In the end, it was Lin Sanjiu who stabbed the face a few times with her [robot hand] and hooked it through the gap, causing Apu's head and face to roll out of the window and hit the ground with a "snap".
For a few seconds, even the few evolvers who had been muttering and repeating "Ordinary people have mutated, ordinary people have mutated" fell silent; someone lit up a lighting object and drove away the city road.
It was dim, surrounded by layers of people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the head of the person who was illuminated.
If it weren't for the skin texture, blood veins, and hair that are still human, it would look like a rubber hood.
Lin Sanjiu turned the head over. From the bottom of the back of the head, before reaching the neck, something made an irregular crack on the edge. The torn human skin did not have any trace of blood and was soft.
, the thin dough seems to have been drained of juice.
As for the inside, there was nothing left except a few broken bones that barely supported the shape of a human head.
"It's true, they really-"
The female evolutionist who just said that ordinary people have mutated was interrupted by Batou De's angry shout at the beginning of her sentence.
"Don't say irresponsible things!" He was really angry, and his broad face turned slightly red. "What do you mean that ordinary people have mutated? They live in the highlands and are not exposed to the haze. I ask you how they mutated.
?Why the mutation? Besides, take a look, does this look like a fallen species?"
He is well-known in Fanjia City and is enthusiastic and responsible, so everyone murmured and quieted down, letting his voice stir in the city streets. "The situation is obvious, Apu is clearly a victim. His
My body and brain were eaten away by something, and I became like this. Is there something that mutated and killed me first? Instead of talking nonsense here and saying unfounded things, we should look for it carefully.
Hide in Fanjia City and hunt for our things!"
Lin Sanjiu straightened up and looked back, only to realize that the audience of Badou De was divided into two distinct camps: three or five evolvers, standing alone on one side; on the other side were dozens of ordinary people, tightly packed together.
gather together.
"Yes, who said we have mutated?" A middle-aged woman said with annoyance. She stretched out an arm, rolled up her sleeves, and patted her skin twice: "How am I not a human being? You see.
Look, what's the problem? You evolvers should protect Fanjia City and shouldn't do this to us..."
"There are many ways of mutation," Zhong Qing suddenly said, "If nothing else, shedding of skin is also a normal phenomenon for snakes."
The glare that Badou De glared at him could almost pierce him several times.
"I'm sorry, I'm just an outsider who came to Wandering in the Clouds for the first time," Zhong Qing shook his head and said, "I have no responsibility for your Fanjia City, and I haven't enjoyed the benefits of Fanjia City. I'm just telling the truth. Is it ordinary?
It doesn't make any difference to me if someone has a problem, but I have to be clear about it in order to protect myself."
"We have no problems and no mutations,"
Another ordinary person spoke, an older man with a beard. His words were not addressed to Zhong Qing, but to another evolver living in Fanjia City. "You last one.
Yue needed to build a wall at home, and I found someone to do it for you. We had a drink together afterwards, and you lost two fog balls to me while playing cards. Have you forgotten? It’s better now, I’ve mutated. I
Did it start mutating after playing the cards, or did it mutate while playing?"
The male evolutionist with long dreadlocks was so embarrassed that he didn't want to raise his eyes. He just whispered: "I know you haven't mutated, and I'm not saying you..."
Batou De seemed to have caught what he had been looking for and immediately said: "From all aspects of the situation now, ordinary people are the victims. How can it make sense to call the missing or dead people themselves the murderers?
We usually live together and cooperate with each other, and no one can be missing the other. Without them, let alone maintenance and construction, we would have difficulty even drinking water and eating. Without us and our abilities, ordinary people cannot resist the fallen species, and it will be difficult for them to do anything.
There is no such thing as life in the mountains. We are one, if there is a problem, how can we start with our own people first?"
What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and he was worthy of being in this profession, with a sincere tone and sincere words. As expected, everyone was quickly persuaded and appeased, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while.
"I, I can't believe that they are really mutated..." The female evolver just now changed her words in embarrassment. "There are a lot of gossips recently, well, I don't know who to believe."
"Of course not," the middle-aged woman said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, go to my place for a meal and see if the mutated thing can cook the meal as well as me."
The female evolver was even more embarrassed, and smiled and said "Okay" - Lin Sanjiu glanced around everyone, but noticed that the old man with a beard just touched the middle-aged woman's arm.
I glanced at him twice, as if he was a little confused.
The middle-aged woman also felt his gaze and looked back at him in confusion; the bearded uncle came back to his senses and smiled at her.
"Everyone, rest first. We obviously have something that hunts humans here," Batou De said. He glanced at Zhong Qing with a warning look before continuing: "Let the evolvers handle this matter. If
If you are not sure about your personal safety, you can also find an evolved person to accompany you first."
"It would be great if a system could be arranged." Uncle Beard's brain was not slow and he was immediately inspired: "For example, let's say an evolver is paired with two or three ordinary people. In this way, both parties can be supervised and protected.
Don't worry..."
"This is a good idea. We can discuss it on the radio tomorrow." Seeing that the situation did not escalate, Batou De was obviously relieved and said, "Now you can go back and rest."
When everyone dispersed, they were still discussing in low voices in twos and threes; Batou De frowned and thought alone, standing still for a while. The bearded uncle didn't leave, as if he was waiting for someone to say a few words to Batou De alone.
Chance, after everyone had dispersed, he coughed and cleared his throat.
Batou De glanced at him. "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little worried that today's incident will be spread out." The bearded uncle glanced at the ground - Apu's head had been put into the bag by Batou De, and the ground was empty. "I have always believed that honesty
It is the best policy, and the truth is the best defense against rumors. If we let everyone spread it by word of mouth, no one knows how it will be spread. You have done a lot for Fanjia City, and everyone believes in you... Can you please come tomorrow?
How about telling the incident in its entirety on the show? It will reassure everyone."
Although he is an ordinary person, his knowledge is not bad; Batou De listened to it and nodded repeatedly. The two discussed a few details and the matter was settled.
When the uncle left, Badou De's brows and eyes were filled with sadness. After he blocked "Hawaii" with a rope to prevent anyone from approaching, he called Lin Sanjiu and Zhong Qing and said, "Let's go to the wall."
Let's see if there are any clues on the other side. I don't know if the family next door has been affected, and they can't hear anything."
He was obviously not satisfied with Zhong Qing. On the way there, he ordered the latter several times to stop talking nonsense: "You can tell me in private about your unfounded speculations. Why is it necessary to do it in front of ordinary people?"
explain?"
As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to resist the anxiety and pressure in his heart, so he suddenly exhaled and wiped his face vigorously.
"You may not understand what it means to me...but I hope you can pay attention to it for my sake."
Zhong Qing nodded silently.
It seems that Batou De is really wholeheartedly maintaining Fanjia City - in the apocalyptic world, this is really a rare and strange mentality; no matter how well maintained, people will be transported fourteen months later
If you leave, even if you can get a visa for walking in the clouds, who knows if you can still use it alive, and what's the point of maintaining it?
Or is he just like me, he can only feel alive when he is with his friends? Lin Sanjiu thought to herself that if she was lucky enough to connect all her friends to Exodus, she would definitely be like Batou De.
In this way, let's worry about everyone's affairs every day.
She really wished she had the opportunity to worry like this.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she would ever see that day again in her life: everyone would live together on a spaceship, talk and laugh, play cards, quarrel, and vote to decide the next destination... It was almost her most distant dream that was unlikely to be realized.
.
When her dream was still a dream, she was willing to help Batou De so that he could continue to chat, drink, and make broadcasts with his friends and companions in Fanjia City, which belonged to him. When he walked into the city road, he received
Chewing gum handed to me by passers-by.
Many of the people who had gathered near Apu's house and then dispersed lived on both sides of this section of the city road. As the group of three people walked along the city road, they also saw several people who had just appeared.
Familiar faces couldn't sleep at this moment, so Batou De received a lot of greetings along the way.
The middle-aged woman was standing next to a shelf stacked with sundries, talking to a few neighbors. When a few people passed by, Lin Sanjiu remembered her previous glance; she couldn't help but feel like the bearded uncle,
His eyes turned on the middle-aged woman's arms.
What did the bearded uncle see? Now it seems that her arms wrapped in gray sleeves are normal, and they move left and right as she speaks. There is nothing confusing about her.
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Lin Sanjiu walked over; he happened to see the male evolver with dreadlocks talking quietly to another person. His house seemed to have a special item - an iron
The green barrel - one side of the city road was crowded. When he saw Lin Sanjiu and his group, he immediately stopped talking, nodded and said hello.
Lin Sanjiu heard clearly. His last interrupted sentence was, "How long has it been since the Fallen Seeds came up in Fanjia City..." She didn't know what he was going to say in the second half of the sentence. She just paid attention.
It's one o'clock.
Those who chat with dreadlocks are also evolved people. Those who chat with middle-aged women are ordinary people.
She discovered it, and Badou De must have discovered it too: at this time, there was no evolver talking to an ordinary person on this section of the city road.
Batou De looked solemn and didn't say a word. He continued to lead the two of them forward. In front of them was a break in the ceiling. There was usually a ladder under the break to make it easier for ordinary people to get up and down. When they were about to climb up the ladder,
As we were going up, someone in the city road whispered "Ah".
This "ah" sound was very subtle, but somehow it made the three people stop suddenly.
It was neither frightened nor excited, but rather a sound that subconsciously slipped out of the throat when seeing something incomprehensible - just like the bewildered look of the bearded uncle.
When Lin Sanjiu turned her head, she happened to see the middle-aged woman standing under the left wall stretch out her hand, as if she was tired from standing and looking for support to lean on her body. Her arm naturally crossed the ten-meter-wide city wall.
Dao, pressed against the wall on the right.
The evolutionary man sitting under the wall on the right was combing his hair. He looked up at the arm above him and the comb fell from his hand.
