Chapter 1071: Hollow (Medium)
"Did you find it?"
Mo Xiaolazy shook his head, the battle was still going on, and the floating spherical robots were repairing the damaged head of the Blue Whale Battleship, and the speed was very fast.
"The repair is 57% remaining and is expected to be completed at 2:33:15 p.m."
Leona sat next to Mo Xiaolan, and Yin Cai and Lilian behind her were also confirmed in the database.
However, most of them were still immersed in the non-human battle just now, and the roar of the guy with the ghost face, who represented the darkness of the Shining City, the bottomless darkness.
The atmosphere was a little solemn, the section chief and the secretaries were dealing with the matter at hand with their heads down, no one paid attention to the annihilation operation, the whole process was very fast, basically did not encounter the slightest obstacle, these seemingly powerful alienated creatures were as fragile as paper in front of the mythical legion.
It was only a matter of time before these alienated creatures were destroyed, the key was what was going on with the ghost-faced guy, and the plant-like creatures in the glass box in the room were sleeping quietly in the soft light.
Noah quietly looked at some of the values that had been uploaded back from the Blue Whale Battleship, and at this time he recalled some of the things he had just seen, and he seemed to have something in his head, but he could only wait until he returned to the 10th section.
"The inquiry has been completed, Lord Deguna, there are still 501 living deformed people in the city, 398 of them have undergone facial revision surgery and installed prosthetic limbs when medical technology advanced in the past, and they are no different from normal people, and the rest of the deformed people are at the bottom level, some marginal places are miscellaneous, the most recent deformed person who died was 35 years ago, do you want to send someone to check it?"
Deguna shook her head, and Rose smiled helplessly.
"That kid should have died a long time ago, after all, there ........ the mine"
"I still have an impression."
At this time, Locke spoke, and everyone looked at him, and he stood up.
"Because he was very ugly, when he was in the mining town, most of the children didn't like to play with him, he just carried some ore every day, and then got a little food, I had contact with him a few times, he was a simple guy, but then he left, and I don't know where he went."
The whining wind sounded, and Jean sat quietly at the top of the ridge, looking at the ground that had been pierced under the gray-black sky, still waiting.
Gene only remembered the deformed child who had been brought up by Monica from an underground deformed facility, and Gene had only seen him once.
In the past, when this land was still in strife, the deformed child was quite tall, and one out of three children born was a deformed child, and the people who came to this gladiatorial arena with difficulty in the apocalyptic virus radiation had more or less mutated genes to a certain extent.
Jean is now worried about whether the other party still has the technology to manipulate plants, which is a huge harm to the city, and Jean's biggest feeling after the fight is that these things can be differentiated without limit, and they can multiply at speed without limit.
The degree of differentiation can reach a degree smaller than that of an atom, and that degree is not visible at all, but fortunately these things have a fatal weakness, once they are irradiated by light, they will spontaneously combust without fire.
Jean was going to wait for the test to end, the cool air irritated his skin, and some black dust would drift through the air from time to time, but all this was meaningless to Jean himself, he would not be contaminated with any illness from these toxic particles, nor would he be frozen by the cold below 5 degrees Celsius.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a toddler!"
Jean muttered as a cyan particle floated in front of his eyes, and Jean caught it with his fingers.
"How?"
"No result, did you ask what the child's name was?"
Jean smiled wryly and shook his head, he had left the kid in the mine town and left to do the next thing, in the days when the sun had just risen and the forces were integrated, Jean and the other six guys hadn't closed their eyes for half a year, running around the city.
Everything today may be the result of the seeds planted in the past, taking root and sprouting, and the moment the guy died in his mind, there was still a fighting spirit in his eyes, and he didn't want to give in to death.
He's still human!
Jean smiled and lit a cigarette, the wind continued to whine through the ridge of the thousand holes, and then there was a slight sound, Jean turned his head, it was an alienated bat the size of a palm, it flapped its wings and made an attack, Jean did not continue to look at it, and soon it retracted into a small hole.
Jean tilted his head, then leaned back against a raised rock on his left, staring silently at the gray-black sky.
Power or money meant nothing to him and the other six guys, these things no longer had any effect in their eyes, but they could not let go of everything.
This may be Elle's eternal punishment for each of us, or not!
Jean laughed out loud, his eyes sad as he looked at the blackness of the sky, humans had not been able to look up at the stars for more than 200 years.
Coming to this gladiatorial arena full of hope, in fact, it is just a way for everyone to deceive themselves, and finally someone fell, as scientists, they know very well that if the light continues to be unable to illuminate the earth, humanity will perish, once the temperature of this planet is reduced to close to 0 degrees, no matter how much human beings survive, it will be in vain.
The crops grown with fluorescent lamps will only harvest less and less, and once every force in this land had its own fluorescent lamp farm, but because of famine, everyone began to destroy each other and rob each other of everything, just to live one more day.
Jean has seen the cruelest thing in the world, and he has seen the most benign thing in the world, and everything he has seen for more than two hundred years is like hell.
"What's wrong Jean, what are you thinking!"
The cyan particles swirled in Jean's ears, Jean smiled and shook his head, since Elle made a choice, what the seven people have been doing for so many years, everyone has never talked about it, just silently performing their duties and completing as much work as possible.
"I wonder if we might have known what it was for!"
"What do you say at this time! Come back soon if you're okay. ”
Jean shook his head.
"Maybe it's also to find our own answers, and it's also to pull up the human race, a species that is about to become extinct."
"I'm too lazy to discuss these things with you, just be yourself, right or wrong, just so that humanity can continue to survive."
Jean nodded, straightened up, patted the dust on the back of his head, and turned around, his body covered in pale blue particles, and he moved quickly.

The debris in the wind struck the dark armor, and Jaylin stood quietly in a cave at the bottom of the ridge, staring at everything in front of her, the black ball in her hand fell to the ground, and after a stumble, Jaylin fell to the ground.
"Dean!"
Jaylin pressed her head with one hand, a chill on her neck, and streams of heat poured out of her eyes, all she knew was that Frye was very angry and rushed forward desperately.
The result was everything, Frye was gone, nothing was left, and even the last cry paled.
With a burst of sobbing, Jaylin covered her mouth and lost her loved ones once again, Jaylin never imagined that there would be a day when Frye would disappear.
The first time I see Frye in my memory was when my father was sick, and at that time, Frye, as a psychiatrist, rushed over, and he tried his best to stop his father and constantly comfort him.
Obviously his head was bleeding, but Frye never gave up on his father.
"It's okay, there won't be any problems, you're the same Jaylene."
The light was getting dimmer and darker, and only between 12 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon was the time when a glimmer of light could be glimpsed from the clouds outside the barrier, and Jaylin crossed her arms and a suffocating chill enveloped her.
Jaylin didn't know what to say to everyone when she got back, and Frye left.
........
Life goes on and on and on, never stopping, and death sometimes means new life, and new life sometimes means death.
In a white-lit room, several men in white robes were delivering a pregnant woman who had no eyes, and the place of the eyes was just a raised sarcoma.
Frye quietly looked at everything in front of him, he smiled slightly, in his memory, he used to dream of this scene in his dreams, this was when he was born.
With a terrible roar, Fry looked at the hands of a white-robed female nurse, holding a deformed child with a distorted face and the size of a small left foot and a right foot from birth.
The woman on the bed groaned in pain, and the nurse held the child in front of her.
"Kid! No matter how tragic your fate is in the future, all this is not destined by God, no matter what, you must live, as long as you live, you will see the light one day! ”
The mother who gave birth to herself died, and Frye floated in the air, looking at everything in front of him, and the born self was handed over to a kind-faced grandmother outside the hospital room.
The old grandmother held the baby, kept comforting, took out a feeding bottle, and fed the baby some liquid.
The entire underground facility of the Freaks was built by an organization called the Church, and many of them believed in something devoutly.
Frye watched as a baby, growing up and running around in this underground facility, and the world in front of him changed from fresh at the beginning to boring and boring later.
"What's the sound outside!"
"War!"
It was the first time Frye had heard the word, but he asked what war was.
"People kill, you can't go out of Frye, you're going to die."
As Frye grew older, he didn't quite understand what was going on with all the people underground, food was scarce, disease was rampant, but none of them went out.
"We're just a bunch of monsters living underground."
That's the answer Fry gets, old people will walk out of the underground and never come back.
"When will they come back!"
Frye had a few old deformed people with whom he had a good relationship, but they had been there for days.
"They're not coming back."
"Then why don't we go out?"
The answer I got was still the same, I would die if I went out.
The facility began to thin on as food became scarce and someone tried to get out, and Frye was tempted to get out, but was dissuaded by the janitor, and he stayed.
Days of rain had begun to creep into the basement, and Fry could always hear eerie cries that someone had given up and had been without food for days.
The water had flooded the rooms on the lowest floor, and Frye could only huddle in the corners of the top floor.
Eventually, someone ran out, and Frye couldn't walk anymore, he was just fantasizing about what the outside world would be like when he walked out one day, what the war was like, what the noises that would come every day, what it was.
However, the result was only a day by day, and the biting cold began to rush with the water into the upper rooms, beginning to invade Fry's body.
"Minika!"
Frye smiled slightly, looking at Monica who was injured and walked into the underground facility, she was still the same as before, her eyes were fierce, as if her injuries were nothing, like a beast trying to find shelter.
The sun rises, and Fry sees the outside world for the first time, and the day Monica arrives brings hope, the first hope in Frye's life.
For a long time after that, Fry followed Monica.
"Why kill them Monica, Mingming."
"No why, you don't need any reason to kill a group of weak people, you don't need to think about such complicated things, eat, eat and sleep."
During his time with Monica, Fry had seen countless killings, but he was not happy at all.
"Why carry such a burden as me!"
"Huh?"
Frye stared at everything in front of him quietly, this was the first time he had quarreled with Monica, because of her own reasons, Monica was seriously injured, but she just laughed and slapped Fry on the head vigorously.
"It's up to me whether you're a burden or not, not yourself, just sleep well when you're full, I'm fine, just sleep and get up."
The war began to calm down, but Monica still led her men to fight guerrillas every day, and had no intention of compromising with the several huge forces that had been formed.
One night, the eve of Monica's death, Frye watched Monica in the lab.
"Monica, why don't you surrender, at least you can ....... it"
"By the way, the little ghost asks you a question, what do you think of me?"
Frye didn't understand why Monica was asking.
"You're so nice Monica, the best person I've ever met."
"Okay, you can eat more tonight and go to sleep, thank you little ghost."
At that time, Frye did not have a name, and that night Fry had realized something, and always felt that Monica was more gentle with him than usual.
The next day, Monica died.
Frye only remembers that in addition to sadness, perhaps the greatest thing was relief, because he knew that this was the deepest desire in Monica's heart.
"I can't stop it, little ghost, people like us can't control ourselves at all, it's not anyone's fault, remember Fry, don't resent anyone."
Later, Fry gradually understood something, Monica and the others were like the deformed people who had lived underground for a long time and could not get out, they had no way to escape, and they had been immersed in the dark for too long.
During the time she spent with Monica, Monica never let herself get involved in killing, nor did she teach herself anything related to combat, except for sleeping with herself every day, giving herself food, and sometimes telling herself stories.
"Teach me, Monica."
"Listen to Fry, in an era of peace, knowledge is power, you don't need these things, God has closed one door for you, but opened another door for you, you are smarter, smarter than anyone I've ever met."
Frye quietly watched everything that was still flowing like dust, and he understood why Monica was so special to him.
Perhaps a long time ago, when Monica was still alive, Frye vaguely understood that in everyone's eyes, Monica was fierce and cruel, just a mad beast, but Monica clearly knew that she was human.
So Monica desperately tried her best in the last few years of her life to prove whether she was a human or a beast, and finally Monica proved everything she was as a human being, she had the most primitive kindness of human beings, raised herself, and gave herself the love that only existed in people.
"You're the best person I've ever met!"
The picture flows, Frye quietly looks at the mine in front of him, a large number of people are busy, this is when he was 10 years old, his body has become much stronger because of Monica's love, Frye is here every day to help carry the ore out of the ground, in exchange for some food.
"Ugly!"
Looking at the picture, people kept throwing rocks at him, but Frye never fought back, nor did he get angry, because they were telling the truth.
As the city was gradually built, more and more children were born, and one day Frye was sick and did not go to the mines, so naturally he had nothing to eat, and he shivered in a small house made of wooden planks.
"Do you want to eat?"
A round little fat man walked in and brought some food.
"This is what I got from Mr. Jean, and I was going to keep it for when I was hungry."
This was the second time Frye felt warm, and although the other party said a bunch of things, he finally stuffed the food into Frye's mouth, and he said thank you to someone other than Monica for the first time.
In the days that followed, the little fat man would always come over and give Freiser a little food every day and bring medicine.
"In a long time, my parents will go to the mountains and forests, and life will be better there, do you want to go with us?"
Frye wanted to go, but before he could finish his sentence, the little fat man was called out.
After recovering from his recovery, Frye noticed that many of the people in the mine town had begun to leave to work at a city wall under construction, and Frye followed.
This section of the wall is the responsibility of a large family, where you can eat enough, and other large and small families, too.
"Are you hurt?"
Fry's eyes widened, and she looked at a very beautiful little girl in front of her wearing a beautiful spotted headscarf, and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Nabe!"
