【Gene mutation-08】

The steaming longan and red jujube porridge came out of the pot, Yue Xingwen walked over and filled two bottles, turned around and came to Professor Tang, handed him a receiving bottle full of porridge, and said, "Professor Tang is hungry? eat something."

Professor Tang stretched out his hand to take the "bowl and chopsticks" with a complicated expression on his face. Seeing that everyone around him was eating, he had to lower his head and eat silently.

Not to mention, this porridge tastes really good. The red dates and longan were boiled very badly. They were paired with black rice, and some rock sugar was added. The entrance was soft and glutinous and fragrant. It is not convenient to drink porridge without a spoon, but the chopsticks made of vines can barely pull the porridge into the mouth.

Professor Tang picked up his chopsticks and chewed a huge longan in his mouth. He had been hungry for three days after hiding in the box before, and after a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, he felt that the cells in his body were instantly rejuvenated at this moment.

Professor Tang speeded up, devoured it, and finished the bottle of porridge in a blink of an eye. He licked his lips unwillingly, looked at Yue Xingwen, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any more?"

Yue Xingwen said: "Don't worry, it's enough."

He took the receiving bottle in Professor Tang's hand and handed it over with a full bowl. Professor Tang took over and quickly finished drinking, and continued to look up at Yue Xingwen.

Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "Do you still want to eat the third bowl?"

Professor Tang helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, feeling a little aggrieved: "I haven't eaten for three days..."

Xin Yan did cook enough porridge that everyone could drink at least two bowls. Seeing that Professor Tang was pitiful, Yue Xingwen gave him a third bowl to let him eat with confidence.

Professor Tang was finally full, hiccupped, looked at Yue Xingwen and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, we have enough whole grains. Next, you can drink different kinds of porridge every day." Yue Xingwen said with a smile, "It won't make you hungry."

Professor Tang looked complicated and did not speak.

Yue Xingwen turned back and asked Xin Yan, "What should I do with these bowls and chopsticks?"

"Everyone uses the distilled water I made to wash the tableware and chopsticks, and put them away. You don't have to do it again next time you eat, which can save a lot of time." Xin Yan said.

Everyone went to the side to line up to wash the dishes.

Xin Yan opened the outlet of the condensation pipe of another distillation unit. Everyone quickly collected water to wash the dishes, and the rest of the water was collected in empty mineral water bottles. Zhuo Feng and Xu Yishen also brought a few empty buckets that they had collected for gasoline, and filled five buckets full of river water on the car. Later, when the mineral water was not enough, they asked Xin Yan to temporarily make distilled water to quench his thirst.

Distilled water can't be drunk for a long time, but they are running for their lives, the conditions are limited, and there is no need to pay so much attention.

The time pointed to 0:30 in the morning, and it took half an hour before and after the "supper". Yue Xingwen said: "Give everyone another 5 minutes, wash your face, and those who should go to the toilet go to the woods to go to the toilet, we can't stay here for too long."

Professor Tang said, "I also want to go to the toilet."

Yue Xingwen said with a smile, "I'll accompany you."

He was worried that Professor Tang would run away, so he followed up and stared at each other in person. But Professor Tang didn't mean to run away. After going to the woods to have a little break, he returned honestly.

The teammates got into the car one after another. Jiang Pingce took the initiative to walk to the driver's seat and said, "Senior brother, you have been driving for several hours, take a rest, and let me drive the road behind."

Xu Yishen drove for 6 hours in a row. He was tense along the way, his palms were full of cold sweat, and he was really tired. Hear this. He smiled and stroked the slightly messy curly hair in front of his forehead, and said, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and you will call me later in the middle of the night."

Zhuo Feng asked, "Can Junior Brother do it alone? Would you like me to help me see the way?"

Jiang Pingce calmly started the car, put it into gear, and said, "No, you all rest. There are no other cars on this road. I can just turn on the high beams and let Xiaotu help with the investigation."

Ke Shaobin hurriedly summoned the robot: "I just put the little picture back to charge it, and it can work continuously for 10 hours."

Yue Xingwen walked over, sat in the seat closest to the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Everyone sleep for a while, I'll accompany Pingce. We'll wake up the next driver at around five in the morning."

With Yue Xingwen accompanying Jiang Pingce, of course everyone felt relieved.

Lan Yarong said with a smile, "It's been hard work for you two, let's sleep for a while and recharge our batteries."

The interior of the bus is very spacious and there are plenty of seats. In order to facilitate sleeping, each person occupies two seats side by side. Some people slept with their heads against the window, while others lay on the backs in front of them. Senior Brother Xu Yishen simply occupied the last row of seats and slept sideways. Professor Tang was surrounded by everyone in the second half of the carriage and began to close his eyes to rest.

I was tired all day today, and the slight bump in the car was like a swaying boat, the hypnotic effect was first-rate, and soon, everyone fell asleep, and there was only a slight breathing sound in the car.

Yue Xingwen looked back at his teammates, and his mood gradually calmed down - no matter what happened, with so many friends around, it was much better than fighting alone at the beginning.

Their team's skills are a bit strange, but to Yue Xingwen's relief, everyone's mentality is very optimistic.

If you can't find biscuits or milk, you will cook porridge on the spot. There is not enough mineral water, so use river water directly as distilled water. When encountering difficulties, everyone's first reaction is to work together to find a way to solve the problem. The atmosphere of the team is very good, and Yue Xingwen is relatively easy to be the captain.

The road ahead is twisty and the vehicle has been driving through the mountains.

Jiang Pingce found that Yue Xing Wen'an was sitting quietly next to him and didn't speak, so he lowered his voice and said in a volume that only each other could hear: "Go to sleep. I can drive alone with a small picture."

Yue Xingwen said in a low voice, "It's okay, I used to stay up all night when I was racing. Besides, in the middle of the night, if you drive alone, if something happens, you don't even have anyone to discuss with. I'm here, just in case. When you are tired driving, it can remind you.”

Jiang Pingce's lips raised slightly: "Okay."

Jiang Pingce was actually very happy that Xingwen was willing to accompany him. He had never driven a bus before, and his experience of driving on this kind of winding mountain road is even more rare. With Xingwen accompanied, his mood quickly calmed down, and the fingers holding the steering wheel were not so stiff. , the state has relaxed a lot.

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, "This task is much more difficult than before."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Yes, the additional questions in the past were fixed, but this time, Professor Tang is a big living person with his own thoughts, which is difficult to control. He deliberately gave me a fake chip before, He almost pitted us. It can be seen that he is very defensive, and maybe he has not fully believed us yet."

Jiang Pingce said: "Looking at the process of our cooking just now, he was obviously surprised, but he didn't say anything. This person is smarter and more cautious than we thought, and we have to keep an eye on him next to prevent him from running away suddenly."

The two chatted softly, but they didn't realize that Professor Tang's eyelashes, who were sitting in the back row of the carriage, trembled slightly.

Today, this young man named Yue Xingwen made him drink three bowls of porridge. He drank the fragrant red dates and longan porridge. Looking at Yue Xingwen's smiling face, there was always a kind of prisoner being fed by the guards before he was executed, and the guards treated the prisoners. The tragic feeling of saying "eat enough to go on the road".

He is full.

So this group of people took him on the road, right?

Where are you going to take him? Could it be that mutants have evolved and developed superpowers that cannot be explained by science?

The boy named Xin Yan had a pale complexion with a hint of morbidity. He looked as if he had been genetically modified, and his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, making his spine chill when he looked at him. You can also conjure a bunch of stills and alcohol lamps out of thin air...

Lin Manluo, a girl with long straight black hair, actually grew a long green vine in her palm. Could it be that when those people were doing human transformation experiments, they also incorporated plant genes?

This man named Jiang Pingce can even take people down from the roof. I don't know what sequence has been added to his genes. The only species that can fly are birds, so Jiang Pingce is a vulture? Or an eagle?

Professor Tang was in a state of turmoil.

He always felt that he had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered a wolf's den again!

Moreover, these "advanced mutants" in front of him were far more terrifying than the mutants he knew.

The mutants are just modified and strengthened. Their strength is that they don't know where they got a lot of guns and ammunition, but these people in front of them have many strange abilities that cannot be explained by science!

Professor Tang clenched his fists tightly, always feeling that this time was more ominous than good luck.

Can he still escape?

Jiang Pingce cautiously drove his car through this winding mountain road.

The road ahead is obviously much wider than before, and there is a fork in the road. The headlights illuminate the road sign on the right side of the road. The road sign on the blue background is marked with white letters "←Heihe Town" "→Qingshui Town" .

The high beam can illuminate a distance of dozens of meters in front. Through the window glass, Yue Xingwen can vaguely see a small town in front of the left and right, and the low buildings are neatly arranged on the side of the road.

It was already 3:30 in the morning, and there was not a single figure around the town, except for the occasional sound of dogs barking. There are no traces of corpses and blood on the road. At present, the two towns are safe, and the power of mutants has not yet expanded here.

Jiang Pingce stopped the car at a fork in the road: "Which way?"

Yue Xingwen frowned and said, "I'm not familiar with this route. Would you like to ask a local person?"

It's a pity that there is no one around in the middle of the night, unless they knock on the door and wake up the villagers.

At this moment, Professor Tang suddenly opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "Why did you stop?"

Yue Xingwen saw this scene from the rearview mirror in the car, and immediately said: "Professor Tang, do you know the route to F City? Heihe Town on the left and Qingshui Town on the right, which way should we go?"

Professor Tang thought about it carefully and said, "It should be on the right. City F is directly north of City C. Our current position is the east. If you turn right, it is due north."

Yue Xingwen looked up at the bright North Star in the sky.

Professor Tang is right, it is true north to the right, and F city is located to the north.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and said, "Turn right and take the road of Qingshui Town."

Jiang Pingce started the vehicle again and turned right at the fork.

Professor Tang closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

Yue Xingwen looked back at the way he was sleeping peacefully, and always felt that Professor Tang was a little strange today - he saw with his own eyes that everyone used various abilities to make porridge, doesn't he doubt everyone's identities?

According to normal people's thinking, suddenly seeing so many strange abilities, I am afraid they will think that they are mutants in disguise, and they want to kidnap him, dissect him, and take out the chips in his body.

It is impossible for Professor Tang to be so simple and directly believe that this group of people is here to "escort him".

Yue Xingwen touched his chin and thought about it carefully. He looked down at the path shown in the radar monitoring of the small map, and found that the next road was circular. Although the curvature was relatively small, it could be seen that the path was not directly towards him. North.

He glanced at Jiang Pingce and typed on the research group channel: "Professor Tang told us that the direction is wrong. He deliberately misled us with the north side."

Their car came from the east and encountered two forks, south and north. Knowing that City F is to the north of City C, Professor Tang said that the road to Qingshui Town in the north sounds right. However, since the next road is an arc-shaped ring road, going north, after the road bends, it is not due north.

Going south, the road circles an arc and it is the right direction!

Jiang Pingce gave Yue Xingwen a clear look, and turned his head quietly on the road ahead.

Professor Tang, who pretended to be sleeping, noticed this, and his expression changed slightly.

After all, the group of people he met were not only very powerful, but also very smart. He really can't escape the clutches this time!

Are they taking him for an autopsy?

The author has something to say: Yue Xingwen: Are you full? Hit the road.
