Liang Jin already has a certain network of contacts in the base. In nearly half a year, she has a lot of confidant subordinates in the medical department, and most of the people who have been restored to health after her treatment also have good personal relationships with her. This allowed her investigation to come to a conclusion faster than Lin Li, and the result surprised her. Rumors in the base have reached the point of overflowing. No one said this in public, but in private, no one could stop them from talking and speculating about Lin Chuan's secrets. Chu Zhongtian's words gave people a direction to speculate. Based on the information he revealed, people who had nothing to do after work at night used their imagination to make up more talk. After spreading rumors, many rumors developed into Even the original fabricator couldn't see them for what they were, but was suspicious of them. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the original rumor came from Chu Zhongtian. Liang Jin immediately found Chu Zhongtian. "Did you tell the news?" Unable to contain her panic and worry, she called Chu Zhongtian to an office alone. Chu Zhongtian was silent. The two had worked together for nearly two years and knew each other very well. He knew very well that Liang Jin must have come to a conclusion when she came to him. "Are you crazy?" Liang Jin couldn't help but raise her voice. "Didn't I tell you that you must not reveal anything about him to anyone?" Chu Zhongtian still didn't speak, but looked at Liang Jin silently. Having no conditions for care for a long time made her skin look much worse than before. The boring work day and night for many consecutive days also made her look a little haggard, but she was still so beautiful that people were fascinated by it. After throwing away her previous identity and cold pretense, Chu Zhongtian became even more obsessed with her bare face. But what he knew more clearly was that he was further away from her. The distance between them before the end was their position and the indifference deliberately shown by Liang Jin. Although it was difficult, he was slowly being drawn in. But at this time, he had become a disabled person and was shelved by the base. In his opinion, he had completely lost any hope of continuing to pursue her. Do you regret it? He seemed to hear Leng Suan's voice. When the base was first established, among the hundreds of single girls rescued, almost all the managers found their partners through half-force and half-pursuit, and a few went too far and even possessed several girls at the same time. At that time, Leng Suan had encouraged him, and under such circumstances, it was natural for him to possess Liang Jin. ¡°Perhaps she will be angry and resist, but in the end, like other girls, she will have to face reality and compromise with this completely different world. But his pride made him disdain to do such a thing. After the apocalypse broke people's previous identities and social relationships, he never had any doubts about his success. Whether it was Liang Jin or the base, he firmly believed that he could will be successful. And he is also moving towards success step by step. He just didn¡¯t expect the existence of Lin Chuan, and he didn¡¯t expect the changes that happened to him. Liang Jin was still talking nonchalantly, and Chu Zhongtian didn't listen to a word of her words. He looked at her anxious and worried expression in rapt attention, and suddenly laughed to himself. "Why are you laughing?" Liang Jin asked angrily. "What are you worried about?" Chu Zhongtian asked. "Are you worried that Lin Chuan will kill me? Or are you worried that you will be implicated?" Liang Jin did not expect that he would say such vicious words and looked at him in surprise. "I'm just telling the facts." Chu Zhongtian said indifferently. "Someone has to do this. People are not captive animals. Facing monsters like Lin Chuan, they have the right to know the truth." "What truth are you talking about! Don't you know what will happen after these things are revealed? What are the consequences?" Liang Jin became angry. Chu Zhongtian's changes made her heartbroken. She watched him become decadent day by day, but she couldn't cheer him up. "I can't control how others spread rumors, but what I said is true." Chu Zhongtian stood up. "Who asked you to come? Li Mingfeng? Leng Su'an? Or Lin Chuan? Anyway, I have already said it, and no one can take it back. You can kill them or chop them up. I am a cripple and I can't run anywhere. Go." "Don't worry." He laughed. "I won't drag you down." "Chu Zhongtian!" Liang Jin shouted loudly, but he opened the door and walked out without hesitation. Liang Jin covered her mouth with one hand, tears finally flowing out uncontrollably. After a long time, someone knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.  Liang Jin wiped away her tears in a panic. The person who came in was Lin Li. He smiled at her and said, "Sorry to disturb you, but if he doesn't go to Lin Chuan, he will become suspicious." Liang Jin nodded and stood up. , followed him outside. "Do you want to talk after Lin Chuan goes out in the evening?" Lin Li asked. "Purely personal?" Liang Jin slowed down his steps and nodded silently. ? ****** ? The hour and minute hands coincided at the zero position again. Lin Li yawned greatly, and tears flowed out involuntarily. Lin Chuan looked at him and closed the information in his hand. ¡°That¡¯s it for today.¡± He said a little irritably. "I'm going out. We'll meet again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Li nodded, while Liang Jin quickly wrote the last few words in his notes in silence, then stood up and simply packed his things. "I'm leaving first." Lin Chuan said to them, opened the door and walked out towards the exit. After being immersed in these things for nearly a month, it was difficult to say what he had gained. This made Lin Chuan feel depressed day by day, and the topic of the Spring Festival that Leng Suan brought up during the day made his depression even worse. . The base has slowly gotten back on track, which is inseparable from his daily outing, but Lin Chuan cannot get any sense of accomplishment from it. Everything was planned and implemented by Leng Suan and Li Mingfeng respectively. Lin Chuan always felt that he did not play a key role. His power slowly became stronger as he hunted mutants night after night, which made him always feel that he should do something, but he could never find the answer, so he had to spend his time studying Wang Zhi. superior. The more he studied Wang Zhi, the more confused he became, and the sense of fate became heavier. After peeling away the things behind those cold and simple words, he was slowly able to understand what Wang Zhi was facing. The fates they face are completely different. What Lin Chuan is facing is a world where order has collapsed, a world where human power is irresistible and where everything is precarious. In such a world where monsters are rampant, although people are afraid of the power he possesses, they are more eager to get the hope of survival he brings. People cannot reject his existence. On the contrary, he has already become an indispensable existence. Everyone had to respect his opinion, and he was undoubtedly the leader of the team because of his abilities. But Wang Zhi is completely different. He lives in a highly ordered society. Such a world cannot tolerate the existence of any factors that may affect social stability. But Wang Zhi was strongly dissatisfied with the status quo of society and longed for change. When he gained the power to change society according to his ideals and put it into practice, he inevitably collided with the force that maintained stability. They chose to destroy him without hesitation, and when they found that they could not destroy him, they chose to use, betray and destroy him again and again. Huang Yuan, Liu Ziyuan, and Li Yaoyao, these people who have a close relationship with him and seem to understand him and are willing to help him, may never really agree with him deep down. They could not help but regard him as an alien. All their efforts were just to control him in a relatively stable system and use his power to achieve noble or despicable purposes. Wang Zhi is pathetic. He never knows who he can trust or where he should go. Behind those seemingly wanton and arbitrary actions, Lin Chuan only saw a confused and lonely soul. But why isn¡¯t he? People's attitudes when facing him became more and more weird and cautious. From their eyes, Lin Chuan could only see fear and suspicion. Even those companions who had experienced life and death with him gradually changed and became like strangers. If there were no better options, maybe they would not choose to live with him at all. Will one day I become like Wang Zhi? Lin Chuan has been asking himself, but has been unwilling to think about the answer to the question. He walked along the ceiling to avoid those who were still patrolling the tunnel, quickly passed through the tunnel, and then plunged into the endless night. Something was whining not far away. He grabbed a metal rod and rushed towards it, piercing its head, then grabbing its forelimbs and throwing it far away. Go to Jiangkou again? This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but his feet moved forward quickly without stopping. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?It was four hundred kilometers to Jiangkou. This distance was only two hours away for him, but the results of countless searches only made him more desperate. He clearly knew that there was no hope, but the longing for his parents, relatives and friends drove him to return to his hometown again and again. Perhaps only his parents would not alienate him or doubt him because of any changes in him. Only they would Believe him without reservation and think about him. Such feelings become stronger and stronger as the attitudes of the people in the base change. They cannot be contained or driven away. The warm home in his memory has long been in ruins, and even the shape of the house can no longer be seen. He cannot trace any trace of his parents' breath. After countless searches, he failed to find any survivors, and even monsters were rarely seen there. The monster wave has long since left, leaving only the ruins of countless killings and destruction. Jiangkou City, which once had a population of four million, has long been a dead city after the monster wave. The only creatures Lin Chuan has seen there are birds and Insects, but even they have become few and far between when hunted by monsters. The only thing he could do was to dig out bits and pieces of things he remembered as belonging to his home from the ruins, and carefully place them in a relatively intact house next to him. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't piece together any more belongings that belonged to his family. The smell of home. A mutated bat flew silently from above. Lin Chuan deftly avoided its sharp claws, grabbed them casually, picked them up and slammed them against the side wall. The mutated bat turned into a puddle of flesh amid the ear-piercing screams. Lin Chuan stopped and looked at it indifferently, then turned around and ran towards the river mouth. One last time. He said to himself. the last time. He said again, the pace of his feet getting faster and faster.
