Hearing Gnawa's words, Jiang Baimian opened his mouth, but said nothing.
She already remembers that one of the core settings of Ghnava is:
Protect and serve humanity.
Long Yuehong said subconsciously:
"They don't necessarily feed on humans......"
As he spoke, he fell silent.
At this time, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen passed under the bare corpses that had been air-dried high in the cave, and came to the depths that were already in disarray.
Bai Chen swept around, not moved by the situation here, but simply commented:
"A complete group of 'mindless'."
This is the habit of wild wanderers, who feel that using "tribe" and "tribe" to describe a small society composed of "heartless people" is an insult to humans, and prefer to use "group" to refer to this situation.
Jiang Baimian quickly recovered, frowned and said:
"Among the dozens of 'mindless', there are two 'higher mindless' who have awakened their abilities, and in terms of proportion, the abnormality is already obvious.
"This is simply a special case, the probability of natural mutation cannot be explained, and there must be a certain reason behind it."
How rare the "High Mindless" is, it can only be seen from the fact that An Ruxiang, Wu Shoushi, and their ruin hunter team did not pay much attention to similar things when they explored the ruins of Swamp No. 1.
"Unless this itself is left of thousands of 'mindless people'." Bai Chen helped Jiang Baimian fill in the loopholes in his logic.
In a place like Swamp No. 1 Ruins, in addition to the special things brought by Xiao Chong, the number of "heartless people" is enough to support the birth of many "higher heartless people".
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"Let's search here separately, check the body, and see what clues we can find."
Long Yuehong gathered her mood and cooperated with Bai Chen to search every corner of the cave.
After a long time, Gnava reported the preliminary autopsy results:
"There are no pinholes left on these corpses, and there are no signs of surgery."
This preliminarily ruled out the possibility that scientific experiments caused this group of "mindless people" to be abnormal.
Because to do experiments, regular blood sampling analysis and comparison are inevitable steps, and there is a high probability that some traces will remain.
In some cases, judging the effect of the experiment through surgery is also a solution.
Shang Jianyao squatted next to a corpse, pressed the back of his hand against his chin and said:
"Almost all corpses have traces of radiation, including lymphoma."
"Do you still understand this?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.
Shang Jianyao pointed to Gnava:
"You can always trust the old guys."
Just now, Gnava had already communicated with him about this situation.
He forced it.
Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:
"It doesn't say anything.
"Many of the areas where 'heartless people' are active are places with serious pollution, otherwise, they would have been completely eliminated by the regular army of the big forces."
"Not necessarily." The honest Shang Jianyao began to retort, "There are so many wilderness wanderer settlements, don't those big forces have control over them? They have limited manpower and too many places to hide."
"But most of those wilderness wanderer settlements are in places where the environment is relatively harsh and can barely survive, relatively suitable for farming, and the water resources are not polluted, and they are all occupied by large forces." Long Yuehong helped Bai Chen reply.
Jiang Baimian clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, okay, continue the search."
Seven or eight minutes later, Jiang Baimian squatted next to a mutilated corpse, touched the metal decoration of his blue coarse striped cloth trousers, and said to himself:
"It has a strong magnetic ......"
"Is this an old world trend?" Shang Jianyao leaned over with a curious expression, "People of different genders wear pants with different magnetic poles, and once men and women get close to a certain extent, they will directly suck together, so if you don't like it, please keep enough distance?"
What is this idea...... Jiang Baimian admitted that he couldn't keep up with the idea of feeding at all.
Fortunately, she didn't need to think about how to respond to this guy, the "deaf and clear" Gnava had already spoken:
"I also found this problem.
"The metal decorations on the clothes and pants of several corpses have been magnetized."
Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, he stood up and said:
"Is this because they are wearing their original clothes, and the remaining 'heartless ones' have been replaced with those wilderness wanderers?"
So, one is magnetic, the other is not.
Jiang Baimian's guess was quickly confirmed, because Long Yuehong and Bai Chen found bats, daggers, kitchen knives, iron rods and other items near another exit of the cave.
Among these, as long as they are metallic, there is more or less a phenomenon of magnetization.
Based on this, Jiang Baimian gave his own guess:
"This group of 'mindless' people should come from a place with heavy pollution, where there is a strong magnetic field for some reason.
"However, it is currently impossible to determine whether they originally settled there or passed by during migration."
"The number of 'high mindless people' among them is obviously affected by strong magnetic fields?" Long Yuehong is more concerned about this issue.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"You can go and try it.
"Maybe it will succeed?"
I'm not stupid...... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.
Shang saw that the more he said, the more excited he became:
"If it really works, you can find someone to try whether the awakening ability can be inherited......"
Belch...... Long Yuehong wanted to speak but stopped.
"Huh." Jiang Baimian interrupted Shang Jianyao's imagination, "The awakened person has appeared for so many years, if it can be inherited, do you think the company will let you and me stay single?"
"Maybe it's just a lack of the right pairing." Shang Jianyao tried to insist.
Jiang Baimian ignored him, looked around and said:
"We are now going to other nearby wilderness wanderer settlements to find out where there are heavily polluted areas with disturbed magnetic fields.
"Well, bury the bodies here, bury them deeper, take away all the valuable items, don't waste them, and you can trade them later."
…………
In a wilderness wanderer settlement located in the ruins of a city, several members of the "Old Tune Team" met the leader known as the Elder.
- This settlement relied on the sewer system of the original city and developed a society of nearly 300 people.
Their main food is edible moss and mushrooms, and the environment of sewers and urban ruins hideouts is only suitable for these plants.
Therefore, as soon as Shang Jianyao saw the elder, the first question was:
"Is it delicious?
"Are mushrooms and moss delicious?"
The elder was in his forties, with a messy brown beard, and his eyes seemed to be a little short-sighted.
He smiled slightly proudly and said:
"These have been screened for several generations, and the taste is definitely not a problem."
After saying that, as if he was afraid that the "old tune team" would be worried, he pulled the blue coarse cloth clothes and added:
"It's just that the yield is very problematic, we have planted it in so many places, but there is still not enough to eat."
Frankly speaking, if these outsiders hadn't directly found the door and shown great strength, he would definitely not have received it.
Jiang Baimian asked with great interest:
"Mr. Dawson, normal mushrooms and moss shouldn't be able to grow like this, right?"
Dawson rubbed his hands unconsciously:
"There used to be a research institute here that specialized in improving mushrooms and mosses, and we found the information they left behind and experimented for a long time.
"I'm still doing this."
Papa, Shang Jianyao applauded and said:
"It's amazing, can we exchange canned meat for your mushrooms and moss later?"
Dawson was stunned for a moment, and said with joy:
"Okay."
Long Yuehong was suddenly a little scared:
"Besides mushrooms and moss, what do you usually eat?"
He originally wanted to ask if anything bad would happen if he ate too many mushrooms and moss, but he thought that the other party would definitely not answer truthfully, so he gave up the idea and planned to let Gnawa quantitatively test whether it was toxic in the future.
Dawson replied not too carefully:
"We also organize hunting, and mushrooms and moss will attract mice."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Baimian glanced at the rusty pipe outside and asked tentatively:
"Mr. Dawson, is there a place in the surrounding area that is heavily polluted and the magnetic field is very disordered?"
Dawson asked suspiciously:
"What is a magnetic field?"
"......" Jiang Baimian quickly adjusted, "It's the place where the metal you carry will become heavier......"
Dawson recalled:
"There is no such place nearby."
In a burst of disappointment from Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and others, Dawson's words changed:
"But we once had a hunting party go to a place farther to the west, where there is the situation you described......"
Are you panting...... Long Yuehong couldn't help but scold.
Dawson continued:
"But I advise you not to go, it will be very uncomfortable to stay there for a long time, there is a very powerful bandit group nearby, they are called 'Zorro', and they have dozens of artillery pieces!"
