"Old Hoss is occasionally eccentric, but rarely has such a phenomenon......." said Hoss as he returned to the room, looking out the window.

"After all, his youngest animal died in his arms, and for him, those little animals are like pets...... Qin Jian said with deep feeling.

"Let's stop talking about that, let's talk about business." Hoss immediately reminded.

Qin Jian quickly took out a small notebook and pen from the basket, and Huo Si couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said, "How can it be like an interview?" ”

"I'm afraid my head won't be able to remember, so it's safer to write it down." Qin Jian scratched his head and laughed.

"Will you go back and give this report to your boss?" Hoss asked curiously.

Qin Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Sort of." ”

After that, Huo Si immediately told him about the recently discovered anomalies, the first few anomalies sounded inconsequential, they were all related to mountains and rivers, and he couldn't hear any clues, but Qin Jian recorded them all just in case.

The ensuing theme revolves around the "migration of a large number of bees", about which it has been almost two weeks ago, and now there are bee nests in trees, stone crevices, and almost everywhere, although as long as you don't provoke these little guys, you won't get into trouble, but in principle, it is not normal for bees to flood the forest, after all, too many beneficial insects are not a good thing.

To tell the truth, Qin Jian hadn't seen a beehive until now, maybe those things couldn't attract his attention at all, after all, there were too many things in the Doom Forest that attracted more wind than them.

The last anomaly is that a large number of "red-eyed" zombies have recently appeared in the forest.

"Wait, you're not talking about the Runner, are you?" Qin Jian immediately interrupted him when he heard this, and asked with a frown.

"Runman...... What is it? Huo Si obviously didn't understand, but he also hurriedly pandered: "Well, what the two of us are talking about should be one thing, after all, in addition to ordinary zombies, this forest is those red-eyed zombies......"

"Hmm!" Qin Jian nodded in confirmation, and then asked, "How many have appeared?" ”

"They were in large groups, and I didn't dare to get closer, but at first glance, there must be hundreds."

"Huh?" Qin Jian was dumbfounded after hearing this. Consisting of hundreds of runners? This scale is inevitably terrifying, right? You must know that the strength of a runner is many times stronger than that of ordinary zombies, and if there is no large amount of heavy firepower to defend, this "special" corpse tide may be unstoppable and flatten everything......

"When did you find out? In which direction did they go? Qin Jian hurriedly asked.

Hoss scratched his head and quickly replied, "Three days ago!" The specific direction should be to the south. ”

"South...... South of the Forest of Doom? Qin Jian's eyes widened and asked carefully.

Hoss nodded violently: "Yes! ”

Qin Jian suddenly became a little flustered, because it stands to reason that the southernmost direction of Doom Forest is Farm No. 7, if the Runner corpse tide keeps heading south, wouldn't it collide with their farm?

The farm is now guarded by only the militia captain, and although they have decent guns in their hands, they can't hold it even if they face hundreds of runners!

At that scale, I'm afraid that only the army of a thousand commanders can parry it......

Seeing that Qin Jian's face turned pale for a moment, Huo Si asked with some fear, "Are you okay?" ”

"Thing...... It's kind of bad. Qin Jian said honestly: "The farm I work on is at the southernmost end of the forest. ”

"So......" Hoss was surprised, "your farm could be attacked by them!" ”

Qin Jian nodded, shook his head and supported his forehead, he really hoped that those runners would have bad eyes and let Farm No. 7 go......

"Or, go back today! Go back and see, just in case! Hoss stood up and hurriedly said, "Anyway, our cooperation is complete, and we don't need your help anymore." ”

"But...... I promised you a life tomorrow. Qin Jian said embarrassedly.

Huo Si was stunned, and quickly shook his head and said, "My life is not important, your farm is important!" Go back today! ”

Huo Si persuaded for a long time, Qin Jian hesitated for a long time, the two sides grinded softly, and after a while, Qin Jian slowly got up and said categorically: "Don't say it, we will have a good life tomorrow!" ”

As the saying goes, it is difficult to chase a horse after a word, even if the situation is urgent, Qin Jian does not want to ruin this agreement, not to mention that Huo Si's life is so similar to him, so he has a sense of intimacy like finding a bosom friend, maybe if he leaves this time, next time they will be indefinite, so ...... He decided that he had to give Hoss this life because he wanted Hoss to know what the real life was like, so that he would not have any regrets......

Qin Jian...... You're ...... for me There's really no need to do that. Huo Si's face was full of emotion, and he spoke in a slurred, he never expected that Qin Jian would pay so much attention to his life, and even give him this life at all costs......

They are just a cooperative relationship, and they can't even talk about friends, but to be honest, everyone, including Qin Jian, gives him a warm and harmonious feeling, although they also have their own hardships, but they are so free and easy at the wine table, and even he, a person who is free and easy all day long, has an inexplicable sense of guilt compared to them.

Perhaps, he has been "infected" by this group of guys, and I don't know when he has regarded them as friends who share weal and pain, as if he doesn't want to leave for a moment.

For more than 20 years, only Big Hoth and Old Hoth accompanied him, and the two cold horses in the stable, if he could make this group of friends, it would be a blessing for him in three lives......

Hoss sniffled, not letting the tears fall, and suddenly proposed, "Or...... We've given birth in advance, right? ”

"Uh......" Hoss's words made Qin Jian pause.

"How about tonight? I didn't have time to hunt, but I ...... We should have enough food in stock to prepare dinner! Hoss continued with a smile.

Qin Jian scratched his head, adopted this opinion, and said embarrassedly: "It's not impossible." ”

In principle, Qin Jian still broke the contract, but at the same time that he set up a place for the sake of Hos, Hos was also thinking about himself, and it can be said that the two of them have fully understood each other.

"If there's not enough food, I'll have it!" Qin Jian regained his smile: "I have a lot of this!" ”

"That's good! I'm going to prepare dinner now! Hoss replied with a smile, and the two of them continued as if nothing had happened just now.

Qin Jian found Ma Baojin and the others and told them the news that they were going to return tomorrow, but everyone had no objections, after all, Qin Jian was their boss, and they would do whatever the boss asked them to do.

"By the way, today is Hoss's birth!" Qin Jian said to them by the way.

"Oh? Such a coincidence? Ma Baojin laughed jokingly.

"Well, tonight, in order to entertain us well, Hoss has taken out all the delicious food at home, don't you want to give him some birthday gifts as a gesture?" Qin Jian asked half-jokingly.

Ma Baojin and others took it seriously, meditated for a long time, and most of them took out the so-called raw gifts, which are expensive and varied, but if you look closely, most of them are things that can be used for dry racks, such as finger tigers and hands. Guns, sabers, baseball bats......

The birth gift given by the mercenary is really unique......

"Don't give it away now, I'll give it to him at the dinner table later." Qin Jian reminded him, and everyone nodded, and they all put away their gifts first.

"Boss? What about you? Ma Baojin asked with a cautious smile.

"I won't tell you yet." Qin Jian smiled mysteriously and said with Guan Zi in mind
