Chapter 515 Characteristics of mutation [first update]
Li Zhiyong thought about it for a while, without refusing. He took it and took a look. It contained sugar cane oozing with sweet water and watery mushrooms. He was a little surprised. The mutated sugar cane was a good thing. Although these things also need to be stored in the warehouse, he should be able to get some. The youngest son of the family must like sugar cane.
Along the way, Zhen Shuai and Li Zhiyong chatted casually without mentioning any sensitive topics, which made Li Zhiyong secretly relieved. He tried to find out something from Zhen Shuai, but despite his young age, Zhen Shuai was also very slippery. He simply stopped asking and left him to Teacher Xu to worry about.
The survivors coming and going looked at Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu curiously, guessing their origins.
The two of them have long been used to it and are not affected at all.
Xu Bowen was waiting for them in the conference room of the cement factory, which is now his office.
Xu Bowen is in his early forties, with a slim build and a bookish air. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The right lens is broken. Since there is no replacement, he can only make do with it.
There was another person sitting next to Xu Bowen. He was Chen Sheng, the second-in-command of the base. He was nearly fifty years old. He was a mutant and the strongest among all mutants at present. Because he was very honest, Xu Bowen asked him to Be your deputy, mainly responsible for hunting matters.
Zhen Shuai's first impression of these two people was good. Taking a closer look at their faces, he found that they were indeed two people with little wealth. Their only thought was that everyone in this base could live well. But the situation in the cement factory was obviously not very good. Although the two of them deliberately controlled it, they still showed a little sadness unintentionally.
Li Zhiyong introduced the names of Commander Zhen and Governor Shen and left consciously, closing the door behind him.
Zhen Shuai smiled before saying anything, "Teacher Xu, nice to meet you. We came all the way from Yonghu Shopping Mall. Thank you, Teacher Xu, for letting us come in and have a rest." "You're welcome, please take a seat." Teacher Xu nodded lightly
. Then he poured hot tea for the two of them. There were only two tea leaves in it. "You should have noticed that we are just a cement factory here. We are relatively short of supplies and only have less than one tael of tea leaves. Please bear with me." "Teacher Xu, Mrs. Xu.
" You're welcome, it would be nice to have a cup of hot tea at this time." Zhen Shuai took a sip from the tea cup, talking and laughing calmly.
Xu Bowen's eyes flashed. At first glance, he felt that these two young men were not simple. He originally thought that they would be wary and would not let anything in easily. Zhen Shuai's behavior was beyond his expectation. He didn't think Zhen Shuai didn't think of this.
"Can you tell me about the situation in Yonghu Mall? We have been staying here since the earthquake. To be honest, we have been worried that we will be the only ones left in the whole city. It's great to see you." Chen Sheng knew
He couldn't speak and didn't interrupt. He just sat quietly and listened.
Zhen Shuai told everything he knew, without hiding anything.
Xu Bowen immediately had the idea of moving to Yonghu Shopping Mall.
For things like food and water, they can still find solutions in the forest, but things like medicine, clothes, shoes, pots and pans, milk powder for children, and personal items for women... there is nothing here. . If the children are sick, they can't be left alone, right? Almost everyone only has one set of clothes, and there is no replacement. You can't wear animal skins in the future, right? Since he accepted the position of leader, he had to consider everyone. The most important point is that this cement factory is surrounded by forests, and they still have too few people. If the beast tide comes, they will not be able to resist it. This was the deepest worry in his heart. He didn't say it to anyone so that others wouldn't be afraid. However, moving to Yonghu Mall is not an easy task. Not only does it have to be done on foot, but it also has to go through the vast forest. Not only are there wild beasts in the forest, but it is also easy to get lost. There are a large proportion of old people, women, and children here. It is not easy to just walk away, but you need to think carefully.
Xu Bowen pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts and looked at the young man who was drinking tea quietly.
"Thank you for telling me. What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know." "
Teacher Xu, when I came here just now, I saw a lot of meat hanging in the yard. Is that the meat of mutated animals?" Zhen Shuai Putting down the tea cup, he asked curiously.
Xu Bowen nodded, "Actually, we didn't dare to eat the meat of mutated plants and animals at first, for fear of poisoning, but later we had no choice. After eating it, there were no adverse reactions, and the meat of mutated plants and animals was more delicious. , has higher calories and is very effective in replenishing physical strength. Not only that, mutants can also enhance their abilities by eating mutated food. However, some mutant animals and plants have red spots on their bodies, which cannot be eaten. Humans If you eat it, it will explode."
Zhen Shuai asked: "Animals and plants with red spots on their bodies indicate that some kind of change has occurred in their bodies. How to distinguish these animals and plants from normal mutated animals and plants? If before they grow red spots, What will happen if you eat them?"
Xu Bowen was not surprised. The two of them traveled through the forest and must have encountered many such animals and plants.
"Your question is on point. This type of animals and plants have symptoms before the red spots grow. Whether it is a plant or an animal, as long as you make a cut on them, the sap or blood oozing out of it will be red. There must be something wrong with the color. This was discovered by some aunts who cook in our canteen. Later, we spent some time and research to be sure. At that time, we conducted experiments on dogs. After eating this kind of animals and plants, we still feel It will explode, but it will only happen a day or two at night. Other than that, there is no other way to identify it."
Zhen Shuai thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me what the mutants here are like? Ability?"
Chen Sheng glanced at Xu Bowen nervously. Although he is honest, he is not stupid. This is the biggest secret in their base.
Xu Bowen smiled, "Can you tell me what's going on with you?"
Zhen Shuai said calmly, "Yes. We are also mutants."
"Oh?" Xu Bowen guessed it, "But your skin color is normal. , is there any reason?"
Zhen Shuai shook his head, his eyes blank, "We don't know, maybe it was because there were more "red sparks" falling on us at that time?" Xu Bowen was
doubtful. But those red sparks disappeared without a trace after a heavy rain, and he couldn't study them even if he wanted to.
"Some of our mutants here have become faster, some have become stronger, and some can jump very high... There is nothing special." Zhen Shuai only believed half of this, but he could find out
such He is contented with many things.
"By the way, Teacher Xu, I have another question to ask you. Are there any natural barriers around you?"
Xu Bowen was puzzled, and Chen Sheng also looked at Zhen Shuai in confusion.
"What kind of chasm?"
Zhen Shuai told them about the existence of the huge crack.
Chen Sheng exclaimed: "How could this happen?"
Xu Bowen looked solemn, "We only move within a radius of one or two miles here and don't dare to go far. I don't know if there is such a chasm nearby." He wanted to go to Yonghu Shopping Mall. They are more determined to migrate. If they are separated by a natural chasm, Yonghu Mall may be the only place where they can get daily necessities.
"Last question, are there any other survivor bases nearby?" Zhen Shuai asked again.
Xu Bowen shook his head, "As far as I know, no. By the way, I haven't asked yet, where are you going? I knew everything around here before. If you are looking for somewhere, I can give you directions. A general direction."
Zhen Shuai said: "We don't have any special destination, we just want to explore this forest out of courage and save some people by the way."
Xu Bowen didn't know whether he believed it or not, but a smile appeared on his face, "They are lucky to meet you. From what you said, do you know how to get back to Yonghu Mall? Can you give us the road map? A copy?"
"There is no road map, but we have marked the way along the way. If we follow the marks left, we will definitely return to Yonghu Mall." With the god-level live broadcast system, Zhen Shuai will never get lost
. , but in order to deceive others, he and Shen Xingdu cut obvious marks on many big trees they passed along the way.
Xu Bowen was very happy after hearing this. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It seems that we are lucky to meet you. It's almost twelve o'clock, and the food in the cafeteria should be ready. Come on, I'll take you there Let’s eat.”
Zhen Shuai happily agreed.
The canteen used to be the canteen of the cement factory, and a lot of people had gathered there.
Today's staple food is grilled mushrooms and barbecued meat, without rice, noodles, steamed buns and other pasta.
Xu Bowen explained that they still have some rice and flour in their warehouse, but it is mainly for children under five years old. Because there is really not much stock, even older people can only eat barbecue and roasted wild vegetables. Because of the scarcity of water resources, even cooking and eating meat is not possible. Eating barbecue every day will make your stomach unbearable, but there is nothing you can do about it. Fortunately, people's requirements are very low now. As long as they can stay alive, it's good enough. Others basically have no objections to leaving rice and noodles for their children.
Chen Sheng went to the cooking place and brought over a large plate of barbecued meat and grilled mushrooms.
Zhen Shuai couldn't tell what kind of mutated animal meat it was, but the fragrance smelled very tempting.
Xu Bowen took out a small paper bag from his pocket and explained to Zhen Shuai with a smile: "This is salt. They insisted that I need to be paid as a leader, so they gave me some salt. I have never been willing to use it."
Zhen Shuai suddenly realized that he should have thought that these barbecues must not be salted. As the leader of the base, Xu Bowen only had so much salt. How dare he use it? He opened his backpack, took out a whole bag of salt and put it in front of Xu Bowen.
"Teacher Xu, I think the meat grilled by the chef here is very good. Can I exchange this packet of salt with you for some to take on the road?"
Chapter 516: What’s wrong with being arrogant [Second update]
Chen Sheng almost didn't rush to agree. Their base is indeed short of salt! With this bag of salt, as the second in command, he can get a little share of everything. Afraid that Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing would see his heartbeat and make people laugh, he kept his head down.
Xu Bowen smiled and said, "I'll ask someone to pack some for you. There's nothing else here. There's still no shortage of meat for the time being. Why should we use salt in exchange for it?"
"If you don't accept this packet of salt, I'll be embarrassed to ask for your barbecue. "Zhen Shuai pushed Yan towards him.
Xu Bowen could only say: "Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you very much."
He was not stingy anymore. He put all the salt in a small paper bag, then divided the large piece of barbecue into four portions and placed them on four plates. The large plate of grilled mushrooms was also divided into quarters.
The vessels they use to serve food are plates made of wood, which have been roasted by fire. They are not very smooth, but they do not hinder their use.
Audiences in the live broadcast room lamented that human beings are indeed very adaptable.
After Zhen Shuai took out his dagger and cut the large piece of meat on the plate into small pieces, he naturally exchanged it with Shen Xingdu. He himself inserted the bamboo chopsticks into the meat and gnawed directly.
Xu Bowen was surprised in his heart, but he couldn't express it in his face.
"What do you think of the taste?"
Zhen Shuai nodded and praised, "It's really delicious, fresh and tender!"
Chen Sheng looked at the big white dog lying quietly on the ground and the eagle lying obediently on the big white dog's back, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What do they eat?"
Zhen Shuai waved his hand, "Don't worry about them, they will hunt on their own."
After a delicious lunch, he and Shen Xingdu did not stay long and said goodbye to Xu Bowen.
Xu Bowen politely tried to persuade them to stay, but when Zhen Shuai insisted, he personally escorted them out of the gate.
After the two pets walked away, Wang Lina walked to Xu Bowen with a worried look on her face.
"Teacher Xu, is it really okay to let them leave like this? Could they be spies sent from other bases?" Xu Bowen shook his head, "Probably not, it doesn't look like it. I'll send someone to the woods to take a look later. If there are really marks left by them, what they said is probably true."
After Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu entered the forest, they entered Shen Xingdu's wonderland, slept for an hour and rested enough before continuing to set off.
Before dark, a standing library appeared in front. Although the windows of the library were boarded up, there was still a flickering light of fire.
Zhen Shuai perked up and said, "Xingdu, go quickly, there must be a lot of people there!"
At this moment, a sharp shout rang out.
"Who are you?"
Two mutants with fiery red skin landed in front of them from the air, their expressions guarded.
Zhen Shuai looked at the mutated sisal leaves in their hands and nodded in his mind. This thing is also very good as a weapon, just like a sword.
"We are just passing through. It's getting dark. Can we stay there for a night?"
The two mutants stared directly at the bulging backpacks on their bodies, guessing that there must be a lot of good things in it, their eyes filled with excitement. greedy.
After leaving Xu Bowen's base, Zhen Shuai refilled his two backpacks with supplies. There were indeed a lot of good goods.
"You can go in if you want, but you have to hand over everything you have on you, including your clothes and shoes."
The audience in the live broadcast room was speechless.
[Nima, this is too much. You even want to steal the clothes of the anchor and Brother Shen? ]
[These two people are still very discerning. The clothes and shoes of the anchor and Brother Shen are all good. ]
[ Could it be that the clothes you want are fake, but the beauty you covet of the host and Brother Shen is real? ]
"Hey! I've told you nicely to give you face, haven't I?" Zhen Shuai was angry. He was almost depressed just looking at green along the way. He was irritated, but these two people wanted to point their guns at him. Bump, do you still need to endure it? The system doesn't have the ability to suppress him this time, so what's the point of being arrogant?
Shen Xingdu didn't say a word. He had already noticed that Shuai Shuai was not in a good mood, so it would be nice to let him vent.
"What did you say!"
The two mutants were furious. Ever since they became mutants, they have always been the envy of ordinary people. When walking in the entire base, almost everyone fawns over them, and more men and women want to follow them than they can count on two hands. These two guys who came from nowhere are looking for death! The two regretted talking nonsense to them and killed them directly. Their things were still theirs.
The two exchanged glances, understood each other's thoughts, and rushed towards Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu with kenma in hand.
The audience suddenly couldn't help but laugh. The look of holding the kenama always seemed a bit funny.
Zhen Shuai put his hands on his hips, raised his eyelids, and waved his hand, "Marshmallow, Ling'er, come on!" The
two mutants were a little confused when they saw a dog and an eagle rushing towards them.
Zhen Shuai stood with his feet apart, crossed his arms and crossed his chest, giving a cold look with a very arrogant expression, "You two trash, you are not qualified to let us do it ourselves and let our pets play with you." The two mutants were furious
. , his already red face seemed to get even redder, he shouted loudly, avoided Marshmallow and Ling'er, and charged towards Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu.
Marshmallow and Ling'er stopped them again. The two hadn't let go for a long time and were extremely excited, shouting happily. One was biting from below, and the other was attacking from the air.
The two mutants were both speed users, and Kenma was swung very fast by them. Unfortunately, it was not enough in front of Marshmallow and Ling'er. After a while, Ling'er scratched him with bloody marks all over his body. He screamed in pain and begged for mercy. .
"Spare your life, spare your life, we know we were wrong..."
Zhen Shuai waved his hand to call Marshmallow and Ling'er back, raised his chin, "Lead the way!"
The two mutants did not dare to say a word and trotted ahead. Leading the way, my body and face hurt, and I didn’t dare to touch it, and it hurt even more if I touched it.
There were also people guarding the first floor of the library. Seeing the miserable condition of the two mutants, they knew something was wrong. One of the guards quickly ran into the library, probably to report a message.
When he reached the door, Zhen Shuai did not rush in. He crossed his arms and had a cold face.
In less than ten minutes, a strong young man walked out quickly surrounded by a group of mutants. This young man is also a mutant. He is over 1.8 meters tall and has fairly regular facial features, but his eyebrows are slightly slanted, making him look very fierce.
The young man opened his mouth to speak, but Zhen Shuai interrupted him.
"You are the boss here, right? We want to stay here for one night. Just tell us whether you agree or not. If you agree, everything is easy to discuss; if you don't agree, huh, then I'll beat you to agree!" The young man's brows twitched
.
"My men told me that you are very arrogant. I still don't believe it. It turns out it's true."
Zhen Shuai said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense!"
The young man laughed angrily, "Okay, very good! Then let my men tell you You guys can ask for some advice."
Zhen Shuai played with the dagger and said lazily: "Let's go together."
A killing intent flashed in the young man's eyes, "Okay - let's go together!"
Several mutants behind him laughed loudly. Smile, look at each other, and attack at the same time.
The remaining mutant stood behind the young man, waved to an ordinary person hiding far behind, and cursed: "Do you have eyesight? Why don't you bring the leader a chair?"
"Yes, yes!"
After Wang Liyan sat down, he caressed his waist without leaving a trace. There was a gun hidden there. His expression seemed calm, but in fact he was nervous. He is not as simple as his men think. He had people explore this area, and there were no other survivor bases around. No matter where they came from, the fact that these two people were able to cross the forest and get here should not be underestimated. He wanted to talk to them at first, but he didn't know that Zhen Shuai was so arrogant. If he couldn't suppress them, he would lose his prestige in the base.
Zhen Shuai took out his dagger to meet him and took the initiative to enter the circle surrounded by several mutants.
Wang Liyan was shocked as he watched him shuttle back and forth between them at extremely fast speeds, leaving only an afterimage. Where did this monster come from!
Zhen Shuai returned to Shen Xingdu in a daze and looked at Wang Liyan with a half-smile.
Wang Liyan saw that several mutants were missing a bunch of hair on their heads, and their red faces turned into blue faces. This kid must be merciful, otherwise what he would cut off would not be their hair, but their heads!
Seeing that the mutants were still unconscious and ready to attack again, he felt even more humiliated, but he couldn't show it yet. He slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up with a laugh.
"Stand back, everyone! I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that my little brother's skills would be so powerful. It seems that I am too blind to recognize Taishan. We don't know each other even if we don't fight. Friends, how about we go in and talk?" Zhen Shuai replied
. He gave a fake smile and said, "It's my fault, it's your two men. You said that our stay at your place for one night was definitely not in vain. We deserved to be given something. They even wanted to take care of our clothes and shoes." Rob,
are you out of your mind because you are poor?" Wang Liyan pretended not to notice when he was accused of slandering Huai, and his anger surged in his heart, not only towards Zhen Shuai, but also towards those two men. Only then did he realize what was going on. If it weren't for these two idiots, how could he have been embarrassed in front of so many people in the base?
The two mutants who intercepted Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu endured the pain and stayed nearby because they wanted to see what happened to Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu. After hearing Zhen Shuai tell what they had done, they Looking at the leader's expression, he was immediately frightened.
"First, leader..."
Wang Liyan didn't even look at them, and said coldly: "Why don't you drag them down?"
Several other mutants quickly escorted these two people away.
"Please!" Wang Liyan gestured to Zhen Shuai.
Commander Zhen took Shen Xingdu's hand and walked in with dignity.
Wang Liyan's mouth twitched, holding back his anger, he quickly caught up.
A slight smile appeared in Shen Xingdu's eyes. So handsome and cute.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed. Such an anchor is indeed very cute and must be bought for gifts.
