Chapter 135: Preparing for action
Qin Jian noticed the smile on her face, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and after taking the water, he asked, "What did you put in the water?" β
ββ"Rats." Xu Xin didn't hide it, told the truth, and said lightly: "Aren't you afraid of drugs?" I just wanted to see if what you said was true. β
ββ"I'm ......" Qin Jian raised the cup and was about to smash it at her.
ββXu Xin hurriedly held his head in both hands to make a defense, and said with a smile: "Isn't your body still able to absorb poison and convert it into energy?" It stands to reason that I helped you! β
ββIn principle, yes, but...... Who would store toxins in this way?
ββQin Jian didn't smash the cup at him, but poured the water inside to the side and put it on Xu Xin's head.
ββXu Xin took the cup, stuck out her tongue at him, turned around and ran away.
ββGu Xue covered her mouth and smiled beside her.
ββ"Wife, why are you still gloating, your best friend is going to poison me......" Qin Jian said half-jokingly.
ββGu Xue tilted her head and imitated Xu Xin's tone word for word: "Aren't you afraid of poison?" β
ββ"Yes...... But I'm not going to poison myself. Qin Jian felt inexplicable, not to mention whether the rat medicine could poison people, if he really wanted to store the toxin, did he have to drink the water with the rat medicine every day? It's better to go out and be bitten by zombies......
ββBelch...... No, he's not steely, and although he won't get infected with a bite, he may bleed all over the ground......
ββ"That's the end of the conversation." Gu Xue said a word, approached Qin Jian, and looked at him with a beautiful side face.
ββQin Jian was a little embarrassed by her staring, and said, "Don't you have to go home today?" It's getting dark. β
ββ"It's okay, it's better to go back later, when my mom is asleep, or my mom will definitely stop me from going out." Gu Xue was like a rebellious little princess when she said this.
ββ"Okay, I'll drive you then." Qin Jian spread his hands and said, thinking of the urgent shortage of a construction technician on the farm, and said, "I'll recruit people tomorrow." β
ββ"There's no need to rush this matter, and you must choose carefully, after all, there are a lot of people who are indiscriminate in this year, but I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to do it." Gu Xue said with a smile.
ββQin Jian nodded and continued, "Wife, I still have something to tell you. β
ββ"Say it."
ββ"Well, in two days, I have to go to the forest." Qin Jian's voice was much lower, after all, this was a very dangerous operation, and his wife would definitely be worried, but he had to do it.
ββSure enough, Gu Xue frowned and asked cautiously, "You mean, the forest outside our farm?" β
ββ"Hmm."
ββ"What are you doing there?" Gu Xue frowned, obviously very worried.
ββQin Jian directly told Gu Xue what Shen Chaowei told him.
ββGu Xue looked confused when she heard this.
ββ"No, you're saying there are millions of zombies coming to us," hers ......
ββThe voice trembled, but he was afraid that the people around him would hear it, so he almost said in Qin Jian's ear.
ββ"Don't worry about my wife, it's just a possibility, but just in case, I have to go to the forest to investigate."
ββ"And how exactly do you investigate?" Gu Xue couldn't help but want to ask for details.
ββQin Jian thought of what Shen Chaowei had said to him before, and said, "If it is a corpse tide, it is easy to find out, after all, the number of them reaches several million, and the migration speed is slow, if it ...... Really...... I'll be back to you as soon as possible, and then ...... We packed up our things and fled, abandoning the farm......."
ββQin Jian was also hesitant in the end, after all, saying such a thing would definitely cause everyone to panic, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if, even Shen Chaowei is not sure that this is a corpse tide invasion, of course they have to be extremely prepared.
ββGu Xue was really worried when she heard his words, but her main concern was not the farm, but him......
ββIt's an endless forest full of zombies, Qin Jian has three longs and two shorts, can she still live?
ββBut if you don't let him go, what if it makes a big mistake?
ββ"Who are you going to take with you?" Gu Xue asked.
ββ"Looking at it now, it's only Ma Baojin and them." Qin Jian said faintly, this is an indisputable fact, only Ma Baojin and their group of mercenaries often deal with zombies, and their equipment and technology are also first-class, as for the militia captain and those farmers, not to mention their level, after bringing them, how can the farm operate?
ββBesides, the number of people investigating this kind of thing should be small and precise, and more will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, after all, it is a large forest, hiding all kinds of unknown dangers, not to mention that there are those terrifying "runners" in the forest recently......
ββ"Aren't you going to have some gear, then?" Gu Xue asked again.
ββQin Jian scratched his head and said with a smile: "Wife, you don't have to worry about us, Ma Baojin is the captain anyway, he will have his own opinions, and their equipment is not bad." β
ββ"However, I overheard him say in the morning that he has no money to buy equipment...... "Gu Xue said embarrassedly.
ββQin Jian was stunned, hesitated for a while, and said, "I'll tell them about this directly, wife, you wait for me first." β
ββ"Hmm."
ββWhen Qin Jian found Ma Baojin, he was eating meat and drinking wine with his teammates at the gate.
ββ"Boss, it's the first time I've eaten this! It's so delicious! After Ma Baojin saw Qin Jian, he immediately ran over and shook the things in his hand as if showing off.
ββ"What is this?" Qin Jian had never seen anything in his hand at all, and looked at Ma Baojin, whose mouth was full of oil, and asked.
ββ"This is called roast pig's trotters, it was brought by the captain Wan, and he specially brought two pigs and five boxes of wine in order to participate in the bonfire party today!"
ββ"I see." Qin Jian was very shocked when he heard this, pork is a rare food, but he didn't expect Captain Wan to bring two pigs over casually......
ββIt's a pity to say that those two pigs have been roasted a long time ago, and I didn't see all the "pigs" in appearance......
ββ"Don't talk about the trotters yet, I have something important to tell you." Qin Jian came back to his senses and said seriously.
ββMa Baojin and the others were stunned for a moment, put down the roast pork in their hands, and hurriedly listened.
ββQin Jian told them directly about the investigation of the forest.
ββ"This ......" Ma Baojin frowned and hesitated, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but now he was instructed by the commander to protect the safety of the farm, if he followed the boss to the forest to investigate, he would at least have to talk to the commander.
ββ"No problem, boss, but I want to talk to the commander about this matter first, after all, if I am not on the farm, even if he finds out, even if I leave my post without permission......" Ma Baojin said everything he thought in his heart, and he didn't hide it at all.
ββQin Jian frowned, and said inappropriately: "If I tell the commander, he will definitely be distracted, after all, he has been preparing for the operation in the no-man's land recently, and he is seizing the time to train soldiers, with his relationship with me, if he tells him, he may get involved in this matter......"
ββ"Huh? To advance the action, is it about to start again? Ma Baojin's face was full of shock when he heard this, it is a big deal to advance the operation, the military only prepares once in a few years, and the purpose is to regain the land that mankind once had, and it has a far-reaching impact on the five major divisions, so it is indeed like what the boss said, you can't disturb the commander.
ββTherefore, he can only obey the words of the boss, as for secretly violating the rules of the commander, he is so busy, he can't just go to the farm to spot check......
ββ"Then I won't tell the commander!" Ma Baojin said immediately.
ββQin Jian nodded: "Thank you for your understanding." β
ββ"What is this incomprehensible boss ......"
ββ"I heard you don't have the money to buy equipment?" Qin Jian was caught off guard by the question, and before Ma Baojin could finish speaking, his face turned red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled: "Boss, how do you know......"
ββTo tell the truth, this is all due to his impulsiveness at the time, a part of the deposit given to him by the commander before, and the tip given to him by the boss, he took all of them to invite the brothers to drink flower wine that day, and he had too much fun......
ββOriginally, this money was to improve everyone's equipment, but this is good, everyone was so drunk at the time that they forgot to remind each other about it, and finally fell into a shy end, blaming no one for it, they are to blame.
ββ"It's okay, it's not a big deal, I'll take you to buy equipment these days," Qin Jian patted Ma Baojin on the shoulder and threw him an encouraging look: "You are also my main team, how can I treat you badly?" β
ββ"Boss......" Ma Baojin's face was full of emotion, and he nodded violently: "I know!" Boss, we're going to do a good job! β
ββ"Hmm...... Don't be idle for the past two days, take everyone to do some physical training, or familiarize yourself with the terrain of the nearby forest, but don't go deeper. β
ββ"Understood!" The crowd responded in unison.
