Ancient Gene [End Times]

An Kong deliberately made them believe that he didn't have any malicious intentions, but really wanted to lead everyone to have a good time, so he talked a lot.

Qin An could feel his enthusiasm. Looking at the crowds around, he could tell from their faces that they were all over half a hundred years old on average, and some were in their [-]s or [-]s.

In fact, people of this age are mostly eliminated in this world, because their physical functions have begun to degenerate, and their resistance is not as good as that of young people. In such a world full of dangers and inconveniences, survival is more difficult than young people much.

But they are gathered together and are still doing their best to live, and An Kong is also doing his best to lead everyone to live.

After entering An Kong's yard, Qin An raised his head and saw the small wind turbine spinning in the wind.On the roof, there is also a solar water heater and a solar generator.

An old man in his 60s was standing in the yard, smiling at them when he saw them.

An Kong said: "Rats can bite the wires. Now the whole village has a generator and electricity in my house. Now the electricity at home is pointed at this, so I specially asked someone to take turns to watch it. Although the power generation is not much, it is enough for lighting. I can even play some music. If you have any electricity, it's also convenient to charge it here, and my battery is full now."

"Our walkie-talkie is indeed out of battery." Tian Gui didn't show any politeness to him.

Bao Xinyu pointed to the solar water heater: "Is there hot water in there?"

An Kong said: "Yes, there is a well in our village, which can draw water. The water in the water heater is definitely not enough for everyone. It can be used by three or four people at most. If other people want to use it, they can only boil water and use the bathtub. .”

The only way for the group to wash thoroughly during the trip was to take advantage of the rain at the gas station. At this time, they were finally able to take a good bath, and they were very pleasantly surprised.

The tiger came in after him, and when he got to the edge of the yard, he was about to step in, but Xiao Sun stopped him.

An Kong looked at the tiger communicating with Xiao Sun, a little envious: "Is this tiger raised by you? It's quite obedient."

In fact, this white tiger has not been completely tamed, at most it is because there are puppies, cheetahs, which makes the white tiger have a good impression of them.Now that he is in a good mood, he follows Qin An and the others, and he may run away when he is in a bad mood.

"I met you on the road. This tiger doesn't eat people, so let's keep it outside tonight. It should be able to catch some mutant animals for you," Qiu Ling said.

An Kong has been communicating with Qin An and Tiangui, and hardly pays attention to other people.When Qiu Ling spoke suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked over in a daze.

Qiu Ling noticed his gaze, and asked again, "Where's the car?"

An Kong hurriedly said: "It's in the garage, let me show you first."

After speaking, he led a group of people to the garage on the left.

"I bought this car four years ago. It's not too new, but it's been maintained very well. I've even refitted the windows. It's very strong. I rarely go out, and I don't dare to go too far. I don't think I need it now." , Actually, it’s good for you too.” Entering the garage, An Kong introduced his beloved car to them.

"How much gasoline do you save?" Tian Gui looked at the shape of the car with a flashlight.The appearance looks similar to the new one, and there is almost no wear and tear. It can be seen that Ankong cherishes this car very much.

But no matter how cherished it is, if there are more important things, this car is just a trade item.

"More than 200 liters. As you all know before, there are restrictions on gasoline purchases. I saved more than 150 liters before. Later, when the world became chaotic and many cars were abandoned, I collected gasoline and added more than 200 liters. You guys If you want this car, I will take 150 liters for you and leave some gasoline for our own use."

Ankong himself is a doomsday enthusiast, so he will stock up on many useful things.Now it seems that his money is not wasted in vain, and basically all of it is used now.

Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I'm a little curious, what have you prepared?"

An Kong smiled embarrassedly and said, "I prepared a lot. At the beginning, I was scolded a lot for preparing these, but now it seems that I have used them all."

Tian Gui said: "I have prepared so much, but I am willing to bring other people to live with me. It's not easy."

An Kong sighed: "My parents died when I was more than ten years old. I always insisted on living alone. People in the village usually take care of me. When I was in college, they even helped me with my living expenses. Now When the world is bad, those who leave will leave, can I ignore those who remain?"

An Kong was fascinated by end-time novels at first, and then began to be afraid of encountering something force majeure.At the beginning of the apocalypse, if you die all of a sudden and don’t suffer, it’s okay, but if you survive to face the infinitely desperate apocalypse, you will suffer if you are not prepared.

It can be seen that An Kong is a good person and a person who knows how to be grateful.

After seeing the car, the big guys went into the house together.Ankong's home is a two-story building, and the walls are still new, so it should have been built in recent years.

"Did you buy the car and these things?" Qin An asked.

An Kong turned on the light in the room. The light was very bright, and the room could be seen clearly after turning it on.

In these days after the end of the world, this is the first time I have seen brightly lit lights.

"I used to work in the city, and I could earn [-] to [-] yuan a month. Every time I completed a project, I would get some bonuses. But I can't save money. This is building a house, buying a car, and paying back the money I have prepared these things inside and out, and I still don’t have tens of thousands of dollars in savings.” Perhaps because of his trust in the soldiers, An Kong almost answered every question.

Qin An looked at the furnishings in the room, and then at the bright light bulbs, feeling a little ashamed.They saw that their ages were not much different, and they also lived alone with both parents dead. Seeing that people with a monthly income of more than [-] can still hoard these useful things at home, while Qin An doesn't even work, and only takes what his parents left behind. The rent of the house fluctuates all over the world.

In contrast, the gap came out.

He Siming knew what Qin An was thinking by looking at Qin An's expression. He leaned over and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, everyone's pursuit is different. The hamsters hoarded at home and the birds in the sea and the sky should not be compared together."

This sounded quite literary, Qin An touched He Siming with his arm, and the two looked at each other, and they both laughed.

"There are places on the first floor and the second floor. Although there are not many rooms, there is room on the sofa. I heated the floor on the second floor, and I turned on the stove in a while, and the sleeping floor is not cold. The bathroom is upstairs, you can go first Go up and take a bath with two or three people, and I will boil the water here, and I can wash it in a while."

An Kong was clean from top to bottom, and he could smell Qin An and the others.Seeing that none of them are sloppy people, they should need a bath at this time.

"Then trouble you." Tian Gui nodded, "Qiu Ling, Xiao Sun, you guys go take a shower first, and Ke Chenguang cooks first. The rest of the people are free to move around and see if there is anything that can help. Trouble."

"I'll stay here with Baihu for a while, you guys wash first." Xiao Sun was not in a hurry.

"Don't waste too much hot water. Except for solar water heaters, it's too wasteful to use fuel to boil water. After a while, several people will use a tub of water to wash. You are a girl, don't mix bath water with men, wash first." Tiangui said.

"Oh." Xiao Sun went out, went to talk to Bai Hu for a while, took out the toiletries from his backpack, and followed An Kong upstairs first.

Ankong's house has a pile of firewood, and there is a big stove in the house.Qin An and the others also brought some leftover dog meat from previous hunting, and Ke Chenguang took all the meat.This time there is water, you can wash the ingredients before putting them into the pot.

Ankong only has one earthen pot, and the rest of the electric pot consumes a lot of electricity.

Qin An came over with an induction cooker, went into the yard and picked up a few bricks to make a simple stove and set it on fire to eat noodles.

An Kong came down from upstairs, saw them busy, walked over quickly and said: "I still have some dried vegetables here, let's put them in the pot together." He began to rummage through the kitchen.

"No need, I eat less vegetables now, and it's not easy to sow seeds in the cold weather, so let's keep them and eat them later." He Siming rejected his offer.

"Don't be polite to me. I also said that I stocked up a lot of things, enough to eat for a long time. And when I first started to mutate, I went to the town because I was going to collect a lot of food. Yes. This thing can’t be kept, it will go bad in two or three years, so I’d better eat it quickly, and there will always be a way to get it again.”

An Kong took out two packages of dried vegetables and a package of beef jerky: "You don't have to be polite to me, you give me something for self-defense, which will help a lot. Most of those robbers are desperadoes, if there is no one The things that are close to me, these things can’t be left in a few days, and I don’t know whose pocket it goes into.”

After he said that, He Siming took the things and went out and handed them to Qin An to put a piece into the noodles.

This kind of vegetable package is similar to instant noodles, and it is easy to buy online before the end of the world.Open the package and look inside, there are even some beef cubes.Qin An grabbed two handfuls and threw them into the pot, then sniffed them greedily and glanced at He Siming.

"Fragrant." He Siming smiled.

"I regret it a little bit," Qin An said.

"Ok?"

"Tell me, if I don't wander around, it would be great to find a safe place like this and start stocking things. Then I must be near Beijing now, and if I am fully prepared, my life will not be affected at all." Qin An His character is that the sky is high and birds fly, and it is precisely because of this that he is trapped in Tibet.

"If you were in Beijing now, wouldn't you be able to see me?" He Siming smiled.

Qin An blinked, as if so.

"That's right. If I wasn't here, I wouldn't meet you, and I wouldn't have the chance to mutate." In fact, for Qin An, the ability to mutate is far more important than any rich preparations.Only when you are strong enough, you will be more confident to see the rising sun tomorrow.

"Everyone's life has advantages and disadvantages, this is a very normal thing." He Siming said, "Don't think too much."

The noodles are cooked, and those who are not alive come over to have a meal.It's not for nothing that a group of people live here. There is a lot of wood in the backyard of Ankong's house, and Silver Fox is chopping wood with an ax at the moment.Upstairs and downstairs, there were some places that Ankong couldn't clean up. Except for the places involving privacy, the big guys cleaned up together.

An Kong has a good temper, and he also trusts those who wear military uniforms. Apart from politely telling them not to work too hard, he didn't refuse their help.

With an iron pot, cooking is much more convenient.After stewing for nearly an hour, a large bag of vegetables was soaked out.After the meat came out of the pan, another plate of vegetables was fried.

An Kong also has some dried cucumber sticks at home, scald them in boiling water, add seasonings to make a refreshing cold salad.When cooking, An Kong's portion was also made. It is An Kong's own home, so he naturally has no reason to refuse.

"By the way, I have wine at home." Ankong went back upstairs and took down a few bottles of beer and a bottle of Erguotou, "I'm not good at wine, but the white ones won't go bad, so I stocked up some. The shelf life of beer is one Year, you have to drink it quickly."

"Is the wine stored upstairs?" Qin An asked.

An Kong nodded: "Generally no one goes upstairs. You know the people in the village, especially the old man who likes to drink a few sips, but it's not good to drink too much, so I'll go upstairs."

"For wine, it's best to put it in the cellar. It should be available in the countryside, and it's easy to store in a cool place. And this wine is a glass bottle. If it is accidentally broken, it is easy to catch fire." Qin An suggested.

When he was traveling before, he just happened to encounter a fire in the tourist area caused by breaking high alcohol.The concentration of Erguotou is flammable when touched with fire, so it is better to be careful.

An Kong nodded again and again: "That's right."

None of Tian Gui's people knew how to drink, and they were also disciplined. In addition, they planned to help the village patrol at night, so they didn't drink a sip.On the contrary, Qin An and the others drank some beer and chatted after drinking, and the relationship became closer.

"Just before, when I was fine, I told the villagers to store more food in case something happened in the future. I didn't listen to anyone! Some people said behind my back that there was something wrong with me! The result! In the end, something happened, right? !" An Kong didn't know how to drink, so he drank a glass of beer while chatting, and the conversation started.

Before talking too much, it was to introduce the family situation to everyone, but now talking too much, it is pure chatterbox.

He Siming glanced at Qin An, then looked back at An Kong's blushing face, then reached out and took away the wine glass in front of him.

"In fact, it is right to store more food at home. As long as the economy is developing, there is a danger of collapse. Throughout the history of several financial turmoil, the occurrence rate of similar financial crises is not low. Even if there is no financial crisis, the small Large-scale inflation will also cause prices to skyrocket. Old rice may not be as nutritious as new rice, but it is better than when money can't buy it." He Siming said.In fact, there are two bags of rice in his house for a long time, which is enough for more than a year when he lives alone.

Hearing this, An Kong seemed to have found a bosom friend: "I thought so too! But you have to know, those people are the least willing to hear such words, as if cursing them to be unlucky, this is called taking precautions before they happen!"

This is quite aggrieved, but I don't know why it is very funny.

Qin An served him some noodle soup and asked him to drink some to dilute the alcohol in his stomach.I've seen people who can't drink, but I've never seen a glass of wine before I started drinking crazy.

"So they suffer from lack of foresight, don't they?" Qin An said, "Actually, even if it's hoarding, there are not many people who can save like you."

"It's also fortunate that autumn has started to mutate, and the highland barley in the field is almost harvested." An Kong said here and sighed, "The terrain here is not suitable for sowing too many things. Animals only start to mutate after the autumn harvest. At least It’s not easy to go hungry.”

Here in Tibet, the climate is dry and the oxygen is thin. For thousands of years, it has been dominated by highland barley.However, in recent decades, the country has established a research and development team to allow many crops to survive in Tibet and ensure a certain amount of harvest. Now the sowing here has also begun to enrich.However, compared with other places, it is still much less.

Tiangui is almost finished eating here, just about to put down his chopsticks and get up, when he heard this, he laughed and said, "Then did you buy soilless cultivation?"

An Kong was taken aback: "You also understand this?"

Tiangui smiled and said: "My grandfather is also a doomsday enthusiast. He liked to hoard things when he was young. Didn't he meet the end of the world in 18? I don't know how many people died of starvation, but my grandfather's family lived very comfortably. So until now, those things from back then are still regularly replaced and stored at home, and now they are probably used again.”

An Kong's eyes lit up: "Then I really want to meet him, he is so far-sighted!"

This sentence praised him with the old man.

"It's a pity that my grandfather is in the Northeast, otherwise I really want to take you to see it." After all, Tiangui is not from that era. When he was young, he didn't understand the situation of hoarding everything at home.Now, though, it's clear they were both right.

"It's too far away." An Kong said regretfully.Even in the past, such a long distance has to be considered, not to mention the traffic congestion now.

Qin An took a sip of his wine and looked at He Siming.Tiangui's family is really interesting. His parents are the king of soldiers, and his aunt is a brain-type superhuman, and one of the smartest people in the world.The two grandpas have been homosexuals for a lifetime, and they also have hoarding habits. In this life, they have met the two doomsdays, and they have used all the things they hoarded.

As for Tiangui himself, he became the captain of the special forces at such a young age. With his identity and background, isn't it a joke?This is the setting of the protagonist in the novel.

Tian Gui put down his chopsticks and stood up, seeing He Siming looking at him, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm getting more and more curious about your family." He Siming said.

"Anyway, you have to go." Tian Gui went out, went to the village to learn about the patrol process, and made arrangements for the people in his team.

Both Qiu Ling and Xiao Sun have bathed, and two pots of water have been boiled in the boiler room.

Tiangui led the soldiers to choose the last one, and the rest made their own arrangements.

Bao Xinyu, a half-grown child, was pushed out again.

Having stayed in a clothing store before, everyone brought a change of clothes.Now that they were all taken off, Xiaosun and Qiuling helped wash the clothes after they finished washing first.

The two of Qiu Ling were still arranged to sleep in a small bed in a room, while Qin An and He Siming slept on the sofa.The big bed in the master bedroom upstairs can sleep three people, so Bao Xinyu, Ke Chenguang and An Kong can squeeze in.

The few remaining soldiers were going to join the patrol, so they made a floor bunk on the second floor.

Qin An wanted to follow, but was pushed back by the ghost: "There are old people in the village, I believe they are soldiers. You are not wearing a military uniform, and you will be guarded if you go out and transfer in the village. If there is a battle tomorrow, you and Dr. He should recharge his batteries first."

If there is a fight, ammunition and ammunition should be used sparingly. The mutation of Qin An and He Siming is a good weapon.The team can't rely too much on the tiger, carefully arrange here first.

A professional person came to the house, and An Kong didn't miss this opportunity.Although he has a bow and arrow, he has gained some accuracy by practicing himself, but it is still difficult to use.Now that several soldiers are at their own homes, they naturally have to ask them carefully.

"Spread your legs too far, and use too much force on your shoulders. Don't draw your bow too full, as this will increase the load on your shoulders. You do have precision, but your movements are too irregular, and your basic skills are not well practiced. If you continue like this, you will only overdraw your strength." The body is exchanged for attack. Don’t say I’m scaring you, your arm will be useless after a long time, let alone the bow can’t be opened, and you may not be able to lift two catties of rice.” Dichlorvos himself was born as an archer, and he also trained in the army later. a period of time.At this moment, just looking at his posture, he shook his head again and again.

Before An Kong, due to work reasons, he couldn't systematically go to professional clubs to learn archery, so he basically took the time to follow the videos.After practicing the accuracy, I thought it was almost the same, and after the end of the world, I really used it. I thought it was not a big problem, but I didn't expect it to be a shortcoming when people saw it.

"Give me the bow." Dichlorvos took the bow in his hand, weighed it, tried to pull it away, then patted An Kong's body, shook his head and said, "This bow is at least fifty pounds, you are a novice, thirty pounds It’s not bad. If you draw such a bow without the foundation of physical fitness, you’re lucky if nothing happens.”

"But the weight is too low, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill those monsters." An Kong didn't expect that he would know the weight after trying this way, and he was also impressed.

"Then you can't exchange your arms for prey." Dichlorvos said, "I will adjust the weight for you first, and then arrange a training list for you. You can try to adjust the bow yourself after practicing for a long time. Don't If you want to eat it in one bite and become fat, you will hurt yourself first if you don’t handle it well.”

Putting all the backpacks in one place, Qin An and He Siming began to sort out everyone's remaining things, and then reclassified and distributed the items.

Vermicelli is their main ration, and the rest is some mustard and other things to eat.Pickles can barely be regarded as vegetables, and they are also a source of salt, and meat can be hunted along the way.

Now it seems that they are not short of anything except water.

After Bao Xinyu took a shower, he told them that there was still water in the water heater, and anyone who wanted to take a shower should hurry up.

He Siming pushed Qin An upstairs to wash first, he alone is enough to sort out this kind of thing.

Qin An still used a piece of soap to wash from head to toe, but halfway through washing, the water ran out, and the hot water in the solar water heater was used up.

The boiling kettle is placed at the door of the bathroom, and there is a bathtub in the bathroom.There was already cold water in the bathtub.Qin An had prepared warm water and hesitated when he wanted to go in.

I am used to the days of lack of water, so I still feel guilty just taking a bath like this.Looking at the small water ladle for washing hair beside him, he simply sat on the small stool by the bathtub, rubbed his whole body up and down, and then poured warm water on his body with the small water ladle to rinse.

In this way, there is not much hot water used after washing.
