After the disaster

Considering that buying a house in the future may require more cornmeal, Qiu Cheng started preparations for planting the next crop of rice after returning home. Presumably, after some domestic rice is harvested this autumn, the price of rice will not increase. It will be as good as it is now.

Qiu Cheng didn't intend to let Zhou Quan go up to the fifteenth floor, but in order to let him find something to do and not be too at a loss, Qiu Cheng moved the two voles on the fifteenth floor down and placed them on the fourteenth floor In 1408, the house where Zhou Quan now lives is next door.

When handing over these voles to him, Qiu Cheng carefully told Zhou Quan about his experience in raising voles, and also told him the current situation of these voles. fumbled.

With these voles, Zhou Quan's life seems to have a focus all of a sudden. Apart from working with Qiu Cheng'achang, he spends the rest of his time taking care of the voles.

It takes a lot of time just to go out to collect grass seeds and bugs every day, as well as to clean the vole cages, observe the condition of the mother mice, and divide the grown-up mice into nests in time.

Every meal time, Qiu Chengcheng would open the door of 1406 and call Zhou Quan to come over to eat together. Zhou Quan would go back to his 1407 after eating. Staying in 1406 made him feel a little uncomfortable. , It is not so easy to integrate into a new environment.

Qiu Cheng usually wouldn't keep him. He obviously didn't have that close relationship, so there was no need to act too close to save everyone from embarrassment.

After dinner that day, Zhou Quan went back to 1407 soon, and Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang were still sitting on the terrace of their own house with the air conditioner blowing on them to enjoy the cool.

Qiu Cheng thought about it. There was only a TV set in the room next door, but no computer. Anyway, he also had a network cable at home, so he went out to buy a computer for him another day, so that Zhou Quan could also access the Internet. Young people feel bored.

As the sun sets, the lights come on.Qiu Cheng leaned against the railing and looked at the residents of Jiayuan community below, carrying buckets, jugs and other containers, and wearing hats and gloves, walking out of the community in twos and threes. Qiu Cheng knew that they were all going out to catch bugs.

Now the duck farm by the Xinnan River has to light black lights all night almost every night, and many residents in the vicinity spend all night catching insects outside.

Turtle Yellow and the others no longer spray pesticides. On the one hand, pesticides are expensive, but they are not very effective. Even if the insects are sprayed with pesticides, they will not die.Moreover, no matter how much pesticide is sprayed tonight, a large number of insects will come over there tomorrow when the black light is on.

On the other hand, it is also because Turtle Huang and the others have started collecting bugs. Although it is useless at the moment, they can also be made into dried bugs and stored first.Anyway, Shen Dingjun wouldn't ask them for worms, besides, even if the turtle would give these worms, would Shen Dingjun dare to feed them to ducks?

Qiu Cheng saw Zhou Quan's figure in the crowd, and couldn't help laughing. This kid is still a little cautious in front of him now, but he gets along well with the people in the community.

After sitting on the terrace for more than an hour, Qiu Cheng spread out his palms. The original handful of broken jade had been condensed by his spiritual power into a piece of jade the size of a quail egg. This piece of jade was transparent and beautiful without any blemishes. If it was in the past, it would cost tens of thousands casually, but it is a pity that it is not very valuable these days.

Putting this piece of jade into a wooden basket by the wall, Qiu Cheng opened his "eyes of heaven and earth" to look at the situation in Xinnan City.

Although the "eyes of heaven and earth" can give him insight into the troubles in the whole Xinnan City, Qiu Cheng will not spend a lot of time on this matter.After all, his time and energy alone are limited. As long as he doesn't feel that his safety is not threatened, Qiu Cheng will generally not spend so much time on the "eyes of heaven and earth".

Opening the "eyes of heaven and earth", Qiu Cheng first took a look at the movements of several important figures in Xinnan City. At this time of the day, those important figures were either reuniting with their families at home or meeting with people from their own faction. , it is often easier to hear some important content that cannot be heard during the day.

Afterwards, Qiu Cheng changed several places and found that Xinnan City was still the same as usual on this day. The topics everyone talked about were just those few things, food, medicinal materials, insect plagues, weather, and of course, there were some things about certain people. However, Qiu Cheng is not very interested in these things.

Finally, he switched the screen to the night market. Ah Chang likes to watch the screen of the night market the most, and he can watch it with gusto every time.

Fixing the picture on the three-way intersection in front of the train station, Qiu Cheng turned around and went into the house and grabbed a handful of broken jade, ready to continue refining work.

A few days ago, they spent one hundred and eight jade stones just to set up a "eye of heaven and earth". The faster it will be consumed, if you don't replace it with new jade, then the "eyes of heaven and earth" will be invalid.

Just when Qiu Cheng grabbed a handful of broken jade and returned to the terrace, he found that the expression on Ah Chang's face was a bit wrong. Usually, he was very happy every time he watched the night market, but this time he frowned.

Qiu Cheng didn't ask Ah Chang aloud, but opened his eyes in his consciousness. After a while, the expression on his face also became heavy.

At this moment, in the train station square in Xinnan City, a special group of passengers just came out of the train station. They supported each other and moved slowly in the empty train station square.

Through the "eyes of heaven and earth", Qiu Cheng saw everything clearly. He saw the bewilderment of those people when they faced a strange city, and also saw the despair and longing in their eyes.

Although Yu Hongzhu has already said on TV that all the pills in their family have been taken out and are gone now, there are always people who refuse to give up, because once they give up, they will lose the lives of themselves or their relatives .

So even if the chances are slim, these people still came to Xinnan City, because Yu Hongzhu is from this place, because all over the country, only Xinnan City has infected people who have successfully struggled out of the death line.

Regarding the virus that spreads wildly in the south, scientists' research has made staged progress. At the same time, this virus also has its own name. The academic name is a bit long, because it starts with the letter Y. Now everyone It is commonly called the Y virus.

Y virus, the vast majority of people recognized the name, and also made preparations for a long-term battle. It took humans five years to successfully defeat the original X virus. How long will it take?

The reason why war is cruel is that every time it occurs, it is accompanied by death, and this time is the same.

One cannot experience the cruelty of death until one has seen it with one's own eyes.Although Qiu Cheng also knew before that the virus was killing many people outside of Xinnan City, but at this moment, when these infected people and their relatives from other places came before his eyes, this cruel The reality still brought him a shock. Knowing and seeing are different after all.

That night, Qiu Cheng struggled in his heart for a long time, but in the end he still didn't give these people a "sliver of life".

He just took advantage of the dead of night to go to the temple where these people lived, and threw three "Jie Baidu" into the well. These three "Jiebai Du" were dissolved and diluted in the well water, and how much was left in the end? Qiu Cheng couldn't explain the nature of the medicine, but he could only do so much.

Today's Xinnan City is already eye-catching. If there is news that someone has obtained a "line of life" in Xinnan City at this time, I am afraid that a large number of infected people will flock to Xinnan City. There will definitely be many speculators who will arrive, and if they are unlucky, they may be targeted by certain forces.

Qiu Cheng is basically a good person, but he is not a saint after all, and he can't sacrifice his life for righteousness. When encountering such a thing, the first thing he has to guarantee is his own safety.

Back home, looking at the remaining pills, Qiu Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all.

The reason why he only threw three "elimination of one hundred poisons" into that well just now was because he didn't want this matter to attract too many people's attention.

Presumably those people came to Xinnan City to look for a "line of hope", and they shouldn't rush back when they didn't find it. If they stayed in that temple for a few more days and drank the well water from that well every day, their illness should be cured. There may be some improvement, but it will not be too obvious.

Looking at the remaining pills, Qiu Cheng knew that each pill in this bottle could determine the life and death of those infected.

Now, people die every day from being infected with the Y virus. Does he still keep these pills at home?

At two o'clock in the morning, Qiu Cheng knocked on the door of Room 1407.

"Who?" Zhou Quan's voice was alert.

"It's me, open the door." Qiu Cheng said.

After a while, Zhou Quan opened the door to let Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang who were outside into the room, and then closed the door again.

"These buns are for you to eat tomorrow, as well as these cornmeal and seasonings. Ah Chang and I are going out for a trip, and we may not be able to come back tomorrow night. You are at home by yourself these two days, and you are hungry. Yes, if someone downstairs asks, don't tell them about our going out."

As Qiu Cheng spoke, he put some things in his hands on a small table in the room. In addition to some food and seasonings, there was also a rice cooker. He remembered that Zhou Quan didn't seem to have a rice cooker in his room.

"I see." Zhou Quan nodded, and then asked Qiu Chengdao: "What if someone from the Wang family or Shen Xing has something to do with you?"

"Just tell them I'm going to pick up the goods." Qiu Cheng said.According to what Qiu Cheng said to the outside world, he has a few friends who drive, and the things he usually sells are brought back from other places by those friends who drive.

After coming out of Zhou Quan's house, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went downstairs. Under the cover of night, they quietly left Jiayuan Community and lurked all the way to the nearby railway.

This time when going out, Qiu Cheng wanted to send the "jiebaidu" on his hand to the south. In order not to leave a record, they didn't buy a ticket, but took the train directly.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when the temperature is the lowest in the day. Even in this hot summer, there is a trace of coolness in the air.

Qiu Cheng and A Chang lay beside the weedy railway track, the dew on the grass blades made dots on their clothes, and not far away, a freight train came roaring with its whistle...

A moment later, the train rumbled and rolled onto the railroad track in front of Qiu Cheng and the others' hiding place. The airflow from the fast-moving train bent the weeds beside the railroad track, and the two people hiding in the grass didn't know When has disappeared.
