Chapter 20: The Present Life of Zhu Huai

Tian Yu stumbled and was kicked out of the Internet café. At this time, he was penniless, and two years ago, he was angry with his family, ran away from home, and never contacted his family again. In late autumn, the white garbage blown by the north wind on the streets of the western suburbs of Chengdu flashed past Tian Yu's feet, and he was still wearing this summer dress, which was slightly cold at this time. There was no one else on the street except for the people carrying the unmanned hovercar that passed by from time to time, and at one o'clock in the morning, Tian Yu racked his brains and wondered where he would go to sleep for a while.

At this time, the earth is already in 2047, and the anti-phagogue alliance has been established for 8 years, and the anti-phagogue and his team have studied the science and technology of the home planet, so that the earth science and technology have achieved breakthrough development. For example, automobiles have been mastered by humans at a low cost of anti-gravity suspension technology, making cars quiet and environmentally friendly.

Tian Yu suddenly thought of the Wenjiachang overpass where the third master always lived, so it was better to go to the third master's side and spend the night together, he had no choice but to go there.

The third master is a famous homeless man in the western suburbs of Chengdu, and he is very friendly to all homeless people, especially when it rains. The third master built a simple shack under the Wenjiachang overpass to shelter from the wind and rain, and envy the homeless.

The third master once mentioned to Tian Yu, 'Although he is a wanderer, he has some savings, if Tian Yu is willing to give him a ride in the future, he is willing to give his savings to Tian Yu, and Tian Yu does not have to wander again. ’

Who would believe that a homeless man would have savings, of course Tian Yu didn't believe it, but he didn't have any aversion to the third master. When encountering difficulties, Tian Yu often finds the third master to help, of course, sometimes he also reaches out to ask for some money, and the third master never refuses.

Tian Yu walked for nearly half an hour by the moonlight before he arrived in front of the shack under the overpass, Tian Yu saw that the messy grass and wood ash outside the shack had not all been extinguished, and concluded that the third master should have just laid down.

He lifted the improvised curtain of the hut.

"Third Master Xiaoyu is here to trouble you again." Tian Yu said to the shack in the dark.

No one answered in the shack.

"Third master, third master, are you here?" Tian Yu called out twice.

Seeing that there was no answer, Tian Yu lit a lighter and lit up the entire shack, but the scene in front of him made him throw the lighter, screamed, and sat on the ground.

He saw a bloody corpse lying in the shack. Due to the fright, Tian Yu finally got out of the shack and ran wildly to the place where there was a light.

His heart was about to burst out, and Tian Yu ran desperately, although he couldn't see any road at all. But just as he was running with all his might, he seemed to hear something chasing after him.

The sound was like a crazy bull rushing after him, Tian Yu didn't care to look back and identify it, he was already frightened by the bloody corpse in the shack.

Tian Yu only cared about running towards a light, but who knew that his feet suddenly stepped into the air, and he fell into the drainage ditch. There was no water in the ditch, but it was overgrown with weeds.

Tian Yu was wrapped in grass and vines around his right calf, and the sound of scurrying like a mad cow was getting closer and closer, obviously coming towards Tian Yu. Tian Yu tore the grass vine wrapped around his right calf indiscriminately, and suddenly a drop of liquid dripped onto Tian Yu's arm, and a burning pain hit him instantly, followed by a rough and rapid wheezing sound gradually approaching, Tian Yu raised his head and saw a pair of dark red eyes staring at him.

Looking at the outline, it was clearly a cow, and Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, a cow scared me half to death. Fuck off, damn brute! ”

Tian Yu cursed to drive away the bull's nose, which was already infinitely close, and grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the dark red eyes.

But the "cow" that Tian Yu thought did not leave because of the drive. Instead, it became angry, opened its fanged mouth, and emitted like a tiger

The roar, which shook for several kilometers, was swallowed right in front of Tian Yu's head.

I don't know where Tian Yu's strength came from, he broke free from the grass vine, and rolled sideways to avoid the monster's fatal mouth. Tian Yu's life should not be extinguished, he just rolled to a sewage outlet, climbed into the cement pipe that only allowed one person, and climbed as deep as he could. The monster tried to stick its head in, but the "horns" on its head blocked it from entering further. The dark red eyes stared at the cave for a moment, roared, and turned away, presumably looking for the next prey.

When the "cow" that Tian Yu thought was gone, Tian Yu still hid in the sewage hole and did not dare to come out, he was already incontinent. He curled up in horror, his eyes glazed over, and stayed in the sewage pipe all night until noon the next day.

Tian Yu still couldn't get rid of his fear, he heard the hovering cars outside non-stop, and then confirmed that the world outside the cement pipe was now safe, and climbed backwards out of the sewage cement pipe.

Tian Yuduo hoped that last night was just a dream, but when he climbed out of the cement pipe and found the messy drainage ditch and huge footprints like cow's hooves, he almost despaired that he had escaped from the monster last night.

That corpse can't be the third master's, right? Tian Yu carried his heart and walked towards the shack not far away. Footprints like cow's hooves are everywhere, and it seems that the monster has been looking for prey nearby last night. As you approach the shack, there are more and more footprints, and it is certain that the monster has visited the shack.

Tian Yu picked up a stone, walked to the shack, and threw the stone into the shack, he meant to use the stone to explore the way. Seeing that there was no reaction in the shack, Tian Yu entered the shack, and the bloody corpse in front of him was the third master's, and the limbs were still there, but the abdomen had been hollowed out.

Tian Yu endured his nausea and staggered out of the shack. Jumped over the fence, stopped a hovering car, asked the owner for help, told him to call the police, and then passed out on the ground.

By the time Tian Yu woke up again, it was already night, and he found himself lying in the hospital, surrounded by a policeman, a nurse, and his parents, whom he hadn't seen for two years.

Seeing Tian Yu wake up, Tian Yu's parents didn't ask Tian Yu what he experienced last night, they just hugged Tian Yu and cried, Tian Yu also cried, after all, this little life was saved.

"Xiaoyu, it's good for you to wake up, and it's up to you for the rest of the day. Don't run away from home again. Tian Yu's mother pleaded.

"Do you know how the two of us survived these two years?" Saying that, Tian Yu's mother began to touch her tears again.

"Mom and Dad, how do you two know I'm here?" Tian Yu was a little puzzled.

"You two take a break, and I'll explain to Tian Yu." The police beckoned Tian Yu's parents and nurse to another room to rest.

"We test your DNA and find your parents by comparison. There's something weird about your DNA, though. Someone will come to you to understand the situation in a while, and I hope you can cooperate. As a police officer, I am more concerned about the corpse that has been hollowed out. If you can think of anything, try to tell me, if there is anything uncomfortable, you can say it slowly, the psychiatrist is also ready, if you want, you can do a psychological relief first. ”

Tian Yu refused psychological intervention. Tell the police as much detail as possible about last night's events. Tian Yu was very calm, and he seemed to be a different person compared to yesterday.

"Okay, that's all for today, but keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else, including your parents. You have a good rest first. An expert will come to you shortly to find out what is going on. Remember, be careful to keep it strictly confidential. With that, the policeman left the room. and went to the house to invite Tian Yu's parents over. Let them take care of Tian Yu.

"What happened to Xiaoyu last night?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally found a murder and called the police."

The parents no longer asked, and chatted with Tian Yu about some trivial things in the past two years.

About half an hour, Su Di was led by the police to Tian Yu's ward. At this time, Sudi was already the world's top life scientist, and he introduced the life science of boron-based people to human beings, eliminating most diseases, including cancer, extending the average life expectancy of human beings to 130 years, and most of the deaths were natural deaths. When I learned about a very special genetic trait, I made a special trip from the United States.

After listening to Tian Yu's bizarre encounter, Su Di was silent for a while, in his opinion, Tian Yu's special genes were by no means caused by mutations, Tian Yu was no longer human, but he didn't say it.

"Do you see the monster clearly?"

"It looks like a huge cow, but it can make a tiger roar, and its eyes glow dark red at night, so you can't see anything else."

Could it be that Zhu Huai is now in the world? The man-eating monster in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" can't be Jin Shijie's masterpiece, right?

Zhu Huai, the man-eating beast recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", has a cow-shaped but four horns, its cry is like a tiger's roar, its mouth is full of fangs, its skin is extremely hard, and it eats human internal organs.

"I still remember that his saliva dripping on people's bodies can cause burning pain." As he spoke, Tian Yu raised his arm, found a fresh scar, and pointed it out to Su Di.

Su Di saw that the scar had scabbed over, and asked Tian Yu if he could take a scab for testing.

Tian Yu agreed, Sudi's request.

Sudy placed the scab into a small container and placed it into a machine the size of a cigarette pack, a simple but accurate DNA measuring instrument that could be used to deduce the physical characteristics of the living organism under this DNA characteristic. After a while, the machine projected two portraits, one was Tian Yu himself, and the other was the "cow" that Tian Yu mistook - Zhu Huai.

After seeing the image, Tian Yu nodded again and again.

"Yes, that's what the beast looks like."

"You are very special, this place is no longer suitable for recuperation. You prepare. Say goodbye to your parents and come with me. Su Di said to Tian Yu.

"Am I very special? What's so special? Tian Yu was a little confused.

"Come with me, you'll know." Sudi is in no hurry to break through.

"Where to go? I always have the right to know, right? Tian Yu asked.

"Beijing." Sudi replied, then turned to the police and whispered something.

"Say goodbye to your parents, and someone will pick you up later. I'll go back to Beijing and wait for you. Sudy finished and left the room. Leaving Tian Yu a mess. Tian Yu, who was only 19 years old, did not know that his fate had changed dramatically.
