But Li Zhen has a doubt in his heart - "promise" is always unfounded, just because a promise of "fir" is a bit childish to throw out valuable information for convenience. Even if the lieutenant colonel and Rongshu have "been friends for a long time", this matter is still not convincing.

Maybe there was another agreement between the two sides, and he didn't ask much. Once a person has the strength he has now, most of the intrigues will become quite ridiculous.

He was more concerned with the information brought by the lieutenant colonel, who was saying something in a rather solemn tone that seemed less important.

The kind of meat that people eat.

Rongshu once solemnly told him not to eat meat.

"You guessed it right, it's from the north - from Murmansk." The lieutenant colonel said in a deep voice, "That thing...... I always felt like there was something evil about it. ”

The lieutenant colonel appears to be a northerner with a slightly gruff voice. This tone and choice of words reminded Li Zhen of listening to the old man tell a story when he was a child-"evil spirit". The word came out of his mouth, as if the temperature in the room had dropped a little.

"The common people say that it is not good meat, it is human flesh, which is of course nonsense. But as far as I can see, it's really not a good thing. I also know about genetic engineering and stuff like that—a lot of the meat products we ate before the war were made out of genetic engineering. But now in the north, those people don't have the heart to do this. They traded meat for us, but the amount was too large. I have been in Siberia for more than ten years, and I never knew that the city of Ludao could supply such a large amount - almost half of Siberia. ”

"I've seen it with my own eyes."

The lieutenant colonel fell silent after saying this, and neither Li Zhen nor Rong Shu urged him. The two of them could tell that he seemed to be a little distracted—perhaps the sight of that day still had enough impact on him to this day.

Half a minute later. The lieutenant colonel continued: "It's like a building. ”

"It's like a building...... It is more than ten meters high. It was on a shelf when I saw it, and I couldn't see what it looked like underneath. The storeroom it was in couldn't really hold it—the men opened the skylights, and the top was covered with glass, so that the sun could shine down. ”

"Hmm...... Actually, it's more like a rocket launch tower, you know, that kind of big thing. And they cut the flesh off of it. ”

Rong Shu raised his eyebrows in a little surprise: "More than ten meters tall? ”

The lieutenant colonel nodded.

"I've seen genetically engineered embryo workshops." Li Zhen hesitated to speak, and at the same time looked at the lieutenant colonel, "I've seen a whole piece of meat the size of a cow, artificially bred - what are you talking about?" ”

The lieutenant colonel grinned and shook his head: "I've seen that thing you said too." What I see is different from that. The pieces of meat in the genetics lab are really just pieces of meat—no bones. Even thicker blood vessels are rare. But general, what I see is as if a man's arm has been magnified hundreds of times! ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief, as if to say to himself, "Yes." Actually, how I look at it, it's an arm. Put it upside down. When I see you. Over there with the biceps—"

He gestured at himself, "It's on the ground, and it's been cut off in one piece." The blood vessels in it are dense. Arteries and veins are like oil pipelines. At first glance, there were quite a few tubes going under the muscles, and I thought it was really genetic meat, and those tubes were used to transport nutrients. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt ......"

"Actually, those pipes went into the veins of that arm and drew blood - otherwise the thick arteries would spurt blood, and they would have to splash dozens of meters high!"

Eiki's face showed a disapproving look, apparently he thought the lieutenant colonel's statement was too funny. The big premise of the absurdity is that it is the arm of some creature. But the problem is that if an arm leaves the body, the blood should have run out long ago, so why bother with any pipes to draw blood?

He wanted to interrupt the other person's narrative and ask more practical questions.

However, he heard Li Zhen's voice: "What does that arm look like?" ”

Eiki turned his head and looked at him in surprise. Li Zhen's expression was very serious, as if he was thoughtful. So he fell silent.

The lieutenant colonel was obviously pleased to see that the general was interested in what he was saying, so he cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's what an arm looks like." If you want me to say, like us, we have skin, muscles, and blood vessels, but I don't see any bones. ”

"There's something between you and it?" Li Zhen asked.

The lieutenant colonel looked at him in surprise and nodded, "yes, that thing seems to be in a greenhouse—there's a thick glass wall between us." ”

"It's just a glass wall? Nothing else? Li Zhen continued to ask.

The lieutenant colonel looked at him puzzled. It seemed that the other party had indeed heard of that thing for the first time, but how could he know it......

"Yes. There were some contraptions attached to the walls, and they were so big that I couldn't make out what they were. In fact, there is no one in it, it is all machinery - cutting meat, transporting ......"

Li Zhen asked for the third time, and straightened up slightly: "You mean that when you saw it, there was still meat cut off from it?" You think carefully and don't let go of a single detail. ”

The lieutenant colonel paused and looked at Eiki. No matter how dull the person was, he could see that Li Zhen was quite interested in this information, so the lieutenant colonel hesitated. Everything has a price......

Li Zhenzhi said what he was thinking. He smiled coldly: "It's better to tell me everything you know." I don't know what the agreement is between you, but this thing is ...... It has little to do with the agreement between you. Not...... Or that individuals and organizations like you don't have much to do with it. This may be a matter that concerns the fate of the entire world. ”

This hat is so buttoned up - the fate of the world. This kind of thing from anyone's mouth will make people laugh, but Lieutenant Colonel Zhilu said that he is not facing "random people" at the moment.

He was stunned for a moment, and his tone became more solemn. A thought took shape in his mind, and he asked tentatively in a slightly trembling voice, "You mean...... Species? Is that a kind of meat? ”

Li Zhen smiled softly and shook his head: "You just have to say - at most, in the future, I don't care about your bullshit junta here." ”

The lieutenant colonel pursed his lips. He pondered for a moment and continued, "To talk about the details...... A lot of them can't remember now. But the workshop where I was there was actually working—cutting the meat and transporting it out, and there were only two processes there. I watched it there for about a minute, and I cut it dozens of times, and the finished product was the kind of meat we saw, which was quite thick and firm. ”

"That kind of meat is ten centimeters thick." Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "You said that you cut it dozens of times, which is dozens of ten centimeters - several meters." But you say that the whole arm is only ten meters long, then that means ......"

"It's cut and grows, right under your nose."

The lieutenant colonel was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening. Then he slapped his knee: "Yes! How could I not have thought of that?! ”

Li Zhenluo smiled slightly and said softly, "It's reasonable." ”

The lieutenant colonel didn't know what this "reasonable" meant, but Li Zhen asked him a few more detailed questions, and he answered them one by one.

Then Li Zhen leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, waving his hand: "You two can talk." ”

So after a brief silence, the lieutenant colonel and Eiki talked in a low voice. Li Zhen was thinking about something very incredible and terrifying, and at the same time listening to these two people.

Rongshu didn't shy away from him, perhaps intentionally letting him know more about Lu Dao.

Because of a secret agreement between the junta and Murmansk, where the Gate of Truth is entrenched, the two sides actually maintained limited contact in private – for example, the lieutenant colonel went to Murmansk to observe their production workshop up close. So the junta knows more about things further north.

And "Fir and Eagle" needs this information. From Rong Shu's words, Li Zhen felt that they seemed to be just "taking precautions" and wanted to know more about the enemy in advance. But if you think about it more – the North has just experienced a nuclear explosion and the damage is bound to be heavy – perhaps they want to take advantage of the fire.

But the two kids may have fought for a very small reason, but if an organization like Fir and Eagle had to do something, there must be a reason to do it. And whether it is "taking precautions" or "robbing while the fire is fired", it seems a bit far-fetched as the reason why Rongshu came here to take risks alone.

The two men talked for two hours, along with some minor arguments, before finally reaching an agreement. And Li Zhen also knew some things he wanted to know. Although Lieutenant Colonel and Eiki's words are rather subtle at certain times, this does not prevent him from knowing something behind the scenes through appearances.

For example...... The two men who were in the same car.

Those two people were weird. He is tall and fit, but he has the characteristics of a similar species between his eyebrows and eyes. Of all the creatures Li Zhen had seen, perhaps Qingqing was the most similar to them. But these two people will never be "disciples", they are both too "weak".

In the group of "Firs and Eagles", such people seem to make up the majority. Eiki asked about some of the details of the Murmansk base camp in great detail, and was particularly interested in the research facilities there. Li Zhen felt that there must be a connection between the two—perhaps the connection between those two people and the Gate of Truth was closer than he thought.

But all this seemed insignificant in front of the arm in the lieutenant colonel's mouth.

And that thing...... He didn't know how to describe it, or how not to face it.

Li Zhen realized that if his bold guess was true and verifiable, then ......

Perhaps the suffering of this world has just begun. (To be continued......)
