Ancient Gene [End Times]

A fire was set up at the door, because not long after it rained, there was no dry firewood, so we had to burn clothes to make do.The pure cotton clothes are good to say, those unknown materials burn a lot of smoke, so they can only support a little farther.

Such a situation is not suitable for barbecue, so cut the mutated mutton left over into slices, cook it for a while, put it on the noodles, and then pour a little instant noodle seasoning, the taste will be attractive enough.Simple noodles can only supplement some carbohydrates, which is not enough to support people to live.

After everyone ate noodles and filled their stomachs, Ke Chenguang cut another piece of meat, cut it into pieces, used it as ingredients and put it in two lunch boxes for stewing, and put the unused clothes into the fire one by one The fire continued in the heap.

Bao Xinyu squatted beside Ke Chenguang, sniffing the scent coming out of the lunch box, swallowed and said, "It smells so good."

"Save this for dinner." Ke Chenguang opened the lid and flipped it with chopsticks, "Simmer for at least an hour before it tastes good."

"I don't see that you can cook." Bao Xinyu was a little surprised. In order to save time these days, his food has always been simple, but he didn't expect it to be refined again.

"It's very simple." Ke Chenguang has been living alone since he left the army.I don’t earn a lot of money from work on weekdays. If I want to eat good food, I can only learn how to cook it myself.

"Then you teach me?" Bao Xinyu finally understood, as long as he has learned it, he can cook whatever he wants in the future.

"Let's find a place to settle down." Ke Chenguang watched Bao Xinyu staring at the lunch box, and said helplessly, "Go and rest, too. You should rest this afternoon and don't rush on your way."

"Oh." Bao Xinyu reluctantly glanced at the still stewed meat.

After filling his stomach, Qin An took out his phone and showed it to He Siming: "My phone seems to be bricked and can't be turned on. Do you want to keep it?"

In this world, the mobile phone is useless at all, but it is a pity to throw it away, after all, it is quite expensive.But take it with you, this thing is quite heavy.

"Keep it. Isn't there something recorded in it? It's also very important. I'll see if I can fix it when I have time." He Siming still cares about the phone.

"That's right." Qin An's physical strength was severely exhausted, and he was very sleepy at the moment. He yawned and fell asleep after a while.

The others were also somewhat exhausted. Facing an unprecedented horde of beasts today, they were a bit overwhelmed by the huge consumption of the battle.

Dichlorvos and Hei Niu were on guard, and the others took turns sleeping and resting.

Qin An woke up only when the sun slanted to the west and the light dimmed.When he was about to get up, he looked down and found that He Siming hugged him tightly.

Sometimes Qin An also finds it strange that He Siming seems to be used to hugging things while sleeping.The two of them have slept in the same bed before, and He Siming has never seen such a hobby.

After thinking about it, it can be explained that the world has changed. He Siming has no sense of security, so he is used to holding something.After all, falling asleep with something in your arms is an instinct that people have had since childhood.You may forget it when you grow up, but when you feel uneasy, this is the best placebo.

Qin An took He Siming off and sat up, Tiangui and Yinhu both woke up, sitting outside the door by the fire and talking.The big tiger is gone, and Doudou and the third cub are rarely reunited. At this time, mother and child are deeply in love.

Xiao Sun and Qiu Ling slept next to each other, and it was obvious that they had changed their clothes.This is a clothing store, and these clothes are also unowned.

Only then did Qin An remember that the clothes he was wearing were almost torn to pieces.

Although the mended clothes can still be worn, but who would wear out new clothes?

The thick clothes on the shelves have not been moved. It just so happens that the weather is getting cooler now, so they should wear thicker clothes.

Qin An's body muscles will swell after the mutation, and a tail will grow out of the back, so he has a lot of requirements on the clothes.Qin An deliberately picked out a set of clothes and pants that were one size larger, and went to the fitting room to change.

As the old saying goes, clothes make a man, and with these new clothes on, he still looks a bit handsome.

Qin An's side is not beautiful enough, Yinhu came in, saw what Qin An was wearing, and shook his head: "New clothes will wear your body, it's better to wear old clothes."

Of course Qin An understood this, but the old clothes were really torn.

"My body is about to rot." Qin An said with a helpless smile.

Silver Fox went to the shelf to look, and picked up a pair of loose sweatpants.

"Then wear this, it should be more comfortable. Put something on your shoulders, otherwise it will wear out." There are only a few pieces of sportswear in this store, but the quality seems to be good.

Qin An went to change into his trousers, and then went to choose his coat.

It's a pity that I can't find a vest. It's better to have a lot of pockets.Although it is ugly, it can hold a lot of things.

After a while, Xiao Sun woke up.The white tiger also came back with a mutant mouse about one meter long in its mouth.

Seeing that it came back, Xiao Sun hurriedly hugged the cheetah puppy to the white tiger. The white tiger put down the mouse, sniffed the cheetah, felt the smell of peas, stuck out his tongue to lick off the smell of peas, then picked up the cheetah and released Next to the mutated mouse, it should be feeding the cubs after hunting.

But obviously, the cheetah puppy has just grown teeth, and it is still very difficult to eat meat, so he gave up after opening his small mouth for two bites.The white tiger was obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the new cub, and opened his mouth to bite off the mouse's skin, allowing the cheetah to walk over. The cheetah could only lick the blood from the mouse.

The white tiger was lying next to the cheetah, touching the cheetah with its paw from time to time, wondering why this cub was so worthless.

Xiaosun communicated with Baihu in the past, and after several fights, he got the ownership of the mouse.Originally, the white tiger came back after eating, and this mutated mouse was captured and fed to its cubs.Now the cheetah doesn't eat it, and it's useless for the white tiger to ask for it. It can catch new ones whenever it wants to eat them.

Xiaosun pulled the mouse's ear, and pulled it to Doudou, who was hiding on the other side, and let Doudou eat it.Doudou still needs milk cubs, so he needs to eat more.

Doudou looked at the white tiger with apprehension, the white tiger glanced at Doudou, then turned around and pointed its tail at Doudou, sweeping it impatiently.

For dogs, wagging the tail is a sign of happiness, which is the complete opposite for felines.Doudou completely misunderstood what the white tiger meant, and thought that the white tiger was showing affection to it, so she couldn't help but feel relieved, bowed her head and ate the meat.

Hearing his mother's voice, the cheetah raised its head and barked, and was about to crawl towards Doudou. When the white tiger saw it, it stretched out a paw to block it.

Left and right are in the same team, and they are not afraid that Doudou will not see the cubs.

Qin An slept and was hungry again. Looking at the rest of the team, he felt ashamed to eat by himself.After tidying up the supplies in the backpack, I was considering whether to bring two more pairs of pants, otherwise if I changed again and damaged the pants, I would have to wear crotch pants.

When He Siming woke up, he felt that there was no one around him. He sat up and slowly opened his eyes. He first looked around for Qin An, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

"Turn what?" He Siming asked.

"I'll see if there's room for an extra pair of trousers."

He Siming yawned: "It's really impossible to sew a magic sticker on the trousers. When it mutates, the tail will directly drill out, and it will be glued back after the battle."

Qin An is a mutant of a reptile, and his tail is a very useful weapon, but every time he transforms, his butt will be exposed, which is really a headache.

"Where can I find that material?" Besides, Qin An doesn't know needlework, and there are few people who know needlework now.At most sewing and mending, it is difficult to remake pants.

"Then pick two more, and I'll carry them for you too." He Siming stood up and walked to Qin An's side to look at Qin An's new clothes.

"Put it on?"

"My clothes are almost rotten." Qin An smiled wryly.

"In this world, there are not many clothes that can last for two days. It's normal." He Siming didn't care.In the last days, people with cleanliness will also become dirty.There is no water to wash your face, and it is a luxury to have enough water to eat.

"It seems that there is no need to hurry tonight." Qin An said.

"The amount of fighting today is too much, and it will be too much to walk any longer." He Siming also went to pick out a thicker coat for himself.It's a pity that at this time, there are no stores offering down jackets and cotton coats.I don't know how long it will take on this road.Maybe you won't be able to walk until it snows, and keeping warm will be a big problem.

The silver fox came in from the outside again, looked at the two of them and said, "It's time to eat here, are you hungry? If you are hungry, eat first, and those who are asleep wake up and cook by themselves. The clothes are quite choking when they burn, but it's enough , keep burning without wasting anything.”

Qin An happened to be hungry, so he zipped up his backpack and went out to eat.

Ke Chenguang's stewed mutton has become the best side dish. It was stewed before and has been left on the stove. Now it is heated on the fire. When eating noodles, pickles and two pieces of stewed mutton that melt in the mouth are called one. Comfortable.

Now noodles are the basic "marching food" for their group, which is easy to carry and easy to eat.After calculating the amount everyone brought, it would definitely be fine to eat for two weeks.Although it is easy to get tired of eating for a long time, it is much better than eating barbecue.

Tian Gui took out a small can of dried shrimp from his backpack and opened it: "I just remembered that I took two cans from that convenience store. These things are quite good to eat."

Tian Gui pinched a little dried shrimp in his lunch box and sprinkled it on, and then passed it on to the next person.

Silver Fox smacked his chopsticks: "The boss is still thoughtful." When he left, he was only thinking about the staple food and ingredients, so why didn't he think of something like dried shrimps to enhance the taste.

Qin An also pinched a little and put it into the noodles, and poured the pickles directly into it and mixed it, and it tasted even more delicious when eaten with the mutton.

"That means being the captain, you have to think about everything." Qin An said with a smile.

"I can't help it. Life is hard enough, and you have to have fun in it." Tiangui looked at the flames, "It's good to have food and drink, and mutant animals are also easy to kill. In fact, humans are much scarier than those monsters, at least They can't use guns."

In fact, in this case, at least in terms of the current degree of mutation of mutant animals, the number of special forces sacrificed has been reduced a lot.Compared with these simple-minded mutant animals, those vicious enemies are more terrifying.

He Siming remembered that Tiangui had said that his father died early, and Ke Chenguang once said that his father was the king of soldiers, and that his early death was mostly due to the mission.In fact, dying at the hands of mutant animals is better than dying at the hands of the same humans.Of course, it's best not to die.

"According to the current speed, it is still early for us to leave Tibet. If we continue to walk on two legs, we may not be able to reach the northeast in a few months." Qin An said suddenly.

"Indeed, you can't put all your hopes on mutated animals. Try to find two cars tomorrow, as far as you can drive." Tiangui nodded.

"It's completely possible to ride a donkey to find a horse. If you have a car, drive it first. If Xiaosun finds a suitable mutant animal, we will talk. Animals are livestock after all, and there are many people who are inhumane. If there is no support from Xiaosun's ability, you can do it with mutant animals. The risk factor is higher in one place," He Siming said.

Especially mutated animals, even if they are rational animals, it is difficult to control their temper.Needless to say, cats, pet dogs raised in the past would bite their owners twice when they were in a bad mood, not to mention after the mutation.

"In the future routes, gasoline should also be collected as important supplies." Qin An said.Their team is considered a strong labor force, so there is no need to worry about food for the time being.

Qiu Ling also woke up, went out and sat by the fire, looked at the freshly cooked noodles, and yawned: "It's getting colder and colder at night now."

"Indeed. It's November now." Tiangui nodded.

"It's a good thing." Qiu Ling said.

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Qin An asked.

"What's so scary. There are residential buildings all over the place, and you can find cotton clothes if you go into two or two, and you can bring quilts if you don't think it's too heavy. But those mutated animals don't have so many options. Even if they don't hibernate, the cold weather will Reducing travel is of course good for us."

Qiu Ling thought of this before He Siming.

He Siming looked at Qin An, and then at Ke Chenguang who was resting in the room: "What about the evolution direction of reptiles?"

"You should study this yourself." Qiu Ling didn't understand this.

Qin An did sleep a little deeper in the past two days, but it was not so deep that he could not wake up. He only joked: "There is a saying that spring sleepiness, autumn exhaustion, summer nap, and three months of winter when we can't wake up, we humans also have to hibernate."

Everyone in the circle laughed.

After eating, it was already dark, and several people gathered together to look at the map and discuss.

Now, it is relatively safe to take the expressway, and the journey is relatively flat, but you still need to be careful on the few journeys that are very close to the mountains.Therefore, the rest points at each station must be determined, and at the same time, supplies must be replenished regularly, especially water. This is the main problem that needs to be solved.

After studying for a while, Qin An said with a headache: "It's better to just snow, at least the snow can be collected and boiled to drink."

"Don't worry about it. For the time being, bottled water should be easy to get. As long as the river water keeps flowing, you can drink it after filtering and boiling." He Siming comforted.

"Go and rest. I have had enough rest today. Tomorrow, I will speed up and walk a little longer to try to reach the next county. In this way, the danger of living in buildings or shops will be much reduced. If you are slow and sleep on the street, I see if you can do it." Fall asleep." The ghost simply arranged a vigil, went into the house and spread the unburned clothes on the floor.

I was exhausted during the day today, so take more rest today to recover my strength and energy.

"We still have to walk for a few days before arriving in Sichuan?" Qin An returned to bed, and He Siming lay beside him.

"Did you say you can see pandas in Sichuan?"

"You'd better pray that we don't run into each other," Qiu Ling said with a smile.

"why?"

"That's a bear." Qin An said, "Even if you don't mutate, it's easy to tear people apart with those teeth. If you start to eat people after mutating, look at the white tiger at the door, it's estimated that it can be killed in a few rounds and used as a cushion use."

For a long time, the impression is that pandas are national treasures that rely on their cuteness to attract fans, which makes most people forget the combat effectiveness of pandas themselves.

Tiangui thought about it and said, "I heard from someone that the iron-eating beast in ancient legends is a panda. According to legend, it was Chi You's mount in the battle of Zhuolu. Do you think about the level of combat power?"

Bao Xinyu thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "If there are any crazy ones, can Sister Sun be subdued? If we have a giant panda, it will fight if it looks good!"

Everyone peeped at each other and laughed.He Siming said: "Go to sleep, let's talk about this kind of thing when we meet."

It would be great if we could meet each other, but it's not necessarily an enemy or a friend, these are two different things.In the current situation, if they really met a mutated giant panda, it would be their own bad luck.

I slept for a while before, but now I lie down at night, and I can't fall asleep.

After hearing several voices tossing and turning, Bao Xinyu finally spoke first: "Why don't we tell some stories and get to know each other."

There were a few sleepy ones who didn't respond, and others who were not sleepy. After thinking about it carefully, they really knew very little about each other.

He Siming smiled and said, "I don't have any stories to tell. My recent life is more exciting than my previous 20 years."

Except for some family matters, He Siming's other matters are basically related to his studies, so he has nothing to say.

"I know him well," Qin An said with a smile, "it's really nothing. Tell me about me. I have traveled all over the world these years and have been to many places."

Qin An talked about the interesting things he heard and the customs of various places, and directly said that two of them slept together.

After he finished speaking, those who listened to the story still had something to say.

Tiangui thought for a while and said, "I joined the army when I was 17. My dad, you should have heard from the squad leader that he is quite famous in the army. From the day I joined the army, everyone called me Longying's son. .At that time, I was young and I couldn’t get angry, so I trained desperately. It’s quite shocking to say that my dad’s grades back then were put there. I surpassed everyone around me, but I just couldn’t meet my dad’s standard. .”

Qiu Ling said: "He is the elite of the super race. If he can be surpassed by you, is he still called a super race?"

Tian Gui sighed: "Now I think about it, how can I control that at that time. But then again, although I can't surpass him, I can feel that I am getting closer to him in the process of chasing him. My dad is 15 years old. From then on, I was basically in the army and rarely went home, so there were very few images at home. I went up step by step through training, and I got to know him more and more in flesh and blood."

Bao Xinyu thought for a while and asked, "Then... can I ask your mother?"

Tian Gui didn't care, and said, "It's missing."

"I'm sorry." Bao Xinyu also knew that he was impolite.

"It's nothing." Heavenly Ghost is used to seeing life and death, and has no taboos about it. "Actually, I was raised by my grandfather when I was born. My parents are both special forces, and they perform missions together in the same team. Five When I was [-], my father disappeared first, and not long after my mother disappeared while performing a mission, and there is no news at all until now. The place where the disappearance was originally inaccessible, and it is impossible to find out in a sensitive area."

Qiu Ling checked the timeline and asked, "When did your aunt join that project?"

"In the same year, it was almost two months after my father died, and then I suddenly quit when I was eight years old. I was still young at that time, and I only knew that my aunt took me from then on." Tian Gui knows that Qiu Ling wants to know What, it's just that this kind of experiment has almost nothing to do with Tiangui, and he has no way of investigating it.

"Your father is the top type of super race in the country, and the army he is in is also the top super army. The task that can be dispatched must be something extraordinary. It is impossible for such an outstanding person to sacrifice. The danger is unimaginable, and neither is your mother."

Listening to her guess, Tian Gui frowned slightly: "What did you think of?"

"The ancient gene resurrection project was launched two months later. It's normal to think of them together. I also guessed wildly, so don't worry about it."

He Siming thought about the details of the plan that he knew, and said: "It seems to be almost two months from the national preparation to the official launch of this plan."

Qin An smiled, digested the content of these few words, and said with a smile: "If it really happened, it would be such a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence." Ke Chenguang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "The mission they accepted will be the top and most secret mission. Judging from the timeline, such a guess is completely feasible."

Ke Chenguang is an old special soldier. In terms of qualifications, he is deeper than Tiangui and knows more than him.

Bao Xinyu thought of Ke Chenguang's right arm: "By the way, I heard that you were discharged from the army because of a broken arm?"

Ke Chenguang touched his right arm, and the scars on the wound disappeared due to the mutation, but he still remembered the pain at the beginning.

In fact, other people are also very curious, but they always feel that this may involve some past that they don't want to think about, so they don't say anything.Bao Xinyu was stunned and asked whatever came to his mind.

"Actually, if it weren't for the current world, I might still think it was a nightmare. After all, this matter is quite absurd." But now, there is nothing more absurd than the end of the world.

Hearing what he said, the other people who were about to fall asleep became more energetic.

"Tell me." Qiu Ling lay down on the bedding and listened to the story with her chin propped.

"At that time, I was assigned to perform a mission in Egypt. At that time, we arrived at one station and then accepted the subsequent mission. I don't know the specific content, I only know that I was looking for something important. At that time, I entered a certain place through a cave. , and then everyone lost consciousness."

"All?" Tian Gui couldn't believe it.Special forces are not ordinary people, especially when performing tasks in an unfamiliar environment, they should be fully motivated, how could they all be recruited?

When Ke Chenguang recalled it, he was also very unbelievable: "Everything. When we woke up, we were five miles away from the entrance of the cave. Others woke up without any problems, only my right arm was broken."
