Chapter 59: Squatting
Although Zheng Rui ridiculed Zuo Youcheng, she had to admit that his words gave her an important inspiration.
Energy converters can solve the energy supply of abilities, but in terms of how ability training can increase physical performance, abilities are not distinct from their other physiological activities. Therefore, the design of the energy converter must also involve the supply of energy to other physiological activities, so that the way the energy is driven can match the human body.
However, for some apparent purpose, the outsiders who have transformed them have retained the human appetite, and may even have made their appetite even more vigorous - when Zheng Rui first discovered that the aliens were edible, he couldn't help but eat a lot of alien meat.
Human beings can suppress their appetite with reason, but not everyone can maintain the state of reason prevailing at all times. Just like for Zuo Youcheng, his psychological hunger is not suppressed by other more pressing emotions, but it can be suppressed by the rejection of alien flesh in reason. In addition to relying on reason, when encountering a dangerous state of stress, or being mentally traumatized, psychological hunger will also be eliminated by stronger emotions, so Zheng Rui can not eat for a long time without feeling hungry.
- This hunger is mere false hunger, not a feedback of energy deficit.
Under the effect of calming emotions, Zheng Rui's head turned quickly.
If in fact they do not need to obtain chemical energy from food after being modified, then only a small amount of the substance they need to consume each day to supplement the elements is enough to maintain their activity. In this way, there is no point in guarding those food-based supplies, and what they really need is daily necessities and water. Household goods are consumed very slowly in today's lifestyle, so if they can find a clean source of water on the road, they can leave the store with enough daily necessities.
Or it doesn't matter if you don't have a clean water source on the road.
After the rainstorm, the alien shell placed by Miss Bian Na has been filled with water, and it can effectively slow down evaporation after covering it with the alien-shaped transparent wing membrane, so the current water storage is enough, and it is conservatively estimated that it can fully persist until the next rainfall. Water is more difficult to move than food in large quantities, and no one should steal water in the short time after a rainstorm, or even if they do, they won't steal much. So they can actually leave the commissary for a while and come back when they run out of water they bring with them.
But this must be based on the fact that the people who come when they are not there just pass by and take their things and leave, rather than having their eyes on the commissary to occupy it - which means that the people who come cannot be from the opposite neighborhood.
So the problem is still not solved, as long as the people in the community opposite are still there, Zheng Rui can only tie his hands and feet.
Looks like they'll have to be dealt with.
Fang Tong: Not good! Someone is coming on the road to the south!
Benna: They're back! Xiao Rui, hurry up—no, you'll be seen running back at this time......
Zuo Youcheng: Wait, now there is a forest blocking them and they can't see it, big guy, you go up the stairs and run south, the green belt in the southwest corner is a triangle surrounded by holly, there is a visual dead end!
At this time, Zheng Rui was very calm, she "looked" at the map shared in her mind, there were seven enemies, and they were still far from here.
The basement scene in the easternmost part of the room she was in was so bloody that the people probably wouldn't be here for long, and she should be able to hide here for a while, waiting for them to leave, maybe to test her suspicion that they didn't come back soon to search for supplies.
Zheng Rui: I'll hide in the cabinet in the basement first, and you can help watch a little.
Benna: Little Rui! Are you crazy?!
Zheng Rui: I'm very calm now, don't worry.
Zuo Youcheng: Brother, is your ability reliable? It doesn't affect people's judgment of danger, does it?
Fang Tong: It should be...... Reliable, right?
Zuo Youcheng: Don't "should" - big guy, why don't you come back quickly, it's not okay to be so "calm......
Benna: Stop chattering, you guys look at some people!
The seven red crosses marked on the shared map made their way down the road, and Zheng Rui ignored the stench of blood and corpses in the air and slipped into the iron lockers where the guards who used to live here hung their uniforms. The cabinet door had been closed tightly due to disrepair, but now it was slightly open, just enough for her to see outside.
The seven red forks first went to the first basement in the southwest, which was where the previous boss Brother Zhao was, and they stayed in the basement for a while—they couldn't see what was happening underground from the perspective of Bian Na and the others—and then came out and walked to the basement where Zheng Rui was.
Holding his breath in the iron cabinet, Zheng Rui could hear footsteps coming from the steps, and a woman's voice said, "It's disgusting, I won't go down." ”
"I don't want to go down either." It was a man's voice that seconded it.
"Wait here." A hoarse-sounding male voice said, "I'll go down with Four-Eyes." ”
After that, the footsteps became less and closer.
Zheng Rui saw two men appear at the staircase, one of which she had seen, Liu Haojia, who had gone to the field of the tube building to steal vegetables - the scumbag ex-boyfriend of Miss Bian Na.
He was followed by a young man with glasses, short and dark compared to Liu Haojia, who looked a little obscene.
Although Liu Haojia went down to the basement, he didn't get close to the corpse, just stood at the door, his hand in the pocket of his pants and watched. The young man with the glasses frowned, cautiously walked over to a corpse and looked into the disemboweled chest, and immediately turned his face away, as if he was about to vomit.
"Isn't there either?" Liu Haojia asked.
"......No," the bespectacled young man said with a frown, and as if he had mustered up his courage, he walked to the location of the other two corpses and took a look at them separately, before hurriedly running back to the door away from the entity, "No, all of them have been taken out." The ...... of this dog's day"
"Four-eyed, it seems that your prediction is not very reliable." Liu Haojia said with a chuckle, his hoarse voice made people feel uncomfortable, as if he had been choked by the neck a second ago.
"Brother Liu!" The young man with glasses hurriedly argued, "It's not my fault, who would have thought that the mongrel on the other side would get involved, Brother Liu-no, boss, give me another chance!" ”
"Chances are different, punishment must be there." Liu Haojia directly reached out and patted him on the door of the head, and the young man with glasses shook violently all over his body, and screamed from his mouth.
Fortunately, Liu Haojia's discharge time was less than half a second, and the young man sat down in the blood and gasped, and his glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose and couldn't be pushed.
"But even if I didn't make a alien puppet this time, I got rid of Zhao Weiming and his minions." Liu Haojia said as he left the door of the basement and walked up the steps, "Four eyes, you collect the things in this room and bring everything you can use back." ”
Listening to the footsteps, Liu Haojia and the others all went up the steps, and the six red crosses representing them on the shared map also left the range of this basement entrance.
All that was left was the bespectacled young man.
