214. Finding a relative in the last days (10) (1/2)
Chen Gang had a dream.
He dreamed that he was back before the end of the world, when he first fell in love with his wife. At that time, his family was poor, he had just graduated and did not have much money, and his parents were both senior students. Now that he was older, he needed to support him. It was so poor. My wife still doesn’t mind the conditions.
At that time, for the poor people, the way to celebrate every time was to go out and eat barbecue skewers. Before the end of the world, the aroma of barbecue always drifted along with it into Chen Gang's dreams.
And now, he dreamed that there was a large skewer in front of him. It was fragrant and the meat was crispy. Just looking at the grease, he felt that his whole body was about to sublimate.
Since the end of the world, eating meat has become an unattainable dream for most people. After all, zombie beasts cannot eat it, and mutant beasts cannot defeat it, let alone eat it.
Chen Gang closed his eyes and swallowed in his sleep, imagining how wonderful it would be to bite into the meat and the aroma would overflow.
This smell was so real that he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the skewers on the fire in front of him.
It smells so good, it seems real
Feng Xinglu neatly swept the skewers in his hand from top to bottom, looked strangely at the man who had been staring blankly at the skewers on the fire since he opened his eyes, turned his head to Cheng Miao and made a conclusion, "This guy is Aren’t you frightened?”
Cheng Miao was a big man and ate the most. He felt embarrassed when he was full. After all, this mutated beast was captured by Liang Mingxuan or the woman he liked. He was immersed in banging on the wood he found everywhere.
Wei Mingyan always had pain and itching after being injured before. When he walked, he had to be supported by Liang Mingxuan before he was willing to get off the ground. Last time, Cheng Miao heard him say that it would be better to find a wheelchair, so he began to recall the structure of the wheelchair. Keep your head down and work hard.
Others were diligent. Before Wei Mingyan used an ice pick to crack open the snail shell, several people moved to live on the crab monster. The ladders and wooden doors that went up and down were also made by Cheng Miao.
Feng Xinglu was an expert at making longbows, but he was confused about such delicate carpentry work. Brother Yan was injured and had to control the crab monster. Sister Mingxuan hunted everywhere, so he had to start studying cooking skills and found several This medicated diet book helps other people replenish their bodies in different ways every day.
Of course, he did not forget his own job. On the first day he lived in the snail shell, he took out his monitoring tools from the car and installed them on it. He was about to modify the snail shell into a Among Xisecar's vehicles, Feng Xinglu was most proud of his satellite system. Unfortunately, the satellite system stopped updating. As he walked along the originally planned route, he discovered that the bridge was broken and he couldn't walk across it.
Feng Xinglu consciously smashed the sign, so he began to search for humans more diligently, hoping to find someone who knew the way. He just saw a convoy today and before he could extend a hand of friendship, the convoy ran away without stopping. He was extremely depressed. As a result, Unexpectedly, one person was left behind, so he happily carried him back.
This is a living map that I finally found. It would be a pity if I was scared to death again.
"Hey, bro, bro, what's this?"
Thinking of this, he held a skewer in one hand and stretched out his other hand to make the sign of three.
Chen Gang looked at it dumbly, "Okay?"
"Damn it!" Feng Xinglu slapped his thigh in frustration, "This guy is stupid!"
You don't even know San, you are very stupid.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped lightly on the back of the head. Liang Mingxuan, who had just woken up from her nap, yawned and warned, "Keep your voice down, Mingyan is still asleep."
"Hey, hey, sister Mingxuan, wake up. Look, this is the person we just found. We wanted to ask him to lead the way, but we were stupid."
"Silly?"
Liang Mingxuan looked at Chen Gang in confusion. Before he could say anything, Wei Mingyan, who was resting on the back, sat up, stretched lazily, and said nonchalantly, "It's useless if you're stupid. Throw it away." Just go where you are."
"Hey! Okay Brother Yan, no problem Brother Yan! I'll throw him back now!"
"No, no, no!"
Chen Gang's confused brain finally captured the three words "throw out". Coupled with the cold wind blowing outside as the wooden door opened, he immediately realized that he was not dreaming and quickly bounced up like a bouncing shrimp.
"There's a monster out there! A monster bigger than the house!"
He gestured hurriedly, expecting to see the serious expressions of the people in front of him suddenly become serious, but unexpectedly, he met three pairs of eyes looking at fools.
One of the fair-looking and beautiful young men even had some boredom in his eyes. Chen Gang watched him wave his hand and said, "I'll go back to sleep. Call me after dinner." Then he lay down again.
Chen Gang was stunned.
Are they not afraid?
When you hear such a big monster outside, shouldn't you be frightened and evacuate quickly?
"Hey, brother, open the door and look outside." Feng Xinglu patted the frightened man on the shoulder and decided to tell him the truth in a tactful way.
Chen Gang looked hesitant and carefully opened the wooden door.
As soon as he opened it, there was a gust of cold wind. He shivered from the cold and stuck his head out to look outside.
High, so high.
While his previously frightened brain was still slowly thinking about where to cover such a height, Chen Gang saw the hard and angular crab underneath.
Ah, this crab looks so familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere.
When he saw it clearly, Chen Gang's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
He was standing at the door and almost didn't fall. Fortunately, Liang Mingxuan pulled out a vine in time and tied him back up.
His life was saved, but he was frightened again.
When Feng Xinglu passed by, he saw this man sitting on the ground repeating, "Monster, monster..."
He immediately began to develop his sharp tongue and opened his mouth bah bah bah.
"Eh? Brother, that's not what you said. You know some people will raise mutant beasts, right? They are the kind that are raised before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, they mutate and still follow their masters. This is our situation."
The mutated beast still follows its master after the end of the world...
Chen Gang knew this. There were people coming and going in the base, and those teams were often the most prestigious, and the reason for their majesty was because of their mutant beasts.
For example, in one of the teams, the leader raised a dog before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, the dog mutated successfully and became huge. However, it never left its previous owner. Not only was it capable of killing zombies, it would occasionally go on missions outside the base. How can one not be envious of hunting other mutant beasts?
However, there are very few mutated beasts that still recognize their masters after mutating in the end of the world. Most of them are because they stimulated their wild nature when they first mutated. It would be good not to attack their masters at this time. And those who are still willing to follow their masters either have a good relationship with their masters and pets before the end of the world. Or it's just nature.
For example, another team leader had a cat that mutated and liked to run out of the base to hunt for food. He fed himself ten times and only brought the prey back to his owner once. It is said that once, the cat ate only half of the washbasin. Such a big mouse was caught in front of the captain.
Of course, the scene was weird, but in the end they cooked the rat and had a good meal.
Chen Gang's wife has always regretted that she had planned to raise a puppy at home but had to shelve the plan because of pregnancy. In today's world, it would be so much easier to have a mutant beast as a helper.
Chen Gang spent nearly three months in the base. He saw cats, dogs, hamsters, and foxes...
But he never imagined that crabs could actually become mutant beasts that followed their masters.
"Look at you, it's rare and weird, isn't it? It's just a crab, isn't it? If you still feel scared, just call it by its name, Mr. Krabs. If you think about it this way, you won't be scared anymore?"
Mr. Crab, it was Feng Xinglu who enthusiastically named this new member. No one wanted to call him Mr. Crab, but he couldn’t wait to share it with Chen Gang.
Feng Xinglu's attitude was so natural that Chen Gang really felt that he had little knowledge. He even began to wonder if he didn't really understand crabs yet.
Maybe, before the end of the world, some people really like to raise crabs...right?
But the problem is, cats and dogs are fine, but even if crabs are mutated, can they understand human speech?
"This is not easy. Come on, let me introduce to you. The one who was sleeping just now, our brother Yan, has water powers. He can manipulate water to control Mr. Crab. This is Sister Mingxuan, who is of the plant system. Let's see how it works. The meat for the skewers is all exotic beasts she caught. This is Brother Cheng, who is very strong. He can kill more than a dozen zombies by himself. "
Chen Gang didn't pay much attention to the subsequent introduction. Only Wei Mingyan's introduction remained in his mind.
Water type...can control mutant beasts?
Isn't it true that besides releasing water, their water system has no lethality at all?
Could it be a mutated water system?
Despite Feng Xinglu's usual fussing, he asked him to chat with Chen Gang for a while. Within half an hour, he asked about all the eighteen generations of human ancestors, including, of course, the e-base route.
Chen Gang temporarily lived with them in a snail shell until they found the e-base.
Chen Gang, who was still silently wondering if the group of people would think it was an invasion by mutant beasts when they arrived at the base, soon no longer had the thought to think about it.
Because he was already in shock and couldn't extricate himself.
First of all, these people are actually still able to maintain a normal pre-apocalyptic diet, which consists of two meats, two vegetables, one soup, and white rice that they have never eaten since the apocalypse.
When Chen Gang took the white rice handed over by Feng Xinglu with trembling hands and tasted the familiar taste, the man in his late thirties almost didn't cry.
He didn't expect that these kind people would feed him so well just by giving him directions.
After asking Feng Xinglu, he found out that this was indeed a reward for himself. Chen Gang was careful to only put a piece of food on the bottom every time he ate, and put the rest in the plastic bag he always carried in his arms. Fortunately, the weather was cold now and he couldn't bear it. , the crab can move fast, and when he reaches the base, he can give the food to his relatives.
However, what Chen Gang didn't expect was that this wasn't the only thing that shocked him.
After the end of the world, human beings have changed from three meals a day to one meal. In this way, they still have to be careful to save, for fear of eating too much and not having to eat in the future. In this snail shell, basically except for three meals, Mr. Feng Xinglu Think of ways to whip up some snacks or soups to keep on hand at all times.
According to Chen Gang's observation, in this small team, Feng Xinglu is responsible for reconnaissance and cooking, Cheng Miao is responsible for arriving at a new place and cleaning up the zombies blocking the way, and Liang Mingxuan, who has short hair and looks cold except for her younger brother, is looking for Food people.
Among these people with various skills, the one Chen Gang envied the most was Wei Mingyan, who also had water powers.
He works the least and enjoys it the most. The wheelchair Cheng Miao has been making is for him. Even if Feng Xinglu was immersed in work just a moment ago, if the boy calls, he will immediately get up and help him. He made delicious food, and the 24-hour warm tonic soup was prepared for Wei Mingyan.
Chen Gang was not jealous, he just felt that this good-looking young man was lucky to have such a good sister who put him first in everything, and everyone else in the team also took care of him because of his young age.
Even Feng Xinglu, who was obviously older than the boy, jokingly called him Brother Yan.
They both have water powers, but they have the same person but different fates.
Mr. Crab's walking speed was excellent in Feng Xinglu's words. Within two days, he reached the base not far away.
The huge crab moved slowly towards the base, quickly attracting the attention of the patrolling people.
In the base, the alarm was quickly raised.
Ordinary people were hiding in panic at home or in cellars. Adults covered their children's mouths to prevent them from making sounds. No matter what they were doing at the moment, men would quickly take their weapons and go home to protect them in front of women and old people, with sallow and thin faces. Full of vigilance.
Several major forces in the base immediately began to make preparations, and all those with offensive powers were summoned, ready for a fierce battle at any time.
And even at this time, intrigues are inevitable.
"Old Liang, the base's survival is at stake now. Why did you only bring these two crooked melons and cracked dates? Are you hiding something secret?"
A man with a warm smile was talking to the expressionless man with a Chinese character face beside him. He had a smile on his face and his tone sounded like a joke, but there was something sharp underneath.
"Mr. Wang was joking."
Liang Weimin still looked the same, his facial expression did not change, "I see there are many people around you, but they all seem to have no powers, right?"
"I remember that Mr. Wang's superpowers have the most bases. They haven't come at this time. Could it be that you sent them to do other things?"
The smile on Wang Xing's face was still the same, and he said, "How could it be possible? I'm not like you, Lao Liang. I can't even protect myself, but I still send people out to find my family. I'm not afraid of someone taking advantage of the loophole."
"But speaking of it..." There was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "I remember, don't you have a pair of children? What? You haven't found them yet?"
"Yes, in this world, it is very difficult to find someone. Maybe you will never see him again in this life, but don't be discouraged. You are not too old anyway. You can have a few more."
After he finished speaking, he watched with satisfaction as Liang Weimin's face turned ugly. He felt proud in his heart. Who didn't know that Liang Weimin's biggest weakness was his son and daughter. As a result, his sons were all well by his side now. Liang Weimin didn't get any of them back, and he was worried about himself. If you have to send people out to look for it when it's hard to save, isn't this just waiting for someone to stab you?
Thinking of this, the smile on Wang Xing's face became more kind.
He would not give up such a good opportunity. When Liang Weimin was out of the way, wouldn't the large number of granaries under his control become his own?
The inside should be coordinated with the outside. As long as nothing happens this time, we will definitely...
"Dad! The mutated beast has come over, but it looks like there is someone up there, and it should be owned by someone."
Wang Xing's son ran over from the door with excitement in his eyes and whispered into his ear, "If we recruit this person, our chances of winning will be even greater."
"A mutated beast with a master?"
Joy flashed across Wang Xing's face. If such a large mutated beast recruits its owner...
"Come on, let's go there now!"
Seeing the father and son walking away quickly, the people behind Liang Weimin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, let's go and have a look. If we can recruit the owner of such a large mutated beast, we can definitely make a comeback!"
"Now that most of our manpower has been lost, what can we do to attract people?" Liang Weimin sighed, and his expression revealed the fatigue that he had just covered up. "How are the injuries of the brothers? Don't be reluctant to give up the medicine. Let them rest well before they are cured. Wang didn’t succeed once, but he will definitely do it again next time.”
"A few have left, and their things have been sent to their families. Sir, are we really going to let that man named Wang slaughter us? Isn't it just that he has a few more beasts under his hands..."
Liang Weimin shook his head and said tiredly, "Let's go and have a look. If the owner of this mutated beast is really recruited by Wang Xing, we have no choice but to leave here."
In fact, he had wanted to leave for a long time, but every time he wanted to leave, he would always think of his children. What if Mingxuan really left and Mingxuan made it clear that she could not see him when he came back.
As long as he, the father, stays here, even if only one of his children comes back, he can protect them.
But if I don’t leave now, I’m afraid we’ll never see each other again.
Liang Weimin pressed his throbbing temples to cover up the worry in his heart, and his face became expressionless again.
He must not fall down, even for the sake of his two children.
I hope that the owner of this mutated beast will not be recruited.
The crab stopped three hundred meters away from the gathering base. It would be unsafe for both parties to get any closer.
In order to show his enthusiasm, Wang Xing led his team of superpowers to greet them with smiles on their faces. Feng Xinglu carried Chen Gang down to communicate.
Although Wang Xing was a little disappointed when he learned that the person with the ability to control the supernatural beast did not come down, he still built up his power as a corporal of courtesy and talked about how dominant he was in the base and how much resources he had. Rich.
But no matter how hard he tried, the superhuman in the snail shell upstairs had no intention of opening the door.
Wang Xing felt a little resentful that he didn't know how to praise him, and he was feeling irritated. In the blink of an eye, he saw Liang Weimin coming with someone, and his voice immediately became louder.
"Old Liang, isn't someone under your command injured? Why did you come to such a dangerous place outside the base if you didn't go see them?"
Liang Weimin just pretended that he didn't understand his insinuation that he couldn't protect his men. He twitched his lips and smiled, "I heard that there is a rare crab mutant, come and see it."
Meet?
It's because I want to recruit.
Wang Xing sneered in his heart, mocking his overestimation.
No one is blind. With Liang Weimin like this, how could anyone be willing to follow him?
Just as he was thinking about it, the wooden door that had been silent above suddenly opened.
Under the gaze of several people, the young man's head popped out and shouted crisply.
"dad!"
