poor road [end times]

In the next few days, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin did not directly participate in Sun Tongming's affairs.

Experiments and research, which are more professional things, can only be entrusted to professional scientific researchers, and they only provide a few samples occasionally.The two of them spent most of their time and energy on going out to search for supplies, saving more survivors while hoarding food and supplies.

Although they did not directly participate in the research, every time the two entered and exited the base, they could often see Qian Guowei and others hurrying, carrying various experimental instruments they were not familiar with to the base.Occasionally, when reporting the task situation to Lao Yuan, Lao Yuan would also take the initiative to chat with them about the situation in the laboratory.

It is said that Sun Tongming's mouth was pried open, and Academician Chen was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot when he learned everything.Fortunately, Dr. Liang had already made preparations and asked Wang Yumin to stand by in advance to recuperate Academician Chen's body in time.

As for Chen Jia and his party...

I don't know if the laboratory has found anything, but they seem to be in a state of being restricted from acting alone all the time, and their basic necessities are carried out in a specific area, and they are almost never seen in the base.

With the help of the Sun Tongming incident, the base first let out a little rumor among the survivors, and then picked a suitable time to prepare to announce the existence of special active cells according to the plan.

One night, after confirming that everyone had returned to the base, the old Yuan announced the matter through the radio.

【Respected survivors, I am the general manager of the base mission, Yuan Jianyuan. 】

[An important announcement is now issued - at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, the base will hold a temporary morning meeting to announce the important discoveries of scientists' experimental research.This discovery is about everyone. Survivors, please be sure to participate on time and don't be late. 】

[In addition, after the morning meeting, the base will distribute a free breakfast to everyone. 】

Hearing that the base was about to announce the scientists' important discovery, the survivors had mixed feelings.

Everyone expects that the scientists have made important research results, but they are also afraid that the results will be disappointing. Humans have no chance of defeating the zombie virus, and they will live in fear and caution forever.

Before you know it, time has entered October.

The weather is getting colder, and the leaves of the fruit trees outside the high prison walls can be seen starting to turn yellow.The cool autumn wind blew by, and the golden fallen leaves flew into the base with the wind, and piled up layer after layer by the wall.

Most of the survivors braved the cold wind and stood on the playground early.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were also among them.

When Wang Che saw them, he immediately squeezed over from the crowd and greeted them.

"Brother Yang! Feng Lin! Long time no see!"

Yang Yiqin turned around, bent his lips and greeted: "Long time no see, why didn't I see you when I went to the temporary hospital last time?"

"I'm out of the base!" Wang Che stood opposite the two of them and explained, "Since you and Captain Qian took everyone out of the base once, more and more people are willing to leave the base and go to nearby villages. Materials have been collected, but not every time someone takes the lead.”

Yang Yiqin understood: "So you took the lead?"

"Yes." Wang Che nodded excitedly, showing the pride of finally becoming a teacher, "Just when the two of you are busy, I, Li Qiao, and Uncle Tang are all in charge of the morning training. After a long time, Everyone got to know us well, and when they heard that we were your teammates, they expressed that they wanted us to take them out."

"Yes, there is progress." Yang Yiqin praised, "They are all team leaders."

Before, he had included Wang Che and others in the list of the team, so when he went to "explore" the farther countryside some time ago, he often asked them to act together.These few people didn't form a team very much recently, mainly because he and Feng Lin were going to spend the night outside, and they promised Lao Yuan that they wouldn't let other people take risks with them.

Although the few people no longer performed tasks together recently, because of their previous joint actions, Wang Che and the others gradually became familiar with the route to the distant village, and they were very suitable as the team leader.

The farmers in the village like to stockpile a large amount of grain, and there are many fields around. Every household has a lot of living materials, which is not as barren as the villages near the base.Even if the base sent troops there, they would not have transported all the supplies. It was just suitable for survivors to hunt for treasures and collect supplies for the winter.

"Isn't it? I'm Brother Yang's big... No, I'm an ordinary disciple." Wang Che said with a smile, "Having said that, since more and more people are willing to go out, the weekly gatherings in the community are very lively. No way, there are people who trade for anything. Even those who dare not leave the base, they will first use their points to the canteen to exchange for rice, and then use the rice to exchange other supplies with others."

"Really?" Yang Yiqin was curious, "Feng Lin and I haven't attended a rally recently."

Wang Che strongly recommends: "If you have a chance, you must go and see it!"

Feng Lin said, "There should be no chance."

If Lao Yuan hadn't told them in advance that the human mutation would be announced this morning, he and Yang Yiqin would still be running around by now.The more they ran, the more they could feel a sense of urgency—the sense of urgency to contact Yang's father and Yang's mother.

The situation outside is too complicated, with all kinds of chaos emerging one after another.

If there is no more news, they will really have to consider driving back to their hometown.

Not long after, Li Qiao, Huang Ying, and Liao Wei also found them, and they got together to chat about the current situation.The other survivors also gathered together in groups of three or four, guessing what news they would announce later.

Seven o'clock sharp.

The old man's voice sounded on the radio.

[Dear survivors, good morning. 】

[Welcome everyone to the morning meeting at the base. What we want to announce today is the latest research results of the scientists. Next, General Zheng and Academician Chen will come forward to give you a detailed explanation. 】

After speaking, he handed the megaphone to General Zheng and Academician Chen.

The two old men stood at the front of the playground and looked around at the survivors who were waiting to see through the playground. Since they were a little far away, they could still clearly see the worry and fear on each survivor's face.

General Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Thank you everyone for taking the time... Is it too official?"

All of a sudden, the people below let out good-natured laughter, and the originally serious atmosphere eased a little.

"As for the recent incident, everyone must have heard a little bit of wind." General Zheng continued, "We are here today to announce the research conclusions that scientists have discovered so far."

"Since the outbreak of the end of the world, human beings have encountered drastic changes in climate, rampant zombies, animal mutations... all kinds of unexpected crises. At present, even our own bodies seem to have some changes. In order to find out the reasons for the changes , Mr. Chen and a group of scientific researchers have been doing experiments day and night, and have conducted a lot of research and analysis on the mutations in humans."

Hearing this, everyone on the playground held their breath.

Except for the sound mixed with electric current that came out through the loudspeaker, there was only the sound of wind in the entire prison.

General Zheng said with a serious face and a solemn tone: "In the end, the scientists finally determined that after the first round of immunity to the zombie virus, each person has undergone a 'mutation', and different cells have been produced in the body. These cells are quietly changing the way our bodies function."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar below.

Some people couldn't help but raised their hands and shouted: "But General Zheng, I don't think I'm any different? My sister is the same as before!"

The rest of the people also opened their mouths——

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my body..."

"My strength has increased, but isn't that because I work hard every day?"

"I think it's the benefits of exercise. I was strong before the end of the world. It was only when I lay flat that I slowly became useless. Now I'm back to my former peak!"

"..."

Everyone was talking about the recent changes. Many people said that their physical condition had improved, but they felt that this was probably due to exercise and hard work.After all, after doing physical work for a long time, and insisting on morning exercises for a long time, it is normal for the body to become stronger.

General Zheng had already anticipated the reaction of the crowd, and reminded aloud: "Please calm down first, don't speculate out of thin air, and believe in the results of scientists' experimental research."

Everyone gradually quieted down, and the playground was as quiet as the sound of a needle being dropped.

General Zheng solemnly said: "On behalf of the base, I promise everyone that no matter what happens, the base will always put the health and safety of the survivors as the first priority, and will never give up on anyone, regardless of men, women, or children."

As soon as the words fell, there was roaring applause.

After what they saw and felt in the last few months, they naturally believed what General Zheng said.

"Therefore, I hope that no matter what difficulties may arise in the future, everyone will not panic or be afraid. Every survivor in the last days is the hope of mankind and the fire left by civilization. We Chinese people must work together and unite as one. Let's get through this difficult time together and continue our civilization!"

"That's all I want to say. As for the specifics of the research, Academician Chen Lao will give you a detailed explanation."

After speaking, General Zheng handed the loudspeaker to Academician Chen.

Yang Yiqin found that Academician Chen seemed to have aged a lot after not seeing him for a few days.The wrinkles and ravines under his eyes are much deeper, his hair is completely gray, and there is not a single black hair in sight, and the fatigue in his eyes is hard to dispel.

It seems that what happened to Sun Tongming hit him hard.

Academician Chen took the loudspeaker, first said "thank you" to General Zheng, then looked at everyone on the playground, and said slowly, "As General Zheng said, don't panic..."

Then, he explained the special active cells to everyone in the simplest and most understandable words.

Someone raised their hand.

Academician Chen looked kindly: "Please tell me."

The man asked: "If this mutation is like exercise, and the dominant owner becomes stronger and stronger, then don't we need to be afraid?"

"There is no need to be afraid. According to our research, special active cells are harmless to the human body." Academician Chen explained in detail as much as possible. Instead, the change is not in physical fitness, but in speeding up the wound healing of survivors—of course, this characteristic also varies from person to person.”

"Then how do you know who has the most mutation? Make yourself a wound?"

"No, of course not! Please take good care of your body and don't make jokes about this kind of thing." Academician Chen said with a serious expression, "The purpose of calling everyone here today is to inform everyone to undergo a full physical examination and mutation detection. "

This matter still needs to be arranged by General Zheng, and Academician Chen handed the loudspeaker to the other party again.

After taking over, General Zheng announced: "Starting today, every survivor will be checked. In order to maintain the order of the base, we will send people to notify everyone in order of floors. Those who have received the notification, please line up to the temporary hospital building Come down for inspection."

The crowd below immediately broke out into strong cheers.

After the morning meeting, some soldiers distributed free breakfast to everyone present.

The person who shared breakfast with Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin was an old acquaintance, Li Jiang.

Li Jiang handed over the bag, smiled at the two of them, and said, "If it wasn't for this morning meeting, I wouldn't have seen you two. Why don't you go back to the base every day? Be careful outside."

Yang Yiqin chuckled, "Thank you for your concern."

Feng Lin nodded: "Well, thank you."

Li Jiang handed Wang Che and others breakfast: "You guys too, if you are taking survivors out of the base, remember not to go too far, and don't come back too late, otherwise Captain Qian will mutter ' Why haven't they come back, will they be in danger?"

Wang Che scratched his head: "Understood."

Huang Ying pinched Li Qiao's waist: "Did you hear that, I told you not to come back so late."

"Oh, take it easy, Xiao Huang!" Li Qiao jumped up, "It's so itchy!"

Huang Ying smiled: "Who makes you always feel that you are awesome."

She is now in charge of the internal affairs of the office full-time, and has never left the base, so she is often worried about Li Qiao who always runs out.

After reminding a few of them, Li Jiang continued to distribute breakfast to others.Yang Yiqin looked at Li Jiang's back, and found that the other party remembered the faces of many people, and seemed to be able to say a few words to anyone he saw, and told him to be careful.

General Zheng and Academician Chen are discussing the situation in the laboratory in detail.

The old Yuan came forward to remind the survivors: "The base will be tested in the order of the prison first and then the community. The community will be tested in the order of building one and one unit to twelve buildings and four units. Those who are in the front remember not to leave the base. Those who stay here first, the others can leave after receiving their breakfast, just wait for the notification from the base."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin have already been tested, so they can go directly to their own affairs without worrying about missing the physical examination.

Knowing this, Wang Che asked, "Brother Yang, Feng Lin, where are you going next?"

Feng Lin replied, "It's nearby."

"We won't go far today." Yang Yiqin explained, "So I'm going to visit the scenic spot."

Wang Che sighed: "It's a pity that I can't be with you. The temporary hospital has to bear the burden of physical examination, draw blood for the survivors of the whole base, and then send the blood samples to the laboratory. For this matter, Captain Qian from the outside The hospital has collected a lot of needles, iodine water, cotton swabs... I have been carrying medical supplies every night. Starting today, I can’t go out during the day, so I have to help my uncle.”

Yang Yiqin patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. If you need help, you can tell us."

"That's right." Li Qiao also said, "Although we are not doctors, it's okay to move things."

"It's okay, it's not a big problem, we've already finished it." Wang Che said with a smile, "I can't bother you about drawing blood later, even if you know how to do it, there won't be so much room in the temporary hospital."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Then go ahead."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, he waved goodbye to the few of them, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the office building.After Wang Che left, Li Qiao wanted to say something to Yang Yiqin, when Jia Shu hurriedly walked towards them.

Finding that the other party's target seemed to be him, Yang Yiqin turned around and asked, "What happened, so anxious?"

Jia Shu stopped and said succinctly, "The Monkey King from the scenic spot is here."

"Now?" Yang Yiqin was puzzled, "Feng Lin and I just wanted to go to the scenic spot."

Seeing that Jia Shu's face was not nervous, and thinking it was not an urgent matter, Li Qiao joked, "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here soon, this Monkey King will have a heart-to-heart with Senior Yang, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cool breeze.

But there was obviously no wind just now.

Huang Ying pinched her waist again, and laughed and scolded affectionately: "Don't be joking, you are the only one who talks too much."

Li Qiao immediately realized the reason, and immediately changed his words: "I'm talking nonsense, nonsense! The Monkey King must have something to report, so what happened?"

Jia Shu explained: "It seems that the elephant in the scenic spot is about to give birth."

Suddenly, Yang Yiqin remembered this matter.

He and Feng Lin looked at each other, and said with emotion: "Is it finally going to be born?"

Feng Lin nodded: "Then go and have a look now."

"Go now." Jia Shu said, "I think the Monkey King is quite anxious."

"It is estimated that the mother elephant gave birth, and the elephant herd became irritable and xenophobic, which scared the monkeys to come to deliver the letter." Yang Yiqin speculated, "Let's go and see the situation. I heard that some survivors also went to the scenic spot to watch the excitement. Now, please help to warn them, it is best not to enter the scenic spot again in the near future."

The mentioning and fighting power of elephants is amazing. Once they fall into sensitivity and impatience, even if they don't want to hurt humans, they will inevitably not accidentally hurt them.Whether it is for elephants or for humans, keeping them separated is a necessary choice.

Jia Shu asked with some concern, "Does the base need to send a helicopter there?"

"No need for now, I'm afraid the sound of the helicopter will irritate the mother elephant." Yang Yiqin said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the kittens to supervise."

Hearing that he was going to dispatch the kittens, Jia Shu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was a feasible solution.They don't want to hurt the elephant herd, but if the other party is out of control and riots suddenly break out, fighting is inevitable.

At this time, Lao Yuan saw them gathered together and came over to ask about the situation.

Jia Shukai told him about the Monkey King and the herd of elephants.

"You guys go quickly." The old man urged, "If you need support, just activate the intercom equipment directly. There are people waiting at the base at any time."

Feng Lin took out the car keys.

"I'm going to drive."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Okay, I'll go find the cat."

Finding a cat is easy. Recently, Mao Xiaoliu and Maoxiao Wu often compete in the fruit forest to catch mice and sparrows.

Today's weather is fine, the autumn air is crisp and cloudless.

Feng Lin drove all the way to the gate of the scenic spot, and the two of them got out of the car.The monkey king squatting on the roof also jumped out of the car and rushed into the base, looking very worried about his monkey group.

Maoxiao Wu and Maoxiao Liu are not in a hurry, they have been competing in various competitions recently, and now they are trying to figure out who is more like Huahua.

Therefore, the two cats not only lowered their car postures, but also lowered their momentum before they acted—they first slowly licked their respective cat paws, then smoothed the hair on their heads, and then raised their proud cat heads. Walking towards the scenic spot with artificial steps.

Feng Lin disliked them walking slowly, so he stretched out his hand to grab Yang Yiqin's wrist, and pulled him past the kittens to the scenic spot.

Seeing this, Mao Xiaowu and Mao Xiaoliu's postures were no longer concave, and they hurriedly followed behind Yang Yiqin, meowing aggrievedly.

"Stop learning." Yang Yiqin looked at them helplessly, "You don't look like Huahua at all."

These two cats are the most playful among the six kittens. They have no time to be idle every day. Let alone an elegant cat mother, it would be nice to be like a cold and brave cat father.

Mao Xiaowu and Mao Xiaoliu were immediately dejected.

"What does it matter if you don't have the same temperament? You are so cute." Yang Yiqin comforted, "No matter what your personality is, as long as you have the aura that can calm down other animals, you will be the children of Huahua and Dahei."

Hearing this, the two kittens regained their confidence and ran into the scenic spot with their heads held high.

——They must keep an eye on the elephant herd today!

Watching their haughty backs, Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to Feng Lin, and said with a smile, "Look, it's fine if you can't coax them."

Feng Lin asserted: "It's pretty stupid."

"It's trust." Yang Yiqin shook his head, "It makes me feel a little guilty."

"I trust you too, so don't feel guilty."

Yang Yiqin laughed.

"Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"

"You don't do that kind of thing."

Feng Lin's eyes were determined.

He knew what Yang Yiqin was like.

What's more, even if Yang Yiqin really felt that he was cheated, he would be willing to do so.

Yang Yiqin held his hand instead, and with a smile in his eyes, he purposely sighed in a regretful tone: "If this is the case, then I can't lie to you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Feng Lin to answer, he turned back and dragged the other party to the depths of the scenic spot.

The breath of autumn swept through the mountains and forests of the scenic spot.

There used to be wild fruit trees in the scenic area, and the wild fruits matured one after another in autumn and became food for monkeys and elephants.The elephants have a big appetite, and they basically eat immediately, occasionally gnawing on tree trunks and leaves, but the monkeys store up all their food, and even dry some wild fruits into dried fruits.

The reason why Yang Yiqin knew this was that when he looked up at the direction where the monkeys lived, he could see rows of wild fruits drying outside their residence.

In addition, their houses have been restored by the monkeys, and the parts trampled by the elephants are blocked with stones and mud.When repairing the walls, they even did not forget to install windows and doors that provide light and shelter from the wind, and then covered a large number of branches and leaves with stones and soil, which not only has a wild beauty, but also keeps warm and insulated.

It has to be amazing.

Compared with monkeys, elephants have a rough life.

Mutated elephants are not prepared to live here permanently, and in addition to their huge size, they are resistant to heat and cold.So they just dug a shallow hole at the foot of the mountain for the elephant that gave birth.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin approached the herd of elephants.

After seeing the two people and the two cats, the head elephant only shook its trunk to confirm their identities, then turned to pay attention to the situation of the mother elephant.

The author has something to say:
