"I don't know. They only need to train if they have good food and drink." Shen Ming spread his hands, "I don't know what the military thinks, but some researchers in the laboratory still can't get enough to eat. Well, they actually have three meals to eat. And there is no news about the new plants that can be planted at the research institute, the food is so scarce, and they have raised so many people, I don’t know what they want to do!”
"Maybe the military has its own plans." Liu Chang said, then turned his head to greet Xiao Jing who was sitting by the bed, "Come over and eat something, you lost a lot of blood a few days ago, it's time to replenish your nutrition."
"Yeah." Ji Jing stood up from the bed, went to Liu Chang's side and drank half a cup of the white compound, then obediently ate some plant leaves, and finally sat quietly beside him—no more talking.
In fact, since Ji Jing woke up this time and found out that the fat man was not there, she was a little silent, but she never asked Liu Chang about the whereabouts of the fat man, so Liu Chang didn't even have a chance to say what she had prepared.
But she didn't ask, and Liu Chang didn't take the initiative to mention it, so the atmosphere between the two of them was a little silent these two days.
Glancing at Ji Jing again, and finding that the other party still had no intention of speaking, Liu Chang drank the remaining half cup of the compound, then ate some leaves, patted Shen Mingyi on the shoulder and stood up.
"Go, take me to see that training room."
"Okay." Shen Mingyi also stood up from the sofa.
"Take me with you." Just as the two turned and opened the door to leave, Xiao Jing followed from behind.
"Go?" Liu Chang looked down at her.
"Go!" The little girl nodded.
"Then let's go." Habitually picking up her thin body, Liu Chang and Shen Ming left the dormitory together.
The two walked out of the accommodation area of the park, walked through a series of laboratories and buildings, and walked into an open venue. After seeing Shen Mingyi, the two soldiers guarding the venue showed a familiar expression, and they let the three of them into the venue without much questioning.
After entering the gymnasium, Liu Chang discovered that it occupies a very large area. Although there is no very high-tech equipment in the hall, there are all kinds of fitness equipment. If it weren't for the fact that the fitness equipment was specially modified and weighed extra heavy, there would be no big difference between this place and the ordinary gyms of the previous era, and there would be no super-technical sense of the "special fighter training base" he imagined.
This is just an ordinary large gym, and the arrival of Liu Chang and the three of them did not attract too much attention from those who were training their physical fitness. Each fighter was training seriously on his own.
"Xiao Jing, what is the life strength of these people?" Walking into the gym, Liu Chang asked the little girl in his arms habitually, and the little girl wanted to answer habitually, but this time she just opened her mouth But suddenly closed it vigilantly.
And Liu Chang suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Shen Mingyi next to him—the latter was staring at the two of them in a daze, his expression of concern was beyond words, and his simple and honest face was full of curiosity.
Seeing his expression, Liu Chang paused, remembering that when he entrusted Xiaojing to him, he seemed to have said something like "Take care of Xiaojing, don't give up, this little girl is very useful". But looking at it now, that seemingly simple and honest person has an extraordinarily delicate mind, he didn't even forget the ambiguous words, and now he actually probed into the secret of the two of them.
But fortunately, even though Liu Chang was habitually asking questions just now, he was also habitually talking in a voice that the two of them could hear. Although he was not worried about what Shen Mingyi heard, the feeling of being paid attention to secrets was not that great after all. good.
"What did you say just now?" Shen Ming suddenly stopped talking when he saw that the two were talking halfway, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Why do you have to say something behind my comrade's back?"
"It's nothing, girls always have some little secrets." Liu Chang responded with a smile, but his heart was already extremely vigilant. Although he has always had a good impression of this person in front of him, it doesn't mean that this person is a companion. Some things can't be done with anyone. Confidentially. Liu Chang found that in this institute, he could no longer ask Xiaojing about spiritual exploration as casually as he did in Kaifeng—after all, this place is too obtrusive.
When he came to the research institute, he really realized how rare brain mutants are. What's more, the research institute didn't seem to know the existence of mental brain mutants. Both Li Qingshui and Zhao Zhuo's mutation tended towards intelligence, but the little girl was completely different from them.
To a certain extent, the little girl is useless in scientific research, but in another aspect, her military value is no less than the other two. If the military can develop a biological radar based on the little girl's brain, it will be of immeasurable help to the military in this world of thick fog.
And it is precisely because Xiaojing's individual role is not great, but her research value is great, so she is different from Li Qingshui, she is an existence with extremely low value of attracting but extremely high value of anatomy.
So Liu Chang, who thought about the hurdles clearly, secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
Instead of talking to the little girl, Liu Chang and Shen Mingyi moved on to other topics. After Shen Mingyi stayed with him here for a while, he also left the "gym", leaving Liu Chang, who trained alone, to do his own job of taming animals.
And this day, passed by so plainly but with some undercurrents.
In the evening, when he returned to his room, Liu Chang, who was tired all day, ate some food sent by the military, washed up a bit, and then lay on the bed—he was physically exhausted all day, and he didn’t want to move or talk to disturb his reading all day and night. Li Qingshui could only lie down in such silence.
And the little girl was lying beside him silently, just like the previous two days.
However, unlike yesterday, she took the initiative to talk to Liu Chang today.
"Am I in some danger here?"
"Well, how should I put it, it's a little bit, but with Teacher Li and I here, it's fine." Hearing what the little girl said, Liu Chang was surprised by the sensitivity of her heart, and at the same time he comforted: "You don't have to be too nervous." Be afraid, as long as you don't expose your abilities, nothing will happen."
"Brother, do you think I will die?"
"Are you kidding, how could you die!" Liu Chang was startled when he heard the little girl's words, and wanted to comfort her but thought of the world he was in, obviously lacking in confidence, so he changed his mouth and said: "If I die, I will die before you! "
"But wouldn't it be more uncomfortable for me?" The little girl fiddled with Liu Chang's obviously extra finger bone necklace on his chest, and whispered, "Brother Liu Chang, can you promise me something?"
"Well, say."
"If I die, no matter what, I want to be with you. In this place..." The little girl pointed at Liu Chang's necklace, pressing her fingers firmly on his chest, "I hope there is a place for me too."
"Don't make such black jokes." Hearing her words, Liu Chang suddenly felt a little irritable. Suddenly, the fat man's face riddled with holes and the black jokes he had made with him before he died suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he turned around. body, with his back to the little girl.
"But… "
"Stop it, I don't agree."
long silence...
"The effect of your one-day training today is astonishing. Your life intensity has increased by 0.2 index, which is more than ten times faster than other people. I don't know why." After the silence, the little girl took the initiative to change the subject, "And the people in the gym today , with an average life strength of 7, with the exception of a person sitting in a corner."
"My physical strength is growing fast, just because the initial training effect is better, and then it will slow down. After all, the growth of human body strength is obvious in the early stage. After reaching the limit of potential, it becomes more and more difficult." Liu Chang listened The little girl turned around and said, "As for the exception you mentioned, what kind of exception is it?"
"It's a strange life intensity. In my perception, his life index is very unstable. Sometimes it can reach an ultra-high intensity in the twenties, and sometimes it's seven or eight. It's very unstable."
"Could it be that the military has already started the first batch of red mist purification experiments?" Li Qingshui, who had been looking at the computer on the other side, interrupted suddenly. We started talking. "Life fluctuations are unstable, and the difference between the peak and the bottom is three times. This is beyond the limit that the human body can bear. He is about to die."
"Could it be that modern people, including those with a high life index, still cannot withstand the injection of the red mist purifier?" Liu Chang turned to look at Li Qingshui.
"I don't know either. But since the military dared to ask someone to inject it, and it did it on the basis of knowing that the Russian experiment failed, it means that even if it doesn't work now, it is not far from success. Let's wait and see. After Li Qingshui finished speaking, he stopped talking, and entered the state of "stupid reading" again.
And Liu Chang also fell asleep after turning his head and telling the little girl to be careful not to expose her abilities here.
The next day, after dawn, Liu Chang woke up, Li Qingshui stayed up all night again, and it was still Shen Mingyi who delivered the food, but the food was much smaller than yesterday.
"That's all I can order today." Shen Ming put a cup of nutrients and a plate of plant leaves on the table, and sighed.
"We don't have enough food now, and some soldiers in the army can't hold back anymore. I think if this continues, there will be mutiny sooner or later!" After Shen Mingyi delivered the food, he said worriedly: "We people are still waiting for food." Well, some soldiers at the bottom are given a decent meal in three or two days, and the rest of the time they live by eating messy plants, and people are poisoned to death by inexplicable things every day, and the grassroots armed forces are already ready to move!"
"Has it reached this level?" Li Qingshui, who has been reading for a few days, heard this sentence and stood up from his chair suddenly, "If the human social system collapses, then even our last The advantages are gone, and if we change from the natural doomsday to the social doomsday, we will never have the possibility to compete with other species.”
After saying this, Li Qingshui opened the door of the dormitory.
"I'm going to the experimental group to see the food research situation, you are waiting here!"
After Li Qingshui said this, he walked out, and everyone waited silently.
Ten minutes later, he entered the door again. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were a little more relaxed: "The new food seedling has been cultivated, and it is the seed that Zhao Zhuo found."
"Is Zhao Zhuo that brain mutant?" Liu Chang had vaguely heard of this name.
"It's him, a very extraordinary person. I suspect that his brain variability index is higher than mine, but he hid his clumsiness during the test." Li Qingshui's eyes revealed a look of appreciation, "If it wasn't for his If his idea is too radical, I really want to cooperate with him, he is a very good person!"
