He always thought that the second brother was either poisoned by some strange toxin or possessed by some fungus or some other parasitic organism.
"Do you think the second brother … is still alive?" The young man who was called "Old Seven" by him said slowly
The sound of broken bones is getting more and more from the tentacle group, which seems to be enjoying a feast …
I don’t know what Koran suddenly thought of a disgusting metaphor.
(Warning: If you are eating or have poor psychological endurance, please skip this paragraph.)
When Kelan just graduated from a public school, he lived in the slums for a short time-there was no private hygiene in the slums … Many slums were rebuilt from abandoned industrial areas, and the bottom of those plots was not connected with water and sewage pipes.
People who live there have to go to a special public toilet if they want a toilet … and the public toilet is called a toilet, and there is another nickname called "cheap protein culture tank" … People’s feces will be collected to cultivate a genetically modified maggot, which can grow up to the thumb thickness of an adult male and more than ten centimeters long. It is a very cheap and high-quality source of protein.
Kelan once "had the good fortune" to see the scene that the workers would change the culture tank. The excrement piled up at the bottom of the tank was densely covered with a layer of white fat maggots. They wriggled, squeezed each other and devoured those filth greedily … Because there were so many maggots, Kelan hardly saw the excrement crushed by them …
That scene made Kelan retch for three whole days and didn’t touch the food made of artificial protein for a week-even though those food labels said that protein originated from a chemical synthetic car.
And in the sight of these are "eating" the second brother’s body tentacles naturally remind Kelan of those fat white … dung sea crazy maggots.
The camera turn back to that mirror image presented by memento mori.
"You … you …" Another rider choked. "You, you, you" you couldn’t say a complete sentence for a long time.
"This thing is devouring the second brother’s body … who do you think its target will be when it eats up the second brother?" Old seven constantly adjusted the hunting crossbow in his breathing hand and changed the aiming point back and forth-he didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger because he didn’t care about his second brother’s life and death simply because he determined what the weakness of this tentacle was.
"I … this thing … but … but …" Another rider said incoherently. "Why don’t you … hand it over to the supervisor? I … Let’s leave this place first? "
"Do you think regulators have time to take care of our affairs?"
Chapter one hundred and seventy The bad weather
"What regulators don’t have time to tube? Not only this competition … but also the daily operation of the whole nest needs to be coordinated by the supervisor. If she can’t even do this kind of thing well, I think she can just throw it into the incinerator and get a new one. "
The supervisor in his mouth obviously refers to the manager "Nieto". From his tone, it is not difficult to find that although the manager’s limited level is level 2, which is one level higher than those senior residents who are limited to level 3, they don’t seem to be in awe of the manager … It seems that it is no secret that the manager is a super bio-computer that has been manufactured, at least the senior residents’ department.
"No, you didn’t hear me … I mean now … I’m afraid not only this game, but the whole nest is probably in chaos," said Lao Qiyi sullenly.
"Old seven … what are you talking about?" Another rider paused. "You can’t think that the whole nest is in chaos just because the supervisor and the gamekeeper don’t respond to our news … If this really happened, the whole nest would be in darkness now, right? But you see the simulated sun is still on above us, and the air system is constantly pumping fresh air into the nest … not to mention the emergency will inevitably sound the alarm broadcast. "
"Actually, I felt something was wrong the other day … Have you been to the city?" Old seven hands hunting crossbow aim never moved from the "second brother" body. He kept staring at that group and almost wrapped the whole body of "second brother" into the tentacle group and said slowly.
"Er, I’ve been there … but it was several years ago. The guy at Aziz’s said to take me to the city for fun. You know, that kind of fun …"
"I mean recently," Lao Qi interrupted him.
"Recently? I haven’t been there. Why do I often go to places like that? To tell the truth, I don’t want to go to the second time when I have been to Nale. I doubt that women in urban areas don’t take a bath once a month, "said the man with a face of disgust.
I’m afraid it’s not that I don’t take a bath once a month … It’s very good to take a bath once a year according to the living conditions in the city … Kelan thought to himself.
"I just went to the city last week to check the recent drop in the output of the food production line … and then I found a problem," said Lao Qi.
"What’s the problem?"
"The population of the city has decreased a lot … and the news was blocked by the manager. Even my entourage and I were asked to keep it secret. I went to see my father after I came back, but he obviously knew about it, but he also asked me not to leak it and asked me to go to the city as little as possible."
"Population decline? It’s not all going to the bottom nest, is it? But isn’t the living conditions in that place worse than those in the city? If there is a shortage of people, just pick a batch from the bottom nest. " The other said suddenly, "Er, it’s not the manager who sent all the people in the city to the surface, is it?"
"The ground exploration teams are all made up of residents in the bottom nest, even if they are regarded as one-time consumption, it is difficult to consume them in such a short time … After all, the elevator transportation capacity is limited, and the ground action equipment for explorers has always been in short supply. Without equipment support, it is not reasonable to send people to the surface to live even for a day." Lao Qi continued, "What’s more, when I went to the city twice for half a month, the urban population was reduced by half …"
"What did you say? The urban population has been reduced by half? ！” Another person immediately exclaimed, "I also said that the population is reduced to death, that is, one or two percent … half of the population. How is that possible? ！”
"Nothing is impossible … this is still my conservative estimate … more."
"It won’t be some kind of plague city broadcast? The father will let you try not to go to the city? " In addition, the man seems to have a little luck tentatively asked.
"I didn’t receive a report with the plague … I ignored the warnings of the regulators and privately asked several urban residents …"
"What about the results?" Another person hurriedly asked-not only did he want to know that Koran, who was staring at this scene, was also appetizing.
"They told me that those people … all disappeared inexplicably, and because of this, people in the city are worried … There is already a big gap for workers in the factory, and several assembly lines are in a state of stagnation …" Old Seven suddenly stopped for a second before he squeezed four words out of his teeth. "Is it finished?"
"What’s finished? Who has finished eating? " In addition, the man was first one leng and then immediately reacted and suddenly turned to look at the "second brother"
Their "second brother" has disappeared … not even a bone residue … or even a trace of blood left on the mechanical horse’s back. If it is clean, even a hair can’t be found on the original "second brother". All the equipment is scattered, and the lichen is torn into countless pieces, just like passing it through a meat grinder.
The mass has become larger than human, and the tentacle mass tumbled to the ground. First, it touched the body of No.32, and then it reached the body of the giant saber-toothed tiger.
But the tentacle group didn’t care about the two bodies. Instead, they turned to riding two people-
Although there is no such concept as "face" in this tentacle root, even the front and the back can’t be distinguished, whether it is riding a horse or from the emperor’s perspective, Kelan has the same feeling-this tentacle group is facing the two people … and they are looking at each other.
This tentacle doesn’t seem to be interested in the body … After eating the "second brother", it is obvious that there are only two jobs in the field as the target.
"Go to hell, monster!" The man still prevented Lao Qi from firing a crossbow at "Second Brother". This time, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
