NO.187 The Calm Before the Storm
? 12 hours later, Zhang Heng woke up with Alpha's call. It was the next morning. The sun came in through the dusty windows, and the room looked a little dim.
On the Radiation Plane, the air is full of radioactive dust and other pollutants, which can accumulate in a thick layer within a few days. Therefore, the entire Stellar City has not been built for a long time, and it has been covered with a gray color.
dong dong!
There was a knock on the door outside the door, Zhang Heng said softly, please come in, and immediately two synthetic people pushed the dining cart and walked in.
Zhang Heng glanced at the food on the dining car, one was black mochi, another was double-headed beef steak and milk, and some unrecognizable salads made of vegetables. These foods were placed in The outside world may be enough to make those poor scavengers fold their hands to thank God, but putting them in front of Zhang Heng will only turn Zhang Heng's appetite.
"Didn't I bring a lot of food?" Zhang Heng frowned.
"Sir, the food you brought has been eaten." Alpha replied.
"What, so much food has been eaten?" Zhang Heng was stunned. There were only seven hundred people in the academy, not including synthetics. He took several tons of real food to supply everyone, but now we can see even more food. , also can not stop the people let go to eat.
"Send a notice to those old men, saying that it is better to eat less high-calorie food." Zhang Heng shook his head, he was really afraid that those old men would eat too much and get diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, cerebral thrombosis, etc. Too bad it's a big loss.
In order to prevent a similar situation, it seems that it is time to use T-2 for scientists on these radiation planes, and then replace with a new body.
Arrange these plans into his mind in different categories. Zhang Heng's brain operates like a precise supercomputer. The steps of each plan are simulated in his brain little by little, such as when to return to reality, and after returning to reality. What needs to be done, and then what needs to be brought back to the radiation... These are all arranged in an instant, and the process is extremely clear.
"By the way, how are the four people I brought?" Zhang Heng asked suddenly.
"They didn't have the bacterial infection you mentioned. After blood test, except for the high number of white blood cells due to the radiation value, they have no symptoms. After an injection of Xiaofenning, they have recovered now."
"That's good, tell the Aerodynamics Department to speed up the production of ten double-sized Falcon fighter jets during this time, and I will come to receive the goods when I come back next time." Zhang Heng nodded and arranged for Alpha to manage the Star City and the academy. After everything, and then shuttle again, back to the real world.
In the real world,
Less than three days had passed, and as soon as he came back, Yuehua contacted him.
"Your Excellency Commander."
"Yuehua, I need more supplies this time. You can inform Zhao Qing and Amubu in India to let them enter the second round of various acquisitions." Zhang Heng said immediately.
"Understood, how much capital are you going to use to acquire this time?"
"Five billion dollars." Zhang Heng said decisively, "It's not just India, tell Joshua and Stanney that I need a lot of materials, even ultra-high-precision machine tools and industrial assembly lines. They buy them. It doesn’t need to be shipped, I will pick it up in person. In terms of remuneration, it’s good to use a premium of 1%.”
After that, Zhang Heng also distributed the adaptive evolution enzyme and the design of the spacecraft to the Hive Laboratory, and set them as technical materials with a safety level of level 1. Only members of level B4 and above can access research.
After doing all this, Zhang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then finished the disinfection in the negative pressure tent and walked out of the isolation room.
Returning to his room in the hive, Zhang Heng suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said, "Yuehua, project the scene in B6-20."
The next second, the wall in front of Zhang Heng turned into a huge 8K high-definition screen, which was divided into more than a dozen pictures. These were the cameras in the No. 20 laboratory, and the position of the No. 5 camera was just right to see. For most people, Zhang Heng stretched out his hand and lightly tapped, and the screen number 5 was immediately enlarged, occupying the entire screen.
On the screen, Xu Haoyu, Gao Dequan and other seven people were lying weakly on the ground. The ground was made of metal, cold and hard. You can imagine how painful it is to sleep on this kind of floor. Especially this group of rich second-generation living in pampering.
However, although everyone looked pale and malnourished, there was no cannibalism. At most, two people's cheeks were blue and purple, and it seemed that there had been physical conflicts before.
"Your Excellency Commander, after you left the day before yesterday, Gao Dequan and Hua Yi had a quarrel over drinking water, but they were stopped by others. Everyone also agreed to work together and hold each other in a group to wait for rescue." Yue Hua explained in a timely manner, "Do you need to watch the replay?"
"No, I'm not in the mood to waste time on them." Zhang Heng's eyes showed a hint of playfulness, "At first, the group was for sure, because at that time their sanity had not been defeated by hunger and cold, but after another day or two, Maybe not."
"Can cannibalism really happen? Sixty hours have passed now, and I can sense their brain waves. Except for hunger and anxiety, they have no urge to eat people." Yuehua was a little unconvinced, " I think it's more likely that everyone will starve to death in the end."
"No, Yuehua, you are wrong." Zhang Heng sighed, "Have you heard of 'calm before the storm'? Now they do restrain themselves, but when the source of the conflict cannot be resolved, this restraint is like It is a continuously pressurized volcano, and the more suppressed it is, the more earth-shattering the energy that will erupt in the future will be.”
"You don't know enough about how strong the desire to survive in life is, let alone cannibalism. When faced with death, many people can react beyond your imagination." Zhang Heng sneered, "I can guarantee that, Forty-eight hours at most, the first dead will appear. Then, like dominoes, their humanity and reason will collapse in an instant under the impact of starvation and contradiction!"
It seemed to correspond to Zhang Heng's words. On the big screen, Xu Haoyu looked pale and stood up staggeringly. He looked at the people lying on the ground not far away with some disgust, and moved vain steps towards the tap in the corner. move away.
When he was next to the faucet, he subconsciously looked at the kitchen knife with the iron chain welded on the table next to him, and then turned his head to look at everyone defensively, only to see that everyone was still bowing their heads, and no one looked at him. side.
Only then did Xu Haoyu feel relieved, he bent down slightly, pointed his mouth at the cold tap water, and drank it.
However, he didn't see that at the moment when he bent down to drink water, everyone raised their heads in unison, with wolf-like eyes flashing in their eyes... (To be continued.)
