Chapter 35: Ability Squad
On the day the water was cut off, the shelter came up with a system of water exchange and work points, which forced people to go out to find food or water. Now the shelter is no longer free, and if you want to continue living, you have to pay for supplies, either leave, or work.
The people who live here suddenly became nervous, and they could no longer escape the heat in their rooms with peace of mind as before.
Because the food and water they brought were sufficient, they could barely maintain their daily food by handing over supplies for the time being, and they were not in a hurry to go out to find food and water.
In the afternoon of the same day, the staff of the shelter carried out a new registration of the population, and the staff saw that the three of them had turned around and were about to leave.
Du Jing asked curiously, "Is something wrong?" How to get checked today? ”
One of the staff members replied: "There are a large number of deaths today, and the rooms with deaths need to be screened and killed to ensure that the existing personnel are not infected by the germs." ”
As soon as the staff left, Du Jing pulled Jing Tian and said, "Sister, let's also go and see what the situation is, and the staff will be dispatched to conduct a big investigation." ”
They went downstairs and sent the staff in and out, carrying out the bodies from different buildings, most of the dead were old people and children, and placed them on the pyre that had been built in the courtyard long ago, and soon the courtyard began to emit a foul smell.
The people around the pyre began to cry silently, looking at the scene in front of him, Du Jing's tears flowed down unconsciously, and he couldn't help but start crying.
Jing Tian stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Du Jing's face: "Du Jing, if the temperature is still rising, I'm afraid we will have this day." ”
Du Jing hugged Jing Tian hard: "Sister, I will work hard to cultivate and protect you!" ”
"Fool, sister is trying to protect you now." Jing Tian patted Du Jing's head.
All the staff gathered here and asked the family members to stand up, Pei Shengqing stood on the steps with a loudspeaker and said: "Now in a special period, we can only do a simple cremation, I hope you will forgive me!" Ready, ignite! ”
As Pei Shengqing's words fell, there were more than a dozen people over there, lighting the pyre from different directions.
When all this was completed and the family's mood stabilized a little, Pei Shengqing picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Now the shelter has set up a special ability team, if anyone awakens the ability, they can report to the office, and those who enter the ability team can be exempted from the room fee, and the shelter not only provides the ability to cultivate the person but also guarantees his family three meals a day." ”
When they heard this, they all began to talk about it.
"What is an ability?" A little boy about 15 years old raised his hand and asked.
"The ability is that it can emit water, fire, ice, thunder, etc., as well as mutations, that is, the strength of the body is very strong or the running speed is very fast, etc., I can't say everything, do you have any changes?" Pei Shengqing asked.
"Uncle, my parents just left today, and I'm left alone, can I join now?" The boy's voice grew quieter and quieter.
"You can work in the Vault, but you can't join the Ability Squad until you have the ability." Pei Shengqing said.
"But uncle, I won't do anything." The boy whispered.
"Do you want to learn?" Pei Shengqing asked.
"Yes!" The boy replied with a raised head.
"Leader, do you still need people?" A woman in her forties asked.
"Sister, do you want to sign up?" Pei Shengqing asked.
"It's not me, I have a daughter, I'm 18 years old this year, and I want to sign her up." The woman replied.
"Eldest sister, you'd better let her sign up by herself. You can report to the office, not far away. Pei Shengqing said.
The woman lowered her head and walked towards a nearby building.
"Sister, do you want to sign up?" Du Jing asked.
"No, my sister wants to be with you." Jing Tian said.
"If you have any questions, you can go to the office and ask, and in the future, our shelter will be open from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, and from 7 p.m. to 24 p.m., and whoever goes out to find food and water will be sure of the time. Don't delay coming back. After Bei Shengqing finished speaking, he led the soldiers away.
Du Jing and Jing Tian returned to the room and told Jing Qi what Bei Shengqing said today.
Jing Qi looked at Jing Tian and said, "Do you want to go to the Ability Squad?" Don't worry about me and Du Jing, the two of us can get by. ”
"Dad, I don't want to go, let's go out and find food and water together." Jing Tian said.
"Why?" Jing Qi asked.
"One, I don't lack exercises, and two, I don't know where to go, maybe it's not as good as we think. Three, I'm still more at ease with you. Jing Tian said.
"Now that you've decided, let's go find food and water early tomorrow morning." Jingqi said.
"Okay, let's go out and have a look!" Du Jing asked.
"Tomorrow I will go with your sister, and you will look after the house at home." Jingqi said.
"Why? My speed is also very fast. Du Jing said in defiance.
"Your sister has a special ability, my body is mutated, the two of us go out, relatively speaking, the safety factor is higher." Jingqi said.
"I'm just afraid that I'll hold back." Du Jing was dissatisfied.
"Okay, it's a big deal, no joke!" Jing Qi said loudly.
Du Jing pursed his lips, stood up and prepared to go back to the bedroom, Jing Tian took Du Jing's hand and said, "Dad was afraid that something would happen to you, so he didn't let you go." ”
Jing Tian took out a packet of compressed food from his bag and opened it, it was already rotten: "Du Jing, you see, these foods are no longer edible, if we don't go out to find food, we will all starve to death." ”
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a copy." Du Jing whispered.
"Uncle knows, but you don't have any abilities yet, so don't go for now, and wait until you mutate or have abilities before you go with us, and besides, the family really needs people. We still have so much water, what if we don't get taken away by anyone else? Jing Qi said softly.
"Okay, I'm at home looking after the house. You should also be safe on the road. Du Jing said seriously.
"We're not going to go now, what are we doing with such a heavy load, let's go find something to eat, something to eat, find some water, and not to fight with water, look at this smiling face." Jing Tian pinched Du Jing's face with her hand and said with a smile.
"You two sisters go to the bedroom to make trouble, and I still have to move my body." Jingqi said.
Du Jing glanced at Jing Qi guiltily, he originally wanted to find him this exercise, but he didn't come out, there was no source of the exercise, and he couldn't say that the best friend who couldn't beat the eight poles gave it, if she said that sooner or later she would show her stuffing, let alone space, it was even more impossible to change it out of plain water, there was no magic in this world. I'm so distressed, there are things that can't be used, just like the rich people in the past, who couldn't spend their money, watching the money starve themselves to death, so aggrieved.
Back in the room, Jing Tian sat on the bed and began to cultivate, and Du Jing came back to his senses and began to cultivate.
