poor road [end times]

After making a decision, Qian Guowei gave Yang Yiqin a walkie-talkie with a range of [-] to [-] kilometers, and said: "You drive behind the army card and follow the orders."

Yang Yiqin took the walkie-talkie: "Okay, thank you Captain Qian."

Qian Guowei said again: "You can just drive a car, drive your off-road vehicle, otherwise others will look at you and feel worried."

"No problem." Yang Yiqin asked, "Shall we start now?"

"Yes, you guys get ready." Qian Guowei glanced at his watch, "Just deal with breakfast, we will leave in 10 minutes."

Ten minutes later, it was only six o'clock in the morning.

Putting the two backpacks of survival supplies into the car, Feng Lin drove, Yang Yiqin sat in the co-pilot, and they followed a pile of military cards out of the base.

Within a few kilometers of the base, apart from the real estate on the east and west sides, there are also many scattered small villages.Some of them can't even be called villages, but just three or two farmhouses standing alone in the fields or by the ponds.

They are going to "sweep" four villages today.

This task is less dangerous, because the army has already cleaned up the zombies, and before moving the supplies, for safety reasons, soldiers will first check every room with a gun.

Although it is not as good as a truck, Feng Lin's off-road vehicle has a large capacity.

This time Qian Guowei asked them to come out, and he didn't ask them to share too much. There are also a lot of supplies on the off-road vehicle, not to mention that the roof can also store supplies.

Arriving at the first village, the army personnel inspected every room in the village, and the logistics personnel who carried the supplies got out of the car.

Qian Guowei said to Yang Yiqin: "Although you just said that you are also short of supplies, our rule is to give priority to moving food and medicine. After one-third of the handover to the base is ready, you can take what you want .”

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin was puzzled: "From what Captain Qian said, it seems that not all materials can be handed over to the base in exchange for points?"

"Of course, we only collect useful materials." Qian Guowei smiled, "For example, if the base still lacks quilts and bed boards, you can turn in the quilts and bed boards. When there is no shortage of these types of materials in the future, we will No more."

Otherwise, the warehouse at the base should be turned into a garbage dump.

At present, the conditions of the base are difficult, and everything is lacking, so everything is needed.But at all times, food, water, medicine, weapons, and equipment are scarce resources.

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, it happened to be the harvest time of wheat. There should be a lot of bags of wheat kernels and wheat noodles in the village. Let's help out a little more."

"I lived in the village when I was a child." Qian Guowei patted him and said with a smile, "I also know the harvest time of wheat."

"Indeed, I often go back to the countryside now." Yang Yiqin also laughed, "But it was also mentioned in "Guan Mo Mai", 'people are busy in May'."

May of the lunar calendar is around June of the Gregorian calendar, when summer is the hottest, so some places call the harvesting period of wheat in the north "summer busy".

These villages are all small villages with less than a hundred households. Because it is midsummer, each household does not store many vegetables and meat, but each family has their own vegetables in the yard, and some people raise their own chickens and ducks. Fortunately, the fish were not infected.

Yang Yiqin hasn't eaten fresh vegetables and meat for a long time.

Feng Lin: "Want to eat?"

"I want to eat." Yang Yiqin said frankly, "but let's find a bedding first."

In his opinion, it is best to catch chickens, ducks and fish alive, so as to achieve sustainable development. Unfortunately, there are no breeding conditions in the base.The more this happened, the more he envied the orchards and fields on the west side of the base, and the wasteland and creeks on the east side.

Regardless of real estate, when will these places be circled?

Only by planting land and raising livestock can we have fresh meat and vegetables.

The people did not move these domestic animals, but drove them into the pen first.It is too time-consuming to kill and bloodletting, so it is better to tie up the living ones and go back.

They turned to move the rice, flour, oil and clean clothes in the house. There was also a small shop in the small village, and everyone was orderly and not messy. They moved all the supplies in the small shop to the army card in the blink of an eye.

In one family's home, Yang Yiqin actually found a new quilt and quilt cover that had not been opened yet.

He glanced at the label and nodded with satisfaction: "220 by 240, double quilt, perfect."

Feng Lin: "..."

After silence, he turned to look for other supplies.

Yang Yiqin looked at his back and couldn't help but smile in his heart: he can be shy at this level.

There were no new beds and pillows available. They could only take two sets from the bed that was not stained with blood. As for whether there was dust or not, it didn't matter.Originally, I wanted to see if there were any clothes that fit, but the two of them were tall, and there were mostly left-behind elderly people living in the village, so I had to wait until sometime to go to a large shopping mall.

The villagers only take it back for other people in the base to wear.

In today's villages, especially those in big cities, it is rare to see firewood cooking, and most of them use gas stoves and gas tanks.Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin worked together to carry a few cans into the trunk of the car.

Seeing this, Qian Guowei, who was carrying two bags of rice on his shoulders, asked them, "Do you want to cook for yourself?"

Yang Yiqin nodded with a smile, and replied, "We want to start a business by ourselves, which is more convenient."

Qian Guowei reminded: "It is a violation of the regulations if there are so many."

"It's okay." Yang Yiqin explained, "We only keep one can at a time, and the rest will be given to the base."

Gas tanks are also very important supplies for the base, because they have to prepare a lot of food every day to supply soldiers and survivors.

"Very good." Qian Guowei smiled, "After enclosing the wasteland on the right side of the base, we can try a wood-burning stove and make a big pot of rice."

Dry wood is much easier to find than gas cans.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yiqin immediately asked, "When is the base going to be expanded?"

"We have to wait. Now it is definitely more important to eliminate zombies and save people. The base must be absolutely safe, and all kinds of support must be in place before we can start the expansion work." Without manpower and equipment."

After speaking, he continued to work.

They did not stop and return, sweeping from village to village.

Every household has daily necessities, ranging from small sanitary ware to large wardrobes, as long as they are still clean, Yang Yiqin does not take less.

The cabinet is filled with things, and then tied to the roof of the off-road vehicle with ropes, and materials can continue to be stacked up.The gaps in the trunk of the off-road vehicle and the spacious rear seats were not spared, they were filled with all kinds of food and daily necessities, and the gaps in the front seats were filled with muddy fruits and vegetables.When the space on the roof of the car was almost occupied, he tied up the wings of live chickens and ducks and tied them into a string. He also caught the fish and strung them on a string with a fishing line through the mouth of the fish, and hung them all outside the car. .

It can be said that the space is used to the extreme.

There are also people who raise pigs and sheep, and these can only be installed with military cards for the army.

The feeling of harvest from this trip is indescribable.

However, the number of rural areas near the base is limited, and it won't take long for this kind of happiness to be experienced. The villages will be moved to almost the same size, and at that time they will move to towns and urban areas.

Whether the shopping mall is good or not, the degree of risk also increases a hundredfold.

The last village is the one in the south of the scenic spot, and it was already afternoon when we rushed there.

On the way, Yang Yiqin turned on the car radio and heard that the words on the radio were changed.The broadcast mentioned that some survivors had already arrived at the base, and also gave the corresponding route to remind those who wanted to take this route of the dangers that needed attention.

Listening to the radio, they settled their lunch in the car.

When the army disposes of the corpses of zombies, they usually use bulldozers to push the corpses down the roadside slope, and the rest will be discussed later.After all, there are not so many manpower and material resources now to dig pits, burn corpses, and bury ashes.

Yang Yiqin saw the zombies on the side of the road from a long distance away, and knew that they were about to reach their last destination.

Yesterday, Qian Guowei led the team to clear up the zombies that must pass through the base, and brought the corpses back to the base by the way, and handed them over to Dr. Liang and other researchers for research.Therefore, many materials were not transported in time, and they only took a rough look, and after confirming that there were no survivors, they hurried back.

Because this village is full of farmhouses, there are many bed cabinets, tables and chairs, pillows, and more kitchen utensils than ordinary farmers.The military truck is a large truck with a tonnage of more than ten tons, and it can be loaded even if it is stacked.

Yang Yiqin also picked out two sets of tables and chairs, and stacked them on the wardrobe on the roof with ropes.

He glanced at the roof of the car and said with emotion: "Fortunately, it's not in the urban area, otherwise the height limit will not pass."

After their car was full, the two began to help the army people, moving supplies to the army card.After a few trips, many soldiers laughed and boasted: "You are really strong! You have surpassed us."

"It's okay." Yang Yiqin smiled heartily, "I usually like to exercise."

Especially Feng Lin, for some reason, seemed to be stronger than before.With their help, everyone moved a lot faster.

When moving to the innermost part of the village, a domestic garden cat suddenly jumped off the roof and stopped in front of Yang Yiqin.

Feng Lin thought it was a zombie cat, and immediately raised his axe.

"Wait a minute." Yang Yiqin raised his hand to stop him, "It seems that there is no zombie."

Feng Lin stopped his hands.

The two stopped and looked at the cat carefully.

This adult cat is more than 40 centimeters long, but it is skinny and skinny. Its black and white fur has long lost its luster and is stuck together with mud, making it look particularly miserable.But its yellow-orange eyes were extraordinarily energetic, looking at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin warily, as if thinking about something.

It seems to be looking for help.

Chinese pastoral cats are very intelligent, but it is rare to see such aura.

Yang Yiqin looked down at the pastoral cat.

The two of them and the cat stalemate for a while, and Tian Yuan Mao suddenly "meowed" at him, dragging his thin body and walking in another direction.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at each other and followed.

Tianyuanmao took them to the second floor of the small farmyard, and entered the room at the end. Looking at the layout of the room, this should not be a room for guests, but the residence of the owner of the farmhouse.The cat stopped, looked up and meowed in a weak and urgent voice.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked up to see the situation above.

On the top of the corner of the room, there was a boxy, white-painted "door."

There are slanted tile eaves on the roof of this self-built farm house, which is beautiful, sun-proof and heat-resistant. Presumably, the owner used the gap between the tile roof and the flat roof as a storage attic, so he left such a door specially. .

The meowing of the pastoral cat became more urgent.

...someone?

Yang Yiqin brought a ladder, climbed up the ladder, and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong!" It was an iron door.

After knocking a few times, there was no sound in the attic.

The door is not locked, and it can be opened by pushing it up. Yang Yiqin was about to try to push it up, when Feng Lin said, "Let me do it."

is worried about him.

"It's okay." Yang Yiqin pulled out the Miao Dao from his waist, "Help me hold the ladder up."

After speaking, he held the seedling knife in one hand and pushed open the iron door with the other.

I have to say that the iron door is a bit heavy, and it seems that something is pressed on it.The iron door was pushed open, and there were two crackling sounds from the attic, as if something was moving away from the door.

Yang Yiqin smelled an unpleasant smell - not the smell of corpses, but the smell of people eating and drinking in one place for a long time.

With a thought, he jumped onto the edge of the attic, took out a small flashlight, and looked forward.

I saw two children in the attic, a ten-year-old girl hugging her two- or three-year-old brother, her eyes tightly closed.Both children were thin and dirty, and there were empty mineral water bottles and snack bags piled up at their feet, as well as a bag of disassembled wheat seeds.

Probably because I ran out of snacks, so I had to chew hard on the wheat.

Yang Yiqin noticed that they still had a dead mobile phone, which should have been left by their parents.

"Don't be afraid."

With a soft voice, he put down the knife in his hand, turned off the light of the flashlight, and with the help of a little light from the head below, he could barely see things clearly.

"I'm here to save you."

Without the bright light that had not been seen for a long time, the little girl covered her brother's eyes, and opened her eyes to look at Yang Yiqin in fear.It took a long time before the little girl spoke, her voice was childish and hoarse, with a crying tone: "Brother, where are my parents..."

Yang Yiqin choked up.

In this case, they are most likely to encounter an accident.

"Follow brother first." Yang Yiqin stretched out his hand towards them, "My brother will take you to the police uncle and the doctor."

The girl stayed there for a while, seeing the other party's gentle smile, subconsciously felt that there was no danger, so she dragged her brother and crawled towards him.

Yang Yiqin turned around and said, "Feng Lin, help me tear off two strips of cloth."

Feng Lin went into the bedroom and pulled two clean cloth strips, and after handing them to Yang Yiqin, he asked, "Is there anyone?"

"There are two children, please help pick them up below."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at the little girl, and coaxed softly: "You haven't seen a strong light for a long time, my brother will help you cover your eyes."

The little girl nodded dully.

Helping the two children cover their eyes, Yang Yiqin picked them up and handed them to Feng Lin below.

At this time, Qian Guowei came over after not seeing anyone for a long time.

When he saw Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin holding a child alone, he was instantly taken aback: "Where did you find these two children?"

"In the attic." Yang Yiqin explained, "There was almost no movement, and a cat brought us here..."

Having said that, he looked down and found that the garden cat had gone somewhere.

It seems that it came back just to find someone to save the two children.

"Is it Huahua?" The little girl leaned on Yang Yiqin's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Huahua and her parents are downstairs, Huahua is here, where are her parents?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the younger brother began to cry, clamoring to find his mother.

The adults present were silent.

Qian Guowei patted his younger brother's head, and said to Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, "Take them back to the base first, and check their bodies."

Yang Yiqin nodded.

"it is good."

After passing the inspection in the isolation room, Qian Guowei immediately brought the two children to Dr. Wang.The two children were young and had been hungry for too long, fearing that something might happen to their bodies, so they were temporarily put in a makeshift hospital.

Afterwards, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin followed the team, handed over one-third of the supplies to the base, and then drove to the downstairs of the No. [-] cell.

Since the two of them had no experience in killing chickens and ducks, they handed over the live chickens and ducks to the base, leaving only a lot of fruits and vegetables.Yang Yiqin was going to wait for the canteen to make chicken and duck, and exchange points directly.

The two moved back and forth several times, and moved the remaining supplies upstairs.

It was already past four in the afternoon.

"I don't want to do anything else, let's start cleaning." Yang Yiqin rolled up his sleeves, "Let's find a place to eat and live first."

Feng Lin responded, "Okay."

They washed the bed and bedding first, and put them on the edge of the window sill before the sun set and the temperature was still high, and they should be able to dry them tomorrow.

There were six bed boards in the room, and they put two of them together to make a double bed.The rest are stacked together, leaning against the corner of the wall together with the wardrobe, and some things can be stored between the stacked bed boards.

Finally, the two set up tables and chairs for eating and cooking, and installed the gas tank and gas stove.

After an hour of busy work, the police office finally looked like a dormitory.

For dinner, the two had their first meal of fried vegetables and scrambled eggs with tomatoes after the end of the world.

After eating and drinking enough, looking at the supplies in the room, Yang Yiqin thought to himself, he must not allow strangers to live in in the future.As for the acquaintances... Wang Che has a residence, and Liao Wei is still investigating.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that they have no other trustworthy same sex.

"Hey, who should we let live with us?"

Yang Yiqin looked at the wooden beds piled up in the corner and felt sad.

Hearing this, Feng Lin stared at him for a moment, then suddenly said, "I don't want to live with other people."

Yang Yiqin was taken aback: "..."

He knew that Feng Lin was not a pleasure-seeking character, and there must be other reasons for the other party to say that.

After Yang Yiqin thought about it for a while, he discovered the problem.

——The office is a large open space. If other people are allowed to live in, he and Feng Lin will have to sleep separately, and they should also reduce intimate movements so as not to affect others.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqin suggested: "Perhaps we can divide the office into several compartments? But we need to prepare wooden boards and tools..."

Seeing that he was also thinking about the same problem as himself, a faint smile appeared in Feng Lin's eyes.

"It's all trivial, I'll prepare."

Yang Yiqin smiled: "Then we'll talk about it later."

Afterwards, the two of them were going to go to the person who posted the mission and ask what else could be done in the base.I went out with the army during the day, and each scored four points. I don't know how much food one point can exchange for.

They don't lack supplies, and they don't particularly want to accumulate points. They just think that the infrastructure of the base should be done as soon as possible so that they can move forward to the next stage.

Yang Yiqin had inquired with Qian Guowei, and the person who released the task was a veteran named Yuan, everyone called him Lao Yuan.

Lao Yuan also had a small soldier to help him, and the two took turns shifting day and night, eating and living in the broadcasting room next to the playground.They are mainly responsible for the management of tasks, as well as some other miscellaneous internal affairs, taking multiple roles.

There are few people in the base, many rules have not yet been established, and various regulations are also simplified.

Every day, someone would present tasks that survivors need to do to the old man, and everyone would rate them according to the difficulty of the tasks, and write them down in the booklet by hand.Survivors who want to do tasks come directly to Lao Yuan, choose the tasks they can do according to the booklet, and just register before and after doing them.

When Yang Yiqin and the two came over, there was no one in front of the broadcasting room, and it seemed a little deserted.

It's normal, there are not many survivors in the base, and those who are willing to do the task come here during the day.

Lao Yuan is not tall, but he is very strong and strong, his arms are extremely strong, and the beard on his face is obvious.The others were easy to get along with. When they saw Yang Yiqin from a distance, they waved to them and said with a smile, "I recognize you, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, right? Looking closer, they look taller and more handsome. The people under Qian Guowei just now, That’s why I recorded four points for each of you, are you here to see your own points?”

"No, Uncle Yuan." Yang Yiqin said politely, "We are here to accept the task."

"Get the mission?" Old Yuan was puzzled, "You still have to do the mission, save some food for four points, enough for you to eat for two days. But judging by your height, you probably have a lot of food."

Yang Yiqin said truthfully: "When I woke up in the morning and saw that the watchtower outside our base had been repaired, I thought there must be something I could do at night."

After hearing this, the old man treated them better, with a wider smile on his face: "Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took out a pen from the drawer, opened the blank page of the booklet, and wrote a few words with the pen, then handed the booklet to Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin for them to read.

Yang Yiqin took it, dumbfounded: "Write it now?"

Lao Yuan stroked his stubble, and said cheerfully, "It's the current compilation."

I saw a blank page that read impressively——Eliminate the zombies in the No. [-] prison building, one point per point.

It looked like it was a task specially reserved for Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin.

Old Yuan saw that his expressions did not change, he understood that they were not angry, and he believed Qian Guowei's words, and continued: "Actually, tonight, the base is going to deal with the zombies in No. We moved downstairs with the corpses from Building [-], and transported them outside the base. If it was an ordinary survivor, we would definitely not mention this task, and the soldiers would just settle it.”

"But since you have come to ask, I think this task is more suitable for you."

Yang Yiqin said, "But we don't know how to shoot yet."

"It's just that you don't shoot. You don't know. After cleaning up the zombies in other buildings, the base wasted a lot of bullets." Lao Yuan continued, "There is no supply in the base now, and one bullet is missing. It just so happened that there were not many people, so the zombies in Building No. [-] were not killed."

"Today, the higher-ups decided to let the soldiers who are the best in close combat try to use knives to kill zombies, and they will be protected by people with guns, and they will clean up the fish that escaped the net by the way, saving as many bullets as possible.

I heard that you came all the way to the base with bows, arrows and knives, right?Isn't this task just right for you? "

Yang Yiqin asked, "Do you have any requirements?"

The old man said: "There is no requirement, just pay attention to your own safety."

"Then how many zombies have been killed, who will count?" Yang Yiqin asked again, "We must not distract the teammate."

The old Yuan laughed, and said boldly: "It's okay, you know what you know, just report it to me when the time comes. Anyway, the report is too much, and the people on the same team as you can also find out."

Yang Yiqin: "..."

It should be said that I believe them too much.

But when it came to cold weapons, Yang Yiqin remembered that among their supplies, there were still swords and forks that had not been dismantled.

He has the commonly used Miao sword, bow and arrow, and machete, Feng Lin has the ax and the Tang knife that are handy, and Wang Che and the others also keep their own weapons.What was wrapped up in the supplies and not unpacked were more than 30 extra weapons.

So, he asked Lao Yuan: "Do you keep cold weapons like swords in the base?"

The old man wondered: "Sword?"

Yang Yiqin made a gesture: "The kind that can kill zombies, the blade length is basically between 120 cm and [-] cm, and the blade is very sharp."

"Of course." Lao Yuan was suddenly excited, "How many do you have?"

The army's cold weapons are only short knives, and the distance is too short, so they are all tied to sticks.If you can have a ready-made long knife, of course it would be the best.

Yang Yiqin did the math: "I can give the base thirty."

The remaining few weapons are kept as spares, just in case they come in handy.

Xiao Bing was also very happy: "Thirty is a lot, do you run a shop?"

Yang Yiqin said with a smile: "It's just a niche hobby."

"There are few survivors in the base, and we are all looking at the points, and there is no specific form." The old man on the side frowned, and thought for a while, "Why don't we give you fifteen points for a knife?"

What he said was a bit false, and he felt that it was not appropriate to give less and more, and he might have to discuss it with other people in the base.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yiqin shook his head and said, "No points."

The old man was surprised: "No need?"

"Well, there is no need to exchange points." Yang Yiqin smiled, "I have nothing to contribute to the base, only a few knives."

Before coming to the base, he also thought that maybe he could exchange weapons with other survivors for some supplies.Looking at it now, it is better to donate to the base, so that they can play their role more.

Upon hearing this, the old Yuan and the soldier stood up and gave him a military salute.

"Good comrade!"

"You are too kind."

Yang Yiqin felt embarrassed.

"So, since you just came to the base, is there any inconvenience in your life?" Old Yuan still felt that the base was not good at taking the survivors' things for nothing. "I can make some decisions about the internal affairs of the base."

Seeing his insistence, Yang Yiqin thought for a while and said, "...I really have a condition, and I want to mention it to the base."

The old Yuan asked: "What? Let go of it."

"Feng Lin and I are now living in the prison guard's office on the third floor of Cell No. [-]." Yang Yiqin said, "I wonder if there are enough rooms in the base, can we live in that room just for the two of us?"

If there are not enough rooms, they will definitely make concessions.

"This is no problem, the third floor of Cell No. [-], right... If there are enough rooms, I won't give you any more people." The old man habitually stroked his stubble, took his notes, and said, "Go ahead and do the task." , as long as you have contributions and points, when the base expands in the future, I will give you the opportunity to choose a house first."

Yang Yiqin smiled: "Then thank you Uncle Yuan."

well.

The task was also accepted, and the house was also settled.
