poor road [end times]

At the invitation of Yang Yiqin, Li Qiao and Huang Ying decided to come here for dinner.

When eating hot pot, the more people there are, the more lively it will be.

Liao Wei, Wang Che and even Tang Yongke were all invited. If Qian Guowei's team hadn't been strictly disciplined, Yang Yiqin would have invited them to have dinner as well.

The vegetables were freshly picked from the backyard, the meat was brought by Li Qiao and Wang Che from their own homes, and the ingredients were collected by Tang Yongke.Everyone processed the ingredients together, prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and put all the food on the table.

The lighting emergency lights are hung on the wall of the living room, and the small charcoal-burning stove in the middle is burning quietly, dancing with orange-red light.Not long after, the pork rib soup in the pot was gurgling, and the living room was overflowing with the fragrance of the soup.

Mao Xiaoliu took a look at the rooster and saw that it was squatting peacefully in the nest to incubate its eggs, so he went out to look for food in peace.The mountains and forests in spring are full of good things, and it wants to enjoy today's dinner.

After finishing the work at hand, Li Qiao and the others couldn't help being curious. They went to the side of the chicken coop to watch the rooster hatch its eggs, and were amazed at how it sat upright.

Yang Yiqin fed the puppy with warm milk, put it on the blanket on the sofa, and then walked to the dining table.

When everything was ready, everyone began to eat hot pot and chat.

Everyone is very curious about the experiences of Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin——

I want to know how they fly a helicopter and travel hundreds of kilometers back to their hometown; I want to know what other safe areas look like and how the survivors inside are now; I also want to know the zombie wave that sent Beishi base to reinforce more than [-] people , just how terrifying...

Everyone had nothing else to do at night, so Yang Yiqin gave them detailed answers one by one.

Feng Lin occasionally added some details.

Several people listened very seriously, showing amazed expressions from time to time.

"I knew that your experience must be very exciting." Tang Yongke said with a smile, "Although I have not met your father formally, but I have a close relationship with him, and now I know that he is very good, so I am relieved .”

Wang Che sighed: "That's great, I also want to see my parents..."

Everyone was silent.

No news is good news.

Yang Yiqin was the first to break the silence: "Feng Lin and I came back this time mainly to cooperate with the work of the laboratory and try our best to develop a vaccine that can end the doomsday. By that time, communications, roads, and electricity will be restored one after another, and you can too." Get in touch with your family."

"So strong." Wang Che was dumbfounded, "Is there anything that must be done by you?"

Yang Yiqin shook his head: "I don't know yet."

Li Qiao asked suspiciously, "Did Captain Qian not tell you?"

"No." Yang Yiqin explained, "He doesn't know the specifics either."

Hearing this, Li Qiao hesitated to speak: "Then... you must pay attention to safety, I feel that things that can only be solved by two seniors are often not easy."

"Thank you for your concern." Yang Yiqin bent his eyes, "Feng Lin and I will pay attention."

Feng Lin nodded: "That's right."

Next, everyone talked about personal and base changes.

Regarding the changes in the base, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin had already heard a lot from Lao Yuan, but from the standpoint of ordinary survivors, they might be a little surprised by the views and angles.

No matter which angle you look at, the base is definitely developing in a good direction.

"Speaking of which, the senior may not know yet." Li Qiao tugged at his sleeve, showed off the armband pinned on it, and smiled triumphantly, "I am now the most powerful team leader of the survivor team!"

Huang Ying shook her head and laughed, and turned her sleeves back: "Okay, why are you chattering again?"

Yang Yiqin looked at the armband: "Actually, I noticed it just now. I thought it was part of your outfit today, but it has another origin?"

"What am I dressing up for?" Li Qiao squeezed the muscles on his arms, "I will definitely exercise more when I have time, as long as I can build muscles, I will do it, because of the natural body fat difference, it is too difficult for us girls to build muscles gone."

Huang Ying pinched her waist: "Strength is there. It doesn't matter if you have muscles or not. Don't pretend to me again. People's physiques are different. You can cut it with your current appearance." A zombie head?"

"Little Huang, spare your life!" Li Qiao was so tickled that he hid several times, and smiled embarrassedly, "You are right!"

Liao Wei had long been accustomed to seeing them get along, and when they were noisy and completely neglected to eat, he took out all the mutton slices in the pot.

This time, the pot exploded completely.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks, grabbed the remaining meat in the pot one after another, and laughed into a ball while eating - not because they wanted to eat meat, but mainly because the atmosphere was just right, and everyone wanted to relax and play for a while.

After a while of excitement, Yang Yiqin continued to ask with a smile: "You haven't given me an answer, what is the meaning of that armband?"

Li Qiao wiped his mouth and explained: "After the two seniors went back, we were the only ones left in our team, and Xiao Huang and the others pushed me to be the temporary captain. Even when it was the coldest last year, the base The survivors did not give up training, and worked hard every day. In the beginning of spring this year, after Captain Qian and the others ruled out the nearby dangers, many survivors spontaneously formed teams and went out to carry out missions."

Huang Ying continued: "Survivor teams can perform missions to earn points, and they can also collect supplies and exchange bases for points. This armband is awarded to the most powerful team. It is a kind of reward. It doesn't mean much, but Qiaoqiao likes it very much. Because she was the first squad leader to get the badge."

Yang Yiqin held up the Coke to Li Qiao, his eyebrows curved.

"congratulations."

"Thank you Senior Yang!" Li Qiao quickly clinked a glass of Coke with him, and what he said was funny, "I will continue to work hard and never disappoint your expectations!"

At this time, Liao Wei asked: "Since Brother Yang and Brother Feng are back, are you still the captain?"

Li Qiao was stunned.

Huang Ying: "I don't think it's a big problem."

"Of course, I have other things to do, and I may not have time to act with you for the time being." Yang Yiqin shook his head, jokingly said, "Hey, it's hard to find a successor like Li Qiao, and let me retreat to the second line. Take a good rest."

Everyone was amused.

Halfway through their meal, Huahua's family returned from predation—except for Mao Xiaoliu, who went out late.

They skilfully turned in from the back wall, and all stopped when they passed the yard.

Huahua looked at the newly added dog house and chicken coop, raised her paws and walked slowly over. The big black cat and five other kittens stood in the middle of the courtyard, motionless.Huahua first sniffed the smell of the wooden house, and then the smell of the chicken coop, a cold light flashed in the yellow eyes of the cat.

Stared at by six cats, the rooster trembled in fright.

Everyone who was chatting in the living room fell silent and looked at the cat and rooster in the yard together.

Yang Yiqin stood up.

The rooster was already so frightened that its whole body became stiff. If it persisted in this way, it might faint from fright, and even hurt the goose eggs that were hatching below.

"Huahua." Yang Yiqin walked over and called softly, "Let it go."

Huahua turned her head when she heard the sound.

Its eyes fell on Yang Yiqin's face, its orange cat pupils were full of trust and dependence, and it meowed.

Seeing this, several other kittens also ran to Yang Yiqin's feet, rubbed their heads, claws and back against Yang Yiqin's calf, and barked coquettishly from time to time.

The big black cat stood aside with its head held high, keeping its facial expression the whole time.

Yang Yiqin explained: "The rooster is helping us incubate the eggs. Don't scare it all the time, otherwise Mao Xiaoliu will never wait for its little brother to make a sound."

Huahua nodded obediently, and the other kittens also shook their heads.None of them objected, and the big black cat, whose family status was quite obvious, naturally had no room to express his opinion.

Afterwards, Huahua glanced at the people in the living room, and crawled in through the window of the second bedroom with a group of cats behind her.

At 09:30 in the evening, dinner ends.

Everyone cleaned up the table together and left here one after another.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Yang Yiqin stretched.

"End of day."

Feng Lin walked over and hugged him from behind.

Since the early hours of this morning, they have had almost no free time. First, they flew all the way back to Beishi from Xinzhong City. After returning, they have been busy non-stop, until now they have time to breathe.

The spring evening breeze was cool and pleasant, and it blew into the living room from the open door of the living room, blowing the broken hair on their foreheads.The blanket on the sofa also swayed gently in the wind, and the puppy lazily turned over and continued to sleep.

Feng Lin's hug got tighter.

Yang Yiqin looked at him sideways, and asked with a smile, "Are you sleeping?"

"En." Feng Lin buried his head in Yang Yiqin's neck, "Are you tired?"

"I'm fine. You're tired. Flying a helicopter is exhausting. As a result, we didn't rest in the afternoon. Thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, Yang Yiqin raised his hand and touched Feng Lin's head that was resting on his shoulder.

It's nice to touch.

"I'm fine too."

"Then—" Yang Yiqin raised his eyebrows, "Are we still sleeping?"

Feng Lin raised his head suspiciously, and looked into his bright and clear eyes.

Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Yang Yiqin curled his mouth and said with a smile, "I thought you would want to do something else."

Feng Lin: "...others?"

Yang Yiqin's eyes are generous and magnanimous, especially clear——

"Like sleeping in another sense."

Feng Lin swallowed.

They did not make out for a while before they left the village, mostly kisses and hugs.Because the crises came one after another, the energy of the two of them was all consumed in dealing with various things. After returning home, they often had a full meal and fell asleep immediately.

Thinking of this, depressive and crazy fluctuations appeared in the depths of Feng Lin's eyes.

Yang Yiqin originally wanted to make a joke, but after seeing Feng Lin's eyes, he realized that he had been holding back for a long time, so he waited for his answer with great interest.

Anyway, he still has strength.

However, contrary to Yang Yiqin's expectations, Feng Lin had no intention of continuing.

"Rest first." Feng Lin's face was extremely serious, and his tone was firm, "This matter... will be discussed later."

After finishing speaking, as if afraid of regretting himself, he directly picked up Yang Yiqin and carried him all the way back to the master bedroom with no expression on his face.He hugged Yang Yiqin and fell on the freshly made bed in the master bedroom, and then covered their bodies with quilts.

Afterwards, Feng Lin stretched out his hand and patted Yang Yiqin's back rhythmically, his movements were extremely stiff.

"Qinqin, sleep."

"..."

The lights in the main room were dim, and the two lay on the bed, staring at each other silently for a while.

After a while, Yang Yiqin finally spoke slowly: "We have been busy all day, not only sweated, but also tainted with the smell of hot pot, we have to take a bath before going to bed."

And the puppy is still on the sofa, so it needs to be moved to the kennel in the corner of the master bedroom.

Feng Lin's slap on the back stopped suddenly.

After a moment of silence, he sat up straight.

"I'll take you to the shower."

"..."

Yang Yiqin laughed.

He was a 1.8-meter-five adult man, and Feng Lin didn't feel that it was against harmony when he hugged him.

In the end, of course, Yang Yiqin didn't let Feng Lin carry him to take a bath. The two of them took a bath in the main guard and the second guard respectively, threw the changed clothes into the laundry basket, and put on a new set of clean and refreshing pajamas. They embraced each other and fell asleep.

It was not until late at night that Mao Xiaoliu returned home.

The next morning.

Vaguely, Yang Yiqin seemed to hear the sound of a rooster crowing, the sound was ethereal, distant and small.

At first, he thought it was the rooster crowing at the farm, which made the sound so faint and ethereal.However, after he got up and opened the curtains of the master bedroom, he saw a rooster climbed in from the wall outside the backyard, walked all the way into the chicken coop, and nestled firmly on the goose egg.

Yang Yiqin: "..."

Feng Lin also got out of bed, walked to his side, and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." Yang Yiqin felt quite funny, "It's just that after Mao Xiaoliu warned the rooster not to disturb the people, the rooster simply ran to the back hill to crow."

Feng Lin: "It's not a big problem."

Yang Yiqin nodded: "Indeed, I just ran outside to make a sound, let it go."

The long-distance crowing does not disturb the survivors in the community, and since they all use different species of livestock to incubate their eggs, they don't have to worry about the rooster leaving the goose egg for a minute or two.

After all, it's not good to hold back.

The only thing that surprised Yang Yiqin was that this rooster was able to fly over a wall three or four meters high—it seems that Mao Xiaoliu chose it because it has something unusual in itself.

After the two had breakfast, they rode bicycles to the prison in the center, preparing to go to the laboratory.

They haven't forgotten the reason why they came back. Although Lao Yuan said that things in the laboratory are not in a hurry, they can't stay in such a daze forever. They must know a little bit about the thoughts of Academician Chen and Dr. Be mentally prepared.

The road leading to the laboratory is still at the same location - the back hill next to the temporary hospital.

When the two came here, they found that there were far more than the two of them who wanted to go to the experimental area.As early as just now, Yang Yiqin saw many ordinary survivors gathered here from a distance, queuing up to register something, and thought that they were all going to the temporary hospital for medical treatment.

I didn't expect that they were all going to the laboratory.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at each other, and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.

They didn't know the person responsible for registration and maintaining order, and they seemed to be new faces who came to the base after they left.

I saw that the other party was carefully checking the identity cards of each survivor, and then searched all the pockets of the survivors' bodies to make sure that they were not carrying dangerous items before letting them enter the trail behind the mountain.

Looking from here to the direction of the back mountain, you can see the road from the prison to the villa community, which is still the narrow and long road surrounded by barbed wire.In order to prevent animals or zombies from jumping into the path from the treetops, the forests on both sides of the barbed wire fence are empty, and the newly planned orchard park in the back mountain also bypasses the barbed wire fence.

The only change in the path is that two new layers of barbed wire fences were built to act as a dangerous buffer zone.

Although they didn't know the reason for queuing, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin respected the order of the base very much, and when they saw this, they consciously queued at the end of the line.When the people in front finished checking and it was finally their turn, they walked up to the person in charge and took out the cards that could prove their respective identities.

The person in charge took the card.

After carefully comparing the list, he was stunned and asked, "Aren't you the ones who made the serum of the zombie virus?"

"Making serum?" Yang Yiqin was thoughtful, "Let's find Dr. Liang and Academician Chen."

The person in charge showed a embarrassed look: "This... But the laboratory is not for anyone who wants to enter. You are not on the list, so I can't let you in."

Feng Lin asked: "How can I be on the list?"

Because no one was queuing at the back, the person in charge carefully explained: "If you are willing, you can sign up with the base. After the base selects according to your ability and character, you will be notified."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin still didn't know much about it.

Before last winter, people took turns guarding the path leading to the villa area, but the two survivors who guarded the gate knew Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin, and they would let them pass whenever they saw them.

Therefore, they did not consider the possibility of being stopped.

Yang Yiqin asked, "Are you the only one on duty?"

"There are others." The person in charge said, "The number of survivors entering and exiting the experimental area has increased sharply recently, and the pressure on the gatekeepers has also increased. I was actually a new recruit a few days ago. There were only two people in charge of guarding the gate. .”

Yang Yiqin: "How soon will the next person come?"

The person in charge glanced at the time: "We still have to wait for two hours before it is the turn of the next shift."

Yang Yiqin shook his head secretly.

It seems that they came by accident.

Adhering to the mentality that everything has come, Yang Yiqin decided to ask clearly about the production of serum.He looked at the survivors who were walking towards the depths of the path, and said politely, "Excuse me, when did the base start to let ordinary people help make serum?"

"Don't you know about the production of serum?" The person in charge looked surprised, "Did you just come to our base?"

Yang Yiqin murmured: "...that's it."

A few months passed, and they were already half strangers to this place.

Hearing this, the person in charge gave them a detailed explanation——

"Now that the zombies outside have started to mutate, our base has decided to send a batch of serum to safe areas all over the country, so that everyone can have a guarantee. However, the number of scientific researchers is small, and there are many responsibilities on their shoulders. Even if all the serum from the whole winter of last year was taken out, it would not be enough to distribute to safe areas across the country."

"So we started to recruit credible people, and let them make a certain step of serum production separately, so as to speed up the production of serum. This work has high points and is meaningful, and many people are rushing to do it. Those people you just met , In fact, it is a person who goes to the laboratory for training. The security level of the laboratory is very high, and every time someone goes to the laboratory, we must conduct a full-body inspection on that person."

Feng Lin asked: "After the training, do the survivors make serum in the laboratory?"

"Conditions are limited, so that's all we can do for the time being." Speaking of this, the person in charge suddenly changed the subject, put up a thumbs up and said with a smile, "But the base is really good, and it is working hard to transform the prison factory recently. After the transformation is completed, it will definitely It can be mass-produced in factories."

Yang Yiqin was stunned.

"So that's the case, thank you."

The person in charge quickly waved his hand: "You're welcome!"

After getting a general understanding of the current situation, Yang Yiqin turned his gaze to Feng Lin beside him, and suggested, "Otherwise, let's ask Uncle Yuan for a pass or something?"

Feng Lin nodded: "I think it's okay."

After speaking, the two were ready to return to the broadcasting room.

At this moment, Qian Guowei hurried over from the playground.

The person in charge knew Qian Guowei and said hello, "Good morning, Captain Qian."

Qian Guowei nodded: "Good morning, thank you for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Yang Feng and the two of them, slapped them on the shoulder hard, and said with a laugh: "I knew you couldn't be idle! Sure enough, even if no one notified you, you would still be on your own the next day." I ran to the laboratory to see Academician Chen."

Their physical fitness is excellent, even if they are patted on the shoulder by Qian Guowei so hard, they can still remain motionless.

Yang Yiqin also smiled: "Captain Qian, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you very much."

"Come on." Qian Guowei joked, "How can you miss me? Even if you return to the Beishi base, you don't even have the idea of ​​coming to see me."

Yang Yiqin pretended to be helpless: "Hey, there is no way, the timing is a bit unfortunate."

Feng Lin concluded: "We are very busy."

Qian Guowei smiled and shook his head.

The person in charge asked curiously, "Captain Qian knows them?"

Qian Guowei introduced: "You came to Beishi base later, so you don't know them two. They are the first batch of survivors who fled to Beishi base in the early days of the end of the world, and they are also celebrities in our base. Last winter, these two people I drove a helicopter back to my hometown, and I just came back yesterday."

Hearing this, the person in charge showed an envious expression.

He also wanted to go home.

"If you want to know about them, you can just arrest people in the base and ask them. People who have stayed for a long time will basically know." Qian Guowei continued, "Also, if the two of them want to go to the experimental area in the future, you can directly Just let it go."

The person in charge asked: "Is there no need to search the body?"

"No need." Qian Guowei said casually, "If they want to attack someone, it will be too late before you know."
