Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Several months later.

Still no news?

As Luo Na tossed the things to Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, she asked Zhang Dapeng in the living room.

Zhang Dapeng is currently adjusting the large screens; he recently upgraded both large screens in the castle.

He shook his head. "No, tomorrow's a holiday, so the three of you should be resting too, right?"

Luo Na nodded. "Take a break. Lei Zi and Xiao Zhe are going to line up to buy soda and barbecue. Captain Huo and Shuangshuang aren't here. We all need to celebrate the New Year too, right?"

It's a pity, really.

Two New Years have passed since the apocalypse. Lin Shuangshuang was not present in the first New Year, and neither Huo Ling nor Lin Shuangshuang were present in the second New Year.

Several months ago, a major corruption case and a high-risk security case were exposed, implicating a series of high-ranking officials. Now, they have been sentenced, some in jail and others executed. However, an explosion on that day successfully killed the main culprit and also caused the investigators who were pursuing him to disappear.

The missing investigator is Lin Shuangshuang.

Huo Ling rushed out when Lin Shuangshuang had the accident and has not returned since.

Luo Na's tone was somewhat downcast when she mentioned this, "Can Captain Huo find Shuang'er?"

Zhang Dapeng paused for a second, then smiled and said, "Of course we can. Didn't your Brother Zhao say that before the accident, Chen Jian had a spatial storage sphere in his hand? It contained a spatial displacement array. Due to the explosion, the displacement location may have shifted. Shuangshuang should have been teleported somewhere. Xiao Huo is so strong, he can definitely find Shuangshuang."

Lin Shuangshuang's recording pen was stored in a space card. Since the storage space and the space cannot overlap, the space card was left behind at the scene.

It was this very recording pen that successfully exposed the group of humanoid weapons to the audience, laying them bare in an extremely tragic way.

People had heard of this group before, but never really understood them. It's like how before the apocalypse, everyone heard about guns, but never bothered to find out how they were made.

So.

Many people marched to protest human experimentation and strongly demanded an end to the program.

Chen Jian's initial intentions seemed good. In the early days of the apocalypse, the humanoid weapons did indeed make great contributions. They went to the most dangerous rescue operations and when enemy countries invaded. Wherever it was most dangerous, they were there.

But they are human too. Chen Jian started this project not for the future of humanity. He was purely driven by selfish motives, wanting to create his own army of humanoid weapons and build his own new empire.

When the humanoid weapon project was first launched, quite a few people died due to genetic incompatibility, but he managed to keep it a secret.

This is so as not to affect the progress of this plan.

After Chen Jian's actions were exposed by the recording pen, people were outraged, and the humanoid weapons were even more disheartened. They thought they were doing it for the future of humanity, but in reality, they were being used. Chen Jian even abused his power for personal gain and obtained huge profits.

Su Yu took the opportunity to push for the closure of the humanoid weapon program. Her point was that there were already quite a few strong people among the superhumans, and there was no need to carry out forced modifications, since human modification programs themselves violated morality and ethics.

The mortality rate during the conversion process is not 20%, but as high as 75%. Being a humanoid weapon is not so easy.

The matter was officially concluded the day before yesterday, and the humanoid weapon project will be permanently terminated.

The initial data has been destroyed by Lin Shuangshuang, and the remaining data from later generations (Nth generation) were also destroyed some time ago.

When Luo Na mentioned this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Shuang'er and Captain Huo would be happy if they knew, wouldn't they?"

Zhang Dapeng packed up his tools and said with some emotion, "It definitely will."

The two exchanged a glance.

I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe weren't as lively as before. After experiencing so many things, everyone had become much more composed. They returned one after the other.

They were carrying food and drinks in their hands.

"Brother Zhang, Sister Nana, Brother Lei and I also bought Spring Festival couplets. Shall we share in the festive spirit?"

"We still have to eat dumplings for Chinese New Year, right? It's New Year's Eve, let's have the younger ones make some dumplings."

Zhang Dapeng and Luo Na couldn't help but laugh. With the two of them back, the house finally became a little more lively.

"If you want to eat dumplings, then make them. If you're going to eat dumplings, you have to make them yourself. Tomorrow I'll prepare the filling, and the three of you can make them." Zhang Dapeng took on the task first.

Luo Na laughed when she heard that, "Fine, I'll make it, just don't think it's ugly."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe both said it was no problem, saying that making dumplings was easy.

Wu Zhe handed the Spring Festival couplets to the two of them to look at. "A lot of people are scrambling for them today. They say the paper mill has started making paper again, using old waste paper. I think they're pretty well made. Putting some red on them makes me feel better."

Luo Na reached out and ruffled Wu Zhe's short hair, then took the Spring Festival couplets. Looking at the four characters "flowers in full bloom and the moon shining brightly," she almost couldn't hold back her tears. "Okay, let's get up early tomorrow, put up the couplets, and make dumplings."

Gao Lei placed the barbecue and colorful sodas on the table. "These sodas are so fizzy now, one sip and your head will go numb. But I still think the old Coke was better. These new sodas are too strong."

Zhang Dapeng said, "These days, everyone's life is numb; we need some stimulation to dilute everything. It's not just soda; other foods are also very strong in flavor."

It's the second year of the apocalypse, and everyone's lives are gradually returning to normal.

This calm doesn't mean the end of the world is over, but rather that people have gotten used to this kind of life. When someone around them dies, they might even congratulate them on their early release, because the rest of us still have to endure it.

Death has become commonplace.

Barbecue is also made from the meat of mutated animals. Now there is a method to remove the source of pollution. The meat of mutated animals that has been released from the source of pollution is edible, which greatly alleviates people's food crisis. However, fresh fruits and vegetables are now sold at exorbitant prices.

Fortunately, the little castle has no shortage of fruits and vegetables.

next morning.

Lorna hadn't slept all night, so she got up early and found everyone already downstairs.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe are mixing paste.

The two couldn't tell which side of the couplet was left and which was right, and were discussing it.

Didn't you ask when you bought it?

"No, who would ask that? Nobody asked me when I bought it."

"Oh dear, this is troublesome. I don't know how to do this either. If only Brother Huo were here, he knows everything."

"Why don't you ask the mistresses?"

"They're doing a big clean-up on the third floor. Brother Zhao's room is a mess, they'll be busy."

Luo Na wanted to laugh after hearing this. "I'll do it. The couplet distinguishes between left and right, and the tone pattern is oblique on the top and level on the bottom."

She went over and looked at it, then read it aloud: "May Heaven add years to your life and may spring fill the universe and may blessings fill your home. The horizontal scroll reads 'Welcome the New Year.' It's pretty good. Take it and post it on the forum. I'll post the rest, like 'Safe travels and abundant harvests.'"

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe looked at Luo Na as if she were their savior, somewhat incredulous.

"Sis, you can do this too?"

"Sister Nana is amazing."

Lorna said with considerable pride, "That's right. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm quite knowledgeable, okay?" She said that although she wasn't very learned, she was better than the two boys.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe started laughing foolishly again.
