After the fog, I became a birdman

All the electrical appliances in Su Qing's house were scrapped quickly. The small dryer was not supported for a few days, followed by the scrapped water heater, and finally the refrigerator and other appliances in the kitchen.

The speed of scrapping electrical appliances has accelerated a lot. Qi Jiang felt that the time for the scrapping of generators was approaching, so he calculated his and Su Qing's supplies in his mind.

There is no shortage of food and use, but water resources have to find a way to save a wave when there is electricity now.

Qi Jiang thought about it, went out for a day, and when he came back, he carried a water pump to store water in the containers at his and Su Qing's house.

The water pump only worked for one day, not because it was broken, but because the generator was scrapped.

The scrapping of electrical appliances did not cause too much panic. In other words, during this period of time, every household’s electrical appliances will be scrapped one after another. It didn't cause any major problems in everyone's life, and everything was accepted naturally.

Ignoring everyone's seeming panic, this incident doesn't seem to have had much impact.

After the electrical appliances are scrapped, there will be a shortage of water resources. This problem is nothing to Su Qing and Qi Jiang. Even Qi Jiang gets along well with the residents on the top floor because he often goes to the rooftop. I heard that they generate electricity. Before the machine broke down, I used the water pump to cooperate with them to sell water, and there was some food income every day. Although it was not much, there was still some income.

Because of the problem of water resources, Su Qing began to consider whether to kill the chickens and rabbits raised in the storage room.

There is a lot of water in his space, but because he cooks and washes clothes with Qi Jiang, he can't take it out. As a result, the water they can use is basically only the water stored in Qi Jiang. Rely on Qijiang to fetch water.

Su Qing couldn't enjoy these conveniences with peace of mind, and couldn't lie to herself not to waste water just because there was no shortage of water for the time being.

There are chickens and rabbits in the storage room. Because they are sensitive to the smell, they have to wash them with water once a week. Su Qing has calculated before that at least a few buckets of water are needed for cleaning. A few buckets of water don’t seem like much now, but if He had to lift the water several times, but after thinking about it, he decided to kill it.

In the end, the storage room played its final role. After the smell dissipated, all the supplies in Su Qing's living room were moved inside, and the living room seemed much empty again.

The cooperation between Qi Jiang and the top floor did not last for many days. After the generator in their house broke down, the business did not continue.

In mid-February, when Qi Jiang went shopping for vegetables, he heard that another person had festered all over his body and was admitted to the hospital. People have keenly sensed that there seems to be something wrong in this stable environment.

Because he didn't know if the disease was contagious, Su Qing didn't let Qi Jiang go out now, because he was afraid that he would be infected while queuing.

Anyway, they didn't lack food and drink. For the safety of himself and Su Qing, Qi Jiang's activities began to be limited to his own home and Su Qing's house, and he didn't even go to the rooftop where he often went. Watch from the balcony.

In fact, his vision has become better now, but it is still not as good as the telescope, so Qi Jiang still uses the telescope to observe the nearby movements, whether it is the movement of mutated animals in the dense fog or the movement of the army on the road in the distance.

In late February, Qi Jiang and Su Qingchen secretly practiced flying separately.

Because Su Qing's wings are small, he always practices in the living room, while Qi Jiang's wings are big, the living room can no longer accommodate him, and he can hit the wall with a slight flap of his wings, so he always runs outside in the thick fog.

Now Qi Jiang's wings have become so big that they can reach his hips when they hang down, and one side of the wing is tightly attached to his back, and he can't tell himself that he can't see it, let alone he has a pair of wings.

But fortunately, his control over the wings became stronger, and he found that the wings absorbed the dense fog and grew faster. He found an excuse that after going out for a few days, he quickly absorbed the dense fog to make the wings grow to the buttocks, and finally felt vaguely that the wings had grown. grow into a bottleneck period.

After the wings stopped growing, he was finally able to put them away as he wanted, and successfully hid them in his body before Su Qing noticed the abnormality.

At the same time, Qi Jiang also noticed a change in his strength. His strength became stronger and stronger. Fortunately, it was gradual. In addition, Qi Jiang was very sensitive to this and had been deliberately controlling it, so there was no loss of control. Condition.

Different from Qi Jiang's fast-growing wings, Su Qing's wings are not growing fast. They are only one and a half palms in size. They still look fluffy and grow very slowly, but the speed is not as slow as it appears on the surface. .

His strength seems to be biased toward speed and agility, and his strength growth is negligible, which is what Su Qing wants. He doesn't care about strength or anything else. Flying fast means running fast, which means he can live longer.

Because one of them was indoors and the other was outdoors, Qi Jiang tried his best not to wander around Su Qing's side for fear of accidents, even though they both had wings, the two never met.

Just as they were fully grasping the newly emerging power in their bodies, another major event happened in Fengcheng.

The dark earth red worm has evolved again, and the city hospital issued a notice that it has confirmed the discovery of three generations of dark earth red worm, and determined the direction of evolution.

The third generation of dark soil red worms successfully entered the water from the soil, possessed the ability to survive in water, and were more harmful than the second generation.

Different from the first-generation and second-generation parasitic skin, the third-generation infected people drank more water outside, and the internal organs were first parasitized. Because the third-generation toxicity is relatively strong, the host will feel symptoms such as loss of appetite and dizziness within 8 hours, and then Within 24 hours, he fell into a coma, and finally spread to the whole body, forming signs of festering all over the body.

Since this month, several cases of people with festering all over their bodies have been sent to the hospital. These people were all infected with the third generation of dark soil red worms. Because the third generation is smaller in size and will quickly fuse with the host, even X-rays cannot detect it.

Because the onset is too fast, the reproduction speed of the three generations is also very fast, so if you can't go to the hospital for gastric lavage within three hours of infection, you can wait to die later.

Because of this, notices were posted at every food distribution point, and the community management office began to use loudspeakers to remind citizens who drank other water to go to the hospital for examination, so as not to delay treatment and kill themselves.

This news caused the citizens to panic again, and at the same time feel very sick. The amount of disinfectant at the food distribution point was increased again, and each person increased by 200 milliliters per day.

Fengcheng is very rich in water resources, and the greening is also done well, and the water in various natural or artificial lakes is fairly clean.

Because the water is stopped now, many people will bring water back from the nearby lake. Most of them use it for washing clothes and so on. The water they drink is bought from the food distribution point, and this water is only It is just enough to drink water every day. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too many people infected for three generations. However, the statistics show that the number is appalling.

On the first day when the statement was issued, the community management office had visited tens of thousands of cases, and these people were all comatose at home, and they could not be saved if they were not dead. The characteristics of the three generations, and the smell did not let the neighbors notice that someone died next to them.

These infected people did not drink the water bought from the food distribution point, but because they felt that the water at the food distribution point was not sold enough, they went to other places to stock up on water, but they did not expect that although the water sold by the water vendors was sealed, However, the disinfection was not thorough, and it also killed an unknown number of people.

Although these water dealers were arrested, none of the victims could be rescued, and many of them were infected by a whole family, which is heartbreaking to hear.

Although the proportion of infections is not high, the population of Fengcheng is there, so the hospital is overcrowded again.

The third generation also has the characteristics of the first generation and the second generation, and has stronger vitality and increased resistance to disinfectant. Many people are infected with the third generation when they wash their clothes and change them because they do not disinfect or do not disinfect thoroughly after carrying water home. Although it was just skin ulceration, many people still died at home without anyone knowing because of the strong toxicity.

Also because of this, the community management office of each community will send people to the door to inquire every day, and if they see someone with symptoms that are not right, they will send them to the hospital, and thus find more people who are unconscious at home.

Those with skin infections are much luckier than those with visceral infections, as long as they can be rescued within 48 hours.

It can be said that as long as the disinfection is not thorough, the three generations will be hard to guard against, and it will cause chaos in Fengcheng again. Fortunately, it is properly controlled, so it gradually calmed down.

Both Su Qing and Qi Jiang are a bit of a cleanliness freak, especially Su Qing, who is in charge of cleaning, has a heavier cleanliness than Qi Jiang, and is more particular than him, so they put a lot of disinfectant tablets in the water in their house, and there is no infection of the third generation. question.

Under the tireless popularization of science in the city, people with three generations of skin infections can already clean their skin by themselves. Although the proportion of disfigured people who went to queue has increased, the third generation has been completely controlled, and no one will die to drink non-pai food. water for sale.

Even some families can't drink that much, and they can't sell the water bought from the food distribution point.

Since the beginning of this month, apart from the appearance of the third generation, there have been more news about mutated animals.

There are more and more mutated animals in the wild, more and more soldiers are transferred outside the city, and the casualties are also increasing, causing the citizens on the outskirts of the city to squeeze in desperately.

Now the hard currency among citizens is food, and money is only useful at food distribution points, so people who want to live there can only pay rent with food, but compared with the dangerous suburbs, their lives are naturally more important. Important, even if the monthly rent is high, as long as you can afford the price, so what if it is more expensive?

At the same time, the proportion of pet mutations is also increasing. It should be noted that mutant pets are still gentle, and there is no news of betraying their owners.

The number of soldiers is limited, the birds in the air cannot be intercepted, and some cunning mutated animals take advantage of the loopholes to enter the urban area. Many people with mutated pets escaped unharmed because of this, and even benefited the entire community. Many lost their pets in their sleep life.

This also makes everyone hate mutated animals, while expecting that the pets at home will mutate quickly so that they can sleep more peacefully.

Animals mutate in the dense fog. Qi Jiang and Su Qing, the two mutated people, know that the dense fog can bring them death and strength at the same time, but no one seems to have thought about this issue, and of course they dare not say it. That's it, because even the current army has no news of mutants.

I don't know if it was concealed or because no one mutated.

Recently, we can always see many birds and beasts wandering around looking for food in the sky. In addition, Su Qing is sick, so he doesn't know that his neighbors have started to compete with the birds in the sky for territory.

Before they knew it, their patch of wandering birds was slowly disappearing, and no one knew why.

In March, the weather began to warm up, and strands of silver appeared in the poisonous death mist, which looked very conspicuous. Both Su Qing and Qi Jiang felt that these silver substances were very suitable for their bodies, and it also caused their strength to grow much faster than before. .

Because of this discovery, although they haven't chatted together, they all guessed in their hearts that the time for human mutation has come.

Because he knew that the person with festering body was infected with three generations of dark soil red worms, so Qi Jiang resumed the habit of going down to buy vegetables.

This day, he had just bought vegetables, and Su Qing was watching the fire cooking on the balcony. Now that the weather was getting warmer, his clothes were actually thicker than before.

After Qi Jiang entered the door, he took the vegetables to the balcony to wash them with ease, washed his hands and wiped them, and then helped Su Qing touch his forehead: "The fever is gone, are you still dizzy?"

Su Qing coughed lightly and shook her head: "A little bit."

They have finished eating all their vegetables, relying on canned vegetables and buying meat from the food distribution point at noon every day to support them, and there is no food left every day.

Since the appliances in the kitchen were scrapped, they began to cook with firewood, and the alcohol stove was tacitly moved back because it was easy to carry.

Su Qing caught a cold last month and is still coughing, and his hands were injured several times by wooden thorns, so Qi Jiang started to take over the work of chopping firewood, so that Su Qing could watch the fire while wearing gloves .

Afterwards, he also slowly took over the cooking. Under Su Qing's guidance, he has become good at cooking recently, unless it is a new dish, he will do it all.

Although the two of them did not live together, they ate and drank together, and they lived together. They knew each other much better than before. Su Qing was not comfortable, but she was also at ease, so she naturally let Qi Jiang do some work.

Qi Jiang did all the cooking, cooking, and laundry. Su Qing would only watch the fire at most, and Qi Jiang was more busy.

The meat that Qi Jiang brought back today was less than yesterday. Su Qing estimated that it was only a catty and a half. He coughed twice in a low voice, and his voice was a little weak: "Is there less meat at the food distribution point?"

Qi Jiang nodded: "In the future, one person can only buy seven and a half catties. I heard that NO.15 will become half a catty."

The meat at the food distribution point is all frozen meat, and it will not continue to be frozen when it is taken out of the cold storage to the food distribution point. After they buy it, it will save time for thawing, although it does not look very fresh.

Su Qing looked at the two bottles of mineral water in the bag, and frowned slightly: "There is also less water."

"Well, half of it is missing. It is said that the stock of mineral water is insufficient. If you want to buy water in the future, you need to bring your own container. The city will send a water truck."

"Is there anything about the amount of the quota at that time?"

After finishing speaking, a gust of wind blew over, Su Qing coughed again, and Qi Jiang raised his head: "You go in and rest first, the wind is a bit strong today, don't just get the fever back up again."

Su Qing had a fever two days ago, and Qi Jiangzai took care of him carefully for two days. He even went to the hospital to ask him what medicine to take. The fever subsided this morning, but Su Qing was still not energetic.

Su Qing sniffed, feeling okay, but he was also afraid of getting burned again, so he nodded and went back, nestled on the sofa and rubbed mountains, and his breathing became much lighter after a while.

Qi Jiang's five senses have been strengthened a lot, and he has been listening carefully to his movements. He felt that after Su Qing fell asleep, he dried his hands and came back to adjust Su Qing's posture. As soon as he touched Su Qing, he opened his eyes with a jerk, coughed, and was not very conscious. clear.

"It's me, lie down and sleep, it's more comfortable." Qi Jiang subconsciously lowered his voice, barely audible.

Hearing his voice, probably because he was used to taking care of him these two days, Su Qing became much less vigilant, coughed again, closed her eyes again, and subconsciously lay down as Qi Jiang said.

Shanshan carefully withdrew from his arms, probably because he saw Qi Jiang's good performance these two days, so his attitude towards him was much better, and he never grinned at Qi Jiang behind Su Qing's back.

Qi Jiang knew that Shanshan could understand what people said, so he whispered: "Don't let the blanket fall."

Shan Shan was afraid of waking Su Qing up and didn't call out, so he yawned in response, lay down next to Su Qing, and fell asleep under the corner of the blanket.

Fearing that the wind from the balcony would blow in, Qi Jiang carefully drew the curtains and closed the balcony door before cooking, and the stir-frying was much lighter.

After cooking, Qi Jiang brought the food to the table. During this time, the food at home was very light, which was suitable for Su Qing to recuperate. Eat enough meals by yourself to maintain your strength, just eat slowly.

Su Qing slept comfortably. Qi Jiang took off his apron and served him a meal. He used to face Su Qing with his forehead. He felt that it was not burning, and felt unsafe. He took a thermometer and put it in his armpit. After 5 minutes, he came back Look, it really didn't burn.

Qi Jiangsheng had a good meal and came over to call for someone. He knew that Su Qing was afraid of people touching him, so he just pushed his shoulder a little harder, and it really woke him up: "Su Qing, it's time to eat."

It took Su Qing a while to react, hummed, and raised her hand to touch her forehead.

"No fever, I measured it for you."

"Okay." Su Qing nodded slightly, regaining consciousness.

Qi Jiang came over to wipe his face and hands with a towel, as if he was treating some porcelain with light hands.

The towel was warm, and after wiping it, Su Qing was finally fully awake, yawned, and went to eat with Qi Jiang.

He ate very slowly, Qi Jiang specially ate a little faster, and went to prepare medicine and water for him after eating, because the water was very hot, Qi Jiang could probably estimate the time when Su Qing finished eating, so the temperature of the water at that time will be just right.

After eating, Su Qing didn't feel sleepy after taking the medicine. He sat on the sofa and watched Qi Jiang clean up the dishes, drinking water while thinking about things with his dull head.

"Brother Jiang, what did you hear when you went out today... Cough."

Su Qing coughed again, and before he could finish asking, Qi Jiang said: "There's nothing new, it's still the same as before, the number of mutated animals entering the urban area has increased, and many people are crowding into the urban area, especially South of the city and downtown."

Speaking of this, Qi Jiang paused. He has a house near Fengcheng University. If Su Qing didn't get sick suddenly, he would like to move to the south of the city.

More and more people are crowding into these two places. The city center is where the city government is located, and the south of the city is a material concentration camp. There are troops stationed in these two places, and the security is very high.

Moreover, the people who are now crowding into these two places are still willing to pay the rent. In case the mutated animals are more harmful in the future, there is no guarantee that there will be no things like picking the lock and occupying the house. It is safer for them to live in first.

However, Su Qing was ill, and there were mutated pets in several neighborhoods near them, so it was quite safe here, so Qi Jiang didn't talk about the house, and didn't want to burden Su Qing.

Su Qing had a house at the university before, but he sold it to stock up, so he didn't think about it. Now he just wants to get well soon.

In the afternoon, Su Qing was sleeping, and Qi Jiang was counting supplies while eating canned food to satisfy his hunger.

He still wants to move to the south of the city, and he is starting to make plans now, and he will mention this matter after Su Qing recovers from his illness. He knows how much Su Qing cares about safety, so he is not worried that he will not agree.

What's more, when they can live together, he will really enter the house, killing two birds with one stone.

The supplies of their two families add up to a lot. Su Qing and he each have supplies for three rooms. The second bedroom and the storage room are full of things, of which water accounts for half, and it is also the most difficult to take away.

Qi Jiang didn't have any other good ideas, he thought about moving there little by little when the fog rose in the morning, although the distance was relatively far, but moving a little a day would take half a month.

At that time, Su Qing's illness will almost be cured. If not, he will confess to Su Qing about the mutation, and slowly move Su Qing's supplies there.

In the afternoon, Su Qing got up to drink water to rehydrate. Qi Jiang controlled the temperature of the water, put it in the thermos cup, took it to the bedside table and put it away, wrote a note on the table to tell Su Qing that he was out, and knocked softly The clock on the bedside table let Shanshan see the white sticky notes on which 15 and 17 were located, and whispered: "Remind Su Qing to get up and drink water when the time comes."

Su Qing is sick, Qi Jiang is busy with family affairs, sometimes he has to go out, Shanshan has been trained by him during this time, and he knows the meaning of the note, he yawned and waved his short hand Telling him to go away quickly, Qi Jiang laughed in his heart, and didn't care about this ghostly cat.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mutated animals were not safe enough in the urban area during the day, Qi Jiang took the key and rode a bicycle to hurry towards the University City.

Now that there are few cars on the road and the traffic is convenient, Qi Jiang walked directly on the highway, relying on his good physical strength, like stepping on a hot wheel, he never stopped along the way.

The south of the city is the entire southern part of Fengcheng, and it spans a large area. Because many people have moved here recently, it seems very lively.

Because the university city is closer to the material concentration camp, the public security is much better than other places. Qi Jiang has not seen anyone messing around all the way. Obviously, the control here is relatively strong.

The house Qi Jiang bought is only two streets away from Fengcheng University. There are four households on one floor, with a total of 20 floors. His house is on the ninth floor. The area is a little smaller than that of Hongjiayuan. Homeland, but not too bad.

From here, you can also see that there are many students training in the playground. These are obviously the college students recruited in the previous notice. Because of the heavy training tasks every day, they are all moved to the school for unified management.

Qi Jiang bought this house when Su Qing was studying, and he hasn't lived in it for several years. It is very dusty, but the furniture is covered with dust covers, so it is not difficult to clean.

He came over with tools, worked all afternoon, cleaned twice, and saw that it was five o'clock, afraid of delaying Su Qing's meal time, he quickly put down the tools and left.

When I went out, I took the garbage away, and the male owner who was opposite opened the door. Seeing him with a strange face, and seeing him coming out of the house, he knew that this was a new neighbor, so he hurriedly said hello: "Did you just move here? Let's go down together? "

Qi Jiang lifted his glasses up with two fingers. During this movement, he quickly glanced twice. He was sure of the person and knew that this person could come and go, so he also smiled: "Yes, I am going to move here, and I will come to clean it today. , haven't asked your name yet?"

The male host smiled heartily, his long sleeves were rolled up to reveal his muscular arms, and he waved his hand: "Haha, your surname is Chen, how about you?"

"My surname is Qi, Qi of Qi Yang."

The two walked down while chatting. Brother Chen was a few years older than Qi Jiang, and with his bright personality, the two wanted to make friends. Brother Chen said he was a brother and got up.

Back home, Qi Jiang opened the door and went in to find that Su Qing was lighting a fire and cooking, and after another look, everything was ready.

Qi Jiang frowned slightly, afraid that Su Qing would catch a cold after touching the water, but he didn't say anything to stop Su Qing from doing things, but asked softly while washing the pot, "Are you still dizzy?"

Su Qing shook his head with a smile. He woke up much better after a nap. When he woke up for the second time, because he didn't eat much at noon, he took food from the space to eat. Get up, so there is still food left.

Qi Jiang went to cook, seeing his relaxed expression, he was also happy: "I went to the south of the city today to inquire about the news, and I heard that the new currency is being implemented in the army and the government, and I reckon the new currency will be introduced slowly in the end. "

In fact, Su Qing didn't have much money on him, so this didn't affect him much, so he asked after thinking about it, "Can I exchange old coins for new ones then?"

Qi Jiang didn't know, and shook his head: "Besides, mutated animals are rampant now. I heard that there is a plan to build a fence. Maybe I will take the opportunity to implement the new currency at that time. The old currency should not be abolished immediately, and there should be a transition. Didn't I recruit college students before?" Is it? People who live in the university city only know when they listen to the chats of those college students. Their salaries and task rewards are calculated in Singapore currency, and consumption is also in Singapore currency. I heard that there is a point system. Oh, and One, the rental of mutated pets is also carried out within the army, including food and housing, and the salary of the pet owner is said to be quite high, and a patrol team has been set up, which is said to be very effective."

Seeing the big from the small, Qi Jiang and Su Qing are not stupid, and the future trend is very clear with just a few news.

Su Qing covered her lips and coughed lightly: "Then it seems that if there are outsourced tasks in the future, we will accumulate more points."

Speaking of this, Su Qing looked at Shanshan nestled at his feet, and frowned slightly: "Actually, I think that mutant pets are more about dealing with mutant animals. The army used to train military dogs, and they must know how to use them better than private individuals." If you can send Shanshan to the army, even for free, Shanshan will definitely grow faster than being by my side."

Qi Jiang agreed, but not very much: "Shanshan is very alert, you will be safer with him by your side."

Su Qing didn't refute. Although he could grasp the nearby movements when he was not sick, he couldn't pay attention to the outside world when he was sick, so he needed others to take care of him.

Although he is much better now, he still gets sick.

Sickness goes away like a thread, even if you have a fever for ten days and a half months, now you have a cold and it takes a long time.

While Su Qing was silent, Qi Jiang started cooking, the two of them didn't struggle with this issue for too long, and the mountains beside them didn't even move.

After dinner in the evening, after taking the medicine, Su Qing felt that the medicine was a bit cold, and her stomach was not feeling well, so she sat on the sofa with a cup in her arms and drank water listlessly, while Qi Jiang was washing clothes in the room.

In the middle of washing, there was a roar of a beast that seemed to go through the world, and the sound made the glass shake.

Roar!

Su Qing was startled, water splashed on his hand, just stood up, Qi Jiang ran out with a gloomy expression.

Regardless of the foam in his hands, he picked up the binoculars on the table and ran out, the door slammed shut: "I'll go to the rooftop to have a look, you should be careful at home."
