Hearing what Old A said, Du Yan had more doubts in his heart. He got up and touched the direction of the coffee table, wanting to take a good look at the severed hand.
When his hand was just stretched out, it was held by someone. Du Yan looked up and saw Shen Heng's disapproving expression.
"This mutant creature can be regarded as a small radiation source, it's better that you don't touch it." Shen Heng said.
With Old A around, Du Yan will definitely not argue with him about his special physique.
He nodded obediently, put his hand back, and said, "Then take it over and let me take a closer look, okay?"
As long as Du Yan speaks in this tone, he is afraid that the moon in the sky, Shen Heng, will try to get enough, let alone just take something.
Old A saw Du Yan sitting there, almost using Shen Heng as his own hand, instructing him to turn the paw over and over to study.
After reading it, Du Yan didn't say anything, and went back to the sofa, hugging a pillow and posing as a bystander who was listening carefully.
Shen Heng didn't expect Du Yan to see any clues. He knew Du Yan's temperament, and he only thought that the other party was curious. Seeing that he didn't look, he put the severed limb back on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Old A asked, "When you played against this thing just now, you didn't notice anything wrong."
Shen Heng shook his head. The time he fought against the mutant creature was very short. When the opponent found that he was lost, he immediately broke his hand to survive. In addition, the opponent was covered with black hairs like steel needles, and the speed was fast.
Even Shen Heng only saw a slight outline, thinking that it was a creature that was mutated by animals such as monkeys or orangutans after being irradiated.
It now appears that this is not the case at all. Because even the most human-like orangutan, the palm structure is fundamentally different from that of humans. The forelimb in front of me, the black hairs like steel needles, are completely human hands.
Shen Heng was a little worried. Could it be that after humans were irradiated, they began to mutate in another direction
Thinking of this, Old A also felt a little heavy. For a while, no one spoke in the hall, and the three fell into a strange silence around a severed hand.
Du Yan glanced at Shen Heng and knew that he was actually a person who had the world in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be alone in the movie, insisting on cleaning up all the city ruins.
He poked Shen Heng's back with his finger and asked, "I heard that when the radiation level of the infected person reaches the limit, a second mutation will occur, and then they will become irrational monsters. Is it like this?"
Shen Heng shook his head and said, "I've seen an infected person with a second mutation. It's not like this. After the second mutation, the muscles of the whole person will atrophy, and finally the bones will slowly dissolve. Can wait for death to come."
Old A said: "Yes, I've seen it all in this state. In the end, people are not like ghosts or ghosts. It's very miserable. Many people can't bear to directly understand themselves. I haven't seen them yet. I can think of this strange creature, which can still be agile and powerful after the second mutation."
Du Yan was very puzzled, tilted his head and asked, "That is to say, you have never seen this thing that is temporarily considered a human being. Then it is interesting, why does it appear in this place? You are here too. Not some big radiation source, nothing special…”
Hearing this, Shen Heng seemed inspired and looked directly at Old A: "Let's not talk about what this thing is. Did anything unusual happen before the attack started at night? It's not just limited to someone being injured. anything, including everything in the camp."
Old A frowned and tried to recall for a moment, before he spoke hesitantly: "Actually, there is nothing special. If I really want to say, the number of anti-radiation drugs in the warehouse has been reduced very quickly."
"Anti-radiation potion?" Shen Heng asked, "So the interval between you entrusting me to exchange potions this time is shorter than before?"
Old A nodded: "Yes. I will count the materials in the warehouse every month. When I checked the last time, I found that several boxes of anti-radiation medicines were missing. At that time, I wanted to do a thorough investigation, thinking it was some thief in the camp. The potion was stolen."
"Old Bao's attitude was quite strange at that time. He insisted that I remembered it wrong. Of course, I was not convinced. As a result, I took out the record and checked it. There is really a lot of things." If I want to go, I still think I should remember correctly.”
This really doesn't sound like a big deal, and it's no wonder that Old A never mentioned it before.
Du Yan suddenly asked a strange question. He asked, "Is Lao Bao's wife a pure person?"
Old A said, "Yes, he originally formed this tribe because he was united with the pure women. As a result, his ID card was taken back by the No. 2 homeland and he was expelled."
"Is his wife in the camp?" Du Yan asked again.
Old A shook his head: "Actually, Lao Bao's current wife is not the one he used to be. You know that infected people have a long life expectancy, and his first wife died of old age. Now this is his third wife, but it is also in the previous paragraph. Time is sick."
Du Yan suddenly smiled: "He is very persistent with the pure, and he has married so many wives perseveringly."
Old A sighed: "Old Bao, everything is fine, but he is too obsessed with the continuation of the bloodline. It's okay to say that you were so traditional and conservative before the war. In this situation, you are still so persistent, right? Are you asking for trouble?"
"It sounds like Lao Bao has made a lot of effort."
"Almost all of his energy is devoted to this matter." Old A spread his hands, "Old Bao is such an unrepentant person, all the resources he collected are replaced by high-purity anti-radiation drugs for use in several It's a pity that I didn't get a son and a half daughter."
"There are so many interesting things in the world, why are you embarrassing yourself so much?" After Du Yan listened, he made his conclusion.
After Du Yan learned the information he wanted to know, he leaned back. Shen Heng began to ask some details, and in the end, Old A couldn't remember anything, so he stopped.
After a busy job, it was getting late. Du Yan leaned lazily on the sofa, covered his mouth and secretly yawned.
It was only on his side that there was movement, and Shen Heng looked over and asked, "Sleepy?"
Du Yan nodded and said, "A little bit, I want to go to sleep first."
He originally just wanted to go back to his room to rest, but Shen Heng stood up directly: "For now, let's go here first. We will follow the bloodstains tomorrow and find the mutant creature's lair, and we should be able to solve these doubts."
The residence that Old A arranged for Shen Heng and Du Yan was on the second floor of this activity center, and considering Shen Heng's tall figure, he also arranged a room with a two-meter-two bed very intimately.
Shen Heng originally planned to rest on the sofa, but was dragged into bed by Du Yan arguing.
His reason is very strong and convincing: "Today you broke a hand of that unknown creature, what if it comes to retaliate at night?"
Shen Heng really didn't dare to sleep with Du Yan, because if they were too close, he wouldn't be able to sleep at all. He tried to refuse: "I'm just sitting on the sofa next to me, it's fine."
Du Yan curled his lips: "The speed of that thing is very fast, and you know that a pure person like me can't escape even when he is awake, and he may be bitten off his neck when he falls asleep. If you don't protect yourself, I'll be too scared to sleep."
Shen Heng had no choice but to compromise and rubbed Du Yan's hair: "You, every time there is a new reason."
The room was plunged into darkness, and Shen Heng was still staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. He didn't really need sleep. Now that the mutant creature was not caught, he naturally couldn't rest assured and fell asleep.
He listened to Du Yan's regular breathing, and suddenly felt a little relaxed in his heart. Just now, when he discovered that this mutant creature might be a human being, he was indeed a little worried.
However, now Shen Heng is thinking, even if the road ahead is dark, there is still good company by his side, which is enough.
"… "
Du Yan was already terribly sleepy, and then the mood of the person beside him was ups and downs. He was depressed and happy for a while, completely driving Du Yan's drowsiness out of the sky.
He felt that if he didn't interrupt again, he probably wouldn't want to sleep tonight: "Shen Heng, what do you think about today's incident?"
Now that Old A is not around, Shen Heng doesn't have too many concerns when he speaks, he directly expresses all his thoughts.
"I'm very worried that radiation will cause humans to mutate again, and after the mutation, they will turn into such terrible monsters. Today's fight with it also shows that this mutant creature has a certain intelligence. If you really think so, Things will be troublesome." Shen Heng sighed, "The mutant creatures with IQ are much more difficult to deal with than those mutant animals or insects that rely only on instinct."
"I can tell you very clearly that the mutant creature was definitely not caused by the secondary mutation of humans caused by radiation. As for the specific situation, it can only be determined after grasping it."
Although Du Yan didn't say the reason, his voice was very firm, which made Shen Heng feel at ease. He didn't think about it anymore, and just waited for tomorrow to try to capture the mutant creature.
However, in the early morning of the next day, Shen Heng's plan aborted and could not continue.
When they finished washing up and went downstairs to wait for Old A, they saw a person in the hall.
After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Shen Heng's footsteps stopped immediately, and Du Yan slammed his head into Shen Heng's back without noticing it.
He was hit by the muscles on Shen Heng's back and his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.
However, Shen Heng did not turn around, but made a move to protect Du Yan behind him, and the whole person looked extremely alert.
Du Yan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shen Heng replied, "That person is Lao Bao."
When he said this, Shen Heng's eyes didn't leave the bottom for a moment. Old Bao stood in the direction of the hall and seemed to be waiting for someone. He didn't notice the two people upstairs for a while.
Du Yan leaned over and squeezed Shen Heng's hand: "He should be waiting for Old A, let's see the situation first."
