Chapter 112: Jingyuan and Home (End of Volume 1)
In the days after that, Tang Xue recovered well.
Kyungwon told her about the treatment and showed her the ability to manipulate the microflora.
It was constantly windy and snowy outside, and the world seemed to be just the two of them, and when they were chatting, Kyungwon naturally told her what happened that night, and lifted her clothes to show her the scar on her stomach.
She leaned into Kyungwon's arms and didn't say anything, just hammered Kyungwon's chest with her pink fist, and then hugged him.
Kyungwon didn't see her crying, but felt the tears fall onto his shoulder.
Jing Yuan thought that if she was calculated according to the 14-day cycle of infection and symptoms, at least for 14 days, she would not have any major problems.
If she has a fever again, wash her blood again.
To be honest, Kyungwon really didn't want to do it again, that feeling drove him crazy, and he felt scared, because sometimes, he would actually taste it, and he would taste it like blood was running down his throat.
He became more and more aware of the difference between himself and humans, even if he wore decent and clean clothes, even if he ate rice, drank vegetable soup and coffee, and even if he looked like a human being, he realized that he had become a very different creature from humans.
He had been living in a way that was repressed by his own nature, and wanted to live in a way that he was familiar with.
At least for the moment, he didn't think there was anything bad about it.
On the fourth day, when the snow stopped, he went out alone, saying that he wanted to deal with the mutant cow and bring back useful things.
He also installed a flat bench on the back seat of the bicycle, which could carry people and straps goods.
He put on his travel bag and took his weapon, and before leaving, Tang Xue hugged Xiaobai, stood at the door and said to him, "Have a good trip", saying that she would cook at home and wait for him to come back, saying that she found a sheet music in the pile of miscellaneous books, and when he came back, she would play it for him.
Kyungwon hugged her, sent her back to her room, and rode out on her bike.
Even if the snowdrift is very thick, the bicycle tires will not get stuck in the snow because he has upgraded the tires with flora.
He isolates the microbiota from his body and wraps it around the tires to make them more in contact with the snow to support the weight of the bike.
It looked like changing two large tires on your bike.
If you want to take the microflora back into your body, it's very simple, you don't need him to contact it directly, so close to the distance, he can give an order through the air, so that the microflora will squirm back into his body.
He found that it takes a lot of physical strength to drive the bacteria to move, and it is good to keep them in a plastic state, but once he makes them move, he will soon feel hungry, and he must supplement meat to relieve his hunger, and it is not enough to eat vegetables and rice.
Therefore, he planned to cut all the beef from the mutant cow and transport it to the freezer.
A cow the size of an elephant, weighing at least a few tons, is a good way to replenish the protein he needs.
It's just that these meats look a little different from ordinary meats, and Tang Xue and Xiaobai can't eat them, so they can only be eaten by him.
However, an idea popped up in Kyungwon's head, assuming that he could control more flora, wouldn't he be able to absorb all the mold distributed in the beef?
It's like washing Tang Xue's blood, purifying these contaminated beef into clean beef that ordinary people can eat.
Even if he even opened his mind again, if the number of bacteria in his body could be increased to a certain extent, would he be able to purify the entire state and mountain city?
However, he couldn't imagine what kind of creature would have accomplished such a feat, and the thought of this possibility made him feel a little chill in his heart.
If all the mold gathers into the body of a living being, a will, what a terrible monster it will be, and the world will be razed to the ground without suspense, perhaps that is the ultimate goal of mutant evolution.
When his mind diverges, Kyungwon looks at the sky and thinks that one day a massive, Godzilla-like mold monster will appear there and destroy everything.
He wondered if the world's mutant mold would be the size of the moon if they gathered together.
What will be the fate of mankind in this world?
Kyungwon doesn't know the answer, he doesn't know what will happen in the future, and it's not easy to live his own life.
I remember that when he first came to this world, he would be happy for a long time to find a new pair of shoes, he would be excited to find a bottle of mineral water, and now he lives in a big villa.
There are dozens of sets of clothes to change into, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all of them are the best fit, and he has stocked up on more than a dozen pairs of shoes, ranging from cloth shoes and rain boots to spiked sneakers.
He has eight large water tanks and a freezer with nearly 1,000 catties of grain in reserve, and this freezer is about to welcome several tons of beef.
He had electricity, and he had a large study with shelves lined with all kinds of books he had found, and so far he had not been able to read a single percent of them, and he looked too tired from intellectual books, but he still liked to read magazines and comics.
He didn't want to contact the survivors on the other side of the city anymore, so it shouldn't be selfish, the people there had nothing to do with him in the first place, a group of people who had nothing to do with him, how to live, whether they lived or died, and what did it have to do with him?
He only needs to ensure that his home is always warm, and that he has food and drink in his home.
The future of mankind, the fate of the world, this kind of theme is too grand to be considered by a greater man.
Optimistically, he felt that on the other side of the ice sea, the probability of human civilization still existing was very high.
The activity of mutant molds at low temperatures is very low, and if it is near the pole where it is frozen all year round, people will probably be able to live normally.
As for the humans in the new country, whether they want to just cower in the snow-white world and never come out, or whether they have set up a laboratory to desperately study ways to fight mold and want to take back the world, that's their business.
While thinking about this, Kyungwon cramped and cut the skin and meat of the mutant cow.
The bull was frozen in the snow, and he made a fire around the cow to roast the ice.
Taking the sack out of his travel bag, he filled the bag of cut beef into the bag.
He brought a lot of sacks and straw ropes, and his travel bag only contained sacks and straw ropes, and he went out in the morning, and he was busy until the evening.
If he hadn't ingested the genes of the Ox and the Snake, he would never have been able to dispose of the Bull in one day.
In the farmhouse, there was only one skeleton of a cow left, and there was still a lot of shredded meat on it, and Kyungwon pulled out a piece of grilled steak from the side of the fire and ate a few bites while it was hot.
A total of 21 full sacks rested on the wall, tied with straw ropes, a sack can almost hold more than 100 kilograms of meat, the weight of this cow, plus the skeleton, is about three tons, really about the same as an elephant.
He put the cowhide, some beef tendon and two large horns in his travel bag, and tied a sack of beef to the back seat of his bicycle.
I can only transport so many things back this time, and the rest can only be slowly transported away tomorrow.
This winter is really cold and it's starting to snow again.
He went home with the snow, the lights were not turned on at home, but the fire was burned, he smelled the aroma of rice when he entered the door, Tang Xue wore an apron, and took a soup spoon to scoop the soup in front of the stove to taste it.
At this moment, he felt that he did have a home to return to in this desolate world.
Winter is not over yet, but he hopes that life can go on like this, just like that.
It's just that when he sits on the sofa and drinks soup and roasts the fire, he still looks out the window.
In those three sunny days, he originally planned to go to the city center to take a look, but Tang Xue had a fever, and he stayed next to Tang Xue and missed the sunny day.
I haven't been to see Xiao Yun'er for more than a month, and I hope that when we meet again, she won't be angry.
