Chapter 6 The Trilemma

The dark universe...the stars like fireflies...the strange sounds and words that cannot be heard clearly...

Zhang Yifei had a strange dream all night. On the second day, all the dreams disappeared and he got up early in the morning. The dreams were forgotten most of the time when they woke up. After changing clothes and hanging their beards at home, he called Xue Zi - the other party got up very early, even earlier than him. The urgency of the doomsday made him start to start business before dawn.

"Oh! Old Zhang!" Xue Zi was very enthusiastic when he heard Zhang Yifei's voice, "Yes, it's all out! The relationship is strong enough! Why, come here to see?"

"Okay, give me an address."

"Wufu Road Grain Reserve, come quickly, call me when you come!"

"Yeah." After Zhang Yifei got up, he drove to-the modified Tiguan had been broken, and the car was towed away without knowing who had towed it away. He thought that it was probably taken away by the director when he helped the scene, and he didn't want to know what the specific thing was.

Fortunately, there was an old Jetta in the garage. After getting on the bus, he headed towards Wufu Road.

The streets were even more chaotic as he passed on the road - along the way, he saw three fights, more than a dozen quarrels, and a student tour that was hard to see once a year.

Those who believe in the arrival of the end of the world are even more irritable. The binding force of the law is getting weaker and weaker in the face of the oppression of death. The patience between strangers is very low, and they often shout and kill. Most of the quarrels arise between families. The stubborn persistence and helpless explanations between parents and children eventually turn into endless debates.

However, overall, society is still in a stable state, and there is no large-scale chaos and conflict. After all, at this stage, the group that dominates the world is still people over 40 years old - and this group of people has not accepted such rumors about the Internet, not to mention that this "doomsday rumor" has "the wolf is here" twice, and it always sounds so nonsense.

With what he saw along the way, Zhang Yifei arrived at the place where he made an appointment with Xue Zi on Wufu Road. There was a food processing factory and a grain storage warehouse in this place. Xue Zi was leading a group of people in front of him to arrange something.

"Oh, here we are here!" Zhang Yifei got out of the car, and Xue Zi put down the account book in his hand and came over, with a passionate face, "How is our side?"

Xue Zi walked to Zhang Yifei and pointed to a tractor coming out of the grain reserve warehouse and whispered: "The wheat on the city where we locked down is all harvested in autumn. Now, in the summer, I can't get grain even if I go to the town and the countryside. This is all old grain."

"Oh." Zhang Yifei nodded - the National Grain Reserve sells old grain every year.

The so-called old grain is the kind of grain purchased in recent years and stored in the grain warehouse to prevent famine. This kind of grain must not be stored all the time. Every three or five years, even if the preservation method is good, the grain will start to rot and worm, so it must be disposed of as soon as possible. Of course, this is a circular system. If the old grain is sold here, new grain will be earned in the reserve warehouse, and the cycle will be generated.

"The old grain is now littered out and then made into vacuum-packaged food with added strong preservatives." Xue Zi pointed to another food processing factory as he spoke, "There was no such technology in it. In the past few days, I have invested in and added new equipment, and the sealing and preservation technology is first-class, making it into a tasteless compressed biscuit that can be eaten for more than ten or twenty years."

"This is a critical moment..." Zhang Yifei looked at the tractor coming out of the national grain reserve warehouse, "It must be related to wanting to make old grains."

"Who said no! But there are people on this side, so let's just eat a small head, the big head belongs to someone else." Xue Zi grinned as he spoke, "But don't underestimate this. Although we don't have many benefits, we have gained the advantage of entering the system. After the end of the world, only those who enter the system can live for a long time."

Xue Zi saw it very thoroughly.

"Come on, come on, I won't tell you anymore, come and help." As Xue Zi spoke, another tractor came out. He patted Zhang Yifei on his shoulder twice to signal to follow him. "There are many people who have come here to make trouble recently, most of them are those students shouting those messy slogans of sharing resources fair treatment, and they were so annoyed. There are not many stupid people under my hands that can shake the scene. There are not enough people, and you are just here."

Without any sensation, Xue Zi brought Zhang Yifei into his system. The process was invisible and did not make people feel embarrassed at all.

Most of the people who can get this far from being a rude family are smart.

Zhang Yifei was prepared and carefully studied his system and operation in one day. Of course, as Xue Zi said, there were indeed a few troubles here during the day, but after the leader broke his arm and threw it out, the scene calmed down.

It was not until after 8 o'clock that the work was about to end. Before the work was over, a big man came - the director of the Municipal Grain Bureau. Since this guy was not on TV as often as the director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Yifei only found out about his identity after Xue Zi reminded him.

He came here to see how it was operating here. This person was Xue Zi’s backer.

However, after he came over, he first glanced at Zhang Yifei not by looking at the food operation on his side, but by staring at Zhang Yifei, with a slight surprise in his eyes.

What was even more surprising was that Zhang Yifei, like the director of the Public Security Bureau, also had a familiar feeling.

"All of them are insect parasites?" Zhang Yifei finally confirmed some of the thoughts in his heart, and then he saw the Food Director put away his surprise. Although he didn't know why this "same type" worked here, he didn't understand why he didn't have this person a few days ago. He suddenly joined today, but he still politely greeted Zhang Yifei and said, "Don't forget what happened tomorrow!"

"Hahaha, you guys know each other!" Xue Zi came to interrupt when he saw this situation. After laughing, the director also turned the topic to work.

Only Zhang Yifei was left alone, and a storm was stirring up in his heart - if this is the case in every city, will the bugs occupy the top leadership? And what is going on tomorrow? He had only wanted to meet with his private meeting with his own secretary before, but he never thought that the director of the grain was the same. Is this a large-scale meeting?

When Zhang Yifei was thinking a lot, the director arranged the next period of work and left.

"Brother, the relationship is tough!" After seeing off the director, it was already dark. Xue Zi left nearly twenty tough men to watch the venue. Then he pulled Zhang Yifei to drink, "Let's go and have a walk, I know that the mutton is grilled with oil, and it's so delicious. After a while, it's really messy. We don't have this blessing anymore, hurry up and enjoy it."

As Xue Zi spoke, he led Zhang Yifei and three or four heads to a nearby store of roasting whole lamb in his business. At this time, most of the business systems in the city were still operating, and all five people, including Xue Zi, were stubborn men. After ordering a portion of more than a dozen people in the store, he ordered six bottles of white wine and a box of beer.

Between the wine tables, there are naturally some processes of mutual understanding and bragging about each other, which is a common means to enhance feelings.

Each person had a pound of white wine and four or five bottles of beer. Apart from Zhang Yifei, the table was a little unconscious. After drinking and eating, Xue Zi hugged everyone to go to the bath center for health care. However, because there were important things to consider tomorrow, Zhang Yifei said, "Go next time", and then he spread out amid the contempt and ridicule of a group of people.

After the stall was apart, Zhang Yifei walked back all the way back to drive - this place is not far from the food factory, and it is faster to walk the path, and he also wants to think about some things.

Regarding whether to go tomorrow - based on his speculation over the past few days, especially after meeting the director of the Food Bureau today, he confirmed something in his mind - that kind of insect is probably an alien creature. After all, after watching science fiction movies for so many years, Zhang Yifei would not be as pedantic and persistent as the protagonist of the doomsday novel movie, and he still has basic speculation ability.

This bug is likely to be a species of native creature on a meteorite or planet in the dust cloud. I don’t know what methods it uses to parasitize on humans after it comes.

And judging from the appearance, they can not only occupy human bodies while parasitizing, but also occupy everything in the human brain - including knowledge and memory. These bugs look very organized, disciplined, and very skilled in the response methods of doomsday. Many of the top leaders of humans are also parasitized.

This is a very terrifying alien species - and they seem to have made Zhang Yifei, who failed parasitics, accused him of being one of his companions - this can also reasonably explain why the prison disaster in the past few days was resolved so easily, and it can also clarify the attitude of the Public Security Bureau Director, and make Zhang Yifei speculate that their power is not only what Zhang Yifei saw.

And he finally figured out why tomorrow would be chosen in a place that was rarely visited.

…………

Because it was not a private meeting at all, but a large-scale meeting—a large-scale meeting where all the people who were parasitic gathered together to discuss major events.

Choose an abandoned suburban school that is rarely visited and can accommodate many people - it's the best!

It can not only cover up people's eyes and make the meeting go smoothly.

"Will you go tomorrow?" Zhang Yifei has been struggling with this question for a long time - especially after confirming some thoughts in his heart.

He now faces three choices: first, go. But after he goes, he doesn't know if he will reveal his flaws. After all, there is a dead man with a hole in his head at the scene. If someone finds out, he will inevitably doubt his identity. At that time, facing so many "same kind" with super powerful combat power, he will not be executed even if he dies.

Second, if he doesn't go, he will completely lose the opportunity to integrate and understand them. He may even be directly listed on the "blacklist", kill him when he encounters it, and even be "wanted". At that time, he doesn't know how much human power the other party has, but the police alone - after all, he is actually responsible for murder, which will make him have little foothold in this city. In addition, if the parasite exists, there is not much way for him to survive in the dark area. Even if he is lucky enough to avoid it, then when the doomsday comes, he will fall into absolute passiveness.

Third, don’t go and expose the parasites. There are two ways to expose them. One is to anonymously expose the Internet. This efficiency and credibility rate are relatively low. After all, the rumors of the arrival of the doomsday are not accepted by the public. Moreover, under such a "hot" thing, it is difficult for other things to attract attention. It is unrealistic to completely spread the information about parasites for more than two months. Moreover, even if it is valued in the future, there will be no reward or compensation in the near future, and it will even be tracked by "people" with technology.

Apart from the exposure of the Internet, you have to do it by real name. However, local senior management has not known much, and other places have no idea. Maybe he found a human "high-level" and the "higher management" of this "higher management" is a parasite. Then the news is intercepted and cannot be spread, and he will also be wanted.

The most important thing is that even if the top humans are clean, who will believe in a "unproven" news. To prove it, it must be personally verified to be convincing. Then, his identity as a parasite is exposed, who will believe in an enemy or a parasite? Let's take a step back and say that even if he believes, he will be the first group of guinea pigs.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei faces three choices - but it is a three-difficulty choice. If you take a wrong step, you will never look back.

Carrying these chaotic thoughts, Zhang Yifei weighed the pros and cons, and then entered a small alley again. Then he saw a person turning into the other end of the corner. The two of them looked at each other twenty meters away from each other, and Zhang Yifei felt familiar again.

"Another?" He was about to raise his arm and say hello to the other party "friendly", but he alertly discovered that the other party secretly took out a black and dirty thing from his arms, and then quickly raised his arm and the flames suddenly rose.
