Chapter 38: Enlightenment
In addition to the surface layer of white rice, which is relatively clean, most of the parts that come into contact with the ground are stained with the liquid left by the green beetles after they are blown up, and there are some carapace fragments mixed in with them, which looks very disgusting. Luo Yuan originally wanted to throw it away, but was stopped by Huang Jiahui distressedly.
Santana's trunk was not enough to fit at all, so Luo Yuan had to remove the back seat, make room for all the supplies, and fill a full car.
"Alright, let's go!" Luo Yuan walked to the cab.
Huang Jiahui sat in the co-pilot's seat, holding Wang Shishi to his lap, Luo Yuan saw that the two of them were seated and started the car, and when they drove to the gate of the community, he looked back at the community that had almost become a ruin. It occurred to him that maybe he would never return to this place again.
The number of people walking into the streets began to increase, and people who had just experienced the baptism of artillery fire walked up to the streets one by one, looking at the road full of green beetle stump corpses and the ruined city. Some cheered, others cried.
Such a scene is both strange and familiar, but it is impossible to blend in. There was silence on his face, and he slowly drove along the road. It didn't take long for him to see a guard-grade green beetle in a dilapidated café on the side of the road.
A large hole had been blasted open in its abdomen, and the flesh was blurred with blood, and disgusting bodily fluids kept flowing down the tabletop-sized wound, forming a large patch of mucus on the ground. But the insect's powerful life makes it impossible to die for a while. Only one side of the wings flapped desperately, and several coffee seats were fanned away by its powerful force. It tried to stand up, but such an effort was doomed to be futile for a man missing a few limbs and a wing.
Luo Yuan only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to drive forward.
Such a murderous creature, even if it has been severely damaged, still has the ability to kill him, even if he has killed one before.
But he knew that that success was largely due to luck, but luck would not favor him every time, and he must not make a mistake in fighting such a fierce creature, as long as he missed once, there would be no second time, his physical defense was too weak, and the guard-level green beetle could resist the attack of a bullet, but he only needed a bullet to kill him.
At this time, the road vibrated slightly, and the roar of the engine was heard in the distance.
At the intersection, five armored vehicles and three large military heavy trucks rumbled towards this side, and Luo Yuan hurriedly turned the steering wheel and stepped aside.
The seven or eight heavy machine gunners standing on the heavy truck glanced at Luo Yuan, their expressions solemn and cold, with some iron-blooded aura.
This group of convoys was obviously doing the work of scavengers, and Luo Yuan saw that the behemoths that were more than ten meters long were loaded with green beetles, and they were all guard-level green beetles.
Seeing this scene, he thought for a moment, the military worked so hard to collect guard-level green beetles, in addition to using them for experimental research, the biggest possibility was probably to create evolutionary people. Even if the probability of this evolution is small, even only one in a thousand, as long as there is a base of 100,000, then the military can have a hundred evolutionary people, and if it is a million, then there will be a thousand.
But in fact, the probability is much higher.
The psychological barrier of ordinary people to eating raw green beetles is completely absent to these soldiers, and discipline and obedience have penetrated into the marrow of soldiers. He had no doubt that with an order from above, these soldiers could not hesitate to stuff those disgusting things into their mouths and swallow them.
A trace of panic suddenly appeared in his heart, he found that he had not really adapted to the coming of the troubled times, knowing that these things could bring opportunities for evolution, but because of emotional disgust, he resolutely refused to touch them!
"Why don't you drive?" Huang Jiahui didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing that Luo Yuan didn't drive for a long time, she couldn't help but remind.
"Finally figured out something." Luo Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"What are you thinking?" Huang Jiahui was curious, and couldn't help asking.
"If there was something that had a chance of human evolution, would you eat it?" Luo Yuan glanced at it and asked, then started the car and drove towards the intersection.
"Evolution? Are you kidding? Huang Jiahui snorted and said disdainfully. She doesn't usually surf the Internet much, and she doesn't have access to confidential things, so she obviously doesn't know about the existence of the Dao Evolutionary Man.
"I know that the Dao evolved people, and they are all talking about it on the Internet." Master Wang said.
"There really are evolutionary people, not movies." Huang Jiahui was a little skeptical this time.
"Am I joking?" Luo Yuan said as he drove.
"Then of course I eat it, and idiots don't eat this kind of thing?" Huang Jiahui said without pressure, but she didn't believe what Luo Yuan said, after all, the thing of evolving people is too fantastical and unreliable at all.
"Brother Luo, I want to eat too!" Master Wang whispered.
"Eat as much as you want, until you can't eat anymore." Luo Yuan had a mysterious smile on his face.
On the road ahead, several more mobile medical vans drove up, followed by one government relief vehicle.
Ten minutes later, Luo Yuan stopped in front of a hotel, which was only four floors and was considered the best preserved building in the vicinity.
He opened the door and stepped out of the car, the glass door in front of him had been shattered into a slag of glass, and the ground was covered with thick dust, apparently it had been closed for a long time.
"This is it, you can choose any room when the time comes." Luo Yuan walked into the hotel and took a look at it, and said.
Huang Jiahui also walked in, and said with an unnatural face: "It always feels weird, what should I do when the boss here comes?" ”
"It's also a hotel here, even if the boss comes, it's a big deal to pay for the room. Now in this situation, the other party will not say much. Luo Yuan said with a smile.
Huang Jiahui didn't say more.
The two found a luxuriously decorated suite on the third floor and began to move things. By the time everything was placed, it was almost noon. Huang Jiahui walked into the bathroom, and not long after, Huang Jiahui's anxious voice came from inside.
"There's no water here?"
"There's no water, I remember there was still one in the morning!" Luo Yuan's face changed, but there was not much surprise in his heart: "I'll go find the main valve below and see if it's closed over there?" ”
Saying that, Luo Yuan quickly went downstairs, and searched for more than ten minutes before finding it in a storage room on the first floor where sundries were placed. But he was soon disappointed, because the main valve was simply open, and he walked out of the hotel and walked towards the restaurant opposite the hotel, which was also closed.
When I walked into the kitchen inside, I quickly turned on the faucet, and the water pipe made a choked throat sound, but there was no water coming down.
Luo Yuan walked back with an ugly face.
"There's no water, and there's no water anywhere else!" Luo Yuan sat on the sofa with a gloomy face. "Today's bombing is so intense, I'm afraid even the waterworks have been affected, fortunately there are more than a dozen bottles of mineral water, use it first, Donghu City can no longer live, can only go to other places."
Huang Jiahui sighed, and sat down with a sad face: "Where are you going?" ”
Luo Yuan thought for a while: "Go to Hedong City, which is the provincial capital, and at least one group army is stationed next to it, it should be relatively stable." ”
Luo Yuan had a convincing feeling when he was calm, and Huang Jiahui's face calmed down: "It's good that you decide?" ”
"Then I'll go to Hedong City tomorrow morning!" Luo Yuan made a final decision: "Your car has enough gasoline, don't break down halfway." ”
"As long as the car doesn't fall apart, it's fine!"
Luo Yuan frowned.
Huang Jiahui panicked for no reason, and hurriedly said: "Donghe City is only more than 100 kilometers away from East Lake, and this Santana 2000 is well maintained, so this distance should be fine." ”
"That's good, or I'm going to change the car, it's a mess now, and I don't know who to go to buy it. Let's eat first, take out the bag of steamed buns, and eat a little bit today. Luo Yuan touched his stomach. Before, because of nervousness, even if he brought a bag of steamed buns, he was not in the mood to eat them. By now, my stomach is flattened with hunger.
Huang Jiahui got up and was about to go to the living room to get something, but was stopped by Luo Yuan: "Wait, don't eat it yet, I'm worried that you will all vomit out." I'm going to get something down there? ”
Saying that, Luo Yuan walked outside.
Only Huang Jiahui and Master Wang were left confused, and there was a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"Sister Huang, what did Brother Luo do?" Master Wang asked curiously.
"I don't know what to do, but I don't think it's good." Huang Jiahui pretended to be calm and said.
The two waited for half an hour, Luo Yuan finally came back, he was holding a piece of green beetle's carapace in his hand, judging from the color of the carapace, this carapace was obviously from the guard-level green beetle, Luo Yuan searched all the places around before he found such a piece of fish that slipped through the net.
Although the probability of evolution of ordinary green beetles and guard-level green beetles is described in the identification, there are differences in this vague text description, for example, the probability of three thousandths and seven thousandths of a probability can be described with a very small probability, but the size of the two is definitely different, and even a world of difference.
Luo Yuan believed that the evolution probability of the guard-level green beetle would definitely be a little higher than that of the ordinary green beetle, and even if it was the same, there would be no loss.
Luo Yuan put the carapace on the table and made a snapping sound.
Huang Jiahui and Master Wang suddenly remembered what Luo Yuan said in the car, their faces turned green, and they shook their heads again and again.
Luo Yuan saw that the two of them retreated a little, this is not good, since they have agreed before, it is not okay if they don't want to eat now. He also has to eat, one person's pain is not as good as everyone's suffering, otherwise how can the psychology be balanced?
Luo Yuan's voice was full of pyramid schemes: "I have removed the internal organs, body fluids, only the muscles of the back remain, this part contains rich nutrients, definitely more nourishing than any tonic in the world, you have a small chance of evolution, even if it is not good, you can improve your physique."
Huang Jiahui, do you want to have a strong force, even if the human race perishes, you can live?
Master Wang, I know that you have always been insecure, do you want to change yourself and no longer be afraid?
Now human life is not valuable, you think about how many people died today, I think more than 100,000, if it weren't for us just hiding under the underground parking today, there would be us among the dead, but this is not over, maybe we will never be able to open our eyes again after living today and tomorrow, in order to be able to get the strength to protect ourselves, what is it to suffer so much? ”
Master Wang's fists were clenched when he was said, his blood was boiling, and his eyes gradually lit up: "I think, I'...... I want to be strong, Brother Luo, I'll eat. ”
Huang Jiahui was also said to be excited, unable to help herself, and said excitedly: "I will eat too, I'll go find a pot now!" ”
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Luo Yuan's mouth, and he said lightly: "What are you looking for?" How troublesome, and this thing can only be eaten raw, otherwise it will have no effect. ”
As if she was greatly frightened, Huang Jiahui took a few steps back, her eyes popped out, she looked at the milky white muscles in the green beetle's stuck shell, and then looked at Luo Yuan, swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and said bitterly: "Raw...... Raw! ”
Master Wang's face was also pale, only to feel her stomach rolling, she suddenly covered her mouth, and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom.
