Chapter 250: 250
"Alas . " In the face of this situation, the owner of the barber shop had no way to go . He sighed heavily . He took up the iron spear and steel gun and walked into the world of gray, red and white .
Beijing is calm . Beijing is grumpy .
Five days later, the temperature here has cooled faster than predicted on the 7th . The sky is getting darker and darker, and the temperature is getting lower and lower . After five days, the temperature here has reached minus 20 degrees, and at night it has reached below - 30 degrees . There is no power supply and no coal . If human beings were not stronger in earlier years, they would have been It’s frozen to death .
But even so, the situation is still not optimistic .
The barber shop owner took off his coat and wrapped it around his three-year-old son .
"No, I have to add some wood to the fire . It can’t burn . The child’s body keeps burning . I think it’s a fever . " The boss looked at his son . He didn’t know whether it was because he was frozen or because he didn’t sleep well for days . He had a layer of dry skin, which looked very unhealthy .
"It’s more than 30 degrees below zero . It’s useless to add firewood . " Next to the owner of the barber shop, the boss carefully splits the furniture with a small military ax, and then fills the furniture legs into the bonfire in the middle of the bedroom . Unfortunately, the wood of these furniture has been eroded by the heavy snow, and has been filled into the fire for a long time . As soon as it is filled into the fire, a large amount of smoke is emitted along with the sound of "crackling and crackling" .
"I don’t know if the child can survive this situation . " The barber shop owner had a husky voice . After wrapping the child, he put it beside the firewood which choked with smoke, and his eyes were anxious .
And one side of the wood cutting woman, the face is also anxious, and it seems that there is no place to vent anxiety, so the men are counted .
"At that time, I said that I would not allow the birth of this child, but you would rather have one . Did you have a good day with us after giving birth to the child?" While chopping wood, the woman kept her mouth, and her eyes were full of tears . "It’s not easy to run from Langfang to Beijing every day? And then it was not easy to get a foothold in Beijing, but also to see the face of those gangsters . All the things planted were taken away . They were bullied by animals outside and bullied by others when they came back . When the children were still young, there was not enough breast milk and even milk powder could not be found . He was asked to eat those coarse grains early on . . . "
"Sorry, it’s my fault . " The man sighed and did not refute .
"What’s the use of your fault, your fault, your fault?" The man’s attitude did not make the woman’s mood better . Instead, her fist like words seemed to hit the cotton cover . Therefore, her anger was even greater . "At that time, you were not allowed to live, but you wanted to be . From the day the child was born, it is doomed to the end of today . From the birth of hell, this child today to the present situation, it is all your fault! "
"Alas The man was speechless, sighed heavily, and was silent for a moment . He rose from the ground .
"You take good care of your children at home . The antipyretic drugs have been taken, but they haven’t improved . I think it’s because of hunger . " With these words, he carried his weapon and walked out the door again .
It’s a world of ice and snow outside .
Inside is a world of resentment .
The woman watched the man go out and opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw a feverish child, her open mouth didn’t spit out any notes .
Then . Time was slow and the sky was getting brighter .
The night passed - the man didn’t come back .
Another day passed - the man still didn’t come back .
The third day of the woman, has no expectations, in the temperature suddenly dropped to - 40 degrees, holding the baby in her arms, into a cold long sleep .
The only thing she regretted before she died was why she didn’t let her family die together .
Research Institute .
Seventeen looked at the sky outside, frowned and asked Wang Pengfei .
"Are there many disturbances recently?" Of course, the seventeen refers to the citizens who are unable to survive .
"I thought it would be a lot, but in fact it’s not too much . " Wang Pengfei’s face showed a surprised expression, "a lot of people were frozen to death and starved to death, but they didn’t come to look for trouble . This makes me very puzzled . It seems to be a bit contrary to the situation in Zhengzhou at that time . "
"It’s not the opposite . It’s the people who can live here who know more about things . " "As I said before, there are only three kinds of people who can settle down in the inner city of Beijing - people who are related, intelligent and lucky," he explained
"Apart from the lucky few, people who have connections know that neither the government nor the Institute can do anything about this situation . And smart people don’t have to worry about it . They can think of it . As for those who are lucky enough to live to this day, after all, they are still in the minority . " Seventeen sighed, "so these talents didn’t come to make trouble, but the more they were, the more worried I was . "
"Mr . seventeen, you don’t have to do this . It’s a matter of God . Even if you or Mr . Li come in person, you can’t do anything about it . " Wang Pengfei tried to comfort the 17th, but found that it had no effect at all . People who think a lot are always easy to worry . Seventeen is no exception, Li Qingshui is no exception, and all intelligent people are no exception .
So, there is a depressing atmosphere in the current research institute, which is as depressing and depressing as the grey and red weather in the independent research area, as well as in the main research area . All people don’t want to see human beings freeze to death day by day, but they are not God even if they are smart in time . Sunshine and heat are not things that come out when someone says "I want light" .
"Is there any death statistics of Beijing’s civilians?" On the 17th, he didn’t look back, because the familiar brain regions behind him let him know who was after him .
"The statistics are incomplete, but in just a few days, the death toll of Beijing residents has reached 23% . Although the number is slowing down and people gradually find their own way to survive, as the temperature continues to drop, the growth of this number will not stop . " The boss went to the 17th, looked at him and said with a smile: "but these days, we are rare to have a good news . "
"Liu Chang wakes up?" No . 17 looked at the boss’s expression and was surprised .
"No, but it should be fast, much earlier than Liu Xinmin’s prediction of 17 days . " The eldest brother spoke, took No . 17 by the hand, and took him to Liu Chang’s laboratory, where the largest natural scale was the flowing body and the test bed under him . Liu Changan lies quietly beside Liu’s huge body, which is nearly six meters high .
In the solution of crystal vessels, Liu Chang’s body looks particularly disgusting at this time .
Yes, it’s not too much to describe it as disgusting . His body was originally in the state of scales before he died . After being torn into two pieces, the amputated limb was soaked in liquid medicine, which was a bit like a corpse equipment . At the moment, the joint of the severed limbs of the corpse equipment, which should have been the intersection of blood and white meat, is not so peaceful . The places where the blood and flesh are broken are constantly wriggling as if they were alive . It seems that the flesh and blood have already had their own consciousness, and they are carrying out automatic repair .
Next to Liu Chang’s crystal bed, there are three clones with their eyes closed to induce Liu Chang’s subconsciousness .
"See, the coelenterates have evolved . " No . 1 excitedly pointed to Liu Chang’s amputated limb and said happily: "evolved this, it’s just around the corner from his recovery . These wriggling flesh is so spiritual . If it wasn’t for his internal organs, I think that if the two amputated limbs were connected together, they would be able to recover immediately! "
"Yes, it’s amazing . " No . 17 approached the crystal bed and looked at the broken limb inside . He was happy for a while, and then frowned, "but what can I do even if I wake up? When things get to this point, do you really think he can save the whole human race as Li Qingshui predicted before? "
"Well, it’s impossible . " On hearing this, No . 1 sighed, "but anyway, it’s a good thing . It’s one of the few good things that have happened recently . "
"Do you know what Liu Xinmin is doing recently?" On the 17th, when he heard the boss’s words, he didn’t answer . Instead, he asked about other topics .
"I don’t know . It seems to be studying reproduction and other issues . " Said the boss .
"Reproduction?" No . 17 looked at Liu Chang, then looked at the stream, "which side does he want to study?"
"On both sides . " While they were talking, Liu Xinmin’s tall body came in from the door of the laboratory . "After I heard that the sea people were ovoid, I was wondering if we could make these two guys have super reproductive capacity, but the result was extremely difficult . "
"Let alone the difficulty of flow . His evolutionary direction is extremely strange . His body has no gender, and asexual reproduction is not suitable for higher animals . " Liu Xinmin said here, showing a puzzled expression, "but why can’t Liu Chang use another way of reproduction, I can’t think of it . Has he not returned to a very high level of ancestry? Has his body already possessed many other animal characteristics? If he can’t breed on a large scale, what kind of bet has Li Qingshui made on him? "
"Do you know?" Liu Xinmin looks at number 17 .
"I don’t know . " No . 17 shook his head . "Maybe we can wait for him to wake up and reorganize his physical memory . Maybe there is a message left by Li Qingshui to us?" (to be continued)
