Chapter 893: Don’t Want to Be Confused
Martin led the way slowly in front, and he seemed to be very familiar with the research institute.
Perhaps during the time they were away, the other "Martins" had completely understood the structure of the research institute.
These "Martins" were originally one, and if one was familiar, the others would also be familiar.
Now Martin might know this place better than Lao Ping...
Seeing that the research institute was full of "Martins", Lao Ping gave up the idea of stopping them and just told them not to destroy the things in the research institute.
Taking everyone around the research institute, Martin finally stopped in front of a locked door.
At this time, a "Martin" was fiddling with the door lock. When he saw someone coming, he quickly hid his hands behind his back and pretended that nothing had happened.
This act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell made Lao Ping, who had been tense all the time, a little bit unable to hold back. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he walked forward and said helplessly: "Let me do it..."
He took out a bunch of keys from his coat pocket, picked one out accurately, and opened the locked door with a click.
The door was pushed open, and it was full of dust.
It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. Lao Ping quickly stepped back to avoid the floating dust. After the dust slowly settled, he walked forward again.
After passing through the door, Lao Ping looked around, his eyes full of nostalgia.
This is a small warehouse full of miscellaneous items.
Abandoned experimental equipment, old containers, tattered notes, broken tables, chairs and tools... These things are all covered with thick dust and stains, completely covering their original appearance.
There is also a thick layer of dust on the ground. When you step on it, a dust mist rises. The neon lights outside the house shine in, which seem a little hazy. Through this layer of mist, you can seem to see the distant past.
"This warehouse has not been used for a long time. The last time I came here was more than ten years ago..." He said softly, and then looked at Martin: "Is there anything in here?"
"Here is the answer you want."
"Right... here?" Lao Ping showed a puzzled expression. He looked at the "junk" around him, his face full of confusion.
Martin did not answer, but walked inward through the dust mist that was still drifting. The colorful light hit his cloak, and the colorful dust particles swirled around his side. He seemed to have passed through a time tunnel, and everything around him was slowly retreating.
He walked steadily and finally stopped in front of a tattered cabinet.
It seemed to be a filing cabinet left over from the previous laboratory, with some yellowed documents in a mess.
He pulled it gently, and the door of the filing cabinet creaked open, and another gust of dust floated out and fell on Martin, but he did not hide or avoid it, letting the dust cover his body.
The glass jar was already covered with dust. The light from outside shone through the jar, making the dust sparkle like twinkling stars.
After looking into the filing cabinet for a while, Martin reached out and took out a small leather-covered notebook.
He patted it gently to get rid of the dust, flipped it casually, and handed it to Lao Ping behind him.
"This is the answer you want."
Hearing Martin's words, Lao Ping couldn't wait to open the small notebook in his hand, but just as he was about to flip it, Martin held him down.
"It's good to seek knowledge, but it's not good to be too serious. You are old. Some things should be left to be confused. Living happily is more important than anything else... There is no need to make everything clear."
Martin looked at Lao Ping and persuaded him very seriously.
Lao Ping was stunned for a moment, but slowly pushed Martin's hand away.
"I've thought about it... We're already in the abyss, who wants to be confused? If you're willing to be confused, you should be staying in Dawn City now."
He turned his head and looked at Li Luo.
"Young man, you keep going down, you don't want to be confused, right?"
Li Luo nodded, also staring at the small notebook in Lao Ping's hand.
Watching this scene, Martin smiled softly, walked around Lao Ping and walked out the door.
And Lao Ping looked at the small notebook in his hand again, touched the cover with some trembling, and slowly opened it...
...
"Ten years after the abyss invasion."
"Recorder: Tang Qu."
"Notes from the Abyss, recording my colorful life in the abyss..."
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
…
"Today is the day to go down to the abyss. My family came to see me off. Xiaoling was holding Liangliang and standing in the distance watching me. I really wanted to cry, but I couldn't. If Xiaoling saw me crying, she would always remember my ugly face. Liangliang is still young, and I can't let him think that his father is a coward."
"I am obviously not very old and I just had a child. Why do I want to go down to the abyss? I keep thinking about this question, but I can't figure it out. Maybe I have been a person who is easily instigated since I was a child. When I hear about the future of mankind, I get excited."
"I guess Xiaoling must be very disappointed. I am not a qualified husband, nor a qualified father, but such things always need someone to do it. If not me, then someone else."
"Others may also be husbands, fathers... When facing the abyss, these identities have no meaning and should not be a reason to retreat. I am a soldier. When I am needed, I should stand at the forefront."
"I hope they can understand me."
...
"I have my first relic. I won it with my own courage. The commander let me take it myself and said that this relic belongs to me. I am very happy, but also very entangled, because using the relic means bearing the cost of the relic."
"The researchers told me that they have not yet figured out the power and cost of this relic. I don't know what effect this relic will have on my body. I was asked to use it with caution, but how should I be cautious? If I don't use it, Unable to cope with danger, people in the team die every day. Since I have the relic, I should stand in front of others and take the responsibility of protecting others. "
"I would rather bear the unknown cost than watch life pass away. They told me that these costs are irreversible. Even if I can return to the abyss one day, these costs will always accompany me..."
"But, what does it matter?"
"I said to them indifferently: I'm not afraid at all!"
"When I said that, their eyes were full of admiration."
"Haha, actually I am afraid. If Xiaoling and Liangliang see me missing arms and legs after I go home, they will definitely be very sad."
"Alas, I hope they can understand me."
