Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 Seven Days at the Beginning of Eden 01511 "This child has no blood relationship with you, why don't you let go?" His wife's words were like a magic spell.
Zhang Yenan heard this many times. As soon as he got home, the woman would discuss with him the return of the child to her mother without even talking to him for a few words.
"How many times have I said that this matter is non-negotiable! Even if there is no blood relationship! She is still my daughter! You know better than me why she is in this family!" Zhang Yenan also quarreled with his wife because of this matter.
countless times.
But the problem is that the wife does not understand Zhang Yenan. Her repetition is because her code is messed up. Her memory is like a scratched tape. It is clear that those things are there, but she can no longer sing the original song.
It has some flavor.
Chen Shuang suggested that Zhang Yanan change to an AI partner. After all, these things are not unique.
But Zhang Yenan has been unable to get out of that shadow since his real lover passed away. It was his current wife who accompanied him through countless sleepless nights. He said that it was a memory, deleted, reset, or simply
Buying another one would be a stain on it, and he even believed that human emotions could affect those codes.
This sounds ridiculous.
Zhang Yenan went out before finishing the meal. On the grass outside the door, her daughter was playing Frisbee with a pet shepherd dog.
When she saw her father, her daughter smiled sweetly at him.
There were countless times when Zhang Yenan couldn't hold on any longer, but whenever he saw this smile, he felt that he still needed to hold on.
But it’s hard to say how meaningful his persistence is...
Turning the car key, the antique fuel car roared. Zhang Yanan liked this old smell. He smiled with satisfaction, then stepped on the accelerator and followed...
"boom!"
Everything is broken.
"Hoo!" Zhang Yanan suddenly sat up and felt difficulty breathing. He could vaguely hear a voice in his ear.
"Relax and breathe normally!"
Zhang Yenan felt that his whole body was sticky, and his back was also very uncomfortable. He reached out his hand and touched a lot of rubber tube-like things. They were deeply pierced into Zhang Yenan's body. He pushed outwards with force.
Oh no, but someone stopped me.
"Don't worry! These tubes can't be pulled out yet. If you do, you'll die."
Zhang Yenan frowned and looked at the person who spoke. His vision was blurry, as if there was an extra layer of frosted glass on his retinas, and no matter how hard he wiped it, he could not clearly see the person's appearance.
Finally, the tubes were removed one by one.
Zhang Yenan felt much more comfortable. Someone came to help him, so he got up and fell into a bathtub filled with hot water. He groped and struggled, thinking he was drowning, but fortunately someone comforted him in time.
After a while, Zhang Yenan, whose vision gradually became clearer, was finally able to see the surrounding environment and people clearly.
It's as if there are hundreds of capsule-shaped active embryos inside a huge sphere, a dandelion-like device containing people, and everyone wants to give birth to a baby.
However, the people around him were all unfamiliar, and Zhang Yenan could not overlap them with the people in his memory.
"You are……"
"Captain Zhang, we are the support staff of Shelter 7. Now..."
"ah!"
A scream suddenly came.
Everyone looked around and saw a naked man stabbing a nurse in the abdomen with a dagger. Although he was immediately pushed to the ground, he kept shouting, "You bastards! I just got married."
Marriage! You didn’t even get to kiss my wife, but you ruined my sweet dream! I don’t want to live in this world! I want to go back to my dream!!!!”
Zhang Yenan was dumbfounded because he knew that man.
That was his subordinate, a middle-aged man in the prime of life.
He had just gotten married before entering Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District. Unfortunately, he and his wife were not allowed to live in the same shelter when they were transferred. He had been having troubles over this matter for a long time, and it was only recently that he got married.
I feel much more at peace.
The nurse who was stabbed turned pale. She didn't expect that she would be stabbed as soon as she revived the patient.
When Xiong Enzhi rushed over and saw this scene, she went up and kicked the man in the stomach, then cursed, "What do you do for food?! This can also make him hurt people?"
Several guards felt aggrieved, especially the soldier whose dagger was suddenly snatched away. He held down the man's arm and said in a panic, "I'm sorry...Captain, I was careless."
"A bunch of people are just eating for nothing! Take him away!"
The middle-aged man who hurt someone was taken away. The little nurse did not injure any vital parts, but she had to lie down for a week after the knife attack. Xiong Enzhi turned around and saw Zhang Yenan. She walked over and said, "Captain Zhang, right?"
Zhang Yenan nodded blankly, "Who are you?"
"I am the deputy captain of the special service team of Shelter No. 7 in Xiongan New Area. My name is Xiong Enzhi."
"Um...Captain Bear...then what's going on?"
Xiong Enzhi roughly told Zhang Yanan the whole story. When she said that Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District had been invaded, Zhang Yenan stood up in shock, "What! The shelter has been invaded?"
"
Xiong Enzhi glanced at the naked man in front of her, her pretty face flushed, and she coughed to remind Zhang Yenan that he was still naked.
Zhang Yenan immediately protected all parts of his body in embarrassment.
After changing clothes, Zhang Yanan looked at the more than a hundred blank-faced advance team members in the hall and frowned, "What time is it now?"
"It's nine o'clock in the morning on the 14th."
"Ah? It's been a month?"
"Um."
Zhang Yenan panicked and asked, "Captain Xiong, my equipment?"
"Oh, your equipment is all over there in the warehouse. Once you have rested, I will take you to pick it up." Xiong Enzhi pointed to the warehouse in the distance.
Zhang Yenan couldn't wait any longer. He said, "We can't delay it any longer, Captain Xiong. I won't say any more polite words. I have to take people back now. Can you help me gather all my men?"
?They are now...well...all mixed in the crowd, I can't tell them apart."
"Okay." Xiong Enzhi immediately ordered people to verify them one by one.
Soon, the special service team members that Zhang Yenan had brought out regrouped, but after counting the number of people, Zhang Yenan found that the number of people was much less. Everyone looked very depressed... Obviously, being trapped here during this period of time had a negative impact on the special service team members.
The mental damage is simply too severe.
In fact, that includes Zhang Yenan himself.
If he hadn't been forcibly awakened by Xiong Enzhi, he still felt like he was back in the past. Every day he would report to the ministry and train new recruits. The rest of the time he would spend time with his daughter and eat three meals a day cooked by his wife.
Such ordinary days almost made Zhang Yenan depressed before. For this reason, he went to a psychiatrist to chat with him. Unexpectedly, after the "sun disappears", such days will become longed for and out of reach.
of beauty.
But reality is reality, and dreams are dreams.
Zhang Yenan calmed down, straightened his face and said loudly, "Stand at attention!"
The special service team members who were originally lazily looking like they hadn't woken up immediately cheered up and stood in line.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yenan nodded slightly. He still trusted his subordinates. Xiong Enzhi's eyes lit up, and he was slightly surprised by the noble qualities of these soldiers.
"Take a break." Zhang Yenan said again.
The team relaxed slightly, and then Zhang Yenan said in a deep voice, "I know everyone must be feeling uncomfortable right now. After all, in the dream, we have food and drink, and we live a very comfortable life. A dream is a dream, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always be there."
I’ll wake up one day! Fortunately, we didn’t wake up too late and didn’t wake up until we were about to freeze to death.”
Everyone was silent, but their eyes were burning.
"Now, those guys who kidnapped us here have invaded our shelter again, and the situation is critical. Therefore, I can only aggrieve my brothers and gather you here before you can calm down, because we
You can wait, but the big guys in the shelter can’t wait, do you all understand what I mean?”
"clear!"
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Let's get the equipment and get ready to go!"
"Yes!" The team of sixty-seven people responded in unison.
Xiong Enzhi sighed, "I feel really embarrassed to see you guys so responsible and clean..."
Zhang Yenan asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Xiong Enzhi did not explain, she smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to Zhang Yanan and said, "Captain Zhang, the order I received this time is just to cooperate with the special service team of the first central axis to rescue you, so I can't go to the front line to help you for the time being, but
Please be assured that after the work here is over, I will immediately go back and ask my superiors for instructions to arrange more people to support Shelter No. 1."
Zhang Yenan was deeply moved when he heard this. He knew very well how much courage Xiong Enzhi's words required.
This is not as simple as regional coordination during the Taiping years... The personnel, materials, and facilities of each shelter are strictly controlled, especially armed special service personnel like Xiong Enzhi, who are responsible for more than just the safety of their own shelter.
In order to ensure the safety of the shelter, we must shoulder the important responsibility of ensuring the long-term stability of the shelter. We cannot just mobilize to support other shelters. Especially in the current environment, the elusive intruders have put everyone in the major shelters at risk. At this time,
The management must become more cold-blooded in order to fundamentally prevent possible vicious terrorist attacks in their own shelters.
Therefore, regardless of whether Xiong Enzhi could really bring people to support Shelter No. 1, Zhang Yenan felt warm in his heart. He nodded, "Thank you Captain Xiong first."
…
The door is still closed. Qin Huan, who has set up a temporary camp outside the door, has been trying to get in touch with the inside of the shelter, but the other party seems to be determined not to open the door, so Qin Huan can only wait for Zhang Yenan.
people arrive.
During this period, he also contacted the First Central Axis, hoping to get more support, but unexpectedly the answer he received was "under consideration."
Qin Huan wanted to scold her mother at that time.
This is so inefficient! Does the entire shelter have to be turned into a huge tomb for the higher-ups to realize the seriousness of the problem?
But how did he know that the first central axis was also in a state of distress at this time. But let's not mention this for now.
Natsume, who was resting in meditation, didn't wake up until noon on the 14th.
When he woke up, he sensed that Zhang Yenan's people were nearby, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned and said, "The door is open, but it may not be a good thing."
Qin Huan was confused and said, "Hey? What should I say?"
Natsume looked in the direction of the door and said, "You have delayed it for too long, and the things in the shelter have grown fat and strong... It's okay for a group of things like this to be trapped underground, but if they are released... other shelters will be very dangerous."
Already."
Qin Huan frowned, "What makes you fat and strong?"
Natsume didn't explain. He stood up and said, "That's it. After the door is opened, I will stay here. If you can win, that's the best. But if you lose, I will seal the door again."
Qin Huan was surprised and said, "Ah? Is it that serious?"
Natsume's face was gloomy. He closed his eyes, feeling the atmosphere inside the shelter, and then said to himself, "There are seven... They have absorbed enough divinity. Although they are still far from the real old gods, they are not
Mortals can deal with it...ah...they would actually choose to raise such a thing here..."
"What? What on earth are you talking about?"
Natsume opened her eyes again, and her eyes had turned blue.
His people are still where they are, but Li has already entered the depths of the shelter.
…
Residential area on the 13th floor of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New District, West District, Warehouse No. 2065.
The branches are like vines, and the beating heart in the middle is hot and red. It has integrated with the entire warehouse and continues to expand outwards. Everything it touches after the green spreads is absorbed by it.
Some eaters were pierced through the chest by green branches and leaves, and then their bodies were gradually transformed into trees.
Further down.
On the twenty-first floor of the residential area, in the center of the confluence area, Slaanesh's carnival has come to an end. Those entangled ones are merging. Each of the fused servants of Slaanesh shows a satisfied look, and their bodies seem to melt and melt.
As if it had been recast, a giant, a female giant, slowly formed in the center of the confluence area.
Continue deeper into the shelter.
In the living area on the twenty-seventh floor, the eaters are transporting all edible things to a huge warehouse.
A dark cave in the warehouse rotates slowly. It is like a living creature, devouring everything close to it, including those who eat it.
Just by staring at it, Natsume felt that all his mental energy had been drained away.
Fortunately, Natsume was alert, so he escaped and continued downward.
In the residential area on the thirty-ninth floor, here, groups of vain believers kneel on the ground. They all pray devoutly in one direction. On the high platform contaminated by milky white colloid, one is covered with skin.
The woman in pure white and black clothes lay there lazily, her eyes closed, listening to the whispers from the void.
When Natsume came to the audience, she opened her eyes. A pair of strange and scary eyes with different colors. She stared at Natsume and asked with a sneer, "What are you expecting?"
Natsume ignored her, turned around and left.
On the 81st floor of the habitation zone, attached to the axis mast, in the death zone shrouded in darkness, those slaves who had dug out their own eyes and fear were chanting prayers from the abyss of heresy, and they lined up like zombies.
Walking through the dark corridor. This place is infinitely close to the death zone...it is impossible to see the light again.
But this is still not the place most polluted by divinity...
At the lowest level of the refuge that has become an abyss.
Everything is decaying and withering, and although the equipment is still running, it has reached its limit... The sedimentation tank is overflowing with blood, and a woman is kneeling where the light falls. She hides her face and weeps in endless pain.
This is the lowest level of the shelter, not a living area, but a water circulation system.
When Natsume saw her, he knew that it was already too late... The seven original sins of depravity had been stripped away, and the pure divinity was about to give birth to the first "god" walking on earth in the human world!
…
"Hello? Are you okay?"
Natsume came back to his senses and found Qin Huan shaking him. Natsume fell down in a cold sweat. He stared at Qin Huan and said, "Run away..."
Qin Huan was stunned, "What?"
"Escape! Open the door! Take them to escape! Every one who can survive is one!" Natsume said and suddenly stood up again. He walked towards the closed door of the shelter and murmured as he walked, "Yes! Escape! You can!"
Live one by one!"
Qin Huan wanted to hold him, but was forced back by Natsume's aura.
Arriving at the gate, Natsume put his hands on the tens of thousands of tons of gates. He closed his eyes and felt the energy of heaven and earth flowing through his fingertips. But just when he was about to forcefully break open the gate, a voice suddenly spoke.
There was a sound in his heart.
"Natsume."
Natsume trembled when he heard this, opened his eyes and said, "Master?!"
Qin Huan, who had just gotten up, looked at the confused Xia Mu and was confused again. He thought to himself: Why are these immortal characters so weird?
"Natsume... don't act nonsense."
It was indeed Yougege's voice.
For more than ten years, since Yougege led Natsume into the mysterious realm, she has never shown her face again. Even Natsume didn't even know whether she was alive or dead. But he didn't expect that she would suddenly appear again today...
"master……"
"It's a foregone conclusion, don't try to change it. This is the sin of all living beings." Yougege's voice was calm, just like she taught Natsume to learn silence and forbearance many years ago.
But now Natsume is no longer willing to endure it.
He clenched his fists and said, "Master..."
"Are you still unwilling?"
"It's not that we are unwilling...but why? Why can we just watch? Why can't we help them?"
"Because you can't help! If you can save one person, can you save the world?" Yougege asked.
Natsume was shocked when he heard this, but he smiled and said, "What am I doing to save this world... I don't have that much ability. It's just what happened in front of me, I can't ignore it."
After finishing speaking, Natsume placed his hands on the 10,000-ton door of the shelter again.
"Natsume! You will die!" Yugege looked panicked in front of Natsume for the first time.
Natsume smiled and said, "It's just a cheap life, nothing to regret."
After saying that, Natsume shouted in a deep voice, "Get up!!!!"
