Age of Behemoths

When Qin Jixun heard about the choice of the little thorn, he also supported it.

Nowadays, it is almost a world where people rely on their strength for food. The only people who can be called white-collar workers are those researchers. Those over the age of 55, they also have to go out.Others, even medical staff, have to farm regularly or go out to collect various materials.

So if you want to find a partner who is about the same age as yourself, you have to face a very real problem-can you support yourself and him/her?

You can get as much food as you do. With the population of this gathering place, it is very easy to supervise.

Although Little Thorn was young, he could support the two of them, and Zhao Ye was not a lazy man just waiting to die, so the most basic problem was gone.Zhao Ye and the others also know each other well, and they know that he has a good personality, so what if there is a difference in age?It's really dangerous, and the world will be turned upside down again. Who knows who will be the last one standing?

As long as the little thorn is happy, grasp the most important thing in front of you.

The two of them had just discussed with Xiao Ci, and Xiao Ci's vacation hadn't ended yet. To be specific, Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun received the order to set off on the afternoon of the second day after he returned home from vacation.

Although according to the past calendar, it should be midwinter now, but in fact, the entire year in the settlement should be regarded as summer, but it is more accurate to describe it as dry season or rainy season.Now is the start of the dry season, and some communities of sensitive herbivores have already begun their migrations.What followed was the migration of carnivore communities.

The ancient city wall that was once eliminated has been erected again on the outskirts of the settlement, but the people living inside the city wall do not feel safe.At this time, capable people need to be dispatched frequently. Of course, they can't kill all the dangers, that's not realistic.However, at the very least, the predators found should be led as far away as possible from the gathering place.

And every time they are dispatched, these people who leave may say goodbye to their families forever.

Even though I have seen such things many times since I was a child, I still can't get used to every little thorn.It's just that he could cry when he was young, but when he grows up, he has learned to use a smile to cover up his worry and sadness.

After the farewell, when he answered home, Sheila, who was always a "cat" but never saw the end, was standing in the yard with the sheriff waiting for him.After the little thorn approached, he leaned over and rubbed his cheek against the little thorn's chest.Little Thorn hugged Sheila's head, feeling much calmer.

"Oh...thank you..." Little Thorn kissed the heads of Sheila and the sheriff. He still vaguely remembers being with him and protecting him when he was very young and his two fathers were not around. Yes, these furry and warm companions.

He still lives at home until the end of the holiday, because although two fathers have passed away here, there are more family members.Although he doesn't quite understand the meaning of this "year", getting along with his family is always a joy.Just occasionally, he would think of that person.

However, Zhao Ye forbade him to look for him during the holidays, because it is easy to be seen by others...

Immediately afterwards, the little thorn's vacation was over, and he was about to go back to school.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the furry family members left in the house. They are also familiar faces in the settlement. Just knock on the door of a family, and food will be delivered to their mouths. Of course, the family who prepares meals for them is also subsidized of.However, no matter how diligent those people are, they do not have the sincerity of their own family members.

"There will always be someone here to accompany you from now on." The more Zhao Ye thought about the transfer, the more benefits he would get after being transferred here, Xiao Ji gave each furry a hug, and left the house with a smile.

Dedicated to pre-school and extra curricular

——The building with the largest area in this settlement is also the strongest place, which has been reinforced and expanded several times.This is not just a place for children to learn, it will also be the last refuge in case of accidents.

Xiaoci didn't have many classmates in the same grade. After all, their generation was born during the catastrophe, and it was difficult for an adult to survive that year, let alone a baby.There are more and more low-grade students, because now there are more children and there are subsidies.Xiaoci heard that a long time ago, when the country still existed, there was such a thing as family planning.But what exactly is a country?And how many people will there be in a population of more than one billion?

"Qin Boyu, what happened?" Li Zhuo was the one who asked the question, a young man who was a little fat, but it wasn't that he ate a lot, but that he was the type who grew fat even after drinking cold water.

"...Is class going to start soon? Why is only half of the class here?" There are 35 people in the half of them, but there are only [-] in the class now.The classroom was not small in the first place, but seventeen people were now scattered in the corner in groups of three and five, making it even more empty.

"They were too lazy to come, and went to work with their parents ahead of time, saying that they would earn some food and drink one day earlier. We don't all have to worry about food and clothing like you!"

"Oh..." After the age of 15, the supplies for children will be halved, and then they will stop completely. If you don't have any outstanding abilities, then instead of continuing to waste time in school, it is better to be more realistic, go to farm, go to factories, go to No matter what you do on the construction site, you can always earn some food and drink.

"Don't be so depressed, I was just joking just now. Don't let others know, especially the girls in the class, they know what I said about your two fathers, they have to put me in a sack!"

"I know..." Xiao Ci smiled, of course he knew that Li Zhuo was a good person, but he had the habit of talking big.

"By the way, Qin Boyu, are you going to the army?"

"Should be." Xiaoba nodded. There is nothing to cover up. Although eating, drinking and housing are better when going to the army, it is a life-threatening job every day. He is a mutant with combat effectiveness. Doubt whether it is through the back door, it should be.

"Be careful, don't die young." Li Zhuo patted Xiao Ci on the shoulder.

"Where are you going? Have you settled down?"

"I don't know yet, but I want to try to participate in the assessment of hospitals and research institutes." Li Zhuo scratched the back of his head, he should be considered a mutant, but he was slightly better than ordinary people in terms of cold and heat resistance, and not obvious in other aspects The mutation, even a little weaker in terms of physical strength, of course the army can't go, and he doesn't seem to want to go.

"I wish you success." Little Thorn slapped him back.

The first section of the day is a history class, which is not used anywhere, and most of the nouns in it are mostly incomprehensible to them, but except for those who have already made a default appointment, unless they are going to farm, otherwise they will need it no matter where they go. test this.Xiaoci once asked Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun, and also asked some people who participated in the formulation of this policy, why are these useless things taken?

Those people had only one answer: "You should remember."

What's more, Qin Jixun said to him: "Even if you don't understand why you should remember, after decades or hundreds of years, someone will always know why you should remember."

So that is to say, you have to learn even if it is useless.At least those who still came to class, including Li Zhuo Neidou, studied very hard, whether they understood it or not, they had to memorize it by rote, because the next exam would determine their future.

Xiao Ci felt that it was superfluous for him, who had already been pre-determined, to sit here. In order not to make himself appear so exceptional, he could only pretend that he was as serious as everyone else.

Time passed little by little, and finally it was time for the outdoor class.Moreover, today's content is still his favorite, field training and camping, and he will return to school tomorrow afternoon.Not only their grade, but also two other grades will also be taken out.More than a dozen teachers and a small team were sent from the army to accompany them for protection.

——Although the place they went must have been cleared first, but as long as they walked out of the fence, no one could be sure that the land outside was safe.

Of course, Zhao Ye was also among the accompanying people, and he was making final stage preparations with others.

The battle caused him to lose a leg, but among those who survived, there were quite a few capable men and strangers. Someone made him a prosthetic leg out of wood and metal.Originally, it was just to allow him to walk on his own, but it may be the special physique of the mutant, or it may be just his perseverance and hard work. Now Zhao Ye is not inferior to ordinary people even if he runs.

But Xiao Ji knew that there was a layer of calluses on his short legs that probably wouldn't feel pain even if he pricked them with a needle, it was all worn out by his prosthetics.It was hard to imagine how Zhao Ye treated his broken leg before those calluses appeared.

They lined up and ran away. Everyone they saw on the road was busy. Even the elderly who were no longer assigned work helped dry vegetables or clean the road.

They ran all the way. Although the air was a bit dry today, the sunshine was very good. Running in such sunshine, even the bones felt soothed.

Little Thorn was able to run to the first place, but since a long time ago, he has only been running in the middle of the team, or in other words, running beside Zhao Ye.In fact, Xiao Ci never turned his head to stare at Zhao Ye, and he rarely even put his eyes on him, but as long as he does this... smelling the vague smell of him in the air, he will It's already satisfying...

At night, senior students also take turns to watch the night with teachers and soldiers.Little Thorn couldn't escape such a job. To his surprise, Zhao Ye was in the same group as him (the other soldier was ignored by him). Since the two of them had different impulses, Zhao Ye I have been avoiding this kind of thing.

But Xiao Ci didn't think he had figured it out, he just had a bad hunch.

Sure enough, another soldier left, no matter what Zhao Ye said.When it was just the two of them, the normal expression on Zhao Ye's face disappeared, and he looked dazed and confused.

"You told your two fathers about me and you?"
