Chapter 59.1 – Garbage

Shi Yuan once told Lu Tinghan that he had cried once, plus this time, Lu Tinghan was seriously injured, so it was two times.

He never mentioned why he cried the first time.

—The first time he cried was because of the garbage.

It happened in the second year that Lu Tinghan became a Watcher.

At that time, Shi Yuan rejoiced every day, waiting for his human to appear on the edge of the abyss.

It’s a pity that every time Lu Tinghan appeared, he didn’t stay for long.

The pollution value of Abyss No.0 was terrible, but it had never infected creatures, and the value had always been stable, so the last time someone monitored Abyss No.0 was 49 years ago.

The Watchers stayed by Abyss No.0 for a few weeks or months, and then left.

No one stayed for years like Lu Tinghan.

Abyss No.0 was stable. Lu Tinghan only needed to patrol the abyss regularly and record values. The work was simple and easy. Other time, he spent putting on an optical brain and commanding the battle. This is why in those 10 years, he was able to be promoted and defend the city.

The Alliance had repeatedly made exceptions for him. To put it simply and roughly, he was a part-time Watcher, and he was still a commander by nature.

But Shi Yuan didn’t know this.

He didn’t know that there was something called the “Abyss Contaminant Disposal Act”.

Contaminated biological tissues, if left alone, can easily be deformed into monsters, and even incineration or landfill cannot guarantee safety. And dumping them outside the city was even more likely to produce new infected biota. As a result, the Alliance promulgated the “Abyss Contaminant Disposal Act” to collect the most polluted biological tissues, transport them back to the abyss, and throw them back.

The abyss was bottomless, and no one knew its end.

In a sense, this was self-produced and sold, the original soup was turned into raw food, the industrial chain was closed, healthy, safe, and economical, without any environmental pollution, which could be described as everyone’s joy, confirming the saying: “who develops who protects, who pollutes who treats”.

This treatment method was very successful, and the contaminants thrown back never appeared again.

Lu Tinghan made a point: Abyss No.0 is far from the city, but it is very stable, and there are very few monsters nearby. It is actually very suitable for garbage disposal.

This was a very reasonable opinion.

As a result, the transport spacecraft carried countless garbage and came to the edge of Abyss No.0.

That day, Shi Yuan happily waited for his human.

Lu Tinghan did appear, standing on the edge of the abyss, his military uniform was straight, and his expressionless side face was handsome and deep.

He waved his hand—

And tons of garbage fell from the sky!

Shi Yuan: ?

Shi Yuan: ? ? ? ! ! ! ! ? !

Smelly fish, rotten shrimp, melon skin, fruit kernels, sour cabbage, smelly cucumber, crushed tomato, and rotten durian.

Broken hands and feet, minced meat and bones, dead rabbits, mummified birds, rotten potted plants, and human lungs.

Everything was there. The dirtiest and most chaotic garbage in the entire human world was here.

Two full transport ships dumped an unknown number of tons of garbage. It was already sunset when the transport ship returned to the city, Lu Tinghan also returned to the surveillance tower.

Everyone was very satisfied, except for Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan didn’t understand why, he liked Lu Tinghan so much but Lu Tinghan wanted to throw garbage on him and his home.

They were all so stinky and disgusting things.

Lu Tinghan must have hated him very much.

Shi Yuan was so heartbroken that he cried loudly.

—That night, the Abyss No.0, which had been peaceful for more than 70 years, roared fiercely, and the infection value soared, scaring the Alliance half to death. No one knew that Shi Yuan was just crying, and cried for a whole night.

Su Enqi gave an order to Lu Tinghan to evacuate immediately.

But Lu Tinghan refused. He looked at the black mist-filled Abyss No.0, and said out of nowhere: “I think…it is very unhappy.”

Su Enqi was silent for half a second: “It can’t be because we threw out the garbage.”

He was joking, but Lu Tinghan replied: “I think so.”

As a result, Su Enqi firmly believed that Lu Tinghan’s thoughts were really eroded by the abyss, otherwise, how could he come up with this kind of fantasy?

The next day, he arranged two psychological assessments for Lu Tinghan.

The evaluation result was no problem, and Lu Tinghan continued to be a Watcher.

It took Shi Yuan five full days to accept the reality.

He thought that although Lu Tinghan hated him, he still liked Lu Tinghan so much that he was willing to bury the garbage for him.

Shi Yuan found several shovels from the garbage dump. In the middle of the night, he let the mist spread to the edge of the abyss, and the rich mist turned into a solid entity, holding a shovel and digging hard.

Dig pits, put garbage, and bury soil.

Dig pits, put garbage, and bury soil.

There was so much garbage, he had been working for several days, and he couldn’t see the end at all.

And the small soil slope he piled up was discovered by Lu Tinghan, who was patrolling the abyss.

Lu Tinghan: “……”

He stood in front of the soil slope for a long time.

Looking closely, his often expressionless face was full of confusion – he was so confused that even seeing Su Enqi pole dancing in front of him wouldn’t have confused him a bit more.

That night, Lu Tinghan and Su Enqi talked on the phone.

He said: “Teacher Su, I think I’m going to do a psychological assessment.”

Su Enqi asked, “What’s wrong with you, are you mentally unstable?”

Lu Tinghan said: “… so to speak, I really saw something very strange.”

Lu Tinghan went for several rounds of psychological assessments, but he was still fine.

But there would be a few more mounds of garbage buried every day. Lu Tinghan tried to set up drones and cameras to monitor, but once the black mist spread, he couldn’t see anything.

After the black mist dissipated, there would be more mounds of buried garbage, which looked neat and tidy.

Lu Tinghan went for a few more rounds of psychological assessment, there was no problem.

And Shi Yuan buried the garbage diligently while holding back the tears in his eyes. After a short half a month, the garbage in the abyss was finally a little bit less.

The only comfort was that in the pile of smelly garbage, some interesting things were mixed in, such as early infant education, fairy tale books, textbooks, and various newspapers.

Shi Yuan collected them and studied them hard.

He also found a book that can point to read, teaching children to read and write. He clicked on the writing, and the literacy book let out a sound: [Hello!]

“He…he…llo?” Shi Yuan learned stiffly.

Literacy book: [Hello!]

Shi Yuan: “Hello!”

Shi Yuan: “Hello, hello, hello, hello!!”

He was having fun and left his sadness behind for a while.

Coincidentally, the transport ship came again.

This time there was less garbage, but it was all of the most harmful kind. The transport ship stopped near the abyss, the hatch opened, and the garbage poured out.—

The black mist in the abyss surged!!

This time, Shi Yuan really exploded in anger and went crazy.

If he had a tail at that time, all the scales would have exploded. The infection value soared, and the black mist threw all the harmful garbage into the sky. The scene was extremely spectacular.

The transport ship was scared away before the garbage was emptied.

“You wouldn’t believe it,” the transport ship pilot said with lingering fear after returning to the city, “We were attacked by a pile of garbage…”

Lu Tinghan was left alone next to Abyss No.0.

He continued to stare.
