The world enters the age of mythology.

"As for exploring manpower... hey, think about it again."

"If the relevant laboratory is really thousands of kilometers deep into the mainland... Maybe we have to give up. I hope it is closer to the coastline, the closer the better."

Lao Huang sighed in his heart, and he also knew that now is no longer the era of devotion and sacrifice.

Although the people in the Sea of ​​Clouds are more able to endure hardships after experiencing the disaster of the doomsday.But everyone has experienced the baptism of the Internet information age, and there are very few people who are really willing to dedicate themselves...

Few people are willing to do a task with a mortality rate as high as [-]%, or even [-]%.

……

Time passed slowly, and the translation work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

And the research on the anatomy of the monster's corpse and the white mist is also proceeding in an orderly manner... The weird nature of the X element is enough for biologists to study for a long, long time.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the second week since the expedition team withdrew to the base camp, the white mist has not dissipated, and the Yunhai has also maintained a high alert state.Lu Yiming has been busy making the rune knife.Using the penetrating nature of the rune knife, stabbing the monster's core can instantly kill it, so it is necessary to be fully prepared as much as possible.

For ordinary people, life is pretty much the same as usual. Except that the military control has not been lifted, everything else is the same as before. ... At most, the number of boardings on deck has decreased.

They also heard about the accident that happened to the first expedition, and they were very concerned about when the more than 300 unfortunate people would really recover.

Guo Weiqiang was the first survivor to wake up from a coma.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and the sunlight by the window shone in, warm.

My head is still a little confused, groggy, and I can't remember things.

"Oh... so hungry! Why are you so hungry! I really want to eat!"

But he soon discovered that his arms were thicker, looked at the fat on his stomach, and touched his fat face, and couldn't help feeling sad...

"Who the hell is this?! I couldn't have transmigrated into a fat man!"

Guo Weiqiang thought wildly in his head and looked in the mirror.

"Hey, Guo Weiqiang... Can you still talk? Do you recognize yourself? Do you recognize me?" After a while, several medical staff rushed over, and Lu Yiming followed after getting the news. behind these doctors.

Guo Weiqiang, as a soldier under his command, just woke up from a coma, so he still had to visit him out of reason.

"Captain Lu... will... yes. What's the matter with me? Why am I getting fat?" Guo Weiqiang asked quickly, and he stood up from the hospital bed, suddenly feeling very tall.

His original height of 1.8 meters has now abruptly risen to two meters, and the belly on his stomach is bigger and more pregnant.

"What... what's going on?"

Seeing that his mental state is still normal, everyone feels a little relieved.

Lu Yiming scolded angrily: "Nonsense, can you not get fat if you eat so much at one time? At that time, you were told to eat less, and you ate so much crazily! Why can't you bear it so much? If you don't die, you're already Very good."

"Physical and psychological tests first!"

"Oh... I'm still a little hungry." Guo Weiqiang also recalled the story that happened that day.

"Hold back your hunger. If you eat any more, you will die."

After some inspections, Guo Weiqiang's physical condition was simply beyond imagination. He became a very flexible fat man, and he was able to run 3000 meters in less than 8 minutes!

Do [-] pull-ups at once without panting!

This shows that his physical fitness has indeed not declined, but has increased by a large margin.

"3000 minutes for 8 meters...you don't seem to be so good before, kid? This is an athlete level!" Lu Yiming swallowed, and he remembered some of Professor Huang's remarks.

The x element... this is indeed an evolution!

A rapid evolution at the physical level.

Anyway, Lu Yiming himself can't run 3000 meters in less than 8 minutes. This result is really good, and the world record is only 7 minutes and 20 seconds.Even in the entire Yunhai army, there are only a few superhuman superpowers who can do this.

"I don't know! It feels very relaxed, haha, and I'm so tall now, will my mother be scared when she sees me?" Guo Weiqiang stood there with a "hehehe" smirk.

This is the result he just got out of the hospital bed. If he recovers a bit and trains for a while, he might be able to run faster.

It is even possible to PK with Shi Dayong.

Thinking of breaking the world record, the whole person seems to be optimistic.

Of course, the side effects brought about by this evolution are great... His overeating problem is difficult to correct at once. Once he starts eating, he can't stop at all, and there is even a possibility of aggressive food protection tendencies.The brain loses its mind when eating, and the more you eat, the more you eat.

This is no longer a purely psychological problem, but also has a certain degree of physical nature.

"I'm hungry... Really hungry! I feel very hungry all day long. I especially want to eat eggs, noodles or rice. I also want to eat beef and pork."

"Eat you ghost, hungry!"

But as long as you eat too much, the number of crystals around the heart will increase rapidly.In the end, he still has a certain probability, unable to reserve so much energy, and forcefully spit out his heart.

A person who loses his heart naturally cannot survive.

Chapter 175 Genes and Memes

"You can't restrain yourself a little bit. Where's the willpower? Where is the willpower?" Lu Yiming was so angry that he faced this tall fat man with a gluttonous expression on his face.

As long as he holds an apple and dangles in front of him, the fat man can't bear it at all, his mouth overflows, and he becomes a little crazy, just like a dog who has been hungry for several days when he sees meat and bones...

Faced with Lu Yiming's reprimand, Guo Weiqiang was obedient and submissive: "No, Captain Lu, I can't control it at all... Once I eat, I can't control my mouth, as if I'm hungry. And now I'm really hungry, I also know that this is wrong. Hey, what should I do!"

"Do something else, divert attention, control food portions. Right now we don't have a medical solution."

A medical expert who followed said: "The special crystals around his heart urgently need more energy for growth, so they will urge him to overeat. This is no longer a mental illness, but an instinctive one." Physiological phenomenon."

"His current gastrointestinal digestion ability is much stronger than before, so he feels hungry."

"In other words, the appearance of this crystal has changed his behavior. Whether this change in behavior is reversible, we still don't know. Perhaps with the advancement of technology and the mining of more relevant data, can treat this.

Lu Yiming frowned, this troublesome disease is really very difficult.

He turned his head and said to Guo Weiqiang: "Forget it, you can stay here for a while. Going out is also causing trouble."

Human behavior patterns are influenced by genes and memes.

Genes, that is, the innate physiological instincts of human beings, include the two main lines of survival and reproduction. Survival includes eating, drinking, pulling, and spreading, and reproduction includes instinctive actions in various aspects such as fertility and aesthetics.

Humans are born to like food, men like beautiful women, women like handsome guys, these are all determined by genes.

And meme is the unit of cultural information inheritance, for example, the law stipulates that certain behaviors are prohibited, and morality stipulates that a normal person must respect the old and love the young, etc.

These patterns of human behavior are all part of the meme.Different countries have different cultures, and there are subtle differences in the way society operates. Human beings in some places believe that individual interests are greater than collective interests, and people in some places believe that collective interests are greater than freedom.

That's the power of memes.

Genes and memes regulate every aspect of human behavior.Therefore, human beings living in the world will never be able to realize the true "great freedom", otherwise they will not be human, and they will all become unreasonable lunatics.

Hearing that he would be imprisoned here and starved, although Guo Weiqiang was a little reluctant, he could only reluctantly accept it.

"...Then I am hopeless? As long as no one controls me, I will overeat? Then what should I do?!" The fat on Guo Weiqiang's face trembled.

Lu Yiming sighed and said: "...Maybe there are relevant research materials in this continent. The original residents here may have a solution... With our own research strength, it may take a long time to study the mystery. long time."

Although the Sea of ​​Clouds has some scientific research talents, compared with a civilization, it is still far from qualified.

In the next few days, it wasn't just Guo Weiqiang who had this situation. As the remaining 300 survivors woke up one by one, they all had similar overeating situations.

Especially those who are particularly fat, as long as they smell the aroma of food, they will immediately lose their minds and become aggressive to a certain extent.

There is no way, for this kind of guy who can't control himself, he can only be locked in the safe house all day long.

As long as they don't give them too much to eat, they appear to be mentally normal.

The rehabilitation of these people has become a big and difficult problem.

……

"Human beings are too weak...both physically and mentally, they are all too weak."

After Ding Yuan learned about this, he privately gathered a few superpowers and held a meeting: "Everyone, through the scientific research of this accident, we can see that a small storm above the Yang River can make us all off."

"We can't maintain this state of military alert all the time, we have to breathe the air outside sooner or later."

"We were able to escape the white mist this time because it has color and can be seen by the eyes. But what if it is something that cannot be seen or smelled next time? Our overall immunity is too weak. "

"So, we must seize every possible opportunity to improve ourselves... It may take some time to translate the documents, but no matter what, we need to have a certain amount of manpower to go deep into this continent and go to the second exploration More classified information."

After hearing this news, the faces of everyone in the conference room were not very good-looking.

The situation on this continent is too dangerous.

Horrific creatures born from meatballs are everywhere, all wandering, preying, and even killing each other.

Lu Yiming, Shi Dayong, Zhong Peng and other elite superpowers, it is already so difficult to kill one, and there is still a certain element of luck, and it is not too much to call it a narrow escape if they ventured deeper into the exploration again.

"What do you think?" Ding Yuan sat in the middle of the table and asked, "Is there anyone who volunteers to go?"

Zhong Peng coughed for a while, lowered his head, and did not answer.

He definitely doesn't want to.

At the beginning, he didn't know the disaster of this continent, and he was able to bite the bullet and explore, but now that he knows the truth...he really doesn't have such courage.

He was originally an otaku, and he didn't care much about the development of the whole society. Many things were driven by Lu Yiming.

"I think this plan is desirable. We must obtain relevant scientific and technological information... I am willing to go."

It was Shi Dayong who spoke, and most of the patients with binge eating disorder were soldiers under his command.No matter from which point of view, he had to take this risk.

Moreover, if he is unwilling to express his opinion, it is estimated that no one will.

"It still depends on the specific location of the laboratory. If it goes thousands of kilometers into the mainland, forget it. How many people go in and how many people die, our Yunhai can't bear such a big damage. If it's near the coastline, barely... still You can try it."

Lu Yiming's face was not very good-looking, so he said a few words.

In fact, he is not very willing in his heart... Even if the second exploration mission is for the whole group, what if his life is lost?

Lu Yiming is not the kind of saint who is selfless and dedicated, and his life must still come first.

"I agree with Lu Yiming's point of view." Liu Xuwei sat there in a daze, and he was not very willing... For him, the Yunhai is already a paradise, isn't it good to pick up girls every day?If you have to go to the depths of the mainland to fight monsters, it's an act of death!

Of course, if the reward is enough and the risk can be tolerated, he is actually okay.

Liu Xuwei was really too poor. Before the apocalyptic disaster, he was a rich second generation. He was used to extravagance and couldn't live a hard life.It is better to take risks than to live a life of poverty.

"I have no problem." Li Yao raised his hand and didn't say much. He and Shi Dayong are professional soldiers in the special forces, so they still have some sense of honor.

Ding Yuan can probably guess the psychological activities of everyone, except for the two professional soldiers, most of them have some thoughts in their hearts.

He sighed and said, "Don't worry about this matter, after all, it involves everyone's life safety... So, wait a little longer, wait for the final data deciphering results, and then we have to make some military preparations. Said Maybe after a while, this cloud of white mist will disperse directly, and this continent will enter a safe period again?"

"However, I still hope that you can be mentally prepared. The second expedition is not for other things, but for... our future!"

"Our Yunhai must become stronger in order to have a real future."

"If it really doesn't work...I myself can play."

At the end of this meeting, no definite results were discussed, and Lu Yiming's mood was not very good.

He also had some psychological burdens, so he and Zhong Peng took the elevator back to the 56th district under his jurisdiction with not-so-easy steps.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator door, he heard the greetings of "Captain Lu" and "Captain Zhong".

Obviously, people are full of respect for Lu Yiming and Zhong Peng who came back from the expedition.

"Captain Lu, how is Guo Weiqiang's treatment going?" As soon as he looked up, he saw Guo Weiqiang's mother.

"Oh, I'm back to my senses now...still in the hospital. But you can make a video call or something, it's no problem."

"That's good, that's good." The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Lu, this is the latest ripe melon, I'll give you one."

"Haha, no need, I don't need it."

For the people in District 56, the current quality of life is much better than when they first landed in the shelter, and the variety of food has become more abundant. If you have a little spare money, you can buy fresh chicken.

There are also vegetables and fruits that mature relatively quickly, such as strawberries, cantaloupe, etc., which have also been picked from the branches and can be easily purchased in supermarkets.

Some clothes made from the golden baby's silk have also started to be sold normally. This kind of clothes feel very good and are not easy to be stained with dirt. If you buy one, you can wear it for a year or two.

The only disadvantage is that the color and style are relatively monotonous, and there is no way to make it as colorful as before.

There are also various simple electronic games, which have also been produced. People can fight landlords online, play mahjong, and double button. There is no simpler way of entertainment than electronic games in the world.

Anyway, the service life of mobile phones is quite good, basically everyone has one.

For a high-quality mobile phone, in addition to the relatively fast battery degradation, as long as it does not get in water, it is not a problem to use it for five or six years. You don’t even have to worry too much about the battery degradation, just charge it a few times.

There are some private reserves of electronic products, at least in the past few years, there is no need to worry.
