"Hmm..." Hearing Liu Chang's words, Li Qingshui was silent for a moment. Instead of arguing about He Zhizhi's life or death, he smiled: "You know the news that she is alive."
"Yeah." Liu Chang said: "Got it. We have lived together, and I don't want her to die like this."
"She can't die. On the contrary, if I didn't study her, she would have died by now. I said that her internal organs were shattered, but I didn't lie to you completely." Li Qingshui patted Liu Chang, "But anyway , since you want it now, I have no reason not to give it to you, tomorrow morning, at dawn, I will hand it over to you."
"Well, thank you very much." Liu Chang nodded, "May I ask why you insist on using He Zhizhi as an experiment?"
"There is no particular reason, and I have no friendship with her, and she was Zhao Zhuo's person before, so I don't have any psychological burden to use her as an experiment." Li Qingshui said calmly: "This is the first reason, and the second reason is There are too few mutated humans, especially those with mutated senses, there are only two or three in the entire military region, so I am more interested in her."
"After all, she has a mutation in the sense of smell, and the content of my recent research is also about the manifestation of recessive genes. I am thinking about the connection between her mutation in the sense of smell and the recessive genes in her body, so she is a very good person. The experimental subject." Li Qingshui said with a slightly low tone in his tone, "Besides, when I rescued her, she was already dying, and I have no confidence in whether she can survive, so I still ask you Don't blame me."
"After all, I know your relationship well. I have been using her for experiments, and I feel a little guilty towards you."
"There's nothing to feel guilty about, as long as you let him go." Liu Chang sighed, "You have your own thoughts, and I have mine. You can take care of my thoughts, and I am already very grateful to you."
"Thank you for understanding." Li Qingshui nodded.
"It's just that in the future, I don't want to live in the park anymore." Liu Chang smiled, "This is not the place I should be staying in. It's too depressing. I don't feel safe staying here. I want to live outside."
"Well, go out if you want to go out, just keep in touch. If you need help in the future, you are welcome to come to the research institute to find me at any time. I will provide you with weapons or food." Li Qingshui said Then, he patted Liu Chang again, "I hope this matter will not affect our relationship."
"Well, it's okay, I can understand you. He Zhizhi is not me, nor Xiaojing, nor your family. She can say that she has nothing to do with you, and you have no reason to take care of her." Liu Chang smiled wryly: "This is politics, and politics and emotion are not to be confused."
"How do you plan to live after you go out?" Avoiding the topic of politics, Li Qingshui took out a cigarette from his white coat, lit it for Liu Chang, and put it near his mouth.
Picking up the cigarette Li Qingshui handed over, Liu Chang took a puff and said, "I don't know, just mess around. I'll inject your almighty potion later, and then I'll go out to eat and drink. With my ability, You shouldn’t be starving to death outside.”
"Well, I believe this. After all, you can live well in Kaifeng, let alone here." Li Qingshui said with a smile: "But you should pay attention to the potion. The effect is long-lasting , It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a long process to change genes independently, which I just learned recently. For example, if you want to have a strong sense of smell, you have to grow correspondingly more olfactory cells. In other words, even if the recessive things in your genes are revealed, your body will have to make corresponding changes in order to have this extra function. Fish without gills cannot survive underwater."
"This is the result of my research these days. The period of action of that medicine is a lifetime, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"Understood." Liu Chang nodded, "After we leave, you also take care of yourself."
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm here, no one dares to touch me except that source of anxiety, or no one can touch me." Li Qingshui mentioned himself, showing a helpless smile, "Recently I can always feel That anxiety, I was stared at by it, and it has been hovering around here for the past few days."
"What is it?"
"I don't know, it should be a living body, a very powerful living body, and he seems to be very interested in what I'm researching, which means that life has already possessed wisdom." Li Qingshui smiled: "So he always They were watching me from afar, but they didn't attack rashly."
"Are you in no danger?" Liu Chang asked with concern when he heard this.
"No, he is very cautious, and I have countermeasures, but he always looks at me from a distance, and seems to be very interested in my research, genetics." Li Qingshui laughed: "Then I will I was thinking, this thing should be studying how to reproduce offspring."
"Breeding?"
"Well, the probability of a super life form's strong mutation is very low, and the genetic change is also very large. It is extremely difficult to produce an individual. Therefore, it is impossible to have the same kind. In other words, he cannot find one that matches him. Individuals who give birth will have no offspring if they cannot find the same kind. If there are no offspring, they will not be able to reproduce. No matter how strong he is, he is just an individual—it is impossible to form any climate—except for the big willow tree of course.” Li Qingshui said with a smile: “So , That thing should be studying how to reproduce offspring. Judging from his behavioral characteristics, this is not the first time he has come into contact with humans."
"Then what should we do?" Liu Chang asked.
"No, he has very powerful hiding skills. I can't catch him. I can only draw the conclusion that he hasn't left from the uneasy pheromone." Li Qingshui said: "But you don't have to worry about me, first of all , if he is smart enough, he will not show up. Secondly, if he does show up, he will die, not me."
"That's good." Liu Chang nodded for the last time, "Since you're not in danger, I'll leave with peace of mind."
"Well, tomorrow morning, I will send the person to you safely. If there is any news from your relatives, I will also notify you."
"good."
"If there is nothing else, I'll leave." Li Qingshui took the half of the cigarette butt from Liu Chang's mouth, took a deep breath, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground.
And the next morning.
Li Qingshui also sent someone to bring over the female officer who lost half of her arm and lost a finger when the sun rose on time.
The officer seemed to be in good health, but his eyes were a little tired. When she saw Liu Chang for the first time, her eyes showed gratitude.
"Xiao Jing and I want to go, do you want to come together?" When receiving He Zhizhi, Liu Chang, who had already packed his bags, asked directly, holding the little girl and looking at her with a stiff expression.
"Well, let's go together." He Zhizhi nodded.
"Then let's go." Carrying a big package and hugging the little girl, Liu Chang walked out of the institute first.
And Officer He naturally followed in silence. The moment the three of them stepped out of the park, they all felt a lot of insights.
As soon as they stepped out of the park, they knew that in the last days, they had escaped from the vortex of the storm and could live in peace for a long time—of course, this peace was inner peace, and the battle between people came to an end However, the competition between man and nature will never stop, and nature will continue to give mankind one problem after another.
And the pace of global evolution will not stop for a moment because of anyone. The creatures in this world will continue to evolve and mutate at the speed of light. The complex and dense system of the food web will also become more and more Intertwined.
And whether human beings at the top of this net will eventually be pulled down, no one knows.
…
Four years later.
Zhengzhou city.
Inside the Smile Bar.
"Hey, waiter, isn't there a stripper show here?" A few drunks shook their glasses in their hands: "Go out to the forest during the day, and finally get a batch of new species, sell them to the research institute to make money, and at night Don't let us have a good time, what kind of broken bar is this?"
"Hehe, there are no performers in this bar." The people at the next table heard a few drunks yelling at them, and someone reminded: "This bar is just a place for pure drinking. There are not so many performers. You are from the outer area people."
"Well, it's the first time for some of us from the New Second District to drink here." A few mercenaries laughed and said, "I didn't expect there to be a bar on the back street. It should be that kind, but I didn’t expect that there are no farts here, no girls, no girls, not even a dancer.”
One of the mercenaries punched the tabletop with a punch, making a hole in a good log tabletop, and the glass on the wine table was also knocked off the ground by the huge force, smashing into pieces.
"You guys better not cause trouble. I heard that this bar has a great background." Seeing the mercenary getting angry, the people at the next table continued to "kindly" remind: "It is said that the owner of this bar has a deep relationship with the military area and seems to know him well. There used to be a black gang trying to swallow it up in the upper echelons, but the head of the gang leader was smashed to pieces the next day, and his body was thrown into the sewer. I think you better be careful. "
The people at the next table seemed to continue to remind them kindly, but their tone was semi-threatening, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were making trouble.
And sure enough, after hearing what they said, the people from the outer district at the next table became even more angry. One of them, who was the most drunk, immediately stood on a chair and yelled rhythmically to the music from the bar: "Fuck me, everyone says it's related these days, everyone says they're not afraid of death. How many are true?"
"I, Mo Sanpang, stand here today, let me see who dares to touch me?" The man laughed arrogantly, attracting the attention of the entire bar.
