How to survive in the wasteland of human cubs

Ten minutes later, Feng Chen and Yan Bubu were sitting in a modified van, and a middle-aged couple sat opposite him nervously.

Feng Chen looked young and handsome, but exuded an indifference that rejected others all over his body. He was obviously sitting in a leisurely posture, but there was an invisible pressure that made them sit in a well-behaved manner consciously.

After introducing himself, the husband explained: "We came from Central City and wanted to go to Junya City. Before we left, we made preparations and spent a lot of money to refit this tracked vehicle and bought a Lishi on the black market. Obviously calculated that this Lishi is enough for us to go back to Junya City, but there was a blizzard on the road, and we stayed in the car for half a month. Because of heating, when the blizzard stopped, when we walked here, we found Li There are not enough stones. Fortunately, my wife found that this building seems to be occupied by people, and there is no snow on the windows..."

When he was talking, Yan Bubu kept staring at the couple.

But even if they were looked at by him like this, the two of them didn't feel uncomfortable, just like being sized up by a curious child, there was only curiosity in their eyes.

His wife gave him a friendly smile.

Yan Bubu also smiled back, and looked away embarrassedly.

"Sir, your brother is really good-looking." The wife said compliments to Feng Chen, but her tone was sincere.

Feng Chen was noncommittal, just said: "I'll give you half a Lishi, enough for your car to reach Junya City. As for food, there are wild rabbits on the Haiyun Mountain ahead, just hunt them yourself."

He wasn't going to give them food.

The two couples can get here from the central city, and they can survive the blizzard. It is not difficult to hunt a mutant.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

It is very difficult to buy Lishi on the black market, the couple just want Feng Chen to give them a foothold, and then slowly figure out a way.Hearing that they could actually get Lishi, this was an unexpected surprise that they didn't even dare to think about.

The couple couldn't stop thanking them, and the wife even took out a butterfly brooch inlaid with gemstones from her body, and was about to stuff it into Yan Bubu's hand.

"I really don't have any good things. I only have this brooch, which was dug out from the ruins of my home after the earthquake. Don't hold it against me, give it to my younger brother to play with."

Yan Bubu withdrew his hand quickly: "No need, no need."

Feng Chen also said: "We don't need these."

Seeing that the two were determined, the wife had no choice but to put away the gem brooch, so Feng Chen took Yan Bubu out of the car and said, "I'll go back and get Lishi, you go and wait outside the building alone."

"Yes, I'll go, I'll go." The husband hurriedly got out of the car.

Feng Chen returned to the house and saw Yan Bubu was still staring at the man outside the window, so he asked lightly: "Aren't you planning to come back?"

"Ah? Come back, come back." Yan Bubu turned into the room.

Feng Chen went to the electrical room and took out a Lishi from the Lishi bucket.

He dragged this bucket of Lishi out of the underground settlement. Although it has been supplying the building's energy consumption for nine years, it hasn't consumed much.

He could give the couple a whole Lishi, but he didn't intend to do that, he just cut the Lishi, picked up half and walked to the window.

"Even if there is another blizzard on the road, this Lishi is enough for you to return to Junya City."

The man was a little apprehensive at first, afraid that Feng Chen was just talking, but when he saw that he actually handed him half a Lishi, he was so excited that he couldn't complete his words.

"Thank you, thank you, sir, if you go to Junya City in the future, you must remember to look for me. My address is... Well, where is the address now, but Junya City has a resettlement site, just report my name at the resettlement site. No no no, I have arrived in Junya City, when I settle down, I will definitely come back to thank you, I must thank you in person, I must."

"You don't need to come back and thank you." A faint mockery flashed in Feng Chen's eyes, "I don't need your thanks for helping you, it's just that if you don't help, if something happens to you, my brother will probably be asleep for a long time. Don't feel it."

"Then, thank you brother, thank you brother, no, thank you both." The man didn't care about Feng Chen's attitude, he just kept bowing and thanking him incoherently.

Feng Chen handed him the half Lishi, stopped when he was about to close the window, and asked a question hesitantly: "How is the central city?"

Over the years, he never thought about what the outside world has become, nor did he think about those people who passed by, he just guarded this empty city with Yan Bubu at ease.He just wanted the two of them to live like this forever, calm but peaceful.

But he still asked this question after all.

"Central City? Hey, that's it." The man sighed, "Although the ground is full of zombies, I can't get to the bottom anyway."

"Ground, ground floor?"

The man reacted: "You probably haven't been to the central city since the earthquake, right? After the central city was rebuilt, it is different from before. Because there are too many zombies, the new central city can only be built in the air." The man Pointing to the top of his head with his finger, "It is more than ten meters away from the ground, and there are all zombies below, probably 10,000+."

"Why are there so many zombies?" Feng Chen was shocked.

"The central city has a large population. After the earthquake, several resettlement sites were established. As a result, accidents always occurred, and many people turned into zombies. Survivors from other cities also came over one after another, and the number of zombies increased. Fortunately It took several years to finally rebuild the city, which is still suspended in the air and can be separated from the zombies on the ground."

Although the man only briefly introduced a few words, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy and heaviness behind these words.

But Feng Chen's focus was not here, he thought of another question, his expression became serious, "Is there anyone going to become a zombie now?"

"Changes, why don't they stay the same? Every day." The man smiled wryly, "Everyone lives in fear. When they go out, they are worried that the people they meet will still greet you with their front feet, and they will pounce on you with their back feet. Even if you stay at home , and I don’t know when bad luck will end for myself or my family. Anyway, let’s just live day by day.”

The man wiped off the frost on his face, and looked around: "My wife and I are from Junya City. I thought that one day we might become zombies. Why don't we go back to our hometown and invite a team of mercenaries to send us out?" It took a month of walking to get here. The map shows that your place is Haiyun City, Junya City is worse than Haiyun City, and there is at least one settlement left..."

He didn't ask how Feng Chen and the two survived.Now everyone has sad and difficult experiences, and they are no longer curious about other people's affairs, and don't want to inquire about them.

"Is there no way to prevent ordinary people from turning into zombies? Didn't the Western Union Army? The entire central city was not developed?" Feng Chen asked.

The man shook his head: "No, there has been no effective way."

Feng Chen asked: "Then do you know Major General Lin Fen of the Western Union Army?"

"Major General Lin Fen? I haven't heard that there is such a person in the Western Union Army."

"never heard of that?"

Seeing Feng Chen's serious expression, the man couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "I'm just an ordinary person, and the generals I know are those who appeared on TV. I don't know which generals there are in the Western Union Army. Maybe there is this Major General Lin Fen, but I have never heard of it.”

Feng Chen didn't say anything more, the man waited for a while, then took the half Lishi, and went back to the car with gratitude.

Feng Chen closed the window, but stood there without moving. He didn't recover until Heishi and Binunu appeared outside the window.

The black lion skillfully flicked the icicles from his mane in the tunnel.Binunu ran wildly on the snow all afternoon, vented his excess energy, and was no longer irritable, and was very calm.

It just knocked away Feng Chen who was blocking the window, and lay down on the sofa on the fifth floor without looking sideways.

Feng Chen returned to the sixth floor and saw Yan Bubu was still standing at the window looking out.Hearing Feng Chen's footsteps, he said without turning his head: "They are about to leave, the car moved... ah! It stopped... ah, it moved again."

At night, the bedside lamp casts a layer of soft light on the room.Feng Chen lay on the bed with his hands folded behind his head, quietly looking at the ceiling.

The door connecting the two bedrooms was opened, and Yan Bubu walked in wearing pajamas and holding a pillow.

He arranged the two pillows side by side, climbed into the bed and lay down on his side, resting his head on Feng Chen's shoulder, and adjusted a comfortable posture.

"Brother, what's it like outside Haiyun City?" Yan Bubu scratched Feng Chen's chest with his hand.

Feng Chen still looked at the ceiling, and said in his mouth: "Whatever Haiyun City looks like, that's what it looks like outside."

"But there are a lot of people outside, right? It's the same as the hive ship in the underground resettlement site. Are they all living in a house like ours, and are they still living together?" Yan Bubu imagined enthusiastically: "Central City There must be a lot of houses, there are cake rooms, chocolate rooms..."

"The central city is full of zombies." Feng Chen interrupted lightly.

"Zombie?" Yan Bubu asked in surprise.

"The central city is built in mid-air, and the bottom is full of zombies. It's like the snow in Haiyun City. You can't see the edge at a glance. There are also people in the city who are turning into zombies every day."

Yan Bubu sat up abruptly: "But didn't the cipher box be handed over to Major General Lin and Colonel Yu, so there will be no more zombies in the future?"

Feng Chen murmured: "...I don't know either."

Yan Bubu thought for a moment: "Could it be that the things in the cipher box are useless?"

"No, I'm sure that the cipher box contains data that can resist mutations. I found a piece of video data when I was cleaning the ninth floor. It should have been forgotten by the Eastern Allied Forces when they withdrew, and it was mixed in a pile of ordinary documents."

"Video data? What's in there?" Yan Bubu asked.

"It is a researcher's observation diary, which records the behavior of a person who is about to mutate into a zombie within a week of treatment."

"Is that man cured?"

Feng Chen shook his head: "It's not getting better, but it's not getting worse either."

Yan Bubu asked: "Does it mean that you didn't completely turn into a zombie?"

"Yes." Feng Chen thought deeply: "Lin Fen once said that the Eastern Allied Forces had made a key breakthrough in dealing with mutations, and from the video data, it seems that this is indeed the case. Originally, only the final research steps were needed. , the result was an earthquake, and the research had to be interrupted. The cipher box contained the research data. It is said that after the central city got the data, the research could be successful, but after so many years, the central city is still in a zombie crisis .”

Yan Bubu murmured blankly: "Why is that... I don't know if Major General Lin and Colonel Yu are okay, as well as Captain Su and my classmates, Yu Ke, Wang Suizi, Chen Wenchao, Liu Xingchen and others."

When Yan Bubu was six years old, he only studied on the hive ship for a short period of time, but he could remember the names of those classmates so clearly.

Feng Chen sighed in his heart.

The two were silent for a while, and Feng Chen said: "They should be fine, but the cipher box has been handed over to Lin Fen, and what happens outside has nothing to do with us, anyway, zombies can't reach Haiyun City. Don't think about it, Go to sleep."

"Oh yes, go to sleep."

Yan Bubu agreed, but was dazed for a while before lying down, tossing and turning in Feng Chen's arms.

"What are you doing moving around? Go back to your room and sleep?" Feng Chen shook his shoulder.

Yan Bubu immediately stopped moving and let out a loud grunt.

"You try to make this noise again?"

Yan Bubu's snoring became quieter, and he murmured twice in his sleep, and smacked his lips.

Feng Chen couldn't help shaking his head: "Really, Yan Bubu, if you use this cunning energy in your studies, I'm sure you won't become the number one student in Haiyun City."

"Annoying? Keep mentioning, keep mentioning." Yan Bubu turned his back to him.

Feng Chen pinched the back of his neck, saw him shrinking his neck like a cat, and then retracted his hand in satisfaction.

After Yan Bu was 12 years old, Feng Chen vacated a room as his own bedroom, but every night he would stand at the door scratching with his pillow in his arms: "Brother, brother, I want to sleep with you..."

Feng Chen then opened a door between the two rooms, and kept it open at night, so that Yan Bubu would not be afraid and used to sleep alone.

But Yan Bubu still tried every means to sneak into his room, always sneaking in and climbing into bed in the middle of the night, curling up cautiously by the side of the bed like a puppy.

Feng Chen wanted to drive people away at first, but he let him go after more times.Yan Bubu went in more openly with his pillow in his arms every night, and went back with his pillow in his arms after waking up.

As long as the pillow is back, it means that he slept alone in his room for one night.

Yan Bubu's steady breathing could be heard in his ears, but Feng Chen got up lightly, closed the door and went down to the fifth floor.

Binunu and Black Lion don't sleep, they are watching a movie together.Binunu looked impatient, but when Feng Chen walked to the stairs, he hurriedly picked up the remote control, and quickly pressed it off with his little paw.

But Feng Chen still saw the screen, and tapped Binunu with his finger: "Secret love... Don't force it if you don't like it, kids don't have to be so curious."

Binunu sat calmly, and only after Feng Chen got down to the fifth floor did he pat the black lion, beckoning it to go out and play together.

Yan Bubu woke up and found that Feng Chen was not by his side, so he also got up and left the bedroom.

The lobby on the sixth floor was very quiet, and the lights were not turned on. Binunu and Black Lion on the fifth floor were also absent, so they must have gone out to play.

Those two don't need to sleep, they run wildly in the empty city every night, and sometimes they will catch a mutant that was killed, so there is never any shortage of meat on his and Feng Chen's dinner table.

When Yan Bubu went down to the fourth floor, he saw light coming from the crack of the door. He opened the door lightly, only to hear the muffled sound of boxing.

In the training room, Feng Chen was wearing sponge gloves and punching the sandbag in front of him again and again.

Yan Bubu didn't know how long he had been practicing here, but his T-shirt and hair were drenched with sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Yan Bubu didn't call out to him, and after looking at it quietly for a while, he walked into the open space marked by the yellow line.

With the sound of a beep, several beams of light were cast on the roof, and he began to dodge quickly.

Yan Bubu practiced very seriously, dodging those fast-moving light beams, moving left and right, forward and backward.The only sound in his ears was the continuous sound of boxing behind him.

Half an hour later, when the muffled bang bang finally ended, he turned around, let the light beam fall on his body, and looked at Feng Chen who was lying flat on the ground panting.

drop.

"The target was hit, and the training failed." The female mechanical voice sounded.

Yan Bubu staggered towards Feng Chen, and lay down beside him, both staring at the ceiling panting heavily.

"Yan Bubu, I have already handed over the cipher box to Lin Fen." Feng Chen suddenly said without thinking.

Yan Bubu replied: "Yes, you hand it over to him."

"So what happens outside has nothing to do with me."

Yan Bubu said again: "Yes, it has nothing to do with you."

Feng Chen stretched out his sponge-gloved hand in front of Yan Bubu, and Yan Bubu also raised his hand to bump into him, and they both said, "It has nothing to do with us."

After resting in silence for a while, Feng Chen's breathing gradually calmed down, and sweat soaked the floor around him.

Still staring at the ceiling, he murmured suddenly: "I just want to live here peacefully with you, and don't care what the outside world has become, or what those people have become... I shouldn't talk too much. The one who asked that..."

Yan Bubu stretched out his hand, took off his sponge gloves, and clasped his sweaty hands.

"Yan Bubu..." Feng Chen called him, but there was no more to say.

Yan Bubu looked sideways at him, and Feng Chen also looked over.

Yan Bubu's eyes are like a pool of lake water, soft and clear, without doubt or hesitation, full of trust.

"What's the problem?" Feng Chen looked into his eyes and asked hesitantly.

Yan Bubu affirmed: "No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you."

"Lin Fen took the cryptex, but the zombification has not been resolved."

Yan Bubu frowned: "It's not your problem if it's not resolved."

"I understand that it's not my problem, but I..." Feng Chen hesitated to speak, struggling emotions flashed in his eyes.

"But what's wrong with you?"

Feng Chen murmured: "But I can't calm down anymore."

"Let me listen." Yan Bubu turned over, put his ear on his chest, felt the strong beating there, and said after a while: "It's saying I'm not happy, I'm not happy, I'm not happy..."

Feng Chen remained silent and did not speak.

Yan Bubu took his hand and put it on his heart: "Then can you hear what I'm saying?"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Chen asked softly.

"It's saying, brother, you can do whatever you want, and I will be with you no matter what."

"Do you know what I want to do?" Feng Chen asked.

Yan Bubu blinked, and wiped away a bead of sweat sticking to his eyelashes: "I know."

Feng Chen didn't continue talking, he just looked at Yan Bubu fixedly, and laughed after a while.

This smile drove away the confusion in his eyes and regained his ease.Yan Bubu also smirked, but was pulled into his arms by Feng Chen, regardless of his objection, he pressed his head against his chest and rubbed vigorously.

Yan Bubu howled and struggled: "You stink, let me go, you stink to death..."

"How dare you despise me? Do you smell your own smell?"

Feng Chen let go of Yan Bubu, slowly suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "I'll think about it again, and I'll tell you the answer tomorrow."
