Chapter 569, Never Return
According to what everyone thought, Zhou would definitely be able to solve the scourge of the experimental body in a week’s time, and since the experimental body had failed to attack the city at first, when Zhou reacted, he wouldn’t have to put the experimental body in his eyes.
But the reality seems not to be like this, counting from the day when the experimental body first started attacking the city, it has been more than a week since then, and the 74th Barrier hasn’t even seen the shadow of the reinforcements.
When Li Ran and the others first started eating, they didn’t care about controlling the amount of meals, everyone ate as usual, so much so that the food they had bought before quickly bottomed out.
Zhou Yingxue even said a few words, but as a result, everyone felt that they would soon be able to get out of the trap, and that they wouldn’t be able to leave with the grain by then, so they might as well finish eating.
So, Zhou Yingxue no longer say anything more, anyway, the big deal is that she followed the master to eat potatoes, this group of people with her dead or alive what does it matter.
By now, Li Ran they see no hope of rescue, and began to worry about the problem of food, but everyone remembered Zhou Yingxue persuade them, they do not listen to things.
But they remembered Zhou Yingxue persuade them, they do not listen to things, but also embarrassed to open the mouth to let Zhou Yingxue help think of a way, and Ren Xiaosu side of the nonchalant, the mind is not even on them, even care about them are lazy to pay attention to.
Of course, this is also not to hungry time, really hungry to the point, these people estimate that even the bark of the tree are willing to eat, not to mention begging.
Just at that time, there is no bark on the street, it is hard to say.
Anyway, Ren Xiaosu is not panicked at all, every day he goes out to see the situation of the city guard, whether there is any experimental body attacking over, the rest does not care.
The food in his storage space is at least enough for him and Zhou Yingxue to hold on for another three months, and the variety of food is quite rich, and there are still three boars left in the wild boar family that he had previously terminated in a single pot.
Two days later, Li Ran and other people always feel that they can smell in the hotel if there is a meat flavor, but looking for the smell to find the past, but did not find anything, we think it may be hungry hallucinations.
Until they saw the grease on Zhou Yingxue s lips ……
Zhou Yingxue is not at all aware of stealing food, or else this pork is given by the master, he did not steal and did not rob, and not that obligation to share with others is not it?
On that day, an extremely strange thing happened.
Above the ledge there were soldiers lying behind the defense bunker, and as a result they saw an experimental body crawling over quickly, with something dangling from its mouth.
Everyone was a bit puzzled, how did an experimental body come, did it come to surrender? Could it be that there was infighting within the experimental body?
The experimental body came to the bottom of the barrier, dropped the thing in its mouth and turned away, re-drilling into the dark forest.
The guards on the city gate looked at each other in dismay, and hurriedly lowered a person down with a hanging basket, and picked up the thing that the experimental body had thrown away, which was a piece of white cloth.
Zhou Xingwen ran up to the city wall after hearing about this, he took the white cloth in the soldier’s hand, and on it were a few words written in blood: negotiate, come alone.
At that instant, Zhou Xingwen’s scalp went numb, this experimental body would even write their words, and it also used words like negotiation.
A human negotiating with an experimental body? How can they negotiate?
Old Li and Qin Sheng rushed over, and the people from the Fire Seed Company who were originally at the top of the city explained to them what had happened, and Old Li suddenly said, “I’ll go!”
Qin Sheng turned his head to look at Old Li, “Teacher, you can’t go, I’m afraid there are still a little over ten thousand experimental subjects in that forest.”
“All right,” Old Li shook the white cloth and laughed, “Someone has to go and see what this experimental body is up to, I have no children, no partner, no attachments, and my only apprentice has also left the master, this kind of thing is just right for me to go.”
The officers of Zhou’s troop beside him all didn’t say anything, they definitely didn’t want to go, Old Li was willing to step forward, they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
And eyeing the way this knight talked and laughed, it seemed like he wasn’t that scared.
Old Li’s smile gradually closed: “And this experimental body obviously has an intelligent being controlling it behind the scenes, if the other party negotiates with me and gets close enough for me to complete the beheading, then the danger of this experimental body can probably be lifted.”
As for after the beheading, Old Li would definitely be surrounded by experimental bodies to death, and he couldn’t possibly fight with so many experimental bodies even if he was more powerful.
But he didn’t say anything about these latter words, since he went, he had to have the determination to die first.
Qin Sheng wanted to dissuade something, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Old Li, who laughed, “This matter is very exciting, isn’t it?”
……
In the afternoon, Old Li went straight down with a rope and slowly walked towards the forest alone.
Just as he entered the forest, he realized that there were constantly experimental bodies moving back and forth around him in shadow, surrounding him.
The experimental bodies did not attack Old Li, but instead gave him a path to walk deeper into the forest.
Old Li’s feet stepped on the soft leaves, once the fall was over, the leaves fell into the soil and turned into dust, the result of his old Li and the fallen leaves will not be too much worse, it is only a matter of morning and evening.
Thinking of this, the old Li strides forward, depending on the side of the experimental body as nothing.
After walking for about two kilometers, Old Li saw an experiment sitting by the campfire in front of him, holding a branch in his gray palm, with a sparrow stuck in the branch.
Old Li stood still as he silently surveyed his surroundings, wanting to see if he had a chance to kill the other, but before doing so he had to hear what the other wanted to talk about.
But how to talk? Do both sides write?
Just as Old Li was thinking wildly, that experimental body suddenly laughed hoarsely, “I’ve seen you before, that evening you were on the mountain, there was a teenager beside you then, how come I didn’t see him come.”
Old Li was stunned, the other side would still talk!
The experimental body is a human mutation, can speak human language is a very normal thing, but Lao Li felt very abnormal!
The experimental body’s voice was extremely hoarse, like two pieces of gauze rubbing against each other, “Don’t be too surprised, I’m also a human being, we were turned into this appearance for the sake of curing the disease, only some people are as lucky as I am, and can still gradually regain their sanity, while some people are unfortunate enough to turn into monsters.”
Old Li frowned and didn’t say anything, the amount of information in the other party’s words was just too much.
That experimental body glanced at him, and shook the sparrow in his hand and laughed, “This is for you to eat, in the past I also like to eat roasted meat, while now I prefer blood and flesh, and even occasionally like to eat some carrion for a change of tastes, just stand there, if you take one more step closer you’ll die here, no need to think about counting me, you guys can’t do it yet.”
Saying that, the experimenter then threw the sparrow to Old Li.
Old Li took the sparrow and didn’t dislike it, raising his hand, he raised it to his mouth and tore off a piece of meat, as he chewed, he asked, “Isn’t it good to be a human being, the meat has to be roasted before it tastes good.”
“That’s exactly why I came to you,” the experiment said hoarsely, “You guys help me find someone, if I find them, I’ll retreat back into the mountains, or I can go further south and never come back.”
