NO.187 The calm before the storm

12 hours later, Zhang Heng woke up in Alpha's call. It was already the next morning. The sun shone in through the dusty window, and the room seemed a little dim.

In the radiation plane, the air is filled with pollutants such as radiation dust, and a thick layer can be accumulated in a few days. Therefore, the entire star city was covered with a dark color before it was built.

Dongdong!

There was a knock on the door outside the gate. Zhang Heng said softly, please come in, and two synthesizers immediately pushed the dining cart and walked in.

Zhang Heng took a look at the food on the dining car, one was black mochi, another two-headed beef 80-year-old steak and milk, and some salad made of vegetables that were invisible. These foods may be enough to make the poor scavengers clasp their hands together and thank God, but putting them in front of Zhang Heng would only make Zhang Hengda feel unpleasant.

"Have I brought a lot of food?" Zhang Heng frowned.

"Sir, the food you brought has been eaten," Alpha replied.

"What, so much food has been eaten?" Zhang Heng was stunned. The college did not include synthetics, but there were only 700 people in total. He had taken several tons of real food to everyone, but now he could not stop everyone from eating.

"Send a notice to those old men and say that it is better to eat less high-calorie food." Zhang Heng shook his head. He was really afraid that those old men would get diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, cerebral thrombosis and so on if they didn't get it right, they would lose a lot of money.

To prevent similar situations from happening, it seems that it is time for scientists in these radiation planes to use t-2 and then replace them with a new body.

Arrange these plans into your mind in a category. Zhang Heng's brain runs like a precision supercomputer. The steps of each plan are simulated bit by bit by bit by bit, such as when to return to reality, what to do after returning to reality, and what to carry and then return to radiation... These are all summarized and arranged instantly, and the process is extremely clear.

"By the way, what's the situation with the four people I brought?" Zhang Heng asked suddenly.

"They did not have the bacterial infection you mentioned. After a blood test, except for the high number of white blood cells due to the radiation value, there was no more symptoms. I was given a shot of Xiaobangning and now I have recovered."

"That's good, tell the Department of Pneumatics that during this period, we will speed up the construction of ten double-sized Hawk Falcon fighters, and we will come to receive the goods when I come back next time." Zhang Heng nodded, arranged for Alpha to manage everything about Star City and the Academy, and then shuttled back to the real world again.

In the real world, less than three days have passed. As soon as he comes back, Yuehua contacts him.

"His Excellency Commander."

"Yuehua, I need more supplies this time. You should notify India's Zhao Qing and Amub to enter the second round of various acquisitions." Zhang Heng said immediately.

"I understand, how much money are you going to use to acquire this time?"

"Five hundred billion US dollars." Zhang Heng said decisively, "not just India, telling Joshua and Stanny that I need a lot of supplies, even super high-precision machine tools and industrial assembly lines. They don't need to ship them over after purchasing them. I will go to collect them in person. In terms of remuneration, I will calculate the premium by one percent."

Later, Zhang Heng also distributed the adaptive evolution enzymes and spacecraft design drawings to the Honeycomb Laboratory, setting them as technical data with a safety level of level 1, and only members above level b4 can access research.

After doing all this, Zhang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he wiped out the poison in the negative pressure tent and walked out of the quarantine room.

Back in his room in the hive, Zhang Heng suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said, "Yuehua, project the scene in b6-20."

The next second, the wall in front of Zhang Heng turned into a huge 8k high-definition screen, which was divided into more than a dozen pictures. These were cameras in Laboratory No. 20. Among them, the position of the No. 5 camera was just enough to see most people. Zhang Heng reached out and pointed it lightly, and the No. 5 picture was directly enlarged, occupying the entire screen.

In the picture, Xu Haoyu, Gao Dequan and seven others were lying weakly on the ground. The ground was made of metal, cold and hard. You can even imagine how painful it would be to sleep on this kind of floor, especially this group of rich second generations living in a pampered and luxurious place.

However, although everyone looked pale and malnourished, nothing happened to kill each other. At most, two people had a little purple cheeks, and it seemed that there had been physical conflicts before.

"Commander, after you left the day before yesterday, Gao Dequan and Huayi had an argument over drinking water, but were stopped by others. Everyone also agreed to work together and wait for rescue." Yuehua explained in a timely manner, "Do you need to watch the replay?"

"No, I'm not in the mood to waste time on them." Zhang Heng's eyes showed a hint of joking, "It was certain that they were huddling together at the beginning, because their reason was not defeated by hunger and cold at that time, but after waiting for a day or two, it might not be like this."

"Is it really possible to eat people? Sixty hours have passed now, and I can sense their brain waves. Apart from being hungry and anxious, they have no urge to eat people." Yuehua was a little unbelievable, "I think it is more likely that everyone will die of hunger in the end."

"No, Yuehua, you were wrong." Zhang Heng sighed, "Have you heard of the 'calm before the storm'? Now they do restrain themselves, but when they cannot resolve the source of the conflict, this restraint is like a constantly increasing volcano. The more depressed it is, the more earth-shaking the energy that erupts in the future will be."

"You don't know enough about how strong the desire for survival in life is. Not to mention eating human flesh, many people can react more than you imagine when facing death." Zhang Heng sneered coldly, "I can guarantee that at most forty-eight hours, the first dead person will appear. Then, like dominoes, their humanity and reason will collapse instantly under the impact of hunger and contradictions!"

It seemed to be corresponding to Zhang Heng's words. On the big screen, Xu Haoyu looked pale and stood up shakingly. He looked at the people lying on the ground not far away with disgust, and moved his empty steps towards the faucet in the corner.

When he arrived at the faucet, he subconsciously looked at the kitchen knife with iron chains on the table beside him, and then turned his head defensively to look at everyone, but everyone still lowered their heads and no one looked at him.

Xu Haoyu felt relieved. He bent down slightly, aimed his mouth at the cold tap water, and started drinking it.

However, he didn't see it. Just as the moment he bent down to drink water, everyone raised their heads at the same time, with a wolf-like gaze in their eyes...
