Ancient Gene [End Times]

At dawn, the team set off again.

Qin An got a good night's sleep, and felt much more refreshed.At this time in the Northeast in previous years, there may still be some snow, but this year the temperature is still above zero.

The cotton coats of the team were wrapped in plastic sheets and hung on the roof of the car. Qin An and his party only wore the camouflage uniforms given to them by the army, and they did not feel cold when they were on the road.

Pandas eat plants less and less often, and hang out with the two big cats more, and like to play with things when they have nothing to do.Once a five-meter-high mutant emu attacked, and the two cats were still watching. The panda slapped the emu's head, and let everyone see the power of the bear.

"There was an earthquake a few days ago, and there were landslides in many places." Xiao Hai pointed to a certain location on the map: "This was a mining area decades ago, but it soon became empty. There was nothing before But when there was an earthquake, they all sank."

"We can only take a detour." Tian Gui frowned.I thought I could make it back before midnight.Today is New Year's Eve, of course he is anxious.

"It's not too far to detour. When we came here, we came from here. There are a few large animals here. There is a kennel and a zoo nearby, but there are very few conscious ones. But We now have three large mutant animals, and it must be easier than when we came here."

"Then go according to the time you came here." Tian Gui tapped the map, "The zoo does not rule out the possibility of ferocious mutant animals, but it should not be easy to find animals bigger than the three of us now."

Tian Gui looked back at the three giant beasts.The biggest one is the blue cat.Recently, the blue cat has grown up a lot and is already more than eight meters tall.Followed by pandas.Of course, it may also be because the panda itself looks very strong, looking more than seven meters tall.Although the white tiger looks small, the aura of the king of the forest is still very overwhelming.

Moreover, among the three behemoths, the white tiger has the most combat experience and is the most suitable for hunting.

Blue Cat followed Qi Yu for a period of time, and the others followed Qin An and He Siming.With the influence of the two of them, it is natural to mutate faster than other animals.

Tiangui glanced at everyone, and cheered up: "I don't know if you have seen what my house looks like in the news, but I can tell you that there is a peach blossom garden inside. No matter what the chaos outside, we can enjoy it inside. Everything is the same as before the end of the world. Now the goal is in front of us. Let’s get there soon, and we can take a clean hot bath, or even a bubble bath. I still have a lot of snacks, fruits, and canned food at home. Even sea cucumber and abalone Big lobster. Hurry up if you want to eat! I will treat you when I get there!"

"And the big lobster?" Bao Xinyu's eyes lit up.

"I'll eat it for you!" Tian Gui laughed.

"That's mine! Don't take it from me!" Bao Xinyu stood up from the roof of the car.

Ke Chenguang was ashamed for him.Glancing at him, Bao Xinyu turned his head and smiled brightly at him.

Ke Chenguang turned his eyes away, and then looked back at Bao Xinyu, who continued to look forward.

Besides He Siming and Qin An, there were also White Fish and Hei Niu on the blue cat.Qin An licked his lips and smiled at He Siming, "I want to eat big lobster too."

"We'll eat when we get there." He Siming said with a smile.

"What if he breaks his promise?" Qin An joked.

"Give it up." He Siming joked, "Anyway, he can't beat us."

Xiao Hai smiled and said: "Are you not afraid that your aunt will pick your skin?"

"It's fine if my master is here." Tiangui didn't have any psychological pressure.Besides, knowing that he is going home, even if he treats everyone to a seafood meal, he can afford it.

Lin Nuan.

The interior of the manor has returned to normal order, and the interior has also been improved in various aspects according to Lin Nuan's plan.The traps set on the edge of the manor have been strengthened several times. Generally, there will be no mutated animals invading. Even if there are, the guards and mutated animal teams in the manor are not vegetarians.

And Lin Nuan's latest plan is still an underground plan.Although the mutated mice and earthworms are already very powerful, they are relatively easy to deal with compared to the mutated animals on the ground.Lin Nuan wanted to build a large shelter underground, but it required a huge amount of manpower, material resources and even painstaking effort.

While Lin Nuan has to constantly update the security system in the manor, he also has to adjust the balance of the internal production chain at any time.The underground plan has to be put on the agenda, and time must be spared to study jade cards and high-tech aids in combat. It can be said that I wish I could come here for ten days.

Not only that, but also worry about why the bastard at home is still not home.If it was a time of peace, even if they knew that Tiangui was a special soldier and would be in mortal danger at any time, if they didn't go home for many years, the family wouldn't have much worry.But after the end of the world, I didn't see the child come back, and I was worried every day.

Lin Nuan was sitting in front of the main console, still considering whether to directly hack into the surveillance systems of other nearby organizations or even the military, to receive the signal from Dominating the Sky.

When the door knocked, Lin Nuan pinched her brows, "Come in."

The door opened, first a bowl came in, opened the door a bit more, then a walking stick came in, an old man walked in with the walking stick, his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were still clear.Wearing a clean old man's sportswear and comfortable old man's shoes, he looks quite lively.

"Smile, why don't you go to bed?" The old man walked in two steps, looked at the host page on the six screens in front, and shook his head, "Being too smart is not a good thing, and it's too tiring."

Lin Nuan hurriedly stood up, and took a look at the bowl in the old man's hand. It was a bowl of beef noodles. The beef inside was very thin, but there were plenty of ingredients, and it smelled delicious.

Lin Nuan held the noodles in one hand, and supported the old man with the other: "I can't sleep in broad daylight."

"You still have day and night when you're so busy?" The old man didn't need Lin Nuan's help either.Holding the crutches in both hands, he reached out and tapped Lin Nuan's forehead, "I didn't know you. When I was young, I read books day and night, and now I'm old and I still suffer all day long. You don't care how old you are. gone."

Lin Nuan is also five or sixty years old this year, but in front of the old man, she will always be a worrying child.

"Then I'll sleep in a while." Lin Nuan didn't argue with the old man, letting him sit for a while, "Look at the time, the little bastard will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The old man sighed: "If it had been two days earlier, I could have spent the New Year at home."

The older I get, the more I care about these reunion days during the festivals.

"It's good to celebrate the Lantern Festival at home." Lin Nuan leaned on the table, touched the keyboard, and looked at the content on the monitor, "I think Tianzhi should grow a lot when he comes back."

"This is the way of the world. Idiots have also matured." The old man thought for a while, and then said, "He should bring back a lot of people."

"Counting Xiao Hai and the others, there are thirty people less." Lin Nuan said.

"He Qi's student is probably in there too." Thinking of He Qi, the old man frowned, "It's a pity for Xiao He. If you say you are screwed, what a good boy, you just missed it."

"You've been saying this all your life." Lin Nuan shook her head helplessly.

Old man: "If you find me a son-in-law, I will stop talking about him."

Lin Nuan: "I think you are just worrying too much."

The old man: "I've been miserable for the rest of my life. You alone, and your eldest nephew. The boy Tianzhi has been with you for too long, and he's not getting the hang of it."

Lin Nuan: "I think Xiao Hai is a good kid."

The old man paused, then glanced at Lin Nuan, "I'm just such a grandson."

Lin Nuan blinked: "How dare you say him? My great-grandfather is also a grandson like you."

The old man choked, thought for a while, and took a step back: "It doesn't matter who it is, just don't let this child live alone for the rest of his life. If we are older, how will he live."

"Aren't I quite comfortable living alone all my life?" Lin Nuan said.

"Can you compare with him? You have ten minds by yourself. Do Tianzhi's parents have a smart one? The lack of mind is all on him." The old man shook his head angrily.

Lin Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his family of three had become heartless.But she also knew that there would be no point in arguing about this kind of matter.

People always think differently when they are old, and the elderly should not be too choked.

"You haven't had a good rest in the past two days. Go back to sleep first. Don't be disobedient. An old man in his eighties can't stand it. You will be back in about two days. When you come back, I will take you over to see you first. You first Go back to sleep." Lin Nuan gestured to help the old man up.

"I told you to go to bed, why did you urge me." The old man grabbed Lin Nuan's wrist, "Don't twist me, you're so stupid that your physique is not as good as mine, go away and go to sleep. "

One is in his eighties and the other is in his 50s, both of whom don't want to go to sleep and are urging each other to sleep.

Lin Nuan looked at the beef noodles and said, "Then let me finish eating the noodles. I'll go to bed after I finish eating."

The old man also felt sorry for his daughter: "Okay, eat quickly and go to bed, don't sit there!"

"Okay, you go back first."

After persuading the old man away, Lin Nuan sat back, looked at the beef noodles, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and ate it into his mouth.

The sliced ​​meat is cut with a meat slicer. The whole family likes the texture of the sliced ​​meat after being scalded, whether it is eating hot pot or daily tasting, they like it very much.

She has everything she wants to eat at any time, and it may be difficult for her eldest nephew to satisfy his hunger.Fortunately, they are almost home.

The old man came out of the basement and was not in a hurry to go back to the bedroom. Instead, he fetched a pot of water and went out into the yard.

At the door, a weeping willow is planted in the center of the yard.This year's weeping willows are different from previous years. Even in winter, the willow leaves are still fresh and swaying in the wind.

The old man leaned on a cane in one hand and a bucket in the other.Putting down the bucket first, he touched the same rough tree trunk with his rough fingers, stroked it carefully for a while, and sighed softly.

"I'm here to see you again." Touching the weeping willow, emotions surged into my heart for a moment.The old man pressed his head against the tree trunk, and the jade plaque on his chest fell out of his clothes, swayed twice, and hit the willow tree.

With a thought, the old man picked up the jade tablet and looked at the sun, and there was a word "午" in it.

"It's coming soon." The old man looked at it intently for a while, then looked at Liu Shu and smiled, "It's coming soon."

Afterwards, the old man poured the water in the bucket to the willow tree, and then walked back with the empty bucket.

"Wait a minute, it's time to gain weight."

The old man put the jade token into his clothes, the weeping willow moved without wind, and the leaves rustled.

Ghost place.

There were more mutated animals than expected, Tian Gui frowned, looked at the mutated animals that were constantly rushing around, his hands mutated into claws, rushed forward with a few strides and directly dealt with a mutated animal.

Xiao Hai mutated with one hand, and the power of the other mechanical hand was turned to the extreme: "Don't love to fight! As long as we insist on running for a certain distance, they won't be entangled for too long."

"I'm afraid they will come up faster than we can run!" Qin An frowned.

He Siming looked at a huge mouse with a height of nearly four meters rushing towards him from afar. He didn't hide the disgust on his face. He jumped up and grabbed its eyes blindly with his paw. He only waited for the mouse to fall to the ground. into the back of the rat's neck and severed its bones.

He Siming looked at the terrain. There were still some potholes nearby. It seemed that the front had not completely collapsed.

"Maybe we can use the underground mine!" He Siming said loudly.

"Jade card?" Qin Anduo knew He Siming well, so he immediately thought of it.

"Jade card?" Qin Anduo knew He Siming well, so he immediately thought of it.

"That's right! Let's go a little further and find a place with a larger gully. It should be able to cut off the connection between the two sides, at least to block those small mutated animals."

Solanum nigrum nodded and said: "This method is feasible! Heavenly ghosts, go find the terrain, let's block it here first!"

It's not that they can't beat them now, but it's too late!These mutated animals are obviously not limited to zoos and kennels. For some reason, there are a large number of mutated animals gathered here.At least much more than when Xiao Hai and the others came over.

"There's something wrong here." Tian Gui frowned and said, "Eggy! Please write down the coordinates here, and come over later to find out the situation when you have time!"

"Marked." Dominant Sky replied.

Juggernaut almost forgot what his name was.

Tiangui led the two of them, quickly dodged the attack of the mutated animal, went up to a high place, and looked around.

"There is a larger subsidence in the direction of two o'clock! And it is relatively open!" Tiangui shouted.

"All push towards two o'clock! Watch out for your feet!" Solanum nigrum shouted to everyone.

"understand!"

He ran a few steps in the opposite direction of everyone, and stripped himself neatly.The body has been covered with a layer of blue-gray, even if he is not wearing clothes, it will not irritate his eyes.

Qin An's body suddenly grew to a height of about four meters, becoming everyone's backing.

Qin An led the three mutated animals to stand in the back, and the others quickly evacuated to the place where Tian Gui and others found.

He Siming touched the jade card in his pocket, concentrated his energy, and only waited for the target location, and shouted to Qin An: "Come here!"

"Don't worry about me!" Qin An knew that the mutated animals here couldn't move him.

He Siming knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical, so he couldn't waste his time trying to persuade Qin An.

He Siming focused his eyes on the land that had collapsed in front of him, and used all the energy in his body to activate the jade tablet.

All of a sudden, the mountains shook.

The others had already made preparations and stood firm, while the area of ​​more than 200 square meters in front suddenly sank.Because there is a free place in the mining area below, the subsidence was very smooth this time, and it actually subsided for nearly six meters.

Many mutated animals that rushed over fell directly below.

Many mutated animals were quickly filled in this collapsed pit, and those mutated animals wanted to climb up, but they were surrounded by mutated animals blocking them, and soon they bit each other, and there were even fewer mutated animals that could climb up.

"Come here!" He Siming shouted again.

Qin An ran two steps in this direction, his body suddenly became smaller, and he jumped up.It just so happened that the blue cat also ran over, wanting to jump across the gap created by He Siming.

Qin An grabbed the blue cat, successfully helped the blue cat stand up, and jumped over.

After landing, Qin An had returned to normal size.

He Siming glanced back and pulled Qin An up: "Run!"

Before Qin An could catch his breath, He Siming dragged him away again.

He hasn't put on his clothes yet, and he doesn't have time to wear them, so he can only maintain a mutated appearance and run along with him.

When they had time to wait, those who got on the car got on the car, and those who got on the mutated animal got on the mutated animal, and ran out for more than ten minutes before completely throwing off those "chasers".

Wait for an hour to pass before being completely sure of safety.Qin An glanced back, smiled with lingering fear, "I haven't encountered such a large-scale mutant animal for some days."

"It's not that we didn't meet each other before, but we bypassed it because of the dominance of the sky." He Siming said, "We knew the danger here before we came here, but we were in a hurry, so we had to take a risk."

"But from this point of view, our speed is much faster than expected." Qin An said, "We should be able to arrive earlier."

"Let's work harder." Tiangui took out the walkie-talkie to check the time, "Try to get back before midnight, and still have a meal of dumplings."

"What if we don't prepare for it?" Qin An said.

"Even eating quick-frozen dumplings is better than nothing." Tian Gui wiped the blood of the mutated animal on his face, but unfortunately the blood was already dry and could not be wiped off.

"I really want to have a sip of dumpling soup right now." Qin An licked his lips.At this time, the wind is blowing and it is cool. If you have a sip of hot dumpling soup, you will definitely enjoy it.

"I just want to take a bath." He Siming said.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Qin An smiled.

"I can't ask for it." He Siming said.

When Bao Xinyu heard that the two were abusing the dogs again, he couldn't help but glance at Ke Chenguang.

"You want to wash too?" Ke Chenguang asked.

Bao Xinyu nodded, and almost blurted out that I also want to take a mandarin duck bath with you.

"Soon." Ke Chenguang also wanted to take a quick wash at this time.

The whole team hadn't showered for at least half a month, and the smell was so sour.

But there is no condition to take a bath, no matter how uncomfortable it is, I can only endure it.

At this time, there is nothing more tempting than a bite of dumplings and a pool of hot water.Just aiming at such a belief, they have inexhaustible strength.

The little sun on the white tiger said to Qiuling, "Doudou is injured."

"Is it serious?" Qiu Ling asked.

"It's all trauma." Xiao Sun said.

"Then don't worry about it, it's important to hurry."

The weather is getting darker, and the direction from home is shrinking a little bit.Tian Gui has already been able to recognize some place names he still remembers, almost counting the road signs to calculate the distance to his home.

"If we pass in a straight line, the left side may be a bit risky." He Siming looked at the map and said to the ghost, "But if we are fast enough, passing is not a problem."

"Think it's for a bite of the dumplings on New Year's Eve." Heavenly Ghost said: "Keep speed!"

There were many firecrackers in the manor, and the fireworks exploded in the sky, exaggerating the prosperity in the last days.

Lin Nuan was standing on the fifth floor of the only five-story building in the base, looking at the entrance.

Although she knew that according to the latest calculated data, it was unlikely that they would be able to come back before zero o'clock.

But this New Year's Eve, I can't help but miss the children outside more.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't come back, as long as the child is safe, everything is fine.

Lin Nuan sighed, heard the door open, turned around and her father walked in with a cane.

"The fireworks are quite beautiful." Lin Nuan said, "Looking at it now, it looks even better than before."

"The rarer it is, the more precious it is." Another firework exploded, and the old man stood beside Lin Nuan, "Don't worry, no matter what, Wenxuan's jade is also on Tianzhi's body. With that piece of jade, It's hard for him to suffer."

"There are so many people in the team, he can't easily use it." Lin Nuan said, "But in this world, even if people know that he has that piece of jade, it's not a big problem."

"That child is not small-hearted. That's all right, let's go downstairs to eat dumplings. It's past nine o'clock." The old man persuaded.

The New Year's Eve dinner that was eaten at [-] o'clock in previous years has not been eaten this year.Everyone knows that this is waiting for someone to come back.

"En." Lin Nuan helped the old man go downstairs, and when he got downstairs, he smelled the aroma of delicious food, and asked again, "Are Tianzhi and the others ready to come out?"

"It's ready, I prepared a lot more." The old man said, "They will eat it when they come back tonight. If it is cold, we can make it tomorrow."

The manor accommodated some refugees after the end of the world.However, the refugees rely on the points in the manor to exchange for food, and most of them are reluctant to exchange for too good food.

In the manor, those who have contributed more to the manor have good food on weekdays.And I seldom eat leftovers.Those leftovers are usually packaged into lunch boxes and distributed free of charge to those who live in difficulty.

There's nothing wrong with that, as long as food isn't wasted, there's no shame in distributing it.

But having said that, this still has a taste of "the rich wine and meat stink, and the road is frozen to death".

But this is not important.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the ghost had already smelled the smell of burning gunpowder in the firecrackers blowing in the wind from the direction of home.

The manor in front was brightly lit, in stark contrast to the bleakness of other places behind the secret room.

The corners of Tiangui's eyes were already wet, so he turned on the bright flashlight that hadn't been used for a long time, and shone it in the direction of home.

The signal was quickly received over there, and the same light returned to this side.

Tiangui holds the flashlight in one hand, and puts the other hand in front of the flashlight, covering it and releasing it, so as to transmit the message.

Soon, the mechanism at the gate of the manor was closed, and the eight-meter-high gate slowly opened.At a height of more than ten meters, there is an LED light. At the moment the gate is opened, four words are formed by small dots:

"Welcome home."
