The Scavengers

In the bungalow, Xiao Mo looked at the triangular roof and thought about something.

Judging from what they heard before and today, their family will not stay in Deng's house for long.

It has been a month since the accident, and the country should have taken some action. It is impossible for such a large country to continue in such chaos.That resettlement area is probably the first step in action.

Just don't know what's going on outside?It's just a mess, but you don't really feel it if you don't see it with your own eyes.

In addition, how many people have supernatural powers?How many people secrete alloy particles?

The most important thing is how will the country treat them?

Xue Lihong took out something that looked like an electric razor from the backpack that never left her body, and pressed it on Xiao Mo's body.

Xiao Mo was startled by him.

"what?"

"Muscle awakening electromagnetic device." Xue Lihong rode on the man, lifted the thin blanket, and carefully gave him a stimulating massage along the muscles.

"Hiss! It's numb, it hurts a bit." Xiao Mo felt his muscles tremble slightly under the stimulation of the electromagnetic device.

"That's a normal reaction."

"I thought the place where I slept was not clean, and ants bit me every day, so it was this thing." Xiao Mo laughed.

"If you don't have it, you will need at least two months of recovery training before you can walk normally." Xue Lihong didn't seem to be surprised that Xiao Mo was already conscious.

The more Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong, the more mysterious he felt, "How do you always get these weird things?"

Xue Lihong acted as if she didn't hear it.

Xiao Mo didn't expect him to answer, and smiled wryly: "I hope the upgrade won't be like this again."

"Probably not. The first time is always more painful."

Xiao Mo, "..." Why did he find this sentence so strange?

Xue Lihong, "In order to let you recover as soon as possible, I will strengthen the frequency a little bit, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

"Okay, huh? Aw--!"

Xiao Mo screamed, this is too exciting, right?Is this really just boosting the frequency a bit?

Just when Xiao Mo finally escaped from the damn electromagnetic apparatus, someone knocked on the falsely concealed door, and his sister-in-law Deng Anjie shouted from outside: "Second, can you come in? I brought the doctor. "

The doctor didn't see why, he could only confirm that Xiao Mo was indeed recovering, and even said that Xiao Mo was lucky, and was amazed that he was able to wake up after being in a coma for so long.

Xiao Mo vaguely asked if there was any patient with the same situation as him. The doctor shook his head, saying that he was the only special case nearby, and there was no one who had been in a coma for a day or two.

Xiao Mo was a little uneasy.The doctor looked at him as if he was looking at something rare, if Deng Anjie and Xue Lihong were not staring at him, Xiao Mo felt that this person might do something to him.

Before leaving, the doctor offered to draw a tube of his blood, and asked a friend from the temporary hospital to test him to see if he had really recovered.

Xiao Mo politely declined.

The doctor tried several times but failed to persuade Xiao Mo, so he had no choice but to give up.

Xue Lihong didn't know if she had seen Xiao Mo's worry, and she had been strictly guarding against letting the doctor do unnecessary things to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo is not afraid of abnormalities in himself, he is only afraid that there are too few people with abnormalities.As a typical Chinese person, he doesn't want to be an early bird at all.Unless he had to, he would rather keep his anomaly hidden.

Deng Anjie heard from the doctor that Xiao Mo was fine, and his muscles were recovering well, as long as he practiced diligently, he would soon be able to walk again. Apart from peace of mind, she happily paid for the outpatient visit with a piece of bacon about a catty.

When Xiao Mo saw it, he wondered if paper money no longer worked?

When the doctor left, he patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder, telling him to rest well.

"Hiss!" Xiao Mo felt his scalp hurt a bit, and the hair that grew to his neck seemed to be accidentally pulled by the doctor's fingers.

Xue Lihong tilted her head to look at the doctor, there seemed to be a sneer and... murderous intent in her eyes?

Deng Anjie sent the doctor out of the gate.

Outside the door, there were two middle-aged men waiting for the doctor.

The profession of a doctor is very popular at any time, because he has a lot of outpatient visits, so he simply hired two idlers who wanted to come to the door as guards, and the price was as long as he could eat and live.

Deng Anjie sent the doctor away and turned to talk to Xiao Mo.

Xue Lihong climbed out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Mo asked.

Xue Lihong replied: "Pee."

Xiao Mo smiled, "Go and come back quickly, don't run too far, be careful that the big locusts will take you away!"

Xue Lihong ignored him, opened the door and walked out.

Under the escort of two strong men, the doctor quickly walked across the concrete road between the fields.

Walking all the way, the doctor's forehead was covered with sweat, and the sweat dripped down his cheeks, but he didn't wipe it off, because he didn't have any free hands. He held a pointed bamboo pole in his left hand, and he seemed to be holding some kind of treasure in his right hand. We hold each other tightly, never daring to let go.

When he walked to more than 300 meters away from the bungalow, he looked back again. Then he put down the bamboo pole and took out a collection tube from his jacket pocket, and spread out his right hand more carefully, and put the two tubes with the hair roots in them. The hair was carefully put into the collection tube.

As a doctor, especially with a friend who is a doctor in a temporary hospital in the resettlement area, he knows more than ordinary people.

He knew the country had been looking for someone.

These people showed some special abilities before or after the chaos.

It's just that these people hid relatively deeply, and many people who developed special abilities in the original quarantine area have been controlled by the state, but those who showed their abilities later took advantage of the chaos to mix into the crowd.

The first time he knew Xiao Mo was a patient, he didn't take it very seriously, it was just a plant patient, nothing special.

But after that, he occasionally learned from the Cao family who lived with the Xiao family that Xiao Mo had been living in the quarantine area before, and he became very interested in Xiao Mo.

But the Xiao family guarded Xiao Mo too strictly, and the village was in chaos after that, so he never found a chance to check Xiao Mo.

He vaguely mentioned Xiao Mo's matter with his friend, and his friend was really interested, expressing that he wanted to put this person in a temporary hospital immediately.

But he secretly kept an eye on it, and found a reason to shirk it.

Because he knew that the place where the mission was issued in the resettlement area had always had a mission at the top of the list, and that was to find special talents.

The task stated that as long as a special talent who is of great use to the country is found, the person who provides the information will be granted the right of residence in the resettlement area, and the rental fee in the resettlement area will be reduced for five years, and a hundred catties of food will also be rewarded.

If you can personally send this special talent to the talent reception center in the resettlement area, not only can you permanently reduce the rental fee in the resettlement area, but you will also get a huge reward of [-] catties of grain!

Others don't know what kind of talent this special talent represents, can he not know?

Zhang Weisheng understands very well, don't look at him as a doctor in the village now, but judging by the current situation, no one can say how long the village can guarantee peace.

Not to mention those extremely threatening fellows outside the fence, as well as those crazy animals and plants, inedible food and water, even the big locusts that come to prey every now and then are also a big worry.

Zhang Weisheng has long wanted to move to the resettlement area, but he has been unable to make up his mind because of the relatively high rental fees in the resettlement area.

Now... pressing the collection tube on his chest, as long as he finds Xiao Mo's "special" evidence, even if there is only a little bit, he can report it to the resettlement area.If he was lucky, he might be able to get people to the resettlement area himself.

Concealing the excitement and anticipation on his face, Zhang Weisheng let out a sigh of relief, put away the collection tube, and picked up the bamboo pole again.

The two guards didn't say much when they saw the doctor's actions, they only carefully guarded the surroundings when the doctor was staying.

The group of three walked quickly again, and soon reached the entrance of Zhouli Village.

Zhang Weisheng's house is on the left side of the village, but he seemed to have remembered something, turned and walked to the right.

The two guards only thought that he had other visits, and didn't ask any more questions.

Due to historical reasons, although Zhouli Village is located in the outskirts of the city, most of the villages are small two-story buildings built of bricks and stones, and the damage is not serious.

The doctor walked quickly to a big brick house with some history, and knocked on the door.

"Come here, who is it?" The distinctive tenor sounded.

"it's me."

"Who are you?" Cao Xiang asked unhappily standing behind the door.

At this time, the Xiao family was working outside to earn food, his sister and nephew were in the house, and the others from the Deng and Cao families were busy in the fields. Now he was the only man in the family, and he would open the door casually if he was stupid.

"Cao Xiang, right? I'm Zhang Weisheng, a doctor in the village. Do you still remember the last time you asked me?"

Cao Xiang looked at the cat's eye in the rear mount, and immediately opened the door.

Zhang Weisheng stood at the door and smiled, "You said let me pay attention to the condition of the second child of the Xiao family. If there is any change, I will tell you. I just came back from the second child of the Xiao family."

"Oh? What's wrong with the second child of the Xiao family? Is he dying soon?"

Zhang Weisheng smiled without saying a word.

Cao Xiang looked at him puzzled.

Zhang Weisheng saw that he seemed to have forgotten the original promise, so he couldn't help but sternly said, "I remember what we agreed at the beginning, one message for two catties of food!"

"Ah...look at me, haha, doctor, why don't you come in first?"

Zhang Weisheng's face was ugly, and he pretended to leave.

"Doctor Zhang, please wait a moment!" A gentle voice called out to stop the doctor, "I have a bigger deal here, I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhang Weisheng turned his head and saw Cao Xiang's sister Cao Tong walking out of the main room of the Deng family.

at the same time.

Xiao Mo, who was lying on the bed chatting with Deng Anjie, couldn't help being surprised that Xue Lihong didn't come back after waiting for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, can you help me see if Xiaohong is at the door?"

"Yeah, why is this kid peeing and hasn't come back yet?" Deng Anjie was also surprised, stood up from the edge of the bed and walked towards the half-hidden door.

After a while, Deng Anjie who went out to find someone ran back anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo felt bad.

"Second brother, Xiao Hong is gone!"

At first Xiao Mo was worried but not in a hurry.

Xue Lihong is different from ordinary children, he will not forget to come back after running out to play by himself, he must be delayed by something.

But when the sun was a little bit westward, Xiao Mo didn't dare to be sure.

It was almost five o'clock, and Deng Anjie was very anxious. If Xiao Mo hadn't stopped her, she might have run out to find Xue Lihong regardless of the danger outside.

"It's too dangerous for you to go out to look for him alone, wait until the eldest brother comes." Xiao Mo disagreed with his sister-in-law to go out to look for him alone.

"Your elder brother and Xiao Da won't pick me up until six o'clock. Who knows what will happen by then?"

Deng Anjie threw down the clothes she was sewing, and couldn't help cursing: "Why don't you care about your children at all? Can you compare this time with the past? It was when the young children disappeared for no reason. How many hours, the parents will be worried to death, not to mention there are so many dangers outside now?"

That boy is not really my son!And he is very powerful, so there is no need for us to worry so much.Xiao Mo gritted his teeth, trying to regain his body awareness regardless of his body's warning.

Deng Anjie couldn't do things with peace of mind, so she got up and anxiously walked back and forth a few times, looking at Xiao Mo who couldn't get up on the bed, this woman who took her family as her own responsibility gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "No, I'll go right away Look for him, it will be too late when it gets dark!" Then he picked up the bamboo pole and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, wait!" Xiao Mo suddenly sat up.

"Are you able to move?" Deng Anjie pressed her hand on the door, looking back in surprise.

Xiao Mo panted heavily, raised his hand with difficulty and rubbed between his brows, "I'll go with you, wait for me for half an hour."

The head that was about to explode was warning him that he was not fit to use his abilities yet, but how could he have time to lie down for a few more days to wait for his natural recovery?

"No matter what happens later, don't touch me." Xiao Mo didn't care that Deng Anjie was looking at him, so he closed his eyes and tried to think about how he looked when he was healthy.

Repairing myself, as long as it restores me to a state where I can walk and run.

Following his strong desire, there was a sharp pain between Xiao Mo's brows, as if some living thing was spinning, expanding, and radiating out between his brows.

Deng Anjie looked at her second uncle with a confused and surprised expression.

In her eyes, Xiao Mo was half leaning against the wall, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his expression was extremely distorted, as if he was holding back something.

Deng Anjie called Xiao Mo softly, but she didn't hear the other party's answer.She stretched out her hand to push him, but suddenly remembered the other party's instructions, and quickly retracted her hand.

This is their second child?All kinds of wild guesses flitted through Deng Anjie's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

At this time, Xue Lihong was following Zhang Weisheng, saw him go home and returned, and handed a small plastic bottle to Cao Xiang.

Xue Lihong didn't show disdain or sarcasm because of this, he seemed to have seen the same thing too much, and continued to stand behind Zhang Weisheng and his bodyguards without being surprised at all.

No one noticed this child whose sense of existence was so weak that he could hardly feel it, and even someone on the side of the road who saw him acted as if he hadn't seen it.

Xue Lihong looked up at the sky, it was dark late in July, but it was still very bright at this time.

From the look of this doctor, it seems that he intends to rush to the isolation area this evening. Maybe the equipment in his home is not enough for his analysis?Or are you worried that others will send Xiao Mo to the quarantine area first?Such as the Cao family.

It's really for profit, even life can be spared.

Xue Lihong looked at the three people in front of him, flicked his fingers lightly, and the water gun circled nimbly in his hand.

Xiao Mo needs time to recover, and Xiao Mo's ability is not suitable for exposure to the outside world before he is sure whether Qiu Feng can take all the management rights of the resettlement area.

He couldn't take the risk of losing Xiao Mo, so... this person absolutely couldn't let him walk to the resettlement area alive.

Xue Lihong quickly scanned the surrounding environment, looking for the most suitable place to do it.

It is not far from the village to the resettlement area, and it is still relatively safe compared to other places without military patrols, but after all, it is getting dark, and the power of the sun is not as strong as before five o'clock. The locusts had probably started wandering around as well.

Big locust?What a great excuse...

It took 10 minutes longer than Xiao Mo's expected half an hour. Deng Anjie opened her eyes wide and watched Xiao Mo put on his coat and trousers and get off the bed like a healthy person.

"Let's go, let's go all the way and ask, maybe the kid came back just after we left."

"Second, what are you? Didn't you say that you won't be able to get up for a few days?" Deng Anjie asked a little uneasy.She believes that what Xiao Mo said before is absolutely not a lie, so since he said that it will take a few days to get up, but now he can get out of bed and walk like a normal person, there must be something wrong, and this problem is 100% not good for the body of the second child .

"It's okay, at most I will lie down for a while later. When I go out today, I will let those people outside see if I am really sick and dying, so that the dead in the village will put a dirty hat on my head again next time." Xiao Mo Laughing, trying to reassure my sister-in-law.

Deng Anjie was silent for a while, "You can do it yourself."

Deng Anjie didn't ask Xiao Mo what method he used to restore his health temporarily, and Xiao Mo didn't say anything clearly.

Deng Anjie simply believed in Xiao Mo, and didn't want Xiao Mo to think that she was looking for something.

Xiao Mo felt that there was no need to explain it in particular. After a long time, the family members would naturally understand.

The time has come to 05:30.

Xiao Mo stepped out of the gate holding a bench leg that had been broken off by force.

There is a cement road in front of the forest house, and the cement road winds forward and extends to the village in the distance.

On both sides of the concrete road are large fields, mostly green rice, and occasionally corn, peanuts, soybeans, yams and other crops.Looking farther away, you can still see the faint watermelon fields.

Speaking of my sister-in-law's house, he has been here several times in the town, but this is the first time he has come here in the village, and everything he sees is very fresh.

Farming now pays attention to high mechanization, and most villages in the suburbs of cities pay great attention to hygiene and image. The unique cattle, sheep, and pigs in rural areas have become extremely rare, and even few families raise chickens and ducks.

This is also the case in Zhouli Village.Not only was there not a single animal to be seen here, even the native dogs that were the most numerous in the countryside were gone.

"Xiaohong! Xuelihong--!" The two adults shouted as they walked.

Except for the corn field, the crop plants in other fields are not too tall, and you can see if there is anyone in the field at a glance.

It was almost evening, and there were still many people working in the fields, and some people walked around the fields with wooden sticks and bamboo poles and other things to patrol.

Some people in the field saw them, and many people clenched their weapons tightly. Someone recognized Deng Anjie, and immediately raised his voice and asked, "Sister Deng, who are you looking for? Who is that next to you? The newcomer?"

"This is our second child, Xiao Mo." Deng Anjie stopped and replied with a particularly loud voice, and at the same time asked: "We are looking for our child, have you seen it? It is the youngest Xiao Hong."

The villagers who heard the question looked at each other and shook their heads, but no one noticed a child passing by on the road.

"This is the second child of the Xiao family? Didn't he get an infectious disease and was about to die? Why did he recover suddenly?" The young man who asked the question just now was surprised.

Others also looked at Xiao Mo curiously.

Deng Anjie was not happy when she heard this, she lowered her face and said, "Dunning, what nonsense are you talking about! Who said that our second child is dying of illness and is also contagious? Who do you listen to nonsense? If it is really contagious, our family will die as soon as possible. They all collapsed, and wait until now? Our second child is only temporarily unable to move, and has been lying at home for a month. Now that he is healthy, he will be fine."

Xiao Mo said that he didn't mind and smiled at the villagers and the man, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, and everyone didn't mean it. Whoever lay on the bed for a month, and when it happens again, everyone will think wildly. I'm sorry, this It has caused trouble for everyone for a while. In the future, we will all live in the same village, please take care of it. As long as I, Xiao Mo, can help, you can open your mouth. By the way, brothers, have you seen such a tall, dressed man just now? A kid in jeans with a small denim bag passing by? That's my son, very naughty. Hehe!"

Xiao Mo's appearance and temperament belonged to the type of a good man at home. If he deliberately made friends with others, few people would feel bad for him from the very beginning.

The villagers had also heard a little about the turmoil in the Deng family's big house, and there were many rumors about this person among them. Many people also said that they wished that this person would die early, but now they saw that the legendary Standing healthy and healthy in front of them, who is dying of illness, it is inevitable that there is a bit of embarrassment in my heart and the guilt of cursing people behind my back.Looking at Xiao Mo's magnanimous and friendly attitude, who would have the nerve to show a face to him, or speak ill of him?

Dun Ning rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Hello, Second Brother Xiao. Cough, then, don't be angry, Sister Deng, I just listened to everyone's rumors. Besides... it's your elder brother and his wife's family. That’s right, we naturally thought it was true. But we really didn’t see the child, did any of you see it?”

Dunning turned his head and asked the people around him loudly.Everyone shook their heads.

"That disgusting family! Can you listen to what they say? Just bully the honest people of the old Xiao family, eat us, take ours, and even think about driving our whole family away. It's not enough to take advantage! Old Xiao and I If it’s not for my parents and elder brother’s sake... well, forget it, let’s not mention it, we are all family after all. It’s getting late, so be careful when you work, and we’ll go to the village to look for it.”

Deng Anjie was not bullied and came to the door without fighting back. In front of her, Xiao Mo was lying down like a plant patient. She had no position in arguing with others. Now Xiao Mo is healed, her waist is straight, and she has three points of confidence when she speaks. .

Xiao Mo suddenly raised his head, looking into the distance, his brows were full of doubts.

Deng Anjie was still there and asked everyone, "Dunning, if you see our children later, please help deliver them to our house when you go back. Thank you very much!"

"sister in law……"

"Huh?" Deng Anjie turned her head.

"Run!" Xiao Mo yelled violently, grabbed Deng Anjie's arm, and ran towards the village.While running, he still didn't forget to turn his head and shout to the villagers: "Something is coming! Get out of here quickly! Find a safe place to hide!"

Before the villagers could react, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen black dots flew close from the west of the sky.

Dunning raised his head, his face changed drastically, he picked up the hoe and ran, "It's a big locust! A swarm of big locusts is coming! Hurry up and go back to the village!"

Xiao Mo was so anxious that he was drenched in sweat, staring at the black spot from the corner of his eyes, and shouted wildly while running: "Xiao Hong! Where are you Xue Lihong? Hurry up and die!"

There is a fairly large threshing field where the village and the fields meet. At this time, many people heard or saw that the big locusts were coming. The people who were busy on the wheat field immediately put aside their work and grabbed Picking up the crude weapon that was put aside, Sa Yazi ran away.

Maybe everyone has trained or experienced the lesson of blood. Although the running people were flustered, they were not dizzy. Everyone was running towards the village.It's just...some people run fast, some run slowly, some people who run fast always feel that the person in front is blocking their way, pushing, shouting, even trampling...

"An Jie?" Xiao Wen dropped the mud-stirring stick and rushed towards his wife immediately.

"Second brother, you can run away?!" The brick mold in Xiao Da's hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Xiao Mo ran past him and slapped him awake, "Run faster! Dad, this way! Duoduo, hurry up!"

The Xiao family reunited, and the three brothers kept the old, middle and young three in the middle. Xiao Le thought he was an adult, and wanted to rush to the front to be side by side with his father, but was grabbed by his mother.

Xiao Mo shouted Xue Lihong's name while running.
