16 years

Because of the arrival of the action team, the dreary refugee gathering place instantly became a family of soldiers and civilians. Yang Yun was young and adaptable, and even went to play a game of guessing shells with He Tang for a while, and finally succeeded in winning 3: 2 won and was able to touch her gun.

It’s just that adults don’t have the energy of children. After a few days of fear, most people’s spirits have been stretched to the extreme. They are suddenly given food and light, which makes them too lazy to think about where they should go tomorrow. They just want to enjoy the relaxation in front of them. and tranquility.

Fu Yan's fever had not completely subsided, so Liu Ruosong found a corner to put his clothes on and let him rest on his lap.Fu Yan wanted to say no at first, but was silenced by the stares of the "accompanying family members", and lay down obediently, with Liu Ruosong's coat on his body.

Because of the training, Fu Yan was able to seize the time to replenish energy as much as possible under safe conditions.He quickly fell asleep with his head tilted, breathing very lightly in his deep sleep.

Liu Ruosong groped under the coat for a while, held his hand under the cover of the coat, and looked at him with lowered eyes.

In the past few days when Fu Yan lost contact, he was calm on the surface, but in fact he has not been resting well.He always had the same dream intermittently, but he couldn't remember what was in the dream and what made him so bored.

Liu Ruosong is not a superstitious person, but after many times, it is inevitable that he will feel guilty in his heart.He told himself that it was too much mental pressure that affected his rest, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling that it was some kind of ominous omen.

He spent three days in this kind of dragging and worrying, and it was only now that he saw Fu Yan that he was completely relieved.He touched the other person's slightly warm skin and sighed heavily.

He Tang, who was not far away, raised his head when he heard the sound, exchanged a glance with him, then gave him a comforting smile, and made a "rest" gesture.

They used gestures to communicate more when performing tasks. During special times, He Tang and the others did not hide their secrets, and taught Liu Ruosong everything.Liu Ruosong accepted her kindness, smiled, and replied "I know".

"What are you looking at?" He Feng pressed He Tang's head on his shoulder, and said vaguely, "Sleep."

He Tang was a little dissatisfied with his simple and rude behavior, but he muttered, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of the human cushion, turned over and fell asleep with his arms around He Feng's waist.

Yao Tu and Shao Qiu didn't rest, they made a final inspection, and then extinguished several accompanying lights, leaving only the farthest one to illuminate.

Fang Sining didn't sleep either, he was always looking for a chance to have a few words with Shao Qiu alone, but unfortunately the other party always avoided him with excuses, in such a closed place as the cold chain warehouse, Fang Sining couldn't catch him.

"Researcher Fang seems to have something to tell you." Yao Tu whispered, "I've been watching you."

"I have nothing to say to him." Shao Qiu said.

"Then you still hide from people." Yao Tu said, "If you really didn't care, you wouldn't hide on purpose."

Shao Qiu was poked at the center by his finger, silent for a while, and took a few steps away from the crowd.

Yao Tu saw that he had something on his mind to talk about, so he followed him intimately, and followed him until he reached the back door of the cold chain warehouse before stopping.

Shao Qiu touched his body, took out the half pack of cigarettes Fu Yansai gave him, and gave one to Yao Tu.

"You said, can people really let go of the resentment they once had?" Shao Qiu asked.

"Let's see what it's like." Yao Tu said seriously: "If it's very serious, maybe not. But if time has healed the wound, or if you don't care about it, then you will naturally let go of it."

"When Fang Sining left me to become Shao Xuefan's student, that's when I hated him the most," Shao Qiu said.

At first, Yao Tu thought that the "he" in his mouth was referring to Fang Sining, and was about to say something to comfort him, but found out that he was referring to Shao Xuefan.

"He is not a good father, nor is he a good husband. He only cares about his research, and has no affection for me or my mother. Sometimes I don't know whether he sees us as a burden, or just ignores us "Shao Qiu said: "Every time he gives money, it makes me feel like I am a beggar who depends on others."

"Maybe...he's just not good at expressing himself?" Yao Tu said with difficulty.

"He's a beast." Shao Qiu said.

This was the first time Shao Qiu described Shao Xuefan so sharply that Yao Tu was stunned and almost didn't answer.

Shao Qiu took a deep breath, looked back at He Feng's direction, then tilted his head as a gesture.

"Brothers and sisters, the relationship is very good, right?" Shao Qiu said.

Yao Tu didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he could only nod his head.

"I also had a younger sister." Shao Qiu said: "But when my mother was pregnant with her, she was too old and in poor health. She insisted on staying, but her physical condition really did not allow her, and the pregnancy stopped at seven months. gone."

"Shao Xuefan, my biological father by blood, did not come back to see my mother once when she was pregnant. The only time he came back was the day of the induced labor." Shao Qiu said: "Then Shao Xuefan packed her away in a refrigerator, saying it was just right. To verify one of his conjectures."

Yao Tu: "..."

The use of "just in time" is really too brute. At this moment, Yao Tu especially wanted to ask Shao Qiu if Shao Xuefan had any emotional barriers, but he didn't dare to say because of the ugly look on Shao Qiu's face.

"I didn't know when he came. I went through the formalities downstairs. When I went upstairs, he had already left." Shao Qiu said: "Two months later, I finally saw him in his research institute. He asked for..."

Shao Qiu stopped abruptly, as if he couldn't say the word "corpse", he pursed his lower lip in pain, Yao Tu hummed thoughtfully, and said, "I can understand, you can tell me."

"He seemed very puzzled, but maybe he saw that I was too hysterical, so he gave it to me in the end." Shao Qiu said: "He said he was doing it for human progress and for higher-level medicine, but I don't care, I'm not that old. I just can't accept her being an experimental waste."

"I really can't persuade you." Yao Tu said honestly, "Because I'm also shocked now."

"His status is so high, every move seems to be able to promote 'human development' and 'medical progress', but I just think he is hypocritical." Shao Qiu said: "He is a monster who has no feelings and harms others. Fang Sining obviously knows everything. I know, but I still want to be his student."

"He is my best friend." Shao Qiu said, "But he betrayed me."

"This is not a betrayal." Yao Tu patted his young deputy on the shoulder and said, "Actually, everyone is an independent individual. He pursues his own future. That's right—it's just that he doesn't care about you. That's all."

"Maybe he doesn't know that you will feel bad about it, or maybe he knows, but after weighing the two, he thinks his ideal is more important." Yao Tu said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two of you are not suitable to be friends. "

These words hurt people at first, but Shao Qiu knew that he was telling the truth.Yao Tu seems to be born with this kind of ability. He can make delicate judgments at the most appropriate time. He can find ways to comfort Liu Ruosong in details when he is worried and uneasy, and he can also find ways to comfort Liu Ruosong when he is indulging in the pain of the past. The stick knocked himself awake.

He is simply a talented player who prescribes the right medicine.

"It's easy to break up, but it's hard to reconcile." Shao Qiu took his last puff of cigarette, threw it on the ground and crushed it, and said in a low voice, "Besides, there's no reason to reconcile."

Yao Tu didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh, and patted Shao Qiu's shoulder to comfort him.

They have been comrades-in-arms for so long, and there is nothing they can't say to each other. Shao Qiu pursed his lips, held his wrist, and squeezed it hard.

"Go back." Yao Tu said, "We still have to meet each other on this journey. If you feel uncomfortable, I can block it for you."

Shao Qiu didn't say yes or no, he just shook his head and said, "Let it take its course."

Yao Tu hummed and walked back side by side with him.

Going back from the side door of the warehouse, you have to go through a hallway of about [-] meters, which was probably used for non-delivery employees to enter and exit before the warehouse was closed.

The two of them walked back side by side, and before they could pass through the extremely short corridor, they heard a scream coming from the warehouse.

Shao Qiu and Yao Tu looked at each other, then rushed back.

The group of people who were huddled together to rest were all awake now, they stepped back a few steps in panic, revealing a twisted and struggling man in the crowd.

The man's complexion was in pain, hesitating like convulsions all over his body, his teeth were chattering, and he looked in extreme pain.

Fu Yanzao woke up when the commotion broke out, he held down Liu Ruosong, then held the gun in his hand, and walked towards the crowd.

Shao Qiu chased him from behind, pressed his shoulder and pulled him back very lightly, and said, "Captain, you are still injured, I'll go and see."

As he spoke, he crossed Fu Yan and walked a few steps near the crowd. He saw the man lying on the ground, scratching the floor with his fingernails in pain, and an elderly couple lying beside him, eagerly calling his name. Look like I'm about to cry.

It's just that the man turned a deaf ear and just shouted coldly.

Fu Yan frowned, and shouted: "Everyone spread out, stay away from him—retreat to the other side."

The members of the action team have always ordered and prohibited Fu Yan, and when they saw this, they immediately rushed up from left to right, protecting the people who retreated, and separated the two sides.

It's just that the old couple couldn't bear to leave, and still patted the man's face stubbornly, wanting to talk to him.

Fu Yan frowned. In just a few seconds, the man could no longer control his body. He waved his hands and struggled vigorously, almost throwing the two old people over from his body.

"It's cold...it hurts..." the man groaned, rolling around on the ground, his nails scratching the ground with a teeth-stinging sound.

He Feng winked at He Tang, and the two stepped forward together, half forcing and half persuading him away.

Seeing the man struggling harder and harder, Shao Qiu had no choice but to clasp his hands behind his back and forcefully press him on the ground.

"Captain, is this a symptom of infection?" Shao Qiu asked him in a heavy tone, "How should I deal with it?"

Fu Yan is also suspicious of this matter - chills, limb stiffness, brain death, and organ decay are typical symptoms of infection

But this virus has no incubation period, and once infected, it will definitely mutate. Fu Yanshi has lived with them for several days. The man has been very normal for the past few days, and there is no wound on his body. Fu Yan couldn't figure it out for a while, what happened to him infected.
