Resurrection Empire

Day 38.

At six thirty in the morning.

Bentley's car is racing on the outskirts of Starfire Town.

The night team ended another day of morning exercises.

Today was a fruitful harvest, and the faces of the three people in the car were full of joy in varying degrees.

Ren Zhong, who was in charge of driving, took out the key from his trouser pocket and threw it to the back seat: "Yu Jin, now I basically won’t go back to my house. Starting today, that house will belong to you. "

Yu Jin quickly caught the key in his hand and shook his head again and again, "How can this be done? That is Mr. Ren's property."

Ren Zhong haha ​​smiled: "You too Seeing how much I can earn now, still care about the money? Give it to you and take it."

"No...no, I can help Mr. Ren clean the room for you, but I can’t ......"

"Don’t talk nonsense, that house is useless to me. The living environment of you and your mother is too shabby. Even if you suffer yourself, your mother is old , The body is not as strong as you. Now that you are barely worthwhile, you should let her live a good life, right?"

Yu Jin was taken aback, "Thank you Mr. Ren."

"Thank you. You are now a replacement for Starfire Town's fourth professional team. You've been so miserable, doesn't it seem that I'm very shameless when you pass it out. Also, go back and ask your mother not to do the sewing business, and again Tired and no money, I'm still being renege on a debt. Uh, 38 years old is not too young, it's time to enjoy some refreshing blessings."

Ren Zhong continued to carefree.

Yu Jin's lips trembled, but in the end he accepted the key obediently and honestly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ren, I remember it all."

"I said don’t thank you. You are welcome, what a small meaning."

"en." Yu Jin shook the Level 1 heavy sniper who had just changed in his handshake, and then adjusted the whole new Level 1 gunner biochemical combat uniform, and said, "Mr. Ren, I now have all the parameters fully reached Level 1 gunner. So I...I want to go out hunting by myself during the day, what do you think?"

Ren Zhong considered it for a while and decided to temporarily give up pulling Yu Jin into the daytime squad.

Although young man has grown rapidly, he still has a short time in the industry, and his strength is still very different from other people.

Let him in hastily, first, there may be conflicts in the squad splitting accounts, second, currently Wen Lei and Bai Feng are responsible for protecting Chen Hanyu in the abandoned mine pit, and taking Yu Jin down to the mine pit is not only impossible. What kind of help can also put him in danger.

"Then you turn around and pay attention to your own safety, and don't force yourself when you encounter a strong enemy. Also be careful of other people. If someone wants to do something to you, remember to report my name."

" Well, good sir. I will remember."

A few minutes later, the walls of Starfire Town are vividly visible, and the Bentley car flew onto the road smoothly.

Usually at this point in time, outside the town has always been cold and cheerless, after all, most of the talented people just got up at this time.

But today's situation is slightly different. Ren Zhong saw a large white truck parked on both sides of the road outside the town's north gate from a distance.

Beside the big truck, there is a tall Iron Pagoda about ten meters high.

Beside the Iron Pagoda, there is a hunter suspended in the air, and the robotic arms are busy back and forth on the Iron Pagoda.

Ren Zhong frowned, subconsciously a little nervous.

He has a strong psychological shadow on hunters.

Wait for the Bentley car to get closer, he saw clearly the words sprayed on the white truck cabin, "Mundo Group Liaoyuan Branch Office."

More than a dozen elderly people are queuing in front of the truck.

The queue is very neat, the old people are not whispering, very peaceful.

The expressions on the old people's faces are different. Some have relief-like relief on their faces, others are looking forward to it, and some have blue lips trembling all the time.

The big truck only opened a small door that only allowed one person to enter and exit, and I didn't know what was busy inside.

The atmosphere on the scene seemed to carry a strange tranquility and peace.

The fear of hunters in the bottom of my heart made Ren Zhong want to expedite the accelerator to leave, but he was curious about what the old people were doing.

He slowed down a bit and asked Chen Hanyu next to him: "What's the situation? Mundo Group is showing compassion to the elderly for free medical examinations?"

Chen Hanyu feels a little bit. Surprised, "en? Mr. Ren, don't you know?"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Hanyu reacted after a while and said casually: "No wonder, Mr. Ren You used to be a city citizen, and it’s normal if you don’t know the situation in the town. The old people are committing suicide."

"What!"

Ren Zhong even forgot to hunt the killer He hung high above his head and slammed on the brakes.

Chen Hanyu repeats again, "Suicide, what's the matter?"

Since! kill!

These two words sounded like thunder in Ren Zhong's mind.

He was stunned.

He turned his neck stiffly, turning his face away, looking through the car window, staring at the outside.

At the same time, he asked at a very slow rate.

"You...to the end...are...say...what...?"

Ren Zhong's teeth were clenched very tightly, and his head burst into bruises.

Looking at the peaceful and peaceful scene a moment ago, only a weird and terrifying atmosphere appeared in his eyes at this time.

Trucks are still those white trucks. In addition to the Mundo Group branch, there is also a small cross with a red border and a white heart representing medical care.

People are still those people, but they only go inside, but no one goes outside.

There are two conveyor belts on the top of the truck, one is sending some chubby things to the high platform, and the other is sending the same things back.

On the high platform, the hunters are still busy.

The robotic arm is like the antennae of a bee, sending bloody things back.

At the same time, another robotic arm grabbed something from the high platform and threw it into the pit behind it.

Ren Zhong saw everything clearly.

It is the heads of old people going back and forth on the conveyor belt.

The incision on the neck is neat, and there is white mist. It should be frozen to prevent blood splashing.

The brain is taken away by the hunter.

No need for Chen Hanyu to explain to him, he already understands everything.

Old people are indeed queuing to commit suicide.

The hunter is getting his brain in time.

Understanding the phenomenon, Ren Zhong can't figure out the reason.

Why is this?

Being alive...isn't it?

Are you all crazy!

Can't live anymore, stand up and resist!

What's the difference between this method of death and the pigs lining up in the gates of hell in the slaughterhouse!

You are human!

The hideous expression on Ren Zhong's face disappeared for a moment.

Because he reacted right away, the hunter was close at hand and he had to pretend.

Especially he heard something from Chen Hanyu's earlier ordinary tone.

This is the norm.

I am a desolatemen living in this world, and I should be as used to it as Chen Hanyu!

I can't behave abnormally!

Never!

But I really can’t do it!

Ren Zhong closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands so that no one could see.

His hands are shaking slightly.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Ren?"

"No, I'm fine, I'm a little tired."

Ren Zhong only opened his eyes. Hiding the bloodshot that burst suddenly, stepped on the accelerator lightly again.

The Bentley car drove forward again and steadily.

Ren Zhong cursed himself in his heart.

I'm so stupid.

I should have realized it when I saw the hunters and these old people in line from afar.

I actually parked here and asked others.

I should go straight away.

I am so stupid.

I can't think of it, it's because I still don't adapt to this world.

My disguise is not perfect.

But I really don’t want this perfection!

Although Ren Zhong didn't say anything, everyone noticed that the atmosphere in the car suddenly became deadly and cold.

Chen Hanyu vaguely noticed the abnormality.

She knew that Mr. Ren was an overly kind person, and took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Ren, we don’t know the situation in the city. This may be the first time you have seen it. But it is indeed in the town of Desolatemen. A common destination for the elderly. It will happen every two months before the census."

"Many elderly people want to give their children the temporary desolatemen places that are ranked high, so that their children can stay In a small town, this choice will be made. And Mundo Group will also pay remuneration, which is another income that can be left to children or family members. This is indeed a very common phenomenon. Zheng Tian and her younger brother's quota is like this Come. It's a pity that her younger brother didn't live to the present."

Chen Hanyu was very calm when talking about these things, as if he was talking about the weather today.

Ren Zhong only felt his scalp numb.

Is Chen Hanyu a good person or a bad person?

Ren Zhong thinks Chen Hanyu is a good person by nature.

She also encountered the injustice of fate, and she also had anger and resentment towards some people in her heart.

She also has a clear target for revenge.

But she was still calm and even a little too indifferent to the queuing of the old people to die.

The kindness she has shown to herself in the past is different.

Did Chen Hanyu change?

Of course not.

It only proves that she didn't realize what was wrong with it from the bottom of her heart.

All of this, in the ears of Ren Zhong from the 21st century, is simply unreasonable and makes him feel horrified by this world.

Chen Hanyu’s commentary continues, "From this week, Mundo Group’s cars will come once a week, and continue until the last week before the census. The hunters take the brains, and Mundo Group will take them. Walk the corpse. The money they give is the remuneration for buying the corpse. In the past, on average, from dozens to hundreds of people choose to commit suicide every year, about half of the number of newborns. I heard that there are more newborns in the town this year. More elderly people will choose this road."

At this time, the Bentley car has entered the town, and Ren Zhong finally couldn't bear it anymore, shook the head abruptly, raised the tone, "Enough! You are! Stop talking! I see!"

Chen Hanyu didn't understand why Ren Zhong was suddenly angry and was shocked, so he shut up quickly.

Ren Zhong realized his lost self-control and waved his hand wearily, "sorry."

Chen Hanyu: "It's okay."

Ren Zhong No more words, just looking ahead like a walking corpse.

In order to hide the uncontrollable mood, he left his mind empty.

He knew he had failed.

Obviously, I have gotten like a fish back in water in this Starfire Town.

But today, he was easily overwhelmed.

He once again deeply felt how incompatible he was with this world.

He can't restrain the sadness in his heart.

Because he knows the truth.

The saddest thing about the great self-sacrifice of old people is that their sacrifices are meaningless!

They want to reserve places for their families.

The highest price they earn in exchange for life is so small.

But the fact is that the Starfire Town census has already been sentenced to death in advance.

There is no future in this small town carrying such heavy hope.

"By the way, Mr. Ren, can I stop here for a while? Also, I want to borrow a motorcycle."

Yu Jin, who didn’t say a word, suddenly appeared in the back Said.

Ren Zhong nodded, "Of course you can, what's the matter?"

Yu Jin hesitated and said, "Although I was with my mother a few days ago, Having said that, with the help of Mr. Ren, I am already a qualified professional and have the ability to survive in the wild. My mother also promised me not to consider giving me the place, but today I saw this car, I still feel a little bit Worry."

"Then you don’t hurry home! You said it earlier! What kind of hunting will you come out today!"

Yu Jin apologized: "Actually, I have a bit of I’m just worried. After all, my mother promised me."

Five minutes later, when Ren Zhong was about to stop the Bentley car in the parking lot, he received a loan from Yu Jin that he borrowed from him. A call from a Level 1 official watch.

On the phone, Yu Jin spoke incoherently, losing one's head out of fear.

Ren Zhong only understood one sentence.

"My mother is gone."

The young man just grabbed the gun in his hand and just got the key to the new home that Ren Zhong gave him.

The young man just ignited his fighting spirit to let his mother live a better life.

The mother quietly disappeared.

Yu Jin's mother lied with her life after all.

...

When Ren Zhong and Chen Hanyu drove to Yu Jin's house, the poor young man was clenching his fist tightly.

His lips are trembling, Both eyes are spiritless, and his clothes are wet with tears.

On the tear-covered eyeballs, there is a cobweb of red blood.

His fingernails were so white that he squeezed a fist.

He opened his mouth wide and seemed to want to cry loudly, but there was only a ho ho in his throat.

He couldn't cry.

He doesn't even have the strength to breathe.

No one can imagine his mood at this time.

Chen Hanyu, who was slightly indifferent when seeing other old people commit suicide just now, turned away in silence, couldn't bear to look any more, and tears filled his eyes.

When the protagonist of the event changed from a stranger to a friend's mother, she felt Yu Jin's sadness and felt the same.

Ren Zhong took a step forward and slapped Yu Jin on the face.

Yu Jin froze for a long time before slowly came back to his senses, looked at Ren Zhong blankly, and then finally jumped up and hugged his leg.

"Ren...Mr. Ren...My mother lied to me! She lied to me! My mother is gone! No more!"

Ren Zhong shouted angrily: "talk What nonsense! Maybe she just went out!"

Yu Jin tremblingly raised his right hand and spread it out. Inside was a piece of crumpled paper, "This...this... …My mother left this for me."

Ren Zhong picked up the paper and spread it out cautiously.

On the crumpled paper, with crooked brushstrokes, write like this:

"Yu Jin, when you see this letter. Mother is gone. I am and You Jiang Aunt, Liu Uncle and they walked together. We are not alone. Dr. Sun said that at a normal age, I could only live another one or two years. So, don’t be sad, don’t be sad, this is the mother’s choice . Mother does not regret it."

"Mother is glad to see that you have become a qualified professional now. You tell me that Mr. Ren praises you for innate talent. I also asked others about it. , Mr. Ren’s praise to you is sincere. My son is indeed a great gunsmith. I am very proud."

"I believe you will become a citizen one day in the future. But you can’t leave Small town, you can’t lose your identity as a temporary desolatemen. Only by staying in the town can you have the hope of becoming a citizen. If you leave, there is really no hope. Goodbye, Yu Jin. You are my pride."

"I saved two points before. Fortunately, Mundo Group gave me 20 points, so there are still 22 points in my watch, which have been transferred to your account. You can get 19.8 points. Point. Mother I’m sorry, I only saved so much money, but mother really tried her best. You will follow Mr. Ren to make a good tie. Goodbye. Goodbye."

When Ren Zhong read the letter, Yu Jin The crying gradually became hoarse.

Heartbreaking.

He broke down.

Ren Zhong is also on the verge of collapse.

He saw a great mother.

I also saw the dark side of this world beyond his imagination.

At twenty o'clock, two hundred days of food, one life.

Moreover, Mundo Group, as one of the nine major groups, the county-level branch is impossible to know the objective fact that Starfire Town will be banned.

It even stripped the meaning of desolatemen sacrifice!
