On this day, Su Cheng was patrolling at the foot of the mountain with his loyal dog Special Assistant when they met five survivors who sat down to rest by the side of the road.
Because their resting place was relatively hidden, Su Cheng and the loyal assistant did not notice them, but they saw them: "Base Commander? Loyal Assistant? You are still alive! Great! Great!"
Su Cheng and his loyal assistant looked at them carefully. They didn't recognize them, but the only survivors of the Hope Base who could call them "base commander" and "loyal assistant" were: "Who are you?"
"Base Commander, we are from Hope Base! It's normal that you don't remember us. There are so many people in Hope Base, and we didn't expect you to remember us all." It didn't matter whether they remembered us or not, as long as you took them in: "Base Commander, please save us, help us! For the sake of our hard work in the past."
The loyal assistant asked another person to inform Lu Xingtang and told him that he had met a survivor of the Hope Base. She was the boss of Hengqiao Mountain and she would handle it.
The man immediately went back and told Lu Xingtang the news. Lu Xingtang took out a gun and quickly came to the foot of the mountain.
"Doctor Lu? You're still alive too?" The survivors were overjoyed and burst into tears of joy. They cried so hard that they didn't notice the coldness in Lu Xingtang's eyes: "We are saved, we are really saved!"
Lu Xingtang took out his pistol and pointed it, scaring them into silence. "First, this is not Hope Base! Don't even think about trying to blackmail us into taking you in! Second, I have the final say here. If you want to live, you'd better leave immediately! Third, you should know who Hope Base hates the most? It's the Twolegs! You should know clearly whether you are a Twoleg or not!"
The survivors suddenly fell silent, looking at Lu Xingtang with fear in their eyes.
"Doctor Lu, we...we..." We were so scared that we couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Lu Xingtang frowned slightly: "Since you are from the Hope Base, I can give you a chance. If you perform well, I will give you three pounds of sweet potatoes each to take with you when you escape! If..."
"We will behave well and only ask Dr. Lu not to kill us." They would rather give up three pounds of sweet potatoes than their lives. In order to survive, they escaped death several times and really did not dare to give up the chance of life that they had worked so hard to obtain.
"When did you leave the base?" What Lu Xingtang wanted to ask was, were they the people of the base who were separated from them after the natural disaster?
"Doctor Lu, the research team said there would be acid rain, an earthquake, a force 16 gale, and lightning all at once. We packed up our supplies and prepared to leave the base to find a suitable place to survive. But before we even left, the natural disaster struck early. We were blown away by the force 16 gale."
"We were a little luckier. We came across a shelter organized by civilians. They saved us and took us in. But as the number of people in the shelter grew, the food became scarce. There were also many cunning, man-eating bipeds in the shelter, and chaos soon broke out. We all came from the same base, so when the chaos started, we stole some of the shelter's supplies and ran away!"
"Later, we went to Seoul Base and lived there for a year. But it was destroyed by an earthquake, just like our Hope Base. We finally managed to rebuild it, but then another earthquake struck, destroying our rebuilt home! The base commander and management took everyone on the evacuation mission. We were out looking for supplies and didn't catch up, so we ended up here!"
"Doctor Lu, Base Commander, and Loyal Assistant, please take us in. We are willing to work like slaves to repay your kindness!" As they said this, the five people knelt down and kowtowed, begging for shelter.
Lu Xingtang smiled. "Your experience is indeed very sympathetic. If you hadn't crossed the line and transformed into a biped, I would definitely take you in! After all, back at Hope Base, everyone worked together to survive, which is enough to prove that you are trustworthy!"
"We are not bipeds and have never eaten humans. Please believe us, Dr. Lu!"
Su Cheng stepped forward and asked, "Do you remember when we were at Hope Base and Eternal Night arrived, how did we distinguish between the survivors and the Twolegs? Who taught us how to tell the difference? Your characteristics completely match those of a Twoleg! Moreover, a while ago, Seoul Base passed by here with everyone migrating away, and we all saw it! If you really were from Seoul Base, you wouldn't be so far behind!"
So, it is clear who is lying.
Lu Xingtang pulled the trigger: "You must stick to your bottom line as a human being. Never eat your own kind!" Bang! Bang! Five gunshots rang out. He watched them fall to the ground. "In your next life, I will stick to my bottom line!"
It has been eight years since the apocalypse. Many people have turned into bipeds in order to survive, and they are no longer surprised by it.
Why are they so stubborn and unwilling to accept the two-legged beasts? Besides the fact that they died at the hands of the two-legged beasts in their previous lives, another reason is that the two-legged beasts cannot change their bad habit of eating people. Even if they change it at that time, they will recall the beauty of eating their own kind from time to time, and will continue to kill and eat their own kind.
There are very few people who truly become better after becoming bipeds!
After Su Cheng and his loyal assistant buried the five bodies, they returned to the courtyard. Seeing Su Cheng's return, Lu Xingtang asked, "Su Cheng, are you..." "Are you okay?" After all, those five people had come from Hope Base. She believed they hadn't initially considered becoming Bipeds. After all, back at the base, everyone hated Bipeds, having become Bipeds to survive. And Su Cheng, as the base commander, she worried he might overthink it.
Su Cheng smiled: "If it were me, I would kill them too! The reason I asked you to go down and deal with it is to let them know that I, Su Cheng, am just an employee!" What's more crucial is that he and his loyal assistant did not carry pistols, otherwise they would have solved the problem long ago without dirtying Lu Xingtang's hands.
"I'm glad you're okay. I don't want our relationship to be affected by a few Twolegs!"
Su Cheng said: "Don't worry, the three of us have been supporting each other since the outbreak of the apocalypse until now. We are family, friends, and partners who walk side by side with each other, so I will not be angry with you because of insignificant people!" This is what is in his heart.
Lu Xingtang was relieved. "Tell my teachers and classmates about the Twolegs. Tell them in detail so they realize how miserable the fate will be if they fall into the hands of the Twolegs."
The loyal dog assistant and the fox special assistant also said that they would work with Su Cheng to talk to them carefully and they would definitely give them a deep understanding.
Two days later, they were harvesting crops in the fields when boiling water suddenly poured down. Before they could even get the crops home, they were already covered in blisters from the scalding.
