Erosion

There was a knock on Jiang Shan's door: "Ashan, are you awake?"

It was Zhao Ying's voice, very gentle. Jiang Shan was silent for a while and then opened the door.

Zhao Ying saw Jiang Shan standing in front of the door wearing the pajamas she had given him before. She was indeed awake. Zhao Ying smiled happily.

"Ashan, you..." Zhao Ying still hesitated, "Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying. The whole church was quiet. After he came back, even a strong man like Gao Wenwu couldn't help but fell asleep. However, Zhao Ying still kept her eyes open and came to Jiang Shanmen. forward.

"Come in and talk." Jiang Shan opened the door.Zhao Ying walked in.

Jiang Shan's bed is still the Simmons that Zhao Ying found for her. In just a few days, slight signs of corrosion have been seen on the edges of the mattress.

But at this time, the two girls had no time to pay attention to the mattress. They almost had their own thoughts.

"Ashan." Zhao Ying raised her head first and looked into Jiang Shan's eyes, "I...I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for saving me again."

Although Zhao Ying has no memory of when she was parasitized, it is an indisputable fact that Jiang Shan saved her.And the two fleshy sprouts that suddenly appeared on Jiang Shan's temples seemed a little weirder now.

Jiang Shan saw Zhao Ying staring at her temples and said calmly: "In your eyes, am I a monster?"

Zhao Ying was startled almost immediately. She quickly withdrew her gaze and put it on Jiang Shan's face. She saw that Jiang Shan's eyes were like water, as if there was no temperature.

"...Ashan, please don't say that."

Zhao Ying's expression darkened obviously. She lowered her head. She had felt it from the car back. Jiang Shan suddenly became more alert and aggressive after coming out of the water. It was even a bit like the first time he saw her on the mountain. The way it was at that time.

"You are not a monster," Zhao Ying said firmly, "you will never be a monster in my eyes." She is Ashan, a teammate, and a friend.Maybe even, family.

Jiang Shan said calmly: "You think so, what about other people? Do they think so too?"

Zhao Ying was stunned again. She stared at Jiang Shan's expression. She didn't even know why Jiang Shan said this. Why did he suddenly care about whether he was a monster?

"Am I a monster or a devil?" Jiang Shan said slowly.

When Zhao Ying heard these words, she felt as if she was struck. Devil?Why did Jiang Shan say such incredible words?

How could she be a devil?

Jiang Shan studied Zhao Ying's completely shocked expression. It seemed that Zhao Ying really had no impression at all.The word devil pierced Jiang Shan's mind like a steel needle, the place where the devil was born.

"Ashan, I came here to say something." Zhao Ying seemed to have made up her mind, "I believe everything you said, and from your description, it looks more like an undersea laboratory."

Jiang Shan paused: "Lab?"

Zhao Ying said: "The creatures in cages, it sounds like a scene like this. I have only seen similar scenes in the laboratory." It's like the white mice locked up one by one.

Jiang Shan was silent this time. She didn't expect that Zhao Ying came to her so late to say this, to tell her that she believed in what she saw under the water.

Zhao Ying had been trusted by Jiang Shan, and she knew how normal it was for people to question the more incredible scenes when they spoke about them in panic, but Jiang Shan believed her, and how important that kind of belief was.

laboratory?Those entangled seaweeds flashed through Jiang Shan's mind. She glanced at Zhao Ying. When Zhao Ying was parasitized, countless seaweeds quickly wrapped around her body. If her thoughts were spread, those seaweeds... "Does it look like that?" Like the nerve lines connecting the human body?" All signs of seaweed show that it has a symbiotic relationship with the creatures in the aquarium. If the seaweed dies, the creatures will die. Isn't it just like, after humans lose their nerves, they will only die?

This bold idea is indeed somewhat close to the truth.

Jiang Shan looked at Zhao Ying again. She did not doubt Zhao Ying and believed that what Zhao Ying said was true. But as Jiang Shan said just now, where are the others?Not all are as sincere as Zhao Ying. "How long have you been working with Wei Yuan?"

Zhao Ying didn't expect that the topic suddenly turned to Dr. Wei. She was a little confused: "Wei, Dr. Wei?"

Seeing Jiang Shan looking at her motionless.

Zhao Ying hesitated and said: "We have always seen Dr. Wei in the institute. He is the core of the institute, but we have only actually worked with him for a few months..."

After all, anyone who has walked into the institute will see Wei Yuan’s research poster as soon as they enter the door. The conversations and topics around the laboratory will always revolve around Dr. Wei and his research. The name Wei Yuan is more like a symbol It exists everywhere.

Jiang Shan seemed to have untied a knot in her heart, and she said mockingly: "So none of you understand the real him, right?"

Everyone has heard of this person and seen this person, but no one knows the real person.Doesn't it sound like... those TV people who used to look very close through the screen, but actually they were far away?

Every member of this team came together after the erosion incident began.Gathered by Wei Yuan.

"Then why do you believe him so much?" Jiang Shan asked this question.

Wei Yuan tried to make her feel that everything she saw under the water was her fantasy.

Zhao Ying subconsciously wanted to say something, and thought about it for a moment before speaking: "To be precise, it's not belief, but obedience."

Jiang Shan frowned. Maybe she couldn't understand it in her mind. If she didn't believe it, how could she obey?

Zhao Ying said: "We all must obey Dr. Wei."

In the scientific research institute, obeying Wei Yuan is a subtle thing. Wei Yuan can't make mistakes, and what he does must be supported.

Even Zheng Institute has been silently doing this for a long time, so the scientific research institute has been consistent from top to bottom. To obey Wei Yuan is to obey the right thing.

"And Ah Shan," Zhao Ying said in a tired voice, "at this time, it is actually a good thing to have someone to obey."

Jiang Shan's eyes flashed.

As the end of the world approaches, people are in panic. People commit suicide every day, and some go crazy and cannot survive.At this time, there was a person standing there, like a benchmark and a bright light.

Wei Yuan is the base's calming agent.

At this point, Jiang Shan still didn't understand anything. She looked at Zhao Ying and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly."

Zhao Ying looked at her blankly, feeling that there was something more in Jiang Shan's eyes. Jiang Shan was not from a scientific research institute, so it was understandable that she would not obey Wei Yuan 100%, but perhaps the strangest thing was that Wei Yuan Jiang Shan was still recruited, and he didn't mind whether she obeyed or not.

Suddenly, it seemed that what was strange was not only Jiang Shan's attitude towards Wei Yuan, but also Wei Yuan's attitude towards Jiang Shan?
