Chapter 81

"I see."

Liu Chang nodded, "then I'll go first. The more things drag on, the more trouble will be."

"Well, you go. "

after Li Qingshui nodded, Liu Chang left the laboratory with the little girl.

Back in the dormitory, equipped with a bow and crossbow, after checking the crossbow and the saber that will come in the army these two days, Liu Chang explained to the little girl, "wait here, I'll come back in the evening, I'll walk around in Zhengzhou City, you don't have to accompany me. If I still lead you outside, I will be doubted. There was nothing before, but now there are so many people in this laboratory who have the ability of abnormal analysis like Zhao Zhuo. I think if he knew the news, he would inevitably deduce something. Like Mr. Li, he can guess the whole thing by knowing a little bit of details. "

"But there are still dangers outside. Even in Zhengzhou, it's not always possible to guarantee 100% safety." The little girl still has some reluctant meaning in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be back before night, I promise you." Touching the little girl's head, Liu Chang said, "be obedient. If your information is exposed, we will be 100 times more dangerous than going out to inquire about plants. Therefore, even for the sake of brother's safety, you should be honest and stay here, do you know?"

"Well." Although the little girl nodded, there was still a little uneasy meaning in her eyes: "you have to promise me that you will come back before dark."

"Good." Liu Chang stretched out the thumb of his right hand, "to pull the hook."

"Well!" The little girl listened to this, immediately nodded, and then used the slender finger and Liu Chang's little finger to hook together.

After pacifying the little girl, Liu Chang left the room with a crossbow and a dagger pinned on his back.

Out of the door, Liu Chang into the thick fog, slowly out of the Science Park courtyard. The guards didn't embarrass him when he went out. The familiar faces of the Institute were generally known by these soldiers, so he came to the streets of Zhengzhou outside without hindrance.

Come to the world of ordinary people.

Inside the Institute is the superstructure of human beings. There are top talents in genetic science, military forces, weapons and leaders. In the outside world, there is nothing but ordinary people and the way to survive between life and death.

This is what Liu Chang is familiar with.

In fact, although he has been living in the institute these days, as an ordinary common people, he is out of tune with the breath inside. He can't understand the infighting between Li Qingshui and senior officials, and he can't participate in all kinds of scientific experiments. Besides "politics" and "science", he is just a common people. He belongs to the outside world, so although the outside world is dangerous, it also seems to be very kind to him.

When he came to the street outside, Liu Chang walked all the way and saw the wisdom of the common people, a small group of people spontaneously organized by human beings. These ordinary people formed various small groups with family as the core unit and the circle of friends as the external unit. People who have experienced the end of the world seem to understand that the power of a group is always stronger than that of an individual.

One such or that small groups walking in the street, and Liu Chang also aimlessly around in the street.

Although he vowed to go out with Li Qingshui to find food to grow, in fact, he did not have a clue. Even the poor biological knowledge in Liu Chang's brain made him unable to distinguish the species of plants and whether they could be eaten.

Therefore, he naturally found nothing in his morning wandering. He did not even find any food except to show him the ecology and all kinds of chaos of human beings at the bottom.

Until he met a man with an iron cage.

The man appeared to be in his fifties, with his wife and another child, with a kitchen knife and an iron bar - searching the ground for edible food, like other human groups.

Liu Chang saw this small group from afar, and didn't attract his attention at first. After all, this kind of small group is everywhere in Zhengzhou city. What really attracted his attention was the scene that the man was feeding the insects in the cage. He was holding a small cage in his hand. Every time he walked, he collected plants on the ground to feed the insect. His expression was focused. His family did not stop him from this strange move.

And his move also reminds Liu Chang of "insects that can find their own food..." When the word appeared in his mind, he was shocked and immediately kept up with the small team.

Liu Chang didn't think of a good way to ask questions all the way. On the way, he thought of several ways to talk to each other, but they were all rejected by him, and he chose the most straightforward and common way.

Slowly walked to the family within three meters, Liu Chang appeared in the figure, attracted their attention.

"Who!" Seeing someone in sight, the man and his children raised their arms at the same time. When the man who could see them was not acquaintances, the man yelled: "brother, I hope you don't go any further. We all know the rules since the end of the day. It's better not to walk within three meters of strangers outside. Besides, we don't have any food in our hands. What you want is the idea of robbing. I think it's better to forget. ""Don't be nervous." Seeing the family fully armed, Liu Chang raised his hand slightly, saying that he had no malice. He can understand the tension in the family, and since the morning he has seen a lot of tragic scenes of fighting between human groups. Without the restriction of law and police, the power of towering team can only maintain stability, but it is far from "public security". They can only maintain the normal operation of the social framework, but for the bottom of the human struggle, but has no control. Therefore, Liu Chang raised his hand to see that the other side did not intend to lay down his weapons. He simply raised his hands and made a posture without any intention to attack.

"I really don't mean it. I just came to ask you questions."

"Don't stand there and ask questions." The family saw Liu Chang's posture, but did not press too hard.

"Well, I want to ask you what the worm is in your hand?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen it before. It's a common insect after evolution."

"And what do you keep feeding it for?" Liu Chang's second question aroused a strong reaction from the family.

"Are you following us?" They looked nervous again.

"No, I happened to see it. So I won't ask in vain Liu Chang said, pulling out the saber that he brought out from the experimental park from his waist and said, "your weapons are all homemade, or they are home-made tools. There must be a lot of inconvenience in using them."

"The saber in my hand is made by a genuine ordnance factory. It's made of alloy steel and has a sharp edge. It's much better than your homemade weapons." Liu Chang raised his saber and pointed to the cage in the man's hand. "If you tell me what the bug does, I'll give you this knife. What do you think? --

"yes!" When the man saw the saber, his eyes brightened, and he agreed without thinking about it. "I'll give you all the worms. You throw the saber first. --

"well." Liu Chang has no nonsense. If he controls the absolute force, he will always control the initiative. If he doesn't want to use shameless means, he can snatch it openly. Therefore, he threw the saber and scabbard together and did not worry that the other side would not admit it.

"What a happy man." Seeing Liu Chang throwing his saber at his feet, the man relaxed. "There's nothing common about this insect. It's just a staple food found by our family by chance. Of course, meat is also eaten. It has a very good sense of smell and can tell whether plants can be eaten or not, so we caught one and asked it to help us test food toxins. It doesn't eat things that can't be eaten. It doesn't taste good. It doesn't eat much if it has mild toxins. And any plant that humans can eat, it can swallow. "

"So when I found out the characteristics of the insect, I didn't think so much about it, so I transplanted it. After all, the plants outside have changed. In the past, what can be eaten may not be able to be eaten, and the things that can't be eaten may become edible again. Besides, there are so many strange tree species besides those that have been seen before. Therefore, I think there is no shortage of food in the world, but most human beings dare not eat it, so I caught this insect

The man said and threw the iron cage against the ground to Liu Chang.

"If you want, I'll give it to you. There are a lot of them beside the water pipe in my house. It's not troublesome to catch them."

"Thank you very much." Picking up the insects from the ground, Liu Chang looked at the alien in the cage.

An ordinary insect looks like a longhorn beetle. There is nothing strange about it. It's just that the two antennae in front of the head are long. It looks like a sensitive looking insect.

Liu Chang got the worm and the family got the saber. The two groups were happy and wary. Just as they were preparing to separate their routes, a patrol of soldiers came into Liu Chang's sight.

Soldiers are a small group, the number is about a platoon, at the same time, there is a person in the front row holding an electronic loudspeaker in loud howling propaganda.

Attention, citizens. The government has announced good news that the Institute has developed a new type of food, which will be available to the public in three days. This new type of food can solve the problem of food and clothing for all of us, so please stabilize your mood and wait at ease. "

The leader of the group of soldiers, while shouting with the trumpet, handed out the leaflets to everyone he passed and saw.

And this pair of soldiers happened to pass by Liu Chang and the family, so both groups received the poor propaganda paper.

After taking over the leaflet, Liu Chang only glanced at it and knew most of the contents of the leaflet to publicize the "Liangdou" synthesized by "Zhao Zhuo". The leaflets boast that Liang Doudou is full of extravagance. All kinds of harmonious winds are just like the news broadcast in the 1970s, which makes people feel like a spring breeze at a glance. The happiness index has risen by dozens of percentage points in an instant.

"Can this kind of crop really grow? Then our good day will come. Don't worry about food. We can have a lot less trouble

The man's wife took over the leaflet with an excited expression on her face."Bah, what do you know! You can't eat it. I don't eat it. You and the kids can't either. " When the man saw the flyer, he grabbed it from his wife and tore it into pieces. "Fuck, who are you fooling with this genetically modified thing! You can't eat it

"I don't know what you are afraid of." The man's wife yelled at her dissatisfaction.

"What are you afraid of? In those years, we all survived, such as big head baby poison milk powder, gutter oil, melamine, Sudan Red duck eggs, waxed rice, poison capsules, dead baby capsules, shoe protein, Hainan mineral water. What are we afraid of in this genetically modified food? " The man also roared at his wife, "at most, our son can't give birth to a child like a mouse in Northeast China. What can we be afraid of?"
