Chapter 159: Clearing Through the Last Days (14)

"But the situation now is very similar to the beginning of an eschatological essay I've read." Tong Muling said, "The article said that an asteroid exploded near the earth, and the meteor shower brought a cosmic virus, which infected the bodies of earthlings and began to evolve. Those who have successfully evolved have become supernatural beings, and those who have failed to evolve have become zombies, and some people have also evolved successfully, but due to physical fitness, they cannot awaken their abilities, and they are still ordinary people. ”

"As you say, this catastrophe can be contained as long as the source of the virus is eliminated?" Ruoxi asked.

Tong Muling pinched his chin with the index finger and thumb of his right hand: "Theoretically yes, but you have to know that Lu Dao is now the Qing Dynasty, and there is no science and technology in the 21st century." Without isolation suits and protective clothing, who can guarantee that approaching the meteorite will not be affected, and if you don't get the meteorite, you will die or become a high-level zombie? And it's hard to find a container for meteorites! ”

Ruoxi frowned: "But if the meteorite with the virus is exposed to the air, won't more people be infected?" ”

Tong Muling spread his hands: "That can't be helped, unless someone voluntarily sacrifices to find meteorites, and then seal them in a closed container, it should reduce the volatilization of the virus." ”

Ruoxi asked again: "I watched the American blockbuster "Resident Evil", and the zombies in it can evolve. Do the zombies here also have such abilities? ”

"Yes, not only can the supernatural evolve, but the zombies can also evolve, and the most worrying thing is that the wisdom of the zombies will also improve after evolution, and the king inside will take a group of younger brothers to attack the gathering place of humans."

Ruoxi was taken aback: "Did you tell the emperor about such an important matter?" ”

Tong Muling said: "I have already said that the emperor has handed over the matter of strengthening the city to the prince. ”

Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tong Muling. Didn't Tong Muling come to her to choke? How the two of them talked about the situation outside. Still so harmonious?

Ruoxi opened her eyes. Although Tong Muling is also from the 21st century. But she and herself are not from the same world, the fellow is not counted, she doesn't like herself, and she doesn't like her.

Tong Muling snorted and turned around, striding away - zombies were rampant, and the women no longer dared to wear the bottom of the flower pot that affected their movements, and they all wore soft-soled step shoes to facilitate their movements.

Ruoxi also snorted lightly. U-turn and leave in the other direction.

Until the figures of the two women disappeared, Four-Four and Thirteen walked out from behind the rockery. Sisi frowned, hesitating in his heart. Thirteen knew his fourth brother best, and knew what he was thinking at this time, and immediately said: "Fourth brother, you can't go, if you want to go, I will go." ”

"No way!" Sisi said categorically, "You can't go." ”

"That fourth brother can't go, it's too dangerous!"

"Ruoxi and Tong Muling said that I am the next Son of Heaven, and I have a dragon qi to protect my body. The so-called virus can't come near me. "Forty-four-one instantly domineering side exposed.

Thirteen said anxiously: "Then you can't go." The son of a daughter can't sit down, not to mention that the fourth brother is destined to be the next emperor. Never get involved. ”

"But I can't let the virus evaporate and let our people become monsters." Worry about the country and the people!

"Then let's tell Huang Ama about this matter, and let Huang Ama decide who is responsible for this matter." Thirteen recommendations.

Sisi was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay!" ”

When Four-Four and Thirteen left, Yao Huang came out of the room, took a big broom, and carefully cleaned the fallen leaves in the yard. This palace should have been inhabited by a certain concubine of Kangxi before, and the furnishings and decorations inside were very rich and exquisite, but when the end broke out, no one in this palace should have escaped, and the room and courtyard were splashed with red and black bloodstains everywhere. The body had been taken away by the guards and cremated, but the blood still remained, which made Yao Huang feel that it was an eyesore. Yao Huang cleaned up all the bloodstains with a cleaning technique, and then slowly cleaned up the toppled furniture and smashed porcelain. Anyway, she has nothing to do in the palace except for cultivation, and the rest of the time she finds something to do for herself.

Sweeping the fallen leaves is a tiring job, and the leaves on the trees are blown down by the wind from time to time, and they can't be swept clean. Ordinary people may have been tired and have a sore back, but Yao Huang still waved a broom to pass the time.

"Who are you? Why is it in Yongshou Palace? The voice sounded suddenly, and Yao Huang turned his head to look at the young man who walked into the courtyard, with handsome facial features and a yellow belt, and his identity was self-evident.

"Wei Zi has seen the Twelve Elder Brothers." Yao Huang gave the twelfth elder brother a blessing, claiming to be a slave or something, so she didn't do it.

"Wei Zi? Are you the palace maid of Yongshou Palace? Why didn't you have an accident? The Twelfth Elder Brother asked.

"Wei Zi is the sprinkling maid of Yongshou Palace, when something happened that day, she was sent by her mother to pick flowers in the imperial garden, and escaped by hiding in the rockery. Later, when he returned to Yongshou Palace, he found that Niangniang and Mama were gone, Wei Zi didn't know what to do, so he stayed in Yongshou Palace and continued to do sprinkling and sweeping. "Yao Huang makes up lies and never makes drafts.

The twelfth elder brother glanced at the courtyard that had already swept more than half of it, nodded, and walked into the Yongshou Palace. Yongshou Palace is the residence of the twelve elder brothers, on the day of the draft, the concubine did not go to see the draft, and when the end came, the concubine was the first to have an accident. The twelfth elder brother looked around his mother's dormitory and found that all the furniture had been returned to its place, and the inside of the dormitory was tidy and tidy. The twelfth elder brother was satisfied, and greeted Yao Huang, "Help me put the food in the box on the table, I want to pay tribute to Eniang!" ”

Yao Huang took the food box and took out the contents of it: two steamed buns and a plate of salted meat. Very simple food, but the twelfth elder brother saved from his own rations. Among Kangxi's many elder brothers, only the twelve elder brothers do not have the ability to awaken, and they can't kill zombies with people like other brothers, so his treatment is the lowest, and the food can only be eaten just enough, and if you want to eat well, it is impossible.

There were tears in the eyes of the twelfth elder brother, overnight, his mother died, his wife and concubine died, his father was not close, and the other brothers were capable and excellent, and they awakened the ability to surpass mortals, only him, who had no ability, and became a "waste man" in the eyes of his father and brothers. He was sad, he was stressed, he couldn't find anyone to talk to, he could only pour out his stress in front of his own mother's spirit.

A clean handkerchief was handed to the twelfth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother raised his hazy teary eyes, and the girl's gentle smile came into his eyes.

"Twelfth elder brother, Niangniang definitely doesn't want you to be sad, he wants you to live well."

"How can I look good now?" The twelfth elder brother took the handkerchief and wiped away his tears, what image did he care about at this time? If it was before, if it was before, he wouldn't have talked to a sprinkled girl at all, and even cried in front of her.

"Elder Brother Twelve, I heard Miss Tong say that most people have the possibility of awakening abilities, but the awakening time is early and late, and if you don't have an awakening ability now, it doesn't mean that you will never awaken the ability. You should relax, maybe one day your ability will suddenly awaken! Yao Huang persuaded. For the twelfth elder brother, Yao Huang doesn't know much, who told him that he is not famous in history, and he can only play soy sauce in TV novels. However, the twelfth elder brother who was crying all over the place looked much more pleasing to the eye than the other tall elder brothers.

After listening to Yao Huang's persuasion, the twelfth elder brother was in a much better mood: "You haven't eaten much these days, these two steamed buns and meat will be rewarded to you." ”

Although a lot of food was collected, in order to prevent it from happening—mainly for fear that the virus would affect the soil and no longer be able to grow crops—the supply of food in both the palace and the inner city was limited, and the little eunuchs and maids could only eat one steamed bun and two bowls of gruel every day.

"Xie Lu, Xie Twelve Elder Brother." Yao Huang made a grateful expression, really looking down on that little thing.

The twelfth elder brother waved his hand, walked out of the dormitory, and sat down on the stone steps at the entrance of the hall.

"You sit down and talk to me."

Yao Huang sat beside the Twelfth Elder Brother.

"My mother is a talented woman, the best at drawing, and she is very popular with my grandfather. After entering the palace, my mother did not fight or rob, and she seemed to be a transparent person in the palace. She hurt her body when she gave birth to me, and it's hard to have children. But Huang Ama did not pity her, but gave me to Aunt Su Mala to raise. Because of her sadness, E-Niang lay in bed for half a year......"

The twelfth elder brother babbled about his past with Ding Concubine, Yao Huang listened patiently, and from time to time said "En, ah", indicating that he was listening. In fact, if there is no natural disaster, the twelfth elder brother and the concubine are the best among Kangxi's wives and sons, both of them are long-lived, the mother lived to be ninety-seven years old, and the son lived to be seventy-nine years old, enjoying decades of blessings, what is there to complain about?

As soon as the sun set and the moon climbed to the top of the tree, the twelve elder brothers finally said enough.

"Xie Lu thank you for listening to my nagging today, it's not early, you go and rest!" The Twelfth Elder Brother stood up, "I'll rest in Eniang's dormitory tonight." ”

After practicing all night, the next morning, Yao Huang didn't see the Twelfth Elder Brother, and he left early in the morning. Yao Huang Yujian flew out of the city, began to kill zombies to collect crystal nuclei, and returned to Yongshou Palace at noon to find that there was one more person inside.

"Where have you been? Coming back so late? The Twelfth Elder Brother asked.

"Brother Twelve, why are you here?" Yao Huang asked in surprise.

"What? Can't you come? ”

Yao Huang hurriedly shook his head.

"I brought you a steamed bun, you can eat it!" The twelfth elder brother said, handing Yao Huang a white and fat steamed bun.

Yao Huang was a little moved, was the twelfth elder brother worried that she wouldn't be able to eat enough, so he brought her food? It's hard for him to take care of a little palace maid who has only known him for one day like this, which is really kind.

"Master is gone, come back tomorrow."

"Twelfth elder brother go slowly!"

Yao Huang pinched the soft steamed buns, and had a good impression of the twelve elder brothers in his heart. (To be continued......)
