Chapter 30: The Members
(Thirty chapters before I know it...... Another 6000 renewal ticket popped up...... Do you want to make Xiaoice double change todayQAQ...... There might be another chapter...... Of course, it's more likely that there is no XD...... When I didn't say it...... )
The three of them returned to their residences, and then several waves of people came over to invite the three of them to join, but after knowing that the three of them had joined the third team, they could only leave in a huff, and at the same time regretted that they were late.
Soon, after informing each other, several forces in the base also knew that the three of them were already "famous flowers", so they no longer paid attention to the three of them.
He Li and the three of them began to prepare for the fire after resting for a while, including pulse guns and emergency biochemical grenades. To be honest, He Li and them are still quite unlucky, they have just entered the survivor base and have not rested before they have to go out to clean up the zombies, they must be extremely dissatisfied with other people, but He Li and they don't care, after all, they are not like others who escaped in the real death crisis, most of the time, the danger He Li and they face is not a death crisis. And what really consumes the mind is those death crises.
Ready, after the afternoon, the three of them enjoyed a nice dinner served by the base. It rests quickly after dark, and it's troublesome to work without light, and it's inconvenient to use He Li's fire-based ability for lighting. Besides, there are tasks to be completed tomorrow, so it would be a good idea to rest early.
Without electricity, most people have returned to the primitive routine of sunrise and daily rest, and the survivor base is quiet at night, except for the soldiers responsible for night defense who are still patrolling diligently to protect the base.
……
A rare peaceful night passed, and the next morning passed.
The rhythmic knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk ......" put an end to the short period of stable life since He Li and the three of them came to this survivor base.
"It's time to go." He Li picked up a mountaineering bag and said lightly.
In fact, He Li is actually not particularly concerned about the tasks of the survivor base, but more of curiosity and training for himself, and the tasks assigned by the survivor base are only secondary. If he really encounters any danger that may threaten his life, He Li will not care about the mission of the survivor base, and he must have slipped away! It's just a matter of whether you can run away.
Although it seems to be shameless, if you really encounter this kind of thing, it is estimated that everyone will choose this way. Living well is, of course, more important than anything else. The kind of person who values the task of the collective more than his life, in He Li's view, is either an idiot or a poor person who has been brainwashed.
The three of them each carried a hiking bag and followed the attendant who led the way to the gathering place of the zombie cleaning team.
Chen Mo still lowered her head slightly, walking quietly, looking like a shy little girl, but she was surrounded by an invisible qi, which made people feel respectful and distant from her.
Xingyu still looks cynical, which makes people feel that he is unreliable at all, but He Li knows that he is the most reliable almost all the time, and Xingyu's cynicism seems to be just an illusion made when he is stable.
He Li looked around curiously from time to time, and she saw that the eyes of people passing by showed either envy or pity, and He Li even heard the conversations of a few more daring people.
"Look, those men follow the guide! Looks like an evolutionary! ”
"Cut, what's wrong with the evolutionary? Looks like it's going to be a mission! Whether he will be able to come back alive is still a question. ”
"Yes, yes, there are a hundred evolutionaries who have died in the base so far, right? Those soldiers died even more, so these evolutionaries are arrogant now, right? Wherever we are, as long as we work hard, we still have food and shelter, and we don't have to risk our lives like them. ”
"Well, let's go to work hard, maybe we can get a few more crystals, and we can have a good ......."
"Uh-huh, let's go!"
Seeing He Li's eyes glancing over, the two people who were talking suddenly ran away like thieves.
"Sister, ignore them."
"Hmm." He Li just nodded.
She didn't think much of it.
She could also see that the ordinary people in the survivor base had two views on evolutionary beings.
One is to envy the strength of the evolutionary, envy the treatment of the evolutionary, and yearn to become an evolutionary.
The other is that the work of the evolutionary is not as dangerous as that of ordinary people, and even more so, there seems to be a little contempt for the evolutionary like the two just now. It's just that they forget that their lives are still supported by the evolutionaries and those soldiers whom they despise and piment.
No one said anything about it, and everyone seemed to know it. Some ideas are indeed unavoidable.
The location of the zombie clean-up team is close at hand, and several small bungalows are lined up there, as always, but the feeling for He Li today is completely different from yesterday, and there is a sense of solemnity and tension.
"A few, I'll have to send it here." The guide, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke, stopped at the entrance, and said respectfully, "I am not allowed to enter here." ”
"Well, it's fine." He Li said casually, "Xiaoyu, silently, let's go in!" ”
He Li pushed open the door of the small bungalow where the third team was stationed, and a smell made her frown.
The smell of smoke, sweat, and some inexplicable but disgusting smell mixed together was disgusting. Although the windows of the small bungalow are all open, it still seems that it can't blow away the smell that seems to be fixed here.
He Li also frowned when he noticed Xingyu on the side, although this action made him look even more ...... Belch...... Lovely. But this did not prevent He Li from seeing that Xingyu also did not like the smell here.
In a sense, some of the stars who are obsessed with cleanliness can't stand these things.
He Li also noticed that Xingyu clenched a hand tightly, she didn't doubt now that if there were no consequences, Xingyu would not hesitate to freeze all this place.
Well, I remember Xingyu said that he liked the cool and clear smell of pure ice. He Li took advantage of this time to start relaxing and thought.
And Chen Mo, whose sense of existence was about to disappear, also changed his face rarely, and it seemed that the disgusting smell was still quite lethal to the girl.
He Li looked into the room.
Every window was open to let in as much sunlight as possible, but the room still looked dim - not because of the lack of sunlight, but because of the heavy smoke that overlapped the room.
He Li swept away at a glance, ten men in black leather clothes, each with cigarettes in their mouths, were swallowing clouds and spitting smoke, and there were many cigarette butts on the ground, some of which were still smoking, burning the delicate solid wood floor into charred black patches.
None of the ten men spoke, just smoked cigarette after cigarette in silence, as if that were the only purpose of their lives.
He Li was extremely dissatisfied with these people right now, and she didn't want to fight with a group of smokers.
"Yike...... You're coming! Bei Huan's voice came, but it was behind him.
"Let's go sit in that gazebo for a while!" Bei Huan walked up, pointed to the small pavilion in the courtyard, and said, "It's really uncomfortable inside." ”
It seems that Beihuan is also very disgusted by those people's smoking.
"Aren't you going to stop it?" He Li glanced back at the small bungalow, where every window was smoking like a chimney, and it looked like the small bungalow was on fire.
"Let them go!" Bei Huan sighed low and said, "Their pressure is not small. ”
"Huh?"
"That's right, in fact, these people are equivalent to being sent by the base to us to use as cannon fodder." Bei Huan explained, his voice a little gloomy, "Even if we don't let them take risks, the mission is still very dangerous, and those people are not as good as the evolutionaries, so their mortality rate is actually very high, basically the mortality rate of each mission is seventy or eighty percent, so they are actually under a lot of pressure now." ”
"If they want to smoke, let them smoke, it might be the last time anyway." Bei Huan paused for a moment before continuing, "And didn't you notice that no one smokes anywhere else in the base?" ”
"Huh?" He Li thought back to what he had seen and heard this day, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"In fact, cigarettes are also a luxury now, except for those with high contribution value, all of them will be supplied to those who are going to follow our zombie cleanup team on a mission." Bei Huan continued, "That's also a way for them to relieve pressure, we don't care so much, they are still quite reliable when they really fight." Don't look at them like they are now, when they are done relaxing, they will start preparing for battle. ”
He Li was still a little puzzled, since it was so dangerous to participate in the work of the zombie cleanup team, why would someone still come?
"Actually, these people participate in the zombie cleanup team for profit." Bei Huan seemed to see He Li's thoughts, and said, "The reward of each mission is enough for a person to live in peace and stability for a year, most of these people still come with the idea of fighting once, even if they die, the survivor base will hand over the mission reward to the person they designated before departure." ”
He Li nodded casually in understanding.
It seems that those people are also pitiful, whether it is for themselves or for their relatives, they are all fighting desperately, which is also the reason why the survivor base gives these missions high returns, right? In that case, then don't worry about it so much, just feel free now, as long as you don't drop the chain at the critical moment.
He Li walked to the gazebo and sat down, the cool breeze was blowing, and the hanging chairs in the pavilion were shaky, which was unexpectedly comfortable, making people feel a sense of physical and mental peace.
"Would you like tea?" Bei Huan took out a jar of tea, which is now also a luxury, and asked.
Tea? He Li tilted his head.
To be honest, she had rarely drunk this kind of brewed tea, and it seemed that she had only seen her grandfather drink it before the end of the world. It seems that the only so-called tea drinks she has drunk are those so-called tea drinks supported by food additives, right?
"Can you give me a drink? Thank you. Unexpectedly, Xingyu on the side actually spoke.
He Li glanced at him in surprise, he didn't think that Xingyu would like tea?
"Well, if you can, give me a drink!" Chen Mo on the side was also unusual, and he actually spoke.
Huh? He Li found that tea, a drink, was subverting her cognition.
"No problem!" Beihuan smiled, "Do you want a drink?" ”
He Li thought for a while and said, "Then thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
She is now suddenly interested in tea as a drink.
"Hmm. It's okay. Bei Huan took the boiling water and cups that he didn't know where to go, and gently placed four cups of steaming tea on the table at a dizzying speed, "Please use it!" ”
The twisted tea leaves stretch into elegant shapes in boiling water, and the fragrance permeates from them, which is refreshing. After a while, the tea takes on a clear light green color, accompanied by a fresh fragrance, which has an alluring feeling.
He Li found that this tea still has some doorways, that is, this fragrance has a strange power that can cleanse people's hearts and spleens.
Pick up the teacup and take a sip, the warm tea mixed with the elegant fragrance seems to have a mysterious and unpredictable power, as if to purify the body and mind of the person.
It is a drink that has been passed down for thousands of years. He Li thought, reminiscing about the taste in his mouth, the faint bitterness contained sweetness, which was amazing.
"Does my sister like it?" Xingyu on the side smiled at He Li and said.
"Hmm." He Li nodded, revealing a smile.
In the small gazebo, the fragrance is elegant, everyone enjoys this rare time of leisure and comfort, there are no words, the breeze blows, as if all this is like a dream.
But no one has forgotten that it will not be long before they will have to face the perilous outside world, and the little quiet and leisurely now is more like the last bit of enjoyment before the war.
