Chapter 104

In this snow-capped world, Gao Chang and the people in this mountainous area raise silkworms and weave cloth every day, and live a very peaceful life. Only from the radio every night can they understand how the outside world is full of gunpowder.

By November, the mutants and the authorities began to blame each other violently.

On November [-], the mutants accused the authorities of brutally persecuting their compatriots, not only conducting cruel human experiments, but also killing innocent people indiscriminately.

On November [-], the authorities responded to the accusations of mutants, admitting that human experiments do exist, but this is entirely because the entire human race on the planet is eager to find a way to successfully mutate, and they do not recognize the claim that human lives are ignored.

On November [-]th, the authorities released a set of data, proving that small groups of loose mutants around the world are attacking human settlements, and even the citizens of some towns were all strangled, accusing the mutants of committing suicide after successfully mutating. Claiming to be a new human being, they don't regard their former compatriots as the same kind and kill them wantonly.

November [-]th...

After nearly a month of warm-up, the war finally kicked off on December 500. The trigger was on December [-]. In an experimental area in South America, more than fifty mutants escaped. , and set off a bloodbath in the local area, more than [-] people were killed.

The South American authorities immediately issued an arrest warrant for him and mobilized troops to encircle and suppress them, while the mutants provided support to those fifty or so people at this time, so the flames of war first raged in the southern hemisphere. Governments of various countries and mutant organizations, Soon there were actions, the contradictions became increasingly fierce, and small-scale conflicts continued.

In the following period of time, good news came from the official channel frequently, but the channel on the mutant side often had poor signal and could not be listened to.Everyone knows that the situation on the side of the mutants is definitely not good. In Gao Chang's mountainous area, those who claimed to support the mutants in the past have also died down.And those who were hostile to mutants at the beginning, encouraged by the victory, are not as afraid of mutants as before. I believe that as long as technology and resources are in hand, those mutants are no opponents of the authorities at all. .

On the night of December 23, the eve of Christmas Eve, a helicopter flew into Gao Chang’s mountainous area and landed on the road next to the seawall. Professor Kong came again, and this time he brought fifty Soldiers, accompanied by a seemingly high-ranking officer.

These people went to various villages to inform that the government had something to announce and asked everyone to gather on the ice in the bay.Gao Chang had an intuition that the person surnamed Kong probably came here this time because he was not kind. He wondered, could this person come for the silk quilts and cloths on their side?

Just in case, Gao Chang and Da Huang stuffed all the cloth at home into the tunnel. There were too many cloths, and even the entrance of the tunnel was filled. Make a show outside.After finishing the work, Gao Chang and Da Huang wandered to the beach to join in the fun, to see what Professor Kong was going to sing this time.

"...Countless tragedies have happened all over the world. Because of the instigation of some unscrupulous individuals and organizations, mutants have a sense of hostility towards us. They hate us, despise us, and think that we are enemies and outdated species. In country M , there was a tragedy where a 13-year-old mutant boy brandished a knife and killed all his family members..."

"We can't imagine how many mutants are lurking around us, what kind of mentality they use to look at us, and when will they bring up the butcher's knife to us..."

"So, for the sake of everyone's safety, the government asked me to come here and ordered me to take away a group of mutants, so as to make everyone's living environment as simple and safe as possible. Please don't hide it for the mutants, we are not Those devils who kill people without batting an eye in the legend, mutants are also human beings, we just took him away, and the subsequent treatment will be discussed and decided by all countries in the world..."

"I want to expose it!" Professor Kong thought that he would have to do a lot of work before someone could come forward and identify the mutant, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, someone would jump up and say that he would expose him. Tsk, who is this person? , It's so annoying.

"Don't talk about exposing, we don't call it exposing. Our action this time is mainly to separate mutants from ordinary people and avoid unnecessary conflicts and killings. Of course, for comrades who cooperate with us, in order to ensure that they We can also take these comrades to the plateau for resettlement.”

"I know who the mutant is!" The middle-aged man in his early fifties yelled impatiently again. Gao Chang saw that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't name him. Who did this guy have any grudge against?

"Okay, comrade, who is the mutant you are talking about?" Professor Kong asked unhurriedly.

"His name is Gao Chang. He catches all the wild boars in our village. He is not a mutant. How can he capture so many wild boars alive?" When did you offend such a person.

"Oh, this comrade named Gao Chang is actually able to help the villagers catch wild boars, which shows that you are also a good comrade, as long as you cooperate with our work..."

"Take it for nothing!" the man interrupted Professor Kong anxiously. "Every pig needs to be exchanged for cloth, and a breeding pig needs to be exchanged for fifty bolts of cloth! Our village does not have silkworms, and we have to help them weave to earn silk. The whole village has been busy for several months. Pay off the cloth owed to him."

I didn't force you to buy it back then!Gao Chang was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to confront the people sent by the plateau face to face, so he planned to sneak away, but he didn't expect that after walking a few steps, someone next to him pointed and shouted: "It's him! He is Gao Chang !"

Hmm... so I have offended so many people unknowingly?Gao Chang secretly kicked Dahuang twice, telling him not to disturb him, but no matter how he kicked, Dahuang refused to move.

"Comrade Gao Chang, please come here first." Over there, Professor Kong had already asked for someone, and several soldiers also pointed their dark guns at Gao Chang. Gao Chang was not afraid of these guns. However, if adults and children get together, it would be a crime to kill one or two by mistake, so I followed Professor Kong's instructions and walked to an open space next to him to stand, and Rhubarb followed him step by step.

"Comrade, this is a special place for mutants." Seeing that Rhubarb seemed a little confused, Professor Kong kindly reminded him that being classified as mutants is no joke.

"I'm a mutant." Rhubarb replied carelessly.

"Variate your size!" Gao Chang slapped Rhubarb on the forehead: "Can you eat food and talk nonsense? Professor Kong, neither of us is a mutant. The guy just now is purely hating the rich, so I can't believe what he said. "

"Oh, of course we will identify this."

"How to identify this thing, you can't drag it out to bask in the sun, what if it dies in the sun? I'm not a cat, I don't have nine lives." Even if he made it clear that he was a mutant, Gao Chang said the same thing Be upright.

"That's right, Professor Kong, how can we judge this? What if another life happens..." The old ninth uncle from Gaochang Village stood up and spoke.

"You can't say that he is a mutant just because he can catch wild boars. This kid has been running around on the mountains since he was a child, and he has learned a good hunting skill. It doesn't matter if he is mutated or not." Zheng Guohong also began to open his eyes. Eyes are telling nonsense, Gao Chang didn't like to go up the mountain when he was young, he made troubles in the village all day long, and spent time in the elderly activity center when he was older, and it is said that once he went to dig someone's ancestral grave.

"Yeah, yeah, stay in the village well, and haven't been exposed to the sun, how can you become a mutant?" Uncle Ah Shan, Zheng Guofeng and Zheng Rixin all stood up and said that Gao Chang couldn't be a mutant, A group of people chattered about, talking about why they worked together and rested together, and said that Gao Chang had never left their sight, and there was no chance of becoming a mutant.

"Needless to say, let me have a test and it will be clear." At this time, the officer who seemed to have a lot of background came in front of Gao Chang and the others. This man had the same hairstyle as the monk from Baohua Temple. However, due to the different occupations, the temperament is also very different.

"How do you plan to test it?" Gao Chang had never heard of it. There are other ways to test whether a mutant is a mutant besides basking in the sun.

"Simple." The bald man's eyes turned cold, and he raised his leg and swept towards Gao Chang's thigh. Gao Chang looked at his strength and speed, and guessed that if he was kicked hard, he might have broken bones, so he hesitated , Do you want to use bitter tricks?If he hadn't been cheated, wouldn't he have lost his wife and lost his army? Moreover, the situation between him and Rhubarb didn't seem to be serious enough to use bitter tactics.

"!" Just when Gao Chang was hesitating, Da Huang next to him stretched out his hand and grabbed the officer's calf. Gao Chang was afraid of this man's background, afraid of poking a hornet's nest, so he patted Da Huang's arm secretly, Rhubarb was going to crush the man's calf with all his strength, but after receiving Gao Chang's hint, he raised his hand and knocked the man to the ground.

All the soldiers nearby suddenly became nervous, and they all aimed their guns at Gao Chang and Da Huang.

"He said he wasn't a mutant!" the bald officer got up from the ice and said angrily.

"Why are the mutants the only ones you can't beat? See clearly, our brother is using authentic Shaolin Kung Fu." Gao Chang has never been an honest one.

"Whether it's Shaolin Kungfu or a mutant, when we get to the plateau, there will naturally be a special person in charge of identification, and I invite the two of you to come with us. If there is a misunderstanding, Kong will apologize to the two of you." .” Professor Kong was polite and tough.

"Hmph, that means it's useless to say anything." Since it's useless to say more, Gao Chang didn't bother to waste his words. He only thought about the current situation and how to deal with it. It's definitely not possible to go to the plateau with these people. With his and Rhubarb's current strength, it's okay to be the king of the mountain in this mountainous area. If you want to go to the plateau to become the king, you'd be a little overwhelmed.

However, we can’t kill these people here. No matter whether they are killed or not, they will definitely be targeted by the plateau. In case their mountainous area is treated as a cancerous tumor, it will be troublesome. It’s best, Still don't get into conflict with these guys.

escape?No, once they escape now, these soldiers will definitely have to search from house to house, especially Gao Chang's house. Maybe the cellar will be searched. The property that has been accumulated for so long should not be moved all at once. all clean.This kind of search is easy to hurt people, like Wei Chengying, who is a mutant, and there are many monks in Baohua Temple. will be comfortable.

Soon Gao Chang figured it out, they had better do nothing now, and escape when the plane was halfway through. If they were lucky, they could create the illusion that the two of them were dead.Even if these escorts have doubts, they are unlikely to stop and search halfway. Now mutants can be said to be blooming everywhere, and it is impossible for the plateau to chase them to the ends of the earth just for two mutants.

After making up his mind, Gao Chang sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and then stayed on the sidelines watching the show without saying a word for a while. This Professor Kong is really good at lobbying. They all started to waver.They are mainly villages made up of people from the south. The structure of these villages is relatively loose. They have fled all the way from the south, and the chance of mutation is indeed very high.

After a dozen or so mutants were exposed, there was no movement in the villages for a long time, and Professor Kong reassured everyone: "Everyone believe me, for all comrades who cooperate with us tonight, the plateau has already arranged for you. Once the residence is settled, a lot of jobs have been prepared for everyone.”

"I'm not going to the plateau, I'll just stay here." The man who just exposed Gao Chang spoke again.

"I know that it is not easy for you to build this place. It took a lot of hard work and life is relatively good, but have you ever thought that the flames of war outside are constantly spreading, and one day, it will burn to your place. By then, you will not How can the protection of the government and the army fight against mutants?"

Professor Kong’s words seemed to be addressed to the man just now, but in fact, he was implying that everyone present should cherish this opportunity to move to the plateau, don’t hesitate any longer, and quickly tell the mutants you know .

"I think you'd better go obediently and stay with them on the plateau." At some point, Bai Bao stood beside the man who exposed Gao Chang.

"What... do you mean?" Anyone who lives in this mountainous area is not afraid of Bai Bao.

"Comrade, don't scare the villagers." Professor Kong also had a headache. He had stayed here for a while to resettle refugees, and he knew that Bai Bao was a small boss, and he had a lot of people and weapons. If it wasn't for him Afraid that behind him is the power of the entire plateau, as far as the fifty soldiers he brought today are not necessarily taken seriously.

"I'm not scaring him. I'm concerned about him. After all, there is only one life, so you have to cherish it, don't you think so?" nor.

"Comrade, with you like this, how can we carry out our work?"

"I see that your work has almost been carried out. It is enough to bring a dozen people back. How many more do you want to arrest?" To be honest, of the ten people who were exposed just now, except for Gao Chang and Da Huang, the remaining eight They are not good birds, and they usually show off their power and live a low-key life. They haven't been dug out yet, so it can be seen how bad this guy's popularity is.Bai Bao is speaking now, but he refuses to let Professor Kong and the others continue digging.
