Chapter 405: Five Questions
The only sober person said that his name was Ma Zhitu, and everyone else called him Lao Ma, but in fact he was only 25, and I guess this title may come from 'Lao Ma Zhitu'.
He is the cook in Guo Wei's team, different from the image of the cook in film and television works, he has myopia glasses with a thick bottle bottom on his eyes, and he is very thin, if he doesn't say it, I can't guess that he is a chef at all.
Ma Zhitu crackled like a bean and confessed his old roots, and he also told us that Guo Wei died under the claws of the mutant beast on the day he was betrayed.
The rest of the people lived in fear all day long, living in fear every day, and now they are almost in despair.
Ma Zhitu told us what happened to them, and it turned out that the strangers who migrated to Bal City first were foreigners who fled from the Soviet Union, and two of them were originally trading in the border town of the Soviet Union.
Most of the aborigines of Baal City have become zombies, and the rest are missing, and when this group of Soviet supernatural people arrived here, they killed all the zombies in the city, thinking that they would be able to live and work in peace and contentment from now on.
"But the nightmare begins...... "Ma Zhitu's thin shoulders trembled, and he spoke quickly about what had happened in the past three months.
Gu Yu waited for him to finish before he raised a few questions: First, the corpses of the Su people are described as withered, and their more than 30 prisoners look healthier than the Su people, although Ma Zhitu is thin, he has a good complexion, and he does not look like a person who can't eat or drink at all.
Second, where are the high-tech products or materials that Guo Wei brought out when he separated?
Third, what are the mutant beasts that are rampaging through this place, and what abilities do they have?
Fourth, why are everyone else in a coma, and only Ma Zhitu is awake alone?
Fifth, where did the Sioux go, and how many of them were left?
Ma Zhitu has just said that after losing Guo Wei and several middle-level cadres, their team has lost its cohesion.
There have been attempts to escape, either alone or in groups, only to result in blood splattered in the square.
So I interjected before he answered Gu Yu's question: "You mean, the square outside is the canteen of mutant beasts?" ”
"Yes, every seven days, the Su people pick ten people to send to the square, and those monsters come to eat people on time."
I nodded, didn't interject again, and let him continue to answer Gu Yu's question.
Ma Zhitu's face was full of eagerness, and he could see that he was bent on us saving him from the hands of the Sioux and the mutant beasts, so he behaved very actively.
He said that the people of the Soviet Union were also threatened by the mutant beasts, and they had to pay the 'grain' on time every week, and they once tried to be shoddy, but after being discovered by the mutant beasts, they killed twenty of them in one go.
After their second attempt to get through, the mutants cost them another thirty men.
The cost of fifty lives made the people of the Soviet State realize how stupid it was to deceive this group of monsters.
They are not simpler than humans, and they are even more ruthless, because in their eyes, humans are just pigs, cows and sheep.
In the early half a year of the apocalypse, the food of the Su people and the 'food' of the tribute mutant beasts were quite sufficient.
However, since the three northern provinces have encountered an unprecedented zombie influx, there have been no survivors in Baal City for a long time.
If the 'fat sheep' doesn't come to the door, the mutant beast will eat the Su people, but the Su people know that the mutant beast is very picky eater through observation.
They only eat healthy and meaty, not fat or thin people, and have no appetite for ordinary people.
Therefore, the people of the Soviet country deliberately starved themselves and lost weight, and the effect of losing weight in a hundred days was very good, and sure enough, the yellow muscle and thin food opposite the mutant beast was not cold.
I thought about it from the perspective of the mutants, and it was unlikely that they would eat so many Adepts just to eat.
It is likely that they are absorbing the energy of the superpowers, and as early as the beginning of the apocalypse, the Mei brothers and sisters made a fortune by selling supernatural zombies.
Humans can absorb the energy of zombies, and they can absorb the energy of mutant beasts, so why not?
Therefore, the more they eat, the stronger they become, and the human supernatural can not take them, Guo Wei's people are fed as 'high-grade meat'.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of fat, and despite being afraid, Ma Zhitu and they had to accept the feeding of the Su people, and they were raised to be strong and delicious.
Compared with dying another day, they chose to die another day, and they were terrified and got by every day.
After Ma Zhitu answered the first question, the doubts in my heart became a little thicker, and I wanted to hear him answer the second question immediately.
Where is the high-tech brought by Guo Wei? Why didn't they play their role at the moment of truth?
We've only seen the ability cancelling device so far, is it because the Soviets didn't use other weapons, or did they not get it?
"Captain Guo has hidden the research results and materials, and no one knows where the things are except him. The ability elimination device was originally what he wanted to deal with the people of the Su Kingdom, who would have thought that ......"
Guo Wei and the Su people did not plan to live in friendship with each other, Guo Wei wanted to strike first, but the Su people were still a good player, they bribed Guo Wei's two cronies, and while they were asleep, they laid a special ability elimination device.
They were also programmed to lose their protection, and the initial setting of the ability elimination device was ineffective for all safe zone abilities.
But after all, the program is something that people can tamper with, and Guo Wei's two cronies have the password to modify the program.
As for what the Su people promised them, Ma Zhitu didn't know, he only knew that after the incident, the two cronies were also fed mutant beasts.
The ability was suppressed, the weapon was confiscated, and Guo Wei was also broken legs, and together with other cadres, he was thrown into the square to make a delicious meal.
Speaking in detail, I am still Guo Wei's murderous enemy, I was worried about his retaliation, but I didn't think about it, and he was buried under the cruel competition of the last days before he took revenge.
The food chain is everywhere, it's just that humans fall from the very top and re-enter the 'qualifying'.
The few cadres who died were all Class A abilities, the pillars of Guo Wei's team, and their death was like pulling out the minions of this team, and the rest could only wait for death.
"Those two cronies betrayed Guo Wei without asking about the whereabouts of the things?" Gu Yu asked after thinking for a moment.
"At that time, we all thought that the things were in the safe that Captain Guo had brought with him, and he had been personally taking care of this safe and paying special attention to it. After his death, the Sioux pried open the safe and found it full of gold and jewelry. ”
"After he parted ways with Tumu, he only brought a safe?" I asked.
"Well, yes, and then normal equipment." Ma Zhitu said with certainty.
I looked at Gu Yu and said in my heart that if this person didn't lie, then the research results that Guo Wei had assigned might still be somewhere in the temporary station.
He didn't bring anything out at all, it was actually safer for him to do so, they hadn't decided where to stay when they came out, and they were in danger outside, and it wasn't safe to run around with important belongings.
But after all, I didn't say what I guessed in my heart, and if I guessed correctly, I would have to wait for the opportunity to search with our people in the future.
Now it is not appropriate to make a noise, I have a small calculation in my heart, so I listened to Ma Zhitu open his mouth to explain the third question.
It is also a question that is closely related to us at the moment, who is the mutant beast that threatens the people of the Soviet State and captively raises the alien abilities of the safe zone?
"It's... It's an orc! ”
"What is a half-orc? Did animals evolve into humans, or did humans degenerate into beasts? I immediately asked.
"No, it's not, it's the mutant beasts that eat the high-level zombies and produce secondary mutations, they can speak human words and think like humans."
I've heard about the fusion of mutant beasts and zombies, but I don't know if the half-orcs that Ma Zhitu said are the kind of creatures I've heard of.
Ma Zhitu paused, and then said: "Their ability is sound waves, a kind of inaudible sound waves, which can sometimes shock people into tofu brains, and sometimes they can slice them. ”
I glanced at him, and said in my heart that he was worthy of being a cook, and I was a little hungry for human flesh when he said that.
Thinking of this, I suddenly raised my eyebrows and asked, "You said that orcs don't eat skin and bones, so under what circumstances will they kill those who don't eat?" ”
Ma Zhitu was stunned, and reacted for two seconds before saying, "Useless people." ”
Gu Yu frowned slightly, he should have understood what I meant, since the person who sent the flare was from the Soviet Union, it must be a skinny guy, and it really didn't make sense for him to be attacked in the square.
Don't the orcs need him anymore? Don't the orcs want to eat these thirty-five Adepts? Why kill breeders?
Ma Zhitu was still at a loss after speaking, and didn't understand why I suddenly asked this, so I explained: "Just now someone fired a signal flare in the square, luring us over, but we found a lot of blood in the snow, if this person is from the Soviet Union, he is dead." ”
"He's dead?!" Ma Zhitu's performance seems to be more confused than us.
Gu Yu pointed to the place where the corpses were piled up and asked, "How did they die?" ”
Performanceally, these people died of hunger and cold, but the reality is obviously much more complicated and far from our previous speculations.
"Sick and dead." Ma Zhitu's answer was beyond my expectations.
Gu Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "What disease?" ”
Ma Zhitu shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows, anyway, it's not contagious, it may be food poisoning." ”
"No one cares about the corpses here?" I looked at the pile of dried corpses, and it was not too short to die, and the people of the Soviet Union actually piled them up in the building like this.
"I can't care about it, they suddenly died when they were sleeping the night before yesterday, and it's okay to be alone, so many dead people, they can't carry them on their backs, and it's cold and snowy outside, throwing it on the street is the same as putting it on the street."
It turned out that Ma Zhitu and the others had been locked up on the third floor, and the fourth floor was the living quarters of the Soviet people, who had just been stunned and stuffed into a cabinet.
Needless to say, it must have been the person who sent the flare who did it, Ma Zhitu said that there were still two days before the day of feeding, and they were discussing a partnership to kill the surviving Su people and escape from Bal City.
As a result, he was stunned by the man just now, and Ma Zhitu thought that the man was going to feed him in advance, and he was scared to death.
Then the fourth question makes me even more curious, why is everyone else unconscious, only he is awake?
"Me, I've been diving for a few years, and I can hold my breath very well, my mother said that I was a fish in my last life, and I can hold it for twenty minutes in one breath!"
Gu Yu suddenly asked, "What is your ability?" ”
Ma Zhitu's proud expression instantly cracked, and he coughed embarrassedly before he said: "Cooking, it's that the food I make is particularly fragrant, cough~ The meals made with my ability are safe, non-toxic and natural, really." ”
"I believe, okay, I see, you don't have to answer the fifth question." With Hashan's unique ability, Ma Zhitu's is normal, no matter how he cooks, at least he is still human.
Since the Su people died of a violent illness overnight, and the only one left also encountered an accident outside, Gu Yu's fifth question was answered.
