Chapter 93 Resurrection From the Fragments
There was a rumbling sound from the dark rock crevice, and a giant rat opened the rock crevice with its head. A large group of ratmen lay on top of the giant rat, walked through the tunnel with the giant rat, and appeared inside the hollow.
The place is quite narrow and shaped like a crescent moon. As soon as the giant rat came out, it was very close to the shuttle. The rest of the ratmen jumped off the giant rat and surrounded the shuttle, yelling.
"What do you want to do?" Xu Yang sent out a message.
"Save the Holy One." An aging voice sounded in the darkness, "I heard that you have the ability to bring her back."
It's the new or interim leader of the Ratmen. Xu Yang thought to himself. I don't know what the position of the new mouse king is.
"Let the Ratmen back away and put down their weapons." Xu Yang ordered.
"Unlike our counterparts on all fours, we are not used to the feeling of being empty-handed."
"You know that primitive stuff won't hurt the shuttle, it'll just fuel our mutual mistrust."
"The Ratmen have never dared to trust humans. Weapons can help us strengthen our courage."
"If you waste more time, Sally will only become more rotten, and the nearby companies will come over. We both don't want to see this kind of result." Xu Yang said.
"We have a sense of proportion, all we want is an attitude, to us, you are just another arrogant human being shouting around, monopolizing resources that we don't have access to, and using this ability to try to hold us hostage and manipulate us .”
"Then bring all your weapons." Xu Yang turned on the armed mode of the armor, and walked out of the hatch with the gun.
He saw a particularly aging and calm old white-haired mouse among the rats. He estimated that it was the new leader of the rat people, taking over Sally's vacancy. It might live longer than most humans.
The old white-haired rat stretched out his hand to signal to the group of rats. After seeing the gesture, the rats got busy, untied a large package tied to the back of the giant mouse, carefully lifted it to Xu Yang, and laid the package flat on the ground.
By the light of the shuttle, Xu Yang saw that it was actually a body bag woven with anti-radiation material. It was washed very clean by the Ratmen, but it was covered with dragging wrinkles. The label on the zipper had a human name written on it. , I don't know who it was pretending to be before.
"Be careful."
"Chirp chirp..."
"Open it slowly." The rats stretched out their paws cautiously.
"No need." Xu Yang knew that the inside must be very ugly. The remains of Sally seen on the ground floor of the Shenkong Building before were already very horrifying.
"Most of the saint's body has been... fragmented." The old white-haired mouse said, "We have tried our best to retrieve these parts. We returned to the scene several times, risking being discovered by humans. Many compatriots came back covered in Fester. I hope it's worth it, you said you had the power to resurrect the Holy One, and now we've brought the Holy One."
"Are you the leader of everyone now?" Xu Yang needed confirmation.
"I've just seen too much, my compatriots trust my judgment." The old white-haired mouse used his words conservatively.
"She must be extremely important to you." Xu Yang sighed, "She doesn't look like a rat man at all."
"You don't understand, Sally is the only and last hope." The old white-haired mouse's eyes fell on the body bag.
Faroza also opened the hatch and stepped down. She still remembered the rat people.
"Do you still trust her? Want to save her?" Faroza was curious, "Didn't this guy throw all of you into the battlefield? How many of you died? Half? Two-thirds? She was the worst one." You may be a ruler, but you will gain nothing by harming your subjects.”
"..." The old white-haired mouse's eyes darkened, "...Who is qualified to judge? Are you qualified?"
"No one is qualified." Faroza was choked, a little dissatisfied, but she had to admit, "Only gods are qualified."
"That's right," the old white-haired mouse took a deep breath, "Gods are qualified to judge, and what humans do can only be called moral judgment."
"You have killed too many people, the company will not let you go." Xu Yang said.
"It couldn't be more realistic," the old white-haired mouse shook his head. "Someone will host the Tao, who will host the rat road? In the past 50 years, tens of millions of rat people have died from chemical poisons and genetic viruses, and no one has ever heard that: the company Such cruelty, the Ratman will not let you go."
"It is indeed a question of the balance of power," Xu Yang said, "The essence of this conflict is the use of you by the Black Flame Innovation."
"That woman is right. A whole generation of young and strong ratmen died in the city, but we got nothing. But this is not the first time. We once captured Anjiu City during the rat tide, but it was only a flash in the pan. , we have known for a long time that most efforts end in failure, but this is not a reason to give up."
"You know Mateo is using Sally."
"But the will of the Holy One is higher than my opinion."
"From my point of view, your intelligence seems to be stronger than Sally's."
"Sally is our pride, I don't dare to compare with her, I'm just a mouse. You also said that Sally has very few mouse characteristics, which in turn let us know that she is different, she is a mutant, the elect, destined to guide us."
"Falosa." Xu Yang looked back.
"You guys better make sure there's nothing in this pile of rags other than Sally," Falosa said as she stepped out of the shuttle and stood by the body bag, "otherwise I don't know what I'll recover." She liked Little Sally, therefore willing to help.
"If it's incomplete, can Sally be resurrected?" the old white-haired mouse asked. "We can't find half of the legs. There are too many human beings coming in, so we can only bring these back."
"Probably yes." Faroza thought for a while, "I haven't tested it either. I once resurrected a whole person with just one head."
The power of witches is actually very ambiguous, so we must find time to test their magic power. Thinking of this, Xu Yang felt distressed again. It's a pity that there is no reliable base and hiding place so far. No matter what you want to do, you have to be on guard and be on guard against surveillance from all directions.
Faroza was about to cast a spell, and the rat people stared at her intently, and then looked at Sally's body.
"The Law of Response." Faroza murmured.
Red light filled Xu Yang's vision, and when he came back to his senses, there was a squirm in the body bag, the rats hurriedly opened the zipper, Sally opened her eyes wide, intact, she took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and crawled out , Stumbled to stand up.
Raise the dead and replace all things.
"Ah—" Sally yelled hoarsely, staggering, almost falling.
Xu Yang observed that her body was intact, and it was not impossible to recover due to the mutilation of the body, and the fragments of clothes on her body were also recovered into complete clothes.
"done!"
"Squeak!"
"Ah yeah!"
After Sally returned, the old white-haired mouse bent down, quickly crawled away, and disappeared from the rat man's sight.
"I still remember..." Sally looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Xu Yang and Faroza, "I still remember you, I died in the parking lot of the building before..."
"The magic power brought you back to life," Xu Yang explained, "Now, you owe us a huge favor."
"Yes." Sally nodded indifferently, "However, I have already lost too many compatriots. You cannot revive those compatriots. They can only be washed into the sewers of Aizu City, salvaged and eaten by us."
Bacchus poked his head out to look around, and Sally noticed her.
"Oh, I know you too," Sally looked at Bacchus, "you and Mateo came to the Mouse Village together."
"Yes." Bacchus nodded. "However, we are just pawns under Mateo. He is a combatant of the Blackfyre Revolution. We are just the kind of mercenaries who come and go when they are called."
"What are your plans for the future?" Xu Yang said, "The Rat Clan got nothing after going through this chaos."
"The TV station said they would give me a job," Sally recalled.
"Don't be stupid, the ground company will only squeeze you mercilessly," Xu Yang said, "When the time comes, your situation will be a thousand times more miserable than staying with your fellow clansmen. If you really sign their contract, you will only be in Being exploited for a lifetime at the workplace, regretting my decision every cold night."
"Although I know you're scaremongering," Sally sighed, "but I really have to go back to the Mouse Village, to my people. Only the old, weak, women and children are left among them."
"The Rat Man...is it really a degenerate human?" Xu Yang couldn't help asking.
"Wancang knows." Sally looked back, "Wancang? You were here just now."
"Yes." The old white-haired mouse crawled out after being called. It was hunched over at first, but under the watchful eyes of everyone and the rats, it slowly straightened up, stood upright, and looked at Xu Yang at the same level.
Only now did Xu Yang realize that it was extremely tall, not at all shorter than humans.
"The terrain of the Islands Continent is fragmented," Xu Yang said. "The cities are scattered on different islands. The origin of the Ratmen must be more complicated."
"It's all the same," said the old white-haired mouse. "My name is Wancang, Guan Wancang...I used to be a laborer."
"Labor..." Xu Yang's heart flickered, "There is a sense of history."
"Of course I'm history to you. I still remember my factory 60 years ago, but it's all blurred. I remember me and many others working very hard, day and night, even now living in the rat village. Every night I had nightmares, dreaming that I would go back to the factory and hear the impact of those huge industrial equipment, and then I would wake up with a cold sweat.” Guan Wancang recalled.
"Many sweatshops are now replaced by machines," Xu Yang said. Due to uneven development, there are still a few giant enterprises with labor-intensive industries and traditional assembly lines in their jurisdictions, but the proportion continues to decrease.
"The essence has not changed. I think people have just changed the place and form of suffering," Guan Wancang said. "I want to use honest labor in exchange for survival, but I only get a meager salary. Faced with rising rents, looking for With less than a shelter, I bowed my knees to keep my job, and lived a life that could be seen at a glance. I became weaker and poorer, and my other partners and I contracted serious strange diseases. I often dreamed that I became The factory laid off a lot of people, I was fired, and others who had the same situation lived in the sewers of Anjiu City. Then one day, that kind of dream became more and more frequent. After I opened my eyes... the dream came true Really, we really did become mice."
