The Return of Cambrian Period
Chapter 19
Cong Xia was startled, "You, your father?" But he just heard from Xiao Wang, who is Commander Cao?
Cheng Tianbi said: "You change your clothes and go with me."
"Ah? Why am I... Oh, yes." He remembered that he and Cheng Tianbi were still bound within a four-meter range.The thought of meeting Cheng Tianbi's father soon made his little heart pound.
On the way, Cong Xia asked Cheng Tianbi in a low voice, "Tianbi, your father...is it General Cao Zhixian?"
"Hmm." Cheng Tianbi seemed reluctant to continue this topic.
Cong Xia clicked his tongue.He didn't pay much attention to current affairs and politics in the past, but men have a military complex, so he paid a lot of attention to the army. Cao Zhixian is a general, the commander of the 27th Heavy Armed Army Group Army, and has at least [-] modern heavy troops.No wonder Cheng Tianbi didn't worry about his parents at all. After the end of the world, the regime must decline and the military will dominate. To control military power is to control the power. How can a person of Cao Zhixian's level be in danger of life.
Cong Xia didn't know why, and felt a little lost, "Tianbi, so your family is so awesome."
Cheng Tian said blankly, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Ah?" Cong Xia noticed that Cheng Tianbi was not at all happy to see his father, and he didn't have the same surname, I'm afraid...
They came to a fully enclosed meeting room, "Please wait a moment, the commander will be there soon."
The two sat in the conference room, Cong Xia was a little nervous.
Soon, the door was pushed open.A tall man walked in with his head held high, his eyebrows looked a bit like Cheng Tianbi's, and he had the same imposing manner.
Cheng Tianbi looked at him calmly, and gave him a military salute, "General Cao."
Cong Xia stammered, "Ah, Cao, Hello, General Cao."
Cao Zhixian's sharp eyes swept over the two of them: "Tianbi, do you need to be so polite to me?"
Cheng Tianbi put down his hand and said nothing.
Cao Zhixian looked at Cong Xia, "Is this Professor Cong's nephew?"
Cong Xia nodded, "Talk, I'll go out and wait." After he went out, he found that all four guards at the door were looking at him.
Cong Xia said: "I'll wait for him here."
A guard said, "Comrade, let me take you to the rest area over there."
Cong Xia smiled wryly and said, "No, believe it or not, the people inside and I are tied up because of something."
The guard was baffled.
"Just let me stand here."
The guard didn't say anything and continued to stand guard.
Cong Xia thought of the father and son, they not only look alike, but also have similar temperament, they are both serious people.
Tianbi didn't call him "Dad" when they met, but actually called him General...
Not sure what they are talking about.Cong Xia became more and more curious about the content of the conversation between the two, do you want to listen to it?I just need to strengthen my sense of hearing, but it's not very good... just, just listen a little bit.
Cong Xia couldn't hold back anymore, she concentrated her energy on the auditory nerve, and the meeting room with excellent sound insulation suddenly became useless.
Cao Zhixian said: "I have been looking for you for the ten months since you disappeared, why didn't you notify me as soon as you came back?"
Cheng Tianbi said flatly: "There are still tasks to deal with."
"Don't you just want to see Lao Guo? I'll see him without looking up. You'd rather seek help from outsiders than come to your own father?"
"Professor Cong has made arrangements."
Cao Zhixian sighed, "Tianbi, do you know how much I worried about you during this period? How many times have I persuaded you not to join the Special Warfare Ninth Division, and all the most tricky and dangerous missions were carried out, but there was no name. surname, the file will be sealed forever, and even the military rank cannot be announced, what are you planning? If you came to me in the first place, you should be a lieutenant now."
Cheng Tianbi didn't speak.
"However, you also strive for pride. You are now a natural force evolutionary person, which is much more important than any military rank. You are indeed my son."
Cheng Tianbi's voice was calm, "General Cao, you know that all mutants have lost their fertility, right?"
This time it was Cao Zhixian's turn to be silent.
"No one can continue your bloodline. I didn't want to before, and I can't now."
Cao Zhixian knocked on the table, "The problem of fertility is related to the reproduction of all human beings. I think the Academy of Sciences will solve it."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Cao Zhixian sighed heavily, "Tianbi, after all these years, can you still not let go of the past?"
The whole day was silent.
Cong Xia could imagine the expression on his face now, it looked extremely indifferent, as if nothing could beat his heart.Cong Xia didn't know what happened between the father and son, but he could guess that it was probably a family drama.
After a while, Cheng Tianbi said in a low voice: "The people from Nine Offices, are you still there?"
Cao Zhixian said: "After the earthquake, the Ninth Division was sent as the third batch of support to Qinghai. Like the previous two groups, there was no news. The Ninth Special Warfare Division no longer exists. The original three armies were reduced and merged into two, one is my 27th Army, the other is Xu Ying's 14th Army, and the remaining old units of the former Special Warfare Department have been merged into my command."
Cong Xia imagined Cheng Tianbi's current mood, and felt distressed.
"Tianbi, the current situation is very good for us father and son. Xu Ying does not have a son who evolved from natural forces. You have a certain friendship with Professor Cong. Together with Professor Cong, we will be able to control the situation in Beijing. Let Xu Ying and Zhuang Yu, the group of radicals, dominate the future of mankind."
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"You have just arrived in Beijing for a day, and you don't understand the situation. I will talk to you when you understand."
Then, Cong Xia heard the sound of something being placed on the table.
Cheng Tianbi said: "What is this?"
Cao Zhixian, "You can use the new currency. However, the current currency equivalent is not gold, but energy."
Cong Xia was startled.Beijing already has a new currency?What does it mean that the equivalent circulation is energy?Does it mean that the country has turned its gold reserves into energy reserves?But what energy?Where does energy come from?
At this moment, the door opened, and Cao Zhixian walked out first.
Cong Xia looked at him nervously.
Cao Zhixian nodded at him, "Little comrade, what's your name?"
"Cong Xia, the summer of summer."
"Thank you for taking care of Tianbi on the way."
"No, he is actually taking care of us."
Cao Zhixian smiled lightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of each other. You guys have a good rest." His expression turned cold suddenly, "You don't have to worry about the reward order. If you knew that the reward was my son Cao... Humph , nonsense."
Cao Zhixian left with the guards.
Cong Xia walked into the meeting room, and there was a thick stack of banknotes in front of Cheng Tianbi. He picked it up and looked at it. The banknotes were printed with a panorama of the National Academy of Sciences, with a face value of one thousand. "What is this?"
Cheng Tianbi said lightly: "Didn't you hear everything?"
Cong Xia was embarrassed, "Tianbi, how do you know?"
Cheng Tianbi said: "I know you will definitely eavesdrop."
Cong Xia looked at him with a guilty conscience, "Tianbi, I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this..."
"It's okay, if you want to know about me, I will tell you."
Cong Xia said softly: "When you want to say something, I will listen with all my ears."
"Ah."
Cong Xia fiddled with the money in his hand, "Such a thick stack, is it worth 20 or [-] yuan?" Although he didn't know the real value of the money, even in the civilized age, he didn't have [-] yuan in his bank card.
"I don't know, go ask Professor Cong."
"Okay, the second uncle said yesterday that he wanted to have dinner with us."
The two walked out of the conference room, and Xiao Wang was still waiting for them in the lobby: "What do you want to do next?"
"We want to see Professor Cong."
"Professor Cong went to a meeting early this morning, and may not be back for a while."
"Oh. By the way, what happened to Brother Liu's parents?"
"The people from the military department have been sent to look for it, and I will follow up."
"That's good."
"Do you want to go outside? Dr. Zhuang Xiao is going to take Abu to the beauty salon."
"Doctor Zhuang?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "In order to distinguish him from Dr. Zhuang Yu, so..."
Cong Xia smiled: "Alright, we are just like country folks entering the city, everything is new, take us out."
Ten minutes later, the other four people also went downstairs. They all changed into new clothes, and Liu Fengyu even sprayed on the perfume he dreamed of. When he saw them, he said happily: "My house has not been damaged, listen to it!" Experienced people say that generally if the house is not damaged, the chances of survival for the owner are very high.”
Cong Xia smiled and said, "Great, Brother Liu, we will definitely find your parents!"
Xiao Wang said: "The biggest difficulty now is that we can't find it openly, because Mr. Liu has a special status, and many people know him. We are afraid that people who are interested will take advantage of this...so now we can only investigate privately."
Cong Xia nodded, "We understand."
Zhuang Yao looked at the thing in Cheng Tianbi's hand, "What is this?"
Cheng Tianbi handed it to him, "Money."
"A new currency, interesting." He asked Xiao Wang, "How is the denomination calculated?"
"One thousand denominations of currency is equivalent to one gram of energy of any attribute."
"Where does the energy come from?"
Xiao Wang rubbed his head, "It's extracted from dead animals and plants."
Everyone was shocked. Zhuang Yao's original idea had come true. Beijing had already developed an instrument to absorb the energy of dead animals and plants, which possessed Cong Xia's "primary function."
But can energy also be materialized?
Cong Xia frowned and said, "What is energy like? Liquid? Solid? Gas? What can be done after extraction? Why use energy as the currency equivalent?"
Xiao Wang hesitated and said: "The extracted energy has been transformed into a liquid by the scientists, and this liquid can be directly injected by mutants to replenish energy."
Cong Xia pondered: "Wouldn't this method cause massacres?"
Xiao Wang smiled wryly: "It is forbidden to kill people to obtain energy, but it is very difficult to resist..."
Zhuang Yao said: "In order to restore social order, it is necessary to establish a currency system, and to establish a currency system, there must be a most suitable equivalent currency. It used to be a gold reserve, but now it is the most precious energy. This method actually It's reasonable, but after the implementation of this currency system, there will inevitably be 'poachers' who hunt and kill energy bodies, this is unavoidable, and there is no essential difference from killing people for money in the civilized age."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "No wonder, the people of the Dragon Blood Clan say that ordinary people are safe."
Xiao Wang sighed: "Ordinary people receive relief food regularly, never have enough to eat, and work at the lowest level. Their safety is exchanged for dignity, and their safety is very fragile. Although it is expressly forbidden here to kill each other, But when mutants kill ordinary people, no one cares. I am also an ordinary person, because my brother is a mutant guard here, so I can do a logistics job here, but it is already a job that countless people envy In fact, in this day and age, no one is safe."
Everyone was very panicked when they heard it.
When they came to the courtyard, Abu smelled them from a distance, and jumped up and down to rush over.
Zhuang Yao patted Abu, "Abu, I'll take you to take a bath."
Abu let out a happy "meow".
They walked towards the beauty salon. Along the way, passers-by on the street were all looking at them and talking about it.
Soon, they walked to a small stadium. There were two mutant pets standing in the stadium, and many mutants with wings were spraying water on them with water guns.
Deng Xiao looked at it with great interest, "Wow, this is how you take a bath."
They led Abu and walked over. The VIPs and huskies who had been taking a quiet bath were a little flustered. They were already very large, but they were half shorter than Abu.
A man with colorful butterfly wings flew over from a distance. The man had a handsome appearance, fair skin, and a bright smile on his face: "Hello, everyone, this is the [-]-meter puppet cat that I made an appointment for yesterday. Is it? Oh, this cat is so beautiful, but it is a little dirty, and I promise to wash it clean for your baby."
As soon as Abu saw him, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his claws to catch the butterfly, which made him run away in fright.
Xiao Wang said with a dry smile, "He is the owner of this beauty salon. Apart from being greedy for money and being a bit of a bitch, everything else is pretty normal."
They stopped Abramovich and walked into the stadium with it.
Cong Xia asked, "How much is it, please?"
Boss Butterfly patted his chest in shock: "It's the first time you come here, it's cheaper for you, one thousand."
Xiao Wang clicked his tongue, "One thousand? Ah Qing, you really dare to ask for it."
Ah Qing gave him a white look, "I am the only mutated pet grooming salon in Beijing. It provides services to high-end customers. Don't judge me with your mentality of 200 yuan a month."
Xiao Wang said depressedly, "I have two hundred and seven."
Zhuang Yao said: "One thousand is one thousand, wash it quickly."
A Qingchao Zhuang Yao blew a kiss, "The little handsome man is so refreshing." He glanced at the rest of the audience, "Oh, why are you guys more handsome than the other, no wonder they want to offer you rewards."
Several people's faces changed slightly.
Ah Qing smiled, "Why, it's not a secret. On the first day you entered the city, everyone in the city knew about it. Come on, guests, please pay first."
Cong Xia took out the money and handed it to him, Ah Qing took the money with a smile on his face, and clapped his hands at his staff, "Add more people here!"
Several mutants flew over and poured water on Abu with a water gun.
Abu was not used to it, he flicked his hair uncomfortably, his paws couldn't help but want to pounce on Aqing, his purple eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.
Ah Qing screamed in fright.
Zhuang Yao shouted: "Abu, don't move!"
Abu glanced at Zhuang Yao innocently, and really remained motionless.
Cong Xia laughed and said, "This Ah Qing is quite smart, to think of such a business."
"It's not enough to be smart, you have to have capital. He is the brother of one of the three iron guards of the six realms of the underworld."
"Six Paths of the Underworld...their boss is a human who evolved from natural forces of earth?"
Xiao Wang said: "That's right, that person seldom shows up, and his ability has only been shown once, but it is already very shocking."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"About four months ago, a large number of mutated ants suddenly appeared in Langfang. The military department entrusted this matter to Liudao Huangquan to solve it. I heard that after their boss Li Daoai left, the two blocks where the ants were infested, the ground sank ten times. centimeter."
Deng Xiao was surprised and said, "Wow, so powerful? What about other natural force evolutionists?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said: "Others, they are also very good people. For example, Yao Qianjiang, the boss of Jiujiang County, kills people invisible. I saw it with my own eyes. Sucked dry."
Cong Xia shivered, "This attack method is really scary.
"What about the boss of the Dragon Blood Clan?" Zhuang Yao asked with interest.
"The boss of the Dragon Blood Clan is the youngest among them, only in his early twenties. He is a genetically modified person. He was already a monster in the civilized age. He is said to be our country's secret weapon. If it weren't for the end of the world, I'm afraid we will live forever." I don’t know that there are such monsters in the world. The Dragon Blood Clan is the smallest of the four major gangs, it seems that there are only a few dozen people, but there are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and he has a lot of Dragon Blood people in his hand.” Xiao Wang touched Touching his chin, "However, he has a fatal weakness, and many people know it."
"What weakness?"
"Maybe he is young and listens to his father very much. The father and son are inseparable. The real leader of the Dragon Blood Clan is his father."
Cong Xia thought of the baby in Shan Ming's arms. Although the second uncle said that it was actually an adult, his image of the boss of the dragon blood clan was temporarily fixed on a one or two-year-old bare-bottomed baby covered in golden scales. Now that his image has improved, and hearing Xiao Wang say that he is clinging to his father, his impression of the Dragon Blood Clan is a bit funny.
Zhuang Yao then asked, "Where's the boss of the Fenglan Society?"
Xiao Wang curled his lips: "The boss of the Fenglan Club has a fierce personality and is very public. He has made many enemies in Beijing, but no one dares to provoke him. When a high-voltage lightning strikes, the gods have to explain."
Tang Yanqiu pondered: "It seems that these four gangs have their own merits, and it is hard to tell which one is more powerful."
Zhuang Yao laughed and said, "Now there are five."
The process of bathing Abu was quite long, and Abu got down on the ground out of boredom, and they also yawned.
At this time, Ah Qing flew over, "Guests, Abu's hair is too long, it has been lack of care for a long time, and it is so knotted that it can't be combed at all. Now that the weather is getting hot, it is easy to get fleas."
Zhuang Yao frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"
Ah Qing shrugged and said, "The best way is to shave off and grow back."
Deng Xiao blinked: "It would be... ugly if you shaved it off."
Liu Fengyu said nonchalantly: "Abu is a cat, how does it know that it looks ugly, shave it, it can still cool off."
Zhuang Yao said helplessly: "Then shave it." He walked towards Abu, and Abu rubbed his nose affectionately against him, and he stroked its wet hair, "Abu, they are going to shave your hair now, yes For your own good, it will grow out soon."
Abu was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly called out "meow", moved all four paws back, but the range of movement was very small, and looked at Zhuang Yao's face while moving, looking very struggling.
"Abu, you are obedient. You won't become bald, but the hair will be a little shorter. You may feel very hot in this weather. It will be comfortable if you cut it short."
Abu called out in a low voice, his amethyst-like eyes stared quietly at Zhuang Yao, and moved back a little, very resistant.
Zhuang Yao hugged Abu's nose, and said in a firm tone, "Abu, be obedient."
Abu let out a "meow" in aggrieved manner, lowered his head, and did not move.
Ah Qing and his staff came out carrying something like a plow.
Cong Xia said awkwardly, "This... what is it?"
"Custom-made hair remover." Ah Qing flew to Abu, swung the plow down, and pulled it, a large clump of white hair fell off Abu's body.
Cong Xia opened her mouth wide, looking at the bald spot on Abu's body, she couldn't bear it.
Abu "meowed" and buried his head in his chest until his fur was shaved clean, and he kept this position, refusing to raise his head.
Deng Xiao looked at Abu who was gradually losing his hair, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha Abu seems to have lost half of his weight, so it looks like this without hair, and the flesh is still pink, hahahahaha."
Zhuang Yao kicked him hard, "Don't laugh at it!"
Ah Qing said with a smile: "It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but new hair will grow in a few days, and I will come to take care of the hair regularly in the future."
Cong Xia touched Abu: "Abu, let's go back."
Abu was still lying on the ground with his face buried in his chest, motionless.
"Abu?"
Zhuang Yao also pushed it: "Abu, are you back, Abu?"
The two looked at each other, a little helpless.
Ah Qing touched his chin: "Oh, it has such a strong self-esteem..."
Zhuang Yao said softly: "Abu, you don't have to be so embarrassed, you are still very beautiful, let's go back."
Abu let out a very thin cry from his throat, which sounded extremely aggrieved. No matter how they persuaded him, he kept that posture, motionless.
Two hours passed without anyone touching it.
Cheng Tianbi became impatient, "Let's go back, it will follow by itself."
"What if it doesn't follow?"
"It's your cat, find a way."
"Of course it waits for it to figure it out."
"waste time."
Cong Xia said helplessly: "Why don't we go buy a fish for it."
Xiao Wang clapped his hands, "Buy fish? I know where there are fish, and I'll take you there."
Cheng Tianbi said: "You stay here to protect Zhuang Yao, and Liu Fengyu will go buy fish with us."
Xiao Wang stopped a dog-drawn cart on the street, paid the money, and the little local dog drove them to Shuichan Street.Xiao Wang said: "Actually, it's okay to call the people in Fishery Street to deliver the goods, but the professor told me to show you more about this place. I think it's better for you to go around in person."
Cong Xia smiled and said, "That's good, we really need to know more about this place, and we have a lot of questions to ask you."
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "You ask, I must tell the truth."
"I want to know the current situation in the city. For example, what organization is managing it, what rules the mutant organization operates under, what restrictions are there, what innovative inventions are there, what do Beijing's large population rely on for food, And, where are we heading?"
Xiao Wang scratched his head, "Let me answer one by one. The three largest forces in Beijing are the Military Department, the Academy of Sciences, and the Mutant Human Organization, and the Academy of Sciences and the Mutant Human Organization are both under the management of the Military Department. Among them, Commander Cao's 27th Group Army and the Mutant Human Organization Commander Xu's 14th Army is divided into two parts of the world and does not give in to each other. Therefore, the Academy of Sciences and the mutant organization also stand in line. Professor Cong and the Dragon Blood Clan are on Commander Cao's side, and Dr. Zhuang and Feng Lan are on Commander Xu's side. Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral. They have very different opinions on the reconstruction of human beings. This difference originated from the brain evolution of the Academy of Sciences. They are divided into conservatives headed by Professor Cong and Colonel Tang and Dr. Zhuang. Radicals."
Cong Xia said: "Colonel Tang? I seem to have heard of this name before."
"Colonel Tang is a top expert in the field of genetics. He is also the first person in charge of the dragon's blood test. Well, he is also a brain evolutionist. Professor Cong said that the better the performance of a certain part of the dominant gene, the easier it is to evolve, so basically All brain-evolved people were very smart before. Look, Colonel Tang, Professor Cong, and two Dr. Zhuang, weren't they all geniuses before?"
Cong Xia nodded, "That makes sense."
Liu Fengyu said: "Why do the Dragon Blood Clan and Feng Lan stand in line, while Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral?"
"Because the dragon blood clan belongs to the army, all dragon blood people are soldiers. As for why they stand in the 27th Army, it is because Colonel Tang and Professor Cong have the same philosophy. As the first person in charge of the dragon blood people experiment, the dragon blood people naturally follow him. The boss of the Fenglan Society is arrogant and violent, and Dr. Zhuang's philosophy of survival of the fittest coincides with him. Although Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral, they generally accept tasks sent by the military department."
"What is the reward for accepting missions in Jiujiang County and Six Paths of Heaven?"
"There are too many." Xiao Wang said: "First of all, it is legal to hold a puppet jade. The military department is now collecting puppet jade across the country, and no one will be let go. Only the four organizations can own it; secondly, they can enjoy very There are many resources, energy, food, etc. Needless to say, there are also new weapons, medicines, crops, and livestock. What they get is always the latest and best. However, they also lost a lot of people in order to collect puppet jade. Yao Qian The injury Jiang suffered in Pin'an last time is still not healed."
Liu Fengyu thought of the bugs in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and couldn't help shivering.
Cheng Tianbi asked: "What are Professor Cong and Zhuang Yu's thoughts on human reconstruction work?"
Xiao Wang said: "I can't explain it clearly. To put it simply, Professor Cong and Colonel Tang advocate the development of new types of agriculture, animal husbandry, and new energy sources, so that our lives can be restored to self-sufficiency as much as possible, while Dr. Zhuang believes that only Continuous research on genetic modification experiments will make mutants stronger and ordinary people into mutants, so that human beings can return to the position of planetary overlord. On the surface, the ideas of radicals are very cruel, but his last speech was very It is provocative, I am an ordinary person, I do not agree with his ideas, but..." He sighed, "Many mutants support him, and they have different positions, and I dare not say who is right and who is wrong. This question, you guys Let’s ask Professor Cong.”
"Is everything you eat now produced by new agriculture and animal husbandry?"
"Most of them are. New types of seeds, medicines, and mutated animal husbandry are all invented by the Academy of Sciences, so the Academy of Sciences has a high prestige. Now the Academy of Sciences has begun to restore communications across the country. It will help other cities solve their food problems, and the next step is to solve security issues. , although it has just started and it is very difficult, but there is always something to look forward to." Xiao Wang's eyes sparkled.
Cong Xia smiled and nodded, "Humanity has great hope."
Xiao Wang looked ahead, "Hey, we're here at Fishery Street."
The four of them got out of the car, and there was a busy street in front of them. There were many people coming and going, and large trailers could be seen everywhere.
Xiao Wang said: "Most of the fish sold in this aquatic product street are farmed fish, because fish have a short growth cycle and are currently our main meat. However, it is still difficult for ordinary people to eat. Most of the people who come here to buy are mutants. .”
They walked into the aquatic product street, and the shops on both sides of the street were eye-opening.Although the smell of fish all over the street is very life-like, these shops are still very different from traditional aquatic products stores-every one of them has fish tanks the size of an aquarium.
Most of the common grass carp, catfish, and tilapia sold here are fresh and tender, and most importantly, they have strong vitality and fast reproduction.
Passing by a shop, a man with braids pointed to a three-meter-long tilapia in the water tank and said, "Just this one, boss, you have to deliver it before dark. Today is the birthday of our county king's mother. This is the fish. It must be alive, if the fish is dead, I will not spare you."
"Don't worry, we have been in business for so long, when did we send you dead fish?"
"You make an offer."
The boss looked at the fish, "One thousand and two."
The little braid took out the money and paid it generously.
Liu Fengyu poked Xiao Wang, "Don't they call each other?"
"There is a rule here. It is too troublesome to weigh a fish over three meters, and it is easy to kill the fish. Generally, the price is estimated randomly. Those who can afford such a large fish are basically not bad for money."
Cong Xia said: "We also have to buy such a big one, or it won't be enough for Abu."
Liu Fengyu smiled and said: "Abu is poor, shaving his hair hurts him so much, he must buy the biggest comforter to comfort him."
Xiao Wang said: "Going further in, not every family has such a big fish, maybe there is only one like this in a few days."
Sure enough, they walked for half a street, and they never saw the second one over three meters, and it was even rare for them to be over two meters.
Xiao Wang explained: "Because it is farmed, many fish are bought before they have time to grow. The fish over three meters are either deliberately kept by the boss not to sell in order to raise the price, or they may be Wild ones will double the price."
"Then why don't they save all the fish until they grow up and sell them?"
"Although it is expensive to sell more than three meters, it is not easy to sell. It is not because of large-scale gatherings or collective purchases. Usually, it cannot be sold. Moreover, the water tank is limited and the fish feed is also expensive when it grows up. If it is not done well, it will be smashed. The best-selling fish here are all about one meter long, the price is cheap, and you can eat it all at once, so as not to go bad and go to waste.”
Liu Fengyu joked, "You know a lot, kid."
Xiao Wang said with a smile, "You've been here for a long time... Hey, there's a big fish in the house opposite, look."
Sure enough, they saw a big fish, smaller than the one ordered by the people from Jiujiang County just now, but it was also the biggest one they could find on this street.
Cong Xia walked over happily: "Boss, how do you sell this fish?"
The boss smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you before. New customer, let me count you 1000 yuan."
"Okay, can you send us to the pet grooming salon?"
"No problem, send it now." The boss was busy filling the water tank.
"Boss Sun." A voice sounded from behind them, they turned their heads and saw that it was the braid from Jiujiang County just now.
"Oh, Brother Qian, hello."
"Boss Sun, we want this big fish."
"Ah?" Boss Sun looked at Brother Qian in embarrassment, then at Cong Xia and the others.
Brother Qian glanced at Cong Xia and the others, seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and young, he didn't pay attention to them, "What's the matter?" This Brother Qian is obviously not a mutant, if so, he should have felt Cheng Tianbi's body of energy.
Boss Sun said embarrassedly: "This fish, this little brother has just ordered."
"Oh?" Brother Qian raised his eyebrows: "Our old lady in Jiujiang County must have two big fish for her [-]th birthday, so go and buy a few small fish." His tone was very arrogant, Jiujiang County is Beijing after all. The big gang with the largest number of people is majestic everywhere. When their people go out to do errands, no one will give up three points.
Cong Xia was a little reluctant, but it seemed that there was no need to fight over the fish.
If Brother Qian had spoken well, he would have given in, but this attitude made Liu Fengyu quite unhappy, and he snorted coldly: "We are the first to see this fish, and there is a first-come-first-come-first-served basis, so if you buy a few more small fish, it will be over. "
Brother Qian's complexion changed slightly, "My majestic old lady from Jiujiang County celebrates her birthday, and I use a few small fish to make up for it, so where can I put my face!"
Liu Fengyu stared, "Where you put your face is none of our business, if you want this fish, buy it from us at twice the price."
Brother Qian stubbed out the cigarette, and said sharply, "Don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine, do you know who I am? Have you ever heard of Jiujiang County!"
Cong Xia held Liu Fengyu back, "Brother Liu, forget it."
Boss Sun was also busy trying to smooth things over: "Brother, can you choose another one? I'll give you a discount."
"Ok."
At this moment, one of Brother Qian's subordinates came over and whispered something in his ear. Brother Qian's face changed slightly, and he stared at Liu Fengyu fiercely.
Liu Fengyu narrowed his eyes, "Damn it, haven't you seen a handsome man?"
Brother Qian whispered: "You are on the wanted warrant..."
Cheng Tianbi, who had been silent all this time, had a cold look in his eyes, "Yes, what do you want?"
Brother Qian was obviously a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's not good, don't think it's a big deal to evolve people through natural forces, our boss is the most powerful."
Liu Fengyu said angrily: "It's a good idea to give you some face, isn't it courting death!" For a few days, he was agitated because he couldn't find any news about his parents. The palm of his hand suddenly turned into red petals, and the petals elongated instantly, grabbing Brother Qian by the collar.
Brother Qian turned pale with shock, "You, what are you doing!"
"Brother Liu..."
I only heard the slapping sound of Brother Qian's clothes, he was digesting rapidly, and a stench filled the air.
"Wow, it stinks, what kind of smell."
It was too late for Cong Xia to stop him, the annoyed Liu Fengyu stretched out his hand and pushed, Brother Qian was suddenly pushed far away, a piece of skin was melted off his naked chest by the digestive juice.
Brother Qian yelled in pain. In fact, the wound was not serious, but for ordinary people, being attacked by mutants was extremely terrifying.All his men rushed in, Cheng Tianbi and Liu Fengyu stood in front of Cong Xia, and the two sides were about to fight.
Xiao Wang hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, calm down, we don't want any more fish, Brother Qian, do what you want, don't hurt your friendship because of such a trivial matter."
Cong Xia dragged Liu Fengyu back, Xiao Wang was right, it was too stupid to offend Jiujiang County for such a trivial matter, he said: "Brother Qian, it's all a misunderstanding, I wish the old lady a long life." Bi and Liu Fengyu left quickly.
Brother Qian was afraid of their strength and did not dare to stop them, but his face was quite gloomy.
After leaving the aquatic product shop, Cong Xia sighed, "Brother Liu, don't be so impulsive, it's just a fish."
Liu Fengyu curled his lips, "What a fool, he dares to say me... that word, hum."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "We just came to Beijing, so don't cause trouble."
Liu Fengyu said shyly, "Understood."
They bought a few small fish in other stores.Back at the beauty salon, it was already afternoon, Abu finally raised his head, but he looked listless, his bare body coupled with his dejected expression was really pitiful.
Zhuang Yao said, "Abu will wait until dark before leaving."
Cong Xia was surprised: "Why?"
"I'm afraid of being seen." Liu Fengyu touched Abu sympathetically, "I understand you, if I have an ugly haircut, I will definitely not let anyone see it."
Abu smelled the fish, looked at the trailer helplessly, and let out a "meow".
Cheng Tianbi said: "You change your clothes and go with me."
"Ah? Why am I... Oh, yes." He remembered that he and Cheng Tianbi were still bound within a four-meter range.The thought of meeting Cheng Tianbi's father soon made his little heart pound.
On the way, Cong Xia asked Cheng Tianbi in a low voice, "Tianbi, your father...is it General Cao Zhixian?"
"Hmm." Cheng Tianbi seemed reluctant to continue this topic.
Cong Xia clicked his tongue.He didn't pay much attention to current affairs and politics in the past, but men have a military complex, so he paid a lot of attention to the army. Cao Zhixian is a general, the commander of the 27th Heavy Armed Army Group Army, and has at least [-] modern heavy troops.No wonder Cheng Tianbi didn't worry about his parents at all. After the end of the world, the regime must decline and the military will dominate. To control military power is to control the power. How can a person of Cao Zhixian's level be in danger of life.
Cong Xia didn't know why, and felt a little lost, "Tianbi, so your family is so awesome."
Cheng Tian said blankly, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Ah?" Cong Xia noticed that Cheng Tianbi was not at all happy to see his father, and he didn't have the same surname, I'm afraid...
They came to a fully enclosed meeting room, "Please wait a moment, the commander will be there soon."
The two sat in the conference room, Cong Xia was a little nervous.
Soon, the door was pushed open.A tall man walked in with his head held high, his eyebrows looked a bit like Cheng Tianbi's, and he had the same imposing manner.
Cheng Tianbi looked at him calmly, and gave him a military salute, "General Cao."
Cong Xia stammered, "Ah, Cao, Hello, General Cao."
Cao Zhixian's sharp eyes swept over the two of them: "Tianbi, do you need to be so polite to me?"
Cheng Tianbi put down his hand and said nothing.
Cao Zhixian looked at Cong Xia, "Is this Professor Cong's nephew?"
Cong Xia nodded, "Talk, I'll go out and wait." After he went out, he found that all four guards at the door were looking at him.
Cong Xia said: "I'll wait for him here."
A guard said, "Comrade, let me take you to the rest area over there."
Cong Xia smiled wryly and said, "No, believe it or not, the people inside and I are tied up because of something."
The guard was baffled.
"Just let me stand here."
The guard didn't say anything and continued to stand guard.
Cong Xia thought of the father and son, they not only look alike, but also have similar temperament, they are both serious people.
Tianbi didn't call him "Dad" when they met, but actually called him General...
Not sure what they are talking about.Cong Xia became more and more curious about the content of the conversation between the two, do you want to listen to it?I just need to strengthen my sense of hearing, but it's not very good... just, just listen a little bit.
Cong Xia couldn't hold back anymore, she concentrated her energy on the auditory nerve, and the meeting room with excellent sound insulation suddenly became useless.
Cao Zhixian said: "I have been looking for you for the ten months since you disappeared, why didn't you notify me as soon as you came back?"
Cheng Tianbi said flatly: "There are still tasks to deal with."
"Don't you just want to see Lao Guo? I'll see him without looking up. You'd rather seek help from outsiders than come to your own father?"
"Professor Cong has made arrangements."
Cao Zhixian sighed, "Tianbi, do you know how much I worried about you during this period? How many times have I persuaded you not to join the Special Warfare Ninth Division, and all the most tricky and dangerous missions were carried out, but there was no name. surname, the file will be sealed forever, and even the military rank cannot be announced, what are you planning? If you came to me in the first place, you should be a lieutenant now."
Cheng Tianbi didn't speak.
"However, you also strive for pride. You are now a natural force evolutionary person, which is much more important than any military rank. You are indeed my son."
Cheng Tianbi's voice was calm, "General Cao, you know that all mutants have lost their fertility, right?"
This time it was Cao Zhixian's turn to be silent.
"No one can continue your bloodline. I didn't want to before, and I can't now."
Cao Zhixian knocked on the table, "The problem of fertility is related to the reproduction of all human beings. I think the Academy of Sciences will solve it."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Cao Zhixian sighed heavily, "Tianbi, after all these years, can you still not let go of the past?"
The whole day was silent.
Cong Xia could imagine the expression on his face now, it looked extremely indifferent, as if nothing could beat his heart.Cong Xia didn't know what happened between the father and son, but he could guess that it was probably a family drama.
After a while, Cheng Tianbi said in a low voice: "The people from Nine Offices, are you still there?"
Cao Zhixian said: "After the earthquake, the Ninth Division was sent as the third batch of support to Qinghai. Like the previous two groups, there was no news. The Ninth Special Warfare Division no longer exists. The original three armies were reduced and merged into two, one is my 27th Army, the other is Xu Ying's 14th Army, and the remaining old units of the former Special Warfare Department have been merged into my command."
Cong Xia imagined Cheng Tianbi's current mood, and felt distressed.
"Tianbi, the current situation is very good for us father and son. Xu Ying does not have a son who evolved from natural forces. You have a certain friendship with Professor Cong. Together with Professor Cong, we will be able to control the situation in Beijing. Let Xu Ying and Zhuang Yu, the group of radicals, dominate the future of mankind."
"I do not understand what you are saying."
"You have just arrived in Beijing for a day, and you don't understand the situation. I will talk to you when you understand."
Then, Cong Xia heard the sound of something being placed on the table.
Cheng Tianbi said: "What is this?"
Cao Zhixian, "You can use the new currency. However, the current currency equivalent is not gold, but energy."
Cong Xia was startled.Beijing already has a new currency?What does it mean that the equivalent circulation is energy?Does it mean that the country has turned its gold reserves into energy reserves?But what energy?Where does energy come from?
At this moment, the door opened, and Cao Zhixian walked out first.
Cong Xia looked at him nervously.
Cao Zhixian nodded at him, "Little comrade, what's your name?"
"Cong Xia, the summer of summer."
"Thank you for taking care of Tianbi on the way."
"No, he is actually taking care of us."
Cao Zhixian smiled lightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of each other. You guys have a good rest." His expression turned cold suddenly, "You don't have to worry about the reward order. If you knew that the reward was my son Cao... Humph , nonsense."
Cao Zhixian left with the guards.
Cong Xia walked into the meeting room, and there was a thick stack of banknotes in front of Cheng Tianbi. He picked it up and looked at it. The banknotes were printed with a panorama of the National Academy of Sciences, with a face value of one thousand. "What is this?"
Cheng Tianbi said lightly: "Didn't you hear everything?"
Cong Xia was embarrassed, "Tianbi, how do you know?"
Cheng Tianbi said: "I know you will definitely eavesdrop."
Cong Xia looked at him with a guilty conscience, "Tianbi, I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this..."
"It's okay, if you want to know about me, I will tell you."
Cong Xia said softly: "When you want to say something, I will listen with all my ears."
"Ah."
Cong Xia fiddled with the money in his hand, "Such a thick stack, is it worth 20 or [-] yuan?" Although he didn't know the real value of the money, even in the civilized age, he didn't have [-] yuan in his bank card.
"I don't know, go ask Professor Cong."
"Okay, the second uncle said yesterday that he wanted to have dinner with us."
The two walked out of the conference room, and Xiao Wang was still waiting for them in the lobby: "What do you want to do next?"
"We want to see Professor Cong."
"Professor Cong went to a meeting early this morning, and may not be back for a while."
"Oh. By the way, what happened to Brother Liu's parents?"
"The people from the military department have been sent to look for it, and I will follow up."
"That's good."
"Do you want to go outside? Dr. Zhuang Xiao is going to take Abu to the beauty salon."
"Doctor Zhuang?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "In order to distinguish him from Dr. Zhuang Yu, so..."
Cong Xia smiled: "Alright, we are just like country folks entering the city, everything is new, take us out."
Ten minutes later, the other four people also went downstairs. They all changed into new clothes, and Liu Fengyu even sprayed on the perfume he dreamed of. When he saw them, he said happily: "My house has not been damaged, listen to it!" Experienced people say that generally if the house is not damaged, the chances of survival for the owner are very high.”
Cong Xia smiled and said, "Great, Brother Liu, we will definitely find your parents!"
Xiao Wang said: "The biggest difficulty now is that we can't find it openly, because Mr. Liu has a special status, and many people know him. We are afraid that people who are interested will take advantage of this...so now we can only investigate privately."
Cong Xia nodded, "We understand."
Zhuang Yao looked at the thing in Cheng Tianbi's hand, "What is this?"
Cheng Tianbi handed it to him, "Money."
"A new currency, interesting." He asked Xiao Wang, "How is the denomination calculated?"
"One thousand denominations of currency is equivalent to one gram of energy of any attribute."
"Where does the energy come from?"
Xiao Wang rubbed his head, "It's extracted from dead animals and plants."
Everyone was shocked. Zhuang Yao's original idea had come true. Beijing had already developed an instrument to absorb the energy of dead animals and plants, which possessed Cong Xia's "primary function."
But can energy also be materialized?
Cong Xia frowned and said, "What is energy like? Liquid? Solid? Gas? What can be done after extraction? Why use energy as the currency equivalent?"
Xiao Wang hesitated and said: "The extracted energy has been transformed into a liquid by the scientists, and this liquid can be directly injected by mutants to replenish energy."
Cong Xia pondered: "Wouldn't this method cause massacres?"
Xiao Wang smiled wryly: "It is forbidden to kill people to obtain energy, but it is very difficult to resist..."
Zhuang Yao said: "In order to restore social order, it is necessary to establish a currency system, and to establish a currency system, there must be a most suitable equivalent currency. It used to be a gold reserve, but now it is the most precious energy. This method actually It's reasonable, but after the implementation of this currency system, there will inevitably be 'poachers' who hunt and kill energy bodies, this is unavoidable, and there is no essential difference from killing people for money in the civilized age."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "No wonder, the people of the Dragon Blood Clan say that ordinary people are safe."
Xiao Wang sighed: "Ordinary people receive relief food regularly, never have enough to eat, and work at the lowest level. Their safety is exchanged for dignity, and their safety is very fragile. Although it is expressly forbidden here to kill each other, But when mutants kill ordinary people, no one cares. I am also an ordinary person, because my brother is a mutant guard here, so I can do a logistics job here, but it is already a job that countless people envy In fact, in this day and age, no one is safe."
Everyone was very panicked when they heard it.
When they came to the courtyard, Abu smelled them from a distance, and jumped up and down to rush over.
Zhuang Yao patted Abu, "Abu, I'll take you to take a bath."
Abu let out a happy "meow".
They walked towards the beauty salon. Along the way, passers-by on the street were all looking at them and talking about it.
Soon, they walked to a small stadium. There were two mutant pets standing in the stadium, and many mutants with wings were spraying water on them with water guns.
Deng Xiao looked at it with great interest, "Wow, this is how you take a bath."
They led Abu and walked over. The VIPs and huskies who had been taking a quiet bath were a little flustered. They were already very large, but they were half shorter than Abu.
A man with colorful butterfly wings flew over from a distance. The man had a handsome appearance, fair skin, and a bright smile on his face: "Hello, everyone, this is the [-]-meter puppet cat that I made an appointment for yesterday. Is it? Oh, this cat is so beautiful, but it is a little dirty, and I promise to wash it clean for your baby."
As soon as Abu saw him, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his claws to catch the butterfly, which made him run away in fright.
Xiao Wang said with a dry smile, "He is the owner of this beauty salon. Apart from being greedy for money and being a bit of a bitch, everything else is pretty normal."
They stopped Abramovich and walked into the stadium with it.
Cong Xia asked, "How much is it, please?"
Boss Butterfly patted his chest in shock: "It's the first time you come here, it's cheaper for you, one thousand."
Xiao Wang clicked his tongue, "One thousand? Ah Qing, you really dare to ask for it."
Ah Qing gave him a white look, "I am the only mutated pet grooming salon in Beijing. It provides services to high-end customers. Don't judge me with your mentality of 200 yuan a month."
Xiao Wang said depressedly, "I have two hundred and seven."
Zhuang Yao said: "One thousand is one thousand, wash it quickly."
A Qingchao Zhuang Yao blew a kiss, "The little handsome man is so refreshing." He glanced at the rest of the audience, "Oh, why are you guys more handsome than the other, no wonder they want to offer you rewards."
Several people's faces changed slightly.
Ah Qing smiled, "Why, it's not a secret. On the first day you entered the city, everyone in the city knew about it. Come on, guests, please pay first."
Cong Xia took out the money and handed it to him, Ah Qing took the money with a smile on his face, and clapped his hands at his staff, "Add more people here!"
Several mutants flew over and poured water on Abu with a water gun.
Abu was not used to it, he flicked his hair uncomfortably, his paws couldn't help but want to pounce on Aqing, his purple eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.
Ah Qing screamed in fright.
Zhuang Yao shouted: "Abu, don't move!"
Abu glanced at Zhuang Yao innocently, and really remained motionless.
Cong Xia laughed and said, "This Ah Qing is quite smart, to think of such a business."
"It's not enough to be smart, you have to have capital. He is the brother of one of the three iron guards of the six realms of the underworld."
"Six Paths of the Underworld...their boss is a human who evolved from natural forces of earth?"
Xiao Wang said: "That's right, that person seldom shows up, and his ability has only been shown once, but it is already very shocking."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"About four months ago, a large number of mutated ants suddenly appeared in Langfang. The military department entrusted this matter to Liudao Huangquan to solve it. I heard that after their boss Li Daoai left, the two blocks where the ants were infested, the ground sank ten times. centimeter."
Deng Xiao was surprised and said, "Wow, so powerful? What about other natural force evolutionists?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said: "Others, they are also very good people. For example, Yao Qianjiang, the boss of Jiujiang County, kills people invisible. I saw it with my own eyes. Sucked dry."
Cong Xia shivered, "This attack method is really scary.
"What about the boss of the Dragon Blood Clan?" Zhuang Yao asked with interest.
"The boss of the Dragon Blood Clan is the youngest among them, only in his early twenties. He is a genetically modified person. He was already a monster in the civilized age. He is said to be our country's secret weapon. If it weren't for the end of the world, I'm afraid we will live forever." I don’t know that there are such monsters in the world. The Dragon Blood Clan is the smallest of the four major gangs, it seems that there are only a few dozen people, but there are not many soldiers, but they are fine, and he has a lot of Dragon Blood people in his hand.” Xiao Wang touched Touching his chin, "However, he has a fatal weakness, and many people know it."
"What weakness?"
"Maybe he is young and listens to his father very much. The father and son are inseparable. The real leader of the Dragon Blood Clan is his father."
Cong Xia thought of the baby in Shan Ming's arms. Although the second uncle said that it was actually an adult, his image of the boss of the dragon blood clan was temporarily fixed on a one or two-year-old bare-bottomed baby covered in golden scales. Now that his image has improved, and hearing Xiao Wang say that he is clinging to his father, his impression of the Dragon Blood Clan is a bit funny.
Zhuang Yao then asked, "Where's the boss of the Fenglan Society?"
Xiao Wang curled his lips: "The boss of the Fenglan Club has a fierce personality and is very public. He has made many enemies in Beijing, but no one dares to provoke him. When a high-voltage lightning strikes, the gods have to explain."
Tang Yanqiu pondered: "It seems that these four gangs have their own merits, and it is hard to tell which one is more powerful."
Zhuang Yao laughed and said, "Now there are five."
The process of bathing Abu was quite long, and Abu got down on the ground out of boredom, and they also yawned.
At this time, Ah Qing flew over, "Guests, Abu's hair is too long, it has been lack of care for a long time, and it is so knotted that it can't be combed at all. Now that the weather is getting hot, it is easy to get fleas."
Zhuang Yao frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"
Ah Qing shrugged and said, "The best way is to shave off and grow back."
Deng Xiao blinked: "It would be... ugly if you shaved it off."
Liu Fengyu said nonchalantly: "Abu is a cat, how does it know that it looks ugly, shave it, it can still cool off."
Zhuang Yao said helplessly: "Then shave it." He walked towards Abu, and Abu rubbed his nose affectionately against him, and he stroked its wet hair, "Abu, they are going to shave your hair now, yes For your own good, it will grow out soon."
Abu was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly called out "meow", moved all four paws back, but the range of movement was very small, and looked at Zhuang Yao's face while moving, looking very struggling.
"Abu, you are obedient. You won't become bald, but the hair will be a little shorter. You may feel very hot in this weather. It will be comfortable if you cut it short."
Abu called out in a low voice, his amethyst-like eyes stared quietly at Zhuang Yao, and moved back a little, very resistant.
Zhuang Yao hugged Abu's nose, and said in a firm tone, "Abu, be obedient."
Abu let out a "meow" in aggrieved manner, lowered his head, and did not move.
Ah Qing and his staff came out carrying something like a plow.
Cong Xia said awkwardly, "This... what is it?"
"Custom-made hair remover." Ah Qing flew to Abu, swung the plow down, and pulled it, a large clump of white hair fell off Abu's body.
Cong Xia opened her mouth wide, looking at the bald spot on Abu's body, she couldn't bear it.
Abu "meowed" and buried his head in his chest until his fur was shaved clean, and he kept this position, refusing to raise his head.
Deng Xiao looked at Abu who was gradually losing his hair, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha Abu seems to have lost half of his weight, so it looks like this without hair, and the flesh is still pink, hahahahaha."
Zhuang Yao kicked him hard, "Don't laugh at it!"
Ah Qing said with a smile: "It will be a little uncomfortable at first, but new hair will grow in a few days, and I will come to take care of the hair regularly in the future."
Cong Xia touched Abu: "Abu, let's go back."
Abu was still lying on the ground with his face buried in his chest, motionless.
"Abu?"
Zhuang Yao also pushed it: "Abu, are you back, Abu?"
The two looked at each other, a little helpless.
Ah Qing touched his chin: "Oh, it has such a strong self-esteem..."
Zhuang Yao said softly: "Abu, you don't have to be so embarrassed, you are still very beautiful, let's go back."
Abu let out a very thin cry from his throat, which sounded extremely aggrieved. No matter how they persuaded him, he kept that posture, motionless.
Two hours passed without anyone touching it.
Cheng Tianbi became impatient, "Let's go back, it will follow by itself."
"What if it doesn't follow?"
"It's your cat, find a way."
"Of course it waits for it to figure it out."
"waste time."
Cong Xia said helplessly: "Why don't we go buy a fish for it."
Xiao Wang clapped his hands, "Buy fish? I know where there are fish, and I'll take you there."
Cheng Tianbi said: "You stay here to protect Zhuang Yao, and Liu Fengyu will go buy fish with us."
Xiao Wang stopped a dog-drawn cart on the street, paid the money, and the little local dog drove them to Shuichan Street.Xiao Wang said: "Actually, it's okay to call the people in Fishery Street to deliver the goods, but the professor told me to show you more about this place. I think it's better for you to go around in person."
Cong Xia smiled and said, "That's good, we really need to know more about this place, and we have a lot of questions to ask you."
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "You ask, I must tell the truth."
"I want to know the current situation in the city. For example, what organization is managing it, what rules the mutant organization operates under, what restrictions are there, what innovative inventions are there, what do Beijing's large population rely on for food, And, where are we heading?"
Xiao Wang scratched his head, "Let me answer one by one. The three largest forces in Beijing are the Military Department, the Academy of Sciences, and the Mutant Human Organization, and the Academy of Sciences and the Mutant Human Organization are both under the management of the Military Department. Among them, Commander Cao's 27th Group Army and the Mutant Human Organization Commander Xu's 14th Army is divided into two parts of the world and does not give in to each other. Therefore, the Academy of Sciences and the mutant organization also stand in line. Professor Cong and the Dragon Blood Clan are on Commander Cao's side, and Dr. Zhuang and Feng Lan are on Commander Xu's side. Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral. They have very different opinions on the reconstruction of human beings. This difference originated from the brain evolution of the Academy of Sciences. They are divided into conservatives headed by Professor Cong and Colonel Tang and Dr. Zhuang. Radicals."
Cong Xia said: "Colonel Tang? I seem to have heard of this name before."
"Colonel Tang is a top expert in the field of genetics. He is also the first person in charge of the dragon's blood test. Well, he is also a brain evolutionist. Professor Cong said that the better the performance of a certain part of the dominant gene, the easier it is to evolve, so basically All brain-evolved people were very smart before. Look, Colonel Tang, Professor Cong, and two Dr. Zhuang, weren't they all geniuses before?"
Cong Xia nodded, "That makes sense."
Liu Fengyu said: "Why do the Dragon Blood Clan and Feng Lan stand in line, while Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral?"
"Because the dragon blood clan belongs to the army, all dragon blood people are soldiers. As for why they stand in the 27th Army, it is because Colonel Tang and Professor Cong have the same philosophy. As the first person in charge of the dragon blood people experiment, the dragon blood people naturally follow him. The boss of the Fenglan Society is arrogant and violent, and Dr. Zhuang's philosophy of survival of the fittest coincides with him. Although Jiujiang County and Liudao Huangquan are neutral, they generally accept tasks sent by the military department."
"What is the reward for accepting missions in Jiujiang County and Six Paths of Heaven?"
"There are too many." Xiao Wang said: "First of all, it is legal to hold a puppet jade. The military department is now collecting puppet jade across the country, and no one will be let go. Only the four organizations can own it; secondly, they can enjoy very There are many resources, energy, food, etc. Needless to say, there are also new weapons, medicines, crops, and livestock. What they get is always the latest and best. However, they also lost a lot of people in order to collect puppet jade. Yao Qian The injury Jiang suffered in Pin'an last time is still not healed."
Liu Fengyu thought of the bugs in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and couldn't help shivering.
Cheng Tianbi asked: "What are Professor Cong and Zhuang Yu's thoughts on human reconstruction work?"
Xiao Wang said: "I can't explain it clearly. To put it simply, Professor Cong and Colonel Tang advocate the development of new types of agriculture, animal husbandry, and new energy sources, so that our lives can be restored to self-sufficiency as much as possible, while Dr. Zhuang believes that only Continuous research on genetic modification experiments will make mutants stronger and ordinary people into mutants, so that human beings can return to the position of planetary overlord. On the surface, the ideas of radicals are very cruel, but his last speech was very It is provocative, I am an ordinary person, I do not agree with his ideas, but..." He sighed, "Many mutants support him, and they have different positions, and I dare not say who is right and who is wrong. This question, you guys Let’s ask Professor Cong.”
"Is everything you eat now produced by new agriculture and animal husbandry?"
"Most of them are. New types of seeds, medicines, and mutated animal husbandry are all invented by the Academy of Sciences, so the Academy of Sciences has a high prestige. Now the Academy of Sciences has begun to restore communications across the country. It will help other cities solve their food problems, and the next step is to solve security issues. , although it has just started and it is very difficult, but there is always something to look forward to." Xiao Wang's eyes sparkled.
Cong Xia smiled and nodded, "Humanity has great hope."
Xiao Wang looked ahead, "Hey, we're here at Fishery Street."
The four of them got out of the car, and there was a busy street in front of them. There were many people coming and going, and large trailers could be seen everywhere.
Xiao Wang said: "Most of the fish sold in this aquatic product street are farmed fish, because fish have a short growth cycle and are currently our main meat. However, it is still difficult for ordinary people to eat. Most of the people who come here to buy are mutants. .”
They walked into the aquatic product street, and the shops on both sides of the street were eye-opening.Although the smell of fish all over the street is very life-like, these shops are still very different from traditional aquatic products stores-every one of them has fish tanks the size of an aquarium.
Most of the common grass carp, catfish, and tilapia sold here are fresh and tender, and most importantly, they have strong vitality and fast reproduction.
Passing by a shop, a man with braids pointed to a three-meter-long tilapia in the water tank and said, "Just this one, boss, you have to deliver it before dark. Today is the birthday of our county king's mother. This is the fish. It must be alive, if the fish is dead, I will not spare you."
"Don't worry, we have been in business for so long, when did we send you dead fish?"
"You make an offer."
The boss looked at the fish, "One thousand and two."
The little braid took out the money and paid it generously.
Liu Fengyu poked Xiao Wang, "Don't they call each other?"
"There is a rule here. It is too troublesome to weigh a fish over three meters, and it is easy to kill the fish. Generally, the price is estimated randomly. Those who can afford such a large fish are basically not bad for money."
Cong Xia said: "We also have to buy such a big one, or it won't be enough for Abu."
Liu Fengyu smiled and said: "Abu is poor, shaving his hair hurts him so much, he must buy the biggest comforter to comfort him."
Xiao Wang said: "Going further in, not every family has such a big fish, maybe there is only one like this in a few days."
Sure enough, they walked for half a street, and they never saw the second one over three meters, and it was even rare for them to be over two meters.
Xiao Wang explained: "Because it is farmed, many fish are bought before they have time to grow. The fish over three meters are either deliberately kept by the boss not to sell in order to raise the price, or they may be Wild ones will double the price."
"Then why don't they save all the fish until they grow up and sell them?"
"Although it is expensive to sell more than three meters, it is not easy to sell. It is not because of large-scale gatherings or collective purchases. Usually, it cannot be sold. Moreover, the water tank is limited and the fish feed is also expensive when it grows up. If it is not done well, it will be smashed. The best-selling fish here are all about one meter long, the price is cheap, and you can eat it all at once, so as not to go bad and go to waste.”
Liu Fengyu joked, "You know a lot, kid."
Xiao Wang said with a smile, "You've been here for a long time... Hey, there's a big fish in the house opposite, look."
Sure enough, they saw a big fish, smaller than the one ordered by the people from Jiujiang County just now, but it was also the biggest one they could find on this street.
Cong Xia walked over happily: "Boss, how do you sell this fish?"
The boss smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you before. New customer, let me count you 1000 yuan."
"Okay, can you send us to the pet grooming salon?"
"No problem, send it now." The boss was busy filling the water tank.
"Boss Sun." A voice sounded from behind them, they turned their heads and saw that it was the braid from Jiujiang County just now.
"Oh, Brother Qian, hello."
"Boss Sun, we want this big fish."
"Ah?" Boss Sun looked at Brother Qian in embarrassment, then at Cong Xia and the others.
Brother Qian glanced at Cong Xia and the others, seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and young, he didn't pay attention to them, "What's the matter?" This Brother Qian is obviously not a mutant, if so, he should have felt Cheng Tianbi's body of energy.
Boss Sun said embarrassedly: "This fish, this little brother has just ordered."
"Oh?" Brother Qian raised his eyebrows: "Our old lady in Jiujiang County must have two big fish for her [-]th birthday, so go and buy a few small fish." His tone was very arrogant, Jiujiang County is Beijing after all. The big gang with the largest number of people is majestic everywhere. When their people go out to do errands, no one will give up three points.
Cong Xia was a little reluctant, but it seemed that there was no need to fight over the fish.
If Brother Qian had spoken well, he would have given in, but this attitude made Liu Fengyu quite unhappy, and he snorted coldly: "We are the first to see this fish, and there is a first-come-first-come-first-served basis, so if you buy a few more small fish, it will be over. "
Brother Qian's complexion changed slightly, "My majestic old lady from Jiujiang County celebrates her birthday, and I use a few small fish to make up for it, so where can I put my face!"
Liu Fengyu stared, "Where you put your face is none of our business, if you want this fish, buy it from us at twice the price."
Brother Qian stubbed out the cigarette, and said sharply, "Don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine, do you know who I am? Have you ever heard of Jiujiang County!"
Cong Xia held Liu Fengyu back, "Brother Liu, forget it."
Boss Sun was also busy trying to smooth things over: "Brother, can you choose another one? I'll give you a discount."
"Ok."
At this moment, one of Brother Qian's subordinates came over and whispered something in his ear. Brother Qian's face changed slightly, and he stared at Liu Fengyu fiercely.
Liu Fengyu narrowed his eyes, "Damn it, haven't you seen a handsome man?"
Brother Qian whispered: "You are on the wanted warrant..."
Cheng Tianbi, who had been silent all this time, had a cold look in his eyes, "Yes, what do you want?"
Brother Qian was obviously a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's not good, don't think it's a big deal to evolve people through natural forces, our boss is the most powerful."
Liu Fengyu said angrily: "It's a good idea to give you some face, isn't it courting death!" For a few days, he was agitated because he couldn't find any news about his parents. The palm of his hand suddenly turned into red petals, and the petals elongated instantly, grabbing Brother Qian by the collar.
Brother Qian turned pale with shock, "You, what are you doing!"
"Brother Liu..."
I only heard the slapping sound of Brother Qian's clothes, he was digesting rapidly, and a stench filled the air.
"Wow, it stinks, what kind of smell."
It was too late for Cong Xia to stop him, the annoyed Liu Fengyu stretched out his hand and pushed, Brother Qian was suddenly pushed far away, a piece of skin was melted off his naked chest by the digestive juice.
Brother Qian yelled in pain. In fact, the wound was not serious, but for ordinary people, being attacked by mutants was extremely terrifying.All his men rushed in, Cheng Tianbi and Liu Fengyu stood in front of Cong Xia, and the two sides were about to fight.
Xiao Wang hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, calm down, we don't want any more fish, Brother Qian, do what you want, don't hurt your friendship because of such a trivial matter."
Cong Xia dragged Liu Fengyu back, Xiao Wang was right, it was too stupid to offend Jiujiang County for such a trivial matter, he said: "Brother Qian, it's all a misunderstanding, I wish the old lady a long life." Bi and Liu Fengyu left quickly.
Brother Qian was afraid of their strength and did not dare to stop them, but his face was quite gloomy.
After leaving the aquatic product shop, Cong Xia sighed, "Brother Liu, don't be so impulsive, it's just a fish."
Liu Fengyu curled his lips, "What a fool, he dares to say me... that word, hum."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "We just came to Beijing, so don't cause trouble."
Liu Fengyu said shyly, "Understood."
They bought a few small fish in other stores.Back at the beauty salon, it was already afternoon, Abu finally raised his head, but he looked listless, his bare body coupled with his dejected expression was really pitiful.
Zhuang Yao said, "Abu will wait until dark before leaving."
Cong Xia was surprised: "Why?"
"I'm afraid of being seen." Liu Fengyu touched Abu sympathetically, "I understand you, if I have an ugly haircut, I will definitely not let anyone see it."
Abu smelled the fish, looked at the trailer helplessly, and let out a "meow".
