Chapter 142 Don't eat meat

His eyes had no scales around his sockets and his teeth were flat and white. He was a completely pure human. But he had a unique and steady temperament, which made it easy for people to associate him with the word "leader". Therefore, when that puzzled look appeared in his eyes, Li Zhen was a little surprised.

Because the doubts expressed by the other party seem to be not because they may have been "sent from the central government", but for some other reason.

The problem is that I am disguised now, which is very different from my original appearance, and no one can recognize it.

Just a few seconds later, the masked man turned his head and spit out a word: "Okay."

Neither of the other two expressed any objection, and it was obvious that this one had a considerable degree of prestige.

Li Zhen leaned back on the back of the chair: "Then, I will follow you. It seems that you have something to do - I will only look at it, not ask."

The man next to him moved his body dissatisfiedly and threw the gun in his hand aside.

In fact, Li Zhen is more interested in these two people now - the man around him and the woman driving.

He knows a lot about the appearance of alien species. Although that kind of creature is an alienated human, the bones in their bodies have undergone some form of reorganization. You should know that the human body structure is not the best structure suitable for movement and struggle. Most wild animals do better than humans in this regard.

Therefore, alien species will show certain wildlife-like characteristics—such as longer arms, thicker joints, stronger sternum and spine. These characteristics make them look out of place with human aesthetics.

But the problem is that the appearance and outline of these two people seem to be ordinary humans. They are just taller and longer. Such a man and a woman have been an undisputed supermodel figure in the past.

But they also have distinctive characteristics of aliens - the tiny scales on their faces and sharp teeth.

So now Li Zhen looked carefully and realized that this has become another thing that can successfully arouse his curiosity: Who are these two people?

They have rationality and emotions that aliens do not possess, but they are not evolvers - the kind of biochemical combat weapons that come out from the southern base and the northern base. Compared with those people, the appearance characteristics of these two people in front of them seem wilder and full of the beauty of primitive power.

If he really wants to measure the two, he can only say that these two people are between artificially cultivated "evolutionists" and "exotics", which have both strength and wisdom.

The man seemed to be a little dissatisfied by him, but considering the ability Li Zhen had shown before, he only stared at his eyes.

The masked man looked at Li Zhen from the rearview mirror for a while, moved his lips and said nothing.

In fact, the atmosphere was a bit weird, and the attitudes of both sides were quite abnormal.

In the other party's eyes, Li Zhen may be a mysterious man who fell into the trap before he could figure out the depth, but he showed quite strong confidence.

However, in Li Zhen's opinion, the three people's recognition of him seemed to have come too quickly. He wanted to spend more time on verbalism and even show his force. But the masked man actually said "good".

So he realized that the other party seemed to have some secrets that he had not seen clearly. Perhaps the current situation is the best interpretation of the word "each has its own ulterior motives".

Li Zhen once again looked at the masked man carefully. But the other party's appearance characteristics were too prominent. It was indeed difficult for him to connect this person with any guy he had met.

He looked forward through the frost on the car window. In front of him was a crowded street with bustling crowds. It might not be so appropriate to use such words to describe a city located in Siberia and after the catastrophe. However, this was indeed Li Zhen's first impression. A large number of people were flocking into the city and making all kinds of noises.

Among the crowd were the kind of lonely living in the wilderness that he had seen before, who lived alone in the wilderness and hunting, and survivors who came from small settlements.

Survivors do call themselves that. Because this winter comes early this year, heavy snow has already covered the field in summer. If such an abnormal weather might not have much impact on people's psychological anxiety, however, in this era of shortage of materials, sudden cold often means death.

The reason why these people survived was not only relying on their own tenacious will, but also benefited from the assistance of local garrison troops.

He figured out what happened in recent times a few days ago from some people.

In fact, the severe cold has lasted for six months, or in other words, the winter last year has almost never ended and has continued to this day. There may not be a shortage of fuel in such places, but the source of food is a serious problem. After the initial period of famine, the population of small settlements began to decrease, and people everywhere began to migrate to the south. After the initial inaction and powerlessness, the military governments almost shouted the slogan of "for labor for food."

Most people think this is just a helpless move - no matter how the local government must show some clear attitude and take some practical actions at this time. They do not expect the "aid" of the local garrison to last for how long, nor do they think they can get rewards that match the labor they have paid.

But unexpectedly, the food paid by the military was sufficient and fresh meat.

A large amount of meat attracted more people to the military-controlled areas, and these populations rebuilt bustling cities, which also supplemented the reduction of troops caused by the successive battles. Even after that earth-shaking nuclear explosion occurred further north, many people chose to go south, the number of people who stayed here was still quite considerable.

But Li Zhen thinks things are not that simple. He always feels that the compensation paid by the military is somewhat problematic.

If they had sufficient reserves, they would never have made such a decision after the famine lasted for several months - that the imperial government, which had been criticized for being inefficient, would have done better, let alone the military government of this dictatorial nature?

In his opinion, the situation was more like the military had few stocks in the past, but suddenly he received a batch of wealth from the crowd, so he began to "open warehouses to provide relief grain" and tried to retain the small remaining population in his jurisdiction.

The key is that there are more than a dozen military governments of all sizes near the Siberian North Navy Military Region, and these dozen military governments made such decisions almost at the same time.

This means aid—the aid received by the military government from somewhere comes at the same time. That is, there is the same "supplier" that supplies them at the same time.

In fact, there was a rumor before this. Some people from more remote places said that the military distributed human flesh. This matter sounded horrifying, but it was not uncommon for changing children to eat during the famine period in history. However, this statement did not receive much support from many people, and even conspiracy theorists like Li Zhen thought it was nonsense.

Because although he had never eaten that kind of meat, he had seen it.

What he saw was a huge piece, as big as a millstone. The muscle fibers were thick and rough, and they definitely would not be what human flesh should be. He thought it was either whale flesh or large creatures like elephants.

Unfortunately, whales have long become history - they were slaughtered and exterminated by the Japanese in the 1970s. Elephants probably would not appear in places like Siberia.

So he felt that the thing might be a product of some kind of artificial meat, a product of genetic engineering. Because he had never seen the flesh attached to the piece of meat. The thing seemed to be cut from a larger ball of meat, and there was no even a slightly thicker blood vessel.

But it is this kind of thing that helped the people in the cold and cold land in the north survive this difficult period. Therefore, no matter what the political stance of these military governments are, they can do nothing about this matter.

What he wanted to know more was who was the boss behind the scenes.

The off-road vehicle they were riding was swept by the crowd and slowly moved towards the city. The three people in the car did not seem to be in a hurry to leave, with a calm expression, as if they were planning to come here.

Li Zhen looked at the tightly wrapped people outside the car window, the snow-covered eaves, street corners, and telephone poles, and whispered: "So you are going to enter the city?"

So he saw the masked man in the rearview mirror and smiled: "Yes. But if you bring you, we can't do anything."

The other party's attitude became gentle. The other man and woman seemed to be a little surprised by his attitude. Even Li Zhen frowned slightly, thought for a while, and spread his hands: "We have seen it before?"

He did feel this way—this attitude towards him was quite strange. It was like two people who had known each other but had been separated for too long, becoming strangers to each other, but could not recognize each other. He became more and more confident in his inference. If it weren't for this, the other party wouldn't have accepted his almost nonsense request so easily—especially when the enemy and our enemies were not clear.

In fact, he himself also had this feeling. Not only because of the name "Fir and Eagle", but also because of the look of the masked man looking at him.

The masked man grinned. This smile seemed a little distorted because of the half mask, but Li Zhen could see that the other party seemed to be interesting because of his words.

"Maybe?" he said, "In this world, there are so many things you and I can't imagine. Maybe the enemy was the first second, but the next second, they will become friends."

He paused, as if he was not going to continue the topic at this time. He then said seriously: "If you still plan to come with us, remember one thing. When you arrive in this city, don't eat meat - don't eat meat here." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
