117 The Limits of Mercy
"Waiter, take your order."
"Hi sir, are you four?"
"Yes," Shen Changwen took the menu, glanced at it, and handed it to Wu Xiaoqing, "Look at what you want to eat."
Wu Xiaoqing's entire face was pale, and he passed the menu to Wang Youquan: "I don't have any appetite, you can order."
Wang Youquan just said: "The waiter will bring you a pot of tea first, a little stronger." Then he passed the menu to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was lying on the table, grabbed the menu, and briefly glanced at it.The restaurant's menu is very delicate, and there are pictures behind several signature dishes, but looking at those colorful patterns, Xu Yan not only did not arouse any appetite, but a sour taste came from his stomach.He quickly covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
The menu was back in Shen Changwen's hands, and he didn't even bother to order anything.The bathroom was not far from here, and the sound of Xu Yan vomiting in it made the few people's little appetite disappear.
"Let's have something simple... scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried vegetables... What's your signature dish here?"
"Blank meat."
"Boiled pork?" Wu Xiaoqing shook his head even more, "How about some barbecue? Do you have any?"
"Sorry...there is no barbecue," the waiter said, "Can you roast duck?"
Several people rejected this idea: "Forget it, let's have a braised eggplant."
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried vegetables, braised eggplant, do you want anything else? Can I order some meat dishes for you?"
"No need for now..." The three of them refused. They were told that it was too meaty. Even if it was braised eggplant, they all felt a little greasy.
Four people eating three dishes sounds a bit miserable, but considering their current appetite... this is already quite a lot.
When the dishes were all served, it proved to be the case.On the one hand, everyone's stomachs are growling with hunger, and on the other hand, four people are struggling with food, but they can't eat at all.
"Eat more..." Shen Changwen said, "I have to go skydiving tomorrow."
"parachute?"
"Let's take a day off... We really can't do it," Xu Yan said, "Should I jump from the plane? What if the parachute won't open?"
"The paraglider is brought by a coach. Chen She has already made an appointment. Come to the company and set off on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shen Changwen ate a few mouthfuls, but he really lost his appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and left.It's not far from the city center, so he took a taxi to the hotel near the company.Wu Xiaoqing and the three of them were left, you looked at me, I looked at you, they all saw despair on each other's faces.
What kind of experience is it to jump 23 times in one day?Should break the world record, right?
Xu Yan actually went to the Internet to check - it turns out that they are still too young, the world record is 150 times, they are still far behind!The addition of four people is not enough for others to dance alone!
"Just get used to it..." Wang Youquan comforted them, "Look, we were scared to death at the beginning, but we stopped screaming after jumping down."
"That's not a habit, it's because I was too scared..." Wu Xiaoqing recalled the next dozen times of bungee jumping.This kind of thing does not mean that the more you experience, the more you will get used to it. On the contrary, for the first time, because of curiosity, you will have a little courage to jump down.After I have experienced that feeling of fear, I will become more afraid.
"Did any of you jump parachute?" Xu Yan asked Wu Xiaoqing and Wang Youquan again.
Obviously not at all.Compared with the price of more than 100 yuan for a bungee jump, the cost of skydiving is obviously unacceptable to these people's previous economic level. It is said that it costs more than 400 yuan.Today they spent about [-] yuan just for bungee jumping. Tomorrow, they went skydiving. Professor Shen said that they paid [-] yuan just for the deposit.
"Does the search and rescue team want to train us all to be special forces..." Xu Yan's thoughts were quite romantic.
"Special soldiers... It is still possible for Mr. Wu to start training at this age, the two of us?" Wang Youquan said, "I am already in my 40s... and still be a special soldier?"
The three of them ate a few bites hastily, then checked out and went out.The car was parked at the door, but Xu Yan and Wang Youquan had no energy to drive.The only thing they want to do now is to go back and lie down to sleep-the long-term sinking feeling makes them unable to walk stably now, let alone drive.
Back in the dormitory, Wu Xiaoqing fell asleep in a daze without taking off his clothes and shoes as soon as his body touched the bed.
Wu Xiaoqing had two nightmares in one night. The content was that he was pushed off the cliff-but the strange thing is that every time Wu Xiaoqing in the dream would look back at his feet after jumping off-this is his bungee jumping. When you move, you will feel at ease when you see the safety ring on your feet.It's a pity that he didn't have it every time in the dream-so he was woken up every time.
Because I went to bed early, I woke up early.After four o'clock in the morning, I couldn't sleep anymore, and I felt very hungry, so I got up in the dark, trying to find something to eat in the dormitory.
It's a pity that they have only moved here for a few days. Because they have money, they have never eaten at home-they are too lazy to do it.Wu Xiaoqing wanted to order a takeaway, but found that most of the breakfast sellers hadn't opened their doors during this time period.
"I'm so hungry." Wu Xiaoqing walked around the house twice, and after confirming that there was nothing to eat at home, he decided to go out for a walk.Or take a taxi, the driver always knows some places to eat that are open all night.
Wu Xiaoqing just walked out of the gate of the community, but saw the subtitles of the search and rescue team coming from the glasses: "Come to the company... Ellis wants to see you, and treat you to breakfast by the way."
The dormitory is just one street away from the company. After a few minutes, Wu Xiaoqing has already arrived in another world.
At the entrance of the cave at the teleportation point, Elis’ army has already been stationed. When Wu Xiaoqing walked out all the way, he saw a lot of familiar faces in the middle, and they all saluted Wu Xiaoqing—this made Wu Xiaoqing , suddenly remembered that he still has the identity of an envoy here.Ordinary people on Earth and divine envoys from another world...it turns out that every time Wu Xiaoqing came here, he had to travel at least a long way to give him time to adapt to his status.But now, it's just a portal.
The volcanic ash outside is still falling, and according to the search and rescue team's prediction, the ash will last at least half a month.
But the catastrophe has completely passed, and in some places that have just stabilized, Elis has sent troops to search other places for anyone who may be alive.But apart from a few mountain people hiding in the surrounding mountains, these troops found almost nothing else.
The previously familiar kingdoms have completely disappeared. It turned out that the plain they traveled south had formed some continuous hills due to the accumulation of magma.The temperature inside these volcanoes is still very high, and there is no vegetation on the mountains, so the soldiers dare not climb over.Everything that everyone was familiar with before, farmland, roads, castles, canals... are now completely engulfed by magma, with no traces to be seen.
Everyone is convinced that the world they were familiar with before has completely disappeared.
When Wu Xiaoqing walked out of the cave, he found that it seemed to be night outside—it was not, and if he looked carefully, he could still feel a little light.All the nobles at the gate were waiting for him.After seeing him, everyone knelt down and saluted him—even though the ground was covered in black volcanic ash.Many people kowtowed to the ground.
They already knew that the search and rescue team and Wu Xiaoqing and the others would leave soon.
Of course they wanted to stay, no, they begged Wu Xiaoqing and the others to stay for a while longer.
These nobles, as the ruling class among the 10,000+ people, of course know the difficulty of surviving the entire team and the fragility of order.
If it wasn't for the angels who brought countless grains, clothes, medicines and water purification machines from the heavens, if it wasn't for the angels who taught them how to use "electricity" and brought a hand-cranked "charger", even if they escaped the magma There is no way to survive in an environment where there is no sunlight all day long.
Volcanic ash completely obscured the sky for the time being, and the low temperature had dropped below ten degrees last night—it was midsummer.According to the analysis given by Professor Ma, the temperature will continue to drop and will eventually remain at around minus 5 degrees.As far as this era is concerned, this temperature can already be regarded as extremely cold.
"Master God Envoy, please stay for one more month, it's only one month!" The speaker was the Minister of Finance of Elis, who was also the director of material distribution for the entire disaster relief operation.
"I'm just a messenger, my lord," Wu Xiaoqing said. "God has many missions. My lord, you are not the only one who needs him. All difficulties will pass."
There will always be difficulties, whether they are there or not.When saving primitive people for the first time, Wu Xiaoqing didn't quite understand this point. Now that he has been in contact with war for a period of time, he understands this not difficult truth.From the point of view of salvation, their mission has been satisfactorily completed, because these aftermath work brought supplies, which is already the greatest kindness-but kindness has a limit.
According to the search and rescue team, during this period of time, these medieval farmers and soldiers ate and slept, slept and ate—outside of walking, they didn’t do any work at all, and of course they didn’t do any work—it was really too happy up.This kind of happiness far exceeds their own level of civilization—the longer they stay here, the harder it will be for these people to break free from this material dependence.At this point, the train of thought is the same as that of saving the primitive man.
If it weren't for the belief in the "Land God" that already existed in this world, Wu Xiaoqing wouldn't even have to come to say goodbye.But after all, this is related to the legitimacy of the king's rule-if the people below are misunderstood, thinking that the king and the nobles forced the gods away, with the overwhelming majority of ordinary people and soldiers' fanatical belief in the land god, It is a matter of minutes to directly overthrow the existing order.
In this era, holy wars can be waged for the size of two suns. If Wu Xiaoqing and the others leave without saying goodbye, the search and rescue team can almost be sure that just because of the priority of the four angels, there will be more than a dozen different ones. sect.
So Wu Xiaoqing came here this time mainly to give a farewell speech to let everyone understand that it is God who has something to leave, and it has nothing to do with everyone else.
"Hi sir, are you four?"
"Yes," Shen Changwen took the menu, glanced at it, and handed it to Wu Xiaoqing, "Look at what you want to eat."
Wu Xiaoqing's entire face was pale, and he passed the menu to Wang Youquan: "I don't have any appetite, you can order."
