Back at home, Luo Xun put the dumplings he brought back into the kitchen, they didn't really have much to do today, and the next room had to continue to dry for a while before painting the walls and laying the floor dragon. Some of the vegetables at home need to be planted again and raised to the point where they can produce seeds. Plants that need to be re-germinated and cultivated have just been put into the nursery box this morning. For the time being, it seems that there is nothing else to do.

The little guy was jumping at home while biting and dragging a rope tied to the iron handle that Yan Fei had specially made, grinding his teeth, and after putting the dumplings away, Luo Xun felt that he seemed to faintly hear something?

"What's it called?" Luo Xun listened left and right and asked suspiciously.

Yan Fei was also surprised, and listened carefully, raised his hand and pointed to the nursery room.

The two of them cautiously walked to the nursery room and gently pushed the door open, and then at a glance they saw a small quail egg in the hatching box that had broken at some point, a small, wet, yellow, but a small quail the size of a man's thumb was looking blankly from side to side!

"It's hatched!!" Luo Xun excitedly hugged Yan Fei beside him, turned around and rushed into the nursery room.

Gently remove the small quail and put it in a box that has been prepared long ago, and take the prepared water and the feed prepared earlier.

Newly hatched quails are fragile and need high temperatures, clean drinking water, and suitable food.

Luo Xun is very glad that he has been at home for the past few days, otherwise if the little quail hatches out at home when he needs to go out to work, and no one cares about it after being hungry for a long time...... Ahem, maybe a few will die.

Carefully placed the little quail, watched it eat some mixed feed, and checked the quail eggs that were still hatching to confirm that there seemed to be a few more that were about to hatch, and then pulled Yan Fei out with a sigh of relief.

"It's good, the Chinese New Year's Eve family is Tianding." The fluffy, yellow little thing is so small that it almost melts people's hearts when they look at it.

If it weren't for the fragility of the newly hatched quail, Luo Xun would have the heart to take it out as a pet.

Yan Fei said with a smile: "There will be a few more in a few days, but the house will be lively." ”

Although the Chinese New Year's Eve is placed before the end of the world, due to the rapid pace of people's life and the loss of various traditions, it has gradually become more and more ageless, but in the last days, people who can survive are still very happy that they can live to see the stars on the night of the first day of the new year and the sun in the morning.

At least for the Chinese people, the atmosphere in the base today is far more emotional than it was two months ago during the Gregorian New Year.

To survive this year means that we have taken another step forward in the last days.

The base is located in various places, and the big radio loudspeakers that were temporarily drummed up after the end of the world began to broadcast the Spring Festival Gala recording program that had been recorded in advance and calculated at about 8 o'clock in the evening.

Because there is no way to restore the communication in the base now, this party is basically played in music, songs, cross talk sketches and other art forms that can be expressed in pure language and music. It seems that all of a sudden these entertainment activities have been pushed back to decades ago, but the radio loudspeakers that line the streets and alleys have given the people in the base some spiritual support in a certain way.

Those who did not have a radio at home took advantage of the fact that the weather was not too cold, and many people even simply walked out of their homes and gathered under the loudspeakers to listen to the programs played inside.

People who know and don't know each other gather everywhere to enjoy this rare peaceful and quiet festival.

However, most of these loudspeakers were built in the inner city, and the outer city was not installed immediately because the fence had just been cleared and built. Of course, there is another important reason - the outer city is too close to the wall, what if the noise is too loud to attract zombies? The inner city is much better.

Luo Xun and the two also turned on the announcer after returning early, Luo Xun calmed down from the excitement of hatching quails at home, and went into the nursery room in the afternoon to study it, and finally decided to transform the quail nest, so that the little quails can follow a passage to the small box next to them after hatching, and gather and eat with other companions.

It has to be said that these poultry are comparable to human babies...... No, it's much easier to take care of than the average mammal, after all, they can open their eyes, walk around on their own, and find food to eat as soon as they make a sound. Although equally vulnerable, this is good compared to the fact that the offspring of mammals are born with no eyes open, only instinctively seek out their mother's nursery, and many are unable to move at all.

The surroundings of the incubator were stopped by Luo Xun with things, so as not to cause the little quails to fall to the ground in a panic.

These little quail eggs are only a day or two apart from each other, and once the first one moves and hatches, the rest will naturally be fast, so Luo Xun must prepare in advance.

After a busy afternoon, the two of them were half-lying on the sofa. Luo Xun leaned into Yan Fei's arms, subconsciously ignoring the intention of the "superior" person he had always insisted on...... Of course, in some ways, he is now "pressing" on Yan Fei's body.

There were still a few leftover dumplings on the coffee table next to the sofa, and there was a plate on the table that was completely empty, and it was filled with freshly destroyed sausages—sausages that had been hung on the ceiling and fluttered in the wind, and had been freshly steamed and cut by Luo Xun.

These air-dried chickens, ducks, bacon sausages and other things at home have hardly touched Luo Xun since he entered the last days, on the one hand, because there is still a lot of meat frozen in the refrigerator, which has not been completely eliminated. On the other hand, the air-dried meat could be stored for a longer period of time, after all, Luo Xun wasn't sure how long it would take for them to get meat again—at least for a year.

After the little guy had dinner and ran to the bathroom, he jumped on the sofa after running around the house a few times and begging for a touch.

So the shape of two people and one dog on the sofa became - Yan Fei hugged Luo Xun, and Luo Xun hugged the little guy...... Such a peaceful family of three.

There were all kinds of singing and music on the radio, which set off the already quiet room a little more lively. Under the powerful effect of the biological clock, Luo Xun was a little sleepy at about eleven o'clock, but he still insisted on waiting, at least waiting until after twelve o'clock, eating dumplings on the first day of the new year, and then preparing to go upstairs to sleep.

Therefore, although the Chinese New Year's Eve program after the end of the world is very rare, he did not listen to it much later. It's Yan Fei, because he has to use his ability every night before going to bed, and often he puts this kind of training after tossing Luo Xun, and at that time, he will go to the bathroom to wash up and wipe off his sweat, but he is more suitable for staying up late than Luo Xun.

The two quietly listened to the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve on the radio, the countdown of the hosts, and even the people downstairs, who gathered around the loudspeaker and insisted on listening to the program, couldn't help but cheer at this time.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, although fireworks are not allowed at the base for safety reasons, this New Year's atmosphere is suddenly baked.

Luo Xun smiled and rubbed his eyes, raised his head and took a bite on Yan Fei's chin: "Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year." Yan Fei also lowered his head and kissed him on the face, the little guy thought that the two of them were playing, so he lay on Luo Xun and twisted and twisted the dog's head between the two faces.

Pushing away the dog's head, Yan Fei smiled and raised his hand to take the plate on the side: "Eat dumplings and then sleep, it's the New Year." "Although it was cool, I had a bite to take in the situation.

Luo Xun sat up with a smile, and after eating one each with Yan Fei, he also opened a dumpling and gave it to the little guy who had been curious and kept tossing in his arms. The little one's nose twitched, and then he opened his mouth to grab it, jumped off the sofa, and then lay down in front of the sofa and began to gnaw and chew slowly.

"I also said that this dumpling is mainly vegetables, so I thought it wouldn't eat it." Luo Xun looked at the little guy who could eat vigorously in surprise, and smiled at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei also smiled: "This is not good? For us, vegetables are much easier to get than meat, and it can be eaten and fed later. ”

There were faint cries in the hallway, and it didn't sound too far away. Luo Xun and Yan Fei were surprised at first, and then suddenly thought of something, and after making sure that no one in the corridor opened the door and came out, they didn't go out to investigate the situation - sometimes, people really need to vent happily.

After the two of them and one dog ate, there was still one deliberately left on the plate, Luo Xun got up and stretched and walked to the bathroom: "Brush your teeth and wash your face, get ready to sleep, and you can sleep lazily tomorrow!" ”

"Well, let's have a good day of rest tomorrow." These three days of vacation will be the last day left tomorrow, the two of them tossed the house all day yesterday, and today they made dumplings and cooked with Li Tie during the day, and tomorrow they will simply relax at home for a day, and the day after tomorrow they will continue to work.

Suddenly, the little guy who ate the dumplings straightened up, his eyes stared in the direction of the balcony window, his ears were also erect, and his hind legs first staggered backwards, and then "Wang" in the direction of the window.

"What's wrong?" didn't bother to go to the bathroom to wash, Luo Xun suddenly sobered up. The little guy usually doesn't like to bark indiscriminately, and the last time he called at home was when a group of thieves came in the corridor, so Li Tie and the others obviously lived in the neighborhood with Luo Xun and their neighbors for so long, and they didn't know that he had a dog at home, which shows how well-behaved it is. Even today, when the little quail hatched and there was a cry in the corridor, it obviously heard the sound but never screamed, but now looking at its appearance, did it find something abnormal?

Luo Xun and Yan Fei hurriedly came to the balcony and carefully observed the situation up and down the balcony - plants, there was no abnormality. Outside the window, there is no abnormal ......

Luo Xun thought that there would be thieves who would take advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to come out to commit a crime and try to get down from the roof to screw the door and pick the lock, but now it seems that there is nothing outside.

But the little guy was still tense in a certain direction, and a threatening sound came out of his mouth.

Luo Xun squatted down and wrapped his body around it to comfort it, while Yan Fei opened some windows, both of them were cautious personalities, and they would not ignore the cause of its nervousness just because it was just a dog.

“…… Listen, is there any sound outside? Yan Fei, who was standing at the window, was the first to notice the problem, Luo Xun hurriedly got up and walked to the window, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sound outside.

The loudspeaker had stopped at this point, and there were faint voices downstairs, laughter, and some cries caused by homesickness and fear of the end times—the crowd of people who had just returned home from the show. But in the farther away, it seems faintly ......

- "Cannon! Someone is setting off firecrackers! Luo Xun suddenly figured out the source of those voices, and looked at Yan Fei beside him in surprise.

Yan Fei also frowned and looked into the distance suspiciously: "That direction...... It seems to be a little far away......"

“…… It can't be a perimeter wall, right?! ”

――――――――――

Several military jeeps whizzed in a certain direction towards the outer wall, and there was a faint sound of fire and firecrackers in the distance, and their vehicles had just turned a corner when they saw a crowd of people laughing around the ruins not far away.

"Extinguish it now! Grab them all! ”

"Hey, hey! Why arrest people! ”

"Let go, let go of me!"

"Mom's ......"

The cries and protests of men and women were interrupted by the sound of firecrackers that had been forcibly extinguished as they were stuffed into the car.

In several places in the outer base, there are people who have been forcibly taken away for setting off firecrackers.

"Why aren't we allowed to fire guns?! Is it still called the New Year if you don't fire a cannon during the New Year? What's in your way?! ”

"It's just that after being tossed around by those ghost-like things outside for so long, aren't we allowed to set off firecrackers to get bad luck and scare away ghosts? Isn't it just to scare ghosts during the New Year! ”

The protests were incessant, making the faces of the soldiers in charge of the rhyme extremely ugly.

Relying on the fact that the base wall had just been built, they felt that the base had become much safer, and the location of the firecrackers was not too close to the wall, so they took out the firecrackers they had collected outside before coming to the base, and wanted to go to the bad luck.

It's not that they can't understand what they're thinking, but—

"Chief! I'm going to send all these people outside to guard the wall!" Zombies are sensitive to sound and will be attracted by sounds, and fools know that I think they are hearted! A little soldier was so angry that his eyes were red, and he said loudly to the leader in the car who was responsible for maintaining law and order.

"Yes, chief! Our soldiers have to guard outside on Chinese New Year's Eve, but just because they set off firecrackers indiscriminately, how many zombies have been attracted outside?! ”

The person in charge took a deep breath with a calm face, and glared at a few angry soldiers: "What did they let them do?" Mess up! Dare to set off firecrackers to attract zombies in the base, get them over and wait for the defensive offensive to be destroyed by them! ”

"But ......, how can it be over like this?!" Originally, there were a lot of zombies because of the strong smell of humans here in the base, and they gathered more and more these days, but tonight, as soon as someone in the base suddenly set off firecrackers, it made those already crazy zombies even more excited! It also attracted zombies from farther away to suddenly attack several defense points after hearing the sound! They had already received a distress call, and if it weren't for their duty to maintain security in the base, they would have to go out of the city to support those sites!

The person in charge took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, shook his head slightly, and said, "For their disposal orders, they must also obey the arrangements of their superiors. "He can't do it for sure, but from what he thinks - these people who are causing chaos in the base should be thrown outside to guard the fence!

The faces of the people who were caught hearing this conversation changed slightly, and they shrank back and did not dare to speak loudly anymore, for fear that none of these soldiers would be unhappy and really throw themselves out of the base. They finally came to the base and lived a relatively peaceful life, how could they still be willing to go out?

"Big brother, I really didn't set off the cannon, I just heard the movement and went over to watch the lively ......"

"Yes, Brother Bing, I haven't let go of the cannon either!"

After hearing the words of a few more clever people, the rest of the people who reacted quickly also hurriedly showed their innocence, and chaos broke out in the originally quiet carriage.

"Shut up! If there is any more nonsense, I will just throw you out! A soldier who was already angry raised his gun and fired two shots into the air before the carriage fell silent.

――――――――――

Someone in the base is firing artillery, although it's not sure if the firing position is far or near the perimeter wall? But today's first-level zombies have much stronger hearing than the original zombies, Luo Xun is very sure, if it is on the street outside the base, even if there are cars passing by on the road across two streets, these first-level zombies can hear the sound chasing over, not to mention the bright sound of cannons?

"Alas, there will be a lot of excitement outside the fence tonight." Luo Xun sighed in a low voice.

Yan Fei nodded slightly, but still smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the wall has been built, and there will be no major incidents." ”

Luo Xun naturally also understands that today's first-level zombies can't jump onto a wall that is three meters high. But the guards who were on guard around the perimeter of the wall, in the trenches and stakes, near the spikes, and at several passes, were in trouble. The original purpose of these soldiers was to help guard and kill the zombies in case of survivors running or military vehicles coming in. But at such times, they may encounter a lot of dangers.

"Let's go, it's time for us to sleep." Yan Fei closed the window, and they couldn't interfere in the outside affairs, and they couldn't interfere.

"Hmm." Turning around, the little guy was too honest to bark anymore, flicked his little tail and twisted back to the kennel dedicated to him in the living room, and lay down to get ready to sleep.

The holiday days are always short and luxurious, Luo Xun and they welcomed the first generation and first member of their poultry on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the next morning, they found two more small quails that had just hatched in the incubator.

The three quails came together and made a low and faint cry that almost made a man to the bone.

"We'll be able to put them together with the big quails in a week or so!" Luo Xun excitedly gathered outside the box to observe the three fluffy little things inside - his own hatching rate is not bad, the first three eggs have all hatched, and none of them have been wasted!

Yan Fei manipulated the metal to ring the claws of the little quails with the mark "2.x (x is also a number, representing the first number)" to mark the second batch of hatched quails: "Aren't you going to give them a few more?" ”

"When these little things grow up, their homes are still too cold, and they can't support them now." Luo Xun gently grabbed a one that had just hatched today, and carefully distinguished the male and female.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Fei leaned over to watch with him after making the ankle ring.

"I'll see if I can separate the male and female...... No, it's hard to tell when they're older. Luo Xun regretfully put down the little thing that he had ravaged for a long time, and made sure that the three quails were relatively healthy and they didn't have to worry about it for the time being, so he pulled Yan Fei to work with him and did other things.

After lazily resting at home for the last day, Luo Xun and Yan Fei got up early in the morning to get dressed and prepare to go out.

After the two entered the corridor, they saw that the door of Li Tie's room was also open, and Han Li waved to the two of them and went to knock on the door of 1602 next door.

"Zhang Su isn't going to work today, right? I remember he would be put in the third year of junior high school? Luo Xun straightened the strap of his backpack and walked over suspiciously and asked.

"Yes, Brother Zhang won't go, but we're going to ask Wang Duo to go with us." Li Tie yawned and said indistinctly.

"Wang Duo? He didn't go back last night? Yan Fei raised his eyebrows amusedly, his face full of schadenfreude.

Li Tie, Wu Xin, and Han Li immediately nodded deeply with a "you know" expression: "Why didn't you come back last night?" The night of the thirtieth did not pass! He moved all his stuff in during the day yesterday! ”

Luo Xun also waited at the gate of 1602 with a funny face, and then saw the gate open, Wang Duo's face was slightly tired, but he was extremely excited: "Are you going to work?" I've got it all packed! ”

Everyone stared at his slightly pale complexion, then at his legs.

Wang Duo was so shocked by this Qi brushing gaze that his hairs stood on end, and he took a step back: "You, what are you looking at?" ”

"Let's see if you can walk."

Wang Duo's face turned red at first, and then he puffed up his chest and looked proud: "Cut, who is my brother?!" "He's obviously on top!

Suddenly, his whole person fell forward violently, revealing Zhang Su who slowly retracted his feet and returned with an impatient face: "What are you doing here?" ”

Compared with Wang Duo's slightly pale face, Zhang Su's face was ruddy, the brilliance on his face was shining, and his whole body exuded a lazy atmosphere, coupled with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be able to pour out water...... Ahem, everyone present looked at Wang Duo who had just gotten up from the ground with a flattering smile with admiration - to satisfy such a goblin, child, we are not afraid that you will be crushed below, we are afraid that you will have kidney deficiency......

Wang Duo leaned over to Zhang Su with a standard dog-legged smile, exuding a breath of "If you don't kick it, then kick it again!" I'm definitely not hiding! The dog's legs have a sense of sight, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly. Zhang Su didn't appreciate his face at all to look at this skinless and faceless goods, so he put his coat on his body and walked out.

"You're going out?" You can't blame Luo Xun for their surprise, when Second Lieutenant Ding came over that day, he said that he could let Zhang Su rest comfortably at home for three days, what was he doing today? Could it be that there were still fish that slipped through the net that night?

Zhang Su spread his hands: "You are all gone, what am I doing at home?" "Although his family has the shelves and other things that Li Tie and they gave him before that can be used to grow vegetables, firstly, he will not get this thing at all, and secondly, the climate is not warm now, and the thermal insulation measures of his house are not as good as Li Tie's and them. Sanlai - he doesn't want to stay at home alone, he would rather go to the hospital to abuse those patients who run around and get injured, such as giving them a few more stitches and less anesthetics~.

And such a good employee who is selfless and doesn't want overtime pay and has to go to work? Everyone looked at each other silently, and didn't ask much about it, Yan Fei had already opened the door and was waiting at the door.
