Ancient Gene [End Times]

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Qin An and He Siming were called to Lin Nuan's place to have their blood drawn.

"Now the higher authorities also need a record of your blood, but don't worry about it, it's a trivial matter." Lin Nuan said, "The vice chairman of the Military Commission will personally meet you in the afternoon. You have to talk about it, don't think too much. They didn't It is necessary to set you up. Anyway, I will arrange tasks for you, which are similar to the tasks they arranged for you. It is nothing more than the most difficult place in the country to conquer."

"Vice... Chairman?" Qin An and He Siming looked at each other in a daze.

Although I don't know how high that is, but those who can get the word chairman in the army are definitely leaders at the national level.

"That's why you don't have to think too much. You are ordinary people, so just treat it as meeting your father-in-law." Lin Nuan said.

This analogy seems inappropriate...

"I'm afraid of being nervous and saying the wrong thing." Qin An smiled wryly.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Lin Nuan said, "It's a good thing that you can attract attention now. It's good for you now that you behave mediocrely. And even though you don't have military status, you brought documents back from Tibet earlier. , Now go to Zhejiang again, and bring back things from their forbidden land, they are people who have made great contributions, and you are going to win awards, not to be criticized."

"Then we understand." He Siming nodded.

Lin Nuan continued: "But there is one more thing. In the future, in Beijing, the higher-ups may arrange for you to go on blind dates, with some mutant women, and have children. Even if you disagree, they may arrange various encounters or get close to each other in the future." Together. They are habitual offenders."

"We like men." He Siming frowned.

"I know this, and the higher-ups know it too. Both parents who are mutants are likely to give birth to children who are also mutants, and there is even a high possibility of becoming a higher-level mutant. Now we need this kind of data collection. The higher the level of people, the more attention they receive. With the future of all mankind under pressure, it is very difficult to refuse, no matter how bad it is, you will be asked to donate sperm, and they will conduct test-tube babies to obtain offspring."

Even if it's just donating sperm, it would be disgusting to think that your future child is a test subject.

Qin and An are not people who don't know how to think about the overall situation. You must know that they are fighting for the future of all mankind every day, and they also want to see a better world.

Even doing experiments on them would not cause much disgust, but when it comes to offspring, it feels disgusting.

When they decided to be together, they had already given up on the child and didn't want to bring this up again.

This was something the two of them discussed among themselves, all Lin Nuan could do was remind them.

"By the way, the ghosts and the others will be there in the afternoon." Qin An said.

"Both troops are here, the team remains the same, and the rank will be raised by one liter. It stands to reason that if the rank is raised, other positions will be assigned. However, they are all combat-type mutants, and it is most convenient to form a team together. In addition, There are second-class collective merit. Although you are not soldiers, you should be able to get certain rewards and treatment subsidies. You can use reward points to exchange for what you want." Lin Nuan said.

In fact, even if they don't have a single point, there is no need to worry about it. Tian Gui has space, and Lin Nuan has treatment.

With these two people around, the life of the team members will not be too bad.

Since there is such an important matter in the afternoon, the few people dare not leave indiscriminately.

Go back to the room to rest, those who play with mobile phones play with mobile phones, and those who play games play games.

When they received the notice around eleven o'clock, they all went to tidy up and change their clothes.The soldiers put on brand-new military uniforms, and everyone else put on formal clothes.

There are also requirements for hairstyles in the army.Female soldiers are fine, but male soldiers must be trimmed.

Qin An took He Siming to the place where the hair was cut in the army to watch them get their hair cut, and found that three female soldiers were also getting their hair cut.

Finding a place to sit down, watching Tiangui's haircut, turning to Caowu who is not far away, "I remember that female soldiers' hairstyles are beyond their shoulders."

When they first met, they both had short hair, and Mimosa's hair was the longest, and it didn't go over her shoulders.Now four months have passed, and their hair has grown a little.

"The special forces don't have that requirement." Cao Wu said, "Because the special forces have to face a lot of combat environments, which are also very complicated. Some places need to hide in the crowd. It is good to have long hair. As for the fear of being caught during the battle Hair, we still have experience to fight against this. And even in other places, it is not particularly strict. If it is an art troupe, it is basically all long hair. The guard of honor is also the same. There are quite a lot of grassroots long hair.”

"That's right. But it's troublesome to take care of long hair." Qin An had long hair before, and he has a deep understanding of this.

"It's okay, just get used to it. It's easy to get dirty when fighting." Cao Wu stroked the hair over his shoulders, "So I want to cut it, it's better to be neat."

Mimosa smiled and said, "I'll just keep it. It's not easy to grow this hair like this. Most of our combat targets will be monsters in the future, and they don't know how to scratch their hair. It doesn't hurt if this hair is coiled."

Most girls still like to have long hair, perhaps because they have been influenced by watching TV since they were young.Of course, there are also those who naturally like short hair, but that is still a minority.

Bao Xinyu was still hesitating.His hair is really long. In fact, he is used to taking care of it every day. He is in his adolescence, and his facial features are not bad.The hair has played a very good role in modifying the face, and the longer the hair makes him look softer, he has a bit of a Japanese handsome taste.

Bao Xinyu quite likes himself like this.

But seeing that all the men around him have short hair, and only the girls have long hair, such a comparison is a little stressful for him.

I could only turn my head and ask Ke Chenguang: "Uncle Ke, do you think I should cut it too?"

How did Ke Chenguang know this.In his eyes, Bao Xinyu looks good even if he is shaved.

"See what you like." Ke Chenguang said.

"But your hair is so short, I'm afraid people will call me a little girl when I go out." Bao Xinyu stroked his hair.

In fact, this hair feels really good, and it's quite relaxing to touch when you're free.

"Don't think too much. You just need to know whether you are a man or a woman. You don't have to care about other people's opinions." Ke Chenguang said.

"That's right." Bao Xinyu loosened his hair, pulled it back and tied it.

Mimosa looked at it for a while, and said, "You should perm your hair, or use a curling iron to do it every day. It looks better than it does now."

"That's not more like a little girl." Bao Xinyu said helplessly.

"That's more masculine than you are now." Mimosa said, "Many football stars have hair. Can you say that it doesn't look like a man? It depends on how you take care of it. You just stand with half of your hair standing up in the back like this. It's okay when you are sitting there, if you just look at the back, you do look a bit like a girl. It will be much better if you have a perm."

Bao Xinyu looked into the room and said, "Is it possible here?"

"How is that possible." Mimosa shook her head, "At most there is some hairspray here. There must be some outside. You can get your point card, and it won't cost you many points to go out for a perm. Later, you can take a vacation and go shopping when you go out. This Beijing doesn’t say that the recovery is similar to before, at least the level of the second and third tier cities is there.”

"Then when can I have a holiday?" Bao Xinyu looked at Tiangui who was getting a haircut.

"Probably come back from Hanzhong. I will apply for a day's leave from above." Tiangui said.

In fact, their rest time is not short, except that they are a little tired during the journey, but when they stop, they have enough rest time.

But when I come to Beijing, I always have to take a stroll around during my break.

"It feels like a long way to go." Bao Xinyu threw himself on Ke Chenguang who was next to him, "According to our speed, it will take about two months to go back and forth. Then we have to deal with the ant nest and the praying mantis colony. God knows how difficult they are to deal with. "

"Don't worry about going back and forth. There are planes to pick them up. As for how to deal with them, there should be a way from above. And even if it is head-to-head, we don't have to be afraid now."

"Thinking of those ants makes my scalp numb." Bao Xinyu curled his lips.

After everything was packed, Qin An and He Siming both changed into formal suits.There is a little hairspray in the hair.Looked a lot more energetic.

I am used to wearing sportswear, and my hands and feet feel tight when I wear a suit. Qin An looked at himself in the mirror, straightened his tie, and turned to He Siming.

"Handsome?"

"handsome."

"The answer is fast enough." Qin An also looked at He Siming.

He Siming himself has a gentle temperament, and he really looks like a social elite in a formal suit.

Even if there is no apocalypse, He Siming has at most graduated with a Ph.D. and has just entered society.After several months of polishing in the last days, He Siming has lost his greenness. Looking at it this way, it is really quite interesting.

In contrast, Qin An's face was a little tanned, and he didn't stand out so well when standing together.

"He's pretty handsome." Qin An reached out and pinched He Siming's face.

He Siming pinched him, and stretched out his hand to straighten his collar: "Are you mentally prepared?"

"No." Qin An said truthfully, "I have nothing in my heart."

"me too."

The two looked at each other, sighed lightly, and fell in love with each other.

"At that moment, let's stand together, whoever runs away is a bastard." Qin An said.

"We're not so worthless, are we?" He Siming said helplessly.

Qin An grabbed He Siming's hand: "You think you are very promising."

As long as he is promising, he will not have a crush on Qin An for many years without saying a word.

"Okay, whoever runs away is a bastard."

The people over there came to call for someone. When Mimosa passed by the two, she stretched out her hand and pulled Qin An's hair: "Let's go, show off your affection."

The soldiers in front, two special forces captains stood in front, Qin An was the first among ordinary people, followed by He Siming, then Ke Chenguang and Bao Xinyu.Xiao Sun stood at the end.

The vice chairman of the Military Commission who will be meeting next, even if he is not the top leader, is infinitely close to the top leader. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous.

Qin An and the others went to a room first, where there were soldiers standing guard, and various people walked by from time to time.

A soldier led several people into a hall.There were more than a dozen rows of red seats inside, and the middle and back were already full of people, only the two front rows were half empty.This time they are the protagonists and are placed in the first row.

The atmosphere was very serious. It was the first time Qin An saw such an atmosphere, and his palms were sweating.He didn't dare to turn his head, but just looked at the front stage, where several people who looked like leaders were sitting on it, reading documents one after another.

Then, as time went on, people began to come to power, and after merit was solemnly stated, they were promoted through the ranks.

It wasn't until Qin An persisted in the long-term high tension for two hours and felt sleepy that he finally read the names of Tiangui and others.

This time, it wasn't just them. After the general soldier read it, the names of several ordinary people in Qin An also appeared in that person's mouth.

Tiangui and the others stood up and walked onto the stage with a positive step, while Qin An and the others followed behind with confused expressions.Qin An watched as they all stood at attention and looked ahead, and followed suit.

After that, the resumes and deeds of the ten special forces members were read one by one, and after each person's military rank was raised by one level, a certificate of merit was also issued.

One is a collective second-class merit certificate for sending documents back from Tibet, and the other is a collective second-class merit certificate for bringing important materials back from Zhejiang.

In fact, the group's second-class work in sending materials back from Tibet is somewhat deserved. After all, when they got the documents back then, they were not sent back to Beijing immediately, but were sent to Lin Nuan first.

But since the higher ups don't pursue these things, it's fine to keep the certificate.

More than a dozen people came up with things in their hands.A man got up from his seat, reworn the epaulets and armbands for each soldier, then put on the medals and distributed the certificates.

In the end, the two special forces captains each received a certificate.What Tiangui had in his hand was a certificate of award for obtaining important documents from Zhejiang, and what Solanum nigrum held was a certificate of award for bringing documents back from Tibet.

Several ordinary people in Qin An also received medals and certificates, but they were all commendations, not the same as soldiers.

But on such an occasion, it is already a great honor for a few ordinary people to sneak in.

When the man came to Qin An, Qin An only raised his eyes and glanced at him. The man smiled at Qin An, his eyes were not very big, and his smile was kind and shrewd.

It's hard for Qin An to explain that kind of temperament clearly, but he just thinks that this person must be a big shot.

This feeling is very confusing, just by looking at it, you can know the importance of this person.

Afterwards, the person who issued the award took half a step back, and both sides saluted the military salute.

Qin An subconsciously followed suit with a military salute, and then realized belatedly that he was not a soldier.But it's not a soldier, so saluting the military shouldn't be a problem.

Then he said a few more words.It's a pity that Qin An's head was buzzing. He heard what he said, but he quickly forgot it.

Finally, the person carrying the things went down, and several people stood on both sides to make room for the middlemost position.That person was standing in the middle, and someone below took a picture.

Photos were taken and music played.Qin An couldn't remember what kind of music it was, but he was very familiar with it anyway.

Finally, the people on the stage spoke again, and this time the promotion ceremony ended with applause.

When the people dispersed and the group was brought into a small office, Qin An was a little dazed.

When he finally came back to his senses, he looked around at other people, then looked down at his medals and certificates, and blinked.

Looking at Tian Gui, Tian Gui gave him a wink and signaled him not to move.

After a while, two soldiers came in escorting the man who had just presented them with a certificate.

Tian Gui and the others stood at attention and saluted.

The man smiled and shook hands with the two special forces captains.

"You are all good comrades. You have worked hard these days. Sit down first, don't be so reserved. We don't have many peaceful places now. It's still safe here, so don't be too serious."

There was a circle of chairs in the room, and everyone sat down, only the two soldiers stood at attention behind the man.

Only then could Qin An be sure that this person was the vice chairman they wanted to meet.

"From the day of the 1027 mutation to now, you have been fighting against mutant creatures almost every day. This is worth learning from."

October 27 last year was the day of the global mutation, and this day should be recorded in history as the 1027 mutation.

"The responsibility lies." The ghost said sincerely.

"I have read your resume. Your great-great-grandfather was the head teacher during the founding of the country. Both your parents died in the mission. And you have also confirmed the saying that a tiger father has no dogs. Serve the country loyally , nothing more than that."

"I'm ashamed." Heavenly Ghost also didn't know how to answer.I can only come humbly.

The vice chairman of the Military Commission turned his attention to Qin An and the others: "You are all good. Although you have not joined the army, you have deeply implemented the spirit of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice, and you have done your part in this troubled world."

It's hard for a few people to say anything.I don't know what to say.

After each of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission commented a few sentences, he changed the topic: "You still need young people like you. Only with you can we have the courage to face the monsters outside. You are our country, and you may be The world's top mutants. Personally, I sincerely hope that you can take the lead and become a model for those sons and daughters who are still working hard. You must carry out our traditional Chinese spirit of not being afraid of hard work and not afraid of sacrifice. The future of the motherland, and even the entire human race, belongs to you young people."

If these words were heard on TV, Qin An would definitely think that they were official words, spoken for people to hear.But at this moment, listening to the ears, but incomparably sincere.It feels weird.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.It's as if it's the same as others.If several people are speaking Mandarin, or even chatting in Internet language, and suddenly a "scholar" comes to talk about it, you will definitely think that this person is a performance artist, or is too pretentious.Anyway, it's not normal.

But if you hear this at the poetry conference, you can't wait to kneel and listen, and you can say any praise.

That was about it at this point, the scene was too solemn, too serious.At this time, if it is the same as usual, it will feel very strange.

After talking for a while, the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission actually said more.What they said were all words from the standpoint of the country and the standpoint of all mankind.After speaking, he shook hands with everyone and left.

When it's over, they can leave.

When they walked out of that tall building, everyone was a little bit exhausted.

This is the first time in my life to participate in such a solemn occasion, and there is an illusion that every step I take will be recorded in the annals of history.

If it was in a battle with mutant animals, Qin An would feel like a hero in the battle.But standing here, I deeply feel that I am so small that I am almost invisible.

In fact, he really didn't have much awareness to become the hope and model of mankind, and he didn't think too much about it.

Even though he knew that he had the highest degree of mutation, he just felt that he could protect himself.

It's just that after standing there and listening to the words of the chairman of the military government, I always feel that there is a heavy burden on my back.

With the halo of mutation gone, Qin An is actually just an ordinary person through and through.

Qin An glanced back and touched the medal on his chest.

"Let's go." He Siming gave a hand.

"I feel like I'm dreaming." Qin An said sincerely.

"Take it as a dream." He Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how I feel now in retrospect, at least the feeling now, I just feel that it is good to come out.

Like Tiangui and the others, their military ranks will get higher and higher in the future, so they should come and go to such places more often.

I hope ordinary people like them don't.

They don't have much ambition, and the status quo is fine.

After the end, it was already past four in the afternoon.This time is their free time.

Everyone gets points cards.This point card is equivalent to the ID card here, and you need to swipe it everywhere.

Qin An's card is five thousand points.Among them, [-] points are reward points for two meritorious service, and [-] points are guaranteed points for joining Beijing as a member.He Siming is five hundred more than him, which is the extra points from the Ph.D. in paleontology.

A Ph.D. in paleontology is worth 500 guaranteed points, and it can be seen how valuable these points are in Beijing now.

Xiaosun still has to train mutated animals, and he has made a greater contribution than Qin and An. There are [-] points in the card, while Ke Chenguang and Bao Xinyu both have [-] points.

Tiangui also has [-] points, and the other people already have point cards in their hands, and Qin An didn't ask how many points they have in their point cards.

These points are definitely a huge sum of money in today's Beijing.

Before dark, it is considered free time.After the sky is completely dark, there is a curfew in Beijing, and travel is prohibited.

Everyone will go to Hanzhong tomorrow to deal with the two broods of worms, and today it is normal to go out for a stroll before it is dark.

They went back to say hello to Lin Nuan, Xiao Sun went back to train the animals, and the other fourteen people left the compound of the military area together, and first went to the most prosperous street after the end of the world to take a look.

Beijing is still full of high-rise buildings, and the various signboards are still there, but there are not many shops opened.Most of them are clothing stores, and restaurants account for very few.There are quite a few cosmetics stores, and slogans similar to sale and clearance are posted on the glass doors.

The five girls went straight to the cosmetics store and got in, and then there was a burst of laughter.

He Siming pulled Qin An up and walked over: "Let's take a look together."
