poor road [end times]

After chatting, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin bid farewell to Lao Yuan.

They parked their off-road vehicles in the prison, and then each rode a bicycle and drove towards the direction of the community.

It was already time for dinner and gatherings, and there were not many people on the wasteland, so the figures of the two riding bicycles were particularly conspicuous.Leaving aside the apocalypse itself, the scenery here is very good, with mountains and forests and streams, riding in it is like an outing.

This reminded Yang Yiqin that they had passed by the west side of the base during the day.

After the army's uninterrupted and unrelenting rescue operations, the base now has thousands of survivors, including people from all walks of life.Through everyone's joint efforts, the orchards and the earth walls of the fields in the west area have been basically completed, and it is estimated that they will be able to move in soon.

Of course, occupancy is not the most critical issue right now.

There are more than enough rooms now, and there are still many vacant floors.The most important thing is that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the corn in the fields and the fruits in the orchard can be harvested.

Regardless of the harvest, it will be the best Mid-Autumn Festival gift this year.

Yang Yiqin rode his bicycle with one hand, pointed to the short hill in the distance, and chatted with Feng Lin: "The expansion of the western area is about to be completed. Wang Che said that Dr. Liang and Academician Chen are going to move to the back hill, but until now we still I didn't see the villa area, which made people a little curious."

"Go and see?" Feng Lin said, "Climb over the wall tonight."

Although the nearby dangerous factors have been cleaned up repeatedly, and the base is also vigilant against the dangers outside the wall every day, for most survivors, climbing the wall to the back mountain area in the middle of the night is an act of death.

But for the two of them, it couldn't be easier.

Yang Yiqin smiled: "Over the wall, rebellious middle school students? Forget it."

"Actually, the villas are just very ordinary communities. You can visit them after Academician Chen moves in." After being rejected, Feng Lin explained carefully, "After turning over two short hills, there is a relatively flat area. , the villa area is built there. There is a road ahead, which is specially built for the villas, so the road is not too spacious."

Yang Yiqin didn't ask him in detail how he knew this, but just nodded: "In this case, it is a bit difficult to carry the experimental equipment."

Instead of climbing two mountains, it is better to go around from the outside road.

While chatting, the two arrived at the community by bicycle, and then saw the market on Huatan Fountain Square at a glance.

When listening to Huang Ying's introduction, Yang Yiqin thought that the rally would not be very lively, and most people should squat quietly in front of their booths.However, in fact, everyone had great enthusiasm for the rally, and countless people gathered in the square with happy expressions, shuttling back and forth among the crowd.

It may be that I am holding back, it is rare to have a lively and popular event.

Not everyone has so many idle supplies, most people only have a few things that can be exchanged, and some even join in the fun with empty hands.These people don't need any booths. They can stand on the side of the road and wait for "customers" with the materials in their hands.

Everyone excitedly shuttled through the assembly, and occasionally someone even yelled a few words.

On the periphery of the square, the base sent people with guns to manage order and maintain the order of the survivor transaction.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin parked their bicycles aside for the time being, and they walked in from the entrance of the assembly, which instantly became the center of excitement.Because most people here know them, and even learn self-defense skills with them.

After more than ten days, more than half of the survivors in the base joined the morning exercise team.

Although there are people who are absent and late every day, the number of regular students is kept at 500.According to Wang Che, some people can't get up at six o'clock in the morning, and they will ask other people for advice during breakfast time, and review and train together at night.

Fortunately, Yang Yiqin's lung capacity is large enough, otherwise he would not be able to convey the main points of the fighting skills clearly.

Someone greeted the two of them and asked curiously, "Why are you here too? Are you planning to sell something? Can I join in the fun?"

They all knew that the two of them were different from ordinary people. Everyone came to the base for safety and to stop fighting zombies, but these two young people went outside the base every day.So everyone didn't think that these two people would be short of anything, and they speculated that they must have come to buy things, or they were just here to join in the fun.

"We are also joining in the fun, let's see the situation first." Yang Yiqin asked with a smile, "What kind of things are you all exchanging?"

"I have everything, but you should not be short of it. I traded for lighters anyway." Then, the man took out a lighter from his pocket, "I used to like to collect lighters. After the apocalypse broke out, I thought the source of the fire must be It was very important, so I brought all the lighters and oil cans to the base. There are also some matches for collection, which cost a lot of money when I bought them before, but they are not worth much now.”

Yang Yiqin immediately became interested.

"How do you exchange a lighter and an oil tank?"

He and Feng Lin also had lighters, but they didn't have the supply of refueling cans for lighters, and a few more lighters wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Do you need it?" The man's eyes lit up, "Is food okay?"

"can."

"That set of lighters and oil cans... six bags of instant noodles or cans?"

Everyone has no experience in bartering, and the value of materials in the last days is very different from that before the last days.

A lighter is a sustainable material. Its value lies only in its ability to ignite itself. No matter how beautiful the pattern is, there is no price bonus.Unlike food and medical supplies, some people are willing to pay good conditions for better taste and better efficacy.

The exchange terms he proposed are reasonable, Yang Yiqin nodded: "Yes, but I don't have supplies with me right now, and it will take a while before I can bring them to you."

"No problem, I'll wait for you." The man scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's still a bit troublesome to exchange things. It would be great if it could be changed to points."

"That will probably take a long time."

"really."

Let points be used as currency to circulate among survivors. At present, the base does not agree with this form of equivalent exchange, because it is more troublesome to deal with, and the base does not have the time to do this for the time being.

In the following time, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin walked around the crowd like Taobao, and saw a lot of strange trading items—someone even took out a box of condoms to trade, and the asking price was very high. High, but was quickly replaced.

In the end, the two only changed the lighter and the fuel tank.

This gathering is a very novel experience, but it should not last long.

Because after a period of time, if the survivors still haven't gone out to the base to continuously obtain new materials and resources, then when the materials in the hands of everyone are almost exchanged, this barter transaction will be completely over.

When everyone's safety, food and housing have been satisfied, one day they will need other material and spiritual sustenance.Taking this matter as a premise, maybe it won't be long before someone wants to try to find supplies around the base like them.

The reason why Lao Yuan and others proposed to hold the rally may also have this aspect in mind.

Qian Guowei once said that the survivors of the base hope to have the courage to go out, and hope that Yang and Feng can become a good benchmark. The current situation is also when their two "benchmarks" play a role. When carrying food and trading with people, everyone showed envy and admiration in their eyes.

When preparing to leave, the two met Tang Yongke by chance.

Tang Yongke stopped them: "You are also here to participate in the exchange meeting? Did you change something?"

"This." Yang Yiqin raised the lighter and oil tank in Yang's hand, "Where is Uncle Tang, what do you want to change?"

Tang Yongke smiled naively when he heard the words, and said, "I want to see if there are any cigarettes. I am an old smoker. I haven't smoked for a long time, and I have no energy."

"Cigarettes? We have them. Uncle Tang should have told me earlier, so I could bring them to you earlier." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "After all, it is fate to call you 'Uncle Tang'."

"Do you even have cigarettes?" Tang Yongke's eyes flashed with excitement, "Don't give it to me for free. What do you need? I'll exchange it with you."

"It's really not necessary." Yang Yiqin spoke very sincerely, "Feng Lin and I don't smoke, and Wang Che and the others don't have this habit either. Things get moldy when left there."

Tang Yongke still said seriously: "No, if I take it for nothing, I can't ask for your cigarettes. Don't be afraid that I will have a burden. I decided to go out with my friends tomorrow, and I won't be short of supplies in the future."

Yang Yiqin thought for a while and said, "How about this, can Uncle Tang come to the wasteland in the morning to help train the survivors?"

"Training survivors?"

Before Tang Yongke came to the base, the base had just informed about the training, and he was not at the base during that period of time, and he was not familiar with other survivors, so he didn't know much about it.

"Yes." Yang Yiqin told him the specific situation, and then continued, "Now that there are more and more people, I think it is necessary to divide into several teams for training, and the efficiency should not be too low. Uncle Tang used to be a member of the martial arts team. , must have experience in training people, more professional than me, hope to get your help."

Yang Yiqin was already training Wang Che and Li Qiao, but today he saw a few good seedlings and planned to train them as well.But there will only be more and more people participating in the training in the future, and he and Feng Lin will not be able to manage it sooner or later.

Tang Yongke is a professional senior, so he should be more suitable for this job than them.

"What's the big deal?" Tang Yongke smiled, "Even if you don't give me cigarettes, I'm still willing to ask me to help you."

"Then I will return to you what Uncle Tang just said."

"Hahaha, forget it, I can't say no to you, I will take this matter."

Seeing his compromise, Yang Yiqin said with a smile: "If Uncle Tang is not busy, you can go to the place where Feng Lin and I live to get cigarettes."

"Is it convenient for me to go?"

"No inconvenience."

The three of them walked to the deepest part of the community together.

After entering the room, Yang Yiqin asked a little curiously: "Uncle Tang said that he will leave the base tomorrow, what is he planning to do? Is it also for the mission?"

"No." Tang Yongke shook his head, "We want to try and see if we can find some baby products."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin immediately understood his intentions.

The conditions of the base are indeed not suitable for newborns. As the first baby born in the base, the child of Tang Yongke's deceased friend deserves much attention.Not only the medical staff of Dr. Wang, but also Academician Chen and Dr. Liang paid special attention to the baby's condition.

When the army goes out to perform missions, if they see items that can be used by babies, they will definitely bring them back.But Tang Yongke didn't want to rely on the base all the time, and was also worried about the birth and growth of the baby, so he decided to go out to find related supplies by himself.

"There is no such thing in the nearby villages, so we need to go to the city." Yang Yiqin took out the cigarette and said with a smile, "If you need help, you can come to us. We also have the idea of ​​going to the city recently."

Feng Lin added: "The supplies in the nearby villages are almost only furniture and decorations."

"Thank you, I accept your kindness." Tang Yongke nodded, "If necessary, I will ask you for help."

After finishing speaking, he took the few packs of cigarettes handed over by Yang Yiqin, bid them farewell politely, and went to do other things.

After Tang Yongke left, Yang Yiqin put the lighter on the table and turned to look at the empty living room.Looking out from the living room, weeds and shrubs are growing wildly in the yard, and the greenery is swaying in the cool evening breeze.

"Should we move back some furniture?"

Yang Yiqin asked.

"Okay." Feng Lin thought for a while, "There are clean and complete sofas in the village on the other side of the scenic spot, the bookcase in a certain house in the first village to the east is good, and the second village..."

Feng Lin talked a lot and put forward a lot of reasonable opinions.

Yang Yiqin was just mentioning it casually, but he didn't expect him to take it so seriously. He couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, and the end of his eyes seemed to be filled with bright light.

Feng Lin, who had been looking at him, was startled for a moment, and unexpectedly stammered: "What... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yang Yiqin smiled and said directly, "It's just a sudden emotion——I really like you."

Feng Lin: "..."

"Don't blush." ​​Yang Yiqin touched Feng Lin's flushed neck with the back of his hand, and before he could react, rolled up his sleeves and turned to the kitchen, "Eat dinner, have dinner."

Feng Lin touched the touched place.

The time has entered September, and the evening air is a bit cool. Yang Yiqin's fingers are also slightly cool. When they touch the skin, they should be cold, but Feng Lin not only didn't feel the temperature drop, but was actually not teased by it. His actions made it even hotter.

"Feng Lin."

Yang Yiqin called out softly, and Feng Lin immediately came back to his senses, organized his thoughts, and hurried into the kitchen.

After eating, the two took advantage of the moonlight to clean up all the weeds in the yard.

The yard is fifty or sixty square meters, not a small area.

Just after clearing the weeds, Huahua's family turned over from the outside of the yard.When the kittens saw the clean yard, they immediately became happy and ran around chasing and playing around in the yard.

Seeing this, Yang Yiqin felt that he could create a place for them to play in the yard in the future.If you want to grow vegetables in the yard, remind them not to damage the plants in the vegetable field.

The little black cat ran over in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yiqin knelt down and rubbed the little black cat's head, "Are you acting like a baby?"

The little black cat gave a "meow".

As it grows older, although it is getting bigger and bigger, it is also getting fatter and fatter. For the time being, it can't see the fierce and agile shadow of Dahei. to it.

After dealing with the pulled weeds, Yang Yiqin played with them for a while, then went back to sleep.

Tomorrow will be another busy day.

I thought it would be a dreamless night, but at three o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Neither Yang Yiqin nor Feng Lin were heavy sleepers, so they woke up immediately when there was any movement.

Feng Lin sat up, casually put on his coat, picked up the ax by the way, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he walked out of the bedroom aggressively.

Yang Yiqin also sat up and got out of bed in his pajamas.

When he walked into the living room, he found that Huahua and the big black cat in the second bedroom were also awake. The two big cats were poking their heads out from the door of the second bedroom. The cat's bright eyes were particularly sharp in the dark night.Especially Dahei, whose body is integrated with the night, only his eyes are piercing, like a dormant beast in the night, which is daunting.

Yang Yiqin waved his hands at them, then turned to look in the direction of the entrance.

The person standing at the door turned out to be Jia Shu's subordinates.

Realizing that something important was happening, Yang Yiqin walked quickly to the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Lin said briefly: "The Monkey King is here."

Yang Yiqin frowned: "...this time?"

The visitor explained anxiously: "Based on the gesture decoding you set for the monkey group, we found that the meaning of the monkey king is that there is a big danger coming tonight, which not only threatens the monkey group, but also threatens the base. After learning the situation Dui Jia immediately sent someone to find Dui Qian, and she asked me to inform you as well, saying that I might need your help."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at each other.

"Wait a minute, let's change clothes and come right away."

"Okay, then please, I'll wait for you!"

The two quickly changed their clothes and prepared to leave with the man.

At this moment, Huahua and Big Black Cat seemed to realize something, and followed behind them silently.Yang Yiqin glanced at them, and found that Huahua's eyes were extremely determined to follow, so he nodded towards it, expressing that he would not hinder its actions.

When the group of them was rushing to the prison, they happened to see two helicopters slowly rising in the sky, and the two bright lights broke through the blockade of the night sky and flew towards the scenic spot.

There are occasional emergency missions at the base at night, and there are often helicopters and bombers circling the sky, so the survivors in the community did not find anything unusual.But the survivors of the prison got close, and soon realized that this time was not the same as before, so they opened the windows one after another, looking out worriedly because they didn't know.

When the three people and the two cats arrived at the gate of the prison, Qian Guowei and others were already waiting.

"Where's the Monkey King?"

Yang Yiqin asked.

"It has already left." Qian Guowei replied, "It seems to be very worried about its own monkey group. After expressing its meaning clearly, it left without stopping."

Jia Shu also came over with a serious expression: "Although I don't know what happened yet, the base needs to thank you for cultivating the monkeys. Otherwise, we will have to communicate with the Monkey King for a long time tonight to understand each other's meaning."

After Yang Yiqin and the Monkey King told Lao Yuan the secret signal and hand gesture, Lao Yuan immediately passed it on to Jia Shu and others.Although it was late, Jia Shu still immediately found out all the people involved in guarding the gate, and asked them to write down these things as soon as possible, so that next time the monkey group came to notify something, they could immediately interpret the other party's meaning , so that you won't be as blind as before.

Fortunately, they are so disciplined and pay attention to speed, so they can react in time now.

"I think everyone is ready." Yang Yiqin asked her, "Shall we go to the scenic spot now?"

Jia Shu said, "Wait for a while, and wait for the helicopters on the front line to give feedback."

The distance from the base to the scenic spot is within the range of the military walkie-talkie.Not long after, an anxious voice came from the intercoms of Jia Shu and Qian Guowei at the same time: "Report! Six mutated elephants came to the scenic spot, and they broke through the gate of the scenic spot and rushed in!"

mutant elephant?

Almost as soon as they heard these four words, Yang Yiqin and the others immediately thought of the elephants in Canglian Hospital.Their destructive power is first-class, and they can easily dent the walls and buildings of the hospital. After the monkeys lost the wind in the melee, they fled here with the base team.

If it was really them... Yang Yiqin and the others looked solemn when they thought of the other party's size.

The earthen walls built at the base simply couldn't withstand a few hits from them.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were tugged.

"Xiao Lin, go and report the situation to General Zheng first, and the others will follow me to the scenic spot to check the situation." Qian Guowei said with deep eyes, "If the elephants behave abnormally, immediately let go of the fire and wipe them out on the spot, and never let them approach Base step."

"Roger that!"

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin also boarded the chariot.

The convoy was about to leave the base, Huahua and the big black cat took advantage of the opportunity and jumped onto the roof of the car.

Qian Guowei: "This..."

Yang Yiqin said: "Their old homes are also in the scenic spot, so maybe they can help."

"Okay." Qian Guowei didn't doubt it, and decided, "Then let them follow."

When the fully armed convoy arrived at the scenic square, a group of monkeys could be seen anxiously standing on the eaves, waving to the helicopter in the sky, hoping that the helicopter could help them regain their territory.When they saw Yang Yiqin's figure, they became even more excited in an instant, as if they had found their backbone, they ran towards him.

Looking in from the entrance of the scenic spot, you can see elephants shuttling through it.Looking at the physique and tusks, they really look like the elephants in Cang Lien Hospital.

Yang Yiqin asked: "Did the base stop paying attention to the whereabouts of the elephants?"

"I have been paying attention. After the rescue of Academician Chen last time, we sent people to track the situation of the elephants every day." Qian Guowei explained, "The six elephants lived in the hospital later, and they seemed to be on the defensive after they evolved. , Zombies can't bite or scratch their flesh at all, and naturally they can't infect them."

"Seeing that they are not aggressive, they are living in the hospital in style, and they just step on two zombies to play when they have nothing to do. There is no intention of leaving, and even seeing the convoy approaching the hospital to obtain medical supplies will not respond. The base believes that they It is harmless to humans, so I pressed the idea of ​​eradication and expulsion, and only went to see them once during the day."

Unexpectedly, the elephant herd came to them a sudden attack and moved suddenly in the middle of the night.

Huahua was originally standing steadily on the roof of the car, but after listening to Qian Guowei's words, it suddenly jumped off the roof, walked slowly to Yang Yiqin's feet, and bit his trouser leg.The big black cat also jumped out of the car, and followed closely behind Huahua's buttocks like a guard in the middle of the night.

Yang Yiqin looked down at Huahua.

Huahua "meowed" a few times.

"Captain Qian." Yang Yiqin raised his head and said, "Huahua and I will go into the scenic spot."

Feng Lin immediately said, "I'll go too."

The big black cat licked its paw.

The author has something to say:
