The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 172 Out of the City
This section of the subway track has never experienced any repairs half a century ago, so naturally there will be no lights and clean platforms. The train is speeding at the highest speed, and the broken windows reveal the Squeezed into a fist-like hard wind, howling rushed into the car, and then smashed into a messy gale.
No one spoke, although there were still many questions that had not been answered, and many answers that had not been found, but at this moment, no one wanted to care about these.

They just feel heavy, the kind of heavy that hurts the throat.
It is a fact that history will be written by the victors. However, when this history is really presented in front of a group of people, it becomes a pot of poison that is difficult to swallow.

Are we living in such a history?
If it's just a war, then it's actually acceptable, after all, both sides of the victory and defeat are fighting for their own lives
But what about massacres?
Then there is no glory, no faith, not even the most basic pursuit of ideals, but only the purest sin.

What's even more frightening is that this sin was wiped out with ease, like the garbage left over from breakfast, like a glob of saliva spit out casually, like... a scene that was forgotten in a blink of an eye Dream.

But this rubbish, this saliva, and this dream contain the lives of billions of fresh human beings!

No one is confused about it, no one repents about it, and no one even remembers it.

Those who died in vain shall forever and ever and ever
Die in vain!

After a long time, until the face of the wind blowing Quinn began to ache.

"Why is that?" she finally asked.

"Oh?" At this time, Logan was leaning on the seat with his eyes closed, but he didn't open them, but continued to reply like this without moving: "Are you saying why this memory was washed away? Didn't you say For the sake of the stability of the mutant society, if we build a new life through bloody massacres, then there will always be people who will take it out and comment on it over and over again. Conscience, after drinking and eating, is always It will appear very vigorous, so simply delete all this memory, and then use education and some deception methods to make this false history real, so that after a few generations, the fake will be completely It has become real. You don’t need to think it’s so hateful, in fact, we have used this method from the beginning to the end to stabilize society, whether it’s humans or mutants.”

Quinn was silent for a few seconds: "Then, why the massacre? Mutants and humans. Why can't they live in peace?"

"What? Hahahaha——" Logan laughed suddenly: "Stop making trouble, mutants are actually not much different from humans except for their abilities, and humans have never coexisted peacefully with other beings!"

"Impossible. We now know how to protect the environment and value nature. We also raise pets, set up sanctuaries for other lives, and we even help them survive in this world."

"Ah, well, well, if you think about it carefully, do those really count as peaceful coexistence?" Logan interrupted Quinn's words: "It's just slavery, control, and most of all, it's just a breeding.

As I said just now, after a person is full of wine and food, there will always be a lot of exuberance than emotion. We are the gods of this world!We control the lives of all other species, and I would bet my paws that if one day cats threatened our place in nature, the next day there would be no cats left in the world!

In the same way, if humans threaten the existence of mutants, then it is impossible for them to coexist peacefully, not even for an hour!Oh, we're almost there, you better hold on to the handrails."

Logan suddenly changed the topic and said.

The others were still a little unresponsive, but they could clearly feel that the speed of the train began to drop rapidly, and the sound of friction between the tracks and the wheels almost made people have to cover their ears.

But even so, everyone still held on to the handrail firmly!
Then.
With a sound of "boom", the train seemed to hit something and stopped suddenly. Although the speed was already very low, due to the large mass, the inertia brought out by this little speed was enough to make people directly Fly out!

"Phew, we're here!" Logan heaved a sigh of relief, and then pulled out his claws stuck in the wall: "I'm sorry, this kind of train was operated by one person before, but he is too old these few years, The ability is a bit degraded, so, it often happens when you brake.”

"Okay." Hannibal's body was still very weak, he resisted vomiting, and then said helplessly, "However, what do you mean when you say that the trains are all controlled by one person?"

"It literally means that he controls the train and brought us all the way here."

"Well, I still don't understand. Doesn't the subway have its own start-up procedure?"

Logan smiled: "Haha, I think you may have made a mistake. This train has not been driven for many years, and there is no energy for a long time. I don't know if the program can be used, but if it is really driven by the original program This subway, it will definitely be discovered!"

Hannibal was slightly taken aback: "There is no energy source?"

"Yes, this car is not running at all. The few times I fiddled with the cab just now did not start the car at all, but sent a signal to tell that person that we are already in position."

In fact, when it comes to this, everyone is still a little confused. It feels like what Logan said is like someone who is hundreds of kilometers away, using some kind of force to lift the car and keep flying in the tunnel.

But it doesn't matter anymore, there are already so many questions in everyone's mind, so it doesn't matter if there is one more.

So without further ado, since the car stopped, it was natural to get off.

However, the location of the car was a bit off. Instead of parking next to the platform, it overdrives and parked in the tunnel, so everyone could only grope in the dark for a while before arriving at the platform.

Logan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I've said it all, that guy is a bit old, so the parking position is also a bit difficult to grasp, so please don't mind."

With that said, he climbed onto the platform
Next, everyone passed through a path dug through the ruins, climbed several flights of stairs, and finally walked out from a subway exit!
What appeared in front of everyone was the ruins of a city, moreover, it was the kind of ruins that were so ruined that only residues remained.

There are not many ruined buildings left. There are rubble and collapsed buildings everywhere. Not far away, there are several large craters that seem to have been hit by meteorites. Farther away, there is a ruined building hidden in the night. The huge steel beams of the bridge were completely toppled over, hanging on the pier as if dying, while the other half of the bridge had disappeared.

"Look, this is the post-war world. Although it's not very beautiful, at least there is no radiation, because at that time, human beings didn't even have a missile to launch, or they couldn't launch it at all. 27 level 4 mutants have disabled the guided weapons of all countries. I don't know the specific method, but it is said that there are a few people who are powerful, and directly blocked the signal of the entire Eurasian continent. In short, you The ruins I saw were all done by mutants! Oh, by the way, this city was called Manhattan before, not ipz-127, the number of this city is terrible." Logan said.
Although the subway is out of the city, it is obviously not too far away from the city. Not far away, you can still see the brightly lit ipz-127. above.

"However, if the 'purge layer' is not for purifying nuclear radiation, then what is it for?" Quinn couldn't help asking.

"Of course it is to guard against us." Logan responded: "Oh, no, it should say 'we' now."

As soon as the voice fell, a huge aircraft suddenly pierced through the clouds above the sky, and with a not too loud bang, it quickly hovered over the heads of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, under the wing, an elevator slowly lowered to the ground.

Logan walked onto the elevator easily, and then waved to everyone:

"What are you still doing, hurry up!"

The three of Hannibal hesitated for a moment, looked back at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, and finally followed them onto the elevator.

In fact, lowering your head a little, you can see that on the lifting chassis they are standing on, there is a big character drawn
"X".
