The Scavengers

April 10

After discussing with Xue Lihong, Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong did not intend to ask for the grain collected by Zhang Hua. After leaving the supermarket, they drove the rat-repelling ultrasound all the way, and searched the commercial street of the small town centered on the supermarket.

No matter what it is, even if it is hardware, they all move it into the car.And seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are more important in life, and they refuse to let go of any of them.Mutant rats and angels don't like to eat these things either, so much less waste is left over.

Collected from one street, that's not a lot.

During the period, they found another nest of mutant rats, and of course ransacked it.After the mutated mouse's IQ increased, its ability to store food was also greatly improved. Rice, corn, sweet potato chips, and potato chips were dragged back in whole sacks and stacked neatly.

It's a pity that the mutated mice worked hard for more than a month, and all of them were cheap for the scavengers.

The children still don't quite understand what these harvests represent, but the adults in the team, except for Xue Lihong, are all so happy from ear to ear.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two sides met outside the town.

According to the agreement, Zhang Hua wanted to distribute food to the scavengers. Xiao Mo said on behalf of the team: "Major General Zhang will feed so many people in the future, and we have nothing to support. We will give these food to you, to the soldiers, to those people." A farewell gift for the survivors, I hope you all live well and strive for a long life."

Zhang Hua was so moved, thank you again and again, and said more than once, "I will keep in touch with him in the future, I can find him if I need anything, and if he can't do it, I can find a solution with his old man."

The more Xiao Mo got to know Zhang Hua, the more he felt that this major general was very interesting. Most men are rarely willing to say in public that his backer is his father-in-law, but Zhang Hua has no scruples about this at all, even if he was Lu Zhiguo laughed. Not only did he not mind, but he told the other party clearly, "Yes, my father-in-law is behind me."

Those who can do this are usually full of confidence in themselves, and must have a very tolerant heart.They don't mind that their lover and their family members are better than themselves, because he knows that he doesn't need to feel inferior.

Such a person is unsuccessful, unless his luck and ability are extremely poor.But the person who can make such a person look up to and entrust his daughter for life, and the person who can climb to the position of major general in his 40s, will his ability be poor?

"His luck is also good, otherwise he would have died in the base due to serious injuries at this time, even if he survived, he would not be able to fight for the control of the base." Xue Lihong is also very optimistic about Zhang Hua.

Now Zhang Hua and their scavenging team have established a good brotherly relationship. The Zhongshan base will continue to support him in the future. When Zhang Hua establishes a firm foothold in the H city base, it means that they have another backer who can take root.

What Xiao Mo was curious about was another thing, "When you left just now, what did you say to him that made him look so weird?"

"Want to know? Please..."

Xiao Mo put a slap on his mouth and withdrew his palm before he could make trouble, "Actually, you and Your Majesty were made by the same manufacturer, right? No wonder it doesn't like you, isn't this what you call falling in love and killing each other?" ?”

Xue Lihong let go of the steering wheel, turned the chair around, and stood up, "You want to know what love and killing each other is? Shall I demonstrate it to you now?"

Xiao Mo was startled, and rushed towards the steering wheel, "Hey! Car!"

Xue Lihong held him back nonchalantly, "It has an automatic driving function."

Xiao Mo was relieved, and then worried again: "But the road conditions are so bad now, and automatic driving can only be realized in a relatively ideal environment. How smart is this car?"

"Don't worry, this car is smart enough to handle it. If it encounters something it can't handle, it will choose a safe place to stop and warn us at the same time."

A gleam of joy flashed across Xiao Mo's face, "Doesn't this mean that in the future we can travel while we are resting? There is no need for a night watch?"

"This is just the basic function of this car. Boss, let's continue talking about love and death."

Xiao Mo turned around and ran, "It's getting late, since there is no need to watch the night, then I will go back to sleep."

"Sleep? Good idea." Xue Lihong followed closely.I thought you run away, I see where you can go.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Major General Zhang had parted ways with them, and rushed back to the base in City H with a large pile of food snatched from the mutant rat's lair.

Lei Bing and the scavenger team stayed in the small town. They will rest here for one night and set off early the next morning to return to the Zhongshan base.With the rat-repelling ultrasound, the small town has become the safest place nearby.

There was nothing to say all night. Poor Boss Xiao would involuntarily pull his shirt on his chest when he got up in the morning. Although he had repaired himself, the swelling and pain still lingered. Bite illusion.

Cheng Zai joked with him when he saw him, "Brother Xiao, you had a good rest last night, and you look very good today."

Xiao Mo: "...Really?"

"Hmm! Look at your skin is more rosy than mine. Brother Xiao, you are much older than me, aren't you?" Cheng Zai sincerely praised him, then bent down and opened the cupboard door, took out a can of coffee beans, and poured it into the coffee machine. All are harvested in the supermarket yesterday.

Xiao Mo's mood was complicated.

"Good morning, captain! Good morning, brother Cheng Zai!" Two tender childish voices sounded almost simultaneously.

The two primary ones ran into the living room, followed by Old Wu and his wife.

Old Wu was shocked. Although he had heard his wife tell him a lot after waking up,... everything in the base vehicle was still beyond the imagination of this honest man.

When Old Wu saw Xiao Mo, he wanted to come over and thank him.

Seeing his purpose, Xiao Mo hurriedly said, "Old Wu, can you wake up now? How do you feel? Can I give you everyone's breakfast this morning?"

Old Wu didn't have time to express his gratitude, so he patted his chest and said, "No problem! I'm fine, don't talk about breakfast, I can work all day without any problem."

Yuan Yuan wanted to say something, but stopped.Forget it, my husband is energetic, it's better than lying on the bed and thinking wildly, at worst, she will take care of him more.

Xiao Mo smiled, "That's great, we collected a lot of ingredients yesterday, some of them were put in the kitchen, and most of them were put in the vacuum warehouse to preserve the quality, first you can see what can be made in the kitchen, it doesn't need to be too delicate , as long as it can fill everyone's stomachs."

As soon as Lao Wu heard about cooking, his energy came back. He was still very top-heavy when he woke up in the morning, but now when he heard that there were a lot of ingredients, any discomfort seemed to fly away.

Cheng Zai opened the cabinet door and the refrigerator at the right time, "Brother Ang, what can you do? Can you order?"

Old Wu laughed so that crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he said repeatedly: "I can order, of course I can. I will see what ingredients are available later, and I will make a menu for everyone. Just tell me in advance what you want to eat in the future."

"Wow! That's great! It's different to have a chef in the team." Cheng Zai felt so happy before he ate anything.

Lao Wu and his wife started to work while laughing, and Lao Wu kept asking everyone what they wanted to eat.

Xiao Fei and Xiao Yuan stood in front of the refrigerator seriously thinking about the breakfast content. Yuan Yuan smiled and boiled milk for the two children. Cheng Zai said that he wanted to eat a vegetable sandwich, and then said that he wanted to eat fried rice with soy sauce.

Xiao Mo interjected: "You don't need to be so economical, there are no fresh eggs, but there are a lot of canned meat and ham sausage, and there is enough rice. You can say what you want to eat, as long as you have it in the car, there is no need to pick and choose."

Xiao Mo thought that everyone would be happy when he said this, but even Lin Xiaofei looked at him with a look of "captain, how can you be such a prodigal".The child had a hard time with his parents for a period of time, which made him very rare for food now.He and Xiao Yuan were thinking about the content of breakfast, not what to eat, but how to eat to be full and eat less.

Xiao Mole leaned on the dining table and said, "I'm not the only one who said this, and your deputy team also thinks the same way. In this way, if you don't know how to handle it well, I will let the on-board smart monitor according to our inventory in the future. and demand, calculate the food variety and consumption for a week, and then hand it over to Lao Wu, who will be responsible for everyone’s three meals and snacks. At that time, you can order from Lao Wu, or eat whatever Lao Wu does Whatever it is, it’s up to you. Old Wu, do you think this will work?”

When Old Wu heard that Xiao Mo not only asked him to cook but also let him take care of the ingredients, even though it was only for a week, he still hesitated.

Yuan Yuan was a little anxious, and kept beckoning Old Wu to agree quickly with her winks.She didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity, but hoped that her husband could use this incident to rebuild her confidence.

Seeing that Old Wu hesitated, Xiao Mo turned his eyes to Wu Xiaoyuan, "Xiaoyuan, your father will be the head chef of our team in the future, and your mother will also help him, cleaning, tidying up and repairing this car and many other miscellaneous things. In this way No one helped your dad manage the ingredients when you came here, are you willing to take on this difficult and very important task?"

Little friend Wu Xiaoyuan first glanced at his brother Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei nodded to him.

Wu Xiaoyuan puffed up his belly and replied loudly: "Yes!" Then the little guy asked hesitantly: "If someone wants to steal our food, can I poke him to death with my claws?"

Damn Yuanyuan: ...Son, are you addicted to poking mice?

His father, Lao Wu: Who can tell me why after I committed suicide once, my son not only transformed into sharp claws and teeth like a wild beast, but also wanted to kill anyone at every turn?What's wrong with my son?

"Yes. You can also use the red dot function of the base vehicle to eliminate him." The door in the vehicle opened, and Xue Lihong came in with an air-conditioned body, "Remember, anyone who robs one's own food or spouse must be killed enemy."

Xiao Yuan: "Oh!"

Xiao Mo: ... Is it really good for you to teach someone else's son like this?

In any case, Wu Xiaoyuan's status as a food keeper was confirmed, and everyone started discussing what to eat this morning.

Xiao Mo looked at the happy team members and felt that the atmosphere was particularly good.

After pouring Xue Lihong a cup of coffee with milk and sugar, Xiao sat down at the dining table with a cup of plain coffee, "What did Lei Bing say?"

Xue Lihong took a sip of the coffee, "What can they say? We provide the best route."

"Including a detour around the airport?"

"That's after your mission, and it won't have any impact on our later schedule. Next time, add a spoonful of sugar, and that's it for the milk."

"It's not good to eat too much sweet."

I just love sweets, can't I?The young man suddenly reached out his hand in lightning, and grabbed the chest of his boss.

Xiao Mo who almost jumped up: ... who the hell!Drag this little pervert down and behead him!

System: "According to my analysis, there is currently no capable person within [-] kilometers around who can drag him out and kill him immediately. But I can tell you a poison prescription that may be effective for him. I suggest you go in the opposite direction." Use it when you're courting and intoxicating your body, and once he's in a coma, you can easily reclaim him."

Xiao Mo: Tell me, are you peeping all the time?Forget it, don't tell me.

The system continued: "Yes, I even summed up some of the bastard's favorite poses, do you want to see it? This will help improve your ability to seduce him."

Xiao Mo: I just want to drag you out and delete you ten thousand times.

The system hehe, "Actually, the easiest way is that you don't make any repairs to the bastard, so that he will not be able to maintain an adult body in a long time, and can only regress back to a juvenile state. At that time, it will be easy for you to kill him. Unfortunately, after my calculations, you have a 72% chance of falling in love with this mongrel trash that must be recycled, so even if he uses forced mating, you can instinctively repair him genetically. For this reason, I still I suggest you use the poison prescription I provided."

Xiao Mo: How was the 72% calculated?

System: "According to your behavior pattern. This is most obvious when you have bed exercises with that bastard. Every time you refuse, you are not very thorough. You are even unconsciously luring him to do more and harder to you. "

Xiao Mo no longer wants to say or ask anything.

After a lively breakfast, Lao Wu, who had not yet fully recovered, went back to rest and prepared to gather enough energy to cook a delicious Chinese meal.

Yuan Yuan wiped it with a clean rag, and by the way familiarized herself with the configuration and arrangement of various things in the car.

Lin Xiaofei sat in front of the window and showed Wu Xiaoyuan magic tricks.His trick is to catalyze the growth of a mature plant from a single seed.

Yuan Yuan, who was distracted to pay attention to her son, naturally also saw Lin Xiaofei's magic tricks. Apart from being amazed, she was even more grateful that she was able to join this team and that her son had such a little brother.

There are many secrets in this team, but this car will cause an uproar if anyone outside knows its function.Yuan Yuan knew that she was an ordinary person, and it was impossible to protect the team by fighting, but she would at least keep her mouth shut, even if she lost her life.

Lei Bing's loud voice came from the speakers, reminding everyone to get ready to go.

Xue Lihong set the vehicle to self-driving, turned the living room into an open space, and started tossing a six-legged spider-shaped robot there.

Cheng Zai sat in the assistant's seat and opened one interface after another to understand the various functions of the base vehicle that Xue Lihong had opened to him.

Xiao Mo was also studying, but he couldn't continue after studying for a while.He was too stimulated by the system just now, and now his mind is full of 72%.

Did he really fall in love with Xiaohong?

No, he obviously likes Deng...

How can love be called without lust?In fact, you have already treated her as a sister-in-law without knowing it.

Is this really the case?

Then you recall carefully, how long has it been since you took Deng Anjie as the object of your sexual dreams?Is it from the day she married your eldest brother?

Yes, that's right.He respected and respected Deng Anjie, he loved her, but he never thought of letting her remarry him, maybe sometimes he would think about this possibility a little bit, but he would soon feel guilty.That's why he was so angry when another him said that to him that day.

Then why did he still want to make a career for Deng to see?Why do people introduce him to someone but never go?

Don't you want to make a career for your parents to see?Don't you want to see the eyes of your family who are proud of you?And if you don't go to introduce someone to you, it's just because of hidden inferiority complex.

Hidden inferiority complex?

Because you know you are not original.

boom!Like thunder.

Xiao Mo remembered one thing, no, he remembered many things.A long time ago, before he returned to China to open a second-hand store, he already knew that he was not the original owner of this body. At that time, he...

Xiao Mo got up suddenly and walked in front of Xue Lihong.

Xue Lihong felt the atmosphere was weird and looked up at him.

"I want to talk to you."

"Okay." Xue Lihong jumped up from the ground.

Seeing that this is not a place to talk, Xiao Mo wanted to go back to the dormitory area, but was held back by Xue Lihong.

"No need. You sit here." Xue Lihong pulled out the screen and clicked a few times.

The disappearing sofa and small table rise from the floor, forming a face-to-face position in the car window, just like Lin Xiaofei and Wu Xiaoyuan are sitting now.

Xue Lihong motioned for him to sit there, and then made a pulling motion on the panel, and a transparent cover appeared, dividing the space into a small room about three square meters.

Xue Lihong sat down opposite Xiao Mo, "What we say here now will not be heard outside."

Xiao Mo sighed, "It can still be like this."

Xue Lihong said with a face of course: "This car was originally divided into multiple sections, which can also facilitate virus isolation and enemy invasion isolation. This is a must-have function for all expedition vehicles, but when it is not necessary, all open."

Xiao Mo is light.

Xue Lihong looked at his expression, "What do you want to talk to me about? Did something happen to you when I was away in the morning?"

No, it happened while you were there.Xiao Mo didn't want to tell the conversation between him and the system, and he didn't know how to talk to Xue Lihong, should he ask him directly: "According to the system, it seems that more than half of me may fall in love with you, then you What do you think of me?"

No, he didn't want to ask Xiaohong what he thought of him, he wanted to tell him some very important things that happened in the past, and asked him to analyze the situation.

"Last time you said that you had given trust to some people, you only said one, and one more?"

Xue Lihong leaned back, "Have you wanted to ask this question for a long time?"

Xiao Mo hummed lightly.

"But it's not what you want to ask today." Xue Lihong was still as sharp as a knife.

Xiao Mo was silent for a while, "I want to know, can you tell me?"

"Is this an exchange?" Xue Lihong smiled.

Xiao Mo's face became hot when he saw it.

Xue Lihong shrugged, "Sure. It's nothing at all."

Xiao Mo swallowed, waiting for Xue Lihong to tell the story of his past.

Xue Lihong said: "After that woman went to the church to report me, many years have passed. Chaos, peace, and chaos, always repeating itself. One day, I met a person who is very suitable for living in troubled times. That person is indifferent. Strong in reason, strong in force, and smart in mind, maybe because I was relatively young, I was pretty good to me. Later, he proposed to adopt me as a foster child. At first, that person didn't care that I couldn't grow up, and said that I was a miracle, but when After the other party has a lover, everything changes."

Xiao Mo couldn't help asking: "What did that person do?"

Xue Lihong curled her lips, "He stole my backpack, slashed at me, and then buried me in the forest in front of his house."

Xiao Mo thought of the scars he found when he bathed Xue Lihong who was a child, "Then you..."

"I didn't die. Although I was very weak at that time, my recovery ability was better than ordinary people. The other party thought I was dead, but didn't know that I still had a breath. Later, I woke up in the soil and crawled out by myself. Thanks to him You didn't put me in a coffin, otherwise it would take a lot of effort for me to climb out." Xue Lihong seemed to smile, but her eyes were as indifferent as a dead person, only when she saw Xiao Mo on the opposite side, she would change a little. Soft and slightly humane.

It's a pity that neither of them noticed this.

"Later, I pretended to be a beggar and went to him. At that time, there were a lot of beggars for children my age. Their bodies were a little dirty and their hair was a little messy. No one could tell who you were. Guess what I saw ?”

"What?" Xiao Mo's heart suddenly tightened.

Xue Lihong said slowly: "I saw his lover poison his favorite mushroom soup. The poison is a mushroom called Baidu mushroom. Fifty grams can be fatal, and his lover prepared half a catty for him."

"Is that person dead?"

"Dead, and dying very painfully. Before he died, he asked his lover why. His lover knelt beside him and said to him: If you really love me so much that you are willing to give everything for me, even at the cost of killing Your son showed me your heart. Then why never tell me the secrets of the advanced technology you have mastered, and where do you hide the gold? You don’t have to lie to me, as your pillow, I know you are not the genius that those people say, you just mastered a certain secret, maybe a treasure, maybe an extraterrestrial spaceship?"

Listening to Xue Lihong's imitation of the woman's tone, Xiao Mo didn't think it was ridiculous, but felt a little scared, "Those technologies all come from you, right?"

"Well. It was chaotic at that time. The world was full of chaos, and there was almost no pure land. In order to prove my value and make him value me more, I took out a little technology that was slightly beyond that time and made some things for him. I thought he would pay more attention to my brain, but I didn't expect that seemingly shrewd idiot to think that my backpack is the greatest treasure. It's a pity that he usually hides his greed very well, and sometimes behaves a little strangely and asks, I also thought it was because he fell in love, but I didn't expect that he was just testing my ability to protect myself."

"That person deserves to die!" Xiao Mo was furious in his heart.

"He saw me before he died, and I stood outside the window of his living room, and I smiled at him." Xue Lihong tilted her head like a child, "I don't think he was poisoned by mushrooms, but I was scared to death first."

"Didn't his lover find you?" Originally, he wanted to talk about his own affairs, but now Xiao Mo was completely attracted by Xue Lihong's story, and worried and angry about him in the story.

"No. But I went to her at night, and I have to get my things back. The woman didn't know where the man hid the secret, so she collected all the important and commonly used things around him. The woman She is very courageous, she dared to continue sleeping in the master bedroom after killing the owner, if it weren't for me, I think she would have lived there forever, looking for that person's secret in that house."

Xue Lihong continued: "I wanted to see how courageous she was, so I stood by the bed and patted her after she fell asleep. Tsk, you should really listen to that scream, it has reached the supernatural level , All the wild dogs outside were called by her."

"Then what happened next?" Xiao Mo asked impatiently.

"Later, I gave her an injection when she was screaming. That injection was not the super nutrient solution you give, but it was used to torture people. I have something to ask her, such as There is no such thing as a mastermind behind the scenes, but after interrogating for most of the night, it is confirmed that the woman has no mastermind behind the scenes at all. She is a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman. middle.

But that woman also has her own hunting target. What she wants to marry is another powerful nobleman. The other party just died of his wife, and he said that he will not be very picky about the identity of his step-wife.After she knew the identity of that person, she wanted to get more benefits from that person as the capital to marry that powerful nobleman, so she hanged that person.

That man may have really fallen in love with that woman, and after hearing that she didn't want to be a stepmother, he killed me just like that, although he wanted the backpack too much, and the woman pushed him.

But there are so many jokes in this world. The person he loves almost wholeheartedly just wants to take advantage of him, know the secret of his wealth, and finally die under the love soup of the most beloved person. "

Xiao Mo stretched out his hand, he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Xue Lihong held his hand that was halfway across the table, played with it, and smiled lowly: "I put their bodies together, and made the man feign death and woke up vomiting blood while crawling to the master bedroom, and finally put the woman The illusion of being scared to death. The final effect of the injection is similar to that of a person being scared to death, and the medical technology at the time could not detect the difference."

"Good job!" Xiao Mo said sincerely.

"Well, the deaths of these two people became big news in the local area at that time, and it was lively for a while. When I left, I took away all the things in that house that were beyond the technology at that time, but with the pot of poisonous mushroom soup, Everyone will only think that the woman moved things. Oh, and gold, the man discovered a little function of the backpack, and he put all the gold in it, but he didn’t know that my backpack can only be put in except me. Take it out. He probably thought that one day in the future he would crack the secret of that backpack, and the batch of gold was being closely watched, so he had no choice but to put it in my backpack. It was cheaper for me and became my later life. living expenses over a long period of time."

Xue Lihong pinched his fingers, "My story is over, what do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Mo licked his lips, his throat trembling: "If I say, I have seen aliens a long time ago... no, it should be said that I have seen aliens a long time ago, would you believe me?"
