"Your home?" Du Qinyue looked at him as if she knew Xu Sheng for the first time, raised her head and said, "Since your family is so big, let's go and take a look?" You might as well be able to use it as a base. ”

Xu Sheng nodded indifferently: "Of course, let's go to the door now." ”

Zhang Hongjun groaned for a while, and glanced at Lian Qingyun, it should be.

Xu Sheng looked back at the poisonous wolf and the others, strode over, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. He is going home to deal with urgent matters, so we will separate for the time being." Then he handed a small note in his hand to the poisonous wolf: "This is my Kyoto address, you can contact it at any time." ”

The poisonous wolf raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him, and his angry face was only a little loosened when he started queuing up outside the city: "Okay, definitely." "I didn't expect that there was someone who could lie dormant so deeply that he couldn't even hide his eyes. Kyoto is still a great place for outstanding people.

Qing Dai was still talking to Du Qinyue: "Shouldn't you go home first?" Even if you have contacted it before, your parents must have seen it with their own eyes to be relieved. ”

Du Qinyue pouted: "My parents are busy with work, and now is the time to work, so I won't bother, they can trust my combat effectiveness." I'm worried that it's you, I believe that Xu Sheng has a house, but I don't believe that he will let you go! ”

Qing Dai only felt a fever on her face: "What are you talking about?" ”

Du Qinyue frowned and muttered: "What, you are eyebrows, I am not blind." Originally, it was delivered to the door for free, and I didn't say anything about a bodyguard plus a charger, if he wanted to take you away. You're going to get past me first! ”

Qing Dai saw that Xu Shengdu had already walked back, and couldn't help but turn her head and look at the scenery.

The twins finally finished their examination and ran over with a snap. Everyone had already arrived, went to the registration office and filled in their personal information, completed the procedure, gave up the application for housing, and stepped into the safe zone.

The moment she walked out of the crowd, Qing Dai was startled by the cold air, and then sighed deeply: "This registration procedure really gives people a sense of belonging, and it is different from the feeling in the morning." ”

Du Qinyue nodded in agreement: "It does feel different." I'm hungry......"

Qing Dai was choked. I had to ask, "Shall we go to eat first, or should we find a house to rest first?" ”

Zhang Hongjun said casually: "Let's go eat first, anyway, our luggage is not with us, and it is almost the same everywhere." The people live on food. ”

The twins cleverly pulled out a pamphlet: "This is what we and the staff wanted." A new map of Kyoto! ”

"All the canteens and working accommodations are marked."

Qing Dai looked at the energetic appearance of the two children. Remembering that they were exceptionally silent when they walked with the poisonous wolf, his heart sank a little, but he still smiled: "You are so smart. But we have a guide, you can talk to him and take his place in the future. ”

Ou Hui patted the eager Ou Ming and said happily: "Okay, wrap it up on us." ”

Qing Dai opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't say anything, just nodded in approval with a smile. At the moment, she feels that teenagers who are too sensible are also a sweet burden, they are easily restless, worried, and embrace the world with enthusiasm, afraid of being abandoned and forgotten. But the world favors independence and the strong, and if you don't realize this, you may distort what should be a good life, and you may face the sadness of despair.

It didn't take long for a few people to refuse the self-recommendation of a few "guides", and Hua Junpeng appeared at the agreed intersection.

Seeing that there were only a few people in Qingdai and no poisonous wolves, Hua Junpeng showed a puzzled look.

Zhang Hongjun said with a smile: "That group of people will have something to do, you take a few of us to find a place to eat first, and the specific situation will be talked about later." ”

Hua Junpeng didn't ask much, nodded his head to show understanding, and then smiled: "Do you have any taboos or special favorite foods?" There are many restaurants in Kyoto, so there are some different flavors, the closest to here are the spicy from the northwest, and the farther is the light and sweet taste of the south...... However, now vegetables are all mutated varieties cultivated in greenhouses, which are more expensive. ”

Qing Dai hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you still use the original currency for consumption now?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, only then did they realize that they had ignored this detail, and they ran away with their lives along the way, at most they "broke through the empty door" for the necessities of life, and the currency was basically invalid. Even if you encounter a human gathering place, it is also a standard life similar to a military camp, with special requirements and special applications, and there is no "consumption" at all, so no matter whether Kyoto uses the original currency or uses the new monetary standard, several people are poor.

Du Qinyue grabbed her hair, and said with some confidence: "Otherwise, let's go home and have a look?" "By the way, get some money for dinner first.

Hua Junpeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll pay for this meal first, and then return it to me." Kyoto no longer has the same currency, but instead uses a crystal from the bones of mutated animals. ”

As he spoke, he took out a translucent block between a square and a circle from his pocket and spread it in the palm of his hand for everyone to see: "That's it, after the official treatment, even if there is an anti-counterfeiting currency." ”

Du Qinyue laughed: "Aren't those rich people in the past miserable?" The assets are voided. ”

Hua Junpeng shook his head and said: "No, they have their own way of dealing with it, some of the assets are registered, and some of them are exchanged for this kind of currency in kind." ”

Zhang Hongjun looked at Hua Junpeng and said solemnly: "Why do you want to do this? Is it the previous monetary inflation? ”

Hua Junpeng saw that he still had to go for a while, and also opened the chatterbox belonging to the people of Kyoto: "Inflation is a small thing, if it is so simple, it is estimated that the money in the past can barely be replenished now, where is it convenient to carry banknotes with this little thing?" ”

Seeing that everyone else was listening seriously, Hua Junpeng became even more energetic: "When the sky changed just now, everyone was frightened, even those powerful people in my compound, they were in a mess. However, there are many people with many eyes, and everyone has thrown away what they have at hand and fled all. They set their sights on the gold, silver, and banknotes, especially the bank vault, and the two Adepts were able to break through ordinary safes. You say that they like these things, and they can take them and leave, but no one can figure out whether it is theirs or not, who knows that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they actually fight because of uneven distribution. Later, I don't know what happened, some people who had just fled for their lives turned back to get things, and robberies and murders were endless. Windfall. It's more important than life. I can't figure out if these people have gone crazy. ”

Qing Dai and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they couldn't imagine that kind of scene at all. When your life is dying, you are worried about money? Won't they be afraid?

Du Qinyue asked all these questions, but Hua Junpeng shook his head and sighed: "I just met the zombie monster. They are indeed only concerned about running for their lives. Who called the army too powerful. Several of the hardest-hit areas were cleared in a matter of hours. Especially in those places where there are many nobles, the special teams and anti-drug departments are dispatched en masse, except for those who died on the spot. Basically, they were saved. Originally, the epidemic prevention department also said that it would observe the injured people, but those powerful people did not have many brains, and the result was a swarm of bees, picking up leaks, looking for lost property, looting, and driving out all the people in the army. ”

Needless to say, everyone also figured out that if the chaos is like that, the banknotes have become the culprit, and if they are not invalidated, they are detonating the criminal phenomenon.

Qingdai looked at Du Qinyue, who had been heartless, and frowned, Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun had gloomy faces, and people who had survived from life and death couldn't understand such madness. But Xu Sheng seemed to be just listening to some weather records, his face was calm, and he said, "What happened later? Why did you choose this thing as a currency? ”

Hua Junpeng threw away the small crystal in his hand, and said indifferently: "Later, the currency was abolished, and then the whole people were under military management, and they all lived on quotas." And in order to reduce public anger, the privileged class and ordinary people use similar things. ”

Zhang Hongjun snorted coldly: "It's strange that they agreed." ”

Hua Junpeng was not filled with much righteous indignation: "This is just a temporary measure, and it is better to cool down the violence." After a month of dealing with this, the people spontaneously started a simple barter transaction, after all, where there is demand, there is a market. The government is also trying to come up with something to do a new monetary system. Alas, it's hard. Food is valuable, but it is not convenient to carry and value, and other things have low practical value, cannot be recognized, and are prone to another outbreak of robbery. ”

Qing Dai suddenly said: "Mutant animals belong to things that are difficult to capture and can be officially marked. ”

Hua Junpeng cast an appreciative gaze: "That's right, when the mutant beast appeared, it greatly alleviated the monotony of the recipe, and their various organs were studied and studied, and the researchers found that the bones of the mutant beast had some special energy." However, there is no use for these energies, but the government feels that this is one of the best anti-counterfeiting methods, as long as the person who hunts the mutant animal and 'sells' the bones to the government, the government can use it to make a new currency, and slowly spread it. ”

Zhang Hongjun hooked the corners of his mouth: "Using this as currency, you can also encourage people to catch mutant animals and reduce the threat, there are capable people on it." ”

Hua Junpeng slapped his thigh: "Isn't it?" It's just that this thing is a little more troublesome, and the original wallet has been changed to a coin purse. ”

Then, he raised his hand to the place where there were more people in front of him and said: "There is the second largest canteen in the south, which was renovated from a large shopping mall, because it is close to the gate, so there are more flavors, and business is also booming." ”

Qing Dai looked up and saw that the original modern design appearance was now obscured by a huge banner, with the words "Jingnan Canteen" on it, and the chimney on the roof emitted a white mist, melting a thick layer of snow. In the cold air, there was a faint smell of food, which hooked up everyone's already active gluttonous insects.

Hearing Du Qinyue's stomach growling, Qing Dai smiled: "No matter what the taste, eat it first." ”

Hua Junpeng was also brought out of a good mood by the longing for food, and shouted in a Beijing accent: "Okay, everyone here, please." ”

Entering the canteen renovated by this shopping mall, although it is not a meal, the crowd in it is far better than the mall where Qingdai once went to the discount. However, in order to save power, the lighting is much dimmer than that of a normal mall. Of course, hungry people with green eyes don't have time to care about this, and they all go straight to the counter to get food. Under the recommendation of Hua Junpeng, Qingdai and several people directly chose a few standard packages, and then immediately got the lunch box. Find a place to sit and eat.

Hua Junpeng held a lunch box twice as small as Qing Dai and the others, and said a little ostentatiously: "You are all for the supernatural, hey, that is, me, I know that the food of the supernatural is larger than that of ordinary people, which saves a lot." ”

Du Qinyue didn't have time to reply, so she only gave a thumbs up with her left hand.

Qingdai also ate in an orderly manner, sighed in his heart, and left the S city where he worked. Go round and round. When I came to Kyoto, I still ate take-out meals in the cafeteria, and I didn't know what my life was.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and beverage talents in Kyoto. The cafeteria meal is not delicious enough. Most people don't find it unpalatable.

Stay until you get out of the cafeteria. Du Qinyue waved his hand: "The air here is not good, let's pack it next time." ”

Qing Dai smiled: "You can only be picky when you are full, and your skills are better than those in the canteen." Let's dislike it again. ”

Hua Junpeng smiled, not daring to say that he thought this cafeteria was already delicious, coughed a little, and asked, "I don't know where you registered to live?" I know most of it, leading the way quickly. ”

Xu Sheng finally spoke: "I know the location, you come first, there will be many things to trouble you in the future." ”

Hua Junpeng's heart jumped, but Liu Zhiwei's figure flashed through his mind, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." ”

The roads are covered with snow, normal cars are extremely inconvenient, and only a few modified bicycles and tricycles are mixed in with the crowd. Occasionally, a special sled runs by, apparently the car of a special person. However, the well-fed people walked calmly, and did not have any ideas, and when they were full, there was no need to worry, and they had the right to understand the situation in Kyoto and eat and go shopping.

After walking for more than an hour, there were fewer and fewer people on the side of the road, and the house was getting more and more neat, Qing Dai didn't feel anything, but she inadvertently found that Hua Junpeng's face had changed a little, and the estimation and faint excitement in her eyes had always surrounded several of them.

It wasn't until a person in a guard uniform patrolled by on the road that Qingdai somewhat understood, this is a special area?

Without waiting for her to ask, Xu Sheng, who was leading the way in front, stopped: "It's here." ”

Qing Dai observed it and thought it was a very ordinary three-story house, oh no, it should be four floors, and one floor was buried in the snow. Looking around, it seems that they are all about the same, it should be an old-fashioned residential area, and the houses are neatly arranged and evenly spaced, unlike the arrangement of modern modern houses.

Xu Sheng suddenly turned around, took Qing Dai's hand, and said, "The door is in front, go and have a look." ”

Qing Dai was a little embarrassed by this natural attitude, and just followed around to the other side of the house. Originally, I thought that the first floor was also flooded, and I wanted to enter the house from the balcony on the second floor, but I didn't know that the snow on the front was cleared, and with the main entrance as the center, the white curved snow ladder unfolded down layer by layer, until it reached the door of the house, reflecting the sunlight, like a pure dream.

Xu Sheng continued to pull Qingdai down the snow ladder, came to the door, which was as simple as the house, took out a key from his clothes, and opened the thick door.

Qing Dai saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened - the inside and outside of the house are completely different, as if they are two worlds, the interior decoration is extremely elegant, the American simplicity and neatness and the Chinese elegance are perfectly combined, the elegant entrance, the transparent hall, the exquisite staircase, and the activity space behind the interesting decoration, can make people marvel at the beauty and applaud the wisdom.

"Wow, Xu Sheng, you're really not bad, this house is all yours? Looks like I'm coming here to hug my thighs. Du Qinyue's exclamation broke the silence of this moment.

Xu Sheng didn't pay attention to the light bulb that ruined the atmosphere, and only smiled at Qing Dai: "Come in and see, look, just choose a room you like, I recommend the largest master bedroom." ”

Du Qinyue's eyes slanted, she did not recklessly overtake the master, and waited until Xu Sheng pulled Qingdai to the hall, then followed, went around to the other side of Qingdai and said: "Qingdai, don't be deceived, no matter whether the master bedroom is the best or not, what you need most is the room key, you can't be taken advantage of!" ”

Xu Sheng still ignored this noisy voice, and only said to Qing Dai: "The master bedroom is large in area, the most well-equipped, and the bed is special, which can be divided into two, so that you can take care of Aunt Hou at any time." ”

Qing Dai finally raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, and the hand that was originally just being pulled was also shaken back: "Thank you." ”

Xu Sheng smiled slightly, and did not chase after him, seeing that several people behind him had entered the house and closed the door, and said, "Let's take a rest in the hall." There are rooms on the upper three floors, I will pick it myself, this is the property I prepared before, there has been a special registration, it is very suitable to be a base camp at present, I will not charge rent, only require health shifts, food and drink at your own expense. ”

Zhang Hongjun whistled and glanced at Lian Qingyun to hide his shock. As if he just went to a friend's house before the weather changed: "You kid is hidden." Okay, we'll live here. ”

Du Qinyue said with a smile: "I live next to the Qingdai room, this house looks bigger than my family's original old mansion, and the designer is very good." Let's go back and tell you about it. ”

Xu Sheng opened the cabinet in the hall. Took out some water: "That guy doesn't know if he's alive." If you're angry, I'll introduce you. ”

Du Qinyue snorted: "No sincerity!" ”

Zhang Hongjun sat on the sofa and felt the comfort he had not felt for a long time. After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's go home first, and when we finish dealing with it, we will rush over, bring Aunt Hou back in the evening, and find the hospital tomorrow." ”

There was no objection from everyone.

As night falls, people who have had a busy day leave work, eat, and go home.

The Academy of Sciences also gradually extinguished its lights, and in the darkness it was like a giant beast, grinding its hideous minions with the howling cold wind.

In a remote corner, five figures formed a circle, blocking the faint firelight.

"Satsuki, are you really okay?" Qing Dai looked at Du Qinyue and expressed concern about her gloomy face.

Du Qinyue accurately operated the fire blade in his hand to melt the ice and snow they had covered up in the morning, and said lightly: "It's okay, my parents are happy to death, and they have prepared a lot of delicious food for me, I feel like I can support it now." ”

Qing Dai sighed silently, not knowing where to start, and now was not a good time to talk, so she could only nod.

After about half an hour, the frost at the entrance of the cave was finally melted, and Qing Dai released the corpse vine, tied the nutrition compartment in the cave with the corpse vine, and then the five of them worked together and easily pulled it out.

A few people blocked the hole in the ground again, and made some simple camouflage with the snow that had just been removed, and the rest waited for the wind and snow at night to bury it.

Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun took the lead in lifting the nutrition bin and quickly ran towards the road they came.

Qing Dai hurriedly followed, although the body of the ability was very good, but the nutrition warehouse was heavy after all, but it was a pity that the two big men refused Qing Dai's help. Halfway through, she suddenly glanced back.

Du Qinyue was trying to pull Qing Dai away from Xu Sheng, and when she saw Qing Dai's reaction, she tightened her whole body and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" ”

Qingdai shook her head: "I seem to have heard someone calling for help just now, but I only sensed some staff carrying things, which is weird." ”

Du Qinyue didn't have time to speak, so she heard Xu Sheng say: "We have to hurry, there will be patrols here in ten minutes." ”

Du Qinyue exclaimed: "You said it earlier, everyone hurry up!" She basically wouldn't doubt Xu Sheng's words now, although this man was bottomless, but what he said was never false.

Qingdai was full of her mother's situation, and she also put down the doubts and uneasiness just now, and carried the nutrition warehouse together with Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun, the helpers from the side, to speed up the progress.

It was only then that Qing Dai knew what the document Xu Sheng took out before setting off was for, that is, the patrol schedule in Kyoto. However, everyone was already shocked and used to it, just waiting for Xu Sheng to confess himself. Along the way, because of Xu Sheng's repeated reminders, everyone avoided all patrols and returned to the base camp smoothly, this time they really entered the house directly from the second floor.

After placing Hou Siping, everyone is tired. Life and death have been together for months, and there is no need to be polite, they each went back to their rooms and lay down.

Qing Dai placed the nutrition warehouse next to her bed, and after seeing her mother's still peaceful face, her heart was much calmer, and she soon sank into a sweet dream.

Nothing was said all night.

The early morning sky was bright and was blocked by thick curtains, but there was still a knock on the door that disturbed the dream.

Qing Dai heard a rumbling sound and woke up from her deep sleep. She remembered Du Qinyue's introduction to this residence last night, and the most annoying thing for the magnates was noise, and such a loud voice was extremely abnormal. After a moment of silence, he still came downstairs uneasily, only to see a strange man talking to Xu Sheng, his face was very solemn.

"What's the trouble?" Qing Dai asked in a low voice.

Xu Sheng turned around and saw Qing Dai, did not change the topic, and said in a deep voice: "Someone is missing, we seem to be implicated." (To be continued......)
