Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 58 The Story of Spider-Man and Rolex
Zhu Dan took the "learning materials" from Shen Jin with a serious face, and carefully put them into the built-in compartment of Spider-Man's tights.
"Thank you. By the way, why... in this apocalypse, would you still collect this kind of stuff? Do you have the leisure time to do so?"
"I don't like what you said. You can't be a whore and at the same time persuade someone to quit being a good person. Turning a public bus into a private car is a big taboo!"
Zhu Dan rolled his eyes: "Brother, you are so lewd!"
"You came all the way here to get a hard drive from me, and you have the nerve to say that to me???"
"Uh... I'm speechless!"
Zhu Dan is a very interesting young man. Shen Jin likes getting along with him very much. It's very natural, just like a friend. He says whatever he wants to say.
Just a little bit second-rate...
"Speaking of which... why do you always wear a Rolex watch outside your tights? Aren't you afraid it might get damaged? Besides... it's the end of the world now, this thing isn't worth much anymore. If you take it out, you might not even be able to exchange it for a loaf of bread!"
Before Shen Jin said this, he had already forgotten that his "Tian Di Xuan Huang" warehouse in Q City contained several boxes of various famous watches.
Zhu Dan touched his watch and sighed, "Hey... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, this story has to start from before the end of the world..."
"When I was a freshman, I met a senior. She was very, very gentle and very, very beautiful. She was a member of the student union that welcomed us freshmen. I fell in love with her at first sight! I felt that I must marry her in this life, so I pursued her for a whole semester. At the end of the semester, she finally agreed to me. For this reason, I specially booked a movie and invited her to watch my favorite Spider-Man with me! That's how we got together..."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "That's a good thing. The cute junior and the gentle senior finally got married!"
Zhu Dan waved his hands. "Then in the second semester of my freshman year, a man outside the school kept harassing her and kept sending her flowers. She never accepted them, so I went to warn the man not to come to school again. I still remember the scene at that time... He was wearing a well-fitting suit and a shiny Rolex watch, leaning on his red Ferrari, and said to me with disdain: Little brother, give up as soon as possible. Look at what you have to compare with me. I thought he was too arrogant at the time. I was such a gentle and kind senior sister, I would not fall for his tricks!"
"And then what?"
Shen Jin took a watermelon and started eating.
Zhu Dan's face was filled with reminiscence. "Then... it was just like what happened in those sad youth movies! Less than half a month later, she got into that man's car. The last thing she said to me was: Zhu Dan, I'm not a girl who just went to college anymore. Between a girl who watched Spiderman and a girl who wore a Rolex... I know how to choose. I can't convince myself to follow you and suffer for many years in exchange for an uncertain future. Goodbye, you are a good person!"
When Zhu Dan said this, he blinked unnaturally: "Hey... there is so much sand on your beach, it all got into my eyes..."
Shen Jin handed him half of the watermelon: "You should eat some too!"
The two of them ate the melon in silence for a while.
Zhu Dan smiled and said, "Oh! I am a straightforward person and I like to open my heart to others. I am sorry to embarrass you. My father always tells me not to...talk too much to people you have just met, and forget about it when the time comes!"
"It's okay. I like your straightforwardness. After the apocalypse... I haven't seen a personality like yours for a long time!"
Zhu Dan laughed at himself, "I know, if I hadn't awakened my superpowers, I would have been tricked to death by others, but... things are going well, aren't they? Since I have gained power, I will not allow anyone to do anything that harms others around me! No one should think of talking about the power of the end of the world in front of me, or saying that human life is cheaper than pigs... whoever is stronger is the father? When you were still a child, didn't your mother raise you? Why didn't your mother despise you for being weak? When you were still a child before the end of the world, didn't the country care about you? Why didn't it despise you for being uncivilized? Didn't they give you nine years of compulsory education to teach you how to be a human being? Didn't they apply for student loans for you to go to college? Now that you have awakened your superpowers, you start to want to be the best and want to take revenge on society? Do you want to step on your compatriots' heads to satisfy your twisted psychology? I don't agree! As long as I am alive, I will prevent the weak from being bullied, I will make the strong regulate their morals, and I will make the places I walk by... all fucking bright and clear!"
Shen Jin was shocked. He felt a sense of momentum and the righteous spirit of a scholar!
"Brother, it's me... I'm shallow-minded!"
Zhu Dan quickly came out of his previous aura. He waved his hands and said, "Oh! Brother, you don't have to say this. This is my great wish. It has nothing to do with you. As long as you can treat our compatriots like you did today, I, Zhu Dan, will always be your friend and will respond to your requests!"
On the way here, Zhu Dan had seen that there were more than 1,000 people living here, all of them maintaining their human dignity and enjoying a civilized life.
He thought Shen Jin was a good person and a like-minded person, so he talked so much to him.
Shen Jin also understood what he meant: "I'm afraid I can't reach your level, so I'll just do what I can!"
"Haha, yes, if every strong person can do what they can, humanity will not fall. One day, we will win this battle!"
"Well...I hope so!"
The two chatted for a while, and Shen Jin invited Zhu Dan to have a seafood barbecue dinner here. Zhu Dan almost dropped his tongue while eating.
He was inland of City D, close to the city center. Since it was not near the sea, he naturally could not think of getting so many delicious foods at the seaside. Of course, even if he wanted to, he could not get such big lobsters and crabs. These were dug out from hundreds of meters underground. What the waves could wash up were only small fish, shrimps and crabs, which certainly could not be so satisfying to eat.
"Brother! Your base is amazing! There's electricity at night, and the street lights are all installed. What a huge workload! And ... the one who keeps looking over here is Mu Yan, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you have a beautiful girl in a golden house, brother, you're really a role model for our generation!"
"Hey~! These are all useless! Drink, drink!"
Both of them are people with special powers, so they didn't feel it was that cold at the beach in winter. They ate barbecue and drank beer as if it was just like before the end of the world.
"Brother... I haven't finished what I said this afternoon yet. You asked me why I carry this Rolex. It's because... I think I might see her again one day. Really, I really thought so. One day... I can see her again somewhere in D City, and I can tell her: You don't have to choose now. Only children make choices. Adults want everything! You can totally get Spider-Man with a Rolex, haha~! Ha~!"
Shen Jin murmured: "So, this is Spider-Man wearing a Rolex..."
Tonight, Zhu Dan was drunk.
The next day, when Zhu Dan left, he said goodbye to Shen Jin and accidentally revealed a very important piece of news...
"What! There's a diamond mine in City D!?"
