00405 train
"Why is it that human beings are so short in life, but yet they are able to shape such great civilizations? Is death a gift from God or a sin? ”
"Why should living beings be divided into male and female, male and female, and at the same time branch out of the individual, on the basis of establishing communication and affection, an additional bond of 'love'?"
"Why is it that we are selfish, arrogant, greedy, arrogant, lustful, angry, hateful, and never satisfied, but yet we can be beautiful, kind, grateful, courteous, forbearing, humble and content? What exactly is a human being, the offspring of the love of demons and angels? ”
"Haha! Don't think so much! Giving such an inquiry is just infinite thinking based on a finite foundation, and our proud brains will overheat and crash! ”
"Today, however, the reason why we quote a few passages from Justeven Osthe's "The Definition of Humanity" is because our great free country, the Supreme Council of the New Atlas Free Coalition, has passed Amendment Act A317, and a new symbiotic future between the last descendants of the Empire and the citizens of the Coalition has been outlined!"
"This means that the living environment that has long been accompanied by dependent parasitism will be completely far away from these hateful and pitiful last descendants of the empire, and while satisfying the humanistic concern, based on the fundamental purpose of the supreme bill of the coalition government, in the name of freedom, equality, and justice, our great chief judge of the House of Representatives has read this long-awaited amendment at the beginning of the year 107 of the Anno calendar, let us listen to the original text read below!"
The picture flows, the face hidden under the rag is slightly raised, the dark silhouette is not clear to see the man and woman, only a pair of starry eyes as bright as the Milky Way looms, he leans against the corner of the train, looking directly at the screen.
It was a dignified and elegant middle-aged man, dressed plainly and decently and very gentlemanly, with no expression on his engraving face, and he walked to the front desk in the face of countless eyes, and he held the future of billions of people in his hands.
There was no customary cough, and Lyster Steven Langke only glanced at the audience before opening his mouth to read it.
"In accordance with the old friendship agreement between the collapsed Zanspol Empire and the old Commonwealth, the Chamber of Deputies finally passed Amendment Act A317 in accordance with the wishes of all the legitimate citizens of the New Atlas Commonwealth. The bill deals primarily with the final disposition of the citizens of the Zanspol Empire after its fall, but before that, on behalf of all mankind, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to these venerable compatriots who bravely sacrificed themselves for the future of mankind at the time of the fall of the golden birdcage, and their selflessness and fearlessness in the face of crisis are worthy of praise and praise by all mankind, so the House of Representatives has amended the bill on the basis of a joint request from the citizens of the old liberal federal government, and Bill A317 has been successfully passed and is included in the Supreme Act of the New Atlas Free Confederation of Government, effective today. I would like to read out the main contents of the bill here on behalf of the Supreme Chamber of the House of Representatives. ”
"First of all, a comprehensive physical examination will be conducted for the last descendants of the empire, and those whose genetic sequences do not meet the standards of the Andalel Agreement will not be accepted for the time being! Those who do not meet the criteria will be relocated in accordance with the subsidiary regulations. ”
The first decree has little effect on the train, as they have passed the basic screening process and have been confirmed to be a human subject who can normally undergo enhanced evolution by signs of alienation.
"Second, for the individuals of the last descendants of the empire who have been screened by the criteria of the Rhythm of Origins, among which the female individuals are over 14 years old and under 30 years old, they will be incorporated by the 'Pride of Filas' into the various blockade factories of the Coalition to work, and the Coalition will manage and allocate resources to these groups in a unified manner, until they are eligible to replace the original ancestral genetic sequences through their work, and then they can become legitimate citizens of the Coalition and join the New Atlas Liberal Commonwealth as free......"
The man who had been leaning on the quiet reading stood up straight, and he quietly glanced at the old pocket watch in his hand, something that only the upper class nobles, or travelers who resold old model toys would have, was quietly soaking in the long river of time. On the north side of the watch is a photograph drawn with glowing crystals, a girl sitting on the grass with her eyes closed and embracing the sun, with a sweet smile and a beautiful figure, although her clothes are shabby, it is still difficult to hide her natural and quiet beauty.
After only looking at it for a while, a restless guy leaned over, and he looked down curiously without saying hello.
However, the novelty was immediately put away by the owner, and the man retracted into his corner, ignoring the comer.
But the curious baby grinned, broke half of the bread in his hand, and handed it over.
"Do you want to eat?" It was like feeding at a zoo.
The man didn't even look at it, didn't make a sound, and completely treated the other person as air.
However, this impolite behavior seemed to be acceptable to both parties, and he put away the bread stupidly, and the guy who had come all the way to bring warmth also pressed the brim of his hat and leaned against the silent man, feeling cool in his heart.
"Article 3, for the last individuals of the empire who have been screened by the criteria of the Origin Rhythm, among them males, those over the age of 14 and under the age of 45 will be uniformly included in the ranks of recruits by the Wings of Liberty Military Council, and these people will be redistributed by the Military Council, and they will have to exchange their merits for the qualification of freedom! Use the way of fighting to redeem yourself! Hopefully, they will be able to comprehend in the midst of the battle how their once mighty empire has pushed human civilization into this terrible abyss, and may they be able to join our new Atlas Commonwealth of Government with a noble standing as a defender of human freedom when they wake up from the nightmare shrouded in gunsmoke! Moreover, the Military Council has passed Individual Ordinance 09877, which will have the same rank promotion mechanism for these new recruits who join the Wings of Freedom as the citizens of the Coalition Government, so I hope that all of you who are heading to the barracks base will cherish this hard-won opportunity! ”
This decree was what everyone in the train was most concerned about, and when they heard the last paragraph, the discussion reached a climax.
Seeing that everyone was talking, the cool guy became restless again, he touched the silent man next to him, and said, "Hey, do you think they are so good?" ”
The man still didn't answer, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, breathing evenly, as if he was asleep.
So the annoying buddy touched him again, this time with a relatively strong force.
"Hey, brother, what do you say? Are you okay? Asleep? Or ......" The man bent down to try to see the indifferent man's condition.
But the mysterious man had hidden all the contours of his cheeks under the shadow, so that even though he was very close, he could not see his appearance clearly.
But this did not discourage the curious baby, but aroused his interest even more, he looked around at the people around him were talking lively, and tentatively touched the silent man, seeing that he did not react, then quietly took out the portable functional helmet in his arms.
And then he saw it...... A handsome face that suffocates him!
Perfectly outlined edges and corners, the pale skin without the slightest scar or any other embellishment, the face that has a male silhouette but is extremely dignified and demure, noble as a cold queen...... Does it really exist?!
The curious baby was stunned and frightened, and at the same time ...... I'm excited too! As if he had discovered a new world, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his hand unconsciously reached out slowly, trying to touch that perfect, mesmerizing face!
And then......
"Oops!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! ”
The screams squeezed out of his throat, and the exaggerated and noisy drew everyone's attention.
Following these suspicious people, they saw a man with a twisted and dislocated arm lying on the ground begging for mercy, and the moment his eyes were gathered, the man who had given the punishment had already stopped his hand and quietly retreated, shaking off all the troubles, and naturally disappeared in the crowd.
It was only after a while that a well-wisher stepped forward to help this audacious idiot.
"Hey, are you alright?"
The curious baby heard this rough and unpleasant concern, and immediately bounced up, his arm swinging uncontrollably at his side, he kept a red smile, and endured the pain and said: "Just kidding, can I do anything!" Busy yours! ”
"But...... Your hand! "The arm that swings like a pendulum doesn't look like it's okay.
However, the curious baby still pretended to look down naturally, and then with tears on his face, he forcibly pulled his muscles to keep smiling, and even rotated 360 degrees to show his calmness.
This exaggerated idiot was quickly ignored by the people around him with all kinds of contempt and suspicious eyes.
When everyone stopped staring at him, the curious baby cried and mourned, and put on a howling posture with his mouth open, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and at the same time his right hand wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch the left hand that had been out of his control, looking like he wanted to die.
The inquisitive baby, who had eaten the bitter fruit, endured the severe pain while continuing to search for the existence that had given him great shock, but the man was gone, and he never seemed to have appeared, because there were no footprints left in the corner where he had been.
……
"You broke his hand?"
"No, it's just a dislocation."
"It's just dislocated...... What's the difference between that and cutting off his hand? If no one helped him recover, his hands would be dead before he reached his destination. ”
“SO?”
“SO? Hmph, you'd better go find him and help him get his hands back, although he is not very polite, but there is no need to punish him like this, right? ”
"No, no."
"Say it again?!"
“……”
"Go! Don't grind! Fast! ”
"Got it...... Trouble is dead......"
"Hey, what are you talking about! Stinky boy! It's not that you're in trouble......"
Lin Sen opened his eyes, and his ears were quiet all of a sudden, his gaze was asleep in a terrible silence, although the surroundings were noisy, but for a predator who was quietly searching for prey, those things could be naturally ignored.
"Found you......" Lin Sen, who was very disgusted with contact with others, really had no legitimate reason to refuse the request from His Majesty the Human Emperor, so he had to blend in with the crowd again.
Then the curious baby was pulled into the dark, and before the curious baby widened his eyes and opened his throat to yell two words, his mouth was blocked by dry bread, and then a low "woo ......" came from the dark
Like a wolf......
The bearded man leaning in front of the train door looked into the dark when he heard the sound, Lin Sen walked out, and then there was a curious baby with a miserable smile on his face, and the most speechless thing was that even after two severe pain experiences, he still had the heart to smile and raise his hand to say hello, of course...... With his freshly repaired left hand!
"Morning!"
The bearded man glanced out the window at the pitch black night, muttered "neurotic" and turned to smoke.
The curious baby followed Lin Sen and came to a corner again, seeing that Lin Sen didn't speak and closed his eyes to recuperate, he didn't dare to speak, but this kind of thing works for ordinary people, but it is not so useful for an idiot like him.
"Uh...... Hello! My name is Zhang Yu! "Curious baby Squidward, Squidward, stretched out his oily hand as a gesture of friendliness.
However, Lin Sen had already shielded him from his ears, and he didn't want to pay attention to anyone, unless the other party was not interested, and for this kind of person, Lin Sen's way of receiving him was a little cruel.
Zhang Yukong, who was looking forward to it, stretched out his hand for a long time, Lin Sen didn't pay attention to him, but the fat man who was looking around boredly on the side smiled with disdain: "Zhang Yu? How are you only four paws? ”
Zhang Yu turned his head to look at the fat man when he heard this, and he was not angry, but just corrected it: "Well, to be exact, I have five!" ”
The fat man was happy: "Haha, I think if you really only have four people who will pay attention to you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the few people around him who had just seen them laughed.
Zhang Yu also laughed dryly, and then continued to stretch out his hand at Lin Sen, what about Lin Sen...... Still no birds......
At last...... In order to cushion the embarrassment, the little idiot of the optimist faction had to carefully pinch the strip of rags and the corner of the child wrapped around Lin Sen's head and shake it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed some kind of feat.
"Then we'll know each other! So, can you tell me what your name is? ”
At this time, Lin Sen was breathing evenly, and this time he was really asleep.
The fat man who had been looking at these two people complained again: "Hello, my name is wood, not your squid mother!" You might as well find another partner! Again, this was a low, rough imitation.
provoked a few guys around him to coax, Zhang Yu grinned, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally he persisted for a long time, then squatted down aggrievedly, and didn't make a sound.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the fat man pouted boringly, and continued to talk about yellow jokes with the people around him.
I don't know how long it took...... Zhang Yu, who was squatting on the ground, fell asleep in a daze with the rhythm of the swaying train, and vaguely, he heard a sound of "ding, ding" from far and near, and then he felt that he was slowing down as if he was floating in a dream.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked up, he found that Lin Sen was standing beside him and looking out at something.
"Arrived?" Zhang Yu raised his hand, grabbed Lin Sen's hand and stood up, and then after he stood up, he suddenly realized something, and immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock.
"I'm sorry, I ...... I...... I didn't mean to! ”
Lin Sen glanced at him, and suddenly felt that this idiot was not so annoying, so he relaxed his hand.
Then he said, "No." ”
Not?
Zhang Yu didn't understand whether this word was an answer to the previous question, or a half-answer to the later question?
But soon the answer was revealed, and the fat man who had mocked Zhang Yu before was peeking out of the open train door, only to be scared back by a swarthy muzzle.
"Go inside! It's not there yet! Get the out of here, get out of the way, you scum! The mechanical indifferent voice was mixed with bloodthirsty indifference, and a defender who was nearly three meters tall directly used the weapon in his hand to flick the crowd left and right, and a group of people were squeezed into the depths.
Lin Sen naturally dodged all the collisions, he was still standing in the corner, silently looking outside, and under the light, several tall defenders escorted a group of people towards this side.
At this time, some guys who had just woken up in the next compartment suddenly became noisy.
"Squeeze what a squeeze! There's no room in there! Ouch!! Who the fuck stepped on Lao Tzu's feet! ”
The people outside were startled, and hurriedly three or two people went up to cover the mouth of the goods, for fear of annoying the big man who was like death outside.
However, today the Grim Reaper was in a good mood, and the defender who opened the train door smiled and said, "These new women are all women, enjoy it, scumbags, while you are still alive!" The last paragraph of the speech was very low, so low that normal people could not hear it at all, but Lin Sen heard it clearly, his dark blue eyes flickered twice, and he stared into the distance......
Woman? Everyone looked at each other, Lin Sen's brows tightened, and his pupils turned into a vertical line.
Those ragged ...... It is indeed a group of women who range in age from fourteen to fifteen to thirty years old......
But......
Why are there women?
This side was seriously pondering, and the fat man over there suddenly became happy, he glanced at the surprised Zhang Yu, and then said: "Hey, Squidward, your squid girl is here!" ”
"Huh? It's weird, it's really a woman! The fat man leaning on the door watched with wide eyes as the group of barefoot women shivering in the night breeze slowly walked into the carriage, Zhang Yu also looked at it curiously, but was soon squeezed behind by others.
"Hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, my hand is just right!"
No one paid any attention to him, and the flow of people, driven by curiosity and aroused desire, soon surrounded the group of weak women.
Lin Sen stood in the corner and didn't need to step forward to see clearly, but he quickly lost interest in these people, so he closed his eyes and fell silent again.
It was the restless and curious baby who worked hard for a long time and returned to the front, but was pushed and hugged by the people behind, and Zhang Yu, who suddenly got out of the crowd, staggered into the arms of the group of women.
