24. Chapter XXIV

"You...... Seriously? ”

"Hmm."

At night, Xu Jing really held the sleeping bag for travel and lay down on the Chase bunk. He was so long, and half of his calves hung on the outside of the plank, just enough to cut the whole bunk out and use his body to block out the prying eyes of others. He left room for Ji Tang on the right-hand side.

"Great God." Ji Tang comfortably found a place in his arms and asked quietly, "If there is no end times, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

Xu Jing was silent for a long time, "Scientist. ”

"Then you say, can humans develop a vaccine against zombies?" Ji Tang has read many apocalyptic novels, each of which has a magnificent ending. But when she really faced the zombies today, she was not sure. She and Xu Jing are the heroes and heroines of this world, but their mission is not to save the world.

So, they will get married on a pile of ruins and let this space collapse?

"Yes." He paused and said lightly, "But their research is in the wrong direction." ”

Xu Jing said that he was wrong, then he must be wrong. She trusts his judgment, even though he's just an inconspicuous high school student now. Ji Tang sighed, and his mind flashed the burning streets, the splashed blood, and the cry of the baby...... These are the memories of the original owner. For the original owner, every qiē is a real human tragedy that has happened, and every scene is heart-wrenching.

An impulse suddenly rose up in her, "Let's go to the base in S City, okay?" The largest research institute in the country is located there. ”

With Xu Jing's comprehension ability, she doesn't have to poke it directly, but she can understand what she means. She wants him to participate in the research and development of zombie vaccines to help mankind come out of the apocalypse.

Making this decision was not easy for Ji Tang. This meant that she had to waste a lot of time on the second copy, and she was doing it in vain, knowing that the world was just a set of program code. But the strange thing is that when she said this, she didn't hesitate much, nor did she regret much, she only felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Xu Jing's voice seemed to be very close to her, but it seemed to come from a long distance, and it fell into her ears lightly, and there was only one word-"Okay." ”

Ji Tang's heart softened and floated, "Thank you." She rested on her arm, stared at him for a moment, and said softly. Xu Jing let out an "um" and closed his eyes, "Go to sleep." ”

As soon as Ji Tang closed his eyes, the darkness seemed to be full of his shadows, swaying in front of him. She opened her eyes slowly, and her gaze lingered on his handsome face for a long time, repeatedly confirming that he was the real Cunzài, and then closed them again, and fell asleep with her eyebrows crooked.

Under the cold moonlight, Xu Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his slender eyes flashed with the fine projection of moonlight. He reached out a hand from his sleeping bag and tucked the quilt for the girl in his arms, "Good night." ”

Lying on the edge of the bed, she licked her messy hair, yawned tiredly, the brilliance in the cat's eyes gradually dimmed, and she lost focus like a fugue-

"Lao Chuan and Li Qiao, you follow me into the vault, Lao Wu, you stay in the car and pick us up as soon as possible." Qin Yue's gaze fell on Xu Jing, "Xu Jing, you are responsible for opening the way, and after you finish solving the zombies on the periphery, you will stay at the door to prevent them from coming in, no problem, right?" ”

Obviously, he wanted Xu Jing to deal with all the zombies alone.

"As for Ji Tang, you are still sick, so let's have a good rest." Qin Yue said considerately, "Anyway, there is not much space left for your twenty cubic meters, so this time let Lao Chuan and Li Qiao come back with sacks." ”

She was not allowed to participate in the operation at all, and sure enough, he didn't trust her. However, this is also normal, after a few rounds of fuss, the rest of the team has isolated her and Xu Jing. Ji Tang pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted coldly, hugged his arms and said, "Whatever, I'll be idle anyway." ”

The car drove to the city center and stopped at an intersection.

It is so desolate and dilapidated that it is hard to believe that not so long ago it was one of the most prosperous cities in China. Half-broken traffic lampposts crossed the road, and the blood from the first massacre had long since dried up, congealing on the pavement tiles, and the sewers smelled fishy.

Xu Jing, Qin Yue and the others glanced at her before leaving.

Ji Tang nodded at him.

Only she and a boy named Wu Mingliang were left in the car. The latter was sitting in the driver's seat eating instant noodles, staggering and sucking.

"Old Wu, look, Maserati." Ji Tang pointed to a sports car parked in the middle of the road and said enviously, "If only I could drive away." "There are a lot of cars scattered on the road, all of which were caused by the owner's accident on the day of the apocalypse, either because they were infected and became zombies, or they were dragged out by zombies and eaten.

Wu Mingliang said disdainfully: "What is this, I saw a Bugatti Veyron last time." There are birds, and the whole carriage is combined, and there are not enough boxes of instant noodles. ”

Ji Tang smiled, "You say, if I go down and drive a lap, will it be broken?" ”

"Do you know how to drive?" Wu Mingliang raised a pair of mung bean eyes from above the instant noodles and sneered, "You won't step on the accelerator and brake, right?" "He is not a student of No. 1 Middle School, he is Qin Yue's fox friend in a foreign school, he went to a secondary school, and he studied auto repair.

"I've never eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run, I saw my parents drive it, and I wanted to take the driver's license test after the college entrance examination." Ji Tang lost his temper, "I still have to show you." He opened the door.

"Hey! Don't just get out of the car, this is the city center, and zombies will appear at any time. ”

Wu Mingliang hurriedly stopped her, but it was too late. Ji Tang thought that he got out of the bus, opened the car door, sat in the Maserati, and grimaced at him from afar.

"I can't blame this stinky girl for being killed by zombies. But why is she holding that native cat, isn't that Xu Jing's? Sure enough, there was a leg. Wu Mingliang shook his head, picked up the bowl of instant noodles again, and drank the soup until there was no water left. Putting down the plastic bowl, I saw Ji Tang driving a car, swaying in an "S" shape on the road like he was drunk.

"Hey, it's really pumping her up. But this technology, tsk! Hey? She's ...... Damn, where the fuck is she going to drive? Wu Mingliang stood up, opened the car window, and shouted at the street, "Ji Tang, come back quickly!" Ji Tang - "-

The fool came back.

Ji Tang stepped on the accelerator, flew out of the block, and drove the car to the farmers' market at the back gate of the gold store according to the original owner's memory of the city. I went down to find a seed shop and swept away the seeds of all kinds of grains and fruits. I ran into a small wave of zombies on the way, but fortunately, there were no evolutionary species, and they were all the slowest ones.

She hurriedly stuffed the seeds into the space, took out the speed of 100 meters in the test that year, slipped into the car, and slammed on the accelerator.

As soon as the royal blue Maserati opened to the back door of the gold shop, she saw a long figure standing there. Xu Jing carried two bags of marijuana and stood on the sidewalk in a rather comical manner. She laughed unkindly, poked out half of a watermelon head out of the car window, and beckoned to him.

Xu Jing sat in the passenger seat. She put the two sacks into the space, "You took them all, didn't leave any for them?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded.

"What about people, they're not dead, are they?" She scoured the car with two sunglasses, tossed him a pair, and put one on herself. Looking in the rearview mirror, this is a bit of a woman's style.

Xu Jing took the sunglasses and put them aside. With a faint "meow", he jumped from the back seat to his lap. He put it on Miao's big face, then held the cat to look left and right, adjusted the balance of the frame, "I don't know, it's surrounded by zombies." Do you have a motor vehicle driver's license? Of course, the latter sentence was said to Ji Tang.

"Nope." Ji Tang grinned, "But I'm an old driver." ”

Xu Jing looked at her with distrust and said, "...... Or I'd better open it. ”

It's like you have a driver's license as a little kid. My sister has also had a driver's license for seven or eight years, isn't it as good as you? She pursed her lips, adjusted her seat, and shouted, "Sit tight, the old driver is about to start!" ”

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and Maserati was gone in the silence of the street-

Twenty minutes later, the two stood in front of an off-white single-family villa in Tianfu Xiandu Community.

Xu Jing unlocked the combination lock, pushed open the door, and led her in.

Ji Tang stood curiously in the hallway, looking left and right. It turns out that this is Xu Jing's home? Even if there is a little dust, you can see that it is a luxury house with a full set of European decoration. Solid wood furniture, arched bay windows, just not like Xu Jing's style at all.

Dracula Jing doesn't have parents she can understand, but Xu Jing ...... There should still be a family, why haven't you heard him mention it at all? She exhaled in frustration, sure enough, her favorability had not been enough.

Xu Jing said, "You wait for me." "Pick up Miao Miao and walk upstairs.

"Oh." Ji Tang was embarrassed to wander around other people's houses, so he went to the bathroom to wash his hands. She saw a Snoopy's toothbrush stuck in the mouthwash cup, and she was immediately cute. After looking around weakly, after making sure that Xu Jing was not there, he secretly stuffed the toothbrush into his backpack.

Looks like a pervert. She spurned that she had not been disciplined, but she still pretended to be nothing and returned to the living room.

Xu Jing happened to be walking down the stairs.

"Ah, everything is ready?" Ji Tang saw that he was holding a stack of notebooks and several medicinal droppers in his hands. It looks like it has been cleaned up, and it's much cleaner than before.

He bowed slightly, "Let's go to the garage." ”

"Isn't there a Maserati?" Ji Tang was really a little reluctant. She's never driven such a good car in her entire life, so it's good to put it in space.

Xu Jing took two steps out, and when he saw that she hadn't followed, he turned around and said, "There is a better one." ”

Better? Maybach, Lamborghini? A global limited edition?

Ji Tang spinelessly snorted and obediently followed him.

It wasn't until the curtain of Xu Jing's underground garage rose that Ji Tang finally understood what the phrase "there is better" meant.
