Volume 1 Sixty-third Birthday

The notebook is filled with dense red and blue lines.

There are straight lines, curved wavy lines, and entire paragraphs of text framed by elliptical coils, which are pulled apart by red arrows and annotated in the margins.

There is no room left in the notebook. The page is filled with small, dense text symbols at the beginning and end. All of these are the experiences of Wang Qinian and several other researchers in the past month.

After going through the entire notebook again, Wang Qinian took out a document from the drawer and opened it. Looking at the photo of Su Hao on the title page, as well as the words "D4 level researcher" in the central position, he slowly frowned.

In a moment, he reached out and pressed the pager on the table, and the door quickly and silently pushed open from the outside, and into was a tall major officer with a somewhat grim facial expression.

The officer strode close to the desk, bowed slightly, and said, "What do you command?" ”

The voice was very high-pitched, and when I walked closer to the place where the light was shining, I could see that the officer was actually a woman with a fiery body. The chest is straight, and the posture is also superior. It's just that the beautiful face does not have the slightest smile, and it is as cold as ice.

Wang Qinian wiped a handful of sweat from his fat face, took a bite of rice, pointed to Su Hao's photo on the document, vague, but asked very suspiciously: "This is the information from Chengdu." Both the officers of the local monitoring station and the chief officer of the KD03 base affirmed this man's ability. His observation notes are very detailed, and many of the data and ideas are useful for our next research. Well, you know, I rarely meddle in administrative matters. But I don't quite understand, why don't young people with such excellent abilities be rewarded? Just a "D3" level researcher? ”

The female officer glanced at the document, the contents of which she had obviously memorized for a long time, so she said without thinking: "The initial handling opinion of the Chengdu base is the same as yours. At that time, a commendation order had been issued to promote the note-taker himself to the rank of second lieutenant. However, researcher Xiao Lin claimed that this person named Su Hao must be managed by the Academy of Sciences. After the details were filed, Su Hao's identity was changed by her to a D3 researcher. According to Article 11 of the Personnel Handling Rules, Case 38: The Academy of Sciences has priority in the attribution of the identity of non-military personnel without military merit. The Chengdu base can only withdraw the second lieutenant commendation order, which is subject to the personnel change requirements of researcher Xiao Lin. ”

Wang Qinian swallowed the rice in his mouth, and casually picked up a document as a fan to cool off.

looked at the words "Comparison of Zombie Nerve Reflex Data" on the cover of the document in his hand, and a large puddle of oil stains seeping on the surface. The female officer twitched the corner of her eye and did not speak.

"Xiao Lin is that pretty girl who is quite restless?"

Wang Qinian's memory is enough to be described as "terrible". He could name each of the tens of thousands of researchers at the Academy of Sciences.

The glamorous female officer did not answer, expressing acquiescence.

"When did she go to Chengdu? I remember, the hospital didn't assign her a task that had to be done there? ”

Wang Qinian frowned, threw off the slippers on his left foot, stepped on the table beam barefoot, hugged his knees, slowly stroked his thick and stiff leg hair, and muttered sharply: "She doesn't have the ability to interfere with the military's decisions alone." Pressed down a second lieutenant promotion award and changed his status to become a D3-level researcher. You're going to need a lot of help to do this! Being beautiful is indeed an incomparable advantage for men. ”

Although it is not explicitly stated, the shrewd president of the academy has basically guessed the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The expression on the female officer's face was still indifferent: "She is active in relations and is preparing to transfer to a full-fledged military position." ”

Wang Qinian's gray eyebrows raised, and his frowning brows relaxed for a moment: "Regular soldiers do have many benefits, and it is much more interesting than staying in the laboratory all day." ”

The female officer continued to say coldly: "She wants to be transferred to the Xi'an base, and the personnel route has not been approved by the hospital. The Third Army has already written to ask about her, but I have not replied for the time being. ”

"Let her go!"

Wang Qinian waved his hand disappreciatively, with a gentle smile on his fat face: "Send all her files over, and there will be no bottom in the hospital." It's human nature to go to a high place. By the way, tell the military———— since the people have already left, don't think about coming back. This is the Academy of Sciences, not a nursing home. ”

The female officer nodded with a grim expression.

If you don't leave the bottom, it means that you will completely dissociate yourself from the Academy of Sciences. For promotions or promotions, the hospital will not provide any assistance.

Wang Qinian has always been lenient to others, but in this matter, it is not negotiable.

He has never liked people who play tricks on power.

Especially Xiao Lin, a woman who is restless and good at jumping between men.

Dean Fat turned his gaze back to Su Hao's identity document.

"That's how it was for now. His notes are useful to us, and a sudden change of environment can cause disruption to research. I'd love to see his second observation. It's winter, and the zombies' activity patterns should be different from summer. Not! Send a letter to the KD03 base and ask the military to provide him with some necessary research equipment and living resources. Wait and see, if this kid named Su Hao surprises me again, then I won't be a miser. ”

More and more people are returning to the city.

On the highway connecting the outside of the city, you can see people in twos and threes every day. They carry bags of various sizes and a variety of weapons in their hands. The clothes were dirty, the hair was black and long, and it was condensed with dust and mud, and because I hadn't showered for a long time, my body was covered with sweat and dirt, and it emitted a strong smell.

Few chose to walk, mostly on bicycles, and their back racks and front pockets were stuffed with all sorts of things that were supposed to be useful———— bundles of firewood, clothes that I didn't know where to get them, large plastic bottles filled with water, bulging sacks

Most of these survivors worked as families or in teams of a dozen people.

The storm of the virus that spread in May made them frightened and subconsciously followed the flow of people out of the city. After wandering in the wild for a summer, many people find that zombies are not as scary as they imagined. They are slow, unintelligent, unable to use tools, or even run or jump. Although the strength is amazing, it is not difficult to deal with the trick. As long as you are bold and careful, multiple people can completely kill the zombies who are lonely.

There were also survivors who drove cars, faster and shipped more supplies. They are familiar with the mechanics and circuits, which draw fuel from the tanks of discarded vehicles on the side of the road. In particular, refugees from mechanical technical schools or auto repair majors have become the objects of competition among various teams.

As of yesterday, the number of members of Su Hao's team has exceeded 700.

The main building of the field camp has been completed, and most of the ancillary facilities have been installed. There was electricity, clean water, tall and thick walls, and plenty of fuel. Except for the slightly cramped rooms, the living conditions in the camp are good, even comfortable.

Dong Guoping led the engineering team to be busy every day. In addition to the underground cold storage and garage inside the camp, the defensive structures of the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 gas stations are in the final stages. Using the high-power radio transmitters exchanged from the military, Su Hao took the camp as the core and established smooth radio communication with various surrounding strongholds. In addition to the normal short-distance calls, he selected sixteen people from his team to train and learn how to use Morse code.

In addition to the various gas stations gathered around the camp, Su Hao set up two new bases.

One is the village that he selected through drawings in the future world and has a large number of arable fields in the adjacent area. Water facilities are well established, and only the construction of walls and the reinstallation of electrical equipment will provide more food from the energy source.

The other is the liquor conglomerate previously discovered southwest of the camp. There are large areas of grapes planted there, and the outbuildings can meet the needs of hundreds of people. When the roads are clear, the camp can send a large number of people to volunteer at any time.

Most of the grapes harvested this summer were dried into raisins. They have become an indispensable and important nutrient for survivor teams.

The core members of the team who initially joined the team were assigned to each base as team leaders.

Tao Yuan is responsible for the safety and security of the first to fourth gas stations and the daily operation of the station.

Li Xiaomei still manages the logistics of the entire camp.

Lao Song is responsible for many matters in the camp, as well as the qualification review of whether outsiders can join the team.

Chen Kun and 30 team members are stationed at the vineyard.

Zhou Chen spent most of his time in the camp laboratory. Ever since he got the data on all the potion recipes on the USB flash drive, he began to try to configure first-order enhancement potions and immunity potions. This is only a façade, though. Su Hao's real intention was to be able to produce his own amount of medicine.

Xinyan has become the number two person in the team. This sort of identity is largely because of Su Hao. She is not arbitrary, and many things are discussed with Lao Song and others. The team is a huge "swarm" and there has never been a case of disobedience in terms of collaboration and obedience.

Wu Guoguang should not be aware of the existence of the Ludao Field Camp. Even if he knew the truth, Su Hao was not worried. Information from the Future World suggests that the military has never taken control of survivor groups. They simply picked fighters among the survivors and left the rest alone. This kind of indifferent attitude is largely due to strength. In later generations, even large teams with more than 10,000 numbers were still not absorbed by the military, and they did not dare to stand against the conflict and break out.

Su Hao has never shown his strength in front of Wu Guoguang. He will not take the initiative to expose himself and his subordinates are the hole card of strengthening people. Occasionally, soldiers can be seen around the bank building. Under the watchful eye of the watcher, the team members tend to be united, brave against zombies, and have a fair degree of fighting skills. Naturally, with the weapons and ammunition that were exchanged for notes, the bank building has become the city's most powerful survivor team

It's hard to see such a clear sky during the overcast winter months.

Yang Lulu drove a "Land Rover" off-road vehicle and slowly stopped in front of a "KFC" fast food restaurant.

For a nine-year-old child who is 130 centimeters tall and weighs 28 kilograms, driving a vehicle is undoubtedly a farce in the eyes of adults.

Injected with Su Hao's blood, coupled with the silver bones from the corpse, Yang Lulu's physique has been strengthened to the third stage.

She's smart.

After watching a series of actions such as Xinyan and Su Hao starting the car engine with wires and stepping on the clutch a few times, they secretly got into a "Santana" sedan parked outside the camp on a dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, and drove crookedly all the way to the No. 2 gas station.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the team.

That day, Su Hao's face was ugly.

He and the other core members closed the door, and repeatedly persuaded Yang Lulu. The main purpose is nothing more than to be obedient, to be well-behaved, to be a good child with ideals, morality, and sensibility.

They all liked the little girl very much, and neither of them wanted to scold, and they all educated her according to their own ideas.

Yang Lulu didn't say anything at the time, she looked like she had done something wrong, shrunk her paws and kept licking her master's palm with her tongue.

The next night, she drove out again.

The monotonous tug-of-war lasted nearly two weeks.

Su Hao was patient and had a good talk with Yang Lulu. The next day, he took the little girl to a car supermarket on the outskirts of the city and chose a silver-gray "Land Rover".

She has no relatives.

Blindly suppressing will only make the character withdrawn and weird. Especially in the current environment where danger may be encountered at any time, there will even be some abnormal and radical thinking. Yang Lulu is already a third-order enhancer, and her consciousness response, bone and muscle strength far exceed that of ordinary adults. Her mind may not be enough to read a novel such as "The Golden Vase of Plums", but her thinking logic is enough to understand the basic mechanical concepts of vehicle operation.

The Land Rover has been specially modified: the driver's seat is raised so that she can see outside in a normal sitting position. The clutch, brakes, and accelerator are tied with thick foam and rubber on the top, which solves many problems caused by insufficient height and leg length. At the end of the day, the steering wheel was replaced with a smaller grip. Otherwise, with Yang Lulu's soft and short palm, it would be difficult to grasp such a terrifying disc larger than her upper body.

Today is Yang Lulu's birthday.

She told Xinyan in advance that she wanted to go out alone and come back on time before seven o'clock in the evening.

Su Hao couldn't refuse a nine-year-old child's request. The only thing he could do was to equip Yang Lulu with enough weapons, and told him very seriously———— at any time, he must turn on the car communicator and keep the communication open.

The door of the "KFC" fast food restaurant has been smashed, and a lot of fallen leaves have been blown into the store by the wind. A few pieces of glass clasped onto the empty window frames, and a thick pile of dust piled up near the threshold. The entire storefront is dirty, and there is no shortage of black blood stains that can be found everywhere in the city. Even the image of the white-bearded grandfather in red, white, and black at the top of the porch has a hole drilled out of the left eye, and a rotten and blackened human arm is obliquely inserted.

Yang Lulu carefully avoided the stagnant water on the ground, took out a large picnic basket from the car, and jumped up the steps.

She wore a new fiery red velvet skirt and a woolen hood of the same color. The white children's pantyhose make the legs appear slender, and the brown and black boots make the whole person look like Little Red Riding Hood in a fairy tale.

"That's right! I'm going to bring a cake to my grandmother. But where is the big bad wolf? ”

She walked into the fast-food restaurant with a muttering to herself.

Presumably in response to the storyline she was muttering, a zombie with a chef's apron around his neck slowly walked out from behind the counter. Dragging heavy steps, crooking the head that seemed to fall off the neck at any time, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, "ho ho" screamed, and moved closer step by step.

Most of the tables and chairs in the restaurant were overturned, and the messy furnishings blocked the way of the zombies. This unintelligent creature apparently doesn't know how to dodge, or detour. It stubbornly stretched out its hands, not caring about the chair that tripped its heels. After a stalemate of about half a minute, the zombie finally lost its balance and leaned forward and fell down.

Yang Lulu raised her skirt, took out a delicate and small "PPK" pistol from the strap of her right leg, aimed at the head of the zombie crawling forward on the ground, and pulled the trigger hard.

This gun was specially asked for by Su Hao to Wu Guoguang. The muzzle was fitted with a miniature muffler, and the butt was small enough for her to hold.

Yang Lulu subconsciously wanted to go back to the car and get an axe to collect the silver bone. The moment she turned, she saw her own blurred figure in the glass window. After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and walked into the counter on the inside of the store, pulling out a fairly clean rag. She chose a table by the window and spent a few minutes wiping down the table top and chairs before setting up the picnic basket and opening it.

There were a lot of chocolates and other sweets in the basket, which Su Hao carefully selected for her from the team's warehouse.

There are also small stars folded in fluorescent paper, which are the work of Xinyan and the Han sisters.

There is a cake in the center of the basket.

It's not big, it's fragrant, it's smeared with honey and syrup, sprinkled with raisins and some shredded apples. This is Cao Rui's birthday gift specially baked for her this morning. Although there is no cream, the cake has a thick jam filling, which should taste good.

Yang Lulu looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there were no dangerous creatures such as zombies, she took out a palm-sized photo frame from her underwear pocket, pulled open the back support, and gently placed it in front of her.

It was a picture of Dad with himself———— he let himself ride on his neck, smiling happily, with many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and on the door of his head, and his eyes squinted into a fine line.

Yang Lulu took out a pack of colorful birthday candles, counted out ten, and carefully and evenly inserted them on the surface of the cake, forming an irregular circle.

Today, she will be ten years old.

Using a lighter to light a candle, Yang Lulu stared at her father's photo through the flickering flames, her eyes slowly becoming moist.
