poor road [end times]

Mao Xiaoliu watched them for dozens of seconds before realizing—ah, it turned out that the person in front of him was a real person.

The moment he realized it, the whole cat beamed with joy and turned around with excitement.He almost let go of the mouse in his mouth, wanting to jump straight towards Yang Yiqin and hang on him.

At the critical moment, Feng Lin raised his hand and made a gesture, successfully stopping its movement.

Mao Xiaoliu felt aggrieved, bit off the mouse's throat, and threw the mouse into the trash can beside him.It likes to eat mutant mice, and doesn't like ordinary mice, but no matter what kind of mice it is, it can't let them touch humans.

Humans get sick.

Old Yuan explained happily: "A few minutes ago, I saw it swaggering over from the side wall, so I stopped it and asked it to help the broadcasting room catch a mouse. Although the black cat looks proud, it is very helpful. , quickly helped us catch the little mouse."

Yang Yiqin came over and rubbed Mao Xiaoliu's head.

He no longer calls each other "little black cats". The kittens are growing up rapidly and their bodies are expanding day by day.Especially Mao Xiaoliu, who is almost bigger than the cat mother Huahua. If he continues to grow according to this trend, it will not be a dream to catch up with or even surpass the big black cat.

Because of this, he had to teach these kittens not to hang on to him at every turn.

One or two is fine, if the six of them still want to hang up and dangle on an empty place on his body together as before, the weight is second, and he can drag it completely, but the area can probably bury him, and he will There are black and white cat fur everywhere.

"Look, I just let you bang." The old man pretended to complain, "After catching the mouse, everyone wanted to communicate with it, but it just stood on the window sill and gave us a 'mortal' look."

Yang Yiqin rubbed the cat's head and said, "It's good to have more contact, isn't Mao Xiaoer willing to let Uncle Yuan touch it?"

Maoxiaoer is the cat that resembles Huahua the most, and also the cat that is the least shy, the most elegant and friendly.

Even this "closeness" still cannot escape the recognition of life.

"Yeah, the people in our broadcasting room can basically lick it." After chatting about the gossip, Lao Yuan brought up the real thing, "I just saw that the gate of the base was lively for a while, and what did you guys do outside? Right? You can't even cover up the smell of blood on your body."

Yang Yiqin raised his arm and sniffed it, jokingly said: "Fortunately, there was no one in the cafeteria just now. We bought dinner and went to eat elsewhere, otherwise we should have smoked others."

Before eating, they washed and disinfected their hands, but the bloody smell on their clothes was hard to dissipate for a while.

Feng Lin picked up Mao Xiaoliu's nape, put it back on the window sill, then leaned close to Yang Yiqin's nape and sniffed lightly, and said, "You don't have any smell."

Yang Yiqin felt a little itchy and couldn't help laughing: "Really?"

Old Yuan smiled: "That's because you are the same, I have a good nose, and I can tell how many zombies you have killed just by asking. Captain Xiaoqian is fine, he should have been outputting remotely today, right?"

Qian Guowei nodded: "That's right, the two of them helped save more than a dozen people today."

"Look, the word 'again' came out." Lao Yuan looked at Yang Feng and the two, and said with a smile, "Didn't you two say you were going to 'travel' the night before yesterday? It didn't turn out to be very far." I got my hands and feet tied."

Yang Yiqin chuckled, "Continue next time, we still have a chance."

"I also reminded you for a long time. I didn't expect that you would encounter a big incident after going out for a day, which scared the kitten." The old man joked with a familiar tone, "Tell me, what happened to you? Success piqued my curiosity."

"Let me talk about it." Qian Guowei took the initiative to say, "I just want to discuss tasks and points with you."

He succinctly narrated what happened today, and the old Yuan's face became uglier the more he listened.

Even Mao Xiaoliu wrinkled his dark cat face.

The old Yuan pondered: "Even a kitten knows that this kind of thing can't be done. Some people despise other people's lives. What a beast. No wonder the new survivors were not brought to the broadcasting room immediately to learn how to accept the mission. After confirming their Before there is no problem with their health, the base should not let them go out casually—"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a commotion on the other side of the playground.

Everyone turned around and looked at where the sound came from.

I saw a young girl standing in front of the cafeteria, arguing with someone about something. Someone went to maintain the order of the order base. She even accused the person who persuaded the fight. Her voice was so sharp that it could penetrate the sky and clearly spread around the playground. in the ears of all.

Seeing the man's face clearly, Qian Guowei looked serious: "Chen Jia?"

Yang Yiqin affirmed: "It's her."

Qian Guowei couldn't help asking, "Has she always been like this?"

He didn't have much contact with the other party, and he didn't see any aggressive actions from the other party along the way. He thought that she, like other survivors, did not join forces with Zhang Lin and tended to actively come to the base.

Yang Yiqin was thinking about how to explain it, when he heard Feng Lin say, "It's okay, just firmly support Zhang Lin's leadership."

Qian Guowei: "..."

Good, he probably got it.

"What Jia?" Old Yuan asked, "People you know?"

"Today's new survivor, priest Zhang Lin's 'believer', I'll go over to see what's going on."

"Okay, you go, it's not convenient for me to leave."

The old man was in charge of the base's internal affairs, so he naturally couldn't ignore people who were making trouble and disrupting public order.However, it was inconvenient for him to leave the broadcasting room for the time being, so he had to ask Qian Guowei to go quickly to see what was going on.

It is inevitable that there will be troublemakers in the base, especially the survivors who just came to the base - they often think that the base is to lie down and win, and someone will bring them food and daily necessities without doing anything every day, and the army will take turns guarding them 24 hours a day .

Yang Yiqin didn't want to join in the fun, and was about to take Mao Xiaoliu home with Feng Lin, but when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Chen standing beside her anxiously, and the rest of the survivors he rescued also went downstairs and gradually surrounded him .

In this way, he was worried and left directly.

Feng Lin saw what he was thinking and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Okay."

After speaking, he looked down at Mao Xiaoliu on the window sill, wanting it to go home first.But the playful cat Xiaoliu was obviously not willing, it wagged its tail, and its pitiful orange round eyes were filled with requests.

Seeing it was so persistent, Yang Yiqin let it go.

The two and one cat followed behind Qian Guowei.

Qian Guowei walked up to the gathered crowd and asked sharply, "What happened?"

Hearing his inquiry, Li Bokai, the person in charge of the cafeteria, stood up immediately and explained, "They are the survivors who just came to the base..."

"I know this, we escorted them to the base." Qian Guowei interrupted the person in charge, "Just tell me, what did you have a dispute about?"

Li Bokai briefly described the cause and effect: "These survivors queued up in the temporary hospital for a full-body examination, and the staff assigned them dormitories, helped them carry their supplies, and then brought them to the cafeteria to receive today's dinner. See After dinner, the little girl suddenly cried out emotionally, saying that she was going back to her home and that the base was a concentration camp... We tried to appease her emotions, but she became even more agitated."

Hearing this, the others first set their sights on the dinner that everyone had received.

Three freshly baked white-faced big meat buns per person are the main food, and the side dishes are a bag of kelp shreds and a bag of enoki mushroom pickles, as well as a bottle of yogurt and a fresh apple.It happened that a batch of broiler chickens in the base farm had matured. In order to take care of these "sick" survivors, Li Bokai even gave each of them a piece of chicken.

For a girl, these food portions are enough.

In the last days, food supplies are the most scarce.

Although after several months of hard work, the base successfully occupied the granary in Beishi and saved some emergency supplies, but that does not mean that various supplies can be given to everyone for free without planning. use up the resources of the base.

That's why there is a form of tasks - creating and spending at the same time.

If you think it’s not enough to eat, you can ask Li Bokai for two more buns.For the survivors who have just entered the base, they are very tolerant and will not be entangled with one or two buns.

Qian Guowei didn't think there was anything wrong with these foods, so he didn't find the point that made Chen Jia collapse.

But Chen Jia immediately explained the reason himself.

She looked at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin angrily, and scolded them loudly: "You two liars! You lied to us that the base was good, but in the end you asked us to come together as laborers! Twelve people live in one room here, and everyone Crowding together to go to the toilet and shower; I heard that you have to do weird tasks to get points, in exchange for better accommodation conditions; and even food is not provided for free, today this is the only free meal!"

It turned out that the problem was here.

However, Chen Jia is not the first person to question this matter, and there have been survivors with the same thoughts before.

Seeing that she seemed to be just an adult, Qian Guowei speculated that she might be so well protected by her mother that she behaved like this.So he softened his tone and persuaded: "Maintaining the normal operation of the base is not that simple, every survivor..."

"Stop talking! I don't understand!" Chen Jia screamed loudly, "You are lying!"

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she yelled out of breath, "Chen Jia, shut up!"

In the past, as long as Mrs. Chen called Chen Jia by her name, she would obediently shut up.But now, instead of shutting up, she blushed even more: "Mom, are you my real mother? Why do you listen to them, why don't you take my feelings into consideration? This is not a place for people to stay at all!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen raised her arm, about to slap her.

Qian Guowei stopped Mrs. Chen in time.

"That's not right," he said with a serious expression.

"It's not right." Yang Yiqin said, "Her character shouldn't be so extreme."

Although Chen Jia has some minor flaws in her personality, she loves her mother very much.She still remembered that when a group of zombies suddenly attacked downstairs in the shopping mall, her first thought was to pull Mrs. Chen to escape.

Now this behavior is too unlike her.

Mao Xiaoliu, who was following them, also seemed to notice something strange.It wagged its tail and approached Chen Jia, sniffed its nose and sniffed the other person's body, and then sneezed hard twice.

Yang Yiqin looked down at it: "What's wrong?"

Mao Xiaoliu shook the cat's head vigorously, showing a very unpleasant expression, then turned over, with his limbs swaying in the sky, performing a "poisoned suspended animation".

Qian Guowei asked, "What does this mean?"

"I can't see it." Yang Yiqin shook his head, "But even when it encounters zombies, it rarely shows this expression, unless it is facing something particularly annoying."

This is enough.

It confirmed their guess just now.

Mrs. Chen on the side had already burst into tears: "Xiao Jia was a little bit coquettish before, but I'm not good at this, because I spoiled her too much. But she has her own persistence, and she can listen to other people's explanations. So right and wrong, so noisy. Didn’t you say, what did Sun Tongming eat for us? I doubt it, and I suspect it is because of this reason..."

After hearing this, Qian Guowei looked at the staff leading the survivors and asked, "Did Dr. Wang say how long it will take for the results of the experience to come out?"

The staff replied: "It will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest."

Yang Yiqin reminded: "This kind of thing probably cannot just look at the results of ordinary physical examinations."

Qian Guowei looked around at the other survivors and found that Chen Jia's situation did not appear in them, so he made a decision: "Without further delay, let Dr. Liang free up his staff as soon as possible, and take Chen Jia for testing first." Immediately, He looked at Mrs. Chen again, "You can accompany her."

If this symptom occurs, a special experimental team must be established in advance according to General Zheng's original plan.If necessary, they would conduct harsh interrogation and torture on Sun Tongming to extract useful facts from him.

Mrs. Chen nodded again and again: "Okay, thank you."

Qian Guowei took a step forward, preparing to subdue the emotional Chen Jia first.

However, just as he took two steps closer to Chen Jia, the other party suddenly screamed loudly.Her eyes were red and she yelled "indecent" words, which made Qian Guowei in a dilemma.

"Let me do it."

At this time, a girl took the initiative to stand up.

She was the girl who said before that all her relatives had passed away, she had no one to rely on, no worries, and she went to the base just to save people.

Yang Yiqin remembered her name, Lin Mengjia.

Lin Mengjia said: "I am a girl of the same age and an ordinary person. She can't say anything about me."

After finishing speaking, she raised her foot and approached Chen Jia, ignoring the harsh shouts of the other party, and clamped him down three or two times.It seems that she is also a dominant mutant, and she has learned a lot of useful skills in the days of surviving alone in the last days.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Qian Guowei said, "You can go with us too."

Hearing the words, the other survivors became worried about their bodies.

The time they followed Zhang Lin varied, but the one with the shortest time also received food from Zhang Lin for a month.Who knows how many instant noodle bags were pierced and injected with unknown liquid?

As a result, others also asked, "Captain, what about us?"

Qian Guowei replied: "Don't worry, each of you will be checked. In addition to the only results, the temporary hospital will also conduct a comprehensive analysis of your physical condition in time. But there are not enough scientific researchers, even Chen Jia Now in the past, it was impossible to accept the inspection immediately, let alone take care of each of you at one time. You first tell the base the time you followed Zhang Lin, and we will notify you in chronological order to receive the inspection. "

Hearing this, everyone was very grateful and kept nodding their heads.

Qian Guowei continued to remind everyone: "However, there is one thing to be aware of. It may not be possible to check the results quickly. During this period, I hope you can stay in the dormitory as much as possible and follow the arrangements of the staff."

"We got it!"

After arranging all this, Qian Guowei bid farewell to everyone and hurried to the laboratory again.

Tonight, the researchers may not have time to rest.

After they left, staff took the remaining survivors back to the dormitory.

Li Bokai finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to look at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, with an ugly smile: "I was shocked, it seems that I am still not used to making trouble."

Yang Yiqin said, "It's better not to get used to this kind of thing."

"That's right." Li Bokai laughed at himself, "The moment she broke out, I thought that the food in the cafeteria was so outrageous, and I was about to apologize."

"I think it's pretty good. Although it's a free meal, there are meat, side dishes, and staple food." Yang Yiqin smiled, "Compared to when we first entered the base, the base is obviously much richer. "

Feng Lin suggested blankly: "Next time you meet such a person, just go hungry for three days."

"That's impossible, the base will not allow people to do such a thing." Li Bokai shook his head with a smile, and then explained, "But they did catch up with the good times. Some time ago, the army often went to the farther suburbs to harvest farmland. Vegetables, harvested corn, and captured a lot of livestock, which were raised in farms.”

Yang Yiqin bent his lips: "This is a good thing."

"Of course it's a good thing. Now the chickens, ducks, and geese in the base can produce a lot of eggs every day, and the pigs and sheep have also given birth to new cubs. General Zheng said that if the flock of chickens and ducks further breeds and expands, the cubs will be raised." We fenced off the open space by the stream, built a row of chicken coops to raise chickens and ducks, and distributed an egg to all survivors for free every other day to supplement protein."

Yang Yiqin nodded suddenly.

He had chatted with Feng Lin before, the corn and fruit in the west area of ​​the base had been harvested, and there were still large fields waiting to be harvested outside the base.If we don't harvest in time now, we will be harmed by wild animals in a while.

So when they left the base and went to various rural villages to collect supplies, every time they encountered ripe fruits and vegetables, they would take the trouble to pick them for a long time, and the piles on the roof of the car were more than one meter high.After returning to the base, they will keep some of them to eat, and the rest will be exchanged for the base according to the points. By the way, they will tell the base the location and growth status of the farmland.

It seems that the base has always taken this matter to heart.

"Also—" Li Bokai continued, "In terms of breeding, I have to thank your cats."

Yang Yiqin was puzzled: "Our cat?"

Behind the cafeteria is the breeding area. Since the wall of the breeding area was built, the base invited survivors who were old farmers and farmers to take care of it.Because they completely touched the blind spot of his and Feng Lin's knowledge, the two of them had never seen the scene inside.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqin couldn't help lowering his head, and looked at the cute cat Xiaoliu at his feet.

When mentioning this matter, Li Bokai still found it very interesting, and described it vividly: "The animals in the breeding area have always been obedient and never ran around. We always thought that they did not recognize their birth and were used to being kept in captivity by humans. As a result, yesterday A sow gave birth to a piglet and went crazy, and when everyone was at a loss what to do, your big black and white cat ran over and barked a few times at the sow, and the sow immediately became quiet."

Yang Yiqin squatted down and rubbed Mao Xiaoliu's head: "You can too?"

Mao Xiaoliu nodded.

Yang Yiqin praised with a smile: "As expected of the 'guardian' of the base, it's really majestic."

Mao Xiaoliu was instantly elated, rolling over with excitement.

Seeing this, Li Bokai also wanted to touch it. Just as he knelt down and stretched out his hand, Mao Xiaoliu immediately turned over and ran away with agility, leaving him with a noble back.He had no choice but to laugh a few times to hide his embarrassment: "If there are no accidents, we don't have to be nervous about the meat and vegetables this winter."

Feng Lin who was on the side asked: "There is a large amount of grain shipped from outside, how should we store it?"

"The big guy is digging the cellar. Before winter comes, dig as many as you can." Li Bokai said with a smile, "You often take the task of going out to the base. You may not know that after the great cause of building the wall, our base is now The main task is to dig the cellar."

Feng Lin nodded.

Instead, he looked at Yang Yiqin beside him: "Shall we dig one in the yard too?"

The amount of supplies they get every day is huge, but in order to prevent the vegetables and meat from spoiling, they only keep the amount that can be eaten within a week.Yang Yiqin likes fresh vegetables very much, and they must save more for eating in winter.

"The yard is so big, it's already very cramped for growing vegetables." Yang Yiqin was thoughtful, "If it's just the two of us living together, instead of digging a cellar, it's better to get two freezers in the corner of the yard."

Li Bokai made a suggestion: "I think it is possible. It happens that the weather is getting colder and colder now. When the temperature drops sharply in October and November, it will be several degrees below zero every day. There will be a natural ice cellar outside."

"Indeed." Recalling the past, Yang Yiqin's eyes softened, "When I was a child in my hometown for the New Year, my grandpa would hang the meat on the outdoor rack directly. After a while, the wind will freeze it very hard, so you don't have to worry about it. It will break."

Li Bokai also laughed and said, "That's right, it's the same way in my hometown."

Feng Lin has no such childhood memories.

Watching the harmonious atmosphere when they were chatting, thinking that he couldn't reminisce about the past with Yang Yiqin, and there was no intersection and overlap with his past, which made him feel unspeakably depressed.

"Let's find two freezers and put them by the courtyard wall." Feng Lin said in a low voice, interrupting the conversation between the two of them, "Then make another shelf that you've seen before."

"Yes." Li Bokai said politely, "If you need help, feel free to ask."

Feng Lin rejected his proposal: "No need, we can do these things ourselves." After finishing speaking, he paused, and then emphasized, "—two people."

Li Bokai didn't hear anything wrong, he looked down at the time: "Let's not chat, I should go back, there is still work to be done in the cafeteria."

Feng Lin nodded: "Yes."

Yang Yiqin also nodded with a smile: "Let's talk next time."

After Li Bokai left, Yang Yiqin's insightful eyes turned to Feng Lin, and he blinked slowly.Just now he noticed the abnormality of the other party, even if it was only for a very short moment.

Under his clear line of sight, Feng Lin felt a tingling itch rushing from his back to his skull.

"what happened?"

he asks.

"Nothing." Yang Yiqin shook his head, "I was just guessing what you were thinking just now."

Feng Lin's throat moved slightly.

Yang Yiqin joked with a smile: "Could it be that you miss me?"

Feng Lin's ears became hot.

"Feel sorry."

Yang Yiqin: "..."

No need to apologize.

The author has something to say:

These two days jj is so busy, it takes a few minutes to send out every new chapter, and I can’t see orz when I save the manuscript
