poor road [end times]

After Feng Lin said "it has nothing to do with me", Wang Yumin and Qian Guowei looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wang Yumin probably also heard something, seeing Feng Lin's attitude, although he was stunned for a moment, he didn't show too much surprise.

Qian Guowei showed a thoughtful expression, but it was only for a moment.

He quickly laughed and said, "We were just looking for Dr. Wang, and you came here. You and your nephew can talk about the past first, and I will take them upstairs."

Wang Yumin didn't ask them what they were doing upstairs, but just nodded: "Okay, thank you Qian Dui."

After finishing speaking, he and Wang Che watched each other go upstairs.

Like the prison building, the office building has only five floors in total. The area of ​​the small building is not too large, and the layout of each floor is roughly the same.There is a lobby and stairs in the middle. There are six symmetrical offices of about [-] to [-] square meters in the east corridor, a conference room of [-] square meters and four small offices in the west corridor, and public restrooms at the ends of both sides.

While going upstairs, Qian Guowei explained to the two that the west side of the first floor is now a temporary hospital, and the right side is the convalescent ward and where the doctors and nurses sleep.

When he was on the first floor just now, Yang Yiqin smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant, mixed with a faint smell of blood and rust.But he only saw Wang Yumin and no other doctors, so he asked, "How many doctors and nurses are there in the base now?"

"Three doctors and four nurses." Qian Guowei replied, "There are not many injured people now, and Doctor Wang and the others can still be busy."

Yang Yiqin can also think of the reason why there are not many injured people——

Zombie wounding is nothing more than bites and scratches, and once these two situations occur, it is actually equivalent to "no cure".

Therefore, Wang Yumin and the others were not so busy.

Seeing that they went up a few more floors and reached the top soon, Yang Yiqin didn't continue to ask Wang Yumin why he was at the base.After Wang Che knew about it, he would always tell him.

Qian Guowei led them to stop on the fourth floor.

Yang Yiqin looked around and found that there was an iron door on the stairs leading to the fifth floor. At this time, the iron door was closed tightly, and it was impossible to get in from the outside.

"The fifth floor is the laboratory of the scientists." Qian Guo simply explained, "The fourth floor is where the base's decision-makers live."

As for the situation on the second and third floors, he didn't say much, but took Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin to the east side of the fourth floor, and knocked on the door of a personal office at the end.

A voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Qian Guowei pushed the door open and went in.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin also stepped into the office.

This office is about the same size as the downstairs, but there is only one desk, and a separate inner room is separated as a lounge.At this time, in addition to a separate desk, there was also a small conference table in the office, which seemed a bit crowded.

There were two men and a woman in the room, discussing something around the table.

Qian Guowei said: "These three are General Zheng, Commander Lin and Secretary Li. They are the temporary managers of our base."

General Zheng looked more than sixty years old, and his hair was mostly gray, but he was extremely imposing, but standing there made people feel that he was indomitable.Head Lin is a little younger, a man in his 40s, with a straight spine and a resolute face.Secretary Li also looks 40 years old. She is a woman with a very kind smile. Apart from being approachable, she also has a calm and decisive temperament.

"You are here." General Zheng, who was sitting in the middle, stood up and extended his hand to them with a smile on his face. "Someone told me just now that you are the first survivors to arrive, right?"

The other two also stood up.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin shook hands with each other.

"Hi, I'm Yang Yiqin."

"Hello, Feng Lin."

"I know, sit down, everyone." General Zheng said kindly, "Don't worry, the main reason for calling you here is to understand the situation."

Several people sat down around a small conference table.

To be honest, Yang Yiqin was a little surprised when the person in charge of the base met them in person—because if it wasn't for the end of the world, he probably wouldn't have had any in-depth contact with people of this level in his life.

Even so, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and his tone and attitude were like treating ordinary elders, very calm.

Yang Yiqin nodded: "General Zheng, I'm sure I'll tell you everything."

"Hahaha, yes, your courage and character are very good." General Zheng praised, "Qian Guowei has always been very good at judging people."

Qian Guowei smiled: "The main reason is that these two young people are very different at first glance."

General Zheng also laughed: "I heard that there are 11 survivors in your group, and it was all due to the two of you that they arrived safely?"

The outbreak of the zombie apocalypse has only been more than ten days, and there was a week of heavy rain in the middle. Most ordinary survivors were shocked by this sudden disaster, and fell into the abyss of fear and timidity.Not to mention whether he dared to take the initiative to fight zombies, but to stay relatively calm and sober, living in a safe place is already very good.

When cleaning up the zombies in the base, Qian Guowei also found that many prisoners were frightened to the point of shit, and it took several days for them to return to normal.

It is also because their soldiers have undergone rigorous training, have seen the world and endured hardships, and each of them has cultivated a resolute and fearless character. This is why there is no chaos. Everyone can quickly clean up their emotions and follow the instructions of their superiors. Start the task.

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Yiqin was often praised by others, from elders to peers to younger generations.

He accepted it very calmly, not because he felt that he was really different, but it was okay to attribute other people's praise to his appearance and personality, and he happened to be good at martial arts, so he seemed quite special.

Today, he just took it as a kind compliment from his elders and accepted it without any burden.

"Thank you for the compliment." Yang Yiqin smiled with his eyes bent, "I just happen to know how to fight."

"It's not as simple as 'coincidentally'. No kidding, it's already at the level of a martial arts master." Qian Guowei said with a smile to the others, "When I met Yang Yiqin and his group, I happened to see him holding The bow and arrow shot to death three inertial zombies, 100% hit, very powerful."

Yang Yiqin grasped the key point: "Inertia Zombie?"

"The researchers temporarily named the zombies that retained their previous habits." Qian Guowei explained, "It is convenient to distinguish them from ordinary zombies."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "I see."

The name is casual, but very apt.

He knew that the reason why Qian Guowei went to the vicinity of the scenic spot was to wipe out the zombies in that village, and transported away the corpses of the sickle zombies for subsequent research.After the base learned about this type of zombie, it attached great importance to it, and immediately spared manpower to look for this type of zombie.

Thinking of those zombies, General Zheng also frowned: "According to the known information so far, this situation is just an exception, and there may only be such a few zombies among thousands of zombies, but the reason for their appearance, the earliest appearance The time...is still in doubt."

"When did it first appear?" Yang Yiqin said, "Very early, it should have appeared at the same time as ordinary zombies."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at him.

"Why so sure?"

Qian Guowei asked.

So Yang Yiqin recounted again, the incident when he encountered the driver's zombie in the early days of his outbreak.

General Zheng's face was serious: "It seems that it was earlier than we thought." He looked at Qian Guowei, "Just make a note and repeat the situation to Dr. Liang."

Qian Guowei nodded: "Okay!"

Then he quickly raised his pen to record this extremely important information.

The reason why they didn't discover it earlier than Yang Yiqin was mainly because in the first few days of the zombie outbreak, the team was heading to the sparsely populated outer suburbs to find a suitable place to use as a base.Before that, they took a short time to clean up the mutants in the team, and did not notice the appearance of strange zombies.

Later, it was discovered that the strangeness was due to seeing the zombies of prisoners behaving strangely.

Zombie viruses are treated equally.

Thinking that the first batch of zombies they dealt with were teammates who fought side by side together in the past, Qian Guowei couldn't help feeling sad.

Yang Yiqin continued: "The base should have noticed the appearance of zombie animals, right?"

Several people looked at each other with cautious expressions.

"I have noticed, but the number of discoveries is not large." General Zheng asked, "Did you also discover anything?"

Yang Yiqin took out his mobile phone, because it had been turned off all the time, so it still had a little battery.After turning on the phone, he opened the phone's photo album, found photos of the park next to the Tonghuayuan community, and then pushed the phone towards General Zheng and the others.

"This is an artificial lake in a small park near Feng Lin's house. All the aquatic animals in it have mutated."

General Zheng and the others frowned, took the mobile phone, and zoomed in on the picture to observe carefully.

The Beishi Survivors Base is located in a mountainous area. Although there is a stream formed by a mountain spring to the west of the base, their terrain is relatively high and they are upstream, so they have never seen such animals being infected on a large scale.

"On the first day of the end of the world, I saw a large dog that mutated after being bitten by humans. Its mutation time was almost the same as that of humans." Yang Yiqin continued to narrate slowly, "This photo was taken after continuous rainstorms. We suspect that a zombie bit a certain fish, the artificial lake is stagnant water, and after the fish mutated, they slowly bit and infected the animals in the pool."

Fortunately, even if the fish became zombies, they did not have the ability to run on the ground.However, if this happened to large social mammals, the consequences would be disastrous.

Others naturally thought of this too.

They have also found zombie animals, but they have not seen groups of zombie animals. The suburbs of Beishi do not have such an environment.There are military dogs in the base, and now they go out with various teams to perform tasks during the day, and now they have to pay more attention to the situation of the military dogs.

General Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Get Dr. Liang here."

In this way, there is no need to relay, and it is more intuitive to understand the situation face-to-face, and to discuss and communicate in a timely manner if there are any problems.

Qian Guowei responded, turned and left the office.

Not long after, he ushered in a researcher in his 30s.

Qian Guowei introduced: "This is Dr. Liang."

Dr. Liang looked at the photo, asked Yang Yiqin about the situation, then looked serious and fell into deep thought.

Everyone didn't urge him, so as not to interrupt his thinking.

"This virus is so weird that our team can only confirm that it is a prion, but there are few known prions like zombie viruses. Not only can it affect most mammals, but it can also spread across so many species. .”

Having said that, Dr. Liang took off his glasses and rubbed between his tired brows.

After putting on the glasses, he continued to ask, "Is there any news about my teacher? He is a real expert in virology. I think that only with him can the research of zombie viruses make a breakthrough."

General Zheng shook his head: "Academician Chen has not been found yet, and we cannot determine his whereabouts."

Yang Yiqin understands their difficulty in finding someone.

It's okay to have a purpose. Looking for people without a purpose in the city is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

The city is in chaos, it is already very difficult to escape to a place with few zombies, but it will be even more difficult to go to a place with a lot of zombies.An armored vehicle driving in is likely to be overwhelmed by a large number of zombies. The fearless zombie wave will come forward and use meat as a pad, even if the tank comes, it will not be able to move.

And once you encounter a wave of zombies, ordinary guns may not be able to resist, and you need hot weapons with greater firepower to open the way.They still have other powerful weapons, but the high-rise buildings in the city are compact, and there are many survivors who don't know where to hide. If they rashly launch a large-scale fire attack, they may destroy the building and accidentally injure the survivors. .

Even if the nearby survivors were saved and tens of thousands of zombies were killed, the road would be blocked by a large number of corpses and ruins, and they still couldn't get in.

After all, it was because there were too many zombies in the urban area.

Dr. Liang did not give up: "Have you searched at home, school, and research institute? If you have searched, why don't you go to other places for investigation?"

"Dr. Liang, in addition to Academician Chen, we also need to rescue other scientists." Qian Guowei said in a serious tone, "The base is short of manpower. When we rescued you, you also saw that we sacrificed several soldiers before we successfully rescued you. A scientist brought it out. Later, they sneaked into the laboratory and lost several people before successfully transporting a small part of the experimental equipment."

Dr. Liang calmed down and let out a breath: "Sorry, I was too excited."

He was really scared, afraid that something bad happened to the teacher.

Researching an unknown virus and finding a solution to the unknown virus is a long and difficult job.Without the help of the teacher, even if they are given better equipment, I am afraid that they will have to wait until the year of the monkey to get some research results.

But as Qian Guowei said, there are only two to three thousand people in the entire base now, which is not even as large as a middle school.But Beishi is so big, there are too many people to save, and too many supplies to prepare, they can only do one thing, one thing at a time.

Everyone present, including Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, understood that if the situation in the base could not improve, they would have to keep postponing the time to rescue ordinary people.In other words, in the gap between killing zombies and rescuing important people, you can save ordinary survivors nearby.

It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that I have more energy than I want.

If the survivors are like Yang Yiqin and the others, they don't have to have the ability to go to the base on their own, at least if they dare to take out the zombies near their homes and move to a temporarily safe place, the pressure on the base will be much less.

Ending the last days will be a long process that requires the joint efforts of all mankind.

Dr. Liang wanted to take away Yang Yiqin's cell phone, saying that he would copy the pictures to the computer and return them to him later.After the doctor left, the air in the meeting room was a bit dull.

General Zheng asked Yang Yiqin and the other two many questions, and finally said: "There are actually many reasons for calling you here. The main reason is that you are the first group of survivors who arrived at the base on their own. The base wants you to summarize Find out the route to escape from the city, sort out a living experience suitable for ordinary people, and spread it on the radio.”

The soldiers are all well-trained. They can reach the base by being brave, orderly and powerful, and they are not on the same route as ordinary survivors from the beginning, so they are not good as a reference. At most, they can impart some experience in survival skills.

Head Lin also said: "Although your route cannot completely represent the route of the survivors in the city, at least there are overlapping parts."

"Of course, your strong force cannot be reproduced, and it is not good to be used as a reference standard, but after all, you are a person who escaped on your own initiative." General Zheng said, "Now the survivors of Beishi are scattered in various places. It is of course the best situation to have food and a solid shelter, and to be able to wait for rescue for several months with peace of mind.”

"But there are still some situations where people don't have food and dare not look for it, and people who have food but the house is not strong enough... If these people don't take the initiative to escape, go to a safe place, and just wait for us, more than a thousand people, to rescue them, what will happen? ..."

Before he said everything, Yang Yiqin understood.

General Zheng and others racked their brains, but they wanted more survivors to live well.

Even if he can't go to the base by himself, at least he can survive until the base is rescued.

"Exactly." Feng Lin said, "I have a map."

It's the map they marked.

According to the map, Yang Yiqin narrated their experience from the Tonghuayuan Community to the road, detailing when and where they arrived, and what obstacles they encountered.Then they marked all the roads that might become obstacles that they encountered.

Several people present were full of praise for the decisions they made along the way.

After the end, Qian Guowei put away the notes and the map together, and prepared to hand them to the announcer later.

After finishing this matter, Yang Yiqin asked: "The most important thing is this matter, what about other matters?"

Seeing that he was so alert, they didn't want to be sloppy.

General Zheng said bluntly: "There is one more thing, that is, I hope to give you tasks with a higher degree of difficulty."

Yang Yiqin: "The degree of difficulty is higher?"

"Qian Guowei must have already mentioned to you that all survivors can obtain points by completing missions at the base, which can be exchanged for needed supplies with the base." General Zheng explained, "Ordinary people, we will arrange some The internal affairs of the base, but for people with force like you, we wonder if you can consider accepting the task of going out to the base."

"But just relying on one or two survivors, even if they go out, they can't perform any important tasks." Yang Yiqin boldly guessed, "Can I think that the base still wants the survivors to form a self-defense force or something like that?"

"That's right." General Zheng smiled happily, "That's what we think."

In the future, there will only be more and more people going to the base, and sooner or later it will far exceed the number of the army. Relying solely on the people at the base to go out to rescue people and find supplies will sooner or later become unbalanced.Therefore, they hope that among the survivors, there will also be people with strong brains and skills, who can form their own survival teams.

These teams can go out to collect supplies for themselves, or they can choose to take over the missions of the base.

And in the event of a large-scale disaster, the team formed by the survivors will also be a strong support.

"I understand." Yang Yiqin said, "It's all for the better operation of the base."

"In the early days, we will also support the team formed by the survivors from all aspects." Captain Lin added in a timely manner, "You can make your own choices."

In fact, Yang Yiqin himself also had this idea.

Yang Yiqin has his own sense of responsibility.

Yu Gong, he is capable, willing to save people, and willing to follow the country to establish a human safety zone.Personally, he doesn't want the person he loves to become a "fish". He wants to protect Feng Lin and his parents far away.

The main party in the base is the military. This will not change and must not change.However, with the expansion of the base and the increase in the number of people, some people will inevitably fight openly and secretly for supplies and the right to speak. At that time, there will definitely be a group of forces, just like the people in Hongjiahe.

Disputes are inevitable.

If you want to develop in the base for a long time, it is very important to have a trustworthy team.

Thinking about it further, Yang Yiqin even suspected that the base asked him to form a small team, which was a test of the waters—in addition to the need for manpower, perhaps there was also the idea of ​​letting them check and balance the restless forces after the base was mature.

"Although I haven't known Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin for a long time, based on my understanding of them, I always feel that they will agree." Qian Guowei said, "One is because they have a sense of responsibility and saved several people on the road. And those people they could have ignored. One is that they are indeed powerful, and even have weapons, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen that kind of archery."

Everyone has selfishness, and Qian Guowei's praise is actually hard to get rid of.

Head Lin asked: "Are you willing?"

Yang Yiqin's eyes were bright and firm.

"of course."

----

After the chat, Yang Yiqin, Feng Lin and Qian Guowei left the office.

"I knew you were brave and resourceful, and you would definitely agree." Qian Guowei smiled, "Thank you both for your cooperation today. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."

"I also have my own considerations." Yang Yiqin smiled, "And now everyone is afraid of the ferocious faces of zombies, and they have no experience in killing zombies. After a long time, they will get used to it and form a team to go out to collect supplies. They will definitely become survivors. daily life of the

Except for those who are extremely timid, such as Wu Shao.

Qian Guowei praised: "You think far ahead, you don't look like a young man who just started working at all."

But he is full of cheerfulness and vitality.

Yang Yiqin asked something else: "I've been wondering just now, how did Dr. Liang come to the base?"

"After the base stabilized a bit, we immediately launched a plan and took a helicopter to the research institute to rescue the scientists. The situation in the research institute was not very good. After Dr. Liang and others were rescued, we realized that Academician Chen was not there. Research Institute. Later we also sent people to his home, but we still couldn’t find anyone, and the search and rescue operation was at a deadlock for a while.”

With that said, Qian Guowei sighed deeply.

"Hey... the city is too crowded, not all places are suitable for parking helicopters."

Yang Yiqin comforted him: "There will be a way."

When the few people went down to the first floor, they were specially abducted to the temporary hospital.

In the temporary hospital, only a few injured survivors were recuperating, and Wang Che and Wang Yumin chatted in an empty consulting room.

Seeing relatives for the first time in the apocalypse, they seemed to have endless conversations. Wang Che saw Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, smiled at them, and said, "My uncle said, let me live with him temporarily, and I will find him when I am free." you."

Wang Yumin looked at Qian Guowei: "Captain Qian, can my nephew live in this building?"

"As long as it's a family member of a doctor, it's fine." Qian Guowei nodded, "Just register."

Wang Yumin smiled: "Thank you Captain Qian."

After bidding farewell to Wang Che, the three of them came to No. [-] Prison Building.

Qian Guowei knew that Yang Yiqin and the others had a lot of supplies in their car, and also knew that the two of them would soon form a small team.It was a test of the waters, and being the first squad of survivors meant a lot to the base.

So he asked the person in charge of the cell to separate a room for the two of them.

Time was limited, Qian Guowei gave a few instructions, and left in a hurry to perform other tasks.

"The condition of the base is average at present. You can live alone in a room now. When there are more people, you may have to live with other people." The guard of the prison said while taking them to the police office at the end of the third floor. , "Of course, except for the full house, Qian Dui also said just now, if you want to invite people to live together, remember to give us feedback in time."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "I understand."

It seems that if you want to live well, you have to speed up the expansion of the base.

Only when the expansion is completed can you choose real estate to your heart's content.

The person in charge of the prison cell handed them the key to the office, told them the location of the public bathroom, and went downstairs.

Once you enter the room, it is a spacious public office, but the desk has been removed and replaced by a few beds made of wooden boards, and there is a small monitoring room and bathroom inside.Compared with the prison dormitory, this office does not have proper beds and cabinets, but it has a lot more space than the dormitory.

The two of them were finally able to be alone, and Yang Yiqin's strength seemed to be taken away.

He let out a sigh of relief and sat on the plank.

"There is a foothold for the time being." Yang Yiqin raised his head and asked Feng Lin with a smile, "Shall we go and bring the supplies up first?"

Feng Lin walked over, bent down and hugged him.

"Hug first."

He said.

The author has something to say:
