The Gray Age Chapter 176 Base Camp
"It's a medical kit, it's pretty good."
Dr. Chan walked over with a white medical kit in his hand.
"Good. Sorry Dr. Chen. ”
I took the medical kit and thanked Dr. Chen.
When I opened the box in front of me, there was a packet of raw medicinal herbs Rhodiola, a box of Zhengqi water, morpholine and other medicinal materials to fight altitude sickness.
"Dabin, help me set up the stove over there, and I have to make a fire to fry the medicine. There is also the oral liquid that has been frozen, and it has to be dissolved. ”
The medicines are as Dr. Chan said, very well. But this room is actually about the same temperature as the outside world, at most there is no wind and snow. Therefore, these medicinal herbs have been frozen and solid.
"Roger."
Dabin responded decently, and then looked for combustibles to start a fire.
The space in the house is not very large, and the furnishings are relatively simple. Even the beds are Chase bunks, which can sleep more than a dozen people in a row.
Except for some necessary living facilities, decorations and other things are basically invisible.
"Let's rest first, and after a while, a few of us who are not afraid of the cold will bring the necessary equipment, go to the peak first to spread the potion to the ball, and then go to find the legendary Warden Fortress. Rest assured, we will definitely see the light after tossing all the way to the present! ”
Looking at the confused eyes of the people around me, I somehow said such a paragraph.
At this time, the iron furnace in front of Dabin also began to burst into golden flames. The furnace crackled, and this was the sound of hope!
At this time, it seems that we have just experienced the catastrophe and are in the "home-like" hotel. Maggie and I sat in a dark and quiet room, lighting a candle. Although the candlelight is weak, the demons and monsters that can shine are nowhere to hide. Let us enjoy that moment of peace and ease.
Seeing that the fire was already burning, I took a small pressure cooker from the table in the room, took two bottles of mineral water that had been frozen into popsicles and used Maggie's dagger to draw a circle between the bottles, and put the ice cubes in the pot to melt.
"Dabin, the exhaust must be done well, otherwise there will be smoke in the house for a while, and the amount of carbon dioxide will increase rapidly. We're all going to be poisoned. ”
Seeing that Dabin was holding a puff fan in his hand and fanning it in front of the stove, I reminded me in a timely manner.
"I know, I don't know what's going on with this smoke, it seems to be drilling into a hole in the top of my head, you see."
Following Dabin's finger, I saw smoke coming out of the stove drifting into a black hole in the roof.
"It should be the ventilation system, the air pressure in the house is much lower than the outside, so the air inside will be squeezed out all the time, and it will not cause any carbon dioxide poisoning at all. Looks like I'm stupid..."
I shook my head and said with a wry smile. Since the base camp dared to put the stove here, they had already thought about the possibility of carbon dioxide poisoning, and had already renovated the room facilities.
When the water boiled, I lifted the lid and added an appropriate amount of dried rhodiola rosea, and finally closed the lid again.
The room gradually warmed up, and everyone took off their extra clothes and chatted with their close people.
"Heihei, you'll be there later. Do you have to go? ”
Maggie unconsciously came to my side and asked me with some hesitation and concern.
"Hmm... Well. ”
I'm a little scared of Maggie. I'm afraid that she will think that I am a man who doesn't care about their mother and daughter like before. So he made two ambiguous sounds.
"I'm not here to stop you. I just want you to know that there's me behind you. You're not alone anymore, so... Don't try too hard. ”
Maggie looked at me tenderly and said.
"Got it, don't worry. I haven't seen our little baby yet, and I can't die. ”
Gently touching Maggie's cold face with my hand, I said with a grin.
"You've always been like this..."
Maggie muttered angrily.
After half an hour, the medicine is almost decoction, and it can't be as usual, and it can be fried for several hours to have an effect.
The oral liquid such as Zhengqi Water had also melted, and it was brought to Xiao Long at this time.
"Thank you, Qi..."
"Qi Mo."
"Ah, Qi Mo. I'm so sorry about what happened before, I really slipped my hands to assign you to hard work..."
Xiao Longwan didn't expect that the person in front of him was so concerned about his life, just now Gai Qingxuan had already told him how he came here after he fell into a coma.
This made Xiao Long very embarrassed, and he always felt that he owed me something.
"Ahh Don't mention the past. We're all a family now... Oh, don't look at me like that! The hairs are standing on end! ”
I would have liked to explain so that he would not have to have a psychological burden. But in the end, I saw Xiao Long looking at me with an ambiguous look, and I didn't know what they meant by this kind of look, but it only gave me the feeling of five words: "Very uncomfortable!" ”
"I'll do the rest, Mr. Qi, thank you just now!"
Gai Qingxuan took the small pressure cooker in my hand at this time and said very sincerely.
"Okay, I said you two shouldn't be..."
Looking at the appearance of the two "loves" in front of me, although I don't discriminate, I always feel that two big men look like this... It can't be some kind of brotherhood, right?
"Mr. Qi, this matter is quite unspeakable, but it is definitely not what you think."
Gai Qingxuan glanced at Xiao Long and explained to me instead.
"Understood. Then I won't ask any more. By the way, this is the amulet copper coin you gave me. Now I basically don't need to use it to protect myself. Why don't I pass it on to Xiao Long. ”
As I spoke, I took out the quaint copper coin from my pocket and put it in front of Xiao Long.
"Okay."
Gai Qingxuan nodded, picked up the copper coin with a square inside and a round outside, and handed it to Xiao Long.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Long looked very happy, holding the copper coin in his hand and playing with it.
"Thank you too, Qi Mo!"
In Xiao Long's opinion, I am nothing more than repaying my grievances with virtue, and I have repaid it twice. This made my image in his heart suddenly tall and majestic. Although I just did what I felt I was supposed to do.
"Zhuge , do you want to stay with me?"
Looking at the time, it's almost ten o'clock in the morning. The blizzard outside has weakened a lot compared to before. For me, as long as the visibility is slightly better, climbing to the top of Mount Everest shouldn't be a problem.
Now the first thing is to find a few pairs of hiking boots, and this kind of ordinary sneakers and leather shoes under our feet will definitely not work.
"Dabin, you and Dr. Chen must protect everyone's safety here, and we can't tolerate any sloppiness."
Turning around, I said to Dabin and Dr. Chen.
"Kuroko, aren't you taking me there? Maybe it helps
Busy? ”
Dabin was a little reluctant to stay here, and wanted to go with me to see what the top of the mountain was like.
"No need, Zhuge and I plus the general, it's no problem."
I outright rejected Dabin's idea.
"The genes in the three of you have also been activating, but the activation rate is slower, and the genes you bring are less compatible with the mutant cells. Sooner or later, however, the remaining disordered genes will be neatly arranged. In this way, I promise you that when the world is peaceful and prosperous, I will accompany you to the summit again. But now you also have a very important task to protect our families. In some ways, you even have a heavier task than I do! ”
Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason, and Dabin finally understood how heavy the burden was on his body.
"Well, I'm sure I'm not going to hurt you in the slightest! Even if you gamble your life! ”
Dabin suddenly said solemnly.
This sentence came out of Dabin's mouth, and it didn't feel ridiculous at all. Our generation has become different from those of earlier generations. It is very irresponsible for a person to eat his family and not go hungry. As human beings, we also smoke, drink, and shake our heads. Although he is greedy for money and lustful, he also has a righteous spirit!
With great power comes great responsibility, and this sentence has been heard rottenly. I don't know how many people will be ridiculed and despised when I say it. But people who are really capable and very capable will keep this sentence firmly in their minds and engraved in their bones. Because that's his responsibility!
"Well done! Maggie please! ”
I patted Dabin on the shoulder. With such a friend by my side, what more could I ask for?
Before that, I confessed that I was a salted fish, a salted fish that could never turn over. I feel lost about the future, my life is boring, even though I love my job. But life is not only about work, but also about family, friends, lovers, and even children.
I didn't know what I should choose, and I was full of unknowns and fears about what the future holds. After the mutant cells swept the ball, the heavens forcibly smashed the future of all of us, whether you were hopeful about it or not.
It turns out that even any one of these results is a hundred times better than the current one! But I can't be confused anymore, and I even have to be hopeful for the future! Perhaps this is the root of human inferiority. Only when you lose can you know how to cherish, if the knife is not pierced in your body, you will never experience this feeling, this feeling that you desperately want to grasp but can never grasp!
Now I have once again created a chance to put an end to it all, a chance to let the survivors of the world live in the sun! Hopefully I'll get my hands on it this time! For me, for Maggie and the children, for everyone I know and don't know!
"Alright, let's go look for equipment in another room, you can wait here. General, let's go! ”
I said to everyone in a chic manner, looked at Zhuge Bai again, nodded to each other, and finally commanded the general.
"Wang!"
The general let out an excited shout, the black butterfly tie that had been tied around its neck had been lost due to its combat stance, but the pink openwork butterfly tie around the neck of the cerebellar axe was still there.
The cerebellar axe jumped off the general's back with great interest, and rubbed his little head hard against the general's neck. Finally squatted at Madgie's feet.
"Be careful..."
Maggie waved at me and looked at me expectantly.
"Gone."
I smiled and said to Maggie, showing off my non-existent biceps by the way. Then he and Zhuge Bai pushed open the door of this room.
