Chapter 22 - Feeding Area
We handed over the magic crystal corpse to the outpost laboratory. The task was overcomplete, and Feng proposed to return the next day.
"Then Chen Xuejun's death...why do we explain it to everyone when we go back?" Yu asked in a low voice...
"It's probably the residual magic crystal... There are no suspicious signs found around. Maybe it's the residual magic crystal waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Chen Xuejun just happened to be in trouble and left the order so he encountered misfortune."
"This is self-deception," Xiwu said carelessly through the glass as the specimen of the magic crystal in the jar, "This thing is less than half a meter tall. How can this person bend a living person of 1.7 meters into that shape? And we have fought with that thing, and their attack was a group bite, and Chen Xuejun was broken."
Feng Gang was about to refute, but Xiwu waved his hands repeatedly: "I just said that I don't care how he died. I don't care if you explain it to the people in the shelter. I mean, I'm afraid the way we go back is not easy."
Everyone stopped talking and thought about their own thoughts.
I stood next to Wen Na and wanted to speak several times. When I thought about being monitored, I could not take the initiative to position my consciousness and could only wait for Wen Na to contact me first. The passive feeling was really tormented.
Dr. Malin looked like he had been in a night, his eyes were red, and his expression was no longer as bright as when he first met. His whole face was covered with fatigue.
"Are you leaving today?"
"Yes, the matter is done. Go back early to hand in the office. The people in the shelter are waiting for us to report on the situation outside."
"That's a pity. You guys come here once. I haven't taken you to visit yet. I have to wait until I have a chance in the future!"
"It must be certain."
Feng and Dr. Malin were in an official accent, but Zhao Kai took this rough man seriously and even made a splash.
"Oh, Dr. Marin, you are so amazing. The data you mentioned yesterday, two new animals No. 5 have become millions in a year. I thought about it all night before I understood it. But I still have a question..."
"You said." Dr. Malin looked at Zhao Kai with a smile.
"I think this new animal No. 5 can grow so much in a day! How do they raise it? What do they feed it? Don't you have to raise chickens with some corn and vegetable leaves? What should you eat?"
Sure enough, the new animal No. 5 I saw yesterday was bigger in just one night! This growth rate is simply terrible!
Dr. Marin's smile became deeper, but in my opinion, his expression was a little stiff.
"It's just some ordinary feed. Their feeding will definitely not occupy human survival resources. A grain of rice is so expensive now. We have more practical feed. Do you want to see it?"
Just as Feng was about to refuse, Zhao Kai agreed, "I think about it! I want to see!" Zhao Kai could not see Feng winking at him at all, and was still saying to Dr. Malin, "When I was a child, I raised a few pigs at home, so I have always been very interested in this aspect!"
"Haha." Dr. Marin laughed dryly and led the way forward.
We came to the back of the laboratory. The lamp wattage here was extremely high, and the corridor was illuminated like daytime. On both sides of the corridor were small houses with glass windows. There was a horizontal bar under the window, and some sticky things were piled up inside, which should be feed.
"These are test samples No. 2 in these rooms. The survival rate is quite high and it is still in the observation period."
I saw that there was indeed a group of animals in these rooms that looked like hairless cats, but their faces looked more like mice and had some thin hair on their bodies.
"This is New Livestock No. 3, which is a semi-finished product. The meat produced by this thing is too small, so we continue to improve the New Livestock No. 4."
New Animal No. 3 is a small body with hair on its body. When people come and make noises, they squeezed into the room densely.
"Behind this is our feed studio," Dr. Marin pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and a smell of rotten smell came to his face...
There is a large mixer here, rumbling around, and the things that are stirred are some dark brown and viscous fluid.
"What kind of raw materials are used? Why is it so smelly?"
The top of the mixer was constantly cutting the material, and a few small pieces of raw materials fell out. I saw that it was one foot, a human foot.
"It's a corpse." Chaoyang patted Zhao Kai and said softly.
"Yes, the breeding of Xinjian No. 4 also requires meat or grain as raw materials, while Xinjian No. 5 has been completely transformed into scavengers. Now there is nothing outside, and the most undeficient one is carrion."
As the feed was finished, two people came and carried it away, entered the breeding area and prepared to start feeding. The feed was poured into the horizontal bar. The new animal No. 5 immediately rushed over and scrambled to eat it. Looking at the scene, I swear that I would not eat meat from the shelter in the future.
Changes always happen when people are most unprepared.
The glass next to it suddenly broke all over the floor. The glass window of the No. 4 of the new animal next to it was smashed. One by one, the long-haired black mice that were bigger than dogs jumped out, and their thief's eyes were rumbling under the hair...
"What's going on!" Dr. Marin was also a little panicked and questioned the staff next to him.
"I don't know! The glass was broken from inside!"
"How can tempered glass break? Hurry up and press the rescue button! Call out the outpost to reinforce!"
"Why are you so nervous when the glass is broken?" Yu asked in confusion.
"They are carnivorous." Xiwu had already pulled out his close-fitting knife.
One of the staff members leaned against the wall and carefully wanted to press the communication button at the door, but they were already noticed by these things. These things surged up like a tide and instantly flooded a person.
Jiji Jijiji's sounds came one after another. When we came in, we didn't expect this to happen. The weapons were stored in the disinfection area outside the laboratory, with only the daggers on our bodies.
Xiwu exerted his wrist and the dagger in his hand flew out and inserted it into the legs of a new animal No. 5 who was eating the staff, but this thing was not affected at all and was still feasting!
It seems that it is impossible to get out of the breeding area today without losing a layer of skin... I also pulled out the dagger that Wen Na gave me from between my calves and prepared to try hard.
In less than two minutes, the unfortunate keeper was left with only a skeleton...
"Look at it carefully, this is the monster you have developed!" Wen Na's face was cold and ice, and Dr. Marin, who was hiding at the end of the crowd, was so scared that his glasses slid down to the tip of his nose and didn't bother to push.
Dr. Marin, a new animal raised by himself, feeds the bones of others, without any scruples. What if he wants to feed himself with his own flesh and blood? When the sacrifice is not his own interests, anyone can stand on the commanding heights of morality and speak righteous words to create his own glorious and majestic image.
These things were obviously not full yet, so they noticed us in the corridor. At this moment, the door connecting the laboratory at the other end was opened. A staff member came in. Seeing a group of oversized long-haired black mice gnawing on a skeleton in the corridor, he was also frightened and stunned.
"Call for reinforcements! We are in trouble!" Dr. Marin shouted!
This person reacted quickly, so he quickly pressed the button and the alarm light suddenly lit up in the corridor. These new animal No. 4 should have been living under the light. They were not used to the current dark red light, and began to mess around.
In this gap, we all returned to the feed production room, closed the door and waited for the support of the outpost guards.
