Chapter 17 The Woman in the End Times Environment
“Uh~”
Anna's words made the atmosphere on the scene a little stagnant.
Robert said with a wry smile: "Anna, God... does not exist at all, otherwise he would not have allowed such a great disaster to destroy humanity to come."
"No, no, no."
Like a crazy believer who is eager to preach, Anna retorted excitedly: "This disaster is the trial God has given to mankind, and only those who are chosen can..."
"stop."
Xin Sheng is not as tolerant to the survivors as Robert.
After experiencing such bizarre things like time travel, Xin Sheng could not completely deny the possibility of God's existence.
But at least this disaster caused by human arrogance is definitely not a trial of God.
"Anna, we are not believers, stop your missionary."
Ignoring Anna's bad eyes, Xin Sheng turned his gaze to Ethan.
"Ethan, how did you hear this news?"
Ethan glanced at Anna, curled his lips in the other party's warning eyes, and finally told the truth regardless of Anna's threat.
"It's a broadcast, and the broadcast from Bessel Town was received by our ship."
"Ethan!"
"Shut up!"
Xin Sheng glared at Anna with a sharp look: "I warn you, it would be fine if you are willing to believe this kind of nonsense, but if you plan to develop cult beliefs in the disaster of mankind..."
"Bang~"
Xin Sheng used the rubber band playing with the playing tricks in his hand to pop out a toothpick, and just rubbed Anna's cheek and flew over, leaving a shallow blood mark.
"I will kill you now to prevent future troubles!"
Xin Sheng hates the kind of cult organizations that use other people's fear and uneasiness to gain benefits the most. One of his college roommates has experienced tragedies personally.
The roommate's parents became a crazy believer of the cult leader. All the savings of the whole family were cheated away, and they also owed a lot of debts and turned against all their relatives and friends.
In the end, the criminal police team decisively took action to remove the cult organization, and their parents were sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
But all the debts owed were piled up on the roommate, causing him to work hard for several years.
Until Xin Sheng traveled through time, the roommate still had not paid off the debts owed by his parents.
Xin Sheng's fierce gaze like a bird of prey made Anna sweat on her forehead, and the scorching pain on her face made her dare not speak anymore.
Robert was also disliked Anna's approach, and as a scientist, he was an absolute atheist.
Moreover, Robert knew the root cause of the virus outbreak. This disaster had nothing to do with God and the old man, and it was entirely caused by the sins committed by human beings themselves.
Compared to Anna's pretending to be mysterious, Robert is more willing to believe Ethan's words clearly organized.
"Does it be broadcast..."
Robert lowered his head and thought for a while: "There is a certain credibility, but I don't plan to leave here for the time being."
Robert said firmly: "This is Ward Zero, the battlefield I have been fighting for more than two years."
"My research has entered the most critical stage, and I can't let go of everything and leave at this time."
Xin Sheng's hope for energy modules is Robert, and he certainly won't follow Anna and Ethan to Bessel.
"I will stay, at least I will have to wait until Robert's phased research is completed before leaving together."
Robert glanced at Xin Sheng gratefully, then turned to Anna and said, "There are very few remaining humans in the world now, and I will not give up any of my still alive compatriots."
“I will provide transportation and enough supplies for your trip, but I am not planning to leave New York for the time being.”
Anna sighed helplessly. Although she failed to invite Robert Never to accompany her, she at least obtained the necessary materials needed to go to the survivor camp.
"Okay, thank you, Robert."
...
That afternoon Robert prepared plenty of food and water for Anna and Ethan, and gave them one of their own SUVs.
Tomorrow morning, Anna and Ethan will drive out of New York and head northeast into Vermont.
After returning to Robert's house, Xin Sheng, who had no deep understanding of American geography, specially found a map to watch.
It turns out that Vermont is located in the northeast of New York and can be reached in just a few hours by car.
‘What exactly does Anna want to do if she is so close?’
‘Supering a letter? Or to win people’
A disaster has completely collapsed human civilization, and the rules of survival in peacetime no longer apply to the present.
No matter what Anna wants to do, it has no direct connection with Xin Sheng. Anyway, they will leave early tomorrow morning, so he just needs to follow Robert closely.
Before Anna and Ethan appeared, Xin Sheng once considered keeping them for the time being and set off together after Robert's research achieved phased results.
After all, there are many people and great powers. In this era when humans have become rare creatures, one more person can bring more security.
But now it seems that Anna, who has a lot of ghost thoughts, would better send it away early to avoid attracting more surprises.
After nightfall, Ethan, who was still in his growth period, fell asleep early, and Robert placed him in the room where his daughter once lived.
The research has entered the most critical stage, and Robert is only one last step away from achieving results.
But this difficult bottleneck made Robert even scratch his head and unable to think of a solution.
After being mixed with drugs by virologist Robert, Xin Sheng's blood can effectively inhibit the spread of the virus and even have the potential to counterattack the virus.
But it is not enough to completely reverse the genes rewritten by the Koh virus.
The biggest problem that troubles Robert is the amazing activation ability of the Cole virus. If the vitality of the virus cannot be reduced, all countermeasures will be empty talk.
Xin Sheng was used to the roars outside the window. He was changing arrows in the dark living room, changing the round arrows used for training during the day with sharp arrows for practical use.
Walking on the wooden floor will make a more obvious sound. Rhubarb, who is lying beside the owner, raises his head in the darkness, and his straight ears shake slightly.
Dahuang has received Xin Sheng's training and will not make sounds at night unless necessary, but its movements aroused Xin Sheng's idea.
"Ka~Ka~"
After a few seconds, Xin Sheng caught the sound of deliberate light footsteps in his ears, and his bright eyes narrowed slightly in the dark environment.
Judging from the outline of the person, Xin Sheng recognized the other party's identity.
"Is there something wrong?"
“Uh~”
The other party didn't expect Xin Sheng to find himself far away, so he greeted him a little embarrassedly.
"I...I want to apologize for the extreme remarks in the afternoon, if it offends your faith..."
“I have no faith.”
Xin Sheng interrupted Anna's awkward conversation: "Even if there is, my faith is me."
"Only the power in your own hands is the most trustworthy."
"so?"
Xin Sheng looked at Anna who walked forward to him meaningfully. Her eyes, who had become familiar with the dark environment in advance, could already see the slightly awkward smile on Anna's face.
"Woman, what do you want from me?"
The answer is simple. Anna wants to get Xin Sheng’s support and accompany her to the survivor camp.
Although Robert seems to have the idea in the combination of Robert and Xin Sheng, it was just Xin Sheng who deliberately reduced his presence and brought Robert to the stage.
Anna, who has been struggling in the end of the world for more than two years, believes that she has a pretty accurate view of people.
Although Robert has a good physique, he is a civilian and always has an academic scholarly aura.
Robert's overly kind attitude towards strangers made Anna not optimistic.
Kindness is certainly a virtue, but in today's environment where the strong prey on the weak, Robert's kindness may one day harm him.
In contrast, Xin Sheng, who doesn't talk much, is the real tough character in Anna's opinion.
The strong Asian man holding a hunting bow has never relaxed his vigilance against her and Ethan since the meeting. This is the attitude he should have in the current world.
Although I have never seen Xin Sheng take action with my own eyes, Anna dares to play a cold weapon like bow under the threat of the night demon with abnormal physical conditions. Anna does not think that Xin Sheng is just a simple show of pretending.
He must have real materials.
Anna has no bad intentions. Whether she is under the name of God or trying to win over Xin Sheng now, she is just an umbrella she has prepared for herself to survive in this cruel world.
"I……"
"Shh!"
Before Anna could answer, the rhubarb, who was originally squatting on the ground, suddenly jumped up.
Its actions scared Anna and made Xin Sheng's face look ugly.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
