The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

Professor Jin's eyesight was blurry and he vaguely saw a tall and handsome young man running towards him.

"Grandpa Jin, I miss you so much. Where's Grandma Tang? Why didn't she come?"

"Xiao Hao?"

After not seeing each other for just three years, Xiao Hao had changed so much that Professor Jin couldn't recognize him.

Before he left, Xiao Hao was only as tall as his armpit. After not seeing him for three years, he had grown more than ten centimeters and had become a big boy.

Xiao Hao pretended to be disappointed: "Grandpa Jin, I missed you guys so much, why don't you remember me?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Professor Jin smiled with tears in his eyes, so happy that he didn't know what to say.

"Professor Jin."

Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng greeted Professor Jin at the same time.

Professor Jin pointed at the two of them, his expression indescribable.

Someone told him that Zuo Ling's family was deliberately avoiding everyone, but he refused to believe it.

In his opinion, the apocalyptic natural disaster is beyond human control, so following the military is definitely better than going it alone.

The military made great efforts to search for them, but there was no news. Professor Jin even thought that the family had met with an accident.

I feel regretful. I should have dragged Zuo Ling and her family into the car at that time.

It was not until he saw the family standing in front of him that he was sure that they had really abandoned them on purpose. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

The dog was unwilling to be lonely, so he pushed his big head against Professor Jin and patted his head:

"Okay, okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Zuo Ling invited Professor Jin to come in and sit down. The old man waved his hand:

"No, no, I won't sit down anymore. I heard you guys are back, so I came to see you. Go do your work, go do your work."

Saying that, he was leaving.

Xiao Hao was thinking about Grandma Tang: "Grandpa Jin, where is Grandma Tang? Where do you live? I want to go see Grandma Tang."

"Your grandmother Tang is ill. She was very happy to know that you are back. She urged me to come and see you so that I can go back and tell her."

Xiao Hao was shocked: "What's the disease? Is it serious?"

"Well, when people get old, they always have this or that kind of problems. It's no big deal."

"Let's go and see it together."

Zuo Ling also wanted to go see Researcher Tang.

The condition is definitely not as mild as Professor Jin said. If it could move, it would definitely come along.

I went back to the house and got some things that the old man could use. When I came out, I saw Xiao Hao teaching Ah Si how to recognize people.

"Ah Si, this is Grandpa Jin. Next time when Grandpa Jin comes to our house, you can't bite him. Do you hear me?"

Ah Si had a droopy face, full of impatience.

Seeing Zuo Ling coming out, he pulled back the claw that was held by Xiao Hao and came forward happily.

Xiao Hao pouted, and the face of Ah San who deserved a beating flashed through his mind. Humph! He is just like his king, only knowing how to please his sister.

"Come on, sister will take you to visit some relatives."

Ah Si wagged his tail. He was a cold and aloof wolf and didn't want to visit anyone.

The entire base is like a half-open circle. The outer circle is a hilly area, and the inside is composed of large steel frame structures.

The plantation is located in a hilly area. It is Zuo Ling’s home, and the land under his feet is real.

Most people stand on steel frames.

Factory buildings, living areas, service areas, warehouses, etc. are all built on steel frames.

The steel frame is very tall and strong, and is estimated to be about two to three hundred meters above the sea.

Zuo Ling sighed, this is the power of the country.

"The place you live in is right next to the crescent moon, close to the port. Knowing that you like quietness, the chief has specially approved a place for you. Compared with us, you live in a private house, which is equivalent to a villa in the past. Over there is the living area, where most people live..."

Professor Jin introduced the situation on the island to Zuo Ling's family as they walked, and his words were full of envy.

Living areas, factory areas, service areas, expert dormitories, military residential areas, military strongholds...the areas are clearly divided and well organized.

The most common vehicles on the streets are bicycles and human-powered tricycles.

Seeing many people queuing up to get water on the road, Professor Jin said:

"We drink purified seawater, and each person can get half a pot of cold water and half a pot of hot water every day."

Many people were carrying pots and pans and walking towards a large prefabricated steel house. Xiao Hao asked:

"What's that for?"

"The unified cooking area uses biogas, and each family is given half an hour a day to cook. It is a bit troublesome, but at least we don't have to look for firewood everywhere. Alas, energy was scarce, but now it's pretty good."

Professor Jin was deeply touched by this. Without Zuo Ling's help, it would be difficult for the old couple to have a hot meal.

Although the military has policies that favor experts like them, there are so many people in the base that there are always some areas that are not taken care of. If we were to say who in the base is most looking forward to Zuo Ling's family returning, it would be none other than the old couple.

"That's the kitchen. You can use contribution points to buy food. It's expensive, and there's not much to buy. Most of the people who go to buy food are young people. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry..."

The living area is a simple six-story steel-frame building with stairs on both sides and a long open-air corridor on each floor.

In the corridor, some people were hanging clothes and bedding to dry.

There are several rows of horizontal poles in the open space between each building, which can be used to dry clothes.

Judging from the appearance, each household is no more than 15 square meters, and from the outside, it looks clean and tidy.

On the side roads between buildings, every four buildings share a public toilet.

Due to insufficient water use, some unpleasant smells drifted over with the wind.

When Zuo Ling and his friends passed by, they saw people wearing red armbands checking for issues such as hygiene and safety hazards.

After walking for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at Professor Jin's house.

The expert dormitory area is separated from the living area, and the entrance is guarded by a dedicated person.

The visitors included a wolf, a dog, and a fat rabbit. The guard looked at them curiously for a long time, until the dog got annoyed and barked at him several times before he remembered to open the door and let them in.

The living conditions in the expert dormitory area are obviously much better than those in the living area.

First of all, the building is 4 stories high, and the distance between each household is more than twice as wide as the living area.

I sighed to myself, no matter what time it is, knowledge determines everything.

Professor Jin lives on the first floor.

Pushing open the door, Professor Jin called out, "My dear, Zuo Ling and the others are here to see you."

There was a rustling sound inside, and Professor Jin took a few quick steps:

"Don't get up, don't get up, we are all acquaintances, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Hey, this is not good."

Xiao Hao had already rushed in and called out affectionately, "Grandma Tang, I'm here to see you."

Professor Jin lives in an apartment with an inner and outer suite, a kitchen and bathroom in the outer room, and a bedroom and study in the inner room, which is a total of about 20 square meters.

Just the fact that you can use the toilet at home is enough to make people in the living area envious.

"Grandma Tang, why are you so sick?"

Researcher Tang had a sallow complexion and was as thin as a paper man. His hair was not silver-white like Professor Jin's, but gray, and he looked listless.

Seeing Xiao Hao struggling to get up, Professor Jin half-dragged and half-held his wife to lean on his arms.

"Xiao...Xiao Hao, you have grown...so...big. That's great, that's great."

Divide a sentence into several paragraphs, breathing heavily as you speak.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Hao was about to cry.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Hao has not received much love and care, and he really regards Professor Jin and his wife as his own grandparents.

He touched Xiao Hao's head feebly, looked at Zuo Ling, and tried to force a smile:

"Zuo... Zuo Ling, you haven't changed. You all... haven't changed. That's great!"

Taking a few steps forward, Zuo Ling held Researcher Tang's hand, and a barely perceptible amount of supernatural power was input into Researcher Tang's body, but it only lasted for a moment and stopped immediately.

Researcher Tang felt relieved and relieved. He let out a long breath and said with a smile:

“It’s great to still see you guys!”

She kept saying "how good" several times, which sounded a bit like a dying person.

Zuo Ling smiled and said:

"More than just us, you will be reunited with your sons. We saw them in Kangaroo Country."

Researcher Tang’s illness was caused by, firstly, the changeable climate and malnutrition, and secondly, his worry about his son, which led to his illness as he got older.

Hearing the news about his son, he suddenly summoned some strength from nowhere, grabbed Zuo Ling's hand, and said anxiously:

"Really? You actually saw them?"

Professor Jin was equally surprised.

Xiao Hao looked at his sister nervously. How should he tell Grandma Tang about Uncle Jin Yan?

"Yes, I saw it. Xiaohao even took a photo with them. Xiaohao, show the photo you took to grandpa and grandma."

Xiao Hao took out his cell phone and showed it to the two elders.

"It's really them, my dear, look, it's really them, it's really ..."

Researcher Tang was so happy that he cried and looked visibly more energetic.

"Yes, it's them, it's them, they've lost weight, much thinner, good, good, good, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Professor Jin was more reserved, but he was also so excited that he burst into tears.

While they were looking at the photos, Zuo Ling poured a glass of water and added some space water into it.

"Drink some water and see, you can't run away."

The two elders were fully focused on the photo.

Researcher Tang unconsciously took the water and swallowed it in big gulps, not noticing at all that the water he drank was different from usual.

Xiao Hao was extremely conflicted.

Zuo Ling pretended not to notice and spoke in a relaxed tone about what happened before and after his meeting with brothers Jin Yan and Jin Yu.

After a short while, not only Researcher Tang but also Professor Jin looked in much better spirits than when they first met.
