Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV
Chapter 242 The Truth About Food
Su Chen became curious, so he took Meng Qi and walked towards the iron gate.
The soldiers at the door noticed Su Chen and immediately raised their rifles, aiming them at him.
"Halt! No entry!"
"Blinded your dog eyes!"
Sun Jiancheng, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward and, taking advantage of the situation, said...
"This is our base's deputy leader!"
These soldiers already knew that there was a new deputy leader in the base.
They were startled and quickly lowered their guns.
"Do you have an identification card...?"
Su Chen took out the card that Zhang Zuming had given him and showed it to the soldiers.
After confirming his identity, the soldiers immediately raised their hands in salute.
"Greetings, Deputy Leader!"
Su Chen then nodded slightly and said slowly,
What's behind the door?
"This one……"
The soldiers hesitated, seemingly unwilling to tell Su Chen.
But this only made Su Chen more curious.
"Move aside, I'll go in and see for myself!"
"The leader has stipulated that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter..."
"I can only say this helplessly," a soldier said.
"You heard it too, it was unrelated people!"
Shi Menglei sneered.
"But the person in front of you is the deputy leader!"
The soldiers looked at each other, but eventually made way for each other.
Su Chen, along with Meng Qi, Shi Menglei, and Sun Jiancheng, pushed open the iron gate and went inside.
To their surprise, the scene at the entrance was not terrifying.
First, there is a clean and tidy corridor with various sprinklers on both sides.
Before the apocalypse, Su Chen had seen similar places on television.
Generally, when entering or leaving a laboratory or sterile production workshop, one needs to pass through such a corridor for disinfection and sterilization.
After walking to the end of the corridor, there were three doors in front of Su Chen.
Each door has a sign that reads "Feeding Room", "Monitoring Room", and "Production Room".
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen decided to go into the monitoring room first.
He pushed open the door to the monitoring room and walked straight in.
The room wasn't very big; all you could see were rows and rows of screens.
There were also four or five people wearing white coats observing the screen.
Meanwhile, there are several huge floor-to-ceiling windows directly opposite the entrance.
Upon hearing the door open, they turned around and were taken aback when they saw Su Chen and his group.
"Who are you? You can't just come in here!"
Su Chen didn't waste any words with them and directly took out the card!
The group instantly became respectful and bowed to Su Chen.
"Greetings, Deputy Leader!"
"What is this place used for?"
Su Chen asked.
The group exchanged glances, and one of them, a middle-aged bald man who looked like the leader, cautiously said,
"Reporting to the deputy leader, this is a place where food is produced for the lower-level survivors."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiancheng became interested.
Unlike Su Chen and Shi Menglei, he was a survivor who had lived as cattle and horses on the lower levels.
Despite my extreme disgust, I usually eat those dark, mushy protein chunks.
But he was still quite curious about how this thing was made.
So Sun Jiancheng quickly walked forward, stood by the window, and looked down.
Below the window, there was a roaring machine and two production lines.
As the machine continued to run, chunks of black protein appeared on the production line.
Several workers stood beside the assembly line, sorting protein blocks into wooden crates.
Sun Jiancheng stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how these protein blocks were made.
He turned around and asked the middle-aged bald man,
"What are the raw materials for this thing?"
"this and that……"
The middle-aged bald man stammered, as if he had something difficult to say.
Just then, Su Chen suddenly patted Sun Jiancheng on the shoulder.
"Don't ask so many questions, let it go."
"what?"
Sun Jiancheng was completely bewildered, noticing that Su Chen and Shi Menglei both had rather strange expressions.
He subconsciously glanced at the surveillance camera next to him.
It can be seen clearly through the screen.
Inside a huge room, there were countless wooden crates piled up.
These wooden boxes are made up of layers of drawers.
Countless tiny, dark cockroaches were going in and out of the wooden crate!
Several base staff members wearing white coats appeared to be feeding the cockroaches.
Sun Jiancheng was surprised to find that the cockroaches mostly ate leftovers and human excrement.
What shocked him even more was that Liu Chengbo, who had just been beaten to death by Zhang Zuming, was also dragged over.
The cockroaches swarmed over and frantically devoured his corpse.
Upon seeing this, Sun Jiancheng's face turned pale instantly.
He quickly grabbed the trash can next to him and started vomiting!
Su Chen and Shi Menglei, who were standing to the side, also looked a bit pale, but their reactions were not as intense as his.
After all, neither of them had ever eaten those black protein blocks.
Putting aside their ugly appearance, cockroaches are actually quite nutritious.
Its protein content is six times that of beef, and its amino acid content is also quite rich.
In addition, it also has medicinal value.
For example, Kangfuxin Liquid, made from cockroaches, can treat gastritis, gastric ulcers, and other ailments.
The post-apocalyptic film "Snowpiercer" features a similar plot.
The ruling class processed large numbers of cockroaches into black protein blocks and provided them to the lower classes as food.
But Su Chen and his two companions never expected that Lin Yuxin would do such a thing!
What shocked them even more was that the humans who were killed were directly used as food for cockroaches!
Su Chen now understood why this iron gate could not be entered or exited at will.
joke.
If the surviving cattle and horses at the bottom of society knew that they ate cockroaches every day...
No matter how much Lin Yuxin tries to brainwash them, they will probably betray him!
"Hmm...you're doing a good job, keep it up!"
Su Chen gave the middle-aged bald man a few perfunctory words and then left with Sun Jiancheng and the others, whose faces were extremely pale!
After leaving, the three stood at the doorway, looking at each other, speechless.
"Brother Su, Brother Lei, please don't mention this matter again!"
Judging from Sun Jiancheng's dejected expression, it's easy to see that this matter has become a source of inner turmoil for him.
Su Chen and Shi Menglei looked at him with great sympathy, then nodded.
After resting for a while, the group continued their journey down to the next level.
Although the people of the All-Seeing Eye treat the survivors like cattle, they don't exploit them to the point of death.
The survivors on the lower levels were divided into three shifts, taking turns to work.
When Su Chen and his two companions arrived at the lower level, the survivors who were off duty and resting were gathered together.
The people with the all-powerful eye are brainwashing them!
"The great, all-powerful eye is the one that unleashed divine punishment, brought about the end of the world, and punished those who do not believe in it!"
