Luo Yuan took a look at Wang Xiaguang and saw that he was fine, then picked up his war saber and walked out of the room.
There were five people who came, all quite old. The oldest was sixty or seventy years old, and the youngest was thirty or forty years old. Compared with ordinary people, they looked mature and steady. Seeing Luo Yuan coming out, although there was still some uneasiness in his eyes, he was still quite calm.
They didn't want to come originally. No one wanted to face this murderous figure, but they were forced to come here. When they dealt with Wang Xiuguang's family, they voted in favor, and now they have to pay the price.
"You and Wang Hongbiao are both from Donghu City, right?" one of the old men said, forcing a warm smile on his face.
Luo Yuan sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, are you here to die?"
The old man's expression did not change, but he was relieved in his heart. As long as he didn't use the knife as soon as he met, he was most afraid of being the kind of murderous lunatic who would kill without saying a word. He had a smile on his face, and a hint of respect in his expression. He carefully weighed his tone and said, "We hope that you will stop killing innocent people. There may be some misunderstandings!"
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Yuan snorted coldly. He glanced at the crowd and realized that these people should be investors in this base.
Although he had already guessed that there was something hidden in this, the truth surprised him next.
"There is indeed some misunderstanding!" The old man sighed, with a trace of lingering fear in his eyes: "Speaking of which, those of us are all friends with Wang Hongbiao. Some of us have met recently, some of us have been dealing with each other for a long time, and we even have some business contacts. We all know each other well, and the friendship may not be deep, but at least we can still be considered friends.
This small base has been planned for a long time, and I wanted to leave a retreat for myself. I thought I wouldn't use it for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be used soon.
After moving to the base, everything was normal at first, but gradually Wang Hongbiao showed strange changes. He became fond of eating raw meat. At first, he ate it secretly, and then he ate it in front of others. His appetite became bigger and bigger, and finally Eating more than ten kilograms of meat a day was not enough, and my mind began to become abnormal, a little crazy, and the way I looked at people changed. Only now that I think about it, I realized that this was the way I looked at food.
Although we were surprised, we didn't care. We have also heard the rumors about the Evolver. At that time, we thought he was crazy for wanting to become an Evolver. But after a while, someone disappeared in the base, and as time went by, more and more people disappeared.
The father of Shen Shaochong you just killed was one of them. So everyone felt worried and afraid of becoming the next one. Finally, we conducted a comprehensive investigation and installed cameras in every place. Finally one day we found him in the bathroom. There was blood everywhere and he was as crazy as a beast. Biting a corpse.
He became so powerful that even bullets had little effect on him. After his clothes were torn off by a dying man, we discovered that some parts of his body were covered with scales. Although he was killed in the end, But we also paid seven or eight lives here. "
He tells stories very well and eloquently.
When Luo Yuan heard that Wang Hongbiao's body had grown scales, his face changed slightly and he was a little confused. Could it be that evolution failed? But this thought flashed through his mind, and he said coldly: "Is this your explanation?"
The old man sighed and stopped talking.
Even if the old man didn't say it, Luo Yuan could guess that people with hatred would start to take revenge on the mother and daughter. Luo Yuan never dared to underestimate the darkness of human nature. He looked at this group of people, the knife in his hand tightened again and again, and murderous intent flashed through his heart from time to time.
Everyone held their breath, their faces turned pale, and they began to feel uneasy. Many people had quietly held the pistols hidden in their pockets, and several figures with guns appeared in the corner. They had obviously prepared for the worst. preparation,
"How did Wang Xiaguang's mother die?" Luo Yuan suddenly said after a moment of silence.
"Maybe after getting the news, he committed suicide that night before we could do anything!" The old man swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Wang Xiaguang..."
"We didn't touch it either. Shen Shaochong is arrogant and arrogant. He wanted her to surrender on her knees, but we didn't expect that she would be so stubborn and refused to give in even to death. Although we knew about this matter, we didn't expect that Shen Shaochong would He will do this." As a man, he naturally knew what Luo Yuan meant, and he said hurriedly.
The dead will not defend themselves no matter how much sewage they throw at them. Luo Yuan knew that there must be others involved. These people may not be as innocent as they said, but so what if they knew it, how about killing a few more people? Or kill everyone in this base
At least Wang Xiaguang is still alive now. As for her parents, he has never met her and has no feelings for them at all. He waved his hand and said tiredly: "Get out of here before I want to kill you now."
Everyone quickly dispersed and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that their backs were already soaked.
"Wait!" Luo Yuan suddenly said.
Everyone was shocked and almost ran away, but they still held it back. The old man turned around, suppressed his fear, and said respectfully: "Little brother, if you have anything, just say it, as long as we have it here, You can take it all, money, gold, diamonds, food, and supplies are no problem.”
Perhaps to ordinary people, these things have great appeal, but for Luo Yuan, who is about to leave East Lake City, they are of no great use except to add to the burden.
Luo Yuan did not plan to bring too much food even for this great migration. If all things were taken into account, the total amount of various supplies would not be enough for an off-road vehicle. And even in cities, the roads in most places are already impassable, so most things will have to be thrown away.
"I'm not interested in these. Is Wang Hongbiao's body still there?" Luo Yuan asked. The strange changes in Wang Hongbiao's body aroused Luo Yuan's great curiosity.
The old man hesitated for a moment, hesitating to speak, but after looking at everyone, there were still people who would say something even if he didn't say anything. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, yes, it's in the freezer in the laboratory."
"Laboratory?" Luo Yuan said.
Except for some rich people, many of the people who can live in this high-end community are the elites of East Lake City. Except for some well-known people who were sent to underground bases hosted by the government, there are also many people who were previously unknown but well-paid. Put it on the list and keep it. For example, some personnel in the experimental departments of enterprises.
"Take me to have a look." Luo Yuan said, ignoring the fear and uneasiness of these people.
It was empty inside, with very few laboratory equipment, mostly test tubes, chemicals, and basically no large equipment. Even a layman like Luo Yuan felt it was a bit too simple.
He knew in his heart that trade had been interrupted before the fall of Hedong City, and most supplies were subject to controls. This kind of research equipment could not be bought with more money.
The laboratory was empty until more than a minute after Luo Yuan came in, when a researcher in a white coat was pulled in timidly.
"Where is Wang Hongbiao's body?" one of them asked.
"It's... in the freezer, I... I'll take it out now." The white coat stammered, and he quickly walked to the freezer.
Luo Yuan noticed that it looked like there were many small labels on the freezer in the morgue, with the names of various mutant beasts and mutant bugs written on them. However, they were all low-level creatures, and with their abilities they could only get these things. .
The white coat pulled out one of the cabinets, pulled out a body wrapped in a plastic bag, and then opened the plastic bag.
The corpse inside had been dissected without any surprise. The chest was opened and the skull on the head was removed, revealing the gray-white brain with crisscrossed grooves inside. What caught Luo Yuan's attention the most was that his chest, thighs and arms were all covered with growth. Reptile-like scales. The sight of such cold scales growing on a human body made him feel a little scared.
He suddenly reached out and touched it, and a string of information appeared in his mind.
"Mutated human corpses;"
"Level: Level 1 mutant;"
"Weight: 68kg;"
"Evaluation: During evolution, under the influence of the genes of mutated organisms, his genes mutated and formed new genes!"
The white coat felt that Luo Yuan seemed to be interested in this corpse, and said cautiously: "We found that his body has undergone huge mutations, and his skin is very tough. An ordinary scalpel is useless at all. You must use a saw." Cut. The pores are blocked, the hair falls off, the nails become hard, and the inside of the body changes. The villi in the stomach become denser and twice as long as ordinary people. It is conceivable that his digestion speed is very fast. There are actually two hearts, one large and one small, inside the body, and the blood flow rate is 1.5 times that of ordinary people... "
Luo Yuan slowly retracted his palm. In a sense, mutants were no longer human beings. He was a little lucky that there was no accident when he evolved and turned into such a monster.
Luo Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Why are you studying these things?"
The face in the white coat froze and cold sweat gurgled: "We... are studying the mystery of human evolution. I think this form is the direction of human evolution."
Luo Yuan was noncommittal. In the past, this kind of experiment might be called evil, but now it is too normal. With the support of the righteousness of human survival, countless more bloody, more inhumane, and more evil experiments have been performed in various laboratories. Compared with those, it is really peaceful and drizzle here.
… …
Luo Yuan left the laboratory, finally picked up Wang Xiaguang, who was still sleeping, and left.
There is a comfortable life here, abundant supplies, and a large amount of clean drinking water. The food alone can feed more than a hundred people here for twenty years. Even he had the idea of staying here and not leaving, but finally gave up after thinking about it.
Luo Yuan had seen how quickly cement corroded due to the erosion of mutant plant roots. The villa outside was already crumbling in less than a month, and the cement floor turned into mud. Although the base's defense was strong, it would not be safe for long. Maybe in a year, maybe in less than half a year, this base will seep into water and collapse.
If you stay here you will eventually have to leave, but it will definitely be more dangerous then and now. Moreover, after being at ease for a long time, my will gradually wore away. At that time, I no longer had the mentality I have now.
Luo Yuan closed the iron cover, took one last look, and walked resolutely towards the distance with Wang Xiaguang in his arms.
He was careful along the way, avoiding powerful mutant beasts one after another. He almost caused a fight several times, but he was lucky enough to avoid it. Three hours later, he finally returned to the villa without any danger. Huang Jiahui was a little surprised to see Luo Yuan coming back with a woman in his arms. Before she could ask, Luo Yuan said: "This is my former colleague. This time with let's go together."
Cao Lin and the others looked at each other without speaking, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Is it the one you mentioned?" Huang Jiahui remembered it and glanced at Wang Xiuguang.
Luo Yuan nodded: "Go and clean up the empty room and cook some porridge. She has been hungry for several days!"
"Yes!" Huang Jiahui responded, sighed in her heart, turned around and left.
She secretly read Luo Yuan's text messages. Since the sudden change, there were only a few text messages from Luo Yuan, and most of them were sent by her. She naturally knew clearly what she thought about Luo Yuan. , it seems that another competitor has arrived, although Luo Yuan doesn't seem to be interested in her.
Wang Shishi pouted, looking unhappy, and felt a sense of crisis in his heart. His eyes kept turning around Wang Xiaguang. When Huang Jiahui tidied up the empty room, he saw Luo Yuan carrying Wang Xiaguang to the bed. After taking off her coat and covering her with the quilt carefully, she finally couldn't hide her thoughts and couldn't help asking: "Brother Luo, who are you?"
"Didn't I just say that this was a former colleague?" Luo Yuan said without looking back.
Master Wang pouted and said with a sour heart: "Colleagues don't mean anything! You must like her, otherwise how could you be so careful? You already like me, how can you like others."
Luo Yuan's feelings for Wang Xiuguang are somewhat complicated. He likes and is moved at the same time. It's hard to describe this feeling in words when a woman, especially a pretty good-looking woman, silently cares about you behind your back.
When he was working in a foreign trade company before the end of the world, he had a handsome appearance, a unique temperament, a reserved personality with implicit confidence, and he worked hard and diligently. It is easy to attract the attention of young women. When he first felt that Wang Xiaguang had a crush on him, he was also moved, but considering the gap between their family backgrounds, they began to deliberately distance themselves. He did not want to live a life of relying on others to judge their faces in the future, or encounter someone who dumped him. The embarrassment of writing a check.
But he didn't expect that the other party would be so persistent. Luo Yuan didn't know how to face this situation now.
He was a little confused and said, "Be careful if Jiahui hears it."
Master Wang opened his mouth and was speechless. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "If you hear it, just hear it. I'm not afraid."
