569, never come back
According to everyone's thoughts, Zhou will definitely be able to solve the scourge of the experimental subject in a week, since the experimental subject failed to capture the city at the beginning, then after Zhou reacts, there is no need to take the experimental subject in his eyes.
But the reality doesn't seem to be like this, more than a week has passed since the day the test subject first began to attack the city, and Barrier 74 has not even seen the shadow of reinforcements.
When Li Ran and the others first started eating, they didn't care about controlling the amount of food, and everyone ate as usual, so that the food they bought before quickly bottomed out.
Zhou Yingxue also said two words, but everyone felt that they would be able to get out of trouble soon, and they would not be able to leave with food at that time, so it was better to finish eating.
So, Zhou Yingxue didn't say anything more, anyway, it was a big deal that she followed the master to eat potatoes, what does the life or death of this group of people have to do with her.
Now, Li Ran and the others saw that there was no hope of salvation, and they began to worry about eating again, but everyone remembered what Zhou Yingxue persuaded them and they didn't listen.
I was embarrassed to ask Zhou Yingxue to help me think of a way, but Ren Xiaosu was lukewarm, so he didn't put his mind on them at all, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to them.
Of course, this is also the time when you are not hungry, and you are really hungry, and these people are probably willing to eat even the bark, let alone beg someone.
It's just that at that time it was hard to say whether there was still bark on the streets.
Anyway, Ren Xiaosu didn't panic at all, he went out every day to see the situation of defending the city, whether there were any experimental subjects attacking him, and the rest didn't care.
The food in his storage space is at least enough for him and Zhou Yingxue to persist for another month, and the variety of food is quite rich, and there are still three wild boars left in the wild boar family that was served in one pot before.
Two days later, Li Ran and the others always thought that they could smell the smell of meat in the hotel, but when they looked for the taste, they didn't find anything, and everyone thought that they might be hallucinating from hunger.
Until they saw the shine on Zhou Yingxue's lips......
Zhou Yingxue didn't have the consciousness of stealing food at all, the pork was given by the master, and she didn't steal or rob it, and she didn't have the obligation to share it with others, right?
On that very day, an extremely strange thing happened.
Soldiers were lying behind the defensive bunker above the ramparts, and they saw a test subject crawling quickly, with something hanging from its mouth.
Everyone was a little puzzled, why did an experimental subject come here, did they come to surrender? Could it be that there was also internal strife within the experimental subject?
The subject descended under the ramparts, dropped what was in his mouth, and turned away, re-entering the dark forest.
The defenders at the head of the city looked at each other, and quickly put down a person in a hanging basket, and picked up what the test subject had discarded, which was a white cloth.
After Zhou Xingwen heard about this, he ran up the city wall, and he took the white cloth in the soldier's hand, on which were written a few words in blood: Negotiation, come alone.
Suddenly, Zhou Xingwen's scalp was numb, and the test subject could even write their words, and he also used words like negotiation.
Humans negotiate with test subjects?
Lao Li and Qin Sheng rushed over, and the people from the Tinder Company who were originally in the city explained to them what happened, and Lao Li suddenly said, "I'll go!"
Qin Sheng turned his head to look at Lao Li: "Teacher, you can't go, I'm afraid there are still 10,000 test subjects in the woods." ”
"Okay," Lao Li shook the white cloth and said with a smile: "Someone has to go and see what this experimental subject has in mind, I have no children, no daughters, no partners, no worries, and my only apprentice has also left the school, this kind of thing should be my go." ”
The officers of the Zhou army next to them didn't speak, they definitely didn't want to go, Lao Li was willing to stand up, and they admired it from the bottom of their hearts.
And seeing that this knight was talking and laughing, he didn't seem to be so afraid.
Lao Li's smile gradually closed: "And this experimental subject obviously has an intelligent life behind the control, if the other party negotiates with me and gets close to let me complete the beheading, then the danger of this experimental subject can probably be lifted." ”
As for the beheading, Lao Li will definitely be besieged to death by the test subjects, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to fight with so many test subjects.
But he didn't say anything about these things, since he went, he had to have the determination to die first.
Qin Sheng wanted to dissuade something, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Lao Li, and he smiled: "This matter is very exciting, isn't it?"
......
In the afternoon, Lao Li went down directly with a rope, and slowly walked to the forest alone.
As soon as he entered the forest, he noticed that there were constantly test subjects moving back and forth around him, surrounding him.
Instead of attacking Lao Li, the subject made a way for him to go all the way to the depths of the forest.
Lao Li stepped on the soft leaves under his feet, and as soon as the autumn passed, the leaves fell into the soil and turned into dust, and the result of his Lao Li would not be much different from the fallen leaves, it was just a matter of time or time.
Thinking of this, Lao Li strode forward, looking at the experimental subject beside him as if there was nothing.
After walking about two kilometers, Lao Li saw a test subject sitting by the campfire in front of him, holding a branch in his gray palm, and a sparrow stuck in the branch.
Lao Li stood still, he silently looked around, wanting to see if there was a chance to kill the other party, but he had to listen to what the other party wanted to talk about before he could do it.
But how do you talk about it? Do you write on both sides?
Just as Lao Li was thinking nonsense, the experimental subject suddenly laughed hoarsely: "I saw you, you were on the mountain that evening, and there was a young man next to you at the time, why didn't you see him coming." ”
Lao Li was surprised, the other party could still speak!
The test subject is a human mutation, and it is normal to be able to speak human words, but Lao Li feels very abnormal!
The subject's voice was extremely hoarse, as if two pieces of gauze were rubbing against each other: "Don't be too surprised, I'm also human, we became like this for the purpose of healing, but some people are as lucky as me, and they can gradually regain their senses, and some people are unfortunately turned into monsters." ”
Lao Li frowned and didn't speak, the amount of information in the other party's words was too great.
The test subject glanced at him, shook the sparrow in his hand and smiled: "This is for you to eat, I used to like to eat roasted meat, but now I prefer flesh and blood, and even occasionally like to eat some rotten food for a change of taste, you just stand there, one step closer will die here, don't think about me, you can't do it." ”
With that, the subject threw the sparrow to Lao Li.
Lao Li didn't dislike the sparrow when he took it, he raised his hand to his mouth and tore off a piece of meat, he asked while chewing: "Isn't it good to be a person, the meat must be roasted to be delicious." ”
"That's what I'm looking for you," the subject said hoarsely, "you help me find someone, and if I find one, I'll retreat into the forest, or I can go further south and never come back." ”
