"The people you once protected could very well become the ones who want to take your life. So... is it worth it?" Qin Feng thought for a long time, until in the orphanage, amidst the children’s cries, there was finally laughter. He could imagine that Tang Yi and Old Tai must be making funny faces, trying to make the children laugh. He could imagine, after experiencing such horror, Old Tai and Tang Yi must have thought of many ridiculous reasons. "The apocalypse is not caused by human forces. At least before the apocalypse, in the area I manage, justice will prevail." Wen Xishu felt somewhat moved: "And after the apocalypse?" The mission did not end with the death of the girl in red, making Wen Xishu realize... There was still room for maneuver. Maybe on the surface, this was an Aquarius-related mission, but in reality, other constellations had also bet on these three. So Wen Xishu wanted to understand what kind of people Qin Feng and his team were. These three investigators also appeared on the train, and he wanted to know how they would perform in the future and if some kind of cooperation could be established. "The nation is gone, the world is in chaos, the whole world is filled with weirdness and monsters. Let alone protecting others, you yourselves will find it extremely difficult to survive." "Under such circumstances, all the meaning of your previous work is gone." "What do you have to say about that?" Qin Feng had already understood this question; he exhaled a puff of smoke: "If not for me... some people wouldn’t have lived to see the apocalypse. I don’t think my work is meaningless." "Those we worked hard to save might not die at the hands of violators, but rather because of family or societal reasons." "I once heard Ah Yi tell a story. He said there is still much suffering in this world." "He has a distant relative, a sister of sorts, who lived in great pain, but he, as a Law Enforcer, could not help her. He said it was not crime that tortured her but family." "Old Tai once busted a den forcing women into prostitution. There was a girl covered in wounds, and he gave her some money, hoping she would leave that life." "But later, he encountered the girl again, beaten by an even more perverted client. Old Tai was confused." "But the girl simply said she had to make a living. This was the fastest way to make money." "If they are harmed by lawbreakers, we can save them. But if life, if fate tortures them... how can we save them?" "We can’t save many people, but does that mean my work is meaningless just because we ultimately couldn’t save them?" Qin Feng said resolutely: "No, it doesn’t. Just like these children, you hear them, from crying to laughing, isn’t that the meaning?" "You come from the future, you tell me the world is going to end, that’s really fucked up, but brother, my work will always be meaningful." "Even if you tell me the world will end tomorrow, even if tonight the department orders me on a mission, I wouldn’t frown." I’m proud of my work, and I’m willing to die for it. This kind of pure person, Wen Xishu hadn’t seen many. He could foresee, when the apocalypse really comes, watching countless people turn into monsters... it would surely be very painful. Likely, these three investigators would die saving others. Wen Xishu didn’t want them to die; he longed to change the fate of these three. "Go to Wind City," Wen Xishu suddenly said. "Huh?" Qin Feng was puzzled. "Consider it a survival strategy given to you by someone from the future. Mr. Qin, remember one thing, don’t die for someone easily, because if you stay alive, more people can survive." "If one day you find you have nowhere to go, the world is full of dangers...then go to Wind City. It may not be safe there, but there are many zombies." Qin Feng was stunned: If not for the day’s bizarre events, Qin Feng would have thought this guy escaped from a mental institution. "Yes, the kind you see in movies, but with you three, it won’t be a problem." "Compared to the various monsters outside Wind City, your chances of standing firm in Wind City are greater. Remember my words, go to Wind City!" Qin Feng thought about it, then said: At this moment, Wen Xishu received a prompt that the mission was complete. He also felt he was about to leave. "We will meet again in the future, Mr. Qin." Qin Feng extended his hand: "Wen Xishu, my brother, no matter what happens after the apocalypse, today, I truly thank you!" Wen Xishu shook hands with Qin Feng: "Then, see you in Wind City." The two made a pact, and what happened next fit Qin Feng’s stereotype of what a person from the future would do—disappear. Wen Xishu’s mission was over, and his figure vanished. This sudden appearance and departure were indeed very much like a person from the future. This also made Qin Feng frown deeply: To say he wasn’t confused would be a lie. The citizens he worked so hard to protect... would all die with the coming apocalypse, or worse, become monsters. The nation he was loyal to, the families he protected, and his partners were all in great peril. This situation made Qin Feng’s heart very heavy. But in the end, he stubbed out his cigarette and smiled calmly: "Human power is limited, stop thinking about it, the apocalypse hasn’t come yet, at least today, we solved another case!"
