MTL - After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain-Chapter 78 078

78/Seven Streams

Lu Yan's eyes fell on Zhao Ke.

In the first ten days of September, Zhao Ke had already put on thick clothes, and the elderly were afraid of the cold, but when everyone was still wearing autumn clothes, it seemed a little out of place.

A few years ago, Professor Zhao, they were still in their prime when they were in class. Although there is still a smile on his face now, the whole person shows a withered and dying old state, and age spots have grown on his face, which is embarrassing.

Professor Zhao wears sunglasses on his face.

The squad leader sighed: "When the first teacher went to the school, Teacher Zhao was sad. I broke my eyes from crying, and I couldn't see the strong light. I have been wearing it all this time."

Lu Yan thought for a moment, stepped forward, and held Zhao Ke's arm very carefully.

"Professor, long time no see."

Zhao Ke stretched his neck, looked at it for a long time, and smiled brightly: "It turned out to be Xiao Lu. I haven't seen each other for many years, and I'm getting more and more handsome. My wife used to talk about it a lot, and she wanted to talk about matchmaking."

Lu Yan could feel that his body was as cold as a piece of ice. There's also some unnatural stiffness.

Zhao Ke only held it for a moment, then put it down. Sit down at the main table.

He is surrounded by students who are still in Ph.D. and who were close in the past.

Lu Yan didn't join in the fun. He has more than enough respect for his teachers, but not enough closeness.

The system imitated Tang Xun'an's tone, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: [Have you figured it out? ]

However, it is a mechanical sound that is not very pleasant to the ear, and the subwoofer effect is discounted.

Lu Yan thought for a moment: "Dead?"

Zhao Ke's body was very cold, not very warm. But it can also be explained by the weather.

The reason why Lu Yan guessed this was because of the faint smell of formalin on his body, and during the extremely short gripping process, he probed forward with his fingertips, but could not feel the pulse.

[right. ]

Lu Yan took out his phone. The data shows that the peak of the pollution value just now was only around 10.

If ordinary people have been exposed to pollutants, it is a normal pollution value residue.

This also shows that, at least Zhao Ke has not become a pollutant.

Thinking about it, if Zhao Ke was a pollutant, Tang Xun'an might have drawn his sword for the safety of the rest of the audience.

On the main table, Professor Zhao smiled and chatted happily with the monitor and others, coughing a few times from time to time.

"This period of time has been in a mess. These young people are still thinking about me, a half-hearted old man. The teacher is very happy."

Zhao Ke, apart from looking a little thin, doesn't look like a dead person. Even his words and deeds are quite different from each other.

This made Lu Yan very puzzled.

The system hummed twice: [Do you know my importance now? ‌Now I go to my teacher's house and I can still catch my wife.  After a few days, she ran away. ]

"Does the haunted house of Changming Medical College have anything to do with this?"

[Have. The teacher who cheated on the corpse was a critically ill patient that Zhao Kejing had seen. ]

Lu Yan's lips pursed.

With the current information, it can only show that Professor Zhao has been exposed to pollutants. According to the process, the next step is to investigate the prevention and control of heart disease. If necessary, ‌notify the special operations ‌door person to deal with it.

After all, pollution diseases are frequent now, and there are not many people in the whole city who have been exposed to pollution sources. Some even just brush past low-level pollutants in a car. The main reason for people who are concerned about prevention and treatment to investigate is to reduce the workload.

He thought about it and sent a message to Tang Xun'an: "I want to investigate Zhao Ke."

After a while, the phone vibrated.

"Okay. Approved."

Tang Xun'an, chief of the prevention and control of pollution diseases in city a.

It has the final right of interpretation for the prevention and control of pollution diseases in city a.

The prevention and control heart quickly released the home address registered in Zhao Ke's household register, as well as all the properties under his name.

Professor Zhao worked hard all his life and saved 2 suites in city a. One is for my own living, and the other is for my daughter.

The prevention and control heart also called out Zhao Ke's general scope of activities from the monitoring system. Hospital, school, home, three points and one line.

According to the process of classmates gathering, after dinner, I have to find a dance hall to contact my feelings.

The squad leader was so angry that he had already shut down a nearby ktv.

The monitor Lu Yan sent a message: "Wait, can you take Lao Zhao to ktv?"

Squad Leader: ? ? Lao Zhao was getting old and said he wanted to go back to sleep.

Squad leader: Besides, why did Lao Zhao go to ktv, and he didn't go.

Lu Yan: Please.

After finishing speaking, I also sent a cute and cute kitten emoji.

The squad leader was stunned, and he patted his chest and said, "Okay, okay. Don't worry, this is my brother."

The system let out a sneer: [Oh, man. ]

Lu Yan quietly cleared the chat history to avoid unnecessary emotional disputes in the future.

Tang Xun'an was drunk and couldn't drive. Lu Yan took the responsibility of the driver very consciously.

Although he doesn't drive often, it's not that he doesn't. But for safety reasons, it's slower. An hour has passed by the time we reach our destination.

Although Professor Zhao has worked in Yan'an for a long time, he still cannot afford it in the third ring road of City A.

I heard that the mortgage was just paid off five or six years ago.

This is an old neighborhood, built decades ago.

The car was parked in the parking lot, and Lu Yan followed the location of the prevention and control and arrived at the door of Professor Zhao Ke's house.

Although it was deliberately concealed, the degree of pollution on the detector still rose to 300 when he arrived at the door.

Now, even without the system explanation, Lu Yan understood that there was something inside.

He was thinking about how to pick the lock when he saw Tang Xun'an's slap on the doorknob, and immediately, mottled rust appeared on the brand-new doorknob.

Tang Xun'an shook it vigorously, and the door opened.

Lu Yan couldn't hold back, and said to the system, "Look at other people's time, take a look at it."

The system was rarely choked, and didn't really want to talk.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong stench of corpse.

All the windows here are blocked with iron fences, and the curtains are drawn during the day, so the visibility is extremely low.

Lu Yan stood at the door and didn't move.

Although it was pitch black, he still saw that every corner of the room was covered with thin threads.

These threads are long and thin, with clear mucus on their surface. Like cobwebs and silk.

[My wife is now a silkworm mother. Or rather, Gu worms? ]

[These silks are neurotoxic. Although the pollution value is not high, it is best not to touch it. If only 07 was there. His karmic fire is deadly to many animals and plants. ]

Tang Xun'an pulled out the knife, and the pitch-black Tang knife chopped silk threads, and these transparent threads quickly withered. and continue to spread outward.

[My wife has a rare disease and is gradually freezing. There is currently no cure for this disease.  The teacher was desperate and chose to believe in the remedies suggested by a person who cultivated Gu. ]

"Who is the person who raises Gu?"

[‌You can call him Master Gu. ]

[Professor Zhao keeps a Gu worm in his wife's house. Afterwards, the teacher really got better day by day. But people also began to slowly distort. In the end, the whole person was distorted to the point where he couldn't get out of the door...]

[So, Professor Zhao lied to the public that his wife died of illness. ]

[People who live with pollutants for a long time usually don't have a good end. If there is no way to complete the evolution, the body will gradually decay under the influence of pollutants. ]

[Half a month ago, Zhao Ke died. His body is dead, but his consciousness is still alive. ]

Tang Xun'an used a knife to pick up the thread and said, "‌Wait for me at the door, it's a little dirty here."

He had the impression that Lu Yan's cleanliness addiction was already serious.

"Nothing."

Lu Yan walked into the room, the value of the detector in the ‌ fluctuated up and down, and finally pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

The air was thick with the stench of corpse, and the bedroom door was still locked.

Tang Xun'an pushed open the door. Inside is a snow-white silkworm cocoon.

The entire cocoon is more than two meters long and is translucent, revealing the pollutants inside.

Lu Yan lit it with the lamp, like a curled up bug. There are also short red touches on the fat and soft limbs.

This pollutant is obviously still conscious, and after seeing the two of them, its limbs keep squirming, trying to break the cocoon ahead of time.

In the bedroom, the pollution value has soared to 700.

It is conceivable that when this silkworm emerges from the cocoon, it will be another pollutant that will cause headaches in the prevention and control of local governments.

Tang Xun'an drew the knife without hesitation.

There was a sound at the door at this moment.

"Don't touch her!" Zhao Ke let out a roar and stumbled towards the bedroom.

He ran fast, and the lights were not turned on indoors, so he inevitably fell on the ground.

The sunglasses fell from his face, revealing eyeballs that were so cloudy that they couldn't see their pupils.

"Don't touch her, don't touch her!" Professor Zhao knelt on the ground with a "pop" and hugged Lu Yan's ankle, "Sujuan has never hurt anyone, never hurt anyone!"

"I admit, I stole some of Sujuan's corpse to eat. It's all my fault," Zhao Ke's body trembled violently and burst into tears, "It's not Sujuan's fault, you caught me. Go to jail, that's fine. Lu Yan, teacher has never asked anyone in his life, just ask for this one! I have already arranged for retirement, and I will take Sujuan back to my hometown in a few days... The teacher kowtowed!"

However, his voice quickly caught in his throat.

Tang Xun'an took out the knife quickly, and retracted the knife the same way. So that ordinary people only saw a layer of inconspicuous knife light.

Green blood splashed out from the silkworm, and the silkworm mother let out a painful roar and was cut into two pieces by the middle.

One of her faces was still human, and her upper body fell to the ground, neighing in pain.

Green blood splattered on Zhao Ke's face, causing him to lose all language in an instant.

The silkworm mother's body began to weather from the wound, like a dehydrated mummy. The lower half of the body has completely turned into a soft worm, which is very disgusting and hideous.

Professor Zhao slowly opened his mouth and crawled forward, a vein-like blood vessel bursting out of his neck.

"Sujuan...wife...no pain, no pain, I'm here."

He was speechless, hugged his wife, opened his mouth, and wept loudly.

The mistress stretched out her arm and gently touched Professor Zhao's face. She was originally dying, but after becoming a pollutant, she was rejuvenated and had an extraordinarily youthful face.

This is what Zhao Ke remembered. They met when they were young. On the first day when Gao entered the school, Zhao Ke was thinking about how good-looking this girl is.

After falling in love and getting married, Professor Zhao raised her like a daughter for more than 40 years. The wife did not do a day of housework at home.

He cured many sick people, but he could not save his lover.

‌Di‌drops of tears slid down Zhao Ke's face.

Lu Yan stepped forward and said, "Teacher. From the moment she became a pollutant, she was no longer a teacher."

Silkworm chrysalis break out of cocoon and become moth. Airborne pollutants are always particularly troublesome to deal with. It roamed the city, reaping people's lives.

Professor Zhao sat on the spot as if he didn't hear him, holding the silkworm mother motionless.

The mother worm died, and as a daughter worm, Zhao Ke could not live for long.

Only a few minutes passed, and obvious corpse spots appeared on his exposed skin.

Tang Xun'an has seen a lot of life and death. But every time they parted, it still made him feel heavy.

He wants to smoke.

"She didn't hurt anyone, she didn't hurt anyone. Why...why do you want to do this?"

Zhao Ke murmured.

The silkworm mother twisted in his arms, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

"Speak, Sujuan, speak." Zhao Ke hurriedly lowered his head and spoke softly.

The silkworm mother hugged his head, with tears in her eyes, but she quickly opened her mouth and bit into Zhao Ke's face.

[The pollutants are seriously injured and need food and energy to recover...] The system said, with a sympathetic and mocking tone, [this is ‌most pollutants. Maybe some sane. But it's impossible to stay sane forever. Just a failed evolution. ]

The corpse that has been dead for a long time is no longer bloody, the scene is not bloody, just a little scary.

After Zhao Ke died, the silkworm mother's body also struggled for a while, completely motionless.
