Chapter 42: An Unexpected Encounter
Fei Qian sat in the laboratory for a day, and all that was projected back and forth in his mind was Han Yuxi's face, her laughter, her crying, her helplessness, and her forbearance. All this was so close to him, her laughter made him happy, her tears made him feel distressed, but all this was far away from him, for the sake of a wrong door. It's really the most powerful and realistic irony of love.
Finally caught the so-called off-duty time, Fei Qian quickly left this space that once fascinated him but now suffocated him. Staying here only reminded him of Han Yuxi's persistence and final abandonment, which were all factors that tormented him and made him unable to sleep peacefully.
Hurried back to the villa, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Meng and Yang Qing sitting on the sofa drinking red wine, looking very comfortable, while Ye Fan was like a hard-working little bee, busy in the kitchen, and bursts of vegetable fragrance wafted out from there, tickling his stomach after a day's rest.
"Yo, Feiqian, it's quite early to get off work." Wang Meng saw Fei Qian come back, and consciously poured him a glass of wine, thanks to Ye Fan's blessing, they may be the only foursome who do not lack food and drink in this last world.
"Coming back? Just wait a minute, to celebrate your first day at work, I made a lot of delicious food today. Ye Fan brought the stewed soup out of the kitchen, there was no condition in the car before, but now there is a decent kitchen, everything is complete, Ye Fan's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
"Really?" Feeling a somewhat homely atmosphere, Fei Qian's cold heart finally warmed up.
"Get down to business." Yang Qing interrupted Wang Meng, who was about to start playing treasure, and began to tell Fei Qian about the harvest of today's day trip to the base.
"So it seems that the government's estimation of the time of the meteorite impact is inaccurate, otherwise there would not be so many loopholes to be filled now." Fei Qian said with interest, he thought in his heart, although the Beihai base now looks like a paradise, there is no shortage of anything, but this is likely to be only the surface, the former ecological balance has been destroyed, almost all species are evolving or extinct, only the "human elite" hiding in the base and the species they brought in are still standing still. It seems that to help Sun Zhan gain control of the base, it will not take as long as originally planned, and then the opening of the base will force the base to need more and more evolved abilities, and Darwin's truth of survival of the fittest will always exist in this world.
"You want to take on a mission?" Fei Qian took a sip of the slightly astringent red wine, which Ye Fan made later, and it would not hurt to drink more.
"Hmm. The reward for the task is not low, and besides, you let Wang Meng sell things or build walls and farm land? That seems unlikely. Yang Qing said helplessly, if Wang Meng'an stays in one place quietly, and is still being managed, he will come to the incident of intentional injury within a day.
"It's a bit difficult." Fei Qian had to admit that it was too unrealistic to let Wang Meng go farming or something.
"You guys!" Wang Meng wanted to refute, but he couldn't see a reason to oppose it as if he was stuck in the neck.
"Then let's decide so, let's go to the mission hall early tomorrow morning to see if there are any tasks to take, and then get ready to prepare. It can not only make money but also enhance strength, a win-win situation. Ye Fan brought the last dish to the table and expressed her opinion by the way.
"You're going with you, too?"
"Of course, I can't hide behind you all the time, and rely on you for protection all the time." Ye Fan said affirmatively, "I don't want to be a burden to you. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you too."
"Aren't you going to the institute?"
"It's okay, my boss is an old friend of mine, I don't think he minds." Fei Qian thought of Han Junxi, thinking that he probably wouldn't mind skipping work.
"So it's decided. The success rate should be much greater. Wang Meng said vaguely while stuffing food into his mouth, "With his one hundred and eighty hearts, I wonder if we can solve it without spending a single bullet." ”
"Don't steal it!" Ye Fan took the chopsticks and pulled them at Wang Mengzheng's hand that was constantly reaching into the bowl, "These are specially prepared for Fei Qian, why did you eat them first!" ”
"Sister, you are a big friend and friend!"
"Can't you! Fei Qian went to work on his first day today, and these were all done for him. Ye Fan did not show weakness, straightened up his small chest and looked at Wang Meng. Wang Meng, who eats people and has a soft mouth, has to reluctantly put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Fei Qian and Yang Qing were smiling and watching the two of them stare at each other, and then quickly put all the delicious food on the plate into their own bowls, of course, Yang Qing would keep it for Wang Meng.
The next day, Fei Qian went to the research institute alone to communicate with Han Junxi, and the rest of the people went to the mission hall to inquire about the situation first, and finally decided which task to receive after Fei Qian came.
"You're on a mission?" Han Junxi looked at Fei Qian who was standing in front of him, and asked in some surprise, you must know that very few people who come into the base are willing to go out again, and few people are willing to do those tasks even if they are regular soldiers with weapons provided by the government, and the remuneration is not low, but it is a business with their lives.
"Yes, so I don't come to the institute every day, but I hope to keep my lab, and of course, I don't force it if it doesn't." Fei Qian said in a flat tone, as if he and Han Junxi were just at work.
"If it's just for Yuxi or my relationship, you don't have to." Han Junxi tried to persuade Fei Qian, although he knew that Fei Qian must have his way of survival if he could enter the base smoothly, but Fei Qian was a rare talent, and he didn't want any accidents.
"No, you're you, she's her, and I don't have anything to do with her anymore."
"Then why are you ......?"
"It was my decision and that of my friend, and besides, there was a person there I wanted to protect." Fei Qian thought of Ye Fan, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, which he didn't even know.
Han Junxi saw Fei Qian's expression that had become softened when he obviously thought of someone, and he didn't know how to feel for a while, the man who had always only loved his sister would one day look at another person? Although there is nothing to blame, it is emotionally unbearable.
"In that case, you go ahead, I'll keep it for you, I hope you can spend more time on research."
"Thank you." After speaking, Fei Qianhao turned around and walked out without hesitation, the result was what he had expected a long time ago, the Han family, as the first family in genetic research and application, if this could not be done in the base, the Han family could directly give up the first position.
By the time Fei Qian arrived at the task hall, Ye Fan and the others had already picked out a few tasks that they thought were feasible, and they only waited for Fei Qian to come and discuss and make a final decision.
"Ancient corpses?" Fei Qian saw that one of them was actually going to a second-tier city not far from the base to pick up ancient corpses.
"Well, this is the famous thousand-year-old wet corpse, it doesn't seem to have moved in, what the research institute wants."
"Do you want to find out any information related to zombies from the ancient corpses? After all, it's a corpse that hasn't been broken for thousands of years. Wang Meng guessed, in his opinion, in fact, this task is the most suitable, the distance is close, and it is not a city with too many populations, the danger factor is low, but the things to be brought back make Wang Meng feel that there is no value.
"We discussed it and decided that this task would be more suitable." Yang Qing said, "This is the first time we have gone out, we can't go too far, and the things we want to bring back are not difficult to find, and the mission does not stipulate that the damage to the corpse is regarded as a failure or something, as long as we bring it back, it doesn't have to be the same." ”
"How could I bring it back as it was, I've been to that museum, it's not big, the most important of all the exhibits is this corpse, and the rest are things that I don't know where to dig them up. But the corpse lay in several large coffins and small coffins, the outermost one being two stories high. It's almost impossible to get it back in its entirety, and I suspect that after the power outage, the temperature is no longer constant, and she may have begun to corrupt. Ye Fan recalled what he saw in the museum before, "However, except that her eyes didn't open, she really looked like a zombie outside." ”
"Since Ye Zi has been there, let's choose this one and use it as a practice." Fei Qian finally agreed to choose this task, first, because it was really close, and second, there was a metal company in that city that specialized in the production of a rare metal material, which was necessary for the new type of weapon he wanted to study in the future.
"So what are you waiting for, the guy and go. Go back and move some things and you'll be able to go, and if you're lucky, you'll be there this afternoon. "Along the way, I have killed zombies almost every day, and now I haven't done it for a while, and Wang Meng only feels that his hands are itching.
A group of four people went to the window to register, and the entry clerk inside was very surprised to see that it was the first time that a team that was not a regular army came to take over the task. "Tasks can be undertaken by multiple teams, there is no time limit, and only the team that reaches the conditions of the task the fastest will receive the reward. However, this task is currently only yours to undertake, and good luck to you. ”
At the moment when the four of them took over the task, Sun Zhanzhan, Mo Yiping, Han Junxi and other people who had the right to contact the host of the Beihai base knew about the actions of the four of them.
Sun Zhanzhan: Sure enough, Ye Fan, you have to come back alive with your team.
Mo Yiping: Hehe, these people are really idle, let's look for the dead.
Han Junxi: Fei Qian, has the outside world also made you different?
No matter what the others thought, Ye Fan and the others were carefully preparing and preparing to start their first mission.
