RNP Chapter 012 The Rule Maker
Chapter 012 The Rule Maker
Six years old!
At such an innocent and carefree age, they ended up being used as blood bags.
"You know that person, Liu Jiaming."
"Base Commander?" Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan was furious. "They were definitely up to no good."
If at the beginning, Meng Shisan only hated the base because of the Hero's Tomb and wanted to overthrow something, now he really wants to destroy the base.
Even if such a base is humanity's last hope, it has no reason to exist.
Ultimately, it's just a tool for the powerful and wealthy to exploit the lower classes.
"By the way, how did you know?"
"She told me."
Meng Shisan was taken aback: "The little guy didn't say anything."
"Are you brainless? I'm a cell! A cell! Of course, it's the cells in her body that told me that!"
"You can communicate?" Meng Shisan asked, somewhat surprised.
"Nonsense, if you can communicate, why can't we?"
"Then ask her how she got to the wasteland."
Meng Shisan was still very curious about this.
After a long while, a voice finally came: "She escaped on her own..."
The matter is actually not complicated.
From birth, Er'er was secretly sent into the wasteland by the field operations department every day.
It's no exaggeration to say that Er'er practically grew up in the wilderness.
Over the years, she has been supporting Liu Jiajia, the base chief's daughter.
Her kidneys, liver, and even heart were transplanted to Liu Jiajia.
In addition, Liu Jiajia needs to receive blood transfusions every day.
If things continue like this, Er'er will only ever be Liu Jiajia's blood bag until she dies.
But just yesterday.
When Er Er was once again assigned to be sent to the wasteland by the field operations department, some of the guys protested.
They even ran away with everyone.
Er'er then wandered alone into the wilderness.
Having learned the cause and effect, Meng Shisan looked at Er Er again.
He couldn't imagine how she had endured the past six years all by herself.
Now he's figured it out.
The reason the base made its pioneers sow seeds like crazy was, frankly, to create blood packs for them.
Reluctant to risk themselves and their children's lives, they attempted to integrate the genes of pioneers.
Judging from the children of Cao Er and Yang Jiu, their fate might not be much better than Er Er's.
"If Cao Er knew that the children he had such high hopes for had ended up like this, I wonder if he would still be so focused on the base."
Shaking his head, Meng Shisan didn't think much of it and continued, "By the way, are you sure she's my niece?"
"What's there to be unsure about? Her gene sequence is almost exactly the same as yours. If she's not your niece, then who else could she be my niece?"
No, what's yours is mine; you could even say she's my niece.
"You can see other people's gene sequences?" Meng Shisan was a little surprised; this little guy seemed quite capable.
The little guy was speechless: "If I can't see it, can't I just ask?"
"They wouldn't lie to you, would they?"
Meng Shisan asked with great concern, "There's nothing I can do; this skill is too overpowered."
It may seem ordinary at first glance, but in reality, it's more advanced than any interrogation method.
"Cells don't lie to cells, we're not you humans." The little guy looked speechless.
Unfortunately, it only exists in Meng Shisan's mind; he can't see its little expressions.
"By the way, how come you can talk all of a sudden?" Meng Shisan asked again.
"I'm not mute, I've always been able to speak, but this time I have to thank the river. It kept tearing me apart, which actually made me evolve."
As it spoke, deep within Meng Shisan's mind, which he could not see, new cells began to split off.
Meng Shisan looked at the river and shook his head, thinking that only this little guy would be grateful to the river.
He was thoroughly tormented by the river.
If it weren't for his special physique, he would have been torn to shreds by the river like those stones.
"Wait a minute, how come Er'er is alright?" He suddenly realized. "Could it be that Er'er, like me, has self-healing abilities?"
"You have absolutely no self-healing ability," the little guy said. "You're just special because you can clearly give us instructions."
It's like you woke us up, yeah, that's what I mean.
As for Er'er, she was lucky. Didn't you notice? She stayed close to the cliff face the whole time.
This must be the rule of the river.
Otherwise, the cliff face would have been torn apart by the river long ago.
Meng Shisan thought about it for a moment, and then looked more closely at Er'er, who was tightly gripping the tow hook. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
It immediately surfaced.
He could see that Er'er was about to give up.
"Why do you want me to stay in the water a little longer?" the little guy immediately protested.
Meng Shisan ignored it and surfaced to take a look.
The storm did indeed stop, but the air was still filled with a lot of yellow sand.
Without thinking much, Meng Shisan picked up Er'er and climbed up the trailer hook.
It was him; anyone else might not have been able to carry over 100 pounds.
"What are you doing!" the little guy immediately complained. "It's so comfortable in the water."
"Stop, stop, stop." Meng Shisan immediately shut the guy up. Like Yang Jiu, he was quite the chatterbox.
After putting down Er'er, Meng Shisan looked around.
All around was a hazy gray, with endless yellow sand, making it impossible to breathe properly.
Meng Shisan hurriedly rummaged through the base vehicle and found a piece of clothing. Regardless of whether it was clean or not, he tore it open and made a makeshift mask.
Only after doing all this were they able to remove the armor from Er Er's body.
"Er Er," he called softly, his eyes filled with heartache.
Despite being afraid of water, she didn't utter a sound when I tried to put her down.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for a child like that?
After a while, Er'er slowly woke up.
She wrapped her arms around Meng Shisan's neck without saying a word, just curled up in Meng Shisan's arms.
She was afraid, but she dared not say it.
Meng Shisan didn't say much, he just gently patted her back.
Even the questions he wanted to ask before the storm were now forgotten.
That must have been a very painful memory, and he didn't want to reopen Er'er's wounds and make her relive those unworthy memories.
Thinking of this, he thought of something else.
It seems that every time I reach a crucial moment, I am always interrupted by all sorts of inexplicable reasons.
Xu Xin came when she first discovered that her body was experiencing problems.
Later, when communicating with Yang Jiu, Yang Jiu was just getting into memories of before he transmigrated when he was interrupted by the people at the medical center.
Then, just as he was beginning to doubt the world, he was interrupted again...
Finally, it was time for question 22. When the crucial question came, the storm broke.
It seems that at every crucial moment, an unstoppable, magical force is preventing him from exploring the truth of this world.
Thinking this way, he thought of the person Xu Xin mentioned, the creator of the base's rules.
"Do you know who made the base rules?" Meng Shisan asked in his mind.
The little guy, who was a bit annoyed after being forced to shut up by Meng Shisan, suddenly became interested upon hearing this: "You mean that one? It's very dangerous. I advise you not to provoke it for now."
"You actually know?" But then she thought about it again. She had met Xu Xin before, and given the little guy's talkative nature, it wasn't surprising that she was chatting with her companion. "Who is that person?"
"Who said it's a person?" the little guy asked curiously.
"Not human?" Meng Shisan was genuinely surprised.
