The Grey Age Chapter 44 Vignette
"Eh, what are you doing here? It's time to eat? ”
As soon as Ruohan left, I had no reason to stay at the quarantine station, so I walked out of the tent and returned to the tent near me and Meiqi's tent. As soon as I came to the door of the tent, I saw Dabin and Fei Fei standing at the door of the tent, looking towards the food spot.
"Well, it's time for dinner, and we'll all have a share. Maggie, let's go, let's get dinner. By the way, there are two iron basins in the tent that you can take out, and the other one is for drinking porridge. ”
I said to Maggie inside the tent as I answered Dabin's question.
"Here we are."
Maggie agreed, and walked out of the tent, holding two small iron basins in her hands. Dabin and Fei Fei also returned to the tent and took out the standard iron basin. After that, the few of us went to eat together.
Although there are not many survivors in the epidemic prevention station, there are more than 1,000 people to eat, and it seems that there are only two windows.
"I'll go, when will this be scheduled?"
When Dabin saw such a spectacular queue in front of him, he couldn't help but feel cold.
"Alas, who told us not to prepare, next time it's fine, I'll ask what time the meal is here every day, and next time we have to prepare in advance."
I comforted Dabin, for fear that this tiger guy wouldn't be able to help but cut in line, which would be terrible.
Fifteen minutes later, it was finally our turn. The two fighters in charge of cooking directly stuffed me with two steamed buns and a bag of mustard, and then waved my hand to signal me to leave. I was dumbfounded.
Looking at the empty big iron pots in front of him, where is there porridge here? If it's clean, there's not even a grain of rice left, so what about everyone who says it's good?
"That, comrade, is there no porridge?"
I didn't get angry directly, and if there was other stock here, then I wouldn't have become an arrogant and unreasonable person.
"The porridge is gone, come early next time, and it's too late. Come, next. ”
The soldier didn't even look at me, and while cleaning up the empty pot in front of him, he shouted at Dabin Meiqi and the others behind me.
"What's that? I've been standing for a long time, and now you're telling me there's no porridge? If I run out of porridge, what am I doing with this broken pot? ”
Dabin was already holding back the fire in his belly, okay, the soldier in front of him was really a little too impulsive, it's okay if there is no porridge, it's okay to explain it well, why bother to be sarcastic?
"What do you say? Do you blame me for being late? Hurry back to eat, if you don't leave, I'll call someone over, and I'm still picky when I eat for nothing. ”
"Who the hell are you with..."
"Dabin, calm down! Don't be impulsive! ”
Dabin couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore, and he raised his fist and was about to slam it into the face of the fighter in front of him. I was holding a steamed bun in one hand and holding mustard in my arms, desperately trying to stop Dabin.
"Huh! What do you want? Captain! Captain! Someone is making trouble! ”
The soldier in charge of cooking is really not used to it, and he didn't give us a chance to call people over.
"Eh, comrade, don't look for someone to come, we don't want to make trouble..."
I wanted to get the fighters out of the fire, but it was too late. A few people quickly walked out of the combat headquarters next to him, led by the commander he had seen before, Zhao Shengtian.
"What's going on? Who's making trouble? ”
Zhao Shengtian asked as he walked. It was only a few steps before he stood in front of the soldier who was in charge of cooking.
"He's to blame me for being late."
"Why don't you talk well and eat?"
Dabin this guy is not afraid at all, I can obviously feel that this guy is really not afraid, even if several soldiers on the opposite side are holding all Type 95 rifles in their hands.
"Don't make any noise, talk about what's going on, don't waste time!"
Zhao Shengtian obviously didn't listen to the words of this rice fighter, and I was slightly relieved.
"They came late, the porridge had run out, I asked them to go back to eat and got angry with me, and then they started making trouble, and they wanted to do it!"
Although the tone of this rice fighter was a little more vinegary, what he said was true.
"No, no, no, how can it be so serious, we just asked, we didn't do it, we really didn't do it."
I forced a smile as I explained. Now it's still us who are in trouble, and it's still us who are unlucky.
"Mr. Qi? What's going on? What's wrong? ”
Just when I was worried about what to do, a woman in a white coat came out of the health station, Ruohan.
When she saw me explaining something to Zhao Shengtian, she walked over with some confusion.
"Ah, it's okay, it's just a small thing."
Now that the bullstaking situation is getting bigger and bigger, it is important to put this matter down as soon as possible.
"What's the problem? Now is a special period, the supplies are already very tight, if you come late, you are late, you don't care about the impact, what if other people in the epidemic prevention station learn from you? If you don't have enough things, do you reach out and ask for them? So how do we make it to the next batch of supplies to arrive at the epidemic prevention station? ”
The soldier in charge of cooking said to us with righteous words.
In fact, what he said is not unreasonable, if they are all like us, then the epidemic prevention station will not be messed up? But the way he spoke that made us really a little angry didn't see us as human beings before.
"That, Brother Zhao, forget it, it's not a big deal, how bad is it to be so noisy?"
Ruohan helped me and Dabin to comfort Zhao Shengtian in a timely manner.
"I don't think it's a big deal, Xiao Dai, you go and get busy with you first. Don't be angry, sir, just come early next time, and go to dinner. ”
Because of the quarrel just now, the survivors in the epidemic prevention station are all watching the excitement. Zhao Shengtian also wanted to end this matter, and in the end, no one was partial, but it was very fair.
"Okay, let's go back."
My heart is relieved, it's finally over, and this Dabin can really cause us trouble.
"Wait, you're Mr. Qimoqi, aren't you? I heard that you are an experimenter at Paula's Corporation, right? ”
A few of us just wanted to turn around and leave, but Zhao Shengtian suddenly called out my name.
I nodded, looking at him a little confused.
"I've heard about Dr. Chen, Ruohan told me that she can't be busy at the quarantine station alone, and she needs you to continue to sit at the quarantine station, and she is responsible for helping you. Do you think it's okay? ”
I turned my head to look at Ruohan, wanting to ask through my eyes. Ruohan nodded at me to make it clear.
"Okay, that's it, I'll report after dinner."
With that, the few of us stopped and turned back to our tents.
"Damn, Kuroko, I don't want to sit here anymore, what do you think this thing is? I can't eat enough, two broken steamed buns and a bag of mustard, eat a fart? ”
"Okay Dabin, let's make do with it, the epidemic prevention station is safer than outside."
The four of us sat around the tent, eating and chatting. Dabin always has anger in his heart, and all I can do is comfort him.
"Qi Mo, what did that Zhao Shengtian tell you to do just now?"
Mei Qi just heard Zhao Shengtian stop me and say something to me alone, and now she asked me with some curiosity.
"Ah, do you remember that Dr. Chen in the quarantine station before? He died, and there were not enough people at the quarantine station to get me on top. ”
"Huh? Passed away? What's going on? Can I still be attacked by an infected person in the epidemic prevention station? ”
Maggie was surprised, she didn't expect that the doctor would die just now.
"Toot toot toot toot...."
Before I could explain, I could hear a series of air explosions in the distance, as if a helicopter was spinning overhead.
A few of us walked out of the tent in unison, looking up in the direction where the voice was coming from.
A black transport helicopter hovered over the quarantine station, and the helicopter had a "B" pattern printed on its fuselage, apparently belonging to Paula.
The cabin of the plane opened, and two heavily armed black-clad mercenaries, carrying a stretcher in their hands, descended from the cabin and entered the tent at the quarantine station. After a short time, he carried Dr. Chen's body onto a stretcher and left quickly. The whole process takes no more than three minutes.
"I'm going? Kuroko, didn't you say that the solar storm and all the electronic instruments failed? So how can their planes still fly? ”
At this time, the quarantine station was crowded with people, all of whom heard the sound of helicopters and watched the sound. They didn't react much, after all, the station was still very safe. Seeing the helicopter leave, they all returned to the tent and continued to eat.
"I don't know, I'm engaged in bioengineering, not mechanical manufacturing, I don't know if you ask me!"
I spread out my hands and said to Dabin helplessly.
"In this way, I have almost eaten enough, you eat slowly, and I will go to the quarantine station to see what is going on."
A few nodded in understanding. With that, I got up and went to the quarantine station.
"Mr. Qi, you're here."
"Ruohan, thank you just now, if it weren't for you, a few of us might have been blasted out of the epidemic prevention station."
When I came to the quarantine station, I lifted the curtain and saw Ruohan sorting out some medical supplies and equipment in the station.
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture, it's not a big deal anyway, and Zhao Shengtian Zhao Company Commander is very good."
Ruohan was still immersed in grief and smiled at me.
"Thank you. By the way, those people just took Dr. Chen away? ”
"Well, they said that Dr. Chen, whether he lived or died, was the property of Paula, so they took Dr. Chen away."
Ruohan explained with a somewhat gloomy expression, and she also began to resist Paula's company. After all, empathy, people are dead, and corpses have to be taken away, and this Paula company is too good.
"All of them! Get ready to shoot! ”
Suddenly, Zhao Shengtian's shouts sounded outside the tent. A few seconds later, the gunshots rang out, and the sound of bullets coming out of the chamber shook my heart from afar.
"What's going on?"
I asked Xiang Ruohan.
"I don't know, since yesterday morning, there have been a steady stream of infected people approaching here, and I don't know how many waves it is."
"What? Yesterday morning? But didn't this epidemic prevention station start taking in survivors just today? Could it have been opened to survivors yesterday? ”
"Well, Company Commander Zhao saw that there were many survivors around him who wanted to take refuge in the epidemic prevention station, so he no longer followed the previous plan, and opened it to the survivors a whole day in advance."
"Doesn't that mean that sooner or later this place will be conquered by the infected? When the time comes, it will become a lonely city! ”
"Wouldn't it? Mr. Qi, it's very safe here, even if these infected people surround the epidemic prevention station, even if the soldiers have no bullets in their guns, the infected people can't attack it. ”
"No, you're thinking too simply, I've never seen so many infected people attack a certain place together for so many days, unless you take the initiative to provoke them. Now this situation is a little abnormal, and I suspect they have evolved!
"How is this possible? Mr. Qi, are you kidding? These infected people are physiologically dead, how do the dead evolve? ”
"Dead people? No, they're not dead. I know all too well the "multi-species gene pool" reagent I developed. These genes will continue to evolve and improve themselves. I have plenty of reason to suspect that there is a high probability that these infected will evolve, but I don't know how. But once that happens, I'm afraid we'll all have to die here! ”
