"Those two bastards, what else did they say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cangwu took a breath and looked at me in amazement. He looked at me with an incomprehensible look and said in surprise.
"Is that what you always call them?"
I didn't comment, but just kept urging Cangwu.
"Hurry up, I'm running out of patience."
Upon hearing this, Cangwu smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
"Actually, there is no more important news."
"They just said that this time, the gamble is bound to have many new things that have never appeared before."
"It may even endanger your life."
I was confused when I heard that. How could anything endanger my life?
"Although this may sound a bit arrogant coming from me, I am truly immortal."
Cangwu spread his hands, looking helpless, and explained to me with a wry smile.
"Don't ask me, I'm just a messenger."
"Honestly, I don't know what they are talking about. I just wrote them down and told you."
Seeing this, I stopped questioning Cangwu and fell silent again. I sat on the sofa and thought for a long time. Then I took out my backpack, took out the dried meat that I had already eaten most of, and started eating it.
During this exploration of the experimental base, I used the ability of mimicry many times, and my physical strength has been greatly consumed, so I don’t want to continue thinking about these headaches. Instead, I plan to have a good rest and recover my strength.
When I took out the dried meat, Cangwu's eyes widened instantly. He looked at me eating without restraint, hesitated for a moment, and then asked me shamelessly.
"Can you give me some?"
While chewing the dried meat, I looked up at Cangwu in front of me and spoke incoherently.
"Of course you can, but don't you have any food stored here?"
After getting my consent, Cangwu reached out and grabbed a handful of dried meat, took a big bite, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and then he answered with a smile.
"How could there be food here? I was originally an important observation specimen for the immortality experiment."
“Every serving of food is carefully prepared by the entire Eden Organization.”
At this point, I finally remembered a question: How did Cangwu live in the past few years trapped in this room? Was he always starving?
As someone who possesses the same immortal body, I know clearly that I will not starve to death. Eating every day is just a ritual and I can't stand the hunger.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask Cangwu.
"Without food, how did you survive the years you were trapped here? Did you just hold on?"
Cangwu was still eating the dried meat I brought with big mouthfuls. After hearing my question, he swallowed the dried meat in his mouth in big gulps, and I don’t know whether he chewed it or not.
"First, you have to understand one thing."
"Those two consciousnesses are just god-like beings, not real gods. The abilities they gave me are bound to have flaws. They are not perfect immortal bodies like you."
"I am an immortal being who can be killed or starved to death."
I frowned, becoming more and more confused, and raised my eyes to look around, at the entire room, and asked softly.
"Since there is nothing to eat here, how did you manage to last so long?"
Hearing this, Cangwu paused, put down the dried meat in his hand, then pointed his finger at himself and answered calmly.
"Isn't there an endless supply of meat right here?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little nauseous, but Cangwu continued talking to himself.
"In these years, I have eaten my own hands, my own feet, and my own breast meat."
"To be honest, the taste is a bit bad, not as good as the jerky you brought."
At this time, Cangwu saw that I felt a little nauseous, and couldn't help laughing.
"I've been through a lot, young man."
"A long time ago, when there was famine, after people ran out of food, they would eat tree bark and weeds. When they ran out of food, they would start eating humans."
"This is nothing unusual. In that era, if people at the bottom of society wanted to survive, they were destined to live a life of neither human nor ghost."
I shook my head with a complicated expression and said to Cangwu.
"I'm not curious about cannibalism, but about you."
"You've lived for so long, why would you do something like eating your own flesh just to survive, and you don't seem to care at all."
Cangwu was stunned when he heard this, and fell into silence, which was rare. He lowered his eyebrows, frowned and thought for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"Honestly, I can't find any reason why I have to live."
"I don't have any goals or anything to do, I just live for the sake of living."
"Perhaps, it is precisely because I don't know how to live that I want to live so much."
"I……"
"I'm such a rotten person."
Chapter 52: Stay
Cangwu is indeed a bad person, unwilling to take any responsibility and having a cold temperament.
Even though he has lived for hundreds of years, he still can't find anything worth cherishing.
Like the mother and daughter he abandoned, he may have some guilt in his heart, but more of it is indifference from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone will die, he said to me. No matter how many years they are together, the mother and daughter will die eventually. It's just a matter of time.
Therefore, whether the mother and daughter are alive or dead is just an insignificant matter to him.
If I could, I really wanted to punch him hard on that pretty good face of his.
I've heard enough of this kind of empty nonsense.
But in the end, I still brought Cangwu out of that underground experimental base.
When I returned to the earth, it was night. The moonlight was like water and the light was just right, not dazzling, but not completely dark either.
A stone got stuck in my shoe, and my foot hurt when I walked. The stone rubbed against the skin on the sole of my foot, reminding me of its presence with sharp pain.
Under the moonlight, I looked back at Cangwu beside me. He still looked calm and composed. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, the ecstasy in his eyes could not be concealed.
This stone will remain on the bottom of my shoe until I grind it away completely.
Under the cover of night, I walked in silence in the Muwu Forest. Cangwu, who was following behind me, carefully kept a distance from me and also remained silent.
In the darkness, two people walked in the dense forest, eerily quiet, like demons marching in silence.
After walking for a long time, my heart was shocked and a familiar feeling spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body.
Those little cubs are here again.
Before I entered the experimental base of the Garden of Eden, I was targeted by a group of monsters. They were timid but agile, and the neurotoxin I used to mimic them came from them.
Later, after I jumped into the elevator shaft, the little monsters had stopped following me, but now they were coming again.
It seems that they like the quality of my meat very much and are unwilling to give it up.
I thought to myself, these damn little things move quickly and are hard to catch, but before entering the experimental base of the Garden of Eden, I had already thought about how to deal with them.
The only problem is that Cangwu, who was following behind me, didn't have one.
Perhaps, letting this unstable guy die at the hands of these little monsters is also a good choice.
Thinking of this, I stopped, stretched out my right hand, gestured backwards, and spoke in a low voice.
"Be careful, something is following us."
Hearing this, Cangwu was a little surprised, and did not show any sign of nervousness, but spoke in a somewhat strange tone.
"That's funny. I thought you would want me to die here without getting your hands dirty."
It seems that Cangwu has also noticed the existence of those monsters. I looked around and camouflaged my body in an unobservable way, speaking slowly.
"I am an extremely contradictory person. I want you to die, but I don't want you to die."
"This is not a matter of dirty hands. I am just contradictory, not hypocritical."
This is the fact. On the one hand, I am afraid that Cangwu will do something bad in the future, but on the other hand, I feel that he can help me. It is a true double-edged sword, which makes me hesitant.
"But just now I finally made a decision."
"Since I have brought you out, I will do my best to keep you alive."
Hearing this, Cangwu's eyes flickered and he looked at me. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
"There is something wrong with your brain."
After saying that, Cangwu clapped his hands lightly, and crisp applause sounded. In the originally dead silent forest, there was suddenly a flash, and I saw countless black shadows rushing out at the speed of bullets, and stopped densely in front of me.
I saw a group of black creatures with bat heads and monkey bodies, but they were only as big as a cat.
Is this the true face of the monster?
I didn't have time to be surprised. I turned to look at Cangwu, hoping he could give me a reasonable explanation.
Cangwu wiped his hands, walked out slowly, looked at the little monsters squatting on the ground, and spoke slowly.
"These monsters were all born from my genes. In a sense, I am like their father."
"But in reality, the relationship between them and me is more like that of a master and a servant. I don't know the reason for this, but I knew it as early as ten years ago during the experiment."
"I have complete control over them."
As he spoke, Cangwu had already walked to the middle of the group of little monsters. He suddenly took a step, turned around, and looked at me again.
"When I came out, I sensed their presence. I was like a network that could connect the consciousness of each of them."
I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked at the densely packed little monsters. These little bastards were extremely fast and it would be quite troublesome if we really started fighting.
"So, you took the initiative to have these cubs come here."
Facing my question, Cangwu answered frankly.
"Yes, I'm always afraid that you'll change your mind and kill me."
"So, I thought I should at least have some means of self-protection. It's really dangerous to stay by your side."
Hearing this, I sighed. This guy is indeed not a good person. He wanted to get rid of me as soon as he came out.
Forget it, let him be.
Thinking of this, I waved my hand gently and said to Cangwu with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, you did it."
"You go."
However, contrary to my expectations, Cangwu had no intention of leaving. Instead, he looked at me, touched his chin thoughtfully, and spoke softly.
"But I've changed my mind now."
"You are more interesting than I thought. You are stubborn, extreme, and contradictory."
As he spoke, Cangwu let out a long sigh, his eyes became complicated, and he spoke in a somewhat bleak tone.
“It’s a bit like me back then.”
I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but reply.
"I can't agree with this. I'm not like you."
Cangwu's shoulders moved slightly, and he explained helplessly.
"It's true. I wasn't like this at the beginning."
"It's just that you seem to have taken a different path from me."
"So I want to see if the path I gave up at the beginning would be the right choice."
Hearing this, I realized what Cangwu meant, and was a little surprised, and couldn't help but speak.
"what do you mean……"
