Wu Chan did not disclose his speculation about the deformity factory to Gao Jie and others, firstly because he had no evidence, and secondly because he did not believe that these people could keep the secret. The refugees living at the bottom of the new city are too eager for the chance to turn their lives around, so the current situation is that workers regard physical mutation as a gift from God. Those who have mutated want to retain their brute strength, and those who have not mutated are waiting for mutation. .
If the workers were told at this time that the real cause of the mutation was not "luck" but waste pollution in the water, violent riots would surely occur. Ordinary workers can be suppressed by foremen, but mutant workers possess powerful brute force, which requires combatants to take action. The more intense the confrontation between the two sides, the more severe the strikes will be, and a slight lack of restraint will lead to death.
Ma Sang guessed Wu Chan's concerns: "But those workers will soon know that the change comes from the water source."
Wu Chan said: "Well, it is inevitable."
Gao Jie is not an idiot. At present, it seems that water can strengthen the human body, but whether this is a great achievement depends on the final result. In other words, Gao Jie will prohibit workers from collecting water on site until the side effects are determined.
But this order is tantamount to telling workers that the "gift" comes from the water source. Those workers who have not yet mutated must be thinking about it and looking for any opportunity to drink from the river secretly.
Even if all workers are controlled to stay in the camp, a new and more serious contradiction will be exposed as time goes by - insufficient water storage.
Without access to local water, workers had to drink water carried by combatants. The amount of water stored in each team's vehicle water tank is determined based on the number of mission days and the number of people. This team has no problem being self-sufficient, but all teams together cannot fill the gap as large as nearly a hundred workers.
If the combatants share the water, everyone will soon be out of water.
If water distribution is refused or only a small amount of water is provided, workers without water will inevitably protest. Gao Jie himself has no fighting ability, and what restrains the combatants' behavior is the interest contract signed between the combatants and the city hall. Normally, combatants listen to his orders, but when life and death are at stake, no one listens to him anymore. If workers dare to grab water, combatants dare to kill.
Ma Sang said: "I'm going to remind Chu Kuang emphatically that once a fight starts, he must not get on top."
Wu Chan said: "It's not even the worst situation in a fight. People can last for five to seven days without water, not to mention that we still have water on hand, and economical distribution can last until the support troops arrive. But we It is impossible to determine whether the mutated person will continue to mutate, and whether it is possible to mutate into a deformed body by then... "
Ma Mang blurted out: "If things really change, then we will have to deal with a super huge deformed body! The temporary camp is densely populated, which is simply the best raw material supply base. This is really terrible."
Wu Chan said: "That's not what I mean by badness. It's that as long as one worker has a tendency to develop a mutant form. By then, I estimate that Gao Jie will order all the workers to be killed, and someone will be happy to do it."
Wu Chan's tone was straightforward, but the assumptions in his words made Ma Sang feel more chilling and terrifying than the appearance of a super deformed body.
Ma Sang said: "I will never allow him to do that. Even if they drink the same water, it does not mean that all workers will mutate."
Wu Chan said: "This is the worst case scenario, I hope it won't happen."
As expected, Gao Jie issued the order.
One is to strictly monitor the laborers who already have brute strength, and the other is to prohibit everyone from continuing to drink the filtered river water. Some of the workers were clever and sneaked out of the camp and ran towards the river. They were caught by the combatants on the way and were beaten black and blue. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the combatants were deliberately negligent and allowed these people to sneak out of the camp in order to kill chickens and scare monkeys for a legitimate reason.
Gong Tiantian and others were arranged to guard different directions of the camp. Not only did everyone feel the atmosphere of the prison, but there was also a sign of an approaching storm.
Gong Tiantian sat on a piece of gravel, holding Bai Zhizhi in her arms.
In the never-ending dusk, ashes slowly fell from the sky piece by piece. From the top of the tall building in the distance, giant fungi shot out tentacles to hunt the flying birds. There are always splashing sounds in the surrounding grass, and I don't know what is hidden in it. As the wind swept by, those tall weeds turned their heads like soldiers being inspected by a general.
The beautiful girl yawned.
"This atmosphere is really boring and tense."
The little monkey in his arms agreed: "Zhizhi."
Gong Tiantian said: "Speaking of it, this is still your hometown."
Bai Zhizhi shook his head: "Zhizhizhi."
Gong Tiantian said: "Your hometown is not here, where is it?"
Bai Zhizhi gestured with his two little paws.
Gan Xiaoyi looked at it for a long time: "What does it say?"
Gong Tiantian said: "Bai Zhizhi said that its hometown is the furnace compressor."
Bai Zhizhi nodded: "Zhizhi."
Gan Xiaoyi said: "That's true. But why on earth can you communicate with it?"
Gong Tiantian said: "If you don't go around provoking your sisters, you can also communicate with Bai Zhizhi."
Gan Xiaoyi said: "What kind of logical relationship is this? It feels a bit unreasonable."
Gong Tiantian said: "You love to reason so much, please talk to Bai Zhizhi slowly."
The girl casually threw the little monkey into Gan Xiaoyi's arms.
Gan Xiaoyi and Bai Zhizhi stared with big eyes.
Gan Xiaoyi said: "You tell me."
Bai Zhizhi said: "Zhizhi."
Gan Xiaoyi scratched his head with his left hand: "Sure enough, I still don't understand."
Bai Zhizhi scratched the right side of his head: "Zhizhi."
Chu Kuang, who came from behind, picked up Bai Zhizhi from Gan Xiaoyi's arms.
"Are you studying monkey language?"
Gan Xiaoyi said: "Brother Chu, you don't have to guard the post anymore?"
Chu Kuang said: "The blood-seeking wolf people have come to change shifts. I guess someone will come to replace you soon."
He pinched the back of Bai Zhizhi's neck and swung it back and forth in front of his face like a pendulum. Bai Zhizhi stretched out his little foot and kicked on the bridge of Chu Kuang's nose. He used the strength to escape and rolled to the ground nimbly. Jumping back to Gong Tiantian's arms with both hands on the ground.
Chu Kuang said: "Why is this little monkey so unfriendly to me alone?"
Bai Zhizhi bared his teeth: "Zhizhizhi."
Gong Tiantian said: "This is probably because the chickens and dogs are restless."
Chu Kuang said: "Isn't Bai Zhizhi a monkey?"
Gong Tiantian said: "Just admit that you are a dog."
Chu Kuang: "..."
Gan Xiaoyi said: "Sister Tu, let me ask you something."
Tu Shuang, who was still laughing at Chu Kuang, said, "Just ask."
Gan Xiaoyi said: "When you came to this old city before, there were no abnormalities similar to now?"
Tu Shuang said: "After we left the old city of D1103 with your boss last time, our Iron War Horse came back to explore for treasure twice. Since we drank water from the on-board water tank, and we did not see any unusually large beasts, we Indeed, no abnormalities were found.”
Gong Tiantian said: "Then we are really lucky on this trip to the old city."
Chu Kuang said: "At such a young age, I only say sarcastic things."
Gong Tiantian said: "My defeated general, don't say anything."
Chu Kuang said: "When did I lose? Wait, it stinks!"
Gong Tiantian said angrily: "If you lose the argument, why don't you just attack me personally?"
Chu Kuang drew out his repeating crossbow and fired a magazine of steel nails directly to the right.
Judging from the sound of the collision, the steel nail hit the target and was not far away from everyone.
Chu Kuang shouted: "Come out!"
The grass was cleared.
A little old man who was shorter than a weed came out and looked very wretched.
He was so obscene that he didn't even have any clothes on.
Of course there is no need to wear clothes.
Because that's not a person at all!
But a evil one!
Five-cell level demon.
The Evil-Eating Monkey King!
