142.Chapter 142
Thinking that the little guy might have mutated, Luo Xun stood up suddenly: "Let's turn off the lights tonight!" "It's just morning, although there is a dark room in the house, but it is far from being completely dark, so let's wait until the evening to try again, anyway, the crystal nucleus may have been "eaten" by it for an unknown amount of time, and it is not a big problem to verify its physique at night.
In fact, in addition to this method, there is another way to prove whether the little guy has mutated, and that is to let it use an ordinary first-order crystal nucleus. If it can absorb it, it proves that it has been upgraded, but if it can't be absorbed, then I'm afraid that the duck's crystal nucleus is still alive somewhere, but it hasn't been discovered by the two.
But God knows if eating this thing directly will turn people or animals into zombies? Luo Xun didn't dare to bet - the little guy is not human, if it swallows that thing directly, and if something goes wrong, there is no place to cry by itself!
The whereabouts of the duck's crystal nucleus are now unknown, and the little guy suspected of being a suspect will have to stay until the evening to conduct a forensic trial. The crystal nucleus that hit the sheep last time had been "eaten" by Zhang Su, and now all that was left was the huge sheepskin to be disposed of.
Luo Xun and his family took their dog out of the house and sent it to Xiao Xinran's side to play with her. At this time, Li Tie and the five of them had already embarked on a difficult journey to work, and Luo Xun and they had no choice - if the road conditions outside were better, they could still drive them to work, but now, even Luo Xun and the others had to walk when they went out, and Li Tie and the others could only climb to the barracks and test the road conditions.
"Deal with that sheepskin? Yes, yes! Xu Mei and the two nodded again and again after hearing Luo Xun's words, it was indeed very warm after installing plumbing at home, but when they went out twice, they were ravaged by the cold wind, and the warmth effect of sheepskin was very good, and it was just right to use it as a coat, shoes, and gloves to keep warm!
Song Lingling thought of Li Tie's five-person group who went out to work before dawn today: "Li Tie, they have to go to work every day recently, let's hurry up and make some sheepskins and coats so that they can wear them to protect themselves from the cold first!" โ
As soon as they said and did, a few people brought in the frozen goatskin, warmed it up, washed the minced meat with water, sterilized it with salt, and then ......
"The weather is so cold, and the sheepskin is so big, how can we ......dry it" The two ladies could only look at Luo Xun for help.
Luo Xun also frowned and looked out the window, if he got the skin out on such a cold day, it was estimated that it would be frozen in a while. If it's pure leather, they can just dry it out, but there is still hair on this thing, and as soon as you take it out, won't it be completely frozen?
Just thinking about it, Zhang Su, who got up late, came in: "What is this for?" โ
Luo Xun's eyes lit up: "Come on, come on!" Beauty, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions! โ
Zhang Su didn't even enter the door, and he didn't say a word, after hearing Luo Xun's words, he immediately raised his hand, and a wind blade flashing cold light flew towards Luo Xunzheng, and was blocked by the metal iron plate that suddenly appeared in the middle, making a huge "dang-" sound.
Xiao Xinran followed Song Lingling's example and raised her hand to rub her little ears, looked at Zhang Su with a black face outside the door, and then looked at Yan Fei who stretched out his hand to block Zhang Su's wind blade with metal.
About half an hour later, Zhang Su stood in a relatively empty room with a dark face, manipulating his wind ability to repeatedly blow the sheepskin that had been folded several times in the room and spread out as much as possible...... Luo Xun's goods really used him as a hair dryer! It's really unbearable for uncles and aunts!
Zhang Su blew the wind for more than half a day to finally get the sheepskin reluctantly, although there are still many steps to deal with, but considering that it is winter now, everyone is not sure when they will use this thing, so Luo Xun still decided to cut it out first, at least get a few large pieces of cloak or large coat that can make people cover with windproof, or even a quilt.
Painstakingly cut them out and lining them piece by piece, a few people in charge of the hands almost felt that their hands were about to be punctured by the needle - mainly because the skin was too hard, and it took half a day of strength every time, even if it couldn't pierce anyone, pressing the end of the needle's nose hard would make people's hands hurt.
Until the night was dark, a small north wind blew outside again, and Li Tie and they still didn't move. Zhang Su waited hungrily, his face became darker and darker, and finally took out his mobile phone directly to dial Wang Duo's phone - fortunately, several of them had electricity on their phones and they all had them with them.
After answering the phone, Wang Duo said that they had come out forty minutes ago, but now they are still struggling on the snow-covered road...... Visually it is still about half the way to home.
"Forty minutes halfway through?!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Su walked to the window and looked out at the snow-covered houses and roads...... Not to mention, it's really possible.
With a dark face, Zhang Su turned around and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Luo Xun was brushing the little guy with Xiao Xinran, and asked casually.
"Get those idiots back." Zhang Su dropped a sentence and was about to go out.
"Wait, they're already halfway away, and even if you go out, it won't make much difference, right?" Luo Xun hurriedly got up and stopped, how difficult the road outside was, of course he and Yan Fei had gone out, why did Zhang Su become irrational?
Zhang Su glanced at him: "I am a wind powerhouse. As he spoke, he glanced at him disdainfully from top to bottom, "You can add a buff to your teammates." โ
So did he deliberately not go to deliver food with himself and Yan Fei last time? It must be, it must be!
Yan Fei took out a few large pieces of black old sheepskin cloak from the shelf next to him and threw them to him: "I'm going to bring them this thing, it's warmer than what they are wearing." โ
At present, the most suitable person to go out to pick up people seems to be only Zhang Su, and the others go out and estimate that they will be frozen to death when they reach a place where they can meet Li Tie and them, and whether they can come back is still a matter of words.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Zhang Su came back with a few people wrapped in sheepskins.
Before entering the door, Li Tie began to complain: "Fortunately, Brother Zhang came to look for us, we were almost robbed halfway!" โ
"Robbery? What are you robbing? Xu Mei and the others asked in surprise.
"Hats, coats, and sheepskins from us!" He Qiankun and Wu Xin clenched their fists with indignation.
After Luo Xun heard this, he looked at Zhang Su with some inexplicability: "Did those people come out to grab things after you gave them the sheepskin, or before?" โ
Zhang Su raised his eyebrows and smiled: "After that." โ
So, in fact, those robbers were attracted by the sheepskin in Zhang Su's hand, right?
Song Lingling hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt?" What happened to those people? โ
Li Tie and the others hurriedly shook their heads and said that they were not injured, and as for those who blocked the road and robbed, Zhang Su said: "Be the cornerstone." โโฆโฆ Highway cornerstone?
Everyone skipped this thought of making people have nightmares in the middle of the night, and waited for Li Tie and the others to return to the room before asking them in detail about their work during the day.
Wang Duo complained with a calm face: "When we arrived today, a few newcomers came, saying that a few technicians were going to come over to help them, but several of them always followed a few of us. โ
He Qiankun nodded and said, "I asked them, and they all have a bit of computer foundation, but they are not deep. โ
"Usually the work we do is not deep, we can master it by learning some professional knowledge, and there are many things once we finish the program, as long as we enter it according to the rules, it will be over, unless the program goes wrong and the system crashes...... However, even if these problems occur, there are experts ...... others," Han Li poured cold water on everyone.
Several people glanced at each other and sighed.
Luo Xun and Yan Fei glanced at each other and asked, "Are they trying to change people?" โ
Li Tie spread his hands: "It was said that we should be the master and bring the newcomers, if we didn't have the phone number during the day today, we would have brought it......" Now I can't help but blame them for being too careful, in today's message, their superiors have expressed great dissatisfaction with the inconvenience of a few of them not living near the barracks to go to work. In fact, not only this time, but they have already heard their superiors complain many times when they had to take a vacation when there were climate problems in the past.
Their colleagues even said that they could help a few of them find an empty house in the house near the barracks, if it was placed in the early days of the end of the world, Li Tie and they would naturally be happy, even if they couldn't live in the barracks, at least they could rest assured that they could live next to the barracks, right? Can now? They are members of the otaku team, and they already have a deep relationship with the team members, and all their materials and property are here, how much effort did it take them here? How can you be willing to give up?
Zhang Su had already thrown his frost-covered coat in the corner of the door, and after hearing their complaints, he sneered: "What to bring?" Resign and go home as soon as possible to save yourself this sin. โ
The five of them looked at each other a few times, and there was some hesitation and unwillingness in their eyes.
Zhang Su continued to pour cold water on them: "If you don't want to quit now, you will have to be kicked by them sooner or later, unless you can have the capital left behind like your program master." But are they really waiting for that capital to let you still live outside? โ
Zhang Su's words can be described as a big truth, and they also fell heavily in the hearts of several people.
Li Tie lowered his head and thought for a while, "Why don't you ...... Let's do it again? If they really don't want to stay, let's resign when the time comes......" Several of them have not officially participated in any formal work before the end of the world, plus these children are more kind and honest, and they always feel that it is not kind to resign on their own initiative, not to mention that when they first arrived at the base, the military still took good care of them, whether it was a house or a job......
Therefore, even if sooner or later there is a day when they quit their jobs, the guilt in their hearts is completely different from that of being fired and resigning on their own initiative.
Zhang Su rolled his eyes, and he was completely too lazy to scold them. If they are really placed before the end of the world, no matter how hard they work, they will be trampled on by their peers who will drill in the workplace. Even after the end of the world, if they don't have such good luck and can get this job at the beginning of the end of the world and join the otaku team, sooner or later they will be used as cannon fodder by their teammates.
However, it is precisely because of their personalities that they have always maintained their current relationship with them, and they are willing to continue to live like this with them and work hard to survive in a team.
"That's right! We're back to work tomorrow! Suddenly, He Qiankun stood up and looked at everyone with bright eyes, "How good resources do we have to work there?" Even if you have to leave sooner or later, you have to get something to come back before you go! As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where everyone usually put the host, "It's also earned to copy more movies and TV when you come back!" โ
"Yes, yes! There are also cross talk sketches! I saw it in their data disk before it snowed, and we'll all take the test when we go back! โ
Several people became excited again, from movies and television before the end of the world to cross talk sketches, and finally talked about various variety shows...... In short, all the useful information, the useful information that they have access to, and they earn more while they are still working there.
Zhang Su rolled his eyes again, got up and walked out: "Ah Q spirit." โ
Li Tie and the others went back to their house to change clothes to keep warm, and Luo Xun and his family returned to their house with their dog. After entering the door, Luo Xun remembered a very important thing, and hurriedly ran to the wall to turn off the light: "I almost forgot!" Dog's Eye, Dog's Eye! โ
Yan Fei understood what he meant, and he remembered it at the first time, but what he said now...... Ordinary people really don't understand.
The two turned off the headlights in the room, the curtains had already been closed, and the whole room was dark at this time, and the two of them got used to it and looked closely at the little one's eyes - why was there not the same light as before?
The dog's eyes and the silhouette of the little one can still be seen, because the light is still on on the other side of the quail cage. Do you need to be in total darkness?
Thinking of this, the two climbed to the bedroom on the second floor with a dog.
It was already dark in the bedroom, and the two of them took the dog directly inside, only to find that the little one's eyes did not shine as they expected.
The two in the dark looked at each other, and Luo Xun scratched his hair in confusion: "What's going on?" โ
"Maybe it's something else?"
"What could it be...... Luo Xun pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Will it let it stay in the dark for a while, and then let's enter the door later?" โ
The two locked the dog in the house, and the bewildered little guy first stood behind the door and stared at the door suspiciously, and after waiting for a while, as soon as Luo Xun and the two opened the door, they saw the little guy wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue happily at the two of them......
"Dogs' ears are very sensitive, I'm afraid it's useless for us to just stand outside the door." Yan Fei patted Luo Xun on the shoulder, so Luo Xun immediately closed the bedroom door and pulled Yan Fei downstairs together, thinking about it and still feeling uneasy, so he simply walked out of his house again, climbed to the fifteenth floor in one breath, and waited in the corridor for ten minutes - during which Xu Mei found that the two of them were chatting with the two of them in the corridor for a while. Then I went back to my house and climbed back to the second floor.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Xun unscrewed the doorknob, and then saw a pair of shiny titanium dog eyes jumping down from the direction of the bedroom bed, pounced on Luo Xun all the way, and crashed directly into his arms.
"Did you see that?! See?! Its eyes are really bright!! In order to avoid uncertainties, the two of them didn't even turn on the small lights in the corridors on the first and second floors, and now they can clearly see that the little guy's eyes are shining!
Wait a minute...... Something seemed wrong just now? "You actually ran to bed!!"
"Tell me, what kind of abilities do you have? Is it only the characteristic of bright eyes? Luo Xun squatted on the ground, kneading the little guy who wanted to lick his face, quite helpless. The fact that the dog's eyes would light up made him decide for the time being that he would not punish the little one for going to bed - after all, they had locked him in the bedroom. Although they proved that there seemed to be something unusual about their dog, there seemed to be nothing special about it except that its eyes were bright just now!
Is it just the ability to "night vision"? What is the use of this ability? By the way, is it really a mutation?
The two of them said that they couldn't communicate happily with each other at all! There's nothing like a language barrier that makes people feel cheated at times like these. Especially the fact that the little guy has any abilities needs to be actively expressed before it can be confirmed by the two, but now in this state, no matter how much Ren Luoxun and the two of them try to instigate it, they can't get an answer......
It's really tiring to be different in race, and it's unclear if they can go out with this next time they go out.
After thinking for a long time, the two of them left the dog back on the first floor, and Luo Xun silently stretched out a handful of first-level colorless crystal nuclei in front of the little guy, feeling a little entangled in his heart, if he swallowed it in one bite...... What should I do if I really become a zombie dog?
The idea in his heart was destined to be unverifiable for the time being, because the little guy just sniffed Luo Xun's hand, then flicked his tail, turned around and ran back to its kennel...... I went to sleep.
The two were silent, speechless, and looked at each other. Yan Fei persuaded: "Let's wait and talk, anyway, we don't have to go out of the base now, and if there is really anything wrong with it every day, we can see sooner or later." "But if the little guy can change without changing his appearance, it's actually a good thing for everyone.
The days passed, and the little guy still didn't show any strange appearance, and Li Tie and the others still ran to the barracks to work every day, with a posture that was about to move the materials of the air force camp, of course, now they carry weapons with them every day so as not to encounter robbers halfway. Although there are more newcomers to their department these days, there are people who follow them almost at any time to steal teachers, but a few people still have the opportunity to bring back a lot of copied materials and hard disks these days. The five heroic young men seemed to have a great grudge against these things, and they would steal something whenever they had the chance, and they were completely undetected! This is truly a miracle.
In late December, the base of the last heavy snow had not been completely cleared, and it actually snowed heavily again. The snow this time was almost as strong as the last time, and the north wind blew for two whole days, and the higher floors listened to the strong sound of air flowing through the cracks in the windows, and they all had the illusion that their buildings would not be blown to pieces.
Fortunately, the middle and high-rise buildings in the southwest base have been newly built in recent years, and they look quite sturdy, otherwise there may really be a building collapse in such a terrible wind.
The bitter north wind and the heavy snow falling from the sky blocked the road that had been cleared again, and the base was once again plunged into a snow disaster, and the houses that had not been built before were once again put to a severe test, and the houses that were โกโก last time did not know what would happen now......
Luo Xun sat on his big chair, facing the overwhelming snow white outside the window, while leisurely drinking a sip of bitter gourd tea - dried at home in the autumn harvest, used to remove the fire in winter.
The little one was lying at his feet, sleeping with his eyelids drooping, but his nose twitched a few times from time to time. Yan Fei sat beside him, and like him, he looked at the sky outside from time to time.
"It's nice to have a fully enclosed terrace to see the snow in the winter and the rain in the summer." Luo Xun swayed his ankles, how could he have such a leisurely life in his previous life? In the winter, it is already a pleasure to be able to rely on the stove to keep warm and roast.
In front of the two of them was a barbecue grill with charcoal inside, this barbecue grill was a cauldron shape, with a metal mesh inside, and burning charcoal blocks underneath, and on top of the net were duck, mutton, eggplant, beans, leeks and other things that had been cut and threaded into skewers. Taking advantage of the strong wind outside, the two decided to watch the snow and eat barbecue here tonight.
Eating barbecue on the post-apocalyptic terrace is something that Luo Xun has wanted to do since before the apocalypse. Unfortunately, since discovering that the aroma of eating meat at home may spread to the outside, the entire otaku team has to be much more careful when cooking, not only will the amount of meat be much smaller when cooking meat dishes, but also try to choose cooking methods that are not very aromatic.
Luo Xun and the others waited for many days to catch up with such a heavy snowfall, and they could eat meat wantonly, what a comfortable day it was!
Yan Fei flipped the meat skewers and vegetable skewers grilled on the shelf, took out the grilled ones and put them on the plate, and helped his dear brush the sauce and sprinkle the seasonings - Luo Xun usually cooks the rice, and it is rare that he can operate it himself today, so why do you have to work hard for him if he doesn't do it himself?
"Okay, mushrooms will have to wait a while." Putting the eggplant and leeks on the plate in front of Luo Xun, Yan Fei looked at the other ingredients on the shelf.
"Let's eat together." Luo Xun held up a bunch of leeks - this thing is an aphrodisiac...... Ahem, cough cough, it's so hard at night, can't you make up for it during the day?
