Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 180th day after the invasion

Zhang Jiuzhang made a snort in response to President Christen's remarks.

A little embarrassment appeared on the president's face.

He never liked to communicate with these soldiers, and Jesus knew he was a politician.

Regardless, the support team has taken root here.

As Duan Yi warned Krissen, this is a long-term struggle.

Once they were stationed in this city, it was a full two months.

——This is something that no one thought of at first.

Duan Yi and Zhang Jiuzhang originally thought that this support mission would last at most half a month, but they didn't expect that it would actually take much longer than they estimated.

The soldiers of the support team will be replaced by a new wave of recruits every half a month.

This is the plan given by the psychological experts on the Ark. According to the weekly psychological assessment of the soldiers, the psychological experts believe that soldiers must have an alternation in such a high-pressure environment, otherwise they will have stress disorders.

Soldiers came and went, but Duan Yi stayed there all the time. As the captain of this support team, all deployment actions were his decisions, and he couldn't leave.

"Then I'll go first, see you in a week." Zhang Jiuzhang boarded the helicopter and looked at Duan Yi.

Duan Yi nodded slightly, watching Zhang Jiuzhang and other soldiers leave.

When Zhang Jiuzhang returned to the ark, he saw his friends on the deck waiting there.

He squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

When he got off the plane and walked towards Du Nanrong and Lin Qian, he said, "Duan Yi stays there, if you want to wait for him, you don't have to wait stupidly."

Du Nanrong scoffed, and said, "Can we not know Duan Dui's whereabouts? The doctor has already known the news that Duan Duan is not coming back."

"We're here to pick you up." The little girl Du Jingshu said with a smile, "My dad originally thought you should be in the last batch, but I didn't expect to squat for nothing."

The few of them were staying here at this time last week, discussing that they would give Zhang Jiuzhang a welcome surprise and celebrate his return, but they didn't expect to be happy for nothing.

Later, Lin Qian checked the list of returning personnel, only to find that Zhang Jiuzhang's name had been crossed out again.

"Did you bring any special gifts back?" Du Nanrong asked jokingly.

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Want a special gift? It's easy to say, I will bring it to you next time."

Du Nanrong wondered when Zhang Jiuzhang became so talkative.

In the next second, I heard Zhang Jiuzhang say: "It's minus [-] to [-] degrees over there, and everything is kept very fresh, such as freeze-dried heart, spleen, liver and lung... oh, and the frozen eyeballs, crystal clear, that's true. I can bring you a few pairs back."

"Fuck you." Du Nanrong had goosebumps all over his body.

Zhang Jiuzhang grinned a malicious smile.

A group of people returned to the base lively.

Just a few hours after Zhang Jiuzhang finished his observation and isolation period, he was dragged back to the dormitory by Lin Qian and the others, drinking beer and eating hot pot to celebrate.

"The bottom of the hot pot is made by Du Gong. It is very fragrant and delicious." Lin Qian said.

Zhang Jiuzhang twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the red bottom of the pot, and looked at Du Nanrong: "This is the bottom of the pot used to celebrate my return? Does it hurt me?"

Du Nanrong rolled his eyes towards the sky: "I know you can't eat spicy food, so it looks spicy, but it's not really spicy."

Zhang Jiuzhang was skeptical, so he rolled a piece of mutton and dipped it into the mouth of the dish. It was fragrant but not spicy, refreshing but not greasy.

"Du Gong made it specially." Lin Qian added, "We usually eat heavy spicy pot."

Xu Ying continued: "Gong Du has improved the rations of our entire base."

Indeed, at the beginning, no one thought that they could still eat hot pot in the ark of the base. Everyone thought that it would be good to live, and they were busy rebuilding every day, so not many people would think about eating.

Du Nanrong usually gave a small talk to the members of his team - Lin Qian had been staring at Du Nanrong ever since he ate hot pot last time.

Later, Dugong brand hot pot became famous and became a must-have dish in the cafeteria.

A big pot as tall as a person boils red oil soup every day. In order to be able to cope with the canteen dishes, the hot pot has simply become a shabu-shabu and a hodgepodge.

In Lin Qian's words, the happiness index soared exponentially.

Zhang Jiuzhang was a little surprised when he heard that, he didn't expect Du Nanrong to have such a trick.

"Du Gong is very popular in our base. Sister Bing likes to tease Du Gong." Lin Qian laughed.

Du Nanrong blushed.

"By the way, where's the doctor?" Du Jingshu looked around and asked curiously, "Didn't the doctor say that we'll come over to eat together later?"

Du Nanrong thought of it when he heard the words, and said, "Then I'll go to the next door and call the doctor, he should come out of the laboratory by now."

He said getting up and going out.

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Qian, "How's the progress of the vaccine?"

"I don't know, I might as well ask Nan Nan or Du Jingshu, they are the ones who stay in the lab with the doctor all day long." Lin Qian pouted.

Zhang Jiuzhang turned to Luo Xiaonan and Du Jingshu, who were eating pork belly with sauce.

Luo Xiaonan was stared at by Zhang Jiuzhang, and with a flick of his chopsticks, the meat in his hands fell into the bowl.

The little guy swallowed, and asked softly, "Uncle Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jiuzhang wondered, is this kid so afraid of him?

"How's the progress of the vaccine from the scientists?" Zhang Jiuzhang asked, not expecting Luo Xiaonan to know, he looked at Du Jingshu.

Du Jingshu replied: "I heard from the doctor and other experts and teachers that it seems to have entered the third stage...but I don't know what stage it is."

The little girl pursed her lips: "However, more than 300 batches of vaccines have failed."

Zhang Jiuzhang's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the situation was not very good.

Du Nanrong knocked on the door and walked into Cheng Sheng's bedroom: "Doctor..."

As soon as he spoke, he took it back, and saw Cheng Sheng resting one hand on the desk, propping his chin, with his eyes slightly closed, facing the communication display screen.

Du Nanrong blinked—is the doctor asleep?

He glanced at the monitor and saw Duan Que online.

Duan Yi nodded slightly to Du Nanrong, and Du Nanrong nodded nervously, and then gestured that he would go out immediately.

He closed the door softly and backed out again.

"Why did you come back alone?" Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows when he saw Du Nanrong, "Where is that scientist?"

"The doctor is asleep." Du Nanrong consciously lowered the decibel and said, "Duan Duan is in a video connection with the doctor. I think the doctor is asleep, and Duan Duan is still watching from the other side of the screen."

Xu Ying took a deep breath, it was so sour.

Zhang Jiuzhang was not surprised: "Don't talk about it, last time Duan Yi and I met two white bears of unknown species at the glacier. Duan Yi actually wanted to take a video of Cheng Sheng and show him the white bear."

"The doctor wasn't in the lab at that time?" Lin Qian asked.

"No, the two of them watched for a long time around the two white bears. Behind them were everyone making a fire to barbecue, and the fire was so bright that they were the only ones in front of the video. They were out of place." Zhang Jiuzhang rolled his eyes towards the sky, very disdainful.

Du Nanrong thought about that scene and couldn't help laughing.

"I remember another time, when the doctor was having dinner with us, the communicator beeped." Lin Qian also remembered, and added, "When I opened it, I saw Team Zhang coming out of the stomach of something. climb out."

Zhang Jiuzhang's face turned black.

"This dog, I'm in the snake's stomach, and he's videoing?!" Zhang Jiuzhang cursed.

Lin Qian slapped his thigh with a smile.

That time, Zhang Jiuzhang was swallowed by the mutated snow python, which frightened both teams. In the end, Duan Yi cut the snow python vertically from head to tail, and released Zhang Jiuzhang.

Zhang Jiuzhang was in the belly of the snow python, and his body was covered with digestive juices. Thanks to Duan Yi's fast speed and durable equipment, otherwise, something serious would happen.

Zhang Jiuzhang just didn't expect that he was still in the snow python's stomach, and Duan Yi had a video with Cheng Sheng in a blink of an eye, which was really annoying.

"Didn't the Duan team rescue you?" Duan Rong laughed until tears came out, "Don't the Duan team still have to hug you and comfort your heart that was swallowed by the snow python? Hey——"

Du Nanrong was the first to be disgusted by the picture he imagined.

Goosebumps on Zhang Jiuzhang's arm, he shook twice vigorously: "Nervous!"

"I guess that snow python is quite special." Xu Ying said objectively.

The little girl Du Jingshu poked her chin and said: "Snow python... I remember the teacher said before, it seems that there are only a hundred or so left in the world."

"That's no wonder." Du Nanrong smiled with a double chin.

"I thought it was too bad that Team Duan and the doctor haven't seen each other for the past two months. I didn't expect him to be sticky." Lin Qian clicked his tongue.

Xu Ying smiled: "It's no wonder that the schedule behind the doctor is very stable. It turns out that there is a video team watching."

"No wonder, I've been wondering why Duan Yi's communicator has to be charged every day." Zhang Jiuzhang complained.

Like him, the communicator can last up to a week.

Du Nanrong glanced at Zhang Jiuzhang sympathetically, that's it?Standby for a week?This is not enough to explain the problem?

"Those who don't know think that you are not popular and no one cares about you. It's so pitiful." Du Nanrong said, "When you come over next week, I will also call you every now and then."

Zhang Jiuzhang was disgusted with a dark face.

However, when Zhang Jiuzhang and the recruits returned to the team the next week, he really missed the greeting call that Du Nanrong had said.

"Fuck, you're lying." On the first day, Duan Yi turned off the video call with Cheng Sheng, and Zhang Jiuzhang didn't wait for Du Nanrong's greeting call. He was so angry that when the hunk kept vigil, he shot several infected people close by.

The next day, Du Nanrong's greeting video came, and Zhang Jiuzhang answered the phone with a blank expression. Just watching the video, everyone appeared in the camera, even Cheng Sheng.

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows.

"Happy Birthday, Team Zhang!" Lin Qian said with a grin, grinning his big white teeth.

Du Nanrong was holding a small cake in his hand: "The first time I made a cake, it was a bit of a failure. I will make another one for you when you come back."

"Are you very angry that you didn't wait for my call yesterday?" Du Nanrong moved closer to the camera, winking at Zhang Jiuzhang.

Zhang Jiuzhang pursed the corner of his mouth that was about to raise: "... nerves."

Du Nanrong chuckled, after being a roommate for so long, how could he not understand Zhang Jiuzhang's temper?Last night, Zhang Jiuzhang must have been so angry that he cursed at others. I don't know which recruit was shot.

Cheng Sheng also stood in the camera: "The good news is that the 328th batch of our vaccine has entered the third phase of clinical trials, which means that we are only one step away from success."

Zhang Jiuzhang's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really!?"

"You are the first to know the good news, as a birthday present." Cheng Sheng said.

Lin Qian turned his head and asked Cheng Sheng in a low voice, "Doctor, is this not against the rules?"

"Where are the rules?" Cheng Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Lin Qian choked, too, how many times has Director Lu broken the rules for the doctor?For the doctor, there are no rules.

Zhang Jiuzhang let out a sigh of relief. The good news Cheng Sheng brought was undoubtedly the best birthday present. He was very surprised that Cheng Sheng would do this. He looked at Cheng Sheng and thanked him in a low voice.

"Come back soon, I'll wait for you." Cheng Sheng said, and after he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"He didn't wait for Duan Yi to come?" Zhang Jiuzhang asked in wonder.

Xu Ying asked, "What is Duan Duan doing?"

Zhang Jiuzhang turned his head to look for Duan Yi, and after scanning around, he found Duan Yi, who was standing next to the mobile shower cart, holding a communication device in his hand.

Zhang Jiuzhang walked slowly behind Duan Yi, and glanced at the face on the communication device, it was indeed a doctor.

"Shou Xing just walked past you." Cheng Sheng said.

Duan Yi turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jiuzhang: "Happy birthday."

Zhang Jiuzhang: "..." The couple crawled for the master.
