Real Players of the Department of Life

Chapter 98

The farce is still going on, but the protagonist is no longer there, leaving only Jing Shuo's real illusion messy in the air.

"You can't continue to live in City 88 if you act like this."

This was the first thing Zhang Cishun said after seeing Jing Shuo.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, haven't we already planned to leave here?" Jing Shuo was very relaxed when he said this, and even had a long-lost smile on his face.

Jing Shuo had never smiled since the day Zhang Cishun woke up. City No. 88 was about to crush him to death. Now that he was able to escape at the 'death' point, it was a relief.

At least that's what Jing Shuo thinks.

"Can we still catch the garbage truck now?" Jing Shuo asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Cishun said, "I guess it's too late, but it doesn't matter. We can find other means of transportation in City 88."

There are cars in City No. 88. In addition to garbage trucks, there are other vehicles.It’s just that they were never allowed to be driven in the city.

"It will be the two of us again..." Jing Shuo unbuttoned his buttons and asked suddenly as if he remembered something: "Can you drive?"

"I think I should be able to." Zhang Cishun thought for a while and said.If the evolution of vehicles doesn't change much, he should.If anything changes...

He felt that he could drive it by feeling his way.

Anyway, there are no traffic regulations restricting him here.

Open it!The big deal is a collision!If it's broken, just repair it. Anyway, both he and Jing Shuo can do mechanical repairs.

"Are you following them?"

On the other side, Zuo Yanchong asked Wen Yan.

"Let's go, there's nothing worth remembering here. I used to work so hard to get close to my sister, but now that she's dead, I seem to have no purpose. So...it's not a bad idea to follow them for a walk." Wen Yan leaned against the wall and said, "Growing up, I have never seen what the wilderness looks like, nor what other cities look like. I guess they are different from City 88."

"It's not necessarily better, maybe it's worse." Zuo Yan took out a cigarette and handed one to Wen Yan. Wen Yan didn't actually know how to smoke, but he took it anyway.

"Aren't you leaving?" Wen Yan asked.

Zuo Yan shook his head: "My brother is here. I am here to accompany him."

Wen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Your brother may not want you to stay here. He said that you should have a free soul."

Zuo Yan paused: "How did you know...forgot that you are qualified?"

"When you take photos in the new city, don't forget to ask Zhang Cishun to send me a few photos. He can do it," Zuo Yan said.

Wen Yan nodded.

The two of them were chatting leisurely like this, and Zhang Cishun and Jing Shuo came back.

They told them their wishes, and Zhang Cishun and Jing Shuo were free to do anything.

"I will help you keep an eye on City 88. I have a hunch that you will come back." Zuo Yan suddenly said.

Jing Shuo nodded: "Yes, definitely."

"By the way, there is another option. Do you want to consider it?"

"Who?" Jing Shuo asked.

"Experiment 200."

Experimental subjects 200?

"The little girl you left behind?" Zhang Cishun said.This was quite impressive to him. He almost thought of her as a friend through the nanobots.

"Her ability..."

Zuo Yan said: "Just because you can't resist doesn't mean Jing Shuo can't resist. In a sense, Jing Shuo's ability as a qualified person is almost the same as her ability as a qualified person."

"You know I'm qualified?" This time it was Jing Shuo's turn to be surprised. He had never mentioned this matter to Zuo Yan.

"I'm not blind. I have already guessed that you are qualified, but I have never confirmed it. Later, when I was discussing with Wen Yan how to deal with those whose abilities have been borrowed, Wen Yan mentioned something when it came to the subject 200. Mouth. This can be regarded as confirming my guess."

Seeing that the topic was brought to her, Wen Yan shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. The news I got is that she knows Jing Shuo is qualified. At most, I confirmed her guess."

"Can my ability really resist hers?" Jing Shuo asked suspiciously.

"Not now, but you will be able soon."

When the strengthening potion was placed in front of the two of them, they knew where Wen Yan's confidence came from.

So, a new team was formed.

Zhang Cishun

景烁
Warm words
And the experimental subject 200 now named Jing Yan.

Jingyan's name comes from Jingshuo's scenery and gentle words, which are very careless.It was taken by Zuo Yanchui.

The little girl had no objection, and Jing Shuo and Wen Yan made no sense.The latter's eyes often looked at Jing Yan with a strange color.

That kind of look was very familiar to Zhang Cishun. When he was in the INN laboratory, Wenquan had looked at Wen Yan with this look.

"Hey, let me ask you a question."

Just when their team was about to leave, Wen Yan suddenly stopped and said to Zuo Yan, "When you drank the strengthening potion, did you suspect that I had drugged it?"

Zuo Yan smiled: "You should know this question. Those who are qualified should speak gently."

"I want to hear your answer."

"Have."

"Then if you had it to do over again, would you still doubt it?"

Zuo Yan thought for a while: "Yes, you were not my friend at that time."

"So now?" Wen Yan asked.

Zuo Yan shook his head: "No, I just treat you as a fellow sufferer."

Poor people suffering from the same disease, one lost his brother and the other lost his sister.

Wen Yan rolled his eyes.Holding Jing Yan's hand, he followed Zhang Cishun who had already left some distance away.

The wind blew her faint voice to Zuo Yan's ear:

"Tsundere!"

Zuo Yan smiled, and the moment he turned back, his body disappeared.

-

The bodies of the four people were hidden under the hoods. They passed through the crowd, passed through the upper city area, the middle city area, and arrived at the lower city area.

The way out of the city was not here, but Jing Shuo said he wanted to come back for a visit, so he came back.

The old house is still there, and the sand and soil accumulated by the people in the lower city have been piled between it and the surrounding buildings. They are just waiting for the cold wave to really come, and water and sand will be used to pour out a new residence.

However, there are not many people still active in Xiacheng District. Most of them have followed the rioting crowd and there are not many people left.

They returned to their previous house, but everything that originally belonged to them was gone. Except for the blanket, all other parts were gone.It was probably used by the latecomers in exchange for money, and they didn't care. After hanging the door again, Jing Shuo felt as if he had finally broken off some bondage, feeling relaxed all over.

"Let's go out of town."

They turned around, but before they could walk out, they were stopped by a thin figure.

Jing Shuo's eyes turned cold, but before he could take action, the figure opposite spoke.

"Is it... Jing Shuo and Zhang Cishun?" The voice was clear, and it turned out to be a girl.

The two looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. "Who are you?"

The girl took off the hood on her head, revealing her refreshing short hair. Her face was a little dirty, but her appearance in the lower city could be called an alien.For a moment, both Zhang Cishun and Jing Shuo almost thought that she was no longer from the lower city.

"Uncle Nan asked me to give this to you." She slowly reached into her arms, and then took out a... letter!

Be good!You can still see letters in Xiacheng District!
The letter was well preserved, with no other dirt except for some creases that were obviously caused by rolling over while sleeping.

Jing Shuo reached out and took it, but did not open it.

"Who is Uncle Nan? There is no one named Nan or named Nan that we know."

"Mahou!" the little girl said as if she had thought of something.

"Who?"

"Mahou, Uncle Nan!" the little girl repeated.

When this name entered Zhang Cishun's ears, at a certain moment, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night.

Zhang Cishun took the letter from Jing Shuo and asked, "Is this what he left for us?"

The little girl nodded: "He said he would give it to you when you come back. If you don't come back, he would keep it to wait for an old man who comes north to rest in City No. 88."

"Is he alive?" Zhang Cishun paused as he opened the letter.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"What else did he tell you?"

"He also said, no, he also asked me to ask you...are you going out of the city? If you go out of the city, can you take me with you?"

Zhang Cishun didn't speak or answer. After looking at the little girl, he opened the letter and read the contents.

“Everything is fine when you see a word like a face.

I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry, I can't give you the answers.This is my 'qualified person ability', you can look at it this way.If it makes you feel better.

I have escaped my fate many times in my dreams, but the results were not good.So after making a difficult decision, I chose to face my fate.

Don't feel sorry for me, I wish you a safe journey.

By the way, this child is screaming. If possible, I hope she can go with you.If I have to give a reason to take her with me...she will be qualified in the future.

Very rare healing ability. "

The content of the letter is not long, and there are even a few smiling faces at the end.Zhang Cishun read this side silently, then turned it over and looked at the back side.

Yes, in addition to the front, there is also writing on the back.

But compared to the words on the front, the words on the back are much simpler.

"I sit on the lotus platform and see the Tathagata."

In just eight words, it seems to have said everything, but it also seems to have said nothing.Zhang Cishun felt that these eight words were not written to him and others, but to the old man who went north as mentioned before.

After thinking about it, Zhang Cishun handed the letter to Wen Yan and asked, "Use your ability to see if you can get any information."

Wen Yan nodded, but did not take the letter. She frowned, and after two or three breaths, she shook her head at Zhang Cishun.

"No, nothing."

"You called you Youyou?"

"Yeah." He nodded again.

"Are you literate?" Zhang Cishun asked again.

Then he shook his head: "I can't read, but I can write my name. My name was given to me by Uncle Nan, who said it was easy to write. It was Uncle Nan who taught me how to write my name."

Jing Shuo took this opportunity to glance at the letter Zhang Cishun brought over. After reading it, his face looked strange.

"I think it's too ridiculous." He said, looking at Wen Yan: "Your ability is quite ridiculous, and now here comes someone who is even more ridiculous. Do you think this is real or fake?"

"It's just one more person on the left and right. Take it with you." Zhang Cishun said.

"Thank you, uncle!" He wiped his face again and said with a smile.

-

There are only four gates in the fortress of City No. 88, and they went to the nearest one. The ones responsible for guarding the gates were the forces of the Wilderness Army.Wei Jin made a formal entry and exit permit for them. After being stopped by them, Zhang Ci showed the permit by the way.

The permission came through, but surprisingly, the floodgates did not open.

Instead, the Wilderness Army threw over several sets of equipment according to their number.

"Individual flying device:..."

"Use this, I'll teach you..."

Zhang Cishun put on the device with the help of the Wilderness Army and asked, "Why don't you open the door?"

"The door? It was broken a long time ago. It's not easy to repair, so that's why it's like this. Anyway, it doesn't get in the way." A wilderness soldier said gloomily.

The barrier was very high, but the individual flying device was quite powerful and brought them all outside the barrier without any danger.

And the reason why it was a near miss was entirely because there were children.

You can't expect a kid to fully control something like this.

It was never thought of being used for this purpose when it was first designed.

Jing Shuo has been looking at the outside world since he crossed the barrier.

But it is not as desolate as imagined. Even when looking down from a high altitude, you can clearly see the clearly divided fields.

But now these fields are buried by yellow sand.

Only an outline remains.

"Are there...so many people outside the city?" Jing Shuo said blankly.

The wilderness army who followed them looked at him like a fool: "You must be a fool to live in the city. These are the safe areas we have created. Of course there are people! In addition to people, there are also plants, which are all easy to feed. , it’s a pity that they are all destroyed now.”

"Are these people the Wilderness Army?"

"You mean them? Not all of them, only a small part. Most of the rest fled from other places. Some cities were destroyed and they were the only ones left to escape. Some got lost in the wilderness and mistakenly escaped. I ended up here by accident, so I decided to settle here."

"This way." The Wilderness Army took off their devices and put them away, leading them in one direction of the camp.

"We, the soldiers, can't decide what you want on your list. We have to go to the boss. But we may not be able to get it done, and the boss may not recognize it."

"why?"

"Yeah, everyone has their own difficulties, don't ask."

He waved his hand and became speechless.

The team fell silent. Zhang Cishun and the others looked at the scene outside the city, always feeling that the wilderness was not that dangerous after all.But looking at the full armor of the Wilderness Army wandering here, I feel like what I just felt was an illusion.

"Isn't the camp of the Wilderness Army at the junction of Zhongcheng District and Shangshang City? Why are there so many Wilderness Army outside the city? And the number seems to be more than inside the city at 01:30... Also, this gate is subject to their orders Does it mean it’s been broken for a long time? It’s impossible that the think tank doesn’t have the means to repair it, right?”

"This is not a difficult life." Jing Shuo whispered.

Zhang Cishun laughed softly and said, "Yeah, don't ask, everyone has their own difficulties."

Jing Shuo: "..."
