Xiao Jiaojiao is the queen in the last days

Chapter 58 New World Part 09
"It's fine if you don't want to say it, but do you have any plans for the future?"

Hongci didn't press her to continue, not because he believed in Shi Jing, but because he was used to this kind of fragmented life, and being unable to know the whole picture of his life itself was his usual life.

"I haven't figured it out yet..." In order to make Hongci trust her, Shi Jing explained a bit evasively, "Actually, I made some mistakes when I was admitted to the hospital, so..."

Hongci looked at Shi Jing, and seemed to sense the wavering in her heart. He patted Shi Jing on the shoulder, "It's unbelievable for people who don't make mistakes in this ghost place. If you want to live a good life, you have to learn to hide it." Take care of yourself. The rules you have accepted in the past, don't stop doubting them."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Usually when a woman says this, it's not just...Did I tell you this sentence?"

Shi Jing smiled, and sure enough he was Koji.

"I guess you want to ask me why I came back from the dead?" Kouji said, looking at her.

Shi Jing nodded.

"If I say that I don't know it too well, you won't think I'm lying to you." Hongji smiled wryly.

"will not."

Hongji stared at her eyes that made people unable to see through her thoughts, "Actually, I may have died a dozen times, and every time I would wake up from a hollow tree trunk closest to the place of death."

"trunk?"

"You heard me right, it's the trunk, the inside of a very common big tree is hollow, I wake up from it, and the memory and body after waking up will be reset to the last period of life, so if you want to Remembering our affairs, I can only die again." Hongji touched the center of his eyebrows, "But although I can die and come back to life, dying is still very painful, sometimes even like just now, I will forget The period when I woke up from the tree, but returned to the previous state of life. But I really don’t want to recall the feeling of how I was torn apart by the snake people.”

Shi Jing opened her mouth, the next time she said that, she didn't know how to react.

"I remember that once I forgot about my most beloved girl, she came to me and told me everything that happened between us, the vigorous relationship after life and death, but as the new me, I didn't have that kind of relationship with her at all. This kind of experience, so still can't fall in love with her again, and she felt it later, so we can only get along as friends in the end. After many years, I died again and remembered everything I experienced with her, It's a pity that she has passed away, and I never fell in love with her again before she passed away." Hongji laughed at himself, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in that smile. "So if there are some feelings without experience, will there really be feelings? It's just a little difference, but there is such a big difference in how you feel about a person."

Shi Jing was fascinated by the sound, but unexpectedly changed the topic the next time, "Before I died last time, we didn't have this kind of emotional entanglement, did we?"

She froze for a moment, then laughed, "You think too much."

Kouji breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but I'd like to remind you, don't think too much about me."

"Um... I think I saw it?"

"what?"

"That red rabbit." Shi Jing pointed to the rabbit squatting at her feet.

In front of the counter, Ah Si looked up at them while making records on the registration card.

He repeatedly asked for confirmation: "Are you sure you want this one?"

Shi Jing hugged the red rabbit with black eyes, and nodded without hesitation.

Hongji spread his hands.

Ah Si could only hand a listing to Shi Jing, "This is a three-day lease certificate, if you don't return it after three days..."

"Okay, okay, forget about your regulations, just this rabbit, do you really think that there is a second person who will rent it?"

"It's hard to say... But if you buy it, I can give you a [-]% discount."

"Ha ha."

"[-]% off is fine..."

"Triple discount." Shi Jing raised three fingers.

"make a deal!"

"Eh?" Hongji glared at Shi Jing.

"I promise to pay you back as soon as I have money." Shi Jing hugged the rabbit tightly and looked at him sincerely.

Hong once glanced at the rabbit, no matter where he looked at it, he felt that the rabbit had an indescribably weird feeling, but it also had a somewhat similar feeling to Shi Jing.

"Five copper shells." Hongji took out five umbrella-shaped copper coins from his pocket and put them on the counter. "That's all I have."

"You bastard!"

Before Ah Si came out and chased them away, Hong Ci pulled Shi Jing out of the store in a hurry.

"Do you want to give it a name?"

Shi Jing nodded, "I've already thought about it, so I'll call it 'Red Rabbit'."

"Red rabbit?" Hongji laughed, "I hope it will really be your 'red rabbit'."

Along the way, when many people saw the rabbit that Shi Jing was holding, they would take the initiative to walk away, but since it appeared, Shi Jing's attention was all on the rabbit, and he didn't notice the strange eyes of other people at all.

Kouji looked at those familiar streets, "I think if you have nowhere to go, you can come with me to our base camp, that place is for people who have nowhere to go."

"Okay." Shi Jing didn't see Hongji's eyes, she stroked Chitu, feeling much better.

"By the way, before I died, did I look much different from what I look like now?"

"I don't see much difference."

"That's not long since the last time." Hongci estimated the time and found that Shi Jing didn't seem to be listening to what he said.

Another guy who is easily confused, "Actually, you can put it down and let it go with An'an, it knows what it should do."

"But I just met it, will it really remember me?"

"How can I agree with you..." Hongji nodded his head, "Let's put it this way, it is indeed a rabbit, but it is different from the one you saw outside the outside world, you must take it with you here, even if it is a rabbit. The same goes for the Snake People, no one can stop the alienation. But the rabbit can, if you pray in your heart, it will follow you and protect you."

Seeing Shi Jing wanted to speak.

Hongji said hastily, "Don't ask me why, if I know, then I can be the god of this world."

Shi Jing thought of the sentence her father wrote: "May the Rabbit God bless you." Could this be what my father wanted to say?
"Alienation refers to..."

"Haven't you seen it?"

"No, I've seen it, but I don't understand." Shi Jing thought of the terrible scenes that happened in the immigration hospital.

Hongji stared at her, seeming to be a little curious about her, "I don't know what happened to you in the immigration hospital, but generally speaking, when entering here from the outside world, you will go through a series of registration and study, you should have seen the immigration The fixed-point system in the courtyard is the most formal anti-alienation procedure. Within 200 meters up, down, left, and right, there must be a rabbit, and the existence time is 21 minutes. Because every 21 minutes, a new round of alienation radiation will be generated, and the irradiated Carbon-based life sometimes includes plants, which will produce different degrees of alienation. Lighter alienation will reset the tissue. If you just touch something around, your body tissue will be with those things. melded together for reorganization, resulting in…”

Shi Jing had a vague understanding at first, but after Hongci's explanation, she was even more sure that she had done a very bad and bad thing. "After alienation, those people..." She frowned, she didn't really want to hear the answer but she couldn't pretend she didn't know, "Will those people still have feelings?"

Hongji smiled, but that kind of smile contained a kind of fright, "It's best not to try to imagine this question."

Shi Jing looked down at the rabbit in her arms, and the rabbit seemed to be looking at her too.

Being looked at by the rabbit all the time made her feel weird, so she put the red rabbit on the ground, and it quickly ran to An'an's side to gnaw around with it.

Rabbits can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. People have long been accustomed to the existence of rabbits, and they don't pay much attention to them. Everyone is doing their own things, and rabbits are also doing their own things, as if everything is normal.

But Shi Jing also saw that behind those ignoring gazes, everyone was always paying attention to the existence of the rabbit in their hearts and hiding their panic.

"Now that you understand that there are alienated animals that may be irradiated everywhere, do you still think this rabbit is reliable?"

"Didn't you say that rabbits won't be alienated?"

"A rabbit doesn't, but it might not be a rabbit either."

"It's a rabbit."

"Well, it does look like it in appearance, but it's really different from other rabbits, which is enough to make people uncomfortable." Hongji said, looking at the red rabbit with his hands folded.

"It's my rabbit." Shi Jing said a little unhappy.

"You're also quite uncomfortable," Kouji said.

"You..." Shi Jing was about to speak, but there was a strange grunt.

Hongji was startled, and avoided the approaching red rabbit far away, "Did you hear that? The sound it makes is not a rabbit at all!"

Shi Jing's face turned red, "It's not from it...it's from my stomach."

"Why is your stomach..."

"I'm hungry."

Hongci took her downhill and came to a dark and dilapidated alley. The ground was extremely muddy, and there was a sticky smell in the air.It looked like it used to be a commercial street, but the storefronts were dilapidated, and the signboards on them were rusty and might fall off at any time, and the incomplete neon signs flickered from time to time.

They arrived at a restaurant that was in operation, and there was a giant chinchilla rabbit standing outside the door, motionless, it was easy for people to think it was a display, but if you looked closely, you could see the ups and downs of its abdomen.

Open the dirty plastic curtain, the restaurant is very deserted, there are moths flying around the yellow light tube above the head, and there is a fat gecko eating there, the overall feeling of hygiene is worrying.

Hongci found a relatively clean dining table for two near the street. He took out a paper towel and wiped it briefly, and asked Shi Jing to sit down.

The boss with a cigarette in his apron decorated with small yellow flowers asked them what they wanted?
Shi Jing looked at Hongji.

"Two hotline burgers, plus two medium glasses of Coke." After finishing speaking, Hong Ci looked at Shi Jing, "Is there anything you can't eat?"

"No."

Hong times looked at her, "Don't worry, you won't die if you eat it."

"I'm not worried." Shi Jing looked at the sentence engraved on the lower right corner of the table, "Zhao Zhao Luoluo" She imagined a teenager secretly carving this sentence with a knife while eating. Do you think of your lover's appearance?
After a while, the boss brought the meal they ordered.

The so-called Hotline Burger looks like it's just a chicken burger with sauce on it.

Shi Jing took a small bite, which was a bit unexpected, she didn't expect it to be so delicious.Maybe it was because she was too hungry, or it was really delicious, Shi Jing quickly ate all the hamburgers.

"Finished?"

"Yeah." Shi Jing said, swallowing the last bite of bread.

"We have to get out of here, behave naturally, don't go too fast, but don't walk too slowly." Kouji lowered his head and whispered.

"You have no money?"

"I have money, I just... do as I say."

Shi Jing could only pick up the Coke, got up and walked out the door. At this time, she found someone in the corner looking at her. That person covered his face with a turtleneck sweater. I don't know if it was a problem with the light or with his eyes. It looks weird.

"Don't look at him!" Hongji pushed her from behind.

Shi Jing blinked her eyes, and hurriedly looked back.They settled their bills at the counter and left the store quickly.

In the alley, Hong Ci pulled her to walk quickly, Shi Jing was a little puzzled, but she couldn't forget the eyes of that person in the shop just now, "The eyes of that person just now... are not like human eyes, but like rabbits. .”

"Didn't you realize he didn't even have a rabbit with him?"

"Didn't bring it?" Shi Jing did not see him bring the rabbit, but she thought that the person put the rabbit in his clothes, but thinking about those who put the rabbit in their clothes or backpacks, at least let the rabbit show its head, and that person Not even a single rabbit ear was exposed. "But, didn't you say that even the snake man has to be brought? He is not afraid of radiation?"

"Because they are bounty hunters!" Hongji said, "They can't be called human beings at all. Most bounty hunters are genetic mutants who have been artificially modified, and they already carry rabbit genes in their bodies. Although they look very Poor, but don't expect too much from them in terms of humanity."

"They... were artificially transformed."

"The means of the ST Foundation." Hongji said while looking around at the shadows above his head, "Do you remember the cell where you were held? That was the experimental base of Bureau 404, and it also has a certain relationship with the Foundation. They have been there all the time. This kind of experiment is conducted to combine humans and rabbits in order to test new species that can adapt to this world, but the failure rate of the experiment is very high, and a lot of aliens have been produced because of this. Snake people are one of them, they are just experimental failures Being exiled, in addition to personality defects that cannot resist radiation, there are many other exotic species that are exiled from the experimental base. Bounty hunters are among the successful experiments, but their life span is very short, and when they are alive They also have endless energy and strength, killing people without blinking an eye."

"But we didn't offend him, why did we see him running away?"

Hongji stopped, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I actually did something to get on the top bounty list of the Bounty Guild. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape today. Remember, if you have a chance, run quickly until The danger is over, and wait for me under the largest hollow tree nearby."

He looked at a black shadow above his head, "If you want to catch me, I don't have to resist, but you have to let this girl leave safely, she has nothing to do with my affairs."

"You're wrong, I don't want to catch you." A hoarse voice came from above their heads, and at the same time a white flyer slowly floated to their feet.

Hongci picked up the piece of paper, "8 gold!" He looked at Shi Jing in surprise and confusion, "This is too ridiculous, what did you do? Your reward is so much higher than mine? "

"I, I'm not sure if it's what I think..." Shi Jing took the flyer in his hand, and it was indeed her portrait. "Is he sent by the experimental base to catch us?"

"You guys have no chance of winning, you better catch them without a fight, don't waste each other's time." The hoarse voice sometimes appeared on the left and sometimes on the right.

"Hey, don't care why he came here." Hong Ci protected her behind, he took out a small knife from his leather pocket, and whispered: "When I say run later, you run back and don't look back. "

"Hongji..." Shi Jing looked at his side face that looked at death like home, and once made her suspect that Hongji hadn't left her behind when he was in the cave, "Obviously you don't remember me anymore, but you still..."

"After all, when I die again, I will be able to remember our affairs. I always feel that I may have done something that I am sorry for you. Although you did not tell me, I still want to tell you that if we have any emotional disputes ..."

"We really don't know each other that well! Koji." Shi Jing interrupted his affectionate words. "Although I am very grateful to you, the time we have known each other may not be more than two days."

"Two days?" Hongji glared at her, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sorry, I probably misunderstood something..."

The black shadow above his head jumped up and came in front of them. The bounty hunter was hunched over, holding two scimitars in his hand, his face protruding from his collar was furry, his eyes looked like rabbit eyes, red The outer layer of the pupil is relatively light without any white.

"run!"

Shi Jing was suddenly intimidated by the bounty hunter's murderous aura, unable to move at all.

The bounty hunter's scimitar was about to strike Kouji's face. At this moment, there was the sound of iron objects colliding, and a burst of sparks sent the scimitar flying from the side, piercing into the wall behind. .

A dark-skinned girl with dreadlocks appeared in front of them. She was wearing a black skirt and leggings with red leather around her waist, shoulders and wrists. She held a finely carved machete in her hand. Turning her hands around, she lay in front of her body, a slender thigh exposed from the slit of the black skirt, and a pair of red leather boots under her feet.

Shi Jing was a little dazed looking at her delicate face, she had never seen such a beautiful and handsome girl.

In another alley behind them, a scratched black van turned a corner, made screeching brakes, and drove towards them.

"Get in the car!" A teenager shouted with the door of the black van open.

Shi Jing grabbed the boy's outstretched hand and jumped into the van. Hongji grabbed the door and jumped into the van together.

The girl was still entangled with the reformer. The bounty hunter knew that he had underestimated his opponent, so he began to increase his attack strength. The girl who was still in the upper hand was beaten back a few steps under the continuous attack.

"Feixu! Stop hitting, get in the car!"

The girl bit her lip, and changed the machete to the other hand. She held the machete in both hands, and stared at the bounty hunter with some fierce eyes. She made several fake moves but failed to fool the bounty hunter.

"Feixu can't beat bounty hunters."

The driver cursed and started the car to hit the bounty hunter. Fei Xu took the opportunity to grab the handle and jumped onto the car.

The van boosted its horsepower and rushed out of the alley. The people in the car were stumbling around. Shi Jing hugged the red rabbit in her arms, holding Kouji tightly with one hand.The van seemed to hit a lot of things during the bumps, but the speed was too fast to see clearly.

The driving gradually stabilized, and everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, but a machete suddenly came down from the roof of the car. Fortunately, Hong Ci pushed Shi Jing down in time, and the blade just grazed her cheek and cut off the car. After a few hairs, the machete was pulled up again, and the bounty hunter was about to attack again.

"Damn it, I don't believe I can't get rid of him." The driver was a middle-aged man with a round face and a beard, he was muscular, and he was always cursing, with two swear words out of three sentences. "Sit tight!"

The people in the car held on to everything they could hold on to.

The van slammed into a 360-degree circle on the spot, followed by a burst of brakes, and then rampaged again, with flames flying around, almost throwing out people's internal organs.

Shi Jing heard the collision sound from the roof of the car, and it was hard to imagine that under such circumstances, the bounty hunter still refused to give up.

The machete shattered the left car window, and a fluffy arm stretched in from above. The bounty hunter's bloody face appeared on the window. He was still smiling, and the blood-red rabbit eyes were wide open. There is only madness in the eyes.

They dumped the hunter.

The van drove onto the deserted road and gradually resumed normal driving. 【Highway description】

Hongji squeezed into the co-pilot seat, and Feiyu sat in the back with her.

"You kid disappeared three months ago. I thought you wouldn't come back so soon. Fortunately, the eyeliner I arranged saw An An, so I knew you were back."

"Only three months?"

It seems that he was taken to the experimental base three months ago. I don't know what they did to him there. He can't recall this memory and Shi Jing's matter for the time being.

"You disappeared three months ago, and we moved the base camp to another place. You can't take a risk with a group of people. Who knows if you can't stand it and expose us."
