"Anyway, as I said today, as long as I live, as long as I can find food for you, regardless of weeds or bark, or other more disgusting things." The man continued to growl: "I will not allow You eat this! Unless I die!"
After saying this, the man picked up the saber on the ground, said "goodbye" to Liu Chang, and led his wife and children away from this place, continuing to look for their food.
And after he left, Liu Chang also thought a lot because of what this man said.
This man is just an ordinary person. In the territory of Zhengzhou, such people are everywhere. They are so ordinary that they cannot be more ordinary. But they all have their own wisdom, they don't have systematic knowledge, and they don't have the extraordinary analysis and scientific research ability like Li Qingshui and Zhao Zhuo. But I can think of the old way, the old way, to survive in the cracks of the end of the world.
Human beings are far less great than they imagined, and they are not as fragile as they imagined.
In fact, if the most ordinary people are given a period of time to adapt and survive the first wave of bacterial invasion and maladaptive crisis, most of them can actually survive.
Of course, this is under the premise that no one provides them with "food".
If the food synthesized by Zhao Zhuoxin is really as terrible as Li Qingshui said, then after tens or hundreds of years, those people who have eaten the food may all be extinct because of it.
Liu Chang knows that although the Chinese are never lacking in wisdom, they always seem to be lacking in integrity and blood, and like to follow the crowd. There must not be many people in the crowd who are willing to stick to their own ideas like that middle-aged man. When the first batch of crops comes down, he believes that most people will eat them, and Zhao Zhuo is likely to get the kind of food he wants. The "absolute control" and the incomparable "honor".
As for what purpose he has after mastering these contacts and resources, Liu Chang is not sure.
After figuring out these details, Liu Chang felt the terror of that young man even more. With radical thinking and daring to act, he can definitely be called a generation of heroes. But it's a pity that it seems that his heart is too vicious. Although he has the courage of "although the people of the world will go", he has the determination to "kill the world".
"Didn't this person think about the consequences of doing this?" Liu Chang had doubts in his heart, "Is there any other purpose?"
After thinking about it, he still didn't come up with a reason, so he simply put the matter aside. There are some things that he can't figure out, and some things, even if he can figure it out, there is nothing he can do about it.
What Liu Chang can and must do now is to protect himself.
So although he had a lot of doubts in his mind, he still picked up the bug in his hand and looked at the land full of plants under his feet - looking for food.
Since the end of the day, plants have grown the most rapidly, and it is estimated that they have spread all over the world by this time. All kinds of novel plants protruded from the ground, and many of them mutated into shapes that scientists could not recognize. Therefore, human food is not in short supply, but has become mixed. It is difficult for most people to identify what can be eaten and what can't be eaten.
With the little bug in his hand, Liu Chang's process of identifying the plants on the ground was much easier.
After walking in the afternoon, he found seven or eight kinds of edible plants. And every time he found one, he immediately collected the seedlings, seeds and fruits of this plant, and wrapped them in a piece of cloth.
When the sky gradually darkened, he took this bag of things, returned to the research institute, and found Li Qingshui.
"Here, I found a total of seven or eight kinds of edible plants today, but I don't know which one can be planted on a large scale." Liu Chang put the cloth bag in his hand on Li Qingshui's experimental bench.
"Seven or eight kinds?" Li Qingshui looked surprised when he saw Liu Chang's wrapped things, "You are really good!"
"It's amazing, it's all because it helped to try it." Liu Chang also put the worms on Li Qingshui's table, and then told him everything that happened today.
"Well, it's really a good way. Brainstorming, the accumulation of common people's wisdom is unmatched by any scientist." After hearing Liu Chang's words, Li Qingshui couldn't help sighing: "Humans are social animals after all, relying on group wisdom For the surviving species, the wisdom of ordinary people cannot be ignored. I will start trying to plant these new plants tomorrow, and if possible, I hope to save more people.”
"Yeah." Liu Chang looked at Li Qingshui's calm face, and said with a smile: "To be honest, although you usually look cold, you are actually a kind-hearted guy."
As Liu Chang was talking, he thought of the scene where the two of them met fists at the edge of the forest and went back to find Fatty together.
Then he turned and walked out of the laboratory: "This is also the biggest difference between you and Zhao Zhuo."
"You can continue to study things here, and I won't bother you." After saying this, Liu Chang left the room.
After leaving the laboratory and the experimental area, Liu Chang returned to the room belonging to Li Qingshui in the dormitory building, and found Xiao Jing who had been anxiously waiting for him all day in the room.
"I'm back." Opening the door, Liu Chang saw Xiao Jing standing by the door for the first time. Knowing that she was far away, he felt his breath of life, so he guarded the door, and then smiled warmly in his heart: "Wait in a hurry?"
"Well, I'm in a hurry." The little girl nodded, and then grabbed Liu Chang's clothes.
"Then let's play today, I'm in a pretty good mood."
"Yeah." The little girl nodded again.
After Liu Chang finished speaking, he also looked around the room, but found that there was nothing to play here except the bed and the computer. He lost the TV and the Internet, and lost the space to go out. The two of them in the room did not know. playing what.
After much deliberation, Liu Chang simply took a knife and cut a small piece of wood from the table leg, carved a sieve himself, and then drew a flying chess on the table with a pen and paper. After the chessboard was finished, he smiled "haha" and led the little girl in the dense fog outside. In the midst of danger, he stole a moment of leisure in such a doomsday, enjoying the fun of childhood.
An eighteen-year-old boy and a twelve-year-old girl, the two had a great time, and this was their only entertainment since the end of the day. The little girl smiled sweetly, showing off the scars on her face. And Liu Chang also had a great time. While playing chess, he thought of many entertainments he had played when he was a child, such as glass balls, water margin cards and square corners. Thinking about it, Liu Chang seemed to feel that his soul was out of his body and returned to that peaceful place. Peaceful times.
But since the end of the day, these things have actually been far away from him.
More than a month after the end of the world, Liu Chang experienced countless ups and downs and twists and turns. He also matured a lot in the process of falling and getting up, and became a lot more vicious. Similarly, he also lost a lot of happiness.
So, they played this little flying chess for a long time, until Li Qingshui also came back from the laboratory, until Li Qingshui joined in.
In the end, the three people of different ages just played on a broken chessboard until late at night. They didn't lie on their beds until they were too tired to keep their eyes open. And because of this broken chessboard, the three of them also relaxed their tense nerves for a long time, and fell asleep with relaxed smiles.
But in Doomsday, leisure is never the main theme.
Upon waking up the next day, everyone was back to nervous normalcy.
In the next two days, Liu Chang was still wandering around the city of Zhengzhou with a small bug, while Li Qingshui also silently tried to plant the plant seeds he kept bringing over.
In three days, Liu Chang brought back a total of 27 planting species, and Li Qingshui successfully planted 18 of them, and confirmed that three of them had the possibility of large-scale planting. In the past three days, besides the twenty kinds of plants, Liu Chang also found a small white insect.
The translucent white crystal insects look like round rice grains. They are not aggressive at all, but their reproductive ability and survivability are amazing. They can eat anything and be digested by them. In Li Qingshui's words, it is "a kind of survival competition that relies on strong reproductive ability and adaptability as the main means of survival. insects".
After these strange insects were brought back by Liu Chang, through Li Qingshui's experiments, it was found that their protein content is very high, and because of their "strong survivability, everything can be digested by them", they are also very convenient to breed. After coming to this argument, Li Qingshui asked Liu Chang to collect some seed insects, and opened up a field specially for them to raise them.
Therefore, in the past three days, Liu Chang and Li Qingshui have initially solved the food crisis.
And similarly, during these three days, people throughout Zhengzhou City also received the good news of "solving the food crisis".
Zhao Zhuo's Liangdou experimental field finally gave birth.
Large quantities of Liangdou were distributed to the military and civilians. This kind of food is extremely nutritious. A person only needs to eat more than 100 grams a day to meet the basic needs of the body, and 300 grams can meet the needs of an adult. all human nutritional needs.
Therefore, this new type of crop is also accepted and respected by most people. Solving the food crisis for all, this practice of shedding light on the dawn in the apocalypse will naturally arouse people's strong affection and gratitude.
Therefore, under the covert help of the top military officials, a vigorous god-making movement started again.
At the New Food Discussion Commendation Conference—
Sitting under the podium, Li Qingshui was sitting in the last row, listening to the high-level leaders of the former provincial and municipal governments above the podium speaking forcefully with their usual official tone, but his brows were deeply furrowed.
"... We want to commend Comrade Zhao Zhuo for his outstanding contributions in the new field of science... the great lofty spirit of being willing to do things, doing things practically, and serving the people... the new generation who are not afraid of hardships or tiredness... learn from..."
"These stereotyped speeches are really boring, aren't they?" Sitting next to Li Qingshui, Zhao Zhuo always wore his kind smile.
"It's very boring. But our China has always been a good player in the field of creating national heroes. These things seem boring and lackluster, but you should know the role of them better than me. Otherwise, you wouldn't secretly plan this series Don't you?" Li Qingshui frowned and looked at the person next to him who was about the same age as him, "And, having said that, as a meritorious person who has been commended, shouldn't you sit in the first row to receive the medal? ?”
"Yes, but I prefer to sit with smart people." Zhao Zhuo also turned his head to look at Li Qingshui, "I heard people say that you are also doing food research now?"
