Since The Red Moon Appeared - Chapter 912
[Chapter 892 The City of Life]
The Church of Science and Technology, a mysterious organization that rose up on this land after the Red Moon Incident, was once regarded as a powerful organization on the same level as the Lunar Eclipse Research Institute. Its name has the word “technology”, which seems to believe in scientific principles, but in fact, it leaves an impression of mystery and horror, often showing the creepy truth under the normal appearance.
An electric light, for example, is something reassuring and accustomed to.
But the light bulbs created by the Church of Technology always have the ability to make people extremely obsessed and irrational.
Earlier, the Church of Science and Technology was rampant and arrogant. It sent missionaries to travel around, gathering gathering points or wandering crowds scattered on the land, and brought them back to the south in batches. Sometimes, they even attack the high-walled city.
The Qinggang area, which used to be relatively south, became their target, and a large number of residents were kidnapped.
It can be said that the first impression of the Tech Church is that they are wearing white robes, holding a glowing crystal ball and walking in front. Wherever they pass, everyone who encounters them seems to be confused. Drop everything and follow.
Mysterious, crazy, distant, but it seems to appear in front of me at any time…
This is the Tech Church, the impression it has always given.
However, in recent years, to be precise, it should have started about ten years ago, but the style of the Church of Science and Technology has suddenly changed.
They became more mysterious, more powerful, but more low-key.
There are very few such big moves that affect the world, and even rarely show up in normal times, just dormant in the south.
No one knows why the Tech Church suddenly has such a change.
However, this transformation has indeed helped the Tech Church, everyone knows it, but rarely regards him as an enemy.
He has always been in people’s memory, and seems to have been forgotten.
…
…
It stands to reason that there should be a lot of people in the tech church.
After all, ten years ago, he scavenged people from all over the world like crazy, forming terrifying numbers.
But just came to the radiation area of the Church of Science and Technology, but Lu Xin only saw the empty space.
Large tracts of wilderness are located on the ground, and even the common abandoned villages and towns cannot be seen before. There is only the same blue color as the original, covering the ground. Occasionally, you can see farms or neatly repaired roads or among them. For the whole world, it also seems pitiful. Coming here, it seems that people do not feel that they have come to a place in the name of technology.
Continue to walk forward, you can see the curved rails in the air.
They are like huge silk threads, crisscrossed, bypassing the vast wilderness, and then extending in a cluster to the distance, leading directly to the front under the white clouds. The city, it was a huge disc-shaped city with a huge circle in the middle and dozens of small rings around the center.
Those were the main city and the satellite city. People after the Red Moon Incident were used to seeing such a city layout.
It’s just that Lu Xin and these classmates, who are still traveling from south to north, have never seen it. There is such a large main city and so many satellite cities, which makes the concept of city they understand faintly. new heights.
city of life.
The largest high-walled city within the radiation influence of the Church of Technology.
To a certain extent, it is also the core of the tech church, and it is also the experimental field of the tech church.
A super city with a population of over 100 million.
Everyone has heard it more or less before, but I never thought that seeing it with my own eyes would be so shocking.
dirty dirty…
The ghost train drove directly into the air rails, pulled up the flute, and walked straight to the city of life in front of it. Because it was originally a product of the spiritual level, the ghost train deliberately emitted its own spiritual radiation, so that ordinary people could see it. When such a train is coming far away, otherwise, there will always be a strange creature that sneaks into a certain place in silence.
This is what Lu Xin doesn’t like.
Because this was a party, I and my classmates came here in an upright manner.
Of course, radiation was emitted in advance, which also caused layers of distortions in the air after the ghost train passed by.
The huge deterrent force spread far and wide, and it looked like a menacing force.
“Whoa… Whoa… Whoa…”
As the ghost train swiftly moved forward along the rails, the steel suspension bridge connecting the rails in the city of life quickly reacted very far away. A rough and hoarse alarm sounded, and countless red lights sent to the defenders of the city. A danger signal was sent.
The huge metal fortress, spinning heavily and slowly, looked up, and the huge muzzle was aimed at the ghost train.
“Don’t panic, we have no hostility and are here to find our teacher.”
In the ghost train, everyone could not help but be a little nervous facing the dark muzzle.
Fourteen suddenly raised his head and said to the air in front of him.
He was talking in the carriage, but it seemed that the City of Life Guard Armed Forces heard it, which was still dozens of kilometers away, and did not fire immediately until the ghost train was getting closer and closer to the City of Life, and the forts were still strong. The real guard was at the city gate. As the distance between the two sides approached, the meaning of the sword drawing became stronger and stronger, as if the floor was full of gasoline, just one point…
“Let them in!”
But just as the atmosphere was tightened to the extreme as the ghost train approached, at the steel suspension bridge, a middle-aged man wearing a large black cap and his armband showing that he was the person in charge of the steel suspension bridge suddenly murmured. Open your mouth and give the order.
A group of defenders suddenly looked at each other, and then slowly put away the defense equipment.
The dignified and indifferent person in charge turned around with a cigar in his mouth, and looked at the train indifferently.
Then, he suddenly grinned: “Does anyone remember me?”
…
…
The people on the train had already stood up at this time, looked at the people under the steel suspension bridge in front, and looked at each other.
At this time, in Lu Xin’s field of vision, he could clearly see the tall and strong non-commissioned officer with a face that did not match his figure. It seemed that two faces were superimposed on each other, one was resolute and indifferent, the other One is a cold joke.
number seven.
Even if other people can’t see it directly like Lu Xin, they must have their own identification methods.
Everyone basically recognized the man.
However, even if he recognized it, he still felt a little embarrassed.
This is someone who grew up with her, but No. 7 has always been a unique and special person. She once told the old dean and the others when they were about to escape when they were young, and when she was in the orphanage, she It is also a person who is not close to other people, does not leave any good feelings for each other, and even says that only in the opposite direction, leaving each other with disgust.
She is the betrayal of the orphanage and the one who is willing to stay by the old dean’s side.
But she is still one of her classmates.
Every child in a lonely courtyard, remembering the past, will emerge a person.
In such complicated emotions, Lu Xin stood up.
He looked at No. 7, who was standing under the steel suspension bridge with a cigar and a lazy expression, and nodded.
“Where is the dean?”
“…”
No. 7 raised his head slightly, glanced at Lu Xin, and suddenly shook his head slightly.
She met Lu Xin’s gaze, and seemed not to mind his indifference and the danger.
On the contrary, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
“If you want to kill me, wait, now I’m here to pick you up…”
She suddenly smiled, then got up and boarded the ghost train.
Passed by Lu Xin’s side, walked into the carriage of the train, and then jokingly glanced at everyone in the carriage, shook his head with a smile, and said, “I didn’t expect this time. To be able to get together like this, I originally planned to let you transfer to my car and pick you up specially, but seeing that you have prepared so many things, then forget it…”
Her eyes swept across the compartment, intentionally or unintentionally.
There is everyone’s luggage there, such as a section of the No. 5 carriage, my sister’s luggage, and other things.
These are all gifts for the old dean.
No. 7 saw this calmly, but didn’t care much, and sat down in a seat as if nothing had happened.
He smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lu Xin, while Lu Xin glanced at No. 7, then nodded.
If it was placed before, if I saw No. 7, I might shoot directly.
But now, before seeing the old dean, Lu Xin can only hold back for now, this is not a good time to take action.
“I’m so sorry…”
When the ghost train crossed the steel suspension bridge and entered a light rail leading to satellite city No. 12 under the guidance of No. 7, No. 7 smiled helplessly, breaking the silence in this car without anyone talking, his eyes Looking at the crowd, he said:
“Anyway, it’s someone who grew up together. I haven’t seen each other for so many years, so no one wants to say something to me?”
“…”
Most of the people in the carriage were still silent, not knowing how to face No. 7’s enthusiasm.
After a while, No. 5 suddenly laughed and said, “What did you say?”
“I’m sorry to see you’re still alive now?”
“…”
No. 7 giggled a few times, turned to look at No. 5, and said, “No. 5, you still look so annoying.”
Then, she turned around again, glanced at the other people in the carriage, and said, “I know you don’t like me.”
“But it’s okay, I hate you guys too.”
“…”
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly many people smiled, or nodded, or looked at No. 7.
When this candid attitude came out, everyone felt much more comfortable.
“No. 7, I heard that you recently went to the wilderness to become a robber?”
“It’s nothing to be a knight, but you have been doing business for so many years, have you made any money?”
“I have a project to develop a new drug here. Would you like to invest a dozen or two billion?”
“Bah, I don’t even have a dozen or two billion. How did you get here after so many years…”
“The old dean seemed to bother you before, is it better now?”
“…”
No. 7 sat in the seat calmly, smiling, spraying the smell of cigars all over the carriage:
“I’m really useless, really.”
“I betrayed your ridiculous escape plan back then, and I didn’t get any reward.”
“I died like you, and I came back to life.”
“I didn’t leave the old dean, but I didn’t get any benefits. On the contrary, he was more and more strict. I used to kill anyone I wanted to kill. Personally, do you still need to apply first?”
“Alas, and after playing for him for so many years, he hasn’t gotten better at me at all, and he has taken more care of the newcomer than me.”
“You guys are really good, you all left the old dean at the right time…”
“Some people have infiltrated the upper floors of the high-walled city, some people have formed a decent family, and some people clearly failed in eight of the nine subjects when they were in the orphanage. For scientific research, hehe…”
“However, you guys are doing so well, why are you so nervous now that you’re about to see the dean?”
“You have escaped for so many years, why did the old dean come back after saying a word?”
“Hehe, in recent years, I sometimes think of you guys too. I’m thinking, what’s the biggest difference between me and you?”
“Why does the dean always think that you, or some of you, are better than me?”
“But I understand now, maybe the difference between us is not that big, just like, you who wanted to escape or resist the dean from the beginning, and now you are back, you feel that you have a greater hope of breaking free, and you are still at your mercy. Maybe bigger?”
“…”
“…”
Lu Xin looked out of the car window during the warm and friendly discussion of his classmates whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
What caught his eyes was the prosperity and liveliness of the city of life.
All this is beyond Lu Xin’s imagination, because this city feels very normal.
Normal to ridiculous.
After the Red Moon Incident, even cities like Qinggang City and Central City will inevitably have a hint of decadence, but this city of life is constantly flowing, with high-rise buildings, countless people, busy lives in on their respective tracks.
If I had to use one description, it would be that this city gave Lu Xin a feeling of returning to the pre-Red Moon event.
Back in the orphanage, the old dean often told them about the pre-civilization era before the Red Moon Incident, about the prosperity at that time, the wealth at that time, the stability and order at that time, all kinds of entertainment and all kinds of fun at that time. It is precisely this recounting over and over again that almost everyone in the orphanage yearns for this kind of life, and all have obsessions with the pre-civilization era.
They are all children born after the Red Moon event.
But the education of the old dean gave them a brand that was only available in the pre-civilization era.
This imprint also formed an intuition.
At this time, when Lu Xin saw this city of life, he couldn’t help but have a feeling.
This is more like a pre-civilization than a world under a red moon.
Is the Techno-Church so developed that it reproduces the prosperity and abundance of the pre-civilization era?
Or did the idea of the old dean also affect the development of the city?
Lu Xin had very complicated emotions in his heart. If he didn’t take the old dean’s factors into consideration, he would admit it without hesitation.
I like this city and the life it represents.
This even surpassed the liking that Qinggang brought him…
…
…
“Dudududu…”
Just when the ghost train went straight along the light rail and rushed into the No. 12 satellite city of the City of Life, the unique spiritual radiation of this spiritual monster also quickly caused a series of changes. As the train approached, it turned red.
A drone that looked like a disc flew out from the surrounding buildings, lined up left and right, and stopped in front of the train.
Although No. 7 helped Lu Xin and others pass the steel suspension bridge of the first line of defense just now, the way she parasitized in the commander’s body and gave orders to let go still seems to be unable to deceive the defense system of the City of Life, so in the After the ghost train entered the satellite city, it immediately triggered the second layer of defense alarm. On the drone, a blue electric arc was faintly condensed.
Inside the train, everyone was slightly surprised. Could it be that this was still a trap?
Old Dean, as for using such a simple routine?
On the other hand, No. 7 in the train was still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, letting the drones come around.
Immediately followed by an unexpected scene, these drones scanned around the ghost train, and then suddenly retreated at the same time. Following the original flight route, they returned to the building they flew out of, like a group of people returning home at night. flying birds.
But next to the train, the crowd changed.
In this city, all the people, whether they are on the street, in a moving vehicle, standing on the tall office buildings around, or cleaning by the roadside, all straightened their waists at the same time. Turning his back, his eyes turned towards the ghost train, and then his eyes gradually showed a moving emotion, his smile gradually bloomed, and he waved his hands gently towards them.
At a glance, they were full of people. They stopped their movements and waved their hands in a friendly manner.
Such a scene is somewhat terrifying.
“nothing.”
No. 7 and other doubts enveloped the people in the carriage, and then explained with a smile: “It’s just an old acquaintance who came to say hello.”
Old acquaintance?
In the carriage, everyone stopped talking, but they couldn’t hide their doubts.
No. 7 didn’t mean to explain, just stood up slowly and said, “The old dean’s house is just ahead.”
“It’s actually here?”
The people in the carriage got up at the same time, looked out through the window.
Now, they came to the side of an ordinary residential area in a satellite city. Surprisingly, he came all the way and saw the prosperity of the main city of the city of life, as well as the lively places in this satellite city, and also saw a large number of armed forces All kinds of confidential places to defend, but now they came to a place that was ordinary, even a bit shabby.
Does the old dean live here?
It’s just that he lives in a satellite city. Even in a satellite city, he lives in such an ordinary place?
“Are you going upstairs with these ‘gifts’?”
No. 7 got out of the car first, then tilted his body and fell to the ground. Not long after, a woman came out of the community. She was wearing a navel-baring outfit, with scars around her waist, and a pair of camouflage pants. The boots are exactly the body of No. 7.
She folded her arms in her arms and looked at Lu Xin and the others with a half-smile.
“No……”
Lu Xin pondered for a moment, shook his head, and made suggestions to these students.
Then he was the first to get off the train. Just as he was about to enter the community, he retreated and walked to the grocery store at the gate of the community.
Bought some fruit.
“Let’s go.”
I felt that I had to bring something up anyway, so I felt at ease, and said to No. 7 with a smile.
No. 7 gave Lu Xin a strange look, and after a while, he said, “No wonder the old dean likes you so much.”
The group followed No. 7 into the community, and the more they went inside, the more uneasy they felt.
I looked around subconsciously, wanting to see some dangerous or weird things, but I was disappointed. Whether it was the people or the layout, it could be seen that this community was so ordinary, there were no spiritual monsters. , and there are no high-tech devices disguised as ordinary things, and even they have not seen any decent security and armed forces.
This is an ordinary to almost completely undefended place.
But because everyone knew that the old dean was here, they couldn’t help but worry more and more.
“I said, shall we just go in like this?”
No. 14’s chattering voice rang out in each other’s minds: “Why do I feel like I’m being led into a trap?”
“Let’s meet the old dean later, shall we do it directly or reminisce?”
“…”
The special ability of No. 14 has built a channel of spiritual communication for everyone, and there is room for whispered discussions. Among them, No. 5’s voice is the most serious: “The old dean is too smart, he always puts everything It is expected, so even if we listen to him a little more, we may fall for him, my opinion is… After we meet, let’s do it directly, shall we?”
“What’s the matter that can’t be left to his grave?”
“…”
No. 3 objected lightly: “If he is so smart, how could he not have thought of the possibility of us meeting directly?”
“Besides, don’t you have anything to ask him?”
“…”
No. 8 couldn’t help but interject, and said, “Maybe there is no need to ask anything else, everyone understands it in their hearts, but why did he rescue us? In the original orphanage, besides us, was there anyone else alive? These are Maybe he’s the only one who knows…”
Everyone was talking nervously, and then out of control, they approached the building in the community.
Seven led them down the narrow corridor, ascended the fourth floor, then turned left and stood in front of a door.
Room 401.
Then No. 7 looked back at everyone, suddenly smiled, and knocked on the door.
When the knock on the door rang, everyone fell silent.
Slightly nervous, it stretched everyone’s nerves like a drawn bow, all the messy thoughts in their hearts were swept away at this moment, and everyone looked at the door that knocked on No. 7, all their attention was focused on. On the top, some people clenched their fists subconsciously, some pupils began to shrink slightly, and some people have stretched their palms to their back waist, ready to pull out something.
Then, with a soft click, the door opened.
There was a sudden breeze in the corridor, which was caused by the tense spirit of countless people, which suddenly affected the air.
Everyone’s nervousness and killing intent almost poured into the door.
But when it really came to the person who opened the door, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
…
…
Surprisingly, it was a woman who opened the door.
She looks rather ordinary, wearing a loose home-made clothes, with a gentle and happy expression on her face, slightly surprised to look at these people outside the door, and hurriedly smiled and let go inside: “Aiya, who are you? The children of the orphanage, right?”
“Come on, come on, your teacher has been waiting for you for a long time…”
“…”
Looking at this gentle and polite woman, everyone froze outside the door.
Even if it was No. 5 and Little Nineteen who planned to start immediately as soon as they entered the room, it was the same.
They didn’t expect it, how could it be such a person who opened the door?
“come in……”
Seeing the surprise of Lu Xin and others, No. 7 walked through the door first, taking off his boots and changing into slippers at the same time.
Turning his head to admire the expressions of Lu Xin and others, he smiled and said, “Maybe you haven’t seen it before, this is our mistress, her surname is Chen, the dean is usually very fierce to us, but at home he is very afraid of her. Oh…of course, it’s not my wife’s fault, she’s the most gentle person in the world.”
“Mistress…”
Looking at the woman standing by the door, eagerly waiting for them to come in, everyone was slightly stunned.
“Qijieqijie, are they all here?”
Before they could react, another voice suddenly sounded, and two small figures crashed into No. 7’s arms.
It was a boy and a girl with two children, one was eight or nine years old, and the other was eleven or twelve years old.
They seemed a little shy and curious, and secretly looked at Lu Xin and others at the door, their eyes shining brightly.
“Come on…”
No. 7 hugged the two children, and then introduced to Lu Xin and others: “These two are the dean’s children.”
“The girl’s name is Tutu, and the boy’s name is Wangwang, so naughty…”
“…”
“…”
When the two children heard No. 7 say they were naughty, they immediately refused, and got into No. 7’s arms to fight.
A gentle and kind woman stood by the door and invited Lu Xin and others to come in.
But Lu Xin and others who were standing outside the door were suddenly stunned. They hadn’t taken this step for a long time. Their emotions were up and down, and they even had a cool feeling, which captured their hearts and made their thinking, It was as if they were frozen at this moment.
The old dean’s wife and children…
Yes, it is indeed them. The children of the orphanage know the existence of these few people and have seen their photos.
But weren’t they dead when the red moon event broke out?
Guys, today is the last day of 2021.
First of all, I would like to thank [Goddess Tongtang] for the golden alliance, [Yuer Qitian], [MISS], [Leaves of Grass], [Goddess Sisi], and [Similu] for the crowd-funded silver, [Dream is no longer sunny. ], the silver of [Qingqing’s Kiss], and the leader of the alliance…Fuck, it’s just too rowdy.
The old ghost was a little excited. He wrote the ending, and his inspiration was bursting. Yesterday, he wrote more than 20,000 words a day.
Originally, I was thinking about whether to keep it for a while, and do a lot of intensive repairs, but I felt that this part was done in one go. Forget it. After intensive repairing, I will send it all out. If there are problems, I will repair it afterwards. In short, let everyone enjoy it first…
…Simply put, the problem is that we exploded today.
At least blow an eagle!
So, on the last day of 2021, can you help the red moon top?
