Chapter 34 Race against the clock

The old man and I sat around a round table, enjoying the hard-won victory. I thought that this should be considered as completing the mission, and all that needed to be waited for was the final ending.

In my spare time, I am also happy to get up and chat casually with the elderly.

"Hello, I haven't formally introduced you yet. I am Li Feng. I come from a relatively distant planet. I was thrown here for some complicated reasons. I don't know if you will believe it yet."

After Li Feng said this, he felt ridiculous. He remembered that everything the system said before was virtual. Why did he have to tell so much to a virtual character? He could just find a few lies and cover it up.

"Believe it, I believe it. After such a big thing happened, I believe it even if aliens come to attack me. Alas, you don't know how I have lived in the past three years. There is no one to talk to, and there are no pigs, cattle or sheep in the civilian areas.

The only living animals are basic plant crops, and some are just a cat I brought. But it also passed away last year. It was so boring that I don’t even remember how I came here. I miss my granddaughter so much.”

As he spoke, he shed tears and quickly wiped them with the corner of his clothes, while saying words like "I'm sorry".

"Did your granddaughter just go to another shelter?"

"Yes, I also learned later that a long time ago, technology had reached a sufficient level, and shelters were built in many places for some unpredictable disasters. The purpose was to allow human beings to survive before the various doomsdays.

.I don’t understand anything else. I only know what they say about technology that has already matured and recycling.”

"It's an underground ecosystem cycle. This technology has also been studied on my planet, but the most experiment only failed in the third year."

Li Feng added that it was still difficult for such an old man to understand this principle, but he still admired that the technology here was much more advanced than the earth where he was. He had seen similar experiments on the earth before, but this time

The experiment failed due to the incoordination caused by the large-scale death of a certain species in three years. It seems that the technology here is quite mature.

"Yes, it's what kind of cycle you're talking about. I didn't know until I arrived for the evacuation that many shelters had been established because of this technology. They said they gave me three tickets because of my outstanding contribution, but I'm worried about my children.

, I gave all the tickets to them, and I found the ticket for this civilian shelter that my old friend in the city wanted to come to. As a result, when I arrived, the door was open and I was the only one who came. In this way, I didn’t wait for a human until the end.

arrival."

"Then can you, old man, finish the work inside by yourself?"

Li Feng was very curious. Although it was a cycle, one person would definitely not be able to coordinate it. Sooner or later, everything here would be consumed.

"We can't finish it, we can't finish it. But the reserves here are too big for me alone. It's enough for me as an old man to farm when I have time. I'll make you a cup of coffee later."

After saying that, he stood up and picked up the cup next to him, watched the coffee powder being poured in, and then poured in boiling hot water, and a strong aroma of coffee wafted up.

It smells so good. For Li Feng, who has not slept for a long time and has been tense all the time, this moment seems extremely warm.

"Thank you, I was still thinking about not causing you any trouble."

Taking the coffee cup that was passed to me, I didn't enjoy the scalding hot water inside for a moment, I just held it and felt the warmth.

"Why bother? It's enough for someone to talk to me. I said, young man, since you saw my notes, why did you come here and not go to that high-end shelter first?"

The biggest problem was thrown at him, and it looked like the old man's only hope to make his eyes bright. Li Feng really couldn't bear to pour cold water on it.

"It's like this. I went there. However, it seems that there are a lot of ordinary people there, so the resources are relatively scarce and it is not convenient for outsiders to join. So they recommended it to me, and then I rushed there."

Li Feng decided to tell a lie. He felt that lying had become a habit since the advent of this game. He was saying unintentional words everywhere, but then he thought that the other party was virtual and might be somewhere where he really existed.

It has been completely destroyed long ago, and being able to comfort myself with temporary happiness can be regarded as an answer to my heart. I believe that after I leave, all the illusions here will turn into a passing cloud.

"That's it, that's good, that's good. It seems that they are all safe, so I said we should work hard to live together. When these damn things outside disappear, old man, I still hope to see them. Young man, wait for me

When you see them, they must help you vent your dissatisfaction. Why won't you be allowed in? I'm going to tell you."

Listening to Li Feng's reply, the old man muttered rejoicing, and tears seemed to ooze out of his eyes again. He felt a little sad with nostalgia, and smiled with relief. Finally, he cheered up and did not forget to give Li Feng the car that belonged to them.

The joke of this generation.

"Haha, then it will be thanks to you, old man, that you can help me complain about injustice."

He continued to conceal this information in a careless manner.

"By the way, young man, your name is Li Feng? I suddenly remembered that there is a treasure box here. Let's play a game. If you can answer my questions, I will give this treasure box to you. How about,

Young man, it’s strange why I have such thoughts.”

The old man suddenly changed his face and started discussing with Li Feng in a playful manner. Then he suddenly asked himself with a confused look on his face. He didn't know if Li Feng knew it. He didn't need to think that this must be part of the reward, no?

An accident will be the side hidden mission this time.

"You can ask, maybe you've been here for too long and want someone to have fun with."

Li Feng was desperately trying to bring up the topic, as if to help the system smooth over this forced drama.

"Well, I don't want to, young man, can you see all the aspects of this incident, including the true identity of the toxin outside, as well as all the inducements and processes. Based on what you say, I will judge whether it meets the standard."

Sure enough, it was this kind of problem. Things that should have been clearer were hiding key words in many key places. With only a few clues, Li Feng had already guessed that there should be such decryption elements in the end, and the same was true.

Just waiting for this question.

"Old man, I just passed by this place occasionally. I can't guarantee that it is completely correct. I can only express my guess."

To be on the safe side, it's better to be polite. Who knows if there will be any punishment if you make the other party angry.

"I just directly guessed the cause of the toxins outside, and its name is radiation."

He expressed his most confident guesses word by word. When he looked up, the old man showed a slight smile and he put down a large stone. Whether it was mutations or various disease news, Li Feng had guessed about the radiation early on, but

What I saw later made me even more sure. This is also the point I am most confident about. I can only guess from other places, including the newspaper in the old man's office in front of me, which is the mayor's office.

guessed.

"In recent years, other countries have developed very closely with this country, and this country as the center seems to have suddenly been loved by all countries. It has received huge help in terms of economy and technology, but all this must have a price, and no one can

I would be kind enough to help. According to my guess, the price is that in this place where science and technology are developing rapidly, all countries have a large amount of nuclear waste, and the way to deal with these difficult-to-treat nuclear waste is to bury it in a mysterious location not far from Q City.

Or rather a very large location.”

"Later, citizens in many places complained that large trucks often passed by transporting these vehicles, and that the prosperity and development of Q City came at the expense of burying them. In this way, for at least ten years, and I don't know how long, there should be quite a huge amount of nuclear waste.

Heap, or to the extent that it makes people feel horrified when they see it. I thought everything would be fine, but an earthquake leaked all the nuclear waste in the burial place, which immediately made many citizens of Q city sick, and then spread to the outside world.

The spread will eventually lead to everywhere being filled with a large amount of harmful radiation, which cannot be eliminated in a short time."

"The people at the top must have known about it early on, and then there was a series of physical examinations, blockades, and letting people into the shelters. It even included some things that happened in high-level shelters and low-level shelters."

Li Feng is not telling the story later. Since he has been deceived, there is no need to tell the tragedy that happened at the high-end shelter, because everyone on the two sides acted for their own selfish reasons and caused the tragedy that caused everyone to die. Believe what you said.

These are enough details, and I am quietly waiting for the other party's judgment.

"Hahaha, well said, well said. Basically everything is correct. I can only say that their burial site was a huge lake at the beginning, but after filling it up, they did not think of any consequences. It still spread and accumulated nearby, and eventually there was

One day I reaped the consequences of what I sown. Boy, as a system, I will ask you one last question. Who do you think was wrong this time? In terms of all aspects of people and things, big and small, who was wrong?"

When he said the last sentence, he suddenly changed his tone. It was obvious that the system had completely controlled the opponent's body for the final test.

To develop, waste will inevitably be produced. Are humans wrong? Wrong, because they are too greedy, but are they completely wrong? No, everyone is eager for the development of the times. What to do in which position. High-level shelter incident, powerful people

Is it wrong? No, everyone has selfish motives and hopes that they and the people around them will live a better life. They are just the most common egoism, but they also bring misery to ordinary people. Anyone sitting in that position will probably turn to

Are ordinary people wrong? No. Everyone has the right to pursue equality and survival, including enjoyment and work. They just want to get their share of justice. But both parties are just completely normal egoists.

There is always another idea of ​​​​changing the position, which leads to the final tragedy.

"I have no idea"

For a long time, I honestly expressed my confusion. I didn’t know what the other party wanted to hear about which side was wrong and which side was right. Some of them only had my own confusion and troubles that I have never had before.

"I know your answer. This game will end later. Please enjoy your last cup of coffee."

After the old man controlled by the system said his last words, he slowly walked out of the room, leaving only Li Feng lying quietly on the recliner.

Looking at the nearly dry blood bar above his head and feeling the temperature of the coffee in his hand, the fatigue and drowsiness caused by two days of running finally began to hit him, and his eyes couldn't stop fighting.
Chapter completed!
