Chapter 45 Want to know

Rebecca instinctively felt that Cheng Bin had something to say, but on the one hand she was not good at psychology, and on the other hand she was in a bad mood now and was really unwilling to spend time on Cheng Bin, so she simply fell silent and used Cheng Bin's handkerchief to carefully wipe her hair, and it seemed that she was competing with her hair, so she didn't finish it after rubbing it.

Cheng Bin looked at her for a while, got up and walked over, took out a piece of stuff wrapped in tin foil from his pocket and handed it to Rebecca, "Eat this." He said.

"I'm not hungry." Rebecca said in a muffled manner. This is not anger. She really doesn't feel hungry now. Generally speaking, people who have just vomited cannot feel hungry quickly, and their stomach etiquette is not that low.

"I'll be hungry soon." Cheng Bin stuffed the things in his hand into Rebecca's hand, then sat down next to her, looking at the bonfire and wondering what he was thinking.

Rebecca subconsciously shrank as he sat down. After finding that Cheng Bin was staring at the fire, she returned to normal and her eyes fell on the paper bag in her hand.

She pinched the thing in her hand and asked, "What is this? rat meat?"

To be honest, the feel and shape of this thing are similar to the jerky voles that Cheng Bin took out. However, Rebecca remembers that the jerky was put in a cigarette box, at least completely different in packaging. Generally speaking, independent packaging would be a little more expensive, so this may not be a voles, or a bat?

"Chocolate." Cheng Bin looked at the campfire, raised the lunch box in his hand and took a sip of water, and said, "I think you need this."

Of course Rebecca knew what chocolate was, and at the same time, she knew that this was not produced on the wasteland, so at least on the wasteland, pure chocolate was a luxury product. Most civilians probably never heard of it, let alone eating it.

She glanced at Cheng Bin suspiciously, slowly peeled off the chocolate packaging, and found that there was the iconic mark of the royal capital on the tin foil.

She frowned and asked, "Where does this come from?"

"Oak Town Special Offer." Cheng Bin said indifferently.

Rebecca glanced at him suspiciously and said casually: "The mercenaries are treated so well."

She knew that the pursuers Cheng Bin killed were mercenaries from Oak Town, so after hearing that it was specially provided by Oak Town, she naturally felt that this was found from those mercenaries. So she felt that Oak Town was really good for mercenaries. You should know that chocolate is not something you can buy with money. Basically, from Wangdu to the Wasteland, there are only two companies, Sod and Woodpecker, who have freight airships, will be regularly exchanged. They have to transport too much, but they will not take out their precious positions to transport chocolate.

Therefore, it takes more than just money to get chocolate on the wasteland, but also channels.

She put the chocolate bar peeled off the tin foil and took a bite. She felt the refreshing sweet fragrance melt away from the tip of her tongue, and couldn't help but nod it comfortably.

"Don't make strange noises when eating." Cheng Bin said looking at the fire. Rebecca did not notice that since Cheng Bin sat next to her, he had never seen her again, and of course he had not moved. He kept a squatting position instead of the cross-sitting he often used.

"Do you want to eat it?" Rebecca did not swallow the chocolate in her mouth, but let it slowly melt in her mouth and fully feel the sweetness. This is the skill she learned from her mother when she was a child.

She handed over the paper bag in her hand and said to Cheng Bin: "Do you want it?"

"No, I don't like sweets." Cheng Bin shook his head and said.

He took another sip of water and said slowly, "Do you like reading?"

He asked, "What kind of books do you like?"

Rebecca once again took a small bit of the chocolate bar with caution and said nostalgic: "Read everything, and generally speaking, I don't have much room for choice."

She looked at Cheng Bin and said, "I know you know how to read, do you also like reading?"

"It's not often." Cheng Bin said: "I can't say if I like it or not. In my era, some books were necessary, no matter whether you like it or not."

Then he turned to look at Rebecca, his eyes swept across her wet red lips, not stopping.

He said, "Have you read history books? Tell me what happened in the last few years of the prehistoric era."

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Bin and said, "You don't look like someone who will like history."

"This is hard to say." Cheng Bin said softly: "You don't look like a wandering person either."

"Okay." Rebecca said: "It seems we are not following the standards."

She held the chocolate bar and thought for a while, saying, "At the end of the prehistoric era, there were many countries in the world, two of which were the most powerful, one of which was the land under our feet."

Cheng Bin nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end. Rebecca continued: "At that time, the cyclical global economic crisis came. Another big country began to spread plagues all over the world in order to stabilize its position. The country where we are started war against that big country for peace and justice."

"What then?" Cheng Bin was silent for a while and asked, "How was it going afterward?"

"The prehistoric era ended later," Rebecca said: "Justice did not defeat evil, and the world was destroyed."

"Do you know?" Cheng Bin said slowly: "I just happened to know another version."

He stared at the bonfire in front of him and said, "The plague originally appeared on this land. At that time, the leaders of this country were worried that the plague would be limited to their own territory and would create opportunities for other countries to surpass themselves, so they found ways to spread it."

He said: "Then this plague swept the whole world, except for another great power."

"Why does another great country meet?" Rebecca pointed out the loopholes in Cheng Bin's story very sharply. "If another great country is big enough, it has no reason except it is prepared."

"No, no one can be prepared early." Cheng Bin said: "It's just because the government of that country is more efficient, and because the people of that country are more disciplined and responsible." Cheng Bin said nostalgically: "So after the initial chaos, they controlled the plague."

"But then the plague spread around the world, and all countries suffered heavy blows, including the land under our feet, which the politicians could not tolerate decline, so they united to declare war on another great power."

He sighed, "You know." He said, "It's the kind of person who wants to die, you don't want to live happily."

Rebecca listened to his words silently and said for a while: "It's so terrible, how could there be such a person?"

"You don't believe it, it's just because your status limits your imagination." Cheng Bin said: "What else do you know about the outcome of that war?"

"I don't know," Rebecca said. "If you want to know, you can only go to Wangdu. It is said that there are scholars who specialize in prehistoric times."

She looked at Cheng Bin curiously and said, "Why do you know these? Since you know these, why do you still ask me?"

Cheng Bin was silent. Just after Rebecca thought he would not answer her question, she heard Cheng Bin say, "Of course I know. But what I want to know most is what the final result of that war is like."

He looked up and looked into the distance, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.
