Hearing Genava's words, Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, but said nothing.
She already remembered that one of Genava's core settings was:
Protect humanity and serve humanity.
Long Yuehong said subconsciously:
"They don't necessarily feed on humans..."
As he spoke, he fell silent.
At this time, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen passed under the naked corpses that were air-dried high in the cave, and came to the depths of what was already a mess.
Bai Chen swept around, but was not moved by the situation, but simply commented:
"A whole group of 'The Unintentional'."
This is the wording habit of the wanderers in the wilderness. They feel that using "tribe" and "tribe" to describe a small society composed of "unintentional people" is an insult to human beings, and they prefer to use "group" to refer to this situation. .
Jiang Baimian quickly recovered, frowned and said:
"Out of the dozens of 'Mindless', there are two 'Higher Unmindful' who have awakened their abilities. In terms of proportions, it is obvious that they are abnormal.
"It's inexplicable simply by using special cases and the probability of natural mutation, and there must be a certain reason behind it."
How rare "high-level unintentional people" are, it can only be seen from the fact that An Ruxiang and Wu Shoushi, their team of relic hunters, were not wary of similar things when they explored the ruins of Swamp No. 1.
"Unless this is left over from tens of thousands of 'unintentional people'." Bai Chen helped Jiang Baimian to fill the loophole in logic.
In places like the ruins of Marsh No. 1, in addition to the specialness brought by Xiaochong, the number of "unintentional people" is also enough to support the birth of several "high-level unintentional people".
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"We'll search here separately, examine the bodies, and see what clues we can find."
Long Yuehong picked up her mood and cooperated with Bai Chen to search every corner of the cave.
After a long time, Genova reported the preliminary autopsy results:
"There are no pinholes left on the bodies, and no signs of surgery."
This preliminarily ruled out the possibility that scientific experiments caused this group of "unintentional people" to be abnormal.
Because of the experiment, regular blood analysis and comparison are inevitable steps, and there is a high probability that some traces will remain.
In some cases, it is also a plan to judge the effect of the experiment through surgery.
Shang Jianyao squatted beside a corpse and pressed the back of his hand to his chin:
"Almost all of the bodies showed traces of radiation, including the development of lymphoma."
"You still understand this?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.
Shang Jianyao pointed to Genava:
"You can always trust Lao Ge."
Just now, Genova has communicated with him about this situation.
He forced it.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"It doesn't explain anything.
"A lot of the areas where the 'unintentional people' are active are places with serious pollution. Otherwise, they would have been completely eliminated by the regular army of the big forces."
"Not necessarily." The honest Shang Jianyao began to retort, "With so many wilderness wanderer settlements, don't those big forces also have no control? They have limited manpower, and there are too many places suitable for hiding."
"But most of those settlements for homeless people in the wilderness are in relatively harsh environments, where people can barely survive. They are relatively suitable for farming, and the water resources are not polluted. They are all occupied by major forces." Long Yue Hong Gang Bai Chen replied.
Jiang Baimian clapped his hands and said:
"Alright, alright, continue the search."
Seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Baimian squatted beside a mutilated corpse, touched the metal decoration of his blue denim trousers, and said to himself:
"It's very magnetic..."
"Is this the trend of the old world?" Shang Jianyao leaned over with a curious look on his face, "People of different genders wear pants with different magnetic poles. Once men and women get close to a certain level, they will be directly attracted to each other, so if there is no Good impression, please keep enough distance?"
What kind of thinking... Jiang Baimian admitted that he couldn't keep up with the idea of feeding.
Fortunately, she didn't need to think about how to respond to this guy, the "sight-and-sighted" Genova said:
"I also found this problem.
"The metal decorations on the clothes and trousers of several corpses were magnetized."
Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up and said:
"Is this because they were wearing the original clothes, and the rest of the 'Mindless' were replaced by those of the wilderness wanderers?"
So, one is magnetic and one is not.
Jiang Baimian's guess was soon confirmed, because Long Yuehong and Bai Chen found clubs, daggers, kitchen knives, iron bars and other items near another exit of the cave.
Among these, as long as it is metal, there is more or less the phenomenon of being magnetized.
Accordingly, Jiang Baimian gave his own guess:
"This 'mindless' group should have come from a heavily polluted place, where there is a strong magnetic field for some reason.
"However, it is currently impossible to tell whether they originally settled there or passed by during their migration."
"The number of 'advanced unintentional people' among them is obviously higher than that due to the strong magnetic field?" Long Yuehong is more concerned about this issue.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"You can try it.
"Maybe it will be successful?"
I'm not stupid... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.
The more excited the businessman Thermaltake said:
"If it really works, you can find someone else to see if the ability to awaken can be inherited..."
Uh... Long Yuehong hesitated.
"Huh." Jiang Baimian interrupted Shang Jianyao's imagination, "The Awakened has been around for so many years. If it can be inherited, do you think the company will let you, let me, and stay single?"
"Maybe it just lacks a suitable match." Shang Jianyao tried to insist.
Jiang Baimian ignored him, looked around and said:
"We are now going to other nearby wilderness wanderer settlements to find out where there are more polluted and magnetically disordered areas around.
"Well, the corpses here are buried. Bury it a little deeper. Take all the valuables away. Don't waste them. You can trade them later."
…
In a wilderness homeless settlement located in the ruins of a city, several members of the "Old Tune Group" met the leader known as the elder.
- This settlement relies on the sewer system of the original city, and has developed a society of nearly 300 people.
Their main food is edible moss and mushrooms, and the environment in sewers and the hideouts of urban ruins is only suitable for these plants.
Therefore, as soon as Shang Jianyao saw the elder, his first question was:
"Is it tasty
"Are mushrooms and moss delicious?"
The elder was in his forties, with a messy brown beard, and his eyes seemed a little short-sighted.
He smiled proudly and said:
"These have been screened for generations, and the taste is definitely not an issue."
After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that the "old tune group" would miss him. He pulled the blue sackcloth clothes and added:
"It's the yield that's a problem. We've grown it in so many places, but it's still not enough to eat."
Frankly speaking, if these outsiders hadn't found the door directly and showed great strength, he would definitely not have received them.
Jiang Baimian asked with great interest:
"Mr. Dawson, normal mushrooms and moss shouldn't be grown like this, right?"
Dawson rubbed his hands unconsciously:
"There used to be a research institute here, specializing in improving mushrooms and moss. We found the information they left behind and experimented for a long time.
"I'm still working on that right now."
Slap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded and said:
"Great, can we exchange canned meat for your mushrooms and moss later?"
Dawson was stunned for a moment, and said happily:
"it is good."
Long Yuehong was suddenly a little scared:
"Besides mushrooms and moss, what do you usually eat?"
He originally wanted to ask if something bad would happen if he ate too much mushrooms and moss, but he thought that the other party would definitely not answer truthfully, so he gave up the idea and planned to have Genova quantitatively test for toxicity later.
Dawson replied indifferently:
"We also organise outings, mushrooms and moss attract rats."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rusted pipes outside and asked tentatively:
"Mr. Dawson, is there a place with heavy pollution and a very disordered magnetic field in the surrounding area?"
Dawson asked suspiciously:
"What is a magnetic field?"
"..." Jiang Baimian quickly adjusted, "it's where the metal you carry will become heavier..."
Dawson recalled:
"There is no such place nearby."
In the disappointment of Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others, Dawson changed his words:
"But we used to have a hunting party that went further to the west where it was the situation you described..."
You're gasping for breath... Long Yuehong couldn't help but muttered.
Dawson continued:
"But I advise you not to go there. It will be very uncomfortable to stay there for a long time. There is a very powerful band of robbers nearby. They are called 'Zorro' and have dozens of artillery pieces!"
