I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 47: Mountains are still mountains, water is still water
When Yang Ao heard Shen Jin ask this question, his first reaction was that Shen Jin was joking with him, because Yang Ao knew that Shen Jin was essentially the same as him, a person who rarely doubted himself. But now he suddenly asked him this question. Something was wrong, very wrong!
"Eh? Brother Jin, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did Sister Qian say that you...can't do it?"
Shen Jin rolled his eyes at Yang Ao, "Actually, I've had this experience before. At that time... I was driving a motorhome, and I met many enthusiastic female hikers on the road. We had a lot of fights with them, and it was a constant battle. As a result... a few days later, when someone wanted to get on my car again, I was really powerless. It's kidney deficiency, which is often caused by excessive fatigue. It's okay, you just need a good rest!"
Shen Jin: "Be serious!"
"Okay, Jin-ge, do you really need me to answer this question?"
Yang Ao emphasized the pronunciation of the word "really".
Shen Jin was stunned for a moment. He remembered the coin he had thrown. The moment the coin was in his hand, he already knew the answer...
Did he just want to hear Yang Ao talk about his strengths and weaknesses? To summarize his gains and losses since the end of the world?
No, he just needed Yang Ao to affirm what he had done during this period and say: You did a great job!
One more sentence: You have really made a contribution to Q City!
Final summary: To the people here, you are their savior!
Shen Jin looked at Yang Ao's sincere eyes, and he understood. He understood that Yang Ao understood him.
"Hey! You are such a naughty boy! But... I give you full marks for this logical reasoning!"
Yang Ao pulled Shen Jin up from the ground and sat on the city wall together. "Brother Jin, the end of the world is not all bad. Look, on Earth without air pollution, the stars are so bright that they can even illuminate the streets!"
Shen Jin's face was filled with black lines: "What's the starlight? It's the street lights that are on! I supplied the electricity!"
Yang Ao: (°ー°〃)
"Ahem, that's about right. The main thing is that you can understand what I mean by environmental protection..."
Shen Jin took out an iron storage box from his backpack and placed it on the ground, then took out two cans of Budweiser beer from it, "Come on, have a drink!"
"You have to drink it! Beer is... not something you see often!"
“Pah~!”
“Pah~!”
The two opened the cans, clinked their bottles together and started drinking. Shen Jin also took out two bags of Drunkard Peanuts and two bags of beef jerky from the box next to him. It was just like the dinner party in the university dormitory a few years ago, simple... and happy.
The two of them started chatting while eating, "Yang Ao, I suddenly feel that we two might be the same kind of people!"
"Of course! I knew it the moment I teased you and you asked me how much I had cheated, hahahaha!"
Yang Ao smiled freely and carefreely, as if he had never felt unfamiliar with Shen Jin. The two hadn't seen each other for two months, but as long as they met and said a few words, they could tell that they were still the people who could trust each other.
"Then let me ask you a question. What is your biggest wish for the future? Have you ever thought about what will happen to us in the future?"
"In the future...? In the future, I will follow you. I will definitely cling to your thigh tightly. Is there any need to say that?"
Yang Ao pretended to hug Shen Jin's thigh, but was kicked by Shen Jin in disgust, "Good fellow! If I hadn't seen several women enter your room, I would really be afraid of you fencing with me. No... It seems like you have a double-faced hobby. Damn, if you do this again, I will call the police!"
"Haha, Brother Jin, you are not careful again. There is no point calling the police now. You should call the Dragnet!"
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Yes, you are the most delicate!"
"Shit!? You can drive on this broken road? Drink, drink, come on, let's toast to ghs!"
"Come!"
The two took two more sips, "What if I'm not here? What are your plans for the future?"
Yang Ao thought carefully for a moment, "Heavenly Dragnet! I will join the Heavenly Dragnet. At least I have someone to back me up. It's too dangerous to fight alone!"
"Then what?"
"Then?"
"Yes, what happens after you join Dragnet?"
"In the future... I will probably follow the Dragnet to carry out missions, right? Maybe I will meet a group of good brothers? I will kill many, many zombies, and... become a second-level extraordinary person. Don't laugh! I think my qualifications will definitely allow me to become a second-level extraordinary person. Then... I will become an official, and then... fight! I will keep fighting zombies, fighting zombies for the rest of my life, until I kill them completely, and then... retire, drive my RV, and start enjoying life~!"
"You'll be fighting zombies your whole life?"
Yang Ao nodded seriously: "Brother Jin, not only will I have to fight zombies for the rest of my life, but all humans will have to fight zombies for the rest of their lives. This is the mission of our human race, and no one can escape it!"
Shen Jin seemed to be struck by something. "The destiny of mankind... is to destroy zombies...?"
"right!"
"What if the price is your death? What if the price is the death of your friends, women, and children? Will you still be so determined?"
Yang Ao smiled slyly, "If you encounter that kind of situation, just take a break before killing the zombies. It takes generations to move the mountains, so why give up on yourself all at once? I have such excellent genes, and I want to pass them on. When the time comes, my son can stand in school and brag about his father's deeds while picking up girls. How cool is that? Oh, maybe he can get extra points in the college entrance examination and get into a good university, haha!"
"You call this...selective resistance!?"
"I like your description, it's very literary. If I were to summarize it, it would be: As long as you can't kill me, do it to the death, but the premise is that you can't kill me!"
The two looked at each other and smiled , "Hahaha, drink!"
“Done!”
Shen Jin looked at the free and easy Yang Ao and recalled the first time he met him. The mysterious reasoning in the pit at that time almost sent him away.
But later, Yang Ao stubbornly requested to join his territory, obviously seeing his extraordinaryness and seizing the opportunity to cling to the thigh of the system winner. Yes, clinging to the thigh. Later, Yang Ao dared to fight, and the two experienced many battles together, until the last battle, they were separated by the tide of zombies.
To be honest, Shen Jin has always had a psychological advantage. He believes that he is unique, far-sighted and capable of thinking ahead.
However, today Shen Jin got to know the real Yang Ao, a free and easy, passionate and realistic person. He might not be any less psychologically competent than Yang Ao, and it even gave him new inspiration.
After this conversation, Shen Jin's doubts were gone and the pressure on his shoulders was suddenly relieved.
"Even if I wasn't chosen by the system, can I stay out of trouble in the apocalypse? I know how bad the treatment of ordinary people is. Now that I'm the lord of two bases, can I still live my old life as a nerd?"
Shen Jin understood that no matter whether he was chosen by the system to be the "savior" or not, he had to fight the zombies until his death!
Everyone in this world who is fighting against zombies is playing the role of "savior", Tianluodiwang is, Xia Anbang is, and Boss Zhao is too!
Shen Jin is just a "savior" with more powerful abilities. If that's the case, why do you put so much pressure on yourself?
This pressure is clearly on all of humanity!
"Yang Ao, I understand! The mountain is there and it won't change just because of my opinion! From today on, we must continue to move forward steadily. As long as we don't die, we can definitely kill all the zombies! I'm sure of that!"
"I know! That's why I want to follow you!"
In just one day, Shen Jin experienced the ignorant state of "seeing mountains as mountains and water as water";
To the state of confusion where "mountains are not mountains, water is not water";
And now to the complete enlightenment that “mountains are still mountains, water is still water”!
"Let's go! I'm going to do something big tomorrow!"
Yang Ao didn't know why Shen Jin had changed so much. The decadent aura just now disappeared completely, as if he had instantly put on the coat of the boss of the No. 1 Home. "Ah? What's going on?"
Shen Jin smiled mysteriously: "You reminded me, since it's brightly lit outside, then, night... is the zombies' fatal weakness!"
