Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

"...Going out again?"

The end of Jing Zihua's hair has just been permed, tied into a high ponytail, and a few long strands of curly hair hang down in front of his forehead, making his face as clean and beautiful as jade.

Leaning against the fuel tank, she half-jokingly said, "If you work so hard, do you have money for you?"

Chi Xiaochi smiled and replied, "Of course."

While the two adults were talking, Jing Yiming held the oil gun with both hands, wobbled the end of the gun into the oil filling point, and wanted to refuel Chi Xiaochi's motorcycle.

Chi Xiaochi tilted his head to look at him like a child.

Jing Yiming raised his head and looked back at Chi Xiaochi admiringly, with the cleanest stars in his eyes.

Chi Xiaochi leaned on the dashboard with one elbow, patted Jing Yiming's head lightly, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Make money—support your family."

Jing Zihua said, "Don't try your best."

"Well, that's pretty good." Chi Xiaochi unscrewed the thermos bottle full of spirits, and took a sip.

"What good?"

Chi Xiaochi smiled: "Nothing."

He worked so hard so that Jing Zihua and others, who used to struggle with life and death, could sit in the rear with peace of mind and persuade him, "Don't work so hard".

He drove the car full of gas out of the gas station.

Their oil was originally provided by the gas station where they first hid.

Later, they found this small city backed by a natural oil field.

A new gas station has been established, and Jing Zihua is still in charge, as in both generations.

Leaving the gas station, without waiting for him to call out, his boss gracefully walked out from the shadows and gently rubbed his ankle.

Chi Xiaochi clutched the clutch tightly: "Boss, let's go."

The panther jumped onto the back seat, squatted on it, and lightly pressed the tip of its nose against Chi Xiaochi's neck, the hot air it exhaled made Chi Xiaochi itchy.

They drove slowly through the daytime market.

People on the street have long been accustomed to such a spectacle.

Everyone knows that Ding Qiuyun's family has a leopard with a particularly docile temperament, and he will not be angry if a bold child comes to pet him.

While waiting for Ding Qiuyun, it will even play a game of catch with the children in the street.

Several people even greeted Chi Xiaochi: "Team Ding, let's take the cat for a walk."

Chi Xiaochi said without shame: "Yes."

The big cat behind him didn't evolve intelligence like other creatures, and he didn't get angry when he heard that. Instead, he wrapped his tail around Chi Xiaochi's thigh on one side, and licked the back of his neck lightly, so that Chi Xiaochi almost drove the car into a S Xing Zou: "Driving, driving, go home and play."

The leopard didn't bother him anymore, and leaned its head lightly on his back, rubbing it like a baby.

Chi Xiaochi praised him for being good.

As everyone knows, the leopard kissed his spine lightly, from top to bottom, one by one, gentle and charming.

Chi Xiaochi took his regular small team out to look for supplies again.

This time they will go to a city farther away, which is the city that Ding Qiuyun fled with his parents.

Before leaving, Ding's father and Ding's mother came to see him off as usual.

The old couple were very energetic, and they also told him not to run to the house. It is not clear what is going on there now, maybe it has become the world of creepers, so it is best not to approach it easily.

When they left the small town, it was snowing outside.

It is easy to skid when driving a motorcycle in this snowy day, and Chi Xiaochi was also afraid that his boss would be tired from running, so he even carried the motorcycle onto the back of the truck.

On the way, Sun Yan was using a truck to receive the weak radio signal, and he sang a song that sounded out of tune, but he sang along without hesitation, shaking his head and enjoying himself.

Sun Bin huddled in the passenger seat and dozed off. Yesterday he was busy repairing the line that suddenly stopped in Dongcheng, so he didn't sleep for half the night.

Chi Xiaochi had nothing to do, holding a damaged semiconductor, and dismantled the parts of a felt carpet.

Yan Lanlan leaned over: "Team Ding, I have a specialization in surgery, so save this stuff for Xiao Sun."

Chi Xiaochi fiddled with the old-fashioned circuit board with a serious expression: "I know how to do this. Someone taught me."

The coal boss also seems to be very interested in these parts. He gently pulled the parts with his claws and divided them into piles.

Chi Xiaochi clicked his tongue and patted its paws, and it became obedient, resting its face on Chi Xiaochi's lap, guarding its master, staring at him with eyes covered with water, and then Nor did it move away.

A bold young man was flicking the boss's tail, but he also kindly ignored it.

The truck was running along the deserted road. Suddenly, a faint singing sound came from outside, just passing the truck.

Listen to the tone, it is "Happy Birthday to you".

In this desolate street in the end of winter, what is singing?

Out of curiosity, Yan Lanlan opened the small viewing window, glanced out, and took a sharp breath.

"Stop!" Yan Lanlan raised her hand and knocked on the peep window, "Da Sun, stop the car!"

When Sun Yan stepped on the accelerator, Yan Lanlan opened the door of the truck under the inexplicable eyes of her teammates, and jumped out of the truck before the car came to a complete stop.

There was some fresh snow on the ground, and it creaked when stepped on.

She ran to the source of the sound, which was still moving forward.

And the sound source who was walking against them also heard the footsteps behind them and turned their heads.

...is a little guide dog looking for Xu Jingyuan.

Compared with two years ago, it is a big change now.

The front paws of the little guide dog were broken, and the snowball-like body was covered with a layer of gray that could not be washed off, looking like a dirty mop.

It seemed to have been torn and bitten by wild animals as food, and its tail was torn to a small length. It was bald, resembling a rabbit's tail, and its appearance was quite funny.

It limped, and the melody of "Happy Birthday to You" played from the speakers in its belly,

Only its eyes are still as clear as before.

The little guide dog still remembered Yan Lanlan, and nodded in a gentlemanly manner: "It's you, the lady from the gas station."

Yan Lanlan was panting a little while running, but when she came in front of the little guide dog, she didn't know what to say for a while, and breathed out a big cloud of hot air from her mouth.

Looking at it like this, I also know that it has not found its little master.

Yan Lanlan considered her words, and smiled brightly: "The song is very nice."

The little guide dog said docilely, "Today is Miss's tenth birthday."

Yan Lanlan said "ah", "Are you celebrating her birthday?"

The little guide dog said: "Not only. I think that people who celebrate their birthday today will come out of the room and car to see me when they hear the happy birthday song. In this way, I might be able to find Miss."

Yan Lanlan's heart skipped a beat.

She noticed that, in order to maintain his balance, the little guide dog stepped on his injured front paw on a small snow bank.

"Your paw is hurt," she said.

The little guide dog raised its front paw and said honestly, "It won't hurt."

"Come with us." Yan Lanlan invited it, "We can fix you. In our place, there are many AIs who are friendly to old humans like you."

The little guide dog asked hopefully, "Is there a lady named Xu Jingyuan?"

Yan Lanlan was silent.

Facing these eyes, she couldn't tell a lie.

The little guide dog also understood what the silence meant, and shook his head gently.

"Where did I come from." The little guide dog turned back, looking persistently at the end of the vast road ahead, "I want to go ahead, maybe I will pass by your place, and then we may see each other again. Goodbye, Miss Gas Station."

Seeing that the little guide dog was about to turn around and leave again, Yan Lanlan groaned.

The little guide dog turned around.

Even though she knew that what she was going to say next might hurt this loyal little guide dog, Yan Lanlan was ruthless and said: "She left you at the beginning, and she hasn't gone back to look for it for so many years. She may not remember you anymore." gone."

The little guide dog stood in the cold wind, its gray fur was torn into balls by the wind carrying snow particles.

Its big black and white eyes stared at Yan Lanlan for a while, then it grinned, as if smiling sweetly.

It said: "She may forget about me, may have forgotten me, may have a new guide dog. ... But I have to see for myself that she is okay without me. Then I feel at ease. Thank you Concerned, Miss Gas Station."

After all, it gracefully bowed to Yan Lanlan, turned around and stepped into the piercing cold wind.

Yan Lanlan stood there blankly.

The little guide dog was the same as it was two years ago. It came and passed away on the snow, as if it was an illusion that would only appear in the snow.

But the gradually fading music echoed in Yan Lanlan's mind.

In the sound of Sun Yan's horn, Yan Lanlan just came back to her senses, ran back to the truck compartment in a few steps, stepped on the pedals and jumped onto the truck.

When the curtain was lifted, she looked back again.

The quincunx-shaped paw prints of the little guide dog were buried little by little by the freshly fallen snow.

She pursed her lips, got into the carriage, and brought a burst of snowflakes.

When she sat down, Ding Qiuyun asked her: "Acquaintance?"

Yan Lanlan dusted off the snow on her overalls: "We met by chance...well, acquaintance."

In the last days, such pure and sincere feelings come from a machine equipped with emotional AI.

The AI ​​taught it how to show affection and how to be loyal, but probably never taught it what to do when its master disappeared.

Everything it does now, it wants to do.

Yan Lanlan told the story of the guide dog to the team members in the carriage.

Everyone was silent for a long time.

After the lecture, Yan Lanlan suddenly realized that she had met the little guide dog twice, but had never asked its name.

It was unrealistic to turn around now, so she lay her pillow on the wall of the rumbling and shaking carriage and became dazed.

After Chi Xiaochi finished repairing the semiconductor, he laid his pillow on the soft belly of the coal boss and held it in his hand to play with.

He was thinking about the story Yan Lanlan told, and also thinking about how he should behave when he met Gu Xinzhi for a while, and the jolting of the truck was too regular, and after a while, he curled up on the leopard's belly and fell asleep soundly.

Seeing that Chi Xiaochi was sleeping soundly, the leopard consciously surrounded himself like a fortress, surrounded its owner properly, and wrapped its tail lightly around Chi Xiaochi's waist.

Under the careful care of his big cat, Chi Xiaochi slept all the way into the city.

The former bustling city has turned into a half empty city.

The reason why it is said to be half-seat is that there are traces of animal activities here.

After two years, all the animals that could not adapt to the environment died, so no one was surprised when they saw an ostrich running side by side with the truck for a while, turning right at the intersection and parting ways with them.

They searched several empty shopping malls, and some of the food in them had not been robbed, and the natural refrigeration environment extended the shelf life of the food.

They found toothbrushes and toothpaste, some bedding for winter, some pots and pans, and packed them all into the car.

Yan Lanlan took a box of facial masks very girlishly.

After searching, they also got a surprising number of surprises.

- There is a pile of intact boxes in the corner of the warehouse.Due to the high terrain of the storage, it was not even flooded.

When I opened it, I found that there were more than a hundred bags of corn kernels inside, with a net weight of two tons.

In the past two years, they have never been able to grow live corn, and taking this pile of corn back can completely satisfy their cravings.

After finding food rations to fill their hunger, they went to several hospitals in the city.

After some searching, the team members were a little downcast.

The three pharmacies have already been robbed, and there are only some fish that escaped the net in the corners.Besides, two years have passed, and some medicines are no longer acceptable.

Chi Xiaochi did not give up, went to the largest central hospital, and gave up searching for Mingchu pharmacy, and went straight to the drug storehouse.

The door to the pharmacy was locked, and the lock was an old-fashioned one.

Everyone rushed a few times, and moved corn for a long time, and now they are all in a slump.

Sun Bin suggested: "Captain Ding, let's go, the animals in this city are running around, in case we encounter some mutated monster..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he received violent thumps from all directions, and was knocked so hard that he hid in Sun Yan's arms.

Chi Xiaochi saw that the door of the medicine storehouse was extremely strong, thick and wide, and there were signs of being smashed or even burned on the door.

He opened the keyhole and checked to confirm that the lock must not have been pried open before. It looked like a hard hickory nut. Everyone knew that the benevolence inside was delicious, but they could only sigh.

He asked 061: "Teacher Six, help me check if there is any mess in it."

061 answered concisely: "Yes."

With the words of 061 as the bottom line, Chi Xiaochi can be reassured.

Chi Xiaochi leaned over the keyhole and looked at it, took out a paperclip from his coat, bent it with his teeth, inserted it into the keyhole, first carefully picked off the red rust that had grown inside, then changed the end, and put the paperclip into the lock Inside the eyes, he grinned slightly, leaning his ear against the cold iron door, fiddled with the lock cylinder.

The team members have long been accustomed to electronic locks, but they are helpless with this strange old-fashioned door lock, and they don't even understand what Chi Xiaochi's current actions mean.

No one reacted until the door creaked open inward.

When they came back to their senses, all the team members were startled: "Damn it, Team Ding, it's okay."

Chi Xiaochi stuffed the twisted paperclip back into his pocket, and said calmly, "Someone taught me."

When a warehouse full of medicines appeared in front of everyone, everyone went crazy.

When everyone didn't even bother to look at the production date and loaded boxes of medicines that could be used into the car, Chi Xiaochi found an iron-blue corpse that had been frozen to dryness in the corner of the medicine warehouse.

The corpse was a male, wearing the clothes of a staff member, with a work card on his chest, and he was the caretaker of the medicine storehouse.

Everyone has seen this kind of death from freezing and starvation too much over the years, and they are no strangers to it.

When he entered the door, Chi Xiaochi found that there was something blocked on the door lock. It was half a broken key. After looking through his pockets, he found a broken key head that just fit in the corpse's pocket, and a pair of broken keys. A crumpled ball of paper.

Chi Xiaochi unfolded the ball of paper, which was filled with the names of various materials, and a horizontal line was drawn behind each material, followed by the corresponding medicine given.

The traces of the light blue ink pen are exactly the same color as the ink left on the tiger's mouth of the corpse's right hand.

Chi Xiaochi thought, after the catastrophe happened, this person probably wanted to use the nearby resources and hoarded them, so he wrote a note to the people who came to grab the medicine, asking them to search for supplies for him according to the note.

However, at the juncture of life and death, the constraints of the law on people have disappeared without a trace, and no one will negotiate an equivalent exchange with him.

Facing looting, the medicine guard hid in the medicine storehouse in desperation, and locked the door with the key. Who wanted to use too much force, the key was folded in the keyhole, and blocked his own way of life.

For the rest of his life, he might have spent the last few days of his life in panic amidst the angrily shouting and knocking on the door by the drug snatchers.

Chi Xiaochi stretched out his hand to press his stomach, and found that it was terribly cold and bulging inside.

Looking at the empty medicine tablets and medicine boxes scattered around him, he clearly swallowed a lot of medicine nearby when he was extremely hungry, which actually killed himself.

With a slight sigh, he took the paper full of supplies and covered the drug guard's unrepentant face.

They moved half of the medicine, which almost filled the bed of a heavy truck.

The team members were happy to see their teeth but not their eyes, and they all thought of going back home while it was still dark, so as to save trouble.

But their Ding team still insisted on going to a shopping mall near the drug store to look again to see if there was anything available.

Everyone is used to obeying him, and they don't bite their hands when it comes to supplies, so naturally the more the better.

So no one disagrees.

Yan Lanlan excitedly asked one more question: "If we find something good again, we won't have a place to sit."

After a unanimous discussion, everyone decided that if there was not enough space, Sun Bin would be thrown down. Scared, Sun Bin panicked and argued that he was skinny and didn't take up space at all, which made everyone lean forward and backward.

Chi Xiaochi thought, not much, just go to pull the head animals back.

Chi Xiaochi was sitting in the car, and the two young people opposite were smoking.

He stroked the deformed paper clip in his pocket with one hand, and held the newly repaired semiconductor in the other. Thinking of the teacher who taught him too many things, the corner of his mouth also slightly smiled.

After thinking for a while, Chi Xiaochi suddenly opened his mouth and said to the two young men, "Do you still have cigarettes?"

The two men with cigarettes in their mouths were stunned.

Yan Lanlan was also surprised: "Captain Ding, when did you start smoking?"

Just at this moment, Sun Yan slowly stopped the car.

They arrived at the door of the mall.

Chi Xiaochi waved his hand, stepped over the coal boss who had been obediently lying beside him, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's just say it casually."

...It's just that he suddenly remembered the self who was always smoking a cigarette in the past.

Thinking of this, he opened the heavy curtain.

No one reacted when there was a loud bang, it was gunshots.

Chi Xiaochi was pushed back two steps by the force, looked down at his right chest, his body shook like a piece of paper, fell forward, and rolled out of the car bed.

Before Chi Xiaochi fainted, he heard only a trembling "Xiaochi" from 061, and immediately after that, his voice was drowned out by gunshots like popping beans.

Sun Yan was furious, pulled Sun Bin who was in the passenger seat, and covered his head with a down jacket: "Fuck you!! There's an ambush here!!"

But before he took out the burning gun from the tool box, he heard an almost violent roar, which made his legs go limp instinctively.

A pure black flying blade leaped out from inside the car, selected an abandoned car that was emitting flames, and plunged into it.

I saw the flesh and blood bursting and flying in all directions, splashing red on the only three remaining windows of the abandoned car in an instant.

Before the screams could even be heard twice, the man's headless corpse was thrown horizontally and hit the wall on one side.

A black shadow slipped out of the window like a ghost, and under the helpless volley of ambushers, it quickly sneaked to the next firepower point.

Seeing the corpse spots on the decapitated corpse, the team members all came up with an idea:

new human? !

Before he could think about why there were so many new humans hiding in the doorway of this seemingly dilapidated shopping mall, Sun Yan's eyes turned red, and he shot an outcropping new human in seconds, then took out a laser gun from under the seat, turned his head and shouted: "...Lan Lan!!"

Yan Lanlan understood, took out the gun, and directly fired at the opponent.

The ambushers never imagined that the opponent would have overwhelming firepower far superior to theirs, as well as a elusive, ferocious wild beast.

Chi Xiaochi woke up from the pain again, his head was a little unclear, and there were black stars and mosquito shadows flying in front of his eyes.

He felt himself being hugged.

The car was severely besieged, and Yan Lanlan, who jumped out of the car at the risk, couldn't carry him into the car, so she could only half-carry him, retreat while fighting, and retreat into the mall.

I don't know how long it took, but the gunfire stopped.

His ears were pressed against the ground, so he could clearly hear the familiar footsteps coming in from the door.

He barely opened his eyes, but the target he entered was not the boss he was familiar with.

——Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the black panther's mouth was full of blood, dripping blood dripped from its pale silver beard, and the muscles at the waistline stretched, throbbing violently like severed arteries.

It didn't have time to take care of its appearance, so it hurried to Chi Xiaochi's side, lowered its head and sniffed his chest.

Enduring the severe pain, Chi Xiaochi tore open his front: "Don't be afraid... I'm not hurt."

There was a piece of clothing with an iron plate on it, which was a simple bulletproof suit. The bullet got stuck on the steel plate at the position of his heart, and it was already deformed.

Seeing the bullet that hadn't shot in, the black panther breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt directly beside Chi Xiaochi, his eyes were misty blue, which didn't match the blood red all over his body.

Chi Xiaochi caressed its blasted spine, coaxing it in a low voice: "Boss, boss."

It lowered its head, not daring to hurt him with force, and only dared to bite Chi Xiaochi's hair.

When one person and one leopard were hugging each other tightly, a surprised and terrified male voice came from behind: "Qiu Yun?!"
