Doomsday Yuan

"This... this is too..." Xu's mother couldn't help but hugged Mo Tiancheng and Mo Tianyou tightly, trying to plug their ears, but after thinking about it, they had already heard it, and it would be inevitable to do this again Some deception.

"God bless, after the mutated animals die, can you still feel them? How long will it take before you can feel their existence?"

Seeing Xu Song's question, Mo Tianyou tilted his head and thought for a while, "After the mutated animals die...you won't be able to feel them after a while. The time is not long, maybe...more than ten seconds?"

Mo Tiancheng raised his little hand: "Me too!"

Unwilling to be lonely, the little tree waved its branches and jumped up and down behind the sofa.

Xu Song looked at Yue Zheng: "That's right, my feeling is different from Tianyou's. I can't feel it the moment the mutated animals and plants die!"

"You mean—"

"Tiancheng Tianyou probably felt the 'energy' in the mutated organism, but what I felt should be the 'life force'!" Xu Song took a long breath, "Suppose, after the mutation, the world is full of some kind of energy—— The energy in that big glass ball. And because of some factors, creatures can subconsciously absorb and gather that energy. Some people can’t bear the impact of that energy after absorbing it, and they will explode and die on the spot—the first group of people who directly Those who died without leaving a whole body.

"Although the other group of people can't bear the energy, they are not as fragile as those people, so that they can't bear it at all. Therefore, most of those people directly become living corpses after death. From the perspective of proportion, The proportion of living corpses is much higher than that of people who exploded directly." After speaking, Xu Song paused and took a deep breath.

"Then, there are the survivors. The surviving people and other creatures. From the perspective of proportion, the vast majority of people did not develop supernatural powers due to mutations, and only a small number of people survived because of that mutation. A kind of unknown energy, and inspired the ability, which is now called the ability person.

"Let's put human affairs aside for the time being, and talk about the variation of animals and plants. The variation of animals and plants is different from that of humans. Most of them have mutated. The result of the mutation is what we see now—absolutely Most of the mutated animals are mutated in appearance. Huge volume, gigantic animals and plants. These animals should store some special energy in their bodies, and after they die, they evaporate into the air, invisible and intangible , but we can vaguely feel it because of the spar.

"And the animals that have mutated and possessed supernatural powers at the same time—"

As he spoke, he picked up the sac wrapped in light blue light that Yue Zheng had just taken out from the pig's head: "The energy in their bodies is more abundant, so that this kind of thing was formed."

Yue Zheng looked at him without blinking, and Xu Song also raised his head to look at Yue Zheng: "I suspect that the energy content in the body of human supernatural beings should be higher than that of ordinary mutant animals, so the laboratory discovered that, Let ordinary people and people with supernatural powers eat the meat of supernatural beings, there is a chance to stimulate supernatural powers, and it can also allow people who already have supernatural powers to improve their supernatural abilities!"

"Then... didn't you say that ordinary mutated animals and plants also have this kind of energy? Could it be that those people can't research it?" Mother Xu couldn't accept cannibalism. If it was forced by life and there was no food at all, she had to Although she still can't accept cannibalism, it's not completely incomprehensible.But—those people actually forced the test subjects to eat human flesh? !

"Because the energy in mutated animals and plants volatilizes too quickly...or at least, it volatilizes faster than the energy in supernatural beings. And the energy in humans should also volatilize so quickly that there is no time to cook it, so they have to eat it right away." ——Otherwise, how did Liu Shishi and the others know that what they were eating was human flesh? For the sake of the emotional stability of the experimental target, wouldn’t those people eat it after being processed so that people could not see their true colors?

"So, I suspect that they even killed people on the spot, and then let them eat right away, so that Liu Shishi and the others knew what they were eating."

Yue Zheng nodded silently, his analysis was very reasonable.

"Now, I guess, after this thing is eaten by people, it can also trigger supernatural powers." He said, and he glanced at his mother, "However, it may also cause ordinary people to explode and die directly - just like the end of the world. It was the same as those people when they first arrived. Wang An also said that among the people who ate human flesh, some of them exploded and died directly."

Xu's mother was suddenly startled: "I know! Someone in the base exploded and died after eating the meat of the mutant beast! But because it was a minority, although there are rumors that it was caused by the mutant beast, there is no way to prove it..."

Xu Song understood: "I remembered. Didn't the people in the caravan say that eating mutated plants would kill people? I suspect that the plants that eat dead people should be picked just now - mutated plants are different from animals. Even Eat the root immediately after picking it, and the energy contained in it may not have had time to dissipate."

Xu's mother slapped her hands: "Yes! The base also said that when eating mutated plants, you must cook them thoroughly... According to you, it is better for ordinary people like me not to eat fresh mutated plants and animals? To avoid being bombed to death? "

Xu Song thought for a while, then frowned and said, "I suspect—in fact, all survivors, like supernatural beings and mutant animals, have been impacted by this energy and even transformed." After finishing speaking, he looked at himself Mom, "Maybe because everyone's physique is different, so the body's tolerance level is also different, but as the energy continues to increase, everyone can gradually adapt to the environment after that..." As he spoke, he asked his mother , "Do you feel that you are different from before the end of the world?"

Mother Xu rolled her eyes: "I feel that my strength has increased, but it must be tiring."

Xu Song was speechless, and the calmness and rationality he had just analyzed dissipated in an instant.Yue Zheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said to Xu's mother: "When we eat in the future, let's clean up the food thoroughly before eating."

Xu's mother was about to nod, when her expression suddenly changed: "Every time I wash the fruit that Tiancheng grows, I eat it directly..."

Plants are different from animals. Even if they are picked off, they do not lose their vitality completely. However, Xu's mother has never had any problems. Could it be that her body has adapted to the current concentration of energy?

Xu Song made a decision: "Anyway, when we eat again, let's put it down before eating, especially mom."

Xu's mother sighed: "That is to say, you eat fresh ones, and I eat old ones!"

……

"Mom, I really didn't mean that..."

The north wind howled outside the car, and even lying in a well-sealed caravan, I could still hear that terrifying whirring sound.Xu Song rubbed his arms, wrapped himself in a quilt, and squeezed towards the middle of the bed, waiting for Yue Zheng, the pure natural, pollution-free human-shaped heater, to come up.

"I've seen the wolf skin. Fortunately, the ivy is tied up relatively firmly, so there shouldn't be any problems." The wind outside was very strong tonight, and Yue Zheng was afraid that something might happen to the wolf skin hanging outside, so he went out to have a look. .

He was still cold, and Xu Song couldn't help gasping after he got under the quilt—he was waiting for the heater, but a big ice cube came, colder than himself!

Hearing the sound of him inhaling, Yue Zheng smiled, and stepped back, but someone jumped on him directly——it's cold if it's cold, and it's warm after a while.

"It's only mid-October now, and it's already so cold. I don't know if this winter will be colder than usual." Xu Song pressed his head into his chest, his voice muffled.

Yue Zheng stroked his hair, and let out a comfortable breath. The warmth in his arms swept away the coldness that he had felt when he went out just now: "I can't tell, but I think it should be cold, but I don't know if it will last. for how long."

"Well, maybe the winter will be longer than usual... Shall we make some preparations in advance?"

Yue Zheng frowned and thought for a while: "Let's rent an extra space when we go back. I remember that the two sides next to each other are unused." The vast majority of Chinese people would rather live in a house than in an open-air tent. .

"Yes, otherwise there is no place to put that container...Since the winter may be longer, and maybe it will be difficult to go out to do missions then, let's store more things and put them in the container! It’s not snowing completely, get some more things back and store them!”

Yue Zheng nodded, thinking in his mind, in this way, it is best not to touch the meat, and after returning to the base, Abu’s food will also need to be improved, anyway, the number of mutated crops that can be grown is far greater than that of the last days. There will be much more before, just give it a little more stew.

The two of them leaned together, thinking about the various things that needed to be prepared in the future. Gradually, Xu Song's voice became lower and lower until he fell asleep completely.

Yue Zheng put his hands on his shoulders and neck, itching a little from his unconscious breath.He suddenly felt that he seemed to have eaten too much wolf meat tonight... The big hand slid down Xu Song's back regretfully, and stopped at a position that attracted people's imagination.

What a pity, today I am camping in the wild, if I am in the base... Tomorrow put some more wolf meat in the refrigerator, anyway, there are so many prey, just let Abu eat those!

The next morning, when Xu Song came downstairs, he heard his mother's surprised voice: "The windows are covered with ice!"

The north wind was very strong last night, Xu Song and the others turned on the air conditioner in the car ahead of time, so they didn't know how cold it was outside. It was only now that they saw the power of the north wind last night!

Abu, who was huddled together and kept warm with his own fur, had already woken up and ran to the side of the road to shake the fur on his body. Some scattered fine ice slags were scattered all over the ground by him.

A few people climbed out of the car to prepare for morning exercise, but Xu Song discovered by accident—"Ah! All the prey caught yesterday were frozen!!"

They were going to use these things to make air-dried dry goods, but overnight, the dry goods turned into frozen meat!

"That's not bad. Before the sun comes out, cover them with something so that the sun doesn't shine directly on them, and they won't thaw during the day." Xu's mother waved her hand, and Xu Song and Xu Song hurriedly let the last night hang out. Take the wolf's skin and wrap it on the prey.
