The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

Back home, Luo Xun put the dumplings he had brought back into the kitchen. They actually had nothing to do today, and the room next door had to be left to dry for a while before they could paint the walls and lay the ground dragons.Some of my own vegetables need to be replanted to the extent that they can bear seeds.The plants that need to be regerminated for cultivation were just placed in the nursery box this morning.For the time being, there seems to be nothing else to do.

The little guy was bouncing around at home while biting a rope tied to an iron handle specially made by Yan Fei to grind his teeth. After putting the dumplings away, Luo Xun felt as if he heard something faintly?

"What's the name?" Luo Xun asked suspiciously after listening to the left and right.

Yan Fei also looked surprised, listened carefully and pointed to the seedling room.

The two walked carefully to the nursery room and gently opened the door, and then saw a small quail egg in the incubator that had broken at some point, and a small, wet, yellow quail egg , but the little quail the size of the man's thumb was looking around blankly!

"It's hatched!!" Luo Xun excitedly hugged Yan Fei beside him, turned around and rushed into the nursery room.

Gently take out the little quail, put it in a box that has been prepared a long time ago, and take the prepared water and the feed prepared earlier.

Newly hatched quails are very fragile and need higher temperatures, clean drinking water, and suitable food.

Luo Xun was very glad that he was at home these few days, otherwise, if the baby quails at home hatched when he needed to go out to work, and if no one cared about him for a long time after starvation... cough cough, maybe a few of them would die.

Carefully placed the little quail, watched it eat some well-conciled feed, and checked the quail eggs that were still hatching to confirm that there seemed to be a few more that were about to hatch, and then he breathed a sigh of relief Following Yan Fei, he walked out.

"That's great, having a baby at home on New Year's Eve." That fluffy, yellow little thing is so small, it almost melts one's heart just looking at it.

If it wasn't for the fact that the newly hatched quail was relatively fragile, Luo Xun would have taken it out as a pet.

Yan Fei smiled and said, "In a few days, there will be a few more, but the house will be lively."

The New Year's Eve is placed before the end of the world. Although people's pace of life has become faster and various traditions have been lost, it has gradually become less and less old-fashioned, but in today's end of the world, people who can survive are still very pleased. Because I can live to see the stars at night and the sun in the morning on New Year's Day.

At least for the Chinese people, the atmosphere in the base today is far more emotional than it was during the Gregorian New Year two months ago.

Being able to survive this year means that he has gone a step further in the apocalypse.

The bases are placed in various places, and the large broadcasting speakers that have been temporarily tinkered after the end of the world will start broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala recordings that have been recorded in advance and recorded in time around [-]:[-] p.m.

Because the communication in the base has not yet been restored, this evening show is basically played in art forms that can be expressed in pure language and music, such as music, songs, cross talk sketches, etc.It seems that these entertainment activities have been pushed back decades ago, but the loudspeakers lined up in the streets and alleys have given the people in the base somewhat a spiritual support to a certain extent.

Those who did not have a radio at home took advantage of the not too cold weather, and even many people simply went out of the house and gathered under the loudspeaker to listen to the programs played inside.

People who know each other and don't know each other gather everywhere to enjoy this rare safe and quiet festival.

However, most of these broadcasting speakers are built in the inner city. Because the outer city has just been cleaned and the fence has been built, these things are not installed immediately.Of course, there is another important reason - the outer city is too close to the wall, what if the sound is too loud and attracts zombies?The inner city is much better by comparison.

The two of Luo Xun also turned on the loudspeaker after returning early. Luo Xun calmed down from the excitement of hatching quail at home. In the afternoon, he went into the nursery room for research and finally decided to modify the quail nest to let the young quail hatch. After coming out, you can follow a passage to the small box next to it, gather and eat with other companions.

I have to say that these poultry are much easier to take care of than human babies... no, they are much easier to take care of than ordinary mammals. After all, they can open their eyes, walk around, and find food when they make a sound.Although they are equally fragile, compared to the offspring of mammals who can't even open their eyes when they are born, they can only instinctively search for their mother's breasts, and many of them can't even move at all.

The surrounding area of ​​the incubator was blocked by Luo Xun to prevent the little quails from falling to the ground in a panic.

There is only a day or two of time difference between these small quail eggs. Once the first one makes any movement and hatches, the subsequent ones will naturally follow soon, so Luo Xun must make preparations in advance.

After working all afternoon, the two of them were half lying on the sofa.Luo Xun leaned against Yan Fei's arms, subconsciously ignoring the intention of the "superior" person he had always insisted on...Of course, in some respects, he is now "pressing" on Yan Fei's body.

On the coffee table next to the sofa, there were still a few leftover dumplings left on the plate, and there was another plate on the table that was completely empty, and it was filled with sausages that had just been wiped out—these sausages were originally hung on the ceiling to face the wind. Piaoyang, freshly steamed by Luo Xun, cut into plates.

The dried chickens, ducks, bacon sausages and so on at home have hardly been touched by Luo Xun since the end of the world. On the one hand, there is still a lot of meat frozen in the refrigerator, which has not been completely eliminated.On the other hand, these air-dried meats can be stored for a longer period of time. After all, Luo Xun is not sure how long it will take for them to get meat again—at least not within a year.

After the little guy had dinner and ran to the bathroom to hum tactfully, he ran around the house a few times to have fun, and then jumped onto the sofa, lying directly in Luo Xun's arms, begging to be stroked.

So the shape of two people and one dog on the sofa became - Yan Fei hugging Luo Xun, Luo Xun hugging the little guy... such a peaceful family of three.

All kinds of singing and music came from the radio, making the already quiet room a little more lively.Under the powerful effect of the biological clock, Luo Xun felt a little sleepy around eleven o'clock, but he still insisted on waiting, at least until after twelve o'clock, after eating a Chinese New Year's Day dumpling, before going upstairs to sleep.

Therefore, although the post-apocalyptic big shows were rare, he didn't listen to them much afterward.It's Yan Fei, because he has to use his ability once every night before going to bed, and often he will put this kind of training after tossing Luo Xun. To sweat, he is more adaptable to staying up late than Luo Xun.

The two quietly listened to the arrival of New Year's Eve on the radio and the countdown of the hosts. Even the people downstairs and those who insisted on listening to the program around the loudspeakers couldn't help cheering at this time.

On New Year's Eve, although fireworks are not allowed at the base for safety reasons, this New Year's atmosphere is still enhanced by it.

Luo Xun rubbed his eyes with a smile, raised his head and took a bite on Yan Fei's chin: "Happy Chinese New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year." Yan Fei also lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek. The little guy thought they were playing, and lay on Luo Xun's body, twisting and twisting, forcing the dog's head between their faces.

Pushing away the dog's head, Yan Fei smiled and raised his hand to pick up the plate on the side: "Eat a dumpling before going to sleep, at least it's the Chinese New Year."

Luo Xun sat up with a smile, and after eating one each with Yan Fei, he also opened a dumpling and gave it to the little guy who was constantly tossing in his arms curiously.The little guy's nose twitched, and then he opened his mouth to hold it in his mouth. After jumping off the sofa, he lay down in front of the sofa and began to gnaw and chew slowly.

"I also said that the dumplings this time are mainly vegetables, so I thought it wouldn't eat it." Luo Xun looked at the little guy who was eating vigorously in surprise, and smiled at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei also laughed: "Isn't that good? Vegetables are much easier to get than meat for us, and it will be easy to feed after it can eat vegetables."

There were some crying sounds faintly in the corridor, and it didn't sound too far away.Luo Xun and Yan Fei were surprised at first, and then suddenly thought of something. They didn't go out to check the situation after making sure that no one opened the door in the corridor—sometimes, people really need to vent their anger.

After the two and one dog ate, there was still one left on the plate on purpose, Luo Xun got up and stretched and walked to the bathroom: "Brush your teeth and wash your face, get ready for bed, and you can sleep late tomorrow!"

"Well, let's take a good rest tomorrow." The last day of the three-day holiday is tomorrow. The two of them tossed the house all day yesterday, and made dumplings and cooked with Li Tie and the others during the day. Going to work again the day after tomorrow.

Suddenly, the little guy who ate the dumplings straightened up suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the balcony window, and his ears were straightened up. His hind legs swung back first, and then "barked" towards the direction of the window.

"What's the matter?" Luo Xun woke up without thinking about going to the bathroom to wash up.The little guy usually doesn't like to bark. The last time he barked at home was when a group of thieves came in the corridor, so Li Tie and others had lived in the neighborhood with Luo Xun and the others for so long without knowing it. There is a dog in his family, which shows how good it is.Even when the little quail hatched today and there was a cry from the corridor, it clearly heard the sound but never cried. But looking at its appearance now, did it find anything unusual?

Luo Xun and Yan Fei hurried to the balcony and carefully observed the situation on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the balcony—the plants, nothing abnormal.Outside the window, nothing unusual...

Luo Xun thought that some thieves would come out to commit crimes during the New Year's Eve, trying to come down from the roof and twist the door to pick the lock, but now it seems that there is nothing outside.

But the little guy was still tensing up in a certain direction, making a threatening sound from his mouth.

Luo Xun squatted down and circled its body to comfort it, while Yan Fei opened some windows, both of them were cautious characters, and they would not ignore the cause of its nervousness just because it was just a dog barking.

"...Listen, is there any sound outside?" Yan Fei who was standing at the window was the first to notice the problem, and Luo Xun quickly got up and went to the window to listen carefully to the sound outside.

The broadcast on the loudspeaker has stopped at this time, and there are some faint human voices downstairs, talking and laughing, and some crying caused by missing family members and fearing the end of the world-the crowd who just heard the program and went home.But in a more distant direction, it seems faintly...

——"Cannon! Someone is setting off firecrackers!" Luo Xun suddenly tried to understand the source of those voices, and looked at Yan Fei beside him in amazement.

Yan Fei also frowned and looked into the distance suspiciously: "That direction...seems a little far away..."

"...It can't be the outer wall, right?!"

----------

A few military jeeps roared towards a certain direction of the outer wall, and there was a faint fire and firecrackers in the distance. As soon as their vehicles turned a corner, they saw a ruin not far away, laughing and laughing. Shooting cannons to watch the lively crowd.

"Put it out immediately! Catch them all!"

"Hey, hey! Why arrest people!"

"Let go, let me go!"

"Mother……"

The cries and protests of men and women were interrupted by being stuffed into cars at the end of the forcibly extinguished firecrackers.

In several places in the outer base, people were forcibly taken away for setting off firecrackers.

"Why are we not allowed to set off cannons?! Is it still called Chinese New Year if we don't set off cannons during Chinese New Year? What's bothering you?!"

"That's right, after being tossed by those ghost-like things outside for so long, aren't we allowed to set off firecrackers to scare off ghosts? Isn't the purpose of setting off firecrackers during Chinese New Year to scare ghosts!"

The protests were endless, making the faces of the soldiers in charge of rhyming extremely ugly.

Those relying on the base wall had just been built, and felt that the base had become much safer. The position where they set off the firecrackers was not too close to the wall, so they took out the firecrackers collected outside before arriving at the base, trying to get rid of the bad luck.

It's not that their thoughts are incomprehensible, but——

"Chief! I suggest that these people be sent outside to guard the fence! Zombies are sensitive to sound and will be attracted by sound. Idiots know it. I think they do it on purpose!" The leader in charge of maintaining law and order said loudly.

"Yes, sir! Most of our soldiers have to guard outside, but just because they set off firecrackers, how many zombies have been attracted outside?!"

The person in charge took a deep breath with a sullen face, and glared at the angry soldiers: "What are you letting them do? Add to the chaos! You dare to set off firecrackers to attract zombies in the base, and wait for the defensive offensive to get them over. Get ruined by them!"

"But..." But how could it be over like this? !There used to be a lot of zombies because of the strong smell of humans here in the base, and these days they gathered more and more, but tonight someone suddenly set off firecrackers in the base, which made the already crazy zombies even more excited!It also attracted zombies from farther away and suddenly attacked several defense points after hearing the sound!They have already received a distress signal, if not for their duty to maintain the safety of the base, they would have gone out of the city to support those stations!

The person in charge took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, shook his head slightly and said, "As for their disposal orders, we must obey the arrangement of the superior." Those who cause trouble in the base should be thrown outside to guard the fence!

The faces of the captured people who heard the conversation here changed slightly at this time, and they shrank back and dared not speak loudly, for fear that these soldiers would throw themselves out of the base if they were upset.They finally came to the base and lived a relatively peaceful life, how could they be willing to go out?

"Brother, I really didn't set off a cannon, I just heard the noise and went to watch the excitement..."

"That's right, Brother Bing, I didn't let the gun go!"

After hearing the words of a few quick-witted people, the rest of the people who responded quickly also showed their innocence, and chaos broke out in the originally quiet carriage.

"Shut up! If you talk nonsense, just throw you out!" A soldier who was already in a rage raised his gun and fired two shots into the sky, and the carriage fell silent.

----------

Someone in the base is firing a cannon, although it is not sure whether the location of the cannon is far or close to the outer wall?But the hearing of the first-level zombies today is much better than that of the original zombies. Luo Xun is sure that if it is on the street outside the base, even if there are cars passing by on the road two streets away, these first-level zombies You can hear the sound chasing after him, not to mention the bright sound of firing cannons?

"Oh, it will definitely be lively outside the wall tonight." Luo Xun sighed with emotion in a low voice.

Yan Fei nodded slightly, but still smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, the wall has been built and nothing serious will happen."

Naturally, Luo Xun also understood that today's first-class zombies cannot jump up the three-meter-high wall.But those guarding the perimeter of the wall, the ditches and stakes, the spikes, and the guards at several passes may be in trouble.The original role of these soldiers was to prevent survivors from defecting, or to help guard and kill the zombies that followed when military vehicles came in and out.But at this time, they may encounter many dangers.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go to bed." Yan Fei closed the window, and they couldn't and couldn't interfere with the outside affairs.

"Yeah." Turning around, the little guy was too honest to bark at this time, and wriggled his little tail back to the kennel in the living room, where he lay down and got ready to sleep.

Holidays are always short and extravagant. Luo Xun and the others ushered in the first generation and members of their poultry on New Year's Eve. Early the next morning, they found two more hatchlings in the incubator. The little quail that came out.

The three quails huddled together and uttered a low and weak cry, which made people's bones almost crumble.

"We'll be able to put them together with the big quails in a week or so!" Luo Xun excitedly leaned outside the box to observe the three fluffy little things inside—the hatching rate of his family is not bad, the earliest All three eggs hatched unexpectedly, and none was wasted!

Yan Fei manipulated the metal rings on the paws of the little quails to engrave "2.X (X is also a number, representing the number)" mark, which is used to mark the second batch of hatched little quails: "Aren't you going to give them a few more?"

"When these little things grow up, their house is still too cold, and they won't be able to feed them now." Luo Xun gently picked up one that just hatched today, carefully distinguishing the male from the female.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Fei leaned over to watch with him after finishing the anklet.

"I'll see if I can separate the male from the female... No, it's hard to tell when they grow up." Luo Xun regretfully put down the little thing he had trampled on for a long time, and made sure that the three quails were all the same. They are relatively healthy, and they don't need to worry about it for the time being, so they drag Yan Fei to work on other things together.

After lazily resting at home for the last day, Luo Xun and Yan Fei got up early in the morning, dressed and prepared to go out.

After the two entered the corridor, they saw that the door of Li Tie's room was also opened. Han Lichong waved to them and knocked on the door of room 1602 next door.

"Zhang Su isn't going to work today, is he? I remember he will be in the third year of junior high school?" Luo Xun straightened his backpack straps and asked suspiciously as he walked over.

"Yes, Brother Zhang won't go, but we will ask Wang Duo to go with us." Li Tie yawned and said vaguely.

"Wang Duo? He didn't go back last night?" Yan Fei raised his brows amusedly, with a gloating expression on his face.

Li Tie, Wu Xin, and Han Li immediately nodded deeply with "you know" expressions on their faces: "It's not just that you didn't come back last night? You didn't pass the night when you were thirty! He moved all his things in during the day yesterday! "

Luo Xun also waited at the gate of 1602 with a smile on his face, and when the gate opened, Wang Duo walked out with a slightly tired face but extremely excited: "Are you going to work? I packed everything up." !"

Everyone stared at his slightly pale complexion in unison, and then looked at his legs.

Wang Duo's hairs stood on end in shock from the gaze, and he took a step back: "You, what are you looking at?"

"See if you can still walk."

Wang Duo's face blushed first, then he puffed up his chest, with a smug expression on his face: "Cut, who is brother?!" He is obviously the boss!

Suddenly, he fell forward violently, revealing the impatient Zhang Su who slowly retracted his feet and walked back: "Why are you stuck here?"

Compared with Wang Duo's slightly pale complexion, Zhang Su's complexion is ruddy, his face is radiant, and his whole body exudes a lazy aura, coupled with those pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be able to glisten... …Ahem, everyone present looked at Wang Duo with admiration, who just got up from the ground with a flattering smile on his face—to satisfy such a goblin, child, we are not afraid that you will be crushed below, we I'm afraid you have kidney deficiency...

Wang Duo leaned towards Zhang Su with a dog-legged smile on his face, exuding a dog-legged sense of "If you didn't kick it well, then kick it again! I will never hide!" , it is unbearable to look directly at.Zhang Su didn't even look at this shameless bastard, put on his coat and walked out.

"You want to go out?" Luo Xun and the others couldn't be blamed for being surprised. Second Lieutenant Ding had said when he came that day that Zhang Su could rest comfortably at home for three days. Why is he going out today?Could it be that there were still fish that slipped through the net that night?

Zhang Su spread his hands: "You are all gone, what am I doing at home?" Although his house has the shelves and other things that Li Tie and the others gave him before to grow vegetables, but he doesn't know how to handle these things at all. Second, the weather is not too warm now, and the insulation measures in his house are not as good as Li Tie's.Three - he doesn't want to stay at home alone, he would rather go to the hospital to torture the patients who run around and get injured all over the body, such as giving them more stitches and less anesthesia.

Is there such a selfless good employee who insists on working without overtime pay?Everyone looked at each other silently, and didn't ask any more questions tactfully. Yan Fei had already opened the door and was waiting at the door.
