[Sorry for updating so late, it will be ready soon, give me 20 minutes]
In the darkness in the distance, there was a shadow like a small hill, moving towards her direction bit by bit at an extremely slow speed. Mather immediately stopped her feet in alarm.
Although the shadow was huge, its speed was too slow - she put down the first aid kit and waited for several minutes with her arms folded before the huge shadow gradually approached and revealed its original appearance in front of her eyes.
Seeing it clearly, Mercer suddenly raised an eyebrow: "...What are you doing?"
The person who came was none other than Hu Changzai.
There was a rope on his shoulder that he found somewhere, and the other end of the rope was tied to the unconscious Hai Tianqing, who was pulling him forward step by step - this scene was like a chicken pulling a camel.
As if, Hu Changzai was so tired that he was panting like an ox and his eyes bulged out: "Huh, ha... help, help..."
When he raised his head, he was dumbfounded: "Mother, how did you end up like this?"
There was almost no good spot on Mather's body. It was either bandages or potions. She couldn't even see the original color of her skin. She sighed helplessly: "There were too many wounds just now, so I went to the infirmary to deal with them first."
, I took some things that I thought might be useful. Don’t worry, they are all flesh wounds... But you, Chen Jinfeng, was killed by me, but what do you mean by dragging your opponent away? "
As soon as Hu Changzai's eyes fell on the first aid kit, he lay down on the ground with a thud and waved his hands feebly: "First, treat his injuries first... He has a common enemy with us... Specifically, specifically,
Wait until I catch my breath and catch my breath again..."
Now that he said that, Mather took out the alcohol and needle and thread, and briefly treated Hai Tianqing's wound. After everything was done, she gave medicine again, and she wiped the blood on her hand with a cotton cloth mockingly: "
Since coming to the oasis, I have almost become a surgeon...Okay, let him sleep here, and he will have to handle the rest by himself."
Anyway, with Hai Tianqing's physique, it would be difficult to move anywhere - Hu Changzai nodded, when suddenly there were a few coughs in the distance, and then someone asked in a low voice: "...is it Mather?"
The two of them looked up and saw a person staggering out of the night, it was Fang Dan.
Fang Dan's skin was covered with large bruises, and there were no wounds. But her expression was extremely bad: "That's great, I found you all -" Before she could finish her words, her body was about to slide down.
.
Hu Changzai caught her with his hands quickly, and Mather quickly came over to check her, and then was surprised: "You have at least three broken ribs! How can you still walk around? It's too dangerous... your
Where is the opponent?"
Fang Dan forced out a weak and proud smile: "I am still alive, of course he is dead."
After saying that, she turned her eyes and landed on Hai Tianqing beside her. She was startled at that time: "Ah! What's going on!"
Hu Changzai hurriedly explained to her, and Fang Dan closed his mouth in doubt. Mather did some more emergency treatment for her. Seeing that her condition was not suitable for walking anymore, the two simply supported her and slowly walked between the sea and the sky.
Qing lay down next to him.
"Let's go check on Xiaojiu and come back to find you right away. Although there is no one outside, you should hide next to Hai Gan..." Mather said softly.
Fang Dan nodded, leaning on Hai Tianqing's arm, which was as thick as a small tree trunk, and his expression gradually relaxed.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes, the two of them did not dare to delay any longer, and rushed towards the cadre building.
"...I can't tell that Fang Dan is also very powerful! What kind of ability does she have?" Hu Chang asked while barely catching up with Mather's speed.
Mather paused and looked back at him in surprise: "I don't know. You two have been in the oasis for so long, I thought you knew..."
Hu Changzai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart - when Fang Dan got better, there would be plenty of opportunities to ask.
After running like this for less than a minute, the Cadre Building was already in sight. The smoke and dust stirred up by the two running all the way had already attracted the attention of several people in front of the building - "One, two, three...that's not right.
Why are there three people here besides Xiaojiu? And Xiaojiu seems to be carrying something in his hand..." Mather tilted her head in confusion.
Although she was alone - what was in her hand? - facing three people, Lin Sanjiu didn't look nervous at all; she saw Mather's figure from a distance, and even turned her head and waved at her
He waved his hand and shouted: "Mother, are you here? Come here!"
Along with the dust and smoke, Mather stopped beside her full of doubts.
She looked at the three people opposite Lin Sanjiu. Among them, the little girl with braids and the enchanting woman she had met before were none other than Xu Xiaoyang and Xiao Hui. The other was a middle-aged woman wearing a white coat with a long hair.
She had short hair and looked very unfamiliar. She had never seen him before.
After thinking about it, Mather asked the question she was most concerned about: "...Where was the rabbit caught? Can it be eaten?"
Can't blame her, she hasn't eaten meat for 28 months.
"I'm not food! You stupid woman!" Even though his ears were still in someone else's hands, the brown rabbit felt that its allies had arrived and resumed its rough tone: "Don't look at me, get away!"
"What...is going on?" Mather asked dumbfoundedly when she saw the talking rabbit for the first time. Suddenly she remembered that there were people standing beside her: "Who are they?"
While she was talking, Hu Changzai ran closer out of breath - Lin Sanjiu didn't answer her, and asked with a bit of solemnity in his expression: "Is everyone okay? What about the other three cadres?
How are you doing?"
As soon as he asked this question, several people on the opposite side also pricked up their ears.
"Except for Hai Tianqing, the other two are dead." Mather raised her chin and glanced at the three people on the opposite side with unknown intentions. Seeing that their expressions changed, she added in a low voice: "
Fang Dan was seriously injured and is currently recovering from his injuries with Hai Tianqing."
Seeing Lin Sanjiu's stunned look, Hu Changzai hurriedly interrupted: "I'll explain this later... By the way, Xiaojiu, where are you? Aren't there two more cadres?"
"Well, this is one of them -" Lin Sanjiu raised her arm and shook the rabbit in her hand: "Here, say hello."
The rabbit looked gloomy and remained silent.
"So the legendary rabbit cadre is really a rabbit?" Hu Changzai exclaimed.
"There's another one, but I don't know what's going on behind the scenes." Seeing the two of them with their mouths open, Lin Sanjiu shrugged.
Before the two Mathers could react, Xu Xiaoyang lamented in disbelief: "You are so small in number, and some of you haven't even strengthened your physical fitness. I really don't understand how you defeated the cadres?"
"Oh, by the way," she seemed to have finally reminded Lin Sanjiu of these words. She raised her chin and said, "Captain Xu just said that she had a request, and she still had time to say it. Since you are here too, let's listen together.
Listen."
After hearing this, Xu Xiaoyang lowered her eyelids with a gloomy expression. She didn't look like a child at all now. Her eyes turned to the middle-aged woman next to her, and she reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes. She couldn't help but
He sighed lowly and said, "I hope... you won't hurt my mother."
"your mom--?"
Xu Xiaoyang nodded, and her braid slid to the side of her drooping face: "I am Professor Bai's daughter."
The eyes of several people immediately focused on the middle-aged woman. Xu Xiaoyang's voice was almost inaudible: "My mother... is also a member of the group who has taken high temperature adaptation medicine. She has no potential, so she has not evolved.
Any ability. But if you want to hurt her, I will die——"
"So she is Professor Bai?" Just as her tone became firm, she was interrupted by Lin Sanjiu, "We actually don't know who Professor Bai is... If you hadn't told her just now, I would have let her
Coming."
Xu Xiaoyang quickly raised his head, his features frozen with a regretful expression.
"Now that I know, I can't let her go easily. At least not until I ask her questions clearly." Lin Sanjiu nodded to her apologetically, then turned around and asked: "...Why do you support depravity?
kind?"
Xu Xiaoyang trembled and couldn't help but want to speak. Professor Bai suddenly patted his daughter's shoulder gently and stopped her from talking.
The brown rabbit in her hand was stunned, and then she sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about-"
"...When I walked on this road, I knew I had to walk alone." The voice of the middle-aged woman opposite interrupted, and the brown-haired rabbit looked over stupidly.
Professor Bai cast his gaze in the direction of the Oasis dormitory building. After looking at it for a long time, he spoke softly: "...Yesterday, several children about the same age as Xiaoyang entered the greenhouse for the first time."
Lin Sanjiu was startled, not knowing what she meant.
"They are about to learn biology knowledge, so they were led by the teacher and planted some radishes in the greenhouse. Tomorrow, next week... they will wait for a while, and these radishes will gradually grow... just like these children.
."
Professor Bai turned his eyes and smiled softly, with a few lines hanging down deeply around his mouth.
"There are 1,600 people living in the five buildings over there. They are both men and women, most of them are young adults. There are countless tomorrows that belong to them... The oasis is a model for rebuilding post-human society.
, and they are the fire that continues humanity.”
Taking a deep breath, a gentle smile appeared on Professor Bai's face. "In order to preserve these fires and to allow human beings to continue to reproduce, even if I can only walk in darkness forever, I have no complaints.
"
Hu Changzai was stunned, nodded to his companions, and whispered: "Everything she said came from the bottom of her heart."
"What does this... have to do with the fallen species?"
Professor Bai's eyes turned around on them: "What if I said that the reason why the oasis is what it is today is all because of the fallen species?"
The three people and one rabbit opposite were all shocked and looked at her speechless.
"Why do some people evolve? This has troubled me for a long time. Are those who have evolved better than ordinary people and should survive? But this is not the case... You are just a small part of the mutation. What really needs to be reproduced is
There are 1,600 ordinary people over there. And what I did was to sacrifice a small part and save the majority."
Xu Xiaoyang pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head.
"I feel ashamed to say it, but most of the technologies that saved the people in the oasis actually did not come from me. A fallen species gave me the technology to resist high-temperature crops, gave me high-temperature adaptation medicine, and gave me the method of collecting water.
...And all he and his companions need are some naturally evolved humans."
"Obviously, the fallen species also need to evolve... and the way they evolve is to suck evolved humans."
Her tone was still soft, and the smile at the corner of her mouth still contained a bit of gentle helplessness; however, her eyes were lighting up with an increasingly powerful, almost crazy light.
It took a long while before someone spoke.
"...In other words, you used the living conditions of the 'Oasis' as bait to attract countless natural evolvers, and then just like you did to us then, you told them to die at the mouth of the fallen species?" Lin Sanjiu
The voice was very deep.
"The specific matters in this area have always been arranged by Cadre Chen. It turns out that you have already sent out such a mission once..." Professor Bai nodded, looked at them and said sincerely: "On behalf of the Oasis compatriots, I would like to thank everyone.
The sacrifice of a naturally evolved man.”
Lin Sanjiu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly burst out with an angry shout: "You idiot woman——!" Then she clenched a fist and rushed forward.
——At the same time, Fang Dan, who was lying next to Hai Tianqing, suddenly moved. She seemed to hear something. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person walking out of the night. She smiled: "
...It's you. I knew you would be fine. Is everything going well?"
