Sometimes I really envy the residents of Ideal City... They have golden spoons in their mouths as soon as they are born and have plenty of time to do nothing, and I seem to be doing this and the next thing I have been born.
In the evening, Highway Town Hotel.
Looking at the tourists from Ideal City, Zhou Nan took a sip of the mellow beer and sighed with emotion.
He could tell at a glance where those people came from.
Their unique temperament is easier to recognize than blue jackets and bionic people.
Sun Shiqi, who was sitting opposite him, smiled.
What's the point? It's better to envy them than to envy them. At that time, they not only had time to do nothing, but also had free time to arrange us.
Organize us?
In other words, imagine the future.
Hahaha.
The laughter diluted the melancholy.
Sun Shiqi and the drinker sitting opposite him clinked the glass.
He made a small fortune by making a deal with steel. He can no longer be considered a businessman, but should be considered a factory owner of the alliance. Most of his wealth has been invested in the alliance's industries.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been a businessman before and was not trusted by the Frost Spear Tribe, which was once a refugee, and someone had never agreed to his pursuit, he might have even tied his family to the alliance.
But then again, although he is optimistic about the future of the league, he actually took some determination to do these things.
A long time ago, he had been carrying a certain original sin in his heart, worried that the administrator of the alliance had sent a loyal guards to silence him because he knew that the silver coins were just a bunch of game coins at the beginning.
Later he realized that his worries were completely redundant.
That person didn't care at all.
Actually, it’s true if you think about it, so what if you know it?
Do people do not eat rice poured from manure just because they know how manure comes from?
No one in the entire valley province would doubt the value of silver coins, and even the scavengers active on the edge of the Great Rift Valley recognized it.
Especially recently, the bulk trading price of corn has officially fallen below the 1 silver coin mark, and was suppressed to 09 by the autumn grain pouring in Luoxia Province.
Just a year ago, the number was 15, and even the cheapest green wheat and wool potatoes were not so cheap!
Now, the residents of Shuguang City not only eat by themselves, steam, boil, fried, and even feed the extras to pigs and cows. The bar at the hotel in Highway Town has added a new grain wine produced by shelter residents.
But the wine was too strong, and the bitter throat, and not many people really liked to drink except for the trendy people and the shelter residents themselves.
Speaking of which, we are going to celebrate again.
Isn't this good?
Celebrations are held every day, who will work?Zhou Nan looked worried, your factory is going to be on vacation too.
Sun Shiqi said with a smile.
It doesn’t matter, it’s not that the holidays are on every day, it’s been a few months since the last celebration.I heard that there are more than 100 festivals a year in the era of the People's League, and there are only about four or five alliances so far, but it's actually okay.
Zhou Nan shook his head.
Can that be the same? The productivity and productivity of the People's Alliance era are completely incomparable to the present, and they will not be hungry even if they don't work.
Sun Shiqi said slowly.
You are right, but not right. The alliance's productivity is not very high, but it is definitely not weak. Several celebrations can definitely be held.There are no complicated bureaucrats here, nor are there any nobles who need to support. Even if people are asked to tighten their belts, no one will get benefits. The things produced must be used to make sense. Is it just as hard for those scholars who are doing research like a college?
When he said this, he laughed out loud.
Unfortunately, even if the alliance wants to provide academic preferential treatment, there are not so many scholars who can be given preferential treatment.It is better to give residents more holidays so that everyone can be happy and pay their wages to spend, so that they will be happy whether they are factories or shops, and they will be happy themselves.
Isn’t people living just to be happy?
A frowning person cannot do big things. If he really does it, it will probably scare the others around him.
I still think it's not good to be so extravagant at the beginning... Even if they want to be nice to the residents, I think maybe I can wait a little longer
Sun Shiqi shook his head.
Things that need to be waited for will never come.
What about the future?Even if there are no nobles now, there will be one in the future.Isn't the best example? The first residents of the inner city were supporters of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee. Now who still remembers what that committee is going to do?
In order to prove that his logic is fine, Zhou Nan tried to find some arguments, and the Rock City is undoubtedly the best example.
It is said that a century and a half ago there was also a noble group of survivors living there, and if they had not opened the gates of the giant wall, there would not have been the outer city now.
What's the difference between alliances?
The city lord Luca probably couldn't have a child at that age, and probably wouldn't have any descendants. Old Charlie heard that he was an old popsicle. Most of the people who came from that era were avant-garde, and probably didn't want to take their children to this wasteland to suffer.
But there will always be something else.
The commander of the First Corps Wrench, and the commander of the Second Corps Liu Ding, those people are in their prime. They are not only capable, but also come out of the battlefield with real swords and guns.
Their loyalty may not be about the alliance from beginning to end, but about the managers. It is hard to say how far their ideals can go and how far their children can go with them.
Sun Shiqi knew what he wanted to say but stopped, but just grinned indifferently.
Let’s talk about the future. Our managers are not old yet.
Hearing his words, Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment and said with a laugh.
Good guy... have you regarded yourself as an alliance person?
No wonder this guy keeps talking to the league!
Sun Shiqi said proudly.
Otherwise?If it weren't for the alliance, I would probably still transport food to the slave owners and brokers in Honghe Town and play the futures trick of red tickets and blue tickets with them.I decided to be a resident of the alliance since I bought my first warehouse here.
It's also emotional.
At first he bought a warehouse in Shuguang City, but he planned to wait for the autumn to stock up on some grain, then buy a few trucks, and take down the trade route from Union to Honghe Town, and be the largest miner and grain merchant on the wasteland.
But not long after, the alliance and the army started a war. A large number of refuge residents carried guns to the battlefield. The demand for smelting of steel and copper mines suddenly soared, which made him see new business opportunities. So he immediately opened a steel plant next to the mine in Qingshi County.
But his hometown has not changed at all, and he is still the same.
It was said that Honghe Town was changed to Honghe Alliance some time ago, but after thinking for a long time, he found that it was actually just a change of name, but it was still the same old trick of changing the soup and not changing the medicine.
Since the last time the alliance cut the arrogant guys into the copper ore transaction, he found that the wealthy slave owners were not smart, but just a group of fat pigs who were lucky enough to lie on a pile of treasures. But soon the treasures they were proud of were no longer valuable.
Since the railway from Qingquan City to Xizhou City was completed, the coal, copper, iron, sulfur and other resources of the alliance were not only self-sufficient, but also exported to the outside world.
He hasn't purchased goods in that garbage dump for a while.
... Speaking of which, my friend, why are you pessimistic? Are you facing any difficulties?Looking at Zhou Nan, Sun Shiqi cast a concerned look at him.
Zhou Nan hesitated, sighed, and put down the beer glass in his hand.
Ah, something really happened in my hometown. After a while... I might have to go back.
Sun Shiqi remembers that he came from Jinchuan Province and came from a place called Hope Town.
What's the matter?
Nago.
What?
Looking at Sun Shiqi who was confused, Zhou Nan explained.
A thing that is more effective than a spiritual leaf, like a hallucination solitary, can make people see a bizarre world, but it will not make people weak, but instead... will adapt to weakness.
What's the meaning?
For example... you are sick and should have been lying weakly in bed to rest, but now you have eaten Nago, the virus has not been cured, but will be integrated with you, reaching a reconciliation, and making you stronger.From then on, whether it is fever or pain, it will not make you uncomfortable, but will instead turn into pleasure... and make you stronger in the process.
Happy...pleasant?!
Very distorted, right?Looking at the drunkard who was so surprised that he couldn't speak, Zhou Nan sighed. Only the same twisted mutants are not affected by side effects.Those green-skinned guys not only like to eat that, but also become more excited because of this, both the desire to kill and the desire to reproduce will increase.
Wouldn't it be better if you don't eat this bad thing?
Suddenly, Sun Shiqi seemed to realize something.
Could it be...
Yes, addictive.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Nan nodded.
...And it is not a slight addiction like tobacco and spiritual leaves, but a physiological inseparable. Once you stop eating, the virus that reconciles with your body will quickly swallow you, and the process is no longer pleasure...but fatal pain.But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the land that has grown that thing will turn green, and the feces pulled out by animals that have eaten it will also be green.
green……
Sun Shiqi moved his Adam's apple and drank a sip of beer to moisten his throat.
Do weeds grow?
It's not that kind of thing. Zhou Nan lowered his voice, it was green visible to the naked eye... It was like a plague. Once it was touched, the soil would slowly become so that it could only plant that thing, and humans and animals would gradually become inseparable from it.No one knows why, but only knows it comes from the south, that is, the coast of death.There is also a saying that it comes from the farther southern archipelago.
Sun Shiqi said in disbelief.
How could anyone grow that kind of thing... Are those farmers crazy?
Zhou Nan shook his head with a wry smile.
They actually have no choice... You have noticed that since Luoye City opened the railway, the food is no longer that valuable.
……
Shuguang City First Hospital.
Fang Chang, who was waiting outside the operating room, was paced back and forth in a complicated mood, and was both nervous and nervous.
At this time, the door next to him suddenly opened, and he immediately walked forward, just in time to meet the doctor who came out of the inside wearing a mask.
doctor
Guessing what he was going to ask, the doctor replied skillfully.
The operation is very successful, but it is best not to exercise vigorously these days to avoid affecting postoperative recovery.Less spicy and greasy in terms of diet, eat more meat if you have the conditions...
Listening to the doctor's words, Fang Chang turned on the VM recording function and wrote it down carefully.
I remembered it.
The doctor looked at this guy twice more.
There are many refuge residents here for surgery, especially those of Shelter No. 404, and some of them are even his regular customers.
Those guys never feel at ease with his advice, and some unlucky people even brought back their heavy bleeding that day.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
Maybe it's not because the person who had the surgery...
He patted Fang Chang's shoulder and the doctor rushed to the next shift. Fang Chang quickly walked into the operating room and looked at Dolly, who was sitting on the operating table with ignorant eyes.
She was wearing a thin shirt and just woke up from anesthesia. She was not very awake and was staring blankly at the mirror in the nurse's hand.
Looking at the left half of her arm as smooth as ceramic, she carefully stretched out her hand, as if she was afraid of being broken, so she gently pinched it.
The touch was as soft as it was, and the temperature was exactly the same as the body temperature, and there was even no trace of connection on the shoulders.
It's just like it's true!
Including the left eye...
Tears filled her eyes and moistened the corners of her eyes. She sucked her nose gently, covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, and sobbed out loud.
After being eliminated by the Dragon Blood Potion, she never thought that one day she could live like a normal person, without having to carry heavy steel like shackles, and without having to feel inferior about the strangeness of her body and the strangeness of others' eyes...
Very beautiful.The nurse holding the mirror said with envy.
Occasionally, people will come here to assemble with the bionic prosthetic body of Ideal City, but most of the residents of the shelter will pursue function, power, and uniqueness.
Few people will use comfort and beauty as their first reference.
It feels like...it's like it's made specifically for you.
Um……
Her fair and tender face turned slightly red, and Dolly raised her arm and gently rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes.
With the help of the nurse, she got up from the hospital bed and put on her shoes again. She happened to see the square long standing at the door.
Fang Chang, who had not spoken out, asked with concern.
Don't lie for a while?
Looking at the anxious boyfriend, the nurse smiled and the patient beside him replied.
It was just a minor operation. If you want to lie down for a while, you can go to the next ward, but she recovered well, so she just needs to go back and rest.
It is worthy of being a wasteland.
Changing an arm was just a minor surgery.
Thinking of myself in reality, I had to stay in the hospital for a while if I extracted my teeth, Fang Chang couldn't help feeling ashamed.But he still couldn't let it go when he went back like this, so he looked at Dolly worriedly.
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Dolly nodded with a red face and moved her lips glutinously.
I'm fine...Let's go back.
If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.Fang Chang looked at her seriously and said with concern, "By the way, does it feel fitting?"
Well...it was like it grew out of me. As he was talking, Dolly looked at Fang Chang in confusion. By the way, how did you know the size of my arm?
Her previous mechanical arm was not symmetrical at all. Her left arm was slightly longer than her right arm, and this one was not only the same length, but also the same color.
The key is that I have never seen him measure it.
Did you secretly measure it while you were asleep?
You don’t have to measure it with a ruler. Looking at your confused girlfriend, Fang Chang couldn’t help but smile. You forgot that we’ve compared the size of our hands.
Dolly's eyes widened in surprise.
This is OK too?
Well, it seems I remember correctly.
But we haven't compared our arms...
Looking at the eyes that were still confused and confused, Fang Chang coughed gently.
...must you say it here?
Dolly was slightly stunned.
At first she didn't understand, but when she met those pairs of bad eyes, she instantly came back to her senses and her cheeks turned red like apples.
She hit the hateful guy with her forehead aggressively, then leaned closer to his shoulder and took a bite in discomfort.
Hiss... Are you a cat?I always have teeth.
Although she didn't bite very hard, Fang Chang cooperated to make a grinning expression in order to relieve her.
Unexpectedly, he bit him so much that he felt relieved. He hummed twice, and turned his eyes away with red face.
Who wants you...bad-hearted.
Fang Chang made an innocent expression.
I didn't say anything... Why did you suddenly bit me?
You...you know it in your heart!
She lowered her head shyly, and after a while, she suddenly spoke in a low voice in embarrassment.
Thanks……
Fang Chang said with a smile.
You're welcome.
Seeing Dolly accepting the gift generously, he actually felt relieved.
He wouldn't tell her why he was nervous in front of the operating room.
In addition to worrying about the possible accident of the operation, he was also worried that she would think too much about this special gift.
For example, I misunderstood that I despise the smell of motor oil on her body.
He had never cared about such irrelevant little things, just thought that the robotic arm was too heavy... Forget it, the rough man of Qianfeng, it would be a pain to wear her little body every day. If it weren't for not finding a suitable one, and it would take time to customize it, he would have replaced her with it.
Just want it!Dolly looked at him seriously and asked in a low voice, tell me honestly...how much money did you spend.
Fang Chang looked at her helplessly.
If you ask what that is done, do you still want to pay me back?
Um!Dolly nodded vigorously and said seriously, I, I have a job too... Although the salary is not that high, I will work hard!
Looking at the serious look, Fang Chang knew that she was not joking or polite, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
To be honest, this is more troublesome than the misunderstanding he was worried about before.
No matter how easy he pretended to be, he would be difficult to change the fact that the gift was too expensive.
This is not as simple as a scarf or a meal, it is a valuable item that cannot be bought with millions of chips.
It may not be much for some people.
But it's completely different for Dolly.
Supporting her to the present is not a family she has never had before, but self-esteem... Deep in her heart, that may be the only thing she has left.
She would accept the reward for purchasing information without hesitation, even if she was hitting the customer hard... that was her way of making a living and the fruit of her labor she deserved. Even when she went to the newspaper and asked Hal for the reward and bonuses later, she had never been polite.
But if it is out of pity, even if she accepts it calmly, she will return it in another way.
He could feel the sensitivity and entanglement deep in her heart, especially after knowing her identity.
And what he was most worried about was this point she might have understood this overly expensive gift as a kind of pity or charity.
He had no such intention at all, and he didn't want her to feel that she was owed to her because of this, and always wanted to repay this kindness.
An unequal relationship will one day become unbalanced in one party's care, and he does not think she owes him anything.
Well, I said it was a gift I finally found... It was too sad to talk about money.Fang Chang's face showed a embarrassed expression and he thought quickly in his heart.
But
Let's do this, his eyes fell on the robotic arm next to the operating table, and his heart suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on his face. That thing... it's mine from now on.
that?Dolly stared at the mechanical arm blankly and whispered without confidence, "How could that... be the same as this one."
Even if she had never been to Lihui City, she could guess that one was something that could not be bought with the chips piled up into small hills, and the other was mass-produced by Jushi Military Industry.
Indeed, after touching her chin, Fang Chang nodded thoughtfully and agreed to her statement. One was something that could be bought with a bunch of points, and the other was a limited edition prop that carries countless memories... In my opinion, the latter is much more expensive than the former.
……precious?
Well, after all, it also helps you spend a long time, and life will be inconvenient without it.
Looking at the confused Dolly, he reached out and touched her head, a soft smile appeared on his face.
You may not understand it very much, but it doesn't matter.I just want to say that whether it is a pleasant memory or a painful memory... I plan to accept your past, present, and future together, and that is the most precious thing to me.
The eyes gradually covered with a layer of touching mist. Although the nurse standing aside did not want to disturb the atmosphere of the two of them, she had to prepare for the next operation.
She coughed gently and reminded with a friendly smile.
Sir...How long do you have to stay here?
Suddenly he came to his senses and found himself in the operating room. Fang Chang smiled embarrassedly.
Sorry, I'll take her away now.
Dolly's face turned red unconsciously, half of it was embarrassment, and half of it was embarrassed to disturb other people's work.
She whispered with a gentle pull of her long cuff.
Leaving.
The two hurriedly left the ward.
Just as Fang Chang was thinking about where to go for a while, he suddenly saw an acquaintance coming towards him.
Fallen feathers?
Hearing someone calling his name, Luo Yu stopped and looked at the two of them, with a look of surprise on his originally calm face.
Ah, Fang Chang... are you back?
Well, I just came back.Fang Chang smiled, held Dolly's little hand, and introduced, this is Dolly, my girlfriend.
Dolly nodded politely.
Hello.
Ah, hello, a friendly smile was squeezed out on his worried face. Luo Yu greeted him in a couplet of unskilled people, and then looked at Fang Chang, saying, have you seen my little Yu?
Xiaoyu?Fang Chang was slightly stunned. What's wrong with it?
I don’t know, Luo Yu shook his head and said with a puzzled look, ... It suddenly had a fever yesterday, and I brought it here. The doctor here didn’t know what to do, so he notified the scientific research team. Later, a researcher came and said he was staying in the hospital for observation... In short, I asked me to come back today, but I searched for the day but couldn’t find the NPC.
Could it be busy?
Maybe... I hope there will be no bug again.When talking about bugs, Luo Yu looked depressed.
I don't know what it is.
He felt that he was targeted by the server and he encountered all the bugs.
Fang Chang looked at him sympathetically.
Do you need me to help you?
...No, Luo Yu shook his head into a rattle. Don't worry about me, I'll look for it myself, you guys go and do your business.
As he said that, he walked to the office next to him, intending to find a doctor to ask about the situation.
By chance, several people from the Guards came over and entered the office, and then took him to other places.
The person in charge was known to Fang Chang.
It was the young man named Lu Bei who often followed Chu Guang.
The invisible gossip antenna above his head moved. The reporter's intuition made Dolly feel that things were not that simple, so he looked at Fang Chang curiously.
Has something happened?
Fang Chang had a subtle expression on his face.
Maybe...has the hidden task been triggered?
Hide mission?
That had nothing to do with us, so he gently pinched her hand, and Fang Chang continued, "Let's go, let's have supper."
……
Refuge No. 404.
B3 floor warehouse.
Chu Guang, who was fully armed, was frowning at the strange-shaped creature in front of him.
It was like an overdeveloped human figure, with the conical hem stuck to the floor, and slender tentacles flying behind it, just like Medusa's hair.
What is even more surprising is that it only took one night to go from its original appearance to its current appearance...
...Yehh.
The sound was weak, which was in sharp contrast to its strong body.
Looking at the tentacles dancing forward, the guards standing around Chu Guang showed nervous expressions and clenched the weapons in their hands.
If the monster dares to threaten their supreme leader, they will shoot him without hesitation.
However, Chu Guang raised his hand and signaled them to put the gun down and retreat.
Perhaps because I am the first person it met after it was born, it still retains trust in itself in its memory, believing that it will not hurt it for no reason.
He could feel that the weak voice contained no threat, just asking for help from himself.
Chu Guang looked at Heya who was standing aside.
...What does evolution mean?
Transition from maternal body to maternal nest!
Completely different from those soldiers, Heya was not afraid, but his slight trembling voice was filled with a hint of excitement and excitement, and his fists were clenched and sweat was seeping out.
At this moment, her image is like a scientific madman who is obsessed with biological experiments in the classic villain in the Hollywood blockbuster.
Even Chu Guang couldn't help but look at her for a few more times.
If it were in the notebook, this guy would probably not have ended up being very good.
Heya continued with a fanatical look on his face.
...I don’t know if the colleges and enterprises have done similar research, but this is the first time for us!You may not know what this means… We will witness the complete process of the mutational mucus maternal body from the early stages of development to maturity, and then to the transition to the maternal nest!
As she said that, she talked about many obscure professional terms again.
It was like a witch's spell, and Chu Guang couldn't understand what she was saying at all.
Although he believed in her professionalism, he interrupted her and stared at those fanatical eyes seriously, saying one by one.
I just want to know two things now, no matter what it will happen, and what should I do if I want to do something to control the situation.
He didn't want the B3 floor of the shelter to become like the B6 floor. It would be better if the same accident happened once, and there were many training cabins for players here.
Taking a deep breath, Hea slightly returned to his usual calmness.
Sorry, I was a little too excited just now... Answering your question, letting it evolve independently is to let it evolve independently.
As for how to control the situation... I don't know how to control the situation, but we do have ways to interfere with the evolutionary process.These are two options. No matter which one you choose, there will be a gambling element... depending on which result you want.
Chu Guang asked immediately.
What is autonomous evolution?
Hea said concisely.
Without any interference, it will develop on its own, just like most maternal nests do.First of all, it will enter a very long period of dormant, during which it will slowly transform into a new life. The advantage is that we can collect some interesting data, while the disadvantage is that the results are uncontrollable. Maybe it will not remember what happened before.
Chu Guang asked in confusion.
why is that?
Hea replied briefly.
There is no reason, this is a speculation based on the data I collected before, including the data recorded in the B6 layer experiment.Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, most cells in the pupal period will be decomposed and digested into nutrients, becoming nutrients for adult disc cells... and the way the mother transforms into the maternal nest is similar.This is the life process it will surely go through, sacrificing its past self and then forging into a stronger self.
Chu Guang frowned.
What about interference?
Borrow pupa.Hea simply replied, in plain words, just let it swallow the mother nest that had passed the pupa period in the B6th floor, which was equivalent to that guy walking the path he originally needed to take for it.
Chu Guang was stunned.
Can such a thing be done?
Of course, mutant slime is this kind of thing. They swallow everything, obtain genetic secrets and analyze them, and of course they also include their kind.
He paused, and Hea continued in a serious tone.
However, this is not without risks, and the probability of being swallowed also exists, and it is not low.After all, you should understand how difficult it is to let a young child who has just learned to walk defeat an old monster who has lived for countless years?Even if we can help it, such as gaze inhibitors, it is by no means an easy task... I'm explaining it as much as you can, and try to understand it.
I understood, Chu Guang looked at Xiaoyu and asked in a deep voice, which option is a bit more likely to retain itself?
If it loses its memory and self in the process of evolution, Luo Yu's efforts over the past period will probably be in vain.
At least that's true in Chu Guang's opinion.
The reason why he was willing to take a certain risk to allow Luo Yu to move freely with Xiao Yu was not because he was idle, but because he needed a mutant slime mold that could understand humans and regard humans as partners rather than prey.
Since this species cannot be eliminated from nature, try to domesticate them.
This is not impossible.
Before dogs were domesticated, they were also humans' competitors in the food chain.
Looking at Chu Guang's serious expression, Hea sighed.
I can't give you an accurate probability of something like this that has never happened.It would be great if that white pigeon... was the guy from Lost Valley. He should be very experienced, but it would probably be too late to find him now.
And even if he finds him, he may not help us.Chu Guang turned his gaze to Xiaoyu.
He could feel the confusion about his own situation and the desire to retain himself.
However, according to Hea, both options are bets, and the probability is not very high.
At this time, a guard wearing an exoskeleton walked to him with great strides, pressing his right fist against his chest and nodding slightly.
Administrator.
We brought the person you were looking for.
……………………
In the evening, Highway Town Hotel.
Looking at the tourists from Ideal City, Zhou Nan took a sip of the mellow beer and sighed with emotion.
He could tell at a glance where those people came from.
Their unique temperament is easier to recognize than blue jackets and bionic people.
Sun Shiqi, who was sitting opposite him, smiled.
What's the point? It's better to envy them than to envy them. At that time, they not only had time to do nothing, but also had free time to arrange us.
Organize us?
In other words, imagine the future.
Hahaha.
The laughter diluted the melancholy.
Sun Shiqi and the drinker sitting opposite him clinked the glass.
He made a small fortune by making a deal with steel. He can no longer be considered a businessman, but should be considered a factory owner of the alliance. Most of his wealth has been invested in the alliance's industries.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been a businessman before and was not trusted by the Frost Spear Tribe, which was once a refugee, and someone had never agreed to his pursuit, he might have even tied his family to the alliance.
But then again, although he is optimistic about the future of the league, he actually took some determination to do these things.
A long time ago, he had been carrying a certain original sin in his heart, worried that the administrator of the alliance had sent a loyal guards to silence him because he knew that the silver coins were just a bunch of game coins at the beginning.
Later he realized that his worries were completely redundant.
That person didn't care at all.
Actually, it’s true if you think about it, so what if you know it?
Do people do not eat rice poured from manure just because they know how manure comes from?
No one in the entire valley province would doubt the value of silver coins, and even the scavengers active on the edge of the Great Rift Valley recognized it.
Especially recently, the bulk trading price of corn has officially fallen below the 1 silver coin mark, and was suppressed to 09 by the autumn grain pouring in Luoxia Province.
Just a year ago, the number was 15, and even the cheapest green wheat and wool potatoes were not so cheap!
Now, the residents of Shuguang City not only eat by themselves, steam, boil, fried, and even feed the extras to pigs and cows. The bar at the hotel in Highway Town has added a new grain wine produced by shelter residents.
But the wine was too strong, and the bitter throat, and not many people really liked to drink except for the trendy people and the shelter residents themselves.
Speaking of which, we are going to celebrate again.
Isn't this good?
Celebrations are held every day, who will work?Zhou Nan looked worried, your factory is going to be on vacation too.
Sun Shiqi said with a smile.
It doesn’t matter, it’s not that the holidays are on every day, it’s been a few months since the last celebration.I heard that there are more than 100 festivals a year in the era of the People's League, and there are only about four or five alliances so far, but it's actually okay.
Zhou Nan shook his head.
Can that be the same? The productivity and productivity of the People's Alliance era are completely incomparable to the present, and they will not be hungry even if they don't work.
Sun Shiqi said slowly.
You are right, but not right. The alliance's productivity is not very high, but it is definitely not weak. Several celebrations can definitely be held.There are no complicated bureaucrats here, nor are there any nobles who need to support. Even if people are asked to tighten their belts, no one will get benefits. The things produced must be used to make sense. Is it just as hard for those scholars who are doing research like a college?
When he said this, he laughed out loud.
Unfortunately, even if the alliance wants to provide academic preferential treatment, there are not so many scholars who can be given preferential treatment.It is better to give residents more holidays so that everyone can be happy and pay their wages to spend, so that they will be happy whether they are factories or shops, and they will be happy themselves.
Isn’t people living just to be happy?
A frowning person cannot do big things. If he really does it, it will probably scare the others around him.
I still think it's not good to be so extravagant at the beginning... Even if they want to be nice to the residents, I think maybe I can wait a little longer
Sun Shiqi shook his head.
Things that need to be waited for will never come.
What about the future?Even if there are no nobles now, there will be one in the future.Isn't the best example? The first residents of the inner city were supporters of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee. Now who still remembers what that committee is going to do?
In order to prove that his logic is fine, Zhou Nan tried to find some arguments, and the Rock City is undoubtedly the best example.
It is said that a century and a half ago there was also a noble group of survivors living there, and if they had not opened the gates of the giant wall, there would not have been the outer city now.
What's the difference between alliances?
The city lord Luca probably couldn't have a child at that age, and probably wouldn't have any descendants. Old Charlie heard that he was an old popsicle. Most of the people who came from that era were avant-garde, and probably didn't want to take their children to this wasteland to suffer.
But there will always be something else.
The commander of the First Corps Wrench, and the commander of the Second Corps Liu Ding, those people are in their prime. They are not only capable, but also come out of the battlefield with real swords and guns.
Their loyalty may not be about the alliance from beginning to end, but about the managers. It is hard to say how far their ideals can go and how far their children can go with them.
Sun Shiqi knew what he wanted to say but stopped, but just grinned indifferently.
Let’s talk about the future. Our managers are not old yet.
Hearing his words, Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment and said with a laugh.
Good guy... have you regarded yourself as an alliance person?
No wonder this guy keeps talking to the league!
Sun Shiqi said proudly.
Otherwise?If it weren't for the alliance, I would probably still transport food to the slave owners and brokers in Honghe Town and play the futures trick of red tickets and blue tickets with them.I decided to be a resident of the alliance since I bought my first warehouse here.
It's also emotional.
At first he bought a warehouse in Shuguang City, but he planned to wait for the autumn to stock up on some grain, then buy a few trucks, and take down the trade route from Union to Honghe Town, and be the largest miner and grain merchant on the wasteland.
But not long after, the alliance and the army started a war. A large number of refuge residents carried guns to the battlefield. The demand for smelting of steel and copper mines suddenly soared, which made him see new business opportunities. So he immediately opened a steel plant next to the mine in Qingshi County.
But his hometown has not changed at all, and he is still the same.
It was said that Honghe Town was changed to Honghe Alliance some time ago, but after thinking for a long time, he found that it was actually just a change of name, but it was still the same old trick of changing the soup and not changing the medicine.
Since the last time the alliance cut the arrogant guys into the copper ore transaction, he found that the wealthy slave owners were not smart, but just a group of fat pigs who were lucky enough to lie on a pile of treasures. But soon the treasures they were proud of were no longer valuable.
Since the railway from Qingquan City to Xizhou City was completed, the coal, copper, iron, sulfur and other resources of the alliance were not only self-sufficient, but also exported to the outside world.
He hasn't purchased goods in that garbage dump for a while.
... Speaking of which, my friend, why are you pessimistic? Are you facing any difficulties?Looking at Zhou Nan, Sun Shiqi cast a concerned look at him.
Zhou Nan hesitated, sighed, and put down the beer glass in his hand.
Ah, something really happened in my hometown. After a while... I might have to go back.
Sun Shiqi remembers that he came from Jinchuan Province and came from a place called Hope Town.
What's the matter?
Nago.
What?
Looking at Sun Shiqi who was confused, Zhou Nan explained.
A thing that is more effective than a spiritual leaf, like a hallucination solitary, can make people see a bizarre world, but it will not make people weak, but instead... will adapt to weakness.
What's the meaning?
For example... you are sick and should have been lying weakly in bed to rest, but now you have eaten Nago, the virus has not been cured, but will be integrated with you, reaching a reconciliation, and making you stronger.From then on, whether it is fever or pain, it will not make you uncomfortable, but will instead turn into pleasure... and make you stronger in the process.
Happy...pleasant?!
Very distorted, right?Looking at the drunkard who was so surprised that he couldn't speak, Zhou Nan sighed. Only the same twisted mutants are not affected by side effects.Those green-skinned guys not only like to eat that, but also become more excited because of this, both the desire to kill and the desire to reproduce will increase.
Wouldn't it be better if you don't eat this bad thing?
Suddenly, Sun Shiqi seemed to realize something.
Could it be...
Yes, addictive.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Nan nodded.
...And it is not a slight addiction like tobacco and spiritual leaves, but a physiological inseparable. Once you stop eating, the virus that reconciles with your body will quickly swallow you, and the process is no longer pleasure...but fatal pain.But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the land that has grown that thing will turn green, and the feces pulled out by animals that have eaten it will also be green.
green……
Sun Shiqi moved his Adam's apple and drank a sip of beer to moisten his throat.
Do weeds grow?
It's not that kind of thing. Zhou Nan lowered his voice, it was green visible to the naked eye... It was like a plague. Once it was touched, the soil would slowly become so that it could only plant that thing, and humans and animals would gradually become inseparable from it.No one knows why, but only knows it comes from the south, that is, the coast of death.There is also a saying that it comes from the farther southern archipelago.
Sun Shiqi said in disbelief.
How could anyone grow that kind of thing... Are those farmers crazy?
Zhou Nan shook his head with a wry smile.
They actually have no choice... You have noticed that since Luoye City opened the railway, the food is no longer that valuable.
……
Shuguang City First Hospital.
Fang Chang, who was waiting outside the operating room, was paced back and forth in a complicated mood, and was both nervous and nervous.
At this time, the door next to him suddenly opened, and he immediately walked forward, just in time to meet the doctor who came out of the inside wearing a mask.
doctor
Guessing what he was going to ask, the doctor replied skillfully.
The operation is very successful, but it is best not to exercise vigorously these days to avoid affecting postoperative recovery.Less spicy and greasy in terms of diet, eat more meat if you have the conditions...
Listening to the doctor's words, Fang Chang turned on the VM recording function and wrote it down carefully.
I remembered it.
The doctor looked at this guy twice more.
There are many refuge residents here for surgery, especially those of Shelter No. 404, and some of them are even his regular customers.
Those guys never feel at ease with his advice, and some unlucky people even brought back their heavy bleeding that day.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
Maybe it's not because the person who had the surgery...
He patted Fang Chang's shoulder and the doctor rushed to the next shift. Fang Chang quickly walked into the operating room and looked at Dolly, who was sitting on the operating table with ignorant eyes.
She was wearing a thin shirt and just woke up from anesthesia. She was not very awake and was staring blankly at the mirror in the nurse's hand.
Looking at the left half of her arm as smooth as ceramic, she carefully stretched out her hand, as if she was afraid of being broken, so she gently pinched it.
The touch was as soft as it was, and the temperature was exactly the same as the body temperature, and there was even no trace of connection on the shoulders.
It's just like it's true!
Including the left eye...
Tears filled her eyes and moistened the corners of her eyes. She sucked her nose gently, covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, and sobbed out loud.
After being eliminated by the Dragon Blood Potion, she never thought that one day she could live like a normal person, without having to carry heavy steel like shackles, and without having to feel inferior about the strangeness of her body and the strangeness of others' eyes...
Very beautiful.The nurse holding the mirror said with envy.
Occasionally, people will come here to assemble with the bionic prosthetic body of Ideal City, but most of the residents of the shelter will pursue function, power, and uniqueness.
Few people will use comfort and beauty as their first reference.
It feels like...it's like it's made specifically for you.
Um……
Her fair and tender face turned slightly red, and Dolly raised her arm and gently rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes.
With the help of the nurse, she got up from the hospital bed and put on her shoes again. She happened to see the square long standing at the door.
Fang Chang, who had not spoken out, asked with concern.
Don't lie for a while?
Looking at the anxious boyfriend, the nurse smiled and the patient beside him replied.
It was just a minor operation. If you want to lie down for a while, you can go to the next ward, but she recovered well, so she just needs to go back and rest.
It is worthy of being a wasteland.
Changing an arm was just a minor surgery.
Thinking of myself in reality, I had to stay in the hospital for a while if I extracted my teeth, Fang Chang couldn't help feeling ashamed.But he still couldn't let it go when he went back like this, so he looked at Dolly worriedly.
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Dolly nodded with a red face and moved her lips glutinously.
I'm fine...Let's go back.
If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.Fang Chang looked at her seriously and said with concern, "By the way, does it feel fitting?"
Well...it was like it grew out of me. As he was talking, Dolly looked at Fang Chang in confusion. By the way, how did you know the size of my arm?
Her previous mechanical arm was not symmetrical at all. Her left arm was slightly longer than her right arm, and this one was not only the same length, but also the same color.
The key is that I have never seen him measure it.
Did you secretly measure it while you were asleep?
You don’t have to measure it with a ruler. Looking at your confused girlfriend, Fang Chang couldn’t help but smile. You forgot that we’ve compared the size of our hands.
Dolly's eyes widened in surprise.
This is OK too?
Well, it seems I remember correctly.
But we haven't compared our arms...
Looking at the eyes that were still confused and confused, Fang Chang coughed gently.
...must you say it here?
Dolly was slightly stunned.
At first she didn't understand, but when she met those pairs of bad eyes, she instantly came back to her senses and her cheeks turned red like apples.
She hit the hateful guy with her forehead aggressively, then leaned closer to his shoulder and took a bite in discomfort.
Hiss... Are you a cat?I always have teeth.
Although she didn't bite very hard, Fang Chang cooperated to make a grinning expression in order to relieve her.
Unexpectedly, he bit him so much that he felt relieved. He hummed twice, and turned his eyes away with red face.
Who wants you...bad-hearted.
Fang Chang made an innocent expression.
I didn't say anything... Why did you suddenly bit me?
You...you know it in your heart!
She lowered her head shyly, and after a while, she suddenly spoke in a low voice in embarrassment.
Thanks……
Fang Chang said with a smile.
You're welcome.
Seeing Dolly accepting the gift generously, he actually felt relieved.
He wouldn't tell her why he was nervous in front of the operating room.
In addition to worrying about the possible accident of the operation, he was also worried that she would think too much about this special gift.
For example, I misunderstood that I despise the smell of motor oil on her body.
He had never cared about such irrelevant little things, just thought that the robotic arm was too heavy... Forget it, the rough man of Qianfeng, it would be a pain to wear her little body every day. If it weren't for not finding a suitable one, and it would take time to customize it, he would have replaced her with it.
Just want it!Dolly looked at him seriously and asked in a low voice, tell me honestly...how much money did you spend.
Fang Chang looked at her helplessly.
If you ask what that is done, do you still want to pay me back?
Um!Dolly nodded vigorously and said seriously, I, I have a job too... Although the salary is not that high, I will work hard!
Looking at the serious look, Fang Chang knew that she was not joking or polite, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
To be honest, this is more troublesome than the misunderstanding he was worried about before.
No matter how easy he pretended to be, he would be difficult to change the fact that the gift was too expensive.
This is not as simple as a scarf or a meal, it is a valuable item that cannot be bought with millions of chips.
It may not be much for some people.
But it's completely different for Dolly.
Supporting her to the present is not a family she has never had before, but self-esteem... Deep in her heart, that may be the only thing she has left.
She would accept the reward for purchasing information without hesitation, even if she was hitting the customer hard... that was her way of making a living and the fruit of her labor she deserved. Even when she went to the newspaper and asked Hal for the reward and bonuses later, she had never been polite.
But if it is out of pity, even if she accepts it calmly, she will return it in another way.
He could feel the sensitivity and entanglement deep in her heart, especially after knowing her identity.
And what he was most worried about was this point she might have understood this overly expensive gift as a kind of pity or charity.
He had no such intention at all, and he didn't want her to feel that she was owed to her because of this, and always wanted to repay this kindness.
An unequal relationship will one day become unbalanced in one party's care, and he does not think she owes him anything.
Well, I said it was a gift I finally found... It was too sad to talk about money.Fang Chang's face showed a embarrassed expression and he thought quickly in his heart.
But
Let's do this, his eyes fell on the robotic arm next to the operating table, and his heart suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on his face. That thing... it's mine from now on.
that?Dolly stared at the mechanical arm blankly and whispered without confidence, "How could that... be the same as this one."
Even if she had never been to Lihui City, she could guess that one was something that could not be bought with the chips piled up into small hills, and the other was mass-produced by Jushi Military Industry.
Indeed, after touching her chin, Fang Chang nodded thoughtfully and agreed to her statement. One was something that could be bought with a bunch of points, and the other was a limited edition prop that carries countless memories... In my opinion, the latter is much more expensive than the former.
……precious?
Well, after all, it also helps you spend a long time, and life will be inconvenient without it.
Looking at the confused Dolly, he reached out and touched her head, a soft smile appeared on his face.
You may not understand it very much, but it doesn't matter.I just want to say that whether it is a pleasant memory or a painful memory... I plan to accept your past, present, and future together, and that is the most precious thing to me.
The eyes gradually covered with a layer of touching mist. Although the nurse standing aside did not want to disturb the atmosphere of the two of them, she had to prepare for the next operation.
She coughed gently and reminded with a friendly smile.
Sir...How long do you have to stay here?
Suddenly he came to his senses and found himself in the operating room. Fang Chang smiled embarrassedly.
Sorry, I'll take her away now.
Dolly's face turned red unconsciously, half of it was embarrassment, and half of it was embarrassed to disturb other people's work.
She whispered with a gentle pull of her long cuff.
Leaving.
The two hurriedly left the ward.
Just as Fang Chang was thinking about where to go for a while, he suddenly saw an acquaintance coming towards him.
Fallen feathers?
Hearing someone calling his name, Luo Yu stopped and looked at the two of them, with a look of surprise on his originally calm face.
Ah, Fang Chang... are you back?
Well, I just came back.Fang Chang smiled, held Dolly's little hand, and introduced, this is Dolly, my girlfriend.
Dolly nodded politely.
Hello.
Ah, hello, a friendly smile was squeezed out on his worried face. Luo Yu greeted him in a couplet of unskilled people, and then looked at Fang Chang, saying, have you seen my little Yu?
Xiaoyu?Fang Chang was slightly stunned. What's wrong with it?
I don’t know, Luo Yu shook his head and said with a puzzled look, ... It suddenly had a fever yesterday, and I brought it here. The doctor here didn’t know what to do, so he notified the scientific research team. Later, a researcher came and said he was staying in the hospital for observation... In short, I asked me to come back today, but I searched for the day but couldn’t find the NPC.
Could it be busy?
Maybe... I hope there will be no bug again.When talking about bugs, Luo Yu looked depressed.
I don't know what it is.
He felt that he was targeted by the server and he encountered all the bugs.
Fang Chang looked at him sympathetically.
Do you need me to help you?
...No, Luo Yu shook his head into a rattle. Don't worry about me, I'll look for it myself, you guys go and do your business.
As he said that, he walked to the office next to him, intending to find a doctor to ask about the situation.
By chance, several people from the Guards came over and entered the office, and then took him to other places.
The person in charge was known to Fang Chang.
It was the young man named Lu Bei who often followed Chu Guang.
The invisible gossip antenna above his head moved. The reporter's intuition made Dolly feel that things were not that simple, so he looked at Fang Chang curiously.
Has something happened?
Fang Chang had a subtle expression on his face.
Maybe...has the hidden task been triggered?
Hide mission?
That had nothing to do with us, so he gently pinched her hand, and Fang Chang continued, "Let's go, let's have supper."
……
Refuge No. 404.
B3 floor warehouse.
Chu Guang, who was fully armed, was frowning at the strange-shaped creature in front of him.
It was like an overdeveloped human figure, with the conical hem stuck to the floor, and slender tentacles flying behind it, just like Medusa's hair.
What is even more surprising is that it only took one night to go from its original appearance to its current appearance...
...Yehh.
The sound was weak, which was in sharp contrast to its strong body.
Looking at the tentacles dancing forward, the guards standing around Chu Guang showed nervous expressions and clenched the weapons in their hands.
If the monster dares to threaten their supreme leader, they will shoot him without hesitation.
However, Chu Guang raised his hand and signaled them to put the gun down and retreat.
Perhaps because I am the first person it met after it was born, it still retains trust in itself in its memory, believing that it will not hurt it for no reason.
He could feel that the weak voice contained no threat, just asking for help from himself.
Chu Guang looked at Heya who was standing aside.
...What does evolution mean?
Transition from maternal body to maternal nest!
Completely different from those soldiers, Heya was not afraid, but his slight trembling voice was filled with a hint of excitement and excitement, and his fists were clenched and sweat was seeping out.
At this moment, her image is like a scientific madman who is obsessed with biological experiments in the classic villain in the Hollywood blockbuster.
Even Chu Guang couldn't help but look at her for a few more times.
If it were in the notebook, this guy would probably not have ended up being very good.
Heya continued with a fanatical look on his face.
...I don’t know if the colleges and enterprises have done similar research, but this is the first time for us!You may not know what this means… We will witness the complete process of the mutational mucus maternal body from the early stages of development to maturity, and then to the transition to the maternal nest!
As she said that, she talked about many obscure professional terms again.
It was like a witch's spell, and Chu Guang couldn't understand what she was saying at all.
Although he believed in her professionalism, he interrupted her and stared at those fanatical eyes seriously, saying one by one.
I just want to know two things now, no matter what it will happen, and what should I do if I want to do something to control the situation.
He didn't want the B3 floor of the shelter to become like the B6 floor. It would be better if the same accident happened once, and there were many training cabins for players here.
Taking a deep breath, Hea slightly returned to his usual calmness.
Sorry, I was a little too excited just now... Answering your question, letting it evolve independently is to let it evolve independently.
As for how to control the situation... I don't know how to control the situation, but we do have ways to interfere with the evolutionary process.These are two options. No matter which one you choose, there will be a gambling element... depending on which result you want.
Chu Guang asked immediately.
What is autonomous evolution?
Hea said concisely.
Without any interference, it will develop on its own, just like most maternal nests do.First of all, it will enter a very long period of dormant, during which it will slowly transform into a new life. The advantage is that we can collect some interesting data, while the disadvantage is that the results are uncontrollable. Maybe it will not remember what happened before.
Chu Guang asked in confusion.
why is that?
Hea replied briefly.
There is no reason, this is a speculation based on the data I collected before, including the data recorded in the B6 layer experiment.Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, most cells in the pupal period will be decomposed and digested into nutrients, becoming nutrients for adult disc cells... and the way the mother transforms into the maternal nest is similar.This is the life process it will surely go through, sacrificing its past self and then forging into a stronger self.
Chu Guang frowned.
What about interference?
Borrow pupa.Hea simply replied, in plain words, just let it swallow the mother nest that had passed the pupa period in the B6th floor, which was equivalent to that guy walking the path he originally needed to take for it.
Chu Guang was stunned.
Can such a thing be done?
Of course, mutant slime is this kind of thing. They swallow everything, obtain genetic secrets and analyze them, and of course they also include their kind.
He paused, and Hea continued in a serious tone.
However, this is not without risks, and the probability of being swallowed also exists, and it is not low.After all, you should understand how difficult it is to let a young child who has just learned to walk defeat an old monster who has lived for countless years?Even if we can help it, such as gaze inhibitors, it is by no means an easy task... I'm explaining it as much as you can, and try to understand it.
I understood, Chu Guang looked at Xiaoyu and asked in a deep voice, which option is a bit more likely to retain itself?
If it loses its memory and self in the process of evolution, Luo Yu's efforts over the past period will probably be in vain.
At least that's true in Chu Guang's opinion.
The reason why he was willing to take a certain risk to allow Luo Yu to move freely with Xiao Yu was not because he was idle, but because he needed a mutant slime mold that could understand humans and regard humans as partners rather than prey.
Since this species cannot be eliminated from nature, try to domesticate them.
This is not impossible.
Before dogs were domesticated, they were also humans' competitors in the food chain.
Looking at Chu Guang's serious expression, Hea sighed.
I can't give you an accurate probability of something like this that has never happened.It would be great if that white pigeon... was the guy from Lost Valley. He should be very experienced, but it would probably be too late to find him now.
And even if he finds him, he may not help us.Chu Guang turned his gaze to Xiaoyu.
He could feel the confusion about his own situation and the desire to retain himself.
However, according to Hea, both options are bets, and the probability is not very high.
At this time, a guard wearing an exoskeleton walked to him with great strides, pressing his right fist against his chest and nodding slightly.
Administrator.
We brought the person you were looking for.
