Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 813

The old man who looked like a wooden sculpture stood up.

He kept the smile on his face, walked towards the car door step by step, and then stood in front of the door and waited.When Zhou Yu tried to call him, he didn't get any feedback.

The seemingly distant lights turned into concrete outlines of houses in a few minutes.Trains move through the suburbs and into the confines of the city at breakneck speed.Because it used the same elevated track as Migenzhu City, Zhou Yu couldn't see the residents in the city except for the buildings in the distance.

Since electricity and lighting systems exist, they should be inhabited.This cage city surrounded by mountains does not look much different from Migenzhu.Even the angle of the light looked familiar to Zhou Yu.

The train slowly entered the station.

As soon as the carriage stopped moving, Zhou Yu immediately turned his attention back to the old man in front of the door.When the door opened, the old man who claimed to be going elsewhere straightened his legs and walked out of the car in a posture that seemed to be going forward.

"We have to go down too."

Li Li handed the crutch to Zhou Yu, and helped him out of the carriage together.

There were more than [-] disembarked passengers sporadically on the platform. They all walked upright in a funny goose-like posture like the old people, and they lined up in an extremely orderly queue to the exit.In order to find out where they were going, Zhou Yu also accelerated his pace as much as possible.

Passengers stepped out of the station neatly into the empty streets.As soon as they got out of the gate of the station, their team immediately dispersed and walked in different directions.Not knowing what to do, Zhou Yu looked at Li Li.

"We could follow either one," Lee said. "It makes no difference in the end."

After getting her answer, Zhou Yu finally followed the old man in the same car.Because of that stiff gait, the old man moved very slowly, which allowed Zhou Yu to follow him while still having room to look around.

The moon-star-sparse sky is too high and clear, and it looks like a false curtain.The streets at night were devoid of anything, and seemed so clean that even dust could not be seen.The street trees on both sides are slightly yellowed, which is the scene in early autumn.

The longer he walked on such a street, the more Zhou Yu confirmed the feeling in his heart.

"Li Li, where is this place?"

"It says so on the site, sir. This is Cage City."

"I already know the name, but the layout here is too similar to that of Migenzhu City, isn't it?"

Not exactly the same.The texture of the floor tiles on the sidewalk, the color and style of the railings, and the species of street trees are all different from the Migenzhu City in Zhou Yu's memory.However, the similarities in the layout of the two cities can be detected just by walking a few streets.

If it was the relatively unfamiliar east of the city, Zhou Yu might not be so sure.But he is very clear about the landmark buildings in this area.If you look carefully to the north, you can even vaguely see the neon lights on the high-rise buildings in Hongsen District.

There was a meaningful smile on Li Li's face.

"Did you check the time at the station just now?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.His attention was on the passengers, and he didn't pay attention to the strange train station that was empty and there was no sign of the counter staff.In addition, he does not have the habit of wearing a watch. After losing his mobile phone, he cannot check the time at any time.

Li Li pulled up his sleeve, revealing the mechanical watch worn on his right wrist.The time on the dial points to twelve o'clock, and the second hand is still pointing up, motionless as if the clockwork has run out.It seems a little grotesque here and now.

However, the broken second hand is by no means the point.

There are not only hours, minutes, and seconds hands on the complex dial, but also a small dial showing the year and month in the center.At this moment, the scale that the pointer in the small plate is pointing to is not any number, but three teeny lowercase characters clearly engraved on the plate with gold characters.

—Ten years ago.

"……What does it mean?"

"As this watch tells us, the time is now 'ten years ago.'"

Li Li pulled down his sleeves and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. An electronic clock window hung on the activated screen, showing the time as 12:00.At the inconspicuous corner at the top of the electronic clock, the year displayed there is also the unbelievable three words "ten years ago".

After realizing that this was not some kind of prank, Zhou Yu shook his head blankly.

"What we perceive is only the present. This is determined by our thinking and memory system." Li Li said, "But this does not prove that the passage of time really exists, it is just an orderly superposition and interpretation of a series of events. From a higher latitude, we are just a specific point in the process at this moment. The future is fixed, but the past can be traced. We are all characters in the film, sir. The collection of all pictures constitutes our existence, However, we ourselves cannot have an overview of the whole volume. What we experience is only the frame that appears on the screen. For an editor, he can collage pictures from different periods. From our point of view, it is like returning to the past."

Although she didn't understand the other party's intention of mentioning this, Zhou Yu understood her metaphor.He shook his head and said, "That's just another independent time and space, not going back to the past. We are still at our original point."

"That depends on what 'me' is."

"These are meaningless." Zhou Yu said, "This is just a fake city. If it was Migenzhu City ten years ago, it would be impossible to have another name."

Although it doesn't pay attention to city culture, it is impossible to change things like city names at will.The history of Migentake University, which has the same name as the city, is said to be more than 60 years old.

"That's the problem. If you assume there's a real, coherent history here, you'll find a lot of inconsistencies. I think that's what the actual..."

The old man in front of him stopped suddenly and stood upright on the side of the street. Li Li, who seemed to be about to say something, stopped because of this.They stood about three or four meters away, and they could still see the remaining smile on the old man's face from the side.

Even though they just met by chance, Zhou Yu still felt a little strange stirring in his heart when he saw that expression as stiff as a mask.

"What's wrong with him now?"

"He is waiting for the end." Li Li said in a steady tone, "A person should have the right to rest for a while before reaching the end point to make preparations, although we don't know whether he still exists in the body right now."

"You mean he's dead?"

"I don't know. I haven't found out if he 'lived'."

"Your words shouldn't be rhetorical, right? Comparing the meaninglessness of life to walking dead or something like that."

"I can guarantee that there is no such meaning. Members of the middle and lower classes who are responsible and abide by their responsibilities are the cornerstone of the continuation of society. From this perspective, their lives are of great significance, Mr. Zhou Yu, far better than some geniuses—— Whereas in our civilizational model genius is always piling up with sufficient resources."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at her.

"Surprise. I thought you were elitist."

Li Li smiled lightly. "It is true that I have seen some people who are called elites. They are very admirable in some respects." She said, "In other respects, you will find wisdom and humanity, knowledge and virtue. These two qualities are not only Instead of promoting each other, they suppress each other most of the time. In this case, my brother is quite typical. He has all the necessary qualities that the upper class can cultivate by nature. He is personable and humble. Polite. However, in my opinion, that is a kind of acquired discipline, the packaging imposed by civilization on the outside, and there is no natural moral code in his heart-I would love to say bad things about him again, but it is a pity that the time is not right now It’s very convenient. Look, the bus to the finish line is here.”

At the end of the road came a dark blue taxi.It crossed the quiet night and stopped quietly in front of the still old man.The door of the passenger seat opened by itself, and the old man got in stiffly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Li helped Zhou Yu and quickly walked over.She opened the door of the back seat and helped Zhou Yu into the car.
