Chapter 37: The Child

Although the outer wall of the base needs to be built more quickly, since the inner ring has been protected by the wall, it is natural that the construction work must be more urgent so that the new people who may arrive will be able to live in it.

Although most of today's communications are out of use, things such as military-specific and even satellite phones are still functioning normally. As early as when the problems of those bases were becoming more and more serious and there was a possibility of danger at any time, the southwest base received the news. In addition to the ordinary residents, there are many important people who need to be transferred to the two strongest bases in City A today.

The southwest base needs to be mainly accepted and rescued by the people from the western base and the northern base, but the pressure on the eastern base is lighter and only needs to be responsible for the northeast base. -- Yes, after the continuation of the western base, the two bases in the northeast and north are now also experiencing problems and may completely overturn at any time. There is a precedent for the western bases, which have now decided to begin to evacuate and move to two other well-established bases.

Building the perimeter wall is only part of this construction task, and if the wall is not built and a large number of zombies are pouring in like the three unexpected bases, they still need to retreat to the inner ring to defend, so now it is even more important to add new houses to the construction.

A lot of people have recently moved in in the Hongjing community, because the back door is a vegetable field, so the original community was quite clean. But in the last two days, since the situation at the other three bases has been in an emergency, the community has not been clean.

The bungalow area to the east was bulldozed years ago, and the rubbish has been cleared these days, and the foundation is now being laid.

Listening to the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from the wall not far away, the little guy who lay his little head on his paws, paws on a slipper with a few grains of dog food, and half of his body poked into the sun on the balcony to open his big mouth and yawn lazily.

Standing up, flicking off the warm fur on his body, the little one wagged his tail and trotted out of the large glass box not far away, inspecting its territory - yes, the territory, the whole room was its territory! Although it is not very arrogant to mark the territory everywhere, but since it lives here, of course it is the lord here~

The little quails that live in the glass crates are now active, running here and there, sometimes grabbing the ground with their little paws, digging out a few fleshy bugs to eat, or pecking at the leaves of the vegetables planted in the dirt - there are straws above the whole large glass tank, and within half a day a drop of water is used to water the vegetables inside.

The large dog's nose was attached to the glass, and the air that was sprayed formed a thin mist on it. Raising his little paw and scratching it, he confirmed for the twentieth time that he really couldn't get in and couldn't play with the little things inside, so the little guy flicked his tail again and turned around very arrogantly, and then secretly turned his head to look at the little things inside who were happily pecking and eating...... Green and green, seems delicious?

The dog's head is crooked, looking from the half-barred iron fence to the large white tube that is "encircled" on the balcony. The green stuff on top of it seems to be similar to what they pecked?

Flicked his tail and circled around the slippery big iron fence twice, in fact, for safety reasons, Luo Xun didn't make the iron plate of the isolation balcony too high before they left, with the height of the little guy now half a big dog, maybe he could jump out with force, but ...... It hurts to bump into it!

It's not a cat whose curiosity can kill lightly, the little guy is very smart as a black-backed, and understands very well that there are some things he can do and some things he can't. If you really jump out and never come back, will it be swollen when the masters come back? If you do something bad, you must sweep your tail clean! Never get caught!!

Flicking his little tail again, which had become much thicker, the little one went around the room twice, jumped into the box with the dog food, ate a few large bites, and then jumped out again - in order to make it easier for him to eat the dog food, there was a small box that was only half the height of the box and could be used as a ladder. When it jumped out of the box full of dog food, one of them knocked the box open a little without stepping steadily...... Wait, can you move?!

A light bulb lit up on the dog's head, and it wasn't long before a sound of "whoa, whoa, whoa" came from the room.

――――――――――――

Sweating profusely, this is the current situation of a total of seven people in four cars at this time. Including the only ability, Yan Fei, also looked nervous at this time, and his forehead was sweating slightly.

"The front can only be slammed through." Luo Xun gritted his teeth in a low voice and stepped on the accelerator violently.

Their luck is not very good, or they are very lucky. When I finally escaped from the supermarket and ran in the direction of the base, I just happened to crash into dozens of cars and stuck in front of them with a large string of zombie tails!!

Although Luo Xun's car can be loaded with things, it really can't be considered sturdy! There are still a few modified off-road vehicles in the front team, but they are the most ordinary delivery vehicles! He couldn't even get up to speed, and as soon as he met those cars, he had to merge into the back of the convoy. What's even worse is that many cars in the convoy can't speed at all for some reason!

Although Yan Fei used the crystal nucleus to recover a lot of spiritual power, at this time, because there were many zombies around the outside of the car, he moved his hands and feet from time to time to his own car and quickly broke out several times to kill several batches of zombies gathered outside the car, and because his car was not strong enough, he strengthened the protection of the outside of the small truck from time to time along the way, and now, his mental power is on the verge of collapse again.

"Hit it, the front of the car should be fine." Yan Fei had already added some metal to the front part of the car for protection, which should be able to hold up. As for Li Tie, their two cars are now closely following behind their cars, chasing after them for fear of being left behind. But there are more things that the two of them can't take care of now, so they can only pray for their luck.

The car increased its horsepower and rushed forward, overtaking one car after another, and suddenly! Another car in front of him slammed the wheels out of the convoy, blocking directly in front of Luo Xun and them!

"What's the situation!" The speed of the car was not fast, but as soon as it came out, the road in front of it was all blocked by it, and Luo Xun couldn't get around it if they wanted to!

Yan Fei's brows furrowed stiffly, just by virtue of the speed of the car and the sturdiness of the car, where did they leave the convoy and crash into the dense zombies?

Could it be that something is wrong in the car? Or is it ...... Deliberately?

Luo Xun was inevitably a little anxious, but the speed of the car in front of him gradually slowed down, the headlights behind the car flashed violently, and the horn was pressed loudly, but none of the cars that were traveling with him before were ready to help.

Several zombies desperately pounced on the car, and the layers of zombies didn't feel the hindrance of the wagon, waving their arms with dark green "saliva" and bursting out with a crazy appetite for the fresh meat in the car.

Luo Xun had no choice but to turn back to the end of the convoy, and when he went around to the position parallel to the car, he could faintly see the panicked expressions and movements of the people in the car-the people inside were not infected, so to speak...... It should have seen Luo Xu's car rushing forward from the zombie crowd at a fast speed, and he also wanted to learn, but he ignored the fact that the car he was driving was thin and impatient.

Shaking his head slightly, Luo Xun had nothing to say about it, let alone the heart to go down to save them. flashing taillights, Li Tie's car behind the body said that he was ready to crash into the zombie group in the opposite direction again, and after bypassing the car, he stepped on the accelerator violently......

It took them a full twenty minutes before they barely broke out of the zombie horde. Not far from the inside of the car was the convoy, almost all of which were in tatters, and the body was covered with disgusting liquid of unknown origin, scratches from unknown claws, and it looked terrifying.

Although there are not as many zombies on the side of the road as just now, the zombies wandering on both sides of the road and swaying out of the residential area have only increased.

There were even a few zombies that ran very fast and followed the convoy.

Luo Xun just breathed a sigh of relief, and if they continued like this, they would drive for a while and wait until they returned to the base. As soon as this thought came to his mind, before he could speak to Yan Fei, suddenly both of them faintly heard a cry - the cry of a baby.

I don't know which car came from it, and the screams came out, and the zombies outside rushed towards one of the cars in the convoy - the zombies screamed with excitement when they heard the sound.

The crying stopped suddenly, but if you listen carefully, you can still faintly hear something, it seems that the person in the car has blocked the child's mouth with something.

But the ears of the zombies are sensitive, Cheng DΓΉ obviously exceeded everyone's thoughts, although the cry became smaller, but it did not disappear completely, and the faint sound in the car made the zombies more excited. A zombie suddenly lunged at the car, and a piercing sound was heard - the trunk of the car was actually scratched hard!

Another zombie jumped out, the cry of the baby in the car became louder again, and the exclamations of several people could be heard.

The cars that followed were wheeling to get around the besieged car, when suddenly, the windows of the car were rolled down and a package was thrown out.

"Child, my child!!" The hoarse sound came from the car, the woman's mouth was covered from behind, and she whimpered......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not people. Luo Xun's lips pursed tightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned left at an intersection in front of him, and the car of Li Tie and several people behind him hurriedly followed in a panic.

He knew that this was a common scene on the way to escape in the last days, not only the uncontrollable baby who suddenly cried, but also the old man, the woman who attracted zombies because of blood during menstruation, and the half-big bear child who was not very sensible and cried were the main people who were pushed out of the car.

There are also many people who try their best to escape with their cars, and from time to time they drop "bait" along the way in exchange for time for their vehicles to escape. It's all too normal.

Among those who were pushed down, there were mainly the old, weak, sick, disabled women and children...... These first priorities, which were given priority in the peaceful years before the end of the world, are all abandoned by people in the last days.

Luo Xun thought that he had seen a lot, this kind of thing was relatively rare when the end of the world just came, but it will become more and more as the end times go by. Didn't you see a lot of them on the way to the southwest base of City A? Sure enough, I'm still not suitable for leaving the base......

Suddenly, Yan Fei, who had been silent, raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, and his big hand was placed on his shoulder with a reassuring temperature and gently pinched twice: "Don't worry, don't think about it." ”

Luo Xun looked at the people around him with some surprise, his expression was as calm as ever, with a special indifference. It's clear that he is the one who lives again, but now it looks ...... On the contrary, he has not calmed down. Could it be that the ability of the Alien still has the effect of stabilizing the mind?

With a long breath, Luo Xun nodded slightly, stepped on the accelerator and knocked away a zombie running towards him: "I'm fine, but those people have no reason to speak of, and it is very dangerous to walk with them." That's why he turned a street. Of course, the current Luo Xun will never admit that he actually looks at those people more unpleasantly.

Yan Fei hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly asked, "Do you like children?" ”

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment, and then shrugged a little melancholy: "I still want to adopt a child if I have the opportunity, but it's a pity that ......" I was too lonely in my previous life, although there are so many people in the base, but everyone who has experienced the end of the world lives in a base surrounded by zombies and mutant animals, and the trust between people has long been extremely weak. In his previous life, there was a subjective reluctance to communicate with others to avoid trouble, and it was the result of the general environment forcing people to believe in each other.

But after all, human beings can't live alone and have no communication at all, and no one's spirit can stand it after a long time.

The partner who said that he wanted to partner with him on the way north, even if Luo Xun understood that the two might not really be able to be together after they arrived in City A, there would always be such a thought in his heart, at least he felt that he could no longer be lonely.

Although, he didn't remember the man's full name at all, and even his appearance was already blurred.

At the end of his last life, wasn't the reason why he bought that child because he was too lonely? After a hard day, I didn't even have anyone to talk to when I got home. He just thought, isn't it just to raise a son? It's better than dying in the future, and no one will know about the corpse rotting in the basement.

But the boy ran away.

Luo Xun's expression was filled with deep sadness, which made Yan Fei's heart feel a little heavy when he saw it. But he didn't lose sight of his concerns: "Adoption? Yan Fei smiled meaningfully, "Why don't you marry a wife and have a child?" "Even if the current situation is not good, but I really want to find a woman to live with, there is still no pressure with Luo Xun's hamster nest. Moreover, who would not even think about getting married, marrying a wife, and having children, but instead think about adopting a son before things are even worse? Unless he knows it to himself, he will never have children in his life, or even at all, and he does not want to marry a woman.

Luo Xun smiled dumbly, as if he had thought of something funny, and shook his head vigorously: "I can't afford to marry, I can't afford to raise it." ”

He can't say the fact that he has long been forced by life to break the bend, let alone talk about the theory that it is easy to live alone and raise a dog as a son. It is only the beginning of the last days, and his theory is still too "advanced" for the time being.

Yan Fei raised a meaningful smile again: "It's okay, then come with me, I will adopt a son for you when I have the chance." ”

The car that was originally driving well suddenly had an incomparably graceful* "S" shaped drift, which made Li Tie, who was closely behind, startled, and hurriedly hit the wheel in a panic to try to keep up with the other party's "dance steps". But when the car in front of me resumed, I didn't notice anything on the road that I had to dodge?

"What just happened?" Li Tie asked He Qiankun, the co-pilot.

He Qiankun wiped a cold sweat: "Hit, hit the wrong steering wheel?" ”

Li Tie breathed a sigh of relief: "Maybe it's because I've been driving for too long and I'm overly nervous." ”
