Chapter 045 Father's Redemption
He could understand Cao Er's actions.
He doesn't trust others, and he also feels that others don't trust him.
It's better not to think about it too much, but once you do, you'll realize how tragic it is.
Meng Shisan did not refuse, not because he distrusted Cao Er, but to put Cao Er at ease.
After watching Cao Er leave, Meng Shisan led a group of children strolling towards the wasteland.
It's not about what he needs to do, but rather that these children, including Er'er, must understand the wasteland, delve into the wasteland, and ultimately conquer the wasteland if they want to survive in this world.
This is an absolutely cruel world, for everyone.
"Um, um..." After walking about two hundred meters from the base, one of the children coughed softly twice. When he saw Meng Shisan looking over, he said timidly, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm having trouble breathing."
As he spoke, the little guy lowered his head, looking extremely nervous and remorseful.
Seeing him like this, Meng Shisan squatted down, rubbed his head, and coughed twice like him before laughing and saying, "It's okay, there are many of us, so it's normal to be short of breath."
He did sense it, but it didn't affect him that much.
Several children were affected to varying degrees.
Even Er Er was no exception.
After all, this time, Meng Shisan did not have Er Er put on heavy armor.
"Alright, let's not go any further. Let's rest here for a while and get used to it." Meng Shisan said, pulling a group of children to sit down.
Not far away, some people saw them and were initially surprised that this new king of the wasteland had stopped here.
But then he looked at the bunch of little devils around him, each one so surprised they couldn't speak.
As everyone knows, there are no teammates when venturing into the wilderness.
After all, the amount of oxygen in the air is barely enough to sustain one person.
Although they work in teams, they always maintain a relatively safe distance from each other and would never crowd together to compete for oxygen in the same area.
Thinking this, everyone looked at Yang Jiu and his group, only to see that they had also sat down with their backs to everyone.
Similarly, I was surrounded by a large group of children.
"What a bunch of animals."
Someone shook their head and muttered to themselves.
Someone in the distance muttered, "Seeing them like this actually makes me feel inexplicably at ease, and I feel a bit more at ease for no reason."
"Sound my ass." From further away, Yang Jiu cursed, "What is that bastard Thirteen doing, acting all high and mighty?"
It's making us all embarrassed to separate people. Don't I have any pride?
In fact, it wasn't just him; everyone else was the same, without exception.
As pioneers, who would willingly bow down to others?
So what if you are the king of the wasteland?
To admire you, to become like you, to surpass you—this is the spirit of a pioneer.
Moreover, the child has never been by their side since childhood. Now that they have finally found their child, neither the child nor they want to be with them.
They themselves could not have imagined that their secret rivalry would give many people great hope.
"Thirteen! Thirteen!"
Just then, Cao Er shouted at the top of his lungs.
Meng Shisan looked back curiously and saw Cao Er running towards him, panting heavily.
"Weren't you keeping an eye on Entrance Four?"
Cao Er braced himself on his knees to recover, then took out a book from his pocket and said, "This was sent by someone from the bunker. They said they wanted to give it to you personally, and that it contains information about your parents."
That's why I brought it to you right away.
As he spoke, he looked curiously at the children gathered together and said, "Why don't you let them spread out? It's too thin to breathe when they're all huddled together."
"Are those guys all crazy? Do they really think they're Superman?"
This is what they saw about Yang Jiu and his group.
As someone who has been through it, he knows that the adults are under the most pressure in this situation.
Children may or may not understand, but adults certainly know that every breath they take at this moment is a competition with the children for the already scarce oxygen in the air, so they will definitely restrain themselves.
In the end, it's them who suffer.
"Ignore them." Meng Shisan had also noticed Yang Jiu and the others, and immediately laughed, "Actually, even if I didn't compete with them, they would still do the same."
For us, what we lost and regained was our child; but for the child, what they lost and regained was family affection.
At this moment, no one can live without the other.
In addition, the children have suffered so much over the years, and this is the time when they are most insecure. Would you dare to let them wander alone in the wilderness?
If they actually did that, they would only feel abandoned again.
This has nothing to do with being sensible or not; it's simply because nobody likes feeling abandoned.
Meng Shisan also learned this lesson from Er Er.
This girl, ever since she met him, has never gotten off him unless she's asleep.
It wasn't that the little girl was being spoiled; rather, she was afraid that if she turned around, Meng Shisan would disappear.
Without her experience, it would be difficult to understand her fear.
Hearing Meng Shisan say this, Cao Er also sighed and said after a long while, "Let's leave it at that. I'll go back first. I still need to keep an eye on Entrance No. 4."
After taking two steps, he turned back to look at the children.
Actually, he was also reluctant to part with it.
But he had made a huge mistake before, and the guilt in his heart made him desperately try to secure a bright future for these little ones.
This is a father's redemption...
He kept turning back to look at me as he took a step.
Meng Shisan sighed, unsure of what to say.
He can understand...
After he walked away, Meng Shisan opened the book that he had specially delivered.
To be honest, Meng Shisan didn't believe there would be any information about his parents inside.
Whether he cares or not, those guys at the base wouldn't be that stupid.
Only Cao Er would believe such a thing; Yang Jiu probably wouldn't believe it either.
Even so, when he opened the book, he was still dumbfounded.
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
It was truly chaotic, so chaotic that even Meng Shisan couldn't describe it in words.
How to put it... the fonts are different, the colors are different, even the handwriting is different...
At first glance, it looks no different from a book written in the heavens.
"Are you bored? What is all this nonsense?" Meng Shisan couldn't understand it at all.
After studying it for a while, Meng Shisan decided to tear the book up to see if there was any information hidden in the pages.
To be honest, at this moment he was willing to believe that the book might be related to his parents.
After all, the content was completely nonsensical, and not a single sentence read smoothly.
It's possible that the base has been researching for so many years without making any progress, so they wanted to give me a try.
It was at this moment that Cao Er came running over again, panting heavily.
"Those bastards, all they know how to do is cause trouble..." Cao Er cursed. "The bunker just sent someone again with a message, saying there's a rhyme I have to tell you, otherwise you won't understand it."
"A rhyme?" Meng Shisan was taken aback.
"Hmm," Cao Er said. "That's right, use your eyes to look, not your brain. First look at the big ones, then the small ones, and then look at the middle and the two ends."
Damn it, if this matter wasn't possibly related to your parents, I would have definitely given them a good talking-to!
"Never mind, I'm going back now. These days, I'm so grateful to my parents for giving me legs."
After saying that, the guy left dejectedly.
Just like before, he went and looked back three times.
"Use your eyes to see, not your brain?" Meng Shisan didn't pay attention to him this time, but muttered to himself.
"Is this because they're afraid of being monitored by Winston and his cronies?"
Good grief, aren't these people afraid that Winston will also monitor me?
"You know what, if you're just looking with your eyes and not thinking, they really can't monitor you." Just then, Baozi said breathlessly, "These guys don't seem as stupid as I thought."
"What do you mean?" Meng Shisan asked curiously.
"Where's your brain?" Baozi wanted to roll her eyes at him. "Your brain is a piece of code. All your thoughts and ideas are actually stored in this code."
Winston and his guys can indeed monitor you because their code is more advanced than yours.
But with so much code, they also need to filter out the useful information.
"I can't monitor you every single moment of every day..."
At this point, Baozi suddenly stopped.
"Keep going," Meng Shisan urged.
