After the fog, I became a birdman

"Bah, you just had plastic surgery." Captain Zhang rolled his eyes angrily, "It's not because of the mutation."

"You look handsome." Qi Jiang walked over and patted Captain Zhang on the shoulder, "When did you come to the base?"

"Come here early, good luck, not infected with the plague." Captain Zhang smiled, and when he talked about the plague, his expression was a little unnatural, as if he remembered something sad.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing never expected that they would meet Captain Zhang, an acquaintance, on such an occasion.

In fact, if there were no volcanic eruptions and no plagues, they would also hope to get together with their old friends more, but after experiencing so many things, they no longer expect to meet their old friends.

Even Brother Chen, they have never met him in Fengcheng Base so many times, and they have never even smelled him here.

They were afraid of being disappointed, so Qi Su and the two of them would not go out of their way to look for them. If their friends really couldn't hold on, they would always send someone to look for them.

Old friends want to reminisce, but it is not the precious time when the temperature is not high, so after seeing Captain Zhang’s expression is not right, Qi Jiang did not continue to chat with him, but glanced at the sundial.

"Go prepare your own equipment and gather at the main entrance of the base in 10 minutes. You don't need to bring your pets."

Qi Jiang's serious words interrupted everyone's curiosity, and even Captain Zhang just waved his hand and hurried away.

Teacher Han sent them out as usual, and asked curiously by the way: "Xiao Zhang knew you before?"

"Well, he used to be the captain of our food distribution point." Su Qing nodded slightly, with a gentle expression, obviously in a good mood when he met an acquaintance.

"It turns out that there is still this origin." Teacher Han felt a little emotional. After several major changes, it is indeed a joyful thing to meet acquaintances.

They chatted a few more words, and seeing that the passage was coming to an end, Master Han said with some regret: "Consultant Su, this time a man named Zhou Chen hunted monsters, and he was only 3 minutes slower than No.2. He is the only one." People who can hunt monsters, I don’t know if they can be flexible and add another person?”

Su Qing paused. When Zhou Chen asked the question before, Su Qing actually noticed this person. His talent is really good. Among the 120 people, the only one who can compare with him is Tan Yilong, the leader of the battle group.

It's a pity that it was 2 minutes short.

Su Qing didn't agree: "It's a pity to miscalculate strength, but you can't add more people."

Hearing this, Master Han was disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't make progress, so he had to give up.

He was busy with official duties, so he didn't spend much time with him. He sent Qi Su away from the battle group and went to the office.

On the main road, Qi and Su slowly walked out of the base. The encounter with Captain Zhang made Qi Jiang want to find Brother Chen: "Susu, you said Brother Chen and the others..."

"Why don't you go and look for it." Su Qing also wanted to get together with old friends, "Everyone can leave Tianbi Garden, it means that luck is pretty good, maybe we can meet again."

Originally, the plan was to go to Snowless Mountains for training, but now the monsters and half-monsters over there have all run downstream, so he and Qi Jiang must come here to hunt every day.

While training, it is also a good thing to make your friends stronger.

As they said that, the two walked to the gate of the base. A girl wearing a patrol uniform and a high ponytail passed by in front of her. She sat on top of the mutant dog with a serious expression and patrolled the surroundings with her weapon in her hands.

Su Qing glanced at the girl, his expression didn't change much, but Qi Jiang was too familiar with the changes in his aura, so he also glanced at the girl without a trace, his pupils shrank slightly.

Her eyes are similar to Su Qing's before.

After Su Qing mutated, the different pupils made his temperament even colder, and the shape of his eyes changed slightly. Although they were still willow eyes, they were more cold than before.

And this girl, even if she doesn't smile, her eyes are full of affection, and her temperament looks very lively.

Upon closer inspection, the two have two to three points of similarity in their facial features, especially their eyes, which are still five points alike.

Because the temperament is completely different, if he hadn't noticed Su Qing's gaze, Qi Jiang wouldn't have paid attention to it.

"Susu, this girl..."

"My half-sister, named Man Man, she is innocent and innocent." Su Qing's voice did not fluctuate.

Qi Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, observing his expression carefully.

Aware of this, Su Qing smiled and shook her head slightly, as if stating an irrelevant past event: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

It's just that when he saw the innocent temperament of this half-sister before, he always thought, she was born by the same mother, why he never got a good face from that woman?If mother can love him more, can he be as lively as her?

But later he found out that he didn't need it, he didn't need to draw any feelings from that woman, as long as he had a grandfather.He doesn't need to be perky either, because he's fine that way.

Qi Jiang knew that Su Qing didn't care about it at all, maybe he had passed the stage of yearning for maternal love, but at least he had regrets in his heart, otherwise the appearance of this girl would not have caused his emotional fluctuations.

The past will eventually leave traces in my heart.

He took Su Qing's hand, tightened his strength slightly and told Su Qing that he was here: "Your mother's family should be here too, if you want to make up for the regret, we can go to her."

"Sometimes regrets even have some goodness. I'm afraid I don't have enough fate with that woman. I have been in contact with that woman a lot. Maybe even that little goodness is gone. In this case, it's better not to contact." Su Qing seemed to feel amused At the same time, there was a trace of helplessness, "You don't have to worry about me, really, I'm just feeling a little bit emotional."

He smiled in relief, and his voice suddenly became very soft, but he was very firm: "Whether it's father's love or mother's love, I got it from grandpa."

You gave me love too, that's enough.

"Then I will give you love and family affection." Qi Jiang suddenly said seriously.

Su Qing was taken aback, wondering if Qi Jiang could read minds.

The smile on the corner of his mouth got deeper and deeper: "Yeah."

They waited at the gate of the base for less than 2 minutes, and other people arrived one after another. In 9 minutes, the six people successfully assembled, the speed was not bad, and the attitude was very positive.

"Today is the first time in class. Most of you are injured, so you won't be hunting anymore. I'll take you to the lake to see those mutated animals. Let's share their habits and weaknesses with each other." Qi Jiang said as he walked. , "Before we reach the lake, let's introduce ourselves first, and let Consultant Su and I understand your current situation."

Everyone introduced themselves one after another. Among the six, Tan Yilong, Zhang Bufan and He Mao have all reached a stable stage.

Everyone has the matter of recognizing the master of the magic weapon. Su Qing has made it very clear before, and everyone knows what to do, but there is still a big problem, that is, they don't know the ability of the next stage of development what is it.

It stands to reason that the situation of not knowing what the bloodline ability is should happen in the bottleneck period. If you can reach the stable period, you already have a certain understanding of yourself, and you should be clear about the next stage of development.

But the reality is that they really came here with a little knowledge. The bottleneck period has passed, and they still don't understand some deeply hidden abilities.

In the final analysis, this is still due to inexperience, and the energy bursts of several weather changes, they were obviously encouraged by the seedlings to have this side effect.

Fortunately, Su Qing and Qi Jiang can still see where their problems are, so they don't need to worry anymore.

Tan Yilong is the leader of the battle group, a mutant who lives alone like an eagle, with the ability to fly, transform into eagle claws, transform into eagle eyes, and the magic weapon is a short knife with barbs. Although there are barbs, the knife itself is very sharp. So there is no problem that it is difficult to pull out. He is also the only two people in the base who can hunt and kill monsters.

At present, he can feel that the next ability to develop is still wings, but it is different from flying. He doesn't know how to find this extra ability.

Zhang Bufan is the captain of the patrol team. He is a snake and lives alone. His ability is also venom, and his weapon is a poisonous dagger.He can feel that he has a winding ability, but now he only grows fangs and snake scales, and there is no sign of a snake tail, so he doesn't know how to continue to develop this ability.

He Mao is a company commander of the battle group. As the name suggests, he is a mutant of the cat family. His abilities in the first stable period are night vision and cat ears. Although he looks inferior to He Yilong and Zhang Bufan, He Mao's The magic weapon is extremely powerful, the dagger is very sharp, and her combat experience is also very sufficient, so she can sit firmly as the commander of the combat regiment.

Her problem is the same as the previous two, she doesn't know what ability she will develop in the next stage.

Lin Qixue, Huang Lin, and Sun Miaomiao have just recovered from serious illnesses, and their combat experience is not as good as the first three. They have not yet reached a stable stage, and their weapons are still being conceived.

Lin Qixue is a solitary variant of an ice-type fox, currently known to be able to sense smell and control ice.

Huang Lin is a solitary variation of tigers, and currently known abilities are Tiger Roaring Sound Wave, Controlling Gold, and Tengyun.

Sun Miaomiao is a solitary hamster variant, currently known to store things and control soil.

Among the three, Huang Lin's cloud-climbing ability is a bit special. It is actually flying, but without wings.

The most special one is Sun Miaomiao. Her storage is space, and her overall ability is actually biased towards logistics, but a girl can survive the sandstorm to the end, which is enough to show that she is not satisfied with this.

Su Qing guessed that she has the ability to store things. The talent should be the one-in-a-thousand-year void talent mentioned in the book. As long as she grows up, she will definitely be among the strongest.

But this ability, even Su Qing has only read it in the ancient books at home, and he doesn't know how to cultivate it at all. Besides, the book also says that people with this kind of talent are most likely to die young because of weak bones in the early stage.

What Su Qing can do is to try his best to make her go smoothly in the future and reduce the chance of her dying.

That night, the eight of them mainly spent their time exchanging experiences, and this was also the most relaxing night for Tan Yilong and the others.

After one night, the three who gained the most were Sun Miaomiao, who had no combat experience, but tonight they were not just here to exchange experience. The biggest gain was actually some of the experiences Qi and Su talked about, as well as their understanding of mutation abilities. understanding.

They always thought that controlling the mutation ability required constant contact, but Su Qing and the two actually had very little time to practice the ability, but they were still no strangers to their ability.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to return to the practice. Running the heart method itself is sorting out one's own meridians. When the heart method resonates with the blood vessels, it can also help them control their bodies.

For another example, everyone's awakened bloodlines have grades, and Tan Yilong and the others don't know how to use the reaction of the bloodlines to judge the opponent's strength and bloodline grades.

The sandstorm was about to start, Qi Su and the others told them to go back, and flew directly home.

On the way, Su Qing hesitated: "Brother Jiang, I just tried it out, and their talisman or formation talents are very average, how do you feel?"

Qi Jiang also shook his head: "It seems that there is really no way to train a minister for Mr. Han this time."

"Speaking of which, Tan Yilong is the one with the best talent among these people, and Sun Miaomiao is the most special, but she only awakens storage, and doesn't have the speed talent of the predecessor of the teleportation, nor the attack talent of the predecessor of the void blade. , not to mention the control talent of the predecessor of the void cage, and the overall void talent is also very average."

Su Qing felt that the talents of these six people were average, and only one Tan Yilong could see a little.

As for Sun Miaomiao, without a teacher who is proficient in the void to guide her, her path will not be easy.

Qi Jiang took out the general training points and several test methods that they made up a few days ago, looked at them and put them down: "There is only one month's master-student relationship, and it will not exceed three months at most. As long as you pass the test No matter how poor the talent is, it doesn't matter, just teach as much as possible."

Back home, they readjusted the test content according to the situation of several students, discussed the homework to be assigned, and then went to shower and sleep.

At this time, Tan Yilong, He Mao, and Zhang Bufan were still training profusely in the underground training ground, accompanied by many colleagues, all of whom came to gain classroom experience.

The three of Huang Lin meditated in the quiet room, using the spirit gathering array to catalyze the mutation.

In the corner, Zhou Chen silently looked at Tan Yilong and the three in the center of the crowd, bowed his head in thought for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and walked to Mr. Han's office.

Buckle up!

"Enter!"

Zhou Chen walked in and saluted with a patter: "Master, good evening!"

When Master Han heard his voice, he seemed not surprised that he would come over, and raised his hand to let Zhou Chen sit down: "Is it because of training?"

"Yes, sir, I heard that you have allocated some of the ore veins we found to the two consultants Su, and they are all wind-type spiritual mines." Zhou Chen did not sit down, and looked at his boss with burning eyes, "This subordinate wants to suspend his duties. For a while, go out and find the spirit mine by yourself."

Master Han sighed, Zhou Chen is indeed the most courageous one of his subordinates, it is a great achievement in itself to not forget to increase one's ability while searching for spiritual veins outside, and not to lag behind anyone else.

Naturally, he will not prevent his subordinates from becoming stronger, and has already prepared some things.

Teacher Han took out a small box from the drawer: "You go, remember, they don't lack the spiritual veins of the wind element, go find the thunder element, and go back quickly, preferably within a month."

Zhou Chen showed joy, and was a little touched. Before he could say anything in the future, Master Han waved his hand: "Okay, hurry up and prepare. You can tell other people about this matter. If they want to leave, I won't stop them."

"But they've never been that far before, in case..."

"I can't be biased in my life." Teacher Han sighed softly, "It's all at your own risk."

The fact that Zhou Chen was suspended and left the base alone caused an uproar in the underground training ground, but in the end, only two or three people took the risk to leave.

At the same time, the survey team who originally went out to find the spiritual vein also took some detoxification pills to find the location of Gaocheng.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the first ten days of September, and the training has been proceeding according to the plan. Now Su Qing and Qi Jiang no longer follow him every day.

They still come to Fengcheng base every day, but they all have their own things to do. In terms of training, they will assign homework in advance, and whoever completes the current homework first will get the next homework.

During the period, if students have any questions, they can also ask Qi and Su when the sun goes down every day.

The homework assigned by Qi and Su also includes hunting half monsters and monsters, but the progress is relatively late. At present, they are more about letting everyone discover their own abilities and how to use energy more effectively to strengthen themselves.

Therefore, at present, we are still in the semi-practice and semi-theoretical stage.

Although it was only a week of training, everyone has made great progress, and the gap between each other has gradually widened, and let them know how easy it is to overtake on a curve, as long as they find the right method, regardless of talent level, bloodline strength, etc. The gap is also bigger than they imagined.

When everyone made great progress, Su Qing and Qi Jiang also made great progress.

The fusion of their minds was successful.

Or maybe it was really lucky on this day, they also found Qian Cai and knew the whereabouts of Brother Chen.

Qian Cai now lives in a small wooden house, which is the smallest in the whole base, right in the residential area.

When Su Qing and the others found Qiancai, he was digging a cellar with his youngest son. The sweat on his body dyed his hair into strands, and the wet hair became very thick with the dust in the air. There was a layer of mud, and sweat flowed down the cheeks, leaving obvious marks.

He has changed a lot, his hair is all white, he is as thin as skin and bones, and the wrinkles on his face are as deep as ravines. He looks like he is 30 or 80 years old. He used to look like he was only in his forties, younger than his actual age. I was seven or eight years old, but now I am like an old man who is seven or eighty years old, even his back is bent.

Successive disasters hit him hard and clouded his shrewd eyes.

When the volcano erupted, all the elderly members of the family died in the cave, and only he and a few children escaped.

Later, the plague took the lives of the children, leaving only him and his youngest son Qian Tong. If it wasn't for his youngest son, he would not want to live alone.

As for Brother Chen, his son Xiaohe died in the cave, and his daughter Xiaoyi fell into the water. I don't know if he was eaten by a mutated fish in the chaos or escaped while taking advantage of the chaos.

Sister Fang had a miscarriage, and one of the two children died, and there was a high probability that the other would not survive. After she became insane, she always felt that she was a fish, lingering in the waters near Fuluo Mountain, and never went ashore.

The last time Qiancai saw Brother Chen was at Mount Fu Luo. At that time, he was sitting on the bank of Mount Fu Luo when the nine of them climbed up to see Fang Jie on the water in the distance. No matter how much the rescuers persuaded him, he would not get on the boat .

Later, Qian Cai was infected with the plague. He also heard that the rescuers used strong methods to take away Brother Chen and his wife, but later he heard that Sister Fang ran out, and Brother Chen went out to find Sister Fang by himself. Never heard from them again.

Hearing this, Qi Jiang's heart sank suddenly. He had already guessed that it would be difficult for Brother Chen's family to survive, but he didn't expect that the development of the matter would be more tortuous than he imagined.

Looking at Qian Cai's exhausted and numb face, Qi Jiang opened his mouth, and wanted to ask Qian Tong to learn something from him and Su Qing, but he suddenly found that Qian Cai had been paying attention to his son when he was talking to them. , even if Qian Tong is by his side, he is very worried.

At this moment, Qi Jiang thought, maybe it would be better to ask after a while.

Qian Cai's spirit is not stable now, he needs his son.

When bidding farewell to Qian Cai and leaving his house, Qi Jiang felt a little heavy: "I don't know how Brother Chen is doing now."

"We didn't find his body when we went to investigate the plague and hunt before, so there should be no accidents." Su Qing felt that there was still hope.

Qi Jiang also didn't want to think badly, so he nodded lightly: "Yes, there are too many variables in this world, who can say for sure?"

After saying that, he carefully avoided a person carrying a log, and suddenly found that the houses in this area were relatively small, and most of the families here were alone, with a maximum of two people.

It was getting late, everyone started a day's work in the heat wave, everyone was as thin as Qian Cai, most of them had tough eyes, and a few people were like Qian Cai, their faces were tired, maybe For the sake of their families, or perhaps for other reasons, they are still persisting.

In the thriving base, this area is like a shadow in the light.

Qi Jiang glanced across the tired and numb faces, and suddenly grabbed Su Qing's hand: "Susu, we must not be separated."

He did not hope that one day, he and Su Qing would become like this, he did not hope that they would be exhausted and numb by this unreasonable worldly study.

Su Qing shook his hand and nodded lightly: "Well, we all need to be fine."

Qi Jiang smiled, and pulled him away from the residential area quickly. When he reached the main road, Su Qing accidentally raised his head, slowed down, squinted his eyes, and pointed to the sky with some doubts: "Brother Jiang, that's in front of you." What?"

"Ok?"

Qi Jiang followed his hand to look over, and saw a ray of red light lit up under the gray sky at the edge of the horizon, as if there was some strong light on the ground shining upwards.

Looking carefully, there seems to be some distorted smoke or clouds in the red light?

Qi Jiang frowned and looked carefully, but couldn't tell the difference, so he could only shake his head: "I don't know, go hunting first, and try the new arrow I made for you. If it doesn't work well, I'll change it for you."

Hearing this, Su Qing smiled, and picked a familiar direction to fly out with Qi Jiang. When he arrived at the destination, his eyes swept over the direction of the red light just now, and found that the range of the red light had become wider.

But soon, he was attracted by a pig driven out by Qi Jiang. He drew his bow and shot an arrow, and found that the speed of the spirit arrow was much faster than the spirit wood arrow he made before, and it was also faster than the spirit wood arrow. sharp.

"How is it?" Qi Jiang dragged the big fat pig over and looked at Su Qing expectantly, "How does it feel? Is it okay?"

"The arrow is relatively heavy, but it is very fast and sharp." Su Qing commented one by one, and asked while putting the pig away, "Is there any way to make it lighter?"

"Then we need to change the formula." Qi Jiang nodded slightly, keeping Su Qing's suggestion in mind, "Try the few sticks made by Langya again."

"Ah."

Su Qing picked one from the quiver, and went to look for new prey with Qi Jiang, while the red light in the sky behind them continued to expand, and some distorted black mist could be faintly seen rising into the air.

In a blink of an eye, three hours later, Su Qing had finished trying the spirit arrows that Qi Jiang made for him, and reviewed them one by one. Seeing that the time was about the same, he went back to the base with Qi Jiang.

When it landed at the gate of the base, a gust of wind happened to blow in. Su Qing keenly smelled a faint burning smell, which was similar to the smell of burning firewood.

Qi Jiang also smelled it, and a thought arose in his heart, and he looked up at the place where the red light was before.

Because it was dark, the red light was much more conspicuous than before, and it seemed bigger than before, or closer to them.

The fire lights up the sky, and there's a field of fire over there!
