Chapter 145 Kara’s Powerlessness
Walking on the dirt road in the barren mountains, Zhang Yi and the others were following the unclear blood stains scattered on the rocks, looking for an unknown existence.
It was a tragedy they discovered when they passed by a farm. Initially, no one wanted to get close to it, but Carla's keen sense of smell smelled the stench of corpses. It was estimated that there was no one alive there, so Zhang Yi decided to help them sort it out. A relic.
In this desolate area, death does not seem to be a particularly surprising thing.
The farm was littered with corpses, which made people shudder. There were several corpses on the ground that had been eaten clean. When Zhang Yi and the others approached, several vultures were frightened and flew high, but they did not leave. , just stopped on the dry old tree outside the farm.
The vulture's eyes stared straight at the three strangers, as if curious about what these humans who had interrupted their feeding wanted to do.
After a simple investigation, it was found that all seven members of the farm family died violently, and nothing in the house was missing. It seemed that the murderer came specifically to eat them.
Pietro speculated whether wild animals might have attacked them, such as brown bears, but Zhang Yi didn't think so. There were indeed many rare and exotic animals in this wasteland world, but judging from this tragic scene, There is a high probability that this was made by wild intelligent creatures.
There is a family of seven on the farm. This can be clearly seen in their family photos. There is also a specially prepared baby room in the home. It seems that they live a solitary but peaceful and happy life. God knows this kind of tragedy. Why did it happen to them.
Maybe they were unlucky.
Zhang Ye said.
In this degenerated and twisted world, no one can survive alone, and death may be a good thing for them.
Immediately afterwards, when they were preparing to collect the corpses for them to bury, Zhang Yi and others suddenly discovered that there were not many corpses at the scene. There were seven people in total, but there were only five and a half at the scene. This shows that the murderer packed them for himself. Ordered one.
Relying on Kara's five senses that were different from ordinary people, the three of them quickly found the blood stains left outside, and followed the blood stains dripping every few dozen meters into the mountains.
However, Kara's expression was not very good along the way.
"Still thinking about that little girl?"
Zhang Yi spoke, and the team needed to have proper communication. Zhang Yi didn't want to see Kara being troubled by this. You know, although Kryptonians are extremely hard and invulnerable, their hearts are very soft.
"." Kara said nothing, just lowered her head and hurried on.
"Kara, I can't guarantee how important I am to you, but I should be considered one of the people you trust most, right?" Zhang Yi moved closer to Kara. "So if there is anything you don't have to hold in your heart, you can talk about it."
Hearing this, Kara paused, and after being silent for a while, she finally spoke slowly.
"I just can't figure it out. What's going on in this world? I can't understand anything now. What should it be like? Why would a little girl do something like repaying kindness with revenge? There's nothing in her mind. Conscience? Can she still be worthy of being a 'person'?
I really can't accept it. In the past, on our planet Krypton, some senior elders had studied many civilized topics and written several post-apocalyptic books. They described in detail how civilization would become after being baptized. Dark and unbearable, but me! But I think that’s just a story!
Can you understand?
That's just a story, that shouldn't happen. The heart of every human being should be kind and bright. No matter how dark the world is, there are always people who dare to be the light chasers, because 'hope' is still there, it exists. In everyone’s heart!
But here I am,
I really."
Zhang Yi raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put his arm around Kara's shoulder.
"Feeling powerless, right?" After a long sigh, Zhang Yi pursed his lips and looked at Kara, who had her head lowered. Although she couldn't see her expression, Zhang Yi believed that he could understand her current mood. .
"Do you feel particularly empty and powerless in your heart? Do you not understand why this society has become so cruel? Do you doubt whether you still need to save them?"
Zhang Yi glanced at Pietro next to him. Perhaps Pietro had a deeper understanding of this topic.
"Don't doubt yourself, Kara. The reason why you are in trouble and get into trouble in your heart is because you were wrong from the beginning. You are kind-hearted, you have hope, and you still treat them as 'people' .”
"But they are no longer 'human'."
Zhang Yi shook his head slightly and continued.
"Don't talk about those empty words about those who chase the light. Those who rush into the darkness shouting about friendship, bonds, and the future. They only exist in ideals and are an excuse for the weak to place their hopes on others. They They want to be saved, but they don’t want the person they sacrifice to be themselves.”
"You said there will always be people looking for hope, but when people can no longer even afford the most basic food and clothing, do you think hope is still important to these people? Can they still be considered 'human beings'?"
"I don't know." Kara murmured, her voice like a mosquito.
"Then go find the answer yourself. Pietro and I will always be with you." Zhang Yi patted Carla's shoulder gently.
"Yes, we are family." Pietro also said.
Although Pietro knew that he was too clumsy to participate in such things as making sense, this did not mean that he did not understand Carla. After all, he himself came from a world of despair similar to this one.
The three of them walked all afternoon and finally arrived at the murderer's base camp before the sun set.
It was a cave located on a cliff. The cave was more than 20 meters above the ground. At the bottom of the cliff, countless bones that had been chewed were left on the ground. Inside were not only human bones, but also the bones of some large beasts.
Zhang Yi even saw the skeletal structure of a mammoth, which shows how extensive hunting is that exists here.
"That thing should be inside, let me go."
Kara took a deep breath and temporarily threw away all the worries in her heart. She kneaded her fingers and made a 'click-click' sound.
"be safe."
Zhang Yi did not refuse Kara's request to fight. After what happened in the previous village, Kara had been holding back for too long. At this time, she needed something to let her vent.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi added another sentence.
"Pay attention to the safety of the other party. I only have one requirement to absorb the energy from that thing, and that is that I need him to be alive. Don't bring out a bowl of meat sauce all at once. I can't handle that."
