Ancient Gene [End Times]

"No, I just killed monsters. Let's go back and have a rest. We're leaving at one or two o'clock." He Siming paid attention to the surrounding situation, and pulled Qin An to go back.

Just as Qin An was about to speak, there was an explosion that caught everyone off guard.

People's ears are still buzzing, and the tall buildings not far away are burning into the sky, even in the daytime, they are dazzlingly red.

"An Zi." He Siming took a step closer, "Have you ever been there?"

Qin An shook his head. Although it wasn't far there, they didn't travel many times. Every time they went far, the direction of the explosion was not clear.

He Siming took out his mobile phone and looked at the map: "There is a commercial building over there. It stands to reason that there should be no flammable or explosive things. Even if there is a gasoline explosion, it will not be so serious."

"Compared to this," Qin An looked at the flames that were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, "I don't have the strength to put out the fire now. If such a big fire spreads, it will reach us soon."

There is a saying that fire and water are ruthless.There are still more than three hours before the expected departure time. Now that the plants are growing wildly and there is enough fuel, the speed and scope of the fire's spread is immeasurable.

He Siming picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Attention everyone, there is an explosion and fire near the 'home'. The relocation time may be advanced, so return to the camp as soon as possible. Repeat..."

The blue cat seemed a little anxious because of the explosion, so Xiao Sun patted the other side of the cat's neck to reassure the cat.

Qin An always felt that something was wrong, but he could strengthen his hearing, but he could only hear the sound of raging flames.

A group of people returned to the cold storage camp.

There were three groups of people in the camp.A group of people are still sewing tents, and some warm items that are easy to carry.A group of people are still making rough tools for offense and defense, and the rest is preparing ingredients that are easy to carry, and cooking a hearty meal for everyone before departure.

This trip, the whole team only brought two woks tied to the roof of the car. It would obviously take a lot of time to cook food for so many people.

However, some people form groups of three or five and bring a metal lunch box together. If there is enough fuel at that time, they can make a fire and cook by themselves.

The rice is fine, but the white flour is inconvenient to carry. Yesterday, a few women who knew how to make pasta were busy making the pasta. Now that the pasta has been woken up, it is made into steamed buns or pastries that are easy to carry.In order to prolong the shelf life, I also put some salt in it, and now a few pots have been released and are being cooled, and then distributed to everyone as dry food.

As soon as he entered the yard, he could smell the tangy aroma of food. Qin An, who didn't think there was anything at first, felt his stomach start to grow.

It was the first time that people in the base saw a mutated animal that didn't bite. At this time, more or less people came to take a look. The blue cat was not used to being surrounded by people. The cat kept rubbing its face against Xiao Sun and ignored others.

He Siming had notified them through the walkie-talkie that they were going to leave early. At this time, those who were preparing dry food came to discuss with He Siming. There was still a lot of dough that was too late to cook, so they couldn't throw it away.

"Take them all with you. There should be two or three hours to clean up when you go to the army, but you can make some more."

Dry food is more important than meat now.As far as meat is concerned, they have the ability to hunt and can hunt to obtain meat sources at any time, but rice grains are difficult to produce again in a short time, that is, they eat a little less.

Maybe people who eat only meat can survive, but the carbohydrates provided by the staple food are also precious.

Qin An thought about it, and said to the person in charge of catering: "Can you bake pies?"

"meeting."

Qin An said: "It will take some time for the pathfinders to come back, and the fire will not be too fast. Those pots will not be taken away, so there is no need to finish them. Now you are going to make some meat pies, and when you leave Just wrap the cake and leave, and you don’t need to worry about the pot.”

This is what Qin An just remembered. Since we are going out, we should save time as much as possible. There is still a lot of meat that is too late to deal with, so we can only take some of it away, and it is a pity that the rest can only be discarded.It's better to make it salty and bake it into a cake. Theoretically speaking, it won't go bad for ten days and half a month.Now that the weather is getting cooler, the shelf life should be longer.It is easy to carry and eat when made into pies, and it is also convenient to exchange with others when looking for supplies in the future.

The man turned around and organized the women to stop their work, stop steaming the steamed buns, and start making pies.

The few people who went out with Qin An in the front left two soldiers to continue to explore and guide the people during the migration, and the rest returned to the team.

Ke Chenguang and the captain of the soldiers studied the migration formation and predicted some dangers.

Ke Chenguang has been out of the army for three years. Although his physical fitness has declined, he still has a lot of experience.

Qin An enriched his backpack again and increased the load appropriately.

Water and food are indispensable, and a few high-calorie biscuits are stuffed in the corners of the backpack and the pockets of the clothes for emergency.Bedding also needs to be prepared, but it takes up a lot of space for one person to carry it all.He and He Siming shared a set, an effective moisture-proof mat, a rough and simple support tent and a blanket, which ensured the accommodation of the two during their travels.

The water resources that can be taken away are limited. After everyone brings as much water as possible, the remaining water level is averaged for everyone to wash.

It is also a helpless move, the world is difficult, and basically they haven't washed for several days, including Qin An.

Qin An doesn't even have a change of clothes now.I was bitten by the giant dog before, because Dr. Dongye cut it open during surgery, and now I am wearing He Siming's clothes.If it breaks again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to patch it at this time.

All the staff speeded up and prepared to move out. Qin An tidied up and took two bottles of water to wash up briefly in the hut.Wash your face and brush your teeth with half a bottle of water, and rinse your body with the remaining one and a half bottles of water.

There are a lot of people washing up, and the number of women is small. They all make do in the hut outside the cold storage. The rough men like Qin An just take off their bodies in the cold storage and simply wipe off.

He Siming had just finished arranging things, and there was almost nothing else to do. As soon as he entered the cold storage, he saw that the meat was all white.

Qin An's hair was naturally a little brown, and He Siming caught sight of Qin An who was wiping his body with a wet towel.

"Is there enough water?"

"Enough." Qin An poured some water on the towel.The blue towels have been blackened a lot. It’s no wonder they’re so dirty because they’ve come and gone from the fire and water these past few days. “Some washes are good. The next wash will probably be in Sichuan.”

Sichuan is rich in water resources, so I believe you can take a good bath there.

Qin An can't be said to love cleanliness too much, otherwise, after many years of traveling, there will definitely be times when it is inconvenient to take a shower.It's just that in the past two days, even Qin An himself has smelled a strange smell on his body, which really doesn't feel good.

He Siming took the towel from Qin An's hand and wiped his back.

"Wipe my back for me in a while." He Siming looked at the generous back, and couldn't help but reach out to pat it after two wipes, "You can see the advantage. You usually travel around and exercise all the time. I can see the muscles. I am so busy reading, if it is not for my major, I don’t know who has eaten it now.”

Qin An is good at exercising, and his physical fitness has always been good.Indeed, Qin An's ability to live up to now is also due to his usual hard work.

"There will always be a time to settle down, and then let the soldiers teach you more things. I want to join the army. Yesterday when I went out to find gasoline, I met an elephant. I saw the soldier throw mine directly into the elephant's mouth. gone."

He Siming didn't respond, changed the towel to a cleaner one, poured water on it and wiped it again.

I wiped it on my body again, and the stickiness in the past two days finally got better.

There was still half a bottle of water left, so He Siming rinsed his mouth. There was no toothbrush, only a tube of toothpaste that almost everyone could use.Squeezing on your fingers and rubbing on your teeth is better than not brushing at all.

After brushing his teeth, He Siming was about to take off his clothes when he heard two screams outside.

Qin An put on his clothes and ran out, followed by He Siming. As soon as he went out, he saw two centipedes over half a meter long climbing in the yard.

Qin An swung the fire ax he carried with him and threw it over there, and the ax just hit a centipede's head.The centipede's body was still writhing, but it was no longer a threat.

A soldier drew out his dagger, stepped on another centipede, and ended it with one blow.

The two centipedes did not pose any threat, but they were so big that it was hard not to notice them, and they were so disgusting that it made one's scalp tingle.

Qin An remembered the colony of ants he saw that day. Although he hadn't encountered it a second time now, it could be seen that the insects were also mutating.With such a quantitative base, if everything becomes bigger, it is simply the overlord on the ground.

He Siming fastened the button on his chest, walked over and pulled out Qin An's fire axe, stretched out his foot and kicked the centipede that was gradually immobile to make it turn over.

Squat down, look at the centipede's legs, then observe the shape and head.

"Anzi, do you have any memories? There was a documentary on TV when I was a child, recording prehistoric animals."

He Siming's major is paleontology, and Qin An certainly knows that this question is not for nothing.

"This also evolved in a prehistoric direction?" Qin An asked.

"Ancient centipede. Looking at the characteristics now, although it is somewhat different from the appearance restored by technology, it still has five or six points of similarity. I have also found similar discoveries in the mutant dogs I have killed before. So far, almost all the mutant animals I have encountered, They are all in reverse evolution, starting to evolve in the direction of their ancestors."

There were still a few people standing in the yard, and after hearing this, they peeped at each other.

"Humans are also animals. Why did this evolution directly surpass humans? It stands to reason that humans evolved later than most creatures, and primitive humans only began to exist during the mammoth period." Qin An kicked the centipede's corpse.

Originally standing at the top of the food chain, it has only been a few days since it has become a food that even insects dare to hunt. Few people can accept such a gap.
