According to everyone's expectations, Zhou will definitely be able to solve the experimental subject's troubles within a week. Since the experimental subject failed to capture the city at the beginning, there is no need to put the experimental subject in the city after Zhou reacts. In the eyes.
But the reality does not seem to be like this. More than a week has passed since the day when the experimental subjects first started to attack the city, and there was not even a sign of reinforcements in Wall 74.
When Li Ran and the others first started eating, they didn't care about controlling their food intake. Everyone ate as usual, so that the food they bought before quickly ran out.
Zhou Yingxue also said a few words. As a result, everyone felt that they would be out of trouble soon, and they would not be able to leave with the food by then, so they might as well finish it.
Therefore, Zhou Yingxue said nothing more. The worst she could do was eat potatoes with her master. What did the life and death of this group of people have to do with her.
Now, seeing no hope of rescue, Li Ran and the others began to worry about food again, but everyone remembered Zhou Yingxue's persuasion, but they didn't listen.
I was too embarrassed to ask Zhou Yingxue to help me think of a solution, but Ren Xiaosu was lukewarm, not paying attention to them at all, and didn't even bother to pay attention to them.
Of course, this is not yet the time to be hungry. If you are really hungry, these people are probably willing to eat tree bark, let alone beg for help.
It’s hard to say whether there was still tree bark on the streets at that time.
Anyway, Ren Xiaosu didn't panic at all. He went out every day to check on the situation of the city defense and whether any experimental subjects were attacking, and ignored the rest.
The food in his storage space is at least enough for him and Zhou Yingxue to last for another three months, and the food variety is quite rich. Even the wild boar family that was eaten in one pot before has three wild boars left.
Two days later, Li Ran and others felt that they could smell the vague smell of meat in the hotel, but when they looked for the smell, they found nothing. They thought it might be... You must be hallucinating from hunger.
Until they saw the gloss on Zhou Yingxue’s lips...
Zhou Yingxue had no intention of eating it secretly. Anyway, the pork was given to her by the master, and she neither stole nor owned it. If you rob it, you have no obligation to distribute it to others, right?
On that day, an extremely weird thing happened.
On top of the barrier, there were soldiers lying behind the defensive bunker. As a result, they saw an experimental subject crawling over quickly with something hanging in its mouth.
Everyone is a little confused, why did an experimental subject come? Is it here to surrender? Could there be internal strife within the experimental body?
The experimental subject came under the barrier, threw away what was in his mouth, turned around and left, and went back into the dark forest.
The defenders on the top of the city looked at each other, and quickly lowered a man down in a hanging basket, and picked up the discarded object of the experimental subject, which was a piece of white cloth.
After Zhou Xingwen heard about this, he ran up the city wall. He took the white cloth from the soldier's hand and put it onThere were a few words written in blood on the face: Negotiation, come alone.
For a moment, Zhou Xingwen’s scalp was numb. This experimental subject could still write their words, and even used words like negotiation.
Humans negotiate with experimental subjects? How to talk about it?
Lao Li and Qin Sheng rushed over. The people from the Fire Company who were on the top of the city explained to them what happened. Lao Li suddenly said: "I'll go!"
Qin Sheng turned to look at Lao Li: "Teacher, you can't go. I'm afraid there are still ten thousand experimental subjects in the woods."
"Okay," Lao Li shook. The piece of white cloth smiled and said: "Someone must go and see what the experimental subject is up to. I have no children, no partner, no worries, and my only apprentice has also left the apprenticeship. This kind of thing is exactly what I should do."
None of the officers of Zhou's army said anything. They definitely didn't want to go. They admired Lao Li from the bottom of their hearts for his willingness to stand up.
And seeing the knight chatting and laughing, he didn’t seem that scared.
Lao Li's smile gradually faded: "And this experimental subject is obviously controlled by an intelligent life behind it. If the other party negotiates with me and gets close enough for me to complete the beheading, then the experimental subject will be in danger. It can probably be lifted."
As for Lao Li, he will definitely be besieged to death by the experimental subjects after being decapitated. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to fight with so many experimental subjects.
But he didn’t say any of these last words. Now that he’s gone, he must first be determined to die.
Qin Sheng wanted to dissuade something, but Lao Li stopped him before he could say anything. He smiled and said, "This is very exciting, isn't it?"
...
In the afternoon, Lao Li went down directly with a rope and slowly walked towards the forest alone.
As soon as he entered the forest, he found that shadowy experimental subjects were constantly moving back and forth around him, surrounding him.
The experimental subject did not attack Lao Li, but instead made way for him, heading deep into the forest.
Lao Li stepped on soft leaves under his feet. After autumn, the leaves fell into the soil and turned into dust. The result of Lao Li was not much different from the fallen leaves, but It's a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Lao Li strode forward, looking at the experimental body beside him as if it were nothing.
After walking about two kilometers, Lao Li saw an experimental subject sitting by the campfire in front of him, holding a branch in his gray palm, with a sparrow stuck on the branch.
Lao Li stood still. He looked around silently, wanting to see if there was a chance to kill the other party, but before doing so, he had to listen to what the other party wanted to talk about.
But how to talk about it? Do both parties write?
While Lao Li was thinking wildly, the experimental subject suddenly laughed hoarsely: "I saw you before. You were on the mountain that evening. There was a young man beside you at the time. Why didn't you see him coming?"
Lao Li was surprised.He can also talk!
The experimental subject is a mutated human being. It is normal to be able to speak human language, but Lao Li thinks it is very abnormal!
The experimental subject's voice was extremely hoarse, like two pieces of gauze rubbing against each other: "Don't be too surprised, I am also a human being. We became like this in order to cure diseases, but some people Fortunately, I can gradually regain my consciousness, but some people unfortunately turn into monsters."
Lao Li frowned and said nothing, because the amount of information in the other person's words was too much.
The experimental subject glanced at him, shook the sparrow in his hand and said with a smile: "This is for you to eat. I used to like roasted meat, but now I prefer flesh and blood." , and even occasionally like to eat rotten food for a change, just stand there, if you take a step closer, you will die here, don’t try to plot against me, you are not good enough.”
Speaking, experiment. Ti then threw the sparrow to Lao Li.
Lao Li didn't mind taking the sparrow. He raised his hand to his mouth and tore off a piece of meat. While chewing, he asked: "Isn't it good to be a human being? The meat must be roasted before it tastes good." "
"This is exactly why I came to you," the experimenter said hoarsely: "You guys help me find someone. If I find him, I will go back to the mountains and forests, or I can go further south. , never come back."
