Chapter 62: Fasting
If the fire-controlled electromagnetic beam can really penetrate the human body to destroy this device that is visually determined to be an energy converter, it will be very beneficial to Zheng Rui and them.
Killing the "Four Eyes" in the basement opposite was out of the sanity of the situation, but after returning to his own territory, Zheng Rui still preferred to abolish his opponents rather than deprive them of their lives.
She didn't show mercy to the enemy, but she just considered that except for Liu Haojia as the leader and "Four Eyes" as the mastermind, it was very likely that the others were forced to join their team just because they were faced with a choice between the two forces at that time. If they didn't join Liu Haojia, they might become the fourteenth corpse used to hatch the alien, so it was understandable to make this choice.
However, it is not yet known for sure whether the cylinder is an energy converter or not.
- How do you know if it's not?
Zheng Rui took the cylinder to the steps and took a closer look. Aside from the "click" sound just now, this thing doesn't look the same as before.
She suddenly felt a little frustrated, and now she couldn't even be sure if the electromagnetic beam had really destroyed it.
Start over......
Facts that cannot be expected to be discovered by chance.
-- We must have a consistent strategy.
In fact, we haven't even fully confirmed what the goal is.
Zheng Rui wanted to find a hospital before, but because Liu Haojia and they had already disemboweled, she now knew that there was a suspected energy converter of this cylinder in the chest cavity of the modified person without going to the hospital. She could still stick to her goal of finding the hospital, and there would probably be a microscope in the basement of the hospital, where she could see what was unusual in her blood and other tissues, and then explore how the immortal ability worked.
But that may not be a very important thing.
The current situation is that the aliens are evolving. On August 15th, she saw the alien for the first time, and on August 16th, the alien attacked one of the five people in the basement opposite, and the second generation of evolutionary aliens began to hatch at that time, and by August 20th, she encountered the evolutionary aliens, which means that it took more than four days for the aliens to grow from eggs to adults. And now it's the evening of August 22nd, and at this rate, the third generation of aliens will appear the day after tomorrow, even if it won't appear in the opposite community, it doesn't mean that it won't come here.
Not to mention that there are people who can assimilate aliens into puppets.
This ability now seems to be completely unbelievable. So far, Zheng Rui has observed that the combat power of the alien is on average stronger than that of humans, so if you can master the alien, it is equivalent to mastering the most powerful weapon known to you - in addition to traditional thermal weapons.
One of the reasons why Zheng Rui had believed that armies would take over regions was based on the premise that thermal weapons had a significant advantage over abilities. However, if someone can control a large number of aliens, they may not be at a great disadvantage compared to rifle-armed armies in guerrilla warfare based on underground structures.
If no army takes over for a month, or even longer......
I don't know what will happen in the future.
Zheng Rui rubbed her eyes and saw that the light outside was already very dim.
"Xiao Rui, it's time to eat." Benna shouted to her from inside the house.
By the way, you can also verify whether it is necessary to eat.
"Sister Na, according to my hypothesis, we don't need to eat every day." Zheng Rui replied, "If that cylinder is really an energy converter, then its energy conversion efficiency is much higher than that of the human digestive system, and it is enough to use a little bit of energy other than the power supply to supply daily physiological activities." ”
"So...... You're not eating? Bian Na asked while mixing the alien meat in the iron basin, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
"Hungry, but experiment." Zheng Rui walked to the box and sat down, "If you're hungry, I'll just try it alone." I just ask you to eat quickly, I can bear it. ”
Zuo Youcheng also limped over with a hanger, turned over the box and sat next to her: "I won't eat it either, anyway, I won't eat that thing." ”
"Hey, you kid-" Ben Na angrily threw down the iron basin, "you don't eat alien meat now, you will steal something else later." Then she said to Fang Tong, who was sitting in the shadows behind the box, "Fang Tong, you have to come over for dinner, right?" ”
Fang Tong stood up silently and walked over to eat.
Zuo Youcheng muttered, "My brother actually eats that kind of thing......"
"What's wrong with that?" Zheng Rui asked with some resentment. What she and Bian Na both ate, how did it become incredible food when they came to Zuo Youcheng?
"Big guy, didn't you say that if you have an energy converter, you don't have to eat at all?" Zuo Youcheng said, "Then if you look at it this way, eating alien meat may not have any effect at all." It's probably just not poisonous, so you'll be fine after eating it, and you'll be able to satisfy your appetite, but you won't be able to provide energy at all. ”
He figured it out.
Zheng Rui said indifferently: "So what? Satisfying your appetite is also an important function, not to mention having something to eat now. If eating makes people happy, why not eat? ”
"But...... Alien meat, how disgusting. Zuo Youcheng said with a faceless face.
"When people are hungry, they eat even their own kind." Zheng Rui just said calmly, "What's more, even if you are not hungry, there are still people who eat children in the late Qing Dynasty." ”
Zuo Youcheng couldn't help frowning, leaned over and shouted to Fang Tong: "Brother, you better take the ability." If she keeps doing this, she's going to have to be perverted. ”
Fang Tong raised his head, and Zheng Rui sensed the change in perspective from his blurred vision in his mind.
Fang Tong: Do you want to disconnect emotional control?
Zheng Rui: Don't break.
Fang Tong: I think Xiaoyou is right, it's always bad like this.
Zheng Rui: I don't think anyone wants to see me have a convulsion right now.
So Fang Tong didn't disconnect the ability, but said to Zuo Youcheng from a long distance: "It's not time yet." ”
Fang Tong: Aren't you hungry?
Zheng Rui: I'm hungry, and I suggest you don't ask, the more you ask, the more hungry I feel.
Fang Tong: Then why don't you eat? With the current food reserves, it should be enough for the four of us. Do you have to try if you can go without eating?
Zheng Rui: That's different, I'm experimenting.
Fang Tong: Why do you want to do experiments?
It's a bit of a level. Zheng Rui thought about it carefully, she tried to see if she could really not eat, in essence, in order to prepare for leaving the commissary later. But now in terms of overall strategy, we have not yet decided that we must leave the commissary in the future.
But for Zheng Rui, it seems that what research is going to do does not depend on what practical implications it has. To be precise, practical application is not the only driving force for all researchers committed to basic research
Zheng Rui: This experiment was easy to do, so I did it first, and it didn't interfere with any other plans.
