Chapter 5 Individuals and the drastic changes of the times(1/2)
...
At five o'clock in the morning.
In the living room, Shen Yingying was wearing pink bunny pajamas and sitting on the sofa. She was holding a cup of steaming coffee in her hand, and there was some suspicion on her pale oval face.
The coffee table was piled with all kinds of food, most of which had been opened, leaving only the bags, all of which were eaten by the boy in front of him.
This was the first time Shen Yingying saw this side of the other party, because Shen Ran didn't eat a lot before, otherwise the other party's body wouldn't have been thin.
"So the blood in the room was just an accident? Did you really not commit suicide?" Shen Yingying repeated it again.
"no."
Shen Ran shook his head, and then ate a large piece of the synthetic meat leg under the strange look in the girl's eyes.
"That's still raw..." Shen Yingying's eyes were ugly, and then a faint fear arose. She felt that the other person seemed to have changed now, and turned into a savage.
Is it such a big blow?
"Actually, you can also learn maintenance skills from my father." Shen Yingying thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, my family can still afford to support you."
As long as your food intake can be restored later... the girl thought to herself.
"Um."
Shen Ran was still eating and didn't intend to say too much to the other party.
Shen Yingying drank all the coffee in the cup. When she stood up, she looked at the food on the table. "According to the book "Calories and Protein Intake" published by the Federal Health Organization, a normal healthy man needs to consume It is 1980 to 2340 calories. And you have obviously far exceeded this standard. I would like to suggest that you don’t overeat just because you are in a bad mood.”
"There is no need to show your excellent memory to me." Shen Ran replied.
Hum ~ Shen Yingying was in an inexplicably happy mood, and suddenly turned her head seriously, "If you dare to touch me suddenly in the future, I will destroy you!"
"Don't scream at night. You're afraid of blood. What a coward." Shen Ran curled his lips and said to himself that he didn't really want to touch you at that time.
boom!
The girl returned to the room and closed the door.
After the cousin entered the room, various expressions appeared on Shen Ran's face.
"What's wrong with me?" Looking at the empty food bags on the table and looking at his round belly, Shen Ran's face was filled with sadness.
I have eaten so much that I can no longer hold on, but why do I still feel as hungry as a tarsal maggot?
However, compared to the beginning, it is much better now, at least within the tolerable range.
Moreover, I don’t feel the anemia and weakness I felt when I first woke up.
It's almost done...if I eat it any more, my aunt will be shocked tomorrow and think there's been a burglar in the house.
Shen Ran stood up and started to clean up, but when he bent down, he suddenly paused.
He saw that the trash can was full of cigarette butts.
Suddenly, the scene of his second uncle sitting on the sofa alone appeared in Shen Ran's mind, with a look of helplessness on his face, and he kept smoking. The smoke was so thick that he couldn't get rid of it.
.......
I went back and tidied up the room.
Shen Ran put the broken eggshell of the black egg into a small box and put it in the same drawer as the ashes from the burned letters of the third uncle.
The young man was still a little frightened, and he didn't want to think about the scene when this creature that broke out of the black egg penetrated his body.
"It's no big deal. Just stay alive."
Turning off the lights, Shen Ran lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to get some sleep at last. After all, he had to go to class today.
In a silent dark room.
Not even a moment passed before Shen Ran opened his eyes suddenly, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
Creatures hatched from black eggs beyond recognition, blue light radiation, deep blue network...
All these things made it impossible for the young man to sleep peacefully. These are definitely not things that an ordinary person can bear.
"Who is the third uncle? Where is he? What does he know?" Shen Ran now desperately wants to find the third uncle and uncover all the mysteries about himself.
After a while, a faint light came on in the room.
Shen Ran was lying on the bed, looking at his phone. After being lost for a moment, he clicked on the short video software. Looking at the scantily clad and sexually suggestive beauties dancing in it, he saved a few good pictures, and his mood gradually improved a lot.
Early morning.
The central building of the underground city, the light energy tower, slowly rose, while also activating the modular buildings in each region.
It is a majestic building. There are many large solar reflectors on the surface of Mars. Each of them can accurately reflect sunlight and concentrate it on the receiver of the light energy tower. The light concentration magnification on the receiver can exceed 1000 times. It will convert the absorbed solar energy into thermal energy, and then transfer the thermal energy to the working medium, through the heat storage link, and finally output it in the form of electrical energy.
The sun is so great that almost all the energy humans need comes from the sun.
In the most primitive period, no matter where human civilization originated, worship of the sun god was always indispensable.
However, everything slowly changed.
Breakfast on the family table.
The second uncle and aunt talked about Xing Neng on the news broadcast last night again.
Because the second uncle and aunt were considered highly educated talents before, but because they were suppressed, their horizons are not too small, and their views on the upcoming star energy era are actually not very optimistic.
"Humanity is still in the early and middle stages of research on nuclear energy, and yet another type of star energy suddenly appeared."
Shen Yingying would occasionally add a few words and say, "If controllable nuclear fusion is realized, wouldn't it be possible to step into the next era?"
The second uncle only smiled after hearing this, "That's still too far away. People nowadays can't wait to conquer the universe."
"In the nuclear energy era, will the painful lessons of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima happen again?" Shen Yingying asked again.
"It's definitely unavoidable," the aunt replied, "but compared to this, what ordinary families like us need to worry about now is that the emergence of this new energy source will completely widen the gap between the Earth Federation and Mars. During this period, the Fire City may not be able to be peaceful again."
"You must bring an electric shock baton. When you encounter suspicious people, you must be cautious and protect yourself."
The second uncle looked at Shen Ran and Shen Yingying seriously.
"Yeah." "I know."
Both children responded together.
...
After eating breakfast, Shen Ran went to school.
While walking on the road, he truly felt the insights of his second uncle and aunt.
In the Hi-tech Zone alone, people have already begun to gather for demonstrations.
Some people refuse to allow Xingneng to enter the Fire City, saying that they want to use the place where everyone lives as a testing ground. If an accident occurs, who can bear the responsibility?
Some people call these people stubborn feudal remnants who still want to do things behind closed doors after 2327 years.
"Xing Neng..."
Shen Ran thought about it briefly, but still didn't pay attention to these things.
For a young man, politics and social events are not his areas of concern.
Moreover, I had a change that was almost completely transformed last night.
Like now, in addition to the fact that his body is still full of hunger, Shen Ran also clearly feels that his sensory organs have undergone great changes.
To put it simply, the ears hear more sounds and the world seen by the eyes becomes clearer. This is also the most intuitive feeling.
But there's more to dig out...
Shen Ran suddenly stopped.
For a moment, the world seemed to have stopped.
In a breakfast shop on the street, a basket of steamed buns had just come out of the oven, and the middle-aged boss had a smile on his face. Amidst the steaming heat, a girl in school uniform took the buns and said sweetly, "Thank you." boss."
Opposite her, several young men squatting on the street corner were looking at her with obscene eyes. The right eye of one of the yellow-haired young men was transformed into a prosthetic eye. There were four gears in the pupil. Through the eye that extended to the corner of the eye, From the mechanical texture, it can be determined that it is the third generation of the Eagle's prosthetic eye. The last time I saw it, the market price was... The brand new one was 70,000 Mars coins!
At this time, a conflict broke out in the parade around him. A Xingneng supporter waved an M3 model mechanical fist and hit another opponent. The fist drew a slow trace in the air, and the surrounding crowd showed their faces. Surprise, anger, scolding, etc. expressions.
At this moment, the length of time was stretched one after another, and the pictures of the world began to play frame by frame like a movie or TV drama.
What is even more surprising is that a large amount of information in each frame flows into my mind like a river.
thump!
At this moment, Shen Ran's heart beat violently.
Like an overloaded engine, after reaching a limit, the body's functions are finally unable to maintain. The almost frozen picture suddenly shatters! The information and noisy sounds are like an erupting volcano, flooding into the brain!
For an instant, his brain felt as if countless steel needles had been pierced into it, and Shen Ran couldn't help but scream in pain.
Bang!
At this time, the fist landed heavily on the other person's face, shattering his facial bones and causing blood to splatter.
"What's wrong?"
But everyone's attention was diverted to another place.
To be continued...
