The Scavengers

April 12

Three days later, on December 12, the scavengers drove the base vehicle to the capital.

The base car itself has the function of a snowmobile, and Xiao Xue and his wife made some adjustments according to the system's opinions, and became a snowmobile. The skateboard tires did not sink into the snow, and the whole process was gliding on the snow, and the speed was extremely fast.

The base vehicle did not stop all the way, and arrived at the base in Beijing smoothly one day later.

The situation at the Beijing base was much worse than that at the Zhongshan base, it was a mess everywhere, and because of the extremely cold weather, the Beijing base also activated an underground air-raid shelter.

However, compared to the Zhongshan base, which has already started to rectify the ground buildings, the Beijing base has not yet come out of the ground, and it seems that it will not be transferred out in the short term.

I heard that someone came from the Zhongshan Base, and Zhou Fang personally met them. Everyone was looking forward to news from other bases. Although there was a brief exchange after the communication was restored, it is better to have someone come over to introduce them in detail.

Seeing that the visitors turned out to be Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong who disappeared during the storm, Zhou Fang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked them about the details of their disappearance.

Xiao Mo was also very happy to see that Zhou Fang was safe and sound, and also told Zhou Fang the reason he had told Qiu Feng.

When Zhou Fang heard about Bao Yiyong's rebellion, he was very sad, but he also felt bitter that he knew it would be so.

"After he did some things, I found someone to investigate him, and knew that he was very close to the notorious Keno company. I warned him with Mr. Yang, and later saw that he took the initiative to drive away the Keno company. The collaborator stopped all inhuman research on supernatural beings. After discussing with Mr. Yang and the others, we decided to give him another chance. After all, there are not many talents like him in our country and even in the world." Zhou Fang sighed.

Xue Lihong: "It's a pity that he only stopped on the surface. Brooke, an insider of Jino Company, has been following him all the time. Bao Yiyong made the bodyguards around him dress up like ninjas to hide this person. In addition, his inhumane research on supernatural beings has no effect. Stop, just transfer to other secret address, under the responsibility of his son Bao Yuezhi."

Seeing that Zhou Fang didn't seem to understand this matter, Xiao Mo briefly explained what they found in the underground building of Yucaiyan in H City.

Zhou Fang squeezed the armrest of the sofa, "I said where did Bao Yiyong send his son, so that's the case! The father and son have gone astray, especially Bao Yiyong, who is talented and intelligent, but unfortunately he is too eager for quick success and too quick. I wanted to make an unrivaled achievement and make the world look up to him, but in the end..."

Xue Lihong said without emotion: "It's just the winner and the loser."

"Having said that, it's better to have a bottom line in life." Zhou Fang didn't know what to think, so he didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Mo agreed with this very much, "I heard that Captain Lei in our base is still alive? Can he come here now? One of the important purposes of our visit this time is to pick him up."

Zhou Fang came back to his senses, and when he heard Xiao Mo call "our base", he couldn't help but smile wryly, "To be honest, I very much hope that you can stay, but Lao Qiu has already greeted me, so he almost didn't threaten me, he said Zhong There is an extreme shortage of doctors in the mountain base, and there is no healer. They say they can let you go on a business trip, but they must not leave you behind. As for Captain Lei, I and the capital base are very grateful to him. He helped us a lot during the big storm. Later, in order to rescue some scientific research workers and instruments in the scientific research institute, they were crushed by the collapsed building. However, there was a low-level healer in the base, who finally saved his life, but the healer was also very hard, and his healing ability was not as good as Ah Ning, it's not as good as you, there are too many seriously injured people in the base asking him to help..."

Xiao Mo raised his hand and said tactfully: "Your Excellency, you don't need to explain in such detail, we understand. It doesn't matter how the Lei team is now, can you let me see him?"

"Of course. Cough, if it's convenient for you, we still have a lot of seriously injured people here... But we may not be able to pay two thousand yuan per person." Zhou Fang felt very embarrassed.

Xiao Mo shook his hand, "I really want to say that I don't need to be paid, but that's not realistic. After all, I need to consume energy to save people. In this way, minor injuries are not counted. I think this can be handed over to the base medical staff and that low-level Healer, no matter what the injury is for the seriously injured, as long as I can heal, each person will be calculated as one hundred energy, what do you think?"

One hundred energy is equivalent to a second-level energy crystal, which is almost the consumption of his normal treatment of a seriously injured person.Of course, when encountering situations such as the destruction of the energy nest of the supernatural person, or near death, or too much damage to body parts, etc., the consumption must be more than that.It's just that Xiao Mo's demand for energy is no longer as urgent as before, relying on the endless energy provider of green light spots in his body.But he doesn't know how long the green light point can lend him energy for use, and he doesn't know if the green light point will leave him, and he is even more afraid that the energy he borrowed is too much to anger the other party. Gather some energy.

"Okay, very good!" Zhou Fang was so happy that he patted the armrest of the sofa.

If someone else proposed to save one person, he would feel that the other party would be too loud, but after seeing Xiao Mo's healing effect and the actual energy consumption proved by the Academy of Sciences, Xiao Mo proposed to save one person for one hundred energy. Yes, in Zhou Fang's eyes, it is no different from the price of cabbage, and he immediately got up and led the way: "Captain Xiao, on behalf of the capital base, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. .Look, if it's convenient for you now, let's go to the ward now?"

His staff member Feng Yang wanted to remind him: "Captain Xiao and the others have rushed all the way here, and they haven't rested yet, at least after they have eaten..."

Zhou Fang patted the back of his head, "Yes, look at me! Cough, Captain Xiao, we have prepared a light meal here, or we can go over to eat first, and after the meal, you can take a good rest before going to the ward. Late."

Xiao Mo stood up, shook his head and smiled, "Don't be so troublesome, if it's convenient, just send some raw materials for meals to my teammates. We have a simple kitchen in the car for cooking, and those boys may not want to get off the car. As for me Here, meals can be eaten at any time, let’s go and see the injuries first, I’m also very worried about our Thunder team.”

"Okay, okay, then I will trouble Captain Xiao, I will arrange for someone to deliver some raw materials for food later. Feng Yang!" Zhou Fang thought about sending as much as possible, some good ones.

"Understood." Feng Yang understood Zhou Fang's meaning when he saw Zhou Fang's wink. He nodded, indicating that he would personally arrange this matter.

"Is it okay for your car to be parked outside?" Zhou Fang talked cordially with Xiao Mo while walking.

When Zhou Fang learned that the scavenger team drove over by himself, he guessed that the car must be different. Now even the snowmobile can only walk nearby. The distance from the Zhongshan base to the capital is so far away, which is even more suitable for the car. Both quality and functionality are huge tests.

Zhou Fang even speculated that this car might be the highest scientific crystallization of the Zhongshan Base Research Institute. If this is the case, the scavengers in the scavengers cared so much about that car that they wouldn’t even get off the car when they entered the base. Now they wouldn’t even eat. There will be an explanation down.

"It's okay, the ground is stuffy, it's better to stay up there, the car's heat preservation function is not bad." Xiao Mo explained conservatively.

"Yeah." I'm afraid it's not only good at keeping warm, but also has first-class offensive and defensive capabilities.Zhou Fang didn't want to ask more about the base vehicle, for fear that Xiao Mo would think he was looking into the scientific research secrets of the Zhongshan base, so he changed the subject in a timely manner: "Although the magnetic field has recovered, the satellites in the sky are still unusable. You can still use satellite calls during the period, but now you have to rely on those ancient telephone lines buried deep underground to prevent nuclear explosions in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”

"Isn't there a saying that the more primitive, the safer?" Xiao Mo also joked in a relaxed tone.

"Haha, you are right. Sometimes it is true. You can see that during the time when there is no electricity, everyone can hardly do anything. They can't even find a few hoes and plows for manual use. The scientific research institute also happened. It was a joke that a few young researchers wanted to make candles for everyone to use. Those children were probably too anxious and didn’t turn the corner for a while. They ended up looking for wax machines everywhere. Later, Mr. Yang found out and asked them to start from scratch. I went to learn the basics. So, we still can’t throw away the things of our ancestors.”

Several people walked and talked all the way, Xiao Xue and the two got a general understanding of the current situation of the capital base from Zhou Fang and his staff.

Due to the large number of people in the capital who came here to seek refuge, there were a lot of people who died when there was a big storm. In the end, only about one tenth of the ordinary people were able to escape into the air-raid shelter.

The soldiers had reluctantly gone out to rescue disasters during the storm, and sacrificed nearly one-third of them. Later, Commander Wei and Commander Liu got angry and refused all rescue orders, only to save the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers.For this reason, the relationship between the parliament and the military has almost broken down.

Due to the scientific research of all the tunnels connecting the underground air-raid shelters, except for a very small number of people who could not escape, they basically survived.

In addition, after the magnetic field recovered, the capital also contacted several bases, but the telephone lines buried at the beginning are not very usable now. The small base has no air-raid shelter facilities. After the big storm, the infrastructure is almost completely destroyed. The line is still there, and it is not easy to contact other bases in the short term.

Xiao Mo heard a very important news from Zhou Fang's words, he looked at Xue Lihong.

Xue Lihong understood, and told the other party with his eyes: He will ask the insect soldiers to investigate the current situation of the capital.

When they arrived at the ward, Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng also came.

Qian Yunkai told Xiao Mo that Feng Yang sent them more food raw materials.

Xiao Mo understood, and introduced Qian and Wang to Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang was extremely happy when he heard that Qian Yunkai was also a doctor.

Qian Yun opened his mouth and swallowed the fact that he was a forensic doctor.Forget it, anyway, the main force to save people is their captain, he just needs to follow suit.

After that, Xiao Mo saw Lei Bing whose legs were like rotten flesh in the seriously injured ward.

"You guys are finally here! I knew that with this kid following you, you will be fine!" Lei Bing's expression was grim, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Xiao Mo and the others, he laughed so hard that his back molars were exposed.

Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng came up to greet him respectively, and Wang Cheng gasped when he saw his legs.

Qian Yunkai was signaled by Xue Lihong, and walked to Zhou Fang, "Your Excellency, can you please give me a list of the seriously injured who need first aid? I want to arrange for them to be treated according to the priority of their condition." order."

"Of course, please come with me." Zhou Fang also saw that Xiao Mo and the others had something private to say to Lei Bing. Hearing this, he immediately took Qian Yunkai to find the attending physician here, and took Feng Yang to comfort him after the incident. Patient, give Xiao Mo and the others room to speak.

Xiao Mo sat down beside Lei Bing, and naturally touched his leg, "You should be glad that the weather is cold, otherwise you would be dead by now."

Although he is not a doctor by profession, he has treated so many injured patients, and he has a basic idea of ​​the consequences of certain injuries.

Lei Bing laughed, watched Zhou Fang in front of the comforting patients, and whispered to Xiao Mo: "The healers here are not good, they can only treat minor injuries and ailments. When I crawled out from under the ruins, the healers He actually said that he wanted to amputate my limbs! Damn, how can I let him really amputate, I remember you said before that supernatural beings have better physical fitness and resilience than ordinary people, I want to try to see if I can slowly recover by myself, then say ...I think that as long as you are alive, your kid will definitely come back to find me, so I can delay it for as long as I want."

Xiao Mo disagreed and said: "I know that healer, he was a doctor originally, he said that amputating your limbs is responsible for your life, if you are not a supernatural person, if the weather is not so cold, you would have died of sepsis a long time ago , it is impossible to survive for such a long time.”

"I know. But...you couldn't regenerate a severed limb before."

"So you'd rather take the risk? What if I can't come in time or never come back at all? Besides, you can cut off the injured leg first, freeze it, and wait for me to come back, can't it be connected?"

"Forget it, the healer has already said that my legs are all crushed from bones to muscles. It is lucky that I can drag them out. Once I saw them off, no matter how frozen they are, they will still rot. .Instead of this, I might as well let them grow on my legs, and I can nourish them with my vitality."

"Bullshit!" Xiao Mo also knew that Lei Bing didn't want to amputate his limbs, not because he was sure that he could come back, but because he was afraid of becoming a half-cripple. Even if he could still use his supernatural powers, he would have to rely on others to survive in the future. Saying the cruelest thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Xue Lihong suddenly bent down and poked Lei Bing's injured leg.

Lei Bing's injured leg caused him great pain, he didn't feel anything when he only touched it, but he still screamed on purpose: "What are you doing? You're killing me while I'm sick? Old Xiao, look, you My wife bullied me!"

Xiao Mo: "..."

Xue Lihong clicked his tongue twice, pulled his dead face and said: "It's very painful, for fifty days, looking at my two legs like this every day, don't you really want to die?"

Lei Bing turned his head and ignored him.

Xue Lihong rubbed Lao Xiao's hair, put her chin on the top of his head and said, "It's so pitiful. If we had known earlier that Captain Lei would be crushed into such a miserable state, we should have told him on the way to the capital last time." , let alone regenerate a severed limb, even if there is only one brain, you can also regenerate his limbs, right? My dear~"

Xiao Mo was helpless, "How can you say such an exaggeration, do you think it is so easy to completely restore the human body?"

"But the rebirth of broken limbs is definitely no problem. After all, we have tested this at the Zhongshan Base."

Xiao Mo nodded, and froze in the middle of the nodding—the unshaven Captain Lei looked at them with tears in his eyes, accusing him, his expression was as wronged as he wanted.

Xiao Mo raised one hand, "I swear, on the way to the capital last time, I didn't know that I could regenerate a severed limb, really!"

Captain Lei bit the corner of the quilt and sobbed: "I know this bastard is trying to anger me on purpose, but...but damn it! I've been in pain for two months! If I had known that you could be reborn with a broken limb, I would have fucked it up already!" Cut off these two rotten legs! Woohoo!"

Lei Bing was really sad. If Xue Lihong didn't tell him, he wouldn't be in such pain. If he endured it for so long, wouldn't he just hold a little hope for recovery?In the end, bastard Xue actually told him that he had suffered two months in vain!You must know that his dragging two rotten legs is not just a physical pain, but he is fighting with death all the time, okay?

Xiao Mo glared at Xue Lihong angrily, asking you to stimulate him!

Xue Lihong shrugged, "I've seen that there are quite a few mutilated limbs in this room. If you treat them later, he will still see it. Why don't you tell him now, he can still be mentally prepared."

Shit!I was cured at that time, even if I saw the truth, the blow would not be as big as it is now, okay?Lei Bing whimpered louder.

Xiao Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Captain Lei, Lei Bing! Can you stop crying? It's really ugly."

Lei Bing scolded angrily: "Shouldn't you comfort me at this time and tell that kid to get out?"

Xue Lihong snorted coldly: "Why did he comfort you? Tell me to get out? Who are you in our family?"

Lei Bing raised his little finger and said shamelessly, "Boss Xiao's little wife?"

Xiao Mo patted his thigh unbearably, "Okay, don't be poor, roll up and move around when you can move, and then call General Qiu, he is very worried about you. Your subordinates are also waiting for you to go back to pay wages !"

Lei Bing subconsciously lowered his head and raised his legs.

"Fuck! Old Xiao, you can do it! This speed is incredible!" Lei Bing jumped off the bed like a carp, he really had enough of lying down.

But when his feet just touched the ground, because he hadn't adapted yet, his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.

Xuelihong's eyes were quick, and she caught him.

Lei Bing put his arms around his shoulders, stretched his legs joyfully, "Thank you, brother."

Xue Lihong suddenly covered Xiao Mo's eyes with one hand, "Don't look, you will be poisoned."

Xiao Mo slapped his hand away and went to see other seriously injured patients.

Lei Bing lowered his head and found that his two hairy thighs were exposed, and only a pair of small briefs covered the important parts.

Xue Lihong couldn't bear to look directly at her.

Lei Bing praised his legs indifferently, "Look, what a pair of strong, strong and beautiful legs!"

"Can you stand still?"

"Ah."

Xue Lihong immediately let go, "I want to ask you something, how is the relationship between the military and the government at the base?"

"Cut, what happened to make me wonder for a while?" Lei Bing sat on the bed, stopped admiring his lost legs, pulled the quilt to cover it, and called a medical soldier, asking him to help find a pair of pants .

"Did you see it?"

"It's not that we can see it, it's that Zhou Fang sent us some information intentionally or unintentionally."

Lei Bing sighed, "It's hard for your Excellency the President. He is a person who really wants to do practical things, but there are always some people who like to hold back in this world. These people can only see their own interests. Although it is human nature to value their own interests, but To harm others because of this is crossing the line.”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Lihong poured Lei Bing a glass of water.

Lei Bing took the water glass and drank most of it in one breath, "It has something to do with the rescue during the storm. At that time, the big storm came and the whole base was in chaos. But the storm was so severe that it was difficult for even wind-type supernatural fighters to go out, let alone Other ordinary soldiers. But some people, um, some congressmen strongly urged the soldiers to come out to save people."

"Save the common people?"

"Save their families and property. According to them, that's ordinary people too."

"The army is dispatched?"

Lei Bing nodded, pouted and said, "If one person raises the question, more people will raise it. They hid in the air-raid shelter for safety, so they 'thought to be considerate of others', and Zhou Fang, as the president, could not let the common people suffer in a big storm. Struggling, in the end, after only one minute of voting in the provisional parliament, more than half of the members asked the soldiers to send out disaster relief. Afterwards, more than one-third of the soldiers died, and at that time, as long as the storm went out, there was only one word of death."

"You were injured at that time too?"

"Well. I'm still a supernatural person anyway. I can't watch our ordinary soldiers fight their lives in the storm, but I stay in a safe air-raid shelter. At that time, the soldiers who went out to rescue the disaster were divided into several groups. Some went to rescue important supplies. Some went to save important people, and some tried to save more civilians. I was assigned to rescue important instruments and two genetic scientists in an above-ground research institute."

Lei Bing was silent for a while, then continued: "Afterwards, Commander Liu and Commander Liu could no longer bear the sacrifice of the soldiers, so they disobeyed the President's order on the spot and asked the soldiers to withdraw. In fact, the President didn't have the heart to do so, but the congressmen grabbed the common people and waited. Soldiers are going to save this from persecuting the president."

"Did the family members and properties of those congressmen not be rescued?"

Lei Bing smiled, "That's right, although the president agreed to order to save people, and the two commanders also agreed, but the soldiers are going to save ordinary people, and they don't care about the family members and property of those congressmen, unless the other party happens to be doing the rescue. It was on the route, but that was just walking along, and it was impossible to get an escort or something. Afterwards, those congressmen would go crazy when they found out, and they all yelled at the two commanders for nothing, but the two commanders were chicken thieves. My own family and the president's family were transferred to the military camp, and the storm followed the army underground from the very beginning, which aroused the hatred of the congressmen even more."

Xue Lihong twitched the corner of her mouth.

Lei Bing looked around and said in a low voice: "As far as I know, the parliament and the military have completely fallen apart. If the president hadn't suppressed it, the base would have been split into two. Although the congressmen have suffered a lot, the rotten ship is still there. There are three catties of iron nails, and their combined strength is not small. After the storm, they even spread rumors among the survivors, saying that Commander Liu planned to stand on his own, but he refused to provide disaster relief during the storm and watched the common people die. However, many survivors did Seeing the army retreating, or not waiting for the army's rescue, these people were encouraged..."

While Xue Lihong and Lei Bing were understanding the situation, Xiao Mo and Qian Yunkai were treating the seriously injured one by one, and Wang Cheng also followed suit.

Zhou Fang specially sent two soldiers to protect them.

Just after Xiao Mo quickly recovered the three seriously injured, there was a sudden noise at the door of the ward.
