Ancient Gene [End Times]

According to regulations, a group of people only have eight hours to eat and rest.From two o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the morning, there will be a rest period, and each team will be guarded by a different person every hour.

This time is not long, but it is enough to restore physical strength.The younger ones don't even care about eating when they put on their bedding, they just lie down and fall asleep. Some people are still worried about the future, and those who can't sleep also lie down to rest their minds.

Qin An and He Siming's physical exertion was greater than that of normal people, because they had to prepare for physical mutations at any time, and they were under a lot of physical pressure.

The guards did not arrange for them to be on duty. After eating and drinking a bowl of hot water, they lay down together and fell asleep directly.

Although only vegetables were provided, after the army found a water source nearby, they set up pots and began to boil water. Some pots also added ginger slices to the water. It was cold at night, so drinking a bowl of hot water at this time, It is also a luxury.

Ever since the end of the world, Qin An's nightmares have never stopped. This time it was rare that he didn't have a dream. When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock.

He Siming didn't know when he woke up, and Qin An wasn't in a hurry to find someone.Looking at the hot water supply nearby, I turned out the thermos, drank the warm water inside, and refilled it with boiling water.

I made a lot of dishes yesterday and didn't even eat them all. I added some more meat and dried vegetables this morning and made a hot soup.There were several food trucks with the army, and this time each sent a small packet of compressed biscuits.Compressed biscuits are high in calories, and with a bowl of hot soup, they are enough to support people to walk a long way.

Qin An had three pies left, seven or eight steamed buns in his backpack, and the compressed biscuits given by the army in his pockets and backpacks for emergency use.

Qin An was holding the broth and biting the meatloaf. When he looked up halfway through eating, many people were looking at him.

Qin An looked around, and they were all looking at the meatloaf in his hand.He could only laugh dryly, with so many people, it was impossible for him to share them, so he could only stuff the meatloaf into his mouth in two or three bites, and almost choked on the soup.

The people who finished eating were all starting to pack their luggage. Qin An had just packed up the bedding rolls when He Siming finally came back.

"Where did you go?" Qin An stuffed the thin blanket into his backpack.

"Contact Beijing. It's a pity that the distance is too far. The signal that can be received now is limited, the call is intermittent, and some texts will be lost. It is very difficult to contact."

"If that Qiuling didn't lie, it would be useless even if you contacted Beijing now. You know, your files cannot be transferred, so you can only wait until Beijing." Qin An opened He Siming's backpack and put the mattress Roll it up and stuff it on top.

"At least understand the situation in Beijing first. You know, the current world is different every year, and Beijing is also upside down. If there are too many changes, I don't know who to give the documents to when I go back. If I give it to someone with extreme ideas, That's not good for everyone."

"I don't understand this kind of thing. Have you eaten? The soup is good today."

"I've eaten." He Siming turned around, put his hand into Qin An's pocket, then pulled it back as if nothing had happened, and patted Qin An's waist.

This action is telling him to be more careful, mostly to make him pay attention, and to keep the things in his pockets from being seen by others.

Qin An understood.At this time, the horns carried by the army started to sound, and they were about to continue on their way.Everyone was almost ready, and after eight hours of rest, they all recovered their morale and physical strength.

Blue Cat has a wild temper, but he is very clingy to his grandson.A cat ran out in the morning, and everyone thought the cat ran away, but it ran back two hours later and dragged back a two-meter-long rabbit.

Looking at the blue cat's bulging belly, it was obvious that he was full and did not forget to hunt for his family.

Xiaosun has a somewhat withdrawn personality. Apart from talking to Qiuling, he also kisses cats.

After a long time, the team also found that Xiao Sun was not only close to this blue cat, but also the few other mutant animals in the team, Xiao Sun could get along very well.

Some of the owners of those mutated animals acted a little arrogantly because of the mutated animals, and even thought that they could become masters by relying on the mutated animals.But since discovering that Xiao Sun can also command their mutated pets, even more obedient than their command, each of them has restrained a lot.

With other people who can also command mutant animals to fight, the owners of these mutant animals become dispensable.Fearing that they would really be destroyed by humanity, they all behaved themselves.

Along the way, Qin and An were not far away from Qiu Ling and the others, and they could see all of this, and they were even more curious about them.

What He Siming gave Qin An was actually nothing important, just a few dried plums.If this had been placed half a month ago, Qin An would not have taken a second look.But traveling is boring now, and I can have some taste in my mouth.

A few dried plums, which are considered precious things now, should not be seen by others, and when Qin An was fine, he secretly stuffed one in his mouth to relieve his boredom.

He Siming himself had it too, and the two of them looked at each other with something in their mouths and smiled.

That day, I went from ten o'clock to seven o'clock in the evening, and then I reached the second resettlement site. Now the army only provides two meals before and after the break, and basically rely on the food I carry for the rest.Some young and strong people are reluctant to consume too much food, they only eat the food provided by the army, endure it when they are on the road, and lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye within two or three days.

In this way, after walking all the way for four days, the team has not been out of Tibet, but the team has been reduced by the siege of mutated animals.More than half of them died of infection without adequate medical conditions after the injury.

Now the use of antibiotics is not small, and fewer and fewer people may be saved.

After several days of observation, several military doctors also discovered that the current infection bacteria seem to have evolved, at least the speed at which the bacteria reproduce exceeds the speed at which the white blood cells can destroy the bacteria.

He Siming and Qin An have also joined in hunting mutant animals to varying degrees, and their evolution rate is getting faster and faster.A few days ago, it could only evolve to the wrist, but now, He Siming has been able to evolve both arms to give the enemy a fatal blow, and Qin An's arm can also be extended a few inches, and the evolved hand looks like crawling Although the animal's sharp claws did not do as much damage as He Siming's heavy blow, they had an absolute advantage in speed.

At this level of evolution, He Siming also has a preliminary judgment.Qin An's evolution direction is mostly reptiles, which is very obvious.And He Siming himself is obviously a mammal, and from the appearance point of view, he is more inclined to cats.

The blue cat is mostly petting to other people, and it is not intimate, but when it sees He Siming, it will act like a baby, which also proves that He Siming's evolution direction is a cat.

"We should be able to reach Sangri County today." Qin An looked at the phone map.

"The speed is much faster than expected. In this way, we should be able to leave Tibet and enter Sichuan within half a month." He Siming took a sip of warm water.

"But our goal is Yushu, and it will take a month to reach Yushu." Walking and fighting monsters every day like this is a bit boring, but it is also a great exercise for endurance.Now the two of them face mutated animals every day, both their own mutation degree and reaction speed have changed a lot.

"Drink some water. You may pass by the zoo ahead. I don't know what monsters you will encounter." He Siming handed his water bottle to Qin An.

Qin An took a sip to moisturize his dry mouth: "Looking at it now, if it's just getting bigger, you don't have to worry too much."

With so many people migrating under such circumstances, casualties are inevitable.But as long as most people are guaranteed to survive, then the human race is also preserved.

"Aren't you afraid of lions and tigers?"

"We also have big cats." Just as the blue cat was running around playing, He Siming waved at the cat, and the blue cat really ran over and sniffed He Siming vigorously.

He Siming reluctantly mutated his hand into a cat's claw, and the blue cat smelled a familiar smell, so it stuck out its tongue to lick it.He Siming licked the back of his hand for it. After the mutation, the back of his hand was covered with hair, and he was not afraid of the barbs on the blue cat.

"It seems to have grown a lot." Qin An stroked the blue cat's neck.The blue cat was brought back by Qin An, so the blue cat did not reject Qin An.

"When we first arrived, it was at most two meters tall, but now it is two and a half meters tall. Maybe when we arrive in Sichuan, it will be close to four meters in size."

Qin An's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then you think we can ride it? The cat runs very fast."

He Siming thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget about cats, it's easy to throw people away when they jump up. Dogs should be fine, especially dogs with high IQ and stability like German shepherds. I think there are still dogs in our team. There are really two people riding a dog, let's take a look at adopting a mutant dog when we have time."

Under the same body size, dogs are not as powerful as cats.Although the bite force has the upper hand, the cat's reflexes can outshine the dog's.

But in contrast, dogs are easier to control and more loyal, almost pointing to where to fight. For battles, it is easier to take care of the overall situation. It can be said that each has its own advantages.

"It's not that easy." Qin An shook his head and said, then looked at Xiaosun and said thoughtfully, "Maybe Xiaosun can really raise a mutant dog. So far, I haven't seen any animals behave badly in front of her. "

There are really people in this world who seem to be born with "animal relationship", as if they can get along well with all animals.

"Do you still remember that Qiu Ling said that she is also a mutant, but the way of mutation is different."

Qin An came to a sudden: "You mean the direction of Xiaosun's mutation is to tame animals?"

"Eight or nine out of ten." In this regard, He Siming's thinking is more comprehensive than Qin An's.Because he has more or less exposure to experiments on genes, he is relatively sensitive to such things.
