"So, I'm not sure if Song Pinxuan dreamt about future events."
"If he did dream, he might know more than I do. Because after I died, he should have lived for a very long time."
After hearing Tang Li's words, Tang Guo nodded thoughtfully.
Then she asked with confusion, "Then... what caused you to be able to dream of the future?"
"Why only you can dream, and others can't?"
Tang Li didn't mention the energy contained within her body, nor that these people had eaten her flesh and blood, or perhaps eaten the rice worms fed by her flesh and blood, thus dreaming of past lives.
After all, this matter was too serious.
Once people discovered that her flesh and blood still had such a function, she might really be captured and sliced for research!
Even more so, if people wanted to try her meat to be reborn with her... that would be too terrifying!
At this moment, hearing Tang Guo's question, Tang Li could only pretend to be foolish, shake her head, and slip away after finishing her meal, feeling a little guilty.
Tang Guo didn't dwell on the question for too long. After finishing her meal, she continued to wash clothes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Pinxuan indeed dreamt of past events again.
And, unlike before, it wasn't just repeating those three scenes.
This time, he dreamt of three segments, and they were clearer than before.
The first segment was an extension of the first scene.
"Director Song, the cannibalistic bandits lurking near C City have been wiped out. One survivor has been rescued, and they're still breathing!"
Following this voice, Song Pinxuan arrived before a small hut.
This hut was not a building from before the apocalypse, but rather resembled the lair of some primitive tribe, dug mostly into the ground, and very crude on the outside.
On the wall outside the hut, a row of corpses hung, men and women, old and young, all disemboweled and frozen stiff by the extreme cold outside.
Inside the hut, it was very dark, dirty, and messy, and various strange smells could be detected.
On the ground by the entrance, a row of neatly dressed corpses was laid out, clearly having died not long ago. They were all members of the cannibalistic bandit gang, shot by the soldiers.
Beside the stove, a girl was hung upside down.
Song Pinxuan took a closer look and saw it was Tang Li!
At this time, her arms had already been severed, and her wounds were frostbitten. Her upper body was still tightly wrapped, but the pants on her legs had been cut off inch by inch, revealing her pitted, scalded legs. Her face was pale, and she was on the verge of death.
Seeing Tang Li like this, Song Pinxuan inexplicably felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He Yun in the dream had the girl, Tang Li, taken down. After a simple examination, he shook his head at Song Pinxuan.
"Give her a quick death and send her to feed the rice worms,"
Song Pinxuan heard his dream-self say.
Then, without looking back, he left...
The second segment was an extension of the second scene.
"All from Jiangcheng Research Institute, why does your Institute Number One claim all the organic matter for yourselves, and not share any with other institutes?"
He Xiao's angry voice reached Song Pinxuan's ears.
Then, a stiff voice came, "Simply because our Institute Number One holds the transgenic technology for manufacturing the first generation of rice worms, and yours does not."
Hearing this stiff voice, Song Pinxuan frowned.
The accent did not sound like it was from Country Z, but rather like it was from Country R, which was doing quite well to the east.
As expected, He Xiao then said, "Your Country R people control all the materials needed for research into transgenic technology. How can our Country Z researchers master the transgenic technology for manufacturing the first generation of rice worms?"
This time, before the Country R person could speak, someone spoke in an official tone:
"Researcher He, mind your words! This is the most critical moment for humanity. Why are you differentiating between Country Z and Country R? You are disrupting human unity! You truly lack foresight!"
The dream-He Xiao was trembling with anger and wanted to say something more.
At this moment, Song Pinxuan saw his dream-self stop him and say to the person who had just spoken,
"Director Wu, regardless of anything else, this batch of organic matter was collected by my team. For your Institute Number One to claim it all for yourselves doesn't seem conducive to human unity, does it?"
Hearing this, the Director Wu said, "Alright, then I'll give Director Song some face. Your Institute Number Seven can pick 5 specimens from this batch of organic matter."
It was then that Song Pinxuan saw Tang Li's scalded legs in the sterile room.
