Chapter 31 Volunteers Our poor son never ate until he died...
A five-centimeter-long transparent strip of eye drops lay quietly in Ji An's hand.
Ji An said: "This is a daily pack. One pack a day can maintain a whole day's energy and the most basic nutritional needs. It can be taken for a long time."
Ji An heard Wan Xueying and Kong Zhongcheng gasping louder than the other, and they were obviously quite frightened.
Ji An's lips curled slightly. Is this amazing? There is something even more amazing to come.
"This nutritional supplement can achieve a food energy conversion rate of over 80%. The nutritional supplement made from the amount for one person per day can be used by at least 80 people per day."
The human body cannot convert 100% of the energy in food. In fact, most of the energy is wasted. Such a high energy conversion rate is really amazing. One person's food can feed 80 people. This data is really scary!
What a concept that would be!
Very little food can feed many, many people!
There will be no more hunger in the world from now on!
The benefits will be felt in the present and for generations to come!
Gu Jinsheng's eyes, which were usually calm, flickered. If the nutritional supplement was real, it would mean that human diet would have crossed the era from now on. It also meant that food would no longer be in short supply, and there would be no hunger in the world.
From now on, the word hunger will completely disappear from the human dictionary.
"Fuck..."
"Fuck..."
"What the hell…"
"Forgive me for my poor language which cannot describe my feelings at this moment. My admiration for you is like the endless flow of the Yellow River..." Kong Zhongcheng was so excited that he was talking nonsense and he didn't even know what he was saying.
But no one present laughed at him, including Wan Xueying.
"Ji An, you are so outstanding!" Gu Jinsheng's praise was so poor and pale, but it was his most sincere inner feeling at the moment.
He really couldn't figure it out. Was Chen Chen really an idiot? Why didn't he choose such an excellent person, but chose a white lotus bitch? Because his position as the commander-in-chief was too stable, and he wanted to shake it up a little. Now, he shook too much and fell!
I don’t know if one day, if Chen Chen finds out that the space storage props and nutrient supplements are all made by Ji An, will he slap himself on the spot!
Ji An smiled modestly, and his slightly raised chin spoke of his incomparable pride. He was just that outstanding!
"Xiao An, our base is willing to fund your research, including providing experimental sites and accommodation, as well as a series of other security measures. We don't want your scientific research results, we just hope that the nutrients can be supplied to us first." Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An with deep eyes. He seemed calm, but underneath was a beast that was about to be uncontrollable. The beast was ferocious and dangerous. Once it came out, it would definitely choose someone to eat.
Ji An seemed to see the unpredictable nature and the dangerous beast beneath the calm surface of Gu Jinsheng's lake.
He turned away in embarrassment, "Okay, I accept. I can agree to your terms, and I can guarantee that the nutrient will only be sold to you. If other bases want to buy it, you have to nod your head."
"Ji An, you are so nice. It's a blessing for our entire base to have you!" Kong Zhongcheng was so careless that he didn't notice the difference in Ji An's words.
Wan Xueying carefully discovered that Ji An was talking about you, not the Beijing base.
This partiality is too reckless, that is to say, as long as Gu Jinsheng is the commander-in-chief of Jingshi Base, the nutrient supplement belongs to Jingshi Base for one day. If Gu Jinsheng is no longer the commander-in-chief of Jingshi Base, the nutrient supplement may not belong to Jingshi Base, and it is even questionable whether Jingshi Base can still sell it in the future.
I believe that when that time comes, there will be many bases that will openly welcome Gu Jinsheng to be their commander-in-chief.
On the other hand, the psychics in the Jingshi base are not fools, and no one can let such a harvest god get away.
Ji An is openly and honestly standing on Gu Jinsheng's side, so Gu Jinsheng's position is secure.
Wan Xueying couldn't help but sigh, "Chen Chen is an idiot!"
Kong Zhongcheng repeated, "Chen Chen is an idiot!"
In Dongcheng, two half-grown teenagers gathered together. In fact, they were already fifteen or sixteen years old, but after seven years in the apocalypse, the two children had been living a precarious life with insufficient food and clothing while growing up. As a result, the two children looked much smaller than their actual age, like they were just over eleven or twelve years old.
The two children are very thin, so thin that one would suspect that a stronger wind would blow them away.
They wore the most primitive hand-woven straw sandals on their feet.
"Boss, do we really want to sign up as volunteers for that experiment?" The teenager named Zhu Liangping was worried. "I heard that it's a shady experiment, and it's just to trick us into doing human experiments. We might even have our organs harvested."
Wei Kang said, "Then don't go. Your family is not desperate. I can't do that. My parents went out with a team to hunt zombies a few days ago and got nothing. They both broke bones. My sister is twelve years old. It's her prime. I can't let her go out to work. Those men will eat her!
I need money, lots and lots of money!
Wei Kang, I will accept it even if these people lock me up and conduct human experiments on me.
I actually hope they tear me to pieces, so that I can get the highest compensation. A full one million, with this one million, my family can move to West City, and I won't have to worry about those disgusting scums eyeing my sister anymore."
When saying this, the young boy Wei Kang did not feel much pain or sadness about his possible death. On the contrary, his eyes were surprisingly bright, filled with longing for a better life for his family in the future.
Zhu Liangping gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go too. Although my parents both work in the factory, they can no longer afford to support the three of us brothers.
A few days ago, one of my father's fingers was crushed by a machine. The factory compensated him with some money, but he was reluctant to spend it on medical treatment, saying that he wanted to leave it for us to spend.
He bandaged himself twice and went to work. He didn't know if he was still bleeding.
Anyway, I still have my two younger brothers, and my family doesn’t need me anymore. Even if I die, my parents will still have someone to take care of them.”
"Well, let's go together."
After the two young boys made up their minds, they were afraid that their families would object after knowing it, and they were also afraid that they would change their minds. Not wanting to give themselves the chance to regret it, they decided to sign up without hesitation.
By the time their family members found out, they had already entered the laboratory. They simply told their family members where they were going, and were afraid that their family members would come looking for them, so they said that they had signed a contract, and if they went back on their word, they would have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation.
This astronomical sum of money has deterred the children's families from making a fuss, and they are also more convinced that with such a high penalty, these children may not come back.
Wu Youyang walked in with the list, looking a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Ji An asked.
"All the volunteers we recruited are old, weak, sick and disabled. Among the male volunteers among ordinary people, more than 70% are homeless people. The remaining 20% are children, and less than 10% are ordinary adults. And those volunteers with special abilities are all the lowest level special abilities, and most of them have hidden diseases left in battle."
This is normal. If it weren't for physical reasons, people with special abilities would always be very self-righteous and think they are a level higher than ordinary people. How could they be willing to participate in an unknown experiment?
These people with special abilities must have been injured while on a mission as a team, and ordinary hospitals cannot treat them.
The healing psychics only provide free treatment to the psychics who are injured in the base missions. For those who form their own teams to carry out their own missions, it costs a lot to ask the healing psychics to help. That is an astronomical amount, which low-level psychics can't afford at all.
"Isn't this exactly what we want?" Ji An said, "Those healthy people won't see much change in their bodies even if they don't eat nutritious food for a month. On the contrary, if these malnourished people are subject to the experiment, we can better observe whether the nutrition of the nutrient is balanced and whether it can guarantee the most basic nutrition needed by the human body."
Wu Youyang slapped his forehead and laughed, "I am the one who is in a trance. That's exactly the truth. If these people come in pale and skinny, and we make them plump and white when they leave, then it will prove the success of our experiment."
Wu Youyang went to distribute the nutrients happily.
Wei Kang and Zhu Liangping felt very uneasy being sandwiched among unfamiliar adults. The two of them squeezed into a small corner. Fortunately, there were people watching them 24 hours a day and no one cared what they did, except that they were not allowed to fight.
"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!" someone shouted from afar.
Those adults who had just been lying lazily and looked lifeless, when they heard about the meal, they rushed over as fast as a leopard.
Wei Kang and Zhu Liangping didn't dare to compete with these people, so they stood quietly at the back of the team.
Seven or eight staff members came over from a distance, one of them was holding a small plate in his hand. The plate was really small, so small that it could only hold a larger apple.
Wei Kang and Zhu Liangping looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.
With such a small amount of food, one person couldn't be full. The adults would definitely grab it all in one go, and the two of them would have to starve. If it was okay for one day, they wouldn't be able to get any food if it was like this every day.
"One for each person, drink it on the spot after getting it." One of the people distributing food said to everyone.
The homeless man at the front of the line took a look and discovered that the thing on the small plate was a kind of food he had never seen before. It looked a bit like the artificial tears eye drops he had used before the end of the world.
He was in a desperate situation and just wanted to find a place to stay. He was not afraid that it was poisonous. He took one without hesitation, unscrewed it and drank it in one gulp.
The nutrient solution was at most ten milliliters, and it was gone as soon as the homeless man tasted a little bit.
He smacked his lips and it tasted good, it seemed to taste like corn. The homeless man couldn't remember how long it had been since he last had corn, he really missed the taste.
"Can you give me another one?" the homeless man asked boldly with a greedy look in his eyes.
The psychic had empty hands in the previous second, and a whip appeared out of thin air in the next second. With a snap, he swung it in the air, making a crisp sound in the air, which scared the homeless man who was asking the question and he walked aside.
The psychic didn't intend to hurt anyone in the first place, he just wanted to have a deterrent effect, otherwise he wouldn't be able to scare those homeless people who would risk their lives for food.
"One for each person. Anyone who dares to take more... humph!" The psychic snorted coldly. The punishment was more frightening than if he didn't say it.
Everyone took their food one by one. When it came to Wei Kang and Zhu Liangping, they were afraid of being snatched away, so they didn't dare to take it far away and ate it right there in front of the staff.
The people in white coats saw that they had all eaten, wrote something down in their notebooks, and then left.
After the others left, Wei Kang dared to speak in a low voice, "I don't know what they gave us to eat, it was quite delicious. Mine seemed to be made of sorghum, and it smelled like sorghum."
Zhu Liangping said: "I think mine tastes like corn. I'm not sure. I ate corn a long time ago and I'm not sure what it tastes like."
The two of them smacked their lips, savoring the taste a bit.
"They won't just give us this to eat, right? It's just a little bit. Will we be full? Will we be hungry at night?" Zhu Liangping asked.
Wei Kang rubbed his stomach with his hands and asked strangely, "Do you feel full?"
It was so strange. His stomach was growling just now and he was so hungry, but it stopped growling now. He no longer felt hungry and instead had a long-lost feeling of fullness.
Zhu Liangping rubbed his stomach and widened his eyes. "Really? I feel full too. What did they give us to eat? How come we are not hungry after such a small amount?"
"I don't know, maybe this is an experiment."
Wei Kang didn't know that his mother was already crying at home. Twelve-year-old Wei Xiaomei had experienced too much hardship and was no longer a child who knew nothing. She knew that her brother had participated in a very cruel experiment for their family and might never come back.
Father Wei sighed deeply, "We still have some credit points at home, we will go buy some good things and make something delicious for Wei Kang. That child has never eaten anything good with us, and we don't know what he will do if he participates in an experiment now. He should eat something good, even if he dies, he will die well-fed."
Mother Wei wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I bought him delicious food and meat. Wei Kang hasn't eaten meat for many years and has forgotten what meat tastes like.
I will do it for him to supplement his nutrition. Maybe if he gets enough nutrition, his body resistance will be stronger and he will be able to withstand the test and survive. "
Thinking that her son might never come back, Wei's mother gritted her teeth and bought an egg, a pound of meat and two ounces of rice.
This meal was extremely luxurious. When Wei's mother cooked it herself, she was drooling with greed.
But thinking that this might be his son’s last meal, he forced himself to suppress his greed.
After the meal was ready, Wei's mother and father carefully escorted the food to the outside of the experimental site and begged the old man who opened the door, "Please be kind and have pity on the child. Give this to him, just a little bit to eat."
The gatekeeper refused and said, "The people inside are all volunteers. What if you send food and affect the results of the experiment?"
"No, no." Father Wei said quickly, "It's just some ordinary ingredients."
Mother Wei said, "Please do me a favor and bring the child in. I'll give you a reward for your hard work. How about 20 credit points?"
"No, no." The guard waved his hand.
"Fifty." Father Wei gritted his teeth.
At this time, Rong Fan passed by and heard: "The people inside are all experimenters. They are doing experiments now. They are absolutely not allowed to eat outside food. Otherwise, it will affect the experiment. It is definitely not something you can afford."
Seeing Rong Fan in a researcher's uniform, the security guard nodded in agreement. He turned to the Wei family's parents and said, "Take it away quickly. Do you hear me? People here can't eat food from outside. If it affects the results of the experiment, can you afford the compensation?"
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of compensation mentioned in the message left by Wei Kang, Wei's parents did not dare to argue and left silently.
Mother Wei wept and said, "It's a pity for our son. He never had a good meal until he died."
