Shi Qingshan and An Jia sat in a modified car driven by Lin An, and drove behind several fuel vehicles.

The place where Sydney worked was still some distance from the villa, Zhang Gong and Wang Hongwen drove Thor to the lake to scrub, and the two had to go to Lin An's car.

Trucks of all kinds drove through the streets of the Second Ring Road, loaded with masks and men and women, and fire robots with two Gatling machine guns in their arms escorting them towards the outer ring.

Looking at the appearance of those people, as Lin An said, most of them look like farmers who farm the land. They will survive more people in mountain villages without running water than in cities with complex diets.

Lin An said that these people were organized volunteers to collect supplies and open up safe areas.

"Why don't you volunteer?" Shi Qingshan lit two cigarettes, handed him one and asked.

After Lin An thanked him, he said, "I'm going to come out too!" Everyone has to volunteer three days a week, and mine is out this week, so if you don't need to earn money for food, you can rest! ”

"Oh...... Does everyone have to volunteer? Shi Qingshan exposed the cigarette butt out of the car window and blew away the ash a little, feeling that it was not necessarily a wise choice for these people to come to the city.

Lin An shook his head and said, "Volunteers can be replaced!" It's like Fat Bowel and Impermanence and their women who sell their flesh and skin and canned food in their warehouses in exchange for someone else volunteering for them. ”

"How do you earn that job? What's the use of earning credits? Shi Qingshan became interested in the management model of this security zone.

"The work can be used to exchange for supplies such as grain, oil, fuel and batteries. Different jobs are not the same as the amount of work. For example, for carrying supplies to a car, men can get 20 cents a day, and women can get 15 cents. Carrying zombies and giant rat corpses is worth thirty points for men and twenty-five points for women. Cleaning the streets is divided into men and women, and 15 minutes a day. Those who have skills, such as hairdressers, cooks, maintenance workers, and medical personnel, are under the unified management of the troops, and they keep track of their work every day and provide logistical services. Lin An didn't care about everything, and he answered very seriously.

Anjia interjected in the back and asked: "Isn't this just a return to the era of planned economy and eating a big pot of rice?" ”

Lin An nodded uncertainly: "Others have said so, I don't understand it very well!" ”

Shi Qingshan said: "This is the people's commune model!" It's just that it's the most suitable to use now, it can unite forces, and it's also easy to manage all kinds of characters! ”

"Maybe if we stick to the past, the world will enter a communist society!" Anjia said casually.

"How is that possible!" Shi Qingshan threw away the cigarette butt and shook his head and said with a smile: "The communist society is first established under the condition that the means of production are sufficient!" Now they are still worried about filling their stomachs, and it is difficult to even maintain the capital society! I think as long as you don't go back to feudal society, it's a blessing! ”

As he spoke, several cars in front turned into the parking lot of a building.

Looking at the few big characters on the roof of the building, Shi Qingshan asked Lin An: "What are we doing at the National AIDS Prevention and Control Center?" ”

"Sydney is working here! Go up! I still have something to do with them, and Sydney will send you back then! ”

"That's good! Thank you! ”

Shi Qingshan shook hands with Lin An, opened the car door with Anjia and got out of the car, and waved goodbye to the person who saw them off.

"Sydney is studying AIDS? Didn't you say bioengineering? Shi Qingshan stared at the plaque of the AIDS Prevention and Control Center and asked Anjia suspiciously.

An Jia was also a little puzzled, and said: "Maybe she is developing AIDS prevention and treatment drugs here, which also belongs to the scope of bioengineering." Let's go! Just go in and ask her. ”

The entrance to the building was heavily guarded with sandbags and machine guns, and the two were stopped by soldiers on duty at the door.

There is about a squad of soldiers on guard, some of them are responsible for guarding, some are responsible for registering and inspecting visitors, and each of them reveals a faint vicissitudes of life, and their eyes are deep, as if they are veterans who have been killed for a long time.

Seeing Shi Qingshan's military rank, the guard squad leader was very polite. After asking the reason, he made a phone call, and after a while, the cold Yanan greeted him.

Shi Qingshan only knew that Yanan was also surnamed Yang, and lived in Sydney's house, guessing that she might be a little related to Sydney.

Yang Yanan's tall and toned figure was covered by a white coat, his hands were in the pockets of his skinny jeans, and he walked like a model.

Seeing the two of them, she just nodded slightly, her delicate and picturesque face was not smiling, and after bending down to register at the door, she led the two into the building.

Anjia looked at the hurried researchers around her and asked, "Yanan, is Sydney researching AIDS?" ”

Yanan took the two into the elevator, pressed the button on the top floor, and said lightly: "No!" This place also belongs to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and she is only temporarily borrowing the place of the AIDS Prevention and Control Center to work! ”

Shi Qingshan dragged An Jia and pursed his lips, meaning: Niu coaxed, don't pay attention to her!

The elevator stopped on the top floor, and when the door opened, the three of them walked into a bright, bright corridor outside the glass laboratory filled with the smell of fungicide.

"Welcome! Welcome to visit and inspect! ”

Sydney walked over with a smile.

She also wore a short-sleeved white coat today, a bright gray short skirt on her lower body, an open collar, a bulging chest, as if the buttons of her white shirt were about to burst when she walked, and she wore stiletto heels on her straight legs, full of uniform temptation.

"Yo! Who is this? I can't even recognize it without a vest! Shi Qingshan quipped.

"It's poor!" Sydney gave him a blank look.

Shi Qingshan looked at her badge and asked curiously, "Are you studying gene sequencing?" What sequencing is given? ”

"Now we're sequencing brain-eating worms, do you want to test them?" Sydney said with a smile.

Shi Qingshan waved his hand again and again, "Accidental!" Accidents! ”

He suddenly remembered the question he had been thinking about all along: "Where did this brain-eating worm come from?" So powerful! ”

Sydney stretched out her hand and motioned to follow her, saying as she went, "Now it has been established that the brain-eating worm is a genetically mutated parasite carried in the giant rat's body!" ”

Shi Qingshan clapped his fists: "I guess this disease must have something to do with those big rats!" They didn't have this problem before they appeared! ”

"That's it! Don't be an afterthought! Anjia sarcastically said to Shi Qingshan, and also asked what she was most afraid of: "Sydney, where did those giant rats come from?" ”

Sydney's footsteps didn't stop: "Oops! That's a long story! ”

"That's a long story short!" Shi Qingshan and An Jia said in unison.

"Poof!" Sydney couldn't help laughing: "You guys are really women and husbands!" ”

She stopped outside the small conference room, saw that there was no one inside, opened the door and said, "Before my grandfather comes, I'll tell you in detail!" ”

"What did your grandfather ask us for?" Shi Qingshan had long been curious.

Sydney smiled mysteriously: "Keep it secret for the time being!" You'll find out later! ”

She poured tea for the two of them, sat down and talked about the relationship between the giant rat and the brain-eating worm.

In recent years, because human beings have failed to effectively control the greenhouse effect and prevent a series of damage to the earth's ecological environment, the earth's temperature has suddenly increased and accelerated.

A year ago, in 2030, an iceberg formed 15 million years ago collapsed in the Arctic.

Beneath the iceberg of massive collapse, scientists in the Maple Kingdom have discovered a prehistoric giant virus.

They injected the virus into amoeba and then implanted the infected amoeba into three mice for experiments. To their astonishment, the rat doubled in size in 10 days and continues to grow.

The scientists were so excited that they wanted to see what the rats would mutate into, so they kept feeding them.

A month later, several of the lab mice were the size of domestic cats, and the observation box could no longer hold them. As the staff moved them to a larger observation box, the rat, which had been settling and had behaved very little, suddenly bared its teeth and let out a terrible scream.

Their red-eyed and hideous appearance frightened the staff to turn around and run, and the three lab rats took advantage of the panic to escape from the laboratory and burrow into the city sewers.
