Ancient Gene [End Times]

"How did you know that the new patriarch was born?" Sky Ghost asked again.

Qiu Ling helplessly spread her hands: "Only the elders in the clan know about this. I was born after my elder brother, and I have never seen the birth of a patriarch."

"There's always a sense of sight from an outsider." Qin An laughed.

"I can't tell." Qiu Ling thought for a while, and said, "If you have to say what it looks like, it can be said to be similar to a modeling factory. Find good training in all aspects, and then give exposure channels to become famous. The education our clansman received since childhood is I try my best to bring more convenience to the world, and the children who walk out of the clan have also done this."

"Are you an exception?" Qin An said.

"Well, I've never been one to take advice since I was a kid."

Tian Gui rummaged through the things in the owner's house, and together with Bai Yu, brought out some quilts from the quilt rack.

"These two nights are close to zero, so I don't dare to burn too much fire, so I'll cover it up a little more at night. By the way, I found two hot water bottles. I will boil more water later and fill them up. If the water is cold, I put it on the In the middle of a sleeping bag, put another layer of quilt on top, it can keep you warm overnight." Tiangui said to everyone.

Qiuling and Xiaosun's mutation methods are different from other people's, and their physical fitness has not improved much, so they are the least likely to catch a cold.And Qin An's wound has not fully recovered, so He Siming also won one for him.

Qin An was embarrassed by such preferential treatment. After thinking about it, he took out four empty mineral water bottles from the car.

Most of the water bottles after drinking are not discarded, and will be refilled when new water sources are found.Now water resources need to be highly paid attention to, and should be collected as soon as possible when conditions permit.

After boiling the water, Qin An first poured some cold water into the water bottle, and then poured the boiled water into it.With the neutralization of cold water, the water bottle is not wrinkled.

After a group of people washed up, they went into sleeping bags in twos.Qin An and He Siming covered everyone with quilts, and put the hot water bottle between the two sleeping bags at the same time.

Don't underestimate such a small thermos. In cold weather, such a warm water bottle can keep people from catching cold.Even in extremely cold weather, a hot water bottle under the quilt can save a life.

Qin An got into the sleeping bag, turned around and saw that He Siming was still busy, and said, "What's wrong?"

"I soaked shredded kelp and fried it tomorrow morning," He Siming said.

Everyone hasn't eaten stir-fried vegetables for a few days, and they have been on the road for two days. Now that they can sleep well, they will try their best to satisfy everyone.

The taste of kelp is the best when it is soaked for two or three hours, but everyone doesn't have so much time to prepare it. If you soak it before going to bed, you can eat it tomorrow morning.

Because it is relatively safe to live in a house, there are two people on the night watch, and six people take turns to ensure that everyone has enough sleep.

The sleeping bag is thick and insulated.The temperature of the hot water bag poured through the sleeping bag is not high, but it is warm enough.

In this way, I hardly feel any cold, and I close my eyes and sleep until dawn.

Qin An woke up amidst the cheerful barking of puppies.Qin An was always the last to get up, but it was not an important matter, so no one cared.

Qin An stretched and sat up, turned around and saw Bao Xinyu arranging his backpack.

"What about the others?" Qin An asked.

"Brother Tian went to see the terrain with Hei Niu. Brother He and Uncle Ke just finished cooking, and everyone else went to eat."

Qin An stood up and looked at the figures outside the window, as well as the puppies running around: "The puppies are very cheerful."

"It's snowing in the morning, the puppy has never seen snow, so it's a little noisy." Bao Xinyu laughed.

"Snow? It's only November." Now that we have entered the border of Sichuan, even if it snows in the northwest and southwest of Sichuan, it usually only occurs in December.

"Sister Ling said that it would be strange if the world is normal." Bao Xinyu laughed.

"It's getting colder that day." Qin An was a little worried.They have thick clothes, but not serious clothes to keep out the cold.

"If we mutate, we shouldn't be afraid of the cold." Bao Xinyu said innocently.

"Don't forget that after evolution, we will also have the characteristics of mutant animals. If it is a mammal like Siming, it will be fine. Reptiles like me are theoretically afraid of the cold. If it is too cold, it will hibernate. "

Bao Xinyu may have two kinds of mutations. The direction of birds is no doubt warm-blooded animals, but the other point is not clear.But the situation will definitely be much better than Qin An.

"Then let's move quickly. If we go to the center of the inland area, we should be fine."

"I hope so." Qin An thought about their target location in the northeast, "It snows so early in Sichuan, I don't know how the situation in the northeast is."

"Let's go to Brother Tian's house, even if it's cold in the Northeast, don't you be afraid. Besides, the heating in the Northeast is much more comprehensive than ours." Bao Xinyu still remembers that some Northeast netizens showed off on the Internet. The head of the house is wearing a vest and eating popsicles.

Qin An got dressed, put away the mattress and sleeping bag, and then went out to wash and eat.

The snowflakes outside have already spread all over the ground, and the temperature has dropped to two or three degrees below zero. Although it is not bad, the consumption of human body calories has also increased a lot.

"Come and eat quickly." He Siming looked at Qin An and said.

There is not a lot of water in the car, so save it.Yesterday, the water in the hot water bottle and hot water bottle was warm, so I just poured some out and wiped my face on a towel, and then poured half a glass of water to brush my teeth.

The water soaked in seaweed was not wasted. When conditions permit in the team, they would cook some cooked food for the three puppies after eating, and a little salt would be added in it. The water soaked in seaweed has salt in it. They boiled the meat and poured some salt water, and the dogs were happy to eat some taste.

In the morning, there is fried kelp, which is considered a vegetarian dish. The half rabbit left over from yesterday was also roasted, and everyone shared it.

It stands to reason that the soup eaten in the morning is the best, and it also nourishes the stomach.However, the group of them had to hurry and eat more meat in the morning so that they would have strength for the day.

"Departure in 10 minutes." He Siming said.

"Let's take the hot water bottle, it's quite warm." Qin An said.When they wake up in the morning, the hot water bag is still warm when they touch it. This kind of heat preservation effect is exactly what they need.

That is, there may not be quilts in the future. Things like hot water bottles are not suitable to be put directly into sleeping bags, as they may easily cause low-temperature burns.

"Well, the quilt can also carry two beds, and now there are exactly two cars."

The performance of the car that Qiu Ling snatched from the mysterious man is not bad, and it can still hold some things.

Now that I have entered Sichuan, there is no need to rush day and night.Moreover, they are not familiar with the situation in Sichuan, so they can't rush around rashly.

In order to avoid an emergency, Qin An and He Siming both sat on the roof of the car and grabbed the rope tied to the roof to prevent them from being thrown off when they parked rashly.

Xiaosun once tried to see if he could get other people to sit on the white tiger. Holding on to the tiger's fur is safer than the roof of the car.

It's a pity that Baihu is born with arrogance, and he would never want anyone other than Xiaosun to sit on it.

He Siming was sitting on the roof of the off-road vehicle, and Qin An was sitting on the roof of Qiuling's car. Looking at the changing scenery around him, he turned his head to look at the white tiger, and hesitantly said to He Siming who was not far away: "You See if the white tiger has grown up again?"

"It's normal for mutated tigers to grow bigger." Although there was wind noise interference, it had no effect on their mutated ears.

"Did you say that mutant animals have a limit to how big they can grow?" Qin An said.

"Now it's just the beginning of the mutation and it has reached this level, and it will only get bigger and bigger in the future." He Siming sighed.

"Did there be such a big tiger in ancient times?" Qin An asked.

The mutation direction of the white tiger is obviously the saber-toothed tiger, but the saber-toothed tiger doesn't seem to be that big.

"Returning to ancestors is just a direction of mutation, not the end of mutation. Judging from the current situation, they will target the ancient times and become stronger and stronger." He Siming said.

"So, we are getting stronger and stronger, right? We won't be bound by mutated species." Qin An asked.

"This is natural. You have to know that in history, even mutated animals with armor levels cannot resist bullets. The degree of mutation of your bare skin has surpassed that of ancient creatures."

He Siming was able to analyze more things based on the data in his mind, and He Siming could see all the changes in Qin An up to now.

The vitality of the plants is obviously much better than before the end of the world. The snowflakes covered a lot of green, but there are still green plants coming out of the blizzard against the cold wind.

During lunch time, we parked the car and boiled some hot water to fill everyone's kettles.

There is a slightly larger public thermal kettle in the car, and sometimes some tea leaves are put in it. If you want to drink water, you can use your own kettle to pour some.Tea is something that can pass the time and boost morale. Drinking it at night can also refresh your mind. At the beginning, Ankong brought them a lot, and now drinking it on the road is delicious, which can be regarded as improving the quality.

But they are not that extravagant, the tea leaves are soaked for at least one day before they are willing to throw them away.Boiling water at noon, I just poured out yesterday's tea leaves and put new tea leaves in for re-brewing.

When drinking tea on the road, it is considered a luxury to be able to take a sip, and there is no need to pay attention to the temperature of the water or the number of times to brew it.Put in the tea leaves and pour boiling water. After waiting for a few minutes, everyone can't wait to pour some and take a sip.

In this environment, people who do not have the habit of drinking tea also become obsessed with this scented water.

"Let me go ahead and take a look first." Qin An jumped on the roof of the car and looked ahead. "The front is the urban area. You can see some cooking smoke. There should be many people living there. I'll go and have a look first."

With the lessons of the previous traitors, now they will be extremely vigilant when they arrive in a new place.

"I'll go." Heavenly Ghost said, "You have too little experience."

Qin An has learned a lot of lessons because of his carelessness, and Tiangui doesn't expect him to learn a lot.

"Don't worry, I'm also going to look out for the wind. I've been suffocated for the past two days." Before, I was able to kill mutant animals at least once. In the past two days, the number of times I got out of the car was only a handful, let alone killing mutant animals.

"Go together." He Siming said.

"Go together." He Siming said.

Tiangui looked at the two of them, turned to look at Qiu Ling, and smiled helplessly.

These two are really boring.

After the two mutated, the speed was extremely fast, and they had already entered the county within 10 minutes.Just like before, because they are wearing military uniforms, most ordinary people will not provoke them.After seeing the stranger, the two casually asked someone about the local situation.

This time, the location is a relatively large county in Sichuan, which can be regarded as a city-level county, so a group of people will pay attention to it and inquire in advance.

"Recently, a lot of people have moved from Tibet. A few have settled here, and most of them have moved in. I heard that some people plan to go to Beijing. I don't know if they can do it. If you want to rest, there is a hotel in front of you." It's still open, you have a wooden warehouse, and a bill is enough for one person to sleep well for a night. But let me tell you something good, the city has been in chaos recently, and the government is planning to move people to the east. Get ready. The management here is lax, and there have been several companies fighting fiercely for territory recently, so you guys in military uniforms, it’s best not to get involved.”

"Thank you for reminding me." Qin An took out a finger-long compressed biscuit from his pocket as labor fee.

The man gladly accepted the biscuit and thanked him repeatedly.

Compressed biscuits are high in calories, so save enough to last for a day.Moreover, compressed biscuits are currently in short supply. One biscuit can be exchanged for several days of clean drinking water, which is very valuable.

Afterwards, the two inquired about relatively safe areas in the county, and confirmed the places and hotels that could be exchanged for purchases, and then began to walk back.

"It's more complicated than what I've seen before." On the way back, Qin An saw that the surrounding environment had changed from civilized to chaotic again, and the fringe areas of the county were no longer inhabited.

"Sichuan has almost become the center of power in the vicinity. It is posted near the center of power. When the government has no time to manage it, it is natural to fight for every cent. Anyone with some vision can see that in this situation, the larger the territory occupied , the more beneficial it will be for future development.”

"So which hotel shall we stay in tonight?" Qin An changed the topic.

"It's getting late. And it's necessary to understand the situation. If the trouble is really too much, let's stop by and talk about it. According to Tiangui's personality, he must have done this." He Siming knew that Tiangui was A soldier, along the way, as long as it is within his ability and does not affect the mission, he will do it.

"It's better than finding a lousy house to live in."

At least staying in a hotel doesn't have to be so tense to guard against mutant animals that may attack.

Of course, sometimes people are scarier than animals.

On the way, Qin An, with the idea of ​​saving electricity, only told Tian Gui with his consciousness, and got the response from Tian Gui, and then walked back slowly, only waiting for the two parties to meet together before entering the county together.

When he walked out of the county and no one was around, He Siming suddenly approached Qin An, pressed his ear, and said softly, "Is it for the benefit of mankind tonight?"

Qin An paused for two seconds to react, and the tips of his ears began to turn red: "Of course there are no accidents."

The young man who is full of blood has just tasted something, and then he has been empty for a few days. It is a lie to have no charming thoughts.

"That day at that super race, I heard everything you said."

That day, Qin An frankly admitted that he liked He Siming in order to show that his concern for He Siming was not because he was a tasker.At that time, although He Siming could not move his body because of the anesthetic, his hearing was still responding.

Of course, Qin An thought of what he was talking about. At that time, he was very nervous, so he naturally tried his best to mislead the mysterious person.And he knew that he couldn't fool the mysterious person, so he had to ask back or just tell the truth.

In fact, when he said that sentence, Qin An himself couldn't tell whether it was the truth or he said it casually to anesthetize the mysterious person, but no matter whether he liked this feeling or not, he still cared about He Siming beyond ordinary people.

Qin An is a slow person emotionally, he doesn't know how to distinguish his emotions, let alone how to deal with them.

All he can do now is let nature take its course.

Qin An said frankly: "I said it casually at the time."

He Siming didn't expect him to confess, but said with a smile: "Whether you are telling the truth or just saying it for Zhou Xuan's sake, I am very happy."

"Is this happy?" It's too unpursuing.

"Really." He Siming thought again, "Of course, nothing is more important than your own safety."

"You've been nagging for days."

"It's useless to say it several times." He Siming said helplessly.

"Then you still say."

He Siming looked at Qin An, Qin An took two quick steps, and looked back at him laughing arrogantly.This smile hit He Siming's heart hard, he quickly walked a few steps to follow, looked at Qin An's smiling face, and said to his ear:

"If you dare to be careless and get hurt again, I will directly anal you."

Qin An only felt his face heat up. He turned his head to see that He Siming had run away, and quickly walked up to grab He Siming's sleeve: "Tell me again! Who are you fucking!"

Thanks to Qin An, he also praised him as a scholar. Is there a scholar who would say such coquettish words?

The two chattered and walked faster. As soon as Qin An caught He Siming, he looked up and saw the big white cat walking slowly.

"People are here, don't make trouble." He Siming hurriedly used this to excuse himself.

Qin An's mutated ears heard the sound of the car, and glanced at He Siming, but saw the sly look on his lips, and immediately grabbed his shoulders with both hands, raised his knees and punched him upwards.

He Siming dodged in danger, but Qin An's knee touched his crotch, and he felt sore.

"pain!"

"It depends on who you anal." Qin An ran forward a few steps and joined the others.

After meeting with Tian Gui and others, Qin An told what he saw in the county.

It is a matter of helplessness for the officials to temporarily let go of the control of local forces because of their busy relocation. Tian Gui is still a little disappointed after hearing this.

"Then shall we stay in a hotel tonight?" Qin An asked for Tian Gui's opinion.

"By the way, inquire about the surrounding situation."

"Not going to the station?" Qiu Ling raised her eyebrows.

"No. We still have sufficient supplies. And if we enter the station, we will inevitably have to check and interrogate. Let's hurry and save time as much as possible. Let's stop and rest when we arrive in Chengdu."

Although encountering the Mysterious Man organization and the "Orange Bird" organization before consumed a lot of ammunition, but the ammunition replenished in Lhasa was very rich, and their cars can hold it well, so there is no need to worry about this now, and now they have at least enough to eat. Don't worry about four-fifths of the food left.Other resources are easy to buy among the people, let alone trouble the army to worry about them.

"However, supplies should be prepared." Ke Chenguang opened the car window and said.

"It's time for us to buy gasoline." Qin An said, "Now the two cars are in use."

Gasoline can't carry much.And with too much, the car will inevitably be full of gasoline smell.However, off-road vehicles consume a lot of fuel, and they usually drive at a slow speed, which consumes more fuel in this case.

"This is not a problem. Since the society here has not collapsed, there must be stocks of necessary materials such as gasoline, and at most they are more expensive. We can exchange them with wine."

They will not drink alcohol along the way, in order to ensure that they can cheer up enough energy to deal with emergencies at any time, and those who can drink will also hold back the gluttons.And now the wine is worth a lot, so it should be exchanged for something more worthwhile.

"A little hungry."

"When we get into the hotel, we can sell some alcohol and use the alcohol pot to cook, soon." Qin An comforted.

They brought a lot of alcohol blocks and liquid alcohol, and the alcohol used for disinfection can also be burned.But these things still have to be used wisely.There are many commodities that can replace currency at present, and these can be spent first.

The simplest "replacement currency" is nothing more than cigarettes, alcohol and compressed biscuits.

"Then go, go!" Bao Xinyu got back into the car while talking, and looked at Ke Chenguang eagerly.

Ke Chenguang was a little speechless, waiting for everyone else to get in the car, and drove the car faster.

Qin An is still hiccupping recently, and every time he wants to hiccup, he will run away and hiccup, then rinse his mouth with the mouthwash he brought with him before going back.Although it is possible to simply light the fire without any smell, but the kindling is precious, Qin An is really reluctant to part with it.

Every time he hiccups while standing upstream of the wind, letting the wind blow away the stench around him, Qin An feels a little melancholy.Such a foolish ability has not been used a few times until now, but it has tormented him several times a day to go out and hiccup, and it has almost become a daily problem to be solved like going to the toilet.

It would be great if there was a device to ignite the fire in the innermost part.

When they entered the county again and entered a relatively clean and crowded place, in order to avoid trouble, the five special forces of Tiangui got out of the car and followed the car.

The heavily armed special forces are more like an invisible warning to those in civil organizations, and they are also a symbol of safety.Wearing this military uniform, as long as other people are not actively attacking, they will not embarrass anyone.

All the way to the hotel that Qin An and He Siming were optimistic about, and went through the check-in procedures.

Because they were all wearing military uniforms, the boss didn't dare to slaughter the guests, so he only charged a pack of compressed biscuits, and allowed eleven people and five pets to stay.

There is a large yard behind the hotel, which is now paved with some hay, which can be regarded as a nest for mutant animals.The white tiger is really too big, it is already five or six meters tall, and it is a big lump lying there.At this time, several mutated pets were lying in the yard, some were pets of people living in the hotel, and some people living nearby had pets here.As soon as the white tiger came in, the other animals became energetic, and they either bowed down to threaten, or retreated into the corner cowardly, trying to escape.

The white tiger was quite disdainful about this, and wandered around the yard on his own, causing the mutated animals to flee around, then found a pleasing place, and led the cub to lie down.

Although Doudou is afraid of white tigers, she is relatively petite and dare not live with her two cubs in other places. After all, white tigers don't know how to eat them, so other mutated animals can't be sure.

So he had no choice but to take the two cubs lying not far from the white tiger.When other animals approached, it quietly moved closer to the white tiger.The white tiger flicked its tail, but still ignored it.
