Chu Ci didn't want her to follow, and there might be some secrets between them, which was inconvenient to talk about.

Chu Ci left, and was taken to the pick-up vehicle by the people from the base research institute.

When Youlan heard the news, she rushed to the hospital with a pot of hot porridge, murmured the names of various gods, and finally said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are all still alive."

After finishing a bowl of hot porridge, Chai Yuening sat at the door of Lao Xiang's hospital bed, staring at the pocket watch in his hand, in a daze.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the communicator in her hand rang.

"The military in the main city called the No.13 mercenary team, and we have contacted the fifth district of the outer city."

"I'm here!" Chai Yuening stood up instantly.

"According to the current rescue progress, the military expects to successfully rescue District 31 at [-] pm. At that time, the rescue team can lower the wall and go to District [-]. There are still [-] survivors waiting for rescue in District [-], and they are now sticking to the college building On the top floor, rescue is more difficult, are you willing to go with the military?"

"We do!"

Reinforcements from the floating city arrived, and the signal tower on the ground was recovered.

The dungeon base, whose communications had been restored, was finally no longer blinded.

With the cooperation of the Floating Void City, the military of the base divided into three groups and quickly launched a precise rescue plan for the survivors of the outer city, only to rescue the most survivors in the shortest possible time.

The military team who came to meet him did not want to bring the handicapped honeysuckle, so the worried disabled girl could only stay in the hospital with Youlan to take care of the old Xiang in the ward.

After arriving in District [-], Chai Yuening and Lu Qi quickly joined the rescue team.

Thousands of survivors stood firm on the top floor of the medical center. When the rescuers arrived, they picked up everything that could be used as weapons and entered the battle preparations.

The entire rescue took nearly two and a half hours. More than 1000 survivors squeezed into military armored vehicles one after another in the hail of bullets. They were transferred to the second district while doing infection monitoring.

In such a chaotic scene, with so many people running past the strange beast, it was impossible for none of them to be infected.

No one can tell how many of those survivors will reach the second area alive in the end, but at least... when they were still human, the base did not abandon them.

Everything was as originally expected. The rescue team shot down the alien beasts chasing behind them, lowered the four-district wall, and rushed towards the most dangerous fifth district.

The lead officer's communicator kept ringing.

"ZA3199, thirteen infected persons were detected."

"Hard work, please kill."

"ZA5012, seven infected persons were detected."

"Well, please kill."

"ZA1663, the infected person was detected..."

"Please kill."

……

Gunshots rang out of their hearing.

Some live and some die.

Perhaps, except for the second district, which is still safe, and the ninth district, which was first rescued, every outer city has become a purgatory on earth under this disaster.

Chai Yuening couldn't imagine how many people died in the base.

She only heard Lu Qi muttering softly in her ear: "I heard that District [-] and District [-] are already the two districts with the most survivors, and the survivors in the eight outer districts may only need two residential districts to cover all of them." Settle down."

Chai Yuening couldn't help asking softly. "Will the outer city be recovered after the rescue is over?"

The officer who was disturbed by the communication was silent for a while, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, in another ten or twenty years, the outer city will be lively again."

In the long tunnel to Sector Five, the leading officer has been in touch with other rescue teams.

The three rescue teams exchanged their positions and current situations at any time, for fear that something might go wrong on one side and it would be too late to provide timely support.

Because of this, an extremely familiar voice came from the communicator of the leading officer from time to time.

He said: "The rescue in District 740 went smoothly. After killing all the infected people, [-] people survived."

He said: "The main city has not been able to get in touch with the sixth district."

He said: "If there are new samples, catch a few for the doctor. It's too dangerous. Keeping yourself safe is everyone's top priority."

Lu Qi didn't like hearing that person's voice, he shrank in the back of the car, silent as if he had changed, his eyes were filled with displeasure.

Occasionally, in the tunnel, three or two strange beasts would be encountered, whose appearances were so strange that they had completely surpassed human cognition.

Chai Yuening could no longer describe the appearance of these things.

The fifth district was the first place to fall, and the strange beasts here had the longest eating time.

Whether it was the fusion evolution that devoured human beings, or the fusion mutation that was infected, they all lost their original appearance in so many days.

Fortunately, they don't have to fight this group of things head-on for the time being. They just need to go to the place where the distress signal is sent to the military and rescue the only 31 survivors inside.

Along the way, Chai Yuening's heart was always restless.

She wanted to go to that place right away to see if her teammates were still alive.

But she was afraid that among the 31 people, there was no figure belonging to Du Xia.

This anxiety lasted for a long time.

Until they rushed to a dark rescue place, until there was a sound of distress in the building.

Until she followed the rescuers all the way to the top of the building, kicked open the door, and saw more than [-] children, several teachers, a white-haired woman, and a woman holding a long stick inside.

A kitchen knife was tightly tied to the long stick, the blade was curled, and it was stained with blood.

In the corner of the frighteningly dark room, dry food that I did not know where was piled up.

In the past few days, a female mercenary stayed in this blood-soaked outer city academy, protecting a group of teenagers.

Under the light of the flashlight, Du Xia looked at Chai Yuening and smiled with relief.

The face was so familiar that it made me want to cry.

On the return journey, the rescue officer sent a communication to the outside world.

"The third rescue team successfully rescued District 31, [-] people survived, and zero infection. Three members of the team were injured, three were infected, and have now been killed. The degree of biological mutation in District [-] far exceeds that in District [-], and it is difficult to capture living bodies. Now collect dead samples Five cases, the rescue team decided to evacuate immediately."

"Received by the First Rescue Team."

"Received by the second rescue team."

How lucky that the self-destruction system in the outer city did not turn these people who were waiting for rescue into dust.

Almost, she would never see this teammate next to her again.

All of this, all because of one person.

Chai Yuening was depressed for a long time, and couldn't help but said softly: "Du Xia, after the base is safe, I'm going to Floating Void City to send someone off."

Du Xia: "Chu Ci?"

Chai Yuening: "She's going back."

Du Xia: "..."

Chai Yuening: "I'm a bit reluctant."

Du Xia: "Leave her, if you ask, she will stay."

"No, she has chosen..."

Chai Yuening bit her lower lip, her eyes were a little lost.

Lu Qi poked his head over: "Captain, why are you so sad as if you've lost your love?"

Chai Yuening: "Stop giving me nonsense!"

Du Xia: "It's really like falling out of love."

Chai Yuening: "..."

Well, I can't talk at all today.
