Section 724: Talks (2)
The enlightenment for the five children went very smoothly. At the end of the first day, the five children could already start talking. This made Shen Wansan express his opinion about what Ma Lin said that there would be a group of people who would come to seek refuge. A certain amount of doubt.
·Sir, is it true what you said? These children are very good.
Shen Wansan's tribe was a loser - they were driven out of their previous habitat by other tribes, and their tribe mother was killed. He tried his best to bring out the tribe mother's little daughter, who needed a long life. It takes only a certain amount of time to grow into a new generation of clan mother. If it were not for the guidance of the old dean, it would be almost impossible for their clan to wait until this girl matures.
Because of this, he expressed some concern that these three boys and two girls could grow up so quickly - being able to have such outstanding children proved that these children had the blood of their mother and were the offspring of the strongest parents.
"It's nothing. We have the Pioneer Corps. We have already gone to war with that ethnic group and they failed. Because of this, the sensible elders among them have the opportunity to cooperate with us." Marin expressed optimism about the prospects of cooperation.
On the night of the third day, Marin was preparing to take the children back to the camp. Hearing that almost the entire attack force of his own group had been lost in the battle with humans, Shen Wansan, who had been silent for almost a day, prepared to go back to the camp in Marin. When leaving with the child, the leader of the awakened ones spoke.
"Your Excellency...will one day humans come to take back this land, and we will become homeless ghosts again?"
This was the first time that an awakened leader used his vocal cords to speak. He looked at Marin, his uneasy face full of hesitation and fear about the uncertainty of the future.
"As long as you admit that you are humans and integrate into human society, I believe that the Tainan people will not make things difficult for you." Marin has confidence in the Tainan people. You see, whether they are elves or halflings, even orcs and dwarfs, As long as he recognizes the Thai culture, he is a standard Thai person.
"Really...is this really okay? Can we really live together with humans?"
"Yes, I believe that one day, and in order for this day to come sooner, you should do what you can." Marin said this and walked up to the leader: "Look, your surname is Shen. My surname is Ma, and the sage working in the workshop over there is surnamed Duanmu. These are the names of Southern Tainan people. Although we don’t look similar to ordinary humans, we are all Tainan people. We all believe that there is justice in this land, we all have things we want to protect, and we all believe that the world has not reached its end yet... Shen Wansan, my friend, although we have known each other for a short time, but Please believe in mankind. The future world will definitely be a world where all of us who believe that this world can be saved will unite and survive. This world is so big, and beyond the planet under our feet, there is such a big universe. There are countless planets as habitable as the one beneath our feet, with room for all of us.”
Having said this, Marin stretched out his hand.
"...You mean, the stars in the sky." The leader raised his head and looked at the stardust in the night sky.
Without light and industrial pollution, the night sky of this world is so pure that one can observe the entire cantilever of the Milky Way, and a long river of countless stars hanging high in the night sky.
"Yes, the stars in the sky, maybe at the other end of the distant universe, there are planets similar to the planets under our feet, and there are no lives like us on them... Shen Wansan, think about it, maybe one day, you The descendant will become an astronaut, wear special clothes, and fly to that planet with his human companions."
Having said this, Marin withdrew his attention from the galaxy and looked at Shen Wansan.
The latter also looked at Marin, and finally, he stretched out his hand.
"I hope... there will really be one day." The leader laughed - although he could not perfectly control the stretching of his facial muscles, at least it looked more like a smile.
"There will be such a day, I believe there will be such a day." After finishing speaking, Ma Lin said goodbye to Shen Wansan, and then led the children towards the transmission channel.
"Marin... Your Excellency Marin, be careful along the way." The leader's farewell made Marin turn around.
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, the leader smiled awkwardly: "I, I saw that the adventurers all said that."
"You're right, thank you." Marin smiled and waved, then led the children into the transmission channel.
The awakened ones have begun to learn how to survive like human beings. Although in Marin's view, they still have a long way to go, but because of this, Marin feels that whether it is a cyborg like Conn or Shen Awakened beings like Wan San, or wise zombies like the Elders, no matter what their appearance is, they all represent the people of a race who are struggling to survive.
In the world after the great destruction, some people may sink, and some may die in a dream, but there will always be some people who want to try to mend the cracks in the sky.
That's great, Marlin.
After walking out of the teleportation channel, protecting the five children behind him, Marin nodded to the soldiers who paid tribute to him.
In this world, whether it is the Western Continent or the Eastern Land, there are some people who do not give in to destruction, do not bow to chaos, and never retreat even when faced with desperate situations.
A legendary team patrolling the camp caressed Marin's chest, and Marin patted their arms one by one, especially encouraging Xiao Lin.
People are always growing up. I still remember that when I first came to this era, Marin clearly remembered that at that time, I just wanted to live a good life again. Until now... "Your Highness Marin."
There was a call from a child behind him. Marin turned his head and looked at the eldest of the five children. Because of their young age, these children have extremely high plasticity. Because of this, they learned to speak early, rather than speaking like Shen Wansan looked as awkward as a foreigner learning Chinese for the first time.
"What's the matter, kid?" Marin didn't know their names, maybe they didn't have them, just like he didn't know the old man's name.
"We have all heard what the leader said. Can we...tell these words to our Azu?" The child looked at Marin, with an expectation and hope in his eyes that Shen Wansan did not have.
Marin smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Azu must be the title they used to call the old man, just like grandpa.
These living corpses actually have the concept of family. Although I don’t know why there is such a difference between the living corpses in the Eastern Land and the Western Continent, in Marin’s view, if the killing between humans and living corpses can be ended, it would be really good.
That's great. After all, in comparison, chaos is the enemy of all living things on this planet.
Marin does not want the living corpses to be able to stand in the same trench as humans like the Awakened and Cyborgs. Marin only hopes that the living corpses can be like humans and stop fighting when facing real enemies.
At least... stop consuming each other until Chaos is driven away.
"Your Highness Marin, you said that the world we live in is in a huge place called the universe. Are there countless living worlds like ours in this place?"
"There are very few people with life. After all, not any planet can be called the cradle of life. But I believe that we are not alone in this universe. In any case, we will definitely do what we did eight thousand years ago, after expelling chaos,
We will rebuild civilization and once again break free of gravity's hold on our beings."
At this point, Marin patted her head. These five children had eaten better in the past three days and looked much better than three days ago - this also proved that these beings have extremely strong absorptive abilities.
Perhaps it is because of their long experience that these living zombie tribes have such talents.
Judging from the speed of evolution, it is already very fast. When they were first created, they may have been used as tools... But in any case, they are now also members of the human race. Marin sincerely hopes that every innocent child can
Have a bright future.
After arranging for them to sleep, Marin met Sostak Three.
This omnic AI is in a very good mood recently. There is a scientific atmosphere here in southern Thailand that is completely lacking in the western continent. Szostak III can experience the omnic afternoon oil tea party and discuss with Jason, Beiluo and Aldebaran.
Science and knowledge, and even being able to discuss the future with sages, were things he could not experience in the Western Continent.
In the words of Sostak No. 3, those guys from the Western Continent are just like the rich men of the Middle Ages.
"Sir Marin, do you say that the old living corpse will come to take away these children tomorrow?"
"Yes."
This is the agreement between Marin and the elder. He will definitely come and take away these children. Marin also hopes to let these children go to their tribe and show their changes to their tribe. If this can be changed,
The living zombie group has always had the fate of eating hair and drinking blood, which is a great good thing for both the Tainan people and the living zombies on this land.
"If this thing can succeed, then we will definitely be recorded in history as the first people to tame the living zombies." Szostak No. 3 is very much looking forward to meeting tomorrow, and also gave Marin an idea:
"When the time comes, how about you ask the Tainan people to give you a title, Lord of the Awakening Castle?"
"Do you think I still need this thing?" Marin asked with a smile. This kid really had a bad idea. What the hell is the Awakening Castle? Is this kid's Castle Carter?
Although it all sounds very human and natural, right?
When Sostak No. 3 thought about it, he also laughed awkwardly.
"I really hope that the satellite factory can get it earlier, and then we can start cleaning up all the metal debris in low-Earth orbit." Mentioning this, Shostak 3 also looked resentful, just because of the debris.
There were too many satellites in his hand, and the number of satellites in his hand was reduced repeatedly. When he met Marin, he only had half a satellite in his hand - half because the left solar panel was destroyed and could only be used
A fixed orbit, facing outer space for thirteen hours a day.
Because of this, Jason couldn't find this kid at first.
By the way, I heard that there is still a section of the orbital module in the far earth orbit. If the spacecraft can be found, Jason and the others can go up and search to see if there is anything good in this section of the orbital module.
"By the way, I'm on duty tonight, I'll leave first."
Sostak No. 3 had work to do, and Marin didn't want to stay. After saying goodbye to him, Marin came to the hill in the center of the camp and climbed all the way to the top of the sentry tower.
Jason was also there, and Marin crawled to lie down next to him. The two of them looked at the stars in the sky in a daze.
"Your Excellency Ma Lin, aren't you going to see Mrs. Lulu and Mrs. Quyi?"
"You're so in charge." Marin rolled his eyes at Jason.
Jason sat up with a smile: "I sent Mr. Zhang back to his hometown."
"...Well, I understand." Marin did want to give Mr. Zhang a ride, but Jason said it was his job.
"Mr. Zhang said that his hometown has a very beautiful sea of trees, but when I went there there was only one deep pit. In the south, in order to stop the influx of zombies, the Thai people used thermonuclear weapons to turn the south into a
It was a hell... I finally found a relatively clean place on a hilltop to bury Mr. Zhang." Jason sighed at this point: "The engineer who used to be my engineer later became my friend, and then he was like a friend.
My father's man...is truly asleep."
"...I'm sorry, I didn't have the ability to help him at that time."
"No, you don't need to say sorry." Jason said quietly.
Marin felt that this omnic... seemed like a real human being.
Marin didn't know why he felt like this, but Marin felt that Jason was hiding something from him.
But Marin was also surprised that an omnic could hide anything from him, so there must be something wrong with his weird sixth sense.
With this sigh, Marin sat up and watched Jason prepare to climb down from the tower.
"Are you going down and not looking at the stars?" Marin asked curiously.
"I've been watching the stars for eight thousand years, and I'm tired of them no matter how beautiful the stars are." Jason said without looking back, then turned over and walked down the tower.
Marin thought for a while and looked at the night sky again.
Finally we reached the edge of the tower.
From here to the north, you can already see the top of the factory. This factory was once a proof of human beings' conquest of the planet beneath each other's feet. Now it is a representative of the decline and revival of mankind after the great destruction. The destiny of individuals is in the process called history.
Time was really worthless. In the end, Marin turned around and fell to the outside of the tower. The teleportation channel opened and Marin got in.
The next second, Marin, who landed at the entrance to the cemetery outside Carter Castle, looked at the setting sun in the distance and the falling snow in the sky, and then walked step by step along the stone steps to find the old Hoffman's tombstone.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and placed it on top of the tombstone.
There is an epitaph chosen by the old man himself on the tombstone.
I have been to this beautiful world, and friends passing by, you must also think so.
Marin turned around and looked at the last ray of sunlight falling in the distance.
Chapter completed!
