Chapter 1256: A Difficult Situation and a Dark Future
The female chief's urgency for death is something Banner simply cannot understand. Obviously, he was still saying that he had become what he is now in order to survive, but now he wants to die. It's a fundamental inconsistency. Could it be that it is really sad and desperate? Banner was incredulous, so he immediately asked the female leader.
"Why do you want to die so much? Since you can choose to eat people in order to live, then your desire to survive should be very strong. In this case, shouldn't death be the outcome you want to try to avoid? ”
"You don't understand anything." After glancing at Banner in a daze, the female leader closed her eyes vigorously and said to him in a boring manner. "To live, of course we want to live. Otherwise, we would have died at the very beginning of the disaster. But the world is not something you can live in if you want to. It takes capital to live in this land, and my capital has been completely destroyed by you. It's impossible for me to live anymore, so I'd rather die at this time. At the very least, I can die a happy death. ”
"Die a happy death?" Hearing this, Banner's eyes showed a look of sympathy. Because he knew that the words of the female leader were nothing more than an unrealistic fantasy.
Happy, what is happy. The joy in the eyes of the female leader is only a painful death. She only thinks about what happened before death, but not what happens after death. And with the little spider here, her soul is destined to fall into the torment of sin, which will be the most terrible punishment, and it can not be called a pleasure in any way.
Of course, he would not have told the female chief such a thing clearly, because it was not necessary and did not suit his wishes. For him, what these refugees have done has broken his psychological bottom line. Even though he was sympathetic to the fate of these people, he didn't think there was anything wrong with such a fate.
Cannibalism, in itself, means that you don't think of yourself as a human being anymore. In such a situation, the sympathy and humanitarianism that human beings are accustomed to naturally do not fall on your head. What kind of fate you fall into, you will not be worthy of pity at all.
With such a thought firmly in his mind, Banner had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Since you want to die so much, then I won't stop you. There are two more questions for you to answer, and when you're done answering my questions, we'll give you a well-deserved end. ”
"So what are you waiting for, just ask. The sooner I die, the sooner I can be freed. ”
The attitude of the female leader was still stubborn, but he could no longer let the determined Banner be moved, he just stared at the woman in front of him deadly, and then said to her seriously.
"Why are you like this? Is it caused by nuclear radiation? No, nuclear radiation is deadly, but it won't be like that. And as you said before, you're a bunch of losers. This means that the changes in you are caused by some particular reason. What is it that has caused you to be like this... Monster! ”
"You want to know why, okay, I'll tell you!"
"This is because we have received help from the Cult of God. However, the help of the Cult of God was not always successful. Although we have adapted to the environment of nuclear radiation, we have also become a bunch of monsters. Moreover, me and the people around me are the most thorough of the monsters. It is called a failure, and it is not even allowed to enter the sanctuary established by the Anthropoist Religion. In such a land, not being able to enter the sanctuary means wandering around. We are a pack of stray wild dogs, hunting everything we can to survive until we meet you. Hehe... Retribution? It's okay, anyway, there is no future in life, and such retribution is actually broken. ”
"Anthropomorphism?" Banner, who was no stranger to the name, quickly remembered Hydra's usual methods, and after confirming that these things were related to Hydra, the expression on his face immediately became heavy. "I don't understand why you have to accept such a thing. Although the effects of nuclear radiation are deadly, the area is not the hardest hit area. As long as you persevere, you can wait for our rescue. You don't have to be what you are, you're pushing yourself into the abyss! ”
"That's right, it's pushing yourself into the abyss!"
Nodding, the female leader actually agreed with Banner's statement, but soon, she retorted.
"Still, it's better than falling into the abyss right away. You foreigners, have no idea how desperate the situation we are facing. Do you think we are the only ones who accept such conditions? No, we're just a small part of that. Millions of people, like us, have chosen to embrace this special change in order to survive in this wasteland. We don't accept it, do you know what the result is? Just as those who are hunted by us as food can only be hunted by other wanderers. The wanderers in the hardest-hit areas are outnumbered and more powerful than we are. If we don't choose change, we don't have any way to live. If it were you, do you think you would have more options at that time? Hold on to your rescue, it's a ridiculous joke. By the time you bureaucrats thought of us, we would have been eaten up by the other loiters. ”
The female leader's words were like a piece of iron pressing on Banner's heart, leaving him speechless for a long time. Admittedly, they have been trying to save these innocent people, but no matter what, they are too late. Being late is a foregone conclusion, and there is simply no way for them to salvage it all when they are late.
It's a tragedy, but all Banner can express is regret. Although he sympathized with the plight of these people, at this time he had to focus his attention on a more critical position. The key information that was revealed by the female leader.
"You say that millions of people are just like you. How is this possible? How could so many people choose to do this. And even if they really chose to do this, it had only been a few months, how could the Cult of Human God have the ability to do this. Are you lying to me? Are you hiding something? ”
"Lie to you, do you think there is any benefit for me to lie to you at this time?"
A mocking smile appeared on the female leader's face. This made Banner frown, but said it seriously.
"I think there is. You can deceive us into the illusion of being surrounded by countless enemies. This will leave us physically and mentally exhausted, and eventually we will either evacuate the land or be completely overwhelmed by the pressure. If there is an accident that leaves us on this land forever, then it is a special kind of revenge, which is not necessarily impossible from your point of view. ”
"You're right, it's a revenge. But I can tell you unequivocally that it's overthinking. I'm telling the truth, and soon you'll know if I'm telling the truth or not. ”
With a strange smile on her face, the female leader said so.
"The Wanderer I lead is the smallest of the Wanderers in this vicinity, and the reason why we first came into contact with you is because this city happens to be our hiding place. Because we can't compete with other forces, we can only eat some leftovers in the empty city where this person goes. Others are looking for fresh food in the remote villages. They'll be back, and it won't be too long. Sooner or later, you will meet them, and when that time comes, you will know how terrible what is facing you! ”
It's not alarmist, Banner can feel it. And it was this feeling that made him stand up all the fur on his body. Nervousness is inevitable. Although he didn't show the tension in his heart, in the words, he couldn't help but increase his strength a little.
"One last question, tell me about the current state of the country. It is now divided into several parts, the forces of the Cult of God, your so-called wanderers, and the civilians who have not become like you, all this you need to tell me if you know! ”
Seriously, that's a really hard question to answer. Because I only know a little bit of the surface. But in order to be liberated as soon as possible, I'm willing to tell you everything I know. ”
"Mumbai under the protection of the Cult of God should be the biggest force, because the troops with the power to change us are from Mumbai. They use some kind of huge device to spread what they call a vaccine that will free us from radiation. This is the only hope for us who were frightened by those terrible disasters, so the vast majority of people choose to accept it all. There are those who succeed, and they live in the sanctuary established by the Anthropo-Godian religion. There are also failures, like me, wandering in this wasteland. ”
"Both are in the thousands, in every city, in every land in this country. There are only not many people who have not yet accepted all this. Even if there were, it was almost eaten cleanly. How many more do they have left, twenty million? Million? Or 100 million? I do not know. But I know that they will only become less and less, because there is only darkness in front of them. ”
"Just a cursed land, a world doomed to destruction. No one can live happily, they can only die, or become like me. Do you think you can save them? It's ridiculous, it's simply not possible. You can't save anyone, not even yourselves! ”
